> Obviously stereotypes about assuming any individual is a drug dealer is racist. But I think it’s reductionist to say that’s really the only place opposition to immigration is coming from.

Nowhere have I argued for any particular immigration policy. Immigration law is complicated and I get that. I have only taken a stance against nationalism. We can have a rational discussion about immigration without resorting to nationalist stereotypes and rhetoric.

> Italian immigrants brought the Mafia with them—the turn of the 20th century was a peak in the country’s foreign born population and also its homicide rate.

Not the stats I'm finding. Foreign-born population as a percentage is pretty constant from 1870 to 1910, while murder peaks between 1920 and 1930, after the foreign-born population has already started its precipitous decline. Murder then begins a dramatic increase in the 1970s, a decade in which the foreign-born population is at an all time low. Between 1990 and 2020 the murder rate has dropped dramatically even as the foreign-born population has grown to levels not seen since 1920.

This is exactly the kind of nationalistic rhetoric I object to. People spout "facts" that they heard from other people that would at best amount to a correlation if the numbers were true—and the numbers rarely are true—and use those "facts" as justification for stereotypes.

> Folks created settlements and kept to themselves.

Not really. The early settlers in my area fought wars with and displaced the natives—there are place names around here that still reflect those battles. The same is true in Oregon, as anywhere else in the Americas.

> And immigrants do change the culture.

Agreed! I'm observing it right now in my area.
Losing Signal
My understanding is that low-fee accounts with low balances have never been profitable for banks. Perhaps they were used as a way to bolster the bank's image and/or as a long-term loss leader to attract customers who might eventually become profitable. As long as a bank has few competitors and those competitors are also subsidizing unprofitable accounts then everyone can afford to do so.

But this is an unstable equilibrium.

If competitors focus on attracting more profitable customers then I'd imagine that this subsidy becomes unsustainable as unprofitable customers migrate to banks with lower fees and minimums and profitable customers migrate to banks with higher rates. (Which those banks can afford to pay because they are no longer subsidizing as many unprofitable customers.)

> I guess we might still have some big game studios?

We've got Creative Assembly (owned by Japan-based Sega), Rockstar North (previously DMA Design and founded the GTA series, now owned by US-based Rockstar ofc), Jagex (owned by a US PE company), and a whole host of others mostly now owned by US companies.

There's a piece of wisdom floating around that the UK is actually really good at building tech and tech-adjacent companies, bu really bad at scaling them beyond a certain point. We don't have the BigTech companies China and the US do (nobody does, really), but we're a pretty open economy that American firms are comfortable doing business with, so lots of promising companies get acquired before they hit _big_.
We should also limit stoves to 20 degrees in case someone touches it, it's the same thing.

Initially there was just the silly "EU warning" that meant after X (supposed, because not all equipment is made equal) decibels, it would not go higher unless you actively confirmed you would be exceeding said limit, however that has made way by just reducing output all the time - not everyone is happy with cheap crap, some of us have higher quality equipment that needs the power and clarity, whereas muggles are happy with what sounds like a brick in a washing machine.

If you can't judge what a safe volume is without experiencing discomfort or ringing afterwards, you've probably got bigger risks.

It also ignores that with age, hearing naturally reduces in both fidelity and perceived volume, so what are the rest of us supposed to do?
Curiously enough, chlorine radicals and volatile organic compounds from coal and wood combustion have the opposite effect in the lower atmosphere, where the interaction increases ozone production (due to reaction with various nitrogen oxides). This also generates the lung irritant PAN which is a component of brown smog:

https://www.nature.com/articles/srep36821

> "The chlorine radical is a potent atmospheric oxidant, capable of perturbing tropospheric oxidative cycles normally controlled by the hydroxyl radical. Significantly faster reaction rates allow chlorine radicals to expedite oxidation of hydrocarbons, including methane, and in polluted environments, to enhance ozone production... Even when present at low levels, Cl radicals can have a profound impact on tropospheric oxidation and radical cycling. Cl chemistry can significantly impact levels of tropospheric ozone, a greenhouse gas that is also a precursor for the OH radical, destroying it in clean environments and enhancing its formation under polluted conditions."

Incidentally, Australia's massive wildfires of 2019-2020 produced about 700 million tons of CO2, which is only about 1/3 of Australia's annual fossil CO2 generation from coal (counting total production of Australian coal, of which only about 1/5th is burned in Australia itself, the rest being exported).

If you want to eliminate fossil fuel use, and aren't just posturing for political convenience, stopping production makes a lot more sense than stopping emissions at point-of-use.

> Paul Graham (Y Combinator co-founder) has a lot of essays on Lisp or mentions of Lisp

Nobody mentions them much here for some reason, but also the books ANSI Common Lisp and On Lisp, at one time considered almost essential reading. I still think they're fantastic but they're not for instant gratification as they don't give you much in terms of immediate practical applications or real world system examples. Nevertheless they are among my favorite books on programming and I wouldn't be surprised if many people who come here similarly "cut their teeth" with those books.
That would never work for a variety of reasons, namely that it would result in an unsustainable amount of litigation. Arguments would also be made that copyright exists not just for the creator but for the public good, and if it harms society as a whole (which is conceivable if any given datum shared has a high probability of being a copyright violation) then it couldn't be justified. That is, of course, the insidiousness of copyright; it's used against the public routinely under the guise that it helps the public.

> the biggest problem with Ally is that they are still a bit of a "savvy bank"

Being savvy is one of the ways that people can lift themselves out of poverty. Unfortunately, there is no way to force people to be savvy, and there is also no way to make regular banks be like savvy banks.
When you find the path you need smoothest is the path from compiling/running code to _correctly working_ code, I think that's where Rust shines. Yes, writing code that will compiler is harder; and yes, you _will_ learn to more effortlessly write code that compiles.

Author here. One thing I really enjoy about this team is that we're trying to avoid silos and build a cohesive team that can flex when needed. As Matt mentioned, a number of the boards discussed are a result of someone jumping in and helping where there was a need.

I just use an iPad Air with Goodnotes (notes app) and Kindle (e-reader), in exactly the same way you use the Remarkable.

These Remarkable tablets seem awfully expensive for what they provide, almost like "lifestyle gimmicks" like those minimal Light phones which cost as much as a smartphone.

How people deal with distractions is largely on them, rather than the devices. People shouldn't need to buy a stripped down (but premium-ly priced) device. You can probably just take another product and configure it downwards (disable notifications, remove apps, set app timers) if focus is such an issue.

"Feature packed" - remove apps you don't want, configure UI of what you do want.

"prematurely obsolete" - Remarkable are already on a 2nd device. Who's to say there won't be a third, fourth, fifth?

"demands way too much attention from users" - just turn notifications off.
Giving people living in generational poverty a handout is the BEST way to keep them enslaved on government largesse. You need to take that money and invest in their neighborhoods and lift the entire neighborhood out of poverty by educating them. My God, how many eons is the saying "Give a man a fish..." been around? Yet the best idea we still have is to hand money out to absolve ourselves of collective guilt?

Look at San Francisco. Their homelessness budget is over $600 million a year, and yet, homelessness is the WORST its ever been. That's because homelessness "activists" keep the homeless as farm animals, living in homelessness without actually trying to help them elevate themselves. Look at the open drug markets and free access to drugs and needles they have. This is all to keep them enslaved in drugs and homeless without trying to help them.

Because if they solve the problem of homelessness, they won't have jobs anymore. They are like the pharmaceutical industry except at the grassroots level.
"deregulation heightens competition" is corporate lobbyist speak for "take power from the government of the people, by the people, for the people (supposedly) and give it to existing large corporations to be used against employees and any small competitors that offer things people actually want".
The efficient processor they've chosen requires on the order of 20 microamps per megahertz at 1.8V to run code out of Flash, or 1.7 milliwatts of power. It draws only about 0.004 milliwatts in deep sleep, and takes less than a microsecond to enter and exit deep sleep.

Their energy-harvesting switches produce 0.33 milliwatt-seconds when pressed or released.

So you want to be efficient and enter deep sleep whenever possible. If you can have a duty cycle that looks like "Take sensor reading and run computation when button is pressed or when timer elapses, transmit over BLE, update e-ink display, or whatever our device does, then go back to sleep after 2 ms" that's easy - at even absurdly fast update rates of ~20 Hz, you're only using a 4% duty cycle and drawing an average of just 0.07 mW, requiring one button press every 10 seconds or so.

If you've got 3 button clicks per second, you can stay active all the time. But neither a 3 Hz button-press rate, nor a non-sleep-using firmware are reasonable. Of course, when you're bringing in a full ~10 mW of power continuously from the solar panels, the buttons are kind of a nice-to-have, you'd have to mash them at crazy rates to even equal the panels.

They're not even close to the potential efficiency of the processor - they're running an emulator for goodness' sake, which was almost certainly not designed with power saving in mind. If they started from the ground up reverse-engineering the Gameboy functions with the goal of maximizing power efficiency, yes, it's perfectly reasonable to assume that they could run continuously.

The OP is entirely about how `&` is misunderstood and misused, and how just adding `&` to appease the compiler is a common learner behavior. The author then explains `&var` and `&mut var` not in terms of their nature as references but in their aspects of mutability. Your view is the way understanding of the language should proceed, but I argue that it is not the reality in fact.

Can someone add context to the “gets bought out” part?
All things being equal, you're right. I'd want to avoid the issue of wanting a lawyer and prefer the resources of a larger corporation making those decisions

But they're not equal.

The police can acquire a warrant and serve it to a select few megacorps for ALL of the footage at a specific location for a specific time range. That's setting aside some policies where there's active cooperation between the megacorp and the police. By hosting it myself, I avoid this sort of blanket privacy violation.

In my particular situation, I'd guesss it would entirely eliminate police acquiring a warrant for my footage unless I'm a criminal suspect or there was a crime committed in my front yard. Maybe I'd be a bit more forthcoming anyway if a crime happened on my property :P

Maybe your situation is different?

"and spending it on poverty relief programs could eliminate poverty to a large degree in the U.S."

No, it won't, assuming you're talking about existing programs. The current programs aren't designed to fix the problems the recipients face. They're merely designed to keep people alive (food, medical care, etc). They have absolutely nothing to do with getting those people jobs with pay high enough to exit the support system. Many of the people on those relief programs work, but simply don't make enough. So in that regard your last sentence allpies to your own statement: "It's that we're spending it on the wrong things".
