Politicians are also offered the right to free speech though, I'm not sure how a rule like this could work. It would also require someone or a group people are given authority to determine what that reality is and when the politician actively misrepresented it.

I don't know who in their right mind would go into office with such a limitation, and anyone there today would likely be found guilty. Hell, anyone attempting to make causal claims with regards to the economy are misrepresenting reality as causation can almost never be shown in economics, only correlations. Even the economic data itself could be considered misrepresentative in some ways, inflation data and CPI calculations are carefully controlled for various reasons.

What a lot of commenters cheering this headline might not know is that there is only one single internal road connecting east and west canada which regularly closes. Most commercial routes go through the US. Don't believe me? Route Ottawa to Vancouver in google maps.

This move would amount to throwing rocks from a glass house.
I would suspect that some countries would definitely go to China due to the more sizable economy. But a large number of others - especially those with more democratic idealogies - would go with the Euro.
If the US leadership hadn't started threatening Canada, there would almost certainly¹ have been a government open to cutting trade barriers by the end of the year. Canadians haven't been thrilled with some of our protected oligopolies, like groceries and telcos.

If it was just the trade spat, you might be right.

But there's also Trump repeatedly talking about annexing Canada. That goes well beyond a trade spat, and I would absolutely expect Canada to do more in response because that is in the mix. Including actively working to reduce their dependency on US-sourced or US-transiting products.
... I pay into the system. That's what your sort of disingenuous argument leads to, I'm against funding Ukraine therefore you think this merits I must prove the case of the entire fucking tax system.

iCal them „simple“ and „complex“ power. For someone who isn’t truly informed, a „Simple Energy“ solution seems much simpler than one based on renewable energy. With „simple“ power, solving climate change appears straightforward: just build more nuclear plants, which conveniently replace coal and gas on a 1:1 basis since they are baseload power generators.

Renewable energy, on the other hand, is (for now, the transition time) complex. It requires a better, smarter, and much larger interconnected grid, as well as intelligent management of supply, demand, and storage. It means considering and understanding multiple aspects at once. This complexity often leads people who are convinced that more simple power is the answer to dismiss the idea of renewables too quickly—because nuclear seems so much simpler.

I understand the appeal of simple energy. The sad part is that many people likely believe this is the scientifically correct position. And they are often so convinced that, even when presented with current studies and reasonable arguments against new nuclear plants, they quickly assume that the other person is just an irrational, biased anti-nuclear activist. After all, the simplest solution must also be the right one, right?

Being informed in this context doesn’t just mean knowing the pros and cons of nuclear, wind, or solar power. It requires a deep understanding of what is technically and financially feasible today—including energy forms, grid transformation, storage solutions (not just lithium-ion batteries), follow-up costs, sustainability (mining, waste disposal), as well as political, economic, military, and social implications. And how all of these factors interact.

But none of that is necessary if you just want to build more simple power plants.

The transition to 100% renewable energy is as complex as the development of the internet. If we were still relying on letters, telephones, fax machines, newspapers, radio, and TV, the idea of transitioning to a globally available, instant multimedia internet would have seemed just as utopian and impossible.
great sum up
> Very little life exists at the ocean floor, since there are very few life sustaining resources there.

You are making such a confident definitive statement about a part of our earth that is less accessible than outer space. Absence of evidence is decidedly not an evidence of absence here. We barely understand anything about the ocean floor and the deep ocean around it. We should not be going full steam with industrialization until we have a better grasp of how things work there. This is a once way gate where on the other end of it could be the consequential equivalent of just having a nuclear war.

Think about it this way - until recently people believed there was no oxygen in the deep ocean. That’s clearly not true. And they thought there was no life but if I recall correctly there actually is or at least is a good reason to believe there might be and reason to believe it’s critical in the overall cycle supporting all the other life that lives in the deep ocean.

> It seems clear that solar owes it's growth to Germany and California policies which subsidized the global solar industry with taxes on their economies, most disproportionately placed on individual ratepayers. But why couldn't solar research have been long-term funded based on it's fundamental value

I think this is a really important distinction, that between research in the lab versus research on the factory floor. Tesla in particular has talked about how much they value engineers that get down in to the production process versus those that are working in the lab. That's the "doing" that needs to happen. As well as shaking out parts of the upstream supply chains and making all that cheaper.

We can theorize about what's going to work in practice, but the price drops are the combination of 1% savings here, 0.75% savings there, 0.5% there, and until you have the full factory going you won't be able to fully estimate your actual numbers, much less come up with all the sequential small improvements that build on each other. And all that comes together in the design of the next factory that's the next magnitude up in size.

Do people have experience traveling with burner phones to the US and how border control may treat them if they request them? Considering that border officers seem to be able to deny entry for arbitrary reasons despite visas acquired etc, and the fact that even requesting the unlock of one's phone signals suspicion from their part, I would be afraid to offer any more suspicion of hiding sth. Do people just use a brand new phone, or they try to make it look like it has been used for some time?
Funny thing is that I have the obsidian-mcp-tools installed and today claude-desktop just starting fetching stuff from the web through that because it exposes a fetch tool to claude.

The other obvious solution is a "web of trust" where Cloudflare just tells you "this request goes in, this one goes out".

I think the paying approach is superior (after all you make money out of people using your service) but Cloudflare is a straight forward/simpler one.

Whatever "well-designed" means. At any rate, wonder where you got the "many people" from, who actually have read the manual.

For some of my use-cases, strtok is designed well enough. If I need something else, then I will use something else, and so should you. No need to re-implement strtok (or any other functions) readily available.

The native app that allows for MCP is only available officially on Mac's and the web interface is generally more convenient for non-technical users. Searching and interacting with the web has become a table-stakes feature and was a glaring gap in Claude.
Hi, I've been a web front-end dev for 25+ years. I have no idea what Backbone is/was. There's no direct lineage there, I think that's a sort of forced reading. Also the whole notion of a "front-end vs back-end" division only covers part of the web's history.

imo a real "lineage" would be something like…

- pre-AJAX, server-rendered sites (PHP, JSP, ASP, ColdFusion; no division of front/back-end)

- the monolithic framework era (Drupal, Ruby on Rails, Laravel) with some AJAX Javascript and jQuery sprinkled in

- the modern era of reactive frameworks (front-end fully decoupled)

Even within the most popular modern framework, NextJS, the first question a developer has to ask is “how do I manage state?” Actually that's the second question; the first is “how do I manage styling? should I use Tailwind, or something that doesn't suck?"

Immediately you're looking at dozens of conceptually different choices, which makes one wonder if it even makes sense to call NextJS a framework at all. A real framework would have prescribed methods.

This is why there's front-end churn, there's never been a right way to do any of this, because the web wasn't designed to be an app platform. It's all hacks, from top to bottom.

Awesome, but I also do want to say it’s pretty sad it took this long straight up. Literally no excuse. But I’m glad they finally got to a feature that was launched more than a year ago on competitors.
There are two types of non-corporate hackathons:

1. The kind where you have to advertise all over and work hard to convince people to come to. You're happy with whoever shows up.

2. The kind where you have so many entries that you need to filter out the non-serious people and save your limited space for people with the actual skills and motivation to show up and contribute.

The second kind is usually associated with some big institution or influencer. It might have a history of participation from people who went on to be successful.

In this case, it's associated with universities. Different universities probably encourage their students to apply and compete.
They would go further, and argue that it’s the people who argue against this narrative, are supporters of criminals.

I.e. - It’s gone from “you are too soft on crime”, to “you are supporting criminals.”
I've proposed an idea several times that I think might resolve this situation, but it's never received any real uptake and I can see some serious issues with the approach.

Instead of building a "inner system" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inner-platform_effect) where the browser uses HTML, CSS, and Javascript to create interactive applications, or attempting to make a sandboxed and highly limited execution environment (WebAssembly), browser tabs should be Virtual Machines- in the sense that VMWare, KVM, and HyperV are VMs, not in the sense that some language runtimes are VMs.

Think about it: every tab on your machine could be its own little machine running a full stack and rendering the output to a framebuffer (the tab window content). It provides precisely the sandboxing and virtual IO that existing VMs have already implemented and optimized.

But of course, if you do this, you don't actually need a browser window with tabs: you just render the application to a standalone window. But then really what value does the browser provide, other than giving you some convenient runtime for accessible web resources? So just put the browser runtime in the operating system and host applications within virtual machines. Nothing stops you from building applications using web frameworks- you can still use javascript, HTML, and CSS if you want, within or seperate from existing high quality graphics application frameworks (like Qt, GTK, etc).

Those reading carefully will note this is exactly what (some) operating systems have been capable of doing for longer than the WWW has existed, and all major operating systems now support this natively (KVM, HyperV, Apple Hypervisor) and they also all embed full browser capability in native libraries. The main issue I see is that there are now 2 or 3 hardware architetures (x86, arm, risc-v) and a VM does not directly resolve performance issues of cross-arch translation, so devs would still need to produce binary packages for 2-3 archectures to reach the level of cross-OS compatibility that browsers currently support.

I work frequently with Qt and it's amazing how much better it is for building powerful, complex applications that have long term support.

Now you comment on what others do, or commit single function packages.
Thats too linear and ignores quite a few things:

What really happens is:

Productivity goes up → income goes up → real estate prices go up -> existing home owners and realtor organizations (at minimum) lobby for regulations to keep those prices up -> stricter zoning laws and build approval processes get passed -> demand isn't met as housing supply is artificially constrained to protect existing owners over new entrants, including new housing styles that maximize land usage (e.g., multi story condominiums or dense town house projects)

What should happen is:

Productivity goes up → income goes up → real estate prices go up temporarily -> new builds to meet current and future demand go up (as you would see in any other type of marketplace) -> housing prices come down as there is always going to be incentives to maximize land value in desirable places in a myriad of ways, and doesn't always mean building cookie cutter single family homes as we often see now (due to the aforementioned regulatory constraints that zoning regulations impose)

There is an artificial cap on how it works, and its done through zoning laws and other build regulations that make it anywhere from onerous to illegal to build housing in a maximally efficient way, all in service to protect existing owners home values as much as possible, at the expense of anything else.

This is why I will always advocate for a land value tax. Because it acts as a forcing function: you either pay the tax (which gets higher as time goes on) or you maximize the value of the land (which usually means selling off parcels to meet the tax obligation / lower future obligations, and/or building something to utilize the land, of which the most straightforward is often more housing, and denser the better as it increases utilization)
Sigh, this is awful. Earthly is/was not perfect, but is basically the most capable build tool I've ever used. Fingers crossed there's enough enthusiasm in the community to fork it (I'd be organizing it myself if I had any experience with Go at all)

Yeah I mean that it went USA specific and also time specific. If you know enough to ask clarification that's great. But the problem with research is I don't know what I don't know, so when it puts me in a very small part of the problem space it's hard for me to see how little knowledge I've gained.

In this example, I wouldn't personally consider any of these theories for why suburbs exist. They're all important reasons for the expansion of US suburbs during one time period. But that doesn't answer the question of why, for example, there aren't forces that pin everyone either to an urban or rural existence without suburbs. The answer to that question would involve rather different concepts than the answer it gave IMO.
The EU appetite for debt would grow if non-EU kept trying to buy it. It would force practical EU interest rates lower regardless of what the central banks do, allowing governments to choose to take on more debt-funded projects due to debt being cheap
