I think a lot of people have already been living out this hypothetical for at least a decade, both rich and poor. Why else would we be here?

Art is fundamentally about seeing your human experience reflected in a physical medium, and especially a medium other than your own thoughts. How many people are feeling bitter about how untaxed negative externalities (CO2, plastic, deforestation, water&energy security collapse) were traded for decades at the financial gain of the few? How many view ‘art’ as something primarily owned by the few? I know that “destroying art” is an uncomfortable notion, but guess what else is fundamentally uncomfortable at its core?
In FOSS, there is no ranking. There's no such thing as a junior, senior, principal, architect, staff, or distinguished engineer.

In it's purest fundamental form, FOSS consists only of minds collaborating and working together to negotiate the ascent and realization of a shared objective. Compared to $dayjob, it's beautiful this way. It doesn't matter who's behind the wrench used to tighten the bolt.

Hopefully this can inspire those who perceive themselves as "junior" to step up and learn how to dig in to produce a good result!

It can actually be remarkably fun to try getting a PR accepted to a project that genuinely interests you, and the core maintainers are generally very appreciative of such efforts.

I think it will be very hard to find “some other organization” that is universally ‘approved’ everywhere.
1. I wouldn't call a miscommunication between a handshake deal with multiple people and departments involved and the next day the exact same as a "term sheet ruse" which implies there are games being played on the actual term sheet in front of you. I would say in many industries there are terms on the final documents that don't always exactly match what earlier communications, and yes it's important to make sure they match up.

2. A new car is new as long as it hasn't had a registered owner. You can even have a new car with an already started warranty sometimes. I still wonder how you made it to the paperwork stage without seeing the car and noticing it wasn't exactly 'new new', but if you landed on a very shady salesperson it could be covered up (simply leaving the dashboard display on a trip meter instead of odometer could do this I suppose)... But once again.. I STILL think it's more of an accidental miscommunication than deception since everyone knows it will eventually be discovered. Dealerships sell many "demos" year round, and I've also never seen this drama in person even though demo sales are common industry wide.

3. Clerical errors do happen when a salesperson gives management a summary, a salesmanager loads a deal into the system, and a "finance manager" (I hate them) finished loading things so that the DMV and banks are happy. It does happen. It isn't a tactic because once again, people rarely miss a $1000 line item, or the payment going up suddenly.. so why have the drama, potential deal blow up, yada yada.. the salesperson doesn't get paid on non vehicle adds ons or fees, and management gets such a small cut of gross profit I just don't believe it's done on purpose since it has a high threshold of drama.

4. I have never seen this, and I can't even imagine how we'd get the computer system to do this. Also, the banks would reject a contract later that doesn't add up and send the deal back. And finally, who is intentially commiting this kind of fraud on a document that will forever exist in your hands and the banks hands. Would there be an easier way to get caught for some crazy fraud than having numbers not add up on a final contract?

There is no reason to lie, see ICE bans around 2030-2035. BEVs with current price and current user experience are dead end technology going nowhere kept alive thanks to subsidies. Like a Windows Phone in the world dominated by Android and iOS. Like a 3DTV which nobody asked for.
No need to speculate, the article clearly outlines the reason behind all of this - it was an FTC mandate that failed.
This is a strawman argument, nobody here advocates against feedback.

> It’s low-skill — you don’t need a 4-year degree and aspirations to get into it. You just need to want money, and have no better options.

So there is your answer. People have better options.

And prices for labor at the bottom have increased for almost all jobs at the bottom of the pay scale. Fast food, landscaper, bus driver, daycare worker, etc.

The obvious cause would be a reduction in supply of labor willing to do the jobs at the bottom of the pay scale.

I would expect the trend to continue as the labor force participation rate continues to decline, partially due to decades of lower and lower birthrates not offset by immigration and automation.

But the open source code is still there, the community is always able to fork and continue development. True, that rarely happens, but does occasionally (e.g. Emby -> Jellyfin).
your first point is true and works well if you have a good team or company culture. you have to know when it's not effective, though. some people or groups will try and dominate conversations and if you don't adjust and interrupt (usually loudly), you'll never be heard.

>"oomph"

Yeah, I think James Webb (being amazing) and resolving so much more stars in these photos kind of removes the oomph of original Hubble photos that showed seemingly lonely cosmic monoliths in largely empty void Which made the subject feel more sublime. New photos have so much stars which everywhere, shifts the enormity of structures onto the sheer abundance of the background universe. It makes the subject feel smaller by revealing just how much bigger the cosmos is. Amazing in a different way.

Fun but probably useless as an actual compass for navigation with maps which requires higher accuracy.
This is a tough problem to solve. One approach I’ve had success with for this kind of “diffuse accountability” problem is to make this a rotating role that one person does. Eg if you have a release per week, have a BuildMaster hat and part of the job is figuring out which things to backport. The hat rotates so people take turns thinking about the thing a lot, instead of everyone having to spend a couple cycles on it. If someone is wearing the hat and messes up then that is a more focused performance problem you can pinpoint and remedy.

Of course this doesn’t always work for every problem, just an idea that may work for some instances of this kind.
We've optimized since Ignaz; now, you only have to infect and then cure yourself to win a Nobel after being doubted (https://www.nytimes.com/2005/10/11/health/nobel-came-after-y... the scientist actually infected themself with helicobacter pylori, got sick in the predictable way, and cured it with antibiotics)

The process by which DNA was convincingly demonstrated to be the molecule of hereditary was fairly complex; an early experiment that was complex and hard to understand did so, but people didn't completely believe it so a later experiment that was easier to understand was done.

For the longest time, the establishment believed the functionality of the ribosome (a critical subsystem that translates mRNA into protein) was carried out by its protein subunits. Although convincing data was published in the 1960s, the general belief did not change until the crystal structure of the ribosome was published showing that RNA formed the catalytic component.

And my personal favorite, it was considered unpossible that prions could be caused by proteins that misfolded and caused other proteins to misfold, it required absolutely heroic efforts in the face of extraordinary pressure to establish the molecular etiology of prions in the minds of the establishment.

It's hard to change your mind. Some people never will.
I agree with this, and I hope a simple comparison of photos from the two telescopes does not capture headlines anymore. I hope the next story to hit the top is one about something new we learned due to JWST, which I am sure is already happening but maybe not grabbing our attention the same way.
It's possible through deconvolution with a model of the "point spread function" aka PSF. There are techniques from radio astronomy (where interferometry necessitates some kind of Fourier basis model and deconvolution/imaging procedure) which has been extended to the optical domain.

This is a really impressive colorizer. Don't feel guilty monetizing.
I was wondering something similar - could it have been that in the first half of 2020 people put off having a kid and then after lockdowns were lifted, made up for lost time?

For a little more cynicism, that fits with their finding that the "boom" was most pronounced for first-time parents, aka the ones that weren't stuck home with their kids...
It's still punishment to not be allowed to leave your home. Not as uncomfortable as prison, obviously. But this gets into whether the main goal of prison is to cause physical discomfort as punishment or to protect society. When you look at the routine nature of beatings and rape in prisons, whether or not you are okay with people receiving that as punishment you have to admit that those aren't the punishments prescribed by law. The law doesn't say that a prison must make the prisoner suffer physically (in fact, it mostly says the opposite, but that's generally ignored). And one man's punishment is another's delight. There are criminals who thrive all too well in prison at the expense of others less well connected. For them, being locked at home might be the greater punishment.
Yeah, people underestimate how important the US/Soviet rivalry was towards the overall ambition of American policies. Having poor quality infrastructure and a poor disgruntled populis was unacceptable as it would be taciturn to admitting defeat. As soon as we lost an enemy, we lost a large amount of institutional motivation to be exceptional

Related - The Church of Interruption [1].

> When people are interrupting each other - when they're constantly tugging the conversation back and forth between their preferred directions - then the conversation itself is just a battle of wills. But when people just put in one thing at a time, and trust their fellows to only say things that relate to the thing that came right before - at least, until there's a very long pause - then you start to see genuine collaboration.

I think that's the meat of the collaborative conversational spirit. Interruption/waiting is one axis, another nearly orthogonal axis is continuation/abandonment of the current topic which correlates more strongly with actual listening rather than politeness.

In terms of [1], I've definitely encountered "civil barkers", who will never interrupt you verbally (but usually offer increasingly strong nonverbal cues that they want their turn), then very weakly link into a new topic. That is to say, waiting isn't a sufficient (nor I'd say necessary) condition for constructive conversation. E.g. the Trump/Hillary debate, when asked to say something nice about each other, Hillary immediately pivoted into talking about her platform.

That's pretty similar to this idea, which I already mentioned:

> People talk about EVs putting power back into the grid. Frankly I think that's a pipe dream in the near future. Our power companies are barely competent enough to run the grid without causing forest fires -- they aren't going to be capable of implementing that at the kind of scale that would make a difference anytime soon.

It's not realistic to expect a broken utility like PG&E to pull that off anytime soon. Most utilities in the United States are as bad as, or worse than, PG&E.

Another aspect of this, which I am going through myself with my own EV charger install at my new house, is that many homes need retrofitting to be able to charge an EV or install one of those batteries. I need my electrical panel replaced.

Every other house in my neighborhood was built at the same time by the same builder and is going to need a new panel too, if they haven't done it already -- and we aren't talking about old houses, these were built in the 1960s. For many homes, a charger or a battery will require $4k-6k of additional upgrades.
The degree to which the science is settled varies wildly by topic and that’s ok. Nutrition is perceived to be filled with a lot of junk, but without dietary vitamin C you will die. That’s settled even inside a field filled with debate.

Individual papers where never intended to be the final arbiters of truth, that’s not their role. If nobody thinks things are worth looking into again then stuff stays in a very nebulous state which is no worse than where things where before a paper was published.
Uhm, I referred to the german experimental ship from the 70ies. I actually don't know which type of reactor and fuel the russian icebreakers are using.

You’re right, I had forgotten while leaving my comment but it’s the closest that I can think of. I haven’t used it extensively since the official API became a thing so perhaps worth revisiting.

Also, apparently one advice that keeps showing up from successful entrepreneurs is to build a strong friends network from different places you've worked in. Changes are those people, apart from just being your friends, will probably help you on your next adventure and forward. School is definitely another big one, but once you're out, it's over. Now, if you're stuck at home, it becomes a bit harder to build that bond.
No, price gouging is actually a thing which means a thing - it's not a term you can just apply to whatever you want.

Most states define it as charging inflated prices during a crisis or emergency, not simply raising prices beyond what geraldyo thinks is reasonable.
Universal WFH put more stress on the power grid in California during the lockdowns than was normally the case, because everyone was running their heat and AC more often than normal. The result was rolling blackouts.

I think the thesis is that positive consent of less-privacy leads to less-privacy for people who have less power of consent, possibly because the expectation of privacy is a social construct of the more powerful and influential.

To respond to your thought-question about adoption of surv-tech in places where it isn't common: Taken outside a privacy context, in many small towns locking the doors to one's car or house is not a norm. I grew up that way. When I visited my big city cousins the emphasis on locking doors struck me as odd. If one lives in such fear then one has a larger problem than locking a door or not.

Another privacy

Incredible service. Just annoyed once I show it to my folks I'll be dragged into multi hour tutorial session on how to scan / upload old albums. Also curious which "filter" they feel will most reflect the subjective reality of the past.
I’m not missing that at all, they did some novel stuff like their work with phages. But the whole of their nuclear industry and several others were built on NKVD theft. And the all of it was fueled by grain stolen from Ukraine and mines and logging camps full of millions of slaves. The brutality in my opinion overshadows everything else.
> "the grid" (?) will look dramatically different in 13 years.

I don't think so. It takes forever for anything to get built in this country. I have zero confidence the grid will improve fast enough to make mass EV adoption practical in many parts of the US. During the intervening period we will see higher energy bills, rolling blackouts, and rationing.

I mean, if our governments and utility companies were good at building this sort of thing, then why are the power grids in such a poor state today?

Europe is in the midst of an energy crisis the likes they have never seen. And a fair part of the issue is they have spent the last decade divesting from oil and gas without lining up any viable alternatives.

Europe is now on track to burn more coal this next year than it ever has in the history of the continent.

These groups are throwing a hissy fit because they would rather debate things that don't actually matter than to answer hard questions about why they oppose nuclear energy or carbon taxes.
