Cleaning up the “dirty jobs” of data science with Crane by Dave Flynn
> The more people who belong to the so-wealthy-it's-hard-to-achieve group, the better.

Aren’t you just literally saying that social mobility is bad?
> US is at the top of the rung amongst OECD health index. The middle class is not too badly positioned. For the poor, there is Medicare: https://www.oecdbetterlifeindex.org/topics/health/

The breakdown on your link shows the US is scoring well because of high self-reported health, which seems very likely to be due to cultural factures. The objective part, life expectancy, is below the OECD average, and in line with the Czech Republic or Turkey.

> US is on par with UK and most OECD nations with regards to civil rights and liberties:

Cato is an American institution with its own biases. Just having a glance through their measurements, they consider female genital mutilation to be anti-freedom but male genital mutilation to be fine, and though this is supposedly a report on "negative rights" it considers countries that require people to call other people particular ways to be more free than those who aren't. They consider governmental ownership of industry to inherently reduce economic freedom, when often the opposite is true because of stronger fairness regulations on governments (e.g. privatized utility companies can deny service to individual more easily than governmental ones). And to return to my original point, despite talking about the importance of economic freedom and quoting Trotsky, their report doesn't even examine cases where people are excluded from employment through mechanisms other than law.
Slowing birthrates is very far from a population collapse. It's also (to generalise vastly) desirable - slower population growth is desirable environmentally.
> it’s amazing how hard people can work and not get ahead

It's not how hard one works, it's how smart one works.

The second aspect is what does one do with the income one has, which has a crucial impact on the person's future.
Lucky you for having a decent medical system, I consider myself to be exceptionally privileged. Which I can pay, at least to me a relatively small amount of money to treat. But if I was living paycheck to paycheck, I might not be able to afford my medication, and I can literally die due to not being able to afford my medication.

Medical expenses are the single worse thing about American life, so many of us end up skipping medicines that we need. And these medicines are relatively inexpensive, maybe three or $400 a month. But when you can't afford it you can't afford it, and then say you have a heart attack and you end up in the hospital. Then you're in debt for 30 or $40,000, and you'll never escape.

I'm looking to potentially immigrate to Europe in the near future, I'm very tired of this American Life of struggle.
It's faster and cross-platform (Windows/Linux/MacOS). Switching version managers is trivial. If you don't like it, just switch back in the time it takes to uninstall a binary.
From an M1 standpoint, the engine has been M1-native for a while - there's also a more recent update that makes the Docker Desktop UI/services M1-native.
> They’ve downright absurd data deletion/retention and versioning rules.

laughs in Code42

Code 42, makers of Crashplan, who shut down their consumer backup service and deleted the private keys needed to decrypt backups on your own drives...

...followed that up by recently announcing that they were changing file retention rules to purge all files older than 90 days. They lied and said it would be effective in a week or so, but it turns out that it was effective upon your archives being run through the periodic compact process after the announcement, and of course some people were at the head of that line.

Crashplan Pro Enterprise was a brilliant backup system and they drove it into the ground through staggering sales and support incompetence.

Now they sell some buzzword-box-ticking "stop your employees from COPYING THAT FLOPPY!" big-brother-esque profiling/monitoring software.

Thank you for mentioning those other backup programs, by the way. Hadn't heard of one or two.
To be honest, as a european, I don't really understand all this fuss about exceptionalism, being the biggest economy in the world, having the highest amount of billionaires in the world, etc.

I know that it is all a big deal in US and the Americans I speak with every now and then all proudly always talk that greatness, but I would just care about being able to live a life with dignity with socialised services, government pension, sick days, etc, that do not depend on a specific company benefit but belong to the human being as a human being

So I still believe US has greatness, I can see Jeff Bezos created an empire, but then courier have no rights and people dies in a warehouse peeing in a bottle, I see the greatness of Elon Musk but then he just behaves like a child on twitter with non-sense leeching taxpayers

I've gone a bit off topic, but my point is, I am an employee with a government pension, 8% holiday allowance, sick days contribution that are paid monthly from my salary to the department of welfare with pension plan, as many in Europe, and my boss isn't worth thousand times than the average employee and I am not sure if he's classified in the wealthiest person of the world, I don't mind, we're not exceptional, but do our job and have life, I guess European exceptionalism is the lack of it?
That's a question about philosophy, not real things existing. I mean, it's not going to be settled as a matter of fact, it's a matter of opinion.

But if you are asking for my beliefs, then no, rights are downstream of duties. For example, your right to free speech presupposes a duty on others to not punish you for your speech. Your right to housing presupposes a duty on others to provide you with housing. Your right to freedom of religion presupposes a duty on others to not discriminate against you for your religion and to make good faith accommodation for your religion, etc.

Different cultures will have different answers to this question which will be localized and not universal, as well as different capacities to impose these duties. Moreover, alienating you from these rights is quite easy, as it only requires abandoning the corresponding duties. So rights are clearly not inalienable.

At least this is my view - but you asked, so I tried to answer in good faith. I'm not going to argue with you if you have a different view, because again, this is localized to which culture/tradition you belong to.

> then you change the nature of business.

Okay? Let's change the nature of business then.

> I think society has found a decent balance here.

People spending over a month in jail is the right balance here?

What's to say this isn't something that's going to keep happening? What's the incentive for a company to actually do the right thing?

Honestly fines for companies should be far, far higher. At the amounts of single to double digits percentage of the company's revenue.
I'm probably in the minority here but I would never run this if given the option. Most of the stuff in here has nothing to do with development as is just personal preference. Like what are you hoping to accomplish by dropping `ag` on my PATH? It's just not a tool I use.

The stuff that's specific to development -- go, node, npm, etc. -- sure that makes sense, but installing that stuff via brew is vastly inferior to versioning it as a dependency within your build system. And I'm not saying you have to use bazel or something. Pin your versions, install them by script in the context of your build tools and leave it at that.

I'd reckon the reason you don't see this sort of thing often is because it's not actually useful or necessary. I'd rather follow steps in a document somewhere so I can ignore the steps I don't care about and share steps I find useful.

It's like showing up to a job and them saying "hey we've preconfigured emacs for you."

I'm a professional and take pride in knowing my tools. I can set up my development environment myself. I use Nix where possible and tend to avoid homebrew. Half of these things I have in my dotfiles or nix configs already, as do most of my peers.

I'm sure others will find this useful, and there's certainly nothing harmful about this, but it's certainly not for me, and I'm certain there's a better way to go about handling all these things.
imagine equating wealth to attraction, lol. I understand your point, but what an inane example.
The output is not fixed. An economic system with a different distribution of resources, or different taxes and import restrictions can have a better outcome, or more economic output
It's bad PR. Screams "you should definitely use Graviton and btw our marketing department is trash"
There are two articles about Afghanistan on the BBC front page right now, and more can be found by following links into categories Afghanistan or Taliban; I found 20 articles in the last 5 days. So I wouldn't say they're exactly ignoring it.
Wasabi is also a little cheaper than AWS S3 afaik
Because wealth is used to capture political power, which in turn is used to help the wealthy hoard even more wealth and retain that wealth.

Furthermore, this often is done at the expense of everyone else. Wealth may not be zero-sum, but that is only true in the abstract sense; I wouldn't be surprised if we found out that most people who are at the topmost quintile acquired their wealth by sucking value out of the system (e.g. rent-seekers, parasitic middlemen, etc.), rather than via value generation.
56% of Americans spend at least one year in the top 10%, and 73% spend one year in the top 20% [1].

[1] https://www.aei.org/carpe-diem/evidence-shows-significant-in...

American mobility isn't bad because people can't make it to the top - you can, more so than almost anywhere in the world.

It's bad because a significant portion of people at the bottom stay stuck at the bottom their whole life. Compared to countries in Europe, this is a lot worse.
You could also have a log analysis system that displays logs in the browser and has an XSS vulnerability. So that bypass isn't unique to log4j.

You could probably write a more advanced check than just "{" that would let most JSON through while still blocking the attack.
My work group has adopted this as a rule. We do mostly R&D lab work rather than customer facing software development, and often a single computer is dedicated to a specific project. We want to make sure that the entire project can be replicated on another computer or hardware setup if needed.

This script is also worth reviewing with colleagues, to avoid pitfalls and also as a way to share better techniques.

Are you ... familiar with the "regional gothic" genre?
Thanks for sharing that.

This all resonates well with my own beliefs, so I’m sure I’m biased. But good free education for everyone, automation to free up the lower rungs of the workforce and increase productivity, social safety net to make people less concerned about layoffs and work fluctuations.

If only the wealthy supported these policies, they would be more wealthy!
No worries. It just reminded me of a conversation I had with a colleague when I was a Solaris admin...

He asked me what would happen if he put millions of very small files in a directory, I explained about filesystems and that each file would take up a 4k sector and space in the file, and that the behavior of the shell is undefined if there are more than 10,000 files in a directory as defined by POSIX...

I'm pretty sure he tried it anyways :-)
My childhood was a living hell because my parents don't want to work or do anything. I went through multiple evictions by the time I was 19, I consider myself exceptionally lucky that I was able to afford my first apartment at 19 years old because otherwise I don't think I'd still be here.

At the same time, I've met tons of adults who were in their '30s whose parents never just said no. Their parents never said you need to figure it out, get the hell out of my house. I got kicked out for the first time when I was 15, and then I went through an eviction about a year and a half later when I was 17, so I'm very well aware that every single day I need to work hard. I need to work so hard so I'll never go through an affection again.
Historically in the United States rich people have had a disproportionate influence on politics, distorting the effectiveness of our democracy.

There is no problem that people are wealthy, the problem is that the wealthy people do not share (accountability, wealth, etc.)

* wealthy here is used in a relative sense, not in an absolute one. Obviously it's good that people in general are wealthy absolutely.
Do you have an example of this? I’m intrigued
The accuracy of those databases is questionable as evidenced by $InsuranceCompany calling around to providers asking if they accept $InsuranceCompany. Of course, the better the insurance you have, the easier this problem is to solve because more providers are in-network.
Just like as with social media, if you're popular, you stand to make some money at the possible loss of your credibility...

But if you're a normal everyday Joe like me, it's like trading baseball cards... I don't know s*it about baseball, so I better not buy and trade them, and nothing I've got in my pocket has any value in that game. :\
Tp-link's Omada is as competitor in the price range, no?
“It depends…” is very true for almost all “which is faster for your workload?” questions.

Trivializing “try them all out effortlessly and settle on the most economical outcome” seems like the best response any competitor could pose.
> Why is it a bad thing that so many people are so wealthy?

To be pedantic, exactly 20% are that wealthy.

> The more people who belong to the so-wealthy-it's-hard-to-achieve group, the better.

So-wealthy-it's-hard-to-achieve can only be defined compared to people who can't achieve it. Medieval kings were in that category but lived worse that we do.
Can we get the editorialising out of the title (currently: "Predict civilization collapse with Python and World3 model").

Putting aside the issues with the data etc, this model isn't even attempting to predict civilization collapse. The closest it comes is an attempt to model future population which isn't obviously correlated with level of civilization.

The repo itself doesn't discuss "civilization" and it's unclear why the submitter thinks that is what it is doing.
> The other is that it's much easier to get out of the lower quintile in America than those same countries.

That's not what the first graph shows. What you say is true for "perceived" mobility, not for effective mobility. 33% of Americans stay in bottom quintile, much more than other countries.
> Sometimes, if they’re not particularly self-observant they’ll even believe the explanation they created is the reason they believe what they believe.

Most people seem to believe their post hoc explanations. Or at least most people wont admit that they are post hoc explanations, it is hard to know the difference since they come up with those post hoc explanations with the intention to manipulate you. That is also the reason it is so hard to change peoples minds in an argument, they wont bring up the real reasons they believe stuff they just bring up the post hoc tings. People seem to think that exposing your real reasoning makes you vulnerable. Like yeah, you get vulnerable to learning new stuff and changing your opinion, that isn't so bad.
I get where you are coming from, but I had a job a few years ago where this type of incident would be pretty devastating.

Some people’s employers would be aware of a pending arrest warrant within hours, likely before they are. People get immediately suspended without pay and need to hire an attorney, etc to figure out wtf is going on. Depending on what happened, it could take months to restore everything.

I manage risk for a living. If a consumer needs to be worried about felony arrest when renting a fricking car, something is very wrong. I would assert that if the company’s incompetence in implementing, administrating, and signing off on controls is such that customers are being arrested because they can’t figure out wth their rental cars are, the executives should have Sarbanes-Oxley exposure and potential criminal liability.
Why would surviving longer in old age be adaptive? The trade-off could be as simple as "you're mostly infertile, any children you do have will have higher rates of genetic disease, and being healthier means you're alive and active enough to compete with your kids and grandkids for food and mates".
Even beyond that, interpreting financial mobility is a tricky thing. For example, countries that have had high levels of meritocracy in the past may exhibit less financial mobility because people are already sorted into their merited economic brackets.
Must we project fear on a compay for responding to market developments? I feel like this is pretty normal behavior in any competitive landscape.

"adequate measurement to replace GDP with"

There seems to be annunderlying assimption that GDP is a good meaurement?

In UK we had reduction of life expectancy, wages, trade and production of physical goods while GDP grew. The only sources of GDP growth seem to be never-ending rise of house prices and inequality.
I think NFTs are fine. If you don't like the culture, don't buy in. My gripe is that the majority being sold are tasteless. I don't think NFTs have a bad name because of what they are, they have a bad name because they perfectly encapsulate our materialistic culture and have the corresponding societal malaise that comes with it. So if you want to cast a stone, I would look inward first, because we all play a part in how our culture mutates.
I was and still remain pretty confused. From an outsider's perspective, my thought was Intel had incredibly massive profit margins pre Ryzen. So my thought was all Intel has to do is slash margins and it can continue to sell chips. Is it not that simple? I mean there has to be some price point at which whatever Intel wants to sell is what customers want to buy, right? In the mid to long term, Intel continues to innovate and eventually will get to the smaller numbers 7nm, 5nm, ...

Is the margin that Intel has not as big as I had imagined? Is the idea of reduced margins so terrible that the money behind Intel (the stock market?) would rather let Intel die than accept a significantly lower rate of return?

I know I'm missing something here and I don't know what it is...
Maybe require these kind of decisions pass through a senior executive who if they make a wrong decision gets arrested and charged.
> Why is it a bad thing that so many people are that wealthy?

Much more than they’re willing to admit this controversy is about envy on that side. They cloak that envy in a veneer of concern for the poor and concern about the undue influence that money allows; both valid concerns. However, they then target policies that exacerbate poverty and make worse the absolute plight of the poor.

The other side is not willing to admit that for them it’s more than a bit about avarice. They hide that avarice in myths of the self made founder and myths about ethically conscious capitalism; both things you can find laudable examples of. However, many hide their privileged starting points and sell out immediately when profit conflicts with their morals.
The phrase "Family Values" is pretty vague, too. I'm sure if you asked almost everyone who is in a family whether they felt they had family values they'd say yes. I'm not really sure what someone means when they say an area has "family values". I don't think it means lack of divorce.

In the 90s, I remember "family values" having been used by politicians as a polite euphemism for the very narrow "straight, Christian, atomic" view of what a family should be.
Lonelyness seems to be a problem of social institutions rather than physical defficiency?

On some level, yes: we can generally distinguish human faces from chimpanzee, gorilla, and other primate faces. In general, though, our facial recognition has some quirks that make more fine-grained identification of relatedness hard. For example if I shave my beard it takes people a moment to recognize me, especially if I do not give them any clues. Also note that if we had a reliable way to identify degrees of relationship tribal marks would be far less common since tribal affinity could be detected automatically.

In general ape facial recognition is oriented toward familiarity, not relatedness. This makes sense given the patterns of social behavior in apes -- fission/fusion social groups, individuals leaving their childhood group and joining a new group as adults, etc. It also makes sense given that establishing trust (or degrees of trust) is one of the primary functions of facial recognition, and people often betray the trust of their close relatives. Familiarity is also more general, since we are often familiar with our close relatives but can also be familiar with others, and the complexity of ape social groups requires a more general kind of recognition.
Does this factor in with basketball, soccer (futbol), tennis, And many other sports?

Also, just my personal opinion. I’d rather make $10M over my 20s with some head trauma than have to slave away as a random cog employee. I know people can delude themselves into believing they aren’t. Some believe their work matters a lot. I doubt many would do the same work id they had millions in savings though.

This doesn’t make streamers any smarter to me. This posits that streamers would not be streamers if streaming entailed the same risk of head trauma as the NFL and hockey. I personally believe people would want the game and money so they’d still do it.
I did the same with my dotfiles setup, but it's for my personal preferences.
