Can't agree; Uber and Lyft caused a massive change in the culture of cities in America. Maybe not the biggest ones -- NYC already had a taxi culture. But they exploded the use of hired cars in all of the medium-sized cities.
Both are a form of supply and demand.

1) Consumers want the product which provides them with the most value given the item's cost.

2) Workers and companies want the most value per their capital expenditure (whether personal labor or funds).

I don't see any problem with that, both can be maximized at the same time and work as a balance. One issue is that we've become much better at optimizing #1, and have become worse at optimizing especially the worker part of #2. Workers still relatively rarely switch jobs, which eliminates a good amount of upward pressure on wages.

Stuff like the employer-paid health insurance tax deduction is detrimental to this liquidity. Give the deduction to individuals, not employers.
I don't have numbers, stats handy but in my couple of years experience with Rpis - both regulars and the smaller Ws - the SD cards fail well before the Rpis do.
The core of the project is written in English, which is the current lingua franca of the world. If the purpose of the archive is for future scholars to have a corpus of knowledge from our time, then limiting it to one language maximizes the probability that the entirety of the information stored there will be recoverable.

Including texts in Finnish and Hungarian almost ensures that parts of the archive will be lost 1000 years from now. Even if those languages are alive in 1000 years, the likelihood that interpreting period Finnish and Hungarian from 2020 will be possible is far smaller than the likelihood that interpreting period English from 2020 will be possible.
Lived in Florida for about two years. We’d lose power due to the neighborhood transformer exploding a couple of times a year. That must have gotten expensive real quick.

The quality of the residential wiring in the original half of the house was not friendly to my hard disks. I lost four in rapid succession. Got a newer UPS, line interactive, had better luck after that until we moved out of state.

(That month of disk meltdown made me love ZFS. Didn’t lose any data.)
> It's normal for builds to fail between releases.

Why justify this with some categorical normative? In the last 7 or 8 years of my development life the master branch on every project I've worked on has always been clean. Breaking changes live in a branch and those branches are becoming shorter and shorter lived (previously lived for months, then weeks, now days).

That doesn't necessarily mean master is at all time ready to release (although some hold that extreme position). But it does mean that whenever you want to start work on some new feature you can be sure that branching from master is safe. And rebasing against master at any point should be safe.

In fact, almost all repos I've worked with recently explicitly deny merges into master unless a suite of tests pass, including basic builds, unit tests, and static code linting. The very idea that I could ever pull master and get a build failure makes me shudder.
Umm, but using bcrypt to hash the passwords is just a couple of lines of code (at least in Go); I'm wondering if I'm doing things wrong by not using a dedicated framework.

Bernie Sanders supported not only going 100% renewables as quickly as possible, but also banning hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") [1]. Silver lining is Aramco and COVID is doing what American's politicians didn't have the fortitude to do: force the scaling down of the US oil and gas industry and the inherent reduction in fossil demand from reducing commuting and air travel (respectively). I'm unsure how anyone can argue for additional oil and gas industry support at this point, with renewables and EVs proven; it's time to treat it like the toxic industry the coal industry is, and transition away from it as fast as possible (not "as fast as commercially reasonable"! as. fast. as. possible, World War 2 mobilization style). [2]

It's annoying we're only making headway in transitioning off of fossil fuels due to luck (cost decline curve of renewables and batteries, making them cheaper than all other fossil and nuclear generation) and a pandemic instead of a concerted effort. "It is what it is."

EDIT: @natch: To refine my point, I don't intend to minimize the work of those performing R&D or implementation of renewables and associated technologies, but that we "lucked out" that we've gotten as far as we have with the minimal amount of resources we've put into the domain. We should be pouring significant amounts of global GDP and productivity into this transition.

I don't know what they did but several weeks ago DDG got magically better at geographic local search (I do not live in the US and pound my head on that one too).

One day I actually DID need to find something local and so I dutifully typed my search into the FF url bar and hit enter. My default search is DDG but my brain stroked off for a second because the results that came back were 100% what I was looking for and I thought I was on Google. Give it a shot again, they're getting better.
Programming language research is a pretty small and arbitrary space with regard to overall usage, isn't it?
I think that lifespan it is their biggest disadvantage, and the reason why there is no octopus civilization, unless you want to go beyond the Mountains of Madness.

Modern humans for instance spend more time learning than the lifespan of most animals. If we were limited to a lifespan of 20 years, which is typical for a mammal of our weight class, human society would have been very different. Make it 5 years and there probably wouldn't have been any society at all.

This, I believe, makes them even weirder. With so much intelligence, why didn't they evolve longevity as a way to capitalize on their experience? Why didn't they develop collective strategies that are so effective in other animal species?
I ran into a similar situation, but decided to submit a short report anyhow. It earned one of my best grades in university. When I asked about the grade, since I ignored multiple guidelines, the response was that I said a lot more than most people even though I wrote less. It probably had something to do with my admiration of concise writing. It is something that I wish that I could accomplish more often.

The trouble is with the language though, especially when thinking about who is permitted to do what with the device.

I suggest changing the headline to "outgoing administration continues to sabotage government for next administration as popularity continues to decline during incompetent response to viral pandemic".

If I started a company called dan.tv and sold it to Amazon for $970 million in cash, and then Amazon renamed it to danisastupidasshole.tv I'd be pretty happy with that deal all in all.
What I've done with my RPi 4 is attach an external SSD to it and mount it to /home and /var. This reduces writes to the SD card dramatically. Lengthening the SD card's life. I have serious uptime on it, almost a year (since I got an RPi 4 basically). It only shutdown with power failures (only one, which was entirely my own fault) and system maintenance (OS upgrades and other tinkering).

I've also imaged a version of that SD card, so it would be easy to just swap out and probably get things running again without much hassle.

I'm sure there are more fancy solutions with overlayfs, making the SD card read-only except for upgrades. Though I couldn't find a nice resource on it at the time.

I disagree with almost every point in this article.
I work in the power generation industry. We have a lot of primary/secondary as well primary/standby systems.

The cardinal rule is - test everything. Test it when you install and commission it, test it when part of the system changes, test it periodically during maintenance shutdowns, test it when you have a convenient time to do so without losing production (such as an outage to a different system that necessitates your system being offline).

Test components individually - at the factory and in the field - and test systems end-to-end.

Test with the most adverse possible conditions, not the most optimal. Test beyond your normal operating envelope.

When I participate in design reviews as a maintenance engineer my primary line of inquiry is: how will I test this stuff during operations? Has it been designed in a way that makes testing impossible without an expensive outage? Can workers safely gain access to components that need routine testing without having to de-energize other, unrelated parts of the system?

Now not every industry has the budget available to test to the extent that we do. But even in our industry, I often see a penny-wise, pound-foolish approach of "assume this thing works perfectly from the factory then act surprised years later when an abnormal condition occurs and it fails".

If something was not tested, it may not work. It might be for a very simple reason (like mis-configuration of a single setting during installation) or a very complex reason. But either way, wouldn't the company rather know their equipment doesn't work -before- putting it into service than after?
This can be used to justify any kind of crap being shipped in newly introduced features, merely baring regressions.

Therefore I don't value the approach as presented here. But a sane variant could be interesting: anyway I suspect it will need domain specific judgment, preventing from throwing a nice universal rule of thumb to the world.
This is incorrect. On a per-capita basis the middle class is not being stuck with most of the bill. The bottom 50% pays less than 3% of federal income taxes (which are the largest source of federal income). That same amount of income tax is paid by the top 1,400 tax-payers.

Also no need for the line about irrational emotions - lets have some proper discourse please.

Highly disappointed there was no mention of the pain of annotating PDFs. The only way I've been able to reliably annotate a PDF with writing that I've downloaded on Linux is to use WINE or install a bunch of KDE dependencies just for Okular. PDF is a document format intended for consumption but so many institutions insist om giving you a PDF with no form elements and expect you to edit it and send it back. A web-based solution that would have a form that autogenerates the finished PDF would work so much more, but PDF is apparently easier for them to send and expect back an answer. As a result I dread PDF when using it as a format that's intended to be edited. I feel like this is a misuse of what PDF is supposed to be, as people believe that since it looks like printed paper then you ought to be able to write on it like printed paper.

As someone who's been watching this space for a little more than a decade.. this is what I've deduced:

Because Mixer died, twitch didn't need the tentpole any longer,

they don't need to pay out a contract if they ban the streamer,

there's a "council of snowflakes" that can't tell make believe from reality, and they pegged him with no disclosure to instil fear in all other streamers, a kind of general deterrence.

Twitch has nowhere to go but down, at this point.

If they are just people with an opinion, they can state that opinion, no problem. If they want to harass, threaten, and beat up those with a different opinion, well, you can't do that here. The next question is why they do such things. Because they're so enraged because someone criticizes China? Because they don't know the rules here, and don't bother to learn? Or because they actually are agents? The last seems the most likely. (You don't see, say, French students in the US brawling with French expats who criticizes France.)

>In a truly free market with no government fingers on the scale no worker would ever work for less than is required to live or at least they wouldn't work for long at such a wage.

I don't know how you're even supposed to go from such a premise that is demonstrably, empirically false.
The basics of life that consume the expenses of most people you had in the 1960s was significantly more affordable back then, and many would wish they could get that. You can't easily today, especially in health care.

In the past, college, room & board was payable with the part time work of a college student working low end jobs. You cannot do that today.

Single income households were a common occurrence, since dual income households competing for housing were not out competing single income houses. And I don't mean this in a crypto conservative way, even Elizabeth Warren wrote a book about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Two-Income_Trap

Could you buy a 1970s level of service health plan today and expect a similar cost profile? No.

The non-essential extras that didn't consume much of the budget in the past anyway being nicer or cheaper, such as clothing, entertainment and so on? Cold comfort. After you have 10 shirts, 10 more cheap t-shirts have little utility. HD video is nicer, but TBH, old SD TVs also give you %80 of the entertainment value. 2500 sqft of house is nice, but 1500 sqft of house is still giving you %80 of the benefit and so on. There is diminishing marginal value to these improvements.
Yes, the Germans invaded Poland, Russia, and most of Europe and extracted lots of resources at a significant disadvantage to the Poles. Japan invaded Korea, China, and much of Southeast Asia and killed hundreds of thousands of people for the sake of colonialism. I don't think the locals were happy about that. The United States relationship to the Native Americans. Mongol conquest of central Asia. The Zulu conquest of their empire. The Italian and French occupation of North Africa. The Ottoman relationship with the Armenians. The relationship between South Sudan and Sudan. Iraq, Iran, Turkey, Syria and the Kurds. Israel and the Palestines. All of Europe and the Jews. I can name historical examples of neighbors exploiting neighbors all day.

You can't just say "logic dictates" when logic dictates no such thing. I'm not saying your wrong, or there is not correlation, but there is no clear pattern between how far off an occupier is and the treatment of the occupied from what I can see.

Clearly this whole situation is political but I'd make 2 points.

1. You might be surprised at the election outcome.
2. The headline is based on the article, not what people think it should be.
The micro supply and demand view that increased labor force from greater participation rate by women causing suppression of wages is incorrect.

Such a view would suggest that any increase in labor hampers wages.

What actually happens is that increased worker participation itself grows GDP, which increases demand of inputs, including labor. Unlike a short-term supply and demand curve, the economy operates on long-term shifts of aggregate labor supply and demand, in which an increase of aggregate supply of labor causes an aggregate increase in demand for labor (by modifying the overall demand curve of goods - consumption goes up), ending in a place where increased labor force participation may actually result in a higher price of labor than before.

In other words, women joining the workforce enhances per capita income. This is also why xenophobia can be damaging: immigration does not actually suppress wages, as would be suggested by a simplistic econ 101 static supply and demand curve; in most cases it grows per capita GDP and has a similar income-enhancing effect as was seen from women joining the workforce.

I do agree with some of your other points re: the difficulty in calculating improvement in quality of goods, and the basket substitution effect problem of calculating CPI. Accurately comparing wages from the 1970s to now is very difficult.

That's a shame, I wondered if it was just not profitable for Amazon's end, it sounded too good to be true. I remember the model was... the longer people play your games, the more you make...

Buy an automatic transfer switch. Plug one input into a UPS, plug the other into either the mains or another UPS (preferably a different brand but identical power). I resorted to this after having multiple APC and Cyberpower batteries fail killing power (even with a line-interactive APC). I run my network (cable modem, router, primary eero AP) off this, no servers. Means we can typically stay online even when the power glitches for an hour or two after a storm.

generally - things and stuff get you through times of no money better than money gets you through times of no things and no stuff. money is really a roundabout way of convincing someone to give you things and stuff, and offering shiny things and stuff is a way to get money. in the end money is for making landlords and bankers happy, its the things and stuff that help to mantle over the hard problems of real life.

> It is my impression that modern companies that care about security assume that all networks are compromised and act accordingly. See https://cloud.google.com/beyondcorp as an example.

No, you assume the network can be compromised like any other device in the system. You still defend the network and add in layers of access control. Employees of Google still use VPNs to connect into sensitive networks.

With the prevalence of 0-days and demonstration of usage by nation-state actors, you have to have multiple layers of defense to try to have any reasonable chance of preventing a compromise.
