I'm trying to point out, that current evidence can be explained in different way: by kind of Tired Light Theory. TLT plays well with Pilot Wave Theory and it doesn't need epic events in the past just few galactic hours ago. I'm familiar with evidence used by expanding Universe theories and with problems in them.

TLT predicts that value of "Speed of expanse" will be different when measured using different methods or frequencies, and it is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubble%27s_law#Measured_values... .

TLT predicts that there is much more stars, but we cannot see them yet because they are too dim, but more powerful telescopes will be able to pickup them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tolman_surface_brightness_test
https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2016/hubble-reveals-obs...

TTL predicts stars and galaxies older than BB (because of no BB), and they are found: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_most_distant_astro...

TTL predicts that Cosmic Background Radiation is just radiation of distant objects with Z=1000 .

And so on.

In short, mainstream theories doesn't hold against new data.
I believe the deep interest in sports is partially genetic. Some people's brains have very strong "mirror neurons" so when their sports team does something great, they feel a portion of that success as a real thing in their head. Some people (actually a lot of people) are just hard wired to enjoy the bread and circuses:

Your local town newspaper has the last eight to thirteen pages of it devoted to paid classifieds and syndicated cartoons, but I think that most readers are more than capable of separating the two. I certainly haven't seen too many people rant about how the local paper is awful, while citing those two sections as Exhibit A and Exhibit B. [1]

For some reason, though, people seem utterly incapable of doing the same for Buzzfeed.

[1] There are plenty of reasons for why a local town paper may only be good as toilet paper, but the presence of classifieds, obituaries, and Dilbert cartoons is rarely the cause of it - or even a correlating signal.
> Nope in other countries you're insured on your debit card as well

At the time EMV ("chip-and-pin") was first rolled out across most of Europe, cardholders were actually liable for card-present fraud on their cards, whereas they had not been for magnetic stripe card-present fraud. It took a few years for the EU to pass a law changing this. In the meantime, chip-and-pin was actually a downgrade from the customers' perspective.

The more I see this meme, the more ridiculous it seems.

The US federal government, the overall governing body of the most powerful nation in the world, employs 2 million people in around 1,760 agencies and manages nearly 1 Trillion dollars. If anything it touched "became a disaster", it would not be able to support the most powerful nation in the world, supporting the world's largest economy by GDP.

States are not the federal government, but they generally follow it as a model, and they generally do a good enough job at managing themselves that everything they touch also does not become a disaster.

Profit can be gamed and there are all sorts of little write-offs here, exceptions there, and loopholes besides.

What we need is a lower rate against more receipts, and incentives only on things actually likely to spur growth. Imagine if every publicly traded company paid %2 on revenue minus payroll, employee training and healthcare, and maybe depreciation. The only way to pay less tax is to pay your workers and vendors more, but you don't need to shift things to this expense or that expense to dodge a profit tax.
I don’t think automotive or manufacturing engineering have changed all that much in the last 10 years compared to the previous 100....

ICE manufacturers make a platform and use it for years, sometimes decades, with only relatively minor tweaks. The hard part as I understand it is literally everything else about manufacture, something which will be broadly shared with EVs.

I feel like my experiences are in sharp contrast to many others here.

I love Elixir the language but find myself still having to throughly review new libraries to avoid footguns. In particular with "connectors" -- DB drivers, API clients, basic protocol implementations, etc. And resolving those issues normally means fixing them ourselves, often with a significant refactor to someone else's library. And in turn that's meant some of us having to become fairly proficient with Erlang.

So while I'm optimistic about the future of Elixir there are still some pain points that I think relate directly to the immaturity of the community.
No it's the opposite. A lot of people getting $500k were trained by Uncle Sam and left.

My point was that you can't say the government would mess it up when the government (really, many governments as I outlined above) has done a phenomenal job of training many of our best private sector hackers.
> That's true that there was no command "svn branch", there was only the command "svn copy". It's true that command could have been better named, like many Git commands could have been better named.

It was not a naming issue. It was a bona fide lack of support for a basic feature. The manual itself states quite clearly that in SVN land you create a branch by copying around the entire working directory within your repository. SVN's manual is quite clear on how SVN actually tracks the state of a file system, and not the state of a source code tree. By copying the working directory around the repository you're creating new revisions of your file system. That' it. Just because you can diff two directories it does not mean copying a directory around in a file system is a branch. And nor is it a tag.
> By the way, the "one checkout per repository" is not strictly true.

You must be referring to just the table at the top, not to the detailed argument below, which mentions git-worktree and then points you to a web search that gives a bunch of blog articles, Q&A posts, project issue reports and such talking about the problems that come from using that feature of Git.

I suspect this is because git-worktree is a relatively recent feature of Git (2.5?) so most tutorials aren't written to assume use of it, so most tools don't focus on making it work well, so bugs and weaknesses with it don't get addressed.

Fossil is made to work that way from the start, so you can't run into these problems with Fossil. You'd have to go out of your way to use Fossil in the default Git style, such as by cloning into ~/ckout/.fossil and opening that repo in place.

> test before commit". It feels a bit artificial wrt. what can be done locally, what git commit and git push do and what their relation is in a sane workflow.

That just brings you back to the problems you buy when separating commit from push, which we cover elsewhere in that doc, primarily here: https://www.fossil-scm.org/xfer/doc/trunk/www/fossil-v-git.w...
>It took Tesla 5 years to essentially just swap the powertrain + rebadge a Lotus Elise, another 5 and millions in investment before their first in house design.

15 years ago, sure. But EVs are mature tech at this point. Nissan has been pumping them out at volume for nearly a decade now. Every other manufacturer now has at least one or two models in development or coming to market. The only differentiating factor is the ability to produce high quality batteries in massive volume.

This is why Nissan was so successful with the Leaf. They had their own battery production facilities in place to provide the volume needed. So far Tesla has been the only other manufacturer with a similar capability. It's also why the Europeans are so far behind the Japanese, Koreans, and the US in EV sales. None of them have their own battery production capacity, and are forced to buy from Panasonic or LG Chem.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Demon-Haunted_World

> The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark is a 1995 book by astrophysicist Carl Sagan, in which the author aims to explain the scientific method to laypeople, and to encourage people to learn critical and skeptical thinking. He explains methods to help distinguish between ideas that are considered valid science and those that can be considered pseudoscience. Sagan states that when new ideas are offered for consideration, they should be tested by means of skeptical thinking and should stand up to rigorous questioning.
This is the standard blanket denial of an enormous number of mens' lived experiences.

The vast majority of heterosexual women lose respect for a man who shows weakness, and it's certainly not "women doing what men do", as the man displaying a stiff upper lip for his partner is substantially more likely to weep with his male buddies.

At risk of sounding like an MRA, we live in a society which accepts, prima facie, the lived experience of women as incontrovertible evidence of how the average man reacts to the average woman, for good or for ill. But the lived experience of men must be handwaved away as some sort of Occam's Razor-defying Rube Goldberg contraption of transitive culture.

Other declassified documents of the past showed they were years ahead on hardware, too. The NRE costs got so high that commodity hardware got preferable in the general case.

They have access to better and more hardware than most threat actors.
> "True, but so what? We call it AI and that's that, really. We've been calling it that for 70 years now and it's never been a problem."

That isn't even ... true. AI became "machine learning" in the late 90s/early 2000s and that change happened because the chorus of criticism of "artificial intelligence" had become extremely loud and a less ambitious term served as a refuge.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicameralism_(psychology)

There is a theory that humans only developed consciousness in the last 2-3000 years, based on literary sources, and that we were sort of guided by what were in fact auditory hallucinations (generated by another, less connected part of our brains) before that time.

Interesting idea.
Man had to learn how to think, then acquire knowledge.

This question is part of what inspired Harry Binswanger’s book, “How We Know”:

“Mankind has existed for 400,000 years. But 395,000 of those years were consumed by the Stone Age. The factor that freed men from endless toil and early death, the root cause of the elevated level of existence we now take for granted, is one precious value: knowledge. The painfully acquired knowledge of how to master nature, how to organize social existence, and how to understand himself is what enabled man to rise from the cave to the skyscraper, from warring clans to a global economy, from an average lifespan of less than 30 years to one approaching 80.”

> I would not recommend trying to interview as a manager...without having first been a manager in another role.

This is my experience too. Companies don't like hiring managers without at least a little experience, and often are resistant to hiring first level managers at all. Instead, they look for "senior IC, but manager material" candidates, and extend an IC offer with a loose expectation of becoming a manager in a year or so. It's not an explicit role you can apply for, but you can target it by applying for an IC role and keeping any leadership and team-focused experience visible on your resume and during your interviews.

As I get older, this is the bucket I tend to get put in during interviews, and then after joining I decide if I want to be a manager this time around.
We live at the absolute _extreme_ of capital power over labor power. Unions can certainly do harm, and you are right that they shouldn't be seen as a pure and irreproachable force for good, but small anecdotes about individual bad decisions made by unions are not useful in discussions about this.

In fact, they play to the already ridiculously anti-union sentiment that the vast majority of Americans (this article is about America, apologies if you are foreign) hold.

Unions can go way too far, and they can do harm, but the overwhelming majority of Americans live so far away from that point that it's not even a fruitful discussion to be having.
Wubei Zhi – The most comprehensive military book in Chinese history
Thank you for you comment! I think that’s a very good point about the money circulating, but at that point it feels like an end that could be achieved by printing money, but the problem isn’t really a lack of money, it’s a lack of things like housing and whatnot. I think perhaps printing money could help, but lots of places have tried to print their way to prosperity and it tends to end badly, so I don’t know...

That said, I do agree with what you said about measuring growth and poverty, but I think the simple math about redistribution is useful because while you can circulate dollars, you can’t circulate factories or farms or infrastructure. Wealth in useful forms throws off income that is a small percentage of what those things are worth, if you “consume” the wealth and not just the income, then the wealth is destroyed and doesn’t produce more wealth, and the numbers on redistributing income look even more bleak than the numbers on redistributing total wealth in dollar terms. And that’s what I feebly attempted to communicate, that there just aren’t enough productive assets in the world to produce all the things we as a species need to feel like we’re living our best lives and certainly not to do so sustainably.

> Other countries laugh at us when we talk about the checks we have to write,

Checks are increasingly rare in the US as well. Ask someone under the age of 25 how often they write a physical check to someone who isn't their landlord. (And even many landlords are starting to accept other forms of payment these days).

Personally, I don't think I've written a physical check in at least five years, except to my superintendent (holiday gift - I don't want to send cash by mail, and it's the one time that a physical check is actually the most convenient way to pay someone).

Because of competition. Your competitor who lowered prices by 1% would eventually drive you out of business.

There is a lagging effect, but these taxes are just a reduction in cost which eventually get passed to consumers. Assuming the market is competitive of course.
I joined a FAANG company when I was about 40 years old around just a couple of years ago coming from a sequence of startups and smaller companies. I think the biggest adjustment to make is the performance review systems. At these big companies performance is not about doing right things, but about fitting in with insular expectations. The senior folks who you would hope could mentor you may have no idea that you don't "get it" or what kind of feedback it requires to make the transition. In contrast, a lot of feedback you get at smaller companies is to just focus on doing right things for the business and not worry about any defined expectations.

I have seen some people make the transition smoothly... others not so much.
