The deal is that the "influencer" is an actor not an influencer. They are also an employee so you have a ton of control over the messaging. TV has been doing "paid actors" for a long time and hopefully this garbage will require similar disclaimers online too.

Given the extent of the Roman Empire, I think Latin achieved some pretty significant cultural status. Afaik, Catholic mass stopped being in latin in the 1960's. That's ~3rd century to 20th century. So in use roughly 3x as long as English? (Not a specialist.)
I'm honestly really annoyed that streaming doesn't have a better cover art story.

Did anybody else find the changing tab title annoying?
Totally agree, this is a huge reason I use Yarn. Reproducibility.

The catch is, particularly with yarn 3, if you want the soundness and capability to vendor zip files (completely removing the concept of node_modules) you need to use PnP and deal with some packages that don’t define their dependencies very well.

There’s still packages that will try to import/require stuff they dont declare, which is unsound. So when you get the warning, you need to declare it yourself in the root yarn config.

It’s a bit annoying, but the payoff is soundness.

You can clone to a new machine (be it a for a dev, or ci/cd) and be good to go without touching the network.

> Either the price of shipping from US to China has to fall so much that it becomes profitable to ship all these containers back completely empty, or the government has to subsidize the shipping cost

What's happening is that everybody is playing chicken waiting for somebody else to blink and foot the bill for the fact that everything is out of whack. Why should the government break this logjam instead of the companies that sucked up all the profits over decades from this arrangement?

Since nobody is going to risk spending money, breaking the logjam, and then having their competitor who isn't spending the money benefit, they would rather all hit the wall simultaneously. Fine. But don't come whining to the electorate and elected representatives to fix problems that corporations, themselves created when it bites them in the shorts.

Spend some of those record profits, assholes, and the problems will get fixed.

I think there has been more a winding-down of manufacturing jobs, not an abrupt cutoff.
This was already one Rx from the Twitter thread.

Also not all “capitalists” have aligned incentives. Everybody wants shipping to be efficient except those who profit from this inefficiency.

Specifically ship companies are making huge profits by racing to the big East Asian ports right now. So much profit that they don’t want their ships to wait in US ports for empty containers to reload. This asymmetry makes it even more profitable to rush back to those East Asian ports. Snowball of profits for them at the expense of everyone else.

This is a Tragedy of the Commons situation. It is a great purpose for government intervention.

Because the container isn't owned by the trucking company. If you have a contract to take the container to a particular place only, you risk breach doing otherwise; plus think about it, if you want the trucking company to rent or purchase more space to store the containers, that's a major cost increase you're putting on them and they'd have to modify a ton of contracts to get paid there

What's the point? They're not subject to any potential carbon tax (extraction is not emission), and it's an incredibly negative ROI to invest in reducing your carbon footprint otherwise. And it's not like they have any more reputation to lose in the eco-minded investor community, or eco-minded society at large.

They're in an industry which will wane over the next 3 decades and are better suited using their profits today to build a more sustainable business model for tomorrow (such as BP is doing with their massive investments in wind and solar, or Exxon with their huge R&D spend in biofuels) rather than trying to make oil extraction less carbon intense.
I feel like understanding the psychological concept of flow and using it to your advantage really helps. The key really is to choosing projects/goals that will keep you in the "feel good" states. If a projects seems too overwhelming, keep breaking it into smaller more manageable chunks/tasks/goals and just focus on those for the time being.

That said, I'd also suggest perhaps looking at other factors that might be giving you headwinds. Almost anything that can affect your dopamine levels (drugs/food/sex), can subtly influence your motivation. For me personally, I feel quitting all sources caffeine/nicotine has improved my ability to remain focused on tasks.
> These "fake shutters" are just window trim, and there's nothing wrong with that.

His problem is not that they're window trim, it is that they don't seem to even be trying to make them aesthetically accurate to the real ones.

> Reason #1 They Don’t Fit […] If your window is 6 feet wide and your shutter is only a foot wide, who do you think you are fooling? You may not think it’s a big deal, but proportions matter. Putting undersized fake shutters on your house is like driving a big rig with 18 donut spare tires.

Would it be that hard to have the shutters be the same area as the window for good proportionality?

It's like having (fake) columns and not making the effort to making sure the measurements are right:

I think there is a subtlety in the report there - they seem to use “extremes” to refer to something like the 75th %ile bounds, as in “the edges of the normal range”. Whereas “extreme weather events” is a similar phrase for a different thing, they are more like the 99th %ile outliers. (Made up numbers for discussion, not claiming the actual%, just trying to illustrate a distinction).

Note in your quote how they refer to both:

> The frequency and intensity of hot extremes (warm days and nights) and the intensity and duration of heatwaves

And for cold they say:

> while the frequency and intensity of cold extremes have decreased

But no mention of extreme weather events like storms. This might sound pedantic but I think it’s two different meanings of “extreme”, they discuss the differences a bit in https://www.ipcc.ch/srocc/chapter/chapter-6/.

Anyway, low epistemic confidence on this bit, just my read is a bit less certain on that last point than yours.
That's backwards. The issue is the chassis/trailer, right? Use the trucks to take the containers to the AFB, and use the trains to take them from there to Dallas. A truck (and chassis/trailer) can make two or three trips a day from LA/LB to the AFB. Or, it can take two or three days to take one container to Dallas.
The first scene of the 1984 movie does not exist in the books, even though they were depicted correctly. In fact, they didn't appear directly in the original Dune book at all, and they were only described in later books of the series (Both the 2021 and 1984 movies are adaptations of the first book, the 2021 one adapting the first 75% ish).
I had no idea fake shutters could be so controversial until I read this thread. My house has some. They've always been there and aren't very prominent. Sometimes I notice them and they seemed.. off. But I couldn't place why till now.
It is not narrow, that I agree
That analogy fails badly. It could be said of any fiat currency. Take some Japanese Yen to different country where it is not a readily accepted legal tender and give it in a supermarket. I’m sure the response would be the same as what you quoted.

The value and the next sucker part also fails for the same reason. You can exchange or even use to pay, say, USD in many countries in shops and street side currency converters of dubious legal standing. They would trade it with the “next sucker” because they’re part of a network that values USD.

Empty containers are worth a lot in East Asia right now, just not in US ports or distributor points. It’s a misallocation, not a global oversupply problem
Just create one!
> That's not a bad approach, but the problem is a lot of supply chain planning is top-down and dictates "we only want to keep $x tied up in inventory" and as you can imagine that number is driven by management as low as possible.

This actually isn't true to the extent you seem to think it is, though.

> Basically my view is that it's this over reactiveness and obsession with free cash flow has swung so far so as to create a too-painful jam.

But that's not the only cause of the supply chain situation. Transportation is also a big part of the issue. Even if you had 10 years' worth of widgets in a warehouse in China, if you can't get them on a ship, or the shipping costs are too high, you get supply shortages where the customers need those widgets.
How is this the top comment here! I'd expect better out of HN users. Even if you don't like bitcoin it's ridiculous to attack it with a joke that doesn't actually map to reality. Sure, it's a pretty good joke, but it's a terrible argument against bitcoin.
A miniscule portion of the right wing supports storming the Capitol (which seems to be the clutch), and far more people on the left wing speak out against cancel culture (myself included).

Twitter immediately pulled Trump the moment he left office. It had no spine to do it earlier, which if the leadership had any consistency in their morals would have done a lot earlier.

Anyways, this is just my hunch and trying to observe some trends. It could be completely wrong.
> What is so special about manufacturing?

That's a good question. The answer is that it drives productivity growth. Most of the economy does not increase in productivity at all. Your haircutter or waiter is not more productive than a haircutter or waiter in the 1800s. But they make much more per hour because of cost-disease as they attach themselves to industries where one hour of labor can produce exponentially more output. So you have 20% of the economy driving basically all of the economic growth and productivity gains, and the wage growth of everyone else is dependent on this 20% doing really well. Therefore some nations, like China, are willing to fight for those manufacturing industries, even as other nations, like the US, think they can maintain advanced status if their workforce consists of marketing executives and baristas. They think IP protections will keep those marketing executives earning huge bonuses and then that will support spending more on each espresso. Long term, this is not a viable plan, even if it works well in the short term.

> 14 million farm workers in 1910. 3 million today. Tragedy?

No, that's productivity gains. But we are still farming and producing that food. The equivalent would be if the US got out of the farming business and turned to designing genetically engineered seeds. Let all those other nations grow food, we will do the high value stuff and outsource the actual growing-of-things. Well, OK, until other nations decide to stop paying licensing fees or switch to their own designs. Then not being able to grow things would really hurt us. Same for not being able to make things and turning to just designing stuff.

When a nation loses their increasing returns to scale industries is when economic growth stops.
Well, that's one way of looking at it, the one I've been thinking of is that the distribution of competence is similar in all languages, but with niche ones it becomes easier to filter because good applicants do not disappear under deluge of bad ones.

There's also survivorship bias in sticking long enough with programming to actually look for jobs in niche languages or accept that you will be taught on the job, something that I've seen only with either experienced or more open-minded/educated people
That sounds to me like the sort of things users will say they want. But when they imagine an OS, they just sort of take stability for granted. Like, if I say, 'picture your favorite food, now what can you to do make it better?' you didn't start by picturing it burnt. You pictured it the way you liked it.

They're saying "what do you want out of an OS?" then putting that crap on a burnt OS. People assumed the OS wasn't burnt.

I think there's profit in delivering what people actually want, regardless of what they say they want.

>1) no benefit in the meantime for the holder (such as a dividend

There is no fundamental difference between an asset paying dividends or simply appreciating in value. At the end of the day all an investor cares about is ROI. Holding BTC's lack of dividends against it while it's gained 371% in the past year strikes me as odd.
I wouldn't say a minimal use of tech, more that they use very mature tech. Mature tech 'just works' with minimal intrusion or maintenance. I think of it like home heating systems. Once we all had fires or stoves as central objects in houses. Now we have a switch on a wall connected to a system that can go years without maintenance. Sure, there is an entire industry behind the scenes and some debate the benefits of one tech over another, but the average user only ever sees the switch. So the ornithopter's engines have been replaced by electromechanical muscles because they probably go decades without need of attention.

Whether they're fictional, "real", or "fake" is a meaningless distinction in this age, Baudrillard explained this to us a few decades ago. All the virtual influencer stuff is happening at a solely symbolic level, there's no 'real' underneath. You can have a meme and satire of a thing that never really existed, or maybe it did, or maybe the fake thing existed before the real thing, and so on. It's been the condition of modern communiciation for a while and in that sense it now happening openly and people creating jobs around virtual influencers really just makes sense.
Fiat currencies also take a lot of resources to create — human and computing resources (to define and create the money out of some calculations, be it a central bank for policy reasons or a private bank for fractional reserve banking reasons), physical elements and molecules for currency bills, infrastructure to handle electronic payments, settlements, reversals, etc. It’s all so widely distributed that people don’t think of the costs.

I have seen contrary arguments on the enormous amount of energy used to create Bitcoin. Is there a good comparison showing the real (material) costs of fiat currency vs. Bitcoin?

Actually there are a lot of restrictions and requirements when it comes to speech on private property. For example telecommunication services are treated as common carriers and must allow speech to transit even if they disagree with it. It is clear that big tech platforms behave more like utilities and should be regulated like common carriers. In this case with an open source project restricting use via its license, maybe that’s not applicable. But I would argue that F-droid, as a platform with network effects, should be subject to the same requirement to not censor.
It seems like they would have to do a lot of things just right to succeed in that very specific scenario. In other words, highly unlikely that it will work.

Question I would ask is, while I agree (aesthetically) with what I think his position is - when he sets up logical vs. ontological truth as competing models of reality, is he not setting ontological truth as "real reality," and then logical truth as "reality prime," as in, he has set up a figure/ground relationship that favours ontological truth, but appears to be arguing as though he is weighing them as complementary?

Maybe he's still setting it up after the halfway point? I don't disagree with him about the necessary conditions for transcendental truth, but the form of his argument seems to leave that thread to be tugged on.
