Sometimes the most efficient option is not the safest or happiest or winning option. If our prime goal was cheapest lumber 99% of the time, then sure a traditional market is very good at that. I would happily pay for 1% more expensive lumber all the time to avoid paying for 1000% more expensive lumber (read: not being able to buy lumber) when I really need it.
Spoiler: no they are not.

EU Directive 2016/343 part 25 very clearly prohibits this kind of nonsense. Yes, the Irish state insists on pretending that EU law doesn't exist over and over and over again, but how wrong it is about that is documented by its endless appearances at the CJEU in Luxembourg and its 0% win record.
Reading the article, it's full of scare words like "could" and "will" with a noticeable dearth of evidence. Not to bury the lede, but one of the main sources of the article (Steve Calabria) is a component distributor, as well as a representative of the industry group representing component distributors.

From the article:

> As part of his research, Das regularly monitors counterfeit reporting databases like ERAI, and although it is too early to notice a surge, he is confident that the number of reports will start growing in the next six months as companies realize they have been sold illegal parts.

Further down:

> Although only based on his own observations, Calabria is also convinced that this is only the start of a wave of counterfeit semiconductors creeping into the market. "I think we are on the cusp of a major problem here. The worldwide shortages have opened the door for criminals to exploit the electronic component marketplace, and I'm seeing early signs this has already started to happen," Calabria tells ZDNet.

IMO Comparing viewpoints isn’t as important as simply popping you out of the bubble. The key is to distrust the media more than you distrust the “other side”.
Worth noting that if you need the SSN verification for a marketplace type app for tax compliance purposes, the IRS has a free taxpayer ID validation service you can use. The SSA also has one that employers can use.
Coding bootcamps and 4-year colleges have same rate of big 5 employees

I get your point, but putting these 2 thoughts together:

> we are just squandering our advances in hardware by making comparably more inefficient software

> we're able to build things that would not have been possible to build before

We get that not only are we able to build things that weren't possible before, but we can build things that are more inefficient than was possible before.

We can expect in the future to see new levels of inefficiencies as hardware developments give us more to waste.

Without something to balance this out, we should expect to see our text editors get more and more bloated in cool and innovative ways in the future.

It makes me think of fuel efficiency standards in cars.
That is not how effectiveness is measured. 96% effective would mean in the vaccinated group 4 got infected and in the control group (no vaccine), 100 got infected.

A lot of Google's web stuff is god-awful, as far as performance. Today I tracked a most-of-a-second delay on KB input across my entire browser to... having a tab with the Google Cloud dashboard open. A really boring one with nothing going on, too. Damn near an empty view.
I wonder if they really think the powers that be will allow them to retire early. Most will be working until 75+, unless the socialism/automation conspiracy theory comes to fruition.
Yeah. I had one or two channels that took some time moving, but this morning my last one moved, so I've finally logged off Freenode for the first time in about 15 years. In a few more weeks/months, pretty much the only "users" left will be IRC proxies that someone forgot about.
If you want to counteract the narrative bubbles that you're operating in, you need to work hardest to counteract the one that is the default. If you're like most Americans, you're probably immersed in left-leaning thought. The Left owns the culture. They own the major institutions that are shaping society through Hollywood, academia, sports entertainment, the music industry, social media, etc. They own the bureaucracy that has pretty much eaten up the US government. Even longtime bastions of the Right like the military, FBI, etc. have been taken over by the Left.

If you just consume random media, you're getting the left-leaning perspective. It's the right-leaning perspective that you probably have a deficiency of unless you make a great deal of effort to swim against the current.

Take, for example, Haidt's work on analyzing how well different political ideologies understood each other.

The bottom line: Moderates and Conservatives understood the Liberal perspective better than Liberals understand other perspectives.

Of course it's unusual. If you're in SF and work in first tier startups/FAANG, your social circle is going to be mostly people in similar situations. It's a very unusually high earning and unusually rapidly high earning career path.

I would be shocked if in that specific cohort the median net worth at 30 was less than 500 k$. And if less than 1/10 were millionaires at 30.
I don’t know enough about the capital-FIRE group, but any techies around me who want to “retire” early in reality want to go back to just treating tech as a hobby. I think there’s a subtly different “financial independence so I can quit working for the big guy” mentality that gets lumped into the FIRE acronym, even though in this version people are likely to retain skills and connections that should in theory give them some edge if they ever need/want to go back.

But yes: risk is always a part of the game.
I've found that I have to carefully tailor my arguments depending on the audience, to a greater and greater degree lately. In many places it seems the only way to get someone to listen to you is to couch everything you say in the terms of their pet causes. If I argue for LGBT rights with a conservative I have to make it about constitutionality and government overreach. If I discuss male victims of sexual and domestic violence with a leftist I have to talk mostly about female victims. If I advocate for the free speech rights of racists I get called a Nazi and when I advocate for the free speech rights of Drag Queen Story Hour I get called a communist.
English law has basically no protections against search and seizure (no posion tree doctrine). So police are used to doing as they please and politicians like it too. The mathematical impossibility of breaking hard encryption is an afront to literally hundreds of years of entitlement.

I recognize this form of quick wit form of smart response. I didn't read the posed situation as this.

Often in highly technical discussions, there are people who can 'do the deep dive' in real time, vs those who have to explore, formulate and validate their thoughts. I find myself to belong to either camp depending on the particular issue and how familiar I am with the case and past experience relating to potential solutions or pitfalls.

I think one factor that separates those who have those ideas in real time are the ones willing to say something that might be wrong. If you're always wanting to ensure that there's no flaw in what you want to say, it will not be said in the moment.

This should be trivially easy for proponents of that theory to prove it if that is in his emails. Just link to an un-edited, full context email thread relevant to that topic.

Note that PWA is a concept, not a specific set of features or APIs. This makes a lot of this discussion confusing and mostly meaningless. Furthermore this bug is about a browser feature. The similar "PWA" API here would be https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Manifest/displa... which is supported by Firefox for Android so it isn't like Firefox won't support "PWA" as a whole and will reject all of the related APIs.

And remember that PWA is Progressive Web Application. The P is from Progressive Enhancement[1]. This means that missing an API or two doesn't mean that your browser doesn't support PWAs. It just means that some PWAs will have less functions or give a less "app-like" experience.

TL;DR that bug is mostly meaningless, the underlying APIs are what matter.
An employment related service could legitimately require a valid SSN.
They've been doing it for years internally, I'm sure it's not much more stressful from a, "Oh did we let a bad guy through?" perspective, at least.

Definitely more stressful from a, "Did we let a customer of a new product down?" perspective though, for sure.

Also, not for nothing but has Estonia kept their system up to date? I've not been impressed with how it had aged last time I looked into it (a few years back).
The numbers I quoted also include the social security taxes (I edited to make that clear, so apologies if you replied before I made that edit). Swedish marginal rates certainly are among the highest in Europe, but the proportion who pay that much is tiny.

And yes, there are people who will end up paying more, and it sucks for them.

The point is there's always this scaremongering about tax rates when it comes to Europe, and most of the time the tax rates that comes up are marginal rates that are not at all representative.
> For example, you'll almost never see CNN write an article critical about Democrats,

Not true at all. Here's one critical about Democrats as being too beholden to progressives: https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/11/opinions/democratic-party-pro...

Here’s one critical about the current Democratic VP largely for being too concerned with (and ultimately ineffective at) undercutting Republican talking points. https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/11/opinions/democratic-party-pro...

And that's just one day.

Except for stuff responding to new Trump-era revelations, they don't seem to have much current criticism of Republicans not buried within criticism of how Democrats deal with them, representing their actual bias in critical opinion coverage, in that it focuses on people currently in power.

(When Republicans held the White House and the Senate, they had more direct criticism of Republicans.)

CNN isn't biased to the liberal or conservative viewpoint, it is biased towards clicks and views. A lot of the blame for trump gaining acceptance as a viable voting option belongs to CNN for uncritically promoting him and giving him coverage.

When looking at US politics reality does have a liberal bias. Look at how conservatives handled the pandemic and losing the 2020 election. The minority party with a majority of the voting power in the US actively believes and promotes a false version of reality.
Unfortunately many companies have clauses in their options grants that prohibit employees from selling shares to any investor not approved by the company board (e.g. EquityZen).
This is the problem with concepts of polarization: when one side is completely corrupt, reporting on that corruption (that is, observing basic reality) becomes a political act easily described as 'biased.'

The Republican party is fascist.

We also pretend the law doesn’t say what it says. Look at the sanctuary states for illegal immigration and marijuana. Then the red states started doing the same thing with second amendment sanctuary states.

Looks like if there’s no political will to enforce the law it doesn’t get enforced.
Remember how everyone predicted a baby boom in 2021 and instead we saw a 8-10% decline in birth rate [1]? It turns out that while people had more time to focus on their families, the financial uncertainty had a greater impact on their family planning decisions. The same thing happened in 2009 - there's a close link between the birth rate and recessions [2]. While I don't doubt that many people will change their jobs to better fit their life styles, I doubt that we'll end up with as big of a dip in total employment due to resignations (jobs will just shift from some companies to others).

Ballots are secret in the Unites States. Therefore this person must have vocally supported Trump. Therefore you are being misleading about what incited his former fans.
Haha, yes, with you totally!

Perhaps it's a little like the Linux vs Windows/macOS/iOS/Android thing - "have complete control of your computer! Prevent people from spying on you! Tinker under the hood!" - and yet most of us are content with changing the background picture and happy if we don't get malware.

I wonder if cryptocurrency is doomed to the same fate. If we take away the speculation and get rich quick - for the average person, what's left? If it won't make me rich (and there's a risk it'll make me poor!), why move from what I already have that works (arguably) far better?

When they present those percentages does that apply only to Hollywood films, or films world-wide? And do foreign films represent their own populations proportionally, should we and they calculate national proportions or global proportions?
True, but they're making most of their money from western whiter countries. Which is reflected in their actors/stars. However this is already changing and will get better as the global market continues to expand.
kind of a bad time for this don't ya think?
The source linked in the parent post says the 1 billion figure is for US only. Maybe the number is more plausible if it's applied worldwide, but the source should be considered as unreliable.

If you live in NY or CA (not sure about other states) and are under retirement age, Medicaid is a thing and works great. No asset limit, just income, so regardless of what you've saved you're likely eligible - so you can quit your job and without paying COBRA things will be ok
Yep. Look at it this way: the same Republicans who whine about cancel culture went ahead and stripped one of their own, Liz Cheney, of her committee positions merely for the crime of daring to oppose Trump. That should tell you all you need to know about their hypocrisy.

Mostly for more junior people, be very careful with this. Even if companies make sure promotions happen equally for on-site and remote, you'll learn everything slower. This could be new technology, a new language, or things about the company's infrastrucutre, but it will all be slower, and don't be surprised when people who are on-site seem better at their jobs.
I would think no vaccine was approved without positive phase III results. Novavax like some other efforts were late. Some major pharma were just ineffective and are licensing out production facilities.

I worked at a large US news agency for several years. It's a for-profit shit show.

After watching CNN's technical director saying on spy cam that their publication is entirely driven by propaganda, I lost trust in all the news agencies out there. Quote:

> Yeah. I mean like Trump, we did it, like when Trump was, I don't know, like his hand was shaking or whatever I think. We brought in like so many medical people to like all tell a story that like, it was all speculation, that he was neurologically damaged, that he was losing it. He's unfit to, you know, whatever. We were... we were creating a story there that we didn't know anything about, you know? That's what -- I think that's propaganda, you know? We had nothing else to run with at that time. We were like, just taking shots off the bow just hoping something would hit, you know?

I'm a massive centrist, not a US citizen, trying to be as objective as possible. A shit and for-profit/power propaganda is flowing from both ends.
The people who can fix things are the same people who benefit from the existing system. Why would we expect them to act against their interests?
Routines should be a mix of things you develop expertise and efficiencies at (say, compound barbell movements or heavy KB base movements), and other things that you aren't efficient at. Strength training (simply one modality) is about progressive overload. So, it helps to get better at some of your exercises, but it's also advantageous to stress your body in ways that you're not efficient at -- but, if that's all you're doing, you'll never truly push yourself because the progressive overload gains won't come.

My advice in the past is that 60% of your time in training should be for things you like and you're getting very good at. The non-compound movements have benefits, but unless you're competing at something, the benefits are across a broader impact spectrum.

How will this translate into a fitness routine? If you look at some of the 5/3/1 periodization routines, it'll be something like: bench press, shoulders/chest, lats, triceps. Doesn't matter as much which shoulder/chest or lat exercises, just take them to a proper RPE (search it).

Routines, in and of themselves, aren't super helpful if you don't understand some of the basic principles. For which some deeper resource -- a book, possibly -- is a wise investment.
