We have railroads. The three trips listed by the previous poster all include LAX. LA is surrounded by mountains. The train from LA to SF takes ten hours. The flight is one. California has been trying to build a high speed rail to connect LA to the Bay Area for a long time now, but it's projected to cost 30 billion dollars and the timeline is ridiculous. Last I understood, the project has been shelved indefinitely.

The most concerning thing about mass surveillance and mass manipulation isn't the direct impact to some hypothetical enemy of the state (although that is concerning, people in that situation are more or less a lost cause), it's that public discourse and democracy can be pushed around by some small controlling group.
Also the "WIN" network.
The fallacy is "post hoc, ergo propter hoc", in attributing these changes to Natella and not to changes in the industry.

I assume he's relating 1) the force of gravity, composition and distribution of our atmosphere, and incredible velocity required for orbit, to 2) the chemical potential of fuels and the limits of structural strength for materials to carry cargo to orbit.

I haven't run the numbers, but he's right: it's pretty hard to get something that can carry itself to orbit. It has to climb out of the atmosphere directly against gravitational force and atmospheric drag, and then as early as possible turn sideways and start accelerating to around 28000kph while making sure the rocket is pointed in the right direction and holding together. You need a lot of propellant to get to that state, which means you have to carry it around until you need it, which means the machine needs to be much bigger than just the cargo, which means that all of your challenges just magnified by many orders of magnitude.

It launders and legitimizes their privilege. Presidents and supreme court justices only come from a handful of schools. This is why Joe Kennedy, the most wealthy and famous Catholic in America in his day, had his kids go to elite WASP schools rather than somewhere Catholic that would lock them out of the ruling class. Then again going to Harvard didn't stop his sons from being assassinated, but one did manage to reach the presidency.
And locks those recordings away on Amazon’s servers, by default.
> It seems so counterintuitive to choose to inflict this kind of damage to oneself, in the hopes that it will prevent an even worse outcome.

Especially since the "worse outcome" -- your own non-existence -- is the one thing in the Universe you are guaranteed to never experience (though your loved ones can experience your non-existence, and that can be a good reason to try to avoid it).
My general view is that you can not make prostitution illegal without a explicit moral stand regarding people who have sex for money (or pay for sex).

Any regulation that tries to go the route and forbid jobs based on health risk would need to make a larger portion of the worked force in order to also cover legal prostitution.

We could also take a stand against wage slavery. The article articulate quite well how much of her life was punctuated on the need to raise money for rent and food. Countries like Norway and Sweden have social safety nets in place to prevent that, but even here people will accept risky jobs that they do not want to do in order to escape bare minimum living standard.
WSL is interesting and fun, but too uncanny valley for Linux development. I stick with VirtualBox.
I recently set up a ci system in Windows, spending over a month getting things working with various versions of visual studio, etc.

I tried with Windows 10, and widows server 2019. The end result was that Windows 2019 is super fast to set up, and literally compiled the same c code in half the time it took in Windows 10. The user interface was a lot snappier, and just felt nice, like how xp felt after disabling all the eye candy.

If it weren't for the insane pricing, server 2019 would be the ultimate windows os...

I used to have the same problem, but not when writing codes.

I love writing codes, and someday I was put in a lead/management position and the context switching between having to solve technical and managerial was giving me pain.

Then I allowed myself to make some mistake. Giving myself a sandbox to play in. That really helps.

I wonder how much this could be mitigated by extra-rocket energy delivered while the rocket is still close to the ground - e.g. a cartoonishly large slingshot.
Unless the union negotiates an exclusive hire contract with the company (very difficult unless the union controls most of the labor supply), you can simply not join the union.

I always find these things arguments a bit weird. Lets look at the concerns

> forcing me to pay dues

Don't join. No dues, no help from the union.

> demanding changes to the structure of the company

As an employee you have no say in the structure of the company and it may restructure at any moment. As a union member at least have some say in what the union pushes for. It seems like this is arguing for no control instead of some.

> devaluing my equity

How?

> making it impossible to fire poor performers that make my job harder.

Again how? A union can't stop a company from firing someone (barring contracts the company may have signed with the union). A union can assist the fired employee in things like negotiating severance, or mounting a legal challenge if the employee was discriminated against.

As someone who just witnessed a mass-layoff, I wonder how much better off the employees might be if they had someone on their side, negotiating severance, notice periods etc.

Everything a union does is paid for out of member dues. They don't have infinite resources to spend in constant legal battles challenging the clearly legal firing of a shitty employee, and if the did waste member dues like that, they'd quickly find themselves no members. If the union isn't representing your interests, just leave it. It'll quickly run out of members and money and become toothless.
I feel like we're missing a lot of context here. How much time does this school have between classes? How long are their classes? And, are there any actual consequences for losing points?
Open Collective is an alternative to 501(3)(c) for some orgs.

I wonder if an Open Collective -esque model could work for employees as an alternative to unions?

I applaud the benefits that early unions brought to workers, but what have they done lately(as in decades) I. Terms of creating/capturing value?

My experience with unions was an an employee of Amazon.com in the 90’s and witnessing the horrible things WashTech and it’s supporters did to my staff in a failed attempt to gain access to Amazon distribution centers.

It would be cool if there was a very light digital network model by which employees could collectively engage with company management/leadership.

As well as far less adversarial, more akin to collaborative labour/leadership relationship as found in Germany.
I think some of my confusion here was related to some notable youtubers misusing the term to mean a roll-on-heading exercise. When I wrote my last question, I was thinking "there's too much, or an unpredictable amount of adverse yaw", but I now understand the problem as "the aircraft enters a self-reinforcing oscillation in response to certain poorly coordinated control inputs", which doesn't sound like a good thing at all.

Thanks for all your input in this discussion. I find both flight in general and the case of the 737 MAX fascinating. Previously the implementation of MCAS sounded absolutely insane to me, but I can mostly understand how they got there after reading your comments.

...and from what I can tell, their online account security is craptastic.

Here’s a true story that happened to my family. My son is the only person in the house who uses Windows. For his game machine. He set up a Microsoft online account. It got hacked - someone set up a fake family and managed to get my son’s account listed under it as a child. As a consequence, he couldn’t install any new software. I’m not sure what the point of this particular hack is, but that was the result.

So we called Microsoft customer service. It turns out that there is no way to get an account removed from a family once it’s listed there. The Windows rep we talked to had a recourse, though. He proposed that we, the three of us, attempt to reverse-hack the fake “dad”’s account over the phone by trying to guess his password. I had to explain to the gentleman that, even though we were within our moral rights to do this, a) it was almost certainly illegal, and b) doomed to failure.

He didn’t understand the issue. Eventually we had to agree to disagree, and hang up on him. We never got my son’s account back. We wiped his computer and installed Windows via “use offline account”. I’m glad this was last year and not today, I guess?
As someone who uses Windows for industrial PCs, I'm pretty appalled.

We've been hanging on to Windows 7, including side-loading drivers into the installation image for modern hardware, because this kind of stuff that Windows 10 does is in these cases simply unacceptable (random tip: Go for AMD, their Windows 7 support is way better than Intel, do not use Intel chipset series 300).

I can't have PCs bogged down downloading updates or randomly restarting when they're controlling endurance test rigs designed to run 24/7.

Driver issues with Linux, no real vendor support and (believe it or not) stability was the reason Windows prevailed in these applications. And MS threw that all out the window.

Oh well, I'd get paid to rewrite the control software in Linux, I'm not really complaining, I just hope there's enough driver support (looking at you, National Instruments...).
Windows is also the OS that doesn't require relatively expensive hardware(MacOS barring hackintosh) and doesn't require that much fiddling(Linux).

It's basically the good enough option that most people would use.
If you're going to pirate, might as well pirate Windows Server, which is basically the same kernel with a far less offensive (and bloated) userland configuration.

"It's pretty difficult to start making good decisions and dedicate all of your free time to educating yourself when you've busted your ass all day, you're tired, and you still have shit to do. This bootstraps mentality just ignores reality."

I'm thinking about the big picture: preventing someone from getting in that situation in the first place, rather than trying to fix every individual case that's happening now.

The bootstrap reality doesn't ignore reality. You can always find some spare time to learn something new.

"So how is someone who works bent over 40 hours a week going to have the physical and mental energy and the money to learn to be a welder on his own?"

We all have free time, even if you are busting your ass. Most people don't work on the weekends. It takes sacrificing your free time and forcing yourself to stay motivated, to succeed.

None that are widely used. What you're suggesting has no advantage over the existing approach and would significantly reduce the speed at which practitioners can read and write mathematical expressions. This is somewhat evident in your example of sin() and cos(). Even in situations like the trig functions where concepts aren't represented with special sigils (because there are too many of them and it would be silly), they are abbreviated in standard ways.

sine -> sin()

cosine -> cos()

tangent -> tan()

cotangent -> cot()

secant -> sec()

hyperbolic sine -> sinh()

hyperbolic cotangent -> coth()

etc.
Or a comically large refueling hose hooked up until it hits orbit. I guess in that case you'd probably be fighting gravity even more trying to push fuel up the hose.
> The word carries too much baggage and for many discussions there are better, more precisely defined terminology to use.

Such as?

This seems to me more like a simple issue of the meaning of a term being dependent on the context. "Science" is not a term with a single, rigorous definition.

> When I see the word "science" being bandied about, I take it that the person is NOT understanding what they are trying to discuss or do NOT have any ability to discuss the subject in a clear and precise manner.

This is a weakness on your part. Unless your idea of science is at least somewhat compatible with, say, what Feyerabend described in Against Method, you may have a romantic and unsubstantiated view of science, which could be dismissed just as easily as your dismissal of those that bandy about the word "science."

I've come to love coder.com (port of VSCode), I created a container on proxmox with a base install so I can create environments for any project. C9SDK is also a very solid choice it just isnt as stable as coder.com, lacks many features, and doesnt have the VSCode hype.

Solution: push remote work as a housing crisis solution.

Remote work allows the people to place themselves in better, affordable places, while helping companies get the best from all over, rather than bound to a physical location.

This works unless the companies/investors are doing a dual strategy of having real estate that they collect on while having their companies located in them that they are investing in. So a big part of the investment never leaves the building. I suspect a large part of Silicon Valley has a scheme like this, investors are usually real estate investors as well, they like people concentrated in areas and supply/demand to benefit them.

The other bigger wage absorber right now is healthcare tied to a job. When healthcare goes up, wages are diverted into healthcare and healthcare and housing have teamed up to sap all wage growth in actual dollars in pockets of consumers,. 'Real compensation' or 'total compensation' doesn't go into cashflow/liquid assets at the individual level and means nothing to consumer spending power which needs to go to housing and life.

> Some of them have fiduciary responsibility to not add/change/upgrade software without carefully testing it first.

While that makes a lot of sense will it remain a requirement if/when it's simply not a choice with any major vendor?

Can smaller vendors still provide that choice and meet all the necessary certificates that such industries often also require?

(Serious question, not trolling.)
I can confirm that's the case, just did this last week.

Hear me out: assuming we have some kind of freedom and actually choose to work at a company and we're not slaves --

We are investing the vast majority of our efforts on work, even 8 hours per day, not to mention most of our productive moments and brain cycles. Our immediate family comes a distant second in many cases

If the people we work with mean nothing to us, how can we justify investing so much of our best selves with them? What does that mean for our so called loved ones whom we sacrifice continuously? Are we sacrificing them for people we hardly care about? That means we hardly care about them even less!

The only way this works is if we actually care about the people we work with and the mission of the company, otherwise stay home
I am! I reckon it's a neat OS. They've improved it dramatically (except for that... Candy Crush auto install, that is annoying).

Most people initially deployed php via CGI in my experience. I don't remember when mod_php arrived, but we'd been using PHP for quite some time at that point.

While CGI was slow-ish, alternatives like fastcgi were already around (and in fact running PHP via fastcgi was also quite common for a while.

By the time PHP became ubiquitous, most people had moved away from plain CGI regardless of language.

The point is that shaw understands how much luck plays a role in everything that happens. (This is why most of the money in his firm in treasury bills, and even those are disrupted by negative interest rate).

He is extremely risk-averse, even with all of his money.

Hence, if you judge his action trough the lanes of risk minimization, it will all make sense.

Then, and I don't know of a nice way to say this, the systems you design, build, and deliver are going to be unreliable and flawed.

Owning (as in caring about and as in business responsibility) the reliability and operation of systems you build, at least for a while after they stabilize, is critical if you want to produce quality products. After all, operational flakiness is a UX issue.
If you mean Steve Wozniak, he's a great engineer, but he's not charismatic like Steve Jobs, and that's part of why he kind of faded into the background. Most people know who Steve Jobs is, but not Steve Wozniak.
Check out the VS Code SSH remote, if your internet is good enough or if you have a spare computer lying around, you can develop as if it's 'on the desktop' but you get none of the friction and all of the bare metal speed, I switched from terminal VIM a few years ago and the intellisense makes it worth it. There is a VSVim plugin that is... pretty good if you haven't gone too far down the VIM rabbit hole (my usage was and still is pretty basic).
While your observation is true to some degree, I do remember ASP, Cold fusion, CGI and a few other more obscure technologies way back when.
