Your argument fails because you can replace parts of the device.

Is what I should say to you since you were involved in the editor war while I was not. I have not even said anything on this topic other than that there are tons of VS Code users here so the "unpopular opinion" makes zero sense and just feels like you were being rude to Emacs users (of which I am not one). I downvoted you because you were doing editor warring.

This is similar to calculating probability from an odds ratio - if x = 1 and if n = your odds ratio, p = n/(n+1)

The empty circle is a common Western symbol for “off”, as in power switches.

It associates with zero == false == no. I suspect this is why Sony swapped the meanings.

The meaning of an X symbol isn’t universal even in Europe, but it’s often used to mark a point of interest or active selection (as in ticking boxes, or “X marks the spot”).
VSCode is not a fad - it has huge support from Microsoft, is the most popular code editor by far, and is a very good tool that's beginner friendly and allows for customisation. It is already almost a decade old. Visual Studio has been around since 1997 so there's a good chance VSCode will be around for a good few years too.
They're wasted because it becomes this game where one side claims the other side didn't do it right, and the other side claims it's not described in sufficient detail, it takes years to actually disprove something if the other side is persistent. It's not a one and done, it's a huge time sink that drains energy from researchers. You try to replicate something, you fail, that's not a publication, that's just nothing. For a phd student in a lab, that can derail your career plans if you it breaks the timeline of working toward your thesis. It's hugely damaging on an individual level. Not to mention the frustration and cynicism that comes with spending months to work, spending tens of thousands of dollars, on some bullshit that someone made up. Nobody learned or gained anything really from the Schön scandal[^1]. It just sucks all around. Not to mention it ups the pressure on scientists when fakes build a publication record, leading to a vicious cycle where the pressure makes it more likely that folks bend the truth a little bit.

Dear Hacker News crowd, I am from Assisi. I was born and raised there. At age ~30 I left Italy and joined a then-small AWS as their first employee in Europe, and ended up living abroad for ~13 years. I now live in Venice, Italy.

Government is very easy to define, a system of social control for which a group or entity is given the exclusive authority to use violence to enforce that control

Thus there are no voluntary governments, as if everyone agree to something no force is required, and all government actions are enforced via the threat of violence

There's a few open data projects that provide similar features to Streetview and can very occasionally be useful in regions without coverage. But yes, typically outside of Streetview coverage you'll be relying on satellite photography, which makes things far more difficult. But that doesn't exactly make the advice here any worse, it just means that the problem you're trying to solve is fundamentally more challenging, so even good techniques might not be able to get you to the solution.

The easiest way for leaders to mitigate the problem of 'not wanting to work' is to make work a more desirable place to be. It's not even hard to do. Some simple rules for managers and leaders:

1. Treat others as you wish to be treated. Remember all the shitty bosses you had, and be the first to break the cycle.

2. Pay people slightly above market rate. Make that your #1 hiring message: "We pay above market rate" and watch the referrals flow. Turn your employees into evangelists and you won't need a platoon's-worth of recruiters.

3. Be very loud and very public about commonsense balance of work and just 'life'. No emails after 5, prioritize social-family events like PTA meetings, or dates, or "Hey I'm gonna take my team bowling Friday afternoon, can I expense the chicken tendies?"

4. You can't build culture; it's created from within. Embrace what your employees bring culture-wise and make THAT your work culture.
It depends on whether accountants’ concerns here are about auditing and fining (indirectly) for non-compliance, or if they’re allowed and expected to block projects.

For SEC compliance reporting, I’ve seen banks take it both very seriously and provide the absolute minimum to pass muster such that the COs could barely do their jobs.

What’s clear is that the “same old” and “reasonable” approaches aren’t working, and a disruption is needed.
Taking too much joy in anything that can be ripped from you is hazardous to your mental well being. A well rounded individual is much more resilient than someone who lives for work.

Incredibly ignorant comment. It won't happen because corporations won't let it. Adobe alone could make Linux Desktop happen tomorrow, but there's nothing in it for them. That's all there is to it.
> And when we look back at our history, we see that in the 1950s and 1960s — the glorious postwar years of rapid and equitable growth and plentiful jobs — we spent far more on our military than we do now.

Yeah, but two important words in this sentence are no longer true today: equitable growth.

We taxed the ultra wealthy at a much, much higher rate than we do today and individual purchasing power was much higher.

The household median income in the U.S. in 1950 was $2,990 — roughly 40% of the median home value of $7,354 at the time, according to census data. This is no longer true as a median income doesn’t even qualify for 80% of purchasable homes today[0]

The U.S. imports children. It doesn’t need to make any.

And this is particularly hilarious in the context of China which has already gone beyond its demographic dividend further worsened by their one child policy.

Also, the U.S. has a birth rate or 1.2, whereas China has a birth rate of 1.1 and dropping.
I'm not convinced RTSC will be immediately applicable in fusion reactors. Wendelstein 7-x is using helium cooled superconductors even though nitrogen cooled superconductors exist, but apparently they lack some necessary properties.

What if the RTSC is too brittle to make wires out of it or something like that?
So actually, it's a well formed answer?
Right, but you hear "everyone should be in therapy" from all corners; there's at least one dating app (Bumble, I think) that has an "In therapy" tag you can put on your profile; and BetterHelp advertises themselves with a commercial where girls at brunch talk about a guy one of them has been seeing, and they agree she should stop seeing him once they realize he's not in therapy, even though they know almost nothing else about him ( https://freddiedeboer.substack.com/p/im-not-trying-to-be-dra...).

That isn't really a view of therapy as a specific intervention, but as an almost mandatory practice for adults, kind of like going to the gym. The view of the psychologist you mention is actually sadly rare. Obviously, I think the widely shared view of therapy is a total bastardization of any worth therapy might have had in the first place.
> The major fix for this is higher interest rates… significantly higher. People would need to be willing to accept a slower growth rate in exchange for more predictable and more stable long term growth.

I really like the Restarts’ version of this song.
Superconductors have zero resistance up to some quench current, so you can’t just put infinite current through a superconductor. If the quench current is low, the superconductor is not practical. Even practical superconductors might have a quench current only 4x what you’d put through traditional copper before the ohmic losses become too high.

Tell that to Alan Turing
What dragonwriter wrote, but also this is the difference between a meaningful distinction and a (mildly) pedantic distinction[0].

When I say "downloading a Youtube video isn't a crime" I'm indicating a category difference that means more than "specifically the government can't convict you over it." I mean that Youtube doesn't have a legal leg to stand on to make you stop; it's not a questionably legal activity that we ignore, it's not an illegal activity that's too hard to prosecute, it's not something you should feel bad about. It's not a (generic sense) "crime".

It's not just "you won't face a specific kind of legal trouble" -- you're allowed to do it. Scraping websites is allowed, and if someone sues you over it and you fight the lawsuit with decent lawyers you will win. Copyright violation doesn't fall into that category -- you can end up facing legal consequences for violating copyright. But downloading videos from Youtube is not inherently copyright violation.

It's possible I should have been used a more generic word than "crime" to avoid that confusion.

[0]: To be fair, I've also made the same distinction to people about lawsuits/crimes before, so I'm not sure I really have any grounds to call you out here :)

From the cursory look to an e-shop, it seems to me that majority of notebooks have soldered-in memory, but also one SIDIMM slot for expansion. Just the very low-end ones (and Apple) have no SODIMM slot.

And 16 GB is definitely the most populous category of notebooks.
There is an "adoption" tab that shows history for the overall percentage, and it has grown significantly.

According to Zeihan, China, and to a lesser extent India, have a horrible demographics problem looming. The prediction was for a dramatic collapse in manufacturing capacity. China at least might have the central authority to kill all those too old to work or consume, but my understanding is that doesn't fit well with the predominant culture there which highly respects age. Also, the whole killing people thing...

All the nations, especially those that industrialized quickly are facing this problem. As industrialization correlates strongly with smaller families (don't need children to work the farm). But China compounded it with the one child policy. And they industrialized faster than almost anyone. India went straight for a service economy, that may be even worse. Russia... Not sure about Brazil.

The US delayed its demographic collapse via immigration. It might even effect a soft landing relative to the rest of the world if it can ramp back up manufacturing in a way that doesn't destroy shared resources or enforce permanent underclasses leading to revolt. That isn't an easy task.
Epic takes actual feedback and development input from clinicians. They aren't just ignoring them. But it's not straightforward to make a system that handles all kinds of healthcare, integrates them together, avoids any bugs that could put a real human being at risk, and also appeases the clinicians, the regulators, the insurers, the lawyers, the administrators, and the capitalists.

With all those requirements, even the smallest feedback might require many hours to implement so things don't break or piss someone else off.
If all out war breaks out between two nuclear powers I don’t think 155mm production/stockpiles are going to be quite as impactful as these folks say.

A lot of these screeching hawks are the same who were warning about the capabilities of Russia. China is still well behind technologically, and is also highly dependent on key imports for a lot of military components.

> One new hire on my team spends upwards of 2 hours per day "walking her dog." I even called this out during a formal performance review and her behavior hasn't changed at all. (Work-from-home abuse is another component of this observation.)

Sounds like bad management/leadership. If you are complaining about how she spends 2 hours of her time rather than on the results, and you are complaining about people not giving you free work...

I never had this problem. I had the opposite, encouraging people to work only the hours they should so they don't burn themselves out.

But hey, prove me wrong. Work for free. Let me know, I have stuff I can shovel your way and you can do it for free. Prove to me that you practice what you preach.

This is not a simple issue of wage inadequacy.

There is work for survival, work for wealth and work for satisfaction.

Worker availability varies greatly in different cities and regions.

The drug epidemic today impacts the workforce to a greater extent then decades ago.

The kinds of low-skill jobs that compete favorably against welfare (eg. manufacturing) were mostly exported to Asia; though this trend may be easing if not slightly reversing.

A rush to college for liberal arts and social science degrees has produced several generations of workers whose skills are highly sensitive to economic & political; cycles, and to an impending AI replacement. The same may soon be true for several tiers of web and software engineers.

Small business in America, the largest employer, faces costs and challenges that leave little room for investment in new workers. I'm talking small business - not Verizon, Costco or Yellow Freight.

Government has grown substantially at the federal, state, county and municipal levels in many parts of America - competing with business for workers.

Boomer retirement.

Etc., etc.

As tempting as it may be to sloganize the issue and blame employers - the reality is nuanced and complex.

"But what does it mean for the U.S. to outspend all other nations when China can build warships at 200 times the rate we can?"

Nothing - Physical attacks are becoming increasingly uninteresting, and our ability to target areas and kill everyone in an area don't need hundreds of warships anyway. That's only necessary if you want to be careful.

But much more importantly, taking out useful infrastructure no longer requires bombing literally all of it. Increasingly, you can render large swaths of civilian infrastructure totally unusable (and cause many many casualties) without firing many bullets or bombs.

As a result, being able to outgun China is becoming increasingly useless as a measure of whether you can "win".

(and this assumes nobody wants to just obliterate each other, but instead wants people left standing or land left usable)

> I was not ready to skip a grade level in every subject.

It's possible to go to a higher grade just on some subjects though. In our (my child's) elementary, kids could go up a grade on math only if that suited them better. They stay in their grade but during math hour go to the classroom of a higher grade.

It worked reasonably well but there's some limits since it is only an elementary school so beyond a certain point there are no higher grades available on campus.
