People got old and wanted social security and medicare

The reality is that the Baby Boomers only cared about the deficit when they were paying taxes. Now they aren't (retired) so f it, let's spend on us as much as possible until we die.
Who cares though? Do you really want to keep something like the same pieces of furniture your whole life? Sounds depressing. People like buying new stuff.
Indeed. We have an aging Audi that has adaptive cruise control. Recently the radar unit failed. To get it replaced at a dealer will cost about half of what the car is worth.
Sounds like we need to start taxing the rich a lot more to pay it off.
Awesome feedback. Thanks! I've read that "running" shoes are built a bit differently than "walking" shoes, with regard to fit and function, so I was worried about doing further damage by walking in running shoes.

And funny enough, I recently switched to Asics from a lifetime of Brooks! But I still have both, and like both.
Literally everything...

I just decommissioned a 2010 40 core Intel that ran around this clock under full load, because the power consumption was outlandish. Replaced with 5950x and it benches within ten seconds on "all core kernel compile" - time make -j16 on new and time make -j40 on old.

Realistically I'd be happier with more threads for what I do, 100% of the time. I have "high clock" CPUs for single threaded workloads specifically so I don't fall into this 'ghz matters' trap.
Well no they couldn't, it was given to them.
The rest of the world has seen the same price increases.
The "failure to stay relevant" is an odd comment that I have indeed read many times (mostly from English-speakers; as I said, in Latin America the FSF is admired).

It's odd because it's worded in a way that sounds as if the FSF wasn't necessary now (or maybe even never), instead of thinking that the FSF is needed more than ever, now that there's a war against general purpose computing and against privacy and users' rights, and that if the GPL3 and AGPL didn't work -- which is possible! -- then how do we fix that?

Instead it's either apathy and even scorn against the FSF, which is alarming to me.

> It doesn't take a tremendous amount of science studies to know folks don't get respiratory infections outdoors at a sunny, windy beach.

They do at the crowded indoor public restrooms at the beach which are kind of essential to keeping the beach open.
I'm skeptical that JavaScript and WASM are anywhere near being suitable for any and all backend services.

For example, Cloudflare workers can't even talk to the outside world with anything other than fetch(). There's websockets, but only as a pair to talk to a browser that connected to you.

I'm a fan of Workers, but they do have limitations.
This, you'd be surprised how well it works. My latest web app (~1 year old) is on the first page for a popular single word keyword, and #1 or 2 for a ton of two word searches that are relevant to my industry. Google must know that people are finding what they are looking for because I've never made a site with such good search presence for such minimal effort (I don't have many posts or articles on the site, and do no outreach for backlinks)

I block Wikipedia from all search results, mainly because so many links to sources are broken or paywalled. This is kind of ridiculous for an outfit that claims all information must be properly sourced and no 'original research' is allowed.

It would seem fairly easy for Wikipedia to examine its own pages for broken links and flag any such link (and its related content) as unreliable. Wonder what that would look like...
Neither is Chicago.

"Chicago's annual revenue is $11 billion but its pension credit card debt is $33 billion."

Comparing annual revenue to total pension liabilities is silly.

(As is calling it "credit card debt" to make people think it's incurring 20% interest penalties. That's a deliberate choice to prompt a false impression when reading the article, IMO.)
For sure this is not the first instance of censorship but I'm not aware of any famous American politicians getting censored before, are there any?
It doesn't cost anywhere near that for someone on medicare (under $200), which an 80 year old man would be. Quoting out-of-pocket costs for a medical procedure that's covered by insurance for the vast majority of people is kinda weird.

As far as I understand it, it has nothing to do with creditor’s ability to collect but the interest future creditors will be willing to part with their money for.

With an institution even a fraction the size of the US federal government, I don’t think people can reasonably collect, and instead the incentive to take care of current creditors is to give future creditors confidence that their investment is safe. Historically this allows the US to borrow at very low rates.

> So Ron Paul learned that YouTube is not radically libertarian.

Nothing more radically libertarian than exercising your private property rights to control what ideas are spread by use of that property.

The people complaining on the basis that private parties should not have the right to control what ideas are spread using their own property, OTOH, are clearly not radically libertarian.
Would you say that you experience synesthesia or are you describing "aphantasic workarounds"?
From one law class I took the way it was explained is this.

The original purpose of non-competes was for people like C-Suite executives, and sales people. The point being that you don't want sales people walking out the door and taking a whole client list with them etc. This makes sense because you want to protect things like IP, strategy etc. The theory goes that companies wouldn't want to build up long term strategies or technologies if those people can just walk out the door and bring those things with them. It's also unfair to the company that a salesperson can walk out the door with a client list.

For your standard employee it shouldn't be used, but in 2008 when the recession happened companies got away with it and now it's standard even if they're unenforceable. They get "blue penned" a lot, where the terms of the non-compete get changed in court. IANAL but non-competes have been around forever and I doubt they would violate things like the 13th amendment or something like that.

Tbh I think the best of both worlds would be that you force companies to do the thing Wall Street Traders get. If you want to sign a non-compete the company has to pay out the employee's salary for X amount of years the company wants them off the market. Provides a nice balance where the company can't just non-compete everyone b/c now they have skin in the game.
It's awksome :)
Every time I hear about self-driving, I just think how bad every media system UI and functionality of BT, etc. in cars have ever been.

Don't forget, when "everything" goes up in value, so do stocks as well. Don't focus on the potential of Weimar bread lines, and look at the stock speculators who made baaaaaank! Its not an egalitarian system, play the cards you were dealt!
It's a misleading way of calculating the number, since it refers to all of the future debt obligations, including Social Security out many decades -- but also ignoring the fact that we'll be collecting taxes all that time.

It's a bit like concluding that you're a million dollars in debt because you are going to need to buy food for the rest of your life. I suppose it's true -- it is something you need to plan for. But it's misleading to suggest that it means you're automatically destined for bankruptcy.

The fact is that Social Security is in trouble: the pay-as-you-go plan doesn't work with an increasing lifespan. The establishment of the Trust Fund didn't really solve it -- it really just increased the size of the federal government without having to explicitly borrow money (and then still somehow managed to also have to explicitly borrow money).

But that doesn't make "$146T" a meaningful number. The meaningful number is 2033, the year Social Security is projected to run out of money. Also, conveniently, the year I qualify for Social Security -- this is something Gen X'ers have always expected, though it got worse during the pandemic.

That doesn't automatically mean we won't get anything, but it does mean that the government is going to have an even harder time meeting its obligations.
Funny - I'm sure many people could argue the same about democrats - they're the ones firing people for not undergoing unnecessary medical procedures and coordinating with multinational companies on censorship guidance.

On the inequality front - I just wish the media didn't fan the flames all the time and make it feel like the only thing that matters. If I didn't know how the rest of the world lives I probably wouldn't care as much about it. If I see stories about it all the time and people flaunting their wealth it aggravates me.

I also recognize it is a real problem and we can solve it likely through policy/political will power. It in and of itself is not going to solve our problems.
Likewise, there was a time when microcomputers weren't suitable for many applications. Sometimes a new approach (edit: and ultimately a better one) has to start at the low end and work its way up.
Because only 2-3 people die from the virus a year so the medical benefit does not outweigh the risks. Neither does the financial cost benefit. Even at $10/per shot, it would cost >$1 billion per life saved.

SSDs are getting better and better, however it appears that if they die, they do without giving any hints, while HDs often send signals that if caught in time allow to back up important things before they stop functioning (errors, slowness, noises and clicks etc.) That is not an excuse for not keeping updated backups, but tell this to the average Joe.

My personal approach is this one: no probs with SSDs on my laptops as they don't contain data that is not already backed up elsewhere. On my NAS I use only HDs and plan not to change this for several years. On desktop machines there are two possibilities: either a boot SSD and homes+documents+etc. on a HD, or if space permits, everything on a SSD but a cron script will rsync important things regularly on a mirror HD.
I wonder if another reason for that is that there were fewer types of things one would buy back in the day. If I didn't have a phone or computer or earbuds or flights to other parts of the US or other countries, etc., then I might spend more on a premium furniture.

I definitely don't think that tells the whole story, but do think it could play a part in it.
> Just wish inequality wasn't so fucking huge.

Printing money leads to greater inequality. Expect more of it.
> I'm surprised they picked Ron Paul to test this on.

It's the perfect way to approach it. If what is being said is verifiably false and causes tremendous harm to people why should politicians get treated differently?

What other policies should they be exempt from because they are trying to build a brand for politics?
Ad 2) There were no alternatives to local carpenters 100 years back. If you wanted a wardrobe, you would get one built for you.

Perhaps we shouldn't.

The EU estimates that half the fatalities on the road will be prevented with these systems. That's 10.000 lives each year. If that's true, increasing the cost marginally is more than worth it (and it really is marginally, budget cars have not noticably increased in price).
Documentation. When you're working on a new build, everything is frequently just in your head or those of your teammates, and that isn't a problem initially. And if you have one main product, you don't need to spend a lot of time on documenting which resources were for what. When you have a bunch of old ones, which you may not actually often spend much time on, it's much more important to be able to figure out why that old thing is running, exactly what was shipped to customers when (in the case of physical product). Otherwise you risk having to do archaeology every time you turn round. Or just not having the information when some customers says that X has stopped working on a device that you shipped 5 years ago but guaranteed for 10.
Oh wow - I've never heard of NeWS before. That sounds like it was 20 years ahead of it's time and all the ideas had to be reinvented in Javascript to succeed. Thanks for the links.
If you tax 100% of the money rich people have, it wouldn’t even put a dent in the debt.
Interesting. I've done dual-writes at the application level to migrate the datastore for a smaller feature (branch by abstraction), but never for an entire application. And the code path was quite simple, so it was easy to think about all of the edge cases at one time in your head.

Do you have any resources which talk through the read/write/backfill approach?

Dead on. It's pressure from both sides, so to speak. Not only are we paying more for goods, the goods themselves are declining in quality.

Furniture is a great example. Another is home appliances. Refrigerators, washers and driers etc have absolutely tanked in quality.

We are getting less for more money, but inflation only counts half of that.

> solid software that open source doesn't come close to

> Open source doesn't even have an answer here.

> Open source sucks here too.

> open source not close

> But it sucks for the vast majority of product categories used by professionals.

This is all irrelevant to me. Companies should pay for the open source software they use today, not for the bad and non-existent alternatives that they don't.

> Offering something for free, then calling it mooching when someone uses it for free, is simply childish emotional blackmail.

Meh. As my kids would say, "That sounds like a you problem." :D

Just because open source maintainers legally allow companies to mooch doesn't mean they're not mooching. ;)

But I mean don't get me wrong, maintainers can be a whiny bunch sometimes for sure. ;)

> open source being unable to meet market demand

Open source software is a public good, and markets are so bad at efficiently provisioning public goods that this is in fact their text-book failure mode:

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/marketfailure.asp

In other words, _of course_ Photoshop trounces GIMP. Use Photoshop, by all means! :D

But! What if we can evolve our markets? That's the macro opportunity here:

1. A critical mass of companies voluntarily pay for the open source software they use today. This is primarily in developer tooling as you point out (Linux, web frameworks, etc.).

2. Existing open source projects become more professional, by which I mean they get better at things besides coding, like design, sales, support, management, etc.

3. Software other than developer tools starts to be built as open source. This depends on the first two things happening.

Why is this interesting? To me it's interesting because it's a slight glimmer of a real opportunity to decouple work from employment, so that individuals can work collaboratively more out of intrinsic motivation than for a paycheck. This doesn't solve all the world's problems and doesn't come without its own challenges, but I think it's an interesting and generally positive evolution of society that is fun to be a part of. :)

More people than it is feasible to get into one meeting at a time :) I usually am thinking of 20+ to <200 people - probably my sweet spot is around 50-75, but it depends a lot on the people at the company. Basically the size where they start wanting to have things figured out, instead of just being amazed they work at all.

In startup terms? Private companies, usually post Series A (usually B or C) but not yet private equity unicorn rounds. In market cap terms it's 100m+ to <2b or ARR ~2m to ~25m for a sass-style company. still a "small cap" in the grand scheme of things.
I have no idea if each boom brings us closer. Scientific discovery is not exactly a linear process; we can’t observe before the fact if we’re getting closer or are on a dead end path, and that’s even assuming we can ever get there at all.

But it’s hard to deny that each boom doesn’t give us something useful. Neural Nets might not exactly make an AGI, but they do have uses.
At some level, absolutely. Your organizations aren't usually totally independent units - they need to interoperate with other organizations.

To the extent that the spaghetti of infrastructure prevents effective interop, that's a problem.

And as the need for interop grows between two orgs the cost of the various hacks, shims, and other cheap adaptations, escalates, until unification of infrastructure starts looking awwwwfully tempting.

Of course, unification comes with its own set of problems.
Oddball question: I wonder if that syncing happens with people who are not neurotypical -- examples, ADHD, Autism, etc.

Are the syncing happening because of following along the narrative structure and character emotions? What about use of music scores, visual cues, etc.?

To what extent of this syncing happens with personality types or emotional states? For example, do extroverts tend to sync more than introverts? If someone is relaxed and attentive vs. someone is anxious and distracted, how much would that change?
