I guess I "outgrew" it. It's fun when you are in high school. I think capitalism works well so long as people can keep it honest. The invisible hand needs a visible hand because two hands are better than one. I also believe capitalism will eat itself and deliver us a pretty awesome world a hundred or so years from now (assuming we police it in the interim). Eliminate borders, then eliminate around one trillion a year in needless defense spending, and all the sudden this capitalist system we've built has plenty of resources to provide for the many. Nations are the problem, not capitalism.
Ahhh, thank you. So not "Internet" as technical superproject, but "Internet" as emergent supersociety. (I don't believe that anarchists actually invented either of those things, but at least I get the reference now!)

"We will create a civilization of the Mind in Cyberspace." Gosh, I had forgotten what heady times the Nineties were!
I asked a phoneseller friend about it 'People don't want those phones' was the answer.
Could you elaborate on what you mean by "asymmetry information advantage"?

Personally, I've used tons of social media services growing up - AIM, MSN Messenger, GChat, G+, Blogspot, FB, IG, etc. I think all of them have positive traits, at least had positive traits when they started out. I've also experienced a healthy balance between online relationships and in-personal relationships. I just think it's super critical for our generation to move back to platforms that are healthier and better for our mental and social wellbeing.
I used to "protest" and then the country overwhelming voted for the authoritarian far-right party. I shifted to apathy and it is truly liberating.
As a side note, a hobby/hack I've found recently has really helped me decrease screen time.

I need to work a lot due to job circumstances, so I thought I could not afford screen off time.

But one thing I picked up is writing in a notebook. I realized that a lot of work, regardless of where you are on the totem, is planning ahead. Writing in a notebook for both work and personal introspection is very therapeutic and really helps me to focus and crystalize my thoughts. I've also bundled this with my work out sessions to pre-plan what I want to pontificate about. The general process has both helped decrease my screen time, increase my work productivity, and help me sleep better because I know that my frayed thoughts are on paper.
Getting tweets that make you emotionally upset isn't furthering any groups rights minority or otherwise. If you want to make a real difference you need to get out and connect with local political forces.

Twitter can make you feel like you are making a difference. If you can only share this with one more person maybe my rights won't abused. It is distracting you from making that difference.

Making a difference takes hard work.
>not their representatives

Right, so why do these people let themselves be represented by those figures?

I have the same question for the vast majority of the conservative voter base.
"Also, note that these results — both original and modified text from my blogs — are very different from the results based on my Twitter feed (which are shown at the beginning of this post)."

I keep thinking servers should be written a bit more like embedded thingies. (Though I suspect the actual trend is in the other direction).

Both kinds of software deeply interested an asynchrony and concurrency (though not necessarily parallelism). And both also tend to talk over networks to other gadgets as part of a complex system. And since my job often revolves around putting out fires when severs OOM, I'd also like to see a lot less malloc().

It would be nice if software could place hard upper limits on how many resources (including RAM) it takes to serve a request and then reject requests early. With real-world languages and frameworks, we can only do very primitive approximations to this. But a framework written from the bottom-up with a malloc-is-evil mentality () might be able to do it.
This bit hit me hard:

"You know what else is exhausting? Pretending to care about people you don’t give a shit about. Maybe you’re just a better person than I am and you genuinely and deeply care about everyone you are ‘friends’ with on Facebook. I didn’t. "
In the general population, enabling bluetooth is not a battery drain. Quite the contrary; having it turned off tends to result in worse battery life.

If you are reliably experiencing something you can clearly pin on Bluetooth, you either have very unusual usage patterns, or are experiencing a severe bug.
Here’s a source that gets into it, the numerology is calculated out of Hebrew transliteration so there’s some creativity involved in both cases, but while Nero would write his name in Latin, the writers of the New Testament used Greek

> It only is when the words are transliterated from Greek into Hebrew and then calculated that the numeration adds up to 666 (nrwn qsr, 50 + 200 + 6 + 50 + 100 + 60 + 200). Even so, this is an alternate spelling, a letter being transliterated in "Neron" (nrwn instead of nrw) but not in "Caesar" (qsr instead of qysr)

> If the Latin (rather than the Greek) spelling "Nero Caesar" is transliterated into Hebrew (nrw qsr), the final "n" in Neron being omitted (and its corresponding value of 50), the name computes as 616, which is the number indicated in the oldest surviving copy of the New Testament

Yeah, you're right. I don't know why that is.
You can properly engineer stuff in Node but there are no "rails" to guide you so I get that more projects will be a mess as compared to Rails or Django.

To be honest I wouldn't suggest Node as a solution for your backend which is probably why I said "something server side" because when I think Node I just think of a thin API wrapper that uses an RPC to call your Java services or what-have-you. The only reason you even do that is to give the FE people something to mesh data together from services for their clients while you can keep backend APIs generic. Luckily graphql will start to replace that convention.

Makes me want to build such a framework in TS... but why would I do that when I can just use Spring. :)
I work in Sorrento Valley and have experienced pretty consistent reception issues here. Spent the weekend in Poway and no trouble there.
My biggest issue with social media is less that it's distracting (IMO not necessarily an unhealthy thing) but that it has, for me, more than anything else seemed to make all aspects of my life a competition with others.

On Instagram, you're competing with others on who has the happiest life.

On LinkedIn, you're competing with others on who has the steepest career trajectory.

Even on Twitter, perhaps more acutely in certain jobs or industries, it seems like you're competing with other in gaining professional influence.

It creates a lot of anxiety that stems from a feeling like you're constantly on the verge of falling behind others.

Plenty of scholars/thinkers/philosophers have said something to the effect of focusing on just being a better version of you. Social media enables the exact opposite i.e. forcing you to constantly evaluate how you compare to others.
Disconnecting from people trying to push a so called 'culture war' on the general populous seems like a rational choice - as a white male, social media seems to tell me emphatically that I am the problem. Similarly social media pundits from the other side are trying to blame all measure of economic and social ills on brown people/gay people/trans people.

Both narratives are patently false.

To touch very lightly on politics, we blame the poor for being poor, and the marginalized for being marginalized - the so called 'culture war' (and the outrage on both sides) is just another round of 'circuses and bread' to distract us from real issues and prevent any real change from happening.
OP writes of anarcho syndicalism. Reply conflates it with anarcho socialism. Not sure these are the same things
Yep, I've noticed this. I'm in the younger part of the millenials, and am a teacher. My students pretty much all use Snapchat for group chats, and quite a few are using Discord, even if they're non-gamers. I use Discord, and have recently found myself trying to get more of my real-life friends into Telegram, and have multiple group chats running via SMS. It's just so much better, imo. Only reason I have Facebook is for some event notifications but I might delete it soon (deactivated it for over 6 months, didn't miss it).
> and instead anyone with the link who can sneak in has access

You don't have to make those links (and you can turn off, per server, the ability to create those links.) You can invite specific users. The user already has to have a Discord account, though.

And that's the thing; Discord has a different accounts model. Which is part of what I was referring to when I said they had a more solid tech base: when you're signed into a dozen Slack workspaces, the Slack client has to keep a dozen websockets open, because the open connection is for a given Slack account's view of the world, and Slack accounts are a sub-resource of Slack teams. This isn't a scalable model, and when the Slack app is using 1.2GB of memory and two full CPU cores, this is much of the reason why. When you're signed into a Discord account, on the other hand, you just have one connection to the server—and one state-sync session that includes all your open channels in all those servers—because your profile on a given Discord server is a sub-resource of your global Discord account.

It's the difference between how an email client connects to N accounts through IMAP, and how the Gmail mobile app is connected to N GSuite accounts.

And, as such, it wouldn't really make sense to have Discord SSO at the account level, because a Discord account is associated with the individual, not with a particular employee record of a particular Enterprise. It's not like an email address; it's more like a Keybase identity or a Facebook profile. (You could certainly have particular profiles under the Discord account that did SSO to a particular server, but this wouldn't be traditional SSO-as-we-know-it; it'd be more of a "connector" flow, like when an app wants to use your Github profile.)

Github is a good comparison, actually. Most corporations just use Github, not Github EE. You don't Enterprise-SSO to Github.com. Github.com is an SSO provider, in fact, that other sites (e.g. Asana) can take auth from!
A good Q.
You can steal the voice of somebody like Lester Holt or Tanaka Rie with about 20 hours of audio where you manually splice segments to compose sound. Sometimes you can lift a sentence, sometimes you compose paired phonemes. It is a lot of work, but it has been possible long before deepfakes.

No matter what you will need to listen to the voice and give feedback, pro narrators have directors just as actors do and it is what makes them sound so good.

Has WeWork shown us that they are different in any way than the attempts in 1956? If anything they are doing it in an even more shady manner. Some business ideas just can’t survive no matter how much “entrepreneurial drive” you have because doing so would break the laws of mathematics.
Contract Python / JS engineer, working on the largest GAE app (internal, but 2400% RoI so well regarded).
- GAE was missing basic functionality that we (as their biggest customer) couldn't get them to work on. The engineer in charge of GAE had other tasks and didn't care for this role. We ended up doing this work ourselves and I'm relatively sure this is now inside the App Engine SDK.

- Delivery was incredibly badly managed, I have to shut one one eye when I sneeze due to sinus damage caused by working when ill on a project with global visibility and no cover.

- 'Decisions based on data' isn't a thing: if you want an outcome, you research to that outcome or don't depending on how you feel.

As others have said having Google on your resume is great.

I retired my previous fitness watch (Polar M600) when its battery life got to be this bad.
I moved on to a Garmin 645M with almost a week of battery life. It is nice to be able to travel for a week on business and not worry about carrying a charger. The display is clear and always on.. It plays Spotify so I can run without my phone.
These threads always seem to miss the point. It's not about the specs, it never was, and never will be.

Apple builds, or at least tries to build, seamless experiences. It's the reason there's limited hardware, excellent software support for past versions, and a creeping product line to extend to every device you come into contact with.

The demos showcase cool specs and features, but that is not where the value lies -- it lies in integration, cohesive experience and vendor lockin.

They're pushing out decent new revisions of the phone, but the creative push is going at integration(or should be!).

If I was Apple, I'd be aggressively funding R&D, building out a low cost, separate brand (to funnel India, Africa, into Apple devices over the next ~30 years), and spending everything else on beautiful, perfect integration, and maybe fixing up the Mac line.

Sell the privacy aspect hard, sell the integration even harder, and no competitor will ever unseat you.
Gamification / token economies have been studied in scenarios such as this.

Things to seriously consider:
Do you want them to be motivated by personal gain or be motivated by passion? Which employees are currently motivated by personal gain and which are currently motivated by passion? Which projects might require extra consideration to be considered motivating and which projects might be worked on for free?

There was the fixed cost of developing it, and then the potential lost revenue of not selling it, similar to an opportunity cost.

If the presumption is that the software would be useful ("developed for a reason") economics suggests there is some price people would be willing to pay for it, and you forfeit that when you make it OSS. That absolutely costs something.

Sure you may not want to be in the business of commercial software (support, maintenance, ultimately just responsibility) which is a completely sane thing to avoid. However when you are bleeding money at the rate of a small country's GDP per year, avoiding opportunities to generate profit based on intangibles like community engagement can come off as ill-advised. In fact, if your company is declared bloated, it stands to reason that you should have the capacity to take on the additional overhead of selling the software. It is not that contributing to OSS is wrong, or that your points are wrong, just that there is a time and situation for this kind of strategy.

Contrast with Amazon, whose entire development of AWS was for the reasons you point out. Instead of open-sourcing it, to the extent that would be possible, they made it into a product and almost in a single move turned consistent overall loss into a massively profitable company.

So this is not at all to argue against the merits of having healthy OSS contribution at a company, but more to say that a company can't contribute to OSS if they are bankrupt - so avoiding the latter should be prioritized over the former.
In terms of giving people a reason for skepticism, simply telling the truth (for once) is a drop in the pan compared to all the bald-faced, dishonest, say-anything "activism" performed by various groups (e.g. the entire neoliberal media establishment) pertaining to global warming.
I think climate change is a serious issue and a threat to the species, just by the way.
I visited downtown chicago for first time. I'm sure the winter sucks, but it's really a nice city.
I should have been more clear. AWS is absolutely the right choice.

What I was trying to point out is someone engineered a system that costs 8M/mo to run yet only handles 1M rides per day.
We’ve all heard horror stories, of course, but I think it would be a mistake to generalize it to the whole industry because we don’t hear about the startups that have perfectly mundane work hours and reasonable diversity.

Don’t get me wrong, those things are problems that need to be addressed, but in my limited experience it doesn’t seem to be as common as it might appear.

I've been 2 years without Facebook, Instagram and others. I've kept my Twitter account, but I barely use it. When i quit Facebook and Instagram I noticed relief. Instant relief and huge amount of batery life. I also found out who were my true friends, they write me to my whatsapp or telegram or write emails. The rest where like fake friends.
You can still follow politics through Reuters or the Associated Press, which shouldn't contain inflammatory language -- they're about as neutral as you can come by.
My understanding is that the iPhone 7 has a few more common hardware issues than the iPhone 8. Apparently a lot of iPhone 7 models are affected by messed up speakers and mics, the audio IC defect. Kind of an important feature.

I’ll admit that’s a pretty big price difference but I wonder if that has to do with the 7’s hardware issues making it a phone to stay away from. Or maybe it’s just old and that’s why it’s cheap.
Potentially controversial: how much more battery do you need? I have an iPhone 8 and it lasts for two solid days (48 hours) if I forget to charge it and one really heavy day if I do charge it.

I agree that a little extra thickness isn’t too bad (and on USB-C), but I’m pretty happy with my battery life. Do I just not use it as much as most people? I’m genuinely curious.
> FaunaDB a perfect choice for developers who don’t know much about databases

And, from the Fauna docs:

> Related documents in FaunaDB are stored within classes (also known as collections), which are similar to tables in relational databases, except that the different items in the class are not all required to have the same fields. Typically, classes correspond to types in your application, for example, blog posts, authors, comments, shopping carts, line items, and invoices. Creating a class is easy as you don’t have to specify constraints or field names.

As someone who's dealing with a long-lived Mongo application, this "you don't have to think/know anything about databases to get started!" thing might start off as a feature, but it'll turn into an anchor.
> building out a low cost, separate brand

That is just not in Apple's DNA.
hmm... there are many libraries that are no-alloc. It seems quite feasible (well, that and custom allocators are a thing now)..
That's where we need to police it. Now maybe thats cap/trade, carbon tax, or whatever. Maybe its geoengineering. Remember this isn't just a capitalism problem, the Soviet Unions centralized economy wasn't exactly environmentally friendly. This is a humanity problem. Not many people share my optimism, but humans have been pretty good about surviving so far.
Just as a minor correction: Nobody is telling you that you specifically are the problem. The problem is that as a white male, what is called "western society" was built with you as the presumed default, and that confers to you tons of small benefits that fall into one of two categories:

1) Unfair advantages that allow you certain freedoms other groups don't have, that one could argue no one should have

2) Advantages that everyone should have, but due to being ethnic or female, they don't.

The best example I usually have for this is that when I'm pulled over by a cop for speeding, I'm annoyed to be sure and it's going to be a really bad inconvenience and probably a fair financial burden too. But I don't fear for my life. I'm not panicking on whether or not my vehicle will be searched or if the officer might plant something on me. That's not to say those things can't happen, but it's intrinsically not on my mind at all, even though it could. And those things happen to other groups all the time.

I'm not wholly convinced that it's actually a problem. Collectible card games pretty consistently beat out living card games in popularity. Needing to grind, collect, and sometimes pay more for the things you want increases your investment in the game. I hear a lot of criticism about how these things exploit our natural desires, but isn't that sort of the point of games in general? Isn't creating an addictively fun game the goal? I sometimes feel like reducing our interactions with these things to their chemicals and base psychology ignores the human experience and the reasons we've spent so much time pursuing things that people will enjoy to the detriment of other things in their life.
WoW seems like a good example. We have lots of stories of people who were unhealthily addicted to the game, but it seems like those are expected outliers for a game that could create such a passionate and invested playerbase.

It wasn’t until I quit social media that I found time to get engaged locally. Joined the board of a nonprofit, spoke with my council people, started becoming engaged in other community orgs and attending zoning and policy hearings. If you have political drive, staying away from the timeline as an outlet of that energy can be liberating.
