Given the long history of the US culture broadly being anti-left, what possible slogan could there be that's "aspirational and adaptable and unassailable". I think you put effort into a slogan but it's pretty much impossible for any leftist slogan to meet those criteria.

And anyways, again, I highly disagree that any slogan is unassailable. A lot of people still attacked "MAGA" so where is the line that you measure "unassailablity"? I could say to someone against "Defund the Police" that you hate Black people but there just isn't widespread support for that opinion like there is with being anti american. "Defund the Police" is a compromise slogan, "Abolish the Police" is the more radical version and arguably even clearer and less assailable but again mainstream US culture just doesn't want to face that reality.

Also, adaptable slogans are great for campaigns (where you probably don't want to assign policy specifics) and conservatives (who largely agree on everything already) but not for positions that are supposed to end up with policy changes. What adaptable slogan is there for leftist movement that's asking specifically to tackle the issue of police violence? The problem with adaptable slogans is they become compromised or co-opted. "Black Lives Matter" became a the conservative rally "All Lives Matter" and "Blue Lives Matter". Can this be avoided on the left by a more adaptable slogan? I doubt it.

So, okay maybe there's some slightly better slogan than "Defund the Police" but at the end of the day it's not the slogan that's the issue, it's liberals that don't actually agree with the basic idea but want to pretend they're still pro-left or whatever.

Edit: to complete the thought, all of this is to say, all the disagreement with the slogan is overall to a bad faith, pointless end. If the media and liberals and whoever are spending a bunch of time arguing about the slogan, it's time that could have been spent discussing and negotiating policy specifics. But liberals and mainstream media didn't want to do that. So we ended up with a lot of arguing about a slogan and not much actual policy and the police won.

It's the first thing to omit, because in any other discussion about RMS it comes up anyway.

It's like making a video about the career of Mike Tyson and omit the ear-biting part. Wrong? No. It doesn't matter because everyone knows about that anyway.
Never, aside from the existing space limits. That's like asking how long until Google charges per search. They monetize it effectively and efficiently already and losing those users would devastate that, along with the stickiness of account management/SSO.
Again, where does the 30% of gdp come from?
Frances tax brackets seem to run ~10 - 15% higher than the comparable US ones.
Now if I could get free health care and college for my kids I may be open to paying an extra 10% assuming the quality was good. Using round numbers though, we are taxing everyone an extra 10 - 15% but need to raise an extra 30% of gdp, we are still short. France has a VAT of 20% on goods sold, likely why their Debt to GDP is stable. So while they dont have inflation, everything has gone up 20% right off the bat.

Is a VAT a regressive tax? The poor likely spend 100% of their income so are taxed 20% on everything. The rich are able to save a good portion of it, so get to keep it tax free after income taxes.

Not sure I would be willing to pay essentially 30 - 35% more in taxes for 'free' health care. That's more than I save for retirement. How would I retire? Retirement would essentially be living on the UBI.

Frances Debt to GDP is similar to the US. What happens as population decline affects France and less people work? The Debt to GDP keeps climbing and begins to do so faster and faster.

Doctors and medical professionals would likely have to take paycuts as the federal government cannot afford to pay them 325k a year. You could argue that we could make up the difference by cutting military spending which I agree with, but the military is very much a jobs program as is, so a ton of those soldiers and military contractors including high paying engineering jobs at places like Lockheed go away now. Once that happens and the US can no longer afford to project force in europe, what happens in France when Russia gets aggressive, do they in turn have to raise defense spending and reduce benefits. If we have a military conflict, are we bringing back the draft?

So again I am not disagreeing, I think certain benefits should be given, including universal health care, I am just saying its very complicated and I don't have all the answers and would love to hear some.
Oh yeah, and mirroring other comments, this is the max base for the highest level in this case, so it is the max max. And also it’s never really true that they can’t exceed it. Everything is negotiable if you’re hot enough shit.
Debian testing is currently still like that. MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 needs to be set before firefox uses wayland.
I think there is inverse relation of how frequently a number is written everywhere with it's degree of decimal places. It is a convenience thing. Also if the number is generated on a computer and used there subsequently 4 decimal is plenty for social science and business research/purpose IMO.
> Doubt more money is going to fix this though perhaps ...

There's certainly some amount of money that would get me to work for them in the short term. But only if there wasn't a clawback clause that made me lose money if I found the experience unhealthy.
Then you express that view in a civilized manner in your comment.

It's tough to remember that the "sem" in "semver" stands for "semantic" and implies "meaningful to other software developers". I understand why we like to try to automate it, but aspects of it were intentional rejections of automated version numbers in the first place and it feels like a cycle of automating things, finding failures in them when automated, and trying to remind ourselves why we shouldn't just automate every aspect of our jobs. Sometimes you need the "semantics", the human judgment calls.
We did record demos and play them back, but cheaters are intelligent and will do things like change their ID after a game. They use IDs like “iIiiIiliiiiIii1” too, which means getting your report from someone who just takes a screenshot and doesn’t use the in-game report is just noise.

Cheaters also do things like buy CD codes/stolen accounts which are sold cheaply on various websites.

It also doesn’t help when there are promotional campaigns that let people play the game for free or very cheaply.

We even had a problem with people buying the game with stolen credit cards.

Regardless of that, human moderation efforts are a full time job, personally I’d be happy to release the server, but the server requires 40 cores and 256G of ram to boot, many people don’t have that, and that’s not including the kinds of nefarious things people did with the binaries of other games gameservers we gave out (like saving garbage back to our persistence, or trying to inject statistics to the leaderboards systems if there are any.)

It sounds easy from the outside; if you think it’s easy I really do have a job for you. Maybe I’m stupid.

But I was not told (for business reasons anyway) to hold on to the game server binaries.

We did it because making the game was easier/possible that way and the gameserver itself is nearly impossible to load for most people anyway.

I promise you that it is not cheap to host gameservers — if we could we would have pushed that burden onto players. (Speaking purely economically)
Not exactly. The plans are different with different product mix. At least I remember it like that.
Maybe, but even these people have the basic sense to not make "defund education" their foremost slogan.

>The reality is that there aren't enough upper class people to generate sufficient tax revenue for a meaningful UBI.

What makes you think so?

There are a lot of discussion online about the costs/benefits of UBI. This article has an US-centric view on how this could be afforded

I'd argue that Workspace accounts (that start at $6/mo) are already private(ish?) paid Gmail accounts.
You have to account for out of pocket maximums, which are up to $17k per year for a family, and increase every year, plus the risk of losing your ability to earn income, especially in your 50+ years.

Currently, a family of 4 would spend $35k plus or minus $5k on premiums, plus the $34k you need on hand for out of pocket expenses because it’s per calendar year, so if something happens at the end of the year, you need to be able to pay for 2 years worth of out of pocket expenses.

And that is today, so account for quite a bit of inflation if you are starting a family in your 30s, you need to be able to providing until 55 to 60, when the kids should be able to provide for themselves (at your expected quality of life).

Plus education prices, and insuring yourself from legal expenses. I know, 90% of Americans are not and will never be insured against these risks, but once you are in the $200k to $400k income range, you can actually achieve it and come to expect it.

It kinda already does because Gmail shares the storage space with all other Google services. I found that recently when I started getting message like please buy more storage or else you will not be able to receive emails. I got around that by deleting some old junk on my google drive but I wonder how long I would be able to do that in future.

It doesnt seem possible to have a fixed positivity ratio when considering research on extinction.

The gist of extinction is that when training using positive feedback, the desired response will cease when the positive feedback does (extinction). In order to maintain the behavior the feedback has to essentially be randomized with a decreasing prevalence (positivity ratio).
> I think one even attempted to automate the process because I received two separate emails from him along with follow ups on each in a matter of four hours, and my replies never got through as they were completely ignored as he continued to follow up (on both original emails) several times over the next week.

If you mean charge for Gmail in general then that's never going to happen. There's too much money in mining email content/advertising.
I assume with more 'normal' people being liberated from the yoke of work there might be more volunteers and volunteer initiatives to help those in need out.

Not sure why the article mentions Microsoft, or if Amazon really worries about them. MS salary is notoriously low compared to FANG, with talent often leaving only because of money, particularly in the Seattle area where Amazon HQ is, and SF/SV.

You might not want to, but not everyone has the luxury of a nice home theater setup. Some people only have access to quality screens and audio at a local theater.

One of my primary preferences for watching movies in a theater is my engagement while watching. When I'm at home, I can too easily become distracted. Setting aside time in my schedule and being in a different environment helps me to focus and appreciate more details.

Also, if you're in a metropolitan area with access to an art-house theater, the types of films shown is often far more eclectic than current blockbusters. They can include showing of rare 35mm/70mm prints, short films from movie festivals, foreign films that tend to get limited releases in the US, re-releases of older classics. There's a lot of content that can be very difficult, even impossible, to find on streaming services. Those types of cinemas also tend to have much more respectful audiences, making the experience enjoyable to everyone there.

One of my local theaters offers film classes which entails showing a series of films, once per week, with group discussions held after the showing. Finding other movie aficionados and getting to engage in discourse is a great way of getting more from a movie watching experience. Not everyone has social groups which want to watch films in the same way. Many of my friends are happy to hang out and watch the latest Marvel release, but generally have no interest in watching anything released from the 70s or earlier.
>This is an article style I really don’t like, the interesting information is buried towards the end after thousands of mostly irrelevant bits of narrative which aren’t worth remembering.

This sort of journalism is something I find extremely frustrating. Honestly, I don't care about pretty much anything in the entire section about Brown meeting Wiseman. That whole thing could've been a single paragraph with no valuable information lost. Maybe this is just because we're in the ADHD age, but I couldn't read it because of all of this extraneous information.
Amazingly, my startup (KubeSail.com YCS19) has similar revenue, has raised 500x less, and we've been told point blank that "nobody wants to invest in a hardware company", or "yes, but what's the path to 100B".

Hey maybe we don't have any path to 100B (is 1B just for chumps?), and maybe our margins aren't B2E-style 99%, but I'd much rather be making something people want rather than...

And then I hear my wifes voice in my head: "You can't pay yourself that little forever...". Maybe I'm the fool.

Strange world.
The modern NXP has a rotten company culture. Which is unfortunate since Freescale that got bought by them had a much better culture.
This is nonsense completely disconnected from reality. Sure we could increase GDP in nominal dollar terms by 13% or 130% or any arbitrary number by just printing more dollars but inflation doesn't make us wealthier. At some point someone has to actually make things. Most forms of resource extraction, farming, and manufacturing are still quite labor intensive. The dilettantes who believe that automation will save us from working have probably never had to clean the conveyor belt in a mushroom packing plant; show me a robot capable of doing that.
And leftists continue to self-sabotage...

I don't see any problem with where r/antiwork wound up.

Look at what the right wing does tactically to get their message across. They setup forums which are gateway drugs, which offer watered down cryptic messages where they go around joking to "hide their power levels" and shit. If you remember the nazi babytalk subreddits that were all about "frens" you know what I mean.

That is effective outreach of propaganda efforts. They do it because it works.

Leftists had a great, popular tool here with the new r/antiwork which nudged people one very small step in the leftist direction. Leftists should embrace that for it became and the function it was serving. Instead it sounds like you're going to burn it down because it is insufficiently pure.

Even if they're only talking about how and why their boss sucks and they want a new boss, you should focus on the fact that you've created a common place in the public where everyone can start commiserating on how their bosses suck. That's not a zero. It just also isn't the glorious workers revolution I guess so we have to burn it all down.

EDIT: looks like there's been a switch in the mod group and the people currently running the show are actually NOT taking a hard line and are more in line with exactly what I'm talking about:

There are a number of socioeconomic factors that are believed to be the underlying influence on violent crime. My own personal summary on this is that people tend to become criminals when they lose hope in having a fair shot at a successful life, or see an opportunity that they don't find morally reprehensible ("well, it's really the bank/insurance money so it's not hurting a person"). So I think this hopelessness is mostly what drove the pandemic crime increase.

I'm keeping an eye on some of the developing cooperative ride-hailing and delivery apps (eg [1] [2]). As long as you're not trying to allocate a huge amount of R&D to a huge number growth areas, the core mobile hailing services should actually amount to a pretty low overhead to supply.

By squeezing out costs of a VC management ownership & hypergrowth objectives, as well as automating more of the core administrative needs, that mix of tech and operating approach should be very competitive for providing modern ride services.

Brown did not write the "3000 word critique". From TFA:

This won't happen. A Gmail account is the gateway for Android (most people using or getting started with Android would assume that a Gmail account is necessary to set it up). As long as Google doesn't give up on Android, YouTube and Maps, the free Gmail accounts aren't going anywhere. There's no point letting some other provider capture usage or other information (through email notifications) from these platforms.

What could happen is that the space for each mailbox may be restricted, and linked accounts may be considered for the total space used by a person. Unused accounts may also be pruned quicker with hardly any notice.

A key bit I pulled out:

> It seemed a case of numbers fudging. In a valid fluid dynamics problem, the numbers plugged into the equation must correlate to the properties of the fluid being studied. But in attempting to draw an equivalence between the physical flow of liquids and the emotional “flow” of human beings, Losada had simply lifted the numbers that Lorenz used in 1963 to explain his method in the abstract, numbers used merely for illustrative purposes. Losada’s results, along with the pretty butterfly graphs Brown had been shown in class, were essentially meaningless.

I will concede that I'm using "psychosis" very casually here. It's absolutely compulsive, irrational behavior, though.
I wonder why Prof. Strassler does not consider star trails, like here, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_trail definitive proof of Earth's rotation. In historic times astronomers invented crystalline spheres [1] that carried stars to save the stationary earth doctrine. But now we know that crystalline spheres do not exist (stars have their own proper motions) so since stars do not rotate, the earth must rotate. What's wrong with this argument?

You’re being way too reductive assuming that genius level intellect also includes being highly industrious AND has the risk appetite to start a company that will likely fail.

Genius level intellect comes with a lot of problems - pessimism ranks highly because the foresight granted by intellect shows the huge combination of possible failures.

Negative emotion is felt more strongly than positive emotion in all humans so self doubt (illuminated by combinatorial scenario projections) tends to be higher in genius intellect.

Also many of them tend to have other problems at the extremes - anxiety, paranoia, mania, distrust, uncontrollable ego, combinations of these and more - this leads to many of the geniuses taking their paycheque and disappearing into escapism of drugs, alcohol, sex, video games, whatever - just to make it stop for a bit, just a little relief

And some geniuses aren’t industrial at all, and are happy with that, they are happy being kind and reliable and humble, they are not driven by money but the acquisition of knowledge for its own reward.

Maybe they just want comfort and know the statistics on how many startups fail and the insane amount of work and sacrifice a startup requires and it’s actually easier to get a well paying job and be more balanced.

The assumption that genius are always in the capitalistic, money driven, alert problem solving mode is a very American view of live, when indeed, just like intellect is NOT a single scalar dimension, genius is varied and colourful.
