That's different tho.

Firms that hire contractors can legitimately require the use of their own equipment, to an extent, on security grounds.

However, a hiring firm installing software on equipment they don't even own? That's an entirely new level of control.

Remember that contractors are free agents compared to employees. The immorality of this spying aside, contractors shouldn't cede this control unless they want to be treated as employees. They might gain paid holidays and better work security by doing so, but permanent employees are underpaid.

I think it's more useful to compare work requirements. In the 1970s, a family could be supported by a single earner. A house, a car, and college for the kids assuming they had decent grades. Today, that's largely impossible for the majority of Americans. Even with two incomes, (and the subsequent lower quality of life for any kids in the family), it's a huge challenge.
Are you implying these workers have done more harm than good? Right after they bore the brunt of the pandemic and were applauded as heros? All its filtered for is compliance and those fearful to lose their jobs.

Catchy title that's sure to gain interest with the hate-everything-Amazon-does crowd. But the only tool they point out is IaC.

CloudFormation works in both YAML and JSON. Don't like that? Use the CDK to write in your favorite language and that will be transformed into CloudFormation template. I'm not seeing what sucks here.

The reason most people use Terraform or Pulumi is because they want something that's cloud agnostic. That doesn't mean CloudFormation itself sucks -- it means that people have a different usecase.
It's also not a general-purpose language in many cases.

To the extent that I have made languages (mostly re-implementations or extensions) that were meant to be used by others (usually engineers doing analysis, or operators of a complex system), they had developed a bespoke DSL that represented their problem domain. They tended to fall into two modes: command oriented with mutation, declarative query languages.

The declarative query languages were often the most consistent and uniform throughout. Not totally, but no "Wait, why are we changing the model in the middle of this?" question arose. The command languages tended to be more ad hoc. Like they'd have procedures that changed things and looked more like conventional procedure calls, but suddenly there's a print statement or a query that looks very different than the rest. Like it was multiple languages jammed together, which in a way it was. Taken as a whole it's inconsistent, but taken in context different people wanted the queries than wanted the commands. An operator wanted the commands, an analyst wanted the queries, and the way they spoke to the initial developers resulted in a mishmash design. At one point they may even have been two different products that get combined because analyst/operators were increasingly common (also, automation, why automate via two tools when you can do the same job with one?).

I'm not claiming that some people in America would like to live under a totalitarian regime. I'm saying that's not what we have, and that most Americans don't want that.

We can look at China, get scared, and note the similar systems in our own. But we shouldn't be lazy and conclude that, because bees and birds both have eyes they are fundamentally the same thing.
(outside the United States point of view)

In Democracies with a reasonable proportional representation (PR) improving how to choose from N options, or how to allocate M resources, is secondary to the problem of how to select and parametrize N and M.

In PR democracies mechanism design should focus more on how to improve participation and deliberation before final voting.

Deliberation is a process of selecting and articulating options and figuring out problems. Mechanism design for deliberation can emphasize cooperation, dialogue, creativity and reason, as opposed to the use of power that is voting for given choices.
Redux Toolkit doesn't require much boilerplate anymore (IMHO). I found Redux to be absolutely appalling and never used it (despite having some familiarity with functional programming and the ideas underlying Redux) before RTK came along.
"The time I spend in the US I had the feeling that you have more of a pseudo freedom than actual freedom. "

Having grown up in Germany and now living in the US I think in the US you can have more freedom if you are willing to live outside the boundaries of the life the average citizen has. If you are willing to live off the grid you can be pretty free. Some people think freedom also means the right to not have health insurance.

But if you live the life of the average citizen with a regular job I feel the US citizen is less free. You constantly have to worry about the cost of health care and education. I also feel people are less willing to voice their opinion in order to not offend others. You have way less rights as an employee. Police is less predictable and may do weird stuff. I also feel less free when I get into a confrontation with somebody and have to worry about getting shot.
It's a kind of miracle it happened in most these countries without bloodshed. You need to mobilize large parts of society and have a favorable political situation to perform a coup like this without a civil war.

>Is technocracy the answer? Have some kind of determinable objective truth rule? How do we mitigate for failure to identify the objective truth in that case?

That's probably not even the most pressing problem. The most pressing problem is that the rulers in a technocracy are also self-interested, and simply knowing how something works is no proof against being a bad actor. Recent history is rife with experts tilting things to their advantage, and deflecting criticisms of unfair behaviour by saying the unwashed masses simply didn't know enough about the decisions that just so happened to transfer a lot of wealth upwards doesn't inspire confidence.

If you don't respect democracy as a way to harness the wisdom of crowds, maybe you can respect it as a pressure-relief valve.

It does not in fact solve the problem identified in this blog post (a non-associative issue).

It's a pretty bold assertion that "95% of our floating point problems" would be solved.

>Can't help seeing the irony that the censored document is a declaration by the publisher about how strongly they are committed to freedom of expression in international context..

Yep, and - also ironically - the root of publisher is the same as public, so you want to make something public but you restrict the access to a whole subset of the public.

Besides that, if they had written (without recurring to http 451[0]) a simple message like:

"We are sorry but we cannot serve this content due to the possible non-compliance of this site with EU Laws (GDPR)"

it would have been (IMHO) much more correct/polite.

I read the message "as is" more like:

Hallo, stupid visitor from Europe, you are denied access to the contents because you voted stupid people that wrote stupid laws that we won't respect.

Yea go to hell with standardization. Smart idea.
Markets and corporate profits were at record highs pre-pandemic, and even with any supply chain issues the market and corporate profits are at new all time highs now.

The pandemic is just a convenient scapegoat and excuse for decades of congressional over spending and bad policy ultimately responsible for the current inflation.

Since Clinton the national debt doubled under every administration (Trump was on track if he won a 2nd term). Each administration also had trillion $ bailouts/stimulus bills. Biden already has a trillion $ stimulus ($1.9T), and that is blamed/justified on the pandemic. However, we can already predict the next administration will also have its own trillion $+ bailout/stimulus its just a question of what that will be “blamed” on to justify it.

US universities are famously litigious and take a hard line stance when it suits them. See Aaron Swartz. So, I don't buy the 'they are still kids' line. That is, I don't condone it, but I don't agree that universities are motivated by this sort of reasoning.
The only real overlap right now is new england, places like the PNW have high vaccinations and low case rates. Regardless, there are so many factors that affect transmission, you can't easily learn much from geographic comparisons due to the impossibility of eliminating the confounds.

Eh, I don't think that this pattern is even remotely a uniquely Chinese thing; this is just how most people react defensively of the country and narrative they identify with when it is seen as threatened by a hostile country. Look into any Reddit thread on the topic of Russia and Ukraine, and you will see the same patterns play out with Americans giving each other backrubs for the most implausible theories imputing cartoonish evil to their geopolitical opponents (these days I quite often see celebrated posts suggesting that the US should withdraw its military protection from the ungrateful Germans which surely will result in Russia invading them), while accusing every disagreeing poster of being personally on the payroll of the Russian propaganda apparatus.

Of course, the situation in Russian popular forums is not better in the slightest, and the relevant patterns of conspiratorial thinking are reproduced at even the smallest of scales all the time. It has become a bit of a trope on 4chan that some contingent of posters will, if more than one post disagrees with their viewpoint, immediately claim that the two posts were actually made by the same person sockpuppeting; and last time I checked the recurring threads for some video games I play (still among the best sources for real-time information and gossip about updates and what-not...), they were all getting torn apart by mutual accusations of off-site conspiracies (usually on Discord) to push some viewpoint or meme or another.
