> Yes it's easier to shoot yourself in the foot in Ruby but that doesn't mean we all design crap code.

As your team grows it becomes harder and harder to prevent people from shooting themselves (and the rest of the team) in the foot in such a way, doubly so when you're working in a language that more easily permits it. To your point, if you're working in a smaller team with collaborators that you trust not to make these mistakes, that's a different situation.

The inscrutable-method-input scenario that haunts me the most is the case of "options hashes" in Ruby/Rails. Someone writes a method that accepts a single hash of possible options keys, instead of an N-arity method that accepts those scalar values directly. When someone needs to modify the behaviour of that method, the short-term path of least resistance is to just throw another key onto the blob. In the most notorious example I can think of, one of our applications had an options hash with 30 (not an exaggeration) possible keys, after several years of developers deeming that the easiest way to implement whatever feature they were tasked with implementing. It was a total nightmare trying to debug situations where Key A | Key B conflicted in subtle ways with Key C & Key D.

Of course there's nothing preventing that sort of scenario from emerging in a statically typed codebase, but I find there's more friction around doing so. Especially if you start out with a rigid interface (with non-nullable keys) that all your callsites must conform to. If someone tries to add a new key to the argument interface, those callsites will need to be updated to match.
It's much more complicated than that. For example, "printing money" doesn't necessarily expand the money supply [1], since the money supply isn't composed exclusively of central bank-issued money. And then there are other variables at play.

In the case of QAnon, and other online conspiracies, such visualizations are designed to elicit strong feelings of anger and outrage to support information gathering among anons and “red pill” newcomers.

> that subsidize services at the expense of service providers (e.g. drivers, warehouse workers)

In the case of Uber/Lyft, it appears from the economics that they're subsidizing services more so at the expense of investors.

In other words, the bulk of the financial burden is in the form of burning through VC/Debt $$$ they've raised. Sure, they also have been known to try to shaft the gig workers here and there, but they're by no means the ones shouldering the bulk of the burden for the subsidizing.

Otherwise, there would be little incentive for gig workers to ever join that platform to begin with.

>Players who play the high profile games that web assembly would allow you to make games for (think Fortnite, CS:GO, etc) all want to play games from a trusted download from a trusted store, not some random website.

People just don't want to invest/search for random new games on random websites.

For games people want to play, and already have heard about, it wouldn't matter if they are on a website or a "trusted store". If Fortnite was made available to play only from a website starting tomorrow nobody would have a problem using it from https://www.fortnite.com as opposed to Epic's game platform.

And for games sold by big companies, it also wouldn't matter. It's about trust (which Valve or Epic has), not about web vs a launcher/store.

If devs can get that trust, then getting users to play the game on the web is not a problem.

>but for many many games (source: my wife is a game designer and I'm a game programmer/web dev) that still entails at least 1 GB of data that would need to be loaded and is difficult to cache client side in the browser.

You also need to download/cache that 1GB or 10GB if you use Valve or whatever.

As for caching it client side in the browser, you can do it as well, either as browser cache (browser vendors will just add the technologies for that), or as locally downloaded assets with direct access granted from the browser (the article already talks about using a new API for mmapping-style access to files outside the browser).
Perhaps our expactation of privacy should depend on what platform we use, no e2e on public platforms (i.e. Facebook) but e2e on other platforms where an username/id/phonenumber is required, that can not be found easily.

I think the main problem is users mainly using only one platform for their communication instead of choosing it on a case by case basis.

You asked a good question that I’ve wondered as well. Basically someone has to show that immunity to one variant confers immunity to another, which is not at all obvious since presumably they have different epitopes. I guess what people are suggesting is that the epitopes are distinct enough that a targeted vaccine might not cover both, but not so distinct that they behave like separate infections in vivo. But I would hope that an expert can chime in and shed some light here.

Crown corporation in Canada isn't running any industries though, it is just an organization for providing government services and isn't any different than a typical department of education or post or government rails etc.

I'm sure most agree with you that there are areas best served by government run organizations. Crown corporation just operates in such areas, so it wouldn't change peoples views on what services a government should run at all.

The gap is reported to be increasing, but is that actually regarded as a problem by the ruling class? They may actually prefer this, as it gives them greater chunk of power and secures their position.

In other words, the gap may be increasing and we don't like it, but this may very well be the intended "how is it going".

> Specifically infection gives both more robust and stronger immunity than the vaccines.

Isn't there evidence that says the opposite? And that immunity due to infection is much more variable between individuals and infections, due to how the immune system responds to the virus.

> I don't understand how printing money could not cause inflation

Suppose the government prints one dollar and shortly thereafter everyone goes bankrupt and collapses the money multiplier. This will definitely result in net deflation.

OK, that's extreme, but it should prove a point in extremis. But it is possible that the government could print money and suddenly people stop... paying off their debts, or something. Maybe they start thinking that dollar-denominated-capitalism is pointless because it's all cronies that get it anyways, and just exit the economy. Or like, screwing the poor through inflation triggers some sort of revolution and all the banks selectively are levelled by anarchist activists.

So "printing money" could definitely cause deflation in some scenarios. You probably don't want to be participating in an economy that takes that turn.
We're finding that stuff we thought would be impossibly hard is subject to brute force using simple constructs, and stuff we thought would be simple is proving incredibly difficult.

I didn't go to college for a number of reasons some of which i stand by to this day and others are the result of being a arrogant teenager.

I want to go back for a career change, I feel, at least from an education and career perspective I could get more from it than I would had I chose to go at 17/18, though I'd only get a fraction of the social benefits.

The thing is, I still am incredibly on the fence about the ROI. The problem is that no matter what, at this age (still pretty young) going back to school will suck my two most valuable resources: time and money significantly. The bureaucracy surrounding higher education (US context) is basically unhackable in my experience and the way its set up, the longer I wait, the higher the time cost, but if I try to go back ASAP the monetary cost is too heavy.

Going back would probably use up the rest of my "youth" (not that I'm doing much with it either way) and almost certainly lead to a lower lifetime earning amount (though by what degree is dependent on a number of things) which are both fine, if things work out ideally.

If not, the ROI is ridiculously low.

First trait? What about computation, memory and logical reasoning? Computers crush people at all of these and have been doing them so well for so long that you don't think of it as AI. Still, definitely not the first human trait that computers can beat.

Creativity is hard to talk about in this context for a bunch of reasons - it's hard to define, I don't think it's that impressive in humans, AI models are already decent at creative tasks like image and music generation but those are all based on training examples...

Not only this, but it's also a matter of whether money supply expansion outpaces the growth of goods and services in the economy or not. As long as the growth rates roughly match, even without velocity decreasing, you wouldn't necessarily get inflation. It's way more complex than just "print money == inflation."

You want a little bit anyway. Simplistically, if all you have in your economy is 10 dollars and 10 hamburgers, then hamburgers will probably be worth something like a dollar each. If you go to 20 hamburgers but stay at 10 dollars, now hamburgers are worth $0.50, which is great for dollar holders, not so great for hamburger makers. A healthy economy, however, is not one in which actors are incentivized to hoard currency. You want economic actors to be incentivized to produce goods and services. If you grow to 20 dollars and 20 hamburgers, that is price neutral, but you don't really want price neutrality. You want it to be more lucrative to produce goods and services than to hoard currency.

There is some valid concern that this can harm retired savers, but we developed a solution to that a long time ago that doesn't require deflationary currencies. We split ownership shares of the companies that produce goods and services and trade them publicly so people can get a cut of the wealth growth without needing to become producers themselves. Retirees can own appreciating assets by buying stock in companies that make stuff, rather than holding their life savings as cash under a mattress.
> the education you can get for free.

Perhaps I should have elongated my quote. The findings indicate that there is absolutely no economic gain to be found in education, no matter how much or little it costs.

It is not a case of `Economic gain of $50,000 - Costs of $100,000 = -$50,000 ROI.` It is straight up suggesting that there is no economic gain at all. So even if you eliminate your costs in acquiring an education, your gain is still nothing.

This is very much in contrast to what most people believe, who see economic value in having knowledge and skills. Most interesting to me is that it passes this state of education having no value off as "Naturally".
