One note, if you’re working for a top AI company in China, your quality of life other than work hours is already good enough to not to want to leave. It’s not 1990s/2000s anymore. Urban life in China, excluding pandemic times, is better than urban life in the states.

The same applies to other sectors as well. Top talent is genuinely valued in China.
I would love to have a bit more detail on why this is a non-starter, though I appreciate it’s likely that the answer is too complicated for a layperson to really understand.
OTOH we’re educating engineers and then not letting them stay. Like chinas worried about having talent poached (or controlled in some way) and here’s Australia providing
world class education and demanding they go back afterwards.

WaterFox really seems to want to cater to the non-technical crowd with their "trust us" front page with zero details about how their alleged privacy features work, nor even links to the details. The use of JavaScript on the site makes me trust them even less.
I'm sure there are such people, but doubt they are many. Most people don't like dealing with upstair-neighbor noises, waiting for elevators or walking up long flights of stairs, not being able to make music/tv noise whenever you want, not having space (indoor or outdoor),etc... Not once have I ever heard of a person complain how they wish they could live in an apartment instead of a house. I'm sure it happens, but seeing the topic is about housing strategies for the masses, the views of the majority should be taken into account.
You might care to specify what exactly your argument is then, as I'd formed a similar conclusion.

The Jungle led to an era of reform over nearly a century in which laissez faire and caveat emptor were displaced, largely to positive results, by appropriate regulation.

That regulatory turn had been opposed, increasingly dismantled since the Reagan administration, and in the past month and some has been outright dynamited. The consequences are beginning to show.

If that is your argument, it would benefit by more precise communication.
Vitamin A neither prevents nor cures measles.
There’s certain identify verifications checks online that require you give the real answer. Things like pulling your own credit report.

> Does anyone think Congress can create a law that enables the legislative or judicial powers to be exercised by employees independent of the control of the constitutional actors in which those powers are vested?

Yes.

Apart from the specific enumerated executive powers in Article II, Sections 2 and 3, the "executive power of the United States" is whatever the Congress says it is. If Article II Section 1 had been intended as a preemptive, unitary-executive grant, there'd have been no reason to enumerate specific powers.

As has been remarked, there's a reason Article I (concerning Congress) comes first.

Those large pancakes sound like Belgian crepes.
First - "poverty" is up to $14k per year. Many of those people are "poor" - but probably not the majority, and definitely not even close to all.

Second, billionaires have almost $7T in wealth - the top .1% are at about ~$20T.

They didn't get any meaningful percentage of that by taking pennies off of 45M. You'd need to take thousands. And they just don't have it. That's almost $450k per "poor" person.

That's more than the median HH wealth in the US.

If you look at the "actual poor" - you're likely looking >$1M per person.

You simply cannot "steal" that from the "poor" (who have almost nothing to steal, by definition).

Even if you amortize that over decades - it is just not how it happened.

I agree with you 100%.

In the maker-checker process, if we are imagining a future where AI will be writing/editing most of the code, the AI-code-review tools will need to integrate within its agentic process.

And the job of a better code-review interface (like the one that I am trying to build) would be to provide a higher level of abstraction to the user so that they can verify the output of the AI code generators more effectively.
and they want to live there because they don't like near-by houses? I'd imagine single family housing in manhattan would cost 10x what an apartment costs. Even brown stone housing in new york is more expensive than similarly sized/located apartments (if you call brown stones proper housing even).

18F and USDS always hired a mix of people, but I can tell you that I personally know a number of former colleagues and associates who worked for these organizations, writing code and architecting systems to solve real problems.

This is only true for "development branch" CRs/pull requests. The whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Every small change in the feature that you are building might make complete sense, so every dev-to-feature branch pull request would get approved easily.

But if you not also reviewing the feature-to-main branch pull request, you are just inviting problems. That is a bigger CR that you should review carefully, and there is no way that could be a small CR.

Suppose a country had very low rates of depression, and another had very high rates. Is that just brain chemistry? Or does maybe one country have problems that cause many people to have depression? Or to push subclinical tendencies into clinical territory?

The US is that but for obesity. Yes, absolutely some individuals have brain chemistry that predisposes them to this.

But also maybe it's related to the cheapest and easiest forms of food being McDonald's-tier shit and 64oz beverages that are literally so much sugar that it would be unpalatable were it not dissolved in acid and carbonated?

The US isn’t even the top 9. Obesity is a global epidemic of Western disease. The food isn’t the cause, it’s the symptom of the brain chemistry. If it isn’t available, yes, the disease may not present. But if available, due to hormones causing the drive, it presents. Like cigarettes (nicotine), like cocaine, like alcoholism. Same reward center.

Are we more likely to give GLP-1s to everyone? Or outlaw calorie dense, nutrition lacking products? I argue the former, based on all available evidence.

Disabling features, possibly at the hardware level with e-fuses is far more straightforward than trying to allow one sort framebuffer capture (screenshots) but not another (video recording).

> I just genuinely don't understand how people are surviving with the diets they describe.

Because obese folks have stored energy reserves. The body is really good at adapting and using them.

I was attempting to be at a 1k/day calorie deficit during my peak weight loss phase. I typically met or beat this target, usually eating around 1200-1600 calories/day plus a lot of walking - 25k steps/day minimum as an absolute non-negotiable. I'd check my step counter before bed, and put pants back on and go for a "midnight" walk if I was under my count for the day.

The first few weeks were quite hard, but it was pretty smooth sailing after that. Lots of naps. After that I was tired some days, but not overly so. I peaked at about 30lbs/mo weight loss for ~3 months, then tapered off to 5-10lbs/mo for my final 30ish I had to lose.

I don't really suggest anyone else attempt to "crash" their program like I did - but it's how my brain operates. I need immediate and obvious results, and those turn into a feedback loop for me. Being a bit more tired each day was perfectly acceptable for the goals being achieved.

That said - I wish I had started resistance training when I started my dieting program. I took it up at the very end of my weight loss, and it took me about 9mo to get back to roughly the same lean muscle mass as I had before I lost weight. I'm still working on min/maxing body comp about 18mo later.

The best weight loss program is the one that works for you. Pretty much full stop. It's going to be highly individualized. Some folks will do much better with a small deficit for a few years, but I know from experience that would never work for me.

I think a lot of the stuff you see on-line about "forgetting to eat dinner" is exaggerated and folks starting off on the drugs being amazed at it. Very few people will post a "well, I'm a bit less hungry" type of result. Everyone I know on them eventually became somewhat habituated to this sort of effect, but everyone is highly different. For me, I considered Tirzepatide a performance enhancing drug for my diet. I still went to bed hungry most nights - it was just far easier to chain together days and weeks of doing so on the drug vs. off. It still took a lot of willpower and habit building for me to pull it off at that level.
GLP-1 drugs also manipulate our natural systems. It's not a panacea. There are early indications of increased suicidal ideation in cohorts that take this drug. Caveat emptor
Please, flash would have sucked on phones. Even if the battery on the original iPhone could have stood the strain, none of the flash games that existed at the time would have been any fun at all on the phone's tiny screen.

A good example of where things lie today is StyScrapers[1] - a flash-like game completely implemented in HTML - not in a canvas but with div elements controlled by the physics engine. It runs smoother and uses the browser much better than flash ever could.

The issue here isn’t the telemetry itself but the fact that it’s making builds slower.

I think Xcode is pretty inefficient and Apple makes assumptions about computer and internet speed that mask these issues for them. I once tried opening a project on a network volume and it was unusable because for some reason Xcode is constantly using the disk, which you probably would never notice on a project stored locally on an SSD.
I think the main criticism of DOGE is that there seems no deliberation at all. They cut whatever Musk and friends don't personally like or what they don't understand after 10 minutes looking at it. Such an effort should be a long careful process, not a hit and run job.

Ha ha, yeah, for sure. It is easy to tell the Python code coming from an experienced C programmer. The thing about Python is, you can just give C a semi-colon-ectomy and it pretty much works. But it isn't Python... it took me a while to get completely pickled in the Python way of doing things. Ramalho's book did more than anything to put my brain into Python mode.
>If we’re talking about an average population, the authors premise doesn’t make sense if you look beyond one generation. It sort of feels like the author is jealous of someone else’s inheritance, and wrote this article to complain about it.

Mozilla is telling you they can collect the data. Whether or not they are right now is not relevant. Mozilla is informing you that you have agreed to them collecting all of this data. They now have the right to collect and transmit said data at any point.
Right. But that's my whole point, you're agreeing with me.

It's not the food itself. The food isn't being "manipulated" in some sinister, unnatural way. It's not about supposedly addictive "dopamine pathways".

It's other things, whether convenience or advertising or whatever.
Incorrect. Their goal is to dissolve these agencies, to reduce regulation that burden certain industries.

I think our Kiwisaver is more like the US's 401k. We also have NZ Super, which you start getting at 65, and isn't asset tested (yet). But most can't live on just NZ Super.
Though some living frugal and have paid off their house, do live within super, even some renters living do make it work, but it's very bare bones.

While our NZ Super isn't asset tested, our residential care subsidy (elderly care) is asset tested, and is very expensive. When you get old and don't die suddenly, then it's likely your assets you've accumulated over the years will be used to pay for your care (though there are some way around it, but not usually cost effective unless you have a large amount of assets).

But, the elder care the govt gives you (if you can't afford it aka no assets), isn't very pleasant, so you really should plan for it while you're working age, and have investments large enough to cover the costs (which most in NZ don't do).

I don't think we have insurance here that covers elder care.

I believe the guys across the ditch (Australia), have a better retirement system setup. While in NZ our Kiwisaver by default contributions are 6% (total. 3% employer, 3% employee), been this since it started just about, while in Aussie, the current min default total is 11%.
Though Aussie's govt supported retirement payments are asset tested, where as they aren't in NZ.

I think having a higher min default is probably best for everyone, as most people don't change from the default.
Sorry that's happened. How long ago? Do you think there's a chance it might still be straightened out?

BTW, you probably know this, but just for HN: some of the vendors and shoppers will be calibrated a bit differently than average, so there might be miscommunication, or awkwardness, or different conventions, to get past.

A few years ago at Swapfest, a friend and I met up there, as vendors were packing up, and one of the vendors in the parking garage was having trouble starting their truck, dead battery. So, maybe because my friend thought the vendor might be averse to asking for help, she quietly went and asked another nearby vendor with a vehicle, if they could give a jump, and they cheerfully did.

(Friend is a former military officer, who had also gone to MIT, and who exemplifies some of the best of tech industry leadership, including Knowing Your Nerds.)
