This doesn't excuse WeWork being excessively unprofitable but low or negative returns don't directly imply anything "Counterfeit".

I like to point out that low or negative real returns on stores of value have historically been the norm. Before financial systems existed, almost all investment had negative returns if you didn’t put work and energy into them. To store value, you had to accumulate stuff, buildings or land. Most options either had high maintenance costs, were subject to risk of damage from natural causes and theft, were very volatile or required hard labor to get production out of.

Even more recently, it has often been difficult to get low risk, hassle free, liquid, positive real returns. From a basic science perspective this seems to reflect the laws of thermodynamics that tell us that everything tends to decay without a constant supply of work and energy. In general, most things require maintenance to keep their worth.

The 20th century may have been an outlier. Because of unprecedented demographic and technological growth, positive risk free real returns on liquid assets were easy to find. It is possible that under favorable conditions, wealth can have positive returns and even compound into very good long run returns but it is not a guarantee and there is nothing natural about it. It may not continue forever, particularly amidst an aging and retiring population in a world no longer as rich in easy to exploit natural resources.

While people are used to get negative returns on very short term purchases, you buy fresh vegetables at the supermarket even if they degrade over time, they can’t seem to accept the normalcy of negative returns on longer term assets despite the tendencies inherent in the laws of physics. In nature, squirrels’ nut caches have a certain percentage of losses from theft and spoilage. Returns tending towards the negative are natural even if they can seem unusual for people just out of the 20th century.

Justify that "just"! To me there seems to be a huge practical difference between information about someone being online somewhere and that information being made available to anyone who types that person's name into a browser.

It would be a lot easier if newspapers could stop printing names of people who are not public figures. In some countries newspapers already don't do that. No doubt it's highly titillating for people to read about how AB was brutally raped and how XY has been arrested as a suspect (XY being released without charge the next day may or may not be considered newsworthy), but surely the story would be just as titillating without the names? Then we wouldn't have to argue about how to stop Google from indexing those names.
I find the amount of vitriol for this one person, now, suspicious. He ran the company this way (like a goofball) for years, none of this is a surprise.

I think if things had gone slightly differently and they held everything together long enough for the IPO to happen, he'd be considered a visionary instead of a crank.

I also take issue with the notion that the nature of capitalism has changed or degraded. The point has always been to make as much money as you can, and honestly, this guy played the game to the hilt. Some parties are clearly upset that it didn't work out for them as they expected, but if it had, they wouldn't be taking issue with the t-shirts or any of the other goofy stuff.

WeWork is really just a middle ground between a co-working space and a full blown office. Seems like a no brainer for someone to fill the space. If WeWork collapses I'm sure a dozen other companies will fill the space.
I just bought a monthly 1.1.1.1 + WARP subscription, and it's slow as hell. Maybe because I'm in Indonesia. But it works just fine with WARP disabled.

Another problem is 1.1.1.1 suddenly disconnected when I'm not browsing the internet, like watching videos or reading something on my phone.

Hope you guys fix these problems soon.
Look around you. Nobody is truly happy in life that you've ever met. Not consistently, not genuinely happy. When hard times come, most people buckle. The only people were the Saints. They were happy even during suffering. This is the power of Jesus. Like you said, many people pretend to be happy but are not. The Saints truly are.

And as if that wasn't enough testimony of Jesus's resurrection, consider the many miracles that attest to Catholicism. A significant number of undisputed miracles are attributed to the Saints, and Marian apparitions, and Eucharistic miracles, and intercessory miracles. Even in our times! Consider that in our own times, a woman was instantly and miraculously healed of a very deadly internal bleeding by crying out to John Henry Newman for his intercession. A baby dead for 61 minutes came back to life through the intercession of Fulton Sheen. These have been officially verified by medical professionals.

There is an overwhelming superabundance of proof for Catholicism. The only reason people make excuses to avoid looking into it is because they know what it means: real change. And they're afraid of change, because they have no faith that God is good and that God's changes to our lives will be good and that God wants good for us.

"For no one can draw near to God unless they believe that he exists, and that he rewards those who seek him." Many people believe one or the other, but few people have faith in both.

Hope you don't taken offence, but since you mentioned groceries I am curious what you think of something like a food bank?

About a month ago I started volunteering passing out groceries at one of those here in San Francisco. I don't know what the process is like for recipients, but I see the same faces come in each week, regular looking people, sometimes with family or children in tow, and they seem pretty well provided for with some good ingredients for the week.

He has some criticisms but he strays from seriousness with jabs like the one you point out. It sounds like me in high school being sarcastic in a juvenile way —it’s momentarily funny but totally detracts from the main story. In this case issues in self-dealing. In a small biz self dealing may be necessary and may be common practice. After all it’s all your money or your debt. But here it’s in conflict with fiduciary duty of a CEO.

I’ve found it really helpful to communicate and train funders to learn how to watch software being built. It takes time to teach someone to look at builds and tests and growing code and activity and demo releases. It also takes time to teach developers not to game this.

It’s amazing how much this helps build trust. It’s hard when there truly are big giant components that take a long time between commits and builds. But I think those are much rarer than programmers think and say.
If Typescript is adding 20% to your workload, I suggest spending a little more time getting used to it. When I first started writing TS, I agree it felt a bit cumbersome and it took some time to understand the nuances, but the time it's saved me in refactoring and catching errors I would have made without it has more than made up for it. I know this isn't really your main point, but I don't want anyone on the fence about TS to be scared off by that 20% figure.

I agree that "abelian" is often uncapitalized, but if that's a sign of respect, why is Gaussian (Gaussian elimination, Gaussian distribution, Gaussian process, etc) almost always capitalized? Or Hilbert space, Poisson distribution, Bernoulli trial, Cartesian coordinates, Euclidean distance?

It seems to me that Abelian goes uncapitalized because few people know about Niels Henrik Abel, and it should properly be capitalized.

A recipe can be a mantra, a ritual, a symbolic stay against chaos in the psyche and in the world

My story has very little connection with this one (which is quite thought provoking). It just had me thinking about how a simple recipe somewhat saved my own personal life (in a much more mundane way).

2 or so years ago I was tired of being a little overweight. I say this as someone who was an athlete for most of my life and in my 20s just developed the "usual I sit at a computer all day and drink beer at night" belly. I was self conscious and I just didn't feel great.

Anyways. I lost the weight. I didn't follow any fancy diets or doing anything complicated. I simply replaced my lunch with a fruit smoothie (usually just banana, milk and whatever berry I had) and then cut out drinking beer. Alcohol was still fine, but the single serving nature of beer vs. wine kept me from drinking a couple beers randomly. I drink a bottle of wine a week with my wife and enjoy it.

It very much became a routine, no different from my monthly vimrc cleanup. I didn't have to think about it, it just became part of who I was and took zero time. It helped that I'll admit I actually really enjoyed banana smoothies and wine. I could never do Soylent (I love my dinners!), but I understand people who entertain the idea of food as routine. Vacations I let myself go, which makes vacations even more exciting.

I don't think I'd have been able to keep to the routine without also working at a distributed company full-time. At previous jobs lunch was social, and after work drinks were social. I sometimes miss that stuff, but not really. My body feels better, which is great, but I know those hours just ended up back in my work (which to me was fine, I genuinely enjoy my work).
There are a bunch of relevant passages about this in Animal Farm, but I can't seem to find them at the moment.

For example-- that famous one where the hedgehog pornography tycoon runs an add in his magazine accusing one of the pigs of having sex with his own mom, and then is cleared by a panel of pig judges who rule that parody is protected speech.

Where is that passage in Animal Farm? Maybe I don't have the details correct, but I certainly remember reading a long passage where Orwell clearly establishes that a book of satire like Animal Farm itself would be allowed in the Animal Farm universe. I thought it was such a nice touch of optimism in an otherwise dreary book. (And if I remember correctly it was a welcome respite from those long boring passages of complicated libel case law in the animal world.)
From his post, the argument for putting lives at risk seems to be a false sense of security for apps using the OS resolver for DNS.
If people don't like you when you politely refuse them, they don't actually like you, they like for what they get from you.

"While Shannon worked in a field for which no Nobel prize is offered, his work was richly rewarded by honors including the National Medal of Science (1966) and honorary degrees from Yale (1954), Michigan (1961), Princeton (1962), Edin- burgh (1964), Pittsburgh (1964), Northwestern (1970), Oxford (1978), East Anglia (1982), Carnegie-Mellon (1984), Tufts (1987), and the University of Pennsylvania (1991). He was also the first recipient of the Harvey Prize (1972), the Kyoto Prize (1985), and the Shannon Award (1973). The last of these awards, named in his honor, is given by the Information Theory Society of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and remains the highest possible honor in the community of researchers dedicated to the field that he invented. His Collected Papers, published in 1993, contains 127 publications on topics ranging from communications to computing, and juggling to “mind-reading” machines."

Yes, the vaping deaths almost certainly are from black market, contaminated THC pods/cartridges.

But why let a few facts get in the way of perfectly good outrage?

Note: I'm not a smoker, but I feel strongly that vaping has the potential to dramatically decrease smoking deaths. More research is needed in lieu of the current media and government-driven hysteria.

> WeWork then used this cash to underprice competitors in the co-working space market, hoping to be able to profit later once it had a strong market position in real estate subletting or ancillary businesses.

> This is of course Amazon’s model, which underpriced competitors in retail and eventually came to control the whole market.

This is wrong, wrong, wrong. The difference is Amazon saw what the marginal costs could be, and had a specific roadmap to drive investment into bringing them down. WeWork fundamentally has no way to drive down the margin on real estate in any meaningful way. Especially as a lessee.

> The goal of Son, and increasingly most large financiers in private equity and venture capital, is to find big markets and then dump capital into one player in such a market who can underprice until he becomes the dominant remaining actor. In this manner, financiers can help kill all competition, with the idea of profiting later on via the surviving monopoly.

A bold assumption with no citations. There are just as many counterfactuals to this strategy as there are examples. The scooter market is an especially bad - there is so much capital from so many companies - if you were trying to establish monopolies that would be a bad bet.

> Endless money-losing is a variant of counterfeiting, and counterfeiting has dangerous economic consequences. The subprime fiasco was one example.

The subprime crisis is completely unrelated! And if anything it was proof that money-making assets should be scrutinized more.

WeWork is a garbage, charlatan company. But don't misunderstand what is happening here.

Part of the stupidity of filing a lawsuit against GNOME is that the awards are either statutory damages (pay what you should have paid before) or punitive damages (pay a higher price because you are willfully violating the patent).

If the court invalidates the patent, which is likely, GNOME and other free software projects can use that as a precedent in the future, which makes it harder for trolls to operate. The smart troll picks "soft targets" who will just roll over and pay.

If the court awards statutory damages, GNOME made no money because they sold no software, so it's possible the statutory damages ends up being less than the cost to litigate. The smart troll does not pick "zero-value targets" like GNOME.

If the court awards punitive damages, GNOME has very little revenue and may not be able to pay all the damages. The smart troll does not pick "poor targets" like GNOME.

This feels like a poorly-paid paralegal just shotgunned a bunch of suits and really, really screwed up.
Is there some dissonance when you say "reactionary American"? I am not certain whether you are showing some form of self-deprecating self-awareness or whether you are preemptively trying to make fun of a legitimate argument against your position. And for what is worth, plenty of Americans believe in the importance of rehabilitation (instead of punishment) - it is even supposedly what Christianity teaches, which seems to be pretty important in this country.

> I don't see how it's different from: if it's in a book somewhere I have the right to find and read it.

But you don't have that.

Even if it's published, copyright can interfere. If it's not published, you very much don't have that right.

There is no general-purpose right to know things about people.

It's by default fine if you find someone that wants to tell you something. But that doesn't itself make it okay to collate a database of information about millions of people.
When you wonder what something was 'made for', and the people who made it tell you why they made it, and then invest a lot of money and resources consistent with that reason, it seems bizzare to deny it.
>..the problem here seems more that nobody missed her for three days. So loneliness is the key issue here and an Apple watch will not fix that.

That's a problem, but I don't think that's the main takeaway from this story.

You could have a loving family and friends and still not be "missed for 3 days". 3 days are not big enough span of time for adults, in the grand scheme of things. E.g. if your wife is on vacation, or you/she work in another city, or have some deal going on, and you talk 1-2 times a week, it's easy for 2-3 days to slip by without anybody noticing you. Friends too might come by once a week or 1-2 times a month, and easily miss you for 3 days (that would already be more often than many people with close friends see them).

Heck, and even 1 day or even 2-3 hours would be enough for serious damage, if you weren't discovered after a fall/accident.

I've been riding motorcycles on the street since 1986. For many parts of my life, a motorcycle was my only vehicle (including a couple of winters in Hamilton, ON).

You realize that a billionaire has almost nothing to do with their money but invest it in better equipment or people? That's what investing is and that's what billionaires do with their money.

So on the front end the billionaire had to give more than a billion dollars of value to society in order to get people to voluntarily do business with them. Then on the back end they have to turn around and invest most of that money back into society. In doing so they're shouldering the burdens of market research, diligence, and risk.

Society wins twice from this and in return the billionaire gets to spend a lot of money. Society wins there, too, because the economy benefits from their ridiculous spending.

Does this work perfectly? Absolutely not, but nobody has a better system that I've seen.
