I'm happier walking around in downtown Hong Kong, a place with much greater density of humanity than anywhere in the United States, than I am here in the US. I think you are denying the existence of fundamentally irrational US citizens who make things suck for everything else in a way citizens of some other countries simply don't.

> Calling it a left/right issue just diverts from the real problem

Alternatively, arguments like that divert from the "real" problem that half of the political discourse of this country is predicated on an "anti-press" sentiment that allows political actors to lie at will.

Yes, there have been abuses against journalists throughout history. And because of that, it's possible to take a long view that "journalism" as a whole will win, given at least a little protection. Society will survive the occasional corrupt leader. It always has.

But the current climate where republicans can simply ignore reporting by mainstream outlets and cite their own alternative media instead is somewhat unique, historically. Something like two thirds of republican voters simply... don't believe in the results of a recent election, because their thought leaders won't tell them straight what the results were. This seems like rather a more pressing threat to democracy.
In context it seems like that paragraph may be referring to Australia.
There are solutions for the free-rider effect, such as Pegovian customs duties.

But isn't the point moot, since all climate change solutions suffer from the same effect?
Absolutely, this.
We use custom logic. There are various ways to do it. One way to do it is to poll for the termination signal on the running instance, as part of your app say, and if you see termination coming, trigger a Lambda that supervises the bringup of an on-demand instance. For critical stuff you probably want a backup system that checks instance health and brings up a new instance if the old one is not available ... but you probably want that even if you always run on-demand.

Six or seven years ago, I was getting sick of Windows and wanted to switch to Mac – but the corporate standard was a Dell laptop, you had to go through a special exception process to get a Mac, and my manager told me he'd been trying for a bunch of his reports and had been struggling to get the exceptions approved – so I just bit the bullet, bought one out of my own pocket and used it as my main work machine.

And this wasn't some little three people shop. This was Oracle.
Maybe that's true but we haven't seen this happen in practice. Maybe we're just incredibly lucky but we're able to get on-demand instances to recover after spot termination.
Personally, I agree, but I can easily see how not being able to vote in person on election day due to religious obligations would run afoul of the Supreme Court.
I think both are true. Rust is poorly-suited to certain architectures, and empowers us to use other architectures. Rust's idioms take both its strengths and weaknesses into account.

It can make up for it in other ways, but in my experience, Rust is poorly-suited for Roguelike architecture specifically.

I didn't say we should be billions more. I said we could if we cared about our environment. I simply believe it's more effective to explain the danger we face and get people to really care, than to curb population growth.

The first reason is that it takes more energy to fight the desire to reproduce than to get people to live responsibly (at least not more than our environment can bear). Moreover, if you somehow get people to reproduce less than they desire (without causing to much frustration), you'll still have to educate them about the sustainability issues (aka our way of life). Why not directly address the way of life challenge, then?

People don't want many children when they know what's coming (your first child's future is in jeopardy, let's have more!). It's no coincidence that those who have/want the most children are the least aware of the biodiversity/climate problem.
I don't know if I totally agree with that though - while most parties in power around the world do take steps to cement that power though shady means it goes to a real extreme in the US - Canada certainly hasn't been free from election scandals[1]. Additionally, all sorts of authoritarians definitely do a lot worse than the US by wholly suspending elections or otherwise entirely rigging the system. That all said, for a democracy, America seems to be taking it to an extreme.

And, in America at least, these voter restrictions have always historically minimized the black vote. So I do think there is one group that has been consistently quite happy with voting limitations - they aren't the republican party, but they currently find refuge under its wings.

1. This last election has been (IMO fairly) decried as a waste of taxpayer money and a move that endangered the public simply to strengthen Liberal dominance (even if it failed hilariously).
Yes, he has done a really great job with Popular Information.

Still -- a few fine points on this:

- He's covering topics of national interest, which is very different than local when it comes to subscription numbers.

- To that point, "Twitter continues to be the biggest driver of newsletter signups." We've seen that it can be incredibly difficult for local news to trend on social media, namely because -- by definition -- it appeals to a limited audience.

- By being investigative only, it means he can choose what he is willing to cover. Investigative reporting is incredibly important, but it can be very different than replacing local newspapers -- while they can do investigative pieces as well, so much of what they do is covering the events around their coverage area. That takes a team of people, because you cannot be everywhere at once.

- He has a big name. True, he might not have been famous when he started, but the article itself points out that he was able to gain coverage in Wired because what he was doing was such a novelty. Now, the headline of the Substack you linked to doesn't even need to include the name of his newsletter, his own name is so well known.

The thing with Buddhism and perhaps any genuine spiritual practice is that the tools you acquire through working on yourself are powerful and useful, which is why secular people are drawn to yoga/meditation as "just" a practice.

The problem here is that by removing the spiritual side, you get the all the tools but none of the restraint required to wield them gracefully.
People buy cars rarely. Ferrari doesn't sell many cars. Ferrari has product market fit. The size of the market and the frequency of purchase are independent of product market fit.

Farmers have great product market fit. They sell a commodity and have little/no pricing power and thus earn pretty low returns on capital.

Product market fit is one thing. Market size is another. Frequency of purchase is another. Competitive advantage is another. Building a big successful business requires getting many things right, not just getting product market fit. The reason folks at YC (and others) harp on about product market fit is that they seem to see a lot of companies trying to grow before they have it - which is crazy. It doesn't mean product market fit is the only thing.
I think the arguments are much more complex than that. Some primary reasons:

- High inflation destroys savings. If someone is saving to buy a house or saving for their children's schooling, inflation destroys it if it's not invested in something.

- High inflation is rarely if ever matched by wages going up. Just look at the minimum wage, it hasn't matched inflation at all.

- Inflation penalizes anyone who isn't invested in things that hold their value versus the value of the money. Namely if you're rich enough to invest in stocks and bonds your money holds better value than if you live day to day or keep your money in a savings account. It's a form of regressive taxation.

- Inflation isn't bad at all for people who are in the financial system itself, namely the people who actually control the inflation rate.

- It frees the government to spend even more wastefully as they can use the inflation to erase the federal debt
Hunting MariaDB segfault bug with GDB and looking for the evil query
Spinoza's God is interesting not because it's a competitor to the Christian God or Thor or whatever, but because it's a rarely-explored aspect of Einstein's belief system (and confusion) about the origins of, well, everything.

Questions of religion vs science plague proper scientists too, Einstein among them, and nobody really has a clear answer about how to proceed. It's the sort of inquiry that is itself perhaps a precursor to eventual discoveries -- what is now "What happened before the Big Bang? Did someone create it?" may one day, if we're lucky, be answered by something like "It depends. Which big bang are you talking about?" But there's no harm in asking the questions... just jumping to conclusions.

> the universe is conscious, because our conscious minds are part of it

Getting some GEB vibes here (Is the anthill conscious?) but I do think that characterization is a bit off.

I tend to think of it from a different angle, considering philosophies about identity; namely, the laws of physics that make the universe tick outside of us are the same laws of physics that govern how we behave individually. There's undoubtedly some fuzzy boundary between what we consider "me" vs "not me", so it's not necessarily wrong to say that consciousness is a product of the universal laws and governed by them, while also simultaneously being something that isn't an inherent property of the entire universe.

In other words, it seems weird to say the universe is conscious (similar to how it might seem like a stretch of imagination to be talking to an anthill), but it seems perfectly reasonable to say that the mechanisms that make universe what it is give rise to consciousness, individuality and relative perspectives, despite all of these things being governed by fundamentally absolute laws.
In my patchy and incomplete experience this is true for Ubuntu but untrue for Debian. As long as I've followed the upgrade instructions I don't think I've ever had a Debian stable version bump fail. Whereas Ubuntu... yeah, backup and restore, because you're going to do it anyway.
Maybe they shouldn't have allowed plugin installation. Seems like a security risk.
I'll try to state the thought more simply.

"God" is a name we assign to the force behind the original, unexplained creation. Presently that would be the force behind the origin of this amazing universe, light, space. Maybe we push that envelope further in the future, but the boundary always exists. In our understanding there always is a 'first'. We have only the vaguest idea in a cosmic sense how that first came to be.

It's pretty neutral and sensible to call "everything" the creator, as Spinoza apparently did, cuz "nothing" sure didn't make the universe. And as a matter of definition, that would be God. What's so fascinating is where this thought exercise may lead. We are talking about everything, acting by law unknown, generating an impossible, unexplainable result. What then don't we know of everything and what possibilities does that raise, relative to its consciousness and intelligence on unimaginable scales of time and of space. I mean, are we gnats on God's ... I'd say eyeball but everything clearly is not human so ... presence?

I'm not sure how a serious person who considered the question openly could avoid these conclusions.
>you cannot show in any voting place but one assigned to you

There have been examples of this being gamed in the US. Gerrymander the county then force your political opponents into the least convenient polling place in the county.
I recall in the 2016 election here in NJ I went to vote (we are in a deep red town).

Despite the fact that I voted in multiple cycles in the same town and polling place and the ladies working at the polling station remain unchanged over the years, because my signature was slightly off from the ones in their records they started saying out loud "hey wait a minute this does not seem legit".

They started getting visibly angry and I started getting terrified because I am not white and there were a bunch of semi angry looking Trump people in the room with us.

They asked me for another form of ID so I showed them my drivers license and then they were like "OK all is well" and calmed down.

But still that experience of fear is what I imagine is going to prevent people from coming out to vote, especially in districts where Democrats haven't provided any meaningful reform when they have been in office(see rural areas getting killed under Clinton/Obama). If you combine an electorate that is already discouraged + the fear of altercation it spells doom in the long term.

This culture of fear is what the Republicans want and its what they need to hold on to power amid changing demographics. They will strip the government of every last thing they possibly can on their way out of relevance.

I won't ever give up my right to vote but would I have fought back if they continued pressing the issue? Would I accepted a provisional ballot that may result in my vote being thrown into the trash or becoming ineffective on election day? I don't really know.
Really isn't true either. Both an anthropologist and an architect would cringe at that claim.
That would be a great EPIC: Follow Truth, Love, And Freedom, if only we had a consensus of what they mean.
But then we need to be careful to make sure the requirements for getting an ID aren't too onerous.

Trying to get a "RealID" for a family member was a nightmare because apparently her ORIGINAL birth certificate from 70 years ago was not acceptable to the asshole behind the desk at the DMV. So we had to get a certified copy from the county this person was born in that bore some seal or stamp the clerk wanted.

Guess who had lost decades worth of birth records, thus requiring us to pay for a special search process that took weeks?

An expensive, time-consuming nightmare start to finish.

There are people out there who have no idea where they were born because their parents didn't tell them, people whose parents held their birth certificates hostage for whatever reason, etc. Lots of people who rent and share an apartment might not have a single utility bill in their name. "Just give us a bank bill" someone says. Welllll in getting all frothy about terrorism we now demand banks verify the identity of their customers using...a government issued ID. The whole thing gets cyclical very quickly.
I see. Furthermore, there is an admonishment:

IMPORTANT: Never fill any tire to more than 90% full. More solution could damage tire.

This entire thread is a great microcosm of how difficult it actually is to talk precisely and intelligibly about "hacking", permissions, intended access, etc!
Fair enough. I have not found that to be true in C/C++, which is my main point of comparison. For very simple cases it's generally easier to write a few lines to a text file, maybe with some whitespace separators in the lines, than to use an "real" format.

For JS and Python, JSON.stringify/parse and json.loads/dumps are a step up, but you still end up with an untyped mess with no schema validation, which makes them only halfway solutions to me. I'm a static typing guy at heart, sue me.
They were suggesting Lumber Price will be sky high for the foreseeable future. But then it crashed, just like any commodities.

> The first example I'd call "ballot stuffing"--it's really a catchall term for shenanigans around turning the actual returned ballots into an official count. This even would cover things like poor ballot design (e.g., butterfly ballots in Florida's elections) that aren't strictly speaking fraud

You can call it ballot stuffing, but you are inventing your own definition when you do that.

"Ballot stuffing or ballot box stuffing is a form of electoral fraud in which a greater number of ballots are cast than the number of people who legitimately voted. The term refers generally to the act of casting illegal votes or submitting more than one ballot per voter when only one ballot per voter is permitted." [1]

> The latter example is a fourth category of electoral shenanigans that I'd loosely term voter intimidation; essentially any mechanism by which people are dissuaded from casting a ballot in the first place, which I omitted because most of this category is unfortunately legal.

That is absolutely not voter intimidation. I had my registration changed by someone who did this, so I am well aware of what happens here. I was not intimidated. [2] Voter intimidation is a federal crime and defined in the Civil Rigts Act and the Hatch Act.

> A more specific look at how to fix an election might dive into the details more, but grouping them in one category doesn't really affect the analysis here.

It absolutely does affect the analysis. You should be able to see that, since I pointed out two specific threats that your categories didn't cover. There are more, too. You cannot properly model threats unless you identify the actors, the vulnerability, how the vulnerability can get exploited, and some sort of analysis. You need to create a model of risks, not just pronounce "There are basically three kinds of voter fraud" using an incorrect, incomplete list. If you don't model risks, how do you know your categories are correct? THat's like when Oracle called itself, "Unbreakable". [3] [4]

It has powered Deno's op-layer since 1.9 (https://deno.com/blog/v1.9#faster-calls-into-rust-with-serde...) and has enabled significant improvements in opcall overhead (close to 100x) whilst also simplifying said op-layer.

> refuse to accept college IDs as valid for voting, even those issued by the state government

What state governments issue a college ID? It’s been a while for me but I don’t recall much evidence required for me to get a college ID and even though I went to a public state university, it definitely was not government issued. Nobody would have accepted it as proof of identity besides the college, certainly not for voting
Please explain in what sense my explanation simplifies the problem and what would need to be changed to what I propose to make it better. Just saying that "it is not that simple" without saying where I'm wrong doesn't help me better my ways. In short I propose to solve problems instead of meditating on them while retreating from the world stage. What is missing?
Yeah I don’t know why you would try to write your own textbased format. GSON and Jackson have been around for over a decade in Java, and equivalents in other languages. Unless you are in some perf critical application, a library is almost always better for this problem.
Do you think that is a valid metaphor?

Revolve the entire setup around the axis perpendicular to the slit and you will have a very accurate representation of how a camera-lens system works.

The ratio between distance and focal length only works if the focal lengths are equivalent across the two cameras. Otherwise it doesn't work. That's to say, a 70mm f/2.8 has the same depth of field as a 35mm 1.4 lens if the second is on a camera with 2x crop factor.

Try it out, crop the image of your 70mm lens at f/2.8 and compare it to the image of your 35mm f/1.4 lens and you will get exactly the same image with the same blur (assuming the lenses are exactly 70mm and 35mm at the focus setting, which is not guaranteed due to focus breathing and manufacturers rounding off their focal lengths)
