Damn, that is a good point. It'll be very difficult to prove that anyone stalking using AirTags had malicious/illegal intent. Far harder than, say, a purpose-built GPS tracker.
Before you go using Email for everything, check to make sure your audience can actually get your email and that it's not going to spam.

---

10 years ago, I briefly worked for an for a small business that built wordpress plugins. They had an internal message board for communication and, unknown to me, they also used email. It took me six weeks to find out that I had missed hundreds of internal emails, many of which were directed at me. This was due in part to lack of on boarding and mismanagement by my boss (who was also managed the email system).

Now you may ask, why weren't you reading your email, did you not check it? You see, I checked my email religiously, couple of times an hour. But here is what happened.

This company used gmail for domains. And one thing that gmail does is it hides the spam label (or doesn't put a number next to spam). I had assumed, that since I had a brand new email address and that label was either missing or didn't have a counter next to it. I wasn't getting any spam. I was getting some internal email, so I didn't think much of it.

What I didn't know at the time was the internal email addresses were on the same domain as the marketing emails. They did a lot of unsolicited marketing, as such gmail automatically marked their domain as spam. Nearly every single email from the company was going into my spam folder.

Worse nobody said said anything about me missing these emails (including those from the owner/CEO and the CFO). Maybe they said something to my boss, but as he wasn't happy I had been assigned to his group he probably "forgot" to mention it to me. Anyway, I am sure missing several hundred emails was one of the reasons I wasn't retained passed my probationary period.

The big takeaways:

1. Don't do marketing from the same domain as internal email

2. Use a different domain for internal email

3. Always check the spam folder.

4. If you consistently don't hear from someone through email, ask them if they are receiving your email.

> This leaves me with 3950 before taxes, or 2765 after taxes... That doesn't sound so amazing anymore, does it?

Am I missing something? That's €33,000 disposable cash per annum, right? That would actually be pretty damn amazing for plenty of people, including many here.

And let's just put aside the fact that much of what you've listed is not "taxes".
If that actually happens, it will be because one of the shepherds is substantially better at flock management than the others, and their financial success allows them to buy fields from the other shepherds. The other shepherds will only sell their field if the good-flock-manager shepherd makes them an attractive offer (probably enough money such that they can live off the interest for the rest of their life). Not to mention, they very well might get a job working for the good-at-flock-management shepherd, possibly even at a raise since superior profits means there's more wealth to share. (Realistically there will probably be at least 2 sheep conglomerates competing on wages to hire the best shepherds. I'm not an ideologue, I'm cool with the government intervening in the economy a little bit to break up monopolies.)
How do you think scientists get interested in plants in the first place?

I'm a recreational scuba diver, which means that my hobby is to to go underwater and try to see stuff that is neat. Of course I want to see the pretty colorful fishes and sea slugs! No diver spends thousands traveling to far flung destinations to peer at the dull and ugly. Right now I have no scientific purpose, but I bet there is an almost perfect correlation with people who like to scuba dive and go on to be marine researchers.

Thanks, really appreciate it!

Codewell's definitely growing, we have over 600+ registered users, some really supportive paying members, 60+ users on our Slack channel, and people are already posting some really good solutions on Codewell.

I would say yes! We're really looking forward to reaching more developers and helping them in their journey.
FWIW, Metasynth (what RDJ used to create the image) is still alive and well. It's a cool music program unlike any other, and the developers remain dedicated to its continued existence, which is I'm sorry to say not the norm.

> Chapwood Index

This is complete and utter non-sense and engaging some simple math skills shows why:

> But if we take away the outlier 2020 data points, the average real annual GDP growth from 2010-2019 was 2.3%. The inflation rate in that time averaged roughly 1.8% per year.

> If you’re one of the conspiracy people who believe inflation has actually been running at 5-6% per year, that would assume the economy has been contracting by 1-3% per year over the past 10 years.

> And if you’re a full tinfoil hat person who assumes inflation is actually 10-12% per year[fn2], that’s like saying we’ve been in a full-blown depression and the economy has lost 80% of its value.

> This is absurd and patently false but that’s the claim you’re making if you really think inflation is this high.

* https://awealthofcommonsense.com/2021/01/inflation-truthers/

[fn2] is a link to the Chapwood Index.

If inflation is >10% as Chapwood claims, but growth was only 2-3%, then that would mean there was >7% deflation in real terms. If we had really deflation that big the economy would be collapsing à la the Great Depression.

To repeat the key line:

> And if you’re a full tinfoil hat person who assumes inflation is actually 10-12% per year, that’s like saying we’ve been in a full-blown depression and the economy has lost 80% of its value.

The police in the USA are not particularly incentivized to solve small crimes that aren't against large landowners or large employers. They exist to serve the ownership class, primarily, and to generate revenue for the local municipality.

They aren't even legally obligated to protect people or enforce laws.

Technically I don't see an issue with doing these things in a portable, standard way. Email signature and encryption (s/mime) has existed for a long time and most mainstream clients know how to handle it. The nut that has still not been cracked very well AFAIK is how to create and share public keys in a seamless way.

> Moreover, 99% of humans wouldn't even understand the statement, even after you'd explained what you mean by "generative" and "recursive". So I'm not sure what your statement is, other than yet another example of a human giving himself or herself a justification for the belief that humans are superior to animals, achieved through the mental gymnastic of a truism wrapped up in an academic paper.

For a commenter to make that claim, he or she would have to study the bulk of humanity and assess their ability to grasp the concepts.

Moreover, humans have no need whatsoever to understand what generative or recursive language is in order to master the use of language with those properties. This is simply the characteristics of their natural language instinct.

Now if you believe that somehow you have better knowledge about linguistics than everybody in the field, you might try to read what base they provide for their claims, and than maybe try disprove it. Without doing even basic research about the field, claims of astrophysicists can sound way more far fetched.
Victims aren't always blameless, you can be your own victim. Most of the times in my career when I was burnt out and working too much it was because I was too emotionally invested in the work, management didn't care about the quality or improving things. Not caring about things beyond my ability to control has been the biggest change I've ever made to my mental health and was almost entirely under my control.

Others will be in very different situations.
I get really peeved when social networks don't support email notifications for posts/updates, as opposed to just replies: I'd rather manage people's posts in an inbox, where I can pick through at my leisure than in an algorithmic feed. I used to stress about seeing all the updates since the last time I was on a given site.

I don't want to be hired by a manager who thinks it is ok to work someone more than 40 hours a week. I make it very clear that I left consulting firm X because of the unreasonable work expectations and that I have no problem working my standard week and overtime when required. But if the base contract is 40 hours a week don't expect me to work 60+ every week.
Note that the raw identifier syntax is from Rust 2018, not the upcoming edition. Also it's only intended to be used for rare occasions, and even then only temporarily, so it's not a big deal if the syntax is fairly clunky; it just needed to be something that the Rust 2015 parser wouldn't choke on.

Assuming all those condos actually sell and its not just an architectural competition where half the building is sitting unsold because everyone wants their apartment to be in the top half then yes.

Are there unsold apartments? Then no because it means there are too many of those.

Whether egalitarianism exists in non HG societies is a separate question that is not relevant here.

The overwhelming history of humans has been in egalitarian societies. Stating that humans innately prefer a hierarchical society is patently absurd when you look at the millions of years of human evolution where we most definitely weren't. The problem is that the article quotes conservative philosophy as a given scientific fact.

FTFY
This holds a lot of truth. Look at your friends who are miserable in their jobs. Even when they move to a new job they remain miserable. At some point it becomes clear that some people are just always miserable. Burnout is a natural result of their personality. For many, proper mental health treatment can reverse the tide and allow them to live happy lives while working.
Also, expect to have very strange windows. Of course, if visible light can pass through, that might be considered a flaw in your faraday cage so YMMV.

Personally, I'd like it if my devices knew what room I was in. Back in 2013, I'd started working on a home automation project with that goal in mind, but then all these closed source devices came out that were incredibly cheap and convenient and I haven't revisited the idea since.

I do look back with a bit of regret that more hasn't been done to push for reverse engineering these devices or somehow encouraging companies to open source their routers to support third-party operating systems, etc. We take for granted that we've open source smartphones and standard PC specifications when we don't yet have a standard that could let me run YouTube TV on my Echo Show 8, for example, or add lossless FLAC playback to my smart speaker...

I don't understand this mentality. I can run an 8 year old version of nginx just fine. Why would it stop working?
What is the difference in methodology between “hedonic” and “cost based” adjustments? The site doesn’t say.

For all intents and purposes (i.e. going by the Wikipedia/intro to macroeconomics definition), any form of accounting for changing quality of goods in inflation indices is a “hedonic adjustment.” The BLS distinguishing between “hedonic adjustments” and “cost based adjustments” (the latter of which they do not define) seems to be something specific to them. And the PDF actually describing their methodology for adjusting car prices sure reads like textbook hedonic adjustment to me.

Although significant, unfortunately I don't think 4% of revenue means as much as it should to Facebook specifically.

Facebook has a distinctly high profit ratio (2020 Facebook revenue was $85 billion, net income $29 billion), so 4% of revenue means a lot less to Facebook than other companies that GDPR restrains. 4% of their revenue is $3.4 billion which is 11% of their net income.

And the potential negative impact of Facebook's negligence in data handling is distinctly greater than other companies, Facebook collects far more data than most other companies and has access to far more personal data. They have somehow managed to convince a huge portion of the world's population to share a significant tap of data into their lives.
This is an obvious and simple explanation yes but I think it’s only part of the story. CPI numbers are brought down by considering a lot of non-essential goods while almost everything you actually need — food, shelter, healthcare in particular has gotten considerably more expensive. So the sentiment is exacerbated by the fact that nobody really cares whether TVs etc are getting cheaper in their day to day lives.
That's not the right question to ask.

The right questions to ask are:

Q1: What are the financial rewards to solve climate change?

Q2: What are the social rewards in terms of status to solve climate change and who is best positioned to get it?

A1: Financial rewards are very slim because margins are very slim. You have to build stuff for real, it can't be solved via software...building real stuff is a disgusting business to be in.

A2: Given that the business is disgusting at least can you get some status out of it? Musk managed to do so up until today, but now the heavyweights are coming (POTUS, VP, Central Bankers, UN, EU commissioners, Prime Ministers all around the world).

These people (unlike Musk) have much better social competence and amazing speaking capabilities. They will outframe Musk just like JFK and Neil Armstorng outframed whoever was the director of the Apollo program. As they do that the narrative which enabled him to be the world savior and have his stock appreciate would simply go away.

He'd be left with a low margin business and no glory, my guess is that Neuralink is his parachute to stay relevant financially and socially. There the margins are software tier and the heavyweights haven't arrived to that social arena yet.

If you’re working for a company where remote work is a negotiation, I say it’s a good sign that you should seek greener pastures.
One usage of it that I find particularly annoying is in answer to questions. For instance:

"Where did you go to lunch?"

"So, we headed downtown..."

I think it's aggravating because it feels evasive, as if the person is pretending they're not answering a question and are instead just starting a new story.
I am a SWE with ~10yr experience (and no degree) and can't seem to find any of these jobs. For most of the country this is far above average.

I have several friends on Find My; it's just much easier when someone is driving or biking than texting them/knowing if they got home safely. Plus, who cares if my good friend knows where I am at any time? If I didn't want them to, I'd just disable the location. Imo, nobody is looking at my location constantly, and the convenience is worth it.

This isn't to say I'd allow this with anyone, or that everyone should do this—far from it—but it's a convenient tradeoff in this case, at least, for my friends.

Mars air pressure is really low; I don't think building in canyons would have much benefit if you're concerned about reducing the stress of air pressure on the habitat. Building low relative to the surrounding ground though might have benefits related to radiation shielding, though.

The way I usually picture Mars settlements being made is either finding an existing lava tube and creating an airtight seal on the interior, or digging a hole in the ground, erecting a dome (possibly out of blocks made on-site from local materials), and then burying it in dirt. The dome acts as a compressive structure, and you can inflate a habitat on the inside like blowing up a balloon. Either way, people live underground for the benefit of radiation shielding. And either way, the airtight seal of the habitat has something solid for all that air pressure to press against.

Have you considered partnering with programs like QuestBridge? Their scholarship changed my life. They also offered a junior-year mentorship program with a college admissions newsletter and a complimentary essay-review. I think there's a chance here to collaborate in 9th, 10th, and 11th grade.

Also, are there any plans to offer non-English services? A lot of recent immigrant families would benefit from tutors who are bilingual in their language.
