> What's wild to me is the assumption that Iran would suddenly launch a single F-14 fighter to attack a ship.

What is sudden about that? "Two months before the incident, the U.S. had engaged in Operation Praying Mantis, resulting in the sinkings of the Iranian frigate Sahand, the Iranian fast attack craft Joshan, and three Iranian speedboats. Also, the Iranian frigate Sabalan was crippled, two Iranian platforms were destroyed, and an Iranian fighter was damaged. A total of at least 56 Iranian crew were killed"

And on the very day their helicopter received small arm fire from an Iranian patrol vessel, which they were pursuing when the shoot-down happened.

In this situation the idea that Iran would launch a fighter against them is not that wild.

That's not rhetoric. There's ample evidence linking poverty and inequality with crime.

The reasons are complex, but it's not hard to suspect that crime is the most accessible and rewarding career choice when other options aren't available.

Crime is risky, but the rewards are immediate and obvious. Businesses and self-employment are riskier financially and less risky personally, but the rewards are more distant.

Entrepreneurial mentoring schemes - for example - will always struggle to fix problems that are rooted in aggressive economic apartheid.

GDP with PPP compensated is on par or better in NW Europe and for all of the EU it's about 70% of the USA (which has about 100m more people than the USA). You'd expect it to be a lot closer.

I think if asked it's fine to probe how much disagreement your boss has the stomach for. Sometimes you're being brought on because they know they need to fix things. But, yeah, don't start to rip apart technical decisions they appear wedded to from the first moment. Not least because a lot of the time as you say 'technically sound' decisions aren't everything.

A whole lot of technical decisions we - me included - have very strong opinions about don't really have that much of a measurable effect on technical outcomes.

I once, many years ago, had a conflict with someone reporting to me because I refused to entertain rewriting our entire frontend in Rails. This was just after Rails was released, and we had a lot of PHP code. We had PHP code because PHP frontend devs were "cheap" and plentiful, not because any of us liked PHP.

I agreed with him about the preference for Ruby, and we used Ruby for other things (ironically all our Ruby use was on the backend), but he kept pushing on the basis of no insight into the relative market conditions for hiring at that time and on the basis of making assumptions about how "trivial" a rewrite was because he had no insight into why our then-current frontend had all of the capabilities it had which he'd chosen to ignore because he didn't know the roadmap.

He went to my boss - the CEO and co-founder - and tried to get me fired. The CEO went to me and asked if I wanted to fire him instead. I didn't, but I did have a rather serious chat with said developer about our respective roles, and how it was about more than technical preferences, and how he might get a lot further if he actually tried to work more constructively with me instead of thinking he had the clout to get me fired.

Said CEO hired me to run a development department again in my previous job, while he to my knowledge has never again worked with that developer - looking like a troublemaker to the wrong person can have long term effects.
There is a good contingent of people where the long-term ideal is for the chunks of government they don't like to fail so they can be removed or cut way down.

Older editions might actually fetch good prices. That's because newer editions aren't just new material plus minor edits and corrections. They also drop old material.

For example if you are interested in large integer arithmetic the 2nd edition of Volume 2 has some exercises that develop some methods that, if I recall correctly, I found more suited to my needs than the methods in the text when I was working on a large integer library.

The 3rd edition dropped those. I've long forgotten most of what I learned when working on my large integer library, but if I had to learn that subject again I'd probably actually start with the 2nd edition, and then check the 3rd edition to add to that.

There a tribe in Ecuador with reduced height studied by Walter Longo etc. They have a mutation in their growth hormone receptor, that means that they experience less effect of human growth hormone, hence reduced height. And their lifestyle is rather unhealthy: alcohol, smoking, sugars, junk food, obesity etc. Yet they rarely experience diabetes, cancer etc probably due to reduced mTOR pathway activation.

In the context of this specific post regarding Charlie Munger, you can't say that it's genetics unless you measure specific genes.

Quite the contrary, just as for many products already it was better to search stackoverflow than the technical documentation, already last year one of the (few) use cases where I found ChatGPT really useful was asking for examples for various basic things that kind of are decribed in the technical documentation (and also on stackoverlow, and on a bajillion blogs) but the usability of that documentation (and intentional choices of its design, what to include and what not) sucks so much that it's far, far more effective to just ask a chatbot than read the original docs.
Comments here seem to suggest that Nextcloud isn't worth it.

> book descriptions have become so bland and tropey that they tell us nothing about a title’s style or contents. Words like “dazzling,” “brilliant,” and “amazing” have become so ubiquitous as to lose all meaning.

There's a reason why tools like GPT seem so good when writing marketing, advertising and business copy in general. The problem is that this type of content has been for a long time completely devoid of... content. Most of this kind of text is formulaic, pompous and yet utterly devoid of deep meaning. It is as low-entropy as you can get. So, no wonder that a stochastic machine can produce this kind of text in a so believable manner.

Yeah if you are recording, the new ones have a bright light (possibly flashing I'm not sure) on. Which makes sense really.

They offer better protection against "unsuspecting picture taking" than normal phones, as the light is vaguely tamper proof. I'm not sure they record if you take them off either.

Somewhere I likely came across the idea that I was responsible for myself. I'm not sure if that was something my dad said in passing, or in a book I read, or a show on TV. I probably did not have the genesis of that idea in a vacuum. Given the environment I was in and the people that surrounded me, I could see that they blamed the world for their problems and it didn't appear to be working out for them. I grew up with no role models on how I should live - instead, I saw many examples of things I did not want to emulate. One of those things was a victim-mentality.

What you're writing is probably true but kind of irrelevant. They set whatever price they want and if you don't like it, don't use it.

Personally, I block all the ads and tracking, use a specific browser for whenever I browse facebook under a fake account so paying $10 a month is not worth it to me.

I maybe would pay if it was like $2 but at the same time I don't really use Meta products to actually pay for it. I agree that the price is ridiculously high but at the same time I can't blame them. At least they finally give users a choice, something I never thought would happen.
There's solid SFTP clients for every OS (even Android!) and all it requires on the server is the already installed OpenSSH, so I never really saw the need to look into webDAV.
> Where should you put them?

This is probably the crux of the issue. Environment variables are available on most systems where you might want to run software, containers included. For lots of configuration, they seemed to make sense: https://12factor.net/config

Of course, most container solutions (Docker, Kubernetes, Nomad) nowadays include solutions for managing secrets better, as do most cloud platforms, but they're not exactly as standardized or simple as environment variables are, maybe like a file mounted inside of the container that the app can read, at best.

That said, I'm not excusing the fact that the vulnerability is caused by a package that lets you run phpinfo, since that does leak a lot of information - it's more like you need to be careful every step of the way, both with how you store and access your secrets, as well what you include with your code.
I am not much into self hosting other than a barebone setup that takes care of my linux ISOs on a VPS, but you might want to check Syncthing. Put it on a server and then connect it from other places. This software is a marvel at simplicity (except a bit of settings/config - I mean for heaven's sake that can definitely be improved :P; but once done it's rock solid - it just works and not like Apple where we pretend it just works, it really just works) and robustness. Also I never face speed problem or any hiccups pretty much. It puts Dropbox and GDrive etc to shame combined.

If I could find time to be better at self hosting and will be able to take care of a server's upkeep, security/OS/package patches/updates et cetera then if I have to setup two first tools on this it would be Syncthing and RClone.

On the other hand for my current needs I use filen.io (it's on BF sale right now). It's not the best but works fine for my use - like a remote hard disk acting like backup (its "local backup" sync mode).
In the libertarian ideal, a clean ecosystem should be monetized to incentivize the production of value by those who think they need a clean ecosystem. In theory, we would all be richer for it.

It is a hang-up based on the Protestant Work Ethic.

> Calvin taught that all men must work, even the rich, because to work was the will of God. It was the duty of men to serve as God's instruments here on earth, to reshape the world in the fashion of the Kingdom of God, and to become a part of the continuing process of His creation (Braude, 1975). Men were not to lust after wealth, possessions, or easy living, but were to reinvest the profits of their labor into financing further ventures. Earnings were thus to be reinvested over and over again, ad infinitum, or to the end of time (Lipset, 1990). Using profits to help others rise from a lessor level of subsistence violated God's will since persons could only demonstrate that they were among the Elect through their own labor (Lipset, 1990).

> Selection of an occupation and pursuing it to achieve the greatest profit possible was considered by Calvinists to be a religious duty. Not only condoning, but encouraging the pursuit of unlimited profit was a radical departure from the Christian beliefs of the middle ages. In addition, unlike Luther, Calvin considered it appropriate to seek an occupation which would provide the greatest earnings possible. If that meant abandoning the family trade or profession, the change was not only allowed, but it was considered to be one's religious duty (Tilgher, 1930).

My point was that labradors are ridiculously popular, you are not going to stop people getting them because they don't have retrieval work for them to do. And that's mostly fine, a lab that gets a 30-40m walk (especially off-lead) every day and isn't over-fed is fine IMO. I just think 'working dog' is ill-defined (most breeds are technically, so colloquially it generally means a dog that you use for work, which makes the advice tautological) and so it's not really helpful advice.
