Likely true, but also likely won't matter since Musk has ignored the NLRB before. Until NLRB has real teeth it will be cheaper for companies to violate their policies and pay fines rather than allow workers to organize.

boredom is useful to a writer. a lot of my favorite writers have mentioned writing all first drafts with pen and paper. what happens in your brain when you're writing is important, even when it feels boring, slow, or repetitive. who has a better sense of where my attention should be, me or a tool? imo better writing is the product of practice, reading, and better thinking.
all of that to say, if you have a pre-publishing step where you need to check spelling, grammar, capitalization, punctuation, etc. a linter might fit in at that step. but i really don't think a tool is better than your own reading or giving it to an editor you trust.

The solution for that is not to sue Big Oil. It's to make it clear to our elected representatives that we want these subsidies to end, and vote them out of office if they don't do it.

My problem with Musk is who he is getting politically aligned with, for several very close reasons.
GDP has been growing fine, but life expectancy in the US has been in historic decline for the past decade, largely driven by alcoholism, drug overdose, and suicide. Meanwhile over 2 billion people worldwide are food insecure, and that number is rising.

Technology has certainly improved the standard of living of many many people over the last couple centuries, but there is no guarantee that it will continue to do so. Perhaps instead of a blind focus on “growing the pie”, at this point in history we should be asking ourselves “what pie?” and “did everyone get a slice?”

Edit: Updated “malnourished” to “food insecure”, my mistake for using the wrong terminology. According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, there were 2.37 billion food insecure people in 2020, a number which has been steadily rising since 2014 with a larger jump since the start of the pandemic: https://www.fao.org/3/cb4474en/online/cb4474en.html

Well you are absolutely right, what i mean is, we are to many peoples, seen from the point of a planet and not country's, just look at something big like oceans/fish, how many more people can we feed with that source without "drying" it out?

They didn't ban lead, they banned Tetraethyllead, an anti-knock compound used in gasoline.

>... if we'd outlawed the specific molecule/compound that would have opened the door to finding other technically-different ones that still included lead

I'm not sure what to make of that. The point of the ban was to keep lead out of the environment and people's blood levels which we did successfully. Lead isn't some sentient being looking to find it's way into our systems regardless of the actions of man.

Cowen is constantly giving the time of day to randos who are not remotely rich. He answers every non-spam email he gets. He runs a program that gives out small grants to nobodies who are just starting out their careers. He's probably the most pathologically available-for-interview economist alive today.

In the time it took you to write out this conspiracy theory, you could have done even a cursory Google search instead.
Natural language isn’t precise and a lot is inferred from context. Exact order does often not really matter.
In formal languages, however, you want to be as unambiguous and exact as possible, so it makes sense to use syntax and symbols to emphasize when elements differ in kind.

Incidentally, that’s also why we use syntax highlighting. One could, of course, use syntax highlighting instead of symbols to indicate the difference between function and arguments (between operation and operands), but that would interfere with the use of syntax highlighting for token categories (e.g. for literals of different types).
I don’t see where it’s relating “conservatives” to the name “nazis”, but if that’s what the author’s intent is, then that is shameful.

Calling conservatives a detestable name of a former global enemy doesn’t make it acceptable. Instead it’s encouraging blind “hate” AND violent crimes
I have a couple of hobbies or whatever you like to call them where it's a bit of a cliché that people mistake 'necessary and dispensable' for indispensable. There are activities that you need to have done, but as you grow you should not be doing them all the time. Maybe once in a while, just to keep the myelin warm, but not in public, unless you're mentoring someone at the time.

Some days I look around and wonder how many activities in software development are better off being embraced tightly and then bid a fond farewell, and instead we cargo cult them.

Edit to add: Not unlike having a childhood. Without a proper one you're a mess. But not letting it go makes you into a bigger mess.

You'd think they'd scrap the commercials and put the budget into improving working conditions if they really cared.

Honestly, I think you have a point. It would go back to what the reason was for termination. SpaceX has indicated that the terminated employee's actions went beyond simply writing the letter.

I do not take company statements like that at face value, as they have their own interests to protect. However, it does leave the possibility that termination was not related to statements about working conditions.

The former employees may have a case here.

I'd argue that we need to understand how progress got its current meaning, as something undisputedly good.

A few centuries ago it just meant movement along a path - e.g. The Pilgrim's Progress.
The bottom 50% own very little. Home ownership rates in the USA are like 65% and poorer people are less likely to own their homes.

So the answer is likely, a negligible amount. The increase in wealth among poorer people was most likely driven by stimulus money and a bit due to wage increases (which also favored the poor).
Good thing he shed the woke-cancer. Those clowns ruin entire companies and destroy morale for the whole team.
The US is not particularly innovative. Due to historical and geographic circumstances, it's in a unique position to attract foreign talent and foreign innovations and to monetize them.

It's a good environment for doing business. There is plenty of capital available, and the laws are usually reasonable. It's a large country that's sufficiently centralized that you don't have to localize everything for each state. And it's a stable environment that has mostly been isolated from the rest of the world and not touched by war in over 150 years.

As a drawback, the system really favors those who own over those who work. Even in places like the Silicon Valley, how much of the wealth goes to those who innovate and how much goes to those who fund the innovations? And how much goes to local property owners who just happened to be in the right place at the right time?

Americans don't study STEM as often as people in other developed countries, because they correctly see where the money is. There are many top STEM schools, but even they largely consist of foreign talent teaching foreign talent.

If the US went the way of Europe and stopped attracting foreign talent, I have no idea what would happen to tech innovation. The innovators and the innovations would still be there, but maybe there would not be as many people capable of taking advantage of the innovations.

The first time I saw a demo for Google Cloud Spanner I felt this way. All they did was pull up a massive dataset, and then start running queries on it, but from someone who had dealt with datasets of that size, it was just plain impressive.

Pretty much every answer here is a form of, "present a problem that no one thought was solvable, then show the solution you've already built".

If this worked, Boeing would have dangled millions in front of SpaceX employees and taken the lead.

SpaceX’s success is at least in part due to a culture of actually doing stuff. It’s difficult to create that culture, and the work to maintain it is done at the top.

Perhaps wokeness is incompatible with a culture of solving hard technical problems to the exclusion of all other concerns?
Maybe they stick around for only 4 years too.
It’s the same for Google, Microsoft and Facebook.

The same with Facebook.
I don't believe Elon ever stated Twitter has no right/freedom to ban (he does say a lot of bizarre things, and I don't follow too closely), but correct me if I'm wrong. Disagreeing with the Twitter policies is not the same as believing Twitter is not free to establish such policies.

I imagine that at capacity, they can just as efficient as larger jets (if not more efficient). There may be a sweet spot in terms of efficiency that can be achieved that is smaller than what we've got now. We've already seen jumbo jets fall out of favor, and e.g. this can be seen in the sales of the A380 and 787 (launched around the same big, with A380 going big, and 787 going efficient and mid-sized with about 10x the sales). I imagine that planes would get smaller still, but the reason they don't is that even with high oil prices, human costs still tend to dominate the cost of a flight (two pilots, cabin crew). It's not so hard to imagine that with more automation it will become viable to have much smaller, more frequent routes that are both more economically and environmentally efficient.

> since federal prosecution is blocked by law for state-legal use

Source for that? One would think the supremacy clause overrides any idea of state law.

> This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

Seems pretty cut and dry to me that if its federally illegal its still illegal within the states. The only question is if the federal government really cares to enforce the law in states where a large population of the state is openly breaking the federal laws.
Maybe I'm missing something blindingly obvious, but why is "trusting" a SAT solver necessary in the first place? The solution itself either satisfies the constraints or it does not. Are there situations where we can't even tell whether the solution is correct by looking at the problem instance?
If you're an employee at spacex and Musk uses internal communications to say something you don't like, you can leave spacex, which would be a consequence for musk's actions. So your point doesn't hold. He is not immune from the consequences of his speech in the exact same scenario.

A job is little more than a business relationship where a person agrees to do labor in exchange for money. Either side of that relationship has the ability to terminate that relationship as a consequence of speech they might not like.

> Abuse is OK because some people eventually figure out how to get away from it?

I take issue with calling it abuse, but yes -- it's a learning experience and a life lesson. I did it, I was disillusioned with school, quit and worked in manual labor, delivery, and restaurant jobs when I was young. Decided I didn't want to do that for life, so I went back to school and learned to program computers. Then I worked as a consultant, decided that was too many hours and too much time away from home, so I found another job that was better on those metrics. Decided I didn't like living in a huge metro area, so found another job in a small town.

Life isn't handed to you, and if it is, you don't appreciate what you have.
But this way you are promoting inequality. Being able to commit substantial amount of time to volunteer without remuneration is a domain of privileged people, usually from wealthy white background.

This is unhelpful reductionism to be honest. Yes, you can say the Mona Lisa is just a bunch of ink on a canvas, which is true at one level, or you can say the Mona Lisa actually really exists in every dust cloud, which is the same kind of reductionism in the opposite direction, one 'computational' one 'physical', but neither is helpful.

These are just 'language games' using Wittgenstein's phrase and they don't tell you anything about the world, the dust cloud is still a dust cloud regardless of whether you say it's a computational dust cloud. Wolfram seems to be on his way to invent his own, nerdier version of animism. He could have just smoked some pot and said "we're all like, one with nature bro.", or read Solaris.

His idea to interact with our environments in a way that isn't just physical is nice, but you don't need to reinvent tech jargon fueled Gaia theory for it. And as a philosophy it may be just trite, but as a scientific project it is deeply misguided and it's been his obsession with his 'new science' for a long time now. In reality it's not a new kind of project, it's a version of what the logical positivists called 'Unified Science', and it did not work out.
