I would argue increasing wealth discrepancy is causing far more problems.

All three of my kids are in Gen Z. They all have anxiety disorders, some severe. I got bad news for everyone: this started before they had smart phones. Premise blown.

But now that they're okay (after 10 years) I've been talking with my kids what happened. They all said the same thing: high school. In high school, they said, they had College! College! College! pounded into their heads all day, every class period, of every day. The unspoken message they loudly received is if you don't go to college then you're doomed. You're going to drown, college is the only means to tread water or get ahead.

I've been in group therapy sessions with anxiety-ridden, suicidal Gen Z kids. They all identify the same source for their problems. Pressure. Intense pressure. You want to play sports for fun? Nope. Gotta be serious about getting a scholarship. Can't go out and play a pick-up game with your friends, either. They're all consumed in playing league sports.

Want to do an activity? Better consider how that looks on the college resumé. Better excel at that activity. Be a leader. Can't just join Boy Scouts because you want to hang out with your friends and go camping. Oh no! You need to be an Eagle scout! You need to be a leader! If you do martial arts then there had better be a black belt coming at the other end. All activities serve the college resumé.

College! College! College!

But wait, there's more! My daughter recently pointed out that the United States had been at war since the day she was born. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were a constant background narrative throughout her life. It seemed surreal because life proceeded as though we weren't at war. But you always heard about it. Always saying thanks to those who'd served several tours fighting it.

Finally, I, being a Gen X'er, was the first of the divorce generation. My generation was hit hard by divorce. What did Gen Z get hit with? The housing crash of 2008. Gen Z is the generation of foreclosure. They saw their families lose their home. They saw their families who struggled to afford their home kicked out of their home and then forced to rent where the rents would go even higher than what they were paying for their own home.

Gen Z is the first generation in American history who's not doing as well as their parents. Don't be surprised when they call bullshit on American Exceptionalism or say Okay Boomer! And don't think for a second that the problem is with smartphones. They may not be helping, but they're not the source of all their problems.

It's not that a beginner cannot put 20kg on their back or chest. It's that a beginner does not know how to safely put that 20kg on their back or chest. Especially the chest.

Also some exercises like the deadlift can't be done with an empty bar. Stronglifts would ask you to start with 95lbs which is too much.

To me your comment is toxic and reeks of a sense of superiority and elitism from your own experience. You labelled everyone who can't put 20kg to be someone having a serious medical condition. That's both untrue and disrespectful.

> As you slowly and steadily increase the weight on the bar, you discover places where your form needs improvement.

Please no. The beginner does not discover places where the form needs improvement. The beginner simply fails to lift after increasing the weight. The beginner injures themselves when they thought they could lift but they did not.

The StrongLifts program starting with an empty bar is not right. They should've started with a PVC pipe with the same dimensions as a bar to practice form.

My advice: find a coach and ask him/her to supervise you if you can afford it. If you can't, still find a coach for your first month doing these exercises and then switch to the app.
A lot of it becomes un-noticeable when you’re in the middle of the action. You’re too busy looking at other things.

Yes, I'm quite familiar with the rhetoric.

I've prioritized finding the smallest and most affordable apartment I can in an area that I want to live in (very nice walkable/bikeable non-rust-belt city).

For the past ~12 years my rent has been less than 33% of the mortgage payments for the smallest home in my area (not including property taxes and other costs of homeownership).

Investment gains on what I've saved are good enough for me to feel like I can keep renting relatively comfortably until I die. What else do I need?

I will concede that if you're comparing renting and buying equivalent properties that buying generally makes financial sense. But that's not what I'm doing.

Fair enough. I lost track of that conceit in the hypothetical. If there is a clear victim, then yes it should go back to them, not the thief.

Because individual actors and even nations are discontinuous over the thousands of years we are talking about, we are stuck with treating racial and ethnic lineages as the actors, blurring the lines. The Thief and victim can be the same. Lets say a deceased grandfather (A) was robbed by a now deceased son (B), depriving the living grandchild (C) of their ancestral property. Living Indians, party C, are the decedents of both the thief and victim. It still makes more sense that the stolen goods should go back to them, than stay with recipient of the stolen goods.

Anchoring back to reality, I think the whole thief analogy is bogus.
At the time treaties were made with Indians, possession by conquest was considered a valid means of acquisition, and Indians were held to be in sufficient standing to enter agreements.

Rationales which try to retroactively invalidate the historic land ownership by natives, and thereby invalidate contractual obligations, are logically bankrupt if they dont also attempt to identify a rightful owner to return the property to.

How has it failed on this metric? A user holding crypto can transact freely and without intermediaries, that much is true of the blockchain. That some governments around the world may decide to restrict this activity with the threat of force (some countries more than others) does not mean it isn’t achieving its goals of a permissionless digital network.

The thing that fully convinced me over a decade ago that all effective methods for weight loss are just "calories in, calories out" underneath was the dude that lost 27lbs in 2 and a half months on a diet of mostly twinkies with occasional other junk food for variety. https://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/11/08/twinkie.diet.professor...

Yes, there are other variables like hormone levels (thyroid adjacent ones particularly), genetics (defines base metabolic rate), drugs/chemicals (some effect metabolism), and dietary macros (too much sugar causing diabetes) which factor in to weight loss or gain, but its pretty clear at the end of the day all they are doing is modifying the numbers each individual needs to use in the same old calorie calculations, and very often not to a high degree.

I get its fun to play with theories and edge cases, but I don't understand why so many people find this simple, well established explanation unsatisfying and hard to accept.

You don't, though.
Your understanding is correct, but if your IT department puts a wildcard cert on your machine, it can MitM all your traffic (e.g. your company's firewall can say "Hi I am $SITE, here's a certificate to prove it" and your browser will accept it). Traffic between you and the firewall, as well as between the firewall and the actual site is still encrypted.

Brazilian law isn't US law, if Brazil wants to it can try and arrest spies I guess. That's all there is to it.

> I think "personal ethics" applies to everything and everyone in the world.

I think that spies have the moral agency to gather and report information in order to better promote the welfare of their countrymen.

> I think they should be incentivized to do so much less

How? That's an impossible task in my book, and the main reason I think that spies are ethically just is because it's the nature of the beast. If you figure out a good way to do this, might I suggest focusing your efforts on de-militarization instead of de-espionage? The people with bombs and tanks are the one's who do the most damage.

> But after a binding ruling is issued, I'd assume there would be personal sanctions, liability and likely criminal charges against any individuals involved in defying that decision.

That's not accurate:

Power in the US government is of course separated between the legislative, executive, and judicial branches, and each has checks and balances on the other two.

One check the executive has on the judicial is to ignore its rulings. The executive can't do it all the time, obviously, and afaik the US also generally embraces 'judicial supremacy', the idea that the judicial branch generally gets the last word. Also, I don't recall the judiciary sanctioning indiviuals in the executive branch, but I could be wrong [Edit: of course I'm wrong, see below]. I would guess they've never sanctioned a president.

Perhaps the most famous use of this power was in Worcester v. Georgia; when his favored side lost the case, President Andrew Jackson reputedly said, "[Chief Justice] John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it." (Inspiring rhetoric, but it led eventually to Native Americans having their land stolen and many being marched to their deaths.)

> A browser can still communicate security with any computer out there, regardless of corporate certs, etc. Or do the corporate firewalls block communications that they cannot inspect?

Yes, you’ve got it. Many corporate firewalls require you to install their own root CA certificate and “transparently” intercept and rewrite traffic leaving the network. It looks like you’re negotiating with the external site, but you’re actually doing TLS negotiation with an on-prem proxy that connects to the destination site on your behalf.

I say “transparently” in quotes because it definitely, in practice, breaks things here and there.
> Well that is the correct thing to do.

Is it? I can think of quite a few cases where using 'int' is fine; why is that a problem?
> JetBrains is a good example of this.

JetBrains is an example of a subscription designed to damage your development process if you cancel. Rolling back to a year old IDE isn't reasonable. You should get the current version and all previous versions. Once a version is 5 years old they should release patches that strip out licensing / activation.

> I realized that I was paying so much to upgrade my “perpetual license” software to the new version every year or 2

I have no problem with a subscription in terms of the cost. It's cancellation causing the loss of access to tools that I depend on that's the issue for me. JetBrains is the only subscription I pay for because if a project idles for a year then I'm at least into the territory where I can go back and work on it with the original tooling even if I've cancelled my subscription.

I don't particularly like JetBrains' model, but it's half tolerable. They charge $289, $231, $173 for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd year on personal licenses for all products. IMO, make the 1st year $347 and then $173 after that and give a perpetual license for the current version. Updating every 3rd year and being 2 years out of date by the time you update would only save $100 per year over a 9 year cycle and isn't worth the hassle for anyone that actually uses the software regularly. However, having access to the current version of everything if I suddenly need to cancel tomorrow has a lot of value for me.
I recall someone stating rather authoritatively that they were confident that the WRT54G could comfortably run directly off of automotive "12 volt" DC power, which in practice can go up to 16 volts due to the alternator.

Isn't all religion a hobby?

Just because a lot of Westerners wouldn't die for their religion, doesn't make religion a hobby. That is where you draw the line isn't it? 'True Believers' do believe in a real hell, and are willing to die for it, whether in a Jihad or a lions den. Anything less is just 'signaling' and a hobby?

I was referring more to Buddhist ethics, which do not include getting bent out of shape and calling the cops because they get their feelings hurt over images.

Once you go down the path of being 'revered' and a 'social institute' to be defended, then I'd say you are slipping into being just like any of the other religions with calcified hierarchical structures, a 'dogmatic orthodoxy'. And loosing the essence of Buddhism.

Reminds me of the period in my career I was doing contract work for automotive. I used to work in airbag, highly safety critical real-time stuff, so I knew my way around these kinds of systems.

Mandate came down from customer everything was to be MISRA compliant. Which is great for about 1/2 of your code, just common sense stuff. Like
int DebounceVal[NUM_DEBOUNCE_SIGNALS];

For the other half it's essentially impossible, especially when you're writing your own custom tasker/OS (really just a main loop with interrupts) with some simple system calls. The way things were done back then on small 8 and 16-bit systems. You will have serious deviations. There's just no way to disable interrupts without some assembly somewhere.

The "non-programmer" types at our customer kept kicking the code back for not being MISRA compliant. So I had to go through a lot of iterations "fixing" things. Led to code that looked like this

if (k > ZERO) ...

n = n + ONE;

tens_digit = num % TEN;
hundreds_digit = num % ONE_HUNDRED;

You get the picture.

So code reviews really added no value, because instead of reviewing code (remember these weren't programmers) they just complained about what some automated tool was saying.

After several back and forths I got so sick of things I created a file called MISRA.h to collect all the nonsense defines like this.

#define ZERO 0
#define ONE 1
#define TWO 2
...
#define ONE_HUNDRED 100

As a joke I put this in the title block

// MISRAble.h
// (c) copyright blah blah blah

Which of course their eagle eyes caught that, and so the comment itself got flagged by the customer as an open issue. Guess I deserved that one. Funny thing was that they had to track the issue, meeting by meeting, until it was closed out. I think the action item was something like "Remove inappropriate comment from MISRA.h" lol.

As someone else pointed out here... LINT was the bomb. Made code so much better. Especially when you could do stuff like this

switch (something)
case A
...
// yes I know I'm falling through to case B
//lint -fallthrough
case B:
...

Once you got in the habit of appeasing LINT, your code was not only more readable but more explicit.

Good times.

Try out Silverblue. It's immutable Fedora. The one thing I didn't like about mutable Fedora is that update reboot was extremely slow, like 2-5min. Silverblue fixes that one gripe: the update reboot is no different to a regular boot. 90% of the work is done in CI, 10% is done prior to rebooting, and 0% happens during boot.

I went back to NixOS, but Silverblue was an incredibly close second.
