Arguably, the tax filing sounds like the single worst part of it. Imagine if you really used Bitcoin for every purchase you make in a normal tax year. Suddenly how much you pay in taxes depends on the path integral of the exchange rate over the entire period. That's an absolute accounting nightmare. Now you have a huge incentive to batch all of your purchases at market low points to minimize tax burden and you're stuck trying to beat the market just to buy groceries. That isn't something I want to have to think about.

That is exactly the feeling I get the couple of times when I am out hiking hiking and see the most spectacular winter night sky. The feeling of being in the middle of nowhere and seeing the dark sky with an uncountable number of stars is indescribable. I believe it is a great loss of modern society and I really hope we are able to do something about it, we could do just fine without most of the street lighting we have today.
alright, that's reasonable.
No, it's a caricature because I mistook the Cleveland Indians logo for the Washington Redskins logo, my bad.
When we overwork, the line between work and personal time blurs such that they eventually become the same. So you don't feel guilty about slacking off.

Long hours in an office setting promote procrastination. Why do something now when you are going to be here at 8PM anyway and will need something to occupy your time?

Once you stop procrastinating, because you know you can't be at work late, then you build up work inertia. This is probably where all the efficiency gains are.
Some exchanges will let you withdraw to a lightning wallet so you never have to interact with the base blockchain layer for smaller day-to-day transactions.

The engineer in me completely agrees with you, but I have a feeling the non-fiction books are geared to be as much entertainment as they are enlightening. If you want to forgo the former, look for case studies and mishap investigations instead. The government oversight agencies have a lot available online.

> BSD ZFS I believe uses the same code as Linux nowadays or was at least planning to.

Just because FreeBSD and Linux share the same ZFS upstream it doesn’t mean the experience of running ZFS on Linux is in any way comparable to running it on FreeBSD.

For starters, it’s a default in FreeBSD rather than an optional driver you have to install yourself (or even compile yourself on some distros). And that along makes a massive difference when it comes to maintenance.

Posting to a top-level comment: The productivity claim has been removed from the Japanese report[0]. An erratum at the bottom of the page dated November 8, 2019 says this:

"In the announcement dated October 31, one of the listed "improvements" from the 2019 Summer Work-Life Choice Challenge was an increase of 39.9% in labor productivity (sales revenue per employee) in August 2019 compared to August 2018, with a graph below.

"While this number is factual, it is not solely the result of this challenge, and was achieved due to a number of different factors.

"To avoid misunderstanding, we have removed that claim from the above summary of the direct effects of the challenge."

i'd guess that while a 4-day week de-jure, it was de-facto a 5-day week with 1 day being free of meetings, manager's micromanagement, communication&collaboration (like being able to ignore Slack for the whole day) and other corporate crap. In this case it would mean that the productivity in that 1 day grew 3x to result in that 40% growth for the whole week. Those 3x estimate pretty much matches my experience of how big the corporate crap is a drag on productivity.
I don't understand how that little line could be so misinterpreted so wrong. I'm not ashamed of being white, I'm ashamed of asshats running around gunning for cheap SJW points while ignoring the real issues. We can do better. Master/slave, blacklist/whitelist etc has no relation to race at all so it's a completely pointless act. But instead this is taking center stage just so people can post "feelgood" LinkedIn/Twitter posts to make them feel better about themselves, or company PR blog posts like GitHub and GitLab while doing nothing to change the actual status quo.
See, their plans are already far ahead of the competition.

But Tesla's battery plans are detailed and specific, 50% reduction in cost with the same battery chemistry by doing these 5 things. VW's is 50% reduction in cost by changing to Iron. Tesla's already using Iron in their standard range cars, there's just no comparison
Many people argue that Scheme is not a lisp, so the bar for "some people argue that X is not really a lisp" is fairly low.
> The initiative is timely. Japan has long grappled with a grim — and in some cases, fatal — culture of overwork. The problem is so severe, the country has even coined a term for it: karoshi means death by overwork from stress-induced illnesses or severe depression.

I love the ignorant CNN contributors there. You can really see the full effect of people commenting about cultures they do not know or do not understand.

First, 'overwork' is not what you think. Most of work done in Japanese companies is not busy work. Long hours are often the result of excessive bureaucracy and long meetings, and the expectation that you'll go out for dinner (maybe not everyday, but regularly enough) with your peers as a form of social bonding at the end of the day (something that is not really a thing in other cultures). If you don't understand that aspect of the culture, well you don't understand anything at all really.

As for coining words. Japanese people have a coin word for everything under the sun, even mundane things that foreigners would have no expression for. It's a culture that loves making new words, new expressions, new acronyms - very much in the DNA of the Japanese language, so there's no "even coined a term for X" that remotely means anything at all. Niche phenomena also coined specific words, and it does not mean there's a massive trend going on.

You should be a lot more concerned by the number of suicides in Japan than by the number of people dying from overwork - it's not even on the same scale at all.
This comment I think is implying that all biases are evolutionarily encoded, which I am certain is false. Many biases are formed by your absorption of the actions and words of the people you grow up around.

The point isn't "biases shouldn't exist." The point is, "not all biases are accurate or useful," and "some biases can be actively harmful to either yourself or others."

I used to work with chemicals frequently. Humans have a bias towards treating clear, odorless fluids as being safe. That is a deeply dangerous bias in a biochemistry lab. You've got to be aware of it and act to counteract it. In my experience, that's all anyone is asking for: that we recognize where our biases might be harmful and try to limit that harm.
At least 2 other things to think about when reading workplace experiments like this:

1) Hawthorne Effect when workers are aware of being observed in response to a novel change: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawthorne_effect

2) Difficulty and disagreement in measuring the success of a change: E.g. France has had 20+ years of the 35-hour work week and there's still debate on whether it was successful. : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/35-hour_workweek#Criticism

Not sure if this was the first year for tax returns to have it, but I was asked to document every single time I spent bitcoin to purchase something. Because you have to pay capital gains on the value above when you bought it. I wonder if this is true here but either way it's a massive pain in the ass.
maybe it could work, but in practice it's often not as easy as you'd like it to be. disconnecting everyone at or around the same time simultaneously can easily create a thundering herd or a TCP global synchronization problem, so "just ask everyone to reconnect" has its own set of complications.
Most commands I'd run would need sudo anyway so a mis-paste would probably run with sudo if I used it. Never had a mishap from a mispaste like that though, no.

But, I have to deal with various webapps - jira, confluence, continuous integration settings, our internal source code instance, etc - and I can't imagine the scenario where spending the time to configure and learn keyboard-only navigation would result in an efficiency payoff.

That's the beauty of Vimium, it gets you 90% there, but those 90% work the same everywhere.
This coaching fallacy is actually quite toxic in my experience... many/most people in the workplace don't want to change, and they don't want constructive criticism.

Every ineffective manager that I've ever known thinks that they can coach people into being more productive, better team members... but in the end those managers simply pat themselves on the back while the employee goes on causing headaches for the rest of the team.

If you define a great filter as something that statistically prevents the preponderance of life in the galaxy, then "any mega black swan even" is just noise. With small likelihood, it will wipe out a civilization, (definition of black swan). But for it to be a great filter per definition, it has to somewhat reliably affect all potentially universe-spanning intelligence. All I'm saying is that most likely, once an intelligent tribe of creates arises, it's likely to go on to dominate the planet, and likely to go on to reach technological readiness to go to space (assuming it can get access to energy easily, which may be another small filter).

So, you're not wrong, all dangers events could be humanity's end, I'm just saying something more general -- that civilization-limiting events are probably clustered before the civilization arises.
The same thing applies to MIDI music from the same era. Though I'm not sure how much of it was related to the technology and how much was the culture or aesthetic influences of game makers at the time.
The arguments I have seen are based on Janet using arrays/tuples rather than cons cells. Here is the author addressing this on reddit a while back. https://old.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/aqwedz/janet_i...

The debate continues in the thread. Either way, I think Janet is very useful for situations where you want something lisp like and also want/need small executables. I've experimented with it quite a bit and have found it really useful for putting together cli apps.

That's a very good question, one that I don't have an answer to. "A very solid choice" was a very poor choice of phrasing. I was intending to generalize the reasoning behind the recent surges in value and popularity.

My statement was more intended to be a critique on the current perception to the layman. I believe bitcoin and crypto as a whole should be looked on as a currency, rather than a get-quick-rich investment that absolutely anyone with a spare penny can leverage for their own profit.
Ask “what edge cases are there?” when first describing the task and let them go off and work a while.

Later ask “are there any other edge cases?” and let them work a while longer.

Repeat as appropriate.

Let them find them on their own for a while or two.

Let them miss them on their own for a while or two.

At the right time ask “have you thought about this potential edge case?”

If you want someone to learn to deal with edge cases, they need to see it is something you value and give them time to learn how to do it.

And how not to do it. “Not” in the logical sense not “not” in a punishment sense or job evaluation sense.

Edge cases are hard and everyone screws them up. The context needs to be safe enough that people can own their mistakes and learn something other than to hide their ignorance.

Good luck.
I'm not sure how the philosophy of minimal install vs. full install has anything to do with a “desktop experience”.

The “tinkering” is nothing more than installing optional software which one may or may not want, in this case suspending and installing XFCE.

Yes co-founder here. Been building apps with it for 2 years now. Its really powerful for building data intensive UIs.
Have built full scale dashboard solutions for enterprises, buys with a large CRM like 5 companies combined into one system large. Also quite far along building an MRP on it for a small factory.
The flexibility is what really makes it super. Client says the UX is not great for a specific task, no problem. Let’s imagine something better.
Also scales well when bringing on new devs in the team coz its such a structured way of writing UIs.

Yes, effectively all US media are propaganda for the elites at this point. After the way the mainstream media threw the election for Joe Biden this past election, I think many people will turn to less traditional sources.

It is simply too much of a coincidence that all these false stories about Donald Trump got published, yet any negative story about Joe Biden, e.g. the Hunter Biden scandal was thrown down the memory hole.
This article states that that is at least the view of the french antitrust watchdog after consulting with the body responsible for enforcing privacy laws in France.

Certainly by the spirit of the GDPR, Apple is enforcing the expectation. Whether there is legal wriggle room for a more limited interpretation appears to be up to your local regulator's decision making about who to prosecute.

I'm at least not aware of anyone winning a case on viewwrap or required consent, though privacy bodies aren't keeping up with people finding new excuses to not comply.

You can't discount the idea that wealthy people generally have shared values that are more conducive to successful careers for their children. Therefore it shouldn't be surprising that wealthy students are more likely to get accepted into prestigious universities irrespective of how much money they have.

Having said that, there is no reason why a poor family can't also impart the same values to their children. It's just more difficult because they have to learn those values on their own, rather than being taught from a young age.
The GDPR mandates that any non-essential tracking should be strictly opt-in, and targeted advertising doesn’t fall into that. The problem is that the GDPR is not enforced (at least not that aspect of it - preempting “enforcementtracker.com” links trying to prove me wrong) so websites get away with it.

It is my understanding as well that the Apple changes don’t require anything new that the GDPR didn’t require anyway, so should these companies have been compliant it wouldn’t have been a problem.

"It takes no more research than a trip to almost any public library or college to show the incredibly lopsided coverage of slavery in the United States or in the Western Hemisphere, as compared to the meager writings on even larger number of Africans enslaved in the Islamic countries of the Middle East and North Africa, not to mention the vast numbers of Europeans also enslaved in centuries past in the Islamic world and within Europe itself. At least a million Europeans were enslaved by North African pirates alone from 1500 to 1800, and some Europeans slaves were still being sold on the auction blocks in Egypt, years after the Emancipation Proclamation freed blacks in the United States." — Thomas Sowell

You could think of it that way.

Otherwise, you have to note the current price of coin in USD each time you use coin to pay for something, because you owe capital gains or losses on whatever currency you liquidated to make the purchase.

This take on Bitcoin -- not backed by anything in the physical or virtual world -- is misinformed. You're correct that coin isn't specifically backed by anything in the sense that you can't trade it in for a an equivalent asset like gold. But neither is the US dollar. BTC's value is backed at least by the billions that have been spent on mining architecture by companies like MARA and RIOT, large mining pools, producers of mining ASICs, etc. Huge amounts of physical and virtual infrastructure have been created to achieve the current global hash rate, and the stakeholders in that infrastructure have vested interest in the value of Bitcoin remaining high. China is transitioning to digital currency, which lends legitimacy to the technology. There is also a growing collection of institutional owners, such as MicroStrategy, Square, and Tesla's notorious $1.5B buy in.

The USD is backed by "the full faith and confidence of the US Government" since leaving the gold standard. Bitcoin is backed by collective faith and confidence in the security and utility of the underlying blockchain. As more opportunities arise to transact in Bitcoin, its value will tend to stabilize.
