> There's nothing wrong with hard work.

> But there is a lot wrong with the idea that you need to work until your health is impacted to succeed

Yeah but that's the thing: people tell you it makes totally sense to work long hours if you have the time, no commitments in life etc. Those people can be parents, 'peers' (whatever that means), people on the Internet... My bosses - during the times in which I was regularly employed - rarely told me such things. But to come back to the point, nobody of these people tells you to work while you're seriously sick or to work yourself to death. They tell you to work yourself into a higher position, wealth, etc.

So by the time you're health or social life are affected, it's already to late. I mean this is not a process where you turn one day to the other from healthy to sick. It's a gradual process and you realize it when it's years to late.

> To me this ties into the gross, pervasive trend of wantrepreneurism. Shark Tank, Zuck, Elon Musk - being a founder has never been sexier, never been more interesting or lucrative.

I've heard the term 'wantrepreneurism' but the people you mention are highly exceptional and super successful. Chances that you can copy them are for various reasons next to 0,0000%.

> In the wake of that, WeWork and GaryV and a whole bunch of people are selling the idea that regardless of how bad your idea is or how unfit you are to be an entrepreneur, all you need is access or hustle to succeed. And that's awful, awful advice.

In my experience this is not true. I mean when you encounter people working in the startup scene running accelerators etc., there are not tired to tell anyone how selective they are, that this stuff isn't for anyone, brainstorm any aspects of your idea that might be stupid. When you listen on the people on the videos, you realize that this is also the whole point of this hustling porn: either you have incredible luck or you work like crazy so you become successful. That said, I think the original Medium article which popularized this topic recently was much more on point: https://medium.com/@nateliason/no-more-struggle-porn-202153a...
Is it really going that far out on a limb to say that sharing the internet with China does not you “evil”?
The Fascinating History of Autocorrect (2014)
You don't have to be a total 100% monopoly market to be successfully accused of anti-competitive behavior, however.

When Microsoft was ruled to have violated antitrust laws in the early 2000s, there were alternatives available for browsers (eg Netscape) and operating systems (eg Linux and Mac OS). However, in the US court's opinion, Microsoft made it too difficult to install competing browsers on Windows. I believe that the courts also frowned at Microsoft forcing OEMs to refrain from offering competing OS products. Thus it was found guilty of antitrust behavior, and was forced to settle with the US government.

(Thus IMHO the original article seems to oversimplify things. In the Microsoft case which is well after the "Chicago school" influence was around, low consumer prices were not really the driving factor in the lawsuits. Also, the "Chicago school" may not be a single monolith opinion. One of the first articles I found on a Google search for current Chicago school antitrust feeling was a Bloomberg article about this paper -- https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3129221 -- which is about the negative effect of corporate monopsony on the labor market... so...)
Most likely because someone failed to look for it before or those that saw it assumed it was contamination.

That’s actually incredibly common in the airline world. The issue isn’t so much the delivery method but more that information was withheld entirely. A brief description of this system allowing enough operational knowledge to be safe would only add a few minutes to the same iPad training.
I would agree on position 1, but there are many different possibilities it were not true, such as if you were living in a simulation.

My point 2 was not supposed to mean that current theory was wrong as much as there (most likely will) be a more accurate better theory that will replace current ones. No-one disputes that (non-Microsoft) cell phones work. The problem lies on the philosophical side - Newtonian mechanics caused a big problem in that it was quite strongly suggestive of determinism. But more underlying theories, such as QM make the situation more difficult and complex. Assuming the current or fashionable theory of the time is correct is very likely to lead to a temporary or fashionable philosophy.

Position 3 - Science is an empirical study of reality - it cannot in any way explain why it is not some other reality, for example. If it is governed by logic/maths, unless every mathematical construct has physical existence (which is a rather weird and unrealistic idea), you cannot explain why this mathematical construct has existence and another does not. You may argue that other studies may be pointless, but you definitely cannot claim analytically and for certain that science can ever explain everything - so this is the point at which you are bringing in an unreasonable faith in this case. And science without study of philosophical implications is rather shallow and cannot give a reasonable mind satisfaction (not that philosophy is satisfying).
I think there are different dimensions of publishing - publishing for profit or publishing for reputation.

I read something recently along the lines of "People who brag about being 'brutally honest' are usually much more into the 'brutal' part than the rest of it."
If somebody can usefully use both commodities at once - (using facebook and twitter) I would say that those two companies aren't competing to the point where they can be called the same market.
Reuters shortened version:

> The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) said in a statement that the campaign, launched on Oct. 20, had erased the accounts for violations that included “spreading politically harmful information, maliciously falsifying (Chinese Communist) party history, slandering heroes and defaming the nation’s image.”

Full paragraph [1] translated from Google Translate:

> According to the investigation, most of these dispositioned self-media accounts are on the WeChat Weibo platform, and some of them are also installed on today's headlines, Baidu, Sohu, Phoenix, UC and other platforms. Some spread politically harmful information, maliciously tampering with the history of the party history, smashing heroes, and discrediting the image of the state; some making rumors, spreading false information, acting as a "heading party" to profit, to attract attention, and to disrupt normal social order. Some arbitrarily spread vulgar pornography, violate public order and good customs, challenge the moral bottom line, and damage the healthy growth of the majority of young people; some use the hands of a large number of self-media account malicious marketing, engage in "black public relations", extortion, infringement of normal business or individual legality Equity, challenge the legal bottom line; some arbitrarily plagiarize infringement, smear the powder, build false traffic, and disrupt the normal order of communication. These self-media chaos seriously violated the dignity of laws and regulations, harmed the interests of the broad masses of the people, undermined the ecology of good network public opinion, and the society reflected strongly.

None of your links support your claim that "Once they've bled the competition dry, they can raise the prices again and benefit from full control over various parts of a market." Every one of them support that Walmart is selling goods cheaper than competitors who then file suit.

For example, your last link specifically states Walmart was selling things cheaper than their competitors, the competitors sued, and in the agreement with the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection, Walmart admitted no wrong doing and was not fined whatsoever.

If you're going to post links supporting your claim that "Once they've bled the competition dry, they can raise the prices again and benefit from full control over various parts of a market." don't post links with zero support for that. It's a waste of our time.
It doesn't matter if you're 30 or 50 or 60, there's all sorts of controversial opinions these days that are verboten. No, they're not all "shitty opinions".

How does this work if someone is doing multiple sequential writes? Doesn't backup-ing to disk take a lot longer than writing to _RAM_ meaning some writes could get lost?
From someone who does full understand BGP, I have a question

Somewhere, a BGP route was misconfigured to send data somewhere else.
What would happen if a BGP route was terminating at China, and the bad actor who made it happen, decided that they are not going to fix it and just leave it.

How would the rest of the BGP network deal with it?
The whitelist feature would be great because our work wi-fi network seems to be incompatible with this app somehow.

This stuff is very hard to wade through, especially Greer's documentary. I just picked out something to follow up on on Google scholar, the Atacama skeleton, and it immediately falls apart. I'm not saying all of this is necessarily false, it just seems to have a pro-extraterrestrial bias that he's trying to gather evidence for, rather than just analysing evidence without foregone conclusions. I've never seen material on extraterestrials that didn't fall into that trap.

And for all these characters being interviewed, how do you know they aren't just payed actors? Has anyone followed their references? The way it looks to me it's all just a bunch of people with trumped up or vague relationships to US government, including Greer himself having "briefed" intelligence officials (which he later corrects as a talk during a dinner party, who knows whether that's true). Just a personal note as someone who's done a PhD: I've come to the conclusion that if someone introduces himself with "Dr. XYZ", it's probably a person trying to trump up their importance. I've come to get skeptical immediately when someone is doing that.

I agree that it's long overstayed its welcome, but from what I gather, the zombies are mostly irrelevant. You could swap out "zombie outbreak" with any other persistent hazard that causes the breakdown of civilization and provides a constant background threat to the actual focus of the story: the people who have to survive and deal with each other/the environment they're faced with after said breakdown.

As much as I enjoyed the early seasons, I understand that it was always the goal of the original author and the showrunners to make it more about people being people in extreme circumstances. If it was decades earlier it could just as easily have gone the Fallout route and used nuclear war/radioactive hazards/mutants/etc. as the backdrop and the stories could have stayed 95% the same.

Good points.

I don't think the difference between Tesla and most tech companies is just risk though. Tesla is definitely taking way more risk than "normal" but I think they are still getting a great price for equity. They're still trading at a nice multiple of revenue, especially considering debt.

I think there is a real difference in how the money works.

Tesla's equity was not, for the most part, poofed into existence by the market's expectations of future success. It was invested into the company. People wrote checks. Tesla built factories, made cars. The value of equity fluctuated and people made some market gains, but a substantial portion of the dollar value in Tesla right now was put there by investors.

Google or Facebook never needed money. They needed a market for their shares, but they didn't need to raise capital.

I think you're probably right about the narrow focus. More of the economy is more like FB and less like Tesla today.

If Tesla has more/less capital available, they can put it to work in the way whiteboard economics works. Increase capacity, produce more units, R&D... Facebook can't. Financial markets can affect its share price, but they really don't directly affect what FB can/will do.

My very long winded point is that the prevalence of fb-like companies makes money markets less reactive, and explain why prices are so high for assets. Big segments of the market can happily pocket increases in equity value, but they are supplier of capital, not consumers of capital like they're supposed to be.
>They were able to invest all the time they wanted in their personal projects, as mundane problems like paying the rent were never issue to them.

A million times this. Many, many, founders come from upper middle class families or better. Many of them have, or were earning, ivy league educations when they dropped out to run their funded businesses full-time. A good chunk of them have already exited at least 1 startup and are independently wealthy if they chose to live in most of the US, if not any city in the world.

It's easy to pour yourself into an idea when you're not worried about making your car insurance payment, making rent, hoping no personal emergency happens that you'll have to put on a credit card, it's a whole different story when you're lower middle class or lower and have no cushion. When you have no family to fall back on when things don't pan out.

Hustle is sexy when you have an exit, when you have a safety net, when you have a support system. Hustle is tantamount to slavery when you don't have these things. When hustle is a means of survival it can quickly become toxic, demoralizing, soul-crushing and even dangerous to your health but when you come from a position of means it's just a challenge, another way to get that adrenaline and endorphin release.
Short version, think of it like this: The European powers had a ton of capital and resources garnered through colonial exploitation of Africa and Asia which was basically fuel burned through in massive bonfire of destruction that was the First World War -- anything left over went into the Second World War leaving the US as the dominant power for the latter half of the 20th century.

It's only ever "worth it" if it works out. It's never "worth it" if it didn't.

This is basically the survivor fallacy: you didn't win because you risked ruining yourself, you won because you got lucky. Risking to ruin yourself just meant you increased your chances of winning (while also significantly increasing your chances of losing).

Teaching people they'll be successful as long as they're willing to "eat shit" for years may create a handful of winners but it will also cause a ridiculous amount of ruined lives (not to mention families and relationships).

Imagine playing Russian roulette with only one empty chamber but afterwards everyone who survives also gets a toin coss to determine if he also wins a billion dollars on top.

Sure, if you win, it was totally worth it because you came out of it unharmed and you have a billion dollars.

If you win the roulette but lose the coin toss, hey at least you were ever so close to winning the billion dollars. Maybe you'll write an inspiring blog post about how waking up before dawn and doing push-ups helped you come that far and about your plans to win that coin toss if you get another chance in the future.

Or you are sour about losing the coin toss and traumatised from the roulette but people now just lecture you about how you held the coin wrong and you should be lucky you even made it to the coin toss because if you fumbled the coin toss you really weren't skilled enough to win the roulette or you should have played for a few more rounds after nobody else was left because then you'd have definitely performed better at tossing that coin.

But if you lose the roulette, you're probably in no state to lament to anyone how terrible of an idea it was to play in the first place.

And if you look at the really successful ones, you'll notice they actually sometimes shot themselves but their parents or family were rich enough to make sure they wore a bullet-proof helmet.

It's luck. Risking your health and social life just slightly increases the number of coin tosses while loading more bullets in the chamber. Look at how many entrepreneurs are putting themselves out there and working themselves to death, then look at how many are billionaires -- heck, look at how many are millionaires. The rest that just vanishes? At best they gave up and decided to do something else.
>For a third connotation that is close to the GP's, think of a coach telling his players to hustle on the basketball court. To me, that means they need to play hard and quick, not that they need to try more to bend the rules, take advantage, etc.

That's interesting, I always assumed the coach was actually suggesting they try to bend the rules and do whatever's necessary to win, but your interpretation makes more sense.

An SDE2 is a senior software engineer, typically one who's been with Amazon for a few years.

It's unreasonable to assume most of the employees in the new office are going to be SDE2. Likely most of them will be new hires and SDE1.

$200k total compensation is not competitive for an experienced senior software engineer in Manhattan. I bet one of the arguments against NYC was that Amazon would likely have to improve compensation packages.

I wish there was an option in OpenVPN to not use connection on SSID/network xyz. I have static IP at home and use dyndns for DNS resolution with service specific subdomains. Then, using forwarder at home I create split DNS to point to local device for public domain. It currently doesn't work as I combined domain for VPN and another service out of laziness after moving VPN to physical box.

All that said, I don't need to VPN while at home to home network and prefer a little more granularity instead wifi or cell only. I believe this could be where battery drain would come from, at least in my case as the client constantly retries at home though it will never resolve the proper host internally cause I am lazy admin.

Hacking is putting something together quickly, just enough so that it barely works.

Bypassing, disabling, removing a copy protection or extracting the data from a protected medium is cracking, the metaphor being that the protection cracked as glass would have. Those had to work perfectly, and they were often bug fixed, trained and level-packed as well as single-sided, thus making them better, faster and smaller than the original. That's not a hack.
