> The mass of people who provided popular, democratic support for visa restrictions were motivated by the nativist concern of protecting American workers from foreign competition.

Why would they support H1-B then? It is literally increasing supply of workers who have less negotiating power than the “mass of people” I presume you are referring to. Surely they would be better off with immigrants whose legal status was not tied to employers.
You know Groupon is still alive. I think once these companies get listed they become vehicle for tax offsetting by booking losses. While early investors cashout massively and transfer forward risk to pension funds.
Bullying as social correction is a very bad type of social correction. This way the social correction is done by the dumbest and most violent members of society in order to conform society to their vision. And then society grows up to become dumb and violent. Well lets not kid ourselves, this is exactly what has been happening in human history, and that why humanity continues to be mired in suffering and conflict and is intentionally destroying its environment. But this is something we have to change. Social correction should be done by trained adults that know exactly which traits are bad and to be corrected.

I think when the article says "that public health interventions could aim at preventing children from becoming the target of bullying" they refer to more health based intervention. Such as helping kids to be healthy and not malnourished, or overweight from eating bad food.
> Anyone who says productivity, focus and happiness doesn’t take a huge hit in open office settings is fooling themselves or lying to you.

I work way better in an open office, but I fully acknowledge that I am not likely your average worker.

The problem with open offices is that you only get one option: be around everybody.

My company has something like 15-20 offices anyone can use at any point with a big open floor in the middle for collaboration. That is in combination with a flexible WFH and office culture. Best of both worlds IMO.

why not ?

you can do that with friends and family. Cry, be happy, get angry,...
You're allowed to do everything at home.
There are also online places where you can do that with strangers (like Discord)

You should be able to do all of that, go directly to the bottom of the problems, get a confirmation that it's not normal, and show others that your world isn't perfect either.

Internalizing and learning to cope, despite your expectations, is actually the worst. That's how you neglect yourself (get alienated, according to some ppl), and give a false image that your life is great.

A Long Expected Update
A mistake we sometimes make is to assume that intelligent also = good. But intelligence doesn't imply that a person is e.g. social, empathetic, ethically responsible etc.
Windows NT 3.1 seems to have come with a CD, a complete installation set of 3.5" discs, and even boot discs for the CD on 5.25" discs (and a voucher for a 5.25" complete set). So Microsoft obviously thought 3.5" discs were often going to be needed back in 1993 (and there's a notable number of people that have a CD-ROM drive, but no 3.5" drive?). See https://socket3.wordpress.com/2016/12/24/ebay-purchase-5-mic...

Frankly, I'd count Windows 95 as really being in the CD era, floppy software was getting rare than (although apparently there's a even a 39 disc floppy version of Windows 98 if you're a real masochist), but a couple of years earlier CD-ROMs were still quite niche, although a high end workstation does seem a likely candidate to have one.

It's actually a different problem than most people realize. What happens is that you have criminal assault and abuse being tolerated by adults and then blaming the victims. To try to understand, take the behavior of the "bullies" and imagine it is being done by adults.

It really comes down to a lack of responsibility and accountability for managing the behavior of children in schools. Instead of dealing with children who are totally out of control, they blame the victims and compartmentalize the assaults as being somehow different since they involve children.

These assaults are actually even more critical to address in childhood because as they are allowed to form patterns that persist in criminal assaults and fraud in adulthood.

This type of failure is one reason that we don't truly have a civil society. There is this facade of order, but really at the heart it's just the animal kingdom. There is some aspiration by those with the responsibility, but on average the teachers etc. have little real resolve, courage, or capability to actually deal with the broken and dangerous children that are common in schools. So they blame the victims.
As somebody in container shipping: good riddance. There are a handful of sensible people who have been calling this out for years and years, and every time there are wishful thinkers telling them this is the future.

The worst of it is that there is an actual business case for a blockchain-like solution, because in flows where the shipper of the goods arranges their own hinterland transportation ("merchant haulage") there is a huge communication gap. The hinterland party and the shipping line need to arrange a handover of the container, and communicate about this constantly, but they are not in direct contact with eachother, because the shipper contracts them independently. T-mining (https://www.t-mining.be/, I'm not associated with them) is solving this for the release rights bit of that issue, but really this problem should be approached much wider to solve for seaship ETA updates and customs documents as well. Crucially, you can't solve this through a trusted third party, firstly because there is none that operates world-wide, and secondly because it would grant enormous power to that party, and no logistical actor is willing to give away this power.

Of course the major shipping lines (Maersk, MSC, CMA-CGM) have been pushing to integrate hinterland services in their business more and more, so the shipper won't choose to arrange this themselves to begin with. This means they have no interest in fixing the communication problem. This is okay for shippers in the short term, but long term this will ruin the market. The shipping market is heavily centralized with only a few large players, which will now gain significant control over the hinterland as well and be able to force their policies on inland container depots, barge and train operators, and trucking companies. It's a shame really.
>This was a major part of the playbook of Standard Oil; I would consider them a real business.

True, and unlike modern VC-bacjked companies they didn't lose money in the others. BUT they were hit pretty hard with anti competitive legislation and were broken up as a result of these practices.

Sounds kind you went went Carnivore. I've been doing the Carnivore diet for the past eight weeks tomorrow and I'm down 14 pounds despite not exercising and increasing my daily caloric intake to about 3500 calories. The change is remarkable. It makes so much sense to me now that obesity rates were about 2% a hundred years ago when nobody knew what a calorie was and ate all the butter and meat they liked but as soon as people been limiting fat in the 80s the obesity rate exploded culminating in today's over 40%: eating fat was never what made people fat.
A forgotten dimension of this problem is that you’re never happy if you care too much. Intelligent people care too much. If you don’t care enough you’re probably causing trouble for other people. I’d rather hurt myself than other people.

To be honest I don't necessarily see this as a bad thing. I like a lot of Rowan Atkinson's work but I absolutely hated Mr Bean. Something about watching someone be inept in every possible way causes me a huge amount of stress and isn't something I'm able to derive any sense of enjoyment or fun from. If there were more episodes it might have become more of a cultural meme (like, say, The Simpsons), which I'd find really hard to deal with.

(This doesn't always follow, of course. The UK version of The Office is only 12 regular episodes plus a couple of specials, yet it's impact is still very much felt - at least in the UK - so I don't necessarily see there being a simple correlation between quantity of material and cultural significance. As much as the US series is also excellent I don't think it carries quite the same iconic status or cultural weight here even though there are a lot more episodes - obviously it might do in the US.)

Dwelling in one's own subjective experience is typically fruitless. However, paying attention to emotion ("attention is all you need") as a detector of mismatches between reality and expectations is quite useful. But, attending to ones emotional state is only useful if you are willing to update your internal state (beliefs, expectations) and actions to reflect reality more closely.

The sad reality is that diets aren't a one size fits all solution. Different diets work for different folks.

If the government (and by proxy it's enforcement agencies) didn't have so much unaccountable power over people being visited by a police officer over something frivolous wouldn't be nearly as intimidating nor would the government's enforcers wouldn't have to deal with allegations of intimidation over such actions in the (probably majority of) cases where they are not being used to intimidate. The intimidation here is entirely predicated on the police's ability to screw these women over with no recourse on a whim.

SRE specializing in P1/Sev1 type "house on fire" hot Production issues with leadership attention where you solve the immediate pain and hand off to other engineers to triage follow-on problems and long-term remediation not only get you in and out as quickly as you can fix the issue, but lots of management attention as the "valuable fix it" person. Anyone who negotiates for P1/Sev1 on-call (so you don't get called until it becomes a production down issue) quickly becomes highly valued, as even bonus pay for such shifts aren't enough to get enough volunteers.

Sales engineering where you throw together MVP code just enough to convince customer accounts your sales counterparts weren't writing checks no one's engineering could cash. Then you move on to the next sales account, and you rarely are called back in unless it is for a professional services gig so lucrative that sales couldn't turn it down.

If dieting doesn't work, how come the procedure he's talking about is basically reducing the volume of his stomach? Sort of a "Forced" dieting if you will?

Dieting and exercise ABSOLUTELY work. Calorie deficit will make you lose weight. You can't create/add matter to your body from nothing. Every atom that your body gained in order to gain weight, came from somewhere, namely, food.

99% of the time when people say the diet didn't work, they were doing a half assed diet with "cheat" days every couple days where they down a 2,000 calorie milkshake.

Source: I used to be that guy making excuses and blaming genetics for being overweight.
I've seen a few anecdotes of people starting ADHD medication and seeing drastic improvements immediately. But at the other end, also some from people who regret going on medication, that it is more depleting than helpful in the long term. Would love to hear any experiences from people who were able to successfully treat the condition and wean off the medication for good.
> It takes wisdom to be happy.

Umm, no? The world is full of happy and unwise people. "Ignorance is bliss", etc.

I'm not sure if this is true either. We're talking about terms that are very difficult to properly define, but wisdom is gained through experience, and has no relation to IQ. There are many wise people we wouldn't consider intelligent, and intelligent people that are not wise.

I got on meds for ADHD and they objectively didn’t help that much. I also felt like my pulse and emotions were greatly elevated in confrontational situations to an uncomfortable extent (though caffiene was involved). The other aspect was that it was almost $300/month for a prescription. In social situations they did help a bit. Any impact on productivity was minor.

I’d also say right after the meds kicked in I would do something like get on hacker news and write a long post about how everyone should get their ADHD checked and how life changing meds are. That always felt like the meds talking to me.

Not that anyone shouldn’t try it. I’m glad I did, even though I decided it wasn’t for me, because otherwise I would be wondering how much better I would be on meds. Now I know for me it’s not much better.

One descriptive theory of morality is Moral Foundations Theory[0]. Jonathan Haidt introduces it in his popular book The Righteous Mind[1].

My current thinking is that, since normative principles (what ought to be) cannot be demonstrated to be universally true, the best we can do is demonstrate that they are consistent with our core instincts and motives. For example, being generous to others is not right based on some external principle, but because if I had sufficient emotionally maturity, security, and insight I would recognize that my deepest desires extend far beyond immediate gratification of my physical desires.

Yeah, I signed up for TradeLens - this is accurate. The primary 'integration' wasn't worked through though. You need to have your customer bank and your bank accept the digital documents, and still you need to work through the change log process in case the BoL is wrong. There's a lot here to do - and I have to imagine this field is where Flexport is heading.

I also looked into Circle to use USDC as the primary transfer mechanism. However the commodities I know are all a 'trust' relationship of international wires that works 'just good enough'
>I also think Standard Oil shouldn't exist. In fact, so did the US government in a landmark antitrust case that you may have heard of.

Agreed, but "should/shouldn't exist" wasn't the argument. The initial argument was "if you use this strategy, you're not a real business" which I think is false.

Previous to OSF/1, DEC had sold Ultrix, first on VAX, then on MIPS.

If you want to learn more about the mines in Camobida I highly recommend the low-budget documentary Until They're Gone[0], which features a small human-based mine removal effort promoted by Landmine Relief Fund[1]. I read an article in the Economist a couple years about the lingering impacts of mines and ordinance in Cambodia, and it struck me heavily and I looked up more information and came across those. It's horrible that all these ordinances are still maiming people decades after a war that their country was hardly even involved in, but there's also a lot of exciting work and progress being made. A mine-free Cambodia really is possible, and in not that many years!
