Only if you incorrectly believe that pay is based on value. It's actually based on how hard it is for them to get someone else to do your job and how hard it is for you to get another job.

It is easier for them to replace a remote employee than a local employee, so that works against you.

It is harder for you to find an alternate job if you live in a low COL area than if you live in a high COL area, so that also works against you.

Obviously, this wouldn't be the case if every company went fully remote, but that isn't going to happen, so you should still expect a lot of remote jobs to adjust pay based on locality. If they don't, they are just leaving money on the table.

It's often said that in 1996, NeXT acquired Apple and paid negative 400 million dollars.

Jobs was able to bring his team and technology from NeXT to become the new core at Apple, and fire everyone who didn't want to play along. Elop had no such luxury.
This, so much. Maybe Elop brought more to the table than meets the eye, but the Windows choice stinks so heavily given his history, Microsoft's history with OEMs, and the specifics of the deal that it almost doesn't really matter if there was some kind of logic that didn't make it out into the popular world. Nokia may have been in a bad position but like you, I anticipated the trajectory things took. If they were going to take the risk of trying to make any platform a third major player, it should have been one they owned the upside of. Failing that, buying into the Android ecosystem (maybe with a bid to extend it, bring in rockstar S60 emulation and/or better native Linux support) and competing on their hardware capabilities and reputation is the only thing that made sense.

It seems clearer that the phenomenon was linked with racism as a method of discrediting those few who do suffer MSG sensitivity. MSG is an inexpensive, very effective flavour enhancer and much of the American food industry depends upon it to be profitable.

There are many major cities in the US where the salary you describe wouldn’t be out of the norm. Particularly in rust belt cities like Detroit or the Midwest.

You’re describing a $73.2k salary for a mid tier rails developer in Berlin.

It’s hard to think of a comparable city to Berlin in the US. I think highly of Berlin, it has a great startup scene and a reasonable cost of living compared to other German cities I know of. But it is also somewhat of a recovering “rust belt city” that keeps costs low to fuel this growth.

> The question for society as a whole, as with any profession whose genuine contributions have not so nice side effects (which is just about any profession), is whether the genuine contributions are worth the not so nice side effects. One way society as a whole expresses its judgments about such questions is social approval or disapproval of particular professions based on people's estimate of the tradeoffs.

People's estimate of the value of a particular profession is dependent on their understanding of the profession and how it provides services to other people/professions. However familiarity/understanding is not a prerequisite to expression of social sanction.

> It is also true, however, that in the course of doing this, hedge funds siphon lots of money from other people's pockets into theirs in zero-sum trades.

There's an agent-principal problem here where a trader managing other people's money necessarily understands more about the field than the person whose money they are responsible for.

> Not to mention that many very smart people who could be making much greater genuine net contributions in other fields are attracted to hedge funds because of the money-making potential.

This is probably a sign that entry into this field is artificially limited. When the market rewards people for activity, it is supposed to indicate that activity is in demand. It may be the case that there are structural limitations that prevent the entry of new firms who would then drive profits to the marginal level.
Statement regarding transparency of data related to Covid-19
I've got few of the model 4, though most of my Pis are earlier models. Earlier models I rarely had a fan involved, but the first two model 4s I used, I put on a big metal heatsink that included two fans. For my purposes the fans seem to be fine to be disabled, and the device doesn't throttle back due to thermal overload.

However - the heatsink takes up a lot of space, and probably can not be used with this kind of hat, so I'd have to look at a less passive cooling option I think.

Also, where I'd be deploying something like this would be in a part of Australia where through summer ambient air temperature can get around 50C, and if it's in a shed or covered area, perhaps higher. I haven't had a Pi4 running here through a summer yet, so have no idea how that's going to play out. In about two months from now I'll have a better idea.
Economy in the purest sense is, but financial profit is not. People seem to confuse economy with financial functions. Companies seem to do most things for financial reasons, particularly profit to owners, not economic reasons. I think this distinction is important as "economics" hides the egregious use of business for financial gain at the cost of much else in society.

MSG sensitivity has never been shown to be true in a replicable clinical environment in humans. The few studies that have shown this to cause symptoms use extremely large doses of MSG that aren't used in food (for one thing, the dosages involved would be unpalatable even for those without the symptoms; overseasoning is generally unpleasant)
Outside of Thai, I think most restaurants charge more for brown rice.

And multiple other studies _have_ shown a difference in effects on people eating food with or without MSG. The fine anti-MSG article even mentions that.

Disney has a history of appropriating other peoples' works and then locking it away within their own copyright prison.

I probably wouldn't mind it so much if their resulting version was true to the originals. However the bastardised versions that the Disney marketing convinces the world is the 'real' version are so bad, that in many cases they are nothing like the originals.

One example: Disney's version of 'Alice in Wonderland' is some weird melange of Lewis Carroll's 'Alice in Wonderland' and his 'Alice Through the Looking Glass'. Go ahead and read the two Lewis Carroll books, then watch the Disney 'Alice in Wonderland' video.

For your own education, if nothing else, compare many of the Disney stories to the original versions of those stories.
That is the correct starting point. However, you must still pair it with a good security process that properly manages and integrates your components otherwise you can still create easily exploitable critical weaknesses. As a trivial example, I remember a proposal by some large networking company to build out a separate parallel network that is exclusively for critical infrastructure devices, thus introducing an air-gap between normal computers and critical infrastructure devices. However, this neglects the fact that there would likely be millions to billions of such devices on the network distributed and likely easily physically accessible which would thus make it easy to still gain access to the "air-gapped" network for nefarious purposes. Maybe not quite as easy a if they were on the same network, but from an objective point of view it would not be a meaningful impediment which would stop any real adversary from defeating it.

What should actually be done is start from an adequate, but possibly impractical or ineffective solution and a process that properly manages the creation of that system then figure out how to make it practical without making it inadequate. If it is impossible to come up with an adequate, but impractical solution to start with, then it is highly unlikely that an adequate practical solution will show itself. This is far easier than starting with a practical, but inadequate solution and making it adequate without making it impractical since, as most engineers know, it is almost always easier to simplify a working design than to bolt things onto a non-working design until it works. If you can not simplify a working design, then it is highly unlikely that you will be able to create a better solution from scratch which is borne out by the continuous failure of pretty much everybody who has ever tried doing so in the cybersecurity industry.

In this particular example, if security is actually important, you should likely start the consideration with an air-gapped system and an adequate security process which assumes that primitive and then see if you can loosen that restriction. But, as I must stress, the key element is actually in having a process that can properly utilize, manage, and reason about the components in a way that can create secure systems. Secure primitives without a good security process can easily create an insecure system. However, a good security process with insecure primitives at least stands a chance (which even ignores the fact that a good security process should filter out insecure primitives that can not be usefully integrated). As for how you can determine if a security process is any good, you can do this by seeing if the process has consistently created systems that reach an adequate objective level of quality given different circumstances. In this case, air-gap based processes have seen material success in actually achieving an adequate level of security in certain circumstances, so it is probably good to start from there though there are actually other potential solutions.
That racism is "natural" and that "everyone's racist" are common (false) claims among racists, who try to use them as excuses for their own racism.
As Korean, yes there’s plenty of racism of Asians vs Asians. My aunts in Korea were terrified of Chinese people when they were kids because there were always rumors of them kidnapping kids etc.

There’s a lot of anger across Asia for Mainland Chinese these days. Practically all countries look down on Mainland Chinese, even those in Hong Kong does too. They think Mainland Chinese are dirty and loud and obnoxious because as tourists they are very obnoxious.

Koreans have general hate towards Japanese because of the war, but prefer Japanese to Chinese and all other Asians are looked down on, like Vietnamese, Philippines, etc.
Yep, from the article:

"... a disturbing undercurrent of racism that seemed to blame the unsavoriness of Chinese food"

You can't be racist towards food. Chinese people aren't the only people capable of cooking food originally consumed and prepared in China. If you don't like Chinese food and find it unsavoury, no normal person would think you're a racist. This whole "red under the bed" approach to racism is getting out of hand.

Sure, that would be very plausible. Stocking up a cave with food, keeping a small fire going inside with whatever flammable material is available, eating little and sleeping a lot to make the food last longer...

Actually we do have a lower bound for the MSG dose that will negatively affect 50% of the population. But that dose is about six times higher than the normally-served dose. The fine article mentions that.

Who's devaluing what?

I'm suggesting that it can be valued for pleasure, and it can be valued for procreation. Because both are true (at least in the PIV scenario).

The anti-sex folks are following old, overly simplistic, and ineffective campaigns to "protect people from themselves (via their genitals)". Most of it is well intended but oh so wrong.

Edit: the only problem is the boundaries of power -- wanting to apply religious beliefs to the whole population rather than their particular sect. And I'd wager a fair amount of the conflict over this power is manufactured in order to keep the base riled up.

I suspect that there is some truth the the "Chinese-restaurant syndrome" beyond the racism of the times. Chinese food contains much soy sauce and other fermented ingredients. These foods contain yeasts which are naturally inflammatory via multiple innate immune system pathways. MSG is even produced via fermentation but is probably more devoid of yeast and bacterial cell wall polysaccharides than other ingredients. Inflammation is most probably the cause of these mysterious headaches that are reported.
