> We sell the training for those skills to anyone willing to pay as part of a huge education industry. You can just buy the textbooks on amazon or get many of them along with any other materials for free.

Education is necessary but not sufficiency, because the manufacturing secrets are sometimes intentionally secret, and sometimes simply the result of a process that isn't reproducible.

If you want a programming analogy, imagine if China had all the source code but no binaries. But worse, because there aren't codified programming languages to describe arbitrary industrial processes.

> Smaller countries in the west who couldn't possibly stand up the the big "bully" economies, and less developed regions like the US south, all have developed right up the cutting-edge with everyone else.

Do you know of any country (excluding tiny ones like Singapore) that became advanced without some sort of IP theft?

------

To be clear I am not arguing that the US + China relationship has been good or moral or whatever other positive quality. The US should have instead had better foreign aid policies to help countries develop---none of that IMF liberalization bullshit, but actual useful stuff like:

1. You can tariff us and we won't retaliate

2. We invest in your physical infrastructure

3. We give you IP and shit so your industry can ween itself

However, this very sweet deal comes with commensurately strict conditions:

1. Democracy

2. Unionizaiton

3. Gini coefficient maximum

4. Wage floor

5. Worker governance requirements.

It's really depressing that US foreign policy has been a objectiveless fucking joke entirely captured by the nefarious interests of corporations and bored rich people.

The idea is, these collectors informed Credit bureaus of the negative tradelines. Now, they come after you to see what they can get. If you pay them back, there is no guarantee that they will inform the credit bureaus you have paid; essentially, leaving that damage on your report until 7 years from their time of reporting elapses.

A Pay-For-Delete seems to suggest that you should double check terms you are being offered for an explicit contract clause that binds them to report the resolution of the debt to credit bureaus.

While we haven't formalised our back-to-work plan, I don't imagine it would change much from pre-COVID. I'm someone who craves a strict separation of home and work, but this can be achieved anywhere, not specifically in an office.

However, we did find benefits from meeting in-person once a week, for discussions and back-and-forths that can be resolved much faster in person. We also do our weekly standup on that day.

It's probably a colossal waste of money to have the office sit empty the rest of the week, but it works for us (and we got a pretty good deal on the lease)

I read something once that said, if low levels of mercury really made a difference in anything important, it would be apparent on a large scale particularly in Japan, due to seafood consumption.

So that's my rationale for not obsessing over it in general.

When you start worrying about an insidious problem affecting a huge number of people, it seems to me the first response should be to ask what natural experiment exists.
There is nothing you can do but laugh at the stupidity in medical billing. I've asked for it before like this too, and they respond with 1 line item that says "service - total". I asked "when the doctor mistakenly did that 1 test on me, was it part of the total charges" and they couldn't answer.

There are price sheets with unique codes on them that are used for billing in hospitals. These price sheets are used for a provider (hospital) to send to your payor (your insurance). They have the minimum amount of information on them to get the insurance company to pay their portion. They are not set up for the actual human being being treated to understand or find them useful. It's a systemic problem with the way the industry is configured. Good luck changing it.

>There is no magical essence to markets that justifies any agreed pricing point as the best price that ever could be.

True. Has anybody claimed the opposite? The only thing market ensures is that both sides agree with transaction. Which is the best you can get.

>Sounds like it does matter in your argument because here you are constructing a satisfaction criteria that hinges on not knowing the other offers.

I do not do such thing. Even more, I specifically ask why would it matter if you knew about other offers? If you are okay to work for 30K then why you are suddenly not okay if you learn that somebody else gets paid 50K at the same company? This makes no sense to me. Even considering opposite, you know in advance that other people got 50K for the similar position and you are offered 30K, what would be different? It's not like you are going to get 50K just because of your knowledge of other salaries. And you can always ask for 50K with or without such knowledge.

>I was thinking more of labor markets in some European countries

Reddit bans women's and feminist subs in their clean-up effort
CDC estimates 35K US deaths from the flu last year. Most people got the flu in some form or another.

We’re more than triple the number of deaths from Covid, and we just don’t know who’s gotten it and who hasn’t yet.

It has a wide range of effects, most seem to not know it happened, a few are killed quickly, and in between a bunch are debilitated for a couple of weeks. I haven’t noticed having it, I know people who have. Extended family has died from it.

The transmissibility and the wide range of responses confounds everyone who can only handle simple rules about what to think and do.

I agree that many of the published stats are not that useful, and the sledgehammer shutdowns needed to be careful fine-grained tracking and harm control. None of the points above relate to the narrative, though, but rather to bits and pieces of stuff.
We, supposedly the richest nation on earth, cannot get our act together to test effectively or treat effectively. Lockdown damage, ineffective travel bans at the beginning (ban travel, but with tons of sentimental exceptions? No ban at all, really) is self-inflicted harm.

Depends on what it is I think. We discussed the idea of "expansion packs" which would enable certain funtionality as a sort of "limited config" hack. https://github.com/romefrontend/rome/issues/173

I specifically call out not allowing smaller communities to grow that don't have the advantage of their community size being forcing functions for support. It's the most compelling reason to me to even have any sort of plugin or custom rules system in the first place.

Although we didn't go through with that idea because they can just be enabled by default since the patterns they're linting for are unambiguous, I guess that applies to any additional ones, although so far the way we've approved these sort of these has been adhoc. There's a strong desire though to formalize some "approval process" for lint rules and more typical project decisions.

Too late. Those debts are already there, and there is nothing to stop them from piling up new debts in the years ahead. Whether or not uncle sam sends money to debt collectors doesn't change the root problem (the sickening financial position many people find themselves in to start with).
Google-worries aside, judging from the preview it's pretty slow. I'm not a super-fast typer, but these delays sure look like something that would discourage me from actually using it.

I thought that's where law student interns come in. Basically law firms hire law students. When stuff like this comes up, the real lawyer can give hints to the law student and the law student goes talk with the client. The law student has no real obligation as far as the Bar goes (because they're just a student). The real lawyer also never made any direct advice to the client so they are also off the hook.

I've tried to make a Valentine's Day website for my wife every year. This first one, with animations, was when she was playing Words With Friends alot. It actually got some attention on Reddit when she posted it: http://abbymudd.islovedby.travisbriggs.com/

This one was kind of thrown together:
https://abbymudd.isverybeautiful.travisbriggs.com/

Also, as part of our bedtime routine, I write my wife a love letter email every day. They're pretty short, usually around 5-8 sentences. Well for Love Letter #400 (we celebrate certain numbers) I plugged all the previous letters into the GPT-2 small model (74 I think?) and came up with a fine-tuned model to generate automatic love letters.

I know that sounds cheesy and contrived, but she loved it. She thinks the computer letters are hilarious and remarks that some of them, I could send to her, and she wouldn't even notice the difference.

(Not going to link the GPT-2 website because it's a bit intimate).

Even if we could only implement vertical farming at a similar level of productivity to traditional agriculture on a horizontal basis (although it seems from the paper that we could do a lot better than this), with a unit height on the order 1 metre/unit, we could still achieve productive densities hundreds if not thousands of times higher, given sufficient power and building technology.

The off-site team-building events are not "outside of work". You are being paid for your presence and provided room and board at a company retreat. You are expected to be up, dressed, fed, and shaved (for men anyway) at 6:45am when things get rolling. Everyone knows this and is expected to be there (unless they are sick). If someone boozes it up the night before and is too hung over to show, it says something about their values (or lack thereof).

I read the anxiety as far less being about popularity than past trauma from the Javascript ecosystem and the whiplash it went through before it settled on the React/Vue/Typescript world we have today. When you go through that much change in the past, you really need a good argument to be convinced to try something new.

As a developer, I haven't had any qualms with ESLint, so I wouldn't really have any reason to pick up Rome. Now if the full tool set offers lots of things, then I might consider replacing my current Vue template / create-react-app, but that's a big step.

All of this to say, no, it's not an appeal to authority. It's sounds like a "I'm not sure I can imagine this being worth switching to because we have something that works and is stable now, and we haven't had a great track record with tooling churn in JS world". It's a value add question.
