A similar idea was expressed by Marx, who referred to it as estranged labour. Forgive the lengthy quote:

> the object which labor produces – labor's product – confronts it as something alien, as a power independent of the producer. The product of labor is labor which has been embodied in an object, which has become material: it is the objectification of labor. Labor’s realization is its objectification. Under these economic conditions this realization of labor appears as loss of realization for the workers; objectification as loss of the object and bondage to it; appropriation as estrangement, as alienation.

> [...]

> the worker is related to the product of labor as to an alien object. For on this premise it is clear that the more the worker spends himself, the more powerful becomes the alien world of objects which he creates over and against himself, the poorer he himself – his inner world – becomes, the less belongs to him as his own.

I personally dont require that consistency, I was merely asking WHY there is a difference in treatment of the same method (making generalized statements about group behaviour) when applied to different qualifiers. And yes, just as you've said, maintaining that consistency does imply that you suddenly can't use any statistics at all.

Point taken on "prosecutor attitude", sorry about that. riding "moral high horse" got to my head.
The fact that it gets out of your way is a feature. Why does security matter on a single user, non-multitasked environment with no networking?

The netsec industrial complex has really set back computing.
You’re confusing rights and entitlements.

Yes, Coinbase, Binance and other big exchanges offer OTC trading where you can trade pretty large amounts without impacting the market at large.

Haha never heard this one before!
I am curious why is all of Thomas 100M+ in a single wallet ?

Also it seems strange to hold most of it in aETH, wouldn't you want to diversify a bit?
Regarding destruction:

I do not remember details, as I didn't play Sims much, but there was a persistent rumour that by pausing the game at appropriate time - mid-jump into swimming pool by a sim and replacing the target swimming pool tile with a toilet, one could get a Sim to swim in the toilet seat.

Another one, which I definitely had seen, involved taking away all doors, then replacing all of the house floor with swimming pool, for obvious end result.
If we use the punching metaphor, in either case one is committing an act of "violence", which I think most people would acede is negative at least in the large scheme of things.
> I don't think she actually did any female protagonists at all.

Of course there's Therese, the well-developed protagonist of The Price of Salt (aka Carol), a lesbian romance. This work and its movie adaptation are the reason she's a gay icon - both are popular and well-loved.

Highsmith published The Price of Salt under a pseudonym after her success with "Strangers on a Train", which is driven by the masculine characters you mention. From what I can tell, The Price of Salt is more directly based on her personal life, or rather her fantasies, and part of the reason she used a pseudonym is that her agent warned her that writing a lesbian novel would be career suicide. Wikipedia has more here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Price_of_Salt
"Highsmith described the character of Therese as having come "from my own bones"."
> Did this behavior start with the coda of Office Space or has it always been a thing?

No, it's such a cliche that's why Office Space chose to use it.

The movie Lost in America explores this theme much more generally.

The funniest thing about the end of Office Space is that by "dropping out" of software during the Y2k era and entering the construction field, the protagonist is just swapping one bubble for another, software for housing.
No, that's not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is cVDPV2 (i.e. vaccine derived type 2 Polio). Type 2 Polio is extinct in the wild, but the vaccine derived version refuses to stop.

The trouble is the only way to stop cVDPV2 is to immunize for it - but that same immunization is what creates cVDPV2 in the first place.

Until a better vaccine arrives, it doesn't look like we'll ever eradicate it, Taliban etc aren't changing that. However there might be good news:

"March 2021 saw the first use of the modified nOPV2 vaccine in selected countries. This was engineered to allow vaccination against strain 2 poliovirus without the frequent spawning of cVDPV2 seen with the original OPV2. Full rollout was not expected until 2023."

If that works, then eradication might succeed.
I've decided that I will soon be done with tech after 35 years. I find the tech industry exhausting and disappointing. It is really hasn't gotten any better than it was when I started and in some significant ways it is worse. The whole practice of software needs [citation needed] and [condemned by the board of health] notices slapped on it. Ignorance reigns and there is new ignorance every day lest anyone ever learn anything. Cliquishness, fetishism and cargo culting are rampant and that is not even commenting on the fringes like cryptocurrency. The scabrous larcenous fucks who want to take over the internet with "web3" might likely succeed because the investor class is filled with rapacious sociopaths and grifters who will happily ally themselves for another quick buck.

It is all shit and it is not fun any more.

Having spent several summers working manual labour and others spent working as a school janitor I certainly don't long for those jobs. I will probably spend my time on personal health and volunteering including tutoring. I will presumably continue to write software for my own enjoyment but I am indifferent about even participating in open source as it has become, too often, a cudgel used by one company or faction against another rather than a societal good.
It may be self-selecting tech workers who feel excessive stress from their job, or, really are disastisfied and ready for a change.

I can confess to passing the person holding the STOP and SLOW sign at a construction site, and even saying out loud, "Now that's a job I could do."

But when the fog clears, and the paycheck lands in the bank, it's, well... nah. I'd rather put up with the stress or ennui and have the cash.
> Well, yes, owning things is definitely the best job, regardless of what industry you're in.

Unpopular opinion: being an owner is hard. You think it's easy until $80k doesn't come in on time and you have to make payroll by mortgaging your house, or you have to wake up at 2 am because a developer got arrested by INS (even though they were a US citizen), or you have to deal with a $150K medical bill that your insurance wouldn't cover... etc... Or an employee tries to make a copy of your code and launch a competing business...

Life is hard.
> less smoking ads -> less smoking

Maybe, and so what? Let other people do what they want, as long as it doesn't affect you.

Unless of course you're the standard do-gooder who can't bear to see others do things you have decided is wrong for them. If that's the way your brain is wired, there nothing left to say.

>less people smoking -> less harm to bystanders is true (which it obviously is).

It don't think it's obvious at all.

A smoker polluting other people with their second hand smoke is a smoker infringing on other people's freedom and right not to be poisoned.

And this is one rare area where government are actually supposed to be useful: defending your freedom not to be subjected to other people's stupidity.

That can perfectly happen without preventing people to poison themselves should they decide to.
Their newsletter is "The Guinea Worm Wrap-Up"? That's painful in more ways than one. Fortunately the Guinea Worm is on its last legs. (ahem)
Fasting is one thing. Living in a rural environment is another. In the old days Greeks didn't have cars (there weren't even any roads) so they had to walk - a lot. 20 kms a day maybe. The people of the Aegean island of Icaria are famous for their long lives, but in the past they would walk from one village to the next over mountainous terrain, where today there are tarmac roads and cars. This according to my grandmother's boyfriend who died in his late 90's. He was active until the end, never able to sit unoccupied after a lifteime of hard work- and he was sound enough of mind to teach me backgammon.

I mean to say, diet is often not the only thing that sets these rural populations apart from city-dwellers. Not many office jobs in the countryside, I guess.
It’s not sustainable with our current consumption standards, especially considering AC usage, space usage for single-family homes, and meat consumption.

If everyone was a vegetarian living a dutch lifestyle we’d have no issue, that’s true.
HN favorite ‘Godel, Escher, and Bach’ is written in this style.
Yeah, but then it's on me to run a counter-campaign to preserve rights that I already have.

I get the reasons why those processes exist, especially for condos, but it's just not for me. I grew up in a rural area, so my idea of ownership is probably tainted by space being a non-factor and enforcement of any kind of laws, much less non-governmental ones, being sparse.

I'm hanging on to hope that remote work will become a major factor in the job market so that I can move back to the country without having to resort to the rural IT job market.
> Ultimately there are no laws in war save vae victis, and while I believe the attribution of the idea to Bismarck is only apocryphal, I agree that the best and only way to curtail the brutality of warfare is to make war with maximum intensity in the cause of making war maximally short - if you can possibly manage it, by not having a war at all.

I agree.

Pretending that we can have a “clean” war just makes war more likely and makes wars drag on ultimately killing even more people and causing more destruction in the long term.
That just means that you were part of the scam. Hell; somebody approvingly reading this comment might be the bagholder of the future, shooting himself after all of his savings have evaporated into some ETH tycoon's pocket who dumped before the market locked up.
I would say a classic old school LAMP stack is as close as you're gonna get to no dependencies (assuming you count frameworks as dependencies)
Nice to see someone else posting about this. I just saw this notice a few days ago and immediately went out and bought some tp-link cams to replace them with.

I've always been confused about the local recording with wyze - never finding where in the app I can bring it up - but just assumed it was there somewhere since I added the sd cards to them..

I would be extra ticked off if I was out of town and got this message that my cams would stop working unless I paid the extortion fees.

One of the selling points of this system was that you did not have to pay for cloud crap - and now that's out the window it seems.

Might be time for a new list of non-cloud needed cam systems.

I need to do some amazon reviews to put this new info as an update I guess.

c'est la vie wyze - I was always on the edge of trust / not trust.. and now you've proven true colors, which makes me worry about other things with your hardware / software.

If someone can firmware replace I'd love to know, I have three wyze cams open and in use and two brand new in a box - useless to me now.
> I'm not sure if this is an unpopular opinion

> Actually, spoken as someone who has played his fair (1000h+) share of Counter Strike Global Offensive since it came out

Something doesn't add up about your story. You really played 1kh+ and have never seen how much people hate cheaters?

Anyway, there's a very simple psychological explanation for why they do: Video games are only as good as the rules they abide by. If you go into a game and are surprised by rules you didn't know existed, then that's no fun. Likewise, if you have to guess if someone is a hacker to determine if you're able to defeat them, that's a surprise, and no fun. It's frustrating enough when you pull off a daring maneuver and suffer a framerate stutter or network congestion and the opponent gets away or destroys you. Now imagine when the other person (surprise) is playing by a different set of rules where they can see you around corners and never miss.

i ended up with a fastapi (on lamdas) and retool as a frontend. I really like it.
You can add Arachne to this list.
The confounding variable is how large a country is (both size and population - two variables that are themselves related).

The papers “birth rate” is absolute: thousands of births per year in that country. It should be number of births per woman of childbearing years.

Likewise, the number of stork pairs is the absolute number in the country. It should be absolute number per square kilometer, or per square kilometer of stork habitat.

A geographically larger country will (generally) have more people and more storks.

Edit: there are also some outliers heavily influencing things: Poland and Turkey have tons of storks. Belgium, Denmark, Holland, and Switzerland don’t seem to have native storks.
Why would someone borrow when they already have funds? For example I heard of one guy locking up $600k collateral to borrow $300k. Makes no sense.
> I used to have thoughts about how it would be nice to have a job with totally spelled out requirements that end at 5pm and then you have the rest of the day off

In addition to your other good points, I used to work construction, and it was never like this. Requirements were not spelled out, and we constantly had to deal with unexpected issues, or ridiculous homeowners with dumb ideas. Timelines and deadlines were harsh, and you were often blocked by somebody else's work, but were still expected to finish by a given date.

You and the other commenter have got to be joking.

My point was that office-work is far away preferable to daily physical labor. I’ll take sitting over throwing out my back, blowing out my knees and having constant pain. Not to mention the hazards of working with chemicals or industrial equipment or electricity, and so on.

Of course there are options that I use like exercising and standing desks. My point was that this is a significantly better situation health-wise than working in trades. And that I have the privilege of doing that.
Upvote for LoL.
Doesn't it only work at runtime?
Allow me to point out the Prince Albert Memorial.
Yeah, there's a whole bunch of examples. The fates, too.
> My GR professor was famously one of the worst academics at the department and he never taught us any of that. His specialty was GR too.

This is disappointing, but unfortunately I don't find it surprising. I have learned GR by self study over many years, starting with borrowing my office mate's copy of Misner, Thorne & Wheeler when I was in graduate school; I never actually took a course in it. But the reports I had from people who did were that the professors did not do a good job of explaining things. Unfortunately being good at research and being good at teaching are two very different things and not many people have both.

> The only two misconceptions you are correcting here is that tidal forces can be quite weak at the event horizon and the universe does not come to an before passing through it.

I did correct those two misconceptions, but those weren't the only ones in your post.

I set a timer that goes off every 45 minutes. At which point I'll walk around for a couple of minutes and do some push ups and pull ups.

In the mornings I walk my daughter to school: 25 minutes exercise.

At lunch time I'll take a 30 minute walk.

There's no reason to be unfit as a software developer.
Trigonometry The Easy Way, was brilliant! I wouldn't categorize it as forced in the manner of the OP. The book creates a fantasy backdrop to connect trigonometrical concepts in a fun way. I really enjoyed the book and it made trigonometry really stick in my brain!
I have a couple Wyze v2 cams that have been so-so performance and connection-wise. It works fine for what it is but for the initial price I don't have much complaints. This new service, I understand why they're doing it, but I wish they had an option to not use the cloud, just keep the motion detection segments on the SD card.
I’d thought about Leavenworth, but I wouldn’t call it rural. It’s quite developed for a rural town.

And according to OP, my instincts were on spot. :)
I’ve seen this argument a lot. It’s was just changing a tap. I don’t have to pay $350 to just someone look at it and tell me your don’t have any damage.
i use this setup (besides using python fastapi code in the backend) and i really love it. Retool is awesome.
NFTs could be used to manage domain names, which might be a helpful replacement for ICANN.
A very large percent of infosec consultants don't really know what they're talking about, and only succeed because of the hand-holding their automated and semi-automated tools afford them.

Most of them refer to themselves as Advanced after taking their first course, even if they have no practical experience on anything other than the type of systems they have at home.

"I just treat it like a black box" really means "I'll just run Nessus and call it a day."

For me it's becoming a barista. Something social, where I'm not sitting all day. Something with an artisanal bend to it, that can be appreciated by more people than a handful of your coworkers.
To be fair we should be weary of both systems. Crypto isn't something sustainable in the long run. USD isn't a ponzi scheme, it is backed by commerce. Crypto isn't the multi sales and trades of goods are what dictate the value of the currency.
Looks cool, does this require you to power cycle the device when you want to quit a game?
It sounds like you don't believe what you just said you did? I'm genuinely asking what you believe, as opposed to what you assert for the sake of argument.

For me, it's not an easy topic but I would say when negative generalizations escalate to exclusion and dehumanization, that's probably where to draw the line.

I know some people with Audis and I don't think worse of them or anything like that. It's just a funny thing that's hard to ignore after a while on the road.
For me CherryPy is my go to as opposed to Flask because I can define classes that are Restful and paths that go to those routes.

If I want more power I reach for Django since it has an automatic admin UI.

I have heard really good things about FastAPI for Python but never used it.
I'm a large fan of Django/Python for anything CRUD-like.

It has been my go-to web framework for the better part of a decade and I continue to be impressed with it. "The web framework for perfectionists with deadlines" tagline is quite apt, as it has the highest combo of power and developer efficiency of any framework I've come across even today.

It is Python, which gives you the entirety of the Python ecosystem including all of the data science stuff and a bunch of Django-specific extras if you need them.

With the recent crop of Javascript-less tools like HTMX and AlpineJS you can do most things without any Javascript at all. Bootstrap or Tailwind both work great for CSS.

I still find the database ORM to be one of the most pleasant ways to interface with a datastore, and the migrations system usually makes database changes pretty easy. Can work with Postgres, Sqlite, mySql and a few others.

It has basically zero external dependencies besides one or two tiny ones.

I've been pleased with how easy it has been to keep Django upgraded. It feels like relatively little has changed in a backwards incompatible way compared to some of the frontend churn I've experienced.

It's widely used, and so it is relatively easy to find people who can work on a Django codebase compared to something more obscure. Django embraces convention over configuration, so if you've worked on one Django codebase you can probably work on another.

The documentation is excellent, and since it is widespread there is a huge amount of learning materials, articles, and Stackoverflow questions around.

Django has 16 years worth of work put into it and is extremely well tested. It implements a lot of the security things I have no interest in trying myself, like password hashing, sanitizing, etc.

Unless your requirements call for extreme performance needs or massively big data, Django can probably handle your workload just fine.

You can get pretty far with the base framework, and then if you need something else, consult the massive list of extras: https://awesomedjango.org/

Happy to answer any Django questions. Cheers
I think Carter is a decent human being, served his country, a devout Christian, and has done a lot of good in his post-presidency. But he was a terrible president. My father, a lifetime straight-ticket D voter, could not bring himself to vote for him a second time. The economy of the late 70s was a nightmare. High inflation, double-digit interest rates, low growth. Energy crisis (I remember sitting in school with most of the lights off and wearing winter coats because the heat was set so low). Iranian hostage crisis, and rescue debacle. It was not a good time.
Hard to trust someone who got rich stealing other companies IP then ptting them out of business by bundling them with Windows. At least according to the DOJ.
It would be compressed all to hell, and you’d be able to dance to it. Might not have the guitar work or such complex guitar work.
What I mean by cognitive dissonance is “I have never read a business plan”, followed by “I wrote something I called a business plan, but is it really a business plan? I don’t know what a business plan is”, to “what I meant by business plan is 20 pages of fluff”. The rhetoric is so incohesive that one could not possibly engage in constructive dialogue. We’re wasting our brain cells here.

Words have meaning, and pg has done a poor job articulating himself in this instance, if his goal is to be understood. Since pg is a social media personality and his business ventures stand to benefit from his social media audience, reasonable people may speculate that his goal is NOT to be understood, but rather to drive engagement, and to that end he has been successful here. But it’s not actual thought leadership, it’s purely marketing.

The hate/cancel/pitchfork sentiment expressed by some replies, could be seen then as an intended consequence of pg’s remarks - the outrage-driven engagement cycle is a well known dynamic in social media. And the defenders like you are the other side of the same coin. It’s amazing and somewhat sad, but not surprising, seeing smart people get worked up over this.
