>This article includes some essential details that are largely unknown to most readers: the US government not only severely restricted the ability of foreigners to even enter the United States based on ideology and national origin

Is there a country in the world that doesn't do this? I understand that some people want some sort of borderless society, but support for this is basically a fringe belief in every country.

>they also severely restricted the ability of Americans to LEAVE THEIR OWN COUNTRY, again based upon ideology and "race" (see the case of the Black American journalist whose passport was revoked because he dared to report from Cuba!)

It's worth noting that the courts have ruled that such restrictions were unlawful. Given that, it seems like the system was working as expected?

>The greatest triumph of the American system of doctrinal management has been the inculcation of the bedrock belief that "we live in a free society." We do not, and we never have.

The problem with this argument is that it hinges on the definition of "free society", and therefore any discussion over it is inevitably going to end up arguing over what "free society" means. It's trivial to make the same statement about other country that's allegedly a "free society". eg.

"Sweden is a free society."

"Actually no, how can you even claim that? They have hate speech laws which severely limit your ability to make unorthodox views on race/gender. Only the US (which has no hate speech laws) is a free society!"

>Would a "free" country jail its citizens at a rate FIVE TIMES HIGHER than the other countries of the world?

Perhaps, depending on how strongly it feels about crime. For instance, Taiwan has incarceration rate that's roughly twice of China. Does that mean it's not a free country? Or is a 2x factor small enough to let slide?

>Would a "free" country maintain police forces in every major city that are larger and more well-equipped than most national armies worldwide?

That sounds surprising until you realize that:

1. many metrics relating to size follow a pareto distribution, so not surprising at all that "major cities" in the US exceed the median country in some metric. For instance, if we look at GDP, we see that the median "country/territory"[1] has a gdp of 26.461 billion. If we compare that to data from the BEA[2], we see that there's a whopping 113 metropolitan statistical areas that exceed the median "country/territory" GDP.

2. "national armies" tend to be smaller than "police officers" in most countries, which make the criteria even easier to fulfill.

Thanks for explaining. It sounds like we agree that "OP is wrong because normal distribution is not a sufficient indicator for some underlying phenomenon". And that we're not sure that there's a "true distribution" of intelligence. But I don't know how you can then argue that "intelligence does not fall on normal distribution but rather on a skewed distribution". Again, how could we choose between calling skewed thing vs its log transform "intelligence"?
Mailgun and others also have a free tier for relaying smaller numbers of email.

I've configured Postfix to use it for fallback if I can't deliver directly.

I use Digital Ocean and seem to struggle a bit delivering directly. 60 emails this month had to be delivered through mailgun since direct failed. Their free tier is up to 1250 emails per month.
I'd be interested in learning a bit more about how you've integrated Tauri with video playback. I have a synchronised video player tool[1] that I've built in Electron for the e-sports community. When I was investigating technology to use to build it, I was really set on using GStreamer as I could share a clock between all of the videos to ensure the synchronisation was perfectly accurate.

Electron hasn't been too bad, I've been able to construct a quick prototype which will prove if people are interested in what it does. I'd ultimately like to build a native app though.

I noticed a strong correlation with being more comfortable talking especially to strangers after I quit coding. It took a while for my brain to rewire but it’s much better not being a coder anymore.

Based on my own anecdote of 1, I believe there’s a strong correlation between living inside your own head and feeling awkward in mixed scenarios.
What I'm saying is that all projects NEED to have a shared financial incentive in order to have any chance at becoming self-sustaining and encouraging collaboration. It's orthogonal to the quality of the product. Monetary incentives provide the baseline for survival of the project in our modern, godless society. Look at any popular OSS project which exists today and you will see a connection to big money. This is no coincidence.

It's hypocritical to suggest that this is dirty or unethical when the entire economy including all popular open source projects depend on these same kinds of financial incentives to exist.

The modern monetary system is corrupt to the core and yet it drives every single human interaction and every single collaboration. Let's not pretend it doesn't.
I would be very interested in any tips regarding improving one’s speech skills. I am way too prone to talking too fast to the point where I have sometimes trouble forming words and any like “I didn’t get that” makes me more anxious increasing my rate of mistakes.

But strangely it largely creeped up to me when I was around 20ish years old, while my teenage anxiety largely diminished.
I doubt it very much. I don't think you appreciate the fervent seriousness with which North Koreans (have to) revere their Kims. There is no room for levity there, and certainly not in the public sphere.

It would be up to the caller which knows the concrete type of the value getting passed as `any` to provide an interface object with a function pointer to the concrete instantiation of `Write[T]` for T=byte. If the immediate caller also doesn't know the concrete type, it would also get that from its caller. It's ultimately very fragile, since there are definitely cases where at no point in the caller chain does anyone statically know the concrete type (like if this value is pulled from a global variable with an interface type).

I think it would be terrible to include in the language because of the inconsistencies, but it is possible to make the two examples you listed as typical cases of interface->interface coercion work with generic methods, ugly as it may be.
What do you think about an uptick rule? It would cause a small tax on investments when the buyer purchases above the last known price, only on the delta between prior known price and the purchase price. Could be the last price or could be over a moving average or other high-water mark. The US already has similar rules at the federal level in force, just hasn't been applied to tricky a tax.

I get that people want to "tax billionaires" or have people pay an undefined and undefinable "fair share", and this wouldn't really tax people not trading aka the billionaires, but it acknowledges that the market - other people - cause billionaires to have so much notional wealth, which is light years ahead of the false dilemmas debates right now.

This would reach a goal of redistributing wealth along the way up, as the state is not currently getting any tax revenue from things that are not sold, and many billionaires borrow against their assets which also mitigates any tax event. This would at least create tax events as the price of assets go up.
The point is that there’s nothing superior about the present. There’s lots of present poor morality.

In fact, there are many things that violate present morality which are nonetheless right.

Drugs, drugs, drugs.

It's not about cheating or becoming dependent, although those are real concerns. But what drugs do, is to push you past a boundary that you would not otherwise cross yourself. They essentially help you realize and experience what it feels like to be relaxed, confident, mentally turned on, assertive, bubbly, etc. Once you feel it, you start to learn how to get there without the push. Although that does require self-awareness and introspection.

As some have mentioned, the safest and most effective one is alcohol. One or two glasses of white wine should do to start with. I personally find any hard liquor to be terrible in this regard. Personally, alcohol lets me keep a more natural eye contact and mellows my movements and facial expression.

Caffeine helps me think fast and be on, and it lifts my mood up and makes me talkative in social situations (sometimes a little too much). I've picked up techniques that helps me get there without caffeine.

I found phenibut to be an eye-opener when it came to feeling relaxed in muscles. Helped with my posture and breathing. Up to that point, I literally did not know how to loosen my abs and chest muscles to get a nice straight back. It even helped me walk more steady and confident. The confidence that comes from a good posture surprisingly translates into better social interactions! I only took phenibut once a week or so for a few months many years ago and stopped. The learning stays with me to date.

Beta-blockers have helped me stay chill under stress. I'm very prone to stress and panic attacks. This one's a quick fixer - haven't learnt anything from this one.

Magnesium also has a chill effect and it's something you can actually take on regular basis for other benefits.

As always, read about whatever you're about to try, thoroughly and only from scientific sources.

I'm really coming to dislike this type of article. It's vague platitudes rather than a practitioner who has earned scars and thus has the experience to describe the nitty gritty why and how beyond the vague recommendations.

For example:

1. Has the Userpilot team failed at building and MVP and succeeded with an MLP? If so what did they learn and why?

2. Lots of people have succeeded with an MVP approach. They describe a handful of things you can do wrong when building an MVP... but what if you DON'T do those things that they claim lead to MVP failure?

3. Digging into one of the recommendations - don't sacrifice delighters. They talk about how they wouldn't include the Asana unicorn in their MLP and end with "balance delighters with effort". Fine. But HOW do you do that? What framework can you provide ME to do that?

This smacks of a writer doing a Google Research Project to offer up hand-wavy advice. 0/10 would not recommend.

I don't think Python displaced Fortran in HPC as much as it displaced Matlab (and Octave) and R in scientific computing.

Displacing Fortran was a side-effect of that trend, as now it wasn't about productionizing Matlab code into Fortran, but Python could do general purpose computing adequately as well.

Yeah it’s counter-intuitive, and it’s because it does not make much sense.

Slowness is one thing, but the tooling is also clearly subpar compared to languages of the same popularity, the dynamic typing makes things difficult to maintain, the 2.7 vs 3 shit show etc. etc.

The very fact that many smart people have been saying for years that Python is a fairly bad tool for data analysis should at least raise some people’s eyebrows. But no, the entire field of data science has decided that it knows better…

Good for them.

You just confused two things, tips are not wages, if you get a tip that's a gratuity from a customer. The customer isn't paying to relieve the owners of paying [minimum] wages, they're giving a gift to the people who served them. The level of tip (your last sentence) has nothing to do with a person's wages, they either get a minimum _wage_ or they don't. Reducing their wage because they got a tip would be not paying minimum wage; it would also be callously transferring a tip from a worker to an owner.

If the owner wants to be richer stealing the tips is not the way, it's immoral for one. An owner should put up sales prices or have a separate 'jar' for "tips for the owner".

The thing we can all do is be kind. I had a college dorm mate attempt to kill himself over a holiday. He didn’t show any signs and frankly we his friends probably didn’t have the maturity bandwidth to be the solution as we too were teens. I’d say being kind helps.

This is related to why I abhor arrogance or any signs of holding oneself over others. It’s fundamentally unkind. If you truly are the Wisdom In Flesh Come Down From Heaven then you’re breaking your humble vow in any shows of arrogance. So be humble and show us all what you know. Let us learn from your actions and deeds. Don’t tell us your greatness or demand your authority.
This depends on the state. In California, there isn't a separate "tipped minimum wage". Waiters in San Francisco thus make at least $16.32/hr ($16.99 starting in July) plus tips.

Some restaurants are trying to replace tips with service charges or higher prices, because the back of the house (cooks, dishwashers, etc.) do not receive tips [1]. The current pay at a decent but not high end restaurant like Zuni is upwards of $70k/yr (the $35/hr mentioned in the article).

I'm presuming that by "AJE", you're talking about Al Jazeera English.

1. but you can get it over internet? I don't see why it not being available on cable is indicative of "freedom" (ie. government oppression)

2. according to wikipedia the only countries that have it "on cable" are: UK, New Zealand, Afghanistan, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Sweden. I guess every other country not on that list are not "dedicated to free information flows" by your criteria?
Tesla is not a public forum. I don't know what you expect the response to be for an employee that violates terms of service of their employer and posts public criticism about the company and product. Whats the appropriate response? If you got a job at a bank and posted on social media about how the bank is evil, do you think you'd keep your job? Have some common sense.

I think that's different than complaining about censorship (often at the behest of politicians) on ubiquitous public forums. And the rules are not clear and you may not even get an explanation. And all major platforms and even infrastructure providers like AWS more or less act in unison. I think it's a valid complaint.
>One of the big shortcomings of the principle of least privilege is the effort of carefully and precisely describing the privileges needed - see the complexity and quantity of SELinux rules for a whole system.

SELinux was a terrible thing to inflict upon the world. Capabilities are more like cash in your wallet.... you pick what you want to use in a transaction, and hand it over... never worrying that the rest of your money would somehow get siphoned off later.

Static rules aren't what capabilities are about. Run this program, oh.. it wants a file? Here... it can have this. The default access would be nothing (or in a more modern context, it's config file) The program wouldn't directly access files, but would use dialog boxes to do I/O, or you could drop them in via batch, etc.
They aren’t in all markets but there are heat pumps that use CO2 as the refrigerant that can make quite-high output water temps. They’re often used for domestic hot water. I haven’t looked too deeply in to them but IIRC they have COPs around 3–4. Sanden is one manufacturer, Mitsubishi and their Ecodan line is another.
It's still a big penalty, you're just changing who pays the penalty, when they pay the penalty, how often they pay the penalty.

Personally, I'm pretty happy that we have WASM at all, and I think there's a lot of work we can do (over the next years) to make interpreters that work well in WASM.
Worked for me too.

Note to readers, before you try it you should know the difference between ecstacy, molly/mandy and MDMA. The drug you want is MDMA. Do your research[0] and this drug will be safer than climbing a mountain or something (and way safer than alcohol). Very few people have actually died from this drug but you should understand why they died.

Semantic html isn't important for visitors reading the source code but for web crawlers, seo and for accessibility.

> They were guidelines to create code that was way more abstract than necessary and smuggled in a lot of terminology and concepts from print media

This is historically very wrong. Also, printing of html documents is still one of its major uses (e.g. any time you download a pdf of a ticket you buy).

I'm honestly baffled at how little care there is for well written html.

If you don't care about your applications being html, don't bother putting them into browsers at all, just go native.

Or if you really need the browser base, put everything in a canvas, why bother with xml?

> Professional web developers don't have time to create elaborate abstractions for the sake of making their code "semantic"

This attitude is how I end up having to decipher that a loop of divs is just a simple list, or have to decipher that some other weird div with complex onClick events was just an anchor (a link).

There's plenty of benefits from writing semantically meaningful html and "professional web developers" should care about those if they want to write maintainable quality products rather than the next overbloated 5 MB JS broken e-commerce.
> it's just that now you're redownloading it every time your browser updates

There's no reason browsers couldn't have a persistent cache for this. Think of it more as an integrated dependency manager and VM that just happens to use web infrastructure. No one would blink at downloading 20MB of dependencies anywhere else, after all.

If you can't make it work, don't ship it. Please. In this instance, not only the Terminal is broken, but also large parts of code analysis, task running, compiling, testing... essentially all but the editor. And this experience is essentially universal. The next app I installed had sync support that didn't work because the sync working directory was unwritable.

It makes me want to rip out flatpak from every system I see.

I really, really wish it were possible for wasm modules like this to be shared between sites. That is, python.org could host an official wasm module, and the first time you visited a site using python the browser would download and compile it once and cache the result, and then any other website could use python with no download size or load time penalty. But unfortunately privacy concerns killed this utopia. Caches are now partitioned per origin, so every site that uses python has to download and compile the wasm module separately even if it's the exact same module from the same place, and that is unlikely to ever change: https://developer.chrome.com/blog/http-cache-partitioning/
> But none of those drugs will result in the long-term change that you’re looking for

I mean, it literally did, and I stated as such.

Obviously the drug itself was not enough. The scenario and the realization afterword also mattered. But without mdma my life would likely have been very different.

Also, unlike cocaine etc. mdma isn’t addictive - taking more and more of it just results in you feeling shittier for longer.
You solve a problem in this space in an elegant manner. I have seen your product in action.

Interestingly, your space is part of a broader observability spectrum, so expect your tech and workflows to be copied by competition. The challenge will be when it is offered as a feature as part of a broader product by your competition.

As for direct competition watching your product, IMHO you should prevent it to an extent possible - particularly the closed-source (eg. UI workflows) part. It is hard to see someone else copy your idea even before you had a chance to make $$.
