Finance: “Finance is a broad term that describes activities associated with banking, leverage or debt, credit, capital markets, money, and investments. Essentially, finance represents money management and the process of acquiring needed funds.”

This is exactly what we are talking about? Would you not call the “process of a acquiring needed funds” - funding?

Would debt, income and equity not be the three ways of “acquiring needed funds”?
Thanks, I skimmed. I wonder if there are other ad-hoc Kerberos systems like this.
I don't think it's egotistical, I would love to ask some questions to my great great grandparents, learn more about our family, what things were like for them back then, and more. I assume (and hope) my descendants would be interested in the same one day.

Re: more realistic AI, I don't know if "good" is the word, fun, easier to chat with? I'd love to have a smarter Alexa-like assistant who I can pop up on a screen or jump into where I am and have a chat with, have her pull up information for me, feel like she's really there working with me or helping out around the house. People love the human side of AIs so it's not just a cold interaction, it was always common for people to say "thank you" to alexa and write in saying they thought it was really nice when she would respond for example. I know I personally like that too. Even for video games it would be awesome to have very realistic NPCs you can interact with, keep embodied in the game.
And what would you have gotten from 2% flat cash back? Probably similar, I’m guessing.
> Unions are the only path to success when Congress is operating in a degraded governance state

Congress is divided, but still generally productive [1]. Expanding labor protections simply isn't a political priority. Also, this can be done at the state and local levels.

> Do you know how many worker hours will be exhausted in suboptimal labor conditions waiting for Congress to pass human labor protections?

About as many as there are laid off writers? Ten percent of Americans are in unions [2]. Doubling union membership in a year has less effect than waiting ten years to pass protections into law.

Let's be charitable and steelman your parent comment, and Tank Man too
(quite literally).

Character is important.

As you say we don't know much about Tank Man. It was probably more
than the defining moment of his life, it was the last day of it.

Isn't it fair to assume that whatever led up to that moment was a life
lived in good character? He may not have lived as an exemplar of
"authenticity", and if it was only a moment in an otherwise selfish
and wasted life, like those "city businessmen" who spontaneously jump
onto a subway track to save a child, we agree it doesn't that subtract
from the authenticity of the act?

As we say around here "carefully pick your hill to die on". But
there's more to the picking than a rash decision in a single moment.
There's everything that built that character too, no?

Making it obvious how to use it and making it look pretty are often in conflict. That doesn’t mean you can’t have both, but it’s generally hard work.

I hate this response. Not wanting your belongings to leak private information about you is not a desire only elite global hackers have.

> both of these on an individual level are so diluted as to basically be meaningless

I've personally used both to extract concessions from employers.

In any case, my general point is that we need more protections in law for workers. Unions are a good way to distract from that.

They left because Twitter started demanding thousands of dollars for organizations to maintain 'verified' status. Not just journalism outfits, but any 'organization,' to include e.g. popular web comics.

I think you're calling out a subtle difference between "faith" and perhaps "belief" or "knowledge." Gravity is something you believe deeply because of the science and experience you have with it.

Faith would be something like "gravity and other laws of physics exist because the universe is inherently meaningful" while another faith would be "... they exist despite the universe being being random and inherently meaningless"

The inherent meaning of the universe is not something we can test out, but it's something we have a faith-like belief (one way or another.)

Individually, workers have very little bargaining power. Collectively, we have a lot of power. So unless you’re arguing that workers would deliberately argue for fewer protections, I don’t see how not having collective bargaining could lead to more workers’ rights.

The fact of the matter is, God gave us Sunday off and unions gave us Saturday off. Unions were the reason child labor was banned in the U.S. We have worker’s comp and the 40 hour work week was standardized. None of those things would’ve resulted from the benevolence of profit maximizing corporations.
It's extremely frustrating, because in 2023 you're sort of expected to have a linkedin (some job applications even require it!), but people have started treating it like the next FaceBook. From 2020-2022 I saw a lot of COVID conspiracy theories and political memes being posted, and I wanted to respond to them, but since LinkedIn is basically a resume, I withheld responding, for the same reason that I don't put my voting history directly on my resume.

Though honestly the worst part is the "inspiration porn" that people post on there all the time, nearly all of which reduce to "the job market is tough, but don't give up because it gets easy!!!". When you point out that it, in fact, does not ever get "easy" to wake up to 30 rejection emails every morning, they either try and sell you on some meditation routine, tell you that you have a bad attitude, or just block you.

Honestly, it really is the absolute worst platform that I am stuck using. There are worse websites, obviously, but no one is forcing me to go to 4chan or The Daily Stormer every day.

"English, followed by Dutch, is the most opaque regarding reading." An observation very relevant to continuing discussions about the difficulties involved in teaching reading in American public schools, particularly among children for whom middle class English itself is tantamount to a foreign language.

"Esperanto, Arabic, Finnish, Korean, Serbo-Croatian and Turkish are very shallow both to read and to write." Borne out in my anecdotal experience as a peace corps volunteer in very rural Korea, where universal literacy among very young children was taken for granted.

Fuck Spotify. They've played a major role in drastically reducing any chance of significant revenue flowing to musicians, in complete contrast to Bandcamp.

People hearing your music is nice and all (I like it when people hear my stuff on BC), but it is orthogonal to the revenue that used to be associated with making recorded music available. There's far, far more music out there than anyone will ever be able to listen to, and I consider the possibility of even 1 paid milkshake for a musician much more important than some random number of listeners who heard the track on Spotify. I appreciate that you may see things differently, but I think that you're wrong.

Actually I think what killed inetd is, partially, http. At the time, http was connectionless. Open socket, send packet, read response, close. Out of the box inetd would support that, for sure, but it would be constantly forking new http processes to do it.

FTP, SMTP were all stateful, so living under inetd worked OK. One process per overall session rather than individual messages within a session.

Obviously, inetd could have been hammered on to basically consume the pre-forking model then dominant in something like Apache, caching server processes, etc.

But it wasn't. Then databases became the other dominant server process, and they didn't run behind inetd either.

Apache + CGI was the "inetd" of the web age.
On some level, the United States already distributes a form of basic income via welfare. A lot of people already apply for it, but very few of those are freeloaders per-se; they're using a government service to supplant homelessness or destitution. Whether you consider it an abusive system or not, it exists; the logical leap of expanding it into UBI is not very large.

Now, I don't personally think UBI is a good idea, but I do think valuing people based on the whims of a free market is a terrible idea. Something better has to be proposed, or else the income gap will increase and the populist sentiment will further side with UBI. Your move, Voltaire.
Price controls tend to backfire spectacularly. Rent control like Germany does it would probably be okay, but that's a much more moderate form than is typical in America (for places that do have rent control).

There is one fairly straightforward solution for housing, at least: lots of public housing. Ideally, modeled on successful public housing policies from places like Singapore or Vienna.

Getting lots of public housing would probably involve a lot of things that YIMBY's push for private housing too; you'd still want upzoning, you'd still want to get rid of processes that let neighbors stop developments for anything they want (eg. "it's not okay that this tall building will cast shadows"), you'd still need to get planning commission to process permits on the order of days or weeks rather than months and years, etc.
UBI would just be enough to live on. So you wouldn't have enough money to raise children.

That's just one possible policy. Obviously if you want people to not have children you'd choose that policy. If you want people to have children you'd choose a different policy, like paying UBI to children.
Games are one of the few areas where performance matters. Sure, there is unoptimized waste everywhere, but if it release a game that can only get 20FPS on the latest gen hardware, you are going to be ridiculed.

This is Don Norman whose work led to the term a Norman Door. A push door which has a pullable handle on it tricks the user into thinking it's a pull door. Sure, you can just push it if you know; but good design should be intuitive without prior knowledge.

> You'll probably also find out that one or more of the following will also not work properly: Bluetooth, sleep, wake from sleep, fingerprint readers, audio.

YMMV but in my experience this comes down to the quality of components used in the laptop. I've never had trouble out of Intel networking (ethernet, wifi, and bluetooth) under Linux for example, but anything else is hit or miss. It's not a perfect rule but the nicer laptops (Thinkpad X1 series for example) tend to be the ones that get components with good Linux compatibility… midrange and below by contrast is a minefield.
There is actual complaint about the gestures, because they require more subtle motor control and are often more difficult to perform reliably, and/or can be more easily triggered by accident.

> A door handle affords opening.

It's a bit more subtle than that. From my copy of the 2002 edition (p.9):

> Affordances provide strong clues to the operations of things. Plates are for pushing. Knobs are for turning. Slots are for inserting things into. Balls are for throwing or bouncing. When affordances are taken advantage of, the user knows what to do just by looking: no picture, label, or instruction is required.

Then on p.88

> Consider the hardware for an unlocked door. It need not have any moving parts: it can be a fixed knob, plate, handle, or groove. Not only will the proper hardware operate the door smoothly, but it will also indicate just how the door is to be operated: it will exhibit the proper affordances. Suppose the door opens by being pushed. The easiest way to indicate this is to have a plate at the spot where the pushing should be done. A plate, if large enough for the hand, clearly and unambiguously marks the proper action.

It's not just that handles afford opening, it's that they afford pulling.

I've had a quick flick through the pages on affordances, and can't see anything that stands out about the drift of the word "affordance", so that might be in a later edition than the 2002 one. (The original edition is from 1998).
