These petro states suffer from the curse of natural resources combined with leadership that is too busy feasting off of the intermittent boom cycle to prepare their people constructively for the bust that comes later. So you have entire countries that are basically dependent on the oil handout, and in bad times, have little industry to fall back on and wait for the next rise (or foment civil unrest).

Some of the leaders do know that they can't live on oil forever, so you see some sovereign wealth funds investing in things that their people can learn and use to build their society more resiliently. But in general the improvements are not very deep -- the money comes too easily and people get used to state intervention and not having to work.

It's a problem.
I too just got a Renoir laptop (the 8C16T Ryzen 7 4800H) and its performance is truly impressive. It scores SC:1254 and MC:8269 on Geekbench 5 [1], within spitting distance of my desktop Ryzen 7 3700X workstation performance of SC: 1319 and MC: 9296 [2].

This question comes up on every post about a big tech company. LinkedIn in a global company operating commercially in probably almost every country. The "social network for work" part is easy but when you start talking about things like job listings across the world and then the sales and account management and local office management and compliance and the internal tools and billing and everything else, it's quite easy to get to 10k.

I wouldn't be surprised if they have 1000 people in the US just dedicated to sales & account management for the job listings.
Redux is global state. Adding all local state to a global store will result in a complete mess for any non-trivial app.
Yes you can. Look at Craigslist or POF.com for examples. But I also forgot that LI owns Lynda.com, so there are a lot of redundancies over there.
I think at this point, for most people, LinkedIn just serves as a repository for formatted resumes. Connections add a bit of value, as you can see where co-workers end up in the future.

The real problem is that for anyone with decent-sounding title, the amount of inbound spam is incredibly high. Endless outsourced development companies, recruiters, and random people wanting to connect for no discernible reason. Add to that a bunch of low-quality blogging, and I can't see how anyone can really enjoy spending time on the service.

Their issue is that they're making moral claims without clearly defining their relation to science. Mixing morality and science doesn't have a good track record.

I almost went with MediaWiki, but ended up with DokuWiki. The fresh install of MediaWiki is 154 MB (!) and it's not exactly lightweight. DokuWiki is 10.9 MB and all content is saved in plain text files. Very attractive.

Great question. We have existing customers who are doing this today—they have guidelines for charitable organizations they don't fund.

Today, we enable the company admin to quickly cancel any grant that gets loaded in their hopper of monthly matching grants. They can cancel any grant from their dashboard in two taps. The employee who submitted the grant for matching will get notified their match wasn't approved.

This is the main thing holding me back from going electric. I live in a metropolitan area, I park on the street. There's no way for me to get electricity to my car... and there's not a chance in hell I'm fucking around at a charging station for 2 hours in the middle of a commute.

Gas stations also aren't going anywhere. The average age of a car in the US is 12 years old. That means that, even if today we switched to only selling 100% electric cars off the lots, we're looking at 12 years (!) before 50% (!) of the cars on the road are electric. Finally, the current trend of free-or-almost-free charging stations is going to go away very quickly once electric cars become more mainstream -- I wouldn't be surprised if a "charge" ended up costing about as much as a tank of gas. This kills one of the main arguments for going electric in the first place.

Do you need RDIMM/LRDIMM or would ECC UDIMM suffice? If the latter, have you considered a Ryzen 3950X or a Threadripper 3960X? There are plenty of X570/TRX40 motherboards that properly support ECC UDIMM (but there are also some that don't).

If you need RDIMM/LRDIMM the only current AMD alternative to EPYC is the recently announced Threadripper Pro. Launch partner is Lenovo with the ThinkStation P620 where you can get 12-64 cores with up to 1 TB of RAM. Expected to be available in September.
Nah you can get reusability by creating shared components that you just pass props into.

For example, you can have a date picker that just accepts variables to display the current state and parent component that reads data from the store and passes it into the date picker component.

This method is also great for debugging, since you can just replay the state transitions over again if there is an application error. If the component holds the state, then it can be cumbersome to reproduce the error.
I look at the database first, then the important data structures in the code. The data tells me more than studying the code.

His point is well established and and not controversial, except in Marxist and “new history of capitalism” circles: https://www.econlib.org/archives/2014/09/ending_slavery.html

The supposed “wealth” of the anti-bellum South is based on a rhetorical fallacy: that by categorizing human beings as “property” you could treat their long term earning power as an asset. But that’s now how economies work. We can label things whatever we want, but they are what they are. (For example, the entity that ultimately bears the economic burden of a tax in practice doesn’t depend on who the law nominally assigns to pay the tax.) Put differently, if you draw a box around the economy, you can’t increase the productive output of that box by imposing slavery. It might change the distribution of wealth within the box, it not for the economy as a whole. Economic theory says the productive capacity of the box will be maximized when labor is not coerced.

Almost all of the “slavery was economically efficient” notions come from a handful of scholars, who are historians and not economists: https://economicsdetective.com/2019/09/cotton-slavery-and-th...

The work is not only methodologically flawed, but depends on shifting definitions of “capitalism”: https://poseidon01.ssrn.com/delivery.php?ID=3191210060650810...

A leading NHC scholar has refused to define what he means by “capitalism” preferring to let the term “float as a placeholder.”
Yes, and the employees that remain should thank them for their hard work and help them find new jobs. If LinkedIn could easily employ an extra 1,000 people without risking the 10,000 that remain, they would've hired an extra 1,000 a year ago. Doesn't work that way.
I feel like this might go the other direction once the lockdowns end and once people realize a huge chunk of their "green" energy labeled as biomass is actually just burning down trees.

Even if you use the fast growing forests used for paper in places like Oregon, there is still petroleum used in planting, cutting and fertilizing biofuel forests. In many ways, it's even worse for the environment than just burning the oil directly.

Baring some massive breakthrough in fusion, society as a whole needs to consume less energy, purchase less stuff and make durable goods that last a lot longer (a cellphone should last 8 years, not 3). Mass consumption is going to kill our environment a lot faster than energy consumption or CO2 emissions. CO2 pales in comparison to the ecological devastation in Chinese factory cities, the large amount of plastic particulates/trash in our oceans and completely unsustainable economic doctrine of infinite growth.
In hamming codes, the correction can only be done when an entire block has been received.

With a block length more than 1, you therefore introduce latency of 10s of milliseconds.

With a block length of 1, a hamming code doesn't do any error correction.

Hamming codes would let you access the uncorrected data immediately, and do error correction later (after the block length has passed), but at that point you have already used it to make trading decisions, so it's too late.

I'm not sure I agree. A claim that the article "mixes accurate and inaccurate claims in support of a misleading and overly simplistic argumentation about climate change" strongly suggests that the guy doesn't have a point. Perhaps more importantly, a "partly false" tag on Facebook suggests the same - fact check tags will inevitably be interpreted as a claim that the article's not worth reading.
Ford is really good at blowing smoke about EVs lately. Like their truck pull demo where the camera shot they released showed only one angle, leading to speculation that there was a massive power cord tether hidden behind the bulk of the truck.

But I appreciate that traditional car makers are finally getting it that people want EVs that are not just golf carts. Too bad this is just another demo but let’s hope they make some of it real.

Thanks for taking the time to write down your thoughts!

Data ownership is pretty important to us, even though we are only offering a hosted solution, which is why we explicitly say as much in our T&Cs[1]. But yep, we want to make export / backup of your data as easy as humanly possible. The hard part generally is that there are a number of features that exist on Supernotes which just don't exist elsewhere, so even when you use the export feature it is hard to guarantee we can export it in a format that is useful to you.

That is part of the reason we are doing our best to openly document our API[2] so that you can interact with your own content in whatever way you wish (including importing content from wherever or exporting to wherever). Obviously this requires some coding, but we're hoping the community[3] will share any tools they build on top of the API with each other.

Unfortunately E2EE is not quite there yet, as it makes it much more difficult to facilitate sharing when you have E2EE, as well it being a bit of a problem when it comes to a knowledge base if a user loses their private keys and you have to tell them "sorry we can't get your content back – it's all gone". But this is definitely something we are working towards – just takes some time to nail the UX. Since we are definitely never going to sell your data or anything (as per T&Cs), it's better for us if it's E2EE as then it's just one less liability for us from a data protection perspective.

Oil is basically what made the middle east a violent and reactionary place.

Natural resources dominating the economy drives conflict and economic clusterfucks in all but the richest, most stable democracies (i.e. everywhere except Norway).

Oil's decline in importance might be the only way to escape this cycle (even if it will probably lead to bloodshed first).

I am not surprise, just amazed that a site which is mostly self service and runs on UGC needs anywhere near this many people to operate. But then again, most of the people are probably hold-overs from acquisitions. As an ex VP of Ad Sales, I dont see how they'd need this many people in sales. Its almost all automated self-serve and partner driven. Even with a large US based team to manage the big spends, you're still not needing a large staff... But then again, these types of orgs tend to be filled with a lot of mediocre talent and suffer from BigDumbCompany syndrome...

People who sign up for both TrickAJournalist.com, and the Highrise CRM tool (GP's software), are very likely professional spammers, looking for whatever bulk-emailing software they can get.

There's no negative consequence to just signing up for TrickAJournalist; only a negative consequence for attempting to sign up for Highrise while already having signed up for TrickAJournalist.

Someone who just literally wants to "trick a journalist", once, might sign up for TrickAJournalist; but such a person has no reason to also to use that same email address to sign up for the B2B CRM software Highrise.

Someone who wants to send knowingly-spammy bulk emails while purposefully dodging spam filters, would sign up for TrickAJournalist (which claims to be exactly for that); and also would sign up for Highrise, since it has bulk emailing capabilities and likely also has positive spam-filter cachet from all the legitimate uses other companies put it to.
Yeah I trust you, I use and contribute to rdbms and am a bit familiar with their innards.

I've interviewed for roles at several top tech companies and what surprised me was that there were entire teams dedicated to working on what seemed like a tiny feature or functionality. In some cases, two entire teams - one for frontend, one for backend.

Granted, I understand there is a HUGE mind boggling level of scale involved.

But still, after going on such interviews, and talking with friends who work at FAANG, etc. it sounds like my boring mediocre job as a bank SWE is more involved and exciting than some of these FAANG jobs.

But I'd still jump through flaming hoops to jump ship to a FAANG or similar tech company.
