> You'll admit that the category of 'anyone who has compared mainstream American politics to Nazism in a published article' is a pretty wide net though?

No, I won't. "Published an article in a national periodical about mainstream American politics at all" is already a really small net! "Did it in the past two months" vanishingly less so! "And is giving a PR speech for their university" and I bet we're down to population size ~1.

I think universities as a whole would be a lot better off if they stopped considering this body of op-ed-cum-think-tank-writers pretending to be journalists worthy of serious attention at all, Nazi comparisons or no. And I think it says a lot about Mounk's own social circles that he considers this behavior de rigueur.

(Not Gonna Lie, now you read as desperate and confused. I hope things will get better for you soon.)

"In the core language" means not in a library. Thus, "core library" is an oxymoron. So, having things like sum types and iterators implemented in the core language, not in the standard library, betrays language weakness. Is this concept difficult for you? Take your time.

I know you were already aware that volatile and native array types in C++ came to it from C. Nobody ever suggested C was a powerfully expressive language. So, only confusion could provoke criticism of volatile in C++. (You earlier expressed confusion about the need for C++ to maintain backward compatibility with C. Please do think it through.)

It might seem strange that nobody implements or uses the freestanding C++ subset, yet people nonetheless continually propose additions to it. Standardization is strange, and people have reasons they do not always tell.

The bar seems quite low
I don’t follow. Do you think a material thing outside of the person is plausibly the main cause for the having the one kind of toast over the other?

The motion of the limbs appears to be a result of signals sent from the brain.

If one believes that one is one’s brain (which, I’m not a materialist, but if I was, it seems to me like the two plausible options would be “a person is their brain(+ body + perhaps their papers and the parts of their environment which they maintain in order to regulate their own actions)” or “people don’t exist”),

then it seems straightforward that, like, one’s actions, stemming from one’s brain activity, therefore stem from oneself.

And if that’s what one mean by “free will”, that seems reasonably coherent.

(If one’s view of what people are is that there are no people, then it also follows that all people have free will. However, this conflicts with my observation of having an internal experience, so I reject the “there are no people” position. Though, seeing as I am not a materialist in part for similar reasons, perhaps people committed to materialism wouldn’t see this as that much of a reason not to conclude that there are no people/selfs, only things (like oneself) which appear to behave like people)

That is really good advice.

They have replicator, transporter, force field and holodeck technology, with ships that can travel between solar systems in days or weeks time. Why would the Federation be dystopian? It's long after the events of WW3. In First Contact Geordi tell Zefram Cochrane that 50 years after contact with the Vulcans, war, disease and poverty on Earth would be eliminated. Picard tells Lilly in the same movie that money is no longer used. People work to better themselves.

At least until the recent Star Trek, fans understood the Federation to be utopian. That was Gene Roddenberry's optimistic view of human potential. That we would get past our current issues. Q even puts the Enterprise crew on trial in TNG's first episodes for various historical crimes, and Picard is able to argue that humanity has evolved past much of that.

It's only really with external threats and other cultures that the Federation's values are challenged, and sometimes compromised.

The problem with increasing productivity is that one consumption stops keeping up, it kicks off a bad spiral:

spending/productity goes down

labor income goes down

spending goes down (rich people save much more)

spending/productivity goes down

...

In principle, this can continue until the now-overkill old (physical) capital falls apart, and perhaps knowledge that went with it, and living amidst ruins, spending/productivity stabilizes again.

Of course 97% is nonsense. And $11.7M per family is completely untaxed, something the billionaires pushing for an end to inheritance tax do an amazing job of obfuscating.
I still don’t think it is a zero sum game, persay, but that is a good point about entrenched nobility. Even then the problem is are they exploitative, or are they generous. Then having power is only bad if they are evil. But fortune and chance will affect all, some will rise up, and some will fall down.
I think as a whole the economic pie would grow if all of us strove that our families might become nobility.

Falsely said indeed.
I disagree with all your assessments. I think specific, discuss-able questions like this lead to educational answers. Asking questions about something isn't disrespectful.
Cause and effect is backwards. The kids went to do finance shit, because without spending keeping up productivity, it made no sense to improve productive capacity

Why build more stuff if no one is going to buy it (near today's prices) and labor is already cheap?

“You can’t defeat reality” has been my favorite line with some managers lately. I have been in plenty of planning meetings where somebody declared that something needs to be done by end of month or the world will go under. When you point out to them that X,Y and Z need to be done before that and historically they never got done in under six weeks they just don’t accept it. Of course things don’t get done by end of month, the world doesn’t go under and the same thing will happen again with the next project.

I find it really tiring to not being able to have an honest conversation with leaders. There are probably plenty of things that can be improved but first you need to accept reality before you can make meaningful changes.

I often feel that middle management is one big pyramid of people bullshitting each other constantly and people seem ok with that.
Or they just don't want to maintain two different versions of their software for cars with and without it.
It's one thing that so many people who really should know better call anything Unix-y Linux.

Now we're completely going the whole way and calling macOS Linux, too?

> "Justice" is only available to the rich in the US.

I disagree. I think we can all agree the government has a monopoly on violence which it is relatively inclined to use. The US system depends on the idea that someone will challenge the use of that monopoly in their particular instance, which we call precedent. It is true that people not-of-means may be subject to that violence unjustly but it only takes the government messing with the wrong person once to establish precedent. The wrong person could be rich but they could also just be a person who catches public support.
> things like `.append` changing the object, returning `None` instead of creating a copy and returning that

The obvious question is why it can't return a reference to the list instead of returning None. I feel like if I've been using the language on an almost daily basis for ten years now and I still get burned by that all the time, then it's just a poorly designed feature.
Very glad to see Rust on PIC32! This microcontroller is one of the very few that is still made in DIP package making it ideal for breadboardind and easy through-hole soldering, and by far most powerful, making it ideal choice for interesting projects.

For you perhaps, but some people have the terminal goal of avoiding vaccination, even if that increases the threat. That is why the government is doing anything and everything, including FUD, to push vaccines down peoples' throats. Their actions will always seem irrational if you ignore that.

That's fundamentally wrong.

You are not living a 20th century lifestyle. You don't sit in a mostly wooden building with minimal electricity or gas lighting with reading and radio as your primary entertainment.

At the very least you now have a computer that was certainly manufactured and assembled on the other half of the globe and transported to you. You likely have a lot of electrical appliances like ovens, a fridge, AC, and hot water.

You likely don't live 3 or 4 generations to a 1000sq ft house.

That we work the same in general has more to do with (imo positive) lifestyle inflation than some evil banker sitting on their slightly larger boat than the one you own.
If people didn't imagine their own reality, what then are they to believe? "Real" reality? Which one?
I think there some subliminal need for people to mention lynching when it's innapropriate. Happens far too much to be coincidence.

Guy gets protested because he says 'providing support for historically discriminated-against groups in America is just like the Nazi regime' and you can almost guarantee someone is going to call it a lynching. I initially thought people were doing it to be intentionally provocative, but it appears to be some unintended impulse, probably the same 'imp of the perverse' thing that drove the initial guy to bring the Nazis into a discussion about affirmative-action as if that was going to add some clarity to his approach to the topic.
I also naively hope nobility will be more akin to Poldark, so... I could just be wrong.
We know how well that worked for Symbian.
You're talking canon. I'm talking fan theories. Canon is limited to the perspective of the people who had to go through the wringer of studio meddling and appeasing broadcasters. There's a reason Discovery is the first to have a gay relationship, trans character, and nonbinary character. Most of the people involved in the previous shows at least since TNG wanted to do that but couldn't get past all the interests in the way. I consider a world without people like me in it pretty dystopic because there's only two things that do that: suppression and genocide.
If stopped giving a shit about deficits and started spending more, we would get way richer (in real and monetary terms) and in fact pay down the old debt --- but it's truly not worth keeping track of anyways so let's just print the money as is our legal right and get back to the future.

I think this is a great idea.

That being said, I think it's a bit too advanced for someone with no CLI experience whatsoever.

It would be great if this could be combined with a codecademy type thing so you can have clear instructions on the left and a terminal on the right.
If someone isn't of MIT-calibre merit (ie competence), then it's no good to them to pop them into an electrical engineering course that they can't handle, and it's especially no good for the ultra smart Asian American who was just racially discriminated against. They'll be better off at an easier institution where they'll have plenty of room to develop, and that unfairly excluded Asian will be better off at MIT.
I am an old sysadmin. I have been thinking recently I should get rid of my server in the roofspace and migrate stuff on it to the cloud.

Nobody has brought up how the US is such a homogenous market compared to Europe.

I can start a company in my town, target “Americans”, and have a reasonable chance of attracting users from a population of 330 million.

Much of Europe however focuses on national markets.

As a mundane example, France, UK, Germany all have their own grocery store chains. In the US, while regional chains exist, you also have many nationally well known brands like Kroger, Whole Foods, and Trader Joe’s.

Hey - LocalStack founder here. Thanks for the feedback.

We're currently investing some time and resources on refactoring the code base to improve the performance. We have some improvements in the pipeline which we should be able to roll out within the next 1-2 weeks.

Performance (as well as general UX) is definitely high up on our priority list, and we'll continue to invest heavily in this area. Stay tuned!

Happy for any additional suggestions and questions you may have.

iOS 14 released anti-tracking features in April of 2021. This article is released at the end of september, almost october, of 2021.

Yet, the authors choose to specifically use a version of iOS that was prior to these changes.

This is proof enough for me that the authors purposely skewed the data. This skewed data does not reflect reality, and so the data from this study is not data.

I hope the rest of this community is savvy enough to realize this article is attempting to dupe the readers into a false conclusion.
Also!

That same reality warping ability is necessary for a company:

The truth is no five people with a less than $1M are impressive as they are, so you need to sell that vision. And you need to sell at the next rounds of funding. Okay, now you’re all grown up — but your leaders are accustomed to that mindset.

And when you’re mature, you need to sell the workforce on a vision of the world as it could be. If you can’t imagine a different world and believe it, you won’t make an iPhone.

The secret sauce of being a good leader is balancing the reality as-it-is with as-it-could-be.

I think like many healthy-but-complex behaviors this dreaming can go really wrong when abused or with comorbidities (eg, narcissistic CEO).
You're arguing for something that in all likelihood requires a constitutional amendment.

Anti discrimination clauses only overrule the first amendments freedom of association due to the equal protection clause, and there's no reading that suggests that firing someone due to public pressure is implicitly discrimination.
I guess any study of what the 'survivors' did could inevitably be accused of survivorship bias, but IMO the framing of the article itself manages to avoid it, it's mostly just listing the growth strategies that these companies had and stays away from any claims that others will be successful by implementing them.
Feels safer though to pay than to get something for free.
The Atlantic is an interesting publication. I subscribed and appreciated it for years as an independent-minded outlet, even though it is usually far left of my perspectives.

In 2016, I unsubscribed because, well, the whole media went haywire and The Atlantic went down with them. I thought it was unrecoverable.

But it's nice to see a nuanced piece here that is capable of criticizing an idea while also criticizing the tactics of those who disagree with it. Maybe I should give it another chance.
Multiple interpretations are good, but I would argue there really was a break TOS's full employment culture, and today's stagnation culture. Let's not essentialize our current moment, projecting it back uncritically.

Based on food prices and the % of world income spent on food amongst the lowest income quartiles, another 10x or 100x would noticeably improve the lives of a large number of people.

Part of this is an uneven global distribution of productivity gains, but even in developed countries there is plenty of room for innovation to stabilize prices and prevent shocks.

Per the article, this isn't just about "credible accusations."

It's also about actual legal obligations.

> "Trident and a New Mexico firm acting as trust protector opted to end child-support payments, records show. In sealed court documents, obtained by The Post and the ICIJ, Trident argued that South Dakota law prevented the payments and that Pallanck was “not a good steward of his children’s finances.” The trust provides $1,500 a month for general expenses [vs the court-determined $8,500 for his two children with millionaire oil-heiress Cleopatra Cameron] , Pallanck said."

Unilaterally curtailing court-awarded child support payments is a pretty concrete topic.
Hmm. The article is a fluff piece about not being an asshole. (And not leading like Stalin i.e getting rid of everyone that brings any negative news)

That being said, the author is a consultant for large cap corporations with rigid cost structures and well defined business plans. I mention this because this forum is primarily startup focused. You always need some amount of err, "hopium" to struggle through the initial phases. Accepting reality isn't necessarily in your best interests. Businesses have different life cycles, the growth phase compared to the mature/sunsetting phase of a business are vastly different. The author is a consultant that has worked primarily on the latter.
I have a personal idea that we are undergoing a collective change overload which is causing us to back away from further innovation and change. It seems to me that all forms of excitement for future tech have turned to skepticism for the vast majority of people. At the same time, climate change is demonstrating the extreme dark side of technical progress. It seems that our legal, ethical and mental models need to catch up for a generation before we can begin envisioning new positive futures again.
