> Or, what possible things could be causing people to eat more animal protein and live longer at the same time? I can't think of anything plausible.

That's a failure of imagination. A plausible example might be socioeconomic status (rich people live longer and also eat more expensive foods such as meat).

An environmental factor that reduces longevity and alters your sense of smell or taste in a way that affects your diet is semi-plausible (heavy metal poisoning such as cadmium can cause anosmia, which will affect food preferences), smaller but more widespread effects are possible.

Arguably we're already the beneficiaries/victims of mutations that make cooked food (that is more easily ingested and digested) taste better, but also make food subjected to combustion processes like smoking, searing, roasting, etc. (which can produce various carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as a side effect) smell and taste good.

A fanciful hypothesis would therefore be a mutation that directly increases longevity and also happens to make meat taste better (or vegetables taste worse, like they do to supertasters) and so affect dietary preferences.

Medians don’t tell the whole story. Incomes for high wage earners in the US have increased disproportionately compared to European countries, while wages for middle and low income groups stagnated in comparison.

The value of benefits isn’t takin into account. Health care is a huge driver of inequality in the US. Tens of millions of you get minimal health care, and even many on health care plans only qualify for a fraction of the treatments Europeans take for granted. Education is another example. Overall the US system is fine, but the funding model is appallingly uneven with the majority of public funds ending up going to schools in wealthy areas. The national funding and provision models in Europe are far more egalitarian and, as with health care, much more efficient.

Even so, there’s still a legitimate gap in the US favour here. That can’t be denied. Arguably what Europeans get in return is peace of mind and a society that has their back. They know that whatever happens to them, they will get decent health care, their kids will get a decent education, and they’re more likely to get fair treatment from their employer.
What is most notable about that event is that the US slaughtered a similar number of German prisoners immediately after, as a reprisal. Patton succeeded in covering it up until after he died.

On the Eastern front, it was usual to slaughter or just starve prisoners, on both sides. Furthermore, Stalin ordered that any Soviet soldier who had surrendered was guilty of desertion, and when "liberated" was sent to the GULag, or just executed if no transportation was convenient; German prisoners got the same treatment. Many, many thousands of Soviet (typically not Russian) prisoners fought tooth and nail to avoid being sent back East. Many committed suicide to avoid it. Tens of thousands of refugees who had fled West before the war were also "repatriated", and executed.

Similarly, anyone in occupied Soviet territory who had been press-ganged into working or fighting for Germany was presumed guilty of treason.

And, the Soviet NKVD had standing orders to shoot down whatever Soviet troops were at the back of any advance.

I've worked for a few companies where all staff had their salary increase by CPI each year, you could negotiate a better base rate sure, but the accepted principle in agreements was inline with inflation. Maybe it's just an Australian thing.

Whether you believe CPI is an accurate representation of cost for the average person is another matter altogether.
India hit the latitudinal jackpot. Good soil..monsoons and temperate. Peninsula with water on three sides. China isn’t so lucky. India is much younger demographics and gender divide is more even. Luckier than China is many ways even though they are close to each other wrt total population currently. India is getting greener every year Altho that would be because of increase in co2. We haven’t understood climate change fully yet. India can halve it’s population in 80-100 something years and still be a formidable world power to reckon.

It is important tho that everyone procreate and have at least 1/2 surviving child. Large families by individuals shouldnt be incentivized. Human beings are wonderful and we must maintain genetic diversity as an insurance against extinction or genetic congenital vulnerabilities. Also important to preserve genetic material and work on longevity and medical breakthroughs. I wonder how long our generation can expect our lifespan to be and if we can eradicate diseases in our lifetimes.

India has traditional family structures like multi generational families or joint families. These are helpful tools to mitigate the (socio-economic-cultural)pitfalls of too many and too small nuclear families…if india can work on halving or even bring down population to 350-500 million in a balanced manner demographically(age wise and gender wise), the future is bright.

I hope nothing is coercive or manipulative ..punitive or incentivizing to have or not have children.. people should have children because they want the best for their progeny and in the best interests of their next generation.

Perhaps once stabilized, we can increase children per person but that could be 150-250 years from now. It’s key not to drop the ball now. It’s a balance between resource management and population is a numbers game.

Let’s not forget our automated future which might eliminate work. Or longevity/anti ageing breakthroughs. Who knows what the future holds but in my imagination it’s always an utopia.

Substack is good, and certainly much better than Medium! But I think it serves a different purpose, since it lets content creators monetize their audience rather than managing P2P user interaction like most social media.

I'm not sure where the P2P interactions will go - it's possible that they stay centralized on the major platforms of today, or we see a return to smaller forums as we had back in the late 90s and early 2000s.

I don’t believe it’s possible to put every transaction on chain (or at least the main chain) while retaining the level of decentralization that makes cryptocurrencies interesting in the first place.

Most people believe a layered approach is necessary, and indeed, many are building L2 solutions on Bitcoin (Lightning) and other cryptocurrencies.

I think Bitcoin can and should be L1.
Also, your cherry picked date range has a complex story behind it. It’s a story of falling inequality, not rising inequality. Chinese workers (among others) ate our lunch…by climbing out of abject poverty. They’ve become much more competitive and have seen their real wages skyrocket. If semi-skilled American workers were making $23/hr and equivalent Chinese workers were making $.23/hr (idk making something up), and now American workers are still making the same but Chinese workers are making $12/hr, is that a bad outcome?

What ruined memes for me:

This is the "Covid is fake" social media posts of people who died from Covid. Mostly, these are reposts of meme tropes but with a misinformed/paranoid Covid slant.

I can't help but wonder about the people who make these memes. Obviously, not all are Russian agents.. but some probably are.
> I claim any semantics which resulted in `11` would be extremely confusing, because it would imply the following also resulting in `11`, which is obvious nonsense:

> y = 10;
> Module[{y}, 1+y]

Yes that is precisely the point: because of Mathematicas weird evaluation model, you cannot have ordinary lexical scope as in every other programming language, but the only sensible thing to do is to rename variables under the hood. It is then very easy to leak those renamed variables accidentally in the global scope where you cannot do anything useful with them, because the symbols `y` in the global scope and in the subscope are different.

Another point that the example was meant to illustrate is that once you assign some value to a variable, you can no longer do symbolic manipulation with it (note that in the example, we have replaced 1 by 10 in the end).
I think all the icons looked great, with minor changes, until Win10's new "Settings" --- in which it looks like they just decided to throw away decades of careful design and replace them with dumbed-down flat and bland ones. All the more infuriating that new Settings is noticeably less responsive and at the same time less functional.

Interesting, as a manager I encourage my team to apply and bring me other offers. I will even help with some minor prep. If they come to me with a better offer I’ll take it to my leadership and show their worth.

If they fail, they know I cared enough to assist and trust me and are happy for their job. If they succeed they get a raise, but are more likely to stay and work harder knowing they can trust me and can collaborate.

I don’t see the downside in engaging in this manner.

That's not a UTF-8 issue. That's Unicode. And macOS is not incorrect here.

> So let's say you were looking up something based on the string, it was not there.

What this tells me is you're storing unicode text in a database without using unicode-aware string comparisons. This means that regardless of macOS, you could run into this issue just by having someone submit text in a manner that uses a different normalization form than whatever you've been using, your lookup will fail.

And it's not just NFC vs NFD. There's also NFKC and NFKD, which are the compatibility forms. For example, if I type ﬁ (U+FB01 LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FI), that has the same NFC and NFD forms, but in NFKC and NFKD it becomes fi.

> This article helped: https://medium.com/@sthadewald/the-utf-8-hell-of-mac-osx-fee...

That article flips NFC and NFD.

> The resolution for now has been using String.Prototype.normalize() with some tricks.

Please fix your database to use a proper unicode-aware comparison instead. I don't know what database you're using but this may involve simply telling it what the text encoding of the column is. This is especially true when you start thinking about compatibility normalization (i.e. NFKC/NFKD). I believe the compatibility forms are generally appropriate for string comparisons (e.g. if someone searches for "ﬁ" they should get results for "fi"; try it out in your browser's search field right now if you like) but you certainly don't want to store your text that way. And since you're presumably relying your database to do the lookup for you, this means you need your database to be unicode-aware, otherwise you have no choice but to store the compatibility canonicalization form in order to get search to be correct.

You don't seem to understand memes.

It's not about the etymology or the repeatition and spread.

That's just where the name comes from.

But once memes got into an established culture of its own, with specific norms, practices, designs, and so on, you can make a meme even if it gets no views and is not shared with nobody ever.

If it catches on it's a viral meme.

But even if it doesn't catch on (or even if it stays on the creators hard drive forever), such a creation can fully have a meme format, form, and content and thus be a meme in that (duck-typing) sense.

Don't get too caught on the initial Dawkins-derived descriptions of memes by the popular press, that focused on the viral aspect. That was important to make memes a cultural force, and to contribute to aspects of it (self-reference, folk re-workings, and so on). But virality is not the be-all end-all ever since there's a huge established meme legacy and practice.

Same how you can make "pop music" (music that follows the form, production, values etc of pop song) even if it's not popular, and never breaks into the top-200, or even if nobody ever hears it except you and your DAW.

What's it like to star in a flop?
That's a good question with a lot of observations that could be made...

I'd say that out of concern for the (economic) consequences of harmful side effects, the choice not to get the jab is de-facto forcefully made for the stateless by the manufacturers + state. I wouldn't call this protection. As a stateless, your legal freedom (which I think ought to be inalienable) to get a particular medical product you might want is not protected because protection of the corporate manufacturer's bottom line has priority.

The manufacturers are carefully avoiding the one thing they _don't_ want which would be indemnifying individual sufferers of side effects from their bottom line. They do this by either having the people effectively indemnify themselves by paying them from their own people's money through the government, or by refusing to give it to anyone not indemnified this way. Basically, the manufacturers want riskless profit for rolling this product out, one way or another. The manufacturers will do what it takes to exercise a privilege they think ought to be inalienable, that being to help themselves our collective wealth so long as we use their product, whatever it is.

In .NET I do it om the binaries, I reflect over the assemblies and list the dependencies.

In the same run one can also validate that there are no incompatible transitive dependencies.

Within assemblies (between namespaces) is much harder unfortunately. That means assemblies have to be made to make module boundaries obvious, even though it’s a bit of an antipattern. There are tools such as nsdepcop that watch namespace dependencies, but it’s brittle and a lot of work.

The principle of inflation is to dynamically adjust:

- Available products in the world,

- Number of people who can afford them.

With Covid, we didn’t produce for 2 months in 2020 and we’ve produced slower in 2021. And all governments distributed free money. So, in theory there is clearly not enough goods produced for everyone in the world. Prices should rise dynamically until 10% fewer people can afford them than in 2019.

Where are the people who can’t afford buying things? There should be a diminution of 10% global consumption, where is it? Where are the people whose company won’t be able to match inflation, even if they unionize?
Unions are mainly good in monopolies and government companies which sucks money out of trapped tax payers. It is not so good when it is a private fast paced company that need to compete against the world and where the employees themselves need to compete against people from all over the world. A software company is not a port.

I honestly believe its unlikely that you have an employee for, say, 5 years, then they come to talk to you without getting any counter-offers because they've gotten an average raise of 2% per year, have developed skills, and have market value of 25% greater than their current salary, and you say "ok, I'll give you a 25% raise."

In other words, unless you can contradict me with a straight face, you're basically just saying you underpay as long as you can get away with it and nothing can stop or change that.
Their peers if they're nice enough will let everyone know "Don't ever show up with an offer or you'll be fired." So it happens rarely if at all.
