To ask the question misses the point entirely and demonstrates the malfunction; In the presence of what I claim to be this optimal regime of information restriction which has concealed instances of what I am seeking to be informed of, inform me of these instances.

To cite just a few obvious examples from the past few years of social media censorship to cover up things the special interest groups in control of social media would rather have concealed; COVID Lab leak evidence, Hunter Biden laptop, Metabiota links, Ukraine Gas company positions, bribery being passed back up the chain, Daszak and EcoHealth alliance activities, etc. I know that all of these were vigorously attacked and suppressed over the past few years, and most people either knew nothing about them or believed them to be entirely false due to that active suppression, and they made critical life-changing decisions which altered the trajectory of the political and economic realities of the entire world based on those outright lies.

And here we sit, raising them as examples for somebody who started from a position of claiming they were unaware such things even existed because of their vaunted and optimal information control regimes. Whether you react with an admission that you were clearly wrong or doubling-down on it because you dislike the implications of the above is once again beside the point; Censorship of this kind is absolutely unacceptable and intolerable. It is a wholesale license for the censoring parties to sculpt the views of everybody to that which best serves the censoring parties interests. Nothing more, nothing less.
I particularly like blogs where people write detailed tutorials about how they achieved something. This creates a lot of value for others trying to learn and achieve similar things.

If there was only some way to aggregate such blogs and rate them with respect to quality and expertise level... that would be a platform I would use. Sites like dev.to go a step in that direction but there is also so much bad content on there.

> He says what he saw was an industry that didn't want recycling to work. Because if the job is to sell as much oil as you possibly can, any amount of recycled plastic is competition.

Key quote, which nails the key question. Does recycling not work or was it intentionally and turned into a culture war topic in America, while many other nations just got on with it.

And now the same industry, is using their own shady moves in the 70s, to undermine and stall further regulation.

This is like quoting fossil fuel industry internal documents about how renewables can never work, and their ads pretending they were going green, to undermine renewables as a scam.

It's a game, one I don't play, but if you ruin kid fun of course you'll get eyerolls... regardless of your background.

My recovery is just to own it, and say that I may not believe anymore, but "I'm proud of you sweety for believing". Kids won't take that as condescending cause the notion of Santa disbelievers is built-in.

I think my kid flat out told their friends at pre-school that Santa Clause died. Which lead to some very interesting conversations. We watched the cartoon film Klaus on Netflix (would recommend) and that's how they internalized it. =)
for comparison, I imagine we put together a team of the best teachers and try to bring up 30 pupils with good education.

When we evaluate the pupils in the end, we have this dry conversation - did we bring up any geniuses? Are they just interpolating between different styles that they have learned?

I think that in the case of the 30 pupils we would say that they have creativity, ingenuity, showing signs of thinking for themselves. It would not be as ambiguous as it is with Dall-E2's art.

The Competitive Programming Debate
Google does just that (Android and Chrome OS). *NIX hardware vendors used to do just that for Unix. Silicon Graphics and Sun for example.

What you need is large hardware vendor (like Apple or Google) that takes Linux and really polishes the userland, UI, hardware drivers and curates and integrates all software. All drivers work for their hardware and UX as well for select number of devices. If the software is free, you need hardware sales because all that is expensive and tedious work.

It takes large teams to pull that off. Even big companies like Dell or Leonovo don't see enough profit to do that. They put in some money and resources but not enough to go the last mile. Small Linux companies like System76 don't have resources.

61% of the deaths are of the elderly (> 70 yo) unvaccinated. 69% of the deaths are of the elderly (> 70 yo) with 0 or 1 vaccination doses. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/wr/mm7115e1.htm Table 2

The numbers you listed may seem scary at face value but viewed in the right context including compared to other mortality risks like flu and inhumane lockdown conditions where some people run out of food and other basic supplies or turn suicidal, the numbers do not support the conclusion that lockdown is the best way forward.
"Immigrants" is still a humane term. H1Bs are called as "temporary alien workers".

I have the absolute opposite reaction when filtering resumes. I just want something plainly written on 1 page so I can get a feeling for your career. Why do I care if you can format a document in a pretty way? Has literally nothing to do with what a resume is which is explaining your experience and why you would be a good fit. Filtering by style seems like a great way to filter out great candidates

There's a wider issue around any cloud SAAS offering. You really need to keep local copies of stuff if you want to be sure you can reproduce your build. As there's a chance, even a good-natured cloud provider will be forced to take something that you rely upon down.
I also did this, but it's so hard to find lasting stable relationships, within 6-12 months it's always a different team somehow. In that case you feel double screwed if you compromised on salary and then the awesome team disbanded and you're left with a shitty team and a low salary.

Better to go for the high salary which you know will be stable, and will always "work" in the sense of giving benefit to your life. And take any awesome colleagues as a random happy accident and a pure bonus.
I think it is more. I see people who make a simple website for a small family guesthouse voluntarily add all kinds of scripts that give them not a lot but send a ton of data to the big players.

Typically the reason is, that they don't know how to do it any other way.
In aegyptus they'd be sort of right. The Egyptian ruins were as old to them as Roman ruins are to us.
As a naive non parent I'd like your opinion here.

I can see the truth in "children are developing and during that development they're more suseptable to be hurt by things we consider arbitrary as an adult", but the article raises the big question of what is the responsibility of the parent here? Children may be more or less sensitive, but doesn't the core thesis of the article, that it is the responsibility of a parent to be honest (+open and truthful) a good basis? Isn't that kind of relationship an excellent basis and foundation for the child when approaching all other relationships?

Tried Bluey? I describe it as a positive family sitcom. There are lessons to the episodes but they do a great job integrating them into the stories. I enjoy watching it on my own.

Unfortunately, only Season 1 is on DVD in the US. If you have Disney+, you can watch 1 & 2. No idea when season 3 will be released in the US.
What do you feel the "choice" with vaccines was? So even if they overlooked the politics/"optics", I don't think they could go to the Western pharmaceutical companies and just ask for 3 billion doses. With boosters it's looking like there isn't enough vaccine capacity for the world as it is. I don't think there was ever a real alternative other than a "zero covid strategy"

What seems strange is that they haven't been able to quickly make an mRNA vaccine of their own. Supposedly South Africa has managed to pull it off, and I'd guess China has a much more advanced research/production capacity. Though it's also very possible it's happening and I just haven't heard of it :)
Shit on your own country? What does that even mean? The place you were born by chance? Now you have to “own” it as an identity? Do you have the same beliefs about government? religion? caste? race? I suggest you try freeing yourself of such burden.

I don't think it's fair to label the failure of checked exceptions as "beginners didn't understand". It's the fact that returning null was deemed an acceptable return value on some types of failure throughout the standard library, rendering the whole idea basically moot since it didn't actually give you much guarantees.

And later on, checked exceptions were incompatible with new stuff like lambdas and streams
Everyone here is commenting on Covid, vaccines, social policy and
whatnot.

I can't help but see a different, bigger and human story here.

It's about how the systems people erect around themselves turn against
them. Gated communities whose guards become jailers. Convenient fast
food delivery systems that become tools of rationing and siege. News
and communications systems turned to propaganda and social control.

Meanwhile the only good vibe in here is the person-to-person charity
and sharing that occurs amongst the "prisoners".

We should look at this and learn a very important lesson as
technologists.

A hard lockdown being needed at this late stage in the pandemic signals poor decision making more than anything. Why aren't their elderly widely vaccinated, and why are they still relying on their significantly worse domestically made vaccine?

> the userbase is not relevant for this.

The userbase size and transaction volume are both directly relevant to any particular signal being able or unable to be disambiguated from the others. This seems to cut across your point.

> I could also question the actual userbase of blockchain-based cryptocurrencies when so much of the transaction volume seems to be rooted in speculation and scams rather than someone buying groceries in BTC.

This is immaterial in the context of the debate we’re having about anonymous or pseudonymous transactions being good for those that use them.

I wouldn’t expect those who don’t use products or services to somehow confer the benefit of using or having them. That doesn’t make any sense. So obviously the users of cryptocurrencies receive the utility of cryptocurrencies’ existence and functionality.

> I don't think the specifics matter so much, it suffices to say that there are some. These properties make it easier to launder money and evade taxes, for example.

Bad acts don’t make inert implements bad by proxy or association. Folks do bad things to each other and to the environment directly and through externalities. That’s what hypercapitalism, society, geopolitics, resource extraction, and hypernormalisation have wrought.

You can’t lay the costs of doing business at the feet of cryptocurrencies. Crypto didn’t start the fire of capitalism. It’s sharing the fire with the commons, and combining that light and heat to feed the new cryptoculture.

Hmm, interesting. As for spec, I use it in production, despite its shortcomings. And I think some of the shortcomings require very careful thinking and design, so I guess I'm fine with the authors taking their time.

The short version is that Google gave up on Germany because of the mass phenomenon of people requesting to have images their property blurred. So Google decided that Germany is not worth the effort. Even the existing images haven’t been updated in more than 10 years.

Have you looked at Rust? The Rust embedded ecosystem is still a bit immature, but there is whole ecosystem of std-lib free libraries - some specific to hardware, others generic implementations of useful functionality.
Good lord. Have you ever made anything that explored "the potential of the medium" as much as this? What makes you feel equipped to call its creators "stupid"?
I write fairly compulsively. I really can't not write. If I'm gonna write a bunch I might as well publish it somewhere. I don't really get anything out of it more than what I got out of the writing, but I think that's a fine state of affairs.

I don't know who reads what I write. I have no trackers or comment fields, it's just like sending a message in a bottle. I know some read it, because sometimes they email me with questions or comments. But that really isn't the point of the writing.
Only because HK's elderly are not widely vaccinated, and also because Sinovac makes up about half of their vaccinations and this vaccine is not as good at preventing mortality. A very similar situation to Mainland China, actually.

So the question still hasn't been answered. Why is Mainland China insisting on pursuing this inferior strategy? The hard-lockdown zero-Covid low-vaccination approach has been shown to be inferior to the alternative approach of ensuring 99% of the elderly are vaccinated with Pfizer or Moderna, and then allowing society to open up once this is achieved. My understanding is their vaccination rates haven't gone up much since this outbreak started, which signals that they are not intent on changing course.
I agree with telling kids the truth about factual information and being honest, absolutely, but no, fairytales for me are crucial cultural heritage. They also have numerous practical social bonding functions. It's the same with little tricks and practical jokes.

Kids need to understand the difference between fantasy and reality. They also need to learn how to evaluate information, interrogate a problem and how to come to their own conclusions. Figuring out that there isn't a Santa Clause is a seminal experience for kids that IMHO they need to come to themselves, or at least that they benefit from doing so independently.

I was discussing this with my daughters just a few days ago. One day when she was about 5 my eldest said she would like some fairy dust from the tooth fairy instead of money in return for her latest tooth. I told her to write a letter to the fairy and leave it with the tooth under her pillow. I then took a sherbet sweet, ground it up into fine powder, peeled some toilet paper into a single layer, cut it into a small square and bound up the sherbet into a tiny bundle using a thread. It was about 5 millimetres across. The look on her face when she found it was priceless.

She's now 18 and we talked about it. Things like that are important bonding experiences, it's part of the fun of growing up, developing a sense of humour, and absolutely not at all the same sort of thing as lying or real deception.

In the examples int eh article the parents were untruthful in order to coerce compliance, or to make their lives easier. The were being deceitful in a selfish way and the kids were rightly outraged. That's completely different from a shared story or fantasy, and I think that kids that don't learn that difference and appreciate it are missing out on something really important and valuable.
If I am okay with the way the other 95% live around the world, I do not see any reason I would be bothered by the way the other 95% have to live within an arbitrarily delineated portion of the world.
Try testing startup time (yes it matters) of old software (on current machines) compared to new stuff... even web pages are slower than that most of the time.
IMVHO the author miss a point: there is no single actor, even in already developed and strong regimes. Any actor run it's own propaganda, sometime positive sometimes negative, sometimes both: yes, that's another commonly ignored point, sometimes there are campaigns apparently against those who pay the campaign.

People change slowly in general and there are many ways to force a change, sometimes the change have some positive aspects for all, not only negative etc the world is vast.

Another point is that we do not know really the mass of the population, we see and know a certain set of cohorts, but not the whole, PRs know better especially in surveillance capitalism era. So some campaigns are stupid but for a certain cohort distant from us and not necessary marginal such stupid campaign works.

Why making apparently negative campaigns? Because their target goes behind the campaign itself, for instance a government know of a looming crisis, simulating a political crisis now, a quick one, that put some expendable inside the actual government in a bad position, saving others, then bring up a new government by their adversaries that inevitably fell in the looming crisis is a classic. You wait few years and you opponent have a ruined reputation for far more years to come. Another is just play victim, sacrificing a subordinate sold as disloyal to avoid taking the fault, just saying "my very terribly fault was having trust a disloyal, criminal, evil man hidden in my staff".

Also people have no memory, most do not remember nothing longer than few years in the past, so repeating the same scheme means creating an illusion of a change while effectively something change but the rest remain absolutely the same.

Well, it can’t. It’s just illegal to do that.
