I find it interesting that "derogation" (my new word for the day) means both:

* the act of officially stating that a law or rule no longer needs to be obeyed,

and

* the act of talking about or treating someone in a way that shows you do not respect him, her, or it,

according to [0]. If the shoe fits, I guess?

Trying to figure out how much technical merit vs. guerilla marketing hides behind a project's decision to use Rust is probably an impossible task. With Rust the two are intertwined, the language and the community have a certain militant attitude associated with them.

Looking at the complexity of Rust versus C and the very limited benefits one would get out of adding a few drops of memory safety into a sea of C, one has to conclude that technical merit alone does not explain this decision.

In any case, I don't think Linus will write another language rant after he had an epiphany about his "unprofessional" attitude. And if there's enough corporate support combined with some grassroots support, he's probably figured out that he'd lose that battle even if he were nice about it.

Marfa is in the middle of nowhere, the jobs seem to be of the landscaper/service industry type unless you are arriving with money from somewhere else.

Sounds more like a touristy set of rich estates at this point, I expect the laborers live in the surrounding area and drive into town just like a large city. I did some labor during HS and in the summer it was driving 20-40 miles from our small town in nowhere Texas for the jobs we did.

During the early 80's oil boom there were several small towns in Texas that kinda looked like OP's model, but once the boom went to bust they started dying and never recovered. Probably around the Austin area in the 60's a lot of places looked more idyllic (there were no stoplights between downtown Austin and I think Lampasas at that point), but it's all sprawled out and become a Metropolis at this point.

Not clear that any sufficiently attractive area would not end up being encompassed in suburbia or a high-end enclave (Westlake by Austin comes to mind).
Imagine if someone said I pay that guy 100k a year and I peeked at his computer and all he was doing was looking up the problem on Google and typing in a text editor!

It's not the typing or the Google search anyone is paying for they are paying for the usage of the highly trained brain that can evaluate what they are reading in the context of the hard earned skills and information possesses by the reader.

On the topic of the doctors I wonder how it would work out if we combined anonymous analysis of doctors work by other doctors with patients.

I agree. I got started with a CU because their service is so much better than any bank I've dealt with. There are nearly no service charges for normal things. I have access to a cooperative no-charge ATM network with about 30,000 locations. I can get in-person service from credit unions I don't even belong to thanks to a large partnership network.

A few years ago, we needed to buy another car. I filled out the loan application on my CU's website. Someone from the CU called me an hour later to tell me the APR and maximum loan amount, and to recommend a list of local dealerships that other members had good experiences with. The car salesperson did the usual "let me see if we can get you a better financing deal!" sort of thing, and when we showed him our loan paperwork, he stopped: "I've never seen an interest rate that low. I can't beat it. That's amazing."

I love my credit union and I can't imagine a plausible scenario where I'd ever go back to using a bank.

Anecdotal, but this is my life is now. What appears to be permanent focus issues, emotional regulation problems, and I feel like I’ve got something the size and shape of a dinner plate in my chest that barely shows up on x-rays. Some days I can’t feel it too much, but other times I can. Also I had a heart attack. I’m 37 and was otherwise healthy. I’d guess it probably took 10+ years off my life and really changed me. Who knows what the actual long term problems are going to be.
blue or green masking tape works great - dirt cheap and designed to pull off cleanly. I've had some on my macbook camera for going on 8 years now - pulls off for zoom calls and then goes straight back on.
Very true, and both sides are justified in their attitudes. You’re not necessarily better because you went to grad school, but you might have learned some things that you wouldn’t know if you just programmed cool stuff.

I find two expressions of this: over reverent attitude bordering on complete deference, and stubborn rejection of anything that sounds vaguely complicated.

Credit Unions (at least around here) have started being just as bad as banks to get any services from. I know a few people who got jobs and then "weren't a good fit" for the local credit union. They went the Walmart route.

I am so glad they are actively working on alleviating pain.

I know a guy who had horrid back pain. He was ok with opoids. He even admitted they reduced his pain, but he just felt better about life being on them.

His doctor just decided to not prescribe opoids for any reason.

We're the middle children of the history man, no purpose or place, we have no Great war, no Great depression, our great war is a spiritual war, our great depression is our lives, we've been all raised by television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars, but we won't and we're slowly learning that fact. and we're very very pissed off.”

This whole thing is a joke. I don't think any of us working as DoD developers give much of a crap what cloud provider you force us to use. But just pick something, anything. Quit switching the ground out from underneath us every couple years. The present state being the way it is, we're forced to be provider-agnostic to effectively everything, which means we need to stand up our own self-hosted services down to running our own Kubernetes engines and deploying our own NFS servers and database servers, and the only managed services we use at all are the ones to deploy the basic network infrastructure and VMs.

Linode can give us servers for probably 1/10th the cost of AWS or Azure if you're not going to actually let us use any managed services.

And people want to know why all defense projects are constantly behind schedule and over budget.
> The world is not ending - Its going to get by just fine

This entire school of thinking that has derived from a George Carlin bit never ceases to annoy me.

For starters the "world" as some abstract ideal that we find comforting only exists because our human minds perceive it and imagine it as such. Our planet is just a rock out in spaces with some complex chemical reactions fizzlingly along on the surface. There is no "mother Earth" that will still be around to enjoy the life that reemerges in millions of years.

And there really is no guarantee that it is "going to get by just fine". Are you familiar with the current hypothesis behind the End-Permian extinction? It's believed by some to have been caused by a super volcano that ignited massive coal veins around what is today Siberia. Now the scale of CO2 emitted in the End Permian was much more dramatic than even current worse case scenarios, but we're emitting about 10x faster than lava burning coal was able to do back then. The End Permian nearly did wipe out life on this planet.

We don't fully understand all the possible CO2 feedbacks. We're already in one of the top 6 extinction events on this planet and that has little to do with climate change.... yet. CO2 has played a surprisingly big role in most mass extinctions.

Now it's certainly a low probability scenario, but it is not inconceivable that the end result of our insane release of CO2 in the atmosphere could lead to an unrecoverable extinction event.

At the very least a startling percent of the current species on this planet will go extinct (because a startling number already have). Corals which have survived plenty of extinction events might be replaces with green slime.
A decade ago I watched a documentary about MEP explaining how it happens that crappy law is made in EU. MEPs are too busy to read and understand what they are voting for or against. Law they are discussing often has 100s of pages, a few of such per day. One of the "ACTA" branded regulation was 800+ pages and the document changed daily. MEP have armies of secretaries and interns who as supposed to filter the important content and feed it MEPs directly. In meantime MEPs have meeting with lobbying groups and have their regular duties. They usually vote for what their group is voting for, or, lobbyists.

Their models predict excess deaths from economically driven cold which compare marginally unfavourably with deaths from nuclear related dislocation.

Even if the model holds correct, the government's policy to shutdown reactors immediately was likely the right choice. Just in terms of number of expected deaths.

Two factors lead me to think so: aftershock risk and the possibility of systemic failure in the nuclear industry.

Also consider that a home entertainment room has a comfort and quality level that surpasses that of a typical budget [movie] theater (though I've been to a more luxurious theater that I would gladly pay money for even if I had a proper home theater -- it was that good).

What I miss by staying at home and watching a Netflix film is the social aspect, and after the past 14 months, I think people are hungry for that. It's fun to cheer when your favorite star makes a cameo, or sing along to a Disney musical. If someone could figure out how to market it, I think there's money to be made there.

Our CU lets you apply online. I've been to their physical location once in my life, and that's when a scammer stole my debit card number. I could either wait for the replacement to show up in the mail, or swing by their office to pick one up over lunch.
There's a key difference: if you build a building to resist termite damage, the termites don't retreat, plan their next attack, and come back with drills and wood saws to try again. Hackers are better modeled as intelligent adversaries than as forces of nature, because as attackers, they actively improve their techniques as the defenders do.

That means they won't be stopped for long by static infrastructure. And in the same way, "best practices" are a moving target, so they'll always be applied unevenly across companies at any given point in time.

In fact, the more economically damaging the hack, the truer this is: the biggest ransoms and the greatest national security risks are mostly caused by actors that employ dozens or hundreds of motivated professionals to find gaps in an organization's infrastructure. And that means the "force of nature" model is especially inaccurate when we weigh incidents by economic impact (which arguably we ought to do).

Wee know exactly one way of blocking intelligent, motivated adversaries from getting what they want at our expense. And that's to have at least equally motivated, at least equally intelligent folks on the other side who are continually trying to stop them. And that doesn't sound entirely unlike a fairly reasonable line item in a national defense budget.

Is this science that we're doing right now? No, this is debate in the service of a particular agenda. No one is stopping you from "looking into the bright side of the holocaust", as you put it, on your own time. There are plenty of holocaust "researchers" who question its place in history. I'm sure they would welcome your company.

But if you were to pose that question in the context of a discussion about a Holocaust survivor's fund, for example, then that's definitely not historical research you're engaging in.

Likewise, when you interrupt discussion about global warming with "maybe there are good sides", without providing any actual evidence for your supposition, then your actions have the effect of redirecting the conversation away from the scientific consensus and casting a shadow of doubt, on the basis of nothing more than speculation.
Thank you for the insight, I can totally relate to the situation. I had a pretty depressing entrepreneurship low which lasted a couple months, where I had to lay off everyone and was the only one left grinding, sleeping at the office, and putting every dollar into rent/expenses. In a Taoist kind of way, you have to know the lows to appreciate the highs. Best of luck to you on your business!
Healthcare makes only a marginal difference. The Roman Empire managed to last for centuries with no healthcare "system" at all. Public sanitation, and access to safe food and water, are far more important than quality of health care.
Obviously depends on the school, and how much grade inflation (or deflation) they've gone through. When I studied Electrical Engineering, class average was 2.8 or so. The few students that actually had anything close to a 4.0 were terrific students.

I remember in our real analysis class, the professor started with a comment (to the class) in the lines of:

"This is a demanding class. Top performing students usually spend 25-35 hours a week on the problem sets alone, and top grades are rarely awarded - some years there are zero A's. Please take the weekend to consider if you really need or want to take this class."

FWIW, this was no top University - but then again, grade inflation is not that bad in STEM, from my experience.
There's currently a landslide going on WRT OS vendors and privacy, I wouldn't call any "slippery slopes" a fallacy at this point.

One exam was really hard such that your new grade was sqrt(#correct/#total). Another was to make new total the value of highest correct score, e.g. everybody in class got 0-20 out of 100, new total is 20.

In one of Asimov's books, The Caves of Steel, he talked about how Androids run all of the farming equipment on Earth to feed everyone. I don't remember the exact line, but the reasoning for Androids running regular farm equipment was that, in his universe, it was just way easier and cheaper to build Androids that can use all the same tools humans can, instead of building automated versions of all the tools.

The other interesting tidbit was that the vast majority of the world was farm land. Humans lived in huge cities with tons of verticality. This was because there were too many humans on Earth - a whopping 9 Billion.

Of course, Anthony Kenny countered Russell’s assertion by humorously noting, “ It is extraordinary that that accusation should be made by Russell, who in the book Principia Mathematica takes hundreds of pages to prove that two and two make four, which is something he had believed all his life” (Aquinas on Mind, 11).

Russell also misunderstands much of Thomas’s project in this quotation. To my knowledge, Thomas never claimed to be doing philosophy (at least not according to the modern understanding of it); most of his work is theology that happens to have philosophical implications. But as Thomas notes in the opening articles of the Summa Theologica, theology as a scientia takes divine revelation as its first principles and makes rational deductions on the basis of that deposit of revelation. Importantly, however, it pursues its ends using particularly theological methods and criteria, some of which overlap with philosophical methods and criteria, while others do not.

But the starting point of theology is Anselm’s “Credo ut intelligam,” not Descartes’s Cogito. To imagine that theology is just some poorly-conducted version of philosophy is fundamentally a category error.

Can you recommend one of those breathing trainers? It sounds interesting.
"You need AC", "You need cars" ... I lived for 4+ years in Phoenix, Arizona and I tell you that humans can live without those two things with the right design. We're way too far into the modern way of thinking that we almost take these things for a given ... It's a huge blindspot. I grew plants here in the desert, I lived without AC, I never had a car and all of this when everything around me has been designed in what I think is the worst way possible ... People think in linear terms but forget that managing heat for example should be approached holistically as different element will augment each other ... etc. It can be done with low tech and there is research to back this up (look up "urban heat ASU").
