But Cunningham, who believes the company only acted “because the story got so much attention,” says he hasn’t used his account since its reactivation. He believes the company sees its customers as “data points” rather than individuals. “If somebody is showing in their policies that they really don’t care about the individual, I think it’s just a really dangerous thing,” he said.

“He was removed by mistake,” the Airbnb spokesman told MarketWatch when asked about Cunningham’s case. “We reinstated his account and apologized to him for the inconvenience.”

A heartfelt apology with some conciliatory gesture would be the absolute minimum after such injust horror story. But no. All rbnb did judging from this, is damage control of the viral story, and they even failed at that.

The frame here is unrealistic - the central bankers aren't like a court or parliament with long public traditions and well-defined, difficult to change procedures. They don't deal in issues that the public understands. Their activity is relatively opaque (maybe they even have secret activities, we wouldn't necessarily know).

There is no guarantee of procedural stability year-to-year. Every crisis the way central banking works changes. Before & after 2008 central banks became different beasts, for example. They keep changing their methods. A published book can't keep up with that central banking 'is'.

Personally I found enneagram types to be much more useful in both classifying a personality and understanding how to relate to them better. When my wife and I took it, the lightbulb finally went off on why there were certain conflicts. We both approached the same situation from different perspectives and motives, and our responses made logical sense with that context.
How would we describe the state of standing and waiting for all eternity? Being in limbo, perhaps?

As entrepreneurs and product managers tend to build their starups hinging on a product they tend to create their strategies on their competitors without having an iota of idea that their actual competition is with entropy that tends to increase with time and thus makes the job far more difficult for them. Most companies like Nike or Amazon that went past a certain threshold to become category leaders were competing to outshine themselves and that made them what they are today. In this fictional story I narrate the life of a startup product entrepreneur who is struggling hard to keep his product startup afloat and how a singular divine incident in his life changes his perspective forever.

I've been to several therapists, which have proven useless. I don't think there is a hole in my life, besides the fact that I'm wasting my entire life on stupid shit because I procrastinate.
Great article. It is necessary to be reminded of this some time. I always like to remind myself of Steve Jobs' famous speech where he says something like:

"As with all matters of the heart, you know when things are right". Which implies you damn well know when things are not right too. (source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UF8uR6Z6KLc&ab_channel=Stanf...)

Not sure if Steve Jobs is a devil according to this guy.
Yeah this case is interesting actually, I had never thought of a legitimate derivative landing on github, not something the original author intended to happen...

My guess is that you're right and it does mean 1) and 2), but again, it's probably a matter of interpretation and actual ruling on the matter.
great one ;)
Bill Gates — 'I choose a lazy person to do a hard job. Because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it.'
Hating Steve Jobs fits tidily in the Anti-Apple rhetoric: which started precisely when they were pulled into the smartphone wars.

When I look at the criticisms of Steve Jobs or Apple, I look at it in context of the life of people and other businesses, and it takes a lot of double standards to make the argument land one way “he’s satan” or the other “he’s god’s gift”.

It's why when I hear Steve Jobs/Apple is evil, I hold it with the same credibility as people that say Steve Jobs/Apple are the greatest. I.E. With no credibility whatsoever.

Considering cycling vs walking only, I always thought this depends heavily on how steep the terrain is. So cycling is more efficient than walking on a flat road without headwind (which feels intuitive: give half a stroke on the pedal and you're moving several meters forward, whereas for walking you need several steps moreover you're essentially moving your complete body weight up by a couple of centimeters on every step). But uphill that's just completely different, wfor cycling having one major muscle group which needs to develop quite a lot of power. tldr; statement indeed needs some clarification.

> The easy way out is to say that invariants are “observable” properties and nothing can observe the broken invariant in the middle of the method call.

Which is why object's private/internal methods in general should not calling its public methods: public methods are usually written in the way that expects the object to be in a consistent state at the start of the call, and in the middle of a private/internal method it very much likely is inconsistent.

That's something I've personally been burned with and learned the hard way. Know thy methods' preconditions!

"So dont panic and trust Western leaders a bit more."

It's the western leaders who are keeping both Nord Stream 2 and 1 closed: NS2 because Germany won't license it, and NS1 by sanctioning Russia so they can't work with the companies that repair the broken components.

In fact there are at least 5 gas pipelines into various parts of Europe which are all closed by the west or western actions:

Not only is the trial schedule not changed, but Chancellor McCormick also made it clear she had little patience for expansive discovery for the whistleblower points. She is only allowing targeted, incremental discovery for these new additions to the case. If Musk starts making sweeping document requests based on this, she's going to be quite unhappy.

Yes, Musk won the point of including the Mudge disclosures, but he has to prove them with little to no discovery on a breakneck timeline. That's a hand tied behind his back. I see this as a win for Twitter overall.

Having worked in a GSIB Treasury I can answer this: In short banks do not co-operate, they are completely independent of each other. To manage liquidity they project all their expected outflows and inflows over a variety of time horizons under both normal and stressed conditions (capturing everything - cc purchases, drawdowns on overdrafts or other credit facilities, deposit movements and transfers, mortgages and other loans, refinancing of funding, debt issuance, staff and building costs etc etc etc, there's a huge amount of modelling behind this). Under US or UK regs Banks have to hold large liquidity buffers, in the UK this is enough to finance 2 months stressed outgoings assuming no incoming. It's pretty punitive, and runs into the 100s of billions for big banks.
I've always had trouble understanding intellectual property when it comes to code, because if I read open source code, remember everything, and write my own version (even if slightly different) 10 years later, I am not 100% sure whether it's copyright infrigement or not.

I see it as something akin to a painter studying someone else's work, then reproducing some of the techniques invented by the original artist... except that their techniques didn't have a license I guess?

I think I am not equipped to fully understand the legal boundaries between inspiration and theft, and I think most programmers are in the same situation.

The pypy folks and a bunch of other alternative python implementations have pooled together and are working on a soft fork of the c extension api to enable existing established projects that make heavy use of the c api to better work with the superior faster python implementations.

I believe this is the way forward. Existing packages are essentially tied to cpython because that’s what the python.org website offers for download, and people will just use that by default.

Once all major packages support the new c api, it will be easier to just use something other than cpython by default.
I have started using Obsidian (at work).
And I copy/paste into it any web content, text or image I find useful from the intranet, emails, meet.
I try my best to organise things. But for the most part, I use the search engine and the [autogenerated] links.

The only requirement when adding content is to figure out whether it should be added to an existing note or a new dedicated note should be created.
[btw, note nesting does exist in Obsidian]

With this simple workflow, you completely eliminate the notion of provenance of the knowledge.
The knowledge is here and up to your organisational habits.

After some time doing that, you end up with VERY dense notes (in term of knowledge/line ratio), and very few useless (distracting) content.

For the moment I like that A LOT !
Sounds nice to either have no real outside demands upon your time, or to sufficiently lack emotional attachment to anything you do such that it can’t exert pressure on you.

This is where the limits of the categorical imperative become apparent.

If there were a fund (assume a spherical, frictionless, voluntary society) that was the only way to feed the hungry, everyone should donate to it. Unfortunately it's set up by an evil game master, and one in ten thousand donations is answered with a bullet to the spine.

Of course the categorical imperative says we should do it anyway. I wouldn't. You wouldn't. Rational defection on bad payoff matrices is correct behavior.

I've worked with all three frameworks, but as a mostly single dev/engineer I very very much prefer Svelte because it lacks a lot of boilerplate that React has, and it's easier to think about than Vue's clunky way to write variables and functions.

But I'm a "hacker type" and don't work in a large tech company. I haven't seen Svelte in any sort of "real tech companies", haven't seen it on job boards, and it doesn't seem a very desirable skill.

Does this mean that Svelte "doesn't work" for large teams, because it lacks the boilerplate of React?
From your Tesla.
I don’t see the problem here. Creating money isn’t free for private banks, they can’t do it as much as they want. They start rejecting more loans when funding gets tighter.

What is the concrete problem that this system creates in your opinion?
I think svelte is a project that will always remain experimental.

My father runs a business, one day many years ago in his shop he needed help moving a bunch of material. I explained it would be a lot faster to do it a different way, and he commented that would be the lazy way to do it. It wasn’t the first time I’d run into this thinking, though it has stuck with me ever since.

I explained this isn’t about exerting less effort, but that for the same effort we get a heck of a lot more done. I guess that’s when I first realized that management consulting can be a good thing.

Of course, 30 years later, I know management consultants are often frauds that have no idea what they are talking about or doing. They make business benefits by slowing wage growth and by essentially forcing smaller groups of people to do more work by laying off their coworkers. Not the efficiency I had in mind.

The protestant work ethic is a powerful tool, but people need to know that it is a religious value now woven into society. Not to avoid doing productive things, because I think it can provide the most amazing successes and a wonderful life, but to be aware that it is horribly abused in America by business management. “Idle hands are the devil’s hands.” And it drives all sorts of compulsion.

None of this is new, but if I could go back in time, I would find Chuck Palahniuk, and explain to him that the problem in our society isn’t the banks, but the big consulting firms. Oh that would be a much more satisfying ending to Fight Club.

That’s a common misunderstanding, you can read the original quotes but to summarize:

The observation is named after Gordon Moore, the co-founder of Fairchild Semiconductor and Intel (and former CEO of the latter), who in 1965 posited a doubling every year in the number of components per integrated circuit,[a] and projected this rate of growth would continue for at least another decade. In 1975, looking forward to the next decade, he revised the forecast to doubling every two years, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 41%. While Moore did not use empirical evidence in forecasting that the historical trend would continue, his prediction held since 1975 and has since become known as a "law".

The speed of processors actually increased much faster than the number of transistors on a chip until recently. Smaller transistors used to mean both faster switching speeds and the ability to get more done per instruction cycle. The difference between the days of a 4 bit Intel 4004 and a 32Bit 486 was vast.
Does MBTI have scores for dimensions? For instance, does it report that one is 45% introvert and 55% extrovert? I've never heard of MBTI scores. To my understanding, it just reports one is more extrovert than introvert. In such a case, I don't think it would be meaningful to measure correlation to Big Five, which reports its results on a continuous scale.

This is really ridiculous. I am definitely someone who would fall into the category of “zealous Apple fan” but Steve Jobs was clearly an asshole of the highest order. Read the Walter Isaacson biography or his daughter’s memoir, Small Fry. Lisa Brennan Jobs has no reason to peddle “anti-Apple rhetoric”. She has a vested interest in the opposite! But her book tells her story about growing up with a massive asshole for a father.
I think the problem with articles like that is they seem quite oblivious to people's actual complaints when they say their attention span is getting worse. If you spent 2 hours a day reading books 10 years ago and now you spend 2 hours a day doomscrolling then could make the case your 'average' attention span hasn't changed, but when people lament this change it's much more about the lack of any intentionality in doomscrolling for two hours vs reading for two hours. There's also a subtext of 'if we can't measure it it's not real', which you could apply to any mental health issue.
Yes but ITER is the world's slowest fusion project. Now we can build much smaller reactors, much more quickly, with the same output because we have better superconductors. Several startups are tackling it, and a lot of fusion scientists think CFS will beat ITER to net power by a decade.
