I've emailed the author of micro.blog once over some small technical issue with their bot and they were very responsive solving the issue within days. That's one of the best support experiences I've ever had. Usually big companies ignore or consider user reported problems as a non-issue.

> I mean seriously, mapping a mouse to an analog stick input like that?

You know, I just loaded Dark Souls up and that's completely wrong. I'm not sure if it was a very poor initial version and got updated, but that's not how it functions on my system. The mouse rotates the camera exactly as you would expect. Just as Tomb raider and every other 3rd person PC game does. I'm not using any third party tools.

> And the worst part, the most damning and unforgivable part, is that they never bothered to fix it themselves.

Well, someone sure did. Maybe it came with the DLC pack for the first one. I got it as a bundle in the Prepare to Die edition which includes the DLC. Then again, I'm pretty sure the Prepare to Die edition was the only PC version.

> I hear it's pretty good, but this is bullshit and you know it.

Yeah, I sorta don't, because at this point I'm not sure how much you've even played the game, because you seem to be getting details that are core to your argument completely incorrect.
This premise is ridiculous.

Just visit https://youtubemp3.rip/ or any of the other thousand sites that do this.

Or, you can just record the music as you listen to it using Audacity for example, and save them as an MP3 or any other format.

Of course, these tasks require about a minute of minimal effort. In our fast paced modern world of music streaming, who has time to load up an audio program and hit Record? Or type in a Youtube URL and hit Convert? I'm sure the blog author cant be bothered with such things.

People seem to miss the forest for the trees. Anyone who thinks a company as small as System76 could make every part of a computer in the US is just delusional. It'd take billions of dollars just to build a fab for CPUs, let alone everything other part.

There's been growing discontent in the US about the loss of our manufacturing capability, but instead of encouraging companies like this to bootstrap (some) manufacturing by building the parts that make sense here, people choose to mock them.

So we charged hourly rates of say $3 to play games, or $20 for all night until 6am. My job was to get people to stay. If someone comes in and plays a few rounds of counter-strike we make $3-6, but if I convince them to play Starcraft, Baldurs Gate or Rainbow Six they'd stay all night. I would encourage people to join me in games like R6 and we'd spend bloody hours on the game. I was also good enough at CS, HL etc that if we played a tournament I could "just win" and again get people to stay and try again. I miss the muscle reflexes of 19 year old me.

You want the internet to degrade to a centrally-controlled, one-way medium rather than enabling the kind of dialogue you and I are having right now?

> lies and ways to steer you have become part of the game and it's up to you to see through that.

This is arguably how it has always been. Never before have we had such great resources to see through things. Sometimes, what we end up seeing makes us uncomfortable, because the world isn't as nice as we would like for it to be. We can either accept truths and work to change them to be better, or accept pleasant fictions and outright lies to spare ourselves.

Deleting the internet won't solve any of these issues. Well, it might help teen bullying some....
Asterisk is derived from asteriskos, the Greek diminutive for star (aster) - hence "little star". In addition, a black hole is one of several possible lifecycle end-points of a star, so pronouncing A* as A-star is pretty accurate.
Google has a track record of fixing Chrome bugs far far faster than Apple fixes Safari bugs so the point still stands. You'd be safer and more secure if allowed to run real Chrome on iOS than Safari by every measurable metric. In other words it's effectively provable the restriction is not about security.

> Apple doesn't want to allow that.

Yes, that's all it's about. Apple's control. Other excuses people make up for their reasons are demonstrably false.

DIY PROJECTS FOR HallOWEEN TO MAKE a SPOOKY TOWN
to me it seems as though there is no precedent for it.

Compare to IBM. IBM created the somewhat open "PC" platform in the 80s. Within ten years there were dozens, maybe hundreds, of companies making "PC Compatible" computers. IBM stopped making PCs. Their platform "won" the marketplace but they, as a company, left the marketplace. IBM is still in business because their primary business was not making or selling personal computers.

Another comparison might be Google. Its a stretch because android is not a hardware platform as such, more of software. However Android phone is relatively open. As a platform Android has 'won' the marketplace. But Google's primary business is not selling phones or phone OSes. They make a handful of phones, and might stop at any time.

There was the 3d printer company. Makerbot. They were theoretically supposed to be open. However they, well some of them in the company, wound up deciding it was not possible because of clones. So they went closed. They also sold out to a huge conglomerate whose primary business is not personal 3d printers. I am not sure if you could say their 'platform' has 'won'....

So if I am right, then if System76 creates an 'open platform' then there will be Compatibles springing up all over. System76 'platform' might win the marketplace. But what will happen to them as a company? What is their primary business.

People mention Prusa. Maybe that might work.
You can make a pretty good guess at strike price from Box's financing history. They raised a Series F in 2013 at $2B post. There are currently 141M shares outstanding, of which 12.5M were offered in the IPO and roughly 10% of the company (13M) shares was sold in the Series F & Series G, so figure 120M shares outstanding at the time of his option grant. That implies a strike price between about $10 (@ the $1.225 Jul 2012 Series E valuation) and $17 (@ the Dec 2013 Series F valuation).

At the end of the 6-month lockup Box's shares were worth $17, so that would imply his options were anywhere from +$175K (he'd only have vested half of them, with standard 4-year grants) to just slightly underwater. If he held to the $28 peak this May, he'd be anywhere from +$500K -> +$900K, but if he kept holding them, he could potentially be underwater today. It's a nice additional bonus (particularly if he got in at the Series E valuation), but not enough to make one rich.
Working from paycheck to paycheck you don't earn 3 times as much and you don't save. Most of my friends who live here can't afford to buy a house, they rent. Almost all my friends who left SF Bay were able to buy within months. Cost of living and the housing prices in SF Bay are extremely disproportionate to salaries.
> not all of which have customers that care about penny precision.

No, I think all customers care about penny precision when you are talking about money they have or owe. Either the amounts in question are small enough that a penny isn't negligible, even if it's not important, or the amounts are large enough that an error like that really shouldn't exist, because they should be taking it very seriously.

People might be willing to let it go because it's a small amount, but they'll remember it.

> Overflow modes aren't always consistent between all your systems either, so I think in practice, fixnums also have issues and the advantage isn't totally clearcut.

They're consistent in that it's generally trivial to allocate enough bits to it that an overflow can't happen in any sane inputs. As opposed to floating point, where errors happen throughout the entire range of sane inputs.

> Since, you're basically throwing away precision every time you round, it's preferable to use floats to pass data back and forth and only round before you display.

No, you're generally not throwing out precision when you round in this case. You're throwing out error. If you apply a percentage to money, they you might be throwing out precision, and that's a case you should think about. But for currencies any time you round you are purely fixing floating point errors that comes naturally by mixing number bases in this way.

> t's preferable to use floats to pass data back and forth and only round before you display.

You are explicitly saying it's preferable to use a lossy encoding for pass data back and forth because as long as you remember to do so there's a fairly easy way to recover the loss. the question remains, why is that preferably to using a medium that isn't lossy for any sane input you could want to represent?

> Then the real kicker: does every ad provider need to do this, or just the ones that are too big to fail? Requiring that level of effort would quash small ad providers in the same way that onerous copyright verification laws would quash small content hosts.

It comes down to what you think is more important. Lessening false advertising that manipulates the democratic process (and of course the big question is to what extent this can be lessened by such policies) or having an environment conducive to small advertising companies.

I don’t think the internet is the problem, it’s the centralisation and focus on dopamine addiction.

I mean, the internet used to be a place where people shared deep meaningful content that interested them. Sure, your rock collection or biology blog on the different frog species of some random island probably aren’t interesting to most people, but the effort spent on those digital journals and the insights they provided is the internet at its best.

Social media on the other hand is the internet at its worst. What value can you ever have within the limited confines of a twitter chat? And what value does the ability for billions of anonymous people commenting and/or liking really add to anything? I’ve been around since before eternal September, so I know it can be valuable, but that was probably the last time it was.

I think reddit speaks volumes of the status of social media these days. Almost everywhere you go, it feels like strangers waste their time trying to push whatever political agenda they have, and it works on the internet, because in the internet you don’t notice the people who ignore you and simply walk away. You’re only ever confronted by the people who respond.

I’ve noticed that over time, this simple fact destroys anonymous social media. I say anonymous but I probably should say strangers instead, because Facebook is just as bad. I’ve removed friends on Facebook that where alt-right, just like I’ve cut them out of my life because I didn’t want to debate whether holocaust was real every time I saw them, so these people certainly noticed the impact of their opinions, but all the thousands of hateful bastards and trolls who post nonsense on the few history groups I follow might as well be anonymous and will never know that I disprove of them. Because I’m not going to waste my time on them, I’ll just walk away.

It’s been a while since I’ve even been to reddit. I’ve had wonderful conversations on there, but these days you can barely make it three posts into something before it’s about some crackpot political issue. Just look at /r/technology, it used to be a slow version of HN that also featured arstechica articles, now it’s a political hellhole, and it’s getting worse, probably because I’m not the only person leaving.

I’m not sure what can be done though. Censorship isn’t a great option, but I have to agree with the NYT that it’s not working out great right now. More than a 100 people died of the measles in Europe this year because a bunch of fools got together on the internet and decided vaccines were bad, and that’s just the start of it.

I doubt we’ll really succeed though, I fully expect a lot of the less regulated countries to go full cyberpunk dystopia in the next 25 years, and I think it’ll give a huge advantage to the pro-censorship countries who don’t have to deal with the nonsense, but they’ll fit right into the cyberpunk dystopia, won’t they?
I have one and it's an abdolute beast.
This to me is a reminder why it is so important that the people control the means of production. Whether it be the Chinese Government or Amazon, concentrated power leads that power to make anti social decisions. Harm to the environment, harm to individuals, and harm to society can be incentivized by concentration of power.

I believe a vitally important way to fight those powers is to build independent people-first power. We can do it. Our earth is so productive now that it’s possible to live like a king without hurting others. But we must abstain from buying this cheap plastic garbage like the product the woman found the note in. Buying products we know will become waste, or whose workers we can’t account for, means we are directly supporting the destruction of the earth and of society.

We have to stand up. We must. There is no other way to change. Not voting, not blogging. We must stop being consumers of harmful products and use our money to support organizations that truly represent change.

2010-2014 in college. Contract work for a startup, approx 50 dollars per hour.

2015 worked full time for the startup, 100k salary no stock.

2016 moved to SV for FAANG company 1, negotiated well, 220k total comp.

2017 stayed at company 1. Signing bonus was very large, so total comp dropped to 190k depsite raise.

2018 moved to FAANG company 2. Negotiated well, total comp 300k.

Roughly 45% increase per year. I think I was able to negotiate well in both my job changes because I was happy with my current job and not in need of a new one. So I was able to ask for my ideal compensation, and I was not afraid to walk away.
