if we go that route I think we would have to allow some time for other countries to arm themselves because they rely on US assurances, bases, weapons for their security. Right now a whole bunch of small countries are asking the US to have bases troops, nuclear weapons in their countries because all the conflicts going on.
>> Like why bother with the trouble of setting this up if I can just print a photo and have it unlock?

The question is - who are you trying to protect against?

Like, personally I'm worried about someone stealing my laptop. In that case, it's extremely unlikely the thief would have a photo of me to use to unlock the laptop. Yes my wife or my friends would have access to pictures of me in high enough resolution to print and use to unlock it - but I'm really not worried about them breaking in.

John Gruber / Daring Fireball has written several posts about FaceID, including:

> "(Quoting Stratechery) TouchID made it far easier to have effective security for the vast majority of situations, and FaceID makes it invisible. [...] the first time I saw notifications be hidden and then revealed (as in the GIF above) through simply a glance produced the sort of surprise-and-delight that has traditionally characterized Apple’s best products" - https://daringfireball.net/linked/2017/11/08/apple-at-its-be...

> "(Quoting Tom's Guide) I’ve been using Face ID on the iPhone X for more than 24 hours, and I don’t need a stopwatch to tell you that it unlocks my phone slower than when I was using Touch ID on my older iPhone 7 Plus". This is not a “workaround”. This is how you’re supposed to unlock iPhone X. Starting with a tap of the side button is not how you’re supposed to do it — you’re creating a two-step process where you only need one. [...] The best way to use Face ID is to pretend it isn’t even there, and just swipe up from the home indicator." - https://daringfireball.net/linked/2017/11/01/face-id-extra-s...

> "(Quoting Michael Tsai) However, Face ID also has advantages. It works with gloves on, with wet fingers, and with dry/cracked skin. It’s more convenient when the phone is in a dock or car mount where it would be hard to get my hand under it to put my thumb on the sensor." - https://daringfireball.net/linked/2019/03/01/tsai-iphone-se-...

> If it is well-intentioned, what was the intention... to dumb down math in high school?

Bingo. It's well intentioned, but the intentions aren't to ensure that America can keep up with a rising China.

It's shocking to me that people in California aren't more worried about this. About 15 years ago, I was talking to an engineer at Juniper/Cisco. We were joking about how Huawei had copied one of their router designs down to the silk screened assembly instructions (in English!) on the PCBs. Fast forward to today, Huawei is making fully custom equipment down to state of the art switch and router chips, and Chinese companies are white boxing lower end products made by American brands.

There's a big bet out there that the U.S. can survive on software and social media alone. I would think the success of Tik Tok would have blown even that rationalization out of the water.

On the general point of U.S. math education: my cousin who lives in a nice California suburb was complaining that the math education her early high school student is receiving is several grade levels behind what she got--in Bangladesh. My mom, who also went to school in Bangladesh (in the 1960s!) was deeply unhappy about the math education in our affluent Virginia suburb, until I got into a top STEM magnet high school. My own kids go to an expensive private school, but are still getting math tutoring on the side. Math is just a shockingly low priority for Americans.

You’re gonna have a bad time if you return a string_view to a locally created string.
The royal warrant system in the UK was very successful at promoting national business and culture, and I remember looking into tracking down some of these other european royals to stand up something similar for craftsmanship. The other use is they have convening power, where if they call, people answer, and toward peace and creating value, that's a huge benefit. That convening role has been taken up somewhat by celebrities, but celebrities don't offer dignity to people the same way nobility can. I can't defend the behaviour of any of them, but there is value in the roles they occupy.

The point of nobility is to be able to take risks for principles, and having royals around provides a basis for that. Another is what can only be described as our modern managerialists seem to offer everything to people except dignity, and royals can wield that. I'm all for republics when you can keep them, but I think setting royals up as symbols just to militate against is a bit coarse. They can provide a source of stability and continuity, legitimate convening power, and dignity for people who have earned recognition. Having nobles and royals around is more useful than I think most people realize.

Yes you were wrong, and and that other person was correct.

The point of all of this, is that they were trying to say the following, which someone else clarified as : 'if their use of scare quotes is to express doubt that "overrepresentation" is a good justification for discrimination'.

I think it is pretty clear that the original poster was saying something similar to that.

Multiple other people here are not interpreting the statement how you are interpreting it. So to everyone else, it was clear, and you seem to be the one mis-interpreting.

TFA gets where it going by defining "pessimism" in a way that makes TFA's conclusions correct. It doesn't seem to be concerned with nuance.

You can do the same thing in reverse with "optimism" by pinning that term to an extreme version of it, which is obviously going to be wrong most of the time, while making "pessimism" the milder outlook that happens to align better to reality. Straw-manning, basically.
Having a king didn’t help Italy too much. However Churchill probably had a point conservatives and monarchists weren’t really ever wholeheartedly committed to the survival of the Weimar republic. They might not had been as keen to undermine at every opportunity had it been ruled by a monarch. Then again , the nazis might just have turned the emperor into an impotent figurehead (as happened in Japan and Italy).
I’m not sure, but learning is certainly more than remembering things. Years ago I spent a lot of time typing CS things into Anki and practicing their recall. Eventually I realised that I didn’t really have a good understanding of half the things I was memorising.

Forgetting the politics of this for a minute, given 2 choices 1. Do Nothing 2. Take a drug that might not help but almost certainly won't hurt, why is option 1 the obvious and logical choice?

As someone who took both a stats and newtonian physics course before taking a calc course, I wish I hadn't. It was a waste of time. They can't explain why you use the formulas they do, they have to just say "trust us, and be able to regurgitate it on the exam". For me, learning means developing an intuition, which means resolving/building new facts from other facts I have already accepted. Being handed seemingly random formulas to memorize goes directly against this. Yeah, I can use my car without knowing how every piece inside works, but the moment something goes wrong, I don't know what to do. I would never say I am car-literate, and someone who hasn't taken calc cannot be stats-literate.

After skimming through a large portion of George Daniel's book "Watchmaking", if anything, I very much appreciate how complicated making a mechanical watch is, and even more so, how easy it is to get things wrong. From what I saw, you have to have a lot of tooks to make your own mechanical watch, and it would not be something I would want to do without someone skilled in the craft.

That is a long way of saying, I am confused on how making a mechanical watch is a "hobby"?

See [1] for the site's statement of purpose. It seems entirely dedicated to overturning the perceived current technological pessimism (or even fatalism). TFA seems to be justifying the sites existence by arguing that technological optimism is responsible for much of the "progress" seen since 1800 or so.

You clearly haven't been paying attention to the EU regulations. Because it is exactly in the spirit of them and what Apple did in response to Dutch authorities demanding third payment providers [1]. They got their 15-30% either way.

And it is completely normal for Apple to have a commission on application purchases made on their platform. It's no different to how many websites e.g. Shopify or hardware e.g. Playstation work.

It's true we can't "really" know. But I would bet a lot of money that republicans would be severely disadvantaged without an electoral college. Not much would change. The nation would still be 2 party. We'd simply have a president elected by popular vote like every other (senators, reps, etc.)

Strategies can change but that doesn't mean the current system does not significantly benefit one party over another.

The very existence of the senate is a blocker to true democratic rule and for good reason. But I don't think changing the election of the president to one person gets one vote would usurp the current system. It's simply more fair. But of course more fair is not what any party truly wants.

the vets here in Arizona say that of course cats are vulnerable to stings, but people claim that cats are "immune" because they heard it from someone else, not a vet.

Anyway, the veterinarian told us that cats are generally so fast to notice and slap the shit out of scorpions that they kill scorpions...without being stung.

One of our feline family members got stung and let out a big OWWWWWW then was licking her paw for quite some time, and this was a bark scorpion. Other times she's slapped them to squish them.

> Unifying around freedom makes sense to me. Unifying around fraternity sounds entirely circular.

If fraternity were the only goal then I would agree with you. "Working together to achieve the goal of working together" doesn't make sense. But it does make sense for a society to identify fraternity as a core value, since it is a principle which is applied when trying to achieve other societal goals.

> Military service doesn't sound like a way to unify the world -- who is the enemy?

The enemy could be anyone who is working against that unity. Alternatively, if the consensus towards unity is so strong that no one ever tries to use violence against it, then the military could be devoted to humanitarian causes like disaster relief.
You can expect very long term growth by expecting sequences of very short growth. It's even reasonable to reassess what those sequences are at every point in the sequence. We don't get long-term growth by believing a plan for 2010 in 1960 and committing to it. If we did, I'd have some nice moon land in a colony to sell you.

(This is a critique of the idea that very long-term growth comes from believing science fiction expressed in the article.)
Rails is still relevant.

It's tricky more generally to see if a technology is still relevant because there is so much hype of new stuff in web development.

They refuse to define "woke" because when they try it sounds as ridiculous as "you can't teach that George Washington owned slaves just because it's true!"

Bridgerton is "woke" for two reasons:
1. Like the extremely lucrative romance novels it is adapting, it doesn't care what men think of it & the female characters are the protagonists
2. It includes interracial relationships

That's it. To the anti-woke crowd celebrating Musk's purchase of Twitter, romance = bad, racism = good and any media that disagrees is "woke".

Did someone ever work out the relevant academic theory that describes this linguistic process?

A word starts out as neutral, but gradually transitions to becoming a slur (a process that seemingly takes decades), and is replaced by a new politically correct word which is seen as too avant-garde at first, but gets established in part due to a lack of push-back (because any criticism will make the person levelling it seem a bigot/racist/ass), and eventually that becomes the default word, until it starts sliding into slur territory and the cycle starts anew.

I'm not sure if this process can actually be prevented.
