Diversity happened. Civic nationalism empirically doesn't work [1]. Societies need some level of individual sacrifice for the group to prosper over the long term, and diversity kills the impulse to do that. Favoring the ingroup over the outgroup is a stable state for groups, starting from ants and ending with humans. Trying to eradicate those impulses was perhaps noble, but ended in utter failure. Hapless attempts at civic nationalism collapsed under assault from much stronger ethnic/racial and/or religious forces.

I can see this changing if intelligent aliens turn out to exist, but until then, homogeneous countries (China is >90% Han) are going to continue winning over the West, increasingly mired in racial and religious strife.

In addition to aliens, if necessary technology arrives, the ingroups could conceivably coalesce into basic humans vs transhumans, or perhaps humans vs independent ai beings, but that's pure scifi at this point.

I guess even that kind of surprises me, unless Columbus is particularly expensive, but I suppose that sort of justifies the author's point. Should there be full houses on AirBnB for multiple weeks at a rate very favourable compared to a typical mortage?

Weather forecasting today is also much better than it was in the 1970s. The Blizzard of '78 in especially the Boston area would still be bad and the city might even still be largely shut down for a bit, but you probably wouldn't have the spectacle of mass evacuation from cars on Route 128 because the highway had literally ground to a complete halt.

I don't think it's more likely. The accusation seems to be that Facebook emphasizes views and not clicks (according to typical definitions) to paint a specific picture. I wouldn't put anything past Facebook, but this is actually painting a picture of the users that is more interesting and opposite than the author wants to admit. Users seem to preferentially click on specific content even though Facebook is showing them a different distribution. I haven't seen the data myself, but this does not sound like a recommendation echo-chamber...
The plight of miners is one of the obvious go-tos when we try to explain why government must act to regulate industry. One day a friend pointed out something interesting - that those jobs were taken on by the free choice of the individuals working them.

What should be done when an individual or group offers a job with poor conditions and wages? Presumably if the job is so bad that noone wants it, noone will take it. If someone does want it, and the two parties mutually agree to the conditions, it is not our business to intervene, other than to keep the peace.

It is not the role of government to dictate working conditions or any other terms of employment that are mutually agreed upon by those involved. If there is a disagreement, the interested parties should seek an agreement, and if none can be reached, part ways. Physical violence may not be used to pressure either side to capitulate to the desires of the other. Employers, as with anyone, are to be held accountable for injuries or death resulting from their negligence or misconduct.

Government must give neither labor nor employers special rules or treatment. Employers, as individuals, must be free to hire or release anyone they choose. Individual workers must be free act collectively - or not - and to offer their labor under any terms they choose. Neither side may use physical violence to achieve their ends.

It is indeed true that mining jobs were and are often disrespectful to the human dignity and wellbeing of the workers. Yet, workers seek out these jobs and offer their labor voluntarily. Consentual agreements are not exploitation. If a person is dissatisfied with their job, it is their responsibility to remove themselves from it.

It is also true that poor people are under more economic pressure to take on bad jobs. What should be done? Can we mandate that only safe and well-paying jobs will be offered? We could try, and that choice would inevitably exascerbate the poverty of those people by reducing the availability of employment to them. Further, they would be exposed to even more dangerous and low-paying illegal work.

In the end, the principle of human freedom offers reliable guidance.

Ansible is abysmal. I don't know why anyone still chooses it. It's a mess of yaml and what feels like a million yaml files that is always extremely hard to follow. Honestly writing some python, or bash is a lot easier to follow, read, and understand. The only thing it has going for it is the inventory system. I wish ansible would die already.

The tips mentioned in the article are helpful, but still beyond the initial development of roles, maintaining roles is a pain no one can alleviate. It is the perl of automation. I wish people would stop using it. I've yet to start a job where people haven't regretted going towards ansible.
Chinese companies are extensions of the state.

Some are, some aren't. The current China "antitrust" flap is over ones that got really big without being extensions of the state, such as Tencent and Ant Financial. The classic big ones, such as Baowu (steel), Cosco (shipping), and China Railway Group (obvious), are directly state-owned. There are also large companies owned by provinces, regions, and cities. Most small and medium sized companies, though, are not state-owned. State ownership of almost everything was tried during the Mao era, and it didn't work.

The CCP insists on being the only major center of power in China. They're willing to tolerate capitalism until it generates companies big enough to push back. Those get taken over or converted to state ownership.
There's the old saying: time in the market is better than timing the market. If you're really not into doing tons of research to pick individual stocks then just buy ETFs and index funds. You'll do well. Even if you're into the research and stuff, it's probably good to hedge some that way. And for all those conservative investors I offer a new saying: buy low, buy high, sell even you're 65.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t transparent pigments only change light color by allowing certain wavelengths of light to pass through them? That would mean the glaze in question here is only changing the color of the light by blocking out a majority of the light to make the distribution more uniform. These pigments can’t actually change the wavelength of light emitted. That would mean this is making the LED way less efficient (in terms of lumens per watt), but I do applaud the low cost thinking!
That point will like be arrived at within 500--900 million years through increases in solar luminosity, increased weathering, slowed plate tectonics, and loss of the Earth's oceans.

Speaking for myself I’m happy that many millions of people got lifted out of crushing poverty in Asia. I think it’s a good thing that the economy in the PRC started producing fewer famines and more of a middle class.

The part I’m less happy about is whatever point the Western economies began working less well for most people in them.

Even serious economists have trouble being rigorous about this sort of thing, so I won’t even try. But I don’t think I’m the only one with a queasy feeling that Eastern elites seem to be admitting more people to the middle class while Western elites seem to be pushing people out of it. In spite of there being powerhouse economies in both systems.

People love to nitpick this stuff to pimp whatever dumbass Ayn Rand thing, but people outside the elite in the West seem to be doing worse over time, and that is not how you get an economy that is and feels fair, that’s not how you make sure the talent rises to the top, that’s not how you get a financial system that isn’t a ripoff, that’s not how you get a government that gets shit done, that’s not how you get a military that buys good weapon systems at a compelling price point.

That’s not how you win.

I didn't grow up in Boston but spent a lot of time sailing (and accordingly, a decent amount swimming) in the Charles River Basin in the past several years (go Tech Sailing!). Only once ever had a bad experience - got terribly sick for 24 hrs after a windy windsurfing day where I was in the water more than I was on the board. I was told this was "river fever" and it happens from time to time! Otherwise a great body of water.

The days the Charles is unswimmable is a few hot summer days after rainstorms (and in the winters when it freezes up!). In the summer the water is warm enough and the runoff after storms brings in enough nutrients from the city that cyanobacteria grow like crazy and create a paralysis risk. On these days the Boston DCR does a pretty good job making sure everyone knows to stay dry for the day.

I recently rented an airbnb in France. The place straight up lied about its amenities. But because those lies sent me scrambling for two days to purchase the things rhe space was lacking I didn't report it until my 3rd day ( on a one month stay and I brought it up with the host on the first day)

Airbnbs response: tough luck. You only have 1 day to report if the host lies. After that, it doesn't matter how much they lied, it's your responsibility.

And it's not worth the credit card challenge if you are a frequent traveler because you will get banned from the platform and they have an almost total monopoly on a certain type of property.

Thanks for stranding me in a foreign country where I had no support network airbnb.
I think people are misunderstanding what I am claiming.

I am not saying that isn't the right word. The problem is that people are so enthusiastic about declaring it as genocide, without a single qualification, and no concern about the consequences in terms of using it as "justification" for a global war.

It's horrible what they are doing. But the problem is people are just saying "yep, they are evil" and are going to consent to any and all types of mass killing against the Chinese on that basis. Similarly the Chinese will find things Americans have done, say they are all evil, and proceed with the mass killing attempts (war) with a clear conscience.
Your point about cost-to-adjust resonated with me. What I’ve found is that designing for software successfully existing over time implies giving up control and instead going up to a meta-level, enabling sound methods of development to evolve—as opposed to defining specific processes, architecture and implementation, which in longer term leads to a situation in which whenever lead developer has not enough time (or is replaced) the software stops living. Something about infinite games in Carse’s and building worlds in Ian Cheng’s terminology.

To your footnote, I’ve read that the one-child policy in China was not strictly enforced outside of major cities, and resulted in many children born in the countryside essentially “outside of the system”, not having access to education or healthcare… I wonder how much of it is true.

You seem to be ignoring all of the people who are posting here saying that their older MBPs are running Big Sur without performance impact. Obviously something is going on on those machines that are having performance issues, but it’s certainly not planned obsolescence or inevitable. There may some shared situation that is the cause for just those machines or they may each have their own issues causing a similar impact. Hard to tell without specifics.
You can't speculate as to China's outcome in the 21st century, based on what its rulers may have thought in the 19th century, on an alt-historical timeline that skipped the opium wars, and the century of occupation, civil war, war, and some more civil war.

I mean, you can, but your speculation is as good as anyone else's.

In the late 19th century, Russia still had serfs, and Americans practiced chattel slavery. By the mid 20th century, both of those countries built the atomic bomb. A century is a very long time to make accurate alt-historic predictions about.

This won't be a war. This will be a military showing up and declaring, "this territory is ours" when the established government leadership flees.

This is effectively what the Taliban did. But since you struggle with that example, how about looking at Russia's take over of Crimea in 2014?

My prediction is, there will be widespread protests in Taiwan, which Chinese sleeper agents will attempt to turn violent. Then Chinese commandos storm the presidential building taking Tsai Ing-wen and her cabinet hostage, the military will be ordered to stand down. Then the subsequent riots will be crushed.

We've been using the git module to pull down the desired version of the repo and then using synchronize to copy it over. That could be used to overwrite whatever was previously being copied from the git repo. So, can you explain where that doesn't work for a git based deployment? It's a pattern we use a lot. (A slight tangent though, systemd-tmpfiles can ruin your day if it partially deletes the repo, because that makes the git module crap out.)

Local news is dying (and being monopolized by the Sinclair group), and being replaced by online news.

> Flatpak's primary goal is to distribute user software, so most/all of the work is done to deliver that use-case.

Sometimes user software needs higher level privileges. I don't see why that should exclude it from consideration.

> It's not a limitation of Flatpak - at least not a conceptual limitation. It's possible, it just has to be done by someone.

Flatpak has been around for 5 years, and apparently there are still so many unfinished high-priority things with it that I can expect to wait at least 5 more to see this simple use case addressed?

> If the aim is to make sandboxing as easy as possible, that doesn't mean it will be easy to _not_ sandbox.

I don't follow the logic here. The default state of applications on Linux is that they are not sandboxed. If flatpak did nothing but download and run binaries with appropriate library mappings it would not be sandboxed at all. The sandboxing is something that has to be added on top. When looking for information on how flatpak actually works I find only very obtuse documentation, but nearest I can figure it uses Linux's various namespaces, which shouldn't prevent CAP_NET_RAW from being used as far as I'm aware.

> I'm not sure if I catch your drift.

I was saying the Wireshark flatpak was nigh-useless. Not flatpak in general.

> US workers can't pay other US workers.

That is just logically false. It's not even a question of measurement, it is false by definition. The income paid to produce is by definition always sufficient to purchase the output that has been produced. But remember that income paid to the factors of production includes both labor and capital income, because both the owners of capital and the suppliers of labor purchase the products that are created by the combining of labor and capital to produce output.

What is unsustainable is running persistent trade deficits overseas. E.g. by allowing foreign capital inflows, we have allowed the foreign sector to distort prices in an unsustainable manner.

> I would expect the Smithsonian to have a better grasp of history.

It might be good to adjust that expectation.

The Smithsonian's interest in these flights was political. The reputation of the Smithsonian had suffered greatly in 1903 when Langley's Aerodrome failed to fly. This made it more difficult to obtain funding, which limited its growth and effectiveness as a scientific organization. The current Secretary, Charles Walcott, felt that the best way to repair this reputation was the show the Aerodrome could have flown; the time and money spent on it had not been wasted.

The risks involved in going up against a nuclear power are very high, the costs involved (both monetary and in lives) would be high, and success isn't guaranteed.

I could well imagine Biden consulting with his military advisors and coming to the conclusion that it just isn't worth it. We saw a similar thing play out with Obama and Crimea.

The winning strategy for the U.S. right now seems to be to convince China we would defend Taiwan so they don't attempt an invasion in the first place. But that's hard to do when it looks like the U.S. has pretty compelling reasons to stay out of it if it came to that.

(This is all assuming that Taiwan asks for our help. I don't know why they wouldn't, but I feel like it's an important caveat that we shouldn't involve ourselves in conflicts we aren't invited into by at least one party.)
