Interest rates on treasury notes need to rise, period the end.

Yes, I understand the implications and entailment, but don't care about the risks. The cure has side-effects, yes... we get it, but low interest rates is cancer that cannot be allowed to become systemic new-normal nonsense. 10 or 20 years from now is when we see the lagging effects, and of course the problem we have now is short-term thinking.

Yes, it will all collapse someday, maybe soon. But as long as housing is treated as an investment, it can remain unaffordable in the face of supply surplus.

> If the systems are so vital surely there is a detailed specification and writing in an easier to maintain language would repay the effort?

As others have said, no, there's probably not a complete specification. But even if there is, it's not nearly complete enough.

That code may have 50 years of bug fixes and corner case fixes in it. How many times was the spec changed to reflect those fixes? Probably not always. If you rewrite it from the spec, how many of those issues are you going to re-introduce?

And, how many new bugs are you going to introduce? The old code has 50 years of "getting the bugs out". It may be hard to maintain, but for what it does, it probably does it pretty solidly. Will the new code be as solid?

Re-writing isn't as easy as it looks...

> what were the dietary sources of salt say earlier than 10 thousand years ago.

For inland communities, meat and salt licks. For coastal communities, seawater.

> There’s the argument that goes “people never ate salt in modern quantities so evolutionary speaking this is a new shock to the system”.

These arguments are indistinguishable from those suffering from the naturalistic fallacy [1] (EDIT: appeal to nature). One can construct an argument in its form for and against virtually any behavior, depending on what evidence one considers (e.g. which populations one samples), assumptions one makes (interpolating the archaeological evidence) and how far back one looks (early civilization, early humans, early hominids, et cetera).

Probably with a composite class I guess. So a union type of types A and B has members of types A and B, and a non-nullable flag to indicate which one this instance is. Intersection type is just the same thing without the flag.

I used to be very big on commuting less. Then my wife got pregnant and suddenly it was more important to be in the right school district and close enough to my parents that they can come over regularly to visit and help. I find that shortening other people’s commutes to you changes their behaviour in ways that involve seeing you far more. Shortening your commute adds time to your day but doesn’t really change the things you can do in that time. These days I value the extra interactions far more than the extra time. For what it’s worth in non-COVID times I’m a subway commuter who mostly reads on the subway.
> very close in physical memory address to those you control.

Not quite. It doesn't require the ability to write to the neighboring cells, just read from them.
At the end there you highlight the issue that makes me think good taste is still hand wave-y subjectivity.

Since you say early on good taste is the difference between “I have” and “I do” good taste can’t be anything we possess, so how can anyone “have” good taste. Round n round we go.

This continues to highlight for me the shortcomings of human languages. Chomsky calls them random noise formalized and controlled by political powers. It makes sense, they only show up 5,000 years ago and we had glyphs for process and ideas before then. Given our legal system is normalized to matters of object possession, so goes our discourse. Given your measure it’s about “I do” versus “I have” can anyone “have” good taste since it comes down to advertising and accepting one is possessed of certain character traits? Isn’t it still gaudy self promotion and idolatry?

I’m still leaning towards peoples social power being due to their relative closeness to social power. Not that they’re uniquely beyond human. Why accept that in a system politically and academically normalized abstraction “good taste” is a useful language object itself?

I think the only first world people having any issues with salt consumption are folks trying to live entirely off the land, and vegetarian leaning. While looking for other things, I've found a couple of videos talking about what plants bioaccumulate salt and how to extract it. I think it depends on whether the plant is otherwise poisonous. If it's edible then clearly making broth out of it would be the most productive option.

Many of our biggest civilizations have access to the ocean or river deltas. They would have had access to salt. From what I understand, predators get their entire salt intake from the animals they eat (blood, in particular?), and when we ate the entire animal that probably would have worked for us as well.

If you're trying to get salt from plants it's because you don't or won't have other options. There was a time that discovering salt deposits within your kingdom had huge political implications.
This is why we need so much extra salt in our diets.

The word "salary" has roots in salt, as well as "sauce".

Children in Slovakia all know a fairy tale called Soľ nad zlato ("Salt over Gold", translated as The Salt Prince) written by Pavol Dobšinský likely sometime in the late 1800's.

It was made into a film in 1983 which became somewhat known internationally.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Salt_Prince

In the story, the king gets offended in relation to salt, and bans it. Everyone in the land, as well as their livestock, gets sick in addition to having to deal with bland food and losing appetite.

From one full text on the web: "Pomaly odpadla ľuďom všetka chuť do jedenia. Len už tej soli aspoň ako márny mak si každý žiadal na jazyk. Ešte aj statok trpel. Kravy a ovce prestali dojiť, pretože nemali soli. Ľudia chodili ako omámení a upadali do chorôb. Kráľ a jeho dcéry vyzerali už len ako tône."

"Gradually, the people shed all their appetite. Everyonec craved even just a tiny smidgeon of salt on their tongues. Even the livestock suffered. Cows and sheep ceased to yield milk for lack of salt. People walked about as if drugged, and fell into illnesses. The king himself and his daughters looked but like shadows."

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Graham is not saying that taste is quantifiable or identifiable via public opinion or consensus, so I'm not sure how the situation of 20 people in a room evaluating taste is relevant.

A bit late to the party. I recommend SICP, On Lisp & Art of Metaobject Protocol. The last you can skip to some degree because its quite advanced so unless you want to stay in the Lisp world, not as useful IMO (but lovely from an intellectual perspective, its a masterpiece). SICP definitely IMO.

On Lisp is by Paul Graham and pretty good too, but again its kinda more Lisp focused. Actually try PAIP by Norvig, I heard that is really good and it should be more useful for non lispers (even though its a lisp based book, it teaches lots of good programming concepts)
That requires vast quantities of space and a hot/dry climate to be done efficiently.

It certainly was done. Looking back at history, the places that could efficiently do so were major salt exporters; which rendered it uneconomical to do elsewhere.
I think the core of the problem has a few basic parts:

* the average person/family is trying to live a little beyond their means

* “work needed to do” is like a gas, it expands to fit the hours worked

* rent seeking elements expand to keep #1 true

The takeaway is that there is a lot of “work” being done in the economy that doesn’t need to be done because prices will always rise a little past what people can pay comfortably so… people work too much and think that they need to.

If you cut the lifetime hours worked by half, the standard of living probably wouldn’t change much.

The solution to this is radical modification of the markets which leech away extra income.

One such method would be to control real estate prices by enacting huge taxes on rental property and profits simultaneously making it extremely difficult or impossible to acquire large loans for real estate (owned or rented out). Making owning s home that isn’t your primary residence a huge financial liability and removing the ability to sell it for high prices would crash the market and remove the rent paid to landlords or “rent” paid to banks for mortgages. Both betting industries that take far more value than they give back.
I am not at all convinced that this is not a solvable problem. It may require significant changes in how schedulers work, such as resurrecting the idea of processor affinity.

> friend remarked that he didn't think there was any difference, that indeed all scallion pancakes were exactly alike to him.

This is entirely plausible. If you are used to eating some food regularly over the course of decades, you will be able to discriminate between good vs. mediocre versions. If you have only eaten a food a few times, the most relevant comparisons will be with other types of food, and you won’t necessarily notice the difference between two separate experiences of it. When compared to pizza, tacos, or bagels, all scallion pancakes are pretty similar.

For instance, a person who drinks red wine every day will be able to tell you the difference between varietals, regions, distinguish $100 vs. $7 bottles, maybe notice good vs. bad years from some vineyard; someone who has only rarely had red wine might think that they all taste about the same.

Montaigne often talks about this, but something that's true about virtue is that you can't disconnect the action from the motivation.

> Isn't it risky doing any customization since you don't get commodity pricing?

Depends on how many you order and how reasonable the customization is. Like, what if I wanted a 10,000 38 core Xeons with a 2.5GHz Base clock and 3.5GHz Turbo clock? Such a part doesn't exist, yet sits smack dab between two existing Models, the Xeon Platnium 8368 and 8368Q. Assuming yields are already good enough, that might be the sort of thing a CPU maker will do. (Might need more than 10k units though, IDK.)

Probably not by much. Balsa wood is extremely light, cheap, and easy to form into a wing. It is also easily repairable.

The real weight savings would probably come from the motor - and a carbon fiber casing might work here instead of the presumably steel casing currently in use. And though shaving weight off the wing would almost certainly move the center of mass further outwards, shaving the mass off the motor would move it further in. That might be detrimental, though, as the motor needs some leverage on the COM for this design.

This is a terrific project that invalidates many traditional ideas that we have about flying machines.
I think we can also safely assume that if proteins from salmon can be found up to 200 miles inland from their spawning grounds, that the salt and calcium from those fish also makes the same journey.

I literally worked for most of my child's 8 month life, from her ICU room, I worked the morning of her 9 surgeries, I worked through the genetic diagnosis, I worked through being told my child has brain bleeds, neuroblastoma, is deaf, re-intubated, etc... if my insurance wasn't tied to my work, I would've quit in a heartbeat.

I'm convinced I'll go to my grave with working that time being my biggest regret in life. I had benefits, but was saving the limited time for when my wife returned to work... to only lose it when my child passed.

I couldn't advocate more for maternal/paternal leave.
Relative to the expectations and predictions made in 2006, 2010, and 2015, it's a disappointment. Relative to what executives expected when they spent billions of dollars on it, following the lead of Google, it's a disappointment.

And Lord help me I'm talking about crypto on hacker news but Chia seems just better engineered overall:

- uses between 300x and 10000x less energy for the same security as Bitcoin
- has the most number of farmers/validators of any blockchain
- supports around ~25 transactions per second (as opposed to bitcoin's 5)
- very efficient and auditable on-chain language (much better than Solidity afaict)

The Chia team did a good job taking everything that works well from Bitcoin while also learning from its shortcomings and improving. Chia is now the table stakes for what other blockchains have to compete with.
For myself good taste sits on the axis of reproducibility. Food, for instance, will go stale over time, become bland and even toxic approaching an asymptote of "not good". Fresh food + skill = something delicious that is difficult to replicate. Knowing that deliciousness is good taste.

Much of Fussell's Class ends up being about this, which amounts to how various classes choose to signal, and how good they are at it. One of the biggest tells for the Fussell's Middle—who easily come off as the most unfortunate of the bunch, being the most class-anxious but also very bad at signaling—versus the "higher" classes he outlines, whom members of the Middle are often trying to signal as or imitate, are 1) how much of their stuff, including clothing, involves synthetic materials, and 2) how much of their stuff imitates a real thing—fake flowers, fine art prints on the walls, that kind of thing.

Just the selection of topic ("Startups") is bad. If you told real war stories or a compelling story from beginning to end it's one thing. As it is, your content is generic and doesn't say anything fresh or significant at all. It is like pornography that never gets to the money shot.

I find the content about anxiety cringeworthy. Oh, you found it was helpful to meditate three minutes a day. How nice.

I have struggled with anxiety, it has had profound effects on my career, my relationships and my body. I've made discoveries about it that are hard won and that are frankly beyond the pale. Some of those things I can't talk about because I'm afraid of getting arrested or sounding insane or like I am confabulating. I could not find some of my discoveries in western psychology and found out later that they were common knowledge in China 1000 years ago. There are things I couldn't do to save my life for decades where I then made a breakthrough that was like magic or science fiction. (Could anybody else replicate it? Would anybody else care? I don't know.) The glib nonsense you write is worthless to me.

Most of all there is the fact that you're mystified that you're not connecting with an audience. Meditate on that for 3 days or 3 years and you might be enlightened.

Go look at compelling business writers such as Eliyahu M. Goldratt, Clayton Christensen, Phil Crosby, and Jim Collins.
