This is a great analysis. I'm not sure why you're being downvoted.

Warren Buffet is known for an investment strategy that diminished diversification and instead encouraged investing in businesses that you actually understand. The argument is essentially that diversification is an investment tool for the ignorant who lack the time or inclination to research what it is they are actually investing in.

Combining that investment strategy with your argument: selective and informed investing is not only the safe bet but also the ethical one.

Layoff.WTF Needs Your Support
Layoffs are brutal. Four of my closest friends lost their jobs in the last ~6 months; and have been struggling to find a new one. What pains me the most is that none of them ever thought they'd lose their job and were totally unprepared for job loss financially.

I decided to launch https://layoff.wtf network to support those who have lost jobs. If you are searching for a job or can help in any way; I request you to join our waitlist. We currently have ~1300 people and are on-boarding users every day.

If you have questions, comments; I'll be happy to answer.

I don't. This might be true with dramas where the plot is a big component of it, but certainly not for episodic comedies.

Yeah, the Simpsons isn't something I care to watch anymore, and the Office's final seasons without Michael Scott weren't as good. But I'd still much rather have more episodes of content I enjoy than less for the sake of "the complete package". It sucks when a show gets cancelled without an end, but while we're here, the American Office had a fine ending and I'm much happier with the many seasons of it over the British one.

"Matt Hancock is wrong about herd immunity"
Venezuela was done-in by so-called "Dutch disease"-- over-reliance on natural resource extraction, including subsidies for gasoline that made it nearly free-- and Chavez's corruption. He allowed his buddies to buy dollars at the "official" exchange rate which was 4 orders of magnitude out of line with the market rate. Flat-out robbery of the Venezuelan people.

Corporate capitalism is theft, but that doesn't mean all socialists are good or that no socialists are thieves.

I volunteer with a lot of high-school kids, and from what I've seen, they've been okay for the most part when it comes to mental health, except for those who have toxic families and who use school as an escape (to get out of the house, recharge, etc.).

I'm fairly early in my career and I've still had moments where I felt the same way.

The way I dealt with them is by accepting that this is just a job. Whenever there's an argument, unless I'm going to end up doing something completely distasteful I generally go with the flow. This has both cut down on bikeshedding, and helped me save my energy and attention for things I care about.

Of course, this isn't going to work for everyone. The way I thought of it was in terms of the Gervais principle[1], particularly this section:

> The Losers like to feel good about their lives. They are the happiness seekers, rather than will-to-power players, and enter and exit reactively, in response to the meta-Darwinian trends in the economy. But they have no more loyalty to the firm than the Sociopaths. They do have a loyalty to individual people, and a commitment to finding fulfillment through work when they can, and coasting when they cannot.

Feels odd to admit you're a loser, but hey, it works for me.

Like the Tripods series? :.(
Netflix not only stops shows before you even got a chance to see it (I'm not among those who look for new content all the time - I try to follow what I'm currently watching), but Netflix also removes movies, some of them classics, after some time. So when my wife says she would like to watch something she's been wanting to watch, and I look it up, I find that it used to be on Netflix but it's not there anymore. It's been like that for every movie she's asked about.
I'm wondering why having Netflix at all. It feels like a pointless waste of money, something my wife now keeps mentioning, and I'm very close to terminate the whole deal.

Netflix, you're wasting my money. I'm not getting what I expected to get from you. I will be spend my money on something else than you.
Solid state devices can still fail from mechanical stress. Heat cycling and strong magnetic fields could be a problem for wireless charging even if they don’t need to be. The core issue is generally trying to use the cheapest solution, not just mechanical stress.

Ethernet connectors are probably the best example of this, for servers that might be moved every few years their cheap and maintain a solid connection. It’s really desktops and especially laptops where they become such a major issue.
Yes, both employer and employee taxes affect the tax wedge [0] and you should factor both in when calculating how much you are taxed as your employer 100% is factoring in the employer tax when calculating how much to pay you.

These look great, and much cheaper than I expected. I already have a couple of the big HomePods and they're great, but I couldn't quite bring myself to buy any more for rooms that I really just want the smart assistant stuff in. But for this price I'll pick up three I think.

I'm sure my wife is going to drive me up the wall with the intercom feature though!
Perhaps I misunderstand you.

Say I'm writing tests for lets say ShoppingCart.

ShoppingCart depends on an implementation of ICartDiscountCalculator (CartDiscountCalculator)

CartDiscountCalculator depends on a number of implementations of ICartDiscountStrategy (ChristmasCartDiscountStrategy, VIPCustomerDiscountStrategy, BulkPurchaseDiscountStrategy, etc)

Each of those, in turn has their own dependencies, perhaps webservice calls, db calls, accessing caches, etc.

The way I would test ShoppingCart would be to mock out ICartDiscountCalculator, and provide known responses.

Are you suggesting instead that you build up the dependency graph - i.e the actual implementation of the discount calculator, the strategies, etc - and only mock when it goes to external code (eg the DB calls)?

This would seem to make testing very very difficult - since each test needs to know implementation details of everything it depends on.
> One layer deeper, it commoditizes people's time, making them more replaceable and lowering what one's salary can buy even longer.

More or less you have summarized Karl Marx's conclusions in Das Kapital. "as capital accumulates the situation of the worker, be his payment high or low, must grow worse". The commoditization of peoples time is the way the capitalism extracts value from work.

And yes, this last stage of capitalism will be the toughest for the people..

I'm the target demographic for Dark Crystal as I read a ton of fantasy, but I watched one episode and had no real desire to continue on. It was just kinda boring. I subscribe to r/fantasy and this is a fairly common opinion there as well.

In comparison, I can't say for sure that The Witcher series is super high quality, but it managed to be pretty exciting and I enjoyed it for that.
> Imagine learning that the growth exactly resembles of actions of WWII Nazis against Jews, only now by Zionist Jews against Palestinians.

If you learn that anywhere, I think you're talking to antisemites. It's really not the same, it's not similar beyond "a state does stuff, Nazi Germany was a state, Israel is a state, so it's the same", but that's not a useful comparison.

> If you're German, you might feel especially emotional about it, given the shared history.

I'm German, I don't feel especially emotional about it, and I often do feel like that the obsession with Israel is more about "see, the Jews are doing it too, we're not so bad" and less about "what a terrible thing". Exactly because most people are very upset about Israel doing stuff and completely ignore far worse things being done by others.

As for Turkey: you don't need to go back to the Armenian Genocide. Turkey still occupies parts of Cyprus, is de-facto annexing parts of Syria and is working closely with what has been formerly known as ISIS, currently sending them to Azerbaijan to fight against Armenia.

The point is: if a vendor would say "we don't sell to Israel because of ethics" but sells to countries that are ethically far worse, their problem obviously isn't ethical in nature. Their problem would be Israel. Nevertheless, FinFisher didn't, so it's hypothetical. They probably didn't sell to Israel either, because Israel has no need to buy, having a strong security industry with lots of vendors for offensive tools.

It's irrelevant that a bottle of coke has more here. My argument is even if you're being good and skipping candy/soda...etc that just the normal food you eat is loaded with the stuff. White bread, most cereal, sauces...goes on and on. There are items without it, but it's more expensive and certainly hard to say no to the sugary stuff even when we knows it's bad.

I'll cede that I misspoke when I said it couldn't be found at all, but it certainly takes more effort.
That will be up to Spotify. I switched from Spotify to Apple Music because Spotify won’t support cellular streaming.

> We don't realize that when the money people get their hands on data, that unless we are extremely editorial in the context in which they interpret and use that data, it's going to be a disaster.

This is an absolutely fantastic point and applies in more contexts than that of publishing. You absolutely must be editorial in what you present to people who are higher up in the decision process and are less able to interpret the data. It often isn't just the money people, it is also your bosses and their bosses. It is a matter of presenting things with an eye towards the best possible outcomes, and understanding where things would get confusing for someone who is only half paying attention.

Turning off one light is not hard. Walking through the house in the evening to make sure the kids didn't leave lights on (and to lock up the various doors, and set the thermostat back, etc) is annoying.

Definitely.

In my case Iodine caused it.

I have Hashimoto's Disease.

Thing is, many people with genes for it never develop the disease, or develop it only later in their life... I started showing symptons when I was 14.

Completely by coincidence I found out it was the government's fault, a lot of people, me included, developed the disease suddenly, at same time, and what happened at that time was that the government increased mandatory iodine levels in the salt, it caused an explosion of hypothyroidism cases, they then scaled it back and new cases returned to the average.

Problem is that people that had the disease triggered by Iodine never come back to normal no matter what.
Parts of the US are already like that. You're lucky you don't live in one, but many people do. And unless you have significant savings, even more people are less than six months and a depression/recession job loss away from there.

There's already been MMO minesweeper games which are essentially infinite in all directions, similar to panning in Google maps.

IMO these solve the problem at the start of the game, because there's already an exposed edge you can work from. Someone, somewhere, had to make the first click; but from that point on every other player has a choice to avoid that experience.

Here's one such implementation: https://m3o.xyz/
Um, no. The test needs to know the expected system behaviour, given that dependencies are properly wired & behave as expected. You can argue that "it no longer tests just the ShoppingCart in isolation" and that would be true; but whether that's a downside or an upside is up for debate IMO (and more often than not it really is an upside).

[edit] In other words, you don't test that "if discount is 10%, adding item to shopping cart increases cart total by 0.9×<price>"; you do test that "if user X adds item Y to shopping cart, and X has a 10% discount code, then shopping cart price increase by 0.9×<price>". This does seem like a headache, but it has benefits - in that it tests actual product scenarios, and you can now easily add variations like "if discount code only applies for books, and item I added isn't a book, then shopping cart total increases by <price>".

I remember similar feelings working at a large company. The in-fighting and politics were disturbing, it was any wonder how there was profit. So many people that seemingly contributed negatively yet were still around somehow.

Older, wiser co-workers made comments along the lines of "they're going to pay me to attend 20hrs of meetings, it could be worse."

When you care a lot about your work, it affects you more when there are uncontrollable forces preventing/stalling your work.

Talk to your manager about this and get a sense of how you are performing and that maybe you want to just focus more on the programming work and less on meetings, etc. (the toxic parts).

> we might see another Fall of Rome in our lifetimes.

The Western Roman empire took around 80 years to fall. From 395 to 476.

The Eastern Roman empire lasted for several hundred years more.

It's sometimes thought of as a quick obvious event, but it wasn't, it lasted a lifetime. We may already be in the period of time that future historians will refer to as 'the fall'. It may not be obvious from within what stage we are at, or when thee start was.

"I have always been passionate and curious about systems programming. At a first glance, this
area of knowledge might seem very complicated and even impenetrable for a lot of people.
Thankfully, with Rust, the tide has started to turn: the Rust community has demonstrated that
sometimes the perceived complexity is rooted in the lack of support, tools, and educational
content."

I have a question for the Rust community, especially those doing low level development now.
As someone who does embedded and systems programming in C for about twenty years (technically i'm not 40 yet ;-)), were the cited problems (lack of documentation, support and tools) really problems that kept from doing low level work? If not, what was it then?

I'm genuinely curious, because when I started it was more things like hardware bugs (yes they do exist) or the general theory of things (like writing a performant scheduler or file system) that seemed hard to me.

Hypocrisy is ever present. One thing in common to all ruling communist parties was establishing party members as a full-frills ruling class with their own schools, institutions, culture, etc.

For my own "philosophy," I make a distinction between ideology and idealism. "Ideology" (in my personal lexicon) is to ideology as Orwell's "nationalism" was to nationalism.

An ideal (a capitalist one) is Adam Smith's pin factory or village economy. Maybe Ayn Rand's dissenting heros like Howard Roark or Hank Rearden.

An ideological take is to justify a fb or a google by insisting these are like a Smithian pin factory. Explaining good stuff in those term. Explaining bad stuff in terms of government (looters) involvement. Facebook's profits and market cap are reflective of the immense value that they provide society.

An idealistic take is criticising fb because the aren't like a Smithian pin factory at all. In fact, they prevent such pin factories from existing.

It's notable that an idealistic posture is easier and more common from a dissenting position. A ideological posture tends to be easier and more common in a defensive, incumbent position. That's probably why Ayn Rand reads as idealistic (despite being formulaically ideological) while modern
pro-capitalists tend to come off as more ideological. Rosa Luxemburg the idealist vs Leon Trotsky, the ideologue.

IMO, you can't deal in absolutes. FB is easy to pick on because they are so unimpressive technically or operationally. FB could literally be done on 1% of its budget. Google is a mixed bag, because they do have technical achievements. But, what makes google their money is search and adware.

Tesla/Musk are an even more complex example. Musk is as close to a Randian hero as reality can offer. Obvious technical and operational achievements. Real, genuine risk taking. So far so good. The ideal does not appear to be trampled.

But... what happens if recent investors are right? What if Tesla's data is giving them an unassailable edge in self driving cars for a generation. Does that give us a capitalist ideal of innovation, competition and efficiency or a capitalist antipattern of control, monopoly and lock-in?

Reality is complex ideals are simple. Ideology is an attempt to square the circle by insisting on its squareness.
