This comes across as pretty judgemental and ironically given it's "let me open your eyes" tone, misses the point entirely.

The money isn't wasted, it has accomplished it's twin goals; proving that the wearer is part of the group which knows about and can afford Gucci, and having an enjoyable shopping experience. The fact that you appear to not care about signals of social standing (or rather, of standing in that group; assiduously avoiding logos is it's own signal) doesn't make them any less real.

Did you gloss over the part where GP points out they are fully aware of, and even enjoy and seek out, the experience of shopping there? Why do you say it's a waste then?

No to your second question; that being the case, your first question has no meaning.

We don't score intelligence with cardinal numbers, which would be required for "twice as intelligent" to make sense as a concept.

> with goals and with social behaviour that isn't very common in regular people, not to mention engineers.

You think using brands to signal status isn't normal? You might consider counting cars with no badges, or going to a coffee shop and counting the literally glowing logos. As for engineers, have you never seen a sticker-bombed laptop? Never had colleagues who wear the conference shirt or carry the conference bag? What about collegiate hoodies?

It's not a judgement on you if you truly don't care about brands or status signaling in any arena, but surely you recognize it's the rule not the exception.

Since anyone can trade dollars for Euros for other currencies for gold any time they like, it makes no sense for the US to care what someone sells oil for. It's as silly as claiming the US would invade someone for using metric. If you want to buy something outside the US, you generally can't use dollars, and obviously the US doesn't try to prevent that, nor could it.

The companies I have experience with had huge monorepo. It's not unimaginable that everyone inside the company has access to some important code, what usually they don't have access to is customers' data which has few more checkpoints. They mostly considered the code commodity, you could take it and still couldn't compete with them. In fact, this is one of the core reasons, some companies are hesitant in going all remote. No one wants their questionable code to be leaked.

Isn't the error here assuming that the IP invented by the private entity is automatically a public good?

To me a public park is not equal to IP invented with private funds.
A static site generator is just a build tool. You need some way to say what your output files are, and what source files are needed to create them. This is usually hardcoded (with some parameters and ad-hoc hooks) in something like Jekyll, but could be specified with Make. I wrote a very simple timestamp checker in a couple of dozen lines of Python.

Then your scss/less->css is probably best done with the command line compiler, driven from your build tool.

And for HTML, take a template language you enjoy and write a simple driver script. If you want multiple templates, add metadata to your source files. In my case I want Markdown->HTML, using various templates, so I use YAML for the metadata, then Python's markdown compiler, and finally Jinja2 for templating. Again you can write the driver in a few dozen lines for your own purpose.

My build tools then calls The AWS API to send it to its S3 bucket, in most cases. But in one it commits to a github pages branch and pushes.

It is exceptionally simple to code your own static site generator, if you can do basic command line scripting. And doing it that way allows you to be very flexible and add things like uploading, version control, etc.

I think it's better off seen as a command line tool, than a special 'static blog generator' task. In general I think we are erring too far on the 'build a niche vertical app' rather than 'automate powerful general-purpose tools'.

There can't be a significant net decrease in number of households unless housing is sitting empty. There could be a net decrease in population if the people arriving are younger than the people leaving, and don't have kids yet. But that doesn't seem a sign of decline.

Similarly, there could well be a shortage of U-Haul trucks if the people arriving are young ones with no more than a car full of possessions, and the people leaving are older ones who've accumulated lots of stuff. But that doesn't seem a sign of decline either.

You are right in that the ability to be beyond the thoughtstream is only the beginning.

You probably know all this, but I think with further inquiry and experience it is inevitable to come to the conclusion that there is no free will, it's just atoms dancing and vibrating and from that an elaborate interconnected mechanism rises. With no free will there is no doer or you as a person, it is simply the universe unfolding and these bodies are only 'pawns' reacting to stimuli or whatever variables these human biocomputers work on.

Us humans have the capacity for pretty advanced heuristics and we can become aware of the underlying mechanisms and the subconcsious, and through that awareness manipulate the system but that still forgoes any doers. I guess you could say they're revelations and be grateful you stumbled on them in this life.

If we really have a problem with too many resources being used, then we "simply" need to decide what is acceptable and tax energy accordingly.

Making assumptions about what people are entitled to, or what standard of living is possible would be a big mistake because it could lead to far worse outcomes than simply forcing the market to provide the solution.
Brand image matters a ton to both companies because they are fueled on user trust. Uber asks you to get into a car with someone you’ve never met. Google asks you to trust them with your entire digital footprint. If people have an “icky” image of them it will yield severe financial damage.
The point is that a true meritocracy would end up being like the situation you are talking about. In a perfectly meritocratic world, the first generation of people would succeed based on their merit, but they would use the power they gained to make sure their children have an advantage over others.

Deliverability.
That first point is one of the main thrusts of The Rise of the Meritocracy.

A true meritocracy is unlikely because of the advantages that the entrenched higher classes pass on to their descendents.

In part this can be higher ability due to better education.

However, another feature is by shaping the attitudes of a society to favour particular forms of achievement over others.

The only way to achieve a "pure" meritocracy as you describe it, would be to separate children from their parents before age 1, raise them all collectively, and instigate a 100% inheritance tax.
The problem is that alternative systems still reward destruction, deception, etc., but do not reward the good things.
Apple intern reportedly leaked iPhone source code
1k lines does not stress many editors. It only stresses emacs when the major mode is doing lots of stuff to highlight and format.

I regularly used other editors on C files with 30k+ lines, 15 years ago when machines were slower.

Emacs' real weakness is an over-reliance on regexes for highlighting and poor integration with sources of semantic and symbolic information for richer highlighting, editing and browsing. That, and synchronous operations for the same.

Before throwing around accusations like this, you might want to consider the evidence. For instance, how often has an FDA-approved drug been pulled because it was dangerous in unknown ways vs drugs which haven't been through the FDA? Conversely, how many home cures have been shown to be useless or even actively harmful?

I find it interesting that you are citing the study on homeopathy in such a gerrymandered way; first, it's not $2.5 billion just on yoga and meditation by any reasonable interpretation. Second, the major conclusion of the study is that virtually no holistic/homeopathic remedies have any health value above the placebo effect. Thirdly yoga and meditation haven't been found to be beneficial, they rather have not had conclusive results either way.
I really don't think you understand what basic income is.

Basic income is that everyone is guaranteed not $10k/yr, which is a measly pittance that just entrenches poverty, but a living salary, enough that nobody has to work.

It also certainly does NOT involve getting rid of existing programs like public healthcare, public education, public transport, etc.

Literally the only point of basic income is to prevent the perverse disincentive that losing access to welfare upon finding work gives.

And that exactly is the problem with interviews where we can't measure what we should really measuring, so despite these marathons and what not, ending up with misfits. I can't explain it better than below: source [0]:

Your scenarios are different, the normal scenario inside a company is:
a) Your boss tells the new problem to the team at Monday morning.
b) You have your first approach in your mind to the problem.
c) The team discuss the problem for 50 minutes. You still don't have a clear idea about the problem and for sure you don't have any idea about how to solve it. But who cares? Is pancake day !
d) Lunch, you think about the problem by your own, for first time in a "serious" way.
e) One day later you write an email to clear some doubts about the problem.
f) You talk with another member of the team. He notices some potential problems with your approach but also you realize that, after all, your approach is better than his. You walk in the supermarket alley with your wife thinking about how to explain why your approach is better using a metaphor and trying to foresee objections from other team members.
g) Thursday you finish those TDD pending upgrades, do the pull request and then you think an hour about the problem meanwhile you are still in the "zone". You have those beautiful "I got it! " moments.
h) Friday you "play" with some library that you find googling and you read some code from github from a guy who did something similar. You then notice that there is a part or a step that you didn't consider before, that could change your design to solve the problem in a deep or shallow way.
i) After redditing for an hour, yo do a minimal code that solve the functionality. At this time the problem has been processed in your mind for a week from different angles and using different tools.
j) Monday at lunch time you take the marker and you write in the whiteboard trying to explain to the team your solution. The team decides to follow your approach.
The other scenario is:
a) The interviewer tells you an isolated and descontextualized problem. b) Ten seconds later you have a marker in your hand in front of a empty whiteboard.
My problem is: how the real cognitive process can be replicated in an interview? Notice that in the real scenario is not the most smart developer but the best "architect" who gets the best solution after many trails and error experiments and dead-ends paths.
Of course companies must have a selection process, but the whiteboard kind is just producing a lot of false negatives.

Never mind the wake word; a noise gate (which is a trivial computation locally in either hardware[1] or software) means we are not talking about [every second of every day]. I'm sure Amazon/whomever can do better than a simple noise gate, too.

Using GSM-HR which records voice at 5.6 kbit/s (a bit over 700 bytes/s).

5.6 * 60 * 60 / 1024 / 8 = 2.4609375 MB/hr

Assuming a gate that only records 1% of the time, this is

2.4609375 * 0.01 = 0.024609375 MB/hr
= 25.2 kB/hr
= 604.8 kB/day

604.8 * 365.25 / 1024 = 215.72578125 MB/year

Assuming 40M devices[2], storing all the voice said around these devices for a year is only ~8 PB (8229.28 TB). Renting the necessary storage from Amazon AWS, from a brief look at their current prices[3] costs at most $200,000/month ("standard storage").

Yes, the storage costs add up over time, but the amount of data needed to record all the voice said around every Alexa in the world is trivially within Amazon's storage capability.

It also certainly does NOT involve getting rid of existing programs like public healthcare, public education, public transport, etc.

That's one of those many definitions of basic income.

It's not a wrong definition, but if you want to keep safety nets, add healthcare, and add basic income, you're looking at an absolutely massive budget. Would the libertarian proponents of basic income be for that? Not sure. But again, the question is: how do you do that?
That's literally exactly what they're offering. This is directly competing with FedEx/UPS.

Except for dedicated online outlets delivered by the luxury brand itself, which luxury brands are no doubt loathe to do (e.g. why cannibalize my own stores, when no other company distributes my brand anyway), I doubt people would ever buy specific high-end brands they covet online without some serious guarantees of authenticity. But again as a high end exclusive brand, why do I want to make it easier to buy my exclusive goods online?

You say that, but Noise and Signal-CLI work just fine. Not that either actually keeps current with features, which is mainly why Moxie has stated he doesn't like people using unmaintained forks of Signal on OWS's servers.
Ceph is a very finicky beast and I'd advise anyone to stay away unless you're wiling to dedicate significant resources to master it. I've seen more than one Ceph system gone belly up during my days at IBM. IBM is throwing significant resources at it have people and procedures developed to tackle the usual and less usual operations... and it still caused headaches.

It will make you hate your job whether there's some kind of networking problem (configuration, bad NIC or just plain ol' Softlayer dropping packets while support claiming no problems), some kind of HW problem (one bad OSD node in semi failed state will pretty much kill cluster throughput) or just some bad disks causing it to rebalance in the middle of high I/O time. It always made me nervous even with the most basic 'let's swap the failed OSD' operations. The blog post itself is a classic showcase of putting all eggs in one basket. They'd be better off with a simpler setup. Btw running only 1 monitor node will make you cry when the single monitor decides to take a break which will happen sooner or later.
> Uber value is based on adopting SDC.

Not sure what you were trying to say?
Would you like to say the same thing in a different way one more time?
Additionally, you end up with crap like Noise (a Signal fork that uses the main servers) where features inconsistently work or are available and the devs of Noise don't actually pull down new code very often, resulting in a two tiered network that has many unreliably working features.

Hence why Moxie doesn't think federation is practical with an evolving communications protocol.
This is really interesting. I wish more people were focused on this as opposed to basic income. It mentions Christian Democrats being proponents of it, is there a major modern political figure you can point to?
