The demand is the equilibrium I mentioned. Businesses have largely grown to meet demand, or they would be bigger in a small timeframe.

> Maybe for you to need another employee you need a new product/process/business..

The "I" in the example, was for simplicity, try not to take it too far. The candy vendor family at the fair goes to lots of fairgrounds. They are living on the demand that exists, or he would have more employees than his family. The idea that there is some phantom demand, not being met, is at odds with reality of existing businesses as they exist (if there was more demand, there would be growth). New markets necessarily come at the expense of old markets, by-in-large because the disposable income available does not serve new demand, but is the lever that allows for it. Unless adjusted wages spike, the measurable loss of jobs will outpace the growth in every timescaled window where the related events occur.

By 2047 many things could change, maybe China would become more democratic, maybe it would be easier to build a floating city, maybe indeed China would agree to leave more autonomy.

>Its not about "their own computer". Its about consumer "devices", including ones where control should not be given to the consumer for whatever reason. e.g. electric cars or medical devices.

Why should the owners of these devices not be allowed to control them? What makes them special?

>Think of what would happen if anyone was allowed to run their own AutoPilot software on public roads.

Sure, there are plenty of ways to modify the software in a car in reckless ways that endanger those around you. But it's possible to do a lot of things that endanger those around you: you can drink and drive, drive while tired, install headlights that blind other drivers, etc. We have laws to discourage that, and they probably need updating for our modern world of software-driven cars, but at a certain point we rely on the social norm of not recklessly endangering yourself and others. (And if nothing else, the owner of the car is liable if the modifications make it unsafe.)

This is not to say I think people should be able to do whatever they want on public roads; they're not yours after all, there are plenty of restrictions you have to abide by to use them, and I wouldn't mind having a software review requirement. But the car is yours: you bought it, you should be able to do whatever the heck you want with it otherwise.
There is no center of the Universe. If the Universe is flat or negatively curved, then it is infinitely large, and if it is positively curved, then the volume is finite, but space is periodic.

Space is intrinsically expanding, and that expansion is accelerating. That's quite different from acceleration in Newtonian physics. The statements I made about acceleration are in the context of Newtonian, pre-Relativistic physics, and are only approximate in a Relativistic framework.

> I thought impeachment was rather about charging a public official with some kind of crime or wrongdoing

Impeachment “is the process by which a legislative body levels charges against a government official” [1]. Standards vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. But since the decision is made by a political body, not judges, it is ultimately a political decision.

Very interesting images! (Of course St. Petersburg!)

I'm left wondering about the soundtracks on these machines. (Maybe it's mentioned somewhere and I missed it?) I assume that they had sound (going by USSR synth tech) ... and not that the proprietors simply played pirated rock recorded on old x-ray plates!
I don't know. At the time the Newsfeed was introduced (September 2006), Facebook was not the juggernaut it was today. There were other countries with social networks that had much stronger network effects locally (e.g. Orkut).

Facebook only opened membership to non-college or high school students in Sept 2006 in fact - so if we had wanted to jump ship because of the 'stalker feed', there were still plenty of other options (e.g. MySpace) and the chance for a disruptor to launch if the other options weren't suitable. In practice, users chose to join Facebook and grow it to what we know it as now.
Regarding the 'multiple monitors' versus 'one big monitor' question, I use a largish (24") monitor with six virtual desktops.

I've definitely heard this as a reason to not give pricing in enterprise SaaS, but I actually think it's not a very good one. At a couple places I worked, we had someone on the marketing team calling around to competitors and getting quotes. Even when that wasn't the case, we'd learn about competitors' pricing structure when selling into accounts anyway. Your customers don't care about protecting your pricing strategy, and they'll happily talk about it to your competitors if it helps get them a better deal. If you have a unique pricing structure, your competitors will find out quickly, because a prospect will have to explain your quote to get help understanding how it compares to others.

I just want to comment that Wal-Mart isn’t “playing catch-up” to Amazon, but simply plugging up holes in their business plan.

Critics of Wal-Mart’s online competency seem to forget that not only is Wal-Mart the largest company by revenue - on the planet - but Amazon doesn’t even crack the top 20.

As far a business goes - an organization to provide value exchange - they are doing better than almost any other business in the world, depending on the metric you’re measuring with.

I work as a web developer for an enterprise-level software company.

Experimented a bit with CSS-in-JS, which is designed to get rid of this separation, and I found it to ultimately be harder to maintain than SCSS. This process was also what got me hooked on BEM after being initially pretty skeptical about whether it had any real value.

I now believe that BEM would meet the needs of most teams, with the exception of a few massive software houses like Facebook. And most companies don't fall into the Facebook category, even if they think they do.

I've also taken some time to reflect on older companies I've worked for, particularly some work I did at Oracle, which was for a reasonably large team spread across several continents. I think BEM would have been good enough for us there as well.

I would propose the following test: Is your front end in a monorepo? If so, BEM is probably good enough to solve any problems with scope and style conflicts. If your code can fit in a monorepo, I think its unlikely you will ever have a legitimate reason to duplicate a component name in multiple places.

Take it or leave it, just my experience, I'm sure other people would advocate different things. But it's by no means a settled debate, different people/orgs have come to different conclusions. It's just that one side writes a lot more blog posts.
I don't think it ever made sense.

The biggest problem with CSS is that it is essentially global state, and you can get tricky action-at-a-distance effects that you never considered if you happen to wrrite some ids that something else is expecting to own and their selectors are poorly written. Or you can monkey-patch over it and break other things.

Tightly scoping things can make CSS workable, but requires discipline. And things that require discipline to do right don't scale well.

Bug image format – because why not
Strongly agree with this. That is a big part of the reason I don't think a unified API on all platforms helps the situation much. Hardware across different vendors and device categories (mobile vs console vs PC) varies wildly. I've never worked on a game that targeted console where "PC directx" and "Xbox directx" weren't different targets and usually AMD and Nvidia had slightly different code paths in some places for extensions or profiling reasons. Add to the fact that just having a portable graphics API doesn't magically make your game portable to all platforms, and that most games are made with portable engines that already run in some from on all major consumer hardware it just seems like there is less of a practical reason for Vulkan every where.

It would be nice to know whether a significant fraction of what you describe happened after 2014, which is approximately when the major provisions of Obama's health-care reforms kicked in.
Maybe "curation" isn't quite the right word, but filtering and QC are valuable. If I walk into Walmart I'm much less likely to find counterfeits on the shelves vs. buying online from Amazon, and most products will be generally fit for purpose. As an example I have purchased tie-down straps (not for heavy weight use) on both Amazon and Walmart. The Amazon straps were dyed with some harsh, non-color-fast chemical that smelled terrible and left a nasty black film on everything. The Walmart straps were cheaper, didn't smell bad, and didn't leave residue behind.

It used to be that Amazon was safe to buy most things from. But now, even if I'm getting something cheap, by going to a physical retail store I have some kind of quality floor for what they put on the shelves.

----

Since you're talking about groceries, I've also found Walmart in my small hometown has a significantly better produce variety and quality than any Target I've seen in any big city, nearly rivaling that of e.g. Whole Foods (and sometimes surpassing simply because there's a lot more space available).

> Hong Kong believed China's word on separate laws separate courts

Plenty of Hong Kongers left before 1997 for this exact reason.

It wasn't a question about whether Hong Kong believed China's assurances - that decision was made in London, not Hong Kong.
In terms of medicine, the further an organism is from humans the less likely it's compounds are directly useful. Bacteria have a huge variety of compounds, but are so alien they have been a poor source of medical compounds. Plants on the other hand while still very separated from us need to interact with animals on a regular basis which closes the gap.

CRISPER is arguably the exception that proves the rule here. Extremely useful, but no need to preserve exotic locations.

PS: Not that I necessarily agree with this, but I have seen this line of reasoning put forth.
> Impeachment “is the process by which a legislative body levels charges against a government official”

The article you've linked to says that in Hong Kong it requires 'serious breach of law or dereliction of duty'. I can't see how becoming unpopular would meet either of those conditions?

> since the decision is made by a political body, not judges

The article you've linked to says that in Hong Kong impeachment charges are investigated by judges.

This is more a matter for regulation than for copyright, I think. Even if the car's ECU and AI code were under GPLv3, governements could prohibit using non-certified versions of the software on public roads and levy hefty penalties and jail time when drivers are caught using wildcat software...

>Trader Joe's

For me it's the opposite. Trader Joe's has reliable staples. When I try to buy something like bacon at Whole Foods (now owned by Amazon) and I have to make sure I'm not getting something unexpected like uncured or unsmoked bacon and that's a waste of energy. When I buy stuff at Trader Joe's it's always been reliably tasty.

This Global Warming religion is far more nonsensical than the standard old school ones.

I wonder if the Atheist groups realised this, that by destroying the standard religions, people would just move to others?

As a front-end dev working on the web for roughly twenty years, I concur. I was late to the game with BEM and initially bristled since it goes against patterns I thought were working for me. Plus, it's not exactly terse. But, it won me over. I also agree with your comments on CSS-in-JS ... in practical terms, I feel BEM, properly executed, can handle the CSS portion of a large majority of projects.
This is dishonest. They're implying that

"Licensed under GPL 2.0"

Walmart anyway does more curation than most discount retailers. Buy some Walmart store brand re-closable plastic bags and they will at least work without being frustrating or constantly tearing. Buy the cheapest option at some other cheap store and you are rolling the dice.

They sell lots of stuff that is on the cheap side of the price-quality trade off, don't get me wrong, I just think they've learned to take a step back when they need to.
I've seen both. I've worked at early stage (seed/A) enterprise startups and have seen the pricing strategy evolve (including moving from publicly listed prices to making people talk to sales). In those cases, we were still really finding out who the right buyers were, so there was a lot of analysis of pipeline and conversions.

There was also a lot of analysis of churn, and for one company that was the big driver of the change - companies that engaged with sales took up measurably less time from customer success post-sale and were much less likely to churn.

That said, I've also come in later and seen the talk to sales culture already there, clearly driven by experience at the VP/C-level.

That said, what I have found to be pretty much universally true is that for enterprise SaaS deals over a certain figure (typically something like 100kish, though it can differ by customer industry/type of software), the buyer expects to talk to someone and won't consider a company that doesn't have a sales team.
The conversation in this thread has made me wonder after reading it if anyone uses Apache2 as their webserver anymore.

> it's investigated by the judiciary

A committee chaired by a judge investigates [1]. It then recommends findings to the LC. The LC, a political body, makes the decision to impeach.

> in Hong Kong it requires 'serious breach of law or dereliction of duty'

Practically speaking, based on history and the motivations of those involved, popularity figures into impeachment processes. Being unpopular doesn’t lead to impeachment alone. But pretty much anything could fit into Hong Kong’s “dereliction of duty” standard, for instance.

Of the 16 possible 2-input/1-output gates:

* 8 of them are linear, in that the output is A xor (B and X) xor (C and Y). Any combination of these can only ever generate linear combinations of their inputs, thus they cannot be universal.

* 6 of them are monotonic, in that X op Y <= X' op Y' if X <= X' and Y <= Y'. Any combination of these can only ever generate monotonic functions of their inputs, thus they cannot be universal.

* 4 gates (0, X, Y, 1) are both linear and monotonic.

* The 6 gates which are neither linear nor monotonic are universal.
Yep - on a related note, those experiences have also led more than one company I've worked at to require that you sign a services contract for implementation when you buy the product. When it's optional, the people who opt out of it are often the people who need it most, and they end up taking up dozens of hours of your support team's time instead of the ten hours they should have spent with your implementation team up front.

I agree. I have moved away from using IDs for CSS, though, as have a lot of other front-end developers. I use IDs strictly for JavaScript now. I was a happy user of IDs for CSS for probably twenty years but the transition away from that was largely painless and I don't feel like I lost anything along the way.
Well, if it's exactly what you just said, then I completely misunderstood what you said. Repeating it isn't going to help.

What I thought you said was that rationality is relative to goals, and that different people have different goals.

What I was trying to add to the discussion is that these goals are rational behaviors that arise from our value systems and beliefs. Different people can have different goals but the same beliefs, they might have more in common with each other than people with the same goals but different beliefs.

>>As I understand it, the premise of the argument for interviews and against work-sample testing is that candidates won't perform work-sample challenges.

My understanding, as I've heard from others, is that it's not that candidates won't perform work-sample challenges, but that they can't, due to various non-work obligations that result in lack of free time.

This leads to a situation whereby interview processes that feature work-sample tests discriminate against people with families and kids/dependents.

There's essentially a push to relabel/rename many "unsupervised" methods and "self-supervised". Yann Lecun is one of the more famous proponents of this (https://www.facebook.com/yann.lecun/posts/10155934004262143), but I've been seeing the term gain traction.

The reason for this is that people felt that unsupervised learning was a misleading name for many of the so-called unsupervised learning methods, such as language-modeling. They argue that there is a supervised training signal in these methods, the only difference is that the training signal comes from the model "input" itself, rather than an external label.

Ultimately, I'm not entirely sure if there is really a distinction between the two if you argue it all the way down to the details (is PCA unsupervised? or self-supervised since it's constructing a model with respect to its own inputs), but I think it's generally intuitive what self-supervised methods refer to and I'm on board for this renaming.
