Perhaps, but I'm constantly reminded how trivially my personal situation can become indistinguishable from that of any other hoarder should my discipline to finish what I've started wane.

I think anyone who takes on large costly DIY projects taking months to years for completion can relate. Sometimes I feel the only thing driving me to finish some projects is the fear of falling into a hoarding pattern while I tell myself the project is just on the backburner. If I became comfortable with letting outstanding projects enter a backburner mode indefinitely, it'd just be mental gymnastics enabling hoarding IMNSHO.

Edit:

I'm reminded of an interaction I had recently with customer service @ Home Depot, while I was returning some unused tools and materials for a project I changed directions on and no longer needed.

I'd mentioned to her how close I'd come to just keeping it all instead of returning, despite not needing any of it now, since it wasn't a large sum of money. But that a fear of becoming comfortable with such a rationalization to not return things would just enable a form of hoarding.

It apparently struck a nerve as she entered into some kind of confession mode. She enumerated a bunch of projects she has bought everything needed to do from tools to materials, sitting collecting dust for years, and never finds the time to actually start, let alone complete.
I would make him type his password from muscle memory, into a text editor (he wouldn't see the screen).

Then use this "Rosetta Stone 2.0" to manually translate the keys sequence into QWERTY : http://thekindle3books.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/QWERTY...

I don't need him to "tell" me the password, I just need him to do the fingers choreography that express it.
I think we’ve lost the plot.
The important thing is if you can recall and then use what’s in the book.

If it takes repetition or length to do it, so be it.

Some books even recommend you read them a second time for that purpose, like Getting Things Done and How To Win Friends and Influence People.
That would be sustainable in a gentrifying or high income area, as bespoke products are massively expensive. I've been purchasing custom made shoes for many years now, and it's not unusual to spend $500-1500 even for medium level quality (not peak quality, like Berlutti shoes[1]).

The stubborn fact is that economies of scale are a real thing, and so there is a limited market for paying bespoke prices for every day objects like shoes.

It would make sense in that we need a net reduction in atmospheric carbon, and not 100% of carbon emissions come from burning fuel.

Though, I do see your point-- This only pencils out once you've captured 100% of the available fuels market, which is quite large.

Neat! An HSM sounds like way overkill for a developer machine, but I could see that being useful for other use cases.

The TPM is a good option because every non-Mac ships with one already (and there are similar facilities available on macs).

I see. Using that logic wouldn’t any investment on large established entities be anti-innovation. That applies to Palantir, right?

Is the most libertarian act to fund as many unique thus potentially innovative teams, people, or companies as possible? What do you do when one of those people or companies stagnate in their research or become another established entity?

I read Zero to One upon its release. It was short after the start of my career in tech. I think now as I did then, there is always room for improvement and the need for critical inquiry (critique) applied evenly to all things. I didn’t fully grasp the momentum of life. That includes governing bodies, corporations, markets, relationships, your own body. The concept of disruption and innovation to improve oneself or the world or a job or a tool is addicting. Where I get stuck is thinking through the consequences from innovation or large scale disruption. Back in 2014, FB was a good societal thing and now in 2021 not so much. Was it worth it? I lost my train of thought here.

Meanwhile, in the eastern parts of the EU, it’s totally common to transact tens of thousands of Euros in cash, with lawyers preparing the contracts and observing the counting of the cash, especially for real estate.

Less common but not exactly rare in Spain, I would assume also Greece and Portugal. Can’t comment of France but in Germany it would be really weird, though probably legal.

For the purposes of that comparison, nothing. Just like with stock, your soda wouldn't be taxed until you actually sell it.

The alternative that would "fix" this is if you bought a soda you'd have to gradually pay taxes as the market value goes up and down. Or if you're worried about losing out on tax revenue when your kids inherit your soda collection, you could remove it limit the cost basis step up
White House weighs invoking defense production act to get chip data
What is "simple to mandate" has not been effectively turned into results even after a decade of "legislation". The rest is nothing but "discussions" or big laws that don't really accomplish anything.

What is the point again? To have "discussions" or to effect change?

I wish I could say something like "keep waiting for the EU to being actually effective, I will be over there with the people that can get stuff done", but the main problem is that the more time passes, the more the EU finds a way to fuck with ordinary citizens and the more we have midwits asking to be supervised, afraid to step outside the lines and pointing out at those that fight the absurdity of it all.
Efficient that you got it sorted out in one go. Well done!
If you want a few guys for security at any given time, and you want security 24/7, and you need security at multiple locations, then this all adds up really fast.

3 people in three shifts is 9 people needed per day. Given that people aren't going to work 7 days a week, you need extra people for coverage and weekend shifts. Let's be conservative and say 15 total. This is per location. Office, house, second house. That's 45 people. That's $266k per year in cost per person. Given the expenses of the motor pool, motor pool maintenance, travel accommodations and expenses for personal, the admin overhead of managing 45 people, etc etc this sounds fairly reasonable to me. If I was a billionaire I'd be spending at least that much too.

I'm struggling with a mixture of sadness and desire to build my own shop. The answer was obvious for Grant but how does a normal person decide to go all out and build something like that versus just trying to find space in the garage for yet one more thing?
I have both. I agree with the gripes about the thumb cluster acting as a pivot, it's not an optimal design but it's plenty comfortable for me.

The big reason I wanted to try it is the thumb layout is more ergonomic and conducive to chording. On the right thumb cluster I map the four keys to 15 bit encoded layer. I don't _use_ all that space, but I have over a thousand keypoints at my disposal.

But I do use the bottom 3 (plus base) quite heavily. It's more ergonomic to move frequent keys to near home rows in a higher space.
Ads wouldn't be a security/privacy risk if they didn't try to track people across multiple sites and build profiles on people. If ads were served from the same site as the publication and aggregate statistics were kept locally, I'd have no problem seeing them and they'd be more likely to be relevant. It isn't ads that I want to block, it's cross-site tracking. Advertisers need to figure out how to adapt or fewer and fewer people will see their ads.
Communities collapse slowly, then suddenly. The first sign is when people complain that it's dead, when they hate themselves for using it. Eventually one person makes the move to drop it, then more people drop than stay, until certain people are no longer using it and there's no reason to stay.

Community deaths are often undocumented because people often stop using it quietly. When you come back for a visit, you just find nobody there and stop visiting again.

The main problem is that there's no real replacement at the moment. A lot of my friends have agreed to leave Facebook, but we have nowhere else to hang out.
To be clear, the 61% figure is unique to the exceptional circumstances of 2020, and "It's expected to fall back down to 42% in 2022 and remain at around 41% or 42% through 2025".[0]

I don't know if you think that 42% of Americans paying no federal income tax would be a sufficiently small percentage that the criticism of billionaire tax rates would suddenly become valid, but it's worth pointing out that 58% of Americans therefore would be paying these taxes and would constitute a majority of the voting public.

In front of Zuckerberg’s house in San Francisco, 24 hours a day, there is a man sitting in a black escalade watching his house. That’s not free.

I imagine it’s like that across his numerous properties, as well as more who travel with him at all times.
That's true with any system you haven't sufficiently studied.
>Follow the money long enough and you'll find most taxes are paid by the individual consumer in roundabout and convoluted ways.

I take it you didn't look at the link I posted. The entire field of economics would disagree with you.

Part of the cost is shifted to consumer, depending on elasticity. The rest is paid by owners. Billionaires tend to own companies that pay tax, money which would otherwise have accrued to the owner.

That is what the CBO report I linked quantifies.
Same here, and not even GCP is that bad with the 'release' vs. 'beta' APIs that intermingle constantly.

Most of the time Azure feels like just another 'we have virtual machines and a crappy API' service. Kinda like a pretend-cloud where a lot of products come almost together but never finish. Almost similar to the way Windows and backwards compatibility means you end up with 100 libraries, frameworks, languages and versions all sitting side-by-side and not really working together, just differently in parallel. Not useful for automation at all, which makes it not useful at scale. (Except when scaling means: we want to run windows VMs with AD and go from 10 to 100 and change no parameters at all)

Only thing that i could find that matches this is the following whitepaper:

https://unfinished.com/wp-content/uploads/dsnp_whitepaper.pd...

> Content hosting is assumed, by default, to be the responsibility of the sender. It is, however, possible for the sender to delegate this responsibility to a third party. The only criteria for content hosting is that the data should be persistently available and have unrestricted access for retrieval.

And the paper goes on to suggest swarm (not sure what that is) or ipfs.

So not only you will be needing to pay for gas for your social graph interactions on the blockchain, you need to either manage your own content store, or pay someone else to do it for you.

Sigh.
Solution: cut taxes for average taxpayers, balancing the budget by cutting spending. Everyone has a favorite program, so to make it politically easy, just cut every program by the same rate.

At the turn of the last century, government spending was something around 3% of GDP. Today, it's about 36%. This figure goes way up whenever there is a new war or entitlement program. It can be cut.

Oh, you meant a literal modem-with-a-USB-port... okay, yeah.

An alternative might be to use one of those standalone cellular-to-wifi hotspots, connect the iPod touch to it via wifi, and then use a VoIP app. That way you can keep the hotspot in a backpack, perhaps with a big power bank / battery, rather than dealing with the unwieldy physical dongle.
What makes us humans intelligent and able to learn so quickly is our reasoning faculty especially our conceptual reasoning capabilities. There is no intelligence and learning without that, just sophisticated ml/dl pattern matching / perception. Symbolic AI led to the first AI winter because a symbol is just an object that represents another object. That's not a lot to work with.

The AI industry needs to finally discover conceptual reasoning to actually achieve any understanding. In the mean time huge sums of money, energy and time are being wasted on ml/dl on the idea that given enough data and processing power, intelligence will magically happen.

This IBM effort doesn't even remotely model how the human brain works.

My friend and I have a theory that this is because their docs are written by people so intimately familiar with how MS does things, they can no longer conceive of a situation where someone doesn’t already understand and think in the same way.

It’s like the business equivalent of the “once you understand a monad you can no longer explain it” meme.
From my experience, it already does. It's also made Android development an order of magnitude more pleasant.
Well, that simply isn't true. Facebook's communications platform is as real as any other communications platform.

I think you're confusing carte-blanche acceptance (which I haven't suggested) with considering the relative weight of your suggested ethical issue.

Have you called for people to quit working for ATT? For Google? Are there any telecom or software companies you don't think people should refuse to work for?
In this instance, no. The FTC authorized the settlement of $5 billion, and that's what Facebook paid. It's not like the FTC authorized a settlement for $1 billion and Facebook paid $5 billion.

The "overpayment" alleged by the lawsuit is that the settlement should've been far, far less than $5 billion, but was increased to that amount in order to prevent Zuckerberg from being individually targeted, thereby "overpaying".

Caveat: I'm not a lawyer, and I just have a basic understanding of this entire issue.

>If you add up the cash inflow and outflows, you will get a net negative per person equal to the average fee paid

If no theft was involved, then you can't have a net negative number for total cash flows, can you? The fees went somewhere.
I tried that once before, unfortunately the switches were crap and some of them quickly died/stopped registering keypresses at all within days.

Just ordered a split keyboard (kinesis freestyle edge) with MX speed silver (1.2mm travel) switches. Will see how it goes this time.
We (different organization) had a similar conversation with GCP, with similar results.
I struggle to agree with that. If someone publicly shit-talks their colleagues on social media, even outside of work hours, that will create a toxic environment.

Same as if they make comments comparing black people to apes, rant about how much you hate gays, or (yes!) share your thoughts about how you wish white people would disappear.

My company once took a project on Azure, and ended up giving a 35% cut on our invoices to move to AWS. The bugs I filed while working on that project are still not closed.

That was 4 years ago.
Yes. We found a problem with Azure’s IPv6 support a while back.

It took quite literally months to get the issue escalated to someone who could do anything about it, and as far as I know it’s still broken, although it’s scheduled to be fixed this year. We had to pay for this “support” too. We worked around the problem in the end, but still.
We don't get much spam from Azure reps, but APM/metrics/logs companies like DataDog really are trying hard to schedule free-of-charge "presentations" with our teams. Unless they are faking out MTA headers and mail client details, the mail templates are actually edited and sent from a desktop by an actual sales/advocate/devrel guy. Yuck.
A lot of cancellation happens for those with felonies on their record.
Yes! I get insurance quote email that is so blatantly obviously spam that it made me think that there is either a bug in the spam filter or it’s something more insidious. It’s been happening for a while and training Gmail to filter it isn’t working.

> in fact there are two almost separate problems we have from an environemntal/sustainability point of view

Indeed they are, and I'd argue that in current situation, we can and should ignore one of them.

Climate change is an immediate existential threat to human civilization. Long-living, mostly inert waste is an inconvenience. As long as we're still sourcing majority of our energy from fossil fuels, more energy use = more carbon footprint = worsening the crisis. The issue of plastic waste is irrelevant relative to that - we can clean the house up after it is no longer on fire.
>"I don't get how taxing "income from stocks" would work. Suppose you buy a stock at $100 and it go up to $200. Do you pay taxes on $100 because that's "income", even though its just a number. If its 30%, I would have to sell 15% of my stock, which would also trigger capital gains tax."

Some places use this system, I believe there is talk of implementing it in New York State. The biggest problem occurs in situations like the dot-com bust, where an asset appreciates, and taxes are owed on those 'gains', so the individual takes out a loan to pay the taxes, and in the meantime, the asset drops in value. Individuals in this case may be forced to declare bankruptcy because of the taxes on an asset which rapidly fluctuated in value.

The US DOJ absolutely gets its rocks off pursuing those hiding behind tech barriers, especially those who brag about it. Lots of promotions and prestige for those who nail a Mr. Big. Additionally they develop the tech to sweep up copycats.

Theoretically you could shut down after several months and take your dough to a country where the long arm of the DOJ can't get you. Russia and Iran are about the only choices.

You can use the existing Obj-C libraries instead, which by definition do not use them.

I find it hilarious that Obj-C devotees object to this, since it precisely mirrors their argument for decades in the face of bogus performance complaints: “you can just use normal C functions”. They were right then, and you can just use Obj-C libraries today.
Woah, I'm a linux gamer but %5 by 23 is crazy. Steam Deck is going to be super niche, and a lot of people over on reddit are already planning how they will install Windows on it.

And lets not forget that Microsoft will combat it if it starts to take off. Game pass is already and incredible deal. We have it in our house for the xbox.
We (me and my SO) are saving and planning to move out of the city, to a piece of rural land that has its own water source and where we can grow most of the food we eat.

This should happen in a couple of years, once our daughter will be old enough to get a licence and drive to the city if she wants; we don't want her to be cut off from her network of friends.

Climate change is not the only reason why we are doing this but it's part of the list of "risk factors" that in our opinion made it a bad idea to keep living in a city.

We are in Sydney NSW, Australia and we will move to rural NSW.

Climate related factors that we considered in terms of the new location are: no low lying coastal areas, no areas located in a flood plain, no areas close to dense woodlands in order to lower fire risk.
The biggest issue is that I've experienced some of that creep with GitHub Actions. It's a mess, doesn't do what it needs to do and besides "presenting" features/functionality it can't actually do even the basic things a nasty old Jenkins installation in an AWS ASG does.

They practically just copied some Azure CI stuff over (which was obviously written from a completely different perspective/mindset) using a tech stack that is old yet immature when compared to even relatively young products like GitLab CI.

If a company wants to come up with a CI product but can't even get on par with basic nominal GitLab CI features and usability, what's the point...
