Several of the tv stations broadcasting the olympics are on cable (eg USA). I understand the desire to watch for free, but cable is certainly not an unrelated product here.

If you have a raspberry pi you can probably set up a vpn at a house with cable and watch it that way. For my provider I think they simply match the IP to the ISP (the login was automatic).

So, what are you saying, Japanese over abstract their society? That sounds about right actually.

You’ll never beat the pragmatism of Americans.
You might be onto something. I read in a book about the world's economic history and why the industrial revolution started in the UK that one of the likely reasons was the rising expense of labour which forced businesses to then find more efficient ways to work which lead to machines and industrialization. So basically In any setting with a surplus of cheap labour this incentive simply isn't there.
Or maybe some weird TRON thing? I know that Japan has some interesting and widespread-yet-exotic-for-us embedded things, some of which are bound to end up in their ATMs.

Add MK Ultra to that list. The Internet and social media have made it so much easier to run disinformation campaigns. The only defense is to teach people critical thinking. It's almost impossible to police the content.

> One simple terminal command out of curiosity will basically force you to reinstall the OS.

You mean like `sudo rm -rf /`? Would an equivalent command run by an admin on Windows not cause the same types of issues?

Sure, there might be some files that can't be deleted while the system is running (like kernel32.dll or whatever it's called), but you'll certainly break a lot of things which you can only reasonably fix by reinstalling Windows.

> It gets tedious fast to the point that I just want to develop

What type of development do you do? Front end web development? C#/.NET/WPF? Something else?

Because life as a developer on unix is much much nicer than it is on Windows for most types of work. If you're not one of those people who is stuck with Visual Studio, you should invest time into learning to work on Linux, Mac, FreeBSD, etc. It'll be better for your job prospects (and sanity) in the long run.
That is correct. When one runs `pip install dlib`, only a .tar.gz file is retrieved. Then the building process takes a long while!

It's always a tradeoff whether you want to read some other code or work on something else. Rust ecosystem is not that mature so for a few libraries I had to end up rewriting the thing myself with some fixes or without some bloat. I'm writing an application level thing and I need as many utilities as possible as I do not want to write all the layers for all the abstractions that end up in my product. Then when something breaks I investigate, offer a fix, open an issue or whatever. I'm not writing something that requires too much reliability or whatever, the utility is elsewhere.

Compared to what other Asian technological power? Japan at least has a pathway to citizenship for foreigners, China does not. In China if you're Elon Musk you might get an offer of permanent residence or if you're well-connected to the party, but regardless they are not a nation of immigrants(their words, not mine) and they're doing fine.

I suspect I hit the sweet spot when I lived in Japan from 1993-1995 if I interpret your comment correctly. I remember being impressed by the tech. For example: ATMs into which one inserted not only a card, but also a transaction book which would be mechanically updated (versus spitting out a slip). I still have mine. We're talking about Japan so, naturally, my bank book features Snoopy prominently on its cover.
Wow indeed they look good but they are crazy expensive especially when ordered in Europe. $375 for all 3. If I'd get them it would be mainly just as a matter of interest but I couldn't warrant that kind of expense.

I'd actually prefer ebooks but they don't seem to be available like that at all.
Yes, but this is a huge part of the history of the Olympics. The Dream Team in 1992, athletes who worked for their governments (and just trained full-time) in the 70s, athletes living an impoverished life for years while chasing their Olympic dreams (see Steve Prefontaine working as a bartender).
That’s a really good point: like having a degree of immunity through prolonged exposure!

Even in events where they are forced, by the nature of the event, to show competitors from non-US countries, the announcers spend the entire event fawning all over the US competitors without pause or silence. While a non-US athlete is up there setting a new world record, NBC aims the camera at the US guy and says things like "It's a race for bronze, folks!"
> Outcomes matter more than output. A focus on output yields sub-par outcomes.

In my experience, this is true mostly for planning and control. It's important to remember the goal when building something, but at some point you need to focus on the output as well. "a focus on outcomes only doesn't yield any output"
"France has no plan on replacing them is mostly caused by political "no-decision"."

Bullshit. Nuclear died outside of China because it was oversold and an economic calamity. You can't even install nuclear without massive government subsidies (not least a huge liability waiver where the state basically takes on all liability, not done for any other energy source). The cost to build, operate, retrofit and decommission is always massively over the expected, and it has only gotten worse.

There are places where nuclear is by far the best option, and its extreme costs and safety needs are acceptable. There are many others where it just never yielded the promise.

> Sure, only “privileged” people should have children

That is not at all what I said. If you are trying to have a net positive effect in the world, and you have the means to do so, raising a child with a good education, instilling the best of your values in them, etc., is a fantastic force multiplier and a good way to ensure that someone like you keeps being a net good in the world.

Beyond that, raising children has brought me more joy than anything else. I would not wish a childless life upon anybody. I am optimistic that we can teach teach our children to find solutions to the problems they will have. This is not just passing the buck: every generation needs to work for the betterment of mankind. I just want to help raise the smartest, strongest generation yet.

Re crash data: MS actually provides crash data to 3rd party providers who set things up correctly. So if you have a desktop app you don't need to roll your own crash collecting system if Winqual [0] is enough. Apps that roll their own (like chrome and 100s of other crashpad based apps) usually disable MS error reporting for their executables.

Also MS does ship shims for popular 3rd party apps that don't fix themselves, for better or worse...

This is just not true for the vast majority of the world. Not everyone is American and in tech.
Although a lot of the mistrust of mainstream news is well earned, there is also an explosion of doubt and misinformation these days. (How many stories these days are a media story with a strawman? "You'll never believe what [publication] is saying!") The NY Times actually does a lot of good journalism these days. At least at the level of the individual story and/or writer. But people have become so cynical or mistrustful, that a NY Times article is dismissed automatically even when it shouldn't. Feel free to swap out NY Times for any other publication which performs good journalism.

There's a difference between legitimate criticism of a publication, (which nearly any publication would deserve to varying degrees) and lazy, automatic dismissals of the news as "broadly untrustworthy."

(To be clear, and at a personal level, I don't particularly like the NY Times. Their headlines are often politicized and the editorial section is completely awful. However if you get off the front page and just read some of their in depth reporting, you'd be crazy to write them off as wholly biased or untrustworthy.)
> For example, 'foo2bar' would not be valid, nor would 'fo911baz'. 'fo23ba23' works.

But according to what you wrote, "foo2bar" would be OK? It seems to satisfy the 'no more than 3 consecutive numbers or letters' requirement.

Also, the obvious answer to this is RLE compressing your passwords. ;) foo2bar could be easily written as f1o221b1a1r1 to make it acceptable.
I hear this a lot about social security in the US as well, that it will fail. I would characterize it as degrading instead of failing. If the workforce declines there will be fewer payers into social security or pensions, then folks paying into social security will have to pay more, recipients will get fewer benefits, or the government will print money

Did you perhaps confuse wind and solar with nuclear? The design of a nuclear plant is precisely the opposite of what you describe.

Even if there was one person who believed in heaven, if they also wanted unlimited life on earth, I'd be interested to hear why they believe both.
> Software is treated as a second-class career in most major corporations. There's less cultural prestige with being a software engineer.

While I can't comment on the latter half of this statement, the first still rings true even today. The PlayStation 5 came out and featured a completely new system interface, and there have been numerous complaints about everything from navigation to moving saves forward from the PS4 to the PS5. Microsoft, Sony's biggest competitor in the space, chose to iterate on their interface, and while there are still some complaints, keeping the same wheel let them focus on things like easing the transition between hardware boxes via game updates and syncing saves.

For example, if you want to move a save game from a PS4 to a PS5 running an updated version of the game:

- Start the game on the old PS4, and make sure the save is synced to the cloud service.

- Install the PS4 version of the game on the PS5. On launch, the system didn't do a very good job of distinguishing the two versions of a game.

- Launch the PS4 version of the game on the PS5, just to pull the game down from the cloud service.

- Launch the PS5 version of the game on the PS5, so it can ingest the now-local cloud save.

Microsoft set up some system-level infrastructure to handle installing the "correct" version of the game (useful since they're selling two boxes with different specs) and has always handled save games as cloud saves, so moving between platforms can be as simple as "install game, start game", provided the developer/publisher hasn't opted out of the upgrade infrastructure (so they can sell an upgrade path).

This isn't the first time such thing has happened and it won't be last. Windows has becoming more and more painful as Operating System as in operating the machine and has been trying to operate the user instead.

The incidents I mentioned about Winmerge and Kdiff3 did happen with me and I stand by that. Above comment does not quote anyone but convey my understanding of the replies in general, which I now understand to be less than perfect.

But,

> unknown software -> don't know whether it's safe -> warn users it's unknown

You must be able to realise that it is not exactly presented in such manner as to be "unknown". Unknown would simply mean windows doesn't know about it and its upto user's discretion. Microsoft, by virtue of all the telemetry, happen to know that this application is uncommon. Why not say that? Why not let the user decide whether they want to run an uncommon app? What is happening here instead, however, is it gets presented as "dangerous" and blocked by default. This, along with Microsoft's position ends up being (in my humble opinion) an abuse of powerful position. And that, again, in my own humble opinion is unacceptable in being defended.
These power plants are also responsible for most of the local NO2 in the air. NO2, on the other hand, can be measured well with satellites. This calls for a performance indicator as proof-of-decarbonization.

> Physical attractiveness is also never a bad thing

I used to work with an ex-military guy (extremely bright, hard working, excellent leader, etc. etc.).

He was about 64 inches (1.63 meters) tall, balding, and not the handsomest fella. He told me point blank: "I was never going to become a general or achieve any other extremely high rank simply because I didn't have 'the look' or physical stature of a general."
College football has been that for about 20 years. The rich got richer, the Saturdays got less interesting, the players got the short end.

It's somewhat baffling that all the also-ran schools have such strong fanbases still - it's so stacked against them, moreso than in any other league.
It's useful, at this point, to carry a default assumption that reporting is propaganda or otherwise misrepresented. This arguably extends even into research;

Richard Smith, who edited BMJ for 13 years, on the state of health research: "It may be time to move from assuming that research has been honestly conducted and reported to assuming it to be untrustworthy until there is some evidence to the contrary."

> I'm not seeing a way forward for them as a technological power again until they first address some of their social issues

Japan closed its borders for a period of 214 years known as Sakoku 鎖国.

The collapse of the Shogunate was because Samurais lived off tax revenue on farmers, while the wealthy merchants ( who were the the lowest in the class system) were not directly taxed because commerce was viewed as an immoral activity.

After World War II, Japan became insular and focused on improving domestically, and almost became the superpower.

I don't think they care about being the financial superpower if it means having to give up the very thing which makes them great ( tradition ). It's a very American ideal / virtue to treat financial wealth as the ultimate goal ( ironically not necessarily the highest standard of living ). Modern China on the hand is more willing to import ideas. That said, during the Meiji restoration where Japan rapidly industrialized, one of the mottos was 'western technology, Japanese spirit'. Covid-19 has barred out foreigners which means less tourist revenue, but my impression is that tourist revenue was a 'nice to have' since they're here anyways. Only a small minority of business owners in Kyoto have indicated to me they actively want tourists back.

Japan's preservation of its tradition and culture is two faceted. Unfortunately, you can't pick and choose the things you think is backwards about Japan while admiring their tradition. It's a bundle.
I was making two points and saying I also think clueless woke charter school parents are especially harmful and perhaps the real problem lies somewhere between something AA can address and the actual logistics of how schools receive funding and how much. I’m not necessarily sold that strictly AA at earlier stages really solves for these problematic situations either, though it might help and I do think that if AA is going to solve anything it has a much better shot and bigger impact in the early years, yes. I also suspect attacking the problem differently (at the state or city level not school board level) might be more effective at side skirting the stalemate. Ignore all that.

What is the argument from these people that show up across the board to oppose AA programs at younger levels? What are the programs? What is their goal? Just trying to get a profile on the type of people who are frustrating you.
They named it "Society 5.0" but they don't address the issues of their society that will actually cause problems keeping up. Their technological prowess is already well established, and does not need much boost. However, Japan's got a few social issues that will hold it back - particularly the work hours requirements, and related to that, it's low birth rates.

That seems most likely. They thought that it doesn't matter if they back these tethers with BTC because BTC is a better investment than the UDS anyways. Once they went down that path they had no way of getting out other than printing more tether to prop up BTC when BTC dropped.
Americans drive this too. If you read carefully I didn't say we don't.
> So op venting about shit is "maybe exaggerating a bit" and "important frustration" but other people venting is just "defensiveness"?

From the perspective that Haiku is a product, would you rather have people associate your product with people who took your frustrated feedback to heart or people who told you to shut up because you missed a burreid forum posting about hardware compatibility? If you're an enthusiast of said product, you're doing no one any favors by being hostile.

> Ars Technica literally made a long article about how Haiku worked on a cheap-ass laptop

Which does nothing for someone who couldn't get it to run on any of the hardware they tried it on.

I'm just saying, it's sadly very common, does nothing to help anybody, and leaves people with a negative opinion of their community.
> softer latin "J" (identical to an I)

That's a fun one here in the US. My employer has an office in Romania, so many of my coworkers have names that start with an I for the voiced palatal approximant sound. These names would start with a J in English, have the I in Romanian, and are pronounced (more or less) like an English "y" sound. For example, Julian -> Iulian, approximately pronounced Yoo-lee-an. For extra complication for those in the States, many default fonts show minimal differences between a capital I and a lower-case L, so some people read it as Loo-Lee-An.

They do serve a normative aim, i.e., 'we should have drivable two-way roads', yes.

I'm not sure we need to reduce all norms to 'morality'. But if we think of morality in a really broad way, like 'humans (or other sapient creatures) seeking to satisfy preferences or impose additional structure on nature or society for their own purposes in a universalizable/principled (i.e., fair) way', then definitely: laws should always be motivated in some way by morality.

That's different from the claim (which I'm not saying you've made) that this relationship means that laws should always simply 'encode' moral norms in some direct sense, which imo is a common (and mistaken) simplification.

But yeah I think we're on the same page.
It's true I didn't know about Morphy when I made my comment, I read on Wikipedia afterwards.

In context the quote has different connotations. However, having taken it at face value, I stand by my comment.

Nothing in the Morphy quote explicitly addresses the technicalities of becoming a world class chess player.

In general playing chess well means something else to the general public than to a GM level player. My comment was made having the former interpretation in mind - Morphy was obviously talking from his (very different) point of view.
