> But that also means that it is on us who have benefitted the most to work harder and invest to address some of these troubling issues.

2021 was a bad year for me. My stocks didn't increase in value at all (bluechip tech), my house down-payment cash savings decreased in value by 20% (~$20K value just GONE in one year: That's two years of savings for me), my 15 year old car is too expensive to replace right now, and it's leaky/moldy. I've also been locked down in my comically small apartment for YEARS.

This upcoming year I am 100% NOT going to 'address troubling issues' or anything like it. I've fallen lower on Maslow's hierarchy than I have been since before I started my career. I'm going to try to increase my comp, and get into the "good side". People are making serious money during this pandemic, and I'm so jealous that I missed the boat. I could really use some gains to offset the absurd increase in housing/transportation costs, but it appears there's no relief on the horizon for me.

I will never understand why this has been included in the standard library instead of as a standalone library available for download. Now it's locked to the Go release cycle and have the potential to languish because of backward compatibility concerns.

The decision to include it is perplexing when other language ecosystems have chosen to keep this kind of functionality out of the standard lib, e.g. requests in python[1]. To quote Kenneth Reitz: "...the standard library is where a library goes to die."

Men with guns are an important factor, but the question remains: where to send them, and with what orders.

Thus information is a critical factor. Doubly so because information generates the money used to pay the men and buy the guns.

The state's monopoly, qua Max Weber, is on the claim to a legitimate use of force.

That is, the right and legitimacy of that right, is restricted to the state.

Absent this, one of three conditions exist;

1. There is no monopoly. In which case violence is widespread, and there is no state.

2. There is no legitimacy. In which case violence is capricious. This is the condition of tyranny (unaccountable power).

3. Some non-state power or agent assumes the monopoly on legitimate violence. In which case it becomes, by definition the State.

A "non-state" actor would ultimately need some recourse to compulsion to avoid the 2nd condition being elected by some other power.

But the point is that anti-vaccine people tend to be the hateful ones. Vaccines are a wedge issue. Lockdowns aren’t as much - if you’re already vaccinated.

This resonates with me. I’m teaching myself Clojure and doing AoC questions as the vehicle. The highly interactive nature is a blessing and a curse. It’s a blessing if I’m thinking clearly and just want to quickly test my code. It’s a curse when I’m not thinking deeply and instead just layering bandage after bandage on the code until it “works”.

I think you are right, there is certainly a lot of people here hoping for a very mild winter. Hopefully the relief from rising energy prices this winter doesn’t distract from the bigger picture of climate change, but we must also not be dismissive of those in need.

There are so many people in the UK who have to make difficult choices each winter about heating their house or spending elsewhere. It’s estimated to be 1 in 10 households (3m people)[0]. So we can take a small amount of comfort that in the short term that this is help for them, but we must as a society address both these problems (income inequality and climate change)

> The west self-harm is contradicting itself by allowing both heavy labor-regulations in their own countries and trade with countries with basically no labor-regulations. It's just like they hate their own low skill workers so much that the politicians intentionally destroyed the factory job market.

This is the problem but you have the motive wrong. It wasn't intentionally destroyed, it was a complete lack of concern about whether or not it was destroyed.

You have, on the one hand, unions and others who lobby for more regulations. They have perverse incentives. If they get a new regulation that increases US manufacturing costs by 2%, they get credit for protecting workers. But they don't get credit for regulations passed in the 1970s, so they're always asking for more, so the cost of US manufacturing is always going up.

Manufacturing companies would have the incentive to counterbalance this by lobbying against them, if they didn't have the alternative to offshore manufacturing to countries without this. But they do, so they do that instead.

So regulations that can't pass a cost benefit analysis, or that no longer make sense because things have changed or we know more now than we did then, are still on the books and have no obvious path to being removed.

Politicians have no incentive to fix this because their incentives are to make the lobbyists happy. The unions are happy that they get to take credit for passing more regulations all the time and the corporations are happy that they get to avoid all the regulations by manufacturing in other countries, so who is the lobby to fix it?

What I don't understand is what you mean by "this type of activism"? Most of the article is explaining facts about autism. The only things I can see that might be controversial are the PFL thing and "severe/profound autism" label. The rest of the article seems largely uncontroversial and quite valuable for people trying to understand the landscape. Am I missing something?

On those points- PFL _is_ preferred by the majority from the surveys I've seen?

Concerns that introducing the concept of "severe autism" risks non-verbal people being written off and "high-functioning" autists finding it more difficult to get accommodations seem to me at least worth talking about? You think not?

If nobody writes articles explaining the basics of autism- in particular things like the double-empathy problem, then nobody will know about them. Specifically how would you write an article explaining poorly-understood aspects of autism without it being an article "like this"?
Use "search" "term", use negative operators and learn other search operators that works. I don't have any problems finding stuff amd filtering the seo bullshit. Even really old stuff. Or use different search engine.

Its not internet's fault that you cannot find something, go and complain to google about their algorithms or even better, go work for them to improve it instead of complaining.

The book addresses this argument.

One point is that when people have secure lives, the birth rate plummets. When your only capital is children, you make more children. By meeting the needs of the worst off, they have fewer children, not more.

I'm sure there were other points made, but I don't want to attempt to restate those from my shaky memory of what I read more than a year ago.
Record high temps outnumber record lows by 2:1. The planet is hotter than its been in 100,000 years. Co2 levels are higher than they've been in 800,000 years. 4 Hiroshima bombs per second worth of extra heat energy are being trapped in the climate system by the co2 we've emitted. The oceans are 25% more acidic because of how much of our co2 has been absorbed by the oceans. Absolute humidity has increased 7% because a warmer atmosphere can hold more moisture and warmer oceans evaporate more readily.

> I would say Japan's second only to the UK in terms of visible cultural exports here.

That's really interesting, I haven't been to the States until now so that is really news to me. To be honest I had thought that the Japanese "mania" (if I may call it so) had run its course back in the '80s (the "Karate Kid" movies, Akira as an underground (?) cultural phenomenon, the Nakatomi Corporation), with an important continuation in the '90s through the anime mania, maybe also in the 2000s, when many people (re-)discovered Miyazaki and Takahata. Also the JDM car scene that was made famous by the first F&F movies. Anyway, I thought all that was in the past, for example a Mk4 Toyota Supra sold for a record auction price recently [1], I thought there's no way that culture is still part of the mainstream, joining it has become too expensive.

I certainly do notice the fascination Japan as a country still holds among many in the tech-crowd scene like is the case for many HN-ers in here, but I thought that was a local and contained phenomenon.

The author's overall point is that China does not seen to export many cultural works with global appeal (and not just restricted to western tastes). In comparison you could look to Japan with it's global cultural export of manga, anime, and video games and also South Korea with it's global cultural exports of movies and drama. These exports aren't strictly limited in taste to western audiences but have a global appeal while still retaining elements of it's place of origin.

It's unclear to me though if it is deliberate in this way for there not to be many cultural exports like this and if having a strong domestic scene is enough, however purely from a number game I would have expected more (which the author goes onto address later in the essay in the section "Strangling the cultural sector")
I work for an ISP, and when we provision land lines, its a sort of handshake between the device and our network. Due to older dumbphones provisioning requiring minimal effort, it seems that they don't require the same tools. BlackBerry devices however are running a full-fledged OS that requires support. Since the affected devices are at latest from 2013, it seems reasonable that most of those affected have moved off of said devices.

To be fair, the language ecosystem may be why one language ends up more popular than another that is superior in both memory safety and performance on paper. Of course, these are beginner students who don't have the full context to understand that.

> "Today we'll write code, but we'll do it on pen and paper first and then we'll type it." After a few days, their skills clearly improved. Syntax errors were rare, off-by one errors mostly disappeared and they started thinking before writing.

How anal were you with semicolons, parenthesis matching, and quotation balance? I can't imagine that would be remotely enjoyable to grade. That said, writing down the high-level structure on paper (annotated with the occasional implementation detail I don't want to forget when it's typing time) is immensely helpful.

Nothing new so far, Steamboat Willie isn't scheduled to enter the public domain until 2024. And considering only the properties that Disney actually cares about, Snow White has until 2032.

Let's also keep in mind the difference between copyright and trademark; even if art containing Mickey Mouse enters the public domain, that doesn't mean that Disney loses the trademark to Mickey Mouse. AIUI you would be able to reproduce Steamboat Willie verbatim, but if you attempt to publish a new work derived from Steamboat Willie that includes Mickey Mouse they may be able to stop you based on trademark protections.
I’ve got no idea why people eat anything else. Says on Wikipedia that it only got to the public in 2019, so maybe that’s why this older article omitted it.
> If I could, I'd give up ever having to drive again in a heartbeat.

Try it. I lived in Chicago years ago, where cars are expensive and inconvenient to own, at least by American standards. I would walk to the grocery store, which was about 4 blocks I guess, about a 10-15 minute walk. So your shop is limited to what you can carry back, so you have to shop every day or every other day, with the walk there, the shop, and the walk home taking the better part of an hour. Every other day or so. And on the way you are accosted by at least one street person asking for money, and with your hands full of grocery bags you feel a bit defenseless. And then there were the rainy days. And the cold days. Not fun walking 10-15 minutes at 6 degrees F with a 20mph wind in your face.

It had its charms, but overall it sucked. I prefer my rural house and easy weekly shop with a car now.

In terms of tv/film/music quality Japan is almost a cultural desert even to Japanese. The industries are pretty stagnant. Japanese have Netflix now and can see the cinematic quality of (some) US tv shows that is beyond anything locally.
But Japan is still widely admired for a good number of iconic cultural exports like food, architecture, games, decorative arts like bonsai, ikebana, martial arts, etc. And every midsize US city has a few ramen restaurants in the past 5-10 years.

Couldn't say, I'm using caffeinate because it's builtin, and more or less every time I need the feature it's because of a dev / shell thing, so the ability to run `caffeinate <command>` or `caffeinate -w <pid-of-program-I-forgot-to-run-through-caffeinate >` is what I need.

I'm pretty sure they both work through the standard power assertions API[0], so nothing precludes having both (in fact if you have amphetamine you necessarily have both) and using whichever's more convenient for your needs at any time.

Unlike AlDente (versus native) there should not be any conflict between caffeinate and amphetamine, because both simply signal to the system that some forms of sleep / power saving should not be used. If caffeinate says the disks can't idle-sleep and amphetamine says the system can't idle sleep, then neither will happen and that's that.

This analysis is centered on the mechanism and timeline of collapse, with nothing to say about the direct cause.

It appears from this analysis, IMHO, poor design and build, an apparent lack of code enforcement, and poor maintenance and repair led to the building collapsing within minutes of the pool deck failure. There's still room to consider the factors leading to the pool deck failure; although certainly the previous factors would be part of that too.
