This seems to be just a recipe for defeatism. It essentially argues that there will always be poor, that anything you do to fix it will just make them poorer. I just don't buy it.

And if its true, then tear the damn system down, because its failing us.

From user experience, I personally don't see a strong benefit of crypto. It always looks like a Ponzi Scheme to me. When early users are people driven by greed than productivity, it is a HUGE problem.
I think GDPR has been pretty great for IT consultancy businesses as well..
Capitalism for all its flaws at least taps into what motivates people to work really hard and encourages it. It mimics nature itself. Some ideas might be mundane but others can be extraordinary, it’s par for the course.

As an example, Capitalism gave us a vaccine to a novel corona-virus within a year. These companies didn’t do it out of good will, they did it because they knew they could make money. Many socialist countries are struggling because it turns out it’s hard to force people to produce innovation without the right incentive structures in place.

If you want to blame anyone blame God for making human nature this way. Capitalism is just the system that is most effective at tapping human psychology to push people to produce the best possible work.
If Brazil followed the French model, and deforested for 500 years, then reforested to 31% over 150 years, would you say Brazil is not in a bad league at all, far from it?
I personally don't like WHR. But it's almost like scholarly communication don't rely on a naive dictionary understanding of words. Happiness here signifies performance within their WELLBYs methodology. Discussing the nuances of the word happiness is getting lost in semantics, as it's meaning in this context is axiomatic to what ever WELLBY signifies. Critiquing their word use instead of their methods is getting lost in the sauce.
It could also mean that they fall under the other extreme of perpetually outdated over-documentation. IMO the only thing worse than no docs are wrong docs.
I've been exclusively contract my entire (15 year+) career. Contractors tend to be money oriented. The simple answer is, pay more.

As a Senior/Lead software engineer, I get paid more contract, for the same work and there's no shortage of it. That's the market reality (in the UK at least).

If a perm position matched what I was making as a contractor, I'd consider it. The hit to the wallet is too great to consider anything else.

If I went perm i'd be looking at a 50% pay decrease after taxes in real-terms.
Fox news is the only "giant" media corporation promoting the conservative side and there are several individuals there that praise Biden. Everything else is left to far left, including our education system and the largest corporations in this country.

So, take your own advice and stop promoting this false narrative that there's negative Biden coverage anywhere near the amount that Trump had. It's absolutely obvious that's not true.
> They have their routines for paying bills and services, it would be very inconvenient to pay ad hoc.

But why?

A bank transfer is fast and trivial to do. Where's the inconvenience? I presume the actual administration work of checking they had money in a budget to pay for the work happened when the work was contracted not at the end.

If you can generate almost infinite energy, what would you gain by invading earth vs, say, consuming resources from an uninhabited planet? Earth makes up a small amount of the mass in our solar system.

But the inverse is also just as likely (fantastical): if you can generate almost infinite amounts of energy, what else is there to do other than troll rando life forms (farmers)?

Both cases do have one thing in common: humans sure do think highly of themselves and the one, small planet they inhabit.
A fast heuristic on the value of crazy ideas would be: a) is the premise of this idea based on the rejection or falsification of an established consensus or convention, and b) does this person (the proponent) survive?

A crazy idea is just betting a majority is wrong. What makes it smart is not about being right, it's that you have figured out how to make money if the consensus is vulnerable or wrong.

Some of the the biggest startups and plays of the last decade were bets against conventions and rich country taboos like letting strangers crash on your couch, driving strangers around in your car, straight women wanting anonymous hookups and the normalization of sex work, non-technical people using cryptography, working class people investing in alterantive assets - let alone understanding what a short squeeze is enough to execute one, watching movies on little laptop screens.

What makes an idea 'crazy' is that it is against one that people align with because the alignment itself means being aligned to power. Most of what people believe, they do so because it works for them, and by works I mean aligns them to what they percieve to be powerful. Most money seems to be made getting short weaker middle class conventions.

A crazy idea is making the call that an emperor has no clothes. I suspect the secret to getting short naked emperors is not so much a track record for upholding convention, but rather, a track record of suviving.
Rich people can buy off media. It is very obvious what is currently happening.
This is the governer who received support for assaulting a reporter while campaigning.
I agree with your stance. I was confused to come here and read that people thought he was referring to Mighty. I think Mighty is a pretty small, easily proven/disproven, not-crazy idea, not-that-new idea, with niche applications. To me that is a bit different than how this article reads. I think the debate is market size. The only real debate I hear with Mighty is whether it is good for <10M people worldwide or >1B people worldwide.
To add to this: almost all EU regulations and rights – except those pertaining to agriculture and fisheries – apply to the whole of the EEA, meaning all of the EU + Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein (in addition, many also apply to Switzerland, but in that case through a complicated set of bilateral Swiss-EU agreements that sorta-kinda emulate EEA membership, but isn't).
The whole SV/VC thing is just a big shallow marketing scheme to get young people buy into bad deals because they are brainwashed into thinking it's the cool thing to do. Have been there, done that, regret it. It took me years of being outside of SV to realize how brainwashed I was by comparing myself to the media and people around me.
> but what Chinese and Russian militaries saw was, "holy shit, US can auto-track a far-away bird from a jet fighter"

I don't really buy that. I don't think some sort of fancy high resolution, possibly AI-driven bird (drone/jet/etc.) tracking is a particularly impressive capability that would have the Russian & Chinese militaries shaking in their shoes.
>Vaccines are available for all Americans 16 and older. I'm not sure when this occurred nationwide, but California made vaccines avaiable to everyone 16 and older since April 15, and other states did so before then.

Despite the vaccine not being available to many people in the UK (people aged 16-40) that a greater percentage of adults in the UK have received at least one dose. Some of that can be attributed to lower rates of vaccine hesitancy, but some of it is surely related to the NHS being better at outreach than the fragmented healthcare system in the US.
GDPR article 3:

> This Regulation applies to the processing of personal data of data subjects who are in the Union by a controller or processor not established in the Union […]

And no, there is no exception for a disclaimer. The only thing you can do to workaround it is to simply not collect the data, which is what some sites have attempted do with geo-blocks on their sites.
There are some nuisances on jurisdiction, but if a company tracks users in Europe they may fall under the purview of European data protection authorities.

There are several factors that play in. For example that the data controller offers the delivery of goods in EU Member States, say a plugin like Disqus. It could also be that they have a .eu top level domain.

The Norwegian DPA also writes this in their advanced notice: "Online tracking using cookies and behavioural advertising are explicitly mentioned as activities which constitute monitoring of behaviour in the EDPB Guidelines on the territorial scope of the GDPR."

I'd guess that if low-end housing were a more profitable segment of the market, then supply would increase, driving down the price.
Napoleon was a bloody dictator, he shouldn't be celebrated by someone supposed to represent the republic like Macron. Did he celebrate the first french republic in September?

No, because he is from/married into the old french bourgeoisie, that's who he represents and works for given his terrible record.
Maybe he had to make his argument into a novel because it isn't good enough to stand up to direct inspection. Deleterious effect of species on small islands are (a) maybe not always present? E.g. kakapo (b) due to factors which needn't be unaddressed in generational ships
> become good at something else - then you'll get a job doing that instead.

I don't understand this. How can someone trust you that you picked up some new skill if you have no experience in it. Do you put it on your resume anyways? How can somone even pickup software sales ( for example) on their own free time.

> I literally LOL'd at this... If you're great at what you're doing, they're keeping you where they are - and "invest in training" could easily mean a 3 day workshop where you find you already know more than the instructor. No thanks.

No didn't mean that kind of investment lol. I meant more like taking a chance on you. I was able to convince my manager to let me work on product marketing and sales even though i was regular backend dev. It was one of the best career moments for me. This would've never happened if i was contractor.
Sure, just as for every company that actually offers competitive payrates there are a dozen who just say they do. But it's not like not caring about management practices magically makes a company good at them either.

You'd be surprised how much of an opinion 'Homosexuality should be legal' is.

It's so much an opinion that a good chunk of the world makes it illegal one way or another : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_by_country_or_terr...

Russia even created new 'anti gay propaganda' laws recently, after allowing gay relations in 1993, so it's not even a 'it takes time to reach this stage' cultural milestone.

But even though I think we can both agree that LGBT rights are a good thing, you have to remember that all the advances that we saw on this front is precisely because LGBT people crossed 'the line' of acceptability of their time.

And they had to fight people that had the exact same kind of reaction against free speech.
"Saying homosexuality should be legal isn’t an opinion, it’s heresy."
Here in Florida many restaurant owners are complaining that no one is coming back.

What even more hilarious is, they are offering $200 sign on bonuses to work in their restaurant. Meanwhile Wawa (a gas station chain) is offering $500 bonus + 1 day PTO when you get your vaccine AND $75 to get your vaccine.

Gee I wonder why someone isn't signing up to a $200 bonus to get paid hopefully $8 an hour after tips!
Nothing has been officially announced but it is something that is being worked on. There is a milestone for it on GitHub https://github.com/gleam-lang/gleam/milestone/17

I expected we'll have an initial offering within the next half year.
Facing the reality I mentioned is the only opinion that matters. From there we can start to talk about building something new. Otherwise, have all the anti-war protests and activism in the last 20-30 years curtailed the US war machine one bit?
One of the things I like about FreeBSD is it has better rusage accounting than Linux. For example, FreeBSD and NetBSD actually fill in the following fields when you call wait4() on a process.

int64_t ru_ixrss; /* shared memory size (integral kb CLK_TCK) */
int64_t ru_idrss; /* unshared data size (integral kb CLK_TCK) */
int64_t ru_isrss; /* unshared stack size (integral kb CLK_TCK) */
int64_t ru_inblock; /* block input operations */
int64_t ru_oublock; /* block output operations */
int64_t ru_nsignals; /* signals received */
int64_t ru_msgsnd; /* IPC messages sent */
int64_t ru_msgrcv; /* IPC messages received */

Linux doesn't give you that information. Since FreeBSD does, it's easier to do something like write a reliable network server that monitors worker behavior.
Because of the salary?
Pros buy new cameras about once a decade. And they don’t like drastic changes in UI. The reluctance to change and infrequent purchase cadence makes supporting the professional market a real bear. I understand that they typically sell their flagship models at a loss, but write the loss off as R&D.

I have to disagree about viewfinders and batteries being inferior. The viewfinder is an acquired taste. If you look at cinematography and movie production, you’d need to search for a long time before you found an optical viewfinder. And I just shot a 12hr production on a single battery, using the highest resolution DSLR on the market. No pro photographer will ever need more than a day of battery life.
I use this as a signal of avoidance: not interested in your varied way to try and manipulate SWE labor and squeeze another once of productivity out or pass off your debt in the form of my time at the cost of my sanity. I know many others that do the very same. Perhaps it's my loss, it's a risk I'm willing to take due to the number of bad apples associated with such practices.
I've always found it weird when countries have big gaps between benefits and minimum wages. It's basically saying "you can only have 2 dollars an hour from us, but you can't have less than 10 from them, hmmm I hope no one cheats on this system...".
I imagine there are several.

American driver education and testing are notoriously lax compared to much of the world; make driver testing more intensive and frequent.

Traffic enforcement is geared more towards municipal income generation and the facilitating of searches and arrests for other crimes than toward ensuring safe driving; stop pulling over poor people to search for drugs and start photographing and billing middle class and rich people for speeding or for idling in the middle/passing lane.

Car manufacturers jack up the price on critical safety features and make it difficult to retrofit them into existing vehicles; regulate them.

Our roadways are often designed poorly, mixing use cases in ways that result in unnecessary injury (e.g., "stroads" and intersections with poor pedestrian design); regulate and fix those.
If you are not able to pay market rates (that match the big tech companies) this is the markets way of saying "you should be denied access to this talent because it can be better utilized elsewhere"

Pay up or go away, stop trying to find the secret to underpaying devs.

How much equity are you keeping? Probably a greedy amount.
So many startups fail because they cant find devs while the founders are trying to keep a Zuck like share of the company based on some 10 year old Fred Wilson blog post.
Oh! Good find. Wasn't quite as graphic as I recall, but I remember that photo of the dying, seemingly terrified child on the sidewalk very well. Glancing through it now I gotta say I'm quite impressed by it. Interesting that they note how the book was "initially intended for adults" in the foreword.
As a counter-point, i've seen engineer-led Scrum and other agile varients work very well. Low stress, high productivity, high predictability.

YMMV, and sadly the norm tends to be bad practice, but it isn't all like that. Companies with good engineering culture do engineering well.

Companies with a poor culture do most things poorly.
You're overstating the strength of network effects, political discussion happens everywhere.
That's not necessarily true, since one country can have higher income disparity and have it to where their "worst off" are living a better life (in terms of living standard / consumption).
> "Hey, I know it's not your main area of competence, but do you reckon you could have a go at this?"

If you're already working in their systems and domain, you probably have a decent idea of how you can address it, even if it's outside your main area of expertise. This happens to me, and... if I'm completely unqualified, I just say "I can't do that, here's someone else who can" and make a referral/connection to someone in my network. That's often the harder part - finding someone in my network who is both competent and available.
If this is widely accepted, would it just be better to describe the exact form of subjective well-being that is studied rather than relying on vague descriptors?

One of my biggest issues with the science community is their lack of discipline when choosing language to describe what they are doing. Exact language is good practice and can eliminate a lot of bias and superstition that is prevalent in the way reality is described.
> the UK made sure to implement a clone of GDPR in UK law before leaving the EU/EEA.

I suggest instead that the UK government have deliberately extracted themselves from the EU's version of GDPR, by cloning it.

The UK is now an external "third country" in terms of EU GDPR, and has a data border with the EU - whereas Norway sits within EU GDPR.
Would you please delete it? I shouldn't have replied in the first place.
Why wouldn't that count as A?
"Norwegian internet users were tracked by Disqus because the company did not know that Norway introduced the common European privacy regulation GDPR in 2018. It thus took 511 days before Norwegians were incorporated into the company's "privacy mode" for GDPR countries and previously collected information was deleted."[0]

It seems that there was some setting that is enabled by default in all other countries than countries with the GDPR law.

Also, from an earlier article:
"The company also claims that they have not shared Norwegians' online visits with anyone other than the parent company Zeta Global. Zeta Global describes itself as a 'data-driven marketing company"' that has information on over two billion identities."[1]

As a Norwegian, it will be interesting following this case.

As one who has been incorporating SpiderMonkey as an engine for malicious JavaScript detection research efforts continually since Firefox 56, this is a big milestone.

No longer have to cut your teeth incognito in making a GUI-less customized Firefox jerry-rigged with numerous instrumentation points … repeatedly for each version.

This is it, researchers; have at it.

Somehow that rather large and affluent market is not dropped.
$600 a week, when some Montana cities (Bozeman) have apartments in the $1,500 a month range, still isn't much to try and live on.
It goes much further than just "often aligning with EU laws":

Almost all EU regulations and rights – except those pertaining to agriculture, fisheries and the customs union – apply to the whole of the EEA, meaning all of the EU + Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein (in addition, many also apply to Switzerland, but in that case through a complicated set of bilateral Swiss-EU agreements that sorta-kinda emulate EEA membership, but isn't).

For all intents and purposes, apart from the three areas stipulated above + voting rights, Norway is an EU member. A business that operates in Norway (outside of the agriculture or fisheries sector) can be seen as operating in the EU. Likewise, Norway-based users of a service with a business presence in the EU are protected by EU laws, like the GDPR.

Norwegians have the same access to the EU labor market as, say, Germans. And EU citizens have the same right to take up residence in Norway and interact with the Norwegian state under the same conditions as a Norwegian.
No, stoicism is more about determinism of outcomes and being free from emotions like anger and jealousy. If you kinda mangle that a bit, I can see how it might sound like reasonable expectations but it’s really not the same thing.

Besides, the Stoics are one group with one philosophy, the chances of them being the “correct” one (if there is such a thing) are nearly nil. So to point at stoics matter of factly in this way doesn’t advance the point, even if the stoics espoused what you’re claiming they espouse.
Except VDI products for enterprise already exist and are much cheaper than Mighty. AWS, Citrix, VMware, and probably others play in this space.
Quality isn’t overly important through the viewfinder. You’re just using it for composition.

Whereas an EVF can fairly accurately show you composition, exposure at current settings, any sort of raster graphic they want on the screen (eg the head silhouette to frame passport shots), etc.

My biggest gripe with the EVF is that it kinda sucks for astrophotography. I have to crank the ISO way up, take a test shot, and then turn it down before a long exposure. Our eyes are just much better at focusing on dim points in the sky.
> ... company riddled with white supremacy and racism

You're taking it to the other extreme. As I understand it, the employee's issue is with Singer's statement “I strongly disagree we live in a white supremacist culture”.

If Singer had just admitted that there is indeed some element of white supremacy, the discussion could have proceed about its extent and how to address it. But by denying it wholesale and trying to quash the discussion, he denied the experience of some of the other attendees, no longer making it comfortable for them to voice their concerns at a company forum.
Get the A73 and you’ll never think about the battery again.

The worst part of the A72 was the battery and the buffer. The A73 made both of those concerns a non-issue.
Thank you I will try.
I think that viewpoint diversity is properly seen as the canary for newsworthy content like this. Not that I have much faith that most see it that way.
It does not, but I also don't see any way that a $750/mo provides a viable path to remove a $1500/mo average (and 150+% of that for many) Social Security payment for people who contributed to FICA over their entire working lives and properly planned on that money as part of their retirement finances.

Morally and politically, I can’t see how to make UBI replace social security. You might be able to make reduced UBI payments to seniors, but at some point you have to ask “what does the U in UBI stand for?”
