I think the problem with the whole argument being made in this article is exhibited in your pull quote as well: working class people don't know or care what that "highly educated and affluent person" thinks about anything. It is not then clear to me how that person's stance on this - which I don't share - could possibly be the cause of the problems of people who don't care what that person thinks.
In that case, the soap is the least of your problems.
It’s quite possible I missed the relevant evidence as I skimmed through a lot of it. There was certainly a relevant supporting anecdote, but I assume you’re referring to more than that? I won’t bother responding to the part that is essentially “support through repetition”.

I prefer duplex slide rules (they have scales on both sides), as these give a wider range of calculations you can perform. Two of the models I personally like are the Post 1460 VersaLog, and the K&E 4081-3 Log-Log-Duplex-Decitrig (that one is fun to say). Specifically the older models that are made on mahogany coated with celluloid. Also there are various Pickett slide rules that are painted aluminum, these work really well too (I like the Pickett N-600 as a pocket slide rule).

I also have a Faber-Castell 2/83n, I believe this model is Cliff Stoll's favorite one, however I find it a bit too busy for my aging eyes. It is really pretty to look at though.

Too bad there isn't a big enough market for someone to make high quality replicas of classic slide rules, with modern machining techniques. I'd really like to see some laser etched metal rules.
Yep, and we clever HN people know that. But the web isn't all clever hackers. There are lots of small businesses with WordPress websites who just want to see a graph on a page. They will keep adding cookie banner plugins so long as they can keep seeing that graph.

> A real leftist ideological group doesn't exist in the US

Yes, it does.

Because of the electoral system’s strong pressure to duopoly, there isn’t a substantial real leftist party in the US, but there is a real leftist ideological group.

> progressives are not that for certain

US progressives overlap with, but are not the same as, the left.

> To the right, however, a leftist is a US progressive.

To the American Right, a leftist is a Democrat, including a center -right neoliberal corporate capitalist democrat.

> Telling people that it doesn't matter if they divorce and that they should put their own short-term happiness first and foremost

That's a straw man, though. Nobody relevant is telling people that. You're either not listening to the primary sources and are getting a distorted representation by politically motivated secondary sources, or your own biases are clouding your understanding when you're reading the primary sources.

His very weak evidence for this was one affluent person who didn’t want to admit publicly that she prioritizes stability for her children over self gratification - a value which goes against the grain of her inner circle.

He spins that as a class war conspiracy.

We know very different electricians ;). But seriously, I wonder how much of the 'conservatives are uneducated!' trope that gets thrown around in conversations like this is due to conservatives in high school placing a higher value on providing for a family, doing the math, and consequently getting into the trades rather than university.

Not that confusing, really. I've spent decades unable to find a sexual partner. I'd also make a concerted effort not to fall into the conclusions and habits of thought found in those getting bullied as 'incels', and in fact hooked up on Reddit of all places and am in the home of my lady friend now, working with her on various stuff and steadily building lovemaking skills (we're on the older side and there's a lot going on so opportunity isn't always there).

I would lovingly and determinedly bully those who are so weak that they can't face the reality of bad conditions and their own inadequacies, those who show an emotional need to behave like they (just as they are) merit a sexual partner, and this not happening means women are evil scheming monsters who conspire to ruin the world and must be stopped and/or reduced to Gorean slavery for their own good as they're not really people. I'd bully those incels all day long. They are harming themselves by their own stubbornly held rationalizations and need to cut it out.

Properly having a sexual relationship means having a relationship, very likely with an opposite-sex partner if we're talking hetero incels, and it's not easy. I'm with a woman who is observably smarter than me and I'm a techie nerd. There are things we have in common, but there are also ways that we just don't operate the same. There's strengths I have that she doesn't (not physical, either), there's strengths she has (and sometimes expects out of me) that I don't, and won't. The male/female thing is compelling and interesting, but it's impossible to reduce to 'we are actually the same' 'cos we ain't :)

When you get anybody concluding 'therefore the enemy sex, being incomprehensible, is simply evil and must be destroyed rather than reasoned with', you gotta bully those people or they will ruin it for us all. They are being intellectually lazy and wrong, and causing damage and making it harder for everyone, and we can't afford that kind of wrong.

>That means that, in normal times, hotels go through ~3.3m bars of soap every day.

...

>Every year, it has been estimated that the hospitality industry generates ~440B pounds of solid waste — much of it soap and bottled amenities.

Innumeracy.

Based on these numbers, and assuming a bar of hotel soap is 2 ounces, that means that bars of soap are 3.3 * 365 / 1000 (millions in a billion) / 8 / 440 or about 0.03 percent of the solid waste generated by hotels. "Much of it" indeed.
How a chord sounds depends greatly on the timbre of the instrument or instruments. For example, a major or minor triad played on a heavily distorted electric guitar sounds pretty uncomfortable (hence power chords), but played on strings sounds pretty calm.

How a chord sounds also depends greatly on what came before it. For example, in typical common practice period harmony, dominant seventh chords do not sound resolved. On the other hand, many songs in popular music have moments that resolve to a dominant seventh chord.
Now I really have to wonder, do you get social recognition from your livestock? Of course you don't. So why even make that argument? Dignity and social respect can be a positive sum game; in fact, this is effectively the key insight behind the notion of social capital. In a well-functioning society, more social respect for women can fully coexist with dignity for men and vice versa.
As a programmer studying music, I found the "music theory for nerds" article [1] very helpful to get started, and then kept noticing how many general music learning materials for beginners skip the fundamentals/justification, suggesting to just remember many non-arbitrary things that can be deduced, without explaining why they are that way. As the article itself mentions, the hard part is to figure which parts are arbitrary and which ones are not quite so arbitrary, but pretty sure an engineer can get an easy start by studying those bits first.

Playing an instrument is nice and fun too, of course, but I think it's more helpful for intuition rather than actual understanding -- and those are usually best to combine.

As a person who works with XMPP, I can say with some degree of authority that MUCs are, indeed, an abomination. Everything about them is broken: the roles and affiliations model, and the concept of connecting to it in the IRC-channel style which is a non-starter on mobile clients which can't be connected all the time.

So we actually dropped support for MUCs and created our own Group chat protocol, which even provides a fallback compatibility with the very basic XMPP. Extensibility for the win!

Soap is artificially cheap too, because it's a byproduct of meat production. If I wanted to think ecologically about soap, I'd think about its source.

I use hotel soap, but would have utterly no problem bringing a tiny amount of body wash with me. I already use liquid body wash at home because I live in a region with hard water, and soap turns into soap scum.
I did not mean to suggest that the CA/southwest agriculture setup is sustainable (though it might be if it made some notable changes). I just meant that we likely can't replace what is grown there by growing things in more northerly latitudes, even if there is more water there. Maybe we shouldn't replace it, that's certainly up for debate. But we almost certainly cannot do a 1:1 switch, Great Lakes, greenhouses or otherwise.
At the last hotel I stayed at, peeing on them would be somewhat difficult, though not impossible, especially if you have a penis. Peeing in them would be very difficult indeed as you simply cannot open the top easily.

One solution for body soap is basically a handsoap dispenser with body soap in it - you simply aren't peeing in the bag and there aren't many places to pee into.

On top of it all, someone had to show ID to get access to the hotel room, and you are can very well get charged for such things.
Only scratching the surface here, but there are 2 aspects of worst: there is physical comfort and mental/emotional comfort. Both are important, but in many ways mental/emotional comfort is more important.

Some things in life WILL happen, such as the death of a loved one. Such things are very difficult to bear, but some people adjust easier than others. There are things that MAY happen to you, such as you experiencing divorce, loss of job, failing health, house burns down, etc.

There are things that may happen to a region, most notably very severe weather such as hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, volcanoes, etc. Additionally, there are human-caused things such as riots, spikes in crime, terror attacks, etc. There are things that can happen to you personally too.

My thinking is that you have to assess your own situation and think about the calamities most likely to affect you. Then think about what you can and can't do to mitigate the risks and discomfort associated with them.

One of the things that can be very beneficial is to go tent camping a couple of times a year. This is especially enlightening for those that have never done it. You will quickly learn how to make yourself less uncomfortable in the absence of electricity and comforts of home. Hopefully, you pick up a little self confidence to handle the situation.

Educate yourself on practical steps, skills, and techniques that you might apply to situations most likely to impact you (and your area). Practice them occasionally.

Some people may panic with loss of electricity for an extended period of time. It can be helpful to remind yourself that humanity existed for thousands of years without any electricity. However, if you're completely dependent on it and have no confidence to adapt, that reminder may not be helpful in the moment.

There's an incredible book about personal survival and the will to survive. It's "Unbroken" by Laura Hillenbrand and it tells the true story about a WWII B-24 bomber crew that went down in the Pacific and how one crewman (the focus of the book) survives being in the water for an incredibly long duration (something like 43 days) and is captured by the Japanese and then his survival as a POW. It's kind of a long book, but it's immensely powerful.

Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, faith can be a huge asset to you in troubled times. However, don't wait for the troubled times to start before you start cultivating your faith. An established and well-practiced faith can really help to pull through some of the most difficult situations.
> implements major features quickly, cranks out design documents, fixes a ton of bugs, helps to organize the work of their teammates, brings people together from different teams to make technical decisions

This is almost superhuman. Basically combines everything from a entry level all the way to staff engineer. tons of , quickly, cranks out, helps, brings together. Sounds like a parody.

Yea if this is what is required to get a promotion with 2% increase in pay, no surprise most ppl aren't motivated to step up. And managers are bewildered and frustrated why people take 2 weeks to implement a feature when they should be "cranking out" code.

> And those people are bewildered and frustrated that they're not getting promoted.

They shouldn't be if these superhuman requirements are clearly understood by everyone. Example of previous promotions where people achieved this and concrete examples of what you mean by "fixes tons of bugs". Not something secret in your head. What does "ton" mean to you as a manager. You should have no problem saying, You didn't get promotion because you didn't fix "tons of bugs" , end of discussion. Expecting people to read your mind and wondering why are 'bewildered' is total failure of management.

>people by and large do mediocre work, and fail to ever increase the scope or quality of the work they deliver.

Your explanation for why people arent performing to your expectations seems to be that they are lazy or stupid or both. I really pray i don't work for someone like this.

This stood out to me as well. In principle, the three strikes rule is good theoretically. In practice, it is harder than most management gurus realize. The issue is that most managers know less than the people they direct. So when an employee says this isn't technically feasible or that they don't have the knowledge or skills to implement said request. The manager doesn't have any rational basis to believe or not believe their employee. It's all based on past creditability.

I would argue most employees want to do a good job. The problem is similar to the "Peter Principle." In many cases, clueless managers demand their employees to sculpt the next Pieta or paint the next Mona Lisa with sticks and crayons and no prior training. When the employees push back against hard estimates, the clueless managers double down and say they are insubordinate. I am including Product Owners and Scrum Masters in clueless managers category. In many cases, they took on these titles but have not changed their behavior according to the Agile Manifesto. They see themselves as the order givers and the developers as the order takers.

The only people problem here is the management idea that managers/product owners/scrum masters don't need to know anything about the technology they are implementing.
I've actually used that a few times. I've never seen a mainframe (in person), nor do I think I ever will without a career change, but I did need to make some changes to a build system in an open source project that had wide architecture support. I was using qemu to check that all of the binaries for the various supported architectures actually ran in some capacity.
> A nation with a history of illegal invasion of its peaceful neighbors, including mine.

Historical facts prove you otherwise. Historically, Russia has been far more often on the receiving end of illegal invasions (I have not even attempted to count the number of innumerable skirmishes) from "peaceful" neighbours – a major invasion every 47.2 years on average between 1237 and 1945, which is something I have pointed out before with a list of reference points to each major invasion.
I hate real chess. Real chess is all about playing for the draw.

Blitz and bullet chess are much more fun because precise play is impractical and conservative strategies don't work as well. You can drag a wild, tactical game out of the most timid opponent.

LibriVox is great.

As you mentioned, the quality varies, but some are real gems. My personal favorites are the Jeeves stories narrated by Mark Nelson:

Also, the whole LibriVox collection is uploaded to the Internet Archive (easy to find: it’s one of the top links under the audio tab). IA’s interface is nicer in certain ways than librivox.org due to its options for searching, sorting (e.g., by views), and listening in the browser. https://archive.org/details/librivoxaudio

You’re missing the whole environmental concern. All this soap gets discarded into a landfill. Not all of the thousands of different hotel bar soap brands are biodegradable. Certainly not the ones with plastic packaging.

How is "there's no downtime in cooking" better than "Cooking onions is not downtime?" Both are assertions without backing evidence. For instance, it's possible for "Cooking onions is not downtime?" to be true (e.g. cooking onions requires active work) while "there's no downtime in cooking" is not true (e.g. cooking chicken broth involves downtime).
Hi there, first of all thank you for sharing your perspective!

In your post and a different real life convo with a French friend of mine I am surprised to learn that he is similarly frustrated with the political process as you seem to be. He mentioned deGaulle set up the presidential election process the way it is today post WWII to weaken the impact of radical politicians like le Pen for obvious reasons. It seems the approach is more and more backfiring, though. Do you feel like it's all French "esprit" of trying to buckle against the obvious or is there any discussion around the design of the elections as well?

Other than that, I have to say, I totally chuckled on your remark that you think of France as a small country dependent on Germany's benevolence.
As a German neighbour and friend, let me tell you that I think of France by no means as a small country. Your country's cultural achievements in cuisine, in literature, poetry, music are absolutely legendary, world class.

France ignited the process towards democracy both at home and abroad. You upheld humanitarian values long before the rest of Europe and especially Germany did.
You are the only continental European country which is a nuclear power.

Yes Germany has a larger - and incredibly export dependent - economy. If all runs smooth globally the party is on, if it doesn't like now the entire engine becomes quite fragile. And we're entering an era where much of the focus will turn more inwards I believe towards domestic or inter-European supply chains and production.

I guess I don't want to paint a rainbow against what you are saying, but just share as a German that our country just like any other has its own set of issues stemming from what seems desirable at first glance. And I am truly happy and sleep better at night knowing that France with it's sound humanitarian values, military power and richt culture is an ally and friend in Europe.
