You can easily replace that with
> Brazil burns down forest mainly because of the Chinese desire for soy beans to feed pigs

and the point still stands. Brazil is planting soy beans because a rich trading partner is paying them more than the ranforests attract with no future foresight, despite this being a devestating blow to the entire world. It's unreasonable to expect Brazil to stand up and say "hey we're done with this" while other powers are encouraging the practices.

Can't have that in Germany as labour laws require a 30 minutes break if working more than 6 hours and an extra 15 minutes if working more than 9 hours (including the 30 minutes break.

Purely a matter of scarcity. Back then people had a real need to know what other people think about things. Then they found out, then they found out more than they should, then they no longer needed to know, then they realized they couldn't stop the torrent so they jumped in to purely vent.

> This is all about protecting the local wine industry through tarriffs

Don't you think it has to do with culture and disincentivizing? Most countries tend to tax potentially harmful products a lot higher than other products. See tobacco for example. The astronomical price for a pack of smokes is not for protecting local industries.
According to the last company I worked at, software engineers can do everyone else's jobs when things get behind. PO busy? Work with the customer to get requirements, then write stories and tickets. QA running behind? Developers can do the testing. Need to hire more people and the manager doesn't have time? Have the devs do all the interviews. Need more ops staff? Call it DevOps and put the devs on call.

So clearly software engineers are the smartest people in any organization. No wonder they become CEOs!

As I see it, in the summer there's plenty of daylight so it doesn't matter very much how you set your clock, but in the winter it does matter: children would be cycling to school in the dark if you moved the clocks forward (and they'd be cycling back from school in the dark if you moved the clocks back). Therefore, if you want to abolish the clock changes, which seems like an excellent idea to me, the safe and conservative way to do that is to use today's winter time all year round.

You can call yourself a developer if you do a startup. I distunguish SEs based on how deep they go. Developers can throw up a house in the suburbs. An engineer might be needed to extract water or something specific. CS is a good qualifer for an engineer, while a developer can be the neighbor kid.
It depends. I am not that familiar with US, but in most of Europe you do have layered system. Basic table wine rules are quite relaxed, but then you have higher levels with more or less strict rules for farming practices, yield and vinification practices. Those practices are then checked by governing body or goverment.
Another argument against the "going dark" claim is that before smartphones and the internet, the only conversations the FBI could monitor was through phonelines and mail. These were known to be easily monitored and I doubt there was much more criminal activity happening through those then than now.

I would argue that the conversations that have gone online are the interactions that were previously happening in-person (at least in term of criminal activity), to which the FBI didn't have access before.

There is something Orwellian with the idea that there shouldn't be a word that can be pronounced in the country that the government cannot record and listen to after the fact. The limits of what is legal or not have always moved (see homosexuality, drug and alcohol consumption, etc). So a 100% enforcement of the law is counter-intuitively undesirable.

This is a wrong premise. The US people don't have to trust them, ultimately, their opinion is not important. What is important is that whoever currently is in power considers them useful - which is easy to achieve.

Tech, more than likely, contributes towards personal experience. I can safely say this about Portugal: this is a country where companies do not want to invest in a tech department. There is a culture of outsourcing all tech related work. This has caused the birth of manyyy "outsourcing tech companies" - the sort of companies that hire tech talent just to shift them over to "projects", where you go to work for someone else and are at the complete mercy of the client (who demands the world since they have an expensive contract with the outsourcing company).

This has been my woe, and the same can be said about many of my friends and uni acquaintances. I suspect other fields might not have it this badly.

I have found a completely different culture here in the UK, there is so much demand for tech workers, combined with a much better approach towards companies investing in tech - it feels like the worker has that much power, if I'm not happy I can just go get a job somewhere else, probably within a week of quitting. It's a very different dynamic when compared to Portugal: Jobs are scarce and the pay isn't great. Tech is non-innovation driven, you're not there to think about the future, just to fix present issues that are very specific to some random company.

I don't miss Portugal at all when it comes to work.

>I fundamentally believe printing as much money as we are across the rich world is going to lead to disaster, just as it has time and again in the developing world (see Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Argentina, Brazil, etc.).

When will the US government repossess farms and corporations? Once that happens I can guarantee that hyperinflation is going to happen. Another way is to just bomb the USA's means of production.

Those are the primary ways hyperinflation happens. By destroying the ability to exchange currency for products and services the perceived value of the currency becomes worthless. It doesn't even take an increased money supply for it to happen, it merely accelerates hyperinflation by adding additional money into an economy where the velocity of money is at its peak.

According to Keynesian economics we would have to print significantly less money. Whatever is happening right now is neither Keynesian economics nor MMT. It's a pump and dump for rich people.

The way monetary policy is implemented dates from the 1930s when banks' main business was lending money to businesses and people to build stuff. That money went directly to the hands of people who used it to buy tangible goods and real services. Since the repeal of Glass-Steagall in in the '80s, banks and financial institutions have started using money creatively to invest in other financial products. They realized that the best return on investment is actually, investing. So now whenever the Fed loosens monetary policy, we have more money chasing the same financial instruments. As a result, we see inflating stock prices (bubbles) but no inflation in the real world. Furthermore, if this pattern existed when Jimmy Stewart played his role in 'It's a Wonderful Life', we would still be in the same depression with poverty, disease and scarcity ravaging the nation. In fact, we are headed that way as our infrastructure ages and fails and we continue to outsource jobs that could be done by the unemployed here in the US.

The solution is to make a law that requires money from financial gains(capital gain, interest income, etc)only spendable on real goods and services. In other words, we need two kinds of money. Real money that comes from profits of operations invoilving tangible goods and services, and 'another kind of money' that comes from financial gains. This other kind of money could be tax free (no capital gains, no income tax, etc) but would be restricted to the purchase of real goods and the employment of people in non-financial service sectors.
When my grandparents entered the workforce in Norway, the working week was typically 54 hours. When my parents entered the workforce it was limited to no more than 45 hours, and a couple of years later it was down to 42.5 hours. By the time I was born it was 40 hours. Before I entered the workforce, it was down to 37.5 hours for most employees (it is legally limited to 40 hours, but 37.5 has been the norm since 1986).

While you have a point that other factors like retirement age (and in recent years, a growing fear of an aging population) has certainly been part of the reason why it hasn't dropped as fast as some expected, in countries with a strong labour movement it certainly has dropped significantly, and even in countries with a weak labour movement it is still lower than it used to be.

2) When compiling the benchmark did you have cross-language inlining enabled? (IIRC you need to compile your C++ code with a specific version of Clang to get it to inline between Rust and C++)

If people have to pay you'd have much less bad content to begin with - only the very dedicated trolls would actually put real money on the line to get their shit posted.

The problem is that we are both approaching this as a problem that needs to be solved, while in reality it only needs to appear like one.

Social media companies make their revenue out of "engagement", and posts breaking the rules often generate the most of it, so properly moderating them would actually hurt their bottom line by more than just the cost of said moderation.

These companies are incentivized to leave as much "bad" content up as they can (as it generates engagement) while making it look like they are taking action as to not risk bad PR or legal consequences. Same goes for deterring or punishing offenders - long-term bans are trivial to implement and would significantly deter breaking the rules, but would also decrease "engagement".

I wonder how these two cope with one another. To me, you're either not local (must connect to be sure your data have persisted) or you need something more than just browser. Otherwise you're at the mercy of browser vendor not to destroy your in-browser data with borked update.

> we use less metal to make containers for the same volume of liquid.

But we use x% more containers every year. This is exactly like plane engines getting x% more efficient, it doesn't matter if you double the number of flights over the same period.

You can always make micro adjustments here and there but it won't do much in the long run, they just give us excuses to stay collectively lazy. If your house is on fire, throwing water at it with a table spoon instead of a tea spoon won't do much of a difference.

> 1) the word “tax” In carbon-tax terrifies people, especially in America. So we get a tragedy of the commons situation with the cost of carbon made into an externality.

Reducing their quality of life and expectations is what terrifies people. People want their vacations to Tahiti, their SUV, their detached single family homes with backyards and front yards, more children etc.

People know the only way out of this is to reduce consumption - of everything. But obviously few want to, especially when they don’t believe others will chip in and reduce also.
I didn't realise this was the listed title of the article. I like it than "the FBI should stop attacking encryption" a lot better.
Keynesians believe that stimulating the right part of the economy will increase the speedup of recovery. When you fail to stimulate the right part of the economy that's not Keynesian economics. Most proponents of Keynesian politics are in favor of fiscal stimulus. Namely infrastructure investments and jobs programs. Where do you see this happening?

Meanwhile Austrian economics is just some meme that is anti Keynesian and doesn't even attempt to solve any problem other than get rid of Keynesian economics. This is especially telling when they are extra loud when no Keynesian economics are being done so they feel justified in their criticism.

What we have right now is closer to trickle down economics. Douse the rich in money with the hope that some drops reach the poor.

> Isn't the whole point of compression algorithms to find string of bytes that are the same?

No. The goal of compression algorithms is to describe an object approximately (lossy) or accurately (lossless) using the smallest number of [insert unit] possible. In some cases looking for strings of bytes that are the same serves well enough.

Examples of lossy algorithms that don't just look for same strings of bytes are audio and video codecs.

An example of lossless compression that works differently would be compressing "123456789" as "1 to 9".

> Seems simple to detect and handle?

Sure. If you've got infinite memory and time. Depending on your format you may also need to read the whole input before you can start writing the first byte.

As a concrete example of doctors practices increasing their productivity: Video consultation preceded with automated triage to push more people to consultations with nurses, pharmacists etc. instead of going via a doctor first. The triage itself reduces the number of doctors consultations by removing a step in the process whenever the triage is successful.

Several companies does this (disclaimer: My employer is an investor in one of them).
No one should work 8 hours straight but something like 7.00-15.00. Spain also has a mandatory break after 6 hours of work (15 mins and up) and it counts as working time.
