To me, this question has been answered long ago by the book The mystery of Capital (2000) by Hernando de Soto.

The conclusion is, that the administrative and judicial system needs to work for the poor, too; and there needs to be a process that is somewhat practical to go from black/ gray economy to fully legal status.

He and team did historical research how that process was very similar in all countries now rich; and showed by experiment that same process is a rich privilege, or extremely costly and inefficient for everyone else (often due to hesitation to overturn nominal property rights in conflict with factual reality). The experimental study was done in a number of countries in the so called developing world, Egypt, Peru, Malaysia among them iirc, covering quite distinct cultural backgrounds, and consisted in following real life cases (over many years).
But the inverse of that is a bit ridiculous: don’t automate the things so you can create busy work for more people. It sounds even more ridiculous if you phrase it as make and keep people alive just to do busy (fake) work.
> Julia absolutely shines there

Do you have evidence for that?

I'm a mathematician at a research university, and maybe two of my colleagues are using Julia. Despite their proselytism, everyone else is using Python, C, or math-specific software such as GAP, Matlab, or Mathematica.
I hadn't really thought about it before, but I believe North Korea has an 840 mile border with China, which is not hostile to them.

So I don't understand how sanctions by other more distant countries could meaningfully affect them if China did not choose to acquiesce.

Either China is oppressing them, or it's an internal problem.

> This article's message is effectively "you kids get off my lawn - and stop being kids, too!"

I'm not reading that at all. My reading of the article is: "Being an adult sucks." It doesn't really talk about kids at all, and if anything seems like a defense of youth being 'stuck in prolonged adolescence'. The important paragraph (imo):

> For many, adulthood means trading a life entirely devoted to learning for one in which you only read (maybe) two books a year. It means swapping a full schedule of sports, clubs, and music lessons for having exactly zero hobbies (unless watching Netflix counts). It means going from hanging out with peers for the bulk of each day to (maybe) seeing friends a few hours a month. It means shifting from experiencing plenty of firsts to being stuck in a hamster wheel of thousandths.
I actually get along with them these days, looking at other relationships they've had change over the years however, it seems that distance should be maintained to maintain a good relationship.
I don't think this is a reasonable fear. It's reasonable to be on guard for some sensitive memorization, but it's not reasonable to fear that a language model will be able to reliably produce information on any given individual. For every person with enough of an online presence to have actually been memorized by GPT-3 or its successors, there are many more that GPT-3 will just produce good-looking nonsense for. It's not possible to distinguish between the two, so creepy surveillance capitalist firms will do better by developing their own specialized models (as they're already doing).
Capital always flows to regions where it's not subjected to high taxation and where it's reasonably safe from political turmoil. And without plenty of capital, the only way developing nations can get rich is by exploiting resources or using forced labour.

Far, far from reality. Amazon retail can be very profitable - the amount of data, arbitrage, and scale is just unmatched by any other company.
Banking is kinda special industry that if it goes down entire economy goes down. On other hand many other sectors have same position, but they can be nationalized.

Closest thing is probably bailing out auto-industry, but I don't think there is appetite to do same with crypto as it really doesn't employ directly or indirectly enough people to matter.

I would refrain from calling someones idea sociopathic, when left unelaborated.
I've theorized myself with the idea of having only people that pay taxes vote, or rather, having representational democracy an opt-in system via taxation.
Currently there is no way to opt out of taxes, and the things you get in return are rather slim privileges and benefits.

I only have a shallow understanding of the form of democracy that the US employs, but what impression I have of it, is that representational democracy is just a facade when big corporations have the budget to push their agendas via lobbying.

When I think of people championing for the unprivileged, I can only think of the civil society (NGOs) as having a direct effect. If the world had in place something more akin to liquid democracy, I would have better trust in the system.
Do you think that currently democracy is working, when we can pull up recent examples, like a few select people having the power to make abortion illegal?
Well there needs to be some kind of sea change, and my comment was just proposing some kind of workable solution to what I see in the employment market where employers have degree requirements.

most people are entering university for vocational reasons, not academic achievement. The vast majority of students are students for the sole purpose of career placement, no other reason.

The push by universities to extract as much (often tax payer funded) money pushing academic achievement, while ignoring the societal goal / desire of vocational education seems to if not the core, pretty close to the core of the problem we face with on this topic.

The idea of experience based degree's would start the shift that IMO is needed back to vocational studies and away from academic achievement
I have. Or at least closer to it than you seem to have seen. The way it works is to do the talented artisan / engineer thing within small teams, and the managerial / communication focused thing across those teams. The really hard part is drawing and maintaining the right lines between teams, within which each team can work independently.
You might be wondering, “Why can’t you do this over Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, etc.?” There are two reasons.

The first is it’s not feasible to send someone $0.05 as a thank you for their podcast episode due to transaction fees. The Bitcoin Lightning Network also brings final settlement nearly instantly. Over the Visa rails, it takes six weeks before you can be guaranteed not to have a chargeback. Using Value4Value, listeners and creators have a direct path to monetization.

The second reason is using Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, etc. assumes everyone in the world has access to a credit card and/or bank account. The reality is they don’t. Billions of people around the world don’t have access to a stable banking ecosystem or the Visa network. Podcasting 2.0’s Value4Value system brings a way to monetize your passion regardless of where you’re at in the world and regardless of if you can access a bank. All you need is a Lightning Wallet, and you can participate in commerce.

Someone at a party once said to me that the witchdoctors, sooth sayers and mystics who used to consult with the courts and kings of yore have not gone away, they just rebranded as economists.
I've repeatedly seen both high quality and low quality tooling act as massive force multipliers even for small teams; the question is just which direction you want to multiply. They say an army marches on its stomach—well, a tech effort marches on its tools. I interned at a trading company with, at the time, maybe 100 developers that built almost everything in-house and yet was quite a bit more successful and productive than much larger teams I've worked on since. The larger teams had incentives and structure to "focus" on what's "important" for very narrow notions of important... and so they ended up with lower-quality internal systems, a bunch of day-to-day drag on development and, both technically and organizationally, far less adaptability. (Turns out, one of the major advantages of investing in your own tools is that it builds up deep institutional knowledge about tooling that is hard-to-impossible to maintain otherwise.)

Only valuing easily-measurable work is, frankly, a modern organizational disease. It's like searching for the keys under the streetlight—and why? As a substitute for human judgement or resolving disagreements? As a way to make work more legible for executives? It leads to unforced errors and systemic problems, but we can't seem to do anything about it.

Banks will likely stop being bailed out if we move to central bank digital currencies. If the money can still be moved around and things settled, banks are very much less needed.
No typo according to the link. The 22 weeks with conditions is correct.
I doubt that crypto is really dead, just that tough times are coming. And fortune favors the bold, especially in a culture like that of the crypto community. I would guess that the leaders of these companies are making an educated guess that that forging ahead won't guarantee that they can survive the coming winter, but going to ground will guarantee non-survival.

I've heard that therapists are now taught to limit their use of "why [did|do] you..." questions to patients, because people are likely to instinctively take those as hostile or suspicious. Maybe these questions seem especially personal, and especially likely to bear a subtext of "it doesn't seem like you had a good reason".
I've noticed that there is a lack of quality miniature wood/acrylic working tools that are equiv to full sized versions. Specifically, I'm looking for a mini table saw, router table, etc suitable for something like 1/4 inch wood or acrylic and pieces about the size for making miniature buildings (for model railroading) or other small items.

Ideally I'd like to see a miniature Shop Smith multi tool.
Yeah, it's just not worth it, there are no real teachers, I doubt taking that class will land you a job anywhere.
I never understood the hand-waiving around multirepos. Parallel, distributed updates are extremely hard to get right in software, but, for some magical reason, not when checking in code across N separate repos with interdependencies.

There are rules in the world. I describe it this way: scatter a bunch of small magnets in a pizza box. Close the lid. Shake it (add energy). Open it. What do you see?

Why, the magnets all lined up in stacks! What divine hand must have been at work to create order out of chaos...

Particles, molecules, organic chemistry - thousands of rules. Add energy, and they do amazing things.

> I think it's possible to both acknowledge the devastation people are feeling while also thinking it's counter-productive to ONLY have that conversation.

Very good point -- I completely agree. From my place of privilege (again, not saying this about anyone else) I think I often considered emotion to be completely useless and to just set it aside. Thank you for the reminder that both emotion and logical thinking should be acknowledged.

> since most women are raped by men

One of the things that blows my mind about many pro-life arguments is how little responsibility is placed on men if they impregnate a woman. Women literally can't get pregnant without a man and yet the fixation surrounding abortion is on controlling the woman's body. And when this is acknowledged, it is accompanied by unreal ideas around stopping all rape completely. Idk, it seems to me like banning abortion is treating a symptom rather than the root of why unwanted pregnancies occur (i.e. lack of sex education, dysfunctional family/societal dynamics, etc.)
I keep telling myself: "He who worries, suffers twice". I can't remember who the quote is attributed to, but it's a helpful little phrase that reminds me that it's better to just suffer once and be done, or sometimes, not suffer at all.
You are all over this thread being racist and sexist. Not everyone here is white, or men, nor are all the people in the US.

Fortran, R and Matlab have 1 based arrays. That's pretty common with scientific computing languages. I'd hardly call those pariahs, and Fortran's older than C.
As a corollary, if you want to guess what kinds of speech they would target, it will be speech that in the aggregate costs them money: pro union speech, anti business speech especially about bad corporate behavior, speech urging actions against power structures, and to the extent that it causes a PR issue, certain kinds of hate speech, regarding groups that have enough people sympathetic to them to have it be a problem. Basically power only cares about speech that impacts power. That would be my guess.
One thing I noticed the other day on Reddit is some subreddits will now ban you by proxy. On my main account I subscribe to alot of subs. While I won't say which one, there was a controversial sub I left a comment on, the comment was benign, I think I was explaining some tech concept. Almost immediately though I got banned from ~20 subreddits, the wording was basically: "we see that you have participated in this sub, take down your comment or else you're banned here".

It really put a bad taste in my mouth, basically the mods saying: "you're only welcome here if you also agree with our political theory on stuff over there".

You have no expectation of privacy while being in public. Supreme Court ruled, that anything that a person knowingly exposes to the public, regardless of location, is not protected by the Fourth Amendment.

Same idea works for information. If you expose private information publicly online, it's unreasonable to expect it to remain private.

By creating this post he insured even less privacy. He attracted even more attention, guaranteeing his public "secret" is widely known.

What’s your point? Personal spiritual beliefs are bad because they encourage people to speak out in defense of potential life?

Having personal spiritual beliefs automatically qualifies you as, and lumps you in with every other, “unhinged religious nut bag,” no matter what you’re trying to do as a result of those beliefs?
Also just because there is a law doesn't mean there are consequences codified, and this is most true regarding states laws that “require” an LLC registered in their state. Remember that states are in competition for business, there are hurdles for them to do annoying things. The best example I’ve seen in one state is that a local LLC branch is required after your foreign LLC gets sued, and the limited liability is active and retroactively applied at that point in time. But hey maybe your anonymous LLC deters people from suing to begin with.

(This is different than there being a law codified and not being enforced)

Microservices, monorepos, monoliths etc are all outcomes of applying different tradeoffs to the 4+1 Views of Architecture [1].

The development view need not be connected to the deployment view at all, so unnecessarily coupling them can lead to worse outcomes. On the other hand, having the ability to couple them initially _and decouple them again in future_ works wonders for scaling.

I am consistently amazed that people with opinions on software architecture do not seem to recognise this seminal paper on the topic, or have the ability to re-synthesise it into tactics.
