It's funny that that anti-globalists like to frame it as them caring about the "poor sweatshop workers" without considering the sentiments of those workers. They think that taking away the little economic choice that these people have would be a great boon for them.

Globalization isn't just good for developing nations, it benefits developed ones as well. American's dominance in technology, finance, and entertainment would not be possible to sustain without it.
Sodium is both heavier and less energetic, enough so that the equation points to a worse car: heavier than a car which goes substantially further.

Sodium cannot improve lithium by replacing it in batteries, for physical chemistry reasons which can't be negotiated.

I don't consider it likely that lithium will become so much more expensive that people will want their second-largest purchase, a car, to be inferior in the way that it must be with sodium batteries.

Rather more likely that cheap and good sodium batteries relieve pressure on lithium supply for the enormous amount of battery storage we need to handle intermittent renewables.
You gotta take a higher perspective. Sure maybe those murderers deserve it. But what is the net benefit to society while those murderers are in prison and after those murderers are released?

Ironically, research and actual events show that treating criminals with humanity actually yields a net benefit.

I have! I once found a bug that was caused by a typo in a linting commit, something obviously unintentional. If it was squashed it would have taken a lot longer to figure that out.

I also recently found issues in a common python 2 and 3 library where the code was broken in py2to3 and first-run-of-black commits. More places where it was obvious how and why the code was wrong because the formatting was a separate commit from the feature.
Great links.

> interest rate costs have gone about as low as they can. Another part is by depressing real wages. The only way for profit growth to continue on this model is to further depress real wages.

The third variable is taxes -- we could always reduce sales/income taxes, and replace them with economically efficient taxes like the land value tax.

PKD is my favorite writer of all times. I believe that even for his greatest works the writing could have been more polished, way better. The thing is PKD does not get you with the form of the writing but with the ideas that he captures. Truly visionary.

You are correct that "reasonable accommodations" are, in fact, reasonable and don't have to be exactly what a disabled person asks for (though listening to people when they tell you what they need is important).

> Ordering via phone could be an acceptable accommodation for an inaccessible website

A particular person may find ordering by phone to be acceptable but in court cases, it has been found to not be equal to using an accessible website. One example is in the Domoino's case [0] (it references experiencing long hold times but there are other reasons it is unequal).

I find it really odd how many people abhor the death penalty and capital punishment as a whole, while also tolerating life in prison and solitary confinement. I don't view executing someone as worse than forcing them to spend their entire life living in a concrete cell, under the mercy of cruel guards, until they die. Especially if that process includes year long stints without seeing a single person.

Perhaps we should have neither? I understand that many people are uncomfortable with having someone who committed a heinous crime walking free, but there should be some way of giving back one's freedom and one's humanity after a while. Someone who committed a crime at 19 is a wholly different person at 50. Even if we can't give them total freedom, there should be an opportunity to live in nice conditions, to earn a proper income, to cook one's own food.

The OP's comment implies that GM is responsible for this trend, whereas they may simply be trying to meet consumer demand. Many consumers would like their cars to feel as "premium" as a Tesla and they are willing to vote with their wallet.
It was also one of his last novels and most personal, both factors probably influencing its quality. The Linklater adaptation is particularly good and faithful, nearly every scene is close to verbatim from the book.

One unreasonable person can ruin a lot of things. You’re never getting around that. I wish ADA wasn’t handled by lawsuits, but everything is the US is a fucking lawsuit…

The problem I have is many businesses don’t even try in the first place. They don’t know anything about ADA and point to the one unreasonable person as justification to do nothing.

There are far more businesses being “unreasonable” than there are people filing ADA lawsuits.
Note the article early on states:

> "This note's key finding is that the reduction in interest and tax expenses is responsible for a full one-third of all profit growth for S&P 500 nonfinancial firms over the prior two-decade period"

Even if accurate, where is the other 2/3 coming from? You'd think the primary issue would be more explicitly noted. As far as China, their escape from famine-level poverty took place well before the neoliberal outsourcing program adopted China as one of its preferred sweatshop zones (along with Mexico, Indonesia, India, Philippines, Bangladesh, Honduras, etc.) - it really began with importation of ammonia fertilizer factories in the 1970s under the Nixon agreements, which really ended the famine era. The big change wrt the USA and China took place in 2000-2001, with WTO membership. While NAFTA had already been gutting the US manufacturing sector for the past half-decade, the explosion took off after that (just look at any major box store and count the items with 'made in China' labels).

Fundamentally, the neoliberal project is all about 'liberating' international pools of capital from the restrictions (tariffs, sourcing requirements, capital transfer fees, etc.) imposed by nation-states, as a means of putting more and more wealth and power in fewer and fewer hands. It's profoundly anti-democratic in nature, and should be ended.
It would have done the world a lot of good, had the WTO, EU and US actually taken massive reaction to Chinese price dumping politics. Instead, all we got was a bit of verbal acrobatics.
Apparently, a comment on the TSR-2 [1] was that it was too heavy. The problem was that the manufacturer misinterpreted this and instead of just going away and designing a smaller aircraft they spent a lot of money trying to make the existing one lighter.

They can and often are used for the same tasks. I ported code from Pyton to Rust several times to improve performance or memory usage. Both languages are fairly similar when it comes to syntax, language concepts and many Rust libraries are inspired by Python equivalents.

Dear Andreas,

I've been following Serenity for a while. Thanks for your educational expertise humbly conveyed in your videos!

Could it be beneficial for your company to be set up as a foundation? Since it is not "selling" Serenity, merely taking donations anyhow? I don't know the Swedish system but I wonder if that could provide tax advantages to donors and workers?
If you have your own companies, you can pay yourself Director's dividends instead of being employed and drawing a salary. Again depending on the country, that may be advantageous - tax-wise, and also not having to do payroll.

Keep up the good work!
Every Vietnam vet I've spoken with has been mostly seething with righteous anger that our evil politicians lied us into that stupid evil war. It was supposedly to stop Vietnam from allying with "communist China", but the moment they beat us Vietnam went to war against China. Our war actually delayed that war!

Also it is pretty disgusting that CIA (or, as the latest agency-approved "conspiracy theory" has it, "rogue elements" of CIA) killed Kennedy to make sure we fought that stupid war. Then later they killed his brother because as president he could have done a real investigation. Why is Biden still breaking the law by not releasing all documents publicly? Why did Trump break the law and his own promises in the same way?
A common misconception about the US is that the US is only 110V. 220V service in homes in America is standard, it's just that standard power plugs around the house get 110V because of split phase breaker boxes. This lets 220V be available for large appliances like Washers, Dryers etc using the full phases, and 110-120V to the rest of the house using only half phase.

In my next house, I think I'll request a 220V outlet in my kitchen with a UK style plug, so I can have my fast tea kettle.
That's fine. Good luck with your endeavor but I still think you should contact some friends and family. If that's not possible then a helpline might also be beneficial: https://sczaction.org/helpline/ (toll-free number: 800-493-2094).

We can also continue this thread if you want but you'll have to make more coherent points about what exactly you're trying to achieve with Solomonoff induction. Most of the research on AIXI(tl) is pretty much complete. Whatever could be recovered from computable distributions and agents that learn properties of that distribution to maximize some kind of objective has already been mostly figured out by Hutter. The theory is complete so unless you have some other ideas I don't think there is anything worthwhile left to research with Solomonoff induction and computational agents based on that formalism.

I'm a big PKD fan - I also recommend reading the 1909 short story 'the machine stops' by em Forster which was incredibly prescient and I suspect informed some of PKD's thinking.

People have often pointed out this piece 'predicted the internet age' while ignoring the dystopian collapse at the end of Forsters pice, which is alarmingly similar to the current collapse of some aspects of western civilization IMO...

> That's the essence of what its dectractors (including myself) call the neoliberal economic model.

This is the economic nationalist (i.e. Trumpist) critique dressed up for polite company. You and the rest of the economic nationalists have no plan to make the lives of people in “sweatshop zones” or those desperately escaping them to the west, better. You are attempting to exploit pathos on their behalf to make their lives actively worse by shutting down the movement of goods and labor.

At least Trump is honest about it.
> Even if accurate, where is the other 2/3 coming from? You'd think the primary issue would be more explicitly noted.

It is explicitly accounted for, in TFA. ~30% (1.6%) is coming from cost cutting --so potentially sweat shops, but also productivity gains--and another ~37% (2%) is coming from an actual increase in sales, i.e. GDP growth.
When you use Bitwarden to fill in credentials, it also copies the TOTP code automatically for that account. I find it quite convenient most of the time.

That was similar to this guy - he was a good IC who ended up being over-promoted to an "architecture" role (L7). He didn't really know how to architect things, so he went for creating externalities while resurrecting old, dead projects that past people had designed for him.
The problem is not really globalization, the problem is reliance on china, Russia, the saudis, etc for critical parts of the economy. That reliance was made possible by globalization, but the reason to reduce reliance on them is not because of increased efficiency but increased security and independence.
It sounds like you just have different priorities or a different aesthetic sense than folks like me who go to great lengths to hide cables.

To me it just feels good to wake up in a visually simple environment with things out of sight. It feels like magic, in a good way, to be surrounded by performant, reliable and useful technology but to be able to see almost none of it. And I have an automatic negative reaction to visual clutter or conspicuous machinery in my house.

I don't see anything wrong with your way of thinking. I can't easily change how I feel about it and I see no reason why either of us should have to.

Edit: this makes me think about sci-fi spaceships. Battlestar Galactica vs. the Heart of Gold from Hitchhiker's Guide. One has its conduits and controls run every which way and the other is minimalist to a fault. I like them both but would definitely prefer to wake up every morning in the latter!
Somewhat counterintuitively even just talking with your phone near your face or on speaker greatly increases your accident risk when compared to talking with someone else in the car.

This seems to be because when you are talking to someone in person there are two things that help offset the risk from the increased distraction of the conversation.

First, your conversational partner being in car provided another set of eyes that might spot something the conversational distraction makes you miss. I personally saw this once where I was driving and started to pull out into an intersection after a stop sign where cross traffic did not have a stop sign and somehow completely missed a car approaching from the passenger side. My friend in the passenger seat saw it and yelled "STOP!" and I immediately hit the brakes.

Second, when you are in situations where you need to devote extra attention to the road such as dealing with heavier traffic or trying to navigate an in person conversation tends to slow down or pause naturally. On the phone the other person has no clue what is going on at the car and so conversational flow control is not as good.
That conduit would look terrible. Most people care about how their houses look. Decorative trunking exists: https://www.d-line-it.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1240-x-... , I've used it, and it blends in well enough.
It actually seems like we agree.

> Even now, the Fed ... doesn't want Americans to go through inflation.

Exactly. The Fed's current behavior shows that they probably would not have lowered interest rates so much if the resulting inflation hadn't been countered by lower manufacturing costs.

> American labor has no leverage when compared to Chinese labor

Yes, and this was, I believe, that issue that
photochemsyn was referring to. If all manufacturers making products for the American market had to obey American labor laws (and other regulations), then American labor would at least be competing on equal footing.
But it's a lot less prone to data races and other upsides so it really is contextual to your needs.

I would also push back that it has more moving parts. You'll often need to pull information and getting pushed information as well can duplicate code on both the service side and client. In practice thin events are easier to get right, despite the extra API requests.

I also think the cases where there's some kind of outage but it's an outage such that the information in the event is enough is fairly rare. I would guess it's more rare than outages that also disable event triggering anyhow.
It was fine. But when it became too popular, just like trying to search anything about other popular languages like Python, the signal to noise of SEO spam makes it hard to find the good, relevant, and up-to-DAT info. As it got mainstreamed, things like JSX got mainstreamed too despite it adding way more complexity with a veneer of familarity.
Well, perhaps they actually believe that executing them would relieve them from their punishment…

I don't think Rust is a lower-level language exactly, but it can be more cumbersome for high-level code than something like Python that has GC, duck-typing, and short-hands for things like generators and list comprehension. For a web backend, I'd actually prefer NodeJS, but you mention a constrained environment and synchronization primitives, which both sound unusual for that application.

When I used Rust, the entire purpose of the project was performance. It was a software-defined networking middlebox that's part of LTE networks. But we were doing FFI with C code. Rust was better for the larger concurrent pieces, but I still liked writing in C better for the fine-grained stuff (packet parsers etc).
One interesting technique I have seen with fiber is running it along/behind baseboards in old houses. Since it is very small (and you can get even smaller single mode fiber) it can in some cases run along side. Some people remove the baseboard and put it behind it. It creates some routing issues, but might also solve some.
These aren't dead! You can still find a variety of fast 50mm lenses, from a cheap f/1.8 for like $150 (which is still way better than most kit lenses) to a very nice f/1.4 upgrade at like $400 all the way to absurdly expensive ones.

https://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/comparisons/premium-50mm-le...

Their primary advantages:

* Amazing "bokeh" -- the quality and look of the background blur that modern phones mostly try to emulate using computational photography and maybe lidar depth sensing; but the blur effect is simulated in software vs being an actual artifact of the lens construction and aperture

* Incredibly fast, good for dimly-lit conditions or action photography

* Fine-grained control over depth of field makes the subject stand out beautifully

* Teaches you to move your body and camera around to find the perfect framing, instead of standing still in one place and using the zoom. This can often make for more interesting compositions and angles.

* Usually much lighter, especially if you go with an APS-C sized sensor in a mirrorless

Negatives:

* No zoom means you have to be able to get close to the subject. Hard to do with wildlife, some sports, etc.

* One more lens to carry around

--------------

The 50mm is so much fun to shoot. Get one!
