> Hiring the police out as a private security force where they then get to negotiate what rules they have to play by has a Judge Dredd vibe to it

The work is voluntary overtime work.

They're not forced to accept voluntary overtime work. It's an optional thing they can choose to do above and beyond their base job, if the pay and terms are interesting enough.

I don't see why it's a problem. What are the alternatives? Forcing police to do security for private events inside of private venues as part of their job?

Yes, which is the point I was trying to make. I don’t think what we see is the cruel SEO victory over a valiant, but ultimately doomed defence by google. What we see is revenue optimization, that also happens to benefit SEO’s.
You didn't have to leave the local context if you use very local stylesheets. Scoped CSS like shadow DOM, plus CSS text right with your component, helps a lot with this.
> seriously? Why can’t I ctrl-v after ctrl-c from web browser?

Because ctrl+c / ctrl+v are common terminal key bindings. You can't on macOS, either.

Ctrl+Insert / Shift+Insert should work consistently across apps.
Were you in that much of a hurry to not be able to wait 30 seconds for the traffic light?
With cars, you have a license plate that will usually lead you to the owner. Identifying some random person, possibly with a hood, on noisy camera night vision is a lot harder; when you don't have a reasonably small pool of suspects, it's basically impossible.

Even if it would be possible to identify people with a combination of cell phone area warrants and/or by following all cameras around, this level of effort would be far too high (and too invasive) for small crimes like theft and vandalism.
SASS and LESS have their place, but they are tooling, not replacements

The time it took for CSS to progress like this although is on Browser vendors, not on the language - lots of recent features that seem utterly late to the game have existed for years and years, but had to be deemed "unsafe" to use because of Safari, Firefox and other browsers that lag far behind the standard.

And honestly, the critique you throw at CSS is all the more true for Tailwind actually, and imho only stands the test for _badly written_ code, which holds true for any language in any domain.

And regarding why BEM exists: it's just a flavour of naming convention for your "API", nowhere mandated by CSS itself. Its main purpose is to optimise paint performance and keeping your component naming lean and transparent. You may very well simply write expressive and specific queries instead of defining naming conventions for your components.

But I'm unsure if we talk about the same things in the end, cause none of those points get any better with Tailwind, rather the opposite.
the real problem here (in my opinion at least) is that “borrow” isn’t a realization of gain on the assets. any time illiquid assets are used as collateral that should trigger a taxable event.

Tailwind is both great and terrible. The trick is to take just the good parts and not let it poison the rest. Let it make easy things easier, but don't let it take over and make the hard things impossibly difficult.

Here's how to do it: use Tailwind only for layout (margin, padding, flex) and brand consistency properties like text size, line height, colors etc. Beyond that, anything that requires changing presentation based on state, embrace CSS. It was meant for this, and remains the best solution. Invest in learning CSS because it will still be here in 20 years.
Responses here seem to not take into account:

- elasticity of laws. If all of a sudden every well-to-do law-abiding doctor, engineer and lawyer gets a fine on their daily commute for speeding 5 mph over the limit, there's going to instantly be a lot of pressure to change the speed limit to something reasonable.

- the amount of absolutely insane, dangerous behavior on the highways (people weaving in and out at 100 mph, etc.). It may be tough for an insurance company to act on a tip that someone changed lanes without using their blinkers, it certainly won't be tough if there's video evidence of them going 100 mph.

- the fact that insurance companies (presumably) do not need to know the identity of the driver to raise rates. If your car is regularly being driven by your brother at 100mph, it's still your insurance that's going to pay if he gets in an accident.

- while the police sound like they've given up on enforcing any traffic laws, it's in the insurance company's financial interest not to insure dangerous drivers. (And while that's sad, maybe private sousveillance is better than anarchy. People can have differing opinions.)

The demand for shares in a company incentivizes entrepreneurs to create companies so that they can then sell the shares.

So even passive investing contributes to innovation.
I can't bring myself to read this monolith because the two premises at the top are wrong:
1. Y2K was a real phenomenon that needed fixing in various aspects, and
2. fraudulence is not a problem of "capitalism" - it's a problem of humanity. Hell, the biggest quote used to explain the Soviet economy was "they pretended to pay us and we pretended to work".
These are both problems caused by poor driving (other peoples' in this case). Maybe with a traffic law panopticon everyone would drive better and these would disappear

I’m not surprised. Apple’s first party apps have always seemed like afterthoughts that were lower priority than other things. (E.g. relative to what I consider great quality hardware.)

Maps was terrible for several years following the release, and is still not great.

Screen Time, especially the parental controls side of it, is almost unusable.

Find My Friends used to have all sorts of disconnects where it wouldn’t work, though admittedly it seems to have finally gotten better over the past couple years.

These are just some examples I can think of. But this bug in the OP doesn’t surprise me.

I just checked Lenovo's more recent offerings in the US; the IdeaPad 1 15" AMD Abyss Blue.

Not sure if the build quality is as good as the EU SMB market laptops (which are generally really good value with good build quality, for me a perfect compromise between price and build quality, steel internal framework with solid plastic case, not sexy but definitely robust).

This IdeaPad1 looks like it has the same specs as the EU model (V14 G4 AMN). Just check if the build is solid enough. The IdeaPad1 can be bought at Best Buy.

You want me to share CSAM accounts? You realise you're asking me to commit a crime, right?

I don't know any such accounts because I don't go looking for such things. It's just a well known fact that Twitter has a CSAM problem. A quick google search will show you plenty of media coverage on that fact. It's also well known that moderation on Twitter has suffered under Musk due to massive layoffs.

Of course, most of this porn stuff is never seen by most users because it's not favoured by The Algorithm. I'm just pointing out it's definitely all there. As far as legal porn I'm generally in favour of it being allowed on most platforms.

Loving this trend of banning phones.

I overheard a conversation last week from a group of teachers talking about the phone ban:

They had students put their phone in signal blocking bags. But some phones kept searching for signal until they overheated… literally warping the phone screen.

Now they advise students to put it in airplane mode before sticking it in the bag…

no, you're right, you almost always need pipelining to get one instruction per clock cycle

but there are a lot of cpus out there—maybe the majority now—that are pipelined microarchitectures that get one instruction per cycle without much or any prediction. avrs, most of the cortex-m* (all?), most modern implementations of old slow isas like the z80 and 8051, etc. big processors like your laptop cpu and cellphone cpu are of course superscalar, but they are a tiny minority of all processors. even inside the cellphone case, they're outnumbered by in-order scalar microcontrollers

without prediction, of course, you have a pipeline bubble every time you have a branch, so you never quite hit 1 ipc with scalar execution. but it's usually pretty close, and even with prediction, sometimes you miss. and usually if you have branch prediction, you also have a cache, because ain't nobody got time to share one triflin memory bus between instructions and data

so pipelining gets you from, say, 3 clocks per instruction down to 1.2 or so. then prediction gets you from 1.2 down to, say, 1.02

This year my employer started using Hacker Rank as a "step in the interview process". During the first dozen or so of interviews, most candidates ended up running out of time and "failing". Well it turns out, if you look at the data for that particular question from HR most candidates also failed. It was a terrible prompt with too much code to write. In our subsequent rounds, we told the recruiters to change those questions out, and regardless of someone passes let us review with them. We told our recruiting team if someone refuses to do let code/HR, that's okay if they have some code they're willing to share and discuss instead.
Seems like lip service slacktivism that does nothing but inject a bit of weird misplaced guilt. Railroads were a huge technological innovation. Handwringing about the skeletons in the national closet without really understanding how or why the railroad played a role seems distracting. The quote from the article says, in essence: ‘railroads and the Indian Wars happened at the same time, kinda, so… railroads bad, maybe?’

And op’s point stands. Tech is power; and almost any tech can be used and abused. But tossing this in seems lazy at best.

That was tongue in cheek. I'm sorry I didn't make it clear that replying to Paul, and posting that he blocked me here was intended to be humorous and I just enjoyed the irony. Even though most seem to have not gotten my intent (I don't blame them, I did a very poor job setting it), I've still enjoyed most of the discussions that have come from it though!

I do think you're extrapolating incorrectly, as many here have, but that is, at least in part, my fault, for not being clear that my intent was just to have some fun, not desperation or blame. I think of Twitter as a place for memes and trolls, and didn't stop to think that people really care about the words people say there.

my limited experience with stack machines is that a stack mip is about half a register-machine mip :-(

consider this simple assembly-language subroutine i wrote in october (http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/tetris.S, screencast at https://asciinema.org/a/622461):

@@ Set sleep for iwait to r0 milliseconds.
@@ (r0 must be under 1000)
.thumb_func
waitis: ldr r2, =wait @ struct timeval
movs r3, #0 @ 0 sec
str r3, [r2] @ .tv_sec = 0
ldr r1, =1000 @ multiplier for ms
mul r0, r1
str r0, [r2, #4] @ set .tv_usec
bx lr

.bss
wait: .fill 8 @ the struct timeval
.text

these are all perfectly normal register-machine instructions; you could translate them one-to-one to almost any register machine. on a few of them you could drop one, writing something like str #0, [wait]. the whole function is straight-line execution, a single basic block, and seven instructions long. this is almost a best case for a stack machine; it looks like this:

lit(0) ; load immediate constant
lea(wait) ; load address of wait onto stack
! ; store 0 in wait
lit(1000) ; another constant
* ; multiply argument by constant
lea(wait) ; load address again
lit(4) ; offset of .tv_usec
+ ; calculate address of wait.tv_usec
! ; store product in tv_usec
ret ; return from subroutine

that's 10 instructions, about 50% longer than the 6 or 7 of the two-operand register machine. but the typical case is worse. and basically the reason is that the average number of stack manipulations or constant pushes that you need to do to get the right operands on top of the stack for your memory accesses and computational operations is roughly 1. sometimes you'll have a * or ! (store) or + that's not preceded by a stack manipulation or a load-immediate or a load-address operation, and that time the stack machine wins, but other times it'll be preceded by two or three of them, and that time the stack machine loses

so it averages out to about two stack instructions per register-machine instruction. call and return is faster on the stack machine, but passing arguments and return values in registers on the register machine can take away most of that advantage too

the rtx-2000 did some tricks to sometimes do more than a single stack operation per cycle, but it didn't really escape from this

this doesn't necessarily mean that stack machines like the rtx-2000 are a bad design approach! the design rationale is that you get very short path lengths, so you can clock the design higher than you could clock a design that had register-file muxes in the critical path, and you also avoid the branching penalty that pipelines impose on you, and you use less silicon area. mainstream computation took a different path, but plausibly the two-stack designs like the rtx-2000, the novix nc4000, the shboom, the mup21, and the greenarrays f18a could have been competitive with the mainstream risc etc. approach. but you do need a higher clock rate because each instruction does less

i don't remember if dr. ting wrote a book about the rtx-2000, but he did write a very nice book about its predecessor the nc4000, going into some of these tricks: https://www.forth.org/OffeteStore/4001-footstepsFinal.pdf
This is an idea that only sounds good when you imagine it being applied to the drivers you dislike.

When people started getting higher insurance rates because a vigilante dashcam operator caught them driving 68 in a 65 three different times or because they only slowed to 1MPH instead of 0MPH at a 4-way stop, then it wouldn't seem like such a good idea any more.
Economy class airplanes are all utility and zero experience. The business is viable because utility and torment can cancel out because the trip itself has need to have a perceived value - all the value is in moving from A to B.

A drive, a cruise, or a train trip have intrinsic value beyond moving from A to B. You experience the movement in a different way.

This resonates with me. I’ve found big tech to always give me reasonable, sometimes excessive control. I’ve also found “privacy” to be a thought-terminating device that prevents granular discussion of who needs what.

Loss aversion is a major factor in behavioural economics that explains why people act this way.
The goal of a red light camera is ostensibly to make an intersection safer, but the fact that the city gets money when people get tickets incentivizes them to actually keep the intersection difficult to navigate correctly. They lose money if they adjust timings to be more appropriate for the situation or if they make the lights more visible or if they replace the light with a roundabout.

It also penalizes driving behaviors that are objectively not very dangerous far more harshly than a human police officer would—a lot of the profit from a red light camera comes from rolling right turns on red, which is very often a perfectly safe behavior that actually helps traffic move more smoothly (for example, when you technically have a red but there's a left turn crossing in the opposite direction providing complete cover for your move).
