Hopefully those employees in Vietnam or Poland would soon start demanding higher salaries. If you're selling your labor into a global market, charge what the market will bear, which is evidently a small fortune.
Bup, it backs things up
One of the things the author points out is that restaurants in SF are moving toward "fast dining" type setups that require less labour as well as simpler dishes.

For the sake of argument, let us imagine that skyrocketing labour and housing costs make the traditional sit-down restaurant extinct in SF (or reduced to a handful of ultra-high-end establishments). This in turn makes being a waiter or a line cook no longer a viable profession in SF.

If - and I recognize this is a gigantic if - enough of the massive amount of wealth being created by the SF tech industry can be taxed and shared with the people impacted by the loss of those jobs, so that they can continue to maintain a decent standard of living, is there actually a problem?

When a waiter loses their job, I don't imagine it's the loss of waiting on tables that puts them in a tough spot. It's losing their income and their ability to afford food and shelter. The problem now is that the externalities of the tech industry fall upon low-wage workers whose jobs become economically unworkable. The rich are getting richer and the poor, poorer. But on the whole, total wealth is increasing.

Why can't we redistribute some of the tech wealth to these put-upon low-wage workers and leave everyone better off?
Apple is actually more aggressive in terms of what's allowed in the background AFAIR.

But they have an arguably better push notification system which seems to use less battery and work better with sleeping apps.
I'm not sure this is the case, the website talks about propietary "battery savers", not about the standard Android one. I find it completely possible that they kill apps regardless of ongoing notifications.

Not sure if this is entirely right but I think technical decentralization depends on its participants making conscious decisions to react to events, but that doesn't happen and somehow you need to assign higher weight (centralization) to certain participants (core developers) to correct a few things.
In iOS, you have a few narrow cases where you're allowed to run in the background; some of which are specified to only maybe run.

In Android, you're technically allowed to run whenever you feel like it, but starting with Android 6, Google started limits, but I don't think apps get much feedback about when they might run, or if they can access the network when they do run. And the multitude of OEMs that are all dieing to make their product stick out means it's really a crapshoot; some oems were trying to do this before Google's release of the feature, some enable Google's version, but very aggressively, etc.

I understand the intent of these features, but there really needs to be a better way. Some apps do real, useful, work in the background, and it's not great for users when that can't happen. Many apps should probably only run when they're in the foreground. Either way, the app should be informed, so it can do the best it can, including informing users why it's not working and being able to direct users to where they can fix it, if desired.
Yup. But I would say that pizza in the US is disapointing in general if you know italian pizza.
May reflect on how different people read things differently. I agree that a lot of pages are spent on what you've just described, but to me it was a weird and minor plot point, and I never mention it because I don't see how it's worth mentioning.

The game-theoretic aspects of the book, on the other hand, and the final comeback of aforementioned nerd, are something I like to point out when summarizing this book.
As a developer, you are aware of the limitations so that you can work with them. E.g. when your app is closing down you have X ms to wrap your work up. But you can also request a longer task, or request the app to work in the background in certain scenarios. And as there is only 'one iOS', it will always work as 'agreed on'.

It seems like in Android the developer just assumes their app will be able to run in the background, except some versions just decides to kill it based on their own agendas.

You can, for certain classes of application, and for certain types of tasks (like background downloads). It’s entirely managed by the OS, and is often reduced or suspended entirely under Low Power mode. But Apple allows for other kinds of wake notifications and is usually pretty good with Push Notifications due to carrier partnerships. That said, Apple does intentionally make certain apps a lot harder: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35388086/is-there-a-way-... And... well, it rarely allows apps that duplicate built-in functionality on the App Store. So most iOS users stick to default apps. But at least one app takes advantage of Apple allowing the microphone in the background to create a “smart” alarm clock which Apple has featured as the App of the Day: Sleep Cycle alarm clock http://www.sleepcycle.com
Probably depends how much of your life you expect to spend at a restaurant. If it's less than all of it I don't think you can expect much of a work/life balance.
That seems like old Mtproto.
Only issue I have on my OnePlus 3T is Slack. I'm constantly missing or getting late notifications. And I tried fixing the issues with their support, but it didn't lead anywhere. They tried their best, but I can't blame the phone vendor because I have a dozen more apps with notifications, services and whatnot running quite well.

I've been out of Android app development for some time, but I hang out with a few Android developers, they usually have most of the issues with Samsung, they say that there are often some quirks that have to overcome. That mostly corresponds to my outdated experience.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro even kills Google Maps navigation after few minutes (with screen on). I have to use MAPS.ME, it doesn't kill it.
I don't want Slack or Gmail to deliver notifications instantly. I'd love to have functionality that saves battery by delaying them.
This is a serial problem with Middle Eastern restaurants. For lovers of the cuisine, there's always cheap and delicious alternatives, so we feel a little betrayed paying 2 or 3x for the same dish and finding it isn't as tasty the hole-in-the-wall joint with plastic tables. This isn't a knock on Tawla specifically, but as you said, the food has to come first. I am willing to pay, but when I leave I don't want to be thinking of a $15 meal I had that was better.
you can learn anything on your own as long as you have a method that works for you and the will to stick at it.

This sounds like yet another technical solution to a problem that is mostly societal.
I had problems with synchronization between my OnePlus 3 and my Fitbit tracker (it'd work fine for an hour or a day and then just stop), but those problems went away when I upgraded to a OnePlus 6T. Regarding slack notifications and similar things, all I can say is that they sometimes appear a few seconds later than on my active desktop, but I don't find that delay to be a problem.

I don't agree with your comment on "rage" and "inferior".

SA-25 tops-out at about 4.5km, 14,800ft, against a manoeuvering target. Each successive generation of Russian MANPADS seems to push another 500m higher.

Bear in mind that the Airlander's ceiling was previously stated at 16,000ft so there's not a lot of margin.
> I'm struggling to think of a progressive tax scheme that calls for 99.9% tax rate even on the highest bracket. $1 vs $1000 is such a bad straw man I'm not sure why you'd weaken your argument with it.

Choose your own numbers. I made the argument because the point isn't the numbers, the point is that attenuating the reward distribution changes human capital decisions.

Both these apps allow you to do that in-app. I have Gmail not notify me for work emails and notify me for stuff on my personal account.
Its more of an issue with the OS, *nix is showing its age as a useful OS as we are moving away from a static and simple system (PC's, servers, etc) to more distributed computing.
> I feel that the book is bifurcated amongst readers who read for literary quality vs conceptual quality.

Yup. I'm strongly in the latter camp (as I'm fond of saying, if I wanted to read character development, I'd pick up literally any other genre - everything nowadays is about people and their emotional dramas; I like my sci-fi when it's about ideas). The whole Trilogy is pretty dense in concepts, including some insanely beautiful ideas, while also not venturing too far outside established science. I liked in particular how thinking of various... factions (to not spoiler too much) is built around lack of FTL in the books' universe.

I would strongly recommend Clojure, which is dynamically but strongly typed LISP on JVM. The best part is the REPL, which is only true if you use a well-tuned IDE. Personally I still use NightCode but there are many others out there.

For me the biggest selling points were immutable data structures by default, nice core library (reduce, reductions, iterate, map with multiple arguments, ...) and super simple syntax. Being a LISP after all.

And to extend to the client side you can turn onto ClojureScript, which is almost the same language which compiles to JS instead of JVM bytecode.

> they won't be motiviated to fix until those old versions are cut off server-side and their implementation suddenly stops working.

I've never used one of these products, so I might be wrong, but as far as I understood it, the way WhatsApp bans your phone number if you use a third party client is done in a way that is permanent? So instead of saying "sorry your version is too old please use a newer one" they say "sorry your version is too old we don't want to see you ever again even if you fix it". It's totally okay to do something like "sorry the version is too old" if it's not your number that's banned but the outdated protocol implementation.

> the maintainers have basically given up and abandoned the projects

Because WhatsApp is sending DMCA requests like crazy [1] and the constant protocol changes make it hard for third party developers. See the opinion by one dev here [2].

If WhatsApp came out with a public statement about supporting third party clients, listing their conditions, it would be really great progress. Matrix, IRC, etc all thrive with different client implementations, even Threema officially tolerates the OpenMittsu third party client. The official communication I've seen by WhatsApp is the opposite.

Yes, those were two provocative words in what I posted. I can see how that could be unhelpful.

I replaced "rage" with "denunciatory" and "inferior" with "entitled". Hopefully those changes make the core point smoother.

On principle I agree with you. I'd be perfectly happy walking into a restaurant that raised prices by 20% across the board and put a note on the menu saying "tipping not expected - our prices account for service."

The problem is that every actor - from the diner to the server - is so used to the tipping system. Diners won't factor in the fact that they don't have to tip, because they will probably still want to tip (as mentioned in the article, a lot of people like the feeling of control tipping gives them). Servers won't like it because unlike a service charge or tip, that 20% baked in isn't only for them and they will feel like the owner is shorting them compared to tips (even if they aren't).

Path dependence is hard. I don't know how to fix this situation.
The extremely thin GaAs cells from Alta Devices are flexible and even higher efficiency than monocrystalline silicon cells, with excellent power to mass ratio.

Multijunction inverted metamorphic cells are even higher efficiency and also offer excellent power-to-mass, over 1000 W/kg.

They're probably still too expensive for a huge airship though. Even if it's a military airship.

I wouldn't necessarily ascribe anything shady here (which I got a bit of from your comment, if that was intended).

I found this helpful in debugging an issue I've had with my OnePlus - namely, many apps that I'd like to get notifications from abruptly stop getting them after a while, and I have to reopen them to get notifications. Today alone I had to manually open Facebook Messenger and Venmo in order to get notifications from them - this seriously degrades the functionality of those apps since opening Messenger multiple times a day still isn't apparently sufficient to exempt it from being "optimized".

Is it just me or is the cloud era of developer tooling fundamentally weird? It seems like there used to be this tacit assumption that a good tool is one that starts small with you and grows as your needs grow. How do I log in to a remote machine? ssh. How do I log in to hundreds of remote machines? ssh. How do I reverse tunnel my local webserver through a firewall that only allows HTTPs traffic? ssh.

Of course, there were always systems that asked a lot from you before they gave anything back. I think everyone's first experience of SQL was probably "what?" followed by "no, really, what?" Kneel at the altar of the cartesian product, my child, that you may be reborn into the kingdom of relational algebra. But, hey, if apostasy is your bag there's still nothing stopping you from putting all your data in one big table. If you're good enough at it you might even snag a job at Google.

But the Dockerverse is really something else. No shade on the technology – it's really cool stuff – but boy does it love to tell you how big and complex your problems are. You want to build images on one machine and run them on another? Sounds like what you really need is a Secure Container Registry! Want to have services with dependencies? Forget init^H^H^H^Hsystemd, try Docker Compose! Just kidding, I mean Docker Swarm! Just kidding, I mean Kubernetes! Actually you kind of want all of them maybe!

I don't think this is a weakness of the software itself; you can find simple ways to use containers if you try hard enough. But that difficulty really speaks to the motivations of the cloud services industry. Using Docker for simple problems is asking a car salesman for whatever will get you from A to B. Hey, buddy, you don't know what you're missing. Everyone thinks they want something simple until they see our amazing upgrade options. And what about safety? Think about what would happen to your family if you were caught in a tragic Byzantine Fault.

And, yes, absolutely, if you have Big Cloud Problems, the cost of finding the right cloud-native service discovery mesh is near-zero when amortised over thousands of servers worth of existential dread. But I just can't help but feel like I'm preparing for cloud scale like I'm preparing for a zombie apocalypse. It's an interesting problem space, and a great excuse to hang out on the tactical flashlight subreddit, but I'm not sure these tomorrow solutions actually help me with my today problems. The people selling the gear sure are doing well, though.

I agree with you on the 'best' thing. Every time I'm in SF hanging out with SF friends I feel like 'let's get a drink' becomes 'let's find the best cocktail bar in the Bay Area'. And nobody will step into an establishment that has less than 4.7* on Google (or whatever their preferred rating platform is), let alone just walk into a random place that looks OK. Walk-in foot traffic is non-existent.
This is more an indicator that almost everything that needs to go up, has already gone up.

Notice that one of SpaceX's largest clients, Iridium, just completed their new constellation. That was eight Falcon 9 launches. Iridium is done, they don't need any more launches. Likewise for other large SpaceX clients.
Slack's implementation is bloated. Yes, _some_ people just need text chat; the problem is when people believe that the same requirements extend to _everyone_.

For those people with the need for text chat, sure, use IRC, go right ahead. But for those who need or are accustomed to more, let's stop pretending that things like Slack or Discord don't have things to offer.

Since the implementation is where the bloat exists, it's a fairly simple fix: make open servers and better clients.
