It's an investment problem for those who hold the money in the organization.

Say, we have an organisation consisting of exec team and engineering team.

Engineering team has a bright idea that a certain undertaking will reduce time to make one widget. They bring this case to exec team. "It will reduce the cost of a widget from X1 to X2, the project will take T time and cost C."

If exec team sees this investment interesting and possible, they make that investment. The worth of the project is simply its cost C. Exec team willingly paid, and if they got what they wanted for it, they should be happy with "productivity". (Similarly to how you don't bemoan "productivity" of the baker you buy your bread from.)
The military get this (usually) and place a lot of emphasis on training a team as a whole. In a tank, for example, the individual crew members train in their specific functional areas (e.g. commander, gunner, driver, loader) and when they have qualified in these, then go on to conduct team training as an integrated crew, which must be passed before the individuals can progress in their careers. In some armies, the individuals get a qualification that shows that they can work in a team context, and then can be flexed into actual operational crews as required. In others, the team is considered to be trained as a unit, and must be retrained when someone leaves / joins.

The military often go beyond team training in a way that very few other organizations do, and conduct 'collective training' that involves multiple teams. Collective training itself has multiple levels - e.g. at the lowest level, two or more tank crews working together in a tactical task (e.g. when four tanks encounter an enemy, which one should engage it?), gradually adding other functions (e.g. infantry, artillery, etc) so that all of the different tactical 'trades' have formal training in how to work together. At these higher levels, the feedback and qualifications are aimed at the units rather than the individual soldiers.

The military are also conscious of group dynamics, for example the 'storming, norming, forming' that occurs when team membership changes, and the effect of 'churn' on a team, as individuals join and leave.

Have you tried the trackballs formerly known as "Clearly Superior" now "Xtrac" apparently[1]. I like the physical scroll wheel and dedicated middle mouse button, the internals are mechanical not optical (I have had problems with kensingtons in this regard), and there are some fairly alluring foot peddle expansion ports on the back that I've not played with yet.

if you do go down this route, I would suggest avoiding a model with an LED in it. while it looks cool for sure the LED is positioned so that shines right in your eyes if you put the device front and center (like in between a split keyboard).

Most of these 'movements' are merely contrarian in my opinion, is any perceived 'elite' for something? You're against! Are they against? You're all for it!

A prime example is Covid-19 and hydroxychloroquine, on the one hand the virus is 'just a flu' because scientists and politicians say it's dangerous, on the other hand hydroxychloroquine is highly effective because scientists say it's either useless or dangerous. It reminds me of Orwell's idea of doublethink, holding two thoughts contradictory to each other but still accepting it as the truth.

RSS is pull only. It probably serves 80% of needs for most people ("I want to know when so-and-so has new content without manually going to the site") but ActivityPub does a bit more:

- pushes content to subscribers in real-time (doable with RSS with WebSub https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebSub)

- allows content to "swim back" to the publisher: comments, replies, retweets/boost (doable with WebMentions https://www.w3.org/TR/2017/REC-webmention-20170112/)

- defines a protocol for posting to an AP-enabled endpoint (doable with micropub)

AP defines a lot of things but doesn't do it well (see https://schub.wtf/blog/2019/01/13/activitypub-final-thoughts...), because it is not strict enough in what constitutes valid content. There are alternatives, listed above, that already do the work but they are centered towards everyone having their own server and going from site to site to post comments; the real appeal of AP solutions is that they're an all-in-one blob you connect to, and from which you do your browsing. The indieweb people (responsible for the alternatives above) have come up with "social readers" to enable this and have made a few propositions already: see https://indieweb.org/social_reader (https://aaronparecki.com/2018/03/12/17/building-an-indieweb-... in particular)

Agreed! What is challenging is that, as a culture, we do not have a collective sense of what is solid “information”. Between filter bubbles and the previous administration contradicting its own messaging, topped off with a populace lacking the mental training to sort through it all and figure out what makes sense, the resulting confusion seems inevitable.

It’s easy to point at the result(eg people making stupid decisions) and ignore the root causes (eg lack of critical thinking skills training, filter bubbles, and more), but to see real systemic changes, the root causes are what will need attention.
Where are the scientists looking at all the credible UFO sightings? Nowhere, because scientists are just like everyone else, they don't actually want to discover any thing new or change anything, they want to reconfirm what they think they already know, which for the most part means maintaining the status quo. The number of scientists or astronomers who laugh off thousands of credible first hand reports of people seeing unexplainable things in the sky...they're not interested unless it fits into an already accepted framework. The idea that there "isn't any evidence" for non earth based UFOs visiting earth is plain wrong. What you conclude from the evidence is, of course, up for debate, but I've never seen a main stream astronomer say they've even looked at this evidence. Like this article suggests, I think this represents a real crisis in science. How timid and scared we must be to not even talk about this in real terms, we imagine star trek and laugh. "why don't they arrive on the white House lawn"? "why do they always appear to some redneck blah blah". I think all the astronauts and pilots who are listed amoungst ufo reporters would disagree with the second statement and as for the white House lawn... we humans send space ships to other planets, they study then and send back data. If aliens are here then they will be studying us and attempting not to disturb. They would want to introduce us to the idea of extra terrestrial life slowly as they would have gone through this innocence as well and would know what damage radical change can do. If that sounds ridiculous to you I suggest you're not thinking realistically about aliens, you are living in the star trek universe. I ask which is more realistic?
You can make that argument about anything. How about betting on a timeframe?
>>The idea that Amazon is going to stop hiring workers if they get more pee breaks... that's just not how markets work. If Amazon could afford to let those workers go, it would have done it already.

They will hire fewer workers.. there will be fewer profitable business ventures when the cost of one of the inputs to production increases.

In some case, it's true that higher wages will reduce profits, instead of reducing the number of jobs available, but that is not a good thing.

High profit margins encourage greater investment.

Take N95 masks for instance. If there is a shortage, any one producing them will raise prices and earn a huge profit.

Now let's say a progressive politician is elected and decides that those profits should be reallocated to the workers producing the N95 masks, so imposes an industry-specific minimum wage for N95 mask creators. Now profit margins decline for producing N95 mask makers, and N95 mask maker employees earn more.

What's lost is the massive influx of investment capital that high profit margins would otherwise have elicited, that would have raised N95 mask supply, which would have made the masks more affordable and plentiful.

Price controls don't work to increase net welfare. They reduce social welfare for reasons Economics explains in depth. Prices are a collectively generated signal produced from a complex network of interlocking exchanges that are based on a vast array of localized calculations. They are the product of a super collective intelligence that tells us where economic resources should be allocated.

>>It's not just wrong because reality is more complicated and in practice the simplistic models don't always bare out

Basic supply and demand theory tells us that the minimum wage, to the extent that it has an effect, harms wage growth. In the absence of the ability to conduct controlled experiments to prove definitively its effect one way or another, we should opt to trust basic economy theory.

There are a bunch of outlier situations in which artificial price bounds might theoretically not create economic deadweight losses, but it's nowhere as simple as "the economy doesn't conform to a simplistic model therefore a price floor is good".

It's entirely possible for price controls to still create losses while the market is not perfectly competitive.

Earlier last year around May, when the stock market seemed to pick up after the COVID crash, I purchased a number of deep OTM LEAPs (long expiry options; until early this year). They were incredibly cheap. I often had trouble finding a market maker for those.

I only chucked about $2000 in, but these options have grossed $15,000 in realised returns and $25,000 in unrealised returns.

Options allowed me to make a “bet” that stocks would go crazily up. Options can be a valuable tool if you know how to use it.
No, sales goes to the customer when you have a product to sell. The product manager need to go to the customer to understand what they need, and what product needs to be created.

>Since when is public health a political, cultural or ethical issue ?

You're either not American or you've been living under a rock for the past year. Public health has been a political issue for decades, and culture and ethics are inseparable from politcs. And then COVID happened and now everything down to believing the virus exists and choosing to take precautions has political ramifications.

It shouldn't be that way but it is.
> The whole thing is just about arrow composition!

There's much much more to it.

For example, a version of the yoneda lemma also holds for metric spaces (instead of a set of arrows between to things, you simply have a number indicating a distance between two things).

Here's how I like to think about the yoneda lemma:

If you have some kind of objects you want to talk about, one way to do this is by relating these objects to each other. Once you have established such a "method of discourse" (i.e. a way to talk about how your objects relate to each other) the yoneda lemma tells you:

1. You can forget about the inner structure of your objects; Everything is already contained in your "method of discourse".

2. Inversely: The choice of a "method of discourse" severely limits what you can say about your objects.

3. There is no spoon: To understand how you can escape these limitations you need a "method of discourse" for "methods of discourse".
> > Great empires were built without interest.

> Like which?

I think part of the problem is that the GP is conflating debt leverage and interest. My understanding is that there have been societies essentially without debt leverage, and no societies without loan yield.

As far as interest, all non-altruistic loans have strictly positive yield. You can use contracts to shift payments around and nominally get rid of interest, but you can always calculate an equivalent interest rate from the loan's yield. In the middle ages, they discovered that an investment, an insurance contract, and a contract-for-difference (sale of profit) together (contractum trinius) could perfectly replicate the cash flows of an interest-bearing-loan.[0] Presumably the contractum trinius is what eventually lead to the Catholic Church allowing interest-bearing loans.

My understanding is that the joint ventures set up for Islamic finance end up having cash flows equivalent to interest-bearing loans, though perhaps with important differences regarding collateral and leverage.

The yield on these loans is always strictly positive, and an interest rate equivalent to that yield is easily calculated. You can shift payments around and structure things so that there's nominally no interest, but there's still yield on the loan.

Now, I think there is some healthy debate to be had over the role of leverage and collateral in the economy, and also non-dischargeable debt like student loans.

I don't disagree about the importance of introductions.

I can't count the number of times I've looked at the home page of documentation for some product and it has felt like stumbling into a teenagers' conversation conducted entirely incomprehensible references, slang and in-jokes.

An introduction needs to say what the thing is, what it does and why someone might want to use it. Usually that can be expressed in a few sentences.

I don't really see it as a mode of documentation in the way that the four components I describe are.

I wouldn't worry too much though. The framework isn't intended as a "do this, all this and nothing but this or you're doing it wrong" final statement on the art of documentation.

It's more a tool for thinking about what you are writing, for whom, and how you can best write it for them. It's to be used however someone finds it useful.
I'm personally glad that Amazon are able to express this sentiment for all to see. That the only time they've ever supposedly cared about the spending power of the workers they employ concerns union membership dues should be quite telling. They're betting that unions are going to cost them money because they believe that high union membership will lead to better wages, costly improvements to working conditions or other costly responsibilities. There's no other conceivable reason for them to publish this trite because it is in their interest to pay as little as possible for as much productive power as possible. It's not at all in their interest that you could buy a fancy dinner for the money you'd spend on membership dues.
I agree: Very nice indeed.

There is an applied category theory course that is currently in the process of wrapping up: https://applied-compositional-thinking.engineering/

The examples in the course offer a complementary entry point to category theory compared to an approach that leverages programmers' knowledge of functional programming.

Personally, the more examples the better. I'm grateful to be able to rely on the example of a category as a collection of objects corresponding to types, and arrows between types corresponding to functions with that type signature, and arrow composition corresponding to function composition (and functors, and natural transformations, and ... corresponding to familiar concepts like polymorphic types, and map, and polymorphic functions and ...). I believe that many programmers can [come to] understand this one specific example of category theory objects, even if the words are unfamiliar. And there are so many more examples! There is a great pleasure in formalizing the analogies across different aspects of math and engineering.

To get a flavor of and gentle introduction to the analogy-making power of category theory, I recommend this talk by Eugenia Cheng: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ho7oagHeqNc

More than 20 years have passed and I don't see any of that here, not even minor changes on the coast. I see more problems (here at least) because agrochemicals and deforestation than from global warming.

You need a licence to drive certain motor vehicles but even that doesn't, I think, though I may be wrong here, have anything to do with roads, in that you'd need the same licence to drive the same motor vehicle in any public place. Not that there are many non-road public places where you would be allowed to drive a motor vehicle. A few beaches, perhaps?
