You're taking what OP said in bad faith. But in my experience most of the people who want to come into an office is precisely because they're lacking a certain social component in their normal lives.

There are so many quantifiably superior reasons to want to work remotely:

- Commute time

– gasoline savings

– can walk one's pets

The only pros I can think of for going into an office are a little more contextual to the specific employee:

- Poor home environment (noisy, distracting, etc)

– Loneliness
Even more then.
Giving working people money ultimately subsidizes shitty employers and landlords making it more likely that low income employed people will need to get government assistance. I’m not saying you shouldn’t do it and other things as well, but such programs have other consequences.

I’m a fan of the opposite angle, using zoning laws to force the construction of large amounts of high density large apartments and then heavily taxing vacancies, think 4br 2k sq ft. (No empty buildings, no new construction made off entirely studios and 1br, ever shrinking). A glut of high rent properties to drive the prices of everything else down, and a reason for people with money not to run to the suburbs and keep income diversity in cities.

The thing is, you never know how a person is going to react to this news. Some are dejected. Some angry. Some vengeful. All it takes is one bad actor to set the rule for the company forever.

Nah. I've done a startup where we did TDD and pair programming (with frequent pair rotation) for all production code. We were incredibly productive. High code quality and good tests mean you get to spend way less time on mysteries and bugs. Aggressively refactoring the system means you end up with flexible, composable units that make it easier to keep up with rapid changes.

It's basically the same deal as cooking. Can I go faster if I dirty all the pans and don't worry about cleaning up? For a little while! And after that, productivity and quality drop. There's a reason that professional chefs are big on "working clean". For those interested, there's a book with a lot good interviews with chefs on their work practices. I think a lot of it translates to software: https://www.workclean.com/
It’s potentially a premature optimisation to not do that expensive operation every time. Loki and brethren have a significant infrastructure cost and cognitive load to consider. I speak from experience and know where the ROI appears and it’s far from the use case specified here.
Homes may be both affordable and an investment as long as median income increases faster than inflation.

Being a good investment is a different question and really comes down to your alternatives. You need to sleep somewhere, and renting includes many overheads. Depending on how you value your time and what skills you have managing your own home can be worthwhile or a waste. A carpenter may use their downtime between jobs to improve and flip their houses while a doctor is wasting time calling people for even the most modest repairs.

Mitochondria need Manganese Super Oxide Dismutase (MnSOD) to mitigate the harmful effects of free radicals/reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Manganese (Mn) and Iron (Fe) share the same gut transporters and other transporters in the body (Divalent Metal Transporter). Fe based ROS generate the most heat in our bodies, which is why we tend not to feel the cold when young, but do when we age.

When looking at the risks of too much manganese like Parkinson's, I wonder if, when we are born, are our Mn levels so high our baby/toddler/child like lack of coordination is due to excess amounts of Mn in the body?

Main risks of excess Mn is from non ingested routes into the body, like inhalation and injection including perinatal (food) drips in hospitals of all places!!!

Mn also does alot more in the body besides becoming MnSOD, so is this study actually witnessing the effects of not enough Manganese in the diet? The Mediterranean diet is high in seafood. Coastal waters have the highest concentration of Manganese which is why I would use mussels for my source of Omega-3 over deep sea fish, because the mussels will have a higher concentration of Manganese than the deep sea fish.

Some studies suggest glycine can increase the lifespan/duration of mitochondria, so are these immune system responses like the one mentioned here an indication of an incomplete or unbalanced diet?
Even more then. They should suffer from Vitamin D deficiency way more then, but we've been living there for tens of thousands of years.
I think you're referring to Tad (https://www.tadviewer.com), which I developed. Tad isn't "the GUI tool for DuckDb"; it's a desktop app that provides a pivot table based viewer for tabular data files (CSV, Parquet, and DuckDb/SQLite database files). It uses DuckDb as its engine, but pre-dates DuckDb and was developed independently. It's listed in the DuckDb docs along with several others tools that work with or use DuckDb. All that said, I'm sorry you found it disappointing, and would welcome any constructive feedback on what specifically you found lacking, either here or to tad-feedback@tadviewer.com.
or did the immune system response deplete vitamin d?
Because that's how it's supposed to work. The US and Canada work together to defend their combined airspace. They're literally under the same chain of command, hence "NORAD". It would be rather inefficient to set that up and then have both countries redundantly responding everywhere.

> Bread takes so much labour at particular timings spread out over the day to make

Mix everything together, let rise for a while (for most recipes; the pizza dough I've made a few times only wants to stand for 10min), and bake.

Surely things can be adjusted to have it rise for 6-8 hours (overnight) rather than for 2-3 hours?

> You could have picked a million better cooking examples, I don't understand why you went with bread.

They picked bread because the ingredients are simple. They've likely never baked bread in their life and have no idea what a time/effort sink it is. It's not the hardest thing to make from scratch but as you say it's not practical for someone with a day job.

This is all besides someone subsisting entirely on bread would end up very malnourished. It might carry a lot of calories but it's missing a lot of important necessary nutrients. But hey the math is simple! Therefore people shouldn't go hungry!
I would say it is a smart move that gets them slightly competitive with Google since they bought DeepMind. Microsoft was so overlooked in 2011, that it was outside of FAANG. It just means that Microsoft has gotten smarter under Satya's leadership by offering services to developers and owning developer platforms to enable that and this seems to be paying off well.

OpenAI is essentially a Microsoft AI division and having a AI model behind a SaaS is hardly revolutionary. I expect this AI hype to be short lived since both Microsoft and Google still have their AI's hallucinating inaccurate information; making them untrustworthy, unreliable and they are admittedly still experimental.

> Media is stupid and so are many techies who are overreacting. In fact even saying lucky is a bit too premature at this point.

Yes, the media does this all the time to generate FUD and nonsense, and they did this to Microsoft before. Thus, it is an absolute over-reaction to immediately declare that Microsoft has 'won' with OpenAI. It just means that this time, Google finally has a serious challenger. This rivalry with overtaking Google dates back since Bing and the 'Scroogled' campaigns for Outlook vs Gmail ads.

In reality, it would take more than just OpenAI to dethrone Google completely. ChatGPT itself won't totally replace search engines. In fact Google would be in a worse position if ChatGPT or the GPT-4 model was already open sourced.

The endgame is an open source AI model that is better than ChatGPT but small enough to fit on a smartphone.
I think it's harder to set up a project initially for it. And converting a brownfield project to tests is a bear.

But once it's working, it's the opposite of overwhelming. The red-green-refactor cycle of TDD lets you take work in very small chunks. And because you get great test coverage as part of it, there are way fewer landmines. For me at least, TDD in a good code base is the most soothing and productive way to work I've found so far.
> Housing can not be both an investment and affordable.

Mathematically this isn’t true, as housing (even owner-occupied housing) pays a dividend [0]. So a house whose price tracks inflation (0% real price return) that pays a 4% dividend in net operating income still has a respectable 4% real return. Juice that return way up with a fixed-rate mortgage and you still have a great investment without home prices racing past affordability for normal people.

But that’s just the theoretical perspective. I don’t know if housing can be a good investment and affordable in practice.

Why do you get to decide which businesses should survive? The market decides, just like it sets wages.

Your argument is that, if we get rid of welfare, companies will raise wages. So welfare is just taxpayers subsidizing companies. You've constructed an argument to get rid of welfare!
What a strange wandering analogy-laden article. The actual benefits of open-source software to governments are pretty clear:

1) Many government services and programs rely heavily on software. Private vendors who supply proprietary software solutions to governments at high cost could be replaced by open-source solutions maintained by government employees, with the core code for each critical package updated regularly and checked constantly for security flaws by a separate entity.

2) Note that in this scenario, a great many techs across a wide variety of government agencies would be responsible for installing, monitoring, updating etc. their local systems, but the actual job of developing and maintaining the code body would be the job of another entity - something like a government-funded academic foundation.

So yes, uninstall Windows across the board and install Linux. Huge savings right there. See Brazil, 2005:

https://www.nytimes.com/2005/03/29/technology/brazil-free-so...

As far as the actual software-infrastructure interface, i.e. the code that critical infrastructure from the FAA to the trains to the electricity grid relies upon, let alone the nuclear power plants, well, "Stuxnet" is the first thing that should come to mind. That's a situation were security thinking should come first, and open-source avoids the 'security-through-obscurity' flaw, at least.
To clarify the issue isn't really shortage of single family homes by itself but single family homes nearby amenities (jobs etc...)

I don't see it happening. The Chinese have no power projection capability. Their technology continues to lag behind the US in everything, space, computing, medical, advanced manufacturing, etc. The Russian's have a far more sophisticated and practiced military than the Chinese and their invasion of Ukraine is quickly turning into a failure.

I can describe the next 10-15 years: The US will have complete and overwhelming dominance of space, AI, weapons, energy, and onshoring of things like chip manufacturing. De-globalization will be a BIG problem for China and Russia. These are the last gasps of deluded authoritarians who see the writing on the wall and are about to lose the little economic leverage that they had in the 21st century.

Honestly "Dark matter is also believed to interact with ordinary matter in ways other than gravitational." is wishful thinking. Why? We have no a priori reason to believe that matter must have multimodal interactions, and there is potentially a real ontological crisis. If dark matter only interacts gravitationally - which even people who don't "believe in dm" must accept is a possibility, them dark matter is unfalsifiable, so we have to be ok with the possibility that there is something in the universe that exists but we cannot ever satisfactorily argue that it does. LCDM advocates know that they are on philosophically shakier ground if that's the case, but aren't brave enough to admit it because they are afraid it weakens their main cause by association (to be fair it does, we should probably be exploring other explanations first)

Your thesis is a large number of people are right at the inflection point between being able to afford mortgage payments but cannot qualify for a mortgage. I don’t mean to sound harsh but this seems like a highly unlikely explanation.

I really don't understand this to the point it feels comical. It's not practical to make bread if you have a day job???? There's like 20 minutes of work in making bread and the timings are actually extremely forgiving not "particular" at all. Seriously now what a bizarre conversation.
Misdiagnosis are common when trying to get treated for almost any medical issue, because humans are not orderly, rational machines with well defined inputs and outputs. Gender issues are perhaps an easier one to look at and go "I'm pretty sure you got it wrong, doc" because you can look at someone and instinctively think "that's a man" or "that's a woman". But whether it's back pain that's actually caused by an incredibly rare knee cancer or a doctor misdiagnosing the cause of an ultimately harmless migraine, you run the risk of this any time you go to a physician. I've personally lost people I care about to misdiagnosis but it's still just a fact that I decide to accept: Physicians may try hard, but they're not perfect.

If a problem isn't severe, that might be a reason to avoid medical intervention so you don't take on that risk. But if you're really struggling to cope or it seems like you might have a serious problem, you should probably see a doctor. If their diagnosis makes you ask more questions, get a second opinion, or a third one!

Similarly, basically any surgery has the risk of complications, and lots of interventions we perform on a regular basis have a small but real risk of harm. It's something that comes with medicine, and overall, people live longer and happier lives because medicine usually works out. I postponed wisdom teeth extraction for years because the first dentist I saw about it put the fear of god into me about the terrifying risks of anesthesia, and ended up regretting it because they had to come out eventually anyway. But if I had been that rare statistic to die from anesthesia, maybe it would've been the right choice? I lean towards no, personally.

As far as blocking people from treating the root of the problem - while this is a real issue, if the secondary problem is seriously lowering someone's quality of life, there's something to be said for stopping the bleeding (so to speak) long enough to start working on everything else that's causing issues. It's a matter of triage - sometimes root causes simply cannot be dealt with fast enough to postpone dealing with everything else. A non-surgical gender intervention like blockers to get someone onto stable footing for a year or two could be a great step in order to refocus on everything else, and maybe at the end of that time they decide they don't need meds or surgery.
I stayed in Verdun for a couple of nights on a trip through France last year. I explored the forest a bit, and noticed there are two kinds of rocks on the ground: White, chalky ones and brown ones. The brown ones are fragments of artillery shells.
Do your zoom meetings occupy eight hours a day? because that's what working in an office is.

When I work from home I might have a few meetings in a day, but I'm just a few steps away from hugging my wife, and nuzzling my dog any time I want. While the people at my office might be casual acquaintances and in some cases friends, they'll never ever compare to the bonds of family.

My gut feeling, having read all about how the balloon was NBD, and it wasn't worth the risk of shooting down over land, it happens all the time, etc., was that the publicity of an airspace incursion this time around required a response along the lines of, "F*CK YOUR BALLOON!".
