> as is almost always the case [..] the places with fewer immigrants voted more harshly against them

Well, the very opposite of that happened in the UK regarding the Brexit referendum:

"More than 50 per cent of the population growth in Lincolnshire in the last decade has been caused by immigration. Across the county, population growth has been 57,999, with 30,568 due to immigration - a total of 52.7 per cent."

"More than three quarters of the people of Boston, in the county of Lincolnshire in the East Midlands of England, voted to leave the EU. According to the most recent U.K. census in 2011, Boston also has the highest proportion of eastern European immigrants of anywhere in the U.K., after an influx of EU workers to the area’s agricultural sector, earning it the label of Britain’s “most divided town.” Between 2004 and 2014, the town’s migrant population grew by 460%, and the proportion of residents of the Borough of Boston born in EU accession countries such as Lithuania, Poland and Latvia, stands at around 12%."

That's using a lot of fancy words to define debt. Debt is debt: money or value to be paid back, in the future.

> In other words it is a component of the money supply that allows people to save safely for the future.

All debts have risk. There is no zero risk instrument, as the currency itself can devalue even if you get your basis back.

> The stabilisation policy for an economy needs to be in the market for labour, not the market for money.

Not sure what this means. Maybe you have an idea that you want to better articulate?
Notifications have gotten better, especially if you use FluffyChat. No clue about the decryption errors.

I find two things way more annoying just because they're so basic. Number one being the fact that replies still look visually wonky quite often and the fact that they're fully RED. Why would they ever use the danger colour for normal things?! The second problem is that when you make a new session it doesn't trust old messages and displays an icon that's utterly useless.

The last one is especially annoying considering how often the clients just corrupt their state and need logging in again. Things like Keybase (RIP) got these things right from the start.
Automated Desecration of Digital Graves
When I was 15 and suicidal, I found a commentor on Reddit eloquently (at least I thought so at the time) lamenting over their tedious, monotonous daily life. When I clicked on the users profile I found they had created a subreddit, r/herelies, in which the sole post was a suicide note titled “Hello, Goodbye.” Red Ataraxia never posted again. I thought it would be nice to preserve his memory, and so I succesfully requested ownership of the subreddit and locked it to prevent spambots. Every year or so, I would post a memorium to Red, and the few passers by who stumbled upon his digital grave would leave comments paying their respects. 2 years ago, Reddit banned the subreddit, effectively permanently deleting all of its content, for being “unmoderated.” Just a story I thought you guys might like.

This is a minor source of confusion. Pylab and Pyplot are packages within Matplotlib. They are what most casual users experience when they say that they're using Matplotlib. I use them, they're convenient.

A minor headache is when you have to break out of Pyplot to use some of the more detailed behaviors of Matplotlib, and now you're interacting with both Pyplot and the lower level calls. For instance, plt.title('foo') and gca().set_title('foo') do the same thing.

If you're a fluent programmer, you fly past those seeming inconsistencies with barely any notice. Explaining them to a novice programmer is harder.

> Source code sharing is a separate protocol bolted onto email, and the fact that you have to use a specific email client (which I should mention, is largely unheard of outside of a small circle) is indeed an admittance of email being bad.

No, email is better suited for meaningful communication than most forums and code review web interfaces. And that is a direct consequence of the fact that it was designed to facilitate communication between humans. Github is simply missing a way to see easily and intuitively which message responded which other. I am thinking of something like the classic threading tree of an email client. That information makes it much easier to follow a discussion between more than two people.

That same tree is also great at showing what I have already read and what is new. How do you do that in GitHub? As far as I know there is no way to do that. I can even label certain messages just for me. In order to keep the overview. I can move emails between folders virtual or not to organize all the communication threads that I am participating in. Neither of which is possible with pull requests in GitHub or almost every other forge.
Jacob Rees-Mogg is a very strange politician.

Here's a short documentary about him[0]. Highlights include:

* Being the subject of a French television documentary when he was 12 years old[1];

* Campaigning against abortion (which itself is weird in the UK outside of Northern Ireland) while investing in abortion pills; and

* Campaigning for election in one of the most deprived areas of the UK, while accompanied by his nanny (as in, the person employed by his parents to raise him when he was a child) so that she could iron his shirts.

He has been described as a 'real life Dickensian villain' and a 'haunted Victorian pencil', and is frequently referred to on Reddit as 'the honourable member for the nineteenth century' (prior centuries are often substituted). He is also responsible for the first recorded use of the word 'floccinaucinihilipilification' in Hansard (the official transcript of Parliamentary proceedings).

I think you're eliding something about the social media companies that is true: they are uniquely exempted from regulation. A car company have to follow federally mandated safety rules, are answerable to the NHTSA, and can be sued by consumers if they do something negligent. That's the standard level of regulation most industries see in America.

There is no equivalent for social media and the only laws around it that does exist - section 230, legally protects social media sites from basically any legal liability with regards to lawsuits. A protection which is so extreme it's almost difficult to imagine what would be acceptable.

Take an example, let's say Zuck gets angry because Elon Musk has attacked him, Zuck can tell the engineers "Write me an algorithm that finds every bad word said about Elon Musk on Facebook and push those comments out to every single user, I want 3billion people seeing baseless accusations against Musk atleast once a day, and the more extreme the better, we're not done until credible calls for the assassination of Musk appear regularly on our site". And it'll work! We see that people pick up on how FB's algorithm works and will create that content to gain followers. But since it can all by done by algorithmically selecting from user generated content there's no liability for Facebook or Zuckerberg.

> [...] it's the opposite of truth. Poverty is always breeding much better than the middle class

I'm constantly seeing this idea, and if anything, it misses the forest for the trees. Fertility rates fall when standards of living rise - up to a specific point. After that point, fertility rises to sustainable levels again. The research is quite clear on this.

> [...] it's a choice between self-realization and spending time with a kid

And this is exactly my theory on why the "slope" of childlessness occurs.

Rising towards the middle class means that all lesser needs are fulfilled and now only self-actualization remains unmet. The cruel joke is that people then forsake having children in favor of self-realization while someone a with more resources would not feel the need to make this compromise.

So in a sense, the most deprived people don't care and still have children despite the challenges (lower class), the less deprived people forsake children in order to meet their highest-order needs (middle class) and the mostly undeprived do not have to make any trade-offs like that and again have children. (upper class)

I live in Vienna, an arguably more family friendly city, and most middle class people around me (aged ~30-40) do have babies at home - esp. those working in relaxed environments like public sector. If you give people the resources, flexibility and time to have children without worrying, they will indeed have more children (in the long run).

If not interest rates, what would you advise the Fed to use for controlling inflation?

Please don’t say there’s no need to control inflation. That will wipe out any savings anyone has. Your money will be worth We’ve seen its ill effects time and again.

Argentina has 211% inflation right now. It is a vibrant economy, crippled by inflation. People cannot save. Either spend all you have (it will be worth 1/4th in a year) or buy forex.

(I apologize if the following sounds a bit ranty):

We need to keep in our minds that a lot of economics is human psychology. Inflation is a mass psychology phenomenon. The stock markets work on psychology. Which is why we have these insane “valuations”. Why would anyone think NVIDIA is worth $1.5 Trillion dollars is beyond me. I’ll explain - 1) Traders gotta trade. 2) Investors have got to invest. When despite such high interest rates, people invest in the markets - that’s got to be greed - likely caused by a high inflation recency bias. Still operating as if their money will be worth much less next year.

Also it’s noteworthy that just before 2020, the valuations were 1/4 of what we have now. Has the productivity of the world suddenly increased manifold? No. It was fuelled by two things 1) Near 0 interest rates that forced safe investors to pull their money out of bonds and savings accounts 2) Collapse of office real estate. The second one is on-going, so my guess is a lot of the money in the markets is coming from ex-office real estate investors.
Nothing I hire for requires someone to do the World’s Most Challenging ™ life or death problems under pressure from memory. I think that’s true for the vast majority of tech companies.

I don’t care whether they’re doing it from memory or not.

I have had the opposite experience with GoDaddy. I have been a customer of theirs for 20 years having bought my first domain in 2003. At my peak I had two dozen domains with them. Their customer service has always been quick to respond and take action and proactively reaches out once a year and thankfully not more. I have not had any domains taken from me for any reason, and have used their auction service to sell a few, and their back order service to get one.

I don’t love their prices, especially for some of the newer gTLDs. I use their DNS and have not once noticed a problem, though one might’ve happened without my knowledge.

I don’t think I’d choose them today if I was starting from scratch based solely on pricing but as it stands I don’t plan to move to anyone else at this point.

Some commenters here appear to be using "harm" in the psychological sense, with the implication being that spending time on social media is damaging to a child's mental health. If we accept the premise that spending time on social media is bad, then a modern algorithmic feed is probably more-bad than a boomer board.

To be fair, the article itself opens by citing both the mental health allegations as well as "exploitation and abuse". Given we're dealing with an emotionally charged political hot button issue, it's safe to say these are intentionally muddy waters.

You bring up valid points. I am not at all arguing we should strive for minimalism and reduce features that are actually used. If we are already using html emails for everything, why can't we embed the little build status widgets, plugins, tags -- whatever they are called -- that you find in many readme file on Github into html emails?

As who hadn't seriously used any plotting library, some of my questions:

- Why isn't the first term `ggplot(mtcars, "wt", "mpg", color="factor(gear)")` instead? It seems that the second argument always has to be a `plotnine.mapping.aes(...)` call or a saved `aes` value. It is not really hard to distinguish `ggplot(data, saved_aes)` from `ggplot(data, "x-col", "y-col", ...)`. The only issue might be the third `environment` argument, but that can go elsewhere (see below).

- What's up with that operator overloading? Is `+=` even supported? It seems that the original R version had the same syntax, but Python's statement-based syntax makes it annoying to use. Maybe any "additions" should have been moved into `ggplot` arguments by default: `ggplot(mtcars, "wt", "mpg", geom_point(), stat_smooth(...), facet_wrap(...), color="...")`.

- Many "addable" values have common repeating prefixes (`geom_` etc). Doesn't sound like a good API design at all, especially in Python. Probably there should be a `geom` module and so on that are exposed via `from plotnine import *` instead, so that `geom.point()` would work for example.

- Formulae as strings are fine to have, but it somehow has multiple "stages" where they can be evaluated (`after_stat` etc). Such feature would be necessary from time to time, but the concept itself doesn't seem to be not well polished.

Do you mean the market is stagnant or the tech is stagnant, because those are different things imo.

If we have finally reached the final boss of silicon lithography, then the market will figure out whatever nodes make sense (best efficiency, best performance, best value) and presumably we will need ever increasing amounts of them… especially if future solutions just stack tons of dies together etc. it’s fundamentally a pivot from growing through the tech to growing through packaging and putting more silicon into a product… at higher power and cost. But as that market model matures you will very much continue to need more and more capacity to replace the growth that used to come from Moores law.
