Yes, that is also one of the legacies of the GI Bill.

If it's going to college that fuels social mobility, then more people going to college today than in 1940s and 50s should mean more social mobility today. Since allegedly the opposite is true, there must have been something else different between 1940s and 50s and now, that has nothing to do with GI Bill funding more people going to college.

If you think you're being clever

There's no need for snark.

Hey Brad, definitely take a look at Capacitor. We built it explicitly to solve those issues in Cordova. Also keep in mind Flutter also has to deal with native projects and deps so there are some “hard problems” not unique to Cordova here
Another issue is that most of such modifications also suggest editing the allowed ciphers, which makes it easier for servers to track you.

Registered how? It's pretty obvious that these people were living off grid and didn't want to be registered with anyone in any way, and that (in and of itself) shouldn't be illegal.

Are you sure they know more about it than you, or do they just style themselves as knowledgeable? If mozilla really wants to be truly data driven, then maybe they should look at the data and realize that perhaps trying to be data-driven has contributed to Firefox's decline into relative obscurity.

The way I see it, "data driven" design is often similar to an over-reliance on standardized testing or zero-tolerance policies; a way of abdicating responsibility for a decision and covering your own ass. "Users hate this but I'm not to blame because I was just going off the data" has become the new "Sure everything ended up going sideways, but can you really blame me for buying IBM? Nobody gets fired for buying IBM."

Where is the data to suggest that data-driven design actually produces the desired results? That seems to be missing.

> Ghibli is preserving the "value" of the film by not allowing it to be made into a commodity.

I guess I disagree in the sense that it already is, and this restriction is actually devaluing the material. Ghibli DVDs are everywhere; a lot of them are not official, and make money for pirates rather than for the studio. You can only artificially restrict demand for so long, in the digital world, and that boat sailed for Ghibli productions a long time ago.

IMHO making the movies easier to distribute wouldn't impact the quality of presentation or remove the space for artistic and sentimental engagement with the material. The fact that mainstream movies are on dvd and streaming did not destroy the market for film festivals - the opposite is probably true, in fact.

One can go about "not being greedy" and enhancing experience of the material without being precious for preciousness' sake.
The value add is discovery.

Since many meet already be on meetup.com, they then discover another meetup which also might suit them. All these alternatives might have the functionality that meetup does, but none of them provide exposure.

> Well, that's exactly the job of competent package managers, to make sure that packages fully stated their dependencies (so that the package manager would forbid you from getting into an illegal state wherein a required dependency was not installed or the wrong version of the dependency was installed), and installed correctly according to the LFHS so that there would be no conflicts.

Package managers are an over-engineered solution to a problem that only really exists if you rely on package managers. Ever had your apt database break on you? It's a joy, let me tell you. Nothing ever gets installed or removed again. Blowing up your system and requiring your OS to be reinstalled is ridiculous. Especially since that was a problem that didn't even used to exist. OSs were once stored on roms.

> /opt isn't new. Plenty of people decided that they could throw everything into a folder under /opt, including copies of all dependencies, with no references outside of that folder, and that would be enough.

Sure, as long as you never move it from opt. UNIX devs' addiction to hard-coding fixed paths is difficult to break.

> And it might have been enough if it wasn't for sysadmins in charge of uptime tearing their beards out over /opt constantly filling up and causing multi-product outages when it did.

Is that really a problem outside of Linux, which famously defined its base-system as "the kernel" and therefore necessitated that any such install would need to bring along all its own dependencies because it couldn't rely on anything existing except the kernel?

> Of course, today, with the price of resources having crashed through the floor, and containerization having more or less reached maturity, this is all more or less an academic, historical, moot point. But dynamically linked libraries weren't stupid, they were an artifact of an age where statically linking libraries was horrendously uneconomical and the idea of namespacing anything was enough to get laughed out of the room by people wondering how you would expect to pay for any of it.

Yet we still live with this bullshit today anyway and the Linux community especially eschews any attempt to move on. This despite some of the same people who created UNIX creating Plan 9, which rejected dynamically linking and embraced namespacing over twenty years ago!

> Amazon is a slightly annoying company that I rarely root for, but Oracle is a predatory company

Amazon and Oracle couldn't be more different in this point of view.

Amazon's predatory instincts are pointed inwards and downwards, towards employees and vendors, while being mostly great towards the customer.

Everything from their warehouse workers with timers, the crying software engineers and all other things I hear about them are about running an internally facing extraction economy.

The squeeze is being put on those who draw a paycheck (or at least, a profit) from Amazon, while the consumers see instant access servers on EC2, Amazon Go for lunch breaks in a city or One hour shipping of diapers.

In comparison, Oracle seems to be going after those who pay them already.

Who cares about average salary?

The two most popular post-mba paths are investment banking and consulting, I know exactly what the post-mba IB comp is:

1st full year associate: 150k base, 70-100% bonus

VP comp is easily above 400k

Consultants make $165k+ base with slightly smaller bonuses out of school

The numbers schools put out are not contextualized. The high paying roles out of the top ~20 MBA programs command total comp that is almost totally unacheivable as an employee, even in tech, especially if you don't want to count on equity appreciation.
They're contracts, so generally contract law. Although such contracts would have to be careful to not run afoul of employment laws, or laws against slavery.

It seems income sharing agreements typically include clauses which mitigate their risk of becoming invalid as voluntary slavery, such as limited time, a minimum income threshold, and buyout options. They could also be structured as a debt, with a payment structure based on income. Potentially bankruptcy law would affect their interpretation also.
And the thing of it is, he's got a pretty good point. Just look at what happened to music as its distribution format became more ephemeral. 40 years ago, record albums were among many peoples' most treasured possessions. Now music is just a slurry that gets piped to us 24/7, songs from different artists all mixed together into a tasteless, formless stream. We lost the emotional connection when we lost having an artifact to hang it on.

@airstrike is pretty on point, but here's some more.

A private business is always shareholder centric. Anything else would be schizophrenic. Non-profits and government organisations are different, but thinking that people start a business NOT because they want to earn money is insane.

What you are talking about is the agency problem where CEOs manipulate financials of a company to reach their bonus targets. That's only possible for public traded companies and it's a well-known problem in organisational behaviour. Thing is, there is no connection with an MBA degree. It would be great if people needed an MBA before they would be corrupted by power, but unfortunately it's not the case.

Taleb's critique is pretty deep. This will take me a while to parse through.

One thing he tackles that I think is worth digging into is his approach to the claim IQ is psychology's "best measure".

First, I think he does the only logical thing you can do after you dismiss IQ, he dismissed the rest of psychology. However bad (or good) you think IQ, the rest of psychology is worse.

Second, he makes the point that "no measure is worse than a bad measure". I'm not entirely convinced. I mean yes, if you have a measure that only predicts (for example) 30% of the variance in some phenomenon and you treat it as if it explains 100%, then you're going to have a bad time[1]. However, if you recognize the limitations and you combine that with other measures, then you may have a chance at making reasonable predictions.

IQ may be the best psychology has to offer, but that doesn't mean it has to be used alone. And it's true that much of psychology is suffering from a reproducibility crisis, but that does not mean all parts of psychology are suffering equally.

[1] I think there's an interesting connection between this idea and the idea of legibility as touched on in the book Seeing like a State.
>a massive engineering fail

It's not the infotainment part that causes the failure, though. It's the firmware flash chip which happens to be in the same board as the infotainment array. It's not like the radio breaking would cause the car to stop working. Again, this is more akin to the transmission going out. It's just easy to make this sound like an engineering failure because of that. It's similar to saying that the new Google Pixel has a "massive engineering failure" because the "Ok, Google" voice assistant breaks. It's disingenuous to say that because all that happens on the security module. You wouldn't want someone to have access to your phone if the security module breaks but, if that breaks, it also breaks the voice assistant functionality. This phrasing makes it sound like a fault in the voice assistant can block access to the entire phone which is intentionally misleading.
Well, in addition to cultural differences, being hourly vs. being salaried is a big difference. I am salaried. I don't clock in and out. I'm just expected to be there during business hours, which don't change if I work through my lunch hour. Eating quickly at my desk just donates my "free" lunch hour time to my employer. You don't get anything back for that lunch hour donation in many salaried jobs (at least in the USA).
A few weeks back I was at a program synthesis conference and gave a short lightning talk where I said deep learning so far has been used to solve the easy computer chess, and the easy computer go, etc...not to take away from those accomplishments at all, I was just saying that having a robot beat grandmasters at real world physics chess where you have to move the pieces with many degrees of freedom is a harder problem, but trivial for a 7 year old.

I thought we were still a decade away from having machines beat humans at real chess and real go, but this makes me think maybes it’s just 5 years out. Very impressive.
The risk of MCAS was identified in the system safety analysis (SSA), but they didn't appear to do a thorough job (in hindsight, at least). The biggest mistake to me seems to be the erroneous severity attribute:

We'll see what happens in the long run. With advances in smartphones and computational photography, interchangeable lens cameras increasingly look like a niche. And the big camera makers have been really slow to do anything other than incrementally tweak their bodies.

Clearly, they'll still be the go tos for pros and advanced amateurs for a long time but that's barely a mass market.

Sony did successfully use digital to become a respected camera maker--and they still have some of the best cameras in their category today. But, by and large, the traditional consumer electronics companies focused on point and shoots, which have been almost totally erased by phones.
I think that they're just using Marlin, a lot of the work is done for them.
To answer your question in a very simple way:

I only tested it on a few devices, but I saw the speed drop on my PC, work laptop(a dell), two iPhones, and a PS4. Only device that I couldn't get to drop speed was my iPad. I literally spent multiple evenings for 2-3 weeks running as many tests as I could and was never able to pinpoint it to anything specific.

During my tests, I found a few reddit posts of people experiencing a similar issue. A few people were linking the issue to a firmware update around November/December of 2018, but I couldn't verify since I bought by Wifi device around February of 2019.

The top camera makers, Nikon and Canon, were top camera makers before digital. Smartphones killed the compact cameras market that had the most companies and the survivors are the ones that had successful interchangable lens systems or were able to pivot to mirrorless.

Sony is the other currently successful camera maker. They bought Konica-Minolta, and made the switch to mirrorless early. Most importantly, they manufacture the best sensors that everyone else except for Canon uses.

Most of the current digital camera brands were analog camera makers. Panasonic is the exception and they partnered with Leica.
> it is unlikely for stuff to stay up reliably, as ironic as that is

A lot of good it does, when more and more states are requiring fingerprints to get a driver's license. The various governments want the data, and are simply taking it from a progressively-larger set of people. It's obviously not equal in severity, but the "First they came..." poem certainly applies here. They are simply rolling this out in stages: first in the most "sensitive" spots, such as airports. Then it will be most federal buildings, or other "high-security" locations. Then it will be routine.

I am proposing that the newly printed money from central banks causes deflation not inflation. Newly printed money flows to automation which lowers consumer prices. Traditional central banks say that newly created money goes to wage inflation but that is not fully true. Further we have globalization which again lowers consumer prices and newly created local money by central banks does not effect foreign wages.

"Under this policy approach the target is to keep inflation, under a particular definition such as the Consumer Price Index, within a desired range.

The inflation target is achieved through periodic adjustments to the central bank interest rate target. The interest rate used is generally the overnight rate at which banks lend to each other overnight for cash flow purposes. Depending on the country this particular interest rate might be called the cash rate or something similar."
