I think on most Dutch secondary schools, the percentage of kids biking to school would be about 99%. Well, some of the older ones might ride a moped or something like that.
And why would it ever rise? The point of media isn't to give me information, it's to tell me what the rich people, who own the news corporation, wants me to think!
What percent of statistics are made up again? 75% maybe?
Whoever ends up controlling Taiwan will have a lot of destroyed factories on their hands. Losing 90% of advanced integrated processor output is world changing by itself. Besides the fact that military analysis done by us news spectators is a vain exercise.
> In the US, most cities have bussing programs to intentionally give kids long commutes. The goal is to put students from poorer areas in better schools.

Busing hasn't been a thing for many years, and never was in use in "most cities".

Edit: for those in other countries, "busing" in this context means loading the children who would normally attend one school onto a bus and transporting them to another (often distant) school. The intent behind this was to even out the distribution of races among the schools. It never did work well (not the least because essentially all of the students and parents involved hated it), and was effectively banned by a series of Supreme Court decisions starting in the 1990s.
I've heard about similar circumstances when I briefly helped a startup that provided software in the hospice industry.

Supposedly a big client in Oklahoma City trialed their software one week and employees said the would quit if they were forced to use it.
Very scummy companies. They often try to pull tricks like paying your wage in mostly their own coin which they plan to rug pull before you are able to cash it out.

> Revolution is building and implementing the stuff that happens afterwards.

That's not a definition of revolution that I have ever heard a person use, or come close to capturing what anybody who I have heard advocate revolution speaks of, whether that's in historical text or contemporary discussion.

It's exceptionally rare that a revolution is about building the new system, it's actually about shifting the power structure.

But I want a solid description of what sort of democratic control could replace the economic system of capitalism, by building it. Until then, incrementally changing but by bit seems like the only feasible way to discover better systems.
Got it. You're right.
Yes, which feels kind of weird: first mention Assen, then start writing about the Netherlands as a whole as though that was the topic all along. Idk, maybe it's just me

> Who got the top bunk?

If I'm being honest, my parents had an enormous house, so we all got our own rooms and there was still an office space available. They sold it after we all moved out again.

We all made a tremendous effort to stay adults regarding keeping the place in order and cooking. We'd cycle dinner prep through all of us based on work schedules. It was interesting, and since all of our collective friends took lockdown extra seriously, there really was no one to go see.

My parents are in their early 50s, so they're definitely not young anymore, but they're still some time away from something I'd consider "actually old", but my definition may be a bit skewed because 3 of 4 of my grandparents are still with us and 2 of them have a clean bill of outside of being in their late 70s.
There are plenty of depts with a good iPad use case, typically those with very standard workflows and few apps.

Think about HR who just need Zoom/Meet/WebEx, Greenhouse (or whatever ATS), and email+calendars.

Office admin, customer support, etc. all have simple needs that benefit from a really nice, but easily controlled and secured device.

Also, don’t underestimate how much “the Spotify app works” will entice people too.

Yeah, you won’t convert all the quants, engineers, etc but they aren’t the target. That said, in my experience they love the iPad as a second screen that’s very portable, in contrast to the high powered very unportable workstation.

The biggest factor for iPad adoption is really: “is there an app”. Particularly with SaaS tools there’s often a decent which lends itself to iPad usage.

Most adults don't have a fanbase and thus will not have free waking hours to CurateBio in the hopes that people will fund them to do just that. (Untldr: Growth is exponential thus population quickly expands to fill land prices which expand to fill simple lifestyles and waking hours. Even in a land with price caps or ownership banned, pop eventually expands to fill construction prices which again expand to fill simple lifestyles and waking hours. (Construction stops where adding another storey due to gravity, requires more men than there is literally available.) Until ownership is banned not just for land but also for Tech can there be such things as free waking hours for the people.)

> Well I just want to say, the industry has an obsession with "growth" in performance reviews. But the reality is that growth only works when you build on someone's strengths. Trying to ask someone to grow by changing who they fundamentally are, leads to withdrawal, stagnation, and anti-growth. I'm actually getting worse at my job, not better, because I'm being forced to be something I'm not. It's depressing, draining, and frustrating. I can't be who I fundamentally am in my role.

I totally agree with this. What poor companies do is try to force you into a process no matter what. The process is king and if you don't fit it, get out.

What they should do is go grab a coffee with you and ask you what your desires are on a regular basis. And even to some extent make the company strategy malleable to this (across all staff). That is if employee churn is an issue, which of course it is because hiring is a big hassle!

Obviously the more people in the company, the more standardization of process you need. You may have less need for certain roles that are jacks of all trades and need specialist squads. But there should be always room for asking staff what they ideally want and trying to get them closer to that.
> in fact is what introduced me to the Apple ecosystem (where I'm now fully submersed) in the first place.

If you’d be willing to expand on this, I’d be very interested to hear more.

I used to be all-in on Apple devices circa 2010, but drifted back to Windows and Android for gaming & better notification UX (and Windows being a much more familiar OS to me). However, I don’t game on PC anymore, and I’ve become increasingly unhappy with the privacy concerns regarding Google’s ecosystem.

I got a 2020 iPad and the UX is leagues ahead of my aging Samsung Galaxy S9. Given this and the aforementioned privacy concerns, I’ve been considering once again switching to an iPhone and MacBook. Therefore, it would be very valuable to me to hear more about your experiences (and others who have made the same switch and happen to read this).

Yes, but why not change that system in order to provide more equal funding, instead of resorting to bussing?
The folly of monoculture forest planting forms the basis for a subplot in The Overstory.

I can't give a wholehearted reccomendation for The Overstory since it was a bit melodramatic for my taste. The narrative cadence of the book goes something like: tragedy, pointless tragedy, ridiculous tragedy, unrealistic tragedy and so forth until the end... with a dash of interesting ecology and history sprinkled throughout. I suppose it should be read as magical realism with "rage against the machine" vibes.
Are you honestly comparing France's relatively lackadaisical lockdowns to that of China (where entire cities experienced total lockdowns, with households only being allowed to send out 1 person to get food)?

And using Covid deaths per million global stats:

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1104709/coronavirus-deat...

The data on the linked page above shows that China has a Per Capita covid death rate of 10.8 per million, while that of France is 2,115.56 deaths per million. Even if you were to take the side of the tin-foil hat conspiracists and multiply China's covid death rate by a factor of 10, France would still have a covid death rate that's 20 times (20 TIMES!) that of China.

The only Western country with a lower covid death rate than China is New Zealand, which has an astonishingly low covid death rate of 0.2 deaths per million - solely because for much of the duration of the pandemic, NZ literally shut itself off from the world, and only opened up a few months ago.

The remaining countries with low covid related death rates are poor African & Asian countries - either due to a nonexistent medical infrastructure that does not permit them to keep accurate infection/hospitalization/death records or because the vast majority of poor countries have a significantly young population with relatively robust immune systems due to repeated exposure to illness causing pathogens.

The other wealthy/developed countries on that list that are nearest to China are the UAE & Qatar, both with 236 and 238 covid related deaths per million respectively, Japan with 250 covid deaths per million, and Singapore with 252 deaths per million.
> And I can't tell what experiments you're referring to, so it's not reasonable to comment.

Not to be too harsh, but if you don't know about the experiments conducted by Sabin that led to the live attenuated oral polio vaccine, then you don't know enough about virology to comment on the gain-of-function debate.

This is the equivalent of wading into a highly technical debate among computer scientists and then saying that you've never heard of the concept of a Turing Machine.
Sure but the comment is still an appealing pitch to investors, and probably can be read broadly to include "things not yet invented".

>We sold a cheap van in the company name. I was 100% straightforward about this with Stripe. I would happily reverse the charge and reprocess it through our primary processor. The customer would also be willing. We have all the paperwork to prove the sale and a signed credit authorization. Stripe has asked us for 0 documents pertaining to the sale.

>On top of being out this money, we have to remit sales tax to the state for this sale. It's not a truckload of money but it's enough to make a small business owner throw his head in his hands

If we are taking him at face value that he sold a van, should we also take him at face value that he would be happy to reverse the transaction to his customer and that Stripe is holding his funds hostage and is impossible to get a resolution from?

> But it is easy to see that neither of these can be the principal motive of most scientists. As for "curiosity," that notion is simply absurd. Most scientists work on highly specialized problems that are not the object of any normal curiosity. For example, is an astronomer, a mathematician or an entomologist curious about the properties of isopropyltrimethylmethane? Of course not. Only a chemist is curious about such a thing, and he is curious about it only because chemistry is his surrogate activity. Is the chemist curious about the appropriate classification of a new species of beetle? No. That question is of interest only to the entomologist, and he is interested in it only because entomology is his surrogate activity. If the chemist and the entomologist had to exert themselves seriously to obtain the physical necessities, and if that effort exercised their abilities in an interesting way but in some nonscientific pursuit, then they wouldn't give a damn about isopropyltrimethylmethane or the classification of beetles.

What rubbish. One need only look at Euclid's Elements to see that a small portion of humanity has always been interested in completely irrelevant but highly specialized formal knowledge manipulation. That a single book about math has survived for longer than the Bible and been translated to a few dozen languages, across a dozen civilizations tells you all you need to know about the universality of curiosity.

Yes, if you're starving you won't be spending your time on curiosity, but you also won't be doing much of anything but looking for food. You might as well say that sex is a surrogate activity that we'd give up if we found something better to do.
US tax dollars spent training these mercenaries!
Yes, I know this effect everywhere. Currently at work in Germany (to be fair: also because it was previously just not practical; I should ask for speaking more german now), or when my girlfriend studied in the Netherlands she said the same. When I was in Finland, people spoke English really really well, but when I looked for an internship, there was not much available in the first place, and that which there was, all required speaking either Swedish or Finnish. (Probably this is better in the capital area, I wasn't near there.) But even if people speak it very well as a secondary language, you're still limited in making friends or finding jobs, even if casual interactions (e.g. stores, school/work friends) try to be helpful and speak english unless you absolutely insist on using your broken version of their language.
If there's other users for this I'll write a getenv_multi which takes a callback function. Didn't seem like much point doing that until we want to use this somewhere else though.

We end up with device=xxx and device_1=yyy but if you mean that someone specifies device_1=zzz after that, it would show up as device_1_1=zzz. I'm inclined to file that one under "if a user is deliberately obtuse, they get what they deserve".
This is how you end up with 8 bosses like in office space. EM, TL, ATL, PM, PgM are all telling you what to do and asking for status updates. I wish there was someone to liase and multiplex all that, but I think they all think that's what their job is.
I don't imagine its that much worse than a regular GUI program outside of a browser. I assume text can still be selected/copied so screen readers should still be able to access something.

I'm with you. The previous sentiment is similar to 35mb of RAM is all you'll ever need. Instead computers are a "build it and they will come" paradigm. Hardware innovation happened in the US when it was cheap and accessible. Not it happens in Shenzhen, where it is cheap and accessible. Programming innovation accelerated when computers became cheap and accessible. I don't see us slowing down anytime soon because you can literally put a computer in anything, and people are trying. Cheaper and more powerful chips just means we can expand into more domains.
Autocomplete in Gmail has been getting more and more robust. At first it only suggested grammatical correction in words. Later it started giving advice on better sentence structure and then it just started suggesting whole sentences. Each of those steps I loved. More often then not it just says what I wanted to say, with less button pushes, and without all of the mistakes that I make as a non-native english speaker. I sound smarter in gmail and I like it.

If I didn't have this experience, then giving the machine any input on what I write would seem crazy to me. I would think that language is too personal, too contextual, that I need control over every word and every letter.

But now I love writing with the help of the machine. It still feels like me speaking, the machine doesn't add any extra context that I don't approve of. It really feels like the messages are still mine, and the autocomplete just helps me extract my thoughts from my head in a better and more effective way.

I didnt mean to imply that the remote workers themselves are any inferior than local. I think you are right that it comes down to complexity and the degree to which projects and tasks can be compartmentalized.

I work in biotech and of my projects has probably 200 engineers and scientists working on interdependent tasks, and 10 years of accumulated knowledge. Requirement and knowledge management can only go so far, so networking becomes critical to find subject matter experts, or someone can point you to one when you need answers.

I think there is some threshold of work scale or interdependence where remote work breaks down. That is to say, any productivity benefits from remote work scale linearly and communication challenges scale exponentially. This of course assumes that there is some communication friction for remote relative to in person.

> In August, the RAF stopped recruiting 'white men'

Pause on hiring white males pushes head of British air force recruitment to resign, report says https://wpde.com/news/nation-world/pause-on-hiring-white-mal...

> Multiple British defense sources reportedly told Australia's Sky News that the head of the Royal Air Force's (RAF) recruitment office resigned over concerns an effective pause on hiring white males, in favor of people of color and women, will undermine the RAF's readiness.

> Defense sources allegedly insisted the RAF placed a pause on hiring white males in pursuit of diversity and inclusion goals.

> "You look at the head of the RAF and he's prepared to break the operational requirement of the air force just to meet diversity [targets]," one of the sources reportedly told Sky News. "I think he needs to be hauled up by the Ministry of Defence and told: This is the defense agenda, get on it."

You misunderstand some of the vulnerabilities then. Bad actors on the systems are not the only weaknesses of the system.

Other systems are potential weaknesses of your system.... But what do I mean by that?

If other systems have better ease of use while blocking 'enough' bad actors it is likely your exceptionally defensive system will fail.

"I got blocked from SYSTEM1 for no reason, hey everyone, lets go to SYSTEM2", this is risky if one of the blocked people is high visibility, and these kinds of accounts tend lead the operator to make special hidden rules that tend to fall under security by obscurity of the rules.
