Your first 3 points are all based on a complete misconception of what 5G NR is. You are talking about mmWave which is an accessory component of the 5G NR standard. Low and mid-band 5G use ~ the same bands (or n71 which is the old TV band in the case of T-mobile) as LTE. Some Network Providers have been doing mmWave first because it is easier to deploy but their networks will also be mid and low band when they finish build-out.

Maybe don't make blanket statements about a standard you clearly aren't familiar with.
This was a great follow up. I completely agreed with the first post, and I couldn't help but think those critiquing it didn't quite understand what they were critiquing. It's rare that you're able to actually definitively prove that out, but these results are about as conclusive as it gets.
Well, my personal experience running the zoom client on Ubuntu was very satisfying. It worked out of the box, just a deb to install. I am on kubuntu 18.04LTS X11 though, not wayland (which I am glad because on 16.04 I was often victim of that stupid copy/pasting bug freezing firefox or the whole gnome env.)
What would you say is the best advertising for a small business or application to do?
Think of it as an SLA. People optimise for different outcomes, some people need their groceries in a 1 hour timeslot because they have other commitments.
Exactly. Calculating TCO for on-prem vs cloud is tricky. Any time we have done it cloud came out the winner. I also found exceptions: predictable static workloads requiring a huge amount of bandwidth, mostly outgoing. An average company that needs some CPU and storage for various unpredictable workloads benefits from cloud services greatly.

The scope-limiting to 12 acres announced on October 31 was perceived as a win for the regulators, giving them more control over the project over time. At that point the project timeline became untenable for SWL's plans but couldn't back out due to PR concerns for Alphabet. The pandemic is a convenient excuse for the company to abandon the Quayside project.

For the last three years SWL has bent over backwards to be transparent about its plans and address community concerns. Plans have repeatedly been scaled down to the point where it makes absolutely no financial sense to move forward.

The calculation to bet the company on Toronto was made before this recent backlash against Big Tech. I suspect it would have been made differently had the company started a year later.
We already know how society looks like if a small portion does not need to work. But how will it be if no one needs to work?

An interesting case is Saudi Arabia that pretty much runs on free oil money. Saudi nationals are notorious for having bad work ethics, and they have to import many foreign workers to run the economy. To prepare the country for a post oil world companies are required to hire a minimum percentage of Saudi nationals.

I am wondering why AMD would manufacture ultra low end potato cards which would cost like $35, only for office use. That would boost the sales big time.

Advertising spending is already recognized as sort of a prisoner's dilemma so even if not literally true the effect are similar. Barring existing infamy or a backfire that makes them worse than generic like say Evony a sole advertising party would be priveledged in name recognition but if everyone does it is just an expense boost to enter in the red queen's race.
That really depends on the size of your app. You also lose the ability to run debuggers. Not to mention how hard is to run serverless java applications, which is the dominant enterprise programming language.
I have no idea - but the whole point of the endeavor is (presumably) that it at least scales better than a classical CPU. The goal of the research was hardly to achieve what can be done on a smartphone in one second.

It may work out that way. But I don't think that was Sweden's intent. Just yesterday I read that the guy who devised their pandemic response was surprised by the deaths. (Sorry, I don't recall the source...)
That doesn't tie identity to keys.

Not to mention it's notoriously slow and has been shown to be an insecure method of distributing keys (due to the fact that anybody can upload any key).
I understand that talking point and that's not the point of my response.

The "stock market" - particularly the indices that are improperly used to show the health of the market - can indeed continue going up to infinity for a variety of reasons that have nothing to do with physical production of physical goods.

Only Samsung's very latest flagship release has a 5G antenna, and Apple hasn't even announced a 5G phone yet. Even if it had, the average person keeps their phone for several years, so almost nobody has a 5G device in their pocket right now.
Regarding your first point, I'm not sure if that's true, I think they use low frequency spectrum around 900MHz (just like LTE) as well, not just the 2000MHz+ to GHz spectrum in densely populated or visited places.

Also, as far as I'm concerned, the latency gains are much more interesting as the ludicrous speed, and then not even exclusively for phones and new types of apps, but for IoT as well
Svelte.

It reduces the JavaScript sent to each page even further because it doesn't have a runtime per se. Basically each component is "compiled" to a set of imperative DOM instructions with some helper functions.
Can you explain why multiple mutable pointers is bad practice?

I understand the benefits and the risks of them, and understand how Rust prevents both, but I dont yet understand why it's bad practice, and am interested to learn why.
I don’t think you are doing yourself a favor by bending history in a shape that supports your (very valid) point.
We put our faith in the scientific institution. (And if we are religious, political or etc, we put our faith in the appropriate institution for that too.)

Fact is, virtually all knowledge about what lies beyond our personal sight and understanding is authority-based.

Maybe that's unavoidable.

The key feature of science could be said to be the institution of the rule that, to be considered truly high-quality, a model must have a strong experimental reference.

Or you could say that the key feature of science is that we get such high-quality models that experimental reference is unnecessary. Which is a little scary. It's like we're just creating a more-airtight dogma.

(Wow, they're actually downvoting you.)
Wrong. The SS was a paramilitary organization within the nazi party. It started as a small group of loyalist bodyguards.

Their name literally meant "hall security".

And when Himmler took over the organization, the SS featured less than 3k members.

You're either a poor troll or extremely uninformed.
I worked for a company committed to managing their own DCs for cost. The idea of a big B2B contract with a cloud provider was frequently tossed around, but never manifested.

Our server demands were high. In Ad-Tech, we needed incredibly low latency which required thousands of bare-metal server boxes.

Our servers also processed nearly 300 _billion_ transaction each day, each one in around ~50ms. This generated petabytes of data, used tons of bandwidth, and required many servers.

leasing bare-metals and a warehouse was cheaper.
For whatever it's worth, I think your service (A) looks great! and (B) looks a lot like Heroku in a lot of ways.

One thing Heroku learned was that people kind of abused their free service. It used to work like this: You could create a free web service, and with no activity, it would "go to sleep" after (I think) 18 minutes of inactivity. Then it would take about 30 seconds to start up... fine for personal projects.

The abuse cut in when people set up (say) a raspberry pi to sit on their home network, and ping the service every five minutes, so it never went idle.

So they initially set up some punishment-like thing where your app had to be idle for some percentage of the day.

Finally, they made a MUCH better fix in that they changed the way the free tier works. You get (roughly) 730 hours of uptime a month, use as you see fit -- you can have one app running constantly, two running half time, lots if you only hit them occasionally.

So I can see someone setting up a Fred Developer account, and then setting up their raspi to do some simple deploy step every five minutes, to change something inconsequential about the app.

Also, what would 100G of disk cost? 1T? Thanks!

Whether it is for the opening or closing of the States the federal government would have the constitutional powers to make those orders. States have the primary authority but essentially at anytime the Federal government could invoke the Commerce Clause.

From an American Bar Association (ABA) article from April 2020:

>Through the Commerce Clause, which gives Congress exclusive authority to regulate interstate and foreign commerce, the federal government has broad authority to quarantine and impose other health measures to prevent the spread of diseases from foreign countries, as well as between states although that has never been affirmed by the courts.

>In 1902, the Supreme Court directly addressed a state’s power to quarantine an entire geographical area. In Compagnie Francaise de Navigation a Vapeur v. Louisiana State Board of Health, the justices upheld a Louisiana Supreme Court decision that the state could enact and enforce quarantine laws unless Congress had decided to preempt them.

It does because it counters one of the top conservative arguments against UBI (or any safety net at all for that matter) because participants _increased_ their days of work compared to unemployment insurance. Too many people are of the "you work or you should die" mentality in the developed world. This makes some sense in some situations but not anymore either. Considering the hilariously stupid things that count as employment today, the concept of "work" must evolve for us to have an honest conversation on what the point of all these programs are for in the 21st century and beyond.

I feel this experiment is better framed as means tested unemployment insurance bureaucracy vs an unconditional cash stipend. This strengthens my longtime argument that means testing is punishing to the less fortunate because it robs them of the resource most precious to all of us - time and energy. I took unemployment before when I was laid off and it was pretty laborious and took me several hours to go through the hoops to file in the first place and the confusion of how to confirm I actually applied for jobs didn't help.
It was checked in as a humorous response to the very satirical article I'm talking about, and never actually published to the package registry.

But again, people are so ready to froth at the mouth wherever JS is even mildly concerned that I really shouldn't be surprised they'd take a meme that lasted for a handful of days seriously.

Really? I tried to use it but I got a lot of false positives - in fact, every one of the errors in my medium-sized codebase was I believe a false positive. I spent a few hours last night looking at all of them and while I found a missing free, it was not one picked up by this analysis, but it happened to be in the same code that the analyzer flagged. Also the error messages are enormous in some cases.

It does show potential, and I hope it improves in future. Be nice to have a libre version of coverity one day.

Even as an information security practitioner that cares a great deal about privacy I am just not willing to jump on this "Zoom is bad" band wagon. "Zoom is bad" is a tech media narrative largely driven by the large players that have something to gain by seeing Zoom stumble. There may be QC concerns, but in general the product has been great for our team and our consensus was to give them some time. Their response has been positive and they seem to have handled it transparently. Reality says this: Zoom works well enough. When we started using it several years ago it was far ahead of the competitors. Maybe they are catching up? Anyhow, I will give Zoom a chance to do the right thing over the next 6-12 months regarding Keybase, and their product in general.

There are 2 kinds of 5G, millimeter wave and non millimeter wave.

The one you are talking about is millimeter wave 5G.

The other one has pretty long range, goes through building, doesn't use up that much more battery and is overall a better technology (higher bandwidth, better congestion control and overall capacity for more connections in a crowded area, lower latency, etc.).
Paying forward is such a powerful concept. I know where I am being fairly successful is due to tons of people to whom I may not pay back, but doing the similar helpful gesture to other people is so empowering. Hopefully the link never breaks.
I'll admit I've got a particularly killer use case. My daily project has an enterprise system for its backend. Its obnoxiously complex software, so devs generally only run part of it locally and part of it off of shared infrastructure in Azure. Because we are distributed team, cross-country network latency really hurts application performance under "local" dev conditions.

Running in a codespace, the entire codebase runs in Azure. The application performs almost as fast while debugging as it does in production deployment. It's awesome for where we've been able to convert to it.
Not a crime to possess information, not property, that was illegally obtained in either USA or my own country provided you didn't counsel or encourage the original theft.
Of course basic income on a small enough scale to avoid inflation improves recipients' wellbeing. That's not really in dispute.

The challenge is whether or not it is possible to actually implement on a society wide scale without net negative or self nullifying side effects.

One self nullifying side effect: give everyone free money -> prices go up -> everyone is back to where they started.
Until one day the foundation decides federation is not in the best interest of the community, the standards and reference implementation start to reflect closely the interests of the leading player[s] with other implementations having to play catchup. It would have been a very cynical take if it wasn't business as usual in our industry.
It might be helpful to think about this situation this way:

I believe the study, I would also love to be on BI while the rest of society is not.
Judging by the tweet, the archive.is admin says the lack of the EDNS data causes many problems. Maybe it increases his operating costs too?

Archive.is a free service and goes offline frequently so I'm inclined to believe he's really trying to triage the problem queue, unless I'm missing something.
Getting software engineers interested in your science isn't easy. Though in this particular case there ought to have been enough funding. I'm not knowledgeable about its specific developments.
I'm not in the advertising industry, so my knowledge is quite limited. But TV adds do work. Are you in the US? "Better Ingredients, Better Pizza, Papa Johns." I even know what Papa John looks like. Then there's the surveys they send out to consumers like "Which of these brands have you heard of?" and that kind of stuff. They can loosely extrapolate advertising penetration with that information.

There's always going to be some portion of advertising that is ineffective. Not everyone is going to see every commercial or read every piece of junk mail (junk mail being the bottom end of traditional effectiveness, I think, but they have these coupon envelopes that have local small businesses and I'm pretty sure those are quite effective).

As far as TV/Radio, they have lead in and lead out commercials. Those commercials closest to the content are most valuable.

> Speaking of, by far the most popular "videos" on YouTube are music videos.

Totally agree here. I've never tried to advertise on YouTube (or most media, for that matter, not my industry), but smaller niche channels seem to be good at picking up their own sponsors and advertisers. Similar to how some radio shows do live reads of advertising material. The "My Pillow Guy" buys a lot of these, same with Sherri's Berries.
Ease of use is the big elephant-in-the-room issue for Matrix.

The only way I've found to join a room is the `/join` command. There's a GUI search, but it doesn't work.

Users have to pick their identity provider, their home server, etc. Lots of choices, scary messages, and generally annoying to set up. Services that depend on someone who is technically inclined setting things up never become widespread outside technical communities.

If users pick an unreliable server to connect to, or there's a network split, things break, just like IRC does.

There are several clients, all slightly different. It's up to the user to pick which one they want, when they've never used any of them and just want something to work.

It's better than IRC, but that bar is so low you'd have to bury it to get any lower.
I assume you're talking about RIP Medical Debt. As I've found success in the healthcare technology industry, they were IMO a good choice for a portion of a recent windfall. I recommend donating to them as well!
I never found that argument convincing either. What I do find convincing are the basic physics (CO2 absorbs more UV) coupled with actual physical evidence of effects in the real world.

I think even without Covid, its harder to tell what is luxury in apparel. There have been a couple articles on this.

There used to be a clear difference between the look of clothes at different retailers but not as much anymore.

Walk through Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Macy's, H&M, and they start to blend together.

Doesnt mean no difference but maybe not enough to always charge a premium.
I think you're reading too much into it.

If you have to pay to replace a window that should have lasted, say, ten more years, that's money you now cannot spend on improving your factory somehow.

It is still economic activity (and the glazier doesn't mind the work) but it's remedial rather than generative. (The glazier that repairs the window could have been installing a new one in a new factory, eh?)
For modern video editors (aka "not Adobe") the CPU barely matters at all. I suspect "content creation needs strong CPU" is held up largely by Adobe, while more modern systems ditched CPUs for heavy lifting a long time ago or never used CPU for these purposes in the first place.
True. And yet... is that a good thing? Should that be part of our basis for identity? Is it something to applaud, or to help people recover from?

I think it's something to applaud, but I'm not sure...
How do you define “worked”, though? Was each advertising dollar the most effective way for that company to spend that dollar? Or was it just ROI positive?

Most people consider the latter, because it’s hard to accept that the spend needs to compete with every other way of spending that money, not with other ad media.
> The owners cared not only about profits but respect in the community

I think you need to read a little more history. People haven't changed their core nature in the past 40 years. Look at Carpetbaggers, the Triangle Shirtwaist company, and William Hearst for relatively recent examples. Further back you can look at The Dutch East India Company, the Knights Templar, and the various and sundry monopolies that have arisen throughout history.

People are driven to acquire capital initially to meet their own needs, then for power. There always have been people and groups of people who strive for the latter, not being satisfied with the former. Romanticizing long dead business owners may play well in movies and books, but it isn't reflective of human nature.
Personally, I dislike how the conspiracy nonsense has kind of covered up the actual criticisms of 5g that existed prior to suddenly everyone thinking it's a great idea and if you don't, you're a conspiracy theorist.

I seem to recall this revolved around, questionable tangible benefits vs cost of deployment, poor penetration of 5g signals through structures, a lack of devices or internet plans to take advantage of 5g, and some other things that just seem to have taken a back seat to all the bullshit.
