France has rigorous 35 hour work weeks and a 78% labor force participation rate.

The USA has 40+ hour work weeks and a 56% labor force participation rate.

The choice is real.
Technological development (excluding AI agents) enables freedom of the masses if and only if the masses simultaneously and continuously pursue their self-interests instead of getting abused by the minority who achieve / maintain wealth (in order to achieve their self-interests) by abusing others.

The average human never evolved to pursue their self-interests in this sense. They recognise stealing and killing when done in front of them by primitive means. But debts, employment et cetera are beyond this comprehension.
I think the point of this article is true, but the writer does a poor job at making the case. It starts off with an 85 year old Kaynes quote, which reads the same as: "They said there were going to be flying cars.. what went wrong?"

Then follows it up with just comparing age groups without showing similar stats for older groups when they were the same age. Saying retirees have less debt than people just entering the work force isn't some big revelation. Even in the best of times that would be expected... and they repeat that mistake for pretty much all of the stats.

I really hope not a lot of people does that. Looking for knowledge or guides i don’t want to be stuck with the worst part of the internet as what blogs have become. There’s a reason all of us are using site:reddit.com.
It has comments which are frequently either funny or insightful. Most news sites either don't have comments, or have comments full of spam and low effort content.
Depends on the platform. Facebook and Youtube monetize very well. Then there are platforms that lumber on marginally for years like Reddit and Twitter, or where the commercial pressures of advertising are particularly obnoxious. (I think of that band Jefferson Starship which never made up its mind if it wanted to be commercially successful or have artistic integrity.)

On the other hand there are sites like Danbooru which seem to thrive without advertising probably because the nature of their content drives advertising away.

Oh hey, that was basically my job! After getting out of grad school, I worked overnight for an HHS contractor writing media summaries for the Secretary. Every night, we would gather all the news stories about the topics HHS told us they wanted to track. At 6:00am, we'd publish the Secretary's briefing and at 7:30am we'd publish the org-wide briefing. To this day, I possess more trivia about the Healthcare.gov launch than I will ever need for any conceivable reason.

Reminds me of Houellebecq's "Extension du domaine de la lutte":

"It's a fact...that in societies like ours sex truly represents a second system of differentiation, completely independent of money; and as a system of differentiation it functions just as mercilessly. The effects of these two systems are, furthermore, strictly equivalent. Just like unrestrained economic liberalism, and for similar reasons, sexual liberalism produces phenomena of absolute pauperization . Some men make love every day; others five or six times in their life, or never. Some make love with dozens of women; others with none. It's what's known as 'the law of the market'...Economic liberalism is an extension of the domain of the struggle, its extension to all ages and all classes of society. Sexual liberalism is likewise an extension of the domain of the struggle, its extension to all ages and all classes of society."

last year a junior on my team worked with a few other juniors and a PM to implement a straightforward automation project. their system saved about $50mm last year, and that number is projected to increase as the company grows. you don't necessarily find such low hanging fruit every year, but would he really be wrong to think his contribution is worth more than $150k?

I think the craziest thing about things right now is inflation.

It's not a single number. A lot of people go- oh well it's at %19 more than 2019, so now you need a 20% pay bump. Well... that's not actually accurate. Because heating or cooling your home (which you now spend all your time in) which was already expensive is even more expensive, we have to deal with energy bills that are, for some people, upwards of 15% of their paycheck. That's huge. Then because we still drive pretty much the same (work actually reduced our driving because our cars would just sit at the office all day). We'd kind of just take care of a few errands on the way to work or the way home. Now those errands are straight up, drive out, drive back. We're still driving at least as much or more - so again, we're paying more for energy that way.

Now housing. Housing is totally crazy. It's not even about the fact that we have high home prices, it's that now everyone gets their wife to take out a loan, pay down a credit card or two with that money, then buys their house to stay under the 45% Debt To Income Ratio. So reality is we've got $1000 left per month for grocery outlet food that's pretty much expired the day we bring it home.

I'm pretty sure things are not sustainable right now for a large swath of people. On top of all that, not everyone got that 20% pay bump - if any at all!

And to top off my last thought. I live in CA, so obviously I'm on a bit of a high blip here, but, don't you remember a few years ago shopping at pretty much any grocery store and paying like $2.50 for bags of chips, or cheese dip, sour cream, a few potatoes. All that stuff is now $5. I feel like any random item I pick up at Safeway or Raleys is straight up $5. That's what I felt like shopping at whole foods for organic natural grass fed vine-ripened potatoes. Now every grocery store is whole fucking foods!

Good eye. Yes we're thinking about that already. I think when we think about this tool from a community and even family or friends perspective, keeping track of everything you're doing or need to do becomes difficult even if you're living by the calendar. It's because that calendar isn't shared. So I think for us "events" is something we want to find a way to integrate at the core of the experience. That at to-dos, because mostly when you have some event, there's still some level of planning to get done before it.

I'd like to see an alternative Vanguard-style (the investment group) owned by the people for the people. I wonder what that would look like? E.g. socialize the hosting costs and take votes on new policies.
The point about early Christianity is just silly. When Jesus was born, Christianity did not yet exist. If it is historically accurate that wise men actually did visit Bethlehem bearing gifts (which many scholars don't believe is the case), they were not on a Christian pilgrimage, or any kind of pilgrimage related to Abrahamic religion. There is no evidence or scripture implying thus.

Certainly, early Christianity arrived in North Africa around the same time it arrived in Eastern Europe, but that's hardly controversial. It's not only geographically and politically obvious, but also a well-documented history, literally going back to the time that the New Testament was canonized - in Roman Africa, no less! There is no need to have 21st century children in Germany apply blackface during the nativity play to show that Christianity existed in Africa several hundred years after Jesus died.

I don't know why you are bringing up being an "insidious white supremacist" (an Americanism you imply other people are using, and yet nobody on this thread is). The issue is that this whole argument that blackface is an earnest celebration of African Christianity is totally contrived, based not on fact, but on the unwillingness to acknowledge that in the modern world doing caricatures of other races is generally seen as culturally insensitive. Majority of Europeans are not crying "racism" (once again - your words), but they still appreciate that this sort of stuff does offend some people and is not something that is a big enough deal to be worth clinging onto. There is no cultural heritage being lost by letting kids perform the nativity play without blackface.

And no need to whatabout back around to colonial history in Namibia as if that's some kind of gotcha. Sure, that's bad too. But once again, nobody was saying to ignore the genocide of the Herero and Nama. There can be two bad things at the same time. The current German government refusing to take responsibility for crimes that happened during colonial times, and also individuals in present-day Germany not wanting to give up a "tradition" that has no educational benefit, no historical accuracy and really does bother some individuals of the minority it allegedly is honoring.
No site NEEDS Cloudflare, but many can benefit from their slew of products. From their CDN to DDoS protection, Workers, and even basic things like DNS management - they provide a really good user experience across the board. Sure, it adds another potential point of failure to the system, but for many - it's a worthy trade-off.
The coast is only a correlation. There is a direct tradeoff between economic opportunity and cost of living. I live in an East Coast city with a crap local job market and a 2 hour rush hour commute to the high-wage regional economic center. Living here is pretty cheap. Living in Chicago isn't. If you are professionally and financially established enough to pick and choose remote work or have a pied-à-terre, then sure, moving to a less expensive area is a great move. If you're working in a structured trade that will yield work most anywhere, that works too. Beyond that, it just doesn't work. Cost of living is so much higher now than it was 20 years ago that is just not feasible for most young people to build up enough money to break away from professional hubs. Most people's wages are not double what they were 10 years ago, but getting a room in a shared apartment is way more than double, as is health care, and other major expenses— not to mention student loans. The difficulty that imposes when accumulating capital for down-payment is not linear. Hovering around the break-even line is stressful, but falling below it pulls you under fast, like an undertow. A few overdrafts leading to a missed credit card payment plus a broken car or illness can fuck you over for a few years if you're treading water.

I know Tumblr is staffed with good people, it's just a shame that it took that censorship hit when Reddit just kept rolling with the punches and managed to just steam right through most of the trouble with only a few trimmings of the extreme content around the edges.

My girlfriend had an edgy Tumblr last year and she got permabanned for a post she made. Seemingly even the execs at Tumblr don't have access to your data after your account gets deep-fried as they couldn't even see what it was she posted that got her cooked - so they couldn't reverse the decision as there was nothing left. Was a huge bummer for her as it was her main outlet and put her in a real sad funk.
The Avro was a cool paper project (it is ultimately unknown if it could even achieve the projected performance since no flights were performed anywhere close to the claimed speeds or with real hardware).

I think this is missing the point. Avro Arrow was a single design, but it was first in many respects. Shutting it down ended not just what the Arrow could have been, but the entire future of what Avro's future could have been.

The engines alone were spectacular. The concentration of talent was impressive. 1/2 of Avro (it is often said) went to work for NASA. We had that talent, and bam, gone.

Mostly because the US wanted its industries to sell planes to Canada instead.
> A commitment to free speech is, to an extent, an endorsement of all the speech that results.

Absolutely not. I'd argue that anyone should be free to talk with others about their opinion, but that doesn't mean I agree with that opinion. And letting then speak without shutting them down doesn't mean I agree either, just means I agree that they should be able to speak freely.

What kind of dystopian viewpoint is that? You go around stopping everyone from saying stuff you disagree with?

CloudFlare free-tier is incredibly useful for sticking in front of the cheapest bargain basement VPS WordPress host you can find and miraculously still ending up with a somewhat functional small-business website.

It'd be even better if there were competition in this space, but there aren't too many options outside of cloud providers who are likely relying on the fact you might accidentally slip up one day so they can charge your credit card.
These are not really server-side test concerns. I know your first reaction is "WHAT?!" but hear me out.

Let's say we add some server-side tests that verify that the method is POST and the path is /make-greeting. Have we now verified that the endpoint is correct? No - because the client was in fact posting to /create-greeting.

We know the @POST and @Path annotations work; they are covered by the JAX-RS implementation tests. We can look at those annotations and know that the endpoint is a POST to /make-greeting. Testing that brings minimal value.

The test we need is something that ensures the client and server both agree on the contract. By definition that can't be a server-side test, it's an e2e test. The good news is that it doesn't have to be a complicated e2e test; it just needs to ensure the method is called once.

Maybe you're publishing a pure API? Add swagger, auto-generate the openapi spec, and diff against that. This works especially well if openapi is how you're publishing your documentation.

> and the body parser

If you're really concerned, it's pretty easy to write explicit tests for JSON serialization/deserialization. The good news is that you only need one test (or two for bidirectional) for each class. In both large and small companies I've never found this necessary.

At least oil is part of the problem... While climate change is just a consequence of many problems.

> I think it would have sufficed to say that not everyone agrees. I don't think that's news.

this is my point: "hate" and "violence" used to be pretty universally agreed-upon terms, yet, as of late, their definitions have been expanded, and only a subset of people agree with said newly-expanded definitions.

> Not sure what that has to do with this? Yes, some people disagree with you.

the point of this was to demonstrate my honest attempt at internalizing these redefinitions, only to discover that they are incompatible with my worldview (yet the old definitions still fit just fine).

if we can't agree on (new) (re)definitions of terms like "violence" and "hate", then what practical use do they have in contexts such as this?
I too would like to see Swift's cross-platform/generalist story improve.

My biggest issue with both perl and python (apart from no static checking) is third-party libraries:

2. I hate having to install and manage third-party libraries on all systems where I might want to run something.

1. Nuke the key and an encrypted drive is indistinguishable from noise.
1a. When SAN sizes get STUPIDLY LARGE, miltiple writes are cost and energy prohibitive, crushing is cheap, cert revocation is cheaper and leaves a device with residual value.
2. In the datacenter, data at rest is not a target, the attack happens higher up the stack where the OS/SQL/App can read the data
3. Areal density is such that a drive in a RAID array doesn't have much to offer up*

> I guess a cryptographer would add a hash of all preceding pages on the last page.

That's basically how hashes and signatures work anyways. They basically take in the result of the previous block and integrate it into the new block so that if you change any part of the previous parts, the whole thing breaks.

Edit: I should specify this is how the algorithms themself work. Implementations can fuck this up (and they do a lot).
