Casualty numbers that large are highly unusual, you generally only see them in legendary tales that are almost certainly exaggerated tenfold if they happened at all. Ancient armies were not particularly well organized and would usually dissolve rather than fighting to the last man. Also keep in mind that the non-US death toll of the Vietnam War was well in excess of 3 million.
>The conclusion is drawn, "Actually their job is vital and their self-report is deluded."

The conclusion is drawn because presumably someone thinks they output enough value to continue paying them for their work. That person might be wrong, and maybe some PE firm or consultants will come through and cull the chaff to capture the lost expenses but the person themselves doing the work probably doesn't have the full perspective.
The real answer is that there is no actual way to win. You are at their mercy and it is really 100% up to what they choose to do.
I actually worked on this for several months a few years ago. The project suffered from massive scope creep and overall disorganization. At one point, we could load the main menu and get in game, but then the project changed directions a few times and ultimately switched programming languages (from Go to C++ if memory serves) so most of that progress got wiped out. I didn't know the language they switched to, so me and one of the other main contributor stopped contributing and started working on our own thing off and on, but that got put on the back burner for me due to IRL circumstances.... I keep wanting to pick this stuff back up but real life has a way of repeatedly getting in the way.

Anyway, this was also all taking place before Diablo 2 Remastered was really a thing, so there was more motivation to work on this -- at least on my part -- back then. Now, not so much when I can already boot up Diablo 2 on my Switch.

Ask yourself: what problem is that job solving and how effective is the solution?

A security guard who has to manually press elevator buttons is not solving the problem effectively. Are you more secure that the guard manually presses the elevator button? Hell there could be an assault in the elevator and he wouldn't know a damn thing because he spent time away from watching cameras to press the elevator button. Therefore, it is a bullshit job.
But it is clear cut! You don’t have to answer any of those questions. You only need to provide your identification and registration.

Remember it’s not a normal social interaction. They use the fact that it feels rude to refuse to answer questions to get you to incriminate yourself. They’re playing a game, and so you need to understand the rules. Not answering is not being rude. Invoke your 5th amendment right and shut up.
TBH Id have to dig into my notes more than I care to now, but recall looking up his and his coauthors research at the time and the verbage was very similar to what you described. But that's kind of the point. Requiring a specific controlled setting with a medical team and someone to guide the individual through throughout the process is a lot of work to require for "good" outcomes.

The only time you can expect a drug will get approval without large reproduction of quantifiable outcomes is treating some aspect of a rare disease.
This is a bit annoying when an app has its own menu near the top of the screen. The only app I use in full screen is a media player. Every time I try to interact with the in-app hamburger menu, the whole wind shifts and the system window bay animates out.

I read that pamphlet but I have to admit that it did not give me an impression that law enforcement could use the data.
First, people that far in the future will still know about the previous civilizations. So it's highly unlikely that they'll forget all the languages.

Sure, every random Zakjsnd, Joe and Yelaldto won't know English, but archeologists certainly will. And they'll be able to read it.

But even if we suppose that a nearby supernova explosion resulted in a burst of magic rays that somehow wiped all memories, people will either:

1. Know what radiation is, and they'll test casks for it.

2. They won't be doing digging down for at least tens of meters.

You really need a very unlikely confluence of factors: a very developed, but still pre-technological civilization, that is somehow interested in digging way down (why?) in that particular spot.
It's really multiple problems at once. In fact I'd argue the homeless problem is a symptom of a larger problem, which is the economic death of that area. The core problem is that it's too big to be solved effectively in the short term, by a single leader or law, so this will have to play out over the long term.

Still, one aspect of this does seem easily solved: in Westfield's case, having a bigger police presence. If they had to name a reason why they went out of business, it would be that, not enough police & too much crime. That seems like part of the problem: the police are not responsive, and since police performance is kind of a thing that straddles right/left divisions & powerful constituencies, it's not like one person can easily solve it. There are laws on the books to stop crime, and the DA can do something after suspects are caught, but if the police are missing in action at the places where crimes are happening, not investigating and not making arrests, they will continue.

The larger problem is the death of downtown due to: crime, falling tourism, and the rise of remote work. I personally don't think pushing on the 'crime' lever - especially not by just installing another DA - will be enough to stop it. The problem of remote work leading to falling vacancy rates, leading to an empty downtown, leading to a rising crime and homelessness problem, hasn't been addressed by any of the contemplated solutions, not seriously imho.

Long term, I think downtown will need to be rezoned to be more residential, and the combination of more foot traffic (mostly that) supporting more businesses, and the people & businesses softening the edges of the crime & homelessness problem, will eventually improve the situation. But turning office space into residential space is a huge ask, and even today many people will say it's impossible. It will be years until those downtown office space owners accept this, years more before City Hall can find acceptable ways to rezone that area, more years for the work to be completed, and still more years before people start moving in.

So we might see a turnaround starting in, say, a decade. I wouldn't hope for too much until then.

Hmm I've worked in a startup that had around 80 people when I joined and they claimed to have no HR. Guess what? They totally had HR. It was just one person whose job wasn't officially HR and they soon got a whole HR department as they expanded to 400 people.

HR is definitely not a "bullshit job". Who do you think deals with payroll and pensions and hiring and firing and contracts and complaints and m/paternity leave and ....
It's also about reuse and fungibility.

AMD has used the same IO die across multiple generations of Zen hardware. This cuts the dev and validation costs for using new processes.

Fungibility helps reduce the cost of making SKUs. Want more cores? Add more compute dies. Your customers want more big chips then expected? It's easier/faster to adapt production since only the final steps differ. The component pieces are the same.
> If you made this comment at her vigil, it wouldn’t have ended well I think.

We're not at her vigil, nor are we talking specifically about it.

It makes the already-shitty life of the homeless even worse when folks paint them as crazed murderers. It is -in truth- no better than asserting that any other broad group (whether you group based on ethnic, racial, state-of-origin, or any number of other overly-broad categories) are crazed murders.

Every single death is a tragedy. I very sincerely believe that, and will be angry at myself until my dying day that I did nothing to help try to fix death.

However, it does the living no good to dehumanize an entire group by saying "Oh, well they're a member of $BROAD_GROUP, so they're murderers. Better stay away.".
Not something proponents of Orthomolecular medicine would agree on. That entire branch exists soly becuase of failure of standard medicine to use required doses. Ignoring those researchers doesn't make entire thing untrue. As an example, vitamin C level for optimal health is vastly higher then vitamin C levels needed to prevent scurvy (which is total meltdown of the organism).
> Anti-patterns are things like using a wrong data structure

What is a "wrong data structure"? Is it wrong to do linear scans when hash access would be sufficient?

> ... using the wrong levels of abstractions

When is the abstraction level wrong? I can name you at least 10 projects that avoid so called anti-patterns by introducing unecessary abstractions. Is something really an anti-pattern if it's "solution" massively reduces your development velocity but now everything is nicely composable?

In my opinion, anti-patterns are either obvious (constantly using different names for the same thing) or totally subjective to the context (when to repeat yourself).

But maybe I'm not able to put myself into the shoes of novices and a lot of things seem obvious to me. Granted.

The predictable response to this noble but naïve compassion will be an inhumane crackdown. People respond predictable to insecurity, and it’s not Patrick Henryesque. You can already start to see frustration turning into de-humanisation in these discussions, as one side pleads pragmatism (and at its extremes, cruelty) while calls for compassion (and at its extreme, labels everyone a fascist).

We are far from that. San Francisco remains a AAA issuer. But if receipts crash, deficits bulge and services get cut while the administration debates reparations, that’s how you get regrettable policy. There is still time for people to meet in the middle and find humane but productive solutions that don’t involve sloshing billions through useless NGOs.
Time will tell whether a significant number of users have simply left the site, like you have. I am going to register a prediction: I think that the number of people who use Reddit will be almost indistinguishable after the lockdowns compared to before the lockdowns.
Technically of course the correct formula is: weight = starting mass + mass added - mass lost.

And just as it's completely obvious, I also think it's completely useless for understanding how to live a good life at a desired body weight. There is clearly a lot more going on, as can be seen by the plethora of different medications, organisms and substances that cause weight change in every conceivable direction.

In my opinion, instead of trying to unionize these low margin retail jobs, an alternative approach is to encourage younger people to go into the trades. The economics of service jobs make it an uphill battle for the employers to ever pay living wages. Jobs in trades on the other hand pay very well and are in high demand. It’s not a bad thing overall for barista jobs to be part time or starter jobs, while people prepare for careers that do pay well.

Well, every single one of their input devices supports the gestures. Built-in trackpads, Magic Trackpad, Magic Mouse. I’m not saying you’re wrong, but for me (Mac user of 9 years) macOS is decidedly gesture based, and I consider them one of its biggest strengths.
This is the correct answer. I (and many others) used to work near there. That mall wasn’t very useful and located on the edge of Union Square and a rough neighborhood. Reduce foot traffic from office dwellers by 50% and you basically kill Union Square retail. Drop tourism by however much that’s fallen and that’s the end of your mall. The dystopian takes are overblown, but the city needs a plan for a world with fewer people working along Market Street.

In that case, I'd amend it like so.

While I would like to be helpful to your investigation, in order to ensure my rights are protected, I must invoke my right to be silent without a lawyer present. I appreciate your patience and understanding.

I feel like there's some additional potential verbiage modification that can be made to make it more clear to the officer that you're trying to protect your rights and apologize for any inconvenience, but I can't put my finger on it. I think being cordial and respectful will deal with many potential negative side-effects of this approach.

Granted, I'm trying to amolierate the side-effect of this frustrating an officer you're interacting with or triggering their sense that you're actually guilty, causing yourself a greater headache. It's not about what's right, it's about what's effective.

I'll let you sort out the politics, but where I live, we don't see any of that. No one should have to worry about that stuff. This is a serious concern. Disease outbreaks occur because of these conditions.

Something that really puzzled me about the homeless was many of them would be standing but bent over with their hands on the ground, and head between their knees. WTF is with that?
>> Cowen is an economist while Graeber was a scientist

Graeber:

> In a way it makes perfect sense that gpt4 can score 100% on a test gpt4 also grades.

Even this is overstating it, because for each question, GPT-4 is considered to get it "correct" if, across the (18?) trials with various prompts, it ever produces one single answer that GPT-4 then, for whatever reason, accepts. That's not getting "100%" on a test.

"Tedious" is different than "bullshit". A bullshit job is a combination of two things: pointlessness and tediousness. Painting pictures nobody buys is pointless, but it is not tedious if you're being creative. Likewise, working hard on an assembly line doing the exact same operation is incredibly tedious, but it is not pointless: the line has an output which is presumably useful.

Mere tediousness would consign all warehouse jobs and janitorial positions to "bullshit" - which they are not, as specifically called out in the book. They might be unpleasant, but are definitely necessary.

Parent commenter is stating that, with a good manager, they will remind you of the meaning inherent in the work. At McD's, perhaps: "Remember folks, we're getting hungry people fed, hard working folks deserve a fresh hot meal"

Oh yeah, it is definitely in a really good location. Being right next to BART is usually super good for foot traffic... and being very close to Union Square is (was?) also super good.

And yeah, like four years ago the Westfield Mall had _way_ more foot traffic than it had the few times I visited like four or six months ago.

>Social networks and platforms that people use to talk to each other should never have been dominated by profit-seeking businesses in the first place.

Well, someone needs to pay for the infrastructure needed to run those platforms, I don't think that relying on donations is a good long term strategy, especially when the platforms grows. Also, having knowledge of people's opinions, preferences, likes and dislikes sure attracts some people.

>Federated alternatives like Lemmy and Kbin that put community interests first look promising, and could very well be the future.

I am not sure about this one, federated social networks may have the same community divided across multiple instances, but maybe someone could implement a client which allows you to group communities from multiple instances under one label? This sounds like a reasonable solution to me but I don't know much about the inner workings of federated social platforms.

Windows-style snapping can also be extremely irritating with how easily accidental snap-proposals are triggered when moving around windows that you don't want snapped or maximized. I would say that when using Windows (or Linux DE with similar snap proposal UX) the bulk of proposals triggered are unintentional. In aggregate it's a surprising amount of unnecessary noise.

This is why on macOS I prefer utilities like Moom, which tucks snap options behind a little popup that replaces the native macOS zoom button hover popup. It gives me snapping on the odd occasion it's actually useful without the spammy accidentally triggered border zoom animations that come with Windows snapping.
