This sounds more like a critique of capitalism than anything.

What I find absurd is the re-badging of appliances. A clothes dryer or a gas furnace is a very simple device. So simple, in fact, that you will find the same control board inside a wide variety of seemingly "different" products.
> Another thing to keep in mind is that, on average, students living on campus have higher GPAs, are less likely to drop out, are more likely to finish on time, feel a greater sense of social belonging, and are more likely to participate in extracurricular activities. Those benefits need to be factored in as well.

The ones that don't kill themselves, sure. There's also a higher rate of suicide, alcoholism, reported sexual assaults by both sexes, drug use, etc. but those statistics don't make it to pamphlets for obvious reasons. Living on-campus is more of an amplifier of opportunities and failures. It expands the range of scenarios; it doesn't raise the floor for everyone. If you're already successful and can handle yourself, you'll benefit from the proximity of those opportunities while residing on or close too a college campus. If you're an emotional wreck or don't know your own values (which describes many people in college), then anything aside from sheer force of will would won't be of much help and living on campus may interfere with that.
> Use the tabindex attribute to control tabbing order

In the meanwhile, the industry decided that the tabIndex has more cons than pros and should be avoided except for the value 0, for normally non-focusable targets to make them focusable and -1 for vice versa. MDN states:

> Warning: Avoid using tabindex values greater than 0. Doing so makes it difficult for people who rely on assistive technology to navigate and operate page content. Instead, write the document with the elements in a logical sequence.

I think a public policy solution to this could be to require a minimum warranty period for certain kinds of appliances, to force the manufacturers to increase the product quality.

Might be a community thing. Going back to the early 2000s in my experience they were used as a cautionary example of bikini marketing over technical merits.
I have a similar experience. I've been using this system for about 15 years, and have to block one or two address a year due to spam. A couple were due to first party spam that I could not manage to unsubscribe from (Cooks Illustrated, I'm looking at you), and a few scraped from forums (didn't realize the email would be public when signing up). The rest appeared to be due to an account compromise (based on breadth of low quality spam) - oh and less than 1/4 of those sites notified me of a compromise. I don't think I've ever received spam from what appears to be a "legitimate" "business partner" which is what I would expect from emails that were sold.

I also get a handful of spams a month from default addresses (hostmaster, etc), all of which come from Chinese IPs. I don't have any email address posted on my websites to scrape from (mailto: or otherwise), so I don't get any spam from that.

The end result is pretty much no spam. I assumed when I first setup my domain I'd have to configure spam assassin at some point, but that point has never come, thankfully.
>Hypothetically, you have unlimited time but you need to learn Chinese, Japanese and Korean,

Any question starting from the assumption you will learn three completely new languages is probably the wrong question to ask.

I mean, sure if it's your job, a planned career, or you somehow have family in all those languages, go for it. If not, you probably want to prioritize whatever language you want to learn the most, the one you have the most fun being in, or have the most need to learn.

To answer your question anyway, I would guess Japanese first, then either of the other two after, since Japanese will make you learn both Chinese characters (which still help somewhat in Korean) and has grammar similar to Korean, so it should give you a leg up on either language after. But if you are in a situation where you meetings tons of Korean people, or in Korea, that seems like a way more important factor...
Given your results it certainly seems so. However, I know of quite a few companies who required people to sign up with their email addresses to play their free games and then sold their addresses to marketers. Perhaps you wouldn't count that as spam since the emails sent had some substance? Or perhaps you only reveal your email to trustworthy sites and not to free gaming sites and such?
The benefits of progress tend to be lumpy and unevenly distributed to start. But I expect these niceties will eventually trickle out to other fields as people change industries or see how their peers' work lives differ.

There's probably a lot of societal-level interventions needed to bring cost of living under control to make it more viable as well. For example, in my home-town where rents are cheap it's actually hard to staff barbers or beauticians because the pay is good enough to where people can work for maybe 8 or 9 months and have that cover their bills and expenses for a year if they're frugal.

Now it helps that the local economy is really uneven as well, so you have a base of doctors and lawyers earning very high incomes to underwrite these service providers. But that seems pretty familiar for tech-towns like Silicon Valley too, the key difference is cost-of-living. Instead of having all that high-earner money being sunk into real-estate and rents it's sloshing over into the service sector.
It makes me think it's a socioeconomic issue.

or, from a different perspective, we're experiencing a population cap, as experienced through cost of living increases. Starting a family is a luxury not everybody can afford.

It's almost like a concerted effort over the past several decades to put up so many obstacles to nuclear construction that the cost of clearing such political hurdles can't be justified has worked.

The fact that nuclear costs only skyrocketed in the US while they stayed relatively constant or decreased in other countries suggests quite strongly the issue is political, not technical. In countries like South Korea, the LCOE of nuclear is less than half that of solar.

With regard to the “Kanji in English context” sample, I wonder how well that works when only a single English character is replaced by a kanji, because it’s easy to still read the word without discerning the specific kanji. Meaning, you could replace those kanjis with random blotches and still have no difficulties reading the text

It's not very different from Home Depot or Costco having sections for HVAC installation.

Mini-splits are very common in Asia and is in fact easier to install (e.g. no ducting). However in the US, mini-splits being new have sort of taken on the legacy HVAC installation pricing plus some premium. You're correct that labour cost is higher in the US but it doesn't explain the 10x cost in installation - I've seen too many people overpay by $10~20k for a system they don't need.

In terms of distribution, HVAC has similar volume to other major home appliances so it's not necessarily low I think. For customer experience... yeah, it's something that most people don't think about until it breaks I suppose.

Don't fall prey to the fallacy of rose colored glasses. Greed and unethical behavior has existed perhaps since the dawn of human civilization. The richest man in ancient Rome (Marcus Licinius Crassus) operated like something in between a private equity investor and a gangster:

"The first ever Roman fire brigade was created by Crassus. Fires were almost a daily occurrence in Rome, and Crassus took advantage of the fact that Rome had no fire department, by creating his own brigade—500 men strong—which rushed to burning buildings at the first cry of alarm. Upon arriving at the scene, however, the firefighters did nothing while Crassus offered to buy the burning building from the distressed property owner, at a miserable price. If the owner agreed to sell the property, his men would put out the fire; if the owner refused, then they would simply let the structure burn to the ground. After buying many properties this way, he rebuilt them, and often leased the properties to their original owners or new tenants." [0]

Business ethics and morality have varied widely across history. Of course there are stories like this from a similar time frame (Salk not patenting the Polio Vaccine and Florey not patenting Penicillin come to mind), but there are also plenty of counter examples.

I'd actually say that there's an argument to be made that we're living in a period of the best business ethics ever. This is mostly driven by regulation, empowered consumers, the current state of tort law (at least in the US) and wide availability of information. Stuff like Martin Shkreli bragging about cranking the price on live saving medication and then ending up in jail is a powerful signal to other business people not to behave like that.

> Don’t you need a basic router/nat to protect your systems?

You are under the mistaken impression that your router / NAT protects you.

It doesn't. It may mitigate some of the most basic attacks, the ones what were cutting edge in the 90s.
When I was at AWS I heard the same phrase from a DE, probably the same guy, and once heard him also say "Raft is just a special case of Paxos to try to simplify it, but regular Paxos isn't actually that hard, just use Paxos".

I was fairly junior at the time, and Raft seemed much more approachable, but after really forcing myself to read and understand the Paxos paper, I see what he meant. I am pretty sure most of the love for Raft was that the original whitepaper was just a better presentation. The actual Paxos algorithm is quite simple.

If you go into Raft already having mastered Paxos (as this DE was doing), it's clear that Raft is basically isomorphic to a special case of Paxos.
The next world war won't be fought until NATO powers are guaranteed to lose. Sounds like a great plan.

These objections don't seem terribly worthwhile.
The need to coat everything in layers to avoid hurting feelings all the time. I'm no bully but I've witnessed a lot of dead end discussions where people(myself included) couldn't express themselves freely enough so we just kept going without any real progress.

ps: for instance I could propose a change, but that would imply people who worked in this manner to feel bad or worse, humiliated. So I back off and we keep wasting time. Or that would mean me taking steps to ensure I've discussed that with them privately so they know it's not an attack nor a way to take the light, but a global need for the group to reach better goals in less efforts.
This seems like an ok time to plug a policy idea I have.

I think an alternative to raising minimum wage is to require all companies to offer a lot of paid vacation, like 3 or 4 months of paid vacation every year.

If people need more money, they can use their paid vacation time to work a second job. They'd be working the same 40-hours a week, but would receive double pay, thus increasing their income. It would also increase their security and market mobility because they have 2 jobs. If one job is treating them shitty, then they at least have a second job and more opportunity to get out. It would create more competition among employers to hold onto employees. People will put up with a lot when you're their sole source of food, but if you provide only a portion of their income, you will have to treat workers better.

It would also have a lot of mental health and family benefits throughout all rungs of society, except for the most well off, who already have unlimited PTO.

This idea has received more downvotes overall (which is simply to say it's unpopular), but I've never had anyone explain what they don't like about it.
In Asia it's like all mini split systems right? So they are seen. but I don't know why the OP decided to compare Asia vs US given this big difference.

Mini splits are super simple to install so it would make since it's cheaper.

There hasn’t been destruction of the family. People don’t have the ability to start families because they can’t afford the burden. People can’t start families because the adoption agencies are run by religious organizations who are fraught with child trafficking.
Religion might offer belonging on a small scale, but for the most part it’s used to make “us vs. them” arguments and divide us. Christians, (70/30 protestant/catholic) for example, invaded Poland in the 1940s, and wiped out what would have been ancestors of cousins I can never meet because they were atheist, Jewish, or otherwise.
The issue has to do with social media and tailored content. The more people use these tools, the features train on people’s clicks and send them down rabbit holes, and nobody is on the same page anymore. People don’t know how to distinguish the truth from fiction- in fact, media outlets HAVE become a dogmatic religion in itself.
There shouldn’t be some onus on people getting forced to be married or have kids, either. Plenty of people have family in a great group of friends. It is the people who isolate, especially men and women, who are told to behave in ways that are probably not who they are at their core, that end up being susceptible to the stuff you posted. I hope you are not lonely, but I assume from your comment that may be the case. Please stop frustrating yourself and enter relationships with whoever’s nearby, you don’t even have to share the same views.

Sure, Raku has its roots in Perl. But if multiple dispatch is the big thing for Julia, why wouldn't it be for Raku?

Other things Raku has that Perl doesn't have:
- grammars built in, in fact Raku itself uses a Raku grammar to parse itself
- a sane and genuine async / multi-thread / event model
- Rational arithmetic, big integers and complex numbers by default
- lazy lists: say (1..Inf)[42] won't hang
- Junctions; a == 42 | 666 | 314
- Gradual typing and coercions

> I am not familiar with Raku, but

Perhaps it's time to familiarize yourself a bit more with Raku :-)

There's a lot of details missing from your post, but it's basically a requirement for many of the structural connections (joists/joists hangers) on a deck to be done with nails. Screws are typically very brittle and will snap under high wind loads that decks experience, unless you buy special ($$$) screws. Nails are malleable and will allow more flexing and bending before failing.

There are other structural connections though, and depending on how they are built nails can be perfectly acceptable, bolts may be the right choice, or screws may be. This depends on a lot of factors.
I've only had one install done. The issue was a failed power optimizing after only a couple of years.

Chesapeake oysters are one of the great success stories of marine species restoration: https://e360.yale.edu/features/a-remarkable-recovery-for-the...
