do what others hate because you get paid more for it.

So very true.

I see top management, up close, spending much of their time handling stupid/obnoxious tasks nobody else wants.

I see a friend reap considerable wealth by dealing, literally, in garbage.

I see $minwage jobs filled & paid because nobody else wants to.

I’d write software for free. It’s the absurd deadlines & requirements I get paid to deliver on.

I see the “income inequality” issue as a matter of most people not willing to do - and those who do get paid well.
I read the original WSJ. I guess the tricky moral question is: were the investors partially culpable for the crime, or blameless victims? You can say "they should have been more diligent" but are you equally willing to apply that standard to ALL fraud victims? Example:

You moved into an unsafe apartment building that collapsed snd killed you -- "too bad, you should have checked it out better! The signs were there."

Bernie Madoff ran a Ponzi scheme and paid early investors with the funds of later ones. The early people who benefited from the fraud were forced to disgorge their "investment returns" and some of that money was returned to the later ones. So was that "justice?" Should the whistleblower have gotten some of that?

Not easy questions. Don't be too quick to take sides.
TV manufacturers are responding, often clumsily and based on their self-interest (data collection), to what consumers want.

Trying to find a dumb TV is like trying to find a car without a built in radio. You're welcome to leave it switched off.

Smart TVs are dumb if they aren't connected to the internet. Some may be slow. Some may have a poor interface. I'd worry about solving for that rather than expecting manufacturers to cater to a very niche group.
Having $1M (or even $2M or $3M) 40 years in the future is not FU money. Not to mention that if you are unemployable anyway due to old age, you do not need to say FU to anyone in the first place.
You’re describing social democracy, which was the post-war consensus. As we’ve seen, it decays over time because it is still subject to capitalism’s basic contradictions. The tendency of the rate of profit to fall is not prevented by social democracy.

A lot of what is commonly believed about socialist countries is in fact propaganda by capitalists. Most of the actual problems were and are caused by being under constant siege by capitalist countries.

Socialism is the process of the working class gaining state power and overthrowing the capitalist class. There will still be contradictions and problems, but with planning we at least have a chance to solve them. Leaving it up to markets or the dictatorship of a few capitalists is admitting defeat from the start.

There’s a massive gap between “disaster” and “Great Filter”.

Even if we do everything wrong and burn all the fossil fuels that exist on this planet (releasing enough CO2 to make us noticeably dumber as well as melting all the ice caps and glaciers), that’s unlikely to knock us back further than the dawn of agriculture, when we had a population of 1-10 million, compared to the population bottleneck possibly caused by the Toba catastrophe when there were 1-10 thousand of us.

Even if you take us back down to 10,000 humans, way worse than you should expect even in a nuclear war, after one or two hundred thousand years the CO2 will be gone. We’d get back up to at least as far as the early Industrial Age in a relative blink of an eye, though further than that would require a different path, one without fossil fuels, because those wouldn’t have regenerated over that period.

GreenTriangle | Software Engineer | Remote/Europe | Full Time

GreenTriangle makes farming financially viable by helping farmers manage the volatility that is inherent to the industry. Our customers, some of the largest (re-)insurers in the world, help those farmers manage this volatility by insuring them against agricultural risks. We collect high quality yield/claims data which is essential to providing crop insurance products. Then, we correlate this data with signals obtained from satellite imagery and use machine learning, so that we can predict volatility and, ultimately, price and settle insurance products. We started in 2017, currently serve all big names in France, and are launched in Europe, Ukraine, Uruguay, South Africa, and a host of other countries.

We are hiring a software engineer remotely, anywhere in Europe: full of energy, passionate about building product, and excited by our mission and our team. We are looking for somebody with a Computer Science (or related) degree:

I did this back in college. I had a Perl script that takes in a text file (before markdown) and generate a static one page site for local small businesses. I started with $250, depending on complexity. Ongoing maintenance was $25 a year for domain registration/server maintenance/etc, plus extra whatever they want to add. I was making a good profit, but getting customers was my issue. I cold called a lot of shops and even handed out my business cards to other shops.

Wait. Is it the trick with the Help window, that had Open file dialog, that had Open folder in the context menu, which essentially launched explorer process and effectively logged you into the system?

That's why charities ought to be small, local operations helped chiefly by local volunteers and only secondarily by donations.
OK, I understand you all are being utilitarian about this, and I appreciate the perspective.

And it's unfortunate that this guy lost his job, and he might also have a hard time finding new work because he's a snitch.

Now, this is a bit tangential to the article, but I'm having a hard time accepting that our financial system is so blatantly corrupt that individuals within the system are expected to behave poorly, and we rely on cash payments to root out crimes. It doesn't sit well. Am I being naive?
That's easily verified to be false. For example, [1]:

If sunspot activity is a meaningful driver of global mean temperature, why is global mean temperature increasing steadily [2], while sunspot activity has maintained its 11-year cycle [1]?

It should exclude everything, because the legislation is nonsense.

a) People have always had the right to do whatever they want with their property

b) They didn't have the right to perform unsupported repairs and use unauthorized parts if they wanted to keep the warranty. This was always known, or could be known, to all buyers at the time of purchase.

Now you get the fake "right" to screw up a product and then send it for free servicing or parts replacement because it's under warranty. What happens next?

Of course, the manufacturer will raise price or exit the hostile, centrally planned "market".

Where do political parties find all those idiots to vote for such destructive legislative acts?
The entire selling point of pair programming is that your copilot would point out errors like this, not introduce them.

Pairing works when you either pair two strong programmers or pair a strong programmer with a weak one. In the latter case, the main advantage is that it's also a mentoring opportunity.

Copilot has invented a pair programming situation in which your partner constantly introduces dubious code you must painstakingly verify, but is itself incapable of being mentored.

I think people take a lot of risks here: a lot of people would be dying of starvation if they did not have the safetynet. But yes, agreed, people do not seem to want to go all out. I think you need some existential panic to excel (depending on your definition of excel of course), but I am not religious so I do not want existential panic or any type of risk really. And I guess most people have the same feeling here. Just playing risk yourself is no risk as there is the safetynet, but once you start witb other people their lives, it becomes different.

Where I was born, everyone has money and people are generally modest: do not need ferraris or whatever so they just want a happy relaxed life. And that is very easy to get here. I worked very hard since I was 15 as I wanted (and have) (not ferraris but travel) more, but I was never interested in money or fame that can get someone kidnapped. I believe if I lived in the US, my parents would have sent me to Stanford or something and things might have been different somehow. I will never know: I like not having stress, at all so no regrets.
i said general aviation, not commercial aviation; commercial aviation has a better safety story by _every_ metric, by a large margin. general aviation is a lot of small airplanes owned by the 'driver'; akin to 'flying cars' ;-)
> I have conflicted feelings about this. Is it really a "mistake" if you don't understand some subtle context about artwork that would not be clear to the casual reader either? Or, as an art critic, is it your responsibility to be aware of all these subtexts, so you can educate your readers about them?

I think this broadly depends on what role you view art critique as having. In the opening paragraph, the author does a great job (IMO) of outlining his perspective:

"As a critic, I’ll suggest that I can sensitize my readers and listeners to what they didn’t see or grasp or apprehend when they witnessed the same art or performance."

If you view critique as a way of exploring new perspectives, subtle context can be one of the ways in which a critic can help add to the conversation surrounding a work. While it's not necessarily a critic's responsibility to understand every piece of background info at every moment, it's also understandable that a critic might view their own omission of a particular piece of context as a failure to provide additional insight that they believe they might have been able to contribute in a review, especially they view the goal of their critique to be that act of "sensitizing."

> More broadly, does great art have to be immediately striking and accessible?

Part of what Rodney might argue here is that it's not necessary for art itself to be striking/accessible, but a good critic can make such art accessible by virtue of dedicating themselves to the understanding of "subtle contexts."

> If a piece of art resonates only with people who share the artist's context (like the mentioned punning pronunciation of "boy" in a given dialect), can a critic lacking that context review it, or a viewer appreciate it?

I'd argue that context isn't a strict requirement for appreciation, but that it can often be a useful way to construct additional meaning, to find additional appreciation for a work beyond the initial appraisal. It's different for everyone, but I love art and art critique, and these are the ways of thinking that I've personally found bring me the most joy/fulfillment when thinking about art.
I'm not sad that we can fix the problem without stunting people's quality of living tbh.
15 grand is enough to live off of... for a year... if you're frugal, have no debts, and your amazing thing doesn't require any startup expenses. It's not enough to make risk aversion meaningfully less important. I suspect most 21 year olds would still do the same things as they do otherwise, just with a marginally better lifestyle.

On the other hand, I actually like this idea. It would help people escape abusive situations, and I generally think it's fairly ridiculous how we ask young people to live on so little money while educating themselves. I just don't think it would cause many people to "go do something amazing".

The is a big problem with Stack Overflow as well, which causes exactly the same issue.

Questions answered 10 years ago have an accepted answer that was right at the time, but it's no longer the best answer. If a better answer was made 5 years ago, it might have a chance to at least be voted higher by now, but often the current best answer is simply too new and has only a small percentage of votes compared to the others.

In a lot of ways, it's likely to be a self-reinforcing problem, same as SO: someone chooses the recommended code -- which "works" but is not the most efficient, uses deprecated API, or worse has a security vulnerability -- and this trains the algorithm to think it's a good answer and recommend it more.
This is quite interesting. I wonder, why this was decided to be too advanced. In my uni we teach it from the very beginning.

My problem with youtube isn't their recommendation algorithm, it's that they ban and censor so much of the content I want to watch. Youtube and the major social media outlets have turned into broadcast TV over the last five years. I use it for "how to" videos, and that's about it. I find a higher concentration of interesting/intellectual content on other platforms.
