Agree it's a big effort, so approaching as open as we can to attract cooperation. We also have a new company that has taken seed funding. I'm a systems engineer/data scientist, working with architects and 3d folks who know the state of the art well.

The architecture will tend towards platform + apps, to help address the scale problem. We're looking to partner/port the geometry kernel and focus on workflow and integration with open standards (IFC,STEP,gltf,Collada).

Initial UI is in react+three.js (soon react-three-fiber) with git for file-based versioning underneath. Also interested in recent discussions on HN about CRDTs on Matrix for collaboration. So kind of a CRDT real-time google docs capability on top of a persistent file based rep on git. This part is very fun coding :)

Just getting started! Appreciate any feedback, esp on our github/discord :)
Well it just didn't seem very obvious what would move the needle, plus moving up a notch would take some actual work, and actual costs.

If you sell empty bags on the street, promising the buyers there is bread inside, only to collect those empty bags back when the buyers throw the (supposed) bread away because it became worthless, is not good business. You're the only one profiting, both the bakers and the buyers are loosing money.

The short answer is probably not.

However, some games are freeware [0], I guess you don't technically buy those, but they certainly are legal. Some homebrew devs might be selling ROMs this way, too, but you'd have to reach out to the devs. If you want to license individual games, you'll have to figure out who owns them & ask. They likely won't part with it, as these deals aren't really B2C. Plus, you might be competing with Arcade 1 up, whatever they think they can get from selling on services like PSN, etc.

"The blow to young people’s confidence appears to be more profound than with previous threats, such as nuclear war, Dr. Clayton said."

Something that is missing when comparing anxiety about climate and nuclear war is that there is always a chance nuclear war won't happen and cooler heads will prevail. Climate change is already happening.

There are some good, well-moderated subreddits - r/covid19 comes to mind. But the emphasis has to be on "moderated" - r/covid19 is very strictly moderated and that keeps it useful - a lot of doctors, virologists, immunologists seem to comment there. If that strict moderation wasn't there it would quickly become useless.
Does Firefox default to Wayland these days on wayland-default distros? I seem to recall, using a Linux laptop for work just a year or so ago, that I had to set a couple of config variables manually that were really really easy to screw up. Ended up using the X version of FF for a while on Wayland until I figured out what was causing issues in my environment.
It would take quite a bit of effort, but if you get a visa and are confident you can get a job at Amazon, there ya are.

Maybe you're aware of more than just the linked tweet and that's why I'm not seeing what you're seeing. Some reasonable interpretations of that quote:

1) We would be more capitalist (whatever that means) if welfare beneficiaries and women were not able to vote.

2) Libertarian initiatives would succeed more often.

Neither of those seem to me to obviously translate to "We'd all be better off if women's suffrage never happened". For one thing, the quote seems to be missing anything that says those groups shouldn't be voting. But again, I'm only looking at the words on the page.
> And until then, stop taxing my condo in the city as if I'm the same as the 4 bedroom house on a 1/4 acre lot down the street.

Taxes are based on ability to pay rather than actual cost to the city (land value is just a proxy for ability to pay). Otherwise poor people literally could not live in the city.

I'm not saying it's a bad idea to impose higher taxes on residences that have outsized infrastructure costs. But I'm not sure I see it as likely. (Or necessary, given that a city willing to do this could just as easily change zoning and suddenly there would be lots of pressure for those single family homes to turn into condos.)
Lucid Air: A Fresh Face with 500 Miles to a Charge, and Horsepower to Spare
Let’s not say nobody starves death in America because people do. Emergency room healthcare is also a poor substitute for most health issues beyond acute illness and trauma.

The working poor do get a lot out of social services that are available if they take advantage of those programs, though some states make it as hard as possible.

But I’m on the same page that UBI is a good thing and better for everybody. People have basic needs and they should be provided for.

I still don’t see how we get there in the US, sadly. The fact that the childcare tax credit was enough to lift so many families out of poverty speaks volumes and yet it seems to be politically ignored by conservatives/republican voters despite the fact that these programs and other social services benefit those communities in red states more than blue states.

The best trick the wealthy pulled was convincing the working poor that all the people they don’t like are abusing the system and living like kings while the working stiff is just getting by.

Indeed, I think it's a big mistake to cheap out and go for some impenetrable 19th century translation when reading this type of book. Philosophy is difficult enough without dealing with the ridiculously elaborate and flowery language of older translations.

This might be solved by a Negative Income Tax [1]:

> In economics, a negative income tax (NIT) is a system which reverses the direction in which tax is paid for incomes below a certain level; in other words, earners above that level pay money to the state while earners below it receive money.

> And how do you get to a big enough market share to become a default compilation target?

The problem isn't even market share, it's that Linux Desktop doesn't constitute a targetable platform because it is so fragmented and unstable. This is why Steam has to pack in its own runtime libraries just so native Linux games have some kind of known base system.

> Ok, most. Some people always find excuses

Excuses? Like there's some kind of moral imperative to use Linux? People have reasons they prefer to use other environments. I've used Linux Desktops on and off for 20 years and I've watched statements like this consistently turn away interested users through this kind of dismissive bullshit.
I briefly browsed Zillow in Seattle. It looks like a good 2-3 bd house is 700k+. And of course you need a car since public transport isn’t a thing there. Sending children to a good colleage is probably 50k+ a year just in tuition. I get a feeling money is different there.

Americans seems to abhor car/fuel/etc. taxes to the point that they vote out any politician who dares suggesting anything even approximating that, and as a result they have a huge infrastructure maintenance backlog waiting to pop. Not helped by the fact that suburban sprawl is incredibly expensive to maintain (per the tax revenue the municipality gets) compared to more densely built environments.

The "Not Just Bikes" youtube channel has a series of videos on the strongtowns, uh, thingy, that goes into more details. In particular this one describes the financing of suburban infrastructure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IsMeKl-Sv0
An ATS is like an exchange, so we match buyers and sellers. And you guessed correctly that the initial users are institutional investors - or more directly their brokers. So initially we'll have institutions creating and sending in "Expressive Bids" to improve their execution performance, and to express trades they currently can't via plain limit orders.

That said, we'd love to get to the point where E-Trade etc. are offering combinatorial bidding to retail traders, with us on the back end.

You're right, but you're missing the emotional damage many hackers of a certain age feel when they remember troubleshooting PHP problems, or constantly having to look things up, before they left for whatever their language of choice is now. People complaining about PHP are mostly just venting frustrations from 15 years ago.
I’ve had a similar experience, albeit with lower TC numbers. The RSUs were backloaded, but there were big cash grants for years 1 and 2 that flattened it out somewhat.

Another thing to keep in mind is that Amazon values their stock grants as if it grows 15% every year. Obviously this is pretty optimistic and makes their offers not directly comparable to other companies that value their stock using current prices.
Nice. One question I have is does the compose operator preserve error messages, allow you to pinpoint which function raised an exception etc? That's the one issue I have w/ the `pipe` function from dry-python/returns; if you build a complex pipeline, the errors are somewhat inscrutable.
"GDP grows instantly by at least 13% (in the US) if doing a $1,000/month UBI, for example"

That really does not track though, sure GDP will go up if the money is spent, but its just spending money that we either borrowed or just printed. Not to mention a ton of that money would be saved, essentially removing it from circulation. Inflation would go out of control. If not, then why not just print 100,000 for each person?

12k a year for 300 million people is ~3.6 trillion. ~20% of gdp a year being printed.
Let people work on whatever they want.

People can still get jobs if they want. In fact, most people probably still will. Otherwise nobody would be working in countries where welfare isn't capped, which obviously isn't the case.

Also just think back to all the rich trust fund kids and financially independent people you know (eg. multimillionaires). What percentage of them don't work anymore? In my experience, most continue to work even though they could just live off of their savings/investments. That's because they are free to work on what they themselves enjoy, rather than simply having to sell their labor to make ends meet.

I wish everyone had that freedom. If it were not possible, then at the least it should be a goal we strive towards.
Indeed. I mean what would be the point of talking total comp much smaller than base pay at these companies beyond self-pity and anger.

> There is no end to the “replay value” in taking whatever miscellaneous collection of legos you have and making whatever you want out of them. This is what most kids do.

It’s interesting watching my sister’s kids interact with lego. Her daughter (the oldest) loves rules, and loves following the instructions on the set. Her (younger) son loves destroying her sets and mixing things up. He loves all the “boy” lego sets - flames, dragons, motorbikes, you name it.

I’ve been trying to get them to relax into building whatever they want with their bricks. “Oh there’s the eyes for a face. Which piece is a mouth?” “Wow cool motorbike. I wonder if this brick would look good as a helmet?”. I try to make bad suggestions and get them to find something better.

I struggle to break free from the instructions a lot of the time too. I think my problem with modern lego is how many individual elements there are. It doesn’t feel like fun creative constraints when you have so many different pieces to choose from. More like, whatever element I use, I feel like there was something better out there I didn’t think of. The huge variety of pieces makes the sets look great - so great that it overshadows anything I make myself. I love lego; but I wish they embraced the constraints of the medium more and let their sets be more blocky. Minecraft’s 1x1x1 block shape constraint makes the game better, not worse.
There's more that's different to it than that, though.

Just as another couple examples:

- Civil asset forfeiture is something that local police departments around the country can do to people within their jurisdiction. Seizing a bank account is something only the IRS can do—and the IRS is known to be woefully understaffed and under-resourced at the moment.

- As I understand it, when the IRS seizes a bank account, that money doesn't go to the IRS; I believe it goes into some more general fund, but I'm afraid I'm not well-informed about that. Civil asset forfeitures go, in most cases, directly to the police department that seized them. That makes the incentives completely different. (Even if I'm wrong, and assets seized by the IRS go into its budget, that still doesn't create the same kind of incentive that we see with these police departments, given the number of stories of officers in these small podunk towns driving extremely expensive cars off the job and buying extremely fancy police toys on the job with the seized money. The IRS, being a much more supervised federal government department, is going to have to account much more clearly for its expenditures.)

"Their equity" is the wrong way of thinking about it - the RSU schedule is fully visible up front, and in the first 2 years low RSU grants are offset by a sign-on bonus. In my case, I was told what my target TC per year was, and that is what I've received (at minimum), just made up of a varying mix of bonus and RSUs. Saying that un-vested RSUs are "mine" is like laying claim to next year's salary before having done any of the work to earn it.

Pre-pandemic, I occasionally got some recruiter email from them and they were always really insistent about relocating to the Seattle area (something I wanted to do about as much as I want a hole in the head). Makes me wonder if they've done a good job with their remote culture.
Ok either I've slipped into an alternate reality or you have no idea what a slippery slope argument is, because it literally has nothing to do with any of what you said...

But furthermore, I never claimed that "what we're doing is ok" (it's not, Guantanamo is still bad obviously), rather I claimed that whataboutism is about CONTEXT. Bringing up tangentially related US issues in a debate about greater Chinese war crimes is a bad faith argument specifically because its purpose is to muddle discussion, confuse scale (less than 40 Gauntanamo prisoners vs 1,000,000+ prisoners in Xinjiang). The time and place for an argument makes a difference -- if you're talking about how bad the Germans are for the Holocaust, and I interject by talking about an event where an English Jew was murdered in 1935 by an anti-semite, are you not allowed to criticize me for derailing the conversation? I could say "anti-semitism is wrong at any level" or "the English do bad things to, why won't you acknowledge that", and I would be totally out of line because of the context of the discussion of the holocaust, because comparing some Englishman getting murdered to millions dying in death camps is dishonest.
I gotta apologize. My post was a knee-jerk reaction to the headline of the original post, and to the notion that Tesla's FSD program was "marketing hype". The blog post by Brooks is actually very interesting to read. Thank you for sharing it - I just upvoted.

Regarding the "marketing hype":

Phrasing it this way, to me, implies that Tesla wasn't really seriously working on the problem. Or that FSD by way of cameras + neural nets was an approach that has already been demonstrated to be a dead end. Both of which I don't think is true.

It's true that Tesla has been promising a coast-to-coast autonomous drive since 2016. They have, as they say themselves, "egg on their face". Also, it's true that one can argue over several of their design decisions. But I think there is a difference between a group of people working towards a hard goal, and a group of people knowingly creating unrealistic expectations for marketing reasons.
Am I the only one who hates the phrase, " __ major"? One can "major" in a subject for all of three weeks. It's not some indicator of any sort of knowledge. At least the phrase, "___ graduate" implies that they at least learned enough to be issued a degree.
My reading is that OP was disappointed that they weren't leveled as senior, yet, they left the company because they were working on the tech they want to be an expert of.

It strikes me as a misunderstanding on how career evolution works in these companies (and, I believe, most tech companies). A senior eng will focus less on the pure technical aspects (language, framework, etc), but rather will have the soft skills allowing them to carry larger projects/impact.

For instance, with experience, a senior can identify design mistakes early, can weight the value of different solutions based on aspects like time/eng-cost, tech debt, complexity, risk.

In a company of the size of Shopify, shifting away from "Rails ERB templates" to a more modern solution definitely require these skills (and also probably way more than 6 months of tenure). They could have proposed this project, tried to get some buy-in and learn new "frontend skills".
Not to fall into the obvious trope too much, but: Your legacy code has tests for edge cases? I'm happy when it has any tests. More often, it's untested and I write the tests myself before refactoring the implementation.

That's very interesting. I hope they find a way to embed it into our natural enamel. I've had problems with sensitive teeth and enamel for years.

I actually found a very interesting toothpaste with a substance that Sensodyne used to sell in the US, but completely abandoned it and now only sell it in the UK. Which is why I order my toothpaste from the UK. It a a very interested compound called NOVAMIN (Calcium Sodium Phosphosilicate) which is a "bioglass"

>NOVAMIN forms a robust hydroxyapatite-like layer over exposed dentin and within exposed dentin tubules
You can read more about it on GSK's website: https://www.gskhealthpartner.com/en-ca/oral-health/brands/se...
It includes the studies that have been done on it. Here's a seller in the UK that's selling a 2 pack for $22. It is a bit pricey, but I do feel it's worth it for the price as my sensitivity has gone down greatly while using it. I use half a strip of Colgate sensitive (as it has potassium nitrate in it, which tells the nerve ends in the dentin to stop firing as that can cause painful sensitivity) and half a strip of Sensodyne w/Novamin. https://amzn.to/3gupUcX

I originally found the stuff through this article on medium called "The curious history of NovaMin toothpaste". Apparently, it might have been originally created to help bone regeneration of injured military personnel & there's kind of a 'conspiracy' as to why it's not sold in the US.
