Voting under duress, when a voter is forced to vote in a specific way and make a selfie of them with the filled ballot as proof. It’s solved by allowing to cast the vote electronically as many times as you like until election ends.

Voter suppression. Voting day can be a workday, ballot box can be in a remote location: those factors together remove day workers who can’t take a day off from voting. Partially amended by mail voting, completely eradicated by electronic voting.

And the biggest issue: trust. The less democratic a country is, higher the chance that the electorate commission is dependent on government. There’s no way for a voter in paper based election to check if their ballot was counted in the end. Once again, can be solved with electronic voting.

What you're missing is that you can't defame a business. Only if that business is very strongly connected to a single person.

Did you ever tested the Stroop effect in a language, and how it effects depending on the proficiency in that language?

Language is certainly not the sole factor of conscious interpretation of all phenomena, stimuli and mechanisms that induce it, but it definitely is a factor with measurable effects.

And probably this is a skill where individual feel like the largest degree of freedom — the topic of whether this feeling is a mental illusion or backed on hard-wired physics is a distinct point.

Trying to destroy credibility of whole class of people striking them with an anathema like "mysticism" implies forgetting a bit quickly that Descarte’s grand scheme of thought came to live thanks to three dreams, Newton was found of alchemy and Russel dedicated a whole essay specifically to "Mysticism and Logic".

> I assure you I see these colours the same as you do.

Maybe not if I’m colour blind, right?

Now, this is not to promote the extreme other side: I don’t believe in an "absolute relativism" that would allow culture to shape arbitrary anything anyway regardless of any fundamental conditions that enabled human beings to form.

But certainly there a whole set of shade between this two poles (and beyond the linear spectrum they induce).

This is pushed by people in the EU who aren't elected, so the only solution is to lobby for our countries to leave the EU.
Government economists say the government needs more tax money. Very convincing.

Instead of making people dependent on social welfare systems, and funneling money to useless bureaucracies, how about we force the billionaires to put that money to use in the markets? Not just stocks and bonds. Most certainly not NGOs/non-profits (they siphon enough public money). Venture capital, urban renewal projects, interests that promote science + discovery.
and then Excel has another inconvenient UI to manage all that, so it's not really easy overall
This isn’t contributing much, especially because it’s not a valid comparison. The iPhone 4 issue only affected people who used their phones without a case and held it unusually tightly or while sweating profusely (I tested this when news came out and it was not easy to reproduce) - not great, and an embarrassing gaffe for a company specializing in hardware, but very far from being equivalent to a problem rendering the device useless for all users.
Good. But this will keep festering until it is killed for sure.

And even then they will just rehash it in a different form and push it again.

The problem is also, this won't work. The pervs will simply use something else, prompting even stronger regulation to avoid having unapproved apps etc. Meanwhile we will all live in a panopticon society for no tangible benefits. In the end it could even kill FOSS and open computing because anyone who can edit the code can edit out the spyware.
There seems to be a pop-psychology obsession with sociopaths which doesn’t seem much based on reality. One’s ability for empathy is something of a spectrum, and there’s no magic number where a specific lack of empathy renders someone a sociopath. Further, lack of empathy doesn’t necessarily render someone a sociopath; they also need to be aggressive and cruel. (Many people who lack empathy are perfectly nice, and are simply socially awkward-but-well-intending)

People seem to be afraid of the “sociopath” in their midst, but I wonder what they’re not just misidentifying people who disrespect them, or don’t get along with them very well. For instance, perhaps the “sociopath” bullies a victim, but is perfectly empathetic to some of the other people in his life. His empathy is applied at least somewhat selectively. And selectively applying empathy seems to me to be a description which could fit almost anyone.
Interesting how "new and special" that seems in the UK with only daily prices? There are many providers offering hourly pricing in the Netherlands if you want to. I've seen some projects by enthusiasts to link those APIs to smart home systems and essentially use very cheap energy by timing their larger loads to the low-price moments. Especially on days with a lot of wind and solar energy.
If you're in a happy committed relationship why not make a declaration that you'll remain in it even if at some point you are not happy? It's a good move because if both parties make that commitment (they could do it in public to increase the pressure to keep it) there's a better chance that there will in fact be long term happiness.

Or as Shakespeare would say, "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet."
Of course, what everyone wants is for the tax system to encourage firms to lay off all their local employees!

Because once the government has offshored all the nation's industry and private sector jobs, the public can go and build dams for the government for freshly printed dollars, and there are absolutely no downsides to this...

The Pi's a bit limited due to its pretty terrible I/O performance, finicky power system and the insistance on sticking with old broadcom chips.

The broadcom thing made sense to begin with, they got a great deal on the pricing. But with the likes of the Rock Pro being pretty much on a price parallel now (and higher performing) it no longer makes sense.

The design is heavily inspired by Minimongo. I used Meteor extensively in the past, but since moving away from it, I've missed the simplicity of reactive data handling on the client-side through Minimongo.

I agree... in the past they would have gotten harpooned and quickly communicated to others that going near human boats was a bad idea.

I think coming up with some non-lethal way of deterring them might be a good idea. A killer whale taser of some sort. Just sitting there watching it tear your boat to shreds seems like a bad idea.
I’m seeing an article written in 2009 that includes his quote.
Speaking to the Miami, Orlando, Tampa route—the problem isn't the rail. It’s that the end point public transportation options in Orlando and Tampa sucked at the time those proposals were warm in the political conversation. Uber/Lyft could help improve that now, but the conversation has cooled.

Those cities have serious sprawl. Miami at least has metrorail, but the Tampa Bay Area and Orlando…post HSR transit options would be limited.
This comment is interesting because these are the same countries that are often used to show how “backwards” the US is due to their comparatively strong safety nets, etc. I guess when it comes to Europe, people can only pick and choose the best example for each discussion despite it varying wildly just like the US, is that right?

I'd say it ultimately depends on the information you're encrypting. Information and secrecy around it often has some sort of temporal/time relationship tied to the information and surrounding context. If it's something you wish to protect indefinitely or for a long time into the future, it's important to consider now. If n the other hand it's some rotating fairly randomly generated password that expires monthly, quarterly, whatever or say session information that expires after a period then you don't need to worry so much about this. Context of the information you're protecting is important to determine time periods you wish to protect it for and you should already be considering this today when choosing protection strategies, IMO.

That article is from 2009 about Toyota announcing a 10x lithium ion wonder-battery due in ~2015. That didn't happen. Now, in 2023, Toyota promises a solid-state wonder-battery soon (tm). Since wonder-battery announcements from Toyota have proven unreliable before we shouldn't hold our breath for today's wonder-battery announcement from Toyota.

It's hardly surprising, the incentives are structured to reward psychopathy. Ideas like "a company's primary goal is to maximize shareholder value" reward winning at any cost. Lofty ideals like ethics only enter the picture if lack thereof hurts the bottom line.

expect that those comments are written by people who can be quite literate and grammatically proper when they wish to be. more about context; in code the punctuation has different meaning and the language is accessory to that already.

alternately, terse comments on top of GnarlyNaming.Conventions.andVerboseclass.HeirArchies.plus_GoofyCapitalizations and so forth might just indicate that programming causes brain damage, specifically to the language centers.

I would love to give props to this person but it seems he's rich enough to afford to live.

I have friends who can barely make ends meat. They can't afford to move to a nice place, or spend time with their kids, or spend time at the gym. They do what it takes to survive.

Yes, quitting a mind numbing job with a heft savings and a spouse who has enough income to help support you while you work on entrepreneurial projects is amazing for those who can. But few can.

This has been a thing even among generic memes for a while now. You can't say kill or suicide on Tiktok, so you say "unalive".

What's more worrying is that the Tiktok speak is leaking into normal conversations. The platform has such influence that its censorship is shaping language for an entire generation. Shitty English like "to unalive someone" isn't particularly disturbing, but it shows the power the platform has. They could easily take out the doublespeak, they know damn well what's going on, they just tolerate these "workarounds".

Youtube and other social media also had their own censorship rules, but they were usually centered around swear words and blatant hate speech. Tiktok is taking this to a whole new level and nobody seems to care.

Technically yes but in most cases you dont need an sbc. An old Lenovo Thinkcentre or Dell OptiPlex Micro can end up being cheaper by the time you add all the additional expenses onto the pi (storage, power, case, etc). The micropc's are also infinately better performing and are upgradable.
It's not exclusive to big business.

Often laws are drafted without considering business models that have yet to be thought of. When those businesses start operating it's common for laws to be changed to ensure they are properly regulated.

A Note on Probability
> The more layers the attacker has to break and the harder each layer is, the better.

No its not, when it comes to end-user app performance, experience or privacy.

Sure, by adding security we can have another reason to let developers end up with golang app compiled to wasm running within electron sandboxed through API redirection (OS + antimalware/antivirus/BPF based EDR) and use it for, like, listening music in a very secure way..

With all these layers happily streaming all kinds of telemetry to knows where, with owning nothing but a bunch of numbers behind a ton of DRM layers, and with no ability to change things to the point where we can't have an app's theme matching system colors because crossplatform compatibility/security reasons.

Case 1, firefox:

> dom.security.unexpected_system_load_telemetry_enabled
> security.app_menu.recordEventTelemetry
> security.protectionspopup.recordEventTelemetry
> security.certerrors.recordEventTelemetry

I don't want to accept developer's assumption that these have to be enabled by default.

Case 2, Windows: can't even do a build of a trusted codebase under IntelliJ without antimalware adding up, like, +150% to build time. While IntelliJ (or some of its extensions or plugins that creep up during development) is happily reporting that performance issue back to its masters. Ugly.

This is plasma etching or dry etching.

I don't know the pros/cons of each, but both have been used as viable options to etch a circuit.
I'm not so sure that the Dark Triad model is that useful. Reading about narcissistic personality disorder and anti social personality disorder will probably yield a better understanding of these cluster B types. Both are low in empathy and high in selfish behaviour, but they have very different aims and produce very different results. The narcissist main goal is to acquire narcissistic supply and is willing to feast on those closest to them to get it. Psychopaths main goal can be sex, money, power, control and they usually do not care at all for the admiration and opinions of others (with the obvious exception of narcissistic psychopaths).

Thoughts?
This is the most realistic comment on this thread (so far).

I do not believe for one minute that people with enough money to be taxed heavily don't have enough money to dodge the taxes.

I do not believe it because it seems they do it even in lower tax regimes.

YMMV, that's why I stressed "in my experience". I'm aware some people find them rock solid, I'm just not one of those people.

I have docker containers running on my local app server that I literally never think about and have been humming away without issue for years (aside from server restarts or updates which I rarely need to do and it's often as easy as a `docker pull`). That's what I'm looking for, if it requires any more interaction then I'd rather pay more. I'm not saying "my time is worth so much" exactly, it's not like every hour of my day is packed full and I couldn't do some more server admin but I don't want to do that. I have the money (which isn't really all that much more) to avoid it so I do.

It's the same way that in my early 20's I cobbled together local storage servers full of shucked hard drives to save money and now I pay for a Synology and raw drives. I just don't want to spend my free time doing that anymore.
Moral judgement likes to pose as science, but that does neither any good. I understand that calling some of those things scientific can help someone to avoid hanging out with people who are bad to them, because "science" can feel like a good authority, but ultimately i don't think it's the best approach to taking more responsibility for one's life, if only because it's just slightly delusional

OK, I'm not sure how that affects my point. The point is, I'm living proof you are wrong on this particular claim. Tailwind makes me faster, and it's not for any of the reasons you said could be the only reasons.

The more general issue is your article doesn't demonstrate that you have grasped the purported benefits of Tailwind. You just deny they exist. It would be fine if you showed that you understand the purported benefits before explaining why you still prefer handwritten CSS on balance.

In particular, I can tell you don't understand that no longer using CSS classnames for reusability (and instead extracting components for reusability) is exactly what Tailwind users love about it, and no, not because they "haven't mastered semantic CSS". I know from experience that is initially unintuitive to a long-time CSS author, because I had a kind of Stockholm Syndrome for naming everything semantically and keeping my DOM super clean and avoiding extra divs. With Tailwind, you generally only name things when you extract them to components, and it's hard to explain but I after a while I came to realise this is just the perfect moment to name something, leading to better conceptual separation of semantics and styling logic, and much less proliferation of 'things' and ossification of the DOM.

I am not arguing Tailwind should be used for everything. I still use hand-written CSS for many things. And it is fine for someone to not like Tailwind after understanding it. I am just saying that you haven't understood it yet. Perhaps you wouldn't like it anyway, but imo it's worth really giving it a try.

By the way, giving it a try means on a real project. If I have a one-off, never-to-be-edited-again page design such as the example in your article, then I would probably use handwritten CSS with semantic classnames, as the exercise would be to make the cleanest, most elegant and fast-loading bundle of HTML and CSS possible. But in more realistic component-based projects that are expected to change over time, Tailwind can be an excellent trade-off, sacrificing a tiny (really, tiny) amount of elegance and bandwidth for a lot of engineering flexibility.
