> Sometimes I even witnessed both of these responses from the same person in successive sentences in contexts where it would be illogical for both to be true.

to be blunt: this is your misunderstanding

fundamentally leaving the currency/monetary union and leaving the economic/political union are completely different things, so obviously they would have different outcomes

Greece was considering the former, the UK carried out the latter

the latter (brexit) is at worst is predicted to do some minor damage to growth over a long period of time, which your average person won't even notice

ignoring the practical problems of re-introducing a currency (eg. prevent people hoarding physical euros), even the suggestion that leaving the euro is going to happen would immediately trigger a massive exodus of capital, and at the point it happens you have a massive devaluation that immediately wipes out the savings accounts of everyone in the country as the speculators pile in

and then inflation goes crazy (making today look harmless)

as the Greeks discovered: it is politically impossible, especially when the EU's position is that "the Euro and the EU are linked: leaving one means leaving the other", which would have triggered the situation above in a UK with that adopted the euro
Matt Levine seems pretty popular here and his dumb investment certificate idea, while ofc a joke, expresses the sentiment that maybe it's not possible to regulate everything but some investments (eg nfts) are transparently dumb and if you lose your money on them it's annoying to complain like "how was I, a simple dentist, supposed to know I'd get swindled?!":

1. Anyone can invest all they want in a diversified portfolio of approved investments (non-penny-stock public companies, mutual funds and exchange-traded funds with modest fees, insured bank accounts, etc.).

2. Anyone can also invest in any other dumb investment; you just have to go to the local office of the SEC and get a Certificate of Dumb Investment. (Anyone who sells dumb non-approved investments without requiring this certificate from buyers goes to prison.)

3. To get that certificate, you sign a form. The form is one page with a lot of white space. It says in very large letters: “I want to buy a dumb investment. I understand that the person selling it will almost certainly steal all my money, and that I would almost certainly be better off just buying index funds, but I want to do this dumb thing anyway. I agree that I will never, under any circumstances, complain to anyone when this investment inevitably goes wrong. I understand that violating this agreement is a felony.”

4. Then you take the form to an SEC employee, who slaps you hard across the face and says “really???” And if you reply “yes really” then she gives you the certificate.

5. Then you bring the certificate to the seller and you can buy whatever dumb thing he is selling.

6. If an article ever appears in the Wall Street Journal in which you (or your lawyer) are quoted saying that you were just a simple dentist, didn’t understand what you were buying and were swindled by the seller’s flashy sales pitch, then you go to prison.
They could. But physical and economic proximity to Russia probably make it a tougher call than someone like the US.
The problem in WWI was that alliances were made in secret. A secret defensive pact can't deter anyone. NATO is anything but secret.

I guess you will have to give an explanation what you think constitutes a free market and what kind of fairness you have in mind.

It depends on the kind of property, as there might be very legitimate reasons for the government (representing the people in democratic nations) to have a direct say what you are allowed do with it. You might own a lake or a spring that's important for the population. You might own a factory where government dictates how clean the sewer runoff needs to be. Would that be unfair?

I stated below that it is all about balancing interests, as I view every kind of extremism (that includes free market maximalism) as at least counterproductive, if not outright harmful
Do I understand this correctly: there's no inherent incentive to put the "correct" price, they just need to agree with each other. Essentially playing "Guess 2/3 of the average" but it's just "Guess the average".
They can be sued if they claim that they hold more assets than they are issuing. If you tell everyone that it's a dollar per coin, and suddenly there are 5 billion coins, you better have $5 billion to your name somehow.

Not sure if there have been similar lawsuits in the crypto world yet.
I suppose I'm wondering if the definition of "hard work" has shifted. In the '50s and '60s was "hard work" like 60 hour weeks and "hustle economy" type of stuff? or was it just "doing a good job" 40 hours a week?
"other assets" is the important thing here. Can "other assets" be a bunch of Groupons? I don't see why not.
The signalling works differently depending on who you are.

In my case, if someone has a LV (or similar) bag/purse etc. I have no interest in interacting with them.

Interestingly, this 'signal' applies whether the bag is real or a cheap knockoff - I don't need to check whether the item is genuine, I assume I want to avoid interaction in both cases.
I found Gervais Principle to be fascinating. Although, like you say the book definitely has it's problems. Fortunately, years before I encountered Gervais Principle, I had already seen a similar thing with technical books. Just because an author talks with confidence and presents a logical soundish framework doesn't mean they actually know what they are talking about OR it doesn't mean that what they are talking about is universally applicable.

I got the same feeling from Gervais Principle. There's some lessons to learn here, however you also need to make sure you bring a lot of salt to the table.
I admit it. Many of my peers do. Luck is fickle and hard quantify. Effort and decision making less so. It is at least obvious why people have such a bias.
I think this was a deliberate move from the Trello team not to implement this. They were very much focussed on the "not developers" market and didn't want to implement features which were mostly only of interest to a developer audience.

> realistic option for true cross platform UIs that run everywhere

I switched from Flutter to JUCE and haven't looked back. Its a far better user experience, and a far better developer experience too.

People often overlook it, because its pitched as a framework for Audio developers, but the work to make a truly operational cross-platform GUI has pushed it into 'suitable for normal application' territory, imho.

Anyone looking to solve the platform issue would be very wise to do a few workbench sessions with JUCE, and to a lesser degree, the Godot gaming framework as well. These are perfectly cromulant ways to build high-performance, cross platform, accessible applications...
I think this article is more damning of a simple two-party system than it is of re-districting. How does the math change if you simply draw arbitrary boundaries of roughly equal size but have multiple parties and ranked-choice voting?
> What next, should I write "the bank has to give me $1M" on a piece of paper and show it to the bank teller?

That might be a reasonable analogy if the constitution declared that they must be a NATO member—-asserting that it can obligate an outside entity into taking a particular action. But, it does not do that.
I think the slow exercise routine was more important, but I'd always take supplements after exercise, with a meal. The gel cap powders seem better r.e. absorption than the solid pills (the supplier I use is Jarrow, they have various mixes or you can get each separately, but I have no idea if they're any better than other suppliers). I only ever take about half the recommended dose, i.e. if the bottle recommends four a day I generally take just two.
They do until they don't.

You are correct about Laravel apps, but there's some nuance here. The Heroku magic only worked for Rails in the early days. We (Fly.io) have a similar experience for Phoenix, Rails and Remix apps. We don't have magic for Laravel yet (soon: https://fly.io/jobs/laravel-specialist/).

Docker images are a way for people to run anything they want on Fly.io. You probably won't need them on one of our happy path frameworks.

Tether and UST are not comparable. Tether is a token you can redeem for USD with a questionable past. UST is a project started by a scammer. An algorithmic stablecoin. A Ponzi uses a Ponzi to prop up the price. And then head scammer used personal money to keep the charade going
I think you're missing the point. I know that you are right, but the rule still stands.
That seems like a fair policy to avoid getting DDoSed by withdrawals in periods of high demand (i.e. bank runs). Presumably they mainly intend to serve exchanges which are doing withdrawals in the $millions.

Hmm yeah, one of those seems a lot more rational than the others... but I suppose if I were to say which one someone would claim that it's just my partisan bias.
Sure does. They should go build it. Somewhere other than on top of the eight hundred and sixty year old cathedral.
I don’t think so! Even permanent and supposedly non-arbitrary boundaries are subject to intense political contestation. Observe how in the first decades of this country’s history states were often admitted in pairs, one slave and one free (for instance Missouri and Maine), in order to maintain the balance of power.

> There could be many implementations of this law, worthy of debate, but gerrymandering is not plausibly one of them.

The debate isn’t about whether gerrymandering is acceptable, but over who should be given the power, if anyone, to do something about it, and whether, if the courts are empowered to do so, they have clear guidelines to apply in exercising that power.
You are moving the target. I've asked how stable coins pegged to the dollar are considered speculative assets.
I work at Google and generally love it but this is currently my #1 complaint about being on an infra team. We have no PM so it falls to me to figure out how best to apply the systems and tools we have in new domains... but I can't actually make these decisions unilaterally. It requires people on the other side of whatever engagement and those relationships are complex and often fickle and it takes a huge amount of my time to navigate them. We temporarily had a PM who got a bunch of initiatives started but then swapped teams and all of the momentum vanished.
Even if you're right that analog watches are better tools that's not what Adams was saying. "We all know, really, that [analog clock face] is a lot more instantly meaningful to us than 15:39" which is just wrong. Plenty of people, myself included, get more instant meaning from a digital readout.

Eh, I think if the troublemakers are in the world, then you might as well have to learn about dealing with them as part of school too.

This "the learning environment was better without the riffraff" just doesn't sit well with me. It's too easy of an excuse to justify segregation and classification, and self serving. I'm sure everyone there likes it and agrees with each other that it's reasonable, and I'm also sure that's not a good enough reason to do something.

I overheard teachers making hay about my iq tests and was put into my school's g&t programs too, so, I don't say this from an opposite but equally self serving position.

If we're so smart, then we should be able to figure out a good way to let the gifted grow without seperating and classifying everyone, and making some people too-aware how special they are over everyone else, and making other people who never did anything wrong, aware under no uncertain terms that they are limited and the cone of possibility for their life is already prescribed and small. If we're actually as smart as we tell ourselves, then why do we accept such a poor solution to that problem?

The answer is smart people are not better people, but they will never tell themselves that, and they don't respect anyone else's opinion. The only counter to that is the exposure that comes from mixing.
The US government at all levels is controlled by two parties. While neither side is going to just hand over control to the other, they certainly aren't going to vote in a system that would allow a 3rd party to emerge.

There is no way such a system would ever be allowed to produce a ballot without a Republican and Democrat on it. If you're not on the ballot, you don't get elected. Full stop. There would be all sorts of bizarre measures and "tests" added to such a system before it was ever in place to make sure that only the existing parties would ever be on the ballot.

That’s an invention to justify your desire to force people out of their homes to make way for your preferred use of their land.

You don’t want to only tax the profits when they actually do eventually sell; you want to tax unrealized “value” that they derive no benefit from and will never see if they remain in their homes and as part of their community.

Not sure. There's a lot of selection bias here: all of the US speaks English, which you can presumably understand.

If they can justify to legislators being able to spy on all network traffic, they can probably also convince those same legislators that encryption is a tool only bad guys use to prevent justice being served.

There's a constant push, at least in the US, for regulation on encryption. It's gotten consistently shot down thus far, thankfully. But it's a never-ending battle. And one day people will most likely become complacent enough to let go and feel the liberty melt away.

Just like the last couple generations have gotten increasingly soft on our right to bear arms. They've been conditioned to believe that it's dangerous, and boomer-like, and no longer important.

I don't think that analogue watches demonstrate the continuous nature of time. They tick. That's discretizing time. Sure you can omit the seconds hand or even make it run smoothly, and some do, but that's not reflective of the nature of the timepiece. You could just as well make a digital clock that fades out the unit seconds digit as the new one fades in. Or show digits until a blurby hundredth of a second, which some do.
Netherlands. I wonder if it is similar: I saw a few here and they were friendly, no cuffs, they had a list of IPs, made an appointment to collect the drives etc (and that was with enough proof to know for sure they would find what they were looking for). But sure I can see how it escalates but why would they if there are no guns (usually only with drugs at which points they will come with more force)? Shame about Germany but why don’t we hear these things more; they should be on the front page of HN I guess (and not in German or in any language outside english if it awareness needs to be built)? At least the outline. So which dutch articles did I miss I wonder then; I cannot find any of these kind of overreaches.

Also German lawyers seem to be far more trigger happy in a lot of cases than dutch like with copyright and not having your company info on your site etc; seems there is more litigation there like an industry looking for people to ‘sue’. Why aren’t people protesting or are they?

This article resonates pretty deeply with me, an engineer at a different company Salesforce acquired years ago that, like Heroku, "had resisted integration into the larger Salesforce organization and as a result was really really starved for headcount."

I joined right when the organization was starting to give in and integrate more, largely out of a combination of need for resources and OG execs having been either replaced or else "org-chart-subjugated" by Salesforce execs, whose influence grew stronger over time.

I'm looking towards the door a lot these days. The last few years have been a slow downhill slide, but the last month in particular feels like the edge of the slope where it becomes a straight drop down into the abyss.

I've been brushing up on leetcode and polishing up my résumé. As catharsis and to help me process the stress and everything I've been feeling at work lately, I even wrote up a "goodbye" letter in my _personal_ Google Drive account, and I guess this article's author had the same feeling as me, because "my coworkers have left the sinking ship, and it's time for me to get on a lifeboat too" was the exact analogy that came to my mind, which matches the OP's bit about "the ship has been sinking for years but the culture of Heroku really stuck around long enough that it was hard to realize the ship was sinking", and I've felt the same sad realization that the author expresses here as "The Heroku I joined no longer exists. I joined Heroku but I left Salesforce."

I joined $acquisition, but my reasons for leaving, once I get it all all lined up, will be Salesforce. It doesn't help that Salesforce has committed to a long-term project with the explicit goal of making $acquisition no longer exist. That just confirms the reality of what I've experienced as being an intentional choice by the company rather than an accident.
It is an absolutely giant company. This means that you can find almost every possible experience. "Google is awful and here is why" blogs get a lot of traction and there will always be ample supply of people who had a bad experience and chose to leave simply by virtue of there being like 80,000 engineers.
But this is not true, it is not more sales that fix the problem it is more sales that are -successfully selling- that fix it.

I've seen companies where more sales has amplified the problem

EDIT: I use Sales as a shorthand for "Salespeople" but OP use Sales for "revenue" maybe ?
Funny, the iPhone 5S is built better than the iPhone 7, well change the battery because that's how Apple was getting you, getting me, they better have my money they owe me from the class-action lawsuit I qualify for and was told to collect on, like $200. Their local Chilean distributor owes it, whose name is Reifschneider. That bitch better have my money.

But, once you replace the battery so it doesn't crap out right when you're trying to make an emergency call, it's actually a better phone than its successor. Just better. Doesn't crack as easily, and less compatible with crappy apps. No 5G. So so much better.

Despite whatabouting away from the women example, some of those can be classified as human rights, and what we currently have on some of those topics you could call a "reasonable rational compromise", even if I personally disagree, but right now Republicans are planning some interesting totalitarian anti-women, anti-privacy type stuff to tackle abortion.

Sometimes your opponent actually is taking an actual anti-human rights position. It's pretty common.
