Income inequality is not the problem. Indeed everyone's purchasing power was way lower in the past and still people saved money. People save less money now, and that's one of the problems. Saving money does
mean making the sacrifice of not spending it today, perhaps not even in the future. The other problem is called Central Banks. Central Banks need and force low interests, but then gov. debt is not attractive anymore (except for banks, which buy them with money freshly printed by the FED) and people chase higher returns in the general market. So investors end up fishing in equities, creating a bubble. The problem is that companies that consume a lot of physical resources, like Tesla, are pumped... while companies that dig those resources from the ground are not. In the end this increases scarcity and raw materials become
more costly. This ends up driving prices up across the whole economy, it's inflation. Created by Central Banks. But of course when it happens many people will blame the free market.
Also the entire year before the election concluded, one side was openly talking about contesting the results only on the basis that they didn't like not winning.
Does Google require US accounts to verify age too?

I ask this because I set up my phone's google account when I was living in Japan. When I moved back I had to switch my app store county in order to use locally purchased Play gift cards. Soon after I stated getting notifications to "Verify my age on my Google account to help them comply with the law".

So far ignoring it has seemed to work, has anyone else experienced this? Also what law are they trying to comply with?

Twitch Streamers Stage a Walkout
The title rollercoaster was a great opportunity to disassociate my worth from my title. My last three jobs went something like this: started as Senior Engineer -> left as a Director; started as Manager -> left as Senior Manager; started as Manager -> left as Manager.

As just about everyone I started off caring about titles. As I moved up company tiers, my compensation was significantly higher each time, despite lower title. Downlevel in title also doesn't always mean downlevel in responsibilities - the scope of my Director role at a lifestyle business was the same as the Manager scope at a fast-growing startup. The next "step down" was a true downlevel, but such is the price you pay with FAANG. It's an opportunity to perform with lower expectations at a higher compensation.

In other words, it's a multidimensional rollercoaster and it's not recommended to be always focused on a single dimension (title).

Does youtube-dl or one of its variants get the content or is that somehow blocked by the age check? If the former then you can skip the adverts that way too.

This is an important point. One of the biggest reasons for management hatred is that actual workers can see that narcissists get promoted while doers don't.

Workers thus end up losing trust in upper/mid management. Don't do any work and instead waste their time aping the narcissist.

The problem often is merely management. But the asymmetry of power prevents the bad apples in management from getting exposed and removed.

OUT AND ABOUT, WITHOUT A LAPTOP

Day two, still not very far from home but starting to see that blogging on the fly and in internet cafes is probably not the best way to keep this updated. Though on the other hand I suspect I get to see more things because I don't travel with a camera. In the peculiar mobile fishbowl of a book tour, the only time I'd have to use a laptop would be the time I have to sit alone, staring blankly into space. I suspect that those moments serve some vital function."

> The middle class guy making $75k

If one person is making 75k they aren't middle class. 75k might not go very far with kids but in that case their spouse would also likely be working so the household income would be significantly higher than that.

Edit: To be clear, the actual definition of middle class income is much lower as well:

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/21/middle-class-calculator.html

> That puts the base salary to be in the middle class just shy of $46,000.

I'm guessing I am getting voted down because a lot of people here think it's difficult to live on 75k, but the reality is that a huge percentage of americans are living on even less, so the difficulty of getting by with kids on 75k doesn't really affect whether an individual making 75k is considered middle class or not.

Thank you for your work on this!

Some context, I'm a data scientist who grew up with R, and run Linux.

When attempting to learn Python, this kept causing me massive problems as I'd have a weird mixture of system installed and pip installed packages.

I think it probably stopped me from really getting into Python for 1-2 years.

So, I think this work is really, really important and I'm really glad someone is working on it.

Thank you very much for your kind post!

I am currently working on a cluster system. I am gauging whether to use the Raft consensus algorithm, or the typical master-slave replication schema. Not only that, but I am working on this as we speak.

As your question about long-term goals goes: I am interested in real time analytics, so hopefully we can deploy a SaaS-based platform. I am working hard to make our modules developer-friendly, so you can have access to C++ speeds with little coding. These are dreams for now, as we are just getting started, I hope you understand.

BerylDB is still in beta, and your input is appreciated.

Or, oversimplified in a different way:

Method 2: Computer, look at this (second) 3D line from a few different perspectives (determined by the first line) and then tell me how often it looks more vertical than horizontal. That'll give me a good enough idea of the angle between the two.

"The core was placed within a stack of neutron-reflective tungsten carbide bricks and the addition of each brick moved the assembly closer to criticality. While attempting to stack another brick around the assembly, Daghlian accidentally dropped it onto the core and thereby caused the core to go well into supercriticality, a self-sustaining critical chain reaction. He quickly moved the brick off the assembly, but received a fatal dose of radiation. He died 25 days later from acute radiation poisoning."

Interesting with someone who loves meteor. Personally, I really dislike Meteor and have extensive experience with it.

At work we're moving away from Meteor and that itself is a daunting task even if we're moving to a normal node backend and most stuff is copy-n-paste.

Stuff like background jobs etc are impossible in Meteor since there is really no good way of utilizing the cluster module or worker threads in node. Several times we've had issues with the entire app goin down due to Meteor. Also it has very poor performance and many requests takes a lot longer than a normal request for whatever reason if you transmit a lot of data. It adds several seconds probably due to some meteor magic.

But it's nice that you've found success with it, just goes to show that everyone's needs are different.

Diminishing marginal utility of money means that each additional dollar spent results in a smaller increase in quality of life. This is true of all consumption goods. For example, if you don't have a car, and you buy a car, your quality of life will improve a lot. If you buy a second car, it will improve only little. By the time you have 15 cars in your garage, buying another car will do nothing to improve your quality of life, or it could even worsen your living conditions.

Totally agree with not saying anything in this situation regarding opinions or constructive criticism, and would add not opening up and/or sharing any info regarding your personal life. With narcissistic bosses, all that is used as a weapon against you, whether now or long into the future.

Would have to disagree on playing politics, unless you mean minding what one says. Office politics aren't worth the energy or the toll they take on one's morale and character. If you work at a place where the mudslinging is heavy and often, especially among management types who are toxic and target the ones they manage, gtfo of there.

From experience, if you stay you're essentially letting them rob time from your short period spent alive, and recovering from the trauma is lengthy. Personally, it's taken nearly a year after being laid off to recover and begin feeling like myself from before the ~7 years of working under 2 bosses of this type (one was the vp of tech and the other was a manager below her, so two levels in hierarchy).
Same here. I used this to impress my friends in primary school. I couldn't find another use for it though.
I don’t want any kubernetes, though. I just want a VM (or similar) with a Docker in it, that’s simple enough for me to easily set up for my whole company with minimal scripting, and requires zero hand holding for continued support from me.

Satanists Demand FDA Give Them Access to Abortion Drugs for Religious Ritual
The Hackintosh seems likely to die once Apple stops releasing new macOS updates with x86 support (which is probably at least 5 years out, hopefully). Unlike x86 Macs, ARM Macs have nonstandard customizations in the CPU, making running macOS on any other ARM CPU quite impractical without deep hacks. ARM macOS also does not support anything but Apple GPUs (and requires a GPU).

That said, we know at least the VMkernel is likely to work on other ARMs, though userspace might not like it if you don't have things like AMX in your CPU, or the SPRR stuff. Rosetta is also unlikely to work without Apple's custom extensions, though some are headed for standardization. And the GPU is still an issue. If you try really hard (e.g. sticking the OS in a VM and emulating a bunch of stuff) it can hypothetically work... but it's orders of magnitude harder than a Hackintosh.

This is similar to my setup that I host locally. I use an $80 laptop that I bought on craigslist and each service that I need runs in a rootless container under a single user just for that purpose. So far I have a dedicated Valheim server, Adguard, and Plex running under this scheme.

I still have to move over my torrent client though. Perhaps I'll write some Ansible playbooks to make this easier to manage.

> MacRae’s second suggestion is to use a diverse hiring panel and to note how the candidate responds to people of different status within the organisation. “Narcissists are very good at 'managing up', but then tend to treat people they perceive as lower status very differently. But if you don't have any diversity of evaluators in the hiring process, you're unlikely to pick this up.”

I think this is a bit silly. Fine to have different people interview, good idea, but I doubt many narcissists will treat interviewers that differently.

I got down leveled when I moved to big tech.

Spent two years completely remaking the product I was tasked to work on, while the two other engineers on my team, both a level above me, cheered me on and didn’t do much.

I turned our product from a total waste about to be cancelled into a promising tech with some momentum, but I spent all my time coding instead of writing about coding, and I likely won’t get promoted again this cycle.

It’s been very strange to see the fruits of my labor benefit the org while feeling totally unrecognized outside of my team.

Now dealing with massive burn out for the first time in my career. Not sure what to do. I make sure to put out fires and do the bare minimum to keep up the product momentum, but I have no love for the org and just don’t think I’m cut out for the politics games.

>Most of the time that is not the "money" that we are talking about here and would not be subject to the utility and use being discussed. For example, the vast majority of Bezos' worth is tied up stock.

It could be subject to the same utility if we taxed it, that's what I was getting at. Wealthy people aren't using money that society could put to great use.

>Also, not every billionaire is the same. Some may not be giving much, but there are many who have pledged to give away the majority of their fortunes.

Why settle for "some" when we could tax all of them?
Yes, but that wasn't what was explained.

"Money also has diminishing marginal utility, so as you accumulate more of it, at some point it has less use."

The additional money does not have less use. It's just not going to add as much to quality of life. There are still many uses for it.

Funny coincidence as I am reading a novel that I have been putting off for decades, Neuromancer. Which I discovered after playing the game with the same name on C=64 as a kid.

The thing that many folks don't understand is that it's not that "Titles don't matter", it's that "Titles don't matter when compared across companies". There's not a universal definition of say, "senior software engineer", so comparing titles across companies will always be an apples/oranges exercise.

Titles do matter, but only when in the proper context.
