I mean, in the specific realm of trade wars, that’s probably more correct, because the game theory of the thing tends to make retaliating against the aggressor nigh-inevitable, particularly in a “country v world” situation.

I share the same feeling. Heck, even some books from the 70s and 80s are similar with this respect.

I believe those of us who can should try to do our best so that this art is not forgotten. It's extremely difficult to do today as the incentives are mostly opposite, but I believe the long term benefit to humanity is higher.
Trust doesn’t matter if you have the most powerful military force in the world. You think the middle eastern countries surrounding Israel trust Netanyahu? Nope, but they sure fall in line and keep the negotiated peace because let’s face it, all of them combined will crumble before a single Israeli battalion. Might does indeed work in negotiations regardless of trust.
It’s certainly the case that there is overlap with the positions of the State Department and the truth. But the positions of the U.S. government and its vassal states are not defacto truth. That’s how they’re treated, however. In fact, those who approach state narratives with skepticism are not taken seriously, and those who choose to be stenographers become the editors of the New York Times or the Atlantic, etc.

> but that co-exists with a reality apparently uncomfortable to critics that having the moral upper hand and aligning ourselves with the project of global democracy post-World War II absolutely was a part of Roosevelt's post-World War II strategy and sometimes these criticisms are going to speak for themselves simply because they do map onto legitimate moral issues.

After WWII the United States imported many Nazi functionaries to serve as the founders of institutions such as NATO[1], scientists, etc. During the war, American businessmen profited heavily from doing business with the Nazi regime. Of course we weren’t alone in this.

Ending the Holocaust (too late) was obviously moral. But very little of what was done after was in interest of global democracy or the greater good, just as our entry into the war was not really about those things either. There were many in the global Jewish community and even in FDR’s own administration who were ringing the alarm bells long before we entered the war to do something, anything to help get Jews out of Europe to safety, who were denied and obstructed. Ultimately we only entered the war when it served our own best interests.

The focus on WWII is also interesting because it is one of the only times in the last century that the U.S. could have been said to fight a just war. What about all the rest?

I agree with that, and that is most likely what will happen.

But my point is I would be very shocked if base model iPhones, lower specced Pro models, and the 16e would see a price increase beyond 15%.

At the higher tier (Pro Max, and maybe even Pro) absolutely, as those were already out of the price range of the average consumer.

Nasza Klasa (literally "our class", as in school) was crazy incompetent though. They had all social groups there - young and older kids, young adults, adults, even some elderly people - and they somehow randomly decided to focus purely on school kids, alienating everyone else. And since they were so bad at it, it became a meme, was not cool anymore and everyone left to facebook.

It's really a shame, I think it could thrive regionally until today . Big tech doesn't always win - for example also in Poland AWS tried and failed to win the market several times, because there's an existing platform that everyone uses already.

Well, Wix isn't really file-based (to the user's eye). They're probably just a bunch of entries in a database. It's more that Wix doesn't offer any sort of easy export to a standard format.

Editing in Wix is kinda like Dreamweaver was in the old days, a bunch of WYSIWYG widgets and building blocks you drag around on a virtual canvas.

If they wanted to, they could probably offer a static HTML export of the rendered pages, but as far as I know, they don't.
These are great ideas. It'd be fun to make virtual pets that only lived / grew through GitHub actions and then were updated in the project readme
But for this specific case, would it have been any different a year ago?

She was working in the US without a work visa. The US should have caught this before she came in here but didn't. Canada however raised an eyebrow at the arrangement and turned her away, while also informing the US officers as to why. They then realized she was doing the same thing in the US and so documented it and detained her for illegally working in the US.

What else could the response to the situation have been here? Because saying "oh it was all just a mistake, I didn't realize I got the wrong visa" is like saying "oh it was all just a mistake, I thought that sign said speed limit 80 MPH, not speed limit 30 MPH".
Famously subjective.

This isn't a serious argument. You want the Jews to have self determination if and only if they can conjure into existence a magical fairy land free of compromise or can will into existence powers like militarily defeating the Nazis despite lacking even a basic police force.

That's one thing, annoying but possible to work with.

What I'm talking about is Dynamic Pricing. Had to look up what really happens: The host sets a rate-range, and Airbnb first gives the low price and then as you click around in the area they notice you're more interested so they increase it towards the high end of the price range (possibly also time of day and such signals?). Then I guess there's a slow cooldown.

Like how a good haggle is made to give you a friendly relationship with the seller, this seems specifically designed to make people hate Airbnb and swear to never use it again.

Recently I've encountered a growing, serious group of people
(particularly in smaller business) who are seeking out, restoring and
using pre-2000 hardware for security reasons. Of course it starts as
a joke; "Oh I wish I just had a 1980s computer not connected to the
internet - those never had security problems". Now the penny has
dropped for smart people who are not just saying "Oh it was more
secure in the 1990s", but a practical, airgapped machine for working
in text only and transferring files by RS232 using gopher or whatever
makes a lot of sense. Many are instant on, are built well and have
great keyboards. Good choices are BBC/Acorn, Atari, Amiga etc. Some
of it is nostalgia, Some of it is driven by practical concerns.
Watt*day is weird, but at least unit of energy. Watts a day is not.

Really common mistake in general to use kWh as a kW. Watthour is unit of energy. As watt is energy by time period. So you get back to units of energy.

Technically watt/day could be change in power consumption.
Warn people coming to the US on a tourist visa not to work while they are here. Sure, people do it and people get away with it; but, if you get caught -- especially now -- you're going to run into trouble.

“… a large number of people identify with Trump.”

That’s so true, and I think it undermines reasonable conversations about his actions. Like talking to someone about why they’re rooting for the bad guy in a movie.
The US game industry is horrified by this. As the largest market for games, reduced purchases in the US affect everyone who works in the business -- one that is already the poster child for layoffs.

Anything that punishes the games business in the US can only hurt the US more than other countries. It would be ideal to build game consoles here and we could and should. We invented all the fundamental technologies behind computer hardware, software, and video games. There must be a way to attract that business back here with a carrot rather than a stick.
Rust, Go, and Swift were all coming up around the same time. Rust looked ugly, Go underwhelmed me, and Swift aeemed like the best “language” at the time, with many opinions that aligned with my own.

Having now spent time in all three, swift feels the most ergonomic and has features that make me feel productive. I still feel like there isn’t much “there” in Go, and rust makes me feel like I’m solving for the compiler rather than working on whatever problem I was needing to work on.

Edit to add: SwiftUI, however, is a mess that I loathe. I may be in the minority of enjoying the IoC choices in Interface Builder and AppKit.
Yes, I think America’s addiction to disposable Chinese consumer products is a bad thing and it’s good for those things to be more expensive.

I don’t know why you think “Chinese made products will become more expensive” is a dunk. Yeah, that’s the point. That was common knowledge when this stuff was being debated in the 1990s. The working class opposed free trade back then, fully understanding that the pitch for free trade was cheaper foreign made goods.
Jumping spiders make great pets. The ones I've kept build silk tubes in the upper corners of their terrariums to hide and sleep in, meaning I could see them most of the time. They actively hunt, which is fun to watch. And even the common phidippus audax has bright coloring. They only live a year or two, but it's cool to watch them grow.

Beyond the facts in this article, jumping spiders have also shown spatial reasoning. When they see prey on another leaf behind their jumping range, they'll climb down and find a path to the prey's leaf, even if the prey isn't visible during this detour. They remember it's relative location and seemingly "choose" the best route to get there.

Edit: You can also "hand feed" your jumping spider with a cotton swab dipped in sugar water. They drink flower nectar in the wild, so my wife and I tried this and it worked!

Got it, so you only specifically object to the Jews settling in their ancestral homeland which they immigrated to legally and was 98% less populated than today, because the Nazi-aligned mufti of Jerusalem objected to their presence.

Care to suggest a superior choice of venue for Jewish sovereignty where the Jews had a better claim to the land, and the locals were prepared to welcome their national project?

> But the study raises lots of questions: is it possible to boost these herbivores’ populations across the whole northern latitudes? If so, why do we need mammoths at all—why not just use species that already exist, which would surely be cheaper?

Many videos from https://pleistocenepark.org/ explain, that at the start they are removing large trees with bulldozer, something that mammoths could do and other herbivores do not do effectively.

Sadly this kind of inattention to detail and shallow arguments are typical to people who hold views similar to this article.

The authors complains that Colossal doesn't genetically engineer trees, but if someone was to develop trees that could grow floating in open sea, they were going to complain how this unnatural tree are bad and will change the ocean ecosystem.

Mammoth de-extinction is indeed bad conservation, because it is much better than merely conservation, it is restoration, and reengineering of empty lands into something much more useful for us, and for other animals.
But sometimes the impact has to be pretty bad and by pretty I mean ugly

Advances and Challenges in Foundation Agents
This is all very fuzzy. Are you saying that China and India, which have big domestic markets but are historically very protectionist, are suddenly going to reverse course, open up their domestic markets, and make their domestic companies compete with international firms? Because if you understand the domestic political situation in those countries you will know that this absolutely is not going to happen.

The thing a lot of these criticisms of the tariffs always come back to is "everyone's now going to hate the US and sell to someone else instead." But this analysis ignores the fact that the US before April 2 was radically less protective of its domestic markets than pretty much all the other major economic powers. This is a discussion I was having with people long before Trump was elected and you can always tell who has actually looked at the trade relationships of these major economies over the years and who hasn't. China for example is notorious for essentially doing what Trump is doing now, whenever it becomes a political hot button internally, they just cut off trade with some country or other. Every country is shopping around for new trade partners all the time, regardless of what the latest POTUS is up to, and there just is no magic untapped market that's going to materialize and fill the gap.

A lot of countries are simply going to lose their #1 or #2 export market with no replacement if they don't deal. Sure we can make an argument that given 20 years something magic will happen and BRICS will all become free market liberals and sing kumbaya to each other. But this year, countries will deal.
Well, is the world more beautiful with mammoths, or without?

They do have lovely strawberry blonde hair.
I’m not saying 100% of women are into it, just that 100% of the partners I’ve selected have been into it. I choose partners that are positive and open about sex so your experiences may be vastly different. I’ve never met someone on a ‘kink’ website, just your regular methods of finding a partner.
Do you have a reference for this paper?
Hate to burst anyone's bubble but trains in its current form aren't solution to mass transit. They help, sure, under certain circumstances, but are very costly to run and in peak you need huge amount of them. 1 disruption and everything stops, you can't just take an exit and go through villages.

Case point Switzerland, the train country of this world. Efficiency, cleanness, reach, small country. Yet its prohibitively expensive here and highways are chock full of commuters just like anywhere else. For weekend trip ie to mountains they (+ post buses where trains don't go) are very restrictive which is understandable, but car becomes a must anyway.

And when all of it leaks in waterways and various lands that people and animals use? Letting corporations like Dupont poison people again isn't a good thing.

I actually really don't like moving configuration out to a config file unless it actually is necessary. I also don't like feature flags except where actually necessary.

Yes this gives you more power to change things with config instead of code, but it means that from now on you have to treat those values as abstract quantities rather than as something you can actually reason about.

Prefer to put configuration near where it is used. Prefer to put utility functions near where they are used. A single page of code is your "cache" and accessing information in the same page is way faster than having to look elsewhere, and that's even if you already know where to look.

Obviously you need to make exceptions for things that genuinely need to be configured elsewhere, but if it doesn't need to be configured elsewhere, please just configure it right by where you use it. It makes debugging and understanding the code a lot easier.

Option 1:

sub truncate {
my ($self, $str, %opts) = @_;
my $max_length = $opts{max_length} // $self->max_length // get_optional_config('max_length') // 15;
return substr($str, 0, $max_length);
}

Option 2:

sub truncate {
my ($self, $str) = @_;
my $max_length = 15;
return substr($str, 0, $max_length);
}

In option 1 you have 3 different places to specify max_length (and you just know that $self->max_length is going to look in more than one place as well...). Trying to divine the actual behaviour of truncate() from this code is very difficult, and it gets worse for functions that do more complicated things and are configured by multiple interacting parameters.

In option 2 you know it truncates at 15 characters, no exceptions.
> Is that why Israel got 17% tariffs but Iran has 10%?

Wouldn't tariffs being based off of the trade deficit explain exactly this? Also maybe this is not the best example since doesn't the US already impose sanctions on Iran?

The two have nothing to do with each other.

We've got plenty of money to do both.

The issues with homebuilding are entirely to do with regulation, zoning, etc. Developers will build homes if they're allowed to. Banks will give them the loans (homes don't require government money). The problem is them not being allowed to. Because you're not allowed to build multi-family homes in a neighborhood, you're not allowed to build tall apartment buildings, approvals take forever, etc.

1. As much as I dislike the thought of law mandated overzealous moderation, you're probably right.

On the other hand, if doing this will let us avoid another genocide [1] maybe it's worth it.

2. We're concerned about privacy, but ad supported businesses are as popular as everywhere else (just regulated a bit more strictly). There's probably more fear of processing too much personal data and being sued, but it's good in my opinion as a customer.

3. Also true. But, assuming you're American, isn't the selection of Europeans your know biased? Anecdotally, most of the interesting Europeans I know are not American :).

Just what I've been waiting for! Now about that JVM support for Swift...?
While I agree with the sentiment --that couple's methods leave something to be desired.

The article makes it sound like they took a motor boat into a wilderness preserve? Motor vehicles are explicitly not allowed in those areas.

Also excluding dirt roads is a pretty bad criteria. A lot of GIS marked 'dirt roads' are natural animal trails or washes that have been around for hundreds/thousands of years.
