I'm not claiming to have gone on an extensive cheese-tasting tour of the Balkans, and I'm certainly not claiming that my palate is as refined as that of the cheese goddess.

However, I have had feta cheese in the Balkans outside of Greece, and however unrefined my palate may be, I know that the statement that "You can't make feta that tastes like feta outside of Greece" is untrue. There's nothing special about the artificial political boundary between Greece and Albania that allows the sheep that graze on one side of the border to produce milk that makes good feta, while preventing the sheep that graze on the other side of the border from doing so.

About lobbying: when one political body repeatedly petitions another political body, that's commonly called "lobbying." The Greek government pushed for years to have feta cheese recognized by the EU as a product that can only be produced in Greece. It had to fight court battles and lobby the EU Commission. Greece now pushes to have the EU write the "feta" cheese PDO into trade deals. If you object to the word "lobbying," I don't know what better word you'll find to describe this.

If cities actually make efforts to accommodate cyclists in winter, it actually ends up being quite practical and the temperature isn't really an issue. Montreal is an example of a city that has made efforts to do just that and has seen a huge increase in winter cycling.

The reality right now for most cities in Canada is that the cyclist is relegated to making their way through slush and snow filling the bike line while cars zoom pass spraying them with more slush - of course, people don't ride their bike in those conditions.
I won't challenge that assessment, but both of them seemed to favor a system of minimal government in which neither could bother you.

Compare that to the much more benign-sounding "community organizers" and various other busybodies working to get to a government position which would give them enough power to wreck your life. Even for me, it's hard to feel as strongly about them as about MP, but they are in fact worse.

>People in businesses don't want to write specs because they're worried about being blamed for them being incorrect.

I don't think it's just that - almost everyone (in my experience) finds writing specs especially boring work. With other boring work you just find someone who really likes it and pay them enough to do it for everyone (thus accountants, auditors, health & safety managers, etc). But the spec really needs to be done by someone who knows a particular domain well to have any real worth. So you can't easily farm it out.

Your math is wrong:

* 0.25% of 100B is 250M, not 10M.

* 2.5% of 100B is 2.5B.

OP's math, if you believe the assumptions, was right. Of course, the value of money goes down over time, since there's less time to spend it. I would rather have 10M at age 25 than 10B at age 80. One of the downsides of startups is you need to go through a few before you get to a successful exit, and as you point out, unicorn exits take a decade. 250 startups to wealth would mean you'd be wealthy long after you were dead. I'm not sure it's 250 startups, but it's also usually not 1.

OP was wrong about Facebook having a hard time beating 1M per year. I know plenty of people at FAANG above that. It's competitive but not impossible.

As for me, I'm making a modest salary (less than you make, most likely) at a job where I'm having the time of my life. I do impactful, meaningful, interesting things with all of my life. It's hard to beat that. Money is a means to an end, and if you're already there, it's not rational to optimize for wealth.

The only downside is possibility of loss of job, but if my job had the equivalent of tenure (e.g. I could keep doing this for the rest of my life), I wouldn't worry about money at all. But money has risks too.

Again, it's against the law to abuse the legitimate interest provision, but enforcement is rare.

Conversely I think most people who were the most vocal cheerleaders of the anti virus measures were so vocal precisely because it didn't require them to change their life - stay at home introverted shut ins basically.
OK. But this is a problem with the legal system then. If you give people legal rights to sue that they can't actually exercise because it costs too much, then that's a different problem from giving them the legal right to sue in the first place.

You're basically saying "no-one should get any legal rights at all because rich people will always win any legal dispute". I'm not saying you're wrong. But it's a different problem.

But I never blamed Docker or Redis. I blamed myself because I was careless for not fully understanding the implications of what -p did at the time.

And that causes the problem that the parent describes: greater variability makes it harder to find useful patterns.
The European datasets are essentially useless because they lack diversity. So you cannot make any generalisations. You need a highly diverse dataset to start looking for patterns of expression in subgroups to draw any meaningful conclusions.

Just to add to this. I work adjacent to a lab developing forensic kits for black South African populations. The kits developed in the US and Europe don't really work on Xhosa or Zulu populations. This is incredibly important due to the high levels of gender violence in the country.

> Unfortunately when he and the original team left and more people joined GDS / departments started to develop their own services a lot of direction and momentum was lost.

If this is true, then it proves everything that comes around, goes around. My first ever professional web development job was rebuilding the England and Wales Housing website[1], which was around the time that gov.uk was beginning its work to bring all central government online activity into the one site. The resistance from Government Departments - who all greatly value their semi-independence from the clutches of the Cabinet Office (and HM Treasury) - was immense!

I'm glad gov.uk won that fight: allowing each Government Department to have its own online presence, and their individual policies and procedures surrounding that presence, can never lead to a good outcome for people who have to access and use government services online.

>> People in businesses don't want to write specs because they're worried about being blamed for them being incorrect

True, crucial point. This also explains a lot of developer behaviour. Specs are kind of like legal agreements. You can shake hands on a deal, and that works as long as things don't get adversarial. If things are adversarial, highly specified contracts are what you need. What you can achieve with one isn't like what you can achieve with another.

Sharechat app which is very popular in India (160+ million active monthly users) was first launched only on Android in 2015 and the IOS app was launched as late as May 2019.

what if I dont have smartphone?
I fully agree with the addition that personal interaction can make waiting for 15 minutes acceptable if a reasonable explanation is given. I can accept that something has gone wrong if somebody feels responsible and apologizes for the mishap. It might even develop into an occasion for a welcome chat with restaurant staff.
For instance, I recently visited a newly opened restaurant at its 2nd day where we had to wait for the food very long. The server apologized and talked about the challenges they've encountered, and gave us a free soup with bread.
This can still be annoying if you are in a hurry. However, we were not and so it gave us the opportunity to get in touch with the new staff, increasing the likelihood of us going back there.

In a non-personal QR code setup, on the other hand, responsibility is shifted to some bureaucratic process which is nothing but frustrating.

As noted in the article, most/many people do not go out for diner to quickly buy and consume a meal, but to spend nice time with people.
15 minutes waiting time spent chatting with a waiter or with each other even has the potential to contribute to a positive experience, whereas 15 minutes setting up your smartphone definitely does not.

> Europeans are not clones

In terms of genetic diversity, yes, they are. I don't know where you get your opinion from, but in science, the more representitive the scientific sample of the population is better the statistical analysis of that population. A European/Asian only dataset it not representative of the actual human genetic diversity.

The great benefit of docker is, that you can replicate the exact same environment on a number of different machines. So the developer on Windows has exactly the same database version and configuration as the production server. Especially useful if you use some extensions or external modules for your database.

If you host something serious and you don't need special builds of databases it is probably better not to use docker. But it's a bit more effort.
It’ll probably come gradually, without any sudden jump. More and more people will switch over because of convenience, so most of the market left will be there for higher quality products, and then they’ll ban the most egregious factory farming that isn’t being used anymore, and so on until only the most boutique animal farming is left, at which point no one will care.
The value is in the rest of usecases that don't need that much of a performance boost. I think it's great that easier/higher level abstractions can be leveraged for most business logic/usecases (using Rails/Django/other frameworks) and teams can dig down and bypass those abstractions for the few endpoints that they really need to be performant of (like this article describes).
That was the case decades ago. Since then consumer culture has exploded the quantity of garbage and plastic has turned it from in principle biodegradable to lasting millennia and poisonous.

Mountains of garbage like the ones in India didn't exist. Soon they will everywhere if we don't change our course.

I hear "working smart" a lot and I think it's a bit of a fallacy. I think choosing what you do for a living or work on isn't particularly smart; it's just common sense. Find me any expert in a given field and tell me they didn't spend years honing their skill.
DuoLingo is alright for very light language practice but it gets frustrating very quickly. Some examples:

1. About 25% of the time it's asking me to type out letter-by-letter the meaning of a sentence in my native language. So I'm learning Czech and it'll give me a sentence like "Ta moucha seděla na něčem zvláštním" and present me with a free-text field where I have to write out the English version. The other way round (making me type out "Ta moucha..." in Czech) I totally understand but this way is really stupid, not least because...

2. The expected translations are often wrong or inflexible. In the case above it wanted me to write out "That fly was sitting on something weird" - but I had written "That fly was sitting on something unusual" which is a perfectly valid interpretation of the sentence, but because they basically did a strcmp() I got it "wrong". Another example I remember was particularly bad because of the content of the sentence - "Tuhle větu jste opravdu nepřeložili příliš dobře", which I translated as "You really did not translate this sentence very well" (I'd expect "didn't" IRL but because I know how dumb DuoLingo can be I went with the simple version). The expected meaning was "You really did not translate this sentence too well" which is pretty clumsy IMO, and it's like they're taunting me but they're the ones who who didn't translate it "too well". I've dozens of these, there's seemingly no way to report them (I can see discussions but there's no way for me to participate)

3. There were enough lessons and material early on to give me the impression it was worth paying for the service, but after a couple of weeks I realised that I was being served the same sentences over and over. Now I understand there's value to spaced repetition, but what I'm experiencing is beyond a joke.

It's a really polished app in some respects, but in some areas where it really matters it's as useful as learning by copy-pasting into Google Translate.
Crazy limits though. Here in the US, the limit is so tight one friend with a swanky apt can't even pay rent without wire xfer.

>With sufficiently good tweezers and a lot of patience you could reassemble a human being into a bicycle of comparable mass; and vice versa.

Considering that there is no material distinction between a living person and a dead body, I would say that this view is perhaps overly reductive. The matter of the body is essential, but not sufficient; life is fundamentally a process driven by autopoietic processes, which you would need to initiate in order to have anything meaningful.

Being is uninteresting without becoming, state without change is just dead.
I think the idea that work should always be engaging and meaningful is a harmful fallacy that is setting young people up for failure.

Even the greatest rock-star or sports celebrity spends the majority of their time doing hard, repetitive or tedious work leading up to their moments of glory.

I personally find that when I set my expectations appropriately, and find ways to link the tedious work to a larger goal/milestone that I am at least somewhat invested in that it helps with motivation. It doesn't have to be finding the cure for cancer, it could be hitting your sales goal for the month, improving the customer experience, or saving up for a new electric guitar.

Another trick that helps is researching things you are going to need for upcoming work, before they are urgent and become a dreaded deadline. It's kind of a mind trick to say to yourself "Hey, I'm looking into this stuff because I'm interested, not because I HAVE TO". I've done this for school exams and work related projects.

Failing that, there are other time management strategies like the Pomodoro technique.

Obviously there are limits and it's not a bad idea to pursue more meaningful work,but it shouldn't be a frequent pattern.

Regardless, engage with your manager as suggested, show that you are trying to succeed and hopefully you will find a solution together.
I think part of the problem is that car manufacturers do an extremely good job of reducing noise inside the car. When I'm driving my car, I scarcely hear the noise around me. If I'm running alongside the same street, though, I need noise-cancelling headphones just to hear a podcast. As long as manufacturers can limit the effects of the noise on the driver, there is little incentive for them to limit the noise to the environment in general.
