I guess it depends on how long before the collapse happens, but I think there's enough accessible fossil fuels left to sustain a less than 10-figure human population for under a century while it figures out what else to do. They'd probably have to live with far more local supply and distribution networks, but global communication should still be fine.
That's an interesting estimate ;)

Buybacks are controversial but most folks agree that they do increase share price. You don't need to know the "true" intrinsic value of a company (which would require a crystal ball) as long as you reduce the number of outstanding shares. EPS increases, future dividends grow, etc. Whether it unfairly benefits large shareholders and those with performance packages, tied to share metrics, is an open question, however.

What's odd is that this was true in the 1970's as well (when MIT, Harvard, Boston college and others had all existed for over 100 years). What has changed recently? Boston didn't used to be this expensive of a city, comparatively, unlike NYC which is famous for the level of inequality going back 100 years.

It's like when people say that corporations are price gouging now because they got greedy. Were they not greedy in the past?

I think to be able to adequately judge that, you'd have to chat with some artists (or at least art critics or art historians).

We know since Eliza that generated content can be quite convincing for people who are laymen in the field. However that doesn't mean that someone with more knowledge won't still immediately view it as an imitation.

Compare the discussion about GitHub Copilot, where tech people do have the necessary skill to judge the generated code. The result was that, while we were all impressed with Copilot, it was clear pretty quickly that it didn't actually think up an algorithm or design an architecture but just meaningfully combined snippets of code from GitHub.

> Civil disobedience is a serious threat to the power of the US government.

Potentially if it could be organized.

> 19 states out of 34 states have already committed to the convention of states.

This is a non-sequitur and has nothing to do with civil disobedience nor the dissolution of the federal govt.

> The US Federal government knows all too well how to deal with violence but they don’t know how to handle peaceful mass non-compliance.

I think a lot of people would dispute this. The standard ways to deal with peaceful mass non-compliance have been known by western governments forever:

1. Split the population into factions with extremes who won't remain peaceful.

if that fails the:

2. Insert agents-provocateur into the peaceful group to spur violence.

Either way the formula is the same - turn an non-violent protest into a violent one and then deal with it as such.
There were two fork events AFAIK:

- DarkAudacity, was mostly a fork by Audacity's own lead dev for experimenting on things which might be too disruptive or polarising for the main project, that ended up being largely reincorporated in Audacity

- After acquiring the project, Muse Group drafted a proposal to add invasive telemetry and age restrictions, this led to a few forks and ultimately a reversal of course; soon after the privacy policy changed to add notes about personal data extraction to Russia and the USA, there was more outcry and this was reverted as well
I think we can agree to disagree.

People can respect you as a person, but no I don't think people have to respect different viewpoints. I can respect that you have a lived experience that differs from mine and that your viewpoint is X, but I do balance that against my own views and speak my own truth as well.

If you think that you have to respect every viewpoint that differs, think of the viewpoints of the party you dislike. Think of any of their views. Do you respect their _view_ or do you respect the person and want to allow their speech while disagreeing with it?

Me? I think the best way to deal with speech I don't like is not filtering or censorship its more speech. Anytime I see an implication that someones view needs to be filtered I think "You first."

Although I generally agree with the author's position on tackling problems that you are both excited about and are good at solving, sometimes the buck stops at you. Say you need to broach a difficult conversation with a direct report or colleague. In this case, even if there's someone else who might enjoy carrying out conflict resolution, you must be the one who handles the situation.

I have not moved the goal post. My objection in the original comment was that the discussion was framed in terms of musks' ideology vs the current non-ideology status quo. It wasn't Musk's beliefs, or world view, or political leaning, but his ideology.

The only reason its framed this way is since the comment I originally replied to disagrees with Musk. If he was coming in and doubling down on Twitter's choices it would suddenly stop being ideology.
You linked to a post that actually weakens your claim. The article is about how he hasn't said anything egregious, and how the attempt at cancelling him backfired.

Can you quote what he said, and why you think that makes him an, in your own words, "absolute dickbag"?
This is such a key insight into understanding the world in general. What you see vs what's actually going on overall are two completely different things.

What I think you're asking:

"The photon has a watch, and I have a watch. Both read 12:00.00 when the photon is emitted from the sun. What do the watches read when the photon reaches me?"

Photons take ~8 min to travel from the sun to the earth. Therefore MY watch reads 12:08.00.

The photon's frame of reference is at the speed of light though. So because of time dilation, the photon's watch reads 12:00.00.

The photon traveled all that distance without experiencing any time at all. In fact, if you, a human being, could travel at the speed of light (spoiler: you can't) without running into anything, you would live forever in reference to the universe.

> Can YT premium still have multiple accounts?

Not that I'm aware of, at least not for a single standard subscription. There's a family option with up to 5 accounts that might work, but it's probably not how that's meant to be used, so you might run into some problems. virtualenv is a good analogy, that's what I'd want as well, but I doubt that we're going to get that.
> Except those non-monetary activities don't pay the bills.

That is why the vast majority of free or open source projects are not businesses.

This is one way to kill an open source project that is new to me!

> I'm not sure they are so-called - they clearly are consumers

They do more than that (in a power-law way): the evangelize, translate docs, file bug reports, donate, provide free support online, among other activities. Reducing a community to mere consumers is self-defeating.

> you'd just have a new set of developers with the same financial problems, and Gitea would have gobbled up some Enterprise mind-share in the meantime.

Ah, I see we have a fundamental philosophical difference. I don't believe that all open source projects have to be profitable enterprises - or even a full-time job for single maintainer. A lot - I dare say most - successful projects are volunteer-driven.

All of the above. Often games will have "reduced motion sickness" settings that sacrifice some realism.

I think you're right that the actual impact is minimal.

still, I don't think it's the right choice for the brand. I'm not an apple fan, but I usually respect the company's attention to detail and overall quality standards. an entry level apple product is still supposed to be a premium offering. it should exceed most customers' requirements, not barely meet them.

How often does it happen? I cannot tell from the article.
a kid down the street from the house I grew up in moved to Hollywood to get involved in acting and changed his name but not his gender. he asked everyone to refer to him by his new name instead of his old one. how is this functionally different from someone changing their gender and their name at the same time, with regards to the name change? it doesn't matter why someone wants to change their name, they want to change their name, you should respect that.

you don't have to, of course, you can do whatever you want. but the idea that trans people get a special when-I-change-my-name-you-have-to-respect-it privilege that people who don't want to change their gender don't get access to, is completely nonsensical. you should respect the right to identity self-determination innate to all people, for whatever reason they choose, or else your moral framework is not actually cohesive at all and in fact permits granting special privileges to certain classes of people over others, which is generally understood to be bigoted, by definition.

every headline and social media post I see that contains the string "Kanye" or "Kanye West", outside of those who couch it in the context of some variation of "Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West", proves that, despite all pretenses to the contrary, there is in fact a brazen double standard when it comes to asserting one's own identity in terms of LEGALLY changing their name, and having everyone else respect it, such that trans people are supposed to get special consideration in this regard compared to everyone else, somehow.

only extremely convoluted contemporary political pseudo-logic could explain how this actually makes perfect sense, how it's okay to call him Kanye West but it's not okay to call him Ellen Page, and how those two things are Actually Completely Different Situations instead of Exactly The Same Thing.

> Are you under the impression that Ye changed his name because it was his 'slave name'?

the man has openly said as much; does his own position on his own identity not have any value to you? is that not the entire idea behind the concept of "deadnaming" to begin with?

Regardless, thanks for the comparison with PDF.js; having a useful document viewer with a small code base is a great feature. I’m interested in using this for preview when writing documents so I can control the document generation and robustness is not as required. The speed would be something to investigate, which again is much easier on a small code base.

That's not all, there are some channels where you can't even sort by most popular anymore.

From what I gather they're mostly music-related ones (perhaps in favour of YouTube's "most popular songs" playlists). Here's a random example: https://youtube.com/c/DomDolla/videos

Notice there's no option to even select any type of sort.

It makes a tiny bit of sense to use that YouTube playlist instead (for example artists may upload songs to a label's channel or something), but it's still very annoying.

I mean, I'm not mad if you want to refer to Northern Ireland as Britain, you can do whatever you feel comfortable doing! It's just a subtle thing and I feel that language is important. Reminds me of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QemYNQfix-c

To the rest of your point, it's not my fault I was born here because my family was forced to leave their homelands due to the effects of colonization (in Ireland and Algeria). My grandfather was abducted and murdered by the French due to his involvement with the FLN and the decolonization of Algeria. So that one is closer in historical time and trauma to me, but I think about Ireland quite often as well.

And yes I'm critical of US colonialism and enslavement, and this country's continued imperialism around the world. I fully support reparations to all indigenous people in the United States and the descendants of those that were formally enslaved. I've voluntarily paid land tax to Native American tribes that are indigenous to where I live (Brooklyn). It's all interdependent.

> You cannot mentor and teach good judgment.

Obviously you can. People are not born with good judgment. Every single person with good judgment was mentored and taught it by different people throughout their lives.

Perhaps you mean that you can't mentor or teach adults good judgment? This is slightly more plausible but also wrong. People are capable of learning new tricks their entire life.

But especially if we're talking about the people I think we're talking about - entry level ish employees, probably in their 20s - no, this is silly, these are exactly the people you can mentor and teach good judgement. They are hungry for someone capable of doing so!

> Management has virtually nothing to do with mentorship and teaching.

I'm telling you, you need to read a book on management. You don't seem to know anything about it, but are nonetheless opining on it very confidently.

> Books will teach you nothing useful

Hahahaha no wonder you're so ill informed. You're wrong, books are great. If you go through life trying to reinvent the world from within the bubble of your own mind alone, you are doomed to fail.
Even having this written knowledge available to us it might still be impossible to recreate the technologies; so much knowledge exists in an active state only.

I like where this is going. Most projects I've been on recently have a "hurry up and get something out" mentality. Which... I'm not completely opposed to. It's important to get some early design wins out. But the flip side of this is as you go on, you learn more about the problem domain and whether specific solutions are appropriate. You should be okay with throwing out bad code or code that internalizes old requirements that didn't survive into the present.

I once had a conversation with a "Business Guy" and I brought up the concept of "technical debt." Their response was "Oh! Great! We have lots of cash right now and can add more programmers later to pay down the debt, but only if we release something very, very fast!" -- While the concept of technical debt make sense to me, a software person, the business guy's response was "debt is something that can help you if used strategically." We changed over to using the phrase "Delivery Molasses" because the more of it you got, the harder it was to move through it.

And rather than silently stew about how "business people" don't understand software, putting it in terms they understand so you can have a grown-up conversation is worthwhile. So... happy to see someone's doing that here.
Fair enough, unless you choose to operate in, e.g., Iran. Now you have options:

1) follow Iranian law

2a) not follow Iranian law and be blocked

2c) not follow Iranian law, circumvent any blocking and be prosecuted

2c obviously wont matter much in the case of Iran, in other cases it might. And while the US wont extradite you, other countries might. And there is still the option of abusing Interpol and red notices, again maybe not a problem in case of Iran and US internet co executives.

You know who thought the same way you do? German citizen living in NZ Kim Dotcom. You know who disagreed? The US DoJ. Would be about time if other countries would do the same to certain US entities, wouldn't it?
