Historically we'd be talking about 80-90% of people being farmers [0]; even putting aside the fact that "farmers" in this day and age, by productivity, are basically just minding big machines that work hard. Tell you what, how about I say 1%. So maybe it is a 98% reduction in farming employment instead of 100%. None of my arguments change though.

Now that is a long list, but a several the jobs you're listing there might be on the verge of extinction as a practical matter. Software developers in particular; it is clear that LLMs are about to do something big to the profession. It isn't clear if the job title will survive. Engineers more broadly I'd put in the same bucket, the category is at risk as an employer. ChatGPT is already outcompeting a lot of teachers I know in terms of being able to explain & tutor concepts. Airline pilots we should probably make illegal fairly soon; I wouldn't want to trust my life to human judgement when we could automate that away. We're on the edge of self driving cars and presumably self driving planes is either the same or easier difficulty because navigating the sky is easier than a street. I haven't talked to a cashier or salesperson in a long time because my local shopping centre has self-service or I buy things online. Etc, etc.

And I don't know why you think all those jobs are so important to preserve. If we can get rid of them we should, and as far as technology goes we're in spitting distance. The software is a matter of years, so really it is a question of where the economic limits are for robotics. I don't think we will; I imagine work will be found. But in terms of should we replace these people with capital, we should. And in many cases we will. And the goal should be to remove people from the workforce altogether through capital ownership because that is a much more comfortable lifestyle.

> but I actually don't want to go on and on and on with you.

As a style point, I'd recommend putting that at the end of the list, rather than the middle. I got a bit of a chuckle out of that, so if you did it for effect I thought it was a nice touch.

Because simply put, thinking that a forum is a weekend project is the issue.

I thought that once... it's just a couple of tables in a database and a nice frontend, right?

I've been at this (building forum software) for a decade now, and I'm still innovating. Good luck!

Founders should just sign the standard employment agreement for their own company. If that is what you are looking for.
You're missing a specific property where social constructs need to not exist without people agreeing they exist. It's not just about the multiple meanings - it's a social construct if it didn't exist before. "hammer" did exist. "hammer as a description of tools used to hurt people" doesn't until people agree it does.

The interesting parts are that enough consensus emerged due to (some factors) to create that meaning, how did that consensus emerge, if it's isolated to some groups, etc.
I wish more people thought this way. No wants to think about games with salary. People expect to be paid similar to others like them, it’s pretty simple. Anything less is a ticking time bomb of discontent.

The fact that the Socialhub uses Discourse is as you said, no forums pursued ActivityPub integration at that time.

NodeBB, Flarum, and yes, Discourse, are pursuing it now.
The same window of scrutiny exists for Android, too. Apple has further to fall, but that's because they deliberately tied their vertical integration to anticompetitive practices. Two wrongs don't fix a broken status quo.
The battery contains 50 curie (Ci). This radionuclide safety sheet says that anything more than 1 Ci of Ni-63 is a high-level (A) hazard.

https://ehs.stanford.edu/wp-content/uploads/Ni-63-RSDS.pdf

It also gives the annual limit on inhalation as 800 µCi and ingestion as 9 mCi. So the battery contains more than 60,000 max annual inhalation doses, if it was all vaporized, and more than 5,000 max ingestion doses, if it found its way into the water/food supply.
I agree it's not abnormal, but it's not abnormal to not ask, either.

I would never initiate a casual conversation with a cashier. If the cashier asks me how I am today, I'll say "fine, thanks." and that's it.
Yes. I have not seen anything that would indicate otherwise. The current ones aren't affected. From 9to5mac:

Nationalize?

It would make more sense for the government to Engineerize.

Maybe mandate qualifications for executives of certain types of engineering companies beyond a certain size.

Looking at the fundamental engineering tasks that are under the umbrella of the chain of command, each entire chain from task to top executives should be composed of engineers having deep experience starting at the lowest levels of task performance.

Where outstanding task performance, engineering ability, and experience can be crafted to overcome the sad situations where corporate ladder-climbing is instead favored to allow those without proper engineering ability to end up making important decisions.

IOW if the tasks were design, manufacturing, and maintenance, each of those departments would be headed up by the best leader in the company at that particular task. Maybe a 10-year time frame, from first progress as task operator to leadership at this level.

Before being laterally transferred to an adjacent department which retains its established leader, and the transferree retains their title and pay while actually having to spend some time performing some of those entry-level tasks for familiarity before being mentored back up the leadership chain in their new department in a much fewer number of years. Before further being given the immersion treatment within another key department.

Enough of this and you've got the company's best leadership candidates having the deep and broad capabilities to lead the departments all together in a combined way.

And eventually the top executives will be people like this and no other.

The best the company has to offer, proven from the ground up.

For some types of engineering where the business follows the design, manufacturing, maintenance progression, it might be ideal for some promising new engineers to start in maintenance, then move through manufacturing, then design. Which is in reverse, but that might be one of the ways to get the best designs more consistently. Provided this type of engineer has what it takes to be an outstanding designer to begin with, and from the start visualizes how each of their non-design tasks will be able to leverage their future design efforts to no end.

And each of the leading engineers should have appropriate managers working under them to handle the non-engineering staff needs.

Anything less and you're fooling yourself.

If there were only some kind of national aeronautics administration within the government that had enough qualified engineers to oversee something like this for Boeing.

It might just get off the ground.
I agree, and this is just a by-the-way comment about Smeg. I always assumed Smeg was a bargain-basement brand because of its espresso machines, which appear to be rebadged Delonghi devices. There's one model that looks like a clone of the Dedica for example.

As another commenter pointed out, coffee-makers are one area where people are willing to pay thousands, e.g. espresso machines made in Italy or Germany that are robust and largely authentic.*

*Even though many follow virtually the same design and are made from near-commodity parts.
There are a few limited use cases for blood oxygen sensors on wristwatches. Detecting or monitoring medical conditions that impact breathing or oxygen absorption such as COPD, sleep apnea, or COVID-19. Detecting hypoxia during high altitude activities such as mountaineering or aviation (in unpressurized aircraft).

For healthy users near sea level, blood oxygen sensors are mostly useless. Your blood oxygen saturation will always be close to 100%. I have one on a Garmin smartwatch but disabled it to save battery life because the data was useless.

This is just a general comment on using blood oxygen sensors. I am not taking a position on the legal aspects of this case or Apple's removal of product functionality.

No.

You’ll feel really bad when your homebrew toaster burns down somebody’s house and kills their kids.

There are very many fields you’d need expertise in to do this at all and you don’t seem to have much of an idea of what you don’t know. Getting hardware products off the ground is hard and requires tons of time and money. After all of that you’d have a really tough time selling anybody on the idea of buying your toaster which would have to be much more expensive than you imagine.

You would have to start on something way simpler.
GP here - feel free to replace "prove" with determine because that's what I meant. My point was that it is really hard for Amazon to detect data exfiltration when its disguised as some other run-of-the mill service. Amazon can cancel anyone's service at anytime, but they can't afford to piss off legitimate customers with capricious, undeserved bans due to false positives. Regardless of where AWS draws the line to separate abuse from legit usage,it will always be possible to skirt underneath it. The crux of my argument is that AWS will tolerate false negatives over false positives.
> Each country already has it’s own AppStore with specific apps, and reviews.

Is that true? I thought it is one app store, they just filter the content according to your region, language, etc. After all I don't have to install another app store app (unlike Amazon shopping which has different apps for different regions) when I go to another country.
Did they make over $100M from the fees? If so, it's still profit.

The thing about heavy things is their sheer size. There's only so much counter space and cabinet storage. Then again, if you have the disposable cash to spend that kind of money on a toaster, you probably have a kitchen larger than the majority of people's apartment
By long running I just meant anything that was not fast compute. I was more focused on finding the reference link so I agree my wording wasn’t clear.

Go started without preemption and added it later. The Java team has indicated a similar path, so we might see that tackled in the future. I think they could do that using safe points or JEP 312‘s handshakes, so it’s not infeasible.

For file io they wanted to explore io_ring and they might need to add a loom friendly resolver for JEP 418. There is just so much left, like scalable timers, that I think it’s going to be a long time until VTs will be a good default choice.

Disagree on the country statement. it requires certain achievements, but by no means extraordinary.

Thanks for your thoughtful feedback.

The chicken and egg is real. My plan to counter that is to only focus on the dev side first and find leads for them by brute force, i.e., initially I don't expect any employers to go to the platform.

I want to keep the verification light by design. Most employers aren't going to trust a platform's verification anyways. All these guarantees of top 2% devs are bullshit. I believe that basic resume review and occasionally asking an extra question or two takes care of the 80%. I think that's not a bad place to be since no platform is going to be perfect. My goal with verification is to make sure the platform isn't infiltrated by early career or devs who wouldn't pass the muster of most recruiter resume reviews.

You're exactly right. I want to build the whitepages of experienced devs. I'm not under any delusion that employers will just flock to this. I think if it at all works, much of the finding will have to be done on behalf of the employer, i.e., they tell what they want and we go scour the directory and send them leads.

I'd love to get your thoughts on the above.

ANC, FLN, French resistance are all irrelevant examples because once again, as I explained, Hamas is an organization dedicated to destruction of Israel

Israel pulled out of Gaza in 2005. That is an undeniable fact. Subsequently, Hamas took over and started firing rockets at Israel, which caused Israel to impose a blockade on Gaza. Egypt also blockades Gaza, btw. Saying that Israel occupies Gaza without acknowledging that Israel actually pulled out of Gaza in 2005 is just silly. Israel did not control what happens inside Gaza strip for the simple reason that it did not have a presence inside Gaza strip, which is why Hamas was able to build all those tunnels. Why deny the facts? What's the point?

The Full Stack of Society: Can You Make a Whole Society Wealthier?
I’ve never quite understood how this could be “debunked” as it’s a basic fact that different people, living in different places, speaking different languages, will have a different experience of the world.

From my understanding S-W is focused more on the languages as conceptual symbol systems and not on the real world lived experience. In other words, sure, languages may be somewhat equally capable of expression, but if you live in the desert your culture and language is going to be lacking when talking about rainforests.

This seems to be in line with the Wikipedia article:

Nevertheless, research has produced positive empirical evidence supporting a weaker version of linguistic relativity: that a language's structures influence and shape a speaker's perceptions, without strictly limiting or obstructing them.

> As long as your device meets the condition as answered in the questionnaire

> If you’re truly anxious about it, you can also walk into an Apple Store and you’ll get the decision on the spot.

That's exactly what I did. The questionnaire was slightly different than for mail-in. The in-store questionnaire asked for "cracked keycaps" (online didn't) and the employee proceeded to answer yes saying that worn-out paint on keys is "cracked keycaps". Result: $0 value.

You can trade in by mail only for store credit, right? Do you know what happens if some employee uses the same stupid logic when handling mail-in? I suppose they just keep the device and give no store credit?
Nothing wrong with taking the intellectual dirt bikes out for a rip at all! Keeps the mind young.
There are already companies that make nice-looking, higher-end kitchen appliances though - Breville comes to mind, there are probably others. Speaking from personal experience, I have a toaster oven from them that’s lasted close to ten years with zero problems; I’d have a hard time being convinced to pay more for a “made in USA” one unless there was something truly exceptional about it.
Yeah it’s a pretty nice toaster.
Feels like they are missing the obvious one - new employees have more leverage than existing employees.

If they are hiring that means they need that person. They also have to get them over the bump of joining. Old employees they just have to pay enough to stay. Staying involves doing nothing, switching jobs involves making decisions and taking risks. It always costs more to change something then it does to let it ride on inertia.

Maybe Samsung could come back from that?

Chinese companies have been buying reputable brands, and building new reputable ones (not the disposable random-name spamming brands that Amazon lets ruin searches).

Maybe Samsung will figure out how to compete in the demand for good quality. As a consumer, I started to think they were moving in that direction in some categories, from their earlier budget-brand rep in computer products, but looks like maybe not.

(Example: There's been price-gouging for remaining new-old-stock Samsung 2.5" Pro SSD, because Samsung discontinued it. By reputation, people consider it better quality than any brand's current 2.5" SSD offerings.)

I hope you are just Internet philosophizing - a popular pastime - and you don't confuse it with real life and real relationships. That sort of thing is meant as an intellectual exercise and an outlet for (whatever someone is feeling), not as reality.

It's not a power struggle; it's not a fight for survival. It's not the sympathetic nervous system, but the parasympathetic: not fight/flight/freeze, but growth and nurturance, compassion and love. I love to see them happy; I'm heartbroken to see them sad, and they feel the same. I want them to have everything. That's a normal, healthy relationship.

You are entirely correct, hence my assumption. I think non-expansive civilizations are out of question as it's far more likely that we are never able to detect them even if they exist. The energy trail is more debatable, but that necessarily needs a violation of the second law of thermodynamics, so it still sounds like a reasonable assumption to make.
