I would say that there are moral positions where you should vote for more taxes on yourself (and others like you), not less. Because always voting for less taxes for yourself is a zero sum game where everybody loses, since the government has to be funded somehow (and I prefer it to be done via taxes versus inflation, which is much more regressive).
Heh, the point about multi-monitor setups breaking window layouts really resonated with me... on Linux. I move my laptop between a dock in the office and a dock at home, and it basically never docks with the correct monitor layout. Sometimes only the laptop screen is recognized, and I have to physically unplug/replug one of the monitors. Sometimes one of the monitors is on, and the other is not. My windows are never in the right place, and always have to be moved to where they should be. I have scripts that try to configure the monitor layout, but they randomly don't work. At home, my machine always hard freezes when connected to the dock (same model as in my office!) and has to be rebooted.

Now, the lesson here is not "Linux sucks" but rather, avoid Nvidia.

Oh, this was the SDI hack, but it needed a separate port expander - it was more involved than just removing a plate.

You could buy the base AV1 "analog" video I/O card and then plug an SDI expansion breakout board (I think the Miranda VIVO was the most popular) into the webcam port, instead of buying the much more expensive AV2 "digital" video I/O card.

Would it be easier or harder for the average person to reach the bar of 'average software engineer', since 'average person' is a less-selective barrier. Your selectivity theory yields the unintuitive result that it's actually easier to meet the bar of 'adequate for average software engineer' when starting from general population than starting from a selective group of software-engineer material. Or maybe, just maybe, it's possible to hold every cohort to an objective standard.
This is good because I always ended up removing the defualt user and creating another or just using root.

You can always mount the SD card partition and put your ssh key into /root to log in with that. An improvement could be to also load ssh key from the /boot partition so also windows/mac users could do that easily.

By the way using root with an ssh key is fine and not a problem in terms of security.
Perhaps the thinking is that it's easier to hire multiple good-enough programmers to get dependable productivity, and to replace one if something goes wrong. In the extreme case, if a company has one programmer who is very good when they're working at peak productivity, but then they have a period of low productivity for whatever reason, that company is in trouble. I've been that person.

> You're fighting scarcity.

No, they're fighting market inefficiency. A free market requires accurate and timely information to be efficient. This is literally people putting constraints on the market for what they are selling so the information is not available to one side, and the price is inflated.

A rational actor should walk away from a system like this, but if that's all that's available around you because of scarcity, you're forced to work at a disadvantage.

Banning this is akin to banning other anticomptitive behavior, such as collusion and monopolies. That is, it's up to the government to decide whether the harm outweighs the problems regulation introduces (regulation always introduces some level of friction and problems, you just hope to minimize them and maximize the benefits it brings) and is thus worth pursuing.
Thats a fair point. But I'd argue that as long as there's a large enough core of agreed upon functionality having app-specific data packed away and carried for free (as plain text) is not a bad thing.

My app, for example, sticks a couple of useful pieces of data in properties but when it creates a TODO item or adds a [[link]] or *heading that semantic meaning is available to any other outliner or task management app using the same backing store.

I guess the argument is that org-mode encompasses a large enough set of core components that its the best place to standardize what can be standard in this PKM/Productivity/TFT space.

I tell you that ECS has eliminated a ton of extra work for my team for a bargain price, and your response is "but you still have to do x, y, and z!" It's like saying that I shouldn't buy a dishwasher because I'd still have to wash the pots.

Yes, we still need to do some sysadmin-y tasks. But ECS handles so many of them that we actually have the time, energy, and knowledge to take care of the few that remain.

(As an aside, keeping language and OS versions up to date becomes a development task rather than an ops task when running Docker + ECS. We increment a version number in the repository and test everything, the same as we do for any library or framework that we depend on.)

The pertinent question is what percentage of advertising is "BS".

We are still in the infancy of the internet and its one dominant usage, the www. It is possible people are overspending on, e.g., www and "in app" advertising because no one is sure what methods or amounts of spending are truly necessary, as "e-commerce" accelerates.

It is a similarly sad state of affairs when people extrapolate the success of some companies engaging in www advertising as a business to mean that current trends towards purchasing www advertising are all backed by objective, empirical evidence and will persist indefinitely. Looking at what has been revealed through litigation against Google and Facebook,1 it appears there is a substantial amount of opaqueness (non-transparency) required for these internet advertising companies to remain successful.

Probably, less than people think. Sealed bid auctions do not increase revenue to the seller, according to auction theory.

Well, not all the information; just what other people are bidding. But all that matters to the bidder is that that other bidders do not have access to more information.

The fact that someone's bid is higher than yours, is not caused by its temporary secrecy.

I can understand they don't want to oversquash - I rebase & squash so that each commit should be able to stand on its own. I think the above link is a good argument for squashing (and rebasing) to the point that each commit should leave the system in a state where everything works, because otherwise you can't use `git bisect` and actually determine if it's good or bad. I will often have more granular commits where I break something and then fix it in the next commit.

You might be asking the wrong question. An equally valid question would be: If Russia didn’t have nukes, would it have so haphazardly invaded Ukraine?

In fact we have a comparative case study. In 1990 Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait. Iraq at the time didn’t have nukes. The USA and other responded by promptly invading Iraq.

Now with this history in mind. Why wouldn’t NATO respond to Russian hostilities by sending their military to protect Ukrainian sovereignty if Russia didn’t have nukes. And with that in mind would Russia have engaged in this horror if it was sure of its futility. All this horrors could have been prevented if we had eliminated these weapons of terror while we had a chance.

NOTE: My main point with this exercise is to provide an alternate hypothetical situation which leads to the opposite results. This is to prove a point that you cannot for certain speculate that MAD has saved lives. An equally valid hypothetical can speculate that MAD actually costs lives.
I think todays equivalent is more running a desktop with a 64 core CPU and 128 GB RAM (or more), with as many screens as you want (I don't find more than two useful, but preferences vary).

I could see VR computing as the mobile version of that. Laptops can be pretty powerful, but their screens are limiting. VR gives you the screen real estate without requiring you to set up monitors where you are.

Houses in the GTA are about 1.6M, resulting in about 7k/mo all-in. Chances are you're not paying 7k/mo as a renter, so it's a bit of apples-oranges. The house costs more, but you get more. You'd have to rent out part of your home and be a landlord to trade that extra space for cash flow. I value my time and privacy at a non-zero dollar amount :)

anecdote: My parents bought a house 35 years ago in a suburb of the GTA. Purchase price was around 250K I think. It was a lot for the time, too! And now it's probably worth 1.8-2M. Amazing! Except 250k @ 6.5% over 35 years is just over 2.2M.

>If it goes scared -> make plans -> pick a plan, then I will blame region 3 if it makes bad plans.

The error in your mental model here is that you equate Region 3 with being the "plan maker". As I said previously, an awful lot of the time Region 2 is actually the decider and Region 3 just rationalizes it. You can see this with the priming research. The way it often goes is

Region 1/2 gets a response -> Region 2 makes a decision on a course of action -> Region 3 rationalizes that course of action.

A researcher may bring in a subject and ask them to describe their idea of a good vacation. Maybe around the room there are influences like pictures of a beach and oranges and the subject talks about planning a vacation to Florida. Meanwhile, with other subjects they use pictures of mountains and there is a higher likelihood the person describes a vacation in Colorado. It's not that their Region 3 was influenced by Region 2; it's literally that Region 2 made the decision without Region 3 even being cognizant of it. You can even see this on an fMRI where the limbic system makes decisions even before the person is consciously aware a decision was made. And then Region 3 comes up with all kinds of elaborate reasons why like "I've always wanted to go to Disney World" or "I grew up skiing and want to try it again."

There's other classic examples of people thinking they are being rational but really just being subject to Region 2's decisions. The 1960 presidential election is a famous example. Different groups were selected (years after the election so the weren't politically biased); one watched the televised debate and the other listened to the radio broadcast. Time and again, each came up with different winners of the debate. The TV group thought Kennedy won, while the radio group thought Nixon did. Why? Because each group's Region 2 got different information. The TV group saw a young, vibrant, tan Kennedy with great hair and saw a pale, sick, Nixon without any makeup. The radio group heard a Nixon with an authoritative deep gravely voice and a Kennedy with a harsh, nasally Boston accent. Yet when pressed, each group was great at rationalizing their choice that had nothing to do with any of that; both based it on the same debate words. If a rational Region 3 made the plans to vote, it would only be based on the content of their words. The fact that it's not, just like the fact that the man with the damaged limbic system couldn't make simple plans like what to have for lunch, points to the fact that many of our decisions are actually rooted in Region 2.

The common perception is that Region 3 gets influenced by the other parts of the brain but ultimately makes it's own decisions as if it's some ultimate judge who weighs all the evidence. We like to think we're rational and consciously in charge. That's understandable but not congruent with much of the research.

What you're essentially doing is blaming Region 3 for Region 2's irrationality.
It's funny; 99% of my interactions with Wolfram Alpha are about dates.
Yeah, right. As you'd know, the size of your system is immaterial when it comes to this stuff, the basic rules are essentially the same in that they all come under the treaty (it's highly unlikely your country isn't a signatory-there being very few that aren't).

In essence, that means the simplest approach is to use dedicated and or standardized systems (i.e.: in measurement/accounting) wherever possible then there's little or no argument when the inspectorate arrives. (From my comment you'll know my background.)

> Properties are one of the top income generator for (pure) retirees

Yes, and that's part of the problem - holding property shouldn't be a viable retirement plan. If they want retirement income they could sell the houses and buy an annuity or invest in productive enterprises (or buy government bonds back in the day - which is no longer an option, unfortunately).

Extracting surplus income from workers via property rent-seeking should not be a way to fund retirement in the first place.
