Well, that is what Nihilism explores. Under Nihilism we can still have a sort of right and wrong, but only with respect to goals. The goals you pick, are of course arbitrary. However, reality sort of strong-arms us into continuing our existence as a precondition to choosing any other goal (aside from death), and in that sense all other goals become subordinate to that one. I guess there are some other ways to interpret it, but regardless, the implications of this vary from somewhat Utopian (Transhumanism) to very Dystopian (The Borg.)

I'm not a Nihilist but if I were I wouldn't be too happy about it.

Imagine you are a property developer. You borrow money to buy land and want to build as many housing units on that land as you are allowed to and sell them for as much as you can. Buying granite counter tops in bulk and selling the housing units as luxury is going to make you a lot more than trying to cater to the bottom of the market, so nobody does, unless forced.
This is a good point, but it would be intellectually disingenuous not to acknowledge that they've been drawn by the policy of the red states, specifically by housing policy that's made housing costs more reasonable than the blue states.

Not that I'm a big fan of sprawl, but it's undeniable that blue state housing policy that strictly limits both sprawl AND density has been an utter disaster for cost of living anywhere where the economy is good.
Being ignorant of all things jailbreaking, is there a reason why X11 the display can't run on iOS? Surely an ios app can run a persistent background server, eg web? Or is it the swapping out/pausing that is the problem? Or is the answer to these simply a sharp edged and loud NO? We-say-so etc.

I fully get why Vnc/X11 as a screen sharing facility wouldn't work - no access. I also get why running a full devel environment would be pain for a "normal" developer to implement - again, no access.

This is all ironic because Apple market their iPad Pro as a professional device AND the cpu/ram is obviously plenty good enough (they themselves said so). The thing is more powerful than a Pi. And it meekly manages to compile quite a lot. My little Pi collection is now at 5 members and growing.

So, Apple, why can't I compile apps for ios on ipados? Hmmm? Wheels for the mind, think different etc

I think there are a lot of issues where the republican/democrat divide is very directly influenced by rural/urban environments.

(please do not assume any of the following takes a stance on these issues. Also don't imagine I know what I'm talking about)

On gun control, rural areas can have more than one gun per person with virtually no impact on an already negligible violent crime rate, while urban areas have fewer guns that are all much more likely to be involved in a homicide. So rural people see the issue as taking away rights for no benefit and urban people see that resistance as tacit support of gun violence and an attack on human life.

On abortion, cities have a lot more opportunity for promiscuity and have more unwanted pregnancies as a result. In the country, abortions are a much rarer concern; eliminating them would have little impact and resistance seems like tacit support of an attack on human life.

On taxation, city wages are higher. This may, citation needed, also influence positions on immigration.

Pollution is a greater concern in the city. Law enforcement corruption is a greater concern in the city. Cost-of-living and therefore necessary minimum wage are higher in the city.

I could go on (I can't, but fun to say so anyway).

I'm willing to bet that there are plenty of childcare workers more passionate about raising children than the parents themselves.

Perhaps I am feeling more like this an exclusively American problem than a universal one. For example I suggest to study the situation in India.

Many factors are at play here:

* Most Indians tend to marry young and have kids before 30.

* most families have either one or two kids only.

* Parents support their children for life, i.e, grandparents have a major role in supporting the care and rearing of kids.

* Daycare isn't expensive.

* Government mandated maternity leave with full pay and no loss of seniority.

Shockingly this is the thing that an educated setting applies routinely, instructing subjects that have little setting in a kid's life. We may have had the option to catch our little girl's enthusiasm by giving her a record of somebody moving house in story structure. Potentially through relating to the individual in the story she may have gotten progressively locked in. In spite of the fact that I would contend this is a murmur of the genuine experience. Fruitful goals of 'moving house' would include a total comprehension, in the kid, of what it feels like and what it physically intends to move house. It is through the genuine encounter of moving, the doing of moving in setting, which really connects with the coordinated student in the kid, giving the full importance behind moving. It was this 'doing of moving in setting' which settled for the last time the inquiries that my little girl had with respect to her bed and her toys going with her when she moved to an alternate house.

I have recently been coding on iPad using a combination of Working Copy [1] and Termius [2].

[1]: https://workingcopyapp.com/

[2]: https://www.termius.com/

Working Copy is an amazing graphical Git client and integrates fully with iOS Files.

But for now SSH/Mosh via Termius feels closer to a traditional dev environment. It gives me full access to the command line, tmux, vim, etc., and mapping caps lock → esc sidesteps the lack of an iPad escape key and would be my default on a computer anyway.

I would love to have the best of both worlds: a traditional dev environment local to my iPad and integrated with native iOS APIs.
Slack threads seem to work just fine in my experience. Not uncommon for a meaty subject to reach 80+ replies from 10 different people. Usually finish it off with a Zoom call once everything has been laid out and it's time to decide on actions items, if they haven't been decided already.
VERY interesting. I have a few friends with companies in the "shovel industry" that are VC backed and they also raised very similar points to the ones you've mentioned, which is keeping me away, having experienced being in a business that was hit by a variant of (2).

Technology-wise there is a great many approaches out there in their infancy, that usually die before they get a chance to be fleshed out into larger companies.

The intersection between No-Code & Developer-Tools is to me one of the most-exciting spaces to watch.

I can't imagine we'll design & document business-logic and requirements with so many breaks in the chain to production ten years from now.
> In fact, the OP article of this thread is about progression in an academic career, which doesn't pay well unless you become a full professor at a research uni. First time you break low 6 figures in this career is when you become assistant prof in early/mid 30s.

Is an assistant professor different from a "full professor" in your usage here? I'm not sure how you define "paying well", but low six figures is significantly above average in the US (which is where I assume you're talking about, but also most likely above average pretty much everywhere else too).

I'm surprised he's not joining the Starr/Dershowitz impeachment defense. BTW, Dershowitz wrote a book that boldly, intellectually-dishonestly conflated anti-Zionism with antisemitism. In his mind, Godwin's law doesn't exist and anyone who's critical of Israel must be silenced by waving around dishonest, duplicitous, hasty generalizations for purely political purposes. Also, pro-Likud college groups (who are often funded and staffed by Likud) also do this very effectively to nonviolent, peaceful BDS supporters; they want no debate, just banning, canceling and expelling anyone who's against their crusade to keep the Christian evangelicals giving them carte blanche in the West Bank and giving them billions.

> There is a very pronounced trend of people migrating away from states that are controlled by Democrats for reasons that are potentially ideologically driven policy failures.

This observation may actually indicate the opposite, it is conservative policies that are failing. To see this, consider two potential reasons why people move away from urbanized progressive areas into more conservative areas:

1. Progressive policy failures (as you suggest)

2. The conservative areas are under-developed, and therefore have a greater potential for growth, which creates incentives to move there.

Under the first hypothesis, liberal policies ruin things. But under the second hypothesis, conservative policies ruin things. There is a pretty simple way to test out which is true: if the first is true, and progressive policies are at fault, then a conservative area would become more conservative as it becomes more popular and more people move there. If the second is true, then conservative areas would become more liberal as it becomes more developed.

Pretty much every originally conservative area that becomes developed later becomes more liberal (hello Texas). It's pretty clear that your hypothesis is false.

I'm not a fan of Durham, but I really like downtown Raleigh. The food is good, the people are friendly, and the local music scene is surprisingly vibrant. I've met at least two young people in Raleigh who are originally from NYC, a couple from Philadelphia too who said they don't want to move back.

The things those young people seem to have in common:
- Work low-skilled service industry jobs
- Have involvement in the music or art scene
- Are unhappy with standard of living available to them in "affordable" parts of bigger cities (ie, crime + pollution, not being able to afford a car for trips / gigging).

So that's one example of the type of young person who would prefer to move to Raleigh. I don't know if they're the type who will stay long-term, but there's definitely an appeal to a certain set of people. Highly paid techies who can work anywhere may not get much out of it. Personally, I just enjoy being here because I'm from NC and like the culture and my friends and family here. I might consider a bigger east-coast city in the future - but the west coast in general has completely lost its appeal.

GM has revenue of around USD 150B. VW of around USD 260. Tesla's was USD 20B in 2018. So compared to revenue, Tesla spends much more on R&D. And don't forget that a lot of the traditional car manufacturers' R&D is spent on combustion engine improvements and other tech that is not related to EVs whereas Tesla is only spent developing EV tech. Further, Tesla has been developing EV tech for 17 years now, the last 8 years at some scale. The traditional car manufacturers have only just begun in earnest 3-5 years ago.

I do agree that Tesla isn't investing that heavily in R&D but they also cannot afford to. They are not turning profits. And they are already 5-10 years ahead of many competitors on tech, so I think it's wise to invest in production capacity instead. This year and in 2021, VW, GM, Mercedes, BMW etc. are getting into the EV market with cars that in specs seem to be competing with Tesla's 2012 model S.

The most important spec right now is price and range. None of the old companies are close to delivering competing range at a competing price. None of them have a charging network or battery efficiency or battery production capacity close to what Tesla has.

That conclusion isn’t quite logically rigorous. You need to have a prior on the odds of being a Boltzmann brain in the first place. If that prior is extremely high, your conclusion won’t hold.

It's not like the code is actually gone, other people have copies of it, and now that the original repo is gone nobody will mistakenly go to his repo and find it abandoned.

It seems like a good idea... until the first terrorist leaves their suitcase bomb in Manhattan, mobster uses this to arrange drug mules or child trafficking, or shady business or their employees goes through bags looking for valuables.

Most people can simply mail their luggage to their hotel. Only a limited subset of travelers who use Airbnb or are homeless would need this service.

It seems like a better business model would be somewhere at the airport where you can pay someone to watch your luggage if you want to explore / go to dinner / etc. and know you're going to get everything back (like some sort of branded plastic-wrap "seal" with writing on it). Fewer locations needed and infinitely more customers. Of course, the downside is there's nothing to patent or can be protected in either business, it can be knocked-off ad infinitum.
I get that but sometimes u transact outside and then you decide to go inside and spend a few bucks but then they hit you with a minimum. It's annoying. That 30 cents isn't going to lose money unless you bought something for like 60 cents. Margins are big inside, even if you only spend a few bucks it covers the fee versus no sale. They're just trying to boost basket sizes for more profit.

People who have worked in California until retirement taking advantage of it's strong economy to secure retirement income and then moving elsewhere to further maximize retirement dollars are a big part of the trend; to the extent that's about policy outcomes, it's policy success.
>> Unfortunately, this won't last forever. Other countries are catching up to the U.S. quickly. Eventually, development will move to cheaper labor countries like so many other industries. What is frustrating though is that if the U.S. actually focused on developing its talent, we could maintain the lead for another decade or two longer than if we just sit on our hands. With that extra lead time, we could come up with the next major industry (AI-training? quantum computer programming?), but as it stands now, many other countries will be equally poised to jump on the next opportunity and we'll squander our lead forever.

Agreed. I have several (very smart) coworkers in other countries. And our political system is an atrocious thing to watch these days. Whatever happened to compromise?

I don't think anybody really knows for sure what the future holds. The thing is with cloud computing and with the spread of technology into the developing world they will likely be needing engineers too.

Of course that may not happen if the software world is so carved up that all of the business goes to a handful of companies that are employing a fixed number of people and concentrating the gains.

And if Elon Musk has a breakthrough with neuralink, then maybe we'll all be out of a job. Why write code when you can think print('hello world')?

On the other hand, big players can get disrupted, technology can change, and its not like every human being has the capacity/stomach for the abstract problem solving we do day to day.
> A utilitarian could (and has) claimed that this marginal dollar occurs at the point where you have the bare minimum to survive

There's a few problems with this line of reasoning:

1. Its not clear to me that this argument is being made by a utilitarian, as you claim

2. You at least appear to show a misunderstanding of what "the marginal dollar" is. Every dollar is the marginal dollar. Its just that the relative value of dollar 1 (which you need to survive) is greater than the relative value of dollar 1 Billion, which you use to, uhhh, buy an island. I think what you're saying is that there is a point where the marginal value of your dollars is low enough that you are ethically obligated to donate them is at or around subsistence level, and that might be true, but it leads to the third problem:

3. Even for a strict utilitarian, if you take into account externalities, the right thing to do might not be to take all the money away from people. If you're optimizing for something like reducing death, reducing everyone in the US to subsistence level probably isn't the best solution: you'll likely do something unwarranted like cause a revolt. This has two major net negatives: a bunch of people die in the revolt, and you end up losing a lot of your money, either because you spend it to put down the revolt or because you don't and you lose and people take it back.

4. While improving the life of those in absolute poverty is a laudable goal, it's not clear that it makes sense for a government to do that, except when it ends up being beneficial to the government or its people. In other words, a government's moral imperative probably doesn't extend (far) beyond its borders.

> So I don't think a strictly utilitarian argument is sufficient.

People often forget about externalities.

On the other hand, if you think of the supply of billionaires as a revenue source, and then you think of there being decreasing demand for being a billionaire as taxes go up, but increased revenue per billionaire as taxes go up, you can draw up supply and demand curves and optimize to maximize revenue from billionaires (or people in general really, its just that the marginal rates can likely be higher on billionaires and they're the talking point of the day). If there are 100 billionaires, and you tax 2% more, and 1 billionaire moves away, you're still up on revenue. I often hear people arguing that we should operate our government more like a business.
