>Europe has a different cultural range around employee compensation. I haven't been able to determine why that is the case.

Primarily because they value a hundred different things way higher than "Make all the money in the world" on their list of priorities.
> All US Dollars are created by the Federal Reserve.

What?

the US Mint in the US Department of Treasury creates money (which it then banks in its account at the federal reserve), though perhaps the ebb and tide of money into and out of the economy is more like what you describe?

The non-activated OS will continue to receive major updates including updates related to security. Microsoft isn't well served to have a lot of non-activated copies out there acting as at-risk security zombies.
And even if it is related to output working less hours doesn't always mean less output. If you can genuinely retain the same output, or similar within reasonable bounds, I'd expect to see no pay cut. I know for a fact I'm more productive a tuesday after a 3 day weekend than a monday after a 2 day weekend so I'd expect to see at most a 5% decrease in output and I'd happily trade 5% of my pay for a 3 day weekend every week.
My team currently does Monday through Thursday, although we've done Tuesday through Friday before too. M-Th has aligned much better with other teams in the company. It was never great when someone discovered something late of Friday or over the weekend and our team was the only one there not on Monday to help address it.

That said, I wish we could go to MT and ThF schedule. Only ever have 2 days in a row with out a break would seem pretty magical to me. I'd either had yesterday off, or tomorrow - always. Fridays are such a slower day though that I feel like I miss out on less than I would on Wednesdays.
Regarding #1, as someone with managerial experience, I'm really tired of hearing, "We can't find enough Elixir resources".

That's a cop out excuse. On the Discord, Slack, and Elixir forums, there are hundreds, if not thousands of devs looking for work.

Often it is lamented that nobody can find enough Elixir engineers, but they also seem to have a very hidden agenda here. Executives just want the job done, and Elixir can do it, but all too often the trope of not finding enough resources is lauded about as a reason to stick to LANGUAGE_MANAGE_HEARS_ABOUT_MOST (Python, JS, RoR, et al).

Everyone also only wants Super-senior-staff-principal engineers for Elixir roles, with 20 years experience, and can live code a project to perfection in 3 hours. Maybe realize that as the community grows and engineers adopt to the language, it's ok to bring in early-careerist resources, or others who just are getting started out. Give them a book, some assistance, and keep working with them, and it doesn't matter who knows it at first, in 6 months you'll have a rockstar team.
> You can take a paper document, and add all manner of markup to it, without needing to alter the original source. Why can't we do the same with hypertext?

This is a crucial point that I had never considered. Maybe we could mark this interleaved metaHTML with IDs or classes that make it easy to strip out. Or maybe HTML is a rendering format and we need something one step up.
Private companies crash and burn far more than governments. Your statement is just one of survivorship bias without stakes. If 99 out of 100 companies fail its generally pretty low stakes. If one government fails, it commonly results in a lot of deaths.
Famously, Nintendo's president Satoru Iwata slashed his pay in half in 2014 due to the failure of the Wii U, and imposed pay cuts of 20-30% on all other executives. I don't recall any layoffs being announced in this period.

To add to class things - there is constand scrutiny towards the lower class labour - they dont want to go to the office, if benefits are too high, noone will work, are they getting paid too much, etc.

I have never heard anyone say that investors are lazy and not doing their job. What kind of idiots invest in Theranos without doing due dilligence? Why is infrasteucture lacking investment? Why is more money slocking around speculation instead of the real economy?
They can ultimately change the code if needed. Luna also tried that IIRC.
Agreed. Hydrocarbon fuel is going to be hard to get rid of entirely. Especially in applications where energy density is important. But beyond aerospace I’m not sure what those applications actually are. Once (if?) we start accounting for actual costs the more energy efficient option should win out just based on economics.

Is seawater sourced carbon actually carbon neutral? I always imagined the neutrality of synfuel relying on atmospheric carbon. I know the ocean absorbs some but is it enough to not be adding CO2 to the atmosphere? And if not then whats the energy efficiency of atmospheric carbon captured synfuels?
I have a four-day, 32-hour work week, and I am less productive, but that was the plan up front and I'm very okay with that (and luckily, so is my management).

I wanted more personal time, and I also needed more time to take care of my physical and mental health with appointments -- which all of my providers schedule during the 9-AM-to-5-PM period anyway -- and simple rest and relaxation. If I didn't have this schedule, there's a good chance I wouldn't still be at this current job or would have burned out earlier in general, and my contributions are valued, so it works out well for all parties involved.

But I don't think you have to justify it so concretely or morally -- you can just want to do a day's less formal work, or want to work toward a society with less work and more leisure time! The 40-hour work week is arbitrary, anyway.
If the only problem was socio-economic, it would affect native Swedes as well. The problem is actually not socio-economic with these people.

A single computer in a museum would be vulnerable to 51% attacks. It would also be too illiquid to recoup costs.
It's an attractive idea for sure, but it's probably not that much in the scheme of things.

Say a full time employee earns $150k - total cost to employer is usually 2x so $300k. $40m / $300k = ~133 jobs. So if the company is laying off 10k employees it's close to 1% jobs saved - almost a rounding error. And that's if you cut the CEO's pay to $0.

A CEO would have to be earning something like 1000x more than their average employee for it to start making a really noticeable difference in actual layoff decisions.
Yes, acute care for eye injuries (or potential injuries like to verify the eye is fine after it was hit) is covered under health insurance (in the US) and not typically covered by vision insurance. Vision insurance mostly covers your routine exams, glasses, and contacts. If you have a real health issue (glaucoma, macular degeneration, etc.) with your eyes and not a vision issue (myopia, presbyopia) then that's also covered under your health insurance and not your vision insurance.
>Sweden’s only option is to learn how to live with it.

There is another way.
I think you're resorting to quite a few strawmen here. Americans are not queuing up to the blood bank en masse, and I live in Europe and appreciate its standard of living. However I believe to have any chance of maintaining it, Europe will have to make tradeoffs that it's economic rivals are very willing to make.

I am very skeptical that the issue is about Europe's linguistic, cultural or economic diversity. We are debating whether the regulations can have an economic impact and it's clear they do. Some modern AI tools are getting a late release in Europe because of regulation, some major apps like Threads are not even released here.

And for what? Some of our governments are still part of mass surveillance initiatives. Spying apps like TikTok and Facebook are able to hoover up data because people simply want to give it to them. I just don't see this future where Europeans have data privacy, I see a future where regulatory efforts are sparse, selective and harmful.

I haven't visited that gorge but know the feeling well. One of my favorite spots in the world is Grand Staircase National Monument which, among other things, is an amazing fossil resource.

The last administration tried hard to destroy much of the monument largely for coal mining. It boggles my mind that we destroy beautiful landscapes and 200 million year old fossil records for nothing more than the ability to burn a little more coal for a handful of years.
Depends. As a specific counter-example: a lot of (USA) non-profits have self-perpetuating boards. The CEO and the Board go out and recruit new members of the Board. While the Board has a legal fiduciary duty to the company (non-profits are companies!), it can get pretty murky pretty fast.

For publicly held companies (and some credit unions and similar structured organizations), sure, the Board is "elected" by the shareholders. But this isn't an election like you're used to, and the Board recommends who should be elected to the Board and those people generally are elected.

Privately held companies can have a Board that's chosen by the owners, some even have Boards appointed by the CEO, or the CEO can have a controlling interest in the company. It takes a pretty big breach for you to remove a CEO who appointed you to the Board.

Cloudflare is half as old as Google and even younger than Amazon, yet your concern is with their monopolistic potential. Explain how that's possible if the companies at the top are maintaining all the control.

We've seen significant shrinkage among the FAANG and their peers in the past few years.

Walmart was considered a massive monopolist threat before Amazon came along and ate their lunch. These are examples that fly in the face of your contention.

What are some examples that support your argument that any of these businesses holds a de facto monopoly?

Again, the root cause of most of the monopolistic effects in our market are due to regulatory capture. Without regulations to set minimums for competitors, they face the threat of newcomers. This is why Walmart and other big organizations support minimum wage increases despite the negative impact on their bottom line. New supermarkets can't even begin to incorporate if they're faced with massive wage and regulatory requirements.
And as long as companies keep using these types of methods to "track work" or "attendance" people will keep finding ways around it.

> Then, if you manage to somehow to preserve the value and actually give each person 1 billion

You're making the same mistake most people discussing these questions, by focusing on money.

Money is a convenient medium of exchange, and monetary policy is one of the many inputs into the economy. But at the end of the day, people don't care about money. You can't eat t-bills. Greenbacks won't put a roof and four walls around you, and you don't burn them to keep the lights on. What really matters, and what people really care about is wealth. Material wealth.

Wealth is only produced when people work. Whenever we talk about society as a whole 'not having the money' to afford something (Social security, social services, pensions, etc), money isn't the limiting factor. Our society's wealth is. And that wealth is measured in labour that goes towards producing useful goods and services - not in how fast money can be siphoned up by rent-seekers, or in how fast labour hours can be pissed away on make-work ditch-digging-and-ditch-filling.

Unlike money, you can't just magic up widgets into existence, by pretending to work.

On the one hand, labour participation is up. Productivity is higher than it has ever been in human history. But so is waste, active parasitism, and passive inefficiencies[1], due to the high upkeep requirements of modern societies.

[1] Car ownership is a great example of this. A mind-boggling amount of labour is poured into providing everyone with cars, and keeping them, and the infrastructure that they need running. And there's no practical way to opt out of it in most of North America. So much of the wealth we generate goes right back into maintaining the systems that we inflicted on ourselves.
That sounds amazing. I often do my best stuff at 2-3AM (mega night owl), but I don't necessarily want to work that schedule - not least because it's a shared house so it's not a time frame I'd ever want to be, say, having to take a voice call.
WASIX relies on way too many forked projects to be maintainable. It's part of the reason that I resigned after only a couple months working for you - what you're trying to do isn't a terrible idea, but it is super poorly executed.

The other part is exactly what yoshuaw described as very disrespectful and immature behavior on your part. I know from my interactions with you that you are extremely argumentative _to a fault_, don't take no for an answer, and always assume you know better than everyone around you. Maybe you're somehow proud of that, but it's not surprising to hear you've been banned from participating in the Zig community.

You should respect the Zig community's wishes and be willing to contract the work out with clear terms, taking on some of the risk that it takes longer than expected yourself.
> I can’t help feeling like the Arecibo case should be a lesson for the TMT movement: you’d miss the telescopes if they went away.

Generally when people are fighting for their sovereignty I don't presume to know what is best for them. That's kind of the whole point of fighting for one's sovereignty.

Wouldn't this also be a way to sell SaaS products to enterprise customers? If you do a search on say the Ford Motors site as an employee and see the result featuring a specific company's product wouldn't you assume that Ford was recommending that company for your particular need?

And voting for the party is sensible. Most important votes happen along party lines. Including the most important, for Speaker and Majority Leader, who set the agenda.

Most other votes will be largely sublimated to the party priorities. The individuals will determine the specific contents of what they're voting on, but in general the person from the other party is going to vote against the things you're most interested in. You may watch your party vote on things that aren't your favorite, but it's unlikely they'll be repugnant to you. That's how they got to be your allies.

If you want to get more involved than that, you show up for the primaries. That's a multi-way contest to find the person who best represents you and your allies. That's where the party priorities get set. People who vote only in the general election are missing out on the real work of politics.
Given ESR was very wealthy by most any standards, it seems very disingenuous to list himself as an LBIP. His need “high”. Seriously did he waste his fortune in which case I don’t feel bad for him or want to support his wasteful ways. Alternatively he’s still well off and just greedy.
> It’s tied up in the Hawaiian sovereignty movement, and a lot of cultural connotations

I mean I think this is underselling it a little. It seems like the main difference is that Puerto Rican colonization and subjugation started like 350+ years before Hawaiian overthrow and annexation, so there are just very few descendants of indigenous people left in Puerto Rico. Conversely, a significant portion of Hawaii is descended from indigenous people, and some of them probably had grandparents who grew up in an independent nation and remember them talking about it. The wound is still relatively fresh.

I think what happened with TMT would have also happened with Arecibo if the Spanish hadn't already killed nearly all of the indigenous people, to be blunt. It's definitely about sovereignty and not about a distaste for telescopes. There's a lot of infrastructure I'd like to see built in my own country, but that doesn't mean I want another country to invade and then build it.

Oh, wow. I did not somehow know that. What would entail if they were to enforce it? Do they even enforce this?
So from my reading, the shitty behaviour is from the app, not the cable. Have I misread it?

What happens if you try to use the cable without downloading the app? I for one would assume that my cable was defective, if it needed an app to work. I realize that HDMI cables are weird, and that like quite a lot of modern interconnect are not a monolithic standard, but come with multiple support levels; I wish that would stop.

A standard is a standard, and market partitioning is no part of the job of a standard.
> FF (Form Feed) = Ctrl-L […] Many VDTs interpreted this as a "clear screen" instruction. Software terminal emulators sometimes still do.

This was commonly used on Usenet as a spoiler tag, because the rest of the message wouldn’t be displayed until the user pressed PgDn (or equivalent) past it. It was visible as “^L” on the screen, so you knew there was more coming up, and the rest of the screen was cleared, until the ^L scrolled out of the screen.
Being fully remote gives me 6-8 hours back each week because I don't have to commute. It has been huge for my mental health, mostly because I'm able to get more sleep.
OP has only four posts, all for the same website.
The point isn't that you could work harder now with 5 days and do more; it's that you could be just as productive in 4 days as you currently are, which presumably is acceptable.

The big question is, will people continue to slack off during work hours and lose productivity? I do spend a lot of time in between tasks decompressing from one and gearing up for the next. I'm not sure how that would translate if I just tried to collect all that "slack" time up into a separate day.

At the beginning of the Covid shutdowns, my company did go to a 4-day work week. It was great (although our pay was adjusted). I don't think our productivity suffered, but it's kind of hard to estimate because there were a lot of other unusual variables, like the supply chain issues and variable work schedules of people in other companies.
I'll remember this always: when DeepMind solved a subset of the protein structure prediction problem, they used Jax as the framework.

PSPP was a long-standing issue and to see a fairly new computational tool used to significantly aid in the process of "solving" it speaks greatly towards its general utility in the sciences.
So the study asked a bunch of extremely misogynistic men if they have lots of sexual partners, and they answered yes - so the conclusion is that the misogynists aren't incels? Did you think, perhaps, the people responding may have lied? Because I can tell you pretty much every last incel I've come across will claim they have had hundreds of sexual adventures when they're trying to impress you. They definitely and provably haven't.
I feel like the 4 day workweek will need to be led by new businesses rather than hoping large corporations will ever go there. In my mind a 4 day work week would also increase consumption across the board as people have more time to vacation/have experiences/get into hobbies/etc…

Of course it is not a silver bullet but spreading awareness is a good step.
That name immediately came to mind upon reading the title as well.

You seem to think everyone updating to a 15 already had a 14 or other recent model? I don’t think that is a sound assumption.

I’m on an 11 and my wife has an 8. I’ll probably get a 15 next year, 1 year old second hand as I normally do.
This is actually a very important question, with some quite troubling answers.
To be an incel, particularly to label oneself an incel, is a declaration of sexual frustration. "That person has no sex life and that isn't their choice".

And if someone has many sexual partners, they are not incels.

Ergo, what I think the article means to say is "extreme misogyny probably not caused by being an incel".

I can understand the assertion, though, that being a shithead to women is about trying to look tough, be an alpha Chad, seem independent and incapable of emotion (like the main character in grease or so many teen movies of yesteryear). It's just easier to spread online now.
Part of the criminal justice system is removing dangerous people from society. Sometimes you can make this determination before their 18th birthday. In general I agree with you though.
Extreme Misogyny in Incels Probably the Primary Cause of Their Sexual Frustration
I would assume any website which stores and displays video transcodes them to known internal specs and format. YouTube certainly does.
Companies could just not produce and show ads but keep the ad budget in their prices and keep spending it. Yes, this will of course not work, this will screw up all kinds of incentives, but then lets make it a tax and let the state send a cent every time I visit a website. Free internet services for everyone just like we could do free public transportation. Not sure if this could work and even if then it would probably be more complicated, but I have serious doubts that the ad based system we have right now is the only, best or most efficient system.
As someone pretty well marinating in "right wing" - based on where I live and the social circles I tend to run in - you're mostly right. They aren't mutually exclusive; you can have guns and friends at the same time. You can even have friends with guns.
