The point is no one becomes a billionaire from honest labor but by become a parasitic hedge fund manager or by stealing the labor from the employees of the company they own shares in, like Bezos does. to get to Bezos and Musks net worth in 20 years you need to be "producing" more like $3 million/hour. No single human is that productive and the only way to do this is by being parasitic.
Just responding to one part of this, if that's cool.

I think what the comment above is saying is that it's not about whether or not speech on Twitter is protected. It's that the government isn't supposed to act to restrict speech in any manner that doesn't cross the lines he listed.

If I'm remembering correctly, there was a big court case because Trump was hiding critical responses to his tweets on Twitter. The judge ruled that Trump violated the 1st amendment even though Twitter is a private company ("private property"?).

This is because the 1st amendment not only protects speech, it restricts government attempts to control speech (or at least that's the argument that would be made).
I mean, I'm sitting in my apartment in Seattle and Google says I'm in Quintanna Roo. Given that I don't have any devices left in Mexico, I'm not really sure what else could be happening.

to be clear: my VPN is Tailscale configured to use an exit node running out of the apartment I'm currently sitting in.
This does not happen to me at all and I don't know why.
> Your version would be like a dolphin claiming algebra can't be real because they can't imagine a system of equations, let alone solving one.

Note I explicitly said "if that impossibility is... not in any way a product of any scientific or technological limitation". Understanding mathematics to be a science (albeit a formal science rather than a natural one), a dolphin's inability to understand algebra is an example of "scientific or technological limitation"; therefore, my principle does not apply to that case, and your counterexample cannot be an argument against the principle when the principle as worded already excludes it.

> Well, can you imagine how things (or the very first thing) came to exist? Or can you imagine the concept of things always having existed? What does that even mean? They are both beyond comprehension, and yet one of them is true.

There are more than just two possibilities here. When you say "things always having existed", that can be interpreted in (at least) two different ways – an infinite past, or circular time (as in Nietzsche's eternal recurrence). Or, another possibility would be that the universe originated in the Hartle–Hawking state, meaning that as we approach the beginning of the universe, time becomes progressively more space-like, and hence there could be no unique "first moment" of time – in the beginning, there was no time, only space, and then (part of) space gradually becomes time, but in a continuous process in which there is no clear cut-off point between time's existence and non-existence.

Can I comprehend these possibilities? I feel like I can, for some of them–maybe some of them are more comprehensible to me than to you. But, those which I cannot comprehend, is that because the theory itself is inherently incomprehensible, or is that "in any way a product of any scientific or technological limitation"? I can't say for sure it isn't the later. For example, I find it really hard to comprehend the Hartle-Hawking proposal, but I don't have a good understanding of the maths and physics behind it, so it seems entirely possible that my difficulties in comprehending it are due to my lack of ability in maths and physics, rather than the very nature of the idea itself. Similarly, my intuition is repelled by the notion of an infinite past, but is it possible I'd view the matter differently if I had a better understanding of the mathematics of infinity? I can't completely rule that out.

By contrast, I have no reason to think that my inability to conceive of "nothing exists at all" is due to any limitation of my understanding of mathematics and physics. What mathematics or physics could possibly be relevant to it? There isn't any, and there is no reason to think there ever could be any. So, I say my principle clearly applies here, but not in the "how did things begin to exist" case which you raise.
Frankly, taking a crypto exec at their word has not been a smart move lately.

> We learned before Taibbi's scoop that Twitter disallowed sharing of the story including in DMs. Blocking content in DMs was supposedly only used for illicit underage material until that story

You might not have been aware of that but it was common knowledge years before. During the hours when that story was blocked using the same mechanism they used for other hacked materials like you might have seen if some celebrity’s nudes had been leaked. Within a day that was removed for the NY Post news story since they were individually taking down the tweets with the actual nudes.

> This is not my opinion or guessing. We know this to be absolute fact.

What we know as absolute fact is that you’re getting your information from people who carefully lie to you, and you didn’t verify the source. It sounds like you’re referring to Zuckerberg’s interview with Rogan, where he said this:

“The background here is that the FBI came to us - some folks on our team - and was like 'hey, just so you know, you should be on high alert. We thought there was a lot of Russian propaganda in the 2016 election, we have it on notice that basically there's about to be some kind of dump that's similar to that'."

That’s important because what he said doesn’t support that narrative:

Rogan: “Did [the FBI] specifically say you need to be on guard about that story?”

Zuckerberg: “No, I don’t remember if it was that specifically, but it basically fit the pattern.”

https://nypost.com/2022/08/25/mark-zuckerberg-criticizes-twi...

Now, this is all off topic from the “Twitter Files” but again it’s important to remember that the mythology around conservative oppression is being used to distract from the real point that the laptop story failed to have the impact Giuliani & Trump wanted was because there wasn’t much of substance there and the evidence was tainted by sloppy handling. They’re trying to market it as a tale of censorship because they know that it wasn’t effective as a scandal.
Businesses get way different insurance rates than a single individual (or 12 individuals). It costs me $240 a month for full health coverage ($1000 deductible), dentistry, and eye from my current employer; for me to get something equivalent outside this company would cost me $3,000 to $5,000 a month. I can't afford that plus rent, plus energy, plus food.

Not all businesses are equal, not all benefits are equal.

When I worked in a call center the only insurance that wasn't pure garbage cost me $300 a paycheck.

That is not empathy. That is labeling them based on what you think their perspective is and using that label to reason why you understand their point of view. Characterizing another persons mental reasoning by putting it into some generic box is, by definition, NOT empathy.

I believe you. There are racists in Britain. There are all manner of bigots there. Between people who thought I was fair game for being Irish (I've heard all the potato jokes I promise) to those who don't like me for being Jewish, I fully believe there are bigots.

But again, racist compared to what? Do you have an example of a much less racist society? I.e. I'm not claiming it's ok. But the phrasing 'deeply racist' irritates me. It's a fine way to dismiss everything good about the place.

That said, some of the recent stuff in the Graun about black school children being strip searched is enough to make your blood boil.
I don't deny it's possibly racist. But to me it seems more motivated by the car.

And in the absence of further background I don't think it reasonable to assume racism.

Yes you're right, I don't think it's reasonable to make people feel uncomfortable, but I've had people make me feel uncomfortable and that isn't racism.

People take the piss out of me for being skinny, the example you give seems to be in the same ballpark. Labeling this kind of thing as racism just devalues the term.
No, I'm pretty careful about the information that I give to Google. The only Google app on my phone with access to my location is Google Maps.

There was so much going on during the pandemic. My early employee stock and the rest of my portfolio was booming, and I'd just made my yearly TC on GME. The dogecoin gains were smaller and kind of an afterthought.

To top it off, the hard drive with the dogecoin was back at my mom's place or in storage, and it would have taken a lot of time to go back and find it.

Since it was easy to leave the computer where it was, I lazily made the incorrect decision to go long on DOGE as a gamble and as a further means of diversification. I incorrectly thought maybe it would sink then come back even higher. I didn't have to do anything to make that choice. It was very much a wrong move and missed opportunity, but everything was making me money back then, and I was making all sorts of other bets, so this one didn't seem too unreasonable.

I should have known it was a larger macro bubble, but this was my first rodeo. I didn't experience 2008 or 2000 with my own assets, and the COVID dip was my only taste of losses. My biggest regret in all of this was not selling all of my employee stock options last summer when it was near peak. I got stuck between two trading windows and thought that the losses would end of reverse.

I'm still in a good spot, but I could have "FAT FIRE"-d, fully retired (into working on my own thing), and bought half a dozen homes - a beach house, mountain getaway, Manhattan townhome... I thought about that a lot.

I did manage to purchase a historic penthouse in Atlanta with city views though, so I'm happy with that. And I've quit working to focus 100% on my own startup.

If anything, these experiences are good lessons and just give me more drive.

What is your outlook for the UK?

How do you get over the tribalism?

And how can the UK thrive outside the EU?
The UK used to rule the world. It took resources from every continent, brought them to the UK and turned them into goods, which it shipped back out to the world. The industrial revolution occurred in the UK and by the time it occurred elsewhere, the UK had a world dominating navy.

The rest of the world has to try weaning itself off oil. Imagine how hard it is for the UK to be weaning itself off the resources of the entire world.

British people, despite now all being born after the collapse of this empire, still seem to believe they are special and entitled. Certainly they live among evidence of a great culture.

But what does the UK do now? First they let their manufacturing go overseas, because who needs manufacturing when you have great science. But the manufacturing paid for the science and universities. Then they had the "brain drain" as all the scientists moved to the USA (me included). Well that's ok, because we have a great service economy. Oh, wait, no that's gone abroad too. Well finance? We got finance? Uh, Brexit.

The UK is now basically a tax haven, or rather the City of London (which has different laws than the rest of the UK). It also has a side business selling weapons to dictators, and another in olde worlde pageantry, though whether Charles can keep the tourism dollars flowing is another matter.

Now small islands in the carribean make good tax havens. Not a lot of people to support. But the UK thinks it can afford things like the NHS, schools and universities, when it is nothing more than a third world country surrounding the City of London.

If it wasn't for modern communications, the UK would privately be having a dark ages, like what followed the collapse of the Roman Empire. Nobody would know, because nobody would go there. Instead, we get to see the shit-show, live.

The UK is a failed state with nuclear weapons.
As a counterpoint, this does add to Google's already established reputation of not shipping stuff. "No men" are generally a bad idea, they kill innovation and slow things down.
You cannot do these with all security enabled, no. There are lots of other things that are prevented by SIP and/or Secure Boot. One of the principles is that being root should not mean that the kernel can be readily attacked without further bugs.

That also means no /dev/kmem etc., and on top of that POSIX file permissions are by far not the only thing that is protecting access to the file system.

This is true, but I (and you) learned to say and read/write these words at the same time, so we have an advantage over native English speakers in differentiating them.

At the same time the poster had a larger vocabulary than I have (which is true for native speakers generally, as I try to stay within simple English).
> Trans men are men. Trans women are women.

This is an ideological belief. We can also accurately describe them as women who want to be men, and men who want to be women.

Of the three examples we're discussing:

* one raped a woman using his penis - this is what men do, not women

* one tried to get women to touch his male genitals - again, the behavior of a man

* one received an accolade as if he's a woman - but spent most of his life making a highly successful career as a man, using his male privilege to its fullest extent

Can you see why people may prefer to refer to these three as men, not women?
Yeah it’s pretty surprising that traditional desktop apps is currently the weakest part of the .NET ecosystem.

They recently launched MAUI, their new new new cross platform UI framework and it feels very unfinished and “rushed out the door”. Meanwhile they are announcing end of life dates for what MAUI supposedly replaces (eg Xamarin).

So the choice currently is a promising but very unfinished brand new cross platform UI framework - which I would argue is entirely not production ready - or the old approach which now has a ticking expiration clock on it.

Everything is getting recompiled all the time anyway. At least with FreeBSD, any time a dependency is updated, all the packages that depend on that package get rebuilt. There's no concept of "this was a small update and its dynamically linked", its just "the version string changed, so rebuild everything that lists it as a dependency". This is particularly "fun" for web browsers because they have a lot of dependencies, ensuring they're rebuilt often, and they take a long time to build.

To help someone learn to use a language, we should be judgemental and call special attention to all of its shortcomings and gotchas. I don't see value in sweeping them under the rug. That kind of language advocacy is a zero-sum game (or negative-sum).

For example:

> ... it is not at all strange that there is an object whose type is both list and symbol.

Actually, it is strange, and unfortunate. One should think about examples of code that might store different types of values in a variable or data structure, using e.g. `symbolp` and `listp` to distinguish the different representations, and consider how the collision between the symbol nil and empty list could produce unexpected behavior. One must be aware and remain vigilant.

> the things which are not necessary are that it be a symbol, and that it represent falsity.

Other non-necessary things: `car` and `cdr` special cases for `()`, self-evaluating `()`.

> CL requires precisely one implementationally-weird object, while Scheme requires two, or three if you count #t

There is nothing intrinsically weird about having an empty list object. The only thing weird about it is the behavior of `car`, `cdr`, and `symbolp` in CL.

Also, there is nothing weird about having a proper boolean type. On the other hand, if CL's `(type-of 't)` actually returns `boolean` and not `symbol`, as the article indicates, then that is indeed weird.
