I don't see any of these companies flat-out failing ever, but it does seem like they've gone the way of IBM. In the Fortune 500 but not quite as innovative as they were at their peak.

I feel like every generation has had their list of companies to be "lifers" at. There was Bell Labs, HP, IBM in a past generation. Then there was Google and Apple in a newer generation. Then there was Netflix, Facebook, AWS, etc. Right now, there are none! Who will start the next one, and avoid it becoming one from my list?
I actually don't mind using/learning pronouns. But I'm a male, I identify as male, and I present as male well enough that no one has misgendered me in 32 years. Something about listing my pronouns feels not only silly, but distinctly wrong in light of that.
Are there any "major" assembly languages, or are they just used as needed for the platform?
This is so cool! Thank you!

> Sure, but that wouldn't prove you were from the future any more than it proved that Euclid was from the future.

By that standard it doesn't seem like any scientific or technological knowledge could prove you're from the future, either.

The only way to show you're from the future that can't also be explained by being from the present and having great knowledge/intelligence is to predict the unpredictable. But, you've narrowed the time constraint (a few weeks) and widened the range (a few years) so that predicting the immediate and unknowable isn't an option. Seems to be what you're going for also. So, I don't think you're left with anything.
The basic issue is that to be news, there has to be a conflict to tell the story about. Even if the conflict is fabricated expectations vs. some mundane reality, that conflict is the necessary condition for a story to be news.

The lens of victim/oppressor theory can apply to literally anything, and so with that tool for manufacturing the necessary ingredient of universal conflict, the news becomes anything they want it to be. It's stupid, but it works. Most of the people who use that technique even believe it, and the one rule they're taught is if you protect the narrative, the narrative protects you. I've heard reporters ask what all this concern about fake news was because they have all these objective facts, and it never landed for them that it's fake because the necessary conflict that drives the story was wholely fabricated by ideology.

I worked in print media as a freelancer just over a decade ago and knew a lot of other writers and editors, and even then CBC was seen as the partisan state organ. You have to remember that the mandate of the CBC is to create a federal narrative to hold a vast and sparsely populated country together with a coherent national identity. News is only one of its myriad projects, and it's not engaged in a mission of discovery.

What changed is milennials graduated from campuses that had been compromised by what is objectively a mass hysteria created by their professors - who themselves had previously graduated in the 90s during the first wave of what they called "political correctness," at the time, and who in turn were taught by radical boomer professors who had been indoctrinated with standard revolutionary playbooks, mesmerized by French postmodernists like Foucault and Baudrillard, and you can trace a lot of its intellectual roots back to things like the SCUM Manifesto, Weathermen, Black Panther Party, Situationists, and other cold war era soviet political projects.

No single thing happened so much as the state of the CBC is the effect of milennials being educated by two generations of carefully trained marxists to become a revolutionary corps of true believers. The rest of government is rotted through with that stuff as well. The center won't hold, and I really don't see the country intact in 15-20 years because the people running it are to weak and insincere to provide legitimacy.

5 - 10 gallons per day?? Are you including washing and other non-drinking usage? Because drinking more than 2 gallons of water a day, even in high, dry heat with physical exertion, is extremely difficult. I've done a good amount of desert labor and a gallon/day is about right for drinking, even at 100+ degrees.
For sure - my example is just a very basic one to show how easily most industries can slide into a hole that takes time to dig out of even under good conditions. The reality is even more complex.

> Monopoly is a vastly over simplified model that doesn't consider much of modern economics. Interestingly, it was actually invented to demonstrate to people how evil capitalism is[2].

Close. Monopoly was created by Lizzie Magie, a Georgist, and its purpose was to demonstrate how evil land ownership by monopolies/rent seekers is and to advocate for a Land Value Tax [1]. Many of the forces you describe that apply to other areas in economics do not apply to land. You cannot create new land, after all.

Cartels violate antitrust laws. Labor unions in particular have an antitrust exception. But both of them are solving the problem from the wrong end.

The question isn't how to negotiate with an existing monopolist that can screw you over with monopoly power, it's how to break their monopoly. "Get your own monopoly" not only doesn't fix it, it just makes it worse for everybody else. Congratulations, humans who eat food, there are now two monopolies in your supply chain.
Even newer shows often have appalling picture quality on streaming services. Dark scenes especially—I watched Mr Robot on Prime Video a few months ago and the blocking and compression artefacts in dark scenes (which, if you’ve never seen the show, is a lot of them) were unbelievable. I’ve seen 700MB DVD rips with better handling.
Why don't I recognize any of the titles? Do you have to be obscure to get 100%?

Vow | Smart problem solvers in a variety of roles | Full-time | Remote + Local (Sydney, Australia)

At Vow, we're growing meat that's better than the meat we eat today. While we deeply care about the environmental & ethical implications of transitioning from industrial animal agriculture, we also think the only way to get mass adoption of alternatives is if we can create something people will selfishly want for taste / nutrition / cost / other selfish reasons - think Tesla's approach to electric cars (record beating acceleration etc) or adoption of solar (massive adoption once cheaper than coal).

We have a long list of open roles (engineering to operations and more), but are also just looking for passionate, hard working problem solvers who don't fit a role. DM me if that describes you. If you see a role that fits, apply directly at https://www.vowfood.com/careers

We have both remote + local team members and make remote work for as many roles as we possibly can.

I do something similar but a little more manual that your solution. I `git commit -am "WIP"` to save random, odd-ball intermediate working states. Occasionally the commits get real messages but I try not to let it interrupt the flow.

Then when I'm ready to commit or cut PRs, I just squash them all down if it's trivial. If it's a bigger change: I push things to a backup branch, `git branch Branch-BK`, reset to a base commit, and use difftools to pull over the subset of changes I want and commit them repeatedly until there's no diff left.

>What makes you think corporations, think tanks, and power centers are aligned with identity politics?

Their (coporations and power centers) lip service towards those, their funding and support, establishment of departments and roles devoted to it, use in advertisements, mobilisation of corporate policies and law to stiffle any dissidents, constant signalling, and so on.

>But, I also don't get why we can't allow other people to express their own valid experience without trying to shout them down.

Isn't this the exact problem with modern identity politics? Shouting people down and monopolizing the discourse (usually by privileged class-wise minority, and mostly white at that) with rage-bait and conformity signaling.

I hope they put some money towards their assisted cruise control (TSS). It’s downright scary. My 2021 RAV4 is all over the road when it’s using lane “keeping”.

All these horrible articles about Tesla self driving… the real problem is other car manufacturers putting their poorly implemented assisted driving in their cars. Toyota “safety sense” is worse than any other I’ve tried.
> however in the many companies I've worked in the last 25 years that has almost never been the case

The question shouldn't be about what is desired but what does the compensation warrant?

If employers truly want something done they are welcome to put it in the job responsibilities and prospective employees can decide whether the offered comp is worth it; essentially the market will sort things out.

Employers would ideally desire someone that does everything and takes no salary at all but the market thankfully prevents that from being viable. The next best thing is to burn employee goodwill by expecting them to do more "in the spirit" which is what's currently happening, and this goodwill is now starting to run out considering threads like this are appearing.

> As a hiring manager I would likely feel you had betrayed my trust, and had taken the place of someone who could have contributed more.

If you want something done why not just put it all in the job description? This is in jest, as we obviously both know why. I'm not faulting you from playing the game to your advantage, but I also can't fault the other side from playing the same game to their advantage.
I wonder if it would be possible to have a big filter button “commercial” or “non-profit” or something along those lines. So you get results that are not deemed commercial or are.

Don’t know how hard it would be to know which is which. Maybe non-commercial : don’t run ads, don’t sell a product or service and provide information only.

They still don't have a way to turn off auto play for the next episode. That's a basic feature and they're missing it.
Well I have done enough "research" to tell the difference between an intestinal worm and a virus.
I'd say in terms of relevancy, either facebook or netflix:

- Netflix already feels like an outlier in that list because they're not as technically focused as any of the other ones listed. They feel more like a media company these days, not a tech company, and as time goes on there's less and less differentiating them from any other media company/streaming service.

- If Metaverse doesn't pan out for them, I don't see either FB or Insta having a revival in popularity in the coming years. The only family I have still under 20 have deleted or abandoned FB, and I don't see the younger generation bothering with the "keep up with family" social network, and Insta keeps getting its lunch eaten with all its competitors. It feels like Insta is going to get a competitor at some point that will take its main offering (photographic status updates, basically) and then it'll suffer the same fate of irrelevancy.

True. I’m wondering though if he hasn’t given up on the idea. It’s been ten years. Maybe he doesn’t believe anymore that a human could do better, even if given 15 minutes of time?

If such a demand exists, should we not be seeing an active “secondary marketplace” for people offering to do 15-minute human meta search & research tasks?
The disaster is that there is human demand for tens of thousands more of these that living, breathing people could actually live in but instead economic policy and capital distribution is geared towards building NFTs in the sky for Russian and Chinese billionaires.

Warby Parker was founded with a mission: to inspire and impact the world with vision, purpose, and style. Since the day we launched in 2010, we’ve pioneered ideas, designed products, and developed technologies that help people see—from designer-quality prescription glasses (starting at $95) and contacts to eye exams and vision tests. Customers can meet us online, at more than 145 Warby Parker stores across the U.S. and Canada, or even in their home. Ultimately, we believe in vision for all, which is why for every pair of glasses or sunglasses we sell, a pair of glasses is distributed to someone in need through our Buy a Pair, Give a Pair program. To date, we have worked alongside our nonprofit partners to distribute more than eight million glasses to people in need—and we're only just getting started.

Apples and tomatoes are not good examples for your point. There's a tremendous variety of apples available in standard grocery stores, most of which are significantly tastier than the red delicious. And bland tomatoes are a result of having to ship tomatoes, which is near impossible with ripe fruit, hence selecting robust varieties, picking early, and having them ripen in transit. There too, increasingly you can find heirloom varieties in stores, however they are understandably more expensive. Try canned tomatoes if you don't need a pretty fruit but are looking for flavor -- canning varieties are picked ripe and immediately processed.

Study Finds Tight College Friendships Mean Less Negative Gossip
Speaking as a parent with a job and a small kid who has to do childcare, job, housework, cooking, everything while my partner lies in bed playing video games on their phone.... it is phenomenally frustrating.

What really sucks about depression is that it is functionally a very selfish disease from the perspective of the people providing support. The person won't do the bare minimum of their responsibilities, and will only exert effort, creativity, desire, and motivation to ... defend their depression and depressive activities.

My health suffers, my fitness suffers, my stress suffers, my job suffers, my kid suffers.

It's one of those mental "possessions/invasions" like addiction where communicating with a person about their specific problem becomes a strange otherworldly conversation with an isolated part of the brain specifically dedicated to perpetuating and defending that self-destructive cycle of behavior. It's basically like a disassociated alternate personality.

Part of the tendency of human mental conditions to try to inflict themselves upon other people is that I think profoundly deep trauma makes someone lonely, and only the expression of disorders or inflicting the same wound on others alleviates that lonliness in a perverse cycle, which inflicts the same trauma on others.

And thus there are classes of mental illness that I do think can be viewed as "infectious".

You are judging them based on perceived quality. There is the potential mistake. Have you considered that maybe quality isn't the most important factor at all times? Or maybe that what you perceive as quality is not what most people are looking for?

I loved Roadside Picnic and this had anticipated watching stalker for years (just never made it happen). When I finally did watch it, recently, I found it relentlessly boring. The questions it raised for me were more of the nature "why is this shot going on for so long" and "do all three of these grown men really think a puddle is the best spot for a nap? Why did you put your foot, still in your shoe, partially into the water?".

If some one feels up to the challenge of explaining what they got out of it and why it is critically acclaimed, please do. I wouldn't be surprised if there was some perspective I had failed to consider that made it a compelling experience.

No, strictly drinking. It's practically all lost to perspiration and respiration - I struggled to drink enough water to manage a single wee throughout the day.

This was 120F ambient air temps, much hotter surface/roof-in-progress temps operating in close proximity to.

Basically every drink break put down 2 Brita pitchers worth, refilled from a 5-gallon water cooler bottle. Typically I'd have to go down and refill the 5-gallon bottle once per day... hence 5-10gals.

A functional glider would do nicely I think. (Doh, they had those with Daedaleus and Icarus).

I was going to suggest a boat or a hot air balloon, but Archimedes figured that one out.

Another thought would be a simple steam engine. The Greeks had iron and knew how to work it. All the rest is knowledge that wouldn't surprise them, but they'd not put it all together.

The Greek's theory of chemistry was all kinds of messed up. There are likely lots of examples there that could be used as well.
Yep. Netflix correctly saw that if it was successful at streaming, content holders would be quick to try and cut it out as a middleman. They've had their sight on being a content producer since very early on, and have been extremely successful at it. There are many people out there who can only afford a few streaming services, and Netflix remains a top choice to hold, despite the fact they license comparatively little top tier US content any more.
Maybe a frivolous one. They don’t have a product named Dura not anything that looks remotely similar.
