Hyperthanks for this… overview. This summary of possibilities. I’ll discuss them with my psychiatrist.

> Missing part

Yeah, the missing part is the dark mundanities of living. I’ve been late in dating (started at 23), I have weak negociating stance (I don’t like supermanly men who step upon others, so I don’t do it), so, many people profit from it and step onto me, especially girls unfortunately, so I became misogynistic. But you know what they say at kindergarten, if you didn’t kiss at girl at 8 that means you are gay, and my psychiatrists keep fixating on the gay part, and I don’t mind being gay (but I’m not sure I am, really) I’ve had the gay life and dated men and did my coming out, but that’s not the problem, the problem is being misogynistic. Living at a period where women have priority for everything “for fairness” doesn’t help - which it isn’t, if you work more you should be the one promoted - So I took my revenge, slammed the door at every company that only promoted women, founded my own and became millionaire in ~7 years - I’m not ungifted, it’s just people who are assholes with me, because I leave room for others and they take it as an opportunity to step upon me. So now I’m the cliché of a white misogynistic male CEO 39 years old with a big house and a big car who eats meat, and it’s sad both for me and for my opponents, because the loop has reproduced itself, and I, like my opponents, wish it hadn’t. I’d have been perfectly happy with a 2BR flat with a loving girl with whom I’d share the housework equally, but every time I dated, the girl played games, and the world helped her win.

But psychologists fixate on me being gay, that’s the only explanation they have for me being misogynistic. It’s tiring, and I’m clearly not getting the mental health response I need. For mental health, one needs to live in an intelligible world. I’ve tried living the gay life recommended by the various psychiatrists, and it didn’t solve my misogyny (obviously). My problem is I’d like to live an equal life with women, and society keeps giving women priority for everything, the discrepancy between society’s wording and society’s actions is unreconciliable for me, and the degree we have to battle to obtain the normal things is exhausting. I’ve tried to move from programmer to a more talkative job because I knew I’d get bitter if i didn’t, and companies kept promoting women only, and moving to a talkative job is something my mental health required. But they kept promoting the women. That’s unfair to me. I didn’t get the basic things I needed in life, and really, being a CEO is an unhealthy revenge.

(On the plus side, I’ve increased all my employees 30% this year, I’ve donated a dozen thousands along the years, I was the one accompanying the friend who got cancer in the group, I’ve helped in many charities in my life until I discovered that people would never help the white male back, I’ve done my share in this world).
Do you worry about the opportunity cost of that time?
For example, men live on average 5 years less than women. How should we fix this? Massive government expenditure into men's health research and men's occupational safety?
It seems to be fairly rare for there to be a way to complain. They often make you log in to file a support ticket, but you can't log in anymore.

I suspect most of these companies have no real idea what their false positive rate is.
This looks cool, but almost exactly like https://plausible.io/, even (albeit vaguely) right down to the UI...
> But we should strive for fairly statistically equivalent outcomes, and we aren’t close, even along gender lines.

Why do you think this? Why do you think that genders have equal preferences, for example? What about different age groups? The age distribution of various groups is quite different and so that alone will result in different outcomes without any unfair limitations being involved.

What do you propose to do about gender differences in mining, logging, car mechanics, etc.? Are you going to force women to enter those occupations? Why do you think the gender imbalance is evidence of unfairness that needs to be remedied? How much power would you have to give to government in order to achieve "fairly statistically equivalent outcomes" in these cases?

This focus on group "equality" can seemingly only come at the expense of limiting individuals. IMHO we should focus on maximizing individual liberty and not focus on statistical outcomes for groups.
>>After all, we know disruption and innovation rarely comes from big incumbents. Tax the shit out of them and turn that into funding and options for the rest.

Making it less likely that companies become very large, profitable and valuable discourages investment in companies of all sizes, by reducing returns on small cap and venture capital investing.

As for direct effectd, "taxing the shit out of" the rich, as you suggest, would impact far more than large incumbents. It would reduce the incentive for the rich to invest in general, by reducing the size of the reward for becoming very wealthy, encourage capital flight and expatriation of the highly ambitious and capable, and reduce the after-tax income of the best investors, and with it, the volume of new investment.
Lol actually I wonder wether chronic lack of affection result in specific mental disorders and deficits akd how to maximally resorb them (e.g Oxytocin?)
But that's a no for parkinson.
Great example of Twitter's product issues. You can tell the DM groups feature was someone's side project in the early years that has been left in maintenance mode. No team wants to prioritize it because a) no one has ownership over the product and b) the shitty experience leads to shitty metrics that make it hard to justify fixing it.
Fascinating. Quoting individual words like "terminal" or "shout" also works as a nudge for both Google and Yandex, but not for Bing.

And since our written observations modify the behavior, an update: quoting the whole sentence now returns a single result - this page.
That's incredible. Somebody actually found a genuinely enjoyable use of a monopoly board.
One of the core practices of insight meditation (Vipassana) is to be mindful of your inner thoughts, like through "noting", and observe them through the lenses of the 3 characteristics. You use one-pointedness concentration (Samadhi) to tune into these thoughts. You can also do Samadhi without Vipassana, as many yogis have, but you cannot do Vipassana without a baseline concentration ability.
Some people use mindfulness meditation and Vipassana interchangeably, but it is not entirely accurate, yeah. Mindfulness is only one exercise of the broader insight meditation (Vipassana).

When writing my thesis I met with a group of strangers online who were also studying or other computer-based activities. We had a pomodoro bell go every 25 minutes or so, when we'd chat for a few minutes during the break. Just having people around, really made a huge difference and helped me get through months of hard work. I've seen some startups come up with this idea - seems a bit sad to make a business out of people keeping each other company but I suppose some prefer to have that curated for them.
As interest rates rise, startups and VCs are playing a new game
That wasn't just men fighting for titles, it was quite literally men fighting for their turf. The modern equivalent would be an all-out war among drug cartels. Later on, with the onset of the early modern era powerful monarchies managed to check the violence and gradually turned noble titles into more of a social reward for public services rendered. This is the context that those who view "kings and aristocracies" positively might have in mind.
The heaviest man in Mexico was bedridden for years. He was depressed, but besides being humongous, and trapped in a bed; one of his biggest complains was muscle aches.

A doctor gave him vitamin D supplements and he said the pain went away.

It made a bit of sence to me, but the amount of food this guy consumed daily was staggering. I just wouldn't think a person would be deficient in D with the amount of animal products this man consumed. I just assumed even though he never saw the light of day for 15 years.

My point is it just suprised me.

Antidotially, I have been depressed (dysthymia--low level) for a good 30 years, and found sunlight didn't help me. I don't eat a lot, but i'm not a vegetarian either.

I actually feel better during the winter. I do have allergies though.

According to my doctor, all he ever said about depression is "All my patients are different. Oh, my fee will be $----. Your depression is situational.". I know he is partially right. (He doesn't overcharge me compared to the horror stories I have heard here. I just believe most psychotropic drugs should not require more one office visit, especially if you are on a low dose, and not abusing them.)

Sorry to burst your bubble but money is very unevenly distributed and it is usually distributed away from where it is needed the most because the economic system is set up to subsidize the owning class. Because the rich are powerful interest groups they get to vote money into their pockets redistributing money away from the general population who then demands money into its pockets via welfare to cancel out the unfairness.

You could argue that the rich are bribing the government to get more money and then the government must bribe the rest of the population so they look away from an obviously morally questionable political system.
That's a great question. I don't know the exact answer, but as one possibility here is a PCI (I know, probably not right bus) PC card that supports 16 serial ports: https://www.startech.com/en-us/cards-adapters/pex16s550lp

So if you had 6 of those, you could support 96 users. You could get expansion units too for the main bus:
https://www.reddit.com/r/retrobattlestations/comments/dpt47y...
"It takes up one ISA slot in the main PC, and then hauls the signal to the external box, where you can plug in up to 7 more cards, plus some RAM"

Which mentions:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Personal_Computer_XT#Expan...

So, using 6 slots in the first box, and 6 slots in the next, and 16 port serial cards, that's in theory 192 users on RS-232 lines. Anyway, this is just a guess. I vaguely remember hearing of some actual (lesser) systems with lots of RS-232 ports, but don't recall exactly how they worked.

One thing about Forth is that it could cooperatively multitask essentially (almost) by just switching a dictionary pointer to one for each current user (along with a small terminal buffer of say 80 characters).
https://groups.google.com/g/comp.lang.forth/c/Rh3stETjMls
https://forth-standard.org/proposals/multi-tasking-proposal

So, that's 12K to support 150 input buffers, plus probably at least 1K for each user dictionary on top of the shared dictionary (12K + 150K = 172K total). That is probably low -- if users might want 4K each that's 600K. Throw in 28K for an extensive base system to round things off and that is 640K for a great low-latency system supporting 150 users all simultaneously having a command line, assembler, compiler, linker, and editor. And I'd guess probably a database too on a shared 10MB hard disk. And it might even feel more responsive than many modern single-user systems (granted, expectations were lower back then for what you could actually do with a computer). So, yes, "640K of memory should be enough for 150 anyones." :-)

"Comparing the input latency of a modern PC with a system that’s 30-40 years old seems ridiculous on the face of it. Even if the computer on your desk or lap isn’t particularly new or very fast, it’s still clocked a thousand or more times faster than the cutting-edge technology of the 1980s, with multiple CPU cores, specialized decoder blocks, and support for video resolutions and detail levels on par with what science fiction of the era had dreamed up. In short, you’d think the comparison would be a one-sided blowout. In many cases, it is, but not with the winners you’d expect. ... The system with the lowest input latency — the amount of time between when you hit a key and that keystroke appears on the computer — is the Apple IIe, at 30ms ... This boils down to a single word: Complexity. For the purposes of this comparison, it doesn’t matter if you use macOS, Linux, or Windows. ..."

I think different people have different contexts on this. If you are an American in big tech earning the highest wage, then outsourcing could look like spending 75% and still getting top talent. But for everyone else around the world, outsourcing can only mean getting the bottom talent because they were already mid tier wages.

I’m in Australia and our company has mostly local with some outsourced devs in Indonesia and while they try hard, they universally just aren’t very experienced. And as soon as they become experienced they leave because they can now make the same wage as the Australian devs.

> [...] based on your comments you show a lack of understanding of what socializing at work feels like for a lot of people.

So you agree that socialising at work is more difficult for some people than others...

And you agree that it's one of the reasons you work from home...

And the part of my premise that you were disagreeing with was that I said some people work from home because they struggle to create relationships while at work...

But you have stated is true for you when working in an office environment...

So... It sounds like you at least partially agree? Or is there something I am missing?
> Equality is prevented by the misperception that it harms advantaged groups

But what the article calls "equality" is discriminating against men, whites, asians and other groups. It's pretty obvious this discrimination harms those groups.
I agree and disagree: certainly I think the idea of a "workplace" where you go for 8 hours to give your time away to your employer is something from a industrial revolution workhouse (although such jobs do necessarily still exist - security guard, factory line worker, but not in software).

On the other hand, I think for many jobs, office dynamics have more than zero value. The ability to meet and collaborate spontaneously (which I think can to a large extent be recreated remotely), but also the fact that some part of many roles is actually some kind of "support" - whether helping peers learn something or secretarial or office help, a lot of it does get lost in remote work.

Overall, I think remote work can be great, but I've personally seen many who see it as an excuse to drop the useful interpersonal interactions and just do "their work", often in less time than would have been budgeted in person. If that's how some employees work best, ok, but I think the workload has to be revisited to account for what time people have available and what they are not doing but being remote. It can't just be a have your cake and eat it too situation.
Another great example of the crazy amount of innovation happening in the NeoVim community. It is really pushing Vim forward.
You have not argued for why we should strive for this, only exhorted us to do so.

I presume you think striving for statistically equivalent outcomes is good; I think it's pernicious nonsense. Since you haven't bothered making your case, I won't either.
org-babel has this down really well for org-mode markup you're into the Emacs ecosystem. I've been using it for a little over a year now for notes and documentation.
I’ve always thought that voting, at the national level, might benefit from non-geographic constituencies.

The representatives might be for 24 to 34 year olds, unmarried mothers, children, prisoners, or of course the homeless. People who need more representation than they are probably getting.

The more categories you fall into, the more votes you get. Maybe that’s not a bad thing when faced with the status quo of money based politics.

It is a poorly thought out idea but your comment reminded me to give it some more time.

As I recall, there’s an index of the market, or significant fractions of it (Wilshire 5000). One can invest in that and get whatever happens. Also qqq is basically 3-5 tech stocks as I recall - the rest are not really contributing to growth.

I don’t have time or interest to watch things like a hawk. I suspect pretty much everything on the market is correlated which makes most switches less effective. And this sure sounds like “wah, people are not paying me to manage their money”. And if they’re paid by commission it’s doubly bogus.
Is it, though? I think real cases might frequently be less complicated, in Java at least. As is evident from the candidate experiences that the original commenter describes, there's a lot more complexity in strings than is immediately obvious.

I agree with 'Gunax that that's likely to be tripping people up - as I mentioned in the comment to which you're replying, albeit in a somewhat recent edit, this has not nothing to do with why our own similar interview problems don't revolve around any operation on strings.
I like puzzles like this, where it's not just "what does each person know?" but also "when did they know it?"

> Why do people care so much about GDP, the number is higher now than for my parents generation but it is much harder for people now to buy a home/start a family.

That's true everywhere. Inflation has been low for the last 20 years. Consequently interest rates interest rates have been low, and so asset prices have been spiralling upwards for the last 20 years. Spiralling asset prices means the price of a house is a higher multiple of your yearly income. And yes, if you happen to be at the house buying age at this time in the cycle it's downright unpleasant. We all know interest rates will likely rise, and that will cause a great deal of pain to people who maxed out their borrowings when rates are at record lows. Japan is the spiritual home of low inflation and high asset prices so it's been going on much longer there. But this has been happening in most countries, and most of them have growing populations.

I live in Australia. I find Japan's hand wringing about the "our standard of living is doomed if out population density keeps dropping" downright funny. Japan has slightly worse GDP per capita than us (which I would put down to Australia's abundant natural resources). But when it comes to population density, there is simply no comparison:

https://countryeconomy.com/countries/compare/japan/australia...

Japan's current rate of population decline would have to continue for over a millennia before it's population density reaches ours.
Bonus meta-puzzle: the puzzle as stated is actually unsolvable. Both Sandy and Peter have to know something that the puzzle implies but does not actually stipulate that they know. What is it?
