Also, the biggest non-starter is just how inefficient it is to move 12v any reasonable length. 12v domestic wiring only makes sense in very tiny small dwellings. (Think studio apartment or 3rd world country shack.)

Otherwise the voltage sag and resistance makes it cheaper and more efficient to do normal 120/240 voltage with device-specific converters. (For example, if I had to run 0-gauge cable from my breaker box throughout my house to support 12v, the cost of copper alone would be prohibitive.)

I honestly think standardizing on USB for devices that can use it is the best approach, given that we already have tiny AC->USB converters that don't block other plugs, and outlets with USB built-in are on the market. Furthermore, I wonder just how much we can shrink the typical wall-wart so it won't cover other plugs?

(I also think we're better off trying to do a global domestic 200 or 400 volt DC standard.)
It is also true in my case. My extended family still gets KFC every Christmas Eve.

You should be polite and non-objectionable at work.

Outside of work, you should be genuine. You don't have to be everyone's friend.

This is also why I don't socially interact with work mates.

Boeing May Suspend 737 Max Production
Strange. I was reading it literally a couple hours ago.

It has gone down for extended periods in the past, most likely when the unpaid intern running it had exams or something.
If your liberty is somehow impacted by the color of my home, please explain how...
That's exactly what happened, Boeing wanted to re-design the 737 with a new type certificate and all that, but the airlines pushed for a re-engined 737.

In the end the 737 MAX is largely a good design, just with one big fuckup.

There's also a certain irony that Boeing would have been able to push out a software update before the Ethiopian crash if the government was not shut down for a month over Dec 2018-Jan 2019.
> Few days back, I was thinking on similar lines about Instagram. It does not respect norms of our society. Consider this, our society deeply values competence but Instagram does not seem to take it into consideration at all.

I don't think this is quite right. Instagram mirrors society and amplifies it.

In fact if anything, Instagram levels the playing field. Now anyone can go on IG and gain an audience. Whereas in the past, you'd have to go through a series of gatekeepers for your work as a photographer to see light of day and get in front of an audience. And that process was much more flawed, and didn't guarantee competence either.

Don't get me wrong, Instagram has many problems - but not in the way you're suggesting.

> Who I maintain relations with and who I don't is not other people's business similarly who I follow and who I don't follow should not be visible to anyone except me but that is not the case.

Then make your profile restricted? You don't have to have a public presence on Instagram. Lots of people lock their account down.

> This is true for almost all the social networks though. A social network that respects norms of our society

What even are these "norms of our society" that you keep referring to? There are no norms - there are really only moments in time. Whatever bubble you're living in, is simple one possible version of reality even in your own country. Again, you may not like it - but Instagram is a mirror of society in many ways. Norms are changing all the time. There is no guarantee that the "norms" you grew up with as a child will endure through your adulthood and so there shouldn't be an expectation of it either.

I'm sure similar arguments you're making were also made for Radio and TV when they were the primary carriers of culture and media.

Me too! I spent Christmas there many years ago, and every person I talked to asked:

1. Are you going back home for Christmas?

2. No? Oh are you going to get a Christmas cake from KFC?

I was like, Christmas cake? And why KFC specifically? My confusion confused them just as much. Maybe they later thought it was because I was Canadian so it must just be an American thing.
Except for the MMT people. They mostly got it right but they don't count as 'real' economists to the WSJ.

L.L. Zamenhof's original dream was that other languages would eventually die out and be replaced by Esperanto or something like it. He came from a time, place, and personal perspective when "diversity" wasn't valued like it is today. (Similarly, he dabbled in creating a universal religion that adherents of other religions could compromise towards.) It wasn't until after the mid-20th century that the Esperanto movement started talking about supporting the world's minority languages, and even then not all parts of the organized movement got on board.

From a sociolinguistic view, it seems likely that if Esperanto were the universal language, minority-language speakers would abandon their native languages for it in many circumstances ("domain loss") just as they do for English, French, Spanish, etc. in various parts of the world.
They had a software update to correct a bunch of issues with MCAS in the pipe, but it was delayed by the government shutdown.

If there had been no government shutdown, the Ethiopian Airlines crash might not have happened.
Agree on this one. Why Nations Fail is a fabulous book. I recommend reading Guns, Germs, and Steel first if you are going to read both. Highly recommend both.

OK! - "I get it, stop telling me, leave me alone"

OK... - "This is exasperating and I'll just accept it"

OK... - "His response was childish; moving on..."

OK? - "What you've just said appears to have no bearing on the question I asked nor the conversation at hand. Please explain how it's relevant or get on-topic."

OK? - "Did you understand? Please provide a response indicating whether you need additional information."

OK! - "I acknowledge your request and am capable and willing to fulfill it. I'm on it. I'll get it done. You can count on me."

In person, you can provide vocal inflection and facial expression to communicate which of these you intend. Over text, you're at the mercy of how the reader is feeling in the moment. Personally, I'll spend time either putting more punctuation around the "OK" to help clarify. Or I'll just go with the sentences that attempt to preclude ambiguity. Apparently (anecdotally), most people don't bother.

OK?

That's not completely true. Ignoring the tax and operational hedges I can employ if I legitimately use my plane for business purposes, if I fly more than 200 hours a year it's not that (relatively) expensive to own a personal jet. Admittedly, I'm not talking about a Gulfstream G5 or Lear 75, but something like a Citation III or Lear 31/35 cost US$500K-US$1m to acquire (refurbished) and cost less than $10/mi to fly (so less than US$1m for around 200/hrs/yr all in). That's not a big chunk of $100m, especially if you can justify it for business reasons. At the local GA airport where my niece is getting her pilots license, there are lot's of businessfolk and small businesses that justify owning an 8-12 place jet, and they have significantly less than $100m in liquid assets.

I'm curious too - was there really no non-Chinese company that would endorse this?
Japan has a similar story with the "Christmas Cake":

"Christmas cakes...[were] popularized when they began sales at Ginza, the central commercial district in Tokyo. This was during the time when Japan was going through massive waves of Westernization, particularly by the upper elite class. Members of the upper class, who had a strong penchant for Western cultures in general, enjoyed Western style desserts as a delicacy. Thus, being a Western style dessert, Christmas cakes were associated with the idea of Western modernity and social status. It was a major hit when the Christmas cakes were commercialized and became more affordable to the general public."

"The Christmas cakes today are symbolized as a ritual of Christmas celebration; specifically, the act of sharing the cake with family or friends."

I love MMT in theory but it is terrifying to consider actually making policy decisions with MMT as the justification.

Repeating what I wrote here [1], Fabrice Bellard wrote JSLinux in 2011, which is a CPU emulator written in JavaScript that runs the Linux kernel (using typed arrays and relying on fast JITs).

That's just a way of saying that "the best way to predict the future is to invent it" (and do so before people who were "predicting" it).

If you knew about asm.js and Google's (now abandoned) Nacl and PNacl, there's nothing surprising about the development of wasm. It's been 10+ years in the making.

And 20+ years ago Microsoft's browser had ActiveX plugins (which didn't use a VM and were really unsafe and unportable). Making a portable, sandboxed bytecode solves an obvious problem with that.

Also the JVM ran in the browser, etc.

You need to pay to the creator to see the video content that is published on the platform. Since I was a subscriber to the site, I can tell you that the site does host videos from LTT.
I watch more LTT than I do Netflix. It's more relevant to my hobbies and, critically, Netflix has lost a ton of content over the years.

As a different comparison point, HBO NOW is $15/month and that gets you a very small amount of content.
That's true, but I don't think that makes it any less rational for them to diversify. 20% of your net worth is still a lot of risk to trade off just for a bit of investor confidence.
Boeing wanted a whole new design, the airlines pushed for a re-engined 737.
You must not be familiar with the streaming/twitch community. Even modestly popular streamers/youtubers are easily able to acquire hundreds if not thousands of $5/month subscriptions. YouTube itself offers $5/month "Channel Subscriptions" that give you access to exclusive content (of a single creator), which is exactly this product. Plenty of people like individual creators enough to throw $5 their way for ad-free higher quality videos and "behind the scenes" content.

It's not meant for random individuals to post their cat videos and make a quick buck, it's a monetization option for popular people/communities that gives them more revenue streams, which is great if it gets them out of the fist of Google/Amazon. Having 80% of your revenue tied to a mega-corp's ad rate is a big incentive to diversify...

I also took two attempts for The Three Body Problem. Gotta say, I don’t understand the hype. Maybe something was lost in translation but it seems like another poorly written SF novel carried by a few interesting ideas. Not in the same league as Dune, Ursula Le Guin or some of Ted Chiang’s shorts.
What is the maximum power provided by PoE? Wikipedia is surprisingly vague on the subject, probably because there are multiple standards. PoE was never intended to power more than just network equipment.
Paywalled, couldn’t read.

As an economist, strongly allergic to this kind of title. The theory of endogenous money (as opposed to non monetary and/or fractional reserve banking theories) accounts for what is described in the title fairly effectively: money needs to be viewed as a medium of exchange, and it needs to be plentiful so that information never gets bottlenecked: this will surprise no software developer if they compare it to, for example, storage space and/or network bandwidth. Economic theories that either ignore money as irrelevant or ascribe inherent value to it (as does neoclassical economics, and as do crypto-currency enthusiasts who effectively seek to recreate artificial sources of scarcity just as the gold or more accurately bimetallic standard did) fail to account for the economic expansion that accompanied the expansion of monetary supply; endogenous money models, though less widespread, do not make such disproven predictions, and thus should be allowed to stand whereas the others should be held to be manifestly disproven.

Now, could we please sit down and figure out not what the next currency shall be, but what an ‘antibank’ is going to be?
I do not agree this _might_ leads us in a better direction.

What we'll continue to see are rising sects of flat-earthers, anti-vaxxers, cultists, polarization and deniying of anything not-in-my-bubble, a complete lack of trust in journalism and media, and futile attempts of fact-checking while we're all drowning in fake news shared endlessy on unsuspecting users. It takes a lot of effort to show something was manipulated digitally, and you'll have to fact-check by yourself, that doesn't scale at all.

Where the street vs. earnest definitions overlap is it means to "seize the initiative." You get leverage in both contexts, the question is whether you seize the initiative by having something to offer, or by fabriating problems for for your target to solve.

A sign-up wizard that splits up users' PII entry so they are invested in the process by the time it asks them for the valuable stuff is a good UX tech example.

Spam messages that pretend to be bills or from an authority are well into dishonest territory. The key difference seems to be in the honesty of the problematization. It's a continuum.

The best hustles play on the target's conceits, the worst on their virtues. 3-card monte plays on greed and a sense of superiority.

Business ones are basically blackmail like, "everyone thinks you're a smart problem solver who is easy to work with, if you want that to continue to be true, you will solve this problem for me, I'll let you know when you're finished." Less tech oriented, but the leverage pattern is similar.
This is an amazing discussion of wealth in the linked reddit comment.

Making S3 More Resilient Using Lambda Edge
If you were to start a new language today, wouldn't it make more sense to start with an existing common language, like English, and make simplifications to it until you reach something like Esperanto?

The only downside I can think of is that we're taught in school that slightly different spelling etc. is strictly incorrect, so there's a stigma you'd somehow have to overcome for the native speakers.

Most articles I've seen about the YouTube system are wildly misinformed.

Here's the facts: in almost all cases [0], anyone can easily get rid of any abusive claim by simply disputing it, and filing a counternotice if and when it is elevated to a DMCA notice (copyright strike). The only way for the copyright holder to prevent this is by actually filing a lawsuit, and being as this requires a lawyer to sign off on, is extremely unlikely to happen for frivolous cases. Any article that claims that this can't be easily disputed, or that the burden of proof is on the YouTuber who uploaded the video (outside of the exception discussed below) is wrong, full stop.

[0] there is an exception for a small number of content owners. See https://www.eff.org/issues/intellectual-property/guide-to-yo... and https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/11/casualty-youtubes-cont.... As far as I can tell, the only company known to be part of this is UMG.

Hmmm that's a very interesting reddit comment. Thanks for sharing! I guess my comment was a bit too imprecise. Of course you can always afford additional luxuries, and money still remains a big factor in relative pecking order questions (which become more important the more super-rich friends you have!). But power over personal staff, even if it travels with you in your private jet and occupies half of the hotel when you arrive is not the same as power over tens to hundreds of thousands of employees. Also, that private staff is a net loss while the company is making you money.
It's not courses. It's tournaments. And the people who speak fastest and read the most obscure arguments are the ones who win the most.
For the better part of a decade or for the last 3 years?

The country is incredibly divided. About half the country thinks the country is going to shit anytime their party isn't leading. The country usually does go to shit when leadership is divided. And the economy has almost always gone to shit when the yield curve inverts. Combine that with the fact that inequality is at an all time high and a lot of people WANT to see asset prices go to shit, a lot of people want to see this administration go to shit, and you've got a recipe for people predicting and cheerleading recession.

I'm young, so I can hardly speak of 2007 at all, but I think this is a unique circumstance in the amount of people that seem to WANT a recession. Would love to hear from someone older and wiser if this aspect is normal.

One thing that I’ve done that’s made my iPhone much less distracting, is to run the display in black and white.

This makes my notification badges scream for my attention much less. The whole phone feels calmer and less distracting. I have actually been doing this for over a year, and it’s been life-changing.

Another benefit is that due to the increased contrast of black and white, I can run my brightness way lower; this is excellent for battery life. Screenshots still show up in color.

I have an Accessibility Shortcut mapped to my side button to turn this on and off. If I want to look at a photo or something, I toggle it by triple-clicking my side button. It’s seamless and it stays out of my way.

For anyone who wants to try this: Go to Settings -> Accessibility -> Display & Text Size -> Color Filters. Flip the switch to enable and select “Grayscale”.

Then, go back up to Settings -> Accessibility -> Accessibility Shortcut and select “Color Filters”.
