It takes a village, yet the western world runs on a two parent system that inherently creates conflict...

This isn't the only drawback of capitalism as we practice it. While it might not have featured much modern comfort, the traditional village also wasn't relentlessly commercial, relentlessly measured. There was some space for humans to live as they would, without accounting for every square inch of real estate and minute of life. (i.e., a child who wanted to stay somewhere else in the village than her parent's hut for a few weeks simply would have done that) Over time, these slack areas have been eliminated. Everything must be legible to the bean counters. What isn't, is made a crime against shareholders or taxpayers or security or democracy or property values or whatever. Of course, slack areas are the only source of resilience humans have. We just don't allow ourselves to think of that. "It's easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism."

Some will dismiss this as theorizing about conspiracies. The whole "conspiracy theory" meme is a distraction. Quasi-rational actors don't require coordination to respond identically to identical incentives. In general, that's how society has functioned, for millennia. The capitalist "innovation" is to tie more and more individual incentives to the preferences of capital. Capital cannot tolerate a village.

What you are describing is micromanagement. It is not necessary for you to say that's what it is, nobody ever thinks what they are doing or that what they favor is micromanagement, and yet that's what lots of people are doing. And that's what you're describing.

> Scrum teams do a quick rundown of the board on standup.

This is a major anti-pattern! What's funny is that other people I've been debating with in these threads have made the point that stand-ups aren't so bad because it isn't about status reporting, it's just a really quick get together ritual. And yet this is what lots of teams actually do, pull up the sprint backlog and have a planning meeting every single day.

What you're describing is a micromanaged process of very dubious value. I recognize that this is what lots of organizations do, but (to circle back to the article) it is very much the opposite of what companies like Google do, and not because they don't have tons of compliance and auditing requirements; they do.
I kinda chuckled at the author's "he regularly backs up his financial advice with Bible verses, erecting a clear fence around his target audience" quip. The kinds of people that people like the author profess to help are not nearly as "fenced out" by a little bit of bible quoting as people like the author are. The author then goes on to spew a bunch of stuff that's functionally equivalent. The stuff about "acknowledging privilege" and whatnot serves the exact same purpose in the author's article as the bible quoting stuff does in Ramsey's content.

I have no strong feelings bout this sort of rhetoric. It's a typical part of this kind of communication. However, I have very strong feelings about the cognitive dissonance displayed by the author and the double standard underlying it.

I had to re-read that sentence a couple times too, and I think it would be better if there were a comma after “(Financial Peace)” to separate the clauses. I think the author is saying that financial advice given by others before Dave Ramsey came along was targeting rich people.

Very good summary of some of Ramsey’s big ideas though, thanks!
I've worked in this field. In every sector there will be someone trying to game the system one way or another. Someone will publish a menu including items they don't actually have in order to try to rank higher in a search ("oh, we don't have that any more, but since you're here, why don't you try X..."). Someone will publish a menu with lower prices to get someone in the door ("oops, Google must have an old menu of ours"). Someone will publish a menu including something with their competitor's name in hopes of hijacking their searches. A steakhouse will mark a steak as vegetarian in hopes of tricking someone into thinking they have a vegetarian entree.

You'd be lucky if 50% of the restaurant supplied data is accurate, 40% is out of date, and 10% is actively incorrect. Personally I'd guess that the ratio would be more like 20/60/20.
The UUID version is in the actual ID, so you would be able to spot the version as it isn't fully random.

Although you light mean just visually you'd spot the difference much easier!
You misunderstand. I think it's empty. Devoid of contents. Lacking in essence. Not enough stuff. Missing something. Needs more.
Yes, but compare what you seen in RSS vs what you see when you see the home page. Even one less is lost money for the site.
I don’t read/follow Dave Ramsey, but maybe the best method is to focus on the largest interest payment instead of the largest principal amount. That would optimise for both at the same time.
Your guess is probably right.

Outside of curation, I think Maps lacks polish from non-US devs, and that results in weirdly unconvenient maps for a lot of cities, leading to people using it and contributing less to it.

For instance train station mapping (where are the entries/exits) is a feature available in some local map services and is a big quality of life improvement in europe or SEA cities, but never made it to Google Maps.

Same for the lack of multi-story building mapping, where there’s only a single shop for a single address, which can still work out for shopping malls (they have their own site), but is crazy for densely packed neighborhoods. Looking for restaurants in Paris or Tokyo through Google Maps is just frustrating.

Mathematically ideal solution vs good enough and implementable now solution.

Smallest debt first is not mathematically optimal but it's more tractable for people. And once you kick the little debts that's only costing you small monthly payments that gives you more financial stability making paying off the other debts easier.
Well, you don't do the maintenance yourself, you get some bored person to do it-- the important thing is they're not on a payroll and the result isn't someone's IP. Right now this strategy probably seems insane, because we are all so well compensated that the opportunity cost of working on OSS for free is massive, but sometimes you get 'lucky' and a software downturn frees up some engineering hours for further pro bono work on OSS. Pretty sure that has happened several times already, might happen again soon.
Helicopters aren't banned over Manhattan, etc, despite repeated efforts to do so.

In the late 1970's, all the building-top helipads stopped operation after repeated accidents.

Still, there's the helipads along the river and a VFR corridor in and out of Manhattan. In 2009, the altitude rules for the corridor got a lot stricter because of repeated fatal accidents.
Not to scare you or anything but to just reinforce the fact that you should incorporate regular retinal exams. My daughter is also around -10 and in a recent eye exam they did the retinal imaging thing (that i always thought was just an upsell scam). Well they found what they thought was retinoschisis. They referred her to a retina center (which of course took nearly a month).

At that exam they found that her left eye had substantial retinal detachment and scheduled her for a scleral buckle procedure the following Tuesday to avoid any further progression. Aside from seeing some sparks every now and then there were no symptoms. Ocular migraines run on both sides of the family so she wasn't too worried about it.
Thank you for the summary. And, re-read the quote ;-) The author was saying that before Dave Ramsey, financial advice was largely for people who were already wealthy.
I think it is purely psychological. It feels really good to pay off a debt, and might help people stick to it.

> The broader problem with budget culture is its emphasis on individual responsibility and insistence on ignoring the varying levels of access and privilege in our world.

This is the crux of the article. Basically, individual choices and responsibilities don’t exist or matter. The only thing that matters with this ideology is privilege.

I don’t quite understand how you can make an argument saying that budgeting doesn’t work. Numbers don’t lie, choosing to eat at home versus going out to eat at a restaurant is objectively cheaper, you take the saved difference and pay it towards your debts. Do this every day and you will be objectively better off than you would have if you ate out at a restaurant every day. The effect, taken over a year+ timespan is substantial.

It’s just sound advice: pay off your debts, save money where you can, don’t live above your means. I don’t know how or why this is controversial.
Why would you exercise option before it’s profitable to do so? Or before you leave a company?

I am not able to motivate further, it's just that usually when we talk about random numbers we mean uniformly distributed random numbers. It is not a requirement in a strict sense. It's just the easier way to tell about randomness. We all have an intuitive understanding of rolling a dice or flipping a coin.
interesting, these are more 'western' than the ghibli catalog as a whole, which does have some western stories. it almost seems like they were looking for less familiar material, much like i've been doing for the past number of years by watching more 'eastern' (chinese/japanese/korean) content. still, looks like i have some watching to do!

as a sidenote, i'm happy vulture put "spirited away" and "my neighbor totoro" at the top of their ghibli rankings[0]. these two films are amazing. i wouldn't have ranked "castle in the sky" at 3, but do agree that "grave of the fireflies" and "princess kaguya" should rank highly. "howl's movie castle" or "ponyo" would probably be #5 for me. "arrietty" would be last, despite me not having seen 5 of the films yet.

Atmospheric carbon capture seems like an petroleum industry scam to me (check the 'Members' page of that website.) In principle it's what plants do, but plants do it using scale; there's a whole bunch of them. CO2 is under 500ppm in our air, and air isn't particularly dense in the first place; the amount of air you'd need to move through your capture plant is immense.

On the Costs & Outlook page of this site, they list their potential feedstocks; it's all biomass, except for the 'Technical Potential "Unlimited"' column, which mentions Power-to-Liquids. But how does that actually work and does it actually make sense?

Yeah the article doesn’t really offer an alternative. Or maybe it does but is just not clear to me. What is the author advocating for exactly, in practical terms? “recognizing privilege” has no action.

Because you know what everyone should do and like? They don't work better for me.

Not a "fact", for me and for about half of the coders I know. Please stop assuming that the way you perceive the world applies to everybody else.

Name calling because I like a different keyboard than you? Yea, office noise is not the biggest problem in your immediate work area, I'll bet.

How's this: you type on what you like and stop telling others what to do. Everybody needs to deal with background noise (AC, telephones, conversations, squeaky chairs, clicky pens, etc.) in their own way and keyboards (clicky or not) are only a tiny part of that problem.
UUIDv7 looks interesting, but how is it different from ULID [1] in practice? I was considering using ULID for a upcoming new project because it is lexicographically sortable but it looks like UUIDv7 just can replace that.

> using cash because you are more aware of what you are spending when you actually have to hand over cash vs just swiping a card

It’s funny how this has flipped over the years. Swiped expenses are permanently there for one to stare at. Cash has already been withdrawn. The additional hit of actually spending it is usually insignificant to folks under 40.
There's no way airports use enough land to be able to 'solve the housing crisis' by using it for housing.

The housing crisis is an entirely self-created problem by the societies it exists in, and it has little to do with amount of land. For example, Japan and South Korea have relative little land -- and in the case of Japan, very little non-mountainous land -- relative to their population, and yet rent prices there are quite affordable, even in the megacities of Tokyo and Seoul.

Western cities tend to have some combination of greater restrictions on density/housing forms, and harder/more ambiguous red tape to develop new buildings. Relaxing these regulations would at least alleviate, it not outright solve the crisis, but people just don't wanna do that. It's not a technical issue, it's just that the political will isn't there.

As an example of ambiguous red tape, take the ubiquitous "community meetings" that are common in US cities any time there's a major new development. It's common for neighbors to raise random objections that may or may not relate to any building codes or zoning regulations, and then a planning board to force the developer to adapt to those objections, or just block the project outright.

What this means, is that there's really two sets of laws: one on the books, that was developed through normal democratic processes like city council members voting on them, or local initiatives passing, and then the second set is whatever the local residents feel like accepting in their heads.

We would never accept this for other laws, the idea of, "well sure you didn't break any laws on paper, but local residents don't like what you did and a few raised a stink about it at a community meeting, so you're going to jail anyway." But that's how building permitting actually works. You can't just follow actual laws, you have to make the subset of people who show up to community meetings all happy.
Self-help word salad made me chuckle. Thanks for that. Could all of this be more simply said as "be, and, remain curious?" I don't think you missed anything.
I read that as "typical financial advice was largely for people who were already rich", not Dave Ramsey's financial advice.
good point on ICC! I've compared against it a couple times before, but never got any satisfying results so forgot about it.
The idea of “secure triggers” seems like it wouldn’t work here. Your options are:

- have a large enough set of input parameters that it’s infeasible to guess-attack them, but risk even just a single parameter not being correct in your target system and therefore your payload never executed (completely undermining the entire operation)

- your key space has enough variability input to prevent the above, making it easy to guess or brute-force, and revealing the payload trivially.

Also, it would either way be easy for your target to reverse because they have full access to the target parameters.

Just because it's unlikely to happen doesn't mean it's overriding anything. They might simply delete all references, out-lawyer anyone who tries to sue them or simply ignore everything since they are based in China. Again, just because it is illegal doesn't mean therefore something will change. It just means it's illegal. Then you have litigation, but that might not change anything either. So the situation is the same, which means that your proposed action is unlikely to be the resulting outcome.
> There's no technical reason, other than thinness, for the way Dell soldered the RAM down, for instance.

That's a sentiment that's been repeated a lot, and it's not fully true.

One important property that soldered-on RAM has is increased security. There's been a demonstrably practical way to break full-disk encryption with physical access to a turned on or sleeping computer by re-attaching the memory quickly to another computer. The keys then can be read from the memory.

That's not a vector you have anymore if the memory is not removable.

Exactly, the feeling of paying off one debt completely have a momentum building/forward progress to it.
My father was arguably a self-made millionaire, even though he wouldn't have described himself that way. (He wasn't hugely wealthy, but he did live a couple of decades with FU money.)

He was literally born in a log cabin, with an outhouse, and rode horses to school. He was a migrant farm worker as a kid and young adult.

Yes, it was worth it. He got to spend money on his kids and grandkids. He got to do pretty much what he wanted to do with his time. He had a much better life than his parents.

The rest of your questions make assumptions that simply aren't relevant. You have a very limited view of how one can build wealth.
Except you can predict someone's life chances pretty accurately by location, and that location is a pretty good indicator of race.

> refuse to display content until they get a network connection to updatw

If they refuse to run built-in apps (like netflix/hulu/etc), I can see that, makes sense. But if you dont use those TV apps anyway and just get all content on TV through Chromecast/AppleTV, that refusal doesn't matter at all.

> Imagine if the government treated it like an anti-smoking campaign

Smoking is binary: you know if you are smoking or not, and other's do too. An 'abusive relationship' is not binary, and is laden with evaluative meaning, subjective, contextual, differing from culture to culture.

Perhaps most importantly such terms are subject to concept creep due to prevalence changes in society. This is not something people put much consideration in to, but the trade-off in educating people (a good thing) is the slow pathologising of every aspect of healthy human relationships. Which, incidentally, is what this article is about.
I don't think I said anything about hardware or whether FSD will ever be delivered in the lifetime of the current fleet.

Myself, I am skeptical of Elon's timelines. But I also understand they are not his promises, they are just his (foolish, imho) expectations.

He admitted he vastly underestimated the problem… but what he might not admit is continuing to do so. I think he continues to underestimate it.

On the other hand, the power of compounded returns of improvements over time is counterintuitive, and he probably understands that better than most of us. Maybe he used that understanding to get overconfident, or maybe it's still beyond reach. We really don't know. It's still possible that at some point, his team might just crack it. Not just with vision, though. They will need a world model for things like predicting the behavior of a group of children occluded by a bus near a crosswalk.

The money back thing is another question. I hope Tesla offers money back to ease the experience of those who are bitter, but I probably won't take it back myself, because I don't mind supporting the effort even though it seems like the results are far away. I don't think money back was an option previously. As a matter of company survival (which in Elon's mind equates to humanity's survival, take it or leave it, but suffice it to say he doesn't treat it as a normal throwaway company) Tesla just didn't have the money. Now, they probably do.
