Anyone proposing this is either twisting or seriously misunderstanding the meaning of the word "homicide," an intentional killing. At most, a company could be pursued for manslaughter, death as a side effect of a business activity.

In practice, companies are not normally held responsible for even directly attributable killings. Instead, they pay fines to the government as Boeing did with their 737 MAX crashes. Individuals definitely don't go to jail, or even lose their jobs in many cases.

There may be a risk. Some countries are forcing visitors to disclose their social media accounts. We know that some countries, such as Thailand, will arrest you for criticizing the King.1 We know Britain has arrested individuals for thought crimes.2 Speech is definitively under attack in the name of stifling hate speech and protecting certain individuals, so it's always possible but the actions will tell us more than analysis because it's kind of unprecedented.

In short, really no country on earth as the freedoms of speech and expression that America does but it's all changing. It's possible you could be arrested but it would really depend on the situation, and the person. You, arrested? Probably not. Jordan Peterson, maybe.

In the past year, I've gone from near-zero understanding to pretty deep expertise in the domain of electrical grid interconnection as a product engineer. Here's how I went about it.

I think all the other comments saying "read a lot" and "talk to everyone" are correct first steps, but for me, consuming information has diminishing returns after a short while. After you've reached a point where your brain feels like it's exploding, you should switch your focus to outputting information.

If you're a "write things down" person, then write a synthesized document explaining everything you've learned, and then ask a few trusted coworkers to tear it apart.

If you're a "talk out loud" person, schedule time with coworkers to have a "teachback session" where you give a presentation about everything you've learned. Again, ask them to tear it apart.

It's crucial to build trust with a few coworkers who are willing to critique your output. Get them to rip everything you've created to shreds. Whenever you write or say something that's even slightly off compared to how someone in the industry would say it, make sure you learn about that, and learn how someone in the industry would say it.

This focus on getting the language right - especially the colloquial language of how people actually describe things day-to-day - is important for every role, but I assume it's especially important in marketing, where you need to be able to use the precise language that your customers use.

tl;dr: Read/talk to people at first, but switch to writing/presenting ASAP. Solicit and internalize as much critical feedback as you possibly can.
What choice can you point to that has increased Google's market cap? Google's search quality is deteriorating, Waymo is yet to make a profit, GCP is struggling, "Attention is all you need" was too early on to credit Sundar, and since then Google's reputation is flagging due to embarrassing AI models...

I think Google's market cap is increase _despite_ Sundar, not because. That said, Google does have enough resources to turn it around, I just don't think Sundar is the right person to do it.
Agree! My current racing bike uses chromoly steel, which is somewhat stiffer and stronger than regular steel, so they can make the tubes thinner. I can attest it’s very light as a result. Maybe not as light as a modern Aluminum frame, but still, very very light, and I guess more durable.

We spent trillions on the war not so long ago, who knows how many billions just spent in Europe, and hundreds of billions on various programs that do not really produce anything, so when I saw numbers like $8.5B from the government these days it's like nothing to me, why is this even a headline? I just can not make sense of it myself anymore.
The Applescript/Hypercard script this is inspired by were created to resemble prose to make it easier to understand for non-technical people (and one can argue in hindsight that to be a misguided design goal)

There is no need for a light JS replacement to be as verbose as prose. The Venn diagram of engineers trying Hyperscript out on their side projects and people unfamiliar with code syntax are two distinct circles.

If you want to put logic in HTML attributes, it needs to be concise and expressive, not resembling English prose. Even APL would be a better choice.
A lot of people are commenting on the fact that in a high inflation environment, your savings will themselves be worth less. However, the author is assuming that people will invest their savings, and that those investments will naturally keep pace with inflation.

> By owning income-producing assets such as stocks, farmland, and real estate, your wealth should keep pace with inflation (to some degree) over the long-run.

---

Now, I'm not sure if this works. Let's say your investment is going to grow by 10% over five years. If inflation over the same timespan is 5%, you will end up with less spending power than if it was 2%.

However, it probably doesn't make sense to keep those growth numbers constant. Do investments tend to grow more in a high-inflation environment versus a low-inflation one? This is where I don't know enough about economics.

Have they? Do you have support for that statement?

Why is it so implausible that different materials might feel different?
I did a (non-blind) comparison of steel versus carbon fiber, and they felt very different to me.
They also certainly sound wildly different if you just tap your finger on steel frame versus a carbon fiber frame, so a different "feel" that corresponds to higher frequency vibrations seems plausible.
Correct. This article is idiotic. They completely ignore lifetime consumption and only look at current consumption, forgetting that those stocks and other income generating assets are also X% more expensive.

I tried to leave Spotify. I tried to switch to Tidal, which boasts better sound quality, and most importantly, better payments to artists.

I switch between listening on my phone, my computer, other computers, and my google home devices all day. With Spotify, I can choose which device to choose to from anywhere, and I can also control it from anywhere. I can play music from my laptop, then change songs from my phone, then send it to my google home speakers whenever I'd like.

Tidal didn't have that. Didn't even have google home integration. Didn't even have a desktop app on Linux. I switched back in less than a day. As annoying as Spotify's app can be sometimes, it's the service that works across all my devices, and can switch between all my devices.

that's the reason, the article also gives as an advice for savers to invest into income producing assets which also produce proportionally more income as inflation rises instead of sitting on cash.

> The solution is to add a requirement that any platform the software is hosted on also has to be open source.

Even that is a somewhat temporary hack. The SSPL spreads to:

> "management software, user interfaces, application program interfaces, automation software, monitoring software, backup software, storage software and hosting software, all such that a user could run an instance of the service using the Service Source Code you make available"

and sure, AWS and Azure definitely don't want to open source all of that stuff now, or for the next decade or two.

But that's not their competitive advantage; that's their datacentres and their sheer gigantic size and deep pockets, making them a "safer" partner for enterprises. National governments won't run a critical service on Redis Cloud when Azure Redis is available, even if the software stacks were 100% identical.

It's quite possible to imagine a cloud provider in 2040 that does run a fully OSS stack and is able to sell SSPL software on a massive scale without paying a cent to the original developers. Doesn't even have to be a new actor, Amazon could spin-off a separate experimental organization for that purpose.

If that were to happen, could another license solve the problem?
I understand the fundamental motivation for this sort of thing. The web is a static document display that over many decades of augmentation and extension has morphed into an app development platform. And arguably, a lot of the mechanics of it are less elegant than in purpose build app-development environments.

But, I don't think another language that tries to abstract the fundamentals is the solution to that. I think this is true for Hyperscript - as much as it is for JSX and Co. JavaScript is the most widely known programming language, has the most extensive knowledge base and the biggest ecosystem. And there's no shortage of frameworks that make using it easier without reinventing the wheel.

I believe using anything else for a serious project severely limits the talent pool from which you can hire, the ecosystem you can draw from and the maintainability of your project in the long run.
noted:) thanks for the feedback I think that would be an easier way to kick off camelQA as well. We'll have to learn how to do that in our remote physical device farm.
People can change their vision, skills, and commitments. Values don't normally change except to be solidified as one gets older.

Being an older person myself (and working for both myself and others in many different contexts), I would say alignment of values is the most important quality in any arrangement: business, personal, or otherwise. Friction over values can tear apart any kind of relationship.

When you have values alignment, two people will naturally come to similar conclusions about what the overall outcome and goals should be. They'll also think of similar ways to solve problems and address issues, because those ways will align with their (shared) values.

If it's discovered later that one person lacks values the other considers important, the partnership (or even the entire business) can be destroyed and this has happened many times in the tech industry.

> This is hardly a novel idea in the rest of the world. It is an ancient one and widespread.

This (like so many other things) is a very ontologically tricky proposition due to the deceptive distinction between abstract and concrete "is-ness". It is true that at least one Human in each country possesses at least some knowledge of such things, but how well distributed is the knowledge? The so casually deployed symbol "is" makes no distinction, and Humans generally do not have the ability to consider such things.

Even weirder: Hard Whorfism "is" "false".

> It strikes me that westerners have lost the roots of their culture and are having to relearn it from elsewhere.

Absolutely agree....perhaps this is (at least in part) because we never learned in the first place (other than abstractly, and even there only for a small percentage of the population) the difference between abstract and concrete "reality", because such things are not taught in standard curriculum in school (see also: financial planning, how to be nice, categorization in general (ontology/taxonomy), etc).

I often wonder if all of the sub-optimalities in our "advanced, 'scientific' culture" are purely coincidences / oversights. That people seem to so reliably (in frequency, and form) have an innate and very strong aversion (a lot like how religious or anti-religious people get nervous/agitated if one is to call into question the truth of scripture) to discussing such matters in the context of concrete reality makes me more than a little suspicious.
So I have three thoughts about this.

The first is cell specialization, particularly neurons. It seems like nature really came up with a universal neuron. There aren't neurons for eyesight vs thinking, etc. They've experimented with this on frogs where they've reweired the optic nerve to a different part ofd the brain and the frog seems to see just fine. They've even added an eye and the frog seems to cope and use it just fine.

The second is the OpenWorm project [1]. This is an attempt to simulate a relatively simple organism with IIRC ~280 neurons. Despite lots of effort, the simulated version just doesn't match up to the real thing. In artificial neural networks we have a stupidly simplified model of neurons that tends to get reduced to a binary signal and an activation function. Thius can do a lot but it's clearly wholly inadequate for any realistic modelling. The protein interactions in a cell are mind-bogglingly complex.

The third is the three-body problem. To summarize, we have a general solution for the grvity interactions of two bodies. Add one more and we don't. We have classes of solutions but no general solution. This is why JPL needs to use supercomputers to calculate flight plans with a relatively low number of bodies. We see a relatively simple set of interactions lead to massive complexity with protein folding. I imagine that it just won't be computationally viable to simulate even a single realistic cell given all th einteractions that go on. We're simply left to make estimations.

[1]: https://openworm.org/
The future belongs to techno-optimists. This is a critical coalition to build, because pragmatically, I do not see carbon capture or carbon reduction happening quickly. I think we need the climate scientific community to model an approach and put forward a recommendation.
If that’s all people are doing why use Linux or even Windows? Seems like ChromeOS is a perfect device for that.

I think people do a lot more that just that.
> TLDR, maternal morbidity in US sources often widens the net to include things like drug overdoses.

The article doesn't mention drug overdoses specifically, though it does mention cancer as a common cause not related to pregnancy that is increasing maternal death rates.

Ironically, drug overdoses are themselves subject to this same issue: many of the officially-reported stats for both hospitalizations and deaths due to drugs use a method that is essentially equivalent to "did this person report having taken a substance" (or "were traces of a substance detected"), regardless of the amount taken or the cause of death, which means that those are overestimated as well.
