This was a major plot arc in the show Billions - a hedge fund that was short a company (Ice Juice) so they paid some shady characters who sabotaged it to ensure that the hedge fund won their bed.

The idea was that if you needed things done and you had enough money there was a surplus of characters in NYC who could get those things done.

(This season a Russian oligarch character proposes murder in order to ensure his returns.)

I am unsure if they were referencing reality in the Ice Juice sabotage scenario in that or just dreaming up absurd scenarios for entertainment value.

It's not really my idea, it's what the larger countries basically did starting in the eighties and early nineties when free trade ideology was quite strong, leading up to the creation of the WTO and EU and so on and so forth.

"The GAU-8 can no longer kill top-line Russian armor? Source?"

A 30mm cannon couldn't kill T-64s, T-72s(T-90s), T-80s for a long, long time. Neither can it's Russian counterpart, the SU-25 kill an M1Ax Abrams. What it CAN do is make a mission kill - it can destroy the tank's threads, cannon, and optics, which takes the tank out of action.

Furthermore, the A-10 always had a close support role which a fast-high (F-35) or low-unarmored (Tucano, despite light armoring iirc) simple cannot do. To say that an AH-64 can fulfill the A-10s role is also delusional - it can't get in as fast or survive as well once it's in.

A self driving car takes up as much space as a normal car. People tend to know how much the new lightrail is going to cost but don't know how much it costs to turn a two lane road into a three lane road, or the general costs of the automobile infrastructure. When I went digging around I found each traffic light pole unit cost $150k, so a normal intersection is $600k

i do think the search, recommendations, following, ease-of-uploading, and unlimited hosting capacity that youtube gives you are of real, incredible value.

When I was a teenager (in the 90s) I was a chess teacher/coach. I won't quote cliches and metaphors which I believe are trite and gloss over the point.

While we had a large group of behaved kids, some parents would send their troublesome children to learn chess as a way to socialize in a healthy intellectual environment with a strong value and ethics system. As a coach it was very difficult, especially since I was socially awkward and troubled myself as a teen. We wouldn't just play chess though - which can get very competitive and one sided. We also enjoyed team activities like the chess variants bughouse and kriegspiel, and we'd get outside and play soccer and kickball too - I found those to be the most helpful (I love those two variants I mentioned much more than chess).

In short, the rewards were real and long-lasting. Chess helped turn me around personally, and gave me an exposure for responsibility (and I fucked up a couple times but that's part of learning from mistakes in life). I know many of the children in our club went on to have responsible and successful lives, and while it wasn't really our goal (we were just playing games!), it makes me happy that it was a side effect.

Glad someone is doing this. The author pulled a bait and switch and got away with it because the software wasn't really a community project to begin with. The switch happened right after I spent a good amount of time getting Aseprite's finicky build system to work so I could package it for a distro.

Fake tax reductions. It reduced taxes temporarily for some low and middle income folks. Increased them permanently for many middle income folks due to double taxation (state income taxes paid are purposely no longer tax deductible on federal income taxes specifically to hurt blue states).

It's not that far fetched, really.

For a lack of a better word, modern video games are increasingly "manipulative" when it comes to incentivizing players to play more, and without sounding conspiratorial, gaming companies probably benefit a whole lot from gaming addictions fueled by progression systems like you mentioned.

Compare that to classic games like Earthbound where an in-game character will bug you repeatedly to take a break if you play for too long. An extreme and nostalgic example, but mostly my point is that developers are much better at developing "hooks" in a gameplay loop that keeps a player going now in addition to games being way more stimulating.

I remember glancing at that NYT article. It's hard to prove these things, but they only peripherally imply the idea of 'ghost workers'.

I agree that it sounds like social connections are leading to small numbers of contractors, but the takeaway I saw is the lack of political will to manage contracting - these so-called 'soft' costs were on the order of 1/3 of the overall costs.

I didn't pick up on the duration of taxes argument - I see your point there.

I've been running root on ZFS (GELI- or LUKS-encrypted, no less) since FreeBSD 7 and Ubuntu 12, and to be frank the story on Linux just isn't that great. Documentation for root on ZFS only exists for Arch, Debian, Gentoo, and Ubuntu, with only Debian and Ubuntu having documentation for encrypted root ZFS pools. Last I checked, not a single Linux distribution's installer supported ZFS, so if you want root on ZFS, you must install Linux by hand. That's great if you have unlimited time, but it sucks for any kind of deployment at scale.

Contrast with FreeBSD, with first-class support for installing root on ZFS since 10.0-RELEASE, four years ago.
The f14s mission went away. If you are worried about a sophisticated opponant attacking your carrier, a heavy fighter-interceptor is no longer a defense against modern missiles. It was a great plane for a job that no longer exists.

If you are really into weapon history, the Phoenix missile was originally meant for an airforce super interceptor, think an armed version of the SR-71. It was meant to shoot down Valkyrie-class supersonic bombers carrying nuclear weapons. That scenario never developed, but the navy took the missile for blue water battles defending carriers. Arguably, the f-14 was only so big and powerful because it needed to haul a radar capable of servicing the missile. Phoenix was never useful in mixed environments where friendlies might be in range because that wasn't part of the original intention. It was meant for killing big/fast things approaching in open sky, not picking out Migs over Syria.

A couple of things to take into consideration with the autotaxis. We have the potential for a hybridization of taxi-bus.

Dynamic routes based on individual demand, grouping together a small number of people into a quick access people carrier. E.g I want to go right across town, you have a shorter journey that roughly overlaps my route, the vehicle will deviate slightly to pick you up.

The second thing to consider is the opportunity for mass-transit level control of autotaxi fleets (or all cars in a glorious future where everything is awesome(tm)). Optimsing the merging and cross traffic flows beyond what traffic lights do today.
Looking forward to being downvoted into oblivion: Who cares? What practical real-world implications does this have?
I live in nyc now, but grew up in a small conservative-learning town.

So many of my friends & colleagues who have spent their lives in liberal areas refuse to see the issue from the perspective of middle-class conservatives --> instead calling them 'deplorables' or 'morons'.

Maybe. I'd have to ask why we don't see more of this today. If you're looking at services transporting multiple passengers in a car or even minibus, self-driving isn't as important because the driver cost is amortized across multiple passengers.

That said, I agree that habits can change. Car-pooling was probably more common at one point than it is now. On the other hand, a lot of people seem to favor Uber because they don't want to deal with public transit even when it's available.

> "The impact of this cost hike will be felt throughout the industry, but most sharply by educators, especially those serving under-funded school districts."

I am not sure what stance to take on the tariffs, but I'm pretty sure manufacturing will feel the cost hike WAYYYY more than educators. Schools probably buy, at max, tens of thousands of dollars worth. Manufacturing buys millions of dollars. These are hyperbolic sentiments.

>The whole "US Made!" tagline of old stopped becoming possible because we couldn't charge wages low enough to compete with foreign dollars or foreign slave wages.

Not exactly. For starters being able to buy products for cheap is generally good for consumers. They have more money left over to buy other things...

Secondly, the U.S. have actively fought to keep wages low in developing nations. For example: https://www.thenation.com/article/wikileaks-haiti-let-them-l... It's easy to cry about low wages though and how that "hurts" American manufacturers. So here's the thought experiment, all workers on the planet now make at least U.S. federal minimum wage. We can now compete with Haitians for underwear manufacturing. Underwear now costs a lot more than it used to. That's not a win for consumers. And all those minimum wage underwear manufacturing jobs aren't exactly a boon to the U.S. economy, go figure.

Thirdly, no nation is going to be able to produce every sort of product itself efficiently and cheaply. Trade is and always has been important. Other nations can do some things better and cheaper and it's not always labor costs that are the linchpin of being out-competed.

Fourth, people imagine peak manufacturing as some sort of ideal that we should be tripping over ourselves to get back to. It's a fools errand. No matter what a lot of manufacturing jobs are never coming back, ever. It's never going to be like it used to be, automation will have seen to that.

A lot of people don't understand the economy, but they have an idea how the economy should be. It's more terrifying than my mom offering to fix my computer, because moms know best.

> Big cities never seem content to let public transit compete with cars on a level playing field.

You're right. We need to insist that drivers pay as much for their privilege to use public roads as we insist that public transit users pay to use public transit.

> See the highly inefficient HOV lanes, the purposeful underdevelopment of roads, exorbitant parking prices, punitive fuel and car taxes, closure of lanes, and so forth.

Oh. You want the government to subsidize your car-centric lifestyle even more than it does so. SOV cars have very large demands on space, and in urban settings, space is at a premium. Free parking, or even mandatory parking minimums, are essentially taxing everyone for the benefit of drivers.

The normal "user fees" for roads--gas taxes and car taxes--simply do not cover the actual costs even of maintenance for roads, let alone the capital costs of expanding them. This means that those funds come from general revenue, again causing everyone to subsidize drivers, whether or not they actually use them.
Greek here.

The term 'Macedonia' does not refer to a geographical region only. It refers to a geographical region plus the connection to ancient Greece.

Slavic people like you have no right to use the term Macedonia, because you are not related to Macedonia, the ancient-Greek derived sub-ethnicity. You only live in Macedonia, you are not a Macedonian.

History is full of examples of people that moved to other areas but did not 'steal' the history of the area they ended up into.

Turks moved to Ionia, they didn't become Ionians.
Greeks moved to Pontos, they didn't become Turks.
Spaniards moved to America, they didn't become Indians.
British moved to Australia, they didn't become Aboriginals.

Just because your progenitors moved to the area of Macedonia, that does not entitle your people to claim they are Macedonians.

Yes, you are a separate people, you have your own culture, language, you have become a nation, and we, Greeks, certainly recognize that.

But claiming you are Macedonian and you speak the Macedonian language? that's a fallacy. You should just use another term.

I am saying all the above in friendly spirit and with the relevant historical sciences in mind. I am not a Greek nationalist, I only want justice. And in this case, judging from the historical records, justice means you Slavic people are not entitled to use the term Macedonia in any form.

The ancient Kingdom of Macedonia was 100% Greek, judging from the historical records, the written works, the names of places and people, the language used, the art forms, and the fact that the rest of Greece accepted Macedonians as Greek.

Beyond justice, what might be the reasons for us Greeks not wanting other people to take our history? well, here are the reasons:

1) there is the danger that, in the future, the connection between North Macedonia and Greek Macedonia becomes the geopolitical cause for an unforseen yet block of power to change borders in the area.

History is full of examples of geopolitical blocks using specific interpretations of history, culture and geography to cause problems.

2) Greek products from Macedonia can no longer be named 'Macedonian' in other countries.

I understand it's difficult for you to accept it, but you have been actually scammed. From the moment you were born, to now, in all your life, you have been indocrinated to believe you are Macedonian, that you speak Macedonian, etc. What a shame! this has been done for political purposes.

If only you could let the notion that your people and any form of the word Macedonia has any connection, the world would be so nice!!!
I recall being on a weekend drill, camping and during the day we had A-10's flying low overhead, fast. I could see them looking up past the pine tree cover above us. Someone then told me it was just one A-10!
Even worse: Germany, an already very strong nation, gets to free ride the Euro for its export machine at the cost of its Eurozone rivals (and other competitors in Europe broadly). If Germany had its own currency, it would be considerably more expensive than the Euro is today, which would make German exports more expensive. As you note, countries like Greece, Spain, Italy, Portugal would do better because their exports would be cheaper under less expensive national currencies (unique to their individual economic circumstances), enabling them to compete better against Germany's exports. This artificial prop can be seen in the fact that Germany has the world's largest trade surplus as a percentage of its economic output.
So according to Ellen Pao, incels "share many values and tactics with white supremacist, men’s rights, and alt-right groups".

She tried to take away people's ability to negotiate a salary when she was CEO of Reddit and now she's after "incels". The media has supported each and every one of these attacks on the technology industry. Why is that and how do we get it to stop?

It seems to me that they are very well known at this point, and don't have significant competition. I don't see why they would be spending so much money for marketing... maybe in the past, maybe in the future. I must not understand the market.
