> Most people don't find a small measure of indirect control equally reassuring as a large measure of direct control. For example I can directly control my water usage but have very little indirect control over the world's water usage. So psychologically things out of direct control tend to be felt like outside of control.

I think the evidence is overwhelmingly otherwise. Most people in many, many cultures embrace democracy, for example; they mass protest - a seemingly universal human behavior; they organize themselves to achieve political ends - including over water usage.

As I said, this powerlessness is a meme. I think it's not only self-defeating, it's dangerous to society - it's irresponsible, because we are all responsible and we need the mass participation we have historically had.
This article is about someone getting cutting edge care beyond medical literature from the one of the leading experts in the world. I've got to imagine most health funds would simply not be able to cover that type of care for an individual?

Adapting to a Changing World Order: Steps for Individuals and Businesses
Is it possible for my/my employer’s insurer to convince my employer to fire me if my or my dependent’s health needs are “too expensive”?

Could they eg. Give my employer a lower rate as an incentive to do that?
If Germany, France, Britian, and Poland can become allies and tightly integrated economic partners with open boarders after that exact same conflict why can't Japan and China do the same?
It would have helped if they waited that the market would grew beyond 10%, and didn't keep messing up the whole development experience, that even on Windows desktop made everyone besides Windows team lose interest.

Now they want to sell services, while Apple and Google control all major endpoints.
Your first paragraph highlights the issue perfectly. You mentioned Bulma—how many developers have even heard of it, let alone use it regularly? It’s even worse when one app uses Bulma because someone wanted to try it out, another uses Tailwind because it came along a year later, and then there’s a 10-year-old PHP project still stuck on Bootstrap 3.

With something like MUI, everything is where I expect it to be. That consistency lets me focus on learning the business logic, addressing critical bugs, and thus making meaningful contributions.
> Ideally, I want to be able to replace git with something that is built on CRDTs. When branches have no conflicts, CRDTs already work fine - since you merge, run tests, and push when you’re happy.

How is this different than git's automatic merging? Or another compatible algorithm
I've had the experience of buying a prescribed medication in an EU country without local insurance, so the pharmacist had to charge me full price (and sincerely apologized for doing so) yet the full price was less than my co-pay would have been in the USA.
It doesn't make me feel any kind of way.

Retro gaming is a necessity: modern games, like most modern software, are too good at manipulating the player's psychology and I certainly won't let my kids play free-to-play crap or let them on social media.

For myself: I genuinely like old games more than modern (with a few exceptions, eg. Balatro comes to mind)

I don't see a lot of appeal for retro programming; sure, dependency hell was not a problem in the past and tooling was simpler, but modern stacks have a series of productivity multipliers. You need to be careful in selecting the right technologies - but after that you are literally flying compared to old SDKs.
Think again what's happening.

If this whole thing is true then this is not evidence that anyone at Tokyo uni stops Chinese students from applying. But it is evidence that CCP stops them. By not loading Tokyo uni's site.

I love this dismissive attitude that anyone who fails to empathize with someone who makes tens of millions a year AND denies health insurance claims is somehow mentally ill. Get real.
That is how I said it, but there was no joint understanding of what I predicted about the future.
When I was a teen, Symbian smartphones with a physical slide keyboards were all the rage, but too expensive for my budget. I was day dreaming of how cool that'd be to be able to ssh someplace from a phone via grps. I did it years later once (from an early android phone). Now I have an android phone that can do that easily (albeit without a physical keyboard), and yet I never do that day to day. Phones make poor computer and computer make poor phones - it appears easier to send data across then to bother trying to merge them into one.

The real question I have is why software keeps getting progressively slower requiring faster phones. I don't buy the "devs are lazy / management pushes for frequent releases, so devs use poor expensive platforms like electron" or "all manufactures conspire to make phones that age too fast" - both devs and companies have always been like that, I don't see any recent fundamental shift in that. And it is not like current dev experience is somehow fundamentally different and easier then 10y ago - we use similar kinds of abstraction to do similar things (maybe ~20% more productive and simple?). I am genuinely confused.
Thanks for the suggestion - will look into it tomorrow.

Not performance heavy here. What I do require is something that is less buggy though. Maxima has zero to no test suite so there are regularly stupid regressions that break everything.
> The fact that there are situations when implementing referential integrity is difficult does not mean you shouldn’t do it at all.

> Referential integrity is specified at the logical level and does not dictate any particular implementation. OTOH violating 1NF makes it impossible to even specify RI constraints.

Now we're bargaining. If referential integrity does not dictate any particular implementation, then having an application-level RI and no database-level constrains should also be acceptable. Yet this is not a common FK enthusiasts position.

We just had a discussion of DSQL where a lot of people were saying things like "no FKs thus no real database". Well, I dunno.
It seems all the responses I'm seeing here are thinking this would be technically handled behind the scenes.

I mean literally, we both open our phones, what is the number that is linking the 2FA between our two devices. Voice authentication of a rotating password.

It's smooth brain stupid, like comments posting Tiananmen copypastas on reddit or youtube thinking it would kick out PRC users, who are on those sites in the first place because they're already using VPN to jump over the GFW. Ditto with PRC cohorts who applies to study abroad, who will invariably have VPN access and just switch on if a admissions page times out.

Like ~50% of Japan's international students are from PRC, and this is University of Tokyo who from anecdotes is very friendly to PRC applicants, and have one of the largest international student bodies in general. Quick search online Tokyo University has 4968 international students, 3232 is from PRC, or 65%, substantially higher than JP average, which is way more than I thought. So it's likely just some disgruntled racist who thought it was this one neat trick to block the chicoms, otherwise if it's formal policy, admissions could always just lowkey reduce PRC admission without any overt evidence and prevent drama.

> A swatter is just as culpable for someone getting killed/hurt, even if theoretically the actual act was caused by police negligence.

...but this is a horrifying and repugnant example. Police violence is not "theoretical", and the critical vulnerability in society which renders an anonymous, unsworn phone call as cover for one person to murder another is bound to be exploited, regardless of we sum the blame.

If we simply disband SWAT teams, there will be nothing to blame so-called "swatters" for because these murders and other acts of terror will be brought to a swift end.
Yep! My family's first computer was 21 years old in 2005. (I remember scouring the classified ads in the newspaper each week with my dad in late 1987 to find the best computer deal we could. We wound up with an Apple //c from 1984.)

Happy user of a Galaxy S7 from 2016. It's smaller than what you can get now and has a physical apps/home/back area which I love. I use them till I break or lose them. I never have to care about because I know I can get a second had one for less than 100 euros. Not having valuable stuff with is really liberating. Will use them until I can't no more.
Yes, absolutely, just present it in "historical misunderstandings" section.

My only concern is that it is presented as if it was something natural to begin with.
Modularity was probably a big deal once upon a time because of hardware costs and the difficulty of synchronization. I'm just not sure it's been that that for a long time. Even the iPad which I somewhat hesitantly bought with a keyboard (and pencil) for a versatile travel device, I'm not totally convinced I couldn't have stuck with mu old MacBook Pro for most purposes.

Thank you so much for this comment, detail and link. I was not aware of this aspect of his management style. The current CEO of my company has spoken highly of Andy Grove (I believe he was at Intel during Grove's tenure) and learning these details has helped me to see some similarities in my own company leadership.
It's the CCP who blocked its own netizens from accessing the admission page, not Todai.

The filesystem APIs for Windows and POSIX have extremely similar semantics when you bridge their superficial differences. I don't think this is as huge an achievement as suggested. Many multiplatform projects have similar wrapper layers. Indeed the FILE* abstraction in the C standard does some of it. (But not sufficient for the functionality that sqlite needs, hence the need for another wrapper.)

That's not a knock on sqlite, I consider it well implemented and one of my favorite libraries I've ever seen, used and studied.
It's not, when you try to go to the video it says "Tom Evans" on the error message.
Thanks for this, I was wondering why people would care so much about these files that they go and complain. Reading through these forum questions, looks like most people are trying to free up disk space by clearing temp files, but the SQLite ones can't be deleted - because they are in use and locked - which causes confusion.

I disagree, fundamentally, that using a hyperbolic metaphor "trivializes" the underlying concept used.

Regardless, I have found over the last several years that attempting to scold people for not measuring up to your standards - ones they never signed up to uphold - without a serious attempt to justify them is strongly counterproductive.

Especially when it's couched in language that will readily be interpreted as snarky. One of the reasons people dislike the phrase "it's not my job to educate you" so much is that it takes for granted the presumption that the underlying idea is a subject of education, i.e., an objective fact rather than an article of someone's worldview. Prefacing a claim with "FYI" (i.e., "for your information") has the same issue. Taste, in the metaphorical sense used here, is definitionally not objective, and thus it is not possible in principle to "inform" others of what is or is not in good taste - only of some other community's standards for taste.
Youtube doesn’t know, because the DMCA doesn’t require the complainant to be very specific. The right course of action is to deny the complaint and make a counter complaint to youtube. This forces Youtube to reinstate the video, and forces the original complainant to take their complaint to an actual court. A copyright bully will simply never do that. They’re relying on people to give up at the first step, without making a counter complaint.
Counterpoint:

Taiwan and other nations are smart, ambitious, and not interested in being enslaved by China.

If China tries to enslave these other nations with a mechanized war, I think you can expect their opponents to play a different game.

For example, by crafting a virus that targets their opponent's families.

The concept that a war with China would just be about manufacturing capacity does not appropriately consider the creativity and viciousness of their potential opponents.
Interesting story but “At least half a dozen false alarms” out of 300k isn’t a “deluge.” Sure, lots of money spent to answer the false alarms but who knows how many lives were saved through the campaign.

One of the reasons for the decline of the Ottoman Empire was that sultans spent precious labor and resources on grand projects like this, for example around the Arabian peninsula as well as the Sahara. This ended up contributing to the bankrupting of the empire, which required them to take heftier and heftier loans from Europe and Russia.
I've been to Turpan and the Tarim Basin area, which is on the northeast edge of the desert. It's the only place I've witnessed a sandstorm, and it's very hot ... local people told me not to leave rented bikes parked in sunlight as the tires were at risk of bursting.

Many centuries ago, local Uyghur people developed ingenious mechanisms to channel snowmelt from the northern mountains for irrigation ... basically covered stone channels that stretch for thousands of miles and enable crops like grapes and melons to be grown. In Turpan itself, grape trellises are grown over many sidewalks which cools pedestrians and looks quite nice.
The README mentions some ad-blocker integration. Is there an element zapper (click on element on the page to remove it temporarily)?

I doubt this is effective to deter applications coming from China.

Japan is not US and Chinese are not black. Context is everything.
>Or is the intent to resist the authoritarian behaviour of the CCP?

No, the intent is to discriminate against Chinese people. I've lived and worked in Japan, stereotyping of Chinese and Koreans as the article points out is common. If you wanted to convince young Chinese students of democracy you'd probably take them up on the opportunity to educate and have a dialog with them. That is the liberal democratic way, instead of aiding their government in censoring them.

There's nothing democratic about some random person at a public institution pulling a stunt like this, they have no authority to do so. If they don't like what students are coming to their university, in a democracy they're free to vote for people who want to change that.
Twenty (!) years ago I got home from a drug store shopping trip and realized I had been charged for some expensive items I didn't buy. I called, they immediately found me on their surveillance recording, saw the items were actually bought by the previous person in line, and quickly refunded me. No face recognition was involved (they just used the timestamp from my receipt), but the experience immediately made me a fan of video monitoring.
I'd be interested in anybody who has tried https://devenv.sh/ and https://www.jetify.com/devbox and chosen one over the other. Tried devbox which has been good, but not devenv.
A student who believes in the freedom of information and is curious probably will do great in school. A great institution understands rules are meant to uplift and protect us, and that a student who sees beyond black ink and chiseled stone for a better tomorrow is the very same breed of rule maker which creates such great institutions in the first place. I know first hand from colleagues, bypassing the censorship is common for intelligent youth in China. We must always ask ourselves what the best is we can do and always avoid the "dangerous slippery slopes"

Im surprised Apple hasn’t done this yet. I thought about this maybe 5-6 years ago as a product idea.
My thought was that you had a monitor with a wireless charging pad built into the base, drop you phone on the base and it automatically connects to the monitor and other peripherals and starts charging.
You just pick up your phone and leave and it automatically disconnects.

I think other commenters are right that this would cannibalize Apples own products, which is a shame since I think it would be awesome to have a unified computing device.

MacOS already runs on arm64 and the iphone has wireless charging and bluetooth, so I don’t think there is a lot stopping Apple from doing this.
> Instead, every survey of Americans shows around 80% are satisfied with their health coverage.

Weird how heath coverage is the only thing in America 80% of the people are satisfied with. It's such a nice round number, too. I'm assuming it's men only, or were women polled before Roe v. Wade was dumped?
Hmm ok, shoot. I hope someone comes and cleans it up with one day, a historically significant piece of software, I would say.
I happen to think it’s disingenuous to assume the new vaccines are weird and different and therefore your reluctance is justified unlike other people in the past.
We are starting to adopt devenv in our team. Overall it's really good--we have control over our toolchain, environment, and the processes that we start. There are some lingering papercuts though, like they haven't yet released a version where they allow specifying the Go toolchain version, and they seem to periodically re-download the Nix package archive. But I think they are improving fairly quickly.

Ultimately, we might still end up moving to straight Nix flakes, just not sure yet.

My original post received more upvotes than misguided replies, so the majority of people seemed to understand me. Moreover, the so-called "natural" interpretation ignores something I said:

> Even the Supreme Court justices have been revealed to be on the take, lavished with "gifts" from the wealthy.

This can't possibly be interpreted as a statement about campaign war chests and election outcomes. Supreme Court justices don't take campaign donations or stand for elections against other candidates.

> When people generally think of political elections being for sale, the idea that comes to mind is the more connected candidate winning against the less connected opposition.

My original post didn't say that elections are for sale. It said that our government is for sale. You, in your own mind, made it about election outcomes.

> What you wrote is most naturally interpreted as concerning the election result, not any actions taken afterward, given the context of the article being about contributions towards the election result.

This completely misunderstands the nature of political corruption. As I said already, it's transactional. The wealthy donors aren't simply cheerleaders who are satisfied that their chosen candidate wins. These donors want things in return for their donations. The actions taken by the candidates afterward are essential to the relationship.

It should be noted that a candidate's campaign war chest doesn't consist entirely of donations from the wealthy. There are many small donors. So the question of which candidate has the larger overall campaign war chest is not directly related to the main issue, which is, as I said originally, "The two major political parties are simply competing factions of the upper class." The reason that the wealthy own the politicians, despite not funding their entire campaigns, is that the wealthy can achieve personal, transactional relationships with the politicians, in a way that smaller donors, or mere non-donating voters, cannot. A massive donation of millions of dollars brings the personal attention of the politician to the individual donor.
Ah right, makes sense
The insurer is a business, its ultimate priority is the make money. Same as the hospital, the drug producer, etc. I am sure they all want to prioritize client care but that have to ration it by cost at some level.
Docs are terrible, writing new packages is difficult, etc. It may be the right technical direction but the execution is lackluster

I was once asked whether I was carrying large sums of cash at Oslo airport. I think the only reason they asked me was because there was literally nobody else in sight.
I was in my early twenties and broke af. I was wearing jeans with huge holes in them and shoes that were more duct tape than shoe.
I showed them all the cash I had on me: 3 coins. 2 of them had holes in them.
I was on a team rewriting a UI from native to web, so we were moving fast on copying existing features instead of inventing new ones. About four times in 18 months we had triplets of features in the backlog and tried to generalize the implementation on the second occurrence, only to have to do expensive rework on the third. The code and the tests just wouldn’t bend the right way. We had mostly agreed to follow the Rule of 3 but someone kept thinking this time would be different and it never was. The last story was always the slowest and extra time spent on the middle one was wasted.
Something I've always been confused about is where are these Russian assets to seize? Are there just yachts sitting off the coast of Ukraine? Russian investments in businesses? Or, would it come after a peace deal where the Russian government pays reparations for the war?
