I'd argue that libgcc is safe to statically link though.

The only downside of statically linking libgcc, as long as you keep your symbol visibility sane, i.e. not re-exporting everything which is unfortunately the default :(, is C++ exception across shared library boundary is not guaranteed to work. But if you are trying to make your library portable across different distro, having C++ thing in your external interface is never a good idea. Especially when you statically link libstdc++.

And we need the development of a "non-doctrinal" discipline of "good sense", which was normally built on proficiency and expertise in other domains but seems today immensely urgent as a direct topic.

One may think "logic", but it is much more subtle than that (especially in times in which also the clumsy use of logic-related instruments is widespread).
Indeed. People do not realize just how advanced the reliability infrastructure of those services is. Things like diesel power generators have been baked into cloud datacenters for what, a decade now? Probably longer. Show me your alternative power source when the power goes out (and power does disappear, everywhere, eventually).
Startup investing is going to be the most profitable form of investing over the next decade. Park your money with people who have a good product and a good team. It's easier (and more likely to be profitable) now than ever with the rise of crowdfunded equity sites like StartEngine. In the age of Kickstarter and RobinHood, these sites are going to explode in popularity.

I know Apple needs devs to make money. Lots of them. But I don't see any lack of them at the moment. In this context it appears we are just talking about selling more machines. You'd buy one. So would a few others. Apple wouldn't make a ton of money on that machine though.
"However, billion-year sustainability does require advances in seawater uranium extraction..."

This seems like a HUGE understatement. The calculations for the billion-year sustainability basically assume we have extracted every single bit of uranium from seawater. We have demonstrated extracting uranium from seawater [0] using plastic fibers with a compound that attracts the uranium+oxygen ions. But this would basically require pumping all of the worlds oceans through these fibers and continually extracting.

Think about what your actual cash outflow categories really are. 5-10% increase in the price of food or household items is nothing when so much of our income is already going to housing costs (like 30-50% housing), which have in large costal cities been YOLOing to the moon for the last couple years.

This actually brings up a really inconvenient point for the FIRE/All in VTSAX crowd IMO--when real estate is drastically beating the market how exactly does your FIRE plan work if you don't own a home and want to live in the same place?

Having 1.5MM in VTSAX is nothing when you want to buy a house but that is 50% of your total assets. The workaround is to just work longer and fatFIRE, so 1.5MM is no longer ok, it needs to be more like 3-4 to be able to put down a 250k downpayment if one is trying to retire in a desirable area. But then you have 250k downpayment in a 6x leveraged asset with no diversification. if you tried to trade stocks with 6x leverage and no diversification, this would be nuts but apparently it's ok to do for housing.

TL;DR I don't care if the price of cfood goes up a bit. Housing is going up 12%YOY and that is the main expense...
I’m simply surprised that there hasn’t been minimal cooperation from package carriers to develop a one time key system for porch lockboxes. The boxes wouldn’t even need to be robust.

Package carrier walks up. Scans the package, taps the scanner to the box, drop the package in the box, and off we go.

> It's definitely a much worse experience for the recipient, I think new social norms of asking first are probably the best solution. I wouldn't ring someone who wasn't expecting a call without asking them if they were free to call first for example, and I think the same should apply to voice messages.

True, the latter is definitely a good change. I noticed it in work too, people don't call without asking first. It's really a great norm because you can say "just give me 5 minutes to complete this" when you're concentrating.

Of course it was never a norm before because text messaging didn't exist but it makes sense.

It would be great if people started doing that too for voice messages.

That's great, but in practice, "formally defining a code of ethics that the AI will have to abide by" is a field that has existed for a few years already, with a lot of work that's more formal than "my dream would be to do things this way". I think the consensus is that "defining good and evil formally" is a losing battle, though I don't know the field that well.

Look up "AI aligment", there's a lot of material out there.

It's weird ... if you asked me to provide evidence for it, I would struggle to find THE ONE major thing (or let's say 4 or 5) that did this for me, but what you described is exactly how I feel about Matlab and Mathworks. Perhaps it was just death by a thousand paper cuts?

AFAIK, historically it has always ended up better to remain invested in the market. People have been predicting a catastrophe for so long now that it's hard to take them that seriously, I just assume they are missing some important detail which explains why they are always wrong. So I keep everything but my emergency fund invested, and avert my eyes from the news stories proclaiming the end is nigh. Worst case, I end up working longer than I'd like -- unless the world really does collapse, I have marketable skills that should at least pay subsistence money.

I also want the highest resolution screen with crispest graphics possible if I'm staring at it all day (1080p IPS displays are awful for my eyes). The thing about Macs that makes them nicer than most comparable Linux machines is the display is much better.

One of the only reasons to consider the Mac over something like an XPS today though (other than that you can go out and buy it) is that it supports Adobe products which you may need for front end work. However, if my company is all in on Figma and Im just working on a generic backend you bet your butt I'm asking for an XPS.

I mean, all this ruling says is that the plaintiffs did not have the data to calculate the financial damage.

It says nothing about the legality of Google’s actions, and furthermore, it does not preclude similar such damages being successful as long as the plaintiffs are able to back up the numbers sufficiently.
> If you're rich and/or highly mobile, you retreat to avoid this as much as you can.

That is certainly an option but it is not one I think many rich people have taken, at least not for the purpose of avoiding surveillance. Most rich (i.e. top 1% or top 5%) people just don't care that much if they appear in passing on someone else's porch camera. They believe (I think correctly) that the odds of that causing them any material harm are close to nil. There are a small handful of people who value privacy from mass nonspecific surveillance for its own sake, but it's an attitude that is not that common in the US, at least as far as we can tell from revealed preferences.

(Ed: I now see by "this" you're referring to bad behavior surveilled, not surveillance. In that case, I would tend to agree with you.)

> So I'm very sure that my most effective means of improving the situation is to put cameras on their affairs from my house and get all the other adjacent neighbors to do likewise. The dealers have felt the heat, and now their clients are normally more respectful and quiet, presumably at the prompting of the dealers.

Do you really believe this is going to be effective? In your scenario where the police are unresponsive to reports, what makes you think that they're suddenly going to care if you send them a bunch of surveillance video of illicit activity?

The drug dealers know when they're operating in safe territory. In places like San Francisco, people openly deal and use drugs on the street because they know that they are likely to get away with it.

I bet if you posed as a journalist, some of these people would even let you photograph their activities, all while flashing big smiles.
I don’t disagree with the wider point, but I want to point out that those numbers aren’t comparable. US GDP is entirely domestic, but US equities are just US-listed companies, and many of those are multinationals with lots of foreign exposure.

GNP is similar in spirit, but it’s still not right because foreigners hold a ton of US equities.

I am curious, too.

During one of the many internet lockdown I've experienced there I know Ethiotel allowed some Embassies to have their ADSL restored (the lockdown lasted almost a month): there was no internet even in very expensive western hotel: a couple of manager where telling me they were about have the internet back, but then this did not happen.

As for internet on mobile (which, btw, has becoming really fast last year: 4G with easy 100Mb up/down, in central Addis only, of course) I expect some people close to the government may still have internet access (the country have strong socialist background, and is not Nigeria, but power and money can move a lot as everywhere).

Technically I think it should be pretty easy to selectively lock the internet by working on the APN: you can lock the ordinary one that is pushed on every phone, and have another one for "friends".

Without getting into whether we need policing in general, I don't think this adequately explains why we need either American-style policing or this kind of creeping devolvement of tax-funded responsibilities back to untrained private citizens and companies.
Going more granular, it's easy to see other steps on this pathway— coal, then oil/gasoline/fuel, and now many uses like power generation and some fleet vehicles (taxis, buses) are shifted to NG.

In any case, I agree! None of these fuel systems were going to be long term sustainable, thought the economics involved have created an enormous incentive for certain firms and individuals to pretend so for as long as absolutely possible. Anyway, hopefully they have been enough of a technology bootstrap to enable the jump to ones that would be. Certainly no one in 1892 was going to be inventing a commercially viable nuclear reactor or solar panel with what was available at the time.
It'd be pretty hard to advance the civilization from coal-based energy straight into nuclear / solar, without all the carbohydrates-powered cars, trucks, and airplanes in the meantime.

> Time and time again we see someone get called on a welfare check only to be shot to death

You really need to pierce your bubble and ask what else happens that might not be shown to you. The news isn't real. Not really, anyway. Every single outlet has a bias and "lying by omission" to shape a narrative is common.

For example, did you know George Floyd is hardly the first person to have died under the knee of the police officer? At least 2 times before it, it was a minority officer killing a white man. You can watch it with your own eyes:

In Europe everyone knows that. Even the craziest of our "greens" who insist on complete domestic decommissioning know it. The reason a few European countries are shutting their nuclear power plants down isn't because they think they are unsustainable, but because they fear they may be targeted and attacked. They currently view them as the combination of a sitting duck and a powder keg.
Yes, you have a point there, but in this case would being liberal in what you accept be to accept filenames with spaces or (arguably) doing filename handling correctly (ie accept filenames with spaces)?
> have a slave like life

Everything is relative. It’s been a long time since I ran a Linux desktop (use it on the server plenty, though) and I could describe a “slave like life” where I had to endlessly fix driver issues, updates that broke functionality, etc etc. I expect my life would have been easier if I bought hardware specifically intended for Linux but then we’re back to “you can’t make a choice”. Linux saves money in the most straightforward sense: the software is free. But if it ends up being more work to maintain or to train people to use then it is costing you money still. Your time is worth money.

IMO it’s healthier to see pretty much every tech decision we make as boxing ourselves in some way or another. Use Windows PCs, you’re boxed into Windows. Use Linux PCs and MS cloud products, you’re boxed into MS cloud. Use Linux through and through you’re boxed into dealing with subtle LibreOffice bugs when handling documents. Which box fits you most comfortably is a matter of opinion rather than fact.

Interesting! I don't find awk too strange; indeed i strongly prefer it to Perl, which i wrote a lot of around the turn of the century.

These days i reach for awk for a lot of log processing, particularly when it needs to be stateful. For example, i have a log file with entries for remote clients connecting and disconnecting. An awk script can loop over that and keep an array of clients, adding and removing them as appropriate, and be easily tweaked to report different things - emit an event for each connection-disconnection pair, or track the number of clients connected over time, etc. I couldn't do that at all with sed. It would be more awkward with bash. It would be easy enough, if a little bit more verbose, in Python.

> Is it really worth investing in OAuth2 these days just because Auth0 pours millions in marketing? I highly question it…

I don't know your exact use case. But I did a presentation about OAuth in the real world for Denver Startup Week and there was a slide about why you should use OAuth.

* Standards based
* Sharp security minds designed it
* Lots of edge cases handled
* Interoperable
* Not perfect, but far better than if you aren't using Oauth
* Isolates sensitive user data like passwords or PII into a single server. Enforces separation of concerns and allows for single view of user (this benefit is not exclusive to OAuth, of course, but if you chose OAuth, you get it).

Disclosure: I work for FusionAuth, an auth service provider.
