Scott Alexander has a good entry level write-up[1]. He is not an economists, he tries to understand the debate as a lay-person, so it doesn't cover it all, but should give you some taste of the complexity involved. For an actual economist, see e.g. Scott Sumner[2].

It's so easy to label things erroneously.

No, this is not Marxism. I can't even claim to have ever read his books. It's the reality of what I see today. Note that I'm not saying in any way how we should solve these things. I'm neither smart enough to think of those solutions or naive to think they'll ever come to life. But it's undeniable that we live in a dire world and capitalism is one of the biggest forces behind it all.

Peace? Seriously? Of all the things you could cite from capitalism, you mention the one thing that never stopped happening. Perhaps war stopped nearby your home, but capitalism never brought peace to the world. On the contrary, it created many, many wars. As it's often said: war is profitable.

Innovation is a tricky one. I agree a lot has been brought because of the pursuit for profit, but I believe they are happy coincidences. Many of the worlds greatest brains are today trying to find out how to exploit people through ads.

Perhaps your personal experience makes capitalism the lesser evil compared to the soviet USSR, but I'd urge you to not fall into this false dicothomy. It's not a binary choice.
My only complaint would be that my dog is an asshole (our fault, should've never given him people food). I'd love to be able to close the door to the kitchen and leave something out on the counter, but if you don't watch him every second he'll sneak in and grab something.

Other than that I love having a big kitchen, being able to prep food + watch TV. We barely use our dining table (we have a nice bar around our kitchen).

They don't support keychain for the individual sites (though it does use the keychain password like chrome to encrypt site logon credentials) but it does use it for application passwords. Like logging into Edge itself for the user data syncing.
I've struggled with, and am still struggling with, units hanging on shutdown. It's my biggest complaint with systemD aside from journald eating its own logs.

I've been using magic SysRq to force hanging units to quit. SysRq + e sends SIGINT to all processes, and SysRq + i sends SIGKILL.
what if i want it to collapse because i find it disgusting ?

>The CPU was a CMOS version of the 8086, compatible with the IBM PC's 8088 except it ran slightly slower, at 4.0 MHz instead of the standard 4.77 MHz.

>Unlike the Portable PC, the DG-1 laptop could not take regular PC/XT expansion cards.

>RS232 serial ports were built-in, but the CMOS (low battery consumption) serial I-O chip available at design time, a CMOS version of the Intel 8251, was register incompatible with the 8250 serial IC standard for the IBM PC. As a result, software written for the PC serial ports would not run correctly. This required the use of software written using the relatively slower and less flexible BIOS interrupt call (014h), or software written exclusively for the DG-1.

They don't need people. They always complain about needing people because it's always in their interest to do so, but the fact that they don't just raise wages strongly suggests that they don't know how to profitably employ additional people and that "we need people" is just a bunch of hot air.

This dilemma, and many like it, vanish entirely if you stop paying attention to what people say and start paying attention to what they do.
Another possibility: it's more comforting to funnel the anxiety you feel about your immediate lifestyle into something so huge no one person can change it.
" In one study, participants who read that an artist was strongly passionate about his job said it was more legitimate for the boss to exploit the artist than those who read the artist wasn’t as passionate."

If you know someone who loves painting and a mural needs to be painted on Saturday, is it really crazy to think it's less bad to ask them to paint the mural than it would be to ask someone who has no passion for it at all? The question is not "Would you prefer a world in which we ignored the differences in passion and decided to never exploit anyone at all?", the questions is "Which is worse?". It does not say anything at all about whether people think these things are OK. If I tell you killing one person is less bad than killing two, that doesn’t mean I think killing people is OK.

"Participants read about a Ph.D. student’s working relationship with their graduate advisor. Those who read a scenario in which the student was being exploited – verbally abused and given unreasonable deadlines – rated the student as likely to be more passionate than students who weren’t being exploited."

Isn't that true though? If there's an identical distribution of passion across advisors at the start of the program and passion is negatively correlated with deciding to drop out in response to an exploitative advisor, people with exploitative advisors are therefore likely to be (although may not individually be) more passionate. It's essentially just asking if passionate people are more likely to continue towards a goal even in an exploitative environment, and has nothing to do with whether that is a good thing.
My main issue has been rules failing to trigger rather consistently, maybe that's been fixed (as I just threw my hands up and went with Thunderbird years ago and it's filtering --not the greatest, but consistent which is where the value for me is)?
Burning rubber to show off in a busy city, attracting attention from everyone, is different than a YouTube channel that caters to people who would seek out that content specifically. Of course people who watch car videos think “wow what a cool guy/car” more often than the general population.

I agree with the general sentiment of getting off social media, but I really doubt that wages (adjusted mind you) are at record high levels.

As for the rising sea level, thus far not mentioned in this whole branch of the comment tree is the fact that it's going to cost us all money. There have been billions of dollars deployed/invested in port infrastructure. It wouldn't even have to end up being submerged, to become unusable by some number/type of ships. That in turn either requires modifying/rebuilding/relocating (costs money), or reducing/rerouting/cutting off flows of goods (raises prices, costs money).

Not that that's a reason to get particularly depressed; the alienation is mostly what's doing that. But the economic precarity doesn't help matters.

No I do not. You will have to work very hard to back up the claim that modern DOM operations are not costly. Plenty of lookups can cause repaint or reflow.

Scenario A: (Vdom-like approach)
- Render x with dimensions x,y,z,w.
- Store the reference to the created DOM elements.
- Store dimensions it was created with

If you do not go towards this way, and actually query DOM-land to get the dimensions you need to check against, you will run into issues. By storing your state alongside the endpoint, you will only have to diff against the stored state and props, not the endpoints themselves.

That COMPLETELY bypasses DOM access, and only updates the changed elements.

Show me how bypassing this and just using dom alone is superior. Or how adding layers of layers of js-land checks is not approaching the solution that vdom and differs already arrived at.

If you bought a house for $150,000 at 15% in early 80's, you likely refinanced as the interest rate continuously dropped from there. In 90's interest rate was below 10%, and around 7% in early 00's. Nobody would keep the 15% over 30 years.

The statement reads directly like it's coming directly out of of the mouths of T-Mobile and Sprint's own CEOs.

We don't actually need to "accelerate" 5G deployment. What we need is to have real carrier choice (4 nationwide carriers instead of 3) so that prices don't increase to unattainable levels.

In no way does this statement address what will happen to our cellular bills. What will prevent T-Mobile/Sprint from raising its price to match Verizon? What will prevent Verizon and AT&T from raising their prices further as well? How high will MVNO prices increase due to this merger?

Right now, Sprint is the lowest cost carrier in the country, and it along with its MVNOs are a great alternative for many customers. That will go away after this merger occurs.

Gardening/farming is pretty much as far removed from the urban, heavily tech-influenced lifestyle most netizens live in as it can be.

But imho this is about to change, lots of people burning out on the rapid cycles and inherent unsustainability of living the "always online city lifestyle" and thus looking for ways to escape to something more natural in the form of gardening or even farming.

unless you collect data points over a relatively long period of time, it's hard to assess the competence of a developer. you might have one person on a team who works on bugs in ascending order of difficulty and closes many tickets every day. you might have another who works on high-priority difficult bugs, but takes several days on each one.

either person could be a valuable member of the team, but how do you say which one is more competent in a quick glance?
I live in a small studio apartment alone. The open floorplan seems to work for me.
I did that last year, created a new account. Added back only a few real friends.

But slowly started getting requests from many of the previous friends. Some thought I had unfriended them, so had to explain to them that it was a new account. Felt obligated to add back most of the people. Now my feed is useless again.

Perhaps this should be yearly ritual.

Did they see themselves as a "hardware company", or as a "computer company" at a time when the hardware and the software all came together, and there wasn't really a separate software industry?

I think they did see themselves as a hardware company. Software was something they had to make to make their hardware work, but they didn't think of it as a major part of their business. I happened to work for the "world's first software company" which was founded by a star IBM salesman. (Cincom Systems Inc. in 1968.) The Smithsonian has a write up on it. It was the first time that a company was intended to make all of its money from the sale of software, and succeeded in doing so.

It's easier to sweep four small rooms than one big room without. With a big room I usually mentally break it into smaller sections to sweep one at a time, so as to always have a pile nearby whichever bit of floor is currently being swept, and then inevitably some of the dust from one section blows into somewhere I'd already finished.

If the small rooms have thresholds, that helps too; that's what they're for.

Also you can do one room today and the next tomorrow; that holds for vacuuming as well as sweeping.
What are your odds your current employer will offer you a raise in response to an external offer? I know it's only business -- but doesn't damage working relationship with your manager if you were to get an external offer, then take a pay raise, instead of leaving? It'd make you appear as a flight risk.

It's entirely possible she didn't think that way. But prior to and after that experience I did have people (outside of an interview context) that explicitly told me I should not have my level of confidence due to their perceived racial expectations. So I could be overly sensitive to the whole thing.
Systems which are freshly installed and want to change to sysvinit can do "sudo apt install sysvinit-core".

Your analogy is flawed. Comparing a service given "freely" in exchange for some other non-monetary consideration to a service paid for. If you pay, there is expectation that that payment is totally of the exchange. If it's exchange for some other consideration (no idea why, but people think it really is free, it's not it's just not priced in money), there should be expectation that there is some other exchange.

A better comparison would be "tv studio audience" you get seat/place to watch show live in exchange they get to use your voice and probably image. Same at sporting event. There probably even is an agreement outlining this exchange. There is also on websites, just no body reads them.

Microsoft decides to use Blink instead of the browser engine they already had.

The same things they offer now.

"Download Chrome because it's a better and faster browser!" It doesn't have to be true, people believe it anyway.

"Download Chrome because Edge doesn't support Youtube!" They totally didn't intentionally break Edge.

Is the issue that perhaps folks no longer have any conception of history because we are too bombarded with hyper-media and social media? My grandparents grew up on a farm in the great depression where it was common to have multiple siblings die of pneumonia, drowning or other maladies that are far less frequent. African Americans could not even vote until the 1960's in this country. For people to be so pessimistic today is fairly pathetic in my opinion. Humans have always evolved to adapt, work socially and creatively come up with solutions to huge problems from the last Ice age to the Nazis. People should move out of these horribly overpriced cities and get back to small, sustainable agriculture if they want to be happy. If you want a degree get one from a community college. Yeah we have huge problems to face today as many responders point out - specifically Climate Change, environmental destruction and income inequality. Remember in the 1940's we had to go face to face with the most evil empire the modern world has ever known along with our allies and most importantly Russia. I suggest folks toughen up a bit and know that things won't get any better without a steely resolve and working together.
The fragmentation between Edge on Mac sans IE11 vs Edge on Windows w/ IE11 mode will be very confusing.

How do you even market this? The whole point of IE11 is to ensure legacy IE compatible apps don't break. But then you can't advertise this with thought the huge caveat that it's a benefit on Edge Windows only.
I understand I'm just another random data point on the Internet you might decide not to trust, but I've received offers that exactly fall in the compensation bands of the website, specifically: Google L4 (~280k total comp), FB E5 (~390k total comp) and Netflix (~400k total comp). The years of experience for those roles (between 6 and 8) match as well. And I'm no genius at all, quite the opposite.

Public speaking holds a high risk of embarrassment in front of a crowd (although it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy). It’s telling that humans care more about risk to their image than risk to their bodies, as a major difference from most other less social species.

My experience with Ultem PEI was pretty solid I did do post processing mainly annealing: https://www.thomasnet.com/knowledge/annealing-of-ultem-pei-/

In a toaster over I hacked for temp control.

I also sand my parts and cover them with a protective epoxy (UV blocker).

For failure I’ve tested sheer and compression failures including in parts that where physically compromised e.g. by drilling screw holes or pressing in threaded inserts.

Unlike say ABS the failure was never across the layer lines and there was no layer separation or tearing if and when the parts broke they broke fairly cleanly.

Now this is for my specific application and use cases there could be stresses that could result in layer separation.

However I didn’t observed a significantly diminished z strength even when holes were drilled across the layer plain rather than just through it.

If you want to replace metal in general sintering or a lithographic process is likely going to be your best bet but FDM can work for many applications and you can always solve your material weaknesses in your design by for example altering the layer alignment across your design to ensure that the maximum strength is always where it’s need the most.

I beams are also much stronger in a specific direction but it’s not seen as a weakness but rather strength.
You are doing great. Life goals.

Maker here. We do some validation across salaries and take down obvious outliers as well as only include 1 standard deviation on our charts. We've found this filters out majority of the noise. We've talked to employees, hiring managers and compensation analysts at several well-known tech companies who have all said that our compensation data is likely the most accurate that is publicly available. We're working on items to ensure data validity even more in the coming months.
This must mean the fans aren’t powerful enough which seems strange if the house is reasonably modern. I once lived in a place with no proper duct to the outside at all (just a fan with a filter but recycling air) and in that place I avoided frying anything. If course no fan is perfect and if I’m frying something it will be noticeable in adjacent rooms, but I want the smell of cooking to be noticed in the house. It’s usually a positive thing. It does disappear again. If I hated it I’d rather buy a more powerful fan than have a kitchen door.

> I saw some of the most recent projections for global GDP impacts due to climate change and it was a fraction of US GDP. That's unfortunate, but much better than I thought. We will make it.

Read the assumptions behind those projections and get back to me. They are very, very conservative and should be read as a "best case scenario".

Ex:

- Economic growth is assumed as part of the model

- They look at the marginal economic cost of an additional very hot day today, look at the projected increase, and assume that the impact will scale linearly

Even those numbers are damning, and are put forth to help justify the cost of climate action. Reading them as "well that's not that bad" is just way off the mark.

> US CO2 emissions peaked in around 2007. Per capita CO2 in the US is the lowest it's been in 50 years. We're behind the EU in CO2 reduction, but it is going down.

Not nearly fast enough. Direction is correct, but magnitude is not nearly as big as it needs to be. Assuming that technological progress will make up the difference is magical thinking that the data does not back up.

You're hand-waving away what experts are saying based on a gut feeling of "it's not going to be that bad" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normalcy_bias). I recommend reading some papers, especially the NCA, and really sitting with what they say. https://nca2018.globalchange.gov/
