OSHA... I have never once seen, nor heard of anyone who has seen, someone who works for OSHA.

I'm starting to think they aren't real... everyone is so sure that "OSHA won't like [that which is about to be attempted]" and it hasn't ever stopped anyone from doing profoundly stupid stuff, except for new guys. Still, I've never seen them, been alerted to their presence, or met anyone who has (I've been asking for 20+ years.)

obviously they are real, but they are in no way the ever-present threat they are made out to be.
>Russia doesn't matter any more.

So irrelevant that you have to pump billions of dollars into similar country forcing them to fight to death, flood EU with arms, raise food prices world wide and the senile demented "leader of free world" has no idea what's going on inspite of break neck inflation and guaranteed recession
Do you not live in the USA? It's not as bad as is portrayed. I have lived in other countries with superior quality of life but every place has its tradeoffs.

Transport is quite safe -- federal regulation of road construction, air traffic control etc is quite good. Food and drug safety (though I could write a book full of complaints) is quite high -- you can't imagine what it looked like before the pure food and drug act and all the work that's happened. Food stamps and welfare get paid out, and despite rhetoric otherwise, will continue to be indefinitely. Yes, farm subsidies are a rat's nest of petty corruption but that's a thermodynamic loss in exchange for which there hasn't been a famine in the US in almost a century; and widespread malnutrition, which was true when I was born was solved before I came to the States. NASA has made some amazing satellites; NASA, NOAA USGS, NIST etc generate and publish enormous amounts of earth and other data. DOE means the military doesn't control the nuke tech, and is why we were able to stop doing physical nuke tests; despite visible homelessness HUD has ensured a roof over the heads of people who in living memory would have not had access to one. The court system is generally non-corrupt and by international standards quite fast and effective. OSHA saves lives. The fed is probably the best central bank in the world. I remember what the US looked like before the EPA was formed (by a republican government no less) and all the consumer product safety rules the dept of commerce has promulgated mean you can take much for granted when you go to the shops. Financial regulation means nobody remembers a run on the banks or all the "widows and orphans" fraud that was rampant a year ago. I believe it was just discussed on HN in the past couple of days how the US process for insuring and rolling up bad banks is unique in the world.

I could go on. People form governments for a reason and the fact is most of what we "hire" the government to is stuff we don't have expertise for ourselves (nukes? radio interference? Bank controls? road safety standards?) or for which it's simply easier to have a convention defined (speed limits). But since it works who bothers to pay attention?

This is the most popular move against action, to convince people it is hopeless. In fact, when the people want something strongly enough, it certainly happens. There is a long, well-established history of it.
Brex drops tens of thousands of small businesses as SV adjusts to new reality
Same, 442209 apples. set to -0.5% from the beginning till the end
What this game misses is the fact that deflation is fine as long as there's innovation. Making a better apple allows for asking for a higher price.

Inflation, on the other hand, forces to make cheaper apples people can still afford.

Your game is only half done.
I really like the FT. If someone is considering the WSJ, I’d highly recommend getting FT instead. I had access to both while working at a hedge fund and read them both all the time, but much preferred FT.
I wouldn't call it pointless. You can use Signal and essentially have your communications disappear. Technological tools being available make the legal solutions practical.

But I agree that the legal solution is certainly necessary and most essential.
Can SolidJS reason about collections of items being added and removed? My pseudo-reactive Qt apps do well with structs, but I often resort to recomputing the entire list of items when elements are added or removed (because QAbstractItemModel is hell to work with, and because my "move items" commands are not exposed to the GUI layer). Perhaps even diffing the item list would be faster than telling the GUI that all data was changed. (Though with <100 items, it really doesn't matter.)

I don't know how item lists are handled by GTK3, GTK4 (which is supposedly a lot better: https://blogs.gnome.org/antoniof/2022/06/15/the-tree-view-is...), Svelte, Solid, or the C# GUI frameworks.

It's a problem of classification. Imagine you have one of those machines with a red faucet with hot water and a blue faucet with cold water. Then you can classify water as hot or cold and be happy. Until you discover that the temperature of water can be in between. Anyway, if one of your coworkers are going to the machine, you can ask for a glass of cold/hot water and your coworker will understand. It's a useful classification.

Something similar happens with Australopithecus vs Homo. The discussion is easier because Australopithecus are dead. The latest Australopithecus were very similar to early Homos. The threshold is arbitrary, like the threshold between hot and cold water. (Apparently transitions of species are very fast, so it's difficult to find fossils of the intermediate steps. I'm not sure if this is confirmed.)

So if you take a time machine and go to see the transition, you will find some individuals that are difficult to classify. You will not be able to be sure which one is a Australopithecus and which one is a Homo. Perhaps ir you kill them and cut them in pieces, you can apply some arbitrary threshold like 537.2345 cm^3 of brain, but they will not be happy. Moreover, they will not be able to be sure which one of them is a Australopithecus and which one is a Homo, assuming you can explain the arbitrary threshold to them.

I guess it depends on how you build the phylogenetic trees at the individual level.

1) The fist Homo mated with a Australopithecus and some of the children were probably Australopithecus and some Homos. I guess two Homos can mate and have a children that is an Australopithecus. If you mark Homos with a magic invisible painting, they will be mixed with the community and be treated as a normal member of he community and mate with whoever they can. After a while, most will be Homos, but the few remainder Australopithecus will also be just normal members of the community and mate with whoever they can.

Note that in some parts Australopithecus lived for a longer time, until the Homos from other areas arrived. In the early year we probably ignored the difference and mated. Later when the difference were bigger we probably killed them or forced them to go away.

2) You go and find the first Homo, and define that all the offspring are Homo and it doesn't matter with who they mate. So the first one must mate with an Australopithecus and repeat that during a few generations until the they have cousins far enough to mate. Note that they will not realize the transition. It's just a different way to use the magic invisible painting, but they will interact exactly like in the other method.

It's only self-evident if you're American and remember your history.

Abraham Lincoln was shot at a play, his wife Mary Todd Lincoln was sitting next to him.

The implication is to say 'even though your husband and President of The United States was just shot next to you, how was the play otherwise'

Good! They can raise wages and give better benefits and treat workers better. It's really not that hard when you have billions of dollars laying around.
> How do you propose we restructure our economy so that everyone get a wage that supports a family of four?

At its crudest, the US GDP is $23T. Divided among 350M people that's about $66k, for every living American. The working age population is about 215M, so that would be about $107k per working age American (not per household, per working age individual).

There's no need for money creation, we just need to spread the wealth around more evenly.

And note, I'm not actually advocating precisely equal income for everyone, or even every working age person. I suspect that some range of incomes is probably a good thing for society overall, but I'm fairly sure that it doesn't need to be anything like it is today. The point is that redistribution is how we get there, not injecting money into the economy.

You might care to listen to someone who knows a lot more about this stuff than me. Thomas Piketty was on the Ezra Klein Show a couple of weeks ago, and talked about several "radical" schemes to alter the levels of inequality in western societies.

I give away 5% of my income. That's not enough to bring it down to median levels. My work is relatively charitable in some sense though: I develop libre audio software, and convince people to pay me for it anyway.

> Not great value

Depends on what your values are, I guess.
Right. Lowest-energy means that you can't pull energy out of a time crystal; there's no excess. Anything you try to attach to a time crystal will transfer energy into the crystal.

Practically all we can do with a time crystal is to measure it with the lightest possible touch and hope it doesn't break the periodicity. (So far, afaik, the periodicity has always been broken by the measurement process's energy input).

I don't know what we could do with large numbers of time crystals, though. One can't pick up a snowflake in one's bare hands and use it like a buzz saw to cut a sheet of paper (the snowflake melts on contact), but an avalanche of snowflakes can snap trees. Maybe for time crystals that rotate light a predictable amount at a given time t_x, we could create some sort of interesting lens from a large cloud of such time crystals arranged at different distances from a bright light source -- a sort of "anti-fog".
No kidding, my first EPR out of tech school had a bunch of 4s and when it came time to test for SSgt my combined points were so far off I just gave up and coasted until I got out. For the best though.

Enron didn't fall alone. Adelphia, Worldcom, Tyco, Arthur Anderson, ImClone, Global Crossing, Mirant, Qwest, and others...

There was a lot of fallout beyond Enron, either directly because of Enron's collapse or indirectly because all of a sudden people looked a little harder at corporate accounting in places where there had been strong scents of financial BS.

In short, if we're using Enron as a comparison point, we're talking about systemic shockwaves through two systems (power industry & corporate accounting)

No see I really want to press you on this, because I want to hear how a theoretical stance in support of violence against unarmed, peaceful protestors (Charlottesville) is equivalent to support of violence against violent armed people who more often than not are the ones initiating the violence.

One of those could maybe be called vigilantism. The other isn't, its terrorism.

It’s depressing how anti vax people never accept that doing things that might reduce the chance of serious infection, or might reduce the time they can spread it to more at risk people or possibly reduce the viral load is worth their consideration or inconvenience. Last time I checked, a college environment has a broad range of people of all ages, some of who are (far) more at risk.

So it goes. I hope the politicalization of covid does not reduce willingness to take vaccines in general. Or makes people ignore the next novel virus. Recall that before omicron showed up covid was far more serious. And, in the case of related viruses sars and mers the “healthy” age cohort did far worse than those most affected by covid due to cytokine storm.

Nature is what it is, and no amount of wishing will make it conform to somebody’s world view. I think it’s good and appropriate to look out for others who might not be doing as well as I am. I’m also quite interested in whatever biological hacks might keep me in the game.

I give you credit for working in this space and trying to create a more automated approach... I spent many years in the app performance world both as a consultant and working on products, so again - good on you.

For what it's worth, my immediate reaction is that you might work on different terminology in how you present what your product does. I get that you are trying to create a contrived example in order to demo the product and show value, and that can be a very difficult thing to do. That said, in my line of thinking, an HTTP 500 isn't actually the root cause, it's a symptom of the cause. The password being set incorrectly isn't the root cause either. The real root cause is something in the deployment pipeline, the configuration control, the change management, the architecture, etc, etc. that got us to this point.

I guess I'm struggling here a bit too because I think of how many times I would have been the manual version of this, where I would show information like this to a client's technical team, and I had to absolutely spoon feed them on how to remedy. I remember a team that was supposed to be crack guys from a vendor, an app team, etc who had been working on a problem for months that I fixed in a matter of hours because they just didn't understand what the line in the log meant. So it isn't clear to me how your product is actually creating better visibility + interpretation of the problem toward a solution.

In the ten or so years I did that kind of work, what really stood out to me was that the seemingly obvious tech issues were not obvious because of a lack of education / experience /training on the part of the client personnel, but more often than not the real problems were much much larger architectural issues way beyond just the message in the log. Those are much harder to both identify and correct, but products like yours and the ones you integrate with are almost just a band-aid on the problem.

So, take that for what it's worth - again, good work trying to improve the state of the art in this area.
Nuclear power was plenty dangerous in its first iterations and there was in fact too little precaution. Chernobyl and three mile Island really shouldn't have happened. Fukushima was much later in the game but was also bad design.

I think the tech is safer now but the nuclear industry really has itself to blame. It's no wonder anti-nuclear sentiments increased after each disaster.

With the other ones I agree more.

Your comparison makes absolutely zero sense…
https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/07/harvards-freshman-class-is-m...

"Harvard’s Class of 2022 is made up of over 36% legacy students, according to The Harvard Crimson. The year before, the share of the freshman class was just over 29%. (CNBC Make It has reached out to both The Crimson and Harvard’s admissions office to confirm these figures.)

As of 2015, legacies were five times more likely to get into the world-famous university than applicants without relatives who went to Harvard.

Stanford University gives legacies a significant advantage as well. “It used to be that every application would be read twice. Now, only one reading is guaranteed, although — thanks, Mom and Dad — every legacy application still gets two sets of eyes,” a 2013 Stanford Magazine article about the school’s admissions process reported."
Actually the research is fairly mixed as we’re dealing with N-variable systems of technology, communication, economics, and a non trivial amount of fraud.
> because their gold savings would appreciate each year in value

Relative value usually matters more than absolute value: if money is depreciating at 1% but you can invest in stocks for a 1% return then you would invest in stocks (ignoring risk). Google: alpha vs beta returns.

Risk/volatility and diversification also matter: putting all your wealth into a single asset class is probably a bad idea.

> bare minimum of apples needed for survival

Edit: People are not ideally rational spenders. Also depending on your age, you may value spending now more than saving for an uncertain future. At 70 your death probability hits 2% per annum[1], so saving 1% for next year might not make sense. At any age you may look at history and you might not trust that your money will useful next year (plenty of examples where stable governments have screwed the pooch).

Love the idea of encrypting and owning my own data. But here's my question. My encrypted data needs to be unencrypted and read by third parties eventually. What's to stop those third parties from just copying and saving my data, then selling it later to a data broker, who then goes out and resells it on an open or black market?

Can someone clarify use cases for these encrypted services? Otherwise, it seems a lot like when RIAA tried to stop users from distributing MP3s. Once the cat is outta the bag, can't really put it back in. Zeroes and ones are trivial to copy.

the problem is that as the outside gets colder, heat pumps get less efficient, so places that need the most heating benefit the least from heat pumps, and those are the places that use the most amount of energy for heat.

So yes, I agree, but heat pumps have cold weather limitations that mean they only benefit relatively warm climates.
Crime is much lower now, cars are much safer, and you have a cell phone. You can take photos of the license plate and driver and text them to a friend. Just think of that - people hitchhiked without cell phones; they were just on their own out there.

I think it says a lot about perception and reality. The reality is, it's probably much safer now than it was before, but people perceive more danger. It's the same with cities I've been in, which are idyllic if you just put down the social media and travel around, but people are bizarrely freaking out.

The quite new museum on Liberty Island (opened in 2019) is surprisingly interesting and well executed.

The decade-long campaign to raise money in both France and US was an impressive feat of crowdfunding. And the sculptor himself had terrific business acumen, selling tickets to tour his workshop and exhibiting full-scale parts of the statue in Paris to large crowds to keep up interest while it was still years away from completion.
