One thing I never see in these analyses is ease of setting up a server. Back when I was in college and got my first computer, I could install a simple web server, drop any file in its folder, and view that file in my web browser. If it was HTML, and I got the HTML wrong, it would still display most of the page.

Gopher wasn't like that at all. I downloaded the Gopher server and ran it. Then I put a file in its folder, and it didn't show up. You had to (IIRC) write a special index file to tell it how to serve each file. If you didn't get it perfectly right, it wouldn't show up at all. And of course the error messages and documentation were somewhere between "terrible" and "missing".

I wanted Gopher to succeed, because I liked the simple, regular organization of information, rather than the crazy anything-goes world of the World Wide Web. I just couldn't figure out how to get it to work.

This is a fundamental Microeconomics supply-demand pricing question: Do you sell an item based upon the cost to produce it, or the price customers are willing to pay for it?

Employment is no different. There is a struggle between buyers of your employment, and you (the seller) of your time/expertise. If those prices overlap, then there is a spectrum of possible transaction prices that can occur.

As you can imagine, if there are many buyers, and few sellers, then the price is driven to an auction level where buyers must compete with one another for the employee. If there are more sellers than buyers, then the price is driven down towards the cost of that employee (and associated education).

Typically we exist in the middle where negotiation tactics dominate where within that range the price settles. That's why there are policies such as "don't share your salary" - to create information asymmetry favoring the employer. ...and why people with poor negotiating skills typically earn significantly less than those who demand more.

Generally, when demand for employees is high, companies try to make the market less efficient by creating hurdles to employees leaving (like the agreements between tech companies not to "poach" employees from one another), and bonus programs that vest over multi-year periods.

This is relevant today because allowing employees to work from home greatly increases the supply of potential employees (both domestically as well as internationally), thereby forcing employees to accept closer and closer to their cost-basis. By microeconomic principles alone, it would be surprising if this didn't significantly drive down tech wages.
Tutorial on Causal Inference and Counterfactual Reasoning
The Atlantic and Jeffrey Goldberg (now the editor-in-chief) laid the ideological groundwork for the US to invade Iraq, one of - if not the biggest crimes of the 21st century. [1] The Atlantic sold the Iraq War with reporting that relied heavily on war hawks, neocons in the Bush administration, and at times complete fabrications. It it is hard to shed a tear for an organization which helped create a conflict resulting in the deaths of 1.2 million Iraqis.

Because the earnings part comes before the tax part, which is the proper order of operations. In order to produce earnings, our system dictates that you do something economically useful. That's not a perfect system, but it has produced the modern economy and for all its flaws, no economy in history has produced as much wealth as exists today.

I am highly skeptical of UBI. The U.S. is the last place that should try it, it should be experimented on in a country like New Zealand or Italy... not on an economy like the U.S., which could bring down world trade if UBI ends in economic catastrophe, such as hyperinflation, which is a very real possibility.
I'm a casual so don't take this post as authoritative or anything, but I feel like people are forced to use frameworks to do anything more complex than a static website meant for desktop only. For example, to make a fully responsive website that adapts from desktop to mobile and vice versa and can dynamically create forms and stuff, there's no one place to go and see a SUPER OFFICIAL STANDARD OF HTMl/CSS way to do it. There are some official resources like w3school and mozilla, but they're only good for really simple things. You find a bunch of scattered guides around the web, none of them really explaining the choices in their settings very well or at all. So as a beginner, I feel like I am just throwing shit at a wall and hoping something sticks and works, until I find some other setting from a different guide to do some other thing that breaks the first feature. With modern frameworks, you can achieve some structure and order, because someone else did all the boilerplate and groundwork so that you can just make a damned website like you wanted to do instead of floundering around from tutorial to tutorial.

Existing platforms could be misused by private actors in a way that negatively effects the populace. Arguably most of the people presently concerned are either a majority of bad actors or a minority of idealists concerned about future potential.

To the worthy minority I would suggest that difficult to censor platforms are probably trivially realizable in mid term especially if substantially desirable or needed.

I don't think censorship by platforms like YouTube is being misused now and the massive risk remains censorship by state actors. I suggest we in the short term we encourage people like YouTube to censor more evil idiocy not less while working on maturing decentralized options to the net benefit in the short to mid term as a hedge against tyranny that will virtually certainly primarily remain the province of state actors.

I love the exercises in Godement's Algebra (1968), e.g. p111:

15. With the development of purely peaceful space research, the President-Director-General of the Societe Anonyme pour l'Exploitation Financiere de la Physique Purement Theorique, Commander of the Legion of Honneur, had been able to conclude some profitable contracts and has bought a country estate of 200 hectares in Basse-Normandie at 8,000 francs per hectare. Inspired by this example, a plumber employed by the company, earning 800 francs a month, decided to invest a tenth of his wages in savings bonds at 4% interest per annum. How many years will he have to work before he is in a position to buy an estate of 200 hectares in Basse-Normandie and live out the rest of his life in peace and comfort? (You should take account of compound
interest, but ignore the effects of possible devaluations of the currency.)

16. According to Le Monde of 21st July 1954, the annual expenditure on the war in Indo-China is given by the following table (the unit is 1,000 million old francs):

...

Use this example to verify the fundamental properties of addition (associativity and commutativity).

17. In November 1954, there were in Algeria 1,230,000 Europeans and 8,300,000 native-born Algerians. At the same date, the University of Algiers had 4,548 European and 557
Algerian students. Calculate the ratio between the chances of a European and those of an Algerian of receiving higher education.

Well, my point was that it was unit specific, not Barb specific. If you are chasing a Barb Scout with a Warrior, you'll never catch them. Scouts bypass movement penalties over hills and through trees, warriors don't.

You also may be moving in a straight line over bad terrain, while the AI is making sure it is always using the flattest terrain to get the most movement per turn.

TL;DR - The issue is unit specific. Build units that have more movement per turn, and have few penalties moving over bad terrain, and Barbs won't get away from you.

Also, just a tip; Don't chase them. Focus on finding their camp, because thats where they spawn. If you start attacking that, Barbs will naturally come to defend it. Spend your movement and units to find and destroy the camp. Far more valuable than trying to eliminate specific Barb units. If left unchecked, the camp will spawn horseman or spearman which are much harder to deal with. It's way better to have a wandering scout on the map with no more barb spawn than hunting down a few scouts and leaving the camp in tact.
1. Most higher capacity FPGA have a features called "partial reconfiguration" where you can reload a part of the FPGA with a new bitstream. This new part can usually come from anywhere (PCIe, SPI, ...)

2. RISC-V is a ISA. It's not an implementation. You can implemented it on FPGA or ASIC. When you implement a RISC-V on an FPGA, it will cost you between $2 and maximum a few $1000 in silicon. FPGA technology itself is something that can only reasonably be implemented in an ASIC. The initial cost of an ASIC can go anywhere from $100K (on a very old process) to multiple millions.

Yeah no kidding so there will be hyperinflation. Making the net effect of UBI almost zilch. What use is $1000 bucks when toilet paper is $100 a roll.

> 3) Because of (2), more research effort and investment will go into automating and otherwise reducing the number of humans required for unpleasant jobs. And with UBI, that becomes an unmitigated good, with no worry about putting people out of work.

So there will be a giant underclass of people who live on nothing but UBI (UBIers) while a small minority of elite researchers in corporate labs come up with more ways to keep the UBIers from earning their own living. Great. And who buys all the stuff? Is the "stuff" just for the gilded class smart enough to work? Or do we just give the UBIers a raise every now and then to "stimulate" the economy? How is this not communism?

It means the industry has reached a place where people are refusing to sign up for subscriptions when the they are not sure if they will use the service often enough. For example, inspite of pressure from my family, I do not sign up for netflix becuase after watching one or two movies in a month, I dont touch it again. I cancelled it in two months. Same goes for why I dont subscribe for xbox live, youtube premium, spotify etc etc.

Frankly, someone should do an app/service where they aggregate my usage across all these subscription services and get me automatic refunds if I use it below 'x' amount of time per month. Spotify, Pandora, netflix, comcast, youtube red, pluralsight books, what not

Censorship isn’t the answer to the things you fear. YouTube banning these things won’t stop them from spreading. YouTube not banning these things won’t cause people to commit violence.

Try replacing “being indoctrinated” with “reading” or “being prompted to” with “watching crazies talk about how you should”, and try your sentence again without the biased framing.

You misattribute the agency of the viewer. Video games don’t make kids shoot up schools, and stupid videos don’t make people light cell towers on fire.

Even the entirety of Pizzagate led to exactly one guy out of hundreds of millions picking up a gun, and even then no one was hurt.

Meanwhile, YouTube is taking down videos of ACTUAL war crimes in the Syrian civil war, which is destruction of evidence and is hindering prosecutorial efforts.

Censorship is not the solution.
I run a remote-first company and follow a single-city model. But that city isn't SF.

I don't really know what city it is, but we pay people with the same experience doing the same work the same pay regardless of where they live.

I understand that this means that I probably can't afford someone in SF, but I also know that there is no way I was poaching from FAANG anyway, and there is plenty of good talent not in SF.

So I get high marks on all the criteria, as long as they don't live in an expensive city. It's a tradeoff I'm willing to make.

As we get more successful, I can move everyone up to match the more expensive cities.
Video hosting scalability is not the problem it was if you use a technology like Webtorrent, allowing peer-to-peer distribution of your video files. See PeerTube for a relatively easy platform for your private video hosting.

Even putting Webtorrent aside, a simple server with a gigabit connection allows you to handle a hundred simultaneous viewers at once with a reasonable bitrate, all day long. If you're constantly getting more than that, you can surely afford a CDN or a proper infrastructure.

I do agree that the network effects of YouTube are very hard to compete with, however.
It is more difficult to ignore people on a voice call. You get someone's attention, front and center. With everything else that's asynchronous, like text, email... you can just disappear or pretend to be half interested while you browse HN.

I suppose with voice, you can just hang up, but that is considered rude. Ignoring someone's text or email is commonplace.
Not for the next year or so.

Then they don't need to use video, they can use written words.

There's no reason why they should be able to use the infrastructure of private companies to scale their message as much as they want.

Or they can just pay for a CDN as you say. This just highlights the differences between the West and China even more. In the west, harmful messages need to stand on their own two feet. If they don't have support, then they can be kicked off private platforms. No need for the government to intervene.
> Windows had updates before it had telemetry.

This is not entirely correct: for as long as MS has offered updates via the internet, the update service has required some information from the users machine. If we went back to 2003 with the same legal definitions and awareness that we have today, we could have called this information 'telemetry'. The legal definitions and public awareness of the data gathering has changed a lot since then, but the use of 'telemetry' (for lack of a better word) hasn't.

You'll have to forgive my ignorance about Linux because I haven't used it in a long time: I just fundamentally don't see how any update manager (be it chocolatey, nuget, windows, or linux etc) can efficiently update a client without knowing what's already on the client. If any installation information is sent from the client to an external entity, it may be considered 'telemetry' and subject to certain laws. Doesn't sudo send such information? (again, forgive my ignorance on the Linux implementation).
