I find it curious that many of the comments here are talking about demographic changes and religion while signaling out Muslims and/or Islam as one of the primary causes.

There are plenty of other countries in the world that have economic problems where the Muslim population is insignificant.
Cost/benefit to whom? The disease according to all stats around the world primarily will kill those over 75 who are already ill and frail, under that age, which for most of the world is the AVERAGE life expectancy, the chance of death is near zero.

Avg death age in US from covid is 80. thats HIGHER than the life expectancy. I am not saying who cares about seniors, but, somehow we lost the thread that old people die, and that this happens and is normal.

edit

and that we shouldnt blow up the entire planet and inject everyone with experimental drugs just to save 10,000 over 80's
If someone walked away 15 years ago, what would they have missed if they decided to come back today?

I honestly can't think of anything fundamental. Mobile and single page web applications, for example, became popular in that time, but those only brought back the same patterns we were already accustomed to on the desktop, not some brand new paradigm that someone from 15 years ago could have never imagined and cannot contemplate now.

Perhaps you might have to spend a week or two catching up on the specific keywords used by the popular framework du jour, but that's not a hurdle in any meaningful sense.

Granted, someone from 15 years ago coming back to an "Agile" shop will run right back where they came from, as fast as they can, wondering what on earth we are thinking the whole way.
Years ago I was involved with some high performance delivery of a bunch of newspapers, and we used Squid[1] quite well. One nice thing you could do as well (but it's probably a bit hacky and old school these days) was to "open up" only parts of the web page to be dynamic while the rest was cached (or have different cache rules for different page components)[2]. With some legacy apps (like some CMS') this can hugely improve performance while not sacrificing the dynamic and "fresh looking" parts of the website.

In CA and NY the Supreme Court ruled laws baring religious practices as unconstitutional for one.

So, clearly there’s some issue there.

In LA they were shutting off peoples utilities for not following mayoral edicts.

The first amendment for peaceable assembly doesn’t go away — period — during time of crisis. Facebook has a portal setup where the CA Secretary of State is marking content to ban (court case is making its way through the federal circuits)

Arguably, the 9th amendment is being violated as it related to vaccine passports. https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/amdt9-2-1/ALD...

Good point. I think though that being a entrepreneur and especially a manager is a lot harder than it looks. There is no real reason why a coder or a comedian would be good at starting a company. Yeah being the boss looks easy until you actually have to do it.
Damn I love the Internet!
When a my 1980s Ford, my one friend who pays his electrical bill + has a craigslist-sourced machine shop can fix it from steel+aluminum stock, and also teach me how to fix it myself.

When something with power electronics breaks, my option is to buy new power electronics from a big company or trash it. My many friends with PhD/industry EE experience are unable to fix it nor tell me how to fix it with simple tools.

The complexity of the latter therefore seems greater in he colloquial sense than the complexity of the former.

I’ve seen this. It gives me so much heartache when discussion isn’t thorough, pre-considered and sufficiently conflicted. I know the right answer is to let it roll off and focus on what I can control, but I keep wanting to persuade people to examine options more thoroughly and it makes me sad when of course they don’t get it or respond with the successful-career-appropriate cynical unconcern.
Why would the airport CEO spend money to fix O'Hare that could go to his bonus? What are you going to do about it? To transition to a new airport entirely (like Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson did to O'Hare) will take long enough for it to be the next CEO's bonus that will be affected.

Off the top of my head SFO and MSP also have locally themed establishments, but ran by a single concessionaire.
I’m very much looking forward to the Centurion Lounge ending their ‘2 free guests’ admission policy next year. They’re fantastic lounges when they aren’t horrifically overcrowded and have screaming kids running around, which seemed to increasingly be the norm up until COVID hit.

By 2018 or so, I often began avoiding the Centurion in favor of Delta lounges just to have some space to myself.

You assume these people entering law school don’t intend to go into politics.

I suspect a large number do intend to make the laws.

Also it’s not entirely accurate that lockdowns are lawful. There’s been several Supreme Court cases that have limited what they can do in the past several months.
Amazing report. Some notes

1. Report is written by an internal committee of Credit Suisse

2. Archegos started as Tiger Asia, got caught doing insider trading, settled with US SEC in 2012. Then re-branded itself as Archegos, operating from Hong Kong focussing on Asian securities. Hong Kong later banned it from operating for four years. This lead to Archegos trading in US, with Asian ADRs (basically Asian securities, converted to US securities equivalent assets)

3. CS basically ignored all the risk factors associated with Tiger Asia / Archegos and continued providing them services.

Looks like they backed a bad player with bad reputation that was sometimes profitable and it came back to bite its behind.
Austin's airport does this as well, a lot of local joints. And the Southern Terminal even has a food truck.

Reporting on averages is fine but you've made the mistake of thinking that average is representative of anyone. In all likelihood salaries are not normally distributed around that average, and we'd instead find a low hump (rural) and a high hump (urban, suburban).

I get that you must be one of the people compelled to shit on the US at every chance, but "worst airports in the world" is a stretch.
US airports do not operate at the whims of the CEO. Most infrastructure investments are either championed by the airlines or by whatever government entity oversees the airport authority.
Another dilemma for website archival, then. It'd be cool the Internet Archive came up with some JS shim to render websites how they were supposed to look.

I think it is more of the standard ripoff pricing in and around NYC, which I assume is due to all the corruption and government debt.

I feel like facilities in that area are uniquely bad in terms of how expensive yet low quality they are compared to many other metros in the US.
It has some of the oldest airports in the world as well... they were some of the first airports to be build.
La Guardia, the posterchild of airport decay, is just recently being renovated, it was built between 1929 - 1939. Almost 90 years ago, and with a completely different volume in mid (even though it has had enhancements in the 50s, and 60s).

Same reason the NYC subway looks so shaggy, it was built in 1909.

Most of the glitzy airports in the asian, and arab nations, were built recently in the last 20-30 years.

If you have been in the Berlin aiport (the one in the east side), looks like crap too, as it was built in the 50s, and kinda just merely renovated. it has a very communist nostalgic and brutalist feeling though. It kinda reminded me Albania's old airport.
so your morality does not consider emotions? what's stopping you from eradicating humans from earth, because our species has disproportionately caused suffering on every other species?

If your parents spent a ton of money on you getting you educated and you got a degree in data science. Would you go work in a factory? Would your Chinese parents allow you to work in a factory? Remember china has a huge culture of being about face. They want to say “my son works as a neurologist” not “my son works in the assembly line at Foxconn”.

Most people in the west who get a degree as a lawyer don’t go work at McDonald’s for the next 40 years, despite the fact we have too many lawyers. They choose to not work at all until they can find a job with their degree.
Isn't this exactly what hashicorps "consul" can do? Specific services, and setup keys/certs so that all internal traffic is also 'blindly' encrypted? End point services don't care or know about it because it's transparent, but over the internal network it's encrypted?
I’d often wondered who the hell uses the Best Buy vending machines you often see at US airports.

Then I found myself in the same situation as you in an airport news stand. I think I spent a minute looking at the awful selection of headphones and earbuds before I decided to walk way out of my way to the Best Buy machine.
What about Page Layout / Color/Mono selection etc.,?
I’ve brought food through multiple times. They probably won’t let you bring in a cup of yoghurt or a can of sardines, but anything that isn’t liquid should be fine.
MSP (Minneapolis) does this too. Local brands have spots.

The folks running the airport actually manage selecting the establishments to make sure there is a variety of price points, types of places, and etc.
Bugs happen, it's part of software development and no one is claiming any products from any company are exempt from them. We're only humans and it's still mostly humans writing the tests.

But the bigger story is not about solving specific bugs but how to learn from them, to make sure they don't happen in the future. It's not about putting the blame on specific individual or teams for their insufficient communication or testing.

Spending 6 figures to go to law school for the sole purpose of entering politics is a terrible waste of money. The best way to enter politics is to run in a local race and convince people to vote for you. It'll cost you a lot less than that, and other people may even pay for your campaign. Once you're there, there are staff lawyers to help draft legislation.

> Also it’s not entirely accurate that lockdowns are lawful. There’s been several Supreme Court cases that have limited what they can do in the past several months.

The only one I'm aware of is an order that prohibited New York from imposing more significant restrictions on churches than shops. That's not a decision that lockdowns are unlawful; it's a decision that they need to be applied evenly. Are you aware of any others?
I think stagnation, or at least a change through successively smaller exponential regimes, should be the base case. I'm bullish on our future tech prospects and I know we have the entire universe from which to draw resources. But for all the real world cases of exponential growth, I think they are all limited.

And I only exclude collapse as a base case because I'm an optimist.

> It's a bit, uh, odd to complain about associating an idea with it's proponents

Not when they're non-representative proponents used to advance an inaccurate sensationalized viewpoint.

That viewpoint is completely opposite of the reality of people thinking about existential risks. The people thinking about existential risks decades ago would have been working on climate change. Now, climate change is in the mainstream consciousness, and though there still isn't enough being done about it, it hardly needs more attention. So it's also reasonable to ask, what problems will have mainstream attention many years from now but we'll wish we'd started working on today?
> I'm not entirely sure how tor does this without root priviliges

It's not really opening that port on the host. The kernel will never see a "Listen on port 80" syscall if you're running a Tor server.

Tor can also 'punch' through NAT just fine because it doesn't open any listening sockets at all - It only connects _out_ to the Tor network and then does the rest through its proxy system. The firewall sees a completely legit outgoing, long-lived TCP connection (or several) and has no idea that you're actually accepting connections inside the tunnel.

Countless remote desktop apps work this way, the same as a TURN server in WebRTC - Connect out to a relay, and pretend you're doing P2P by just shuffling data through the relay.

Tor is already connecting to 3 middle nodes [1] to act as relays, and the direction of client --> server connections and the port numbers involved are already totally arbitrary. With Tor you're either in or out. Once you're inside the Tor network, it's kind of like having an anarcho-libertarian ISP. Put what you want on any port, connect to anyone else. No traffic shaping. Run an open SMTP relay if you wanna.

It's equivalent to SSH port forwarding, sort of like a VPN in user space with fewer features. You don't get an IP address, and Tor only supports TCP connections, but you don't need any permissions because it's so abstract.

You could probably run a "server" on a crappy cell connection, or a Starbucks open wifi once you already have a relay in the cloud.

[1] The firewall will only see the entry node, though.
I don't understand UBI personally. In general it will have the net effect of dropping even more people out of the labor pool. Even with increasing population over the last 50 years the number of people participating is going down. Not as a percentage, but a number.

With that, things like getting a plumber will skyrocket in price.

I mean why should I fix your toilet if I can be at home playing video games right now? I'm going to have a roof over my head and food in my mouth either way.

Current UBI experiments don't have the experience of going 100% of the population, so there's no way to know what will happen.

SEA is the US airport I've been through most frequently, and I don't recall it being dreadful for food. Largely fast food style stuff, but there were multiple different options. Note - this is the international terminal, the domestic one could well be awful.
After being stuck in LHR for 40 hours due to alleged equipment isses, my layover in HEL was a huge breath of fresh air. Tons of personality for an airport. Made me want to go back and visit Finland sometime.
My girlfriend was a lawyer for a few years. Shortly after we met she went to a bootcamp for coding, immediately got a new job, and now (a couple years later) makes something like 4x what she did as a lawyer. Of course she was doing contract work for a small local firm, but that was the best job she could find in the job market as it was.

Absolutely. And is such a horrible metric because it let's in people who are essentially using their time to game the system instead of thinking deeply about programming.
Wow — before I finished reading your post, I said to myself, "it must be Aramark". I am surprised it is a different company, but not surprised that it's similar.
> It seems impractical to expect that you would be able to access all the relevant resources without going to the vendor's website.

I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to say here. Going to Google's website or looking at Chrome documentation is a lot different than signing a TOS with them.

And Chromium is Open Source, so I don't need to sign a TOS to test V8 changes or get access to Chromium features.

The only reason a TOS is coming into this is because Google artificially inserted one in front of an origin trial that realistically should be handled based on some kind of request header or at most as a signup form with a DNS check for owner verification. None of that should require a legal contract or Google account.
Most mediocre would probably be fair, I think.
You could make most of these issues go away by eliminating the TSA, but its union is so powerful now that we're probably never going to get rid of it. TSA employees are basically their own political welfare class.
You made a lot of good points but startin goff witht he wages = capitalism therefore communism has never existed kind of doomed your post. By that logic any sort of token exchange system is capitalism, but I think your definition is over-expansive.
It used to have it, they turned it off. I self-host my feed reader and a little Twitter-to-RSS gateway for a few accounts.
It sounds like your customer is dealing with low maturity staff and no amount of consultation is going to fix that even if they decided to pickup co-pilot which is also unlikely if they haven't picked up ctrl-r.
Not the same programmers though nor the same job though. The job of programmer-by-plugging-in-wires was still eliminated.
I think it's worse than that, as some of the bags they are holding are full of junk.

Yet they can't just throw them away, because their peers are not confident enough to support the conclusion that there's nothing of value in there. A litany of "How can we be sure that XXXX" are thrown at the expert to clear, creating continuous inertia.

The choice becomes to keep holding the bags eternally, or go elsewhere they can start fresh.

At 200k miles a year, your home is the airplane. Whatever you do outside of that is your travel.
It'd be really nice if "figuring out what you want to do" was a course you could take, external to school. Re-evaluating how to effectively spend your time is really hard to do, especially for those without friends or family to help them.

It'd certainly help those in extreme post- or pre-financial-independence situations find a motivator.
Craigslist has RSS feeds.
Most of my hundreds of spreadsheets are simple: rarely larger than screen with about 20 columns and 50 rows. Error creeps in with size.
Except, Google Reader died in 2013, and RSS lives happily on. It's rare I come across a website without an RSS feed.

They don't advertise it, but it's there - I presume because whatever CMS they use supports it (WordPress, etc).

It's not popular, and I do worry that what you state will come to pass, but I remain thankful that nearly a decade later, it hasn't yet.
I don't know about studies, but San Francisco has had an elected public defender's office since 1921. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_Public_Defender%... and http://hrlr.law.columbia.edu/hrlr-online/the-publics-defende... An elected office means they can more freely lobby for funding and changes in policy. OTOH, if the office is elected, there's a chance voters might elect a "tough on crime" public defender. https://www.kqed.org/news/11738958/only-sf-elects-its-public... (But see the previous HRLR article, which suggests that public defender office elections are rarely contested, even in moderate or relatively conservative states, which interestingly contain most of the few such offices.)
With the extra requirements necessitated by being behind the security checkpoints, I don’t think it would be possible to only have a 10% premium. If this were enforced, I think we would end up with no airport food that was remotely edible.

This left the outside crumbling off. I really do wonder what they were made out of and why it does this. Similarly the rubberized coatings so popular on mp3 players of the late 90's, early 2000's do this as well.

I looked this up a few weeks ago!

It's because the rubber-like coating (TPE, or thermoplastic elastomer) interacts with body oils, causing it to eventually degrade:
