I was raised pretty much alone and spent far far too much time on the computer, always online and on the internet other than going to school and "surviving" - was exposed to 4chan at a young age, nobody monitoring what I was doing online, nobody caring for my struggles in school growing up other than "oh you've got great marks, you must be doing well in school!". My parents didn't really pay attention to me growing up other than to serve their own emotional interests which didn't help.

I'm 100% sure it's the primary reason that I'm so socially disadvantaged now in my late 20's - and honestly, probably why my late-diagnosis ADHD and its symptoms are as bad as they are now. The depression and anxieties are huge - and I still spend _far, far_ too much time online recreationally playing video games instead of doing actual work advancing my career.

Yes, the world is increasingly digital - yes, the world is going to be/already is "a computer in every pocket, a device in every room"... that doesn't mean we can't teach our children moderation. Make sure you know what your kids are watching online. Don't substitute parenting with a tablet because you're tired, you had a bad day at work, etc. etc. - I understand there's a lot of specific instances (single mothers/fathers, both parents working long hours, etc. etc.) that encourage this too and it's sad that society has encouraged these behaviors for so long.

A family member of mine allowed her 10 year old to make a TikTok account even though there's a strict age limit of 13 - I shudder to think about the content that the app is filling their easily impressionable mind with at such a young age...

YouTube is a video-sharing service designed to serve as many ads as possible into your eyeballs. It's obvious that if you leave a child to their own devices (hahaha) that they're going to get the full, "un-moderated" Youtube Kids experience. Toy ads disguised as videos, commercial lifestyles disguised as "influencers", etc. etc. I'm sure there's a lot of decent content there but it's up to the parent to teach kids moderation, teach kids to get off the screen and get outside, talk to friends in person, etc. etc.

There's only so much you can do though with the hours you have in a day. Hopefully society changes and begins to realize that these tools are harmful as much as they are helpful if not used properly.

Hate to be a black cloud, but as much as I love containers, my containers and their settings often disappeared. I can no longer remember exactly why. it may be if i disabled containers and then re-enabled them. (Containers may be a source of glitches so disabling is to help with troubleshooting.)

getpocket.com needs to be logged in via container 0. if you put getpocket to a personal container, and don't login to getpocket from container 0, then firefox's save to pocket feature does not work.

i cannot save bookmarks to automatically open in set containers (personal gmail to open in one container, work gmail to open in another container, etc.).

Otherwise, containers is something i miss and i have used workarounds to implement the same with MS Edge.
In my country, the trend of smoking tobacco in tech circles is going down. I am not sure why but it was considered quite "cool" if you code and smoke. There was a trend of smoking cigarettes after every hour to have that much-needed break to think about the problems that you were stuck on and bitch about HR. However, I am seeing a decline probably due to vaping.

I kind of agree, but when you're trying to research truly new stuff, a priori you don't know which are the promising avenues. Newton spent most of his life studying teology and alchemy, which now we know would never take him anywhere compared to physics, optics, or even running the Royal Mint, but at the time there was no way for him to know this.

"I mean that topic like this would not even see the light of day if there wasn’t source of significant support; hint, there is."

Where are you from? This is an initiative of the EU Commission. The EU is not a democracy, the Commission doesn't care what voters think and is quite open about that. It can take that attitude because there are no voters: the Commission is an appointed civil service and the people there get their jobs via opaque processes. So the Commission trying to do something tells us exactly nothing about society, democracy, the will of the majority, how supported the policy is, or anything else beyond what a tiny club of Eurocrats thinks and wants.

As for the percentage of people who want to live in a totalitarian system, it's probably about 25%-30%. A lot but not a majority. That's roughly the proportion of people who in polls in the UK during the Brexit campaigns said they're true EU supporters, and not merely supporting it due to fear of the consequences of disobedience. Why do they like it and support it so much, well, exactly because it's not a democratic system and they'd like to live under such a system (they had no answer back to criticism of the EU as undemocratic).

It helps a lot to practice this skill, because I trade for a living and I need to be able to convince myself that I am wrong about something all the time.

That point I was trying to make is that if the economy were bad enough, people would vote out the incumbent government in droves. The vote is a safety value that prevents riots and armed revolution. Autocracies are brittle to changing public perception and can go the way of the guillotine.

The problem with Carmack and many like him, is that they
think of themselves as purely rational beings operating
within scientific frameworks and based purely on scientific
results, but whenever they step outside the technical fields
in which they work, they are ignorant and dogmatic.

I mean, what's the alternative? For a guy like Carmack to only comment on narrow areas in his field(s) of expertise? He's a human being; I think he's allowed to comment on other topics and I tend to find his comments interesting because I understand them in IMO the correct context -- they're one guy's musings, not pithy declarations and edicts.

The problems arise when folks start to present themselves as experts and try to hold sway over others in areas in which they have no clue. That's not what I see here.

FWIW I believe you're talking about Mammoths, not Mastodons. Similar but not same animal. Mastodons are believed to have gone totally extinct around 10,000 years ago.

There's so much evidence of human hunting of Mastodons, and the timelines are co-related so highly, it's hard to believe we weren't involved heavily in their extinction even if there were other (climate/habitat) related factors.

Then you have either negotiated your share in value creation poorly or your skills are easily sourced.

Irrespective of that you are assuming happiness is just associated to absolute monetary wealth - which I disagree with. If basic resources and needs are catered for and the rest is spent on luxury goods or extravagant lifestyles - how would I care? If you want to still play that game, just travel and ask yourself what a person living in India/Bangladesh/Laos would say about your first world problems. Being born into a wealthy society is the most important differentiator for wealth - and I assume you are totally ok with the luck you had there!?
This is a frustrating point of view to me. We have nearly every able bodied person in society spending something like 1/3rd of their life on this "dignity", but how many would define it as such? For most people it is an inversion of free will where they are subservient to others and treated as a replaceable cog in a larger and uncaring machine, spending time on something that they may very well hate or at least otherwise choose not to do. All to justify their existence and provide value to society, though for some nominally because there is a growing number of bullshit jobs where the value provided is questionable and the people going through the motions.

It does not need to be that way. In an ideal world, human beings should be free to spend their time doing what they wish, work should be purely in the realm of hobby. No one should have to do work that they would not voluntarily choose to do for enjoyment.

The only way we get there is through AI and the automation of everything. I don't even think it's avoidable -- provided civilization does not collapse, we will 100% reach a point where everything required to sustain a civilization is performed by machines.

We shouldn't let fear keep us in a status quo that, while better than it has ever been historically, is still highly flawed.

As pointed out elsewhere in this thread, the counterparty risk to these shorts makes it nearly impossible to do.

And this information has been public for years, including the NYAG evidence which is very damning, but no one seems to actually care - or it’s being propped up successfully regardless.

Even in this thread there are folks who refuse to believe things Tether themselves have admitted to under oath and things Tether says in their own TOS now.

At this point, even if you had authenticated video of the Tether founders admitting it was all a giant scam, would it change the market behavior? I kind of doubt it.

Make your case to your manager about the benefits to the team and business and that tool and ask if you could buy one license for evaluation.

The process to approve an expense of only $150 should be relatively straightforward. So you may need to consider whether your manager might in fact be stalling.
> Can't cite their sources?

Has there been research on neural nets who could cite their sources? In common cases, thousands or millions of items in the training set have contributed to the weights in the pathways that activate for a certain input. But maybe for some inputs, only a small number of items in the training set contributed strongly to the weights on the pathways the are decisive to the output? Could you design a data structure that would keep this information in the neural net?

I'm no economist, but I think it's fair to raise rates slowly after a long slow economic recovery where you're barely seeing any inflation even when markets and jobs are hot. I also think it's fair to raise rates quickly when there's a huge spike in inflation due to at least partly to excess money supply,which does not go away after waiting a few months.
Always find the solidifying legacy as incentive weird because after you die assuming you can’t see what happens, nothing matters. Maybe so are all incentives, so whatever works for you
Amazon has actively supported selling counterfeit items for years.

Allowing companies to take over product pages with lots of positive reviews is actively misleading. If they actually cared then new product = remove all old review.

Mixing inventory between different sellers actively drives away reputable business. You can ship a box of legit items to Amazon and they send a counterfeit item to your customer who then dings your reputation. That’s crazy.
Out of curiosity, I'd have the following questions:

1. Would you be able to notice if it made something up, given that it's going beyond the detail that you know?

2. Did it have any details that aren't covered in:

Nah, don't think so. With such low unemployment you basically have full employment, that is how economist would describe the situation since it can't got to 0%. Now the wages go up, since you have more competition for labor force and of course people want higher wages based on inflation.

PS:
Sure, more people retired and the labor participation rate is lower then before covid. BUT you will not get them back to work with an increase of 10% or let's say 20% in salary. They retired, that's it.
Rust is amazing, I truly believe a large number of people are intimidated by it and so go out of their way to shit on it and pretend like it's only for some niche IOT device... when it's just as easy to write out a full crud application in Rust as any other language at this point.
Even for a new strategy, using a tape abstraction might simplify the design and/or implementation because backup tools and culture have their roots in tape.

> Amazon makes it harder and harder to do this, de-emphasising the seller in listings.

You make me suspect I might be using Amazon wrong. Amazon's search is notoriously bad, but if you know what you want them you can go there and buy it. Just don't do stupid things like buying a 20 dollar item whose cost is 1 dollar price with a 19 dollar shipping fee, or buying weird things from shady sellers who just dropped by out of nowhere.

But that's just me. Perhaps I'm using it wrong. Who knows.
In my experience from asking it questions about things that I know well, the deeper you get into the weeds with it, the more likely it is to invent some kind of extremely plausible-sounding but incorrect answer. How confident are you that what it told you is actually correct?

> Is wage inflation the only part of inflation?

No, there are many factors. The supply chain plays a big part, as we've seen during the pandemic.

Corporate profiteering also plays a big part.

> How do you reduce general inflation without hitting jobs?

I'm not answering the question because I'm not committed to reducing "general" inflation.

I'm happy to increase wage inflation, especially at the lower end.

I would like to reduce specific forms of inflation, for example, health care cost inflation and school tuition inflation.

Whether costs should go up, down, or stay the same all depends on the specific product.
You should probably look at "net worth" with a normalization for age as it would be unfair to compare the 20-40 range vs the 60-80 range. Taking on debt vs paying off debt.

Now to be fair I am not sure you can normalize this as we don't know what the future holds but it's worth noting for anyone sub 30 years old.
History is shorter than we think.

In the US, I have relatives that were locked in closets by teachers and had their knuckles rapped for using their left hands.

A combination of factors (cameras and modern communications systems being two significant ones) have shone a lot of light into what used to be very dark corners.
> Those silly governments, making sure the medical system was slowly whittled down from something that was once actually pretty good at taking care of it's citizens to a system that forced/required society to completely grind to a halt from a pandemic because of exterior motives (votes, profits, etc.)

Lockdowns were almost universal, and also happened in countries where the healthcare systems are robust.

Healthcare systems are statistical mechanisms. They can't treat abnormal amounts of people at once. And no, we can't overbuild them to cover extreme contingency, it's not economically viable.

It's the same thing as with bank runs or your ISP's network bandwidth.
Extracting money violently from people to give it free to others creates a whole subculture of people who will do the very minimum and be totally dependent on the state. we saw it during the pandemic how many people refused to work. A bare bones safety net so people don't starve makes sense, but full lifestyle subcidies do not. It rots society and its theft from those who are productive.
Fed interest rate policy is stimulating rather than slowing down the economy. They don't seem to realize this. We are at risk of getting into an recursive loop here.
1) Fed increases rates in an effort to reduce demand and slow economy.
2) Holders of federal debt instruments -the public- receive a raise every month
a) They spend more into the economy.
3) Economic indicators remain positive or increase ( see GDP, employment, prices, etc)
4) Fed thinks economy is still to strong
5) Goto 1

That's a funny rewriting of history, because we know that the casualty rate among enlisted (i.e. conscripted, in wwi and wwii) was much higher than for officers. The former were servants, factory labourers, peasants, etc, while the latter was a category reserved for the privileged.
Watch them sneak in and steal search. Over the years, Google lost any sort of moral moat that put them above Microsoft. Does anybody think that Microsoft is more intrusive and user-aggressive than Google any more? It's six of one and a half dozen of the other, and if I use Linux or a Mac at home, Microsoft doesn't seem overly interested in me at all aside from trying to sell me Office. Google's probably trying to figure out a way to license my brainwaves.
Saving leads to more people having enough to risk entrepreneurship and investment. Both lead to real economic growth.
> you could try to make OpenSSL memory safe by rewriting it in Rust

Or just write a better crypto stack without the many legacy constraints holding OpenSSL back. Rustls (https://github.com/rustls/rustls) does that. It has also been audited and found to be excellent - report (https://github.com/rustls/rustls/blob/main/audit/TLS-01-repo...).

You're suggesting writing this stack in a GC language. That's possible, except most people looking for an OpenSSL solution probably won't be willing to take the hit of slower run time perf and possible GC pauses (even if these might be small in practice). Also, these are hypothetical for now. Rustls exists today.
Nope. But ‘cost of money’ + x% (where x% is based on risk of repayment, and cost of money includes inflation) is a hard rule for a lender to avoid without going bankrupt.
