>It assumes these Easter Island people were really dumb and irrational.

No it doesn't. It assumes a tragedy of the commons. Everybody who cut down trees did so out of rational self-interest. The same kind of thing happens even in supposedly advanced civilizations, e.g. with the Atlantic cod fishery. Coordination problems are hard to solve.
You're absolutely right. And that is precisely their charm to a mature mind.

When I described the titles as "unthinkable to the modern sensibility"
I was dodging mention of such topics as the "Physiognomy of the Pygmy
peoples" or "Universal suffrage by all necessary means" - which are
basically books on racism and terrorism, for example as espoused in
the works of Emma Goldman.

Old books are dangerous. Ideas are dangerous. Our modern ideas no less
so, and to claim otherwise is a "parochialism of the present".

But ones understanding of the world will be much richer, and intellect
fortified by at least knowing of these books and ideas, Otherwise we
may as well join the ranks of Firemen of Bradbury's 451 brigade.
This is journalism. They write a part of the story and the rest you must figure yourself.
Over-utilization of resources and inequalities are two related but distinct problems. Reducing inequalities will typically means more consumption and resources utilization.

Those two problems must be solved but solving one will probably amplify the other.
Oh I wasn’t pointing it out as a critical response to it being your thesis. I’m actually very interested to see how it turns out, because I’m digging into this space at the moment.

I’m trying to build a platform-agnostic styling language specifically for UI/UX designers, and it’s leading me down the path of “render everything via WebGPU”.

Is there a way I can follow your progress? Very keen on hearing more about your research if/when it’s ready.
Really, I thought pensions were required. I guess it's just so fiscally attractive that essentially every employer offers it. Combined with the pervasiveness of CAOs, especially among the more stingy sectors.
I don't understand. Does the diversity training teach you to treat people differently based on where you think they came from?
I think everyone in this discussion knows the weaknesses of leetcode interviews, but the disagreement comes from our priors on how bad the non-leetcode hiring process is.

At least leetcode puts the power to look good in the candidate’s hands. Just like the SATs, it’s not exactly fair to the people who can’t afford prep, but it’s more fair than the alternative.
I've seen these skills described as CQ (Cultural Intelligence), distinct from EQ or IQ. IMHO, it's the 3rd leg of the stool for effective intelligence in any non-solo endeavor.
In physics experiments, applying some dithering and demodulate to generate a error signal zeroing at zero derivative is a standard technique.
Pet peeve: James Watt was the Bill Gates of his day, he held natural industrial progress made by thousands of talented individuals back with patents and connections to the wealthy, please stop crediting him personally with the steam engine.
In the 90s I was given the task to make some changes to a shell script which provided a complete systems-engineer configuration management tool for country scale network management systems.

This shell script was 9,000 lines long. Each new "menu" after entering a number corresponding to your selection from a previous menu took 60-120 seconds to appear. Needless to say, configuring systems was a painfully slow process.

I quickly found it practically impossible to extend this tool to meet the new requirements, so I quietly rewrote it (also still in shell script, because of host limitations). The new version was 1,000 lines, and menu changes took < 2 seconds in most cases (thanks to appropriately placed caching).

Management was not happy that I decided to rewrite (since the manager had written it himself originally), but the users were ecstatic about the performance increase. I would not be surprised if that tool was still in use today.
> There is far less separation between data and how it's presented than there ever was with the "classic" editor.

This is not correct, surely?

Yes, if you're using FSE you're getting a template from that which is more or less a page. FSE replaces the header/footer/sidebar/widget area thing with an editable scheme.

That is, on one level, a big chunk of HTML -- but it is stored as a block graph (see below). And as far as I am aware the work has been done to allow it to produce HTML5 semantic tags?

There is an insertion point in the FSE template for content from hooks or the loop, which may or may not be returning block graphs. Post content can also now contain loops as created by query blocks, etc.

And yeah, Gutenberg stores as HTML internally.

But the distinction I am drawing here still holds.

The classic model was a blob of post content that was minimally post-processed to expand shortcodes. It didn't attempt to understand the HTML except in a minimal way to figure out if a shortcode should end up in a wrapper tag.

The rest of it was sent straight out into the page (after autop). TinyMCE then tried to deal with it, and had to recognise shortcode patterns. That is what I mean by a "blob": most HTML was handled in an unthinking, unprocessed manner. As text.

In the Gutenberg era they still do store HTML in post_content (for good reason) but it is in a form that can be serialised and deserialised into blocks -- it is not simply markup; it's a complete serialisation format.

https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/01/17/editor-technical-...

https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/explanations/ar...

And unlike in the Classic Editor era where the HTML is handed to TinyMCE for it to sort out, and then sent back and stored as whatever it submitted (minimally filtered), WP can now serialise and deserialise that information as a block graph in both PHP and JS, and there are hooks at both sides.

Yes -- the stored content can be rendered in its frozen form (and will be, by any theme that doesn't know about blocks).

But it can be processed as a block graph instead.

So in fact the data is being stored in a much more semantically accessible way; not only dumb HTML processed with what amounts to regexps.

The fact that it's _also_ effectively HTML in post_content rather than, say, JSON in a new column is a design decision to maximise compatibility.
Elon, restore twitter support of noscript/basic (x)html browsers.

How much it will cost worldwide? Does destroyed military base by hurricanes counts as a part of climate change budget, isn't it military budget?
This is a problem for high cost areas, as they end up lacking “support people” who are priced out. Cops, fire, teachers, med techs, nurses, daycare, …. All of the things that make the higher $$ lives easier, keep them going and teach the little critters. These end up with staggering commutes or just give up and move. So the techies just do without or pony up big salaries to keep them there.

But then people keep proposing solutions for this that’s get derided as unions or big government. Guess the FAANGs will hire their own staff to cover the gaps? Conservatism and libertarianism is great until you have to man the hoses.
I am assuming you are talking about the U.S.?

I can't really comment on the situation in the U.S., as I'm from Europe, sorry.

I just wanted to say, that I find it rather irritating how you are trying to put blame on "the current government". First of all, this makes the post feel politically motivated, rather than being a genuine question - secondly, if the depression you are describing is coming, then the root causes of it are highly likely to go back a lot further than just what one government did "the last few years". A depression that lasts for decades, typically also has has been in the making for decades before it's start.

And when it comes to the triggers that might start a long-looming depression - the pandemic (esp. money printing for stimulus packages), and supply chain crisis seem the most likely candidates.
I think compared with standard AAA batteries. _Everything_ looks better than them. My only concern is when this sulphur will catch fire, but why be so pessimist ?

Maybe we have different definition of fewer trains, because I wouldn't expect more than 10% at most, realistically 2-3%. And those trains are probably already 2-3%.
The idea is that for some particular new feature/behaviour/optimization your application has, instead of just coding it, code it in a way that can be disabled easily:

For example, I have some projects using using redux-saga, I'll do something like:

if (env.EnableSomeNewThing) {
yield fork(saga1)
}

So this behavior can be enabled/disabled using an env variable instead of commenting/reverting code from Git. Of course this could also be more sophisticated: enable via configuration, enable for a sample of the users, or premium users...
It's useful for figuring out when things happened, and for figuring out when I was last where, very occasionally for finding 'what did I do on a given day'.
Most of the wealth of billionaires is not cash, it’s locked up in their ownership of the companies they control. Elon Musk for example has 99% of his wealth in shares in Tesla, SpaceX etc. The only way to take that off him is to take those companies away and give control of them to someone else. It’s the same for Warren Buffett, the vast majority of his wealth is in ownership and control via BH. He sells some of that to fund his lifestyle and philanthropic efforts, but taking away his control basically means breaking up BH and selling off all it’s assets and management structures to fund the tax/confiscation bill. It's the same for almost all the wealthy.

Even for the conventionally wealthy, much of their wealth is in investments, so all those bonds and shares get taken and go where? Who manages them? Who makes investment decisions down the line? The current entire investment community can't, they've just had most of their assets taken away. So what you're talking about is the dismantlement of the ownership and management structures of huge swathes of the economy and what? Handing it over to who, civil servants?

It would of course also make it impossible for anyone to start a company and grow it to becoming large and successful, because as soon as it became significant, the founders would have ownership and therefore control taken away from them.
It was more when I was as a junior I was disabling the eslint rule on that line for console logs. I get your point though and you're right, thanks for reading.
Interesting! Perhaps it could even post a comment to an issue so people can subscribe to it.
I don't think we should strive to remake the galaxy for human comfort and desires, but instead strive to remake ourselves, to be better suited to the environments we inhabit.
I hadn't heard those terms before, thanks. I'll check those out.
The west has show no actual real plan for a long term replacement for the russian nor ukranian resources.

A wild illegal economy based on boats with the russian flag (nobody will touch them), has already arised and a steady flux of goods towards Russia is most probably being built as we see the war still going on.

So both sides of the coin still show no sign of intention of a real long-term change in the status quo.

i.e. look all that gas still flowing to Germany like nothing has happened at all.

The "big" war is still mostly a byproduct of analyst outcomes - yet serious, nor most probable for edge cases - and media war (hybrid war tough, is a reality, both sides are waging it).
yes - I'm really making the point that all these privately held funds and wealth that are ultimately owned by some people never seem to be part of the potential answer! Its always about socialising the risk and expense on to the shoulders of the masses - who have the least power or wealth! Funny that.
This implies that he sees value in Twitter.

The interesting question is whether said value is based on one of his insights/visions that most others seem to lack, or whether he is outright deluding himself because of his Twitter addiction.
Honestly, I'm astounded how good Apple got with it. And I say this at the risk of coming across like a fanboy which I'm definitely not. I'm very, _very_ rarely delighted by features that get pushed into my face, but the automatic categorization of "Moments" and unobtrusive integration into the UI is something I really enjoy a lot.

It really gets the mix incredibly well between editorial ideas (i.e. "Among the trees" with lots of very different adventures in the forest), machine learning aided curation (including cutting videos to cue scenes!) and overall format: Fitting, vibrant but non-annoying music in the background, the format isn't too short or too long. Plus, at the end you can choose between more pre-curated moments.

The privacy-preserving curation that just takes some background cycles on my mobile GPU while it's charging is the cherry on the cake and I think Apple really got a bullseye there.

I think it's more similar to learning to speak somebody else's language and not get lost in translation.
I like Terraform but I've grown to not fully trust its plan output.

There are lots of cases where you can plan something successfully without errors but then when you go and apply it you'll run into errors and now your infrastructure is in a half working state where some resources applied successfully and others failed.
If you're using CarPlay / Android Auto, try holding it rather than just clicking. It should then activate Siri / Google Assistant.
I think the best thing you Americans could do right now, is to stop trying to divide the country even further, stop shifting blame, but unite and work together to effect actual change.
As a guy with lifter's legs, I can recommend American Eagle's flex line jeans, whatever they're currently called by their branding department. They come in a wide range of sizes so you can easily match what you need, and also different fits. I used to have the problem you described and no longer do.
The drivers and conductors would like to end up at home at the end of the day. Even if you just run the normal schedule, there will always be disruptions, and there needs to be a system to adjust the planning so people and things end up at the right place at the end of the day. That was the system that failed. Have you any idea how frequent the trains in the Netherlands are and how complex the schedule? "Simply" running the existing schedule is an absolute impossibility.

About the only thing they could maybe have done was to fall back on back-and-forth shuttle trains between major node stations. But that would only provide a very basic service, with incorrect train materiel being used for the normally expected number of passengers. It would be just enough to get passengers and personnel home. I would like to see something like a pen-and-paper schedule that they can fall back on, but they don't have it. (They did something like that at the first corona lockdowns, although with more planning involved.)
Except that these seem to have been finished fuel pellets for the Alpha subs, subs with very hot lead-cooled reactors.
It was nice to read something optimistic again. Feels so rare these days. Seems like whenever optimism pokes its head out, everyone rushes to smash it back into its hole. There’s no room for your optimism in my reality! And so on.

edit: Hmm. I get a negative score for celebrating some optimism. How dare I step out of line.
All of them? I'd be sincerely interested in a list of problems AI has solved concretely.
At your link about the research done at Drexel University there is much more information about the structure of the cathode and about the obtained results, so it is more credible than the parent article, but it also refers to a research that does not appear to be close to commercialization.

They have used a slightly different cathode structure, with carbon nanofibers instead of nanotubes, and with a different electrolyte.

So, as shown by other posters, during the last couple of months there have been at least 3 announcements, from 2 commercial startups and from an university, all claiming to have solved the reversibility problem of the cathode in lithium-sulfur batteries, using either carbon nanofibers, carbon nanotubes or boron-nitride nanotubes, and the 2 startups claim that in a year or so such batteries may become commercially available.

Having 3 such announcements instead of 1, makes it much more believable that at least 1 of them is not overly optimistic, so indeed the lithium-sulfur batteries might replace soon the lithium-cobalt and lithium-nickel batteries, making the batteries much more affordable.
This highlights your ignorance as to what Qualified Immunity is [1][2], which is different than Sovereign immunity, or Statutory Immunity.

Government Officials would still enjoy differing levels of immunity in the course of their official duties, however qualified immunity specifically is a court created immunity that is a scourge upon the legal system that should be done away with. The legal system has methods to shield government officials from liability for doing their actual jobs, while not allowing immunity for abuse. Qualified Immunity simply shields government officials from liability for abuse

Without going into much detail, I needed to write a personal statement talking about events that took place in the course of three years, and Google maps storing my locations by the minute was very helpful. Example: I traveled to city A between two dates, I know I flew there then drove back. I knew I went to this coffee shop at a specific hour and stayed there for 43 minutes... Etc

My only wish is if I was self hosting all this and not relying on Google.
Elon Musk has bought almost 10% of Twitter shares, worth almost $3bn
Or because it’s just a trade that went above reporting thresholds
10M dollars cash? No problem, rich folks will just buy other assets and use them to trade.

If you mean 10M assets, then you will now have to estimate the value for a lot of things, including stocks. It will also take motivation away from founders and investors - why they take a big risk if they have an upper limit of roi?

I agree that the current inequality is a big problem, but your solution is certainly not a "simple answer" unless you accept potential decline of quality of life for everyone.

> You don't realize how huge an impact stirrups had to horseriding and by extension, civilization.

Yeah, but in all likelihood they weren't a mongol invention. The alans and avars probably had them five hundred years earlier, of perhaps the huns beofre them.
That is true, but it also allows for much more orderly start-up and shut-down as well as automatic recovery. A service is a pretty well defined entity that can be exhaustively tested far easier than the corresponding monolith with 2000 classes and tons of non-local effects. To use processes for that purpose has definitive advantages. See "Erlang/OTP" for an example of how this can give you incredibly solid distributed architectures.
I'm still forming my opinions on this, but I think I agree. There will be a web3 in terms of the next era of the internet, but it won't match this blockchain/NFT/metaverse vision that it currently describes.

This would also makes sense since it's near impossible to accurately describe a future that hasn't arrived yet. Few of us will predict it, but it'll all make sense in retrospect.
