The poor work harder than the rich? Have you ever met a poor or rich person? Did you not have kids in high-school that never do any of their work then drop out? That is what the path to poverty looks like. Many are poor because they do no work at all.

There is a grand scheme to keep poor people down? What would that look like exactly? How do you keep someone from becoming a truck driver when that is all it takes to escape poverty? The manager at McDonalds is part of the anti-poor scheme also, I suppose? He stands to make sure that his employees that are poor never get a raise or promotion is assistant manager? So no poor person is ever to blame for their situation? And every 'rich' person did nothing and accidentally became that way?
No. Seems a minority gained too much influence. No idea why they are perceived as influential in the first place? They exhibit horrible behaviour. Letting go of Seuss seems like a small price to pay to get rid of them. But the sum total is censorship.
> The M1 felt like yet another step towards making the Mac more closed

There's a certain amount of hubris in this, in that (at least until AMD came along), pretty much every single Intel chip has only made Intel money, while ARM is broadly-licensed and is ripe for a surge. All Apple did was create an ARM-compatible chip, which is how someone already got Linux running on it: https://corellium.com/blog/linux-m1

Here's ARM themselves on their licensing model: https://www.arm.com/why-arm/how-licensing-works

Now, which one is more "closed", really? Near-absolute Intel hegemony that only benefits Intel, or ARM, which seems to benefit anyone who wants to tackle creating an ARM chip?

Honestly (disclosing my bias here), I hope IA64 dies in a fire in 5-10 years. It's had enough time in the limelight, Intel has rested on its laurels of late (arguably holding back progress), and its technical flaws run quite deep (another reason why the M1 seems impressive; ARM is simply a better-designed architecture from the ground up)
Interesting. I heard Immad from Mercury talk about you. Really impressed that you started this up without the "team of 10 and a few million dollars"! How did you manage it or am I misreading something?
What an ignorant thing to say. You pretend like external hard drives don't exist.
That sounds like a nightmare. I'm glad you got out.

It's so sad to hear these stories. Game development has such great potential to be a stimulating workplace in the mix of tech, storytelling and art. On paper it is a fantastic blend. Alas, everyone I've spoken to that's been in the industry has similar horror stories to share. The workforce seems to be regarded as expendable. Investments dictates strategy that ends up being anti-consumer. Maybe this is the same thing that happens in TV or music, when you have big money combined with an endless supply of dreamers that wants to be part of it no matter what?

For someone who is interested in making games (like yours truly), the only viable way forward appears to be the hobbyist/indie route. To ever get discovered without a herculean effort and a massive dollop of luck seems quite unlikely though.
> The parents born in the 30s-50s could largely afford to purchase homes large enough to raise a family in, but far fewer people born in the 70s-90s will be able to do the same.

Does not explain why home sizes grew 2.5x since the 1950s, while the average household size dropped from 3.4 to 2.5. (which is in large part due to the many single-person households).

There's many indications that we're enjoying much more real estate per person than ever before, real estate which is also much more luxurious and located in much more interesting locations, with better schools, more safety, more amenities etc.

Second, we tend to easily forget that the past wasn't divided equally. Being a woman and running your own household independent from a husband was a pipe dream for many women back then. Buying a home was a pipe dream for many black families, too. There's lots of such examples. This past we speak of where 'we all' had it better is often actually a bit of a narrow view of certain groups of people having it better, ignoring others who definitely didn't. Whereas now the average person is better off, in small part at the expense of a smaller group who used to dominate before.
the use of the department of defense IP there is most likely because it's a ISP using one of the DoD's ipv4 /8 blocks internally. There's more than a few (and not just all in China) that have done that, in an attempt to shovel back the tide of needing to fully migrate to ipv6, or due to lack of other ipv4 resources for unique customer numbering.
Latency is the real killer. I used HughesNet satellite internet while travelling for a while and it has a 650ms round trip. Even sites built by talented and well compensated engineers would sometimes be completely unusable. For example, YoutubeTV used to download the video data in tiny little sub 1MB chunks, each from a seemingly separate CDN endpoint. The result was that each chunk needed a DNS roundtrip and then another one or two for SSL handshaking so it would take at a minimum 1.5 - 2 seconds to even start downloading the data. Needless to say, it was not usable.

Moral of the story - latency and roundtrips are the devil and some users have it extra bad, but if you make it work for them, it's going to be amazing for everyone else too.
Of course nuclear plants would not be safe if “the president” ordered citizens to attack them.
The economy has not reacted to the unemployment rate as it should since the housing crash. I don't know what all is broken but *part* of it I think is the gig economy--you aren't unemployed if you scrape up a bit of money that way.

> Careful taking new work in, it will look bad to bring new things into the sprint and not finish

yep. Furthermore, there are many other perverse incentives that I noticed, but one stands out: the incentive not to take on risky or difficult stories out of fear that if it is not finished by the "committed" date (end of sprint), you will be tarred and shamed during the sprint review.
I’ll hazard more drinking and driving is going on too.
Yeah, there is a culture of complacency in C probably owing to the enormous historical baggage of legacy code that has to be supported and the blurred line between stdlib and system call.
This kind of semantic game has to stop.

If you water down the meaning of "addiction" enough then you can say that anything is "addictive" and with that, you can carry over all the connotations of the word.

Then people start saying "I'm addicted to coffee" and "I'm addicted to bread" and before you know it people saying "I'm addicted to heroin" are met with "well, why don't you just stop, like I did with coffee for a week that time".

Since the dawn of time people have tried to make things that people want to use. Making "addiction" a synonym for "success" is just stupid.
Have you heard his music? Almost everyone I've clubbed with, DJ'd with, learnt from, etc all universally say his music fucking sucks. I doubt people listen to him for the quality of his music, than wannabe IBankers looking for inspiration or something (and there was no shortage of analysts at GS who would listen to his shit for vibes or something).

It's a big world, so if you find the right platform for your best talent, you could become the next "surprise" too.
That's the problem I have with nuclear, it's not the technology, it's that our species is not necessarily well-suited to managing the risks associated with nuclear (with some exceptions, maybe France?).
To its credit, it's convenient that the C pre-processor is so powerful that it facilitates baking a "C the good parts" concept directly into the compilation process.

As a (male) who is definitely uninformed - does female fertility begin to decrease far earlier than the biological capacity to have a successful pregnancy (post conception)?

As in, if a woman was to freeze some of her eggs in say, her 20's and desire to use them for IVF in her late 30's, is it still safe for her to have a child?
> It's ridiculous how often people repeat this because they want to live in expensive areas. You don't really have to do that.

It's not a problem limited to "expensive areas" though it is dramatically worse there as a result of zoning restrictions on top of everything.

It's a problem caused by near-zero interest rates inflating housing prices everywhere.

Personal profit, zealotry, career seeking, incompetence, design flaws, political agenda. This also includes the design phase. The RBMK reactor was an irresponsible design from the onset, even without the unknowns.

Graphite moderated reactors are prone to graphite cracking, as also evidenced by UK's AGR reactor fleet. Maybe pebble bed reactors are safer, because new pebbles are continuosly fed in and the spent ones are extracted for reprocessing. We'll se how the HTR-10 and the HTR-PM fare.

It's worth pointing out that essentially the entire US navy is powered by nuclear reactors that service lives in the 3+ decade range, and it's worked astonishingly well. It's not completely without incident, but wow, yeah, civilian nuclear power could really work if held to military standards of engineering and maintenance.

The problem with 15 day sprints is that you tend to get tired and slow down before the end of of the sprint, whereas with 5 day sprints it's easier to go full velocity because you're only sprinting for 1/3rd of the time.

How much are loosening regulations a concern for nuclear in the US?

Obviously recently general utilities haven't fared well as of late (Texas) or nuclear in the past (e.g. Rocky Flats). But as a foreigner who thinks as far as nuclear power is concerned, the DOE seems to being an OK job as of late. Could you share the specifics of the tests you are referring to?
> In short, the problems were human not technical.

I disagree. Problems have been in both human and technical realm and, even worse, there is no way to clearly disentangle those two factors. Good arguments are given in Charles Perrow classic work "Normal Accidents" [1]. It is worth citing the tree main conditions which will result in an accident probability of greater than acceptable

1.The system is complex

2.The system is tightly coupled

3.The system has catastrophic potential

You are awesome! Sorry for the late reply. I have been sick.

It looks like you would be eligible under D). I am assuming you were born before 1991. If your parents do not have their Domovnica (Croatian citizenship certificate) yet, there is a process for doing that. But, the form that I provided in the link in the previous post is the same one that was provided under D).

But yeah, the laws are quite permissive. Having a friendly consulate makes all the difference. :-)

One thing you should be aware of: Canada does not do Apostille on documents. There is a special certification process that you have to do with your documents from Canada, which the consulate will help you with.

But, I do hope you apply for Croatian citizenship. It really is worth the effort, and if you have a helpful consulate, it makes all the difference.

I guess I would want to see the outcomes of the average user. If the median user underperforms the S&P 500, which they likely will, I feel it's misleading to say you're empowering people. The alternative, meme-y yolo stocks, are worse, but is this really better if the informed choice is highly likely to be sitting in an ETF?

I remember visual studio having an option to force include a file, surely something like that would exist for other toolchains
It just has to stay within the boundaries of taste set by the Holy Bible, e.g.:

Gore:

> For the indignation of the LORD is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter. Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood. (Isaiah 34)

Sex:

> Yet she increased her whoring, remembering the days of her youth, when she played the whore in the land of Egypt and lusted after her lovers there, whose members were like those of donkeys, and whose issue was like that of horses. (Ezekiel 23)

So, you know, as long as you go easy on the depiction of BBQ and shrimp, you're probably going to be OK.
The UX of using this list is not by manually searching through the list and seeing the reason behind them. You include the file together with the rest of your sources and now you get compilation errors if you try to use them. Can't think of a better UX for banned functions.

Discovering why the thing is banned you only have to do once, if you care. If you're just modifying something quickly and minor in Git, you might not even care why.
Why invest in "providing value to users" when psychological manipulation is so much cheaper?
Ah hmm yes, good point. I forgot this piece from the article:

We observe a steady deterioration of the generalization error as we increase the noise level. This shows that neural networks are able to capture the remaining signal in the data while at the same time fit the noisy part using brute-force.

Since they score well on the test data, they must have generalized to some degree. But since they're just as good at training on random input they also have the capacity to just memorize the training data.

I'm no physicist, is this traveling wave reactor a "fast breeder" that you're talking about? From what I read, the stability comes from it not being a runaway reaction that needs active brakes. If something fails, the reaction will stop on its own rather than having a meltdown or explosion.

But I'm just parroting what I read in the past (not sure where), I don't do nuclear physics and can't say whether it's snake oil or real.
That's a much better test and thanks for doing it. I usually use a factor of ~10 (9.5) to go from advertised Mb/s to actual MB/s, so I agree 1.4MB/s is decently better than the 10Mbps quoted.

Of course the ultimate test is hopping on a popular torrent ;)

BioNTech would have produced nothing without Pfizer.

Without BioNTech, Pfizer would have partnered with a different company (Moderna, Novavax, the list goes on..) and produced a vaccine.

I don't mean to understate the value of what BioNTech's research set Pfizer (and the world) up for, but without Pfizer there would be no BioNTech vaccine.
i wanted to do the exact opposite, moving photos from Google to apple icloud but google takeout exports are a complete mess
If you want to get your photos out of iCloud but not using Photos, there’s a neat cross-platform Python CLI tool called icloudpd[0]. It uses iCloud API, supports 2FA, and has a variety of options to control what’s downloaded (e.g., by album).

It helped me free up iCloud storage without filling up my SSD (which is what would’ve happened if I synced the whole library using Photos). I pointed icloudpd to one massive album with random Filmic footage, which I then transferred to external storage. Download took multiple runs due to size and network interruptions, thankfully the tool avoids redownloading already completed items.

I'm having a hard time understanding.

But from your first sentence I gather you think my comment is trying to justify the current business practices of ad driven tech companies. It is not. I fundamentally disagree with that revenue model, at least how it primarily exists today, for many reasons.

One can work at changing the system which allows such business models to exist but typically that is much harder than working within the system to mitigate some of its effects on the individual. Working to change the system typically has much wider effects while working within the system typically has much narrower effects (one must opt in) and as such some or many may be left out.

My comment is about what one pragmatically might do when working within the system.

I fear that data caps for home internet will become standard. There is no technological reason for these caps. For wireless, they could be defended by arguing that companies only get to use so much spectrum because of FCC laws. But the only limit for home internet is the ISP's willingness to deploy equipment and install cable/fiber runs. That's exactly what customers are paying them to do.
Why is this specific to females? This happens to males indirectly. Unless your fabulously wealthy and can basically hire a 25 Y/O wife/Surrogate Mother, most men have steadily declining chance to have a child as they get older too. Simply because the available pool of fertile females willing to have a child with them is declining.

That is not even to mention actual biological problems that make men functionally infertile. So while its technically possible for men to have children until they are dead, realistically a large number are loosing their fertility as well. I know couples in their 30's/early 40's where it turned out to be the male causing the problems.
