Paying more money is often not sufficient to get more quality, though it may be necessary to get more quality. Without visiting Consumer Reports and digging deep into Reddit, I don't know whether a $2000 refrigerator is better than the $1500 model standing next to it. I'd guess that this situation is more common than knowing that a higher priced product will be a higher quality product.

In the case of newspapers, in-depth investigative reporting was never profitable on its own. Newspapers had geographically limited oligopolies over some common kinds of advertising in the 20th century. They bundled expensive investigative reports with low cost content like sports scores and weather forecasts. They interleaved display ads through all of it. Winning a Pulitzer could raise their prestige but it was revenue from bundled, mostly low cost content that made the business profitable.

Classified advertising was particularly valuable because newspapers charged high rates and had to do no information gathering to fill those pages of the paper. Classified advertisers paid to show ads, and some newspaper buyers purchased the whole bundle just to see those ads. Craigslist was therefore the first big blow against the old newspaper revenue model.

If Google News didn't exist, I believe that some other system would have further eroded the newspaper revenue model. Maybe it would be Reddit's news subreddits, Wikipedia's Current Events portal, or a lightweight "CraigsNews" aggregator. In any case, global discovery and reach online mean that most regional news organizations have fewer, less valuable eyeballs to advertise to than they did in the 20th century.

Google gets blamed because it indexes news and has a lot of money. I don't think that Google has a lot of money because it indexes news. If Google shut down Google News and deindexed every news site, the news organization revenue problem would probably not be any better 5 years from now. The economic inefficiencies and geographic barriers of the 20th century news system produced a few positive externalities that people miss now. Legislators could try to directly fund news from taxes but they can't make people buy a newspaper to get weather forecasts again.

To my knowledge Booz doesn’t have any significant revenue from licensing.

I think to compare them, you need to break out consulting revenue from professional services from their licensing from their managed hosting (or whatever they call their cloud managed instances PaaS stuff).

I used to work for a company that had dual streams and it was important to track the difference between license revenue and professional services because they are totally different with different growth rates.

Consulting will have a pretty limited growth rate because at the end of the day they are just selling people.

Software, of course, has the potential for exponential growth.

These graphs appear to show that real, inflation-adjusted median-income is higher for Gen Z that it was for Millenials, higher for Millenials than it was for the 'Oregon Trail' cohort, higher for the 'Oregon Trail' kids than it was for Gen X, higher for Gen X than the Baby Boomers and higher for the Baby Boomers than for the Silent Generation.

Are his figures false, or is it possible that there is another factor at work? Maybe we look back at our youth with rose-coloured glasses, and maybe we look up to those older than us and fail to see how hard they worked to get where they are. I remember that my first apartment was a dive; I just now looked it up and see that it has been completely renovated, is appointed like a luxury flat and is only 36% higher in real dollars. That is not terrible. A quick check on Zillow shows units available in my original price range not that far away, in a town which is far more desirable than it was decades ago.

Edit: ah, I see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24662058 has the same graphs. I think my commentary and own figures are interesting, so I will leave them.
Gotcha, ok so specifically protocols built on TCP.

Yeah, that's a dubious claim as well. Here is how GNOME Software presents a sandboxed application:

https://i.imgur.com/VMsj6mk.png

Is it a bad interface? Sure. Is the list of permissions hard to find? Hell yes. Is the Sandboxed emblem kind of misleading? Yeah. But here (in at least GNOME Software 3.36) you see a list of the relevant permissions available to the application. Nobody is lying here.

For contrast, here is an application with a stricter sandbox:

https://i.imgur.com/lCGgA1B.png

The point here is both of these are sandboxed. Each sandbox just has particular holes in it. For GNU Octave, more than seems appropriate. Users misunderstand that in the same way people misunderstand "autopilot" and that's a good issue to bring up, but then I don't think non-technical users understand what "sandboxed" means anyway and technical users should be able to take one more gorramn step and learn that "sandboxed" obviously comes with particular limitations [at least in the present day] or it isn't going to do anything.
Passcovery updates its line of password recovery programs (September 2020)
Wait a second. We already know (since Einstein) that the speed of light is in fact the speed of causality.
To a robot, the act of moving meat into physical proximity with a switch might be considered to be an equally obscure action. As a component of a 2-factor system to prove token possession, either seems quite adequate.

The use of U2F tokens as single factor auth seems to have promulgated thanks to this implicit 3rd factor keeping the situation moderately at bay. I posit that this is largely the same reason that keys and locks remain relatively secure despite that almost all of them are trivial to bypass or duplicate. The physical access bit is just so damn inconvenient for the typical modern white-collar criminal.

"Works best on Chrome" rolls off the tongue more easily than "I've only tested this in Chrome; It probably works fine in other browsers too, but your mileage may vary and I don't really have time to help you if it doesn't"!
Nonsense. At the time MSIE was the best, the fastest and most featured (API wise) which is why people started developing for it exclusively.

Do you see a recognisable pattern here? Do you get a sense of deja vu?
That would be nice and he mentions that he can already replicate a few of the observed effects from relativity. But my point was exactly that he has (so far) not generated any testable predictions. I'd love it if he did.
Thanks!

The first thing I would do is check to see if the cuttings are producing roots. You may see budbreak on cuttings without roots, but they will soon shrivel and die due to lack of water. Try rooting the cuttings in a 75:25 perlite:peat mixture while keeping the rooting zone warm 25-29°C with a heat mat or soil heating wire. Water every other day and dip the cuttings in rooting hormone or soak the root end in hormone overnight before you start. You should get roots and budbreak in 2-3 weeks.
>"If I can buy more stuff with the same salary, hasn't my salary effectively gone up?"

That would be deflation, but we've actually had inflation over the past decades. We can ofcourse discuss how wrll we are measuring it, but generally speaking some life necessities like housing have skyrocketed in price.

For a single process on one box with one thread you can use something like that.

If you involve more than 1 box that goes out the window. Sometimes you can still get 'one timestamp' by making something else the owner of the timestamp. It also depends on your resolution of time and the process that does the ingesting. For example if that ingest process has more than one thread to handle things you can still get out of order/sametimestamp if not coded correctly.
On-prem does tend to have fewer GDPR/security concerns, but a SaaS is fine provided it is adequately controlled, and usually quicker to set up and lower maintenance cost.

Relatively simple things that SaaS companies could do to make our lives easier include:

* Ability to "claim" email domains to corporate ownership - that is, if any user tries to register with one of our email domains, they are automatically added to the corporate account with appropriate sharing and security controls (to be fair to Trello, I believe they do this - as do Apple, Google, Microsoft and a few others)

* Making OIDC/SAML/SSO a standard option rather than something you have to pay for the super-duper $15k+/month enterprise plan that you can only get after weeks of conversations with sales (if anyone from Twilio happens to read this...)

* Ensuring there is "organisation" support - with security/billing admins that can manage the account, set mandatory 2FA.

* Even just something in the sign up flows where it asks if they're setting up a business account, and if so, asks for their security/IT contact and pops them an email. Most users aren't being intentionally malicious, just they aren't aware we'd like to know (despite repeated communication that they tend to ignore!).

Long term, I think we need better industry-wide solutions to Shadow IT that don't involve invasive proxies. I haven't fully thought through what that would look like, but something like a Do-Not-Track header, but to disable users setting up accounts. Or TXT records on DNS hosts which would cause any attempt to set up an account with that email to automatically fire off to an admin user for approval, etc...

They're extremely cheap to build by LCOE if you take away the extra regulatatory fees. Fission has several orders of magnitude less levelized material throughput per unit power than any other source of electricity.

If the world got to the point where corporations could successfully scale up mass production of reactors, this could drop by a further order or two of magnitude.
The concept of updating rules underlies this model. Each rule determine the evolution of the hypergraph which is space itself, much like a cellular automata. It seems that some rules have the property that as "times goes by" the hypergraph converges to a manifold with dimension d. One can estimate the dimension of such hypergraph using, for example, the growth of the volume of balls[0].

It also seems that this concept is very generic, and many properties of the model do not depend on the dimensionality neither on the manifold or the rule itself.

Because this concept is so generic, one hopes that there is a rule that the hypergraph converges to d=3 as in our world. This would also raise questions on why in the very early universe there was a "inflationary" phase.

It makes sense if their point is that only some stuff is cheaper. It's cheap in the US to buy processed food and appliances but college and healthcare costs are pretty high, and it's hard for young people to find good housing.
There is no war involving the US that involves the US being crippled without nuclear weapons.

If you are worried about war related cannibalism, you should be far more worried about dying from nuclear annihilation...

Marxism, at least, centers on the idea that the worker should be compensated fairly for the labor/value that he or she produces. It’s in the first chapter of Capital, after all. Communism I think is about how the workers can bring about this fair compensation through politics (by the proletariat banding together, for example).
Oh yeah, you're absolutely right. I got a bit tangential. Slow establishment wouldn't matter for a stream. I'm sure it's something more like the e-commerce page load time vs conversions scenario for OP.
Stripe's Political Correctness
> Courts only said "If your server responds to an unauthenticated GET request, that's on you". Linkedin is free to stop providing that data or move it behind a login wall, they just don't want to because it helps them with SEO. Contrast that with these plugins that are absolutely accessing data behind the user's login.

Yes, exactly. Basically saying if LinkedIn was providing the data they couldn't block the data for specific people. In contrast, these plugins are collecting data that someone has chosen to make available to them. This is Facebook attempting to stop people from giving data to their competitors. This is anti-competitive. Overall the LinkedIn case said that if the user made that data available then that is on them. Not that it was an unauthenticated request, but that the data was made public and there was no attempt to bypass any privacy filters.

> Also with regards to the antitrust assertions you make, Facebook is absolutely not required to share their data with anyone. People give their data to FB, FB can do what they want with it (as long as it's within the ToS). Facebook can't stop me from also giving my data to someone else outside the platform, but they do not have to facilitate that process in any way.

One of Facebook's services is to provide that data to other services so you can use those services with that data. Saying no you can't share that data and not provide you that data in export is well, anti-competitive. This is saying "No, we don't want you to give those people that data." This is anti-competitiveness. Suing companies and preventing them from competing is predatory. You make claims that Facebook doesn't have to do these things, I feel like Facebook should be forced to allow these things. Just like we force Facebook to do other things like delete user data or make user data available (which it actually isn't doing completely last time I checked because you can't export your data and then have the exact same data on your own system.)
Can you explain why you feel that way?

MSIE also implemented some of the standards completely opposite of how they were described in the standards. So making something work with MSIE wasn't just about features it had, but the hassle of making two versions: one to deal with IE's bugs and the other for everyone else.

Given IE's install base (essentially every system with Windows, which means greater than 90 or 95% of computer users at one point), it made sense to skip support for other browsers.
I am really flabbergasted how people with low income don't look very hard for good deals, or pay for things that they shouldnt be paying for at that stage of their life.

I saw an article saying there is no place in America people can afford to live on (I forget amount). Someone shared it on social media, and I did the calculation and I knew many places that were affordable by those standards, even in a large city.

They retorted there isn't a place in America that you can find a place under 800$. I'm like .... did you look very hard? When I was in philadelphia from 2007-2009, I shared a 3 bedroom apartment with 3-4 other people for ~200$. When I wanted my own 'place', from 2009-2013 I rented a micro apartment in down town Philadelphia for 400$/month.

I'm sure prices are higher now, but there are affordable places to live, but you have to be willing to give up something: commute time, amenities, size, privacy, etc.

With income, other industries have room to complain, but not tech. my 28k TC starting salary isnt even what people are getting signing bonuses these days.
Why not just keep the wire attached to the Yubi-key, but leave it electrically floating (high-impedance state) and have the board ground it whenever it needs to be pressed? No need for mechanical triggers...
There's a bit of code duplication[0] that often emerges as a result of parsing command-line arguments in shell scripts. The duplication can be eliminated by defining[1] the set of arguments to pass into a reusable template script[2].

It was the most popular because people had to download the others themselves. It was also non-standard, so you often had to make a choice: whether to expend resources to build it for IE because it is most popular and not not worry about the rest, or "do the right thing" and use standards and then write more code to support IE as well.
I do not understand sophisticaded derivatives either. I blame this fact on my lack of exposure to such financial instruments.

You need at least 10x over an established approach to have any hope of surviving in the mid-term. The results are for batch-size 1 as well. GPUs are throughput optimized. So I wouldn't be surprised if an A100 chip would be able to outperform this for batch size >4. I still think this is a really cool architecture though.

How can Atlassian LOSE money on this level of revenues, in this market, with the combination of their tools and shifts in usage... after this long?

They used to be a small, privately controlled company with focused yet ambitious goals and an audacious vision (Build a company that will last 100 years). Then ~10 years ago they took a butt load of money, pushed big towards US enterprise and acquired what appears (to me anyway) a random set of companies that looked good at a specific market/time period but have largely faded away?

I find it quite mind boggling; there must be something going on beyond what I can see.
>Using an old 3rd party Java PPA is as foolish as it gets, as there is an official OpenJDK PPA that supports all the JDK versions for many Ubuntu releases. I'm also skeptical of the statistic you mention, since Canonical doesn't publish rankings, and download stats need to be retrieved via API on an individual repository basis.

It was from a podcast from Canonical's apopey who described precisely some of the technical decisions behind snap and why they never bothered to open source it after the disaster that was open sourcing launchpad. He knows the statistics because most of these 3rd party PPAs were hosted on Launchpad that was only run by Canonical.

>Relying on extremely incompetent users to make a general point is a strawman, not to talk about defining PPAs as "random people", as many software products have official repositories or affiliations (I take you don't use PPAs).

Systems like this should be designed for 99% of users. PPAs were designed for 0.1% of system admins, and developers, not users. They are absolutely awful UX design, they are inherently unsafe, and unreliable.

Expecting users to vet that software is safe just because the source code is available is flatly a stupid idea. 99% of users for any piece of software will have no idea what they are looking at and are incapable of vetting it. Have you vetted manually chromium, vlc, firefox, vscode etc?

Publishers on PPAs don't test against every distribution, and if they publish a package or dependency that breaks system libs than users are stuffed. Users would have little recourse. I doubt every ppa owner tests 14.04, 16.04, 18.04, 20.04 and 20.10 builds to check their ppa won't break anything.

>If we talk about the past and present, there has been no malicious attacks (or in number so small, that it's hard to find reports). So much for the "worst of the worst".

Which has inspired both RedHat and Canonical to try and move towards flatpaks/snaps instead? The reason malicious attacks aren't there is because ppas aren't that popular because for good reason people tend to main repos.

Already on snap there was evidence of people bundling a cryptominer that was detected by Canonical. You think nobody has ever attempted to build/publish malware through ppas? Please.

>If we talk about the future, there's no reason why a web of trust can't be built. "To reiterate", lots of PPAs are official, including the OpenJDK one, so if the PPAs approach happened to get traction, it'd be really a matter of software authors to build their own or to appoint somebody to do.

My web of trust is purely Canonical. I chose it when I downloaded their OS. I trust their repos and snap store. I don't need to trust random Russian PPA for any reason. If a dev wants to publish something newer, put it on the snap or flatpak store or I won't use it.

Nothing comes close to Hugo in speed.

However, before migrating I suggest:

- using Jekyll's --incremental flag

- move your asset pipeline into a separate process (webpack --watch)

- reduce any Jekyll gems (each one adds considerable overhead)

If you want to leave Jekyll, I also recommend Eleventy.
It's fast, require very little work to migrate from Jekyll, and can create pages from data.
Well that is a problem of the laws themselves. For any sufficiently large company, especially one where the CEO profits privately directly from the company profiting publicly, a portion of that money should be tied to the company directly in terms of liability. You shouldn’t have to prove the CEO was directly involved. At the level they are, the very nature of their position should have some sort of liability in regards to the actions taken by that company under their watch. It should be built into the very regulations and laws. This would hold CEOs accountable for inaction, apathy, or ignorance leading to law breaking within their company, and it would only apply to compensation for managing said company.
