>For some strange reason the US nowadays is comparable in the percentage of prisoners in USSR in worst Gulag years:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_United_States_in...
I don't have an explanation here, TBH. The US is a rich and socially advanced country. In comparison to Europe this feels very wrong.

The US justice system is very broken. No matter where one stands politically (e.g. be more lenient or be tougher on crime), the current system is suffering from bureaucracy, ineffectiveness, ineptitude and slowness. It's caught in an endless feedback loop.
Yeah. And Europeans are astounded by American affinity for excusing socipathic corporations who bloat on uncontrolled cash influx floating their shares, giving them to power to profit from even murdering you Americans. From healthcare to guns to pink goo being sold as 'food'.

Any country can 'compete' if they allow their society to be ravaged by such sociopathy. Until they face social collapse. Like the US is doing now.
> The second amendment is a thing.

Gun-control opponents... generally choose to ignore the first clause altogether, hoping that no one notices that there was never an unabridged right to gun ownership.[1]

The solution to the gun-control issue and, perhaps, to some of the lawlessness in our communities is for the states to invoke the Second Amendment and require gun owners to join a militia.[1)

The 2nd Amendment says well-regulated militia shall not be infringed, it's the right of the people. Gun owners should be drafted into militia and whipped into shape. Whether regulation works or not is incidental because the 2nd requires it.

It would be nice if more things prioritized safety, consistency, and predictability over maximum output. So many things seem to have very little tolerance built in.

I suppose some things are limiting factors for things we really want done, but a lot of stuff is already producing more than is needed, and the solution is usually to try to create more demand instead of to enable more slack or to do something else.
Believe it or not, there are entire research labs dedicated to just construction optimization. There’s a lot of PhDs actively working on these problems, but I guess they aren’t very smart or they’d be in software :-)

Oh I'm sorry, they're just replacing them with ones that can be enforced or ignored at will
Yeaaaah. Its only US tech monopolies who make smartphones. Nobody else does.
Microsoft used to have them in everything, but I believe, and perhaps somebody can correct me on this if I am wrong, that to contract with national governments, hidden or extraneous functionality had to be removed.

I loved the flight simulator and a doom game in excel. Also a few programs had hidden functionality in the about menus.

I suppose my favorite of all time was a hidden menu in an oscilloscope that caused it to play I believe it was pong or some other simple arcade game.

One that if I ever have the time is I want to reverse the very antiquated Apple II or IIgs Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego game, by chance I hit a key combo and the game went beserk.
> It doesn't sound like you have any direct experience of this

It doesn't matter if I have personal experience with this although I do. A very bad personal experience with the mental health service that was provided as well as the side effects I was talking about.

> I had to come off them and it wasn't a problem.

This just comes off as ignorant, there is established literature on the withdrawal effects. I was not speculating or spreading FUD. They are real, documented and more common than your anecdotal lucky experience
Can you provide an example of such a game? I am following computer chess pretty closely and it's just all draws if we start from mainstream openings. By mainstream I mean things that are considered solid by today top players and engines. Some of the traditional mainstream openings turned out to be problematic (King's Indian for example). I am talking about recent Stockfish (the one with NNs) as the traditional version had pretty serious problems in certain positions and needed an extensive opening book to steer it out of trouble.

Most democracies place buffers between the will of the masses and the levers of power. For very good reasons too.

In UK there is the house of lords and the indirect election of the prime minister.
I would much rather have a very easy to remember command that does one thing and one thing only (namely, what it says on the tin) than to have to remember or dig through a whole slew of command line options in order to get 'yes' to become the equivalent to 'no' or 'cat'.
Well said. So on a company's road to success, opportunities can arise in different corners of the international landscape. Understanding that, it makes sense that a small journey with enough time and distance becomes an enterprising voyage.

But then the question is, how does management determine whether to stay an enterprising voyage (eg exploring space endlessly) or become a settlement (eg McDonalds franchise)? Maybe the analogy ends here.
Labour hasn't even ever had a woman leader, whereas the Tories have had two. They are far more diverse than the Labour party.
Cookie popups have been around since long before the GDPR. They started with the EU ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC) passed in 2002 and amended in 2009.

So although people now associate them with the GDPR, cookie popups were already an annoyance for many years before.

Unfortunately, the UK seems to be taking advantage of the (rightful) public backlash against cookie popups to also try to revoke many of the good parts of the GDPR.

They don't bother doing more than a token effort at compacting because unless you have really crappy soil the foundation is likely strong enough to spread the load to enough soil to bear the weight without cracking. If foundations didn't need to do that job they'd have a lot less if any rebar. Basically the way they do it is cheaper and good enough.
It's a strange thing to complain that countries have laws. HR has to deal with different local legislations, finance has to do it as well, why wouldn't dev have to do it ? Because it does not scale ?

Isn’t that the whole point of brexit? Introducing incompatible changes - supposedly beneficial ones

Feels like more of the same schroedingers brexit BS - “we want things to change but also stay the same”
Proportional representation allowing representation of all views in countries' parliaments on top of doing the same in Euparl.

This leading to many actual left-wing MPs getting elected and informing entire parliaments about stuff which the average American may never know about - less American congressmen would ever want to hear about: The browser wars came to Euparl way back in mid 2000s and left-wing MPs first warned that major corporations would abuse it, then over time they demonstrated that it was happening exactly so. Leading to Microsoft vs the Commission and the browser ballot box. Then GDPR. In the meantime, also GMO labeling. And food standards WAY back. And right to repair and all that stuff. And now this.

There are even communist MPs in Euparl who are MAJOR proponents of Open Source since a long time ago. They also subscribe to the ideology as well.

Which brings about an interesting point: The legislation precisely targets the early, free state of the Internet from mid 2000s to early 2010s before major tech companies consolidated everything.
Am I correct to understand that VCs get the same share of the pie, now, that the valuations are lower?
So the valuation changes, the amount the VC puts in changed but not the % VCs get from the deal?

If lending had exceeded the number of available purchased/physical copies, then it wouldn't be "working around", it would be "violating" copyright law

But wouldn't it be up to the claimant to show this actually happened? So far I have seen no credible evidence for this claim.
Slowly but surely, the main problem with food is changing from "starvation" to "obesity".

Which is arguably just a different form of malnutrition, somewhat less deadly, but more of a chronic burden on the patient and the society.
Nope, that's not how standardization works.

I'd refer you to the process of HTML/CSS/JavaScript if you want to see how it can work in a global manner that also works for innovation too (unless you'd argue that HTML/CSS/JavaScript is exactly the same in terms of "innovation" since they each first were created).

In short, the process is something like this: 1) a browser implements a new feature they think is useful 2) standard bodies start watching 3) another browser implements the same feature either the same way, or differently 4) standard bodies start working on a specification to unify the feature across browsers and OSes 5) Specification gets "blessed" and is now official recommendation 6) browsers modify their feature to be compliant with the specification
Horrible. They will just divert all the sales to China then.

That kind of loophole-explotation floats only in common law. Not in civil law. The civil law would go down like a hammer on such heads.
Let me at least propose one alternate view.

Construction is a very conservative business that innovates slowly. This is partly by design. It carries a lot of risk to human safety and capital that isn’t amenable to the “fail fast” paradigm of SV.
I never invited you people into my head and I don't like it
I have XPS 9570 and using Linux. I can say this is the most rubbish piece of hardware I had. I only bought XPS because I couldn't really find anything better that is non Apple.

I see that Dell has not learned anything by the looks of XPS 13 Plus. Given that this laptop is aimed at professionals, why does it have such an atrocious keyboard? Just by looking at it, I know it would make me want to drop this laptop in the bin. Small cursor keys, no dedicated PgUp / PgDown etc.

And it's not fanless. With my XPS you can't have a Teams meeting without someone pointing out "what's that noise?" and then you have to say "oh sorry that's my laptop".

I am in the market for a new laptop, and on the issue of fans alone I am going to go with M2 Air.
If I could run a linux on a VM at reasonable speed, I'll be happy.
In 2017 when that article was last updated, yeah sure. Not sure you can make that declaration in 2022. The combination of record poverty caused by Covid lockdowns and food supply chain disruptions caused by the war in Ukraine has put millions of people worldwide in famine conditions: https://www.reuters.com/world/world-faces-unprecedented-glob...

Exactly how bad it will get remains to be seen. But the causes of famine are generally political and in terms of total body counts the worst ones are basically "big country X really screws up" (e.g. China and the Soviet Union in the 20th century) and/or wars and I don't think we have any guarantee that those things won't happen again.
Definitely true. In this case, where nodes are browsers (so clocks can easily be synced to within a few seconds of one another) and changes are user settings (so they change less than once an hour), a last-write-wins register seems like a great choice for an atomic setting like a boolean.

For settings where we can more intelligently handle conflicts (e.g. sets), we don't need the timestamps, because we can take advantage of vector clocks instead.
Even if they were supposed to be held in escrow, you'd need access to courts to enforce it.
Give Well is a research organisation that publishes reports on the effectiveness of charities.

They do select a 'Top 9' of best charities for a range of issues, and also run a 'donation index' where you can allow your donation to be distributed to the top charities (purportedly without a fee being taken).

I've heard of Give Well being mentioned on various Stats podcasts (e.g. the BBC's More or Less) and Our World in Data is very reputable.
It's not entirely SEO, that's part of it, but it's also copyright.

Hi,

I would suggest the Materio MUI React NextJS Admin Template. I purchased it last week for my project and I am so satisfied with the product quality and ease-of-use.

Also, the team is very responsive whenever needed the support.
In case you want to check if it is suitable for your project or not then there is a free version as well.

You can check the theme here: https://themeselection.com/item/materio-mui-react-nextjs-adm...

I hope you find it helpful.

Maybe M2 Air will be slower, but good enough and XPS 13 Plus will probably wake up your neighbours with its fans spinning like crazy.
Yep, fragmentation is horrible. Usually the Brussels Effect takes care of fragmentation issues but on the case of UK, there's this drive of making thinks differently for the sake of making things differently(it's a political chip for those who cater to the Brexit supporters).

It would be OK if UK became more like the US but UK is not USA, in USA people don't usually get knocked on their doors by the police for their tweets. UK politicians have this desire to control the speech on the Internet, they work on stuff like identity verification when visiting porn sites.

People can be for or against Brexit in the context of government size and reach discussions however I don't see UK as getting more "free-markety" like US but more like Northern Europe style control with extra distance between the state and the people. It kind of feels like a combination of worst from the both.

People tend to focus on raw performance and then pretend the Dell has no fans. I'd take a bit slower laptop but dead silent over a minute faster one whirring like a jet engine.

That could happen, but it would affect all LPs equally. If proof of such a call ever leaked the fund would be open to lawsuits from a whole pack of hyenas (high net worth individuals for whom the LP commitment is roughly equal to a scratch lottery ticket to an ordinary citizen) and who collectively represent the larger part of the funds' total commitment.

The people running these funds are not idiots and would not willingly put themselves into a position like that.

Also, if credibly alleged there won't be a next installment of that particular fund.
> Seems like extortion and protectionism to me

Wait until you learn about the import-quotas that the US applies to every country that it trades with. Including those with 'free trade' agreements.
If I'm understanding you correctly, a capital call is a commitment to provide the capital if the VC firm requests it. I thought it was also a commitment on the part of the VC firm to find investments.

So VCs will have smaller Capital Calls until the market picks up again.

I suspect some VCs will get greedy as their Carry is tied to the amount invested, but the smart ones will play the long game.
not a big deal.

If I remember correctly by default Apache kept a single log file and didn't log individual virtual hosts

the default log format doesn't save the host being called and the ip address is the one received by the socket, so it might be the ip address of a proxy server

This doesn't make a lot of sense because when you're trying to infer premises from conclusions the conclusions are your current premises. And premises you're searching will be your conclusions.
This is the first time I've heard about John Pilger.

I've learned a thing or two about western media propaganda or just propaganda in general over the last 4 or 5 years. Basically, once a narrative has been pushed through mass media, it becomes almost impossible to reverse.

For example, the narrative that "China bad" is so deeply ingrained in US culture. If you write anything that is remotely suggesting "China good", you're automatically labeled as promoting CCP propaganda, or you're a traitor, or people just refuse it no matter how much evidence you provide.

Everything is black and white. So crystal clear. China evil. China bad. USA good. In reality, everything is far more grey than black and white.
100% It would be interesting to get an input as image and get the closest prompt that generates that image. Later we could run the prompt to get the image back.

That could effectively be a lossy compression of the image, exchanging space (the image) with time (cpu).
You may have a misunderstanding of what the ECHR is. A party can make an application to the ECHR against a member state of the Council of Europe (not the same as the EU) that that member has breached an article of the agreed European Convention on Human Rights. They don't "go after" individuals.
Is Signal's too, then? They also stated interop is no good.
Brexity politicians still half-arsing it, I see.
We need a privacy API that browsers agree on and websites would have to follow, when present. Uniform dialogs per browser for this crap, rather than unique per website.
It's a nice narrative but the accuracy of it is questionable, there isn't really some grand historical march away from famine. We've just had a great run from 1980-2020. https://ourworldindata.org/uploads/2018/03/Famine-victims-si...

The situation in 2022 is not good, it will take time to see exactly how bad.

Famine correlates very closely with war -- if our recent period of relative global peace comes to an end it will probably return with a vengeance.
A digression, but is this type of attitude just as prevalent in other domains? Do chemists/pilots/aerospace engineers have the same weird status flex sentiment?

I think there's couple layers to that. I would argue, that your parents would probably consider their job boring, underpaid, but in the end necessary and beneficial for regular people. Many of developers writing these posts, seem to have bullshit job complex.

Passion is very strong word. Maybe just sense, that what you're doing is actually useful and not just justification of existence of your managers job? Personally I perform much worse if I see, that project is waste of everyone's time.

Also - if your dilemma is feeding or not your children, then job satisfaction might be less important. It's obvious that software developers have extremely good position in this regard.

Original article is about someone's warm memories of working for Stripe (for I assume exceptional compensation, far from any food-related issues), and a lot of people complained in comments, because in their view, what you doing 8h a day MUST be least important thing in your life, no matter what.
If you care about fan noise then the M2 is better. I personally so don't see much added value in having no fan noise. But that's personal preference.
You seem to be getting a lot of downvoting, which is unfortunate. So clearly your use of the word 'terminal' is nonsense. You have no way of knowing that, any more than you know that China's will continue to grow or any other bit of economic crystal ball gazing, but...

I am interested in your assertion about the actual numbers 1980s vs today. Can you provide a reference for that please? The direction of travel in those 40 years seems plausible to me. After all, China has definitely become a much bigger slice of the world's productivity pie than it was then so others must have a smaller ratio than they did. But the absolute numbers are kinda interesting.
