This. While the amount of runway can be debated, the sheer number of American powerhouse businesses that saw a single month of dipped revenue and started screaming for possible bankruptcy showed A LOT.

The way we do business today is casually over leveraged and sold as normal.

We are not building stable, 100-yr organizations that support people and their livelihoods. We’re building huge ATM machines that siphon massive amounts of future opportunity from a 1000 people and exchanges it for massive short term gain for 1-100 people.
I think someone who's not Indian could easially interpret that statement as completely neutral. Like if I said oh, $candidate is also from New Jersey, that's cool.
Not my experience at all. They invited me to parties and insisted that I eat with them. Like if I was late to some mini-celebration, they'd ask me why I did not come earlier. They always spoke english at the meetings I attended. I did find them extremely political and manipulative, also browbeating me in work tasks. They did the same to my Indian colleague. But they didn't try to exclude me.
What did you pick? I'm interested in non-G solutions.
And you lack empathy.

I'm pretty sure the electron browser engine moves slower than Blink.

If so, it would be extremely unhelpful for development and debugging since you would rarely have the latest engine on your machine, which would be the engine the majority of your customers would be on.

Using an external browser makes a lot of sense in that regards, and also, it separates the testing engine from the application itself, which allows for (although I doubt it's been implemented yet) testing in different browsers, or different versions of browsers, etc.
>> It's absolutely not okay to discriminate candidates by something like caste, or social status

> Caste no, social status? Absolutely, happens all the time. It’s very easy to proxy social status based on interests, hobbies, mannerisms, etc. Those that don’t pass the sniff test, are deemed “bad culture fits”.

Isn't that pretty much the definition of caste-based discrimination?
I was talking to my team recently and we realised there's 2 reasons why we use facebook these days: marketplace and events.
> How is it different from HDMI or LAN cables? There the cables also define capability so "cables that look identical don't actually work the same way".

In theory yes. In practice most of the cables are good enough for most users - e.g. in a home LAN cables are probably 10m at most, so even a cat5 cable can probably give people a connection that's as fast as their internet uplink. If the problems with USB-C are common enough to impact normal users (and I think lack of thunderbolt falls into that category) then that's a major difference in practice.
This is probably off-topic but on a very broad level, from a privacy point of view I think it is important to separate 'service provider' (controlling the instance of your data) from 'software' developer / 'hardware' maker (controlling the mechanisms of your data privacy), no matter who and how open-source they are.

I'm not sure this instinct applies much to this situation, but it immediately came to mind. Vertical integration is where user privacy (from service providers) starts to erode.

Ideally, we should have competing but inter-operable service providers on common platforms and protocols which have nothing to do with the service providers.
Now do government spending.
Please stop with this "10x ballpark" stuff. It just leads to absurd conclusions. For example, 10x 34 million is 340 million, leaving 7.4 billion people yet to be infected, or about 20x more than currently. 20x the number of deaths would be 20 million people. That's horrific. I don't want to even think about that. I absolutely hate this calculus. Instead I want to stop this pandemic from getting worse, and we can and should have been working together to limit the spread of this thing.

I'm absolutely tired of having this conversation because it's been 6 months of this throwing around bullshit numbers (only .1% die! no only 1% die! no only 2% die! oh look it's back to 1.5%!) and people arguing from what is basically a completely selfish point of view where nothing changes, nothing impacts their lives. When in reality every time we have this conversation the absolute numbers have another zero on them.

Even back when it was only 50,000 cases worldwide, experts were warning of potentially millions of worldwide deaths. And idiots were arguing not to shut things down and not to wear masks because it was overblown. Goddamn. God damn. Now there are literally one thousand times as many cases. Now 1 million people are dead. And the conversation is still the same. We'll have this argument again and again and forever and the millions of dead will keep ticking by because so many people are completely unserious about dealing with this. It is absolutely disgraceful so many people putting their own money and entertainment above the lives of others and don't even have the decency to wear goddamn masks. Sickening.

Sorry, I don't mean to unload on you personally because your comment wasn't the above, but goddamn I am so tired of this throwing around numbers game. Can we just fucking fight this virus already?

> That said, there is evidence that the other coronaviruses that caused epidemics (SARS and MERS) can cause clinically meaningful myocarditis and heart failure as a result.

It'd be interesting to know how it compares to the flu. Here's an interesting study from just this year:

> A CDC study looking at more than 80,000 adult patients hospitalized with flu over eight seasons found that sudden, serious heart complications were common, occurring in 12% of patients, or 1 in 8.

Why it has to be continuous? I know it is important and wider coverage. But can it be N^n instead? Those point can be Neigbour as well for f and f-1. Discrete information space is important to well this is HN and computer oriented.

I am also working on Zeno ... and I argue that discrete information space cannot solve so is continuous.

My ultimate is 2 dim with only 1 dim is continuous and maps to [0,1] like qm (as imaginary number or a real number orthogonal to the other real number).
The only bug that ever beat me in my two decades coding was in a custom lock free data structure using an early version of c++11. I spent a month on it, including writing custom visualization and logging tools, but I never found the issue that caused a crash once every few hundred billion operations.

Later I saw some suspicious compiler bug fixes around compare and swap, and I still wonder if that was maybe it.

For what it's worth, JWZ said this of Mozilla a few days ago on his blog:

"Back to Mozilla -- in my humble but correct opinion, Mozilla should be doing two things and two things only:

1. Building THE reference implementation web browser, and

2. Being a jugular-snapping attack dog on standards committees.

3. There is no 3."

The solution to the caste system in India is actually very simple. Religious conversion. Ambedkar was a visionary who himself converted out of Hindu religion and gave up his 'caste'.

Caste is essentially the same as feudalism, but unlike other regions of the world where feudalism was a societal concept, it became a religious one in India. Buddhism for example is an Indian religion but Buddha was explicitly against the concept of caste-by-birth. Abrahamic religions are also devoid of the concept of caste.

So whenever there are any caste issues, it's always two Hindus involved. Upper caste hindus don't probe the caste of a person if they hear a Christian/Muslim/Buddhist name because they know that it won't exist.

Because of how easy it is to give up caste, lower castes have been doing religious conversions in India in large numbers. The so called upper caste , only make up 30% of Hindu population and if all lower castes were to convert then Hinduism would become a minority in India. To prevent this mass exodus, various states of India have been coming up with anti-conversion laws which make it really hard for people to convert. Though I really don't understand why lower caste dalits in the US continue to stay Hindu, when they could just change their religion and avoid the whole caste discussion altogether.

Switched and started paying when Reader shut down, haven't regretted it.
Some of what you are saying is true but I had a good experience with Indians maybe because I knew how to react to it. But Indians are extremely diverse. My wife is Brahmin, and I am white, and I've been around Brahmins as a result. I have found Brahmins who come to the US often are not particularly religious but still practice some of old customs. They complain about a lot of Brahmin hate in India and like escaping from it in the US. There are some subtleties though.

* Indians from India like old ways of addressing superiors. They appreciate if you call a manager Sir. Address him as Dear Sir.

* Religious Brahmins would not tolerate being around a Dalit because it will adversely effect their purity. There are terms for all this. Aversion to Dalits is deeper than culture, it's a religious belief. This might even be protected by religious freedom. Less religious ones I don't think care as much. Very religious Brahmins in general do not get high paying jobs and do not have a lot of power but also would hold the most discriminatory views.

* Indians have a culture of going the extra mile at work. So I think in general they don't appreciate the American view of work.

* Indians from India prefer being around other Indians but I think they also don't understand Americans well and think the American work environment is strange.

* There are a lot of horrible things that happen in India and it's not just one group that does it. There isn't really any one universally accepted victim group there. There are billionaire Dalits.
I've been to a couple cat cafes where I've noticed the cats are a little anti-social. Instead of forcing interaction, most of my time is spent observing the cats.

I imagine part of it could be a stressful environment, but my hypothesis is that in the cat-cafe-shelters that allow for adoption, the most personable and social cats end up getting adopted. This is probably the case with regular animal shelters as well.

In general, bitmap fonts are not copyrightable in the United States. Scalable fonts like TrueType and so on are protected as computer programs, but typefaces are not copyrightable and bitmap fonts are just direct representations of the typeface.

Other countries have different treatment of typefaces, though.
Oh, I'm completely with you. I think it's a consequence of having been to larger cities (like in SoCal) for an extended period of time, but having been born and mostly lived in the MidWest sticks.

Simply put, for the majority out here, improvement is absolutely futile. They truly, genuinely, simply do not care. At most, if you can get through to them what's actually happening, you'll be glad to know that they'll quite happily want to double down on support of them, just to fuck people who want to "improve" things over.

I've personally become utterly cynical towards it. Leaded gasoline and paint, among other things, was just too much of a hell of a drug. It's going to take a generation or two and the majority of the current base to die out before improvement can happen. Very shitty reality. Some who haven't seen it will find it unfathomable, but I can't blame them.

I'm just trying to get the fuck away from all of this as fast as I can, though I'm failing miserably.

Sorry to be so pessimistic.
Phoenix ships with Ecto ORM-style-binding to Postgres underneath (usually) for a good reason! :) And if you need that in memory magic where the serial nature of a genserver won't suffice for your load, you basically have built-in Redis with Erlang's ets. And if you really need insane performance on longer-cached items than ets is optimal for, Discord released https://github.com/discord/fastglobal

And if you don't want to put all those pieces together, like you said there's a rich set of modules people have built, like oban. Long rise and live the elixir monoliths ;) (although admittedly even Discord had to swap out some of their most intense functions with Rust, but how many people are writing systems that need to handle millions of concurrents?)

I keep in touch with so many friends who I probably wouldn't have otherwise using social media. You could argue that maintaining so many relationships is unhealthy but I think it's a good thing to keep friends that I've cultivated over the last decade of my life. And usually when I need to get stuff done it's nice to have friends to call upon who are interested in helping.

The internet can be used for a lot of good and it sounds like you're argument is akin to saying telephones are bad because of call center scammers.

Sugar has a lot of important properties in many food products beyond making it sweet. It’s important in the browning, bulking, and springiness of a lot of foods. People who simply say don’t eat sugar dont seem to understand you need to replace it with something. Using a rare sugar fiber or some other kind of carbohydrate is a good place to start.

I think it actually makes sense, potentially, as a way for FB to try and circumvent the publisher vs. platform debate.

If they can credential experts based on some metric that isn't based on their editorial discretion, they have more grounds to call themselves a "platform." Not saying I agree, but makes sense given their position.

It is anecdotal, but one example is professional baseball player Eduardo Rodriguez. He had COVID-19 in early July which resulted in myocarditis. He wasn't even cleared to walk on a treadmill until this week[1]. While he is expected to return to form eventually, team officials had said they don't expect him to be completely back to normal next season even though the season doesn't start until April[2].

This virus isn't something you want to mess with even if you are young and fit.

Caste exists among some Muslims too. Lower caste women bear the brunt of it because of their low social status. So no its not irrelevant. They suffer so much precisely because they are lower caste even in your examples.
