The Atlantic had some pretty good articles in the past. Among others Ta-Nehisi Coates was a regular writer for them.

Except for government funding depends on political vagaries. Look at the prospects for research or social program funding over the next 3 years vs private foundations and non profits. E.g. The Gates foundation has done a lot for the development and rollout of malaria vaccines vs governments.

Honestly, sounds like it might have been better to fly to Oahu and get a MacBook. Really bad look for Apple tbh

I'm guessing here but I think a laggy stream that glitches or buffers frequently is going to have casual viewers leaving fairly quickly. People that really care are going to stick around but the casual audience is really important to keep.

How many of those options offer rock solid streaming with good experiences for even 100k simultaneous viewers? How about ~2M viewers (the size of maddow's show)? And it has to be rock solid otherwise people aren't going to stick around.

Broadcast still matters to a lot of people. Immigrants, older generations, etc. Not everyone is watching streaming shows.

Also infrastructure to handle streaming video to 100k is expensive to build from scratch. Using CDNs or sites like YouTube puts you at the mercy of large corporations.

Flying like flying squirrels. They can glide fairly far. You can find them in se Asia and see videos on YouTube

Where's the trutherism? Acknowledging that public health officials fucked up significantly in the beginning? Or that other factors affected health recommendations?(not acknowledging that covid is airborne meant that there wouldn't be pressure to do costly fixes to ventilation systems in buildings)

Surgeon general tweeted that masks were not effective at protecting the general public from catching covid. The guidance on masks did a 180 in about 2 months. It took the WHO 2 years to acknowledge that covid was airborne. Neither great for public trust. www.cnn.com/2020/02/29/h...

The initial CDC and WHO advice was not to mask up and that only the sick and those caring for the sick needed masks. Radically changing the advice was a bit of an own goal and didn't help with public confidence. share.google/hBWFw9xO4P5B...
Want to prevent another shutdown, save 33,000 lives and protect yourself? Wear a face mask, doctors say | CNN
First, health officials said we shouldn’t wear face masks. Then, they said we should. Now, many are saying we must wear masks if we want to keep the economy open and save tens of thousands of lives.

Not a compiler engineer but I think for python you'd effectively feed in several abstract syntax trees (ASTs) and then look at the ASTs that are output. Looking at bytecode would work but the tests would break if bytecode generation changes. With GCC or LLVM, you'd mostly look at the IR generated.

Oh, that must have been annoying.

How can it be too good? Like it optimizes too much and makes python too fast?

Alright, what's your brilliant idea for implementing unrealized capital gains tax without unintended side effects?
August 24, 2025 at 1:29 AM
Probably that taxing unrealized capital gains is a great way to make sure only the rich can afford homes. Most families can't afford to pay a 30k tax bill because their home went up in value by 100k. Add in the accounting nightmare ithat it would cause to track values annually.

The people that paid for it are mostly true believers and most of them still believe. There's a few class actions that started in the last year or two and several lawsuits about accidents. It's slowly catching up

Yeah being able to browse is nice. There's some local meetups where you might be about to try out some games or get a new to you game. Dm me and I can point you to some resources

Uhhh, bananas grow pretty well in Hawaii and Puerto Rico among other places. You can probably do it in southern Florida or California too.

Sure, but the there's trade and then there's trade. China has gotten a lot of trade and high end infrastructure built (e.g. advanced chip fabs, etc) that it probably wouldn't have gotten without the neo-liberal environment. India isn't an exact parallel but is sort of an alternate reality version.
