Protobufs can be and in normal practice are made backwards-compatible. For serious breaking changes, you want to version your endpoints anyway.
I didn't really find Google Inbox that appealing, but this looks intriguing.
I'm still using Thunderbird on desktop (personal and professional Linux boxes and professional Windows laptop) and K-9 on smartphone (Android). I'm far from being fully satisfied with either of them, but at least they are better than anything else I've tried to date and more importantly they are slowly improving whereas others I've used (eg. Gmail for the browser and Gmail for Android) are quickly becoming worse (except for the last two updates of Gmail for the browser, I've to admit).

I've some hope in getting a nice setup with notmuch, mu4e or some other power-user oriented MUA at some point (being able to type my emails in Emacs is a real selling point for me), but so far I've been hesitant to lose the ability to read non-plain text emails right in my MUA.
What Is Network Monitoring
>Now, this also assumes that people become literally useless in the automated future, compared to systems. It's possible - if unlikely - that humans always move on to a higher frontier of uniquely human work once the previous one becomes automated. In that scenario, UBI could be a great way to ride that transition. Also, partial UBI, meant only to give people a platform for growth in a world that still has jobs for them, could be a good way to combat economic inequality.

What you're missing is that not everyone will be qualified to do those tougher new jobs. Especially the people who are now working at McDonalds, as cashiers, etc.
Thunderbird for now.

I want to shift to a CLI based email client. But my previous attempts in making that shift have been unsuccessful. I had spent a couple of hours in shifting to Gnus Emacs but because of my inability to configure it properly I had to move away from it.

Some common issues I faced while configuring it were --
1. Would always start downloading the mail metadata everytime I did =M-x gnus=. I am pretty sure there is some way to pull that into local filesystem once and just download the incremental metadata.
2. With the basic vanilla config, there was no support for notifications which is an essential factor in my workflow i.e. interrupt based working rather than polling.

I have heard there are other CLI based clients like Mutt, m4uemacs in Emacs which are a bit more practical for a beginner than a Gnus but I am yet to get those a shot.
Right, agreed. The problem with our current system in the US is the "cracks" are being exploited by those who have massive amounts of capital, and they've engineered the system so they continuously control a growing amount of it. So wealth is being siphoned out of the economy at an alarming rate and we now essentially have an economic plutocracy. But, gee, that's fine because those people earned that money...nevermind that's it's economically ineffective.

We either need more radical forms of wealth (re)distribution or we need to give everyone a share in the productive forces.

Yes, there will be cracks in the system, but I guarantee we'll be better off than we are now.

Audi’s first electric car reportedly delayed again because of a battery shortage
>> The alternative to letting the individual determine what they want is to let someone else choose for them.

There might be gray areas in the middle. Some rough ideas:

- banning marketing

- Incentivising talented people toward roles that are best for society, and their results will pull people

- Do people really choose what they want ? people want affordable housing, to see their kids more, that the job conditions to be nice, etc. They settle for cheap consumer stuff, because that's what our society is aimed towards. It's a choice.
No. But if both persons are productive then the Fed is more likely to inject another dollar or two into circulation.

For that, there need to be consequences for politicians that screw up. There aren't. Actually, nowhere do we even have a real democracy. A regular person has no say in anything at all.

Mass democracy was always a mistake and will just have to be abolished (although probably there is no way for it to be abolished democratically as it's a chicken and egg problem - so it will probably happen through societal collapse and what's called a regime change).

It worked okay at the height of industrial era, but worse and worse ever since. Nothing good happens if you let people who bear no real responsibility for anything, to make decisions. Only property owners should vote.

I don't buy the idea that people are fundamentally "smart" and "stupid", or "creative" and "uncreative". I think those things mostly depend on what kind of environment you grow up in, and what your self-perception is.
Something like 80% of the 60 - 65 million people killed during world war 2 were unarmed. They were civilians or prisoners of war.

The vast majority of these were killed by Germany, Japan, Italy, and Soviet Union.

While there were individuals who resisted this, the systems of government and the belief systems that drove the totalitarian states where unprecedentedly horrific.

If you're interested in learning more about this history, "The Second World Wars" by Victor Davis Hanson is a good place to start.
There is a super-simple solution to this problem: a progressive tax on income, wealth, and most importantly, inheritance (with an exemption for private businesses below a certain size that are both owned and administered by a single family).

Another possibility: eliminate private ownership of land. This is actually not as radical as it sounds. It's a big shift in mindset, but not that big a change in how things actually work. The mindset shift is to go back to the native american idea that all land is collectively owned by the people. The government is the "management company" that administers it, and one of the things it can do is offer long-term leases. This would essentially be the same as the status quo except that instead of owning the land and paying property tax, you'd own a lease and pay rent. The reason I think this would have a beneficial effect is that the change in mindset would change the dynamics of political debates. For example, NIMBYism would be less tenable because it's not your back yard any more. You're just a tenant.

Well, I don't think that's an unreasonable request. From a developer perspective there are always a couple of apps that are always running like Terminal, Browser, Email Client and if a calendar application starts taking a huge chunk of the RAM then maybe its not worth it rather one might just use calendar.google.com as a tab in the browser.
Part of the issue is cultural preservation, Distinct cultures, particularly indigenous ones, have unique oral and recorded histories, and translation can lose important cultural context.

As an example of that, there are a total of 10 Manchu native speakers left in the world. This is a problem because many Qing-dynasty documents are in Manchu.

Also, ethnic discrimination against indigenous peoples has a long history pretty much globally. Legal equality is often not enough, because the past couple centuries have been spent whittling their economic and social capital to basically nothing. Reparations or subsidy is required for even a hope of getting those people on equal footing.
DHS’ Biometric Exit
It's interesting to see a kids TV show around an environmentalism message 40 years ago.

And the multiethnic mix (which I suppose they could've gotten from Star Trek, in the genre, rather than contemporary culture).

Seems there might be an unfortunate gender-roles message, to the super-impressionable kids watching. In the naration, scientists are called "men". And in the first episode, I thought the woman was going to be the main scientist (albeit taking orders from the male captain), but the male boy is arguably leading the science-ing scene, with the adult woman scientist functioning as his assistant. Later, in the car, at least they let the woman drive (boy is too young), but the boy is still being smart and giving orders to the adult woman. (Though the woman later has a moment of assertion, when untying the captain, and the boy can't get a word in. And she does get to speak again in the final scene, albeit standing behind the man, and after the man and boy do the combat-ish work while she follows along.) And, since she doesn't seem to have the main scientist role, it seems the uniforms are probably actually color-coded by gender. It could be much worse, but kids pick up on a tremendous amount of stuff.

Having travelled a fair bit, I have to say that this sort of klepto-capitalism is much more common in western countries (esp Britain, Italy, US, even Mexico) than in still growing eastern countries (e.g. Korea, Japan, China, or even Germany and the Nordics) which seem to still care about their local populations.

The key seems to me is that the political-economic elite (and every society/country has them) in some of the more wealthy, but stagnant economies has decided that extracting money from the rest of their countrymen (including externalized costs) is more profitable (or higher utility) than trying to make productive economic growth. Basically, beggaring your neighbor pays better than a rising tide lifting all boats.

As a result, you still have countries/cultures that invest in education, infrastructure, manufacturing versus those who create influencers, renovate houses, and serve ads. I don't actually put most software/services (even search) in the second boat, because they actually help increase productivity. But don't argue that ad based social media, ad based reality TV, or MLM Yoga (and debt based post secondary educational child care) are more healthy for society than the lower profit businesses they replaced. Also, don't argue "picking winners and losers", because corrupt government officials (and captive regulators) are doing that in every country, but some of them seem to do a much better job of actually making things (and their people better off) for the last 30 years.

It seems to me to be a social thing... and maybe it just comes in waves as large groups of people become complacent and the elite just figure, "I've got mine". The poor and the workers pay for it, and eventually there's likely to be some fairly expensive social upheaval in the reckoning.

Off shoring your workers, exporting your IP for quarterly results, and keeping the kids ignorant consumers may make you a little money or keep costs low, and labor cheap, but only for a few decades. Eventually, you'll need to compete with those who have been investing.

There’s too much to work with so I’ll just pick out this little gem, “Khanna said, but too many of them felt locked out of the country’s economic future and were looking for someone to blame.”

Too many? How many is too many? So only 20% if the population feeling locked out would be a okay?

Feel locked out? So it’s just in their heads? The unwashed masses are so emotional. Like animals they go on feelings not facts.

Looking for someone to blame? Their baseless feelings need some outlet and if they’re blaming me it must be just because I happened to walk down the street that day, not because of anything I actually did.

The truth is they don’t feel locked out, they are locked out and after giving people like this guy a pass for three decades are finally looking for the reason they’ve been getting screwed over and this guy is scared shitless they’re going to find it.

The sad part is it’s not going to happen. More likely thing is they’ll have to part with 0.000001 of their wealth to make 5% of the population winners and just get them to oppress the other 95% thus ensuring a healthy return on that 0.00001 making them even richer. They’ll just have to get over the humiliation of having to share their success with a few extra people.

Not only this, but the capitalists talk of economic free choice, but you can't just go "start a business"...you need capital. And you can be lucky enough to already have it, or you need to convince someone to give it to you. In essence, we're all either lucky, forced to beg for capital (ie, someone else making decisions for you, there goes "freedom"), forced to sell our labor for less than what it's worth, or live in a van. But, hey, we have 2000 different refrigeration options, yay...

On top of this, the commodification of basic essentials like housing constantly drives prices up to meet productivity levels. So, we're being more productive, but expenses are growing to match because, well, the invisible hand wants it that way, and who are we to argue?
Affordable housing is an oxymoron. In the U.S. in general, housing is very, very affordable already. It's just that in the few spots where the money is, it is super expensive, exactly because everyone wants to get there. Build a lot of affordable housing, and you will pay with the time you spend standing in traffic, also an unaffordable amount.

If one dollar equal one vote, you can't honestly say markets are free because by design they favor those with wealth and power.

There is nothing "free" about a system that favors the wealthy.

I'm not saying they're wrong to have them. I'm pointing out spending $20,000 on some piece of stone for you to prepare your food on is fairly non-essential.

Though again, they remove mountains for this, the shop produces a bunch of toxic, fish killing dust and sediment every day that's slowly killing me and my coworkers and destroying the planet.

But my main point was, the things I create every day are not essential. They are luxury items. Many of the other jobs i've had were also along the same line.

Not that they don't make people happy or improve their lives I suppose,(though the people that got soapstone in their kitchen recently are in for a some trouble the first time they drop something on it or spill something acidic on it.) But, in the end, it's definitely not essential and detrimental to the world as a whole in many ways.

Yes, why on earth would they round 0.04% to "less than 1%"?

Social security doesn't seem at all vulnerable to lobbyists or what billionaires want. In a democracy, how would that work? Businesses depend on the legal system.

Lobbyists matter more for issues where most people don't have a direct interest and/or aren't paying attention. UBI by its nature would have a very large constituency, once people are getting the checks.

That said, I agree that partial UBI would be better to start, but more for reasons of affordability and not changing the economy too quickly.
I am put off by ETF performance thanks to my results last year. I had a SEP IRA for my business with $1,000 in it and a traditional IRA with $6,000. I bought a pharmaceutical ETF with the SEP IRA. After a year it lost about 5%. Meanwhile the trad IRA grew to $10,500 investing in companies I know.
Wonder how much of this is down to simple awareness that the game exists, and the role culture (and especially the internet) has had in promoting it?

Because in my childhood, I had no idea what Dungeons and Dragons was at all, nor that it even really existed. Hell, the only things I knew about it came from the odd TV show that featured the characters playing it in a random episode (in this case, probably Dexter's Laboratory).

And I suspect a lot of people were in that situation. They just never came across it in day to day life, perhaps because the company behind it didn't do much in the way of mainstream advertising.

The internet fixed that. Now people can easily come across forum or social media discussions about it, read up on sites and wikis about it and get a general idea what it entails from fiction based around it. Which is pretty common with webcomics now, since many use Dungeons and Dragons esque rulesets for their worlds, or apply them to other media (see the Order for the Stick for an example of the first, and DM of the Rings and Darths & Droids for examples of the latter).

TV Tropes may have had an effect too. Loads of tropes there are based on concepts from Dungeons and Dragons (like the alignment system), and works based on it are extremely popular on the site.

Oh, and to a lesser degree, it got more respect due to 'geek culture' going mainstream too. I suspect among those who had heard of it (especially in the US) people either assumed it was something only geeks/nerds/whatever would play or (if they were of the Jack Chick esque moral panic persuasion), the work of the devil.

This has obviously turned around a bit, especially when actors and other celebrities have mentioned playing the game (and other tabletop RPGs) online.

Sounds like it isn't the most sane option in a society where human needs are attached to a job.

The job provides health care and covers housing cost, and retirement pay. The job can short you and thus you look for a side hustle.

But people also look for a side hustle to move up to the higher side of where they are in the class scale, or find retirement safety.
So on average how much do you earn for say every $100 in bet?
We had Redshift for our 23TB+ dataset and it worked great. The downside is it can get pricy, so do a cost analysis before you commit. Also know that views in redshift are not materialized so it’s more efficient to create physical tables of the views - which then adds maintenance overhead. The last thing I’ll add is that you’ll need to experiment with compression settings for your data. For us, a combination of ZSTD and bytedict was all we needed
"Market forces" is just another way of saying "individual choices". Restricting individual choices has certainly been practised across a number of political and economic systems but there is always a question - who decides what to restrict?

What Marx Got Wrong About Capitalism
> Why has the 40 hour week persisted? Market forces.

Mostly zoning laws, burdensome regulations and government subsidies, really. If housing, education and healthcare still cost in real terms what they did in 1950 then people could afford to work 20 hours a week if they wanted to, but they're stuck working 40 hours because of government policies that cause price inflation and cost disease.

> Climate change? Market forces.

Markets require consent to operate. The victims of climate change didn't consent and should have every right to sue.

> The persistence of the slave trade? Market forces.

It was actually market forces that destroyed the slave trade. The rise of factories gave the slaves something much better to run away to, which made "slaves running away" a thing that happened so much more often that the entire system started to disintegrate. It's not a coincidence that the Civil War was between the industrialized North and the slave-owning South.

Also, slavery is obviously the epitome of not being a free market.

> Prostitution and human trafficking, opioids, disintegration of the family, Facebook; all your good friend “market forces”.

Prostitution is dangerous primarily because it's illegal.

Human trafficking is slavery again.

The opioid crisis is caused primarily by the War on Drugs and failed government policies that make it hard and expensive to seek medical treatment while causing black market drugs to have high but inconsistent potency and all the other issues.

Disintegration of the family is mostly a result of social assistance programs replacing the need for social ties with government programs.

Facebook is lame but it's also in decline. That is how the market is supposed to work -- things people hate fall out of favor.

You haven't chosen very good examples.
