Exploitativeness is extremely ill-defined and often used to push an agenda that is not really aligned with the interest of the party "being exploited". In any case, acknowledging that exchanges can be "unfair" for some

Economic capital is interesting because 1) it's not a zero sum game. Most exchanges of economic capital result in the betterment of both parties. 2) in order to get some, you usually provide a good or service to someone else. These

Isn't this statement trivially true for any sort of social system, where you can stand in social capital for Capital.

You act as if I haven't read the constitution. I've pored over the constitution so many times, I'm well versed in obscurities down to the twenty dollar clause and the post roads clause. Can you explain to me how classifying

"Latest generation" = last 2 years. Three years ago I was buying SMC servers which were the first round configured with randomized passwords to comply with CA law (some batches had ADMIN/ADMIN) and gigabyte servers still wer

Yeah those supermicros scared the bejeezus out of me when I saw them in the catalog. I mean, yeah, you can configure the switch to listen onto different vlan ids, but what if something weird happens and that stateful information is lost

Listen, if you work at a private research institution and you raise funds through a nonprofit (like, say HHMI), then by all means, do what you want. You are not beholden to the taxpayer. Money from the government absolutely comes with str

going to quote my sibling child comment here: If you are, say a high ranking general at the pentagon -- which is a position directly paid by the government, then can you claim "first amendment" if you pass military secrets on to a

I believe this model could work, but amazon seems to be a fractal of toxicity. I've heard bad stories from developers, managers, and of course contract delivery drivers, packing and sorting people, etc. Just about everything except f

you are right in practice, but my argument is not about what is de facto the case, but what should be the case. > government restrictions on speech Well this obviously should not generally be the case. If you are, say a high ranking

I think it will be interesting to see a company get so big that it fails because it can't hire anyone anymore. While, the "market can remain irrational", it certainly isn't impossible that eventually you consume a suffi

If you didn't take money from the federal government, I would be inclined to agree with you, that export controls are an abridgement of the freedom of speech, but if your work is taxpayer-funded, then the government absolutely has the

Nope. Buggy declarative code is harder to debug than buggy imperative code.

Were there delays caused by it, though?

Well the delays were a real thing, I don't think it is uncoupled from the engineering methodology

Kind of not really, IIRC the motors for the last mirror flaps are not working as they should but it was deemed to be within risk tolerances given a workaround. Also, if I'm not mistaken it is possible for the telescope to operate down

You don't want to calibrate against something interesting, because of you see something crazy, you'll never really be all that sure it isn't because your instrument is goofy.

I still don't understand what the game plan is for laser-induced fusion. How do you collect the energy? By contrast: I have a vague idea of how one might do it for magnetic confinement, and I even remember one magnetically confined s

There's also a wide range of things between the UL and FDA. Besides, if it's counterfeit, then it's not actually UL marked, so I'm not sure what your argument is.

There are a wide range of options between startup bros and government. For example, in the US, a lot of electrical component standards and testing are managed by the UL, which is a nonprofit ngo. Maybe something like "a UL for drug ap

I would take issue with the zig vs go: go tries to make everything simple. Zig tries to make the simple things simple, but very much exposes the systems complexity. I would say zig is uncomplicated, but can embrace complexity.

The problem with Ansible is it's not universal, because most app playbooks, are configured in the worst possible way. In my experience typically you get handed an Ansible script, something which you'd hoped was declarative but
