CEO's are driven by compensation packages that are heavily dependant on stock prices and peer pressure. Retaining and retraining good people are just not a factor in their decision making process, neither is social responsibility.

These mega tech companies are now so big and so few that a cartel-effect has definitely emerged and it is resulting in this collective push towards the AI hype train and ofcourse layoffs. Most of this AI training data was scraped surreptitiously, labelled by the poorest of the poor, and then sold as original art which is just not in any meaningful way.

It might be time for us as a society to stop arguing over gender/race/socio-economic/gun politics, or being distracted by AI psuedo prophets saying that AI has some mighty power that we must regulate(to lock-in their 1st mover advantage) and other topics loudly shouted at us by large media companies(which are frequently owned by wealthy interests) and start thinking about how we can reclaim our privacy, freedoms and agency in the halls of our capitals and courts.
This is largely due to increasing access to education in less developed countries.

I'm not a fan of the specific new pasta shape, but I like the brand itself, because they offer something that is hard for me to find elsewhere, especially in a ~normal grocery store: unusual grains in unusual shapes. The comparison with Juicero seems wrong to me because, as far as I can tell, that product was a very old existing product (fresh juice) in a new wrapper. I don't know anything about coffee so I can't comment on the K-cup comparison.

I have tried other brands and failed to find anybody else that is as reliable at unusual grains in unusual shapes. The difference is real!
The scale at which China is deploying Solar is more than rest of world combined. It’s frankly quite amazing.

If any major economy achieved zero emissions for productions of electricity, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was either China using Solar and Nuclear, or France betting on Nuclear.

We call China our enemy, but the biggest enemy of US is US. We can either adapt or live in the past.

Electricity prices haven’t changed much in last 50 years in real currency.

Economies that heavily invest in cheap energy, and high autonomy will win out.
Yeah I think nothing actually uses interrupts by default. But they're accessible through the expansion ports. Not sure what the problem would be though.
Trust but verify comes to mind here. I have personally tried to verify this because I work on a project to bring all stories(good, bad, neutral) on novel therapeutics + Long COVID and I have yet to be successful in verifying this with the poster over a couple months.

They told me previously to reach out to a specific Long COVID advocacy group and when I did, that group replied with very limited data as no one had really tried it. Now they are claiming it is a Facebook group with this new post, so something is not adding up here. Let alone all the other public anecdotal and research evidence suggesting the opposite or being neutral. I will continue to try to verify, but I hope you can see why we cannot just trust what is said on the internet as truth.
Yak hair has a number of uses:

Yak hair has also been used for wigs and costumes. The Chewbacca costume from the Star Wars trilogy was largely made of yak hair, as were Spock’s eyebrows on Star Trek.

However, this Stack Exchange answer suggests that yaks are typically combed and sheared rather than shaved: https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/28217/do-yaks-g...
We don't care about pollution, for climate change only the pollution of carbon dioxide matters. The majority of carbon dioxide is produced by transportation and heating, much of that from individuals.

There are a lot of people that want to deflect from action on climate change by focusing on the oil refinery and not the tailpipe.

Your list is suspiciously missing China, the biggest producer of CO2. Saudi Arabia is down the list, after South Korea and Germany; their CO2 per capita is but not abormally. It is the per capita emissions and population that matter. Then USA (300 million), Russia (147 million), Saudi Arabia (40 million), India (1.4 billion). The first three have large per capita emissions, double the others. The list of CO2 producers are basically a list of large and/or rich countries.
> There is always a point where I have to skip 2 or 3 days because of life and the huge backlog is too much that I give up.

Some things I do to manage this:

You can put an upper bound on the number of cards reviewed per day. For me it's 50. After that it says I'm done for the day and I wait till the next day.

If missing only 2-3 days leads to such a huge backlog, you really need to take a break in adding new cards. My aim is to spend no more than 5-10 minutes per day reviewing cards. If it seems I always have too many cards to review, I don't add any new cards until I get only a few cards to review per day (when really busy, I don't add a new card until I have a day with 0 cards).

You can only learn so much per day. You need to limit card additions to ensure you don't exceed that amount.

The other thing I noticed is that I had two types of cards: One where the answer can be instantaneous (e.g. facts). And ones where some thinking is involved (proof sketch of a theorem, details of some algorithm, etc). The latter would kill the experience because of the time involved. So I separated the decks: Simple cards (the majority) go in one deck and this is reviewed daily. Hard cards have their own deck(s) and I'm not as committed to them - I work on them only when I know I have time and am committed to it.

And I think somehow you understated the security patching.

What drives me crazy is I'm always behind, and when my manager asks me to do something, I'm always having to argue for higher priority things that are beyond obvious.

But if it's not his top priority, I get to feel bad by repeatedly getting asked in multiple meetings about whatever his highest priority topic is.

That's what drives me nuts. It feels like my managers way to get me to do things is to waste so much of my time, that I end up giving in just to not have any more of my time wasted.

True in general, yes, but writing is an elegant solution where the longer something is, the more likely you are to write it down because you are less likely to be able to remember it. The shorter something is, the less likely you are to write it down because it’s a pain to get out your scratchpad (or iPhone) for ten words or less.
The definition that the CDC created backs up my statement. "Long COVID is not one condition. It represents many potentially overlapping entities, likely with different biological causes and different sets of risk factors and outcomes."

https://www.covid.gov/be-informed/longcovid/about#term

Any pain or psychological issue you have after covid can be categorized as "Long Covid". Which is ridiculous because if covid never happened we wouldn't expect joint pain and depression to go away. Those things existed long before covid and should have been expected to exist after covid.

Non reproduced studies that cherry pick data to fit the conclusion do not refute these facts.

The issue is Lewis going out of his way, in so many pubic forums, to present SBF as a good guy genius with only the best of intentions. At worst, as a good kid who made a couple of sad mistakes that you should forgive him for.
Before and throughout SBF's trial, Lewis's biases were displayed more and more in his denials and ...fanciful interpretations and justifications of the things SBF did.

It is not that his book should have painted a bad guy as an unequivocal bad guy. It is that you cannot trust Lewis' accounting of events and people because of his known extreme bias in the matter; his descriptions of events and emotions at play during them are filtered through a very biased lens.

It can still be an entertaining read and story, it just can't be a trusted one.
This isn’t entirely true. Many scanners do preference specific IP ranges such as cloud providers. Cloud IPs receive substantially more scanning traffic than darknet IPs or even random corporate IPs.
The ugly dirty truth is that illegal immigrants form the underclass of the USA that allow for the relative cheap formation of small (otherwise noncompetitive) businesses when it comes to manual labor. Restaurants, cleaning, construction, automotive, farming, etc. It's a complete race to the bottom. But...if you can't stop people crossing the border...why not stop the people hiring them? Put them in jail?

But that's an incredibly unpopular solution. Every politician goes around orally fellating the small business ethos because it feeds into the meritocratic delirium. So essentially, Americans will backhandedly wail about illegal immigration while eating cheap fast food and hiring them to paint their walls.

There have been attempts to implement an ID system, especially when it comes to voting locally. But it was deemed racist. Because it meant only citizens who had the ID could vote. And some citizens didn't have IDs. And a portion of those people were poor minorities. And they didn't want to get them because it infringed on some rights. Or something. So America has this contrived system of registering to vote where people get tricked into also registering their political affiliation which is often used by politicians to sling mud at other politicians and political statisticians to pull slightly more accurate numbers out of their asses.

In some locales you straight up have to register with your affiliation to be able to vote. There's a significant segment of illegal immigrants who may or may not vote to support local political constituents that have their interests at heart, and a political party that appeals to those illegal voters. This political party uses this voter demographic for their benefit, because these local political constituents that are voted in have a voice in who the party as a whole can nominate for higher political parties. Since part of the political establishment is based on elections are based on representatives who then choose other representatives. And so the cycle continues.

> "be OK with things not getting fixed"

Actually, I think the job of an early stage founder is to fix things just enough.

You don't want them to be broken, but being okay with them being far short of perfect is what is needed to survive.

As far as employees, they too must decide how deep to go to fix a bug or add a feature. As a hyperbole, a naive employee might rewrite a functioning java program in rust to "fix it", taking far longer than correcting logic in the existing program would.

Yeah, the burnout isn't usually coming from the coding (though it may be in some cases), it's from all the pointless bullshit that gets in the way of said coding. In every job I've gotten burnout from I've wanted to keep coding, and I would be happier if I could actually get to do so. But then either the business side got in the way, a dependency on another team got in the way, etc. So the frustrations just mounted up and up, and the feeling of hopelessness set in.

There are also potential feedback effects from rising temperature. Northern Europe should survive the 2C warming we are headed towards, but higher temps could cause big problems.

Northern Europe should worry about the Gulf Stream or Atlantic Conveyor currents failing and changing the climate.

Another big one is melting permafrost. Warmer temps cause permafrost to melt and release CO2, which leads to more warming, and repeat.

Finally, there is danger of ice sheets melting which could rise sea levels by hundreds of feet.

That's not quite accurate. Under EMTALA, ERs are only required to stabilize patients. Once an indigent patient is stabilized and no longer at immediate risk, the hospital is free to discharge them even if they have serious medical conditions.

Some hospitals voluntarily do more than the law requires to treat such patients.
The challenges here is that testosterone was found to be lower for folks with covid/long covid. So your observations add up.

> A significant proportion of male COVID-19 patients also display persistent low testosterone levels, reminiscent of absent or aberrant GnRH production, and SARS-CoV-2 has been shown to invade the brain. Taken together, these findings raise the possibility that in such patients, the GnRH system may be infected or dysfunctional, leading to the accelerated aging and cognitive deficits observed in patients with “long-COVID” or post-COVID syndrome. However, in what way and for how long GnRH neurons or their function may be affected in COVID-19 patients is still unknown.

It's advice about prioritizing. You can go in any direction with work tasks and end up yak shaving, but if you are trying to "make the machinery move" as a founder would, you cannot go deep into that yet. You have to first clarify the larger Venn diagram of what you're solving and address just the stuff that has strong overlap. There are a lot of those problems as well.

eh, that dirties too many dishes. Get the pasta cooked in salted water, drain it, put the pot that you cooked the pasta in on the turned off stove, add a few spoons of sauce from the jar in the fridge. The sauce will warm up from the residual heat of the pan. Add in pasta and stir it around. Your pasta is cooled from the sauce and the sauce is warmed from the pasta. Serve. Works fine with pesto and tomato sauce.
This seems like the standard shift seen in all industrialized countries. Rural areas and small towns don't have the density to maintain economic viability. There just aren't enough labor-intensive jobs to keep small towns afloat.

I would imagine the American development pattern makes the economics even less favorable. Cars are very expensive and most (all?) small towns are designed exclusively for car-dependency. Infrastructure cost scales with sprawl too, so city costs to maintain infra are presumably high per-capita.

I'm not sure what the solution is. We could subsidize rural areas more (we already do quite significantly, but clearly the handouts aren't sufficient). But I think in the end we have to accept that times change, and certain lifestyles just aren't sustainable.
