I'm of the thinking that the only risk US government debt possess is Congress deciding to default on it. But seeing as its illegal for the government to default on its debt, I don't see this actually happening.

Where are companies going to park their dollars, if not in t-bonds? They really don't have much choice. Stock buybacks/dividends get the dollars off the books, but investors pay the taxes on the funds, then are forced to make this same decision themselves. They can invest in real estate, but that's a distraction and still has the drain of property taxes and maintenance. Buying foreign bonds provides diversity, but raises the risk of forex swings. Maybe overpriced private equity?

This same thing goes for every entity who buys up t-bonds. There is no good alternative to t-bonds. Think US companies are going to start moving their USD to Euros? Yeah, no, not with Russia actively invading a neighbor. China? Good luck ever getting that money back out of the country. Switzerland? Good choice, but the economy is far too small, and the deflationary crisis that would result from capital inflows would be swiftly handled by the government. India? Saudi Arabia? Face it, there's no good alternative to US t-bonds.

The "national debt crisis" has been going on for decades now. There's really no evidence to suggest that it's actually a crisis at all. Nobody can say for sure at what level the debt becomes an actual issue, and what exactly the fallout will be. People make predictions at what level the debt becomes an issue, but we keep passing those milestones and the economy keeps going.

It seems like political posturing to me. "Deficit Hawks" bitch about the debt on national TV with the other party is in power, then make up BS on how their platform of doing everything except directing more money to paying it off debt will actually reduce the deficit. I guarantee the Venn diagram of people who supported the TJCA (which the GAO said would greatly increase the national debt) and who are currently telling us how dangerous the national debt is, is basically a perfect circle.

The wildfire problem is also a case of the long reach of short-term interests. We would be able to put up with short-term inconvenience in the form of smoke from smaller fires otherwise. Instead we produced a perverse result the opposite of what was desired. Attempts to reduce small problems lead to bigger problems.

into coherent proposals, and vote on them.

Despite classes in civics and debating at some good schools we are
mostly given no training on how to do this as kids.

Instead we are raised by "Hollywood diplomacy", which is deeply
confrontational and revolves around vengeance and gun fights.

Polarisation isn't just in the "environment" but in the lack of tools
we are given to work with.

There are actually long-form studies in things like Peace Studies
(Columbia, George Washington Uni, Kroc Institute, Nottingham Uni in
UK)

I spent some time with graduate of a peace studies programme, which I
initially mocked. But she introduced me to all kinds of ideas like
those of Habermas and Discourse Theory.

Most serious [fn] programmes on negotiation and diplomacy touch on this.

How we get ordinary folk to take on board more of that is challenging
but urgent. Sadly most of "western" life has conflict escalation built
in as a value.

The War mongers DID scare any opposition into silence or losing big. Recall how professionals lost their careers: The Dixie Chicks lost their career at their height, Bill Maher lost his show etc.

Sure today we are seeing a repeat where Pro-Israel supporters are getting pro-Palestinian newscasters fired, actors are losing their roles, people who place Palestinian flags in their linkedin bios are getting their employers harassed etc.

But with the advent of Tiktok we are at least getting an avenue to see what is happening in Palestine whereas its buried on all other platforms. Maybe its being artificially boosted but the end result is that there are mass protests in all the cities and TikTok is allowing the conversation to continue so the topic remains top of mind in peoples heads. A future president may actually be in one of those protests and Tiktok may have directly contributed to their future world view. A world view where the current power base loses out.
Who would qualify as a user that seeks to violate applicable laws and yet is somehow identified as an official part of some legally recognized military? Furthermore, how would anybody know?

Open source software shouldn't be a problem. Pretty much anything that has been ported to 64-bit big-endian also works on s390x. The architecture is otherwise pretty non-challenging: always 4K pages, strong memory model. Pre-built binaries are a different matter, of course.

The problem with access is not access as such, but the fact that the community hardware that you can access for free tends to be heavily oversubscribed (or maybe connected to a mismatched storage system).

It's not connected to your home network, that's the whole reason for the hotspot existing. How, exactly, could it be used as a hopping off point, except to other devices with hotspots that... can just be exploited in the first place.

It looks like cost is not comparable. ControlD pricing is per user and a router costs $5/month, but NextDNS is a flat $20/year.

So ControlD would be significantly more than NextDNS for me personally.
It seems the parent is trying to imply that the grandparent is arguing that some immigrant races are good and others bad (hence his reference to US hispanics, asians, europeans, etc) even though the grandparent is very explicitly arguing that the best immigrants from India and China respectively go to the USA while the mediocre immigrants from those countries go to Canada (I'm not arguing for or against that claim, but I can understand how it is different than what the parent alleges).
"I don't use X, therefore X is dead" is a very common trope.
> UIs for the general audience? TUIs!

TUIs are ideal (sometimes) where a command needs to be interactive. Many commands lend themselves well to batch processing or require no interactivity at all. In many cases, a script piped into a text editor (which is a TUI) is all that is needed, sparing apps from having to embed a text editor and deal with all of the design choices. Other times GUI will work a lot better.

There is no law and no prospect of one soon. Mozilla can partially solve the problem by providing the service - I think that's great. Otherwise people would have less recourse.

And also, Mozilla must have money to operate; charging for this service seems among the least-bad options.

> In 2001, the report A Taste of Slavery: How Your Chocolate May be Tainted won a George Polk Award.

It quoted a former slave: "The beatings were a part of my life" and "when you didn't hurry, you were beaten."

Admittedly, I switch blogging platforms every season or so. however, Pika has stood out and stuck so far because it has struck the right balance for me in terms of customization, editing experience, and vibe. I've been writing Markdown since its inception, but I find I prefer Pika's WYSIWYG editor. I realize with blogging, I don't want to deal with Markdown. I know I'm parroting the marketing message here, but that just shows how much the good enough folks have hit the target for me.

They can get clean money from the start if they structure things right.

Have other mules or partners purchase crappy properties at a low price. "Flip" the properties, having another mule purchase at a greatly increased price and service the mortgage with more laundered money.

So you get the capital gains immediately, and they are apparently completely clean. If the crappy house continues to appreciate naturally, that's also a bonus, but if not, you can eventually default the mortgage or short-sale.
To add to this, a lot of those "W3C API" (most?) (to which I'll also add WHATWG API, like HTML5 - or fetch) have actually no relation to ECMAScript and thus aren't generally in v8 because they are not JavaScript.

Those API could be thought as from the "environment" in which JavaScript run. For example we often call web-only APIs "DOM API": `fetch`, `xmlHttpRequest` and so on.

Node.js also has its own environment. For example both `setTimeout` and `setInterval`, though present in both web and node.js, are implemented differently by browsers and node.js (it's just that node.js decided to go with roughly the same API - see below for code examples for both).

Taking requests as examples there are both declared in blink, the rendering engine and not v8 again because they aren't JS:

- fetch (https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:thi...)

- XMLHttpRequest (https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:thi...)

For the fun of looking even more at some code of reputable projects: for setTimeout / setInterval, I would guess they are declared here in blink: https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:thi...

And maybe here for Node.js: https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/8a41d9b636be86350cd32847...

To note that "filesystem" API also exist in web world: https://fs.spec.whatwg.org

Again, this API is completely different than in Node.JS

Don’t use OneMedical anymore but surprised people think Amazon is making it worse. The writing was on the wall well before the acquisition that you fill an office with a ratio of something like 1 doctor to 10 PA. Most visits can be covered by a PA.

For those looking for chronic care and a stable doctor, I highly recommend going the route of a direct care physician. As a family of two adults and one child we pay something like $180 a month to go see a doctor anytime with no copay or visit costs. For better or worse I see this as a better outcome in the US. Pay for a DPC doctor and then a high deductible plan for emergency.

Define "still here".

If the population goes through a Toba-esque bottleneck due to climate-change-imposed breadbasket failures and there's no free energy (oil) left to bootstrap the world back to complexity similar to today, then is that "still here"?

Does "A Canticle For Leibowitz" qualify as "still here"?
Agreed it is probably as simple as free speech. I hope that it is useful to some citizens. But for me the real story is why Carlson is the only western journalist who has done it recently. I've seen many interviews with Putin from non western sources and am familiar with his career and opinions. I just feel that there are too few western journalists (even in neutral, non NATO countries) who aren't earning their pay.
The inability to solve global warming is itself the result of a small number of wealthy and powerful groups having outsized influence and these groups operating in a fashion so short sighted that they cannot sacrifice their interests to solve the problem.

Trump had no problems with increasing the nation's debt, republicans cheered him on, because debt is a political pawn that both parties move where they see fit when they need too.

Isn't it amusing how you have absolutely no idea what I've done, and yet you've made up some narrative that I'm not doing anything? Isn't it also funny how you think I should owe you some reasoning behind why I communicate about people in power the way I do? Why does one have to justify criticism of people in power?

I've protested. I've been tear gassed. I vote, I picket, I contribute funds. So I also feel well within my rights to talk some shit. And I also feel very comfortable telling random nobodys on the internet that suggest that I shouldn't "say mean things" about a group of people that have said and done incredibly "mean" (illegal, offensive, dystopian) things to me to buzz off.

I'm also noticing you ignored my nazi comment. So again I'll ask, you're saying there are good nazis, yes?

yeah, everything keeps getting reinvented worse or made worse by adding unwanted, poorly implemented features. My unstated point was that a version existed decades ago which was more robust than the new, reinvented version.

I'm not sure that people (in general) want these things. It seems like product managers adding stuff to justify their existence and people buying what they find on the shelf. You get an internet connected oven because you have no choice anymore. (Hyperbole, but the non-internet choices are narrowing.)

Maybe people want to change the color of their lightbulb (I'm guessing it gets old quick), but I suspect they're not asking for it to be on the internet.
This depends on your age. I think you were playing with Lego in the 1980s or 1990s when there was theming like pirates and what not. I had Lego in the 1970s. We really just had sets with square/rectangular blocks of various sizes and a few special parts like windows and doors. We didn't even have minifigs. But I get why Lego changed -- you only need to sell one or two generic sets and the kid has enough legos for life. If you add theming then suddenly there's space lego, pirate lego, etc. and then the kid wants a new set every Christmas and birthday.

Sea levels are rising primarily because the sea is warming, and water, like most substances, expands as it heats up.

Global warming does not affect every place on Earth evenly, that's partly why the phrase "climate change" is preferred. It's possible that you live in an area that due to the local or regional geography, the sea level has not changed much.
