Why? You’re able to box this out in a customized context (and it is since social political intuition is subjective to one’s experience).

It’s important to be able to think critically and with nuance, of course, why must avoiding “harming capitalism” when capitalism causes tons of harm across contexts of science and culture, be avoided?

It’s not a person it’s ideological guidelines. Surely jabbing at any ideology as frequently as the public wishes must be tolerated in a free society.

So why the boxing in and protectionism of capitalism at all? Whatever this reality is it’s obviously only moving towards it’s destruction.

Why should clinging to historical emotional objects be a priority of our critical thinking education in a universe smashing itself apart?

Why capitalism? Or Catholicism? Certainly other frameworks would achieve a similar statistical balance of haves versus have nots, since real logistical distribution mirrors monarchism, and other historical hierarchies.

If that’s what we’re going for, why the pretense? Just legislate gamed logistical distribution as a goal. No need for syntactic jargon unless the real goal is obscurantism.

Numbers don’t lie: capitalism is just another generational emotional game, obligation to defer to hierarchy, like the others humanity binned. What’s so important about it?
Finally!

I’ve said this for years. It’s always been ignored or downvotes to oblivion, but maybe it’s finally catching on?

It’s not an end-consumer problem, because the further down the manufacturing and delivery chain you go the more difficult it becomes to recycle.
> There is a lot of value in removing political activists from your company, and so it's worth paying them to leave.

Your company should be 100% political activists, but (at least during work hours) they should be focused on advancing the mission of your organization.

Even within activist groups you have the exact same problem that Joe is talking about, e.g. at some point in the 90s Adbusters went from lobbying against advertising to just generally supporting any leftist cause. And that's why every highway (except in Vermont, Alaska, Hawaii, and Maine) is still lined with billboards 25+ years later. The only way for an organization to accomplish its mission is to actually focus on solving the specific problem they're trying to solve, not to get distracted by trying to fix every random problem that exists in the world.
Not just past reputation, but there must be a very real cost or providing free GPU and TPUs even if they are older models.

I think it is inevitable Google will kill it unless they can monetize it and turn a Google-sized profit. Right now the Pro version is not even available outside the USA and I doubt it is priced to make a profit.

Make no mistake though: those days are coming. It's just a matter of how soon. And no government will give a shit to stop it.
When it comes to anything Bluetooth and speakers I tend to look at Oluv's Gadgets on YouTube first, since that guy actually posts frequency response measurements of a wide variety of speakers. Seems like there is a wide variety of products featured but it is biased towards lower cost options.

> Why is someone who doesn't need that level of flexibility and wants an ordinary full time job going to choose that over Walmart?

Why are you assuming there are always other jobs available? In the case when there is, I can see your point. But when there are not it's no longer a choice. Sometimes it's better to just things off of the table to make the whole system better. And yeah it does suck for people in unique circumstances. It's really a balancing act that requires nuance and compromise.

bill gates has no authority to mandate anything in relation to covid. The only thing he has the authority to do is either:

a) provide the vaccine for free to those who want it

b) sell the vaccine to those who want it.

the second he forces anyone anywhere to take his vaccine without their consent is the second that he becomes a tyrant.

I think it’s a valid question, but one I’d say ‘yes’ to.

In the absence of shareholders or a profit motive, the networks would have the same capacity to influence and manipulate, and so there would still be an incentive for people to seek to control them to obtain this power, for which money is just a proxy.

There is no counterfactual ‘on their own’ to compare to.

I think we absolutely should be thinking about how to mitigate the incentive problems, which is exactly why I think the article is bad.

See kordlessagain’s comment which is a peer to mine here. I don’t necessarily think kordlessagain is right (although they may be), but this is exactly the kind of constructive thinking the article is discouraging, which is why I see it as so terrible.

The Drift ️
The reason this is not done is that you want the channel of your transistors to consist of a fully epitaxial layer (that is, an entirely clean and regular lattice of atoms) of silicon for best performance. It's not possible to deposit such layers, they are only formed during crystal formation when the silicon ingot is formed.

3d-nand is built sort of like you propose (except that instead of 10000 vertically stacked layers, they are up to a few hundred), but they get away with using sucky polysilicon for their channel because only a very small part of the chip is ever lit at the same time, so it's okay for the channels to leak like a sieve.
with Microchip you get more than crappy docs. You get plenty of bugs in the hardware. After spending weeks finding one you report it and they say "Yeah, we know.". I still use them. Once you patch and work around all the bugs you can get somewhere nice.

Some examples on pic24fj256gb108: The onboard BOR circuit cannot be trusted. One of the GPIO is listed in the data sheet as being a real GPIO, but the driver is missing because it was used for a USB feature.

You don't want to work for a consulting company (i.e Accenture, KPMG etc), you want to be a consultant.

For the first type of role, you're essentially hired help to solve non-technical problems in broken well-capitalised businesses, whereas in the second you're hired individually for your own skills. The second type are normally much more flexible with respect to remote and lack of travelling.
The US Military Wants Access to SpaceX’s Satellite Constellation
You don’t think the United States should be a little more compassionate towards people trying to find a better deal in life than what their previous home could offer? As an American, I have had life pretty good, but that was purely by luck. I could have been born into any other country on the planet. In reality, many of these people which you call illegal alien cockroaches did not have the means of coming to the United States legally. In some cases, they risked their life just for a chance to make it to the border. Have some compassion.
Not to justify it, and I don't have an answer, but won't most sufficiently competitive activities devolve to this in an arms race?
‘We Might Not Make It’: The Math Simply Doesn’t Work for NYC Restaurants
Thank you for your comments. I'm not sure how to take the "lack imagination" bit, but I'll accept it.

I've automated what I'm allowed to automate, which is all user, group, file sharing, Exchange Online/O365 stuff, as well as backups, etc.

I don't like Google any more than MS, to be honest. Sadly, it seems that wherever I work, it's either O365 or Google Cloud offerings.

Why do you think moving away from MS at this time is bad? I'm curious.

Sadly, there are not a heap of good IT jobs where I live, so I'm limited in what I can do and where I can work, hence my desire to learn something like Python where I can branch out and maybe take on consulting jobs. I'm also hearing that things like Docker, Kubernetes, etc. are starting to wear thin with serverless objects being the new thing.

I appreciate your comments.

Edmond Halley (the astronomer and polymath who studied Halley's Comet) made a similar observation in 1693 after compiling the first modern mortality table.

> [I]t may perhaps not be an unacceptable thing to infer from the same Tables, how unjustly we repine at the shortness of our Lives, and think our selves wronged if we attain not Old Age; whereas it appears hereby, that the one half of those that are born are dead in Seventeen years time, 1238 being in that time reduced to 616. So that instead of murmuring at what we call an untimely Death, we ought [...] to account it as a Blessing that we have survived, perhaps by many Years, that Period of Life, whereat the one half of the whole Race of Mankind does not arrive.

Avoiding lawsuits is not at all the same as attempting to deal with the issue honestly as opposed to framing it in the same light as some new kind of competitive marketplace.
OP here,

The Thinking Toolbox by Bluedorn is pretty good. The target age starts at 12-13.

For me, this is still too advanced for the age range 6-8 I am looking for. The biggest challenge is taking these abstract ideas and making them accessible and interesting to a child.

I taught a few lessons in Scratch programming last year to grades 1-5. Before I conceptualized the lessons, I had listened to the audio book Made to Stick. I found this was helpful in thinking about how I should communicate these abstract ideas about programming to younger kids.
Right, but what’s the probability of a leak? And average amount of water lost, before it’s repaired?

Well I think that at least in some cases there are other options, though I'm not sure how realistic they are in modern society. Where I grew up it would be considered highly inappropriate for a man to coach girls sports. It was taken as a matter of course that girls should be coached and supervised by women.

This attitude comes with other side effects that might not be desirable, and it doesn't do much to prevent the rape of young boys. Still, there is a partial mitigation here if you want your daughter to be able to compete without having the gatekeeper be a man.

As an aside, I am vaguely aware that cheerleading is considered a legitimate competitive sport, but my only exposure to it is from NBA and NFL, where it seems to me a rather ridiculously sexualized objectification of women. I love watching football but I wish they got rid of the cheerleaders. And if I had a daughter, I'd rather she take up a sport like football or basketball or soccer or motorcycle racing than join a cheerleading squad. I acknowledge that my biases here might be way off base. Please show me where I'm wrong, I'd like to understand what I'm missing. Why are people in the west in with this?

The US is effectively the only place in the world where circumventing DRM is actually illegal and prosecute-able, every other country has various exemptions and bypasses that remove its teeth.

> draw a line between mission-related politics and all other politics

Agreed. I wonder if they will take some word smithing to the mission statement. Even with the clarification and interpretation presented in the blog post, "economic freedom" encompasses a lot of "other politics". It is a helluva juggling act to want a diverse, thriving team, and a singular shared definition of economic freedom across that team.

More practically, I wonder how it will be debated. Who within the organization has confidence to debate where the line is drawn beyond what the CEO has shared? Is it the board?
Gee, I think that if I was engaging in insider trading I would use something that could be set to not save any old messages...

This is interesting. I am working on a tool (sourcespy.com) to create diagrams specifically because maintaining large diagrams in Inkscape and Lucidchart is cumbersome. Another pain is grouping the nodes. I wish there was something interactive where care about semantics and tool takes care of node arrangement.
> but have a warm safe place to sleep with a locked door and fridge seems reasonable.

Yeah, that seems reasonable to me but we also know that there's a great deal of variation on all of the details there (warm, safe, locked door, refrigerator). I see it as necessary to allow/require individuals to make the decisions on all those details. I see it as a necessary condition for people to be free.

> People shouldn't have to spend all their time working, even if they have no worthwhile skills. Just because someone has no economic value doesn't mean they don't have human value. They should still have a life.

I'm sympathetic to this outlook. It's the details of it where I get tripped up with people. One area in particular is the state where someone has no worthwhile skills. I think that while a human being has no less dignity when he has no worthwhile skills, that is an unsustainable state that needs work. Similarly, I question the implicit assumption that there is a connection between someone's economic value and intrinsic worth as a human being. Perhaps what we disagree on what is it looks like for a society to place minimum acceptable value on such life.

> Those require money and time, not easily obtained. Also, the people who need it most are those with the least amount of access to it.

I don't dispute that money and time are required, and that it may not be easy. However I still maintain the responsibility lies in those individuals/workers.

> This is personal question, but I say no. Even if you don't agree, then maybe you'll agree with this "The best reason to feed the barbarians at the gate is to keep them out of your gate". Law & order is a democracy, and when enough people decide that the current order doesn't benefit them, it ends.

There is a version of the statement I could agree with, but in your specific statement of barbarians at the gate, it's also a possibility to not feed them. It really depends and since it's a hypothetical I don't want to engage with it too much. But I do agree that you can't expect to build up a huge class of miserable people and expect stability forever. The question to me is, how can we best serve them? I adamantly prefer to teach and raise them up, difficult as that may be, then to place demands/restrictions on employers.
That's what I'm talking about. I'm super comfortable reading the man pages for things, but if a tool wants to take over all the boilerplate and do things for me, awesome! Sure, I can add a function by editing rc files. That doesn't scare me one bit. But... why? There's a lot to be said for convention over configuration.

For context, for a while I was the FreeBSD port maintainer for shells/bash-completion. I'm (too) familiar with the plumbing of various shells. I can do all the manual work myself, but there are lots of things I'd rather be doing instead.

I got a fun compiler ignorance bug.

Me: I have memory corruption when I call your API.
IBM: trust us, our API DLL is perfectly compatible with your old Windows 32 bit client program! We changed nothing!
Me: I have stack overruns. 4 bytes of return value from you overwrite 4 bytes of variables, whatever I declare last in my function.
IBM: look at the source of our API façade! It's unchanged! (it was, except for harmless additions).
Me: your compiled code is fairly similar, but the return value is bigger. (At this point, I was already on very friendly terms with Ghidra and with the Visual Studio remote debugger.)
IBM: we just recompiled our code!

But they recompiled it with a newer compiler: time_t had changed from 32 to 64 bits, changing the size of the returned unions in their DLL but not in my client.
When my family fled from Switzerland in the 1600s and went to Germany, we had to pay extra tax there as "undesirables." This was after having our farms burned and being imprisoned in Switzerland for being "the other".

While you slander those who come from south of you, I could just as easily talk about the "cockroaches" from California who have "invaded" Cascadia, bringing with them an alien way of life and running up our cost of living.

Point being, while you are busy spreading your venomous bile, never forget that we are all immigrants from somewhere and that to someone we are "the other." Sooner we realize we are all human and we'd better all start working together, the sooner we might actually figure out sane immigration policies. Better move quick because Mother Nature is mad and there's a whole lot of places that aren't going to be fun to live in the next century.

I appreciate your comment, but let's be honest, good and evil are binary like night and day. I don't cotton to the idea that one's morals can be suspended in "twilight". There are ways to make tons of money and be completely moral.
I agree that free products like Twitter or Facebook create this problem since advertisers, politicians, and media become the customers, and user attention and engagement becomes the product.

I still think the underlying problem is profit though, since these companies offer free product in order to get the largest user base (since social networks benefit from this scale). Maximizing user base size leads to more profit since they have more and larger media, politician, and advertising customers. Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram would not be anywhere near as successful if all the users were required to pay a subscription fee.

It's an inherent contradiction between social networks and profit that cannot, in my view at least, be resolved.

Or, you could assume a hypothetical based on how the gym industry actually works (outside of COVID lockdowns):

Company A gyms successfully advertise that their gyms are nicer, safer, cleaner, and members pay several hundreds of dollars each month, while Company B gyms rely on being cheap and get members who are only willing to pay $10/month.

I am of course talking about gyms like Equinox and David Barton, which were flourishing and adding new locations, vs gyms like Planet Fitness which were shutting down gyms because $10/month/member means you need a lot of members just to pay rent.

OTOH, middle-market gyms like Golds, 24 Hour, and LA Fitness compete directly against each other and live or die based on the quality of their facilities and staff, and any reduction in a gym's quality generally boosts its nearby competitors.
