> Impressive you think the US can influence other countries that long

Up until recently, it was a given. In the case of Japan, there is some kind of feudal behavior of 'loyalty' that comes from the Zaibatsu culture. Which in itself descended from postwar Yakuza.

> We can't even stop Saudi Arabia from raising gas prices whenever they want to annoy us.

You used to. Until Russia & China built up enough defense industry and also started helping any country against US coups and color revolutions by providing intelligence.
It has the potential to retire the average salaryman in the creativity field (not just interior design teams/architects but specially UI/web designers). Outliers will be outliers and choosing one may give the client an edge but the average creative may not do much better than this "AI" and as such loose the ability to put bread on the table doing "creative" work.
It also reeks of the typical productivity theatre I see in my parents generation. Highly visible self-sacrifice, everything for work.

But putting in 80 hours a week, going to work even when sick, neglecting rest and family, all these things reduce overall work output, often sharply. Especially when it's just performative, but even when it's honest.
The decision to weigh the needs of society over the rights of an individual to retain the value derived from the productive output of their own labor is not a given.

You own your body. Your labor is just you consciously deciding to operate your body in a manner that fulfills the needs of someone else in exchange for something of value. The value of your money being diluted is, for the worker, no different from wage theft by an employer - the rightful compensation from your productive labor being taken from you without your consent.
Not to handle, but it's clearly dangerous in the way noted in this article.
I'm gen X so sort of right in the middle. I consider my generation on of the last of the american dream is attainable for the average worker.

I was able to buy a home in my early 20s and climb the wealth ladder. I busted my ass working a 40hr a week job and doing side hustles to make it happen.

If you are looking for a home now outside a major city and don't want a 2hr commute things are so slim even if you work your butt off why do it then?

Its not that they don't want to work its why work? Its not a work issue but its a wage issue. Wages haven't kept up with inflation and cost of college.

Kids have been pushed by their parents to take office jobs when they could be making 2 times what they are currently working if they went into a trade.

My dad owned a sand/gravel company and sold it because he couldn't find young people that wanted to drive a truck or run a frontend loader. He was offering $25/hr in a low cost of living area and no one wanted to do it because they've heard since they were 8 years old how bad working with your hands are and they should get an office job
I could not agree more.

You can't compare raw salary numbers. You need to compare total lifestyle / purchasing power.

It's a totally different game now. Job security is gone in both directions. Oh and the world in general is a much more chaotic place. The younger generations are just trying to come to terms with it.
I am pretty sure if a normal sized store was doing that regularly in a community and a bunch of teenagers ended up dead and concerned parents walked in and begged them to stop and they told the parents to fuck off, there would be a fistfight. The owner of the store wouldn't feel comfortable going to local restaurants. There would be consequences.

We live in a fucking society, with people in it. These tech giants are wrecking major parts of it. The degree to which everyone in this thread is just utterly blind to the moral and interpersonal obligations of corporations and unwilling to insist on something better is really something.

Are the author's observations really representative of a generational difference? When I was younger, my attitude would have been "work hard and party hard", which was a commitment to an active rather than relaxed work-life balance. Among my fellow students, I could observe a whole spectrum from "work hard" to "party hard". My own current anecdotal evidence with young adults from my extended family still includes examples of both. Therefore, I am not sure if the average has really shifted.
Step 1: *systematically kill the middle class over a generation*

Step 2: "noooooo, why are these workers not pushing themselves like they used to? are you not believing in our mission statement? but we've introduced Pride Month this year! what else do you want???"

Step 3: ???
Thanks for the feedback, I'll look into it.
I think the problem is when you start trying to get away with doing less than what you're paid for. For example, taking short cuts, hiding issues, or neglecting other responsibilities. In many roles, this would probably work for quite a long time but create massive long-term issues for the company.
Cryptocurrencies is a more social revolution than technical one. It helps to spread innovative ideas more evenly across the globe.

Cryptocurrencies provide coordination mechanisms and is the "fuel".

I'm from Poland, so good example will be gaming as we have CD Projekt (they made Cyberpunk 2077 / Witcher and other titles) here. Their advertising budget is huge and most of it goes to Facebook ads, Twitter ads and other Silicon Valley funded companies. So in order to make a successful title, you need to spend a lot of money on ads.

On other side, Axie Infinity in 90%+ spreaded around the globe because a lot of people coordinated to do so because of this cryptocurrencies social phenomena.

I'm sure this mechanism will be used, improved over the next years and more "money" will go to "token holders" instead of to social platforms like FB.

It's win-win situation for the game/software producer and to the user etc.

Not sure why this would be funny. Elon owns X.com since 2017.
Good business are created by the pressure of natural selection of capitalism. Everything App assumes that some company that started with an app for something specific will magically skip the entire natural selection of capitalism in all other areas. That's never going to happen, for the same reason that communism is interior to capitalism: central planning is much more inefficient.

A startup succeeds or fails on its own. A company trying to do everything will have to include a lot of failures.

The real problem is that all those companies eventually get bought and eventually end up as a team of some giant corporate which then abuses it. Pre planned everything app won't happen in capitalism, by Elon musk or anyone else, but an app that bought all others can happen.
Yes, I also interpret it similarly, but also see it used when a task involves engaging with company politics or strategy that is organizationally above where the person is or where it feels inaccessible. Like if you are asked to do something and it requires help from some other group, and they say no, you might say that resolving the issue is above your pay grade... even though you _could_ hassle those other people to get the work done. In that sense saying "that's above my pay grade" can indicate you aren't prepared to hustle within the corporate structure.
I know people that try to extract the maximum amount of value from their job with the least amount of effort. This typically entails taking extended mental health leave. They get 6-24 months of 0-100% base pay, healthcare, pto, and rsu vests while providing negative value to the organization.

I feel like these "take advantage of the system people" are partially the cause of stricter monitoring and leeway.
A pitch deck is a necessity at every stage.

Not just for investors, but for you and your team.

Having the company laid out in a simple deck allows you to tell a story. Getting people to buy into a simple story can be a huge force multiplier. Even if you’re not raising a round it is a good idea to have a snapshot of your company narrative in a deck format.

You are still presenting a mix out of climate denial myths and lies. Global warming didn't "go away", it is ongoing and accelerating. As it is expected from the ever rising CO2 content in the atmosphere.
I realise I'm in the minority, but I had the opposite reaction watching The Hobbit in 48fps. It looked no more like a set with costumes than other films do, but I was no longer unpleasantly distracted by any fast movement or panning.

Thank you for your feedback! Will take this on board! If I've understood correctly:

1) The tracks that are presented to you should be a mixed bag based on your preferences? Currently the application showcases 50 random tracks for ONE genre at a time.

2) The mixed bag of tracks should also provide you with some tracks that are outside of the genre/year preferences you have specified?
If I take your comment to heart then you should also shut up because its not your business to call people of color, black people. He most certainly has the right to comment. I do, too. I wouldn't want a payment processor to block you or fine you an arbitrary amount for vague rule violation with no legal recourse. Shutting up would mean this discussion wouldn't exist and paypal can continue stealing 2500 because they are always right.

The problem with having a PDF file as template is that it gets very hard to define how new pages should be created whenever there is too much content to fit on the existing pages. E.g. line items in an invoice template.

What you can do is to use a PDF file for all the static content that appears on each page.
You're talking about Kujala's 4×6 font, then, but you have it wrong; three letters of text are 12 pixels wide in it. There's no extra implicit spacing pixel, either horizontally or vertically.

As you can see from the code in http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dofonts-1k.html, moving to the next character position is "x += 4" and moving to the next line is "x = 0\n y += 6".
Companies see regulation as just another raw material to be bought and sold and processed for their benefit.
Isn't this already illegal?

Surely the judiciary has a monopoly on punishment of 'crimes'.

But I agree with your overall point. Payment processors should be seen as public utilities that people have a right to. It shouldn't be up to private companies, who has access to that.
This is going to depend on how much you are monitored, if you have key performance indicators, if management really has a useful gauge of your productivity to use.

If it's a 3-tier scale, the middle "doing your job" means you use your 8 hours / day to get work done (mostly). You don't push off as many duties as possible while "waiting" for more information. You don't go fishing while logging hours. You continue to see what you can get done throughout the day, and you do it, even if you're not being watched and monitored.

On that bottom tier, unless something is specifically measurable, unless there's a solid grasp of accountability that management can use to ensure the work you're doing is meaningfully productive from their point of view, you don't have to do much of anything. You could be in sales but not selling anything. You could show up for required meetings, but make up reasons why you didn't get anything done. You could spend 7 of your 8 hours watching Netflix. Basically, you quietly (as in, without being noticed) quit (as in, stopped doing your job.)
If you are coplanar with a bunch of points, and you can see a few of them together, then I'm pretty sure you can draw a line between the ones you can see.
It's simple. They do it every time I order wine or booze online, they do it every time someone orders pot, it'd simple and easy. Even Amazon does it in their whole foods branch when they deliver wine, safeway does it when they deliver me beer. It is simple and trivial.

These attacks in Ukraine _were_ the good Russian missiles.

They're from a precious small stockpile of Russian precision weapons. And they wasted it on civilian targets.

The local farmer's market that I patronize (not a coop) has been around for 60 years. The one nearer me (a coop, the doer kind) has grown to multiple gigantic facilities, a few satellite locations, and regional name recognition for quality.

>> Want to bet on whether the next pitch is a ball or strike? On total field goals in the quarter of a basketball game? Or maybe whether the next football play will be a run or pass?

Imo this article is a great wake up call, but it’s not that real-time sophisticated as the op attempts to strongly imply.
Exactly. This is why we don't want to break our backs working and they are clueless.
> Fulfilling my duties but not doing overtime seems like "doing your job" rather than "quiet quitting."

Yeah, but the employers see 'just doing your job' as you not working enough. They want you to go 'above and beyond' and 'dedicate yourself to the mission' with 'passion'. Hence, quiet quitting.
I've heard that that the letters for 'typewriter' all appear in the top row so a salesman could type that as a demonstration. Perhaps apocryphal.

Interesting idea but I am very skeptical that you could collect enough data on people to tease out how much their new toaster or app is contributing to their well-being.

Self selection and lack of random controls will always thwart such an effort.

It is still an interesting concept philosophically, and worthy of consideration.

I'm not too sure where the line is between a well being catalysis metric and old fashioned utils.

It is well understood that people can over or under pay for the utility of their purchases.

Meta really tries to have the new name replace the old in many contexts: when you start any of the apps it say “from Meta”, the Oculus Quest is now the Meta quest, the stock symbol changed, etc.

Humans have been doing this forever, just working hard enough to not be fired. If anything it's idealistic youth who tend to buck that trend and subscribe to hustle culture en masse. From the 1999 movie Office Space:

The author gave the following suggestions for how to use manual memory management (MMM) languages more safely:

- Don't use malloc.

- For long-lived allocations, use per-type arrays.

- In a game, we might have an array for all Ships, an array for all Missiles, and an array for all Bases.

- For temporary allocations, one can also use an arena allocator.

- For temporary allocations whose pointers don't escape, one can also use the stack.

- All unions must be tagged 11 and treated as values.

- Always use bounds checking.

The author then gives a list of tools like ASAN to perform various analyses (static and dynamic) to help further increase safety.

What I did not see, however, was one of the simplest and most effective suggestions for MMM programs:

Never free.

That is, in batch type workloads, scientific computing, and many things that are
not a long-running server process, you may have the liberty and resources to allocate but never free, and this could also be an important tool in your chest.
I've never heard young people use this term the way the author claims - that's the definition used by people of the author's generation. Young people, by and large, seem to call it "doing your job", as you say.

In my experience, young people saying "quiet quitting" are referring explicitly to the judgmental attitude around work-life balance that's held by some older members of the workforce.
How a ragtag team of developers created the most popular mobile OS
Yeah so most of these online home listing sites like Zillow use some third party school ratings API. The one Zillow uses is GreatSchools.

Almost all the home listing sites allow sorting/filtering by properties that are inherent to the home such as size, price, location, number of bedrooms etc.

If you select any given home based on search criteria from the properties mentioned above, data is presented to you on that home such as school rating or even property tax information.

This sounds reasonable because you never selected the home based on a school rating.

I’m trying to figure out if choosing a home based on school rating is considered steering and hence why these sites don’t allow one to sort/filter by school rating, for example.
It's pretty well-understood that a company does not function if everyone performs only the duties written on paper. There's even a counterproductive strategy that uses that as the hallmark: "malicious compliance." People aren't robots (if they were, they'd have been automated by now so owners could keep all the wealth by owning all the capital) and the challenges businesses face are too dynamic to survive a script-only approach to meeting people's needs.

I think the most important question to ask is "If the company dies, why don't the employees care?" And unpacking that box can answer all sorts of unasked questions about power imbalance in the modern (mostly service, non-union) economy.
And that is exactly what New Zealand started doing in 2019[0].

A large problem with metrics is that they have a tendency of becoming a goal of their own. Instead of them being used as mere indicators, we end up with entire countries whose sole goal is to eternally increase their GDP - to the extent that it ends up harming the general population.

People do not solely exist to generate revenue, and it is about time we stop pretending they do.

Can we back up a second? An "everything app" is not a well-defined thing. Projecting whatever fears you have about the threat to liberal democracy onto the blank slate of an "everything app" says much more about you as a writer than it does about the concept of an "everything app".

It's being taken as a given that WeChat is an "everything app" and that Elon Musk was using "everything app" in that (not universally accepted) context for the meaning of an "everything app".

The article makes some tolerably good points about concentration of power and that's totally fine, but putting it in this context just seems silly.
I would also argue that this correlates with the weakening of pro-labor political blocs. This includes but doesn't necessarily only include labor unions. I'm also talking news reporting (muck-raking) and labor watchdog orgs. Companies stopped feeling like they are obligated to society (including their workers) and are now mandated to operate only to make more money for the select few owner class.
unfortunately nature IS, most likely, probabilistic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidden-variable_theory
Most of these criticisms already apply due to the dominance of the existing tech platforms in the west; its hardly new for the threat to liberal democracy from deplatforming to be voiced - perhaps though there is added urgency for those who now see it potentially affecting themselves and their beliefs.
I remember work to rule well. As a kid my teachers union were going through negotiations and on the verge of striking and we got to see first hand what that's like. Turns out all those sports and extra curricular activities your kids enjoy in school aren't in the contract. Same with staying late and providing any extra help, or supporting anything like a school dance. The contract is just show up, lecture, mark homework during prep. periods, leave. Parents were frustrated to say the least. Anyways, you can't expect your employees to go above and beyond for free. Any extra responsibilities need to be spelled out in the contract.

I can't imaging how that'd work for a developer. There can be an innumerable number of tasks different developers do and as they grow in a position, it can change enormously. I guess it would force contract and pay renegotiations every year? Otherwise your new team lead could just.. stop.. in the case where they were hired as just a senior developer.
I wish I could go back in time and just curb crypto from growing into the current tumor it has become. Decentralization efforts applied to app servers and services would have been such a better use of time and energy imo.

If there was a protocol for cab hailing, and anyone could roll it out for someone to connect to their network (like xmpp), and anyone could offer to become a driver or play another role like customer support, they earn their local currency and are a part of their local economy. The same protocol could be used in Norway and in Taiwan. There might be a gap that’s too hard to fill, and someone else could create another protocol that works in their local economy, maybe like a matrix protocol. They’re completely different but serve to solve the same problem of real time communication.

Then Elon’s super app could offer users a platform which tries to implement multiple protocols, or have a in app protocol marketplace which is the sub apps. Apps for buying shoes, or buying groceries, or hiring movers. Users could become consumers or agents, so they can both work for various protocols and spend their money on them. They would be vetted and backed by the super app.

It would be fully decentralized, except for the payment part. If you have everyone on your platform you don’t need to issue tokens and other bullshit. Just build something useful and they will come.
It's kind of unclear. It's also possible that because of the slower exploration and settlement of North America, we simply never saw the large societies before they collapsed from disease (especially true of the Mississippian cultures) — Europeans only came through in force a hundred years later.
