I'm highly underpaid for the same work.

A large part of the justification of using outsourced workers is that they live in an area with a lower cost of living than the company's headquarters, so they can be paid less while still having a good quality of life.

So comparing your salary to American workers doesn't really say anything about whether or not you're "underpaid", but it's how your salary compares to others in your area. If you just want to earn more money, you could move to the USA, but there's a cost associated with that (even ignoring the difficulty in getting a work visa) and you may find that your "1/4 salary" is worth more at home that it is in the USA.|

There are certainly a lot of employees that have moved away from the SF Bay Area to take a job in an area with a lower cost of living and even though they make significiantly less money, they still have a better quality of life (in particular, they can afford a house)

Absolutely.

For example, in a manual VW/Audi, you have to push the stick down, then way over into R.

I think part of the success of wordle was the network effect of having a single word to share your success or failure with everyone who's playing. For a group of friends you could probably get people to switch but there's still the wider population effect of the shared puzzle each day. That second is much harder for any copycats to replicate.
I kinda think of it as if you were writing an unofficial third party client for a black box remote API that doesn't want third party clients and can update all their official clients in days or weeks in different ways.

I've had DreamHost forever and Let's Encrypt is literally a check box on a domain. They may even support others like ZeroSSL but I haven't bothered to look because I don't care. I take the savings on paying for SSL and donate it to the EFF and Let's Encrypt.
If it's not detecting malware, then it's not a malware blocker.

As far as I know, ad blockers work based on host name and css selectors. If there was an actual anti-malware that was so trivially bypass-able, it would be laughed out of the room. uBO blocks hosts of advertisers. AFAIK they don't distinguish between malware and non-malware, nor do they detect malware from other sources.

I was a little disappointed Rogan was so supportive of content advisories on some of his podcasts.
You're right, it's more due to the fact that Observable requires you to explicitly export variables. However, limiting it to one has a couple advantages:

1. You don't recalculate other variables if only one needs to update. For example, if a cell exports two variables, and a dependency of one of them updates, you're forced to re-evaluate the whole cell.

2. I think the UX plays out simpler if you limit it to one variable. It basically reads like `myVar = {...}` at the top of the cell. It's a bit trickier if you try to support exporting multiple variables at once.

3. If you find yourself needing to tie several values together, you can still manage it by exporting a single dictionary value!

There's not much network effect for wordle. If you make another one tomorrow I can just as easily play it there. To be honest buying his game was as much a courtesy from the times as anything, if they were unscrupulous and didn't fear brand hit, they could simply copy it.
Oh, I did my masters thesis about this [1]!

EV certs have long been known to be ineffective at preventing fraud. In fact, they can enhance fraudulent activity with a false sense of trust. And that's if users even notice it and know what it means (most don't).

Chrome has since adopted some ideas from my thesis which attempt to warn you if you're at risk based on suspicious characteristics of the site you're on, like unusual patterns in domain names.

Not OP, but as I see it, this is not so much about existing mortgages.

New purchases will be funded by loans on terms with higher rates. Because most borrow close to the limit of what they can service, future purchases will be for less. If you and your neighbour both purchased for $1M a year ago and your neighbour sells theirs for $800K this year (because that is all any new purchaser can afford), then your house is also now valued at $800K.
AFAIR someone bought EV certs a few years ago that visually looked like apple.com and paypal.com which showed the EV thing was useless.
I never liked philosophy. The problem with the Chinese room is the same as with consciousness. It's definition is a hotchpotch of magical qualities, then basically you show that a giant mill or computer can't be used to build it.

The good news is that we don't have magical qualities, so we can be produced in factories. The bad news is that the computers we have today are not really great, insect brains are more up to our speed, or will be eventually.

Although there is a moral quandary, whether subjecting mass produced brains to torture for fun is bad, or who cares if they are not important brains. Like is it totally cool if those brains are not connected to our society? But maybe they need to be connected to function, even if their initial connectedness is bootstrapped in a factory. But then what if it's the copy of someone, is torturing your copies cool, because society don't need a dozen of you?

You don't actually have to use OCSP if you're willing to accept that you might erroneously trust a revoked certificate. Having short cert lifetimes helps reduce the need for this unless you're really worried about security. There is no MITMing TLS that isn't explicitly allowed by the client (proxy) or server (reverse proxy). Nothing about TLS makes hiding data from the user any easier or harder. If you really wanted to hide your data extraction you would just encrypt the payload and then send it in "plain text."

Centralization is the point where I agree with you, I would love to see browsers support a scheme where certs can be TOFU with a private CA.
Also the possibility that it will lose all its charm now that NYT has to figure out how to make money from it. Part of the fun is that its a goofy little niche project.

> Open ended question, is there a solution?

Regulation. It's a harsh measure, but I doubt there is another one. The last 20 years people tried to find alternative solutions. We have pay-walls, we have crowdfounding, we have various subscription models, I fail to see a solution that hasn't been tried, but yet every single year we get exposed to more ads. It seems extremly unlikely that there is something that could replace ads.

But what is the logical solution when there is a damaging thing in society that can't be replaced by healthy alternatives? It's regulation.

Now I know that a ban on ads seems unlikely. But I honestly don't think we have a choice. Because the alternative is that the ad-industry keeps creeping into every single aspect of our lifes, like they have done ever since their emergence. And with the advance of AR, smart homes and AI assistants this seems like a bad idea.
I'm impressed with how fast people buy them out after stock availability is announced. A few months ago, I got a notification that the Pi 0 2 was back in stock, and I have my eye on a couple units for 3D printer projects. An hour after the email was sent, all 700 had been sold. (Adafruit's emails helpfully say how many they had when the email was sent, which is how I know how quickly they burned through the stock.)

I don't know about which city or urban environment, but my downtown area (largest city in our state), isn't crime ridden, has no smog, sure there's likely more pollution, but with the layout of our highways and the location of traffic, that's all further from houses and offices than led to believe.

The 'riots' you're thinking of took place in a rather racially segregated and historically significant part of my city that isn't downtown... Urban environments have existed for centuries, even millennia. Ancient cities were dense and had many a people within their walls.

He had a chance to try to lose 80 pounds in six months, but didn't try because "it’s not the most healthy thing in the world to do".

Things that are more dangerous than losing weight at three pounds per week for 26 weeks: 1) not losing weight, 2) going to space and back in a rocket ship.

If his risk aversion is such that he wishes to avoid losing weight at perhaps slightly faster than optimal, then he is being quite consistent to give away the rocket ship ticket. He's exercising ordinary prudence with a little face saving explanation. I do envy his friend.

I am just speculating, but in many diseases like rabies and chickenpox you can give the vaccine after exposure to help the immune system fight the infection. It's because the period between exposure and symptoms is quite long, often more than a month for rabies for example.

I used Publii for my blog, but it was very constraining in terms of its styling (the templates were mediocre). And I had made changes to its defaults for styling (which ended up not being responsive), so that when upgrades came around, it messed things up enough that I just stayed on prior versions. Now I'm stuck.

The whole template problem, along with customization (or is it configuration?) is the biggest blocker for me. I'm going back to a straightforward Markdown-like to HTML generator for my next blog revision.
That explains why every Indian or Pakistani music video has this sort of comment at the top with a few thousand likes:

I mean, I appreciate the sentiment, but it feels odd that it's expressed in the comments section of a random YouTube video!

Another weird sort of comment is:

"May your loved one be blessed and live a hundred years. One like = one blessing."

Again, an embarrassingly high number of likes. Do people actually think a YouTube "like" is going to generate a blessing for them?!
> but I don't think he has a moral obligation to inform either company of what's going on, assuming one company's work doesn't interfere with the assigned work from the other.

I strongly disagree. When you are hired as a full-time employee, the expectation is that you are giving your full 8 hours work day (or whatever) to the company in exchange for a paycheck. Otherwise, you are extracting full value from the company while they are getting half (or worse) value from you.

There are lots of people with a "screw everyone else, I got mine" attitude who don't see anything wrong with lying to your employer about how you are spending your time. I lump these people in with people who justify various forms of stealing with the rationale that it doesn't _really_ hurt the victim since some insurance comapany pays for the loss anyway. It demonstrates a severe lack of integrity. I would never want to work with or associate anyone like that.

I do however believe that "no moonlighting" clauses in employment contracts should be illegal. I ought to be able to use my skills to make extra money in my free time, as long is there is no apparent conflict of interest present (e.g. moonlighting for a competitor).
