Singapore is fairly authoritarian and they've had outsized success going from third world to first.

I think the root cause is pretty simple: having no checks and balances lets you move faster, no matter what direction (either up or down), and it's a lot easier to mess things up than it is to do everything right.

I think these sorts of pushes can only gain traction in a country with a very extensive welfare system. Hard to imagine this working in the US, for example. People would simply figure out a way to work more in order to get ahead and compete with others. Seems to me that a more socialist form of government is a required backdrop for this to mean anything.

My solution would be to hire an estate sale company, who will bring in a team to inventory every item in the house while selling it off to the general public. Give them instructions to sell off everything except Kindle readers. By the end of the week you will have a clean, empty house except for one pile of Kindle readers. Problem solved!

Moxie / signal chooses pragmatism over purity, and is striving towards improve the status quo bit by bit vs a pure perfect solution that never ships, even though that improvement has it's own vital problems.

You can see it in his choices, and you can see how they want to eventually deliver improvements like no phone numbers, with them working on things like secure value recovery.

I kind of wish he spelled it out fully for the nit picky peanut gallery out there, so he can just reference it instead of wasting energy on them. You can just feel the exasperation when you read his writing and see him speak about this.

The main driver for Pulsar is that we have a number of different messaging use cases, some more "pub/sub" like and some that are more "log" like. Pulsar really does unify those two worlds while also being a ton more flexible than any hosted options.

For example, Kinesis is really limiting with the limited retention and making it very difficult to do any real ordering at scale due to the really tiny size of each shard.

Similarly, SQS does pub/sub well, but we keep finding that we do need to use the data more than the first initial delivery. Instead of having multiple systems where we store that data we have one.

As for why we didn't go with Kafka, the biggest single reason is that Pulsar is easier operationally with no needing to re-balance and also with the awesome feature that is tiered storage via offloading that allows us to actually do topics that have unlimited retention. Perhaps more importantly for the adoption though is pub/sub is much easier with Pulsar and the API is just much easier to reason about for developers than all the complexity of consumer groups, etc. There are a ton of other nice things like being able to have topics be so cheap such that we can have hundred of thousands and all of the built-in multi-tenancy features, geo-replication, flexible ACL system, pulsar functions and pulsar IO and many other things that really have us excited about all the capabilities

Why would a person who is willing to work extra being paid extra matter, regardless if they normally would work 8 hours or 6?
some swinocide
Definitely for some but people today work every weekend and overtime as much as they can but -most- people clock out and live their lives. Your argument is basically “why give people Saturday off, they’ll just work more!” Which is not the one I think you are consciously proposing but it’s effectively the same. Most people don’t want to work more at their jobs and would gladly take extra time to do their own stuff for the same pay.

The irony is that this example showcases an Achilles Heel of decentralized services — an inability to moderate toxic and/or illegal content — which gives power to everyone who would make all decentralized services illegal.

It’s almost as annoying as most news sites that have the headline, which is the same headline you already clicked on from google news or their homepage, then the subtitle which reiterates the headline. Then an image with a caption that is pretty much the same as the headline. Then the first line of the story which is also mostly the headline and then usually another repetition in the first paragraph.

Followed by a story which contradicts the headline, revealing the whole thing to just be click bait.

But this isn't at all an example of "premature optimization". There was a well-defined, long-term issue they were having, and someone fired up a profiler, and showed that a particular change had a massive impact. That's exactly the opposite of "premature optimization".

I think most people tend to anthropomorphize the company and expect such issues would be solved "human to human". So they hesitate to escalate them into a war, which lawyering up first and asking questions later tends to do. In reality a company acts less like a human and more like a machine programmed to finish any fight in one blow and minimize exposure. Any "unfairness" is spread among too many people to burden their conscience, they do it for the company.

I saw Moxie Marlinspike's talk when it was posted on CCC's official channel [1] and was disgusted by it. The talk has been now censored and video was made private. It was one of the most defeatist talks I've ever come across when it comes to messaging and privacy. His message was basically that anything you do is pointless and that his and WhatsApp/Facebook's way is the right one.

I've used Signal on few occasions in the past but his talk made me uninstall it. I simply do not trust him after hearing his opinions. I do not support centralization and other ideals he's now pushing (including the use of a phone number as Signal's primary ID).

The talk was mirrored on few channels on YT [2] and you can still see it.

It doesn't mean this is the only thing they're working on. Nevertheless it is a fact that they're not working on solving the underlying problem. They are working on marginally better traps that don't actually reduce the population effectively.

Why is it bad if someone wants to work more? It just lowers the baseline amount of work required from everyone, it doesn't cap it for someone who is diligenter than average.
The idea is that it's the most basic example (in most instances) of ensuring your whole pipeline is setup correctly. It's the software equivalent of a smoke test.
It was a small scale experiment and is not the norm in Sweden
sounds like it was a very limited pilot, not a country-wide initiative.
I care less about workday length than the number of work days. 4 day workweeks make much more sense. At least in the workplaces I've been in Friday is already this no man's land of a day where people phone it in or work from home as is.

>Laws are passed all of the time that recognize that children aren’t capable of making the same decisions as consenting adults.

Well yes, but it shows that concepts such as "Laws should only be passed when you’re harming someone else." have some variability in how we define harming someone else. So while many people agree with your example, many people also agree with the idea that employing someone for $1/hour is harming them enough that we ban it. Less people agree (I assume), but enough to get laws passed. It shows even given the above standard, reasonable people can disagree resulting in quite different takes on what laws are justified.

>If you run a retail shop and see that a parent is spending money frivolously and not feeding their kids are you morally obligated to not sell the item to them? There are so many things that parents can spend money on and not take care of their kids that can be argued about anything.

So we thus see there are difference between engaging in behavior (that the majority believes) harms the child directly and engaging in behavior that harms the child indirectly. Is that difference enough to justify a law in one case but not the other? That's another case where reasonable people can disagree and result in quite different views as to what laws are justified.

>and let adults make their own decisions.

Well, a significant portion enough to change the laws did just recently decide that not all adults are allowed to make such decisions. Once again where reasonable people can, following the original logic, come up with vastly different laws that are justified.

My point was that such a standard is ineffective in limiting the scope of laws because of how much of such a standard is left open to interpretation.

I was intrigued by VR so I picked up the Oculus Go. It was interesting, but felt lacking. I wasn't disappointed but the whole experience felt pretty meh.

For Christmas I thought I'd test the upgrade and purchased an Oculus Quest. Wow, this thing blew me away. The experience is night and day different, so much so that I stuck my Go in the closet and may be selling it down the road. Having two controllers, hand tracking, Oculus Link if you have a gaming PC, overall improvements to display and battery, and of course 6 DOF. I've never been more excited about VR.

The Quest really is an incredible unit. I've so far been able to:

- Play "native" Quest games which have been very fun

- Play PCVR (SteamVR) games using ALVR[0] over
5ghz WiFi with great performance

- Sideloaded RetroArch[1] to play N64, SNES, Gameboy
and GameCube games with a bluetooth controller

- Watching full length movies in a cinema-like experience

- Enjoying many 360 videos on YouTube

I'm contemplating doing some game development in VR again. I tried to build some applications on my Go but the single controller and weak specs really hindered my creativity.

I implore you to test out the Quest if you found the Go experience lacking as I did, it's really more than a minor upgrade.

Something that puzzles me is that any time progressive policies are being pushed through in not-USA, & someone references it in a USA policy discussion, there's a blanket "That wouldn't work here, we have 300 million people.." even in conversations where the policy should benefit from economies of scale (pharma). The main defense should be that there's a lot of unpopulated land which requires maintenance (highways). Of course, this issue applies to Canada as well, which is able to support more progressive policies

Biggest thing is that we find ourselves needing to retain this data for more than initial delivery and also for use cases where we want to use the data more like a log and need ordering guarantees. It isn't just our current SQS use cases, it is being able to have one tech that does SQS like stuff and Kinesis like stuff in one place
