Their context wasn’t about IBM buying BASIC, it was about IBM buying DOS from Microsoft. Plus given IBM was a global brand it seems a bit self-congratulatory to argue that only US-developed BASICs count anyway. However even taking your comment at face value, it’s still not true. There were plenty of better US-developed BASICs too.

What IBM wanted was ubiquity rather than technical excellence.

That's what Filecoin is attempting to do. That's the wheat that you declared to be nonexistent, on the basis of arbitrarily deeming speculation on cryptocurrencies to be bad while ignoring the rampant speculation on "real money" (see also: the very existence of forex markets).
Durp, you are correct. No idea how it ended up that way.
This period has been very special because of the 401k, which is itself part of the growth story of the corporate legal structure. I think this is coming to an end. Corporate boards and officers no longer represent the best long-term interests of the companies and shareholders they represent. It’s also a very precarious legal status as an arbitrary judicial ruling can make or break a company. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the corporate bubble is based on arbitrary tax codes that both advantage corporations and push worker savings into the stock market.

Even if these conditions continue unabated, the cash flows from working class into the stock market will eventually hit equilibrium with capital extraction from the owner class. If the extractions return to the same markets, then things stay in equilibrium. They won’t, however, because the tax advantaged assets are different for them. They may seek hyper-volatility, or government bond shelters, but will generally avoid the assets on the working class tax treadmill.

There are fundamentals to financial assets that have nothing to do with “number go up”, and these will ultimately dictate reality, with the caveat that “the markets will remain irrational longer than you will remain solvent”. Rationals get wrecked too, except every once in a while when one gets lucky on their timing and makes so much money that they become a hero and we make movies about them. We cheer because it gives us hope that our intuition will serve us too. Unlikely.

This is all to say that such charts are using an inductive hypothesis to predict an inherently anti-inductive phenomenon.

The Sam Altman article and the Helion web site have some major red flags, but this[1] item from the FAQ in particular jumped out at me:

> Where is Helion going to get helium-3?

> Helion produces helium-3 by fusing deuterium in its plasma accelerator utilizing a patented high-efficiency closed-fuel cycle.

That sounds like it might be relevant for the overall efficiency of the system. Are there any outside fusion experts who can comment on the legitimacy of this company and their process?

[1] https://www.helionenergy.com/faq/
I have a friend who did their dissertation particle physics at a fusion lab, modeling Alcator c-mod tokamaks, and was reached out to by Helion for a R&D position.

The general consensus among him and his peers is that the hardest challenge to overcome is the energy capture. As interesting as it is, it's not efficient enough to be useful yet.

The company is by no means snake-oil, but there's a reason the energy-capture part of the video is a bit vague.

Take all that with a grain of salt.
Unfortunately, the primary value of law school is signaling, but it’s a big one. You could skip law school in California and take the Baby Bar and become a “real lawyer” in the sense you could legally do everything any other lawyer can do. But even ordinary people (much less corporations) rely on law school pedigree as a signal for competence and quality.

E.g. in the recent leaked conversation between Macron and Putin: https://nypost.com/2022/07/06/leaked-call-reveals-fiery-exch...

> Putin quickly turned the conversation to “our dear colleague Mr. Zelensky,” accusing the Ukrainian president of “lying” to Macron about his intention to implement the Minsk Accords, which had sought to end the war in the Donbas region.

> Putin then took issue with Zelensky’s apparent refusal to negotiate with pro-Kremlin Ukrainian separatists, which infuriated the French president and prompted him to exclaim in audible frustration: “I don’t know where your lawyer learned law!”
Exactly how I do it. There's no easier way to clean lenses.
> Where, pray tell, does the fulfillment center receive them from? Shipping happens regardless (I know my local hardware store doesn't make vacuum cleaners)

Yes, exactly -- the shipping happens regardless. It's certainly more efficient to ship 20 of each widget to a store than it is to ship 20 widgets to 20 homes, though. But then people have to get to the store to buy those widgets, and often they will drive to get there (not everything is going to be available within walking distance).

> but the waste of individual boxes [...] is obscene.

Yes, this is bad. Personally I try to mitigate this by batching my purchases so more things arrive per box (admittedly, sometimes I don't do this), but some shippers will still break up a single order into multiple boxes spread over several days, which sucks. I do occasionally end up with an item that's shipped directly in its own packaging (that is, no extra box around the item, and it arrives in the same box that I would have picked up off a store shelf), but this is pretty rare, and of course there are many items where this wouldn't work (and would be more wasteful, not less).

> But that doesn't make it right

I'm curious as to how you're defining "right" and "wrong" here, and it does feel like some of your argument is based on "this feels icky and anti-social", and not entirely on objectively-bad externalities. I think the transportation aspect of these deliveries is a bit overblown, as transportation has to happen regardless, and people driving to a store to buy things is probably not much better (and is sometimes worse) than a box truck or van stopping door-to-door to drop things off (walking to a store would be the ideal, but I suspect this wouldn't replace as much driving or online ordering as we'd expect, even in places where it's possible). The packaging waste is definitely a consideration, but I've seen this getting better over time, with more reusable/recyclable paper products being used, and less plastic. We still have a ways to go here, though. To be clear: I do agree with you that much of this is objectively worse than visiting a store to make the same purchase, but I think calling it "obscene" is an overreaction.
> We're talking about my front yard.

Yes, agreed! Your front yard is a private space, even though it is publicly visible. You have every right to afford as much public access to it as you please, but the mere fact that you're the one who has the right to make that decision means it is a private space.

This is one of the perennial tug-of-wars in the general principle "Your rights end where my nose begins."

If you're emitting pressure waves or reflecting radiation flux and it crosses into my property, am I allowed to record and analyze it? And both the law and morality basically say "kinda, maybe, I dunno, depends." To wit: it's generally considered gauche to take photographs of you doing harmless things in your backyard, but if you're building a meth lab back there, you can be certain a neighbor will take photos and submit them as evidence. But how do they know it's a meth lab without looking in the first place?

The rights and responsibilities around data storage and analysis are context-specific and complicated.

> Set a precedent, make him pay!

As someone unfamiliar, for what exactly? I've tried to keep up, but I've read many contradictory things.
The disadvantage is obviously that you need the stuff you learn in law school to pass the bar. If you can independently learn it then you can come out as a "real" lawyer. But it seems it's not all states you can just do the bar and be a lawyer, some do require law shool.

When you’re trying to make the argument that privacy is fundamentally important, you can strengthen your argument by respecting other people’s privacy.

> What this has led to in my experience is that when something goes wrong, instead of me working it out with the restaurant, I am left frustrated, hungry, and hung out to dry by three parties - the restaurant, the platform, and the contractor.

My experience with delivery services (mostly, but not exclusively, Postmates) is that they are usually very good at giving refunds (your experience clearly sucked, though!), which is nice (but I’m guessing not for the drivers, who may or may not be at fault), but that restaurants with their own delivery services have been more willing to send out the missing food on an expedited basis, which is often a better resolution (if I didn’t want the food more than the money, I wouldn’t have ordered in the first place.)

I’ve also noticed that wrong or missing food items are more common with third-party delivery services.

> refactors, performance improvements, etc, are almost never appropriately rewarded or prioritized

Another variant that I've seen: actual refinements and improvements just aren't simple enough to sell to management, or to new junior devs. So they'll be all excited about switching over to the next big framework that finally makes things fast and refreshing, for the first time ever! But the migration still has some bugs that haven't been worked out and some features that haven't been ported ... and a year later things are actually worse than where we started, so repeat with the next big framework that finally makes good software possible for the first time!
Forward slash as a modifier prefix was IBM's desire because it was what they used in Mainframe OSes at the time. A lot of MS-DOS things were for "compatibility" with IBM Mainframes at the time. Supposedly, Microsoft was lightly against the forward slash as command argument because they preferred Unix machines at that point as development mainframes and liked the POSIX defaults for forward slash as directory separator. (Which is why MS-DOS even from the early days of the file system often supported both for directory slash in first party commands, even if individual app argument parsers from third parties did not.)
I'm not trying to erode society down to nothingness. I dislike academic credentialism.

I just want there to be many paths to learning. Formal schooling. Apprenticeship. Private mentoring. Hell, you could probably get a series of YouTube channels (with a very low success rate) or something closer to a MOOC.

Obviously, you need to demonstrate you learned from those paths. And I wondered if the bar exam was sufficient to show that. So I asked someone who claimed to be a lawyer on the internet as I don't know how sufficient the bar is as a measure.
This was me, albeit not when I was 18 due to existential problems and shit living situation, so I was forced to get a job around 17/18, but that's a bit off topic for this. But it was me for most of my teens, and to an extent still is today.

Even after I found a job, I spent most of my free time online, and made lifelong friends; most of whom I've met many times in person. I even moved to London to be able to hang out more often in person.

Often, extreme escapism can be ways of coping. Either coping because the parents haven't taught their children any coping mechanisms, or because they have childhood trauma that they're not processing (either due to a still traumatic environment, often caused by parents).

Obviously, laziness exists, but contrary to popular opinion, I don't believe anyone who plays a lot of videogames is lazy because games often exert a lot of mental effort.

There's also the possibility of addiction, but addiction is often a maladaptive coping mechanisms that has roots in traumatic childhood and is often a symptom of Complex PTSD. Sorry for kinda making a circular argument.

So, anyway, my advice would be to—instead of forcing the child into stopping using the computer—get them into therapy. Therapists who deal with children of abusive narcissistic parents is my recommendation; narcissism in the family is incredibly insidious, especially to children. It's often impossible to spot from the outside due to the narcissists false self they present to the rest of the world.[0]

On a more positive note, spending so much time watching anime, "playing games", and hanging out in various creative online communities sparked my interest for software development. My care giver called it "playing video games" too, but I was actually writing my own visual roleplay software used by a few hundred people (not much I know, but it was a niche community and it felt as an achievement in my teens). Obviously, I played games too, but the point I'm trying to make is that maybe the parents can't even tell the difference, lol.

This is all from personal experience and it's very anecdotal, though.

The narcissistic family files websites is a morbid treasure trove on anyone who wants to educate themselves. If people are morbidly curious or this resonates with them, I also recommend checking out Dr Ramani's YouTube channel, as well as potentially checking out her healing programme. Additionally, look for a support group of you think you might have been exposed to narcissism in childhood. I'm also available to talk if you have no one else to talk to that "gets it" but I'm not an expert and I'm still struggling/recovering myself, so I can't give and sound advice, but I can at least offer compassion. It gets better; you just gotta believe in the process.
For what it's worth, that same neighbor could have called the cops to harass you after seeing you walking with their own eyeballs, or the ancient art of lying to the cops that they saw anything at all. The presence of the Ring in this story adds nothing to the risk scenario
Could this be viewed as a correction to something more realistic?
> Imagine you're a customer and you're faced with choosing to buy directly from the restaurant (for $24 a pizza) or order through DoorDash (for $16 a pizza).

It's worse than that. The pizza company appears on the web for delivery with a $16 pizza. They come in to the pizza place and get charged $24 and that's a customer negative experience. The pizza company adds delivery to their service and chases off Door Dash, and now it looks like they've raised prices by $8 (and meanwhile other pizza places in the area that are getting undercut with $16 pizzas from door dash means that the pizza company isn't getting business to be able to support the delivery drivers).

I asked them to point their front porch camera so that it doesn't record my front driveway

Ring also lets you set up privacy blocks on recorded footage, so you could ask them to black out your driveway.

I did that with the camera that shows my driveway, due to the curve of the driveway, it also shows part of the neighbor's house, so I blacked out their windows in the camera feed. I sent them a screenshot and asked if they wanted me to black out their entire yard, but they were fine with my video capturing any activity in their little used side yard.

This is the same reason I never use "portals" to book travel and airlines. It's even worse because I also don't get any loyalty points.

Of course this is different with my work travel portal run by Concur. I get to keep the points/miles and "non refundable" tickets are refundable when the airlines are trying to stay in the good graces of a company that books...a lot.. of money in travel.
None. If you live in a city that has enough stuff nearby or public transit sufficient to be considered "walkable" your housing costs are 2-3x higher than they would be otherwise and your taxes are probably higher as well. Far more than the cost of a car.
