They don’t, really.

Those popularized are so silly and have such absurd influence you forget that one way or another THERE IS A CONSPIRACY AGAINST YOUR NATURAL DESTINIES. Either something is wrong with the nebulous opaque system of power in the world, or these people are STIRRED UP AS A CONSPIRACY AGAINST YOU!

Your government is corruptible and incompetent.

The populous is a mob of the ignorant and confused.

You know your media is manipulated, you know special interests are more influential than public dialogue, you know there are haters out there willing to undermine and exploit others for their own interests.

Stop rationalizing to yourselves that there aren’t conspiracies, or that everything is fine.

We live in such a way that it takes TEN YEARS to see the consequences of policies or notable events of the world.
There are a number of things like this. I can't find them now, but they used to make spinning displays. They had a single column of LEDs, but when you spun them, it would leave an afterimage behind, so the message "floated" in the air.

Now, you can get fancier items, like https://www.etsy.com/listing/491059634/strange-light-up-led-...
There's the theory that building codes are used similarly (and complimentarily) to zoning laws to limit the supply of new housing (and therefore raise property values).

A great example being fire walls and mandatory self-latching doors between garages and living spaces - definitely a logical thing (cars and their gas are flammable, so let's isolate them from the house).

When you look at the data [0], garage fires are 2% of residential fires because cars don't really catch on fire in garages (fires happen in garages, but usually because of intentionally set fires getting out of control)

So now, in the midst of a housing affordability crisis (or a the end of a great run for real estate, depending on your outlook), we have construction workers using special fire-resistant drywall (that must be cut specially and cannot have holes in it), placing solid steel doors, and generally spending a lot of hours and materials building spaces that people don't even live in, when really, adding smoke detectors in garages solves the problem.

> This isn't how the market works. I know musicians, and they don't care that you are playing licensing monopoly/bingo and have 3 key squares and now they clearly are going to waste their time uploading their music to your service. You need to essentially already have the subscriber count to provide them a new revenue source that is greater than the pain of dealing with you... which forms a brutal catch-22.

You keep acting as if there aren’t two trillion dollar market cap companies that don’t already have streaming services that don’t have to be profitable.

You also act like the day that Apple announced “Apple Music” every musician wasn’t scrambling to get on the platform.

> Spell checking, like Dropbox, has no network effect and no first mover advantage.

If Facebook announced tomorrow that they were going to release “Facebook Streaming” they already have an audience. We aren’t talking about Joe Bobs Music streaming service.

This is a long-form podcast with Richard Barbrook, the co-author of "The Californian Ideology," a 1995 critique of what later became the dominant ethos of the tech industry.

Lots of interesting history, including a discussion of how Minitel, the French precursor to the web, created a more sustainable form of techno-capitalism even though it was created by the state-owned phone company.

"When citizens “are provided with sufficient health care, education, and resources (as in cultures with higher modernization indexes), they may experience more intense love and be more emotionally engaged with their partners,” they wrote." Seriously? That qualifies the US over Germany? Hmmm, so Germany's health care, education and resources are lower than the US. Remarkable.
Do you know whether there is such a thing as laser-printable paper that you can write on with dry-erase markers and still erase? I like annotating certain documents while I'm traveling, and I wish I could wipe them clean at the start of each trip. I currently laminate the things I reuse most (checklists), or just print a new copy each time.

That bit about Purdue resonates with me. I'm not firmly against legalization of harder drugs, but that's a case where average people given legal access to pharmaceutical-grade medicine through proper legal venues has been absolutely catastrophic. If I were making a case against legalization, that would be my Exhibit A.
Industry experts (including insiders at Disney) note that breakeven was approximately 1.5 billion (the 2 billion came from Cameron), accounting for marketing expenses, the theaters' share of ticket sales, and the fact that the bloated number includes the entire filming costs for Avatar 3 and a quarter of Avatar 4.

So Avatar 2 has earned Disney a profit of at least $250m and it still has several more weeks without any competition. And Avatar 3 will have a far lower break-even point.

Classifying text is like the original usecase for this tech. Feels like a tuned engine designed just to recognize whether or not a prompt string contains a simple question and no funny business could be run on each prompt before going ahead and using it as part of a constructed prompt.

For what it's worth, it ran fine on my 2070 (8GB of VRAM), even with the GPU being used to render my desktop (Windows), which used another ~800MB of VRAM. I was running it under WSL, which also worked fine.

Note the level of investment that NVIDIA's software team has here: they have a separate WSL-Ubuntu installation method that takes care not to overwrite Windows drivers but installs the CUDA toolkit anyway. I expected this to be a niche, brittle process, but it was very well supported.
In the county next to me you can self certify and pretty promise you did all that "knowledge worker" shit. No one will ever check, the self certification just promises you did the stuff and the government promises they won't investigate. Somehow not everyone is dying in city-wide house fires.

It's not that nothing like this exists in nature, it's that evolutionarily speaking nothing like this existed in the areas human first evolved. Or if they did, we either evolved to resist them, thus no longer see them as toxic, or we're still in an arms race with the life that produces them (which means they would be much less toxic than fentanyl, but still toxic).

Plants (and fungi, and animals) evolved to create noxious chemicals that keep animals from eating them, keep animals from breeding, or outright kill the animals. The Golden Poison frog's toxin is about 40 times more lethal than fentanyl.

While the article points out alternatives people use in modern era, I always had a pull towards paper maps. My father had a collection of atlas of India and its different cities. I spent lot of time parsing through them, even though I haven't been to upper half of country yet.

On recent vacation, while we were trying doing street shopping, I came across Lewis-Clark map [original size] and then I thought I might as well use maps as wall art. I ended up buying following two classic replicas.

b. Western North America of 1846: https://digitalcommons.csumb.edu/hornbeck_mex_1/7/

I'm not comparing Germany to the US from a societal standpoint, but their legal immigration frameworks.

For instance, the US has immigration quotas for pretty much everything, thus the backlogs that resulted in Chinese and Indian born people to wait for a decade or more to achieve their permanent residency status. The process is also extremely complex and, as a result of that, it is quite expensive, in the order of thousands of dollars.

They might also simply be exerting too much oversight. The other way to reduce these pressures is to reduce workloads by simply caring less.

Shark bite is awesome for capping a broken pipe until you can get around to a proper fix. Love those shark-bite caps. IMO every home owner should have pipe cutters for the pipes in their house (whatever materials those may be), and a set of those caps ready to apply for every size of pipe they've got. Ought to be as common as having a screwdriver and hammer. They're absolute life-savers when a leak or pipe burst happens at odd hours and you just want to get the leak stopped and the water back on and go back to bed or get back to work or whatever. Cut the pipe, steel wool the end clean, slap the shark bite cap on, get on with life until you have the time to properly fix it. Turns something very inconvenient into something merely a little inconvenient. Beats the hell out of having to break out the solder or pipe glue at 2AM.

How is it a nonstory? The article was about a culture clash and not taking the position of either side, but you implied the author said to not wear a wetsuit. I wasn't aware of this clash of cultures, as dumb as it is, so the story worked for me as a human interest story; not everything has to be about wars and mass shootings.
What I don't understand about the movie business is the cost of making them. The most important ingredient to the success of a movie is the plot. We've all seen low budget movies that made lots of money - because of the plot. Casablanca, Psycho, Blair Witch Project, Cloverfield, Primer, ...

Star Trek TOS was a very low budget affair, and produced excellent results, because they hired the best scifi writers. When they threw money at the Star Trek movies, they were all terrible.

It's the plot that matters. Nothing else.
Indeed. Feels like vast majority of the TV worth watching is HBO. I value my time so I'd rather have access to a few HBO series / year than an endless sea of A/B dross.

I would say for roles in senior management (Directors, VPs) and senior engineering (Tech lead, Chief Architect).

> I would think there are plenty of experienced people all over the world.

Unfortunately, no. Until 2020, remote work was rare so to grow into a senior role, ambitious and talented people had to move to various hubs. That created a feedback loop with all the senior talent flocking to major tech hubs. Now you will find only a tiny proportion of senior talent in non-hub locations.

So if you cut off major US tech hubs (SV, NYC, Seattle, Denver) from your hiring pipeline, you are cutting off a majority of your prospective senior hires.
I don't think academic pharmacologists should try to avoid discovering drugs that have potential for abuse. They should be following medical efficacy - and it seems like generally they are.

Nobody was 'contracted to invent super heroin', they modified molecules with medical efficacy and tested to see which ones were also effective. Drug discovery is a much less deliberate process than you are making it sound.
No, I'm assuming two modes:

One were women were treated as sexual resources to be taken and controlled

Another with more free will.

In both cases, sexual selection would lead the offspring of those that aligned with the dominant male and his group, through free will or coercion, to have greater survival odds due to the dominant male's ability to control or capture resources, or fend off danger.

If you're aware that a majority of stone-age societies practiced communism without hierarchies for several tens of thousands of years to offset this sexual selection, I'd be interested to hear about that period of history.
Your thought reminds me of Socrates' quote on how writing makes people not use their memory.
In Southern California I guess you don’t need heat at all, right? Apparently it only gets down to 42F over there so the pipes won’t even get hurt, let alone the people, who have built in thermoregulation.
I refer to cabin when driving. I like soft mood lighting. I dislike that I could barely see the steering wheel at night, as there is no gauges behind the wheel. Maybe I would get used to it, not sure.
To be fair, GP has a point: unexpected expenses and delays in construction represent sunk costs, and don't matter with respect to maximising profits, as the landlord should pick the price which maximises profits with respect to whatever the operating costs of the apartment are, without considering the cost of construction.

However, as sibling comments to yours mentioned, there are flaws to this perspective:

- You can make the apartments 'better' and charge a premium on top of whatever the better appliances cost. So if that raises operating costs by $100/unit month, raise rent by $200/unit month.

- Real life doesn't always map perfectly onto microeconomic theory. In particular, discovering the profit-maximising price is tricky. However, I would still argue that the landlord would rationally still pick whatever they would assume the profit-maximising price would be.

- Since everyone else is probably facing delays and cost overruns, probably not as much construction is getting done as might have been assumed, therefore the landlord faces less competition than anticipated and can raise rent higher than expected without losing too many prospective tenants.

On a side note, hiking is incredibly popular in Hong Kong (mountain sides too steep to practically build residences right in the middle of one of the most densely populated places on Earth). However, Google maps is comically bad for hiking in Hong Kong.

For years, the Mt. Butler HF radio station was marked as "gas station". (It's the only gas station I've seen with barbed wire locked gate and signs warning of guard dogs.) They've since fixed the HF radio station. However, last I checked, hiking from the North Point MTR to Stanley, Google maps will still try and route you over some overgrown paths, and up the side of a rock quarry where you need to scramble up with the help of some tied together odds and ends of rope someone has helpfully fastened to a small tree. Any sane human would have routed up Siu Ma Shan and along the back side of the quarry over to Park View.

I think that's largely true but not absolutely true. What all investors want is return on capital, what VCs are gambling on is that 1/10 (or 2-3 in a 100) are going to be moonshots, they're taking higher risks and hoping for higher rewards.

The dichotomy of "higher risk vs higher reward", however, isn't as real as people feel it is. There are low-risk & high rewards style investing (it's the base premise of value investing, whether focused or not). VCs do not want you to lose their money, and so doing something that is predictably bad is not what they want.

They do want you to go for moonshots... but again, this is predictably bad. I think you'll be harder pressed to find a company that has continued to do well by over-hiring through pandemic times.
That's true, and I mentioned that what Google is doing now is also demoralizing, but consider the following:

Back before ubiquitous smart phones, I had a (now ex) partner who I discovered couldn't read a map to save their life. I printed out the Google maps route to the nearest Target (we had just moved to a new city) and was surprised when they couldn't give me directions based on the map because I didn't also print out the turn by turn directions (which I considered a redundant waste of paper).

I think that incident was what made me realize that map reading was a skill that actually needed to be learned.
