To those noting this is salary only: that's a completely fair criticism. For many tech employees this is less than half of their total comp.

The article explicitly mentions the push for remote work. The one thing I'll add is that it tends to be engineers and/or more senior employees who go remote and these I bet will tend to be above median salaries.

Lastly, to those saying a 0.3% drop is noise, I'll point out that this happened while other areas grew 6%. That seems a little more significant.
> The description of the trucking by duxup in the base of this thread [1]

Look, are you talking about trucking or are you talking about capitalism writ large? The larger capitalistic structure is both unjust and deeply unstable - but that topic is outside of the specific conditions of trucking and the accuracy of monitoring systems. The limits of the accuracy of surveillance systems are relevant, as far as I know, to all economic systems.

Or, to put it another way, I will ask again: what period do you see this system being unstable over? If it's just the covid pandemic then I see the disruption, but I disagree that the system was not 'stable' before. It's like saying the Dinosaurs' way of life wasn't 'stable' before the meteorite hit.
> Any argument that starts with "I don't think it can be done" is a losing argument.

But plenty of interesting opinions start that way -- interesting because someone with expertise thinks so, and/or because the opinion is followed by well-reasoned arguments.

OTOH, "it can't be done" is often based on current assumptions about hard limits. Those assumptions have been broken routinely and consistently for hundreds of years now.

A hydrogen system is basically the two sides of a battery split into separate components. It's fully possible to build device that does both, although as of today this is less efficient.

The galvanic discharge rate is extremely slow and not really suitable as part of a rechargeable battery system. Any practical metal-air will have some way of discharging faster. The problem is that we have basically solved this for hydrogen-air but not for anything else.

I have heard of companies accepting Novavax trial participants as meeting the mandate requirements. Might be worth asking.

I think the real reason that Tesla is successful is because they do it all with a certain swagger that is embodied in Elon and is utterly magnetic to potential buyers. This is the same type of magnetism that Apple had in the years with Steve Jobs. The other guys are suits and they’re jeans and tshirts. The other guys are the establishment, and you know who everyone loves to hate these days? The man. Elon hates the man too. He’s just like you.

>> for Americans, the numerous wars in

Only the dead have seen the end of war. As far as stress on a populace goes, anyone my age (50) or younger has had it pretty easy. My parents' generation had to deal with the possibility of getting drafted to fight in Vietnam. My grandparents' generation had to deal with the much higher possibility that they were going to have to fight in World War II. A 20 year old trying to get some sleep because in the morning he is going to have to storm the beaches of Normandy, that's some stress. What my generation dealt with, stressful sure, but not as much.

>> the financial crisis

There's always going to be another financial crisis. My grandparents grew up during the Great Depression. The 70s had stagflation. I first learned how to freak out about the stock market in the late 90s. There was the 2008 financial crisis, and after that there was the longest economic expansion in US history. Do people just wipe that part out of their memories? Out of all of it, I would pick anything but the Great Depression.

>> anyone not completely ignorant already sees the catastrophic effects of climate change

When I was young, it was overpopulation, then a coming ice age, then ozone and acid rain, then global warming. If you look at what the scientists are actually predicting, it is that we will be much better off at the end of the century but not as much better off as if we had taken more action now.

>> we have a new crisis looming in the form of Russia destabilizing Western governments by propaganda and cyberwars

When I was a young teen, I seriously believed I would die in a nuclear war before I was 18. Now people are freaking out about Russia trolling people on the internet.

>> did I already mention that my and the later generations will face significantly less earnings than the generation of Boomers

Boomers started in what, 1946? In 1950, one third of the households in the US didn't have indoor plumbing. And you're jealous of them.

>> home ownership is ever more inachievable

The home ownership rate is lower than it was in 2000, higher than it was in 1990, around the same as it was in 1980, and higher than it was in 1970. Rental affordability is a little lower than in the past, mortgage affordability much higher (due to low interest rates). People change jobs less than they used to and they move less than they used to. Not really seeing peak stress here.

Sure, Covid was stressful for some people. Not for me, it's been the least stressful year and a half of my life. I don't see the whole fundamentally broken part. If you had told me that there was going to be a global pandemic that pretty much shut down the US economy for a time, I would have thought it would have turned out worse than it did.
Having followed Tesla since almost the beginning and being in and out of TSLA for the last 5 years I can say that the current stock price is a tad high for me. I can't speak for others. Tesla has been targeted by many people for almost its entire existence claiming they're frauds, their tech doesn't work, they won't be able to scale. They've proven most of those people wrong and continue to be an awesome success. But again I think the current stock price is absurd and very hard to justify.

In the 01950s through the 01970s you almost couldn't use a computer at all without getting a custom keyboard for it, so that wasn't an extra obstacle for APL. (You couldn't connect your Smith-Corona or Selectric to a computer, and until 01963, teletypes spoke 5-level "Baudot" code.)

One of Stallman's first jobs was writing a text editor in APL in the 01960s.

VAERS and its like are useful data. The issue is abusing them by implying that all reports are causally linked to the vaccine. They track adverse events following vaccination, not adverse reactions to vaccines.

They exist so that professionals can comb through the data and follow up on patterns they may find.

> It's like saying the Dinosaurs' way of life wasn't 'stable' before the meteorite hit.

It really wasn't, though; IIRC, the current reading of the evidence is that the mass extinction started about 10 million years before the impact delivered the coup de grace.

But I think you were assuming the somewhat popular fiction where things were stable, but then the meteorite wiped them out.
Maybe there are.
You say that, but I actually love my VW ID.4. I test drove Audi's eTron, Tesla 3 & Y, and ultimately bought an ID.4. I liked that it wasn't a Tesla (especially in the Bay Area where it's gotten BMW-asshole status.. and I say that as a previous BMW owner), was more comfortable, bigger interior, had CarPlay, more like a traditional car (no single middle screen), and was quite a bit cheaper. Were there things I liked better about other cars? Sure. But they largely weren't the important factors for me. I also got 3 years of free charging with the Electrify America network, which is no small thing, although I primarily charge at home now.

I wouldn't downplay any competition. It can take a while to catch up, but cars are fickle things that people buy for all kinds of reasons. It's not like pre-Tesla everyone owned only one brand.

He discovered it in relation to Europeans who didn't know of its existence. This is one of the dumbest things I've read today. Your take would mean literally nothing could be discovered.
I guess that's true. The problem is already pretty bad (I've had glasses since I was 10 for this reason, more of a stay at home kid).
I hate to say it, but in a sense, they were meaningless because there was no followup. We haven't had a machine that could even get us back there for 50 years now.
Tesla gets to cheat a bit here, in that they don’t have to charge themselves markup on replacement parts for this own cars. So in theory they should always be able to outprice other providers for Teslas.
(I'm not here to defend whatever you think your arguing against, more interested in your thought processes here.)

It's weird that on one hand you suggest IQ may be a poor, simplistic measure of whether a student is 'gifted', but then on the other hand reduce basketball skill/ability to a simplistic measure such as height.

It also seems you are making a number of claims or hypotheses here that I'm personally interested in knowing if there is any data/evidence to support:

1. Taking a test on multiple days produces high enough variance in results, that the test results are not predictive of any sort of ability or future outcomes

2. The majority of 'children of color' are hungry when taking IQ tests ('of color' in popular usage means non-white)

3. The majority of white children are well-fed when taking IQ tests

Reading between the lines, it seems you are hinting at the idea that all humans who approach the IQ test are equal in ability that the IQ test is testing for. If there are any disparities in results amongst any groups, it must be the result of other factors like being hungry/tired/etc. Is that a fair characterization?

For example, would you say hunger/tiredness is the core reason white children don't all have the same exact scores?
I don't understand what you mean by "domains where C++ is unavoidable" in this context. C++ is a choice, presumably usually a reasonable choice, but a choice, so if they wanted to people could avoid it.

Memory tagging (which is what MTE is about) reminds me of ASLR and password entropy requirements. They're slightly raising the bar which is not something I have much time for. I prefer to put the effort in to solve problems permanently so I can worry about something else instead. Whether that's a practical opportunity here is unclear though, and I think Rust is a big part of finding out.

I've never had issues with VR even with 8hour sessions. I have an HTV Vive original pre-order. There were some very early games with bad locomotion systems that could cause motion sickness but I haven't seen any of those since the very very early days of VR. There are people who have spent 24hr+ in VR without issue. Not sure what you are basing your comments on.

Modern VR standards are even better than what it was with my older PC setup (GTX 970 + vive). Way larger FoV and better PPI screens are making a big difference

Same reason we don’t have stone masons in every town nowadays. Too much time, too much material, not enough customer volume. Can’t operate with today’s (lack of) disposable income and material availability being diluted by an increasing population.

The standard of living has gone up IMHO bc of increased efficiency in the face of dwindling resources. We don’t all live in stone mansions with servants, but a nice apartment built to code as cheaply as possible with electricity, AC and a roomba is by some measures a better life than anyone on the planet had 100 years ago. As a builder, you make more money too.
Every suburb I've lived in in the USA has had everything you've mentioned, except maybe a supermarket, and that's normally only been ~15 minutes by bike at the most. The only ones I've seen that didn't have parks and nearby shops were wealthy neighborhoods, and its because they didn't want poor people to have a reason to walk through the neighborhood. Even a local neighborhood that was off-limits to military personnel because of the high amount of violent crime still had free recreation areas and a locally owned convenience store.

It really, really isn't. Fast, sure, smooth, sometimes, although perception may be messing with things, because wind noise is terrible in these models - but it may also be more noticeable because of less drivetrain noise.

But it absolutely is not a luxurious ride. Go sit in an Audi Q7 or A6. BMW E Series. And feel what really comfortable seats are like. A dashboard that doesn't flex. Doorwells that don't creak when you lean your elbow on them. Nicer finishes, with higher attention to detail. I've driven in an S, a Y, and the interior build in those more resembles my older Altima, Maxima, than coming anywhere near close to my Audis, let alone my Jaguar.
