You have to fund it, simple as that. Tenure is granted to professors who get grants. Grants are gotten by publishing papers. Papers are published by conducting novel research.

One thing we could do is mandate that some portion of all grant money has to be given to independent researchers who will work to confirm your findings. I could imagine some downsides to doing this, but at least it would put money in play.

Also, another problem is that the people doing research are usually grad students working toward a Ph.D.. No one wants to do a Ph.D. confirming someone else's results. You'd need some other workforce to do the work of reproducing research. Again, doable but there needs to be money allocated for this task.
Also ventilation. Underground spaces can accumulate toxic levels of methane/co2/etc that will incapacitate you before you realize whats happening.
to get real fiat/cash (not tether) you need an exchange, or meet someone on the street I guess (but you might get held up or something that way).

Hence my snippet “a lot more complexity in designing the site and building it” in the comment above. That developers need to take on the additional complexity of deciding what to do can be a burden (as compared to the ones that do everything at build time).
Rents have risen so much even outside big cities that in some cases it's cheaper to just buy a Single Family Home (SFH), especially with low mortgage rates. In my area, it costs around $1600 to rent a 2BR2BA apartment in a good complex (no garage). 3BRs easily $1700+. SFH $1800+.

A basic 1800 sqft 3BR 20 year old SFH with a 2 car garage is like $365K in the same area with 8+ rated schools. Its even lower if you don't care about schools. This brings your monthly PITI+HOA ex-utilities to like $1600 a month at 20% down (slightly higher now with interest rates going above 3.5%). Nice 2500 sqft ones at $450K.

This is all in the past year. It wasn't this expensive to rent compared to buying pre-pandemic. My apartment rent went up like 15% when I renewed.
Introduction – QueueRun
Where does all this narrative come from? It is a complete revision of what I remember from the time.

> outside of the normal departments

Why is it superior to do it outside 'normal departments'? The CDC is the leading organization in the world for dealing with disease outbreaks and has handled them worldwide. The administration-appointed leadership didn't do well, and then was undermined by political appointees and the White House, who interfered with decisions and communication, in part to prevent any bad news or anything that contradicted Trump's misinformation.

My understanding from the time was that Kushner was a disaster - in part due to being someone with no experience getting a tryout in a generational crisis - and that they created the outside organization to funnel funds to their friends, many of whom got contracts and were completely incompetent. As I understand it, what we got was despite Trump administration, not because of them.

Edit: Also, part of Trump's solution was to pressure and outspend others to acquire vaccines from European companies, in a horrible zero-sum struggle.

> To stand up an organization like this outside of the normal departments and to give it the political backing it needed.

That's easy to do. What is hard is making it effective.

> distribution logistics problems

Distribution was a disaster. Remember in January 2021 the Trump administration was promising a large supply of vaccines that didn't actually exist, and in fact nobody knew how many vaccines we had.

Despite nine months or more of time to prepare, no national vaccine tracking infrastructure was ready. Individual counties were trying to develop and deploy their own, of course with terrible results.

Also, Trump was denying distribution to states whose governors didn't praise him - he actually blackmailed California's governor (and others), requiring them to publicly praise him in order to receive vaccines.

These are just the things I remember off the top of my head.

And if people get rich with just a bit of hard work, that's a convenient kudgel to beat poor people over the head with. Clearly, they were too lazy or stupid to get rich.

It kind of all falls apart when even the relatively wealthy (like me) recognize there isn't much reason for them to be so much more successful than the people they grew up with.

Never seen a silicon valley tech company on MS office products. Airbnb, Coinbase, Dropbox, Lyft, Uber, Facebook etc use Gsuite, slack, zoom.

MS teams only comes up when you talk to lawyers, accountants etc more legacy or enterprise companies.

I’d think there is something wrong if I see a tech company on MS office. Either they are clueless or they want to save costs.
Most people need a down payment to buy a home. Most renters don't have enough to make a down payment, I imagine.

> Gleason went solo into the clairvoyant business.

This reminds me of the pickup artist scene and digital persuasion behavioral engineering: trying to sell some "revolutionary", "secret" form of human manipulation. The equivalent of a Love Potion No. 9.

I guess we're talking about a time of greater ignorance when the supernatural and "spirituality" were taken for-granted.

Nowadays, it seems like NLP-ridiculous, psychobabble, fortuneteller magic. Certainly, charismatic cult leaders exist and appear to project an ability to influence people.

Anecdotally and qualitatively, there does seems to be a phenomenon where respected, older, attractive men of higher relative status are able to influence groups of younger women. It may be the exploitation of competitive human nature to seek the approval and favor of the desired object. I've seen it in social and work situations.

Examples:

- A pleasant chat with most of an NCAA D1/D2 womens' sports team.

- Leading a tour of mostly ladies.

- Work meetings or groups where, again, it's mostly ladies and/or younger people. When facilitating, I shut my trap except to ask questions, coax the more junior members and shy ones to speak-up if they have something. If only the competitive talkers take all the space, the others maybe biased to those views, resent not having a voice, or give-up on participation.

- Being the only dude in a given situation.

I wouldn't call it "mesmerism," maybe "crush compliance" or "competitive social behavior."

Static sites are nice from a deployment perspective, but CMS's make a lot of things easier than static site generators do. Seems like there's room to have the best of both worlds

thank you, that was my experience too.

as a web developer, my primary concern is the users who provide content for a site (including myself).

i have only actively worked with hugo myself and i was disappointed by its complexity.

there are only a few situations where a static site generator is helpful.

one is a distributed team of teach-savy volunteers. here it means that i can submit occasional changes to a site as a patch.

however, the group of people that will benefit from this is limited. and the benefit does not come from the fact that the site is made with an SSG but that the content is stored in a text based revision control system. the friction in such a situation is access control and not deployment. one could easily imagine a dynamic site that pulls its contents from a text based source and still get the same benefits.
Is this a consequence of demand, or is this a consequence of private equity buying up rental units and manipulating pricing?

Hypothetically: Let’s say you manufacture Volkswagens, and your small engine diesels include a defeat device that allows your cars to pass emissions tests by enabling pollution controls only during emission tests.

When the world learns of your treachery, you sponsor scientific research in which monkeys are exposed to your modern VW diesel tail pipe emissions and also model year 1990s Ford diesel fumes, to show that you’re really pretty harmless compared to old pickup trucks. Your research is trash, the conclusions meaningless, and scientists cash your checks.

> but I cannot switch from Google's gmail, docs and drive to anything.

Until you:

- Use Google Drive and its subpar desktop experience of sync'n files (OneDrive is far worse, but Dropbox+MS Office beats it out)

- Experience Gmail's hostile user stance against non-Google calendaring. (1) Automatically creating Google Meets for every invite (or did they fix this recently?) and (2) the terrible formatting that gets sent to non Google-based accounts that gives me the "fingers on the chalkboard" feeling every time it gets sent to my O365 based email.

> I hate MS login page and endless redirects between their services

100% agree.

> Also I have feeling that MS account is more "formal", idk how to explain it.

Agreed. And I feel like anyone who sends me email/cal invites from GSuite are essentially amateurish. Can't explain it either.
The balance sheet would only make westerners miss a beat if they aren't aware of the balance sheet of the alternative, roads and cars, which is an order magnitude worse pound for pound.
"Authoritarian", like a lot of words, can have multiple meanings.

It's a moral condemnation. It also can mean someone using authority to coerce people.

I agree with you that Neil Young ought not to be accused of either of these. He obviously has the moral right to control his own creations. He obviously doesn't have the authority to get rid of Rogan, based on what just happened. He obviously doesn't have the power to completely shut up Rogan.

However, what seems true to me is that he disagrees with actions and speech of other people and has chosen not to try to convince them of his opinions through speech, but to fight them by other means.

This fact pattern seems to me like a possible definition of "authoritarian" that some people could be using, without the other baggage.
You mean to say that this text that forms a simulation in the reader's brain is that simulation?
Which is fine.

The problem is when you would expect someone else to to have faith just because you do. Or equally, that you would expect someone to find an explanation compelling just because you did.

People who don't understand speak with conviction as if they do, but then resort to this chained together appeal to authority as their reasoning.
I am not saddened to see these services destroying themselves. They are draining their own moat and opening themselves up for disruption.
They seem to have backups. From the blogpost:

>I still have all the high-quality video files from all my Patreon/Vimeo uploads, but I'd rather not have to re-upload anything as well. The best part of posting a video on Patreon has always been reading your guys' comments, and deleting and re-uploading the videos would not only erase them, but also spam your inboxes with content you've already seen.

I think they should find a way to not pay the ransom for ethical reasons.
Static site generators generally only require tiny amounts of scripts to get going and you just write markdown. You can use pre-made themes so no knowledge of HTML or CSS needed.

Business website providers use CMSes with databases in part because they support full on WYSIWYG editors in the browser, among other things.
I'm holding out some hope that this mask behavior and associated paranoia (where it is unwarranted - I am fine with it when it is actually appropriate) doesn't royally screw up kids, but... it's tough.

Nobody seems to wants to study it in a scientific fashion because it's new, it's temporary, it's no big deal according to [unrelated previous data/assumptions].

You can find or hear uncountable anecdotes about older (but still young) kids feeling somehow wrong about not wearing masks, of infants screaming in "fear" when they see a full face without a mask, and all kinds of similar scary things. And since we as a society trust science and castigate anyone who doesn't, these anecdotes are absolutely useless trash because they weren't properly controlled or recorded.

Doesn't change when my friend's 4yo daughter broke into tears when she was told she didn't have to wear a mask at the zoo we were all visiting, because, in her words, "I hate if people see my mouth"

Ain't lookin' good from my perspective,.
Agreed. Does Texas have a lot of coal and nuclear?
This is getting meta. You're assuming everybody agrees on an authority that defines the word "authoritarian". But do we?
1. Isn't this a gap in the platform? I mean, shouldn't AWS automate this and alert (via AWS Config Rules/AWS Security Hub OR AWS Trusted Advisor) owners of these mis-configured resources?

The difference is that we don't own the means of production either. We're still workers.

> The magazine does have its own ideological slant.

Yes, that’s why I commented—it is easy to nerd out on long pieces like this, but the magazine that hosts it does not have a neutral and/or nerd POV (nerds aren’t necessarily neutral, but are perfectly willing to write long explainers out of sheer enthusiasm).

There’s fine information to be had here, and interesting points to debate about industrial policy writ large. But the magazine’s an organized intellectual undertaking intended to influence, and so close reading and critical thinking are warranted.
You're forgetting that the author of the article might not have your level of experience in computer science/engineering. And now you've added a sneering comment to their HN thread.

When interviewing a candidate, I always look for the willingness to admit "I don't know". Not knowing how to do something is not a defect. It's a sign someone is self aware of the bounds of their current knowledge. The differentiator is between someone that says "I don't know" and drops the problem there versus one that says "I don't know, but I'll figure it out". The former is useless to me. I want the latter person is of great desire to me: aware of their limits, but willing to work to grow beyond their current limits.

My counterpoint:

More than half the population doesn't use ad block when they browse the internet.

The mind boggles.

There is, clearly, an enormous gap between the Hackernews perception of Windows, and actual non-ad block using end users.

Microsoft is intrinsically following a pathway I've seen before with Reddit,

Reddit has two completely different value propositions to power users and the great unwashed.

Reddit has two modes, "new" reddit which is available by default, and the "official" Reddit mobile app. And "old" Reddit, which is buried in the settings menu, powered by a third party browser extension on desktops, alongside third party paid for mobile apps that use a Reddit API.

Microsoft to me is following the exact same strategy. They are screwballing "the internet explorer users" with Windows, and meanwhile they are creating a parallel, WSL enabled value proposition for power users.
