I long for the day when our current mobile OSes work half as well as Palm/Treo devices did in the 90s and early 2000s...

Quite seriously, neither iOS nor Android are even remotely as good at easy, right now interaction and usefulness as Palm was nearly 30 years ago. That is especially true for contact management/phone apps!

The capability to commit violence might be a strength in a world where violence is an unfortunate necessity, ie for defense of the common good. But unless it's paired with wisdom and reluctance (as the opposite of the willingness noted above and gleefully promoted by adherents to the Spartan mythos) that capability is mostly the tool of tyranny.

"utter abomination", "laughable", "a bunch of clowns", etc. is not "looking for a solution", it's internet ranting.

That sort of thing makes discussion more predictable. That's really why we don't want it here. It's not about disagreeing on the issues, it's about wanting to say and hear things that we haven't all said and heard many times before.

> normal people aren't often given the opportunity to go to these schools even if they deserve it"

I personally believe, as a peon, that nobody deserves to go to a top school because they're eugenicist and classist by design. I have nothing because I went to a shitty state school, and the fact that others have happiness and everything handed to them because they're part of the lucky few is why I have a suicide note ready for when I snap and blow my brains out for being an abject, state school-educated failure.

> However, being a normal person making that absolutely enormous leap happens a non-trivial amount of times

Again, it doesn't. 2k admits. Only people that might be normal are the ones that are affirmative action admits from Wyoming or Alaska.
There are lots of exceptions to free speech: false advertising, all manner of fraud, libel, falsely shouting fire in a theatre, incitement of violence, etc.

You can say "Google" in a TV ad without violating their trademark. You can't use the word "Google" in every way (you can't pretend to be Google so people trust you, for instance). The legal thing that causes folks to be scared of doing this in practical situations is being sued for libel, not trademark infringement.

"... the potential collapse of global civilization, defined as a significant decrease in human population and/or political/economic/social complexity over a considerable area, for an extended time."

I suppose it's possible. I don't think it's very likely on any given lifetime. I could see a more deadly pandemic, another world war, or natural event causing a significant decrease in decrease in population or social structure. The risk of these occurring is not zero, but I would guess approaches zero when looking at say 100 year period. Then there are a number of factors during/after the occurrence that would determine if the impact fits that scale.

It's a lot like people talking about the next market crash - given a long enough tineline one is nearly certain to occur. It doesn't really happen when and how the doom sayers tell us, and it's usually not as bad either.

It doesn't hurt for some people to discuss these possibilities and even prepare for them, provided they don't go overboard. It could even be beneficial to the survival of the species if one of these rare possibilities does happen.

Personally, I think we will see another pandemic, or near pandemic, in my lifetime. I'm hopefully that what we are dealing with right now will help us better deal with the next one, maybe even containing it, and that it won't be too deadly. But my experiences say that maybe I'm putting too much trust in government competency.

Back in 1993, I took an interest in Wolf 3D a hot new program on DOS which my dad described as “video game”. It was my first time looking at a PC and a video game. I went down that rabbit hole, majored in computer science and started working as a contractor for the military designed and built games used for training soldiers. It went down hill form there, joined EA worked on a few mobile titles and then quit the gaming industry for good.

Restarted as a system engineer, worked on backend systems and databases, then infrastructure management, and then on frontend. Took a break from software development and tried my hand at design. Lead product design at 3 startups all acquired within 2-3 years.

Went back to software engineering, something was off tried engineering management and it still did feel right. Took a engineering role on the growth team of a early stage Chinese startup and hacked a short video app’s growth and put it on the map.

Decided that I love solving problems; and engineering and psychology were my strong points. Wanted to learn how to manage (very large) business and dabble a bit in finance. Now I’m a product manager for a very large business.

Not just plastic, but glass too.

I'm canning a lot of vegetables and fruits. I reuse jars and lids from store-bought products like mustard or mayonnaise. The lids aren't interchangeable. In fact, there's a huge variety in the lids' shape, size, and thickness. It's especially frustrating when those custom lids lose the sealing and grip over time or they rust. Hunting an exact replacement is often impossible, so you can't reuse this specific jar anymore.
I think there's a danger of over-romanticizing a movie we all watched when we were a lot younger than we are today. The first Matrix movie absolutely had a lot of explosions, fight scenes and a futile (within the grand scheme of Matrix lore) goal.

>Unqualified people will apply
>over, and over, and over,

Given this is true, won’t it be the case that you’d hire more people who were unqualified but repeatedly got better at interviews as opposed to the qualified one(someone who always gets 91 or 92 in your example)

You’ll actually end up hiring folks who are not good at what they do but people who got better at interviews.
Fusion scientist here (no connection with MIT/CFS). This is in fact a very big deal. One of the chief complaints about fusion energy is the low power density (for ITER-like tokamak <<1MW/m^3, vs ~ 100MW/m^3 for a LWR fission core). The low power density is the primary reason that ITER is as large (and hence expensive) as it is.

Fusion power density scales like B^4. So if CFS can get 2x the magnetic field, then they can make the plasma volume 16x smaller, which might equate to big savings in cost and construction time. (It doesn't make sense to go much smaller than their ARC reactor design though -- the plasma already takes up only a fraction of the volume of the core at that scale, so compressing the plasma further doesn't improve the power density. If you can increase the field even more, which REBCO seems to allow, then you would rather just pack more power into a device about the size of ARC. So don't expect to put one of these on your DeLorean.)

There are definitely other challenges/limitations. For one, this approach increases the heat flux that the inner wall of the reactor will have to survive. The localized heat flux of the exhaust stream is expected to rival the heat flux of re-entry from orbit (20 MW/m^2) and could be as high as the power flux from the surface of the sun (~60MW/m^2). 20MW/m^2 is on the hairy edge of what's possible with today's technology, and that's without all the complications of neutron damage, plasma bombardment, etc. The current thinking is to spike the outer layer of the plasma with neon or nitrogen, to radiate most of the power as photons, but there are limitations & risks to that idea as well. Commonwealth's plan for SPARC (last I heard) was to oscillate the exhaust stream back & forth across the absorber plate to reduce the average heat flux.

The nuclear engineering side of fusion has been underfunded for a long time, so there's much that needs to be done on that front, in terms of demonstrating that the breeding of tritium from lithium can be done efficiently & without too much losses. Also, we should be developing better structural materials that can withstand neutron damage & not become (as) radioactive.

It's still very much an open question as to whether fusion could be made economical, even though it seems like it should be technically possible.
As someone used to tools like IntelliJ for Java and Kotlin, and Clippy for Rust, this is like the most basic kind of warning I can imagine.

It blows my mind sometimes what IntelliJ, in particular, catches... like code branches that can never execute due to intricate conditional blocks in the same block of code... forgetting to use a method argument is not even worth a mention :D

Look at just how many issues IntelliJ can detect for Java: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/list-of-java-inspections...
Its not nonsense at all!

Bank accounts are private money, and their contents is magic'd out of nowhere through fractional reserve banking. They do not serve the purposes of a central bank digital currency. Interest rates are set by the banks, based on Fed rates.

What is being proposed is a direct to consumer pseudo-crypto dollar, think USDC/USDT but issued by the Fed. This will likely happen in the next 5 years. Several other nations have progressed on this path now, including China. It does not compete with private money in banks.

This would give the Fed direct ability to implement negative interest rates, literally taking the dollars out of your pocket.

I would add that CBDC are dystopia through technology -- complete visibility of all transactions and demurrage / negative interest rates.

I would recommend swapping as much fiat currency for Bitcoin as you are comfortable. Using private cryptocurrencies such as XMR and ZEC allow one to mask the transaction graph and amounts also.
It's possible for situations to be mutually beneficial which looks to be the case here.

That’s not what I mean though. Capacitors are limited by the breakdown voltage. But what if we make the plates separate by more distance and just increase the charge.
Does it matter if it benefits them if it also benefits the workers? Sure, it probably benefits Amazon. And honestly, it may be keeping more radical changes from happening. However, it's still an improvement over how things were going. Let's accept that this is a positive step, while still recognizing that Amazon still has a lot of work left to do.
I don’t understand QBism well enough to really comment, but from the outside it seems like QM interpretations are taking the measurement problem increasingly seriously.

I like that the writer is up front in how all we really know right know is ‘shut up and calculate’ and wish that it had been taught with such honesty when I was taught it in school, rather than basically doing everything from the copenhagen interpretation and pretending that that isn’t fundamentally philosophically weird. The observer and measurement in the ‘shut up and calculate’ school is much more believable than in the copenhagen school where people (or at least things people do, like taking measurements and observing observables) are suddenly jarringly special for the first time in a physicist’s training.
The generous interpretation is that in these cases it's generally possible to recycle the material, and the company is noting that and may well think it would be a really good idea of someone did recycle the things, even though realistically it ain't happening.

The bar set by the bill is much higher than 'could be recycled'. It "ban[s] companies from using the arrows symbol unless they can prove the material is in fact recycled in most California communities, and is used to make new products."

> Just as the worst slave-owners were those who were kind to their slaves ... the people who do most harm are the people who try to do most good

Exactly, most people don't get this. This is exactly why I am vicious, cruel, and unkind to the employees of my small business - it seems counter intuitive, but I'm actually doing them the least harm this way, and so I'm actually optimizing for their long term happiness. They should be thanking me. /logic
Well this approach doesn't work unless you actually promote people once they're no longer junior. In my time at a FAANG, I got a 33% pay rise nine months in along with a promotion. That kind of behaviour engenders a lot more loyalty than CPI adjusted raises when an employee is clearly killing it.

I think the interesting question is: what really qualifies as a service?

IMHO, a service is just a program someone else manages running on a server, that I can use remotely with a REST API.

In college, in the 80's, I used the symbolic math program Maple on an MTS mainframe. Is Maple a service? I say no, only because services tend to be web related, they have a REST API accessed with HTTP. But if Maple supported a REST endpoint, bam, its a service.

In this OPs example, the "service" API is email, not HTTP. But it achieves the same goal.

What I think the OP misses is: who the heck wants to log on to the server and tweak the site content from the unix prompt when there is an API?
A brilliant and helpful quote. Reminds me of the King quote about white moderates. It's a bit different, but what they have in common is emphasizing that when you "do good" on top of a foundation of fundamental injustice you do the most damage. Because you appeal to the most reachable minds (and therefore the most needed as supporters, the most precious resource) and implore them to support the status quo instead of helping.

> total deaths per military FTE is often in the 1/1000 rate each year

This might derail the thread but I'm genuinely curious to know: if I joined the US military during wartime, what's the statistical chance that I would suffer a non-fatal but still life-changing injury? And what's the chance that I would survive combat with such a severe case of PTSD that it drivese to suicide?

(On the latter point, I've read that significantly more American servicemen have killed themselves after returning from Iraq and Afghanistan than were actually killed while serving in those countries.)
Sure. If we want to expand the definition of work then I work every hour of the day. Some of that work is for my employer, some of that work is for my family, some of that work is for me.

I haven't looked at it in depth, but they have a list of approved "partner" institutions. Those institutions will have incentives and pressures to tote a false narrative of preference towards Amazon, especially as universities have been struggling prior to the pandemic. You can tailor select those to tote the propoganda you want and they'll have every interest in appeasing. If those partners include large reputable institutions that arent under financial shortfalls then I would mostly tend to agree with you.

I went to school and later worked at a state university that had substantial ties to the fossil fuel industry, including a lot of donations for infrastructure and research. Whenever we published something or taught something there was always a behind the scenes discussion about how we had to tred lightly about biting the hand that fed us ("don't say bad things about oil and coal, they give us tens of millions a year"). Heck, it even influenced the lines and the types of research the university would promote publications or sometimes even allow.

Not sure if the pandemic helped or hindered public university revenue streams, but I have to suspect all the economic downturn hurt admissions and revenue more than helped. They were already hurting across the country prior to the pandemic so I only imagine it's worse now. That means piles of money can carry even more influence than before.
