> By design, you should be open "IDE" chest to get enough gold to go to Git Island. Didn't you open that chest?

I now see there was a circle with a key that I was supposed to press to open the chest and get the gold. It wasn't obvious and since it didn't hinder progression I didn't realize like I had/should/could click that.

> ``` I'm learning programming in a game, come to JavaIsland coordinate (BJ, 94), open the chest with my invitation code 5ZwPT6OWwipmHRG, you and me can both get 500 gold. Join me at ByteLegend https://bytelegend.com ! ```

I could only find the issue by clicking one of links for details and looking into the "check problems with code" logs to find that commit was missing a new line at the end of the file. Seems unlikely a programming beginner would look that far without being prompted.

If they could get a bigger cargo bay on a rocket, a lot of the risky folding mechanisms could have been removed. They could have used a design closer to the Hubble, Spitzer or Neowise.

The next telescope being planned out is LUVOIR which be even bigger so they will still need to continue with folding mechanisms given the bigger size. They may need to eventually think of modular telescopes that are assembled in space.

I was wondering why the star has 6 crisp points and found an explanation here (a 3 minute video):

The most interesting part of the video explains why even your naked eye viewing the sky at night will cause this effect -- it's due to imperfections in the lens of your eye.
I think it depends. If all these meetings are about closing deals with clients then sure. But execs engage in a variety of work related social activity. So dinner with another exec, grabbing a beer or coffee, turning a debrief into a lunch all count towards the self-reported 80 hours. A lot of outings with external stakeholders are also low stakes. I'm an introvert and I have never found these work related lunches and dinners anything close to real work. In addition, eating out on the company card relieves you of the personal work of preparing and shopping for meals on those days.

The problem in my view is not how we categorize work vs non-work but how people homogenize different types of work to create unrealistic expectations of what work is and how much of it we should be doing.
A side effect of tenent friendly laws is that owners get more and more picky about who they rent to in the first place. It's cheaper to have a place empty for a few months than to take a risk on a potentially bad tenant.

Ultimately this is creating a class of people who can't rent. Their track record is poor - or if not them specifically they are in a group with a poor track record.

Not surprisingly this mostly affects the poorest and most vulnerable - those with the least job security - those with health/work issues and so on.

This overlaps with the group least likely to actually be able to purchase a home to begin with.

This issue will not be solved with free-market economics. Either one accepts the need for some layer of free social housing, or one accepts that a decent chunk of society will be homeless.
Some side by side comparisons just now:

"pizza near me" - Google suggested a well rated place within 5 miles. DuckDuckGo suggested a pizza place 91 miles away??

"busted kids lip" - Google says gauze and a cold pack. DuckDuckGo says salt water??

"best monitor for mac" - Google says Dell Ultrasharp with 4.5 stars and 738 ratings on amazon. DuckDuckGo says BenQ 4 stars with 174 ratings on amazon?

how is this better?

It literally started with the Austrian empire invading semi recently independant Serbia for bullshit reasons. Yes I guess we can see how russia is evil now. And when we look back at ww1 we think that the situation Was much more ambiguous with tons factors and motivations from all sides. but that's hindsight! if you go back to 100 years ago that was exactly how the french or the russians were justifying the war. "The evil Austrians were trying to subjugate our slav brothers and we need to save them". The Austrians will probably not stop at serbia, and take over the balkan. Yet, we can still see that saving the Serbs was not worth the carnage of the great war.

My point here isn't that russia will be proven right in the future.
Its that war always sounds like a good solution, or even the only solution to avoid something worse.
But we have to avoid getting into that same cycle over and over again, Especially when we are in a nuclear world.

By the way, the comparison with 1939 Germany is completely spurious imo. Germany did not attack Poland because it was a democracy, had already purged it's own Jewish population, had started gassing the disabled and mentally ill, had already eaten 2 medium-sized countries in a year, was in an offensive pact with italy, openly planned to engage in ethnic cleansing...

If you think that is comparable to the current situation then all nuance has been lost and all wars are comparable to ww2. That ww2 was morally unambiguous makes it very convenient to use and project ourselves as the equivalent of the allies in 1939 and call for military action while the opposite is true for the first war. But the comparison is still baseless beyond the war rhetoric

Steve Hanna introduced me to Christopher Alexander's work. I was consulting at Intel, writing the Intel 4004/4040 native code assembler for the Intellec Microcomputer Development System. Steve and I shared a fascination in how systems and program get designed. Steve got me to read Notes on the Synthesis of Form and I was hooked. Somehow I'd missed it when it appeared in the Whole Earth Catalog. It certainly influenced my thinking. Years later, I got to know Christopher Alexander, the creative mind, and was continually surprised at how similar architecture and computer systems design are to each other. Christopher came to Stanford and gave talks. He was inspiring and exciting.

Why is that not a good reason? Our surrounding very much impacts many of our thinking, productivity. And some people do benefit from a focused environment, you can't really dismiss that as "artificial need".
Very often they go into product management roles
> landlords don't actually produce land or provide housing

of course they do - they provide it by being part of the capital flow, which starts at construction. It might not be the same person, but it's a chain of financing that lead to the landlord purchasing the property.

Superior resources is just another name for capital. And you need capital to fund the construction. The landlord is just the last chain on this funding, and without them, the builders would not build (for who would be buying?).

Shelter is a cost. Everybody pays it, whether you own your own building or renting.

> every renter would have the option of being a landlord

they do if they had the capital. No one is stopping anyone from making a bid for a property - unlike back in the old days where people who were slaves were not entitled to own property as a right. The fact that some people have more capital and is willing to bid higher is how the current free market system works to allocate capital.

Turning an existing application into a accessible one is a huge issue, but only if it was built without accessibility in mind.

That is a bit like saying "todays applications do all sorts of potentially dangerous operations and need to be integrated with social media etc. Making all that secure is certainly possible at a small scale, but very hard to do consistently by an organization if engineers and designers on each product team don't have a solid understanding of IT security work or the OWASP top 10. It is also hard to have any quality control on this without having someone actually pen-testing every product."

Yes, accessibility is work. But not optional. If you build non-accessible websites you are just bad at your job.

I think one of the important things about virtue signalling is that you're making a big deal about the prescribed norms that everyone is, in our unofficially official ideology, supposed to follow.

It'd be like flying a great big flag that says "I support the government and corporations." Whenever I see a pride flag, that is essentially what I see. It's like, (and it's useful to read the people who are against you as a mirror), when Patriarch Kirill of Russia says: ". Today there is such a test for the loyalty of this government, a kind of pass to that “happy” world, the world of excess consumption, the world of visible “freedom”. Do you know what this test is? The test is very simple and at the same time terrible - this is a gay parade. The demands on many to hold a gay parade are a test of loyalty to that very powerful world; and we know that if people or countries reject these demands, then they do not enter into that world, they become strangers to it."[1]

That's not far off from the truth. Virtue signalling, as opposed to protest, is oriented towards moving closer to power, rather than further away from it. In Foucauldian terms, protest would be a transgression, a breaking of the taboo, and virtue signalling would be the opposite of that, an adherence to and reinforcement of the taboo, in which one mimetically serves the strengthening of the taboo, until the mimetic crisis breaks into blodshed.

Virtue signalling is wearing the swastika in 1938, and bears no relation to wearing one in 1929, except to say that those who wore it in 1929 won.

I think it originates from the feeling that cross-team innovations are somehow more difficult to pull off. Is this really measurable? No. Would it put a company at risk if there is a chance that such kind of innovation were reduced by 25%? Possibly.

Combine this with the fear of many managers that they will not be able to change policy once they allowed everyone to work fully from home and you get the prevalent policies

"""
Summary:

While everyone is focused on the question of when will general artificial intelligence come to be, there’s another milestone that will probably come earlier- verbal parity.

By verbal parity I mean roughly the ability of a computer, given a string of text, to respond with another string of text as well as a typical human could (weak parity) or to respond as well as a human from the relevant profession could (strong parity). This comes without a presumption that the computer can do things normally attributed to general AI- perception, motor coordination, playing even a simple real-time computer game, etc.

Although in some respects verbal parity can be seen as an extension of the Turing test, thinking of it too much through that framework might be a trap.

There are reasons to think that verbal parity could come well before we currently expect AGI to come. If the current rate of advance is sustained, we can even imagine it happening in a very brief time (5-15 years). The implications of verbal parity would be enormous. These include the automation of a vast swathe of jobs, and, just possibly, a singularity.

If verbal parity comes before general artificial intelligence, that changes the strategic landscape around the control problem, although how it changes it is difficult to say.

Verbal parity might be nearer than general artificial intelligence, and that likely makes the control problem worse because it gives us less time to solve it.

Currently, missing components of verbal parity from the best models include a capacity for ongoing learning without finetuning and a larger window size.

Predictions are included at the end, even though, in general, I hate making predictions I’m making them here is a kind of publicity effort.

I miss the days when SEO was only focusing on a decent HTML semantics, meta tags in order, organic backlinking, a good title that aligned with the content, and a good enough performance.

Right now SEO it's an arms race between google and every SEO agencies, with a keyword being attached to some company that may have 0 relevance to the user.

Doesn't help, that depending on the query, the first results are ads only superficially related. You can search for the name of a popular brand of a car/hotel/insurance, and the first results are the competitors.

All braking will transfer the weight from the rear wheel(s) to the front wheel(s), regardless which brake you're using. So braking with only the rear brake will transfer wight to the front wheels until you loose traction on the rear wheel and just skids.

But this shift in weight can be used to initiate braking: a touch of rear brake will shift the weight forward so that your front wheel gets more traction, and then you apply the front brake. This is even more apparent on a motorcycle.

>Crypto should never be an investment. That is one of its primary flaws.

Yes, that's unintentional, but it is an investment anyway. Yes, it's also a gamble, like any other kind of investment.
Every investment has its risks. This is a very, very risky one.

>Don't believe me? Then I would expect you to be investing in stablecoins. If you only invest in Bitcoin and Ether and not stablecoins, then you are playing the stock market, because stablecoins are kept stable the same way countries can float their currenct to avoid wild swings in valuation.

Of course I believe you, I'm an argentine. In my country people is forbidden to buy other currencies. They "can", but they are limited to 200 USD every month (minus the consumption they spend by paying Netflix and Spotify with credit cards) and it's taxed. And I'm not taking into account a lot more rules. So it's mostly obligatory to use our local currency that loses 50% of its value every year.

We even have a black market for the dollar. It's sold for twice more from what the government says it's worth. When you Google for our currency, that's just the official value. valordolarblue.com.ar shows you the real value for a dollar in pesos, that's how much it's sold for in the streets. The official value only exists for paying us programmers and other exporters half of what we earn when we work for foreign companies (and that's before the 50% of taxes), as we are obligated to convert all our money to argentine pesos. The situation is even worse for farmers, they pay them like 60 pesos per dollar.
So yes, people in my country use crypto mostly for the USD stablecoins. It made the life of a lot of people better too, as the best "investment" here is saving dollars.

>I believe crypto will have a use in the future, but only with stablecoins, similar to commercial paper. As it is today, it is a scam for gambling and illegal activity, and a few people who want penalize their impoverished foreign relatives by sending them tokens that might be worth much less the day after they are sent (the cost of sending >US$10,000 is peanuts compared to the loss of value due to BTC/ETH fluctuations).

I do so too, but I don't think that the investing / gambling side will disappear. Like it or not.

But I also think that tying the value to the US Dollar or any other currency is disappointing and a bad idea, as it's keeping itself to being marketed as such and, as I said, causes a competition against the Fed. And the disappointing part is that crypto shouldn't strive to be just a dollar or an euro.

Having an stablecoin without pegging it to another specific currency would be ideal.
