I think his biggest fault was that his passionate political views directed his research. He wanted to demonstrate that the earliest societies could exist without hierarchy in "popular councils and citizen assemblies... and were stable features of government", as he puts it, and when you examine archeological sites with this in mind, it tends to bias your perspective and causes you to pre-select data points that support that narrative.

The OP author talks about how Graeber was a genius because he was so well versed in so many diverse subjects and the histories of different cultures, but unfortunately his conclusions are not supported by the experts in those specific cultures' histories. His conclusions about Clovis Points are a great example. He draws a huge number of conclusions from a tiny set of data that most experts don't agree with - conclusions that also support his modern politics.

It reminds me of the fanfare around the book "Guns, Germs, and Steel", which was immensely popular because it supported modern progressive politics, and put on numerous best seller lists - but actual historians later showed it not to be supported by the historical record and that its conclusions were drawn from scant and/or misinterpreted evidence.

Hard science is boring and tedious. ...and if you're selecting a hundred data points from different areas to construct a narrative that also happens to agree with your activist politics... then it's fair for the community to be skeptical of your methodology and conclusions. ...and that's also why he was dismissed from his roles as professor at two separate institutions.

Yep. The nice thing about it is you just run it, log in, and it'll quietly keep an incremental copy of everything on any drive you tell it to back up without you having to think about it. You don't have to know what the heck an r-sink is, it Just Works (in the way most Just Works things do). The catch is they aren't going to back up a drive they haven't seen in 30 days, or 6 months if the licensed system is offline for more than that long.

If I really need a long-term cold backup, it costs about half as much yearly (with a half terabyte SSD) to copy the whole thing over to a B2 bucket and get rid of the live backup. That's what I'd do if I were going to Mars.
Commercial trucking and transportation is really complex, with Federal, State and local authorities for various exerting various and sometimes overlapping jurisdictions. It’s a feature of federalism.

The federal government runs a pretty impressive safety program by enforcing rules and targeting enforcement based on statistical analysis and national standards. Shady operators basically cannot operate interstate business for long.

At the state or local level, it varies. States usually have more lax standards. There’s a cat and mouse game around the regs which evolve over time - Chinatown busses being the most notorious example recently.

The regulations shape business. Usually something like a hotel minibus or senior services bus operates with state or local authority. Large limos often operate in a legal grey zone. As a consumer it sucks, as the less regulated carriers are often a nightmare — that hotel minibus may not have operating brakes or a qualified driver.

It will be interesting to see how things evolve.

From anecdotal experience one big reason was always:

‘You can get the same specs in a Windows PC for 1/2 the price !!’

Now with M1 - you can’t get comparable specs/performance in a Windows PC.

Also - in the past few months I’ve seen M1 MacBook Airs at very competitive price points. There are actually cases where you get better performance at a lower price point compared to a Windows PC.

I do think the M1 / ARM pivot has been a game changer. Market share in the last 12 months seems to be on the up.

Yes, that seems to be true (and is that % you've guessed maybe too low? Maybe far too low?). Even with that though, it's extraordinarily fine margins -- w/r/t the businesses that I mentioned, the majority of the income comes from those value-adds, if they weren't there it would generally be difficult for the businesses to survive financially. That's where I was coming from.

To me, Spotify seems to be using podcasts in a similar way. I assume it's because the central business model is unsustainable when combined with investor pressure; they can't just focus on core product because they're burning too much of other people's money in an attempt to outcompete everyone else

That’s not the takeaway. One of the classic rules of selling is “shut up and leave as soon as you have the order.”

It’s not just literal sales call. If your meeting is to get the signed contract, run out the door once it’s in your hand. Don’t push for the P.O. in that moment.

If you have a call with a prospect to set up a meeting, you’ve got that scheduled hang up and prepare for the in person meeting.

Etc etc.
Because with a keyword the meaning is much more explicit, and I consider that to be more valuable. And I think "*" is a bad example because pretty much everyone who programs already knows it's multiplication.

I would agree with this. Andrew Yang made this a talking point for UBI, but it was always hypothetical. Automating big rig hauling is a long way off just based on where we are with the consumer sector. Even in cars that are currently automated, a driver is onboard at all times.
It's been a little while, so perhaps things have changed, but I was told that quite a bit of the data exists only on the card itself.

From your link it seems i was not entirely misinformed:
"Contrary to popular belief, there is no central administration of resident registration in Germany. The exception is the registration of resident aliens (see Central Register of Foreign Nationals). Registration is organized by 5283 local offices throughout Germany.[18] "

I'm unable to find the part about cards. will edit or reply more if i do find it.

It's a political book. Graeber, an self-described anarchist, looks through the archeological record for evidence that non-hierarchical societies existed successfully.

Everyone in that political area calls him a "genius" because he offers them a rich trove of new "evidence" to support their modern politics.

It's an inconvenient truth that the experts in these individual fields don't agree with his conclusions.
After reading that, I have a new appreciation for the page’s opening sentence: “Jaffa Cakes are biscuit-sized cakes …”
Firstly, consecutive years are in fact shown as well in the data linked: 56% of Americans spent 2 consecutive years in the top 20%, and 35% spent 2 consecutive years in the top 10%.

Secondly, these numbers are based on tax filings, and even though the process of the sale of grandpa’s dairy farm may straddle 2 years, the income from the sale isn’t realized across 2 years; it will always register as a single fiscal year, I.e. the year in which the transaction closed. The actual income is not realized until then.

Further, it’s not at all obvious that only considering consecutive years is necessary to invalidate the original GGP claim. The fact that 40% spent 2 not-necessarily-consecutive years in the top 10% (and 62% for the same in the top 20%) especially debunks the notion that one-time inheritance sales make up the variance. Nobody is selling grandpas dairy farm across 2 disjoint years. It also shows us that people do in fact move in and out of these quintiles (or deciles) as one would expect in a dynamic economy, and that those groups aren’t just a static cabal of people twirling their mustaches.

The crux of the argument stands: the majority of Americans experience affluence by spending at least 2 years in the top 10-20%. And at the very least it totally invalidates the absurd claim made (quite confidently, at that) in the GGP comment:

> Most American never get anywhere close to the top 10% - not even remotely - regardless of age. The idea that everyone is just waiting around for their career to advance enough to put them in the upper-middle class is ludicrous on its face.

It’s just outright misinformation.
Besides using “KEYS” command, there are also commands that take a long time to run that should be avoided like storing 10s of millions of items in a set and then deleting the whole set itself with a single delete command.
Yes! It takes some practice but as a kid i managed to launch the lids off water and soda bottles that had previously been opened (more gas volume) and carried in a bag.

You need to edge the cap close to the point before the gas can escape, then give it a flick so it can twist open the last bit by inertia. Apply some pressure to the plastic bottle while doing so.

When it works the cap would fly off with a loud bang and the rapid change in pressure causes condensation inside the bottle, allowing you to push out clouds of vapor.

I think they changed the design of the bottle at some point and this would no longer work.
That kind of exemplifies a very British problem that we have with very vague and increasingly slow bureaucracy. There’s often no clear cut answer to a question. I think it’s one of the reasons why we get the least amount of productive work done per hour in Western Europe. In our national mythology we think of ourselves as a low bureaucracy country compared to say France, but in actual fact in those countries you will quickly be told no if something is not permitted whereas here there’s a lot of equivocating until, after 6 months of uncertainty you reach a seemingly random semi compromise result.
He compared engineers he's worked with to engineers he hasn't worked with (Viaweb) and said they were better. How did he know they were better? Is he just better at assessing engineering talent than the rest of us?

You're assuming he knew they were better. Based on all of us (esp. here) not trusting technical interviews to determine engineer quality, I suspect he did not know they were better and was simply trying an off-the-cuff comparison to get Yahoo to acquire both of the companies.

What he really gave was an opinion. It wasn't truth.
It's a direct translation from "African-American", which is similar to Italian-American or Irish-American.

I think the latter two can also be applied to 2nd, 3rd, etc. generations, so there's no assumption about native citizen or not.

Slurs like Goombah, Kraut, Mick are also applied to later generations (according to Hollywood movies).
Some people indeed have that image. But quite a lot of other people consider Newton to be the most impactful scientist and mathematician ever. I count myself in that camp. Gauss was obviously a more brilliant mathematician than Newton, and maybe even Terry Tao, or Grothendieck, or a few others, but none of them change the the world the way Newton did. There is simply math after Newton, and math before, and they are like spacecraft vs stone tools.

>>> work is dangerous, comes with low pay and and that the hours are unbearable.

All of which is true for the majority of drivers. If the industry wants to attract people they need to get off the "per mile driven" pay scheme where truckers can spend hours, or even days unpaid waiting at terminals, docks, etc...

Trucking today is a terrible job, with low pay if calculated on a per hour worked basis. Combined with most of the regulations being placed on the driver, not the company, with most of liability for violating the regulations born by driver not the company. There is a continual battle between doing what the company says, and doing what the law says. Drivers are stuck in the middle because it is perfectly legal for a company to have a driver break the law or drive an unsafe rig, the only person that has to pay the fine is the driver.

I built an app to make professional connections as human beings rather CVs
Hello Community !

It's been a while since I posted something, I'll keep it short, I built an app to make professional connections with a short-form video profile that showcases our hobbies like movies we watch and podcasts we listen to.

After all, aren't all the best connections we make because of things we have in common outside of work ?

Driving big rigs is dangerous for all involved. I think maturity matters but that can be tested for at any age. Driving underload without skill and practice can be very dangerous and loads are variable weight. Pay truckers double or triple pay since our roads in be states are deteriorating.

Same with be road crews, give them a bump too.
Why are these sentiments always downvoted? Do people honestly think that this generation of software folks are significantly better than the last 3-4? Given programmers ego, I assume “damn straight”. But then, that’s what the previous bunch said also.

Good, safe, stable coding is HARD which it’s not often done cuz hard = expensive. And weregild costs lots and lots of money.
Maybe I just don't get the social or cultural context, but this always confuses me. There's plenty of occasions where referring to one's skin color is relevant.

I'm light-skinned enough to be close to ginger, for instance, and this subject has both practical, conversational and occasionally humoristic value when the subject of being outside in the sun comes up. If I'm planning any sort of trip with someone who even has southern European ancestry, not to mention Middle-Eastern or African, it's hardly an unnatural subject to show up in passing.

From that context, it seems incredibly silly that the whole subject just be taboo and remain unmentioned.

Absolutely. While I didn't address that point in my reply, yes, taxing beverages based on the CO2 content is ridiculous.
It's amusing to see this, as in the UK people think shortage of truck drivers is purely a Brexit phenomenon.

That may be a factor, but there are others in place as well such as the tax regime changing for self-employed drivers (IR35) etc.

It's very important to remember that Apple is always in the bleeding edge of process nodes. In this case, TSMC's 5nm, which is the most advanced process in shipping products right now. AMD is still in 7nm but will be moving later, and Intel is in its own 10nm, or I guess "Intel 7" now.
This is a good point because I remember using mapquest before google maps existed. I did want real time map movement but how that mechanism was to be implemented is the key point. The inertial grab and drag seems obvious today but before that, I envisioned it working like an RTS game such as warcraft2. You'd move the mouse cursor to the edge of the map box/screen and the map would then scroll.

Gnome does NOT work correctly in HiDPI.

I’ve got 3 systems with 1.5x scale, and Qt handles them perfectly fine (even with per-monitor separate scaling).

While Gnome absolutely does not. Either I get absolutely unreadable tiny 1x, or I get absolutely unusable 2x with no space for anything.

(That said, Qt on Windows handles per-screen scale factors very weirdly, especially with applications using pixel values)
I am completely not surprised by this move, HBM2 solves a major issue for quite a few applications that live and die on high speed memory and assuming sapphire rapids has enough ports to make use of it optimally will make these an absolute beast. I guess I'm only surprised AMD didn't do this first as they have more experience with HBM2 on their GPUs. Then again they might have and never made it a public SKU.
It is not the simple system which everyone misses ... because that has no roadmap to a STEM usage ... it is the lack of generic purpose (brickable :) ) remote control to work without smart phone which is the key problem.

For example, a simple remote is super easy to do. A complex behavior config (like steering boxes) or calibration modules could be small plugins into a remote so you keep it with your instruction/set. They could be also remotely programmed and injected there.

SO many ideas how to do this correctly with the original LEGO mindset.
