I mean, yes, that was implied, since we have not even starting decreasing the amount of carbon we let into the atmoshpere time = emissions. It's like I tell you I earn X$ dollars and month and then you tell me "Yes, but only if you go to work that month". I guess you are right but you're kinda missing the point. I really don't see emissions being reduced by 75% any time soon, so then, no, we don't have 40 years. Even if we stopped emitting carbon now, there would be bad consequences further down the road.

Exactly, this is not some wall and partly unknown territory, the thing is that this destabilization has inertia and we will suffer the consequences even after we have started actively removing carbon from the atmosphere if that ever happens. Another thing are self sustaining global warming mechanism that have been kicked off and that we don't know the effects of. So it won't get slighly worse, it is getting exponentially worse.

Correct, because Econ 101 is based on an idealized economy that doesn't match the real world.

> A reminder to us that psychopaths are running the world economy.

Labeling Powell/the Fed as a psychopath simply because they're turning one of the very few if not only inflation control knobs they have seems extreme.

A psychopath would have done this randomly or at an illogical time (say by raising rates at the outset of the Great Recession). Just because you don't like the outcome of a decision doesn't make the decision maker a psychopath, more so when they agree that they wish there was a better way.

It sounds just like the private sector: Lack of staff everywhere. Perhaps talking too much about comfort of life led too many people to walk away; Meanwhile, well, we obviously generate enough wealth since they are walking away satisfied with their new standard of living.

The danger is, as a society, perhaps the feedback look has inertia: WAY too many people have resigned from the “hustle life” and we are not yet feeling the effect of what happens when so few people work.

Maybe, after 10 years, the Western countries will drop off the G8, and be replaced by cultures who are more willing to work.

Thank you for pointing this out. As much as I like to criticise the government (in many cases, well-deserved), it's important to keep a nuanced perspective and reserve criticism for cases that indeed warrant it. Not basing long term contracts on short term economic fluctuations seems like a reasonable policy.

If you're going to account for inflation in a contract, I believe indexing is the preferred method anyway. Many government pensions - and some salaries - are indexed to inflation.
imo, this is actually a fairly salient point. Wealthy people do put most of their cash in investments but not all investments are equal to the health of the economy or as detrimental if toyed with.

My hot take is that, at least in my corner of the world (Quebec, Canada), a lot of this is exacerbated by exceptionally restrictive immigration controls which artificially limit movement.

The nationalist/populist reasons for these policies (again, speaking only for Quebec) are going to suffocate a burgeoning and relatively young tech industry here in Montreal and Quebec City.
For other types of existential risks we are either in just in along for the ride (wide availability of nuclear weapons) lack data or concrete means of tackling the problem (AI, solar flares and whatnot) or it's something already linked to climate change problem management (decreased resources, overpopulation). The greying of the population is probably the second biggest story other than the climate.

For human rights, as tragic as they are the scale is just tiny in comparison. And the biggest boon for those rights is a functioning and wealthy society. Remove that with climate change and demographic troubles and they will be gone in a puff of smoke.

My experience is that when someone dies, all their paperwork gets left in a drawer for years until the next house move and then it's all thrown out.

My experience has been the opposite, with relatives eagerly snatching up the old photographs.

My boss is young and one of those people for whom digital is the only way. Then one day she got a box of old photographs and was absolutely amazed that she could turn them over and read where they were taken, on what occasion, and who was in the photos.

She now prints out all of her photos and writes notes on the back of them and keeps them in a box, just like people have done for the last century.
The birth replacement rate in the United States isn’t sufficient to fill all the jobs, and automation is still decades (or more) away from replacing them as well.

Yes. 100%. The map is not the territory here. The models presented in these examples are not perfect representations of the teams that people have built at all companies. It is easy and fun to poke holes in them as we're prone to do.

But for whatever it's worth, software delivery absolutely is a system. The level of understanding about how that system operates is all over the place. Some managers have absolutely zero idea about how their software goes from "issue open" to "its running in production" and they need to. Engineers need to as well. If it's informally occurring or informal knowledge, it should be made explicit. The part where we all get our back up is when a manager goes "improve this metric" without understanding system dynamics. The example about constraints stands out to me. If you're going to optimize a hot path in your software, you don't throw your hands up and go "All models are wrong!" You can actually instrument the way it works and see which method or areas require attention and thought. If we take these as analogies and apply them to how we eliminate variability then life is generally better for everyone.

I do tend to agree however, that these things are not leadership. But leadership requires situational awareness. Situational awareness is only acquired over time by "intuition" (which is often wrong) or by explicitly writing it down. Intuition is very difficult to explain to other executives, managers, and yes even software engineers. People like tangible things that reduce the resolution of the objects they represent and that's not going to change any time soon.

A cursory look at Wikipedia would tell you that Citizens United overturned a Supreme Court decision from 1990 called Austin v. Michigan.

In other words it did not boil down to "overturning a law" but created a new conservative doctrine that would apply to any law.

If it's not possible to buy politicians with campaign ads you shouldn't have a problem with a law making it illegal to buy politicans with campaign ads, no?

Yet for some reason you are spreading falsehoods about Citizens United, claiming a highly contested 5 to 4 decision turned on what was "obviously unconstitutional" (if it was obvious shouldn't it have been a unanimous decision?) almost like you want people to believe the case's ruling was sounder than it was and are afraid of it being overturned.

You're talking out of both sides of your mouth. "Buying politicans is my right as an American but also doesn't work so stay calm and don't panic over the fact I am buying politicians"

Same. I spent a month working in the public sector (two weeks, followed by my two week’s notice). I just couldn’t stand sitting around doing nothing.

Supply-Demand pricing is probably one of the most well studies aspects of modern economics.

There is a range of prices between the underlying costs+overhead to the price point where demand drops off.

In that range, several factors influence where a company sets its price.

In a case where a company produces a unique product on the market, then it will price in the higher end of the range where demand drops off.

On the other hand if multiple companies produce the identical product (a commodity market), then the competition all try to undercut the prices of one another and prices are more determined by the underlying input costs (such as labor and raw materials).

Few companies product something COMPLETELY unique and irreplaceable for long until other companies copy them, but most try to differentiate themselves somehow to enable higher pricing without competition. They obviously also try to reduce overhead and negotiate lower input prices to gain a pricing advantage and capture more market share.

Many companies exist in mature markets where commodity pricing dominates. In such cases, and in OPs case, the LACK of rising labor costs allow prices to remain low.

Only on social media do people think that companies price things from a purely ethical/greed based model. Efficient pricing is just one aspect of running a successful company.

Yeah, at this moment there is a lot of momentum behind React, and so there are lots of jobs/opportunities out there.

But just like jQuery had its time, and Angular, so too will React fade. And we will look back and think, "whoa that was crazy".

Svelte's surface area is small enough and sane enough that I wouldn't feel bad investing there. You can just spend time getting stuff done instead of obsessing in React land about useEffect vs useCallback and nesting components 20 levels deep etc.

If you want to keep the sanity of Svelte but go for a larger job market and community, Vue is also a pretty good option.

I appreciate the content provided, but I'm a bit confused about who the target audience is in this piece. The methodologies employed by the Puritans in regard to soul care were dependent on accepting the fact that Christ is alive and active in us, working through His Spirit. Attempting these techniques from a purely secular standpoint is likely to not result in much value.

"Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure." (Phil 2:12-13)

I should have added a smiley or something; what I was trying to imply was that being diagnosed and treated for depression made things worse for me, and that my rejection of that diagnosis in itself improved my mood.

Let me put it another way: if you have some cause to be fed-up, and then some shrink diagnoses you with depression, you now have two reasons to be fed-up. Like as not, your original cause of fed-upness could be remedied; but depression is uncurable, all they can do is treat the symptoms.

And reportedly, the treatment can be worse than the disease:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antidepressants_and_suicide_ri...

I don't mean to suggest that depression doesn't exist. But it's wildly over-diagnosed; I suspect that depression is often diagnosed because it's massively cheaper to write a scrip for a bottle of some shifty "mood-regulator" than to look closely into their life circumstances, history of trauma, relationships with others etc.

>The steady chorus of claims that wages are too high strikes me as consent-manufacturing by capital.

It's the opposite actually. The Fed is raising interest rates to contract the money supply, which will temper inflation. They acknowledge the negative impacts it will have to unemployment and wages, but if you read their press releases, you can tell it's clearly not their intent. Meanwhile, the MSM is spinning it as them wanting to stop wage growth to spark populist outrage and get more clicks.

It's a shame that everyone is intent on badmouthing one of the only somewhat competent parts of the government. The Fed is an easy target because they don't play petty politics. First Trump pressures the Fed to reverse quantitative tightening. Then, during the pandemic, the Republicans badmouth the Fed again for "printing money." Now, the left is criticizing them for "planning to sharply boost unemployment".
Many people believe that climate change can't be "solved" in a vacuum and has to be approached with broad measures to be palatable or even "solvable".

I haven't checked for America, but at least in Germany it's pretty obvious that with the expected transition to electrical vehicles, it will not happen fast enough to reach the climate goals. But at the same time, electric vehicles have significant pollution in the manufacturing stage, so just making them a lot cheaper might not be a solution (and lead to more demand for vehicles, since they're suddenly much cheaper, leading to unintended emission). Additionally vehicles are getting larger (increasing energy usage) and more miles get driven. This means car mobility has to be reduced or at least kept at the same level.

This is certainly not an easy problem and probably has to be associated with vast changes across society, like rezoning, changing work & mobility. And that's just a single example.

It's also pretty obvious (IMHO) that SAF won't available in a large-enough scale to make much of a difference to flying emissions in the next decades. But flights are booming around the world (with a small damper due to covid) and could make up as much as 10% of global warming contribution in 15 years which (IMHO) looking at the benefits is way too much. What do you do there?

Housing is difficult (how do you incentivize moving to efficient heating based on electricity without people dying because they need to save on heating), adoption to climate change is difficult (sorry, you can't live/build new houses here anymore), ... .

How do you avoid that pricing emissions hurts poor people the most and thus discourages/punishes politicians?

These are all topics with no simple answers and possibly unpopular solutions with no great alternatives. But "solving" climate change is a very multidisciplinary problem, with many unpopular issues associated with it.

It's very easy to tie something to climate change, even if it might not make much sense when looking at it in greater detail. But it's also very easy to surface level say "What's that to do with climate change?" even though for almost any measure you can argue for at-least some benefit.

> Still I think MacOS on x86 could have been a contender against Windows 3.1.

"MacOS" is slightly ambiguous because of the nomenclature changes, though Star Trek was System 7. The nomenclature (ignoring iDevice os names) evolves from System 1-7, Mac OS 7.6 - 9.2 (aka "Classic"), Mac OS X, OS X, and finally macOS, but all these names really only represents two distinct operating systems across 4 distinct hardware platforms.

The Star Trek project also initiated in 1992, after the PowerPC AIM alliance was formed. PowerPC was promising and apparently pretty exciting, with RISC able to do more with less processor cycles than x86 CISC. But by the late 1990's and early 2000's, Motorola had sold its PPC division to Freescale, and IBM had sold off its embedded chip applications and spread out into game console processors. Apple (Jobs) wasn't happy with IBM's delays in advancement or the roadmap, and by 2005 Apple announced the platform switch to x86.
