>how he can disentangle biological from cultural and social causes with such absolute conviction is mystifying.

He doesn't have to disentangle the two completely, he just strongly believes that there's a non-trivial biological contribution to these outcomes. Which already puts his views "well outside the liberal mainstream".

There was a ton of nudity in 80's movies.

The internet stole the show and actors started pushing back against it because it was still culturally taboo. Only now are we starting to see a big reversion and normalization of nudity in the arts.

Netflix and HBO are dialing up on nudity and sex. Millennials and Gen Z like it, and they have the metrics to show for it.

"That the celestial bodies are not always reliable became evident when no astrologer was able to predict that on March 30, 1981, at 2:27 p.m., EST, President Reagan would be shot in the chest during an assassination attempt.",
"Unfortunately, her occupations had precluded her from doing this."

Quigley wasn't his astrologer at the time. I believe she was either dismissed from his service, or had left for some other reason. She was called back to his service after the shooting.

"Today, people’s blind belief in the power of astrology to reveal the future strikes us as absurd, because our mental stance is radically different."

Blind belief in anything is absurd.

This guy seems to conflate pop astrologers / grifters with actual astrologers. The grifters will claim to be able to predict the future. Actual astrologers will claim to explain the fields of possibility that will present themselves to people using archetypal languages; this is what astrology 'actually is': a language of archetypes. It has been my experience that 100% of the time it is people who know very little about astrology (like the author of this article) who deride it as 'false'. But that's about as useful as saying chemistry or Swahili is false.

"the astrologer-physician predicted that Hamilton would live happily, but would be in danger of dying from cardiac disease", "he predicted a life of political as well as ecclesiastical power.", "he foretold that the young king was going to live a long life"

This... is not how astrology works at all. Grifter or just woefully uninformed.

Direct experience. You're going to have a hard time finding public documentation about a battery maker owning up to firmware causing a fire. Usually the product the battery winds up in takes public responsibility for the issues and they'll list the problem as quality control. In the case I'm describing, we had to get the firmware code from the battery manufacturer and rewrite the firmware while we shopped for an alternative battery with better quality control.

To cause a fire, you'd remove the limits on overcharging.
I think they're still relevant but in a different way. Upper-class parents have higher expectations for the amount of extracurricular education and activities their children are going to do and it's infeasible for them to do that with many.
USB? -48v? And there's a whole ecosystem of 12v stuff under the RV umbrella.

Seems like what's lacking isn't a standard (or rather the basis for a standard), but a market leader to say "we're gonna back this". But you've got way more insight than I do and I'm undoubtedly underestimating the effort.

But a man must see to his own sustenance; and Jerome was constrained to prepare horoscopes to earn his keep.

Ah, money. "The root of all evil."

I have a hypothesis that astrologers (of this era) were learned men who weren't nobility or such themselves. They gave good advice because they knew a lot, not because the "stars" told them anything, then chalked it up to "the stars say so" because both kings and astrologers were equally uncomfortable with admitting that a learned commoner was the power behind the throne.

And then sometimes nobility, being human, wanted astrologers to reassure them about the future in ways that were beyond their capacity to meaningfully predict anything but they were in no position to say "no."
Just tried it, Super cool.

I agree it would be fantastic to have sub second deploys! Doing this for user specified Python environments is challenging in different ways than doing it for a JS SDK like Workers. Note that just provisioning a GitHub runner takes about 10s, before any deploy code even starts up. In theory we could rsync the code directly to the code server and reload it. But any of these options require bigger architectural changes.

Also you can already have a local environment setup for faster iteration and use this for the shared environments with other developers, where the speedup is still great to have.

> Purely economically, only a total moron would have a child.

OK but nobody is making that decision "purely economically." Returning to a world of filial piety laws and no real social safety net sounds nightmarish.
And that business model produces market concentration.

An ISP grows a large user base by doing aggressive price competition, then starts shaking down services, rate limiting their traffic if they don't pay up. The services are over a barrel and pay, after which the ISP's users don't see slowdowns and have no reason to switch. Meanwhile they use some of the shakedown money to lower prices and get more users. Smaller ISPs don't have as much leverage to extract the danegeld so they can't compete.

It makes perfect sense to prohibit that business model as an antitrust measure.
Hence the legit protests.

Even if an EV is powered by 100% coal, it still only produces the same CO2 as a 50mpg ICEV. Natural gas produces significantly less CO2 than coal. Most locations have a mix of power sources that are at partially or majority renewable.
So once it's done one line, when it's writing the next line, it will be stuck with being force to rhyme with whatever it came up with on the first line? Curious what happens when the first line ends in the word 'orange' (or maybe it tries to pick end-of-line-words based on rhyme-ability?)
I suppose it depends on the market--inkjet printers isn't one of them[0]. Brother printers however have quite user-friendly policies.

I'm in agreement that Apple does not know how ipads are actually used in many families. There is nothing personal or private on our shared ipads, either, and it makes no sense to tightly bind each physical device to a single person's appleid. They are basically roaming web browsers and game screens. Nobody reads their email on them, for example. And this doesn't even get into the question of whether a small child should need to remember usernames and passwords and consent to EULAs. The devices should have settings which respect that while some individual's appleid (e.g. mine) is ultimately responsible for the device, that in no way reflects who the typical user of the device is or what they should have access to in the corresponding apple account. A checkbox during setup that says "this is a shared device that should not have access to my personal data" would be perfectly fine.
I would, personally, love to read at least one source. Which you didn’t even provide for some reason. And I mean that, I would happily read any source you provide, with a preference for more academic sources.
I've spent some time trying to learn FreeCAD and ultimately decided that the cost of Fusion 360 pays for itself several times over in productivity compared to trying to deal with how clunky and difficult FreeCAD is.

Alternatively PCB stuff in Fusion is pretty horrible and IMO worse than Eagle was before they all but abandon it and started shoe honing it into Fusion. Meanwhile KiCad continues to get better and more feature rich.
The selling trucks to everyone was probably more due to that fact that in 1964 the US imposed a 25% tax on imported light trucks to retaliate for a European tax on US chicken (google chicken tax). This highly motivated domestic manufactures to promote truck purchases (and later SUVs). 60 years of marketing and here we are.

The tax is still in effect.

This article re: imaging floppies in the analog domain made the rounds on HN a couple years ago:

https://scarybeastsecurity.blogspot.com/2021/05/recovering-l...

The comments have some good links and background:

yeah or just what about an article or even a whole book on the subject of:

"You're gonna move your home network to ipv6, here's what you need to know to not f&^k up hard and get pwned" At the level like we know for ipv4.

Right now, I actively disable ipv6 in devices on my network because I don't have a clue about how it all works. Am I making something addressable from the public internet? Am leaking every mac address I have? So much more I'm sure I havent even considered.

Then when you look at ipv6 tutorials you see nuts things like each octet containing a zero value can be shortened to just a single zero :00000000: becomes :0: ok fine, but consecutive octets of zero are removed so :00000000:00000000: becomes :: swallowing a delimiter so programming this stuff you can't even just split on the delim and /know/ what octet is where. Now maybe theres a good reason for that but where is the explanation? Not in any of the tutorials that have to explain how this stuff works rather than something, you know, useful. As presented it's pure additional, utterly meaningless, learning overhead.

So yeah. I'm too stupid to run ipv6 and I know it. But I'm not nearly as stupid as those who claim it's ready for prime time because it damn well isn't.

Anyone thinks it is. Link the document with a time estimate on running a home network with ipv6 knowing what you need to know (and know already for ipv4) to not do something idiotic.

In this crowd, we'll learn stuff just because it looks cool and you can't reach us? Get outta here.
Bullshit jobs are not specific to state capitalist ("socialist") economies - they are a constant of all capitalist systems, as common in big corporations in the USA as they are in China or they were in the USSR. They do tend to take different shapes, but they are a natural effect of corruption, which tends to affect all large organizations.
But ISPs obviously do have competition.

And the desire for social media censorship goes way beyond biased recommendation engines. Based on the reaction to Musk's "zero recommendation score" proposal for hateful content, just messing around with recommendation algorithms but not going further (ie. banning the content itself from being viewed by anyone) means the fascists win.
That's a huge assumption based on a single extremely ancient case, that completely flies in the face of any reasonable application of the law.

> why Labor isn’t seeing a greater share of the productivity gains since the 70s

Globalization seems like a major factor that's often ignored for that. We had productivity gains. We didn't benefit from them as much as expected because people in Asia had bigger productivity gains. Joe six pack now competes with people in China working 996 instead of just his neighbors like in the 70s.
I think it is at least worth considering that there may have been reasons other than economic reasoning that people chose to have children.

Import virtually everything you use on a day to day basis from China? Yes.

Use China's high tech? Nope.

China is trying to climb out of being a middle income country. In order to do this, they must export high tech and services. It's how Chinese citizens can get out of just being cheap labor. However, Western economics rely on high tech and services. It's a threat to their economies.

Speaking at a Morgan Stanley investor conference on Tuesday...Morgan Stanley led the syndicate of banks that loaned Twitter $13bn in November, which partly funded Musk’s takeover. Morgan Stanley provided the biggest chunk, about $3.5bn. The banks, which also include Barclays and Bank of America, face potentially large losses on the loans as they have been unable to sell the debt to investors due to uncertainty around Musk’s strategy to make Twitter profitable and pressure from rising interest rates.

Morgan says, "Thanks for your report. Boys, take Mr. Musk out back and make sure he knows we want our money back, then let him go."
To me, it's not about ruining or enhancing books. It's about falsifying them. They should remain artifacts of their time, so we may have perspective on changing attitudes, and not be gaslit that the sensitivity readers' sensibilities were shared by every author, from every time and place.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
That's a fair question but it doesn't really save you any money, and just costs more for a breaker to switch back and forth. Everything still needs to be inspected and permitted to the same level of rigor because it is still technically wired to the grid and you just have more elements which could malfunction in a less standard configuration

Can confirm that I routinely run into situations where I think the C++ compiler should be able to _nearly_ trivially infer the types code I'm writing, but for some reason or another, it can't.

it seemed like their promise was for a higher
level of user experience than that.

I think they've clearly pursued a more polished level of out-of-the-box integration and functionality for their products, not the most endlessly tweakable experience. (Whether they hit the mark or not is up to the individual to decide, but it's clearly what they shoot for)

Whether this is your cup of tea or your worst nightmare, I don't think this is particularly controversial!

Additionally, I think it's also uncontroversial that they're able to pursue/achieve a higher level of polish specifically thanks to the fact that they choose not to pursue the infinitely long tail of hardware combinations and software configurability. After all, as engineers we know that N possible feature toggles and knobs quickly can quickly approach 2^N or even N! combinations that need to be thought about and tested.

In short, I think it's sort of baffling to think that the omission of some pet niche feature equates to a piece of software "not working."

In contrast, if that omission makes you think the software stinks or simply isn't for you, that would make total sense to me.
GNU / Linux and BSD would never have started with that attitude. Most hardware was proprietary back in the day, and still is proprietary today. Even Thinkpads (a favourite among BSD devs) have proprietary subsystems that are reverse engineered. The alternative would have been to sulk and whine about it and do nothing. The hardware vendors truly do not give a f**k. They are run by business people, not open source idealists.
