Also, too much information is just as bad as not enough. I’ve seen many a project whose home page or README dives straight into technical jargon about it, telling me all about how it’s world-changing and completely unlike anything else, without explaining in one clear sentence what the thing is and why I might want to use it. You’ve got to hold my hand if you want to take me through a paradigm shift, or I’m going to assume your software is a Rube Goldberg contraption that doesn’t really do anything.
Beyond high level corporate jobs, would moving headquarters back to the US lead to more lower-class and/or manufacturing jobs? Or would the company just be based in the US on paper?
>If you have a team of developers it quickly becomes obvious. In fact a boss who knows nothing about programming is probably better able to judge if someone is doing a poor job in these cases

I've been on such teams and that isn't what happens. This is:

* Team mates do not like badmouthing their coworkers unless they do not like them. Hence, if a coworker complains about another coworkers' performance its as likely to be due to a personal problem as it is performance. Most coworkers also won't know each others' wages so they are in an even poorer position to judge relative performance.

* Managers without technical chops are incapable of distinguishing hard tasks from tasks that are being done badly or easy tasks and tasks that are being done well. They are incapable of distinguishing quality engineering from hackjobs that will blow up in 6 months. They will either default to just assuming every developer is more or less equally productive or use terrible proxies for productivity (like how late each developer stays at work or their scrum 'velocity').

* Good performers who do not have their achievements recognized will leave for better paid positions, leaving mediocre and poor developers. The quality of the product takes a dive. Profitability may also take a dive as a result if the industry is competitive and the quality of the software matters.

First, I do apologize.

I've been sitting on this response, because I've been mulling over this term "ideological battle". I simply cannot see how most every comment here isn't supporting some "ideological battle". That's effectively the modern intellectual realm - information tech has caused us to go ever-more meta, seeking out deeper root causes while also increasing the need for abstract ideas to even navigate.

I think the real problem with my above comment is that it is not very substantive. By skipping the several logical steps between its two sentences, the second bit comes off as a purely incendiary flame. I should have either done the work of fleshing out the narrative justifying the second bit (and then still reworded it), or have left it off completely.

I'll try harder not to write comments in that mindset. And anyhoo thanks for doing what you do.

Nuclear weapons wouldn't have help Gaddafi anyways. He didn't have a working weapon nor a reliable way to delivering it. Also, what was he going to do with one? Threaten the US with one if the internal rebellions don't stop? Threaten to nuke his own people?

There's an illusion of the utility of nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons might be OK if you want to destroy masses of conventional armies or destroy the ability of an enemy fighting a heavily industrialized conventional form of war. Unless the destructive power of nukes fit into your overall strategy, it's better not to have them or waste the resources developing them (along with the risk of sanctions, etc.)

> RethinkDB has an excellent reputation for being able to get the data back

Uh. It's not always true, although not in the sense you've meant it (no complaints about storage reliability).

I don't know if my setup is broken or I did something stupid, but for me rethinkdb-dump saturates the CPU to the max and the only thing that keeps the machine from choking to death with LA1 going over 100 is resource limit on the database container. Trying to back things up results in random connection drops and timeouts. I gave up on trying to back up the database online.

And that's a very small database (75GB on disk, 12GB as uncompressed JSON, 2.5GB as a tarball), on a reasonably powerful machine. It's a single node, though - I thought I'd "upgrade" to a cluster at some point but it's way too early.

I've noticed this too, not even with full keto even. When I eat healthier things regularly (veggies and chicken instead of burgers and fries, etc), sweet or carby things taste good but they don't compel me, UNLESS I lapse for a few days. Then the carb cravings come back and I have to work and fight them for days or weeks to reset back to healthy mode.
In Marvel's comics back in the day, they ran a one-page feature called Bullpen Bulletins that had news, columns, and various pieces of trivia about what was going on at Marvel. They originally did one a month, but starting with the beginning of 1993 they started running a different Bullpen Bulletins every week. One week a month, they ran a column by Marvel's Senior Executive Editor, Mark Gruenwald, called "Mark's Remarks", where he wrote about whatever was on his mind.

In one of those columns, Gru wrote about how he detests smoking and he doesn't allow people to smoke in his office. I remember stumbling on that column a few years ago, when I was going through some old comics, and it's just bizarre to me that you could smoke in any other part of Marvel's offices as recently as 1993-4 (I don't remember exactly when that column was from, but it was one of those two years) and that whether or not you could smoke in somebody's office was up to whoever the office belonged to. And I grew up in that era!
So - I actually physically run 2 mining rigs - each with 6 Nvidia GTX 1070s - pulling 1020 Watts each. They each heat a room fairly nicely and I make around maybe $300 in profit from just selling coins per month. This is AFTER I subtract my electricity costs which for these 2 rigs is about $160 per month. I have not quantified the heating benefits but I'd estimate it at maybe $20 a month. I built them back in March/April for $6k total, and I've made twice that so far - paying for itself already and extra $$$ - plus I still have the hardware going or I can resell it at a profit even thanks to the shortage of high end video cards due to all these crypto miners like myself.

In the summer, I had the rigs in 1 room air cooled with just the windows open - no problems with 90 degree F days at all. Fun project, and so far quite successful.

> Just cancel the franchises and let the market compete for internet service. I think you'd be surprised.

We should make franchising requirements illegal at the federal level. There is no need for them, and all they do is artificially limit competition. Even though the franchises are, by law, non-exclusive, the terms for getting a franchise are usually onerous enough that nobody but the incumbent is willing to put up with them.

Strategically, I think Apple has made a right move by internalising all the hardware designs. That said, as many have suggested, the new iPhone is no more than just another faster, smaller, and costlier.
Oh I agree completely, but that's sort of my point.

The OP's solution seemed to be making everyone have 50 instead of 4,000. That seemed both impossible, and a weird goal. If you're going to try for the impossible, shouldn't we aim for 0?

I don't ever see us stopping N+1 nukes though.

Indeed, Apple is excellent at integration. But at the system level, that leaves them with fewer partners who can help with the business side of things. They had to become excellent in operations, strategy and sales, which they did as well.
Audacity 2.2.0 Released
It was a complicated and confusing situation

It's the job of the UI/UX designers to make that less likely.

Like most air crashes, it took at least two things going wrong to make this one happen. Three in this case. Factor #1, a couple of morons were flying the aircraft. Factor #2, pitot tube icing. Factor #3, the aircraft was designed with certain unintuitive control features that depart from longstanding industry practices. The sticks that everybody's talking about were only one of those elements.

An arguable (if perhaps not politically-acceptable) conclusion is that if the pilots aren't sure who's doing what, the control system engineers and the pilots need to go back to school.

Yep, a modern nuclear bomb takes a very coordinated sequence to actually have the confinement needed to get good utilization of the fissile fuel (i.e., be a nuclear-driven explosion), otherwise they just fly apart before any significant fission/fusion can occur.

The fuel used for a nuclear weapon is also basically radiologically inert by necessity so if it does explode conventionally there is not a significant release of radiation. It's pretty toxic chemically, but there's not a lot of it so it's not nearly as bad the fallout that would precipitate from a nuclear explosion.

So Broadcom wants to be your one stop shop for everything networking related? Server, Switches Controller, Bluetooth, LTE, WiFi etc. On the WiFi chip there is basically only three players left in the consumer market, Broadcom, Qualcomm ( Atheros ) and Mediatek ( Mediatek is actually doing surprising well )

Another point is Broadcom seems to have a very good relationship with Apple so far. If you look at all the iPhone taken apart there are lots of Broadcom chips in it.

Off Topic: How do these Acquisition works? I get that it is a Share + Cash. The Share part is basically Qualcomm shareholder getting shares at the new company, but cash, we are talking about near 100 billion acquisition, where do the loans come from? Banks? Or could it be interest free coming from Apple?
"Now it will be a lesson for others: nukes are way more reliable than some piece of paper, which no one is gonna follow"

Is it really though? Even if Ukraine had nukes, would it have threatened and actually have the will to use it over the lost of the Crimea? The conflict was low intensity warfare, which nukes are not particularly well suited for. I don't think nukes are the be-all-end-all weapons people think they are. There are huge consequences to using them, especially against another nuclear power.

It's a pity that they didn't get the voice actors for Professor Xavier or Magneto in the roundtable discussion. They were the most interesting of the batch, particularly Magneto. I don't think any other version of Magneto comes close to nailing Chris Claremont's interpretation of the character.
Sounds like the stuff my code refactoring nightmares are made of. The opposite case is funny too though: I've seen people who fetched and deserialized the entire SQL table and then manually SELECTed by looping over it with a foreach loop and picking the right record =)

They even had their own custom logic to do table JOINs. It involved fetching and deserializing both entire tables with SELECT *, of course.

There are only a couple within an hour or so in either direction. I've never noticed a seemingly permanent population; rest areas in populous areas are patrolled regularly by police, and California has an 8 hour limit on stops. It's actually pretty rare to find folks spending more than a day or two at rest areas even in places where police don't visit often.

So, no, I'd bet there is no near-permanent residency happening at rest stops in Northern CA. At least, I've never seen evidence of it. And, I sometimes talk to folks living in weird places when I find them, as I find the subculture fascinating (if a little depressing). I've met lots of Walmart parking lot residents. But, no Walmarts in Northern CA allow overnights, either.
I don't think he's a troll, at least not in the sense of the word I understand, which implies intent.

It's literally the opposite of a troll.

Yes I realize this argument wears thinner the more democracy gets weakened... and hey, weird, the ones weakening it are the same few people (Comcast in this case) who stand to profit from weakening it. Just a coincidence I'm sure!

Anyway you're not helping democracy either, by giving up on it and/or buying into the whole "the market will fix everything" idea.

Free markets would be great, but what you find instead is that those who want to exploit a given market, sell everybody on the idea that "the market will fix everything" when they want to enter it. But after that, they do everything in their power to make sure it's NOT a free market. They want to avoid dealing with competitors, so they work to keep them out of the market. But unfortunately competition is the precondition on which most of the "market will fix everything" argument rests.
Doesn't Samsung do that as well though? They make screens, and CPUs and many of the other components in a modern phone, don't they?

Robotics, but more specifically Tele operated robots. Remotely driven vehicles and remotely controlled robots.

There is a chance that all factory work becomes like a video game.

Tele-ops robotics would lead to:

- large-scale redistribution of physical/blue-collar jobs (bigger than "software" over last 20 years)

- allow new business models that were never possible in manufacturing (e.g. robots for "rent" - subscription model, gamification, flex-work like Uber for tele-operated robots in manufacturing; low-volume sales)

- order of magnitude better physical health of workers (lower injuries, more fun)

- savings for manufacturers (not just on labor, but lower insurance etc.)

- a 20 to 30 year hedge against the invention of general AI that seems far away and what other roboticists are chasing.

There is a potential to release huge latent wealth by creating a new industry (potentially trillions in value could be released over the next 10 years - no single company would capture it, but it would create something at least as big as "software").

Tele-ops is already successful for surgeries and dangerous situations. But it should be it’s own “field”
I think reasonable parity with what you have now on AWS for visualisation. We do migration work for clients, so (in our use case at least) it'd be a useful tool for the non-technical members to be able to visualise in this way and not from some impenetrable deployment manifests. There is definitely some mileage in showing them costing breakdown too but deep down, the sheer eye-candy factor is probably more useful. Humans are generally attracted to shiny things :)

SIMH is one of the things that got me into embedded programming. I'm still very fond of this thing, and it's one of the first things that I install on any machine that I have.

I am not old enough to have used those machines in real life. I have seen some of them in real life, but only as a child. However, I was interested in computer history -- and I had been for quite some time (after stumbling upon ESR's edition of the Jargon file) when I ran into SIMH.

This was back when documentation was pretty scarce, and Internet images slow. I got SIMH on my home computer by relying on floppy disks and a very understanding internet cafe operator. Shortly after, I got a dial-up connection, and managed to lug a few of the historical UNIX images, and boot them in a PDP-11 machine.

I remember being astonished at how much could be achieved in (what seemed to me, back in the late 90s/early 00s) so little memory and with so little computational power. It's what got me interested in the whole "doing less with more" business. Many years later, it turned out to be useful knowledge; when I got my first job writing device drivers for a really tiny RTOS, 48 KB of flash and 4 KB of RAM seemed like a reasonably comfortable space to write code in.

A few years later, I also got a hold of an OpenVMS copy -- which was actually pretty complicated because it involved signing up for DECUS Munchen (I still have my membership card!), which was not very easy considering that I was well under 18 and all the German words I knew were "Danke", "Gutten" and "Tag". I don't remember if SIMH or another emulator already had pcap-based networking support back then, but in any case, I ran a small OpenVMS machine and offered shell accounts to a few curious folks. The whole thing didn't really take off since the machine doing the hosting was the one I used every day for general computer stuff so...

I think the other emulator I had tons of fun with back then was GXemul ( http://gxemul.sourceforge.net/ ). Warmly recommended, even today. It's a glimpse into interesting times -- I'm tempted to say "better times", but nostalgia is a little treacherous.
