How many buildings are empty right now? Selling your large corporate building isn't going to go well. Nobody wants it because their workers dont want to be in the office anymore.

But then again maintenance, utilities, toilet paper, sickness, taxes, etc are all burning a hole in their pocket. So better to force people back to the office?

Worse yet, any big corp that announces back to work has an army of recruiters cold calling all their employees offering them exactly what they want. More money and work from home.

It's an impossible situation for businesses.

Flipside, what's more important to look at is only what you can control. You wont change your employer's mind on whatever bad decision they make.There are only bad decisions to make.

You can control yourself. Do you even want to go in for 2 days a week? Personally I'm not interested in paying for parking, 1 ply toilet paper and pointless chitchat about moon knight or some other tv show i havent had the chance to watch.

You can instead make the decision for what you can control. There's an awful lot of employers who will accept completely remote workers.
In fact, the previous version of Tabler used feather icons but then they decided to roll their own for whatever reason.
Plus the cost of commuting itself, be it a monthly transit pass or the cost of a vehicle, maintenance, wear and tear, fuel, insurance, parking etc.

So it's a massive cost to workers. Paying to work.

To any CNN+ software engineers: you made a great product and should be proud of your work. The failure is not your fault. The failure is 100% because CNN is run by some of the dumbest people in the world.
Are you saying that these things are somehow not happening in Mariupol? We already know that Mariupol has been a subject of population abductions at the very least.
> You shouldn't have to die.

Yes, you should. Either that, or no one can have children. It's finite planet, and it's already over-flowing with people and their detritus.

Not only that, but if people don't die, then the first generation that doesn't die will end up ruling forever over everyone who has the misfortune of being born later. In a world where no one dies, someone like Vladimir Putin or Kim Jong Un can and will rule quite literally forever. The U.S. Supreme Court will have no turnover.
We have a bit more color on compatibility in general up on <https://github.com/janestreet/magic-trace/wiki/How-could-mag...> for those interested.
Yes, it looks like tactics are pretty much aligned with what was going on during WWI and WWII.

On the other other hand, I think the West has not really been involved in this type of warfare since WWII/Korea, so we don't really have a point of comparison with Western tactics.
Intel could just do a map of the location of each code name within the outline of whichever state it is from.
I’m sure there plenty of war crimes from both sides. War brutalises all participants.

There’s a video on Reddit of Ukrainian soldiers shooting Russian POWs in legs, with AKs.

The soldiers were from a local guard, and the POWs from an artillery unit that had been bombarding their small city.

I think it’s on /r/combatfootage, or /r/UkraineWarVideoReport, if you want to look it up.

It is mentioned in the documentation but for anyone quickly skimming and expecting a SaaS pricing model underneath (I think many do now), that isn't obvious. From my initial scroll through this wasn't obvious and it was significantly less attractive. Looks very interesting!
The absolute worst offenders are political campaigns, PACs, parties, and candidates. I believe because they're exempted from robocall and spam legislation so feel they have carte blanche. I've donated to local candidates from several different parties, and subsequently my addresses ended up in lists with national organizations and their associated PACs. I get what I would call "extremist" content endorsed and sent by both major parties in the US (DNC and RNC) about their opposition, often on the same day about the same issue, although begging for money.

The worst part though is they also SPIM me, I predominantly get text message spam from these campaigns. The Democratic party is the worst here. I volunteered to man the phones one year for a candidate during the primaries, and now they are CONSTANTLY texting me to try to get money or otherwise support candidates on the national stage, most of whom I despise. The Republicans send me postal mail and email, but no text messages or IMs.
> Why would Russia/DNR voluntarily level a city they want to incorporate into their breakaway republic?

DNR, isn't the main or controlling actor doing it, and “incorporate into a breakaway republic” isn’t Russia’s primary, much less sole, goal with their operation.

> Russia invading is already a war crime

Technically, no, it's a crime against peace, a separate category of breach of international law.
There is a popular definition of "nihilism" which is "the belief that life has no meaning" but for Nietzsche, and most existentialists that followed, there was a much more insidious nihilism that this comment embodies.

For Nietzsche and thinkers like Simone de Beauvoir it is a fact that "life has no meaning and we all die", the real question is "what do you do with this?". For both of these thinkers real nihilism is "pretending this isn't happening".

Nietzsche is often partially quoted saying "God is dead" as though it's some sort of atheistic battle cry, but it's not that at all. The full quote is:

> God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers?

Nietzsche is pointing out that the old way we used to deal with existential despair was religion. This is how meaning was created. But like it or not that system of meaning is largely gone and cannot be trivially replaced. Nietzsche's entire life's work is about confronting this existential horror and coming up with new ways to live.

de Beauvoir, in The Ethics of Ambiguity, goes on to catalog all the strategies we have for dealing with this problem. Pointing out that nihilism ultimately leads to the rise of Nazism. Likewise far right extremism in the US can be viewed as a natural reaction to the failure of systems of meaning across the US.

The point being is that when you see articles like this, your response doesn't have to be and should not be merely to dismiss it until you feel better.

For a great overview of this perspective of nihilism I highly recommend Nolan Gertz's Nihilism from the MIT Press
For me at least, articles like this make it much easier to have that flash of sonder when thinking about the millions of people moving in and out of life as you move your frame of reference around in time. It can be truly disorienting.
It's astounding to me how so few companies provide free food, or even free beverages. It's an insanely high ROI.

The cost for catered lunch and breakfast and a stocked pantry is maybe $30 per day per person. The all-in cost for a typical high-skilled knowledge worker is at least $200k/year. If it gets employees spending 20 more minutes a day at their desk it's already paid for itself.

That's basically the time it takes to leave the office for nearby takeout lunch or coffee shop. Let alone employees are more likely to come in earlier, because they can skip breakfast at home. And less likely to duck out earlier because they're hungry. And this is even before we get into the huge impact it has on employee morale and recruiting.
There are a surprising number of conspiracy theorists out there, but also lots of people desensitized or overwhelmed in the Information Age.

The rubble and ruins of war across the Middle East, state brutality of all scales from China to the U.S., unprecedented destruction by weather events... all delivered to your screen in near real-time then 24/7 pundit-ized until the next event... non stop for over a decade.

If you grew up in this cesspool of information, you tune out. If you yearn for the ignorance of yesteryear, conspiracies are easier to digest than critically analyzing the deluge of info... and that doesn't take into account all of the people who are just out there mostly concerned everyday with food and shelter for themselves and family.

To your point... As I started to write this, a nearby group of senior citizens meeting for morning coffee (in East Bay, CA) started fawning over this "refrigerator magnet set that helps you construct your own conspiracy".

Great analysis, thanks. A question is: Do the younger audience rely on streaming platforms/news channels to get their news? Anecdotally, everyone I know in the young age group relies on social-media or web-based portals for their news.
Thank you!! There's a lot that's still clunky about it but hopefully I can make it so that it continues to earn a spot on your phone.
There was a Darknet Diaries episode recently[0] that focused on a guy who frequently did phone scams, and he said Verizon was the most expensive to hack because you had to basically pay a bribe to get into their systems.

Have tried that. The address in the smtp headers only has the raw address (no dots), and yet boost still claims no such account exists.

Obviously, inquiries to boost mobile support haven’t been helpful either. It’s a mystery.
CNN+ really didn’t have any marquee talent. MSMBC has Maddow and people would pay to watch her, Fox has Tucker, people would (and do) pay to watch him on Fox Nation. But people aren’t going to get out their wallets for Don Lemon. That isn’t snark, his TV ratings support that assertion. If CNN wasn’t force fed to people at airports, I’m not sure if they would have any viewers at all, at least not in any profitable numbers. Jeff Zucker ruined CNN. It used to be a trusted centrist organization but instead they are stuck in a limbo zone of not being as good at being left wing as MSNBC despite trying and being left wing enough that they don’t really catch the center very well. MSNBC wins the left, Fox gets the right. CNN is just like an MSNBC also-ran. CNN has some really good hard news and foreign policy journalists, but they are overshadowed by a lackluster commentators that alienate people that don’t really want another Fox or MSNBC. The Cuomo nonsense from both the host and the governor turned a lot of people off as well. Their double down as the Anti-Trump network busted them when they didn’t have Trump around to drive ratings. Now they are just a shell.

The ratings of regular CNN are pretty terrible as it is. The idea that people would pay for more CNN is just not supported by the data. They spent $300 million and accomplished very little. A foolish leader would keep that project alive. How many more hundreds of millions would it take to get it to a critical mass of users to make it not only profitable, but profitable enough to earn back that massive investment?

Anyone that has been to business school would see that CNN+ was a Zucker vanity project that was badly executed. It will likely be an MBA case study right up there with New Coke.
Clojure and ClojureScript don't have the comprehensive support for livecoding that Common Lisp and Smalltalk do.

As an example, consider what happens if Common Lisp's UPDATE-INSTANCE-FOR-REDEFINED-CLASS, mentioned in my comment above, is called without a method definition for the redefined class in question. Lisp drops you into a breakloop by calling BREAK.

BREAK is another feature of Common Lisp defined by the language standard (http://clhs.lisp.se/Body/f_break.htm#break). It puts you in a repl that has the full language and runtime available, but also exists inside the dynamic environment of the control path where BREAK was called.

In this example, that means that we can see the lexical environment of the call to UPDATE-INSTANCE-FOR-REDEFINED-CLASS, along with everything that was on the stack when it was called. We can see the instance that needs to be redefined and all the definitions that are currently in effect. Using the features provided by the breakloop, we can interactively define the missing method on UPDATE-INSTANCE-FOR-REDEFINED-CLASS to properly reinitialize the instance in question, then activate a RESTART (another standard feature of the language) that resumes execution of the function, but now in a dynamic environment that includes the new method and any other changes we made in the breakloop.

The original control path that landed us in the breakloop can now complete successfully, referencing a properly reinitialized instance. The method on UPDATE-INSTANCE-FOR-REDEFINED-CLASS is defined now, so future references to previously-defined instances of the redefined class will be transparently reinitialized and behave as if they always had the new definition.

Clojure and ClojureScript don't have the runtime support to do any of this. If you redefine a class that has existing instances, and if those instances aren't dropped on the floor when your new definition is hot reloaded, then the old instances don't reflect the new class definition, and so code that relies on it is wrong. When a wrong access occurs, you are dropped--not into an interactive breakloop--but into a noninteractive printed stack trace.

The debugging features of modern browsers give you some parts of what a Lisp (or Smalltalk) system does--for example, some tools can watch the dynamic state of variables and enable you to edit them. There are tools available for ClojureScript that give you access to some of these features.

Even in the Clojurescript ecosystem, however, the full suite of livecoding tools offered by Common Lisp and Smalltalk (and mandated by the Common Lisp standard) is not available.

The Democratic party is the worst here. [...] The Republicans send me postal mail and email, but no text messages or IMs.

YMMV, I get it far more from Republicans than Democrats. However it may be due in part to a GOP donor with a name similar to mine that lives in a state I haven't stepped foot in for over a decade.
I think its much less dinosaurs, and much more people who have a very large, vested interest in office real estate. Everything from people that own the building, and want to show that its worth the money they spent, to business magazines that get heavy advertising dollars from companies that own and lease large office buildings in major metro centers.

On iOS I’ve been using and appreciating the clarity of what I first saw (most likely on this forum) as an iOS equivalent of K9 (I used that by preference on android) anyway - the app is tricky to type - p=p. But that =I actually 3 - - sorry I don’t know how to display that. Anyway, for iOS I love it as my K9 equivalent, I’m guessing they have an android app too??

Sorry, that's pretty funny. It seems like everyone outside of CNN could see that CNN+ was doomed to fail, but the Kool Aid was flowing freely inside.

If the article were really as useless as you say, I suspect it would not bother you as much as it seems to. Might be worth it to ruminate on a little longer.
Interesting. Twitter probably has no inflow of USDC, right? So it will have to buy it for dollars. Which will create demand for USDC.

And Polygon is probably a second layer solution based on Ethereum, so indirectly, this will create demand for ETH?
This is a good point to reflect on the value of life. Not just human, either. The world definitely abounds in examples of life not being respected or valued. Just this morning we’re seeing satellite photos of mass graves outside Mariupol, Ukraine, for instance. Todays also earth day.

So yes, life’s end aka death is certain. I think that’s reason enough for life to be valued, cherished, and protected more than it is. And all those things which deteriorate life’s habitat should be mitigated and sought to be reversed. The cold unfeeling universe doesn’t have to win sooner than later.
IMO there's a huge untapped market: Millennials and younger who have never in their lives paid for cable TV.

Fox news IIRC airs their shows live on Youtube, but MSNBC (eg, maddow) doesn't, so I wind up having to find some pirated stream on a janky ad-spammed site to watch the news live. Or, w/Maddow wait for her podcast to drop around midnight.

Being television I'm sure it's some contractual thing with the tv networks as to why there aren't more free/cheap/easy news streaming options. It'd be nice if there were, I think that'd get younger people much more engaged in politics. Also the fact that it's so easy to get OAN/Fox and difficult to get the other side...

I had first kids in my 20s. Now 59 and in another marriage and my younger kids are almost 6 and almost 2. I live them to bits and every day I look at what I do and think how will they remember me if I die tonight. Morbid maybe but helps with choices. More emails or cuddling the 2yo and reading a book. Learning something esoteric about operating systems or doing the day’s wordle with 6yo.

Momento Mori the Stoics way to remember we all die so make best use of time. The Hagakure tells us to always depart from others as we wish to be remembered.

FTR I run a lot now knowing that it improves quality of life and stats show time running is returned in more time alive. I value those extra hours with those whom I love.

I don’t care if I have to work until the day I die to support my kids but I do care that I have as many seconds with them that I can manage. And leave them knowing their dad ‘lived for them’.
And now I have a new wallpaper. Thanks!
I don't think death is a thing that can be "solved" ( as in, it's not a problem per se and "solving" it will only cause a lot of problems). There's only a finite amount of resources on the planet after all, so we can't have everybody live for as long as they want while also making children.
Where's the "A" in that? Are you making an argument for a universal creator?
Warren Buffett is probably working hard to buy more time. Sad reality, we just don’t know the outcome after death. If we knew the outcome, it will be okay to accept it.

Even after too much psychedelics. It still doesn’t help anyone accept the deep void of not knowing.

You might be able to do better than £19.10 each way, depending on what time you're travelling. An unlimited all-day travelcard from Ebbsfleet to London[0], including tube/bus/train in zones 1-6 is only £24.40 off-peak (no arrival before 10am Mon-Fri). It's £45.00 peak, though.

I'd say avoiding death is about as likely as overtaking the speed of light. It seems like science fiction to me. No matter how much progress we make, we might be trying to do something that's literally impossible.

That doesn't mean we can't research it, and certainly we can discover things that are useful. But there's really no reason to believe immortality is achievable. And honestly there are lots of works of fiction on why it's actually bad for humanity.
Today might be D-Day for the Digital Services Act
I disagree. If anything, most of us NEED reminding that our time is limited and precious, and that our circumstances can change in an instant.

The practical value of me after reading this (YMMV) is that I'll be a bit more present, do more meaningful things, heck even just appreciate that hug or phone call a bit more, today and probably tomorrow too.

Do you have kids? I find thinking about this stuff particularly valuable in a way I probably couldn't grasp before them. Spending 30 minutes playing blocks with a 2-year-old can be a mundane, frustrating experience. Or -- if you realize that this 30 minutes is probably one of the last dozens or so times you will EVER play blocks with this little wonder child, in all of time -- you relish it, like you would relish seeing a great movie for the first time, or (better comparison) your first kiss with someone. It's rare and precious.
> If it gets employees spending 20 more minutes a day at their desk it's already paid for itself.

Does more time at the desk, for a $200k employee, result in more revenue for a company? I'm not sure the answer is yes.

Personally, as someone who is their own boss, if I don't leave my desk and go outside, my productivity suffers a lot. I make worse choices and waste more time.

I said most not all died. Makes no sense why Russian propaganda did not said something like "a few soldiers died from the smoke" at least that would give them a bit more flexibility on the lies they can spin when families post on social media their goodbyes or they anger for their mysterious disaperence.
