This says something useful in among the stock nonsense - which is that wealth is not about what you own or how much you can spend, it's about personal freedom.

The interesting corollary is that in a capitalist economy hardly anyone is free. You "win" freedom by buying it. And that's what wealth is really for.

This is why "We're all rich now compared to people two centuries ago" is nonsense. We're not, because the odds are good that we're more or less similarly unfree, especially if we're at the bottom of the heap and working the proverbial two or three jobs. Owning an iPhone doesn't change the fact that our time is almost wholly owned by others.

It's also why it's impossible for a majority of people to be free. Someone has to do the actual work that keeps the lights on and food in the shops. Most people won't do that work voluntarily, so there has to be social leverage - implemented with loss of freedom - to force them into it.

And it has to happen. Passive investing is worthless when there's nothing concrete to invest in. Corporate entrepreneurship is useless if there is no activity to manage, control, and profit from.

The exceptions to this are genuinely creative activity. Invention, innovation (to a smaller extent), and cultural creativity are all individually powerful and can be disproportionately valuable, socially and economically.

Coincidentally, they also attract more than their fair share of parasitic activity which seeks to capture their value for the benefit of others.

But more - some people need to have these differentials in personal power. They lean towards narcissism, and it's important for them to feel more powerful than others.

They will never, ever allow an economic system which doesn't constrain the freedom of those they consider inferior. It doesn't matter if it's run by machines or AI or any other magic technology. It's fundamental to their psychology to keep others in a one-down position, and they experience any threat to this as an unbearable narcissistic wounding.

Inequality is not primarily an economic problem. It's a psychological issue - a public mental health issue, where the point of inequality is to allow unhappy rather damaged people to feel better about themselves.

This is orthogonal to issues of building, researching, inventing, and generally getting shit done collectively. Without narcissistic friction all of those would proceed more quickly and smoothly, with astoundingly positive consequences.

You're quite correct that this is an oversight of ours.

Macros can be de-mystified with proper editor support. In Emacs and Lisp you can (recursively) use "macroexpand" to see what code it produces in-place. I am not an Elixir user (though thinking about hopping on), apparently there is alchemist.el[1] that lets you do that (with caveat, and the project seems dead tbh).

Zig does seem like a closer match to C and so could have been better suited than Rust. It doesn't provide the same safety as Rust, so it's not as big of a payoff, though. Also, it's still fairly new relative to rust.

The kernel project distributes several userspace utilities and new ones of those might be worth writing in Zig.

As I've said in my other post, a penal system that focuses on punishment and not on rehabilitation is not positive for a society, because it doesn't actually help reducing the causes behing crime (and thus stop it from happening), and often degenerates towards being unfair to certain groups and minorities.

Sure, but I think the point here is that given the option to maximize investment in a depreciating asset (buy fancy car) or minimize that investment (buy an inexpensive car) and invest the difference elsewhere, it's better to do the latter.
While I would have agree with that when I was younger. I learned there is a lot of possibilities why PhD students (the guys who do studies) fail to replicate anything (and I am talking about fundamental solid engineering).
That dream was scrapped for parts by Reagan et al. It’s ridiculous to blame the millennials- the first generation (ever?) in the US to be worse off than their predecessors economically.
I make it very simple. you don't work at a startup to maximize the size of your wallet (at least in the short term). straight up. most startups fail. most startups pay below market. you have to value the equity at 0 at all times till its actually worth something and then it simply is a nice (or very nice) bonus.

you only work for a startup if 2 conditions hold

1) the pay is sufficient for your needs (and this is not just in an immediate sense of making ends meet, but also a long term sense of being able to save for future goals / retirement).

2) the job is something you really want to do and you cannot get that experience elsewhere at a more established company.

i.e. if 2 doesn't hold, why would you take less pay than elsewhere?

if 1 doesn't hold, you are making a bad long term financial decision for yourself, by essentially accumulating an actual or virtual debt (need to makeup retirement contributions or other savings) that you will have to pay back in the future.

the #2 point can lead to earning more money in the long term even if the startup fails (i.e. the personal growth can outweigh experience you'd get elsewhere), but this is far from guaranteed. But even then, you shouldn't put yourself in "debt" to do that.

agree!! this page is so helpful
I appreciate the time taken to give a detailed reply, especially from someone with experience living in Japan, and who had once a possibly similar view as I do currently.

That said, as much as you think I've integrated right wing fallacies (assuming the progressive Japanese you've spoken to have spent significant amounts of time living outside of society, something you equated to the right wing label of anti-Japanese) you have also integrated left wing fallacies (pro-{new,futuristic,improved}-Japan" and "pro-{traditional,old,unchanged}-Japan"/that left wing thinking is oppressed in Japan, the country with the largest communist party in the democratic world).

The main argument of people who don't agree with you is that many progressive policies aren't, in fact, creating an "improved" Japan, and are just upholding western values that don't serve them any benefit.

I'm also a vegan socialist, and have spent plenty of weekends hanging with friends who frequent Shinjuku-gyoemmae, if you know what I mean, and have been vocal about all of this to people in Japan, and experienced no push back.

Perhaps I am shielded from critique being non-Japanese myself, but to call Japan a country dominated by Conservatism feels very different from the one I experienced, and seems to me that it only appears that way to the very most demanding progressives who are just as quick to label normal Japanese people as right wing. Everyone against them seems extremist to an extremist, so I have trouble believing your view isn't also deeply oppositely biased and not a clear view of the society.
Pretty much.

Then don’t lend? I’m not sure why you’re getting so triggered. Why are you treating it as a moral obligation that you have to lend? Sure there can be positive social results to certain kinds of lending. If you’re investing for that purpose though (to improve someone’s situation), why are you looking to be punitive and enforce that you get a return? Now maybe you’re not seeing efficacy or maybe you’re primarily motivated by your personal returns. Then invest accordingly. It seems though like you want to hold power over people as a result of lending out money & that to me seems like an unhealthy motivation for everyone involved.

And as for contracts being obeyed, I’m not sure where you ever got that. Contracts can be broken for all sorts of reasons.

As a counter to your “bitch better have my money” perspective. I invest money in startups and they fail. Is it a moral failing on their part or mine that that happened? Sometimes they don’t fail. Is that due to our morals? It’s a bet on an outcome and people. Sometimes the bet doesn’t go my way. Sometimes it does. Why read morals into what is in a lot of ways a game of chance? I’ve also been a landlord & had people try to screw me out of rent checks. Sure that’s shitty of them to do and it frustrates me but everyone has their struggles.

EDIT: And I didn’t shift all blame on lenders. I just said that usury like payday loans should be way more regulated than it is in the US.
If de-globalization continues at its current pace, we'll probably find that a lot more labor is required in the future.

A lot of what we imagine to be automated work is actually just work outsourced to countries with cheaper labor and a container port. In the event that global supply chains becomes unreliable, a wave of on-shoring will follow.

That's interesting. I've just started working for a Canadian startup based in Vancouver and the pay is actually "fair" Canadian market price for someone of my experience level.

Not sure if it's a difference in culture but my small team (a mix of Canadians and Americans) is super respectful of people's personal time. e.g. no texting during after-work hours even with tight and critical deadlines. You're also free to run a personal errand during work as long as you deliver on your tasks at the end of the day. And since it is an interesting work with lots of learning opportunities, a lower pay (compared to an American startup) is a nice trade-off for me if I get a more relaxed work environment. Although I'm sure this is not true of all startups in either country.

I'd love to connect with you and share experiences. Feel free to message me on Discord (Tag in my profile).
Any adversary modern enough to be worth the effort knows what the laws of physics are, and they have a working intelligence apparatus that likely gives them an idea of what our cutting edge technology should be capable of.

No such adversary would likely believe the claim that the US has suddenly developed physics-defying technology thousands of years ahead of what should even be feasible, which they just recently decided to leak like a sieve about. And the only thing the US does with this technology is troll their own military.

If it is a psyop, it's a stupid and obvious one.

Linear Algebra: Theory, Intuition, Code
> While the details are still a bit fuzzy, a far as I can tell from the outside someone on the Freenode staff seems to have used that logo switch as a pretext to try and upset the status quo and seize more power through a bogus narrative about unprecedented corporate intrusion and a logo suddenly appearing in 2021 where one would never be allowed before, likely including kicking out the then head of staff of the actual IRC network, whilst insisting that it was the other side that was trying to seize more control by obstructing them.

This is one possible interpretation. After reading a lot of these self-testimony documents I think that Freenode staffers really never knew how the organization was legally run. They only understood the internal politics of Freenode. When these two authority complexes clashed, it's predictable how disasterous the outcome would be.

That said, I'm still not buying rasengan claims about money spent. Maybe he thinks this money was spent on bettering Freenode, but unless it's money that's spent literally on keeping Freenode online, then it's hard to claim that and get the audience to agree. I think if rasengan really wants to shepherd some FOSS monolith then he need to start producing transparency documents that show exactly how he's funding things and to which organizations that money goes.

My personal reason for using "the cloud" in this specific case is that the OCR results are significantly better.

I think everyone around here knows this and can make their own decisions, if and for what data they use "the cloud".
The exec can invest his excess income into income-generating assets as well, with no problem. In addition, he can use his constant cash flow as collateral to take out a loan to invest in same income generating asset. And the variance for the exec is much lower than for the entrepreneur (failure rate much much higher for startup founders).

So it's not apples and oranges.

The number of things we take for granted in languages, without really noticing them as a native or familiar speaker, is astounding.

I remember being asked by someone who was speaking my native language as his second language. I believe the words he chose were correct, maybe even in the correct form and all, but I simply couldn't understand him due to slight differences in pronunciation and intonation.

Now, I sometimes get asked to explain concepts of my native language (e.g. which endings to choose for a word) and more often than not, my response is "wow, thanks for making me realize what an impossible mess that is - even understanding the grammatical concepts behind this, I have no idea how to reasonably explain this. This is a mess, and nobody should have to learn that language, ever."
You got lucky but most people who graduate during a financial crisis pay for it their whole life. It is harder to get your first job so you get a not so good one and you can easily get stuck in a suboptimal situation for years.
I think it’s worthwhile for researchers/hobbyists to develop toy kernels in Zig. Using it for Linux is just plain irresponsible. The bottom line is that, unlike Rust, Zig is unstable and unsuitable for production software. If real money or human lives depend on the software (as is the case with Linux) the choice of programming language should be somewhat conservative.

It is worth looking at all the serious bugs in deficiencies in the upcoming 0.8 milestone: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/milestone/10

This is not a criticism of Zig, nor is it an insinuation that Zig is unable to write correct software. It is a reflection of that fact that compilers are very complex.

> he got lucky to get accepted to Stuyvesant high school in NYC ... Where would he be in life if the coinflip in the Stuy admission office went the other way and he ended up going to a more normal public school

I'm pretty sure "got lucky" here is kind of a humble brag, like "I'm so lucky to be smart". Stuyvesant admissions are straightforwardly and deterministically based on a test, with spots going to the highest scores. There's no admissions officers considering extracurriculars, or interview or anything like that.

" It seems to me to be equally plain that no business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country." - FDR

TLDR: Minimum wage was never intended to be less than a living wage. If you're working full time and can't afford food, why should the company get away with forcing taxpayers to make up the difference?

Your oversimplification of the issue glosses (intentionally?) over the real issue.

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/14/minimum-wage-workers-cannot-...

>Full-time minimum wage workers cannot afford a two-bedroom rental anywhere in the U.S. and cannot afford a one-bedroom rental in 95% of U.S. counties, according to the National Low Income Housing Coalition’s annual “Out of Reach” report.

>In fact, the average minimum wage worker in the U.S. would need to work almost 97 hours per week to afford a fair market rate two-bedroom and 79 hours per week to afford a one-bedroom, NLIHC calculates. That’s well over two full-time jobs just to be able to afford a two-bedroom rental.

But yes, go on about how thse people need to 'dispense with luxuries' and 'work a second job.'
I would personally add:

- Having informal metrics and dimension definitions: you throw together something quick and dirty and then realize there's something semantically broken about your data definitions or unevenness. For example your Android app and iOS apps report "countries" differently, or they have meaningfully different notions of "active users"

- Not anticipating backfill/restatement needs. Bugs in logging and analytics stacks happen as much as anywhere else, so it's important to plan for backfills. Without a plan, backfills can be major fire drills or impossible.

- Being over-attentive to ratio metrics (CTR, conversion rates) which are typically difficult to diagnose (step 1 figure out whether the numerator or the denominator is the problem). Ratio metrics can be useful to rank N alternatives (eg campaign keywords) but absolute metrics are usually more useful for overall day to day monitoring.

- Overlooking the usefulness of very simple basic alerting. It's common for bugs to cause a metric to go to zero, or to be double counted, or to not be updated with recent data, but often times even these highly obvious problems don't get detected until manual inspection.
