I personally wonder whether “luck” is underestimated more among most, or whether they’re moreso overestimating the degree of the value creation of the person who was lucky to find themselves in a position where they could create lots of value.

There’s a perception that guys like Ballmer created $10B of value and managed to capture $1B of it. Just because he was lucky to be there doesn’t mean he didn’t hold a pivotal role and make a huge difference in the outcome of the enterprise, and may have been awarded a small % of that value created.

Maybe other people could have created that value too, but he was lucky to be there, they were lucky to have him there instead of someone worse, and he still only captured “10%” (or whatever) of the value created.

My thought is that many of these billionaires do have a large “value over replacement” where replacement is just some random person with the resume for the position.

But I don’t think the enterprise creates nearly as much value as has been assigned to it. I think much of the value is created by the public infrastructure, an existing public education system which provides affordable skilled labor, and much of the laborers themselves.

So personally I think Steve Ballmer did get lucky, did create a lot of value for Microsoft, and captured some portion of that MSFT +value, but Microsoft captured a lot of value that was created by others (the government/public) and likely more should have been captured by them instead.

None of them are secure against the global surveillance apparatus.

Cade's bike fit is generally OK, but IMO he's lately been way too click-baity with the videos and trying to tailor his texts to the youtube algorithm ("10 things ...", etc.). Maybe it's just me, but I find it somewhat annoying to sift through.

I wanted to get married and have kids. Being rather effeminate, I don't attract the women who do want to have kids. I was about 40 when I finally realized that if she said she didn't want kids, she really meant it and it was not negotiable. I swore a vow: no more childless relationships. Being in no relationship is far better than being in the wrong relationship.

When I tried to adopt, Florida's child welfare agency decided - after doing a background check - decided to declare me "legally gay" since I was heavily involved in LGBT rights (all my friends were lesbians and I was mad at how badly they were treated). And back then, it was illegal in FL for gays/lesbians to adopt. Not that I was/am one.

The question whether that was the parents, the wider family, the "villagers", .. remains open (I would presume).

Either way, for whatever unkown reason the bodies are being moved, I see no signs that they are being disinterned into chairs and paraded about the town square (something literally happens with the dead in some cultures that you have liturally referenced) .. just the careful, respectful, recording and logging of sites by archeologists.

The issues comes with whether their work should be done or not.

And then with whether it should be on the public record or not.

And lastly with whether media should trawl those records for sensational content or not.

Where is it you draw the line .. I can live without the trashy popular coverage myself.

It absolutely does not. Going backwards in time like this, most people will have many generations where the number of their ancestors in that generation go down, not up.

For the majority of the past four thousand years, almost everyone lived in farming villages that had ~50-100 families living in them, and mostly married inside those communities. Even just going to a neighboring village for a bride was something that only happened occasionally, but even when that happened, it was almost always the same few neighboring villages. This means that when you trace ancestry backwards, you always end up related to everyone living in a few villages, and then every few generations this extends to a new village. Then if you are related to a successful trader or soldier or something, it will suddenly double the amount of ancestors in a generation, but I really need to stress that this is rare.

The introduction of the bicycle did a lot for reducing inbreeding in farming communities, because it was something that a normal people could own, and allowed day visits to neighboring communities. Before that, it was entirely ordinary to live and die without ever traveling more than 10 miles from the place where you were born.

It's quite surprising because ever since the "credibility revolution" [0], a major critique of economics is that it focuses too much on issues that are well suited to "validating via observation" as you call it, rather than issues that are actually important. For instance, more looking at the effect of soccer victories on inter-ethnic trust [1], fewer grand theories of development.

that sounds like something from movies. was that really that widespread?

screening is really a challenge. i mean the only thing you can really do is to analyze the motivation of why someone wants to adopt. but most people that you would not want to allow to adopt can go and have their own children anyways. when does preventing adoption turn into preventing to have children? or why should anyone who could have their own children be prevented from adopting?

short of a clear misaligned motivation or mental (and other serious) health issues anyone should be able to adopt.
Film is a very fun hobby that I recently began enjoying. I’ve never been into digital photography — the instant feedback kind of removed the magic for me. Film forces you to finish the roll (or you’re throwing money away) and that helps keep me engaged. When you get the scans back, you get excited to get out and shoot another roll.

I will say it’s expensive, but the real expense isn’t the stock or the gear but development.
TL;dr: If you just play games, stick to the Amiga 500, 600, 1200, CD32 or a Mini, Pimiga ... leave the big box machines, like the 1000, 2000, 2500, 3000 (and tower/UX) and 4000's to those willing to spend the money on a productivity machine... (almost like he says this because otherwise prices will get too inflated for us to afford those).

The big box machines were more often used for video editing, graphics, etc due to their expandability. According to the video they were less popular in Europe, which was not really the case, but there was just a larger group of people who had the Amiga for games. Like in the Netherlands, Germany, etc.
The tech companies themselves aren't able to read the messages, and no process exists to do so -- that's a necessary part of the security design and a core tenet of e2ee.

Sure, iCloud backups and photos are technically readable (they're not under e2ee) but policies and procedures exist to allow law enforcement to access them as well.

What you're asking for is that e2ee be eliminated in favor of a process-heavy solution. But at the end of the day, any human-dependent process can be broken by social engineering and a lack of vigilance.

Yes, an e2ee session can be broken by shipping a hacked client update to an endpoint. But that's much harder to accomplish, human- and process-wise, than obtaining the right key from the right person.

> in my case, "bike fit" is more of a process than a one time thing

That's very apt, and likewise. I see a new bike as the beginning of a long journey to where it is all set up and tweaked to just how I want it. Also: most bikes straight from the factory are rough ideas of what you could do with it and as a rule need all kinds of tightening, especially spokes and various friction grips. Also not rare to find cables that are too long / untrimmed, electrical bits that are so loose they can get trapped, loose bolts (and even sometimes missing ones). Think of it as an almost but not quite assembled kit and you wouldn't be too far off. I also probably have about a bike's worth of spare parts in every category and more than one in some (pedals, kickstands, saddle pins, pinions, handle bars etc).

> the distance alone is just part of the job. I do about 5.000km a year just on the 2x10km a day commute.

That's still quite a bit of good training. A family member does 2x30 km 6 days per week, 48 weeks / year. He should probably do bike reviews :)

> For me,I kinda regret now doing only a couple of 200km+/day low intensity rides this season. This would have revealed the problems much earlier...

I do a 2x70 once, sometimes twice weekly and on that distance most issues will show. I also can't do much longer anyway without breaking it up (knee issue, lots of steel in one leg). It's one reason my e-bike sees more work these days than the regular one.

> 1200km is Paris-Brest-Paris. The time limit for that one is 90h, so 86 is "barely just made it".

To me that is far out of reach, consider me seriously impressed with this.

> But I went full bikepacking on this one.

Even more impressed!

> Took way too much gear, which slowed me down a lot in the climbs.

Yes, weight is killing. We have a tandem here and I take my sons on rides with it and uphill you might as well be walking (which we sometimes do).

I don't like riding in groups at all, these are all solo rides or with one child.
Honestly it would be better to just describe what your tool is, rather than trying to describe it in relation to something else. People know what workflow automation is, and people know what monitoring is. I was initially confused at what this product had to do with Github Actions.

Also, it would do well to link to your website ( https://www.keephq.dev ) also, rather than just something that immediately prompts me to log in.

And one final thing, having a demo video with some sort of narration to explain what I am watching people click on would also be helpful.

Obviously these are just my opinions, and they are worth exactly what was paid for them :)
A reduction of only 2x between July and November is actually super positive for renewables. Wind and solar energy is almost free on an ongoing basis and installation of new capacity isn't expensive. Your number suggests that simply installing 2x the capacity needed in favorable weather would be sufficient for unfavorable weather. Actually it's more like 3x but that's still often very doable.
Interesting question, I'd say both.
The harder it is to stay in the middle class (by arbitrary standard of living) or "ascend" by incorporating in Ireland, the more hesitant people are regarding children. F.e. if middle class population % is big (like in Czechia or Sweden), there is higher fertility.
Centralized agriculture is not necessarily more efficient compared to localized agriculture, because centralization introduces additional machinery, transport costs, pesticide/fertilizer research/production/shipping etc etc. centralized agriculture is actually a huge resource suck compared to localized methods, which puts a huge thumb on calorie-per-acre net.

The entire phrase 'trying for kids' is a neologism only enabled by birth control

For most of history, people just did what you did and had the results you did
I grew up poor and financial anxiety was real, I just couldn't fathom how people were living with it. I could barely tolerate it for myself, let alone bring kids into the world while being uncertain. It didn't feel like anything condescending, just a lack of understanding.

Now I'm very well off and could retire (fat fire equivalent) at 34 and I do want kids.

That sounds like something from a dystopian novel...
I was born around a decade before my country's fertility rate went below replacement and the social change this shift brought is staggering.

As a child I assumed most of my peers would go the usual route, so eventually start a family.

Being in my mid 30s now I'm the only one out of three siblings who is a parent and in my immediate social circle there are just two others - that's three out of at least twelve people.

The rest are either single, divorced or just childless, with no plan for starting a family in the foreseeable future(or ever) with maybe one exception, but if you asked me two years ago about that person's prospects I would have to say the were looking bleak.

I don't go around asking people why aren't they having children, but those who did tell me cite either finances or unwillingness to give up their current lives - sometimes both.
> 2. Ingredients are listed by percent, and nobody wants "sugar" as their top ingredient, so lots of products will sink it down the list by having sugar, and syrup, and honey. 3 small ingredients instead of 1 big ingredient, but you're still just eating sugar.

I think it must be category 2, given that you’ve gotten a bunch of very strenuous type 2 objections, and no type 3 ones, in the comments they have responded to you.

Actually I think there are almost never type 3 objections. Almost every law is something of the form: “Do this, pay fines, or stop providing your service here.” Of course, the “do this” might be impossible, but there’s no mathematical contradiction in the idea that a company can be run out of business.
It's a question of predictive value. Economics definitely has predictive value. Eg supply and demand, the emergence of money, price elasticity etc.

Economies in video games fascinate me, because it's another 'world' where you can see whether some economics principles apply or not. Eg the game Path of Exile doesn't have 'money', but various crafting materials ended up being treated as money by the players. The exchange rates between them are set by supply and demand as well.
How does in-context learning work?
I think it's playing a similar argument as the GP with US-guns-per-Czech-person. OK, Czechia is a bigger part of Europe than Montana is of US, but it looks as if Montana was picked to show how the original argument is invalid.

> in reality mass leaks of private data have never been an issue.

This is just wildly untrue. The 2015 OPM hack (in which an APT stole security clearance records) was a mass spill of private data. The Shadow Brokers leak put the NSA's most sensitive tools on the public internet for anyone to download. And of course we might never hear about collected intelligence that had been purloined by an adversary in the course of an offensive cyber operation.
The millions of unknowing CUA users don't know or use any keybindings - they just click, scroll and select with a mouse. Arguably, it is also what made CUA the worst option - there is just no selection pressure from users, no complains is something is not working properly. Vim keybindings are so well supported compared to the share of users because vim users care.

I would also agree, that vim keybindings shine for programming, less for prose where one would be all the time in insert mode anyway. Emacs, oh, readline keybindings are less supported in general, but can be found in the most unexpected places - text fields and editors in macOS, console terminals. Now, CUA - I would not even know which editor I should use it with - some amount is supported everywhere, but there is not a lot overlap between let's say windows and macOS, so I would put this idea into a box with a label "Had some clear influence on things we use, but is mostly dead".
Well that's kind of the key point of making some rules (and training) about handling firearms, to have a legally valid reason to prohibit the irresponsible people from handling firearms if they have demonstrated that they won't, and can't use "I didn't know" as an excuse after they have decided to be stupid.

The first step, of course, is coming to an agreement whether that subpopulation of 'irreversibly irresponsible' people should have the right to bear arms or not; in USA there doesn't seem to be a consensus about that.

Right. The point I’m trying to make is that Wasm can only interact with the user through those JS APIs. This is in direct contrast to Java/Flash, which could directly render on the screen with an API that bypassed the browser’s JS layer.

Webber next considered the impact of a student’s major. If you choose a business or STEM degree, your chance of winning the college bet goes back up to 3 in 4, even if you’re paying $50,000 a year in tuition and expenses while you’re in college. But if you’re majoring in anything else — arts, humanities or social sciences — your odds turn negative at that price; worse than a coin flip.

You didn't mention the city name. There's several Kohlstraße in Germany but only one Köhlstraße it seems, that would be in Cologne (Köln). Suburb is Ossendorf, District (Bezirk) is Ehrenfeld and if any form asks for a Bezirksnumber, it's 4.

Cologne has only one district court (Amtsgericht), that's https://www.ag-koeln.nrw.de/

Of the various Zwangsvollstrecking I think the Forderungsvollstreckung (you want to force somebody to pay their bill) is the relevant one https://www.justiz.nrw/BS/lebenslagen/zivilrecht/Zwangsvolls...

I'm not familiar in this legal area. You'll need at least somebody to translate the documents. I know one (well, a German resident) can do everything themselves for very low cost, I think 30 Euro. That's what contractors in Germany do when their bills are not paid.

Basically you tell the local court your demand, the court will notify the company and if they don't pay then the court will find ways to get the money. All the way to literally send somebody to their office and take their printer, office chair or company car and sell it. That part of justice is sweet (and funny) but usually it's letters send back and forth.
>On the other hand some people decided that they're cautious enough and by in large most people avoid accidents and practice good safety practices to avoid harm should one happen.
