I recommend that people not use such email templates: instead, just produce simple, unvarnished content that roughly matches what you’d produce if you just wrote a normal email manually in your normal email client.

Note that I’m not saying “use text/plain and no text/html part” as some will; you’re welcome to use HTML (though I do say, please provide a good text/plain part), but see what life’s like if you roughly limit yourself to paragraphs, lists, inline formatting, images (where useful, not just gratuitous) and maybe headings and tables (strictly for data, not for layout; receipts often benefit from tables). And maybe a company or product logo to go with it, but not formatted fancily. Maybe go a teeny bit fancy for a big call-to-action button—or perhaps just try having it as a bold link in a paragraph of its own.

> How are you sure that your senses provide you with an accurate representation of the world?

I agree - you don't even know that your senses are providing you with an accurate representation of the world. But, if I say 'this is a table' you can come and check the truth of it. In the objective world, I can confirm a thing and say 'I know'. I can tell you how I found out, and you can check the veracity of my statement.

If, say, I have a box, and I say 'inside the box is a potato', in the context of what we are talking about you have a couple of options. You can check (verify) whether that's true. Or you can accept it as true without checking.

I'm saying, everyone - EVERYONE - is accepting claims all day long, without any proof. No one is checking.

And this has become the basis of people's reality. A consensus group think determined by what is presented on a screen.
The process to unsubscribe should be no more onerous than the process to subscribe. The NYT falls flat on this one intentionally I'm sure.
There are research SOECs that have exceeded 99% efficiency, owing to the fact that the inefficiency at direct electrical conversion gets expended as heat which lowers the electrical energy levels required for water molecules to split.

Basically start with an 80% efficient electrolyzed, but insulate the cell to capture all of the expended heat energy and use it to lower the need for electricity to split the cell. This is possible because of SOEC operating temperature ranges which wouldn't be possible with a PEM cell.

I should also add that on the other end of the hydrogen energy cycle, production SOFCs are about 60% efficient at converting hydrogen to electricity, not 45%. And the temperatures of the waste heat are high enough to efficiently convert to electricity, bringing total electrical efficiency up to the 70-80% range. Oh, and they can use hydrocarbon fuels too.
I'm not sure if it's still the case, but...

That's exactly the problem. Apple doesn't want any notification of this to be visible to the user in the app. The fact that the app handles the user's email isn't guaranteed to be a relevant distinction to the random reviewer who is tasked with reviewing the app.

Apple has not spelled out clearly that this is okay for them to do, which means that it is a risk.

The user would be receiving a literal iOS notification from this app that talks about upgrades available outside the app.
>When you are forging the document and claiming the document is from the FBI, you are fully t acting as an FBI agent

That's sophistry and confuses the issue. One is absolutely not acting as an FBI agent when forging FBI documents. There is a clear and common-sense difference between impersonation and forgery, and you seem to be misusing language to willfully misunderstand the difference.

When you're forging the document, you are not pretending to be an FBI agent. You are being a forger. The forger then claims that the FBI made the document.

Saying, "The FBI made these documents and here they are" is fundamentally different than saying, "I made these documents and am with the FBI." They do not collapse into the same thing.

To be honest, I still would hope forging FBI documents is a crime in the same way that impersonating an FBI agent is a crime; however that's a matter of law. It is a matter of fact that forgery and impersonation are different. One is falsifying documents, the other is falsifying identity. If you want to say that both can be reduced to falsification or deception, sure, but that's not a crime. Forgery (falsifying documents) and impersonation (falsifying identity) are crimes, and separate ones.
I think one think that happens when society functions better is that things seem worse, because the improvement in information transmission that accompanies the improvement in societal function results in more light being shone on problems that for ages had been kept in the dark.

To give a concrete example: the late 1800s saw growing awareness of the miserable conditions endured by the poor, especially those working in factories in newly industrialzed cities.

Yet the quality of life of the typical person was much poorer before industrialization, with most people working as subsistence farming and facing the ever-present danger of starvation and diseases linked to privation.

It was the very resources unlocked by industrialization that increased the time people could expend on acquiring literacy and the ability of people to publish written work, that led to people communicating and becoming conscious about the misery that the poor endured.

Levine's articles are very educational and interesting at the same time.

He uses a style that sometimes takes an obscure and bland topic to become very interesting; Thereby making the reader interested in the topic.

That he has done this consistently over a period shows the mettle of the man.

Reading through his early career background leaves clues to his current success. It reminds me of how Jamie Dimon went about his early career in https://leveragethoughts.substack.com/p/early-career-tactics...

Proximity to a major city still has advantages like access to cultural events, good healthcare, etc. even if you don't need to go into the city for work. And, indeed, historically tech companies were in the suburbs rather than the city itself. Boston basically didn't have any major tech employers within the city limits for a period even though there were many in the suburbs. So even people who may not want to actually live in a major city might still want to be within an hour or two of one.

I'd argue it sort of has played out. A handful of companies are willing to pay almost anything for the people they want, especially if they're located in SV. Pretty much everyone else has shrugged their shoulders and moved on. And it works because 1.) Hiring is a very inexact process and 2.) Not everyone want to work for one of the big tech companies for various reasons.
> brain drain would not be as rampant if the countries themselves as a matter of policy emphasised investing in research.

That is far from the only reason. If you check metrics on HDI indices, economic and social freedom indices and other institutional performance metrics, you will see those countries having multiple problems. Those who emigrated are not doing so in the name of science but because they happen to have desirable, transferable skills and can leave their homelands.

> Note also that a significant portion of the current problems bogging these nations down stems from conflict along religious and sectarian lines

By the same token this is an oversimplified mischaracterization. Problems are due to authoritarian regimes with corrupt institutions; from higher education to a lack of functioning justice system, which both hamper things internally but also reduces foreign investment in those countries.

I switched ripgrep to clap 4 years ago. And that was well after clap had already become the popular "go to" solution.

Some parts of the ecosystem are more stable than others. That's true. And it takes work to know which things are stable and which aren't.

And yet, some things just take a longer time to improve. lazy_static has been stable and unchanged for a very long time and it works just fine. You don't need to switch to once_cell if you don't want to. lazy_static isn't going anywhere. The real change here, I think, is that we're hoping to get a portion of once_cell into std so that you don't need a dependency at all for it.

The async ecosystem is definitely moving more quickly because it just hasn't had that much time to stabilize. If you're using async in Rust right now then you're probably an early adopter and you'll want to make sure you're okay with the costs that come with that.
Timezones are still going to matter when it comes to remote work. I work on a team that was historically distributed in the US West and JAPAC regions. Communication was fine, because there was enough overlap that we could easily schedule meetings with everyone. But once we started adding team members in Europe, communication became significantly more challenging.

There may also be legal reasons for companies to hire within a certain country. For example, government contracts might stipulate that only US citizens are allowed to have access to production servers.

So while I definitely think that adoption of remote work will result in more opportunities for people living outside of traditional tech hotspots, I think we will still continue to see individual companies preferring to hire within certain countries and regions.

Really interesting to see this. I'm a co-founder of AdviceBridge, where we have implemented part of the UK tax code related to income tax and pensions in order to provide digital financial advice.

In the UK, the HMRC (again, equivalent of IRS) makes worksheets available for computational tax but these are not machine-readable and are not guaranteed to be correct! (Indeed on some points, government websites give incorrect information related to the state pension. [1])

We did something similar to this approach but much simpler - we wrote a little arithmetic language specifying the tax rules, embedded in a spreadsheet for quick verification, and then translated this language into C++ using a Haskell compiler.

The article says "handwriting", but there's nothing to support cursive vs. printing as a contributing factor.

Otherwise, I believe it. There's a reason we have a practice called "whiteboarding" in tech, and one of the biggest adjustments to remote work for me has been using digital whiteboards.

Is this really that compelling? I find it with lots of rhetorical flourish, but lacking the analysis of how the rich really do enrich themselves.

> They did this by setting up what was, in reality, a two-tiered investment system — one for the insiders who knew the real numbers, and another for the lay investor who was invited to chase soaring prices the banks themselves knew were irrational

What does this mean? Why wouldn't the other banks short the post-IPO tech companies if they knew the "real prices" and make off with a killing.

And what even is a bubble? If you had invested in a tech ETF at the peak of the 2000s bubble, you would have still outperformed the market by 2020. So were the 2003 prices that far off?

> Why are there expensive rewards programs? Because consumers like them!

I'm not convinced of this. The credit card costs are already baked into prices and so as a consumer I can either play the cc rewards game and get back a decent chunk of those fees or I can use cash and a few % of each purchase I make goes towards subsidizing the folks who do play the rewards game.

This is not a situation that can be resolved by consumer choice, because you'll never get millions of people to all voluntarily agree to give up hundreds of dollars a year in the vague hope of some change down the line.

I think implicit in your argument is a belief that utility ("interests") trumps identity ("who we are") in loyalty dynamics. I think that belief is.. not universal..

I believe the OP was suggesting that externally-imposed boundaries can hold areas in an unstable state for long periods of time, but when they are gone there is unrest that takes time to achieve a stable society and that scientific progress is best achieved when people arent worried aobut their food/safety/corrupt warlord.
I use this a lot in REPL driven development when combined with tests, each time I save the file all my tests run. But sometimes I don't want certain blocks of code to run or compiled as they are just there to be sent to the REPL for my own testing / development.

> FAANG companies somehow convinced themselves that paying $500K for talent in SV made sense even if they could get similar talent basically anywhere else in the US for less

Could they? The market for 500K engineers is very different than 60K or 100K.

With remote work, you'll see a handful of organizations getting the top talent across all locales, and the local companies who won't be able to compete be stuck with the rest. It's a winner-takes-all situation that will now happen on a global scale.

How so, exactly? This is kind of an odd moment, where the US president is deeply incompetent and a shameless liar, and some seem to think it's biased for the mainstream media to even point those facts out.

There are definitely some aspects of the traditional media that fit your description (all cable opinion shows are best avoided by everyone), but that's by no means all of the media.
The text on this site is so annoying to read due to lack of contrast.
And honestly, I have no problem with Apple even insisting there be an Apple IAP model (like they require "Sign in with Apple" offered alongside alternatives). Because choosing to pay the Apple tax is perfectly fine, especially if you feel it provides you benefits.

The issue is Apple's requirement that you can only use IAP, cannot offer alternative, cheaper, prices, cannot direct people to your website to sign up for things, and cannot even disclose what portion of the bill goes to Apple.

Your post proves Apple could still make money with offering it as an option for informed users. But Apple is being a bully and a thug by disallowing alternatives, and actively preventing app developers from telling people about them.

What Epic did with Fortnite should be the gold standard: Buy direct or pay through Apple. The latter providing potentially better privacy/security and user experience at a price premium.

I know. I just thought I'd throw that out there since no one else did.
When you test, and in one case you find something different to what is presented, what do you do?

Do you, blame yourself? Accept that everything else is true? Accept that nothing else is true?

My position is that I am happy to continue as before, but I won't overstate my case. I won't say 'I know' when I don't. I can accept that what is presented as true, may in fact be true, but I don't know it. I would be lying if I did.

So, when you say viruses, or atoms, or whatever exist, but you have not personally verified that, you should be clear that you do not know. You may think such-and-such is the case, but if you state something without personal verification, you run the risk of repeating a lie, and misleading the next person.
Libraries can declare "I require semantic x or semantic y." Applications can as well. If an application says it needs semantic x, and a library says it requires semantic y, you get a compile error.

Most libraries do not depend on a particular semantic, in my experience.
No, it doesn't --- no more than the collective intelligence of a beehive or an ant colony. Emergent complexity is nothing new. This article is just trying to capture some of the buzz around psychedelics to jazz up a point that's actually pretty banal.
unlike parent
I think it can honestly be traced down to just how wide a stretch of usecases Rust itself has managed to span. For systems, this arguably is "something you always want to explicitly handle", whereas for applications it's almost always "something where you just want to abort". The level of abstraction is very different, but a single language is spanning both. Or, more precisely, a single standard library.

Just spitballing: maybe one solution could be an alternate set of standard primitives, specifically for low-level work, that do return a Result for everything that might trigger OOM? Maybe those could be abstracted out of the current standard library, and the existing ("application-level") APIs could wrap them with a panic?
Generally common stock has voting power.
Big aside from the actual content, but is there a name for the formatting in the text files like `freegrm4.txt`? Each line has a number of distributed extra spaces so that every line ends with the ending of a word. It makes it really pleasant to read, kind of like a newspaper.
I wonder how many bugs C strings have been responsible for, all because storing a null byte at the end seems more efficient than storing a length up front.
