If your point of view prevents you from understanding that people need shelter, food, and clothing in order to not die, and must be alive in order to work, then your point of view might not be sufficient.
I think his (gruez's) interpretation is the obviously reasonable one, and I'm not sure why he's getting bashed so severely here. Note that op made the claim that "net pay" was literally negative, which seems to comport totally with the interpretation given, and not at all with an interpretation of "sustainability" referring to a living wage.
You were the one that is adding partisanship to the observation. "Activist" is a non-partisan term and thus the statement should be read as applying equally to pro-life activists as pro-choice activists.
The S54 absolutely had rod bearing issues. There was a recall on the 2001-2003.5 M3s to replace them and BMW switched to 60w oil as part of the remediation. They’re still having issues to this day.

The S54 is also notorious for VANOS issues and cam drive failures. I had to replace the solenoid pack on mine but elected to not upgrade the drive while I was in there.
It's okay to laugh at funny things. But laughing at some things, like people's names, is... Not nice! And people should be nice, no?

I don't think you understand the terms I'm using. Or the history behind these terms. It sounds like you have a bone to pick with somebody, and I'm not interested in being your punching bag.

Social Darwinism is a mostly dead philosophy. There are some radical subgroups who push social Darwinism today, but its well accepted to be a "dead" philosophy and a terrible one at that. Nonetheless, the awful philosophy of Social Darwinism (and "Great Game") was clearly evident throughout the late 1800s and early 1900s. So these philosophies have huge cultural significance to the time period being discussed.

My point, with regards to the original post, is that the "mercantilist peace theory" was overridden by 1900s "Great Game" and "Social Darwinism" philosophies. There were mercantilist peace theorists back then, but they were NOT the ones in power (and they were EXTREMELY wrong about the nature of trade and peace... as the 1910s came about and war broke out between trade partners).
It's not typical in the States. I own a new vehicle, have comprehensive insurance, and pay Geico ~$60/mo. I suspect that someone paying $300 for an old vehicle has either (a) an expensive low-deductible plan, (b) a driving record with past insurance claims, or (c) an expensive old car.

So don't subscribe to the politics channel?

That has not been my experience of these channels in general though. I think it depends greatly on the company culture and the people, code of conduct, and tone set by leadership.
> Many jobs are terrible, I mean no one wants to be a janitor.

I honestly fail to see how janitor is a terrible job -- being in charge of keeping a building in shape, doing the repairs, etc.? That seems like a great job to me.

I'd wager most people would have a problem with the pay rather than the job itself.
Louis explains its a david vs goliath situation, tech companies pay lobbyists to argue against right to repair. Small working repair shops cant afford to travel to these meetings, and not get paid.

This is why the fund raiser, the public needs lobbyists to represent them against the corporate lobbyists.

Its also bad that these companies are funding/donating to politicians to go against the publics interest.
> Then are these network effects worth paying 30% for or not? If yes, you've just conceded the price is fair. If no, then Purism's Librem exists (and will not be bought by Apple).

EU forcing Apple to lower app store fees to 5% or something similar wouldn't remove the network effect though, there is no incentive for EU to allow Apple to extract that fee. Tell me this, what would EU lose by capping App store fees in general? App stores would still operate there, App store companies would still be very profitable, they would just be less of a leech on the economy.

> The same way it gave small railroad companies a chance? Or small oil, or small pharmaceutical, or small telecom?

Regulating those companies greatly reduced their ability to extract money from the market and therefore contributed to the plethora of small companies in other domains we see today. We don't see small companies in oil or pharma since those domains requires scale, which is why we instead of forcing competition force regulations on them to make them do the right thing.

I mean, imagine if we let the oil companies take 30% of GDP as revenue, it would totally ruin the economy and prevent us from progressing as a society. You could argue that those oil companies deserved to get that much money since without them how would we get to work? But, fact is that giving large companies that much money doesn't benefit anyone but their shareholders.
My final artifact is a dmg. I emit it as part of the app build, in my very first CI stage on Mac, and immediately upload for notarization before the build job ends. Then, in parallel to tests, I have a separate job that checks the dmg for common issues, then waits for notarization and staples it.
There's a pretty big difference between running a political discussion forum and having those same political discussions at work, though.

On a political forum, people's main relationship is coming together to talk politics. They sought that out.

At work people's main relationship is to work together. Talking politics becomes messy because it becomes a secondary relationship that can affect the key one, the work one.

It also runs into the messy part of some people at a workplace have authority over others at the workplace. People get really funny about authority sometimes.
I would consider this model "usually incorrect" in that it is quite likely you will eventually want to be able to move an entity to a different parent. I would thereby always give people the advice that one "should" have primary keys for every entity type that are at least global for that local entity type (if not truly global for all entity types, as there is a lot of power doing such) and then implement this child relationship as a unique foreign key constraint, unless you have some very specific functionality or performance requirement that would force primary key conflation (and FWIW, "I want to use this WAL watcher" might count, but it seems like a steep price to pay being unable to do sane reparenting).
Nothing will magically start calling your new function. If you are defining a new function that didn't exist before, then you'll have to actively call it somewhere. What you're describing instead is overriding an inherited function. However, that is full of pitfalls, I would not call that "for free" by any means. There are example of the problems in this very thread. Anyway, that's distinct from polymorphsim, which is present in functional programming.

You may be missing the point that's being made, though. No one is arguing against interfaces, but overriding concrete methods from a concrete class. Those need to be well thought out as extension points for you to have any chance of having stable software. Not quite for free.
Regarding blog post, resources and trailing slashes: we have base tags.
There is some truth to that, but not never. A flush will dislodge any metal shavings and crud from the moving parts. The filter should catch these, but the filters themselves can get clogged, and then bye-bye transmission.

Flushing can really be bad if you've never done a routine flush on a schedule. You don't want to go 150,000 miles before your first one. You would need a garage with a forced flush system to move it all out, and then probably flush again soon after to make sure all the gunk is out.

Transmission oil breaks down with heat and wear like any other, and will eventually contain sludge and dirt.

"The way to keep politics out of work is to keep your work environment professional."

Both yours and the OP are side-stepping the main issue which is 'Identity Politics' -> it cannot be avoided.

It's 'very easy' frankly, to avoid 'Politics and Religion' at the office, frankly, it's normal.

Also fairly easy to avoid 'abortion and gun control'.

But - 'the companies position on BLM' for example, is something that basically hardly be avoided.

An initiative by a few staffers to create a 'Diversity Council' which they control ... well that's not technically political but that's effectively the same thing - it will happen, the company has to take a position.

And of course 'making fun of people's' names' isn't political either. Obviously, it shouldn't be done in a formal setting, but for god's sake if people can't have fun then the world is over. If a bunch of low-level customer service reps are having beers and laughing / venting about a bunch of stuff then obviously nobody should care. (Not that I think they would for the most part).

Companies are now teaching 'diversity sensitivity' and they have to decide whether to go the classical route, or to go with 'CRT' which uses some really inflammatory language about how all White people are guilty of upholding White Supremacy, literally for issues like 'Thanksgiving', 'Focusing on Correct Answers', 'Objectivity' (and I'm not remotely aggrandizing or being hyperbolic here - this is the extent of some of that training). This training in some form has to be given and it reaches beyond just the '2 hours' you get when you start.

So aside from the possibly bone-headed / lack-of-self-awarness moves by the leadership here, the issues cannot be swept under the rug.

Finally, even though 1/3 did take the money, and that is is probably an unhealthy number, it's possible that it's a 'accidentally smart move' by leadership to just avoid the types of people he doesn't want.

I utterly loathe the WeWork leadership - but I have to admit, when they signalled that they will not allow employees to submit invoices for meat - I thought it was brilliant. Machiavellian, unfair, yes - but it was a really smart way to define 'culture', even if they were effectively turning away a large group of people (and quietly suppressing others).

So in the end, 1) we have to navigate the 'politics of diversity' there's no avoiding it and 2) from a Realpolitik perspective, this may not be so completely bad for the company.

> The data clearly shows the vast majority of the restaurant business be a low margin, high risk venture

I think what I was suggesting was that perhaps restaurants as an industry have systematically under-estimated consumers' willingness to pay.

You see this in software pricing discussions a lot, actually: small shops that leave a lot of money on the table by not charging enough. Is it really so crazy to imagine that restaurants might be doing the same thing?

> That must mean a majority of the customers are very price sensitive.

It's this "must" that is always asserted but... I think might not be as true as we assume?

I am not a restaurant owner, so what do I know.
> As is commonly pointed out in these threads, that's likely only around 60% the usage of idle always-on electronics in the US.

Luckily Bitcoin mining is utterly centralized. In fact turning off a single mine in Xinjiang cut power consumption by 1/4-1/2.

> Isn't that a way more obvious low hanging fruit?

No. Is idle device power in the US rising? Some data shows one of the biggest sources of idle power is halogen bulbs being left on which are being replaced with LEDs over time - unlike the exponential rise in BTC power consumption. Not to mention, it requires 400,000,000 people to each act. Killing Bitcoin requires a few people to act. Much easier. And of course, both should be done.

> Human activity uses energy, that's unavoidable.

Yes, much more when we choose intentionally 400,000X less efficient technologies because of idealism or because they're "neat." Living in a society requires we make compromises to ensure our shared survival. Our consumption is the sum of our choices. Time to start making some better ones.

This whataboutism and nihilism is pretty much a guarantee of inaction on all fronts. Step up and do the right thing!
A lot depends on the state, type of coverage, driving history, and which company you use. The average range in Texas is ~$45-165/month depending on coverage[1]. I personally pay a bit over $50/month for a 2010 Honda Accord in California.

I wouldn’t take the costs listed in the parent comment literally.

I've noticed a lot of rather wishful thinking here and on Twitter along the lines of that the people who left are all woke layabouts or whatever and that this is some genius management move. No explanation of how to reconcile these ideas with the fact that so many of these people who left were in leadership positions.
Maybe we need some sort of wage floor or mandatory "minimum"...?
I think we should make every sysadmin watch Mr.Robot, at the least the first season. That may drive home the point: secure backups are important. ;)

The handwritten Y Combinator Codex came to life when I noticed that emacsomancer has created https://gitlab.com/emacsomancer/ycombinator-codex/ [0] - a set of three Lisp functions typeset in a recreation of olde English text.

I have been doing calligraphy as a hobby for more than a decade. Given this fact, I promptly decided that nobody performs historical Lisp typesetting on my watch without consequences, and these consequences happened to become a 42cm x 2.4m calligraphy piece containing the very same Lisp code: the Y combinator along with its two practical applications.

The details about the piece are already on the website; if you have any more questions, then AMA, I guess.

[0] See this link for an ASCII version of the source code of the Y combinator. This code is going to work in any Common Lisp implementation when called like this:

CL-USER> (mapcar #'fib '(1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9))
(1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34)

CL-USER> (mapcar #'fac '(1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9))
(1 2 6 24 120 720 5040 40320 362880)
According to their response, it seems some of the names on the list (according to the founder, something like 6 of the 72) were phonetically funny in English but Asian in origin (as opposed to the rest, which were mostly European and phonetically funny because of suffixing "son" to something that sounded funny). The implication as I understood it, as when this was pointed out as to why while it was an inappropriate list it wasn't necessarily inappropriate in a racial way one of the employees responded by initiated an HR discrimination case against founder, is that the people that saw it as a racial issue are not happy to have it classified as not one.
How did Basecamp fill 1/3 of the company with people they didn't want. That is something they should try to have a lot of introspection on.
My thoughts were just dominating their economy, bankrupting them, then putting Chinese politicians in power to take over a failed state. It'd look more legitimate than Russia annexing Crimea and since it's economic and complicated, the average person wouldn't care meaning minimal media coverage. If a regular person has to read more than a paragraph to full comprehend what happened, it's just not worth worrying about.
Should they also be able to opt out of the font stack Apple licensed, and bring their own free font garbage?

Opt out of the battery controller and encryption libraries, to roll their own for cheap?
Yes, I agree. This is what I said in my original comment.
Restaurant owners aren’t leaving money on the table because they’re charitable people. There’s so many restaurant openings and closings for so many decades that I think it’s a pretty good indicator of their price dynamics.

Software is B2B many times and has efficiencies of scale that restaurants don’t.
Catalytic converters don't reduce greenhouse gases. Their function is to reduce poisonous gases: NO, NO2, O3, CO, HO2, and sometimes HCN and H2CO. The good news is that all of these compounds are thermodynamically unstable so a catalyst can destroy them.

I don't know where you got the 14.7:1 number but I am certain that NOx are unstable at any concentration (at or near STP) and will always be depleted by a catalyst.

Another commenter is unsure whether the NOx or some GHGs should be reduced preferentially. To clarify: CO2 can't be removed, it is stable; only CH4, N2O and O3 can be removed, and they are not present at relevant levels (except ozone which is poisonous) anyway. The poisonous gases are far more important — NOx pollution alone kills thousands of people every year (statistically, considering excess deaths as correlated to air pollution).

The increased price of catalytic converters is partially related to the supply of palladium, which experienced a glut following the collapse of the USSR. The Soviet palladium ran out in 2012:

Choices generally don’t bind others into obligation. Probably why you’re having trouble with uptake.
You seem to believe this specific example where you are literally making up the non public profit margin proves that for the entire class of consumer laptops making non serviceable parts greatly decreases the cost. First it was an hyperbolic 10x and now it decreases costs by half. All examples are not only fictional misuse of both real and hypothetical numbers they say nothing much about the entire class of things.

The M1 is a fresh design on a new iteration of an arch by very smart people and its likely that there are far more factors at play than presence or absence of sockets in terms of determining profitability.

What we are trying to do is determine all things being equal how much cheaper can the same machine be with and without replaceable parts. I don't have any numbers either but I strong doubt its 2-10x cheaper.
I'm leaving a company within the next couple weeks where I get blasted with the social issue firehose daily from the CEO down. I know more about pet social justice initiatives than I do our business plans..

I share their values including the effort to scrub out toxic discussions and individuals by putting the kibosh on certain public discussions in the workplace. Plan on applying as soon as they get their available jobs updated. They will be fine.
It may just be my ignorance, but those should be very rare. The only thing I can think of offhand is some parts of the bootloader, anything else you interact with should have files in the standard config locations.
You know how people avoid being impacted by a business going bankrupt? They don't take jobs there.

Jobs at more stable places are available and people will take them. The businesses need to fail or be sold.
> assuming we do an extra payment toward the principal every once & a while

At the risk of veering into financial advice, paying extra principle early is almost never a good idea. Instead, put that money aside into an investment account and use it to pay off the mortgage once the sum is greater than the balance.

Assuming markets beat your interest rate, you'll have a higher return and you have the emergency fund in case something catastrophic happens. If you pay that to the bank you can't get it back in an emergency, and you will only cut down on the front-loaded interest--which will likely be under market returns.
That wasn't my assertion, but I could tell you my life story, send you a picture of my neighborhood, etc. I want you to believe, brother. You think the CPC made a HN account to post about jQuery 10 years ago just so they could eventually correct your lukewarm takes on Taiwan?

Response to your edit: Is the CPC in the room with you now, chitowneats?
The standard interpretation is that politics became more divisive in the mid-90s...but, imo, that doesn't hold merit.

Clinton worked with Republicans after he lost Congress. Obama worked with
a Republican Congress. And you can go further back and point to someone like McGovern (or Goldwater on the other side) as reactionary/divisive candidates. You had Eisenhower Democrats and the like but there has always been a spectrum in both parties (and that is still the case today i.e. Manchin).

I think two things have changed. One, the media. Politics in the media is different from the practice of politics, the latter largely about compromise. Because of bandwidth of media/politics as entertainment, the fringes of both parties have become more extreme (it has gotten so bad, you wonder whether some politicians know they are actors anymore). Two, diversity. Countries that have diverse populations will always have divisive politics. The US system is the most robust in the world but it is moving towards problem territory (for example, the Democrats seem to have settled on always electing a man and woman for P/VP...this is basically the segregated politics you see in Lebanon or other places with fairly massive political issues, the "our turn to eat" politics is more common to Africa than the developed world).

My impression is heavily coloured by studying American history/politics for a long time. But other people I know just find American politics very weird...it is just very weird, everything is politicised...like Germany pre-Hitler.
Neat! I'd never heard of that. I look forward to the day when it's generally used rather than yet another cool technology wasted on stupid high-frequency trading.
