> Only because your initial argument was based on the notion that the dark ages awaited us if the US pulled out of trade route protection in its attempts to fill the vacumm left behind Rome, when in reality that it's clearly not true

I entered this thread after your false claim that “the US didn't intervene” in Somali piracy. It’s not my fault you got that point of fact wrong. It’s also not my fault that you refuse to concede that point of fact and make inappropriate assumptions about my personal motivations. The only thing you are proving is your own inability or refusal to disagree in good faith.
Japan is probably the only country in the world where this kind of vending machine could survive, for a while at least.

Anywhere else it would be torn apart for the 'bounty' inside. Wouldn't last as long as it took to build. Its looters would probably feel a sense of pride in doing so because they'd be "destroying capitalism." Hurrah!
Besides losing money, the biggest thing that bothers me about USPS is the sheer volume of waste they deliver to my mailbox every month. That is a lot of diesel and gasoline burnt, not to mention raw materials to create the paper that it's printed on. We could make a massive dent in greenhouse emissions by charging actual prices.
> subsidising death of American citizens via fentayl.

LOL, do you really think people buy chinese fentanyl 'cos the shipping per gram is a few cents cheaper than it would be if they had to pay higher shipping rents?
> You seem to be describing a meritocracy which, if I understand correctly, is an ideal promoted by white supremacists?

White supremacists might say they want a meritocracy, but most/all of them actually don't. They just want to create filters slightly more subtle than "no X allowed" signs for their establishments.

> having a "context" log, where you write the current progress, and what to do next

yup critical. I do this and even if it gives me a 10-minute head start at the beginning of a work session, that means way more successful work sessions in a crazy week

I've started splitting my high-level todo list (tradeoffs + optimization) from my 'stream' todo list (next 5 linear things) -- the latter is useful for context + obstacles.

Writing down obstacles + setbacks also helps here.

This has nothing to do stylistically, with how people post on Wall Street bets and its pretty reasonable economic commentary given the events of the last few weeks.

But Microsoft is a "clear success" and only one year older than Apple? Does Apple only need to survive one more year to be a success?
>I don't know where your "human wants are unlimited" comes from and is a pretty big statement to make to not back it up with evidence.

For evidence, look at the average savings rate in developed countries. It wants were limited, it would be higher. It's also the case that savings rate doesn't increase as income increase (in fact the inverse is often true; compare savings rates in poorer China and Indian to the US).

Clearly humans want things; this is the default case. To show this stops at some stage should require evidence.

>Traffic accidents, environmental pollution, obesity, divorce all increase GDP, not sure if they fulfill human wants.

Driving, cheap energy, tasty food and divorce clearly satisfy human wants.

It is not a matter of the shipping cost. Can you please state which statement do you find ludicrous ?

1. Chinese fentayl shipments do not need to have high weight due to purity. Mentioned explicitly in the trade commission report linked above.

2. Due to 1), it is convenient to leverage e-packet shipment as inspection of massive volume of e-packet shipments is near impossible.

3. Small-scale US businesses were adversely affected by e-packet rates

That's good then. If I pretended you were homogeneous with me (ignored color, the root of this thread), I'd not have had this conversation and learned that sensory overload can be caused by heat. This is exactly the sort of thing I want to happen throughout offices across America.

Life is a mess hence why I don't think we should pretend otherwise. You don't want help, cool! Some do. I've been told this explicitly. If I act on a general rule of thumb of keeping the dialogue open, that would mean people like you can say "no thanks, I don't need help," and that's that.

Most managers in these companies don't manage people. It is title slapped on roles to make them sound glorious for future cv purpose. They don't have team they would directed. I was manager for project of exactly one person, me, that took 4 months and most time I spent coding some with analysis.

I mean, we have office manager and she is mostly making sure we have enough print paper and such. In old times, she would be administration.

Enjoying the article. Looks like there's a math typo at the tail of the "Precision Bound" section:

$$ \log\left(\frac{x e}{n}\right) \leq \frac{1}{n}\log(\eta) $$

is not equivalent to

$$ \frac{xe}{n} \leq \eta^{-n} $$

The latter should be

$$ \frac{xe}{n} \leq \eta^{1/n} $$

and the "$x^{-n}$" in the following paragraph should be changed accordingly.

Certainly understandable flub, though. Working with logarithms, it's easy to mix up minus sign vs. 1/n conversions.

As a person who just returned from Tokyo and sometimes plays with traditional jazz bands, I’m going to say Tokyo has a great atmosphere and thirst for jazz but rarely did I ever hear anything comparable to New York or New Orleans. It’s not lack of talent, Japanese musicians are incredibly talented. I think it’s more a lack of exposure to jazz pre-1950 or outside of the lounge genre context. It’s even hard for some professional American musicians to get because of trad jazz’s distinct feel.

Throw on Basie’s “Jive at Five” or Ory’s “Savoy Blues” and you can get an idea of the genres (swing / nola jazz).
I agree that it's very unclear why that is required.

The source IP (v4 or v6) address for the record update, along with the timestamp of update, is already sufficiently identifying, and would be obtained even offhand in a query process to check a given area for interference issues.

The requirement to use GPS also practically mandates that these routers HAVE a GPS receiver inside.

My biggest worries relate to the cost and probable barrier to projects like OpenWRT supporting these devices.
Swing in Shibuya is a real treat. I stayed in an Airbnb in the same building and found it by accident. I sat in there all day ripping cigs, drinking highballs and listening to old school bangers. The guy who owns it, Suzuki-San tends the bar and picks the tracks. He also plays trombone in a jazz band. I probably shaved 3 years off my life in the course of three hours but I’d stop in here anytime I’m in Tokyo.
>and it certainly doesn't follow that nobody is harmed by any permissive migration scheme.

I've seen these responses a lot to the economic case for migration, the general tone being that economists are too simplistic in their model of migration, some fall through the cracks and so on, but what always seems to be ignored is that the exact same argument applies to political measures limiting migration.

In fact the politicization of migration restriction for populist, racist reasons and so on is significantly stronger and a bigger threat than the downsides of the economic case for open migration.

People in tech are very well acquainted with this logic when it comes to regulatory capture.
For a large majority of consumers the amount of data they use per month is only slightly correlated with their internet speed.

They have a certain amount of data they want to use in a month. If their speed goes up or down the amount of data they want to use stays about the same--the speed just determines how long they have to wait for downloads.

You might look into Comcast's XFi Advantage plan, which includes unlimited data. The cost varies by location but I think it is around $15/month in most. You also have to be renting their modem, so add another $10-14/month. You can add unlimited data to any plan, but that's $50/month. Doing it via XFi Advantage is about half of that.
It's interesting phrasing to say that Germany "sent" their best and brightest, as opposed to Germany causing the best and the brightest to flee for their lives, or the US simply arresting and politely kidnapping scientists(ie during Operation Paperclip).

>What country based discrimination are you seeing?

It just decided to temporarily ban the vast majority of people from all countries other than the US from working in the US.
You are right if you are comfortable with your editor you're not missing a lot. I tried Emacs for a while it's nice and comfortable the moment your brain get used to the keyboard shortkeys though since it's a different word you start running everything in Emacs and it becomes your OS. Why it can be a problem is another story. Anyway I switched back to use different tools for different jobs. For taking notes and managing them I use Joplin it supports markdown, todo lists, etc. and you can even copy paste images into the editor. Lots of other features as well as sync with different backends.

> Also, there is a weakness in testing, namely that even racialists think things like intelligence are partly non-shared environment, so if you set a lower bar filter from a population with lower average IQ, then while the people you get will meet your threshhold, their children would often not (assuming this supposed genetic difference exists), which is relevant to immigration rules.

So are we going to kick out in-group children from the country when their IQ scores aren't high enough? No? Then that is a a bad argument.

Also, I have been trying to avoid the whole debate on what IQ test actually measure...
Its slightly ridiculous that a company in the same city as me has to pay more to mail me a package than a company in China. Especially if the difference in shipping costs is subsidized by American taxpayers. I'm not crazy about tariffs, but I'm even less crazy about the idea of the USPS giving foreign companies such a huge advantage over domestic ones
The important things is that the US doesn't have VAT, which makes up the majority of the cost. The de minimis value for import duty is much higher, and the rate is much lower.

> Is there some special property of the US that makes it immoral to control its territory like other nations?

Whether or not other people/nations do something is not a good arbiter of morality. But that aside, most other countries didn't just impose a large-scale immigration ban like the US just did.
I guess that if shipping cost $200, only very lucrative goods like fentanyl would be shipped. That would reduce that the total shipping volume to something that was possible for the border guards to inspect in order to find drugs.
Which makes it useless for porting anything that people actually use nowadays.
No, by racism I meant specifically racial issues, not just etnical ones and not just national ones.

In United States, it would be cleansing of land from natives and rhetoric around it. It would be rhetoric of slavery and later Jim crow and so on. In Europe it would be very eacial ideology of Nazi and previously pogroms and relationships against Jews. In Africa, I am pretty sure colonial history applies. In Asia, check out Rwanda for genocide or Japan for general racism.

I missed Africa, because I never really read much about any part of their history, unlike Europe, United States and Rwanda. Not sure why that would be issue.

Currently by law, immigrants from a given country can only represent 7% of the overall immigration flow into the US per year. That isn't explicit country-based discrimination, but it effectively discriminates against China and India. If China were 10 nations of 150M people, and not 1 nation of 1,500M people, more people from those 10 nations could immigrate to the US than can today from China.
They keep things around as long as someone is using it and someone is willing to maintain it. Apparently, there are still nerds out there willing to maintain the Mac II support, but none willing to maintain the 386 support.
They're a great alternative for color in more general cases as well, especially for material with accessibility concerns!
They are not absolutely wrong. Old macOS versions do get security updates sometimes. Almost all the time when something really critical has bern found, but the most current macOS is receiving much more security updates. And i dont believe that these more security bugs are only in the newest version. Maybe they are hard to fix in old versions because they can‘t be backported?

It really doesn't.

It's not zero sum, but the article doesn't properly demonstrate that the positives outweigh the negatives. There is a wide spectrum between "total wages are fixed" and "total wages scale 1:1 with immigration", and the tradeoff is only worth it above a certain point.
Are not all free countries doing the same thing? There must be a reason the drain seems to be feeding the US.

that fertility rates correlate inversely is, strictly speaking, true, but many confounding factors mean that a causal relationship is harder to pin down.

for instance, wealth disparity creates economic vortexes that suck people (women particularly) into unproductive economic outputs, like finance rather than childcare, not to mention a comfortable home life is increasingly out of reach for relatively more and more people. increasing corruption and general unfairness lead people to lose faith and opt out of productive life altogether.

gdp is certainly gamed as well, and leaves out some very important productivity measures, again, like childcare and homemaking, because these are historically seen as "free".

My speculations:

(1) there are people who are so keen on keeping 68K/Macintosh/etc support alive that they keep on working on it, while maybe no one displayed the same keenness when it came to 386

(2) 386 complicates code paths for 32-bit x86, which people still care about (even if only a little) for real world production use. By contrast, 68K stuff sits in its own directory tree and has little impact on the rest of the kernel
Only by percentage, not by number. I think he was ranking them by absolute number.
One of my tricks is to relax into it. I'm just gonna write some code and get something (anything) done. If it's shit I can "git checkout -- ." and walk away. If I don't get it done it doesn't matter. I need to depressurize it so it feels different to normal work. If something fucks up in prod, do the minimum to fix it, schedule the refactor for "mañana".

The 386 lacked support for some basic atomic primitives like CMPXCHG. It was possible to work around this, but it took a significant amount of extra code for a configuration that was essentially extinct in the wild.

The presence of these workarounds was an obstacle to maintenance of other x86 code. Meanwhile, the presence of a driver for an old Macintosh system is hardly an obstacle to anyone.
Agribusiness frequently wants to pay laborers less than minimum wage, without benefits, and without paying tax on the labor. Saying that Americans don't want to work for $5/hour under the table doesn't imply that they don't want to work those jobs generally.

> a profession that has some limitation to demand

This is the lump of labor fallacy. No profession is so fundamentally limited in the long term and no skills are set in stone.

The article explains the national labor market effects (lower marginal cost, higher marginal benefit), but we are still not done. Resources are allocated more efficiently in the international labor market with permissive schemes, as each individual seeks the greatest marginal benefit for their labor (their comparative advantage).

> The H1B scheme

H1B is a restrictive immigration scheme. The recent policy change is even more restrictive. Everyone is worse off relative to having been completely permissive all along.

To switch immediately to a permissive scheme would likely cause short-term unemployment in certain fields. But over the long term, people's skills can be changed or applied more efficiently, and new entrants will choose to develop skills that maximize utility.
Blew past my expectations. Excellent (first) animation.

So much for not playing politics, the only reply I get being one that falsely calls Trump a Nazi sympathizer.

> yes they are but let's not forget one side of politics literally said people carrying swastikas are very fine people as well

I'll assume you're not being sarcastic, and perhaps just inadvertently making my case. What Trump said about Charlottesville was literally the opposite of what the media reported him saying. Watch the actual video of his remarks, or read the full transcript.

If you're willing to examine the actual primary source evidence in that case, perhaps it will help you take a fresh look at how COVID is reported w.r.t Trump as well.

As to your question, no I was not equating that. I am saying just one of many, many flubs was when Democrats called COVID a "manufactured crisis" in the early stages as it was unfolding during impeachment. Instead of pushing the Administration to do me, COVID response was made out to be a red herring or a con used as a distraction. Before we even knew was SARS-CoV-2 was, the response was already being irreparably politicized.
It only does if there are more packages that can be sent or hair that can be cut. With a shrinking population, both are untrue.
You can thank Trump for stopping airline arrivals from China on Jan. 31. He went against the entire world to protect the US, and took a lot of heat for it.
