This seems like quite a bold statement. From the outside, both LinkedIn and Github use plenty of their own products / 3rd party solutions.
"It's an odd choice to use global accumulated wealth rather than the global equivalent of GDP (GWP)"

No, it isn't. If you own a house that has already been build it does not influence GDP. Yet you need to finance repairs and maintenance (and therefore Energy).

The problem with most infrastructure is actually not to build it but to sustain it.
Sure, your city council may pass the ordinance but that doesn't mean the police will obey it.

Uncle Bob has the best quote on this subject (in Clean Agile): "A software project is a marathon, and in a marathon you don't want to sprint."
I'll share one of mine as well. It's a 1-d cellular automata simulator that randomly generates rules and tries to use nice colors. Click to see a new one, and the URLs it generates can be shared. However, that is the limit of interactivity (for now, it's actually meant to be a loose clone of Wolfram Tones but that is far from ready).

Because in it's best interpretation, "globalist" is a thinly veiled insult for "person even slightly more liberal than I am, who I don't like," even though if you look up the actual definition, everyone with a functioning brain should be a globalist:

> noun a person who advocates the interpretation or planning of economic and foreign policy in relation to events and developments throughout the world.

I don't know many people who think we shouldn't take world events and developments into account with regard to our economic and foreign policy. So any time someone uses globalist as an insult or pejorative term, I have to wonder what they really mean. Because it's always code for something else.

First sale only applies to the goods - it does in no way (or in any country) apply to services. It certainly does not require a company to offer a service for free in perpetuity.

You can still sell the glasses, first sale allows that. It doesn’t say they must maintain their value.

There may be a false advertising case or fraud case here I’m not sure - but this has nothing to do with first sale.

There is no such "dumping." The plight of those communities is real, and it is used as an example. There are many more examples not mentioned, but that doesn't mean they are excluded from the inventory of harms a coalition will represent and work to fix.
He was so brazen in using identical schematic and suppliers. It amazing to think all this is a result of the supplier getting confused from having two clients with identical schematics and accidently cc'ing the wrong engineers.
That's true; that would be the better solution. Requesting a refund before deleting the app would give the user an error message telling them to delete it.
No, but I think each piece of software is put in a proper context, to match what most would commonly use in that particular use case. For example, the Clickhouse benchmarks are run against typical modest cloud instances.

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that being in possession of 48,000 good strong doses of LSD would seem like a fairly good reason to assume the person is somewhat organised in their criminal leanings.

Calling it blue collar is somewhat of a stretch.

Whether I agree with the spirit of the law in that context is somewhat orthogonal.

Full disclosure: many years ago I moved about 33,000 tabs of LSD on to the streets, took me about three years though.
I argue that China would still reach the current literacy rate had they continued to use Zhuyin. The switch from Zhuyin to Pinyin was entirely political, and the two are basically the same to L1 learners. The significance of Pinyin is that it drastically lowers the initial learning barrier for L2+ learners from Europe and Americas (which has trade-offs, but that’s another whole topic).
Same. But I let my credits go to waste and will just never be a member again. Not gonna reward their stupid behavior.

CF's size limit is the first thing I checked when considering them.
In this case I'd say the benefit of the doubt should not be with ESA:

'Asked about how the Ariane 5 compares to lower-cost alternatives on the market today, such as SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket, Stefano Bianchi, Head of ESA Launchers Development Department, responded with a question of his own. “Are you buying a Mercedes because it is cheap?”

Ranzo, sitting nearby, chimed in and referenced the India-based maker of the world’s least expensive car. As he put it, “We don’t sell a Tata.”'

And:

'the US military says it pays more for launches because of its mission assurance requirements, which require extra steps to be taken for preparing and attaching the payload alongside myriad other system checks to ensure a safe ride to space for costly national security payloads. What does Charmeau think of this explanation?

“I would be surprised if SpaceX explained to commercial customers that they deliver bullshit to them,” he replied. “I would be extremely surprised by that.”'

I recently purchased Unfree Speech by Joshua Wong, a prominent Hong Kong activist who was imprisoned for 6 months (at the age of 20) for his political activity. I recommend it, as it is a pretty informal, quick read. It felt...odd...reading a contemporary story about political imprisonment. Somehow the term itself feels antiquated, but alas here we are.
If you were ever curious how modern JavaScript VMs (or VMs for other dynamic languages) achieve high performance, this is an awesome resource. It explains tiers, the goals and design of different tiers, on stack replacement, profiling, speculation and more!

JavaScript engines are the most advanced at this (only LuaJIT is even comparable), it would be awesome if Python, Perl, Ruby, PHP or the like aimed for the same level of performance tech.
That's exactly what I do (or would) use and it does plenty for many type of business and it scales up well. The metrics specifically depend on the rest of your stack though but these days any API gateway or ingress application or service mesh or proxy app can provide endpoints metrics for you nearly out-of-the-box.
True, but this is also precisely the description of land ownership on the US, as GP alludes.

I think I could say my workflow isn't Mac OS specific, but for my own use, I think it is. I require 1st class Unix userland tools (which WSL isn't), fast native terminal (which nothing on Windows and most on Linux aren't) and due to me not being 20 anymore, an OS that "Just Works" (which Linux isn't for sure and Windows most often isn't either) that doesn't actively spy on me (which Windows does) and runs on a well made hardware (which Mac OS does only on Apple machines). I've talked about that at lengths, feel free to check my comments, for me Mac OS is the only viable OS right now.
People keep talking about 30% cut but it's actually more than that if you look outside of U.S.

Apple takes more than 30% cut for in-app purchases made in other countries. For example, an in-app-purchase (IAP) you sell in USD for $15.99 is translated to 1249 Indian Rupees and you get a proceed of 741 Rupees which is only 59%. So Apple keeps the rest 41%. Today's (when I wrote this) exchange rate shows approx. 76 rupees for 1 USD so the amount they charge the user is pretty accurate but Apple put so much wiggle room in their favor. This is true for other currencies as well.

Libro.fm is good too. No DRM, fairly good selection.
I'd just like to add something to put this out there for anyone in this position: Traveling the world is a lot easier when you are young, and you can travel the world a lot more cheaply than you think. The first because one of the byproducts of being a human being is taking on obligations of various kinds as you spend time in a place, which add up and behave as a form of gravity for your time and money. Also because most people think of traveling in a kind of "expedition" style (staying in hotels, eating at restaurants every day, flying to destination cities) when they should be thinking of traveling in a kind of "alpine" style (staying in hoStels, eating from the market, taking the train or hitchhiking, finding a temporary job).

Also -- and this is never a popular suggestion, but it's a great suggestion -- you can travel the world with a steady paycheck and have your room and board paid for by joining the military. Many Western militaries have personnel stationed on bases (or ships) all over the place, and some offer programs for members to travel at a discount or for free. Even if you never travel anywhere at all in the military, you could save a lot of your pay and pick up a few useful life skills and experiences while you're at it. Perhaps even gain an appreciation for the many various modern-day miracles that most people take for granted (useful for traveling the world in the alpine style, btw).
Also, that was a record Q2 in revenues for INTC. As much as I love AMD and that they are now competitive +/- in most cpu metrics, Intel held its own with a lot of 14++ inventory that is only now shifting to 10nm.

Reality is, there is no way TSMC would be able to mfg. all of Intels cpus even if both wanted it. What I can see happening is that Intel licenses some IP from TSMC.

Except it's not really a sliding scale with SMS being "easy" and U2F being "hard". U2F is SO much more convenient than either TOTP or SMS. SMS might be a little easier than TOTP, but with either one you still have to (1) find the phone, (2) unlock it, (3) hunt around for and open the app, (4) manually type the code in, often looking back and forth between the phone and webpage 2 or more times before you get it. Compare to just taping the U2F key with the side of your finger (assuming it's already plugged in, which is what I do). There's just no comparison in terms of UX between U2F and anything else I've ever seen.

> Not to rain on the parade, but serious question: are bookmarks actually useful anymore?

I would go one step further and say that the problem isn't losing URLs but losing content.

I have most of my bookmarks from delicious exported and saved locally now, but most of the links from the 2005-2010 era are now broken and even with something like Pocket or archive.org, it's impossible to find those old blog posts and articles anywhere. These days, I just print things to PDF and save them rather than risking articles get lost over time.
It's already working in 9 jurisdictions. Oakland is the most prominent. Seattle, San Fran are in there too.

Happy to tell you, or anyone who is curious, about it! Email in my profile.
Sorry I find your suggestions unacceptable because the point of the article, and I think this is the root of your where your misinterpretation stems from, is there is a measurable change in the opinions of those who lost their job. Before they felt like the jobs would come back, now they think they are permanent.

That is a loss in confidence. your alternative titles contain no such information and aren't accurately describing what is happening.

I'm just going to ignore the rest of your analysis because it doesn't seem to be relevant and distracts from the point.
> Because there isn't a lot of demand for English courses? Otherwise you'd expect them to increase prices and offer more English courses.

That's because the first undergraduate degree is completely free for all Germans.

> We can go even further - if Germany really offers anything close to an American standard of living and education you'd expect many people would learn German and go live there.

My entire point was, that European universities outside the UK and Switzerland are unable to compete with the US schools, because they are very unattractive options for foreign professors who don't speak the local language.

The real answer is, very few authors say “oh I have a great idea for a book that I’m only going to sell through Audible!” They have an idea for a book that they want to sell, and then through licensing deals and marketing it becomes an Audible exclusive.

So the choice is created when the author decides to write a book. The choice is restricted when the author or publisher decides to offer it only on Audible. Writing a book is “creating more choice”, offering that book exclusively through one reseller is limiting that choice.

You might make the argument that this is just capitalism and the free market doing its job, but to keep healthy competition alive capitalism is generally regulated to keep the biggest players from dominating the entire market. Amazon and B&N might have the money to fight over exclusive rights to a book, but smaller bookstores don’t. This creates a barrier to entry for any new or smaller stores who want to compete in the book market. The reason regulators watch for this kind of stuff is because Amazon has the money and the audience to completely lock out any competitors they want, singe-handedly destroying the free market.

Amazon doesn’t need an exclusive deal in order to sell books. They need exclusive deals in order to put their competitors out of business.

Stories like this are why I will never buy a product like Stadia from Google. There is zero guarantee the product and games purchased on the platform will be usable next month (exaggerating a bit) or next year.

This extends to all things Google. When building a new product, I push hard to use any alternative to Google because the future of their products is so uncertain. Sure, there are a few Google products that can be reasonably relied upon, but that list is small.
The only times I see embrace extend extinguish get brought up on HN is when there is legitimate concern. Obviously, on something like this if someone is bringing it up it would appear inauthentic. However, I frequently see inauthentic articles spewing Google hate that get upvoted and anything that gets brought up suggesting it is manufactured is automatically downvoted.
The military's capability to destroy and glass entire places far outpaces the civilian capability to do the same.

But to wage war against its citizens into submission without destroying the productive value that makes them useful to the powers that be? No way.

Absolutely. In my city, they implemented red light cameras in a (good) way that loses money.

Yet they still did it -- because it's really a surveillance network that happens to issue tickets. The map of cameras captures 95% of traffic entering or leaving the city and captures many transit chokepoints, with 30 day local video retention of all traffic.

I learned from jury service that this is important because surveillance video is a key investigative tool and being able to key events to a trusted reference point is important. If some event happens in a 10-minute window (due to cameras with bad time sync), you can use an independent event (say a bus passing by) to reduce the period of uncertainty.
All of those tips and no mention of MATERIALIZED VIEWS[1] it's a pretty wonderful tool to use for data caching (potentially highly safe data if you use on action trigger based refreshing) that can allow you to have a nice normalized data layout to write into and a beautiful de-normalized cross-table index supporting place to read from.

My org was forced to switch from Zoom to Microsoft Teams and it's become quite apparent Microsoft has a long way to go to catch up. There are small things Zoom did that enhanced meetings that you never even knew or thought about as a user until switching to something else. For example, noise filtering. Zoom has active noise filtering which gets rid of small background noise (like typing or computer fans). Microsoft Teams does not have this, and every meeting with more than a couple people has unbearable background noise and everyone has to be on mute if they're not talking.

We're now looking into an enterprise license for Krisp.ai just to remedy this. I am not sure how a trillion dollar company like Microsoft hasn't been able to figure this out yet. Maybe they'll buy a startup like Krisp just to fix it. But hey...at least it's more secure.
The key in communicating is that you give a roadmap, but not put the date into the sand.

Following the idea of the iron triangle, with Agile we fix budget and time, but we keep the scope flexible, however, we estimate a scope and refine that along the way.

If you follow an iterative Agile approach like Scrum, given you know your velocity and you have a backlog in good shape, you can work from one milestone to the other.
But isn't it just your own opinion that that which I challenged you to discuss which you have definitively determined to be opinion on which the judgements we are attempting to logically calculate derive themselves from are in fact not actual fact but in fact merely opinions of me myself and therefore ineligible grounds for any determining judgements which might possibly instantiate any form of conversation in which we might converse? ;)

By the way you might find this interesting ; )

Along with IoT devices, I think this is an area we need to see more clarity and maybe regulation.

Then the customer can factor that information into how much they are willing to pay.
