I'm CTO at one of your target firms. Integration is a major pain point for us. We don't have a need for you now, but I've noted a few things based on what I could find on Alstonia.io. My needs are different than others, but hopefully this helps. If any consultant or agency wants someone like me to hire you, I want to see that they have used the tech we use, that I can estimate your cost reliably, that they're reliable people in general and that I can understand the code they write. The stuff about security and high availability/fault tolerance kind of comes as a matter of course.

You can check a lot of those boxes by 1) some content on your website describing previous projects (like whitepaper PDFs or long-form blog posts), 2) GitHub projects, 3) references/testimonials. Then give a giant call to action form including asking for a phone number (I hate giving out my phone number, but it seems like everyone requires it, so I imagine it would help you more than not).

Note that these needs are very different then what I'd need from an employee. For instance, I can invest in employees and give them time to learn our tech. For consultants, I can't.

If you only look at the cost you are correct. But at the same time having more people able to work increases the tax revenue of the government which in turn makes the total influence on the economy of the country not as bad. Too often people only look at costs in these scenarios. I see you are not opposed to the idea regardless but it is a thing to bear in mind :)
The majority of Amazon profit (not revenue) is from AWS. And AWS started because they already had the servers for holiday surge capacity. Was extremely lucrative, so they invested more in it. Maybe in the first years there was a loss there. They didn't start separating the numbers until 2012, and in 2015 their margins were ~25% on AWS [1]. So sure they are spending billions, but they are not spending more than they make on AWS.

Perhaps Alexa / Echo are not directly profitable as a device, but they make money from people buying stuff on Amazon.com with it, and gain that brand loyalty from it. Which has definite value. But there are estimates it costs somewhere around ~$30 to produce one [2]. So at ~$60, its very profitable. And when they sell them for $30 for a special or something, its still in the break even area. A couple sales and you are in the black.

The accusation that police changed the statement from the witness may be false or even deliberately exaggerated.

Not extactly that he is blanket full of shit or did i miss something?

But Nils onky asked Sweden to respond to the question, which they didnt do.. not even a short: sorry you got the wrong end of the stick there. Which given the attention of the case seems weird.

It also doesnt really say anything about his treatment in the uk the lack of gurantee not to be extrodited, the leaking of accusations to the press, lack of aninimity for the accused etc.

And to be clear sweden didnt respond to any of Nils' questions, why? Is the UN really just a joke? If so isnt that still really bad?

Please feel free to expand on why you dont trust a single thing he says, but at the moment your comment doesnt seem justified.
Right, but that's not as much of a Kubernetes issue as a VSCode issue. Everything's there for you to write something like this for your text editor, open source code doesn't grow on trees :).
It can't be understated what a huge impact the Lynx Blue Line (light rail) had on Charlotte's ability to shape and concentrate their growth in the past 15-20 years. Developers started planning and building around it well before it opened. Strong transit can make a huge impact on affordability, especially if it frees families up from the burden of car ownership (expensive depreciating assets with large operating costs).
It is called arbitrage in finance if i recall right.

And what should be illegal is pricing things with such huge differences between regions in same market, or have the same brand's product have grossly different quality/composition between regions.
Microphones cannot speak, but the Echo can.
You'd be quite surprised how many industrial machines. CNC, or similar run on win 95. Meanwhile the automotive industry basically depends on these machines.
And in the current model, what prevents the user from assuming the processor is dead and replacing it with an unlocked one (which will then presumably become permanently locked to the compromised motherboard)?

If you care about this specific attack scenario then make sure you check the keys with a management tool or something. It's not necessary to make the chip unusable for almost every aftermarket user just to make it a little bit clearer that a compromise has happened in that rare case.

How would you "mark something 'from web'"? This is a file after all.

There are ways to sign files (executable or not) but there is no 'from web' flag as far as I know.

Yes he did, in two parts: easy non-brute-force ways exist (as in the Monte-Carlo integration in R, he argues why it isn't brute force) and also a non-easy analytical solution exists (when at least one set of parameters are integer, in the linked cross validated post).

He also explains that easy analytical solutions often don't exists to seemingly easy questions, such as this one. That's why Bayesian statistics needs Monte-Carlo.
I am sorry to hear about your parents.

> Life is not at all simple.

This is the primary thesis of all the pro-parent arguments in this thread. And the response from a lot of people is is “Yes, and this is similar to all the other hard family-type situations that people have already found themselves in over the past few decades, and been unable to get help from work for”.

Overall if the outcome from these discussions is a recognition of what you said, and a willingness to be flexible because of people's life circumstances, I'm all for it. If anyone is benefiting from extraordinary flexibility as a parent during this time, they should try and pay it forward by recognizing other people's needs and life circumstances in the future, and being willing to accommodate them by default in the future instead of as a special dispensation.

No, because that is redundant. The microphone is part of what makes the device smart (interactive).

"Smart X" is a pretty widely used convention, where X is some not-very-interactive device which has some sort of interactive UX added to it in order to make it smart.

Many Smart TVs these days have microphones too. Should we call those "smart microphones" as well?
The question is not "Does the term grey market have a meaning?" the question posed was "Is the use of the term perpetuating an unhealthy view of commerce to advantage manufacturers?".

After you've been sold a product, the manufacturer has no authority on how you use it or where you resell it. Since the manufacturer doesn't have this authority they you can't be legally circumenvting authorized channels when reselling it.

There is nothing "gray" about second hand.
Wasn't AWS the only profitable part of Amazon, and was propping up their retail section so they could spend money on customer acquisition? Pretty sure I remember reading about this strategy -- they basically used it as a way to make it possible to undercut competitors and do things like taking a loss on shipping without basically going broke.
I like to repeat the other point of view in my own words before I offer my own. This has two effects:

Since you're spent a lot of time researching this: have you ever found a way to correlate 3rd-tier and below cities with fiber internet speeds and infrastructure? Seems like that info would be useful to a lot of people here, who are looking to move to a more rural area but are working tech jobs remote long term or even permanently and need fast internet.

Your source directly contradicts your claim

> prisoners have been digging graves on Hart Island for years

This isn’t really COVID related. Additionally, they are digging graves not necessarily burying bodies.

> is offering prisoners at Rikers Island jail $6 per hour... and personal protective equipment

So they get paid and have personal protective equipment.
>secondary cities (Grand Rapids MI)

Grand Rapids? Unaffordable? Are you looking at condos downtown? Here's[0] a 3bd/2br with 1800 sq ft that admittedly is outside of downtown a bit, but is under $1000 a month. This condo [1] is more expensive, but would be totally affordable if 2 people were able to pay $1250 in rent by themselves. Both of these were on the first page of Trulia results when I searched for Grand Rapids.

Are you suggesting it's not possible to build IoT devices with security in mind?
Actually, it is. A reasonably well-off family has more time to spend with their children, to help with school work, etc. They have more money for learning supplies (both learning toys and things related to school). They can make sure their children are nutritionally fed (not that they always do, but they have the capacity and it's more likely). The children are less likely to need to start work early in order to help support the family.

In short, being a child in a well off family results in that child being more likely to be better off later in life.
dingdingdingding We have a winner. Shifts in economics will have winners and losers. We will continue to hear more from the losers and how the new way has damaged the social fabric of x/y.

Overall, the reality of the shift has been positive for socioeconomics. More time around the people that matters most to us and beaming into work has reliaved environmental stress and unnecessary expenditures in commuting alone.

True, but we have a user-case where we have a library we could conceivably rewrite in e.g Rust and run multithreaded on the server or single-threaded inside a Webworker compiled as Wasm.

This is for a pure logic component of course
Yeah, very similar. The main reason is that you can get about 10x more height underground. You can dig about a mile deep. An Energy Vault tower is about 500 feet tall. And as mentioned below in other comments, adding more height gives you more storage per weight, so it's super important. Adding more height and weight scales quadratically while just adding more weight (in side by side towers) only scales linearly.

I was just reading the Apple IIGS Wikipedia page when I found this:

> The use of a 2.8 MHz clock was a deliberate marketing decision to limit the IIGS's performance to a level lower than that of the Macintosh, a decision that had a critical effect on the IIGS's success; the original 65C816 processor used in the IIGS was certified to run at up to 4 MHz. Additionally, as early as 1987, faster versions of the 65C816 processor were readily available, with certified speeds of between 5 and 14 MHz. Apple, however, refused to make use of the faster microprocessors (which had a negligible difference in cost, if any) and intentionally kept the machine locked down to 2.8 MHz throughout its entire production run.

It seems like Apple's consumer-unfriendly business tactics are of all times ... :(

You're absolutely correct, that was my mistake.

I think I saw that the related documents are Craig's blog posts and interpreted that table incorrectly. The tone being very similar didn't help.
DuckDuckGo is weird. Top results are useless for ‘Apple ][’ https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Apple+%5D%5B but fine for ‘Apple //e’ https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Apple+%2F%2Fe (the first one is the correct Wikipedia article — “The Apple IIe (styled as Apple //e) is the third model in the Apple II series of personal computers produced by Apple Computer”).
That's my least favourite thing about Vue. One directory per component makes so much more sense to me, not having a mix of syntaxes in a single file.

Still, Vue is my favourite tech for SPAs.
No scene intros, shout outs on startup, or extra payloads. Just a crack that makes the software work without some sort of '3rd word on page 2 8th paragraph from the manual' or only the original disk works because sector 22 is wonky or specific data. That plus the woz format which is a sector for sector copy (including extra wonky sectors). I think the most interesting one is the pinball construction kit which they only figured out a year or two ago. That one had many layers. MAME is also a good emu for Apple stuff if you want to try it too. The early mac stuff is a bit shaky due to a particular part not being emulated 100% yet.
Exactly this! Many, in particular SW devs, are very concerned with not being interrupted, because it lowers their productivity. But in my opinion, you should optimize for team productivity, not your own productivity. That can for example mean taking 5 minutes to answer a question that they could find out for themselves with a few hours of digging through the code.
I'm an outsider, but when I look at the US market there seem to be really cheap houses away from the major cities. Far cheaper than Australia.

For example:
https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-search/Rochester_...

Now I don't really know anything about Rochester. But you would be hard pressed to find anything in a city for ~50-60k in Australia. Not comparing Apples to Apples, but the 1 bedroom apartment I bought in Melbourne suburbs in 2016 was AU$265k

If I look at somewhere like Bendigo (about 2 hours from Melbourne). The cheapest houses are about 250k.

Does Australia have housing problems as well? Possibly.

Good point, this is probably my experience at a FANG talking, I was like that early in my career, based on my experience at university where it was mutually beneficial to support others. All things equal I didn't get promoted any faster than the others so I adapted my behaviour. What you experienced is what good management should actually look for, in my case that showed that the team and company goals were strongly misaligned with my personal goals.

Outside of big corporate I've seen more value in helping others, though it still makes sense to evaluate if someone is repeatedly taking up time without returning the favour when the situation arises.

To be clear, I don't think it's good to ignore people, but I think it's important to show boundaries, if someone wants something, they should be considerate and have fair expectations. A well written request considering my situation would very likely get a quick reply.

Yes, we should call smart TVs "microphones", when they're listening to our conversations.

As for Echo, the microphone is the primary purpose of the device. Home automation and ordering by voice require a microphone, not a speaker. The Echo Dot even includes a line-out port to connect to external speakers, in which case it isn't acting as a speaker at all. It doesn't include a line-in port.

Speakers don't: answer questions, set alarms, turn on lights, adjust thermostats, lock doors, call almost anyone hands-free, drop in on other rooms in your home, make an announcement to every room. (all advertised features of the Echo)

So following the convention you mentioned, it's much more a smart microphone than a smart speaker.
Keeping within the original context of “I should get extra time for my personal obligations” based on a premise of “I choose not to have kids” - I’m saying no, you don’t.

I am explicitly privileging society allowing additional time for parenting. It should not be a game of everyone gets x-days. “Use them to go to a ball game or take care of your kids. Your choice.”. It’s equivocating raiding kids with personal obligations. Our biology drives most of us to want to create life and a just society should appreciate that. Putting it on the same level as personal interests doesn’t make sense to me.

And to clarify as I have in other responses - I’m not saying it is the purpose of life. But that it’s pretty much the biological purpose. We have infinite other purposes and it’s up to each individual to find theirs and their priorities. As a society though I think we can and should privilege the raising of children.
So I recently had the opportunity to use the new composition API, which will come in V3, in a project and want to share my two cents. The project had some limitations tho: no webpack and no typescript (so basically inline x-templates and pure browser JS).

Starting of with the composition API was great. No "this", easy reuse of logic via react-like "useXYZ" hooks and a general fast development. But two things really bugged me:

* You need to be really careful when passing around values and how you handle them. Destructure a Proxy object? You instantly lose reactivity. Not using a reference to proxy object in computed? Changes won't trigger the computed function. There is a lot of magic involved and while it may seem that it takes a lot of "thinking" from you, once it doesn't work you will have to rethink and maybe even ditch some of the underlying language's features.

* "ref" vs "reactive", where "ref" is used for primitives which need a proxy object wrapper and "reactive" is used for objects/arrays. Now, my primary problem is that you again have to use specific operations based on whether your using ref or reactive. A "ref" array can be easily set to an empty array via `arr.value = []`. If you try this with a "reactive" array, you will lose reactivity; you would have to use `arr.length = 0`.

TypeScript detects a lot of those pitfalls and, IMO, it is essential when using the composition API. Without it, there is too much invisible magic happening.

If you want to look for scientific papers about the obvious correlation between melanin content and UV radiation then use google.

You should read Hume. He didn't think that casuation had anything to do with reason, but rather was a habit of the mind. You're not going to find any causal smoking gun here and you're really just blithely dismissing ideas that don't fit whatever vague, unacknowledged biases you have.
Isn't running a project more about the outcome than putting in as much time as possible? Also taking long breaks could potentially mean being AFK but still obsessing about next steps in the project. Maybe you're imagining him being on a tropical island drinking mochito's during the long breaks?
In this case "brand loyalty" is just the chrysalis of vendor lock. At first you use it because it's convenient, then the model changes and your digital ecosystem is held hostage. Microsoft did this with my generation and Office, Google is capturing the next generation with Docs and Chromebooks in every school. Amazon microphones endeavor to be brand-synonymous with smart homes of the future. The more they can integrate with your Amazon account, phone, tablet, Smart-TV, HVAC, security, grocery list, etc., the more "brand loyal" you will be.
