mob rule
/ˌmäb ˈro͞ol/
noun
noun: mob rule

control of a political situation by those outside the conventional or lawful realm, typically involving violence and intimidation.

I'm advocating for regulating industry for the greater benefit of the overwhelming majority of society as is already practiced in every developed nation on earth. You already can't build a house or sell a sandwich without following half a hundred regulations which are written in the ashes if a million poor fuckers who were maimed, killed, or fucked prior to yourself. If you exist in the modern business landscape you have internalized this and accepted it as the cost of doing business. Nobody gives every a little fuck if for instance you think your sandwich shop doesn't need health inspections or your workers don't need food handlers cards or if you would like to sell houses that don't meet building codes.

If we mutually understand that is literally how the world works everywhere then going back and pretending that society needs to justify "taking away Elon's rights to sell consumer hostile cars" then we are being intellectually dishonest. The same way you are being intellectually dishonest by denigrating simple democracy as "mob rule".
Your experiences during "conscious sleep" almost exactly match many phenomenon described by meditators and that of ego/mind death as described by UG Krishnamurti. On the experience of "being flattened":

>“When I lie down and close my eyes, the outside world completely disappears, and there is only the awareness of what is happening inside, the lub-dub of the heart. The whole human being is reduced to just this awareness of the heartbeat (laughs), and then suddenly even that is gone. I don’t want to use the word ‘samadhi’. Every time it happens, it happens in a different way. And then sometimes there is a flash of light and everything is gone, it is totally blank; perhaps that is pure consciousness. This is not a vision. You know I am very sceptical. But I can’t compare this with anything. And I don’t rush out to refer to some book to find out what it could be. I’ll have to discover it myself and this is a moment-to-moment business.”

>“This is perhaps called samadhi, going into samadhi. Say you are lying down on the bed and because there is nothing else to do, you watch your body. Actually you are not aware of your total body when you lie down, only those spots of the body that touch the bed. And when this happens, after a while, all of a sudden some kind of a searchlight is thrown on this point (head?)—this is some kind of awareness, not a vision—this is like a searchlight from the top like you find at airports, and it moves from one point to another, slowly, back and forth”

>“Yesterday, I was lying on the bed and the body disappeared. There was awareness of only the head. (This was unrelated to the previous state, yet a similar one. But how it comes into being every time is different). And then all of a sudden the awareness disappeared from my head and there was only the bed. When you are in this state, you can’t do anything. But, later, I was narrating this to Valentine. It is like the Mickey Mouse story—what you see in the Tom & Jerry cartoon film. Something hard and heavy falls on the cat and the cat becomes flat... When I woke up, I thought, ‘What is this? My body is so flat!’ At the time you can’t do anything, only later the mind comes in and tries to understand but it cannot—it can only speculate, imagine, which shows that the trace of the mind is still there. It comes but gets no answer.”
Thank you for the recommendation.

I got into a rut in terms of just doing programming and reading technical content about a year ago. So, I started reading from a list of books mentioned in various HN posts.

As I slowly make my way through the list, I feel both like an idiot for not having read these books earlier, and at the same time thoroughly happy that there are such beautiful concepts out there to learn that's not just programming or systems design.

Hadn't heard about the Utterback one! Seems like it would be right up my alley.

Ok, I was hoping you would explain why those votes are bad. I don't even vote anymore but when I did, I never voted any party's line, in general I wanted a moderate president, conservative senators, liberal prosecutors and house reps and very liberal judges with a mix of conservative vs moderate and liberal for the rest. The individuals also matter. But this was before trumpism, now as much as I want to, I don't care if they curr cancer, I can't support republicans after their decision to make a religion out of trump.

So when you say dems this and dems that, I mean a lot of dems downright suck, i can't believe they even let feinstein run! But if a person votes in oakland or anywhere else, is there a third option other than republicans and democrats? If not, it's either vote dem or don't vote. I choose not to vote because having only one option isn't voting and voting just to stop the other guy isn't a choice either.

To be very blunt, I hope republicans do get their fascist way, that way at least violence is on the menu again and there will be more options on both sides of left/right wing politics after that. I strongly believe ranked choice voting is the answer though (that I prefer), that and banning pacs and corporate political donations. That way conservatives who aren't absolute fascist nutjobd stand a chance and so would non-progressive and moderate liberals.
You're right, it's not their job. But allowing this type of use of Twitter to continue means that the company is implicitly supporting it. If people can be upset at Nabisco for enslaving children in developing countries, then there's nothing wrong with being upset at Twitter here.

And it's not unreasonable to expect a personal response from Elon since he's such a publicly vocal person.

The CoPilot team could pull the code from PyPi and use it to train their models, regardless of whether it's on GitHub. If you don't want AI trained on your code, then either don't publish it, or publish it somewhere that forbids (and preferably enforces) AI companies to index or train on it. But good luck with that... it's public code. Don't publish it if you don't want humans or machines to read it.

They do have the cloud version of Office which is "free".
The problem is the op did resubmit the game without AI, but was still rejected for the same reason:

I explained exactly how this worked and that there was no AI-content directly in the build, and even since then issued a new build without this mod ability just to be super safe. [...] Then, today, I randomly received an email that my app has been retired with a generic 'your game contains AI' response.
Would it be fair to nationalize the companies at an amount approaching market value? From the company’s perspective, they did solve a real problem that was previously created by the government and it took a lot of time and resources to do it. The government changing the rules would be kind of a rug pull on those companies, even if the new rules are objectively better than the old ones.

Absence of care for ailments has the potential of being life-threatening. Television shows or movies are not.
in my hometown, there's a whole set of streets (<X> Avenue, Drive, Place) that got built in the 90s with <X> being the surname of the chair of the council planning committee at the time, who was about to retire (ie the person who grants permission to build those houses). You almost have to admire the blatantness of the grift.

My heart goes out to you. My story is similar. Everything in school came easy to me. Later in life I found myself outmatched by "lesser minds" who knew the value of consistent effort. I knew I lacked discipline, was envious of others whose parents had taught them this, but could not figure out what to do.

If and only if you are like me, the actual problem is that you have not mastered yourself. One who does not master himself is mastered by others. Mastery of oneself is the ability to make a wise decision and execute.

To get started, literally from scratch, I determined to commit to one decision professionally and another personally. Then later I would expand.

By the way, none of this involves delayed gratification. Self-mastery is immediately gratifying day by day and hour by hour as we see the small results. What people call delayed gratification I experience more as compound interest.

At work it was simple. I committed to watching closely those I admire (or envied). I studied their behavior carefully and practiced it myself. As Aristotle said, when you imitate a person's behavior, you gradually gain an internal understanding of it. Sometimes you even know why they do things better than they do, as you have come into it deliberately and with objectivity.

On the personal side I committed to pursue something fun that I enjoy - even past the easy and fun part. Deeper pleasure in something we enjoy become possible when we give up being the dilettante and seek to be the master.

Life is amazing, but anything worth doing requires sustained effort. Pick something that is worth the effort - to you - and master it.

I just dump stuff in Google Docs.

For backups from Google Docs (or cloud in general) to local, I use rclone. [1]

But otherwise Google Docs works fine.

Unit tests are useful if you write them alongside new code, but then become not useful since if you never change the code, they never break, and so are wasteful.

It's better to have tests more sensitive to failure, like integration or regression tests.
> In some countries, the government sends out a tax bill as if it's a fait accompli and the poor citizens just have to take it.

I highly doubt this happens in any working democracy.

What the government does in those countries is just send the tax form pre-filled allowing the tax payer to make any corrections as they wish. You are just as much in control of your taxes in such a system as the US one but it just has a lot less work for most.

In an authoritarian/etc system you end up paying whatever the government says you have to pay no matter how the system works.

Really if you are living in a country where you can’t dispute your taxes when you think the government made a mistake you are living in a failed democracy or authoritarian/dictator system.
I'm not okay with that either. (Although PCI DSS and banking regulations do present a limit to their potential shenanigans.)

A secondary in any case, as issues have well-developed remediation strategies. Few regular folks are banned from the financial system without recourse.

I get it. You wanted to be edgy and shoot from the hip, but this time pulled the trigger too fast.
And a regular source of rtf vulns as well unfortunately. But I am with you, needing s cloud word/office to edit rich text sucks.

There are other reasons to switch to the fork, but I think you'll get ForgeFed either way, which is as it should be. The more participation in the protocol the better!

But they could, trivially, using homestead exemption public record data wrt primary residence. EITC can be an attestation online. I prefer systems that prevent tax fraud. If you want to prevent institutional overreach, that’s a governance issue, not “better they just can’t find the fraud.”
Sure -- until your system crashes and data is left in an inconsistent state because some of it was written to non-volatile storage and some of it wasn't and your OS had no concept of transactional consistency because mmap is a leaky abstraction.

[UPDATE] I missed a crucial part of the problem setup, which is that the data is read-only. That obviously moots my objection.

Posting from BRC via Starlink intermittently powered by solar (it's a foggy day). The sound camps are bumping their music out across playa and people are venturing out (on foot) to go dancing. Hopefully everyone realizes that now is not the time to take a shower and to conserve water and other consumables.

On the other hand, the government spends a huge amount on dialysis. Medicare pays for it regardless of your age. Removing the need for dialysis simplifies life for politicians by putting off the day they need to raise taxes or cut Medicare services.

Dialysis is also a lot crappier than this would be. My mom was on dialysis and quality of life is not great. Neither is the expected lifespan.

Free markets have their flaws but their big advantage is competition. If the government approves this device, and it provides significantly better outcomes, then nephrologists who use it will take patients from those who don't.
>Teams that attempted to measure the points in good faith were stessed and most of them showed signs of burn out. They regularly worked 60 hours a week.

I read this as the teams that attempted to measure in good faith did a poor job at estimating. If management tells you that you are required to deliver 10 points per week, then 10 points should take you 40 hours with rare exception. Whatever other idea you had in your head of what 10 points "should" mean is simply incorrect.
HR will definitely reject someone because of the title of a blog post. When you have a pile of a hundred CVs and two openings, you disqualify quickly.

I'm basing this on real world experience.

Until you say a naughty word on some forum, and Google bans your account and you cannot log in anywhere.

Or you say a naughty word on some forum and Microsoft bans you, so your GH account gets closed, your xbox stops working and you have to wipe Windows and install Linux and hope like hell that you have a local copy of all your 365 docs.

Far fetched? Maybe it is, but I feel less anxiety by having separate accounts everywhere.
I've always been wary of adopting Discord, at all.

Every time I see a business inviting me to a Discord, I feel like I'm putting myself in a position to be mistreated either by the platform or by the company inviting me. I feel like they don't quite understand sound business principles like Platform Risk.

If keeping up the business afloat is your mission as a business owner, why'd you base your business off a platform you don't control? You might assume a Platform Risk, and be fully aware of it (and in the meantime, capture the capital to have your own platform or contract services from another platform less volatile), or you might not be aware of it at all, or if you're aware, you just play dumb and say "it won't be a problem, that happens to others, not to me".

I just get discouraged, I never end up joining these Discord communities and I don't buy the product/service the company is selling, I feel it distasteful.

In these SaaS days where providers can get away with not having a proper Support department or they are too big for you to go ahead and sue them face-to-face... why'd you put your neck on the line this way? It feels so needless.
There's also polycystic kidney disease, which is a fairly common genetic condition.
You're interpreting "tax liability" to include every possible deduction, when I think it's perfectly clear that OP was referring to taxable income before deductions.
> when the workers have unique knowledge and insight that management does not have.

AKA every time.

AFAIK, Taylor himself wasn't nearly as radical about doing measurements and only acting on them nor about managers deciding everything and not listening to the workers as Taylorism preaches. His work was one of the many, many management theories that was completely modified to appeal to incompetent power-hungry wannabe dictators (and yet blamed on the person proposing the original theory).
2FA, for one. The only time I created an account and someone's dedicated GitLab instance, they had mandatory 2FA enabled, which is a lot of hassle to just be able to submit an issue.
I think the Theseus design would accommodate this in 4 different ways:

1. native Rust modules

2. arbitrary code running in WASM sandbox

3. arbitrary code running in KVM virtualization, perhaps with a Linux kernel there to provide a backwards-compat ABI

4. one can compile the WASM+untrusted app into trustworthy machine code (still implementing the WASM sandboxing logic for the untrusted component); I recall Firefox did this with some image handling C++ code they didn't find trustworthy enough

I know the Theseus project is working toward WASM support.
Or they are just busy. A pile of a hundred resumes and two open positions usually means you disqualify quickly.

Sometimes we need to pay rent and deal with obnoxious HR departments.
Some background for late viewers:

I found htmx recently and it's exciting to me because its potential to vastly simplify website development experience without compromising on user experience. One design principle that htmx is based on, Locality of Behavior, is particularly eye-opening. ( https://htmx.org/essays/locality-of-behaviour/ ) Yet despite htmx simplifying the frontend, actually writing the matching backend is still messy because existing tools funnel developers to separate concerns rather than co-locate behaviors.

xtemplate was written out of spite from being forced to jump between half a dozen files just to add simple backend functionality: define a new route, code up yet another repository, fight the ORM's stupid query generator, create a new handler, manually wire it up to a template, blah blah blah. Screw it, what if you just put everything in the damn html? I happen to be familiar with Go's template modules, and it turns out they are naturally suited to htmx apps because of their flexibility and the ease of defining and reusing inline template fragments.

So I ran with it and tried it with a todomvc-style app in the now archived `go-htmx` repo. Eventually I stumbled on Caddy's template module, and realizing that I could skip all the web server-related feature development by integrating with Caddy I rebased onto it to get a head start. The next thing it needed was a consuming project, small enough it could be completed in a reasonable time, but not so small that it's not useful. So XRss was born.

Medicare pays for dialysis, regardless of age. So it'll probably also pay for this, to save itself money.
When there's a good, engaged PO then Scrum can work.
What is affordable in your opinion? 300k won't get you a burnt down shack.
I never said one should be fighting. My point is that POs/PMs should know the domain at least as much about the domain as TLs do.

The problem is not needing discovery work or understanding the problem. The problem is when the Tech Lead is the one who's providing all the data for that discovery, or helping them understand the problem better, because of lack of expertise of PO/PM. Or having to push back because of incomplete knowledge.

If there is lack of information or incorrect information, POs should be able to get that information themselves. If a TL is the sole source of that info, then it becomes an issue.

IME this is very common. And it takes too much time of a Tech Lead's day.
