I think you will have a hard time finding a definition of art that allows for art without intention.

One of the few rules I learned is that "nature isn't art", precisely because nature, while pretty, has no reason for being, it just is.

I've never seen a book without intention, for instance, because almost no one sits down to write nonsense. And I say "almost" because the dadaists did precisely that, but they did it with the clear intention of subverting expectations.
> Transportation is a public good

This is a single point that got my attention. He says that we, society, should run transportation for a net loss, because it benefits everybody, and especially benefits poor, who can't afford living close to their work.

This is sounds about right, but at the same time it creates an incentive to live even farther, because farther is cheaper.

Imagine me, a poor man, already settled for my current commute from point A to point B for two hours, and point A suddenly gets a better transportation, and I have one hour to myself because of that.

I may spend it to my health or my family, but at the same time I may choose to cash this hour out by moving to point C, where I still have a two hour commute (because it is one hour from point A), but rent is cheaper.

So this would be basically a subsidy, but there's another nuance. Rent at point A will go up because of better transportation. This is the most sure thing in the whole reasoning, because everybody old enough just saw things like that: subway station opens, and rent around it goes up. Moreover, there's a construction of higher class condo starts immediately, even before the opening.

So in the end said subsidy goes to the pockets of landlords and development companies. What am I missing here?

> A tiger escaping a zoo is unusual. A previously unknown species of tiger escaping a zoo is substantially more unusual.

One of the closest relatives of SARS-CoV2 was discovered in 2013 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RaTG13 and only published in 2016 or later. So yes, it's very common for labs to have virus samples and then publish later. And a pandemic killing millions is also an unusual event. The cause of an unusal event is by definition one or more unusual event(s). I am not sure exactly what you are arguing here. Speaking of unusual events, viruses routinely escape labs: https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2019/3/20/18260669/deadly....

Also, please present facts. Not some weird zoo and tiger analogy. Viruses are collected for research purpose in labs, not to sell tickets to general population to make money. And, research is by definition novel or _previously unknown_, if you will.

I'm older than you, living in a third world country. I've been reflecting on this since I discovered my privileges like you did. I feel like the poor state of my society comes from the fact that a large part of the population is constantly trying to survive. That state of survivorship is what makes a person make poor choices, harm other people and lose respect for themselves. Which makes those persons untrustworthy and explains the low level of trust in my society.

The author makes some good points here: devices and CAs are the most challenging part although I think it remains feasible for some types of companies(likely more so than at Google).

I was discussing about ZT with a friend recently and we were agreeing that one of the problems with the USGov memo (and most of ZT advocates) is referring to ZT as an "Architecture". The memo paints a picture of ZT as a destination whereas it really should be understood as a framework, culture and design philosophy. And that makes it, by definition, a journey. Its principles are supposed to guide your architecture design but they are not the architecture i.e there can never really be a point where you can call a friend and be like "Look at this, I've finally 'built' a Zero Trust Architecture". And you can't have a consultant come in and go back a few months later telling you "Alright, here's your Zero Trust Architecture". ZT has to be continuously entangled into your dev flow, ops, policies and day to day technical decision making.

I also suspect that another important missing piece (whether you look at it as a journey or a destination) is how to quantitatively MEASURE progress on Zero Trust. Having precise reference metrics would help in actually enforcing the goal of the memo or at least being able to tell that company A has a better measured ZT progress than company B.

I guess, like they say, "Zero Trust is like teenage sex: everyone talks about it, nobody really knows how to do it, everyone thinks everyone else is doing it, so everyone claims they are doing it."

They would have samples of every step of the experiments, which would also be perfect for faking the discovery of the missing link to the last known wild type.

> It's rare that an application needs more throughput than Postgres on modern hardware can provide.

Agreed, but it's extremely common to need more resilience and/or better multi-DC support than Postgres can provide, and if you've implicitly built your datamodel on Postgres' guarantees then you might find it very hard to migrate to something more distributable. Frankly true master-master HA should have been table stakes for any serious datastore for at least the past decade, as soon as it became clear that cloud was a thing or even before that. (Redis also falls down on that front in terms of what it offers itself, but it's much easier to migrate to something more distributable, IME).
The thing with the deceitful jealous shrew of a wife breaking up a productive (and dare I say, brotherly-loving?) company of men by lying about a sexual assault (a psychic cudgel that is still available to every woman) which in turn lead to the emotional downfall of one of the men into alcoholism, was so disappointing, and frankly, evil. I googled her and it also turns out she was an ardent Nazi supporter... Shocker.
> 60% of working Dutch women only work part time, versus 20% of working Dutch men

I would attribute this more to cultural aspects (there's something of a ravenmuter [1] issue in the Netherlands as well), but even more importantly, to basic economics. Kindergarden is very expensive, women get some maternal leave while men basically get none, so there's significant pressure on the mother to stay at home with the kids for longer.

When they return to the workforce after some years of childcare, they do so to lower salaries than they would have had otherwise, hence part time work becomes more attractive.

I don't deny that there's a natural tendency for women to be more nurturing, but I don't think that's the main force driving this disparity.

> Consider, for example, the obsession in Christian countries with equality. They almost fall over themselves to welcome people from different ethnic backgrounds. I suspect this has something to do with Christianity’s origins as a Jewish religion adopted by the Gentiles

My experiences are almost the complete opposite to yours, I suspect there are major differences between congregations that can't be applied to the nation at large. Churches in the US are weirdly segregated by ethnicity, at least in the south[0] where you find black churches,white churches, Korean churches, etc.

I am African, and had the misfortune of attending a church that's part of the Southern Baptist Convention. I got the distinct sense that they are warm and welcoming to people requiring charity or to rake on as a "project"; not equals. Almost everyone who saw me volunteer assumed I was a poor student at the affiliated Theological college, and would be very warm, but when I'd let them know I was a software engineer and much closer to them socio-economically than they had assumed, they didn't know quite how to act, it was weird,and it happened multiple times.

Trump's presidency was a bad time to be black in an SBC church. I never felt quite comfortable, and my faith intensely tested. It came to a head when I encountered incidents of passive and active racism[1],and I came to the conclusion that we could not possibly be worshipping the same God. Then again, the southern churches could reconcile Christianity and slavery, so perhaps all ethnicities are welcome, with the long-lived exception of blacks. YMMV

0. As a point of comparison: South Africa has more integrated churches, just 1 generation since the end of apartheid.

I think of all the famous brands that were once deeply loved by their customers:

Coke-a-Cola in the 1920s, and later

Cadillac in the 1940s and 1950s

Boeing warcraft during WW II, and commercial planes afterwards, much loved by pilots

The Sony Walkman of the 1980s

Marvel comic books in the mid 20th Century

DC comic books in the mid 20th Century

Johnson & Johnson baby powder, for at least a century

Coti perfume throughout the early 20th Century

Ralph Lauren in the 1980s/90s.

I could go on. I could make a very long list. There have been hundreds of brands who had a few decades when they were loved by their fans -- fanatical customers who were proud to associate with a given brand.

It is amazing to compare all that to the Facebook brand. The analogy to illegal drugs is a good one because, really, where else do you see a user base that uses a product this much, while hating the product?
"The text content in the third box is longer than the available space, so rather than maintaining the aspect ratio, the element expands vertically to fit the content... If we set an explicit height instead, the element doesn’t expand, but instead we get overflow"

Why? Why would you have different default behaviours if you have one of the dimensions set but not the other? Why would you not have this specified in another property, the overflow property perhaps? Oh look, lets define a new property and call it aspect ratio, and then lets ensure it doesn't maintain an element's aspect ratio if you have content that is going to overflow if you specify a width. This is what drives me mad about css, it's gotchas all the way down.

And threadlib.
I don’t get your argument at all. People want characters from their strings, and around the time Java decided on UTF-16 because at the time it seemed like the “right” way to do Unicode. What would you suggest they have adopted back then? Similarly C’s char type is named “char” because people dealt with ASCII back then and characters used to be a byte. It turns out that sucks but being able to do byte arithmetic is cool so it’s still around for that purpose (and C++ actually has added std::byte for exactly this; perhaps C will get it as well at some point). For Rust, this is just a thing about holding it wrong: the operation is generally not relevant, so why even expose it? It doesn’t make sense to allow for random indexing if you’re just going to crash on misalignment. It would be better to just have an API that doesn’t allow misalignment at all: see Swift’s implementation for example.
This is what I mean. What you’re describing can happen on the Mac because the sandbox isn’t always enforced, and you can also escalate an app’s privileges to full “root" capabilities if you enter an admin password during an installation.

On iOS this can’t happen, regardless of whether an app was downloaded from the App Store or elsewhere.
It's a balance. As they say, "aviate, navigate, communicate" in that order. Maybe they assumed the pilots were busy staying in control of the plane and waited for them to ask?

But on the other hand, we also have evidence that the power gradient on a plane is fairly strong and this means lower-ranked crew are less likely to report problems, as much as they try to create a culture where they would.
