I consider this new tool being promoted here (Adapt) to be in a similar space to Pulumi (https://www.pulumi.com) which allows for using full featured imperative programming languages for defining infrastructure. The key idea is that the writer can do anything in the code (unless sandboxed) but must return a data structure that will then be passed to the a system to actually orchestrate the cloud provider APIs for you. I can see some potential of using react features for IaC, like leveraging lifecyle hooks for state changes and the React Context API for threading state deep into subtrees of the data structure.

I was attracted to this style of IaC for awhile as I had my own frustrations with the current 'YAML Engineering' that we have to do. After looking at the space I am bullish on CUE (https://cuelang.org/docs/about/) for IaC. There are some points that these imperative-declarative systems still do not address that are critical for IaC:

- Data validation and constraints. A config should be a structure of fields and what types they should be. If needed they can be further specified into concrete types. In CUE, types are values and multiple field definitions are unified to their most concrete type. For example, if `a: >5` and `a: <10` and `a:7` would unify to`a:7`. `a:11` would not be a valid unfication.

- Deep nested configuration: Configuration are a tree structure that can have values that need to be overridden deep in the structure. Imperative languages rely on functions for abstraction, but that is fragile as you need to basically expose every field as a function parameter at some point. CUE does not have functions but instead relies and templates, constraints, and easy overriding of values deep in the tree to achieve a similar effect.

- External data injection: Most configuration systems need to be able to inject data into the environment to be evaluated at runtime. This usually requires wrapping the tool in another tool in a fragile way. CUE has a scripting layer to allow injecting data into the execution environment without wrapping.
How many of the 0.01% inherited their wealth, and how many have made it? Do you have any sources for that? Most people on Fortune 500 list, for example, didn't inherit any significant part of their wealth.
The good ones are making that when you account for compensation, perks, and stock grants.

This isn't unusual at all for top talent.
> Do you see how that could easily be interpreted as sexist? It doesn't take much of a leap for people to hear the non-sexist "woman don't do this" as the sexist "women can't do this". You need to be able to articulate why you belong in that first camp or else everyone will just write you off as being in the second.

Here you've identified the actual problem, which is people hearing "don't do this" as "can't do this". I.e. people failing to apply their brains to a basic comprehension task. If we're to levy accusations of "-ism", then I'd call promoting this behavior as anti-intellectualism, or being pro-stupidity.
> The typical way to add CAN to a raspberry pi is an MCP2515 chip. The linux driver for the MCP2515 can barely service the chip fast enough though, which means it tends to drop data at the higher bitrates.

This isn't always the fault of the driver. The MCP2515 is just a kind of crappy controller and has lots of bugs in spite of how much it's used. Even on a Beaglebone (which doesn't struggle to keep up), the MCP2515s are somewhat suspect.

The Beaglebones have a CAN controller on board, so all you need to do is hook up a CAN transceiver and you're good to go. (Being able to use Wireshark to debug CAN is really quite a nice change over most nasty CAN tools ...) And because the controller is part of the silicon, it's really fast.

I don't think it's that extreme. There are quite a few people who deny that being gay is real, and is just a mental illness that can be fixed. I would say that sexual orientation is a big part of a person's identity. It might not be "existence" in the strictest sense of the word, but it's certainly not hyperbole either.

Regardless, if you don't like it, remove that phrase from your reading; my point still stands without it.
I think your Edit example actually points to the root of the issue with these comparisons.

The first credit limit increase "from scratch" costs hundreds of billions of dollars in creating a system of legal compliance, accounting, communication, internal and external risk management, executive compensation, regulatory oversight, credit ratings, cybersecurity, salaries of millions of workers, building public trust in the credit system, writing and passing legislation, even Fed responsibility of building and maintaining a fiat currency.

The second credit limit increase once this system exists is essentially free.

To what extent do these costs need to be accounted for in creating an accurately comparable 'per transaction' metric? By replacing much of the logic with 'just math', Bitcoin has the potential for a much higher theoretical efficiency than the current banking system. Whether market penetration will ever reach the current banking systems levels - and function without replicating these same structures - is certainly highly debatable and for many of the above items implausible.

Bitcoin transactions in isolation are also essentially free - it's the maintenance of the system which keeps it secure and trustworthy that is expensive.
Power used can also be a function of energy costs. It costs go down by half, miners will be incentivized to increase mining capacity (else their competition will) and as a result presumably energy consumption will double.
You may not be able to be so forthcoming about the transition
Oh, does it? Does it accomplish all the speculation, all the drama going on? All the drug deals made with Bitcoin, all the kids that became rich out of nothing because they played with some obscure technology 10 years ago? I'm pretty sure you don't know everything Bitcoin accomplished (or maybe still does). Neither do I, nor anyone.

To be clear: if you ask my opinion on technical side of Bitcoin, I wouldn't be really praising it. But, as I said already, Bitcoin is not a technical thing. It is a very complicated sociocultural phenomena that definitely did achieve something. And you need to consider everything X is, to apply words such as "wasteful" to X.

Again, if this seems too abstract: if you are living in the USA, you are consuming twice more energy (per capita) than Japanese people, having lower life expectancy (both are far from the ends of the spectrum, BTW). So, the existence of USA citizens is wasteful.

Now, doesn't stripping down all the nuance of living different lives in different countries seem a bit outrageous to you? It surely does seem so to me.

How could you have a local optimum with random search? It's not doing any hill climbing or anything so it shouldn't care at all about local optima. Yes, of course you could get bad results if you specify the random search distributions with too strong of a prior pointing in the wrong direction, but we usually specify a weak prior (uniform/etc distributions) for doing random search. What random distribution did you use for your random search?

Anyways, if you had a bad random search prior, then that should have equally negatively impacted your random parameters as both should have been drawn from the same distribution. If you used a different random distribution for random search vs your "random parameters", why did you use a different distribution and why were they so different?
> watchtower reward can be built in to the revocation txn.

How much will watchtower rewards cost?

The economics aren't fully studied. But I'd expect a good watchtower would be proportional to the amount of the transaction. That is, if you wanted to protect a 100 BTC transaction, you'd want to spend more on the watchtower reward than if you wanted to protect a 1 BTC transaction.

Hypothetically, if you spend too little, the watchtower + your opponent can collude to effectively steal some of your money. (Ex: the Watchtower could be paid by your opponent to NOT send the revocation message).
It is the massive amount of space one car takes[1].

That is a legitimate concern, but the kind of photo you linked to that is often used in advocacy is horribly misleading.

In reality, if cyclists rode anything like that close together, there would be accidents all the time because no-one would be able to make turns or travel at different speeds. The general advice to drivers here in the UK is that you should allow as much space around a bike as you do when passing a car, and authorities have conducted public education campaigns on this and even prosecuted drivers for passing too close. From a safety point of view, that advice is clearly sensible, as passing too close to a cycle is quite dangerous, particularly at higher speeds. But you can't have it both ways by claiming cycling is safer and healthier with that sort of space allowance but also that cycling is as space-efficient as it appears stacking bikes up close together like that. In reality, a bike is much smaller than a car, but in terms of proportions, a bike plus adequate space around it is only a bit smaller than a car with adequate space around it.

Buses are similarly very misleading in that sort of photo. That is partly because unlike typical car journeys they follow circuitous routes that may be 2-3x as far and as slow to get a single passenger from (somewhere near) A to (somewhere near) B. It's also because unless you're looking at an area with very high population density or very high usage routes/times, most buses don't travel anything like fully loaded but still take up the extra space whether they have 50 passengers, 20 passengers or none at all. If you're going to show a full-size car for each individual travelling, as these photos invariably do, why do they always show a single bus at exactly its maximum capacity? If you showed both at average occupancy levels, the photo would look very different.

This is without getting into the traffic modelling where you find uniform traffic speeds are much more efficient, but while cars can achieve something close to that on clear roads, it is heavily disrupted by both relatively slow-moving cycles that you might not be able to overtake and stop-start buses that might block a traffic lane while allowing passengers on and off.

There are very practical questions to be asked about why we still drive around in vehicles with space for 4-5 people and luggage capacity for going on a two week holiday even if we're travelling alone and lightly loaded, but a lot of the anti-car arguments made by pro-cycle and particularly pro-bus advocates using the kind of photo linked above are rather disingenuous.
>But no one who wants to succeed dares bring that up.

Nor should they. The pursuit of equality has been replaced with a demand for equity and the talking heads espousing this demand have become sufficiently skilled at publicly shaming companies and individuals that leaders have decided that acquiescing and silently taking on the bill involved in prioritizing in-office demographic makeup over all else rather than ending up on Vox & co. and being publicly tainted forever.

On an individual level, it is career suicide to go against the corporate narrative supporting the above, particularly when you consider that the most ardent supporters of the narrative are empowered to also have some of the most significant impact on your career (HR).
Haha, so naive. In a perfect economy, yes. In the real, world, in China. Good luck.
> We also have a bunch of reasons (protected classes) that a company cannot refuse to do business. Colorado specifically includes sexual orientation in their definition of protected classes.

I would absolutely support adding sexual orientation to that list in every state, or at the federal level. But if it's not there in the bakers' state, then, legally, they are (unfortunately) in the clear.

I don’t think that’s necessarily true. Wealth is not zero sum. It’s possible for one person to make a billion dollars of wealth without taking it from someone else (increase in stock price, leverage for investment, etc etc).

There are other factors to consider, mean wealth, median wealth, quality of life, etc.

I’d rather live in a hypothetical country with $1M of purchasing power where 1% had $1B than a hypothetical country with $500k where 1% had $1M.

High inequality does not mean low quality of life. Just take a look at the inequality of the US vs the inequality of third world countries. The US has higher inequality but also higher quality of life.
Perhaps they mean you should bake the pie in the tin, then transfer it to the baking dish.

Isn't that push exactly what's happening? The decision making power is still concentrated and many of original hires are still there so I'd imagine there's plenty of oversight and momentum involved in the company's direction. But the ongoing and increasing protests clearly show there's a change in attitude, or at least by a very vocal minority.
> you’d already have to hire pretty much all the same staff

This is terribly wrong. It's like saying you need as many people to setup Solr/ElasticSearch as you'd need to build a custom search engine.

It requires considerably fewer people to setup, manage, and optimize Algolia than it does to setup, manage, and optimize ES.

Personally I feel FaceID is a step backwards from fingerprint readers. It doesn't work as often for me (facial hair, hat, lighting, hoodie, and sometimes it's just finnicky) and there are privacy concerns. The fingerprint reader isn't perfect, but for me it was better. I can touch it while pulling the phone out of my pocket and it's unlocked when I open it.

You've got 10yrs exp, I'm guessing you're a strong senior engineer (which again, overloaded term, but IMO it means you can solve problems on your own and can unblock your teammates vs. block them) - I'd ballpark 175 -> 225. Go to a FAANG and you can stretch total comp up into the mid-250s.

If your skills and what's shiny in the market right now are all concentric, you can add 100k's on top. (Just left FB on the internal React team? Been on Netflix's recommendation model team? SRE working with core Kubernetes? Cha-ching!)
Speaking of which: Amazon (and ebay, too) had recently started using a UK-based service called Yodel.

Last time Yodel had delivered a parcel of $50 to my door (marking it as delivered), which obviously got stolen. You can’t call Yodel - their line is always busy, and the line is not a free number.

Yodel had done that regularly to me, but I could never contact them or do anything about my delivery, since their customer service is horrendous.

Is there any way to set it up in Amazon (or ebay, too) so that their fulfillment never uses a certain delivery brand?
i find it interesting that top 10%, 5%, 1% wealth are inversely proportional... 1 mil, 2mil, 10mil. Top 1%.

Interestingly, 0.1% 'only' owns $45mil, and 0.01% owns $111 mil. It sounds rare, until 1 out of 10,000 own $111 mil.
>In coastal cities, a two income household making 250k each is not absurd

I guess you would have to define the threshold of “absurd,” but It’s a pretty big deviation from the median in Los Angeles and New York, where the median incomes are between 60-65K. In SF, you’re talking two people both making more than double the median (about 110K)

Considering things like the cost of things like housing in these places, the inequality seems massive anyway you slice it.

I, as a user, and as an employee am going to refuse to do business with nazis or do business with people who do business again. It’s a free country and I’m allowed to do that, and companies like GitLab can do whatever they want with that information.

I’m not the only person like me, and they’re going to have a choice as to whether they want to do business with nazis or so business with people like me.

They don’t get to just wave their hands and make these sorts of decisions go disappear. They have to make a choice.

This is clearly not true - if you are making that much and are a constant (but not even especially frugal) saver you will have 10M by the time you retire. The top 1% includes people of all ages - including people collecting paychecks their whole life - not just people who are in their 30s.

Of course, in 20 years 10M will not mean as much, but nonetheless it is important to remember 20% of the population is at or near retirement age.

Interesting bit from the article:

> The top 1% earned 21% of the country’s income, and paid 38.5% of federal individual income taxes. The top 1% paid a greater share of income tax to the U.S. Treasury than the bottom 90% combined (29.9%).

"Whites only" signs are illegal discrimination. I suppose I should have said, "for whatever legal reason they choose". If the state wishes to make discrimination based on sexual orientation illegal -- which I would support! -- then obviously things go differently.

There are a couple cases being heard by the Supreme Court right now that are attempting to argue that discrimination against gay and transgender people is inherently discrimination based on sex (which is a protected class everywhere in the US); I'm very interested in how that turns out.
I think it's household, so maybe multiply by the number of average people in a household (say 2.6 is US average household size, so we can say 1 out of 26K owns $111m)?
