If the “humanist” standard is Roe v. Wade, as stated above, then most of asia doesn’t meet the standard. Abortion in Asia tends to be viewed more though a population control lens than an individualist “humanist” lens as is the case in the west. The main exception is probably India, which was heavily influenced by British colonization, and the former Soviet bloc or Soviet aligned countries.

My dad spent the first part of his career in public health family planning (I.e. making sure there weren’t too many Bangladeshis) including working for a Planned Parenthood affiliate in Bangladesh. But that’s distinctly something to control the population of “those people” and not anything we would ever talk about among “our people.”

But for example abortion is still technically illegal in Japan, even if it’s available in practice (reflecting the quintessential Japanese willingness to live with a little inconsistency to avoid having to compromise principle and pragmatism).

I'll start: after every ST episode saving the world and all parallel universes from annihilation, I'm glad the franchise returns to an episodic delivery. The topics (peace vs war, responsible use of technology) are current, but rendition is light which is a welcome contrast to recent STs. The cast is well-picked and suits characters. On my wish-list of season 2 is an increased CGI budget.

Go back to the early 2000s and admire all the work people put out for free on the net because they enjoyed doing it. This was thriving, but then people with dollar signs for eyes took over and now we're stuck with them.
That is not what hypocrisy means.

Hypocrisy has nothing to do with changing your mind over time. It had to do with taking actions which are consistent with your stated position, and holding yourself up to the same moral and ethical standards to which you hold others.

Agree, it’s a common trick to subtly insert some false dichotomy where the real possibility space is continuous.
The mainline autos have been praying for a tech jump to close the gap with Tesla.

Since BMW canned their CEO over EV strategy five years ago, all execs at mainline auto have been on notice and been actively pressured as to EV strategy by major investors.

A go-to strategy was to declare plans, but all the economic scaling of those vehicles seemed to come down to 1) solid state becoming viable and 2) OEM battery building supply.

Toyota has blown the solid state deadline a half dozen times already, even when they were pushing Hydrogen (another canary in the coal mine piece of bullshit from a clueless CEO).

So yes, I agree that solid state investment has just been "investor relations" and "CEO job maintenance" tasks, and nothing that really carries water.

I do think the Tesla battery advantage is in trouble now that the Chinese are ramping key LFP/Sodium Ion production with practical densities that will truly power the mainstream EV that will be far under the drivetrain cost of ICE.
> underpaid and overpaid?

there's two "meaning" to being underpaid; 1) the work being done is captured by another party, and thus underpaid to the worker doing the work. An extreme example is slavery - they are underpaid.

2) the second meaning of underpaid is the perception from other people that the profession is producing value for society, but the payer of that work (usually tax payers) is not compensating for the value dispersed throughout society. Examples might be teachers.
lol, you think that they’re not measuring conversions on these paywalls? I can’t tell if you’re acting in bad faith or just naïve, but yes, trust me, Wired is in fact trying to sell to me (and also more directly sometimes, since I don’t know if I have unsubscribed from their emails.) The free marketing from having people share your articles and from showing up in search results is part of their funnel. You are mistaken sorely.
> they have like $6 billion in cash and equivalents against less than $5 billion of debts and other obligations...if they shut it all down, there would be funds left over

Every company that ever went bankrupt had more assets than obligations before they went bankrupt.

Coinbase's quick ratio [1] adjusted for custodial assets, as of 31 March 2022, was 6.6 [2][a]. That's good. Don't adjust for custodial funds, and it's 0.15. Virtually bankrupt. With $6.2bn cash on the balance sheet and $830mm cash burned by operations in Q1, they have over 2 years of runway assuming Q1's terribleness continues. That's good. But were they to suffer a hack, that margin of safety could rapidly collapse. And in that case, customers could be left behind secured lenders. (Where USDC holders would wind up is a mystery.)

That sounds suspicious to me.

In UK at least client money should be segregated especially in the context of custody assets. Really shouldn't enter the same pool of assets as Coinbase's office chairs in case of liquidation

That thread actually seemed like a reasonable response to balance out the "gloom and doom" from the media. Also, not sure why you think "8 twitter posts" are a such big deal -- tweets are limited in size, and twitter has a broad audience, and these types of tweet threads are very common.

I'm happy for the money to be taken from me to help take care of people that, for whatever reason, find themselves in an awful situation against their will.
That's an idealistic, maybe even naive point of view. There are plenty of CEOs who generally make bad decisions and take increasingly more money while their companies lose money, their best workers, their most innovative projects and so on. Hierarchical power structures are always prone to corruption and value extraction from the bottom to the top.

In fact the above is so prevalent that I'm specifically admiring leaders who are exceptions, actually take responsibility and care more about their workers, clients and the many other people they impact as opposed to their individual gains via compensation and social currency at the top (board, shareholders etc.)

Also CEOs generally work hard regardless of the quality of their work. But they generally have a ton of responsibilities and people to talk to. In terms of time invested per day, it is not uncommon for them to do several hours more work than say an engineer.

(It's not the same _kind_ of hard though, I personally find social activities, reading and communication much less exhausting than technical work, but it's also less fun.)

> Let me just put it coldly here: career can be re-established, friend can be re-found, losing family is a painful struggle but it's not impossible to start from scratch. But physical health, once you lose it, you'll likely lose everything else too. The same thing is also true for mental health.

You may want to consider rating mental health higher than physical health. They are correlated, but if in doubt and/or if you need to choose, mental health is the one.

And that's where the social/family component comes in. And the work component. Both contribute to mental health. Just as physical health does. But if work and family/friends "buckets" suck, then no matter how tip-top shape you get physically, mental health will suffer.

Therefore, it makes sense to not place the physical health bucket over the other two. All has to contribute to mental health.

What does his presidential status of a nation or his support in an election unrelated to Twitter have to do with him breaching their terms of service?

I find it interesting, because it kind of implies that you would want him to get special treatment because of his status/position in this manner. But on Twitter he is nothing more than an account like everyone else. They control the platform that they created and own. Which they were able to do due to the free market policies established in the US.

The real problem in my opinion is using Twitter as a source of information. There is an arbitrary character limit, threads which allow Tweets to be taken out of context and the ability to ban anyone from reading ones Tweets.
Any sane person would realize that such a platform is perfect for propaganda and that it should not be used as a communication channel (by a government official).

SIPC is just the framework. The primary thing is that customer assets are held in custodian accounts and not intermingled with the brokerage assets themselves. This is different than a bank which can lose your money if it does go bankrupt - it's just that FDIC steps in and makes whole the customers that qualify for the insurance (and pays out to other customers above the limits first before other creditors).

The Central Bank would need to sell that debt on the open market to quell inflation so it is still relevant. If the debt is high enough that it constrains the central banks ability to manage inflation without causing default either high inflation or massive private debt default are inevitable in the long run.

The only “out” is a miraculous increase in future productivity or an increasing percentage of working age adults that increase GDP to make it sustainable. Of course in the long run we are all dead.
Miners have a pretty high chance death while on the job - according to https://www.bls.gov/iif/oshwc/osh/os/osar0012.htm, the US death rate in 2007 (because that's the first figure I found) was 24.8 per 100,000 full-time equivalent workers, compared to 4.3 in all private industry. Sounds like a much higher "chance of failure" than most other jobs.

Sort of. Most individuals' shares are held in "street name,"[1][2].

You have a claim against the broker for those shares, but that could be impaired if the broker went under. Losses are rare because American brokers are highly regulated. Coinbase has fought vigorously against being similarly regulated [3].

As far as I recall, early Linux didn't have initrd either; it's a novelty which came later.

I believe /opt is a novelty which appeared on either FSSTD or its successor FHS; I think /usr/local is older (perhaps even older than Linux), being the default --prefix for autoconf.

Right, I compared cash to liabilities, not assets.
The fundamental problem is wealth having a high correlation or even causation with power.

At any point in time, very little keeps a neutral or even benevolent elite from turning malevolent. At that point, you're stuck with the populace willing to shed sweat, tears and blood to fight back.

We also tend to select on relative fitness, and both wealth and power contribute pretty strongly towards fitness. You can educate people to look past this, but it's pretty difficult to get individuals to look past their basic instincts even after training them to do so their entire childhood. You can change society to minimize the negative effects, but society can lose knowledge and trend the other way over time.

I can only add my anecdotal experience. When the Linux servers are running proprietary code that has a high support cost it would often make sense to have a paid Linux distro as well to avoid finger pointing games. For example, even if I knew what the problem was I could put Redhat and Oracle on the phone together and let them hash it out. They would have to find the root cause and that would be provided to our customers regardless of what they find. I know it sounds weak but that was a good way to shield our business from paying out downtime credits when a vendor had a serious bug and tried to blame us. We had clauses to protect ourselves when we were not negligent. I know this will be an unpopular answer but I know that many large businesses follow this logic when writing their contracts.
So he's an asshole. So what? What useful purpose in there in demanding he grovel sufficiently and seem sincere? The only point to asking for a "better" apology is to enjoy watching him squirm, the gratification in the fall of someone we dislike, the capitulation of an enemy. What actually mattered was a lawsuit and a project being published. Both of those things were real and impactful, and both were resolved completely. Focusing any more on the apology is Twitterverse schoolyard bullshit nonsense.

There will always be assholes in life, and they're not going to stop being assholes. But they do sometimes control billion dollar companies, and we sometimes need to work with those billion dollar companies. Getting a real impactful change in the world is much more important than the satisfaction of the fall of an ego.

Utopian thinking has always, and will always, lead to disaster. There will never be a 'perfect' world for humanity, we have enough historic evidence to show how foolhardy it is to try.

On the other hand, optimizing for a better balance than we have currently is possible. We had much lower levels of income disparity in the middle of the 20th century and we could certainly aim to restore those levels.

However, that would be difficult in our globalized economy of the past 40 years. This is the part of neo-liberalism that is causing the most problems for the non-elite. Globalization is leveling the field for the non-elite of the world, American wages are stagnant or dropping by real value, while wages are rising in east and southeast Asia(for example). The global elites are winning no matter what. The only way to change this is to restrict globalization and international corporations, just changing US laws to tax the rich more or break up us companies won't change much as global elite will give up their citizenship and international companies will detach from their us divisions. You will need a global effort at this point to affect any change to the system, and even then you will have serious problems. And that is only for minor changes to the system. The fact that we have interconnected most of the world in the way that we have means that any disruptions to the system are global and everyone suffers.
