Ideally there would be an adult figure in all children's lives to fill this role. If nobody else, their parents or other adult figures (and yes, there are cases where there are no adults, but we can't make societal decisions on the norm based on the the edge cases).

I can't help that most the adults that complain about their children getting access to ideas they don't like are those adults that don't bother to talk to their children about their views and ideas and know to challenge them on ideas that are poorly thought out.

If you ignore your child's interests for years and then are surprised to find out they have completely opposite views from you that you disagree with, the problem is not the literature they read, it's your lack of involvement in the formation of their ideas.

If you (the general you) are involved and your child has views you disagree with but you can't provide compelling arguments to make them change their mind, at a minimum you should also be looking at your own views to see how well they stand up and not assume your own infallibility. Doesn't mean you're wrong, but don't expect that you're always right when you might be espousing the equivalent of 1+1=3 and rightly getting told to shove it.

We aren't factories pumping out clones, we're creating people, and people have their own views. The best you can do is try to help them avoid the pitfalls.

The GGP post was claiming housing was zero-sum. Posts responding to it seem to be trying to contradict it.

My point is that in a world of finite resources, it's going to be zero-sum at some point whether that's land, water, money, labor, or something else. It's not good or bad, but you do have to pick your poison to a certain extent.
In that model, why wouldn’t the company insist that you move closer to work to minimize the commuting payment? You picked where you live and what company you applied to work at; they didn’t pick where you live.

If that means that you want to only apply for remote positions, that’s certainly your choice; I don’t blame you in the least for it, but expecting a company to pay you as a result of where you chose to live seems unlikely to happen, to put it mildly.

That's a lot of what-ifs with the assumption of corruption. There is no fundamental reason why companies and the government can't cooperate for mutual benefit.
Then it doesn't fix the bubble because you're still giving regular people very low interest loans which they use to bid housing prices up to the sky.

Whereas if you raise interest rates, housing prices go down relative to wages without any change to property taxes.

I don't get the tone of the article. The author comes off as a whiny, smarmy, entitled asshole. What's wrong with a 20% raise? Article seems to be written by a hard, hard, hardcore socialist. My math tells me that lowest payed employees make around $35,000 USD, with a raise getting them closer to $40,000 USD. Nothing to snarf at.

"The final union-approved contract, close to Deere’s preceding “best and final offer,” grants 10% pay raises in 2021 and 20% raises overall in four years. That sounds great, until you learn that a 10% increase could mean pay bumps of less than $4,000 for some longtime workers. "
What you've said makes sense, but not as a reply. Unless you can explain how it justifies the claim that the other person claimed you made?
Median disposable income has nothing to do with how well the bottom part of society is doing. 40% of Americans have limited or no health insurance. And Americans in general live shorter lives than Europeans. 100% of Western Europeans have full health coverage and free or close to free access to top Universities. Comparing different countries can’t be boiled down to median disposable income. Unless you have a very simplistic view on what matters in life.

> testing that all of it is valid is not trivial

If it was easy then people wouldn't have to be reminded to do it—it'd just get done. :)

One way could be to pre-compute checksums of the files in question and then verify them periodically:

* https://aide.github.io

* https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=aide

It's also why people suggest using ZFS: it has checksums on the live data to make sure bits aren't flipped, but those checksums can then be replicated to remote copies (zfs send/recv) to make sure your copies also coherent. A service like rsync.net allows remote ZFS data sets—that can also be encrypted.
Really interesting read. Reminded me of The Expanse and how much effort and diligence was used in the effort to terraform Mars and here the Japanese basically did that to their island using their own biological waste and turning it into such a way of life. Need food? Here's my shit. Your house burned down and we lost all that excrement? Farms fail. Just wild the economics and rules around all of this and the end result from it. I'll never look at their scenery the same again.

I admit that your point is valid in the scope of modern living. I do think this is reflective of some of what has been lost in the last century, however. With greater routine access to artisans, shops and grocers, the ability to obtain fresher, healthier ingredients in smaller quantities more frequently is a natural consequence. The sort of diets and lifestyles that we (American culture specifically) still sort of fetishizes through Food Network, A&E, and YouTube food entertainment series are enabled through the greater availability and access to Main Street shops that cater to narrower markets like bakers, delicatessens, butchers, farmers' markets, and general stores. Granted this isn't automatically a panacea, and may not necessarily scale to modern populaces effectively, but I am of the opinion that it's a component of a healthier and more sustainable way of living in areas that could support it.
I tried to get someone to use Zapier to automate how they were monitoring some news sources for their consulting company but they never managed to do it because the technical barrier was too high for them. The main blocker to automation is ignorance about what computers can do. Most people never bother to learn how to fully utilize computers so that they can leverage it to simplify their work. I think this will continue to be the case for the foreseeable future.
If it means that some actually-a-dog2 realizes that they prefer it enough to work for 5% less, then you need to compete with that.
I’ve used libGDX. Porting to iOS/Android/HTML5 is honestly a pain.

iOS is actually not that hard, I got it to work using RoboVM, but you have to do some research because the documentation is outdated. HTML doesn’t work with Kotlin because it compiles directly from Java, and because it compiles directly it probably has some extra quirks.
>My grandparents moved from another continent and left all their friends and family behind in search of a better life.

We have known what PRISM is for almost a decade now (since we saw Snowden's slides for it), and it is neither what you nor smoldesu claim it to be. The FBI issues a court order to tap a particular account, and the company complies by forwarding that account's email and messages. Then PRISM ingests that data into NSA databases.

This is the logic that led to people recommending against masks: wearing masks would give people a false sense of security, and they'd start touching each others' eyeballs.

Turns out, that's not how human psychology works. If people are doing something, then other people feel like they can, too; if everybody's waiting for the big solution that will actually be worth doing (but won't ever happen, for political reasons)?

The air force wants to replace the F-16 with the F-35.

Shame that in exercises the F-35 loses visual-range fights with the F-16 even when the F-16 is carrying external fuel tanks.

The issue is that it's almost universally worse than all the specialty aircraft it replaces at that specialty job. It's worse at fighting insurgents than the A-10. It's worse at dogfighting than the F-16. It's worse at air superiority than the F-18.

The Air Force had so much trouble with pilots attempting to land without lowering the landing gear (and it was on the checklist) that during flight ops an officer was stationed at the end of the runway whose sole job was to check each landing airplane having the landing gear lowered.

> Put another way, if I'm worth $Y to you sitting in an office, and I can accomplish the same work at home, from anywhere, just as effectively, why should I get paid any less?

There is something called Win-Win situation. Now you may call it management mumbo-jumbo. But what I see happening is if I save, say 15 hours of weekly commute and getting ready for work etc, I would be willing to take a cut that would seem reasonable based on my money/leisure need. If I keep looking at company's benefit and not mine (or maybe I have none) then of course pay cut seems insulting.

You haven't calculated the cost of living yet. If I need to be in an office, I have to live within x minutes of that office and any travel has to be on the weekends or paid time off.

This leads to the phenomenon of cities, where a million shmucks try to do the same thing at the same times and drive up their own real estate prices in the process.

Contrast this with moving to a holiday home or holiday destination, probably with a vastly lower cost of living, or going away for a "weekend" but during odd days and missing all the traffic. Sounds amazing to me.

Found it: "Down on the farm"

https://www.tor.com/2008/07/20/down-on-the-farm/

And it was an "IBM 1602" although pretty obviously based very closely on the actual 1620.

The real world 1620 was a 50s era RTL scientific computer (IBM used to separate math processors from business processors, until the famous "360" that did everything pretty well). This used the SMS style hardware cards that everything IBM made used until the 360-era SLT cards. Each SMS card holds enough circuits to be roughly one 7400 series TTL chip.
I don't see what's preventing Epic from either partnering with Microsoft (or Google, Amazon, Nvidia...) or creating Epic Game Pass.

It would seem that cloud gaming/web gaming is a pretty good workaround on iOS, and a pretty good option on Android as well.

Lots of people all over the world do shopping for multiple days of groceries without having a car. It's not that hard - a large bag for veg, a somewhat smaller bag for protein, maybe a third bag for miscellaneous. Especially if you eat a reasonably traditional Japanese diet, it'd be easy - rice and miso you only buy once a month or so depending.

Groceries in the West take up so much space because they are all prepackaged. A couple boxes of cereal and a loaf of bread takes up as much space as a week worth of veg. Using dishclothes and a washlet instead of paper towels or (most) toilet paper and you've got another couple volumetrically huge items off your shopping list

Interesting, as English is my second language I always thought that the clunk behaviour was due to my accent. But reading this thread seems like it is not, google assistant is clunk
This seems obvious, but you have to be willing to do a bit more work at the beginning before the assistant can help you do less work.

Like, you have to have the time to explain processes to them soup-to-nuts, and then also occasional periods of time for them to check in.

Some people hire assistants or temps because they're overwhelmed and/or there are tasks that they have mental blocks about (as opposed to tasks that they would just like to have taken off their plates). But then their mental blocks are too strong for them to train the person in the task that's triggering them. Or they're too busy to train somebody to help them become less busy. So just make sure to avoid those pitfalls.
Cool website. The site appears to be EA-focused. Do you also have a PA-focused product for things like help scheduling my personal flights, workouts, managing my calendar, doing random research for restaurants, collecting all my tax documents, etc.?

I am definitely considering this -- when I say 'job' I often think I'd be better suited for a smaller company because I'm a pretty big generalist. I can sell technical stuff, I can write code, I can manage people, but I am by no means an expert on any of these things.

I guess you'd recommend early stage startups as the opportunity to explore?

P.S.

The point is that the average human ""real" color space" has a very weird shape :

Good luck representing that with only 3 channels, without using "bytes representing 105" (aka imaginary colors), and trying to stay percepetually uniform !

It gets even worse : the real color space is non-Euclidean : it stretches out, parallel lines drift further apart, etc.

Citation needed. My experience working with both proves the exact opposite. I think the Human Development Index of a person is more important in a knowledge economy than whether they're willing to work for 23 hours a day for 24 cents. And the first world countries absolutely dominate the world in this regard.

When I moved from the third to the first world, I was shocked by the high standard of personal "development" - for lack of a better term - of the average person, or even people lower down on the social ladder.
I have three Nanoleaf Essentials bulbs. These are RGB LEDs which screw into ordinary A19 sockets. They work over Thread, so no connection to the Internet or my WiFi. My HomePod Mini is the Thread router.

The setup is very cool. I say "Hey Siri, good morning" before I get out of bed, and the lights turn on. Siri also understands more complicated requests like "set the center light to cyan" or "set all the lights to 50%." I also save configurations ("Scenes") and Siri can apply them by name.

Importantly the fixture has a physical switch and the bulbs reset to ordinary white after powering off, so the bulbs fail like an escalator if the WiFi is down.

No relation to any of these products, just a happy customer.

we applied rle encoding for time-series and triac control systems 43 years ago after getting some guidance from a mainframe guy - but since RLE is practical so that we even use it to give direction to people on the street, its probably so old that its even found its way into the way our genes are encoded. :D

Also, if this were for a company I'd suggest to test the backup at least once during the object lock duration: e.g. if the object lock is set to 30 days, you have to test them at least once (e.g.: day 15).

That's because a targeted attack with a ransomware could gain access to your servers and wait 30 days while silently encrypting your backups until the 30th day, when the attackers could just complete the attack encrypting the rest of the files and showing the message.

So my recommendation for extremely critical data would be:
1) Test whole data thoroughly at least once during the object lock period.
2) Setup an automatic task that retrieves X random data every day (or the longest period of time you can afford to lose it) and perform checks with checksums or other methods. If something is corrupt and/or encrypted you will realize before it is too late.

Repair isn't a natural right, but it is a natural consequence of natural rights. IF you don't own your devices enough to swap components, flash their firmware, and root around their insides, your natural rights of ownership over your possessions are being trampled. Your freedom to tinker is your freedom to learn and think. Your freedom to break and reprogram is your freedom to protest. Your freedom to change and repurpose is freedom to be secure against search and seizure. These freedoms are being trampled by corporations that are certain that their right to profit overrides them - Don't let them.

No, "Repair" isn't a right in and of itself, but by the time you've lost the ability to, you've lost all of your other rights.
