> After all, a substantial majority of Republicans continue to believe that the 2020 election was "stolen"

And your basis for this "fact" is? The media? Do you actually talk to average Republicans, or only the ones who like media exposure?

Out here in the real world only a minority of Republicans believe this, but it's a vocal minority, who love the media exposure. You are a victim of exactly what I'm advocating against.

Moderate Republicans greatly outnumber the extreme ones, but the extreme ones are getting all the attention.
I'd never heard that one, that's amazing. Who's the "we" you speak of?

Even if that is the case, SFH for being stupid not interest rates for being low is the proper scapegoat.

The rest of the inflation is due to pandemic-related supply side dysfunction, and fossil fuels which are even more subject to random things like OPEC whims.

Raising rates to bring down SFH prices and not reforming the SFH system would be colossally stupid.
Where I'm at, which is a near faang, previously I was working at one and had offers from them, it's not about time, it's about working on multiple projects with significant accomplishments, a mixture of leader and IC usually, but you can still code today. Even if I admit to myself it's harder to code these days :-)

I also see people really early in career 10;years getting principal jobs and I think that's just from competition.
I believe you, but that's surprising. I've generally had my well-roundedness very well-received.

> There are other viruses like this as well (ones that most people get/have but aren't dangerous). I was on one medication where I needed to be tested monthly because if I got one particular (normally harmless) virus, the suppression caused by the medication meant I would probably die.

For those curious, I’m going to guess and say this might’ve been Tysabri (natalizumab) and that the virus in question is JCV (John Cunningham virus). After approximately two years on Tysabri, people who test positive for JCV antibodies (approx half the population of the US) have an extremely high chance of developing an often-fatal brain infection called PML (Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy).

Tysabri was originally pulled by the FDA due to PML deaths back in the early 2000s, but later got reapproved after the link to JCV was discovered. Nowadays patients get tested for JCV antibodies every 6 months. The treatment is considered quite safe now, with the caveat that if you test positive you cannot get Tysabri anymore. Most people don’t switch from negative to positive, but it happens occasionally.

Hey - I don't know if you'll read this, but I was thinking this through given the ongoing launch of this feature by Microsoft, and a comment I was making regarding text communication on another thread.

I understand that this could be a particular problem because so many people communicate purely by text nowadays; writing emails or documents to send to others.

In that context -- where it's unlikely the sender will notice the reaction of the recipient, and may be difficult for the recipient to call out the sender on their behaviour, a feature like this makes a lot of sense (thanks for causing me to think this through).
that's exactly the problem - when the model and the scene doesn't reflect reality, the whole thing breaks down.

Perception and modeling is everything, policy is nearly trivial in comparison, until you get to L4+
No, you are wrong and you don't know how peer reviewing works.

Reputable journals and other publication outlets use something called "Double Blind peer review" precisely to prevent that the reputation of a researcher could skew the peer review process.

If you want to review and cast a judgement for the points presented in the article, you should do it only by refuting or confirming the content of the text itself. Not because it was written by Einstein or Donald Trump.
Microsoft have done a lot of working attempting to make every windows C/C++ API available for use in Rust. This task is/was too big to do by hand (and sensitive to changes) so they have automated it. See: https://github.com/microsoft/windows-rs
Interestingly, I found this scholarly article [0] claiming that is actually a misunderstanding of the text of the GPLv2, and an ahistorical reading/discussion of this problem.

For example, here is a citation they have from the (then) chief lawyer of the FSF:

> TiVo is a provider of hardware and software …. Our concern with them is that they have rights as users, but they should respect the rights of the users to whom they sell. Having a personal video recorder … which won't run software if you modify the box … is not user-respecting conduct. (TiVo) complied with GPL 2 by the skin of its teeth.

On the other hand, it seems it is actually pretty hard right now to tell what exactly TiVo was preventing at the time. There are some articles, like the one you cited, that claim TiVo devices would check the signature of the kernel and other software, and refuse to run their own proprietary software. However, other articles (some cited in this paper) claim that in fact TiVo devices would not boot a modified kernel. This seems more plausible to me, given the FSF's reaction and additional langauge added to GPLv3 specifically to prevent what TiVo was doing - modifications which would prohibit the latter case but not the former (were the kernel to ever adopt GPLv3).

To make a crude but I think apt analogy, the boom in remote work is like Tinder opening up the dating market. If you are the hot item, you now have a vastly larger number of suitors to choose from and can up your standards. Before, things were much more geographically constrained and the market was less efficient.

They have bank accounts everywhere. They just avoid transferring money between them in the first place. As long as an even amount of money is going in each direction, they won’t have to.

Only if flow gets too out of whack but that means their rates are too one-sided.

That’s the forex business in a nutshell. They don’t convert money, they just exchange it.

For 3) it's a bit more complex than what you described.

Mortgages are generally securitized. High level, a pool of unrelated mortgages (think different parts of the US, different types of borrowers, different credit ratings) are packaged up together and then split into different tranches. Say you have tranches AAA-B. These different tranches are sold to different parties with different risk appetites.

Each tranche has a set interest rate, and AAA will have the lowest, and B the highest. Say like 2.5% for AAA and 7.2% for B. AAA is the most "senior" and B the most "junior".

When borrowers pay back their monthly payments, first the interest gets distributed to AAA->B, then all the excess goes back paying the principal of AAA. Once AAA is fully paid back (say 5 years later for a 30 year loan), the AAA bondholders no longer care about the mortgage, and the excess gets paid towards AA principal (then A, BBB etc). This keeps going on until every tranche gets fully paid back.

By structuring it this way it's "almost impossible" for the more senior bondholders to realize a loss.

Obviously there is more risk for B bondholders (given they are being paid 7.2% interest). So in this case, losses in mortgages are borne by B principal holders until they get exhausted.

Zooming back into the pre-payment risk, it's entirely possible that prepayments/refinances will allow the more junior tranchess to avoid as much principal loss as expected while picking up that juicy yield. (note when the yield for more junior bonds are 7.2%, anyone buying these already planned for some amount of realized losses)

They were certainly capable of measuring the height. The tools have been known since antiquity. They couldn't build something like this without them.

And they were definitely competing with each other to build the tallest and most spectacular cathedral. There wasn't an official record book, but the architects were always aware of who was claiming to be tallest. If they didn't want to take the claim for granted, it was easy enough to go measure it yourself.

Just for one example: Ulm Minster was specifically designed to be taller than the one at Cologne:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulm_Minster

It's actually a little ungainly-looking for that. The tower is out of proportion to the rest of it.

It wasn't just cathedrals. They were doing the same things with bell towers. The Leaning Tower of Pisa doesn't need to be that tall -- and if they'd built a more reasonably-sized tower, it would have been more stable.
Maybe this will be hugely impopular, but in addition to the three causes mentioned, isn't it possible that one cause actually comes from developers simply not performing?

If comparing to sports, in a team, is it always the coach's fault? Or is it possible that one player is not performing as expected? Is it then the coach's issue that he/she didn't expect that?
Having written a couple papers myself, I think it's entirely fair to release the code as is. Code written for research purposes is obviously not suitable for production but can still serve as a great tool for others to understand and build upon your work.
Try a game like Factorio or Satisfactory. Even just Minecraft can be good enough to train their problem solving and critical thinking skills.

They don't need to start with redstone to learn to code. They should play the game and naturally realize that redstone is a way to solve their problem (like making an automatic sliding 2x2 door) and then solve it.

I feel like those skills will take you much further in life because now you have an extra tool to solve problem no matter what field you end up going into. And since programming is so powerful, it's often one of the best tools for the job so kids will naturally pick it up.

I selected other. I was working in the Air Transport Industry as the pandemic kicked off. Three months in we started having weekly meetings to "update" us on the situation, saying the company has money to weather the storm, expecting that storm to be just a couple of months at the time. Then there was the call for voluntary redundancies, reduced hours, discontinuation of bonuses, reduction of benefits. Once that talk started, I decided I wasn't going to hang around. I've seen situations like this play out before and this time I didn't want to be part of it. One night, a recruiter on LinkedIn slid into my DMs with a position that I was interested in. Two weeks later I had an offer on the table and accepted. Now I'm happily working in the Video Games industry.
One of the most interesting changes to me is how much they are pushing metaprogramming into the language itself _without_ a lot of the traditional annotations that went with TMP before.

For example, annotating a parameter with 'auto' instead of the typename T preamble.
> Similarly you can't really do what you want with it. You better keep it cream and beige coloured! And that's all you can buy. No one builds small homes or castles. Just identical units. Everyone must have a lawn, it must be one of three shades of green and cut correctly etc.

Don't ever buy in a HOA area! That is the nightmare you describe.

No HOA in our neighborhood, so while all the houses were the same shade of beige with the same lawn when the developer built the area, over the years as people have repainted and redone yards it has become wonderfully colorful with each house having unique character.
I refuse to use paypal for any nontrivial amounts of money for this exact reason. I once had $10k frozen for no reason at all. I really needed that money back then. Was an absolute nightmare and took weeks to unfreeze.

The only thing I now trust for "quick" payments of larger amounts of money is bank wire.

Cryptocurrencies don't exactly solve this problem since you need to convert back to the fiat currency and you then have exchange rate volatility + withdrawal delays (and crypto exchanges also are notorious for freezing withdrawals).
The really ridiculous thing is that we're expected to "explain it like I'm 5" to smart computer hackers who don't know biology and constantly try to poke holes in mainstream science without taking the time to understand the complexity and subtlety in that field.
This is the wrong forum to ask this question because the audience here is mostly in favor of open disclosure of information and open source licensing of code, which always comes at a cost to someone. For example, publishing your code may have significant impact on whether or not you can obtain ownership protection of your inventions/discoveries. If you are interested in protecting these interests, then you should consult with an intellectual property lawyer.
Uncomfortable/unpopular reasons:

1. More money, companies are throwing money at engineers
2. Companies are having trouble hiring and it's getting easier to get a job
3. Inflation concerns, need more money
4. Most jobs suck (I work at 4 companies now and have worked at 30 companies in my 10 year career)
5. Retiring early, read reason 4. Working for a company sucks.
Great question. Here's the answer: No.
If you were a peer reviewer for a reputable journal (double blind peer reviewing process), you would not need neither the name nor the credentials of the person submitting an article. Actually, scientists and editors would laugh at you for asking for that.
Outrageous behavior is being glorified because it drives clicks.

So many of these Alex Jones wannabe 'anti-maskers invade a store protesters', schoolboard meeting ravers get publicized because they get people fired up and drive clicks and ad revenue.

It's normalizing that the way to handle disagreement is to act out.

I'm sorry to say that this onslaught of terrible behavior isn't because people are tired of lockdowns, it's because it's great for driving ad traffic & getting $ from voters.

In extreme cases, one could imagine a module running a full headless browser on the back-end, pretending to be a user scrolling around and clicking stuff, while presenting the actual user with a clean front-end.

I am renting right now with a shitty do-nothing landlord, and in a dispute over maintainence --- the boiler is leaking and smoking up my apartment. I am under no such illusions.

Landlords maintain power through the restriction of supply. They don't need to actively do it, the single-family-home complex does it for them.

Land value tax (+ land use regulation reform) demolishes that. Appartment management, divorced from land speculation, will become the boring low-margin business it deserves to be.

Sorry for deleting, after I posted I couldn't decide if it is good to put that out there or not so I decided to pull it back, but it looks like you got the info needed out of it.

I really appreciate the kind words. I was thinking similar things about the people from the grocery store - when I worked menial jobs I would get stressed over silly things. I think that is just my personality type. I think I need to quit taking the job and myself so seriously.

I really need to start working out, I'm sure that would make a huge difference in my mental health. I'm sure going cold-turkey off prOn would also help with some mental health healing as well.

I'm bipolar to boot which makes these decisions harder to make since I can't decide if I am being rational or over-reacting to something. I think trying somewhere new could be beneficial. I've been at this company for nearly 7 years which is a damn long time in the software industry.

Thanks again, cheers!
> The ordinance basically presumes a context of continuous, 24 hour surveillance or access thereto.

I definitely agree with everything that you wrote but real-time continuous facial recognition is going to be here sooner rather than later. In the context of reforming this ordinance, it makes sense to just assume it's available. To me anyway.
Statistics are funny. The odds of being hit by a piece of space junk has been calculated to 1 in 21 trillion. And yet [1]. The more adamant someone is about lab origins of SARS-Cov-2, in absence of all evidence, while at the same time calling it "sort of ridiculous" to believe that virus passed naturally from animals from humans (like every other virus ever), the less credibility they have and which is not in the remotest sense increased by being featured in the New York Post.

One thing to consider is that some of the folks looking for less intensity at work are hoping to shift that intensity into hobbies or other endeavors. I think and hope the example this would set is more along the lines of: do whatever you need to make enough money to sustain yourself and maximize the time you have to live life and explore what the things you're curious about. This might work especially well if you'd prefer pursuing your passions as a hobby instead of a career.

Less intensity shouldn't necessarily mean the product is half-assed, though, so I think I understand your perspective.
Also, as a Norwegian, risks related to refinancing in the case of a falling interest rate don't exist. Mortgages are floating-rate by default. If you enter a fixed interest rate contract, you are on the hook for the entire interest difference of the duration of the fixed rate contract if you terminate the contract.

10 year fixed rate contract, loan of 1 million and the rate falls from 3% to 2% on the second day of the contract -- if you terminate the contract now, you owe the bank 1% of the sum of whatever your loan balance would have been during each of the next 10 years.

To be fair, you get the opposite deal if the interest rate rises.
Good points, but you're missing something: the web platform is incredibly and intrinsically complex, and any complete implementation is going to necessarily also be complex and consume a minimum amount of resources. I would need to see some empirical evidence that this minimum amount is low enough so as to not be noticeable on 10-year-old hardware.

That is - just because Electron will get faster with some optimization doesn't mean that it's possible to become enough faster while still completely implementing the various web specifications.
I take your point that Veritasium himself did not analyze the scenario as a transmission line, and he would probably have been clearer if he had done so. Also, in several places here, you say that you took him as saying this or that, and if that is how you (and probably others) saw it, then he could have been clearer by anticipating and explicitly addressing those concerns. In addition, it was probably a mistake to present it as an issue of whether a bulb of the sort he showed would light up, given how many people got distracted by that detail. Therefore, I accept that the video could have been clearer, but I still see no reason at all to accuse Veritasium of being deliberately misleading.

On the other hand, the thing about the chain analogy is that it is not "nonsense", as you put it, to point out that it is not the complete picture in general, it is not an "exact" intuition, and, most relevantly here, that it completely fails to explain what happens in this case in the period of interest, prior to the arrival of the reflected wave back to the origin and the establishment of a steady state. Furthermore, one can not get the correct answers - or the correct intuitions, for that matter - from any model that assumes the energy flows only where the charges are moving (this was a roadblock in understanding electromagnetism which was broken by Maxwell introducing the displacement current.)

Therefore, Veritasium had good pedagogical reasons for saying that the chain model is not accurate and for introducing the Poynting vector. As I pointed out in my previous post, your previous post consisted of a series of points in which you were saying, in effect, that Veritasium was correct, and if you want to reverse course on that now, I think you owe us an explanation of how the chain model explains what happens in the first second after the switch is turned on.
Applies to learning foreign languages too. I've spoken to many people that want to "learn Spanish" without having a clue that it's a huge grind to get to basic competency.

Yeah not trying to convince you to go, because I go pretty rarely myself. I will say they have recliner chairs here with lots of spacing between chairs (and we are a smaller city, so we are the last to get things), pre-assigned seating, food & beer/wine/etc. It's really a decent experience, like I said the only thing I find lacking is the actual picture quality itself now that I have a 4k TV at home.
