They're calling it a "right", but it does not meet the US definition of a right as it is, definitively, a positive right whereas the US only defines negative rights as human rights.

If the US wants to adopt this model as a social program, I would respect the implementation of a strings-free service much more than the strings-attached approach that currently exists. As the article says, eradicating homelessness is more about getting a roof over someone's head than prequalifying them on "good behavior" before doing so. The outcome of the Finnish program is not surprising to me in the least.

Regarding the Finnish "right" of housing, I do have this question...
I cannot find the actual program documentation. My question is as follows: if I'm Finnish and make $14 billion euros a year, will the gov still provide me free housing?
What's wrong with the Pfizer vaccine data?

I mean the FDA is asking for 55 years to process and release all such public data to the public now.. https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/wait-what-fda-wants... . Which to me is concerning as well the CDC just announcing not to get the J&J shot but the other two.

Early science .. we all jumped in like guniea pigs ... some forced to like myself where Ive already been burned twice (hernia mesh implant recalled causes pain forever and a med I took damaged an organ) by early science/profits over people crap.

Also any media to research where bias (pro or not pro vaccine ... left or right) is.. is hard to believe as truth. Bias clouds the truth always! Im sure any vote on my post is biased based ... pro vaccine or anti. Im in the middle and wanted to wait to see years of data to see/find out which one was the best .. which one was the worst but i wasnt given that opportunity... get vaxed or if not lose everything.
Events to encourage social cohesion seem like an obviously good thing to me, and having them annually seems to be very helpful for people in consciously experiencing the passage of time. Grieving, spending a moment looking forward, stuff like that.

But some data would have been neat.
What does scale have to do with it? Pub/sub as an architectural pattern could be equally relevant for your use case whether there are a hundred users in your system or a billion.

And Kafka isn't the only solution for it. There are many lightweight pub/sub and queuing systems which also don't involve needlessly adding abstraction layers and application code into an RDBMS.
>"which include social media trolling to promote their POV, undermine rival POVs, and/or sow discord"

If you really believe that the other side does not do exactly the same I have a bridge to sell. China and Russia are geopolitical rivals of the US. The US will not tolerate it and will use anything to counter. Including that trolling you just mentioned. And I would not blame the US for doing it. It is natural (not saying it is anything good) and every country pulls blanket to their side. Just do not be a hypocrite.
I wouldn't recommend setting up your own message queue infrastructure either. The cloudamqp link was more about the content than the product. All cloud providers come with extremely simple, scalable, and inexpensive message queue services with bindings to most languages.

A message queue is one of those things that is easy enough and worth the effort to do "right" early on, because it is not something you want to rip out and rewrite when you hit your scaling bottlenecks, given how critical it is and how many things it will end up touching.
I see reports of 1300+ people dying horrible, excruciating deaths by suffocation due to the virus daily (in the U.S.) and don't even slow down. Instead I move on to the next clickbait / eye candy.

At least I now have some idea of what it must have been like to see all those daily death tolls in the paper during WW II.
Maybe that's what it should be, then? I wouldn't expect to get in, displacing a student with a higher score, just because I'm white.

Willpower is not a resource, it's a tree. The more you water it the stronger it grows. It doesn't spend it accumulates.

Only your beliefs make it otherwise. If you believe it is a resource then you allow yourself to act as if it were depleted.

Watch the video, read the other comments. The "instant" current flow comes from crosstalk. While the resistor and the battery are separate by 500m worth of ire on each side, they are actually located next to each other (so both places can be measured simultaneously).
I note how your comment has been largely ignored by... the massive numbers of Facebook and Google employees reading this site.

If there was an ounce of integrity in Tech these days, this would have been called out, front-and-centre, and remedies to it would have been enacted. Instead, here we are almost two years later, and we're pretending that never happened. In some cases it's even being memory-holed. I predict within 4 years, it will be common to call someone pointing this out some sort of rabid conspiracy theorist.

That's really smart! It's basically like a checksum on a domain. Surprised this isn't more common.
I think this is pretty cool.

I've been thinking about this "tree" in context of presentations which are structure + content/facts + layout/visualization. Basically all presentation content is just a big tree/hierarchy of facts (text and numbers) and some applied layout.

Many of the problems are similar:

- you want to look at the problem on different levels "high level" story line, low level drilling into section 4.3.2, seamless zoom

- you'd want to have different representations of the same information. During problem solving the information you are collecting is constantly growing and it's a back and forth between adding data, shaping it differently (lists become tables etc.)

- easy entity/renaming, search and replace for facts + audit trails "where does the number come from" etc.

- CSS / re-styling (why does it matter if important words are blue or red, that should just be a CSS theme you switch out)

- there also exists "structs" which are structured entities like say "these are the 40 offices" the client has, and we want to represent them in various forms

- ...

I wonder if notion could be turned into a modern problem solving / result presentation maker. It's very flexible in surfacing the same content in different formats.

More related to software development and their demo: Is any additional information in the tree, that is not /can not be in the text rendering.

I get that the text rendering can be "loss-y" meaning that if it's badly rendered, information can be lost / the text has errors.

But if you have the information, and you render it into a certain text representation that is error free. Then the program should also be able to parse it back into a tree?

What are the situations were storing it in "tree form" are actually superior?

Isn't the "tree" just a more compressed, less error prone and stricter text?
yeah, but your claim was "Note also that Julia would be number 1 in almost all of those benchmarks if you were to rank by speed of second run"

notice this isn't even a language vs language benchmark. it's libraries and frameworks.

plus I don't think even the author of the julia library in question would agree with your statement: https://discourse.julialang.org/t/the-state-of-dataframes-jl...

as mentioned in that thread, GC and strings, or especially a combination of the two, can be very much a downer in terms of julia performance. That's actually pretty surprising since strings are often as important if not more important than numbers for a lot of data processing needs.

I'd also say in terms of compilation time, some autocaching layer outside of precompilation would do wonders.

This article defines what web3 IS then criticizes it. If web3 were only blockchain it might be forgiven but IMO it is about a lot more like IPFS, no-trust networks, peer-2-peer computing, etc.

This article therefore makes some points while missing a lot more.
Nice. Think of all the work that AWS puts into IAM, all the other services use it for auth.

I'm the person who wrote that blog post. I got an email from a fake person in France who asked several questions about my small social media site's CCPA compliance, then ended the letter with:

> I look forward to your reply without undue delay and at most within 45 days of this email, as required by Section 1798.130 of the California Civil Code.

I thought I was about to be sued by someone who was the equivalent of a patent troll, but for the CCPA. I had a minor panic attack before I was able to calm down and piece together an open response (as I wasn't about to reply directly to them, not after their thinly veiled legal threat). I briefly considered lawyering up just in case, which would have cost me a fair chunk of money.

After all that, it turns out it was research by Princeton University: https://privacystudy.cs.princeton.edu

The lead researcher, Ross Teixeira, says that:

> We submitted an application detailing our research methods to the Princeton University Institutional Review Board, which determined that our study does not constitute human subjects research. The focus of the study is understanding website policies and practices, and emails associated with the study do not solicit personally identifiable information.

Either:

1. Teixeira misrepresented his research to the IRB, or

2. The IRB is grossly incompetent or unimaginative.

I don't see a middle ground on this, particularly after the University of Minnesota vs Linux contributors debacle (see https://www.theverge.com/2021/4/30/22410164/linux-kernel-uni...). I see Teixeira's research as the equivalent of sending a bunch of fake legal notices to random people to "study the legal system", while claiming with a straight face that it doesn't involve human subjects research. Frankly, that's bullshit, and I can't believe someone signed off on this.

As noted on the blog post, I've reported this to Princeton's Research Integrity & Assurance department. This isn't OK. I didn't consent to be a part of their human research (which it absolutely is, however they might try to claim otherwise), and this research seriously freaked me out. I slept poorly for a couple of days thinking I was facing possible legal issues over hosting a little not-for-profit hobby website.
Is this a recent change? There are many videos online of Tesla's "driving" with no-one in the driver seat. One tester in the bay area even had his car seized[1]

subjective/objective are probably not the right adjectives here, but to use your example I would say that a timed foot race is an objective measure of how well you do in timed foot races, but is not an objective measure of your innate athletic ability because of training/coaching and you have to factor those to attempt to back into physical ability. the same is true for the SAT, in that people treat it like an intelligence/general knowledge test when you have to factor in the specific training that person has had for the SAT itself.

what part of this is a game?
No, it's a measure of how well you perform on the subjects tested by the SAT. There are many things that correlate with high SAT scores (e.g., grades, being Asian?), but it is definitely true that you can prep for the SAT without any meaningful amount of money. I don't believe that anybody has ever alleged that SAT scores are a proxy for intelligence, though I suspect there is a decent correlation. In my mind it is a useful, objective, universal measure of how an individual student is able to prepare for and execute on a difficult task.

Yeah, concerns about Immer have come up a number of times. The usual concerns people have are:

- Too much "magic" as you said

- Proxy-wrapped data values can be harder to inspect in the browser's debugger

- Seeing "mutating" code may be confusing

I understand those, but from my perspective the benefits of Immer far outweigh any potential negatives.

Ultimately all Immer does is track attempted mutations to nested data, and replay them to create the immutable updates as if you'd done all the nested spread operators yourself. There were dozens of immutable update libs in the ecosystem already (I had listed most of them in my Redux addons catalog), and accidental mutations have always been the number 1 cause of bugs in Redux apps. So, a better way to write immutable updates was clearly valuable.

Immer drastically simplifies all that update logic:

- Removes all the extra object spreads and slices and concats you would have had to write previously, so the code is much shorter and easier to read. It's also more clear what the actual intent of the state update is.

- It also completely eliminates accidental mutations _in_ reducers, and also _out_ of reducers by freezing the state.

So, shorter code, easier to read, and eliminates the #1 cause of Redux bugs.

The tradeoffs are a couple KB of bundle size (which is quickly paid for by having shorter reducers), and needing to understand that Immer is there and doing this "magic" for you.

The one still slightly nagging annoyance is that inspecting Proxy-wrapped data in a debugger is painful, but Immer does supply a `current()` util to extract the plain JS data if you need to, and we document doing that:

https://redux-toolkit.js.org/usage/immer-reducers#debugging-...

So, as with all tools Immer isn't 100% perfect, but it was absolutely the right choice to include it in RTK by default.

Sounds like they enjoyed the process of building it. I would have appreciated more points at the end about recommendations for building.

The takeaways #1 and #2 at the end are about marketing. Sure, you didn't market it but who cares, was that the point? Either way I'm not interested in blockchain marketing. This is a learn by doing project.

Jefferson said "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty". Which is probably one reason why we now have efforts to read him out of the discussion.

The drive to power and control seems to be part of human nature, and it is always finding new ways to organize and express itself. And because freedom is a matter of human choices, yeah, there is always the danger that people will choose to become unfree.

I think freedom has the enormous advantages of being more effective and more motivating. The free are better able to innovate, and to correct their mistakes. They have a better moral basis, which motivates stronger action over longer periods of time. The free can rely on the power of the individual, which mounts en masse to an enormous force, while the unfree are ultimately always awaiting direction.

The greatest risks to a free society are internal, the forces which erode freedom of speech and thought. Liberal democracies have a very strong track record against totalitarian societies. For the US, I think the decline in free speech and the growth of ideological thinking is a serious problem, and we may hit a point of lock-in where people cannot criticize the regime. Many corners of the country are already at this point, and have been for a while, and those zones are spreading. It doesn't help that resistance to this has coalesced under a cult of a crazed personality.

I think freedom will win out, but it won't be easy, and we'll have to work at it. Probably always.
I'm very curious, what concerns do you have about Immer? fwiw I just wrote a sibling comment that goes into some detail on what problems Immer solves and why we included it in RTK:

> Donald Trump? Jan 6? Julian Assange? Chelsea Manning?

While I don’t agree with the prosecution of Julian Assange, Chelsea Manning was pardoned and censorship of Donald Trump was done by the businesses themselves due to cultural reasons. That had nothing to do with the US Government (of which Donald Trump was running the executive branch at the time). It’s also far different than having all dissent being censored, and as a business being liable for any and all dissent that is not censored on your platform.

> Do you really believe that Washington doesn't have this same power? That they will just go "oh well, guess we can't investigate this national security crisis because Google said so". That's clearly ridiculous. Washington has the power and resources to break into datacenters if compelled.

That’s pure conjecture. In your words, provide some evidence to dig deeper. Either way, Washington having to break into a domestic data center to get their information is different than the law explicitly stating that all domestic business are a part of the national security apparatus and requiring businesses hand anything over no questions asked — the latter of which is “vastly more controlling than the other”.

You're right, from the point of view of Americans it is OK to influence every aspect of life in other countries, but if the reverse occurs it is the end of the world. Given that China is quickly becoming the richest country of the world, it is just normal they will have more and more influence in American society, just looking from the economic point of view. Consider for example how Japan started having a cultural influence around the world in the 80s. The same will happen with China.

Plato's Republic still relevant 2,400 years later:

"...the earth, as being their mother, delivered them, and now, as if their land were their mother and their nurse, they ought to take thought for her and defend her against any attack and regard the other citizens as their brothers and children of the self-same earth...While all of you, in the city, are brothers, we will say in our tale, yet god, in fashioning those of you who are fitted to hold rule, mingled gold in their generation, for which reason they are the most precious—but in the helpers, silver, and iron and brass in the farmers and other craftsmen. And, as you are all akin, though, for the most part, you will breed after your kinds, it may sometimes happen that a golden father would beget a silver son, and that a golden offspring would come from a silver sire, and that the rest would, in like manner, be born of one another.

So that the first and chief injunction that the god lays upon the rulers is that of nothing else are they to be such careful guardians, and so intently observant as of the intermixture of these metals in the souls of their offspring, and if sons are born to them with an infusion of brass or iron they shall by no means give way to pity in their treatment of them, but shall assign to each the status due to his nature and thrust them out among the artisans or the farmers. And again, if from these there is born a son with unexpected gold or silver in his composition they shall honor such and bid them go up higher, some to the office of guardian, some to the assistanceship, alleging that there is an oracle that the city shall then be overthrown when the man of iron or brass is its guardian."

Socrates proposes and claims that if the people believed "this myth...[it] would have a good effect, making them more inclined to care for the state and one another." This is his noble lie: "a contrivance for one of those falsehoods that come into being in case of need, of which we were just now talking, some noble one..."
I'm a little bit of a color freak. Allow me to leave some suggestions :)

- Picking from the 256 color pallete will likely give you colors with different brightness. This may hurt readability of darker colors on a dark background, and may make some color stand out unintentionally. Consider using something like HSLuv [1] to pick colors with the same lightness, then convert to the closest Xterm color [2].

- To make it obvious there is a gradient, I'd pick one lightness (assuming HSLuv) and one saturation (I usually stick to 100%), then pick a distance in hue for each step. For example if I expect to see a maximum of 7 steps on the screen at once, one way is to start at 0, then 30, then 60, etc. You may choose to go over 180, but keep in mind 360 will be the same as 0 so maybe stop at 240. Note how by picking adjacent colors from the table you are still picking a distance, but the distance is too small so it's hard to see.

- You may want to choose a different starting point than 0, and maybe different direction for the steps, depending on whether you want the colors to "mean" anything. For example red is commonly associated with warning, so you can arrange to have the top of the range aligned with red. Or arrange to avoid the red region if you don't want that association.
