Which /he thinks/ is antithetical, etc. I don't know any of "the lefts", a group in which I am usually categorised and associate with, that would make an inane blanket statement like "individual’s ills are caused by society".

It's this kind of partisan, divisive talk that makes everything on the Internet so wearying to read and/or engage with.

Simple bank shutdown goes awry, leaving customers without account access
Funny, because I am saying since many years that Europe needs it's own semiconductor production and Silicon Valley.

But no, we must rely on our American friends who not only spy on us, but constantly rip us off, while themselves producing in Chine and Taiean.
The article paints a picture of this as a universal but it's not really true I think. From my experience, in the German Mittelstand, overwork is not seen as a positive. There are a lot of very productive firms, and there's a huge focus on working 9-5, doing your work well, not being distracted, and then going home and having a life. Staying at work till midnight would be seen as not managing time correctly, neglecting family, being overworked, not in good shape, making mistakes and so on.

I don't even think it's necessarily that popular in American culture any more after the sort of financial excesses of the late aughts. The stereotypical banker who is coked up and accidentally destroys the economy isn't really as cool anymore as he was in the 80s
So you're not talking about digital security at all?
> Nice use of “bad words” to describe racial and other slurs by the way. That isn't trivial for the people affected

Are you a yoga teacher? Because WOW!! What a stretch!!
>The marginal cost for a new subscriber is practically zero, so there should be no price increase caused by a shortage.

Yeah, I don't think that that argument works at all. The price does not increase due to "shortage", it increases due to an increase in consumers' willingness to pay. Going by the Netflix example, if Netflix realizes that not too many people will cancel their subscriptions if they were to increase the price by, say, 1 dollar, they would certainly increase the price.

Consumers' WTP is the reason why digital goods are priced differently in different markets. Many digital goods are sold for much cheaper in India compared to developed countries because the Indian market is much more price sensitive. For instance, Netflix costs only about half as much in India as it does in America.
I just plead to my fellow developers to stay well under 80 columns... my largest monitor in a readable font can fit 77 characters wide.
I believe you did. In rvba’s item 2A, he is clear that the issue was addressed, after “an incredible amount of time”. Your reply provides the information that the articles no longer exist on the platform, as if it were a refutation of rvba’s point. This is what I am calling disingenuous, and I think my characterization is warranted.

EDIT: But perhaps I am wrong or confused. Wouldn’t be the first time. In that case, please clarify what, exactly, was the purpose of your citations that began “Those articles aren’t on the Wikipedia:”.
Exactly this. I probably work around ~5-6h/day and people think I work more than 8h/day. I've found a company where I fit very well culturally and technically and can be very very impactful with minimal effort time-wise.

I see other people at FAANG working a lot and grinding for maybe ~30%-50% more pay than me... I'm OK.
No, old processes have very nearly the same capacity the used to, some even more. Several foundries are adding 8” capacity right now.
> good food

Everyone thinks they eat good food.

Food is the number one physical measurable input into our bodies. So it boggles my mind that nutrition isn't the most studied subject, alongside maybe the study of living a fulfilling life.

Changing my eating habits has changed my life for the better. It took kidney stones (not recommended) to get me here. But even my most obese and unhealthy friends like to proudly tell me the "healthy" things their eating, and I don't have the heart or patience to try to tell them anymore.

But if you find what works for your body, food becomes more of a tool for living your best life, and something you'll defend to protect yourself and to continue living that good life, which makes the right choices so much easier.

Now maybe that's not what you need to hear, but I know it's definitely true for some other people that are going to see this.
It's a pretty harrowing thought that given my age (barely still a teen) I may not live another 50 years. Between the mass pollution tainting our world, impending global warming and increased civil unrest, I figure the odds that my animal reaches 70 are not very high.
Slander doesn't apply to your company saying things about itself. Fraud doesn't easily apply to people outside of your country. (Especially if you don't know where they are)
Curious about the yacht pictured in the article. Appears to be owned by the Emir of Qatar.
The HSTS preload checking service doesn't support .onion URLs (not to mention you can only get EV certificates for .onion URLs).

However, Tor onion services cannot be MITM'd by an exit node, because you don't use exit nodes and the connection is end-to-end encrypted (and authenticated -- the URL is also the public key of the hidden service so you'd need their key to spoof the service). So arguably .onion URLs are far harder to attack in this manner than TLS, and the HSTS preload list isn't needed at all to protect .onion URLs.

Yeah, that doesn't say how much of actual consumer spending goes into the goods that are included in the CPI. Even if the CPI were based 100% on non-digital goods, the percentage of purchases that go towards CPI goods could be falling.
Wikipedia is not a primary source. You wouldn’t describe it as a source or cite it. That people don’t know this is one of Wikipedia’s failings.
I dont want Flutter on Linux desktop because it will not integrate well. Flutter apps are almost certainly not going to use DBus, or other Freedesktop standards to fit in well, in the vast majority of cases. This isn't an inherent limitation, it's just that cross-platform apps generally tend to be lowest-common-denominator in nature. (It'll be interesting to see if Canonical/Ubuntu, in their adoption, do buck that trend & integrate well with Freedesktop systems.)

I don't want Flutter apps because it's highly unlikely Flutter apps will visually integrate with my desktop. I can pick GTK and KDE themes, and a good number of apps will fit the look I have picked, but with Flutter, the power & control seems to lie in the app designers hands, not the users.

So I have arguments against Flutter. I also don't like this article's arguments against Flutter. They seem shallow, petty, emotional, & highly non-technical. They seem like pointless griping. I worry the article is giving more credence to Flutter with it's shallow damning than it is dissuading anyone.

They argue that Linux doesn't need another toolkit. This status-quo-ism feels very pro-Cathedral-ism, anti-Bazaar-ism. Free software should be hunting for better ways to do things. There being existing ways to do things is not a good argument against trying for other.

The author argues Google does not have a good reputation maintaining software. They cite Google Glass and Google Play Music as examples. There's a lot of examples of Google ending support for things, true. Glass, I believe, is still sold to enterprises, and had a new hardware edition come out 2 years ago. This is hardly not supported. Google Play Music was migrated to a newer alternative application, and as a user of both, it's been, mostly, pretty decent a transition. In terms of the open source libraries they release on Github, generally they seem to be well supported & long lived. Google Guava has had it's 30th release. There's a vast number of projects that have been well supported for a really long time.

I looked into vending machines many years ago and the overheads were massive. Insurance, maintenance, local government approvals, stocking, supply chain issues, vandalism, and the list goes on and on... it is a business where you must scale. You need to be running a fleet of vending machines to make it worth the hassle. There are some interesting companies tackling some of these issues in the IoT space.
I believe Google just released https://github.com/google/zx. I am looking to refactor some "gnarly" and unreadable bash scripts in JavaScript and wondering what everybody thinks is the best option?

Biggest pain points in my opinion in pure bash is flow control, string manipulation, arrays, and looping.

Besides that, every single of maybe a few dozen times i tried it, it said checksum error after verification. On different systems, with different media. Interestingly there were no errors in reality. I dismissed it as a well meaning toy for dummies. Or maybe data gathering spyware.

Thouroughly unimpressed with it and any project recommending or even insisting on using it.
Funny you mention this, lately I have had a hunch that carbs could be something to eliminate from my diet. I havent been able to do it 100%, but I have kind of a checklist of things in my mind of ways and habits to change. Eating carbs is on there. I may give it a closer look
The problem with recent ransomware is that they get ahold of sensitive data then threaten to leak it if you don’t pay. This is problematic because you can’t be rid of it. Depending on the gravity of the data, if you pay them it’s perfectly plausible for them to show up later and demand another payment or even force you into a perpetual payment system.
Thinking about the cost per calorie of apples versus oats, to pick an example that works for me, I would say the answer is very much yes. And ultimately, from the plant's perspective productivity should be a question of efficiently storing energy.
I didn't say we'd have hyper-inflation. I said we'd have inflation, and the banks are saying that too, btw. What we're seeing now isn't just some seasonal pump, but a huge across the board pump. Of course, if wages also reflect that increase, then there's not much of a problem. But what we're facing today is massive unemployment, and a massive amount of money sitting un-touched in banks, sometimes with negative interest. Negative interest plus more inflation equals less purchasing power for you either way you try to argue. So what we're witnessing now is a massive transfer of wealth. The only thing most normies can hope for, is a higher price on Doge. But yes, if the printing gets out of hand, we'll have hyper-inflation too. Some of these charts are already going exponential.
> If you think someone in a low tax bracket on fixed income has the spare money to invest in anything, you're not understanding the words "low income" or "fixed."

The low fixed income often comes from investment. For example, you save money in 401k, then as you near retirement, you shift investments into safer instruments ie. bonds. The result is exactly low fixed income and vulnerability to inflation.

ref: prepared bankruptcy cases for 2 years
Though I agree with your conclusion, Australia and New Zealand didn't have "hard lockedowns". I live in NSW, we had 5 weeks where we weren't allowed to go to the beach.

Victoria had VERY had lockdown for months. Borders were shut to most states for months as well.

Aukland also had a hard lockdown for a few weeks.

However, there weren't country wide lockdowns, and they didn't last as long as they have in many other places.

At the same time. Speaking to family in the US, it seems the idea of "lockdown" is open to quite a bit of interpretation. My sister was complaining about the lockdown in California, and in the next sentence was telling me how excited she was to go skiing in a few weeks.....how do you go skiing in Colorado during a lockdown in California?
Next up, the real deal: he admits his narcissism and sociopathy.
I have family in the south and have visited a few times in the last 15 years.

A lot of these places have never really recovered since the 2008 crash. You can see many empty half built buildings. Closed nightclubs. Maybe half the businesses open that there used to.

Right before coronavirus many people were investing in fixing up old buildings for AirBnBs. Who knows if they’ll ever get that money back.

Tourism is really all a lot of these places have left. The kids all want to leave for Germany or Australia where they know they can afford to live with an okay job. There’s no work for tradesmen that would have worked on building-related trades.

Graffiti is way more common everywhere than it was 10 years ago. It’s just really really hard to see.
How much of the value is Pacaso capturing here?

The obvious upside to this arrangement is that you can pay 1/8 of the ownership price to have access to a vacation home. There’s another way to get partial access to a vacation home - renting. Pacaso has the advantage of giving you gains from appreciation. But that needs to be compared to the overhead that they are capturing.

It’s worth mentioning that Pacaso is a type of time share. The disadvantage of a time share is that you’re stuck with fixed expenses at a vacation spot you may tire of, and where you might not have access at your preferred dates (unlike a wholly-owned property, or random rentals where you can always find something if you’re willing to pay market rate).

It would be useful to find out how liquid the market is for resale of Pacaso property shares.

Another option is splitting a vacation property with friends or family. It would be easier to ensure that you can access the property on your preferred dates if you’re willing to stay there at the same time as some of your co-owners. You’d also be paying less for management overhead.

It means that in your formula, the (units sold * price per unit) term dominates the profit formula. So, the price is mostly determined by the consumer's willing to pay.
Out of curiosity, what did you change after you experienced kidney stones? What was easy about it? What was difficult?
There's no global reference frame for distance or wealth. You can't point to a spot in space and say "the Earth was here 1000 years ago". All you can say is that A is x meters from B, right now. And likewise you can't compare wealth now with wealth 50 years ago - it's not a coherent concept, when you could buy a house on a blue collar wage, but not a smartphone at any price. What you can do is say that person A is twice as wealthy as person B.
Because 19th century English majors were masquerading as scientists.
I think this is the real point of confusion. It is true, but far from obvious, that radians are the One True Way of measuring angles (for understanding the universe, not necessarily for communicating to human beings). Once you believe in radians, the full angle is tau=2pi, so that is clearly the more fundamental number than pi.

The reason why radians are the One True Way is the power series expansions for trig functions. Measuring the angle in radians makes

e^ix = cos x + i * sin x

work out where

e^t = 1 + t + t^2/2 + t^3/3! + t^4/4! + ...

(Exercise: derive the power series expansion for sin and cos from this)

This formula connects geometry of circles to algebra and calculus in a fundamental way - there is no geometry needed to calculate e^ix, sin, or cos with power series (a computer could do it!), while cos and sin are all about angles and circles.

Measuring angle in anything other than radians makes the formula horrendous (try it).
I like what Syncthing are doing: They just pop open a web browser window for the UI. It's like making an Electron app, except without having to ship an entire browser with your app. I have no idea why it's not more common.
This actually sounds quite a bit like depression. Some inexpensive meds can make a huge difference. I know from experience.
Well the fact that we're complaining from the city means there's trucks in the city that don't belong in the city, not that these things are being used for farming or hauling. My wife's family owned a ranch, I know what a practical truck for farming looks like - it's not what these people are driving. These vehicles are statement vehicles, not work vehicles.
It's all posturing. Why wouldn't it be? Leadership is all about "leveraging great people" right? So it makes sense to keep up the appearance if it means an extra X% output.

And that's not even considering the management of expectations to prevent complaints about income inequality. I mean, you didn't work 80+ hour weeks, so, who are you to complain?

The whole appeal of someone like Alden is that she isn't playing for either team, shes just trying to step back and analyze. And it is a much more useful an interesting perspective on the world than turning every single discussion into team sports politics.

The fact that the parent is one of the more upvoted comments I've ever written seems to indicate that I'm not alone.

A final point is that her publicly listed example portfolio performance seems to indicate the she has an exceptionally solid grasp on reality.

It's a shame that Google doesn't have stricter accessibility requirements on their app store. This should be a basic part of testing any mobile app.
Then pick something else. I binned Gnome after they did all that Apple like dock nonsense and went all Fisher-Price. Today, and for a few years now, I've been running LXDE. I did try KDE for a couple of years (Plasma etc) but we just didn't get on. LXDE does just enough for a quality of life desktop experience.

Also I don't think I even mentioned Gnome. Also isn't Flutter just an app UI toolkit, ala, Electron, Qt etc? Just because there's a Flutter app I want to run doesn't mean I need to change my desktop manager.
Right, but in this case, the smaller size of the company means that it's even more likely that the earlier stat is no longer true.
Ok, bad example.

But still, 'byte' refers to the smallest addressable unit of memory. There's just no point in arguing over its size...
I was clear that I thought you weren't being straight up malicious, but falling into a common honest misunderstanding.

The reason I say listen more is because your responses make clear you have a somewhat superficial understanding of this topic area. You're expressing views on how other people should respond to racism you haven't experienced, and your specific advice on this point is not just unhelpful, but counterproductive. Or said more simply: try to refrain from telling black people what the best response to racism is.

Whether or not you intended that is somewhat besides the point. You have to own your speech as you spoke it.

How do these companies scale down the workload for 4 day a week employees? Estimates in the software field are based on intuition. I could easily see this becoming, "get 5 days of work done in 4 days and get paid less for it" if the people involved aren't used to estimating based on 4 day work weeks.
The section on owner's equivalent rent (OER) is worth finding in the long article: OER accounts for about 1/3 of the CPI. However, when you view OER in light of the housing bubble around 2006, CPI was negligibly affected.

IMHO, it is a large signal that CPI fails to accurately describe consumer inflation for a large segment of the population.

In life satisfaction surveys, your 30’s are the most miserable stressful part of life. Highest amount of responsibilities, lowest amount of consistent reward, and it keeps getting worse until your 40’s

Apparently it gets better again in your late 40’s and early 50’s. By 60 you’re as happy as you were at 20.

That's a general problem caused by "Publish or perish".

Essentially, we've incentivised intellectual wankery.

Contrast this to any field of engineering: intelligibility is selected for by market forces. Obscure, hard to follow stuff is slowly (but surely) weeded out in favour of the clear and simple.

In the more theoretical sciences, that's just not a goal. Quite the contrary: The goal is to make the published papers look impressive. More jargon, more complex equations, fewer diagrams, all help achieve this goal.
I think the real issue is that they pick the home location, so it is not clear if they are picking homes in locations that will experience large price increase or are likely to rent well on airbnb.

Still, don't focus on pacaso specifically, I'm not try to push them. I'm more wondering about collaborative investment in general. Is it new? Are there examples where it has worked well? Would you consider it? Basically, the wealthy have an advantage but why wouldn't that create a market that provides the advantages to the non-wealthy?
I don't. And none of the companies I've ever worked for do either. I guess I'm fortunate. Sure, I've needed to work a little overtime, but I've never had any problem maintaining my work/life balance, and have a pretty good career.
