However, the network effect in tech can be leapfrogged due to the zero marginal cost (as shown in this post). I.e. what network effect do you get from doing ML inference in the cloud?

The case for big tech today is still the economy of scale and not network effects (maybe facebook have those, but it exists only if the interface to facebook does not change).

The big tech players have economy of scale, due to their ability to use automation and offload the risk of managing complexity (I.e. one AWS engineer can manager 1000's of machines with AWS software).

No wonder, that the software that manages the public cloud is still closed source.

However, with Kubernetes operators, there is a way to move those capabilities into any Kubernetes cluser.

If you are at risk of strikebreakers your union effort will fail (unless protected by law) because the strikebreakers will just take over your job.

When it would take some time to train the strikebreakers the union can work: give us our demands or spend far more training the strikebreakers.
1. Using revenue comparison is incorrect. Profit is more complicated because you have to add back in compensation (and if necessary be able to know when r&d comp is capitalized and be able to break out r&d versus sg&a if you only talking about comp for particular groups of employees) but it is the correct per-employee stat to compare.

2. Median employee salary is wrong, you should look at average salary if you are comparing it to an average (revenue) figure.

3. You should correct for benefits and taxes. I don't know what they are, but salary is only part of the cost of an employee.

I know you are trying to make a quick point, but FB has margins ~40% and all-in employee costs can be 50% higher than salary. Assuming the median comp is close to average, then it's possible FB is making appr. $700K or so per employee in profit and paying out appr. $300K which doesn't sound quite as bad.
Hunter-gatherers who made it to age 25 were just as likely to live to their 60s as modern folks are today. The 30 year old average life expectancy of Neolithic man comes from two things: one, we cannot properly age skeletal fossils to a degree of certainty after wisdom teeth have fully grown in. You can't tell from a 10k year old fossil if it was a 30 year old or a 55 year old at time of death.

Finally, infant mortality was extremely high and remained very high until modern medicine. These infant deaths decreased the average life expectancy but it masks the lifespan that healthy adults would typically experience.
Most do not get multi-million-dollar pay, hell a lot of people there barely make a living. The reason there is an union there is because a lot of those same people would work for free to get a chance at making it in the industry (interns don't get paid), that is highly exploitable.

First Earth-Size World in the 'Habitable Zone' Found
What I'd like to see is comparison and motivation relative to contour line maps, which are what I would consider the conventional way to show topography. I find these plots somewhat bizarre in comparison.

Are these joy plots more accessible to novice viewers somehow? To me, contour lines provide a very clear understanding of terrain but I admit I am pretty fluent in reading them. They bunch up to show steep slopes and cliffs, but give a much clearer sense of slope direction and more subtle topography like bowls, saddles, and stream beds.

I cannot really recall how I first experienced them as a novice. I was a child looking at USGS quadrant maps of the Sierra Nevada.

the scientific community has discussed this for some time. A lot of discussions I see on HN about this start from "let's understand this from de-novo first order principles". But to make rapid progress, scientists in these fields use evidence from many different sources rather than first order principles.

One of the interesting things that we've learned over the years, painfully and repeatedly, is that fairly simple encodings of fairly simple data can repeatedly generate extremely complex visible outcomes. A great example of this is patterning in animal fur- there isn't a section that encodes a pixel map of the resulting spots or their X/Y locations. INstead a collection of genes operate in a feedback loop to generate the patterns. Turing's theory of morphogenesis has turned out to be highly prescient application of very simply theories that does a good job of explaining observed patterning.

What I've seen repeatedly over the years is that the proteins themselves aren't that interesting- all the interesting complex repeatable phenotypes come from careful regulation of the expression of proteins with feedback loops and spatial gradients. The best work on this has been done in evo-devo field on model organisms (not humans). C Elegans was an exceptionally good choice for a model organism for many reasons, not the least of which is that every instead of the organism has exactly the same cells in exactly the same location, and that appears to be completely genetically encoded (again, not like a pixel map, but as generative rules).
No payment system will ever succeed unless someone can use it to purchase something from an unknown person, receive their good or service, be dissatisfied with the good or service, return the good or service, and then be assured of a refund from an unknown and untrusted actor.

Even with cash, in the vast majority of cases you physically hand over the cash to someone you can see at a location you can return to. In the event of a transaction for physical goods at least you have the good in hand, and in the event of services thanks to government regulations most expensive services require licenses so you can later find the person who failed to perform the service you paid for in cash to your satisfaction. Also, one can create an actual, literal, "paper trail" by requesting a physical receipt-- one that serves as evidence of the exchange and would ideally contain contact information.

With your un-named payment system, can I do a "charge back" if I order some totally legit good or service from an unknown actor in an unknown location in the event of the non-delivery or fraud?

Also, no payment system that requires an internet-connected device (and a powerful one at that if no third parties with the ability to store and process large amounts of transaction data are involved) will ever, ever, despite the protestations of its acolytes, between now and the heat death of the universe, ever be able to serve the unbanked.

That why with the IVL part of the proposal is a physical card that can be used, if a patron is poor and unbanked and does not have an internet-connected device, to transact with the ledger via a trusted intermediary.

I don't think anyone is arguing that you shouldn't freely associate. Facebook employees who want to collectively bargain should be allowed to. That's just free association. They just shouldn't be allowed to prevent other employees from not unionizing and working without the union.

And then, lots of people can choose not to unionize. Personally, I think few FBers will unionize.

And then perhaps you could negotiate percentage of gross revenue if you wanted. But they could choose not to give you that. So long as we have free association, that's fine.

Personally, I don't think "percent of gross" makes sense unless you're a founder and "percent of marginal gross" is near impossible to calculate so probably not that. I far prefer the market for labour and employment.

You know how people say "it's not that you can't find engineers; you can't find engineers at what you're willing to pay". Well, if you can find engineers, then all is well.

You are making seriously sweeping allegations, could you not? It's hard to have a serious discussion when someone goes generalizing 300 million people and all of their jobs.

>* No vacation.

>* No parental leave.

>* No sick leave.

All three of these are provided, I don't have a union.

>At-will-employment (which inherently causes massive under-reporting of things like sexual harassment in the workplace due to the fear of losing ones livelihood, and please spare me the "actually it's already illegal!", very few people are willing/capable of mounting a messy legal case on their own).

It's 2020, any allegation of sexual harassment is treated incredibly seriously across the board. Yea, I have no doubt it's a major headache. But an accusation of sexual harassment is a serious thing, it shouldn't be something we ever allow to be filled out anonymously, thrown in a complaint box, and assumed as true. It could lead to a firing and possibly criminal charges, lets not try and pretend that's not serious.

Part of why your comment bothers me so is that you are generalizing all Americans. The game industry may make sense to have a union, but you simply call out all Americans as being anti-union, as if it's something unfathomable. Different professions have different circumstances, not all of them need a union.

Why?

It is, it's just that everything returns a function! The topmost function will in the end be called with the json as an argument.

Check out these parts of the README:

(elem 0) returns a function which takes a JSON array as input and returns its first element.

JS perf on MCUs is bad. V8 relies on way too many x86 specific assumptions. This is why JS sucks so bad on anything, but top tier ARM socs. On an MCU things will be even worse.

For example, it is impossible to control how V8 converts its internal integers to floats and how. One Math.* method may output a Number which is a float behind the scene, another one int, and another one int double.

GC on MCU is completely unpredictable too. If it fires when you need to poll latency sensitive peripheral, things hang.

I don't know if it's a question of happiness, but instead it was probably one of necessity. H-G numbers were kept in check by available resources randomly dispersed in nature. Agriculture gave man the ability to manifest abundance without necessarily depending on nature to provide.

I think there are many studies on the overall health of hunter-gatherers as a result of diet and exercise and leisure time as demanded by the lifestyle. In early agricultural societies you have to work harder and longer and you're forced to eat a lot of bread, potatoes and corn and other low quality foods.

> looking down on people who are not into sports.

I think it's interesting you added this. I am someone who does enjoy watching professional sports and to me it seems quite the opposite, I more often notice people who do not like watching sports vocalizing negative feelings towards people who do. But maybe I'm just noticing that because of where I stand on the liking/not-liking watching sports question.

Judging by the language you chose in your comment it is apparent you harbor some pretty negative feelings towards people who like to watch sports. Dare I say, it seems like you look down at them?
I still think there are some problems with your definition, and I'm thinking strictly from a legal point of view.
There's so much manipulation that can happen from a sole proprietorship that wouldn't be allowed by your definition, simply based upon the quantity of sales (which is fine, if you think that's an acceptable demarcation line, but it will still lead to lots of cases where large companies are legally treated differently, which, in and of itself does happen, but any new text added to a given law will simply pad the lining of lawyers pockets whose job it is to argue over the minutae of each word).

But if I pepper a market crowd with my family members all randomly talking about how amazing the food/widgets/whatever over at Bob's Widget Stand are, so that over hearing bystanders can hear is a form a psychological manipulation that may fall into a gray area.

Ultimately, each time you say "this is fine, this isn't", you're adding an exception and branching logic that will be argued about ad infinitum.

Laws, like lines of code, have a technical debt to them, except the lines of law are likely to impact more people generally, enough so to ruin lives and industries (which can happen with code, of course, but code doesn't have the same global application to every member of society backed up with the use of force).

I'm not saying that reaching an acceptable compromise is unachievable, but conceptually, it's a lot more involved than simply laying out the broad strokes, with tons of ramifications, implicit and otherwise, that have to be considered.

This is a point most media conveniently forget. Recently there was one that explained a train from Amsterdam to Barcelona costs € 350, takes 2 days and generates 45kg CO2. A plane costs € 100 (or less), takes 2 hours, and generates 200kg CO2.

The option they forgot was a CO2 compensated flight, it costs € 110 (still 240 less than the train), takes only 2 hours and results in net 0kg CO2.
