This is the conclusion of Thomas Picketty's 2013 book, "Capital in the 21st Century." Due to the historical averages of the rate of return on capital, he concluded empirically that wealth will continue to concentrate to the point to inheritors, to the extent that individuals become increasingly unable through labor to achieve parity to the inheritors.

The book was very provocative in economist circles, but even the critics mostly lauded the empirical work at collecting historical data.

In any case, it was widely believed in the investor community that the Mexico plant was where the next-gen vehicle would be produced. I don't think California was ever really considered.

It was a very early instance of "WebCMS with a package manager / plugin architecture that's usable by Normal People".

Then, of course, once adopted - like most CMS - it's very hard to migrate out, and it snowballs.

People largely went for Drupal over WP or Plone or Django because they had zero leverage about 1) what comes in to the content system, 2) how they can build a content system, and 3) what comes out of the system. Also, in the aughts, don't forget that WP was extremely primitive compared to today. Lots of enterprise leadership said, "oh, you can't have Python, that's for engineers" combined with "you have to read and write all articles to this arcane XML schema only parseable to five academics in France". Thus the Drupal extensions ecosystem ended up with a TON of low level plugins . . like Drush, which probably shouldn't have existed.

EDIT My God, Drush is still around.

if anyone in these comments is hiring or knows a remote job opportunity with very little coding experience, I would be very thankful. I'm driven... but I think it will take ~6ish months to get good at coding and having -any- job in the meantime would very helpful. I delivered furniture prior to this, so any leads would be helpful.
Yes, there are many such cases.

Many billionaires out there that people do not know are billionaires. Not all wealth accumulated has been broadcasted out in the public for everyone to know, only the broadcasted has been broadcasted.
Sure. It's even worse for that. Cars save even more time for errands, because transit is typically optimized for hub-to-spokes transportation to downtowns.

It is especially true for startups to be open minded and flexible. If engineers aren’t having those kinds of conversations, perhaps they do not feel comfortable being open and honest.

If we create an environment where engineers feel comfortable enough that body language isn’t required as the sole feedback indicator in this scenario, perhaps the entire workplace would benefit.
Feds don't prosecute the stuff their own tribe is involved in. Once retired, federal bureaucrats become honorary professors, chairs, fellows at 'X school of international studies/government', 'Y school of comparative law', 'Z school of efficient administration'. All such schools are hotbeds for govt spies, other folks. Where and how do these schools get money from? They use the same techniques that this neuroscientist uses. Once they open a front, charging academic fraud in the name of wire fraud charge, etc, if they succeed in doing that, expect the next round to be after these sinecure schools and their fundings, when power structures change.
Portland Mayor pushes city employers to mandate return to in-office work
Just in case you guys thought RTO is about employee productivity.

It's always been about Commercial Real Estate Prices/City government want their property taxes/City+State gov want their income taxes back (ie no more WFM (working from Miami))

>>> “I again call on all other levels of government, all private sector employers, academic institutions, not-for-profits and community-based organizations to follow the city’s lead of at least 20 hours of in-person work per week.”
> Yet pay is the point of work, wouldn't you say?

It is one of the purposes of work, but not the only one (if the job is a good one, anyway). But that's orthogonal to the point. An income is necessary to live, but it isn't what brings happiness.

> I think you really have to cherry pick to beat tech.

I think it depends on what you value. I've had plenty of low-wage manual labor jobs, and a couple of those had far better working conditions than most of what I experienced as a developer.
I think generally the consensus of Apple Silicon is that they're great _for a laptop_, but still aren't going to beat a dedicated graphics card + high-end CPU like i9/Ryzen 9. Biggest thing going for apple is the performance/watt though which is critical for a laptop.
> Maduro (Venezuela) sees what Putin is doing, and how the West is maybe half supporting Ukraine, and sees an opportunity to do the same to their neighbor

I'm sorry, I'm completely lost on what exactly you think about the Russian adventure in Ukraine is worth emulating. It's been a disaster for Russia. Ukraine too, obviously, but no way would Putin do this again if he knew a two-year stalemate and global shaming of his vaunted army was going to be the result.
Had the same experience to a T. Left it with a sense of "never again"
I'm sure it would. Any mechanical gears will produce noise at higher velocities so curious what this sounds like myself. Electric hub motors produce a wine from the EMF that is audible but that's a different sound (the hum of a tesla going by) or a Surron that uses a radial flux motor with chain link gears (this is my favorite hobby design, chain gears are super useful).

I concur.

I’m a remote employee (no company office in my city)

I work remote 3 weeks and then 1-week travel to be in office.

It’s a great balance of the dynamic you described.
It doesn't have to be tons of open tabs; it can just as well be one tab that makes tons of accel draw contexts all on its own — maybe temporary hidden <canvas> draw contexts that it never cleans up. But a dev would usually end up hitting that kind of problem during development; whereas, if the problem never arises through "normal use" but instead requires having 100+ open tabs on the site to trigger, that bug might go unnoticed all throughout the QA process.

I can also extend my speculation about all the times I've personally seen "Error 5", although this is probably dipping into superstition territory: I think the per-toplevel-origin draw-context limit isn't static, but is influenced by the amount of VRAM available on the computer as a whole.

So on an extremely VRAM-constrained system like a Raspberry Pi (or on a system that's running Cyberpunk 2077 on one display and Chrome on another, sharing a GPU) the per-toplevel-origin limit on accel draw contexts might be dropped as low as, say, 5: an amount low enough that just having one extra .gif on the single tab of the site you have open might be enough to make the tab fall over.
Pardon the stupid question but since most experiments and observations are done on earth, how do scientists know that fundamental forces like electromagnetism and the strong force are not being influenced by gravity? What if chemical/atomic bonds and molecular structures don't form the same way or require more/less energy depending on gravitational influence?

As a layman, I would think that gravity pulls down sub-atomic particles, wouldn't that slow them down compared to say outside the heliosphere and oort cloud? Would electrons spin faster if they are located at an inter-galactic void?

More insane is the measurement of 'c', is all using electromagnetism, but if that in itself is being slowed down by gravity, well I can't even begin to comprehend the implications.
> "How much effort is required to keep the number of deaths low?"

The first answer to that is to not build a large chimney on the power plant and release all the waste by releasing it into the air. At that point we are now safer than all fossil fuel power plants and can impose a full ban on all use of fossil fuel plants in the power grid. Releasing toxic waste into the environment and into the air must be made illegal.

The second requirement is to do simple repairs and maintenance of buildings. Here we can look at hydro power and see how they often fail at preventing flooding. The effort must be high enough that it can handle bad weather. Anything less should be illegal and severely punished.

So the level of efforts need to be at least at that minimum. We could demand even more, but I am afraid a majority of people would object if we banned all fossil fuel, all hydro, and all nuclear from the grid.
Being worth 50 million puts you in the ultra high net worth category (>30M$) and you live an incredible lifestyle obviously.

But your entire net worth is 5% yearly interest on a billion dollars.

It's hard to imagine for regular people just how far a billion dollars is, you're essentially royalty at that point as far access to anything in life is concerned.

Functionally it means we can trace a single photon back to the source which emanated it, lensed or unlensed. That said, if quantum effects are not bound by time or space technically the photon ALWAYS came from an individual source and our clarifying which one it came from just collapses the wave from superposition of where the photon could go to where it did go.

As I understand the double slit experiment, this is a fundamental property of light as a photon exhibits wave-particle duality. If so, retrocausality in this case would just mean the fundamental wave function can be collapsed into actuality without time or space being involved.

Am I far off base?
> To expect a national-level organization to essentially take over the duties of peer-review journals is a very big ask

Fair, but what is the alternative that would actually work? What is the budget of all of the journals compared to the NSF+NIH? Is medical research that is true, and certainly actionable worth as much as an F whatever fighter jet? People will have to decide.
One lecture from 2004 discusses the buffered clock tree in the Alpha 21064 (1992), while the 386 (1985) didn't use them, so that gives a time period.

As far as two phases, the lecture says that edge-triggered (rather than two-phase) is most popular (page 16). But I don't know about modern design.

FWIW the Zeiss relationship is perfectly symbiotic, in that there’s an exclusivity deal and neither company can do without the other. For all intents and purposes you can regard ASML and (the litho department of) Zeiss as a single company.

But the ASML machines are substantially more than just some purchased parts put together. There’s a lot of unique engineering in bits that you can’t easily point at as a “part”, such as the entire metrology software - that’s the bit that measures how badly positioned and how crooked the wafer is and adjusts the laser and all stage positioning etc accordingly. You can’t buy stuff like that off the shelf, it’s all developed in-house. And they have a whole bunch of things like that, which are like part physics, part math, part mechanics, part software and part choosing/speccing (and sometimes designing) the exact right parts.

Canon’s new effort looks promising indeed btw, would be great if ASML gets some serious competition one day.

Misleading title and tweet. The survey groups together antisemitism and being anti Israel.
Rejecting zionism doesn't mean being hostile to jews. In fact many jews are against zionism and the concept of Israel as a Jew nation.

Furthermore, the Palestinians are as semite as the Israelis. In this sense, Israel is currently the most active antisemite entity, given they have murdered thousands of semites in just a month and half.

If the argument is about sustainable transportation, then yes: big numbers matter. Scale matters, and mass transit is the definition of scale.

For the “encrypted at rest” statement I guess it depends on your definition of “at rest”. Email passes through many hands, and random mom-and-pop shops definitely aren’t using PGP. So any emailed credit card information is being stored on many different computers. In theory those kinda of logs should be purged regularly, but who knows.
It would have, though, if Putin's "conquered in three weeks" had panned out.
Wonder if that is meant to be 36% of its food imports are from this region. Or even wronger would be 36% of exports from this region go to China.

> I just don't believe people that say you _have_ to be in office to solve complex problems

I don't think anyone is saying that. They're saying that collaboration on those problems is more effective/easier when everyone is in the office together, not that it doesn't happen when remote. It's hard for me to see how this could be wrong. The most obvious example is that when in person I have lunch with colleagues where we talk about work things that we absolutely do not talk about when everyone is remote. There's much less siloization. It's not impossible to fix that in a remote environment, but most companies don't know how to, and instead of replacing leadership with a remote first team it's easier to go back to in person.
this brings back memories, drupal used to be my choice for my websites, but after drupal8, I moved to wordpress.
I agree with your upstream point, but dont think you can generalize your dad's perspective on family to the generation. I dont think most people viewed family and children in such a transactional way.

I think rather that family and children were a cultural expectation, and people derived purpose and satisfaction from fulfilling that expectation. This goes back basically to the dawn of history.

In that sense, is/was a matter of personal goalsetting and meeting those goals. That is to say, people have always have had goals an motivations, even if they werent very explicit. Thats why they keep going through the motions instead of sitting down and starving to death.
From the East Coast to Europe, time zones aren't that bad and cultural issues are pretty manageable too. From the West Coast it would be harder.
Statistically, many "average" upper middle class people are very able to become low tier multimillionaires through a well educated upbringing and a good job, and good financial decisions over a long period of time.

But many of those people take their entire lives to go from "pretty well off" to "technically a multi millionaire, after many years of hard work, and planning" and got there from very reasonable expectations.

Now a billionaire is literally about a thousand* times richer than any of those people. We're talking "I literally make a difference in elections without anyone knowing my name" rich.

Maybe this is a good example of how rich billionaires don't need to be. The mere fact some people can't even imagine the difference between a factor of a literal thousand* (how ironic of me).
That sort of supports the notion that people tend to be unhappy in their jobs, doesn't it? If the only reason to go to a job is to get paid, that's a strong indicator that the job sucks.

If interests were making themselves rich on real estate and other supporting industries by wasting productivity on commuting, office lunches, etc, it makes me think the current [impact on commercial real and affected industries] may just be the "bezzle" coming due.

Now that the cards are laid out flat, in retrospect it's easier for everyone to see and discover that the productivity and value may have been stolen. I'd love to see some investigation into showing the potential connections more concretely.
This does seem to be the pattern. I was a technical cofounder in one startup (not YC), even though I do have the chops and experience as a startup CEO. You have to focus so much on the tech and tech hiring early on that you are left out of a lot of the deal making and fund raising. It seems to slide you over into the same bucket as early employees pretty quickly.
The idea that everything is just numbers is cynical, delusional, and dehumanizing. You should think more seriously about this before proclaiming everything is "just math". Math is just an approximation humans made up to explain things. It's very good at that but it is provably flawed.

I think it's extremely disrespectful to make a TV show out of a work of fiction without the permission of the author. That author would be well within their rights to sue you.
> it’s not about being cost effective. It’s about winning.

well, you win by being cost effective. Most modern wars are contests of attrition and logistics and bringing down political will to continue to fight, Ukraine being a good example now, but Afghanistan too of course.

Tactically costs don't always matter, but the overall strategic goal has to be to trade favorably.
Altough I am from the Netherlands and people here do this too (everything east of Germany is not Europe...), it always bothered me we call Eastern Europe eastern! The eastern third of Europe is Russia! Ukraine and the rest of 'eastern' Europe are really central Europe. AFAIK the Poles do this correctly consistently.
I agree but would caveat by saying that there are a lot of things in the world that destroy people and families. A lack of romance and escape being another of them.

I think you're referring to the protocol patents which are under FRAND anyway, so Apple can use them (just have to pay). E.g. You can't modulate a certain way without violating a patent, yet the standard requires modulation in that fashion.

I'm considering implementation patents, such as "use a sliding window to filter/damp the amplitude variation due to user wiggling their hand while close to a wall to reduce the amount of re-analysis to change the the best path to the remote antenna"

(BTW I just made that example up for expository purposes)
