You can combine these effects by having a construction effort that's also heavily dependent on software - see Berlin Airport for an example.

The unique problems with software I think are:

a) some things are genuinely novel: how long will it take to make a self-driving car? Nobody really knows.

b) big business projects may have incoherent or incompatible requirements, but the interactions between these appear late in development and the effort to clear them up is huge and fundamentally sociological - it has to feed back into changing the business process.
> Also, I'm not even sure that this diagram makes sense overall because supply, demand and price are so tightly interconnected (with feedback loops in both directions) that it doesn't make sense to separate them like this.

I think the point is that Cuba is adversarial in large part because of the US's hostility towards it.
It's quite common to have a situation where in the short term y is a function of x, and in the longer term equilibrium-x is a function of ambient-y.

The cylinder-with-a-piston used to teach Boyle's law in secondary-school physics is a familiar example: in the short term pressure is a function of volume; in the longer term volume is a function of (external) pressure.

Where to start here. Well, let me preface by saying much of everything we are discussing is hugely influenced by what and individual's principles and beliefs are, I don't expect to change minds, and I accept other people have other opinions, I just want to defend mine.

First - it's well known that no WMDs were found in Iraq[1], and with the publication of the Downing Street Memo[2] there is evidence that Bush's presidency went in likely knowing that. Bush just wanted war, with whatever justification he could find.

Saddam and his hatred of the US is no justification of war. Plenty of nations rather dislike the US, but you can't just go in and 'make' them like you with guns. As bad as Saddam was, the death toll and utter hell brought upon Iraq's citizens by the invasion to 'bring democracy' is at best as bad as Saddam's regime. Some studies suggest half a million civilian deaths as a result of the war[3].

And let's be honest, Iraq was a huge catalyst for complete chaos in the middle east, which to this day is ongoing. ISIS grew out of the vacuum left by US forces 'liberation' of Iraqi's people.

Jesus, what a fucking mess. Seriously, why am I even having to spell this out?

Possible nuclear program??!!?! Give me a break. They found corroded, unusable chemical weapons which the UN mostly already knew about. And all that crap was probably best left rotting in Iraq than burning, and harming US forces as they tried to move it.

Celebrations in Baghdad? I want to puke. Those poor people sold another lie, they were destined to suffer more.

Now, down to following orders. I get that the military only works if everyone follows orders, I really do. However I will not be ordered to murder children for 'the greater cause', be that my country or god. There is a line any man/woman should refuse to cross, in my opinion, and as long as men do not question those who give the orders you cannot claim to have principles.

The adoption of electric busses over CNG doesn’t make a whole lot sense to me? In a perfect world going electric would be great - but it seems like CNG offers the right balance of lower fuel cost and cleaner emissions while maintaining fleet efficiency (no long charge times).

Would love to hear why electric buses actually have the lead over CNG if you take out the pure “feel good” factor of electric

> I have no idea what pain point Verizon is claiming to address

I recently shopped for an "unlimited" family plan for my kids. The pain point is "can I watch video?" As best I can determine, "unlimited" has become a marketing term for "yes, you can stream Netflix, to some degree."

There might be a cap on the number of GB of transfer, after which you pay a fee for more; or you can have no cap, but a limit after which your transfer rate drops precipitously. Several providers do a thing where they'll force Netflix (and I assume other streaming providers) to use a lower bitrate stream variant, to help you preserve you data.

There appears to no longer be an actual unlimited plan in the US. Even my grandfathered iPhone AT&T plan with "unlimited" data now has a cap after which it is rate-limited.

The price should approach the limit price if you assume there's no initial cost of making the software. And for most SaaS, there's still an upkeep cost the company must pay. Free software just isn't feasible in the real world past the things that can benefit everyone at a very low cost (where some entities will take it upon themselves to employ people to focus on, for example, the Linux kernel).

When you find a solution to your work related problems, please let me know. I have the same problem (am also from germany). I just want to "automate all the things", I don't care what it is: software deployment, infrastructure, proprietary business processes. I always get sick when i have to do things more than one time if it doesn't need to be "that" way. But from my experience one of the three things can / will happen:

1. you work in a big company the processes are so static and haven't been touched for decades. Every change is seen as a risk and therefore dismissed.

2. you work in a SME that actually is in need of someone that can automate different processes but the time will come when everything is done and you only get to work from time to time and get bored.

3. you work in a small company / startup and your skills are needed but it lacks of work life balance, job stability and sometimes a competitive salary.

As of now I'm (again) looking for a new job but have little to no hope that I'll find exactly what I'm looking for.

Who exactly isn't paying attention? Gates never says. I don't know anyone who is reasonably educated in business/economics who doesn't understand the software/publishing business model, which is taught... literally everywhere. I seriously have no idea what he's arguing against.

Even with the supply curve, real-world commercial software virtually always has unit costs. It generally takes marketing and/or sales to acquire new customers, ongoing server and storage costs, customer support... and ongoing bugfixes and improvements merely to remain competitive and not fall behind in the market.

When Microsoft calculates the profitability of Word, their costs aren't "virtually free" or anywhere even close to that.

Twistlock snares $33M Series C investment to secure cloud native environments
This is an interesting article, but I do not agree with a number of its points. On the main one: servant leaders are not required; they work on some teams, and this is great. But other teams need a strong leader who knows what he wants and directs the execution. And team members are often OK with it when probed -- "he is an asshole, but sharp and gets things done. We rarely work long hours and are respected by senior management for delivering. I am not changing teams".

Many topics follow a theme: leave us developers alone, we are working. Do not negotiate with our estimates, etc.. This may not work in the real world. When a project involves several teams (one builds hardware, second UI, third computation, fourth preps algorithms and tools for analysis, etc.), there are common test events and mid-course corrections. Blowing past schedule affects others -- canceling a test event for a geographically distributed team is expensive.

In such cases when the developer says that they need an extra 2 months do X, "what can you do in 2 weeks" is a reasonable counter question. It may be an unreliable junk and those 2 weeks of work will have to be tossed and redone, but this may still be the best option in the grand scheme of things. Here developers often dig in and start throwing articles and links on technical debt; making them finally write a quick, limited capability prototype is a MAJOR effort. My 2c.

Hackers break into bank’s database, siphon millions of naira from customers
THERE was pandemonium yesterday at two branches of a commercial bank in Umuahia, the Abia State capital when many customers besieged the bank over withdrawals running into millions of naira made from their accounts at midnight.
As early as 8.00am, many customers of the bank have crowded the two branches of the bank located along Bank Road in Umuahia, with lamentations over debit alerts, amounting to millions of naira which they received between 1am and 3am yesterday.
The customers, who stated that the unusual withdrawal occurred very early in the morning yesterday while they were asleep, expressed shock that they woke up to see that the money in their accounts have been withdrawn.
A senior staff of one of the affected branches, who spoke on anonymity blamed the incident on “international hackers.”
Mrs Nnenna Ukachi could not control her tears as she stated that she came all the way from Bende Local Government Area of the state to withdraw the sum of N250,000 to complete payment to transfer a sick daughter to the Universty of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, UNTH, Enugu, only to find that her account has been emptied.
The woman who couldn’t control her tears lamented that the money was sent by a good Nigerian who read about the plight of her only child and decided to help.

Doubtful, maybe if the power architecture was more accessible for gamers and the average individual.

Most ARM & MIPS CPUs just don't yet have the raw power people have come to expect.
I'm not sure if you mean "user" or "reactOS devs".

If the latter, I can't be sure (besides the fact it's modern and has plenty of features), but as a user, I chose btrfs for its "subvolumes".

With subvolumes, you can selectively mount subdirectories in the partition without an explicit "bind" mount.

For example, I have 3 linux installs on subvolumes /rootfsUbuntu1804 /rootfsArch /rootfsFedora27. They all share the whole partition so I wont regret giving one too much space that it will never use, or worry about resizing partitions to create a new one. The fstab of any looks something like:

UUID=... / btrfs subvol=rootfsUbuntu1804,compress 0 0

(the "compress" option there is also neat.)
If using as /, you must add rootflags=subvol=rootfsUbuntu1804 to your boot options.

I also have my home directory and other "shared filesystem" things (like docker) as subvolumes, each being shared to reduce redundancy. The only downside is graphical file managers see each mount as a "device" so I have a lot of noise in the sidebar of Dolphin or Nautilus.
These are bugs related to caching and thus unrelated to cpu architecture.

The core lesson appears to be that Intel has been playing loose with security. That is not a fundamental x86 problem, not so long as AMD is producing competent cpus.

Adding onto this, in China you also have to deal with the Great Firewall as well

The apps used in Taiwan and China are significantly different. In China, its anything owned by tencent, baidu, or alibaba.

The app market in Taiwan uses mostly English offerings (google, facebook, instagram) with a combination of Asianic/Non-china based apps including Line, which is similar to Whatsapp or Wechat.

They could definitely hamper mechanisms that use your location to enforce DRM, like video streaming services.
Taiwan is not "China" for reasonable and informed definitions of China. Independent of that, to the best of my understanding:

(1) The talent pools in Taiwan and China are different

(2) The markets in Taiwan and China are very different

Right now the Chinese market is more important than the Chinese talent pool, but both are important. Basing an accelerator in Taiwan would be good for Taiwan, but it would not meaningfully engage with the Chinese market or talent pool. It's too late in the game for that.

Even if YC's ultimately goal were political and humanitarian it would still be more effective to base the accelerator in China and use the additional leverage gained from being in China to better pursue those goals.

> How does it compare to running a Hackintosh? Is it much easier to set up?

I have no idea about Hackintosh, but you can efficiently just grab ready-to-use VM image somewhere and use it with libvirt/virt-manager, e.g convert VMWare one. It's just works.

> Do you still need to have compatible hardware and to mess with drivers and system configuration?

I only had issues with sound since QEMU doesn't have compatible sound hardware and HDA driver for Hackintosh didn't work out-of-the-box. This can be solved by passing USB audio card.

Addition: obviously your CPU must support whatever instruction set macOS require otherwise it's won't work.

> How easy are OS upgrades?

There were some breakages, but they usually fixed within QEMU upstream in few weeks. Though this mean you might need recent QEMU sometimes.

> How is the performance, including graphics?

Performance is great. Surprisingly without GPU you can even run some image editing software with lag since Apple software OpenGL implementation is more or less working.

Or you can just buy compatible GPU and pass it to VM, then it's also just work without any issues.

> Any issues?

My VM image HWID got banned from using App Store fairly soon. Fortunately Xcode and all software I possibly need can be downloaded without it so I never did any research on how Hackintosh users solve it.

I got thrown into a legacy web project that used sqlite as the database. It was a small internal-only app, I guess the original developer(s) figured it was so small that sqlite would be plenty and it would reduce the environment complexity.

Unsurprisingly they were wrong. It was small, but sqlite couldn't handle multiple users. I believe this was before sqlite had WAL support, so reading would lock the DB. The 'solution' was to split the sqlite database into many smaller DBs that would allow users to use the site at the same time as long as they were in different areas. This greatly added to the complexity of the application. Some reports would need to access multiple databases to get what it needed, so it would still lock out people. Complexity was much higher then having all the data in a single postgresql/mysql database. All the users hated the system and often ran into DB lock issues.

> sqlite explicitly says that it is not meant for client-server configuration

They are right and their advice should be heeded.
Are renters not part of the community, or are you saying they don't know what's in their self-interest?

You haven't said a ton, but it seems like you're using "community" as code for home values. However, that might not at all in the best interest for many in the community. It's particularly of importance to home-owners. It might be to the detriment of renters.

1) Everything you say is correct, and I have no idea why you're being downvoted.

2) In my experience, the supply+demand curve is one of the most misunderstood concepts in economics, and it took me a long time in college until I found an economics professor who could explain it properly. A lot of really intelligent people I know don't understand it (even though they think they do), and in my experience most business people don't actually understand it (that's fine, they don't usually need to), but I am fairly shocked to see Gates misunderstand it... unless this article is written by an intern or something, which I find more likely.
