The domestic ship building industry imploded. America is an economic empire built on maritime shipping with only one remaining commercial shipyard capable of producing large vessels, and it is being kept alive with government contracts.
That is bad policy. There is a segment of middle/upper class Americans who own stock; anyone with a retirement plan that funds it. Forcing middle/upper class legislatures into a cash position instead of stocks would make them less, not more connected to similarly placed people. If they can't own stock does that mean they'll just instead invest in real estate which can be even more conflicted?

Of course, if they held widely diversified Index funds there would be fewer conflicts - but not zero as evidenced by legislators trading around COVID briefings.
That is the problem in a nutshell

It's hard to imagine a net financial benefit for many of the studies.

Of course it's not perfect. But dismissing something like this out of had for what, (vague ideological reasons?) is irrational. There is good research in the area, and you are free to read it. There is some poor research in the area too, such is life.

It's not even suggesting anything malicious, just that in many cases if you follow the easiest path in design and testing, you will end up biasing your inputs in ways that have impact. I have seen this play out.

The US poverty line for a family of 4 is 26,xxx. 4-5k above poverty level is not middle class: you are still poor. It isn't like that 5k a year - $416 before taxes - puts you in middle class. You are still getting free lunch, for example. You still qualify for SNAP.

House prices aren't telling you anything: Poor folks have trouble saving up for a down payment and have more issues keeping credit good enough for a house, due to lack of funds to pay things. House prices matter little if you can't actually qualify to buy them.

>It's statements like this that drive me deep into despair. That bland, banal platitude of "value". That non-statement of inaction phrased as "we need a better vision".

Value has a very specific economic meaning. It means a product or service with a price. Providing employees with more value is a way of stating they plan is to give them more XYZ, but not necessarily pay them more.

There are lots of non-pay increase propositions that employers can do that add a ton of value for employees. On site, at-cost daycare. On site medical/dental visits (e.g. staff Direct Primary Care). At cost cafeteria services. Amazon's scale & logistics prowess enable them to provide these things at much lower cost than an individual can purchase them for. At some point, these things add up and Amazon becomes a company town. But for many Americans, a company town run by Amazon would be welcome if it ads value to their lives. My guess is this is exactly what Amazon will do.

Its true but only in certain states and only after 14 days of leave. It also appears that this only applies to 'Parental' leave as vesting continues like normal for 'Pregnancy' leave. I guess fathers and adoptive parents are taking a hit but mothers aren't. See [1] for details.

It does look like this setup has the potential to screw over an employee if they have a vesting date in the last 3 weeks of December and take their full 6 weeks of 'Parental' leave as it would shift a vest to the next calendar year thereby artificially inflating the compensation for that next year.

I too pay for some things on an annual basis (e.g. email). I guess never expected my product to be sticky enough for people to want to go annual straightaway. To be very blunt because I'm anonymous, how do I monetize this stickiness to extract maximum value from future customers?

I’ve seen other articles regarding Postgres issues when it comes to scaling. I’ve come to realize that I like MySQL when it comes to performance, but I don’t like it when it comes to semantics and design... hence my attempt to switch to Postgres.

Working mathematician here. Generally I concede.

However I'd like to add that often in mathematics, we are discussing very generic situations. For instance, we are not talking about the radius of some specific circle, which perhaps should be named `wheelRadius`, but about the radius of an arbitrary circle or even an arbitrary number.

I wouldn't really know a better name for an arbitrary number than `x`. The alternative `arbitraryNumber` gets old soon, especially as soon as a second number needs to be considered -- should it be called `arbitraryNumber2`? I'll take `y` over that any day :-)

Also there are contextually dependent but generally adhered to naming conventions which help to quickly gauge the types of the involved objects. For instance, `x` is usually a real number, `z` is a complex number, `C` is a constant, `n` and `m` are natural numbers, `i` is a natural number used as an array index, `f` and `g` are functions, and so on.

My favorite symbol is by the way `よ` which denotes the Yoneda embedding and is slowly catching on. All the other commonly symbols for the Yoneda embedding clashed with other common names. This has been a real nuisance when studying category theory.
There's also a false belief, common among doctors and other medical professionals, that darker skin is thicker/tougher. (to be 100% clear, it only differs from lighter skin in pigment and no other characteristics).
Yeah, a shell is never going to provide isolation. If you want isolation, then snapshot your filesystem, assign it to a VM and run the script there. But this isn't actually useful because:

1. You probably will need network to run whatever script this is. Once you give the script network access, you are open to a whole bunch of issues. Perhaps your ssh private keys leave your system for example.

2. If you don't give it network access, it probably won't do anything malicious. Most of these scripts exist just to download some "thing", install it, maybe run it, and maybe update an RC file. The malicious code might be in the executables downloaded by the script rather than the script itself.

3. Just because a script does something reasonable in a VM doesn't mean it isn't malicious and won't do something else when it is run on bare metal.

In the end, you have to trust whatever software you decide to run (scripts included). How you gain that trust is up to you. I would steer away from gaining that trust by running the script and seeing what happens. Personally, I just rely on the reputation of the source of the software.

Verifying that some script doesn't screw up the configuration of my machine is a different story. I hate it when some script decides to run "pip install" or some other thing that subverts my package manager. Here, taking a snapshot is a reasonable choice.

Need more details to give you a more accurate feedback. How long you have been working/in the industry in general ? It seems like you have done a few things over the years but don't really seem to have stuck to something that made you a specialist or someone worth hiring. Being brutal here but making assumptions. Do you quit a lot ? Do you have any criminal records that you are not aware of ? Are you too opinionated or argumentative in interviews even before understanding more about the team/product/company etc ? Are you that person who "knows everything" ? Lot of factors could be causing you to lose out.

Nice for a bubble to be of a singular nature and moving back to something tangible as opposed to a derivative of a derivative. Maybe I should create an NFT of the deli menu and list a company with the NFT as the only asset.

I'd argue that this happening further indicates to me that the stock market is still a Tulip market, except that we adopted it as a form of capitalism to which we can't exit or reform.

Are you saying that sweating prefusably on an indoor cycling trainer is not a common problem? I must be misunderstanding.

I'd need to have a couple of these absorbant interchangable sweat pads for an hours workout if I wanted this thing to have any chance of staying in place. And cleaning it afterwards would be a must, even so it sounds absolutely grim after a few uses. Plus they are pretty uncomfortable (my experience). I suppose it might be tolerable if I was just lightly spinning through a magical VR world enjoying the views. But I'd rather be using regular Zwift and getting fit.
Fair enough, but then if you’re having to hedge that much against downside risk, it doesn’t feel like insider trading. The whole problem with insider trading is that have special knowledge of which way it’s going to go. At the point where you’re having to protect against the possibility of being so wrong, that doesn’t feel like acting on insider knowledge, and it’s more like “interested outsider” trading.
I see what you're trying to get at ... but unfortunately this is not true.

Yoga is effectively Religion (you could argue 'Spiritual Philosophy').

This is not an 'interpretation' - it's literally an orthodox branch of Hinduism. [1]

Hatha Yoga - a subset - is more physically involved and it's the branch of Yoga we see in Western Yoga studios.

We really can't reduce it to a bunch of poses.

Yes, much of the 'spiritual language' is often removed, but the objective remains the same, which is putting you on the path to enlightenment.

'Calming the mind' is really just the first step of that.

By the way 'Hatha' means 'Force' in Sanksrit, and by 'Force' in this context they mean to force or the journey to Enlightenment by will, as opposed to it coming more passively, or by other practices.

Western studios can avoid using these kinds of ideas and language, but that almost renders it pointless, or maybe worse, paternalistic, in that students are not even told the true nature of what they are being taught, kind of like children.

To someone from India, it must be kind of bizarre seeing all of these Western people participating in something Indians designed for a purpose, whereupon Westerners seem to be kind of ignorant of it all.

> There are thousands of combinations of where to put things to make a clone less obvious

Disagree. This is like saying there are thousands of combinations of where to put doors on a car or volume controls on a phone. There are really only like one or two, and I doubt any of them are like, copyrightable.

These are simple devices with simple features, not a single one which was invented by Arturia.

If I slap an arpeggiator on a midi keyboard, do I have to put the knobs on the right hand side to not infringe on the Keystep? And at that point, can no one else put an arpeggiator in a 25-key midi keyboard because all layout combinations in that form factor are "used up?"

in computer science people can use pseudocode or descriptive variable and function names, and do sometimes, but still often fall back on math notation and Greek letters.

sometimes the terseness, and leaving certain details implicit, does actually add to clarity rather than hurting it. the eye can only take in so much at one time.
I disagree. You can read about the reasons why in this facebook article I wrote where I call you out by name.
Yes, you gave me a link to the video. No, I'm not going to watch a video to find out what your point is, so what you actually gave me is just the title.

Why am I not going to watch it? Well, how long is the video? 5 minutes? 30 minutes? An hour? Two hours? But it took me 30 seconds to read your post here. (I'm hoping that the last paragraph was a summary of the video's argument.) Even if it took you five minutes to write, your five minutes plus my 30 seconds is still a big win compared to a half-hour video.

But we're on a public forum. If 10 people, or 100, have to go watch the video to figure out what your point is, that gets really inefficient. Which is why I yell at people - not just you - about making the readers do the work to figure out what the poster is talking about.

> But duck-typing is better, if only because the argument you already gave: "lets you treat things that aren't from the same class hierarchy as if they are from the same hierarchy".

Right; duck typing is better when you have that problem. But in 25 years of using C++, I have never had that problem. So I'm pushing back on you stating "duck typing is better" like it's a universal. It's not.

> It's a lie that I want something that inherits from my class, I simply want something I can draw() with, but we keep telling that lie all the time...

Sometimes I want more than that. I want something I can draw() that also satisfies the constraints of my class, at which point I do want something that inherits from my class, which makes it not a lie.

Look, this approach has its place. That place is not everywhere, but a more limited set of places. I don't have a problem with people using this approach. I don't have a problem with people teaching others how to use this approach. I have a problem with people talking like this is the one right way. It's not.

One way to approach is that a microdose for you is any dose that has no notable psychoactive effect.

Practically, microdosing is often in the 20 - 100 mg range, and the lower threshold of a 'normal' psychoactive dose would be 600 - 800 mg (depending on the individual, eg. their weight, of course).

The actual workouts are the same stuff you can find for free on Youtube.

There's some gamification where you can see your effort relative to other users during a workout (the "burn bar"). The HIIT workouts (maybe others) come with modifications and they also make a point of giving sign language instructions. The on-screen display basically mirrors the watch workout screen, but it's nice to have it there vs having to look at your watch. Lastly, it's just nice to have a bunch of workouts of consistent quality/intensity + clear instructions and no ads.

Honestly all of these features just solve some minor annoyances with home workouts. But it's hard to get motivated to exercise, and every little friction counts. You don't have to flip through YT to find the right video, the burn bar is more motivating than a simple calorie count, and you can follow the modifications if you get tired/are unable to perform a movement, instead of just giving up.

Lastly, the cost itself can be motivational. I used to pay $200 a month to go to a fancy gym, to lift weights available at any gym. IMO it was worth it because the cost and nice environment helped motivate me to go.
