Yes, this is true. Many people that move want to get rid of their pianos, they are heavy and need some pretty specialized gear if they are not on the ground floor to move them. But grand pianos are usually worth at least something simply because people like them as furniture even if they can't play at all.

CL isn't very active here in NL as far as I know but Marktplaats has lots of listings and there are also quite a few thrift stores that will sell pianos for very little money. Even so, you can expect about a 100 euros or thereabouts to move one.

> My answer would be that none of the activities you list (with the possible exception of the kind of wannabe entrepreneurship the paper is talking about) are conspicuous consumption.

That’s a valid response, although I don’t agree. Note that I’m not regarding these activities to be entirely about conspicuous consumption, just like the paper doesn’t claim all of entrepreneurship is veblenian. Fwiw the paper does cite another work that claims some internships can be viewed as a form of conspicuous consumption.
You're being downvoted but...you're objectively correct. As Noam Chomsky said, "if we do not believe in freedom of speech for those we despise we do not believe in it at all." Or Voltaire: "I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it."

It is my problem with meetings & calls; I have no issue with effective meetings, however, a lot of people I work with (but ofcourse not all), treat meetings and voice calls just as a reminder/recap. They basically do not remember most of anything and don’t read/write anything either. So the people who take notes, read the minutes and read the docs have to sit through hours or rehash per week.

I cannot imagine how much time/money is lost by this in the world.
Another trick for reducing tail latency with minimal utilization increase is to fire the second call earlier but send a cancellation signal when the first response arrives (e.g. a udp packet is usually good enough).

This works when the cost of managing the request queue is low relative to the coat of serving the requests themselves (usually true whenever there is some IO involved).
I am curious about the differences he observed between these two groups.
There might be a "to" too many in your statement. The answer probably is laughing gas, if not crack cocaine.
I'd argue adding is the right calculation in many situations, since in most cases you wouldn't receive the benefits of the next risk if you die the first time.

So for example, if working in a coal mine is 10 micromorts per work day, and you choose to do it each day, it seems pretty reasonable to call that 10 * 5 days * 50 work weeks = 2500 micromorts per year. You're "paying" that cost each time you decide to go to work, and if you decide to work next year it won't somehow "cost" less micromorts – the possible yous who died last year won't be around to make the decision.

It's been done. For example it is possible to take an image through a CNN, generate box proposals and make a list of embeddings extracted from the boxes. That would be a bag of visual tokens. Then continue the sequence with text tokens and train it to solve a reasoning task.

You could only have such a system in an environment with a huge power imbalance between the sender and recipient, like Tim Cook sending a message to an Apple IC engineer. But with that kind of power imbalance all of these things happen anyways -- if an individual engineer gets an email from Tim Cook he definitely isn't firing off a poorly-thought-out reply from a mobile device.
Let's go wilder: it's a little bit of both. There wasn't anything in the crack/cocaine epidemic that suggested white fear of the same thing happening to them; drug addiction was seen as a moral failure which white society, as a whole, was immune to. Rather, the fear was that the drug epidemic would affect white communities through spillover effects in terms of crime and an expanded welfare state.

What actually happened?

White people weren't immune to widespread addiction after all. (This would have been obvious if Americans had connected alcoholism to illegal drug addiction, or, well, black and white people not actually being biologically different in regards to addiction, but we weren't ready for that.) Our conscious decision not to treat the crack/cocaine epidemic as a public health crisis, because of the racial associations involved therein, meant we were unprepared to deal with the opioid epidemic in an effective manner.

But this also serves as a nice example for what you've observed, because the way that the opioid crisis began to be handled once it finally came out of the shadows was directly informed by how America had seen blacks treated in "Drug War I". The impetus for the swift, soft policies that were put in place were 100% the result of reflection on the destruction drug-related incarceration and public and private divestment of black communities wrought on those caught in the first epidemic.

But I also want to point out that you're coming at the subject from a white perspective: "It happened to black people, so white people are scared it will happen to them." I want to hit you with the black perspective: "It happened to black people, so it is GOING to happen to white people unless you listen to our stories (and here are some examples of what happened when you didn't)." In this light, it's ironic that you would label me the conspiracy theorist. In a lot of these situations, white Americans are paranoid; black Americans are experienced. And it often takes a white person synergizing what we already know into academ-ese for people to take our warnings seriously.

About 6 years ago I took ownership of a very complex subsystem at work in order to fix a bunch of issues. Things started working after I fixed them, so I moved on to other things. No one else stepped to maintain it, so work done on it was minimal since then. Bugs kept appearing (the rest of the system changes a lot), and I still get emails with bug reports and/or people trying to understand the code asking me for training or even worse: patch review requests. I'm not even in the same team anymore!
This is an interesting point. Why does it feel like these blogs are getting shallower? For PG, more of his older blog posts were more interesting than his newer ones, with more concreteness in advice and experiences. The latest ones seem more observational of trends instead, which can be more vague in nature.

True, the moving part is not free. Also, some may not be in perfect condition and may need tuning or more costly work, but certainly not $10,000. But, as a starting point, it's something.

Cool article, I enjoyed the demo.
The "Player of Games" by Ian M Banks takes place in a far-future society in which the abundance is so high that many people do pass the time playing games or whatever else enriches their lives. The question is: since we long since passed the point at which most people could work one day a week and maintain the level of abundance that existed in the 1960s, is that the society that we want to live in?
in systems with unprotected memory, you would actually access the address; even though you accessed it, it is a violation, the result is undefined. When there is protected memory, what catches the violation is outside of your process space. It is a violation; possibly I should not have said OS, it's a hardware violation.

I'm not the only one who says this, look at the name, -V

edit: actually, though hardware support is required for certain OS features, it's the OS that sets up the segmentation and the fault handlers so ... it is ultimately an OS contract.

Bullets 2 and 3 combined are actually recommended for spoken communications as well. As the listener, before responding, it's a good habit to say "This is what I understand about your proposal" and proceed to summarize and give the original speaker an opportunity to correct you.

Probably over half of the communications problems I've seen at work are because people don't follow this basic practice. They respond based on what they understood, not based on what the speaker was saying.

As one book I read put it: You should be able to reflect their world view back to them as if you yourself are advocating for it (even if you completely disagree). When you do this, they'll believe you understand them. For many people, only then will they listen to your critiques.

I strongly agree with most of your post (I think Out of this World and Prince of Persia both look and play well even today) but I think you're overstating the visuals of DOOM vs SuperHot. If you look for clips of DOOM (so as to bypass the rose tinted glasses of the mind's eye) and compare it to SuperHot, DOOM looks worse in every aspect except maybe that it's more colorful. DOOM is pixelated, has worse looking environments, and overall looks way worse
-- though of course it looked great to me when it was released! SuperHot looks great in an abstracted, decolorized sort of way.

The original link was already the entire thread on one page. The problem we're complaining about is that the thread very clearly isn't intended to say what happened. No effort is made in that direction; there is not even a hint that it was a goal. It's about as appropriate of a recommendation as an unrelated article in National Geographic.
This opens up some excellent tax avoidance strategies.

I'm assuming this is available also for IRA and Roth IRA. What you do is setup two transactions: One that will lose money in the IRA, and the other that will gain in the Roth IRA. (A straddle.) Make sure you execute both at the same time (if it's a thinly traded security you can end up trading with yourself, but that's not necessary).

Then sell, and do it again.

You effectively move money from IRA to Roth IRA. (And yes it's legal, I contacted the IRS and asked.)

In the open market you can only move a small percent at a time, but with private equity the gains and losses are much greater and you can effectively move all your money.
> All colours are independent

Ahm in fact no. They are interdependent. Or else we would not have brown. Brown is a color which can not exist by itself.

Also additive and subtractive color theory are not opposing but two complementing part of a larger more complex color theory consulting of the additivity of light mixing the substraction of light abortion and the way our human mind further messed with how we see the work (e.g. brown).

A person saying that additive and substantive theory are two separate opposing theories implies this person doesn't understand colors or physics. In the end colors are the combination of the way light physically interacts with the world and the human mind.

Through on sad truth is that many education systems teach a lot of wrong things like wrong color circles. Or they more the fact that thinks like a color circle are just a convenient partial representation of the truth...

Public safety costs are a sunk cost (staff are on call, vehicles are paid for), they will exist regardless. Society should bear the cost of reasonable exploration efforts by citizens, even by those who are unknowingly underprepared. That is a muscle we should be expected to flex as humans. The best way to learn is to do.

I would agree that after your second or third rescue though, you're becoming a nuisance and should bear some of the cost.
You absolutely can; just don't define "hostile work environment" in such a way that a person's private (out of the workplace) beliefs would constitute a violation. Sexual harassment and racial slurs in the workplace? Violation. Promoting fascism or communism on your personal Twitter (provided your personal Twitter really is personal and not professional)? No violation. Sexual or racial discrimination in the workplace? Violation. Seems tractable enough to me.

> Your "personal choice" may end up risking the lives of search and rescue personnel,

This is the standard answer everyone gives, and it makes no logical sense.
I worked search and rescue, and have plenty of friends that have it as their full-time occupation.

Search and rescue personal are trained professionals, who willingly signed up for that career, and who love being in the back-country. They know full and well what they're getting into, and going out and rescuing people is the definition of their chosen career. If there was nobody to rescue, they wouldn't be able to support themselves doing what they love.

In fact when there are no rescues for a while they go out in their helicopters and practice all the "dangerous" stuff putting their "lives in danger". So even if there was nobody to rescue, they'd still be out there.

Following on from your logic, it only makes sense we should ban open fireplaces and cigarettes in houses because that's the leading cause of house fires, which then put fireman's lives in danger.

> and costing the public hundreds of thousands of dollars

Please don't exaggerate, it detracts from the discussion.

The average heli rescue costs around $10k (heli's are smack on $1k/hr), and in many jurisdictions if the person getting rescued was doing something stupid, they foot the bill, not the public.

I wrote Emergency Remote[0] for companies thrown into remote due to the situation.

From my experience, it seems that the reason companies use sync communication and "emulating" an office is not because they don't understand the benefits of async, but because of the required discipline.

Fortunately, that discipline is required vastly more of the initiator of the conversation. This allows the recipient to quite easily refuse sync communication. This way employees can help each other out and get used to async.

I'm using my self-built reader called Feedist (not public) . It's extremely lightweight and built in boring PHP. The most important feature to me is the personal recommendation page which shows me the top 50 new posts in my subscribed feeds based on my previous reading behavior. It uses almost the same scoring algorithm as HN behind the scenes. It's so accurate and saves me a ton of time. Subscribing to a lot of feeds creates a lot of noise and this makes it easier to find content I might enjoy.

>Are there any activities left that doesn’t function as a form of conspicuous consumption?

I would guess anything that doesn't involve exchanging money for an object or experience, in which the quality and/or duration of the object/experience increases with increased cost.

Some ideas off the top of my head:

- Volunteering your time locally in your community (soup kitchen, tutoring underprivileged kids, coaching youth sports, etc.)

- Building interpersonal relationships with new people

- Putting work in to maintain existing interpersonal relationships

- Meditation, mindfulness

- Building a tangible skill that takes intense study/practice over a time scale of multiple years to be considered an expert (craftsmanship, visual arts, martial arts, athletics, etc.)
I suspect the goal is to make fun of conspiracy theorists, since the issues they discuss are non-issues to anyone who paid attention in grade-school physics (or even art class). I imagine there are plenty of conspiracy theorists who will fall for it, since they are deeply biased to give in to their paranoia about figures of authority.
Google launches and then kills new products so frequently it makes me extremely reluctant to try anything new. Best case the product sucks and I don't care. Worst case I love it and they shut it down a year later. I'm otherwise a pretty enthusiastic early adopter of most things tech, but when Google is the brand behind it I feel like it's not worth even looking until the thing has become huge otherwise it's just going to get shuttered.
