I think we mostly agree except on our level of optimism about how UBI will realistically be spent. I would argue that my pessimism is extremely well-founded because present material conditions are an extremely strong (if noisy) indicator of an individual's capital allocation efficiency. If someone is in a position to start a successful business, or engage in productive citizen science, they are overwhelmingly less likely to be a net beneficiary of any welfare scheme.

I think there is a pessimistic utilitarian argument for welfare just because people have concave/risk-averse utility functions (of wealth) and it's possible that the dollar-cheap utility gains for people close to zero might outweigh the higher-order costs, but it strikes me as somewhat fantastical to imagine that there might be meaningful financial gains from a welfare scheme, because people with more welfare money might use the money to read a book or start a successful business or something.
And now the truckers blocking the Coutts border crossing — preventing incoming truckers from doing their job and creating the very supply chain crisis they were warning us about! — have taken a run at the RCMP that were breaking up the blockade.

DRAM has hit a brick wall, look at how fragile the data stored in it is when RowHammer and a number of other things that should not ever work, are reliably exploitable.
> After PETA contacted Kenya Airways, the company said last week that it would not renew its contract for the transportation of macaques when it expires this month. In doing so, it joined several airlines, including major American carriers, that have refused to transport animals used in medical research.

Never let a good crises go to waste I guess...
> "Often happen at scale"? What on earth are you talking about?

What I mean is that things that are rare for most people in everyday life become commonplace when you deal with batches of 100s of humans at a time.

For example, bipolar disorder occurs at a frequency of about 1% in the general population. Statistically in my classroom of 100 students, there's at least 1 who suffers from bipolar disorder, and therefore is in serious danger of for the first time undergoing an acute mental health crisis at some point during the semester. Therefore in my profession, issues related to mental health are not a rare or abstract occurrence, but are ever-present in the classroom semester after semester. Indeed, in almost all of my classes there will be a student who undergoes such a crisis, and so it's best to have a policy for dealing with these issues when they arise.

> I literally cannot think of a single instance of "interpersonal conflict" that would have required special "management" skills of any kind (beyond simple decency and common sense). Everyone got along, and it was all pretty mellow and chill, actually.

By "schools I went to", do you mean as a student? If so, then it's not surprising you wouldn't have been exposed to any of these things; very sensitive matters are brought to instructors in confidence and are handled discretely. In a well-managed classroom, the issues of other students should be transparent to you.

Some examples that I experienced recently:

- Student had racial slurs spray painted on their residence, wanted to discuss an extension of his project due to emotional distress.

- Female student overheard other male students making lewd and harassing comments about her, made her feel unwelcome in the classroom and was affecting her performance.

- Student was bullying other students in his group to the point that they came to me in tears about how he was treating them.

Having taken classes you may feel you understand what it takes to run a classroom, but I assure you there's an endless stream of these kinds of issues that occur in the background that you have no idea your instructors are dealing with.
The cost paired with this copy: “enabling high throughput connectivity for small offices, storefronts, and super users across the globe.”

It’s 5x the price of standard Starlink (both for the hardware and the monthly cost). Won’t be worth it for most regular users imo when standard Starlink is quite good.

I’d pay $150/mo easily and maybe $200/mo for premium, but not $500/mo.

There’s also currently no way to order one from your current account if you have regular Starlink, you have to use a different email (also suggests targeting different market).

If it's too early for bright sunlight (winter, Northern hemisphere), thirty minutes in front of a daylight lamp works great for waking up in my experience.

Amazon's sprinting decline into absurdly gamed reviews and scam copycat products really doesn't support that quote.
This was a bit of a shock to me one of the first times I took an extended break from alcohol. After a couple of days, when the fog clears, you find yourself sitting there and realize life is kinda dull now.

All that time you had been filling with alcohol now needs to be filled with something. Quitting alcohol didn’t magically fill the time with rainbows, unicorns, and success. You still must find it in yourself to go out and DO things that will bring you joy or success or whatever it is you seek. Quitting alcohol makes it significantly easier to pursue that. However, as you mention, the act of quitting alone is not the magic cure to suddenly finding happiness, success, or, in the author’s hope, a super power.

My first impression before reading the article was that this was for people with perfect pitch to avoid areas blasting out of tune notes playing in public spaces.
Very common in train stations, crosdswalks and elevator sounds etc.
If I quit alcohol, or at least moderated it better, my Sunday mornings would be perceptibly improved and my calorie tracker would no longer say "24,000kj". In this sense I think the benefits are probably more noticeable for binge drinkers than day-to-day alcoholics.
They say in their support topics that they may support publicly routable IPs in the future, so it looks like they may change that. But not all enterprise use-cases require inbound traffic, or they may require the bandwidth and low-latency even more, and can workaround the CGNAT in the meantime.

I'm trying to reliably/systematically establish passive income so I can work on more ambitious ideas.

I'd like to meet a "validator" to complement my rapid product dev skills. (I'm surprised this kind of pairing structure doesn't come up more often—I see it kinda like 'generator'/'discriminator' pairs in GANs. Seems like the ideal duo-form to systematically discover excellent PMF.)

I have several projects in the works, that to my knowledge could each be seriously profitable—though my certainty around their potential profitability scales inversely with how profitable each may be.

E.g. the one I'm most certain will be profitable will of course not be any kind of unicorn—more something that could provide comfortable passive income, and it's basically ready for open beta: https://diskatlas.com/

I did a fair bit of market research with that one, but the others are a bit more 'intuitive'. I would love to find someone who I get along well with on a personal level who has some real chops/experience (or smarts/drive) in the realm of validating product ideas, collecting user feedback to make revisions to ideas or refine usability, doing market research, maybe generating/implementing marketing/advertising ideas, possibly taking care of other business-ey things(??).

Shoot me a message on twitter, or you can find my contact info on symbolflux.com. I'm a 36yr old male, worked in startups in SF and Cambridge, do independent contracts now living in the southwest (US).
to be fair, this is because Elizabeth Holmes is probably a sociopath, so you'd expect to hear something overly confident like that from such. Not that we knew it at the time.
Thanks a lot for taking the time to explain things in details. All points noted and we will continue to figure out the ideal path.
The idea that human drivers can create cars that are somehow better drivers than them...has got to be some kind of bunk.

Good, enjoy. I'm a fan of interintellect as well. Also, if you change your mind, I hope you remember that's fine too.
Agreed - this is insane for software engineers to follow. Especially right now.
> For that matter, humans have 8 fingers and 2 thumbs. Wouldn't an octal numbering system make more sense? Though for that we'd have to come up with new unit names near 2^3, 2^6, 2^9, etc that don't sound silly.

Each of the 4 long fingers has 3 phalanges, so an interesting possibility is to use each thumb to count up to 12 on each hand. Given that many ancient units of measurement where base-12, I wonder why we didn't develop base-12 languages.
It's cool to see an organization working with CL in production. I totally understand why more companies don't follow (and honestly I'm not sure I'd want to coexist in a CL codebase with more than a few programmers) but it's still encouraging.

Mostly, the article speaks for itself. I thought it ironic he does a minimum Florida residency for tax purposes, given he winds up donation dripfeeding his wealth, it suggests the back story on his moral dilemma is that he wants to pick and choose.

For me the whole point of tax is both equalisation and avoiding the pick and choose part, but given he wants to, the rest is rational choices

I am pretty partisan. I don't see signs Musk or Bezos understand how to self police the freedoms of money. I would personally love to be wealthier but at a cost of being so exploitative of workers? Come on. It ought to be clear by now that both Musk and Bezos are not anti union because it would actually seriously erode their disposable income. It's a proxy for the philosophical dilemma here: they want to choose what to do with their money, that other people earn for them.

Extra super duper rich are not a healthy sign of balance. It's distortion for individuals to be so far outside the curve. A curve can exist. Were not ants, clones. But a curve with this asymmetry worries me. The accumulation is not going to help. I'm not seeking his wealth personally and I am adequately rewarded for my work, I'm in a top 3% bracket, within which these people are the top 0.00001%
> This is a wealth redistribution scheme.

At first order it is, but at first order virtually any policy involves moving wealth around, and at first order any such thing is zero-sum.

> from people who are self-evidently efficient capital allocators to people who are self-evidently not.

Given that the biggest factor affecting income is parental class, that seems far from self-evident. More importantly, if we want to encourage the kind of higher risk tolerance that increases overall productivity on average, taking a chunk of upside to eliminate the downside makes sense. Putting $1m into a 50-50 chance that will produce $10m of value if it works out but leave you destitute if it doesn't is a positive for society, but irrational at an individual level; a tax system that leaves you with $5m if it works out and $50k if it doesn't aligns the incentives better. We already see that people who are lucky enough to have that kind of safety net by coincidence (e.g. rich families/friends) tend to be more entrepreneurial and willing to take the risks that do pay off than people who don't.

> Please, I'd love to hear how "organized society" is synonymous with "welfare programs".

I mean you can go right back to the Roman Empire and "bread and circuses". Organised society has always meant some level of support for those on the bottom.
According to the most recent SEC filing I can find with an explicit ownership percentage, "As of June 30, 2019, external investors held 17.1% of the fully diluted equity in GM Cruise Holdings." [1] Presumably that means GM as the parent company owned 82.9%.

Wizards of the Coast | Various Engineering Roles | Full-time | Onsite | Seattle, WA (Renton)

Wizards of the Coast is the world's largest publisher of adventure games, including Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons. We're a division of toy-giant Hasbro and we're expanding further into digital gaming.

I recently came onboard as Director of Cloud & Date Engineering and I'm building out the teams to create a common gaming platform on AWS.

I have one DevOps engineer opening that can be hired at either a junior or senior level:

https://boards.greenhouse.io/wizardsofthecoast/jobs/52566610...
https://boards.greenhouse.io/wizardsofthecoast/jobs/50367310...

I will also have several engineering manager positions open soon -- I don't have those posted yet, but if you're interested ping me. You can find my email in my profile.

We're currently working remote but plan on going back into the office when COVID allows, so you'll need to be in the Seattle area (our office is in Renton). We'll probably adopt a hybrid model so you won't need to be in the office everyday, but details are still being worked out.

We have the usual big-company stuff like decent health insurance and other benefits. You'll get lots of free Magic and D&D stuff. Plus you get 5 weeks of vacation a year, and I will make you take them.
Because it made looking for a job almost effortless. I'm not terrible at whiteboarding but I hate doing it so I just kept letting recruiters contact me and sending back a generic response asking for info until I found one that sounded fun, paid well, and didn't whiteboard.
It was very soon after I quit sugar that I noticed how ridiculously "available" sugary / sweet treats are.

I was able to stockpile a surprisingly large number of chocolate bars, that I'd somehow passively gathered, in a fairly short amount of time. The realisation "this is how much of this crap I'm eating?!" went a good way to motivating me to continue avoiding it.
I actually think both the Websocket API and fetch make sense. There's nothing more frustrating than adding a bunch of checks to a SvelteKit project to see if you're on the server or not.

Which could be a sign some drivers are simply overly cautious. Suppose 1/10 of disconnects prevented a crash, reducing the risk of crashing to 0 only reduces the number of disconnects by 10%.

To actually reduce that number you would need to make drivers feel more confident in the vehicle which is a useful metric, but only indirectly relating to safety.
Your well-intentioned vote isn't enough to eliminate the system we have now. Getting the welfare schemes we have now in place took both credulous moral voters and the voting blocs who constitute the self-interested recipients of these welfare schemes. The recipients of the current schemes are never going to vote to get rid of the current schemes. They would net fare worse under a more efficient scheme. So who are you going to team up with to get the votes?
Any large user of datacenters could have a shortage of datacenter space if they didn't plan ahead enough. It might take two years to build a new data center? Space crunches have happened before.

But maybe the chip crunch is a current bottleneck, or results in higher prices for new hardware? If so, there's a reason to delay upgrades and run older hardware a bit longer.

This is just guesswork. Supply crunches aren't predictable from first principles.
That's an interesting viewpoint. Something I've been perplexed by is when I go to /r/conspiracy to see what the "other side" is saying, I see groups of commenters seeming to believe they agree with each other but they're expressing beliefs that are mutually exclusive.

For example that vaccines are subversive for an entirely different purposes. Microchips, financial greed, mass genocide, virus distribution, etc.
It's possible that #3, good sleep, is the most important element, and adopting the remaining behaviors largely work because they improve sleep quality.

Drugs or alcohol can reduce sleep quality (e.g. cannabis reduces REM sleep, alcohol can cause you to wake up too early); a diet high in simple sugars can negatively affect sleep quality [0]; and porn at night can mean looking at a screen with blue light, which can cause you to fall asleep later [1].

Are there any good options for an open source headless CMS that works with a static site generator that has a page builder that has quick and accurate live previews before you deploy? E.g. so you can build new landing pages from header, testimonial and contact form blocks.

There's lots of options if you just want Markdown but this isn't enough for heavily branded business websites where you need to check how complex pages will look before they go live, like if the h1 text in the header line wraps weird or is hard to read against the header background image.

Edit: I get that CMS projects need to make money by the way but the lack of vendor lock-in is a big upside to WordPress.

Netlify CMS might be an option (https://www.manuelkruisz.com/blog/posts/custom-previews-next...)?
How long have they suppressed research into capability based security? It was invented as a direct result of problems in computing with multiple levels of secrets during the air war in Viet Nam. Yet most tech people have never heard of it, or confused it with the access flags for phone apps.
This has been in my app for a couple years - I hate it every time. Not only is it very clearly advertising, it's nearly always useless because the restaurant/whatever is barely or not at all visible on the approach to the turn. It's pretty clear they're going for paid landmarks, not useful ones (though I don't like landmark-directions either way).
I just don't see how 40% YoY growth is sustainable. Before they were doing ~25% which was already insane, but 40% will now be "expected" and anything less will be considered a failure probably. There's a limit to how much they can crank that knob...
> Surely a fairer test

What?

The "test", as far as I'm concerned, is whether or not Tesla will kill children on our streets. And given this test, it proves that Tesla's emergency braking capabilities are awful.

I don't care about Luminar tech at all, frankly. If Luminar becomes available to buy one day, maybe I'll care then.

---------

At the _ROOT_ of this discussion is a poster who openly admits to using "Autopilot" in school-zones. Given that Tesla will _NOT_ stop for balloon-children until its way too late (the braking action was _AFTER_ the balloon-child was smacked), I have to immediately reprimand the original poster. This is a critical safety issue that people must understand, "Autopilot" and "FSD" are NOT ready to be used in school zones, or other locations where children might run out into the streets randomly.

This has nothing to do with tech-companies swinging their tech around at a show. This has everything to do with stopping the next child from getting smacked by an ignorant driver.
"All you need is to be selective about what truths you tell, and where. Some goes on the front page, some on page 13, other bits nowhere at all."

Which is why, in a court of law, you swear to tell "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth", as selective truth is no truth at all.
Now, come on. Many is the time where the color of an object was an important part of a dream. If we dreamed in black and white how could we tell which color we were working with?

For those who are in the cities (like me), we have access to "hyperfibre" which is like 2Gbps which costs about $150-$200 NZD a month (unlimited).
