I mean, it won't. The study with the most positive outcome that I was able to find still makes it look, on average, like a sucker's game. Working ~10% harder earns you a 1% raise.

https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.1086/669971

I suppose one mitigating factor is that the raises might compound, so that, after 20 or 30 years, the person who's working 50 hour weeks will still be stressed out, but they're at least more likely to be stressed out while on a boat.
I told the tenants to leave 2 months in advance but the last month didn’t pay and I had to pay from my own expenses to cover the mortgage

And aren’t helpful to individuals making decisions for themselves and their families. For an individual, the unemployment rate is either 0% or 100% (though gig workers and seasonal workers can be 50% employed exceptions)
The brain matter is indeed pierced. While “you only use 10% of your brain” is a myth, much of the brain is what we call non-eloquent, meaning it can be damaged or removed without any noticeable effects. Especially when it just means being pierced by a 2-3mm diameter lead. Are there hidden side effects that we are simply unable to recognize? Sure, but with as primitive an understanding of the brain as we currently have, we are forced to rely on a more pragmatic rather than philosophical approach.
You get used to diet modifications after a while, took me a year at least before I stopped 'mourning' my old diet so to speak. There's plenty of other delicious foods out there and it may go away eventually.

There's plenty of outdoor spaces that are treated for ticks prevention to enjoy too, to get the best of both worlds.
But what would be the solution? I've already played around with DIDs and Verifiable Credentials in the SSI-context and I like it from a tech perspective. I am also not sure if the spec should be held accountable to potential privacy misuses – the user should be. Additionally, you don't have to use the big tech solutions. The tech is inherently open, just look at the many DID methods.

But what I am concerned of are consortium (identity) networks like Sovrin which are run by a hand full of companies. At least in Germany, the government is starting to like what they are doing which is horrible imo. The identity layer of a state should not be governed by a consortium of private companies, no matter what fancy governance model they have.
They do, but the parents have more of a say, since they're paying for it. And, since they can afford it, they have a choice of schools should their complaints fall on deaf ears.

Sort of. Social media feeds and ads are ephemeral and customized to the specific user. This makes transparency hard, unless the network provides access.
I spent ~6.5 years at Google working an hour a day at the most (cue Office Space, meeting with the Bobs) with nobody being the wiser. I met or exceeded all performance review expectations. When I left, my colleagues complimented me on my "work ethic". It wasn't just me doing that either. Most ppl are too busy focusing on whatever life goals and ladderisms they've assigned to themselves to really scrutinize what others are doing.

Physics isn't simple. It took (literally) thousands of years of study by very smart people to get to the point where what we call "intuition" about the physical world is what it is. And, as any physicist who paid attention in class will tell you, even that intuition isn't really right.

Any simplicity observed in physics is born of long familiarity, or is the result of underlying complexities being masked or approximated away.
Has this happened before (to websites primarily of concern to those not in the US)? The internet has been forking for a while, and I suppose eventually we will have national internets subject to border controls like other forms of commerce, but I am surprised to see the US encouraging it.
> They go quiet or form a tiny invite only groups to hide after an attempt to do something good that backfired because their skin is the wrong colour or they aren’t trans.

It really sounds like they accidentally offended someone, the person who was offended was so much so that they couldn't communicate why they were offended, and then your friends misinterpreted the issue.
These type of "Yes men" are going to be the ones hurt the most for going along with the script.

wxPython is great.

wxPython is the best and most mature cross-platform GUI toolkit, given a number of constraints. The only reason wxPython isn't the standard Python GUI toolkit is that Tkinter was there first.

That's fine by me. However, I did just see Amazon and Google on their sponsors list, so maybe I will redirect my donation money to organizations that need it more than the RESF.

Regardless, I think it's good to get back in the mental habit of paying for software that we benefit from, even if it's only a small amount.
Almost all of it. The only thing it needs to contain is name, whether you are "immune" (vaccinated or natural antibodies), and a signature to verify it hasn't been tampered. When you were born, which vaccine you received, and when you received it are not necessary to show that you won't be spreading the disease.
I haven't been to Houston myself, but I've visited Dallas, Austin, Phoenix, Orlando and a bunch of Californian cities — one thing they had in common was that the ACs were turned way too low (in business conference centers) where I learned to bring a sweater when travelling to warm US state in the summer (not to mention the confusion when you ask for water without ice).

I keep my AC at 26C/80F when it's really hot outside (like these days when we are hitting 95F with 104F expected in a few days), and the difference when going out still bothers me. My metabolism adapts to outside conditions and I assume most people's does to (eg. towards the end of winter, 50F/10C feels nice and warm whereas at the beginning of winter, it's chilly).

But even if you are uncomfortable at 78F/25C as the article states, does one seriously worry about overheating and babies becoming dehydrated at those temps? Like really? (I've got an 8 month old and I avoid ACs but did turn them on the last few days because of the outside temps crossing 30C)

To top it off, most ACs dry out the air too (to the point that this also bothers me).

Most private schools - in the US at least - are religious, so I'd argue they're peddling propaganda as a matter of course (though not all such schools require students to participate in the propagandization).
Ah, perfect. Thanks for the link!
Agree. And further, in which direction is the industry moving?

It looks as though that my kids will be unable to buy a home and may be renters-for-life — as with an increasingly larger percentage of the upcoming generations.

No doubt, like in every other pursuit of Capitalism, there will be mergers, buyouts, and consolidation of the entire "rental industry".
From a sci-fi perspective, algae has been proposed as a food source for spacecraft life support systems. Going by the most optimistic estimates, 6 liters of algae produces enough oxygen and food to sustain a human indefinitely.

I for one do not welcome a future where most people live on green slime and only the wealthy have grains/vegetables/meat. At least not without lots of investment into artificial flavoring.
There's hard work and then there's hard work.

There's work that's hard on your body, but is simple to do.

Then there's work that's easy on your body, but is difficult to do.

(Also, easy on the body/simple, and hard on your body and difficult, but in this case, they're not relevant)

Running cable, carting machines, and all the other stuff done by the bottom tier of IT is stuff more people are capable of doing. It's simpler. Designing the network, the software, etc is more difficult, not everyone can do it.

And those people who went to college then straight into a six figure job do know how the world works. Or at least a part of it. Because that's how it worked for them. It did work. They were not wrong.

They don't know how every part of the world works, though. And neither does the person who makes 30k a year in major American cities. They know how that part works.
At the moment, the idea is as follows: these are short conversations no more than 5 minutes. We got a little distracted, discussed it and then go about our business.
We discussed and creating rooms at any time and duration. I decided to dwell on the current concept for now. 5 minutes, every half hour.
When creating a room, you can specify that it will be periodic, i.e. will not be deleted, but will constantly become active at the appointed time, see the field Periodic
Yeah I think anonymous accounts get a bad reputation and it's unfortunate.

Fake bought accounts have a good rep.
I believe there are plenty of examples of profitable news organizations. They all generally sit in the 'patronage' category as you described/ala The Guardian.

The New York Times is the first one that comes to mind: https://www.wsj.com/market-data/quotes/NYT/company-people

The economist is very profitable:
https://www.economistgroup.com/pdfs/Annual_Report_2021.pdf

And lastly, (while I'm sure there are more), I believe Conde Nast has said the New Yorker is also profitable.
I’m a bookkeeper for restaurant…Auto-gratuity is subject to sales tax in NY. Unsolicited tips are non-taxed.
I believe this misses the point, as does the article. The "American Dream" was never about blindly working harder on the same things in order to achieve a state where you no longer have to work.

The dream is that through bettering yourself (education, skills), applying yourself to the myriad opportunities in our society (Business, religious, NGO, etc), you can find a niche in which you excel and create a better standard of living for yourself and your children.
Intent is there, people talk about it openly.

>because it's a cluster system where the equivalent of k8s scheduler was run offline to resolve various performance and deadline constraints, both between specific application threads on the cluster, and between devices on the AFDX (modified ethernet) network that are managed from said cluster.

Oh, I genuinely didn't know that! I assumed you were just talking about something that had been manually hand-optimized by syadmins/developers, like a traditional Unix server room.

Can you share any more information about these static cluster schedulers? It indeed makes perfect conceptual sense to me with your explanation, I just had never heard of this being actually used!
Because most people don't want to be tracked down, harassed, or forced out of their job because they said something someone took as offensive to the wrong people.

Relevant excerpt from the article:

"Patreon has been one of the odd exceptions to the rule. The platform’s iOS app has been able to accept payments outside of Apple’s in-app purchase system, which lets the company walk around that 30 percent cut. Conte suggests this may be allowed because users don’t come to Patreon to discover creators and content. “A lot of the actual engagement is happening on other platforms ... So it’s just not the primary behavior that’s happening on Patreon,” Conte said. The Verge has reached out to Apple for comment."
I have noticed that biggest inhibitor to my work is having to deal with other people's bullshit. If my manager doesn't really listen or isn't interested (or just fakes an interest) in making things well I kinda my lose motivation too to bring my best. Just being a monkey to churn-out half-assed code is what I hate the most and deteriorate my productivity too.

I can really pump out code with my own projects but doing the same to finish a bunch of nameless JIRA tickets isn't really the same. What do I get for providing some corporation more value? A pat on the shoulder? Hah.
Dishwasher detergent is a different animal from the liquid detergent people use for washing dishes.

It's not the only "game in town".

I once washed a load of dishes in a laundry tub filled with a pretty strong concentration of Mr. Clean floor cleaner in hot water.

They came out squeaky, sparkling clean, like out of a dishwasher, without any scrubbing.

(Why I did that is that the dishes fell victim top a drain backup: vertical stack clogged somewhere below my floor, causing other people's black, stinking drain water to start coming up in the kitchen sink, and it soiled a bunch of dishes that were in the sink. I had to resort to something strong and anti-bacterial to feel good about those dishes. I still put them through the dishwasher, too.)
> Having spent a few years following feminist discourse a while back, this doesn't work because the idea that patriarchy hurts men too is only permissible as a way of demanding that everyone treat existing, women-centric feminism as already solving men's problems without having to think about them or, indeed, really treat men as people.

This is complete bullshit.

Not to say that you can’t find this way of thinking; it certainly exists and gets disproportionate play from anti-feminists to whom it is convenient, but it hardly exhausts, or even typifies, feminist thought.
> This is to say nothing of the fact that VSCode is the most popular editor on the planet and that the very notion of allocating several gigs of ram to embed a web renderer ( one that is constantly having to be patched for the annual round of UAF vulnerabilities ) in order to DRAW TEXT is the very height of inefficient idiocy.

If you just want to draw text, you can simply use Notepad or Notepad++. VSCode has a lot more functionality, though.
+1. `strace` can be very helpful here, to see if a process is stuck waiting on something or whether it's just zooming along with no output.
Well DID spec doesn't tell us to put identity or related keys in public. DIDs coupled with the VC model (https://www.w3.org/TR/vc-data-model/) allows identity credentials issued by any "trusted" issuer to be validated. Here trusted means whoever the user trusts, be it government or big tech or anything else.
Critical Race Theory is affecting both our children's education as well as the military. And the media is playing games right in front of our faces. Here's just one example:

In Step 1, he explains how to create a cryptographic identity- the private public key pair.
I came across an argument that a number cannot be property or owned because you can't legally own a number.
If this is true then you can't own UTXOs associated with a private key or a cryptographic identity.

I do think that bitcoin is fundamentally too complicated to understand, mathematically, for most people- myself included. I would argue everyone needs to do this exercise, from scratch, and also understand what they are doing (the math), to have confidence in bitcoin payment network. Anyone who thinks you don't need to get it is most likely in it for speculation alone.

With something so abstract like bitcoin, it has a much larger uphill battle for understanding than a physical commodity like Gold, the precursor of paper dollars.
Fussell calls this out in his Class. A marker of his lower- and mid-Prole and, to some extent, his Middle, classes, are that they're far more highly-surveilled and have much higher expectations for hard work and being on time and things like that than his Upper-Middle (and certainly his Upper).

Lower- and Mid-Prole: piss tests; written up for being five minutes late because there was a car wreck blocking traffic; doctor's note(!) required for a sick day; one week(!) of paid vacation per year.

Upper-middle: Microdosing or just, you know, straight up using illegal drugs with some frequency, possibly openly; "Car broke down, I'm just going to work from home (or take the day off, depending on how upper-middle we're talking) since I can't be in until noon, now, anyway"; "Mental health" days (that may be more "middle", actually—upper-middle may not have any need for the equivocation to placate others, nor ego-driven need to excuse not feeling like working with something quasi-medical); "I think I'll take my sabbatical this year".

(I'd say programmers mostly aren't, class-wise, upper-middle in Fussell's system, purely—they're a broad mix of upper-prole, middle [lots of middle], and upper-middle, according to the class privileges they enjoy and the norms that tend to be instilled in or brought to the table by programmers, and the mix of those varies a lot by industry and region)
You're right, maybe the 1% of kids this is affecting would be better off with one fewer parents instead. /s
DIDs are not meant to compete with ENS addresses. They solve different problems.
Governments may have a legitimate role to play here only because of the impact the Internet has on markets and competition. Perhaps the inevitable ossification/fragmentation will precipitate a bigger shift.

I think we will see a return to a non-commercial community focused Internet. Software built by developer collectives or open-source communities could very easily win users away from mega-corp software and the instability in user confidence could be the falling domino that triggers this new wave of Internet actors.
This reads to me as a textbook case for how not to handle conflict. It doesn't appear as though the author ever discussed this issue with the Racket core team or informed this Matthias Felleisen person, whom I don't know, how their outburst had been received. The author never explicitly states they had done this other than stating the facts are not in dispute and these events were witnessed by members of the Racket core team, who are going to be reluctant to resolve the conflict on the author's behalf without solicitation (that's human nature - conflict avoidance). If that wasn't done and instead the issue was taken public then it's likely to be perceived as an ambush. Now you're in a state where both parties are aggrieved and so effecting a reconciliation at this point is nigh impossible.
What about the self-censorship of our neo-cortex telling us not to insult other people? Is that bad too?

The worst kind of propaganda is that which makes certain topics taboo, regardless of merit. For instance, if your idea that propaganda is pushed in schools gains traction among the populace, the idea would then be associated with the "other side", either liberals or conservatives in our case, and would then mark you as being on the wrong team. Its a pernicious form of propaganda that has escalated with the last presidential election.

Hey, if there are ways to vaccinate either the carriers of certain diseases, the people who'd get affected by them, or even cure those that have gotten ill, i think it's definitely worthwhile to research it further!

I guess that's how we ended up with vaccines for rabies being airdropped from planes, which sounds a bit silly, but is a really interesting approach to attempting to solve a similar problem for populations of wild animals: https://globalnews.ca/news/5782966/rabies-vaccine-bait-drop-...

Though i'm not entirely sure how viable doing something along those same lines would be for ticks. I do recall, however, reading about attempts to genetically alter mosquitoes to make them more resistant to malaria, so that its spread would be limited: https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/enginee...

Maybe an approach like that could be viable for other types of diseases as well, without necessarily exterminating the populations of carriers, rather simply releasing modified specimens into the wild and letting them propagate the modifications through natural means.
The private schools in Los Angeles definitely push political agendas.
