Thank you for writing out that extremely clear sequence of inequalities. I love a good Unicode style debate, but regardless you absolutely nailed it with conceptual clarity.

Fascinating, thank you for the extra breadcrumbs. I think the mental model has to include something about mass produced vs bespoke, not just high/low fashion. In the US, the easiest example to take is the three tiers of fashion produce

It wasn't clear to me that the problem as framed was about asymptotic growth. I was curious if/when the factors might become relevant, so I started sketching this out... The 63x64 binary canvas is made of integers on the order of

So what does a pair of high quality women's jeans cost in Northern Europe? I looked very hard for the article I read recently about a woman (in US) who just straight up stopped buying clothes gendered for women because they fell apar

How does anything I typed conflict with the basic macroeconomic pressures of supply and demand? Labor markets have those tensions, and the useful thing to understand are the factors influencing supply & demand. Applying market theory

This is all very good advice. It costs me nothing to recognize my privilege as I endorse it. edit: My story is about developing the opportunities to leave several different mediocre bosses, sometimes more than once! It really did work out f

It is interesting that you are gauging my "success" on whether my comment is changing minds about economic theory. Please consider that I explicitly excluded anything else Marx wrote from assent, to reduce the likelihood that an

It is divine to have this luxury. But changing your management under a bad boss is simply not that easy. My story: I was given the option to change my boss for the first time in 2006 or so. At this company, I'd already been promoted se

The psychology of relative status garners a lot of attention to understand inequality. Of course there is backlash to front-of-house folks seeing their relative status decrease, despite the fact that nothing has changed for them. A diffic

Could you point me at any references on equal-volume cubic tesselations? I've found Dr. Sahr's work on DGGS incredibly accessible given my rudimentary understanding of the math disciplines involved. An unfortunate aspect of all th

Awesome! It has been awhile since we spoke, but it is immediately obvious how much cleaner this codebase is compared to the earlier research work. Even if I have to write my own bindings, this is a huge leg up. A lot of the stuff I'm w

Thanks for sharing these details! This looks like a completely new implementation with none of the original DGGrid source. (Unsurprising for some license prohibitions of parts of it that would prevent Uber from using it.) I haven't had

I have never heard of this library before, which is surprising, because I've been looking hard for such a hexagonal privacy-fencing system for a long time! I can't find anything that explains how the partitioning in geohex works,

See sibling post for links, but the short answer: you can use 12 pentagons, strategically interspersed. Like a (soccer) football. edit: Oops, that only explains the tiling. For explanations of how the hierarchy descends, Dr. Sahr produced s

For those interested in the variety of uses for hexagonal / hierarchical indexing, Dr. Kevin Sahr at Southern Oregon University has produced an open specification and a number of ancillary research around the topic: http://w

Are you calling my cases edge cases, or the parent commenter's cases? There are a lot of tools that should work better offline. But a remote collaboration tool is not a good example of that. I've done work on secure private P2P me

P2P does not solve and cannot solve a number of problems associated with business communication. If you are sitting in the same room with your colleagues, what do you do when there's a power outage? Sometimes there really isn't an

Yes. In deep corporate America, there are plenty of people who have virtually no responsibilities beyond a few basic configuration tasks. They are still unable to perform many of these tasks without significant help from coworkers. And we c

Bayesian filters solved this problem. My only email volume problem anymore is entirely opt-in / self inflicted. Some percentage of global bandwidth is still wasted on spam, but it is a vanishingly small proportion of traffic for that t

I guess I'm asking if you've written Signal or any other mode of secure messaging into a contract explicitly, in some kind of sufficient notice clause.

I thought about this more, and I noticed something else wrong with that version of the experiment. The compromise has to be at the other end of copyright term. It's crazy to remove all authorial rights from anyone actively working toda

There is nothing logically wrong with an experiment like that. But there is no economic / political path where this happens. Even, say, there were a massive political turnaround in the next election cycle that could push something li

by dvanduzer 9y ago
Compromise ideas like this are worth brainstorming. But the open commons movements need a better legal strategy than "do an experiment and see if there's harm".

An earlier draft of that comment had "not sure either company would bid very hard" phrased as "not sure either company has the financials to support" so I looked up RHT's market cap, saw it was in the 10s of billion

I know what you meant, but I think it's helpful to talk about "trendy" in the context that matters: something popular that will either widen the competitive moat for existing customers, or bring in new customers that are soon
