Good take I think. The root of the Grand USA bargain in my view is just what you said - it gives you social space and a civil society framework to try and achieve your own outcomes via capitalism.

Everyone has a different starting hand on how easy this is to do. In my experience, some starting points are crushingly unfair.

However, there is nothing stopping me from trying with the hand I have. The terrain to pick is pretty large as well. I can do these even if my parents aren’t landed nobility or the right caste. The knowledge needed is freely provided somewhere. The professional networks needed can be built out freely. I can move anywhere, and pick any market within at least the US’s domain - every state, every trading partner, and now via the internet every regulated western-ized market. The ways I fail in an unrecoverable way are also somewhat owned by me - don’t bet the farm, don’t take on financial obligations greater than what would lock me out of free choice due to realities of paying a mortgage and so on, if you want kids at 30 start thinking about how to set it up around 20.

These system rules aren’t understood by everyone, but imo doesn’t mean it doesn’t work more or less as designed. And to your last point, people who check into this path tend to check out of the old path and the old path’s complaints.
Netflix does this as well, and is how I found out about it. They claim that since you didn't cancel the service, it was clearly a lapse in your updating of the new number so they just helped you out. Of course it is in everyone's favor except yours when this happens.
I agree it's a "people skill", but I think phrasing it that way has two road blocks. The first is that the self-help industry of "people skill" books and their "phone tag" translations through the media and general population has turned "people skill" into a word that I think to a lot of people sounds like manipulation or dishonesty. There's a friendly way to tell people anything, the key is getting people to understand that "friendly bad news" isn't manipulative in and of itself. In my opinion, it's being more realistic than any "just telling it like it is" approach can be.

The second is that "people skill" covers a lot of things, where "be kind when communicating" is still broad, but a more actionable instruction. For "low EQ" (and I include myself in that category) people, it's those actionable things that really matter.
With a 95% efficient grid, and a 85% efficient battery, and a 80% efficient car you'd get an overall efficiency of ~65%. Still better than an ICE, I guess, and you can use local solar energy.

It's probably not even too expensive.
Fair enough, not an official final invitation but an official invitation to increase ties with the intent of there being an official MAP at a later date. In my view that is a distinction without a meaningful difference.

Perhaps you're thinking had there been an official invitation and Ukraine quickly accepted then there wouldn't be a Russia-Ukraine war as they would be covered under article 5. I think it's an open question if the US would declare war on Russia in such an instance. I think the reluctance to allow a quick ascension in the first place is born out of the same reluctance to enter such a war. The US is only as bound by treaties as it wants to be. The US could of course meet the letter of article 5 but not the spirit by providing a token response instead of the total war response people are expecting.
Yep

> and these guys can't even remember to define their acronyms first?

DJI is not an acronym, it's the name of a company. And DJI is the most famous drone company; asking to "define DJI", on an article for a site about drones like that one, would be like asking to "define Boeing" on an article for a site about airplanes.
I know a couple of people who make it work without at-home charging. So I don't think it's as big of a deal as people make it out to be. Most grocery stores have chargers, as do a lot of office complexes, hotels, fitness centers, etc.

There's 70 public chargers within a 10 minute drive of my house. I think that outnumbers gas stations, but they are hard to count on google maps. So people who are living in high density areas probably have a lot of charging options near by.
> The Adderall shortage is 100% the governments fault.

A balanced, reasoned view if ever there was one.

New Adderall prescriptions _doubled_ in 2021 from the previous year. No one in favor of eliminating/increasing the caps seems eager to account for this.

At the end of 2022, months into the shortage, manufacturers collectively had 77,000 lbs of the active raw ingredient on hand (allotment of which is the thing subject to quotas), but naturally no share of the fault goes to them!

> theyve shut down multiple producers for absolute bullshit such as "had an extra copy of the regulatory paperwork"

I'm guessing this is in reference to Ascent keeping two copies of DEA Form 222, in which case I find your framing to be pretty dishonest.

https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/adderall-shortage-ad...

"The government learned that Ascent kept two sets of DEA Form 222 — a standard regulatory form that tracks every batch of raw material that enters a factory and every finished pill that is shipped out. Ascent’s employees maintained one set of what the company called “working” 222s and one set of “official” ones that it filed to the government."

Sounds like keeping two sets of books to me.

How did people ever survive school 20 years without such an ability?

There is an easy solution that could be implemented. Kids can go to the office during lunch or a break and request their phone. They can send their message and then give back their phone.
I am reminded of Paul Kingsnorth's _The Basilisk_: https://emergencemagazine.org/fiction/the-basilisk/ (Quick read, styled after the Screwtape Letters, but about the internet)

Some quotes:

>"Something else is happening. It is as if these screens are a portal to something. As if something is using them to get to us: to change, to remake, to control us."

...

>"There is a reason they call it “the web,” Bridget; a reason they call it “the net.” It is a trap. We have built the means of our own enslavement, at their suggestion. Now we are all carrying a portal to the underworld in our back pockets and handbags, and we are entirely unguarded against whoever chooses to step through it."

...

>"It’s not demons messing with our minds, Uncle. It’s fairies. ... They steal children, Uncle! That was what grabbed me. ... The fairies would steal babies and leave fairies in their places, and there would always be something strange, something lost about them."

...

>"That’s the thing, you see, Uncle. Fairies aren’t like demons. They’re not evil. They mind their own business, and they usually leave people alone unless they’re offended. But we’ve gone and cut down their thorns on a global scale. So what if they’re driving us mad on the same scale?"

...

>"If this is the revenge of the nature spirits, Uncle, maybe they’re winning—and maybe they should be. We’ve got power way beyond our ability to control it. We can’t even control ourselves. Maybe it’s better this way."
You wouldn't want to confuse my cautiousness with failure. My system works, but:

(1) It doesn't beat the market on green market days or overall. Given how the market has been since October 2023, you'd do a lot better by just holding an ETF.

(2) It does make money on red market days too.

(3) Overall it does earn and is successful, but I express caution because I think that at least four consecutive years of success is necessary before labeling a strategy successful. I haven't run it for that long.

(4) I keep doing experiments, several of which turn out to be failures, although I have done enough of them already, and I'd like to move on to something else now.

(5) I don't see the future, but I adapt to it. I cannot promise you that this will always work, that it won't blow up.

> Given the possible winnings and bad players lose their chips to good ones and retire what skill level do you suppose is on the other side of this game?

There are all levels of skills and of time horizons. Those with bad skills either quit or adapt. Others just have to hold for longer to see profit.

> I view it as an effort to construct a perpetual motion machine.

The reason why the market is viewable from the perspective of a perpetual motion machine is due to excessive federal moneyprinting shaking things up. If not for it, if dollars were backed 1:1 by hard assets like gold, I think it'd be a lot calmer.

> How long till they claim to have success

It took me a year to come up with a strategy that looked to work, but another year to simplify it to the bare essentials and to decrease risk where I could.

Being open-minded, faithful, and steadfast are essential prerequisites to discovery. If you mind is already made up, that would make you like everyone else.
No? You've been able to do that here for a decade.
That's fine with me. We can then let that "debt" linger until it is bought up by some company willing to settle for pennies on the dollar
I get what you're getting at, but LLMs aren't thinking machines. They literally just rearrange and regurgitate text that they've been trained on or have contextualized. How would you propose building a general purpose LLM that accomplishes what you're saying? How do we build a machine that is able to divine scientific truth from human outputs?
Of course, there is no single code coverage metric. Code covered by unit tests does not count towards code covered by integration tests. They are completely separate systems. And, at least in Beck's opinion, should be carried out by completely different teams.

Most homeless people don't get food stamps. Programs like food stamps usually require someone to have a mailing address, which can be difficult to establish if you are homeless. Some people think you can just go get a PO Box or third party mailbox, but you can't. The USPS requires you to have a physical address to get a PO Box, and third party mailboxes that want to accept USPS mail delivery have to apply the same standard.
Executives are not owners. They may not own anything. An owner could also be a plumber working for himself. That's not at all like Jack Welch.

To my limited understanding, Friedman's approach to workers was we should make it so competitors can spring up, as your best job security and working conditions and salaries come from the existence of other companies. And additionally that when companies do well, their customers (also most non-management workers for most companies) get better and/or cheaper products, as people are customers of other businesses as well as employees of their own company.
I always say ‘I’ve never done that before but how hard could it be?’. I've been doing it for 30 years, and it's resulted in so many products and so much expertise.

Not really, I loved a local new independent provider that strung its own fibre around, but moved out of that building :(

They were particularly great because they didn’t (at the time) do phone or tv, just pure solid internet. No legacy industry to protect by limiting torrents or gb/month limits (fuck you Bell Canada).

A lot (most?) new EVs support 200+kW charging and there are quite a lot of 400kW chargers around already.
Honestly kinda surprised how quick people are with the old malthusian trap arguments - weird how they still hold that much sway when it hasn't really panned out.
Maybe I cant remember right, but IIRC any IDE in use there (same ones as outside, there's nothing special) had a setting for tabs vs. spaces / indentation size

And yes, that doesn't help you if ex. your style is a blank line following every code line.

In practice, it works, I surmise because people are fine with someone else's code being in a different style, but they want to write in their style.
With all this effort required (as the author points out), I start to wonder if a better solution is to communicate via RPC over local sockets.

There will be some overhead, but it might be a wash considering calling over a FFI often involves similar overhead to marshall / unmarshall objects. And the simplicity gains would be massive.
It's only not in your favor if you changed your card to cancel Netflix specifically, in which case you should've just logged in and canceled.
So, basic needs are just food clothing and shelter? Mental and physical healthcare is off the table in this scenario? Does the quality of the shelter come into play here? Do people get AC and guaranteed 68 degree temperatures and hot days?

You’ve missed an entire half of the question.

I would love to live in the Star Trek Utopia but you have only attacked my questions as predatory without addressing the whole foundation that is being proposed for this society. People will always be people and there will always be a need for someone to do an undesirable job. When all other jobs are out-competed for, that still leaves someone to either do the undesirable job or just accept basic minimums. The undesirable jobs might change, but the inequality will still be there.

I don't know, the apps seem pretty seamless to me these days.

I sign in to the apps with SSO (usually Apple, sometimes Google), so I don't need to "make" an account.

And I pay with Apple Pay which is already set up in my phone too.
That doesn't make the programmed parts any less abstract, though. That the system as a whole contains physical parts just makes it easier to schematize the system as a whole, not necessarily each individual part by itself.
Yes and no. Something can exist as a fact of the universe but still be unknowable. i.e. some hypothetical oracle could measure the quantum states of all human brains and ascertain what true objectivity looks like.

Regular mortals can have any certainty about this dbut espite the logical neccessity that this fact "exists" in some sense.

I think we're essentially also talking about the Overton Window to some degree. But that means you need to be OK with the thought that a sudden rise in extremism on one side of the political spectrum can alter the what you personally have to regard as "neutral and objective".
Carbon credits are rarely audited and often do not truly offset the amount of carbon they claim to capture.

If externalities were important to the economists, after many decades, there would be a high sense of urgency to model the most important processes and assimilating them into the theory, but after many decades all the work has been put into how to eat the pale blue dot and turn it into money, an abstract concept that won't be useful when the worldwide famines start.
I agree to an extent, and found it idiotic how strict they were about kids being accompanied to/from his primary school for that matter. But that secondary school was in an area where even I was skeptical about having him have no way of getting hold of us, not so much for safety, as because it'd take fairly little disruption for it to get complicated for him to make his way home in a reasonable time due to odd bus routes. And some kids have health issues - e.g. my son has struggled with various issues with his knees - where you don't want them facing a 1.5h-2h walk home if busses are messed up etc.
I'd love to see the stats about how many books purchases happen on Amazon because they're referred to from openlibrary.org (which has Amazon links on all pages).

I think the 1 hour loan available for so many books on IA feels pretty similar to standing in a bookstore and reading for a little while. You get an idea if the book is worth your time and if you really like it you'll probably want to buy it somewhere that you can easily annotate it and maybe even pass it on to the friend.

The amounts might be vaster than most, but it’s hard to imagine that any profession doesn’t have enough free resources online that can get you into it.

The big difference with software engineering is that you can just do it, similar to writing or design or animation or anything that is just you creating some output. In contrast, even if you learn everything you need to know about being a lawyer online you’ll still need to go to law school and pass the bar.
I guess your biggest issue may be the multiple writer problem, but you'd have the same issue on a local disk. The second multiple writer are supposed to update the same files, you'll run into issues.

There already exists quite a bit today. I've seen multiple locations where there's 4-8 dispenser heads (chargers) located in the corner of an already normal highway-sized (i.e., ~8 pump) gas station with a medium sized convenience store. Takes up very little space compared ot the gas station pumps.

For places like Bucees (which is basically a small grocery store in size), 20 minute charges are pretty reasonable. By the time you walk to the store, use the bathroom, browse the goods, and stand in line for checkout, you're easily near 20 minutes. If anything, it seems beneficial for a place like Bucees since you're incentivized to spend a bit more time browsing and buying stuff.
That is a fairly good reason for trying to use external systems/tools that make testing easy/cheap to do.

So a good approach would be to have tests where you can run with the mock and then run the same tests with the real system. Anything you catch with the mock saves you from using the costly system but you still get real testing.

Don't trust cancelling your card either. I closed my account at Capital One, paid the final balance, and six months later I noticed a steep drop in my credit score. I had a $3 monthly charge that kept recurring even though I had closed my account.

Also, because my account was "closed," I didn't receive any statements notifying me that I was being charged. I only discovered this issue when my credit score dropped by 100 points.
Anti-Pattern is a word that sounds smart and educated, but is rarely used against something that does not have a legit use case.

This article did not change my opinion on the subject.

The word anti-pattern is confusing in itself. "Anti" is usually a prefix for something that battles or goes against the word that it prefixes.

In my opinion a better word be a hostile or adverse pattern.
Haidt is a reactionary who makes grandiose conjectures about the Kids These Days with little real scientific evidence to back them up. He's the same guy who threw a fit over safe spaces in colleges and made them out to be a way bigger deal than the were/are.
I agree that teachers should be able to enforce discipline in schools.

With that said, I've got no idea what schools should do about things like sexting.

If I was a teacher and I confiscated a phone which might have illegal photos of underage students on it, I wouldn't want to turn a blind eye to that. But I also sure as hell wouldn't want to search it myself. I'd want that done by someone of unimpeachable character.
with [1], you already said it. iPads serve that function. Have these really improved classroom education, or is it just a more convoluted, fidgety way to get through the materials?

> There is no reason that a students phone couldn't become the world's most amazing educational too

Or, some new, advanced technology exists, therefore, because it is new and advanced, it needs to be applied. This is an affliction.
In my view that is a distinction without a meaningful difference.

Completely disagree -- the decision to heed Russia's request and not issue the MAPs to George and Ukraine in 2008 (where the matter has stayed ever since) was an important de-escalatory step and hugely significant. As Putin's sockpuppet Medvedev said at the time: "Reason has prevailed".

The rest of the stuff about what might have happened had they been issued and accepted gets into the realm of hypotheticals, which is not my turf.
NMC batteries are already common in EVs. I’d bet that it’s the most common chemistry by far. Most Teslas have NMC batteries for example, with the shorter range ones more recently moving to LFP.

The trade-offs you list are real, but we already have data showing NMC batteries lasting many miles (1,000 cycles at 250 miles per cycle is a long way) and fire risks of EVs have already been shown to be many times less than ICE vehicles.
