Can those people who wash your windshield at red lights actually make you pay?

If your neighbor leaves their door unlocked while they’re at work, can you go change the locks (for their safety!) and bill them for your time?

No, of course not. Why would you be able to bill for a service that you weren’t asked to provide?

The efforts will inherently destabilize the US which, for some, will be a really massive gift and this administration will be praised both externally and internally. That will close the feedback loop since that’s primarily what motivates this administration.
1. This isn't a single corp, it is multiple corps. For a sense of scale, MSFT alone spent ~$55B in Capex last year. Check out this[1] for a sense of how much different industries spend each year. Note that this will cross several industries including Power, Telecom, Software, electrical equip, etc.

2. There is no commitment to spend in a single year

3. There is no actual contractual commit here, this is a press release (i.e. Marketing)

4. There is not actually a $500B pile of gold being spent. This is more of a "this is how big we think this industry will be and how much we may spend to get exposure to that industry"

Get involved with local politics. Join community planning boards, go to city council meetings, and voice support for relaxing rules around zoning.

One of the small cities close to Seattle (Shoreline) just announced radical changes to their zoning laws! Change can happen. Right now Seattle is going through loud public debates over this, with NIMBYs going to meetings and shouting crazy accusations about what building more houses will do (recently: building dense housing will cause vitamin D deficiency...). Go spend an hour a month shouting back at them, it makes a real difference!

I like Jeff. Way back when, I was a front page posteron SO, and #1 on the C++ tag. I got really fed up with the whole SO thing and I asked Jeff to delete my account and all associated posts.

You seem to have Chesterton’s fence completely backwards.

Chesterton’s fence can never be an argument against creating something new.

The whole point of it is that if you come across a fence then that was the result of a conscious human decision and subsequent effort, which strongly implies there was a reason it was created, and until you understand what that reason was, you’re taking a risk by destroying the fence.

But if there is “nothing” and you’re creating something new, Chesterton’s fence doesn’t apply because the lack of existence of anything was not the result of intentional human design and effort, therefore there’s no evidence that the lack of existence of something “had a reason for it”.
This is downvoted, but its true.

> free college is just a giveaway to the wealthier third of our society and irresponsible with our current fiscal situation.

How is free college a giveaway to the wealthier third of society? For starters, I can assure you the wealthy care a lot about the name of the institution issuing the diploma, and they can afford it. They'll happily front extra cash so their kids can network with people of similar economic status.
I don't know if it would be a good or a terrible idea to have, as a last resort, a law entitling researchers to a reward for vulnerabilities, similar to laws that give someone who finds a lost item a right to a reward. Hopefully, in most cases it would not need to be invoked and the issue would be settled privately.

It is possible to self-host it on GCS, S3, etc. We used to pay for their cloud offering, but using GCS as a backend was much more performant than using their backend and extremely cheap (a few cents to dollars per month).
>"Their value should go down as they get older"

The average person needs a commodified asset that's useful to them from the onset - and builds value over time - in order to strengthen their possibility of upwards mobility now, and generational wealth in the future. A 401K does nothing for you in the 40 years you're accumulating it, a car depreciates substantially - as soon as after purchase, the stock market is oftentimes a playsake for the already well-off, there's simply nothing like housing for individuals in most sectors of the status quo "bell curve".

The venture was announced at the White House, by the President, who has committed to help it by using executive orders to speed things up.

OpenTofu with v1.9 [0] has for_each for providers, something that HashiCorp blocked me on their GitHub, because I kept insisting for them to implement it and they kept giving excuses! One of my points there they didn't like is that instead of improving Terraform and Terraform Cloud so that it can AT LEAST run their own CDKTF, they invested time in GUI development and other useless stuff.

They also implemented the proprietary Terraform Stacks, which only work in their overpriced product now rebranded to the ridiculous HCP Terraform!

So, kudos to OpenTofu, not only is it free and fast-moving, but it now has unique features, which we were begging HashiCorp for during the years and they neglected even requests from paying customers!

Another unique OpenTofu feature is that you can use variables in places you couldn't with Terraform, for example, in the backend config. Of course, HashiCorp didn't care about that, because you don't need that if you use their paid product!

I totally understand that HashiCorp needs to make money, but they switch to BUSL, because their competitors such as Spacelift, Scalr, env0, and others were offering better and sometimes cheaper offering. Yeah, "sometimes", because some of them came out to be more expensive than even HCP Terraform, unfortunately.

The switch to "terraforming under influence (of RUM)" that HashiCorp made is a sign of disoriented greed! Basically, it pushes you NOT to use Terraform. For example, I terraformed GitHub repos. So, after their switch of pricing model, I had to pay for every GitHub repository label, for thousands and thousands of niceties, which with the RUM (Resource Under Management) turned every label to costs us money, which easily accumulated to tens of thousands of dollars!

Also the fact that they're not going to invest $500B, and this is mostly a puff piece.

As Elon said, they don't the money.

$500B is not.
That's not how Chesterton's Fence works? The point isn't that the fence was always there. It's that people who try to dismantle the fence never bothered to learn why the fence was put up in the first place.

The fence could have been put up yesterday but if you never even bother to learn why the fence was put up before trying to remove it, that's still Chesterton's Fence.
> graph of the stocks for UnitedHealth, Elevance (formerly Anthem) and Cigna shows that they're all on the growth track for the last five years

Stock price ! profitability, but you're still correct. UnitedHealth's operations have churned out cash each of the last four years [1], as have Cigna [2] and Elevance [3]. Underwriting gains across the industry have been strong for years [4]. The only story I can think of where American health insurers lost money was Aetna with its underpriced ACA plans [5].

That said, whimsicalism is also partly right in that insurers aren't the cause of the unaffordability of American healthcare. They by and large pay out most of their premiums. (With some variance.)

We have to. Short of arguing on first-principles, agreeing on them, and then using those principles to evaluate everything done on both sides, this is one of the top mechanisms we have to bring a spotlight to the contradictory mess we have on our hands.

Personally, I blame lawyers and prosecutors. A law should be simple, easy to evaluate if it was broken, and always prosecuted. And when it comes to punishments, they should be explicit and without the possibility of being altered.

We've gotten too complacent with making all these arbitrary rules, then fiddling with their non-enforcement and severity by virtue of reduced sentences.
Signal claims to be a private, not anynomous, chat application.

Theirt defaults are set so they can get mass market addoption, whilst beeing a big step up in privacy compared to the usual players in the space (like whatsapp and telegram). You simply won't be able to get the average user on apps that make use more complicated and apps like simplex doe exactly that.

If you want Signal to be more secure, you can circumvent this attack vector by disableing auto downloads for media.

I'm not saying Signal is perfect, there has been a bunch to critisize over the years.

But why argue about use cases they never claimed to solve?

Chesterton's point wasn't that the fence should never move (which is what you seem to be implying), but that it should only be moved (or technically removed) when you understand why it was initially put in place.

I'm sympathetic to the idea that there is bloat and over-regulation, but most of the laws and regulations on the books are in response to a bad thing happening. It's kind of like a legacy code base - just deleting the repo and starting over from scratch is usually not the best idea, it takes some careful refactoring and judicious tests to move in the right direction.

It's sort of an interesting idea - what are "tests" in the context of the legal/regulatory framework? The constitution? The judiciary?
Pulumi is free: "Pulumi is true open source, uses the Apache 2.0 license, and does not and never will depend on BSL-licensed software in any way, HashiCorp owned or otherwise." (https://www.pulumi.com/blog/pulumi-hearts-opensource/)

Pulumi Cloud (the SaaS offering) is (mostly) not free. There is a free tier for individuals/companies with minimal needs.

You may happily use Pulumi and manage your own state files, for free, and open source.
Sort of? The aesthetics are almost certainly driven by other factors, including what phonemes are used. Is why "ya'll" is a word in the south. It isn't like we didn't know how to say "you all" or other similar words. Aesthetically, contracting those into a single word was more pleasant for many people.

So, my argument is that you are looking at the words and distinguishing the singular/plural aspect as driving why we say certain things. I'm saying that you can use a phoneme argument for why "there is a zero mark" sounds correct and meaningful, whereas "there is zero marking on this ruler" starts to stretch it.

That is, allow me to rephrase my assertion. Rather than saying there is an aesthetic argument, I'm asserting that the phonemes involved are a larger driver than is given credit. Often with grammar rules backfilled to solidify choices.

> In terms of small government, there is news about the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) every single day.

Just to be clear, all they did is rename the US Digital Service to the US DOGE Service. The Digital Service already existed; it hires tech workers from industry on short-term rotations to work on government projects. Now that thing that already existed is called DOGE, and it will continue to do nothing more than bring in industry engineers to make websites for the government. If there’s a “massive downsizing in the federal workforce,” it won’t be because of “DOGE.”
Immigrants from certain locations, which the vast majority of the waves of immigration we are getting in recent years, are net negatives in terms of budget impact, takers vs contributors to tax revenue. And yes, I agree with you on the perfectly logical and common sense position that welfare should be reserved for citizens.

Housing migrants in Hotels in US cities, paid for by citizen tax revenue, or guaranteed emergency health care, paid for by citizen tax revenue, among other examples are bad policy and unfair to Americans.
I'd argue that most useful non-trivial things we have figured out how to do have required thinking precisely about complex truths, language is a big part of that.

Sure of course, vibes are enough for operating decently as a human, which is all we need most of the time. But that's a very low bar, we are trying to do much harder things in science, engineering and business.

I agree that there tends to be a lot of pointless discussion on semantics in debate, which is why we tend to rely more on structured languages like maths notation or programming languages to make it practical to operate on really complex ideas. But natural language is all we have for many fields of thought, so some discipline is required to use it properly if you are trying to figure out something serious.

You made an important point though. If we want to do philosophy more seriously we reach for formal logic, at which point it becomes maths, or we do experiments, which is science. To an extent what call philosophy is the attempt to figure out complex truths using ill-defined language and no experimental verification, which is a loosing battle and quite annoying indeed.

Email is both cheap and very not cheap. Once you hit a moderate level of scale, the bill starts to add up. At LE's scale, I imagine it costs a lot to send out that email. If the value isn't there, then personally I'd rather they focus their funds on other efforts. Personally, I was saved by one email for a cert renewal that was failing, but the majority of them are irrelevant because of my automations.

Are these emails useful to people?
Donella Meadows' "Leverage Points" (also a chapter in her book Thinking in Systems: A Primer), particularly the #1 one (transcending paradigms), addresses some aspects of this. To relate to this essay, freeing yourself from the idea that structurelessness is what you need, or a strict hierarchy at the other extreme, or anything in between. After that, you're free to actually develop and select good ideas and trial ideas without being constrained by your initial paradigm and the magical thinking associated with locking yourself into a paradigm.

In the software world, check out Weinberg's The Psychology of Computer Programming which touches on these ideas (more about how to look at and examine systems, not prescriptive). The book was more of a starting point (or intended as such) so it's hardly comprehensive, but he looks at various organizational approaches within software teams and where they work and fail.

When I think about "civilization ending" events this kind of compute comes up since it seems more simple/more robust granted it can do much less than a modern computer. I also have heard of the argument at that time it doesn't matter, you can die from sepsis or whatever vs. trying to run a computer.

It is like witchcraft seeing someone produce VGA out with some raw/more tangible chips.

I also think about how like on an Arduino you can have a filesystem, make a makeshift notepad via printing/serial in.

Idk... same with RISC V, if a computer works to me do I care what's under the hood. Anyway I did take a course where you learned about flip-flops/registeres, design your own 8-bit ALU, etc... I can appreciate it again "tangible" vs. a single IC that does everything. It's like those cheap games where they have a single chip under a black blob.
