You'd be surprised. Historically, countries like Japan used to be much poorer than the US but still had very low murder rates.
For the federal government, at least, there are highly paid scientific positions. It’s called the “ST” (scientific and technical) pay scale, it can go over $200k and has nice bonus opportunities too ($25k at the discretion of OPM and 35% at the discretion of the president).

However, there are only 470 of these positions in the whole government. Congress allocated the positions through the budget process, so call your representative and suggest they approve more (you could also mention SL, the non-STEM version of ST). Agencies are always asking for more senior-level headcount, the limiting factor is what Congress will approve.
To save others a click: CDC says to give ivermectin to kill intestinal parasites (with an exception due to risk to people who might be carrying loa loa). Not horse paste to treat a virus.
I really dislike crypto, but you're incorrect about the stock market.

Stock used to have real value, but most stock these days does not pay dividends. The relationship of the price of the stock is completely devorced from the company itself. See GME and AMC where just large amounts of people investing creates huge upswings that are more about market manipulation then the company.

Crypto and stock are nearly identical in how people make and lose money. You can only make buy it someone is selling and you can only sell if someone is buying. If you buy low and sell high you win!

When you buy you are gambling that factors outside of your control will be favorable to you later.
That YCombinator thread is about having your kids taken away by Child Protective Services, not being killed by guns.

The idea that Americans are on edge is simply not correct. The average American, not intending to end their own life and not engaged in a criminal career, is much, much more likely -- about 10× -- to be killed by their own or another person's car than by a gun, and American attitudes reflect that.
I think you have a strange view of freedom in Australia.

We'd have to be one of the more free countries around.

Yep, there are some laws that you would see as draconian, but are you offended because they actually impact you, or are they just something you don't like for "reasons"? Many places have laws and conventions that are different, it's about how you live with them.
We have crappy and corrupt politicians.
We have criminals and we have gangs. we are not perfect.
The way we treat our first nations people is frankly shameful.
Unemployed are in a in a hard shake, with benefits being far too low to both live and search for a job without family assistance.

We also have a country where you can walk down most streets without concern for your safety.
Most places in the city you lock your doors but can get away with not setting an alarm.
My current work at home office is on our back deck, and I'm happy to leave my computers out here for a few hours if I need to go out.
Most places outside the cities you don't bother locking your doors.
If you break down on a country road, your biggest fear is that somebody won't turn up to help you, not that they will come and rob you.
Most of us don't know of anybody who has been killed by violence. I know one, she was shot by her boy friend when I was about 8 years old, way before the current gun laws were enacted.
Most of the population understand that we need to work together for the common good, be it responding to natural disasters or putting on a bloody mask to help stop the spread of covid. In a disaster your neighbour will come and check that you are ok.
If I want to have my say about something, as long as I'm not stupid or violent, there are many forum.
I've walked all over the big (lol) cities in the country and never felt threatened or been accosted. This would be different if I were female, but I believe that is a problem world over.
I still believe that the police are there to help and look after me, and have no fear about talking to them. Of course I'm white middle class male and my experience is not that of other groups, however police violence is still rare enough that it creates an outcry.

Overall, the only place I would prefer to live than Australia would be New Zealand, and then I'd have to put up with the cold weather.

we would occasionally get feedback from users and prospects that the .xyz domain felt unprofessional and that they would prefer to use an app with a different URL. This was surprising feedback, as we did not believe that, beyond the initial discoverability of our product, the domain itself would create this type of impact.

Not surprising at all to me, who has used the Internet for over two decades --- to be honest, all these new and unusual TLDs, whenever they show up in search results, are almost entirely sites filled with SEO spam and similarly useless content. It's nearly an instinct to ignore them at this point.

(As for the company, it's too bad virtualspot.com and virtual-spot.com were already taken; spotvirtual.com looks weird, but at least doesn't have the negative connotations of an even weirder TLD.)

Yes, it's very common. Even companies like Intel sometimes test a CPU at umpteen GHz, then retest the ones that fail at umpteen/2 GHz and sell them at a lower price if they work reliably at the lower speed.

When you have the auditing power of the FDA, you should have the ability to do better than request a "change of classification" in 3 years when you have so much evidence of fraud.

No, more like what the parent said. People hated visa with passion but I had been running its beta as my main driver for 6 months before it was released. Imagine that, Windows Vista beta.

The only advantage I had over the majority is that it was a brand new computer (with 2GB of RAM, wow) so I did not experience slowdowns.

Vista was better than XP in every way except performance on the low-end.

Windows 8 was an exciting change from Microsoft, but yeah some things weren't fixed until 8.1 and the damage was done.

You are correct that all attempts at bringing scheduling out of kernel space have failed, even the L4 folks found the performance impact intolerable. However, this uses eBPF to perform logical operations within kernel space that are loaded from user space at runtime.

1. Idempotency. Accidentally run an INSERT twice and you get two VMs instead of one. Sure you could be careful and do upsert-queries but is everyone in your org equally careful?

2. Reverts, in terraform it's as easy as removing the resource and re-applying. Or even just run teardown. Even if you've added other things in the meantime. With SQL if you've INSERTED something you need to come up with the corresponding DELETE query. Rollbacks might be a thing but can they be applied partially?

3. Version control and code reviews. And are you sure the code that was reviewed is what was actually ran in your terminal before you commited, or did you depend on manually inserted side-effects?

4. Dependencies between resources, this has already been covered a lot in this thread. Especially together with teardowns this becomes extra complicated.

Actually that's not far off. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/nov/15/the-gun-numb... 3% of americans own near half of the guns.

Generally if you're going to own guns you're going to own several, just like you likely own more than one screwdriver. Small gauge shotguns for small birds, larger for larger birds, smooth bore for deer depending on state. Rifles there will be several, same for pistols. With rifles and pistols you generally practice with small caliber rounds like 22 as it's much much cheaper ($.02 / rnd vs $2), and really more pleasant (quiet, doesn't kick) than hunting rounds.

Everyone I know who has a gun has at least 4.

My friend's grandfather owns 73. In many areas that's an unremarkable number, especially for older shotguns where you didn't have interchangeable chokes.

Unfortunately "adult" does not have a universal definition in this context.

However I'm with you... I'd never work somewhere again (circumstances permitting) that did not offer me the flexibility I need to perform well. Sometimes that means I take a Monday and do nothing because I'm not recharged and my brain isn't being productive. Sure I could try to force something out, but honestly that doesn't benefit me or the company. My output would be poorly thought through, and I'll grow resentful. The tradeoff is, when I'm in the zone on something, it tends to consume me a bit and I'll gladly work until I'm done with it, nights or weekends be damned, because it's interesting.

Knowledge work is not a "show up and punch the clock" gig. Brains have off days and inconsistent output. When the quality of the thinking matters, and impactful output scales way beyond the cost of the individual employee, it pays for employers to be flexible.

I was forcibly updated to the Windows 11 developer builds, because I have setup the release channel to get new WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) features early. The UI was a big letdown. I've had my task bar vertically in the left edge of the screen for ages. It makes sense because screens have more width than height. However, in Windows 11 they explicitly "do not support" that.
As far as I know and saw in Switzerland the army doesn't give ammo anymore to militiamen (maybe because some over-used it, or maybe due to long-term storage issues) but they are able to buy it, and many do.

Moreover there is a mandatory training programme (a few weeks each year), including shooting exercises. Security-related matters aren't neglected, lowering the accident rates.

After his term a militiamen can buy the army-delivered weapon, and quite a few do so. This is financially clever as most on-duty militiamen take care of the gun (thinking he will buy it) and it reduces its cost for the community as he buys it, along as for him thanks to the massive buying programs of the army.

Many, even among non-militiamen, are hunters or shooters (as a hobby) and a fair fraction of them reload used ammunition.

In Switzerland a prominent argument (maybe the most prominent) of people willing to ban weapons is the amount of suicides by firearms. However suicide rates in heavily-armed Switzerland are at worst equal to those of not-heavily-armed nations such as the UK, Germany and France ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_suicide_r... )

As a related note: most firearm-related death rates are established while integrating suicides: in the US the apparent (and widely publicized) ratio of firearm-related death for 1e5 people in 2017 was 11.67, however suicides form 7.32 of it (4.46 being homicides).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-r...

IMHO the Swiss context differs from the US one because the militia is the core of the defensive system, each citizen has to be involved and the local culture integrates it. Even more significantly the Swiss society isn't under lasting and major murder-triggering major pressure (ethnic tensions, extreme poverty...).

Gun ownership doesn't put a stable society into jeopardy, and disarming haters won't transmogrify them into tolerant citizens.

>>he's describing real people doing real things in real situations

He is describing what he claims "unregulated free market capitalism" produces:

>>What Thiel demonstrates is that unregulated, free-market capitalism is in fact closely aligned to state capitalism. Deregulation means that nothing constrains the monopoly power of the security state and nothing gets in the way of people selling it their bogus and corrupting wares

I've described in detail why this claim is absurd. Just to touch back on those for a moment: the "deregulation" has nothing to do with the security state. It doesn't mean a lack of laws constraining what the state can do. The term refers exclusively to an absence of regulatory restrictions on voluntary economic interactions between consenting private actors. Not lack of restrictions on the state and its procurement processes.

You're welcome to contend with my arguments, which I've elaborated on in detail, when you decide you want to have a meaningful exchange of arguments.
Random point of Los Alamos networking history: around 1995-1996 the school system (5 elementary schools, 1 mid, 1 high) were apparently able to get dark fiber strung between them. (I may be mis-remembering, it might have been dedicated service like T1 lines, but I thought it was a level up from that. I was the student representative on the committee setting up the first internet service to all the schools.)

This is the accelerationism that the long long long loud & angry barricades against governmental social safety-netting have made necessary.

I actually think this is going to improve things, for a couple decades. Because governments most-of-the-world-over are being prevented from caring for their people. Because states & municipalities cant do good things, can't try good actions. There has been pervasive, loud, angry resistance to caring for people, to trying to make things better.

So that's accelerationism. It's making things worse. It's letting neofuedal Bezosvilles spring up, because the governments have been prevented from trying. Someone can try, and they'll probably do a better job than the nothing that has been let happen for a bunch of decades now. In the US, part to blame: a 245 year old big state / small state compromise, and by the need for veto-proof majority to get anything at all done.

I hate this. The world hasn't been allowed to try much. It's been obstructed. This neofeudalism is at least some kind of chance to try something, and chances have all been denied, for my entire life. I'm very sad about this, all of it. I want change & improvement to be possible, want helping to be possible. I want other chances to be possible, to improve things. I don't see how that will ever happen. So it's left to Bezosvilles to try & be the only source of innovation & change, since everything else has been roadblocked.

>It's incredible that people are still pushing the limits of the stock C64 system these days...

It's staggering to think that such a thing is possible on the stock hardware, just as it is staggering to consider that 1024 colors on a stock IBM PC with CGA is possible as the 8088 MHz demo has proven. What would have happened if an IBM engineer in 1981, or Commodore KERNAL developer in 1982, had had the necessary insights to come up with such innovations? CGA and the early IBM PC's reputations as a poor computer for games would not have come to pass. The C64 and 1541 would have been viable for things other than games.

Of course, the PC standard took over the world despite CGA's four garish colors. Of course, the 64 was the dominant home computer of the 1980s regardless of the need for a third-party fast loader. But one can't help but wonder what more could have been done.
