It's crazy that local elected legislators end up able to manipulate this, but you can't really prevent the government of the sovereign entity, in this case the Federal Government (which will presumably be elected in a democracy otherwise what's the point) from being able to seize this power if it determines to do so. If it can't then it's not much of a sovereign government.

For example in England an independent Boundary Commission draws these lines. But, they only exist because the government allows them to exist, Parliament can (and often does) ignore what the Commission says, indeed it's perfectly normal for a party who expect to lose seats to complain that it's unfair, and if that party happens to be in government they will stall boundary reforms. In practice the Commission acts as some sort of bulwark against gerrymandering overall, but it's for local stuff that this is more important, because local government just can't seize that power for themselves. That's where the US approach is crazy.

The extra crazy thing in the US is that its sovereign government acts as though it is permanently beholden to dusty old documents (a written "Constitution"), or rather, to the very modern interpretation of those documents by partisan hacks in its "Supreme Court". This makes no sense, and Americans shouldn't put up with it.

Yes, the squawk code is not itself necessarily used to identify individual airplanes and distinguish them from one another and transponders now transmit significant amounts of data on top of the squawk code.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_Dependent_Surveillan...

(I don't know how much squawk codes are, or were, used to specifically identify aircraft in the past, but I believe that currently it's not unusual that many aircraft in the same region would be squawking the same number, which would not confuse ATC because of all the other transponder data that's available.)

It’s very easy to de-anonymize telemetry data, track users across IP addresses, collate with other application’s telemetry data, determine which users are in the same places at the same time, and generally extract a huge amount of data about people, who they spend time with, where they spend time, and what they do there.

Telemetry is unequivocally spyware.

It feeds a firehose of data to the internet, and both data brokers and state actors do absolutely everything they can to gobble it up.

For years now, I've seen many restaurants rely on an Instagram account instead of an actual website. It's definitely easier for them to create an IG account than to pay someone (or a service) for a website. Also, posting to IG lets them market to their audience (instead of posting it to a website that presumably fewer people visit).

Shame since I often want to view their menu, and IG is really aggressive about not showing you profiles & images unless you login. Viewing their menu on a 3rd party site (Google Maps, Yelp, delivery services, etc) is subpar and often out of date.

I couldn't agree more. I used to love EA, but when it became a way to justify that a bunch of nerds (speaking as one) are _actually_ doing the most important work humanity ever saw by learning about AI... it just put a sour taste in my mouth. I wish they'd focus more on global health initiatives.
It replaces population proportional representation with representation based on political subdivisions completely separated from demo- part of democracy.

A big issue with Crypto is that there is no floor. It also trades 24/7. So there is no cool down period if people start to panic. So we are seeing the result of that. People are panicking and will sell as soon as they see their gains start to disappear. It's not the first time and it won't be the last.

It needs a shakeout and it will be stronger once it stops. There are going to be lots of people who will pick up some great bargain since at some point it will reverse course. Unfortunately no one knows that number.
I once wrote a bunch of Rexx scripts for the terminal program ZOC (aka Zap-O-Com). This was a Windows shareware terminal program that I used to connect to newsgroups and FTP sites, and telnet to CompuServe and Delphi Information Service!

I had most of a menu driven system working to list various newsgroup messages on my ISP (MindSpring) and download subsets of articles based on keywords. I also had it working to write replies offline then log on and send them in a batch. Totally fun little system!! And Rexx was a fun language to work with.
I have no clue about formal studies, but the fact that many profit maximizing companies are trying to push people back to the office is at least a hint that there might be something in it for them?

Especially since most rank-and-file employees seem to prefer WFH, we can assume that the push back to the office isn't a boondoggle for them. Just the opposite.

Companies are competing fiercely for labour. Wages in the tech sector are really high compared to the rest of the economy. Offering the option of WFH is a major draw for many people. There's not much regulatory intervention either way (and if anything it's in the direction of making offices more cumbersome to run). Office space also costs a lot of money to lease or buy and to run.

So there's lots and lots of market pressure on companies to figure out how to make WFH work.

Just like moving from artisanal workshops to factories required major re-organisations of how work is done, and how companies also needed to re-organise their white collar work to really reap the rewards of moving from paper shuffling to Word/Outlook/Excel jockeying, I expect WFH to be no different.

Not all production of physical goods moved to factories. I expect at least some in-office work to remain.

I don't know to what extent existing companies will be able to fully capitalise on WFH, and to what extent this will need newly founded companies.

(From my personal experience, I can tell you that everyone in a team being remote seems to work well enough, but if you are the only guy working from home in timezone X and the rest of the team is mostly working from the office in timezone X-6, that doesn't work so well.

But that's a much more extreme case than what most employees are asking to keep.)

In any case, because of all the factors I outlined in the third paragraph, I expect WFH vs in-office work to shake out in a fairly free market way over the next few years.
Is there any binding force between neighboring Neon atoms? Or do you make the "solid" by just bunching them together until they have no place to go (like stacking oranges)?
It will have some impact, but that erosion will be limited by how readily portable it is (I’d assume very, but haven’t looked at the source) and how attractive a target it’ll be for abstractions.

The former is table stakes if it has any chance of displacing test frameworks which are already widely used for both server and client code. I would be shocked if it’s an issue though, there’s very little to gain from coupling a test framework to Node specifics (its own non-test APIs, V8 bindings, NAPI, etc) unless you’re heavily invested in that focus. (I say this as someone who’s worked on such a project off and on for a while, and even then the primary motivation is to make testing itself more portable without sacrificing performance or tooling.)

The latter—attractiveness as a low level API to build on—remains to be seen. This is something Node generally does well with its novel APIs. But it’s a very crowded space already. And from what I’ve seen looking at the APIs, they don’t offer a whole lot more than basic correctness that can be skipped to quickly prototype and iterate abstraction ideas.

Otherwise it’ll be a reasonable default for very Node-specific greenfield projects. Which is welcome! But it’s also a somewhat niche audience. Portability is going to matter to almost all Node users already, and abstraction will matter to a largely overlapping segment of users who are accustomed to a much richer set of built in and extensible testing semantics.

I don’t want to dismiss the effort or its prospects outright! I just think it’s become increasingly clear that Node’s influence relative to the JS ecosystem is shrinking as the diversity of runtimes increases and as compatibility between them becomes more important.
What gives me pause is that above examples are state actors. With no deep knowledge of the field, I don't know how much android Chrome can ever do to mitigate a sovereign state policy, especially as phone systems all have some local specificities introduced either through the carrier's software, or some straight exception to follow the country's regulation/culture.

[Edit: User introduced VPNs are another issue, but it then falls down on stopping a user from meddling with their phone, which is also tricky in my opinion]

> In Canada, and I presume most countries of the G7, it's an independent entity

Most countries have a proportional system, not a winner takes it all system.

With a proportional system where X% of the votes results in X% of the seats (corrected by 3% or 5% barrier and rounding effects) gerrymandering in some cases can effect who exactly is the MP for a region, but party association matches the vote.

In France two weeks ago they elected the president and the guy who in the second round got most votes nation-wide got the job. No counting per state/depardement/region. No electoral college, simple summing up.

In Germany there is an interesting system that a each electoral district has a candidate elected and then parliament is filled up to match proportion. Some gerrymandering there can lead to some party benefiting from direct mandates, but that has little effect in the end. (There is some weirdness as direct mandates are supposed to be 50% of seats, but if a party gets a lot more direct mandates than proportional weight the compensation is weird)

Generally the issue with giving districting away is that such commission have no democratic legislation, so if citizens are unhappy they have no way to vote them out. The University of Manitoba president is "unreachable" by the electorate. These core issues of core elements of the state (similar to rules for parliamentarians, election of supreme court justices, ...) are always problematic and rely on responsible individuals ...

As a Gore/Kerry supporter I agree. And I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but there’s been a broad repudiation of George W. Bush’s vision for an evangelical role for America in spreading democracy among his own party.

I think Americans have many great virtues. But they’re not aliens, and America isn’t a science experiment. I don’t begrudge any American who wants a country of their own, just like Indians and Bangladeshis do.

A very good point and logically leads to each group having 'plans' for the other once the working together was over.
Important for web apps or websites? There's a difference, a product's landing page will need SEO, definitely, but the app itself, ie app.example.com, likely does not need SEO. For example, an easy example is Figma. The landing page is built with HTML, CSS and JS, but the actual app itself is actually built with WASM [0], very similar to the canvas based implementation of Flutter apps.

That's why I stopped watching it entirely, and so can you.

My hypothesis as to why most TV is misery porn goes beyond just that people can relate to misery. I think it's the combination of misery and violence, whether it's physical or verbal.

The modern world is so tightly controlled that the average person knows that they can't commit much if any violence in real life, for any reason, good or bad, without either facing penalties or extreme misunderstandings. Sure, there's mentally unstable individuals who attack every now and then, but the law can't do anything about them and we just shrug and think "that's just what they do," more or less.

Secretly, or subconsciously, part of many everyday people wants to be the character who puts people in their place, or stabs people, or cooks meth, or shoots people, or beats the ever living shit out of people, and so on. Even if they have a moral compass of some kind, and don't even have the balls to do any of that, they've got some brain cells that gets excited from seeing people do things they know they could never even think of doing.

Even if it's not physical violence, people clearly like the fake or instigated drama on reality and cooking shows. They've all wanted to say "fuck you" to their boss at some point, but only by living vicariously through fiction can they picture it happening.

Of course, these nefarious characters in media must be miserable somehow, or the world around them had to make them who they are in some way, else the illusion can't work.

No. Not this one. It's too much work to test everything. A much more concise can be used from:

This is really nice for testing. It uses most of the pretend-native components I was interested in.

Right off the bat, I notice stuttering animations everywhere: Scrolling, swiping back, etc... This is on an iPhone 13.

In one section, the keyboard opened on top of a text-field so I couldn't see what I was typing.

The components are _just_ different enough that I feel something is wrong, but for the most part, I can't tell what it is.

Then there's a bunch of minor stuff. Switches become slightly larger when they change. You cant swipe down modals. You can't drag & release over options in the sheet. I feel like I'm missing buttons more often.

Overall, I get a vague cheap feel. Not so bad that I would outright dismiss the app as a customer, but I would definitely look for alternatives.

This isn't a critique of the app. I think all of these issues are flutter-related.
How do they justify working on features if they don't know the users?

Without higher taxes, you generally won't get good social services.. but just because taxes are high does not imply that government benefits are good. There's a large range of effectiveness at using tax dollars to actually provide value to citizens (and while I wouldn't put Canada at the top, I think it's well above high tax states like California).

Andrew Cuomo falsified and hid information regarding his mismanagement of elder care facilities. Hong Kong has been placed under de facto martial law by the CCP with the goal of crushing dissent.

Barrack Obama recently delivered a speech at Stanford calling for an end to free speech on the net under the guise of "regulating social media" and "stopping the spread of disinformation".

Why is sacrificing rights to governments still considered a necessary solution to problems that governments create themselves? Have you learned nothing from history or those who lived through it long enough to write on the subject like Orwell and Arendt?

My theory is that we have so much entertainment and so many low-importance chores and tasks we put on ourselves that any unplanned event feels negative. One might have planned to go shopping, watch the latest episode of a show, read an article or watch a video that one stumbled over earlier in the day or similar. There is just no more idle or unplanned time. In the rare case that time is unplanned, it feels precious, although we did this to ourselves.

I recently started to only allow myself to watch tv on Friday evenings. I've also made a much stronger effort to limit social media consumption. I feel a lot less stressed and I think it's because there suddenly is no default way of filling time. Not only do I spend more time on things I actually value (musical instrument practice, reading books and working on my software projects), but I also think that I am much more often in a state where I'd be delighted, rather than stressed if friends or family suddenly stopped by. Unfortunately, I think this theory will never be put to the test. I am more excited though when friends message me.
