Amtrak hasn't built much new rail. Amtrak maintains its rail and rolling stock and buys new rolling stock. Most of Amtrak's rail routes were originally made by the private rail companies that owned American rail during the Industrial era. Even the lines leased by freight rail was originally made by private rail companies. These companies were going bankrupt and the US government created Amtrak as a holding company to deal with selling off or winding down existing rail assets.

The consumer inflation was around 6% before the Ukraine conflict started in March. Its understandable that oil price hike is caused by sanctions on Russia and will affect other commodities too but blaming all the inflation on solely Russia-Ukraine conflict is nothing but a blame game and inability to take control of the situation by WhiteHouse.

> My first attempt uses the small alpine image, which already packages thttpd:

# Install thttpd
RUN apk add thttpd

Wouldn't you want to use the --no-cache option with apk, e.g.:

RUN apk add --no-cache thttpd

It seems to slightly help with the container size:

thttpd-regular latest 655febf218ff 41 seconds ago 7.78MB

It's a bit like cleaning up after yourself with apt based container builds as well, for example (although this might not always be necessary):

The year was 2003 and I was in my second year of CS undergrad. I saw a cool utility in AOL instant messenger that recorded the username of every user that looked at your profile. I cloned it and added it to my profile. A few of my dorm mates liked it and asked me to put it in their profile. Even more people came asking and I made a simple website (buddytracker.us) where you could add the utility to your profile. I did no marketing but every profile using buddytracker had a hotmail like link to get your own profile tracker. The first month I had 30 users, the second 500, the third 5000, then 50000. The following year 3 million people had added a profile tracker. It was a life changing experience allowing me to pay off my student loans, travel and take a non-traditional career path. I work on side projects to this day and AOL is where I got my start.

> But the critic still has to be within the ballpark of popular tastes if the expectation is a mass audience that really trusts their recommendations, right?

Not really. A professional critic usually writes a longish review describing the item and why they liked or disliked it, as well as the conclusion. If they are good at description, that's useful to me even if I don't share their likes and dislikes. If they hate things I love, then I can look for their negative reviews as places to start. If they love things I hate, their seal of approval is a good sign for me to keep walking. I can trust their recommendations even if I don't follow them, if I think they are fair and honest and have consistent opinions. If their opinions blow with the wind, I probably won't trust their opinions, even if they agree with mine.

I found Anthony Bourdain trustworthy, but I do not like a lot of the dishes that he really did (no thanks to organ meat and blood sausage), so I wouldn't blindly follow his suggestions.

Craigslist is still thriving? I don't know anyone who uses Craigslist to list stuff for sale now, FB Marketplace seems to have taken the majority of traffic.

Total monthly visits is also down half from 2017. I believe the golden days for Craigslist are over.

On average, unionized workplaces are much safer with higher-paid and happier workers. It is also illegal to close down a facility to prevent or in response to workers forming a union. Workers in labor unions have reported being happier than non-union counterparts for years now.

The US Border Patrol encountered over 100,000 attempted illegal crossings every month in 2021. It's estimated that each year somewhere between 500,000 and 1,000,000 people cross the border illegally without being caught or overstay their visa. There are nearly 50 million foreign born persons in the US total, about double the rate per capita of Europe.

Europe is on the same demographic trajectory - the current statistics put Europe where the US was in the 1990s. Focusing on unions as an example, since the 1990s, the US has lost approximately half the union membership rate in the private sector. This is in part due to immigration and in part due to offshoring, both mechanisms serve to weaken the power of the domestic worker.

You may be right that "race" isn't perfectly well defined, but socially and culturally it does exist and it plays a role in how people act. For example, even in highly diverse and progressive places you find clear racially segregated patterns of residence, with major downstream effects in areas like education, employment and healthcare. This is true in both the US and Europe. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on that phenomenon.

It's quite interesting that we do not consider the collateral damage of sanctions to be evil like we do with airstrikes.

I personally found the improvements between the original iPhone and iPhone 6/6s or especially the X much (of course it took 10 years so I’m stretching it a bit..) much more impressive than the step up from an Symbian/Windows smartphone to the original one.

>if I print money to build a new port...

This is where the argument breaks down in my view. You cannot effectively centrally plan an economy. Granting these special favors for pet projects creates malign incentives. Those who are closest to the money spigot benefit disproportionally as compared to those who receive the newly printed money later. See also: Richard Cantillon.

The decentralized market price discovery mechanism is disrupted by the malign incentives created by the money printers. Even if central planners could acquire enough information to effectively plan an economy, the problem of corruption and malign incentives remains.

That said, central planners cannot effectively out-compete the decentralized price discovery mechanism of a generally unhampered market. They are limited and fallible bureaucrats, where the market participants are legion. Institutional group-think is yet another obstacle.

Finally, even if you could conclude that your centrally planned port was not a bad investment, can you measure the cost of lost innovation? The opportunities not taken by the market because capital was misallocated by central planners for a port?

For me the best thing about Chromebooks are the tablet experience (either 2-in-one or detachable keyboards). Specifically, the fact that touch screen isn't implemented the same way a mouse is, but gestures work the way you expect (i.e., swiping on a browser window scrolls it instead of selecting text like a mouse would). Also, the browser is a desktop style browser instead of tablet / phone style. And once they included the ability to run Android and plain Linux apps, that made it much more useful. Still not a full PC / laptop replacement for all my use cases though, but a nice accessory.
"Coelho landed on the radar of U.S. authorities in June 2018, when he tried to enter the United States at the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta.

Not really the sharpest knife in the drawer, to do things like this and then to go holidaying in the USA with incriminating stuff on your person...

Story time:

A guy I met who did stuff that may have come to the attention of US authorities was on a plane that got diverted to the USA for a medical emergency. The guy obviously got very upset and needed to go to the bathroom, urgently, on the way there he spotted a mate of his. They didn't like each other much but got to talk for a while and they both agreed that this was the end of the line. They both expected to be arrested upon landing because the passenger manifest was shared with the US authorities because of the overflight. The one remarked to the other: 'spending the rest of my life in jail is bad enough, but now I'm going to have to spend it with you and that is so much worse'.

The person who had the medical emergency was taken off the plane to go to hospital, the flight continued on its way, no disembarkation, no checks, nothing.
As you know, the evil maid attack is something different. It's better to be precise and not give a false-sense of security to readers who may be less informed about this subject.
If you think prices are going up with a corresponding increase in disposable income, you need to explain how this is possible at all. I don't think it's impossible, but it certainly is incompatible with an often-cited theory of inflation.
This is a result of theirs and others' complete lack of understanding of what "privilege" means in the context. It is certainly a "both sides" kind of issue, where those with privilege think that their current standing is not commensurate with the having of privilege, as well as those who interpret it as these people need to give something up to make up for their leg up.

Some fair points here. The differences that I've experienced have generally seemed very positive and it feels like significantly less boilerplate than Java.

As for Tony Hoare's billion dollar mistake, I'm not sure if you've seen the information about Sound Null-Safety[1], but it's actually one of my favorite features about the language. Static analysis in Dart feels a little bit like Rust in that as you write code your IDE can provide smart suggestions and bugs are often found as you write instead of when you compile.

Finally, I'll take the pub.dev[2] toolchain and build system over anything out there today besides Cargo. Plus, compiling to a single executable file without any dependencies that have to be installed on the deployment target is great.

"There are many better Java++ languages out there."

Any in particular you'd suggest? I'd definitely give it a shot if it blows Dart out of the water!

The concrete things you're mentioning don't sound unreasonable.

Zero as we know it -- and all our numerals and base-10 system -- were developed in Hindu mathematics, used by Arab traders, and carried to Renaissance Italy by an Italian. And its sources were acknowledged at the time. That's quite a compelling story.

"The method" of Al Jabbar -- algebra -- is another important thing.

And a great deal of mathematics was developed in ancient China, (though Chinese culture has never tended to spread so much). This fact is now remembered in such phrases as the "Chinese Remainder Theorem", but to delve deeper into this history could be good.

So there's plenty that could be reasonably included in a curriculum, which would improve that curriculum.

There's also no denying that Euler and Gauss were absolute powerhouses, or that a lot of early-modern mathematics was developed in Europe.

(As you get into more advanced physics, you start to see more Japanese names, too. Things that developed a little later.)

So all that's fine.

The problem is this: This phrase "de-colonization" is so hugely and dangerously loaded that it refers to much more than all of the above.

Decolonization is Ugandans seizing Indian businesses and threatening to make concentration camps.

Decolonization is Partition, with mobs beating Muslims to death.

Decolonization is farm-killings in South Africa. It is an ANC that, far from speaking of a harmonious Rainbow Nation any more, is now openly making threats of violence on the campaign trail.

Decolonization is -- well what is it?

It means: White people leave. It means those who are not "indigenous" leave. It's a word with very strong overtones of ethnic cleansing.

It makes a certain amount of logical (if horrific) sense when applied to the Americas or Australia. Presumably all those people could be killed or sent back to Europe.

But what could it possibly mean when applied to the UK itself? Conquest?

Is it necessary to use such a violent concept to describe the creation of a rich, historically interesting, and cosmopolitan mathematics curriculum?

It isn't.
I’m not suggesting it has value to everyone. I’m suggesting it has value to the people who see value in it.
