How could you possibly have concluded we're in agreement? This was his initial post in this thread:

I fundamentally disagree with this and made it quite clear in the following posts. This disagreement is basically the whole premise on which this exchange was had.
I eat one or two. One each of the last two days for instance.

Breakfast went out 20 years ago. Just way too many calories.
I got hired from that loop. Same guy challenged my failure to write ifdef include guards on my header file on the whiteboard. My answer of “oh, you’re right; I’ve configured emacs to automatically insert those, so I don’t have to think about it” seemed to more than satisfy him and we ended up being close as colleagues for several years.

> diversity of thought

Thank you. I've never had a phrase to adequately describe how I like to balance teams and "diversity of thought" fits well.
> I’d like to do meaningful work.

Commercial CS is about stealing somebody's attention to make advertisements being watched and all kinds of dark patterns. Personally I have never seen a programmer (except of some pure scientists) which would not be an asshole just doing everything he's being told, for money, no matter how harmful.
A nice example of what you can do with LaTeX.
Say what one might about Meta's company & business policies - but their engineering talent is pretty top-notch. (Note: I am not a FAANG person). Having their office in your backyard genuinely lifts the quality bar in the place.

Their openstack hardware standard was a quite a good step. Datacenter hardware & designs will get standardized eventually by such ventures. React and graphQL are very innovative software designs. The FAIR team regularly publishes excellent ML papers (IMPO they are second place after Google Brain, and slightly ahead of MSR in ML research). They pay well and retain quite a good pool of talent. If you're interested please have a look at the Facebook OpenSource channel. That's a pretty good source of learning cutting edge stuff working on scale - and unlike G-Brain, its genuinely open 99% of the time.

Again, I dont like their business product(s). But the team that works on them is pretty marvelous
I wonder if there are similar problems with airbnb.

I've read from people complaining that their airbnb was cancelled.

The problem with new age entrepreneurship and startups is that their interests intersects with either libertarian or conservative politics.

We want to think the silicon valley holds progressive values, but it's not entirely true.
I decided a while ago that I'm going to live my life as if this were true despite not having scientific evidence to support it. When people retire they're in danger of rapid decline if they stop living a rich and active life, exactly as you said. You need physical, mental, and social stimulation. My grandmother is in her 90s and doing really well considering her age, and I can see that she walks, read books, and meets friends all the time. I pursue physical and mental stimulation constantly; running, yoga, lifting weights, practice music, learn new languages, programming, reading books, etc. (I admit I have a bad habit of neglecting social needs.) If I am lucky enough to "retire young" from software I plan on pursuing a new career in some passion field. I've chosen to believe that slowing down is my choice and right now I plan to choose not to.

I know all of this is anecdotal, you can go ahead and preface every sentence I wrote with "I think/In my opinion..." but in this case n really does equal 1, I only have 1 life to live. Even if there is absolutely no correlation between my observations and reality, with this strategy I'm only at risk of a life well lived.
We have splinters of super intelligent AI now. This manifests as high speed computations tens of thousands of times faster than humans. Humans have content addressable memory. Think of a military parade of 10,000 men - you want corporal Smith. You say:- Corporal Smith - sound off. He says here Sir. A search has to inspect each person, and interrogate them or read their tag.
Humans have cross associative memory, where other cues are used - Corporal Smith is 8 feet tall = there he is!
We are getting to know how the minds works, how it recalls, cross associates, and understands. I find it is reasonable to extend growth in that area to a future AGI with all aspects of it's 'mind' have all the aspects of a human mind, but with a 'clock speed' of 10-100 Gigahertz. Will this be faster - assuredly, will it be smarter - not so easy to predict, fast as hell, dumb as a rabbit??. The specter of an AGI with and IQ of 20 billion is unassessable. Will it become an appliance or a King - what if we have 500 of them - will they associate or will they seek war? They might not care about us at all, and be content with their own affairs - setting a few oracular subroutines to answer our questions. The pace at which this tech is advancing support what Flankk suggests - it does indeed loom!!
We absolutely should, until they clear their house from top to bottom. Have trials run against anyone participating in these atrocities with jury being peers of the victims(that is those murdered). Treat anyone who has anyway participated or given money to the political parties or anyone who supported these actions as concentration camp guards from National Socialist Germany.
> To answer this one must ask "What is financialisation?" The short answer is; a system in which the success or failure of a company is of no relevance to its "value".

Nonsense. Granted, with meme stocks, the price of a stock has been decoupled from any underlying notion of value, which is disconcerting (but driven by retail investors/gamblers, not by traditional investors).

But with Uber and many others, it seems reasonable to assume that the investors expect to recoup their money by (ultimately) earning dividends from Uber's successful operation, which is good old traditional finance.

There are two problems left:

1. It is conceivable that some early investors see that no sustainable profits might be possible, but still fund and develop the venture in order to sell it (at a higher valuation) to less sophisticated investors later (that don't see the limitations of the business model so clearly).

2. It is plausible that the entire business model is predicated on the idea of a predatory monopoly, ie driving out competition first and raising prices second.

Those are massive problems that need to be addressed with aggressive regulation, but they are not a consequence of "financialisation".

> Under that system, Uber is successful so long as the financial market says it is.

"The financial market" cannot just arbitrarily "say" what a company is worth (and definitely not in the long run) - there are just too many players.

Apple seems to lack the connectivity options competing chips offer, as seen with the limit on external screens on some M1 models and these USB options. It's easy to underestimate the amount of work that external connectors need the chip to do in order to work optimally.

It makes sense, of course, as the M1 evolved from a mobile chip with at most one port (USB C if you're lucky) and not a lot of host traffic. I hope Apple fixes these issues soon, or at least acknowledges them. More likely than not Apple will just ignore the problem and tell their customers to buy Thunderbolt devices instead.
correlation is not causation, and you've merely observed a correlation there. its way more likely that the people with declining mental acuity just couldn't learn anymore, making it a self fulfilling prophecy.
> “you should have told me someone else asked you this question”

At what point do we end up saying "my current employer 'asked' me this question, because it's part of my day to day job..."? At some point you have some experience in certain areas that you just 'know', and it's not some sneaky "oh I crammed leetcode for 3 weeks!" tactic.
> walked away unharmed and just lighter in cash. The only thing that changed from that is it was the absolute last time I've carried cash.

I would have a much different takeaway - you got to walk away because you had some cash.
I've personally known a number of SAS employees and even more secondhand. My general impression was that it was dysfunctional.

One guy I know works 6 days a week, Monday-Saturday. He goes in on work around 2pm Sunday to get caught up. This isn't the 'crunch' schedule. It's just his regular work schedule.
Ok, so I am the author of the article and I wanted to put it as "V" but wasn't differentiating for example in search and "Vlang" just didn't feel good.
Maybe reality is worth changing for an important idea with far-reaching consequences.
And I also have no sympathy for those who vote for or fund the people who allow or make these actions continue. They have as much blood on their hand and deserve the worst. Pure evil like that should not be allowed to exist free in this world.
For a masterclass in how not to write, take a look at this BBC article which is narrativised to the point of being downright insulting. [0] It's quite an effort to even figure out what they're talking about. (The article's dishonest clickbait title is just icing.)

Same in Croatia. In Croatia this is due to Ubers being also regular cabs.
I think there's varying degrees depending on what your goal is. Besides VMs you could have a different user login for each compartment which means things like browser profiles, shell history and other things will get their own settings.

I record a lot of videos and wrote a little script[0] to help backup and restore my shell history to avoid auto-complete and CTRL + r searches from showing sensitive info (client work, etc.) while recording. I only use one browser for recording which has its own history too.

For my use case that's enough separation, for others it might not be. For example I still need to be careful about running commands like `docker image ls` on video because it has potential to show client work. I just remember to black out sensitive info during editing if it happens to come up.

I can say that about a very large number of substances with no mental stimulation effect — There’s a reason pharmacology is a degree all by itself, but that’s still not “$category is taboo”.
I don't disagree with many of the points argued in this article (and the subsequent two articles).

An interesting piece of anecdotal evidence, I recently had a conversation with a Yellow Cab (or similar) driver in NYC who switched back to a cab from Uber. He pays, if I recall correctly, $900 per week to the taxi company and after that is able to keep all wages and tips. His $900 is owed regardless of the amount of fares he receives. Despite this, he still felt this was a better deal than Uber after doing both. So it doesn't appear that the cab cartel is some sort of myth, as the author seems to imply.
People have owned people for generations, people discriminated against people based on how much melanin their skin had for generations, people have went to war with each other because they believed their person living in the sky was more correct for generations.

Doing things for a long time is never justification for thinking about them uncritically.
As i predicted, your use of glasses in all circumstances has usurped the concept of reading glasses. Since you are using modern bi/trifocals you probably will just keep using those rather than have dedicated reading glasses that you switch to for close-in reading.
Are you sure it's a USB problem and not something else? Did you reduce all possible variables - ie how scientific were you in determining USB was the problem and not something else?

I think the USB naming is the result of not using marketers.

> like telling you that your ride will be booked soon when there are literally no drivers available

I got burned on this using Lyft to get the airport early in the morning. Scheduled the night before to pick up at 5am the next morning. No one was actually scheduled, and it was just searching endlessly for a driver in the area but there were none! No car services open, I had to call my mother and ask her to take us! I couldn't believe it and I'll never use one again. Only car services for me now, at least for anything that matters.
That's surely nice, but ultimately inconsequential

What matters in the end is whether Uber can sell the service for more than it costs to provide it. Traditional taxi could do it, Uber cannot
Good, but...

I think there's little doubt that those who consume excessive alcohol regularly over long periods are self medicating. I'm almost certain this was so with my aforementioned friend and colleague who died from the effects of alcohol.

Decades earlier he'd been hooked on benzodiazepines and could never seem to get enough of them. He was always concerned about being caught short without them and that his supply might run out before he could get a renewal of his prescription (supply became a problem in the '70s/'80's when doctors became aware that they were addictive and that too many people were abusing them). As he was an organic chemist by training, I used to joke with him that he should concoct up a supply in his kitchen.

For him, benzodiazepines where highly effective (at least so over the short term). I've seen him in a jittering state of nervous anxiety and being totally unable to function yet an hour or so after swallowing a couple of 5mg Valium tablets he'd be as normal and calm as everyone else around him. Of course, by then, it was impossible for me to determine how much of his anxiety etc. was part of his condition and how much was attributable to benzodiazepine withdrawal.

You are lucky that your friend was saved from multiple organ failure just in time with proper care, but that wasn't to be with him. Two or three years ago it would have still been so technically, but in the end his medicos, psychiatrist and his friends were unable to help—as essentially he refused to help himself.

Obviously, good medical care often helps but it seems to me we've still a long way to go before we've alcoholism licked for good.

I think an additional problem with kids in developing countries is that hiring them (for shoe shining, lawn mowing, ...) gives them an incentive to drop out of school. They might make some extra money in the short term, but lose an education and higher earning potential long term. It's not trivial, certainly for an outsider, to judge what the right course of action is.
There never was a guarantee that a USB A or micro B port supported USB 2.0 either. There are still tons of keyboards and peripherals out there that run on USB 1.1 in your standard USB 2.0 ports.

The moment they added backwards compatibility, the USB confusion started. That's not a bad thing, the real problems are manufacturers being vague about what they do and do not support and the USB people renaming everything every other year.
This is how journalists are taught to write. In a "pyramidal" style where the key facts come first, followed by elaboration, followed by more elaborate elaboration.
Well, these computers and email and messaging apps and web browsers -- they use the same ones for years, without really ever "getting it".

It's not as if they're saving time, when they need to knock on my apartment door, and ask what's happened with their computer (the browser window was 1cm to the right of the edge of the screen so some buttons seemed to be"gone").

it's instead that ... When using the apps, they don't automatically effortlessly learn how these apps work. Whist kids do

They weren't necessary sent to work camps. Some were just fired and couldn't get hired. Later, in 1950's & 60's, you would be effectively banned from career. Sometimes librarians would paint black their name if they were in references section. Since 1960's victims of these political battles could go to other institutions, probably at less important position.

This practice continued all the way till the collapse of the USSR, I heard of such stories in Moscow universities, and in the Academy of Science.

Just because it works on an Intel Mac does not mean the cable isn’t the issue! Happy to demonstrate in a live video along with oscilloscope readings to prove it is in fact the cable to blame.
> as seen with the limit on external screens on some M1 models (…) I hope Apple fixes these issues soon

It’s only the base M1 used in the low-end devices that has limited support for external screens. A MBPro with M1 Max can drive 3x6k (DP1.4) plus 1x4k(HDMI2.0). That seems like more than enough for a laptop. Sounds to me like these issues have already been fixed.

What killed my investments was the advice to "diversify your investments" (or as I think of it, "spread your bets"). Look at charts for ADA, SUSHI and ALGO over the past 1.5y and imagine getting in at the wrong point in all of them. Plenty of opportunity for losing most of your investment. On average I've done poorly. If I had only invested in BTC and ETH I would have done great, but that would have been against all good advice.

I think it would be fine IF the higher numbers were universal supersets of previous versions of USB. 'i don't care what this version is it's the highest" seems fair. At least the "universal" aspect applies over time.

It's the apples of the world who seem to be on divergent fork with superior and inferior types of functionality that really disrespect the "universal" moniker... While also ambiguating exactly which USB spec they are even implementing.
Being a celebrity does provide much more benefits than a person actually being homeless.

However your comment above said he lived comfortably off the income of his own celebrity. We would have to twist the word income here for a bit to cover this kind of situation.

The description just didn't fit the situation that well, which is why I wrote the above comment.

Maybe Uber could be forced to display Total Cost of Ownership numbers for the car (per mile driven), and contrast with the revenue the drivers obtain. Make it fancy and throw in average and marginal cost. The data should be readily available for most cars, from sites such as Edmunds etc.

Hey Guys,
So I am the author of the article and it is about time I address the comments here. I just want to say that I just got to know about it, I used it and it felt good. I tested a lot of the features but ofc couldn't get them all. I know nothing of any controversies surrounding the language. Also, I am just starting out in writing so I might've not included some details or it might've looked like a "sales talk" but in all honesty I had written a section in the draft versions but forgot to include it. I am planning to write another post to address the issues of the language and my writing about it.

Thanks for reading and commenting. I appreciate it and hope to use these comments to improve myself as both a researcher and a writer. Thanks again!
