As the other user said, this is just the conspiracy politcs obsessed partisan weirdos would like for you to believe. After all, if their side is so benevolent and immigrant loving, why haven't they pushed any genuine immigration system reforms instead of just creating a captive subclass in the form of illegal immigrants?

For instance, if Republicans are really so hateful of certain minorities, why do they not properly go after things like H1B mills (which benefits minorities more than the rich white people that they supposedly want to limit immigration to)? or take effective action to seal off the borders and make immigration policy stricter? As an immigrant myself, I'd take even that over the current hellish system where you spend a decent chunk of your life in limbo, unable to fully settle down because of the uncertainty, since at least then there would be the finality of immediately knowing the doors are closed. The only way the current system is bearable is if you approach it with total apathy, where you avoid getting too attached and just convince yourself that you can also make it in any other country.

Rather than negotiate measures to fix the immigration system (in either direction), both sides would prefer to keep expanding the class of people who are one technicality away from being kicked out, for Republicans it gives them the ability to promise stronger borders every election year, and for Democrats it gives the ability to promise aid to specifically illegal immigrants and of course once elected they can just say that the last guy left a mess and they had their hands full fixing just that or any version of "the other side isn't cooperating/compromising".

A particularly glaring example of this being their inability to agree on a stronger path to permanent residency for PhD holders. Considering that PhDs are generally funded by grants, not offering very easy immigration for PhD holders amounts to training foreigners at your own expense and sending them back to compete with you. PhD holders typically fit the "we only want the best of the best" position of the Republicans (even if we accept the conspiracy that they actually hate all minorities, it'd be a convenient way to 'wash' that image, without having to accept all that many minorities), and for Democrats it would be a very easy "look, we're slowly working to fix immigration" action.
despite myself hearing about the event for the first time today.

That might be a good place for us to wrap up but no, it doesn't agree with you since you seemed to think it happened after communist rule and had something to do with perestroika. Neither of these are true. The lack of familiarity is hardly some mortal sin but it puts you in a very poor (while undoubtedly easily correctable) position to assess the repressiveness or lack thereof of the Bulgarian communist regime.

You could probably achieve that via GraalVM I would think.
One big problem is that Palm split into PalmSource for software and Palm One for hardware. PalmSource went off to design Linux-based OS, got acquired, and disappeared. Palm One, renamed back to Palm One, made some early smartphones with PalmOS. But PalmOS was pretty obsolete by then, with 16-bit apps running on 32-bit OS.

Then Palm developed webOS, which made some weird hardware decisions and couldn't compete with iPhone and Android. But it could have been a contender, better than Blackberry and Nokia that didn't make jump to capacitive screens.

I think Palm's problem was being too late, but if they hadn't split and made PalmOS successor, they would have missed capacitive smartphones.
I spot 6 points in that comment and most of them strike me as fair. But two I think are not:

1) The language evolving all the time is an anti-feature. Clojure is an oasis for the people who are tired of having their knowledge obsoleted by constant change that doesn't really improve anything. People can build whatever weird and wonderful features they want using macros in their own library.

2) deps/edn - the design seems to support toolmakers more than end users. I hated it myself (tinged by poor documentation at the time which has since been remedied). But for anyone else having similar issues; the answer is to jump to leiningen [0] which is by far an easier way to set up a Clojure project.

Deps is ok, but lein is what I'd recommend to anyone as a starting point.

> hospital is serving a public good

Given hospitals are frequently privately owned, one could argue Facebook provides a public service in running a social media platform. Discriminating models based on public goodness is simply command-economy picking of winners and losers based on politicians’ limited knowledge and preferences.
It says "Input suno music share link", but I have no idea how to do that, and what am I sharing? How can I just play with the output?
They did have the Treo line!

Arguably, what ultimately brought Palm down was their early success and the huge library of existing shareware and freeware tools:

They desperately needed to try something new (Palm OS was just showing its age as a single-threaded, in-RAM, non-virtual-memory-based OS), but couldn't, since it would have alienated long-time fans by stranding their existing software libraries.

They could never work their way through that chicken-and-egg problem (and all of the split ups (OS vs. hardware), forks/spin-offs (Handspring), and re-mergers didn't help either) until it was too late: Cobalt OS never saw any devices, and the Pre was an ambitious new start but would have had a tough time against the iPhone even if it would have launched earlier than that.

We should really have three bins: organic waste, recyclable waste, everything else. We should be composting organic waste, not simply throwing it in a giant pile with everything else where it can sit be useless. Think of all that topsoil that has gone into creating the remains of the leftover food in these landfills, and instead of using it to create more fertile soil, it just sits there and rots with old televisions and refrigerators and pizza boxes.
Right, there has to be some! I've even met a few myself. But I'll bet the per capita is mighty low. ;-)

From my observation, there are (roughly) two types of people who love Vegemite, Marmite, Promite, etc.—those who like strong flavors like you and I do and those who are brought up on it from not long after they've been weaned.

If you check out the YouTube link in my other comment you'll note it's aimed at kids. For example, when I was in primary school kids (me included) would often have Vegemite and lettuce sandwiches (kids just wouldn't eat lettuce sandwiches alone). As contrast, our second sandwich would be something quite different (honey and peanut butter, ham and tomato, etc.).

I eat chilies, curries and such and was introduced to them very young too, so no doubt that helped. But not completely, some of my liking for strong flavors was innate. I recall when I was about 5 going on 6 my mother made me weak tea with lots of milk and sugar. One day I told her not to put sugar in my tea and only one week later told her to stop the milk and to make it stronger, ever since I've only ever drunk it sans milk and sugar (I simply won't drink tea if either is added).
Late '80s we had some American's visiting who were curiously watching us spread this stuff that looked like axle grease on our toast.

When I said "otherwise nothing changes", what did you think I meant?

I thought it was reasonably clear I was talking about how this gay exemption plays out, not the entire world of possibilities.

And for the line that says "your fate is the same", I made that very direct and explicit and you somehow skipped half of the sentence to interpret it in an entirely different way. That one is definitely not my fault.
> And then, if you pay it out from Magic Holding GmbH to you personally, then yes, you pay ~26% capital gains tax – but the huge benefit here is that it could accrue investment returns in the meantime!

This isn't an optimisation and doesn't matter unless I'm misunderstanding what is being suggested. Multiplication is commutative so it doesn't matter if you pay the taxes before or after accruing returns, as long as your goal is to get that money to you.

$100 * 0.5 (for 50% income tax) * 2 (for 100% investment return) = $100 whichever order you do the multiplication.

I know enough about what you call the scientific community writ large, and the scientific method, and the specific people who call themselves climate scientists to say that a) I don't pay very much attention to science unless it's falsifiable, b) there is no consensus on which climate models by which environmentalists have predictive value, c) the IPCC has been consistently wrong in its predictions for as long as I've been reading them, and d) that science is not decided by a majority vote.

It's pretty easy to figure out whether or not Republicans might support an immediate and massive expansion of nuclear power. Since you don't sound like you tolerate Republicans, let alone like you are on speaking terms with enough of them that you could ask, I'd recommend you consult some polls of Republicans on the question. According to one study by Pew, 2/3rds of them support the construction of new nuclear plants. Which is to say, Republicans are more likely to support what you call the right thing than Democrats.

My understanding is that a "dependency hell" first has to be a hell.
Reassessment is needed for sure. To classify the other strategies you are describing I think I would call them "increased focus", which would be a positive move for sure. But the draw back of this approach is it's more of the same, it's reactive, it has to chase industry, and it's effectiveness is dependent on available resources not being outpaced by industry (unlikely).

An alternative regulatory system that doesn't need to chase industry would require industry to come to them by law when for example they want to release a new class of chemical into the environment. For all of it's flaws, I'm basically talking about something like the FDA, but hopefully less corrupt.
I believe you're describing ubuntu (and ubuntu touch) in a VM. Or android.
I’d say 50% of the time CoPilot suggests things that are not helpful, 40% of the time it saves me some typing, and 10% of the time it reads my mind and fills out a large section of code for me perfectly (using all my idioms, naming, code “accent”, etc). That 10% is spooky - I’m witnessing literal magic. This isn’t going away.
I went on exchange to Germany.

Somehow there should be a ranking of the foreign language abilities of countries. There Germany would do incredibly well.

It's strange that people obsess over math school rankings, but how many people do calculus beyond their schooling where as many, many people use a foreign language often in their work.

It's a non-BS thing people can learn at school and something that Northern Europeans do spectacularly well at.
German reporting in. Disclaimer: I am biased as I think immigration is great and I wish the process was easier and faster for those seeking to live in Germany. I think your observation is sadly very correct and this minority is very well measurable and concerningly large and growing in a lot of places. Just look at how many people vote for the AfD. Those are the ones having that concern. Luckily some places(e.g. Hamburg, Berlin) are on average more open to foreigners than others (e.g. Sachsen).

Perhaps so, but as I said above, I'll bet the per capita is low. Even Australians who aren't brought up with the stuff from a very early age just won't eat it either.
> Two important points on how to save time here!

>. International “startup” banks like Wise generally don’t support this, so don’t even try! You’ll lose multiple days going back and forth with their support, like I did. You can open a Wise bank account later when you’re properly incorporated.

The real optimization is not using Germany companies to begin with.

I'm a US citizen and US resident, I had some German limited partners in a small hedge fund several years back. The offshore feeder was in the Cayman Islands, alongside the Master Fund. Both had bank accounts only in US banks. (All forms with IRS and other regulators filed no problems there, good to have a business bank familiar with these things.)

Now to those particular investors, wiring money to a foreign bank with foreign transaction needs was too much for them. The US being a foreign bank from their perspective. They just wanted to use SEPA transactions and transaction instructions that they are familiar with, which are (potentially) instant.

This US citizen was able to sign up the Cayman Islands feeder into Wise for an EU bank account no problem, had SEPA details no problem. Makes it super easy to swap over to USD with few fees and wire it to the primary bank account.

Its also important to note that Wise has high transaction limits. Like $1,000,000 per transaction is the limit, its not a daily limit. so even if you get a large LP its not really a limit just multiple transactions. Not perfect, but way better than many other fintech app solutions for casual use.

Before Wise it was nearly impossible for an American to get real Eurozone banking easily after FATCA treaty was ratified. But with Wise it was pretty quick maybe 1 business day with support in their business sign up.

One point against Wise is that their Terms of Service are very restrictive. There are lots of legal activities you're not supposed to do with them.

I've been using clojure as my main language for a decade. Few things can stay hyped that long.

My last few jobs were in clojure so jobs do exist, moreso than in Common Lisp and Haskell at least (probably). There aren't very many companies that use it relative to the programming world at large, so I'd say you're right on that front.

I'm happy using it and will continue using it. Sometimes I encounter interesting ideas and libraries that I end up using.

At the end of the day, it's a programming language. You can write interesting things on uninteresting or even subjectively awful languages and boring things on interesting languages.

Here's something I've been working on for the last two weeks: https://keyboards.justbuythisthing.com/. If I didn't tell you I wrote it in clojure, no one would know. It could very well be PHP.

For less fortunate wordings, allow me to present part of the transcript of Mouse v. Mouse (122 Mag.Kin.3d 871)

— Plaintiff, Ms Mouse, asks the Court to grant her a divorce on the basis of the insanity of her ... yes, Ms Owl?

— Begging your pardon, Your Honor, but the Court may have misapprehended the nature of this case. My client, Minnie, was very clear in her sworn statement. If it please the Court, please refer to that document on ... page 3, line 20. When asked what was the nature of the impediment to continuation of their marriage, she said of her husband, Mickey, not "he's insane", but —and I quote– "he's fucking Goofy".

> put from another angle : do you think it's great that people can't find identity without employment?

That’s like asking me if I think it’s ‘great’ that people have two legs and a finite lifespan. It just is. What you choose to do under constraints is a big part of your identity.

> it seems to me we should treat 'lack of identity and self worth due to lack of employment' as a pathology

Man, is there anything that isn’t a pathology these days?
You definitely can. One example of a large project that does this is babashka, a fast native Clojure scripting runtime.

I'm amazed how popular the Westfield at Bondi Junction in Australia still is, it's like Australians missed the whole "nobody goes to the mall anymore" message.

California is full of malls. I thought one use would be to convert them into vertical(ish) farms. You have tall open spaces, large areas for shipping, a local workforce, and potentially local sales as well.

However, just last week I was reading that the business model for vertical farms just doesn't work....yet.

This perspective remains kinda crazy. Why do US people keep trying to route control of major parts of their life through a system where they believe people who "actively hates the people who would benefit from the process" have significant influence?

People come up with this from time to time but the logical conclusion is small governments. It has been a few centuries now and there hasn't been any progress in improving the quality of the politicians; it isn't going to change. Every single government, literally, has people in it who would be morally comfortable in a Nazi-style dictatorship. Any plan that involves empowering these people is stupid.
Issues like this story happen many times every single day, and have for decades. Calling this an emergency landing is a bit of an exaggeration, and they returned for precautionary reasons. Barring actual data showing otherwise, there is zero reason to believe these incidents are more common.

Over the past few years the media has reported on athletes suffering heart issues if not sudden death. This has literally always happened, it just wasn't widely interesting or notable so it saw little reporting. Because of vax/anti-vax fears, media realized every such story would see massive virality so they leaned in. Suddenly a bunch of moms and pops[1] think this is some new thing. Exactly the same idea.

AI does not change the economics of software.

If you want it to be profitable package it into a product people will pay to access. For example a ChatGPT clone that builds basic CRUD apps at far lower complexity from common input parameters which eliminates (repurposes) jobs better spent writing documentation, gathering requirements, or possibly writing original software. People would pay big money for that because developers ( cost centers) can be transformed into business admins (profit centers).
