Good for Chipotle for demonstrating actual leadership.

If anyone here is a fan of the tv show The West Wing, I always like the quote

You are so fond of calling yourselves the "leaders of the free world." So, lead.

I feel companies often so enjoy calling themselves and being called leaders in their industry but they forget to actually lead and demonstrate leadership

It's also passive. Someone could stand outside your house or factory with their device and "illuminate" activity inside the building. Only EMF shielding in/on the walls could block them. Nation-state regulators could get involved, since these devices would be using spectrum that belongs to the public.

The EU courts could go after any assets/companies associated with Facebook operating in the EU and basically dissolve them as bankrupt if they fail to pay their increasing fines.

Another venue is to go directly after Facebooks European customers and make it illegal for any company to pay Facebook for ads targeting European customers.

In the end this would force Facebook to abandon Europe and lead to local competitors taking over that market weakening Facebooks network effects in non-US markets.

this is an escalation and delaying game and so far facebook is banking on some political saving grace that probably wont come as well privacy is considered an human rights by European courts and not something an simple short term political majority can simply erase because it's convenient for some US megacorp.
I think he is asserting that the CPI is manipulated to the downside. Trying to refute his point with CPI numbers is like quoting Bible verses to an atheist.

They have tried to introduce this practice to European countries several times. People just refused to accept that the real price is something else than advertised.

In game theoretic terms - If you feel like the only leverage you have over your opponent is about to be obviated by some other approach (i.e. domestic chip fabrication becomes dominant within the decade), then there could be some increase in tensions.

My implication here being that China is aware that they are capable of making an unstoppable strike against all TSMC's leading edge fabrication capacity, and that this action would be far more harmful to the strategic positioning of the US than to any other nation on earth. The ability to execute this option is time-limited by the US wishing to grow domestic capacity.

Whether this implication holds in reality is something I am very much open to suggestion on. I am fully aware that the US military's response to such an action is probably the leading reason it is not something we have seen occur already. I am also unsure if the impact of all 7nm node loss is substantially greater for the US vs any other country.
> If so, is a person's moral code something they choose to enrol in, or is it something given from above e.g. by a god, without choice of an individual, in your understanding?

Some people believe that their moral code is given to them by god, some try to base their moral code on logic, some people integrate the code held in their society and don't think about it very much.

> What do you mean by "unnatural"? Can you give examples for

humans - I'm not sure what do you mean by that. It is natural for humans to have their behavior influenced by moral causes. It is unnatural for humans to have no moral code, I guess, or to consistently behave in a way that is not influenced by any moral code.

poodles - I guess it will be unnatural for a poodle to refuse a treat in reward for something that another poodle did, on the basis that the treat should be given to the other poodle.

jackals - It will probably be unnatural for a jackal to hunt an healthy creature instead of a sick one, just because the sick one is a parent who tends to young ones, even if he could do so with a little bit more effort.

I note that the student sign-up uses zip-code to try and classify low-income students. I live in the low-income part of a rich city (Menlo Park), and the whole city just has one zip code. This would exclude a lot of the low-income students who live in my neighborhood. I used to be a volunteer tutor with the local boys and girls clubs of America (bgca.org) chapter and the students who would attend there were exactly the demographic you’re targeting. I know you partner with some schools, but you might want to also consider using organizations like bgca as an alternative way of identifying these kids. You probably don’t want to go to the schools in this area and have them stigmatize the low income students by presenting the app as being just “for the poor kids”

I remember using email in an IM-like fashion, having a real-time back and forth conversation. The only difference is that most email clients quote the entire conversation on every reply.

A lightweight client could have an IM-like interface that does not quote the original message on replies. Who cares if it's SMTP under the covers, the whole experience could feel quite IM-like and it would have all the other benefits of email (not being locked in to a specific provider being the main one).
No, that sounds about right - maybe you are looking at a different kind of life insurance.

I have never seen anything like this in manufacturing. Steel prices are double if you can find it at all. Plastic molders are operating under force majeure due to TX weather a few months back. Electronic assembly parts are in short supply and some, such as STM32 processors are almost impossible to find (such as variant for brushless controllers). One wire forming vendor we have worked with for over 20yrs cancelled our POs and said they can't even discuss when they might be able to work with us again because they don't have labour or raw materials.

The damage being done in manufacturing right now dwarfs anything from last year.
TRIGGER WARNING

I felt a peculiar chill down my spine the day I learned about Roko's Basilisk and Information Hazards: there must exist some thought/concept/idea that just learning about it puts your life in danger.

"[T]he founder of LessWrong, Eliezer Yudkowsky [...] reacted with horror. [...] Yudkowsky said that Roko had already given nightmares to several LessWrong users and had brought them to the point of breakdown. Yudkowsky ended up deleting the thread completely, thus assuring that Roko’s Basilisk would become the stuff of legend. It was a thought experiment so dangerous that merely thinking about it was hazardous not only to your mental health, but to your very fate."

https://slate.com/technology/2014/07/rokos-basilisk-the-most...

To be honest I'm not sure I understand this one exactly, but given the definition of <information hazard> I'm not sure I want to go deeper than this comment ever again.

You don't become homeless when you can't afford to buy a house. You become homeless when you can't afford rent (or your regular fixed-rate mortgage payment).

Rent is largely divorced [1] from house prices, and is largely driven by the amount of money people have after they get their paycheck, and subtract bills, gas and groceries from it. In a tight market, your landlord will take everything that's left from you. In a loose market, your landlord will only be able to charge you maintenance + his mortgage interest payments.

The best way to create a lot of homeless people really quickly is to have renters stop going to work, causing them to miss rent payments. The various stimulus and unemployment benefits cause some amount of main street inflation (increases in the cost of a basket of goods), but have also kept people in their apartments.

[1] Home prices in many metro areas are skyrocketing at the moment, but rents are falling.
I emotionally agree as you are correct and it is infuriating, but on the other hand it is the responsibility of the federal government to protect (subsidize, trade policy), and regulate domestic production of vital goods. Companies exported manufacturing because the government, elected by its citizens, did nothing to stop them. On some level it is very much the tax payer responsible for recalibrating the imbalance even if they aren’t to blame.

So far most of businesses that are incentivized to accept crypto do it through a middleman and all the privacy is ruined. So even if they're equally likely, I think the legislative path would work better, in part because the average person doesn't have to understand and act on nearly as much nuance.

Also I like a lot of the mechanisms that credit and debit cards have like dispute resolution. I would like to continue to get those benefits, even in a world with easy cryptocurrency support. So privacy legislation would protect me more universally. Especially if I'm buying something to send to my address, where all the cryptography in the world doesn't help. Or if a store tracks who I am even if I'm paying with cash.

I always wonder how this sort of situation can happen. I kind of can understand it a little bit within a family, but how do you ask a friend if you can track them 24/7 without sounding like a giant creep?

At least here in Germany I would imagine that the only answer to a question like that would be "do you want to resurrect the stasi?".

> It's more useful to know when someone is X minutes away

Usually a quick message is enough for something like this.
I would imagine you do so indirectly -- you threaten the income sources (e.g. federal funding to the departments/tax allocation, or killing loopholes), the politics (you publicly advocate for the other guy, or lobby against their prioritized initiatives), or the system itself (advocate for new laws/rulings/governing bodies that would make their lives more painful/goals more difficult to achieve)

It's the presidency -- just playing favorites carries a lot of weight. Or even threatening to cockblock anything they're looking to do for the next 8 years, by swinging party support.
Well, the problem here is that there's no easy way to prevent false positives otherwise. Imagine if you leave your phone at home but take your keys with an AirTag to go shopping using public transportation. Everyone on the bus or the train will be getting notifications about an AirTag that is following them. Same if you lost an item with an AirTag in that bus or train even if you had your phone with you when you boarded it in the first place.

That's why the alert only pops up when you get to a known location (home/office).

As for Android, I wonder if an app could be made for phones equipped with UWB radios that alerts you if a tag is always in close proximity, just based on the tags radio activity.
The U.S. BLS differentiates between "hedonic" and other quality adjustments:

https://www.bls.gov/cpi/quality-adjustment/questions-and-ans...

3. What items in the CPI are hedonically adjusted?

The CPI uses hedonic quality adjustments in item categories that tend to experience a high degree of quality change either due to seasonal changes, as in apparel items, or because of innovative improvements and technological changes, as in consumer appliances and electronics.

New and used car purchases (TA011 and TA021) use "Cost based adjustments"

Well I think point was to avoid gap in resume`. How are we to know that hiring manager take it negatively? Honestly I would have thought hiring manager will appreciate the fact that I spoke real reason for leaving last job.

Maybe they could just check on specific skills they are looking to hire for. They can check if one is reasonably updated on recent industry/technology trends.

But if hiring folks are really hell bent on finding real reason on why I left the job and not working for last few years, I guess there is no practical way to escape out of it.
Not sure why we should particularly care what a hiring manager thinks?

What do you think?
> Presumably because they feel it’s not worth the downsides of working remotely.

I've worked remotely for several employers and clients, and they all seem to hire domestically. A few had stories about their experiences with hiring foreign remote workers, and they came to to the conclusions that doing so isn't always worth the labor discounts versus just hiring domestically.

I don't think remote work is the issue here for workers in the US, because the same employers have no problem underpaying visa workers who live in the US that can't complain because getting fired means being deported.
A workplace like this has become harder and harder to find over the years, in my experience. The measuring and routinisation of everything you do sucks the life out of jobs, imho. Even programming, which used to be such a creative experience now is do Jira, do next Jira, how fast are you doing the Jira's.

Edit:

For example, first job I just looked at

Hungry, humble and smart..."

What other profession says nonsense like this, imagine saying this to a doctor or accountant.

I replied to your other comment about Shadowstats, but will basically repeat the post:

They simply take the official BLS and add a constant. They say so themselves:

> Responding to prior criticisms made by economist James Hamilton, John Williams explained in a private phone call that Shadowstats does not actually recalculate BLS data, rather, the Shadowstats CPI merely adds a constant to the officially reported numbers.[25]

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadowstats.com

The number at that site will always be higher than the BLS number because the people who run that site simply think it should be higher so they make it higher in an arbitrary fashion. They publish no methodology to recreate their number or say why the x they add was chosen.

If you look at the graph their number and the official BLS number is always different by the exact same amount. And has been for years.

Whereas if you want to examine what BLS is doing you can download code:

There were 2 important adjectives before open.
Revolts by the have-nots are pretty common in world history. Revolts by the have-nots where they actually succeed in displacing the haves are rare; I can only think of the French and Russian revolutions. Revolts where everybody suddenly has enough without creating new classes of haves and have-nots are unheard of.

Most revolts end up with poor people killing other poor people, or at "best", everybody killing everybody. When "money" (distinct from wealth) ceases to have the backing of state violence, it's replaced by private violence, backed by other forms of wealth.

Great question — the main selling point for Codewell is the quality of the templates. Free or paid, the templates will be made by experienced designers, so people can expect high quality templates.

Think full-fledged projects (i.e. a template with a landing page, onboarding experience, dashboard, etc).

There's so much we have in mind that we want to implement in Codewell to make beginner developer's lives easier, but this is just the start and we're continuously looking for feedback to help us achieve that.

All in all, though, we don't see it as a bad thing that there are similar services out there, in fact, the more, the better for beginner devs!
What about secure and encrypted, which I feel are even more important adjectives?
Thanks a lot, really appreciate it! Looking forward to seeing you on Twitter and Codewell :)

To be surprised that Apple uses "their" network of devices to provide services to their users shouldn't be surprising.
