Robert Kennedy, on the campaign trail in 1968:

"Too much and for too long, we seemed to have surrendered personal excellence and community values in the mere accumulation of material things. Our Gross National Product, now, is over $800 billion dollars a year, but that Gross National Product - if we judge the United States of America by that - that Gross National Product counts air pollution and cigarette advertising, and ambulances to clear our highways of carnage.

It counts special locks for our doors and the jails for the people who break them. It counts the destruction of the redwood and the loss of our natural wonder in chaotic sprawl.

It counts napalm and counts nuclear warheads and armored cars for the police to fight the riots in our cities. It counts Whitman's rifle and Speck's knife, and the television programs which glorify violence in order to sell toys to our children.

Yet the gross national product does not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their education or the joy of their play. It does not include the beauty of our poetry or the strength of our marriages, the intelligence of our public debate or the integrity of our public officials.

It measures neither our wit nor our courage, neither our wisdom nor our learning, neither our compassion nor our devotion to our country, it measures everything in short, except that which makes life worthwhile.

And it can tell us everything about America except why we are proud that we are Americans."

You don't "file" a WARN act notice. You directly give the affected employees notice.

Or much more likely you give them 2-3 months severance which is basically the same as saying "you are laid off in 60 days, don't bother coming back to work". Technically they would be breaking the law but the severance would count against the damages under the WARN act so there's no reason to go to court about it.

EDIT: You might have to file with an elected official actually, the website is a bit unclear: https://edd.ca.gov/en/Jobs_and_Training/Layoff_Services_WARN
Did Blow really finish the compiler? Got a link?

Last time I checked (a couple of months ago) there wasn't even a formal language spec yet.
Swap two variables using XOR:

x ^= y;
y ^= x;
x ^= y;

Check if the number is even:

x & 1 == 0

Oh, another "FP". Nice one!

This time much less weird as the last one I've seen. :-)

http://www.fp-system.org/

Maybe the authors like to connect?

As I'm here maybe someone can explain something I didn't found an answer until now: How does FP relate to data-flow languages?

"Classical" data-flow languages are quite different on the surface but fundamentally their inner workings look like data-processing pipelines. FP expression also look like data-processing pipelines… How is this related? Also, if the fundamental paradigm would be data-flow, why nobody designed a (functional) HW description language around that? It would be a perfect match I guess because hardware is all about signals flowing though processing elements! (Something like Haskell's Clash is imho a worse fit as the fundamental semantic of Haskell isn't data-flow; using lazy lambda calculus to model HW doesn't look like a proper fit; there's a quite large "impedance mismatch" you need to bridge first).
As another great example of this: hurricane Katrina was a huge stimulus for economic activity in New Orleans, measured in terms of GDP.
>What makes you think that previous management needlessly employed unproductive workers when they could have easily not done so?

They probably don't know who the unproductive ones are anymore because without a fresh look at things they can't think about it objectively. They give tasks to people and they get done at the same speed as they've always been done with. How do you suddenly decide: Hey actually guys, I know we were working like this for 6 years but actually, we should be 40% faster on every single task so... you know.. start working faster please and everyone who doesn't gets fired.
It's just not realistic for existing managers to do this for so many reasons. Unless absolutely forced by financial realities which was apparently never the case for Twitter.
Is there some specific advantage gained irl by hugging the wall like this? I can’t tell from the video what he achieved by it.
This might be a naïve young person take, but consider that we're in very early days of 'people with passwords dying', really. Nobody has grown up with digital assets and died of 'old age'.

I don't want to overstate the value of random digital assets, like you say your Steam library or Reddit account likely has far more (even exclusively) value to you, but many things that do have sentimental value, or might for some, are ever increasingly digital where they historically obviously weren't.

Even just correspondence that might make it easier to sort things out is now predominantly email. (And to my point above, more recently born people more likely to have opted in to 'paperless'.)
If someone told you you are a ‘hiring manager’ but you don’t have responsibility for the budget that hire comes out of, they are lying to you to make you feel important.

Hiring requires money. If you have to go ask someone else for that money, they are the one doing the hiring.

>It also provides nestable, generic containers as a syntax extension.

That’s what I’ve meant: markdown syntax doesn’t allow for this, which requires every extension to be syntax extension. Djot’s span&div do address this problem.

Once you learn that everything can be looked at in the frequency domain, things can get pretty spicy.

DSP was easily the most impactful coursework I ever took at university. It applies literally everywhere. Information theory is at the heart of it all, and once you start to see how it all fits together, entire realms of possibilities open their doors to you. In our course we did a lot of image and audio work to help demonstrate that this concept applies to any domain. Discrete/continuous time domain, Some array of bytes on disk, doesn't really matter. You just need some rational way to quantize & sample your data.

Also, as you get into control theory... more matrices! You can use state space representation (a matrix) to represent the entire valid control space of an N-dimensional system (albeit one that is LTI and where N < infinity).
We're talking past each other. I agree with you. But the ultimate benchmark will be the stock performance, not Zuckerberg's willpower.

Everyone is talking about this from the perspective of cushy tech jobs and forgetting that this applies to _all_ job postings. The vast majority of the population isn't bargaining from nearly the same position.

These benefits that we're experiencing by being able to just walk away from an onslaught of recruiters begging anyone with +5yoe don't apply to other job sectors or even entry-level positions in tech!

Can you bring it up early? Yeah. Should it be in the job listing? Absolutely. I've yet to see a convincing argument otherwise.
So if passive income is the rational goal, shouldn't that be the measure of national success - numbers that express the shape and scale or aggregate passive income. It's also worth assuming that the equity barons (to borrow a term from The Diamond Age) hire capable administrators close to home, who get cushy office jobs and even small profit to invest and get a little equity themselves. One can also discuss more and less desirable distributions between the equity barons and admins. The rest of the world gets nothing, or as little as is necessary to keep the peace, and America remains in undisputed charge until some natural disaster ends human life. And absent any particular reason to spread life beyond our thin and fragile biosphere, we won't.

Rather than paper over the ugliness I think we should accept it and see what can be made of it. A nation will have succeeded if it can spread life beyond Earth. It will have succeeded if it can protect it's citizens capacity for a calm, creative, productive life filled with wonder and joy long enough for enough people to realize this, and get to work. It's not going to be easy, and our time is limited.
It's hard to overstate how terrible this idea is.

GDP is a concrete measure that is difficult to fake. Once you start arguing about the economic value of volunteering, divorce, income inequality, and crime -- you've opened the door to never being able to trust GDP again.

Should we create new metrics to track progress? Sure. Should we stop tracking GDP? No way.

So you disagree with the principle of the paradox of intolerance?

To quote Karl Popper:

Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. — In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant. We should claim that any movement preaching intolerance places itself outside the law, and we should consider incitement to intolerance and persecution as criminal, in the same way as we should consider incitement to murder, or to kidnapping, or to the revival of the slave trade, as criminal.

It seems to me that KiwiFarms is exactly the type of "movement preaching intolerance" and they themselves have "placed itself outside the law" (cite: Moon's response to the NZ request to take down the Christchurch shooter's live stream).

So why should a tolerant society accept this intolerance?

As Popper points out: [this does] "not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies". But clearly KiwiFarms has gone beyond rational argument - they claim the right to harass people in the name of free speech.

Heat distribution as far as I can tell, this video from derbauer shows that shifting the way the cooler contacts the CPU lid (aka offset mounting) can provide drastically lower temperatures which means the cpu is allowed to draw more juice. In the video [1], there's an 8% improvement which tbh is massive; though it seems that the creator missed that, so ignore the conclusion, look at the numbers. An 8% improvement would have put AMD in the lead with intel unable to compete.

not too far from reality though, with dramatic flair & exaggeration for comedy thrown in. BTW I did not realize it was directed by the same guy who did Idiocracy (Mike Judge). when it came out I thought 'not in a millennia' and now it seems .. passable ;-).
He drove at full speed through a curve, letting him pass like 8 cars who were taking the turn normally.
It was the last corner of the last lap - hugging the wall damages your car but because he didn't actually need to tap the brakes he just kept on going, round the wall faster than the others.
I went to a PC expo of some sort in NYC in 1999 because I was in town for an interview. LCDs had just come out, but every exhibit in the hall had them because they were new but also because you could ship a whole bunch of flat screens in the same weight as a decent CRT.
he was significantly faster than the track lap record too
I got a knots app to learn a few basics that I need. One of my needs is tying up a small motorboat to a dock. I used to improvise, and just go crazy cross-crossing the cleat with the line many times, and then wrapping the line around the cleat, and on and on.

Then I learned about the cleat hitch, and watched a video to see why it worked. So simple, and it does the job perfectly. It seems too simple and light to work, but it does. And the bowline. Another very simple, elegant solution to a common problem.
A redundancy is different to being fired, and comes with a payout depending on length of tenure with the company.

Fire for cause means "you aren't doing your job properly."

Redundancy means "your job is no longer required."

If twitter restructures to save money, the jobs that no longer exist have been made redundant.

Okay, but I still don't really get it.

I'm personally not into analog photography at all, but I understand that part of the appeal is that it's simple and reliable -- a camera can be a chunk of metal with little complication and no need for batteries. It makes for a simple, solid, reliable tool that's easy to maintain and fix if needed.

Leica's approach is alien to me -- rather than being a tool it's more like jewelry you'd be afraid to even breathe on.

My idea of a camera, even a high end DSLR is as a tool for a job. It has to be able to take getting wet, getting dirty, getting scuffed up a bit and handled a bit unceremoniusly when the situation requires it because the point of it is taking pictures, not being decoration on my neck.

Yeah an OS seems redundant here if you can just write freestanding bins.
Of course this is why current employees seem to leave all the time for other opportunities rather than getting raises and keeping knowledge inside the company.

HR: "Why do we have retention problems"

Also HR: "Pay the new people 1.5x, but don't tell anyone"
Getting rid of 25% of the company "for cause" is not going to hold up in court. They'll be treated as layoffs. I think Musk just proved this by trying the same thing at Tesla.
Advertising a role with a stated salary mark of 160k when candidates are looking for 170k is precisely how you find out that your salary expectations are wrong.

Bonus: you find out before you have to go to the trouble of interviewing and extending an offer.
More common is some mostly pointless (or annoying) new feature that an overzealous project manager wants to get users to 'use' (thus boosting some metric they can point at to secure a promotion), so they have the engineers implement a gigantic popup pointing at it. Or worse, they put the entrypoint to the feature in some high touch area so all of the power users accidentally click on it, thus logging an interaction and making the line go up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodhart%27s_law
The All-In hosts gave a reasonable comment: Meta may well get a leap in humanity, but it should at least show incremental progress to the investors given such a huge quarterly investment.

Same thing on macOS. The containing app does not need to be running for the extensions to be active. You are right that the extension bundle can only be used by this mechanism, but interestingly the containing app can use its own extensions (though this may not make sense in many cases).
I have a pretty simple system in place. One family member knows the password to my computer, one trusted friend knows the password to my password manager.

Neither of them know what their passwords go to, but they know about each other, so I figure with some coordination they’ll figure out how to unlock both.

My password manager has, obviously, all of my passwords but also has some letters to family and friends and some instructions on what I want done with my body.
>In these studies, distance running does not wreck most runners’ knees and, instead, fortifies them, leaving joints sturdier and less damaged than if someone had never taken up the sport.

I would assume that the people that wreck their knees don't make it to "distant running" and stop at some point between short distance, and medium distance running.

Not saying that it's not possible to make it as distance runners for most people, but it may involve careful work strengthening and improving mobility on the way rather than naively "just keep running through the pain"

New septic systems are basically mini treatment plants. The amount of equipment it needs are pretty wild. They also (at least in NJ) need twice yearly inspections by professionals.
Precedent is when there's case law backing something. I think you're thinking of Musk's PR and decision making, not the company: there certainly isn't case law for letting go of _25% of the company, for cause_
AFAIK it is done enough to be in closed beta
Every so called “DevOps” person I have worked with turned out to be an arrogant and failed programmer who made an absolute mess out of everything they touched. While spending months doing it. And when they eventually left/got fired we would rip out their work and put a much simpler/easier to maintain solution in place instead.
Is it more unreasonable to assume the value of these things is >0, or to assume that the value of these things is ==0?

I don't think anybody is arguing that we should stop measuring or looking at GDP entirely. The article argues that we need to recognize that we can't just close our eyes to the value of these things.

It's kind of like talking about the value of a human life in dollars. We know this number is more than 0$, and we know this number is less than __POSITIVE_INFINITY__$, and we're probably never really going to agree on a number somewhere in the middle, but it's still an important number to consider.
it's true, population growth is a huge burden to prosperity. but i think it could be mitigated by building more and smaller cities, say in the 10k to 50K range. all you need is to provide companies with incentives for the first 10 or 20 years. Once the jobs go out there, the population will follow.

but it's also alot more than just population growth. you'd think there would have been at least some technological advancements in the last 200 years that could drive down the cost a little bit and instead we're up x2 to x3 or more in some areas. Something has gone seriously wrong.
This is also the shortest short track NASCAR races, its in Martinsville, VA. Known as "The paperclip".

This was a lot fun to watch. #1 Ross Chastain had to get more points than #11 Denny Hamlin to qualify. He was in 10th I think when he went full send with the wall, putting an arms length in front of Denny at the very last second to finish #5th.

Short track races are fun because the do have a lot of rubbing, but they dont nearly go as fast as the super-speedways. And just generally you dont see something like this. I understand NASCAR is gonna make a rule to prevent it, but you know they are gonna promote the heck outta this clip.

Your rabid devotion to your philosophy has blinded you to the fact that I, in fact, agree that America and the Western power hegemony has done enormous evil in the world. I was simply stating that, no, Putin and the Russian power structures (and China or any other powerful, large organization) are not any better, they are simply using the facts about the West's evils to mask their own. All powerful people use immoral or unethical means, eventually, to attain their goals.

Maybe you need to go take a walk and cool down a bit and start to try and understand the person on the other side of the screen rather than just ascribe evil intent to them immediately based on a few keywords you saw when not reading their comment.
Nope economists may not, but politicians often do (when it suits them), and many "corporate bean counters" use similar measures of "success" (when it suits them), and "Average Joe" takes whatever their favorite politician or corporation tells them as "Gospel Truth"…
Pay-for-verification could make verification a negative signal for an account. I imagine people who are marketing themselves heavily will pay for the blue checkmark, while public figures who just use Twitter for fun will pass.

Not really. There is a legal process for returning/forwarding unclaimed property.

www.Unclaimed.org,
The title/article seems to be a bit of a strawman, AFAICT countries (or their governments / citizens) do not consider the GDP as the one and only measure of national success. Politics are driven by tons of different interest groups (in the broadest sense, ranging from corporate interests, environmental activists, minority representatives, medical or teaching professionals, farmers, retirees living on state pensions, etc, etc.), not by whether some policy might give a boost to GDP. I could argue that it would probably be better if they actually did, but that's for another thread.

In truth, pretty much nobody really knows for sure what policies actually will increase GDP, or what causes the short term fluctuations (business cycle / recession) or variation in long term divergense between different countries in the first place. The more honest academic economists will freely admit this. (I was explicitly thaught so in my graduate macro-economics courses). So I think it's a strawman to think that countries/governments are engating in some kind of myopic GDP maximization plan.

I think the appropriate analogy is household or personal income. (GDP is just all incomes in a country summed up and corrected for inflation.) It's probably not the most important thing in the world, and probably not the most important determinant of personal happyness or life satisfaction. But a severe lack of it (especially compared to the people around you) or an unexpected large drop will probably be considered problematic by most people.
