Just imagine the value of the industry popping up to "explain" things to the confused random people in parliament. It would take lobbying to a whole new level. At least the current ones are weary and cynical and have their wits to understand how money talks and what's up, who wants what when they say something etc. Maybe some are naive in certain areas like tech, but I'm pretty sure random people would be like dropping sheep to the wolves' den.

The idea of neutral impartial helpful technocrats guiding them sounds wonderful but I'm not sure it would play out like that.

A History of Tug-of-War Fatalities (2014)
My aunt went to a great retirement community outside Boston. In her 80's she was Chair of the Computer club, and helped lots of newcomers find their feet. She also edited the newsletter etc. She wasn't alone in that community in being active. She lasted til 94 and was pretty healthy til last few months - and had no regrets and didn't particularly want to live on. Great example...
I’m surprised this hasn’t happened earlier.

Say what you want about the current copyright system, but buying a single book and lending it out one at a time and buying a new one when it wears out, is obviously different than handing out unlimited digital copies.

Culture Biosciences | Software Engineer | South San Francisco, CA | ONSITE | Fulltime, INTERNS | https://www.culturebiosciences.com/

Write software to make cells grow in custom made robots! We're a 16 person startup, we build our own hardware in our own lab and we need a great addition to our software team of 3 to help keep the cells, robots, and customers happy.

This can involve writing software at all levels of the stack. No specific experience required other than writing good software and being curious.

I joined 19 months ago and I can not emphasize enough how much fun it has been. The people are kind and trustful, the environment is one of curiosity and exploration, and I always look forward to going to work.

Unfortunately, JS fatigue is real and it can be challenging for someone who has their hands full with just relearning new React idioms to also evaluate the dozens of other libraries out there, so it's easy to miss a gold nugget.

For those who are not seeing the value proposition here, think Svelte, but where the "reactivity magic" is encapsulated via Components to still allow React-like "it's-just-JS" component code, while also getting rid of a lot of runtime overhead and the complexities associated with trying to optimize a virtual dom (as has been the recent direction for React).

One great benefit over Svelte with this approach is that you can use Typescript in templates (something that Svelte still is not able to do).

Solid's performance claims to fame are also legit (i.e. it doesn't sacrifice good devexp, good engineering, unlike many of the top performers in the stephen krause's benchmarks).

The only thing I wish was better is docs. It starts off "spilling its guts", so to speak, and while that is an ok way to explain why Solid is different than others and to garner interest from library authors, it's also not super beginner friendly. One cannot, for example, easily find docs for `<For>` even though it's analogous to core syntax if we were to compare to a programming language. Putting a follow-along tutorial upfront would go a long way.
They did it because the pandemic has closed libraries coast to coast, and it was a nice thing to do for people. Imagine that, making a decision not based on money or liability.

I know, fuck them, right? /s

There is a reason: Profit.

Is it a good and moral reason? Not in my opinion. But it is a reason.
No, it’s just the media narrative you’re seeing. Not reality.
It's easier to just open up and debug than say VDOM views since you can see your dynamic expression (what's not updating) and just drop a breakpoint. The template structure flattens so you don't have this issue of nested children and what you are debugging is the actual DOM nodes. It feels more like debugging jQuery. But it is no replacement for good dev tools.
It is for some authors. The bigger problem is that artists or developers or whatever need to pay the rent and buy food while they are in the process of creating.

UBI would fully transform that industry.
Thanks!

> Is there any documented way to let users opt-out sans ublock:o (or other)? Or configure it to respect "Do Not Track"?

I initially wanted to implement DNT but there's a lot of confusion about whether it's useful or not. I'm not sure if there's a standardized way for users to opt-out.
I think the reality will set in soon on this once the CARES bonus UI is removed (and if it is not replaced) and the PPP loans run out. Right now everyone I know in real estate is still convinced it was just a minor blip and love to cite cherry picked stats about how a recovery is already under way.

Coincidently I have been seeing a lot of fully furnished units coming on the market which I assume were former Airbnbs.
Most trees for lumber and papermills are grown on farms like corn (in the US at least). Industrialized paper making can be harmful to the environment, but so is essentially all industrialized activity. E-waste is more problematic. Most phones don't last much longer 5 years and can't be 100% recycled easily while most paper products are biodegradable.

I'm many years out of the Navy, but we were trained to say the addressee's ID first so that the addressee would hear the ID and pay attention to the rest.

In the early 1960s there was a TV series, Combat!, about a WWII U.S. Army infantry squad in France; Vic Morrow, playing Sgt. Saunders, would often say, e.g., "Checkmate King 2, this is White Rook, over." (Weird that I remember that, almost 60 years on ....)
Isn't this also because of tax considerations ? If you make a profit you have to pay taxes, so its better to inflate expenses as much as possible. However this argument gives some credibility to the business models of these companies.
Seems neat but doesn't seem to work in the latest Firefox (though I do have a hardened user config, I don't think its relevant here). The error showing up in the console is "SyntaxError: invalid regexp group".
Pretty sure it's possible to come more evil than that.
Random selection of competent individuals is impossible when we have no objective means of determining competence. 43% of Americans approve of the president's job performance. That staggering level of, dare I say, cultism, is proof positive that we care far, far less for competence than for tribalism, culture, race, gender, wealth, and many other factors.

Whatever your views of Trump, I think it's fair to say competence is not even close to being in his top 5 compelling traits. Then again, there is a reality distortion field around him, and there is a myth of his being a competent businessman, not a blustering, narcissistic inheritor.
/would need a very strong and well-designed bureaucracy and very well educated and moral public servants/

Yeah, that's a feature, not a bug. You want the average education level to be such that random people can govern reasonably well... Which is GREAT at the societal level.
Thanks for sharing my blog post! :)

I think something I would have included that I thought about later is being curiosity driven. It's more personal, but I've found a lot of what I've really enjoyed (and where I've learned the most) has been from allowing myself to go down random rabbit holes to play with different things.

There's some risk to this if you never go deep enough, but I think the benefits are worth it.

I think there's also something to PG's essay about liking debugging specifically too.
Yeah, but if all the grid storage and powerwall production could go sodium, that would free up lithium for the places it's needed.

The same argument could be made for nickel-iron batteries, though. They're heavy and bulky, but they last literally forever, and their source materials are ludicrously abundant. Why don't we see nickel-iron grid-scale storage? I'd love to know.
How is that used?
The books are still DRMd so it's not as crazy as one might expect.

The Internet Archive does great work and please support them if you can[1]. Still, they are a single point of failure[2] and if they should falter one day it will be a big loss. What we really need - in my opinion - is a second mainstay - an archive of the archive so to speak.

[2] Yes, I know about archive.today (formerly archive.is) but their extent is no way comparable to archive.org. Also, they don't archive pages from archive.org.

Fortunately, NASA does. That's why they accepted SpaceX's proposal bid to design a full version.
There's NuGet (another package manager) released by MSFT in 2010.

I compared the manifest format, that's different terminology. And WinGet has more insightful supports, e.g. MinOSVersion, License, LicenseUrl.

And the folder structure is different also. That's per version per file on WinGet but single YAML on AppGet. I'm pretty sure his wife can't handle that if she is not a developer.

"Core Mechanics" => It needed more proof.
Yes, but I think implementing a requirement to post a reply (or at least upvote some other person's direct reply) before a downvote would be much simpler. The categories do not take away certain subjectivity of the up/down votes.

It is easy to understand silent upvote as "I am in agreement and I think more people should read this". With silent downvote, the intent is clearly "less people should read this" but the reason as to why is not given.

It also nicely solves the meta-moderation problem. If the reason for downvote is given, it can be validated whether the explanation is meaningful or not.
Engage | Remote/Alexandria, VA | PHP, WordPress, Laravel Engineers

Engage (https://enga.ge) is a full stack digital agency seeking to fill roles in PHP, WordPress, and Laravel full-stack development.

* A PHP framework such as Laravel or Symfony

* A JavaScript library such as React or Vue

* Basic understanding of systems administration

* Knowledge of database architecture patterns

* Willing to continue ongoing learning and passion for software

Engage is a great agency to work with! The team works to create award-winning designs, build complex architectures, and take on advocacy projects for high-impact organizations.

Remote workers should be able to attend meetings in the EST timezone if applying.

To apply please message me at zachary.schuessler@engagedc.com with a list of projects you've enjoyed most, a link to open source work if applicable, your desired salary range, and a little blurb about yourself. Looking forward to hearing from you!
No, but in a more or less normal market, they aren't completely disconnected. The rent-price ratio will not usually vary a whole lot (one of the markers of the Great Bubble was that the ratio was completely out of whack). Since units of housing are somewhat functionally the same whether you rent or buy, price changes in one part of the market will eventually catch up to the other.
Perfect timing. The ski slopes all closed mid March, and the beaches have been re-opened. If you have the cash to sleep for 4 months, you probably spend most of your time doing activities and the economic impacts are trivial.

If you live in a country where these things aren't available to you, well yeah, sucks to be you in that situation.
On this I agree with you :)
> They provide fewer and fewer valuable services as the marginal cost of content distribution approaches zero

I'd argue this makes their services more important to writers because when anyone can publish content, you have to work harder to stand out from the crowd.
Yep. Producing the book is free.
Hence the executive order to take the first step towards protecting free speech. Similar to anti-discrimination laws, "private" companies should have to respect free speech. Especially when a handful of those companies control the dialogue of the populace.
And editing. Good editing can be very important. There's a lot of "R&D" work being done by publishers, I don't think it's fair to equate them to a glorified kickstarter. Same goes for music studios and movie producers. Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater.
Yeah. I was driving through Mountain View & Palo Alto yesterday and basically every apartment complex has a "For lease!" sign on it, many with generous move-in specials. The steady stream of moving vans leaving the area hasn't abated, either - it's the end of month, and I've heard at least 3 of them being loaded up in my neighborhood in the last day.

I suspect rents are going to fall further, too, because there are still a lot of vacancies. They're down maybe $200 on a $2000/mo 1BR, which is a lot in percentage terms but is still an awfully high rent when about 20% of units are vacant.
I guess they’re moving to Oakland, where rents were up 5% YoY.
I was towed for parking in a "driveway" in Minneapolis, except the "driveway" was a sidewalk cutout in front of what had at one point been a garage-type door in the side of a building right up against the sidewalk. Except the garage door had been bricked up so there was literally nothing anybody could do with the "driveway".

It was my secret spot to park because it was generally avoided, logically, there was no reason to prevent parking there. It worked for a while then I got towed. and "NO PARKING" was sprayed on the pavement shortly after. Sometimes you make a mark on the world.
I've seen this more than once. Senior management thinks maintaining a portfolio of software applications is like flipping hamburgers: they see no problem or risks in one team of developers handing the spatula to another team. What, wasn't the one-day knowledge transfer session not enough? So, the transfer from the home-grown team to Accenture is screwed up. Let's try it again, from the Accenture team to another team; lightning cannot strike twice, can it?
The demand drivers of students and tech workers is gone, and the street conditions are abysmal.

The volume of anyone else obsessed with 'networking' is much lower.
Would be nice to patch openssl and python to skip expired certificates too when there is a newer one available.
The BBC is linking it now.
Lobbyists will likely instead heavily prey upon the ignorance and inexperience of those sorted. There's going to be a lot of (in the best of cases) ignorant people in those chambers desperate to figure out a good solution to any and all issues their constituents are facing, in all those fields and manners they have zero experience with, and a lot of silver-tongued snakes offering counsel with pre-built solutions to loot the public coffers and services to their masters' favor.
There's an opt-out. And they're partnering with a bunch of other libraries that are closed due to the pandemic so maybe they'll get to count all of those copies as well. They also excluded all books published recently. So I doubt any author or publisher will be able to show significant damages in court.
Library Genesis serves as an unofficial alternative to Internet Archive' Open Library, with no lending controls and copyright restrictions (as they operate outside of US jurisdiction and make no attempt to adhere to copyright law, similar to SciHub).

To your point, the Internet Archive most definitely needs to operate in a distributed, global fashion to prevent a single country from causing a loss of cultural data because of political winds or profits being put first. Mirror the whole thing on multiple continents.

GHW Bush's crew planned for the first Gulf War in the early 1980s, designing a "rapid deployment force" that could occupy Saudia Arabia if something went down in the Persian Gulf.

Saddam Hussein was deep in debt and heading for an appointment with the IMF. Much of that debt was owed to Kuwait and he figured that annexing Kuwait would clean up his books from the Iran-Iraq war. He told the U.S. Ambassador that much; she said nothing in reply, went home to inform the Pentagon. Saddam took that as a "yes".

Bush put together a large coalition, established a lot of legitimacy, and ultimately won the war, and sent the troops home to a ticker tape parade.

Bush ended the "Vietnam Syndrome", completing the rebuilding of the military. CNN didn't show you the four days of nonstop ground combat that traumatized veterans who experienced the same mental health symptoms as Vietnam vets.

(You might think Bush and the CIA are evil, but up to this point, his team GOT THINGS DONE)

Saddam Hussein tried to blow the ex-president up when he was visiting Saudi Arabia. He took it very personally and so did his son -- that's why GW Bush was in such a hurry to attack Iraq after the Sept 11 attacks.

That war was a mistake to begin with, but in retrospect the Bush crew make big mistakes in the "nation building" phase - Don Rumsfeld for instance would be compared favorably to Robert McNamara except that he went along with Gulf War II.

What I do: I take MVPs that you’ve outgrown and upgrade them to support the next stage of your growth.

There could be any number of reasons why your current system is holding you back. Wherever you’re starting to feel the pinch, the price of ownership is that you don’t have the luxury of saying “that part’s not my problem” or “I don’t get involved at that level.”

You won’t hear it from me, either.

20 years handling a wide variety of IT roles and projects mean that I can help through the whole process from high-level strategy right down to code, all based on a deep technical foundation.

In the past I've been a network engineer, run large-scale Debian installations doing devops before it had a name, and been responsible for servers in Antarctica. I have experience with a wide range of different Unix tools and technologies, at various levels of the stack. This gives me the ability—and the perspective—to pick the best combination of tools for any particular project, rather than simply treating everything as a nail because all I have is a hammer.

No, WW1 explicitly. The society totally opened up after, with all its social reforms.

Even if military pressed for "total war" (ie civilian support as in the USA), society largely liberalized in the golden 20ies. And if you look at culture, the 20-40ies were THE golden age. (much more golden than the 60/70ies)
