Isn't that the idea behind a nation or any other governance structure? The wealth built within the entity can be transferred infinitely and unrestricted between generations?

What's the difference if the structure is a government, religion, guild, corporation, cartel, mafia, family or Mars colony?
In this case, though, it's not even producing shorter code. It's producing longer, less readable code.
Any comments from folks who actually kinda like Drupal? I can cop to it almost driving me to tears until I got over the quite considerable learning curve, and once past that I could most any CRUD app with minimal, if any, new code. Once I got over that hump it was actually quite amazing for prototyping CRUD apps or selling small apps to clients that they never would have otherwise ordered given the cost and time of rolling your own.
I especially like the goat-head style.

> Every dollar in a billionaire's bank account is a dollar that could be in someone else's instead.

This is not an example. Today the government can print more dollars out of thin air. So no, dollars is not zero-sum.

Even then, dollars is only an approximation of value, the thing that really matters. And value is also not zero-sum because of technological innovation and the existence of waste. If we are smarter about how apply our resources, literally more people can have more, and no one has to lose. (One example is people in the US simultaneously being food insecure while the nation also has tremendous food waste).
What is the point for South Dakota if they don't collect taxes? Just being conservative assholes against the other states? Being ideological jerks?

Overwhelmingly, violent revolution doesn't actually bring about the goals of the revolution. It just installs a new power structure with variations on all the old problems. Sometimes much worse.

So it isn't really a "last resort". It's more of a "well you didn't compromise, so now our choice is to burn the whole system down"
You seem to me to be arguing against points no one is making. You're taking the word "trend" and extrapolating it to "fad" and "insidious activity" - both of which have very different meanings and connotations to the phrase "Twitter trend".

The original comment you replied to made the point that they don't want their own personal expression curtailed or modified according to someone else's opinion of acceptable speech.

Great work and cool-looking animation. Is there a way to extend the duration from 0 to current stars?
This project is really cool and I like the stated philosophy on the README. I think it's making the right trade-off in terms of setting useful defaults and not showing you 100 arcane settings. However, the installation is too hard. It's a student project and free so I'm not criticizing the author at all but I think it's a pretty fair and useful criticism of the software and likely a significant bottleneck to adoption.
During the initial cybertruck announcement, Musk said this is their first vehicle they were designing to only be exclusively sold in the U.S., specifically because they could create a crazier design by only having to conform to one set of regulatory constraints.
An important aspect of markdown is hand authorship.

Markdown Annotations are certainly interesting and I understand where the hash idea came from, but this requirement adds friction to hand authorship, and requires new custom parsing logic for markdown renderers.

I would argue it should instead be:

- file.md

- .file.md.owners

Where the owners file is generated / readable by a program supporting this behavior, along with a reference to the original file and its hash.

This provides the same information and capabilities, while decoupling it from the source. It also means you can retroactively generate ownership without modifying original work.

In reference to: https://github.com/iainc/Markdown-Annotations#hash-annotatio...

The Iranian government is about as Islamic as the Chinese government is Communist.

Both countries simply have a ruling class that is using an ideology to wield control.
Socialist is really not the word I would use. "Less egalitarian", "more classist" are better descriptors. Access to capital is more restricted in countries like Germany compared to the US.
This is both due to more conservative financial regulations, but also because the wealthy classes who own the capital are more of an insular group who are less keen to invest in members who are not already part of the club.
Then encapsulate them when you do. In this case these methods are private. They're almost certainly not used anywhere else.

The amount of code I see where people preemptively extract methods and even add methods they don't use to prepare for a hypothetical future situation that never comes is staggering.
Low-cost defensive deployables like Roadrunner and the related subset of military industrial complex pork are what is needed to enable that future of smaller countries seeing to their own defense.

What area are you talking about that people don't build where it floods? It certainly isn't Europe (Netherlands, Rhine valley, Venice), it isn't the middle east, it isn't Africa (Niger River, Nile), it isn't South America, it isn't SE Asia, it isn't E Asia, it isn't central Asia, it isn't Australia, etc.

I can't think of a single area that completely avoids building in potential flood zones, I can only think of governments that spend a lot of effort managing water so floods happen less frequently than they naturally would.
Ah, didn't know about it, but that's exactly my thought.

There's 0% chance this is what happened. Hotels can get in touch with booking easily by phone or e-mail to fix any login issues, or to delist from booking if they don't want to be partners. Also, why would they have to log in? Booking.com sends their invoices by e-mail as well.

This case was commission fraud by the hotel against booking.com
1. The author links to this file as an example: https://github.com/Semantic-Org/Semantic-UI/blob/49b9cbf47c1... . How would you structure it better than it currently is without using sections?

2. So you have a class that has a bunch of getters and setters. Let's just assume that "generate them automatically" is not an option. You want to make it really easy to see the part of the class which is getters, and the part of the class which is setters, and then skim past that. How do you do it?

3. So you have a file that defines 3 data structures. Each data structure has a definition, a bunch of functions for parsing it, and a bunch of functions for serializing it. The author suggests that you split the file into 3 sections for the types, with subsections each for the definition, parsing, and serializing. How would you do it? Let's say the language is Rust or Typescript.

> This truth is almost never communicated though. Why? Because then wearing a mask becomes a "mark of illness" and nobody wants to label themselves as sick or potentially sick. So the solution to this is everyone wears a mask all the time. But you cannot communicate this whole scenario either because most people aren't smart enough to grasp it or not smart enough to understand why they need to wear a mask healthy or sick.

I can't help but think this attitude is awful. Most people are too dumb to understand that it is the sick people who should wear masks!? Like what in the world!?

No. You shoot straight with the public. Then you plead with them to do what is best for everyone by wearing a mask when they are sick.

The alternative, as you suggested, is extremely damaging to society longterm.

>We do not want government-subsidized health insurance.

The Novopen 6 is $50 in Europe BECAUSE OF GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES.

There isn't some grand free market of rationally-acting rational actors peddling cheap drugs in Europe. The governments over there subsidize things. Implement strict price controls.

When the Novopen 6 is eventually introduced in the US it will cost hundreds and hundreds of dollars because Novo Nordisk can charge what they want-- not because "duh gubmint" is interfering with them.
Let us at least be truthful in our tactless descriptions of history: he killed himself to avoid spending 6 months in low security prison.
I think it's more useful to think of "a huge war" as the effect of the cause of allowing nonsensical wealth concentration via allowing the individual wealth concentrators to use the media, the banks, and governments (the nation's militaries) to enforce hegemony at home and abroad through debt and the use of violence to collect. International trade (as it did in the early 20th century global wars) becomes a vice, as indebted nations are divided between the wealthy that seek to preserve the value of their currency by bone-grinding the locals, fascist forces that seek to become the next bone-grinders, and socialists and idealists whom would rather at the end of the day see debt restructured around social welfare. We've consistently only chosen the first two options throughout all human history.
In the US about 60% of people do not own land without debt. And the majority also struggle to pay for healthcare and education without incurring debt. Only around 25% of Americans are debt free. Various surveys show between 15-30% of Americans think they could cover 6 months of expenses with their assets.
> Personal accountability is critical even if sometimes it’s hard to swallow.

Full agreement.

My point was more that not only is personal accountability important, but in a healty organization we should also be accountable for each other. The IT guy's attitude is off, and there are several things he could do in the future to make that better. I've accidentially plugged a phone line into an RJ-45 port - it's super easy to do (or at least was). In the future, a piece of tape over that port would help a lot. Want to provide support for that - put your phone number on a note on the laptop and ask him to call if he needs help. That's what being accountable for each other looks like.

And likewise, if I were the associated director's manager, I'd tell him to drop the adversarial power play with IT and treat them with the respect of people that can help you get your job done, instead of treating them like dispensable slaves. And to take responsibility for his stuff, with or without their help.

It's a very common trend for consumer-facing GUI's to have optimistic rendering, and if you're doing that then you're juggling client/server state. I still see spinning loaders here and then but they're generally for initial content load; e.g., does Gmail make you wait when you archive an email?

> How did you get a position without a postdoc?

I am a postdoc, just have been for quite a while (on four different grants at least). In Finnish academia it's not that uncommon to stay a postdoc even until retirement.

> That’s not true. If you make the hiring cut in you’re in for about 5 years of grunt work as an assistant prof.

For teaching and admin yes. But at least in fields I know, what research you do or whether you do at all is all up to you. Of course the risk is that you'll be unemployed after the assistant prof. term ends. My point is that if you don't care about that, you're quite free to do whatever research-wise.
I think it basically synonymous the notion that people are unhappy with their jobs.

However, I don't think it says anything definitive about if the job sucks or not- There are far too many other factors. It says a lot more about life choices , priorities, and compromise.

Don't get me wrong, some jobs suck, but a lot of people also work great jobs they personally hate. For example, some people hate programing, corporate environments, and living in the bay area but do it for the $$$. That doesnt mean the job sucks, just that they have traded money for work they don't like. No amounts of employee perks is going to turn a programing job into being an artist, or whatever, if that is what someone actually enjoys.
"as strong people take a stand"
Reads like an ESG-esque word salad. Not a fan.
Motivations matter for those who want to understand how to address it.
I'm making the point that the way legislation etc is drafted, the clauses that are allowed - the whole captured system really, that allows the very rich to be able to increase their wealth through inheritance, is problematic if it is seen to be unfair. People will get angry, as inflation, carbon taxes, etc start to bite. The billionaires will feel some heat.

In order to manage that tension, you need certain people who appear to be against you, but are actually in your pocket. Picketty is surely one of those. He will say contentious things, that appear to be critical of billionaires, but his real job is to help manage popular discontent, by sucking up the air from others whose response that would be more problematic to those billionaires.
>I'm in favor of inheritance taxes. But this doesn't seem like the main driver of inequality....

I mean, Piketty's work shows that it is...

I'd like to see a scandi style tax system and social safety net. Inheritance taxes at the point where 90% of small business and farms won't be affected. Progressive carbon taxes. Massively increased social safety net that includes paid education, healthcare, and unemployment generous enough that one won't be destitute if they try to start their own business and fail (look at the rate of small business formation in the scandi countries!)

There's a common refrain in conservative circles that they're more in favor of 'equality of opportunity over outcome'. Right now we clearly have neither.
Good choice, for several reasons.
Not the parent, but I'm also frequently saddened by loss of wildlife and my "point" is definitely not that it would be better if humans never proliferated in the first place. I'm almost certain you can understand this sentiment. Most people have had to leave a home, break up with a significant other, change careers, in such a way that it ultimately worked out for the better and it was necessary to achieve some goal, but the loss at the time still brings about grief.

I'm not going to say this is an exactly analogous situation. One, I don't know that is really is necessary to human civilization thriving that we have to rapidly and recklessly destroy natural habitats the world over to make way for farms or just plunder crops, pelts, and whale oil and what not for a few decades to make a single generation rich until it's all gone. There is very likely a more sustainable way to do it that isn't as disruptive to the pre-existing ecosystems and still allows us to feed and house a large number of people. This isn't purely a matter of hey, they needed to go to make way for us. Think of blue whales or bison in North America. Populations absolutely decimated, damn near reduced to nothing until legislation and interional treaties finally agreed to protect them. But all that ocean and all that grassland is still there. We didn't displace them to use it for something else. We just killed them damn near for nothing, because blubber and fur could be traded for a lot of money for a few decades.

Second, it remains to be seen whether this is really for the better even for humans. All of this "success" you're talking about is the population exploding over the course of the last 500 years. The reasons for this are largely positive reasons. Indoor plumbing, germ theory of disease, global transportation networks, figuring out how to rapidly move food and water, not only for ourselves but for crops. Drastically increased land yield. All great stuff. But we're talking about a few centuries of success here. Sharks have been apex predators for 200 million years. Whether humanity is truly going to thrive over the long run or be a flash in the pan that disappears and leaves a mass extinction in its wake is yet to be determined.

But still, even if it ends up ultimately turning out for the best, it is still perfectly possible and reasonable to feel grief about the loss virtually all other large animals with rich inner lives and social relations have had to endure while it happened. Have you ever read about or watched many US Civil War material? I don't know that it's totally unique or even atypical for wars, but it's always poignant to me in the way that the two sides largely didn't hate each other. Many of the victors took little joy in the victory. The land they plundered and people they killed were their own country and their own countrymen. I can't say it was a bad thing as it ultimately ended one of the most evil things humans have ever done to other humans, but it was still a sad thing.
I don't find that to be clickbait at all. It wasn't just any one year in the past nine, it was the most recent.

Heck, the title could have been "For the first time in recent history, billionaires amass more through inheritance than wealth creation." That would perhaps have been more accurate, but that's also a "stronger draw" in my opinion than the actual title. It doesn't make sense to call something "clickbait" that is less intended to incite than a more detailed headline.

These are the properties of our universe, and of course we'll only ever have one to study. But words change, right? Atoms are no longer indivisible. Black holes are no longer fully black. So I'm really going for the properties that a thing must have in order to be considered a universe, so we don't end up with a change that's obnoxious. I'd hate it if "universe" eventually just meant "any old really big astronomical structure".

Perhaps the laws of physics would allow for different kinds, they just aren't ours (Lee Smolin's "Life of the Cosmos" is a fun exploration of this, recommended).

Overall I like your descriptions, but I'm going to have to do some thinking about the direction of a gravitational depression being one that points towards the past. I'm under the impression that many cosmologists reject the idea that something warped must be warped into some other dimension. The warping, I've read, can be intrinsic: Imagine a colored lens which is unevenly saturated with dye.

Yep. 50% or more of the grant funding goes to "overhead" which is a huge income stream to the university.
So the fighters in Syria are more discriminatory when they kill than the IDF.

It’s a well known fact that Israel is limiting information coming out from Gaza. If all the reports about their indiscriminate killings were false, wouldn’t it be in their interest if more independent reporters were there, not fewer?

You have already made up your mind, and no evidence will ever make you change your mind. You are trying to explain away all the evidence, and when you can’t, you’ll just say it is lies created by Hamas.
