One can define effort in that way, and arrive at the conclusion you did, but it is not what cognitive dissonance is typically used to mean.

But that definition of effort as it relates to the ability to “survive” does not seem useful to me. It takes a lot of effort to manually dig a ditch compared to using an excavator, but you would not pay the person that shows up with a shovel more than the person that shows up with an excavator.

Edit: this is not intended to say your friend does not deserve a better pay to quality of life (QoL) ratio. However, the fact that you have a comparably favorable pay to QoL and they have an undesirable pay to QoL ratio means society does not want more people to be selling that labor, but rather more people to be selling your labor.
"everyone that counts"

There - fixed it.
There's a very simple solution to this problem:

* any and every landlord immediately pays taxes based on the asking rent, no matter what rent it is.

If a landlord is asking $2500/mo for something, the government immediately values the property based on whatever the formula is based off the asking rent, even if the landlord cannot fill the space.

> Remote work requires higher seniority

I wouldn't say that, it just requires better juniors.

You can't do as much hand holding remotely but remote mentoring is definitely possible. But it requires employees that have above average communication skills and an ability to debug and investigate themselves.

These abilities aren't cheap but pretty much required to pass a serious Engineering/CS program. The difference is just night and day.

Homes are incredibly complicated...

- I know people who rent who have had their period end by the owner. The owner plans to "update" the place and rent it for a lot more. Renting prices do go up over time. This sucks if one wants to be in one place long term.

- There aren't enough homes out there. And, in many locations there are not enough people to build them. A lack of skilled trades to do the work. This drives up home prices because of supply/demand.

- I know financial people who say NOT to treat your primary home as an investment. It's something you aren't really going to be able to leverage while your thriving in life.

And so much more...

Normally, this solution works great.

At Twitter's scale with the number of API users they had, I can't imagine how they'd filter the signal out of the noise.

This is very much a "someone would have had to know we're using our own API to avoid this disaster" scenario, which is an institutional knowledge problem. The kind of problem that gets hard to solve when XX% of your workforce suddenly left to seek new opportunities.
> This is pretty much the crux of it. High housing prices could be "fixed" almost overnight, but for almost every citizen of the first world, their house is the single biggest investment they will ever make in their life. You'd be destroying everyone's retirement plans and there'd be major economic repercussions.

I wonder if one way out would be to 1) build government rental-housing projects again, to fill the immediate housing need, and 2) implement other policies to increase home-building (but only enough to keep price increases below inflation).

One serious problem would be the association of housing projects with crime and poverty, but maybe that could be addressed by putting police stations on the first floor (or something) and eminent-domaining them into upscale areas over luxury housing.

Programmatic SEO has a long history of being conflated with spam, though, it is not. There are many instances where this approach to creating content is the best approach for users, and many are surprised to learn how often and how much programmatic content they consume (I often use nutritional information as an example).

I've talked about this at length on my twitter, podcast interviews, and my free course on the subject. I will put links to these below. If you're concerned about the efficacy and morality of programmatic SEO, I'd suggest getting more information from these resources in order to make an informed opinion.

Also, my product does not provide any AI services. I know it's common for people to assume "programmatic" means "AI", but this strategy has been around much longer than AI.

It's long hours in a hot, cramped, very high stress environment for peanuts. Not to mention the terrible hours.

Programming Scavenger Hunt
about 10 years ago, I did a programming scavenger hunt with my colleagues which was good fun. Every next challenge required you to program a solution. Only when you found the solution, you could move on to the next one. It was very varied. 1 challenge required you to beat the computer in rock/paper/scissors, one required you to look at the ascii codes. Based on this description, is there anybody that can tell me the name of this scavenger hunt?
Google used to have a "Forums" tab right on the top that would filter results to random PHPbb instances and the like. It was generally pretty great. As far as I'm concerned, the decision to remove that was when Google started dying.

>Even packaged breads, including those high in nutritious whole grains, qualify as ultra-processed in many cases because of the additives and preservatives they contain.

However much I'd like to alter my diet to be more healthy, including flavored nuts or bread as ultraprocessed means I have nearly zero chance avoiding a sizable portion of what academic scientists label as ultraprocessed.

These studies and press releases seem counterproductive. If sliced bread or fancy nuts is in the same category as aerosol cheese or high calorie soda, a lot of people are going to struggle to understand what isn't ultraprocessed and give up trying to select better items at the grocery store.
There are lots of things that shouldn't be done only for profit - healthcare for example. Food, water. Companies like Nestle do all kinds of unethical, but legal stuff and get away with it.

It's a complex topic, even details are left out in this long form article.

1. In our highly financialized society, and with many of us essentially worshipping money, it first needs to be said that not every choice needs to be financially optimal to be the best choice for your life. Buying a home is not just a financial choice, but a lifestyle change. They work with different units so the math cannot cross over, save for maybe considering comparable goods/utility in an economic sense (what else could you do with the same financial outcomes, which do you prefer)

2. Buying a house comes as a mix of rarifying asset, high value depreciating good, and liability. The land in a growing city is increasingly becoming rare (like the art example in the article), a depreciating house (eg, depreciate your roof over 20 yrs, your hot water tank over 5-10 etc), and a liability -- you now have to pay HOA + taxes on the value of the property until disposed of. (And note the steep exit fee that using a realtor costs. That significantly eats into your appreciation)

3. Because your house's rental market value is roughly proportional to it's underlying asset value, the more your house appreciates, the more marginal opportunity you give up by living in it. That is, you essentially are consuming the rental value of the house as a lifestyle choice -- that's essentially the definition of a liability, therefore 4.

4. The home you live in is a liability (a recurring cost center and lost opportunity cost, potentially still at net profit after the appreciation of the land), a property you rent out is an income producing asset (potentially still at a loss after expenses).

5. Anecdotally, most people who I have seen swear they made "so much money" on their home are actually failing to do the math well. Total cost of ownership of a home + buy/sell transaction costs + tax burden + maintenance + lost opportunity to invest in other assets has rarely, if ever, been profitable in my maths. Speculating on distressed assets at market bottoms or other contrarian times would be the exception, but that can be very profitable for experts with capital in most any asset market (eg used cars made money for a few years there).

We can build a fuel station on Moon, which will make pellets of fuel, then shot them in direction of a spacecraft at Moon orbit. Spacecraft can collect them, then fuel an ionic drive for constant acceleration for weeks. Moon has low gravity, no atmosphere, thus it makes it ideal for a railgun[0].

With a fuel station on Moon, it will be much cheaper to reach Mars, so it will be possible to build second fuel station at Fobos. With two fuel stations, it will be even cheaper to refuel a spacecraft for long-range missions.

An interesting thing about these transistors is they look like standard power transistors in a metal TO-3 package. However, the transistor itself is in a round metal package, and the metal flange is separate, and holds down the transistor. Soviet electronics is like an alternate universe where things are similar but also unexpectedly different. (Vintage IBM electronics has the same feel.)
I have seen them jammed. Replaced with straight wire, etc.

Also where I live has houses that predate electricity - in my area of the northeast US, for instance. So some of the wiring is, most definitely, old.

It is unfortunate that businesses are behind in rolling out IPv6. I get the impression that IPv6-only is more doable and has more advantages for business. It is feasible to run NAT64 in business cause don't have to support as much old software like games that people want to play. It helps with internal addressing issues which get complicated in big companies with acquisitions. Finally, it adds a security barrier between IPv4 for external and IPv6 for internal.

But upgrading a working network is lots of trouble. Most existing businesses have plenty of public IPv4 addresses and don't have to conserve.
Every time I see this I have to laugh. If you live in Tokyo, I'd love to hear your anecdotal experience.

I have stayed and visited japan for the last 35 years, and find all of the "Tokyo is so affordable and buildable" is hilarious. The breathless articles I read about it leave out fundamental aspects (the incredible density, the absolute destruction 70 years ago, the corruption [especially in Shinjuku], the size of the "livable apartments", the need to rebuild anything from before 1980 for earthquake safety, that youth population falling by half, the stagnation of wages), and the fact that most people who can leave Tokyo to raise children do (even if it means commuting 2hrs each way every day on a train).

This just doesn't match anywhere in the US or frankly almost anywhere else in the world. I know 2 people who actually still live in Tokyo. One is a 28 year old single foreigner, and the other is stuck in a 100 year mortgage with their extended family. All the rest moved.

I use the app for a couple hours a day (according to my iPhone weekly reports), and have barely noticed any degradation since "the takeover". (Notwithstanding the obvious outage happening currently).

There's been a few minor glitches for sure, but then what large service is immune? Facebook, Exchange, AWS, etc. have all had notable outages this past year, and the Apple Services I regularly use (Apple Music, Siri, etc.) "fail" more often for me in daily use.

Maybe you're trying to do something more advanced than me, or are using a less reliable platform somehow, but generally I find all the "Twitter is so dead" talk being confirmation bias from folks that really want it to fail in light of recent changes.
I think Alexa works as a pretty good, inexpensive home automation system. I never use Alexa as a general assistant or search engine, but I do have some Echos throughout the house that work well for voice controlling my outdoor lights, home stereo, garage door, and thermostat. The Skills system works well for me, and I each time I've added some internet-connected device I look for Alexa compatibility. So in that sense it's a plus for Amazon.

When they supported the Dash Wand, it was a great weatherproof remote control for my outdoor audio. But all of this stuff has not motivated me to otherwise shop more or whatever (which was specifically their main goal with the Dash Wand.) I also remember getting some of those Amazon button things for re-ordering stuff, but they were more trouble than they were worth- I accidentally pushed the button a lot more than I ever intentionally did.

I've been screaming about the OpenDoor's and RedfinNow's of the world for several years. These are in effect payday lenders for homes, dangling low all-cash offers to entice desperate sellers to hit the bid quickly. Ironically, these companies manage to lose money anyway, perhaps yet another sign that SFH's weren't meant for this. Incredible that even after 2008, we have yet to really learn that the financialization of people's homes should be pretty darn close to a non-starter.
"that's life" like this is an inevitable fact of the universe we must live with? No, this is the world we have made.

It's more complicated than that, because there is a substantial trade in fish export to China, where processing happens, followed by re-export back to the US.

2019 figures:

* U.S. commercial fishermen landed 9.3 billion pounds of seafood
* Americans consumed 6.3 billion pounds of seafood

Given imports are more processed than exports, a part of that difference is presumably waste & less desirable byproducts. So it seems fair to conclude that the US eats pretty close to the amount of seafood that it produces.

In $ terms (because of the value add of processing), US seafood imports are roughly 4x exports.

There are many other factors that could be relevant here.

As the article says, ultra-processed food tends to be low in nutrients. Given the little we know, that seems as likely a cause as anything else here.

Also, these are not randomized studies, as they also mention. So it is possible that, say, frozen meals are used more by a higher-risk population for other reasons (like cost), and this is just a correlation.

I'm not under the impression that most restaurateurs are "raking it in" staff be damned. Sure, at the ultra high end, yes, but for most restaurants a chef pay is function of the market, right?
congrats on launching! 1) how do you evaluate the opportunity here vs previous players like Humanloop (seems to have pivoted to weak labeling) and Dust.tt (unclear traction)?

and 2) it seems with OpenAI being so far ahead of everyone else (https://crfm.stanford.edu/helm/latest/?group=core_scenarios) I think the "model interoperability" is a key assumption that needs to be tested. Nobody's talking about "model interoperability" between dalle, midjourney, or stable diffusion - they each have their strengths, and that's that. prompts aren't code that can be shipped indiscriminately everywhere, they only exist within the context of the model they are run against

It appears that when Twitter goes down, its engineers were indispensable but when it's up, it's because the engineers foresaw this.
