> The fact is that drive, motivation and effort count for more, more often than anything else given a baseline level of skill, intelligence and aptitude.

I don't know if you've failed to follow the point here or are deliberately trying to avoid it. We're not talking about comparing someone "fresh out of secondary school" with someone "in their mid 40's with kids", and we're not trying to compare someone "with drive" to someone just giving excuses.

Fact is, someone with drive and a baseline of money is far, FAR safer when taking risks in capitalism than someone without. I'm not looking for excuses for myself - I'm looking to reap the benefits of a well-functioning market. A market that enables everyone to participate according to their drive, and doesn't expect that they have to sacrifice, health, education, or future ability to be employable to do so.

Today I see a large number of people of above average wealth and opportunities, plus one or two that had plenty of luck while "bootstrapping" themselves all looking down on anyone unable to participate as if they are simply lazy.

We're not trying to get "short and fat" people into the NBA, we're trying to get the people who have to work 60hr/week jobs to somehow have time on the court. "Drive" doesn't begin to cover the problems.

Eh, I'm already mixing enough JS libraries moving to Vue from jQuery, plus all the other frontend garbage that built up over the years.

This would have to be the next major product or iteration I work on.

But I will be trying Svelte out on my side projects which is typically how I evaluate new stuff. Never at work :p
Those release notes are some of the best written I've ever seen. Clear, concise, comprehensive. Gives a lot of confidence in the project going forward. Nice work.
The content is good, but the number of different typographic styles made it seriously difficult for me to read. My eyes kept getting yanked around as I scrolled down the page.
If you read the paper, the age calculation reads like assumption upon assumption upon assumption upon assumption. The distance measurement is remarkable though.
The new digital CTs are crazy.

We have one that goes down to 90 µm resolution for the whole head.
The sphere has all kinds of distortions. You can map a flat paper (image, website, ...) on a cylinder, but not on a sphere.
They have, but I'm not even convinced that's the result of the choice to seek the post-war US hegemony and Pax Americana, that's been a significant benefit to America. The US doesn't have to spend that, she chooses to. Drop rate to the Nato agreed 2% of GDP as well and still be the world's dominant and most advanced military power. Halve spending and the US would still reach the old two power standard in terms of spending - easily. It would be nearer a 3 power standard. Right now it's more than what, the next seven or eight combined?

Germany has constitutional limits placed on her defence demanded by the post-WW2 allies, even if they did spend more. There's limits on when and how they can operate outside of Germany - though I'm very unclear on the detail. Holland may not have much navy - but it certainly still exists with frigates, submarines and what have you, and plans for new vessels - just rather few of them. They recently increased budget to get nearer that 2%. They've a population of about 15m, I think a modern carrier is simply out of reach without completely unbalancing their defence budget. They're way past their projecting power era anyway.

I do completely agree all signatories should stick better to that Nato agreed 2% though, or any future agreed amount.
The opinion article you linked is from a right-rated source [0]. The main suggestion in it,

> That would start with the federal government imposing a national, revenue neutral carbon tax of about $200 per tonne of emissions, immediately (not $50 in 2022 under Trudeau’s plan) and then returning all the money raised back to Canadians in dividend cheques.

has pretty wide support on the left. I'm not sure how that differs from being wealth redistribution, which is what the opinion piece is against. It also doesn't describe what the current scheme is nor how it is wealth redistribution.

As far as party support for nuclear, [1]. Democrats care more about wind/solar. Neither party has majority support for emphasizing nuclear. I don't think people that care about CO2 would rule nuclear out if it were the only option.

Jets vs. thermostat type problems are tragedy of the commons. I don't appreciate private jets ferrying around political leaders, but I doubt they'll be flying commercial. That doesn't seem practical from a security nor time perspective. But, millions of people adjust their thermostats. If everybody tolerated just a liiiiittle bit less than their ideal temperature, how much would that save? Consumption is a tragedy of the commons problem.

I'd like evidence that limousine liberals are the problems w.r.t. taxes. I agree that there is hypocrisy. I disagree about how it rings hollow compared to redistributing the means, especially since "redistributing the means" doesn't even really make sense in that block of text.

Lastly, studies aren't full of blatant inaccuracies nor FUD. The world isn't ending outright, but it's getting a lot worse in a lot of ways in a lot of areas. The Syrian civil war was partially exacerbated by the worst drought ever recorded [2]. The science is settled. Exxon Mobile predicted [3] exactly what would be happening today [4] back in 1982. The conclusion of their summary is that serious adverse problems are not likely to occur until the late century, and that the time should allow for coming up with solutions. That time is now, and globally, we are doing very little, because doing what needs to be done would be economically detrimental to established interests.

Ah, thanks for sharing that story. That sounds like my environment; we started using Envoy for grpc-web... now it's in front of everything. Except, of course, it's not the main ingress controller because we had so many legacy nginx rules that we decided it was easier to use nginx as the proxy that's in front of everything. I regret it ;)

It's not about disqualifying anyone or necessarily about money. It's just a matter of noting bias, whether from money or acclaim.

For instance, if an academic works in a particular area of chemistry, they are more predisposed to say their area will have big important contributions to society in the future than a random chemist would.
You say that as though it's a defined, well proven fact that has wide agreement. The link you refer to properly points out that it's not at all widely agreed upon. Rather, it's a theory by one guy, derived from his reading of fiction that he decided to flip around, and then float in his recent book. He used a universal way to get maximum attention: be controversial.
My net wealth is massively negative and will remain so for decades... and yet any fair assessment of my quality of life is that it's great. I can't afford a car, but I can still be chauffeured around like a celebrity at the push of a button on my phone. I can summon almost anything I want from across the planet and have it show up in my doorstep in 2 days as if I was a king. I have access to probably 99+% of the knowledge, information, art, entertainment, and telecommunication tools of the richest guy in the world. I could hardly care less that some people are preposterously wealthy while I'm "poor", because I really think my life is probably at least 80% as good as theirs is. I also hope for greater equality in the hope that it would further spur creation and make people feel more comfortable with risk taking and self-fulfillment or self-expression. But, thinking that millennials/post-millenials/future generations have been somehow "screwed over" or have been given a world on fire is an ungrateful and borderline laughable delusion.

The "previous generations failed us" mentality implies that we are somehow due all of the good things previous generations have given us (even though the only thing most of us have done to "deserve" them is exist) without having to deal with any of the bad. I think if some people had their way, we'd be shivering out in the cold and bartering mounds of dirt for big circular rocks because they'd have villified the people that first cut down a tree for shelter or crucified the people who thought that steam engines were an innovation.
And those working with cryptocurrency seem to be very ill-equipped for protecting their wealth. Seems like a natural filter.
I think what most people miss for these and similar services is you’re paying for really good, on call, white glove Elastic support. In my experience they can often go as for as to replace having a search specific ops team. The cloud hosting isn’t really where the value is.

a JS-to-wasm compiler would work, but probably not in the way that you are thinking.

Naively compiling static JS to wasm would produce extremely slow code. This is because there is almost no runtime type information to rely on to generate specialized code. Almost all of your operations are going to be compiled down to something like:

```
// impl of ADD operator on x, y.
if (isInt(x)) { // isInt is an AND and ADD.
if (isInt(y)) { // AND and ADD
let result = UnboxInt(x) + UnboxInt(y));
if result >= INT32_MAX { // handle overflow into double. }
else { return Box(result) }
} else {
let y2 = numberify(y);
let x2 = numberify(x);

...

} else if (isDouble(x)) { // also, AND and ADD
...
} else if (isString(x)) {
...
}
```

As you can see, this is horrid, large, and extremely slow. Some cases can be optimized based on static analysis and constant propagation, but the vast majority of executed operations cannot be predicted.

Executing JS with speed requires a runtime observation of the types that are showing up at different parts of the program, as well as the types that are stored in various heap slots, an infrastructure to track them and update them as the heap mutates and the program runs, and an infrastructure to query this information to speculatively compile optimized code for all the operations in the program.

This requires a runtime, and will always require a runtime. This means that if you want remotely fast javascript execution, then even a wasm-based solution will necessarily require shipping a JS-on-wasm runtime VM infrastructure along with your code, or for browsers to standardize on such a VM being bundled on distribution.

And all of this will have to happen after the feature support you mention in your comment (GC, DOM APIs), and at least one more (ability to hotpatch calls within wasm - this would allow us to introduce entry-points to jit-generated code in already-existing code).
opendistro has this:

which has feature parity with the free version elastic just released afaict.
I wouldn't expect AWS to do anything like that. I'd expect AWS to understand the implication of a database of private data being publicly accessible and having the account rep reach out to the owner and let them know.

I'm working on a code and Docker container marketplace. I'd love to hear what kinds of things you think would be useful. Stuff you could either

1. integrate into your product rapidly
or
2. deploy immediately and start to use.

If you have some good suggestions I'd love to build it for you and give it for free in exchange for a case study.

Thanks,

Intel Performance Hit 5x Harder Than AMD After Spectre, Meltdown Patches
Amazon handed provisional win in domain battle with South American nations
I've been running a 8TB homeserver for the cost of an optiplex on eBay (80) and 2 8tb external drives on Amazon (300). I cronjob an rsync every night and that's that. Cheap, works great, and (surprisingly) I understand how it works. I also have cloud storage for the subset of things I don't want to lose.
A thing I'm working on right now is for the rsync disk to be on a switch I control with an Arduino/pi so it's only powered during the backup -- I reckon the drive will last longer that way. Homeservers are fun :)

If you're ok losing 24hours of data and not a performance junky, the backup plan becomes trivial and the raiding isn't really necessary.
One thing that the previous generation is not to make the world worse. At some point, the increased debt will hurt future generations.

> And, you know what, I, the patient, am FAR more invested in keeping tabs on whether things are going right or wrong in my own body than any doctor.

As someone who has had to figure out his health on his own after multiple doctors have failed or many never even attempted to help, I cannot agree with this more.
Wait, am I reading this bug correctly: even if I have HTTPS everywhere installed to force the S in errant urls, it would still go over HTTP? Because... "we provide the signatures"? Yikes.
That's why I said threats to humanity. I agree that it could be a huge leap for sentient life.

What you’re wrong about is the notion that markets dictate itself. Actually pretty much the entirety of America and possibly most of the rest of the developed world is wrong on this notion because the country and the rest of the world is so rooted in capitalism. It’s like crying about the fact that we are polluting the world with single use plastics and saying that we are powerless to do anything about it because individuals will always optimize for personal gain. The reality is we as people are people and every single one of us has the ability and capacity to choose to not use single use plastics. We aren’t dumb robots that absolutely have to follow this code of maximizing for personal gain. People as individuals, or organizations, or really groups of people of any size are capable of doing anything because at the base level, every single person has the capacity to make one decision over another, because we are people not robots. If we chose to keep the earth clean, we could keep the earth clean. It’s not impossible, and people need to stop believing that the only force is this blobby uncontrollable multicellular creature of human mass that creates cities, destroys natural landscapes, and kills rhinos. It’s at this level of learned helplessness where you (and I’m not crticizing only you, but pretty much the rest of the world) is wrong. If baby boomers collectively chose to help the next generation they absolutely could have done more to help the next generation. They just never believed anything could be done so they never really tried.

What you're suggesting is building a system that actively punishes parents who are too busy to a ton of research because they're working multiple jobs, taking care of sick family members, etc. Characterizing people who don't have time to do this as merely "not picky" is ignoring and punishing a huge segment of the population.
I never said anything about boomers enriching themselves at the expense of future generations.

I think blaming younger generations for not taking responsibility for what was handed to them is unfair. We are trying to fix things, however it is difficult when the people in power (who happen to be boomers) will not allow progress. That resistance to change and the resulting resentment is what I was attempting to discuss in my previous comment.
1. CRM for freelancers, there are so many tools already and becoming anything more than a me too would be luck.

2. Content Planner - it seems to me that should be a job role, akin to *Editor and not so much a SaaS. Of course, it would help if much more online content had an editor anyway. So many grammar/usage/spelling errors these days.

3. Instagram Post Automator - I'm surprised it doesn't already exist. Much like CRM variations.

4. OKR - I'm not sure how you'd outcompete incumbents here, but of the options so far probably the most interesting.

5. Coffee/Tea round app - Probably easy enough to make, not sure if even $2 would be a reasonable price and actually make any money.

6. Bookmarks For Designers - Interesting idea... a more generic Bookmarks for X as a trended social graph of sites for a given subject would be cool overall. I know that I bookmark a lot of things and then never get back to them. When I finally do, it's been forked twice, and 2/3 abandoned for yet another renamed clone/fork of what I was looking for. Something like the original Yahoo would be pretty cool to see again.

I'd like to get something started for side income myself, but honestly a bit lazy about it, and more insecure about keeping it separate from my personal self in terms of liability.
Is that really a problem for users though?

Users want to delete watch history, which they can. Classifier models predicting what you want to watch are not the video watch history, nor are the models capable of producing it.
Another angle is sync and same experience cross-platform.
Actually, there's already a better way to perform initialization, based on the so called lottery ticket hypothesis [1]. I haven't gotten to the article, so I'll just regurgitate the abstract, but basically there frequently are subnetworks which may be exposed by pruning trained networks which perform on par with full sizes neural nets with ≈20% of the parameters and substantially quicker training time. It turns out that with some magic algorithm described in the paper, one can initialize weights to quickly find these "winning tickets" to drastically reduce neural network size and training time.

It is still a model of having one 15'x6' vehicle carrying 1 person to 1 destination, which leads to congestion no matter how well the cars are timing off of each other. Either these things get really really tiny (self driving moped?) or we cram more people in one of them (self driving bus?) because at the end of the day its a physics problem of there being not enough space on the road for everyone in a city to be transported one at a time, 20' by 8' apart.
Then over time they graduate to moving silverware (dishwasher to tray, tray to table), washing/drying fresh produce, pouring their own water, mixing ingredients, etc. It starts with curiosity and a step stool (or "tower").

I agree in the sense that this appears to be the reality of the situation at the moment, that the benefit is speculative because of a lack of evidence for the effectiveness of either the data or our ability to interpret it. I highly doubt that will be the case in the long run, as costs come down, resolution goes up, and analysis software improves.

Just this morning on the train I read "On the Criteria To Be Used in Decomposing Systems into Modules" by D.L. Parnas (1972). And then on the same day I get Barbara Liskov telling me how it was back in those days figuring all of this out!

I much enjoyed the tour of how these foundations came together. The funniest part was where she classifies the Liskov-Principle as just that intuitive rule meant to help the OO people which were confused about type hierarchy. The hard things don't seem so hard once you've understood them.
What’s really funny about this is the troop of elephants in the room.

1. for some students, all the money in the world won’t change the fact that they permanently suck.

2. the fundamental premise of what we think of as education simply works by luck.

Some people cannot be educated. They suck as children. They suck as adults. They die stupid and shitty.

Meanwhile, operating according to a curriculum that is jam packed with garbage that is not engaging and has no practical applications to the situations confronted on the ground, in real life, means most “education” is a thumb twiddling waste of time.

The net output of this is a system that spitballs for personalities that might serve best as paid thinkers, and the rest get ejected into vocational scenarios with pieces of paper.

In short, fuck the lot of you. Everyone is dancing around hot potatos of brutal truth.
