It's an attractive ideology for, well, society's humiliated losers, essentially.

It typically calls itself anything else other than fascism when it reemerges but it shares all the same features.

In the US e.g. use of the term "cuckservative" would probably signal that you align yourself with most of the tenets of a fascistic ideology even if you dont explicitly call yourself a fascist.

If anything it's become a lot more popular over the last 15-20 years than ever before. No tiki torch marches in the 90s.
Privacy concerns aside, I'm having trouble understanding the value prop. It's more to build and maintain, requires more bandwidth and storage, and the resulting dataset is mostly noise or not significantly different from what was submitted.

That's a myth. Ford increased wages only to stop the high levels of staff turnover, which was affecting productivity and quality.
> a government involved might lead to a fairer outcome

Fairer for the supporters of a government that is. Even in a modern democracy a government is really just supported by a small majority ruling over a large minority. That does not mean that democracy has failed but it heavily implies the government power needs to be limited to a minimum in order for a free society to thrive. _That's why_ the lesson learned and applied by "neoliberalism" has always been meddling with economic forces is a sure road to serfdom (to quote the young F.A. Hayek which Thatcher's politics was always inspired by). It's never been about suppressing the poor. To the contrary. (Even Hayek argued in favor of small social security net.)
They are just as mutually exclusive as saving money and staying alive: You can't save 100% of your money as you need to spend some on shelter and food among other things.

The obvious notion here being that there has to - and CAN be - a balance of the two.
>I think I should have politely terminated the interview myself

Yes, do this. Walk. The behavior is unacceptable and tells a terrible story about the company culture.

Perhaps if the remaining interviewers apologized immediately, you could reconsider, but probably not.
> Last December, Lincoln was hit by a cyberattack, which "thwarted admissions activities and hindered access to all institutional data, creating an unclear picture of fall 2022 enrollment. All systems required for recruitment, retention and fundraising efforts were inoperable," the college said in a statement posted on its homepage. "Fortunately, no personal identifying information was exposed."

I wonder how that's possible. How can all those systems have been affected yet they can say for certain no PII was exposed?
Btw it's worse that this.

Most popular website are tracking your mouse movements and clicks on their website. It's called a user heatmap and it's meant to be used to see what users are actually clicking on when they drop into your website i.e. everyone highlighted this word on you copy or stopped scrolling after this section that sort of thing.

It's been happening for many years. If you don't want to give websites this data block javascript in your browser by default.
Doesn't the political compass usually use the label "authoritarian" and "libertarian" for both the left and right? There's nothing about being libertarian that is inherently right-wing (in particular if you generalise the logic of "big government bad" to "any large powerful organisation including governments, corporations, and individuals bad" then you end up with a very much left-wing position).
Thank you! This is the clearest explanation I’ve read and it definitely shook something loose in my brain.
Honestly if they end up dropping the price for PES/Konami, it might be worth it just to take over the franchise. No doubt they’ll try.
>If the investments are less risky, there should be more capital, not less.

That's not the right metric. An investment balances risk and reward. If the reward of the less risky business is too low, then there will be less capital. If I guarantee your money back, and also zero growth (I'll just hold the money then return it), no one would invest - not enough reward.

Next, you have to outperform other risk/reward outcomes, such as bond or stocks or real estate, etc. Otherwise investors should (and likely will) put their money elsewhere.

For some market to get significant investment, it has to do well on the risk/reward frontier compared to alternatives.

Those reasons are why there is not massive VC type funds investing in companies like these. It's not that VCs are stupid, or investors are stupid. It's that the risk/reward for such companies has to compete against all other options for that capital.
Sure there is. JavaFX ships a WebView component (literally called that) which runs on every platform including embedded. It's WebKit-based. You don't like WebKit but at every point in the web's history there were some browsers with more features or fewer bugs than others. If you're writing web apps then you're meant to run on more than one rendering engine.

At any rate there's also JCEF, again for JVM apps.

>> Getting things done at Google can be hard. Projects need multi-team cooperation to succeed, so you have to do a lot of work up front to get everybody pulling together.

Western union starts at 10% for transactions below $100, but it can be as low as a $8 flat fee for a thousand bucks if you pay cash in store.

Bitcoin isn't cheaper than this, because not only there's blockchain fees, but also exchange's, and I'm pretty sure many people use a local broker for managing their bitcoins (at least it's how it works in Lebanon, from what I've read).
Competition is like eating. It’s an important part of everything that life touches. Whether or not it’s healthy is entirely contextual. A study which puts competition into the category “bad” is starting off with a highly questionable assumption. Same for individualism. I’m not a fan of hierarchy, and tend to see it as more bad than good, but even hierarchy isn’t one or the other. It’s contextual.
A free market necessarily requires government involvement.

A free market is industry-specific. For it to work, a company in one industry may not influence the market in a different industry, or that market won’t be free anymore.

To prevent this, government involvement is required to ensure fair start conditions for all companies within of the free market

In a developed service-based economy, relative purchasing power isn't that important in the short term. You might eventually notice the indirect impact of imports being more expensive, but I doubt that matters too much to the average person.

You also have to account for the fact that house prices are rising - so even if you're losing purchasing power, you're still making nominal gains on your assets.

Bukele showed up in the latter stages of a bull market and thought he was a genius that had discovered a money making machine. Just like Saylor and Elon. It happens every cycle. They will all be tested. No one gets through the door easily. The genius was ignoring recency bias and buying BTC at the bottom at 3k in 2018 and selling your coins to Elon last year.

The amount Bukele bought is tiny. Bitcoin and crypto are a threat to the IMF system. They aren’t going to like it when you do that. To survive without the IMF, you would have to go all in at a generational bottom. That did not happen.
I don't think what you're describing here is individualism though.

On the other hand, going a little further with that phrase: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." - while it's a benign ideal, looking at applications of that philosophy in practice you often seen it being applied in an inconsistent manner, whereby someone's "right" to say someone infringes on the autonomy of others (essentially a case of competing rights). It's only in cases like that where individualism comes into play.

I was similarly close to a lightning streak, on the other side of an outside wall of our house. I remember that there was a boom, and I didn't realize it at first, but I lost my hearing. I remember running to the hallway and screaming to my sister at the other end of the hall, "Shut off the power!" I read her lips, "I don't know where it is" or something, and ended up running past her to throw off the main breakers.

I actually don't know if that was necessary or not, because I'm pretty sure all the relevant breakers had already been thrown.

Anyhow, point is that I remember hearing a boom and then nothing. I wonder if I was closer, or not protected by the wall, if noise would have been so loud that I lost my hearing immediately, instead of hearing the boom first?

My hearing came back over the next 5-10 minutes, IIRC.
Very hard for me not to have this opinion now after working in a few different companies where half my coworkers seem to not be doing much more than jerking off all day and at best accomplishing a days worth of work in a week. How could anyone who has had this experience NOT want greater variation in pay that’s at least somewhat correlated to effort/performance?

This stands out more to me in an office environment but the dynamic existed even when I worked at McDonald’s. Nobody wants to have to carry dead weight.

The only exception I might take to what you're saying is that one of the main reasons for crypto is resistance to central authority, so the emergence of a situation where something like this can happen should be edifying.

It's not the first time this has happened; people seem to forget about Mt Gox.

These exchanges need to be part of the crypto schema. Crypto theory is so focused on the chain and not the infrastructure that builds up around it.

Anyway, I completely agree with what you're saying but it has special meaning when you're talking about something that's supposed to transcend the need for regulatory structures like FDIC.

The assumption that "competition [...] is an important part of everything that life touches" seems at least as questionable.
Especially because why would they? What do they gain from seeing first drafts of form submissions?

The closest thing I can think of is as an "abandoned cart" for forms.

"You were about to submit our contact form to ask about our software. Are you still interested in a demo? (we're evil, by the way)"
You don't have to go that far back. You're assuming something that's not true.
In the early days, Instagram silently uploaded your photo before you actually officially posted as a way to improve the "speed" of the user experience. So go ahead and add your filters, the text for the post, etc. because then the moment you clicked Post the app presented like it happened immediately. All for the UX.

As if 'competition, individualism, and hierarchy' is bad. Well, somebody has to work hard, compete and provide to those who want to enjoy well-being and solidarity.
In the meantime, the left wants to use this as a selling point to abuse the power and be the one in control without paying the hard price of working hard and taking risk.

I do wonder why he's allowed to say on Twitter there is no risk of bankruptcy [0]. While the risk could be minimal and maybe negligible saying "no risk" means zero chance. That can't be true of any company. For a public company ceo to say that, isn't that securities fraud?

I guess even if it is fraud and they do get prosecuted by the SEC they'd just get fined for it. And maybe the fine here would be much less than the price of a run on coinbase.

> now they can first focus on the logic without having to struggle with the English naming conventions of a regular programming language as well

Instead making it the problem of non-Spanish speakers to have to struggle with the Spanish naming conventions. There are something like three times as many English (~1.5bil) speakers as Spanish speakers (~559mil) in the world. There's no good reason to make it easier for the smaller group and harder for the bigger one.
Interviewing is a skill you need to exercise and such interviews are where you are challenged to stay positive and continue the interview for further experience. Even when an interview has gone absolutely terrible and there's literally nothing they could do to convince you to work there. You work doubly hard to convince them to want to hire you. Ask them what they need you to do for them, explain how you can do it. Ask about their mission, what the business is ultimately trying to achieve. etc.

>I've had an interviewer laugh in my face when I told them my favorite language was Scheme.

Snirk, I mean, I have started to grow grey hairs. What do you think is the best solution for grey hairs?

>Then they just walked in the middle of the interview without saying a word when it wasn't going well, leaving the other interviewers to continue without them.

You may have not noticed they got told to gtfo.

>In retrospect, I think I should have politely terminated the interview myself, as I don't want to work with rude, unprofessional snobs, but I'm wondering what people here would have done, and how you've faced rudeness during interviews yourself?

Nah, waste their time. Work doubly hard to convince them to hire you. Then if they do offer you the job, you can be polite again and explain that the business sounds awesome with X mission. Lather on how awesome they all are and then say unfortunately you decline have to decline. You felt the interview didn't go well and plan to work extra hard to do better next time.
Is it fair when somebody has rich parents and just inherits so much money they never have to work?

Is it fair when a disabled person starves because they cannot earn money?

I think that there are ways to improve fairness beyond a total free market.

Though I agree that if you push it too hard, you remove incentives that are good.

It's a tough problem and I don't think the optimum is in the extremes.
Why do you think ruthless end up on top? I do not see that follows.
This is an incarnation of big costs of the crypto/blockchain obsession:

Some individuals put all their savings (or more) into crypto. Those early enough might have fared well, some of them extremely well. But it is not a miraculous value creating machine, but only a redistribution machine. For everyone that has done well, others have lost.

The other cost is the massive amount of time and effort so many people sink into this that could have been spent on more productive things.

Show HN: TFstate.dev: Free Terraform State Storage Service Using a GitHub Token
Greetings! I've developed a new service called TFstate.dev!

TFstate.dev is a free-to-use hosted HTTP Backend for Terraform State Storage that is accessible using a GitHub Token.

The backend API is Open Source for transparency and confidence that your state files are securely hosted: https://github.com/tfstate/github-sls-rest-api

There's no signup or registration, and with a GitHub token, you can immediately start using this as a Terraform Backend. State is secured and encrypted in Amazon S3 using KMS. State Locking is also natively supported.

Using it is as simple as generating a GitHub token, setting a few lines of config in Terraform, then enjoying the benefits of Shared and Secure state storage without first signing up for TF Cloud or creating S3 buckets, DDB tables and juggling Access Credentials just to get the same feature set.

I'd love to get everyone's feedback, and if you're currently using a different Terraform State backend, feel free to migrate to this service to store your state.

Let me know what you think!

Some of the "stablecoins" are implemented on top of another blockchain, in such a way that it's possible to do crypto-to-stable transactions automatically fully within the blockchain system. That's attractive to the kind of people who want to build ever more complex financial machines.

It also provides a system that can pretend it's not subject to money laundering law.

It'll be for abandoned signups.

If someone is literally on the signup page but end up not clicking the submit button you want to find out what stopped them and coerce them somehow to actually clicking the button.

The more data you gather about the process the more you can adapt the signup page to actually get them to click the button. It's really important for startups as one of their KPI's will be new signups per X. Companies like slack, facebook, youtube ..etc have teams of people who are working on this type of thing.

Note: I do not condone this type of invasive analytics but I'm telling you why they do it that's all.
“Allowed” isn’t language that GP is using; you’re introducing that.

EA should inherently be concerned with making the top of their altruism dollar funnel as wide as possible, to channel the most good most effectively.

If the potential non-AI-safety money being left on the table is a greater amount than the money raised for AI-safety causes, is that most effective? For whom?

In a world where that potential money enters the funnel, and AI-safety has and grows a separate funnel of its own, how is that not better?

`int*` and `char8_t*` aliasing is UB under strict aliasing.

You can call it "an aliasing issue, which is pretty well defined". As far as the compiler is concerned it's no different than every other UB it uses for constraints inference.

Based on what? Theoretical models are full of assumptions that doesn't hold in practice. Empirical evidence is limited too since free markets don't even exist in the real world. If anything, evidence show that they fail for a wide range of applications where there are inefficient and not fair.

Free markets also required a government. They need to be regulated and can't work in a vacuum.
