I just don't get these comments.

It's perfectly reasonable to prefer KDE because you like Plasma or it has the functionality you need. It's a nice desktop environment with a lot of functionality so I can see why it appeals to many people. What I don't get is why so many people feel the need to diminish open source projects they don't even use.

What is your end goal with a comment like this? Are you just expressing your opinion so that no one forgets that many people do not like Gnome 3? Are you hoping to better understand why the Gnome community has a different development philosophy than the KDE community? Are you trying to convince someone of something?
> relocate for south west France

that itself is a huge turn off for many developers who don't speak French. You will face discrimination even if you speak fairly fluent level. Not to mention the insane income/corporate tax brackets.

Unless you operate directly with the French market, there is little to not reason to move there to do a startup or start a career there.

Many young French citizens have left it and they are not coming back. Brain drain is very real there.
Because they don’t have capacity for all of the population and also because public transportation is so terrible people prefer (or have) to endure congested traffic over it.

While not stated in the piece, it's not unlikely that there are other factors involved in the reduction of fertilizers. This is a wildly complex situation:

On the one hand, modern agriculture has learned that you can increase crop yields through the use of heavy fertilizers, which lead to decreased soil capabilities, which lead to increased pest issues which lead to increased use of pesticides which leads to... a truly vicious circle, one quite profitable for the likes of monsanto

On the other hand, there is an emerging technology which, in the long run, is not emerging at all, but much closer to a return to agriculture's roots - it's known as Regenerative Agriculture - sometimes referred to as "no-til" farming. The idea being that you, quite literally, improve soil's ability to capture and retain carbon - something you give up when you plow the soil - and, from there, you reduce the amount of water needed, improve soil health, and measurably improve crop yields. There's a strong movement in that direction, and several feature-length films. A brief intro is found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6m-XlPnqxI
I’d rather this be “stop saying that XYZ will go to the moon, guaranteed money” not discouraging actually good advice “don’t invest more you can lose”. The real grift is all the false hope masked as certainty…and I say this as someone is is pro Bitcoin

And also encourage “don’t invest more than your willing to put down and hood for 5yrs in case of a sudden downturn”

Usenet does not have the data needed to filter spam. A system of cryptographically signed follows and likes would.

A couple knee jerk reactions to the headline in here, but the article makes a compelling case that in that case, there needs to be a lot more restriction on how wildly speculative "investments" can be advertised. It's a "stop blaming the people misled by overwhelming advertising campaigns instead of the sharks" claim. Especially the "shouldn't have" past-tense.

Steph Curry telling people FTX made it so they didn't have to be a crypto expert, for instance. But maybe inexperienced non-experts tossing money into a whole bunch of random tokens is NOT a great recipe for success...

A whole lot more time and money is spent on telling people you should put your money in this thing than is spent telling them to think twice, that there's no such thing as a free lunch, that promised double-digit rates of returns suggest it's not a safe investment, etc.

So either turn down the volume on the one, or turn up the volume either louder on the latter. I'd pick the former, though.

You're picking two extremes that make your argument sound very simple. But what do you think about teachers? Should we:

a) Forgive their student debt

b) Discourage non-wealthy people from becoming teachers

c) Force schools to pay them more

d) Pay them more via GoFundMe

e) Have less educated teachers

China didn't know they had a virus at all in November 2019. The 16th of December is the first documented hospitalization in Wuhan. A wastewater sample in Italy collected on 18th of December was later found to be positive. 23rd/24th of Dec was the first sample collection in Wuhan which was sent to be analyzed for a novel pathogen. 27th-30th of December is when the alarm bells started really going off in China. The first official messages and international alerts went out on Dec 30th and on Dec 31st Reuters published it's first report.

So the virus had been in Italy at least 2 days after the first hospitalization in Wuhan, and around 5 days before doctors collected the first samples which were sent off to labs which later determined it was a novel virus.

You actually can't blame China for not acting before they really had any patients or knew anything was going on.
it's perfectly legal
But...they shouldn't have invested more than they could afford to lose. This article gives no reasons why the author's thesis should be true, besides people being desperate.

> So “don’t invest more than you can afford to lose” is tough advice to swallow for the large group of people who are seeing the gleaming promises around crypto, but who also don’t _have_ money they can afford to lose.

So if they don't have money, then they shouldn't invest it in speculative investments like crypto.

> It’s apparently easy for people to castigate those who’ve just lost everything by repeating this refrain, in the same way it seems to be easy for people to only start pointing out the “obvious Ponzi” or “clear scam” projects only after everything crumbles.

No, people have been saying since the beginning that crypto is a scam, not after these scams happen. And even if it were after scams happening, there have been so many [0] that surely people would understand that future scams are likely.

Honestly, I have no sympathy for these people. If they want to be greedy and commit millions of dollars into these scams ([1] which the author hyperlinks to) then that's on them. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes, isn't that how the saying goes?

The US reached the point of being the only rich country where universal tax-funded healthcare is called “socialism”.
> The New York Times ran the headline, “They Made Millions on Luna, Solana and Polygon: Crypto’s Boom Beyond Bitcoin”, describing the “newly wealthy” crypto speculators.2 “Young investors are abandoning stocks for crypto — and making millions”, said the New York Post.3 CNBC profiled a woman who “went from living paycheck to paycheck to making over $109,000 selling NFTs”.

And so the narrative of such news is also further boosted and manipulated by the media, poisoning the psychology of tons of retail investors. It would be better that these media organisations do not add any oxygen to these 'too good to be true' schemes and survivorship bias of a few winners just for retail investors to click their ads, as they attempt to get as many suckers FOMOing into schemes like Celsius, Stablegains, etc in the first place. The media, influencers, etc are all partly to blame for spreading this as well.

It also isn't exclusive to crypto. It is also no different to the SPAC craze of many failed SPACs going under, high risk options on penny stocks and other highly speculative stocks that retail investors were sucked in by the mania and dumped upon recently. There is no change in what happened of these pump and dumps and the mania of Jan 2021 other than more people losing their whole investment.

Yes. All of it needs to go under strict regulations. Include that for Stocks (SPACs), Crypto and Options as well.

I think this is similar to the difference between a heat pump and a heater. Normally to dehumidify we strip the humidity out of the air and turn it into water, but all the embedded energy in the water vapor needs to go somewhere and it ends up heating up the house. Here instead they have a device that on net pumps humid air out of a structure. It doesn’t try to pull it all out of the air, just to move it from one bit of air to another so it doesn’t have to pay the full price of removing it

Very harmful to the utility of the entire phone system.

It's still the wild west today, like pre-gmail email. The private sector mostly solved email spam more than 20 years ago. The fact that phone spam is still happening means something isn't working right in telco land.

And no, I don't want to pay a [super offensive] recurring extra monthly fee to the duopoly mafia that is AT&T and Verizon in order to stop or "fight" the spam calls. The duopolists are already receiving a substantial amount of money every month from each subscriber!

The current state of affairs is upsetting.

Worth the read just for the context around "A much larger problem with RFID than its satanic origins remains the cost of tags" alone.

I remember ads from IBM about 20 years ago where a guy walks out of a store with several items looking all shopliftery but cuts to an IBM-logo'd terminal where magic EAS tags have charged his credit card automatically.

I like a cocktail. I like a glass or two of wine. I like to make my own liquor using recipes that my grandparents have treasured and passed down.

I don't like to get drunk and I stay away from drunk people. The last time I got drunk was 20 years ago. I threw up an awful lot.

But I understand the feelings of many people who are sober or curious about being sober. If one had the misfortune to grow up in families in which people started drinking at 8 a.m. and finished at midnight, it is easy to see alcohol as detrimental to one's life, associated with violence and despair, ultimately evil.
Anti-alcohol proselytism makes me a little uncomfortable, though, because it seems that people with little control over themselves--through no fault of their own, probably--want others to stop engaging in activities that they find enjoyable, enriching, and well blended into their happy lives. Drunks do not pay attention to that noise.

Fortunately, I did not grow up in such environments and tend not to associate with people who like to obliterate their self-awareness.
And tonight I will definitely have a glass of wine with a rib-eye steak.

Transit is far moreso.

Noone is going to ride two disconnected bus services that run four times a day and require walking 30 minutes in between.

Add a connection and make them all run every 30 minutes and suddenly it's viable.

Add a metro with right of way that runs every 5 minutes and has 5 minute walk or 2 minute walk + bus coverage to the entire city and why would you spend money on a car?

The appeal process could be another AI. It's concerning how close you are to suggesting we "be nice" to the robots who wrongly ban us in the first place.
To number 2, we all pay for it one way or another and if it exists or not. IE, without good public transit, subsidized or not, we sit in auto gridlock and/or “overspend” on auto infrastructure. People have to get around and we (USA) currently spend and build on some of the least efficient transport (individual auto for almost all transit needs).
Everlasting glory to JeanHeyd Meneide, @thephantomderp, for getting this feature into C.

still not sold here. your analogy is misconstrued because those separate roles cannot be performed by one person in the first place whereas AWS is simply a matter of reading the documentation and building a knowledge of its architecture which compromises of many interconnected products. This is just how lot of enterprises function and AWS reflects this.

If you are starting out in AWS and you are overwhelmed its understandable but the if barrier to entry to Vercel is much lower you are not going to be differentiating yourself in the job market either.

The cost savings in the long run of having good AWS knowledge is always going to shine over whatever short term cognitive lift perceived by inexperienced AWS devs.

I would actually put Vercel in a lower tier of cloud practioners. For startups, that might be just what you need since there is a 99% chance you won't ever hit its unlimited tier limits (hyperbole).
Nothing to see here, folks. All big tech companies have similar nonsense, "objective" performance review processes.

I wouldn't say it's a "usual" thing at all, but more common the lower your level. L4 or SDE 1 has highest risk for negative personnel actions in general for 2 reasons: there are a ton of people in this level and many of them are early career and don't know how to protect themselves from corporate politics.
It needs to make money, or break even at least, because it's expensive as hell. Specially since I'm a modal rent and I don't live in Madrid or Barcelona, so hardly able to benefit from this. I can't say I'm very happy subsidizing this operation.

Maybe I'll pay some visit to a city nearby, but I have to be quick since everything which is not HSR has a target in the back for the public operator.
All of the above is true for roads, yet governments mostly don’t charge for roads.

Another former amazon manager here, I can confirm this. The rule of thumb was %6 URA target and a somewhat larger number into Focus.

I never saw any written documentation about the URA goal, HR probably wants to avoid creating a leakable paper trail. It always came down verbally from my L8. I heard rumors that Amazon's HR boss Galetti is the big advocate of the URA goal, but I was nowhere high enough to be part of those conversations.
It doesn’t consist of anything because of strict air quality standards started in the 60’s. N2O was in fact one of the constituents of smog, and while it might be one of the more fun ones, chemically/recreationally speaking, it’s not great for the atmosphere.
> So how many am I wrong by?

Doesn't matter at all because, as I pointed out, the whole approach is ridiculously wrong-headed. We know how much energy we actually need, and it has nothing to do with how much is in the ground and how it got there.

> wind power takes up surface area too.

However, that can even be the same surface area you've already put solar panels on.

> The amount of energy you can get on earth from any source besides nuclear, fossil fuels and geothermal is hard capped by the surface area of the earths apparent disk and the inverse square law

This is correct. But the cap is at about 26000 TW (see https://medium.com/earth-47/how-much-energy-does-the-earth-r...) and the amount we need is about 300 TW, so if we manage to capture only about 0.12% of the available energy, all our needs are already met.

> and necessarily requires environmental destruction.

Sure. But not even remotely close to the degree you're claiming.
I agree with the author, empathy is sorely missing from a lot of arenas these days and explaining the situation really helps put things in perspective. Why did they take the risk? Well, they were in a tough spot. Confronting them with hostile tones or name-calling is going to shut off more from the warnings.

I'd rather young people learn about scams young than fall to a get-rich-quick scheme when they have a family to support or are about to retire.

The reason old people call all get-rich-quick schemes 'scams' is that many have already been through these episodes.
Sorry, but Electron is amazing if the alternative is "nothing". Same for game-specific editors. Some companies can't do it, so in this case Unity/Unreal editors are indeed better. And some engines also don't have the manpower to do engine-specific editors, so if something already existed it would be by definition better to the world.

And I completely disagree about JetBrains products being more integrated. Some integrations are MUCH better and deeper in VSCode. To give three recent examples I came across: Vue, React and Svelte. WebStorm doesn't even have some features offered by VSCode, like typechecking in templates. Not to mention that, at least to me, VSCode is significantly lighter than WebStorm and runs much faster in older laptops.

VSCode is also significantly faster and much much lighter than the ultra-integrated and native Visual Studio, so there's also that. I know because I use both, and I know which one locks up all the time and takes 40GB of disk. Seems like they just didn't use the optimisation opportunities.

Either way, this discussion doesn't seem to be going anywhere. There's doesn't seem to be anything for us to learn here. I'm addressing every new single point you make, while you keep moving the goalposts by cherry-picking my posts while ignoring the parts I cover :/

We started this discussion by saying "it would be awesome if X existed" to which you said "100% disagree". Sounds like you don't want me to have some tools, or maybe you're under the assumption that my desire is for Unity/Unreal/Godot to stop existing, which is definitely not the case.
I’m skeptical. I feel after agencies declare global health emergencies such as for COVID, they become more willing to declare another one for something not as severe. I see no cause for alarm until I actually hear of local cases.
>So “don’t invest more than you can afford to lose” is tough advice to swallow for the large group of people who are seeing the gleaming promises around crypto, but who also don’t have money they can afford to lose.

If they don't "have money they can afford to lose", then there are no "gleaming promises" for them. At best there are lures...

Though I'm down with the idea that it's partly fault of those advertising this as a surefire profit, and preying on the desparate and/or financially illiterate...
