This is the reality under the current regulatory frameworks. Which is I'm advocating for a firm hand just as in the aerospace/motor industry.

Ofcourse there will be concessions as there will be non-obvious oversight and/or employees hiding bad information if it might damage their career. Regulators and civil organizations will have to figure out the meta information before proceeding to trial.
Like I've explained above, the reason I'd be willing to choose my dog over a stranger is because I know what my dog is like. I know he's never going to kill anyone. I know nothing about the stranger.

But yes, I would regret it if he went and killed someone after I chose his life over a human's.

I would also deeply regret it if I chose a stranger over my dog and then that person turned out to be a Bad Guy.

> I researched this and found that Bitcoin had no initial capacity limit

That is simply untrue. From the very first version it had two capacity limits, an explicit one (https://github.com/trottier/original-bitcoin/blob/master/src...), and a smaller implicit and unintentional one (of about 500k) owing to the maximum locks that could be grabbed in a single BDB transaction.

Satoshi later reduced the explicit limit further and provided no explanation for doing so ( https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/commit/a30b56ebe76ffff9f9... ). However, there was no issue with spam at the time or previously, nor mention of spam, and the network already had a separate and highly functional spam limiting mechanism. Had he intended to make the limit simply temporary he could have trivially programmed it that way-- e.g. as we did when we discovered the ~500kb limit, we wrote a rule that limited blocks to 500kb and then expired a few months later.

The claim that it was a "temporary anti-spam limit" is a novel construction that I don't believe I saw ever claimed until many years after that change.

At least by the time Satoshi went inactive he was well aware of the trade-offs: "Bitcoin users might get increasingly tyrannical about limiting the size of the chain so it's easy for lots of users and small devices." ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1790.msg28917#msg289... )

> I've seen good individual health insurance in the $500-1200 range

Where should I start:

1) That's per month per individual. So $6,000 - $14,400 per year, plus any family members. That's a huge chunk of a "$30-60k hypothesized interest income."

2) That's if the ACA pre-existing condition exemption is in place. If not, you have a pre-existing condition, and #1 doesn't apply. You'll be lucky to be offered any insurance.

3) I suggest you look at the price of insulin in the US - any recent formulation is sky-high, as in if you're not the 1% then it's not sustainable if you're required to pay for it yourself. Since the era of Martin Shkreli, nothing is affordable.

My theory is that ET signals were most likely to detect are meant for their probes. Something like voyager.

Nearby civilizations will send interstaller probes to the closest stars first. Because that's what everybody would do.

And their scientists are more likely to get money to communicate with probes than speculative aliens.

And as an interstaller probe gets closer to the target system, the amounts of power needed to communicate with it is enormous.

Altogether this means first contact is likely to be a radio or laser signal meant for an interstellar probe that's headed towards us.

All theory crafting though lol. But it would jive 100% with funding realities on our planet. I think for this reason alone we should listen to our ~20 closest neighbors extra well.

The sad downside is that if they're the closest star to us, we're also likely the closest star to them. That means very few civilizations would send a probe to us first :'(
How much could a banana possibly cost? $10?

Let’s just throw out one company as an example: let’s say you graduate from undergrad today and join Google as a fairly unremarkable new hire. Your average first year total compensation is $187k/year. If you negotiate well that can easily exceed $200k. If you do well in your career, three years later you’ll be an L4 earning an average of $263k/year. There are a number of companies that pay this well. All of FAANG is >$150k/year fresh out of undergrad.

What I am saying is: if you decide early enough that you don’t want to be a wage slave your entire life, and you are talented and a bit lucky, you can wage slave for ten years and call it good, then spend 30-death doing whatever you want. The biggest danger, and one I’m wrestling with now, is that you get addicted to it.

Thanks for providing the interesting article - sounds like you’ve lived a fun and variety-filled life so far. That’s fantastic and I’m a little jealous of you, but you compromised real economic utility by doing so. I think it’s a popular model, lots of people spend their 20s having adventures and making little money. Nothing wrong with that - but if instead you spend your twenties soullessly grinding away, thanks to the time-value of money you can have the rest of your life to have adventures.

There are plenty of entry level jobs for people with bachelors degrees that pay $150k-$200k. You might have to make a lot of sacrifices to get them.

For me, I didn’t graduate making this kind of money but ended up in the can-FIRE bucket anyway due to saving and market performance. But it wasn’t like it wasn’t possible, I was unaware that such jobs existed.
Endometriosis and adenomyosis.

Endometriosis is a condition that affects 10-15% of adult women, that can be extremely painful, that we barely understand, and that we can't effectively treat most of the time. It also confounds a lot of the conventional understanding of the source of pain, which means we might get some interesting insights from studying it further.

> However, using anonymous tools like this is extremely unprofessional.

I agree that this is not the correct tool (I think an anonymous Glassdoor-like approach would be the best); but completely disagree that "using anonymous tools is extremely unprofessional".

At least in the US [1], there is a severe asymmetry regarding candidates and job opportunities. Large corporations control access to decent healthcare, for one thing. Also, you can be fired at any time, for any reason in the majority of positions. There is little to no social safety net to protect a person when they get fired.

Given this kind of an asymmetrical environment, anonymity helps restore the balance. The candidate doesn't have to risk their entire livelihood every time they make a statement about how they were badly treated by a company.

And on a deeper level, what is "professional" anyway? 20 years ago we were told that you should wear only suits and ties to the office because "that is professional". Today you would be laughed out of several tech companies for saying that. Similarly, being kinder to people and stricter to corporations is a direction that professionals in the US software industry seem to be taking, and I think we are better for it. Maybe in 20 more years it will be seen as basic "professional" courtesy to your fellow software developers to leave a rating on a hypothetical RateRecuiters when you finish any interview process!

--------------------------------------------

[1] I think your statement about not seeking anonymity would apply far more in European countries or other places where there are strong laws protecting labor, and a robust safety nets.

Thanks again for the pointer. Pluto really seems to nail the major pain points from notebooks: for a quick summary of Julia's Pluto from https://lwn.net/Articles/835930/ :

1. Pluto's on-disk format is genuine executable Julia, with metadata in comments. Code review happens on the actually executed code, so highly regulated/otherwise conservative environments don't have to worry about the single source of truth deviating from what code reviewers see.

2. Pluto disallows multiple declarations of global variables. This prevents problems with getting different results, depending in which snippets within the notebook get executed in which order.

3. Pluto makes sure the notebook's displayed output is always in-sync with its source code; it eliminates the problem of someone getting some result, changing some code, and sharing a notebook with results that don't match the code. It does this by performing dependency analysis across the code fragments and topologically sorting them. It then re-evaluates all dependent code snippets when a given snippet is modified.

Wow. This is the way.
You make a lot of assumptions, maybe without even noticing you've made them. Silicon + CMOS happens to be one really high-performing combination. But it's not the only possible platform for computation. The past has seen us through vacuum tubes, magnetic core memory (and its cousin, magnetic logic), TTL (or resistor/transistor logic if you want to reduce the process steps), and through to modern MOSFET-based technologies. Along with each transition are numerous other computational platforms which didn't catch on -- usually because they didn't optimize for the things which the market demanded (e.g. perf, power, yield, and cost at volume).

Among all the possible platforms for logic, it's hard for me to imagine that there's not at least one which has properties usable for at least some set of applications by enthusiasts.

Two of the central themes drawing people to suburbs are space and privacy. I agree that more mixed use spaces in suburbs would be nice, but fundamentally I don't think you are going to do away with cars in most suburban environments because I don't you can achieve the business density necessary to do so without sacrificing lot size and privacy.
Oh god, what he calls constraints are the "spiking

The minor point here is that what he's suing for has no connection to his misbehavior. If lying to the court in a copyright lawsuit doesn't bar him from suing for libel, there's no reason for it to bar him from suing for copyright infringement.

The major point is that malfeasance in a lawsuit can't get you barred from the courts, for the obvious reason that people can still commit crimes against you even if you once misrepresented yourself in court.

This is a heavy mischaracterization of Progressives. When it's 100% unit that are below market rate, it gets blocked. When it's 50% BMR, it gets blocked. When it's 20%, it gets blocked.

This is because the true position of Progressives is that any development has a chance to cause harm, and they prefer the current situation to any harm, in a messed up form of the trolley problem.

I would also urge you to capitalize the P, as the Progressive positions in SF are not really recognizable as progressive in most of the US or world. It's more of a factional battle in the culture war than about what are more generally agreed to be progressive values.
So those jobs gets un-filled and whoever that hires/pays for those jobs will need to raise the price for said jobs. This will re-attract people back because it is now possible to live off the higher pay for such jobs. Ad-infinitum as the market determines the price.

End of life care is an incredibly expensive endeavor; why are we so adamant about extending the inevitable?

IMO it's a subconscious projection of the fact that we do _not_ live meaningful lives in our day to day, and so we fixate on a fantastical (yet inspiring, universal) compensation of extending it forever.

"Left to take care of the elderly" suggests we don't value life in the first place. Why extend it further?
There are various regulatory trade-offs between safety and cost of compliance. For instance: Cars sold as new in Canada require daytime running lights and yellow rear turn signals, due to extended periods of low visibility. While the running lights are a requirement in Sweden, they aren't in Poland or many other European countries. There's been some effort on standardizing between US and Canada since 2016, which would allow for a North American market car to solely use yellow turn signals, but progress is slow.

Which is why we probably won't see much progress in harmonizing bigger regulations. Whose regulation gets to win? This has been a five-year fight over the color of a piece of plastic. Everyone even wants to agree - the automotive industry would love a worldwide standard to reduce specialized part count, rulemakers would love to agree in order to increase the shared market size (so everyone gets the same cars), but the actual standard to be put into place calls into conflict the exact safety versus cost thresholds each government has set. Imagine if there's actual conflict.
By the fact that modern political and social theorists continue to refine and develop the theories behind this form of government. By the fact that the reason it frequently doesn't work is that capitalism can't allow it. A country where workers aren't exploited is essentially an untapped resource according to capitalism. Thus, the grey goo-like tendency of capitalism to take in all that is not it leads to an imperialist takeover of our little sanctuary of worker bliss.

Marx may very well have been right that we need a worldwide revolution in order to create this form of government in which workers receive the full value of their labor, and work is done according to what is socially necessary. Purge capitalism, and it all works nicely.

For data corruption and mis-manipulation, I would be more concerned about the long term decay of any media than some bit flipping in RAM (even for tapes as their endurance relies on certain storage conditions, but it is likely to be a hard drive, writable DVD/Bluray or something flash based, these do not particularly age well).

For book keeping, I think my point is that storage media are becoming so big that you always consolidate into a single device every time you carry the data over (you may still want to duplicate for reliability). Like you can buy a 18TB hard drive today. A consumer isn't going to require more than one or perhaps two of those for anything to be preserved long term. And in 5y-10y, you will likely have 25-30TB hard drives.

The equipment problem is precisely what this addresses. You are always using the latest hardware, and the previous hardware you are using is still supported if you stick to a 5-10y cycle. For instance you would have moved away from IDE drives while you could still find motherboards with both IDE and SATA ports. But if your data is stored on an IDE drive, good luck connecting it on a computer in 2030 (if we haven't moved full Apple's "you can't customize your hardware and we deprecate everything very frequently").

Skills (and I would say mostly dedication) is still a problem. But we are talking about copy-pasting files between two media, it's not rocket science even if you don't script it.

I would more picture a system where you install standardized wall panels on the load bearing structure with a DIN rail like system. You buy panels that are some standard width (say 16 inches) and come in standardized heights (e.g. 2ft, 4ft, 8ft) with whatever connections running through them. If you want to re-configure your house, you just buy replacement panels.

Now I see significant technical drawbacks to such a system, but it is an interesting idea to think about and would be way more space efficient than the one you are talking about.
