Yes, that's it. The article almost embarrassingly equates Taiwan with Fabs. It makes sense from a certain perspective but in the big picture it's not that big of a deal.

In 400 years, Taiwan's political status will be relevant, ASIC fabs will be a footnote.

And in Haskell they are monad comprehensions these days, so they can build more than lists. They actually used to be so back in the 90s, but Haskell 98 was conservative and restricted them to lists.
Once you need concurrency or have anything but the most basic logic almost anything trumps bash. It’s possible to implement basically anything in bash, of course, but that doesn’t make it sensible. Its error handling is poor, there are too many ways to do things (eg [ vs [[ vs test), dealing with non-scalar data is a pain, it has subtle gotchas (accidentally spawning a subshell and shadowing variables), it’s cryptic (${foo#bar} and friends are cool but much harder to remember than something like .replace()), and so on.

If I’m just writing small tools that wire a few basic commands together bash is fine. For anything that actually needs data to be crunched or decent error handling Python, Go, Perl (though also cryptic), C++ are, IMO, a far better choice.

The point of Spectre attacks is that they use side channel to infer the target's data from communication between the target and the attacking userspace process. This is possible even over the network, so ring 2 wouldn't help much.

The thing with information is that once it is shared, it can't be unshared. Sure, blocking cross-site tracking would ostensibly make monopolistic accumulation of new data more difficult, but except for the most decay prone information, there is already a comprehensive profile established for a good chunk of the users, which can be milked for a good while. This is not even taking into account of backchannel acquisition of the missing data (i.e. through brokers) with the sweet sweet profits already made, potency of which is enhanced when joined with existing data (and therefore still creating monopolistic dynamics).
5 years ago in Des Moines McDonald's was starting people at $13/hour, so $14 isn't really out of line for a starting wage. McDonald's has always been the low wage leader just barely able to get enough people to work at the wages they pay.

I short, I don't think there is anything abnormal about your claim that they are starting at $14 and unable to find anyone.
Good luck finding anybody with a "very positive" view of C++ other than maybe Bjarne.

People that do real work with C++ will give you an honest assessment of its strengths and weaknesses. There are good reasons it's still so widely used and it's still the right tool for some jobs. Using it for something it's not well suited for is a mistake, of course.

Of course it's also a tool with a lot of legacy cruft accumulated over decades so it's not a great analogy for Tailwind.

> Email surveillance is maybe going even further in a worse direction, in that it's even more decontextualized and time-independent.

Are any major email providers still selling ads targeted by the content of messages?
> Can they still run A/B tests?

If I were writing the rules, I'd exclude anything that looks routing-like. "IP address A sees version 1, IP address B sees version 2, with some amount of ephemeral data involved to support pinning" is fine. Basic hit-counter type stats are fine. (though I think A/B tests are abusive crap and would love to see them go away, on a personal level, I don't think they necessarily qualify as spying, though the way they're practiced right now probably does tend collect & retain enough information that they absolutely are, but might not with some modification)

> Show you products that they think you will want to buy based on your purchase history?

No. Maybe with some kind of opt-in or otherwise making that something the user has to intentionally ask for. But if you're not using others' purchasing data to decide what those might be (and that would definitely be off-limits) then that's not very different from just having categories your users can browse.
If social media becomes a common carrier, but ISPs do not, can Facebook just host their service on their own ISP and block unwanted users at the ISP level? "It's not Facebook blocking the user, it's the ISP, which happens to be the only ISP we host Facebook on."

This is primarily a result of the absurd number of dependencies NPM encourages (requires?) people to use. The duplicates are also there in part because of the large number of dependencies and should not be shown more than once by the tool.

Stop building projects with an absurdly large dependency tree, this is just one problem that results from it.

Many profitable business models do not survive competition with unprofitable ones without becoming unprofitable.

If WeWork subsidizes all office space with ~50 billion dollars, all other profitable landlords will need to lower prices to compete. To the investor the only viable business is the one that grows so large as to not have any unprofitable competition.
You forgot the "Hidden Gems" section with movies that you had already watched and even rated.
Singular they in the sense you're talking about is a very recent invention. The sense of "an unknown or unspecified person" has been around that long, yes. However using "they" to refer to a known single person is a recent invention that's been pushed with this bad argument about how it's been around forever.

I don't really have a strong opinion on this new sense of the word, but I do really dislike falsely involving Chaucer when pushing it.

Edit: This is the sort of disingenuous argumentation I'm talking about. Every single usage I saw skimming through did not refer to a single, known person:

Let's take Satoshi for example a top notch computer scientist and a top notch C++ programmer. Who is even close to him? Vitalik? Kid who dropped out of college and rediscovered Satoshi's smart contract scripting language that Bitcoin had way back in 2008. Is Gavin Andresen[2] still involved?

A call to minimize distraction and respect users’ attention (2013)
Not just that: I know CSS reasonably well, and I understand what most of Tailwind classes do on their own.

But for the life of me I could never come up with a consistent set of rules like margins, paddings, colors etc.

Tailwind is a mini design system on its own (even if it's "just a utility-first CSS framework"). I don't have to spend too much time thinking which margins to add or set the typography right. Set an `m-2` and a `text-sm`, and you're done :)

All/Most of that can definitely be replicated with, say, CSS vars, but then you're back to "okay, how do I consistently name these components".
very cool...had not known that modern trail, and lived not far from it for years. thank you
I believe the biggest single thing isn't mentioned in the article: take online threats seriously. That's not an Internet solution to the Internet problem, but physical threats are a meatspace problem and require a meatspace solution.

As it is, it feels like an extension of the way many kinds of harassment and assault are ignored by police. "It's too hard to prove" or "his word against hers", and so it's just dropped. Death and rape threats on the Internet are treated as if everybody were behind seven proxies, and that's just not the case. They're treated as if the 99.99% chance that they're just some asshole blowing off steam means that they don't matter, but in fact you don't want to be the .01% and that means constant vigilance.

Prosecuting death and rape threats wouldn't fix the Internet, but it would brush back some of it. The article's other suggestions are also interesting, and it's really important that we stop clean-sheeting every single discussion forum as if harassment weren't an issue.

A "feminist internet" would take seriously the fact that harassment, real world and Internet, is a genuine thing and not an afterthought. There's a lot more to it: the article mentions some of the competition for status that the Internet feeds on, and that's largely orthogonal to the violence. But the violence is more visible and presents some more straightforward solutions: prosecute it.
Who thought that an API to connect to serial devices from browsers was a good idea? It seems kind of dangerous to me.
Haskell's comprehension syntax is very powerful and quite a bit more general than what is described here.

It can both be generalized to arbitrary monads through `MonadComprehension` and has extended syntax that brings in basic SQL operators (such as grouping and sorting) through `TransformListComp` as well as zipping through `ParallelListComp`.

The links are respectively https://ghc.gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/doc/users_guide/exts/mona..., https://ghc.gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/doc/users_guide/exts/gene..., and https://ghc.gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/doc/users_guide/exts/para....

And what's more is that all three of these play very nicely with each other, so that you can write SQL-like syntax to deal with say an arbitrary, side-effectful stream rather than a finite data structure.

That means you can write something like (to take the example from the `TransformListComp` docs)

output = [ (the dept, sum salary)
| (name, dept, salary) <- employees
, then group by dept using groupWith
, then sortWith by (sum salary)
, then take 5 ]

where `employees` is e.g. a paginated HTTP endpoint that you're hitting.

It can make for some very nice code.

I've lived in dozens of locations across the country and never lived in a dry county, and only occasionally encountered it in my travels. The amount of the population they affect is minuscule, despite the impressive looking charts - many of those counties are pretty low population. And as others pointed out pretty easy to work around. Even crazier than dry counties was South Carolina's mini-bottle laws. If you want something truly mind blowing do a quick search on that madness.

As for our healthcare - I'll keep our system, warts and all. Not saying it can't be improved but at least I know when I need care I will be able to get it in my (literal!) lifetime. And if I'm sufficiently motivated I can get the best care available. I'll take that over any least common denominator one-size-fits-all model any day. Maybe your politicians are just better at running government programs - ours aren't. They are stupid bad at it. All I have to do is look at how well the free government provided health care is for our military veterans and know I don't want our government anywhere near my healthcare, thank you very much.

Solar hot water heaters are cheap and can easily be 50% efficient, beating the heck out of 21%-efficient mass-market PV cells, often even if the PV cells are driving a heat pump. Thermosiphon-type solar hot-water heaters don't even need a pump, just a super-low-pressure check valve. Less efficient, but maybe even better, are safer passively-cooled solar hot water heaters, which can be made out of cheap materials like plastics and cement instead of stainless steel, and don't require a temperature-limiting valve to keep you from scalding yourself.

However, even if hot-water heaters aren't where it's at, I think circadian thermal energy storage is a pretty big deal for demand response, and demand response is pretty important for the renewables transition—though not as essential as many claim. There's thermal-mass energy storage like the hot-water heater approach (and Trombe walls, and earth-berm walls, and several other possibilities), but phase-change storage like the ice-battery approach mentioned in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27757018 allow an order of magnitude higher energy storage density and easier temperature control, and "thermochemical energy storage" (generally through reversible hydration of desiccants such as CaCl₂) potentially allows another order of magnitude density improvement over phase-change materials, as well as offering the possibility of thermally-driven air conditioning, humidification, and dehumidification, as well as greater controllability.

I wrote extensive notes on this in https://dercuano.github.io/topics/thermodynamics.html (especially https://dercuano.github.io/notes/big-if-true.html#addtoc_8 and https://dercuano.github.io/notes/household-thermal-stores.ht...) and also Derctuo and Dernocua.

Despite what many pundits and politicians are saying, simply raising wages does not solve the problem. That's like telling people that are struggling to find a home to simply pay more.

The real problem is that there is a lack of supply. We know this because the workforce participation rate is at record lows. Yes, employers can try to poach employees off of each other, but until the fundamental issue is resolved, which is that there is a lack of workers in the labor pool compared to any time in the last several decades, these problems will persist.

This is a tangential argument, but of course government-provided media are not devoid of censorship/bias. That's because nobody is. The market is also not devoid of censorship/bias, neither in its supply of information nor in the resulting consumption.

Public service broadcasters are not about alleviating censorship; they are primarily a means of providing a solid base level of access to information. They cannot reasonably provide access to all information.

Your remarks on oversight are a very valid concern; that's why Germany, for example, has publicly funded (not state-funded; they get a mandatory fee from citizens over which the state has no control) but state-independent public service institutions.

There's much more to the argument, but a central point here is the shift from regulating supply to regulating consumption. One can trivially argue that platforms are harmless because any censorship they implement is not total in the sense of absolute government censorship - you're free to publish your stuff elsewhere.

But today, more and more countries are seeking to ensure healthy consumption of information, and to enable this, they need to intervene in platforms' content curation.

It's a dangerous argument, of course, because this is precisely what totalitarian states are doing. But - and this is important - regulating content is something that democracies have always had to do, e.g. banning libelous content, revenge porn etc. etc.
