Exactly. Especially when they are trying to add dynamic linking support at https://github.com/WebAssembly/tool-conventions/blob/master/...

It seems that designers want to keep it simple, but it is inevitable to bring concepts like sections and symbol tables in when it comes to linking: https://github.com/WebAssembly/tool-conventions/blob/master/...
They should set an example. Like, go live in a cave. Or at least share bunks in a tiny apartment.

Otherwise, the "movement" is just a bunch of hypocrites who are all about having _other_ people to make sacrifices so they could get more to themselves.
The people complaining about Uber destroying taxis were the taxi companies who owned the medallions. The drivers themselves were paid crap before and they still are. They actually get a higher percentage of the fare now than they did as a taxi driver. But now the fares are lower because the medallion owners aren't artificially constraining supply, which means more people can be drivers.

In principle this should result in higher compensation for drivers, because without a huge margin wastefully going to the rent seeking medallion holders there is more demand for car service, which means more demand for labor, which means higher prices for labor. But Uber drivers may not be a large enough percentage of the overall unskilled labor pool to move the needle much on their own, so the low wages are still low.
I get hives when I hear people porting all of their stuff to one cloud provider so they can get rid of their server rooms.

Are we getting to a point yet where that’s considered to be suicidal? I hope so.

This seems like political posturing that's going to hurt the majority of employees if it passes.

Will it hurt them more than making roughly minimum wage or less?

My layman's impression from paying some attention to psych/neuroscience is that there's an increased amount of scrutiny/skepticism towards this type of study which (afaict) fails to take into account potential genetic confounding while the authors describe the discovered correlations in causal terms.

We can be nearly certain that SES and TES are significantly heritable. Without accounting for that innate heritability, how can they say to what degree the outcomes are the result of circumstances/events?
you allege bias without giving any semblance of a factual proof, only an alleged motive.
If you're interested, the terminology is "independent" events, and you're correct.
Yes, because before Chrome existed most people used IE which is very slow to create or adopt new web standards and is full of bugs. That makes developing complex websites really difficult.

What company do we know that makes some the most complex web sites out there and would really benefit if the web had... I dunno WebGL so they could make a smooth mapping site, maybe with a 3D mode. Or a new version of HTTP so their sites load faster. Or a new version of TCP that works better on mobile. Or native web components that makes their web framework faster. Or HTML video so their video streaming site is more reliable.

I'll give you a hint - it starts with "Googl".

They created Chrome because IE was holding them back. Not to kill as blockers (did IE ever even support as blockers). Some people here don't use their brains...

Global DevOps Bootcamp – June 15th
Being a taxi driver was never a good job but taxis still exist, along with limos, shuttles, buses, trucks, ambulances, construction vehicles, and many other transportation positions.

Jobs change over time. Driving for a living is slowly declining in demand and you can't legislate your way out of it. How to give people new job opportunities is real valid concern but completely separate from the fact that the vast majority of Uber drivers are not looking for a fulltime driving job.

What about a revised proposal:

No line of JavaScript may execute more than 200 milliseconds after the last user touch/tap.

That would still let video sites play videos, but everything else would have to be 'ready to view' within 200ms. Let the developer decide if they want to achieve that by making resources smaller, having fewer resources, getting rid of js frameworks, etc.

Sites which need more time could demand the user hold a finger on the screen while they load up their heavy frameworks, but that would be a clear "we are slow" indicator the site would want to avoid.

Gamer's Nexus Youtube channel recently did a tour of Shenzen and produced an amazing "How it's Made" series on the components making up the majority of a modern gaming PC. One such video covers USB-C cables, here:

In brief - the cables are way more complicated, with many very thin cores. To the point they require manual labour from people in a lot of spots where simpler cables can be automated. Therefore slow to produce and expensive!

> the high-level idea here is spot on. Either you have to decouple economic growth from increased consumption of natural resources, or you have to find a way to have a stable society without economic growth

That's just a narrow-minded false dilemma. There's a (for all practical purposes) infinite universe out there, we have plenty of resources to grow even if we stop recycling.
I totally agree with you. I bought his book on writing a compiler (t3x language) and although the code and text could be more educationally structured, it certainly conveys how easy it can be to implement a simple compiler.
You aren't limited to a single database though, so you could stream your main database to a public facing one with a more stable structure.

But you'd have to handle changes through another API, or at least route them differently, and then worry about consistency so probably not ideal for all business cases.

From a type-theoretic point of view, Python is unityped: https://existentialtype.wordpress.com/2011/03/19/dynamic-lan...

Python has a lot of merit as an easy to use language, a modern BASIC, but "strongly typed" is marketing that confuses rather than enlightens (to quote Prof. Harper). The term "strongly-tagged" is perhaps more apt, but sadly that ship has sailed.
Phones consume a miniscule amount of power compared to other things you probably use. Even if it is 20% efficient if is still a drop in the ocean compared to air conditioners, tumble driers, fridges, ovens, kettles, toasters, hair driers, etc.

Pretty amazing that you can patent an idea as simple as multiplying a matrix by itself N times.
Nothing happens. Similar ranking systems are already in use and there's much more to a modern search engine anyway. It's just a small quirk of this very particular approach no longer being fully protected.

So instead they leave backdoors in thousands of servers, affecting almost 30 U.S. companies, storing personal and private data on millions upon millions of people?

Even if the US military wants to keep them in place, as to "not to tip off the Chinese", I'm pretty certain those companies CISO's would not go along with that.

All it would take is just one guy with access to the hardware to leak a sample of this imaginary "Chinese super chip" to then make the story: "US military forces US tech companies to keep Chinese spy-chips in place", the blowback to that would extremely nasty and uncontrollable.

It took me into my late 20s to realize that I had a traumatic childhood. The thing is I did not grow up in a poor or abusive household. I grew up in an upper middle class family that looked extremely normal, and for a long time believed it myself, until I started wondering why I had since jr high felt acutely depressed, empty, and unable to hold on to meaningful relationships. Only a few years ago did I realize that both my parents were emotionally neglectful and did not validate my emotions at all growing up, and did not act or behave in a way that seemed like they were even aware that emotional care and validation of their child is at the core of good parenting, and not just feeding them and putting a roof over their head.

It explained a lot about how I act today, and why I became very independent at an early age. I continue to struggle with feelings of emptiness, depersonalization, emotional numbness. It sucks to feel like you cannot escape your childhood even as a grown adult.
I've had good experience in the outskirts of Berlin.

It's a big city but it's so spread out that living in one of the outlying districts can be like living in a small town near a big city (in many ways Berlin feels more like an agglomeration of many smaller cities than e.g. Vienna).

It's also (still) a relatively affordable city, especially outside the central districts.
> keep destroying the planet,

We couldn't even scratch the planet with an all-out nuclear war, why do people always resort to such ridiculous hyperbole? The planet will be fine, we just might destroy our species (very unlikely with pollution etc.).
Not excusing DO here but there’s also a lesson to be learned about backups: make sure they’re kept off site in case the whole site itself because compromised. Usually when we say this we mean in terms of a physical disaster (eg fire) but in this case it’s also in case of a logical disaster (account getting shit down).

So the lesson is don’t leave your backups with the same cloud provider that host your database. You should also pull local copies as well

They did have backups. Thats why I asumed you meant double backups. If you do cold storage you should have 3 copies due to possible corruptions. Sure tape drives are cheap but someone also have to run and check the backups.
It's a unique milestone to see something so integral to the development of the internet as we now interact with it become expired. It's also telling that we might need to rethink the duration of the patent system as a whole because so much can change within 20 years.
I suspect many of these concerns were with PostgreSQL 9.5 and 9.6 where RLS did indeed have many performance issues. PG 10 fixed a large number of these issues, and PG11 even more. I would recommend re-evaluating RLS performance on these latest PostgreSQL versions.
While I am sympathetic to Uber and Lyft drivers and other gig economy workers, I am wondering if anyone has the done the calculus on job losses vs. making something. And whether making something is better than being jobless. I met a Uber driver the other day who drives 5000 miles per month. Clearly that is close to exploitation. But if Uber is forced to pay drivers 100% more surely there will be fewer drivers. And many people may not have a path to make money. In addition, I have met many Uber drivers who are retired and only do few hours over the weekend for supplemental income. This sweeping bill will also take out those positions. It feels like short sighted without accounting for these edge cases.

Also, what is the difference between Uber and eBay / Airbnb ? Can a seller in eBay or a host at Airbnb be considered an employee ? Essentially both eBay and Airbnb have no business without their sellers or hosts. One can claim that these are marketplaces, but the only difference between these marketplaces and Uber is that Uber sets price (according to the ABC test). Can Uber then simply skirt the law by allowing a price "opt-in" suggestion ? or even outsourcing pricing to another LLC ?

Edit: just thinking more about my last point. Uber can easily let drivers set their own price and simply show the lower price range to the passenger. Will be interesting to see how that plays out

What improvements in quality of life do we really _need_ though?

In first world countries we're so comfy and everything is so convenient that the leading causes of death are due to eating too much and not moving enough. That's pretty ironic if you ask me.

We don't have to go back to living in caves and eating raw animals of course. But I don't see how slowing down would decrease our quality of life.

There is no limit in artificial quality of life improvement. You can spend 1 month of your salary on a bread toaster or on a few iot light bulbs... Or you can send it to a private pension and retire x months earlier than the legal age.

The above author did not ask for specific examples. Prominent I have seen in the past, among others:

* Attempting to depict high profile YouTubers as promoting Nazism despite the given examples unambiguously not promoting nazism in context.

* Alleging YouTube pushes users towards right wing content when quantitative analysis shows left-leaning content outnumbers right leaning content more than 2:!, and a slim minority of recommendations going to right leaning content.

Here's one recent example: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/28/technology/google-temp-wo...

The NYT is portraying Google's use of contractors as some nefarious and unfair system of two tiers of employees. In reality this not at all specific to Google, or even tech companies. Most companies use contractors for security, office maintenance, and recruiting. This is not new. Nor is it secret. Calling it a "shadow" workforce is deceptive.

The pattern of portraying large tech companies (especially Google) in a negative light is a consistent pattern I have observed for years. Bias is inevitable when there is a conflict of interest like this. Established media and news organizations are losing huge amounts of money and influence to technology companies. Trusting them to be unbiased in their reporting face of such a conflict of interest is highly naive.

Isn't the best analogy for the public square the entire internet, not just Facebook?

If you stand in the section of the public square next to Facebook and they listen in, then it's no different than standing by any other website. It's true FB is popular and present in a large portion of the square, but they're not entirely unavoidable in the public square.

It's also true that others can talk about you and share your information in the public square and Facebook will pick it up, but now we're dealing with control over your own information in the public square, which is a different topic altogether.

> they can give "fast" sites a ranking boost in search

They can already do this though, right? They can even use the same criteria.

I guess the difference is they wouldn't have to measure it themselves and they could just trust the browser to enforce it. But they already have to execute the web page to get the indexed content, and the limits they're imposing here seem to be unworkable for most SPA's, since the document-level restrictions around things like images break down if you're going a long time without reloading the page. So it's only indexed content that would ever enable this in the first place.

The only benefit I can see is that it would allow them to bake the UI into the browser, which would make it more obvious to users. And that's great, except for the tiny problem that performance isn't binary and different browsers and environments will want to have different standards.

None of the restrictions here apply to service workers. Why not? Why shouldn't browsers like Opera Mini be able to apply a different list of restrictions that include service workers? And if we're OK with browsers applying extra restrictions, than what's the value of standardization?

Hasura sure looks interesting, but two things make e hesitant:

1. The overly complicated schema it generates. For example, given an integer id, one can (and must) use various operators to query that id, e.g. `user(id: { _eq(1) })` rather than just `user(id: 1)`, where other operators are `_gt`, `_lt`, etc. To make this possible, hasura defines a comparison object, which results in a very long schema. However, often the only comparison that makes sense is equality, e.g. for IDs, so this should be optional.

2. More importantly, using Hasura establishes coupling between the DB and the GraphQL schemas. What if at a later stage one decides to remove information from the DB and move it to an external source? GraphQL was designed to hide such implementation details. With Hasura this is no longer possible.
