There were good and bad. We may soon find out whether it was a good deal or not as globalization gets reversed. I think the timing of it was really bad, as we are choosing to end globalization as the baby boomers are retiring. We are going to find we don't have enough workers to produce the goods and services we want to buy. With all the hate on automation, right now automation is the only thing that can save us.

As far as evil China, I don't disagree with that, but the US wasn't much better in a lot of regards. The US weaponized trade. We were like that drug dealer that gives you drugs for free to get you addicted, and then threaten to cut you off if you don't pay high prices. "you don't agree with our culture? we will cut you off!" It wasn't just trade, but the monetary system as well.

Needless to say, I am not optimistic about our future.
You're really optimistic. I do see a low but non-zero chance that some tensions between china/india/russia/middleeast with each other or someone else escalate into a wiping out of lots of factories, one way or the other.
I met someone who claimed they lost money in FTX when I was taking four figures in winnings from boomers at the poker room yesterday.

(Could have been just table talk -- you can't trust anything you here in that context, just like you should take psudoanonymous internet comments from some guy named "Greg" with a grain of salt.)

I didn't have a ton of sympathy for him or her, since this is the flip side of engaging in a market where the major players shun regulation - gamble in an illegal (or illegality ridden) market and the host might pull an exit scam and you might be left counting your blessings you're alive afterwards to complain, but I sympathize with those who simply want to use BTC as a fee free value transfer mechanism to kill abusive entities like Paypal.

Conversely, I don't think it's something that should be used for day to day purchases -- cash is king folks. Offline, hard to counterfeit, and if we need to start moving it around physically more because the internet and/or market crashes, we can go back to having larger denominations just like back in the 1920s[1].

> The author touts Spotify's recommendation engine and rightly so, nothing comes close.

Actually the author does the opposite, saying that YouTube’s algo is superior.

For me, Spotify used to be THE recommendation engine, but the last few years I found it to regurgitate a lot of the same songs, and recommended the same songs to people around me.

To be fair, I’m far less in “discovery mode” than I used to be, but Spotify is contributing to this by no longer inspiring me. It’s easy to get Spotify like everyone else and just be over with it, but a healthy discussion about active choice is always welcome.
What's your point? Google returns results for all of these queries too, that doesn't make their service inherently immoral. What's unique is AI's unreliability, so if you trust it with careful decisions it will frequently make bad choices. If people fail to understand that, they'll keep encountering "moral" problems forever.
It's still perfectly understandable if time is of the essence to you, hence you need to jet around quickly in a plane for a 30 minute flight to travel from Fremont to LA (obvious bias here because I fly often between cities).

What's profoundly wasteful is that Musk travels on a full-fledged Gulfstream 650 for such a short distance - and often traveling within hours of each other on that mega jet.

A side-effect of developing from a normal-sized git repo is that you have a copy of your "blockchain" locally.

I won't claim that github/gitlab couldn't somehow do evil remotely and cause you to nuke the code history next time you build from a hacked pull request or something. But even then there's a decent chance at least one developer hasn't done the evil git pull. And if that's the case I just copy it from them and I'm back where I was.

If I understand correctly, nothing at all like that was possible in the FTX case.
Absolutely this. That TSMC fab in Arizona? The lithography machines come from ASML, a company in the Netherlands. The EDA tools? Those are from Siemens, a German company. And on and on.

And that's on top of our new remote-first world for information workers. You used to offshore departments or teams; now teams are as likely to be made up of people living in different countries as they are to be made up of people living in the same metro area.

I agree that a smart CEO holding options would favor to dividends but don't see how this is an argument against it.

It seems that it benefits stockholders and CEOs alike. Stockholders get the same value as a dividend without the immediate taxable income, and CEOs and other option holders like employees get some of the value when their options mature.
The article doesn't really answer the 'how', but just list various things that CAN affect readability. Practically speaking more importantly than can is how much. I suspect that this is a very difficult problem to solve in the general case with varying cultures, contexts, learning styles, etc.

Also.. another thing that improves readability - no ads :)
I always look at it from these core 3 attributes:

- Work (interesting, career progression, etc).

- People (Good coworkers, aligned values, top-down vs bottom-up, etc).

- Compensation/Benefits (Many things to look at but I favor base and liquid components like RSUs).

At different times I've optimized for different things. I believe is pretty common to optimize for work (learning/interesting) early in our careers and then start optimizing for compensation/benefits (I include company stability here as a benefit) as we grow older and have life responsibilities.

People is something that I did not realize had such a big effect in my career and even compensation until much later in my career. If I work for an organization with people I enjoy working, values most of the things I value and I'm good at, I maximize the odds of being successful. Changing the culture of an organization is very hard, even more so when you're a leaf in the org tree.

"Your dream is a powerful symbol of the inevitable change that is coming in your life.

The golden head of the statue represents the highest potential of what you could achieve. The silver chest and arms symbolize the strength you possess to make your dreams come true. The bronze belly and thighs signify your courage and persistence to face any challenge that comes your way. The iron legs and feet signify the stability and structure of your life, while the clay shows that you are still flexible and open to change. The rock that strikes the statue is a sign of a great upheaval in your life that will bring about a transformation of epic proportions. The mountain that replaces the statue is a metaphor for the new heights you will reach and how you will be able to influence the world around you. The dream is a reminder that no matter what happens, you will be able to use your determination and resilience to make the most of your situation."

> complete keyboard remapping such that macos keybindings work everywhere

I also use a customized layout (mostly international English with shortcuts for German Umlauts and Y and Z remapped to eachother). It definitely works in most modern Linux desktops to use a "custom keyboard layout" like described here. There are many guides which are outdated on the topic. It's a hack and also not super simple to execute (you only need to do it once) but it is persistent and system-wide in all programs at least:

8chan like every forum ever has dumb moderators who dont know how to do their job / over extend their hand (and the moderation position of web forums seems to attract people with certain mental disorders that make them seek out perceived microinjustices which the definition thereof changes from day to day)

there were a bunch of sites mirroring 8chan to steal content

these were useful because they had both a simpler / lighter / better user interface (aside from images being missing), and posts / threads that were deleted would stay on the mirrors. being able to see deleted posts / threads was highly useful as the moderation on such sites tends to be utterly useless and the output of a random number generator. it was hilarious reading "zigforum" instead of "8chan" in all the posts as the mirror replaced certain words to thinly veil their operation. they even had a reply button that didnt seem to work or was just fake.

tl;dr the web is broken and only is good when "abused" by proxy/mirrors
> I think the problem is, what good does it do if someone has some predilection toward suicide but isn't aware of it? If they were going to be resistant to addressing it without this tool, why would they be less resistant to it with it?

(Not a researcher in this area, but someone who's dealt with depression) this is a big concern of mine, and it doesn't seem different from the issues with a standard lie detector. A depressed person can feel fine one day and not the next. If we think of things like anhedonia, grief, guilt, etc they aren't constant day to day. A lot of suicides are preventable simply by getting a person through a day or two. This is the number one reason I'd argue for waiting periods on pistols (most gun deaths are suicides btw). Would such an event even show up on this device? Timing becomes an extremely important factor here. My understanding too is that we still don't even know how these diseases function from a chemical level in the brain (norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin). Categorically there can be: too much, not enough, broken uptake mechanism; and our main treatments are with reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs or SSNRIs) and these tools are really limited in those categories (which are very high level fwiw and need to be broken down substantially more to target good drug delivery).

I am also very concerned about how this technology can be abused. While I agree that there can be a lot of uses to it, that doesn't mean we shouldn't be concerned with how it can be abused.
> the time value of money also decreased over time, as the quickening of the pace of technological advances meant that lenders could expect more returns over a shorter amount of time.

Isn't this backwards?

In a world where money has no time-value, a world where a dollar today is the same as a dollar tomorrow, and the same as a dollar five years from now, then, if there's no default risk, you can pay me back the same dollar I gave you, without interest. Zero interest rates.

In a world where everything changes rapidly and I might need money now, I'm going to demand a lot of interest before I'll lend you my cash. Because I'm incurring a lot of opportunity cost by parting with it.

If this were a reinforcement learning problem, we might specify a discount factor. If that discount factor were near one, then we'd have a long time horizon. If it were closer to zero, then we'd have a short time horizon.

I'd think that low interest rates would go together with a static, unchanging environment, in which money has very little time-value.

I do agree, however, with your earlier sentence:

> As the world became more stable over time, the default risk also lessened over time
I think the expectation at this point is that "sites" would de-emphasize a positive reaction and over-emphasize the negative reaction.

I'm fine with this in theory and have spent plenty of time running variable width fonts in code editors. In practice their non-alphanumeric symbols like brackets and carets aren't designed and set correctly for the significance those characters have in code. In prose they are meant to be clear enough but unobtrusive, with a fair bit of play between the tradeoffs in either direction being acceptable.

It's not an insurmountable problem, probably any skilled typographer could do a great job at it on a given typeface. Probably even just a committed amateur with fontforge could do an acceptable job in a weekend. But I'm neither and I don't know of any "code variant" variable-width fonts yet.

Plus the last few years this problem more or less resolved itself for me. There are a number of incredibly high quality code-specific fonts now, plus there are now fixed-width fonts so tightly designed with this in mind they aren't even obviously fixed-width unless you have a practiced eye for typesetting. You can get very close to the same result without giving up aligned columns, which is one advantage that is still fairly relevant.
That still makes it ironic no? If the outcome of events at one of the largest crypto exchanges is "the opposite of what crypto’s original philosophy is" that's a textbook example of irony.

Back in the very early, more promising, days of crypto the standard critique of crypto was the common mantra "you can't use technology to solve social problems". I think we've had that objectively demonstrated multiple times now (and will continue to do so).

Though I do expect "No True Scotsman" to be a pretty favorite cry from the remaining crypto enthusiasts for quite awhile.
I try to give these articles/guidance a lot of leeway, but for godssakes: (1) tell them to stop, (2) escalate if necessary, (3) consider termination if it is disrupting your work environment.
On iOS you can opt out of almost all of these. Concerned people can keep them on. Defaults may be an issue here, but it's nowhere near as concerning as government having hooks in the baseband.
I mean, "government in general" is kind of meaningless, some governments are much more of a threat to some people than others.

Also, while your example is great (and I think I have seen it predicted !), criminal organizations aren't "most" nor "people" (more like businesses ?).
For other use cases, I'd probably agree with you. But you being startled and confused during an emergency because you didn't see the instructions on time can be very dangerous for everyone around you. It's not just on you.
TSMC is literally building out multiple fabs in Arizona to placate America's wishes, including a 4nm and 3nm process, which is more advanced than any they currently have.

> Hell, the incentives don't even line up for shareholders to fulfill America's dreams and wishes. Trying to equate voting shares to a company being 'American' without addressing the social, political realities is wishful American centrism.

This is literally what's happening. It's not a dream or wish, it's a desire, and one that TSMC has decided to fulfill. You continue to say "they won't" but they have already decided to do exactly what the US wants.
I agree with you up until the last sentence, which reads exactly like American communists decrying Stalinist purges only insofar as it has given "true Communism" a bad name. The theoretical promises of some -ism are really only as good as their execution.

This guy is something else. He's one of the largest scammers in history, if not the largest, by the amount of appropriated funds. But he's also very "cute", I mean he cannot open his mouth without incriminating himself. This is going to be a good show.

On a more serious note I do hope for some serious sentences on the back of it (counted in decades, maybe a few life sentences if possible), because it's too much of a financial fraud to even look plausible. Yet it is real. If you want some good writeups check out the old dependable "Money Stuff" by Matt Levine, every paragraph is better than the last.
> one of the major promises was that free trade would liberalize the world

This was wish a mix between wish-fulfillment and propaganda used to reverse the effect of Cold War propaganda. The main goals of globalization were economic and diplomatic, and those have been wildly successful. Billions of people have been lifted out of poverty, and nuclear war is completely unthinkable.

> Instead, China has taken all the benefits and used our money to build a system of oppression that would make George Orwell blush.

You don't need technology to build an oppressive regime. China were still closed off to international markets, they would be a lot closer to North Korea than it is right now.

Did something similar when I was in college. I watched the IMDB Top 250 and AFI's Top 100 (lots of overlap at the time). I started aggressively, thinking I could watch one movie a day, and struggled to appreciate any of the movies I watched. I was watching movies to check them off my list. Watching "good" movies back to back made it hard for me to appreciate them; it made my baseline of "what a movie is" too high to enjoy. This made me slow down and add movies between the films on my list. I started watching poorly reviewed movies and found some of my favorite movies along the way.

I like your idea of "... and to understand more about what life was like by watching what they watched ..." That's something I didn't like about strictly sticking to an AFI list. To me, some movies contributed a ton to cinema and are a slog to get through. "Birth of a Nation", "Citizen Kane", and "Gone with the Wind" were more fun to read about than to watch. You can't avoid this with your list having some on there that I dread, but the goal of your list makes more sense to me.
