> Reddit has hundreds of millions of users and millions of subreddits. HN is probably fairly comparable to a mid-sized subreddit

Yes, since you're going to bring up a generalization in my argument in order to dismiss the whole thing, let me clarify it with more words than would have been acceptable in the first post. There are free-speechly(for lack of a better word, since liberal means authoritatian these days) run subreddits as well authoritatively run subreddits. Hacker news is like a free-speechly run subreddit with moderation to reduce spam but not opposing viewpoints. A whole universe of subreddits out there. I should have been more careful to keep my argument less leaky, but largely most mainstream subreddits suffer from an ideology protecting regime.

Well run or not is not, that's a matter of opinion. You probably think those reddits you defend run by authoritarian reddit mods who believe in silencing "viewpoints dangerous to the reputation of their ideologies" is well run. I happen to think it approaches the fervor, passion, hope, zeal, and spirit of the third reich.

What are these ideologies? Ive already mentioned one. Communal vs Capitalistic beliefs. Reddit moderating is a job for people who believe in contributing to the community, and thats a good thing inherent to human nature, but a gaping flaw when we move so far past dunbars number that it wouldn't even register when looking at the whole. These very good ideological beliefs thus left unchecked in an environment it wasn't meant for transforms into the thing we see today where communal maintainers feel threatened by non-communal actors and often take the dark side of abusing their power to maintain order through authoritarian means. A complete removal of discussion of outside ideas because they threaten an ideology that only works when everyone plays along.

I'm not here to discuss that topic of communism/capitalism or any other "ideologies" though. Just here to point out that the rules that govern the system self selects personalities that gravitate towards ruling through certain means. That's the "conspiracy" that is observable in real time.

I'm a little older, but similar. My first professional job was in 1985, programming in Cobol on Unix systems, on an accounting package. MS-DOS and IBM PC's were just becoming important, and we did later port to DOS, then Windows.

We used Acucobol, and yes, everything was in Cobol. Acucobol had the SCREEN SECTION and you could put up nice text UI forms on terminals. I did a lot of cool things with cursor-point-and-click menu systems, etc.

Once ported to Windows, and Acucobol's GUI controls, you couldn't tell the difference between a VB6 program and our Cobol programs. All native Windows controls.
I completely agree. I find the idea of using someone else's Vim or Emacs config horrifying. They'll do everything differently and not necessarily better.

I memorise how to configure vim how I like it and do it each time. Or how to change tmux bindings to use ctrl-a which I still need to memorise.

Then I'm someone who remembers commands and switches and doesn't need to use recursive search to find commands I type in.

Starting from fresh each time gives you a perspective of what is easier. Reader, can you write a Java application build.gradle, C makefile or Kubernetes YAML without copying and pasting from the web? Can you SSH jump from a bastion host from memory with -W? Can you create the directory structure of a Java project without copying from existing? Or do you write some terrible static configuration generator that doesn't get updates I've seen that so many times on projects. Saving time on the wrong thing rather than just learning the thing to begin with.

I also prefer IntelliJ to Emacs and vim to Emacs. But I use Emacs keybindings in bash. Also I prefer bash to the other shells.

Excel was the product that really overwhelmed the competition--including Lotus 1-2-3--when the world transitioned to Windows. Word and Powerpoint were decent programs but there were plenty of competitive options out there. But getting Powerpoint and Word for "free" as part of a Microsoft bundle pretty much sealed the deal.

Why not? Different OSes can serve people in different niches. This is like saying "you don't need special training to ride a tricycle, therefore the fact that you need it to drive a car is the fault of the car". If people don't want to use Ubuntu, they are free to use macOS. I will continue using Ubuntu because I know how to use it and it works for me. What's the problem?
I recognize that government funding for vaccine-skeptical research would be even more statistically significant than these declines in birth rates, but... this needs to be fleshed out much more.

Having said that, it's a huge fertility crash in all places that can I'll afford it.

It’s always so odd to me how people like you suggest the answer to something like Oklahoma’s wildly punitive abortion laws is for folks to just uproot their lives and move to another state immediately. Why don’t the people who hate people having a choice relocate to a less liberal area and simply not have abortions? Nobody is stopping them either, right?

It’s like there’s no consideration for the fact that they have families and communities they are a part of, or that they may lack the means to easily relocate.

When someone foots the bill for these people I’ll stop calling the solution dishonest and hypocritical. Until then, I suggest people who repeat it stop acting like it’s such an obvious, easy solution.

This also ignores the fact that states like Missouri are attempting to criminalize going to other states for them, which means even if you have the means to travel to another state for one without wholesale moving you can’t even do that. Should my home state be able to prosecute me for smoking weed in Colorado?

You are right that there are certainly countless factors, and it's a messy system. You can clearly see economic troubles suppressing birth numbers, or the introduction of the pill that drove most Western societies to a birth rate below the replacement level. You can also see clear differences caused by politics/ideological systems. But the coupling between birth rate and death rate seems the strongest overall predictor, with the lag between the two driving many population booms. As a consequence, Western nations saw the biggest decline in birth rates in the beginning of the 20th century [1]

Castes are largely endogamous, so eliminationist rhetoric directed against a particular caste is genocidal in character.

Caste, class, and ethnicity, are not tightly-defined concepts (with the exception of caste in India, I'm referring to extensions of the idea outside of its origin), the genocide of the Tutsi has aspects of all three.
What you did here with your comment was create a bunch of arguments I do not have. I don't even have student loans, but you made a bunch of stuff up, because your brain is so small that the only thing that makes sense to you is that everyone who supports this policy holds the same exact positions. That is called arguing in bad faith. I hope you learned something today!

Yes, cliché implies an overused trope; in Heat, all the female characters are clichés; most of the male characters are too (the main two, the exhausted but determined cop, and the super-pro bank robber, certainly are); and so are the situations and plot developments. The "one-last-big-score-that-goes-wrong" is so cliché it should be legislated against. Everything in that movie is utterly predictable.

As for movie critics, I'd rather form my own opinion than follow those of people who's profession is to sit in cinemas without even paying for their own tickets. But, while you're right that most reviews of Heat are very positive, there are plenty of critics who thought that movie was boring and cliché. Here's one for instance: https://www.reelviews.net/reelviews/heat

"all the character-building information is cliched and uninteresting"

"About forty minutes of Heat is involving. The rest varies from humdrum to tedious. That's not a very good success rate."

"the long stretches of banal dialogue and formula plotting mute the impact of the staccato, bullet-laden bursts of energy"

None of this matters much, of course. I would feel the same if there were zero negative reviews.

I think we should agree to disagree.
The logic you are assuming I am using is incorrect.

The logic of helping with student loans is the student loans are making them too poor. Hence the reason to help them is because they are too poor, and government wants them to not be so poor.

Logically, the government should be helping all who are deemed too poor, regardless of why they are poor.

Child tax credits are neither here nor there in this discussion, because their purpose is to be an incentive to raise children for society. Although I would prefer it to be done via straight cash also, as opposed to meddling with taxes.
I really wish they would do away with tabs. Somehow this has always bothered me about TB. I don't know why. Maybe because it adds more layers in ehat should be a clean interface. Or maybe it is just tab-anxiety I have from using browsers. I just don't want to micro-manage tabs in my email client.

This comes as no surprise and was in fact expected by Jetbrains. Each time they increase prices, VSCode becomes more attractive to developers. On top of that, Microsoft is doing a very clever pricing scam as I said before [0]; by making their base tools free and charging for exquisite features in VSCode like Copilot.

On other editors, either you use a barebones editor and pay for Copilot or you pay for both copilot and the editor subscriptions. Microsoft wins both ways and as evidently shown here, JetBrains conceded to make a subscription price rise.

Microsoft knows you can't beat free.

There were. But the de facto successor to the indigenous governments was the Spanish crown. And the ship sank during Spanish rule.

Spain is not going to claim a galleon loaded with goods taken from the Colombian territories _before_ the 1500s or _after_ 1810.

The third question is really their question to their team, what's the effort needed for us to fulfill this ask?
