>our contrived example very conveniently excludes what inflation buys

Yes I did this on purpose because you seemed to misunderstand some very basics of economics. That poor folks holding cash has wealth indirectly transferred to debtors who are leveraged into assets is not a controversial economic theory. It's fucking basic math.

So once the contrived example made sense to you your first response is to move the goalpost completely and talk about something unrelated?

We're not talking about the necessities of monetary policy we're talking about the effects, please focus on the relevant parts of a debate instead of jumping around to avoid conceding a (very basic) issue.

As an aside, you picked infrastructure as your main deflection point? Do you have any idea what % of US revenue is spent on infrastructure compared to everything else?

You also seem to misunderstand per capita vs. aggregate. Do you think if poor people have as much money in aggregate as one rich person that means they're rich? In the same way, comparing all outstanding consumer debt (of which the vast majority of mortgages) is not helping your argument, you'll have to show me a breakdown that shows on average a poor person is more often a net debtor.

You also need to distinguish debt into assets vs. depreciating assets. Using leverage on stock is not the same as buying nikes with a high interest credit card.

Thank you! The leaderboard currently emphasizes the top 3 players, but it does show everyone too.

The major focus that differentiates Quickz is that I really want to make something that is educational and promotes learning.

For example, teachers can specify the reason a question is correct while making a deck. This is something that I felt was missing while playing Kahoot because I find that it's easier to remember and understand why something is correct if I'm given an explanation for it.

In terms of monetization, a "pro" plan for teachers that stores and aggregates game statistics is the current plan, but that's far away from now. :)
What's even easier and you don't need to install anything is plain SSH and rsync and scp and sshfs?
Wouldn't it be better to run the experiment longer _and_ discard the data from initial few weeks?
Dunno. IMO, the only good thing that can be said about The C Programing Language is that it's short. The AWK Programming Language, on the other hand, is indeed a classic.

WWII lasted longer, and IIRC the US was under a restrictive civilian rationing regime that whole time.

I understand that people can get annoyed with various measures required for the public good, but that's not good reason to "move on" from whatever challenge that motivates them.

No, not really. It was a game company, and the justification he used was that it was SOOO much better than the studios he'd been at before.

Has capitalism made iPhones cheap enough for the folks working in iPhone factories to afford them? Can the bean pickers working coffee plantations afford Starbucks? Is there zero wealth gap between people who shop at Walmart and the people who make the cheap crap that gets sold at Walmart?

No, no, and no. Capitalism does not fix this. Capitalism exploits this and forwards the profits to the executives and shareholders.

Procrastination, definition:
"to delay doing something that you should do, usually because you do not want to do it"

Should, definition:
"used to show what is right, appropriate, etc., especially when criticizing somebody’s actions"

Appropriate, definition:
"suitable, acceptable or correct for the particular circumstances"

I think we're going into circular definitions here. However, it all comes down to motivation, i.e. what's the motive for doing something? Disapproval of one's social group? Disapproval of one's employer? Disapproval of one's customer? Disapproval of one's neighbor? Disapproval of one's self?

Uncomfortable question: are the social norms themselves actually healthy or can an entire society be fundamentally sick, such that many of the norms encourage destructive behavior, mental illness, etc.? In which case, certain forms of procrastination (i.e., not conforming to said social norms) can actually be healthy. See: workaholic syndrome.
I feel Wargames is often underrated.

It was one of the very first movies about the topic (1983), and yet it balances being an entertaining blockbuster with very realistic depictions of many kinds of hacking, from waiting around for a port-scanner, to patiently shoulder surfing an administrator, to dumpster diving and just doing research on your opponents, plus many others. It even bases the overall plot on AI-training-set-poisoning! To this day that topic remains pretty far out of the public consciousness as a concern, but it's probably gonna be a pretty big deal.

It also captures a core hacker cultural feeling of "curious grey-hat teenagers having fun exploring" versus "large powerful entities getting very mad at the wrong people over their own failures to implement basic security safeguards."

It even manages to stuff a nuclear deproliferation + broad antiwar morality play in there, and through all of this, there's not a single crazy imaginary hacking visualization! It's a great hacker movie.

> Google home speakers are about to get slightly worse

Google are well ahead of this lawsuit, the home speakers have been getting slightly worse since Google lost interest and moved on a couple of years ago.

Say what you will about Alexa, but it is the only voice assistant that seemingly keeps improving, Siri is statically-terrible and while Google Assistant was once good, it is worse now than then somehow (although functionality/integrations hasn't evolved).

My favorite thing right now is that a room can have multiple devices (e.g. screens, speakers, etc) but timers don't belong to a room, they belong to an individual Home device, so your screens don't show your timers if your speaker "eats" them. Makes zero sense. Been like that for over a year.

In general Google as an organization is going downhill fast. Google Search is legitimately bad now, I turn on Verbatim Mode and quote everything just to get a so-so experience (still mostly spam though).
My point is that once Apple is ready they won't have to.

This is correct, people don't want to hear it because the energy use argument was just a convenient trend for them to latch on their already existing “useless crypto” arguments that just lacked a hook. People want to say that there must be some
Other use of the energy and aren't aware of how much energy has just been wasted and strewn directly into the atmosphere for decades, with crypto mining onsite being the only economic use so far.

The miners also did themselves a disservice by trying to keep their energy sources secret for several years, I know some of them in North America intentionally helped spread the energy misinformation just to slow others down from getting capital to build out their own sites.

But honestly all of this doesn't really matter as the oil and gas producers with the sites are the slowest ones to adopt. The ones already polluting for a century who are desperate for a solution are just slow to collaborate with the solution providers, the miners. They aren't stuck on carbon emissions as they have already made that their identity, they get that mining onsite reduces their carbon emissions even though other people ironically arent willing to understand that, the people running sites are just technophobes and computing luddites who dont get crypto, with a slight general concern about safety with adding more stuff to a dangerous site.
This is a bait and switch. If you’re comfortable with your employer using dark patterns against you, go for it. If not, maybe consider another employer.

From the article:

> In this case, many people will cancel the cheaper trip regardless of which one they would prefer to go on

"All else" is explicitly not equal, there's a difference in preference for some reason other than price. This is not a puzzle with a correct answer, this is an example of specific behavior in specific cases observed in specific people who have all needed information available to them.

I "retired" for about ten years. I chose to be poor and just focus on raising my kids and being home with them. I discovered what it is this guy is talking about. I was able to focus on personal projects and learning about the world.

I applied all of that and reentered the corporate world like a beast. It is now ten years later and cannot wait to "retire" again. I miss being able to think about things and live life without the narrowing constraints imposed by wage slavery.

You can't understand how liberating it is until you try it but it takes a lot of faith in yourself.
Targeting an efficient number of teammates is tricky because it's difficult to know and test when fewer people can achieve more. Too many constraints kill growth, and not too much also kill growth...

A fact often ignored is that big startup success didn't raise a lot of money. Before their IPO, Shopify raised only $122.3M, Google raised $36.1M, Linkedin $103M, King $43M, Datadog $147M, Tableau $30M, and ServiceNow $83M. They all built massive businesses without a lot of cash infusion.
That sort of rule of thumb is going to be most accurate for average salaries, because large amounts of the non-salary costs are relatively fixed (e.g. health insurance costs the same amount whether you earn $50K or $200K annually). As salary goes up, so does its share of total compensation.

I've worked for US based companies in the past from Germany and that was the setup at the time because it was a legal and bureaucratic hassle to set up proper employment. That said, both times I received equity - that's, at least to my understanding, straightforward to set up.

Given that job security is almost non-existent in the US it never bothered me to not be an employee - I just always assumed that today could be my last day (well, in theory at least). You do miss out on the usual health benefits, 401k, etc. and will have to cover that yourself in your country.

In your fair world there would be no more than one generation's worth of success in science and innovation. Success of the next generation depends on our own.

What I think you mean is a fair world socializes the success by removing the ability for consensual trade/gifting of resources from a person of one generation to another. But that is also unfair because it uses coercion on individual success.

If you remove the ability to pass on success, I would just quit my job and abandon my children. Why try if they gain nothing.

> This results in rampant government corruption

Dictators and corruption are indeed inseparable. But the present UK government is also being shaken by revelations of extensive corruption.

Corruption is insidious; it starts with buddies of the glorious leader, leading to businesses that are founded on corruption, ending up with almost every official in every capacity becoming corrupt, including policemen and army officers. In the process the people are impoverished, markets are kneecapped, and the currency becomes debauched. Honesty and honour become a liability.

I'm much more scared of corruption than ideology X or ideology Y. If you're lucky enough to live in a country where the rule of law still sort-of works, you'd better hope that corruption is stamped out as soon as it's head pops up.

In the C -> C++ -> Java -> Scala progression Java was a gigantic golang-style detour from a multi paradigm language. STL had so much power and a lot of it can be attributed to quasi-FP abstractions. The first few posts in Bartosz Milewski's blog showed the same examples in both C++ and Haskell.

What surprises me is that even among those lucky to work on a powerful platform such as the JVM or .NET it's more typical to stick to a single language. In my mind it'd be more natural to write Java/Kotlin/C# when you want imperative abstractions and Scala/F# when you are in mood for FP. The same platform/libraries, the same IDE/toolchain, only the syntax/abstractions differ.

But we know that Scala and F# adoption is nowhere near what some of us would hope for. We also know that the ecosystem fragments immediately and Scala projects don't share [m]any libraries with Java ones for example. So mixing the two languages in one system is mostly about wrapping some legacy code.

The "worse is better" essay touched upon some deep truth.
There was no OO before PHP 5 so you are missing the point.

Obviously you wouldn't write modern software like this but maintaining those old systems is a hell lot easier then those where people went nuts on OO and inheritance was used more lightly. Bad abstraction are worse that lack of abstractions, basically.

Either work on a modern project that has been build in recent years or if you have to maintain things, better go with something really, really old. Those in-between projects that don't seem to be totally hopeless but are still rotten, yeah that is there most pain lies.

Sure it depends depends on the specific project, everything can be abused but that is a totally different discussion.

FWIW, I've never before heard of anyone allergic to figs - or to any fruit. So I suspect that it is a rare dysfunction. The unusual nature and the mild reaction make your situation non-obvious. The link to wasps (noted by others) adds an additional potential dimension.

I know one person that is allergic to chocolate, as well as to "Christmas trees" (don't know whether it's all pines or only some pines). Other than that, all the food allergy cases I know of fall into the common categories - dairy, poultry, shellfish, nuts/legumes...

Now that I think about it, I have to wonder if the "soapy" cilantro phenomenon is a mild allergy. But that's also correlated to the "supertaster" phenomenon.

Sensory phenomena are fascinatingly complex.

The interesting thing is that there are a lot of young(ish) people interested in farming, who really do want to run a profitable mid-sized farm. Most of these people just don't have the resources to buy into land, so most of the ones that do it have inherited derelict farms. A few of them do it with leased land, but that's risky as regenerative ag requires a time investment and getting the rug pulled out from under you can be a real bummer.

I'd argue that our mega-ag model is a big part of the problem, it's given us stupidly cheap corn/soy while causing a lot of health and pollution problems, and basically ruining farming as an actual profession.
I'm sure the devil is in the details on this bug.
There are good reasons not to use Fortuna-as-written nowadays, so I don't fault Linux that. But it would be nice if someone familiar with the design published something like the Fortuna whitepaper, or Microsoft's Windows 10 RNG whitepaper[1].

(Why not use Fortuna as-written? The main reason is that it is not designed to scale. It's a reasonable design for the single core machines of the era when it was written, but it does not worry about contention at all. You could also swap out AES for Chacha as PRF, because: Chacha is faster to seed, faster to generate on machines without AES-NI, and doesn't have some of the theoretical problems -- discussed in the Fortuna chapter -- that AES has with its relatively small 128-bit blocks.)

A film is just a bag of bytes. Consider we live in an age where:

- 20+MBit connections are the norm in the Western world

- there are no border checks or national firewalls to impede the flow of information worldwide (barring tyrannical regimes)

- the cost of making a copy and sending it out to anywhere around the world approximately = free

- we've had 20+ years to work on the service problem of piracy, to reach an acceptable equilibrium

It seems outrageous that we have fractured streaming services, no true digital ownership (even to match what we had for decades with VHS and optical discs), that restricting download rights is even a thing (I got my bag of bytes and paid for it, what is it to you what program or hardware I use to play it?), or that we have to wait at all for a film to be released in all geographies (I don't care that I'm in the Philippines - I already speak English and can't be bothered to wait for the official dubbing) if the bytes can come streaming down the pipe in less than a second.

I'm not entitled. I do have high expectations because we live in the goddamn future and copyright cartels are LARPing a world of digital cavemen. Like hell I'm gonna be content with that.
