> You can protect against abusers without understanding them.

You can, but not as fully nor as well.

> Whether making sure you respond (so that you are not attractive target)

You have to know that responding indeed doesn't make you an attractive target. Which varies depending on the motives of the abuser. Some are looking for a response, where the cruelty is the point.

> or leaving or going public or retaliating.

All of these may or may not be helpful. The first two largely based on power relations and PR. But the last is vitally dependent on the reactions of the abuser -- and again understanding the abuser is needed to predict whether that's a useful response.
With a bit more discovery, the Catholic church apoears as the probably biggest corporation today with its unscrupulous desire for power. There are all sorts of people and stuff going on in that organisation: from literal saints (in the past) to rather evil types, from lithurgy to ceremonial magic and dark rituals. But the church is adept at making the illusion of united front. Its biggest secret is perhaps the history it had erased but had kept records of. So I wouldnt take its moral code any more seriously than a corporate policy. The only thing of value in that code is the basic rules like "do to others what you would do to yourself", but these rules werent invented by the church.

What are you going to do, ask HR for a list of everybody's personal email addresses? Pamphlets seem like a pretty reasonable workaround to me. Though, in my experience, pamphlets are more of an icebreaker than the actual medium of communication. If you're just standing around trying to talk to people, nobody wants that. If you're holding a binder, or have some pamphlets to hand people, they're a lot more willing to talk. As long as the pamphlet has a URL or email address, probably a QR code, it has a purpose for those who are interested.
> I think that the vast majority of the value of very expensive paintings by famous painters has very little to do with the "inherent" beauty of the work, and almost everything to do with facts about the actual origin of the object.

I agree! In fact, let's take as an example a perfectly executed counterfeit, in fact one executed so well that it matches the original on the atomic level. The equivalent of a perfect digital copy in the analog world. I'm fully willing to admit that it is intelligible that this copy does not have the same value as the original work of art.

The question, though, is why it doesn't have this value. The reason, I claim, is that the significant thing we humans value when we value art is the expression of an original act of creation, comprised by individual acts of conception, production, and realization accomplished by some ingenious mind. The reason we do not value counterfeits, even perfect ones, is that they are mere technical marvels. If they have any value at all it is due to their innate artistic merit, and not the fact that they are the expression of an act of creation.

For this reason, I claim, NFTs do not possess any of this "originality" value. There is no act of artistic creation as I defined it above. For this reason it becomes very difficult to distinguish between a "real" NFT and a counterfeit one, or say why we should value one more than another. At best, it becomes akin to an autograph or some ephemera that retains value only because of its connection to a celebrity.

> It's up to everyone to determine how much they value the thing.

What you are pointing out, of course, is that NFTs demonstrably do have exchange value. This is something that indeed demands an explanation, if I'm going to reject the view that they have value in the same way that an original work of art has value (and I do).

My view is simple: the vast majority of the exchange value of NFTs comes from a combination of their value as (a) novelty, (b) supposed investment vehicles, and (c) currency. I believe (b) deserves the most credit; most of the value in the NFT market comes from people convinced that the NFTs they buy will increase in value in the future. Any of these is very different than valuing the physical expression of the creativity of an artistic genius, however.
+1 on this, I got mine 2 years back, together with the fan noises, this was the "features" that annoyed me most. Also the Gazelle feels cheap, the keyboard is not terrible, but is not great either. I wish they they have a better quality case, a better keyboard, and a brighter screen panel. I have not tried the other models, I hope to get my hands on the Darter Pro, it seems promising. I think what System76 is doing is pretty cool, I just wish their products were more competitive.

> something like a Pi Zero sized 68k machine capable of running ... hooked up to an e-ink display in an ultrabook case would make for a very compelling writing/focus machine

I had a similar idea for a portable writing/focus sub-notebook, except using Linux rather than MacOS. At the time, e-ink displays weren't good enough, but now they are nearly there in terms of refresh rate.

I was thinking of an appliance that would mostly be used for editing text, a A5-format or 10" sub-notebook with a very good keyboard and e-ink screen, and potentially one-week long battery life (due to a low-power CPU and the fact that e-ink doesn't consume electricity unless there is a change).

The iPad isn't a competitor to this in the sense that it has no or no good keyboard and a poor screen for writing/reading/editing text professionally (glossy, no e-paper quality).

Can someone please convince me: why should I want to talk about my pay with any of my colleagues? If I know how much you earn, if we are in separate teams, if you earn less than me I will not take you seriously; if you earn more than me I will give you all my attention since I want to be you and learn from you. If we are in the same team: if you earn more than me I will be jealous; if you earn less than me I will feel guilty.

What the hell is pay equity good for me ? How can I feel better in any of those outcomes?

That is not a good idea. Innocent people will die when forgotten mines go off in a decade, and full auto weaponry is probably overkill. I can't imagine your aim is going to get any better when you're firing in full auto, unless you're far closer than you want to be.

Plus there are far easier solutions. Poisoned corn does about the same thing as mines, but with less risk (assuming you put up signs) and cost. Both are probably still bad ideas, though, because of the effect on other wildlife.
My thesis is they should make them not slow in the first place. They weren't slow for people running AIM and Microsoft Office in 2005, and they shouldn't be slow for people running Teams and Microsoft Office in 2021.

I am saying that the US was already playing the pick the cream of the crop game. It was playing it in two ways. First it identified obvious talent (math Olympiads, etc...). Second, the people who were the most driven got to Silicon Valley by any means necessary, showing tremendous grit.

Examples:

former boss's family got out of Russia, had guns pointed at them on the way to the airport

coworker who got an H1-B, was desperate to get out of Russia, we found him because a product he was working on was exceptional

several coworkers from other countries that were math or computer science olympiads

btw these people end up in American colleges as undergrads or grads

I agree with you on the issue with new hires getting paid more. It's market forces at work, but... yeah that shit sucks.

Regarding your first point I think you're a bit optimistic as to how well people take such a conversations. For example, doing well _at level_ (in my experience) means meeting expectations. There's no way someone meeting expectations should get 90th percentile comp for their level. So are you mature enough to accept that you're not good enough to warrant p90 comp?
> 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?

People aren't generally advocating for "the same" pay (precise lockstep), but broadly transparency and auditability. To use Google as an example, roles have bands. Two people in the same role aren't paid the precise same amount, but you'll generally know that they'll be +-, say, 20%. And someone at L+1 will earn more than someone at L.

In other words, there is a fairly straightforward way to calculate $$$ given performance review data. So there's rules and things work within the rules. This allows individuals to see that their performance is getting compensated the same as someone else's performance, via the same rules. If and when there are exceptions, the employer should be able to justify those exceptions. Why is John, at L, getting paid more than James at L+1? Because James was just promoted, and John has been a top performer at L for the last 5 years.
$21 / user / month - so if you have 100 engineers that's $2100 a month or $25k a year.

Still should be doable for most businesses that size but licensing costs can blow up when you start to have a lot of seats. An annoying thing about the company I work for is that they have a limited number of licenses for things like IDEs, so they ration them. And so I'll boot up an IDE for a language I work in less - like say, PyCharm - and it will stop working because my license got taken away and given to someone else. I'll have to request another one be given back to get working again, which is pretty annoying when I'm trying to get something done. I work mostly with Docker / Kubernetes so if I'm in a situation where my core tools are being constantly taken away, I'll be pretty miffed.

I agree that Docker has every right to charge big companies for this software. Just wanted to point out that the costs can be more than you'd expect.

It is pretty easy to use a 3d printer as a pen plotter. You can easily print a pen holder that mounts to your print head. This one (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3139205) includes a retaining screw for different sized pens. I have also seen mods for CNCs that will click retractable sharpies and then use them for layout or part marking. Here is one example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3LhK2SAusk

Thanks for followup, I was curious if the ram was allocated in blocks if sections could go unused.

Right now I have 16gb and it's been great and I generally don't put much pressure on it (except for some occasional Android Studio virtualizing).

However, it seems as though software resource usage has a tendency to creep up over time so it seemed like more RAM would be a safe option. I also tend to use the computer more lightly when it's unplugged.

I don't know much about hardware so all input is appreciated.

Yeah, there are a lot of businesses that have gone under because they were geared to serving office workers. Out here in Silicon Valley, a Panera-esque chain called Specialty’s just shut down completely within a couple months after offices closed; most of their locations were only open Monday through Friday for breakfast and lunch. Downtown San Jose hasn’t been completely decimated, but I’m pretty sure there are a lot of places that aren’t coming back.

(N.B.: There is one Specialty’s location that has re-opened, near Moffett in Mountain View; apparently the family that started the chain decades ago bought the assets, and their one original location, back.)
I think you're giving Trump too much credit. Trump's support of the First Step Act was widely attributed to doing a favor for Kushner, and is seen as an anomaly against his broader "tough on crime" theme, which he doubled down on in the run-up to the 2020 election. (I mean, he literally tweeted "LAW & ORDER!" with no other context several times.)

It's hard to take Trump seriously in the realm of criminal justice reform when considering -- for example -- his reaction to the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd. And that's just one example among many. I won't claim that Biden is a saint here, but painting Trump as a criminal justice reformer is a bit absurd.

Regardless, incarceration isn't really something that changes a lot based on federal-level action, as federal prisoners account for less than 10% of the prison population (the rest are incarcerated at the state level).

Person A and B are friends. A makes a bunch of NFTs. Person B agrees to buy NFT_1 for BIG_SUM. They settle "off books" for the payment... really what happens is Person A agrees NFT_2 is worth BIG_SUM and swap.

Person A now sells NFT_3 to public, and tries to convince public its worth BIG_SUM++ since other pieces sold for BIG_SUM in past.

Person A: Profit off NFT_3 sale

Person B: Profit by selling NFT_1 in open market for BIG_SUM++.

What you are describing is basically selling a binary call option not a loan.

Binary options are fairly popular among retail traders, and are generally sold rather than bought by institutional firms. So it might be hard to find someone to take the other side of that trade.

Edit:
I'm not saying it's a bad idea. There might be tax reasons to structure this a loan, but looking to binary option pricing might give you a good idea on ow much "interest" you might expect to pay.
