1976 I was part of a US National Science Foundation project for high school students. Someone had a teletype on 300 baud modem in the house we stayed at, and played it there. Good times, and also highly formative.
The past is history,

The Two Most Dismissive Words on the Internet
I didn't know this was a thing. This works I think.
It was much harder to start in 2000 compared to 1990… it’s always the same every year it’s not harder it’s just harder to see compared to what you can look back to understand… the same is true today as it was yesterday and should be tomorrow - make something to help someone by adding value to what they do… charge them money for it - listen to how they use it etc etc … it’s never been easy IMO…. Finding the inflections is when you can make a unicorn but you can certainly build a business without one IMO… granted I’ve grew up with AOL surging and then collapsing … failed a few times and maybe have something that finally works … so who knows unless you try
At MSRP? If so, where?
I'm doing what the parent comment suggested. The line of credit should be margin - you borrow against your stocks. If you use Fidelity, you can call them and ask them to lower your interest rate, and it can actually get really low.
I wonder how he was caught? Routine audit? A snitch/whistleblower?

One suspects his fraud within Apple's supply chain (taking kickbacks from his buddies and awarding parts contracts in exchange) might never have been discovered, had he not attempted to fool the IRS.

Depends on how egregious it was, I guess. If he was awarding contracts to obviously inferior vendors, I'm sure that would draw attention. If the vendors were roughly equal to other vendors (or the differences were esoteric enough to go unnoticed) I could see it flying under the radar indefinitely.
>who still seem to have jobs (e.g. Jordan Peterson).

Do you want a list of examples of other academics who were harassed and fired for saying this same idea to be convinced it's actually quite a cancellable idea, or is one academic not being fired (and not for lack of trying) enough for you to be convinced that "kindness" is an effective cancel shield?

>You can't swing a dead cat in conservative circles without hearing, verbatim

It's kinda a natural position when you can't swing a cat (dead or alive) in a trans community without both you and the cat changing gender. I, for instance, am not traditionally conservative (atheist and vegetarian, which are not traditionally conservative positions where I live. Also a moderate trans supporter.) and I still arrived at such an idea purely by observation.

>And the "Can you write an OS in it?" is not a good metric for, "Can I write quality software?"

My analogy was meant to convey the fact "Banning certain kinds of languages effectively bans certain kinds of expressions", no more and no less. You can't write an OS in a programming language that doesn't expose low-level memory primitives, and you can't talk about sexual predators grooming teens in a natural language that doesn't expose quite a lot of non-polite primitives.

You saying that you could write quality software without them being OSes is like saying that you could say truths in China without them being truths about Tiananmen square, yes off course you can, but if you do want to talk about Tiananmen square, you're out of luck. Nobody ever said censorship suppresses the full 360-degree field of conversation, just a very particular cone that upsets the censors.

Apparently HL: Alyx may be that kind of thing. Problem is, it's just one game, and it took years and lots of efforts to make for probably very little return on investment.
Comparing Windows and macOS to Linux is moot and we should stop doing it. Linux has always been and will continue to be an ecosystem driven by various communities, and expecting everyone to agree on the same standards is silly.

The sooner we all begin treating Ubuntu and Red Hat Enterprise Linux as separate Operating Systems the sooner we can all move on from the "single standard" and "Linux on Desktop" debates. As an application vendor I always find it amusing when customers ask if we support Linux. My response is no, we don't support Linux but we do support Ubuntu 18+ and RHEL 8. Linux distros are so wildly different these days, not just in software but in ideologies, that this distinction is important, and there's nothing wrong with that.
Soylent is mainstream enough that my kid -- who was in middle school when it was the buzz -- knows about it as a young adult.

I agree with you, if the broader point is that she always finds the contrarian position, even if there's no evidence for it.

For example, she makes a point here that you need data to gain useful insight into the black hole radiation problem.

That is not true and has no compelling evidence that there will be true, because she cannot predict fundamental new insights about the future nor is it clear this is a problem strictly dependent on data, since we can build models of our world with computational structures.
Ouch. This will mess up my workflow and work email accounts—they all seem to find GSuite irreplaceable.
Hmm I’m not sure I disagree with your premise but I do disagree with the bit about virtualization. It was pushed by corporations (and things like docker) because they do provide a quality of life I never had before. Im talking just development at that, I don’t keep a local Linux server anymore (I was a dialy user for 15 years) because it’s all just a docker compose away.

I think it definitely had its place before containerization but that is when it took off everywhere. It wasn’t a single push it was a years in the making process.
The 2008 bailouts spanned both the Bush and Obama administrations, we can even round them up to $1T each for a total of $2T. Keep in mind those 2 bailouts took the economy from near failure to the longest bull run in history.

The size of the bailouts - excuse me stimulus packages - in the last 2 years make 2008 look like a joke in comparison, and it looks like every few months a new “stimulus” will be passed that is larger than any 1 of the 2008 bailouts.

You can go meta and think about what is knowledge and what is scientific method.

Knowledge is inherently axiomatic. In other words there are certain unprovable truths (“axioms”) you agree on as granted and then build your theories from based on certain principles (and this is “scientific method”).

In this case “conservation of information” is one of the axioms quantum mechanics is build on. Now, thinkers operating on the fringe of our understanding and advancing our theories have a choice to make: (a) assume it’s true on the black hole event horizon - thus paradox and theories on how to resolve it, (b) assume it’s not true on event horizon. So we don’t know if it’s a paradox at all, we choose to think it’s a paradox because we want our theories to work everywhere. But it’s not necessary correct assumption. When these theories are discussed this is implicitly implied.
In my experience, A) You should always let your manager know about what you think is a serious mistake B) Try to either fix it or let them know how a process could be designed to avoid it. If you do both and get fired anyway, it is probably a shitty workplace anyway.

step one

find a group of enthusiasts that are not quite there yet, such as an enclave of SKitties. give them superpowers, feed the hunger for recognition, silently run support operations, grease things up with cash so it feeds the illusion, in short troll them into thinking they are leet. let them be noticed, and create a fog of war.

step two

now that the show is on start actually infiltrating your hacks in position for a major attack. let your SKitties be the fall guys.

The most worrying thing is that congress has to drastically cut spending and/or raise taxes so the fed can raise rates while still allowing the government to service it's debt.

I believe the government absolutely blew its load propping up lots of entities during the early pandemic who actually did not need propping up at all (in retrospect). In an idealized case, the government would go around and ask everyone "Hey, if you didn't actually need that money, could you give it back?" and people would honestly return it.
Obviously not going to happen though.

I'd like to add that Kung Fu Panda actually illustrates a genuine philosophical conflict between Daoism and Confucianism, which played out across early China during the Spring and Autumn period.

Oogway represents Daoism with its search for inner peace and going with the flow/dao. Shifu, on the other hand, represents Confucianism with its concerns for moral duty and worldly social harmony. The internal and external, immaterial and material—each has a role in the construction of a philosophy conducive to success.

"Oogway explains that he can not make the peach tree blossom or bear fruit before it is ready. Shifu retorts that there are things that can be controlled like when the fruit falls or where the seeds are planted. Oogway finalizes by saying that no matter what is done, the tree will still grow to be a peach tree, instead of any other kind of tree and that great things can happen if it is helped and nurtured. Oogway argues the point of Daoism and that nature will take its course. Shifu argues the point of Confucianism and that everything has order." [1]

Also shameless plug for my essay about Culture, Philosophy, and Reinforcement Learning which comments on similar dualities and their relations. [2]

What's not clear immediately is that this isn't a standalone offering. It seems to be meant for use with their hosting service. So you'd already be in the ecosystem, not trying to hook it up to like a netlify page or something on your own vm.
> Or because the fed is still printing money like there is no tomorrow.

It’s not.

> It is kind of puzzling to read Powell claiming he is worried about inflation while still printing huge amounts of QE at the same time.

QE stopped around the same time as the rate hike, and quantitative tightening (going from stop to reverse on QE) has been announced as upcoming.
Yes, I knew someone who works at Facebook with schizophrenia. Facebook does accommodate him in various ways, such as time off to frequently see a psychiatrist to keep him on track. But in other ways too, such as a flexible work schedule and some work from home (this was before the pandemic.) So Facebook is good about this.
My back of the envelope thought is that the majority of the QE given out during the 2008 financial crisis was given out via the banks who then proceeded to lend/hand it out to Fortune 500 type corporations to keep them (and the banks) from collapsing. The stuff that got inflated/propped up were "assets" that wealthy corporations and individuals buy (i.e. risky VC startups, stocks, bonds, income property such as single family rental homes) - which is not stuff tracked by CPI.

In the Covid pandemic most of the QE stimulus was to enable low interest debt in order to allow Congress to give it out to "the people" via government stimulus checks. "The people" then proceeded to buy stuff that normal people buy - i.e. consumer staples/discretionary goods which is stuff tracked by CPI.

To further expand on "don't worry about it unless it's your job to":

Unless you are able to directly exercise nonzero control over the foreign policy of a nuclear power, the threat of a nuclear apocalypse is sufficiently far removed from anything you can do anything about, that it's tantamount to worrying about a large asteroid impacting the earth. It would be devastating, sure, but it's not productive to genuinely concern yourself with it, because it's unlikely you'll survive and there's not much you can do to change the likelihood of the event or your survival.
I'd rather have fund available than not have funds available going into a financial crisis.

You can't put hunger on credit. If economic sanctions cause the people to start missing meals they will turn on Putin. This is another facet of war, something that would allow Nato to kill Putin without getting their hands dirty.

Past the marketing, it's all at the very end (though poorly worded):

> graph of open source [software] on‐chain creating a map we’ll use to guide value redistribution... compensated without direct payment

Perhaps what they mean to say is.. `tea` facilitates a relationship between payer (commercial user of open source) and payee (open source developer of that software) with a smart contract.

So.. replace payment processor and middle-man fees with smart contract and gas fees? That's mildly interesting, but I'm not even aware of a "centralized" version of this if it exists so not sure it's called for.
IMO there’s a pretty simple rule that you can apply. If you’re planning to stay somewhere for at least 7 years, then buy your home. If not, renting gives more peace of mind.

The problem with buying is that it’s a single large transaction that you can’t spread over time. Over time ownership turns a profit, but if the time span is less than seven years, you may end up buying at the peak and having to sell near a bottom.
I’ll bring a third perspective to this: as an immigrant from a more collectivist society, I am conditioned to see myself as a member of a group. I recognize the benefits of it, but I just don’t like individuality all that much. I’m inclined to be very deferential to what my sources of authority (parents, aunts, uncles, etc.) say to conform to group norms.

What’s driving me nuts is that “identity politics” is about fake identities. Most of these “identity groups” are fronts for the white progressives who donate to liberal causes. E.g. MacKenzie Scott donated tons of money to “AAPI causes.” https://asamnews.com/2021/06/17/mackenzie-scott-donates-2-7-.... What the heck does she know about Asians or what causes they care about? I asked my dad if he could recognize any of the organizations on the list. Of course he couldn’t. What does that tell you about the incentive structure of these identity activist groups? As a result, the “Asian identity” and the “Muslim identity” that I see in the media seems to be essentially progressivism with window dressing, and has nothing to do with what my parents or aunts and uncles think about our culture. In fact, it’s often overly hostile to our values.

“Identity politics” doesn’t actually reflect what people in these groups want, except incidentally. E.g. “Asian activists” flipped out at Andrew Yang for a taking a more pro-policing stance, but most Asian voters supported him in the primary: https://www.slowboring.com/p/yang-gang. White progressives talk incessantly about “Black and brown people” but they hated Eric Adams, who overwhelmingly won the “Black and brown” vote. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/18/opinion/nyc-mayor-adams.h.... It’s not groups pursing their own political interests, but the political capital of minority groups being put in service of causes championed mainly by white people.
can't have it both ways, they either don't [ever] store, or you're too thick

NFTs can in-fact store complete binary data and complete vector data. There are some examples and some production projects doing both of those things. But more commonly they typically load a URL to an image, and people prefer that instead of a URL that its on an IPFS URI, but people accept an IPFS proxy URL.

In all scenarios, a separate technology/viewer/website is used to access the standard method which returns the data to be interpreted. Which is where things are dissimilar. Analogies don't compare aspects that are dissimilar [0]. Any one similarity satisfies the criteria for an analogy.

Given the desire and investment in project/process, we could probably take half of the $100k+ workforce and replace with automation and a dumber, cheaper workforce. Economic crises often drive those decisions.

> I never got the vibe of sects as anyone can be challenged

However, I have definitely noticed that, over time, a certain set of views that were common before, have been marginalized or disappeared altogether. Particularly the libertarian/right-wing of the US political spectrum, which used to be very popular around here, is now substantially under-represented or even completely absent. I say that as someone who hated that perspective - I found certain comments maddening - but in a way it was interesting to hear views that are very far from my background.

Part of it is probably that even tangentially-political content is stomped on extremely quickly by dang. Part of it is that the growth in the number of commenters clearly changed the social and geographical composition of commenters (there are lots of internationals like me now, whereas it used to be mostly US west-coasters). Part of it is probably that certain positions "lost" the public debate. In the end, it's how it is.
I have complete confidence that the economists at the Fed are as qualified as anyone to be leading us right now. I have complete confidence that nobody has any way to know what the best policy is right now.
> Homebrew has been used by tens of millions of creators to build things we all use every day, and yet Max Howell—the creator of brew and co‐founder of tea—was unable to make a living from Homebrew alone.

Homebrew is far from the foundations of Open Source or Linux. It mostly serves to prop up MacOS using Linux originated tech and make it a usable developer experience. Everyone says Apple users are more likely to pay for the things they use and that's why developing Mac and iOS apps is so important. So what happened here?

Many fairly safe investments make approximately what we are dealing with in terms of inflation right now. Your emergency fund might not be MAKING money but you won't be losing it either.

Of course this is a slightly different type of emergency fund (your money will not be able to be withdrawn that same day) but a balanced approach between multiple investments can work well. And of course it probably would not hurt to own some gold and silver safely secured as well if you are really worried about inflation and needing to quickly physically move your assets.
Killer app does not mean you would die without it. It means the app is so good that you would buy the hardware just for that app.

VR isn't dead, but it has no killer apps. It has no obvious path to be the next smart phone. Video game consoles have plenty of killer apps. It's the games.

VR games aren't that great, and the claim seems to be that they're going to be the next big social platform / computer tech rather than a game console alternative.

I own an index to play phasmophobia and beat saber. I'm very pessimistic about the tech's ability to become mainstream.

> Its weird I have to even write that, but I guess I have seen people advertise NFTs as something they are not. So try not to be confused by that.

You just stumbled on the problem. NFTs are inherently confusing.

> you could check with the artist.

Ugh. How do I check with the artist when I don't know who the artist is?! That was precisely my point...in that reddit scenario I can only build consensus about ownership if I have ALL OF THE FACTS. But I don't.

> FT's automate all of those things, and that's a massive tweak to a large market that I can see has been a very misunderstand large market. NFT's won't solve a copyright and license dispute.

> NFT's help after consensus on provenance has been reached once. It helps that consensus persevere. Something the art world has lacked for several millennium.

Ok, so NFTs help with lineage and ownership of value but does nothing to determine who actually originated the art? In other words, NFTs don't care about origination, as long as there is a traceable consensus of monetary value and ownership, regardless of whether that ownership was derived unintentionally.

> Something the art world has lacked for several millennium.

So you solve one half of the equation (lineage and transfer of ownership) but not the other (origination ownership)? Why on earth would an artist want to pursue that model if both aren't true?
