It would be nice to understand what "can't" means in this context. Are they not technically able to achieve it (which may be overcome by bringing in other technical experts), is it a DNS issue (ha-ha), or is there a licensing issue with some component they integrated with?

The trick to using right handed scissors as a lefty is you have to kind of pull in with your thumb where naturally you push down and out with your thumb. But once you figure that out, it isn't so hard. Still, my scissor game is laughable compared to my wife who can do that "sliding the open blade in a straight line to cut wrapping paper" thing that I always stuff up.
The trade off is that you have less visibility of the letters you just wrote, which can be annoying sometimes and lead to spelling mistakes.

No sure if you will see this so I will simply summarize

1. I dont think it makes much sense to compare GDP per capita of china and the USA when trying to understand the power of their economies. It is the excessively demos thinking that causes one to focus on GDP per capita.

2. I dont think the prices of things are the same in China vs USA. I dont mean simply rice or rent but say building a road or a bridge.

3. Following from this I dont think one can compare QoL based on GPD per capita. It is also very hard to compare QoL which is a human lived experience thing between different societies. Whereas one can more easily compare the USA to Canada.

3. Economic financialization is generally seen as a bad thing. And government services tend to be inefficient. So GDP growth in these areas is either a bad sign or just a sign of faulty data.

4. The digital tech sector is growing. Other sectors have slow growth. This is reflected in the SNP500.

5. America has started protecting its tech sector. EV cars. Phones. Chips.

One could go on but overall I think (as a materialist) these trends point to a precarious position for the USA economy.

I'm highly sceptical of this claim. Life is easier for smart people, and that is perhaps why they can be more generous. However, some of the kindest people I've met aren't very intelligent and some of the most devious people I've met have high IQs.

Much of the advantage of being smart might be wiped out when everyone has a high IQ personal assistant inside their phone, thanks to AI.

Microsoft is categorically incompetently run at this point. They chose to cede both the web and mobile platforms entirely to Google for free. They couple some of their most impressively engineered OS releases with things like preinstalling Candy Crush to ensure that any gain of respect their engineering deserves is immediately burnt goodwill from shoddy behavior.

Apple is mostly too dependent on vertical integration to truly take over a market. If they allowed their OS on other hardware or something, they could pull Google power but they are entirely built around being their own unique bubble.

If Google finally gets broken up, you'll probably see hardware manufacturers like Samsung and LG truly start doing interesting things again.

George Yancopoulos has a reputation for being unconventional (or perhaps outlandish to some). I would suggest that before he is taken seriously, Regeneron should publish a weight loss whitepaper explaining his position. At face value, it makes no sense to suggest that GLP-1 have some latent issues that goes beyond normal muscle loss as per the normal behavior for any weight loss.

Strength exercise are the normal suggestion to preserve muscle mass, and I don't believe there is any research showing this would not be effective with GLP-1 drugs.

An unconventional approach would be to take a GLP1 drug and ephedrine, which has been shown in many studies over 40 years to preserve muscle mass during calorie restriction. However, the drug is dirt cheap, not patentable for this common use, and therefore not of interest to any pharma company.

A recent meta analysis of ephedrine is here: https://www.mdpi.com/1424-8247/14/11/1198

What I have learned from Nix is that polluting the global (user or system) environment is going to spell disaster at some point. Its obviously fixable in an obvious way, but why subject yourself to this nonsense in the first place. The only stuff I have in my global env is stuff I could actually use from almost anywhere, even non-code directories.

Nix isn't the only tool that solves this, there is acme and even per-compiler tools like nvm or cargo.
One of the biggest improvements reported by my users is the smart filtering enabled by default in ripgrep. That can't be contributed back to GNU grep.

Also, people have tried to make GNU grep uses multiple threads. As far as I know, none of those attempts have led to a merged patch.

There are a boatload of other reasons to be honest as well.

And there's no reason why I specifically need to do it. I've written extensively on how and why ripgrep is fast, all the way down to details in the regex engine. There is no mystery here, and anyone can take these techniques and try to port them to another grep.
A similar initiative in NZ is Shielded Site [1].

Many large sites (eg The Warehouse [2]) participate by putting an icon at the bottom of their website. When clicked, a modal pops up with domestic abuse resources.

There’s a prominent exit button that closes the modal faster than a page navigation or finding the close tab button. Closing the popup returns you to a major website rather than a new tab page. And most importantly, your history contains no evidence you viewed the information.

2017 article so pretty old by now, but:

> Microsoft in the year ended June 2016 had $20.1 billion in foreign income and a domestic loss of $300 million. Microsoft’s income tax expense was $3.3 billion, for an effective rate of 16.5%. Alphabet, the parent company of Google, posted a $4.7 billion tax expense, or 19%. Such “avoision” will continue as long as foreign income is subject to lower rates than domestic.

Here (central CO) our energy supply is 33% renewable (increasing each year), 35% coal (phasing out, target 2030, NM coal plants we drew from already phased out back in 2020), 18% natural gas/oil, and 14% produced by others (no direct control). The benefit of shifting the energy from gas cars to electric is that as the grid converts to increasingly focus on renewables the overall emissions drop. Many people here are also putting in rooftop solar (this is a very sunny area, even through the winter though obviously with shorter days).

Because it's a bad faith argument meant to dismiss all context surrounding the situation to be a reductive 'gotcha' point.

The power comes from a mix of natural gas, wind, solar, hydro, and coal. Coal is a shrinking component of the US power supply.

EVs are so efficient in using that power that even if you were to power entirely from coal, the CO2 produced with be no more than that produced by a 50mpg Hybrid. The US grid is not remotely as dirty as that.
Electors weren’t bound to a candidate. The founding fathers wanted democracy but were worried about “well-meaning but uninformed people” who may be vulnerable to charismatic populists, candidates with blatantly unfit characters, and influence by foreign propaganda. Electors were meant to be well-informed, exercise their judgment and prevent unfit candidates from being elected. That didn’t work in practice, and eventually states passed laws to pick partisan electors via popular vote. Then that gate keeping power shifted to party insiders, who chose the nominee and were meant to gatekeep bad/insane candidates. Then populists took that away too, because “people power” can never go wrong, right?

The current system, where you can vote in primaries, and where electors reflect their states’ vote, is just a few decades old.

Penalties for “faithless electors” are somewhat recent and only exist in states which passed laws to give themselves that power.
This is addressed further down (normally I might make a comment about reading the article before replying but given that it's 11,000 words, perhaps you can be forgiven):

> Quite a few of the people who build and maintain the frameworks themselves hold on to a lingering animosity because many of them feel gaslit about the capabilities of Web Components. Their perception of reality was that these standards were not useful to them at all, but the message they got – insistently – was that web components were the inevitable future of their own frameworks.

> This is the background that led Ryan Carniato, the author of SolidJS, to write his blog post Web Components Are Not the Future. That blog post is a reaction to a specific line of rhetoric that has gone unnoticed by most web developers because they were not the ones targeted. That’s why it looked like such an odd, angry, outburst to many and those foolish enough to support their chosen web development tech as if it were a football team took it or the reaction to it as validation that their “team” was better than the others.
Exactly. The weight of EVs is so overplayed, as if there was no difference already between a Corolla and a Camry.

I've always thought the right handed guitar was actually left-handed. I'm a lefty and play a 'right handed" guitar, but all the dexterity needed is in the left hand (pressing the fret board in intricate ways).

For things that require two hands, like hitting a hockey puck, I think one needs to take a close look at the dynamics involved to see where the dominant dexterity is actually truly most influential over an action being taken, before you can assign it a "handedness". Maybe, they just assigned the wrong "handedness" to hockey stick holding position.
The use of {} for strings without substitutions and effectively for scope are actually interrelated, remarkably.

Scopes are special syntactic forms that delegate variable substitution to the associated procedures. For example, a "for" statement evaluates the body of the function after substituting the loop variable. In a string based language, that's basically the same as expressing the scope in a string form where the string content is passed verbatim as an argument without variable substitution or function invocation.

Having used Tcl extensively back in the day, I am not sure that this syntactic cleverness really was a major impediment to adoption. It was just something to learn. Same was true with [] meaning lisp-like function calling rather than array definition.

Baseline Tcl's biggest challenge, in my opinion, was providing mechanisms to write modular code for larger programs and data encapsulation. Core Tcl put off decisions about the appropriate mechanisms to do so by only providing "namespaces" as a building block for higher level third-party syntax. That led to fragmentation at a time when other languages were gaining popularity.

Ironically, the best solution if that was the case, would be to hire some hackers and hack your own car. Find a kernel exploit, find a power glitching attack against the CPU, find a USB exploit, find a Bluetooth exploit, find a Recovery mode exploit, whatever it may be; and build a physical harness which consistently runs the exploit and modifies the signing certificate. Nasty but effective and probably cheap. Or, even, kills the main GUI and replaces it with your own.

If I was American Lease, I would look into that, besides suing.
