Having dealt with end of life Healthcare for a family member who dies of cancer, I'm curious how you can see it any other way. It is purely wealth extraction at end of life.

When you lose you job and insurance due to health, you can not qualify for state aid if you have any assets at all. you you must spend until you are broke before you get any help. Then there is the issue of nursing homes. If you end up in one, they have the ability to unwind any asset transfers in the previous 5 years, so if you thought you can transfer your house to your children before you die, you can not. The nursing home and the hospitals will suck every penny out of an estate and the only way to prevent it is to die quickly.

I think you are oversimplifying this. If you don't know how FastAPI handles sync code, then you can't claim it is on par with Flask. I suggested it might use an executor, after looking in their code, they use a thread pool support in Starlette, which in turns imports this thread pool logic from AnyIO. I see no easy way to determine what is the size of the pool. Clearly this isn't designed as a main way to run code, it is just a quick way to run sync code w/o blocking the loop. I would not consider this up to par with the concurrency you get from Gunicorn or uWSGI using a configurable thread or process pool.

The ethical dilemmas associated with this won't be in doing it, but in doing it for whom, and its implications for fundamental ideas underlying society, like merit, compensation, and justice.

Where does fault lie for something like criminality, if someone is environmentally disadvantaged and denied low-risk genotype for it? Doesn't the fault then lie in the state? If you live in a society where embryos can be selected for very low risk of criminality, but someone is born without that opportunity, and then causes you harm, isn't that a form of neglect on the part of society?

I'm not sure what your point about imports in Python means. Normally you shouldn't import *, you just import the functions/classes you need, so nothing pollutes your namespace.

And for your last example did you mean `Universe.create()`? It should be a static or class method. Those are perfectly fine when they're closely related to the class itself, as with factory methods.

Securing Our Internal Tools
Devil's advocate: the only reason the product is so nice is because the grubby handed business types could raise the money by promising MRR to the investors. Reverse devil's advocate: and this is why hacking is so essential, so that some of us get to have our cake (meticulously and expensively designed stuff) and eat it too (opt out of MRR). Although this does create a new kind of 1%, but its one based on merit so its okay?
States also charge tax on gas.

For example, California charges both $0.539 per gallon AND sales tax. The latter varies based on city/county/district and is charged on the "after per-gallon tax" price.

The total sales tax in San Jose is 9.375%, so $6.50 at the pump includes $0.557 in sales tax. (The "at the pump" price includes sales tax.)

That's a total of $1.096/g state and local for $6.50/g at the pump.

Add in the federal $0.184/g and the total tax is $1.28/g on $6.50/g gas in San Jose.

There may also be permit fees.

This is about dishwashers, but I once read about regulation-enforced water/energy-saving cycles resulting in ineffective cleaning, which backfired, as people then got in the habit of always selecting the heaviest cycle or even re-adopted pre-rinsing.

Yeah, public reddit is terrible, but make an account, unsubscribe the default subreddits and subscribe to smaller subreddits, and it can be awesome. A selection of subreddits I can recommend (depending on your interests of course):

> The only thing that maintains the value of any asset (or currency) is the collective belief in that asset or currency. Put another way: there is an inescapable component of trust in every asset.

> So what actually makes the US dollar work as a currency is that it is backed by the long dick of the US government. This is a combination of economic, military and even cultural might.

What many people call fiat is in fact partly a proof of violence consensus algorithm. Practically applied it means the sovereign will create a demand for its currency by imposing taxes denominated in that currency on its subjects and then threatening or using violence against parties that don't pay those taxes. However, that alone is insufficient to maintain the value of a currency. Mr. Mugabe of Zimbabwe surely had no philosophical aversion to using violence to maintain the value of the Zimbabwean dollar, but the collapse in his country's productive capacity rendered that moot.

Thus we can see that another major part of what makes the US dollar work is that the US economy that the US government has the power to tax is extremely large, productive, and well-diversified.

There can be cost bloat in all of those services, and if additional spend in those areas nets marginal or negligible additional outcomes, they might be “overgrown.”

There’s an analogy here to code bloat and minimum viable product, I’m sure.

Disclaimer: I’m currently building a product to help with my own organization challenges.

This is what I realized as well—organization is the hard part. I kept struggling to find notes when I wanted to reference them. In my case, my notes are usually (but not always) captured in a meeting. I would struggle to find content because I might remember a person, a rough date, or some topic discussed… but if I put it in the wrong folder, tag, or physical notebook I was out of luck.

I put together a simple prototype that pulled all the metadata off my calendar included it in notes. That was really helpful.

We liked it enough playing with it internally that we built a product (witful.com). In 2.5 years of real world use I’ve almost never struggled to find stuff. Really has been a game changer for me, but my content is meeting centric.
> My house is valuable to me even if there isn't a collective belief in it.

It surely is, but this is just a semantic play on the word "value". You mean something like "personally important" in that sentence, the comment you were replying to was using it under its well-established economic definition.

In fact, your house is *not* valuable (in the economic sense) if there isn't a collective belief in it's equivalent in currency. Rather: it is exactly as valuable as the market is willing to pay, which is just a statement of the definition of "market value". That's what "collective belief" means in this context.

Am I the only one who looks at these projects with a combination of awe and apathy and jealousy? I do software, not hardware, and I like knowing how things work. When an expert in a different field glances at a PCB and identifies components, their purpose, by sight, and then rummages around a loose parts bin to go deeper, it dawns on me: this is someone's life. The same way I've been swimming in (application) software, and could do similar things with a repo, or even running processes, this person can do in hardware, and it's a set of interlocking skills that took an entire life to grow.
Based on the replies to your comment I might try another model, but I had one and it was a huge hassle cleaning up before it, cleaning up after it and cleaning it multiple times per job because the brushes would get “tangled” on nothing. I stopped using it because it’s less work to just get the mop and broom and do it myself. It feels like it’s main selling point is keeping a clean floor clean, but if you have kids, hair, pets or a party you’re gonna have a bad time.
IME many churches, even of the same faith, are trying to win over people who don't believe at all and those who don't believe the same way. So people who don't X, Y, Z as they do are doing it wrong or not truly A, B, C.

Rise of agnosticism and atheism also motivates them to action. After all these are eternal souls bound to suffer forever in flames and darkness.

I've emailed them and I am interested in donating to see what interesting projects people shall come up with.

I am interested in distributed systems, parallelism, data structures, algorithms, database architecture. I like the idea of a compiler that exposes its pipeline as a website that people can write materialized views over. Static analysis and optimisation crowdsourced. Like compiler explorer. If you represent your mappings as algebra then you can find equivalent plans like a cost based optimiser in a database.

Ideas4 has data structure ideas.
I sign up for a lot of services when I'm on vacation (local taxi, event and tour guides that now require apps, SIM card contracts, etc). Losing/breaking small electronics is a big risk when traveling, so I wouldn't use Yubikeys for those even if they are supported.
I have a PhD in math, but in a different area. I wish I had time to dive into Grothendieck's work to understand how/why it was so unique and revolutionary. Seems like it's still being mined for insights into modern problems.

Usually some singleplayer FPS with (practically) zero pauses for cutscenes/story/etc with quicksave+quickload so i can run it, play for 5 minutes, save, exit and pick it up at any time without having to wonder where i am or what is going on with the story. Pretty much always this is games i've already played at the past at least once. Recently it is Unreal 1 or Doom 3.

Also whenever i listen to some podcast (or video with just people talking) i like to boot up such a game (i often play Doom 3 BFG Edition since it supports gamepad and i can relax on my chair instead of hunching over the keyboard and mouse - i also use RBDoom3 sourceport which allows skipping cutscenes, etc and works natively on Linux) with the game's audio volume to barely audible.
I've worked in a number of places and people don't have the limitations you believe.

A junior helping a senior? Shame on them? Fire the senior? That sounds really foolish. You realize that junior/senior/etc are labels and someone you hire a junior can know more syntax than a senior in a framework. That's okay that the senior seeks helo.. it's natural and what a senior should do. p You are presenting your company in a bad light and making yourself sound inexperienced.

Could you have reached your limit? Would your methods fly elsewhere? Apply the len to yourself and see where you end up.
Reddit had a big shift recently when they had their mobile first redesign - it's made the website subjectively worse to HN types...and has massively increased its appeal. That, combined with the deep algorithmic shifts to the front page after the 2016 election cycle (when every other post was either a "give money to the Sanders Campaign" or "MAGA forever") has made it more difficult for deeper or more esoteric content to rise to the front page.

That being said, I find that Reddit is like Twitter - if you take the time to curate and cultivate your subreddits, you can have a very good experience there. The best of Reddit is the small subreddits that fit your niche and your communities.

I should point out that the consequence he was warning about was being made into a techno serf and that the danger was so great that it was worth abandoning technological comforts to prevent it.

Sure. I think that's a really reasonable choice.

Regarding the original point, I think it's important to highlight that without the industrial revolution humans wouldn't be able to live closely together in cities. Living in a city is a choice, and you've chosen the modern option because it's superior.

This doesn't seem like a disaster as much as a net-positive with some fairly mild tradeoffs.
Well, is it perhaps the case that the device would cost a ton more if consumables weren't DRM'd?

I'd say the problem here is disingenuous marketing. If producers honestly communicated beforehand that it is not really a sale, but rather a sort of pay-as-you go leasing, it would be clearer for everyone.

Even HP -- for all its faults -- have started selling honest ink subscription services and unless they DRM the printers to reject after-market refills and refuse to sell unlocked ones for a premium, I would accept it as fair.
