You left out a whole paragraph of context to the second statement, and especially chose to cut off even the beginning and end of that sentence:

> No one thought of "normalising" relations with Nazi Germany's Hitler as my ancestors marched through Europe either.

Yes they did - France and Britain attempted to appease Hitler for 5 years.

Of course the lesson to learn from that is exactly that appeasement doesn't work. Letting Hitler get away with annexing Czechoslovakia only emboldened him to go further.

Right now, the UK is exporting energy to France because we are receiving Liquified Natural Gas at our Gas terminals and have nowhere to store it and can't send it over pipelines to Europe fast enough, so our only option is to burn it for electricity and sell that.

Once other EU LNG terminals come online, and as the UK needs more energy itself over winter, it stop exporting. Hopefully some more UK gas storage will come on line in the next few weeks as well, but probably not enough to make a significant difference to this winter's outlook: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-08-31/centrica-...
I'm not sure this holds up under close examination; SV is kind of unique in how entrepreneurial it is. But there's also the "angel investor" effects; in Europe far too many wealthy people are content to simply be landlords rather than invest in riskier things like actual businesses.

It's also very hard to generalise across Europe, which has a more diverse set of rules and business cultures than the US does.

But given a magic wand to make changes I would definitely introduce "de minimis" clauses in a whole load of business regulations. The rules for megacorps can afford to be complicated, the rules for small businesses cannot.

The entire concept of them cleaning up their act is impossible. That is the background. That is the reason for existing. That's what they do. They coordinate harassment. They make people go insane.

Many countries have done this — do you have any examples of one of them becoming more entrepreneurial? Because I don’t think we can just assume it to be true.

Just because people said that was their biggest barrier to starting a business doesn’t make it true. And I say that as someone who generally supports universal healthcare/insurance. People make up tons of reasons for not making a huge change in their life (like founding a company): “if only X then I’d finally do Y”. But if you fix X, they’ll find some new reason that they can’t do it.
I agree completely. Part of the issue, though, is that college credentials are too blunt of an instrument. I tend to think that it’s an easy defensible tool for HR rather than a useful one to select competent candidates.
Also worth mentioning how the Tomatometer is calculated: reviewer's scales (be it some number of stars, a 1 to 10 rating, a letter grade, etc) are quantized down to being either "positive" (1) or "negative" (0), and then, they are averaged to a percentage.

One issue with this method is that middling reviews have more effect than they should. For example, if 100 reviewers all thought a movie was 51% good, the Tomatometer would read 100%. And, conversely, with just a two point difference, if they all thought it was 49%, the Tomatometer would be 0%. In both circumstances, the Tomatometer would probably not represent how the reviewers felt about the movie.
2001-2007, I had multiple bad experiences with Compaq, Lexmark and HP. These were so bad in terms of cost and frustration I vowed I would never buy their products or services again. It's been... 15+ years. The tech world of today is not quite the tech world of 2003. Should I ever bother with a Compaq or HP again? I probably won't, but the 'avoid at all costs' just isn't there with me any more. Perhaps I've mellowed slightly in the past 15-20 years.

Especially this first quote:

"People aren’t deliberate enough about choosing what to work on."

Hold up. What is this based on? Is it based on a feeling of the author's inflated sense of worth compared to others?
Or is this really some objective and measurable metric?

Is it possible the author doesn't actually know or has taken the effort to deliberate on this statement themselves? Playing devil's advocate with your own ideas is probably the greatest service you can do for yourself but it seems that's not practised here.
I can come up with many examples of how people ARE very deliberate in what they work on. Like you said, raising a family, enjoying time outside of work, just straight up trying to survive. These all seem pretty deliberate.
Transistor progress has been especially astonishing, but if you just look at the progress in basically all areas of living in the last 200, 1000, 5000 years there is absolutely no reason we won't see incredible further improvements in the next century. They don't have to be exponential doubling every 18 months. Steady incremental improvements compound just fine over decades.

I just don't see any of your opening statement being even close to correct given the context. There was even significant progress in space travel and fusion in the last 50 years (e.g. first reactors being net positive after startup and reusable rockets with commercial space flights).
> What there is a shortage of are people with the organizational, and other, less tangible, skills that are needed to bring complex projects to fruition.

I don’t think that’s the case. In fact, I think we have more capable people than ever before. The problem is that we deny almost everybody such opportunities. Companies are structured too hierarchically.
If that's true, it needs to be addressed. If it's true, then Peter Daszak, surely would have evidence that would exonerate him, along with corroborating witnesses. Instead, he hides and deflects. Unfortunately, it's become a right vs left issue, so he has an entire political establishment deflecting for him on his behalf.

It's human nature, if you are already predisposed to a suspicion, then the subject of that suspicion does something shady, this only confirms your suspicion.

You can’t get to the Moon by climbing successfully higher trees. This experiment might as well be Exhibit A. Mars has an atmosphere of carbon dioxide. This device would be useless in Death Valley or on the Moon. There is also a realistic chance of establishing an industrial base on Mars in a way that’s more challenging on the Moon and worthless in Death Valley.

People even pay their landlords with Zelle now.

> "fake meat" is processed food.

It's not like animals have no risks or externalities. What's the critical difference between industrial processing vegetable matter into a fried patty, and a cow organically processing vegetable matter into flesh which is then turned into a fried patty? Cows getting BSE is what made my mother decide I would be "vegetarian at school" back in the late 80s. Overuse of antibiotics in the production of meat gets a significant share of the blame for the evolution of antibiotic resistant bacteria.

> I see "fake meat" as a temporary crutch for people transitioning to vegetarianism.

Most people demonstrably don't care enough about even the combination of the ethical, environmental, and the health the reasons for a better diet. Meat substitutes are aimed at most people.

The deeper point isn’t to compare mores law to all new technology but rather to consider how long it takes to get close to some fundamental limit. Early engines had horrible efficiency but that rapidly increased over time up to a reasonable fraction of hypothetical limits.

You see this all over the place, modern guns aren’t multiple orders of magnitude improvements over guns built 100 years ago. But they are orders of magnitude better than the absolute earliest guns ever built.

So, when looking at a prototype the question isn’t can it be improved but by how much can it be improved.

AppleScript is an amazing facility and undervalued strength of macOS. I've found it useful for automating content management workflows for people that prefer a GUI over a shell script. You can also use it directly from a shell script via `osascript -e "XXXX"` to show pop-up windows or take simple inputs.

It's really a pity that AppleScript / Open Script Architecture doesn't have more documentation love, and that support in the macOS ecosystem for scripting is falling off as developers adopt web-focused or iOS-focused app architectures.

AppleScript itself is a weird, slow language, but you can use JavaScript (executed by JavaScriptCore) instead with the same scripting libraries. In fact, there's a whole architecture to extend the macOS scripting system with different interpreters. On my system, the following are available:

$ osalang -l
ascr appl cgxervdh AppleScript
jscr appl cgxe-v-h JavaScript
scpt appl cgxervdh Generic Scripting System

But, there are constants defined in Swift for a bunch of scripting languages: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uniformtypeidentif...

My guess is that the resource protection of WASM is quite well made.

There are experimental or hobbyist VMs with great resource protection but that didn't receive a lot of attention, so they have all kinds of sharp edges. And there are mainstream VMs that all completely suck at resource protection even when it's one of the main goals of the project.

On the middle, with a good enough to be useful amount of protection, and receiving attention enough to be usable, there is basically only WASM.

I imagine there is an amount of javascript-like "I want whatever I have on the browser, so I'll have to learn less stuff" happening too. But I don't think it's as relevant, because there is much less to learn when picking a VM.
