Interesting read. My grandfather was the "cigarette officer" in Stalag Luft III (the Great Escape PoW camp). His duty was the distribution of the incoming Red Cross cigarettes. The job was his due to the fact that he didn't smoke (at least that's what I was told).

He was also on the list to get out in the Great Escape - but was far enough down the list to never make it out of the tunnel. His job during tunnel construction was sand dispersal - socks down trousers that were released in the middle of a game of football.

This is not strictly true. The recent Nobel was such an expedition which was ignored by scientists in the 40s-70s as an esoteric philosophical question that cannot be answered. It is still not “answered” per se but Bell’s formulations leave very few choices for the base reality of the model.

Observe that the model itself worked quite well regardless of the base reality. Knowing that truth doesn’t change any current applications. But who knows where it’ll lead. So knowing which model is successful and which model is real is a very important question that we must try our best to answer. Only in the natural sciences can such a question even be answered.
I'm happy Elon is doing this.

My previous Twitter account was banned and even though I asked Twitter support twice for the reason why my account was banned, never got an answer. I never learned what my offending tweet was.

But I lean towards the right, so I can only imagine some of my tweets ruffled against the opinions of some Twitter employees and hence those employees felt a need to ban me. Even though my account had few followers (<100 most likely).

I hope in the future when a person gets banned, they will at least will learn what tweet was against the ToS, so a person has a better ability to appeal.

Does anyone have any ideas why companies like Facebook or Twitter would prefer not to mention the post of tweet that was against the ToS? Could there be some legal reason?

The TSE should have been able to override the accruing charges on their GCP account. Or they can use another payment method to pay the GCP bill. It sounds like funds they are owed, that they would use to pay GCP bill are locked away until the account is verified.

This comment is not only rude but also inaccurate regarding basic geography.

On the topic of price the item in question shows as been between $8.50 - $11.50 depending on store in the first zip that instacart loaded (94105). Checking another zip (07081) it's between $7.50 - $11.50. As a result $9.95 does not seem outside normal parameters for this item.

https://www.instacart.com/store/walgreens/products/1585122

The US item is also materially smaller than the UK version. Even if they was the same volume, at $4.29 this is still a considerable increase in cost compared to the UK price.
And we still throw parents in jail all the time.

You're not wrong, but it seems a bit insane to let a woman leave jail on bail, get pregnant, then allow the woman to use that pregnancy to argue for a more lenient prison sentence.

This was entirely predictable. It's not like Holmes didn't know she was going to jail, it was only a question of how long.

A woman who would do that isn't fit to be a parent, is not looking out for the best interests of the child and that the kid isn't losing out on much by having her absent from their life. Doubly so when the dad has the resources to raise the kid without her.

> for the first time in decades, people started to see a real increase in wages

Who are you talking about? Other than the techbros who switched jobs for a $100k raise, which is a tiny fraction of the population, basically everyone else's real wages have plummeted the last two years.
Perhaps not, but social and competitive structures may.
> It's Math 101. CEOs compensation is typically tied to Market Caps of firms, while employees have fixed/sticky wages.

It NOT Math 101. You're making some assertions that really don't stand up to even basic Econ 101 theory of markets. Why shouldn't other employee compensation be tied to market cap of firms (relative to the number of employees) and CEO compensation be fixed/sticky wages?

The forces driving CEO wages should be no different than other employee wages. They should be driven by the net value they can provide for a company. (Seriously, if you're going to tie anything to the market cap of a firm, it should be more CFO/comptroller type roles, not CEO... but you don't see the accounting team being compensated more just because the company has a bigger budget.) It's not unreasonable that companies might think that CEOs provide more value than their other employees (not always true, but not an unsurprising perspective), but you'd have a hell of a time convincing me that CEO performance has improved 1460% in the last 50 years.

Indeed, for the most part the job hasn't become harder, nor have the criteria become more stringent. You go back 50+ years ago, and you actually had a more difficult job because a company needed to manage far more employees to achieve the same economic value. If you can get so much more economic value out of fewer employees, it should follow that the individual employees should be valued, if anything, more relative to the CEO.

Sure, absent other factors, if a company is able to produce more economic value with fewer employees, that increases the value of the CEO... but it also increases the value of most, if not all, of the employees as well, and arguably it increases their value proportionately more than the CEO's.

> while employees have fixed/sticky wages.

You have to ask yourself why it works that way.

If employee productivity increases (as measured by ARPE), it stands to reason that employee compensation would grow proportionately (or at least near proportionately... you would expect some of the increased productivity to be siphoned off into profits) with it. Instead, the CW is that CEO pay should increase disproportionately to employee productivity increases, and employee wages should stay stagnant... because against all reason, we attribute any productivity growth to the CEOs.

> A lot of phenomenon in this world can be explained if you apply Mathematical concepts and natural laws instead of resorting to conspiracy, billionaire-hate and anything lately pushed by mainstream media.

You can rationalize anything with; mathematical models are abstract, so it's all about how you map those models to the real world.

I'm not trying to suggest there's any kind of conspiracy, nor am I engaging in "billionaire-hate" (and let's be real, billionaire CEOs are, for the most part, owner-CEOs, not your typical hired-gun CEO).

What I am trying to suggest is that there might be flaws in the systemic structures we have for compensation and attribution. No conspiracy necessary.
>Because your supply costs are cheap, you can undercut your competitors (but not by too much)

or, take the other approach, and sell it slightly higher. this will easily remove the suspicion that you are selling stolen goods. in fact, you might get more sales from people deliberately looking to not purchase from the lowest price seller. it's genius, and i see no fault in this plan whatsoever.

> I think it's very fair to have differing attitudes/moral thresholds for an impoverished mother shoplifting a week's worth of baby formula versus "a couple in Alabama [which] pled guilty to shifting $300,000-worth of stolen baby formula on eBay".

I’ve also noticed a weird tendency to downplay theft lately, either through projecting a theoretical moral justification on to the shoplifter or by insinuating that retail stores are evil corporations and therefore deserve no sympathy.

Knowing some people who work in retail, the impact of rampant theft (organized or random) is really quite unsettling on the people who have to be around it. Retail store policies are very much about not interfering with the thieves, but it’s quite upsetting when you realize you’re in an environment where the law doesn’t really mean anything and consequences basically don’t exist for breaking the law. The few people I know in retail (including retail management) are looking to get out ASAP because it just feels so vaguely unsafe and, worse yet, large swaths of the public seem to thing the thieves are the good guys and the retail employees are the bad ones because they’re associated with a corporation.
"to prepare for what is likely to be a life of hardship"

But then we had boom times a mere 15 years later. Human society causes mass changes at short time scales. Biological mechanisms we may have facilitating adaptation to more long-term changes are likely to be counterproductive when the socioeconomic environment changes.

Maybe in the past times of hardship would tend to be either quick (a year or two) or slow (a generation of so), but as expected lifespans increase and as technology causes more intermediate length boom-bust cycles, epigenetic changes could be maladaptive over the lifetime of the individual. This is moreso true when the adaptations needed are not those of a hunter-gather (such as earlier onset puberty), but of an industrialized society (where early puberty can impact lifetime employment).

And with anything biological weird side-effects, or even mistakes can happen. Looking at the wikipedia article "Epigenetic effects of smoking" has this blurb: " CYP1A1 was found to be hypomethylated in the placentas of fetuses prenatally exposed to cigarette smoke, along with the transposable element AluYB8.[4] Methylation of transposable elements is one of the primary ways they are prevented from replicating or moving within the genome."

So you've got increased mutation rates (from the transposable elements and other effects) in infants exposed to cigarette smoke. Increasing mutation is a literal gamble for a genome to do, as only a few mutations will be beneficial.

Sometimes the situation is bad enough the body needs to gamble. But this doesn't mean the effects will be net beneficial, just that the body not making changes is also a bad idea.

TL;DR: This is something we need to pay attention to as a side-effect of geopolitical and economic policies.

BlueSky is closer to decentralized SNS, where as AP is actively seeking to become a federated SNS. BlueSky uses DID and independent data repositories, which allows freely migrating b/w instances. AP simply does federation b/w rather classical blog hosting apps.
PoF was orders of magnitude less complicated than twitter is in 2022. It’s also much more complicated than whatsapp was prior to acquisition by FB too.

Shoplifting is actually one of the least harmful forms of theft, in terms of dollars stolen. Wage theft costs orders of magnitude more. A few years ago, money stolen by police via civil forfeiture surpassed the amount stolen by burglars.

Yet the form of theft I hear the most about, by far, is shoplifting. Why do you think that is?

Given that a supermajority was vaccinated this time last year, I think one bubble is much smaller.
So what? The mere existence of a few tell us that is really possible, and its not like the US or other countries go into great lengths to remedy such situation, instead they pretty much seem to be trying the opposite, just ask any elementary school teacher about how competitive their salary is or how much of their own personal money goes to buy school supplies, or how many criminals are under "medical bankruptcy" or drowning in banks overdraft fees or any other form of bankruptcy, or perhaps you can ask what are "private prisons" and what are their incentives.
For example, Dr. Oz was a brilliant heart specialist, but he knows literally nothing about weight loss. One should not take him at face value.

I think you could do it w/ 3 pawns, by having white king on a1, white pawn on a2, then black pawns on a3, b2 and c2.

Two pawns would be possible w/ white king on a1, white pawn on a2, white bishop on b1, and black pawns on b2 and a3.

"Most" in the absolute terms, not in the relative (e.g. percentual) way you may be interpreting my comment. And anyway there is always going to be criminals, but its not remotely the same thing when your national average thief steals one thing per year vs one thing per day.
A big cause of petty crimes (and more serious ones) is people growing up among criminals and seeing them not face harsh consequences. The reality experienced by a group of people shapes their mores over time.
