I don't know how things are where you grew up but it was only years later that I learned that most of the people who taught at my Catholic school did not have the required qualifications to teach anywhere else (and those that did were total creeps, like the molesty kind).

Most of them weren't equipped for the job they were doing and I've seen that in others in my own career(s). An important lesson about authority.
To pay with my credit card online I just need to fill in the card details (which are often stored on the website anyway, or auto-filled by my browser). To pay with card in person, I just need to touch in my phone (at worst take out my card and enter the PIN if they don't accept contactless, which is exceptionally rare in the UK).

To pay with a cryptocurrency I need to:

1. Be using a service which accepts crypto. This immediately rules out the overwhelming majority of services people use, live or online.

2. Own the same cryptocurrency which the service accepts.

3. To have it, I need to register to a cryptocurrency exchange.

4. To do that I need to go through identity checks and often message support a couple of times for one thing or another.

5. Now I can use a payment method to deposit money from my bank account to the exchange. NOTE: This step alone is slower than the entire process of just paying real money with my credit card.

6. I need to wait a couple of days for the bank transfer to the exchange to clear. The transfer also comes with fees.

7. While I'm doing this the price of the cryptocurrency is fluctuating and I have no way to know which way it will go next and by how much.

8. Now I need to transfer the cryptocurrency from the exchange to my wallet - this process is different for each coin and each exchange.

9. A few minutes later, if I've followed the instructions correctly I may have the privilege to pay with a cryptocurrency from my wallet. I will pay a fee for this and the payment won't be received immediately.

And I'm capable of doing all of this because I'm a somewhat technical person who's used to following instructions written by other people and has a basic understanding of cryptocurrency. Neither the older members of my family, nor the younger ones who don't spend their entire day in front a computer will have the ability or interest to go through this.
Going to play devil's advocate here.
This is one of those "strategies" that looks great in retrospect but doing this up front will be nearly impossible within the confines of a non-fictional organization. This is so highly dependent on multiple critical factors such as resource availability (do you even have enough devs to allocate to this parallel strategy?) and business buy-in (good luck telling the business that you are going to divert all these tech resources in order to throw out all but one of these experiments many months from now). Unfortunately I can't even get companies I work at to agree to 20% time let alone telling them we can't make decisions so we're going to burn huge amounts of cash trying to reach one in parallel.

Like the article said, people are much more cost averse. People includes leadership and product. Both of which will almost always decline this strategy.
A lot of the fast food restaurants around where I live use waxed paper straws. They aren't recyclable because of the wax coating (which otherwise keeps them from getting soggy too quickly in use), but they biodegrade rapidly and leave significantly less behind.
Author here. I do practice TDD, which is where I think this thought came from. Types aren't exactly like tests, but we can use them for some of the same goals, such as constraining and influencing our implementations.

The example here may also be an example of development by "wishful thinking" (writing our implementations as if we had certain abstractions available), that is talked about in the SICP lectures.
I agree, indentured servitude is completely incorrect here. This would be more like sharecropping.
Yes, yes, I like the new libraries, too. The Quantum team is following the Boy Scout rule -- when they refactor code, they leave it better than they found it.

But Microsoft needs to release New Edge today. And today, Gecko is not made from a bunch of reusable, standalone Rust libraries. It's built from a couple of good libraries, plus a lot of ugly, tangled legacy. Some day, Gecko might be the best choice for software that wants to embed web technologies, but that's not today.

Yes! I bought a ton of VTSAX back in 2008 - 09. It was painful at times, seeing those losses. More than 10 years later, I have indeed tripled my money. The only thing I regret is not buying more.
The problem is keeping pace with the upstream: it's not that it's impossible but that it's very expensive — when Google forked WebKit they dedicated a large and very talented (i.e. expensive) engineering team to the project. The same could be done again but you're looking at companies like Microsoft, not startups.
This is one of the best articles on company culture I've read.

> I lost the fight to get people to run a build, let alone run tests, before checking in, so the build is broken multiple times per day. When I mentioned that I thought this was a problem for our productivity, I was told that it's fine because it affects everyone equally.

I don’t think there is any conflation. AdWords is the incentive structure that creates all of the hazards you listed - it is the cause.

In the same way we could say the cholera virus is not by itself a problem - it is the associated symptoms that are the problem.
Another take: Traditional news outlets are no longer trustworthy, and will need to begin building new rapport by paying for known and trusted talent.

Journalists will have publishing control, choosing which platforms suit each piece the best. People will have a much harder time discrediting someone with a focused, proven track record vs a business with broad financial and political interests. It's the natural result of a societal emphasis on identity-focused decision-making. We look for other individuals to guide us through things we don't understand. Individuals are relatable. This is why podcasting has swamped radio.

I think you hit the nail on the head, which is that this is only a successful business if:
* The revenue model is stronger than lead-gen.
* The product isn't too complex or depressing.

Yea, I thought the same thing when reading the article, and have thought so previously about ISAs. At some level it's just pragmatism, since consistent attribution of income is difficult. The only defense is an informed applicant doing their research and determining that the expected value of the school's impact to their career is worth it.

But more importantly, these problems don't actually have anything to do with ISAs! Any educational institution holds you responsible for tuition, regardless of how well they improve your earning ability. Why is an ISA somehow more exploitative than going into debt to get a humanities degree from a liberal-arts college with a consistently poor ROI? This is precisely backwards; ISAs are dramatically _less_ exploitative, as the size of the student-debt millstone is insensitive to your degree of financial failure and the school has no direct incentive to actually improve your earning capacity.

Which brings me back to my initial point: The problem is bad schools with misleading messaging about their ROI, not a mood-affiliation-driven kneejerk reaction to a method of payment that's generally _less_ exploitative of students (in that it smooths out the risk, disproportionately sparing the worst off).

Not the OP but I've also had a Surface Go for a while. I use it to fill the following niche:

A device that is light, small, fanless, has a usable keyboard and touchpad, runs a real OS, can be used to write and debug code, has built-in LTE, runs a Kindle app.

Other than a tendency to hang on reboot (shared with previous LTE Surfacen I've used), I've liked using it. I stopped carrying a tablet (iPad or Samsung Tab) with me when traveling since the Suface Go does pretty much everything a tablet does and is not much larger/heavier, and also replaces a laptop on short trips. Since phones are now so large (I use a Note 10+), I typically read books on my phone anyway, reducing the need for a tablet sized device for that purpose. On longer trips I carry both the Go and a regular laptop.

No, but Microsoft bought some off the shelf Ampere and Cavium/Marvell servers. But they keep them for internal use only for now :(

Huawei makes their own silicon and servers with that silicon — also only internal, not available on huaweicloud :(

The only other player is Scaleway who bought first gen Cavium ThunderX's way back when. And Packet of course but that's bare metal only, no cheap small VPSes.

> Non-organic food is probably healthier. Less insect residue.

Not a foregone conclusion.

Reading the Forbes article, I wonder if the studies took organic food fraud into account, possibly even from Randy Constant.

Also, there are a lot of interests - very well funded interests - downplaying glyphosate and other herbicides/insecticides. The net effect would be to make non-organic food seem costly with fewer benefits.

You can join one of the successor trackers. Though, I expect them to be taken down in turn when they become more well-known.

The centralized private tracker model has a fatal flaw in that it's too easy to take down and all the work/hours people put in in curating and creating metadata ultimately wasted.

There are alternative models where the metadata is distributed but so far nothing has really caught on.

Regarding the last paragraph:

From that same article:

A direct-drive permanent-magnet generator for a top capacity wind turbine would use around 2 tonnes of neodymium-based permanent magnet material.

https://roskill.com/news/rare-earths-changing-magnet-composi...

The rare earth content in neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnets is 29-33% and the main rare earths used are neodymium and praseodymium (NdPr), typically at a ratio of 3:1.

Given this data your typical wind turbine contains ~650kg of rare-earths.

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/277639048_An_Assess...

We estimate that approximately 0.44 kg of rare earths are used in a typical conventional sedan, with approximately80% of the rare earth content in magnets. As such, neodymium is the most extensively used rare earth, followed by cerium,which is used mainly in catalytic converters. The mass of rare earths in a full hybrid electric vehicle with a nickel metal hydride battery is approximately 4.5 kg. A full hybrid electric vehicle with a lithium-ion battery contains approximately 1kg of rare earth elements.

Basically one turbine is equivalent to ~1500 cars in terms of rare earths, which may seem high, but if you compare the production scale, wind turbines are unlikely to be the main consumers of neodymium, or rare earths in general.

But org-mode lives in emacs. But yes, part of it can be done in a "user friendly" way and other tools do so :). Most notably outliners and task to agenda aggregation.
Agda and GHC Haskell have a feature called "typed holes" that can enhance the workflow that you describe in the article. If you're not sure how to finish a definition, you can leave a "hole" in the expression where you are stuck, and the compiler will tell you what type you need to fulfill and list variables that might be helpful. Then, you can "fill" the typed hole with an expression, while possibly creating new holes. Thus, types can guide you as you incrementally build up an implementation.

Types let you to have a "dialogue" with the compiler. Programming in Agda is very much intended to be an interactive experience, via its Emacs mode.

Typed holes in GHC: https://wiki.haskell.org/GHC/Typed_holes

Agda Emacs mode: https://agda.readthedocs.io/en/v2.6.0.1/tools/emacs-mode.htm...

In the article, you compare the usage of types to guide you with test-driven development. There is actually a book called Type-Driven Development about using dependent types in the Idris language, although I have not read it. It is written by Edwin Brady, the creator of Idris. https://www.manning.com/books/type-driven-development-with-i...
