It seems unlikely that New York is a haven for remote workers; it’s a place with high pay and correspondingly high income. I think NY laws won’t have a substantial impact on remote-work job postings.
Nuclear Energy.

Over the course of only 10 years, France made 80% of their electricity Nuclear.

Have we become so much less competent that we, every modern nation, couldn't do it again?

Even faster/cheaper/safely?

Of course we could, if we really wanted to.

One of the primary issues with getting nuclear going is ... the Greens.

The Greens are a giant obstacle to Nuclear, an energy source which could, if applied appropriately and assertively, wipe out the C02 crisis.

The math is already there, we're literally ignoring it in our discussions.

"The World Is On Fire" but nobody is really talking about it?

Is this a giant existential crisis then 'manufactured' in a kind of systematic way?
Depending on the country they cannot, in mine there are regulations, where they cant/wont move my number without my fingerprint verification and otp verification from an existing device
It sounds good, but I don't think it's that clear. You're actually introducing greater dislocations into remote markets by hiring at a unified standard across the board.

Suppose the average wage somewhere is $10K/year, and you hire a developer at $100K/year there. I would argue that it might be more beneficial in aggregate both to the remote community and to your company to hire two developers at $50K/year from the same place (assuming those are market clearing prices), both because of the effect on the remote consumption (the two people will consume more than one most likely), and the fact that you're spreading out the economic opportunity in the remote area that you are hiring in (now there are two developers who are well paid relative to the median versus only one - and it's also more likely to spur further investment into development in general).
First find out why it is slow. If you are not aware of the reason and also the performance got worse, go for any APM solutions that suits your requirement. Atatus has been doing a great job in monitoring with real time insights lately.
I do not recall any major Israeli news outlets obviously cherry-picking facts to present to our 7 million Jewish citizens. Other than Haaretz, which would be presenting events in a fashion designed to embarrass us - quite the opposite of your claim.

However, examples abound of international news agencies presenting cherry-picked facts to disparage Israel in international news.

> John will ask why Sandy is making more. The truth is that Sandy is more productive

These secret decisions are not commonly rational like that. Maybe Sandy keeps quiet when they know the boss is wrong and leaves it to John to speak up and stop the whole thing going over the cliff edge.
Without an application what is the difference between a notification and a text message/iMessage?

I can see spammers creating schemes to obtain peoples notification URL/address and bombarding them with multimedia popup ads with no ability for the user to block them.

Tying notifications to apps at least means that there is some audit trail and ability for users to stop receiving notifications and ultimately for the developer/sender to be removed entirely.
Both kids in a pair play according to "correct" rules. Just different.

So the possible outcomes are:

- observer forces his version of rules

- observer fail to force his version of rules

- player is forced to abandon the game

- observer is forced to abandon the game

- both observer and player voluntary decide to abandon the game

- both figure out they were given different "correct" set of rules, so they pick one of the sets or come up with a new one
I actually support nuclear, oddly enough. And I'm not arguing anything out of hand. I would posit that the only rational position to take, when the situation has relentlessly worsened over generations, is to be suspicious of large scale environmental interference.

It genuinely requires religious faith to believe that geo-engineering would be successful without significant consequences.

You position myself and others taking my position as religious zealots, but tell me: why is it so upsetting to you that i might question technology's ability to save us? And why would it upset you so much, that i might not consider humanity in its current state, to be worth saving if it meant risking the global ecosystem?

Humanism is a sick cult, and technologism even more so. Both will destroy us and the planet we live on.
So many people here don’t get how capitalistic systems work. Legislation is the only way you’ll get better treatment for the drivers. Dogfooding makes sense but not at this scale. You’re just wasting time. Also - I think many people here are assuming you will do this and take time off your regular tasks. This is where you’re wrong. This is in addition to regular tasks. So either work faster on what you have already or add more hours to your work week which is already hellish. Doordash isn’t known for its lovely WLB. It’s not just the dashers who have to work hard.
Right. The 32 bit emulation is only really useful to CrossOver.
In theory this would also influence/pressure material research to find solutions that are easier to recycle and not cheap/effective. Something that can last 1 year and be degraded easily in basic components to be reused (wink wink: nature).
If you can get a job for $250K, it accomplished not getting locked in to a local optimum and paying the opportunity cost for the difference.
This reads as mildly offensive. It isn't that people don't know of the myriad of "whats and whys". It's that they're resigned to not having any say in the matter. It makes me wonder if they applied their own framework to this particular problem.
In 2000 I lived in Los Angeles in an air conditioned house (power bill >$100/month), drove to work every day consuming at least three gallons of gas, the computers I worked on consumed ~100-200 watts, and all my lights were incandescent.

In 2019 I lived in Bangkok in a (very-lightly) air conditioned apartment (power bill $15/month), walked to work, the computer I worked on consumed maybe 60 watts, and all my lights were LED.

I've since moved to Seattle and the power bill has gone back up, but I'm working remotely on another ~60 watt computer, and the next will be ~20 watts. The trend is in the right direction.
... and it is an nightmare...

The web is centralized as it never was before. We have to constantly (every 3 months) renew letsencrypt certificates. They do breaking changes to the tools and protocols to do that with the same periodicity. Now you need this shitty snap to do that. And private networks devices are still an unsolved problem no one talk about...
If autoimmune disease can be prevented/cured by infection with symbiotic helminths and protists, why don't we treat people with these conditions by giving them (controlled) infections ?

In Europe, people typically measure their income in post-tax (net) amount. While in the U.S. it is usually measured in pre-tax (gross) amount.

It is a bit misleading because salaries measured in pre-tax $ that are posted on sites like levels.fyi, can seem extremely high. However, if you live in California, where state tax is very high, your total taxes may be close to 40% of what you make, so a person making $300K ends up bringing in only $180K, which is generally higher than Europe but not significantly.
I just watched the 4 Ip Man kung fu movies on Netflix: #1 is Chinese versus evil Japanese occupiers, #2 is Chinese versus evil Brits (Hong Kong occupiers), and #4 is Chinese versus evil Americans (Chinese immigrants in US).

I really enjoyed the depictions of foreigners from the Chinese POV, since their clichés are still visible, even as a Western viewer.
If you tell someone that they’re in the bottom of a 70-80 band, they will be more offended than if you just offered them 70. This is not a good way to start a working relationship.

I have personally seen people with literally no domain relevant experience (they’d worked in retail & service businesses) say that they expect to be in the top half of the salary range of a mid-level engineering role posting.
As much as I love Apple products, Siri is my least favorite.

I just can't fathom why they can't get Siri right after all these years. She will just respond to something completely irrelevant once in a while, presumably because it sounded like a command issued to her.

The toddler comparison is spot on. Occasionally it's like she's busy doing something else (clearly MUCH more important,.. maybe she's mining bitcoin in the cloud?), instead of listening to my requests.

That being said, I still use Siri for things when I have my hands full. She can be a lifesaver.
I actually read some Bond novels. IMHO the series detoriates rather quickly. After two books Fleming's writing and yarn spinning is a far cry from Casino Royal. Casino Royal is very different from any of the movies and worth a read.
Why wouldn't they? If you assume they're looking for value in exchange for money, they wouldn't care at all how great the deal is for the employee.

Location-dependent pay could go side-by-side with wealth-dependent pay. You already have a trust-fund and no college-debt? You only get half what others are making for the same work.
> There are tons of registrars

But those registrars only exist at the discretion of a single centralized authority (ICANN)

It doesn’t matter which registrar you use, ICANN can always take away your domain name and give it to someone else, no laws apply to protect your domain it is all subject to ICANN and their decision. They have taken away 10’s of registered thousands of domain names.

Alternatively there is no centralized authority that can take away a decentralized domain name such as ENS.

Half measures just create even more headaches down the road. Migrating to 64 bit time_t basically solves the problem once and for all. If you're going to make a change, make it the last change you'll ever need.

I'm also in favour of adopting IPv6 ASAP, but so far that has been a much harder sell.
Old rural houses where I'm from were basically a huge kitchen/dinning room build around this kind of a stove + the rest of the house. The oven heats water in pipes going through the masonry and they heat the rest of the house through radiators. And then you also use that water for bathing.

So you cook in the evening so that you have hot water for bathing before going to sleep and the house is warm through the night.

It also has warm shelves near the ceiling used for drying clothes/shoes/fruits/mushrooms.

Very efficient, but it means the whole house is build around it.
Yeah, the ultimate fix to that are prototype (or sandbox, or whatever you want to call them) environments.

Every branch has its own full stack of services and dependencies dedicated to it; and it all gets torn down the moment the branch disappears.
It's true pub sub. They both get the message. It's a feature, not a bug ;-)
Are you the author of https://herbie.uwplse.org/? That's pretty cool!

Anyway floating point numerical stability is a different issue: some expressions produce results with less precision than other, different expressions, even though they should be the same thing algebraically (if we were dealing with real numbers or at least rational numbers). The issue here is that FP has limited precision, and it makes it lose some algebraic properties like associativity; and this limited precision sometimes lead to catastrophic cancellation and other problems that sharply reduce the precision (this doesn't happen if you use something with arbitrary precision like rational numbers).

Floating point determinism on the other hand is about always giving you the same result when running the same code (even if you happen to run in a different machine; and that's sometimes challenging because some architectures may not support features like subnormal numbers). It's okay if different code gives different results as far as determinism is concerned.
Did he realize that NATO did not invade these countries, like Russia did to Georgia and Ukraine, and NATO membership is the choice of its people?

Say what you will about events that have happened since then. But the basic fact is, the Russians were explicitly promised there would be no NATO expansion in the former Warsaw Pact countries (let alone in the former Soviet republics) all throughout the German Unification talks. Though it is virtually absent from the current public discussion, information on this is very easy to find, should you feel inspired to do so.

> Sure. And the ABI needs to break sometime before 2038.

That really highlights the benefit of the BSD model, where the OS, libc and all the base packages are shipped as a complete system. OpenBSD switch to 64 bit time_t on all supported platforms back in 2014. We all talked about Y2038 back then, and most agreed that something should be now as quickly as possible. Then the world just sort of forgot. I mean it is solved, but if you're a new developer, you might not know that you need to do something special.

The GNU and Linux world is really good at not breaking ABI compatibility and mostly that's great, but in this case it's a problem and pushing it much further is going to be a problem. It's also going to be weird if the default never change, then we just have a C library that that just keep producing defective programs, unless you add certain flags.
If you think things look bad now, whatever is rebuilt in the aftermath of another crash will make the present look like a utopia.

That thing you're talking about with your parents is exactly how I behave. I did have a big problem with admitting, or rather realizing, many things about myself, even while other people were telling them to me. I didn't realize until this year that I am incompetent as a parent. My oldest kid is 9. Watching her grow up and watching the consequences of my own negative influence on her is what led to realization.

I understand that POV, but if you're on the cheapest possible vcpus, gaining a difficult-to-acquire deep understanding of how overcommitted they are and how sporadically unusable it is as a platform is not worth anything.

Sure it's the wrong move to blow $2K/mo on some Xeon, but it's not the wrong move to spend $30 on bracketing the extent of the platform's problems.
But implementing that algorithm as a DFA yields an efficient construction that has O(N) worst case time complexity.

I think it is worth saying that this is possible because finite state automata have a set of useful, well-understood operations, like concatenation, union, intersection, negation, kleene closure, determinization, and minimization. This makes it possible to generate complex automata from basic building blocks and to make them deterministic and minimal.
This is such a beautifully made tool, heck, ive used figma jamboards before, and this is wayyyyy more intuitive and fun to use then that !,

Just as a tiny nitpick: the German word "Kachelofen" does not translate to "oven stove", but to "tile oven" - a term mentioned at the beginning of the same paragraph.
Ground source heat pumps with shallow heat collection coils extract heat stored by the sun during the previous warm season.

With deeper boreholes you're extracting heat from radioactivity decay.

In both cases the rate at which you can extract that heat depends in the heat transfer rate in the ground around the coils/boreholes.
The fact that its day-to-day application it is “legacy” is probably a good thing, as reinforced concrete is already “legacy” in tha sense or stailess steel.

Help me here. All databases are negative cashflow. They only 'cost', don't generate 'revenue' by themselves. This is true of ACH mechanism to transfer funds from one bank account to another. Does that make USD negative cashflow? Does the cost of maintaining this ACH system affect the price of USD v/s GBP?

The value provided by a database such as BTC is that it provides a record of 'who owns what at what point of time in history'. I can argue separately about why the 'immutability' of this database itself is a value created by Bitcoin, for which holders can be willing to pay premium for.

Miners earn profit if Operating Costs > $ value of (Transaction Fees + BTC mined). Over a long enough timeline, Fees + BTC mined will ~~ operating costs of the rig. If not, more miners will continue to see economic opportunity, and keep joining the miner pool till that equation is balanced.

The other source of BTC value going up need not be more demand for it, let's say over next 12 months. The ~6% inflation could show up there too.

What am I missing?

Noise insulation in the airplane exists because it tries to shield passengers from the aircraft noise, which is a consequence of modern airplane design. Following the same logic, shall we call it bullshit insulation?

This line of thought assumes three bold ideas:

1. that existing model is bad
2. that alternative model for airline (or any other industry) exists
3. that alternative model won’t suffer from similar issues

I will now quote Graeber to see what kind of arguments he uses to support these three ideas in his original infamous essay[1].

Re. 1

— author uses anecdotal evidence from friends who consider their jobs ‘pointless’: (talking about a friend) “*Now he's a corporate lawyer working in a prominent New York firm. He was the first to admit that his job was utterly meaningless, contributed nothing to the world, and, in his own estimation, should not really exist.*”
- author extrapolates this anecdote to other fields and people: “*it shows that most people in these jobs are ultimately aware of it. In fact, I'm not sure I've ever met a corporate lawyer who didn't think their job was bullshit*”
- after establishing negative nature of these jobs on this purely anecdotal basis, author then proceeds to blame capitalism for creating them: “*<…> making up pointless jobs just for the sake of keeping us all working. And here, precisely, lies the mystery. In capitalism, this is precisely what is not supposed to happen*”
— he concludes that “*the ruling class has figured out that a happy and productive population with free time on their hands is a mortal danger.*”

Re. 2 and 3:

- author provides a hypothesis for the root cause of the issue: “*if 1% of the population controls most of the disposable wealth, what we call ‘the market’ reflects what they think is useful or important, not anybody else*“

Unfortunately, no solution is discussed at all. Neither there is a validation for this hypothesis to be found anywhere.

I’m sorry, but this line of logic cannot be refuted. Simply because there is no logic, there is an emotionally charged narrative supported by anecdotes and directed at very broad and abstract problem (“ruling class”), with no solution provided by author. Anarchism is assumed to be a solution, but I hope at this point it should be obvious, with the level of problem analysis involved, we could also use a magic wand.

I applied for term life insurance at 3 or 4 life insurance companies, and they all allowed you to reduce the benefit amount a few times over the term.

Not every year, but they said it was no problem if you wanted to halve the benefit halfway through or even a second time after that (and they would lower the premiums commensurately of course).

You're conflating the pedantic aspects of an aspect of cultural epiteths such as 'when people were born', with the materiality of their impact.

All of the things I've mentioned 'came of age' during the Baby Boomer era - those are cultural epithets of their generation - not previous generations.

It doesn't matter when Malcom X was born - he was a figure of the 1960's 'massive shift in social justice' which is a definitive characteristic of the Baby Boomer generation - the were the one's out on the streets.

'Divorce' did not start happening in a material way until that time. Baby Boomers were the first generation to start to experience it as children - and then - were the first generation to do it themselves at rates never seen in history.

Baby Boomers were the first generation to embrace Birth Control as socially normative. Sex without babies.

Both of those things alone - Divorce and Birth Control - those are enough to make a very unique generation in history, but the Boomers had so much more.

You know the song 'The Age of Aquarius'? Well, they were not wrong, it was the dawn of a new age.

I recently saw some film footage from Manchester, 1907, with what seemed to be all sorts of happy children in the streets, though most of them were literally homeless. Children. All over the streets. Maybe it's a fact we are 'aware of' but seeing it live is visceral and shocking. If Gen X/Y/Z could be exposed to those things that are almost within living memory, I think they would have a different view of themselves. Gen X grandparents could tell them about a lot of that. Fewer Millennials and almost none for Gen Z.
