Model A: First seizure causes subsequent seizures.

Model B: Factor X causes many seizures in a sequence that, as sequences usually do, begins with the first.

Any reason they prefer A over B? Maybe there is some evidence of learning, or a statistical fact that is true of seizures causing seizures but not of factor X causing them independently?
Investing in a broad index fund will mostly have a return that stays above the average inflation rate over a long period of time -- if businesses are able to operate. The downside is that at any one year the return can be way below the average inflation rate.

The reason is that profitable companies can manage inflation and they will do it at a profit that's above the inflation rate. Also the compounding effect will in time beat inflation.

So yes, it totally makes sense to get a big 56.7k lump sum -if you can keep the owners from spending it on frivolous things.

One issue is coming up with the money. Where will the lump sum come from? It's much easier to come up with the $300 per month.

Another issue is that a group of children will never need to access the 57.6k until it has turned into a very large amount. While others will need to access as much as they can, as soon as possible, just to get their basic needs filled. Therefore expanding the wealth gap between the poor and the rich as adults. 57.6k at 9% could easily turn into 250k in 18 yrs. Or 15 million over 65 yrs.

Minimum wage jobs are a small portion of all available jobs. There are many jobs, even so-called "unskilled" ones that pay more than minimum wage. As a free adult, it is your responsibility to figure out how to make enough money to live in a way in which you're comfortable.
There’s a reason why the common refrain is “but what about high school jobs!” It’s much more palatable to believe that the main people working at this wage are children that don’t need the money, even though reality is much worse.

Is rent really a bell curve? In my experience it’s a very asymmetric shape, with the median (not average) being extremely close to the bottom of what’s available. In my experience the median rent is basically the same as the minimum rent.

But yes, average is the wrong metric here.
If everything was a neat tidy standardized set of TLDs, the PSL wouldn't exist.

But it isn't. PSL allows computers to understand political, social, financial, and arbitrary decisions that have an impact on security.

For example, uk.com has no legitimate right to be a TLD. But someone managed to get enough other people to buy subdomains that we have to treat it as such. If we refuse to do so, it harms end users and not uk.com.

The win is that you spend less processing power on elliptic-curve cryptographic operations. Just like (even if RSA didn't have all its other problems) there's a win to using ECC instead of X-thousand-bit RSA.

Definitely. I have a Steam Link and you can enable ssh access to the root account by simply plugging in a USB flash drive with a particularly named text file and rebooting.
You need to setup k8s first if you not on google-cloud which is what terraform is often used. and there could be some initial tasks which some might use ansible for. but once k8s cluster running you can manage it without terraform/ansible for the most part (you still might want to change master/worker node specifics, which you do with terraform/ansible/nixos/nixops/...).

I just watched it tonight, really amazing.

It had a lot more historical footage than contemporary interviews, I was expecting more contemporary interviews.

While the documentary does obviously discuss his suicide it doesn't really focus on it, something I was very grateful for. It's obviously present across the whole documentary, but, not in an overbearing way.

The documentary really pulled back the curtain and explained a lot about the history and production of his various shows and gave far more insight into who he was off camera.

The documentary also paints a very specific picture of why he killed himself. I don't want to "spoil" it, and perhaps i'm reading too much into it but it felt obvious to me.

Overall, really amazing documentary, definitely in my top few documentaries i've ever seen.

From a purely collectivist point of view, unchecked Covid only kills around 1% of the population and the vast majority are retired people, so it's not something society needed saving from as it has pretty much zero effect on humanity's long-term economic/technological progress.

GitHub Deprecation Notice: Switching from password to token authentication
I loved that guy, his writing and his shows. His end made me sad and it seems like an enigma. Perhaps he had everything material but felt isolated from meaningful human connections, like with his daughter. Undiagnosed/untreated depression, an existential dark place, didn't want to grow old alone, and/or didn't want to stick around for the way the world was headed. It's hard to say what goes on in someone's mind if they don't talk about it.

The problem with suicide is it eliminates all future good possibilities and it's likely that this is the only life.
It’s not a lack of transparency. If your manager tells you your performance isn’t up to the bar, that’s a clear enough signal.

I think I have a decently written response (to which you replied), but without disagreeing with anything specific, you decided to resort to a personal attack.

If the author's premise is correct, that privacy is a marker of class, then a conclusion drawn from that is more people will be striving for greater privacy.

TBH, the comments are more interesting than the author's opinion.

It's true that "privacy" from "tech" companies is not easy and could cost money if someone tries to replace every "service" that tech companies purport to offer with a supposedly "private" version. But is that the only way to approach "alternatives". See the comments.

What he is not considering is that luring users into surveillance with "services" ("let us do that for you") is neither easy nor cheap either. Arguably tech companies spend far more time and (investor's) money to lure users into surveillance and trying to collect ever more user data than I do to compiling and running different OS, using different software and actively managing a home network in ways that make personal UX better and tech company data collection and ad tech jobs more difficult. Plus I do not have to waste investors' money in the process or carry out instructions that require compromising ethics ("gentlemen do not read each other's mail"). Thankfully, when I spend time fiddling with computers I reap the results of my own work and follow my own ethics.

Got it. I don't know if all jobs can give such a wage. Perhaps we need to define what it would mean to live a minimal comfortable life. I think it's fair to ensure people get good opportunities.
I'm quite aware of the NVC trainers/certification. I'm pro-NVC, but I recommend everyone to stay away from the "NVC cult", which includes such folks.

I did not realize, however, that you had corporations utilizing them formally. That would really suck. Very reminiscent of agile vs Agile (TM). NVC is valuable only if you accept its principles - the NVC template alone is of little use. Mandating people communicate this way is very anti-NVC.

The book is quite good. The local chapters in many cities are definitely not good. They'll usually embellish and add a lot to the content in the book, and a lot of it sucks. I too would be very put off by NVC if my primary exposure had been through them.

Is something wrong with me that recently I stopped being excited about tech, products, disruptive ideas, making world better etc.

And just want to make money, as much as possible, don’t care how (as long as it’s legal).

Is it a good start for starting new project in tech world?

Because creating software products is the only thing i can do very well.

But except few small exceptions all my life I’ve been working for companies, exchanging my time for money, building software.

The article says that the various predictions are equally good fits because they don't diverge much by 2020. If in 1972 researchers came up with multiple models that all predicted pretty much the same thing over fifty years, but then wildly diverge over the subsequent fifty years, that alone is problematic.

Limits to Growth predicted we'd run out of oil by 1995, 2005, or at their most optimistic, 2022. Not peak oil -- out of oil. Similarly we were supposed to be out of gold by 2001 at the latest.

Food and services are both supposed to be peaking right now -- 2020 -- and going into rapid decline.

There was little reason to give credence to LtG even by the '80s, but by now it should be viewed with extreme skepticism.

Scanning through the book, this line jumped out at me: "If on average 5% of the population dies each year..." then the average lifespan is 20 years and humanity is doomed. That's their point, but I don't think that's how they intended to make it. That's just careless. They also happily extrapolated exponential curves for population, per capita gdp, etc.

Well, we see people and even political groups laughing at the idea of a virus outbreak that kills 100k even today, isn't it?

Well, it's things like say, an invoice number.

If the invoice numbers are in sequence, I just gained quite a bit of information about how fast you are selling things.

That's the kind of information leak that sequences can create.
I do understand that it's hard for single mothers to live on minimum wage. We do need to consider the implications of giving minimum wage to all however. Not that I'm opposed to it but just not sure if it will help majority in the long run.
I'm deeply pessimistic. The whole world (each in their own way) is basically saying "Yes, let's tackle climate change but you go first, I'll wait".
I think to be more precise, the headline should read:

"Minimum wage workers can not afford renting a two-bedroom home at fair market rent using 30% of their income"

That feels drastically different than the current headline.

And then everything would work normally.
Well, actually it's perfectly possible for an older patent to be broader than a newer and necessarily narrower patent. That is in fact the goal of writing a valuable patent. Even if only a narrow thing has already been claimed, but the spec enables something broader then only something narrower still can be patented after that publishes... otherwise it is not novel.

Of course not all prior art is in patents so any journal publication could also force narrowing of claims. Older patents are almost always broader... if they cover the thing you want at all.

Agree with sentiment but want to nitpick a bit. It’s unclear that the Roman Empire collapsed at all. Many Roman institutions lived on well past the 5th century and were assimilated into gothic Frankish Visigoth etc societies.
I thought the primary argument against it was that the alternative is unemployment. You're implying the options are to pay the same person high or low wages. I don't think this is universally accepted at all.
For many people they are part-time jobs and the minimum wage job is not a primary source of income.

For the rest, maybe instead of asking "How can we distort the market to force employers to pay more for labor than the value it produces?" we should be asking "How can we make more higher value jobs available to more people?".
While I agree that we need to not consider collapse a self-fulfilling prophecy, I have to object to that characterization of Chinese civilization: modern Chinese civilization (as in the People's Republic of China) has only been going on since around the 1940s. Chinese civilization over the years has not been one big monolithic entity, and there's been many examples of it taking many unrecognizable forms compared to today's Chinese civilization and even different forms of it during the long imperial period of its history: e.g. the three kingdoms, the Northern and Southern dynasties, and so on.
I understand your point, but I don't consider it to be "caution" so much as "accurate".

Scientists (and journalists) should tell the truth about science, even if they think it will negatively impact behavior. Otherwise they'll lose credibility later (see: CDC and "don't wear masks" ca. March 2020).
There are plenty of content restriction tools available, and individual parents know what's appropriate for their children better than a one-size-fits-all approach enforced by the government.

If Civilization collapses hard and fast I'm just going to go to a bar (or my liquor cabinet) have a drink and then put a bullet in my head. Maybe work in a round of golf too if it isn't crazy dangerous. Maybe one of the looters/revolutionaries/whatever they want to brand themselves as will save me the trouble and execute me on the golf course for being too bourgeois.

I'm not too worried about it. Most collapses are slow and drawn out.
