In France, if you want a waiter, you call them over. When they have time, they'll get to you. They leave you alone because most French people don't want to be bothered a lot while they're talking and eating, or reading the paper (a sentiment I can get down with).

If something is screwed up with the food, they would first probably wonder why this American tourist thinks that the French chef screwed up the dish that their grandmother probably taught them how to cook. Then they'll listen to you, shrug, and take it back and tell the manager or the chef. One of them would decide what was appropriate.

If you told them you just didn't enjoy the dish and you wanted another one, they may ask you why you ordered the first dish in the first place, and why you think you deserve a free dish. If you ask for substitutions, they'd probably tell you no, because most chefs don't want to deal with that and often the way dishes are made preclude substitutions, not to mention backing up other orders. And they'd be in the right. It's kind of stunning sometimes how privileged American consumers can act.

A caveat to this is if you're in Paris; they can be really nice or really rude based on a number of factors. In a small town, French people are really friendly and helpful.
I wonder if there has ever been an article on Vue where both the article and comments aren't a direct comparison to React.

Look no further than these comments. As always it's a mix of, "I tried React and hated it, then I tried Vue and loved it!" or visa versa.

Metrics such as "I understood it immediately" or "it didn't feel right to me" are shallow and meaningless.

Fact is, React and Vue are increasingly similar. So why these types of articles make the front-page once a week is beyond me.
I've been to france and restaurants there and trust me, other than the lack of free water, everything is better. The food is better, you order from the menu and it comes out and turns out you don't have to pay the waiter's wage on top of that! It also results in waiters not being overly/fake friendly and constantly checking on you which I much prefer.

There is no change in the amount of time between your order and the food arriving but that's because it's dependent on the chef/how busy the restaurant is/etc.
I suspect that none of the Free To Play games ever get that kind of chargeback fee given the sheer volume of money they process.

The credit card companies probably trip over themselves to give phenomenal offers to be the processor for them.

In addition, who really cares about a chargeback for an online game? Since there is no physical thing that transacted, simply reversing the transaction is quite straightforward.
I wonder if we'll ever know where these tools originated from.

Does the US DOJ have a history of halting this sort of fraud yet?

Cheat, anti-cheat, antivirus, malware, and to a lesser extent debugger and profiler. All these tools are going after each other in the same territory: monitoring a certain system activity to report or intervene. To me, it looks that all these functions are traditionally in the realm of operating system. Are we going to have a new middle layer or a new OS architecture for catering things like this? I'm curious.

The short answer is alignment of incentives.

The longer answer is that, although Amazon does provide many tools, as I'm sure anyone who has attempted to use them for cost analysis and/or forecasting has found, they are, at best, difficult (i.e. require a remarkable amount of human labor to extract the desired information, if that's even possible). At worst, one discovers that it's impossible to find out what one truly wants from the tool, even after exerting the effort, although it might be a close approximation. Amazon has little incentive to spend money improving a tool that would help their customers send them less revenue.
Not everyone's asthma is like yours. For example, trying to run for 45 minutes would kill me these days. My asthma is triggered by exercise and even when I used to exercise quite a lot and was on more medication it was a struggle. So don't assume everyone's condition is the same as yours.
Essentially, treat the client as a client to the API that is the game and that presents the game world.

I like the idea of customized clients, ala WoW's add-ons back in the day. Looking at the screenshot in the article, the idea of treating visible weapon ranges as a cheat strikes me as less balance than artificial difficulty. (Especially considering how many games have exactly that feature.)
The downside to China's way is that driving is A LOT slower because you have to assume no one is following the rules. I've been a passenger in China where there were multiple near misses but was averted because the actual driving speed is low. This is the same in many areas of life and industry: if you can safely assume everyone follows some standard, you can optimize but arriving at that set of rule and rule following behavior takes time. China is very much in the "move fast break stuff (sometimes literally)" phase.

Someone needs to make a "touchpad olympics" so we can see who is really more nimble ;-)

But yeah, these things can definitely be pretty personal. Also, you get used to one thing and it can be very jarring to use something else.

But man I've never used any PC that even felt close to me. And I used to use PC notebooks -- switching to mac was immediately a "holy shit, I'm not plugging in a mouse anymore" moment for me. I've used a couple HP notebooks but nothing recently. Maybe it's gotten better...
Since the line-cutting topic seems to be of interest, I thought I’d share some first hand experience.

Having succumbed to the need for a Big Mac a handful of times during a decade long stint in China, I became accustomed to the devolution of queuing when it was peak time. I quickly found myself pushing in and cutting others off, to make sure my order was taken.

This made me reflect on how quickly I adapted to the situation. I found that when push comes to shove, we seem to have a threshold which says “bugger it, I want my burger more than I care about being polite”. I guess this is obvious, but how easily I threw my supposed Western manners out the window was what surprised me.

I think there’s a couple of observations that are interesting, which aren’t covered in the article;

- People that tended to queue jump just hadn’t been told it wasn’t ok. If it wasn’t already complete anarchy, quite often another person in the queue would tell them off with a stern “get in line”, to which the offender would apologize and shuffle to the back of the line

- In some places they have staff that “queue-manage”. Nobody cuts the queue or complains, they just wait for their turn patiently, albeit not usually quietly

I believe China knows it has accrued some deep social issues to deal with, and that debt will need to be paid off slowly. I remember a few years back that TV and print adverts promoting “dynastic and elitist” culture were banned. I think that says a lot about the governments mindset.

I hope the above gives a little more context to anyone who hasn’t had the privilege of finding themselves stuck in a fast-food restaurant in downtown Beijing during peak hour.
And logger, or fishermen, or oil rig workers, or drivers, who app work far more dangerous jobs, don't "sacrifice"

I sleep well at night because of a roofer who risked his life to fix a hole, not because the US spend an obscene amount of money on its military.

P.S the military isn't that dangerous. The largest killer is suicide, then transport accidents, then other accidents. Truckers are in a far more risky job, because of the danger of driving, and because of the sedantary lifestyle. Next time you see a trucker at the gas station remember to applaud him and thank him for his service.
You may not aspire to it, but you likely will have to do it if you want to remain employed in many areas.

I have multiple friends who made it all the way through residency and have since stopped practicing within years of "graduating. The OP describes the profession much better than you do, as a whole.

Double booking patients, requiring certain revenue targets, massive amounts of useless paperwork, etc. Considering the varying ranges of where they took up residency I'd say this is endemic industry-wide. Also jives with my personal experiences with the medical field.

Because the article contains within it the refutation of your argument. In fact, that's the whole point of the article.

"... the universe has played a trick on you by supplying you with a continual stream of overwhelming evidence that the universe is populated by material objects that exist in particular places at particular times, and that have a continuity of identity such that it makes sense to say things like, "The vase on that table exists." The reason that continuity of identity matters is that it's required to make sense of the phrase, "The vase on that table." For that phrase to make sense, the vase that is on the table now has to be the same vase that is there a microsecond from now. If this were not so, then the vase on the table at time T0 might have existed at T0, but at time T0+epsilon it no longer exists. Instead, it's a different vase that exists at T0+epsilon (and a different one yet again at time T0+2epsilon)."

"This probably sounds like I'm being pedantic, because it's just obvious that material objects like vases do have continuity of identity. The evidence for it is just overwhelming. But despite the overwhelming evidence, it is in fact not true..."
It's definitely an 'intractable problem'.

A) The issue is specifically pay rates at 'BigCos' are rising quickly, making it harder and harder for startups to keep up. This is 'intractable' to the point where many simply stay away from the Valley, which was less the case before.

B) Companies with lofty margin increases over time are extremely rare and such inside wage inflation is totally unsustainable over any period - forget business cycles. Only at a rising Google, or the very rare lucky startup growing the customers is this not a problem. Very, very rare. And it creates the 'A' problem above for other companies.

What you’re talking about goes far beyond what the FDA is proposing.

> If Amazon wants to publish their assumptions for S3 for comparison, we're all ears.

The 2010 S3 calculation is obviously also wrong! I totally feel your pain in terms of wanting to have a directly comparable answer, but the reasons you give that "it doesn't matter" (and others, including correlated faults, software bugs, model risk, and security breaches) are actually reasons why the stated durability number is wrong. Honestly IMO a probability of 1-10^-11 is the wrong answer to pretty much any question; model risk is going to dominate that for any problem more complex than 1+1=2.

That said, although neither your system nor Amazon's should be expected to have anywhere near "eleven nines" of durability in reality, if as I understand it S3 is split across availability zones in a region and your product has all splits in a monolithic DC, I would expect S3 to come out ahead in a more careful analysis. (But note that S3 is not really a seamless multi region product, though there is an option to set up cross region replication.)

For what it's worth, the UK has had a three-tier system of medicine licensing (prescription-only, pharmacy-only and general sale) since 1968. In 2006, pharmacists with additional training gained the right to independently prescribe any prescription-only medicine within their clinical competence. Repeat prescriptions can be requested online and sent electronically to a pharmacist of the patient's choice. Obviously YMMV.

I give him credit for even trying China. China is the opposite of libertarianism both culturally and politically. Even without the party, personal liberty and worth doesn't factor in much in China or anywhere where Confucianism took root. It's always in relations to others that you derive your worth. That aspect of my heritage has always sit poorly with me (then again I was raised in the US). I'm not saying one way is better than the other but for a libertarian to give it a try took some courage.
I was talking about someone programming in the very simple language (e.g. Simplicity, as discussed in the LtU conversation) in which the jets do exist. I guess for you that would be a compiler implementor.

In very rare cases do startups have that kind of growth and in many of them their unit costs are bad and they are making less and less money. In the few cases wherein sales are growing, AND they are more profitable, AND it wouldn't make more sense to put the money elsewhere - then yes - fat wage increases are possible, for a short period. In almost no companies is this reasonably sustainable.

You are talking about a decision that was made 18-20 years ago. It was bad decision in hindsight, but back then I'd imagine they were likely optimizing for a very different problem.

Even the UTF-8/Unicode example doesn't hold 18-20 years ago. UTF-8 was completely niche in 2003 and there were a number of flavors of Unicode, not all of which nicely fellback to ASCII like UTF-8 does. If I'm distributing software in 2003, I would have stuck to ASCII unless I was sure I needed Unicode, and if then I would have likely opted for UTF-16 because that was what was supported then.

I wouldn't question anyones decision for using UTF-16 in 2018 for software that had been supported since 2003.

It's quite easy to envision some ramps where the vehicle steers out of the main underground lane and ascends on a 20% incline for 10m, stops into a station not dissimilar to any other public transit station, with multiple platforms so multiple passengers can embark at the same time in different pods.

When passengers are secure, another ramp takes them back down - or even the same one, with proper synchronization on less busy stops. It would then drive the passengers to any station in the network with almost the same flexibility as a self driving car.

I would say the cost differentials to subway are massive, one order of magnitude for similar passenger throughputs. And it's not some unproven, highly speculative technology like self driving cars, it's something that could be built today with low tech (but I concede, high capital investment).

A key thing to remember is that 32k of RAM isn't the only memory available; often there was all sorts of longer term storage, and in many cases the data for a job was separate than the machine running the program, which could feed that data in using a number of methods. Today's programs load entire files into RAM because it's available; back then you might load a single record from the file at a time, and there were routines to seek through the offline data (subject to optimization) and manage the working memory more effectively.

It's also worth remembering that, at the time, a machine with 32k of RAM was one of the most powerful on the market, was still considerably expensive, and the alternative was paying (a team of) humans to do the work by hand. For all its shortcomings and the insane complexity required to get the machines to work properly, they were generally much faster than humans performing the same task and generally (assuming they were programmed correctly) could be relied on to make fewer mistakes. Their utility was remarkable, especially their ability to perform arithmetic very quickly, which was (and still is) quite tedious to perform by hand.
If you go back far enough, domains were an email away or at most a one time fee. I had one back that long ago, and remembered paying something for it, but that was because I didn’t have my own server. This was for a uucp/email gateway, so I needed someone with a server to batch up the email for me to download.

He does not have it as money, he has shares. Rich people do not hold substantial cash or bank deposits; at their scale it is almost criminally wasteful to do so.

His shares are market-priced. He is "worth" $150Bn because of today's share price, but there is no single pool of money available to buy him out. So in practice, he is worth a billion here, a billion there, so long as he doesn't scare the fishes.

If he transferred his shares to his employees, the price would crash and each employee's slice of the pie would not be worth $256,000 any more.

The same goes for creating a massive new supply of RSUs or share options. These dilute existing shareholders who, unsurprisingly, resent that other people get for free or at a discount what they paid for at market price. Accounting rules require these to be considered as expenses, meaning the reported profit or loss looks worse.

What would work better for Amazon's lowest-paid workers would be a higher wage. It's a more predictable and effective source of wealth sharing than showering lottery tickets from a helicopter.
