I don’t think Webster is always right or writes complete etymology. Perhaps there is a more charitable way to interpret the PC. But PC should provide sources, that would be nice.
> No, we don’t agree at all.

Oh okay. I was trying to tell you I agreed with what you said, but if you insist: Okay, fine then I disagree with you. Naw, I still agree with what you said. I don’t know what you’re disagreeing with at all, you haven’t made that clear. Consider the possibility that we might be, as the phrase goes, agreeing violently.

> they are trying to use the words “open source” to appeal specifically to people

Who is “they”? The top comment was referring to Apache 2.0, which is an OSI approved license. So, what, exactly, are you thrashing against here?

> This is a message for the exact group of people who use the term of art because they’re practitioners of that art.

Exactly! Sorry for saying this again, but I agree with that sentence. My point, which does not disagree with what you just said, is that because they are the practitioners, they are the people who know and use the term of art know better and should be the least likely to be confused when someone doesn’t use their term of art, and most likely to be able to handle the disambiguating gracefully like adults without getting upset or whinging that their term of art wasn’t used. They should be the people who best understand that their term of art has a special and overloaded meaning next to the literal words and some common non-term-of-art usage of those words.

This is all academic, the top comment was using the term of art in all of its overloaded glory. All I’m saying is that @xenago’s response is a bit inappropriate no matter what, regardless of whether it was the term-of-art usage or the lay-person usage, even if it was intentionally misleading (which it wasn’t). What you said appeared to agree with that, because you said “I’m not telling anyone that they can’t use words however they want”. So it does in fact continue to sound like you and I are agreeing on this point, among others.
One thing that I've noticed in recent years is just how good the general population has gotten at bullshiting.

Where before you didn't have too many teachers in this dark art of spinning any argument, the internet has given everyone a crash course into what arguments are easier or harder to combat.

This democratization I think ironically led to better arguing of worse concepts.

Maybe a critical mass is finally forming against bullshit.

I reject the question - there are plenty of small family businesses in home-building, for example. They just don't happen to have a big fancy silicon valley name with a VC backing them. They do pretty well for themselves in their community, and don't have a huge desire to scale infinitely.
>> and think the fundamental problems are going to just disappear.

Au contraire. If you implement things poorly enough then all those people on the phone asking for tech support really do just go away. They learn to solve their own problems. Make your problem-solving/help-line interface sufficiently horrible that it develops a reputation (Google) and they won't even make an attempt to contact you.
So we shouldn't have abolished slavery, that only multiplied the problem? We should have reformed the institution of slavery instead?

For talking about boneheaded and unsophisticated ideas, this post is severely lacking in nuance. No one is suggesting anarchy, and removing a generally malfunctioning authority can be quite productive.

> It was a country that made the choice to intertwine its destiny with Algeria forever.

It might be more appropriate to say it was a government that made this choice. The French nation didn't get a say. Just like all other Western governments deciding to allow mass immigration, the people generally are opposed but never get a voice.
Firstly the CFTC calls things a commodity to reserve the right to regulate those things. If the SEC also claims jurisdiction that doesn’t actually make the regulation more lax, it means to stay on the right side of the regulation you have to satisfy both regulators.

Normal financial firms trading normal financial products deal with this all the time and are very familiar with jurisdictional disputes between their regulators. For example every US bank is more than familiar with keeping the OCC and their state Fed happy. This is BAU in US bank regulation.
Higher oil prices makes everything more expensive. There's a pattern of increasing productivity in lockstep with technological advances over the last couple of centuries. The question is: would making everything more expensive affect the speed of technological advancement, and how would that affect how fast we're able to reduce oil consumption?
> Why are there no startups in the real estate construction sector? It is a highly profitable business

Because your assumption about it being a highly profitable business is incorrect. It’s highly competitive, and net margins for large construction firms are in the single digit percent range.

What insights do you think a computer programmer has about construction that a field of professionals hasn’t already considered?
Unused code paths were once used or it was thought that they would be used. If you don't know if something is used, it's safest to assume it is being used or is there for some reason (Chesterton's Fence). If it's being used, you need to maintain it lest there be a regression.
1Password for Mac has had broken date formats for over 1.5 years now
Ever since 1Password released version 8, the whole application seems to have become a dumpster fire. Apart from it frequently crashing, this issue is so stupid it's hard to believe: 1Password disregards any system settings for dates and shows them in MM/DD/YYYY formats – even on machines with DD/MM/YYYY setup. This used to work, so is an easy thing to miss – yet even after countless reports and an email conversation, 1Password keep ignoring it. Personally, I had to chase an airline for weeks because I entered the passport dates in the wrong order.
> And it’s totally possible to be your own buying agent and save money if you’re willing to put in the work.

This is rarely true. The seller has negotiated and agreed to a commission with their agent, and that is getting paid regardless of whether the buyer is represented or not. Perhaps you can negotiate a purchase price low enough that the seller's agent fee is the seller's problem, but only in a buyer's market (which currently does not exist in any major market I'm aware of). The only time it makes sense to not use an agent is if you're confident you can market and close a transaction yourself selling your own property.

It's really unfortunate that there is a 3-6% drag on real estate transactions from agent and brokerage commissions, but various attempts to disrupt this model and drive down the cost have not been successful.

I think if more people were vulnerable, the world would be a kinder place. I also wish more CEOs were vulnerable. They are forced to "show strength" and "not complain" especially if they are a billionaire. But it would really show how much their lives are a mixed bag and we all face challenges and try to figure it out.
What’s the advantage over Legacy Update which seems to work pretty well.
As someone who has taken a lot of drugs of all sorts, I also find it a bit 'cringe' to post a list of them with no context on your public website. To me, it comes off as a humblebrag for having some specific personal hobby, but without anything interesting to say of it. I view it like posting a list of the different ethnicities of women you've bedded.

But I found the collection of quotes page decidedly more 'cringe.'

Oh, we quite understand gEoPoLiTiCs, we are hearing it our whole lives from the incompetent wannabe empires propaganda across the border. It's when small countries doesn't matter, and individual humans doesn't even register on the radar. The only thing that matters to gEoPoLiTiCiAnS is "duo-polar world", "power projection", and aggressive annextaion of neighbors property in hopes either securing lebensraum for themselves or just sowing chaos and unrest to spite everyone.

When growing as an engineer it becomes very important that you know and understand the options that are available to you. Knowing in which direction to grow is the best way to focus on the right set of skills needed to progress to the next step.

Everyone is different, and what may work for one person may not work for the other. It’s important that you play to your strengths.

If you are asking yourself which is the right engineering career path for you?

So the only way to subsidize supply is indirectly via demand subsidies? I find that hard to believe.
If we suppose that this theoretical child is a problem that is disrupting their classroom, then we are not saving any children from that disruption, merely spreading it around. They will be a problem for one classroom this year, a different one next year, and so on. Assuming class sizes are the same, we will have on average the same number of disrupted-pupil-hours with the expulsions as without them, just a different distribution.

If you want to argue it's a better distribution, or that there is some reason to believe expulsions will push "problem children" to smaller classrooms on average, then fine, but absent those arguments it's very clearly worse for the student and their parents but not better for anyone else (or rather, it's maybe better for specific other people, but also worse for yet other ones, and on average no better for anyone).
Are you working with web frameworks?
The most expensive part of electrifying existing track is bridges and tunnels since they often have to be rebuilt to have enough clearance (especially in places like the UK where bridges are old and therefore very low. If all the trains have enough battery to move a short distance without the overhead wires suddenly the electrification project becomes pretty simple and non-disruptive and costs are really reasonable.
California strikes deal with engine makers on zero-emissions trucking by 2036
If you built the houses the same way as with human labor, sure. But perhaps they would be built differently with robots, in a way which didn't require that level of dexterity. After all, most industrial robots don't have opposable thumbs.

I'm not saying it's a simple problem to solve, nor one whose solution I have fully mapped out in my head. Just that it's a problem whose solution strikes me as being within the realm of feasibility.
This was not my experience. Our agent walked us through the assumptions under which buying a home would make financial sense (e.g. years in home, projected rate of increase in home prices, etc) and he made it absolutely clear we could lose money depending on timing. Ultimately we decided to buy because we believe LA is a market where demand will outstrip supply for the foreseeable future (and prop 13 while not great policy for society will personally benefit us).
> And can you imagine my utter shock and disbelief when the bot offered to waive the late fee if I set up autopay? Holy shit! I'm still in awe. The chatbot waived my fee. It actually DID something. It genuinely saved them and me a support call that day instead of just feeling like they were trying to persuade me to give up by throwing friction into the process of getting to someone who could actually waive my fee.

I think I had a similar experience with the Amazon customer support bot just yesterday. It authorized a refund on a $20 item that I said arrived damaged.

Agents want to close a sale. Typically, that is aligned with the interests of buyers and sellers.

We've found that agents are most useful when we're driving them towards the outcome that _we_ want. That means two things:

* When possible, do our own market research. Form an opinion then compare that to the agent's opinion.

* Ask questions like "what do you typically see", "how have other people handled X", etc, etc. Instead of having your agent simply tell you what to do, leverage their knowledge to inform your opinion.

Right, after mashing the companies together one would need to integrate systems - but that costs money! Money that could be used for executive pay - which they "earned" because of the "successful" merger.
Over the long term it would have to double since expense for land flows through government expenses, for example when the government needs to buy land or employees want more pay to afford buying houses.
That was fun! I got it in 327 moves. I think the game would be epic if there was a mechanism to have multiple levels (floors/layers) and require the piece to go up and down in order to find the right configuration.... but that increases the scope significantly.

What's your strategy for designing levels? Is it all manual?
Does anyone know why the “sears catalog” model of homebuilding no longer works today?
house prices evolve from price p0 to price p. The market gains (or loses) p/p0 in that period. If you get a mortgage, you're borrowing money to buy at p0; at any point in time with a price p and total repaid r your total value is given by (deposit + r + p) - p0. You're in negative equity if (deposit + r + p) < p0. You're in the money if p > p0, but note that this isn't multiplying your investment by the market gain. Instead, it's exposing you to the absolute change in price. So suppose (deposit + r) = 40k ; p0 = 145k ; p = 190k. You're in the money for 40k + 190k - 145k = 85k, having invested 40k (roi=2.1). p1/p0 = 1.3 (<2.1), with your leverage (mortgage) having bought you more exposure to house prices. You can then liquify and re-lever back into the housing market, with a larger loan due to you larger deposit (and likely increased income). Historically this has worked very well for people as p has tended to be larger than p0. It does not work well if you end up in negative equity.

This is the reason that "you need housing so why would you want house prices to go up" -> some large fraction of homeowners are levered up to their eyeballs

The point here is regulators don’t have to get the court to rule on that to get whatever outcome they want with any one of these exchanges so they probably will go out of their way to avoid pressing that.

Their strategy seems to be to go after smaller fish, governance tokens, ICO tokens etc: things which the exchanges have clearly marketed as investments. Since all the exchanges have traded some of these they don’t have to press the matter about Eth and bitcoin so they don’t run the risk of losing that.
I think that was maybe applicable back in the Gates & Wozniak days but not so sure that approach would be considered "clean" now.

It seems kind of ludicrous that one company can't look at another's product and create the same type of thing, just improved. That's how innovation works.

It's just that in this case, apart from a handful of differences, the core innovation of threads seems to be that Twitter has been taken over by an egotistical maniac and while Zuck is still a billionaire he seems wholly less concerned with tooting his own horn in public as Elon is.

I don't think Elon/Twitter has a leg to stand on, they don't own the concept of a public forum/social media platform, I'm sure that even the shortform that Twitter has enforced since its inception had been done long before.
Especially with a remote role, there is no good reason to use your work laptop for personal. Just keep your personal at the same desk.
Maybe? I don't have or want a Twitter account, but have found a few accounts that are worth checking in on (a lawyer whose firm is working on a few cases I'm interested in, the CEO of a company that has a product I'm waiting for, local police blotter, etc.), but Twitter is useless without being signed in now. If Twitter fails, I would expect to see an event something like what's happening now.

edit: It's also worth noting that Twitter closing shop completely and selling off the name to a cuckoo clock manufacturer is incredibly unlikely. What's more likely is that "failure" will be playing a distant second to Threads or Bluesky (or both).
Exactly, fresh food tastes good with modest and naturally occurring levels of sugar, salt, and fat

>In your opinion, is it plausible that the OP themselves is 3-lettered or an asset thereof?

The thought had crossed my mind since this whole subject has received so much attention in the last few years. It would make sense for those entities to get out ahead of any announcements and try to set the narrative. Steering it in the direction of that post allows them to grab lots of eyeballs they wouldn't normally attract.

Subjects like this are eyeball magnets and tend to draw in a lot of people who read the descriptions and text but never make an attempt to verify whether any of it makes sense. It is taken at face value because the whole idea of someone getting back at the man by revealing secrets is a power narrative.

For me, OP's comment length was a red flag. I am really long-winded and have found myself almost writing a book in dumping all the relative details into some answers. Some of my posts had to be split into 4 parts due to reddit's comment length restrictions. The fact that the original post is huge made me want to read the comments.

All of the admin and mod comments talking about how they had never seen some of the actions taken against the OP felt like theater. It just felt like mods wanted the post to have as much traction as possible for as long as possible so it needed controversy above the contents in the post to legitimize it.

When you consider that so many high-visibility subs are still in protest mode and the front page of /r/popular has been dominated by posts from junk subs during this event (/amiugly, /roastme, /tiktokcringe, etc) then using a post like this to draw eyeballs to reddit to boost engagement just seems like old times. I personally think there was a lot of collusion between admins, mods, OP, and several of the commenters to keep the post on the front page for so long. With that in mind it looks like a successful engagement exercise for them as it drew several thousand comments to a sub that likely gets limited engagement in real life.

You could build that entire post in less than a day by taking a crash course in UFO conspiracy stuff and just grabbing enough random data to build a narrative unlike any previous narrative so it seems new and original while regurgitating all the old episodic themes with a backdrop of whistleblowing thrown in since that is really what those people want. The addition of a discussion about DNA just adds to the magic.

I am reminded about a methodology we followed with a previous employer. When we had interest in our data from a brand new client we were instructed to always send some "carefully selected random examples". Just cherry-pick a few things and let them see what we can do when we do our best with perfect data. Let them think that their shit data will be that good.

You can prove anything if you ignore enough facts or data.
