Moore’s law is quite dead. Transistor density isn’t doubling. We’re still getting speed increases due to architectural improvements, but transistor density is capping out because thermals are a problem. That’s why you see these massive wafer designs and they’re not shrinking.
The remote workers sell their talent at the global market where the highest bid is likely to be way above what a local market can offer.

By the same reasoning, artists, writers, and athletes income should be capped too. Also, what is the alternative to the inequity? Collusion between the companies, similar to what was uncovered in the Google/Apple anti-poaching lawsuit? The state regulating the salary range, similar to the Soviets?

Remote employment at this scale is a new phenomenon. The market has not yet adjusted to it and reached the equilibrium. Likely, the salaries would reflect the global supply and demand more than the cost of living.

causing illness in the host after transmission allows more contact between infected and putative hosts thus conspecific differential of reproductive success.

prospecific differential reproductive success occurs when variations are able to generate progeny that themlelves are capabe of reproducing. i.e. delta variant sars2

evolution occurs when the properties leading to these phenomenon are genetically based and transmitted through populations at varied frequencies subject to differential natural selection i.e. the fittest as in most apt to survive to reproductive modality.

That's just one point; but note that the LGPL also ensures that users retain those rights.

Yet here is a difference between the GPL and LGPL.

A GPLed piece cannot be mixed together pieces that have incompatible licenses.

This is true even if the pieces are mixed together in a dynamic way that respects their boundaries, so that users can rebuild the GPL-ed piece from sources, make modifications, and slide the modified piece back into the combination.

This is part of the point of the GPL, and specifically that point which is relaxed by the Lesser GPL, which is called "lesser" for some ideological reason.
Check out marcel (https://marceltheshell.org), which does this exactly. E.g. to explore the current directory recursively, find files changed in the last day, and then compute the sum of file sizes by extension for the qualifying files:

ls -fr | select (f: now() - f.mtime < days(1)) | map (f: (f.suffix, f.size)) | red . +

- ls -fr: list recursively, yielding only files.

- select (f: ...): f is bound to each file from ls. If a file's modification time is within one day of the current time, then write that file object to the output pipeline.

- map (f: ...): f is bound to each file from the select, and mapped to a tuple containing the extension and file size.

- red . +: Group by file extension and sum sizes.

And shelling out from python is much simpler. Here is the same computation in python

from marcel.api import *

for ext, size in (ls(file=True, recursive=True) |
select(lambda f: now() - f.mtime < days(1)) |
map(lambda f: (f.suffix, f.size)) |
red(None, r_plus)):
print(f'{ext}: {size})

marcel.api imports functions matching the commands (ls, select, and so on), and the pipeline yields an iterator, for neat integration with python loops.

That is correct. If you want to redistribute a mixture of different program components as one program, all the pieces have to have licenses that are compatible. If any of them are GPL, then the whole thing will be GPL; all the other licenses have to be cool with being part of a whole that carries a GPL umbrella license. MIT and BSD pieces are this way.

>I gather that this would release some carbon back to the atmosphere (in both anaerobic and aerobic composting) but wouldn't it be a net capture?

You can sequester carbon with any kind of organic matter. As long as the compost product contains carbon, you'll be sequestering it. The only problem is that if you just leave it around, plants will eventually extract it for nutrients, which means it will reenter the carbon cycle. To sequester it long term you have to prevent it from being used by lifeforms, eg. burying it really deep.
> In other words: Houses are still way cheaper, in actual out-of-pocket terms for average people, than they were in 2008. Today's interest rates are way too low.

I don't disagree generally, but one niggle: housing prices do effect downpayment sizes, which may be a problem for people to save for if prices get too high (relative to wages).

Adjusted monthly payments are the cheapest they've been since 1989:

> It's not my burden to explain how. I'm not even sure why or how: it just is a widespread usage. I'm telling you it's also the widespread usage in my native language, and your answer seems to be "but Wikipedia!" -- go figure.

That's a fair point.

Actually that's a good question!

I've suggested an explanation already.

>> Someone tries to blur the distinction between "some random BS" (like alien abductions, flat earth, whatever) and proper theories that suspect some conspiracy. The goal is likely to push any conspiracy theories into the space of random BS so that they can be dismissed easily without further discussion.

It's also notable that the German version of the Wikipedia proposes two distinct terms to resolve the ambiguity in the usage of the more and more blurred term "conspiracy theory": "conspiracy hypotheses" and "conspiracy myths". But I wouldn't call those terms common in any sense… (Indeed, as a native speaker I've never heard of those).
Yep, it's funny to see people complaining about it when it is literally working as intended.
I did this after my last car died a few years ago, and I had to make the argument for myself whether I'd replace it or not. The numbers really don't work out (as you discovered) unless you're very directly using the thing for something that you can't solve another way. In my case, it's more like probably $90/month for gas, $190/month for insurance, probably $600/year on maintenance unless you're under warranty with a brand new car, and then there's taxes and depreciation that you immediately lose thousands to. Amortizing them paints less of a bleak picture, but again, you gotta be directly profiting with the thing.

Maybe you're already living in a walkable neighborhood, but for some reason you work nowhere remotely close and there aren't viable alternative companies or transportation options. Maybe you're constantly traveling (say 30+ times a year) to the mountains in a way that would surpass the viability of renting a car frequently. Maybe you run a company that requires the fastest last mile transportation and storage almost all the time.

Since then, I've used car share and rentals when I absolutely need them, and the numbers would have to be dramatically different for those options not to make more sense, because I do live in a city that prioritizes transit and other transportation options, and I'll do anything possible to avoid needing a car (as in owned) in the future. If my hobbies change significantly && my financials improve significantly, then that's where I'd reconsider.

>otherwise its just destined to burn and there goes your carbon

It depends on what you're comparing it against. A forest contains more biomass (and therefore more carbon) than a grass field or a corn field. If before tree planting a plot of land had 100 Tons of biomass, and after planting + growth it had 200 Tons, then you sequestered 100 tons of carbon. If it goes up in flames some of that biomass will get released, but it will eventually grow back, recapturing all the lost carbon.

With that in mind, I don't see anything fraudulent about selling carbon offsets during the initial planting. Sure, it's not as good as burying carbon deep underground, but you're still sequestering carbon.

Is there anything being built there that could dominate fintech? I haven't heard of anything. 3,700 highly paid individuals is a lot.
To clarify, I just recently started making over $50k, which means I have to start making payments for 24 months which will total to the max of $30k.
My point is that, the only reason I got this job is from having actual work experience and personal projects from the past two years.
The tech industry changes fast; 2 years is a life time. I'm not saying I didn't learn anything there. I'm just saying $30k is pretty steep for a rudimentary understanding of Javascript/Node and and a framework I wouldn't even recognize today.
That's not really a fair claim. Journalists are human and some will do anything to up their game whether they're being honest or not or can corroborate their story. Thus they call it an opinion piece rather than "news". Whether that's the case here is up to anyone who wants to research it.

I agree with your general premise it's exploiting loneliness and the clients aren't always engaging in these things in a healthy way (see also, parasocial relationships with streamers, etc). But I'm not sure if there is any targeted regulation that would actually achieve harm reduction. Banning it will just send it underground and make it more dangerous for the participants, and harder for people to seek help. Maybe tax it and then re-invest the proceeds into the mental health?
That sounds awesome. I assume that's for plots of land that are a long ways from any other towns/cities.

I kind of wish there was something like "Kickstarter for cities". Basically, you get a few thousand or more people to put down some amount of money that would collectively cover buying a few square miles of land and connecting it to roads and electrical and water infrastructure. Everyone gets a plot of land in the new city, and the development and funds are managed by a non-profit that eventually becomes the new city government once people start moving in and there's enough population to run elections. The non-profit/government retains unsold lots that are auctioned off to finance construction of schools, fire departments, police stations, additional roads, and so on.

Ideally, you'd partner with one or more major employers and/or a University that wants to build a new campus so that people coming in have jobs.

This is potentially a workaround to the problem of "there's only a few cities that everyone seems to want to move to, and those are getting really crowded and housing is unaffordable". We just need more nice places to live.
We need to start thinning the forests of dead wood. And use it for fuel. Capitalize this and start saving forests. And create new trees.

You are assuming that R0 for vaccinated that contract the virus is the same as those who are unvaccinated that contract the virus, which does not appear to be the case.

That was my question - how much less do those who are vaccinated and contract the virus infect other people than those who are unvaccinated and contract the virus. That can't be calculated from a single R0 number.

> you should always bias heavily for buy/download over build,
That's a good point; I haven't spent much time thinking through this based on the work I've done so far (heavily leaning towards build over buy, with an existing complex internal tool ecosystem).

I think I might still push for build (or maintain the ability to heavily customize) for things that are particularly important for areas the company aims to have a strong advantage in/are business critical.

>The infection fatality rate for COVID is incredibly low, particularly for those under 50.

The infection fatality rate is relatively low when hospitals aren't overwhelmed and when we have oxygen available, and let's not forget all the mask and vaccine measures you disparage.

That rate isn't going to remain low with the 'I've got mine, %$#@! you' attitude some people have, when even the lowest cost intervention (like wearing a mask) is unacceptable. With no interventions, infections spike and the death rate will be higher.

Ultimately, restrictions will remain until enough people have been vaccinated, either via the vaccine and/or in the 'natural' way. The attitude of some just means we'll all suffer for a bit longer.

> The answer is that people from Europe decided that people who looked like they were from sub-Saharan Africa were Black.

> People would go to court to challenge their legal race because race wasn't defined based on a genetic test.

I'm not overly concerned with how people used to do things, especially when the methodology was flawed. I understand that some of these flawed methodologies are still used to my chagrin. Doesn't change what I think are the facts. I know there are dark skinned people from all over the earth. Black doesn't mean sub-Saharan African specifically, but it does include that area. Black is the common term used to identify the look of a very dark skinned person. You can look black and be Cuban or have ancestry from China.

> Also, Chinese and German are not races, they are ethnicities.

Now you're splitting hairs that I don't see. There are genetically identifiable pools. They are distinct races as far as I'm concerned. I don't care what the US Census puts on their list of "race you identify as" or whatever.

> If your family moves from Italy to Germany, your family is probably ethnically Italian but will likely become German over time.

Depends on the breeding pattern. You might still eat Italian "ethnic" food but, genetically your family will drift into more German.
