Do you have some evidence that Reagan received a major financial benefit in exchange for the policies of his administration?

The problem we have right now is that there are so many laws that the only people who know what they do are the lawyers for the industry they regulate.

So the problem is that 80% of them are inefficient and competition-destroying bad laws, but who do you ask to figure out which 80%? The people who know the answer are going to tell you to repeal the ones they don't like, which is most certainly not the same thing.

Reagan saw that we have too many bad laws we need to get rid of, but failed to solve the problem of determining which ones they are. That's the problem we still need to solve.
As a former embedded engineer on older Motorola and ARM processors I have seen reordering happening, and more than once had to check the generated assembly code, the other items more or less makes sense if you don't expect too much from your compiler, for example using volatile to get atomicity.

Using volatile on multi-threaded code is ok as long as you know what you are doing, for example kicking a watchdog at a defined physical address could be fine from different threads.

Also, I'm not 100% sure it's for the "same amount". To me it looks like Rails jobs have higher salaries, at least around here. But that could be because most Rails devs have many years of experience, I don't know.
The rules are foreigners are allowed to use VPNs, and foreign mobile phones aren’t censored at all. Chinese nationals are forbidden from using VPNs, but similarly to how piracy is illegal and can lead to large fines in the US,
Some people use VPNs without being caught.
It's great to hear that someone finds Replit's AI capabilities useful for accelerating their learning... However, I must point out that the post sounds like an advertisement for an overpriced product. Not poking the AI assistance in coding, it definitely can be valuable, but the effectiveness vs. cost-efficiency varies. 20 dollars per month for coding a chatbot, not worth it for me...

Keeping a running laptop in the freezer will keep it cool for a little, but eventually cause it to overheat. Refrigerators are good thermal insulators, but they work just as well at trapping heat as keeping it away (similar to your coffee mug). A running laptop is constant source of heat, whereas the freezer only gradually cools, relying on "trapping the cold" in.
There are quite a few people that use reddit to market their onlyfans.
I'm trying to think how I would ideally set up such a system. The person traveling is in the best position to determine the most cost effective way to travel. Ideally you could somehow determine or negotiate ahead of time what travel expenses should be and then just pay that to the employee. Then they would just travel as they like and either pocket any savings they can find, fly cheaper if they value their time less than the saved money or pay extra if they value flying first class.

Good incentive structures are hard.

If it was the same supplier, AOG Technologies, there isn't reallyuch an airline or direct customer of AOGs could heve done.

It was not a problem of absent documentation, because that is obviously rigorously checked by everyone in the chain. So Delta, and regulators, force suppliers to check all documentation for parts. Delta doesn't have to check their sub-tier suppliers documentation, since their tier one is a certified company (in Europe that would ne EASA Chapter 145 for maintenance). What Delta does, is auditing their tier 1s, those tier 1s audit their tier 1s (Delta's sub tier suppliers), and ao on and ao forth.

AOG was audited and certified, which means their paper wirk, process discriptions and so on were compliant. And then AOG cheated, kind of like showing good parts for audit and supplying crap later. If AOG, or anyone else, is that criminal, the only way to catch them is by chance or an investigation after a part fails.
I used a Samsung Chromebook sometime 5 years ago, and it couldn’t handle suspend/sleep well. I could leave it overnight with 80% and find it with 0% in the morning. So I learned to turn it off each time I stop using it. It booted within seconds anyways, so the only issue was to enter my gigantic generated password.

For me ChromeOS’s top UX fault is the password. You either do it with pin, or with a Bluetooth device to unlock. Otherwise it’s pain to enter the password.

We saw authentication errors in some very old ASP.NET apps that forced us to roll back to HTTP 1.1 after an attempt to upgrade to HTTP/2.

Google is the main driver of HTTP 2 and 3, so they just didn’t bother to include features used primarily by Windows.
Most people cannot see beyond the scope of their narrow lives. Therefore we see so many "it does not matter if google reads my emails". People to not think that it might be wrong that google reads everyone's mails, even people in the offices, government boards, etc. Amazon, and Google have the power to know everything about everybody.

The problem is that we do not know how companies treat and uses their data.

The problem is that it is hard to prove that something is abused, because data or somewhere. Your data could be constantly abused, and you would not know about it.

Corporations have multiple times shown that you cannot trust them with your data. Governments have multiple times that you cannot trust them. Sometimes tracks were lost because corporations intentionally removed proof of their wrongdoings on their servers!

If a system can be abused, it will be abused.

Just think what would Korean people think that people in America voluntarily install surveillance systems in their houses. Huh.

That is how we reach the final conclusion. America has never experience totalitarianism, and it cannot be brushed with a simple statement 'it will never happen here'. Even with the smallest chance of happening, it is so drastically dramatic scenario that it need to be stopped at all costs.
China censors the Internet because it doesn’t want its citizens to receive information from outside or unite together without its control. Censoring foreigners is not useful for either purpose so they don’t bother.
I don't think it's anything to do with the pace of advancement, it's more that many many of these 'advancements' look very obviously harmful, not 'potentially' harmful but actively and immediately harmful in the manner of a car with brakes that only work 90% of the time.

The way international roaming works, is similar to a VPN back to your home cellular network on the back end, this all happens transparently to the user. You can verify this whilst traveling if you browse to any site using IP geolocation, it will think you are in your home country.

Another reason many navies like turbines is that big diesels produce a lot of low frequency noise which travels very far underwater, so submarines can hear you coming from a very long distance.

Although many navies do operate combinations of diesels and gas turbines (CODAG etc.), in such cases the diesels need to be installed on special shock absorbing mountings, in some cases even with a diesel-electric drive to avoid coupling the vibrations of the engine to the hull via the propeller shaft.

> The performance of Rails serializers is still a nightmare

Well, The performance of Ruby is still a nightmare. Not just serializers. It's that serializers in Rails are the most prominent place where you'll have cpu-bound performance made visible.

But really. Just try anything cpu-bound (e.g. transform a huge list or CSV or so), and the lack of native, safe, threading, the horrendous performance of both the JIT compiler and the runtime and the language become apparent.

This isn't to criticize Ruby. Because once you see all the runtime inflection, the way it can modify itself runtime and the DSL magic it allows, the current performance is a magnificent feat! It should be impossible to have it perform at all, given these features.
That people managed to make such a beautiful language, with such marvelous features and still have it perform like it does, is a true engineering marvel.
> And dark matter is just matter from other universes.

This is a fun idea. You can illustrate it by drawing your classic 2D universe on a piece of paper, sprinkle metal dust around, and move it with magnets held above or below the paper. To the 2D creature, matter in their universe seems to be affected by forces from entirely invisible objects, but 3D creatures can observe exactly what's happening. Likewise our "dark matter" would simply be matter on different planes in the same >3D universe as us. We neither see it nor collide with it, but we observe its gravitational pull.
> Atomics and volatile solve different problems, though.

Yep, that's why atomics are only an alternative to uses of volatile _for atomicity_. For the original use case of accessing hardware registers, volatile is still the correct choice.

It is indeed possible for C11 atomics to be optimized, although interestingly, the three major compilers do very little such optimization. This paper [1] lists some optimizations that are implemented in LLVM and some that aren't; it's from 2015 but from some quick testing it seems like not much has changed since.

I'd like to throw in Phoenix LiveView here.

Rails wins every battle for initial development speed, as the conventions are so thorough and well thought out that nothing even remotely comes close. Laravel is creeping in, but it's not there yet IMO.

LiveView however, scales better (in every sense of the word). It also comes with batteries included (auth, database access, jobs, mailer, complete testing kit etc), little-to-no-DIY-JS, and one of the finest VMs there is (BEAM).

If nothing else, I'm happy that these projects all fight the "let's take a step back"-fight. At $DAYJOB I write React with Relay and the amount of hoops one needs to jump through is exhausting, even though I've been writing frontend JS for many years now and consider myself half decent in it.
Creating an aligned diffusion model is like trying to create an aligned axe. At the end of the day it's just a dumb tool with no real understanding. It doesn't have the ability to be "aligned".
The last part of your question has guided me towards many contemplations. The chances that we exist at the first time for anything is pretty unlikely.

But the rabbit hole goes further.

There's something I never see mentioned in this discussion: you can be flexible with what libraries/frameworks you pick, but you can also be flexible with what you build with those.

If doing things exactly the way you envision involves building the world from scratch, it's often better business to go with a "less elegant" solution that can be rapidly pieced together from mainly ready-made components.

I've often earned long-lasting trust and cooperation of clients by asking whether they would like to adjust (or forego entirely) that one feature, if the project ended up being 20 or more % cheaper/faster to deliver. And given that choice, it's surprising how flexible businesses can be.
This article talks about making Linux pipes faster, but other methods like shared memory or message queues might still be quicker. For example, in systems that need to move a lot of data quickly, the extra steps with pipes could slow things down. Also, when many threads are sharing data, pipes might cause more problems than other methods. So, the improvements in the article might not help much in real-world situations where speed is crucial.

In 2030 the AI can go and and search for the answer itself, by installing the environment in a container and trying to find a solution. It's something that is in some way possible even now, but probably not practical yet.

I remember when those complaints surfaced. However, re:

> This is distinct from the blanket slowdown users experience when they access foreign websites from within China

... I'm reasonably sure that happened after Google's exit from China, and the slowness complaints were about accessing Google services outside the GFW either in HK or abroad. (Not all Google services overseas were blocked: for example, Google+ was accessible albeit unreliable and slow.) I don't recall any slowness complaints about Google.cn (which was hosted inside China) when it was still a thing.

Where I live (Sweden) it’s legal to use GitHub (with or without a VPN). But if I fail to report 138000 USD in earnings I’d still be in for a world of hurt: First the tax authority would take about 100000-200000 USD from me. Then I’d be prosecuted for tax fraud. Nobody would be upset or come to my defense.

Not saying I prefer the Chinese system, but it’s interesting that in this specific case it’s probably more lenient.

EDIT: But I guess this guy didn’t have the option to report the income and pay his taxes? In that case it’s definitely another dimension of repression…
You tried to prove these are not independent moves by providing a few incidents out of a 1.4 billion country over a span of several years.

Bullshit. Nobody can factually, concretely state that climate change will go a specific, certain way to cause a specific certain amount of misery over the next century. There are too many technological, social, economic, and extremely complex climate variables at play for that to be a concrete assertion.

This isn't to say that measures to reduce carbon emissions can't or shouldn't be taken, they can and they should, but with a mind towards exactly what you deride, preventing as many people as possible from falling into draconian economic and social misery. That at least is something we concretely know to be possible if governments adopt the wrong control measures in a heavy handed way. The pandemic showed it clearly and concretely in many forms.

We're not talking here about the impending, concrete impact of a large asteroid, or a super volcano eruption that's definitely imminent, where mass economic sacrifice for the sake of saving humanity would be understandable. Climate change is, despite all the political fanfare, something that has too many variables to clearly define as a cataclysm.

Given that, there is nothing selfish about wanting to avoid misery and "dying" for yourself and your children in the face of ambiguous predictions about future events. If you're so convinced that "some things are worth dying for", what stops you from applying your own advice instead of preaching sanctimoniously to others?
Intelligence, or consciousness? As a novice in all the technical aspects, I fail to see the distinction between a 'self updating internal model', and a human conscious experience.

Or an American company like Microsoft, Google or Apple. Those have some development done in Sweden, but you can get employed anywhere in the EU much easier than in the US, at least Visa wise, or take technical support roles and move on later to the US.
