Firstly, the higher you build, the more space you need between buildings, and the more space inside the buildings is used for infastructure. There are diminishing returns, and it runs out that areas with good coverage of 5 story buildings can have very high density, often more than areas with high rises.

the IP Juggernauts are pushing so hard and strong that they will be their demise, hopefully.

they are trying too hard to have their claws on every jurisdiction and be the international police that can prosecute everyone based on content piracy. And they are very close to that.

They already have control on north America and southeast Asia (via US, ChinaN and TPP agreements). Now they are "fixing" what they wanted im GDPR but lawmakers were too clever to see the tricks then, so they are being more explicit.

But eventually, what people will start doing is what we see in china. everyone in country A will do whatever it takes to consume content/interact with other people via sites in country B, which is not under the same jurisdiction of country A.

Hopefully people will still be able to live as they live today, and only yhe advertising market will suffer as brands now can't reliably reach one market or another. Maybe that fixes advertising too and force brands to sponsor services regardless of demographic. or maybe I am too optimistic and the IP conglomerates will win and people will not have access to any content that is not made and authorized by them.
The guy is just not good enough and it start to annoy me because he is not taking steps to improve. I find it very difficult, it concerns an otherwise nice guy that I have coffee or beers with from time to time.

It took me awhile to learn, but I keep personal and professional especially with subordinates and supervisors strictly separate. I wouldn’t be grabbing “coffee and beers” with him. It makes it that much harder to do what needs to be done.

Second thought, how does an experienced salaried employee ever “work too slowly” and not meet reasonable deadlines. If I think the deadline is reasonable, I didn’t push back, and there were no external factors , I’m going to work over to meet it - especially if it involves a new to me technology.
> This is more the fault of NIMBYs and supply&demand-denialists

I don't think you quite grasp the effects of a massive influx of hundreds to thousands of new individuals making $150k-250k. It increases rent across the board, which impacts all the people in an area. Sure, it might create a few new jobs for baristas and shopkeepers, a few bartenders and waitresses. But ultimately it just leads to gentrification and prices people out of the market. It negatively affects all renters and only benefits speculators and owners in the area.

You wonder why people are angry? It's because of tonedeaf responses from big companies pushing their agendas.
> This is more the fault of NIMBYs and supply&demand-denialists who work hard to prevent new housing from going up.

I wonder if the supply-and-demand model you're referring to is insufficient in this scenario. It sounds like political factors are at play here as well.

There's a lot of vc money floating around China(lots of nouveau riche people + limited ways to invest). This means a lot of competition. Unlike Uber Didi has a lot of competition. Consumers will use whichever service discounts rides the most.

I simply see many good and skilled workers paid way too little. How am I earning as much as a med tech with 12 years experience after being in IT proper for 2 years ?
The answer lays, admitted within my limited view, in the skilled labor force simply accepting middling pays. Which is maybe harder to pull off in the IT branch it attracting more workers not ready to simply accept lower pays for their work.

In the end I have colleagues with way more experience than me earning less than me simply because they asked for less...Somehow its more a kind of established cultural thing and companies / management taking good advantage of it. Lets not pretend C levels are badly paid in Germany XD.

Varies - how much will you spend in retirement and what do you expect for a return? You need to factor in inflation, since $1 today buys more today than it will when you retire.

https://www.nerdwallet.com/investing/retirement-calculator is a good calculator for this. (though I'm not a fan of its spending assumptions - if in retirement you have paid for houses and cars you definitely will be spending far less than today)

wasn't this part of their plan ?
Most of this you’re arguing against someone’s subjective opinions, which makes no sense. They are unhappy with the car and service and are taking advantage of a program to return the car. This is how it’s supposed to work. The customer has less bad will against the company and gets out of a car they don’t like. And other potential customers can see that there is less risk for them is they don’t like their new Tesla.

But this part...

Unless he can't stand a small bug in an optional, beta feature.

That’s not okay. Shadow braking is not a small bug. It’s a dangerous thing that can happen. Calling something “beta” doesn’t work when you’re driving down the road at 70 MPH. That’s just plain dangerous. Putting something like that out into the public as a “beta” feature puts not only the customer but everyone else on the road in danger.

I have no problem with a company testing car features on the road with test drivers who are well trained (with well marked cars). But “beta” doesn’t belong on the highway in the hands of a customer.
Where do you upload it to? What hardware? How much RAM? What's the CPU's clockspeed? Bus speed? Those are the right questions to ask when researching a new electronic gadget's capabilities, but I'm sure those are the wrong questions to ask if presented with hardware that could hold consciousness. Humanity understands so very little about consciousness, that, were we able to simulate it under the umbrella of AI, it would still advance the pre-natal field of uploaded digital consciousness.

I can think of specific exceptions, especially using a very strict definition of the field of AI research, that says that the fields are separate, but until we've succeeded at both, it's impossible to say what was actually necessary in order to get there.

One thing that's frustrated me about FF (and kept me using Chrome) is that local development is a pain in general... for example, when I type `localhost` in my nav bar, Chrome autofills the port; FF doesn't (it just puts `localhost/`, which is useless). Next, FF interacts oddly with NGINX, telling me `The plain HTTP request was sent to HTTPS port`, whereas Chrome just passes me right along, giving me a little `Not Secure` text next to the URL.

Given I have to go to this website about 1000x per day, you can see why using FF is painful...

Anyone have any advice (on config, for example) for fixing this? And if anyone on the FF team is listening... I'd like to use your browser, but this has kept me from doing so.

We've had quite a few disasters with humans in the loop. And humans are still in the loop, no one is banning them from the exchanges. As long as there is an arbitrage opportunity, why wouldn't someone take advantage of it?

The only thing happening is the low value brokers/traders are being taken out of the system and automated, just like people were made redundant in other industries. But for investors who like digging in and doing their homework, opportunity is abound. Everyone else can enjoy their standard index returns to keep up with inflation.

I made this change just to see. So far it does appear to have lowered the energy impact score a bit, but I'm not sure it's enough to matter yet. I guess we'll know in a couple hours.

Between this and AMP it looks like google's abusing their market dominance to seize control over the open internet.

We were able to somewhat break up microsoft's attempt at something similar in the 90s through anti-trust legislation, perhaps it's time to look at google?

On a side note, it seems like the openness of the internet has come under attack more and more often in the past few years, from a combination of corporate and government entities. It's absolutely essential that we keep the internet open, transparent, and free.

Yeah, it was quite a reality check to hear our host talk very nonchalantly about how Amin took his father away and had him killed - it was just so common that men of his age had their fathers murdered by Amin, that it didn't even seem to register to him as unusual (of course, that's just my interpretation).

It cannot be said often enough: when you reference someone else's JavaScript in your solution in a way in which it has access to either the DOM or user interface components, it's no longer your solution. You therefore cannot, with any level of integrity claim that your solution is secure as you simply don't know what's happening in that bit of JS which is loaded by the solution into the user-space.

Lol, this is pretty much Economics 101. When Google demands more space, so when they indeed move into the whole space, it will get more expensive.

Ok, the upcoming snowball effect is much more difficult to understand - you need at least a PhD in Math and CS for that: that extra space needs to be filled with chairs and people of whom some or many move from abroad. (Quite likely also from existing Google offices to keep the Google spirit.) These people create additional demand in the housing market. More over other startups, possibly popular and highly funded ones will follow suit and the same thing repeats, with lower magnitude though.
Where's the list for which subdomains Google considers "trivial"?

As I mentioned further downthread: This is especially pronounced in Kreuzberg, the whole district was supposed to be torn down and turned into a planned utopian living quarter. The Kottbuser Tor was supposed to be turned into a highway crossroad and the buildings there stem from those plans.
If there was bad news to be given, he'd just melt into the background and let someone else do it, even though he'd hired me. (It was a rather dysfunctional company in general).

At the level I’m at now, I always ask the hiring manager how do they deliver bad news and what is their theory on feedback. I’m usually responsible for major initiatives even if I am 70% a heads down coder. I actually found it refreshing when a senior manager told me straight up that I missed a requirement and that it was a “big f-up”, after dealing with managers that beat around the bush.

I’ve got work to do, initiatives to lead, etc. I don’t have time to be reading between the lines. I want a manager who lays it on the line so I can course correct. Working at a small company, major mistakes mean a lot.
If someone is working for free on a voluntary basis, they're probably not being "exploited". When I was trying to build a startup, I got plenty of free help from various friends and interested parties who were excited about what I was building - but nothing on the level of employee-level work. Hell, if someone was remotely useful and willing to put in real hours, I'd have called them co-founders and given them equity, happily.

This is important! If someone has enough skills/ambition to be actually useful to an early stage startup, they can make better money elsewhere. So if they're putting in their time with the startup, they're being motivated by something else. That doesn't mean they're being exploited. It means their interests can't be measured entirely in dollars.

Tesla dropped production to 4716-ish cars this week. A few weeks ago, Tesla was at 6000 cars/week, but apparently that was unsustainable.

They're now below 5k/week and dropping. Rumors is that they have supply issues with SiC MOSFETs and can't build enough power-inverters.
Kreuzberg is a very mixed place, poor, hip (arts, tech etc.) and far-left all intermingle here.

Don’t just fine Big Tech for abuses; instead, cut them down to size
This "tear it all down and just go higher" attitude pisses people off to an extent that is difficult to convey. People are sick of being mugged by economics and having their homes, neighborhoods, villages, streets ravaged by "more at all costs." People are sick of being priced out to the suburbs, displaced by rich corporations and all these rich young people.

Come to a European city and walk through streets with hundreds of years of history for some perspective. Then you can advocate to tear it all down and build it all up for some passing tech bubble fad straight to their faces and see what kind of response you get.

Bad faith means not believing what you say ("with the intention of deceiving someone or doing harm").

One could very well imagine (and some of us actually know) people that legitimately believe that the climate change we're through is not man made -- they say it cause they believe it, they don't try to knowingly deceive anyone.

It's another thing to say something because you do not trust scientists (including scientific consensus) because e.g. you believe that they extrapolate from incomplete data and not enough understanding, or to prefer this or that fringe researcher to the majority opinion, and another to be in bad faith.

* The back-end test server is slow, flakey etc.

* You want to test scenarios you can't easily make happen on demand like slow responses, 503 errors, dropped connections etc.
