This kind of thing used to scare me - once you're booked into the system, they can literally stab you with an injection to make you behave in whatever way they want to portray you in court. And that's just if they're outright malicious.

Worse, they might instead be entirely earnest in their belief that you need to take that particular pill, that makes your misdiagnosed condition worse.
I don't know nearly enough to make a firm claim here but I don't think what you're describing sounds like a definitive counter example.
There's a big difference between giving lower level employees creative freedom and letting c level executives have free roam over their domain with little oversight or Founder involvement.
It almost sounded like a rope on a flag pole banging against the pole in the wind. Except, you know... space winds... Eep.
It’s not a fantasy, because a lot of people who move to the city, are from the country. People don’t care about every inch of life being surveillance free. They care about their square being a bastion for themselves.
If we're talking about US healthcare, you can just point a finger to any one of those companies at random.

Hospital chains, big pharma, insurance companies, retirement care.

Think Sackler-family stuff. It's all designed to extract the maximum possible amount of money from the patient, while providing as little as possible.
What people don't get is that mild "censorship" is desirable even under common Libertarian ideologies.

The general rule is that you have the freedom to do and say whatever you want as long as you don't harm others.

Unrestricted free speech simply does not exist and any free society will have mild censorship, otherwise a lot of terrorists, criminals and fraudsters could defend themselves under free speech.
> I’m always going to side with stopping people from suicide until they’ve had a chance to be mentally sound enough to make an informed decision.

The problem is that “mentally sound” is partially defined as not wanting to die. It doesn't matter how stable and coherent you are, as long as you keep saying “on net, I don't feel like my life has been worth living and I would prefer to end it painlessly if I could”, they will not let you out. Getting out is a process of learning the lies you need to tell the doctors and nurses.
This is a failure of imagination.

Looking around, some countries are starting to want more identifying information for registrants. This would take the form of a national id number or passport id number for individuals, or a company id number for companies.

In this case, it doesn't look like a local presence requirement (which you can often look around and find a registrar which includes local presence as an add-on or baked into the price), but just a requirement for a number that they're unlikely to validate at this time.

If it were me, I'd let them have my US social security number. Everyone else has it, no big deal. Unless you intend to a) post content that may be illegal or objectionable in Albania on this domain and b) plan to visit Albania, I don't think there's a lot of risk. But if you do a, I'd think you're risking losing your domain anyhow.

I know a fair number of people and most of them do visibly struggle with what is right or wrong at times. Cooperation is very much a mainstay of human behavior. Or of course some people believe that what is good is also in their own interest, long term and considering the effect posing what you believe is wrong has on your own self. They do things believing them to be good and also in their interests. But they certainly
don't ignore what is good.

Short of academic languages like D, nothing faithfully implements the relational model. Some compromises are necessary to make it useful for practical applications, hence SQL.
Some theories about what makes the founder mode effective:

1. It's about incentives. If I own substantial equity of a company and I consider it "my child", the reward for doing a good job will be much greater than if I was a hired manager. The reward is not just financial but also self-worth and reputation.

2. Selection bias. When we talk about "founders", we really mean founders that have built successful companies. This criterion selects only those founders that are remarkably good at their jobs. They are good CEOs in general and also good fits for their specific companies.

3. Deep knowledge of the company and the business. For example, they remember all of the things that were tried but didn't work.

4. They are much more willing to shape the company and have a high degree of control. If I'm a hired CEO, I'm managing someone elses organization, it doesn't feel ok to make drastic changes. My mental setting is that I'm trying to please my boss (shareholders, board). I'm not willing to tinker and try something with a high risk of failure, I want to manage someone else's property seriously and responsibly.
Gregor Hohpe – Thinking Like an Architect
I don’t understand why you would migrate anything to Wordpress.

Wordpress, to me, seems like the platform you start on. Easy to get up and running.

But when you get a mature product, you need something with better performance. I hate to say it, but anything with a plug-in architecture is always going to be slower than a custom stack.

I wonder how performance will be affected after the move.

Well said. I think Einstein himself used the same kind of analogous thinking to guide his intuition, and wouldn’t have been nearly as successful as he was without allowing himself this sort of unbounded thinking. In the end, however, he proved these intuitions true or false with the light of math.
> control over which citizens go to university and where they can live

I am pretty sure Chinese citizens are allowed to live where they can afford and they are allowed to go to university if they score well enough on the public tests. Just like in Europe.

If you are talking about the random arrests that happens in China, that is due to the undemocratic authoritarian regime and corruption, not due to central planning.
I was given a 7800 out of my wife's grandfather's estate last year, along with an assortment of around thirty 2600 and 7800 games.

As a 32-year-old who cut my teeth on a hand-me-down NES, it's been interesting to look back and see just how much more primitive its competition was. Even the games that were released on both platforms (Xevious comes to mind) were much better-looking and easier to play on the NES.
Great question. While apps like SpotHero & ParkWhiz either don't allow individual users to make listings or have very limited functionality, Parkt focuses entirely on that. Additionally, the app is intended to be as simple as possible to use. If you check it out, it takes just 2 clicks to find & reserve a spot vs 6+ on other apps. The end goal is to minimize the time spent on the app while providing as much value as possible (if that makes sense). Everything from the way the app is designed, the way reservations are created, & more was done with the user in mind.

The marketplace model also encourages competitive pricing in contrast to price-fixing present in most parking lots by lowering barriers to entry.

A main concern starting out was the high involvement for users in selling parking spots. With Parkt, it takes less than 5 minutes to setup & list a spot. After that, there's very limited involvement. Parkt handles promotion, scheduling, reservations, and payments, which pay out directly to the seller's bank account. Additionally, the exact location/address of a spot is only shown to after a user has already made a reservation. This mitigates a bit of the risk of random people parking in spots.

Basically, the app is designed to be as seamless as possible for sellers and buyers.

Hope this answers some of your questions! Sorry if it's a bit long.

Speaking from personal experience: tt depends on what level of a musician you aim to become. If you intend to be one of the top classical solo musicians (violin, cello, piano, flue etc.) you will have to practice 8h a day - every day - for years. Even if you "only" aim for a top position on a major orchestra.

I agree that SQL ain't great.

You can model relations in your language without using SQL. (You could have a mapper from your internal modelling of joins etc to how you talk to your database.)

In eg Haskell that works really well, but other languages are also flexible enough.

Like how many people do you reckon work with "a truly competent chemist" in their life? A knee-jerk Google search quoted me approx. 100 000 people working as a chemist in the States, compared to approx. 135 040 000 people working a full time job in general. That's 0.07% of the workforce being chemists. Of which who knows how many fit your bill of being a "truly great chemist", and then who knows how many people get a chance to work with them. The number of people who should be able to tell how good of a chemist he is is orders of magnitude lower than the views on any one of his videos.

Comments like yours always baffle me.
I think it's related to the job market atm. Everyone is hired in a stretch position at very high comp. This is true for VPs, directors, ICs etc. Because of this it's less viable than it was as a manager to be fully hands off.
As the article says, very simple, Drunk Driving Laws. In the "old days (tm)", anything went in the US, back then it was mayhem on the roads, with hardly no penalties (if you were white).

The city where I grew up (~90,000 people), there were many night clubs and bars, almost one on every corner. People from outside the city would drive there for their night life.

Then the Laws were enforced and changed with very severe penalties. Now, just about all clubs and bars are gone. But, cafes seem to have become a thing in the center of town.

FWIW, I do not miss the "bar" days at all.
"episode"? You're casually dismissing the Cultural Revolution to argue for non-interference. I don't think you're making the point you hope to make.

Absolutely somebody should have intervened if possible to halt that madness.

you are responding to a comment that started by justifying parasitism. To make an effective counter argument along the lines you've chosen, you need to address that part of the comment and explain why parasites in nature don't "deserve" to exist, or at least show that they are also unethical. That is/ought to be something easy to prove, right?
This story is an incredible illustration of incentives gone wrong.

The affordable care act mandated that insurance companies cover mental health. Psychiatric hospitals can charge insurers $2,200/day for holding patients who "pose an imminent threat to themselves or others".

So now you get this:

> Once Acadia gets patients in the door, it often tries to hold them until their insurance runs out.

> Acadia goes to great lengths to convince insurers that the patients should stay as long as possible, often around five days.

> To do that, Acadia needs to show that patients are unstable and require ongoing intensive care. Former Acadia executives and staff in 10 states said employees were coached to use certain buzzwords, like “combative,” in patients’ charts to make that case.

I think there's a property which is hard to describe. But i've seen the opposite property countless times at companies. People, and leaders who are building "cool demos". Things that tell a great story, but somehow never materialize into any material revenue for the company. I've seen these guys move up into higher and higher positions, and yet the projects they build are simply great stories. The higher up the org you go, you'll find leaders who have refined this expertise into a really compelling, really easy to follow along story. But it just never materializes into revenue, and half the time it doesn't even materialie into a real product.

I think what founders know, but what managers do not, is the formula. They're missing one of the key components. The perspective of your customer (what their business is, and the understanding of what is and what isn't important to them), and an understanding of how to deliver it (what capabilities does your customer have, how do they like to do business), and finally a perspective on how to deliver that value (an expertise in product).

Many people are experts at "delivering" or they're experts at understanding their customers PoV, or they're experts at understanding how to do business with those customers. VERY FEW "professionals" have all 3... but you can tell a great story to other non-experts using only 2 of the points, and making up a reasonable sounding point for #3. Or worse, they become experts on selling to YOU (the founder) how to do these things.

The police department won’t have sophisticated government drones for at least another 20 years, that is if expensive drones prove to be worth the effort and cost to allow civilian level law enforcement to have one.

I assumed the nuance there would be nitpicked (as the thread proves) which is why I didn’t post this but I’m glad you did.

This famine is the expected result of 20 years of post-colonialist civil war, which the article goes on to explain lightly.

The economist is a capitalist magazine, so they of course are going to choose terms which resonate with capitalists.

The majority in this thread look at this situation as a failure of “valid liberal government” rather than the results of capitalist colonialism, which is what it is.

Colonialist resource extraction by Western powers, exemplified by companies like Chevron, exacerbated ethnic and regional tensions in Sudan and Darfur by prioritizing profits over local communities.

Specifically Chevron's involvement in Sudan's oil industry during the 1970s and 80s led to the displacement of populations and the allocation of resources to specific ethnic groups, heightening grievances and competition over land and wealth.

The infrastructure and political systems left by colonial powers were designed to facilitate such extraction, rather than fostering equitable development, creating a legacy of economic disparity and weak governance. This upended centuries of pastoral farming, and created conditions for this massive civil war, as marginalized groups rebelled against a state that was perceived as both complicit in and shaped by foreign exploitation.

"Political" is anything related to inter-personal power in society, and can be anything from maintaining a homeowner's association bylaws to international spy-craft and assassinations, and is so broad as to be unavoidable in human behaviour.

"Political affiliation" is much narrower and comes with a specific named politician or political party — even if they're not going to get in, such as Lord Buckethead or the Green Party of America.

It's been a year and half.
I’ve seen a huge drop in the last 15 years. I was a bartender long ago. Made good money. When I talk with bartenders now, they say it’s way harder to make a living, people don’t stay out as late or go out as much anymore, less tips and even then inflation kinda jacked that up for people. All in all it sounds pretty tough and none of them seem to enjoy it.

I guess I also stopped going out too though. It was the people. I just grew to not like the us population in general in public spaces. So I went from an always out guy to over the last 10 years a never goes out guy. Hmm.

...letting c level executives have free roam over their domain with little oversight or Founder involvement.

I agree with you, I think. pg's point was that "Steve Jobs Mode" is the opposite of founders letting their C-level execs roam free. I don't agree.

I think the improved model is "free roaming managers with lots of transparency and accountability."

"Free roaming" and "no accountability" are a recipe for disaster.

But a CEO/exec/manager who reaches 2, 3, or more levels into their org and gives specific direction is a recipe for mismanagement. It violates the golden rule: don't create a role with two bosses.
I think it's pretty clear that commuting 1000 miles by private jet very easily puts you in the top 0.1% of individual polluters even by Western standards. They emit like 2 tonnes of CO_2 in an hour and the average American does like 14 tonnes in an entire year. So even if only goes to Seattle once a week that's like 8 tonnes (assuming 500 MPH flying speed, roundtrip). Every two weeks he's emitting what an average American does, JUST COMMUTING.
