it is not zero-sum between two parties (as in if one party shows more love, there is a chance it will create more mutual love from the other party).

But, the problem can be reformulated as zero-sum in terms of time: Time is the ultimate scarce and zero-sum resource, you cannot create time, only redistribute.

The more time we spend with the loved ones, less time we have for other things like hobbies and work. Company wants people to spend maximum time on work and worker efficiency (so called "career growth"), and less time on personal life etc. For corporation - worker's attention is absolutely zero-sum game and they want maximum of worker's attention, on top of 9-5.

That's why they create more employee love by throwing benefits, free food and snacks, corporate parties so that they spend less time on personal matters and work more toward the company's goals.

I haven't lived there in over a decade, but even then, they were at least talking about programs to deal with the "worst" tourists for a few demographics. And all the while, they were putting in lots of money to make things nicer for the kind of tourists they like. While I was there, it seemed like a popular and economically successful set of policies. I'm guessing they still are.

My parents bought a house and went on multiple family vacations every year and never really were too concerned about money, saving up a decent amount for retirement. My mom was a teacher in a poor inner city school and my dad was a low level insurance salesman. My mom never had to worry about student loans, they were easily paid off. I think trading fiscal peace and security for an iPhone is a bad trade.

One tractor can do the work of tens of people easily, and in the last ~150-200 years, we've gone from a vast majority of people producing food to a tiny minority, while the rest can be social media managers and feng-shui specialist. One excell spreadsheet can do the work of a 100+ paper-based accountants, and that's even before a database and automation.

We could've stopped at tractors, lived the same lifestyle as before, but with 1-2 hours work per day (or even less), but we decided we wanted and needed more, and more is what we got.
I wish I had these opportunities in my early career. Now 10 years in with no mentorship, direction or real responsibilities, I’m struggling to find self-worth and opportunities to go up the chain.

> Wow, online resources on this stuff are terrible.

I've been thinking this a lot lately, searching for things like: a detailed block diagram of the Linux kernel, how page tables work, a comparison of function call ABIs on different platforms, details about low-level network protocols, reserved Linux PID numbers, etc.

Occasionally I would find a Reddit thread with an answer, but it was mixed in with the usual Reddit dross, and I doubt that Reddit is a reliable place to store knowledge. StackOverflow was particularly unhelpful, as the questions are mostly oriented around accomplishing particular tasks, and the answers are necessarily brief.

Nowadays, for general knowledge, I skip Google's enshittified search and go straight to Wikipedia, but Wikipedia has limits on how much detail it will go into about technical topics.

I wonder if there's a need for a comprehensive wiki for all the details of computer guts? There are lots of scattered resources, but having them all compiled in one place would be awesome.
Why not just crank up the port fees for cruise ships enough to cover for this gap?

Although perhaps it would be effectively the same as outright banning the ships.

I don't really need a "fluffy and animated" interface. That's not what is important to me when I'm working in a tool. For me, it's more about "How many clicks do I have to do to do a task?", or "can I find the information I'm looking for quickly?" Our task creation workflow often boiled down to "create a bunch of tasks, work them, close them, then repeat". I felt like I was having to do too much work to get information into the app in a way that was disproportionate to it providing the information I needed.

From a maintenance perspective I hear you though. I supported the Redmine install, and I've supported Jira installs in the past. The sheer amount of horsepower I had to throw at, and shenanigans I had to deal with, to support Jira is mind boggling. I have a small joke that the reason Atlassian is going cloud only for their products has everything to do with the fact that only they are big brain enough to understand how to run the damn thing reasonably, haha. And yeah, administering the Redmine install was "oh yeah, we have a Redmine instance, I should probably update that". So that is definitely a feather in its cap.

I also can appreciate that it has a rich ecosystem of plugins and extensions to make it your own. I often look at plugins with a grain of salt though, because having more things to add and more dependencies to support drastically changes the administrative burden of a system. For me, I'd rather have one opinionated tool with a minimal but functional feature set. Fortunately, there are alternatives out there that enable that flow for me and my teams, so it's not like I'm not served.

There's always the possibility that Redmine and I just never clicked, and that's okay. I don't _need_ to like every tool, and I can easily see how folks that it did work for got great benefits out of it. My negative experiences are personal to me, but do not discredit the plenty of positive experiences teams have had using it.
> Take my father, there is no way he could use a password manager, or two factor, it's just never going to happen.

Have you tried the “passkey” integration on Apple devices? If so, do you think your father would be able to use that?

To me, it seems such a simple UX that I can’t imagine even the most technically illiterate being unable to use it. In the Apple ecosystem, there is literally no configuration for the “password manager” it’s just integrated into the Apple Account. You’d go from a notebook of passwords to just one (the main Apple ID password, for recovery etc).

Obviously “passkey” is not available in most sites yet, but I imagine that once it is, the switch might be pretty painless for the non-tech savvy. Assuming the other device manufacturers can provide similar seamless integration.
I rarely use my laptop as a coding device, must have external monitors and keyboards, otherwise my neck hurts quickly.

the laptop by design is too close between its keyboard and monitor, I wonder how others can use it continuously.

I hope in public areas we have some monitor+keyboard+mouse there for use(or rent, like the EV chargers to-be-built-more or the gas-stations-everywhere), everyone just brings his/her laptop, or even a little raspberry pi or intel NUC, or cast their phone screen, then plug and get work done.

Along the same lines, the "Math is limited by math" really contains a hidden physical assumption, which is this: the (quantum, extended) Church-Turing thesis is an assumption about physics. The (classical version of the) argument goes like this:

Suppose you want to solve the Halting problem for Turing problems that can execute one step per second. If I have a machine that takes 1 second for the zeroeth step step, and 0.5 seconds for the first step, and 0.25 seconds for the second step, and so on, I can just run the "normal" machines' entire infinite history in 2 seconds. If I want to check if the twin prime conjecture is true, I'll just check every integer. If I want to check if an arbitrary normal machine halts, I just run it on my unusual machine.

As far as I can tell all of the arguments against the reasonableness of such an unusual machine rely on some physical argument. For example, computational speed requires energy, an increasing speed would require an unbounded amount of energy, which is both impractical and would also presumably collapse into a black hole.

So, I guess I should be careful a bit. The Halting problem is a perfectly well defined mathematical question and it has a definite answer. But why is it an interesting question at all? That's a question about the nature of the world.
> Tomorrow is my 65th birthday.

Congrats!

> the day after tomorrow, I am pitching my 3rd startup to investors.

I'm still pretty active (58) but there is no way I'm going to do another run, I'm happy tinkering with stuff, spending time with kids and working on average 3 to 4 months per year. I always saw money as a means to an end, just another tool in the toolbox. I don't need more of it so that part of the drive is gone and I'd much rather spend a day playing piano or fixing something than that I'd want to be worried about metrics, investors, customer acquisition, payroll and the bi-annual whack over the head from the fourth dimension that throws all your carefully laid plans into disarray.

But I do very much wish for you to succeed at whatever endeavor you've got lined up and I'm curious to hear about it. Much, much good luck with your plans.

Think of annual profit generated by company as a fixed pie. or total market as a giant pie.

Question is how to slice a pie between Labor and Capital?

Now we know that IT is a growing market, and next year pie will be bigger, much bigger. That's why Capital needs Labor to cooperate along and work as efficiently as possible to capture maximum slice of pie for the Corporation next year and the year after.

That's why they give variable compensation and give sense of ownership. Just by giving out 0.1% of shares, Capital is able to extract max value form Labor and make their pie grow at 30-40% per year.

Absolutely killer deal for Capital.

That's how zuckerberg et al become billionaires, while employees who created the money making machine are mere (multi)millionaires.

you join stage B startup and get 0.01% of company as ISO options, but you do the 100% of the work required to make product and grow company from $10M valuation to $10B valuation. Three orders of magnitude growth for Capital, while Labor get 1/1000 of that growth
A wiki for operating system internals. I like this idea!
Maybe it would be more accurate to say that, for a corporation to act in such a way that maximizes financial gain, it must disregard ethics. Perhaps the optimal behavior from a financial perspective is also ethical, but in many cases it will not be ethical.

As for crimes, in many cases, criminal behavior results in a fine that doesn’t make the behavior uneconomical. I’d like to say I don’t understand why this happens :-)
I think you forgot to price in the fact that some people live with what is effectively a time limit sometimes counted in months or weeks (like the person from the linked article).
This is an incredibly relevant point.

Take North Korea, they have access the the know how of all the same advancements and yet because of social conditions, it's population is not thriving.

This is true of many countries honestly. The impact of social justice, equality, and all that are huge. And can't be understated.

In fact, we can all easily imagine an Elite ruling the world at the helm of AI powered robots, leaving the rest of us to scrape the bottom.

Social breakthroughs are going to need to keep pace with technological advancements, otherwise those same advancement can also help to bring minority holding power even more stronghold on the rest.
> What’s also important is not trusting a chiropractor

While I totally agree I would extend this recommendation to not trust anyone who does spinal manipulation without proper knowledge, since practioners of quackery use a lot of job titles.

This especially includes osteopathy (maybe with the exception of the US variant "Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine", I only know the european kind) - damaging the spinal cord or big blood vessels with slow motions doesn't make it less damaging.

As a rule of thumb: If it looks like a quack, swims like a quack, and quacks like a quack, then it probably is a quack.

There may be anecdotal evidence for it being some kind of miracle cure, but I can also tell anecdotes of people getting bonus stays at the local hospitals stroke unit after visting an ostheopath.
I feel this if you have economically well off, you want (me) the tourist to get off your lawn. However if you want some growth and jobs, my dollars/pounds are good. Tricky balance. I live in London, sometimes I can be grumpy with tourists but heck everyone needs holiday.
The port could be owned by the state or some private entity, not the city.

I think e.g. the Venice port is owned by the state.
I can't find it anymore, but there was a paper or maybe study looking into the question of healthcare outcomes for just such "people of means." Iirc there was some interesting data which showed being able to afford doctor shopping and concierge service was sometimes correlated with poor outcomes compared to the standard of care overall. I think it makes sense, the patient can demand what they want and then get it, but they're not necessarily armed with the knowledge or perspective to make the informed decision. If they can afford to find a doctor who values a lot of money over anything else though, they can get it, and that might not work out so well for them.

Michael Jackson, Joan Rivers and Lisa-Marie Presley for example would probably all still be alive if they didn't have the money to simply buy the healthcare they wanted, damn the consequences and cost.

>socialized economy

Here in Denmark a significant fraction of the population (students, elderly, long-term unemployed) are already on some kind of pseudo basic income.

Why not just do basic income in this future "total AI automation" scenario? Why do so many people on the Internet think only radical socialist revolutions can solve all our problems?
If someone talks about how they love to work and don't want to retire it's not a judgement on any other choices.
> You could have said the same of Industrial Revolution.

Yeah, and that's when people make it clear they don't know history.

There were many points during the Industrial Revolution when if you said the same thing, you would be absolutely correct.

A few of those times, the problem was "solved" by violence and deep restructure of the economy; other times it was "solved" by violence and letting lots and lots of people die. By the 20th century people realized that if you restructure the economy earlier, you can avoid that violence step, but some also realized they can just spread propaganda saying problems never happen, and stop any reorganization.
> Drug companies would have every incentive to bias the results towards approval by giving the drugs to detain patients.

What do you mean “detain” patients? Remember we are talking about people who have a terminal illness with no known cure. How can drug companies “bias the results”? Obviously I’m not saying we take anything they say as gospel, but in short order these patients are expected to die. If a drug managed to cure them that would be quite hard to falsify don’t you think?

> I’m not exaggerating when I say this might be the worst idea I’ve read in this entire thread.

Well, thank you. I aim to please. Are you sure that you understood the idea well? If you are, could you please explain with more words what is the misbehaviour you are worried the drug companies would commit?
A password manager can generate nice passphrases. Really, generating a nice and secure passphrase is no different from a nice and secure password at this point. It's all about entropy and byte mapping.
Are you saying you think existing height restrictions in cities are driven by concern for the mental health of people in/around them?
what does 'no-std' mean in STX's description? new to me, very interesting.
The smell they emit when running their generators in port is also horrible. I don’t see much good cruise ships bring Seattle, it was better back in the 90s before this was much of a thing. I’m not even sure what they do beyond hitting pike place and a bit of the water front.
I kind of see where you are coming from, because it's true that every alternative to passwords that seems to be gaining traction right now is horribly complicated. Webauthn and passkeys are like the IPv6 of security upgrades. Waaaaay, way more than is needed to improve upon the security of passwords.

Now, the rest of your argument kinda sucks, sorry to say. There are things we can do to make everyone's personal information more secure. Using childhood clubhouse password "technology" is not cutting it. We can definitely do better than shared secrets that get leaked to the whole internet on the regular. We can be more secure with an easier to use UI. Yes, people will still get pwned, but less people will, the bad guys will have to work harder.
This is the real reminder for young people. Every single one of us is one tiny cellular mishap away from an untreatable, agonizing demise. Be KIND to one another, because when it is your turn to die, you will have wanted to have had a positive impact on the world and those around you.

Stabbing backs to maybe get a pay raise will mean nothing to you or your family. It's just one more person who won't honor your temporary existence.

Be KIND.
Yes, it stopped being funny long ago. Lots of former rental properties have been converted to short stay hotels. And plenty of the owners are living abroad so Amsterdam is hollowed out from two directions at once like this (space wise and finance wise).

There is no affordable space in the inner city anymore. Nothing. When I grew up tourism wasn't a thing, now it looks as though the whole city has essentially been given over to it with everything else secondary. Really happy to see Halsema make some sensible moves to curb this. But it's lots too late and probably way too little.

Or because they’re the only vector by which tourists interact with Amsterdam in a <24hr span?

Thousand and thousands of people arriving, confused and not necessarily having been excited about Amsterdam in particular, and then leaving within 8 hours?

Seems believable that cruise tourists are unlike any other type.
Or, how hard it is to predict future markets. I remember when I started making games (on CD-ROMS!) and I met a guy who had a "multimedia" company. It sounds so funny now. He felt that soon their would be huge stores, like record stores(!) that had aisles and aisles of CD-ROMs for every need and interest. It didn't sound unreasonable at the time. And now I can't even explain to my kids what record store were like when I was a kid.
I remember that in 1991 there was an article (IIRC paid PR by Siemens) how the checkout by RFID is the next big thing that will happen the following year. 20 years later it started to really pop up in the stores in the form of EPC Gen2 RFID for customer-facing applications. The obvious common usecase are libraries, as there is defacto standard extension for exactly that application (the tags can also work as EAS tags that can be enabled/disabled over the EPC radio interface), another huge application are clothing and sporting goods retailers. From extensive playing with the technology I had concluded that the reliability leaves a many things to be wished for, but apparently in these applications either the amount of distinct items is small enough or missing few of them do not really matter (if you scan a whole pallet of EPC tagged items you are bound to miss some of them and thus it is only good as an approximation, if you scan a shopping cart it is probably more reliable. Reason for that is on one hand the physics of the radio interface that can be shadowed by somewhat surprising kinds of objects, like people, and the other is that there is a ridiculously large, but still finite amount of tags that can be de-conflicted and read in a given time).
Tourism is the modern day resource curse.

It provides mostly only low skilled jobs (just like mining) and the financial benefits largely accrue to wealth holders (just like mining).

Proper management is crucial to make sure it does not destabilize local economies. Banning cruise ships is a good start.
