I wouldn’t really call it savvy. Most people can think of these tactics but many people wouldn’t actually do it. The difference is he doesn’t care about unfairly screwing other people over for his own personal gain. I bet you he rationalizes it like it’s just competition. A multibillion dollar company that can hire 10,000 with a snap of a finger vs a million dollar startup. Yup, just competition.

Paying for a VRChat+ subscription comes with an increased trust level, so possibly that.
I think this misses a lot. I suppose it's because it has to support the pro-billionaire-founder conclusion.

First: monetary policy. This was half the shock, not just the pandemic - it was on a scale similar to World War II. In hindsight, you can say that the pandemic was a signal to increase production, but that's a bit ridiculous. If vaccines took longer, if governments didn't spend more than WW2, we would be in a much different situation. Not to mention all the retail bankruptcies that happened anyway.

Second: structural changes in the labor market. Huge numbers of Baby Boomer retirements [1], for example, which disproportionately affect the sorts of manufacturing and transport jobs that are relevant here.

Third: operational effects. Lots of spare capacity can mean operating at normal rates after accounting for things like social distancing, quarantines, and government forced shutdowns. Examples include mass factory closures in Vietnam the last few months, huge outbreaks at meatpacking plants, forced quarantine of air crew, and Amazon employees waiting taking 20-60 minutes to pass screening before work.

There isn't one until IPv6-only ISPs (or plans) pop up offering cheaper connectivity because you don't need an expensive v4 address. NAT sucks and everyone's job would be easier if they didn't have to deal with it, but the CEO likely doesn't care about that and probably just sees the "add IPv6 support" scope and cost estimate and NOPEs out.

I love IPv6 btw. I just don't think you'll see anything meaningful happen until FAANG drop IPv4 support. Imagine that. People would convert pretty quick if Google couldn't crawl your site or you couldn't buy an iPhone without IPv6...
Oh? Maybe give me a brief rundown of his business savvy? I'm especially interested in evidence that can't be attributed to the people he hired or the vast, vast wealth at his command. Not to mention a large PR department working hard to make him look like one of the savviest businesspeople in history.
Which is exactly the argument big studios used to argue for DRM. NFT is (quite literally) DRM, rebranded and ostensibly accessible to the masses, but with all the caveats amplified accordingly and with a huge energy cost attached.
What Big Oil knew about climate change, in its own words
The post I was replying to didn’t mention Facebook once. Just social networks, which Reddit and the like would fall under. So you’re drawing a line that doesn’t exist in the original context.

> the majority of Facebook users are just interacting with their small social circle

That describes me and my Facebook experience is comparatively pleasant. But I don’t know how typical it actually is, most of the angst on there seems to come from people sharing meme page posts, being members of groups that spread misinformation… certainly that describes how a number of my relatives experience Facebook. I don’t think the social circle is that small for many users.

> No-fault means what?
There's no reason to think that we are 'just getting started'.

We know what the system looked like before, and post-pandemic, there's no reason to believe it wouldn't return to that state. Aside from some ongoing pandemic measures, by and large, we should see things mostly settle into the system that already works.

It's just going to take some time to clear. In the meantime, most things are working well enough.

Much of the inflation we are seeing is a function of 12 years of mass money printing and pandemic response, if it were not for that, the pricing issue wouldn't be so acute.

If there is a 'new normal' it will due to monetary issues - the adjustments in supply chains I think will be incremental, with a few strategic changes i.e. TSMC in Austin etc..
> Thanks, I didn’t dig deep enough to find the boy buried at the bottom. That definitely clears things up.

...there's a boy buried at the bottom? i hope that's a typo!
I think his statement is that founder (and family) led businesses are the only businesses capable of building the shock absorbers necessary to weather hundred-year storms; not that they always will. By comparison, committee-appointed CEOs rarely, if ever, will, because they cannot.
Given that I am also a conservative Catholic, there are plenty of things to wrestle with here.

One is that we're engaged in our own internal culture-war around liturgy, the dwindling priesthood, and what to do about social issues that pit Western society's priorities against long-standing Church doctrine. When the most prominent Catholics in the news aren't acting Catholic, that drives us crazy.

But I don't think pluralism is really the problem; Catholics, at least in America in my lifetime, never had any kind of puritanical control. The problem is that there's a new amorphous religion of the state that insists it doesn't exist.
I for one am excited for the Metaverse and all the Second Life jokes we will make about it.
I wonder how it is an improvement on GShard and Switch Transformer?
Facebook's earnings stated they're going to be burning a large fraction of their net income on it going forward, so it seems like it's hardly a hobby.
...that would be why I said that and an Apple TV.
Excellent point, and I totally agree. Thanks for the correction.
> Saying 'this is what I will do when an int can't hold the assigned value' is defining the behavior, ergo it is no longer undefined!

Defining the behaviour of a particular compiler under specific circumstances does not equate to defining the behaviour of the C language.
The comparison at the bottom of cost/price ratio of different manufacturers at the bottom of https://vdata.nikkei.com/en/newsgraphics/iphone-teardown/ was interesting. You can see how the relatively new entrant Huwawei is willing to eat their profit margin for market share vs the legacies (Apple, Sony, Samsung): ~37-39% vs 51% Cost-to-retail-price ratio.
Or OP is simply the kind of person who would end up dead 200k years ago. But a more civilized world allows them to survive and potentially thrive.

Technology (especially medical) and civilization are forces that act against evolution; to the extent that they probably seek to stop human evolution.
This isn't a statement about morals. I agree that no one cares about those.

It's a statement that no one thinks "oh cool facebook" about literally anything they say or do. Their greatest successes in terms of social capital over the last decade have involved buying other companies.

Maybe I'm in a bubble, but it seems while everyone uses Facebook to some extent... no one likes it.
Yeah. This type of thing would obviously be up for debate and any real law would be complicated (I did say it is an extreme opinion).

I would expect the starting point to be something along the lines of: Any ownership of a property must be associated back to an individual. Even that of a "company owned" property.

Maybe companies would pay some kind of "property retainer" bonus to people with draconian contract terms that skirt the law and keep the property under the companies control despite some individual employee owning it on paper.

Or maybe, companies would just rent whatever property they need.
Good introductory post. For those relatively new to Soft Architecture I always recommend Software Architecture in Practice, great to read and filled with good tactics focused on Quality Attributes.
Your study says that some of 3715 mensa members were depressed. Not that "many psychiatrists, by virtue of their education, are part of a class of people who are themselves more prone to depression and anxiety." So yeah, blind speculation.

> When it comes to 'dysthymia'. The only reason we find it to be a disease is that we expect people to be happy all the time.

Completely wrong, again. You can experience situational depression without having dysthymia. You just don't know what these words mean.
And there's a limit on how much you can buy at a time, you can only get 15 24-hour pills every 15 days, which means you need a regular pharmacy trip
What kind of harm does this actually do to Codecademy? I would argue none. There is no downside to calling them out.
That is a fair argument. Not all organizations have the bandwidth to measure and manage stability of builds. Some companies build internal tools / dev productivity team for this purpose. There are always right intentions to comment out the flaky test with the mindset of coming back to it, but it is also a very low priority item in most cases when you have to ship new features.

Fixing flaky tests can very commonly take longer than writing new tests.

some areas of coast line are naturally better for ports than others. You need the land to have deep water as close to the coast as you can. I don't know the geography of CA well enough to comment on Pismo Beach, but I wouldn't be surprised if it would be more expensive to open a port there than to buy land in LA.
It's not just a successful (sub-)orbital test. SpaceX needs to demonstrate re-use. That is essential.

The Angry Astronaut had a video about this where he argues that SpaceX should continue testing Starship to demonstrate reusability. But they can't now that they are committed to not using landing legs: first they need to test the chopsticks with a hopper and a load simulator, then they need to test the chopsticks with a booster and a Starship, and only then can they attempt a landing and re-use.
This company should have been broken up long ago.
Given the 'hundred year crisis', I think we have fared relatively well from a purely economic point of view...

Covid was essentially "Sars II". If Sars1 had had the qualities needed to be a world wide epidemic, we'd be looking 10-100x the casualties. Sars1 happened a decade ago. Calling this a "hundred year crisis" seems wholly disingenuous. This event was forecast by quite a few people, the world was terribly unprepared and there's every reason to think the same factors that created this virus will create others much sooner than a hundred years from now.
quite interesting, here's a tangential article about the vagus nerve, https://www.apa.org/monitor/apr04/vagus

"Psychobiologists show how the vagal pathway links hormones outside the brain to neurotransmitters inside the brain to lock in memory of emotional or stressful events."

Sandisk, Lexar, Prograde. Depends on the application.

My raspberry pi doesn't do many disk operations so the speed isn't critical and 90 MB/s is plenty. My digital camera, on the other hand, has dual SD card slots, and can record uncompressed(!) 10 bit 4k video @ 60fps but needs 2 x 400 MB/s continuous write, which is... a pretty specific need. And cost accordingly.
No wonder companies that aim to optimize/disrupt shipping are hiring so many ML engineers!

Maybe if the containers themselves were autonomous and mobile, and could optimize their own value… there’s a Black Mirror episode somewhere in that.
Well, you got one out of two: https://meta.org says

Meta, a Chan Zuckerberg Initiative project, is a biomedical research discovery tool that analyzes & connects millions of scientific outputs to give you a comprehensive view into science.

and

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) is an organization established and owned by Meta, Inc founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan with an investment of 99 percent of the couple's wealth from their Facebook shares over their lifetime.
Now they can say that hackers only made off with "Meta data".

Fax Machine conundrum I suppose, only useful once everyone else is on it.

I don’t see it taking off tho, if Facebook.com can’t get a 2D text interface to load faster than multiple seconds what hope is there for an immersive world working on anything but the best fiber connections?
All 3 are in abundance in Ethiopia. So why are depressive disorders so prevalent there? Folksy phrases aren't a great guide to mental health.
I just bought an RO system of Amazon and it is great. There is a relatively newer design that doesn't require the external pressurization tank and uses a single easily-replaceable filter.

The faucet even has a realtime TDS measurement (inlet water is over 400 and the filter brings it down to about 17-18). I put a higher flow filter (doesn't lower the TDS) in front of the RO system so that my regular faucet water is filtered and it extends the life of the RO filter. Takes like 30 minutes to get everything installed. Totally worth it!
I can't tell you how many times i've had political conversations in VR while playing a game. It's not super common, but it happens.

I kind of fear a day when i'm just having a casual conversation with someone, and suddenly their voice becomes garbled becauese an AI detected they were telling me some "misinformation".
I appreciate the concern but, honestly, it's exhausting to keep fielding 'have you tried...', 'have you looked into...', 'have you explored...' questions.

I get that it comes from a good place, but I'm sharing my experience, not asking for advice.

The best help you and others can offer is to just listen, instead of offering another solution.

There are two replies to me in the 'have you tried' vein. I'm not aiming it at you specifically, just trying to stop a pattern.
You shouldn't take any form of medication unless it's necessary to save your life. Period. Doctors are still mostly quacks, except in some exceptional circumstances

In my area, the St. Vincent de Paul Society provides help with food, housing, and other needs in the community regardless of the recipient's religious inclination.

Catholics are encouraged to donate to them and volunteer their time, and there's usually a once-a-month supplemental collection for them at Mass.
I want to do this, but Comcast's prefix isn't stable, I get a different one every time my lease renews, which means it is impossible to have a static IP for all my network devices, since neither pfSense nor OPNsense support NPTv6 to a dynamic prefix.
IPv6 will never be universally adopted because they chose to make baroque auto configuration features, and the propeller heads, who are forcing this on everyone, gaslight us by telling us we shouldn't rely on having a private address space as a way of having control over your own network.
Do you disagree it was the same move?

Maybe they had incredible foresight.
I never Meta bigger jerk than Mark Zuckerberg.

I mean obviously whatever name they came up with will get ridiculed, but they are just begging for it. The late night comedians are going to have a field day tonight.
> One of them got a "guru" who he paid several thousands of dollars a day to. The "guru" fed him Ayahuasca and people who visited the rich guy at his house said he had removed all furniture from his house, was wearing robes and said he could control the winds with his thoughts.

I think we have this acquaintance in common.
What interaction does the mayor (or the administration) of a city normally have with the ports? I mean, beyond keeping an eye on the wear to road surfaces of port traffic.
That would still be one success. And I'm pretty sure other people had something to do with that. So I'd like a little more evidence, thanks.
It's always more complicated. It's also always that simple.

Consumer preferences changed slightly *because* of lockdowns in addition to supply changing drastically *because* of lockdowns.

In our just-in-time supply chain system, interruptions of the magnitude we experienced aren't accounted for.
Yep. I use them in headless robotics applications and they always seem fast. And then I have an 8GB unit as a media server at home and it feels sloooowwwww. Loading a video in chrome takes forever but they’re really good at running my Python robotics stack in docker!
Have you seen what a "rich error struct union" looks like in zig? It's very easy and very legible code. I'd further bet that there are no cases when you're doing this that you want an error return trace. And the downstream handling code is very easy.

If there is a problem with how it's done in zig, it's a community one: maybe the pattern needs a megaphone beside it, like examples in the main docs or tuts in the various zig tut sites that have cropped up

Very cool answer, thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to post this. I'll take a look at your experiences and consider taking action.
In the terms "economic rent" and "rent seeking", the concept of rent is not specific to assets. Rent paid to landowners was the original inspiration for the terminology, but in actual usage it refers to any economic behavior that extracts value without creating new value.

• https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rent-seeking

Notably, this usage does not include "providing liquidity", so most of what hedge funds and private equity do for a living is rent seeking, by definition.

So the parent commenter's usage appears to be correct... If it's any consolation, I was under the same mistaken impression as you for a long time.
Wasn't implying that this particular program should be scrapped (though it was clearly implemented in crisis mode, with predictable lack of protection), only arguing against the OP's claim that the amount of abuse of social programs is small.
Isn't SpaceX privately held?
bad use of the term on my side then
Reduced inhibition does not support the thesis of increased agression, unless you define aggression to refer to "aggression shown".

But I'd overall turn the 'cultural' aspect a little further even. I think I have observed a couple of times people to consume alcohol in order to be able to transgress cultural norms because the cultural norms themselves are 'parametrised' for the sober-drunk states.

I.e. get into a fight sober? Could be unacceptable even to someone who wants to get into a fight. After 4 beers? May be perfectly fine for your peer group. Same goes to other things, like dancing, approaching strangers, etc.

What I really found interesting for example is, in my abroad term in Canada. The sober Canadian society was overall friendly and polite, definitely friendlier than in my German home. People held up doors for me (a 20 something man, felt really weird and unexpected), you got compliments for what you wore (never happened to me in Germany), etc. pp. But this radically changed in the 'drunken space' where people were a lot more aggressive and fights were much more the norm.
Are you really, actually sorry, or are you just saying that to soften your message? Isn't that manipulation?
I’m not sure this is the case. The problem is that RoE is a metric that can be gamed for short term gains while incurring long term risks. This is more likely to be an issue with short term career-oriented leadership. Founders are more likely to have a concern for the long-term success of the business. Simply put, founders are not the people sacrificing their own companies’ long term success in exchange for enhancing their personal careers.

A lot of the JIT fashion came from Toyota, and yet Toyota doesn’t seem to suffer from these issues as much as others. I don’t think it’s any coincidence that most of the senior executives of Toyota have all been at Toyota for longer than many of us have been alive, and that the company president is the grandson of the company founder.
Large businesses had a great pandemic, so it doesn't kick off to a real strong start.
This is honestly so on the nose that it has to be the origin.
If it was intentional shouldn't it have some kind of fade animation?
Am I the only person who immediately thought "metadata".. As in all the data they collect and weaponize against you?
This seems to be a thing for pretty much every food/nutritional category. I've decided for myself to just "ignore" the science since the definition of "healthy" seems to change so often. Instead I try to use common sense for picking my meals.
What network equipment do you use inside your home? Ubiquity has driven me nuts with the poor IPv6 support. I expect the US consumer home network gear is in just as bad of shape. Trying to upgrade my Comcast modem to IPv6 gave me a device that hard crashed every 6 days to 1 month, that had to be replaced 6 times until they finally would give me the next model up to fix the problem properly.

Edit: This is for a business modem owned by Comcast, needed because of a static IP config.

> Also, a nitpick: the author refers to the condensation product of benzaldehyde and nitroethane, which is phenyl-2-nitropropene, abbreviated P2NP, incorrectly. He calls it "nitrostyrene (NTS)", which is the one-carbon-shorter homolog.

Can you give a bit more detail about what's wrong here, and how it might be fixed? Are all mentions to nitrostyrene/NTS incorrect? This is used repeatedly in the cited papers, so I'm confused if they are also wrong, or the post has mangled usage, or what.
Spare some disdain for the people who choose to work for him.

Thanks! I understand it now.
I think the main problem is depending in your jurisdiction, if all your employees are contractors, and they are long time, which is actually masquerading-as-contractors, you can get in trouble, in Germany for example I think it's two years max.

Since this is a difficult subject, YMMV
