You can get a far better quality of life in most other cities on the standard developer salary than you can in London. I know multiple colleagues who have moved out of London, taken a large salary cut but ended up with a far higher quality of life and more disposable income despite it.

Also the idea that other cities are second-tier is incredibly biased. Sure London has some things that the RUK doesn't but there are also plenty of things you can't get in London (fresh air for one). It's a different lifestyle, not a 'second tier' lifestyle. Also other cities are cities, they might not be mega cities but that's not the definition of the word.

Lastly the career opportunities part depends. Yes there are less opportunities but there are also far less people vying for them. Smaller pond but bigger fish. If you're a careerist looking to become the top 1%, London is probably your best bet in the UK, but it's perfectly possible to work in the top 10% outside of London.

Ransomware relies on trust, because if you don't actually hold up your end and decrypt the data then no one will bother to pay you in the future. The entire "market" is best served by playing "fair", in so far as that can be applied here.

That doesn't mean some criminals won't just take the money, but it does mean that most of them wont and that the larger players have a vested interest in keeping that behavior to a minimum.
PG's ANSI common lisp was one of the first books I learned to program from. I still prefer it over Practical Common Lisp, partly because I appreciated the greater depth (I felt) it covered the basics in, and in that it was slightly more abstract...

But mostly because Appendix D gives a really succinct description of the language, key functions, all the different parameters to FORMAT and LOOP, and all the different read macros. Never underestimate the value of a good appendix!

Since 2000, AMD has often beaten Intel on multi-threaded workloads, but never single-threaded (at comparable clocks). This bench shows AMD beating Intel on both! That's what's incredibly notable here. The last time it happened was 20 years ago with the AMD K7.

Now Zen 2 seems to overall beat Intel on every metric: single-threaded perf, multi-threaded perf, perf/dollar, perf/watt. No matter how you look at it, Zen 2 comes out on top.¹ Very impressive.

Man the folks at Intel must feel the heat.

There is a non trivial overlap between the people present for the creation of C (which followed B) and the creation of Go - so there may have been something weird in the water at Bell Labs sometime around 1980. D just followed the existing convention and C++ started out as an extension on top of C.

JavaScript on the other hand was an entirely intentional marketing move. Only issue was that the programmer they hired to create the language wasn't on the Java hype train.

>The death of the protocol.
People no longer release protocols, they release products. The open net, the open web has truly died.

People ascribe too much credit to a protocol. The real issue is the funding model to support spending money on that protocol.

By focusing the lens on the funding, the web wasn't as "open" as people think. The so-called "open" web was a government project which wasn't fully open to the public until about ~1995. Before then, you had to work on government-funded projects (ARPANET & NSFNET). The "open" web was actually quite closed off to people that didn't belong to an institution to give them an ".edu" or ".mil" address.

>I wonder sometimes what we're missing because the conditions that let the web grow out of the internet have disappeared.

The "conditions" were government sponsorship to pay for protocols.

- Vint Cerf developed the TCPIP protocol -- but he was funded by DARPA (USA government). Mr Cerf didn't have to go to venture capital firms on Sand Hill Rd and get funding to pay the salaries of his team to build a proof-of-concept or "MVP". He didn't have to worry about not making payroll if his TCPIP protocol project failed.

- Tim Berners-Lee developed the http protocol and also HTML language -- but he was funded by CERN...which is one step removed from being funded by a consortium of governments[0]. Therefore, TBL didn't have to wear a "salesman" hat and pound the pavement begging enterprise customers to buy his "http protocol stack" so he could buy his expensive NeXT workstation[1] to help build and test the protocol.

Those are prominent examples but it doesn't mean people can't create new protocols on their without government help. The SSL protocol was developed by Netscape -- a commercial business. I believe the the git protocol was developed by Linus without a government grant. (Also note that http v1 was funded by CERN (government sponsored) but http/2 & http/3 appears to be mostly funded by Google (non-government sponsored).)

But notice what happens with "open protocols" like SSL and git: they eventually run into a wall where somebody has to spend money on it. The SSL protocol is free of royalties but the Certificate Authorities issuing certificates are not free of charge. The git protocol is free but enterprise accounts for Github are not. The ActivityPub protocol is also free but Mastodon servers are run by altruistic admins spending their own money or requesting Patreon donations. Somewhere, money has to be spent and that ultimately constrains what the "free web" will be. Releasing a "free to use protocol" is not enough.

Therefore, it doesn't matter if the old IRC protocol is free of charge. People still have to spend money on auxiliary features outside the scope of the protocol. Slack spent money on those extra features (e.g. searchable history, etc) that nobody spent on IRC.

This is true, and that's why you should advocate for charity - which is based on free will decision on controlling your own property and resources, just as all the interactions that make up modern world that you so thoroughly describe.

The "human right" concept, however, is entirely different: it is referring to use of the mechanism that has monopoly on violence, the state, to redistribute these resources, by the use of or threat of use of said violence, without any free will involved. This mechanism completely removes individual capability of making a moral decision, and uses morality as a pretext to obtain monopolistic, bureaucratic power.

In my view, this monstrous mechanism, which is capable of despotism thousands as bad as any other, should be only used for things that cannot be achieved without it, such as rule of law. Charity and helping others is a noble thing, but since it can be achieved without it, just through free individuals decisions, it should.

The difference between a multi-million pound mansion owned by an offshore holding company on behalf of a billionaire and sort-of-okay almost affordable housing is usually only a few hundred pounds a year.

And accountability has clearly not been improved in any way.

In fact billionaires rarely pay council tax at all because councils rarely chase them. There's no point sending bailiffs to an empty property protected by professional security owned by a company with an offshore address that's effectively immune to any form of legal action.

Having started bee keeping myself, I think there is a lot at play here...

1. Mites - resistant to poisons that kill mites, but not bees are spreading. This can kill hives.

2. Temperatures - are changing, where I am at 33% colony loss is relatively common due to winters (and the bees not having enough honey to survive or it gets too cold). This has been the case forever though, at least in my region

3. Africanization - of honeybees has reduced their ability to withstand the cold.

4. Travel - Many of the commercial hives in the US travel vast distances to pollenate fields. The California almonds are a huge example. This very much stresses the hive.

5. Poisons - we know if you’re near a field doing crop dusting it can kill the hive. Combine with point #4 and this creates issues today.

One thing to mention, is that setting up a new hive is relatively easy. You take a new (or about to be) queen, some workers and separate them. They’ll form a new hive. This can be done once a year (or more) on a healthy hive in the spring. Meaning... we can double the bee population yearly. They recover very well, if we know what to do to minimize hives death.

> Ms. McFadden, a former anti-money-laundering compliance officer at the bank, told The New York Times last month that she had flagged transactions involving Mr. Kushner’s family company in 2016, but that bank managers decided not to file the suspicious activity report she prepared. Some of her colleagues had similar experiences in 2017 involving transactions in the accounts of Mr. Trump’s legal entities, although it was not clear whether the F.B.I. was examining the bank’s handling of those transactions.

Perhaps we could start by jailing those directly involved in the money laundering? I find it hard to put too much blame on those trying to provide customer service to the President's family.
Thank you :-) I should probably feature the samples more clearly.
Loss of wealth is never good for anyone. Start with the waste of resources – money was spent on pointless construction and creation that have much lower value than expected. Empty unsold houses benefit no one. Those resources could have been used productively for long term benefit. It’s in all of our interests to discourage the waste of resources like that and encourage productive uses.

Then there’s the re-allocation of resources to cover the loss. If a couple make a loss of $1m selling a house, then they may need to liquidate $1m of savings to cover the loss, withdrawing that capital from the cycle of investment in productive economic activity. Interest and profits on investment don’t come from nowhere, they’re generated from the productive activities those investments support. Now there is less capital available to do useful economic work.
How to View What a Site Looked Like in the Past (Wayback Machine Alternatives)
So it was alleged. The exact same transparency was there in the domestic rates, as the levy was on property value. Rates had one big advantage - houses don't move around much. The overheads of collection are minimal.

The truth, of course was removing a tax on the wealthier, and drastically cutting the amount of revenue councils were able to raise locally. A good part of how we ended up with one of the most centrally controlled systems there is. Westminster decides how much funding councils get, council tax tops up a little of it. A "blessed" council can charge lower taxes through receiving higher central funding.

A welfare benefit that only some are eligible for and requires retrospective claim does not make a tax progressive. Especially with how broken the welfare system has become for those needing to claim whilst working. The absolute numbers matter little.

Because in real terms it may not be real hardship so much as inconvenience - unless they're hugely indebted, which then makes it a much bigger problem for everyone.

Exactly. For instance, I go on a day-trip deep sea fishing every year, for cod and pollack and haddock, etc. Wherever those other fish are, there are always schools of dogfish too - basically garbage little sharks. When somebody pulls up a dogfish on their line, the mate on the boat just smashes it against the rail and tosses it overboard. Technically, I think dogfish are protected or vulnerable or some sort of classification, but they are like seagulls, no shortage of them and they are a big nuisance.

This concern is vague, frequently raised, and not especially useful. What are you advocating, specifically? That the amount of compute being thrown at problems is excessive relative to the economic benefit that Google (or whoever) derives from training models as long as they do? This is an empirical question, and it’s well understood how much compute is useful. Are you saying that advances in M.L. theory are coming too slowly because we focus too much on hardware? I spend maybe a third of my day job reading journal articles, and the rate of ideas coming out is blistering.

This isn’t people banging GPUs together in desperation because nothing works. This is what happens when everything works better and better the more money you throw at it with no apparent end.
iirc, amd was beating intel on single thread in the pentium 4 era with way lower clocks.
I think the issue is that sort of behavior requires coherence it may not have and can fail if say its stacks are stuck in infinite loops. That approach seems a bit more like a "launch options" than a "reset" function.

A reset signal on the chip level essentially needs to takes priority over all other processes - since if they aren't responding to requests from entering undefined behavior it will never hand over. Then once reset is achieved it restores it to a base state - implying either a default state like say all 0s or all 1s works without any logic (probably not for internet of things) or it loads over a default state from a ROM.
"Lapses" seem ok to me if some upper management are also fortunate enough to gain involuntary entitlement to free food and lodgings.
I learned with ANSI CL, then read PG's On Lisp (which I downloaded from somewhere and printed, I don't think it was available). ANSI CL is great, the chapter where he writes an OO framework is just amazing. And On Lisp blew my mind.

Seibel's Practical Common Lisp is a good book, worth reading, but quite lacking in the "practical" aspect, which tends to be implementation-dependent.

London's population dropped for a long period after the war: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2015/01/07...

> The good jobs ARE largely in London

Well, yes. Each individual is only doing what's best for their circumstances. What I'm questioning is whether this is how it has to be, this centralisation, and whether good jobs could be distributed round the country a bit more by some policy choices.
Fair enough, although the Cato report glosses over or ignores a lot of interesting subtleties in its cited sources (e.g. the FRB Atlanta report [15]). For arguments that minimum wages reduce employment, I'd sooner trust the various NBER working papers on the subject: https://www.nber.org/papers/w12663 https://www.nber.org/papers/w23532 https://www.nber.org/papers/w20724

Does any of that research suggest that a zero minimum wage is optimal in some sense? No. But I will grant you that raising the minimum wage might not do what we hope it would do.
