Most? I can't think of a gig beyond maybe a couple of folks in a coworking space where I wouldn't be laughed out of the room with "just make it 150% of salary and we'll figure out the real number whenever". Virtually every company I've ever worked with budget the actual number, because they know how much the overhead cost is. There's a huge difference between "a number I use when asked 'ballpark how much a new hire is gonna run us'" and "what is the amount of money I'm asking the CEO to allocate me in next years budget".

I don't know what you mean by high energy? I consider my energy level adequate.

There are no secrets, it's just how I run. I only eat "OK", certainly not great. I drink a pot or more of coffee per day, but only water other than that. I don't drink a lot, or do any drugs, not sure if that helps.

I wake up, I get kids ready, start my workday, take them to the bus, continue my work day, pick the kids up, and then I go wherever the night takes me. Sometimes I need to finish my day, my wife and I are going to need to feed kids, wash kids, get their homework going, get them somewhere, etc.

That's probably 7AM-7PM, sometimes closer to 9PM. Most days I'm ready to go until about midnight or so, at a fairly steady, sometimes brisk, pace.

Where are you getting this information? Looking at the CCS guidelines, for example, one sees that the authors are MDs or PhDs at medical schools.

Not a single one of the bodies I cited is a government entity. What are you even talking about?
I think that this is really confusing because IOSHA should only have authority over state and local government, not private workplaces.

Fire is for cause and that means they will tell others when asked. This also means more paperwork to prove you are bad. That is they want someone doing the job you are supposed to do,but for whatever reason not you.

Laid off just means they don't need the job done anymore, and has nothing to do with how good or bad you are.
No, it also means that if you cut costs in those three critical categories, you'll have a better life than people used to have before.

Lots of us were able to cut costs in housing. And many of us were able to cut costs in healthcare through preventative care. Tuition is entirely optional.

If you've got a mandatory need for a big house, have some pre-existing condition to maintain, and want to get a Harvard Divinity School degree then yeah, life's going to be much much worse.

> The “performative” is why doesn’t Tesla just sign a union agreement

Because very few (none?) employees working for Tesla are actually on strike. There are a lot of postal employees, dockworkers, etc on strike, but not many from Tesla.

It appears that the IF Metall wants Tesla to sign a collective agreement, but neither Tesla nor most (all?) of Tesla's employees want that. As far as I can ascertain, the union's only grievance against Tesla is that they do not have a collective bargaining agreement (not pay, not conditions).

IF Metall has gotten so little traction that they are offering even non-member Tesla employees 130% of normal pay to go on strike, and also publicly talking about sanctions against member employees who continue to show up to work.

My dad (high school diploma) blundered through his 20s with a series of gigs and barely-paying-the-bills solo businesses, had an expensive divorce (kids in the mix, too), a kid out of wedlock, then finally got his career going as he approached 35. Worked for a railroad. Started at the bottom, worked his way to upper-middle-management before the railroad sold, MBAs took over from career railroad guys in upper management, and they ruined his work-life with constant pointless meetings and having to put up with idiots who didn’t know how anything worked calling the shots, before ultimately “encouraging” him and a bunch of the other expensive career guys into somewhat-early retirement. FFS, he was literally raised in a barn—and not a nice one, and not one attached to hundreds of acres of valuable paid-off farmland or anything like that—they were a kind of poor that barely exists outside the homeless, these days.

My mom was about 30 when they got married. Junior college stenography degree. Never worked for pay again after getting married. Dad was a railroad man (working class, nothing fancy) and mom a homemaker.

They followed a playbook that’d spell doom today, but rode rising real estate prices and real honest-to-god pensions to a couple million dollars invested plus social security. We did a couple weeks of driving or (sometimes) air travel vacation every year. All the usual American Dream stuff.

Shit was simply different for the Boomers. Almost every plausible life-path got downgraded a couple notches since then, in terms of quality of life and retirement outcomes. Except now everyone gets a shiny gee-whiz slate in their pocket. Hooray.

This is sorta the logic behind time outs, which literally are supposed to be "time. out." Remove them from the setting where they're misbehaving, into an area where they can have big feelings safely but aren't exposed to stimuli which might intensify the tantrum. Eventually the feeling goes away because there's nothing to feed it.

Littering is actually a terrible analogy. First of all, a place becomes littered, everyone there is affected. Piracy only hypothetically harms a select few who probably make more money you can imagine.

Furthermore, in a world where everyone pirates, everyone is still free to give money. You can pirate and buy a steam game or a bandcamp album. They're not mutually exclusive. Here the littering analogy breaks down again.

I don't believe "everyone should pirate", I think the model of ownership as archaic, it is trying to uphold an old model of material goods, through power alone, into a technological model.

If I make a ceramic cup, and you steal it, I don't have it anymore. I can't drink my tea or look at it and smile.

If you made an exact replica of it, if I find out and I'm petty maybe I'll be mad, or maybe I'll fantasize about how you were maybe gonna buy it from me, but I sure can't complain that you took my cup away from me.

Being able to reproduce media at virtually no cost is a new concept. As such, it deserves new mindsets, not old models based around material goods.

I believe this exposes that the new model should be one of higher trust, where customers use their money as reward, not to obtain.

In regards to b) I think it's pretty simple. A steam game currently could take 20% or 2% of minimum wage based solely on where you live. There's emulated games too, what benefit, what real consequence is carried upstream to anyone that deserves it, when I take my time to find a used copy of an old game, buy a used CD reader, and rip the game legally, as opposed to two clicks from a torrent site. Show me the real harm, where in that chain is anything of consequence being done? Is it just about performing the dance that the authorities tell you to do?
They already do. :)

Just to be clear, and to reinforce what I mentioned.

WASI Preview 2 doesn't officially support threads. There are some ways to get it running as you mentioned, but threads are NOT part of WASI Preview 2. Which is what you initially stated and I corrected.

We don't want to have competing standards either, and we'd love to merge things upstream. However, based on my interactions with the WASI subgroup it seems clear they want to keep some of this things that WASIX needs out of the spec (and that's ok!). If you would not like to have that, then you shall probably direct your requests towards them, not us.

It is not just vending machines. I have had the new 500-yen coins rejected on buses, in food stores, etc. It will happen gradually, but I think it is the first time in my 15 years of experiencing Japan that there has been any change to a coin so I expect it to take at least another year.
This is a really good explanation for a fully connected network. Most models will have more complex architectures so are even more complicated than this.
There’s also upcoming changes to paper bills too, vending machine operators might be waiting to do both at the same time.

It has been alleged that Shein uses forced labor to make its products (https://www.cnbc.com/2023/05/01/shein-china-congress-forced-...).

> You can either meticulously plan your factory so that every worker always has something productive to do and pay for expensive safety equipment that also slows down the machines, OR you can just pack your factory with enough workers and make them work overtime

A true capitalist probably wouldn't pick either side of this false dichotomy. There's a balance to things because they are forced to live in the real world. And there's no such thing in the world as making everything perfectly safe (not just in a factory setting, but everywhere in life).

Here's the comment I responded to: "If you only fine for failure to abate, then there's no reason to be proactive about safety."

For all three, it's a problem of demand exceeding supply, because supply is artificially constrained (and inefficiently allocated).

1. Housing. Increase supply of affordable housing. Which means upzoning existing land for denser redevelopment. Which means more public transit. (And outlaw the realtor / commission system for transactions)

2. Health care. Increase supply of GPs and allow mid-level providers more independence (within bounds) to take less complex work off their plates. (There's also the inefficiencies created by the ridiculous number of middle layers. To which, single payer)

3. Tuition. Make highly-automated online degrees the new base normal to increase scalability of the system. (And use the stick of government tuition assistance to bludgeon any university that disagrees or exceeds set administration cost caps)
The shoe stores that put Al out of business --- Al was an employee, not an owner, but whatever --- achieved market dominance long before anybody who wrote Python could expect $400k/yr. It's a funny dunk, but as a schematic description of what actually happened, it's not at all valid.
An LLM could at least create a greater variety of dialog, quickly translate, text-to-speech, decorate a base sprite to the style of a specific country with a specific player color. The final build wouldn't benefit much by including an LLM. The LLM would be huge and the existing diplomacy algorithms are not complicated or open-ended enough to need any kind of ML.

> I don't think you or anyone possesses the omniscience to declare that entropy was increased.

It's the second law of thermodynamics. It's why heat only flows into objects colder than the source (in an isolated system). You can argue against it, but I'd be curious what your alternative is for why heat only moves one direction.

It's also what makes perpetual motion machines impossible. Otherwise you'd be able to do nutty things like reversing the flow of heat to expand/contract gases in a chamber, driving a shaft into a generator which would create energy (i.e. expand the total amount of energy in the universe).

> then we're getting into defining order and disorder and that's outside the scope of what I want to discuss on an internet forum.

I think you may be misunderstanding "disorder" in the context of entropy. It's disorder at the chemical level. Energy is stored in bonds in molecules. When those bonds are broken or formed, some amount of the energy stored in those bonds is released as heat. The universe has a constant amount of energy (it can be neither created nor destroyed), this means that heat used to be stored energy. Given that heat can only go from an atom/particle to a colder particle, at some point this means all (or nearly all) energy will eventually be converted to heat. If all the energy is heat, that means particles aren't bound together into molecules, and the universe is disordered at a chemical level.

It has a pretty specific meaning in this exact context.

> OP's asserting that all that "energy" was somehow wasted, but they don't take into account the place those species occupied within ecosystems.

This would be entropy: the amount of energy that was irreversibly converted to heat by those organisms metabolism, and growth, and the same for the things they ate. It's not wasted in the sense that it vanished, but in the sense that we'll never be able to convert some of that heat back into useful energy. At some point the universe will become particle soup, and them existing moved the universe an infinitesimally small amount closer to that soup.

Interesting claim.
A crimped and soldered connection is weaker than a properly-crimped cold-welded connection.

Solder will fill any voids in your contact, causing the bond to break as your entire assembly heats and cools.

Solder will also wick up the strands, making the resultant wire brittle.

Moisture ingress can be solved with the correct wrapping. After all, the extruded PVC insulation on the wire in the first place shrunk to fit it, right?

Yes, Lamarck is alive and well. I frequently hear colleagues in biology with years of experience making lazy statements such as, "Humans evolved to walk because..." as if evolution is a conscious act. In many cases, these people are using the term evolution as shorthand for, "Random mutations gave rise to new gene variants (alleles), and over numerous generations, natural selection leads to an increase in the prevalence of beneficial variants, specifically those that provide a reproductive advantage. The genetic variants that combined to enable bipedal locomotion provided such an advantage to the human population". Evolution is a passive, natural process driven by genetic variation, environmental changes, and the differential reproductive success of individuals with advantageous traits. This in turn results in population changes. Evolution doesn't involve a conscious choice or direction. Evolution is the result of the cumulative effects of these factors over long periods of time.
Agreed on all fronts. Those Tokyo lines are insane at rush hour, and almost dead silent at every other time; it's kind of the nature of homogenous commute types, it's just hella more efficient to do it with trains than anything else we have. Thankfully, the new subway extension should help distribute people a little more evenly, and I believe TransLink is looking start running longer trains, which should provide a little more capacity at peak times.
Overzealous or prudent?

Germany has a healthy debt to GDP ratio for its demographics.

Germany is an example for the EU, by running a deficit it would give a bad example to already struggling countries such as Italy.

> This can lead to many erroneous conclusions, the same way you might get misleading studies on beaver behavior if you studied a bunch of beavers living in a rabbit hutch.

There is a very nice paralel to this. There was a study which suggested that the temperature of lab mice housing (which is roughly room temp) is too cold for mice. If they could they would turn the thermostate up. So they are in a constant state of low-key hypothermia, which might affect all kind of immunology and stress experiments.

Cold animals is the most obvious paralel in these two stories, but if we squint at it we can see that the paralel is that something which is done for the experimenter’s convenience might have unexpected distorting effect on results.
