Incidentally I suspect this is the main reason the center are suddenly infatuated with Newsom,.
I’m sorry but every time he speaks all I see and hear is our 2028 nominee.

DWRHelper fixes this.
prediction: sync engines blow up everybody's infra budgets and make users mad because nobody knows what's syncing and where and when and how and with whom and every sync they just start syncing everything on every page load because their application crashed or went offline in the.

And in another six months this take will seem equally mistaken.
Six months ago, I would have dismissed Gavin Newsom’s presidential odds but he’s done a great job of moving to the center a bit on culture while building up a rep as a ~FIGHTER WHO STICKS IT TO TRUMP~. Third leg of the stool is housing, he should come out swinging for SB79.

I’m not against school smartphones bans btw. But doing so pushes dealing with the problems smartphones cause down onto underfunded schools as well as individuals. Plus introduces another layer of policing and source of friction. The problem merits legislation, regulation.

Quality of response separates moral panic from constructive social action. As with drugs, there’s a real problem that needs to be addressed, but it’s being addressed in a way that will probably not be very effective and inspires backlash.
Anti-phone and anti-screen sentiment, especially for kids, is pretty much just a textbook case of a moral panic but unlike literally every single moral panic since the Women's Christian Temperance Union it's just correct.

Superior virtue of the oppressed—Bertrand Russell.
I have been poor, middle class and wealthy at various times in my life. I've been an entrepreneur, I have successfully exited, I have met many wealthy people along the way, and I'm telling you, I would not wish the suffering that afflicts the rich on my worst enemies. You may.

Aversion to “category theory” is like how Republicans feel about blue cities—at best over exaggerated if not outright fear mongering.

IMO the time for a direct style in Scala was like 2014 when async APIs where coming into vogue. That could have given Scala a competitive edge vs mainstream languages. But at this point, unless we are talking about low friction effect handlers, I’m not sure you gain much.

Ofc institutions can and should be allowed to fire/expel people for violations (including speech) happening outside—eg a criminal conviction. But what @tracewoodgrains seems to be calling for is a universal embargo rather than leaving up to each institution to have policies.

One can always inject cynical subtext, but an innocent interpretation is also perfectly possible here. And even if proven guilty, what is the takeaway? How would you begin to police this type of thing other than case by case in context?.

If @tracewoodgrains is merely saying the scientists in question committed fraud by claiming an opinion was backed by science/data when it isn’t then he should show some receipts. The screenshot does not make any such claim; is transparently a judgement call wrt tradeoffs.

If one’s understanding of “institutional rot” is those belonging to various institutions shouldn’t be allowed to publicly express political opinions then I don’t see how modern society can possibly function, particularly democratic states. Apply this principle to politicians!.
@PJ11819211 I'm assigning bad faith to both while beating the same drum of the institutional crisis I've been beating for a long while. The crisis was here before Trump and will be here after, and I'm not going to equivocate on it to soothe you.
