My "main issue" with it is that if people are used to being behind NAT, they now have to be a bit more careful about securing their computers (firewall etc.) because every computer now is publicly accessible. Most routers do not even seem to have an IPv6 firewall.
The question is really if Europe can compete with the whole US ecosystem without protectionist policies (and there justified). Nowhere is the US domination more visible than in the tech sector, where Europe essentially is a tech vassal state. The European countries need to build not only an AI hubs, but also an competitive business ecosystem that attracts top talent through salaries, opportunities, challenges and benefits. I don't think there is much appetite in the European population for competing on lavish salaries and raw capitalistic incentiments (both categories in which US leads).

European leaders can just look at China and see successful protectionist policies. It makes sense to have some policies not only in US-EU relationship, but also inside EU that spreads the talent on a regional level so regions don't just get drained. This is also a big issue for East- and Central-european countries.

I don’t see where Propel is fighting poverty. Instead, it’s a for-profit company that requires an audience of low-income people for it to make money. And, if considered like that, Propel actually has a perverse incentive to keep people in poverty.

It saddens me to see NYT publish these types of PR pieces, disguised as journalism.
Since all circuitry from different projects will be inside a single chip, and all circuits are accessible through the same platform, how do you plan to offer digital privilege access/circuitry protrction to each chip?

Indeed. There are many other options for social living without compromising on the space aspect. Condo living is one. You get your own kitchen (albeit small), a small bedroom, a small living room and your own shower and toilet.

Then there are several amenities: Pool, Gym, Library. In the Condo you can find a coffee shop, 7/11, etc... So you can be either social, or not. But if you pick "I socialize with my condo tenants", you still have the option at 8PM to sneak to your apartment at xx Floor and have your own moments.
The dichotomy between "Western values" and alternate, "cultural" values is specious - unless we are talking about traditional, Judeo-Christian values that strongly clash with liberalism.

There is only one set of basic human rights for our species. Where I do agree with you is that recognition of those rights is a political problem, and we have no normative source, we must define them in multilateral treaties with respect to cultural norms. I also agree that the main ideological driver of that effort, the western philosophical tradition, probably has strong cultural biases that need to be recognized.

That being said, there is no concrete alternate philosophic tradition that makes an argument for pedophilia or gay repression - just backward places that prefer it that way. All cultures are not created equal, and if that makes me a very weak multiculturalist, so be it. There must be a point at which tolerance must cease and accept that yes, West has the moral upper hand on some subjects; otherwise the road of infinite moral relativism leads to hell: the inability to recognize and act against even the most barbaric abuses - for fear we might break some earthly version of the First directive.

>even if people in those cultures disagree with your definitions, or if even if they decide that other things are more important to them than freedom.

Freedom, by definition, means the ability to choose what is more important for you. So there's absolutely no contradiction if the people of the world find no use for Western-analogue freedoms. The majority of westerners don't use the majority of their freedoms.

What makes you think that there aren't "more" lifestyle businesses?

One thing to not underestimate is that owners of lifestyle businesses, unlike their VC-funded counterparts, often really aren't that interested in getting press features - in fact, many will actively want to avoid it, as press features just increase the likelihood of someone wanting to emulate / imitate your success by competing with you.

There's definitely a big difference between being frugal to get by (stressful) and doing it to hit a 60% savings rate (ie, it's arbitrary). When you have the choice, frugal is much easier - or put differenty, it's expensive to be poor. You're spot on about balance being key.

It also means that their employees aren't being paid as well as they should be. It also means that they are enjoying a monopolistic position.

Usually, when a business is as lucrative as google's, competition arrives. But it seems like tech doesn't work that way.

For example, if a chicken restaurant is making $1.5 million in revenue per employee, then you'd see tons of chicken restaurants pop up to compete. Even the employees, seeing such extraordinary revenue, would quit and open up shop. But for a variety of reasons, tech doesn't seem to work that way.

Is it lack of capital? Lack of opportunities? Lack of tech-oriented people? Lack of entrepreneurs?

It's ridiculous. It's amazing how profitable large tech companies are. What's even more puzzling is why there aren't more googles/facebooks/etc, especially in other countries like france, germany, britain, etc.

It's very simple: Unit tests test a specific "unit" (i.e. in an OO language, that's a class) and integration tests test the ingration of multiple units.

In OO languages, I personally prefer unit tests with all dependancies stubbed or mocked out to verify the interface of that specific unit or component.
Real functional languages have "lexical scope" and "dynamic scope", both are necessary for proper functional programming. React.js "functions" don't evaluate depth-first like a traditional call stack, but rather "breadth first" (because it offers optimization opportunities) and this breaks dynamic scope, so these Context hacks are an attempt to get it back. You are right though, I think React.js is not the end state and the harder we push it the more the "almost-functional-programming" abstraction is going to leak.
Correct. All corporate roles are L4 or above at Amazon, even outside tech.

I don't know how you manages your finances but for me anything above 25% of your income going for rent is absurd. And you are not making it up in distance, either. 45 minutes by tube is a lots of time. (I assume motorbike is not a favorable option given London weather).

"A few hundred pounds below market value" makes a huge, huge difference.

If your salary is around £30,000, you'll take home around £1,900 a month after tax and student loan payments. Spending 50% on rent is already huge, spending £300 more (66%) would be madness.
$4.00 seems too low to make ongoing support and maintenance economically viable. It seems too high to compete with free. For the target market segment, the economic value of the app is probably hundreds of dollars a month and the alternative solution of writing it themselves is probably thousands of dollars of potentially billable time...anyway, my random advice is don't be embarrassed about charging meaningful money and don't try to price the app to entice people who really want it to be free. Price it for people who will value it based on ROI. The target market is people with the money to spend on an Apple computer and multiple monitors. There's plenty of money in that market.

Good luck.
You need to make the distinction between PA(provider allocated) and PI(provider independent) objects, as well as the distinction between LIRs(members of the RIPE NCC) and end-users.

PA can only be held for further assignment in their networks by a LIR that is a member of the RIPE NCC, received in two ways: maximum of one IPv4 allocation /22 with proper justification, or acquisition through merger with another LIR. The membership fees are as you mentioned.

PI resources are assigned to end-users in the region, that do not need to be members of the NCC. They do however need a valid end-user agreement with a LIR, and each(unless they are allocated on the same date) object entails a 50€/yr fee, billed to the LIR. PI IPv4 is no longer being assigned from RIPE, but existing ones are openly traded.

My guess would be that the nets you were looking at were PI networks, so no, you do not need to pay the membership fee.

Thanks for your feedback. We are trying to make things simpler with Jenkins X by using best of breed tools (git providers, issue trackers, cloud services, service meshes, security & code quality tools etc) with best of breed OSS tools like kubernetes, helm & skaffold to automate CI/CD on the cloud & kubernetes.

One of the big changes to traditional Jenkins is we don’t expect folks to have to configure Jenkins, add/remove/edit plugins or even write Dockerfiles or Jenkinsfiles.

If you really wanna do that Jenkins X won’t stop you - but we are trying to help automate and simplify CI/CD through standard tools, standard file formats (Dockerfile, Jenkinsfile, skaffold, helm etc).

Is the cloud, kubernetes, docker, helm & istio complex? Sure - but our goal is to simplify, automate & avoid folks having to look at all that detail.

It’s still early days and a challenge. Eg even Lambda & the AWS API Gateways is complex. But we hope to keep improving to make things easier to use & to help folks go faster by providing automated CI/CD as a service on any kubernetes cluster / cloud
If this was an experiment, what were the results? What was being measured?
Yes, and that is the great deceit of taxation and political resource allocation. Somebody still has to earn the money and bring about the resources and services used through the public sector. It seems to me a lot of people forget that, when they hail state funded services.

The vast majority of people who pay(ed) for actually pretty much everything are all dead. Because the reason for our exorbitant productivity in all sectors producing the essentials for live (compared with a base level thousands of years ago) is accumulated knowledge, culture and tools created by people long dead.

So relax, the expenses have long been paid. We are enjoying the inheritance mostly - and network effects of a huge human network in space and in time (that's the larger part). Let us use those network effects - they are not attributable to individuals. Nobody is taking anything away from you since you are not responsible in any way for those network effects. Nobody individually is, we are just darn lucky. People who sit in central network positions even more so, they can control and create A LOT of wealth - by controlling the human network. Which they did not create - just filling positions is not "creating the network". The idea and the culture where all developed by all of us (and the dead), and the state and the laws provide the structure that support it all.

Your productivity is the way it is because yo benefit from your location in this network! If you want to see what you alone can achieve go alone into the forest. Don't take any tools with you, even a hammer is high tech (steel!).

About "network effects": Compare what a million unconnected humans could achieve (a million mud huts? a million basic stone tools?) with the network output.

Please, can we stop saying that this is about advertisers not wanting to be associated with certain things? It is clearly not true.

I really hate to post these links three times in one thread, but I feel it really drives home my point.

This is not about advertisers disapproving of the content that their ads are displayed over. Coca Cola had no objection to spamming people watching coverage of the worst mass shooting in history[1], nor did other advertisers[2]. The evidence clearly shows that they will associate their brands with the worst acts of horror and violence, and YouTube will pay corporate channels to show us horrible violence to an almost fetishistic degree.

And YouTube discloses none of this. YouTube entices people to spend their own time and money creating content, and then misleads them about their monetization policies, and secretly picks winners for monetization. I also think that this gaslighting on their part is part of a concerted effort to "gentrify" their platform, and drive away independent creators, without openly admitting that they are no longer welcome on their platform.

> Content creators are basically throwing a video up on a market and hoping someone will pay them for it, right? Or am I completely off base here?

You are completely off base. For years, YouTube was very loose with their monetization. Now, they are imposing self serving and byzantine rules on independent content creators, which are virtually impossible to follow properly if you are doing anything other than makeup tutorials. Except if you are someone they like, then none of these rules apply.

If YouTube is handling money, then they have a responsibility to be more transparent. Both morally and I think legally.
