To be completely fair, their plug-in is still freely available. After being kicked off by unfair and unreasonable (uncompetitive?) practices, it's not unreasonable to say "hey they suck so we are doing our own thing over here". If someone robs you it's not unethical to set up shop elsewhere.

Asking for money for support is entirely reasonable as well.
1. Those stories do contain truths about humanity. Simulation theory doesn’t from what I gather, it’s purely a materialistic concept.

2. Abrahamic religions are extremely influenced by Zoroastrianism. Christianity maybe the most influenced due to it competing with Persian monotheism for the dominant near east religion.

> the fact that Post Office Ltd has inherited the ability to prosecute crimes committed against itself

Any private citizen or business in the UK has a right to prosecute crimes. It just costs a lot of money, so you can imagine how it's used (spoiler: large companies/wealthy individuals against poor people).
Yes they are incredibly conservative.

They generally don't pay terribly well for non-revenue generating roles, for a broad definition of "non-revenue generating". I have had rounds of interviews with them over the years where they put me through a bunch of rounds, feel me out, and realize that actually.. they can't really afford me.

I know people who take a job there and JPM nickel & dimes you on the way in, lies about target bonus not being prorated first year, and then also gives 0 raise first year. Cute stuff like "forgetting" to pay starting bonuses for months, etc.

I've heard YoY raises that are some of the worst in the industry. To the point that leaving for a competitor is an easy 50%-100% increase in TC because of 5-10 years of surpassed raises.

Another example, in 2020 when COVID hit they did some wide ranging bonus cuts to offset increases in loan reserves for expected credit losses during the pandemic. As all the stimulus kicked in and the economy started to rip, the credit losses didn't come to pass, so they subsequently paid out a fraction of the money they withheld earlier.

Those pennies add up for JPM.
My guess is that a lot of these features are hard-coded, and they are deprecating them in order to replace them with a more generic LLM-based assistant.
America is literally built on classist domination.

Like there’s no two ways about it it’s unquestionable there’s no denying it. It is embedded in our history and it is inextricable from our future.

Until and unless we fix the root problem which is the foundational inequity that America was founded on, we’ll continue to devolve and will eventually revert into a group of countries, much like all the ancient empires did.

Around 1999, I said to someone, "You cannot be 'l33t' and also have the Year of the Linux Desktop."

And some people really love that l33t feel, right down to git. I've had people here tell me that "reflog" is just as intuitively obvious as "undo." You can't reason with those people.

I'm scratching an itch right now to make a wizard-driven application, but in the CLI. Right now I am noticing little subtle bits of friction driven by Arcanery, such as things which aren't easily possible in Windows being available in Linux, but locked behind a hoop or two. Even the input prompt itself in my chosen language is slightly sad.

no surprise there. administrations, like governments, first start to serve people. they grow. and after some time, they grow to fulfill themselves and their own needs. and soon, the people or their "clients" become the ones paying for the administration ever growth, and the main goal of the administration is to serve itself and its growth.

The United States spent 6% of its GDP putting human beings on the moon. And this was done during a time that historians don't generally consider to be a time of vast deprivation for the populace; it turns out investing in and inventing rocketry and aerospace technologies the likes of which humanity has never seen before is great for job creation.

How much of the GDP should we be willing to spend to actively replace pollution generating energy plants with lower polluting alternatives?

> "what is a reliable, clean and affordable energy source?"

"Clean" and "affordable" map immediately and obviously onto wind and solar; what then happens is people engage in a lot of wrangling around "reliable" to push nuclear, requiring bending both "clean" and "affordable" quite a bit and running into an invisible other criteria of "quick to deploy" and "politically acceptable".
Yeah, I think this is why Elon Musk's companies can thrive - the flat "hierarchy" he's setup:

> I wouldn't be surprised if Tor was a honey pot designed to catch people doing nefarious things.

So far, the high profile busts involving Tor all involve some other weaker link in the chain, such as traffic analysis[0], a CI, a targeted sting operation. etc.

If this is the case and your hypothesis is true, then it appears to be unnecessary on their part, since all the folks they're prosecuting are those for whom other evidence is more readily available.

(Before someone replies with "parallel construction": the point of parallel construction is to use methods that are easy but illegal to obtain evidence that can be used to help find "legal" sources of evidence that would otherwise not be easy or feasible. That doesn't really apply here, where the illegal (or in this case, secretive) method is more work than the "official" method).

[0] e.g. that case a decade ago where a student called in a bomb threat using Tor, and the university was able to determine that exactly one person on campus was using Tor at that time - not by compromising Tor itself, but because Tor traffic is detectable by ISPs.

> "...But if you want to fix experiments in clinical medicine, this is where you start."

You start by not allowing interests with a financial incentive to get a positive result from a clinical trial to run those trials - it's an obvious conflict of interest. However, the University of California has been a long-time leader in the exclusive licensing and privatization of discoveries made with taxpayer dollars, and so the UC also has an incentive to promote bogus clinical trials because it gets a percentage of sales from UC-licensed inventions, and so a professor at the UC who writes a screed defending these practices (which is what this article amounts to) will thereby ingratiate themselves with the administration - positive career move!

The real problems come down to deliberate systematic bias in experimental design, which people outside of academia might consider to be fraud - and it should be well-understood that statistical tests have a very hard time revealing such systematic biases.

Let's take a specific example - Gilead's remdesivir, and Gilead's fellowship programs and gifting to UC Berkeley professors. The corporatization of academics in the United States means that trust in the independence of academic researchers is no longer warranted, they're more in the cheerleading section now than in the rigorous science section. Thus (2021):

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34252308/

> "Here, we critically evaluate the assumptions of the models underlying remdesivir's promising preclinical data and show that such assumptions overpredict efficacy and minimize toxicity of remdesivir in humans. Had the limitations of in vitro drug efficacy testing and species differences in drug metabolism been considered, the underwhelming clinical performance of remdesivir for both COVID-19 and Ebola would have been fully anticipated."
I agree, but wouldn't there be problems with the speed and cost in electricity. Also, would it need to be a single logging blockchain shared by everyone or I would imagine there could be issues with every computer system running its own blockchain - would that make it easier to fake?
Not true. Folks love to print stories that are true but not noteworthy. And then they post a note about the things that were noteworthy but old news.

If you're even considering buying dedicated mining hardware, you're already way more specialized than the average user of Bitcoin. Diseconomies of scale at the high end don't stop Bitcoin mining from being an extremely unequal gated community relative to the average user with a smartphone in their pocket.

In fact, this is the main reason why the Bitcoin core development team has largely rejected proposals to, say, determine acceptable maximum block size[0] through miner consensus. How much data a miner can process is likely to be far higher than that of casual users, who aren't going to be mining and thus have no franchise.

As for the scale issues you mentioned, wouldn't dedicated cooling be more efficient per hash? That's the metric that matters for Proof of Work.

Fair point. What I know of stoicism comes from that book, and I’m certain this has been debated a million times elsewhere.

I think the “serenity prayer” is a powerful distillation of stoicism as you describe it:

I’m not religious, but that’s beautiful.

I agree that this is not a Eurocentric issue, take Egyptology for example. They know there are secret chambers in the great pyramid, but the Egyptians have no desire to really look further. Western Egyptologists just follow suit. Nobody bothers to take seriously the strange, water like erosion around the Sphinx. Or that perfectly symmetrical urns and statues were carved out of granite. How does one carve the interior cavity of an urn with the most rudimentary of tools? The pyramids are not even the most interesting aspect but yet we all just shrug and say nothing to see here, Egyptians included.

Don't you think that gives the people who are falsifying results rather an easy time?

If Bob falsifies data and someone e-mails him, asking him to send them rope to hang him with, he can simply delete the e-mail.

Or claim he forgot the details of the analysis. Or claim it was handled by a grad student who left. Or claim the info was lost when a hard drive broke. Or claim the data was the intellectual property of College A and he can't access it now he's at College B. Or claim privacy or copyright rules cover the key data. Or that they don't have a license to the software that can open the data files any more. Or any of a dozen other things.

I don't often hear people complaining that sports, music, theatre are broken because of this supply/demand mismatch. (People certainly complain about other problems, e.g. streaming music royalties). It's generally accepted that it's a rare and special thing to make a good living in those industries. Why do we view academia differently? Is it because it seems more like "work"?

It wasn’t free money, it was COVID. We had low rates and low inflation for years before 2020.

Remember when the government used emergency powers and forced the economy to shut down over health mandates? Remember the thousands of dollars in checks the government mailed to every person or business with a pulse?

That whole operation completely distorted and screwed up the economy. It boosted tech companies with unnatural growth. It boosted real estate prices. It increased the cost of grocery staples. The market reacted in the rebound, the Fed reacted to the market, and we are playing out the effects of the bad decisions made in 2020.
It’s not 2020 anymore. And by the way, check out bitcoin today. And the ETFs. They’re all selling on the news.
