You forgot to explain how the CPython interpreter works, how the operating system works, as well as how a computer works, how a modern super-scalar, out-of-order multi-core microprocessor works and the physics behind silicon-based integrated circuits and electronics.

Abstractions are a good thing. When I write that for loop in C, I don't need to worry how the compiler will translate this into an abstract syntax tree, how that tree gets transformed into machine code nor how the microprocessor will interpret and execute it. I just think in terms of the abstract C machine model unless I need to peek under, usually for performance reasons.

If you truly believe in first principles for teaching programming languages, there's Forth, where a minimal implementation is basically a dozen or so of native primitives and an indirect threaded code core, leaving everything else to the programmer (disclaimer: I've never programmed in Forth nor bootstrapped an interpreter). Or Brainfuck if you don't mind a Turing tarpit, but I'd think twice before introducing that as a beginner's first programming language.
I think you missed the point of my message.

This is a one sided view and also represents classic bias of the western viewpoint.

Sure a "dictator" (more accurately "central power" for China) wants to consolidate power but to think the dictator is a one dimensional being and that all actions a dictator takes only serves that single minded motivation of power solidification is really not reasonable.

Consolidating power is only one aspect of their motivation that much is true. However the article is not about this aspect of the CCP. The actions taken by the regime here represent broad views about what constitutes economic health. The OPs comment is spot on, and captures the main point of the article.

It's worse because you have more management overhead all the way to the chain, more HR and support needs, and more office space required.

A rule of thumb is a worker's full cost is 2x their salary in the US. This varies, but it makes the math easy.

So costs would increase about double that. But if your workers are doing creative work, they might be more productive now per hour and that might offset the costs.
If the lock is effective, then you are definitely going to have cases where a paying customer receives a tool that is locked or re-locked itself.

The organized groups on the other hand now just have a slight inconvenience (at worst, until they reverse engineer the electronic locking) where they have to open and bypass the lock before they re-sell the tool. Power tools aren't complex enough to be able to make them impossible to bypass without the theft still being profitable.
In the same theme, there’s a recent documentary called “The Weight of Gold”, narrated by Michael Phelps and other Olympic champions. Really poignant stories.

It's also unsustainable over the long term. Someone might be able to slog through cranking out code in a rush — most notably, creative / thoughtful work takes a big decline here, although the person crunching usually doesn't recognize it at the time — but it ends up creating silos nobody else understands, and that becomes critical when they either burn out or suffer medical issues from working too hard. If nothing else, 80 hour weeks mean your physical health is probably headed downwards.

A lot of people say they won't do that but … it inevitably happens and then they are in a bad plus, usually learn that the company won't put anywhere near as much effort into protecting them, and that unbalanced lifestyle means they don't have much else to fall back on.

Same with the $15 minimum wage. But it's a start.
Testing serves the same function as type system in C++ - it imposes restrictions on the code and automates checking for those restrictions. It became absolutely necessary with the advent of type-less languages such as JavaScript or PHP.

I am a casual user of JS and was always wondering how to write true asynchronous routines in JS.

The kind you fire and forget and they end when they end. An example would be fetch, but all the docs/tutorials I saw are needed on async await where you have to explicitly yield in your code (as opposed, say, to threading in python or goroutines)

Thanks a lot! Stay posted for open roles - we'll be needing to add to our team in the next few months.

Thanks for pointing out - will sort this out!
This isn't about argumentative logic, it's about proportion and perspective. When we feel we have it rough recognizing that others may have it rougher lends a perspective that leads to gratitude and less self-centeredness. People who suffer often find release from their suffering when they help others. A program where ex-Olympians volunteer to help veterans might do both some good.
Software ate the world.

I also remember feeling that optimistic about technology. It wasn’t until this past year, I am getting an inkling of what happened. It’s a continuation of much longer trends that I didn’t see until I started studying Carol Sanford’s work on regenerative paradigms, responsible business, etc.

The dominant worldview these days is that of the machine world view. It sees the world as complex machinery, with people as cogs. It denies the power of living systems to be able to live and grow on their own, instead, forcing them to intermediate through the machine.

As such, software eating the world is a continuation of that worldview.

I think perhaps, this is the “punk” in cyberpunk; that even though people become part of the machine, they can still change the world for the better against old powers. Old powers didn’t understand how the emerging technology works, so there’s a window of time. Perhaps, that, technologists will maintain a tech gap over old powers. But the old powers had been eaten by machines a long time ago, and when new tech companies arose, that machine world view became further entrenched.

It didn’t solve for the fundamental problem: living systems are not machines. We are capable of growing and changing on our own. We are not consumers. We are not users. Living systems are what makes software come alive; why would we want software to eat us?
>>...the company's fight against organized retail crime. He made a point to distinguish between "professional shoplifters" and disorganized solo thieves. The pros, he said, frequently are connected to a larger network that can, in some cases, function as a sophisticated "shadow business."

OK, so they're fighting pros with bluetooth-enabling the tools at checkout. What could go wrong?

The amateurs will certainly be foiled, while the pros will pay crackers to build a work-around.

Meanwhile, the enabling device will become another point of failure in the product and will cause more warranty claims and dissatisfaction - and there's nothing quite as annoying as being in the middle of a job and having a tool breakdown, especially a newer one that is expected to work for years.

Would also be likely that they'll have miscellaneous connection failures while trying to enable the tool at checkout, e.g., just from EM interference in random locations; that'll make for happy customers...

Sure, it is a serious problem, but I'm not sure this is a good solution.
As a low-middle class white person who struggles to be heard, I find the term 'whitesplain' to be offensive. For the same reason that I find the term 'mansplaining' offensive when applied to some shy guy trying to express their opinion for the first time.

A more appropriate term would be 'richsplaining'; when a rich person tries to explain to a poor person how the world is. It's not about race, it's about wealth. It's still not 100% correlation, but it's closer.

Race is not the root.

> if another player can run faster or fly or has perfect aim, everyone else is basically playing an unwinnable game.

Not a gamer, so forgive me if the proposal is stupid, why not just treat cheaters like they do on (li)chess? If I am playing with someone that I believe to be cheating, I flag/blacklist that user and simply don't play with that user afterwards. That by itself is enough for me to play against only honest players, but if you want to be more strict you could even submit the game session for review, and in case it is ruled there was cheating, the cheater is banned and every game you lost to the cheater is awarded to you.
I agree. To iterate, the main advantages I see are:

- Lower cost / kWh

- No need for Cobalt (and its controversial extraction)

- Better for the environment (from my basic understanding the materials are easier to obtain and less damaging)

- Longer cycle life (~5K vs 2K)

- No thermal runaway and less risk of catching fire

The main downside is that LFP batteries are heavier per kWh, but that should mostly be a non-issue for stationary storage.

The price of LFP batteries is dropping so fast. Consumers can buy a fully assembled LFP 12V 1300Wh battery for $399 on amazon [0]. Raw cells can be bought for 3-4x less from Chinese distributors.

I believe we're seeing yet another example of an ossified and hierarchal Chinese Communist Party struggling to maintain control over real or imagined internal threats.

Under the CCP, the "rights" pendulum swings wildly for society and the economy, alternating between openness and crackdowns. Some policies seem well thought out, and then you have edicts which seem impulsive and extreme with little regard to long-term consequences or the impact on China's people.

Politicians gaming the system by promising short term benefits at the cost of long term gain happens alls the time. But, it's not quite so cynical as you think.

First, understand that while people definitely want short term gain, they also want long term gain. Most all people are decent to some extent, and want long term success for their family, community, country, planet, etc. So, keep that in mind, and then let's examine this:

> it's absolutely mind-blowing that there isn't an entire line around the corner of politicians pushing for higher minimum wage, free education, free healthcare, basic income, etc

There is widespread disagreement over whether this is a good idea in the short or long term. And, keep in mind, voters do want long term success! So, when half the country thinks policies like these would cause a descent into socialist chaos, it's not surprising that politicians can't win on these platforms.

Nevertheless, we are constantly dealing with the ramifications of policies politicians crafted for short term gain. The mortgage interest rate deduction is a great example -- politicians subsidized homeownership, which was very popular, and we are left dealing with the drastic ramifications of a totally messed up housing system. Similarly, guaranteeing loans to help people go to college -- very popular in the short term, but has led to the ballooning of education costs.

The difference between these policies, and the ones you mentioned, is that they passed during a period of relative national unity, so it was much easier to get them through Congress.
If LFP is so good, why isn't it already used? Supply?
Yeah, but that's kind of my point - it's not easily calculated, so how can we say a senior easily provides an extra $40k. If we are saying the manager can make a lot because they're basically directing 10 people. If you have a security expert on a team of 10 people, should they be worth similar? After all, the tool is likely worthless if it's insecure, making all those efforts by others fruitless.

I guess I'm just skeptical and jaded based on my past experiences.
