...actually most Israelis are of middle eastern descent
The Western financial elites thought they were exploiting cheap Chinese labor by promoting outsourcing of manufacturing - it would make for far greater profits.

Meanwhile the Chinese were exploiting the West's myopic focus on quarterly profits to gain access to and experience in fabricating and designing the top western technology.

The scale of this strategic blunder by the Western societies will be considered of historic importance.

The analysis in this article brings that into focus as well as anything I've yet seen. If the West does not rapidly regain focus on the things that matter -- real manufacturing, engineering, and AI (not consumerist opiates for the masses) -- we are soooo screwed.
as I see it, it comes down to ownership.

Something about treating something which ain't yours (such as a software system with millions of lines of code) as if it were.

Something about maintaining a complex software system which you are responsible for, but somehow are never allowed to make simpler for your own sake. You are only paid for work which increase the "value" (money, profit, whatever) of the real owners of the business. It's not really worth their money to pay you to make your own job easier.

> Quality happens only when someone is responsible for it.

The easy way for this to happen is to be able to own, really own what you do. This just doesn't happen in the 'software industry'.
Also lots of previously vaccinated people were exposed, but didn’t get infected.

Doesn’t mean their immune system did nothing though. I’d wager a lot of UK population basically got an ”organic 3rd vaccine dose”. My prediction is they have probably the highest immunity rates in the world atm
yup. they are installing trackers and justifying it with nearly inconsequential losses. patriot act all over again.
Can we be OK with comparing things without assuming they're being equated? GP never said gold medalists have it as hard as veterans. Comparison != equation. Taking someone's comparison and elevating it to an equation is a strawman. (This fallacy is so common it deserves its own name. Is there one?)
Anyone knows of a internet/website blocker which has an API or similar available?

Would like to chain my time-tracker to it so that it only enables some sites after I invested X time for something productive. All which I know sadly only support basic rules (pomodoro, schedule).
> People who have more resources under their control to secure food and shelter in the event of major catastrophe will fair better than those who don't not… some with quick thinking in the event of major catastrophe will fair better than those who just run around screaming and panicking… etc.

I'm not sure if you understand the impact of environmental change. Entire ecosystems will collapse, species of animals and plants will die. It's not an earthquake. It's the gradual warming of the planet. Humanity as we know it may be eliminated. Nobody does well in this scenario. Earth is relegated to a dead and dying planet for the bacteria. I'm not convinced with the idea that pockets of humanity will proliferate living in small tribes, deep in caves and that somehow this is an optimized collective outcome of our individual choices.

> If you think it is the individuals role to place the burdens off society on it's sholders above all else, I'm afraid we're never going to share the same perspective esp when comes to intricate matters of the eurodollar system…

It's always been individuals and marginalized groups initiating pushes to better society. Disabled Americans had to fight for rights in the American Disabilities Act. Same with African Americans and civil rights. Same with women and the right to vote. They did it because nobody else cared. Do you not have shared humanity with these people? "Not my job to be concerned with them, they'll make decisions and I'll make decisions and some will do better than others, and whatever way that turns out to be will be the result of each person's optimized individuality."

When the dollar collapses, it will be the working poor and marginalized people affected most.

Your post seemed to start with criticising security being in charge of customer experience, and seemed to end with proposing changing the entire shopping experience to avoid theft.
I have posted elsewhere in this thread about the reply of "anti-Zionism" which you will find whenever someone complains about anti-Semitic attacks and prejudice in places which are very much not Zion. If it's not anti-Semitic in intent, it's monomaniacal and inappropriate to the point where it's anti-Semitic in practice.

>then there's no reason for it to *not work great with anything else
Isn’t that a huge portion of the bills passed? Except the horizon is ~5-10 years.

Think about lack of progress on building a sustainable energy model, protecting long term social safety net, ensuring long term stability of the country, investing in multigenerational building and infrastructure practices.
Sure, there is many: https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/interactive/20...

"The Israeli Defense Ministry must approve any license to a government that wants to buy it, according to previous NSO statements."
The problem is making those predictions. I'm not sure anyone out there is able to decide 'this business is a net good only do that' and come out ahead without stumbling just as much.

That's pretty much a game of predict the future, get it wrong on economy scale and you don't have anyone doing anything not according to plan... you can / will get a disaster even if you get it right here or there.

And I'm not sure that's the point anyway. China could simply ban "clicking heart icons on photos" and wipe out domestic demand outright, and as far as risky financial deals ... China seems to have no problem with that.
Well, that’s dystopian!

If they’re going to all that effort, allow the end user to lock and unlock the friggin tools too!

I’d happily pay more if I could bluetooth tether my power tools to a few cell phones.

Tool theft is a huge problem for contractors and home owners, and this would put a huge damper on it. I guess reducing theft after it leaves the store would interfere with planned obsolescence.
We don’t actually know why anyone in power does anything. One thing I do know is we as the West need to figure out how to come together and defend democratic and liberal values, as without them we are seriously lost. We should start by not giving any more money and technology to a Chinese state that clearly do not have our best interests at heart. I think the west is in real danger of just falling apart over the next 50 years if we lose our reasons for existing and instead spend our time arguing about cultural issues. We spend so much time right now looking inward at our small differences we can’t see the reason why our nations became worthwhile in the first place.
In my eyes China is a technocratic autocracy, not a dictatorship. This would explain the hypothesis why they want their brains to work on rockets rather than ad tech, as OP assumed.
This is great to see and I hope it’s a very successful enterprise! Since this is a novel enterprise and I think there is some appeal among architects and consumers, it may be worth carving out some marketing moat with a registered trademark and perhaps an icon. While they aren’t your customer, the whole supply chain would be pleased to use your materials in their projects- so anything you can do to help them brag ultimately helps you.

> It seems like this would just lead to businesses who employee non-exempt employees hiring more of them but scheduling for fewer hours to stay under the 32 hour threshold.

... I mean that's kind of the point, right? The AFL-CIO rep quote basically says that it will spread the existing hours around to more people.

There are also some cases where companies have few enough qualified candidates where they are already paying overtime, and this will not significantly affect them. For example if you are working 56 hours a week, then you are currently getting paid for 64 hours of labor (40+16 and 1.5x) and after this you would be getting paid for 68 hours of labor if you continued to work 56 hours.
At what point do individual freedoms / economic freedoms (eg starting a company that builds addictive non-productive platforms) inhibit human progress? Perhaps China is right on this one.
I think it's just the inevitable direction of a few trends. Technology is increasingly being adopted in schools, e.g. Chromebooks in classrooms, online and hybrid learning, submitting homework via the web, etc.

At the same time, kids are getting cell phones at earlier ages, and "cell" phones have already evolved into general purpose computing devices which are becoming essentially required for modern life.

Eventually, I think it's going to be hard to justify requiring students to purchase specialized calculator hardware when everyone already has a cell phone.

As to whether or not it's a good thing, who knows.. But the hypervigilance against student cheating only exists because of the outsized focus on exams. College Board clearly wants to prevent cheating on the SAT so they can retain their position as the gatekeeper of college admissions. But perhaps final exams and standardized tests aren't the best approach to evaluating students, in the same way that whiteboard interviews might not be the best way to conduct interviews.
wait until you see this asshole move being pulled to find a bug in production code under time pressure their team has failed in the real environment by being given out some thousand-lines long printed code from the development branch.
What worries me is that the stagnant wages have been caused by globalization making our labor relatively unattractive compared to the rest of the world. This will only make our labor more unattractive, accelerating the loss of our dwindling manufacturing base.
~100 years is a pretty darned long time by labor standards - i think when talking about changing labor standards, anything more than 1 generation is practically ancient. If you live in the US, the pre-40 hour work week era never applied to you, or your parents, and maybe even your grandparents.
I once talked to a CEO who expected and wanted an important piece of software to be rewritten every few months so it could use the app framework du jour.

I wonder how many other shops there are where implementations aren't designed to last long, especially in web development.
> I would allow it to, but something is off about claiming to be stop hatred but turning a blind eye to jews.

If they are true to enforcing their guidelines equally, then I should not be seeing 84% of anti-semitic posts still spreading around on these social media websites.

Either it is open season on 'hateful content' so that we can see who posted what and why, or everything gets banned entirely and every post is policed with 'guideline checks' everywhere.
Yeah I agree with the FB part but Netflix? The chinese audience consumes huge amounts of video content.
You're kind of reinforcing the point though -- now you've got a whole team distracted by picking up a new language....why? how is it a good use of anyone's time? And it'll be a perennial training issue in the case of an esoteric language, because those team members will eventually turn over as well, meaning that you don't get to avoid either hiring or training a new person on it.

If it's just one component, implemented by a single dev, it really can make more sense to understand what it does and rewrite it in a language that's common in the company.
Have you used a lot of power tools? Because power tools get beat up and every anti theft mechanism I’ve experienced becomes the weak point of tools. Back in the late 90s Milwaukee started putting key locks in the saws. My dad constantly have his saws “repaired” cause the lock would slide closed and be unable to function, he started taking them apart and removing the mechanism. That’s anti consumer. If it will be the reason your tool stops working, it’s anti consumer. If the lock ever turns on when you don’t want it to, it’s anti consumer.

Also, Home Depot calls out on their repair site that they do not repair Bluetooth enabled devices, that’s anti consumer.
The lack of calibration is ultimately due to a lack of consequences. If security guards are bound by the law, in the way that police officers are currently not, then I'd rather have security guards using force than the police.
> it doesn't have background playback

Good grief. Just cut out the dead weight like those dreadful "originals" and youtube music
When synagogues in the UK are being vandalized with swastikas, when residents of New York and US citizens are getting beaten on Fifth Avenue, and people lament these things on social media, that is not an appropriate time to criticize Israel's action as a country. Yet this is the norm.
Assuming you are correct, does that mean it should be impossible to criticize Soros? A group of radicals dislike him, therefore he is beyond reproach?
Nice catch! I'm orignally from Norway. Heimdal is the norse god of foresight. Something the world needs in buckets when it comes to climate change.

Our experience so far has been that the environmental angle has been sufficient to persuade. Cement companies are in a bit of a bind given the attention to their sustainability efforts. However we're pitching ourselves as a cost competitive solution. Depending on geography we'll be able to positively affect their bottom line through the carbon credits system. Under the European ETS for example, they reward companies that reduce emissions (https://carbonmarketwatch.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/...)
For something like a cathedral, having it take a long time is a feature. Of course you could slap something of the same size together from prefab concrete blocks and some 3d printed stuff, but you would "just" get a soulless building with no effort from the faithful invested in it.

A real cathedral is a monument for the ages, bigger than any individual who worked on it. Something for entire generations to pour their effort into so that at the end of construction you can say: "my grandfather started building this, my parents worked on it, I worked on it and during the time of my great-grandchildren this building will still be as magnificent as it is now".

Trying to build it as quick and cheap as possible is simply not the point for a cathedral.
so first of all, I'm going to say that I agree with you in that antisemetism is a problem that predates the creation of Israel. While I disagree with the motivations for its founding, I understand why it happened given the sheer impact of the atrocity of the holocaust. It should never happen again.

I personally feel that should apply to everyone. No group of people should have to bear with an occupation and genocide. With that, Its a bit disingenuous when I see how israel treats the palestinian people. Here we are talking about internet memes that are antisemetic. I agree its a serious problem but at the same time, we have mainstream media which dehumanizes palestinians. Its close to career suicide to advocate for their rights if you're in the media. These people live completely annexed to an open air prison. For them a 9/11 type event is a tuesday.

You can hold two ideas in your head of course. But when it comes to what I focus my attention on. One side has funding and an active branch advocating for their humanity. The other is being systematically oppressed RIGHT NOW by an active miltary force.
Isn’t it still Q3? Are these forecasted numbers or are they Q2 numbers reported in Q3?
Writing these comments is also not applying your time with maximum impact to our civilisation. This metric feels perfect for armchair analysis.
Every road having a toll is your idea of the future? Or am I misunderstanding something.

Podcast host here. Andrew Kelly, creator of Zig shares the back story behind the creation of Zig: Why he created it, how he created it, leaving his job to work on it full time and why he is confident he can build a language that is better and more popular than C. Let me know what you think of the episode.
F# has a feature called type providers that make this sort of bookkeeping between the database and the code less tedious, but even if you mess it up, static typing still gives you more safety than dynamic. If your code blew up because it should have accepted an identifier it didn’t, you know that the code has not been written to handle that case and can fix it. Alternatively, you can just choose to ignore this, and do what a dynamic language does. There is nothing stopping you from being dynamic in a static language, passing everything around as a map, etc.
> how economies work or how wealth is created

Could you point me to your preferred sources for this info?
Correct, they're completely irrelevant. Of all the affronts to computing freedom, anti-cheating is the worst. The truth is the online gaming model where we play with untrustworthy strangers is completely broken. We should all be playing with friends we can trust instead.
Completely agree with that. Sounds cynical, but if people didn't have some unsoclicited opinions on Jews, something would be wrong and it would be time to keep an eye out for real danger.

It also is the safer bet against censorship.
The research around shorter work weeks and productivity indicates "units of work" don't work that way.

https://www.npr.org/2021/07/06/1013348626/iceland-finds-majo...

> Now, research out of Iceland has found that working fewer hours for the same pay led to improved well-being among workers, with no loss in productivity. In fact, in some places, workers were more productive after cutting back their hours.
This is the second time I've seen the link above. And while I agree with the premise, the author clearly does not understand how to properly use the `Maybe` monad (a term that does not make an appearance!).

There is little use in wrapping a call in `Maybe` to then immediately unwrap the result on the next line. Doing so isn't really using the construct... One would expect the lines following the creation of `Maybe` to bind calls through the monad.

In the end I see almost no meaningful difference between their "Paying it forward" example and simply utilizing an `if` to check the result and throw. In essence the author is using a parse and validate approach!
First step in this?
