I looked into it more and it seems I might be wrong about the rollout. It looks like iOS rolled out the new subscription, but I didn't see if they actually added checkmarks yet. I saw a new story saying checkmarks wouldn't be rolled out until after the election. So, the original commenter might have been right that there were musk impersonators before paid checkmarks became a thing.
I'm not trying to present any case, I'm just asking a question. I'm genuinely curious.

As an employer, I am legally in hot water if my employee works for a majority of their employment outside of the legal jurisdiction in which I'm employing them. I'm not an expert on US tax law (nor am I American) but I would imagine that I'm remitting employment income tax on behalf of an employee in a given state and they are claiming spending 330/365 days out of the country that an auditor would be very interested in speaking with both of us.

I'm not aware of any scenario where you can simultaneously be employed in a given county and also never present in it. Maybe this is an American thing?

A Radically Different Model of American Education: UATX
Don't have much faith in UATX being a success (think they should've begun with STEM instead of liberal arts), but this is a really interesting idea:

"In place of large, on-campus administrative bureaucracies, UATX plans to make administration remote, outsourcing positions abroad. Not only will this arrangement save university funds, Howland noted, but it would also pay foreign workers livable, US-level wages. Further, the school will forgo—along with competitive varsity sports—what he called “club-med amenities”: climbing gyms, student recreation centers with ball pits and golf simulators, napping stations, private pools, and the like. UAustin has even rethought the principle of reserving classroom space for each academic department—at UATX, departments will have control over their budgets and bid for classrooms in a market. The money saved by this and other initiatives, Howland said, will go towards instruction."
Wow, this is amazing! Thank you for sharing.
F-droid is an oasis of good free software that I trust in the commercial wasteland that is Android. It is like Debian in that packages are not built on the developer's infrastructure. That seperation is worth a lot to me.

Barilla's definition is ludicrous, and I'm playing the Devil's advocate.

> they’re about the unshakable principle that TS must never rewrite syntactically valid JavaScript at all.

Which is starting to be a very useful principle of Typescript. Typescript knows that today it is not your bundler and tries to leave almost all rewriting to your bundler. That leaves bundlers able to strip types without even needing a direct dependency on Typescript. This is why tools like swc and esbuild written entirely in other languages now type strip as well.

This is also why the Typescript team has been a proponent for a proposal to add type stripping (or something like it) to the entire web platform. (There's a Stage 1 proposal in TC-39's process.)

You may not find that useful, but there's a growing ecosystem around "Typescript is just for types, not also for deeper transpilation". It is not just TS developer being "high and mighty" in the face of things you think they could make the developer experience easier on.
Manufactured goods generally follow this trend of increasing total money being spent resulting in a lower cost per unit. Microwaves, toasters, dishwashers, flatscreen TV’s, etc are all vastly cheaper today than when they first hit the shelves. The best example bing transistors, we are dumping vastly more money into them and getting ever lower prices.

Commodities often follow a similar trend with global Steel production resulting in lower prices per pound over long stretches of time. The trend is less obvious over short periods of time but compare steel prices every 50 years say 1820, 1870, 1920, 1970, and 2020.

> The top line is debatable, it gets into the great man theory. And FWIW Tesla literally did exist before he was involved. Credit to him entirely for SpaceX being founded, but IIRC Gwynne Shotwell runs it day to day.

Shotwell runs certain parts of the business day to day. Elon heads up new projects whereas daily operations goes to Shotwell, which makes sense given her position of Chief Operating Officer. For example, by her own words, she has little involvement in the Starship project, or didn't as of early 2021 when asked about it.

I'm about to join the 30-something club and my hairline has started to recede (temples first). To be honest, it's been around a lot longer than I thought it would be - my dad and grandfathers had little hair by age 30. Not that I've really taken advantage from a dating perspective (self-image issues are no fun).

I would like to keep it around if possible, but if the answer is more drugs with little research into long term usage, I'm not sure if I'd really be willing to make that trade-off.

Baloney. It's revenue would drop almost to zero. It would stay there until Apple arranged alternate manufacturing, and then it would come back - probably not to where it currently is, because the alternate manufacturing would not initially have the same capacity. Stock dropping 99%? No way. Others can see that Apple has a way back, the same as I can.

Look, it would be very damaging. I don't deny it. Bankruptcy, though? No. You're being an alarmist.

Same here, in fact I'm rather surprised to learn that this isn't the norm for people with ADHD, apparently.

On a related note, my office is currently doing a sort of ad-hoc, informal hybrid work schedule, so some days of the week there's very few people in the office. On those days, I find I'm so much more productive just due to the fact that there's less commotion and fewer people talking. WFH was great for my productivity as well, of course. Anyone else notice the same?

"If hard work paid off, show me a rich donkey". Truth is, stable jobs are nice training wheels for our psyche so we don't get too stressed but at one point we must roll up our sleeves and either figure out our own business, or co-found one with another person, or just devise any and all scheme for making at least 3x more money than your day-job is giving you, and for only 1-2h of work a day.

Or if I am wrong here, I can't see how.
> not at all, some subsidies are humanitarian, or purely political.

Considering that we’re talking about Apple subsidizing factories to diversify its supply chain, do you think we’re talking about humanitarian and political subsidies at all? I’m sorry but it seems that people are deliberately being obtuse here.
I've taken classes at a number of institutions of varying rigor. My experience is that less well ranked schools just do not expect the same quantity and quality of academic work as more prestigious schools, and the students at these schools are not interested in changing that. It's especially striking in math, where I saw e.g. cross listed masters level courses start off with a disclaimer that we won't be writing any proofs.

The amount of media attention to the layoffs seems disproportional to the number of people actually laid off no? 1000 people? There's high schools with more than that. Local to twitter yeah that's a big fraction. But compared to the economy? That's peanuts.

That sounds like a problem with a political system where municipalities deliberately make them less safe so they can make more money.

Most countries local governments do not derive their money from money made off tickets.

This sounds like a funding incentive problem. Not a traffic camera problem.
It's unsurprising mortgage volume is down given economic uncertainty and the spiking interest rates. As such, layoffs at mortgage originators seem inevitable.

But here's the lesson I want people to take from this: both Demorats and Republicans are cut from the same neoliberal cloth in that they both serve corporate interests. What do I mean by this? Neither pushes back on the idea that interest rates are the only way to tackle inflation.

This is false.

As we say in the GFC and the pandemic, wha tdo companies do with this money? They pay bonuses, do layoffs anyway (to cut costs) and give money to shareholders, primarily in the form of buybacks.

But what you see is corporate profits are skyrocketing. Inflation is being as an argument to raise prices, which in turns puts pressure on inflation, and all that money goes to the shareholders.

Higher interest rates increase housing costs and put upward pressure on rents (as landlords seek to recoup costs).

The other method by which this can be tackled is with taxation. Some countries have enacted windfall taxes. Taxation incentivizes investment in the business.

Yet there is no serious political will anywhere to be found for this in the US.

> We only need so many launches, especially super heavy rocket launches before we run out of payload. And if they build as many rockets as they have engines for, where are they going to store them? What about the launch pads? Etc...

The explicit goal, as has been stated several times by SpaceX leadership in the past, is for Starship to eventually cannabalize Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launches. They've said they'll keep launching them as long as there is demand for them, but there will be more and more incentive for companies/governments to stop buying Falcon 9 launches. Already SpaceX sells some launch contracts for "arbitrary vehicle" launches where SpaceX can elect to launch the spacecraft on Starship instead of Falcon 9/Falcon Heavy if SpaceX so wishes.
3 hours sounds like something is wrong. On my Pixel 7 Pro I currently have 5.5 hours of screen time with 40% battery left. Not as good as an iPhone, but certainly good enough to get through a day with charge remaining.
Well, I'm much older and you'd have a ways to go before you might find yourself in a position like mine, but Uncle Sam is standing by to give me money for existing.

But Social Security is not all it's cracked up to be, that wouldn't go far and I've got big disasters to recover from.

So I'm working hard to do without over $100K now just so I can collect more later.

But inflation's reducing the value of both dollars I'm not even collecting yet, and my paycheck's not rising to nearly make up any difference.

It's not very uplifting and I'm not even on a fixed income.

I just want to work no matter what, I guess I'm going to have to start a new company to get more out of my own efforts.

We recently placed an order for custom-built LiFePo4 batteries with various voltage and Ah ratings, including custom branding. For an entire order of 200 batteries, they assembled, packed, and shipped within 4 days.

A similar order would have taken about a month from Germany, at about twice the cost. Most of the US manufactures don't even take custom orders at our small scale.
:-) eh, it always came across to me as a repackaging of the already-existing concept of non-dualism.

But i fail to see it’s pragmatic application here. Prestige implies hierarchy, and hierarchy implies ranked measurement. But we can’t define what we’re measuring in terms of quality research or teaching. Apparently, like porn, we’re suppose to just know it when we see it. Like a lot of Pirsigs dialog, it feels a little too precious, without necessarily adding much.
Singapore does this too (very little land is freehold).

It looks great in China and Singapore because, well, the leases haven’t run out yet.

They’ve just started to in Singapore and the end result is “you have until the end of the month to leave and you receive $0 compensation”.

As a result they have to spend a ton of money on social housing and create massive disruption in the lives of seniors.

Something that converts abstract glyphs to bezier curves and projects that to your eyes deserves attention and care. Typefaces bring the abstract idea of what a glyph is semiologically, to the physical 2D space. Made up of bezier curves, the have to abide by conventions but have considerable room in expressivity as well as design intent for a specific purpose. Typefaces are fascinating and the process of designing them is underrated and unappreciated by public at large. Billions of people rely on them, they're everywhere and you interact with typefaces all day, everyday.

I just happened to see a YouTube video yesterday about how difficult life was as a baker in England in Victorian times. An average baker was not expected to live past age forty five, iirc from the video [0]. These people were working long hours so I don't know how much leisure they got.

Your comment reminded me of this video about how life for a baker used to be much better before the industrial revolution. The industrial revolution didn't do much good for bakers. I can only hope our future generations will get to live so much of a better life than us so they can look back at us and try to feel empathy for us.

That doesn't mean everybody else had it easy. In fact, at some point, it seems like one in four(?) babies didn't survive beyond age five[1]?

[1] There is a common misunderstanding about life expectancy, as though it is the age at which most adults could expect to die.

In fact, the mean length of life can be heavily skewed by infant mortality. For example, in 1850 in England and Wales life expectancy at birth was 42, but over 25% of children died before the age of five. For those who survived, life expectancy rose to 57. Moreover, 10% of people born in 1850 lived to over 80.

The context makes the news: the world's richest man offered to buy a company that was very obviously unprofitable for much more than it was worth, tried to back out, was compelled to honor his contract, and is now callously cutting every cost he can in an effort to redeem his ridiculous mistake.

Besides, this is no longer receiving front-page attention by national newspapers. The first wave of layoffs did for the reason above; this follow-on article is by a city newspaper in a city where Twitter has lots of employees. It's an obvious story.

Your example is a poor example because you’re choosing the entire population as your denominator for the per capita statistic, but the actual percentage of the population engaging in Russian roulette and riding trains is drastically different.

Whereas the percentage of the overall population engaging in and/or being affected by driving is almost 100%, so the discrepancy that makes Russian roulette seem safer than trains in your example doesn’t exist when comparing traffic deaths across countries.

Yes, it matters. The quality of education is better. Lower ranked schools don't dole out the same kind of punishingly hard material that higher ranked schools do.
