Some psychologists say that suffering is a necessary component, but not the only one. Also important are a feeling of being burdensome to others, and overcomming the natural instinct to not harm oneself.

Many people who die by suicide wrongly believe that the world would be better without them. This not only feeds the suffering, but also puts them in a position to overcome the natural instincts against self harm. These instincts are also why repeated suicide attempts or access to more lethal methods of suicide increase the risk.

> Sorry but... it kind of is, no?

No.

> You've probably got a family weighing you down so you can't travel anymore.

Well...

1: Having a family is a choice people make, not everyone over the age of 40 has a family.

2: Just because someone can't travel doesn't mean per life is over.

3: It is (in many cases) entirely possible for someone over 40 to travel with per family.

4: People making the choice to have a family probably wouldn't call it "weighing down".

> You don't have the freedom to start new exciting ventures.

Define "exciting ventures" and explain why it isn't possible. There are many things that can be done as a person over the age of 40, even WITH a family.

> You can't quit your sucky job because it supports your family.

Not everyone over the age of 40 has a "sucky" job and if one has a job which is unpleasant there may very well still be the possibility of changing careers.

> You go to parties that end at 9pm and your social gatherings consist of talking about traffic and grocery prices.

Speaking from experience? It's entirely possible to engage the services of a babysitter and go spend time with friends until the night is well past the point of being young. Also "traffic and grocery prices"? Where do you even get that? People over the age of 40 can be (and usually are) interested in other things like, say, sports, cinema, even the dreaded "celebrity gossip".

> You're probably married to someone you love and respect, but the flame isn't the same as what you once had.

If a couple can't quite manage to Take Hold of the Flame, there is always the possibility of ending the marriage, which may once again open the door to those "new exciting ventures" you mentioned. And regardless even if the relationship isn't what it once was that doesn't mean life is over.

Just my perspective as a 33 year old.

This is very cool! Well done guys!
Yeah, I work in a robotics company in Europe- our embedded people are paid essentially the same as web/enterprise software developers in the same market. Definitely a lot less remote Opportunities (though usually for institutional reasons- most of the work can be done remotely, if company is organized for that- which not a lot are).

EEs are IMHO underpaid in both sides of the pond though.

There is probably about one mud server implementation per active mud player at this point. For some reason they are extremely popular to write, even though mud playing is a tiny tiny niche.

Meanwhile the active muds are all running on systems decades old because player community, governance, lore, and writing quality is what keeps people playing them not server language features.
Uber isn't exactly financially viable, either.
Waterfall also uses an iterative model. Inescapable when building software. The myth needs to die so we can progress. Waterfall, as a typical corporate tech fad, WILL emerge eventually.
Definitely, exploratory coding can be very useful. It’s essentially writing code to help identify the requirements or design instead of to help implement them. As long as management understands that you might be writing different code for each case and you can’t necessarily turn one into the other…

> So far there is no indication insurance companies are going to pay for 100 million Americans going on Ozempic who aren't diabetic...

What’s the cost/benefit of weight loss and diabetes control vs $12k/year? I would expect people with high obesity are very expensive to insure and insurance can’t drop people any more. It may be cheaper to pay for ozempic (especially at whatever negotiated rate insurance pays) than to pay for the alternative negative health outcomes.

That and ozempic goes generic in 2031 and mounjaro in 2027 so soon this won’t be a question of $1000/month but maybe $1000/year at which point insurers will probably force customers to take it or pay higher rates.
Yes, you are right on both of those.
On my phone anyway, it looks like you just sent me to an ad for the game with a full screen model.
One of them does but the other doesn't use WiFi messaging in iMessage. I don't have a clear understanding of why they don't. I asked the same question. It evidently has something to do with one iMessage user enabling WiFi messaging and the other prohibiting it so you end up green bubbled as if you're dealing with an android user.
In fairness they must have spent at least $10B on truly amazing interior design and designers. At least, I hope so. In earnest, I've never seen a bad WeWork interior, and I'm glad those folks got the work.
Hey, I’d love to try out Supabase as a backend for Flutter apps. However, the docs and scaffold code, like authentication flows, are a bit lacking for Flutter. What are the plans for improving the Flutter-related documentation and packages? Are there any good first issues on GitHub related to Supabase + Flutter?
Any speculation on what this could be?

Sometimes there are hints or past reporting. Eg before Snowden there had been other reporting around Telco complicity at switching stations.

Maybe something with satellite connectivity surveillance? (Lol, it would be rich if they said it was covered by FISA because it went from USA to "space" and back in to US)

French nuclear doctrine is predominantly deterrence through first strike as a response to any invasion or an action that has a significant impact on French national interests, they don’t need to achieve full MAD just be in a position that messing with them is costly enough for it to not be worth it.

They don’t have enough weapons to target military infrastructure any French nuclear strike is going to be leveling cities, hence their focus on small number of high yield fusion weapons.

A somewhat related tangent is the idea that "writing is rewriting". Hardly, if ever, is a first draft suitable for publication, not just because it's rough-hewn or unrefined but also because requirements for some chapters change once others are written. The feedback loops between dependent parts of a written piece are dynamic, not static.

(Yet another reason why LLMs are so limited: they take their earlier writing as sacred and unchanging as a direct consequence of their autoregressive structure.)

Interesting. Those numbers have changed now, but your observation is still correct.

He’s a thing because parts of the culture are pushing the concept of inherited sin. You are born male, therefor bad. People who don’t like being demonized broadly therefor are likely to listen to him.

Try it with anything. Tell black people they are worthless and watch as someone like Malcom X, who tells them to stick it to the white man rises in popularity.

Also, as a former kickboxer, he has cred. Similarly, Joe Rogan has some cred for having competed, which opened the door to his MMA commentary career, which gave him more cred.
Heck, when I first heard about YouTube's autogenerated captions

Off-topic, but since I don't use YouTube and you do, in your experience, how are the auto-generated captions? Are they accurate?

I've been unimpressed by speech-to-text engines in the past, so I'm interested to hear if this is a problem that Google's managed to solve.
The config language isn't so arcane, and Apache can perform on par with Nginx in a number of cases nowadays.
Is it Uber for offices? Uber's model is that individual people with cars and spare time effectively loan out that car and their time to people wishing to make journeys, with the two parties being connected and the deal arranged by Uber, who take a cut. All the vehicle ownership risk was shoved onto the driver, and in the event that there was suddenly zero demand somewhere, that risk also was borne by the driver (at least, until various jurisdictions started enforcing minimum wage so that drivers who had no rides all day still got paid).

WeWork's model didn't appear to involve individual people with spare office capacity loaning it out for short periods to other people needing an office for a short while. WeWork's model appeared to be that WeWork itself leased office space, and rented it out to people. WeWork paid for the lease, and took on all the risk of that and all the risk of the demand vanishing.
WeWork has always been a shitty REIT marketed and valued as a tech company. Not surprised at its demise.

The only thing I’m sad about is: Neumann is not rotting in jail. He defrauded investors, misled people yet he was actually rewarded with a golden parachute.

> Unless someone has lived with chronic pain, they won't be able to understand what it does to your mental health. Living in constant pain is hard - fucking hard.

And specifically chronic pain that will never get better and can only get worse. A lot of the platitudes and reasoning we use to get people to not commit suicide don't apply. It can get better? Bitch, I have Multiple Sclerosis. Yes, hopefully science can do something about it, but right now it's an incurable, progressive illness.

I primarily stay alive from a combination of spite and the ability to be a living cautionary/memento mori tale: I did everything 'right' and this still happened. It can happen to you. Work as hard as you like, make all the right choices... you can still fail. Have some grace or be eaten alive when you fall.
In my experience what trade-off is the correct one depends on your ability to iterate and where your risk comes from. Can you ship infrequently, but you know with high confidence what product/market-fit looks like (extreme example Mars mission)? In that case you want all the planning and verification you can get. Can you ship often, but have little confidence in what your users/customers want and what will grow your business (extreme example social media app)? In this case you probably want to prioritize speed of iteration and rework technical aspects once you know it's what's needed.

I've had a very angry product manager because a feature took almost a second to load. I told him that we could make it load much faster but it would be almost a week of work and he should validate the feature with customers before we invest in that. "Of course we need this feature! It's core to the product!". So we spent a week. It worked realty nicely and scaled pretty well. In the next 12 months the feature changed completely twice because customers didn't find it useful. Then it was removed entirely and then we had to bring it back because the sales team liked it for demos. All that iteration was required to find what the market needed, not fit technical reasons, except for the performance work which was entirely wasted because it all got redone after the first user feedback.
> When I look at the WFH shift, I struggle to rationalize how companies wouldn’t rather utilize flex space as needed for group huddles than commit to long term leases.

It still requires that everyone be in the same city more or less. Basically only applies to companies that had an office and now don't want one, and even then only for a while.

Once you're working fully remote anyway you're giving up one of its major advantages (geographically unconstrained hiring pool) by keeping to one city like that. If you find meeting in person to be advantageous enough to justify that, you probably should capitalize on it and just have an office.

It's one of those things that sounds good on paper, and kinda was good during some periods of the pandemic. But it's a compromised middle ground that realizes none of the advantages of committing to either approach.
There's worse, you could be making software for ASML. I've heard things worse than Oracle happen there.

> I am trying to come up with a way to find profit in going against the grain, because I think this is the only way to drive change (or at least preserve my sanity).

I know what you mean, but I think the profit is already there, with some good soft skills you can show your value to the client by doing it the right way. Although it won't be always pleasurable or smooth sail as you need to speak up or tell harsh words to others, but, you know, if there is no tension in bicycle chain it means you are not pedaling. Of course, you need to do it in gentle and respectful manner - that's why soft skills are so important.
Yes, but if you have middle layers doing that it might be done even in error states. I had that happen in multiple applications where it meant something like a big CSV file was successfully downloaded but incomplete (or, IIRC, had a Python traceback at the end). Having a simple, unambiguous way to force a failure reduces the odds of an error being easy to miss.
I'm glad you're still chugging along. Until you need real help you've no idea who your real friends are, I've found. Which is why I feel like I've no true friends left.

If there is a sufficiently impactful information, investors will reassess their valuation and pricing strategies.

Company X's stock are worth 100 dollars. A scandal breaks out, revealing that their second most important product must be removed from the market immediately due to health concerns. The company will survive, as it has other products, but it is clear that their income will go down and they will spend a fortune on litigation.

Suddenly Investor A wants to sell this stock, because they don't want to hold a risky asset. But who will buy it? Investor B is willing to buy this stock, and will reassess their targets, decide that this stock is now worth around 75, and only buy it at this price.

Investor A has two options now: hold a risky asset, or take a loss. If they decide to take a loss, the stock is now priced at 75. If they decide to hold it, then the price might be artificially 100, but this asset is not liquid now, as nobody is willing to buy it at 100.

So the price has already dropped, before any transactions happened.

> I answer that, It is altogether unlawful to kill oneself, for three reasons. First, because everything naturally loves itself, the result being that everything naturally keeps itself in being, and resists corruptions so far as it can. Wherefore suicide is contrary to the inclination of nature, and to charity whereby every man should love himself. Hence suicide is always a mortal sin, as being contrary to the natural law and to charity. Secondly, because every part, as such, belongs to the whole. Now every man is part of the community, and so, as such, he belongs to the community. Hence by killing himself he injures the community, as the Philosopher declares (Ethic. v, 11). Thirdly, because life is God's gift to man, and is subject to His power, Who kills and makes to live. Hence whoever takes his own life, sins against God, even as he who kills another's slave, sins against that slave's master, and as he who usurps to himself judgment of a matter not entrusted to him. For it belongs to God alone to pronounce sentence of death and life, according to Deuteronomy 32:39, "I will kill and I will make to live."

I'm sorry you don't understand my point so let me expand:

- He is definitely a white supremacist, in the sense he adheres to hateful texts and probably calls/called himself that along with some other friends.

- Simply, white supremacism (or black supremacim, chinese, muslim or jewish supremacim) are in most case not real political movements but minorities of angry people with (similar) mental illness who act on their mental illness with the random tribe they feel they belong. (cf this testimony https://www.mmaindia.com/sean-strickland-opens-up-about-his-...)

- If you however are a functional member of the society, insisting on calling random shooters by their random political affiliation instead or their mental illness which is the primary factor is, if technically right, missing the point of the fact that weapons should not be given to mad people in general, and has also a tendency to stew political tensions.

- This is not a defense of white supremacism or shooters. Im french said the same when there was "islamic attacks" and people were weaponizing the fact they were mulslim for political purpose when in reality is was a bunch of angry 19 y.o. fanatazised by angry 60 y.o. imams with similar kinds mental illnesses.

Is that more clear ?
