I guess it depends on what kind of socialization we're talking about.

Just surfing someone else's photos is enough for me as far as what social media provides. That's not the start and end of all socialization, but it is nice.
>>do you really want to risk becoming the poster child for why the tech giants should be broken up?

Having a national government recognize you as a market-dominating behemoth? As the de facto market leader? If you believe that breakup isn't possible, that government recognition could be a marketing plus.
Like you say, WASM should enable many more solutions to target the browser, breaking JavaScript's monopoly. There are still good desktop developer tools out there.

And I agree: if your app only needs to run in the browser - use browser tools. But if you really use an app all day long, you're going to want a dedicated desktop version. The browser app-in-an-app model is convenient for casual use, but not optimal for long stretches and doesn't integrate as well with the desktop for real workflow.

Also, if your app exceeds 100k lines of code, there are some languages that might be better than JavaScript.
> 2) that they do not want to give this issue publicity.

Well, that worked quite well.

I'd think that, as a rule, you can't rely on rejection as a mechanism for preventing something from getting publicity. Someone savvy can use that as a fuel for publicity. You'd have to destroy both the message and the messenger.. and also any onlookers.

What's the usual processing speed of a software engineer when it comes to reading through and understanding design & specification?

We found that usually either the documentation/specification/requirements are too fine grained (and then they then change all the time, but then there's no real effort/bandwidth to do change management on the specs), or they are not detailed enough, which makes the estimation process a useless guessing game on what might they mean by this or that.
The Last Days of August
Ah but I'm not arguing that this dispute is religious in nature or that religious people all agree (the bible has nothing to say on the topic of mass immigration anyway, AFAIK).

Rather that the people protesting for or against something because of their religious views are much less likely to suddenly change those views or crumble in the face of pressure from opposing activists. They have some sort of concrete belief system that they've thought about and are invested in - it doesn't have to make sense, but they aren't going to turn around and say, "ok ok I promise I won't be pro-life anymore" because some angry Google engineers tweeted that they must hate women's rights. Their views are more robustly grounded than that.

Addiction is a problem, kinda. But it's not as big a problem as what happens when those over-connected minds are so happy to pursue confirmation bias, echo chambers, etc. __That__ is likely what many people are more addicted to. That is, for example, "I'm so great! Look how correct I am. Again!!!" Who doesn't love that feedback loop?

And doesn't that described the major of people on social media? They don't understand cause v correlation. They don't understand subjective v objective.
I'm not calling this out just to be critical. I call this out because I don't want people to be blocked from doing their jobs productively, or at all, due to an accessibility problem that could have been prevented.
> This includes the desire to make Russian Rouble one of the world's currencies.

This is simply bluster. Russia’s economy is about the size of Australia’s. Even the EU, with GDP comparable to the USA (and 10X Russia’s) hasn’t made any headway in the oil market, much less as a reserve currency.

Actually the value of being a reserve currency is mostly overstated. The US still has that status mainly due to the size and liquidity of its debt, and to a lesser extent, equity market. Even when a comparable rival does eventually emerge, hysteresis will keep the dollar on top for a long while. The same history applied to sterling when it was the world’s reserve currency.
No other facts were available. The claim was itself the news, with updates pending a police investigation. This isn't complicated. Investigating crimes is the police's job, not every single newspaper in the world's.

Should all of the world's newspapers have held off on reporting the MAGA bombs until Cesar Sayoc's conviction?

Should we all have pretended that nothing was wrong about the world trade center until the 9/11 commission filed their final report?
Aren't those still glorified laptops in another form factor?
Wealth and income are two different things.

Think of income taxes as regulatory capture by those who already have money. The higher the taxes, the greater wealth inequality becomes. Once you have a lot of wealth, you can afford to stop and start new efforts at getting income, while everyone else is stuck taking a salary (and if they're lucky, stock / 401ks). That flexibility lets them stay ahead of the tax laws that keep everyone else down.
> there is nothing keeping these individuals away from collective bargaining without forming an official union to do so.

I think this is the main reason why I just "don't get" unions. Why do we have to put a name to it? Trying to understand unions, I guess it provides some sort of legitimacy to the organization. Or perhaps unions are more efficient at bargaining multiple issues simultaneously. I guess I am just really hung up on paying a union money.
If all the economics you know of is Macroeconomics, I understand your question. It is an extremely difficult field to study, and we may never really understand it.

But that's a small part of Economics, and the field in general is as hard as any science outside of physics, and had given us an enormous amount of insights we lacked 200 years ago, and contributed immensely to the relative peace and prosperity the world enjoys today.
Welcome to NYC. There is construction every other block. And that's not even considering things like the 2nd Ave line construction which creates noise pollution for years on end. Is this news because wealthy people are affected?

I wonder how things would be if NYC allowed construction once every 3 years?
What would happen if we throw out the entire tax code, replace it with a single, flat tax rate for every adult citizen, with zero loopholes, and then institute some sort of welfare mechanism for those who can't afford to pay?
Headed for profit, charm and lightheartedness?
It's a regressive tax, as it affects everyone at the same rate. Modern tax systems are progressive, ie people get different tax rates depending on their income.
==How many of these "social media bad" articles are we really going to get from the news industry?==

How many dieting articles are written by the news industry?

==If these journalists are right and social media is so bad, why are journalists so prominent on twitter and much of social media?==

Because they have to be to make money, that doesn't help answer the question of whether or not they are bad themselves. There is a difference between a corporation (profit-seeking entity) and an individual (happiness-seeking entity). It makes sense that they may have different views on what is good/bad.
You are worried about the wasted brains in tech companies reading this article? I didn't worry about wasted brains at all, because I value people's agency. But now that you bring it up, it seems like if you're going to worry about brains being wasted, surely it should be those of the tax lawyers helping the rich hide this income?
> Isn't this what OKR(Objectives and Key Results) is about?

Not really, but even if so:

OKR seems to be a popular trend in certain industries. Whether it's a source of success is more debatable.
The Land Value Tax (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_value_tax) should be considered: It's progressive. It's hard to conceal/evade. It muffles speculation bubbles.
Virtualization.

Remember that these EPYC systems will have up to 64 cores per chip. 128 cores / 256 threads per 2P platform, with 128x to 160x PCIe 4.0 lanes depending on the motherboard.

Lets say you split up your system into 32 VMs (4-cores / 8-threads per VM). That's only 4x to 6x PCIe 4.0 lanes per VM. Doesn't seem very spacious anymore, does it? That's barely enough room for a NVMe drive per VM + a small, shared chunk of graphics (modern enterprise GPUs can be virtualized and split between VMs. So one x16 link to a beefy GPU can be shared between 8 VMs)

If your current customer is using NVMe drives + thick-client workstations for docker / testing / etc. etc, it may be difficult to convince them to switch to a virtualized infrastructure. But a beefy machine with this much I/O would definitely catch their eyes.
This is an article about a company normalizing fascist and white supremacist thought in our nation and exporting that sludge to other nations as well. Frankly, who cares.
"The thing is there’s like 5 companies in the world that run jobs that big. For everybody else… you’re doing all this I/O for fault tolerance that you didn’t really need."

That's not necessarily entirely true. In the early 2000s, I worked for Cadence Design Systems, who at the time needed to build and test the plethora of tools they'd built or acquired on a large variety of systems. I worked on "GridMatrix", sort of like make but using a large, heterogeneous cluster of machines, built on top of the Condor and LFS batch scheduling systems---the same sort of thing underlying MapReduce.

On the other hand, I get where the author's going: cargo-cult design is rampant in enterprise software development. But it's not just cargo-culting Amazon or Google; it also involves fashion and resume padding.

And then, there's "eNumerate multiple candidate solutions. Don’t just start prodding at your favorite!"

Bwahahahahah. <- Unamused laughter.

Our first and only response, as an engineering discipline (if you want to call it that) is to pick the first idea that comes to mind and beat it to death with a stick.

This is so true, and why you always see royals/semi-royals/royal-hangers-on work in a gallery/auction/museum capacity.
So, if you're poor and criticise capitalism (or some particular implementation of it), you're just a sore loser, and if you're rich and criticise it, you're a hypocrite?
WRT to the relationship with IPFS, with IPFS you really need to find a decent number of other people to "pin" your content. Filecoin would solve the problem of how to ensure that people with whom you have no relationship actually do this.
In other words, isn't a knowingly facilitator directly involved in the illegal activity he's facilitating?

This discussion is clouded because it's was an online platform and it was pretending to be a beacon of user privacy and civil liberties (which it was not).

Imagine a situation where you're renting rooms in your house for criminals to conduct crimes (and that's your main selling point, nobody is pretending you're renting those rooms because you want simply to help people), would we be discussing whether you deserve a harsh sentence or not? I don't think so.

The difference between the Silk Road website and Google/Postal Office is that they take reasonable measures against illegal activity on their platform when they are informed of that.
They aren't legally bound to maximize profits, but they are extremely motivated to.
Absolutely. Doing "UI's" with the DOM (HTML / CSS / JS) was a big step backwards. We've spent two decades trying to graft an application platform onto a document delivery system.
That's like saying differential equations aren't mainstream just because not everyone takes university-level math. Stacks are a mainstream technical concept in a mainstream technical profession. The relevant domain for determining prevalence is "Programmers." Non-technical people don't count.

Quality is basically inherent in scope. Is testing the product in scope? Yes, then it will take up precious resources (time). Do you want to test it on every platform? Yes, even more time. (And of course the same goes for code review, writing unit tests, planning, writing and discussing a design document, etc.)
I think "objectivity" is bullshit, but echo chambers and confirmation bias are a big problem. Then again, politics aren't the only problem with online addiction - they're not even the biggest problem, imho.

I do think your point about mobile devices is spot-on, though. I was asking myself why I don't mind HN while I avoid FB and Twitter, and the fact that I don't use it on my phone may be a big part of that. Cal Newport gives this advice as part of Digital Minimalism as well... restrict your social media to real computers only, and absolutely avoid any phone apps.
Design Tools for "Everything", yet is missing all the most common design tools for device design. Where are SolidWorks, Creo, Altium, etc.?
"As it affects everyone at the same rate." That's a flat tax. A regressive tax is one that affects the poor more.

However, you are right that it is probably regressive, since the rich normally place more of their wealth percentage-wise in non-cash assets than poor people do.
The greatest difference is that in arts and journalism the companies are struggling. The videogame game industry have its troubles, but is full of money.
Agreed. User need to be more responsible. 100%!

That said, that should not let leadership off the hook. For those three mentioned leaders to abuse their power __at all costs__ in order to maintain their power can not and should not be discounted.
This is fine if you don’t mind the poor getting taxed as much as the rich. Inflation taxes everyone the same, meaning the person living on the bread line looses the same percentage as the ultra Rich.
That’s a political opinion, but explains why it’s not been implemented.
Well, fly by wire (airbus) and impossible to keep the plane in air without a computer (Stealth bomber) are not the same thing.
They are welcome to jump in independently, produce their own games, and compete with the rest. They will then learn the realities of "GET IT DONE", that those whining at management about >40hr work weeks get trounced by those viewing projects as "24/7 with bio breaks".

It's not about whether you have a right to follow a chosen career. It's about that chosen career being chosen by many more people than the market can support, the competition being ferocious, and the reality that those wanting to get it right get run over by those getting it DONE.
As sibling notes, step 1 is to actually have substantial complex income where accountants can do planniung. There's not much trickery that can be done with ordinary income since it is handled simply and rigorously.

Gains from financial transactions (capital gains, debt, etc.) are much more complexly handled and more ambiguous.

* Accounting creativity can be employed with capital gains taxes because it is only paid on asset sale by the asset seller. So you can "move" the taxes around by donating and gifting. Move states to avoid high state income taxes.
Better yet, if you die, your heirs never pay taxes -- this leads to all sorts of trust structuring that allows basis step up and estate tax bypass.

* Debt (this article) is another example. If you read the article, cancelled debt is taxable, but you can make it a bit ambiguous whether the debt was cancelled or just merely restructured.
His fund's political donations don't align with what he's proposing[0]. His firm's largest 2018 donations were to Tom Cotton(R-AR) of AR and Tim Kane(R-OH), neither of whom would dare support these ideas.

He can stand up and talk like a leader, but until he's willing to financially back candidates who are genuinely interested in solving these problems (which likely means backing a candidate against his own financial interests), this is all hot air.

> Without any details about what actually happened

I agree that is frustrating not having more details that could help us to link facts or notice subtle details that otherwise would be missed, but I can see how showing forever specific details about his/her sexual abuse in internet would do more harm than good to the victim.

> Without court decision?

You can't start a trial without having even the name of a suspect. It seems that is too early for that if they are compiling facts and trying to reach victims.

Exhaustion of private address space is what actually motivated the beginning of a serious IPv6 effort at a well-known big telco that shall remain anonymous. The entire private IPv4 address space could have remained amply sufficient, had it not been squandered by excessive subnetting rules. Rearranging was prohibitively expensive - hence moving to IPv6.

Fond memories of these cards for me.

I bought one my junior year of college as a CS major. I had some good internships and that year I had some money. Instead of a car I had built a Pentium MMX 200Mhz box with Diamond Stealth card & 16MB ram. Pretty hot machine among my friends at that time... when the Voodoo 1 became available I was able to get one and it's performance was mind blowing at the time, even though I had access to SGI machines and such on campus that had way more impressive demos on them.

My senior year of college I took an Open GL course and did a bunch of my projects in linux with the Voodoo 3D drivers. Cool stuff. Played a lot of quake too, I remember writing a program to render the quake characters on my own as one of my projects. The data model formats were open source IIRC so it wasn't too hard to read in the data. Very cool since we didn't have any good 3D tools to build our own models.

I remember playing AH-64 Longbow or something on it too.. some of the flight sims were amazing at that point right before flight sim popularity tanked at the same time the remaining programs got unbelievably complex.

Voodoo was kind of a pain the neck in day to day usage. In 1999 I built a new machine and went to an NVIDIA Riva TNT and then later that year got a GeForce 256 when those came out.

Kind of the end of my heyday of PC gaming.. the combination of working on computers all day + games at the time still requiring a lot of debugging to get them to work well wore me out.

Re: the term "abuse" rather than a more concrete term like "violation."

About 10 years back, Bono (of U2) was being interviewed on irish tv. They asked about U2's business interests (real estate and hotels), taxes, and overseas holding companies... with a "why don't you pay taxes in ireland" implication.

Bono started with a generic "U2 is a Businezss" answer but he ended with a (IMO) an honest point that people avoid making.. because it's kind of an admission of guilt:

"Look... We (ireland) manipulate our tax rules for all sorts of gain^. How can it be ok for the country but not U2?"

We're an extreme example, but not that extreme. American politicians have also been big believers in complex tax reforms/policies as a way of tweaking all sorts of economic results.

We can't have it both ways. Either we have a "the rules are the rules" approach or we have a principled approach. You can't appeal to the "spirit" of a soulless ruleset.

^We have a highly "engineered" tax system, designed to encourage foreign revenue to be silmultaneously booked and not booked in ireland. >30% of ireland's gdp is Leprechaun money, according to Paul Krugman & some oecd economists. It's here, but not real. Try to touch it, and it will vanish.

A lot of these rules relate to IP which is why the biggest companies utlizing irish tax shenanigans are apple, google and other techcos. Music is also IP.
