I agree that income is far from wealth.

I make a good income doing what I do, but I have a six-figure student loan (which largely went to raising my step daughter and son). I don't expect any sympathy for that.

Nor do I expect sympathy for living in small town with a crazy real-estate market.

But between those, it's likely I'll never retire and will die in debt.

But hey, I do plan to take up paragliding and climbing bigger mountains, so whatever. I guess.

But hey, I also funnel a lot of cash to my kiddo who is getting all-As and is a Junior in a well-respected Mechanical Engineering program.

These are generational problems. I suspect that regardless of how you slice it, that fact about student loans (or lack of professional options for unsettled late-millenials) and real-estate is closer to the truth for most of the people I know who didn't settle down in their 20s and have kids.

My climbing partner, who just got priced out of this town, might look like he's living in poverty, as he's living in a car. But it's a lexus and he's climbing rocks full time... so maybe he's just "retired" temporarilly.

Who knows. I can't tell the difference between hobos and kings anymore.

Australia is turning itself into a prison state. Citizens are allowed to go outside for maximum one or two hours, total surveillance, unconstrained searches of the property... About the same set of rights as a supermax prison inmate has, it looks like.

You were answering the first question not the second, totally make sense now.

Sorry for my misunderstanding.
I think the closest you can get these days is a village in some poor but relatively stable country. In Eastern Europe for example.

The government will ignore a lot of things for a pretty long time as long as you're building, doing stuff and paying taxes.

But an independent country? Maybe on a bunch of ships in international waters.

Otherwise you'll quickly find yourself with a small army at your "borders".

Too many people these days, soldiers, guns and ammunition are cheap and all land is taken.
The Magic Resigned Society
I've been thinking about this for a long time, and it may be time to post about it.
You enter your house, and since you insert the key, turn on the light, turn on the radio, activate the induction or the microwave, play some instrument or just open the refrigerator or use the hot water or turn on the computer, there are endless technologies that you are using without knowing in many cases not even the minimum basis of its operation.
I have a real belief that most of the society understands that the functionality is not magical, but resigns itself to it by being unable or lazy to investigate about. It is the paradox of today.
I open a mobile application, and it asks me if I like its design, if I think it is useful. It asks me almost ironically to improve it. How would ever I be able to improve something that I totally ignore. Just asking for more tricks.
And I can imagine endless humans living in a magical world and easily or randomly giving the worst of opinions, shacking and blaming the most advanced technologies when they ignore to the bone the amount of work that every minimal development involved. The same thing happens to everything, it is the society of the ignorant-with-opinion, a society of don't care about how it works, just use it and waste it, of the one who does not care to know how but wants it done.
I would like to propose a game to these people.
I would like you to imagine that you travel to the past, with what invention would you get rich? Do you know how to make a simple lighter or a pen? Try to design the wiring so that a light bulb has two interrupters in the same room. How would you make the paint for your walls? Do you know how a cistern works or where this water goes? The society of the future is to a great extent the same that lived in caves, believing in magic and praying to fire.
We are simply close to give a hammer to a monkey and watch it knocks with.
Technological philosophy is the philosophy that fits today, we kill gods and morality, we leave society on the sidelines, endless theories of politics and psychology. But the basis of human development continues to be wondering how what surrounds you works. Time to sleep.

I think the GP's point was that they are dishonest about it. They claim that they, unlike others, aren't selfish, other things matter more than money etc when in reality they don't, and all the talk is only virtue signalling.

People can and do make valuable contributions in short time periods at USDS. Most projects do not involve full time coding, but rather improving processes, making technical recommendations, helping write and award contracts effectively, scaling systems, building redundancy, rollout planning, analyzing failures, etc.
I find it strange too.

Even in the context of companies that often have slack channels where people discuss all sorts of topics ... it's one I would expect many people would want away from the prying eyes of the folks who chose to pay them X.

I wonder if there is some expectation / hope / motivation the the employer would see the topic and somehow respond? A sort of slack channel as a psudo-protest / online activism?
I've seen those, but... how does the bottle know how big your washer is? Or how water efficient it is?

A agitator "tub washer" uses 40-gallons of water to wash clothes. A modern front-loading HE washer uses 10-gallons.

If you use the same amount of soap on both washers, you'll naturally be either... adding too much soap to the HE washer, or too little soap to the agitator washer.

-------

Same thing with "Tide Pods". The idea of those things is "one pod per load", which removes the mental need to think of how much soap to add per load. But... once again, there's many different washers that all use different amounts of water. There's no way we really have a one-side fits all situation.

We had to make an adjustment on our site to account for that second one. I had just assumed if you have some kind of notice that can be closed, people would close it after they'd had a chance to digest the info (or decided they didn't care, or whatever). But no, turns out the vast majority never close anything unless it's physically preventing them from using the site. (Of course the vast majority also never bother to read anything that doesn't prevent what they're trying to do either, but we already knew that.)
Sure, as long as we also ban fast food, tobacco, alcohol, and raise the minimum standard for food at the grocery store to USDA Organic. I'm tired of carrying these unhealthy peoples' burdens. Might as well target the actual big causes of death, like heart, lung, and liver disease.

Perceptual and judgment creep.

Do we think that a problem persists even when it has become less frequent? Levari et al. show experimentally that when the “signal” a person is searching for becomes rare, the person naturally responds by broadening his or her definition of the signal—and therefore continues to find it even when it is not there.

Flashback: From 2005 to 2009 Apple was running an illegal wage fixing scheme and using threats of demolishing competitors with patent infringement lawsuits when they stated they didn't want to participate because the scheme was illegal.

Apple eventually had to pay out in a settlement a tiny fraction of what they stole from employees, so there is little incentive to engage in other blatantly illegal acts against their employees-- much less in activities which are arguably just inside the line of legally permitted.

Licensing prices might not increase, but paid technical support costs could theoretically be unlimited. Especially if you're at the mercy of an open-source software that isn't well-maintained.
I'm not sure the whole reason for Docker Desktop is that Docker and K8s don't run natively. I mean, someone could create a Linux VM and get them running right through there. The tools exist to do this.

There are even programs like minikube that can get you Kubernetes in a VM on Mac.

There is something else to it that people want and that translates to Linux, I've learned. They want an easy button with an easy UX. There are a lot of people who are like that.
Linux considers unused RAM to be wasted RAM. WSL 2 addresses this with a Linux kernel change that right now is insiders only. I expect it to land with Windows 11.
Indeed it's nearly perfect, but I would only buy it with a considerably better processor. Both Intel and AMD have incredible stuff lined up for the next few years in that space. For now though, since I have to keep a Mac around for work, I'll probably stick with my M1 MacBook Air for my portable needs and keep using Linux on my desktop.
Not only it can, it already exists.

Regarding this specific issue, I do not see what paying people for what they negotiate has to do with progressivism.

Equity in pay potential is progressive (i.e. not discriminating against race, etc), but I do not see why everyone should have the same pay. I pay people (and businesses) differently based on what I think my second best option would cost. Is that not what everyone does?

Next step https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NKVD_troika

NKVD troika or Special troika (Russian: особая тройка), in Soviet history, were the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs (NKVD which would later be the beginning of the KGB) made up of three officials who issued sentences to people after simplified, speedy investigations and without a public and fair trial.[1] The three members were judge and jury, though they themselves did not carry out the sentences they dealt. These commissions were employed as instruments of extrajudicial punishment introduced to supplement the Soviet legal system with a means for quick and secret execution or imprisonment.[

People have roamed and moved their bodies about since the first human walked. The unnatural state is one of prohibited movement where the doldrums of the everyday with its same walls, same chipped paint corner of a bedroom, same routine, same one yellowed box of a shelter are The Encounter.

Too cheap. Been in a few places where getting 700k for something with a boring but plausible name was a no questions asked thing, but trying to get a $15 miro board license was literally impissible.

> The fact that we're even talking about funding in any form indicates to me that you don't really want to live in the world you're describing.

> What Non-Commercial license advocates are actually saying (whether they realize it or not)

I’d appreciate it if you didn’t accuse me of being delusional or duplicitous, it’s not nice.

Also, what world do you think I’m describing? Because it sure doesn’t seem to match the world I think I’m describing. Here, I’ll make it more clear for you with bullet points:

1. Tying “freedom” to commercialization is a framing that I think is misleading at best, manipulative at worst. It implies that open source creators are less moral people if they don’t want someone else making a profit off their work, which I think is nonsense.

2. A lot (but not all!) of open source contributors would be happier if they chose NC licenses even if it means fewer people use them. The proposed costs of doing so (no Debian, no commercial funding) is a non-factor for the vast majority of projects, while the lower adoption of NC projects might make the overall process more enjoyable and less stressful.

3. The exact definition of success for a project is up to the people creating and running it, not us. You might find it inconvenient if you can’t use someone else’s work because of a license incompatibility, but that doesn’t mean that that project is a failure or bad, it just means it’s not right (or even meant) for you.

None of this comes anywhere close to all software being NC, although I think more people should make NC software for the joy of making things that other people will use (point 2). Plenty of open source founders will set high levels of adoption as their goal (point 3), and therefore adopt a commercial friendly license[0]. That’s fine, and I think it’s their right to pick the license that they think best meets their needs. What’s not fine is haranguing those who want their work to remain non-commercial for picking a “non-free” license (point 1). It’s their work, they can do with it as they see fit[0] without the unnecessary moralizing about “freedom”.

0 - Limited of course by the licenses of any libraries they bring in, since those creators have rights too.
Brianna Taylor's boyfriend shot a cop breaking into their residence. It was classified as self defense. Gun laws in California were pushed decades ago to keep black people from owning weapons as a tacit acknowledgement that they knew they were mistreating people and didn't want those people to be able to resist.

No matter what a country dictates, for it to mean something, they have to send someone out to your house to enforce it. Guns quite literally put a very hard hold on how far they will go -- maybe not in passing laws, but definitely in enforcing them.
We will need a full 3d rendering space for future applications anyway. It will require, that 2D content can be embedded in a 3D space and vice versa. Also a standardized 3D dom (with whatever usefully condensation of properties) will be required sooner or later, unless we want only some very big players to provide proprietary 3D environments.

How about averting the easily exploited, "no cost is too great" mentality entirely? If the cost is a disease which kills people smack-dab on the average human lifespan, 99% of which already had a significant confounding disease. We live on an overpopulated planet amidst global ecological collapse. Nobody seems to care about the millions, mostly children under 5, dying of respiratory illnesses caused by pollution or crippled for their entire lives from malaria. Nobody seems to care that deaths from child abuse have sky-rocketed to unprecedented levels in the last year. Yet here we are grieving death in nursing homes, where people go to die. Covid is barely a blip in a long succession of diseases. Letting it do as much damage as possible is the best thing that could have happened to the survivors. Especially since for all that door-nailing, mask-wearing, and aggressive signage all we managed to do was spread a pandemic of emotional toxicity, so long as you weren't from a small isolated island. But hey, I guess we got some good drama and a reason to shame our friends and neighbors out of it.

If you mean the parking lot, keep in mind that's a contested area that employers have fought very hard to prevent workers from using to organize.

If you mean just outside of the parking lot, you STILL have issues. Amazon for instance, in their recent organizing battle, literally was accused of getting the county to change the traffic light timing:

These issues are not simple. Organizing is hard.
No one has mentioned microtonak music. The breadth of perception on the continuum becomes more similar between sight and sound when you discriminate more. Think the carnatic system. Or Harry Partch. Or the oud. Modal music in microtunings gets very colourful.
50+ with bad eyes, and I think the difference between 4K and 1080p is still very noticeable on a 15.6" laptop, in terms of sharpness.

Having said that, most people probably set the text magnification on a 4K screen to be the same as a 1080p screen, so any real estate gains tend to be a wash.

Since getting presbyopia several years ago, I had single vision glasses prescribed for using a computer. So when I am using a computer, as long as the screens are around 21" to 27" away from my eyes, everything is sharp. It sucks having an extra pair of glasses (and remembering to swap them when not using a computer), but I would go nuts if I didn't have them.

Cool! My first thought is barns; if you pour this over a fine limestone gravel, seems to me you should get an excellent surface for keeping hooved animals in trim without a lot of manual work.

I also wonder how bad the fumes are, and for how long. I've done epoxy floor coatings and that stuff is nasty for several days. Worth it though: after years of harsh treatment it looks just as bland and crappy as the day it was laid down.
Some children enjoy playing some new video games. (As do some adults.) Some children (and some adults) would refuse to play a video game that someone else told them to play. Their decisions and feelings are contingent on the context (including social context).

If you slow down and have a conversation you can sometimes figure out what the specific emotional problem is, often involving shame or fear, and what triggers it has. The problem is seldom if ever “so-and-so is incapable of learning anything new”.

Clearly.

I said:
- EBITDA is used for both comparison and YoY trends

You replied:
- YoY trends don't matter in isolation

All of my clients (PEGs) used EBITDA both as a tool to normalize YoY trends and to do like for like comparisons of comparable assets. Ultimately this is to evaluate whether they want to make an investment or not.

Since you cared to provide some contradictory clarification to my comment, I can only assume you were disagreeing that EBITDA can only be used for comparative measures, which is 100% not true as per practice. Hence my example was that in theory you could make an investment decision in isolation (as naive as that might be).
I guess it depends on the enterprise. I can imagine the thoughts of certain managers: Recurring costs? Something that used to be free and now they want money? Pricing per user? More expensive than Office 365?

Well, I did not read the law in detail, but I am pretty sure, that tampering with evidence is not included and still forbidden with the threat of criminal investigation for the officers doing it.

What is allowed here, is hacking for the police. That necessarily can include changing files on the target computers (e.g. deleting logs) - this is the way I read this. And I would see the point in it - if it really only get applied in serious crimes like terrorism to catch the whole network for example.
(back to trust)

But yes, it maybe makes it more easy to tamper undetected with evidence in sneaky ways, but not if for example you would log the hacking activities by default of the police. In fact, I strongly believe that this should be done, but doubt, it will be.
This article has a paywall. I will not take this personally and just not read it.
While that may be true (and I'm sort of disappointed to find this out), I don't think there's any server _at all_ that I'd trust if I'm worried about certain governments snooping in on my email. That level of communication would prompt me to use PGP.

There are other defenses, historically.
