It is telling that one has to roughly estimate Trillions of Wealth in Thousand of Milions in Dollars the Top 0.01 or Top 400 Invidiuals have (is it one quarter or one third of the 0.01 percent?) but at the "Bottom" - say 90% - it is down to the decimal point (with some manageable variances).

The basic message of the article is to give the impression that there are somehow two "equally weighted" positions:

In short, there’s a split among economists. Some argue that income needs to be distributed more equitably, while others say governments should focus less on taking actions that could inhibit top earners and more on addressing the reasons others aren’t as successful. Do we slow the 0.01 percent or lift the 99.99 percent, which could be a heavier and more complex assignment? As the debate continues, members of the 0.01 percent continue on their course.

A controversy on which policies should be implemented regarding income inequality. Having read the voluminous Piketty and now searching for the "underdog" Greg Kaplan (Co-Director of the Gary Becker Milton Friedman Institute for Research in Economics: basically the Chicago School of Economics in a new better empiricist's clothes), there is basically - in my quick search - nothing substantial about his arguments other than the good ol' tale: Do not "destroy" the wealth creating machine of the 0.01% instead let the other 99.99% adopt it.
Like a cynic saying: Everyone can win the lottery.

For anyone interested about the "real" consequences of the old Chicago School of Economics, there is a great documentary called "Chicago Boys" about the case study of Chile from '73 onwards.

Anyone even bothering to look deeper into the history of inequality between "Stalinism" (Socialism) and "Thatcher-Reaganism" (Neoliberalism) there is for example FDR's "New Deal" which somehow is rarely brought up these days, the parallels (translating into our times) are striking. And many other examples of truly rich datasets to look into.

Of course the datasets about the obscenely rich is very poor even nowadays in the "information age".
One has to wonder is this "information distribution" not how real wealth can be defined, too?
> Ancient Mesopotamian astronomy, for instance, used a flat earth model. More astonishingly, Chinese astronomers used a flat earth model until the 16th century.

This is hardly a proof these astronomers did believe their model pictured the shape of the Earth correctly. In fact, a kind of flat Earth model and a (horizontal coordinate system)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizontal_coordinate_system) is used to this day in astronomy to demonstrate how the sky and the celestial bodies appear to an observer on the ground. This was exactly the purpose of earlier astronomers because from this knowledge they could deduce predictions about the seasons and eclipses (and, ok, lucky and unlucky days and so on). If you're ready to deal with a modicum of epicycles and are only interested in purely local ephemerides, the model is actually not so bad as a framework for calculations and the real improvement only comes with a heliocentric model with elliptical orbits, not so much from a spherical Earth.

I remember exploring the petit ceinture, and from there the catacomb. It was in the late 2000 in Paris.

The catacomb came as a surprise, I knew it was there. I was not expecting to find a entrance to it randomly.

( you might know the place, where the ceinture collide with a easy catacombe entrance under a tunnel, in the XIIIeme )

I had some much fun finding old map. Mapping it myself … then realizing that a LOT of people where going there as well.

If you only have reasonable people around you it can work. It still has a lot of things going against it like feeling quite 'precise'. That was not the situation described though anyway. The larger the company is the more likely it will be that you have these unreasonable people around you and up the chain.

Story points are not a cureall. But it can help shift the conversation even with the 'unreasonable' people that just look at the hours vs a 40 hour work week. As mentioned though it needs someone that really understands what story points are and that won't let "them" just equate story points to hours. Seen that too many times even from "Scrum Masters". If 2 Story Points always equal 16 hours then you don't need to use Story Points.

Back to the preciseness. You estimated 30 hours but it took 33? How dare you! You could try and only estimate in whole or half days to mitigate.

Story points? They have a built in jitter as estimates get larger. 0.5 1 2 3 5 8 13 20... Some unreasonable people will try to compute a number of hours from your velocity. Luckily it will usually at least be imprecise but really you should try to make them understand that it makes no sense to even do that. Also don't let them do math with story points. That's a try at making thing more precise again which just doesn't make sense. Jira for example only allowed whole numbers in the story point field. They were pressured by customers to allow/show floats. That make no sense!

Even with story points you should only take in 70-80% of your velocity into each sprint. I usually average the velocity over the last few sprints too. It all serves to make it 'less precise feeling'. Yes that's math but the only math I will allow: avg(last5SprintsVelocity)*0.75 is what we take in. Round about, a bit more or a bit less depending on how the team feels since this never matches 100% to what's in the sprint anyway.
By "the entire thing", do you mean an entire file, without knowing if all functions in it will be used? I'm just baffled because there are several posts here from V8 developers, and quotes from the FAQ, saying things of the form "this is like FullCodeGen, except X", and the "X" is never "FullCodeGen was not a JIT". Which suggests to me that the people closest to development of these things don't think of them in the same terms as you do, which is why I'm trying to understand your terms.
I'd probably hesitate to, say, rent a co-working space if I were technically required to have a business visa. But so long as I'm not speaking at events, meeting with customers, etc. absolutely no one cares if you're working on email, programming, writing, etc. on a valid tourist visa. (And, as a US citizen, aside from a few countries with somewhat onerous visa policies in general, I have absolutely never had an issue come up where I needed something different from whatever on arrival paperwork there was.)

The slash between "eliminate" and "assimilate" is doing a lot of work. It highlights two very different meanings of "genocide". It's the distinction between "killing people" and "killing a people".

You're right regarding the history, of course.

Also sadly, one has a way of turning into the other.

Well, both are sad anyway.
95% of the negative stuff and 99% of the political stuff on twitter has absolutely no bearing on what "stuff" is going on in the real world and is more likely to bias your own views than by just listening to the people in whatever your personal friend/work bubble is.

Twitter is not real life. It's a deranged, toxic simulacrum of an alternative universe built by a god who hates us.
Or Twitter could let accounts create categories for their tweets so that you could opt-in or opt-out to them when you follow people. I may be into finance but I want to be able to post other things too, as I'm human. Trying to juggle multiple accounts is frustrating and time-consuming, and often thwarted by randomized phone number verification requirements on new accounts.

I guess the entire field of biology and genetics should just “sit it out” then.
I wondered about this myself, but in the second sentence of the Abstract the authors say: "This notion [that TB was introduced post-contact], however, is incompatible with archaeological evidence of pre-contact tuberculosis in the New World." As you speculate, wouldn't the aboriginal inhabitants be more susceptible to TB from Europe even if it was the same disease, but separated by perhaps thousands of years genetically.

PBS claims that by the 1900 one-seventh of every person that had ever lived had died from TB[1], and according to The World Health Organization, "About one-quarter of the world's population has a TB infection, which means people have been infected by TB bacteria but are not (yet) ill ..."[2]

Significantly, The WHO goes on to say that lifetime risk of falling ill with TB if infected is between 5 and 10 percent. The poor treatment of the aboriginal peoples alone could have caused an epidemic of TB illness due to the crowding, malnutrition, and forced displacements.

My own father had TB, I wasn't allowed to visit him in the hospital as a child that year. Fortunately, he was able to obtain the relatively new antibiotic course of therapy in the early 60's that enabled him to be cured over a long period of time.

After lastpass's recent policy changes around free multi-device use, I finally decided to switch password management services. I don't really mind spending like $10/year for password management but lastpass was slow/buggy/frustrating enough that I didn't want to pay for it.

The whole process took probably three minutes front-to-back. Lastpass lets you export your passwords in a CSV, which you then upload to any other service which automatically imports them. Very easy. If you're frustrated with lastpass I recommend the switch. Personally I chose Bitwarden because it's open source.

MirageOS compiles as either a unikernel (for prod) or a regular ELF image for running as a Linux process (for dev). The dev build still only sees the world through the same ABI the prod build does, though (it tries to have the semantics of being a VM plus an emulator, WPOed/Futamura-projected together) so any restriction prod has, you'll already run into in dev.

It’s dangerous to comment on this article without knowing what residential schools were.

Children were forcibly taken from their families by the Canadian government for no other reason than the families they were born into.. to be converted to a different culture and faith and endured horrific abuses across the board in every residential school.

A good place to learn why these children specifically suffered, and how monstrously wrong it was (some schools operated into the 1980s and 1990s) is the Truth and reconciliation commission that took place in Canada.

>Or is this not actually a Russian thing and just an anomaly?

I think it is a "Russian thing". One of them. They would not admit it though because they simply do not notice it or because they do not want to admit.

By the way another "Russian thing" is: Never admit the obvious truth even if it is clearly prestented to them with evidence or even when it does them no harm. It is hard
sometimes to understand why they do that because you see no obvious reasons but if you dig deep enough you can find some fear or embarrasment behind it. Unfortunately they would not admit it too.
Not sure why you downvote me for explaining why the language used by an old woman is not indicative of how things are today (or have been for a while even).

And, as explained, in German the discussed greetings are actually taken rather literally. At least I believe giving some very small insight into a culture is actually useful but apparently you disagree.

I did the same. The offshore recruiters were very fond of the "fake positivity" posts i.e man doesn't hold elevator for someone or steals a parking space from a person while going to an interview just to find out that it was the CEO. Once I started following them, my feed cleaned up immensely taking on a more technical bent.
Sorry for your loss.

Lost my brother-in-law few months back after a long battle with cancer. My sister is still mourning. It takes time and it never really goes away fully. You just get used to it I guess.

One of the things I thought and shared with her, and which had some effect was this: we all die and we all spend our time here in various ways. Being sad for a loss means that we were lucky enough to have someone of high value in our lives. That is not a given. So, sad as we might be it's also a reason to be happy that we were that lucky. The alternative would be to never have met them and thus lead a much poorer life.

Dunno if that helps.

> get a pinephone if you value freedom and privacy. apple ios is just as bad as android or microsoft windows

It's not as black and white as that. Other people will have different requirements and make different tradeoffs to you.

The PinePhone is great if you value freedom, privacy, and have the time and inclination to make it work for you. Most don't, and an iOS device is a good compromise if you value privacy over freedom to run your own code. It's not perfect, but it's better than Android.

When I was visiting her yesterday afternoon, the attending physician confirmed with us that her case had been reported to the VAERS system.
Yes; but furthermore, the "syscall" doesn't end up happening. You're really just writing a kernel driver calling kernel functions, with a libc-looking (or other-language's-runtime-looking) library abstraction (that can be optimized out at unikernel build time.)

Usually this library abstraction also has a userspace actually-does-syscalls backend you can build against, giving you a regular userland process, rather than a unikernel, for low-overhead testing. (In this case, if there's anything that absolutely must load into kernelspace, it may compile to a separate DKMS module, which will then communicate through some form of IPC with your userspace process.)

But all that complexity is just for testing; in prod, you just get a monolithic kernel with your code inside (that being either an existing kernel with your code being a driver; or your code being "the kernel", with the library being an exokernel framework.)
The government would have never let the Church (run schools) take responsibility for the kids if the Church wasn't mistreating them like this. They would have just run their own abusive boarding schools.

From there:

The terms "left" and "right" appeared during the French Revolution of 1789 when members of the National Assembly divided into supporters of the king to the president's right and supporters of the revolution to his left. One deputy, the Baron de Gauville, explained: "We began to recognize each other: those who were loyal to religion and the king took up positions to the right of the chair so as to avoid the shouts, oaths, and indecencies that enjoyed free rein in the opposing camp".

The whole system makes a lot more sense if you imagine it through the belief in the “white man’s burden” at the time - it was the white man’s responsibility to educate and assimilate “inferior” cultures into the “superior” Western system. Not to excuse the damage done, but the people doing these things felt like it was their moral responsibility - if they didn’t do it, these cultures would forever be stuck in their inferior ways.

That attitude hasn’t disappeared.
