The next evolution of the internet is most probably the internet of value. Google is in the position to push this and be the largest player in that new internet but reading their ideas on how to fix the current internet I don't think they are ready for real change.

I would like to suggest a great talk about this topic from David Schwartz.
https://youtu.be/FUtlTgWyX5w?t=5223 Use this URL for the web monetization part he come straight to the point. Whats broken, why and how to fix it in less than 2 minutes. He then explains more technically how the internet of value can/is be created. Very interesting for anyone who know the basic about IP and the different layer that made our internet really usable.

I someone wanna watch his full talk use this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUtlTgWyX5w&t=4200s
Accroding to wikipedia, he was in South Korean Special Forces at the time. Here's what the wikipedia article about the south korean special forces involvement in the Korean axe murder incident

> In addition, a 64-man task force of the South Korean Special Forces accompanied them, armed with clubs and trained in taekwondo, supposedly without firearms. However, once they parked their trucks near the Bridge of No Return, they started throwing out the sandbags that lined the truck bottoms, and handing out M16 rifles and M79 grenade launchers that had been concealed below.[3] Several of the commandos also had M18 Claymore mines strapped to their chests with the firing mechanism in their hands, and were shouting at the North Koreans to cross the bridge.[12][13]
it is a shell game. I spent the best years of my life, my 20s and early 30s, building a career that was formidable and lauded by peers and colleagues, in a contracting industry. a nervous breakdown from work/life dysfunction led me to graduate studies in contemplative Tibetan Buddhist psychology. I have not worked a day in five years. there are mediating circumstances of privilege, position and inherited /accumulated wealth that have permitted me to choose not to partake in the power-oriented dynamics and economics of the modern "free market" wherein one has no choice but to subjugate free will unto the institutionalized corporation (at center of Western life) and its requisition of children consumers--who lack free will or organized behavioral/stimulus response to reject consumerization behavior mod. Therein the slaves remain working for unseen pharaohs and praying for unnecessary Saviors.
From the article:

"We had a chance to speak to Matt Manning who provided some clues to what may have led to his account being compromised.

'I probably hadn’t logged into the rubygems web UI since 2011/2012. I don’t know if they had 2fa back then, and I wasn’t disciplined about using a password manager then. I use 1password now, but that login was so old that I didn’t even have it in 1pass, so I didn’t catch it when I audited dupes, etc there. I probably haven’t pushed a public gem since 2014. I guess my api key was cached for that.'

Matt raises a point of interest in which we’ll dive into further later, but, its worth noting that he hadn’t pushed to a public gem since 2014. This long predates when 2FA was introduced to RubyGems, which was announced on this blog post November 2018 RubyGems Updates (rubygems.org) in 12/09/2018."
>While I agree with most of the sentiment, it should be noted most companies don’t ‘hyper-focus’ specialization like that.

There are a lot of on-premise software vendors who are exactly like this. The consulting group exists to deploy, configure, and customize their software. While the consultants may connect and integrate with other systems, it's just a bad idea to start configuring systems from other vendors.

For example, the software we (the company I worked for) sold could pull data from MS SQL. One of our customers had a product from another vendor that stored real-time data in an MS SQL server. Except, it was stored in a funky table structure and the SQL server was installed as part of that product install. It wasn't a standalone SQL server the client installed separately.

The customer asked us to pull data in real-time from that server. After about a day of digging, it was clear the other vendor never intended for data to be pulled from this database and I had a ton of concerns about locks and lost data. So I said they needed to talk to the other vendor about this. As soon as I said "data loss" my management agreed with the decision to not mess with that database. I could certainly talk about our system and what we were trying to do with the other vendor, but we wouldn't touch that SQL server unless they said do.

Consultants at Mulesoft, Talend, and even Cloudera are going to do the same thing. They may pull data from other databases, but the sensible consultants aren't going to start making big changes to a customer's MS SQL server, even if the consultant is highly experienced with that database.

Why does it seem like that anything Apple manufactures, while beautiful, is easily broken/damaged?
A majority of state electors pick the president. The president won the most states, so he is president.

In the EU, is Ireland less important than Germany? Why doesn’t Germany get to pick the EU president each time? Since Germany has over 80 million people, they could team up with France and simply own the EU. Ireland and Poland would be forced to go along with whatever Germany and France wanted. Or, they would leave the EU.

If California and New York picked the president every single time, why would other states bother staying in the Union? If you just have to win New York City and Los Angeles and Chicago, then every single policy proposal would simply be to benefit those voters alone. You could deny federal protections and funding to every other part of the country because you’d rather have more money to spend in New York City. It would become just like the Hunger Games where the “districts” would serve the capitol.

The current system has worked for 200+ years. Just because some people didn’t like outcome, doesn’t make the system broken.
There are perfectly good solutions. Wind turbines, solar panels, batteries, and power-to-gas facilities. If you want to some nuclear reactors. Add insulation for homes, heat pumps, electric cars and public transport and you're there. We just need to build them. It's not hard, it's expensive. There is no new technology needed at this point.
My first thought when reading your comment was "How could you possibly fit everything there is to learn into 4 hours a day?", but I think the disconnect is in two different conceptions of what a job is -

For most people, a job is something where you are hired to do a specific task for a specific wage, using specific skills that you learn once and then apply many times. "Make this button green." "Move the navbar 20px to the right." "When this button is clicked, send off an RPC to the server, and when it's complete, update the table with the relevant data."

These types of tasks lend themselves well to an "instruction manual" approach to skill acquisition: you read the manual, you apply it to your job, you memorize the parts that you use frequently, and you're done. Once you know everything in the manual, there's little point in studying further, because you know everything in the manual.

A smaller (but growing) minority of jobs require you to solve a vaguely-defined problem, where there is no manual because nobody's solved it before, and often times the problem hasn't even been posed in a tangible form. "Find out who wrote everything on the web." "Evaluate whether we should invest $5M into this venture capital fund." "Identify our next billion-dollar business." "Make cryptocurrency useful."

These jobs lend themselves to a "toolbox" approach. There is no manual, but if you have a wide enough breadth of experience, you've picked up a large variety of tools that you might be able to apply to the problem. So if you're tasked with figuring out who wrote what on the web, one approach might be ask the authors by having them add HTML markup, and then parsing and following that. Another approach might be to identify author bylines through machine-learning and then cross-reference them with a database of peoples' names that appear on the web. A third approach might be to identify pictures next to the byline and run facial recognition on them. You don't know which approach will be most useful until you're given the problem and actually try a few, but the bigger your toolbox, the more likely you are to find one that works.

The financial returns to these types of jobs tend to scale exponentially with their complexity, because the number of people who can solve them decreases exponentially. That's why it's beneficial to have as big a toolbox as you possibly can if you want to play in these markets.
> For example, supply and demand is not a good explanation for why you can't come into most work environments in your undergarments.

Sure, when we get to ridiculous cases. But things just short of that, supply/demand is a huge contributor to. Showing up to work in shorts and flip flops? How acceptable this is depends a lot upon how hot the job market is.

Of course, no matter how hot the demand situation is-- it is never going to cause one to tolerate behavior so egregious that it scares away other employees and makes the supply picture worse.
> If this funding is cut, we are concerned that we will see much less accessible content for everyone.

Yeah, that is exactly what Google is concerned about. /s

I'm curious, and I'm prefacing this up front because I'm not always good at writing what I say in a way that may not feel like I'm coming from a good place, so here goes:

Whats your testing story? This to me seems like not writing good, solid, abstracted tests before doing proper implementations of your code. This could be solved with good interface design, and perhaps be faster.

I apologize in advance if this sounds harsh. This sounds like the exact thing folks on my team were trying to do, and it was turning things very sub-optimal.

(Disclaimer: I'm a bit of a TDD/BDD idealogue. Not as hardcore as Uncle Bob[0], certainly, but close enough. I think writing Interfaces before Tests is acceptable, I think that might be where things differ, i guess).

>Recent studies have shown that when advertising is made less relevant by removing cookies, funding for publishers falls by 52% on average

The source for this seems to be a Google Ad Manager "study" (a paragraph in the middle of https://www.blog.google/products/ads/next-steps-transparency...).

Was this an apples-to-apples comparison, i.e. did they serve relevant contextual ads when they turned off cookies?

Other studies disagree:

I'm 56 years old, run 2500-3000 miles per year, and have many friends who do the same. I don't know of anyone with a "chronic" injury from running, and to be honest I don't even know what that might be.

"Overuse" injuries are quite common, though. They're injuries that you get from doing more than your body is capable of at the time (often just trying to do "too much too soon"). These injuries go away when you reduce the stress on your body. They can last a long time if you continue to overstress your body by running too much (or failing to fix problems in your running form, which is a form of that), but they are not what most people would think of as "chronic" injuries (that stick with you indefinitely). You have ongoing overuse injuries only if you continually run more than your body can handle.

I would also add that just because you get an overuse injury at, say, 40 miles/week of training doesn't mean you can never run more than that injury free. You need to reduce stress, run less, let your body strengthen (or fix running form problems) and then slowly increase training again. Years ago I had issues when building average miles up over around 30 miles/week. They took some time to work through. Now I run average 50+ mile weeks for most of the year and I'm perfectly fine (actually feel much stronger and in better health than before). I need to be careful during periods when I'm ramping up to 80+ miles/week for an upcoming race, increasing stress on my body. Running injury free can require a lot of problem solving.

As an aside, I did run down at the Caballo Blanco race with the Tarahumara down in the Copper Canyons last March. They changed the course this year and made it a lot more "technical" (more trail running with lots of rocks). The winner of the race, Miguel Lara, wore running shoes, not huarache sandals. He has won many times before wearing huaraches, but chose to switch to shoes this year because of the increased technicality (primarily rocks) of the course.

> however, the dependence on an employer was much greater than the old dependence on your lord

I'm not sure the dependence was much greater, but it was less likely to be honored restart than mercilessly abused by the employer, because capitalism arose in the context of a huge labor surplus created by agricultural productivity revolutions, whereas feudal tenancy arose in tighter labor conditions and had grown traditions (and in some cases legal structures) based on that. Which is not too say that feudalism was without massive abuses of dependent relationships, itself.

It isn't that level of emergency. If it was, western governments would be curbing the largest producers of emissions. Not asking the populace and other nations to curb emissions while doing nothing about more egregious activities.

His problem, and you can see from his wording, is that he thinks about "graphics" not "art." Sure he made a 3d game. So what. He doesn't seem to have the same passion for art direction as he does for game design so its not surprising at all that you can throw money at the wrong problem and not get much out.

I hope so. But I think this may only hold if firms think that these tariff disputes will be an ongoing thing, only then will they make capital expenditures in developing countries.
We have about 10 years of emissions left if we want to stay below 2°. Building nuclear plants takes ten years on average, at the current rate of building them. If you wanted to suddenly build two or three orders of magnitude more, you'd first have to scale up the supply chain, e.g. for pressure vessels.

There is not enough time left for a nuclear revolution.

I think others have pointed out that this belief that he'd have to hire someone is a fallacy.

He's leaving money on the table because he's too stubborn to admit that visuals matter to a lot of people and the basics of design aren't so complicated that they'd eat his dev time/budget.
But then you've basically got a machine which turns iron into iron oxide and hydrogen, which you'll then have to put loads of energy back into to return to raw iron again. At best its an energy storage method. I can't imagine it's got a very good round trip efficiency though.

There were a lot of very interesting comments on a previous link "What if Consciousness Came First" [1] that I think shoehorn into this discussion pretty well.

Someone brought up the question of if there was a formal "programming language" for philosophy. [2]

One of the difficulties with discussing AI is that we don't know what intelligence is because we don't know what consciousness is. These are problems that are heavily steeped in philosophy, and if we ever want to work with philosophical concepts digitally, we need a proper programming language to do it with.

Ideally, it would be nice to be able to write out philosophical concepts and social behaviors and moral stances in a form that could be used as a ML training set to try to integrate with AI/ML decision making.

Activision/Blizzard like to pretend Diablo and Starcraft don't exist for some reason. Diablo 3 is one of the best selling games of all time, yet the next Diablo game is a free to play mobile game developed by a Chinese company known for their exploitative microtransactions model. Diablo 4 might be in development but we don't know anything about it and if it exists it's likely 5+ years from release.

As far as I know Starcraft is mostly dead. They did the remastered version of the first game but I don't think there are any new projects on the horizon.

The definition of work is itself a manifestation of industrialization, post-U.S. revolution.
Previously, in the teleologically-oriented universe of the Medieval period and early Enlightenment, there was little if any distinction between work and life. Exceptions were for those who sought to become members of Guilds -- the architects, alchemists, millers, bakers and too herbalist apothecaries whose guild was closesly associated to the early Catholic church and later, loosely, with Luther's heresy.
People with running shoes tend to heel-strike increasing the amount of force dissipated into your joints. People who run barefoot tend to forefoot-strike, distributing a lot more of the impact into the calf muscle instead. The calf is also naturally springier than the cartilage, which makes it easier to run also -- and calf muscle grows back, cartilage much less so.
Well, I have this anecdote. We switched from serde to our own serialization / deserialization scheme (it still uses serde, but only for the JSON part), which is heavily based on dynamic dispatch, and actually got it faster.

Wasn't apples to apples comparison, but it was some times faster at the time (my memory doesn't serve me, but something around 3x to 5x). Also, compilation speed went down (well, at the time :) ). It was mostly due how some of the features work in serde (flatten and tagged enums), though.

I made a separate, cleaner, experiment (https://github.com/idubrov/dynser), which does not show that dramatic improvement (again, wasn't apples to apples, there were other factors which I don't remember), but shows some.

This comparison is a bit biased, you could compare IOS and Android naming which will be the same from now on "name - version number".

I think the cultural argument is not the most important one for this decision, the important point is that old naming is confusing to newcomers and customers since Android has a lot of disparities between devices and supported versions[1] whereas Apple can count on a very high rate of adoption for their new versions[2].

It is for sure a marketing move even if it hurts Android users who used to love this naming convention.
