I didn't see it that way at all but I've seen several people compare it to that and I still fail to see the comparison. The video has no relevance to capitalism at all. It's just a more violent version of very common asian tv variety shows where a bunch of contestants try to climb over obstacles or do random activities to reach the goal. Instead of getting shot though you fall into a pool of goo or water or something though instead and everyone gets a laugh watching the antics of the participants. Combine that additional violence with some heartfelt back story for the characters and you have squid game. It's really quite a simple story.

Keep in mind this is a Korean drama, not a western drama. "Late stage capitalism" is an English language/western world concept, not a universal one. (Even the term "late stage capitalism" implies that capitalism is somehow going to end, but commentators never clearly explain what system they think is better or what should replace it. Capitalism IMO is with us for the rest of humanity.)
How can I get a zone file?
Huh that surprises me. I would have thought that's exactly the kind of middle-class crowd that'd want to marry-in?
Indeed. I've never seen more insects, birds, toads, and bats in PA than I did this summer. Some nights the katydids were deafeningly loud. The only thing that seemed to decline was spotted lantern flies, thankfully.
I suspect that a lot of that is for the sake of client side prediction: if an enemy runs out from behind a wall, you want as little delay as possible between it happening and the player seeing it in order to react. Cheaters love it, but it does help with the illusion that everyone is playing in the same game world in real-time with no delays
We already have all the agile consultants have rebranded themselves "DevOps" consultants, or even better at this point "DevSecOps" all well ignoring completely everything DevOps is supposed to be about.

These false priests of technology substitute their tools for their lack of understanding and ignore completely that just having a pipeline and doesn't mean you are doing DevOps.
Yup. Fundamentally, the issue is whether there is any means by which locally-generated power can backfeed onto the mains. Typically cogeneration is handled by making the local generator have no ability to create the signal, it can only come from reading the line voltage. The mains voltage dies, there's no more signal to drive it and so even in case of failure it will shut down.

Any system which absolutely prevents backfeed is acceptable, your use of the mains charging the UPS and the UPS driving everything is an acceptable way to do it--even if your system goes nuts no circuit exists by which that power can backfeed. It's more typically done by a mechanical isolation switch, you can either be connected to the mains and rely upon the signal from the mains or you can run locally with no physical connection to the mains.

The reason for this is repairs. If a lineman opens a breaker the wires after that point must go dead no matter what--if your system backfeeds into the wire you could kill the guy working on the wires.
Amazon doesn't even order books anymore in many cases.

Most of their paperbacks are printed on demand. Kinda cool and pretty good for the environment IMO. Never a book being printed that's not needed. But smaller stores can't compete with that.

> Most of society is against spyware

Part of this is because "spyware" connotes "malware". To steelman the other: would people willingly make the trade-off* if they knew how the data was used, in exchange for this free service? (AFAICT, the data was used in aggregate, to inform competitive intelligence - not for ad targeting or doxxing or parallel construction).

I looked up the poll results after Snowden's revelations because I was curious. Thought others might find the data interesting. (This is not exhaustive - I literally just did a quick search.)

In 2015, "A majority of Americans (54%) disapprove of the U.S. government’s collection of telephone and internet data as part of anti-terrorism efforts, while 42% approve of the program. Democrats are divided on the program, while Republicans and independents are more likely to disapprove than approve." [0]

"Also in 2015, 64% of Americans who had heard of Snowden viewed him unfavorably" [1].

I understood that the Smalltalk remarks were kind-of incidental to the point you wished to make.

So just some clarification for readers stuck at the big-blob Smalltalk no-version-control meme.
The MSDS for this stuff [1] is full of fun tidbits:

<<Ingestion: Ingestion is not considered a potential route of exposure. >> Read: nobody is dumb enough to eat this stuff

>you wanted to bomb Israel, in the 21st century

Of course it is not possible to right all old wrongs. I think we can agree in principle that the correct move on the US's part would have been to bomb Israeli military targets in 1967 though.

I am far more concerned with the present. I think all lobbying on behalf of foreign powers should be subject to FARA, paid or unpaid, as long as there is a proven link to that foreign power. For example dual citizenship should automatically trigger FARA reporting. The American people deserve to know who is working on behalf of foreign powers and may have interests that do not align with their own.

There are laws preventing price dropping on new books.

If Amazon has to start charging for shipping, they will be charging the same as every other bookstore in total, making them just another option among the others. Some will still prefer Amazon, but there is no downside anymore to chose another online shop (and there’s plenty big and reputable ones).
Yeah, we have some decent sized book festivals here in NYC, but they’re still relatively small. Brooklyn Book fest is one of the larger ones in NYC and the attendance number I found is about 35k people. The one in Lyon you mentioned seems to be at around 65k, in a city less than 1/10 the size of NYC.

It’s too bad, book festivals can be a lot of fun. I went to the Jaipur Literature Festival in 2019 and the estimate was 400k people over the 5 days. High school kids were even taking class field trips to hear author talks. It was really nice to see so many people excited for books.
With an answer? What you're calling "common sense" is nonsense to many people.
I’ve been having decent luck with babashka and more recently with nbb which is from the same developer but an npm install to start using it.

They both work really well for little scripts and tools where i found clojure startup time annoying.
> I'm thinking of Japan, where they rebuild houses every few years because they're old.

This is myth. 35yr loan is pretty basic, most loan supports up to 50yr. We can see many houses built 35yr ago. Anyway, installing EV charger is easy task for own house. It just takes about from $200 if 200V line is available. I believe mostly available unless the house is very old.

More importantly, there are many condos and parking that's hard to install charger due to it need to be approved in condo committee.
It is quite reasonable--the idea is that your local system must not backfeed power even in case of failure. You don't rely on how it should operate, it must be *impossible* for a failure to backfeed.

Thus, physical switches. The power company doesn't care what throws the switch, just that it exist.
Short answer is yes to the first - check the website for more info.

I'm not aware how Biden Sr. is cashing in on his son's "work". Please note that I'm not contesting the fact that his son's role was some degree of corruption, but I haven't seen compelling evidence that the money was flowing back to his dad.

Please stay on topic.

Only in the broadest possible sense, and honestly so broad that it doesn't really communicate much useful information in this instance.

It's similar to conflating heroin's affect on dopamine to that of masturbation, and coming to the conclusion that they're "similar": they are, if you read them as a pure set of checkboxes, but they're so qualitatively and quantitatively different in their affect on the human organism that it muddies more than clarifies -- in my opinion (a semi-educated one, I have a BSc in Chemistry, though I'm no professional) of course.

You're definitely right about how fascinating scopolamine is though.

Doesn't media mail already do this (in the US)? If you're just sending books, the USPS will deliver them well below cost.

I'm not sure what effect it has on local shops.
I wonder how much noise levels are playing a role in it. Habitat loss is an obvious contributor but it seems like noise levels would hurt songbirds efforts to find a mate.
Ugh, this is going to sound pretentious, but here goes:

When you follow a subject beyond a surface/casual level of understanding there is very little you just 'discover' at a bookstore, unless it's one of a few specialty shops. You follow journals, publishers' catalogs, and forums which not only keep you current with new releases, but also expose you to back-catalog and out of print material. And nobody beats Amazon for carrying all of that material.
The 6 limit was due to ancient linkers on Unix, which truncated external names to 6 characters. This affected file-scope identifiers with linkage (external or internal).

If a compiler has to work with some object file format which allows only six character symbol names (with case being indistict), there is nothing that can be done; but there is little reason to impose such a stringent limit if the underlying linker technology has a much more lenient one.

I think C90 still made that 6 character the minimum limit; a conforming C implementation of C90 was not required to accept a program which makes two external definitions that do not differ in the first six characters of the name, ignoring case.

In those days, it would have been useful to have a warning if you're using longer identifiers, or if your identifiers are not unique in the first N characters.

C99 raised a bunch of these limits, including that one; it became 31 characters. No mention is made that case is indistinct; it must be distinct.

The limit is still there; use 32 and your program is not strictly conforming to C99.
>I think you are arguing in bad faith if you accuse me of being 'in character'.

You can think that, but all I'm saying (sincerely) is that I do not have enough imagination to interpret what you write as being in "good faith".

That's not the same as coming to a conclusion, which I try never to do unless I actually have to take action. I just can't come up with a consistent contextual framework. Yet.

It would be interesting to me, if you said (which I believe you implied with the "intra-semitic" comment) you didn't care about the Palestinians, and in fact, you happened to have an Iranian perspective. I think somewhere I read that one possibility for where Jews came from originally could be the general vicinity of what is now Iran. Possibly meaning...not so semitic?

>had a number of vaccines during my life - I am not an antivaxx

"Antivaxx" in today's context has nothing to do with whether you've ever accepted a vaccine in your life, and everything to do with whether you reject COVID vaccines. In fact, that's as much the meaning as anything: that people who were previously OK with vaccines (including the regimen of sometimes experimental vaccines required by the military) are somehow now vociferously opposed to COVID vaccines.

And, on that measure, even a cursory glance at your recent comment history reveals that you are unequivocally antivaxx.
Here's one I found recently:

You can go to John Deakins' website and talk about cinematography. No money, no subscriptions, no ads, just make an account and log in and he talks to people who have an interest in amateur photography and film about his tricks and gadgets in his forum.
The sad thing is that that’s probably no longer the case, it sounds like ice/meth is a big problem in rural Australia.
> In any case, I would argue that most of the asset price appreciation of the last 10+ years appears largely rational in the sense that it is supported by corporate fundamentals (record profits, record GDP, etc) and other robust economic data that is consistent with a growing economy. It isn’t just a fictitious boom as many “asset price inflation” narratives like to imply.

The PE ratio for the S&P 500 is currently ~28X, which is roughly double it's historical average and ~50% more than the average from 2010-2020. Is it really supported by corporate fundamentals?

How does it not pass Occam's razor? A large pharma corp, known for sacrificing morals in the name of profit in the past[1], wouldn't do it again?

The pandemic has indeed caused casualties, but casualties amongst the population in question here (children and teens) is very low. Pfizer's own 6 month efficacy study shows total deaths amongst vaccinated and unvaccinated are statistically insignificant, with unvaxxed dying more of covid, and vaxxed dying slightly more of myocarditis and other heart-related issues[2].

There at least one big online book selling store in France that will benefit from this law if it passes.

The point is not on online vs brick and mortar, it’s to prevent Amazon from providing a lower price by eating shipping costs. Keep in mind they can’t reduce the book cost when it’s new (it’s a French law), so shipping price was their only lever.
According to the CDC and the national vital statistics system, the number of deaths, in America, in 2019 was 2,854,838. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/deaths.htm

Using your math, there have been 738k deaths in ~1.7 years, or roughly 434k deaths per year yielding 15%, or 1 out of 6 deaths.

I just want to point out that death is not the only bad outcome of Covid. Medical researchers are finding evidence of memory loss and brain fog, long term disability, and long recovery times. https://www.foxnews.com/health/covid-side-effects-could-incl...

Also, 2x chance of death is a pretty high threshold! (I don't mean any criticism, just surprise.)

But this all focuses on the role of an individual and not the on role of a community. Smokers don't just harm themselves; second-hand smoke harms other people. Indoor smoking bans are for communal health, they aren't primarily meant to impact the individual smokers, who just go outside. Similarly, Covid-19 harms others if they get infected, and it also harms people who have put off non-emergency surgeries when hospitals are overcrowded.

Re: Emotional Contagion. If I remember correctly, the effects that were reported in the Facebook study were small, on the order of a change from 5.1 to 5.3 positive emotion words. (But it has been a while, so take that with a grain of salt.)

> How do we know that what we're dealing with now isn't just Facebook and the media putting the results of that study into practice?

This is an interesting question. Consider that lumping 'the media' together with Facebook means that most media outlets in every country (hundreds of thousands of people with their own agendas, political slants, biases, motivations, and who don't speak the same language) are now cooperating with one of the few companies widely credited with decimating newsroom web-traffic and by extension newsroom profits.

Other commentary, mostly focusing on asking why this happened:

https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/19673522.brighton-mps-slam-y...
No I am Canadian, so I am still in North America. And while we do prioritize health more than America, we do still have a decent amount to consider when it comes to healthy eating still. I know in America processed food is quite a bit cheaper than it is in Canada, especially things like fast food. When I have been there and seen the prices on things like food and alcohol it's quite the difference.

Unfortunately though in Canada produce can still be cheap. We do subsidize produce in a lot of ways though. For example my relative has a farm. It's a relatively small farm, but he also pays almost nothing in taxes because of farm subsidies and exemptions he gets. Without those kinds of government benefits farming often wouldn't even be economical at all. However I believe even animal production is like this. In fact I believe animal production often gets even more subsidies than produce based farm operations in Canada.

However, I personally don't view a lot of these taxes in the same way as sin taxes. I view the taxes on unhealthy foods as a way to try and slightly subsidize the healthier foods. Is it 100% effective? Nope, but it does help to reduce their costs a bit. But you're right that this often can end up screwing over the poor people more than other groups.

I feel like this is a broader problem though. It seems like a good chunk of government policies screw over the people who are already the worst off. For example: if a millionaire gets a speeding ticket for going 20 over it barely is a blip on their radar. But if someone who is poor living paycheck to paycheck gets hit with one it can greatly impact them. And they can barely even afford to try and fight it in court because that may mean taking unpaid time off from work. This is just one example of where it seems like society is setup to feed off the middle and lower classes to keep the upper class prospering.

It doesn't help that a lot of our politicians are part of that upper class and don't understand how different of a world it can be in these other classes.

And recycling isn't going to solve this problem."
