Well I keep hearing all kinds of people ranting about their freedom, often in relation to COVID restrictions. Or taxes, or... As if living off of the back of a highly complex society incurred no responsibilities. That’s a parasitic not a symbiotic relationship

I lived in Germany and Sweden in the past 6 years, and traveled to the US (West Coast) and several African and European countries multiple times. Traveling helped me grow personally (in a way that I couldn’t in my home country). I always found the experience of arriving in a new country, where I barely speak the language or know any people, invigorating because it forces me to get out of my comfort zone, let go of some of my inhibitions, and put myself out there. An interesting fact I noticed is that despite all the different cultures, languages, etc., all humans are fundamentally the same and share the same basic folklore. On the negative side, in Europe I quickly realized that one’s mental health can be negatively affected by how different they look from the locals (I’m Black and African). This varies more or less depending on personality and means ($).

The Tweet you noted is the official tweet on this. The parent quote is relying on existing "rebuttals" of that post by conservatives, which have eventually become broken telephone to the degree that the parent comment believes Joe Biden banned meat to falsely reduce the cost of July 4th.

It's funny because the actual quote is stupid enough -- trying to emphasize some marginal rounding error national savings on 5 pounds of meat when the entire world has been exploded for the last two years is a baffling claim and an obvious attempt to put lipstick on the whole situation, these guys are absolute clowns, and the April-onwards hubris of "COVID's over, we saved the day!!!" is just a national embarrassment.

The specific "ban meat" bugbear has been a very active talking point among conservatives. You see, the Green New Deal (which is predicted in the book of Revelation) involves Andrea McDonald-Cortisol personally banning you from eating meat.

The ground truth at the heart of it is that the Green New Deal, which is as much an expression of intent as it is an actual policy document, correctly notes that cattle raised for beef contribute to greenhouse gasses (both through methane production, CO2 production, and clear-cutting of valuable carbon sinks to produce grazeland). This is of course indisputably true. The document doesn't actually prescribe any restrictions on meat so much as it acknowledges that the size of meat's contribution to our climate economics makes it unlikely we'll hit long term targets without rethinking our relationship with meat.
Compound that with the fact that some liberals, including Barack Hussein Obama's awful wife!!!!, did initiatives like a "meatless monday", and you have all the proof you need that liberals are banning your meat.

It is less clear to me who is the first particular commentator to combine the "Biden is going to ban meat (and guns, and god, and everything else you hold dear, which is not a surprise because he stole the election, and he's senile)" argument and the "Biden claimed the 4th of July will be cheaper which is false because we have Zimbabwe level inflation" argument.

A few random sources of very concerned RW commentators talking about liberals taking away your meat, all before the present controversy:

While full blown civil war is unlikely, there are good conditions for nasty stuff to happen. Political hypocrisy, dehumanization of the other tribe (both sides), coupled with worsening economic conditions and lots of young men that can't participate in society is rarely recipe for prosperity. Throw in some two years of lockdowns and a lot of tensions everywhere - chances for low key violence increasing across the board are not low.

Biden couldn't deliver one of his most important implicit promises - that will deescalate the culture war and return to normal. So far things has intensified.

We are in for a bumpy ride.

> Can we just use legislation to make public and public-funded universities allow open access journals?

Yes, in many countries legislation requires that some form of open access is used. As with FOIA or GDPR or other legislation which requires people disclose information it is not practical to go around arresting and jailing thousands of admin staff every week day for not complying, so you're dependant upon a cultural shift in society.

However, of course the for-profit journals will lobby to have the rules drafted in a way that permits them to continue to exist, even if they must make some sacrifices.

For example, "Green Open Access" versus "Gold Open Access". The latter requires publication in an Open Access journal, but the former just requires that the for-profit journal not unduly prevent the authors from archiving their own papers, perhaps under an embargo and with copyright permanently devoted to the journal publisher.

In practice, the reality before Open Access but after the Internet was available to academics is that you could get a "pre-publication draft" of more or less any paper by contacting the author. Of course, to know you want the paper is difficult if you can't read the journals everybody is publishing in. So Green Open Access satisfies the obvious technical requirement that if I hear about Professor Smith's breakthrough in Vulcan Unicorn Steel I can go read the paper without paying Elsevier a pile of cash, but doesn't really free Vulcan Unicorn Metal research from funding Elsevier. Smith's peers read about it in the Elsevier journal their institutions pay $$$ to receive copies of and that's how I heard it's a breakthrough.

If you respond to them, you might ask them which specific statements in your article they claim are untrue.

However, you may want to consult a lawyer, since they may sue you for defamation if you don't take the article down, and you want to be aware of what the risks are. For example, even if your article's claims are justified, they can probably afford to pay lawyers much more than you can, so you may run out of money before you can even argue your case in court.
The good old SexyHexe.pdf strikes again.

These problems won't go away for a while, unicode is fucking hard. Almost every app I ever tried it had at least some problems with %u202E (the right to left overwrite),
There is a whole world out there full of delicious fresh food for a mildly active cat. Just saying.
It all depends on your IDE. I've tried this, and IntelliJ and friends will show a little block with the text RLO for the right to left override or ZWS for zero with spaces for any non-standard character that might mess things up. (Neo)vim will show the unicode espace sequence instead of rendering the text as unicode directs it.

Some compilers, notably clang, will warn you that you're using an "invisible character". Assuming you at least read the warnings your code generates (because if you don't, why not just put exploitable algorithms deep down ontthe software?) you'd probably catch the issue.

Simpler programs such as the text editor that ships with GNOME will freak out, but I don't think most people are coding in that in the first place.

I think this is an interesting peculiarity, but it's not a "threat" to "the security of all code".
I highly recommend reading it as a comedy, in the vein of inherently absurd shitposts. Stirner's bragadocio really underscores the absurdity of self-interest vis-a-vis the individual's standing with reality.

I very much agree with your position! I came to a similar view, which I only acknowledged in my explicit deconstruction of my beliefs. It's taken me ages to reconverge; Camus, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, and Stirner finally gave me the confidence to declare: "fuck it, I am my impact, and I'm proud of what I do right."

It's really the most life-affirming philosophy I've found, it helps me walk the fine balance of empathy (tending to self-destruction) and self-interest (tending to dread isolationism, nihilism).

I'd love to keep a dialog as you read Stirner! Let me know if you're interested, I'll give you a line to reach me at :D

No I think some people would disagree, arabic coders for example. People just need to be aware of this when using unicode in their product.

While I take the point, and support dismantling the power structures within academic publishing, it's not helpful to dismiss the effort required as "easy".

The pressures that are brought to bear within academia are extreme, including financial, reputational, professional, and more. This produces major incentives to work within the system. I'm not defending this, just pointing out the reality of the situation.

There is a key difference here- if your build instructions include "install this package using apt" then you are limiting your developers to using Ubuntu or Debian, and even then limiting it to a particular version range within those distros.

If your build instructions are "zig build" then that works for everyone, on every platform: Windows, macOS, Linux (all distros!), FreeBSD, etc., and it works for all versions of them.

> So people could do something like /usa/texas/ and get a list of all cities, or /usa/postalcode/90210/ and you would get a list of all companies and websites in the area.

This could be done for those specific examples with cTLDs, since sites can be hosted on root domains. So your example would be us/texas/ and us/postalcode/90210/.

I've thought about this too and with the increasing digitization of governments and government services this would be a nice way to add a discoverability.
I very much like your analysis. We need to look into more details and the very different nature of things today. We are still viewing inflation as if there is one economy. But there are many different (global) markets resulting in very cheap things (e.g. from abroad - TVs) and expensive things (e.g. locally - Food). We need to add this to our view and also anticipate where these modern factors lead to: Wage stagnation, still high increase in prices for local goods + development of the "cheap goods producing countries". Last factor will also increase the prices of those goods, which could set off this time bomb (and cause the civil war mentioned).
> People will compete to provide the best fix for this obvious deffect.

This may be part of the concern. Sometimes for a personal project you don't want that sort of input on the essentials. It is your thing, you want to do it right yourself either through pride or because you feel you'll learn more/better that way.

In those cases, while being perfectly willing to share the results by releasing the source at a particular point they might not want to be "distracted" at this stage by the sort of input you describe.

Not releasing immediately also delays the potentially discombobulating license choice issue, if this is your first such project and you have not given that much thought previously.
God, that sounds awful! Do Android users really put up with this kind of crap?

It's just something every interviewer starts off with and frankly, is a waste of time.

It may be a waste of time for you, but as an interviewer it seriously helps nervous candidates find their footing by starting something that they're super comfortable and confident with. It can be intimidating to jump right into questions without a bit of social lubrication.

I normally start my interviews pointing out that we indeed have your CV, so it would be helpful to know how all the pieces came together in your last project. I find the conversational-style of interviewing more productive than the inquisitional-style, and past projects is a nice entrance to deeper questions

EDIT:
And in some cases we dont even have your CV. I'm testing a new hiring pipeline where instead of asking for a resume we instead ask a few open-ended questions. This is to see if we can reduce any unconscious bias in the first selection of applicants. In this case, starting with a short summary _is_ new information
Customer price index is based on average consumer behavior. The tricky thing is that consumer behavior changes when prices rise. For example, when the price of meat rises, consumers start substituting it with cheaper alternatives. If the old basket was $50 and the new one is $50, then there's no inflation.

Yea that's the tweet. First, it simply doesn't match people's own experiences, or the govt's own data. The tweet says ground beef is down 8%. However, somehow, in September (just 2 months later) inflation data showed beef was up 12% YOY: https://www.npr.org/2021/09/14/1036678722/chicken-beef-pork-...

Secondly, to somehow think 16 cents -- in the middle of a pandemic -- is worth a high-five, a bunch of jokes, and evidence that "the Biden economic plan is working" (what economic plan? nothing has passed yet), just shows that this administration is absolutely tone-deaf when it comes to the people it supposedly represents.
yeah, I've had an identifier or two like that in Ruby in the past :) always worth a few facepalm-riddled lols when sharing the final result with the rest of the team, especially since it often meant they copied the func from Stack Overflow or some equivalent.

Most of what I've encountered though has been due to a lack of unicode support, and related growing pains in adopting full UTF-8. E.g. much of the Eclipse issues I saw were due to UTF-16 weirdness and stuff encoded in ShiftJIS or whatever flavor of Windows encoding you used, and all those garbled files due to missing magic-encoding-bytes in files. UTF-8 support "completing" in tools largely cleaned all that up, since they detected the encoding, converted to UTF-8, and showed abnormal stuff as the abnormalities they were all along.

I mean, that's probably because taking a deep look at supporting UTF-8 meant taking a deep look at many of their latent text bugs and finally fixing them, but it still happened around the same time, and "X editor now supports UTF-8" also marked a dramatic increase in "... and now shows <nbsp> explicitly!" and similar things.
But as you correctly put it, it's a cash wealth tax. The poor have all the wealth they do have in cash. Similar for those somewhat above poverty, if they done go deep on debt.

The poor don't hold debt. "I live in a nice house that's still owned by the bank" is not poverty.

And you might find that even many of the rich (who have far more in assets than they have in debt or cash) will still have more debt than cash, because while investing on debt is generally considered stupid, investing on debt that could be fully cleared by the the object invested in (house/land) as collateral is the exception. People rich enough to buy houses for renting out rarely pay them in cash. The winners of inflation debt decay are not who you think they are.
> Fortunately, this is quite easy to fix - just don't accept any patches with source code that have any non-ASCII outside small set of localization resources

It's not a ridiculous statement if everyone is saying their particular favourite product has gone up in price significantly more than inflation, as the original post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29063208) in this thread does.

If all the products have increased in price then inflation is higher than reported.
