> At least on the issue of taxation, it's clear that he is to the left of that country (and basically every other country on the globe).

Sorry, but the basis for comparison isn't "What policies currently exist" but "what the 'left' in those regions claims is the next course of action." Otherwise, you're suggesting Sweden is somehow the yardstick of the global left, which is confusing. They're somewhat famously on the wrong side of several issues associated globally with the left, like sex work.

> 2) He also is for virtually abortion on demand where in Sweden it is largely prohibited after the 22nd week.

Sanders's platform remained extremely light on details of this policy. Anytime a critique of a policy includes the words "virtually" you're equivocating.

> 3) On health care Bernie Sanders has said that individuals should have "no premiums, no deductibles, no copays" which is also to the left of Sweden where individuals are expected to pay for some of their own medical care (before the government steps in to cover all expenses past a certain point).

It's not clear to me if this is "left" or "right". "The Government Pays for Everything" is not inherently a "leftist" position or even a Libertarian (classical) position. Nor is, "The Individual Is Responsible For Health Care" essentially a rightward or authoritarian (classical) position.

> Do you seriously think that if Bernie moved to Sweden he would start calling their politics too left wing and start arguing for conservative market reforms?

I uh... really can't engage with a hypothetical like this? I have no idea what fictional New Somehow Fully Citizen Bernie Sanders would do? But I suspect he'd advocate for the use of military force against other countries to secure prosperity for his new hypothetical fellow citizens, since he holds that position in America.
the birthday paradox is also not a paradox. the namers of such things just like to use the word ‘paradox’ for some reason. it probably sounds more puzzling to initiates.
The president has the power to fire any federal prosecutor, there should be no expectation that any action he approves of will ever result in criminal prosecution. Civil liability is the only mechanism for holding those in the executive accountable besides impeachment.
The word this article is looking for and not mentioned is Taylorism - the Western codification of time-motion study as a means to improving efficiency. Not that Taylor invented it, obviously; the pressure to produce more in a time period is inherent in piece-work and contract agricultural labour.

It does raise a good question as to what exactly was meant by "capitalism". All the freely-optimising workers mentioned in the story definitely existed within a more feudal system of land management.

I'm pleased that it mentioned the Opium War, even in passing.
> Perhaps an open-source alternative is what's needed, but that's often so late to the game.

The problem is that the software part of it is comparatively easy; a perfect platform from the point of view of code, robustness, and useability means nothing unless you can get the rights-holders to agree to make their content available on it.
The metro-areas, yes - but there are many neighbourhoods, suburbs, exurbs and submetropolitan areas with the same level of access to the talented locals but with approaching an order-of-magnitude less land-value.
It is not. Over a third of American adults believe humans were created by God in their present form.
For the OP, many projects are a "mess" that don't agree with his opinions. "bash is a mess, git is a mess, cygwin feels wrong..."

And M-Windows is a pristine example of orderly genius?

I support his right to his opinions. But here he is, running Docker and a pile of opinions to build himself a portable C&C++ env on M-Windows. (To use gcc, no less.)

Software in general is a mess. But that doesn't prevent great tools from being developed. There's a reason for the success of GNU and FOSS.
Only 2 constraints:

Main issues I have right now is low quality of existing indexes, and lack of anecdotal data for potential candidates. I'm not just talking about countries, but specific areas also.
No, folks on the left were pointing out, correctly, that calling folks who willingly marched with nazis who were chanting "blood and soil" good people was a serious dog whistle to rightwing extremism.
My take on this is that this is in some sense an outcome from organizations growing too fast. Fast growth indicates that the founders has done something right. Fast growing companies wakes the interest in certain types of people who wants to be part of the growth. After a couple of years and/or first couple of failures some people start talking about how the organization needs to mature. A conflict between founders (with friends) once successful approach and people in the growing org that wants more structure/processes/transparency starts. As all problems, no answer is right, is it the right way to go the old validated successful way or the new boring/mature way? Maybe the solution lies somewhere between? I think this is one reason this type of "organizational theories" arise. I think a lot of us has seen it and wondered why it happens.
> To me this seems like something one would use as an example in a physics lecture to show when certain assumptions are necessary and when they aren't.

IMO, that's the perfect use of this thought experiment. In fact, I dare say if there are more examples like this, where laying out basic clear assumptions and following the model through its rules leads to an answer that is clearly wrong, then this example and those other examples of that type should probably make up a series of lectures in a course (or subsection thereof) on model use. It seems to me that plenty of people pick up on what models are and how to use them. It seems less people internalize, "All models are wrong. Some models are useful."
Well, one is using his home electricity, furnitures, appliances while working, in the long term it adds up I guess.

Some companies will pay your gas or car insurance if owning a car is an inherent part of the job, it's kind of the same thing here.
Developer here. Yes I know, it's yet another JS library. I primarily wrote this because I was a fan of KnockoutJS, but have since switched to React and then Vue, and each time something felt a little off. I also wanted to try out Web Components.

The current state of the library is very much a proof-of-concept, so thanks in advance for taking a look, and definitely appreciate any feedback you might have. I'm more so just curious if this is useful to anyone else.
I've been using DynaList, so I guess I am vulnerable to this risk. But for some reason I could not figure out a way to make org mode work across all platforms in anyway close to as seamlessly. I was able to sometimes get cross-linking across but it was still pretty clunky. if I wanted to use org mode and I wanted to send random articles and other things to it via share function or send function and a mobile phone or iPad, edited on desktop in emacs, and then search find edit etc from any mobile device, is this really a possibility?
Nah. Pay is, and will continue to be, based on market rate. If they offer you 150k in Georgia and that's near top of market for your skill level, even though if you were in SV you'd make 250k, then you're still being paid well. No discrimination. If they offered a black person 150k and a white person 250k for the same job in the same place, that's discrimination.
Also they go out of their way to make it slower, add more buttons that make you take more clicks, and just use up useful real estate with buttons that nobody ever uses.

The entire UX for slack is just getting more cumbersome to the point where they added a lightning bolt so they dont have to think about all the crap they are shoveling in their program, and now the useful stuff is not available except beyond this lightning bolt.

When native apps start running into this problem, they allow you to customize defaults, but slack just wants to be the worst of both worlds imo.
I build using command line tools on Windows. It's great for my purposes. I don't think switching MSVC tools for GNU tools makes much of a difference.
> American politics is shifted so far to the right

I saw this and stopped reading. Just about spit out my coffee. Do people really think American politics are shifting to the right, when somebody like Bernie Sanders for President was unimaginable 15 years ago, yet is somewhat popular today?
Well, it does if you reside anywhere such agencies as the MPAA, GEMMA, or BREIN can send jackbooted S.W.A.T. through your front door.

Well you know Python so Django sounds like a no brainer. The closest family members are Laravel (php) and Rails (ruby). Elixir isn't OOP so it's gonna come with a learning curve.
Its easier to think about this using the water pressure analogy. Imagine a large barrel full of water connected to another identical barrel. The first barrel is filled to the top whilst the second is empty. A valve is opened between the two barrels and they equalise with half of the water in each.

The initial energy is mgh and the final energy is 2 * (m/2 * g * h/2) = mgh/2 so half of then energy has disappeared. It is clear that work could have been done by the water moving between the two barrels (like in a hydro-electric power station).
Anyone with an iPhone can listen to him easily. I suspect Android was similar.
There’s a point in every company’s trajectory where you should decide if you’re aiding in the company’s success or hindering it, and I believe this is doubly true for founders. In my personal experience, almost every startup I’ve worked in a founder was pushed out by the board or by a cofounder, voluntarily stepped down, or marginalized, and often for the better. The one case it didn’t happen, it should have.

Some companies do great with founders still in charge. (Stripe, AirBnB). Others realized their full potential after the founders stepped away (Google comes to mind). Either way, a founder should know when their time is up and think about what’s best for the organization.
I just started a project in NestJS. Prior to this I was working on express for NodeJS backend where I had to do a lot of manual stuff and achieving dependency injection across the application was a pain. I'm impressed with NestJS so far. If I could go back in time and re-work the project, I'd choose NestJS.
I've also worked with Rails and Spring boot. With NestJS I get the same ease and flexibility like in Rails and Spring boot.

Finally a great web application framework for NodeJS.

That’s an unfair treatment. Most if not all of those are sunk costs for the remote employee.
Glad you're using a personalized approach. I find that many people are mining the Indie Hackers and Product Hunt for creators, as I'm getting a lot of uncustomized pitch emails from those.
It stops you from noticing what other people believe and why, which stops you from understanding them even if you ultimately believe they're wrong.
How does it compare to signal? Whenever I load signal on desktop it can take 30-60 seconds because it loads hundreds of messages from the phone into the desktop app. It used to be terrible on my older computer, it would take 5 minutes to open signal there.

No. Just no. Addiction is a serious matter which is well studied by actual scientists and mental health professionals. You can't just give advices about addiction unless you have been properly trained. Your affirmations on such subjects have to be backed by scientific evidence and having a big audience does not qualify for scientific evidence. Please, if you are interested about addiction or think you have a problematic relationship with a substance or a behavior, go and see the work of Dr. Andrew Tatarsky at https://www.centerforoptimalliving.com/ for instance. Or ask a mental health professional which have an actual Ph.D. in psychology or medicine. You could also read actual scientific evidence if you know how to, just not that. This is just wrong.
gcc on Windows uses winpthreads for C++11 threads, which works just fine (it automatically links with libwinpthread)... I can basically use the same threading code for all platforms (except the stuff that is necessarily platform dependent and therefore not part of C++11). I should note that I use msys2. So I'm wondering what you are missing?

That being said, I often use my own STL like mutex class which wraps SRWLock on Window and pthtead_mutex_t on Linux/macOS.

Utility will put a cap on whether the business can exist. Employers won't willingly pay above your utility. And if they could get you to work for free they sure would.

The Phoenix person and the NYC person don't have the same opportunities because the huge majority of tech jobs still don't support fully remote positions. So the Phoenix person has all the fully remote jobs (many of which adjust salaries down) and all the local Phoenix business. And the NYC person has all the fully remote jobs and the gazillions of local NYC jobs.

Your employer doesn't know that you'd never want to work for a local NYC company or whatever, so they operate under the assumption that they have tighter competition for your labor.

Some day, if lots and lots and lots of remote work is available, this effect will shrink and that will either pull remote salaries closer together or people in LCOL regions will still be willing to accept lower pay and the HCOL people are in trouble.
Perhaps I am misunderstanding but, I think being choosy about the guests one hosts is not censorship.

Fair enough, wikipedia does include the reference to expectation in its definition of paradox.

I think they were being completely facetious. That said, I also think requiring it be "in process" is unnecessary. One of the most powerful features of org is babel, which clearly pushes out the execution to the external tools.
Some bits that stood out to me, though the whole piece is full of interesting points:

> I believe, the community has been self-selected to consist of those who are not bothered by Smalltalk's initial limitations, and so are unmotivated to address them or support those who do. In fact, they often could not even see these limitations staring them in the face, causing them to adopt unrealistic business policies that hurt them more than anyone else.

> Perhaps an even deeper problem with Smalltalk is that it attracts people who are a tad too creative and imaginative; organizing them into a cohesive movement is like herding cats.
Glad this has been brought up. I noticed it a while ago and wanted to post it here every time someone falsely repeats how great DDG is, but couldn't recall any of the searches.

With safe search moderate, which is default in private windows, I don't think I should be getting hardcore porn results even if I'm searching for hardcore porn terms.

Aside from that, 99% (or maybe all) of my searches are "not many sites contain what you want to see, so here's a ton of other shit to wade through", necessitating another tedious, furious click to get what I asked for.

Not many results contain covid? Okay. The only reason to DDG is to add !g or !s or even !b to every search.
In the true EE parts reduction fashion, you don't even need two capacitors. One capacitor plus a switch works out similarly - in fact it's an equivalent circuit. Everyone has an intuition for shorting a capacitor (zap!). When there are very few components defining a system, the parasitic components must be significant.

Reframe it this way: decision making managers and executives need to be in the office to do their work, thus they want their peons to be working away right near them as well. The decision makers are doing a different kind of work than the workers, that is the issue.
"The founder makes all decisions, big and small, without a formal process or input from others. Decisions are made in crisis mode, with little forward planning. Staff meetings are held generally to rally the troops, get status reports, and assign tasks. There is little meaningful strategic development, or shared executive agreement on objectives with limited or a complete lack of professional development."

This is meant to sound negative, but there are a lot of upsides to this. Design by committee, analysis paralysis, lack of agility, diffusion of responsibility and many more problems plague organizations that attempt to achieve the opposite of this "cowboy approach".

For instance, "Founder's Syndrome" would apply to Apple with Steve Jobs at the helm - as opposed to IBM, which is run "by the book". Most people don't even know who runs IBM, nor do they care about IBM products.

If you have a charismatic founder, you have to ride that wave, because it's a unique opportunity. Having somebody with the ability to "rally the troops" is invaluable. You can't just hire somebody to do that for you. If you have too many concerns about this, take your money (or your labor) elsewhere, but keep in mind that "playing it safe" is risky as well.
Timmy Pool purports to be a leftist / Sanders supporter but his audience are fringe rightwing/alt-rightists who after listening to his show for awhile tend to become full blown alt-right.

Part of his schtick is that he claims to be a leftist while concern trolling for the alt-right.

Not saying Joe does this but claiming to support Bernie and then publicly saying you'd prefer to vote for trump than Biden doesn't make me confident in his progressive bonafides.

I disagree. There are many YouTube political commentators pulling in more daily views than CNN. Younger people hate the typical mainstream media outlet because they know it's full of propaganda.
Sure. But you'd be able to take home even more money if they were paying SF salaries. It is a fine arrangement as it stands but the big companies are extracting a greater percentage of your labor since they can afford to pay you less and you will accept less.
Sure there are many plausible series of events that lead from a dead planet to one shimmering with life. My main question isn't if it's possible...we have direct evidence that it is. My question is more related to the probability and how much of a 'happy path' that our little spot in the universe had to have in order to lead us to where we are today. Going back to the origin of my question, it's easy to say 'all we need is the right key and we can decrypt this file' and wave away the fact that all of the atoms in the universe could be recruited for the cause and not have a chance in hell to guess the correct key in all known time.
Because "great search" is not even close to good enough and handles only a fraction of the features.
