Kenji is very good but also highly opinionated, often bordering on food snob. That’s fine, he’s often right but not always. I think that feeds into this problem: People following him will seek out “the best/perfect XYZ” which he looks for based on his own obsession at the time (smashed burgers, XLB, detroit pizza, etc…).

If you watch old episodes of Jacque and Julia you will see how they could easily and happily disagree on what makes something special, and there is nuance there. That nuance is lost in translation with cults of personality.
What do you mean electrician's insurance?

I do have a so called "DIY insurance" on my home policy - if I damage something while doing a DIY project(drill into a cable or a pipe for instance) my home insurance will cover the repair. Is that not enough?
This is great! I'm developing an app in Flutter/Dart with a Rust backend. I would love to replace Dart with Rust and replace Flutter with something less complicated and better documented.

> But the problem for El Salvador is not the technology of monetary systems

I do believe that the monetary system IS the problem since El Salvador is dollarized and is subject to a foreign central bank antics while having no say in the matter. Having their own would be marginally better perhaps but IMO bitcoin is a much better solution.
What's telling is how similar the Asian admit percentage is between the top colleges except for Caltech. It wasn't always like this, but they've all (ex-Caltech) converged on almost the same number now. It appears to be collusion either of the sort discussed in the article or the informal sort where each college copies their competitors' quotas.

> With Moore's law being toast, most hardware upgrades are extremely incremental.

This is news to me. Not sure if you've heard, 1nm has already been achieved in processors, and Apple has been keeping the progress curve alive with SOC architecture:

>No innovation is being stifled by requiring, say, user-replaceable batteries

This is exactly my point. You have good intentions and are trying to solve the problem.

But by doing so you've just made a dangerous authoritarian decision for the future of all computing. Who knows what form batteries will take in the future, especially as power needs are reduced. Look at how much less power the M1 SOC takes vs. Intel chips and multiply that by 10. Now think of all the new form factors that would be enabled by this, and where your law might be a hinderance in 20+ years (yet impossible politically to repeal).

New tech is fragile. All it takes is one guy in legal to say "too risky, violates X law" and said experimental product is set back a decade or two.

> Shitty chinese clones happen with a quickness even today, yet for some reason people still spend billions on name brand devices. I do not foresee this meaningfully changing.

I don't have the same crystal ball to predict the future, I guess. How can you be so sure? Because America is the best at everything and will always be the best? History is filled with predictions of a future that never came to be.

Overall, I'm sympathetic to the cause, but I think the RTR movement is a little too dogmatic and authoritarian for my tastes. If the market wanted the same things as RTR, companies would already be creating their products this way and minting profits. The market isn't perfectly efficient, but it mostly is.

...and if Apple is wrong, and people actually do care about user-replaceable batteries, you should run out and start a RTR-friendly hardware company tomorrow and win the market!
> Or if you have experienced income instability, and you do not feel comfortable bringing children into the world.

Yet poorer developing nations have higher birth rates than developed nations. Is it because they have lower expectations for what their children need to live a "good" life, that they just have more hope that things will work out somehow, or that they somehow don't care about these concerns?
Bringing a laser tape measure and a pen to a physical viewing, and just doing this manually, gets you 98% of the way.

On a related note, on mainstream TV/articles about declining marriage/birthrates in the West, it's common to see criticisms about modern Western men. How women can't find life partners because men aren't masculine enough anymore, don't want to grow up, don't get educated etc.

But very rarely do you see any criticism or even questioning about modern Western women and what men want in a woman. Only what women want. The journalists never seem interested in asking whether modern Western women are marriage material? Degrees don't make you marriage material. Are men still attracted to feminine women, and are there enough feminine women? Are there potential reasons why Western men find it risky to commit to Western women? Do Western women have realistic standards? Do Western women need to be less picky about superficial characteristics? Given that the vast majority breakups are initiated by women, could women in a lot of instances be ending relationships and wrecking their own homes over trivial matters?

The mainstream coverage of this topic is usually very one sided/gynocentric. Women questioning the value of modern men is acceptable, while men questioning the value of modern women will often get you labeled a misogynist/woman hating incel.

This imbalance/lack of discussing what men want in women/lack of criticism of some aspects of modern women really hurts marriage minded women as well, because a lot of women are growing up without hearing what men want in a woman to marry.

Thanks, @tda!! That's a very kind and optimistic post. I think everyone in the OHM community is working with good intents to create a rich resource available for easy reuse and download.

You hit the nail on the head about trying to combine various different geo/temporal efforts to provide greater context of world history.

Our tagging system is like OSM's - very flexible - with all the strengths and weaknesses that offers. And, the tagging system has limitations that we're currently working through & around.

One strength is that any object (node, way, relation in OSM-speak) can have multiple sources. e.g. source:1=url1, source:2=url2, etc.

And, tagging areas as disupted=yes is pretty straightforward.
bit.ly/disputedUSA

We have yet to hit any sensitive areas of debate, but I imagine that will happen in the not too distant future. OHM's system is inherently vulnerable to vandalism, but the goal is to allow conflicting perspectives to coexist, as long as they are sourced.

Wikipedia tags are supported & perhaps more importantly, Wikidata. Wikidata also supports OHM references.

Obviously you can use courts and the police in the form of the existing government. That works fine. We're trying to figure out how to do this in a borderless global internet via blockchain and so forth.

The victim would contact the organizations and ask that they remove the material citing their mission and bylaws. Maybe they would form a hierarchy with the most generally agreed upon rules being shared, like a treaty, between blockchains.

I found this statement from Linus in that thread;

"It's not that the kernel ABI (with all the system calls, all the /proc files, all the ioctl's, etc) is set in stone and "sacred". Absolutely anything can be changed, wildly.

But if it turns out that applications (or hardware) that people use end up breaking noticeably, then that is a regression."

Are "low-risk people" somehow living in an isolated society with only their kind? Or do they also have parents, grandparents, immunocompromised or overweight friends?

The ones who you could argue are at the lowest risk level – those that will have an asymptomatic infection and might not take precautions because they feel fine – are actually presenting the highest risk to every vulnerable person they encounter.

Kenji AKA Peel ginger with a spoon!!!
That's the opposite of what your link shows. While wages have not kept up with growth in the economy or overall productivity, they have absolutely "kept up with inflation," and a tiny bit more, i.e., the average wage has the same buying power now (or a little more) as the average wage had decades ago after adjusting for inflation.
>The economist Raj Chetty has found that nearly 40 of the country’s elite colleges and universities, including five in the Ivy League, accept more students from families in the top 1 percent of income earners than from the bottom 60 percent. The computer scientist Allison Morgan recently released a study examining 7,218 professors in Ph.D.-granting departments in the United States across the arts and sciences. She found that the faculty come from families almost 34-percent richer than average and are 25 times more likely than average to have a parent with a Ph.D. Faculty members at prestigious universities are 50 times more likely than the average person to have a parent with a Ph.D. American meritocracy has become a complex, inefficient, and rigged system conferring its graces on ambitious children of highly educated and prosperous families.

This is like the 'branch cut' equivalent of the social sciences, but rather than making the integral easier to compute, makes the argument sound more convincing than it actually is or supported by the evidence.

If one looks aat the actual data, admitees of elite colleges are hardly among the elite, but just somewhat wealthier than average.

http://yaledailynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/admissio...

We're not taking Rockefeller-level of wealth here.

But this holds even for non-elite colleges. It not that top colleges are biased against the lower classes, but that lower classes may just be less inclined to apply or score lower on standardized tests.

> People often pay electricians even for tasks that are just "flip a switch and turn some screws," after all.

The ultimate reason people pay electricians is liability. Unlicensed work is an easy way to invalidate your homeowner's insurance, lose everything, and get sued for any damage to your neighbors' property (by their insurance company, no less).

As far as I can tell, you could, and will still be able to, make ads invisible based on dynamic data, but under Manifest v3 you would not be able to prevent the ads from downloading (and sharing private information, including your FLOC cohorts) based on dynamic heuristics, because Manifest v3 makes it impossible to use anything other than a simple, limited-length blocklist to prevent a network request from being made. See: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/intro/mv3-o...

It's a decrease in privacy being sold as an improvement in security and performance. Could they have instead implemented a persistent super-sandbox for network-blocking heuristic code that addresses the performance and security issues, while still enabling dynamic network blocking? Probably! But why would they, when the primary use case is heuristic-based ad blocking?

And I suppose you're right - part of any defense in depth is reducing the number of first-level successes. And it's very possible it was script kiddies who sold the cookies to the actual attackers in the EA case. But there's more going on here than just security.
You're right on. I've asked many for shapefiles of the world's historical boundaries & some do exist, but are often encumbered by copyrights / licensing that add friction to sharing. Our goal is to have as much CC0 data as possible, although we have added some CC-BY-SA-NC data. All data is copyright / license marked at the object level, with no label defaulting to CC0.
I think since most online games have chat rooms or other such social aspects, and also the game is there to provide an inherent icebreaker activity when speaking with others, online games tended replaced older hangout-style social activities for some people.

The game being work, but not hard work, provides a number of things beneficial to easy social interaction: a reason to be there, typically an easy way to add value (within the game) and therefore have a reason to approach groups you aren't a member of and potentially join or meet, and an overall good background for chat/conversation without necessarily coming off as desperate or creepy.
> Do we want what FB makes? Is it scarce?.. doesn't need to be a $trn company

People want a social network that everyone else is on, that works on all their devices, and isn't full of spam bots or bugs. It takes a big company to do this at scale and the network effect makes useful social networks scarce.

I was just going to look for data on plumbers and carpenters. One common theme to all these jobs is that they tend to be quite stable, and require a life-long set of skills.

My father did metalwork before moving to an office job in the civil service. He was the son of a die pressman. Who was the son of a blacksmith. Dad taught me how to weld and cut and so on before my teens. My intellectual interests went to math and computers early on, and he did encourage me to go wherever that might lead. Yet after university and exploring the world I end up in a job where I make circuit boards. It's nearly all automated now but I still do far more welding in my job than most people with a degree.

Sometimes it feels like our life scripts are often sketched out by circumstance and trends long before we're even born.

Yep. Narcoleptic here. Sort of the opposite problem where I sleep 9 hours and wake up exhausted and continue to struggle until I fall asleep again. I mention that I'm tired and I get the whole maybe you're sleeping too much, don't look at screens before bed, try melatonin, maybe some caffeine will wake you up, get some exercise. I try not to take it out on anyone because they mean well, but if it's on the first page of Google when you look up exhausted after 8 hours of sleep, I promise you, I've tried it.

Yeah the flaw is that if the rich get the money early and don't generate inflation, it implies they haven't spent it and thus do not significantly benefit from inflation. They may have gotten a greater share of all USD but they haven't redeemed that share in a way that takes resources away from the poor.

If they spend it, poor people would still benefit because the spending is creating jobs in the process. Really, the only problem is land ownership (renting out buildings is fine) and that has nothing to do with inflation, rent seeking is a fundamental problem that drains productivity from the economy.

What you're describing sounds luxurious, but perhaps you mean just the basics, a corner in a room.

Often when people say home office they mean a dedicated room, and that's not available to a lot of people. I've wanted a home office for years, as in a small dedicated room, but not lived in a home with enough free space.

Right now I do have a setup like you've described due to pandemic lockdown - but it's right next to my bed. I don't like the commute, it's too short, and it's not much of a thinking space.

It has not been realistic to work on my preferred non-software hobbies for a long time, as I need decent bench space, ventilation, and to be fair to the neighbours, no neighbours. But I like cities and people too much to want to live in the middle of nowhere.

I'm a pacer in better times. I look at pictures of big spaces like the empty Apple building and just imagine walking around all day while doing my thinking occasionally stopping at a desk to break out the laptop. If they ever solve programming while walking I'll be excited to be at the head of the queue.

Before the pandemic I tended to work in libraries and coffee shops, except when working with local clients on their projects, then I'd use their facilities. Interesting labs and workshops, I like those.

I'm tentatively excited though. I just agreed to a real small office rental. Where I live these are surprisingly rare. I'm looking forward to doing my work, my hobbies and my finances there, instead of at home. I'm looking forward to a decent, private thinking space, where I can write on my own whiteboard. Living the dream! Maybe I'll even start writing to people.
I think this would somewhat validate his “prepared for life” argument because if they have a lot of money they can provide for themselves (food and transport is pretty easy with the gig economy).

(The previous comment used to include something about people wanting to quit their jobs and just play games all day)
For your point about playing games all day — there’s definitely some aspect of “having a purpose” that makes some hold down a job even if they are already rich. So for some it’s definitely their life dream to sit in their room all day, and for some having something that you can point to saying “I contributed this” is an invaluable part of their lives
