> About 60,000,000 people die every year, which is absolutely fine

Which is about half the japanese population. Or are we comparing apples to jetskis here?

There is more to death than numbers. 16.000 genocidal industrialized slaughterings or 16.000 targeted kindergarden assassinations are certainly something a free society cannot tolerate, while 16.000 dying of old age is something a free society has to tolerate because it is part of nature.

Now that we are clear what kind of deaths a free society has incentives to prevent for sure (genocides, assassinations) we can move on into murkier territory: Preventable pandemic deseases. Note the pandemic in there, it is the thing that makes the difference between "you lead an unhealthy lifestyle and now it comes back to haunt you" and "you did everything right, but your neighbour caughed in your face today". Being in a pandemic situation where everybody can potentially become another ones killer is a delicate situation for any form of society, but especially for a free one. But compared to the times of the black death it is much, much easier if you know what is killing you, how it is doing it and how to prevent people from getting it, either by organisational changes (lockdowns, mask mandates, home office) and/or by medical means (vaccinations).

Now any free society usually also values life itself. Preventable deaths are bad. Preventable pandemic death is worse, because it is not a fixed number ("x people get struck by lightning a year"), but a partially exponentially developing one.

I think it is totally rational for any kind of free society to:

- do more to avoid preventable death than unpreventable death (the easier this prevention is the bigger the moral duty to do sth)

- do more to avoid preventable pandemic death than preventable non-pandemic death (because logistic function)

The easier and the less side effects this prevention has the more moral mandate there is to do it.

Of course measures can go over the top as well. Politicians/corporations can abuse the situation to extend their powers and these are legitimate concerns.

Sadly nowadays they are filled with very un-nuanced, self-lying fundamentalist people ("My freedom to not wear a mask is more important than your freedom not to die") that are quite frankly right now the reason why this pandemic is still rolling.

It is hard to form reasonable criticism in companionship of people who do as if a piece of cloth in front of their mouth is the most fundamental breach of human rights ever.

The Walkman came out when I was in 6th grade, and even though it seems lame now, I can tell you it was every bit as mind-blowing as the iPhone when it was first released. Now I could choose my music and take it with me, wherever I went. Prior to the Walkman, you either listened to music in your house, with parents in the next room (ew, gross!), or you listened to what the radio played for you (boring!).
Remember this well. Though my three line programs were a little more mischievous. When Boots the Chemist weirdly started selling computers I thought it was fun to go in on a Saturday afternoon and type:

10 PRINT "Boots is rubbish, shop at Dixons.";
20 GOTO 10

I thought I was a genius. Probably should have got a slimy career in adtech after that, but thankfully I didn't.
Sad to hear this. I got a ZX in the mid-eighties. It was the 16k-model but my father upgraded it to 48k, I think it even involved some soldering.

One of my best friends also had one and we tinkered a lot, all by ourselves. To get stuff to load from copied cassettes on whatever tape deck or boom-box you had available was sometimes a very frustrating experience. We cleaned the tape heads with q-tips and alcohol, set the five-band eq to some previous good setting (marked with a pencil), then loaded, adjusted and retried. Typing in long listings from computer magazines, often failing and having to double check and re-type parts was quite common too.

We also learned the value of RTFM. The first game my friend had on a cassette had a fold in leaflet. We spent one evening not being able to load it using the instructions. The next evening a brilliant move was made, remove the leaflet from the cassette and read the remaining part on the hidden side :) Success!

These experiences definitely help remove any fear of tinkering with respect to computers and other digital equipment that I later on have noticed in others.

This dosen't mean anything at all. Per SEC requirements, you just have to own $25,000 in stock (or $2,000 if you have held it >3 years) in a company to put forward a non-binding shareholder resolution.

Union and environmental groups have been doing this for years with an assortment of companies, mostly to raise their own profile with the press.
Look into cycling, you have a big range of efforts you can do from barely anything to full out and you will any ways put some km's behind you. Its less impactful on the knees and joints in general, running is relatively hard on your joints especially if its on asphalt or hard surfaces. I also sit at a desk (not all day but any way a good part of it) and my go-to is cycling (road, gravel & mountain XC). Starting is easy, find a bike and start pedalling. When you get tired pedal less hard and go home. If you feel like you can do more do a harder effort or sprint, then bring it back to a slower speed, etc. Lots of videos available on youtube.
> The murder rate varies widely by state/area.

The same is true in other countries. Berlin has a murder rate vastly higher than the countryside, and let's not mention Frankfurt. However even the crime cesspool that is Berlin has a murder rate comparable to or lower than the "low crime" areas in the US.
I wouldn‘t give up on equity if i didn‘t plan to sell. Because that could lead to others wanting to sell their equity and me losing control.

I mean when you start a newsletter company, do you really think you would sell it for 12B?

Don‘t forget it means they didn‘t try to sell at:
- 1 million USD
- 10 million USD
- 100 million USD
- 1.000 million USD
- 5.000 million USD
- 10.000 million USD

How many non-founder equity holders who are „just working a job“ would not have tried to sell their equity at an earlier evaluation?

Assuming they really did not want to sell, honestly, 12B for a newsletter tool seems worth changing your mind.

An interesting angle I saw on this is that usually a $12b exit in a city mints a bunch of new multimillionaires, many of them decide to stay in the area and some of them become angel investors in the area and boost the local startup environment. So it might suck for other entrepreneurs in the area that there aren’t a bunch of new angel investors now - just a few new billionaires.

On this story though, as long as it’s clear to both parties what the deal is, I think it’s fine to either offer or not offer equity. And a promise not to sell is obviously meaningless unless the corporate structure somehow enforces it.

I would encourage a combination of fartlek and slow running.

One day just go for a 20 minute "jog". Try and run as slow as possible with the goal of running for 10 minutes out and then just getting home. It's OK if you walk and do so when you need to!

The next day slowly jog for 5 minutes, then do 1 minute at a high pace, and jog/walk for 2 minutes. Try and repeat that 5 times. Turn around after 3, and then walk/jog home when you've done all 5.

If you do that a few times you can increase the numbers, but the difference between fast and slow running really helps!
>it's not the government that was doing those things, it's the virus that was making it so they can’t buy something, they they have to wear a mask, they have to inject something in their body, they can’t go to a concert, etc.

The difference between my government's response to the virus and the Swedish government's response was not determined by covid's preferences. Humans made these policies.

>The government can only enforce the will of the people...

The government is enforcing the will of the medical establishment. We didn't get polled on "6' vs 8' social distancing" or "should cloth masks be required or is a bandana acceptable?".

I'm not sure 'stop and frisk' == 'policing in general'.

Sure, the actual situation matters. People will probably choose no cops over racist cops. I am not cynical enough yet to think that is the only choice available though.

OP is talking about policing in general, and I've seen other news reports(not youtube, but that doesn't make it gospel) that align with what he's saying. I'm not trying to say your opinion or experiences are wrong, but I think there is more nuance to this discussion and absolutist positions aren't very useful or accurate.

How many bridges are built to survive abnormal conditions like earthquakes, tidal waves, or even just a lorry driver smashing into the roof of a low bridge? Some of my closest mates are actually structural engineers specialising in bridges so coincidentally I happen to know a lot on this topic and the answer is, outside of surprisingly few countries, most bridges aren’t designed to carry any more than expected load. Some bridges aren’t even strong enough to carry heavy goods vehicles of present day. Hence why so many bridges have instructions upon approach detailing to drivers about safe and correct usage.

However you can’t really compare software to bridge building. There’s thousands of reasons why the two aren’t the same.

This is what worked for me: I didn't start exercising until my late 40s. I picked a gym that offered classes, and made it the first thing I did at the beginning of the day. After that I'm ready to work.

> Regardless of what that vision is, at least then Windows would be a something, rather than a whole host of competing ideas and contradictions i.e. a mess.

the big problem is, and this is primarily why i dislike everything windows, is that humans are mimicry machines. if you give them tooling that's an inconsistent mess, it's going to normalize the idea of inconsistent messes, and then they will create inconsistent messes.

windows ultimately normalizes inconsistency and mediocrity- as such, it encourages these habits of mind in those who are forced to use it. if those who are forced to use it are in any sort of creative positions, they ultimately create and propagate chaos that matches the cage which they are forced to reside within.
I got my first walkman when I was 9. It is the best device I have owned ever (it's still working, although I don't use it anymore). The second best device is my iPod Shuffle (4th gen), which is sadly dying slowly and I can't find a good replacement (I don't like to go out for a run with my phone sticked to my arm, nor I use Spotify/Apple Music or any music platform... I have tons of mp3 files).

I have the same/similar patterns in my life. What I do is:
I use kettlebells as my main and mostly only exercise tool. I occasionally run and cycle to work although last two are least options in my routine. Kettlebell is like 99% what I use. They are a great tool to build up stamina and strength with muscles[0]. I recommend to check Pavel Tsatsuline[1] “Enter the Kettlebell”[2]. Regarding the diet/eating I do daily fasting[4]
and can recommend this for sure although it expects some planning with nutrition in your meals. Now regarding food if you wanna eat healthy stop buying/eating processed foods or reduce as much as possible, reduce sugar consumption overall especially artificial one, try to make your meals from raw foods as often as you can, I for example make meals for whole week over the weekend, it saves a lot of time.

There is a lot of age-ism in the industry.

But there are also a lot of people who thought that if they learned one environment they'd have a job forever, like their dad running the panel stamper at GM or working in a coal mine.

I know of one particular guy who learned dBase III and is still using it, and stubbornly refuses to move off it despite his employer deep-sixing the system in favour of a new outsourced one. The old one "still works" despite blowing out the theoretical size limit of dBase III and having to live every day on a knife edge of not knowing whether the environment will start again today, but he is uninterested in learning anything new.

I'm not 65 but I am over 50. I don't find it hard to keep up with new tech, in fact that experience makes it easier as all the "new tech" is usually just old stuff reinvented by people who don't know history. Which is fine, it's boring to read about the crufty beardies and their epic hacks. Perhaps it's better to keep it an open secret so I can keep programming longer.

This is a very uncharitable view of how most people would feel in this situation.

-

Imagine a lottery/raffle/etc. where the state says "we're probably not going to be drawing the results for this, so instead of giving you a ticket with an expected value of $0.05 we'll give you a guaranteed $10 right now"

Mathematically that's a very generous offer!

But then the state turns around and runs the lottery after everyone takes them up on that offer with the understanding the ticket would be worth $0 if there's no draw.

The state paid you more than the expected value of your ticket, by the math you got compensated more than a fair amount and the odds are you would have made a lot less than $10... but do you think most people will be upset?

More upset than if they had just lost a normal drawing?
