I agree. Rust is the worse by far in my experience. There's a couple of really prolific people on there (Shepmaster and Stargateur) who treat it as their personal fiefdom. Shepmaster does provide a ton of high quality answers but I don't think that gives them the right to be so unfriendly.

Kind of ironic considering how the Rust community prides itself so much on being welcoming.

The problem with Marc’s exposition is that it mixes up techno-optimist ideas with personal right wing ideologies.

More fission reactors? Yes. Massively accelerate technological progress, and reduce the barriers to doing so? Yes. Is AI “extinction risk” overblown to the extent of being an obstacle to progress? Yes.

But markets aren’t self-balancing and do not prevent monopolies or cartels on their own. “Experts” generally know a lot, even though there’s gate keeping and credentialism. The ESG paragraph probably should just focus on the fact that making policy through finance is anti-democratic.

Beff Jezos, who Marc is cribbing here (and who is partially cribbing Nick Land) is pretty openly to the right.

In a document that’s being framed as capturing all of techno-optimism, these arguments are out of place. Without addressing the validity of the arguments themselves, they should have sanded off the explicitly political edges to maximize effectiveness.
This resonates with the strategy I've been trying to pivot our project to: instead of trying to sell all-in-one solution for large-/mid-size bank (easily 100K+ in revenue per case), rather "productize" smaller tools, make them understandable and easily accessible to a wider, smaller range of clients. Example: FATCA/CRS reporting - a thing that any fintech/bank/insurance company needs to do (and hates ); we give a tool which eliminates 80% of the hassle, just get your reportable client list.

So, I on the right path?

Hmmm, comparing the two is interesting. Monsanto pwns the farming based on its gmo seeds, interrupting the ancient, traditional and one could argue human right of a farmer to own the full results of their harvest. But here, all someone could get is some product made from the pods. It's like if Monsanto had a continent of farmland and just planted its own seeds.

>I'm a native Slavic speaker, and I know a bit of Serbian, and "besplatno" _does_ sound more closer to "s" to me.

Yes, it should be an /s/ for sure, but the spelling doesn't need to represent the /s/ sound in this case.

The /s/ sound could be spelled "z" here, and be represented by a rule that says "the voicedness of a consonant cluster is determined by its last consonant".

Serbo-Croatian phonetic spelling is like hardcoding stuff that shouldn't be hardcoded. And it focuses on the wrong stuff - why aren't there any accent markings in everyday writing?
What’s the incentive to show how laid back they are? I imagine a significant population of tech workers would want to show off how much they work.
The two phenomena exist together. Yes, companies target Marls, but most, especially startups, seem to be more interested in acquiring new Marls than it is in milking the ones they already have.

Stepping aside all the hate one gets for being critical of a scientific theory (as we all should do, regardless of how well established it is), there is quite a bit of evidence that polar ice helps to regulate global temperature, seasonal extremes (both hot and cold), seasonal timings, and weather patterns. These are all things we rely on to feed the global population, and live in all the places we do.

As to your main question, I don't see the same conclusion from the data. "Relatively slow" to what? We do have a good understanding of how greenhouse gasses work, and the data for glacial loss is correlated with gas emissions very tightly. I should probably dive into the most up to date data rather than use nebulous words like "very" and "good", but my stance is built on quite a bit of research into it a decade ago while pursuing an Atmospheric Sciences degree, so unless there's been new information that completely changes our understanding, I'd say it still carries weight.

True, but shitty jobs will pay a lot better and they will enable those workers to find meaningful lives outside their jobs. Having some money vs. no money at all makes a big difference.

Same, I lost interest in it when it had my attention. Yes, I'm aware I can consume BlueSky in other apps. I've largely moved away from participatory social media apps after Twitter's demise. I am starting to see more activity on my Threads app pick up which wasn't there initially...so far the feed is fairly reasonable and the addition of voice-clips is intriguing.
Progress indeed, because even ignoring anything else, we at least live much happier lives, and die much less brutally, than we did in the state of nature.
> important part is the use of protected speech as probable cause to seek the warrant

Sure. But Novak didn't just speak. He also moderated comments, et cetera, in a way that made the court unsure if he was solely participating in protected speech. That ambiguity doesn't exist here.

> this was long standing case law

Sorry, I should have said reaffirmed.

> then the PD will get let off the hook

The mayor ordered the police to arrest Petersen. There might be disagreement as to the police officer's liability. But the ambiguity around whether there was an "order" (per Pembaur) authorizing action isn't there. The municipal liability is just much clearer.

One more thing: Novak didn't seek to overturn the Ohio law that "makes it illegal to use a computer to disrupt or impair police functions." In this case, the town's law is itself being challenged. Again, much clearer.

If the Federal government builds a highway that increases your land value, why should you get the windfall from any capital gains?

In this case the IRS collecting LVT is just recouping the investment they have made improving your land for you.
You're still muddling two distinct concepts together. Let's start with a simpler case where it is easier for people to reason about.

There is a single lot in the urban core. There are two proposed businesses vying for the lot. The first is an empty parking lot, the second is a two story parking garage. Under a property tax, the second group would be taxed for the improvements of building the above ground garage they would be taxed on economic activity - that is a bad disincentive for society. Under an LVT they would not be taxed for improving the property, there would be 0 marginal tax on economic improvement of the land. Now where it may not have been profitable previously to add the garage it now is. That is what you want. You have a market for this property, and it is now beneficial to be sold to the buyer with plans for the best economic use of the property.

A second example. Imaging a single city block split into lots. The city changes from a property tax to a LVT. The amount of money they collect from this block stays the same - but to change they will reduce the taxes on improved lots and raise the taxes on unimproved lots. Now those who improve their lots are no longer subsidising the free riders who are sitting on unimproved lots. Again you are supporting beneficial economic improvements and their activty instead of penalizing it via a property tax.

The case you are thinking of, you are using the phrase "marginal" but you are not applying marginal reasoning. Marginal implies a small change with all else being equal. You cannot apply marginal analysis to land as land is not substitutible - there is not "margin" between being in a dense urban center and in the exurbs.

There can be more buyers for a single plot of land. Enough buyers that they can be though of as substitutible. There are not more sellers for a single plot of land - you can't create more land, or produce more land with those characteristics of that dense urban center. Marginal analysis from the perspective of the buyer fails here and that's the mistake.

> no matter where they locate the property tax changes less than a land value tax, meaning the decision on where to locate is based on efficiency rather than taxes.

Again this is thinking that second order effects are first order. The first order effect here is the price of the property. The price of the property in the urban center will at least 2x-3x the price of that same property in the exurbs. It will dwarf any differnece in method of taxes. Even if LVT were 3x the property tax most property taxes are roughly 1% of the purchase price per year. Price not tax is the dominant factor and the reason why that comparison you made isn't valid. Within a price band yes tax will impact decision making, across price bands price obviously dominates. And tax dominating within a priceband is a good thing because we have now changed the policy to no longer tax economic improvements to land - so the tax policy is actually better. It's improving behavior at the margin.

Equalization of tax burden and transparency in reporting. To put it very simply: when you buy a thing you spend money and gain value. No change in books. Then after some time you sell said thing for generally less and experience sharp loss. Think of P&L report of a public company. Such maneuver will artificially increase profits during ownership and deflate, potentially up to incurring book loss, them in period of sale. Depreciation/amortization simply spreads this loss of value over the period of ownership. Tax implications are mostly incidental and come from reporting.
You are saving one register at the cost of having a thread local variable that is visible to signal handlers, so none of its uses can be optimized away. Which results in things like gcc having to decorate every math instruction with code to set errno on the off chance that someone somewhere might read it (no one ever does).
Solaris/Illumos also has a very nice C library with lots more thread-safety than others, including `getenv()` being thread-safe.

Sounds a bit like there was some delayering.
Most G20 countries have front line first responding police that can handle most calls without resorting to military gear, and call on specialised SWAT teams for ecounters that escalate.

Having every officer primed to be a para military kill machine is exactly the wrong approach.

You're in agreement with the original core "defund the police" groups when you want first responders to be trained to de-escalate mental health crisis situations, they want the same if not more money in public facing response, but a whole lot less going to the haress the public we view as bad divisions.
I think in both cases the supplier would get significant lower margin as a result of providing higher quality goods. Supplier cave to the market power of Walmart and Costco. And Walmart and Costco choose to whether they provide lower prices or better qualities. And they maintain this market power exactly by giving more of the surplus to the customers. In the apple case, the brand and eco-system alone can provide that market power, e.g. people love apple products, thus they can pocket the surplus while still maintaining the position.

> Beginning January 1, 2023, if you buy a qualified used electric vehicle (EV) or fuel cell vehicle (FCV) from a licensed dealer for $25,000 or less, you may be eligible for a used clean vehicle tax credit (also referred to as a previously owned clean vehicle credit). The credit equals 30% of the sale price up to a maximum credit of $4,000.

They have to be a licensed dealer, and the benefit is a portion of the sale price.

MT-Safe
MT-Safe or Thread-Safe functions are safe to call in the
presence of other threads. MT, in MT-Safe, stands for
Multi Thread.

Being MT-Safe does not imply a function is atomic, nor
that it uses any of the memory synchronization mechanisms
POSIX exposes to users. It is even possible that calling
MT-Safe functions in sequence does not yield an MT-Safe
combination. For example, having a thread call two MT-
Safe functions one right after the other does not
guarantee behavior equivalent to atomic execution of a
combination of both functions, since concurrent calls in
other threads may interfere in a destructive way.

Whole-program optimizations that could inline functions
across library interfaces may expose unsafe reordering,
and so performing inlining across the GNU C Library
interface is not recommended. The documented MT-Safety
status is not guaranteed under whole-program optimization.
However, functions defined in user-visible headers are
designed to be safe for inlining.

Other safety remarks
Additional keywords may be attached to functions, indicating
features that do not make a function unsafe to call, but that may
need to be taken into account in certain classes of programs:

locale Functions annotated with locale as an MT-Safety issue read
from the locale object without any form of
synchronization. Functions annotated with locale called
concurrently with locale changes may behave in ways that
do not correspond to any of the locales active during
their execution, but an unpredictable mix thereof.

We do not mark these functions as MT-Unsafe, however,
because functions that modify the locale object are marked
with const:locale and regarded as unsafe. Being unsafe,
the latter are not to be called when multiple threads are
running or asynchronous signals are enabled, and so the
locale can be considered effectively constant in these
contexts, which makes the former safe.

env Functions marked with env as an MT-Safety issue access the
environment with getenv(3) or similar, without any guards
to ensure safety in the presence of concurrent
modifications.

We do not mark these functions as MT-Unsafe, however,
because functions that modify the environment are all
marked with const:env and regarded as unsafe. Being
unsafe, the latter are not to be called when multiple
threads are running or asynchronous signals are enabled,
and so the environment can be considered effectively
constant in these contexts, which makes the former safe.
What are you trying to say using that example? The getenv() function shown calls initenv(), which can (clearly) take a lock?

I used to loudly proclaim, given previous work experience, that companies that offshore basic internal services like HR and Desktop Support across the world are companies in their bad times & willing to abuse their own employees.

Then my own employer did exactly that after a rough few years and layoff rounds. Some of my Indian coworkers are my best ever, but dealing with sensitive personnel issues (HR & IT type work) while facing time zone and cultural barriers is still prickly.

My team have a very wide and complex domain of work; essentially we cover all of the domain of public health administration - patient management through to billing through to regulatory reporting, etc, etc. My team can be presenting formal advice for changes to statutory inpatient reporting one day, then troubleshooting a billing algorithm the next day, and then writing a FHIR parser the day after.

In light of this I budget the following time for each of them:

1 hour a fortnight for general chat (what I refer to as temperature taking) to see where each of them are at in terms of morale, etc.

1/2 hour a fortnight for 1:1 catch-up covering administrative requirements (leave, review of metrics, etc, etc).

1 hour a fortnight (1/2 per week) for metric collection and review; are they having trouble with specific elements of their domain, are certain managers, stakeholders, customers, etc, holding things up. Their work tickets vary wildly in complexity and scope so this is the absolute minimum I can spend to know where each person is up to professionally speaking.

1 hour a fortnight for mentoring, training, etc. Generally speaking the more skilled staff will contact me more often to "pick my brain" regarding how to approach certain technical/personnal challenges, how to link data across our datasets, who to contact for advice on this or that regulatory or statutory requirement.

And about half an hour per person, per fortnight reviewing their changes or service requests as I am primary CAB representative for my products - and these items are key outputs of the work they deliver.

So, in essence, four hours per team member per fortnight. Very little hand-holding for such a widely dispersed team, and they remain engaged and focused on their tasks with minimum disruption.

The “unhelpful” part is that people take the 3-word slogan and assume they know what it means. to pretend like “Defund the Police” ever meant “stop paying all police and don’t do anything different” is purposeful ignorance at this point (2.5 years after it was popularized).

In practice, it is a call for lots of changes in the US legal/policing system and government responses to requests from residents.

The best enumeration I have seen of these policies is CampaignZero[1]. You may not like their policies (they align with lefty prosecutors/DAs like Chesa Boudin), but they exist and there are specific policy proposals.

And cities don’t learn from what police officers do. Most large cities have city attorneys who are required to clean up the lawsuit messes that the police department makes and larger cities have a city manager that insulates the police department from the political side of city government. Neither the city attorney nor the city manager are responsive to voter demands nor do they have the legal authority to tell the police to do anything differently (except during the labor negotiations phase, when they are almost always outmaneuvered by police union negotiators).
