About the cuban treatment. Late Pierre-Victor Mpoyo[1] went to Cuba for this treatment. Mpoyo was a billionaire, and he had means to the best available services in the world--ranging from France, USSR, USA, etc. As the 'western' treatments didn't help him, he went to Cuba.

It would greatly help if there were some text in the upper left saying that there is a large diagram on the page but you may have to zoom out or scroll to see it.

All that shows up on an iPad at normal zoom is a white page. I waited quite a while thinking maybe it was just generating something client side and that was taking a while before I noticed that there were scroll bars (both vertical and horizontal) on the page and their thumb size indicated I was only seeing a tiny fraction of the page.

I have a pro-cons list about immigrating to Canada.

Why Canada ?

- Getting a masters level education is much cheaper.

- Immigration has less hoops to jump through. Specially if you are willing to live in the Atlantic side.

- Great government and social benefits

- I heard people are generally nicer.

Why not Canada -

- TAXES! TAXES! TAXES!

- Canada is essentially the money laundering heaven [0] of North America. So buying a house and being in the so called "middle class" is a nightmare.

- I believe that there is no middle class in Canada but I could be wrong as an outsider. If you are making money within a specified range that supposedly makes you an middle class individual, it is best to find shelter in government assistance programs because the income taxes are so brutal. I could be wrong, and I hope I am wrong.

- American LCOL salary even if you live in Vancouver or Toronto which is HCOL.

- If you want to earn big bucks you have to open an LLC and start contracting, which I believe requires a Canadian citizenship. I don't think you can open an LLC with a PR. Doing contract or remote work often requires an LLC.

> And it's a life where I am forbidden to do useful things that others want me to do and I am willing and able (which is not always, or often) - just because someone said "you did enough in this arbitrary period of time, give us your money or don't do it at all".

No you're not. You're free to do whatever you like. You just won't receive as much money in return as you would otherwise have done.

> From the beginning where people "should earn less so we are equal" to the end where it's "perfect that engineers work less"

To be clear, to the extent that there is a difference, I think that people with high earnings should be taxed more not that their nominal income should be lowered or restricted. And I think that it would be good if people had the freedom to choose to work less while still earning enough to comfortably live on. If you want to continue working as much as you currently do then all power to you. It was you who said further up the thread that would choose to work less.

> It's also dangerous and tiring the opposite attitude in the Linux world

You're literally saying that not arbitrarily changing the file structure of linux is dangerous. I don't think that's what you meant.

It's not about "because it's been that way for 30 years," even though it's been 50 years, but never mind that, it's about consistency and standards. It just does not matter one way or the other what the structure of the file system is, so any agenda to change something that doesn't matter is itself a specious agenda. Changing fundamental design introduces complexity for no good reason. As soon as you do it, you've create a special case that doesn't work anywhere else and jeapardizes compatibility.
I think this is kind of a fallacy. While it's true in short term, in long term more energy sources can be always built, because there's almost unlimited amount of renewable energy available. Demand for electricity increases new investments, expands capacity, and drives costs down. It's not a zero-sum game in the long run.

Also, like I said in the other comment, most of grid energy is already too expensive for Bitcoin, so mining really makes sense just for any extra capacity which wouldn't have a buyer anyway.
I would still suggest, anecdotally, that Google Maps is a bit more up to date and comprehensive over Apple Maps. However, that has narrowed a LOT over the last few years, to the point where I really don't worry about it much. I prefer Apple Maps' interface, smoothness, etc. over Google Maps. GMaps is still a good app and a great mapping/directions tool but being in the Apple ecosystem, Apple Maps works about as well (or close enough that it doesn't matter much, at least to me).

>a border guard who is having a bad day.

This is not to be understated.

I was born a US citizen. Last time I entered the country, officers faked that a dog had alerted "on my anus", forcibly strip searched me, and fabricated a story that plastic baggies that they suspected 'could be drugs' were coming out of my ass.

I was shackled and cuffed and dragged around the state of Arizona for 16 hours while publicly paraded in Hospitals, including the waiting rooms. Officers attempted repeatedly, across two different cities one hour apart, to get medical staff to perform unwarranted and consentless x-rays and/or probing of my body, which I repeatedly refused. Doctors, despite having zero medical evidence I had did anything wrong, wrote on their paperwork I was 'suspicious' because I denied the allegations.

After 16 hours of this harassments I was release, uncharged, with no apologies.

On yet another occasion, I was told by border officials they would not let me in my own country, despite providing full proof of citizenship (immaculate condition passport, plus identifying myself fully). After 4 hours of probing questions including going practically line by line on what's on the IRS 1040, most of which I didn't answer, I was released.

Now imagine this same happening, legally entering the country at the proper port of entry with full authorization -- except as not a citizen or looking like a boring middle-class corn-fed white guy like me. These sick fucks would treat you even worse. A woman (actually a citizen) who went through a few years before me brutally had her orifices probed in a 'search' for 'contraband.'[0]

One thing the author did not mention is that there is a huge wastage of green cards every year by US immigration authorities. That wastage compounds the problem faced by immigrants.

The wastage works like this -
1. Every country is allocated an equal number of visas per year .

2. However a lot of smaller countries do not come close to utilizing their full visa allocation

3. The remaining visas can be allocated to the backlogged countries (mostly India and China)

4. The law also allows for the utilization of unused family based visas to be given to employment categories if there are backlogs.

5. However the Us government gets a fixed amount of time to make that allocation .
If they do not do that allocation in the correct time period then those visas are wasted.

Just as an example last year, USCIS wasted around 50K visas and this year they are on track to almost waste 85K visas.

Looking at these numbers, it looks like a manufactured crisis to keep employment based immigrants in a constant state of flux so as to limit job hopping and limit their pay negotiation options.

> The IMF and other entities do not give aid or loans to dictatorships

This is wrong. The IMF, USA, and Europe deal with dictators on a regular basis.

That's funny because the opposite happened where I live.

> El Salvador started having this problem as Bukele eliminated other branches of government. That's why he pushed Bitcoin adoption in the first place - to work around the problems caused by his desired form of government.

El Salvador had an astronomical crime rate, and bad finances long before Bukele. It's unlikely that Bukele (or a single man) can eliminate anything in the government or a democratic system. What happens is these system collapses and Bukele is just the symptom of it.
When you look at how some people want to see WASM evolve, there are reasons to be very concerned about it

- exception handling

- GC

- JIT

Some people want to make WASM something similar to java bytecode or C#'s IL, and it defeats its purpose of being a lightweight, platform agnostic target

The harm was already done, WASM is still compelling (today), but the direction it is taking mean it'll just die..

> Yes, it's a great feeling when your code fits like a jigsaw puzzle, but also more complexity = more code being executed. Behind that RAII, behind that "operator=" and that "p = new Struct", etc. there might be extra complexity for the sake of developer's readability and comfortability. There is little or no added value for the end user or the purpose of the program itself.

'Yes, it's a great feeling when your code fits like a jigsaw puzzle, but also more complexity = more code being executed. Behind that function call, behind that nested expression and that "p = malloc(sizeof(*p))", etc. there might be extra complexity for the sake of developer's readability and comfortability.

See? The same argument can be used against C in favor of assembly. Abstractions allow us to write safer, more correct code in less time, which actually does offer a lot of added value for the end user. C makes many useful abstractions harder or downright impossible, which is one reason why software written in C is generally such a shitshow from a security perspective.

One of the things I'm noisy about is mechanical door locks in BEVs.

...Having electric door locks that no longer work is catastrophic in these types of situations. A great deal more needs to be done on BEVs to create better fire walls and battery protection if they ever become mainstream transport.

> What makes you think the inflation rate is under-reported

I hope I don't come across as a conspiracy theorist here... but based on my own experience and also how CPI is calculated. CPI constantly shifts out items to 'mimic consumer behavior' which coincidentally also makes inflation look lower. As someone who hasn't really changed much, our grocery bills went way, way over any reported number. It is probably close to 30-40% in total(2019 to today), but I can't find any old receipts proving as much...yet.

Rent for us is up from 1700 to 2750 for like sized houses (due to not getting renewed, it's admittedly not on the exact same property).

And gas well, that tells its own story.

> Do you see any concern with other people making more money that would not be reflected in an (accurately reported) inflation rate?

No way! If everyone could make 100k a year and we could have 2018 prices back...that would damn near be a utopia.
Right. All that work on type systems is purely indirection. I want to run my code and the compiler keeps telling me I can't access this place in memory because some other part of my code is borrowing it. Or, what do you mean the commutative property of this type class doesn't hold for my type? Purely directing me away from programming, for sure.
Just because the author used only confirmatory evidence doesn't mean that there isn't a correlation or a causal factor at play. The author didn't posit a theory; he merely pointed out that the maps are interesting. Which they are.

Sure, you could probably pick arbitrary political boundaries from different times and create maps that show the opposite trend. However, I would be surprised if there weren't correlative or causal factors, given that historical people reproduced and, in the case of many agrarian peoples, didn't migrate. It's possible that our collective ignorance of history makes this appear to be a novel fact, when we shouldn't be too surprised.
Historically luxuries came from China.

In fact Africans who were doing the selling during the Slave Trade generally insisted on the Asian fineries and dismissed the European products as distantly and vertically inferior. And they were generally pretty shrewd in the negotiation, they knew the immense worth of whom they were selling. Insisted on getting beautiful clothes out of the equation.

And Pablo Neruda says, at one point, "Chinese hands and Mexicans hands are similar, incapable of making ugly things."
> although it probably does

What makes you think that?

> the sort of politics that likes big government also likes UBI.

I don't think you can really generalise like that. Certainly the reverse doesn't seem to be true, in that UBI seems to have appeal to many of those who are opposed to big government. It certainly seems to avoid a lot of the bureaucracy that comes with more traditional welfare systems.

Right! SQLite is great, but those two are great as well. It seems like the energy should be around "hey, you should consider a local, maybe even in-memory, database for some things!" more so than specifically "SQLite is great" (though it is).
Also, the "PC-losering problem" presented as one of the central examples in the original 'Worse is Better' really is an example of 'worse' -- the unix approach gives a modest reduction in kernel implementation complexity at the cost of every single userspace program either taking a complexity hit (retrying on EINTR) or being buggy in corner cases. This isn't just "less" or "simpler" -- it's actively accepting "worse" in order to get a basically functioning thing out the door sooner and maybe fix the most-annoying warts later.

The AirBnB that is my "neighbour" is run by a property manager - they run a chain of apartments on behalf of the owners. They aren't letting a room in their home; they live in another city. The owner seems to be an investment banker who lives overseas, and never comes here.

From a landlord's point-of-view, their proposition is attractive: guaranteed monthly rent, they handle all admin, they hire cleaners.

From a guest's point-of-view, it's good too; they have a full schedule of bookings and get rave reviews (this is a very attractive location). The standard of decor is high.

But from my point-of-view it sucks, because they've degraded my owner-occupied home into a hotel suite, except with no concierge, no mailroom (the visitors have access to my mail deliveries), and no onsite manager.
