"I am an outsider on the topic, but wouldn't such a stark change of the political landscape as Brexit be a really valid reason to ask the question again?"

You could argue that, but, the nationalists never did. Instead they said the issue would be categorically resolved by the referendum for an entire generation. Perhaps if they were a bit smarter they'd have thought ahead and caveated their promises, but they wanted to create artificial pressure that they thought would help them.

Then they lost and it was immediately revealed that they were lying. It wasn't going to be a once-in-a-lifetime vote unless they won, in which case of course, they'd never let anyone vote on the topic ever again (if you believe they'd host a "let's rejoin the UK" referendum even in 50 years you don't know the SNP).

Brexit meanwhile is not actually a stark change in political landscape. It has barely affected the lives of most people. It's not at all clear why that should make a difference when there are so many other wedge issues the SNP could also use to claim now it's all different.

Really, if they wanted to ask the question again and win the best way would be to campaign for English voters to also be given the vote. Polls show a significant number of English voters would quite like to be rid of Scotland - whilst politicians really want to keep the union together, actual voters aren't so in love with it. Scotland sometimes gets perceived comes across as more trouble than it's worth: a left wing heavily subsidy dependent one-party statelet mired in corruption and with leadership that vigorously encourages anti-English racism.
Yeah, about that:

Generally yes, I agree with you. In this case though OP was doing nothing and in no way appeared to be motivated to investigate. A dr. is going to be better than nothing. With that said I specifically went to male hormone / TRT doctor because that is what I wanted after my own research.
Is it an exchange or more like a lead gen company? I thought coinbase's business model was to advertise heavily to get newbie crypto investors on their platform and then to charge wildly inflated commissions compared to other exchanges. Kind of like a Rocket mortgage for crypto. Unfortunately in that business model gross revenue directly tracks the price of bitcoin.

You put the bar wherever you want. A company can decide to set it lower than what you would expect or like, but it could still make business sense, e.g. if 99%+ of hires still perform well with this bar and the company would like to hire faster.

This is related to:

> and barely get anything done. Plus the quality of their work (generally speaking) is very low

That's a problem of the performance review process. If everybody considers that someone is not delivering, that could be for multiple reasons, and even with a very high hiring bar that could still happen, so you can't rely solely on interviews.

If you don't have a good performance review process, you'll end up with worse hiring because you can't measure the impact of your changes.

> I passed candidates that did not do well on coding, but I was convinced they had potential. Whereas I did not pass candidate that did very well on coding, but did not show any interest or passion at all.

Can you do that objectively? It's very easy to introduce bias if you try to evaluate whether candidates show passion.
Assuming you call exec, of course. To not call exec after vfork is not an option; one of the many ways the fork family of functions are fundamentally broken.
You can pull off attacks like this from JavaScript by repeatedly recording the time and training a machine learning model on traces of instruction throughput over time, which my group did in a recent paper: https://jackcook.github.io/bigger-fish/
You set the table to abolish the notion of property. It's hard to extrapolate what effects that would have on modern societies... it hasn't really been tried. I'm not saying it's an inherently bad idea, but the proponents of that kind of idea always seem to paint rosy visions based on extrapolations from inappropriate samples.

Maybe you can say you don't have to fully abolish property. But it remains especially hard to predict what second order behaviors any particular implementation would bring about, and what steady state would result from them.

Per your example, if the expected ruling of society would be that gp doesn't get to keep the rock because they don't "care" about it... well, maybe people in their position would suddenly find themselves caring about the rock very greatly. Not even cynically -- if the choice presented to you is "value or no value", the limbic system suddenly becomes very persuasive.

> there just doesn't seem to be any other reliable way for people in our generation to make a living

I suspect this may be exaggerated, in that there is still demand in other career paths, they just aren't as appealing for various reasons, e.g. manual/technical trades with reasonable pay but some physical labor involved or a long apprenticeship period

I do worry we might be flooding the field and siphoning talent from sectors that matter, even as the proportion of software jobs that don't really need to exist balloons

this seems like a recipe for a lot of disappointed people in need of retraining once we realize code can't eat the entire world, and in the meantime it feeds the bubble cycle, pointless or abusive "innovation", and speculative nonsense software is plagued by
Not 99% good. It's like Kim Jong Il winning 100% votes because he is that popular!

The police and prosecutors must essentially be judges before the real judges who simply rubber stamp. Any lawyer would tell you a jury trial (if they have those) is 50/50 conviction rate and judges being human will have some error rate like there is a stat about judges in general convicting people more before lunch or at the end of the day when they are tired. You can't be that good consistently without something being done wrong, not with multiple human decision layers.
You're getting downvoted by Americans with big fat paychecks in the Bay Area and other coastal cities on the energy self-sufficient North American content.

You could argue the same for the likes of Philip Morris or the Sackler families business. Just that people are very willing to buy a product doesn’t imply that it’s good. So I wouldn’t raise the fact that folks buying Amazon or Tesla products as a pointer that their products are any good perse.

> Ok, I'll admit it, billionaires should not exist at all, there should be a heavy wealth tax that makes it hard to become a billionaire. Will a CEO work less hard if he (and his peers) can only ever gain $100M in net worth before a wealth tax on assets kicks in?

In my experience from having known a couple of mega-rich CEOs, yes. Even those who are not principally driven by the money or three-commas social signaling, they still want to leverage their accumulated assets into changing the world in some way. Take that away from them and they lose motivation, yes.
> There are plenty of people in the world who would think that anything over $500/month is way more than enough for one person. Should your compensation be reduced to that amount?

This is rhetoric that tries to confuse two totally different scenarios in order to convince the majority to oppose something that only hurts a tiny minority. Saying "one person should not have 5 generations worth of wealth" is not the same thing as saying "people should not make a middle class salary". They aren't even similar. If there was any place on earth where $1,000,000,000 was comparable to $500/month in any way, you might have a point.

> Does someone earning more than you hurt you?

Yes. Without a doubt. Wealth is freely convertible to and from political power, so outsized wealth translates into outsized political/lawmaking power, which affects us all.

Let's make an extreme example if you don't believe me: Should sextillionaires exist? Do you think that maybe, just maybe, someone having $1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 might have a negative effect on other people's lives?

> Also… do billionaires employ people?

Some do, some don't. Some non-billionaires employ people, some don't. Employment was around long before billionaires. It's not a requirement.

To me, wealth should be like the speed of light. There should be a limit, and it should be increasingly harder and harder to approach (but never achieve) that limit as you get wealthier. Not sure how you'd actually implement such a Lorentzian economic speed limit, but it seems fair to me. Make the limit high enough where at 99% of it, you can have your needs and your family's needs fully met in the most expensive neighborhood on earth, or whatever.
So this can be used on so called ‘airgapped’ devices, but what if you house the machine in a giant Faraday cage to prevent this? Maybe a little paranoid, but if your threat model requires it, then surely Faraday cages would make sense no?

This is such an intelligent move, and one I've been secretly hoping Apple would make: get the streaming rights to a league that's "up and coming" and very popular with a younger demographic for what I assume is a bargain compared to most other top leagues.

The best solution for this is years of weaning the soil off of chemical inputs towards a no-till, cover crop, managed grazing solution. It takes a few years of regrowing the soil before it can start to output as much as a synthetically fertilized field.
If you consider that the US has been 'at war' with Russia since 1945, then the conflict in the Ukraine is one battle, not a war, and winning battles but losing the war is how the USSR disintegrated in the first place.

More of that was luck than the State Dept will ever admit, but here we are, and I'll be damned if I know where we are 'going'.

It's important to note the money drip from Afghanistan has been cut off, with manufacturers looking for more ways to drain tax money away from domestic projects and into the war machine, a status quo since at least Vietnam.
To be honest I don't find splitting hairs about hacking vs. playing interesting. The OP specifically wrote that without restrictions Nethack is solved. In truth it isn't because the bot in their article has to know the RNG seed to ascend. Without knowledge of the RNG seed the bot can't ascend. So it's not removing restrictions that helps the bot ascend but giving it an advantage by revenging the RNG seed.
I mean, you have to justify being stuck somehow. While GitLab is certainly not an average Rails project technical debt-wise (I'm a tiny-time contributor to GitLab and my experience was quite amazing), but it's still Rails & Ruby all the way down there which could get you going only so much. You still have to write shitloads of tests, most of which are doing a sum-types-able programming language compiler's job over and over again. One day you realize this and that's the day Ruby is dead for you because there's no chance in hell you can persuade your peers to use measly dry-rb (dry-rb maintainers — no offense, I'm admiring your stellar work), not to mention moving to F#/Ocaml/Haskell/Rust.

We do a couple off days now and then, but not a lot because he feels like it's a wasted day because he can't focus on anything he really wants to. I suggested that he could take weekends off the stimulant, but he says he'd rather be able to operate mostly every day than to have a more focused week and completely wasted weekend, and I feel like he's capable of making that decision for himself.

I'm sure they have a small household staff, maybe security, yacht staff, private pilots, so maybe in the small hundreds.

But Tesla employees a 100,000 people, SpaceX employes 10,000 - both of those companies would exist regardless of Elon Musk's personal wealth. In fact, having so much wealth in one person is a liability to the company -- Musk can singlehandedly tank Tesla's stock.
