> Unfortunately, it’s not possible to express this sentiment via election participation.

Not just election participation, no.

You do have to use the generally-free-to-use, generally-globally-accessible publishing systems that are available to nearly anyone with a computer to explain why you refused to vote. (This is my big issue with the "Refusing to vote is meaningless, because noone will know why you didn't vote." counterargument.)

Whether your assertions that you didn't vote because -for instance- none of the available candidates were people you wished to see in the positions they were running for get deleted because they are "Election misinformation" or similar is an open question.
If you genuinely believe that number, you have fallen for the propaganda. Ten million people did not enter the country in such a short time. DHS estimates the _total_ unauthorized immigrant population at around 11 million as of 2022.

The guy missed a third option for powering Mars vehicles: compressed "air" engines. On Mars the "air" is CO2, but the actual gas is not that important. On Earth compressed air vehicles were tried, and they mostly failed, but that's because there are other more efficient alternatives, like the plain old gasoline powered cars. But on Mars, the simplicity of spinning a turbine with CO2 coming from a pressurized tank is hard to beat. You would then let the CO2 vent in the atmosphere.

Xcode opening all my JSON files is equally obnoxious. At least it is relatively easy to sort that out in macOS.
To be fair, as it relates to this topic there isn't really a need to discuss because foreign entities have been banned from owning controlling stakes in TV and radio networks without approval. A Chinese organization would never be allowed to control a news network in the way they control TikTok.
Have never had truffle. Is it universally liked or is it an acquired taste?

Got truffle oil, with black truffle, from Costco. It was one of the most vile thing I’ve ever tasted.

Either I don’t have the genes to like truffle or it was some fake shit.
Then why do republicans call them communists because they want to provide (free) services to ... who exactly ?
Thing is, people will say stuff like this and them foam at the mouth at the mere mention of the phrase "food stamps". Methinks this sudden empathy is a load of crocodile tears.
Yeah its a bit nuanced. You're correct encryption is automatic, but the key is unprotected unless you enable FileVault, which is the opt-in bit I was talking about.

Financial Diaries – A glimpse into the financial life of low-income households

January is two months away. I would.
I'm an old-ish person (61). I started watching the news when I was about 12. I think we were better off as a society when there were basically 3 TV/radio networks (ABC,CBS and NBC) each dispensing basically the same dull, boring (by today's standards) newscast. There were newspapers, of course, and they tended to be where you'd find the more opinionated stuff, but there were limits on how many newspapers an entity could own in any particular market. The fairness doctrine reigned over broadcast news, so you wouldn't have stuff like Fox news and probably not even a lot of what's on MSNBC. It just feels to me like we had a more cohesive national vision and weren't nearly as divided as we are now. I'm sure this will be unpopular here, but I'm not sure more options has helped us in terms of being able to live together. So many families can't even meet for Thanksgiving dinner anymore, for example, because of the arguments that break out. People are living in completely different truth bubbles now which makes it almost impossible to communicate.

I'm don't want to be completely pollyannish about the past - there were probably things we weren't hearing about from those fewer outlets. But I'm also not sure how we move forward as a society in a situation where there are so many different shattered views of what is true.

I feel like "consider dataclasses as a useful default" is decent advice.

You get the stuff you get from `NamedTuple`, but you can also easily add helper methods to the class as needed. And there are other dataclass goodies (though some things I find to be a bit anti-feature-y).

It's exactly as deep and genuine as saying hi to a stranger in a bar (and if you think the barman is any less profit-oriented than the Tiktok algorithm you're naive) or whatever the back-in-your-day paradigm was.
Travel is a right, including interstate travel, but Dixon v Love (among others) have held that personally operating a motor vehicle (“driving”) is a privilege rather than an inherent right.

You can take a bus, taxi, or airplane to travel.
Technically all of the main three blocs were coalitions, the bigger picture matching your description.

The left-wing coalition was about 9~10 parties, Macron's coalition was around 6~7 right leaning/centrist parties, and Le Pen's block joined by one or two smaller far right/conservative parties.
He does, but I'm kind of glad for it, as if they weren't around then there probably wouldn't be a podcast. Even though he's the only member of the podcast I find likable, I still find the exchanges entertaining.

Americans want a better future than what seems in the cards for the EU
When I read comments like yours I can't but think that we are being brainwashed.

The biggest foreign meddler and spy in Canada is the southern neighbor.

We know for a fact through leaks that US has put all Canadians under mass surveillance both in communication and movement (like the wifi hacking at airports leaked by Snowden) since more than a decade, or the 2023 Pentagon leaks that were quickly scolded as "but they were trying to find Russian activity in Canada", and don't forget the AT&T whistleblower which also exposed mass surveillance on Canadians by US intelligence.

And yet..nobody cares..even though we know for a fact it happens, we don't care let alone call the US an enemy.

So, what is the difference? The media and politicians calling 24/7 China your enemy (something nobody would've done before 2018/2017), but ignoring or pretending that the real spy of all spies which hacks and spies on all of its allies, even the personal phone of the German chancellor is cool.

I find those double standards not only mind blowing, but dangerous.

We're letting the White House to dictate globally who can play by the rules and who is an exception.

Well what are you trying to measure?

Twitter was trying make money, X is doing much worse at that than Twitter was. Musk may not care about that and may be fine with the significant drop in valuation since his purchase (he may have had other goals).

Is it the case that we want the government to become much less effective at current goals, with the possibility that it transforms to effectively serve other goals? Of course if you just say that the government is bad, it's easy to argue that making it less effective is good, but "it's bad and needs to change" is not an articulation of an interesting argument.
The newest Xbox model doesn't have any new features; they stripped the drive so they could offer a lower-cost model. And while the newest PlayStation model doesn't have a drive, they sell one separately. So physical games are still alive and well for all three competitors.
There's a common theme here.

People in general are feeling less secure. The rise of the 'precariat' class is a good example of this.

This gives rise to legitimate concerns about immigration. But the left and centrist parties fail to address these concerns - instead blaming people for having them.

I don't subscribe to the idea that everyone voting for right wing parties is a racist xenophobic. Unfortunately the only parties that address the concerns people have are often led by racist xenophobics.

I am definitely left wing, but I blame the left for the rise of the right. They abrogated their responsible to represent people by failing to address their most pressing concerns.

No, just years of improv training.

After this election, not a horrible idea, but I'm not sure Columbia is the best choice for a destination. Panama would probably be a lot better, and you wouldn't need to make a commune. Panama City is a pretty decent-looking place, and even has a subway system that makes the public transit in the US look bad. Costa Rica would be good too.
The term "Hell Joseon" was widely popularized (Joseon is the old name of Korea, and incidentally still the name used for North Korea in Korean, Chinese and Japanese).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell_Joseon

"Escaping Hell Joseon" is apparently a thing:
https://asiatimes.com/2019/12/75-of-young-want-to-escape-sou...

I think only a small percentage of respondents have brought their aspiration into practice, but they obviously think other countries are better than Korea. I'd love to see a poll asking them which countries they would prefer.

I don't think they are entirely wrong. Economic hardship and uncertain future for young people are prevalent in all developed economies, but South Korea also suffers from terrible work-life balance and strict work culture (probably significantly worse than Japan on both counts). And recent admissions scandals[1][2] have made Koreans even more skeptical about the fairness of the system. I'm not sure if Ivy League universities are any better, but the Korean scandals were really in-your-face.

Ah of course! The famous democracy exit that got most electoral and popular vote.
Because there’s varying degrees of corruption. If you had to choose between living under American leadership vs North Korean, wouldn’t you have a preference or are they the same because neither is perfect?
Okay, now you want to put more satellites in the sky, for weather and gps.

Is there some evidence that what we have now is not enough or wouldn’t ever be replaced? I cannot find anything online about that.

So I still do not see how this will necessarily improve my daily life as the weather information I have now is already good.
> It doesn't even matter if you agree with the claims that were made about voter fraud, I can't think of any good faith argument by literally anyone on the political compass that it didn't cause people to lose faith in electoral process.

Maybe people shouldn't have faith in the electoral process, and the way to rebuild confidence in the integrity of the electoral process is to rebuild the integrity of the electoral process first and tell people about it second.
Trans women are women, but not female. The right are the only ones talking about trans people and have been for 6 years, regardless
I always interpret these things in the context which sent Leona Helmsley to jail:
"only little people pay taxes".

People heard her say that and were outraged. What's funny is that when you think about it, it actually does make sense although it's pejorative.

Rich people don't pay taxes. They invest their money, which is incentivized by the government in the form of lower/different taxation. Similarly they use experienced lawyers who understand the tax code to structure their wealth in ways that allow them to pay lower taxes. And the term little people, while pejorative, really represents the power differential between people like her husband and the "Average Joe". Trump is not little people, but he's somehow managed to express things in ways that "little" people (using Leona's terminology, not my own) like.

Much of politics is about not directly saying the truth, whether it be ugly, undesired, or complicated. Instead it's about understanding what drives voters (higher out of pocket prices uncoupled from concomitant wage increases) and how to say the thing they want to hear, while also enacting policies that achieve your political goals.
So give a rebate to poor people. Instead we are subsidizing everybody who drives, rich or poor.
Product Quality Through Change Management (1999)
This is something I’ve been preaching at work and it just falls on deaf ears. We aren’t even doing a great job with monolithic, why people think modular is going to _improve_ things is beyond my comprehension. I’ve pretty much decided no one actually cares and they just see it as an opportunity for résumé building. Someone want to enlighten me?
Most people don't care why the prices went up, they just want them to not go up. Distinction on definition really doesn't matter.
Support for Israel reflects the broad support in the American public. You'll find that elected officials generally reflect the opinions of those that voted for them. They likely disagree with your opinions and think Israel is right to use force to defend itself against the aggression of its enemies.

That said these sorts of issues were way down the list in these elections and people have to compromise on some issues and vote on the aggregate. I do think that it's pretty clear the Republicans were and are a lot more understanding and publicly supportive of Israel vs. the Democrats. They didn't try to do a "both sides here" but clearly communicated who they consider to be the aggressor and who they consider to be defending themselves. That doesn't mean that every single republican voter feels that way but a lot of them do.

The US also supported and brokered quite a few peace initiatives in the middle east. It's not fair to say it only acts to support wars.
Definitely some similarities!

SQLModel is also based on Pydantic, so the schema definitions that you'll write will look very similar to Iceaxe. Internally however SQLModel is implemented as a wrapper over SQLAlchemy. This is beneficial for support of multiple different database backends (mysql+postgres+sqlite) and for its battle tested track record. But as a drawback it also inherits a lot of the SQLAlchemy baggage like async+sync incompatibility and some funkiness with passing through types.

Since Iceaxe just targets Postgres, it can simplify a lot of those assumptions. It's implemented as async-only, leverages the most recent additions to typehinting in Python 3.12, and bakes in migration support. Documentation can capture explicit best practices for targeting Postgres versus attempting to abstract across every database backend.

It's also a bit different philosophically. It encourages explicit sql when you need to write complex queries; we support programatic joins out-of-the-box, but for more complex SQL (common table expressions for one) I find an ORM can often overly abstract what your engine is actually doing and hide subtle bugs that make their way into production.

I've spent quite some time with SQLModel as part of my Mountaineer web framework. It's great - just targets a broader range of ORM goals. Philosophically I'm trying to keep Iceaxe lean, fast, and Postgres optimized.
Because Biden won that election?
The difficulty here is that it has long been US policy to promote the exports of its intellectual property (such as its movies) and communications networks (such as the internet). Trade policy is almost always a two way street, particularly in the modern era in which arrangements like the "unequal treaties" that choked the Qing dynasty are highly unusual. So banning Tiktok necessarily results in reciprocal bans. Canada does not have similar concerns as the US does because it is our little gas station whose pretensions to independence we humor and they do not export IP or communications technologies at the same scale as we do.
There are zero actual reasons to think that food price deflation would be terrible. You can look back through decades of consumer price history and find many cases where at least certain foodstuffs got cheaper. It wasn't a problem.

The US President has little power to lower food prices anyway though, so this discussion is kind of moot.
> Instead of the laser focus on TikTok as a threat, it would be better for the US and Canada to have real data protection laws that would apply equally to TikTok, Meta, Google, Apple, and X.

The law should be against general bad behavior by social media companies, but it isn't because the unsaid reasoning is too impolite to speak: we can compromise with Western companies' spying, manipulation, and exploitation of us, but it's unacceptable if a Chinese company does the same.

These sorts of movements gain a life of their own at some point, but the cynical side of me suspects the TikTok ban animus started with big tech lobbyists, not a grassroots movement from concerned citizenry.
Why is the other child comment of this one - the one saying they can't imagine growing up while boycotting social media - deleted?
We could gate the special jobs behind a contest rather than abuse. Just a thought -- but not the most profitable one.

Labor demand is structurally lower than supply. That's the state of the modern world and it could have been a good thing. Instead, even important unsexy work is systematically demeaned and marginalized by this fact. See: unskilled labor -> essential workers -> unskilled labor. The proceeds are boiled away and condensed onto financial assets, which serve the purpose of paying rich people for being rich in proportion to how rich they are. This establishes, reinforces, and perpetuates a class hierarchy where the people on the bottom must constantly pay to exist while the people on top constantly get paid to exist.
I agree that there's a huge difference between the rhetoric and policies. I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around people viewing him as both a "straight talker" and someone who's "just jokin'". There's also huge variability about his personal policy whims he may lose interest in, and those in power around him with strong and motivated agendas.
The double standard is in calling China an enemy when China has never done jack shit to Canada for allegedly spying through tik tok, but scolding off the southern neighbor which we have multiple proofs has put all Canadians under mass surveillance (from communication to movement) for which we have proofs and leaks by whistleblowers like Snowden or the AT&T guy.

That's what worries me, the easiness with which we label one as enemy, and assume the other one being normal.

I mean, you can make an argument based on speculation, but we have the evidence of what has happened in the past.
I think most people who are poor who voted for Trump expect him to eliminate unnecessary rent-seekers while also putting up barriers to free trade, thus increasing domestic spending, which (waves hands) leads to lower prices.

It's not a solved problem. Surviving the re-entry in a condition that makes reuse economical was always the biggest challenge for the Starship. It's far from certain that they can achieve it without a fundamental change in the concept.

The feasibility of building big rockets was already demonstrated a long time ago. Given the reliability of the Falcon 9, it looked plausible that a big rocket could work with many engines. And SpaceX had already shown that they can reuse boosters economically. But reusing orbital spacecraft – the entire upper stage with engines, fuel tanks, and whatever – without expensive and time-consuming refits is something nobody has done before.
True. It’s not just in music. There is almost no such thing as mainstream culture anymore — it’s exciting for individuals, but also quite worrying, especially when it comes to politics and description of factual events. No wonder democracy seems to be steadily going down the pan.
