On the whole, this is really good, we just need to make sure to adapt our civic elements properly.

This could be a massively beneficial thing if we play our cards right.

That said there is another, huge thing that's happening in real time, good for some, not so much for others: local talent (i.e. US, Can, EU) will now be competing with the 'rest of the world' in a major way for more mainstream jobs.

This means the bifurcation of the wealth of globalism could be even more exacerbated.

We saw millions of manufacturing jobs leave the US for other parts.

The 'big winners' were capital holders, senior managers, execs - their wealth increased dramatically.

The other 'winners' were anyone that could maintain a decent job in the aftermath - they saw massively lower prices in commodity goods, and an unbelievable expansion in diversity of consumer products

The 'losers' were those in the working class, who never quite recovered.

Well - 'white collar workers' (and probably this means 'you') are going to be under that kind of 'threat' as well.

The kinds of jobs that are going to the Philippines, Vietnam, India etc. is going to go way up the value chain.

It means further concentration and increase in surpluses with those who 'have power'.

It means probably even more expansion in buying power for those who can keep decent jobs.

But the numbers of those who are going to 'get left behind' may increase substantially.

This is like 'NAFTA+globalisation' on steroids.

I've just hired a firm to do some tech work in E. Europe, and a team to do generic design work in Asia and the prices are ridiculously low and the quality is good. It's not a place to do advanced work (it can be, but you have to dig for that) - and although it means 'more work can be done' and an expansion in some ways, I can only feel for the pressure on wages locally for tech-related work.

Folks, if they can remote you in Utah, they can also remote someone else in Kiev, and this is a very material thing to consider.

This is going to be hugely impactful for trade negotiations in the future because what we have now will be a 'race to the bottom' for labour laws, working conditions, etc. and large corporations will be very happy to 'not think about' how much of that cost is simply be externalized, off the balance sheet. 'McCorp' does not care that there is no financial oversight, shifty accounting principles, meagre commercial law, limited human rights in 'Country XYZ' - all they will see is the direct issues: labour input costs, and then maybe the 'quality of outcomes' but even that is sometimes secondary.
We bought a home in Vermont when it became clear neither of us were going back to the office. Now we’re planning to divide time there, six on six off.

fwiw CGNAT is fairly uncommon in the United States except for cellphones. This creates one of those bad situations where you can have something that falls flat in the face of CGNAT but also "works fine" for all of your developer/employee traffic.

Author here: Org-mode would have been another good one to cover, thanks for mentioning that. It was started right in the middle—Textile came in 2002, Org-mode in 2003, Markdown in 2004. Makes me think of Todo.txt also, which came a couple years later. There might be space here to dig into the whole family tree of plain text formatting syntax.

Appreciate everyone's feedback on the the search pane. I think it feels better in other parts of our app where you can use it as a command palette of sorts to navigate, but you're right, it makes it hard to search inside longer blog posts like this. You can press CMD+F twice in a row to get browser search, but that's definitely a bit of extra trouble. We'll have to work on this!

The manual sounds great. One of my pet peeves about modern software is how bad documentation standards have gotten. PDF or GNU info works for me, but it seems like most software rarely has a comprehensive (document everything) structured manual. It's a feature that I mostly won't invest any serious time or energy into a piece of software without.

A couple of web pages and an user support forum are no substitution for a comprehensive, structured manual, nor is decent discoverability.
But you can? Just scan and process before encrypting.

You can't. End-to-end encryption for email means the messages are encrypted by the sending client and decrypted by the receiving client. The server has no chance to scan anything because it cannot decrypt the messages.

More than 80% of the faculty at Liberal arts colleges are avowed communists. The parents of the students are sick and tired of paying for their propaganda. Like me for instance. So they are going down the tubes faster than you can flush.

State schools FTW; if you are the top 5% of your average state school, you are going to match the top 5% of your Ivy League students. Make sure you are taking advantage of all the opportunities that the state schools offer, push yourself a bit more than you think you can, and you will be prepared for whatever career path.

Plus, you’ll have the added benefit of a chip on your shoulder wanting to prove you are as good as those colleagues that paid 200k.

Chips on shoulders put chips in pockets.
My sister-in-law works as an adjunct at a local college. A few professors have retired as a result of COVID concerns (they’re back in person). Instead of hiring new faculty, drawing from any of the pool of long-standing adjunct staff, they’re instead just replacing them with more, new adjuncts.

I expect the future of American colleges and universities will follow this trend, where bloated administrations preserve their position and make the academic labor more and more precarious.
We're not lawyers, so we can't say this definitively. We still have not seen anything that would prevent it, so I guess that's the best I can give you?

For what it's worth the author joined the discussion and confirmed he is not actually placing orders, but rather using the API to check availability of a product.

Email can certainly be encrypted at rest, server or client side, maybe not as quickly or with little resources, but it can be encrypted.

Stay well clear of them, they're garbage.

I'd suggest getting your son a personal tutor, even someone he can just talk with over skype/zoom whatever. He probably just needs a mentor/friend to help him get through stuff.

He'll do great at uni, and although a degree isn't a requisite, it will make his path a lot easier and if he's in a position to get one, he absolutely should. Despite what people say, it is basically invaluable.

And kudos to you for looking out for your son, the world needs more fathers like you.

I would like to do this, but my big (and therefore slow moving) company didn't release any guidance on when we were coming back to the office, so I just renewed my lease for a full year.

End-to-end encryption and encryption at rest are two very different things.
Writing allows you to extend your memory.

Without writing, you are going to get lost in your thoughts and eventually they will all crumbled down around you when you push too far.

Writing is such a great invention - because it lets you transfer knowledge across time and between people.

However, I find less people appreciate that, without writing, a lot of the complex ideas people have worked through would not be possible. Your brain just can’t hold it all in there.

The paper becomes an extension of you and your brain.
>You can wrap it in the flag if you want but the result is the same. He sought to restrict someone else's freedom and dealt with the social consequences of that action. He didn't just express an opinion, he sought to force that opinion on others. Your argument that I'm anti democratic is disingenuous at best.

While I agree with the sentiment that all humans should be allowed to love whom and in the way they see fit and vehemently disagree with Eich's personal views, I can't agree with your assessment that he "forced" anyone to do anything.

He took part in a political process. That he was on the side that you (and I, for that matter) disagree with, doesn't invalidate his right to do so.

His side was (and rightly so, in my view) smacked down.

However, I take serious umbrage to your characterization that I'm wrapping anything in the flag, or that claiming that everyone should be allowed to exercise their political franchise (which you appear to reject) is disingenuous.

I believe that individuals voting their conscience in free and fair elections is the heart of democracy.

Unless I misunderstand your position (which is certainly possible), you appear to claim that other citizens (in this case, Eich) should not have the right to vote their conscience if you (or I, for that matter) disagree with their position.

What, exactly, is disingenuous about that?
Afaik they dont have a single working unit. Youtubers were "reviewing" empty shells with 3d printed interior.
The science departments produce even more nonsense that nobody reads or cares about. It's hard to tell in advance. Plus you want a strong research culture even if not all of it is directly productive.

I also think people tend to underestimate the positive externalities of the humanities departments. (Nobody reads academic history mostly, but the existence of historians makes bullshit claims more difficult.)

I think your proposed study groups would work at first, but eventually wouldn't be able to sustain themselves as the scholarly communities providing the background vocabulary and paradigms you need to even have a conversation collapsed.
We just bought an RV and plan on living out of it and chasing powder across Colorado. Always been a dream, I figured now’s the time to do it. Curious how crowded the slopes will be though.
The amount of admin jobs in universities is many times what it was ten years ago. In my last uni, the tek support staff was calculated to be 50% over what was required. The reason was that a large proportion came into work and did the bare minimum to scrape past a performance review. This was a calculated ploy on their behalf.

Elsewhere, somewhat pointless positions and departments abound. On a whim, a HOD bought a massively expensive 3D milling machine. For an undergrad Product Design program? Crazy. Of course, we had to hire a dedicated person to operate it. Also, tons of 'quality assurance protocols' require another layer of staff to oversee and manage.

A quick search found this: https://www.latimes.com/local/education/la-me-uc-spending-20... Check out the graph of admin vs faculty hires. Its a horror story.

No. It has to be targeted at the employees.

Framed as you have it, I would agree...but I always understood a conflict of interest to be one which might compel an attorney to violate your confidence, or fail to keep your confidences sacrosanct.

Publicly stating "we do not agree with the language of our clients" does not seem to me to rise anywhere near the level of that to require waiver.

That said, I take you as more informed on the subject than I, so again I thank you for the information.

The problem is that supply at such places is quite limited (why would there be excess build up if there was no demand?), so it takes just small increase of demand to dry up supply and drive up prices.

I know few people who are unsuccessfully try to buy "non-metro" houses: either prices are to high, or deals closed in just couple hours of property being listed.

That's a very interesting observation about what you're looking for in a car. The laggy slow acceleration of a Prius--while smooth--really bothers me, but I could imagine some seeing it as a plus. For me, in a Prius I feel unable to trust the vehicle to go where I need if anything requires a responsive reaction. The Tesla is so responsive, you feel very connected to the vehicle. If you want to suddenly be in some spot in the road you will be there that moment without thinking.

Author here: Goal here was to focus more on what led to Markdown itself, with a bit of details around how other takes (MultiMarkdown, CommonMark, GitHub Flavored Markdown) took it further, in the same way that Markdown in some ways took ideas from earlier formats further or honed them down to fit what Markdown was aimed at. There's definitely space to dig into the whole family of plain text syntax both before and after Markdown (including things like Org-mode, C2's wiki markup, Pandoc, Todo.txt, and more that were mentioned elsewhere in this discussion).
But remember that your death clock does not tick linearly: because life expectancy rises with age, each actual day that passes, less than a day of your remaining life passes.
I agree there is a ton of BS produced in science as well, but if we are making a pecking order then I would defund hard science last.

I still don’t see why there should be no creativity. Left to their own devices the university system has produced worse product at higher prices for decades. The time has come for innovation.

I'll be on the academic market next year. In my field (business), the market has been better than expected, but we are quite priviliged.

Time zones matter... I work with people around the world, and it is way easier to work with someone 2 or 3 hours off than with someone 10 hours apart.
It is likely a local effect, as taxi hailing apps have succeeded in countries where ridesharing has failed, such as South Korea. I don't know the exact mechanisms behind the different circumstances, but as I said before, I believe the benefit is from the app-based aspect and not the ridesharing aspect.
As someone else pointed out, the discoverability of CMD-F twice in a row is nil, and frankly it annoyed me so much I wouldn't notice any instructions that were in the pane unless they were right at the top in big, apologetic letters.

Well... Taxi drivers are just small private businesses that are loosely associated, in practice.

The title is throwing off how we’re reading the article. It’s really about why they, an email provider, can’t meaningfully encrypt email at rest. FTA:

>If you are interested in real encryption, please use end-to-end encryption tools such as GPG or fetch locally all your messages periodically and encrypt them yourself.

I would say their standard for being ‘encrypted at rest’ is including a requirement that they are unable to open it.

This is textbook ‘perfect being the enemy of the good’. There are a lot of threats outside of malicious insiders that could be deterred or slowed down by a practical encrypted storage mechanism.

When I took a course in linear algebra, we learned about linear transformations and vector spaces in the abstract first. Then when we got to matrices it was viewed as a way to represent linear transformations. Also it led to a natural derivation for matrix multiplication.
For reference, this is ~7.5 cents per prescription given out in the US from 2006 to 2018.

I've no idea how to break that down into a per pill basis, but it's likely to be much less than a cent per pill.

I very much doubt that the Sacklers profited less than a cent per pill though.

Early transistors sucked. Which makes it really difficult to separate engineering decisions based on current available technology with predictions of future advancement. At the time people where well aware of all the issues with vacuum tubes, and potentially based on Quantium mechanics transistors should be able sidestep most of them. Which is why so much money was spent on improving transistors despite the mature competition and transistor adoption was so rapid.

Similarly, many different flying machines pre dated the Wright brothers including balloons, heavier than air gliders, and freaking kites. The problem was the crap engines of the time, which is why so many heavier than air aircraft so many inventors appeared at the same time. And why we don’t use anything like the Wright brothers aircraft.

PS: The actual first heavier than air aircraft is probably a Bamboo-copter from ~400BC. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bamboo-copter. Though man lifting kites where likely the first useful heavier than air aircraft. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man-lifting_kite

The entire US university system is a joke. $40K/year for similar academics you get almost for free in Europe. Hundreds of universities who rely on foreigners who come to the US for studies for their survival. And most of these foreigners are only coming because they want to immigrate and student visa is an easy entry ticket.
