I wouldn't be willing to pay that much, maybe 10% of that. But the actual cost to the newspaper would be far higher. What you pay could be as low as that cost / # subscribers, or higher if there's no competition.

If you don't know the answer to that - you may have wanted to think it through a little more.

Manufacturing at scale is hard and expensive. John Deere has been doing it for years, creating the most reliable tractors in the world for decades and has only recently decided to bend customers over to give them the ol' in-out-in-out.

A new brand would need to start from almost smaller than scratch, and have tens of million dollars of investment to even get started producing their own tractors. Then they'd have the uphill battle of a set of people who are extremely reliant on these machines to trust a new company with no track record with highly mission-critical equipment.

It would be an incredibly high-risk investment, with little to no guarantee of success.

Instead, as the article says - these farmers are not buying new tractors from anyone at the moment.

> Milking your customers is not good for business, especially if you drive them into insolvency.

That is unless you are a government contractor...
> Milking your customers is not good for business

Maybe that's true in high-choice, low-stakes consumer situations, like "where should I eat dinner tonight?", but is it true in industries with high barriers of entry?

If I decide I'm flying across the country to visit family, I'm going to buy a ticket from some airline that is in fact trying to extract as much revenue as possible from customers. And the airline business seems to be healthy.

If I need to buy a new car, I'm going to be presented with models and trim packages designed specifically to extract the most money from the customer. Honda doesn't offer DX, LX and EX trim packages to save you money - they bundle things together so that even if all you care about is a sunroof, you're also paying for alloy wheels, fog lights, etc.

I've never shopped for tractors, but I'd suspect that maybe the tractor companies that stay in business are in fact the ones which extract as much revenue as possible from customers.
Eldertech ideas would be a welcome addition to this list. Gil might say that Eldertech is a specific vertical under the RPA/NoCode category, but I'd argue that it's a large enough market unto itself that will become more relevant after 1 or 2 generational shifts.
> If customers don’t want this stuff, why isn’t there a competing company offering non-DRM tractors?

Because modern capitalism is not a system that will magically fulfill customer needs, despite propaganda to the contrary. The way the system actually works is that the wants/needs of the capital-holders take priority over the wants/needs of other stakeholders (e.g. customers and workers). The other stakeholders are often forced to accept minimally acceptable deals, as long as the capital-holders are able to maintain barriers to entry (like large investments in capital).

A new market entrant will likely be tempted (eventually, if not immediately) to implement DRM just like Deere has. And Deere can always drop DRM temporarily if it will let them fend off a competitive threat.
Ok, what kind of token do you use?
5 years is a long time in tech, software and bootcamps, i imagine much has changed since your bootcamp experience.

I did one 5 years ago as well and while I don't regret it, I don't think it was quite as life-changing for me and whether I'd recommend one, the answer is 'it depends'.

For me it really just accelerated my learning - forced me to quit my job and study full-time. 12k for a two month program at the time, it took me about 9 months to find a job afterwards.

Admittedly I had a couple of interviews early on but performed pretty poorly on them - was not well-prepared but they helped me learn and prepare for the job I eventually landed.

I think about 90% of my class graduated and sadly only 50% or so have found careers as engineers or in tech - Ruby/Rails just wasn't a great choice of stack for the area imo (at least vs js, c#/.net or java - which the bootcamp now offers)

Fast forward to today and I'm a tech lead at a "unicorn" and feel very capable in my skills and ability to continue learning - always be coding :)
Recently the highly controversial bill S.386(https://antis386.org/) that mentioned Boeing used $9/hr India engineers to write some level of the software used on its airlines, is this true if there are any insiders who know something about it?

Without a competitor Boeing has no intention to make the safest product anymore, however, Airline unlike others, must make sure safety/quality remains to be the No.1 priority. Any outsourcing should be carefully thought out before running towards the cheapest offer offshore.
Incorrect. Study the laws of Eruv, which are quite complex, and you'll understand why. Certain areas (the exact definition of which is quite rigorous) simply cannot be turned into private domains for purposes of the laws of Eruv and the Earth falls into this category. No the boundaries are not to "show God".
> Stonecipher seems to have agreed with this assessment. “When people say I changed the culture of Boeing, that was the intent, so it’s run like a business rather than a great engineering firm,” he told the Chicago Tribune in 2004. “It is a great engineering firm, but people invest in a company because they want to make money.”

Wow. In retrospect, this is an amoral path. Basically it's money over lives. Furthermore, this "intent" has cost them more financially.
Young people who "need reviews" do not actually need reviews but validation. Giving them a mixed review is not going to help their performance or their morale.

Imagine your wife or SO came to you and asked "Am I pretty?" and you told them, "Well, you've made some good efforts, but I think you could definitely dress a little nicer and lose some weight. I know we can get there after enough effort, though. Be a team player!"
They both have flaws. NPM due to the cascading mass of transient dependencies; go (historically) due to pulling dependencies from the master branch of a repo. All of those can change from underneath you.

In any case you can’t avoid proper auditing and pen-testing. Even if your app code is rock solid, it doesn’t mean your infrastructure is safe. Or even your office building or the data centre serving the code. Or your employees and their credentials.

All it takes is a decision to use mongodb or redis without auth and to expose the ports to the internet, and the most secure runtime in the world won’t save you then.

Or a bit of social engineering so the attacker is making perfectly legit requests in your perfectly secured app.

I'm pretty sure the effect you are discussing has to do with the uncertainty relationship inherent to the Fourier Transform [0]. This is very closely related to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, and states you cannot simultaneously constrain time and frequency, which are the values you need to measure for position and velocity, respectively. In the context of signal processing applications, I don't think the particle nature of light is typically considered, which is why it may not be exactly correct to refer to it as the Heisenberg uncertainty principle in this context. This is a bit outside my domain though, so take it with a grain of salt.

Some level of exclusivity isn't necessarily bad. The purchasing company doesn't want you using their deal to shop around. VC's are sheep, and having Softbank interested would generate lots of FOMA (Fear of Missing Out) amongst the herd.

However, 6 months instead of 30-45 days without a useful fee for non-execution sounds like the company wasn't in a good place to begin with.

This was one of my favorite places to go work in SF. It was a cafe that was optimized for people working.

I was disappointed recently when I found out they had shut their doors permanently. I was surprised too, because they always seemed to be busy. Apparently, they had an ongoing dispute with the zoning department over whether they were a "cafe/restaurant" or "office".
>Needing to safeguard your possessions lest they get stolen is a sign of a broken society?

Yes. You are just probably too used to it to notice.

Decades before it didn't happen as often in places it does now (yes, it did happen in other places. No excuse for a neighbourhood to go bad though, e.g. through tons of meth/opioid addicted piling to the crime rate).

In nicer neighbourhoods it doesn't happen still.

In whole countries (like Japan) it's unthinkable.

>Leaving aside small sleepy towns, everyone locks up their house, car, bicycles, and other possessions, even the people complaining about stolen packages

In my place (like in places like Tokyo or Singapore today still) we used to sleep with open windows, and had no problems even living cars unlocked. So there's that.

Agreed that discipline around being reactionary is important.

I work with maintaining both a customer-facing website and documents (instructions, order forms, etc.). I have learned many times that a change based on a single issue can result in trading one problem for another. Allowing for trends to develop will help better define the best solution and help the most people. Defining a trend can be objective, but three occurrences in close proximity typically does it for me.

Assumption: cost + savings = income

Is my assumption wrong? Otherwise it's 3x and not 5x.
Again, this isn't just some necessary aspect of human nature. This is something that very powerful people actively want to be the case, because when people behave in this manner it's easier to manipulate their behavior on a broad scale. This is the explicit purpose of modern marketing.

I don't honestly think it has anything to do with being "capable", I think it has to do with having the time and resources to learn how or even why they should want to in the first place. Most people don't. Most people have to work to eat and if they're not too exhausted to do anything than passively absorb entertainment when they get home that just means their boss isn't getting their full value out of them.
Its difficult to argue against safety. For some people there are no pros and cons, just black or white. 10% more safety vs 0% more safety. They dont want to do hard work to solve the problem. They just want short time fixes of the symptoms.
Given the time scales in question and the law of averages, I believe it is safe to assume that there is real value in exchange for money received in that transaction. To claim otherwise is to approach conspiracy-theory levels of people having to "buy into a scam and not give the game away" for those industries to have not collapsed.

Actually, I was thinking of building detection system for taking down protests. Currently, government has a need to identify muslims, illegal immigrants and violent college students. Looking at whatever video is there, it seems you can find them with 60-70% accuracy. For taking down protests, I figure something like automated human warnings or high intensity sound could work. It can generate list of people found and match them against existing database, give proximity of where they might live. Long term, you can track movements and other uniquely identifying data. All stored in cloud so for every camera you install, accuracy should improve.

I wonder if some kind long range radar would be able to detect protestors like activities.

For the attention economy, someone needs to build a prioritization system. Something that can jam all notifications and only allow higher priority ones to go through, scheduling, hiding things I probably don't care about.

example - taking care of unread emails by building a sorted list of them and removing junk based on how you interact with top ones.

> Digital neighborhood watch

Could be useful for various purposes like keeping away people on restraining orders with facial recognition, it should notify police with proof or observing fires, violence, and keeping away certain people you don't want near you.

Human sounding warnings will scare off a lot of low noisy actors.

Edit: Surveillance state = bad. I get it. I am against it too but are you not minority when most of your country doesn't care?

If there is a market need for a product, what do you use for determining whether it is correct or not. You can kill people with knives or ropes (more people killed than security cameras) but that doesn't make those two unethical or wrong to supply. You can defer to legality but that is not a good vector probably.
Ethics are subjective and based more on intentions than other variables.

Just a genuine question, what if you are minority in a democratic state? Should you have power to impose your will on others despite whatever they voted for?
If someone is harassing me, I can legally remove him. Harassing someone is wrong but what if protests turn into harassment or destruction of your private property, should you use legal system to stop protests? Should you think about the whole country of billion when making a decision that is against you in terms of favorability?

Is selling anything to state a crime now that they can use for violence or suppression of protestor? What makes detection systems so bad compared to other things people call 'ethical'?

You're right, but the flip side is that men are actively shamed for pursuing their own evolutionary incentives. There are two layers of competition going on, the sexual-economic one and the fluffy interpersonal one, but some people gain leverage by maintaining the fiction that one of them is obsolete. This fiction is enforced by calling everyone who notices it a misogynist or an incel.
It is in the realm of "tortious interference" to outbid others then fail to follow through with it, but it isn't generally a contract when two legally represented groups are agreeing over something which is expected to be defined on paper.

> If there was an initial set of fires and smaller explosions that dispersed unburned gunpowder and wood/grain dust into the sky, once it was dispersed a flash could have spread through the dust cloud and created a huge explosion as described.

That was my thought too, especially with the description of the initial rumbling noises. Gunpowder burning in a small space might well provide the energy needed to disperse something flammable in a cloud above the armory which could then be ignited at some interval after it was created, providing a fuel-air explosion above ground level which would explain the over pressure damage without burning, the shape of the mushroom cloud, and the magnitude of the explosion.
Probably not. You can't see Ir Lasers.
Ancient Greece is an interesting counterexample to this. A few thousand artists, poets, playwrights , mathematicians and philosophers managed to create the foundations of western civilization, arguably more cultural output than subsequent civilizations that had 100x or 1,000x the population.

Knowing that, it’s easy to see why the fascination with that time period has been so widespread and long-lasting.

>> a corporate-run effort where everyone just cares that their paycheck arrives

That sounds all nice and good and very Zuccotti Park, but experience suggests the opposite. Wawa and Racetrac bathrooms (and McDonald's, and Buc-ee's, etc) are generally far cleaner, well-stocked and much more pleasant, than most independent or one-off gas stations. Many stations still lock their bathroom door.

Maybe it's because keeping the bathroom clean is one of the requirements that the corporation insists upon, in order to continue receiving those paychecks.
"#6: Gotta keep that 95%-100% job placement rate up, but did you know that it's 95% of "graduates" get placed in jobs? Well, if you can't increase placement, then decrease the number of "graduates". Best one is the school that calls you a graduate once you get a job. 100% baby!"

I've seen that one with a for-profit college. It requires a paid "internship" thingy to graduate. Then gives out really uninspired internship openings. Sure, you've got a job, though.
Because it would be really expensive to start a new tractor manufacturing business; it would take years to even get prototypes up and running; you'd still have to prove that your tractors were as good as or better than these 40 year old antiques (which they probably wouldn't be at first); you'd have to be able to make something that could meet safety and efficiency standards of today while giving up the advantages of tight control over maintenance; you'd have to figure out how to compete with the dealer, mechanic, and parts networks that represent a huge advantage of the existing players; and you'd have to figure out how to do all of that without running out of money. It's probably a twenty-year project. You up for it?
