With the codebase as big and complex as Linux, you don't have to know everything to be able to contribute. It will be different module being implemented in different language, and more language supported is more people can contribute to the codebase (people who has been put off by C).

Furthermore, for a language to be supported, it must have enough infrastructure (tooling, people, convention...) to support that language first, so people to review patches shouldn't be a problem.

Obviously, language should not be added willy-nilly, it must prove that it can solve some problem that the current set of languages can not solve efficiently, and base on that merit, it will choose to write/rewrite the modules that have the most of those problems first.

TL,DR: a decentralized codebase.

For context, these are China's current restrictions on gaming for minors (under age 18):

- Maximum 1.5 hours of gaming on weekdays

- Maximum 3 hours of gaming on weekends

- No games between 10pm and 8am (note that school typically starts between 7 and 8am)

South Korea has similar types of restrictions, by the way. No gaming for minors (under 16) between midnight and 6am. I think Vietnam may have something similar as well.

Yep. It's burdening 99% of legitimate users with a very minor inconvenience, to stop the 1% of bad actors who would otherwise end up doing a lot of really bad things that would harm the 99% in ways that go far outside the scope we think of as covered by the financial system.

This sort of exercise, both in thought and realization, is important for this generation of young people. Some of the ideas are silly and/or naive. But there have been too few of these experiments proposed by the young, and even fewer attempted in real life, over the last couple decades.

Utopian communities were part and parcel of 19th C America, and there was a flutter of activity around communes and intentional communities in the 1960s and 1970s. We have the infrastructure and technology nowadays to do better.

The long term success rate today would probably still be low, but the value in the exercise is in the personal growth experience for the young themselves and the prototyping of new ideas, some of which migrate to the general culture. Lots of lessons learned are available from books written about these past communities to prevent making the same mistakes.

Perhaps the risks are just too high these days for the young…

That research presupposes that the virus came from bats to uses this to draw the conclusion that a more bat like variant found elsewhere is the origin point - however researchers know that COVID binds more tightly to human cells that both bat and pangolin, and more strongly to pangolin than bat.

https://scitechdaily.com/researchers-find-covid-19-virus-was...

“The computer modelling found the virus’s ability to bind to the bat ACE2 protein was poor relative to its ability to bind human cells. This argues against the virus being transmitted directly from bats to humans. Hence, if the virus has a natural source, it could only have come to humans via an intermediary species which has yet to be found,”

I haven't read the article or the book in question, but this reminds me of the hullabaloo about git master branches.

Never in my life have I associated git or its default branch name with American slavery. I would be shocked if a single black programmer in the world had considered before last year that it might be offensive. I haven't discussed the issue with any black friends or family, but it's just such an odd leap to make even if the claim about its etymology is potentially correct.

Of course, if even a minority of black programmers were or are offended, it's not my place as a non-black person to tell them they're wrong. I'll happily rename all my branches, update all my code that references master, rename all "master" test environments/hostnames, and update the gitconfig on all my machines, if credible surveys come out showing that a statistically significant number of black programmers genuinely consider master branches offensive.

Until then, I'm not going to do free labor to back up what so far appears to be an ill-conceived PR stunt on GitHub/Microsoft's part. The only arguments I've seen in favor of renaming master have been from white people appealing to technicalities/etymology, as if solving a puzzle to prove whether it should be offensive according to some logic, rather than any kind of appeal to the feelings of actual humans.

"Robotic wokeness" is a nice term to describe this phenomenon. I'm all for Black Lives Matter and correcting genuine injustices, but it's harmful to everyone when private interests artificially manufacture outrage and social justice causes solely for their own benefits.

Right, but that ability is limited to them. If I want to opt out of the tracking, all I have to do is shop at another store, or wait until they forget. Worst case I can flee to another town.

I just resigned from Amazon today, and reading this is giving my flashbacks to my earlier years there. When I first joined in 2013, it was incredibly difficult to leverage open source third party libraries and build systems like grunt/gulp. I ended up doing a lot of work to make it possible to model JS dependencies using the standard Amazon dependency management setup and to create bindings to our language/stack agnostic build system. It was an uphill battle at times, but I got things to a point where you could reasonably do things in Amazon similar to how you'd do them externally (without sacrificing any of the advantages of of our first party tools).

The solutions I engineered still had to make some compromises and better solutions by dedicated teams were built later on, of course. All this just to say that I can very readily sympathize with the challenges that Googlers must be facing.

Edit: To clarify, I put in my 2-week notice a while back and today was my last day. That's what I meant by "resigned today".

I hear lots of amazing sounds (and accompanying self congratulation) from the EU when it comes to "human rights". Time and time again though, they prove they're not actually interested in human rights or interests of their own citizens.

Which means all their other cries of human rights about other issues are empty crocodile tears. Even when it may happen that the side they take is a good one from a human rights perspective, that's obviously purely by coincidence that it happens to align with their agenda.

Horrifying.

i think, like somethingawful, the key to keeping propaganda and rage clickbait off a platform is have a trivial payment system for long term subscriptions.

bots and spammers will then naturally select themselves out of the market and with minimal mod efforts, deter the value proposition.

that is to say, ad supported is a symptom. the dieasease is the bad actors, the whales of content creation, have zero barrier to entry.

and socisl platforms are disincentivised to remove users who are generating content, the raw meet, of social media. add even a small entry fee and now theres a benefit to pruning these content creators, as they would need to buyin more.

> The problem is we don't know where the criticality point is

We know that given the inertia we have currently, we are almost guaranteed to hit it. We cannot stop on a dime, and even if we did, the existing inertial effects will continue.

> Incrementalism doesn't make headlines

It also doesn't really work, as evidenced by the complete failure of the incrementalist "reduce, recycle, reuse" campaign, which effected nothing and might well have acted as a safety blanket to prevent serious policy.

But the failure here lies more in a politically dominant demographic that was not ready to understand any reality that might involve policy that impacted material costs or the conveniences, combined with the fact that any relevant solution necessarily would involve those sacrifices.

Alarmism works just fine as a political tool, and it has worked to spur action on many issues - legitimate or not. In this particular case, the alarmism is certainly warranted. And generational shifts allow for a more receptive audience for that message.

Ah, my perspective is coming from Canada where every mortgage is variable rate. ("Fixed rate" mortgages are only locked in for five years).

One would think that would cause US real estate to appreciate much faster than Canada when rates are low, but the opposite is the case. Strange days indeed.

* In Canada you technically can get a 25 year fixed mortgage, but the interest rate is 8.75%. That's a massive premium and I've never heard of anyone doing that.

I'm not sure I would categorize it as "minor inconvenience". In terms of financial numbers, it's estimated to cost 180B$ [1]. You also have to consider all the opportunity costs of what we could achieve with a faster and smoother financial system. And you have to consider financial inclusion and all that, there are lots of really interesting financial instruments that I can't access because there's some retail that doesn't understand exactly how it works and because we lower regulations to lowest common denominator, let's just ban it. We are also cutoff from these exchanges like Binance which have much more liquidity, more interesting products, etc.

And I'm not sure that it's all that effective, especially after seeing HSBC launder money for cartels and get away with it [2]. Oh and none of these regulations obviously stopped 2008 or any of the previous crises.

To me a lot of these regulations seem like the TSA security theatre, seems useful, but at this point, pretty outdated and inefficient.

> Whatever your definition is, it'll be different from mine.

It's not very helpful for you to say you oppose something if you are using a different definition of that thing than everyone else.

Of course I agree with you that doubling the population density of a complex society in a month would lead to negative effects, and you can use that as the threshold for classifying a situation as "mass immigration" if you want, but there's still a tautology there, as you're effectively saying you're against "too much immigration", which is true of just about everyone's position on immigration.

(I suppose some people might think that "too much immigration" cannot occur in practice, because any country that is desirable to immigrate to would have the resources to adapt quickly enough to people arriving at the rates that current transportation systems make possible).

To give a tighter upper bound, though, rather than considering the population of Omaha, let's look at the population of the whole of the US. In 2019 (so before the pandemic) the population growth rate was 0.60% per year, whereas in the past 70 years, the highest rate was 1.76% (in 1956).[0] So empirically I think we can say that the population growth rate could be almost triple what it is today without that growth rate itself being the cause of "disastrous consequences for the local culture, politics, ecosystem, etc.".

However, it is still possible that all of those aspects are negatively affected by the current population density, and that the "ideal" growth rate is negative. What all that means for immigration policy is a further step removed from the data available, but I hope that the above is helpful for thinking about these questions.
