There are a couple of ways of looking at the question of workweeks.

One is this, which lends to individual pondering. Could I do as much in half the the me? Would I still get paid as much? Etc.

Another is systemic. Could society radically cut hours? Would everyone still get paid?

Both really come down to efficiencies, and negotiating who gets rhe returns on these efficiencies.

Imagine, for example, that as omnipotent king you clean up patent law such that identical results are achieved with 1/10 as many lawyers. Let's go ahead and do something similar in contract law. I imagine a god-king could reduce the required admin work by >50% in financial services.

We could also throw in world peace. That makes all military and adjacent industry obsolete.

Other markets do this regularly, often via technology. We need far fewer people that make far more food and clothes, for example.

Some of those efficiencies have gone into making more/better stuff. A little has gone towards reduced work hours. Most of this "spare" capacity,though, has gone into other things... often administrative/white-collar.

It's notable that healthy economies generally have >90% employment as a stable rule. We, as a society, seem to fill out time with work... and in aggregate it doesn't seem related to the amount of work that needs to be done.

Like ⌹? I wonder what it means. There's all these APL symbols in Unicode and I don't understand what they mean. But they never look serious enough to make me want to learn the language. I guess the modern APL character soup is Haskell where people can propose (but never implement) something like ⟦ xx ∋ yy ⟧ which looks vastly more serious and any stranger can immediately grasp its meaning, a trait shared with every ascii alphabet soup programming language in the world.

Yes it still works.
Don’t screen; how can you? Principle of least access.
will 5hour workdays or 4day workweeks in the US be considered more productive than china's 996?
since China produces a lot more than the US right now, how will this change once the US produces even less? will 996 be replaced by these new models any time soon?
and will this European/American tendency to work less mean that other countries will simply leapfrog them in terms of innovation and productivity?
No, electricity can't be routed to nowhere, that's not how the grid works. The amount produced and the amount used have to stay in balance.

There is a bit of leeway in that turbine power stations will run a little bit slower or faster depending on exact use (resulting in a grid frequency a little bit faster or slower than 50Hz) but the difference has to be made up quickly.

(not an expert, this is badly remembered from Internet articles so probably hurts to read for real experts, I'm sorry. But I hope I got the gist sort of right.)
Agreed, anti-trust action seems in FB's future - FB called this tactic "the Switcheroo" internally:

> Initially, Zuckerberg promised developers that they would be able to operate on a level playing field with Facebook, before quietly removing their access to mission-critical application programming interfaces (APIs) – a plan dubbed the Switcheroo – once the company had grown its user base, the documents reveal.
It’s a topic about espionage and exerting power and cash to silence critics, two subject that Israel is globally known to excel at.

That has nothing to do with Judaism. Most people don’t claim it does.
I guess most people just dilute the effective 2-3 hours of work in 8 hours, to seem busy without getting overworked...

E.g. I would be happier if I could work fully focussed for 3-4 hours and then go home, instead of working at a slow pace for 8 hours so I don't get tired after 4.
Why would I change my online behavior? I hope one day Google learns enough about me to start showing me relevant ads. Or maybe be even personalized search results? One can dream...
Is it possible you have cause and effect reversed? I received this as "learning to code well can also teach good communication skills"
Your processes are broken if an individual needs to query hundreds of accounts for private information a day. That is a gigantic problem in itself.

Support tickets can be exempt because they’re initiated by user interaction.
Yes that is the point.
Someone replied to the tweet mentioning exactly that, but she seems pretty sure that it's fraud. I'm closer to believing her because I'd bet the original authors would challenge her if called out incorrectly.
> the literal adam and eve

You're quoting Pius XII, which died in the 50s. Since at least the 80s the Church[1] accepted that evolution is a thing, and I don't think anybody claimed Adam and Eve really existed. There was a symposium in '86, writings by Joannes Paulus II in the 90s, and more.

[1] yes, it is not a homogeneous group, I personally know people that believe I A&E and that evolution is "just a theory, not a fact". But that's the individual opinion of some priests and believers, not the official position.

When did AR become what you describe? I stopped at AR being overlaying data on top of the things you actually see - i.e. there's no "real world video feed", just semi-transparent displays.

I'm not sure what's going to happen first - technology to do proper AR like this, or fast enough, high-resolution (both spatial and color) enough cameras and displays being available to do the "AR via VR" option.

Historically South Australia has generally had the most expensive electricity in Australia.

The Australian Energy Minister, Mr Frydenberg has even placed some of that blame on the SA Government's and it's "self-inflicted wounds" on deciding to transition away from coal to clean energy.

However, in the article above has there is a link to this page:

https://reneweconomy.com.au/south-australia-had-lowest-cost-...

which states:

The renewable energy state of South Australia recorded the lowest prices in Australia’s main grid in October, a month when it sourced well over half of its it's electricity supply from wind and solar.

That would suggests that transition to clean energy is working out just fine.
What, how? Increase the voltage and damage people's electronics?
The reason for net metering (other than it being a cheap hack to take advantage of just rewinding a standard power meter) is that the energy from the houses is valuable to the grid in lots of ways (e.g. in reducing peak generation and transmission demand).

It doesn't ignore those costs you mention, it just also doesn't ignore the benefits. In some jurisdictions the benefit exceed the money the householders are being paid (it varies depending on how dirty the grid is, when peak load happens etc.).

For whatever reason, like negative prices, this attack on net metering appears to resonate well with people who don't like renewables, but it's just a talking point from utilities who see the ability to increase their own profit by taking but not paying for that benefit via political shenanigans.

Apparently the idea that electricity can be differently valuable at different times of the day or year is something that ordinary people are insulated from, so paying an average seems normal, but getting paid an average seems crazy. But it's not something being argued against from a wider economic standpoint of efficiency, as it is literally a good thing, that's why people proposed it in the first place and continue to support it.
I agree: I do not master C++ value categories, but I am pretty sure there are a few errors. And you don't get to understand much anyway. Does anybody know some better writeup on the subject? It is probably the biggest core C++ topic that I still have to properly digest.
Because it feeds the world through a camera onto a flat sheet of glass, instead of being a translucent surface onto which computer-generated images are projected.
Yes - it's the opposite of "Deathlok" a fictional character, a hero, of a dead person able to remain "alive" with the aid of cybernetics.

LifeLock seems to imply "locking" live people into the cybernetic structure, if one bases ones thinking on that prior art.
Strange that the history itself is not used for the classification.
> while there's an IQ requirement of some kind for a person to understand and appreciate what's going on spatially with AR.

Could you expand on this, please? I didn't realise this was a significant concern until now.
Actually I reckon it would be an easy technical change - it’s almost a find and replace (I think)! Emotionally, I don’t think people, in general, would handle it well though. The Python 2 to 3 was mostly because it was not possible to automatically convert from the former to the latter

With all due respect but it looks like a trimmed down copy-paste from cppreference. I dont think they are original themselves, but they don't pretend to be imho. Maybe it's just the same source.

Information-wise it's nothing more and slightly less. So I'd suggest checking the other source.

They have been working on AMD support, see for example: https://github.com/mozilla/rr/issues/2034

The problem is that AMD CPUs have lots of bugs in their performance counter implementation. Intel CPUs don't have those bugs. With newer generations of AMD CPUs, AMD has fixed some of these bugs, but others remain.

I wonder why AMD hasn't stepped up to get involved in this project. There might be nothing that can be done with currently shipping silicon, but at least AMD could make sure that on their future silicon it all works. Fixing their performance counter bugs would likely benefit other projects as well.
Indeed, for noise and cost reasons I'd just got with a single socket. Any decent case with 2x140mm in front and 1x140m in back should easily handle a single socket quietly.

All this sort of stuff is claimed under Manufacturing Consent. Chomsky's point is often why don't we hear about these other incidents .. because the news isn't balanced and the government is trying to fashion a narrative and they use the media to do this by selectivly choosing what we hear and see.

Can you enter BEL, NUL, line feed, and " in a bytestring literal, and if so, can a person seriously say with a straight face that 0x5c 0x6e is mathematically and physically identical with 0x0a.

Reminds me of Microsoft's Elevation of Privilege card game, although this one was obviously designed with tongue-in-cheek. Still, everyone ought to click through a few excuses and think whether they are relevant to the systems we maintain.

I also built https://github.com/edhelas/atomtopubsub/ a while ago :)

Because XMPP Pubsub is basically a container for anything an https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0277.html already fully standardize the presence of Atom 1.0 in XMPP it's super easy to publish standard RSS/Atom feeds to XMPP and enjoy fully real-time, decentralized news system.

There is no need to "fake" an ActivityPub account or edit your articles content, the feeds (called Communities) can be managed with roles, subscriptions and many other features and the articles are basically standard Atom elements (like you can find on your average HTTP Atom feed, the container changes, the content stays the same).

All those things are already standardized for years (Pubsub is there since 2002, Microblog since 2008) and implemented in the main XMPP servers.

If you want to check things client side, I'm working on Movim that implements all those things already https://movim.eu/.

Here is the XKCD feed on XMPP Pubsub https://nl.movim.eu/?node/comics.movim.eu/XKCD and our Movim Blog https://nl.movim.eu/?node/pubsub.movim.eu/Movim (notice the likes, the comments, the edited content, the rich content)…

I'm surprised to see that there's no other commenters who read this as a metaphor for managing a company.

Communicating the main goals to engineers (take me to London) is essential. The engineers might not know where, or even what "London" is. Pointing the horse's head in the right direction and saying "go" is all you need to do to make progress in the right direction. Micromanaging every leg movement, or telling the horse to use a bicycle is counterproductive (Agile! Jira! Confluence! Monday! Whatever the latest trend is!) If the horse teaches itself to ride a bicycle (engineers choose a system because they need it) then that does reduce the control that management has. Is that a bad thing if it still gets you to London faster?
I've used Typora and enjoyed it, but I've learned that I really dislike this abstracting away of the Markdown. I'm glad it exists though — and it's a really excellent product for those who enjoy this feature.

Thanks for the find! The second comment to the first answer says:

"The equilibrium temperature of the connected panel should be slightly lower than the disconnected panel, because those hole recombinations introduce heat. But the efficiency is only something like 12% to begin with. So the temperature difference isn't like the difference between a white and black surface. More like the difference between a dark and slightly darker surface"
No, because they’re dead. Withered on the vine.
If I remember correctly there are rules that the estimated demand and actual generation have to match pretty closely and the overage can only be within a few percent tolerance. You're not allowed to just generate electricity that there isn't demand for.
Innocent until proven guilty is for the US courts though. Real life operates by a different principle -- use your eyes and don't f* up.

There are accusations that a teacher sexually molested somebody, but the investigations never went anywhere; do you hire that teacher? I don't think parents are about to blame you for not hiring that teacher.
I think my hardest thing to debug wasn't really a bug at all. It was having to clean up some legacy code I'd inherited and one function which was a bottleneck had a few hundred lines of horribly complicated code with lots of calculations which didn't make sense to me. It took a lot of time to figure out that the calculations were wholly unnecessary. The results of the calculations either got discarded or unconditionally overwritten. In the end, the refactoring consisted of a single press of the "delete" key, but building up the confidence to press it was what cost a lot of time and effort.

Is that really that unusual though? Can you think of a situation where not asking the FBI to not follow you around the house would be reasonable?

And why would the FBI assume he was typing the invoice? If you ask me for certain documents I actually possess, depending on the document I might be gone 10 to 15 minutes as well, or even outright say that I need to find it first, I'll bring it to <X>.
So increased inequality on a local level is good as long as the global average goes down? I thought the idea was to make _everyone's_ lives better.

I am of the opinion that internet would be a much saner place if advertisement was purely and simply banned.
Another thing to bear in mind is that people who commit espionage are often coerced into doing it by blackmail or threats. This is one of the primary reasons for background checks beyond simple criminal background checks: you want to make sure the people you trust don't have anything in their history that can be used to blackmail or otherwise coerce them.
Lightning bolts do in fact melt the ground (see fulgurite), and they take at most about 0.2 seconds.
As for VR being anti-social - from my experience it's the exact opposite.

I've been visiting my friends who have VR, and organised VR mini-parties at my place. The setup goes like this: you show what's in VR on a tv screen, one person plays, and others watch, taking turns. Works extremely well with Beat Saber, FNAF, and some shooters.

I also did social painting in VR, where people took turns drawing in Tilt Brush, and others went in to look at it, adding to it their own stuff.

Another case I saw is adding VR setup to a bigger party, which works very well with Beat Saber.

VR can be just as social as couch-multiplayer on consoles, or Karaoke. If not more.

As for pets, it depends on a pet, but with 2-3 dogs I saw there were no issues whatsoever.

A fingerprint is only going to stop a very opportunistic attacker. Someone who already has your desktop and app password and physical access to your desktop can probably get a fingerprint off a glass, cup or something else.

The people most of us work with have physical access to our computers and they could probably shoulder surf a short password (use a password manager!). I don't imagine any of them could successfully lift a fingerprint sufficiently well to fool a biometric reader. It's looks easy in perfect conditions on YouTube but in the real world it's a bit harder.

I hope not anyway because my office has fingerprint access.

It's odd to propose that everyone is programming in a UTF-8 environment, or that all programmers even know what UTF-8 is. "Should know", sure, but they don't, and trying to make an "is" from an "ought" is a nasty, nasty habit.
