Oh yeah, that would be awesome. I’ve searched for a proper tkl layout in laptops. There’s the current layout in Frame.work which is think is probably the worst, then current Macbook, then finally HP Omen (tkl) (but its kind of a shitty laptop).

> [...] having real work be tossed in the garbage is [...] demoralizing [...]

This happened to me a few years ago. I got assigned to work on a small greenfield project solo. I had virtually full creative control, and it would solve a real imminent problem for the team. Sounds like a dream project, right? And it was for the ~1 month or so I worked on it, got positive feedback from the team, etc. However, with a stroke of a (figurative) pen, the project's no longer needed and was scrapped. The manager found more money in the team's budget.

I can't say I disagreed with the decision: often it _is_ better to just throw money to make a problem go away. I felt bummed out nonetheless. _That_ I could live with, but getting dinged for "being unproductive for a month" during performance review, now that really stung.

My story might have a happy ending though. A few months ago the same problem resurfaced, this time due to a different, company-wide constraint. The lead dev solicited solutions, and I couldn't help but feel a bit smug inside when I said "um, remember that project I worked on a few years ago? I basically have your solution on a platter." We'll see: who knows maybe the manager will somehow carve out an exception for our team. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I remember him talking about eating a small piece of bread and feeling like I was part of the grand universe. He’s got amazing perspective.
Kleen Kanteen sells non-insulated metal bottles as well; I've used them for this purpose (not sleeping, but holding against my body to help stay warm in a cool room). Bonus: once the temperature drops far enough you can also drink it for a quick internal thermal boost, if needed.
> The parts of economics that are valuable are not based on econometrics, but upon reasoning from first principles: Incentives, supply and demand, game theory etc. under which I would argue all of your examples fall.

So how do you confirm these first principles? I'd argue that those are an even wider door to let your biases flow into the analysis. I mean this type of argument has given us trickle down economics which has significant real world evidence it doesn't work.

Which blood disorder?
What utter nonsense from the Economist. Can't believe I used to read it nearly religiously back in college.

Having this stance gets me a lot of flak from my liberal-leaning friends but here goes:

What kind of cognitive dissonance does it take to look at the graph where there are now 3x times more kids born out of wedlock, and try to spin something positive out of it, like "no fault divorce policies makes the situation suck slightly less during the divorce proceedings"

This is a complete disaster not only for the children, who are now falling behind peers in nuclear households, but for society as a whole as well, since it teaches people that nothing is ever their fault, including important commitments like creating a family unit and raising a child in a complex world.

If you're going to sing praises to cooperation and mediation, how about you try to get people to do that during marriage? You know, to reconcile their differences and stay together for the sake of raising a well-adapted future member of society. Honestly, no matter how you look at it, divorce is overall net-negative and usually a negative for most parties, except one (usually, the lawyers)

Is it any wonder that Asians excel in western society, coming from a cultural norm of keeping the family together at all costs?

Clothes are a small source of CO2 emissions compared to transportation and electricity.

> Just as the pandemic accelerated global cooperation and change

No, cooperation has gotten worse. Look at how many countries want to repatriate industries so they're not dependent on others.

> Today I do all my shopping considering what it would be like to burn it. Car shopping would be so much fun.

I'll just leave that one there.

Trash isn't that expensive to get rid of, and, at least the US, isn't running short on places to store it. I have no idea why clothes in poor condition are still worth shipping to developing countries unless charities just feel really committed to doing something.
"The maps are still a taboo topic in Russia today, so it’s impossible to know for sure, but what they’re finding suggests that the Soviet military maps were far more than an invasion plan. Rather, they were a framework for organizing much of what the Soviets knew about the world, almost like a mashup of Google Maps and Wikipedia"

Thanks, I've had a good laugh.
The maps were declassified in late 1980's/early 1990's and since then are freely available.
I, from Russia, have been browsing these maps online for years.

I've heard the phrase too poor to work thrown around a lot.

The idea is that, in a lot of places, unskilled wages don't pay enough for a single bedroom and commute so you have to work two jobs.

If you're going to love in poverty either way, why keep the job

obviously not killing people.

I'm just demoralized that low birth rates are stigmatized as they are correlated with lower GDP, when low birth rates are somewhat of a godsend in times like these.

Then nations with low birth rates scramble to find ways to up the birth rates despite understanding the C02 cost.

It's ironic, really.
NATO also had such plans. That's the end of no story.
It is difficult to break it down to one all-encompasing "happiness" variable:

There is happiness, satisfaction, stress, purpose … etc all which can be desirable in their own way and still conflict.

A study by the social psychologist Roy Baumeister and his colleagues found that the more time people spent taking care of children, the more meaningful they said their life was—even though they reported that their life was no happier.

I'm sure clothing and footwear profits from slavery and child labor and general exporting of poor working conditions and environmental standards as many other industries have done with globalization, and however connected to the "fashion" industry that is I guess. Are there other problems with it?

My mind would have gone to energy, war industry, tech, banking, news media, chemical, health and pharmaceutical, and probably a lot of others before I thought of fashion though if I was thinking of societal cost.

How do you gauge what is a good and bad proportion of billionaires for an industry, and what kind of societal cost do you think the fashion industry might have?

Welcome to Shenzhen, OH
Constitutional freedoms in Canada are different, and more limited (though this is subjective, a massive door is left open to any limits that may be “justified in a free and democratic society”… so no guarantees). For me, its been a bit shocking at how blatant the Federal and Provincial governments have disregarded them during COVID without compelling evidence: large-scale Provincial border closures, blanket curfews, an effective entrance tax (mandatory two day quarantine hotel paid up front, even when vaxxed and returning to an empty home), mass data collection by health authorities with no privacy oversight, vax requirements even for essential businesses (in Quebec), etc.

There have been a few surprising individual cases like this as well, e.g. a man in Quebec (IIRC) losing visitation rights since he is not vaxxed, a man in Alberta being ordered by the court to say specific things about vaccines, etc.

Unfortunately, even when challenged, the couple cases I paid attention to found judges biased towards allowing government action (even when no real evidence is available to support that, just vague public health justifications) since they must only determine that it is “justified in a free and democratic society” and it’s not a charter violation. More saddening is the fact that these measures are broadly popular, and I’m sure most of my friends and family don’t even see these are a fundament impingement of their rights.

I agree that re-adjudicating cases would be costly and would not be perceived as fair even if it were righting a wrong.

That said, instead of changing individual decisions you can punish the state for outcomes whether they be intended or unintended. Disparate impact (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disparate_impact) is one such tool the courts are already familiar with. There's more nuance to that which can't be ignored - a person can sue an entity for disparate impact but disparate impact is also calculated regularly with respect to lending. The same could be done for custody.
It can still be anti Semitic because you need to compare with the base rate of a peer institution that does not have anti Semitic recruitment practices. Comparing with the overall population is a fallacy.

I buy mostly luxury brands however there are quite a few tricks with it.

Buying luxury off the rack at a well known store is almost always a bad financial decision.

I stick primarily to lesser known brands that still maintain good quality. I almost always buy used with just a few exceptions.

this is known as faceted search https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faceted_search

on edit: I remember Carrot2 had the ability to derive categories from an index dynamically at one point, so when we put all the Danish laws into it and you searched for murder it generated categories such as Knife Murder etc. anyway here is the online Carrot2 with a search on Scheme https://search.carrot2.org/#/search/web/scheme/folders

on edit2: obviously this Carrot2 online thing is just a demo, they don't have a particularly big or up to date index. I'm also not sure how well Carrot2 would scale as it was, IIRC, an academic project to investigate different ways of searching / organizing search results. Check out the treemap.
In these cases you could also ask for a 50x price as the “enterprise option”. Filling a compliance form is not just a nuisance, you could take in some liability, so decline it or make sure it’s compensated accordingly.

Isn't the typical first principles argument that lowering taxes for the companies etc. pays for itself because of increased economic activity and thus tax income actually increases. Why could the same not apply for UBI?
During my time there it grew massively and went public. A company with 1,000 engineers is always going to be different from one with 10,000.

The scope of work narrowed a lot. There was a shift to focus on review cycles instead did shipping cool stuff and avoiding being crushed by competitors like Google. Towards the end I fell into the trap of fixating on perf reviews and came close to burning myself out after switching roles.

Even in the era that I enjoyed, I met people who had a bad experience. Either due to projects that didn't pan out, bad managers, or just not being a good fit for the culture.
Apathy is the same as malice when done by politicians who are supposed to represent everyone, not just the 1% in their district/city/state
> As far as the evolving science on what has to happen, well, it’s a rapidly changing situation. If someone had said at the start of the vaccine schedule, “hey, there’s going to be an incredibly infectious strain in late 2021 that will render vaccines much less effective”, maybe they would have mandated three shots up front. But they didn’t know that, and so when the first round of vaccine trial results came back with a 90%+ efficacy rates, I remember there were people arguing that those numbers were TOO effective, and we should reduce the volume of the second dose or remove it entirely in order to vaccinate more people. Good thing we didn’t do that.

But then governments and businesses started to mandate the vaccines, even though they had no clear vision of the future, while there already were signs of lowered efficacy and side effects. It's all cool as long as it is voluntary with a focus on risk/benefit ratios, but as of now, people are demonizing others who want to wait for a clearer picture. Since all that new science regarding efficacy, side effects and natural immunization is bubbling up now, I am sure that anyone who tried to force the vaccine on others will be deemed pretty reckless soon.

Who would support Rwanda-style forced vaccinations for example?

Nothing to do with it. Since around 2018, Google is no longer searching for the keywords a user inputted into the search box, it's running them through an AI that rewrites them to maximize ad yield.

Google's results for nearly every query are the pages that contain the most Adsense. That's how most results became "Best X in $CurrentYear" and top 10 listicles.

Google is going to slowly lose the powerusers first, and then like what happened to Metacrawler, Dogpile and Altavista, the decline will be RAPID as they convert their families and friends.

Why not try a micro approach, 1024 pin sized probes that make an end point connection to the scalp. Most EEGs I have seen have probes the size of a coin. Is there a reason for this?

>Because it causes unneeded worry until the studies actually show causation rather than weak correlation and there is so much misinformation out there already.

You know, the studies can show anything other than the party line only if there is
a culture of questioning the party line. Otherwise, the scholars are publishing praises to planned economy and condemning the "rotting West" while the plebs are queueing for bread. That was the fucking state of affairs in the USSR for decades, and the only reason the West didn't sink that low is that it had the culture of questioning the narrative, that so many people today are trying to destroy.
It's a rather standard tech company model: you build a product so good it becomes indispensable, then you stick the customers in a vice and squeeze until all the money comes out. "Produce the best search results" hasn't been the guiding principle for a good decade now.

"Not growing is failing" is the most toxic principle of modern business. There is a finite amount of people, of money to be made. Ever-increasing income is fundamentally impossible. When you can't increase revenue by further improving your product, you increase revenue by making the same product more profitable, which generally means a worse product. In the eyes of the business major, the ideal business is one in which all of your customers hate you not quite enough to stop using you.

TOML made an unfortunate decision by not enforcing lack of indentation. Now people who don't understand it but really should (gitlab is one prominent example) are doing horrors like this:

@resoluteteeth - Nothing shady about Airgami.

Airgami passed NIOSH N95 pre-certification tests as performed by the accredited independent test lab, Nelson Labs. Air99 has never advertised Airgami as a NIOSH-approved N95. We have several disclaimers on our website to that effect. Please read them.

That said, Airgami is made with a top-quality, USA made, electrostatic melt-blown filter that Nelson Labs measured at a worst-case PFE of 98.3% and a median PFE of 99.8%.

When comparing filter size vs. other respirators, the mask in our picture is an average size KN95 mask. The picture was taken pre-pandemic when the KN95ers were falsely labeling their masks N95.

Regardless, the size of those masks is relatively constant, and that's what we are comparing in that picture ... filter size, not filter efficiency. Nothing deceptive about the picture. I'm sure the filter efficiency of the Airgami mask was far higher than the KN95 it was being compared against in that picture. Whether it's an N95, KN95, or counterfeit, the size is going to be roughly constant for boat-style, cup-style, or other style.

If we compare filter sizes vs. 3M Aura, for example, the Arigami filter is still significantly larger. Aaron "Mask Nerd" Collins measured Aura pressure drop at ~0.25 inches H2O vs. 0.17 inches H2O for Airgami, which is about a 30% difference in breathing resistance. It's no wonder many Airgami users say it is the most breathable mask they have ever worn.

Is affluence having things or having work? One of the first big and important sectors for developing nations is tailoring as it is a manufacturing sector that everyone has a need for and requires minimal skill and material. Dumping huge amounts of unwanted clothing on relatively poor countries effectively eliminates one of the most important rungs on the development ladder.

Interviews are by definition a legal way to discriminate.

Maybe for some women minorities, but this is not a universal perspective. The most successful people I know are all women and/or minorities/immigrants.
> low birth rates are stigmatized as they are correlated with lower GDP

You have this backwards
You just use the Java standard library to do everything, and the Java runtime handles keeping them namespaced. At some point (right around the dot-com crash) everyone switched away from Java (because Python was free) and that resulted in using POSIX to do everything. No more namespacing. Then people wanted to scale, and, viola! Docker.
I don't buy it. The technology to fight SEO gaming and filter bad results has been around for a while and is only getting better, but google is getting greedy and sloppy. Google has mind-blowing AI/machine learning capabilities and I didn't see shit about cleaning up search results in their last update. They could fix this if they wanted, and an upstart company that figures it out will eat google's lunch. Google makes an insane amount of profit, and a search engine that actually works may make less but would still be profitable.
Related: I read in the Economist a few years ago that for international couples, there is a first-mover advantage. The person initiating the divorce can decide to file in any country: the country where they have citizenship, the one where their spouse has citizenship, or the one where they got married. By shopping for the most favorable jurisdiction, they can turn the divorce to their advantage. I hope I'm never in a position to use this knowledge!
