> The dumb network won.

If the network was actually dumb perhaps we wouldn't have as many issues with routers fiddling with TCP as the GP described.

If was really, really dumb perhaps we could have managed to deploy SCTP and DCCP.

I wonder how much NAT interferes with new protocols, and if 'simple' stateful inspection with IPv6 would (have) made thing easier.

> men die 11-18x more than women in all Western countries

Firstly, your numbers are meaningless without context (we all die eh!?)

More importantly, work might be a small factor but other factors are believed to be more important.

From https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20151001-why-women-live-l... are two points:

Firstly, testosterone has been implicated as the cause: “A few [institutionalised men] were forcibly castrated as part of their ‘treatment’. Like the Korean eunuchs, they too lived for longer than the average inmate – but only if they had been sterilised before the age of 15.”

Secondly: “female chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, and gibbons also consistently outlive the males of the group”.

Additionally, I have read that women having XX chromosomes and either one or the other X chromosome is active in each cell (a kind of chimerism) which has been though to provide more resiliency.

Edited: made writing clearer.
I think the idea isn’t that it was a net transfer from individual working-class people to the capital class, but rather a net transfer from city/state/country treasuries to the capital class.

How much of that translates to the rich getting richer, depends on what proportion of those treasuries’ funds originally came from taxes on the rich, vs. taxes on everyone else.
I'm an American and I love smiling at strangers and receiving a genuine smile in return. It's the perfect minimal conversation: no words, just sharing a moment of mutual positivity and kinship. It's like you said the perfect thing, except you didn't have to think of anything clever.

It sounds as though people in some countries interpret it as if the smiling person is on the inside of a joke and you're on the outside, or even the object of ridicule. As if the default is hostile intent. It sounds like a terrible thing to assume about your fellow stranger, to be honest.

Maybe the point is that if you start off assuming maximum hostility, the reality is more likely to be a pleasant surprise?

At any rate, we have common ground when it comes to those meaningless questions. They're hollow and they ruin the perfection of a nice wordless smile or simple "hi" or "hey". The absolute worst is when you pass a stranger and say "hi" and they respond to your back as they walk off into the distance, "hey, how ya doin?"

Arguably, it would've been a much better system if the Netherlands just... paid people directly regardless of who they worked for at the time, so employers didn't need to worry about paying employees while they couldn't do normal business.

When I reached the entry level wealth and cap gains started to dominate in my income, I realized one thing: there are two types of money, one for the poor (dollars) and one for the rich (stocks, assets). The gov keeps deflating dollars and thanks to complicated behind the scenes mechanics, that wealth gets transferred to assets that magically appreciate in value. When a recession hits, the gov evacuates the assets and leaves the dollars to their own devices. The poor can't get off the dollars because they have to spend everything they earn - another intentional arrangement in our economy. Moreover, cap gains aren't taxed. Only when you sell a small bit of them (or better: take a low interest loan), that small bit is taxed at laughable 20%. That's welfare for the rich. There's really no reason why cap gains (all gains, not just realized ones) can't be taxed at a progressive rate, as if it was income.

those relatively useful (at least in the cases where it wasn't abused/cheated) programs is a minor part and basically a window dressing of that multi trillion transfer of wealth to the rich.

Binary logic is usually composed of analog amplifiers designed to quickly hit some upper limit and saturate. In the off state, little power is dissipated, because current flow is tiny. In the on state, little power is dissipated, because resistance is low. In between, the "linear region", is where heat is generated. The goal is usually to spend as little time in the linear region as possible.
I’d suspect not very many. Filing the TPS report by some made up arbitrary deadline, forcing the victims to work overtime so that a middle manager somewhere can feel important is very unlikely to save a life.

When you think about it, most of the work most people do is utterly inconsequential and doesn’t matter much if at all. And even when it does, it’s really not so critical that the world will end if it’s a week or two late, making most overwork useless.
Gee, I dunno, those extra 200 smartphones and 40 app features that will end up as trash and forgotten a year later sure saved a lot of people.

Most of this overwork is for bullshit, mundane reasons that aren't even worth a rat's life.
Weird. In my state, there are laws, not just departmental rules.

It’s pretty likely we care about women. The modern ad campaign testify a lot of this behavior.

There was a woman who did immense progress for the miners and factory workers, organizing demonstrations and strikes. But she had never had success trying to attract attention of the number of limbs lost or lives lost. No-one cared than men were severing their bodies at work and living disabled. Then she stated wording it this way:

“When a man dies at work, it’s a WIFE and little CHILDREN who can’t eat.”

Then men started improving safety.
Absolutely agree that all naming can go out of date. With at least the tools I use nowadays it's even easier for comments to go out of date that it was previously because of all the automatic folding away in the IDE.

But one of the best reminders that comments don't do sh+t was early on in my career when my co worker asked me a question on a line of code (and it was literally just the two of us working on that code base). I probably had a very weird look on my face. I simply pointed to the line above the one he asked about. He read the comment and said "thank you".

I guess my point is that all you can do is to incorporate the "extra information" as closely as possible to the actual code, so that it's less likely to just be ignored/not seen. Thus incorporating it into the variable and function aiming itself is the closest you will get and as per your example (and my own experience as well) it can still happen. Nothing but rigorous code review practices and co workers that care will help with this.

But I think we can all agree (or I hope so at least) that it's better to have your function called `findAllDependents` and be slightly out of date than to have it called `function137` with a big comment on top that explains in 5 lines that it finds the list of all dependents.

Would like to emphasize this. They’re some great tools that manage knowledge extremely well (including Innos). But now I’d like to see more work on the knowledge’s deployment into the user’s life — a tool to help make it actionable (in conversation for example) without having to boot up the library every time.

I see that Innos has a programming feature which I think is a good step. But more features that specifically help the recall of knowledge would be awesome.
Yes I understand it’s a hard problem but swarms of drones that threaten the USA, will be fought with swarms of American drones right? You can launch drones from the carriers searching for potential launch points etc.

Commercial satellite picked up an f15 banking in Gaza recently, so the ability to imagine and scan in near real-time the land and sea around carrier strike groups and other valuable assets and locations seems likely.

Other way to think about the costs are a 1 million dollar missile that takes out a $5000 rocket that’s being used to threaten billions of dollars of ships, thousands of lives, a potential ecological disaster if one sinks, and the ships are defending or “liberating” billions or trillions of dollars in resources and shipping.
I’d love to play with one but I’m curious why they decided to invest hardware over eye location tracking via camera - as that’s ultimately the way this technology will evolve

That makes sense. My main context for comparison is US vs PL, and there's a largish difference between strangers and in public or service people and a much smaller difference with friends and family. If you start talking to a stranger in the grocery store in the US because you were both reaching for the same milk you might get a very big smile. I would never expect such an exaggerated reaction in PL, just a small nod or pardon me.

Also, service people are not supposed to be fake smiling, we are actually expecting their emotional labor on top of the labor of their job. They are supposed to be cheering us up with their genuinely good attitude and "changing someone's day for the better" with their smile. It's all pretty exhausting.
No because it just increases the price of stocks and real estate, while maintaining their value, while your cash deposit stays the same.
Deterministic memory deallocation makes it harder to reason about not just “easy” code, but also linked structures and lock-free algorithms (actually it is a substantial implementation obstacle for the latter). It must offset these costs by providing predictable latency or low memory footprint. Most applications don’t require either.
"On a long enough time line", like infinity?

Certainly under any and all finite time periods, the rates would differ.
if you gather a group of people with financial independence, and try to bootstrap and never sell a new reservation platform, you can make it happen in about a decade. The trick is to never bloat budgets and staff, and to stay away from KPI - your goal is to take over regions by dumping prices and providing near-zero commissions on bookings from your platform for as many hotels as you can handle. You can handle this strategy among a team of financially independent members who are interested in the field rather than quick buck. It's hardly possible if you're seeking VC money.
If the reason for the rule is to avoid the submitter pushing through their viewpoint, this particular case shouldn’t be a problem. The “Y Combinator” part is a reason why it’s relevant to this site, and it’s not a viewpoint.
I remember it was mentioned in the gervais principle book: when an organization approaches its final stage, the top brass collects anything of value and jumps the ship, leaving the clueless staff. These recessions are a lot like this value extraction phase.
Yep. Basically whoever gets the free money first get to buy / invest before anyone else even realizes the money supply has been diluted.

The way money is printed and given directly to the rich via the financial industry needs to stop. If the money supply needs to be increased every year it should be done by giving it directly to the masses via UBI or similar.

I'm starting to have the opinion we've been getting scammed with hidden inflation since the 80s.

Smiling and being entertaining are not correlated (personal experience after a few decades of being alive). There are few everyday situations worse than being welcomed by a smile which looks fake one mile out. A genuine smile is not an every-second gesture.
I rented the shittiest room in a shittiest shared house possible, so I could use some of the living allowance part of my financial aid for buying food. One summer the financial aid was a couple of weeks late, so I basically had to stretch what non-perishable food I had left until the money arrived.

When that check finally materialized in my account, I ran out to Pizza Boli's and ate two big cheese calzones in one sitting. I still love calzones.

Not sure how to interpret this. In the 1800's, a 12-hour shift 6 days a week was normal. Life expectancy wasn't much different (except child mortality of course).

Have to think its our attitude toward work that is part of the problem? Now, I don't endorse 12-hour days. But it seems that 60-hour weeks aren't the whole story, if 72-hour weeks used to be the norm.

NIST actually recommends allowing users to paste exactly for this reason:

> Verifiers SHOULD permit claimants to use “paste” functionality when entering a memorized secret. This facilitates the use of password managers, which are widely used and in many cases increase the likelihood that users will choose stronger memorized secrets.

I use the "Don't Fuck With Paste" add on for Chrome/Firefox, which mostly works well.

While I'm hit heavily by nostalgia looking at this UI and I actually appreciate the simplicity and utility of it, I think it would've been nice to bring it in the 21-st century by making it vector-based and scalable, so it works on modern displays. Gone are the days when all displays had the same DPI around 100, and we could craft things out of single pixel bevels.

We just need good, legible displays. And modern tech delivers. But the software needs to match.

> My understanding of life as a young professional in China or Korea is that the competition is almost unbelievable to someone from North America.

South Korea and China competition is "working harder". In the US it's all about "working smarter"

Also with all due respect for South Korea and China...very risk averse.

The big jumps happen when you take a risk and beat the odds, not the endless grinding which goes on in Asian societies.

Asian societies lack the arrogance of the creator/founder, which abounds in the West, especially American Jews.

Imagining something new and having the arrogance to think that it will be a great success and you'll be the one bringing it into the world. This is the trademark American Jew mindset.

Zuck turned down 1 Billion for Facebook...Larry and Sergey 1 million for Google. It takes guts and arrogance to think you'll beat the odds and say "no thanks" to 1 billion (and to 1 million too! considering it was back in the 90s and it was a very good deal for the effort they put into it)

This study is very flawed. They claim there is a direct link, but they didn't control for alcohol and tobacco consumption. If you look at a map of tobacco consumption vs. their map of deaths by overwork, they're very similar.

Easy to say in a safety-net society in a comfortable city. But if losing a job can mean an extreme drop in standard of living, then competition will naturally be more fierce.
An attacker could modify the shadow stack, it's just rather difficult to find where it's randomly placed and would require arbitrary read/write capabilities. The kernel zeros out the register used to write to the shadow stack as soon as possible after use. It's not impossible to defeat, but does raise the bar significantly.

I encourage you to read the commit message of shadow call stack kernel patches, which as another commenter notes is only backwards edge protection; CFI is forwards edge protection.

I used to watch failure analysis reports from some US agency on Youtube a few years back where they identified the causes and possible remediation of catastrophic accidents that resulted in loss of life. It surprised me how often the workers would find refuge in some enclosed working space after the initial event (explosion, release of toxic fumes, etc...) and still end up dying because the space wasn't rated to survive enough time for the emergency services to reach them.
That and alarm fatigue seemed to come up almost every time.
The way I see it, they state money belongs to everyone (bear with me), the transfer between working and capital class happens when it is not distributed evenly, which is what happened at booking.com and is happening quite often because those who work don't have time to research new regulations, don't have experts to analyze them and some yet other people to fill out necessary documents to get money from the state.

That's why I believe many laws like "let's help THOSE people in need" end up on a giant pile that's mostly getting abused by those who have time for it (of course there are exceptions).

For the most part, C level comp of this type is defined ahead of time with the board, and based on formulas/targets that are often tied pretty closely to job function. Given that; it's not a big stretch to see how income like this ("for nothing") might factor into CFO far more than the others.

"Joe's porchbuilding" does not send automated greetings. They want a website that is discoverable on Google by new clients and can display their pitch, everything else is negotiated on phone or by email anyway. You only need to worry about security issues if you build such a site on top of a dynamic platform. The updates and security issues disappear if you serve factually static content as static content.

Static site generators are bad for dynamic websites, but that does not mean you have to try and fit a whole dynamic platform into a static website. Different use cases, different tools.
