Nothing to say about the piece except the author is trying to co-opt a super well known idiom into something that means nothing close to that idiom. I’m not sure whether to admire the audacity or laugh at the utter lack of awareness.

Yes the new world order is crypto contracts running things, oh wait we need to convene a council so humans can review potential threats before they are allowed to transact with the contract.
I'm doing just fine.

Go ahead and invest in companies with 0% growth and see how well you do with your retirement.

Yes, companies can have a positive 'book / enterprise' value that must be heavily discounted by all kinds of risks, and future 0% growth cash flows even much heavily discounted, in which case, theoretically, yes, there are a few companies around that might have giant pools of liquid assets that might be worth something ...

... but in general, companies that don't grow are worthless.

Owning a quickly evaporating pool of cash vs. one that is growing, compounds quickly over time.
I occasionally play video games to relax, either firing up a PC I only use for gaming or a console. Every single time I've done that lately, I've had to spend at least 10 minutes downloading and restarting to get some updates before I can even try and launch a game. Makes for a frustrating experience when the rare chance I have to have some fun feels like work.

Sometimes, some people fail down too, and it damages them. If you think that all failure is 'failing up,' I'd suggest you haven't really failed, and have just experienced setbacks.
>After relying on attrition to winnow its staff, Amazon now has about 100,000 fewer employees than in the previous quarter.

Only Amazon could normalize losing 100k people via attrition
And to think, people in the U.S are fuming about the Electoral College. Wait till they find out about QV.

Imagine getting involved in some shitcoin project where a guy with a hundredth of your investment has a tenth of your voting power
Two things about this article stand out to me:

1. Amazon is seemingly losing 100k employees in a quarter to attrition, and not via layoffs?

First Google result for "number of Amazon employees" turns up 1.6M globally, so that would be a 6% workforce reduction in a quarter? Is that normal, or does Amazon have particularly high churn? Amazon's scale is quite staggering.

2. There are a ton of tech companies either actively laying off or freezing hiring. More than half the article is just lists of tech companies reining in hiring. Yet, the overall unemployment rate is still quite low by historic standards. I wonder how much of the current / upcoming recession is going to be limited to tech vs. a broader decline, and to what extent the current hiring slowdowns persist over time.
Correct. It is due to the politics and incessant greed of human nature that our ecological problems are difficult to reverse.

From the politics POV, they must impose a limit on how much factories should produce, because ultimately the climate problem has been caused due to our exploitation of resources and their eventual disposal as waste.

Less production = less waste = better ecology

But if you remember what happened with the toilet papers during covid, I don't have to remind you what's going to happen when production of most goods is unanimously reduced.

There will be those who panic buy, and those who intentionally hoard, and a basic shortage of everything which I'm sure humanity in general is not willing to cope with for the sake of our environment. Hence, reversing the damage cannot be possible.

However, those who want to try, I wish you all the best in your endeavours.

Does that seem like a strong argument to you? Of course it's possible to make useless tests. It's possible to be injured by an airbag. It's possible to overdose on a drug that usually saves lives. That doesn't mean any of these things aren't generally beneficial, or that they should be foregone.

As I said recently on Twitter, I've measured the likely cost of production bugs that were fixed early by static analysis, by leaving log messages to mark where the bug would have occurred. I know that's not the same as regression tests, but if anything it's even more of a long shot, more of a hard sell to my fellow developers, and even in that case the value was strongly positive. About a half million 2005 dollars in that case, for less than a fifth of that in license costs and my own time. The ROI for regression tests is likely to be in the same ballpark.

The fact that something can be done poorly by lazy people is in no way an argument against trying to do it well, or even semi-competently, by people who take their profession seriously.
> They don’t want to see another monthly number chipping away at their bank balances month after month, year after year.

They don't?

My uneducated take?

- People won't buy anything full boat that they can buy monthly
- People prefer monthly payments
- People don't actually track their monthly payments, because generally people are bad at money stuff

It's not an accident that BNPL companies like Affirm and apparently Apple now are mooning right now

Personally? I really like software subscriptions. They are zero commitment, auto-updating, and usually a good value relative to the price. When I'm done with them, I stop paying. Easy.

Amazon Subscribe and Save is a perfect example. The items I get that I'd usually skip on getting until I absolutely had to (because work and life get in the way) come in bulk every three to six months when I need them. That's incredibly valuable for me.

Most of y'all who are for paying full boat are speaking from a privileged position where full boat isn't much. For a lot of people, Office 365 with Word, Excel and PowerPoint for $6.99/mo is a much more achieveable than the $99 for a single version with feature-toggled restrictions (and better than dealing with cracks).

Then again, I think that ownership in general is overrated, so I realize that I'm a contrarian on this
I found a few 1860s wedding certificates and a handwritten IOU from the same era in one of my grandfather’s reference books on stamp collecting.
I would recommend waking up at 5am and work on your side project until 9 am - this is what I did. A year and a half ago, I created a side project that I half finished and then abandoned after a month. After learning some lessons from this, a few months later I then created another side project, got some grant money for it, quit my day job, raised more money, and currently have 10 employees and millions in funding. Granted I wouldn't call the company or product a big success but it does pay the bills and gives me the freedom of not having a boss.

Side projects are definitely hard. You have to optimize and focus on all the right things to have any degree of success.

I would also think about the worst case scenario and best case for anything you do. Worst case, always make sure you learn a lot of lessons and skills. That way your time didn't go to waste if your project fails.

As you stated, you also have to care more about your side projects than other things (such as free time, being free of stress, or performing super well at your dayjob). There are a lot of sacrifices involved.
> Do you feel at all represented by your elected officials? Did you vote for them? If not, why would you accept the burden of guilt for their actions?

Personally it varies depending on the official. I think at some level we do bear some responsibility for those who represent us, I don't necessarily believe that crosses into guilt as much it does a call to action. The corrupt and unethical rely on a combination of apathy and normalisation in order to get away with their actions.

> Examples of productivity porn include but are not limited to: reading a tweet by a top VC about how to become a better startup founder; watching a Youtube video about the 7 mistakes you need to avoid at the gym; perusing a Hacker News thread about how to improve the code you write. All of these activities deceptively make you feel like you’ve done something productive. “I just learned something new”, you tell yourself.

Those examples from the article make sense but in my experience the biggest illusion of productivity happens right inside our day to day work routines, namely email and chat systems. People respond to endless email threads that in the end trigger no action, endless discussions on Slack channels with no decision making until eventually somebody calls a meeting. We type and type but in the end we waste our own attention and our coworker’s attention just to feel important and productive without doing anything useful most of the time.
This is where I think the OS "vendor" packaging application model (e.g. Linux distribution) is very nice. I periodically update everything, and don't really need to worry about each application.

There are a few exceptions (Discord sabotages it with mandatory updates, and I use Jetbrains-Toolbox's update mechanism) but for the most part it works out very well.
Rust can link to rustls instead of openssl, musl targets are very convenient (and can statically link musl), and https://crates.io/crates/trust-dns-resolver can be used instead of doing dns via libc

Because of such tooling / ecosystem, it's more convenient to use scratch from Rust than from most languages (including C)
I bought a new F-150, XL edition (lowest) in 2020 for 29k, just for reference. On the Ford site, it appears the new models at a similar trim level are about 31k. Most people don't buy the baseline "work truck," which is what mine is (4x2, 3.3L, 8ft bed, short cab), but they don't have to be 40k. Add 4x4 and any level of trim and you're there, though.
I'm not a scientist but I've been reading about climate change for some years now.

Maybe I'm missing something but here's my pedestrian view on it.

The thing that bugs me the most is the article almost completely ignores the role of feedbacks. This has been the classic IPCC position (which AFAIK they've rectified for their sixth assessment).

The article only mentions this right at the end:

"If, however, zero emissions were to occur later in the century, there is the potential to lock in more carbon-cycle feedback processes – such as melting permafrost – than under current global temperature levels."

Quite a strange comment considering the permafrost has been melting for decades. See the Natalia Shakhova video I shared on my earlier comment. A quick google search will tell you more about the methane feedback.

And there are other feedbacks already triggered like the Arctic ice melting. Arctic ice deflects sunlight and has been decreasing yearly since we started measuring it in the 70s IIRC. See the latest data from the PIOMAS project:

http://psc.apl.uw.edu/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/schweiger...

The article also makes some bizarre claims such as "If emissions are cut to zero, on the other hand, atmospheric concentrations of CO2 would quickly fall, before eventually stabilising at a lower level.". But according to NASA, CO2 remains in the atmosphere between 300 and 1000 years.

https://climate.nasa.gov/news/2915/the-atmosphere-getting-a-...

https://royalsociety.org/topics-policy/projects/climate-chan...

Then "as the oceans slowly warmed up to reach the same temperature as the atmosphere". The oceans absorb more heat than the atmosphere which is the released over the following decades in a phenomenon sometimes called climate lag.

The problem there is that the most obvious solution (4 tonnes) is a non-SI unit (but admittedly widely accepted), while the true SI solution (4 Mg) is even more confusing.

Another perspective: those who stick with it view their tools as a long term investment. I have noticed that those who drift from editor to editor tend to use a subset of their features for a subset of their work. Only a handful will become proficient in its use and use it for a broad range of applications.
Well, of course the blame is with management. Accountants shouldn't take over a company, and if they are leading the decisions, it's the management's fault.

It's quite like engineers taking over the marketing department.
Not all places do this; the place I currently work only rewards leaders for "impact" and people have the option of whether to take on leadership responsibilities.

Places that reward non-leaders for impact are doing so intentionally to encourage people to self-organize into teams that produce the most value for the business. The theory being that the people on the ground often have a clearer view of whether value is being created than the various layers of middle management do. If you work in a place like this it's actually part of your job to stay plugged in to the business side and determine whether you're working on something valuable or not.
Strange question. OP did not say anything had to be anything, they are just sharing their experience...
This is really just an English expression that doesn't map perfectly to the actual mathematics it's intended to describe. 2 times smaller does usually mean 1/2 by convention in English and I don't think there's anything more profound than to just say it is what it is.

You seem well versed on this so maybe you know: are there other strategic decisions that would have made the 40nm choice less risky? Often strategic management isnt about each bet being reasonable, it's about making a portfolio of bets that balance risks and give you a unique market position.

Your own source says you are wrong. The price of a gallon of gas has dropped by almost a dollar according to the article in this post.

Your own link says:
“As shown in the table above, our analysis suggests that President Biden’s historic SPR release, in coordination with IEA partners, lowered the price of gasoline by 17 cents to 42 cents per gallon, with an alternate approach suggesting a point estimate of 38 cents per gallon.”

So, even their most generous estimate doesn’t support what you are saying. And that’s assuming that the price of gas wont drop any further (it will).
