Is there a good explanation for the bar chart that shows labor force participation being down or flat for just about everyone other than young women and old men?
This has always been an odd argument to me. Does abolishing DST also abolish flashlights, streetlamps, reflective clothing...? What did children do before DST came around to save them? Children have been attending school longer than DST has been around.

One word. Centos.

It's easy to devalue most of the engineering work put into a premium distro. Businesses might still pay for it for mission critical stuff, but that's not enough volume to run a business on.

> You want the source code for it, so you can modify it and/or redistribute it? Also pay for it. The GPL has explicit provisions for allowing access to the source code only if you pay, for example.

This isn't going to work.

1. You aren't going to get much money. From the GPL (3.b):

> for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution

2. Only one person has to pay for the source. Once the source is out, other people can just get a copy of the copy.
New to Zulip. So is it sponsored by Dropbox now after acquisition of Zulip Inc.?

On the bottom of the page, it reads:

Tim Abbott is the lead developer of the Zulip open source
project. He previously was CTO of Ksplice and then Zulip
Inc. (before it was acquired by Dropbox).
Whaaat!? I who always thought irc was the on-prem Slack alternative. Its a pretty cool thing that recently got created (around 1988). Try it out! Will blow you mind straight out of the water tbh. There's even some public chat rooms you can hang around in.
Wow I enjoyed this essay. I'm enthusiastic about graphs, and have spent a few dinners with my girlfriend imagining designing our perfect city. I didn't expect to run into a well-written article at the intersection of those topics.

For anyone interested, the ethos of our dream city is walkability. High density, mixed use buildings. The main "streets" are walking and biking only, with limited roads for service vehicles. Public parking and transit at the city edges allow people to leave their car behind when visiting.
But why is that a scam? Redistributing for profit is a right explicitly granted by all FOSS licenses.

This is like when people were selling Firefox CDs:

Conceptually possible, but in practice what market forces ensure that such a group exists?

I know a non-zero number of people that both work paycheck to paycheck and also make work the most important part of their lives. That's not to say it's mutually exclusive with 'neither' group, but I don't think it's impossible for the 'neither' group to shrivel into non-existence.

Also, you've cherry-picked the GPL. It talks about "equivalent access", i.e. you can charge as much for the source as what you charged for the binary.

The data doesn't support such a conclusion. It says that when you fully control for individual choices, the difference disappears. In a different profession or industry there may be different effect sizes of those choices.
I think what eloff hits on is a gating problem in the choices that each sex typically makes in eloff's construction of their interactions.

Successful women want to marry someone as or more successful, making their pool smaller. Men don't tend to worry as much about marrying someone as or more successful as them, so as you move up the "success" distribution, women have ever fewer choices, and men even more, causing a lot of mismatching problems for women above [x] percentile.

The real kicker is snow: in the winter months, if you get snow, you really want as much sun in the morning as possible to aid snowmelt and other snow clearing steps. In the summer months, moving extra sunlight to the afternoon makes much more sense. DST is a compromise that gets you morning sun in winter and afternoon sun in summer.

STAR has never been used in a public election. At some point, we can't both argue about lack of evidence and against getting the evidence.

http://star.vote is not a controlled scientific survey or anything, but people overall seem to have no trouble using the full range.

In fact, in my anecdotal experience, even over years in the past when I told people about plain score voting and tried to get them not to use the full range (because I misunderstood that issue myself), many people insisted that they would use the full range anyway. A lot of people find it intuitive to give their favorite all the points they can.

But the real answer is that, yes, we need more studies and trials of all these things.

I wonder how much of the benefit from all this type of work will be wiped out due to climate change. Seems like increased coastal flooding, conflicts over scare resources, droughts, etc. will harm the most vulnerable far more than the benefit of all these programs combined.

I use Instapaper to actually read articles so I can highlight and annotate.

It Instapaper can't parse it, I'll save it to Pinboard or download as a PDF and highlight as I read in Preview.
Contrarian thought here - but I stopped saving things. I was a very heavy user of pocket, pinboard, delicious et al for web articles. For academic papers I use Mendeley.

I now make an active effort to read the article as I discover it - the point being (for me) that if I'm in the process of "discovering" an article, I'm not "working" on anything else that leads me to have to save it for later -- I'm in the zone, read it and not worry about coming back to it! It's been quite a pleasant change. I don't read as many articles as I'd have saved before, but I'm ok with that!
"I once did an audit on everything I've spend money on in the last 3 years and found that almost everything I spent money on is not due to ads"

I was kind of thinking this as well: I hardly buy anything but unprocessed groceries. But then I thought of the kind of ads that don't seek a purchase, the ones that set the background or expectation of the culture. It's harder to document those working.

"Big government wastes our taxes and taxes are too high"
"Our country is the only developed nation without socialized healthcare."
"It's normal in America to have two cars in a family or to take an annual vacation by airplane."
"Guns don't kill people, etc."

That stuff is insidious marketing/advertising too. We may be more vulnerable to it than the consumer type.

What's interesting is that it seems to depend on which truth you tell. To oversimplify, "take this, it's not medicine" doesn't help. "Take this, it's not medicine but it will help you anyway" does.

The key point is that employers have job openings they can't fill [1].

If you are correct that other workers are willing to work that cheap, then the jobs would be filled.

Workers exist but are unwilling to work that cheap, so they're idle while employers have unfilled jobs.

Whenever you see a news story that says "employers having difficulties finding qualified workers," you can safely replace that phrase with "employers are unwilling to pay the market rate for labor."

>That class was wildly informative looking back, you really do have me wondering what the state of that sort of curriculum is like these days.

I had a similar class in the early 2000's, complete with the mock trial and enthusiastic teacher, but looking back see it more as blatant propaganda. For example, our trial was an incredibly idealistic view of what is a terribly broken court system. Most of the class was similar, teaching the ideals of being an American without any connection to reality.
Not true. There are black and grey box adversarial techniques as well.
Pizza is made out of cheese, wheat, and tomatoes. Wheat is from a plant. Cheese is basically a plant because it is made out of 100% grass (with some processing). Tomatoes are obviously a vegetable. As you can see, pizza is almost 100% vegetable.

Agreed. About the only thing I do on top of it is add some operators for setting up AutoLayout, so I can write code like

NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
label.topAnchor ≈ view.topAnchor,
label.leadingAnchor ≈ view.leadingAnchor + 8,
label.centerXAnchor ≈ view.centerXAnchor,
view.bottomAnchor ≥ label.bottomAnchor
])
If legislation required (certain/any) publicly funded projects to use open source software, whose code would be made freely and publicly available, then open source would see a much greater market share and level of investment and we'd likely see new open source business models.

Yes, we could do that- we could even improve upon the idea. Make a Satellite laser light house, that shines densly compressed information towards the green zones of other solar systems, where we know moons or planets to be.

If we manage to stabilize that, upon the estimated location of the planet, the information will appear as a stable disc of light, flickering very fast - over the cloud-surface with the speed of the rotation of the planet.

Anyone flying into the communication channel will get a sunburn of course.

Coordination problem; people depend on things happening at certain times relative to each other, and they won't synchronize unless "the" time itself changes. e.g. people might have a system where they can drop their kids off and then go to work, but if their work is suddenly offset by an hour but the school isn't...

You can always unilaterally decide to do things on a different schedule; the problem is getting everyone else to do it too.

Very inspiring indeed. If I live long enough, I'll have lived through a period where most things that killed off my grand parents generation are in principle possible to treat. My impression is that if I manage another 20 years or so, my risk profile for dying of things that currently very common causes of death (i.e. likely to kill me), will have changed completely. That's long enough for me but may not be long enough for people I care about.

I'll spare you the cliches; we all know people that died of something (or are dying of something). But it is very heartbreaking to know about people suffering right now when the cure for what is killing them might be just around the corner.

Also, while we're at it, ditch most of chemistry, beyond the basics (Conservation of mass, atoms and molecules, formulas for basic chemical reactions, combustion, acids and bases, temperature, pressure, and ideal gases, the common forms of matter are all good, and can be covered in three months, tops.

You didn’t cut anything. You just described everything that is in a basic sophomore chemistry class and it does take a whole year.

In regards to smaller class sizes, everyone wants that but no one wants to pay for it. Communities and politicians have bitter fights over 0.2% changes in education budgets when meaningfully changing class sizes would require increases of at least 50%.

> Why would a sizeable portion of people start at 22? 18-19 plus 4 or 5 (there are plenty of 1-year masters - maybe not in Denmark, but elsewhere in Europe) is 24 at worst.

Later start in school, potential extra year 10 before high school, something called "højskole" which is potentially another year or so after high school (look up a guy called NFS Grundvig to explain this), conscription/volunteer for the military for some people.

Most long degrees are 5 years from high school to masters, 3 + 2 officially, but you generally don't want just the 3.

Also it's a reasonably common thing for people to get delayed. Failed exams, stress, even babies. Government is looking a lot at how to get people through quickly.

> Sure we could get patients to loose weight by locking them up and only feeding them 1300 calories of veggies, but for some obvious reasons that isn't really an option.

Yeah, but a lot of patients would consent to an offered treatment plan where they're locked up (and unable to sign themselves out!) and fed only 1300 calories of veggies.

The weird thing is, there are private businesses willing to provide exactly that kind of service (see: de-tox centers.) But doctors and hospitals generally don't see this as a valid form of in-patient medical treatment. Why is that? Do doctors think that patients have an inalienable right to bodily autonomy? (If so, how would surgery ever work?)

(The annoying point about this difference, to me, is that if a doctor were to diagnose you with X thing that keeps you at the hospital for a month, unable to leave—then your insurance would likely pay for that, and your employer would likely consider you on sick leave. But if a private business like a detox center keeps you for a month, then you have to pay for that out-of-pocket and you're likely to be fired from your job if you don't have the requisite vacation days saved up. From what I can see, it is in the patient's long-term interest if doctors get into this business!)

Apple's SD card reader is a Lightning accessory. Of course it has MFi.

But you can plug a generic USB SD card reader in to your iPad using Apple's Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter and that works just fine, even though the generic USB SD card reader does not have an MFI chip. Similarly you can plug a camera in (which is the original purpose of that adapter), or an ethernet adapter, or a MIDI interface, or more, none of which have MFi chips and yet work just fine when plugged in via Apple's Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter.

The fact that generic storage devices don't work has nothing at all to do with MFi and everything to do with the fact that iOS simply doesn't implement support for them.

And learning the basics just doesn't seem to cut it anymore. It seems like most enterprise technology builds on older versions of older versions making it more complex.

I do much the same. I either read it at that moment, or decide my time is better spent elsewhere.
