This is kind of crazy since the technology to move away from leaded gasoline or fuels has been around for DECADES. The fact that anyone is still using tetraethyl lead as a fuel additive is horrendous. We can hit right around 100% octanes right now too from a synthetic chemistry perspective.
Small, minor suggestion: maybe there are free, open source tools that are equivalent to what your wife might be expected to know...you being a techi can spin up some of these free tools, and she can gain some - though minimal - experience...and in her resume, or maybe cover letter tie her experience to these free tools as "similar to the industry standard set of tools...", etc. This helps because it inserts the keywords of industry standard tools, enabling the automated scripts to help get her on HR-system search results...but its not lying since the resume/CV states her experience is adjacent or something...and by then maybe a sympathetic hiring person might give her a shot? Obviously, this is a tiny tactic part of a greater set of strategies that she couild employ. ;-)
Yes, and that can't be avoided. Best you can hope for is that Algolia have their own rate limiting in place that will kick in if someone starts scraping their API with our API key.

Indeed. One would have hoped that Hacker News would be immune from Reddit/Twitter-style "Anything I don't like is illegal/unconstitutional", but apparently not.

"Someone buying up shares of a company before he announces a hostile takeover is inside information and thus illegal!" Good grief.
> the expansion of NATO (which we have not dealt with here)

A voluntary alliance isn't an imperialist agenda (assuming that the sovereign nations have the opportunity to make a truly voluntary decision, without outside coercion).

In fact, many nations have requested voluntarily to join NATO. Ukraine was one such nation, and wasn't allowed in.

Arguing that Russia should get a veto over which defensive alliances other nations join is a pro-imperialist position. You're taking the view that Russia gets to determine the behavior of other nations, because they are "in its security umbrella". I'm sorry, but that position is inherently untenable for an "anti-imperialist".

It's a coherent position for Russian Nationalists, or for believers in Super Power Imperialism.
> And nowhere on reddit or in the media do I see a discussion of the pros and cons of a Ukrainian surrender. It's really hard to see how Ukraine will successfully fend off a country 10x its size. (If someone has an answer as to why that might be realistic, I'm open to hear it).

It's really hard to see that Ukraine by itself could defeat Russia and it definitely seems far fetched, even if the Russian army has shown itself more inept than expected.

But that isn't what is happening either, and a Ukraine bankrolled and armed by the west. That is something else, and that combination might definitely be abel to defeat Russia. So the question is more, is the west or parts of it willing to spend enough and accept escalating tensions with nuclear armed Russia by doing that?

If you look at what Zelensky is doing at the drumbeat of asks for more weapons is obvious that Ukraine is fully aware of this.
I’m sorry, but, to be succinct about that study: lol

Go and read the 3 patient studies they describe.

Not only was there not a control group, the 3 patients had almost nothing in common. Totally different ages, totally different medical histories.

What an absolute garbage study.

Correct. This is why supply is modeled separately from demand.

Supply shocks affect prices differently from demand (typically, preference) shocks as well.
All true, but inequality is dramatically and measurably worse now than it was then, and the costs of things like education and healthcare were much lower.

I wouldn’t call this transparency. It’s designed to cause confusion. Throwing too much information and too many fees to confuse the heck out of you and hope that you’d say “whatever” and book it.
The important difference I'm commenting on is that engineers and physicists rarely get confused about when Newtonian mechanics or thermodynamics are useful models. Even when they do, their "belief" in these laws is not taken as religious or political. Beliefs in models are quickly dispelled when it becomes obvious that the model is too wrong to be useful.

I rarely see economists invoke Econ 101 models such as [1],[2] except in extraordinarily constrained settings.

If you aren't invoking theorems about beta reduction for the simply typed lambda calculus to reason about C's memory model, then consider also refraining from using [1],[2] to analyze pretty much anything in a real economic system.

This isn't pedantic. This is a real difference in how engineers and software people treat laws in the natural sciences vs how laws get treated in economics by the same set.

You can call it a law, or a model, or whatever. The point -- and, not a pedantic one -- is that [1],[2] are almost never accurate enough to be useful and calling them laws doesn't change that fact.

Cape Air's piston fleet is Cessna 402Cs, using the TCM TSIO-520-VB engines. Those engines are not on the G100UL STC Approved Model List.

Adding to the data above some of my personal opinion, which was informed by visiting GAMI's Ada, OK facility, taking the APS course (taught by the GAMI principal engineer), and having seen the fuel demonstrated on the higher-strung TIO-540 Navajo engine: that the 402C's engines would run just fine on G100UL without operational limitations, but as above they cannot legally do that today.
I have a few thoughts:

If you don't know how they can mislead you, it only means you are more vulnerable. We don't know what we don't know. Whole worlds of issues and problems can be easily omitted, for example. Trusting any source as described is a fundamental mistake.

But this is really unnerving:

> Very rarely, that process gets it wrong

Why do you say that? That is not my understanding of the process. Look at all the exonerations from death row, cases that receive the most attention and process. Look at all the abuses of minorities and political outcasts.

> you should be careful of believing 100% anything that involves a DoJ accusation but no indictment

Do you mean, 'indictment but no conviction'? Indictments are easy - the old saying is that a decent prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich.

> Convictions are how we write history. We have now answered the following question: did this guy conspire to violate sanctions? The answer was yes.

That's not how knowledge works; we don't get relief from certainty. What we know is that they were convicted. Many accept, whether true or not, that that process is better than any available alternative; I don't know many people who have as much confidence in its accuracy as you do.

It's such a dichotomy. Twitter's main assets are its users. Twitter is valuable only because of its user base. And the users do have a say. If majority of the users decide against this takeover, they can boycott the platform. But a collective action at this scale is pretty difficult to orchestrate. It's quaint, users have the power to shut down Twitter, but still they can't do it.

I personally love your take. I don't know about this person, but it resonates with me. Especially the part about treating life as a game or competition and the only success metric is work/money/power. I'm by no means a lost cause, but I dabble in that game more than I want to. Or, I should say, I assign too much self worth around those metrics.
Having Fun at Work
I think a better mentality to take for aspiring artists is that you have to absolutely love what you do and completely dedicate yourself to the craft. This might mean everything you say above - live fruggally, marry a banker, etc. You might work side jobs for years or for forever. But if you half ass it even a little bit then it is very unlikely to work out.
Not sure how many people share that "common definition". Most people I speak with day-to-day (who understands blockchain in the first place), would consider "programs stored on blockchain to run when conditions are met" as the most defining feature, and doesn't have to be turing complete for doing so.
I'm sorry you have to go through this. The human psyche is truly marvelous at generating unhappiness. If you are don't have anything and haven't reached your potential you are unhappy because you feel like a loser. If you are on the upswing and growing you might feel unhappy because you didn't make it yet. And when you made it, well, that's when you are unhappy because you are past your zenith. Why is it like this? Who knows, but the Buddhist have some good ideas about it, I find.

From personal experience (I used to lie on the couch wishing I'd die every day for weeks) I can recommend the following three things:

* Move your body in sunlight. I'm not talking about becoming ripped or doing and Ironman or something crazy, I am simply talking about doing an amount and intensity of exercise you can sustain a couple of times a week every week outside when the sun is out. Once I did this for three weeks or so I found that this dreadful feeling of emptiness faded and that I hardly felt discontent anymore. These feelings return when I stop doing that which usually is my trigger to start again.

* Read & follow the book "The Happiness Trap" <https://www.amazon.com/Happiness-Trap-Struggling-Start-Livin...>
I'd credit this book with the single biggest impact on my life. I remember crying from relief after doing one of the exercises.

* When you got yourself together somewhat I'd recommend having a child. It's the most fun and satisfaction I ever had in my whole life and it makes everything else so much better.

I hope this is useful to you and that you get better soon.
I'd managed to get Windows 1.01 to boot on my (at the time brand-new) 2009 3GHz quad-core AMD64 CPU with I think 8GB of RAM. I don't remember which DOS version I was running it on. I'm not sure I knew how much RAM it saw. And it was surely only using 1 core, of course in 16bit mode.

> I applaud my generation for being skeptical, at least from an intervention POV.

As I read it, the poll was not about the wisdom of intervention. I think even the older generation is extremely wary of direct military action by the West againt Russia. Rather, the poll is about the relative moral position of the two combatants. And I think the sympathy for Russia among the young reflected in the poll probably stems from comparative indifference and skepticism about world politics (leading to a tendency to simply ignore the subject), and different media consumption habits. Young people don't watch nearly as much television news, they tend to absorb their news through social media (which of course is filtered through their friends, who also tend to share the same indifference to global politics). It becomes a case of the blind leading the blind.
MS Symptoms May Have Been “Reversed” in Immunotherapy Breakthrough
I, for one, prefer that the computers I interact with be honest about being computers, and not put on a persona (mask) of poorly simulating a human. I think that's why, as a screen reader user, I prefer speech synthesizers that, while highly intelligible and listenable, don't try too hard to emulate natural speech (usually by using recordings of an actual human voice). Today my cofounder talked with me about possibly using some kind of chatbot for customer service, and I'm strongly opposed. But I suppose I'm in the shrinking minority.
> Negotiation is the way out.

How? Putin isn’t going to leave if you ask nicely, and hasn’t left with increased sanctions or when bloodied.

What is the negotiation? Give him half Ukraine?
If there is an open source project out there that you want to be involved in, you just start contributing. Either find an open issue you want to fix, or identify some feature or improvement that you would like to see and implement it. This sounds simplistic, but this is really how you can get your start. Starting a new project and getting mind share and traction is a lot of work, so it is often a better use of your time to get involved in an existing project that aligns with your interests. Good luck!

> My family has furniture from the 1800s that still is solid. The furniture I buy today I have to replace every 5 years and is complete garbage.

This is the perfect example of where this ideology fails. You can _still_ find furniture like those bought in the 1800s that stand the test of time. Cabinetmakers exist and would be happy to build nice furniture that will outlive both the cabinetmaker and yourself. In the age of the Web many of them advertise their services online.

The reason most people don't buy furniture from a cabinetmaker is because their furniture is _expensive_. Make no mistake, furniture in the past was quite expensive as well. Families would save up to buy furniture and preserve it at all cost because of how expensive it was to get nice furniture. Wealthy families would have nice furniture passed down for generations while poorer families made do with their seconds and thirds. Moreover cabinetmakers in the past often relied on cheap stocks of solid wood. In the present, wood has become more scarce due to overforesting and environmental concerns. When you buy furniture made from MDF it uses an order of magnitude less wood than a solid piece of Oak or Poplar made in the 1800s or even plywood from the 1960s. This comes at the cost of worse load-bearing capabilities and brittle joints.

The difference is that consumers now have the option for cheap, environmentally friendly furniture. If a consumer wants long lasting furniture, they could do what most cultures did in the past; save up for furniture over years and commission a cabinetmaker for their services. If you want furniture that lasts made of mostly solid wood and/or plywood, cabinetmakers would be overjoyed to work with you. Most consumers don't care enough about furniture to inflate the cost 10x for long lasting furniture. That's their choice as consumers.
It's sorta funny; I had a call scheduled to talk to a recruiter at Tesla but seeing this reminded me just what kind of guy is ultimately the CEO of the company. I feel very strongly that company culture permeates from the top, and I don't want to swim in whatever cesspool is leaking from the top of that pyramid.

Is she talking to people in the tech industry about roles, or in a bunch of different industries? People here probably have sharp feedback about how to cut through resume screens in tech, but less confidence about other fields.

In recruiting processes where the listed contact is an HR or recruiting person, cold resume/cover-letter pitches are tough, because the person you're talking to actually doesn't know enough to promote someone who doesn't fit the profile they've been told to look for. If that's what's happening, the common advice is to hunt down other people in the company and talk to them directly.
Westfield owner to sell all U.S. malls. What will happen in San Francisco?
People think they're being "enlightened" for holding such views, being able to hold up the magnifying glass to their own society...but it's far more likely that they just live in a bubble. It appears as something of an irony that these very same free societies they criticize not only permit but actually _encourage_ this kind of self reflection through their traditions and institutions.

I think that to truly appreciate life in a western democracy you need to have some real exposure to the alternative/absence.

As I've travelled more, gained life experience, I've become less and less impressed with the ACT of expressing such criticism (particularly the knee-jerk reflexive "whataboutism" sort so frequently launched in response to any criticism of authoritatian regimes) and more appreciative of the fact that it's freely allowed and part of the culture of the free world.

It's called a severability clause https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severability
I think one thing to note here is that a lot of conspiracies are founded on a grain of truth, or at least uncertainty. The problem is that things are taken too far. But finding this keystone is also often the manner in which you can dismantle that conspiracy.

As an example to this, a lot of 9/11 were founded on the "they fell too fast" aspect and "jet fuel doesn't melt steal beams." Both these things are true! The problem is not understanding some basic engineering principles. In this case 1) skyscrapers are have a designed failure mode to collapse in on themselves (and quickly) as to not destroy surrounding buildings if they fail. 2) Jet fuel may not melt steal beams, but it is hot enough that it can cause significant structural weakness, enough that the weight of 1/3rd of a skyscraper will cause said beams to break. Understanding this makes it a far more likely scenario than Bush allies placing hundreds of thermite bombs all around the WTC without anyone noticing.

But the problem is that there was something odd that doesn't fit general knowledge. Knowledge is 100% the cure to conspiracies.

Worse, I think hiding information will just build on the paranoia. Especially with something like data privacy, since we all here work with data. It will turn into "you hid this from me, so you're part of the conspiracy." In that case, it removes all chances that you have. Yes, discussing the nuances of the "conspiracy" can cause people to go a little further off the deepend, but it can also form a bridge between you and that person (as opposed to isolation, which is what most conspiracy theorists do. Put themselves in a bubble). That bridge can be used to lead them out, because they now trust you and you have expertise. It's not easy, but it's something I've personally done.
You're all correct.
