I disagree that this is a case of games mimicking life, but do agree with the underlying thesis that it’s coming from outside of Value.

Personally I think that this is a capitalism thing: any company that finds a way to sell this type of luxury suddenly finds out why other people are doing it ($$$$$) and it’s very hard to turn down a constant stream of money.

> Average total employee compensation has significantly increased over the past 30 years once you factor in employer contributions to health insurance premiums.

Putting it that way is very misleading, though. The "total compensation" has increased only because health care costs have increased massively, and health insurance has increased to cover it. (Or vice versa; causality's tricky in a system like this, and there are definitely feedback loops.)
Is there any evidence that people are striving en masse to leave America? It seems like the vast majority of the world is trying to get in.

The US has the 5th highest median income in the world, so I don't think mass exodus is likely. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_income
Imagine if Tesla made you a deal. We'll give you $1000/year if you let us display ads on your center console. Leaving aside how dystopian that would be, can you imagine that even remotely passing muster from a safety perspective?

Yes, drivers have lots of distractions. Some of which are unavoidable, some of which are generally considered acceptable (conversations that don't require taking hands off the wheel or eyes materially off the road), and some of which like texting which are totally on them. But that doesn't mean we should add more features that are just crying out to distract drivers further--especially given that every passenger absolutely has their own screen to play games or watch videos in their pockets.

I've been thinking about how one could get around the Send + Sync requirements, it's a fascinating conundrum, from a language design standpoint.

If we didn't have the Send + Sync requirements, and multiple async functions are running concurrently on the same thread, and multiple of them locked the same RefCell, might that cause a panic?
No, that's where the bullshit is, not that nuance is bullshit. Nuance is great for certain things, like art. But, like art, there's a lot of room for interpretation, misunderstanding, impersonators, and even deceptive dishonesty.

Nuance requires everyone is on the same page. What looks like a masterwork to you, might look like something a child could paint to the teeming millions.
At my current job, we have services like "watcher" which watches some data and alerts someone about issues. Should we have called it "alerter"? Who knows, but if I worked at a bird related startup it might have been called Canary, which also makes sense to me. Who cares what we name things, just have good documentation so it's readily discoverable.

I still don't understand what some of our stuff does and it has common names that are descriptive, because documentation sucks. They could be called Widget and Whoozit for all I care, as long as there is documentation!
It seems to me the argument is less one of free speech than of monopoly abuse and playing an anticompetitive role in unfairly advantaging one set of producers over another. In this case (as with many), favouring those who already have some power over those with little or none.

That's an inherent problem in any power-sensitive hierarchy, and one that isn't likely to be readily resolved. That doesn't excuse YouTube for perpetrating the inequity.
There is nothing to get. You are assuming conservatives are engaging in good faith when they are not. They want to control the lives of people and impose violence on people who are against this. There are many contradictions and this is one of them. It is only a contradiction if you accept their premise.
Not really. I'm pretty far on the auth-left side of the political compass and have to really temper my opinions to be acceptable in a corporate environment.

The article spent surprisingly little time discussing what motivates innovation in the first place.

We were promised cold fusion, flying cars, and 2-day work weeks. Instead we got side-hustles driving other people around, delivering stuff for other people, and a faster mail-in catalog. The world's most advanced machine today isn't some science experiment to further our knowledge of the universe (although we certainly have those); no, the world's singular most advanced machine is the one that delivers advertisements to us because we're all too cheap to pay $70/yr for Facebook because none of us have enough money.

Sure, the machine behind Amazon is too complicated for any one person to know, but it's a glorified mail-in catalog. That's the crowning achievement of humanity in 2021? That or NFTs? I'm very grateful for my Prime membership but forgive me for wanting better than that.

I think a lot of the things that we take for granted today exist because people in the past were bored out of their minds and the only way to alleviate that boredom was to discover or create things.

When I turned on my Commodore 64 when I was 10 years old it did nothing. As a consequence I would spend all day manually typing in BASIC and Assembler source code from magazines. I quickly became an expert at BASIC and Assembler programming.

10 year-olds today flip a computer on and in a matter of minutes can play Minecraft, have access to unlimited videos on YouTube and an almost infinite array of boredom-busting games and other entertainment. Everyone in our society is impacted by this to varying degrees steering us from the role of creators to consumers.
I think the Federal Reserve/fiat system is at the heart of a lot of our problems.
Plus one for these. I found them a quicker and perhaps funner read than CLRS which was my undergrad textbook, and it covers a lot of interesting stuff. These are all a part of David Kopek's book project you can find here: https://classicproblems.com/
To be clear, what I said was that the real-world uses of crypto-as-a-medium-of-exchange are almost all tied to criminal activity.

I didn't say anything at all about crypto-as-a-store-of-value. Like any fiat currency, crypto has value iff people think it has value, no surprises there. At the moment, crypto's value is heavily tied to speculation about massive increases in its future value, which is not sustainable in the long term and is the biggest blocker for the medium-of-exchange usecase.

I have nothing against the idea of crypto - it's a good idea, especially with the stuff built on top of it around smart contracts, and the technology is neat - but until it stabilizes at predictable exchange rates it will never be used by the unsophisticated masses as a medium of exchange.

I like how Segdewick's book comes with working examples in java, which feels very approachable for a practitioner. In comparison, Cormen's book has lots of pseduo code examples where the indexing is 1 based. Cormen lays out the reasoning for this early in the book, how 1 based indexing is clearer for teaching, which sounds completely reasonable but is an additional hoop to jump through when trying to build working examples of the algorithms.
This is a fantastic summation, this put into words the exact feelings I have about it; which is a hard thing to do. It can be hard to vocalize things that are very internal and feeling-based, which is what branding association is
Delaware corp- action against absconding director violating shareholder rights
My partner incorporated a C-Corp in Delaware Apr 2019 and was supposed to get me added as Director from Sept 2019 but he fooled me by just getting me to sign stock purchase agreement and 83B election. He kept telling me that i am a director in the US company while i was working from India as employee of indian subsidiary of the US parent. Now he has absconded (he is CEO, Director, Secretary, Treasurer) from last 2-3 months, not picking my calls or responding to emails and not giving any update on the company financials, progress, operations. He has not given me my share vesting certificate too and has not done a single board meeting in last 2.5 yrs. He is also not giving me access to the company CPA for my audit. What are my rights to escalate to Delaware authorities as major shareholder. I was fooled as i am not US citizen. What action can i take as major shareholder for violation of my rights via Delaware authorities?

The Right is really about maintaining existing power structures, meaning property, businesses, and religion. The police oppose all of the things that would challenge those, including both petty crime, and non violent protests alike. Therefore, the police and the Right agree on most issues and on the response. Naturally if the police overreach in their authority, it is very likely to be ignored or given the benefit of all doubt.

A Perfect Atomic Logic Universe Theory
Kinda-sorta. My company has quite liberal sort of values and so do I, so I don't really feel like I have to hold my tongue in that respect. Although any of that kind of talk was usually reserved for socials/drinks/etc anyway.

But you know, work is work, what I do is intrinsically shaped by what my employer wants me to do and their goals so it's hard to say I'm spending that time "being myself" when the truth is I'm "being the company". I'm expected to be interested and engaged even when I'd much rather crawl back into bed. Even from a technical point of view I'd much rather be putting together prototypes using some language I'm barely familiar with than maintaining working codebases because that's more fun, but is obviously not that commercially useful.

At least with WFH I don't have to act some way I'm not feeling for 8 hours straight every working day, there are usually breaks in-between calls and I can code with a scowl, so that helps with the sense that I have ownership over myself during work hours.
I'd also argue that at least some percentage of them deserve jail time. I don't feel any sympathy for someone like Judith Miller nor would I shed a tear for James O'Keefe if he is ever brought to justice. I'm sure the overwhelming number of journalists in jail are in jail for offending a despot rather than committing a real crime, but not 100%.

I would actually wager that the biggest problem with this statistic is the meta problem of underreporting of jailed journalists. I would not be surprised if there are dozens or hundreds of journalists in jail in China that we just don't even know about.
The problem with academic publications is that they compliance based.

The peer-review process is not a scientific process but a publishing process and it serves as an unfortunate gate-keeper.

This gate-keeping has done so much damage to the scientific field that it's hard to see any way out of it in it's current form.

The biggest problem is that peer-review gives the paper a stamp as if it's been approved by some higher scientific standard. And that lead us to the very unhealthy idea of "follow the science" or "the science is settled"

The scientific method is a process of conjecture and criticism and is never ending. Peer review give a "blue checkmark" to papers they don't deserved and is especially problematic in the social sciences where up to 70% of research isn't reproducible.

Reproducibility should be the gold standard NOT peer-review which has it's own bias and cargo cult built in.

The pourpose of science it to create good explanations that are hard to vary. The purpose of scientific publications is to create prestige.

So kill peer reviews there are other mechanisms to ensure quality of research.
Don’t Throw It Away
I specifically mentioned "Smart wallets".

These wallets are actually smart contracts. One major feature of these contracts are that you can swap out the security keys if certain conditions are met. For example, you can generate 7 recovery tokens such that you only need 5 of the tokens to replace your security keys.

There is nothing stopping bank of america from creating a smart wallet and keeping the recovery tokens. This would allow them to reset your keys if you lose them.
The next disruptive innovation in work/life housing is technologies that enable remote work for many employees. This greatly reduces the need for dense housing and office space. All else being equal, the majority of people prefer to live in single family houses with some space and privacy rather than being crammed into skyscrapers. (Yes I understand that some prefer the skyscraper lifestyle but they're a minority.)
Skyscrapers are so difficult and expensive that corporations with tens of billions are the only plausible developers. With wfh and offshoring, commercial real estate is a difficult space to make profitable - nobody wants to go to congested city centers to work, so nobody wants to risk catering to a dwindling population when the margins on other locations and building styles make so much more sense.
the media operates globally because distribution is important & stories come from all over. outside of any sort of conspiracy around what the CIA could use the media to do... there are obvious operational benefits to working within the media or a similarly structured and distributed organization.

the real question isn't did the CIA stop using one type of organization or did they find ways to use other types of organizations. is the CIA doing the work? are they taking advantage of all of the different organizations that oddly have some sort of social protection similar to diplomats. whether it's NGOs allowed into a country that is just kind of hard to get into... or some freelance photographers tagging along with a news crew as they report on a country ahead of an invasion. maybe it's just the adjust professor teaching abroad as a way to monitor certain foreign CS students whose parents are high value assets and all of their labs and most definitely the final is just a way to get malicious code onto devices they're going to bring home.
Here's one blatantly noticeable difference that makes me more trustful of USDP than USDT even without being informed about Pax : total USDP in circulation ("market cap") went down nearly 50% when Bitcoin and cryptos crashed in May-June [0], as you would expect if they indeed offer an off-ramp to USD as people will be bailing out in downturns and if the coin is pegged to cash flows.

USDT? Up and up, it has not once significantly went down [1]. Do people truly believe that they are pegged to treasury and money flows to Bitfinex (despite knowing it is BS) and that they've never been in a significant out-flow period? (Edit: There is one I notice in October 2018 of also nearly 50% from $2.8B, much later than the actual 2017-18 crash. Doesn't take away from the peculiarity of the rest of the chart, but gotta point it out in fairness.)

Anyone with significant money in crypto should be terrified by these sketchy money printers (the irony) rather than complacent of. If and when something like Tether blows up, these are dozens of billions in liquidity that will go poof over night.

On June 27, 2021, Near posted a suicidal note on Twitter, disclosing the extent of the harassment they had faced from the website Kiwi Farms. Héctor Martín Cantero later announced he had confirmed Near's death with the police. One month later, their death was confirmed by their employer to USA Today.[12] Near was non-binary.[13][14][15][12]

I found this on wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higan_(emulator).

I believe the "he faked his death" theory was started by those same people on Kiwi Farms:

> Review articles, sometimes called surveys.

Is this field specific? I have read survey articles in math and biology, and was told by some of my profs that they use these articles as an introduction to a new field.

A quick Google search seems to show these exist in CS (along with tutorial papers), physics, and chemistry but I'm having a little difficulty finding statistics survey papers (survey methods come up instead).

Is the problem that there aren't enough of them or they are behind paywalls?
Schooling, whether private or public, is so universal that there's endless different cases and motivations. The area I grew up in this was definitely a contributing factor. A lot of families sent their children to the same private school, belonged to the same country club, summered in the same places, and attended the same religious organizations. They were all culture aspects that fit together for this particular community. This can quickly lead to people spending their lives only ever in one extremely privileged bubble.

It's really big. If you listen to Bembe or High Life music, you realise the whole 6 vs 4 rhythmic thing that is a fundamental crossrythm in Jazz and a big part of the Swing thing as well as being at the root of "Afro-Cuban" music is fundamentally West African. As well as Louis, Dizzy Gillespie, Coltrane, Mingus, Pharaoh Sanders, Sun Ra, Miles and many others explored this African connection a lot.

If you're interested in studying this further iirc Gunther Schuller discussed it in "Early Jazz" (one of the first books about Jazz History that actually isn't terrible from a musicological point of view) and Nicholas Cook also discusses it in "Music, Imagination and Culture" (which is an amazing book). Both of those will give you a "Western" perspective of the influence. I don't know a great reference I can recommend from an African point of view unfortunately.
Yeah, my initial reply in this thread states as much. I agree wholeheartedly that they should have rolled it out differently.

Hell, don't just cut off funding & cooperation for not participating, tax them also - as in if they don't want to participate, the need to pay fees to the FBI, perhaps the amounts related to the costs of FBI staff gathering the same data about them - i.e., either provide the data, or pay to have it provided for you.

That should get the attention of a few mayors, town/city councilpersons, if not just the police chiefs noticing the holes in their budget.

preventing homicides was never their job.
That's a good start.

What concerns me is the lack of attention everyday policing problems get. It's an "ignore it and it will go away problem" at best, or it's an "it only applies to the poor, stupid, addicted people who can't control themselves, and have to be treated like animals anyway" non-problem, based on dehumanizing the victims.

Somehow we've decided that we don't care about accountable policing, almost certainly because no-one realizes how big of a problem it is, and that happens for a wide variety of reasons (#1 is that if you complain about the police in the US, 95% chance you'll get ignored, and 4% you'll get blamed, 1% chance anyone takes it seriously, and 1 in a 1000 chance anything at all happens.
"Devalue" compared to what? If both China and the USA are printing money, then they could come out about even, or one could come out ahead of the other. Right now, the USA is printing more money than China, so the exchange rate is 6.38 RMB/USD, which is pretty strong by historic standards.
