You are responding to a statement that wasn't quite made.

We are talking about riches here, not transitioning from poverty to an upper-middle class income. What you say is absolutely true, but only up to a point, because money has diminishing marginal returns to happiness.

Why? Because of everything you state: it is unpleasant to have to think about how you'll feed and house yourself. But it does not require riches (in western living context) to be able to stop worrying about that.

Where money stops driving happiness varies by person, and by regional cost of living, but the research we have available suggests that it's not an extraordinarily high amount. Maybe $90k or so for most people.

But if you're making $150k, will having $10m in the bank make your life dramatically happier? The evidence suggests that no, it will not. That's when money fails to buy happiness.
Their online history publishing group is very clickbaity in my experience.
I completely agree. I have worked at a company that had exactly this trajectory. It's also not just the number of employees, but also the age of the code and the number of micro-pivots that nobody bothered actually refactoring through the code. Specifically the company went:

- All senior developers who had a strong sense of the actual product and what they're trying to do -> no pull requests, everybody happy
- An awkward middle area where eventually they had tripled in size and code quality was haemorrhaging customers and paralyzing attempts to release -> "what do we change?", nobody happy
- Another doubling in size, giant organizational change -> PRs are mandatory, people aren't happy but any attempts to reduce PR burden has almost a straight line to bugs in production
My kids are in NYC public schools too. My 3rd grader opted into the state assessment tests. They release the scores with breakdowns how the kids do by grade and school. This time they didn't. I'm pretty sure it's because of how terrible the results were that it'd be a scandal.
There are theories which dispute the underlying premises of econometrics. Economics is sometimes referred to as "the dismal science". Experiments cannot be constructed in the same way as the natural sciences. Dressing economics up in the pretenses of the natural sciences has arguably led us down a path of shenanigans. Consider the Federal reserve's machinations, deliberately opaque language and absurd narratives such as "transient inflation" or "symmetric inflation".

>The main characteristic or nature of human beings is that they are rational animals. They use their minds to sustain their lives and well-being. The usage of the mind, however, is not set to follow some kind of automatic procedure, but rather every individual employs his mind in accordance with his own circumstances. This makes it impossible to capture human nature by means of mathematical formulae, as is done in the natural sciences.

>In short, people have the freedom of choice to change their minds and pursue actions that are contrary to what was observed in the past. As a result of the unique nature of human beings, analyses in economics can only be qualitative.

>Furthermore, to pursue quantitative analysis implies the possibility of the assignment of numbers, which can be subjected to all of the operations of arithmetic. To accomplish this, it is necessary to define an objective fixed unit. Such an objective unit, however, doesn’t exist in the realm of human valuations. On this Mises wrote, "There are, in the field of economics, no constant relations, and consequently no measurement is possible."
You may have misread my comment - I said 1 director[1] to every 15 L5s.

> And I believe the moment you said "1:3 manager to L5 ratio" your interviewer would give you a subtle but questioning look and expect you to revise that.

I deliberately chose a high number to show that the number of Director interviews is still large after steelmanning your PoV (at the lower boundary of director-to-L5 ratio): I don't imagine many teams have 3+ L5s on them.

Also, in the spirit of learning, could you perhaps plugin numbers that you think are more reasonable (L5 per team, and number of teams a director is responsible for)?

1. I'm calling the L5's skip-level manager a Director - I'm assuming that's what they are called at Google, but I could be wrong. That's the ratio I'm calculating
yeah, an instant loss in acceleration would certainly make you eat pavement in many cases. definitely a fair concern. I might claim that "I hit a rock slightly larger than that small rock I can usually roll over and now I'm in an impromptu pole-vault competition" is a more common issue with small scooter wheels than random power losses, but there's more personal control over that. (personally: crossing train tracks were my #1 fear and #1 fall cause on scooters)

either way, safety gear safety gear safety gear. especially since basically all these electric personal mobility enhancing whatsits are horrifyingly injury-prone compared to anything the size of a bike or larger.

If it is a mental health issue, then that issue affects a very substantial double-digit percentage of the population, something approximating the count of vax refusers. They don't believe in the same nuttery, but they do subscribe to one of the many flavors of anti-science aggression.

What is most fascinating and frightening is that there are many who, rather than understand that the world has serious random phenomena, or at least phenomena that are not yet fully explained (or the explanation is beyond their understanding), would choose to instead of believing scientists who spend their entire lives trying to sort it out, instead believe that there is some evil cabal of people responsible for the misery in their lives.

You are correct. I would be plenty happy with 80% self-driving and lots of safety features, but the VCs want the robot trucks and taxis for their trillion dollar win. No way full self-driving can do the last mile or work in all conditions. For example, human eyes have pretty decent dynamic range in dark, snowy conditions. We basically make intuitive decisions about which patch of white stuff in the dark of night is the best one to smash through to get our driveways, and I don't think the computer vision is yet discerning enough to facilitate that.

I have always been interested in seeing a database which had consistent units and ingredients as well, such that pulling the full database and doing visualizations could be easily done.

This would also make the adjustment to the batch size for each recipe on each webpage much simpler.

Obviously I know heat transfer effects need to be taken into account and such for some things, but it would be at least a start . Then the real mass/heat transfer and such engineering fun can begin.

Exactly. I volunteered at my son’s kindergarten class one day and saw how difficult it was for them to interact with each other let alone pronounce words. I was not the same dad after that.

I’m curious if the parents of young children that feel masks are NBD have spent time in the classroom.
I think it's differentiating total lack of trust ("all your PRs suck while mine are perfect, so I have to read yours") from universal fallibility ("your PRs are great, but all code has bugs, so we all review each other's code to catch some of them").

I'm not sure in general "scientists" do what you suggest. Not all scientists are required to take them, but there are courses in the history of science. I took two semesters and it was quite enlightening. The texts we used were replete with admonishments against the sort of chauvinism you suggest.

At the same time, if we discover some feat of engineering or scrap of insight that was heretofore thought unknown in the period it was created in, it's worth noting: it permits us to revise what we know about the investigators of the time and what they actually knew to begin with.
A question that isn't really delved into here, given a social recovery scheme, this iiuc must run on chain, so there are gas fees associated with account recovery. What's the cost to recover an account if I lose it today? Is there any way to reduce that cost, or will there always be some (potentially hundreds-of-dollars) fee associated with account recovery?
If you view code reviews as expressing a lack of trust, you're probably doing them wrong. Code reviews should be a conversation among people who trust each other. You're saying "hey I'd like to know your thoughts about this, and I'd also like you to learn a bit about what I am doing"

When done right code reviews spread knowledge and build trust among team members. Of course there are certainly situations which call for a push without a code review, but those should be exceptions not the rule.

While a lot of the issues around code review are cultural, I also think there's a lack of good tooling. That's why I'm building CodeApprove which makes reviewing code on GitHub faster and more enjoyable:

That’s not a reasonable argument for any position. Just because few hundred years ago something was designed differently isn’t a reason not to change it.
That is a gross misreading of what I wrote. 60% is the pathogens for which we can even after a very long time trace their origin to a spillover, but the numbers are far higher than that, we just don't have the proof.

Hard evidence is required for exceptional cases, especially when culpability is involved. Whereas the 'natural' way may simply not have left enough evidence at all to be able to trace it.
I have the 16" which has slightly better thermals. When it's in clamshell mode and I'm doing heavy stuff (maybe a zoom call + big compilation + running a few local services) I can feel a tiny bit of warm air coming out. Can't hear anything though.
I don't think 'anatomically modern' necessarily implies that their brains were evolved to the same level of modern humans; I don't believe there is any hard evidence, genetic or otherwise. But even if so, that 200k years could have been the time it took to develop the software (i.e. knowledge and culture) necessary to fully apply the hardware (brain) toward building more modern civilizations.
I think that’s what he’s trying to say?

It doesn’t make sense though because having your own architecture isn’t that useful if no one else wants to use it. The goal is to 10X your profits by licensing out your designs. Designing your own architecture is a 1X move if only you use it and that’s not counting the cost of maintenance and marketing.

Counterpoint: Apple has sunk an incredible amount of money into an architecture that provides very few tangible benefits to the consumer. It looks unlikely that they’ll ever recoup costs. They could have put that money toward their own fab and received infinite US government money instead.

China’s New Algorithm Rules Take Aim at Big Tech Companies
Some interesting snippets from the article:

“Authorities say the first of its kind directive aims to create a healthy internet environment.”

“The first of its kind of rules in the country will be applicable toward algorithm recommendation technologies used for personalized push notifications, sorting and selecting, filtering, and other ways to provide information online to users, according to the announcement Tuesday. The new directive was jointly published by the Cyberspace Administration of China, along with three other government departments, and will go into effect March 1.

“While algorithms have injected momentum into political, economic, and social development over recent years, problems caused by unreasonable application of algorithms have profoundly affected the normal market order and social order,” the country’s internet watchdog said in the announcement.

Meanwhile, authorities have also tightened their oversight on algorithm recommendation service providers that offer news services, banning them from generating “fake news” or disseminating it.

“One of the most striking additions to the final draft was a stipulation prohibiting algorithms from sharing fake news,” Kendra Schaefer, head of tech policy research at Beijing-based consultancy Trivium China, told Sixth Tone. “(The rules) reflect some of the biggest concerns across Chinese society today — content control online, the aging population crisis, transparency of big tech companies, anti-competitive behavior — and seek to get out in front of a future where algorithms are used to corrode social unity or exacerbate market problems.”
Well, that’s a surprisingly myopic take on a site with a disproportionately large audience who send recipes to silicon on the regular.

I sincerely don't follow the logic on how Web3 "solves" the problem posited in the "But what if someone loses their private key?" section:

"Some of you might already be familiar with multisig, which is a similar concept... The idea here is that you could give keys to your friends and family, or to some sort of business service, then if you lose your key, use your friends to “vouch” for you and move the account to a new key.
...
With social recovery, instead of having to trust Google, you can choose who you trust, and instead trust a given set of friends, family, and services. If you ever lose access to your private key, there is a smart contract encoded on the blockchain that syas that if some number of your guardians all agree (you pick the number) then you can move your account to a new private key."

I didn't see anything about Google being a requirement for multisig, so I'll skip the author's aside and ask, "How are these two things different?" Multisig lets friends "vouch" for us to move our account to a new key and social recovery lets friends "agree" to let us move our account to a new key.

These sound exactly the same to me?

The original writeup says something about "multisig moves the burden down to the user to issue keys" etc., but setting up smart contracts would still require someone to do some kind of setup work. Those contracts aren't just going to magically appear out of nothing; at the very least you'll have to select your friends, get their agreement, and a contract would have to be issued and signed.

I dunno, I still fail to "get it" (this is not an invitation to try and help me "get it", as helping people "get it" is kind of the point of the original blog post)
Mentoring and coaching terms are a bit too one-way for my liking. So I’ve always avoided that terminology in favour of more peer to peer metaphors.

While I may have more flying hours in some topics of life or work, even a younger and/or less experienced person in some ways, can teach me something in other ways.

Makes me glad I decided never to install this system in my life and continuing to execute in single user mode. I sometimes init to multi-user mode providing the occasional access for mature, if idiosyncratic, friendly processes that are no longer maintained well but properly reviewed for defects. That said I did allow these wee furry apps to side load that apparently have something called "murder mode". But as long as keep them well fed they seem to sleep quite a lot.

The Bible tells all of us as Christians to respect Jews as the Chosen People in the Old Covenant with God (HaShem), which indeed remains fully valid as to them-- and Judaism as the way they've chosen to worship Him. This is absolutely scriptural, and valid theology. By definition, people who don't love and respect Jews are falling far short of genuine Christianity.
