It's not exactly tiny (5.5M people and a land area larger than Arizona). It's not a monoculture either with a history of multiple ethnicities, diverse languages and a sequence of foreign rulers from both East and West. The Swedish-speaking minority was dominant in Finland until the early 20th century and it was part of the Russian empire.

If anything, Finland is a lesson in how a disparate group of people in the poorest corner of Europe can come together, say "Looks like we're a country now, how do we want to do this thing?" and succeed.
So if a dictator's hold on power is weak, is it not a dictatorship? Imagine there have been 2 coups over 15 years, yet both produced a winner-takes-nearly-all outcome.

Not sure it matters much if you're at the bottom and have to bow to one for a while then the other.
Not only that, but Zotero are also incredibly generous with their storage offer. You can read and annotate PDFs on your iPad and have the annotations sync instantly with the desktop client. You can then import the annotations into Obsidian for post-processing and create flashcards, which you can then sync with Anki.

inaccurate

There are lots of features that are currently nightly-only. you may or may not need these depending on what you are doing.
In particular kernel development does require quite a few nightly-only features, but there is no reason to think that all of these won't make it into stable rust in due course.

totally incorrect
Sorry, I wasn't super clear, as my comment was in regard to the ability to purchase in grocery stores. There are licensed beer distributors as well.

That is, the only reason why you can purchase beer in grocery stores here is due to a legal loophole.

As of today beer distributors sell quantities smaller than a case.

Why? They can still go and watch all the football games they’ve paid for.

Being outraged that they’re not allowed to drink beer during a football match in Qatar is more an indication of their alcohol dependency.

Yes, unfortunately this is a serious problem with us in the West. We feel hugely entitled to behave as we like anywhere in the world.

Case in point Grinder taking cannabis products into Russia. Shocking behaviour by most of the world's standards. But apparently didn't even cross her mind Russia has its own rules.

I'd say I'm a heavy drinker. But even I can see that forgoing alcohol in a foreign country is as obvious as me stopping smoking weed when I get home from Amsterdam.
Four communities in the US have ended chronic homelessness: https://www.usich.gov/communities-that-have-ended-homelessne...

This means that, if someone does become homeless in one of those communities, it is brief and one-time. The communities were able to achieve this by providing adequate shelters and housing assistance both before and after people lose their homes. They also used person-by-person outreach to make sure they found everyone who was homeless and got them housing.

To me, it seems like that doesn't line up with the idea that some people are predisposed to chronic homelessness/resistant to getting housing.
Japan doesn't give housing to the homeless and they don't have a homeless problem.
I've tried Mastodon, but 'forgot' my password. Password reset never comes through the email so there's that about the alternative. Twitter, so far, seems to be mostly abuzz with Musk but overall not affected yet. It'd be an apt time for google to take on at least a couple of devs leaving twitter and try to restart their buzz/plus service. Musk, so far, hasn't shown that he knows what he's doing nor portrays confidence in how he handles stuff. Time will tell, maybe we're all wrong.

92% of the population of Finland are ethnically homogeneous. That manifests as shared values, goals, and choices.

Frankly, such a suggestion is foolish on its face.
> Just use wireguard. It really isn't that hard.

For us. For the folks who browse HN all day, yeah. But have you tried getting a non-technologist to use it? I set a friend up with Tailscale between her Synology and laptop and it was a breeze - something I could do over the phone. For me getting Wireguard set up wasn't tricky, but I definitely leaned on Google some, and I would argue I know what I'm doing.

I would love for a company to release bridge as open source that I could deploy on a VM somewhere but still have it be Tailscale easy for normal folks, but there's no money in that model.
This is Clojure, not Javascript though.

Sort of. When I think of "which language is fast", I think of "when using idiomatic style". That, to me, is a good measure of how fast the language is, in general.

Benchmarks on aggressively optimized code are fun and interesting too, because they can tell you the hard lower limits of performance in the language runtime. But most people will never end up optimizing their code so thoroughly, so it's not particularly useful if you're interested in how a real working program will perform.
Those quotes are right on the money.

It's why daytime talk radio has greatly contributed to the decline of discourse and civility in America; it has a giant captive audience that made divisive blowhards like Rush Limbaugh and many others enormous fortunes.

Cheap and relentless negativity scales much better than positivity and is more addicting. Nobody is happy-scrolling through social media, and the only people still making money on radio are shock jocks.
It's hard to call this a strategy when the reason TikTok operates the way it does in China is due to regulation. Instagram reels promotes the same garbage, does the CCP direct Meta as well? If you tried to push for the same kind of social media regulation in the US, the internet would shut down in protest.
>Housing First does not work for the mentally ill, drug addicted, or other causes of homelessness

This claim seems a bit far-fetched - "non-economically homeless" probably would be simpler to help with their underlying issues if they didn't live on the streets.

Do you have anything to back your claim up?
If there was ever a comment in need of a cite, this is it.
Instant governance decisions that does not require a case worker.
Vulnerable women and children are likely to avoid housing where mentally ill or high men would be because they _can_ (not saying all) be violent, aggressive and simply scary. (screaming is a common thing I've witnessed)

It simply does not work as universal idea. People need to feel safe in their homes.

But only banks do this, not Google itself (although I guess they do lend money so maybe?).

Ultimately more fiat at the end of the day doesn't matter either - what matters are real goods and services produced. Of course, crypto has not been good with respect to this either...

Financial services only produce value insomuch as they enable people to access goods and services in the 'real economy'. Houses and cars for consumers, and for those who produce goods/services, capital that enables them to produce, whether that be loans for equipment, salaries, whatever, as long as something comes out at the end that there's somebody willing to buy (and for that to be sustainable, there should be a reason to own it more than selling to somebody else).

Money is only useful insomuch as it enables exchange that leads to more real things people want.

So there is some value in the exchange of cryptocurrency, if nowhere near enough to justify its valuation - after all, it does enable people to purchase all sorts of illegal drugs, which is a real good people want.

Other than that, financial speculation (pretty much every other application we usually see of cryptocurrency) is all well and good, but the question at the end of the day is what's the underlying stuff being speculated upon, and how does it correspond to stuff people actually want? Financial instruments on housing and corn at least have some relation to things people want, after all.
The irony of this is that when it was recorded BTC was worth less than it is now.

Also, this is not the end of crypto its probably gonna get way worse but crypto isn't gong away. But hopefully all the useless and fraud projects do.
Their middle man in the data plane handles encrypted packets so that's not the problem here.

The problem is their control plane that controls the encryption keys. A malicious admin inside TS (or a hack) could grant itself membership in any of their customer's networks. (Or at least this is the worry I read from GP)

Ha, yeah I don't mind Budvar but there aren't too many pubs in my part of the country that sell it on tap (there's one ~10 mins walk from me but I'd have to walk past about 4 better pubs to get there). And by now "Budweiser" pretty universally refers to the American beer. I should stress that I actually don't mind those US style "lite beers" - there's a time and a place for them. But that is not in Czech Republic in winter :)
This seems pathetic, like a bunch of twitter addicted journalists who've walked away from twitter but can't give up their addiction to being special on twitter.

The twitter check was never a mark of credibility. Most of Fox News had twitter checks.
This is absurd, frankly.

"The US government collects taxes on US citizens, why not let China collect taxes on US citizens? Its the same."

"The US government throws US citizens in jail, why not let Chine throw US citizens in jail? Its the same."

Yeah, it would be great if the Federal government turned down their surveillance. That doesn't make it okay for China to run psy-ops against us.

Apologies for noting, but you spelt the interrobang wrong. (It is "interro-bang". That is also a mnemonic. What you instead did was to dump a rushed knee-jerk position there and then start reconsidering it and nurturing doubts. The interrobang is when first you disbelieve as absurd but are progressively facing the ghastly reality that the suspicion may be a fact - the doubt dissipates.)
Probably the only feature I like about Java.

Software engineering salaries are just very low in Europe in general, when compared to the US. A junior in a major city in the US with a Bachelor's degree and no relevant job experience will make more than a senior with 10+ years of experience in Germany.

I'm not exaggerating: Kununu.com has €86,000 p.a. as the top-end for a "realistic" software engineering wage in Germany, glassdoor.com lists $84,000 p.a. as the low end for their "most likely" range.

Doesn't banning a social network undermine the democratic principles you mention?
Well, I'd agree; the fact that that's allowed is an obvious miscarriage of justice.

But it's also how the system is explicitly supposed to work; it doesn't make for a strong "facts-based" argument for clemency.
I second this - the number of ill-informed loudmouths here making off-the-wall claims like "subscriptions are universally hated" boggle my mind

The mental health dimension is often less extreme than people imagine. It can be something like a depressed but otherwise "normal" person hitting an unusually low point and being put on suicide watch. Because they are not allowed any outside communication, they can easily lose their job, and now they have potentially exorbitant medical bills to pay on top of trying to recover mentally. Thus begins their slide into homelessness. UBI could be a backstop against this as we hopefully make progress fixing healthcare.

One of the biggest strengths of UBI is that it eliminates the beurocracy and waste associated with determining who "deserves" assistance. The dominant model in the US is expecting homeless people with drug problems to solve both their addiction and homelessness at the same time by themselves before they are deemed worthy of being helped, which needless to say is barely assistance at all. Having a gaurenteed income stream would make it easier to gain a foothold.
Very different preferences can be mental health problems, in the sense that their mental state isn't compatible with a healthy society. Even if someone "really" prefers blocking sidewalks with all their worldly possessions and shitting on the streets, that's a problem.
> where would you find the extra trillions needed every year?

From where does that number come? Will not the increased productivity of the population make up for any possible cost?

It seems that the USA has found a lot of trillions from to subsidize from oil and tech companies to wage war. Why are that costs more important than a real investment in the citizens of the USA?

It's a swindle. I might drink some American Anheuser-Busch Budweiser (not to be confused with actual Budweiser) instead of good beer for solidarity.
The dream of self-documenting code requires solving two problems, only one of which programmers are typically good at.

1) Communicating with computers

2) Communicating with other humans

Self-documenting code is essentially writing prose. Granted, to someone with similar knowledge as you.

But most people suck at writing.
That's a huge quality of life improvement, and I didn't realize it's been around for so long! I will have to give this a try.

I don’t understand the fetishism for type G plus so many folks seem to have. The design with the included fuse (and the necessary size for that) is solving a very UK specific problem (ring circuits). In any other case type E/F and N seem strictly superior.
On android at least it's not easy to find people on other servers other than if someone you follow reblogs them.

>Why should they bother? They can go into electrics at their own pace, when the infrastructure and demand is better, and still eat Tesla's lunch.

I had a lecture about electric mobility last semester where a tech lead (don't want to dox them) from Daimler's electric truck program and a tech lead from Daimler's electric car program were invited. In regards to electric trucks things seem to be going great but the electric car program had massive problems with Tesla. The person in question was very hyped about the competition but admitted they got beat with the previous gen cars and that they had to completely redesign their processes to be quicker since Tesla is constantly updating their models. They were hoping to be slightly better than Tesla this gen and to get ahead next gen. So in summary I'd say that didn't turn out great for them.

>It's not like people want them to optimize for acceleration anyway...

The many YouTube views of teslas beating sports cars would beg to differ. If people didn't want acceleration everyone would be driving an 80HP hatchback or a 120-160HP SUV.

You have proof of this?

The polices in CA on housing are not economic, they are a 3 legged combo of

1. Wealth protection. people like it when the house they own goes up in value 15% YoY . and dislike it if it drops. Even if over 5 years a person home went up 10% every year, then 1 year dropped 3%, they would be EXTREMELY pissed about the 3% and vote out the government that caused it. Thus a heavy incentive to ensure housing ALWAYS increases in cost

2. Environmentalism gone extreme.. Every housing plot has some endangered beetle that just must be saved

3. NIMBY preventing higher density housing, and creating minimum house sizes that are basically McMansions

None of which are economic or economists recommended
