To be fair, that kind of speech would alienate a lot of the public. An intelligent politician wouldn't even if they could-- unless they were running a very specialized campaign.

It's informative to look up some very old videos of George W speaking-- he sounds much more educated than he did when in office.

Now that speaking in a highly educated manner has become a signal of elite indifference (however that came to pass), I can't even say that the segment of public which is offended by it is wrong to be offended by it: Since anyone who could do it could turn it off, and they should turn it off-- the only reason they wouldn't is indifference to the people it might offend or ignorance of the norms in politics.
I think “it’s too late” is not a positive mindset, it does get harder to transition careers as time goes on but with rare exception (pro athlete), it’s usually achievable.

I don’t think “reversing aging “ would really help like you think it might. It’s not so much that people aren’t strong enough, or capable of switching careers, after a certain age. It’s that it becomes more risky as you settle down.

It’s easy to take risks when you are single and are living modestly. It gets harder if you get married, it gets harder if you own a home, it’s gets even harder if you have kids. Reversing you age isn’t going to lessen these responsibilities, other than waiting it out until your kids are self-sufficient, then you might be more willing to take risk again.

Tons of people in Florida with the same name as felons were purged right before the election. Those people were overwhelmingly black and likely to vote for gore. I think hardly anyone says that’s a stolen election, but it’s definitely a bit suspect. As far as I can tell there isn’t really any reason to claim 2020 was stolen, it’s 100% bs. No one was disenfranchised, although the house republicans tried to disenfranchise the entire state of Arizona on January 6th.

Exactly. The moment upper management utters the word 'layoff' in any context, or tries to reassure workers it's time to GTFO immediately.
I had a close call a couple of years ago when I had to travel unexpectedly and discovered that my phone provider’s new wholesaler relationship didn’t offer SMS roaming. Since I suddenly had to use a government app to get back into the country and the only MFA I believed they offered was text message, I had a little panic. Fortunately I got in with an email or something, but I quickly changed mobile providers for this reason.

It’s taken me until now to have a personal TOTP process robust enough to want to move my stuff across. When I get back from my current travels, it makes sense to try to move as much as I can to my new, synced, backed-up, personal authenticator solution.

> If increased employee protection causes you to layoff almost everyone in a country -- you probably had little good business reason to be in that country.

This kind of directly speaks to the commenters point. There may have “little good”, but enough reason until the legal change to increase employee protections created “no good reason”.
It’s actually pretty easy to monitor the throughout with the right tools. The network capture appliance I use can measure microbursts at 1ms time intervals. With low latency/cut through switches there are limited buffers by design. You are certain to drop packets if you are trying to subscribe to a feed that can burst to 17Gbps on a 10Gbps port.

Market data typically comes from the same RP per exchange in most cases. Some exchanges split them by product type. Typically there’s one or two ingress points (two for redundancy) into your network at a cross connect in a data center.

Prevalence of "Long COVID" is hard to measure at this point, but based on symptom reporting, about 15% of people who test positive for COVID have some symptoms more than 2 months later.[1] More data is available for people who have had heart and brain MRI scans, which show inflammation. It may be possible to diagnose this with a special eye exam that detects inflammation in the eye's blood vessels. The tests are still very experimental, but there are objective measures of damage.

> Most of them would likely stick to Excel if our solutions are more cumbersome (which is a high bar to meet/beat, but rightfully so)

Tying this back to the top-level comment: at some point I've realized that so many SaaS would be better off as an Excel sheet, because they're fundamentally just a slower, buggier, much less productive and uglier version of one. But the point isn't efficiency and empowerment. The point is control: the SaaS forces the user to a specific workflow. One that makes it easier for developers to develop (by constraining the problem space), or for company to monetize, or for corporate to retain legibility - but rarely to actually help the end-user.

As an end user from a generation that was taught Excel and MS Access at school, I'd go as far as saying that 50+% of web applications I use would be an order of magnitude more useful if the UX was that of Excel or Access.

No, thoughts are work done. If they're directed but not deliberate, they're still revelatory.

Imagine a bunch of white tendrils in all directions, and every one of those has their own tendrils, and so on and so forth, like a system of roots, but a 2D manifestation of such. Now divide them and name them after scientific domains, imagine the white is what we know, imagine the black is our absence of knowledge, imagine the tendrils scale to what we do know and what we don't, how big do you think the negative space is? Now you say something stupid, that's off the beaten path, you cast a line and you wonder if it's worth reinforcing through investigation, and so you think more and more on it, and maybe you investigate it, and suddenly that stupid thought becomes fleshed out, and the question is answered.

You start from ignorance, we learn nothing new if you stay in the confines of the known - that is filtering, that is refining, that is ego pressing you to be right. Every statement has a thousand queries nested inside it, and for every answer borne from those...

The problem with any overpopulation or growth-limit push argument is that since interstellar travel is a very, very difficult to achieve, there's no reason to expect either humans or aliens to achieve interstellar travel at the point that they've encountered some limit to a process of out-of-control growth. Space colonization is certainly not going to solve global warming, etc.

Indeed, if human society is a guide, a society that develops interstellar travel would have to have reached a stable situation, so stable I'm not sure if massive expansion would seem desirable.

Reinventing the browser should be simplifying it to only what it needs to be: executing + rendering remote code in a sandboxed window.

Make a new browser that is just WebGPU + WebAssembly, no more DOM. Would already run the next wave of games that will come targeting that.

Then for regular websites, have them deliver a HTML rendering engine written in Webassembly for how they want to be rendered. No more need to test websites on a range of browsers
> I guess FDR and many other politicians should have been thrown in prison

For campaign speeches before he was even in office? That's ridiculous. Once in office he used standard administrative procedure to get his way.. it probably helped that literally one month after being in office Congress, who has the right to do so, proposed the 21st amendment. This is a pretty thin example.

> How do the administrative officials implement the legislation without offering official opinions on what that legislation means?

They hire lawyers and consult with them _privately_. None of this has anything to do with using the power of your office to _advocate_ for a specific position.

> Don't they need to be able to discuss the details without worrying about prison?

Can they discuss food safety without implicating the first amendment? I obviously think they can, particularly through very broad administrative procedures already laid out by congress. This is just picking up goalposts and moving them. This argument was pretty narrowly constrained, if not slightly unhinged, to begin with.
I thought it was obvious that gdp isn't the be all and end all. "All models are wrong, some are useful" and all that.
I hate this law. There is no example of a good measure that does not become a target, nor should there be. The only question is who does the evaluating.

The typical example is: hospital emergency room wait times were made a "target" and therefore hospitals stopped admitting ambulances (literally having them circling around the block) before they had the staff freed up. But there's nothing wrong with emergency room wait times being kept low. The obvious locus of evaluation, however, was moved from the patient (who is evaluating his whole end-to-end emergency care on many metrics, including but not limited to emergency room wait time) to some bureaucrat who assesses the hospital only on the wait time.
GDP, like many economic metrics, is of course not an absolute indicator of anything significant. You can set up two shell companies and have them buy and sell the same paper clip between them thousands of times a second, for a million dollars each. It will boost GDP by quite a lot.

Of course historically, such deception has not always dominated, and the apparent GDP has been a good proxy for total genuine economic activity. Economic activity is in turn a proxy for confidence: If everyone is spending more money, it means they're confident they see value being produced that they want to capture. Consumers presumably feel they'll be comfortable for years to come. Businesses think it's time to hire staff, increase production and focus on growth. These things by themselves can be seen as positive effects, but also it means GDP is effectively a crowdsourced predictor of future economic outlook. So GDP by itself isn't that interesting, but it correlates with many economic phenomena that are of interest, which is why it's been a popular measure.

I'm sure the article's authors are well aware of this. If you look at the title closely, there's a bit of sleight of hand: It is not common to claim (save perhaps for uneducated laypeople) that GDP is a measure of national success. It is commonly understood as a measure of economic health. Most people will readily grant that economic health does not necessarily mean national success, since they can decouple in crucial ways. For example, if your previously poor country suddenly becomes colonized by major imperialist powers, the GDP will certainly be bolstered, but the social and geopolitical effects may be detrimental. But when you attack the idea that GDP measures economic success, of course it sounds insightful, since it's the kind of misapprehension that is tempting to ascribe to others and not yourself.

> Intentionally done .. as an anti-spam measure

Instagram is one of those sites, where all the content you see is either content from people you actually follow (so, friends & family, and not actual spammers), or is actual spam from instagram itself (instagram ads), where links (to advertised products) are of course allowed.

So yeah... only people who'd get the onlyfans links (or whatever other non-instagram-ad spam) would be the people actually following the onlyfans "creator" (or whatever other spammer), and those probably already know the onlyfans link too.

The companies I worked for, since the 70s, routinely posted salary data. In fact, the company I worked for in the 80s, not only posted all salaries, but all positions, criteria to advance, expected competencies per position, etc. That so many companies today do not is unbelievable to me. We had far fewer claims of salary discrimination in the 80s than when I retired in 2020.

Completely agree. I just don't understand why the author cares about some of his "axioms":

> A good markup language describes an abstract hierarchical structure of the document, and lets a separate program to adapt that structure to the desired output.

Who cares? It's trivial to generate all these other formats from HTML. The thing that's great about Markdown is it is readable in plain-text source, can be styled in any number of nice HTML presentations, and then is easy to convert to things like nice, document structured PDFs. I just don't understand the problem.

The author also doesn't really make any argument as to why a hierarchical document structure is so important to him in the first place. He just kinda states it as being of critical importance, but I can't see why, at all.
I would not be expect to get that ability. That desire is counter to the purpose of activating a YubiKey.
I'm not 100% sure if this is satire but it brought me joy.
I would very much like to see someone move htmx-like hypermedia functionality into a browser.

While innovating around the chrome of the browser is certainly nice, it seems to me that hypermedia is just a few small tweaks away from being a viable alternative to the SPA approach for many applications, and it really wouldn't be much code at all to support.
People can track GDP without optimizing for it at the expense of the environment. Although, metrics do seem to hack the human brain in such a way that we can't help but try to optimize them, no matter how useless they are.
> Nor anyone's imagination since the act of violence did, in fact, occur.

And the open question, still, is "was the violence precipitated by too much free speech? Is there literally any evidence of that?"

This whole thread is based on this assumption, and people are happy to argue a point because they "imagine" the evidence for it exists. If this is actually the case, this is absolutely stunning.
Relative empathy is part of being a regular human being.

Firefox came at a time when the web was really annoying to use, and had features to make it better. I don't think IE had even shipped a pop-up blocker at the time. But FireFox's extensibility also made things like ad blockers and Grease Monkey scripts possible, which was the only way to stay sane as a power user in that era. And tabs! That was a big one.

I think the web has gotten annoying again, in different ways, because of the thousand things that nag you on every website to click to close them or otherwise obstruct your reading (cookie banners, too). If a browser can solve that reliably, I'd switch to it.
Google does not use K8s internally.

They never did, they won't ever do that!

K8s does not scale. Especially not to "Google scale".

First step to "be like Google" would be to ditch all that (docker-like) "container" madness and just compile static binaries. Than use something like Mesos to distribute workloads. Build literally everything as custom made on purpose solutions, and avoid mostly anything off the shelf.

"Being like Google" means not using any third party cloud stuff, but build your own in-house.

But this advice wouldn't sell GCP accounts. So Google does not tell you that. They telling you instead some marketing balderdash "how to be like Google".
Why would you GTFO because there’s a possibility you might be laid off? Why not wait and see if that actually happens and collect any severance?

Adding a different listing for every job instead of role just means applicants can’t find the listing that fits them. So we end up with “senior” listings that are looking to hire engineers for 100k but would be willing to pay 300 for the perfect fit. Adding putting a range of 100-300 probably just pisses people off, especially since almost all of the offers are going to be in the 100 area since most employees are necessarily average. If you just say the range is 100-150 then the people you offer 300 probably just won’t apply.
But micro-scale von-Neumann probes wouldn't be building civilisations either - they'd be l'art pour l'art - building more Dyson Swarms for the sake of building more Dyson Swarms. The paper also only considers microscopic probes "invading" HII regions (i.e. hydrogen-rich star forming regions), not colonising space.

By "cheap" you also left out the author's assumption that "the propulsion system will require a
tiny fraction of the total gained mass to convert
into energy, which we assume could not be a problem for a Type-II civilization."

So they already start with a Type II civilisation that basically dismantled part of their planetary system to reach that state in order to... build probes that construct more Dyson Swarms? Still doesn't sound like a very compelling argument to me.

The paper also doesn't deal with the actual expansion aspect - only with the detectability of micro probes moving through- and replicating within star forming regions, i.e. not places you'd actually want to colonise - neither inside or outside of gravity wells.

> Subspecies and cultural divergence can be seen as a solution, leading to more innovation that can be shared at the speed of light.

You seem to greatly underestimate the vastness of space. Even a tiny (by Fermi-Paradox standards) interstellar realm would have worlds hundreds of lightyears apart. There's not much use in sharing "innovations" if they arrive after 500 years - not much innovation left after such a long time (unless you assume that one side stops innovating entirely for some weird reason, yet keeps listening for signals), plus it'd become increasingly harder to even keep a common cultural understanding given the temporal and spatial distances. Language changes over time, for example.
