"With 4 out of 5 people keeping their flats, “Housing First” is effective in the long run. In 20 percent of the cases, people move out because they prefer to stay with friends or relatives – or because they don’t manage to pay the rent. But even in this case they are not dropped. They can apply again for an apartment and are supported again if they wish."

There are no preconditions, but there are conditions to maintain. In this case, rent being required apparently. This is the recipe for success that I've seen. And if they don't maintain the conditions they get kicked out with the opportunity to come back and try again.
Am I the only person who sees this as a negative? I don't want everything I do to be in the same place.

> Every colony is expected to earn, this is the history of colonialization.

The problem with a Martian (or even lunar) colony is that... there's not actually anything valuable there. So a traditional "earning" colony is basically off the table, and aside from the technological hurdles, is probably why the drive to do it just hasn't been there. Of our closes celestial neighbors, well, Venus is just useless entirely what with how hostile the atmosphere is to our... everything, Mars is quite far away, several months via current technology, and it's incredibly, devastatingly thin atmosphere and lower gravity means any given colony will require a lot and I do mean a LOT of support from us here on Earth to function. Colony isn't even really an appropriate word here, as colonization implies some level of living at the destination and between the lack of breathable atmosphere, lack of any and all flora, and lack of water, you're basically requiring regular supply drops or everyone is just dead.

Really the moon is far better in the transit aspect, which since you're supplying your colony from here, is a huge data point. And even then, what does that colony then do? The moon doesn't have much of anything we're really hurting for, certainly nothing to make up for the exorbitant cost of mining there. I could see it as a valuable location for low-G construction of larger, further-going spacecraft I suppose? But in terms of "expected to earn," I think either the red planet or our friend in the sky is going to be pretty dire.

And from what I've heard on the grapevine, life expectancy drops among those who retire relative to those that don't.

This is characteristic of acedia.

> There are strategic reasons why you may not want to help increase the manufacturing base of a national "competitor"

From what I can tell, the US is repositioning itself as a national "competitor" to Canada. Thus based on the article you linked, Canada should significant curtail its trade with the US and start to rely upon its own industries and that of its reliable allies (looking at Europe) for military and critical infrastructure. That said, trading non critical goods with China and other countries who have not taken an aggressive war posture with us makes sense as well.

Say what you will about China and their spying, but they have not actually treated to remove our sovereignty as the current leader of the US has [1]. In fact, China hasn't done anything even close to that.

Here's an interesting book to consider:

https://www.amazon.com/Advanced-Engineering-Mathematics-Math...

https://www.amazon.in/Advanced-Engineering-Mathematics-Mathu...

https://khannapublishers.in/index.php?route=product/product&...

(This sells in India for a mere US $4. Costlier elsewhere.)

Pros:

* This has the most exhaustive catalog of differential equations and methods to solving them that I have ever seen. An example would be the discussion on non-homogenous differential equations that I have never seen anywhere else at all.

* While the subject matter is not easy, the book is complete in itself. A reader would not be led into a "dependency hell" or worse a cyclic dependencies of other materials to read.

Cons:

* Very low quality typesetting, print and paper quality. I wish a improved edition could be in the pipeline, however, the book is rather out of print.

* The book is not focused on differential equations. The other material covered is however a bonus.

Note: The authors were professors at my engineering college. Am however not associated with them in any way and I have no vested interest in recommending the book.
> without Apple or the government having power over it

As we are talking about E2EE for cloud storage, governments have very much control over it as in banning the use certain software by law and applying it through ISPs and other means. Not saying I wouldn't prefer a scenario where there was indeed some degree of such choice, but that would not change anything if a government decides it does not want E2EE.

> Apples stance on E2EE is off by default

True E2EE in the context of cloud storage has also certain downsides that one should acknowledge, notably if you lose access to your keys your data is effectively gone. When we talk about a large userbase that includes people who do not have a good understanding of this fact (prob most people) and this choice is not made by themselves in a more conscious manner, this could be a headache for a company (and customer service). Go to subreddits of E2EE encrypted services and notice how often people come up with having forgotten their passwords thus effectively their keys and their data (and that's an audience making a more conscious choice) and not actually understanding that forgetting password + losing any recovery keys = loss of data and that proton cannot give them access back (if they could, there could not be much privacy there). I am not saying that E2EE is bad, but that it is not necessarily the best choice for everybody, and thus I have no issue with apple's opt-in approach.

> Is it reasonable to assume that the natural decline in cognitive performance over time is offset by the gains in experience and expertise?

Maybe up to a point. Most of the tools and languages I use daily are fairly recent, or at least new to me. I don't have much of an advantage, if any, compared to my younger colleagues.

There are certainly things I do better now than 10 years ago but I think I'm slowly declining though. Fortunately, there's more than one way to be productive professionally so I hope I can keep up for a few more year.

Was that a high effort post?
I mean, from a certain perspective, nearly everything management tries to do is a cost-saving tactic, but I wouldn't say that measuring performance is primarily about "cost savings". It's more about making sure that people are doing the job they were hired to do—which, on the face of it, is definitely a valuable thing to be doing.

The problem is when it's being used as a whip to get people to work ever harder with no more pay and no more support than before.

Doubling engineers while keeping the same amount of work is something that can increase resiliency—both in the engineers themselves and in the business. Making sure you have at least, say, 125%-150% coverage of all duties makes a huge difference in everyone's stress levels, and makes sure that if someone gets sick, gets hit by a bus, or just goes on vacation, their duties neither stop getting done, nor get piled onto other people who are already at 100% (or more) capacity.

That is why volunteering when you are in retirement is a win-win. Very few others have the time for what is an absolutely necessary part of society, and it is great to keep your mind and heart active while you recall your life and use its lessons to give back to others. Any sort of volunteering will lend itself to that. For example, Jimmy Carter built houses, and it seems to have done him wonders.

It wouldn't solve other mismatched expectations. For example, the vendor might ship those SSDs only to store firmware-initiated crash dumps. They don't expect them to be used to meet production storage requirements. Maybe to occasionally boot a maintenance system, but that's it. To them, this is kind of obvious because everybody has a SAN anyway. But of course, this is not actually true in practice because customers vary a bit.
This is probably the fundamental attribution error in play -- "my situation is a twist of circumstance but their situation is a reflection of poor character and choices that need to be policed."

Yes, I agree. Search/discovery was not something that was solved in a way that respected the commons. Probably the biggest hole in the 'web is the platform' model. Sometimes I wonder if something like PageRank could have been implemented in a more fundamental way, like DNS, for the public benefit.

Anyways, I think if regulation had happened earlier then a lot of the things you mentioned would never have taken root. They should have just made it unprofitable to hoard and trade consumer data. The industry would have been so much better if the incentives required businesses to compete for consumer dollars.
ZeroTier is definitely very good. I came very close to using it instead of Tailscale at work. One of the big reasons I didn't was I had asked sales a question about redundancy and they said "we've never gone down", so I quoted a tweet from them saying "Our control plane is coming back after the outage" and asked about it, and never got a reply.

I'm looking at setting up a VPN for my services at home and am considering ZeroTier or Nebula. Tailscale is out because I already have a tailnet and you can only have one (you have to switch networks if you have multiple).

I kind of regret not having used Nebula instead of Tailscale, because it gets rid of the control plane and it has less "magic" to it. Though Nebula seems to be moving much slower as far as improvements. I also checked out defined.net for nebula hosting, but at that time they were just starting to work on their API and I absolutely needed that because we have hosts that respin and join our net every night.

The characterization of "informants" as being literal on the payroll feds is usually incorrect. They're usually genuine group members who are being manipulated by literal on the payroll feds.

And you're missing a key feedback loop. The feds typically "create" an informant by digging up dirt on someone and blackmailing them into ratting on their buddies in exchange for non-prosecution. This informant then has a huge f-ing reason to radicalize the group and see to it that they do or attempt to do something worthy of prosecution so that they can make good on their promise to the feds.

So otherwise potentially benign groups wind up getting turned into hotbeds of extremism basically because the feds demand extremists to prosecute.

This is a workflow that dates back at least as far as the war on drugs where you'd have small time traffickers would get turned into informants and then work tirelessly to push their boss's or suppliers business to the next level while collecting evidince for their handlers. It was used on racist and religious extremist groups in the 80s and 90s and then on muslim religious groups in the 00s and now you're seeing it again with right wing groups.

Twitter and platforms like it encourage snippet-based thinking. I've noticed a communication trend recently where, instead of a few well constructed paragraphs, you get a pile of half-finished thoughts in 200 charachters each, strung together in a stream of consciousness. This passes for written communication in some places.

Not only are blogs easier for the reader. It's a more expressive medium for writers as well. To the extent writing is a reflection of thinking, writing microblog threads reflects a scattered and haphazard approach to solving problems. It poisons how we think, not just what we read.

I've said this before but it becomes more clear every year - your biggest professional advantage, the skill you need to work on more than any theory or leet code, is written communication. The number of people who simply cannot or will not write a coherent paragraph is way too high. We have people in top professional positions that are functionally illiterate.

At twice the age you are pre-computer. In the worst case a metal lathe can make any part (though some of them are very tricky to make).

Though none of the parts I've had to replace are computer related. Mechanical parts are much more likely to wear out or rust.

Older coders/technical folks tend to have more wisdom than raw compute (relative to younger coders who may have more raw compute than distilled wisdom.) Wisdom takes a more reliable and more efficient path than raw compute.

Both raw compute and wisdom will be eventually replaced by AI, but "deep wisdom" is largely held in the body, in the way we react viscerally to things, which AI as it is envisioned today does not factor in at all. So we still have a refuge in the wisdom stored in our body memory.
