Yeah, exceptions are the problem, there are many.

All the suits filed against my company in the last 35 years (2) were frivolous and we settled both of them. Good for you for winning a non-frivolous one, but in my experience (talking with other COO's) frivolous cases are very common.

It's fear of these frivolous cases that drive LOTS of behavior.

EDIT: there were threats of other suits (3-5). All frivolous.

BBR is great. It should be on by default in Linux kernel.

Unfortunately its only for TCP, so usefulness is somewhat limited outside the datacentre.

For us devs, it's sad how little software uses LEDBAT protocol for bulk downloads. All of you should be aware of the advantages and use it wherever possible. It allows bulk data transfer without slowing down priority data streams. And it works without any OS and router support.

For those with slow home connections, OpenWrt with SQM CAKE enabled is incredible. If you turn on the options for per-ip flows, it almost perfectly eliminates bufferbloat.

You'd still get the socialization anyway, you'd just have one year with a little less (and I'm not really convinced that remote socialization via remote learning is particularly helpful, whatever alternative socialization outside of remote learning is probably just as good or better).
It seems like plausible fears could be raised for food riots in our lifetimes, but not really in weeks. There's not even widespread shortages and depression era soup kitchen lines today, and those would surely preceed food riots.

I've always looked at minimum wage as an employer saying "I'd pay you less if I legally could". In workplace negotiations all of the power is held by the employer, unless you have some form of collective bargaining, and having a Government mandated minimum prevents companies from totally exploiting low paid workers.

small businesses don't foot the bill, at least not to any painful level if they're anything approaching a reasonably run business. their customers might, and having it be a blanket policy means that small businesses are not disadvantaged or penalized for not having the leverage of big businesses to distribute costs onto the rest of society (e.g., walmart and welfare).

at most, on the margin, a small business might give employees 1-2 fewer hours per week. that actually puts selective pressure on small businesses to be more efficient, and therefore more competitive with big business.

this also counters the other oft-cited rebuttal that people will lose jobs due to the minimum wage - no, they may lose an hour or two on the margin, but whole swaths of jobs aren't at stake, and their take-home will likely stay roughly the same even with fewer hours per week.

economic lag isn't particularly relevant either, because folks making minimum wage turn around immediately and spend that money. there's virtually no lag there.
Money can't buy happiness. But not having money will surely prevent it.

It would cost much more to rewrite in Rust.

Again thats why im saying that if the project would start now in 2020, all of those would be pretty good points. Right now is too late for that.

As another example, you can get just the V8 VM for instance. For start, with the ammount of solid code out there it would be nuts to talk over a rewrite..

Now imagine if we add to that, that the knowledge on JIT compilers is so difficult to grasp, that you would also need to have those same great engineers in the new language/platform you are planning the rewrite.

Giving the age of Rust, and giving you already have a bad time of finding those in the much older C++, imagine the time it takes to have the same quality people in Rust.

I know a lot of people are bully about Rust, but in reality things are not that simple.

(On the bright side, is not that hard to taught a C++ engineer to code in Rust)
It sounds like the voltage curve is all over the place as the battery phases through its chain of different chemical reactions, unlike a normal battery. I take that to mean there's no way to just measure the voltage at a given point of time to estimate capacity, hence why the statistical method was required.
Hi benmccann,
I'm Eran, one of the engineering leads on Twingate.

I'm a not Tailscale expert but as far as I understand, the biggest difference between us and Tailscale is that we allow our customers and users to continue using existing private DNS and IP addresses.
This means that users can continue accessing internal resources exactly as they did before.
From an infrastructure standpoint, as you point out with the Docker container, Twingate is also incredibly easy to deploy.
No need to install Twingate on every single destination service, you can just install our connectors on the relevant network segment and we'll take care of routing traffic to the appropriate destination.
Making the product as easy to use and deploy is the primary guiding principle for our product, and we're getting great customer feedback around that.

Eran.

The anti-min-wage / free market argument ignores a key fact: as a society we have decided we won't let people starve to death. So, if someone can't make ends meet, we will (via taxes) support them, at least to some extent.

This support factors into the wage negotiation, allowing the employer to force a lower wage (absent a state imposed min). Absent state sate welfare style support many low wage (min and sub-min) jobs would simply not work, people could not feed themselves, and they would not accept the jobs.
> In that research, Rust had the same overall count of bugs and even some 'zero day' sort of ones not any different from C++ and C codebases (maybe just better than the C one).

That's actually not entirely true. One of the problems was the program taking too long to compete due to suboptimal algorithm. The GitHub repo showed that the tests were run using debug version of the Rust binary. It worked fine when people tried to reproduce using the release version.

For the other two problems, not many details were given, but both programs panicked immediately with the given input. That's still better than any kind of undefined behaviour or silent error.
Is the goal for people to receive a certain amount of money? There are many approaches to this.

Is the goal for companies to pay some people (specifically, those employed) a certain amount of money? There are fewer approaches to this.

Is the goal to shift the distribution of revenue in a company? There are fewer approaches to this. A minimum wage is a poor one.

Sure, but the quote:

"they managed to do something that was previously unimaginable in business theory - create a mass-market luxury good."

Is not about that. It is about the (perceived) impossibility of a mass-market luxury good.

But "mass-market" is a term for broad appeal/sales (dictionary: "the market for goods that are produced in large quantities"), not for over-the-top revenues.

And as for that, more people have Nike shoes than have an iPhone. But even if 1/15 as many had, it would still a mass-market good, with luxury price / appeal.
It seems like there is a lot of hostility toward protocol labs (among others doing stuff with “blockchain”). However, everything they build is free and open source. They’ve gone to considerable length to make their libraries modular and support a multitude of languages.

Libp2p is the best peer-to-peer utility I’m aware of (please share if you know of comparable others). This in it self is a massive undertaking.

Multiformats is brilliant. A few simple tweaks to the way we form address open so many doors.

IPLD is supports json, cbor, protobuffers, git and more. All of which tie together really nicely in to the multiformat addressing and utilized by IPFS.

Literally everything they do is open source and free to use how ever you want. If you find a bug, fix it. If want support for something new, propose it.

Their projects are frustrating sometimes with regard to understanding the nuances of decisions that were made (such as /p2p vs the overloaded /ipfs) but they’re not building pay per use service like AWS S3, they’re building an open source community and they deserve at least a look at their source code before writing them off.

> Today’s startups have a biologist talking about wet labs on one side and an AI specialist waxing on about GPT-3 on the other, or a cryptography expert negotiating their point of view with a securities attorney. There is constant and serious translation required between these domains, translation that (I would argue mostly) prevents the fusion these fields need in order for new startups to be built.

Is that all that different from a software engineer with little customer facing experience teaming up with a non-technical cofounder who does?
Why would you go through the pain of all this, just make the copy of the case and mimic the software UI - underneath it can be all of your custom hardware and software. No need to bother Apple. This is how most of the fake iPhones are made in China.
iPhone cameras are pretty good and they're very thin. Front or back.
Illegal immigration is a side effect of minimum wage. And minimum wage puts unskilled Americans (or Americans whose skills aren't valuable because of a changing market) at an unfair disadvantage in their attempts to obtain employment and acquire new skills.

Sorry if that wasn't clear in my post.
Yep. There's variance. I have one kid who can crush online classes sporadically and do tons of heads-down work with minimal supervision and is just six years old.

The other one is almost ten and is on ADHD medication, has borderline personality disorder issues, and while very intelligent, has problems with authority and can't focus online very well.

There's a huge randomness factor that goes into everything, including having kids. It's not deterministic.

If the wormhole travels all the way to the core, then it will relocate about half of the star to the other end. If the wormhole can be closed, then it would act as a giant pizza cutter for stars. Potentially very useful to defuse supernovas. Or to utterly annihilate your enemy's stronghold...

What would happen is more complicated to answer if the wormhole stays open. The star would effectively have double the surface area, but apart from that, the consequences for the star's future development elude me right now.

> You're just asserting this without any argument or evidence.

I don't think it's a controversial statement at all. Even then, my argument was just in the next sentence.

> Workers don't specifically need a job at that company.

Nor companies specifically need a job filled by a given worker. It's a statement about general needs. If a company finds no satisfying candidates, they can deal with leaving that post open. If a worker doesn't find a satisfying job, they will still take something because they need to eat.

> Even if they need a job, they can go work somewhere else.

Doesn't make a difference if "somewhere else" offers the same low wages. Which is what happens, because most companies have the same incentives and the same lack of limits to push wages below livable levels.

> Even if you want to do this, it still makes minimum wage a ridiculous policy, because it harms the same workers it's purporting to help

The OP linked article shows that there's no clear evidence on whether minimum wages destroy employment or not.

> When there are policies that do only one and not the other (e.g. UBI)

Of course UBI or UGI policies would be far better, and would remove the need for a minimum wage. However, they work in the same direction: give more power to workers to offset the power of negotiation that business have. And, being pragmatic, a minimum wage increase is far more likely to be accepted, at least in the short term, than UBI.
> any of the people employed at very low wages have attributes which mean that they are not worth hiring at higher costs.

Unless the job needs to be done, which is generally the case among minimum wage workers. That was my point. You need cleaning staff, and retail workers, and what not. You still hire them even if they cost more. People don't have intrinsic prices. It's not like an old person costs exactly $4.32 an hour and therefore is unable to find work if the minimum wage is $7.25.
I hope someday maybe we have a browser completely written in Rust.

Years? No. And if you want to improve the peer review process, lobby for paying reviewers (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11192-017-2310-5).

Regardless, I stand by my original point. I prefer peer-reviewed analysis. The alternative is a free-for-all where junk claims equal weight with legitimate science. Such a system is usually supported by folks whose work can’t make it through the traditional system.
Studies show that, up to a point, money actually can buy happiness. But more money doesn't automatically equate to more happiness.

People who are middle class are more happy than people who are dirt poor. Rich people aren't necessarily any happier than middle class people, but both are, in the aggregate, happier than poor people struggling to survive.

Less flippantly: pedagogically, there's a big difference between "here's your addition tables, memorize them" and "if I have 1 of _anything_ and another 1 of that same thing, I now have 2 of that thing." The latter offers way more opportunities for further thought: by that logic, if I have 2 things and I take 1 away, I now have 1 thing! If I have 2 rocks and 2 sheep, I can count the sheep by laying out 1 rock per sheep! And since I can add more things, maybe there are more numbers for those amounts of things too? And what about differently-sized things? Or parts of things? Or...

That's the difference between getting "1 + 1 = 2" across as a literal by-the-book fact, and getting it across as an invitation to build / connect ideas and ask further questions.
Yeah, I thought of that after I replied to your comment and I guess you'd have to use some standard mass located a standard distance.

I'd imagine a unit people would use would be the gravitational force exerted by an object the size/mass of the sun located 1 AU away from the wormhole. Though I imagine there would be some more fundamental unit for measuring this kind of thing.

Mercedes is selling cars with an engine that weighs 354 lbs, with just 2 liters of volume. Now 354 lbs is still pretty heavy, but it's 354 lbs with fluids and accessories.

Some (many even) of those accessories have equivalents on a Tesla that aren't included in saying it weighs 75lbs, like pumps for coolant and the AC compressor
I think you're confusing necessary and sufficient conditions. The article isn't claiming that this argument style leads to happiness (ie, that it is sufficient), merely that other argument styles lead to unhappiness (ie, that it is necessary). But plenty of other things can go wrong along the way; just because you argue correctly doesn't mean you will have a happy relationship.

(Of course, whether or not it is actually necessary is open for debate.)

And it doesn't matter that the boss doesn't produce anything and that you drive all the work, respect the boss because he might feel offended otherwise.

The labor market is a free market. If you don't agree the employer offer is fair, you don't have to accept. When you find a better offer, you go to the better offer.

As for minimum wage, it is hurting the unskilled workers, like high school students, college students who are looking for experience. If you are stuck in a minimum wage job, then this is what the market is paying for your skill set. If you think you worth more, then proof it, don't blame the system.

When I was in high school, I was working in an unpaid internship to get some experiences. I don't know if there is any unpaid internship now or if it is even legal now.
