> The crashes where in Indonesia and Ethiopia and those planes weren’t under the jurisdiction of the FAA

To avoid requiring every plane be certified in every jurisdiction, regulators have agreements that let them rely on others' certifications. The 737 MAX wasn't independently by the Indonesian Ministry of Transportation; instead, they relied on the FAA to do its work. The failure is thus in the FAA's court.

I did something similar as a kid, but not on accident. Parents would take us for 1-2 weeks to a cabin with kerosene lamps no electricity, no running water. It was usually ok, but there was one trip where it rained nonstop for the week. I cannot forget that boredom, you can only play cards and read for so long before you start to lose it.

I suppose our pre-electricity ancestors had deeper social lives with the people around them, and a stronger connection with the outdoors, but for those who lived in climates that required frequent shelter holy cow they must have been bored out of their skulls.
If remote work proponents want remote work to become a thing, downvoting the parent into oblivion doesn't make their case to the managers and Marissa Mayers out there who are against it. Address the concerns that some people are far more productive on-site. Pretending it's a non-issue doesn't help and it is often not an easy thing to police.

It's not as simple as "don't hire/work with those people" either, because we don't always have full control over that.

This statement is so false. US is already pressing to spend idotic amounts of money for military budged.

Next time in NYT: Germany has too much debt. Us rating agency about to drop rating...
Because of sectoral balances[1]. If the public sector doesn’t issue debt, then the private sector can’t accumulate financial assets modulo exports. This is why, incidentally, the Germans want a devalued Euro. Unfortunately we can’t all be net exporters, so Germany is basically defecting in an iterated game.

It's worth it, if ISPs aren't ripping users off. Gigabit for $70 without caps is already pretty high but OK price. Anything higher is probably fishy. Hopefully rapid deployment of low orbit satellite ISPs will seriously pressure incumbents, and prices will become normal for high bandwidth plans. Then they'll be surely worth it.
More data processing than CI/CD. But really all infrastructure config should be versioned. Can you version an AWS Lambda config? I'm genuinely asking.
Yes, it's extremely locale specific. When dealing with different cultural contexts, it's easy to make both sides vaguely uncomfortable and confused.

We all have a set of social tools that are used towards specific ends, and we have specific responses imagined. When the responses are far outside our expectation, we get viscerally uncomfortable and have to work to adapt-- and usually do so imperfectly.

Ever see the stereotypical interaction-- where person A from a culture where you stand closer to talk talks to person B, who expects a longer distance? It's relatively common to see person A occasionally take a step towards person B, and person B occasionally step backwards and over a 15 minute conversation they back down the hall--- I'm sure both people are subtly uncomfortable and probably don't even consciously understand why.
You must mean steam engine.
The problem facing service station operators is that they can't charge a premium for gas when the power fails, to offset the cost of installing generators. It's seen as "gouging". So there is no incentive to prepare.

The meager profit margins on gas sales are not enough.
That would require NFC support in the first place. Just imagine: all flagship tablet models of Samsung do not ship with NFC. What kind of nonsense is that?!
> Once you leave the office for the day (or leave the house to go to the office) then the logistical problems start (where do I find an affordable place to live.)

Ironically I spend most of my time wondering about this WHILE living inside the big city and how my money would go so much further and I'd be far happier on quiet land somewhere than packed like sardines with tons of foot and car traffic constantly looking down 15 blocks for "an affordable place to live" where I have to give a days notice about moving in before it's scooped up by someone else..
Indeed, I moved to Finland. If you ask a Finnish person "How are you?" they will answer, and would expect you to do so too. If you don't care you don't ask.
I've started working in Mexico City as a European software engineer. My job offers 100% remote work and that allows me to work from anywhere. My home includes a girlfriend and her incidental home office, so I went searching for office space for myself, thinking it would be affordable in CDMX. There are like 7 WeWork locations and tons of other state of the art places to work. But for a private office sized to place one desk chair I'd be paying well over €500 euros per month. And it won't be a corner office, it'll be a glass-surrounded cubicle without a view.

So, instead, I went to look on AirBNB. I could rent a full apartment for about the same amount of money, except this would come with a view, with a couch, a shower, kitchen, weekly cleaning service, and all kinds of nice things.

But I kept on looking. There are numerous extremely luxurious buildings in the city where middle to high class people live. And a lot of them have rooms for rent. So I considered my own office room inside an apartment I share with 2 others. I can lock the door and I get 2 pets for free.

Best of all: The building is only 2 years old. They have a full sized gym on the 22nd floor, 7 swimming pools of which 2 olympic sized ones and 2 infinity pools, free saunas, free yoga and spinning lessons every day, a bowling alley and gaming hall, an indoor soccer field, et cetera.

So I took that. The building even comes with integrated office rooms and a full floor with couches and desks and tables and ping-pong tables and table-tennis tables and a grand view of the city. So it's not like they're against people working from there.

The problem with WeWork is that they aren't that interesting, not even in cities that are more expensive. The credits you get only allow you to switch locations until they run out, and then you need to purchase new ones for a lot of money.

They should really do a few things:

1. Look at the area they're in, at the very least be cheaper than AirBNB when it comes to offering a space to work from.
2. Once someone is a member, allow them to work from ALL WeWork locations (in the public areas). No credits cost, nothing.
3. On the website, per location, clearly show how crowded it is and how crowded it is expected to be that day.

They're way too expensive for what amounts to a crowded and noisy library. At least in a library people are expected to keep quiet so you can work. At WeWork I've been told you're to expect people coming up to you.

Side note: WeWork might be a great choice for companies who want to rent their first office space. That's not something I looked into.
Just curious - do you (or anyone else reading) ever feel resentful that you're the one who's expected to act in a way that makes no sense to you, instead of the other way around? I'm not sure if I'm on the same spectrum as you, but I'm definitely peculiar in some ways (OCD at least). After enough years of doing what makes sense to me and not fitting in as a result, I can't help but feel resentful at times at the idea that I'm the one with the problem.
I've been using Mercurial and git for a long time and I have to say git's workflow is a lot better. Mainly Mercurial doesn't let me pull or do other stuff with outstanding changes, for no apparent reason other than that the author wanted it that way.

> Are you implying that people buy iPhones because Apple stops them from sideloading apps? Because I don't think that's true at all.

I'm glad that this attack vector is not realistic for my iPhone. I'm also glad that my relatives won't accidentally(?) install a sideloaded malware too. That's why I kinda like app signature checks in MacOS too.

I don't want to deal with calls asking me to help with their computer. When 1 hour in they remember they clicked on something in a suspicious website.

I guess they kinda like their computers and phones working without interferences for years too. Makes family events better too :)
Video conferencing is a problem that cannot be solved with software alone. I like to call it the 'last meter problem', as video conference issues are almost always caused by crappy consumer grade equipment.

Wireless routers are the biggest culprit. Convince people to use a wired connection and be amazed how much better video conferencing suddenly becomes.

If public schools worth worth a darn, there would be no/little demand for private schools or charter schools.

Public schools are like they cable company. They claim they can only compete if they have an absolute monopoly.

Public schools are dying because public schools are trash. Time to stop throwing our money at that cesspool.
Agree with this observation. This might simply be a burn-off effect. Consider a simple model. Fact one: Obesity is disproportionately concentrated in the less-educated. Fact two: Urbanization is disproportionately concentrated in the highly-educated.

Well, what we would see over time is faster rising obesity in rural areas than urban areas. But that's simply a manifestation of the sorting effect. The underlying populations (the educated vs. uneducated) have not fundamentally changed, just relocated.

Without considering this we might be spuriously fooled into misunderstanding the causality of obesity. Under this model, rural living itself has absolutely nothing to do with rising obesity. It's merely serving as a proxy for a more important variable.
I think you're proving my point that Medium needs to clarify their brand. They are actually doing all the things you mentioned.

Here's what I can see them doing.

1. You can't get distributed by their algorithm if your article has blatant sales or a call to action.

This removes the incentives for a lot of content marketers. Medium literally has a human read and filter every article behind their paywall. That's thousands of articles every day. It's not very sophisticated, but it's good enough to push back on most of the marketing pieces.

2. Medium's promotion algorithm relies heavily on their Topic feature and topics are all manually curated by editors.

Topics, i.e. Programming, Data Science, etc, trigger most of Medium's distribution paths. They get an article promoted to people in the app and they get the article in the mix to be promoted over email.

3. Medium's Owned & Operated pubs (their term for their internally run ones) do very heavy story edits.

A copy edit is when you do light grammar and spelling and occasionally wording changes. But a story edit goes much deeper often taking several hours. Many of these articles are original commissioned pieces, but I know Medium often "elevates" (their term) an article from the general platform. Here's an example of how deeply an elevated article gets edited:
https://twitter.com/tonystubblebine/status/11533445070871633...

4. Medium is increasingly paying for copy editing

I run two publications that do copy edits. They are my copy editors, but are paid for by Medium. These pubs are community aggregators, i.e. they publish a lot. I think there's some value in this even though I know the highest quality articles require a lot more time and editing. Anyway, we copy edit about 500 articles a month.

5. Medium is experimenting with paying for external story editors.

I think my original pub, Better Humans, is the only partner publication they have that gets paid to do a story editor. We have someone with subject matter expertise spend 4-5 hours on each piece reading each sentence for "is this true?" and "could someone follow this advice?" And we do all the normal editing things like sending a piece back for revisions.

---

In sum, I think Medium is trying to have it both ways.

One way is a high volume of "better than the rest of the internet" content. That's how my two new pubs operate. We just want to clean them up and filter out the worst ulterior marketing motives. But we are definitely volume first.

And then in a different dimension, they want to have prestige publications that feel must-read. I think this dimension is much harder, but it looks like they'll get there. (And I know they want to).
Half of these is the Red Hat business model.
I'm talking about versioning infrastructure. So let's say you have a setup with a load balancer, three compute VMs and two database instances. You modify the config to make it three compute VMs and three database instances, but suddenly something goes wrong! Can you roll back your infrastructure easily?

Especially when there's nothing about "not being in debt" in Germany. They have barely gotten a "no new debt" once, but that's also with a lot of book keeping (i.e. the bank bail-out doesn't count etc). Germany is heavily indebted on all levels, federal, state, and county.
The ECB has been "printing money" like crazy for the last decade. Inflation in Germany is between 1 and 2 percent. Why is that a problem? If you've saved some money it's already eating up about 1% (or more) on an annual basis since you don't get any interest anymore.

Money has had a value until 2008. Then somehow the rules were rewritten and now you are getting penalized for saving so you can later invest. This doesn't make any sense.

> In 1859 the US Secretary of War, Jefferson Davis, strongly favored the southerly railroad route from New Orleans to San Diego: it was shorter, had no major mountains to traverse, and had lower operational costs due to lack of snowfall to clear from the tracks. However, in the 1850s no Congressman from a northern state would have voted for a southerly railroad route to aid the Confederacy's slave-based economy, and no Congressman from the south would have voted for a northerly route.

I feel like this overlooks the other main reason to prefer a northern route - the north was where most of the people and industry were. The midwest and northeast were much denser than the southeast, and it was important for railroads to serve industrial hubs like St. Louis and Chicago, which had onward connections to the northeast. A San Diego-New Orleans Route is "shorter" only if you overlook the extra 850+ miles to get from New Orleans to Chicago, plus the additional travel within California (probably by ship). There are good reasons to prefer the northern alignment that was chosen, and Jefferson Davis' motivation was just as political as the northern Congressmen who opposed the southern alignment.

They want you to buy the business product / enterprise product then. I know it sucks to be in the power user category, but part of the reason they have such limited upload channels is to prevent their networks for being used exactly how you want to use it. They don't want people running servers, they want your money to upgrade to an enterprise level service.
This can be a real problem in situations where you simultaneously work on two or more projects that have different managers. If they aren't part of an obvious command chain then it can be hard to find someone who can make the prioritisation call. Resulting in extreme pressure on you if they refuse to back down. It is even more challenging if the two managers don't get on / actively work to frustrate the other. It seems very common in matrix-managed organisations where multiple command chains are the norm.
Anecdotally, I feel like young, ambitious people are the most likely to leave rural / suburban areas for cities.

If the younger, more health-conscious folks are likelier to leave, it makes sense the people left behind are older and less healthy.

Fair enough, I was actually unaware that you could subscribe to prime separately, but it makes sense. Either way, the GP did mention specifically "100 million US subscribers", in which case those are all people who get it for free with their Prime subscription, compared to Netflix who are people subscribing specifically for the content.

Once again, there is a difference between sovereign debt and personal / corporate debt. Subprime mortgages are subprime because the debtor has a risk of default, the US prints it's own currency, issues debt in its own currency, has some of the strongest institutions in the world, and controls the global reserve currency. The risk of default is essentially nil. When governments spend money on infrastructure and health / education the ROI is positive.
Source Depot is very similar to Perforce since sd started as a p4 fork.

Incidentally, I remember one person at Microsoft who claimed to be involved in the decision to adopt sd circa 1999 saying that Microsoft has the right to turn sd into a product if it so chooses. (He/she was responding to contrary claims made on an internal email mailing list which was very widely read, so I assume if he/she was misremembering or lying he/she would have been called out.) Though ultimately MSFT made VSTS/TFS version control instead, which has striking resemblances in concepts to sd/p4.
Is it different in the US? in the UK (London) it is literally like 25% (£1000+) more expensive than just renting a "normal" (nice) office. Couple that with the "noob" factor of having clients or whoever walking into a big "WeWork" labelled building, and i just simply don't get why people do this. The offices and facilities in most of them also look like glorified cafes. If it was dirt cheap i'd get it, but at the moment i'm just at a loss. What are you paying for?
Is course material at business schools for leaders?
Agreed, And I've been asked the latter in a variety of contexts. In many cases it was more of a door that the manager was opening, and I've had full discussions with them about not wanting to take my career or skill focus that direction. Boundaries in a working relationship are as important as in any other relationship. If you don't set them many people will not think further about using you up completely. And then you can say goodbye to getting vacation when you want/need it.

If they're just using it to passively assert something and come across as the "good guy" rather than directing that they need me to do something for X reason, I've always considered that to be on them. I like being spoken to like an adult. Sure I don't need full context depending on my role, but if you need something done and I'm the only available or most reasonable resource then just tell me what you need.
