I think you're sneaking in some assumptions here that people just develop these skills within themselves and have the same opportunity to do so as anyone else. If you start the clock with them already having those skills and other people not then it makes sense, but they ultimately owe all of that back to the society that gave them those skills.

However you end up is a combination of genes and environment - neither of which you have any control over. I don't see why someone should have full rights over whatever their output is when they have no control over the input. If someone has a great idea that can double food production - they owe all the money and food to the society because they would not have had the idea or been able to implement it otherwise. The public could then decide they should get a larger share for some reason(we generally do this with tax policy), but I don't see how they could have any moral claim to it

I will just reinforce that removing a television from the bedroom is a solid first step toward better sleep hygiene.
The other part of why people leave is they end up doing lots of support. Often when things go seriously wrong or even just regular problems the main people called on to fix it are the people that have been there a while and know the system best. They end up missing out on the interesting new projects. Its a good incentive to move.

Revenue is not the same as profit, from the source you quoted the ARPU in Europe for 2016 (period lawsuit starts) is half of what it is in 2020, also it's closer to 15$ since GBP is worth more than USD.

I'm an American. Fundamentally I think we have given up on solving social issues that are a byproduct of a country that valued jobs, those who provide jobs, and cars over stability/culture of any kind.

To solve most of them, it appears A) everybody has to simultaneously change their behavior at once or B) some entity with a lot of resources will end up taking hits until culture changes. We're too deeply divided for A and class divides/corporate-civilian divides prevent anyone from stepping up and doing B.

Since it's too hard we're taking the easy way out into anger, revenge, and apathy--and if you live in a bad area the solution is to make or have enough money to move. The constant mobility mostly driven by job and money chasing makes culture impossible for those who need to work and don't have significant assets--which is most people--and without a culture the tendency to not care about each other tends to win.

Eventually we will run out of room in this country (we always sell out to developers) and we'll have to actually solve problems, but that's probably a good 100 years from now assuming we haven't broken up into separate countries by then.
Never criticize. It will never work or be beneficial at all. No point even going to your manager. It's not your problem and you haven't been asked to help. Furthermore, it's your manager's job to fix this and they too aren't doing their job. When you criticize you will be criticize them as well.

I've been in your position many times. The big problem arrives is when incompetent and useless coworkers start unloading their work onto you. I have been in this situation many times as well. The best advice here is to never lie. Never 'cover'/lie for said coworkers.

Oh another rule, never let any coworkers know how much work you do. You arent just avoiding bragging, tons of benefits down this line. Could be the case of what's happening here.
Good points.

Besides being an overly provocative term, I don't think "post-theory science" is a belligerent to "theory-based" science. It's not logically compatible or incompatible with other theories, because it's not logically based.

It may be contradict theoretical predictions, and that's where empiricism comes in. Long term, if successful, deep learning models of metabolism may be useful or irrelevant to the development of a theoretical understanding.

True enough, but look at your last point.

How long and how many resources does it take to train someone to understand pi, e, and calculus?

Or, to apply your nice analogy to the topic under discussion.

what are the expected costs (time + training support) to get a new hire trained on all of the written materials which describe the system?

For a non-trivial system, those costs can be very high.
It's an Indian brand of cookies.
Yep. The "remote or nothing" advocates are forgetting that it is levelling the playing field and now if I have to hire remote anyway, I would hire anywhere in the world. I have worked with many developers across US and the world and I can tell you that there are bad developers everywhere and great developers everywhere. Sure, in some places, noise is high but overall if you know how to hire developers, you can get a good one for a fraction of the cost and this is the reality.
The reason debuggers are often hard to use in these environments is because people who don't routinely use debuggers to do their job do not see the value of them, and so organizations do not prioritize your ability to do this. The tone of the comments here in general is sceptical of the use of debuggers and this is exactly why you can't use them in some FAANG's - it's not a popular belief even though to anyone who does use them routinely this is such a fundamental thing. I feel like I am so much more capable with the ability to use a debugger and to routinely use it by default during development. This is how vim users must feel explaining to all the sublime text and vscode users what they are missing out on. When you have it, it's a productivity superpower.

Interesting comment from the readme:

"I started building Nomie in 2014 and over the next handful of years I release 3 major versions in 3 different JS technologies (VanilaJS -> Ionic -> ReactNative). The Nomie user base grew to ~100,000 users spread over multiple versions and multiple platforms.

In March 2019 I decided to remove the apps from Google Play and the App Store and step away from the "native app world" has it's too exhausting.

While the native apps will continue to run for those who installed it before, I wanted to take the best parts of Nomie 1, 2 and 3 and release it as an open source solution that could be run in the browser. This project is that result."

I don’t see why this development makes this more likely to happen compared to string concatenation.

The log4j fiasco didn’t happen because of Java (wink) but because of a plain invulnerable feature. I don’t think Rust makes that more or less likely to happen.

Sounds pretty much like the GNU Name System. With what they call a hyper hyper local root, you as a client define your own TLDs in addition to the root your system has configured (the system is intended to replace the existing ICANN root in a backwards-compatible manner).

Delegation happens via public key and records are resolved through a DHT. The idea is you could add your friend/org's key to your root, and from there you could resolve recursively using your friend/org's zone.

Pretty neat stuff, at least on paper.

A college friend wandered the dorm bleary-eyed. His aspirations were pre-med. In a moment of revelation, he noted that if he were so inclined, he could find enough material to spend every waking hour studying.

He also recognized that this was college, and he was planning to use at least some of those hours sleeping or socializing.

Therefore, he concluded, he wasn't going to "work as hard as he could" or any such phrase about maximizing one's output/accomplishment. All that remained was satisfying himself.

He went on to study music. He is a professor of musicology now. I never saw him comparably stressed thereafter.

The protein structure prediction example (AlphaFold) is interesting, because the problem they’re addressing is not that we have no theory per se, but solving the geometry optimization problem directly with ab initio quantum mechanical calculations is not computationally tractable.
> Come on, the problem is not that it's easy to steal, the problem is that society has constructed situations for some of its citizens where they for one reason or another do it.

I assume you're talking about poor people. I don't know how much experience you have with lower socio-economic people in the US, but from my experience, most are honest hardworking and industrious. Some are immigrants without a formal education or even language skills that came to this country for opportunity.

It's a little offensive to deny them basic autonomy to not steal and trash a rail-yard. The people that I came across in my life that do petty crime like this are not poor desperate people. They're usually highly anti-social borderline sociopaths. They're organized by informal networks of other people exploiting them. There's organization involved to keep lookout, know when and were to go and how to avoid getting caught. And if you get caught, there is a whole system around that as well. And since they're organized, they are fully aware of the risk-reward tradeoffs. This includes the recent trend of being soft on these kinds of crimes or looking the other way, as you're doing.

Think about the skill you need to pull this off. You need to be young and physically fit, to run from police. You have to be able to keep a lot of information in your head and make snap decisions about what to open, what to keep and what to toss. You have to show up on time and plan. The people doing these heists could easily be employed as warehouse or delivery workers and make an honest, probably even more lucrative living, especially when you consider long term risk of being arrested. They choose not to.

Poor people are not to blame for this savagery.
> Everything good on the streaming sites is quickly available via torrent

This isn’t as true as it used to be. The torrent scene seems a fraction of what it used to be.

Presumably it’s still fine in private sites but I wouldn’t know.
In my experience, developers who don’t use a debugger belong to one of two groups:

1.) Older hacker types for whom it was previously unavailable or difficult to set up, so they learned to work (well) without it.

2.) Juniors/fresh grads, who often seem intimidated by it, likely because teachers and online resources didn’t emphasize it sufficiently.

I think the first group would benefit from introducing a debugger into their work process, but for the second group it should be essential.
Onions are globally unique and secure. It would be interesting to add a "social" human-meaningful layer pointing to those unique/secure names, much like the GNS project tries to do.
Only a matter of time. If it can be gamed, it WILL be gamed. Do you really believe that non FAANG devs cannot crack leetcode if they really wanted to ?
Just because you own a business doesn't mean you're a manager, I know plenty of people who work independently and work alone or have one or two guys working with them.

It's surprisingly similar to software development in that regard, once you get skilled enough you can get better money contracting than being employed and right now there's so much work that the "safety net" doesn't concern you.
> they all tend to assume that imposter syndrome means that people are truly capable.

Isn't that just what impostor syndrome means? It's not a syndrome to correctly identify yourself as an impostor. That's just "being an impostor".
You're conflating market mechanisms as a general concept to the current global market. You can use market mechanisms as a resource allocation method in all kinds of different models. Market mechanisms are used in all kinds of settings to match prices of all kinds of things, and they work well when they are designed to be fit for purpose.

A market is ultimately nothing more than the iterative application of a function that takes a list of buy and sell orders and outputs matches. It can be entirely unregulated or however regulated you want. There can be no constraints on who accesses it, or lots. There can be synthetic manipulation on one or both sides to adjust the functioning of the market, or not.

I'd argue for all kinds of regulations - I don't think unregulated markets are a good thing at all. But a well regulated market is simply a consensus mechanism that reduces what is a fundamentally computationally intractable control problem if you try to handle it in a centralised manner by dividing it into a range of smaller problems and distribution the effort of figuring out the best way of meetings goals. It's never going to give an optimal outcome, but you can mitigate the risk that it will produce really bad outcomes, and get closer to decent results.

I'm also not arguing for one market, but for many, I favour using market mechanisms to price externalities whenever possible.

The current global market is not set up to "properly distributing resources" because that is not the goal of its participants, so you have a good argument against current global markets for products. If you were to create a market actually intended to fairly distribute scarce healthcare supplies and it would look very different, with pricing based on e.g. predicted outcomes and benefits for different bidders.

You can still plan in the face of well regulated markets, but the planning process would involve packaging up incentives and regulating the pricing of externalities without trying to guess what will work best in ways that forces the planners to become experts in everything.

> The lack of control you seem to present as an advantage is exactly what makes it controllable by a very small minority of powerful entities.

Even if we were to agree this was unavoidable (I'd agree it's unavoidable in an unregulated market with vastly different access to resources, but that is just one subset of possible markets), a planned system is potentially controlled by an even smaller entity of even more powerful entities. We've seen that fail time and time again, because of the hubris of people with power thinking they knew best. Decentralising power is if nothing else a risk mitigation, and the failure of current markets to do so well enough is not an argument for a mechanism with a distinctly worse track record.
Let's pretend the FBI and other three-letter intelligence community orgs don't simply react to events, they are often proactive in manifesting events.

Let's also pretend that same community is often in the mis-information business, as it pairs well with the being proactive. That is, get the ball rolling and then stay out in front of it with (misinformation) spin.

Was 6 Jan ugly? Sure. Are there entities who would prefer we focus on that ugliness, and not what led to it, context, failures, etc.? Yes, of course that's fact as well.

> I don’t believe USA has so many people in prison because its population _is_ more criminal than that of other countries.

I do. I’ve lived in some foreign countries and have come to realize that culture plays just as much if not more of a role in crime as material conditions. America has some toxic aspects to our culture that contribute to our population being more likely to commit crimes. We are hyper individualist, and more violent across all socioeconomic levels.
Shodan port scans most of the internet and records the response, TLS certificates, etc. They have a search engine and tools like monitoring so you can run queries like “find anything where the certificate has this key (or organization name)” or “notify me any time a new port opens on my organization’s network.

You don't need a facebook account to be tracked and to have a profile made of you. All your contacts have uploaded your contact information (Name + Phone Number) to whatsapp, facebook and instagram among others without your consent.

With your first sentence I thought you realized this much, but then your second one doesn't make sense. Yes this response is purely lawyer speak and PR exactly because you don't control your data. Everyone on the Internet wants as much data as they can possibly grab.
By talking about privacy you clearly present that you are aware of and agree with the concept of the law. Once you're on the street it's also out of control, but we have some enforced rules of behavior on them, so you don't get murdered for your keys. Copyright contract isn't any different than any other law, and numbers and their copy-ability have nothing to do with that, because you also have natural murderability, which someone could freely exercise. It's a contract, not the law of nature, which you must respect. If you think otherwise and still expect relative safety on the street, isn't that just a one-sided view?
Not without a warrant.

Something that I find very interesting is how the individual lawsuits will end. I remember (but can't find) a David vs Goliath case from some time ago, where a user brought Google to the small claims court. He won the case in that venue, but subsequently lost when Google followed up an brought a huge amount of documentation and won. The guy's conclusion was that Google knows _a lot_ of stuff and can leverage it; I think that the events could play similarly, here.
