Of course the unmentioned corollary to "keeping your identity small" is that you must want to make everything ground for an argument. Keep your identity proportionate to how much you want to argue about your identity.
Imagine if they started crossbreeding
I can think of a bunch of small organizations. Together that's enough people to fill a large organization. Maybe there are some other properties of large organizations that make it impossible to compose them out of altruistic people.
Very relevant, even 12 years later. There seems to be many more spaces where we add to our identity today.
Seems so. But ipv6 is much more likely that your local address IS your global one though translation still can occur.
> "Cicero sic in omnibus, et Brutus aderat"

This would appear to mean "Cicero [was] this way in everything, and Brutus was there", which comes across as two clauses with absolutely no connection between them. On the other hand, it is comprehensible Latin, unlike "semper ubi sub ubi". Is it a quote from a real source, or was it composed purely for the sake of sounding like English when read in the British standard Latin pronunciation?

As a gatekeeper? Yes, yes it does; hence why there shouldn't be any gatekeepers.
My favourite definition of reality is the stuff that doesn't go away when you stop believing in it.

This makes reality a social phenomenon, beyond just physics. For example, institutions are a reality because many people believe in them; the police don't go away when criminals stop believing in the law.

If you get enough people to believe in your dream, it can become real, self-sustaining. Neil Gaiman wrote a nice short story, taking the idea literally - A Dream of a Thousand Cats.
I reached a similar conclusion after lurking on subreddits of opposite political leaning. I favored the views of one subreddit over another (naturally). Over time, I found that I was blindly believing the comments in my favored subreddit over the other one, only to find that the comments were false or citing unreliable sources. I saw this happen several times, until I stopped lurking on both of the subreddits. I guess it's better to keep your identity small ...
Stuff Made Here.
I have absolutely no data, but I wonder if a decline in public decency is also playing a role. It isn’t hard to find videos or articles of service workers getting harassed or physically attacked by customers.

Seriously, this reads like satire now.
Ellsberg's job, at the time he copied the Pentagon Papers, was nuclear strategy. His recent book The Doomsday Machine is a sobering account of early US strategy, which he can write about now because a lot has been declassified.

It turns out the Pentagon Papers were supposed to be just a sideline. He also copied documents on US nuclear strategy, which was horrific. He released the Vietnam documents first because he figured if he started with the nuclear docs, nobody would care about the Vietnam stuff.

He gave the nuclear papers to his brother to hide. His brother hid them first in his compost pile, then got worried and moved them to a garbage bag on the edge of the town dump. The next day, men in suits were seen poking metal rods in his compost pile.

Unfortunately, a freak storm washed away that section of the dump. Ellsberg and his brother spent a year opening garbage bags in the area where it all ended up, to no avail. Ellsberg said his wife considered the storm a gift from God, because if the nuclear papers had hit the light of day, he surely would have spent the rest of his life in prison.
I’m surprised there isn’t something in ICMP that returns the routable host IP. Then you could ping anything in the world that responds to ping and know your IP.

While sort of interesting in theory, the actual moves required to get to this position seem really unrealistic from both sides. I am not sure what I am supposed to learn from studying this.

There are many ways this can occur. Think of intimidating, racist language being used to discourage minorities from voting, for example. Or a public official whose expression of obnoxious views about women prevents female employees from feeling secure in the workplace.

The overall tone of the comments here seems to regard speech as an obvious, unadulterated good. I think the reality is actually much more complex.
Unsolicited feedback: if you give examples of the kind of work you do, it might be more effective. Just reading the blurb, I don't really get much information as to what your "secret sauce" is.
Moreover, suburbanites largely don't want to visit the city, they either do by necessity or for special occasions like a big game or a designated social event.

I see this in Seattle so much. People complain about their version of what they think my city is, swarm in for a big football game or whatever and have a great time once every few months, then swarm out to complain more about a city they’re not even in
There's a book that takes this general idea in a direction. It's definitely intended as a commentary on society and the future, but you might enjoy reading it.

https://marshallbrain.com/manna1
Except it wasn't.
This is fascinating. And after reading every comment - it makes me wonder when people are saying something like “right, it arrived before it left”

1) I am understanding the affirming responses? Aka is the above summary a correct characterization?

2) it feels like this (and related older research) would be the closest thing to a future telling machine - but with limited application “did I press the button?” The observer would perhaps know before the button presser albeit by tiny margin.

This can’t possibly be right, someone help me out here if you would be so kind.
That sucks for them, but would that be feasible?

I don't know how much crew each vessel have, but say there's 20 people on each vessel. If there's 100 vessels, that's 2000 people you have to deport. Considering they might be lack identity documents, it seems like there would be a lot of red tape involved in deporting them properly. Especially if China will not have them.

Since you can't execute prisoners once you've taken them, it seems like a very big risk to capture them, buying the pig in the poke so to speak. Is this correct?
The docs may live in the repo but they should definitely be published somewhere that non-GitHub users in the organization can view.

The higher level strategic stuff can absolutely live elsewhere - in my experience Google Docs or some kind of company-wide wiki often come into play here.

I suspect this differs by geography. Texas never really completely shut down for the pandemic. People where I live remain eager to work. The lower paid service jobs are mostly staffed by young people but people remain eager to work.

My wife was just driving through Kentucky and West Virginia to visit some relatives. She is seeing a radically different world there. Job postings and labor shortages are everywhere and most of the people she is visiting are unemployed and don’t do anything.
I hate to break it to you, but most employer plans, even in tech, will have someone paying hundreds of dollars and still have a deductible of thousands. Only a few companies pay all of it (and, because we're talking tech, it's not that big a deal anyway since cost of plan + max out of pocket is < $15k).

The fact it's easier to afford if you make more money is...well, sort of the reason why people want it to be universal, and covered by taxes, so the rich can offset it for the poor.

If you're paid by the hour then you get money by sitting around in meetings, but not by going home and watching a movie.
Interestingly, the time is also classified by the ‘class’ of research, where class one research involve very basic improvements (like changing the speed at which you make something) that have a different tax bracket than class five research, which is closer to basic/applied research with no clear application in sight.
It’s too bad there’s not a simpler way to just ask your router what it’s external IP is or if it has changed. You’d think SNMP could do it.

A lot of companies (e.g. uber, Amazon, etc) have made it much harder to get any kind of satisfaction from the management who is actually at fault for problems people have, and leave the front line folks to face the anger they incur. Easy example, I have had lots of problems with uber that are almost always app related, but I am asked to rate the driver every time. I try to always give a good rating or none at all, but I imagine the drivers (who are mostly just executing specified instructions) are bearing the brunt of any frustration with the company. This is true for most customer service roles now, companies have completely offloaded their accountability onto the front line who is usually the least responsible.

So your idea makes sense.
Another thing that comes to mind is the list of NIST Cybersecurity Framework’s controls. The length of these lists is a reflection of the real complexity that are inherent to computer networks.

In all fairness... as someone who worked at McDonald's growing up just a decade or so ago, the POS was absolutely an awful experience at the time. Tons of very tiny images, similar colors, small text, prioritizing "meals" over individual items in lists. I wasn't particularly motivated to memorize the UI to make myself a more profitable wage slave either, of course, but I empathize with anybody who has to use that POS POS on a daily basis.
If we don't need their work because productivity is so high, then forever. If we do need their work, we should funnel them into the training they need to do it.

To be scrupulouly fair, the "for Apple" is 100% redundant.
I don’t want anyone for a second to believe we are any different.

All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;

They have their exits and their entrances;

And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms;

And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress’ eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon’s mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lin’d,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;

And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slipper’d pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;
His youthful hose, well sav’d, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion;
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

The genesis of imposter syndrome. I am the role that I play, and if not, than what am I.

It’s a odd thing to realize that these simple digital avatars tech created would be the Roman/Greek/Egyptian god we pray to. At the altar of ourselves.

It must be nice to have the luxury of choosing to keep one's identity small rather than having a big identity foisted upon oneself by society, history, and the circumstances of one's birth.
Buses take the place of 20-40 cars. Trains take the place of hundreds of cars, are quieter than the highway they replace, and only pass by every 5-15 minutes, compared to the constant drone of highway traffic.

This is an interesting idea that I haven't seen before. I wonder how many of these jobs that are going unfilled were second or third jobs before. I don't know if there's any way to measure that, but it makes sense. People didn't give up working altogether, they can just get by with one job now because they spend less.
The format of the article was that of a critique. The author described how systems currently operate in a manner he viewed as deficient and then suggested ideas for improvements.

When the author states "the principal function of most corporations is not to maximize shareholder value, but to maximize the standard of living and quality of work life of those who manage the corporation", the author was implying that this is wrong.

They then stated that "Employees have a much larger investment in most corporations than their shareholders. Corporations should be maximizing stakeholder, not shareholder, value to employees, customers, and shareholders."

Thus the author semantically implies that "employees" are a separate group of persons from "those who manage the corporations". If employees and "those who manage the corporation" were the same group of persons or part of the system, then it would not have been necessary for the author to claim that corporations should also maximize value for employees, they would have only mentioned customers as the excluded group of stakeholders.
Forcing many people that want to eat to figure out how to work two jobs but nobody wants to hire someone for 10 hours so people are more apt to work 2 25 hour jobs.

Bernie Madoff with all their money.
Yes, I’m surprised at how little the Western countries use their military (and police) when facing an obvious act of territorial dispute. The border police’s role now seems to be to prepare meals for immigrants rather than turning them back, just as it is common to let the fishers fish for 10 years (the problem clearly isn’t new) until the population starts noticing that our ecosystems are destroyed, rather than arresting/sinking ships.

Like any navy is supposed to.

That, or taking the time to start their own business (you don't have to see a lot of success to beat serving), or etc.

But part of it is also that the government has continued unemployment past the point they normally would, due to the pandemic. The decision between working 40 hours a week for $400, or being paid $300 a week and not working, is pretty obvious. It will be interesting (in a cynical "oh my God what the hell is wrong with this country" sort of way) to see what happens in the states that are slashing those benefits, and whether that leads to reduced help wanted or not.
Ellsberg's worried about nuclear war. That would be worse than China getting TSMC.

However, as far as TSMC is concerned, the likely outcome of an invasion would be that TSMC in Taiwan permanently shuts down: https://doxa.substack.com/p/why-a-chinese-invasion-of-taiwan
I feel like the difference should be that if you are merely providing a market, then the customer must "belong to" to vendor: at bare minimum, the vendor must know who they are; Apple, however, insists that the customer belongs to them, that the vendor will learn nothing about the customer, and that the vendor is merely providing software to Apple under a license that allows Apple to sell copies of it to their customers... they absolutely should have full responsibility for the things they choose to sell in this scenario. Apple also certainly isn't just checking "does the paperwork look good": they are carefully examining the product, vetting it, and then claiming on their website and in all their marketing materials that customers can feel safe using all of the apps they sell because of this curation, for which they take a handsome cut of the profits. It is all simply ridiculous, really.
Reminds me of that study showing you could have computer controlled cars weave through an intersection without stopping and it worked fine but the passengers couldn’t stand it.

So devise an automated devil’s traffic circle with cars going in all directions.
I'm not trying to be unfair, just audibly wondering why people think that the same people who can't design a UI that employees who spend 29 hours a week on can master are going to design a UI for people who spend 10 minutes on it a week.
Agree with this critique completely. Erik should have picked a much better context in neuroscience to make his points, not in virology. The trademark addition to the science game is offensive. Don’t think Wittgenstein added TMs to his new terms or phrases much.
> Why? Why does this happen with religion and not with Javascript or baking or other topics people talk about on forums?

I talk it he has not ever participated in Javascript or baking discussions.

It turns out that discussions have often nothing to do with identity, and a lot with depth of knowledge and depth of conviction. Shallow knowledge & deep convictions are what leads to disaster.

Maybe it's not labels, but the desire to position yourself as an expert, even if you don't really understand the problem.

I wrote about the coming stagflation here:

https://austingwalters.com/stagflation-is-here-monetary-infl...

The reality is that they're being paid to stay home. A lot of people (myself included) would have loved the opportunity to take one of those $12/hr greeting jobs when I was 16. Instead, I managed to get $9/hr setting up a companies internal network.

You're correct, this is America. You can work hard and build something. America is intentionally setup NOT to give you anything, but to make as many opportunities as possible open to you. That's why people brave deserts to come here.

There aren't any static classes (although the education system is quickly becoming one), that's what makes america great. Honestly, health care isn't what most of the poor care most about (having been there, it is a concern, just not #1); medicaid and medicare cover you if you're poor enough, hospitals will drop 80-90% of your bill if you're over that, etc. etc.
Have you asked for a raise, and ideally also for increased responsibilities? My experience is that people don’t usually get raises without asking for them, and specifically without seriously looking at other jobs. By far the best way to get a raise is to find another job you like, get the offer, then give your boss the chance to match. But if you like the job and would rather keep it, then I recommend telling your manager about this before you start interviewing, so they have time to work the machinery and try to materialize an increase for you if they want to keep you (and have any internal leverage).

Unfortunately most company HR programs are f*** up and won’t authorize anything other than token raises for existing employees, whereas the recruiting team will authorize much higher pay in order to actually sign candidates that managers want to hire. Thus you’re really anchored to wherever you started at any given company, and if you want to see a big change in role and comp it’s almost always necessary to change jobs.
Empathize? :)
What I'm saying is that at the low end of the wage scale Obamacare is a public health hazard. You have people avoiding necessary healthcare because the money for deductible or medication isn't there.
> people feel they have to be over some threshold of expertise to post comments about that

“that” being things that are not political or religious.

What vaccines and 5G have shown is that you do not need to be qualified to talk about a topic. A strong opinion about anything is what qualifies you to be an expert in 2021.

Based on that article and my memory, this is a phenomenon that has happened in the last 10 years. Why this may be the case is something I’m not sure of. There are some possibilities. Perhaps the rise of mainstream social media allowed everyone to find their people, which emboldened people with minority opinions. Or maybe rising income inequality is making people feel increasingly powerless and this influences them to assert themselves in areas outside of politics and religion.
So explain why those are ok to censor, but others aren’t…
Maybe every new version converts more people?

I assume the OP meant, or at least how I took it and implement it, it can be in a dir called docs/ off the root of the tree. It doesn't have to be literally scattered about in the actual source, just in the same repo.

Though there are reasons to do both(some docs from the source itself, and some from docs/) but that's a different debate.
