The free aka perfect market does not exist.

It's impossible to achieve in reality:

- fungible goods (i.e. stuff like toilet paper where you have 100s of vendors most people can't really differentiate much in terms of end result): good luck with that for any kind of complex good

- perfect information symmetry (i.e. the vendor and the buyer and seller know exactly the same about the product): can't happen when most buyers are individuals and most sellers are companies with full time people employed to work on their products

- low barriers to entry for vendor: good luck, in the real world you need time, capital, experience, etc to enter a market, and even when you're there, there's stuff like brands, marketing, reputation, etc

Etc.

Plus, even if this absurdly perfect model would be achieved, you still have to put stuff like social welfare somewhere in there. Why? Because some people are just plain bad at basic economics (president Truman was close to dying in poverty during his old age), and you can't just let them starve to death.
> only if human endeavor only ever builds linearly.

A lot of mathematics is cumulative, though.

And even if you can go further by going thinner (specialising more), maybe breakthroughs require lateral thinking and connections that are predicated on not being too specialised, but having breadth also. If that is the case, sooner or later we might be in trouble.
I disagree with this sentiment:

> It is harder to build something today than it used to be.

It's SO MUCH EASIER! Are you kidding me‽ 10 years ago it was much more expensive to stand up some service on the Internet and the de facto frameworks of the time did not scale very well. Now it's so cheap (and easy) to serve something up to millions of users it's practically free.

Not only that but if you're building something that uses hardware we're sooooo much better off today than 10 years ago it's like night and day. Getting a PCB prototype made 10 years ago was expensive (~$500-1500) and it took a lot longer. Today you can get bare PCBs for less than $10 (within 100x100mm) and get them fully assembled for less than $50 (depending on the components, of course). Not only that but you'll have it in your hands within a week! It's astounding.

The software available for doing hardware design 10 years ago was expensive and the open source stuff wasn't that great. Today we have Kicad 6 which is awesome. We also have embedded Rust which makes adapting your existing firmware to new hardware a bazillion times easier than with C (which is what we were stuck with for the most part forever and ever).

There are some things that are much harder today than before:

* Chip (and hardware) availability.
* Real estate is *much* more expensive. Though there's great deals on office space!
* Gas/energy is MUCH more expensive... But that shouldn't matter much to a software developer.

No, "new" would not be fine. Being forced to make an account to see certain content is not fine. Being shown one comment depth at a time is not fine. Burning vast amounts of RAM is not fine. It's a trash fire. Intentionally so, one suspects, to shepherd people towards the app. The whole reason they keep "old" around at all is because they know that "new" sucks.
"I think much of car drivers' anger towards cyclists treating red lights as stop signs is not so much the safety aspect as a feeling of unfairness that they are stuck at the light while the cyclist checks the road and then bikes through."

Not really. The anger I see is because they didn't stop at a stop sign when there are cars around.

The counter argument to this stop-check-go argument for bikes and not for cars, is that you could just as easily do this safely with a car vs a bike (some states even make exceptions for lights that are too long or for motorcycles), and a car would traverse the intersection more quickly than a bike (safer since the intersecting traffic doesn't stop, requiring a shorter line of sight than with a bicycle).

So there are really points on both sides. The biggest issue is that there need to be standardized rules, and road users need to know and follow them. I see so many near accidents at stop signs because people don't know who has the right of way. Stricter driver training and testing would by far provide the biggest safety increase given that the vast majority of accidents are due to driver error.
I have a chronic condition that comes up lot because it dominates my life. It touches everything I do, so bringing it up is unavoidable.

Early on I liked people trying to help. But after years of working on the issue, I've learned how specialized my situation is and how useless most advice is for me.

But friends & family don't have anything to offer besides the usual armchair advice. When I open up to someone new I always have to go through the phase of defending why I can't "just" do X, and that gets very tiring.

I'll get someone to understand that neither they nor I know how to improve my situation, but people eventually forget why X is off the table and I have to defend my decisions all over again.

I don't want to whine about it - I don't need to vent, and I've looked into everything anyone's thought of. It's just that this is an inextricable part of what's going on with me. If I can't talk about this with a person, I can't really talk about my life at all.

You have perfectly captured my intention. :-) ntfy is supposed to be simple simple simple.

E2E stands in the way in many ways. I have implemented crypto formats and such in the past, and the lack of a standard in this space is really blocking wide spread adoption and interoperability IMHO. That said, I have proposed a design here (https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/69#issuecomment...) that I have already partially implemented, and that seems easy enough to implement in many languages. But it definitely won't be the one-liner anymore.

> Regarding the hooks comment I’m not sure I follow. Surely components are also idempotent (if you skip useEffect) and should be replayable - that’s at least how I think react refresh can manage to keep state intact during file changes in development.

We used to have the concept of smart and dumb components, with dumb components we could test if we provide X props we could determine Y result and write tests expecting Y to be true. Now with the advent of hooks, side-effects are much more likely to be in all of our components. This makes react components impure and difficult to test as individual units. This movement started primarily with the shift to hooks.

My beef is that cyclists increase traffic congestion but don’t pay taxes to fund the infrastructure they’re using.

People that drive cars pay taxes on gas and their vehicle to fund and maintain streets but city councils around the country are expropriating lanes for cyclist use.

Cyclists should be required to financially support the infrastructure they’re using in some way. Perhaps a flat tax on bicycle sales in a municipality would do it.
I would hope that drivers understand how to interact with motorcyclists, trucks, emergency vehicles, and trains all of which have separate sets of rules and could interact with a car.
You should be asking this to yourself at least yearly regardless of your country. Your personal well being has everything to do with the neighbourhood you live in. Think of this as the 'crane factor'. If things are being built, you're not declining. I have a larger costco being built by me right now :)

If you believe your neighbourhood is in decline, you must move. Perhaps this means you move to a new city within your country, which is much easier than a new country.But if your country is the one in decline you have to go to this further pain of moving to a new country.

If you believe America is a sinking ship. Move. You can't really listen to other's advice.

I wouldn’t consider the crypto universe to be “finance”

The vast majority of finance people have been in the Matt Levine school of thought the entire time - the entire industry is a ponzi and every crypto person who thinks the way traditional finance does things is stupid will end up slowly replicating all the traditional finance structures and norms because it turns out they exist for a reason
As I said, there is version info in some of the on-disk structures. Because of the rather disastrous failure modes (a bug can destroy all files on disk) I expect drivers to be coded extremely defensively, and use it.

> A cyclist's head is much closer to the end of their vehicle, and they have a much more unobstructed view around them. By the time they are a few feet from the stop sign, they can already see much further down the street than a driver in a car could.

There are two problems with that argument:

1. Very few intersections meet the criteria where a cyclist would be able to see approaching cross traffic significantly earlier than a motorist could. In over 30 years of motoring and over 15 years of on road cycling in various locations, I have not encountered an intersection where I'm not able to see approaching cross traffic when motoring but could see while cycling

2. No one argues for treating stops as yield for motorcyclists

> Coming to a complete stop doesn't really add any more safety

It really depends on the intersection. An intersection where one cannot really see approaching cross traffic until shortly before entering it would have a safety benefit if drivers came to a full stop and checked for traffic before entering the intersection. Other intersections where the roads don't intersect at near right angles or where cross traffic is moving at higher speeds also have a safety benefit by adding a requirement that traffic stop and check before entering.

> Further, while accidents that harm pedestrians do certainly happen, and shouldn't be minimized, the vast majority of the time the biggest danger to a cyclist is themselves.

Traffic control designating right of way isn't about minimizing harm. It's about preventing collisions in the first place by having a clear set of rules about who has the right of way and who does not and has to yield it. Just because a certain vehicle/driver combination has less mass compared to another doesn't mean that they shouldn't be following the same right of way rules. Regardless of the amount of damage caused or who gets injured, a crash still causes harm and costs money. In this particular case[1], the cyclists didn't get harmed, but their actions in terms of violating the established rules designating right of way resulted in significant property damage

> As a final thought, most red lights in America could probably be stop signs or yield signs.

This is the actual root cause of this issue in the US. But even so, if cross traffic is moving at higher speeds, it's best for drivers of all types of vehicles to stop and check before entering the intersection. In the US, this is the case for many types of intersections (a side road crossing or joining an arterial with traffic moving in excess of 40 mph). But for residential neighborhoods with sparse traffic and low traffic speeds, full stops are not required.

You solve that by forwarding/decrypting/adding noise between servers, enough to cover metadata traffic you generate. The only data you reveal is anyone listening know you might have used it at some point. See https://vuvuzela.io/ I suspect it is named so because it uses a lot of bandwidth.
> (as an aside, right turning vehicles at intersections are allowed to behave much the same as a cyclist doing an Idaho stop - turning right on red, rolling stop)

At least in this case, any advice would be helpful. But it also depends on the person. If the person has been trying several things, and is curious to learn more and work on the suggestion, even small help can make a huge difference.

When it comes to things like working out in the gym, or nutrition. There are often some small optimisation/hacks you can do on top of the things you are already doing that can significantly move the needle in terms of gains. If you are walking, something like carrying weights in a backpack could help you burn extra calories. If you are already doing push ups, introducing you to burpees can make a whole world of difference. Similarly if you are already doing Kettlebells, a complex could significantly move the needle in terms of gains.

Beyond this, learning itself requires lots of humility. You must be prepared to be offended in one way or other to learn any person, in any way. Chances are high nearly every one you meet has some idea about how to make progress but not the entire idea. You need to take in feedback from several people piece together some kind of a coherent strategy to win.
Disclaimer: I can't make any calculation but... Wouldn't Star A keep orbiting Star B inside the surface of Red Giant Star B, which wouldn't be very dense at the radius of the orbit? There is drag but a lot of inertia. Star A would start from further away than now. It would probably get some extra mass in the process, absorbing the gas of the red giant.

Stop signs are a product of American driving culture. You see far less of them in Europe, where it's more common to require drivers to simply yield. Unfortunately I think the design of our roads, speed limits, and general car culture necessitates the need for stop signs in the US.
