There are several reasons for that.

First, employee don't want less money and fake it. Employers want the employee to be on site because they paid for it.

Second, society praises people for working. You will look better if say you are busy.

Third, our systems would collapse if people were actually paid to their real value. You would see the total unfairness of it, and also how truly brilliant or useless people are.

Fourth, laws, syndicates, medias and logistics come in the way. And with a big inertia.

Fifth, humans are not rational and don't do "the right thing" according to the intellectual or displayed objectives. And they have all their own agenda.
I didn't fight club, but I'd guess it was due to the confusion between simplicity and performance.

Simplicity is more to do with following a consistent mental model and not mixing levels of abstraction.
You don’t need to replace everything. You can fix things. It’s probably billions still, but I still say the money should be spent. Even if it’s hundreds of billions over the new couple decades, spend the money, fix the subways. Start with essentials. Then continue maintenance while doing simultaneous improvements.

Let’s be clear, if you don’t spend money you definitely can’t fix the problem. Will only money fix it ? No, but if you need to change management, change expectations, change schedules, do that. All that will cost money as will buying new cars and new signal systems and hiring crews to install the signal systems. What’s needed to fix the system is a lot of changes and they will all cost money. But the reason the changes haven’t happened is due to money. Boston’s system has certainly suffered from lack of money. Sure they have billions, but it isn’t enough.

If you don’t have enough maintenance people to do the work, that is still a money problem. If you pay more for that job, more people will want to do that job, and then you can hire people to staff the positions correctly. It might take a few years for the next generation to come into the workforce, but I believe it can be done.
"Economically, you can think of a startup as a way to compress your whole working life into a few years. Instead of working at a low intensity for forty years, you work as hard as you possibly can for four. This pays especially well in technology, where you earn a premium for working fast." —Paul Graham
This has generally been the standard argument since Keynes (and others) first turned out to be spectacularly wrong. We just consume more. But, I see this argument differently these days.

In tech stuff, we definitely have more stuff. A phone+plan for every person over 13. Laptops for most people. But, you can't function without these. It's not really a discretionary spending. A student (for example) is at a disadvantage without those things. In fact, the student is also consuming more education then in Keynes' day. That's also a competitive consumption, that you must buy in order to participate in the job market to a greater extent then before. Housing in a lot of urban or semi-urban areas is also competitive. Median house prices in these cities is a multiple of median salary, and prices don't scale well below the median.

So... I think the statement is true in an almost tautological sense. But, very little is discretionary spending. Most of it is competitive and in a competition the median person is still the median person.

The reason I am not even remotely considering React is the Facebook itself and what this company represents - exploiting people's minds and emotions to fulfill their business plan. I can't help it but if I would use react, I would not be able to get this feeling out of my mind, so if there is viable alternative - vue.js, I am definitely going that way.

Something similar like using cosmetics that have been tested on animals, if I can choose, I choose something else.

I know this should be more of a technical discussion, just I can't help but think of this aspect when it comes to React.

The recommendations don’t work for me. The media selection by Netflix is not for me yet. Ultimately, I want a service that recommends me only three possibilities, and at least one is a total hit.
It's also worth noting that 2 of the Fed's main goals are

1. Achieve maximum employment

2. Maintain stable prices

Both of which are counter productive to the goals of automation.

This seems like the root of the problem to me, as the Fed is a "super admin" of the economy.
I mean, Steve Blank's definition is equally valid.

https://steveblank.com/2010/01/25/whats-a-startup-first-prin...

"A startup is an organization formed to search for a repeatable and scalable business model."

Maybe you see "scalable" and think "to a billion users". I see "scalable" and think "sustainable over the long term".

I think a small business is when you know the business model can work and have moved on to long-term execution. Until then you are a startup.

Whats wrong with the information?
Here is an economist article on the subject:

https://www.economist.com/news/international/21719790-going-...
I've noticed a disconnect between people we bring on the team that have a heavy oop style or do brilliant things in low level code but they lack writing code for teams fresh out of college. I remember writing magic code that did convenient abstractions for me in the background when I programmed for myself but I quickly learned this sucks when I found out someone provided me with a function that doesn't follow single responsibility in a team environment. When you work in a team write for a team, I tell everyone to write for a imaginary jr developer starting the next day who's going to read your code on day one.
Population increased also. And consumerism. And debt. And a lot of laws have been added.

But last year, 2 of my friends fire their 5 employees and started again, them alone. They made the calculation: there productivity ratio was better with only them 2, than with the 5 part time workers they had that they were paying full time + benefits. And their team was "good" in my book. Most teams I meet are not, and I travel from companies to companies all the time.
While some of these may be good tips, they don't exactly sound effortless.

Also does refocusing your eyes actually make you look engaged? Sometimes people I talk to appear to be doing that and it comes off a bit shady.

You're right that blight and economic stagnation led to the crime wave of the 80s.

But careless destructive regulation that harms the city's economy is the fastest way to get straight back there.
As far as I can see it's back, also with the entire history intact.
It's good for everyone -- if you are an ISP with 35%+ of your traffic coming from Netflix, you might be begging for these boxes in your network.
> If housing costs went way down and health insurance were universal, I suspect many people would feel much less need to work so many hours.

Housing costs are directly related to the area per person and the location. If people expect to live in much larger flats or houses compared to e.g. the 19th century and in expensive urban areas, they will have to pay the price.
Can't wait for this. I've been using nightlies to get the new subtitle renderer and have been very happy (aside from unrelated minor playback regressions).
Simplicity definitely has something to do with fewer instructions. To get there, you use the right level of abstraction in which to express those instructions.

Sorry about that. I don't have Windows myself and maintaining a sizable C utility in both *nix and Windows is tricky.

I think it has to do with HEVC h.265 codec & HW acceleration support available to the browser in the respective platforms.

https://caniuse.com/#feat=hevc

Not sure why Chrome doesn't support HW for it though albeit Chrome OS. My Celeron N3060 Chromebook can decode it.

I read Netflix has started using VP9 for streaming, newer CPU's have VP9 decoders in them.
Because the losses from the fraud (that's bound to happen) are less than the cost incurred by having separate inventories.

Also: you want to buy things with USD (or invest/lend) because USD kept under a mattress will deteriorate. While Bitcoin by structure is supposed to never deteriorate, just increase in value.

Everyone else's saying this: the value of Bitcoin is either zero or infinity[]. This was clear way from the beginning, and while I regret not cashing in on the bubble before.

[] This assuming the normal continuation of capitalism and the global concert of nations where there is openness to commerce and multiple fiat currencies. Of course, in Mencius Moldbug's dream (who first called for something like bitcoin in '08) where strong authoritarian government prevents other currencies from hanging on... it's an utopia. We might as well trade in time credits.

The article mentions getting someone to like you unnaturally fast to divulge information.

This happened to me once. I was a character reference for a friend who needed security clearance for a position in the UK, and they sent a a guy to come and interview me. About 45 minutes later I came out of the room and quickly realised I'd been mined for information (all good, luckily for my friend). While it was happening it felt like we were having just a nice chat. Afterwards I was totally exhausted. A very strange experience.

Simple Cyber Security Tips (for Your Parents)
That’s a cute theory, but housing costs are much more related to the cost of money. When the federal reserve makes money cheap, asset prices increase. Since mortgage rates are at historic lows, people simply borrow as much as possible until their monthly payment is at some threshold. If you want housing prices to return to historic norms, you need to ask the Fed to first return the cost of money to normal.
Pretty sure you need fresh water rather than salt water for that. And desalination is an energy-expensive process.
I had to go in to a physical branch to show ID to open an account, to get a mortgage, and for a yearly service review with the manager.

These days a branch is also just a large secure space for machines to get money out and put it in.
You're definitely correct. This project is still in its early stages so no one is really using it yet, so its easy in the sense that I just have to change the hashing algorithm. No need to worry about backwards compatibility.

Agreed and disagreed. Netflix or YouTube prowess is indeed only because they have to push their agenda. Torrents solved that problem already. But torrents indeed did not solve the problem of paying to creators. I am looking forward to new decentralized solutions using Blockchain.
They have a HUGE bias, I doubt anything coming out of them is the actual truth.

There are around 500,000 minke whales (the type they hunt) in the Antarctic, Japanese whaling kills approximately 300 whales per year.

A while back I read Never Eat Alone [0], and found it to be fruitful for framing casual social interactions.

Additionally, most other people do not look forward to "mindless smalltalk with strangers". Since it's possible that everyone in the group shares equal anxiety about being there, you can provide a gift to them by asking pointed questions. If it's easy for them to answer, and gives something interesting for everyone else to listen to, it's actually a lot of pressure off the whole group.

The go-to question I use is:

what's the best book you've read in the last year or so? Why?

Note: This works for me because I am a voracious reader, and am always on the hunt for more good books, so if they can make a good book recommendation, I benefit. YMMV.

Since not everyone reads, that question can be amended to "best movie/tv show/documentary".

I'm often the new guy in certain work situations, and that question has saved me a lot of discomfort.

good luck!

Being bootstrapped doesn't mean you can fall asleep. You still have to fight for your customers, however VC investment is usually not what will help you in the fight. It is even common for startups to fail because of the funding, when they try to reach the goals which are not realistic, just to provide returns for the investors.
Modeling of fish population dynamics is way more complicated than this. Increasing food availability can decrease population, for example.

One tip mentioned is to raise your eyebrows. As example: when you first meet someone, raise your eyebrows slightly (or one), smile, and tilt your head and greet them. Making someone else feel special makes you charming.

Along the same lines: I find that voice cadences, and inflection, work pretty well for being charming! Take time to enuncicate the whole sentence you want to say, throw emotion into your words. And if you happen to do the eyebrow trick at the same time - it's charm overload.

Your $10k MRR niche won't be "app that lets people hail taxis, and network of contract drivers." It'll be "reception table plan designer for wedding coordinators".

There are tens of thousands of niches like this that will pay for teams of 1-3 people to live on the beach after a few years of work.

You're right. Apparently "dumping" is the wrong term here. It's a subset of "predatory pricing"[1], which is regulated and which Uber is arguably engaging in:

Pricing below your own costs is also not a violation of the law unless it is part of a strategy to eliminate competitors, and when that strategy has a dangerous probability of creating a monopoly for the discounting firm so that it can raise prices far into the future and recoup its losses.

I’ve been using Audible during for years, and I love it. I don’t have time to sit and read for long periods, so audiobooks have definitely helped optimize my time.

During monotonous tasks, such as cooking breakfast, vacuuming, or driving on a long highway (when I lived in the US) I could easily finish a book a month. And generally those were 20-40 hour historical or classic books, not the short novels.
Interesting info. I remember reading parts of this, but not about the multiple languages (from your previous comment) and other stuff, like extending the language itself. Thanks.

The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society is a private organization [1].

> Violence is sometimes necessary

Per the article, Japan reduced its Southern Ocean whaling in response to the International Court of Justice, not the Sea Shepherd.

Protesting in an international forum is fundamentally different from protesting domestically. There is no coërcive third party to enforce the rules. You have to convince the people you're protesting to want to change. Contrast the culture at the UN to e.g. a regulatory agency.

Most Japanese don't eat whale [2]. Whaling has become a symbol of national sovereignty and pride. Foreign vessels ramming your ships stokes national pride. The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society may have eliminated a diplomatic solution to whaling for a generation or two.

Nonsense. These types of problems have been “illuminating” researchers for the last 5 decades. These are real shortcomings and will not be solved for another 5 decades or more. It’s unbeliebable how much in denial the AI folks are in.
Somehow I expected a story about crypto mining.
Yeah, IE and Edge are the only browsers with PlayReady DRM. Rest of them (besides Apple devices) are using Widevine DRM.
Because the timeframe of the system's feedback loop is too long. By the time the landlord reacts and accepts a lower price point, the customers might have had to move on to a different location, or the business operators too.

The whole reason we even have cycles of growth and contraction is because feedback loops are too slow so we always react too slowly, and when we do we over correct. But that might be an unsolvable problem and just a fact of nature.
Yeah, I'd been using the Chromecast support in the earlier 3.0 betas. Seemed to be working just fine, although it wasn't getting the "friendly" name that I'd set for the device. So instead of "Living Room TV", I'd see a big hash-code.

Presumably, Google and Amazon have sold millions of new Homes and Alexas in recent weeks, many of which will be powering on today and hammering their networks and APIs. I'm wondering has anyone ever been part of a large scale roll out like this? How are they handling this? Are key engineers loosing their x-mas day break and coming into the office monitor and maintain the infrastructure?
Everyone has a fantastic solution to the problem they perceive but it’s more complicated than that.

Ultimately people need to drive less, either because they live close to their jobs, because they use public transit or a bike, because they work from home or any other reason.

The problem is how to get people to do that. It certainly won’t be by easing congestion because that has the opposite effect. Short term gains because moving cars pollute less but long term loss because less congestion causes more traffic.

Unfortunately I don’t think that’s possible. If I scan your encrypted disk and see that 10% of blocks are zeroed out, I can assume that your disk is 90% full. So information has been leaked, which is arguably a vulnerability.

Hard to describe the beginner experience with FPC (nice acronym) + Lazarus and Rebol. Rebol has a lot of sites showing you how to build simple GUIs fast although some things are getting old (had trouble getting the native email functionality to work). So more beginner friendly doc would help both projects a lot. Also, I think it would help pointing out that certain things like connecting to an Oracle db are easy in C#/Java, but aren't obvious to me with FPC.

Your argument rests on the notion of "length" which you don't get for free. :) You won't be able to define "length" without assuming the existence of irrational numbers.
I like mpv the most. It's simple, but still has everything you need (and you can do rest with the keyboard shortcuts), and it's pretty. In my opinion, however, the problem with Netflix player, is not its design. It's that it's pretty laggy, it is not nearly as smooth as for example YouTube player.
but this probably wouldn't feel laggy, right? because your brain is going to expect full-key-down to be the point at which text appears. especially if that point is well-expressed mechanically (eg, a click).

this would be like saying a physical kick drum or high hat is laggy, because theres a delay between when your foot starts moving and when the sound happens. (which would be silly!)
Democratisation and solving some local problems are the convincing bread and butter of the most recent progress in the AI field. Generalization efforts are nowhere near the hype and the mediatic bs yet but AI is dangerous enough already if used by malicious parties. All in all, it is a case of mediatic smoke because there is some fire already.
The thing is I don't feel like any of the match ratings in the last year and a half since I've been using Netflix have had anything to do with my interests, the ratings I've given out or with my viewing history.

Unless propagation to their database takes two years, I'm really interested in how they actually arrive at match ratings.

Only Scala and Kotlin are feasible alternatives to Java for building applications on the JVM or Android. The others in that list are limited by dynamic typing to scripting only or didn't see much adoption for building large systems, e.g. Apache Groovy for glue code and build scripts.
