at the very least, the speaker should probably have to indicate in some way that what they're saying is private. like if I invite you into my home and we have a discussion about the best brand of kitchen sponge, you shouldn't automatically be prohibited from sharing my recommendation with others.

> If I was flat out telling my family I didn't like race X and wished that religion Y could be outlawed, and then shared in the public realm that racists are terrible and that freedom of religion for all is paramount...shouldn't someone be able to call me out on it? And if not me, imagine a person of some power or influence: don't we want to know when someone's public political stance is different to how they really feel?

perhaps it's because I'm privileged, but I don't really see how this is a problem? does it really matter if someone holds abhorrent beliefs privately if everything they do in public (and at their job) is consistent with their publicly espoused views? if instead of only confiding in close family members, the person abused the privacy protection to spread their views to many private groups, this would start to blur the line.

a more clear cut example would be if someone privately expressed a credible and imminent plan to harm someone else. you would definitely want an exception for that.

You can use epistemology to reduce any physical concept of the universe to "a concept of the mind, like numbers" by simply stating that we are all humans with minds, therefore anything we conceive or think of is simply a concept in the mind.

Outside of our minds, however, change does occur. Stars spend their fuel, galaxies spawn and migrate, rocks orbit stars in a periodic nature. The English word "time" is obviously a concept, and no matter which human word we use for "time", it's simply one way of measuring these changes we see around us. How can we measure the elapsing period over which we observe all natural phenomenon? That is the second, that is the unit of time.

There's also physics here: space-time. If we think of time as a concept of the mind purely, as you propose, then we also must consider space purely a concept as well, since Einstein proved space-time is a correct notion.

That’s not true. As long as you’re taking into account the median purchasing power, it doesn’t matter what the shape of the distribution is.

All my colleagues that have been lazy have basically been “push-driven” while normal people are pull-driven (find more work to take). Problem is that it’s not the boss that gets blamed when the deadline is not delivered, its the team on the floor that has to take up the slack and push through. And everyone try to be nice and just accept that some people are slackers. I understand the anger some people might have, but at the end of the day there will always be more work.
But then there's so many others like me who don't give a damn about these points, mostly because they mean very less in this community.

Pelican is an underdog among static site generators but still has a very simple mental model [1] of readers, writers and generators.So it becomes easy to extend and work with. Not sure why it’s not as popular, but after working with Jekyll, Hugo and Nikola Pelican seems better designed with decent code structure. From the documentation:

“What Pelican does is take a list of files and process them into some sort of output. Usually, the input files are reStructuredText and Markdown files, and the output is a blog, but both input and output can be anything you want.”

[1] https://docs.getpelican.com/en/stable/internals.html#overall...
The analysis of probabilistic algorithms usually differentiates between inputs and random choices you make when running the algorithm.

You can analyze the worst case on the input while at the same time doing probability theory on the random choices. And since you control the random choice, you can impose nearly any reasonable distribution you feel like. (You just have to 'pay' for the generation of the random bits. Economizing on the number of random bits involved is just as much an area of research as economizing on runtime or memory.)

Of course, you can also analyze randomly distributed inputs. But that's a different beast, because in practice you seldom have a good handle on those distributions.

>if by "that" you mean the ability to buy a decent house for yourself then the answer is that it would be an extremely poor proxy ... almost uncorrelated.

Let's be clear that being arrested for a new crime is different than being convicted of a new crime. Given that none of the murderers in that overview went back to prison, I'm inclined to think that their conviction rate is low.

Keep in mind also that being an ex-con in a community likely puts you at the top of the PD's suspect list for new crimes, and that reintegration with society is difficult, so imprisonment (regardless of crime) makes recidivism more likely.
No, I'm not. I'm implying that in my eyes it's hypocritical to complain about being indexed by Google with snippets while benefiting hugely from that [0]. Site owners can control what Google indexes and if a snippet shall be displayed [1].

> Real median per capita income is the highest its ever been regardless of which inflation index you use

Median is very misleading because of rise in income inequality. More than 50% of gains in median income last 20 years have gone to the top 25% https://www.pewsocialtrends.org/2020/01/09/trends-in-income-...

And working less hours is also skewed by the rise of millions of gig jobs that don't have set hours.

The top 25% of the population is doing great by any measure. But when you discard the top 25%, the rest doesn't look so good. Income inequality in US is higher than almost every other industrialized nation. As high as it was in the 30's when massive social unrest gave rise to unions and worker protections.

When you factor in student loan debt and minimum wage being degraded by inflation and gig jobs, the bottom 50% are poorer than ever. As of this year, student loans have eclipsed credit card and auto loans as the second largest form of consumer debt behind mortgages

I own a business. If I was to do a full inventory, I would probably find I'm in the possession of tens of thousands of items. I'm currently in the situation where something breaks daily. It has forced me into being very picky. I no longer buy things, if I can avoid it. Every thing I buy has the potential of being a problem down the line that will require time and attention. Even disposing of broken things can be a big hassle. If I do buy something, brand new, I will take a close look at it and think about how it will fail. And try to reinforce those failure points.
Minimalism is definitely a valid strategy, at large scales.
O(5n) is the same thing as O(n), because we ignore constant factors in O notation.

In theory Flatpak allows for sharing of dependencies and has sandboxing built in. This comes at the cost of needing special tooling, a repo, and non-portable (portable here meaning you can put the files wherever you want) applications. In practice you're probably better off using Firejail or the like on AppImage if you want the sandboxing anyway, because of things like the issues noted in the article. Snap is like Flatpak but even worse because it is entirely controlled by canonical.

Rust has all that functionality, but as the author mentioned, they avoided using enums and match statements because it led to more runtime errors and they were specifically trying to incur compile time errors. This is why they choose to use trait objects and type definitions to control state transitions.

IMHO, chasing a "real profession" in software is an illusion to begin with but I suppose some mental models about a career can be useful.

Comparing to the law or medical careers is a farce. The law doesn't change quickly, and medicine hardly changes at all from year to year. Our mental models of civilization don't really change much from year to year. And the human body doesn't visibly evolve even from decade to decade. Of course it's easier to have a meaningful certification in those fields.

Software still changes incredibly quickly. Not as quickly as in the 1990's -- but not slowly enough to warrant blanket certification bureaucracy that will just have to change in 5-10 years.

Really what you want is for gig / delivery style jobs to be unionized, or for it to not be legal or easy for sole operators to work with a bicycle and a backpack. I think we want limits the ability of companies like uber to employ people as contractors. If you force them to have a staff and to manage their staff, then their workers talent is important.

But at that price point, I'll probably make the trip to get my own pizza / take out.

The gig economy isn't really gig's it more about the externalization of laziness. And companies breaking the social contract IMHO. They are creating such serious problems long term for the work forces that lose effective labor to these crap jobs.

I'm Australia, I live a far distance from and India restaurant I like. I'll still do the drive to pickup my food. If I use some gig delivery app then I'm pretty sure I'm asking for someone to do work for me that's probably unpaid in some extent. I know almost to 100% that they don't have superannuation and anything near the benefits that I had when I worked in crappy jobs when I was younger.

This also irks me from a employment participation standpoint. In the tech world, people bemoad "the best minds of my generation working out how to make people click adds" etc. But no ones talking about what happens to a few generations of people that are forced into pay cheque to pay cheque living and the down stream social welfare and or retirement cost of these shit jobs.

We're letting a lot of companies make money off the future well being of their workforce who happen to also be our citizens.

I've lived for multiple years in Singapore, Shanghai and Hong Kong. I think they're all great.

For the sake of argument, I'll try to keep this about Tokyo, but a key observation of mine is that _all_ of Japan is like this.

Objectively, Tokyo has the lowest pollution. Singapore is close, on average, but it can have awful week-long spikes. Tokyo has the lowest crime rate. Again, Singapore is basically the same, but it does have a high incarceration rate. Japan has the lowest income inequality gap (couldn't find Tokyo-specific statistics). Japan has the highest life expectancy and the lowest infant mortality rate (tied with Singapore re infant mortality). Japan also has the highest rate of people who completed tertiary education.

Pollution and income inequality are, for me, major indicators. Income equality benefits everyone; and, as much as I love Singapore (I really do), it's hard for me to consider it an ideal future city because of this (and the inequality has a racial aspect which, I think, is the source of its persistence).

The lockdown highlighted the worst in every country. Both China and Singapore had clear failings (and successes).

I guess we're measuring "future" differently. Technology vs [e]quality of life.
