The contents of the blog post and video are different things, the blog post isn't just reiterating the video, but talks about how the technology looks outdated but the design of the home still looks timeless (at least in the author's opinion).
Cool idea and nice video explaining the project! As it's described it seems like I would be able to create one record for a real person and add multiple links if they have more than one URL I want to follow. But it looks like I have to create one "follow" per URL. What are your thoughts about grouping "follows" that belong to the same person? Should the top-level model in the user interface be real people that you want to keep up with or URLs that you want to keep up with?
When the stock vested at IPO sometime earlier this year, he had to pay at least 30% taxes on it - in the US. That is not money he could have had without actually selling some. No?

This is a serious question, so I'm not understanding the downvotes.

When the company i worked for IPO'd I had to pay taxes on the stock when the paper money turned into real money.
Throwaway for obvious reasons, apologies.

FWIW, I kno(e)w four billionaires through my work (one deceased, one I lost contact with), and their life is not at all like described here, though they could afford that and more they keep a pretty low profile and you likely have never heard of them, and likely never will. But the 'controlling interest in a company you've likely heard about' is a common factor for three of those four.

The people that throw money around as if there is no tomorrow are typically the ones that have an unhealthy urge to be recognized as wealthy, the really wealthy people are relatively quiet about it in comparison.

That may of course be a reflection of the group of people that person connected to, I can see how there are very different circles of wealthy people just as there are different circles of people that are not wealthy.
You keep pushing the blame on the government shutdown.

It's possible it worked that way in the past, but it's certainly not the case now.

If disputed within five days, all revenue is escrowed until resolution. And content ID claims can be easily disputed and must be turned into a DMCA claim if not withdrawn.

Yup. In addition to JavaScript runtimes that have added WebAssembly support, such as Node, there are dedicated WebAssembly runtimes, like wasmtime: https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime

If you want to provide a plugin or extension interface, and want to give those plugins a limited interface rather than making them all-powerful, embedding a WebAssembly runtime gives you all of that plus the ability for people to easily write plugins in any language.

Also see https://hacks.mozilla.org/2019/08/webassembly-interface-type... for an illustrated description of how that'll work smoothly across languages.
I'm currently building a brand new house and we've opted to forego most of the current home automation solutions. While they may have ushered in many of the promises of the past, they are locked in and difficult to service. Instead we are installing standard z-wave controllable switches/dimmers and standard programmable locks/thermostats, etc.

In the end if we really want automation we can use HomeKit or Alexa, although inviting Amazon/Alexa in to our home is a bit contentious.
I think the implication is if there is a security breech at their end, someone could hijack the service to point IPv6 addresses to somewhere unexpected.

If it's only used in development, it's not too big a deal, but could still be use to compromise things.
SpaceX plans to use spaceships for Earth passenger transit (2017)
Within a company, levels codify the hierarchy, scope & responsibility of employees. The question we try to answer with our mapping is: "If an employee at company X were to switch to company Y, which level would they come in at?". The answer then is: what is the equivalent scope / responsibility across companies. There's several other factors (company size, interview performance, etc) that go into actual leveling when you switch companies and thus we really emphasize that this is a rough guide. I think we've settled on something that's generally agreeable for most folks. We constantly take feedback though and adjust based on what we hear from users switching between companies.
Bitcoin isn't used for anything except to transfer dollars from regular buyers to miners and/or large early adopters.
Judging by how keen they are to never adopt anything ever written by anyone else, I think it is precisely the opposite. They have a "not invented here" syndrome that causes them to keep hold of everything they create to be in full control of it. It makes sense commercially. Examples:
a. Swift language - they could have just used C# but decided to create Swift to force yet another generation of developers to learn the language only used by Apple (same as Objective C)
b. Their chips on their phones / iPads
c. The soldered-on SSDs on their laptops instead of user-replaceable items
d. APFS - their "new" filesystem is still lightyears behind NTFS in terms of features - why didn't they adopt NTFS instead???

Heck, even sharing files from your Mac to your Apple TV needs Apple's blessing before it'll AirPlay to it (via iTunes, not sure on whatever they're using now).

They will never ever ever ever adopt the Linux kernel.
>There’s a very good reason why we came off the so-called Gold Standard (bimetallic standard, actually), and why coming off it heralded the greatest period of economic growth in Western history.

How sure are we that this was a good idea in the long run? Politicians and their appointees aren't always the most responsible people. If it's possible for them to obfuscate some of their spending without upsetting people then we could end up with quite a surprise later. The US already has a big debt problem. I get where you're coming from, but I'm just not sure whether we know the long-term consequences of this.

It’s not just executing code in the browser. It’s been a while since I’ve watched the video but its more about JavaScript becoming the universal assembly language. I think at least that aspect is wrong because Wasm came into existence. But ignoring that detail and subbing in Wasm for JS, it’s uncanny.

This doesn't always work, see HPE vs Autonomy. That case is incredibly interesting for an insight into how idiotic and lazy execs can be. Usually though, it works out for them, probably by luck. Would be, err, "interesting" if there were more Mike Lynch around to provide similar insight (Autonomy's CEO). Then again, the case is interesting as HPE was willing to litigate, and a certain British tech news outlet picked it up.

Because the people with data to prove this are themselves economists. Yes, economics has had a lot of failures (I often find myself informing people of these) but anything you replace it with is ultimately going to be another form of economics.

For every successful business leader you could probably find 100 who failed: taking your guidance from business leaders just leads to survivorship bias.

"It is no longer safe to have two standard drinks a day". Dear Australian health officials. Nothing has changed. It has never been safe to have two standard drinks a day.

It's inconceivable to me how anyone but the most uninformed could have ever thought that something that melts your liver would be safe in any concentration. For decades I've rolled my eyes at the "one glass of wine a day" or whatever phrase was used in the current era.
Yes this and it is also much harder to switch off a heavy DC load than an AC one. Once current starts flowing in DC and you try to open a switch, an arc will form that never gets extinguished since the voltage doesn't cross 0 like it does in AC. Hence why switches are always significantly derated for DC versus AC.
Does anyone have any good success stories with WebAssembly in the actual context of using it on the web? That list of testimonials doesn't seem very inspiring as to whether or not the standard has seen actual production usage to justify being a recommended standard...
Someone please correct my impression here, but why aren't both macro- and micro-econ viewed as a largely academic ideal that completely ignores many realities of human civiliation?

I'm thinking specifically of malice and manipulation, at all levels of all systems: if there is a way to enrich (ie steal), motivation is towards it happening and towards weakening rules and oversight. For example, who wants to quibble over peanuts like $1T federal deficits or $10T NASDAQ total caps when there are $370T tied to the LIBOR, which has a big fat steering wheel on it? Your econ textbook doesn't have a nice chart for that.

The volatility of bitcoin has nothing to do with its eventual theoretical maximum (and therefore extremely long-term contraction, as the theoretical maximum will be subject to corruption, loss, and so forth).

The volatility of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies (or more accurately, crypto-assets) is due to their extremely shallow markets and unpredictable volumes.
Such hate for JavaScript. To say JS needs to lose for you to win says more about you than it does JS. Just a thought. I see a world where there are many winners and one where WASM and JS and whatever you want can fulfill their need where needed.
I took a brief look and these planes are unpressurized.

This is opposite of the typical cargo planes, which often are older passenger planes or derived types that still have cabin pressurization.

It depends on what you're delivering. For the large airplane parts they are designed for, pressurization isn't needed.
For people who make their livelihood through YT disputing a claim can be quite dangerous - the brand that you're maintaining (so many subscribers following such and such a name) can easily evaporate if the account is banned - then you need to build it all back up from scratch.

Yea, you're in the right, and yea, that absolutely sucks - but that's the way YT works right now, in part due to the hilariously terrible DMCA but also due to internal policies to minimize costs.

YT doesn't care if you get banned (unless you're going to lose them a bunch of eyeballs) so they're not going to defend you - and how much money do you think most content creators have to throw around in lawsuits against big corporations?

The computer automates mistakes.
The BLS is completely nuts with computing CPI. What the previous poster is referring to is called "hedonic adjustment" [1]. For example, the CPI contains a TV, and adjusts its price [2]. As an example, say that you put a 19" CRT TV in there in the 1980's, and it cost $400 at the time. Over time, as televisions got better, and it became impossible to buy that specific TV, the BLS started adjusting the price of the original tv down, because it's clearly inferior to anything available today. At the end of those adjustments, you end up with a situation where the TV may "cost" $100 post-adjustment, but it's impossible to buy any $100 TV today because that would be the price of something which doesn't exist. This type of adjustment happens in many categories, and it biases the CPI downwards. It's a giant sham.

That's a poor comparison - just because the universe is amoral, doesn't mean we have to be. There's two parallel paths that I see people confuse all the time, that of how the world is (truth) and how we should be (good). Nietzsche is interesting for talking about truth, not necessarily good. Practical philosophy is just telling you what is good, and so far I haven't seen a moral framework that is competent at that. Especially utilitarianism. Partly because I think the idea of a moral framework is reductionist, but this isn't the right place, nor perhaps you the right counterparty, for me to lay out my issues with reductionism.

Tldr: yes I think Rand is a poor moral philosopher too.

Their theory may work but I understand it's predicated on having control of a global reserve currency and being able to dynamically change income tax rates (and all tax rates?) on a daily basis. This is not possible so the theory can't be tested.

> Interestingly, the MAX is a completely new aircraft.

For some value of 'completely new.' The design isn't new. A new design would accommodate modern, large diameter high by-pass turbo fans without compromising pitch behavior. The 737 was designed to be powered by much smaller diameter low-bypass engines that prevailed in the 60's.

Also, the cockpit is deliberately designed not to require changes in training; the now ancient controls and instruments are significant contributors to the 737 MAX problems.

I used the term 'design' several times because I do indeed understand there is much new in the 737 MAX, but the fundamental design is obsolescent.
Fun fact - the most popular subject for debates in the original Coursera course "How to Reason and Argue" was diet. We've got a lively debate going here in the comments below - bravo!

I myself am most interested in what medical doctors (MD's) have to say about the question of plant-based diets, with reference to peer reviewed scientific journal articles. On the one hand, we've got high-profile MD's such as Dean Ornish, Caldwell Esselstyn, Michael Greger, Neal Barnard, Joel Fuhrman, James Lomis and Matthew Lederman arguing for the benefits of a plant-based diet. Can someone provide links to MD's who take an opposing view?

No, you would still have to provide an application programming interface for every target language you want to support.
Uber, Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon all are present. What’s clearly wrong or at least misleading about this data is that they represent only a small fraction of the tech workforce in pgh. Other than Uber and Google these are only small offices. They also happen to be some higher paying jobs within those organizations. The reality is that most tech people in Pittsburgh are looking at jobs at UPMC, PNC, NetApp or a handful of smaller companies and poorly funded startups, few of which pay particularly well nor have worthwhile equity comp even relative to the low COL small markets.

This 170k median doesn’t fit with other stats available, and is only true if your sample is limited to FAANG and unicorns, which exists, but is small in Pittsburgh.
They would be remiss not to include this when making a statement about total compensation.

>The worst part about them is that now people think that Freud's bullshit was right.

Freud used to get a lot of attention, and now he doesn't - mostly because of his treatment by Popper, a treatment that has been refuted several times over. I'm not saying Freud is unassailable, but to say he's so useless as to not be used is ridiculous. There's much more to Freud than the Oedipus complex.

>Deleuze killed himself. Althusser killed his wife. All of them hurt future psychiatry with their nonsense.

This is a very uncharitable treatment of the authors (it's unclear why their personal problems have anything to do with their work; name me an author less saintly than Tolstoy or Spinoza and I'll find words to hang them), and the fact that nobody really practices psychoanalysis based on Deleuze, and Althusser wasn't even in the same camp. My point was that it's wrong to paint every French scholar of the 60s, 70s and 80s with the same brush. The actual legacy of Deleuze in psychiatry is nil. His legacy in psychoanalysis is slightly more than nil.

I’m not sure I understand the advantage of having a GC in WASM. I wouldn’t expect any languages to use it (because GCs tend to be tightly coupled to a particular language—for example, go’s GC requires careful coordination between the GC and the scheduler—and any sufficiently general GC would presumably give up too much performance).

LLVM has an interface for GCs such that the host language can provide LLVM with information about what kind of code to generate at the boundary between the application and the GC, but that’s just shim code; not a full GC implementation, and even then I’m not sure of any languages that make use of it.

Even still, it’s cool to see the WASM folks trying to tackle these big tricky problems!
I belive you but could you elaborate for those who don't know what you mean? :)

One could still ask the question, though.

The way that coding language and deployment/executable language have been tied together (JS for both) has served as a force that pushed everyone toward that single language.

Now that WebAssembly promises to remove that force, will it be a free-for-all, or will other forces push toward standardization on a few languages? And if so, what will those forces be?
My take.

For a long time CNN was the "School Shooting Channel" and the "MH370 Channel"; call it bias or not, but it was definitely focused on things that seemed to get a certain kind of person watching while biting their nails.

Then Trump started running for president and CNN discovered that he was good for ratings, and surprising to them, Bernie Sanders was too.

Trump was very good for CNN's ratings because for once you might watch CNN and expect Trump to say absolutely insane. Then once he got elected it was like every day was September 11.

(One might say that CNN felt guilty for giving Trump so much attention that it led to his election. Contrast that to the very little coverage Bloomberg is getting despite a stupendous ad spend... I think the media wants to give him a chance to walk that one back!)

What's great about it for them is that they can just sit in their Washington, DC and Atlanta headquarters and rap and not have to invest in travel, journalism, or anything inconvenient like that.

So I think that CNN made a definite transition when Trump got elected.
> Technology should require the smallest possible amount of attention

The challenge — and I believe this is one of the fundamental challenges of the Information Age — is that the business model of most companies making tech today is that user attention funds the development of the technology.

Every ad-driven business rests on this trade: We give you software X and in return you give Y% fraction of your attention. We sell that attention to company Z which pays us in cash.

Tech from these companies cannot reduce the amount of attention the software consumes without directly affecting their bottom line and their ability to deliver tech to users in the first place.
