I hope it helps you - but are there any studies on how it works and why? What’s the mechanism of “disassociation” resulting in “getting better”?
I don't get what you want to say.

Decarbonizing is happening, at least to electricity generation and transportation. There is a group insisting on denying this, but it's just your usual form of denialism.

There is reasonable freedom to debate the last 10% of emissions. Those are not being replaced right in front of our eyes. There is also room to claim that decarbonization is not enough. But then you'll have to claim that stopping things as they are is either catastrophic or won't stop the consequences from changing. That's not unthinkable, but not a reasonable default assumption either.

I imagine you are talking about that last one assumption. If so, starting from it is kind of an extreme position. Anyway, it's not clear what kind of cost you are classifying as insurmountable and why governments that are used to spend real amounts of money on all kinds of projects just can't spend on those.
Yes, sounds like it. MK (pronounced "mark") is an American military prefix meaning "version". MK-1 is version 1, MK-2 is version 2, etc.

"MK-1" is a common military joke/term meaning the human eye, as opposed to other electrical-optical sensors that might be fitted to an upgraded aircraft.
That statement is flawed, yes.

The laissez faire argument is that everyone wins, as everyone does what they're good at and/or they like, and buys what they're bad at and/or they dislike.

You can disagree with that if you like, but there's no point creating a false "instead of" straw man.
Capitalism, as the term has been most over 200 years of its existence, refers to something that emerges in the industrial era.
Everyone has a good relationship with their employer _until they don't._

And when the relationship goes bad it also becomes very, very one-sided.
Look How Big my Fundraising is
There is a difference between being hungry and needing something sweet to satisfy a craving even though you're full. The later is called hedonic hunger and is (IIUC) very similar to addiction neurologically.
It is not just electricity.
For companies and individuals involved with Bitcoin there is still marketing, flying and meetings around the globe, managing infrastructure etc.
And Bitcoin adoption is still relatively small - especially for everyday use. I can imagine that centralized bureaucracy of VISA per volume of that market will always be smaller then Bitcoin.
I don't think academia should be one thing, that's kind of the point of tenure

You're promoting both a super traditional view yet also one that seems divorced from the last ~100 years of sociology studies wrt how society progresses wrt inventions and how people fit into that. So, it's great you follow old beliefs handed down by generations of giants from much earlier ages -- there's clearly precedent -- and I encourage you to learn about new ones from the last few generation of scientists who took a more scientific method to learning how recent progress often works. These methods are not for everyone, but it's useful to at least know about them before calling the techniques of your peers 'cancer'. Personally, as technology keeps speeding up, I expect this to become even more important, but at the same time, do value head-in-the-sand research too ;-)

Also, to be clear: I am not rejecting the scientific method here. Products, and more importantly, the communities of practice around them, have a lot to do with hypothesis generation, methods, and evaluation. Most industrial labs, and ironically, especially ones that force researchers to embed into existing internal product teams, put a lot of hand cuffs on this process so academic env helps. It does take humility and empathy and time to incorporate them, so not so easy (kind of like startup-lite), but it is a family of tools and one aimed at more intentional progress.

And no, 'products' is not synonymous with financial motivation: most OSS projects have no paid piece, for example.
"The worst of both worlds."

Sounds about right.
The founders never lost control, they're still the majority stockholder, they just stopped caring.
Turning ?

In America this has always been the case. Anything that's not 100% your literally going to drop dead without it, isn't covered by insurance.

Therapy is essentially a luxury good, around here none take insurance so if you don't have 1200 to 1600$ a month sucks to be you. It's comical, say your spending is out if control, unless your excess spending exceeds 1200$ a month your better off with a "Stupid" line item in your budget.

As long as your spending less than 1200$ in the stupid category, your coming out ahead.

In this space we've seen tons of quasi legal startups trying to capitalize. Who cares if these therapists are licensed to operate in the same state as their clients, we got money to make and vC funding to raise.
This is true, but I haven't seen any coordinated efforts at market based healthcare reform. Some of the needed reforms are patently obvious (eg make arbitrary post-facto charges illegal, like every other industry), and yet there are no popular campaigns advocating for them. There are a few comments in this thread chiming in with lists of reforms, and I could write one of my own, but politically it's crickets (likely because the Parties are partially employed by the healthcare industry).

Instead I'm forced to reluctantly support single payer healthcare, despite it being a huge corporate giveaway. It's really saying something when "have the government take it over" is the clearest path to restoring a more functional market.
My favorite documentation trick for ruby is to run your own doc server locally documenting the versions of the gems you are using. I use the "yard" gem.

yard server --gems --reload

For rails and ruby docs, I use Dash (on Mac). I use Dash for local docs for other languages and systems as well. Just a handy tool for local docs.
How is capitalism without competition not capitalism? The capitalist is served very well by it, earning huge piles of money.
In this case it’s a bit of a hybrid, studios can - at least in theory - create a system where they could get a cut of monkey millions through the actual use of blockchains, which they would absolutely not be able to achieve without blockchains.

But yes, the reason the money is in the blockchain tech and no one pays millions for monkeys without blockchains? That’s all hype.

This tech solves a problem that could be solved by studios just making a private store they all agree on. I don’t think anyone will argue anything else, least of all me.

But here is the thing: things like currency and trade able tokens only have value because people think they do. There is a fine line between “gullible” and “currency” here.
> Couldn't proper packet shaping improve the reliability of your comms?

Proper packet shaping will do it, but so far improper packet shaping does the opposite, and is way more widespread.

Either ISPs purposefully degrade VoIP to make it unusable, or just barely usable to steer VoIP clients into lower gear codecs, and save tiny, tiny sum on traffic.

What I seen more frequently however is that ISPs are buying into all kinds of useless "traffic optimisers" from vendors of telco gear, or trying to boost VOIP traffic, but in the end breaking it by messing up buffer sizing, and congestion control logic of properly done VOIP clients.
> Unions only exist to protect mediocre people, and only cause harm to top performers.

I think this is far too broad a statement to be useful. I personally know of several cases where a union has helped defend an employee from illegal behaviour by their employer, for example. No doubt the individuals involved could have taken the employer to a tribunal if they were suitably motivated, but having the weight of the union behind them meant the issues were resolved quickly and correctly.
> I understood recently about US is that the speech is protected between the citizen and the government, not between civil entities, as business/corps and citizen

It depends. For example the 1st amendment protects a great deal of speech that in other countries would be slander, even though in that case the plaintiff is another civil entity and not the government.
I think this is a big part of it. Unions at FAANG companies these days seem to be more a vehicle for social activists than winning rights for employees. If you don't agree with the goals of the union organizers, there doesn't seem to be a benefit of joining.
It's not at all clear it makes it easier. My great-great grandfathers children and the children of his brother have different last names. That's before dealing with the hassle of married names vs. maiden names for the women.

Most of my family is in Norway and Sweden, and used pretty much the same method as Iceland, except to throw an extra wrench in, a lot of the time people would either use the name of the farm they were born on in addition or or instead of the name derived from their father. Since that could often include extended family, and different owners over time, there might be a proliferation of people with the same last name as you with no close relationship, while someone with a completely different name might be your first cousin.

My last name only exists because one of my ancestors got tired of the name confusion and renamed his farm (changing one letter) because the local area were full of people with the same last name on farms with prefixes like little/large/upper/lower to separate them all, most of whom are not closely related to us due to purchases (the exact same change has happened two different places in Norway; as a result about 50% of people globally with the same last name as me are relatively closely related to me - the other roughly half we've not found a connection point to, but of course one will exist far enough back).
With Google's reach, it can be reasonable to expect that the "Unions Suck" project extended to the American populace as a whole. We just do not know how far it went.
I believe the idea is that any community can form a social contract amongst itself regardless of the size.

In reality, at the moment a government had authority over those under it.

So perhaps this idea of social contracts reveal both the aim (destroying of society, hype and illusion to create communities) and the weakness (government, monopoly of violence, status quo)
Let's be fair here and not assume any bias on the part of...oh Fortune magazine eh?

Except text editors _need_ other people's solutions to learn from, because text editing is one of those cases where "a good implementation for a part of the problem" is a terrible solution for the full problem. Editing implementation for single lines of text do not work well at all for entire text files. Operations become incredibly slow, which is why we invented things like rope data structures and buffered views.
Shh, every time those of us who have been in actual unions and actually had terrible experiences voice our opinions we get downvoted into oblivion.

It's not worth it, m8.
> Here's my hot take on Ruby (as a big Ruby fan): Ruby libraries in general have bad documentation. Some other languages I've worked with in the same time frame that typically have better docs are node.js/regular js, Python, Golang and Elixir.

JS libraries, IME, are often very bad, though there are some good ones. But, on Ruby, I would go further and say that, especially compared to Python which is so similar in many other respects, Ruby (and not just the library ecosystem,) has a very bad documentation culture.

In fact, more than in libraries, this is evident in the first-party documentation available on the language homepage.
No way, cats play in total silence. They have keen hearing and don't need any special play signal on top of that.
Maybe, but since it is work related, the individual journalist can still informs their newspaper and lawers who can take action.
Germany offers an example of unions that work with the rest of corporate leadership to maintain the health of corporate fiscal flows and labor pools among the other concerns they attenuate to.

This reads to me like characatures used to construct a straw person argument. Your inevitability decoration is denied by observable fact.
Can't speak to internally, but public perception used to be very friendly to google. Relevant xkcd comic:

I mean from a business perspective if you're not doing any training then you're essentially just sitting on your hands waiting for the day employees unionize. And it's not like unions go out of their way to give a fair and complete picture of the up and downsides of a union. If you don't make the case to the employees, nobody else is going to.
Painted lines can be both very good and very bad. It really depends on implementation. A painted strip right through the door-zone of parking is the well known example of bad painted lines. But painted lines next to a pair of narrow lanes are bad even without parking: here, without the bike lane a cyclist would effectively take most of the full lane, with overtaking cars easily doing a half-width zip merging on the outside lane. It's an easy flow with cars temporarily "compressed" onto "1.5 lanes". But when you compress the cars onto two permanently narrow lanes, with an explicit bike lane, drivers will reliably stop the zip merge and just plow through, often even much closer to the bike lane than to the other car lane. The worst examples are those where the original road was slightly too narrow to make 2x car and 1x bike and they painted a minimum width bike lane: on those, drivers keep doing double file and those on the right routinely enter the bike lane - and they still don't do the "partial zip" they'd do without the bike lane. Those things are not only worse than fully separated, they are worse than absence of bike infrastructure.

But a not-bad lane implementation (either enough room for well-sized lanes for both cars and bikes or making the remaining car lane clearly too narrow for double file), yeah, I'd take it over fully separated any single time. Much better coordination with right turning traffic (occasionally, when speed happens to match, I even merge through the right turn lane so they don't have to give me right of way, clear win-win), much safer access to left turn lanes if you need it, much easier merging into traffic when the bike infrastructure is blocked (plenty of occasions, both sides of legality) and in general sooo much less interaction with stray dogs, children, cyclists who ride against traffic because in their mind they are a pedestrian with wheels instead of a very light vehicle, pedestrians who walk there because in their mind they are cyclists (yeah, that has happened to me, I admit) and so on. I love painted lanes! Just please avoid those horrible mistakes that you have to avoid while setting them up when you set them up.
I understand now. Definitely property values haven risen proportionately faster than wages in most of the big cities of the USA. This causes wealth distribution by age to be suboptimal. 40 y/o have too little wealth compared to 70 y/o.

Road safety measures would benefit all road users, not just cyclists. Around 40,000 Americans are killed each year on the roads, and 1% of the population are injured seriously enough to require medical attention. Those are scary large numbers, and the fact that the country has gotten accustomed to this is really unbelievable.

that's not true for most clients, though (AFAICT, only riot works with itself).

It seems to be partially that big corporations are using his library without payment – I can sympathise with that, although if you choose to release it under that license I'm not sure whether you can accuse the companies of doing anything particularly wrong.

But also seems to relate it to a pretty insane conspiracy theory that Ghislaine Maxwell was involved in the death of Aaron Swartz, almost entirely based on the debunked theory that an account on Reddit named "MaxwellHill" was hers.

Seems like he was just flailing wildly.
When I was very young I worked a tough job that had a mandatory union and it was quite terrible / weak. Working conditions were pretty bad, physical labor, etc. But it was not until I worked a job with no union that I realized every element of that job that didn't suck was due to the union. For example we had supervisors but they didn't follow you around and micromanage you. You were just expected to do your job. If you didn't you would be reprimanded of course, but no one was on your case at all. Supervisors had to show you a base level of respect: there were rules on that stuff. There were a lot of rules, actually, and even though the union didn't have a lot of power I'm pretty sure every single positive one, anything that gave employees even a sliver of autonomy and power, were things that the union fought for and got for us.

I still was kind of anti-union after that. "Anti Union" is the wrong phrasing, it was more... I was very suspicious of their structure, their own profit motive(s) etc. People working for the union had it so much better than the people actually doing the work, and we were the ones paying for and funding it, right? That aspect of it I never got over, but I now think that it may have been the wrong point of view.

I have recently come around full swing and am 100% pro union. And it is stories like this. Starbucks, Google, Amazon, these companies will spend millions to fight unions. This is prima facie evidence to me that unions benefit workers. These companies all talk the same talk: "we believe companies work best when team members can work directly with the company with no union in the way". As though Amazon warehouse workers have some kind of communication path to improve their working conditions when they are being managed and fired by an AI. What a buncha fkn BS.

Things cost. Good things cost money. You are paying for someone to fight for your interests and not the company's interest. Maybe that is worth paying for. And if you don't pay money to a union to fight you pay with your physical health, your safety, your respect, your mental health. If you work for Amazon you pay with your life when they threaten to fire you if you try to leave in order to hide from a hurricane. We should all be in unions.

How do you explain all the money floating around in an industry supposedly worth $0?
Car drivers get trained when doing driving lessons. There are so many roundabouts that you have to cooperate as a car driver. Also, it is well-known that when an accident happens, the car driver gets the financial damage, and yes, the insurance will pay, but he/she will lose a big percentage of the no-claim decrease in insurance fee.

Recently, local governments are moving away from the real small roundabouts like this one because in the dark, when it is raining, with cyclists who are without lights, these are still somewhat unsafe:
https://www.telegraaf.nl/images/1540x866/filters:format(jpeg...

These are much more modern, and car drivers can more easily see cyclists and mopeds come:
https://www.denhaag.nl/upload/0690e94f-f7ac-43a3-8c1e-4fb768...

Oh, and yes, car drivers can sometimes be aggressive. The same counts for cyclists though. I guess both kinds of people are just like normal people. And by the way, a lot of people are one day car drivers, the next day cyclist, there is a lot of sympathy.

Zynga was slow to transition from Facebook social gaming to mobile gaming. That's when King and Supercell stepped in. I think that Zynga was and is only old-school mobile gaming company left since King and Supercell got acquired and that's why Take-Two was willing to pay such premium price for it.
Bitcoiners don't believe that anything other than PoW provides the security model appropriate for global decentralized money. Try to understand why energy is being spent -- the naive interpretation is that this is waste, and there are better options.

There are no better options that provide the security required for Bitcoin. The energy is not wasted, it is being used to provide security.

In my mind a "superstar programmer" solves a problem that millions of people have and takes his company to "the moon"© . As other people say, you would have to define what "superstar programmer" means to you. A popular framework creator? A scientist? A fellow engineer at FAANG, like Guido, or James Gosling? A famous entrepreneur? etc... To answer your question with my own idea of a superstar, a great programmer would be smart enough to work on his own terms, on things he wants to work on, and make money (possibly a ton) while doing it.
