Is the degree of inequality really the issue though? Personally, I like that there are people like Jeff Bezos who can personally fund a space company.

The real problems, for me, are the power imbalances (lobbying, corruption, tax evation by rich people), and rent seeking (e.g. owning real estate or entrenched businesses).
Definitely seeing GB/s IO spikes on my samsung NVMe drives. E.g. when persisting application state into sqlite.

Note that you're not going to get this with SATA SSDs, you need NVMe, it's a 5x difference in throughput and IOPS.
Seriously. Apple, just release a nicely-designed normal Qi charger. Upgrade it to the fancy version if/when you can. Same with a USB-C hub/dock for the laptops.
Citation needed. If anything, capitalism seems antifragile: individual wealth never seems to last beyond the 3rd generation.
"If a client gives you a design to implement, make your implementation pixel-perfect. It’s crazy how sloppy some developers are; the client put together that PSD for a reason"

Even when the various mockups are in conflict with each other? Dealing with internally inconsistent state?

Building full web applications off of a PSD file is often a bad start. Things like menu/toggle state, hovering, accessibility, etc - these are - in about 95% of my experiences - ignored or broken in "designer-led" design stuff.

Yes, they had an idea that was translated to graphic state, but when things don't comport with reality (no, browsers can't actually represent everything you just in your PSD, or no, we can't make 9 point fonts usable in pulldowns with the same font your designer used, and no, we can't use that exact font because it's $1500, etc).... you have to use your judgement - and you can do it collaboratively with the client(s), but do not spend hours/days/weeks trying to chase down pixel-perfection based on PSDs that were likely based off $30 templates themselves. When chrome does an autoupdate and things are 3 pixels off... what do you do then?

> It’s crazy how sloppy some developers are

It's also crazy how un-aware of what browsers actually are and how they work some designers are.

> Not for you. Feeding a poor starving person does not make you richer. If they could have afforded to pay, they would not be starving. The economy fails to incentivize the satisfaction of a real need because it does not value the needs of those without money.

It does not value the needs of those who have not contributed to its largesse. You are valued in proportion to your contribution, or the contribution of your parents.

> The notion of incentivizing people to do important work is not unique to capitalism. Capitalism is not even particularly good at it, and is getting worse at it,

Capitalism is certainly the best of any system i'm aware of. Is there some other system you're aware of that's done a better job of producing innovation?

> as inequality in the wealth distribution drives capitalism's notion of what is important further and further away from what most people actually find important.

Hm? Away from what most people find important? How do you get people's money if you're not offering them something in exchange that they find important?
It's a Big Tech Corp with known spies in it. You expect everything to be shared? Inter-team communication is just generally bad these days, and mostly because it tends to be the default human behavior.

I remember reading a couple of articles about Bell Labs and how they had a huge cafeteria everyone was encouraged to eat in, thereby promoting cross-communication and "cross-pollination" of ideas and insight. I kinda wonder what the Big Tech companies would be producing now and at what rate if they did that instead of letting or encouraging everyone to sit at their desks all day long (mind you, Google seems to be pretty good about that part.)
Thanks for sharing.

1. I'd be terrified to run as a sole proprietor for anything more than getting started. I work on medical software, and if someone dies during a procedure - even if it's not my software's fault - I don't want my personal assets to be liable.

2. I started at 35%, and moved back once I saw what I was actually paying. Depends on your state in life, state within the US, and charitable giving state-ments.

3. Yep, 2 months is low. Just enough to weather a storm, but more = better.

4. Funnily enough, I'm switching to hourly billing for much of my work. But I think many freelancers (particularly US-based) don't even realize "day rates" are a thing - we're fixed on hourly pay, for some reason.
I always call this Modern Day Tobacco.

At a certain level of volume, more transparency should be LEGALLY required for multiple companies (auto personalization / recommendation engines / etc.). At least the ability to opt-out. Just hard to define. Could you legally define “bubbling” or super duper smart recommendation algorithms?

Big tech knows this is the direction IMO.

It’s my guess why they randomly started pressing so hard for screen time usage reminders.

Haha very true. However using rubber mallet on stealthy aircraft would be strictly prohibited as just a small imperfection on skin of aircraft would make it show up prominently in radar.
I do grep ruby sources quite a bit, so if there was a crash it's probably this. Was there a release with a fix?
Now there's a blast from the past. As a young researcher, I got to have a Sparcbook circa 1994 to take to events and demo the multicast multimedia conferencing software we were working on. It cost about five times more than everything I owned put together, and I was always afraid I'd forget it in the pub or something. The alternative was traveling with a Sparc 20 in my hand luggage, which I did too on many occasions. People were always more impressed by seeing video on a laptop though. These days, you think nothing of it.
but it has a hidden microphone, so it is upgradeable.
> I'll happily take Non-Compete Agreements for Sandwich Artists are Illegal BS as a stepping stone toward the ultimate goal of Non-Compete Agreements are Illegal BS.

Could be a stepping stone, or it could be divide-and-conquer, to appease some people, so they don't push for non-competes for everyone. Similar to how some right-to-repair laws are only for tractors.
I love where this work is going and I really enjoyed your ixy project.

I see no mention of Dune [0] in the bibliography. Given the narrow focus of this research I think it is required.

Once processors are tuned for cloud workloads, they will have the affordances that will make full blown operating systems optional.

> Oh, give me a break. This is silly statistic often dragged out by right-wing pundits. If the entire US population earned $0 and one guy (pick anyone!) made $1 Trillion per year and paid his ~$400 Billion in taxes each year would you see him as a victim, too?

Did I say anyone was a victim? No. You made a specific point: That the wealthy are disproportionately powerful due to income inequality. My point is: They don't seem to be powerful enough to not pay the overwhelming majority of taxes. I didn't say they were victims, or that they shouldn't be paying more in taxes. It was a counter-example to your point.

> Another silly example: New York, California, and Florida contribute 25% of the U.S's tax revenues, yet they don't account for 25% of congress. They don't get 25% of the electoral college votes in presidential elections. Poor them, right?

Well, actually, I would argue that yes, poor them. California and NY should be better represented in Congress and nationally, through electoral college reforms and other things, but that is pretty far afield from this discussion.
This is the most advanced domestication function yet! Just think when humans utilized dogs for just barking at predators who came near.. and now they can detect tiny particles in the air for us.
These are great tips thanks!
If the playing ground began equal we’d still end up with power begets power. People might just feel better about one inequality over another.

Meritocracy and egalitarianism are in hot tension. Capitalism and democracy are in similar tension.
I always found this take a bit unbelievable as the details are off here. Most people in the $1m/y bracket can already live what this person claims is the $10-30mm liquid bracket. You can also net-jets it and fly anywhere first class just fine. Heck I'm in the sub 1m/y bracket and I already have access to any suite I want in most any city, and can get most any car if I want and fly first class.

At the 10-30mm liquid bracket you are quite rich and can already buy any car you want, most homes based on income (3-5m/y+). Already at this bracket you can ALREADY call and talk with local and state level politicians regularly. And if you are a real smart mover, national politicians occasionally.

After that you get bigger boats, bigger yachts and maybe more headaches around international trade issues and regulations, but broadly not much else. You can indulge in some things you maybe can't get at the lower level -- but the brackets this person made up seem fictional. The major differences are your ability to invest and create companies/non-profits with little effort.
Generally one of two things needs to happen.

Either a new industry, or new innovations in existing industries, creating more low-skill jobs in the same manner that previous industries have done.

Or make the need to work in order to make a living obsolete for many.
For a company like Apple who a) tries to differentiate on engineering and b) has ridiculous amounts of money this is an entirely unforgivable policy.
> "I know that they had issues with the 2016 and 2017 models."

So it's no longer your belief that the 2017 model was significantly better than the 2016 version? Or was it significantly better, but still shit? In one or two years will the 2018 version in turn be considered significantly better but still shit?
I agree that the conditions in the video are very ideal as you mention.

Perturbations do exist and they add up in the PID feedback loop. For example you can see in the video that the way each box is handled varies and that the robot reorients itself to pick/drop boxes.

Consider a simpler 1 dimensional example: https://youtu.be/JpNAhKT7yY4?t=101 (warning, loud). You can observe the system adjusting to the hits by the person, but also when left alone it will have to adjust to accumulating externalities like gravity. Also note the natural/biological looking swaying motion that results.
For comparison, your standard police/fire/medical digital radio in the US sends voice at 4.4Kb/s. So this is a approximately a third of that.

Maybe some of that jargon went over my head, but I'm not convinced that his option for investors to "prune their portfolio and keep the accrued equity gains" ... "When the bubble pops and speculators are suddenly underwater" is practical.

Are said investors not themselves speculators who would be underwater post bubble pop?

If you have a high confidence that "the correction isn't going to be quick, nor is it going to be soon", then sure, it makes sense to lever up and take on more debt - IFF you're similarly confident that you can get out before prices drop!

Re: your situation - I wouldn't call it stupid, but you do now have a ~50% larger share of your assets in your home, and so you're now that much more subject to future shifts in home prices in your area.

Sure — but each turned around and caused great harm through false claims of being opposed to radicalism while using power to silence their political enemies. It wasn’t during their radical phase that the mass evils happened, but as they instituted oppressive measures in the name of safety having secured power. Those measures to oppress radicalism are instrumental to systematic evil.

This exactly matches the modern left: they accumulated power through acts of radicalism from the 1960s to present, peaking with racial violence in the 1980s, are intentionally misrepresenting the volume of left wing versus right wing extremism now (hint: over the past two years, there’s been more left wing violence), and now started agitating to silence their enemies under the name of preventing extremism.

I picked those people intentionally: they’re all people who believe the same socialist radical left policies, who had acts of radicalism in their past, and who went on to great evil following the period they started calling for violence and censorship to silence “radicals”.

My exact call out is that it is analogous to leftist behavior now.

I think you’d have trouble finding similar examples of that style of censorship being used for good, which is why you haven’t called them out as evidence in a single reply.
I suspect Thompson's NFA is not inherently dog slow (Glushkov can be done reasonably fast for decent-sized NFAs). The fact is that most Thompson-lineage engines opted for the 'lazy DFA' approach and optimized that (which is effective until it isn't). I imagine a more aggressive 'native' Thompson NFA is possible. A nice benefit of that is not having to write to your bytecode - there's a good deal of systems-level complexity stuff in RE2 that springs out of a consequence of the 'lazy DFA construction' decision.

That being said, matching literals is always going to be faster, especially if you decompose the pattern to get more use out of your literal matcher - the downside of filtration is that if the literal is always present, you are just doing strictly more work. At least with decomposition you've taken the literal out of the picture. See https://branchfree.org/2019/02/28/paper-hyperscan-a-fast-mul... for those who don't know what I'm talking about (I know you've read it).

Am flirting with doing another regex engine that gets some of the benefit of decomposition and literal matching without taking on the nosebleed complexity of Hyperscan...
This is likely an April Fool's joke that they pushed early to beat the other April Fool's jokes.

Good point. Sales can be really challenging for some that may not have it as an innate talent. What do you do if it isn't in your wheelhouse?
The way you get around this, you do a "fighter sweep" to kill all enemy fighters and then you do a bomb attack to bomb the ground targets.
Planes do not get loaded with every single potential weapon they may want to use. They have specific missions and they get armored for the specific mission.
That headscarf is there for one and one reason only. To shame other women. If the catholic church jumped out of the history books to demand the right for its believers to wear it in office- you would rightfully tell them no.
Because what that scarf yells at all those who do not wear it, through the voice of all the "believers" is "harlet, wrench, slut".
If that thing was pushed by the catholic church, or evangelicals, you would be on the barricades by now. But it is by a supressed minority? Well that minority is not supressed in over 40 countries. In fact its the majority there, and supresses anyone not wearing a headscarf. Want to see what happens if you do not wear a headscarf there?

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jul/05/egypt-women-ra...

That machoism is very real in the middle east- and the headscarf is part of the dividing and conquering. Nothing less. Cause there is always the mother and saint who wears it and the "cheap" whores free to hunt who dont.

May be that for some, this clothing has already lost its symbolism, like the white-wedding dress lost the symbolism of virginity it once held for christianity. If it has no symbolic value, why make such a fuzz about wearing it at all?

But in that case, i rather be safe then sorry.
Being great and increasing engagement are not necessarily correlated.
> This is actually a right-wing authoritarian stance: you're advocating that the government (or do you mean some other entity?) force private businesses to publish speech that they disagree with.

This is absolutely a false dichotomy. It is entirely possible to say that having private corporations dictate what people see and read is bad for society, without claiming that the government should force companies to publish anything.

Yes it the company's right to censor whatever content they want. It's possible to believe in that right while still saying it's wrong for companies to wield it in a certain manner.

Much in the same way you can believe in the right to free speech of the Nazis that marched in Skokie while simultaneously calling their actions reprehensible, it is entirely valid to criticize the censorious actions of these platforms while acknowledging that this is well within their legal rights.

The above poster acknowledged that private platforms are allowed to censor whatever they want. Repeatedly.

I really don't see how your comment is productive, as all it's really doing is putting words in the above poster's mouth that [s]he explicitly denied. What redeeming value am I supposed to see in your comment?

Apologies if this comes off as overly negative but it is very tiresome to keep seeing criticisms of tech companies' censorship met with, "It's entirely within their rights, you're the authoritarian one for advocating government-compelled speech." Doubly so when the previous comment not only didn't advocate government compelled speech of any sort, but repeatedly acknowledged that companies are legally entitled to ban whatever speech they want.
Facebook’s Feasible Future Is Apple’s Fictitious Present

Nowhere in this article does he actually mention:

-Talking to users

-Interviewing users

-Doing user testing

-Making sacrificial prototypes

This is a great way to develop a product that people don't need, with no way of knowing how good the UX actually is. I've worked like this before, and it really does produce suboptimal results. You really shouldn't even be making wireframes before validating assumptions and needs first.

NNgroup has a lot of writing on trying to shortcut UX:

Things That Customers Give Your Business
Starting in the mid-1990s you could find amazing deals on SPARC and Alpha “desktop” motherboards. They were both great architectures in many ways, interesting platforms for hacking, and sometimes much faster than Intel boxes of the time for certain workloads.

I think the brief affordability of relatively recent vintage non-Intel hardware was a combination of the sudden growth of Internet 1.0 funding fierce competition between hardware companies (Sun was taking Java to the bank) plus Microsoft and IBM trying hard to get out from under Intel’s desktop hardware monopoly.

I miss those days! It felt like CPU hardware was this amazing frontier that just kept expanding every day. On the other hand, now you can buy a $10 embedded ARM board that’s faster than a high end AlphaStation from the late 1990s, so that’s definitely just 100% pure nostalgia for my misspent youth.

When I got to the Media Lab as a 21 year old grad student in 1996 I had never actually physically seen a Sun or DEC box. Lots of my new colleagues had worked at tech companies between undergrad and grad school, so they sometimes had old workstations and terminals in their apartments. I remember seeing a headless SPARCStation 10 under a coffee table (presumably running running mail, DNS, and Usenet for a few folks) and being blown away. I mean, you could put 512 MB of RAM in that thing.
How the UK Lost the Brexit Battle
Interest Check: New Mechanical Keyboard Designed for Coders
There is very clear video of this entire event available online, I won't link it since it's of a death and I'm not sure what hn rules are around that.
It was actually reasonably easy to assemble one yourself. A company I worked for bought a bunch of motherboards with 21164 (EV56) CPU's. I took one home, and was surprised to find at the time it was reasonably easy to get it into an ATX case, install RAM, CPU and Debian on it.

I have fond memories of building Gnome 1.x from sources on it. It felt really fast compared to the Pentium 2 and 3's of the day.

Please take care with this advice

1) This may not be true. In most countries you would get a capital allowance that means you could make this saving even if you buy the car outright. There are also different kinds of lease that have different tax effects. In the UK VAT on a contract hire is 50% disallowed if you use the car personally for instance. Another reason this might be a bad idea, driving the companies car for personal use may be a 'benefit in kind' and taxable at a high rate. In many situations it is better to buy the car personally and record business miles and claim it on expenses at a government approved rate per mile. Talk to an accountant, it depends on several factors.

2) Many countries have minimum wage legislation. Don't pay less than that!

3) This is far too general to be true. If you can afford it and are planning an exit then leaving profits in a company can be great. This presumes that there is no better user for the money, which is not something you can generalize about.

Disclosure: I'm in Finance, but not a tax specialist.
It’s never been better. I will say there’s a lot of blockchain, so that may be a pro or con, depending on how you feel about that. It’s hard to quantify; I got a lot of inbound, and did basically no external research, but I’m special. I know several Rust shops that didn’t get in touch, and that’s fine. It’s not as easy as “go on monster and pick from a wealth of jobs” and many have location requirements, that can limit options. It did mine. I’m fine with that though.

A lot of technology decisions are easier to justify to management with “look an how $BIGCO uses this technology.” And now that we’re seeing the likes of Google, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, several unicorns, and the like, using Rust, I think it’s gonna keep growing. Those usages aren’t as widely known yet, outside of the hacker news crowd.

We’ll see!
