> To translate the status of the NDP into American: you can think of them as those third-party candidates who'd actually usher in change, but thanks to FUD everyone votes for one of the two neoliberals

I don't think the fear, uncertainty, and doubt are unwarranted when your policy proposal are roughly "free everything for everyone" and "no rich people allowed".

I'm being a bit crass, but I don't have the time to dig up and cite their policy proposals from the federal election a few years ago which looked like a fantasy wishlist that ignores things like "costs".
It would be interesting to see what the trends are for "spreading" decentralization.

I still live near enough to San Francisco / San Jose that I can go to the office if needed once every few weeks -- but far enough away that I have a much better quality of like (Santa Cruz). I can't help but think I am not alone in that.

The modern tendency is to codify and systematize all management decisions.

In the old British Empire, the upper class learnt the classics (as in, ancient myths) and were packed off to go rule the world. It didn’t go so badly (for Britain).

Perhaps we can combine the two - managers to study human nature, and then study the problem, and then use regular brainpower to come up with good solutions.
Well the $2000 is a one time investment. You can probably make furniture for the next 20 years with those same machines.
Oddly enough just yesterday, I was thinking of why alcohol and foods with low nutritive value haven't suffered the same fate as tobacco.

If you advocate for universal healthcare (like my country has), then it's ultimately in society's best interest to keep everyone as healthy as possible to avoid burdening the healthcare system, which does mean that government needs to step in and place limitations on advertising, sales to minors, laws, etc.

Just as a few examples, we (my country) currently has: no advertising to children under 13, seat belt laws, helmet laws, smoking packaging laws, alcohol advertising laws, and so on. It's odd that communities are spending millions on active living infrastructure, and simultaneously allowing companies to run ramshod marketing unhealthy and addictive products. And by 'odd', I mean that these organizations have enough backing to influence politicians to the detriment of society.

As I recall, tobacco companies only took action when laws changed or when they started losing lawsuits - given how destructive alcohol is for society it wouldn't be a stretch to make it less socially-acceptable to consume 'empty' calories. Some industries are mandated to spend part of their advertising budget on 'preventative' campaigns, but in almost 100% of the cases, these 'anti-whatever' messages are cleverly disguised to sell even more of their product (e.g., anti-gambling, soft drink recycling). There may be no perfect solution, but doing nothing isn't an answer either.
>That is what happens when people aren't willing to pay for software and SaaS is the only way to make them open the purse.

No, this is what happens when lazy developers prioritize their own convenience over what's best for everyone.

They want to write JS once and have it run everywhere, so we end up with abominations like wasm and node.

People are perfectly willing to pay for games, just look at Steam.
I've always wanted to try Mutt, but from the outside it seems quite daunting.

This is the correct (and massive) caveat for everything StackOverflow posts from their own data. It tells you a lot about some developers and absolutely nothing about others.

I use it a lot for my secondary languages, but when writing a well-documented language/framework like C# .NET, I never use it. The Microsoft docs cover everything.
none of those are harm, you just want to control others. Esp drugs, I will not stand by and let you attack the good name of drugs.
I've recently taken up basketry for much the same reasons, but it has the added bonus that you don't really need any special equipment and the cost of materials is pretty low. Just so satisfying holding a thing in your hand that software just doesn't have.
The southern states are pretty great. ATL (hometown) is getting more expensive but has a pretty decent tech scene. Also the best airport in the US (direct flights everywhere).

I've also been interested in North Carolina for a little while. Much more affordable (compared to PNW), and has some really nice areas (Asheville, Raleigh/Durham). But transportation is a bit more limited.
The top 10 metro areas list is interesting. Philadelphia, San Antonio, Houston, San Diego and Phoenix not on there despite all 5 being in the top 10 MSA and city population, while DC, Portland, Seattle, Atlanta, Boston are on there.

I am also shocked that Portland is growing. I went to Portland this year recently, it is the worst city in the country I have been to. 90% of downtown is boarded up, city is deserted, massive homelessness crisis.

Elmira/Corning dropping is kind of interesting. Since Corning is entirely propped up by Corning Glass.
Nah. I stopped playing after the web app that I saved on my iPhone’s Home Screen stopped working shortly after the NYT takeover. Actually, I think it still ‘worked’ but it changed to not be as minimalistic as the original Wordle web app and it lost my progress so I just dropped it. No hard feelings, I had fun with the game while it lasted.

I'm a previous owner of a few Pine products but I just can't get even a little exited about any of their hardware anymore for most of the reasons you mentioned. Pine supporters will point out that their site claims they don't develop or support software and while that is actually true, their entire software stack is held up by a handful of people doing the work for little gratitude and no pay.

It's quite a shame how much better their hardware could be if they hired someone to do the in-house work for stable OS support on any of their devices.
This does not sound like good system design.

“NFTs create a frictionless easily exchangeable market for goods… BUT make sure you check with the people, project, company or government that has authority over this good as to whether this particular NFT is actually a useful representation of anything. Because, at any arbitrary point they can just decide to not honor any of these.”

Why not buy the good directly from this party? Then at least the government has authority and can enforce your right to the product or service or at least a refund?

I'll reply on my own comment here to add that the same reasoning applies to gun rights. We need a critical mass of the populous to have personal responsibility, or we are missing parameters in the calculus of our right to bear arms.

Until we are generally intelligent enough to understand this, the gun rights issue, and any other related ones like the parent here, will be played out as a surreal dance of contrasting political interests.
Pay bands are the minimum and maximum that employees at a specific level are paid. So this only works if a company is legitimately going to hire people for $5MM a year and/or have existing employees at that level paid that amount.

Also, such large pay bands will raise eyebrows, as they are indicative of discrimination. Why such wildly different wages for the same role?
It’s funny you bring this up because while I have joined the Tables For Layout Are Considered Harmful club, I never really have heard a completely convincing argument on why tables have this bad rap. I think it’s mostly because, semantically, tables don’t make sense for layout, but back in the days before frameworks such as Foundation and Bootstrap (and more recently native CSS3 mechanisms), tables with invisible borders were nearly perfect for layout containers.
Facebook was down for 6 hours last year during the day (in the western world) so that was very impactful most likely. And as wonderwonder said advertising is an eyeballs game and if no one is on the site then they're not seeing/clicking/attributing to ads. Any non-monopoly would have a decent impact from downtime as customers either spend their time on other sites or buy more time sensitive things on other sites.

edit: There's also a lot of revenue impacting things short of downtime especially given the automated and ML heavy paths for most of these sites. A few slightly broken features in a key model can cause a 1% drop in your revenue which for facebook is over a billion a year.
>Yes, there's a problem

Yes, "problem"

>that residents of the United States of America (just one country within North America/the Americas) adopted the term "American" to describe (mostly) only themselves.

The use of America to, in English, refer specifically to the English-speaking residents of North America long precedes 1776.

Further, the English language's use of "America/Americans" to refer specifically to the United States and its people as opposed to Chileans or Mexicans is consistent in every major European language except Spanish.

>But there are plenty of sporting and diplomatic events that make clear that "American" has broader meaning than "the USA".

Yes, the Organization of American States (headquartered in Washington DC) = "plenty of sporting and diplomatic events".

I will pose the same question that Veen did elsewhere, regarding the hysterical claim that after Brexit, Britons are no longer European. Are Swiss and Norwegians European? Why, or why not?
At least a year but what I’ve found is a lot of trees that get downed are already dead and dried out before a storm eventually brings them down. In this case, there is no waiting.

Alternatively you can take them to a kiln to get dried and the price still ends up being far below what you would pay per board foot for S2S lumber.
After looking at all the examples nothing stands out as particularly appealing. It ends up being just a more verbose version of regular expressions, but with less clear semantics, harder to see the underlying constructs. Over the years I've become quite familiar with regexp so maybe I'm just biased, but I'd rather have something like CoffeeScript's block expressions instead, where you can easily group and document each part:

Volcker has recounted an incident in which he more or less walked out of a White House meeting with Reagan and James Baker, after Baker tried to order him to lower the discount rate.

Volcker also recalled telling Carter during his interview for the job that yes, he could stop inflation -- but then Carter would not be re-elected. Carter's reply was "Do it anyway."
You're not the only one, but most people think you're being ridiculous. It has nothing to do with black and white people any more than blackmail does. Or... should that be extortmail?

Yes of course there are more than two classes, but usually the line between having enough free cash to invest or not is pretty binary, what’s what I want to say I meant there by ‘rich’ and ‘poor’ ;). I’m sure most of us here are in one of the middle classes, but speaking personally, my investments have really never rested on having excess income, and I very much doubt that it does for most people above the, say, 70% line. Investments and savings are made in advance of tallying play cash. When I forego a vacation, the money gets dispersed among other optional uses, maybe a stay-cation and a PlayStation and dropping a little extra in the kids’ savings accounts.

On the flip side, eating at McDonalds in the first place is generally speaking a class indicator. I assumed that was the reason @PaulHoule used McDonalds. Foregoing McDonalds is quite unlikely to result in having enough cash to invest in something else. You still have to eat, and a lot of foods are more expensive than McDonalds even from a typical grocery store.
I feel perfectly comfortable reducing my workplace happiness to a single value. I don't think I could even expand it to more than two axes if I tried.
I think it's somewhat speed-dependent. I ride motorcycles and bikes. On a motorcycle at high speed it's impossible (in my experience) to take a turn without counter steering. You sometimes have to push really hard on the handle on the side where you want to go.

Also, leaning is very similar to counter steering; counter steering makes the bike "fall" on the side where you want to go.

Interestingly, you can also steer a horse without doing anything on the reins; the horse will usually go where you put your weight; I think it's because it needs to compensate for the weight differential; or maybe it takes it as a hint about which way you're looking. In any case it works.

This makes me think about the quality of the dependancy. If you could evaluate packages for things like:

* Test coverage -- that's not a metric on NPM
* Code practices -- what's the review history
* Issue velocity -- hard metric, lots of features vs fixes
* Hygiene -- for many languages is typing enforced / validated

I'm sure there are lots of other metrics, but so many times you're just evaluating two packages based on "star count" or "npm installs".
I'm being contacted for rates at 50%+ what the market was 3 years ago and they don't even care what my background is. And these are corporate recruiters, not phonebanks.
The joke relies on the fact that keys unlock doors, this is the cause, just like the prior one relies on the assumption that people rushing to one side crashes the plane.

If there are 10 comments explaining what a key is in the context of music and I add another that says "I understand what the key refers to but how was the door opened", one can only assume I lack the knowledge that keys open doors.

Sometimes people understand the more complex behaviours but somehow miss the simpler explanations, it's happened to me before.

The problem is that HTML has multiple uses. The author is describing the case of authoring content, with HTML used as a markup language. However a lot of websites and web applications use HTML more like a layout and templating engine for a GUI framework.

Musk has lots of followers and was marketing snakeoil perfectly well before Twitter and will be fine after Twitter. I think Musk’s Twitter count is based on his activity, not the other way around. He’s not rich because of Twitter.

But it’s just a theory and there could be other reasons.

Could be that Twitter just had bad management and by cutting lots of staff and establishing a clear ToS they can plaster ads everywhere and let trump back on to drum up activity.

Who knows? It’s kind of boring to me and I try not to follow it, but it leaks into my feeds. I just noticed the behavior and it reminds me of encountering griefers in games I’ve played.

About salaries at Microsoft. I interviewed with them this year.

I did a Codility test, followed by four interviews with four US based teams.

I got an offer which is 5 to 6 times what they pay in US.

I live in a country in Eastern Europe, and prices are a bit lower. I would have expected a lower offer, but not that much lower. It was less than I already make so I had to wish them good luck in finding another person and was feeling sorry that I lost so much time in the interviewing process and also invested a lot of energy.

The prairie provinces are more similar to the midwest—culturally and geographically—than they are to the rest of Canada. It would be a huge economic boon for them to just succeed to the US. Without the prairies the rest of Canada loses its breadbasket and primary revenue stream (oil), which would not bode well for Canadian unity, especially since Quebec already almost split off from the rest of the country.
Well I want privacy from other things, I do. It just so happens the FBI isn't in my threat model, to the contrary of what the ACLU and civil liberty advocates talk about. I really didn't expect it to turn out that way.

Privacy is kind of a fantasy, though. The concept of privacy. There's a quintillion amplifiers made every year (ie transistors), and that rate is increasing rapidly. Moore's law is essentially antithetical to actual privacy, meaning nobody knowing your secret.

What there is is keeping a low profile and avoiding emphasis on what you don't want amplified and repeated. Working the system.

> Cooking a healthy meal every night can be very time consuming. With things like work, school, and all of life’s other obligations it seems like there just isn’t enough time in a day.

I solved this by getting a pressure cooker. Every night before bed I prep my instant pot. I put in enough rice and beans for three meals the following day with diced vegetables, a spoonful of coconut oil, a little salt, and a shitload of spices. Then I put the lid on, seal it, and set a timer so that it starts cooking half an hour before I wake up. By the time I'm done shitting, shaving, and showering I've got three meals a day for me and my wife ready. I dish out breakfast and then put the leftovers in containers for lunch and dinner. If we want some meat, we cook that up fresh, but most of the time it's enough to slice up a hard-boiled egg and some cheese.

> Unfortunately, healthy food just doesn’t have much taste.

If it's too bland, you haven't added enough spice. My wife always thought brown rice and beans were too bland until I started making it for her, because I cook it with garam masala, garlic powder, parsley, and and black pepper.
