This was an incredibly insightful comment, thank you.

I've been following SpaceX relatively closely; as a South African I've cheered on Elon since his PayPal exit - and so for example I had friends over for dinner on the night of the twin Falcon landing (and more recently the crewed Dragon mission).

Please forgive my fanboyism, but now that I've read your points that you've just made, it has shed a whole new (fascinating) light on something I was already passionate about.

Incredible times we're living in.

Ad astra.
While I personally believe this is an incredibly self-centered perspective, I also don't deny you're more than welcome to be selfish and act upon that sense of self. The "I".

Curious however: how one intends to take one's life back when most other people are staying home and, at least where I live, nothing is open....
I mean, it's

Party A says something on the Internet that offends party B.

Party B asks party A to self-censor/tells them to shut up, which offends party A.

Party A complains that they’re being asked to self-censor.

When party B is asking A to self-censor, there's nothing wrong with A complaining about what B is saying. If A's lying or being dishonest, oh well.
Just go meet your parents. Don't live under that tension. I know 50 people who had Covid (yes someone out there will say their situation was bad - but the vast majority of those with Covid it was not bad) - but most said it was like the flu and they were tired for 2 weeks.

My advice would be quit testing yourself and get out there. I have been eating at restaurants all year with friends. we go 2x a week. None of us have been sick. That's a lot of exposure - if one thought that restaurants were a risk.

Go see your friends and live your life. Sure - wear a mask and wash your hands and be respectful of those who are fearful or at risk (like elderly) but go out. You will be fine.

It sounds like you are measuring the risk of not going out of your apartment. That's hard to quantify but certainly should not be minimized.
There are disagreements here about whether the details are correct, but if you stick to the concept of languages, I think this is brilliant. I work in an environment with extreme wage disparity between the stratified layers described here, with me in the clueless zone, and the languages described here are mandatory in order to deflect analysis and discussion of the power structures and the trivial and grotesque ways they are routinely abused.
CPI measures a basket of goods and these will differ from country to country. But, let's assume the US government does a good job on estimating the increase in the consumer prices for an average citizen. Still it does not address the problem I mentioned about printing money, which is dissolving the value of money. If that was not true, as I mentioned earlier, we could just print the money and have eternal vacations.

The question is why we do not see the negative effects in the reported CPI. One explanation is a deflationary force that mitigates the inflationary moves. The long term stable deflationary force is an increase in productivity by technological advancements. But I do not think it can keep up with the printing press.
Yes, it's possible, as long as you are willing to give up democracy. I'm not sure you want to make that trade-off.

Edit: This seems to be negative karma bait, so let me express in clear terms - in a democratic system, all else being equal, a challenger who does play the blame game will prevail over an incumbent, who let a disaster take place on their watch.
Yes, and RevoGrid is a data grid with spreadsheet like UI/styling. Which has a very different use case than a full blown spreadsheet like LibreOffice Calc or Google Docs.
The vast majority of those people contract out the (complicated) maintenance in keeping it secure and performant, or they get hacked and their site goes down, or they get ~no traffic so performance doesn't matter and neither does their choice of blog software.

Entire large businesses (WPEngine, for example) have been built upon the overhead costs from blog operators having to compensate for it being a bad app.

My close friend is one of the sysadmins for the WP instance mentioned in TFA. Pull back the curtain and it's pretty ugly and resource-intensive to run WP at scale; I've done it myself.
This kind of social class theory is unfortunately not one that yields a lot of leverage, while simultaneously promising to cause a lot of hurt. (It also reads as if it betrays some hurt feelings on the part of its creator, IMO). I think this is why it's traditionally, historically, so incendiary to talk about class theory.

Also, here we are at the point in history when even reclusive billionaires are starting to change and improve the way they contribute to the world. Some are even giving away all their money before they die, which was once seen as a feat the bible itself couldn't envision.

Michael Scott is also given occasional but shy credit on the show for being someone whose values freely interconnect with those of his workers, which to me was an understated win of the series.

The fact is, Michael can't be the best of everybody, even though he tries. But he can sure reflect their good back onto them, even when he's completely exploding an otherwise harmless situation! It's an underrated gift. We need more of that good-reflecting in the world, and less criticism of the kind that reflects a hopeless situation.
This is a pretty broad question. A big question is what does your SaaS do, and how much functionality does your SaaS need to have? And are you a developer who can build something end to end? I built a basic recruiting app for maybe $20K in 2010, but I was focused on a very specific feature set to keep the cost down.
"Real" tests are also subject to false positives and false negatives.

What you are suggesting is to ignore the possibility that dog sniffing may result in false negatives, and administer a "real" test to anyone who's identified by a dog to be positive. Keep in mind that under reasonable assumptions, half of those people are false positives. A portion of them will falsely test positive again. However, some of the true dog test positives (anywhere between 2% - 25% of them) will falsely test negative. Therefore, this strategy will result in more infected people not being quarantined.
I see co-living as a natural progression/commercialization of boarding houses. Maybe I'm completely wrong on that. But I see the Wikipedia article on co-living gives boarding houses as the origin of the concept.

>>and typically targets visiting professional workers or wealthy students.

I believe the official reason for the ban was that co-living developments were crowding out all other types of housing, forcing people outside of those two categories to rent them.
I have been thinking about this a lot recently, and I think Canon and Nikon, both of whom produce Deep UV machinery (ie, equipment that uses a laser wavelength about an order of magnitude wider than EUV's 13.5nm), have an opportunity due to demand for legacy foundry processes. They are a tiny part of the photolithography equipment sub-sector, but the present moment is marked by overwhelming demand for semiconductors for automotive applications, and those chips aren't running on leading-edge nodes like TSMC 5nm or Intel 10nm (there's no reason for them to). If I were the CEO of a global automaker, I'd be buying legacy (22nm and older) foundry equipment in order to make chips in-house because the eventual product mix transition (ICE vs EV) means I'm going to need more custom semiconductors than ever before.

The semiconductor industry is so complex that it depends upon companies in many nations, including Japan. No one nation owns the semiconductor lifecycle, but each part of the process is dominated (but not entirely owned) by one nation. Japan dominates wafer production. One company in the Netherlands dominates photolithography equipment. The United States dominates processor design. China dominates device assembly. Korea dominates NAND. Taiwan dominates foundry. Companies in all of these places are laying out a bunch of CapEx so clearly there's an anticipation of a rising tide that lifts all boats, rather than a rejiggering of market share that hurts one economy (forgetting China for a second) while helping another.
This reminds me of my periodic wish to have a USB device that presents itself to the host OS as a hard drive, but is really an iSCSI initiator. Voila: now you can give your Playstation or Xbox arbitrary amounts of fast network storage on the home NAS.
No, you missed the point entirely. The point is that you pictured this "blue collar local" as a man, as evidenced by your use of the pronoun "he". Don't tell me that it's about the word "man" and its historical role to mean "human".

>I've certainly noticed that those so interested in gender language police invariably seem incapable of abstractly thinking of a person without attaching a gender thereto.

The irony. Next time say "they" instead of "he".
That's the approach urbit has taken
Let's face it, a tech company's most important resource is one of two things:

* its IP

* the data it's collected on its users

The first precludes open source within the company's core competencies. The second makes the company a place where talented, morally decent engineers wouldn't want to work.
"Safer social media experience" refers to user safety, i.e. moderation and safety tools like content warnings, phrase filters, mutes, blocks, and the various quality of life improvements to those features.
Please answer this question: what happens if, today, you decide to not have gone to the store yesterday? What stops you from deciding this?

The way this particular idea of time travel works is like this:

1. A time traveler throws a grenade, killing Joan of Arc.

2. History happens.

3. The time traveler who killed Joan of Arc is born.

4. The time traveler goes back in time and kills Joan of Arc.

5. We hear of this event.

If we are looking at this when at time 5, do we find it surprising that it happened? Do we need any explanation? We can ask "what would have happened if the time traveler had instead killed Chairman Mao?", and we can get into a discussion on the possible future life of Joan of Arc etc. But since the event has already happened, we don't need a fundamental explanation for "why didn't it go differently", "what stopped the time traveler from doing differently" etc.

If you then accept that the future is just like the past - it is already decided - then the same banality happens if we learn of this event at time 3. We can ask "I wonder what would happen if this child wouldn't one day kill Joan of Arc", but it is simple musing about alternative histories, like asking "I wonder what would have happened if Hitler hadn't killed himself". The fact is that Hitler did kill himself, and that the child will kill Joan of Arc.

If you imagine the future as changeable, or if you imagine that beings can choose what they will do, then the paradox arises. But if you consider the future as set in stone, and if you consider that humans can't chose to do one way or another, than there is no paradox: history COULD have been different, but it just isn't. The same thing that stops you from changing the past also stops you from changing the future.

Note: I am not claiming that this view is "correct". Just that, if you accept it, than time travel really doesn't give rise to any paradox.
I sent you a message
Locomotive was a great dialect. Fully featured and consistent with few of the arcane incantations that other 8-bit BASICs had.
High skilled labor. A lot of Software Engineers think they are highly educated intellectuals but are in reality skilled tradespeople on the tools.
This is basically the Uplan method, no? The Israelis pioneered this long ago, or so I have been told, by relatives who were taught Hebrew in the 70s when studying there. Hebrew as spoken today (aka Modern Hebrew) was a new language that won by vote (to IIRC Russian, Yiddish, German and others) when the country had to decide on a national language, and they needed a way to teach people uniformly.

https://www.ulpanor.com/

That being said, as they learned via Ulpan as adults in their 20's and spent only 1-2 years there, none of them speak beyond a few words of Hebrew once I was in their lives decades later up until now. Twas quickly forgotten. I went through conventional language education in Arabic from early teens (it was my desired hobby because of my obviously vibrant social life, hehe) to college and speak it so-so until this day, but I have many friends and family of my own who speak Arabic.

So more than anything: increased exposure is key and few people will correct humor you with your method if it takes longer as an adult, and it definitely will! haha

for those outside the US, based on my quick google: PTO means "paid time off" and FMLA I think means "family and medical leave" (the abbreviation is for the family and medical leave ACT). FMLA provides provisions to take UNPAID leave. PTO seems to cover both holidays and paid sick leave.

Please correct me if I'm wrong any US person.

I'm guessing from the context of getting VP approval for 15 days compared to my wife who took off a year in approximate half-pay through various combinations of annual leave, maternity leave, and long service leave and gov payments that the talk of not bumping into shadow limits has to do with cultural expectations of how much leave you'll take and that you'll be soon back to work rather than actually they're being no shadow limits. By which I mean my wife's actual case would so obviously hit up against any shadow limit that practically no one would try it on, but I'm happy to be educated on that too...

For context, I managed to take 3 months off on about half pay through similar leave gymnastics...
Any other path could have been much worse. The only real conclusion is that the author wouldn't want to be the one accountable next time. Like theatre, enterprise projects are drama or comedy. No one died, project completed: comedy.
In a system where anyone can talk to anyone, for free, natural human tendencies are going to result in the vast majority of traffic being ads for sex, drugs, or salty carbohydrates.

Social networking needs moderation and filtering, because there are always going to be people who don't respect the time of others. Email just happened to be the first online social network, followed by usenet (which had killfiles).

There's going to be filtering. The only question is do you want it to be a small number of large, unaccountable corporations (and the governments that can put guns in the faces of their sysadmins), or "everyone who cares to, and you can pick"?
Yeah no. Look up Gen IV.

And the BN-800 reactor that’s online and in commercial service.

It sounds to me like you should see a mental health services provider.

And I'm not saying that as a backhanded insult.
The Gervais Principle (which this article is a riff off of) covers what you’re looking for (and what the author here left implicit): https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2009/10/07/the-gervais-principle-...

I'm sure they've never made lazy statements about information security, like recommending stackexchange over a federated platform.
E-mail doesn't have to have real names, isn't regulated by the government, and the same ID can be used across the world.
It doesn't mean "Just NYT opinion writers". It means all the people who think they're leading culture around on a leash by pushing their articles in The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Mother Jones etc. and so forth.

And that very much is a social class, or more accurately, its a specific subset of a social class. Another subset of the same social class are book editors at the major publishing houses. Look around on LinkedIn. You'll find that easily 3 in 4 of them are female, went to a small-to-medium-sized liberal arts college, etc. They literally gatekeep both fiction and non-fiction, and its why self-publishing and alternative publishing outlets are on the rise.

There are likely other subsets of this same social class that I'm unfamiliar with, but I don't generally give it much thought, because I don't care and I don't have to care.

EDIT: Sorry, I meant 3 out of 4 of them are female, not 1-in-4.
How to get more attention for your OSS Project
Piracy is copying without permission, since Flash is in fact not free software (it costs nothing but it's not 'free' in what you can do with it) you can in fact pirate it by sharing it yourself as opposed to being someone who has gotten permission from Macromedia/Adobe. This is of course absurd, but it's what copyright law entails.
Where do you live that you've been able to eating at restaurants all year?
The whole nuclear cycle from extraction to building the plant to dismantling it is, according to IPCC, 12gCO2eq/kWh. Solar is 55.
It's not well-defined. To many people, it has a pretty high bar. For them, it means you can walk to most of the shops you need, restaurants, public transit options, etc. in a comfortable way. And, yes, it often assumes there's a multitude of jobs that can be accessed without a car because the need to own a car--tends to make it more difficult to live in a walkable neighborhood.
I agree with you as a ux guy but I also have to admit this blog was more readable than most, at least on mobile.
All they need is to rebrand it as an enterprise SaaS and boom, unicorn.

If you were an EU citizen you could sue FB for violating the GDPR article 22:

Yep, that's pretty much it. But don't underestimate the difficulty of solving this problem. The entire structure of human society currently rests on this assumption. Discharging it is not easy.
There was zero assistance in the past to help people move to areas with perceived better opportunity. Why should there be now?
Was going to ask this, where I am it's illegal to go outside unless for groceries or doctor.
Many make that assertion, none back it up.
Ha, you sparked some thought in me, going a bit off-topic here though :)

I'd love to see some non-profit R+D department for social media. And I wonder what's the closest thing to that existing right now.

On the science side there are dry studies, either relatively tiny or looking at what is there.

On the practical side there are technical people fighting for privacy, decentralization and against censorship, but with little feel or innovation beyond that.

No one does proper product research.

I wrote a concept for a curation tool in my studies, but it didn't really fit the program and I wonder where it could fit after all. Now I'm just earning money as a product manager and can't afford not to.

My friends and I would just ride our bikes. It was great, actually.
This was an interesting take but I'm a little disappointed that the author didn't take the language idea further. As in, in this author's conception of class based language, what's an example of "straight talk"? How do the elites "babytalk" to the Michael Scott-gentry middle class? Most interestingly, what would "powertalk" be in this conception of class? Would it be raw datasets and financial spreadsheets? Because that seems at odds with the "barbarians" he posits via Church are at the top of the elite ladder. Or are the "barbarians" ruthless state-leaders who only speak in intelligence reports and legal/military briefs and those types of documents are "powertalk"?

Interesting classifications nonetheless...
Literally thousands of protestors were arrested over the summer, violent and nonviolent alike. Hundreds had the shit kicked out of them by police and have no recourse, please take a few hours and watch some of the videos. It seems heavy handed policing, brutality and large numbers of arrests are certainly happening to only one group, just not the way you are implying.
Making secondments and mentoring a more integral part of the process, perhaps, so you promotions happens because of demonstrated skill at what you would be promoted into, rather than demonstrated skill at what you would get promoted out of.

Agreed that ASML isn't the only important company, but they are clearly very important.

EUV is the core technology for the leading-edge nodes of Intel, Samsung, and TSMC. ASML is the only company in the world that makes those machines. They sold 6 of them this past quarter and delivered 9, despite limitations on their ability to do business with Chinese foundries. They're approximately four-fifths of the lithography market in general, and basically five-fifths of the EUV market. So while their machines are not the only component of a foundry's toolkit, it's quite clear that ASML is a critically important business.
I have talked to dozens of people from my circle. Some had covid and some have not but all of them agree on one thing and that is that life should just go on.
Great point, I have updated my post.
autonomous driving needs to be safer than humans to be adopted (some say way safer).

So this argument of humans don't need it, is sort of, well yes. We're trying to do better than humans.
The word was definitely used (and was understood to be offensive) when I was growing up - in Worcestershire in the 90s. I wonder if it's fallen out of use since then.

Semi unrelated, but is FAANG still a comfortable path to such income? I've been debating between doing FAANG or starting my own business for years and the wavering hasn't done me any good.

If it's still possible to make 500k+ working at FAANG now that stocks aren't increasing so rapidly, I need to get on that right away :)
