I'm not deeply familiar with the arguments, but it does seem to be pretty hand-wavey at this point, apart from the criticisms of the existing paradigm. But it's generally worth keeping in mind that there was a time when the case for the status quo was similarly hand-wavey. There was a time before modern policing, and it's not inherently silly to think that there could be a time after it.
This is hopefully just a temporary solution though. What happens when these places get rich enough that their birth rates also drop?

For most countries, you can get access with a job offer. Countries are not against people who can get employment where they have shortages.

But a "bare human" is barely employable which is how he turns into a liability. ie: immigrating more people (randomly) will generate a negative return at least in the short-term.

It could be that media corporations are in cities, which have become strongly leftist in the last few decades. The rural areas simply haven't had the density of human organization to create a reliable corporate media.

Another theory is that reliable corporate media is stocked with university graduates, and universities have also gone left.

For the developed world, where a lot of the wealth coming in is capital returns from global corps whose ability to generate wealth isn’t constrained by local population size, that just means you need to tap that more effectively. It’s a problem for the payroll tax model of social support funding, perhaps, but unless you are emotionally attached to that model, I don't see that as a big cost.
I don't see anyone either. Perhaps Bloomberg. He seems to have run NYC better than most. That said, he was on the finance side of things, not industrial, so I'm not sure how sympathetic he would be towards the interests of working class Americans.

We need someone who understands capitalism and favors markets but also knows when to control the markets and not allow them to sell us under the table. Someone who understands their responsibility is the American economy and its people and not how well companies do in China or Indonesia or not. Yes, sure, we need foreign markets and they need us, but we should not cave in and let them limit what we can do in their country but then allow them to do as they will here. It has to have some reciprocity. We also need to take into account labor laws and environmental impact when assessing tariffs.

I realize that. And that was the point I was trying to contradict: that you shouldn't make arguments about life experience either way, without having quite a lot of it. Because sometimes, a thing that you might intuitively think is one of those "only rich North American people have it" things is actually something possessed by the vast majority of the world, and so is a very bad example — a counterexample, in fact — of people being in different life situations.
Honestly I don't know what I am going to do with this. Right now, it's very early beta. If I can sell it to a few thousand people, it's unlikely that I am going to open source it. If I can't, then I may open source it, though I probably won't maintain it...

Thinking about stuff is fine, but crime is a real problem, not an abstract one, and we have empirical data to show that pulling back on police patrol presence increases it. One of the reasons nobody takes "Defund" seriously is that it punts on the hard problem: reduce officer headcount --- and then what?

This gets batted back and forth where I live quite a bit, and the answer always seems to be "and then we staff up community mental health response people". But crime where I live is overwhelmingly not related to mental health response! You can't send a mental health response person out to respond to an armed carjacking.
It sure is tempting to think of heat as just energy. I mean it is. Of course. But the kind of device you're talking about is like Maxwell's Daemon. The article is talking about a step towards making an inexpensive thermocouple. These require temperature differentials, not just heat. And you don't want to be drawing power from the temperature differential in your house ;)

I think the solution lies not in more people but in more sustainability and shift away from competitive capitalism as an economic model. I genuinely think that it's inevitable. The great challenge of the next century will climate. We're on the fence right now between a climate-induced nightmare world and a post-scarcity economy where resource competition no longer drives global conflict.

OP is talking about what you could do using the built in Windows utilities, not what is possible if you write your own file copy-and-note taking utility (which some people did, like Borland Sidekick.)
"It's that the current use cases can be either replaced by preexisting less compute-intensive tech, or that the usage is just meaningless (gambling-like speculation, failed attempt at anonymity, tax avoidance, etc)."

The fact that you've binned all the usage into the "meaningless" category means you don't understand the use case at all. It's an alternative to the current hegemonic global financial system centrally controlled by the USA. You might think it's useless but plenty of people disagree and are using it in a meaningful way.

I have strong opposition on this policy.

1. No particular vaccine concern, have mine.

2. Yes. I am not telling my name and birth day for random person in public but now this is required for many public venue. No more being anonymous in public.

3. I have lowered concern, most people with vaccine have lesser time of it even with breakthrough infection. Or maybe better to say I am past caring.

4. All prior vaccine requirement (school, other places) have exemption for religios reason, personal objection, or both (varies by state). Compelling medical procedures is not a good thing ever. Saying that we have no compulsion is disingenuous if vaccine are required for restaurant, job, etc.

I am having objections not to vaccine but to compulsion to show government document before any entry to certain places. Public school fine, government worker fine, but government forcing proof before entry to private restaurant very bad from perspective of civil liberties and privacy. Also I have worries over changing requirement: already there are discussion that maybe a booster shot is required. I am fine with taking this booster shot but do not like constant moving goalposts. Maybe later government adds some other requirements for what somebody must do before allowed entry somewhere, the infrastructure for lineing up for getting scanned already will be in place.

People are downvoting because billpg essentially wants a perpetuum mobile, something that creates useable energy just from the presence of a high temperature reservoir. This violates the 2nd law of thermodynamics. Heat does not equal usable energy, what you need to extract something useful is a temperature difference.
Author here! I'm not arguing that software engineers should necessarily be paid in proportion to the end economic result of their employment. Although that's an interesting point for another article perhaps! Rather simply that companies tend to undervalue domain specific knowledge and forget how costly and time consuming it is to hire and retrain new team members. This should be taken into account when considering compensation structures to retain your top talent when considering the open market is always available to them.
> What would be ideal is if the heat energy could be converted into some other form of energy

That would be nice, wouldn't it. If you ever build a universe, you should definitely implement that. In this universe the laws of thermodynamics specifically forbid destroying heat, or converting it into something else.

Heat will naturally spread out evenly over time, but if we would prefer to do the opposite, moving heat where we want it (or away from where we don't want it), we need to use a heat pump which expends energy to do that, and that energy produces further waste heat which, yes, we also need to move. This is a core principle of how our universe works. Nobody is going to invent a new material that violates the laws of thermodynamics, for the same reason nobody is going to find an even integer that was hiding between 2 and 4 somehow without us noticing it.
Excellent point. I returned the TV and stuck with my old one, but now I wish I still had it so that I could test this. This seems like the perfect solution.

Generators are such a game-changer for clean separation of data traversal from data processing. It's my favorite trick in python and I miss it dearly in other languages.

In languages without generators it's easy to write code that traverses some data structure in hard-coded way and does something configurable on every node, but it's hard to write code that traverses a data structure in configurable way and does some hardcoded thing on every element.

In Python it's trivial both ways and even both at once.

There are other variables too. Soviet dictatorships were pretty safe, because they were totalitarian surveillance "fake it till you make it" "smile and nobody gets hurt" dystopias.

Theoretically the connection is sound (so I think it warrants a pretty solid prior probability), after all unwanted children lead to decrease in socioeconomic status, which is a very surefire way to have a lot of problems in life, and without a supportive family and state, the number of options quickly dwindles to illegal and not so great ones. (Basically the "not so great" option is that in the Soviet dictatorships around here - Eastern Europe - at least the full employment mandate meant that there was enough make believe work available to not starve. )

Pardon me for having a legal education and knowing that prosecutors are often more than willing to bend over backwards and squint through one eye.

If it's possible for a prosecutor to argue it, they will eventually argue it, and most of the time the courts won't push back.

Devs also leave after completing all the meaningful, interesting work and finding there is none left. It feels good to build and launch a product - or even add features that can have an impact on the bottom line.

Frankly I worry about the unintended consequences of decisions like this.

My university uses Google for many of their online services. Due to Google policies/recommendations, it de facto will not work on an Android Phone without Play Service, as IMAP is considered less safe and by policy is forced off, and since Google de facto makes it impossible for any app to use OATH outisde of Google Play[1]. As a result, I have no access to my University email on my Android phone, since I refuse to put Google Play Services on it (As an aside, it ironically works perfectly on my Pinephone).

My university also forces a 2FA App called DUO Mobile. In the default configuration, you are forced to use an Android with Googple Play Services or iOS app, and we were forced to turn it on. Thankfully someone was able to figure out it's protocol to allow it to be used on other apps [2]. For a while, DUO did not even support Firefox, so one was even then forced to use Chrome to sign in online with a U2F Device.

While the digital ID is introduced now as an option, it wouldn't surprise me that this will be forced on students in 5-10 years, and now by default, they need to buy an Android/iOS phone to attend a University, then are forced to the Privacy Policy of companies that they have no choice for.

Consequences of forcing Google or Apple on students aside, another unintended consequence I worry about is students who come from poor income backgrounds. One of my dear friends from college came from an extremely low income family who could barely afford to help her through college. She did not have a laptop because of the price, and used the computer labs on campus to do all of her computer work. She didn't have a cell phone either, also due to price. I get that a cell phone/cell phone plan is increasingly becoming a necessity, but I seriously worry about people for whom that is yet one more barrier to entry to college.

Because what GP is proposing is thermodynamically impossible. The second law of thermodynamics states that heat naturally flows from hotter to colder regions. You can't just magically convert a static pool of heat to light and beam it somewhere else with no energy input. It's like suggesting that we generate electricity by rolling stones uphill; it just doesn't make sense.
People are burning coal to mine virtual coins, so yes I am biased against that until I see any real benefit.

And what you call financial hegemony is only the corollary of the commercial interconnection between world's countries, and the fact that the USA manage the biggest lender bank ever (the IMF).

That would still be the same using a BTC-based IMF.
Do you actually believe that's borderline poverty?
I'm curious because I don't know how this works exactly, how much collateral do you have to put up to borrow something on a decentralized exchange? If it's less than 100%, how is it enforced that I ever return the money, and if it's more, why would I borrow if I already have the money I need? Asking in good faith.

Also if you plan to buy a house, a bank can give you a mortgage over let's say 25 years where information about your identity, income and credit history is used as a risk assessment, and the loan is backed by the whole existing legal system where your home can be repossessed if you fall behind on payments. You can get a LTV ratio of even 95% in some cases.

How would this work in a decentralized way ever? On the other hand, if you already have, let's say 500k in the bank to buy the house outright, why would you involve cryptocurrency in the transaction. The counterparty is going to probably want to receive their money dollars in a bank somewhere, are you sure that a bank is not going to ask any questions when you do your magic conversions to dollars from crypto and try to send someone 500k?

This doesn't integrate into the real world well unless the other person selling wants to receive crypto already and is ready to take upon all the risks themselves that transferring, accepting and holding cryptocurrency entails. At that point you don't need to do the conversion magic anyway.

Vetur languished for years without the resources it needed. From lack-luster type recognition to bugs that would just crush its performance. I believe it has just recently(within the past year or so) been taken up a level.

TSX support, and frankly JSX is the future of VueJS IMHO, also only really started working well with the addition of attribute namespaces to TypeScript.

So while these things have improved recently I would say language tooling has been really lackluster compared to the React ecosystem even 4+ years ago..
Another problem here is that DST is political, and under local political control. Politicians don't get why changes in timscales have to be announced well in advance; there have been cases where they were announced as little as a month before they came effect.

Some commenters seem to wonder why people care about the relationships between timescales, and how to convert between them. Well, contracts seems to be a good example. It could be vitally important to know, to the second, when a 200-year-old contract came into force.
