It's what Yuri Bezmenov refereed to as useful idiots. Divide and conquer has been used by those in power to rule over the constituents for centuries.

The establishment realized that the best way to prevent people from looking at the real enemy (elite establishment) was to keep them infighting and the best way to do that is to divide people into as many oppressor oppressed buckets as possible and let them fight each other.

So now we have people not just fighting about rich vs poor, now it's based on race, sex, sexual preference, ethnicity etc. While we keep fighting each other, the corporations and establishment elites keep getting richer and more powerful, meanwhile our lives keep getting more and more miserable.

This identity politics is also used by corporations and politicians to prevent and deflect blame. You want your $2000 you were promised? You want the $15 minimum wage or medicare for all you were promised? You want to stop forever wars or want to hold Wall Street accountable? You want businesses to open up and stop covid fear mongering? You want a better infrastructure bill or stop oil pipelines?

You are a sexist for speaking against the first female treasury secretary (paid off by Wall Street and $800G by Robinhood hedge fund), racist for speaking against the first black secretary of defence (Raytheon board seat), first trans health minister (took out her own mother while forcing covid patients into nursing homes), inciting violence against AOC for "force the vote", poor uneducated deplorable for wanting $15 minimum wage, racist for speaking against the first Native American interior secretary, "attacking science" for criticizing Fauci, "not black" if you don't vote for Biden, antisemitic if you criticize Israel or islamaphobic if you criticze Palestine. Oh and Russia!!!

Put all the minority pawns in powerful positions and then exploit them for any criticism that comes your way while you do evil things. It's an evil yet genius plan to use identity politics and people are too afraid to speak up or too blind to see through it.
Ah yes, the man who believed that the human struggle was a deterministic process of synthesis crashing into antithesis over and over again, with each new generation overturning the prior and then regressing back a bit, building from small tribes to modern civilization. A process of continual improvement that, according to Hegel, can be logically derived from first principles so that the arc of civilization just happens to culminate in the greatest accomplishment of reason understanding itself: the reformed Prussian state of 1807.
> It would be really annoying if we always had to add quotes for string args when we're typing at the terminal

With bash (and I suspect with every other popular shells out there), it actually means something different. In your second example, if you don't use quotes, the shell will do the extensions, but if you do, the process will have to do it (and in the case of ls, it cannot).

In some case it's good to have the shell taking care of it, but sometimes (eg, when using 'find') it's not.
I agree the cause can be made to go away overnight. However the impact of doing the wrong thing could be disastrous.

In Australia we have a housing bubble, but the problem is woven very deep. Our tax system favours property investments. Our top tax rate (45%) kicks in at extremely low levels of income compared to globally ($180,000 AUD which is around $135,000 USD). The system provides all kinds of tax deductions to investment property owners, and ways of making paper losses to offset income tax.

Much of our economic activity is banking, retail and construction. Much of which is fuelled by the churn in property with ever increasing prices. This economic cycle kept Australia out of recession until Covid hit. Now that the average house is over $500,000 AUD, we have large swaths of the younger population leveraged to their eyeballs in debt at a 2% interest rate. If housing prices fall or interest rates rise there will be a collapse, and a good chance of an extended recession we have avoided.

The best case is they slowly the market down, we have a moderate rate of inflation which allows the real value of houses to drop. At the same time reduce the tax benefits to property investment.

Unfortunately this won't happen. The political class knows that the median voter is a home owner, and its in their interests for housing prices to keep rising. They are just hoping that it can keep going until after they are finished. Totally not jaded about not being able to afford a house in my late 30s due to being wiped out in the 2008 GFC and then starting a family.
House flippers are notorious for cosmetic upgrades that maximize their profit, not upgrades that maximize quality.
It would be a copy. You might choose to give it the original's property, on the assumption that the original would have wanted that, or on the basis of a written will that actually says so. Then, the copy could carry on as if it were the original.

And, in fact, we do that continuously. Every day you wake up believing yourself to be the person who went to bed the night before. It is close enough.
In southwest Montana where I live. Neighbors sold their house to move into a camper parked on a relative's land where they plan to ride out the construction material supply chain restrictions then build another house. This is one of four similar stories from people I know directly.
>> And I say this as someone who views many Israeli state and foreign policy actions as being highly suspect.

It's a shame that this even has to be disclaimed to point out antisemitism. If he made a claim that Chinese students were pawns of the CCP and had to be "targeted", no one would need to say "and I don't support CCP policies" to make a credible allegation of racism.
> There's mostly not a reason why we couldn't have a single API other than politics.

If you follow Apple's logic, this is totally wrong. Everything has to be integrated in order to achieve the best possible experience, and public APIs would be a bottleneck that make things inflexible for the company that tries to exploit the technology.
Do you have any specific examples of Kubernetes interfering with this contract? I've not heard of this kind of behaviour before.
There have been a number of Orca attacks on yachts in the Mediterranean and the Gulf of Cadiz/Portugal area recently.

Perhaps they're hungry. Perhaps they're pissed. No one knows.

Historically, orca attacks on humans - outside of captivity - have been very rare.
I am fairly confident that the average user understands that their YouTube, FB, Insta etc usage is funded by targeted ads and doesn't really care. Sure they might not understand the full extent of the targeting but let them learn about factory farming, forced labour, the prison/military industrial complex and many other evils first. Maybe with information campaigns run via targeted ads :)
The Tragedy of US Government’s Ban on Human Organ Sales
I'm working on a sort-of language as a side project and have fallen down many of the same rabbit holes that you have. I don't think questions are one of the key features that make language special because in the language I'm working on questions are an emergent property.

There are two structural words in my language, "propose" and "tell". From these words you can build complicated ideas such as lying ("I propose to you: you propose to him: [malicious plan]. [real plan]."). Asking a question can be done with "I propose you tell me ...". Instead of saying "I think", you say something like "I tell myself".

The feature of language that seems the most surprisingly powerful is placeholder words. The words like "someone", "somewhere", "somehow". I call these the entropy words because they are the words for the information you don't have. They represent sets of possible things rather than a literal specific thing.

"someone moved to Silessia".

In fact you can generally substitute a set of things anywhere you would use a literal thing. Any set will do. For example

"John/George/Ringo/Paul played in the Beatles."

Adjectives can be understood as just specifying a set using set-builder notation. For example "short man" is "{x in Men such that short(x)}".

Just from set builder notation, first order logic comes along for free. I originally thought my language would need logic words, but this is not the case.
At a minimum, the real estate agent manages coordination. Good agents are familiar with the local ordinances and can save you time and hassle (a city I once lived in insisted that homes had to have a city inspector go through prior to listing, and neither I nor my agent knew until we found out from a buyer's agent).

Great agents will organize staging, professional photos (some companies put up "3d" walkthroughs on their websites), open houses, advertising, recommend investing in remodelling to list at higher prices (or when to pass on those things depending on the local market).

Sometimes, paying an agent more than makes up for the cost by getting a better sale price. Other times, it is kinda pointless.

(If you didnt know, seller customarily pays for both agents as well in the US).
The real problem here is that our OSes do not let us control the outgoing connections from software that we use. Device drivers should not have network access, unless they are drivers for network devices. The OS should enforce an allowlist for each application with the network names/protocols/ports it is allowed to use. Users should have control over this allow-list. The OS should require the user to review the allow-list before they can use a newly installed program.

Software must install and work properly even when the user restricts its network access. When software fails to do so, the OS maker should not sign the software or allow it to market itself as "OS-compatible".

We cannot depend on good intentions. Good quality of life requires accountability for all.

It's very easy to install Chrome on a linux box and launch it with a whitelisted extension. You can run Xorg using the dummy driver and get a full Chrome instance (i.e. not headless). You can even enable the DevTools API programmatically. I don't see how this would be detectable, and probably a lot safer than downloading a random browser package from an unknown developer.

A socialist would argue that socialism is by definition democratic, and the fact that (eg) the USSR was totalitarian from the get-go means that it was never socialist. After all, a socialist society is definitionally one where power rests in the hands of the working class, and that was certainly not the case in the USSR.

Now, you could argue that, per this definition, no socialist society is possible. But that's not the argument you're making. You're arguing that what socialists actually want, despite whatever they say, is Soviet-style totalitarianism, because the USSR called itself socialist. Which is not a sound argument.
When war criminals like Bush, Cheney, Lincoln Project neocons and even the Flint Governor who knowingly poisoned his people all support the ""left"", one would think people would wake up to what's happening.

What, exactly? "Racism" and it's very existence, or specifically it's effect on the topic at hand
?

You haven't really established what it is you are arguing, let alone any of the facts/research specific you allude to, specific to that argument.

And no, soft science subjects like this are not like hard-science topics like global climate or gravity. It feels like you only include this to paint me as some kind of "Racism denier" or something. I don't deny racism exists, I just don't accept that as an argument that means it must be the cause of every unequal outcome.

Thay did this same thing with OpenOffice.

At the rate things are going, MySQL would also get this in the next 10yrs.

Oracle wants to extra as much resources as possible from any product. And when they realise the tech world has moved on, would try to throw a hinge to the wheel.
My analysis that you are a smartass is totally fact-based. The first thing you wrote was "the poll you refer to without linking" which is quite presumptuous to begin with.

Also what proof, what data? The polls are out there so why not check on them? There have been several of them and all of them had a majority against gender-neutral wording. If you wanna doubt this that's borderline conspiracy theory and I suggest you provide some data to refute those polls.

"Superior strength" is probably just a matter taste, however I would really like to read your explanation on why you think so.
I don't think people are worried about the corporation's loss, much the opposite, they're worried that its a big fish that creates inflated pricing, ex. given the data you shared, it overshot $30,000/house.

Yes, if you need a cross platform graphics API with maximum compatibility today, an OpenGL ES 2.0 context provided by ANGLE is what you should use (or ES 3.0 if dropping support for very old hardware is OK). Not only does ANGLE have very wide platform support, including platforms that don't natively support OpenGL ES, but it will behave the same everywhere, which is something even OpenGL has always struggled with when using platform/driver implementations instead of ANGLE (check out Chromium's list of driver bug workarounds: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/HEAD/gpu/co...). And ANGLE is used by all three major web browsers in their WebGL implementations so it is guaranteed to be maintained essentially forever.

Eventually WebGPU will get there too, but it will take time.
I honestly don't want to pick you apart or complain about the sample size, I feel like some explanation is still missing here. It would help to start with that before launching into the rest of the discussion, i.e. you can start with your thesis, we can discuss that a little bit, and then you can present your supporting evidence. It is not clear to me why I need to take something seriously. My experience has been that people on social media tend to exaggerate and use hyperbole a lot.
George is an interesting guy. There's a YouTube channel that mirrors all his live-streams. Sometimes his opinions/he can be a bit off-putting (he yells at the stream viewers calling them "stupid noobs" at some point as an example), but it's clear he's a complete wunderkid when it comes to what he does. His Lex Friedman interviews are interesting too.

The Netherlands just implemented an 8% property transfer tax for investors in the housing market. This seems to have discouraged a lot of investors from buying up homes in the past year compared to previous years. Still there are massive shortages on the housing market though.

There's more to it than that. The long-term plan for nuclear fission always has been and remains to use breeder reactors after we have ~1000 GW-scale non-breeder reactors in place. Because they can utilize the majority isotope of uranium (U-238) and Thorium rather than just the small natural amount of fissile U-235, breeders enable us to make 100% of the world's primary energy for about 4 billion years (e.g. roughly until the sun burns out) [1].

[1] https://whatisnuclear.com/blog/2020-10-28-nuclear-energy-is-...

The same point was made in the Hot Air book as well [2]

[2] https://www.withouthotair.com/c24/page_162.shtml

Since this is roughly the remaining lifetime of the Sun, there's a very strong argument to consider nuclear fission breeder reactors just as renewable as the solar-derived energies (wind, solar, hydro, biofuel)

And also thank you, for giving many companies the necessary push for them to realize Oracle's JDK was not the only game in town and many others could deliver a perfectly fine JDK.

There are few things worse in this business than being labeled an "unreliable partner" and Oracle is being seen as just that even at big companies. Oracle's wisdom to pull this kind of bullshit is already legendary, the Open Solaris train-wreck, the MySQL writing on the wall, the OpenOffice implosion, the JDK shoot-in-foot, those samurais at Oracle's board sure know what they're doing..

> There are twenty-six letters in the English alphabet, and "most people" wouldn't have trouble answering if C comes before or after J.

To be fair, this has a lot to do with the fact that C is pretty early in the alphabet, where it's easy to enumerate until you hit C before J. A lot of people couldn't say off the top of their head whether S comes before or after O, or whether R comes before or after V.

The problem is that "games" is one word, but we really have two core types of game.

Some games focus on mechanical skills or rules akin to a sport or boardgame, others are an interactive narrative experience. This interactive experience can further be broken down into games that tell you what is happening (cinema), and games that let you make your own story (tabletop RPG).

So while there is a lot of crossover and blurred lines, of these types of game, only one type really needs a well written or scripted story to achieve its goals. We have many successful games with no story due to this, but other games wouldn't have succeeded without one.
Problem is, you could end up spending $3.8 billion on pizza.

As someone else said, universities now require one or two years of living in dorms. These dorms vary wildly in quality, but from what I've seen prices are usually about the same, and I have no reason to think that it would be any different here.

For context, here's a summary of the last three years of uni for me:

1: Lived in a dorm without AC, crammed in with three other people, sharing a bathroom with the male half of the floor. This was the most I paid in rent.

2: Lived with those same three people in a townhouse with AC, my own room, a kitchen, sharing two bathrooms between four people. About half the price of the dorms.

3: Lived by myself in an apartment with AC, a kitchen, and my own bathroom. Still a bit cheaper than the dorms.

Even if students are given a cut in rent that reflects the reduced price of the dorm, I sincerely doubt that the university will pass up another opportunity to bleed students dry.
