I don't understand the appeal of DoorDash, I had an ad pop up for free delivery for a first time user and I happened to not have my car that day so I thought I would give it a go. "free" delivery only got rid of 1 of 3 service charges which had me spending $6 on top of a $9 dollar meal (not including tip). And that was "free" delivery for the first time I ever used the service.

Why did we need that upgrade?

There are about a zillion reasons you can come up with for that, to match the entire spectrum of political outlooks and levels of cynicism, none of which have to include 'to start a new nuclear arms race'.

What would you expect to see if there were a new nuclear arms race?

Well, for one thing, I'd expect the race to include at least two parties. If Russia truly believed something on the US side is actually putting the global strategic nuclear balance in question, I imagine their response would be more robust than running a missile-naming competition on the internet.

The reporting on these issues always stresses the risk of starting a new nuclear arms race - the NYT piece you linked to does, as has much of what has been written over the last 15-odd years at least. The risk is surely real but this does imply that we have not, in fact, been in a nuclear arms race. So far.

No robber barons mean no railway expansion and no massive expansion of jobs west, so no immigration boom. Robber barons are also responsible for financial regulation, futures markets which allowed for much greater predictability and sustained farming output, increased ties to Europe and specifically the UK over Germany, the massive increases in production brought by low oil prices and standardization of performance, arguably unions and labor reforms and a standard wage.

Changed and changed back: I started as a programmer in Summer 1980; by 1994 I was tech writing, and then ghosting business books, and finally ghosting fiction. Seeing the low returns of even really good authors -- for one popular business book, I got $30K to ghost it, the author ended up making only $7K -- I decided to re-tool and learn Web languages. Now I'm a reasonably-well-paid Wiki administrator for a medium-size public medical software firm. I don't think it's one career, it's kinda surfing in place.

> Canada to scrap IBM payroll plan gone awry costing $1B. The Phoenix project was originally chosen by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Conservative predecessors 10 years ago to centralize the government payroll.

Trudeau is not a Conservative. It makes it sound like it is Trudeau's party that caused the problem.
A similar issue for companies and even communities is not total power but focused power where value can be extracted. Increasing total power is scalable but increasing it in a chosen direction is not.

A free market for example is "efficient" but you can't control (and take credit) for anything it produces. It's output is wild.

So what's good for the Chinese people may not necessarily be good for the concept of China and if the concept of China is broken so is the concept of being Chinese. HK/Taiwan already stress this dynamic somewhat.

As to why it's so important for this concept to remain whole I suspect it's historical/cultural. Fragmented city states proper as long as the ecosystem does not contain warmongers. Each city-state requiring its own military is like each individual being hunter-gatherers. Civilization doesn't proceed without the freedom to specialize.

The "humiliation of China" which started via the opium wars is very fresh relatively speaking. Many countries including the US still operate with a domination oriented mindset rather than mutual prospering.

To China's credit. Historically it has never over extended and tried to dominate other countries in the way many western countries have despite often being able to do so.
Elixir Tooling Update – What’s Next
There are probably a lot of businesses that work as premium small-scale businesses that explicitly are about convenience for people who don’t mind spending money on them. The problem with almost all of these VC-funded startups is they have to grow, grow, grow which means that they have to also appeal to people who count their pennies or at least dollars. And it’s hard to sell a luxury service without a surcharge.
Yep. The problem is that most customers cannot judge the level of security offered by a company. So Company "A" says they are "secure," but has a cumbersome process to follow to get a certificate. Company "B" says they are "secure" and has a convenient process. Guess which one gets the business (all else being equal).

In reality Company "B" may well be much less secure then "A", but the customer has no way of knowing that or making a judgement on which company is more secure.

Your reasoning is based on assumptions that there is no evidence for. Not all doctors are employed in providing care, you don’t know what Heal doctors are doing between seeing patients, you don’t know how Heal sources or compensates doctors, medical efficiency is not measured in patient-minutes, you don’t know how many patients a Heal doctor sees vs a clinic doctor, you don’t know the bottlenecks of community clinics, etc. etc.
Interesting that role is on-site given mission statement.
The justification for using LIFO (vs FIFO) queues for requests is interesting: at no/low load it makes no difference, while at high load the requests least likely to time out get serviced first.

Is that a common architectural decision in reverse proxies or queuing systems in general?

Wow, collections..

I have a similar story: as an IBM employee I had a company Amex card. It works like this: you buy something on the card (in your name, against your personal credit), but you also fill out an expense reimbursement form (a horrible Java web-app) and IBM pays the card.

All fine and good, but if you return something or if the vendor gives you a discount later or anything like that, you end up with a negative balance on the card. Now you leave the company, but you have an Amex card with a negative balance.

I received Amex statements for six months before they figured out how to deal with it.

Slack addresses some of the problems, but not all:

> The lack of conversations/threading is really annoying.

Slack is arguably worse - they recently added threading (really comments that can go on a post - there is no nesting), but this has made me much more likely to miss any follow-up because messages are less visible than otherwise.

> By default there seems to be a lot of leave/join spam. I used IRC for a year before turning this off and it vastly improved my experience.

This is entirely client dependent, so not really a fault of IRC. Slack has the same option, it just defaults to not displaying it like clients as opposed to whatever IRC client you used.

> I think most clients don't save anything by default. When I reboot my computer and don't log in again, I miss messages.

Yes. I don't know the inner workings, but generally if you're offline on IRC you will miss anything directed at you. Slack definitely addresses this, and it is my favorite "feature" - it means that Slack is not good for only casual discussions. (Slack's search is my second fav, and there's nothing special about that, it just works well enough that I can usually find that comment I vaguely recall someone making within the last 6 months on one of the many channels I'm on).

I expect this is largely a client issue, though I also imagine that most IRC servers have a very limited amount of immediately available conversation. Remembering that you have direct messages waiting for you would require servers that reserve nicks. That's all guessing though.

- Having to use pastebins for code is annoying.

Slack allows for posting code in text, posting text "snippets" that can include code, and posting files that can be downloaded.

Overall your frustrations seem very reasonable, but from the sound of it you're "hanging out" on IRC channels that are being friendly for outside users to drop in and out, and for devs to have conversations that are considered temporary. Plus not having users post goatse pics or worse. Which means they aren't even TRYING to accomplish what you want. Hard to blame IRC in that case - those features aren't used even when available.

I'm not exactly saying "You just need to use IRC client X" as you predicted, but more "you probably just need to change a config and connect to IRC servers that are INTENDED to do what you want". Not wanting to go through that effort is fine, and I'm not saying Slack and other alternatives are worse or even equal for those tasks, but don't blame the plane for not flying when the pilot is making donuts on the runway.

Bitcoin Is Falling Out of Favor on the Dark Web
My beef with the popular narrative on this isn't that Apple shouldn't be criticized for the way they handled it -- it's that what they did that was wrong seems to me to be terrible communication, not some kind of nefarious plan to make everyone buy new phones.

People seem to be tacitly dismissing the problem the CPU throttling ostensibly fixes -- iPhones with worn batteries just shutting down instantly without warning when an application asks for more power than the battery's now capable of delivering -- but I've experienced it. It's a real problem. And while it's a subjective call as to whether that's more infuriating than CPU throttling is, I can tell you, it's really infuriating. And it's not some kind of crazy only-Apple thing; it's a problem with battery technology. It happens with Android phones, too, and their "solution" is what Apple's was until they rolled out the throttling: nothing. Eventually you figure out you have a battery problem because your phone keeps spontaneously shutting down! Yay.

If we're going to criticize Apple for this, maybe it should be for making this change without notifying users. The iPhone can presumably determine when its battery is sufficiently worn that it's facing the choice between CPU throttling and spontaneous shutdowns, and it should let the user know when it crosses that line.

But the notion that Apple is deliberately crippling phones to get you to buy new ones faster has always been...odd. They do want you to buy new phones, to be sure, but they want you to buy new phones from them. If you stop trusting them, you're less likely to going to do that, unless you're very heavily "into" the Apple ecosystem -- which most consumers arguably aren't. (At least half my friends with iPhones rarely install applications other than Spotify, Telegram, and the occasional game -- and I live in Silicon Valley. These folks aren't Mac users, either, and so I suspect they don't feel very much lock-in pressure at all.)
