I get where you're coming from with the metaphor, but I see these types of comparisons a lot when talking about computing "fundamentals" and they've never really felt right to me.

Even though pilots may know the basics of lift and drag, they have abstractions over those things (tools, processes) to management. That really isn't any different than saying "I get what/why bit manipulation, but have never needed it".

Also - you _can_ learn fundamentals on the fly in software dev. Sure, not everyone has the drive to, but you can't reasonably google "how does lift/drag work" as a pilot who is flying the plane :)
> Esperanto is a hobby language for upper-middle class people in developed countries.

I wonder what gave you such an impression of Esperanto. My personal experience of Esperanto is quite different.

I started to casually self-learn Esperanto about one year ago as my second foreign language apart from English. After about half a year, I was confident enough to join online Esperanto communities and it gave me a surprisingly much more diverse experience than any community I had encountered on the Internet.

For example, in an online chat group, active users mainly come from US, South America, and Russia. As an person from East Asia, there is little chance for me to get in touch with the latter two groups otherwise. And there are often new users from South America who speak only Spanish and Esperanto.

I myself do not identify as a upper-middle class person, and I don't know enough to assess other Esperanto speakers' class status.

The impression of Esperanto speakers being upper-middle class may come from the fact people learn Esperanto as a hobby. But people not in the upper-middle class can have other hobbies, why is Esperanto different? It doesn't come with the many benefits that people may expect from learning a "practical" language, but it takes significantly less effort. I'd say it's about as hard as learning a new instrument. So it is not that exclusive to only upper-middle class people.

After one year of casual learning, I am now able to contribute to the Common Voice project in Esperanto (175 recordings and 123 validations) and I actually use it as a source of learning material.

The article and comments together are great, because all at once I have a newfound respect for the complexity of bowling (from the cores to the oil patterns) and yet am bolstered in the feeling that there is something inherently casual about it, mostly because - and I cannot get over this - I had never even considered the possibility of _scented balls_.

That seems like a weird joke, and yet many of these highly engineered and fairly expensive balls seem to not only be scented, but, for some, to come in a choice of scents (matching their colours to some degree).

Residency, at least for overseas tax purposes, generally is presumed to transfer whenever (and wherever) you spend 180 days of a year somewhere, so you by definition can't have multiple residencies (unlike nationalities); you can have residency rights/permits in multiple places, but once you become resident somewhere you cease to be resident at your previous country of residence.

That's an oversimplification, but it doesn't hurt as far as sympathies.

My actual issue is more along the lines of caveat emptor. People bought junk bonds in a company that then went bankrupt. That means they're going to be in court trying to recover money, and there's a lot of risk there about what they might or might not recover.

To the extent that the legal resolution was unprecedented... so was the top carmaker entering bankruptcy with all of those employees and pensions on their books. Biggest bankruptcy of that sort since the depression. Precedent isn't a suicide pact, when things get weird then people can adapt.
I'm an Australian citizen who has lived in the US for fifteen years.

This law (and others) say that if I want to travel to see my elderly parents in Australia I have to:

1. be fully vaccinated (I am, have been since December) - not too unreasonable
2. quarantine upon my arrival for two weeks (inconvenient, but not unreasonable - unless they are on their deathbed, gravely ill, etc.)

and adds this:

3. am prevented from leaving Australia unless I "prove" that I have permanent residence elsewhere (which makes little sense because as an Australian citizen, whether I do or don't, I'm still entitled, subject to points 1 and 2 above, to return at any time - for the same reason that Australia won't release my superannuation (401k-ish kinda thing) regardless of my residence elsewhere, "because as a citizen, I am entitled to return at any time, so that money needs to stay until the appropriate time").)

Note that they talk about "obtaining exemptions", but there are multiple examples, including one in this article, where the government has stated "charter a plane for your trip, do not fly commercial" in order to obtain the exemption. Which makes one rule for the rich (and you have to be rich to charter a plane in general - even more so when most countries, with the exception of New Zealand, are at least an eight hour jet flight away, so this is not so much "charter a Cessna" as "charter a G450 or Global 6000" - hint, those aircraft are in the _five digit per flight hour_ charter range - Melbourne to LAX is probably a $100,000 flight, at best.
The fact that more people are in the hospital in Florida right now than at any time in the last two years would seem to disprove any speculation of here immunity.

But ultimately, people and businesses invest money into politics because they expect a return. The government taking less of your money (or the government giving you money in the form of business) are that return. And there are way too many dark routes to funnel money into politics without leaving a trail or disclosure.

And that action is? Government seizes control of any property that is on these interfaces and kicks the people out of their homes? Or maybe the less harsh: government buys all these properties with eminent domain, kicks people off and lets the lands go fallow?

The reality of the situation is far more complex as is the solution.

If we assume everyone has been infected? Why would we assume that? The estimates I've seen (including asymptomatic) are around 1/3 infected. The source you cited is from 2020, so it doesn't tell us much about today.
I guess I should clear up: Amazon isn't doing any type of automatic file-scanning for anything being uploaded to S3, or feeding md5/sha1/sha256sums to some 3rd party service automatically for everything that touches S3.

If they get a subpoena and then maybe send some kind of file list/checksums they've been required to hand over to some 3rd party / government? That's possible, but an entirely different situation.
They are completely different things.

People can sue each other for things that are not crimes, and you can go to criminal court over things you can't be sued for. Qualified immunity has no bearing on criminal proceedings. For example, if George Floyd's estate sued Chauvin directly I wouldn't be surprised if they lost because of QI, even though Chauvin was charged and convicted for murder.

Covid patients were not allowed on board the ship. This was reported at the time.

On top of its strict rules preventing people infected with the virus from coming on board, the Navy is also refusing to treat a host of other conditions. Guidelines disseminated to hospitals included a list of 49 medical conditions that would exclude a patient from admittance to the ship.

Ambulances cannot take patients directly to the Comfort; they must first deliver patients to a city hospital for a lengthy evaluation — including a test for the virus — and then pick them up again for transport to the ship.

You can experience something very close to it with AROS, which is free both as in speech/beer, can be used either native stand alone or hosted, that is, as process under other operating systems without requiring any installation. There's also an ARM port which runs native on the Raspberry PI or hosted under Android devices.

iCloud needs to allow people to restore backups on a new iPhone after losing their old one.

You can setup secure encrypted backups, but the customer losing the key means losing the back so that’s not what consumer focused companies are going to do. In other words any backup service that doesn’t have big warnings that losing your key loses your backup means they can read your data.
Yea thanks for clearing that up. The native people don't count.
> So you are still sticking to the opinion, that you will put in detention a lateral thinker ...While a bank robber (with violence ) will be painting the community center ?

I've never held the opinion that lateral thinkers should be put into detention. I hold the opinion that repeat offenders should have to deal with increasingly harsh punishment. All I think about "Querdenker"s is that these people are more likely to run afoul the rules and are more likely to end up in such a situation.
How many have been infected twice?
That seems like the stupidest lottery to enter into however.

Even people without an "underlying health condition" have died. And even those who haven't died are experiencing long term complications from having had COVID.

So you can either hope you don't have a hard time with COVID if you catch it. Or you can drastically reduce your chances of having a hard time and of catching it all by just taking a couple minutes out of your day to get vaccinated.

Sorry, while I do like to gamble in general, if the penalties include death and/or permanent disability, I'm going with the option that makes that less likely. Which is the vaccine.
I was an American citizen living in Luxembourg for 3 years around 2015.

I agree - many banks did not want to let me open an account, and when BNP Paribas said they work with Americans it was a huge ordeal to open the account.

However, as a salaried employee, I did not struggle with the taxes. The IRS form was very straightforward and after deductions I didnt owe any US taxes (I made just over the equivalent of $100k USD).

IIRC the theory is that you determine your tax liability if you had made all your income in the US and you subtract the liability you incurred by your foreign tax residence. You pay the difference but only after you cross some income threshold. If you are living somewhere that 'pays more in taxes' then you wont owe anything to the US.

I can 100% understand why very wealthy people hate this system, but as a software dev making a modest living it was not onerous or unfair or difficult to manage.

[edit] Did explain short term CA in abstract. And regarding my sweeping generalizations, well, I cannot do without (it's about math, too, see last remark of this paragraph). You're right, there's much fighting over interpretations of holy books' content and cultural norms, but anyhow a base text is made available. Regarding symmetry as beauty and good deeds, I had my headache about including it, but as mutual reciprocity/respect of citizens, that has some validity. The real reason, though, I included symmetry is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence_relation : Symmetry is the second relation. I am not going abstract without a reason. In principle #1, you see THE foundation of math.

* Uniting humanities and natural sciences by the principle of reflection
#+BEGIN_SRC
One single root of natural sciences and humanities: reflection.
#+END_SRC
See Principle #1 below.

* How to unite and manage the world by a natural/logical religion

abstract

No other re-ligion (lit. "back-binding" [one etymological analysis of the word /religion/] to some ideas to rely on for humans) is necessary for a society, but only reasoned about principles (prin-ciple: the thing to grasp first , primus+capere): reflection, symmetry, cooperative construction (by too many Central Authorities [too-many-CAs] -> only 1 Central Authority [1CA]; see Cultural Principle below).

Evolved religions like Christianity also abide to following principles. Their followers do:
1. think/reflect about the world (our thinking: one instance of reflection)
2. they are in search of beauty, of beautiful/good actions/deeds (symmetry (1)) to form a sustainable society
3. they try to establish one text, one book, as core of their religion: an instance of a CA (among other religions with their corresponding CAs)

(1) Seems like rather a far fetched argument, but who is not in search of beauty? The necessary association of beauty with symmetry anyhow is clearly shown in arts education about proportions, geometries of the human face or body. Good deeds and mutual respect/reciprocity of citizens, showing off characteristics of symmetry, too?!

Uncovering an abstract core of every human religion is our goal here for the betterment of education and world management. (Respect for every evolved religion is granted, but having different people adhering to different religions is not a good way to start thinking about a unity of humanity -- despite the potential of tolerance in various religions.)

The priciples reflection, symmetry, and cooperative construction are elaborated below.
far from it https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#national-lab
So far 55% or so have been fully vaccinated. 83 million, or 25% of the population, is estimated by the CDC to have been infected. I would guess we are getting fairly close to 70%, but it's hard to say what the overlap between those two numbers is. If it's really as contagious as they say, then it's only a matter of time before we hit 80%. The issue will then be the distribution by location and how long the protection lasts.
INTERESTING. I've been using this on the iPad for a couple years, how did the Mac version escape me…
Yes, but with better haircuts.
I think it is reasonable to look at excess death counts since the number of deaths in any given week can be predicted with reasonable accuracy statistically. So assuming most excess deaths are due to COVID and not other causes (likely more actually are since deaths for things like Flu and car crashes were down this year due to social distancing):

Anywhere from 6,000 to 30,000 deaths a WEEK in the US alone between May 2020 and May 2021 [1]

Or in other words, enough to put it as the third leading cause of death globally[2] and the NUMBER TWO cause in the United States.

Now some people can and will argue that COVID deaths are misattributed because of co-morbities. However, the excess death statistics pretty clearly suggest that to not be the case.

[1] https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm

I only did a few minutes of searching so I'm not sure how accurate thinkglobalhealth.org but I trust the CDC numbers quite a bit.
