> Of course anyone can leave the country and its government, that is basic human right,

By “leave” I meant “secede”, not “emigrate”.

>you just cannot take a part of country with you, because all other citizens have the same rights for that part of country like you.

Do they? The Scottish claim the right to hold a secession referendum without the input of the English. This claim is rooted in their natural human right to self-representation. The UK claim that they (i.e. the English and the Welsh) get a say in the matter—but where does this claim originate? The answer, of course, is the political Union. But is it just to allow the (merely political) “rights” of the English to trump the fundamental human rights of the Scotts? I think not. If you examine the foundation of those political rights (the Union), you’ll find that its legitimacy is derived entirely from the consent of the member states who formed the Union. In other words, the only way to deny the Scotts their right of self representation today is to point at the Union and say, “Sorry! Your great-great-great-great-great-great -great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandpa signed away your human rights when they joined the Union!” They had the right to self representation, but modern Scots don’t. It’s right there on the piece of paper!

This is laughable.

The idea that our systems of government can forever override our natural right to self-representation is—like I said—an extension of the old divine-right, monarchical systems.

> Obviously, but the society that decides that is a full body of citizens of the country, not just some subset based on ethnic lines or historical borders of ancient countries of the past.

The Scottish want to represent themselves. They get to define who “themselves” is—that’s the ‘self’ in self-representation.

> That would be nationalistic thinking of 19. century and we saw in 20. century where ethnic nationalism leads.

It is true that frustrated ethnic nationalism contributed to the wars of the 20th century, though they were hardly the sole or even the primary cause. In Postwar Europe, the neat matching of ethnic borders with national ones has done wonders for peace in the region. The handful of unstable areas exist where political borders do NOT neatly match ethnic lines—the borderlands of Ireland/North Ireland, Kosovo/Serbia, Russia/Ukraine. Not all such places in Europe are unstable, but most unstable places share this characteristic. Meanwhile it is universally acknowledged that the drawing of Middle Eastern and African borders without consideration for ethnic distinctions has been a leading cause of instability and unhappiness in those regions. So the idea that ethnic nationalism is bad in general is just wrong.

The idea that Scottish nationalism brings a risk of war and cataclysm is ass-backwards. The only possible way that Scottish nationalism spirals into violence if the English and Welsh attempt to establish their dominion over Scotland by force.

Which would, of course, be imperialism

From the article: "The Oankali tell Lilith humanity is doomed because of “two incompatible characteristics”: intelligence and a hierarchical nature."

That perspective points more towards perceived problems with anyone owning and controlling any large organization for any reason, doesn't it? It's basically 'power corrupts and the more power any single individual has, the more corrupted they become.'

Now, can you run large organizations with focused goals in what we'd call a democratic manner? Maybe a kind of multi-level (i.e. hierarchical) democracy, because why would you want someone with six months of experience having the same decision-making power as someone with six years of experience? Similarly, why would you want people not directly involved with the work (absentee owners and shareholders) making decisions about what kind of decisions the organization should make (i.e. which spaceship design is the best)?

It's entirely possible that humans have yet to invent the optimal organizational structure for coordinated efforts towards goals like establishing a viable human ecosystem on Mars, etc. Science fiction is of course an arena where such concepts can be speculated about, that's part of its value.

You adjust speed and cycling style to the conditions, and for winter cycling there are plenty of good options for studded tires. The Nordics have succeeded in making winter cycling a more common activity, and you might want to check out the "winter cycling capital of the world": Oulu, Finland.

I know several people who help write building codes in the US in various fields, and none of them are incompetent or write code other than to deal with known concerns based on past building performance and materials testing, etc. That there might be a problem with enforcement is more a byproduct of municipal professionalism in general than a problem with building codes. I have never seen hundreds of dollars in my (high cost of living) area for a fireplace inspection, but I guess it might exist as an outlier somewhere. Permits cost more, but that is because we have very low property taxes in California, and they recoup through the permits because they need funding from somewhere.

Not really feasible in a lot of cases without giving up things the business absolutely wants. I work on an e-commerce site for a large company. Marketing wants to track all clicks and user inputs and get heat maps to improve the conversion based on their findings. They want to know where their users come from, where they go to see if their campaigns work. They also want google maps integration to find retail stores. They want users who come back 2 days later to retain their shopping cart and their preferences even without a login in case they checkout without an account. They want dynamic A/B testing based on user behaviour and they don’t want to/can’t reinvent all these solutions so they go buy them and the devs get to integrate them - whether they like it or not and some things simply make it so that you need to store some data on the client and communicate it on the client in some way while not being completely anonymous.

This reminds me of the article "Catechism Class at British Universities" about similar policies in the UK, and that title neatly sums up how, while this conflict is being presented as about politics, it is really about religion.

People in earlier eras wouldn't have all been surprised by the requirement for all teaching and research to happen within a particular moral framework, whose tenets were not drawn from rational study or considered open to debate, but simply held as self-evidently correct. They wouldn't be surprised about lecturers or students having to attend prayers or recite scripture.

And all societies undergo periodic revivalism, where there is a constriction of what is considered ethically acceptable behaviour, enforced through a mixture of social ostracism and state and institutional coercion. The fact that the current revivalist movement is a secular religion instead of a spiritual one is a minor difference. Otherwise, it's little different from equivalent Victorian campaigns against immoral behaviour. It just feels unusual because we've been through such a long period of liberalisation and religious decline and perhaps fooled ourselves into thinking it was a permanent state of affairs.

Hi Jeremy

I noticed a large number of laptops on the website. Are you going for a support a large number of devices(Microsoft&Linux) approach?

It took being hit by a car three times (two minor collisions, the last one hospitalized me) for me to give up on the e-bike idea. Car drivers (at least in the Bay Area) are not ready for bikes going at speed, IMHO, they just don’t look, or at least, they don’t see.

This thing might work out better than the bike because it’s a lot more visible, but I actually doubt there’d be much take-up. As someone else said, a second-hand leaf or similar would probably be better.

Which I never understood.

If you're driving in the middle of the road, why does it matter if it's a NEV or a 18-wheeler? I think the same rules should apply.

That NEV can be rear-ended by a regular car at 80km/h and the car driver will be fine with their airbags and whatnot while the NEV driver is probably dead.

> A bullet has more kinetic energy because it's significantly faster than a bike

that's part of the problem.

The bullet is also shaped to cause damages

If the same 50 grams were a disc of few microns of thickness and a diameter of 50 cm, they would be much less dangerous.

A bike is shaped like a battering ram, an Ami has to pass very rigorous safety tests and is shaped to cause the less damage possible on impact, because it's the law.

So a bike going 20mph is more dangerous than an Ami going 25mph.

Because the Ami has a real braking system and it's possible to maneuver it out of the danger zone at the same time. A bike is much harder to handle in emergency situations, because, you know, the aforementioned gyroscope effect does not work as flawlessly as having 4 stable wheels on the ground.

Good news is that when a biker does some stupid shit, they can blame cars.

Except that when a bike hits a pedestrian it usually causes
grave damages, ask my cousin, who got a broken hip from a bike riding on the pavement.

That's like saying that rules around train safety were created after trains were invented.

Bike safety rules existed before, because bikes existed already.

That's a good question. What I'm thinking of (revealing my age) is something more like:

10 LET I = 1
20 PRINT I
30 LET I = I + 1
40 IF I <= 10 THEN 20
50 PRINT "DONE"

And because BASIC really is that primitive, you can talk about what each line of code is doing, without too much fiction. The mental virtual machine is not radically different from the real machine.

The teacher would draw the variables as boxes with numbers in them, and update the numbers in the boxes with the eraser and chalk (further revealing my age).

In contrast, Python starts with everything is an object, with properties and methods...

But I agree about the fancy generator stuff. I think you can teach Python in the same fashion by limiting yourself to a few basic (sic) features, and adopt the same virtual machine fiction while remembering that it's a few more layers of abstraction away from reality.

Since you are already a seasoned developer you can cut through a lot of the blog posts and courses that are aimed at junior developers. The two main resources I find myself reaching for are the Mozilla JS docs, and the React docs. React team is currently working on a new version of the docs, googling “React docs beta” should get you what you want.

As for things to learn, async/await and promises are probably the most complicated, but Mozilla will no doubt have documentation covering all of that.

For React, prefer small contained functional components, avoid classes and inheritance, and learn what hooks are and how they work.

For Typescript, avoid using any or unknown everywhere, avoid the urge to make very complex types, and generally stick to interfaces with minimal inheritance and you’ll be fine.

As you are jumping to an existing codebase follow the conventions of that codebase. Avoid the classic blunder of jumping into a new codebase and making massive changes.

Good luck!
