My point is that any involvement with war lead to consumer boycotts if Google.

For a company that relies so heavily direct interaction with consumers, involvement with warfare is a huge risk. And the value of the contracts hardly outweigh the risks of backlash against Google primary business.

It's the same reason drug companies work hard to avoid having their drugs used for executions. The value of the contracts is low, compared to their main business which could be threatened by such a move..

Also if you look at trends over the decades it's clear that warfare is increasingly loosing it's glory. People aren't thrilled about murder and mayhem.. sure we'll have military spending for many years to come, but it's likely to loose it's popularity, and eventually fade..

So why is Google even considering to enter this market? When it's only short term and puts Google golden egg at risk? It makes no sense to me.
Maybe people thought I was joking? I wasn't though. Sun damage to the top of your head is a serious concern in being bald. It puts the lie to the statement that the only reason being bald is bad is that people are prejudiced against it. No, it's bad in its own right. Hair is useful protection for your body and the top of your head is the part of your body that is the most exposed to the elements.
Having a 'shelf' (with stack-like behavior) like Pathfinder does is very useful, it allows you to go into a dir in one tab, grab arbitrary files, park that selection temporarily, then switch to the destination and drop them. Yes, you can copy-n-paste (finally) in Finder.app, but without any way to to see what files are on the clipboard (short of pasting), and you can do two bunches at once. Of course, for lots of other file-moving, it's easier to use the command line anyhow (like matching on patterns). Pathfinder also filters and searches in the current dir, which Finder never seems to do...

Very interesting point, I never thought about why I hate voice interfaces like that so much.

The tipping point for me was when the AT&T small business line I used to use changed to a voice interface and included fake keyboard taping sounds after each interaction. That just felt so damn insulting.

> The UI/UX of Linux has come a long way since then, but the UI/UX could be optimized further. What is wrong with it?

Only details. Inconsistent layout, spacing, fonts and icons, animations that don't help and introduce artificial weight and sluggishness. It seems like there isn't much time spend with prototyping, maybe because the prototyping tools didn't exist on Linux (now you can use Figma and others in the browser), and most devs won't switch to Macs for Linux UI design out of pride.

Transitions and stuff like that are tricky, if your UI framework can't handle non linear transitions, better ignore them completely, linearity doesn't work out and will always feel slower and of lesser quality as rendering as fast as possible, or perfectly dialed in non linearity.

Official inflation numbers are based on a basket of goods that are thought to be representative for the purpose of broad economic policy.

But it's certainly true that inflation is not the same for all goods or for the basket that is highly relevant to one person or to one firm or industry.

So like any economic policy it has winners and losers. Just because the policy may be reasonable does not mean that the winners and losers are irrelevant.

During the startup boom many developers saw their wages inflating rapidly in spite of little skill growth. Some also saw their rent increasing if they lived in the bay area.

Landlords in the bay area saw their income increasing, and firms hiring developers in the bay area saw the cost associated with wages inflate rapidly.

The mistake this article makes is that it puts all its eggs into the young vs old theme when really this is a fairly obvious consequence of a dynamic economy.

The historical view of tulip speculation has changed a lot in the last 20 years, but popular conception has not caught up.

In a nutshell, it is now believed by several researchers to have been a very narrow phenomenon with minimal impact to the national economy. Per Wikipedia

"While Mackay's account held that a wide array of society was involved in the tulip trade, Goldgar's study of archived contracts found that even at its peak the trade in tulips was conducted almost exclusively by merchants and skilled craftsmen who were wealthy, but not members of the nobility.[44] Any economic fallout from the bubble was very limited."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulip_mania#Modern_views

Taken at face value, this suggests that the tulip "bubble" was dramatically different from either the dotcom or the mortgage bubble, which had wide ranging participation and damage. One could argue that the latter two would have been impossible without the Fed.

I feel like he accomplishes this in the first section of the writing. I agree with you, my favorite part is the fictional(?) narrative in the beginning.

Getting abs is much easier than you believe. I have visible abs and I eat pizza, burgers, and fried chicken each week. I take no drugs, except the caffeine that comes in my soda, nor do I naturally have a high metabolism (my abs weren't visible when I was younger).

I got visible abs by balancing what I eat, lifting weights, and running. What matters at the end of the day is having the discipline to either control your diet, your physical activity, or both.

This is the standard for reporting on inflation data. Do you know of a reporting on inflation where they mention an uncertainty measure? For example when reporting on the difference between this year and last year's inflation number?

It sounds like the kind of self-delusion an overweight, unfunny person engages in to feel better about themselves while avoiding the challenge to be healthier, more attractive, or have a better personality.

> if the creation and circulation of money was perfectly in line with the growth of the economy than there would be no inflation.

While this is technically true (at least for some interpretations of "inflation"), it's important to realize that the wealth transfer effect you describe still occurs in this case. The only way it would not occur is if the newly created money was distributed exactly in accordance with the current allocation of money: in other words, if the economy grows by 1 percent, every current holder of a dollar gets a penny. But of course that's not how money creation is actually done.

Honestly, I wish someone would create a mod for the PowerBook G4 (either the Titanium or Aluminum versions) that is similar to the ThinkPad X62 project; modern components in a ThinkPad X61 chassis. I love this generation of Apple laptops, and it would be nice to use one of these with modern components.
It's also convenient for maintaining a grip on power and something I'm certain both parties have internally considered. Think about the most recent election. How many people voted for Hillary thinking, "I think this person truly and accurately represents my views and beliefs." And similarly for Trump? By contrast how many voted for one or the other thinking, "This person is trash... but, my god, the alternative is just completely unacceptable!"

The same sort of attitude ensures that third parties will never be considered. When people are driven to literally fear the 'opposition' winning, it means that the powers that be have effectively sealed their grip on power tight. Also even notice the media's focus on "electability." It's all rhetoric designed to get people to note vote for the candidate they want in power, but to 'strategically vote' and in the process completely undermine their own self interest.

Pair this with some institutional issues like ballot access and we have a system where the establishment has all but guaranteed their perpetual success.

If you buy a car that has an engine that produces 400 horsepower, you can reasonably expect it to run reliably. Every part will have been designed to handle the power output of that engine.

On the flip side, if you buy a car that has an engine that produces only 200 horsepower, but then add a large turbocharger that boosts the output to 400 horsepower, you're likely to run into problems. The cooling system might not keep up. The engine block internals might not be able to handle the extra pressure. The transmission or differential might not be able to survive the excess torque. Your clutch might slip.

Similar idea to a CPU. Transistors can only switch so fast. If you buy a CPU that Intel labels as a 5 Ghz CPU, Intel is guaranteeing those transistors can switch fast enough to maintain that clock speed. If you buy one that's only 4 Ghz and try to overclock it, there might be some transistors in that chip that can't switch that fast. Increasing voltage can help, but now you're creating more heat.

If you're in the US, you may also wish to think twice before calling the cops on a loved one, particularly if they're only a danger to themselves (and not you or others). Police in the US rarely receive training[0] in dealing with suicidal individuals, and are instead trained to escalate the situation and or use violence for a resolution[1].

There are numerous examples of the police turning up on a suicide call and killing the individual, even when unarmed[2][3]. They simply aren't qualified to deal with suicidal individuals and should only be used when other's safety is at stake.

One more thought - connecting via a temporary Mullvad account from a public or obscured entry point (perhaps during an international trip or at a McDonalds) would probably be the most straightforward method. The worst you're giving away is that entry point (to Sweden's loggers), but the DO/VPS fraud detection is less likely to fire if you're going through Mullvad.

To be clear, my own goal in all of this is primarily to get through residential ISP snooping -- I don't trust them not to sell my personal info. Staying out of the state dragnets is also a plus (I don't like the idea of snoops in a building somewhere reading my personal emails; same reason I close the living room curtains in the evening).

> It’s sort of the divide and conquer strategy.

Since we're discussing nothing short of the US government acting as an enemy to the citizens it is supposed to serve, I would suppose the next few prudent questions are:

1) What is the entity deploying this divide and conquer strategy?

2) Is this entity monolithic? Cellular? Organized or random?

3) What does this entity stand to gain and is it good for all?
What is somewhat ironic is that X11 is DPI aware at least since R6 (early 90's or so). But most modern applications tend to ignore that because it caused "stuff to look wrong" (as in not exactly pixel-exact same everywhere). FWIW Windows' GDI also has some DPI awareness since forever, but it didn't really work well to the extent of even Windows components having totally broken UI for anything other than 75dpi (caused by mixing of units in UI definition).

Many times I'll just read the comments and not bother reading the linked article at all.
Probably people realised that in many cases, a chatbot simply wasn't a good choice of interface for the product/service they were building. Yes, they can work well in some cases, like with help desk type support, sales, general gimmickry on chat rooms and forums, etc.

But in a lot of cases, a traditional UI (whether visual or command line focused) is simply far more usable than a bot, and people/companies realised that. As much as it may sound old fashioned, talking to everyone is not necessarily better than using a keyboard/mouse/controller/whatever, and having a bot that has to figure out what you want with far less sophistication than an actual person makes it even worse.

The technology isn't there yet for chatbots to be as useful as they need to be, and in many cases, bots and chat interfaces and what not simply aren't a good solution for the problem at hand either.

Until the VC money runs out and the poor(er) have zero choice. Those people chose to give their money to Lyft / Uber instead of supporting their local public transit. Fast forward through Uber/Lyft's 'disruption' the local public transit shuts down due to lack of funds for maintenance, upgrades, etc. The public transportation ridership will be at an all time low, so it would be very hard to get tax payers to shoulder the burden of the costs... Seems like a sad state for the future.

“We are living longer and better lives compared to generations past”

I appreciate all your writing, but statistics show lifespans in the U.S. are declining and housing is out of reach for increasing populations. On a mass society level that means something is very wrong and has been for some time. (Lots of folks like to also blame drug use but those have been around for ages.)

Really? I view this research as opening the way for laws mandating oil/gasoline producers reach carbon neutrality by funding/implementing mass carbon extraction as part of the cost of drilling.

Sure, they'll still be doing massive ecological harm with oil spills, disruptive drilling, fracking-related earthquakes/water reservoir contamination, and so on, but at least we won't bake ourselves to death, there's that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I liked this for contrast:

Additionally, when we started the company I didn't have much money, but I saw that the most commonly searched term for SoundCloud producers was "How do I get more Reposts on SoundCloud?" A repost on SoundCloud is like a retweet on Twitter, so artists want as many of them as possible so their music will get heard.

I thought if I named the company Repost and dominated the SEO on that specific search we could get some free inbound traffic. My assumption worked. I believe if you search "SoundCloud repost" in Google we're one of the top hits, and something like 25% of our inbound applicants come organically.
