But that 'junk' literature you are describing that people like isn't inherently designed to be deceitful in the sense that people who want something else are its target.

When you replace 'catering to a certain audience by being good at doing something they want' with 'catering to a certain audience by being good at selling them something they don't want' then you have created a system in which supply and demand is no longer operating properly.
This actually doesn't make sense and the understandable extent is not true.

The difference to me between Minesweeper + Solitaire and the Candy Crush incident is that Candy Crush was developed by a third party and, more importantly, is designed to be addictive and separate users from their money. The point of putting Candy Crush on Windows machines was to lure new people into playing Candy Crush and hopefully giving King + MS money. Microsoft is providing access to its users to third parties for profit.

The point of putting Solitaire + Minesweeper on the machine was to demonstrate the OS's capabilities + get people used to using either a computer or a GUI. Solitaire and Minesweeper were installed for the user, Candy Crush was installed for King.

Is that what made these tech workers slack on their job? I'll be the first to tell my manager and HR about bad employees, especially the ones that drop the ball so frequently.

It doesn't seem like I get any concessions for picking up their slack, so I make it a point to tell others that I am taking up their work and take credit. I don't wish for them to benefit from my benevolence, that's really just me getting stepped on by someone I thought I could rely on myself.

If these 'workers' could get fired more often, I applaud this psychological manipulation from the Tech CEO.

macOS is a UNIX, but it's not Linux. It doesn't use X11 or Wayland, any more than Android does.

If you removed Quartz, there would be no GUI left.

If that's what you want, then there is Darwin out there.

There have been various efforts to make it run as a standalone OS with X11:

• Pure Darwin: http://www.puredarwin.org/

• Open Darwin: https://archiveos.org/opendarwin/

• Next BSD: https://github.com/NextBSD/NextBSD

> Most of the discussion around farmers over here has to do with nitrogen.

Yes, and nitrogen fertilizer yields nitrous oxide which is a greenhouse gas implicated in climate change [1]. This is not just "misinformation", this is part of the reason behind the push to ban nitrogen fertilizer.

Google Drive is the first stop for media piracy all across the internet.

I don’t think I’m going too far to assume they have some pretty significant automatic enforcement mechanisms, especially when it comes to trademarked/copyrighted media.

In fact, from the first result I can find:

> Google Drive matches the hash of copyrighted video content with files that are stored to identify pirated content [1]

File hashes seem like the tip of the iceberg, IMO. I mean, the original video was posted on YouTube, so Google presumably has access to some DEEP info on that media.

Yup. Visited the US Midwest (Minnesota) recently and driving from the airport city to another smaller city, started going out into farmland.

At first, it seemed like a nice bucolic change. But soon, it took on a far darker aspect - this was a barren monoculture, as far as the eye could see, for dozens of miles. Where to the birds, reptiles, amphibians, mammals, and insects live? The land is not only covered with chemicals to kill or repel any now-unwelcome residents, but there is simply no usable habitat (and a thin row of trees every mile or so doesn't count).

It was a truly dystopian experience, and more so by knowing that this goes on for thousands of square miles. This is not our grandparent's farmland anymore. This is not nature. This is one species becoming a literal plague on the planet. It is not sustainable.
Seem to have forgotten to write unit tests.

One of the exceptions, nuclear pacemakers using Pu-238 or Pm-147.

"The History of Nuclear Powered Pacemakers" - http://large.stanford.edu/courses/2015/ph241/degraw2/

> Despite the often longer life-expectancies, nuclear pacemakers quickly became a part of the past when lithium batteries were developed. Not only did the technology improve, allowing for lighter, smaller, and programmable pacemakers, but doctors began to realize that this excessive longevity of nuclear pacemakers was excessive.

Yeah, but is that really true? I mean, I get that Eliza didn't enjoy the process, but there's no way of firing someone that they'll enjoy.

Severance packages go a long way. Last week I randomly met someone who was recently laid of from Peloton. They seemed pretty happy to move back to their home state with a lower cost of living where 6 months severance could last two years.

As I typed that out I just figured out how to sell this idea to upper-management. As a manager it must be hard to fire someone, especially when you know they support a family or just bought a house or whatever. If low level managers knew the people they fired were going to be given generous severance packages, they might be more likely to let go people that are under performing. Which could help the company overall. Though I suppose you would have to watch out for people slacking off on purpose when they are getting head-hunted for a new job.

Contract law has changed over time and country to country. Your position is simply that what’s written is what’s right? That’s extremely reactionary
I think that’s a counterpoint we need to hear more to the current ’reduction’ narrative.

Small nudge to push innovation in a positive direction is an important tool, but we are getting overboard with control and regulation.

Here in Québec the law forbid plastic bags in stores, but plasticulture, packaging is a far worse problem, the law is virtue signaling instead of pushing for meaningful changes.

There is strong case to be made for progress, more energy, more food, more housing for the whole planet.

In a 100 years we will be so far away in technology that our current problem will seem like a joke.

But I think it important to be careful with things that could never recover: ocean and land diversity, contamination of groundwater/soil.

I do think that companies have an interest in knowing if you have a side hustle, in order to make sure there is no conflict of interest. And failure to disclose is a big deal.

Barring that, I don't like "full time and attention" clauses. As long as you provide the services to your employer that you agreed to apply in exchange for your salary, there shouldn't be an issue.

I owned a business that was my primary source of income for 15 years and continued to operate for 4 years after reentering the work force. I disclosed it to each every employer and had no issues at all. The only questions are typically "what does it do? (i.e: does it compete with us?)" and one employer asked "how much time does it require of you?"

It might vary among industries, but in the tech industry it is pretty common for people to have side projects - including income generating ones. As long as you disclose what you're doing and there is no conflict of interest then, in my experience, employers are pretty lax.

And since we're talking about full time jobs, and not owning businesses, there is also the option of going independent as a contractor. Some companies might still try to get you into an exclusive contract, but it's standard to contract to an hourly arrangement and then you can pick up as many contracts as you're comfortable juggling and work the exact amount of hours you want to. I would still disclose and turn down contracts if there were a conflict of interest, for ethical reasons, but from a logistical point of view more people should consider that if they want to work more hours and have that type of flexibility.

> Saying you'd rather be fired is such a privileged position to be in.

it is rather generous of you to completely invalidate her opinion/views because they don't match yours.

I guess in her opinion, given a choice of being dehumanized and forced to quit, or being fired upfront she would rather "rip the bandaid off quickly" and be fired instead.

The end result was the same, she left but didn't need to be forced to quit first simply to avoid paying her severance.

People have different experiences, her's was she would rather be fired, perhaps you would rather be shuffled around and forced to quit instead and that is just fine.

I'm not saying that exa, or fish, or ripgrep, or any other trendy tool is bad.

If you assume the that the plastic production happens regardless and look at the end outcomes for the already-created plastic, i would say yes. But in that context, recycling could (in theory) reduce the demand for further plastic production so it's still better.

Still, if we're looking at comparative effort for GHG reduction, I agree in principle that landfilled plastic might as well be considered nearly carbon neutral: extracting oil, creating plastic, then landfilling the plastic is a "closed loop" in the sense that the carbon starts in the ground and ends in the ground (minus waste in the intermediate processes, of course). It's not "sustainable" because we don't have infinite oil, but it's not going to be the primary cause for climate change.

This is in contrast to using fossil fuels for energy and transportation, wherein we extract oil/gas from the earth and then burn it to transform into heat, electricity, or kinetic energy for your car. In all of these, the carbon's end state is in the atmosphere, which is worse than a landfill.

To that end, I would much rather spend effort tackling petrol cars, oil and gas heated homes, and fossil fuel power plants. Plastic is an ugly problem, but not the worst problem.

You're paid for the value you bring. Sure, part of that value might be that you're available to deal with things as they pop up, but at the end of the day you wouldn't continue to collect a paycheck if it was decided the value you bring was no longer worth the pay.

As long as you deliver acceptable value to your employer and show up to meetings you're expected to be at, time spent should be a total non-factor

"Globalist elites" is an old dog whistle. Because the EU can't be blamed for the ruling party's failures any more, GB News (UK's InfoWars) had to recycle the old scapegoat.
The linked study uses data from peasant farms in developing economies (Madagascar, India, etc.) from half a century ago or earlier. From the point of view of the west, that it would be measuring the productivity of very very small farms vs very small farms where the vast majority of labor is done by hand. Skimming over the article it seems that it concludes that under pre-mechanized conditions, larger farms have less available labor per unit land area. And that labor per unit land area is an important factor in agricultural productivity. This is hardly a surprise.

This is very much not like how farming is done in developed nations or even most developing nations today. And unless you want to force people to live like dirt poor peasants of the past, hopefully won't ever be done again.
The average American uses "Britain" as a synonym for both the islands of Great Britain and Ireland, and the sovereign state called the United Kingdom. Yes, it's "incorrect" to you, but the NYT's audience is Americans, so it's fine.

Curricula are typically designed for learning, not to guarantee outcomes on standardized tests.

"But...we want a way to measure!"

Keep thinking that way and you'll end up with a test prep industry for fourth grade. Take it from an immigrant who comes from that culture and hopes American schools don't get it any time soon.

If you really want to measure progress on history and geography, you have to measure minor intangibles like whether your kid can find their neighborhood on a city map, or can recognize similarities between strategic problems in history and the problems that they face. I at least have not heard of any meaningful attempt to measure minute aspects like this, but would be interesting if there were any.

As the article discusses, a lot of the time stems from the procedures in the union contract rather than arbitrary delays. Mohamed's case takes 45 days to hear, and only 5 of those days can be scheduled per month, so that's 3/4 of a year just spent conducting the actual hearing. (Perhaps the hearings are excessively long, but it's hard to imagine that the school system is pushing for that.)
