I think giving me a charitable interpretation would be a good start. The origin of the phrase is lost in modern day culture and has a well understood meaning, and you denying me that makes it clear what kind of engagement you are looking for: one in which you feel justified and correct.

I'll give it to you: You're right! Good facts!

Moving on now...

I don't care if my neighbors can get one decent job or more-than-one-shitty job (your [0] and [2]) nor do I care that for X years we had growth in wages (your [1]) when the previous N*X years (for large N) that "real growth in wages" was 0. I would love to sell you stock that will grow at 0% for 30 years and only the last 5 have 2% over inflation. I don't want that toxic shit in my portfolio.

What I care about is the mentality that is justifying making "the market" be one or a handful of people, who happen to own a massive amount of wealth. It's no longer a free market. They are the market. Its self delusional to think someone shouting "I am the State!" has a democratic government, just as someone shouting "I am the market!" is a free and open capitalist market.

Basically, I can't believe my free-market loving friends are ok with its own dismantlement by the concentration of wealth by the ultra wealthy. And I am trying to get through to them.

Give the money to the employees. Who cares if they're already overpaid, because if they are then they'll also make philanthropic donations.
You seriously underestimate the work of the Gates Foundation. It's not about aid as a temporary fix at all and they are well aware of the problems you mention.
Interesting. I am curious. What's the pen grip taught in Japan?
Doesn't that still require the instance to have a public IP? I think the original solution doesn't even need a public IP.

Returns of things they know they sent are painless. In the linked article there was no tracking showing the balance beam and that caused most of the problem.
I think the voicemail integration was the hardest part... And I also would presume that exclusivity is what it took to get AT&T to make the technical changes on their backend. Of course it's also the reason I never got an iPhone. You couldn't pay me to use them as a carrier again, one too many bad experiences by that point.

I got the original G1 phone when it came out on T-Mobile, and it was nice enough (the stupid ball and hump on the side, I didn't like so much), and the physical keypad was nicer imho until gesture input started working well (swype then google's).

Other Android phones started trickling in a little later.
I was never taught how to hold a pen correctly as a child, and self-taught the first bad method from the chart (index finger overlapping thumb). I assumed writing was supposed to hurt, and never questioned this until I was an adult because it was consistent with my perception that the main purpose of school was to inflict suffering on children.

I think this might have contributed to my interest in computers. I starting typing all assignments as early as possible, because it was so much faster and less painful. I later taught myself conventional pen grip, and then switched to a Lamy Safari fountain pen. The Lamy Safari has an approximately triangular section grip part, which forces conventional grip. I think all pens and pencils used in schools should have this design.
I can’t really speak to the why. In any case.

No, but it requires you to either have some kind of peering, Client VPN Endpoint or a bastion host. I prefer a VPN or bastion host, since you add another layer of authentication in between. With Client VPN Endpoint you can also limit network access on a per-user basis to further lock down things.
Hi, that's a nice book reference. I've ran into this thread a bit late, but do you know if that book is still relevant (it's published in 1936, Wikipedia says) or are there more modern works that incorporate those ideas and work with them?

Given that most modern cars now start and stop the engine, "right turn on red" needs to die.

> with desktop class application development frameworks

It was for this very reason Nokia bought Qt. They very much had a desktop class dev story going, and also some pretty solid mobile device cred. People seem to forget the Greenphone, which was sold as a development platform but you could actually buy it and it was a proper phone with the full dev stack, more than a year before the iPhone was shown publicly. Nokia absolutely had what was required to stay relevant. Without the hostile takeover, things might have turned out different.
There's no reason they have to be. Game development is slowly but surely migrating toward fully capitalizing on high core/thread counts.

It failed in perception, no one developed for it and why would they when MS could break their app compatibility any second with just a single update. It was already even less cool to use than Blackberry, to much enterprise and too little user focus. At the time geeks were unhappy about how the things were going with Windows on PCs. Partnering with MS and taking Elop as their CEO was the final nail in the Nokia coffin. They really should had partnered with one of the asian companies like HTC, they were fierce competitors at the time and guess who bought their mobile division and continues to make pixel phones there. It's easy to say that after the fact, but they could have stayed a niche player, instead Elop chose to completely devalue their brand.

You can't really call it foul play, it was deliberate corporate takeover.

They had an unplanned stockholders meeting where the then-CEO was voted out and Elop was ushered in. He did a lot of good stuff like clean up five layers of middle management, got rid of build-it-five-times mentality as well as bring Nokia up-to-date with a bunch of modern practices.

But then he made a PUBLIC speech about Symbian being dead and that they would have an amazing Windows phone at the end of the year. This caused the Osborne effect (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osborne_effect) to just eat up Nokia.

Nokia was ahead of the game in a lot of things, like platform security -- let's not forget the first iOS ran everything as root and had no App store, while Nokia was making secure boot and encrypted applications happen.

Nokia was five or ten years ahead of everyone else in technology (you can look at iOS history and tick off boxes when they catch up to Nokia), but they had massive problems in their company culture. Nokia could not have bet on the N9 because they just didn't have that sort of mentality.
I don't see how that's even relevant here. Most countries have a highly competent and knowledgeable nucleus of tech people but that's not really relevant to tech security in the public sector.
Right, JIT compilers in Common Lisp are mostly not known. There are only a few bytecode interpreters, where it could be used: CLISP, CMU CL with its bytecode interpreter, ...

Common Lisp has several execution modes and for compiled code: important are

1) AOT compiled, but fully safe with optional debug info: safety = 3 and debug = 2

2) AOT compiled, but fast and potentially unsafe with little debug infos: speed = 3, safety = 0, debug = 0

The usual goal is to be able to run much of the code in mode 1) and only compile portions in mode 2).

Thus much of the language is optimized around possible compilation. The language is very dynamic, but there is also a core, which is not object-oriented - thus potentially easier to compile to fast code.

Also incremental in-memory compilation in Common Lisp is AOT and not JIT.

What's different about German cursive? I live in a German-speaking country now and I haven't really noticed any defining differences where I am, though I also wasn't looking for them.

The N9 did have a chance, I think. If you live in the US, you have no idea how big Nokia was. Problem was that the decision to sell to Microsoft was made before the N9 release. It would have taken a lot of courage to change course. People making that decision could have ended up looking like idiots. The N9's success was possible but not a sure thing.
I think it has to do with the fact that more people in the US reject public welfare systems and instead endorse private donations on a Christian religious basis, and that European countries were secularized earlier than the US (which currently undergoes a massive and rapid secularization, though). I haven't looked for any data, so take this with a grain of salt, but I'd bet that more people in Europe than in the US accept that the state should help people in need and has an obligation to secure basic welfare of all citizens. I also believe that people in the US are generally willing to pay less taxes than people in Europe, at least it seems like that judging from their voting behaviour.

If private donations are more entrenched in a society for religious reasons, then this will likely also influence people who have no religious motives.

Another explanation would be that the gap between rich and poor is larger in the US than in Europe, and so rich people in the US have a worse conscience than rich people in Europe (who often turn out to be much richer than they think they are and also show it less on average).
Yeah, and I think there's some selection bias here too. Cities where cyclists have a reputation for being aggressive tend to be cities where the non-aggressive are afraid to cycle.

From the article:

At Mondragon, there are agreed-upon wage ratios
between executive work and field or factory work
which earns a minimum wage. These ratios range
from 3:1 to 9:1 in different cooperatives and
average 5:1. That is, the general manager of an
average Mondragon cooperative earns no more than
5 times as much as the theoretical minimum wage
paid in their cooperative. For most workers, this
ratio is smaller because there are few Mondragon
worker-owners that earn minimum wages, because
most jobs are somewhat specialized and are
classified at higher wage levels. The wage ratio
of a cooperative is decided periodically by its
worker-owners through a democratic vote.

Afaik this is the biggest worker coop in existence. Does anyone know of any sizable examples of this ownership-model in tech?

edit: added "worker" to "coop" (as I'm not interested in non-worker coops)
Went to a talk given by them once. They have cool things like a maximum ratio between the highest and lowest salary. They've done some huge projects in the past like energy turbines and the likes.

> Deformation zones are designed to protect the car's occupants in the event of a collision with a tree. They are not designed to protect a pedestrian.

Nonsense, all modern cars have deformation zones specifically for protecting pedestrians during collisions. All modern crash tests by EuroNCAP etc. have tests for such impacts and current results speak volumes for the improvements in this area.

It was a terrible move that has jeopardized the lives of millions and further corroded the WHO's reputation. The very trustworthiness of the organization is being questioned so much so that people are dismissing official communiques as outright lies.
I seem to find several papers and books discussing pedestrian saftey in regards to bumper, hood/bonnet design and crumple zones.

I’m no expert by any means, but I’m certain though that pedestrian safety is considered when it comes to car design.

Having a crumple zone that absorb energy seems like it would work in favor of someone getting hit as well?

$20m is not really that much. You can spend that buying a new nice house in LA or a new penthouse in New York. If you have a large family (say 5) and your kids are adults/studying then $20m networth is not really that much to make them live the good life. (Not that I’m saying it’s a good thing to do so).

$25m @ 10%/year (assuming your actively investing a have no real estate) can afford you a good baller life around US most expensive cities if you are single or just a couple.

This is relatively normal in European mainland and it drives me daft. When both cars and pedestrians are technically "green" the cars should be extra cautious and slow down when they see someone approaching the crossing, but they just plough on through as they know no normal person will risk walking in front of a car going 30-40mph.

> Climate change is a governmental problem that requires investing in energy use reduction, insulation, public transportation, and the like.

It's not a governmental problem, it's an inter-governmental problem. Don't forget that governments are in competition with each other as much as your local grocery store is in competition with a Wallmart on the next street.

There are two strategies to tackling global warming that I firmly believe are completely ineffective: hoping for individuals to suddenly reduce their consumption, and hoping for politicians to swiftly pass necessary regulations in their countries. Both are essentially the same: asking someone to make sacrifice and suffer immediate negative consequences, and paying them with hope that others will volunteer to do the same (instead of doing nothing and enjoying the relative increase in status/wealth/power).

The reason to invest in research and new technology is because it gives a way out of the conundrum. Technology gives additional options to politicians. For instance, where no sane policymaker would mandate immediate restrictions on energy production in a nation powered by fossil fuels, dropping prices and increasing availability of solar PVs makes it easy to start funneling money into renewables, which a) makes the politician look progressive/pro-eco, b) allows to decarbonize energy production without reducing it and making the nation less competitive.

So basically - yes, the governments are ones with the power and means to solve this problem. But they won't just go and do it, for the same reason companies on the market don't just agree to do something together. If you want to push them to change, you have to go along with the incentive structures that govern the nations.
In fairness, so has Intel themselves.
