the people who already have a faith in rationality do not, by and large, appear to be learning about complexity theory on their own. Mostly they are stuck in reductive modes of thought that have already been outdated for almost 100 years (in the sciences).

Individualism isn't a viable route to collectivism because holding out for everybody to become rational actors is just as much magical thinking as thinking that laws will fix misaligned emergent incentives.
The fact that vaccination rollout and infection rates overlap to the normal flu season cycles has no relevance then? That we aren't at 50% yet have seen the numbers go dramatically down prior to reaching half vaccinated, there must be something else contributing, yes?

Adam Ragusea actually just did a 2 part video on growing his own bread from scratch in his backyard. Part 2 just came out a few hours ago.

Spoiler :P it definitely took way more time an effort than buying flour from the store and making bread. And the final product was a pretty poor loaf of bread because he couldn't find a way to buy the same type of wheat most farms use and had to settle for "animal feed" quality seeds.

Always use UTC is not overrated.
It is true, it may be overrated if you don't store time with your date or don't have a datetime type in your database (that makes me think WTF).
You are always better using UTC to store dates if you have a datetime type.

I can't help but to see this two ways at the same time. 1st this is totally what we should think and do in terms of moral standard and 2nd this in international law is the perfect vehicle for all kind of end-of-humanity scenarios. Feed this into an AI and it will find the optimal solution to this problem (which might not include human existance anymore), or give this to a lunatic politician and he can use it for his war of aggression. The intention is good but what is the balancing power? How much human life is worth how much CO2/*? And who are the judges?
Economic downturns also result in higher rates of crime, both violent and non-violent and we've also been in a bit of an economic downturn. I remember the murder rate in Jacksonville Florida skyrocketing during the housing crash in 2008-2009.

As long as the developed world continue to not appreciate labors in the rest of the countries and gatekeep IPs, evironmental resources will be exploited as, well, resources. Why would they do otherwise? Would anyone care about the future a century away when they can't live a life today? Are capital investments immune to the clause or they will assume responsibilities (probably not imo)?

I don't think it's realistic to think that human judgment can leave the picture after the first deploy. New systems are fragile, requirements change, and mistakes happen. A certain level of trust is required in the founders of a project. And generally, they have long-term incentives that are aligned with your own.

It doesn't even need to be that fancy in practice. It's just the simple fact that you now have to pay real money, even a trivial amount, to contribute to the discussion that keeps out a huge amount of low quality content. It also disincentivizes bots and abuse (too costly), and can help with serious threats/issues as there's a paper trail to some payment processor somewhere should authorities ever need to get involved (not that there aren't ways people get around that, but it's just more speedbumps against trolls).
It's implied that the block is ONLY for traffic TO A FROM B; via R (router) (with R having the chance to aggregate? Maybe based on owning delivery paths that are valid?).

Full quote: "- Routers will accept a "shut up" request. If A wants to block B, it sends to a router on the path, the router pings A to validate the source, and then blocks traffic from B to A for a few minutes. This also contains DDOS attacks. Routers can forward "shut up" requests to the next router in the path, for further containment."
I obviously understand this better than many of the experts then.

The buyer of all apple stock gets a claim to all apples future profits (and control of the corp). This happens regularly - all sellers selling when businesses are taken private. In general, this results in a premium to present value, not a discount. And even if the price went to zero, I still end up with this profit generating asset.

What crypto people don't understand is that the constant LYING (!) undermines their arguments.

We understand how banks work. FDIC insured to 250K, you can do an ICS or other accounts to spread your cash to get FDIC coverage for about $100M of your balance. For most folks that is plenty of cash insurance for funds if they need it. If not, buy 13 week t-bills.

What you totally fail to understand, is when someone says something is backed 1:1 by a related asset, then when someone buys item A, the issuer needs to be 1 unit of the related asset. This is not complicated math. This actually happens all the time in the real world. Even the title to my vehicle even is backed 1:1 by my vehicle.

Even your "successful" 1:1 backed crypto is likely anything but that, and yes - when the run starts, we will find out how bad it is.
Case in point: Albert Bridge in London [0]

> Nicknamed "The Trembling Lady" because of its tendency to vibrate when large numbers of people walked over it, the bridge has signs at its entrances that warn troops to break step whilst crossing the bridge.

He has done deliveries the last two days for a total of 5 hours 25 minutes on a trip vs 5 hours 32 minutes online. Total $149.54.
The most necessary pedestrian bridge near me has what look like metal gutters running up and down the stairs. In fact they mean when you dismount a bicycle it becomes fairly easy to go up and down the stairs pushing your bicycle.

The at-grade crossing there is closed for up to 40 minutes per hour, because the railway carries both freight (to/ from a major port) and passenger trains. If you're in a vehicle too bad, "Long Queue. Turn Engines Off" as the signs say but if you're on foot the bridge means you don't need to care too much about that.

You might be wondering: Why isn't there a road bridge? It's an industrial estate, so any road bridge needs to carry large goods vehicles, articulated trucks and so on, which means a fairly large concrete structure with up and down ramps occupying a large footprint and there's nowhere to put that. It's also next to a tidal river, dig down and it'll flood, further into the city they just tunnelled the entire railway under the park, but that is not cheap.

I've heard that Obama was reluctant to push harder for a public option because the health bureaucracy is such a massive employer. If true then we're basically dragging along a counter-productive boat anchor that eats a ton of our health care spending as a back-door jobs program.
First, the article doesn't describe any causality in either direction. It's simply stating that minimum wage workers are now even more poor now than they were last year; and, more importantly, got poorer faster than we expected them to. Second, a double-fistful of municipalities raising their minimum wage within the last year could hardly have caused significant motion to inflation at the national level.
I've always imagined the appeal process to be "we ran it through the computer again and it said the same thing".

I don't disagree, but just because something isn't sold for >0 money doesn't mean it isn't in the market. Google is very much in the "search" market even if they do not make revenue directly from you the end customer making the search.

Giving something away for free and monetizing something else still means you are in that market.

With ecommerce the worst you can do as a seller is take out as much money as the credit limit on the card. Which for most people is in the low thousands.

Its really really hard for a company whose ultimate goal is profit, to give up opportunities to do so. Its just not gonna happen. You can have all the ethical people you want, but people change and it takes just one "smart" engineer/product manager to realize how much money is on the table, then use that to grab power and get the same changes everywhere.

Relying on people doing the right thing is an unstable equilibrium. IMO the only way to really ensure this is with regulations and compliance controls. Laws like GDPR and CCPA have to be followed by the business.

I think for a monopoly to exist, a single private entity needs to wield significant power over the conditions within an economic market; to the significant detriment of other entities which are also economically dependent on that market.

Regulation helps capitalism work for more people, and keeps our society healthier. It's a good thing.
Oh, interesting. I was the guy correcting you on M2V from earlier. We actually agree with like 95% on our stances.

Bitcoin is bad because it is a deflationary currency, you just made that point so we can move on.

With the Federal Reserve setting artificially low interest rates that causes M2 to expand(which causes M2V to drop). That M2 has to go somewhere, and as money is not neutral, it goes based on the utility of the person who owns that money. You just mentioned neutrality, so we're in agreement here. That money causes the value of _something_ to rise, it has to. Whether the thing that rises is consumption items that affect the CPI or in stocks is up to the people who have the new money.

This devalues the existing cash, and anyone who keeps cash is being feeling those effects. Anyone who pulled money out in 1971 and hid it under their mattress has been wiped out. The only alternative that these people have is putting it in other assets. The two main asset classes to pick from is housing and stocks. I hope I don't have to explain why housing is also a deflationary asset, and the only sustainable future we have there is a Land Value Tax.

So let's look at stocks. The bulk of the money creation is coming in the form of corporate bonds, which the Fed is artificially holding up. They take those loans and buyback their own stock. We can see that the Stock Issuance vs Stock Buybacks has been negative for the past decade[0]. That's right, over the last decade the amount of stocks - the core value holding of the World Economy - is not only not growing, it is shrinking. Stocks are also deflationary.

This explains the winners and the losers. This explains why prices are flat. Why buy more than you need when the utility provided in the future by buying stocks will keep getting greater and greater over time? This explains why GDP is rising only very slowly. There is no returns in actually taking a risk in creating value. Why work when you can just sit on your stockpile?

Like you say it's not addresses, it's implementation-dependant "lines" that may or may not be coincident with cachelines. False invalidations are absolutely a concern. (They're a concern already for CAS loops, which you need e.g. to do arbitrary read-modify-write on atomic-sized data. Hardware transactions only magnify these concerns.)

Independent media across the globe and across political spectrums have reported that China has locked away >= 1M people in concentration camps.

I think you'll have to ask a philosopher, if evil is a transitive property :)

But my two cents is

(1) NO!

(2) War is not the solution.

Honestly, war is very rarely a good solution. Sanctions a political pressure might be better tools.

Oh, well everyday usage is totally fine (reviewing cards, adding cards), but some things are still a little weird, card types vs note types for example, but that comes up rarely enough that it doesn't bother me.

Maybe I'm just tired of apps that get more and more bloated and slower year after year, while the ui gets changed to "simplify" things and become less usable as a result.

But anki has mostly stayed the same, it's fast, responsive, does what I need it to do, almost never crashes, etc. It's also been a daily routine to use for literally years, so it's sort of soothing. Yeah it has some rough edges, but they don't come up very often.
I think the article is referring to the way introverts vs. extroverts think.

The work is always going to be collaborative, that is a given and the purpose of teams, but the shift right now is that as data and tech becomes more prevalent, the old times when extroverts governed by mere non-technical skills is going to wane in importance, because everything could be automated and quantified, leading to less room for human BS to climb the corporate ladder.

As the article mentions which I totally agree, communication becomes more important as you move up the ladder. But here is the key: it is easier for a technical person to learn soft skills than for a nontechnical person to do the reverse.

That is why the combination of engineering + MBA is so dangerous. It is because introverts are not given/interested in the chance to rule, that we don't see it often. But for a future where tech is going to dominate almost every industry, a firm's survival is going to depend on introverts.

For those interested, I recommend reading the book "Quiet" by Susan Cain, it explains this pretty well.

Addition: So many variables have been at play over the past 2-3 years, there is no way now to be definite on one specific cause. Instead of jumping to A caused B immediatly, time needs to pass to see if a trend occurs. The statement can be right. But there are too many variables and events that have taken place to pin-point a single cause. More than likely it is a combination of causes. But time needs to elapse and a trend to emerge.

And you boil all that down to 'JS is trash'?

> JS = a single threaded event loop, ON PURPOSE. That directly affected Node.js as an implementation.

That's not a criticism. It's not different to desktop app dev where you try to keep your processing away from the main thread, only it provides an easier interface through async programming. Synchronous = main thread; async = other thread.

Amazingly intuitive model.

What!? I can build C in Lisp as much as I can build any other language. I parse the syntax, create machine code, and output a binary. How the hell do you think languages are built? How do you think C was built?
