I think the "what right do you have" or "can you force someone" phrasing is adversarial and can't drive a conversation.

Lets instead look at distilling the universal access idea to its essence, we need

1) A capital pool to fund the program
2) A legislative framework that
2.1) Lays out the products and services and the pricing of those
2.2) Allows for price negotiation based on geography and other market driven criteria
2.3) Drafts fines for inappropriate behavior - excessive billing, using unapproved medication, etc
2.4) Defines licensing terms for a provider to bill the government

Now #1 is no different from any other regular insurance, you collect individual payments at the federal level. #2 would also be federal legislation. #2.4 would be similar to how medicare-certified hospitals operate.

Now the question really becomes - why would any provider not take this deal? Certainly, there could be several reasons, and those can be addressed on a case by case basis. But the point I want to make is, we can start small, maybe we only tackle preventative care at first.
I'm currently reading High Output Management which is 25 years old. So your comment addresses the time where the book was written.

Grove certainly sends quite utilitarian vibes. He also says that a collaborative culture is important. Your comment suggests that neither he nor his successors managed to make Intel's culture collaborative enough.

Higher management is probably often an iterated prisoners dilemma. Collaborating is best for the company but defecting is good for the ambitious manager.
How did they get funding for this study? Did Big Chili Pepper fund it?
Is the government so inept that it can’t do it’s policing itself? Why are search companies being forced to police the internet for the police? If there was a business down the street doing illegal gambling, I would not say “hey let’s just stop buses from taking people there.” Hell no. Any decent police would go stop that business from operating, not go to the bus companies taking people there.
You're right about shooting an animal that is attacking you in self defense. Notice how that's also allowed in the human domain (shooting a human who is threatening your life).

I think for anyone who feels like the trade off between getting good nutrition and hurting animals in the process is acceptable, must learn what the current treatment of animals is, and not turn a blind eye, thinking it's "decent enough" for the tradeoff to work.

I strongly recommend everyone watch Earthlings.

The moral discussion you are trying to have at some point becomes uninteresting to me. It begins to sound akin to "what if, hypothetically, slaves enjoyed being enslaved?". It's not a bad question to ponder, it really probes deep at some of our hidden assumptions, and we can learn something about morality while thinking about it. But I'm currently more interested in the absolute moral catastrophe that is happening now: billions of animals are being tortured every day, and so many people are unwilling to decrease the amount of money they give to the corporations that do the abuse.
I have convinced a few people to participate. For non-technical people, get them to install the mobile app - there's less barrier to entry and people "understand" installing apps these days.
You put it so well, having worked in both large and small companies - I can attest to this theory. An exception might be SpaceX where you have a strong dictator at the top and any annoyances of tribal war get direct authoritarian spanking.
For some people delivery is quite useful and essential in their lives and gives them some independence. During some of the lockdowns in Canada drive-thru and delivery were some of the only options for getting food. And places without a drive-thru were forced to rely a lot on delivery apps.

Unfortunately you'd think it is a choice, but in today's day in age a restaurant cannot afford to skip being on the delivery apps. People are lazy and are likely to just not order from a place if they don't see it on a delivery app. No one I have talked to has ever been happy with the way the apps work. However part of the problem is that most people don't know how much these apps are screwing over the restaurant. I have talked to people who were happy to have so many options of local places on these delivery apps and were happy to be able to support them. But they did not even know that these companies were taking such a huge cut of the money that it meant those local companies often weren't making profit on the orders at all.

Even various leaders in different provinces were making statements publicly asking food delivery companies to not be greedy and to lower fees: https://mobilesyrup.com/2020/10/16/premier-ford-food-deliver...
If I store data from different sources in the same sqlite db file, is it possible to do joins?

I think that there are a lot of use cases if I can join data from different sources of my knowledge base
Thanks for your reply HelloNurse,

If I'm understanding you correctly and reading a bit between the lines, you'd recommend a move toward either a new product (within the same space?) or take a bigger drink of the Splunk kool-aid and move on to architecture.

I noticed you didn't mention CTI at all. I ass-ume that you're recommending the Splunk Engineer side more (they can also get into architecture, so that fits your description)?
Any competition with sufficient rewards attracts this kind of toxicity eventually and that is why larger companies are usually the worst. Getting a promotion at a small company in the EU or in the midwest USA means you get maybe 10k/year extra. Getting to the next rung in FAANG (or Intel, apparently) can mean hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years, so it's not surprising people are a lot more willing to backstab their peers in those places.
I have trusted Apple with my phone for basically forever, but my work and personal computer going on the fritz made me seriously reconsider this relationship. I do not want my laptop to be like my cell phone. I frequently write crappy programs on my computer, and I've been totally fine with the earlier implementation of warnings unless you navigate to the application directory and explicitly open it and accept the warnings. As per the question, "Who better than Apple?", I wanna do bad all on my own. I do not have the technical ability to make a Linux laptop as good in terms of industrial design or hardware responsiveness (the touchpad on the laptop and the desktop version are the best user input devices ever for me), and that is what keeps me on their products. Otherwise, I'd be full time Linux again. I'm so confused as to whether or not to jump ship, and I feel like if I do I will be walking the plank
Nobody in this discussion has presumed such a thing.
No. If a margin call came in a down market, it would wipe out my emergency fund; that’s the exact opposite of “saving like a pessimist.” If I have $90 to invest, then I have $90 to invest; I’m not going to gamble with someone else’s money whatever the odds.
By posing false dichotomies:
"do you trust Apple is acting in your best interests, or do you believe they're a malevolent entity?"

It's perfectly reasonable to believe that Apple is acting in Apple's best interest without attributing malevolence.

By downplaying rational arguments:
"I think the privacy arguments are far-fetched (because others are worse)"

By using loaded terms:
"Dogwhistles

The privacy squad mobilised"

Presenting strawmen:
"if I have the code, build the code, nothing can hide in the code. This is a fallacy that people buy in to thanks to effective marketing "

Lying by omission:
"It's not feasible for an individual to maintain the list of trustworthy or untrustworthy parties that Apple does."

It's perfectly feasible for a group of individuals. I'll take any group distro maintainers over Apple's word.

He really doesn't just sound like an Apple apologist; he is one.
Much of this blog post speaks to my experience (probably because we went to the same school at pretty much the same time).

That said, I think the thesis is a bit overstated. The reason many more Harvard CS students talk about Google > Stripe is not because Stripe is not prestigious (it obviously is, and plenty of super talented students go there). It's because Google hires a ton of Harvard CS grads, whereas many late-stage startups do not hire as many new grads, nor do they have as large of hiring pools. They're going to have an obviously larger impact on the sorts of jobs people discuss.

The same thing with GS, Jane Street, or Citadel, because they actively recruit at Harvard through on-campus recruiting and hire a comparatively large portion of Harvard graduates.

This is related to the other reason that companies like Google are talked about much more than mid-stage startups: the school on your diploma has much larger impact at these big, more calcified companies than it does on startups where individual hires could help make-or-break the company. And places like McKinsey or Bain basically hire many students so they can tell clients they have a team of Harvard grads working on the problem.

> they assume their intelligence insulates them from peer pressure.

If you come into Harvard with this notion, I can't really see how you stay with it after your first recruiting/punch season. And, honestly, Harvard undergrads aren't that smart.

yes you can.
There's a difference between testing your knowledge (that is, simply trying if what you learned actually works), and being tested on your knowledge (that is, being judged on what was taught, which is what unfortunately happens in schools.)
Is it really that meaningful to talk about disruption if the product being disruptive isn’t available on a general market?
In this case, it says they used 500 mg of ketamine in an injection, so basically they killed him with an excessive dose. Even though ketamine might have a higher LD50 you can't compare drugs without knowing the dose they are using.

It seems like a straightforward tradeoff of IPC vs scalability.

They are able to shovel transistors at the core because there are only 4 of them. AMD on the other hand is packing 64 cores into a package, so each core has to make do with less.
Personally I'd be very much more fine with them honestly stating: you get a compute resource, don't expect to control it, pay a monthly fee.

Would I sign up for that? Certainly not. But if that sounds unattractive, then they should just accept that when you sell something and the buyer owns it, you don't control over anymore.

I keep pushing this distinction in DRM contexts, too. It's kinda my personal soapbox. :)
Way to speak for another person's intentions AND feelings! That's where we are nowadays, I guess.

It's their article, I think it's fair they ask for the name of the post to be preserved. It has nothing to do with their intent (clickbait or not) that the audience here voted up their submission.
That's why I commute to the office via horse — so I don't need to deal with those fascists at the DMV. Sure the costs of boarding and hay and horseshoes pile up, but at least I'm not being hassled by The Man.
I recently watched the social dilemma from netflix, they touched the serious matters and presented well but what disappointed me was the lack of awareness about these alternatives. It would have been of great help if they provided references to projects like matrix and fediverse.
First (and I'm no expert here) I don't believe that (x)nm is the be all end all of cpu performance. Architecture still matters.

Second, perhaps the AMD/Apple fan boys have not noticed but Intel has many times the volume of AMD and whatever ARM volume Apple will have (Apple is typically 10% of lap/desktop sales, up this year from Covid). The world requires Intel to meet its computing needs and no magic wand will give the other guys that capacity anytime soon.

It is way to early to count Intel out.
Is this even serious question?

You really think I need DNS to edit my photos, videos, write some music, compile / build my products etc. etc ? And if needed for many things I can use my own DNS services. To post my freshly built product I do not need Apple's DNS. Can do with my own.
AMD came back from being second fiddle in the right market. Intel would have to come back from being first fiddle in the wrong market.

Hasta la Raíz by Natalia Lafourcade

She's one of few artists that I can listen to her entire discography as a playlist and enjoy every single song.

I love finding new music in other languages so I appreciate this post.
From my reading articles at the time and me waiting for Android phones to become available before the iPhone was even announced I thought all that apple had to do was scale an SOC to their massive production level other peoplehadd already figured out the computing.
I enjoyed math in high school and some of college, but I could never understand, and it wasn't explained, how to apply it to anything in my life, so I thought of it as basically just fun puzzles and after finishing the required classes I majored in something else.

Decades later, I'd like to start learning it again but still want to know how to apply it for practical purposes. Where can I find this kind of approach?
I am all for the pilot program so long as the politicians pushing for this are charged as accessories to any crimes committed against the people they are going to put at risk.

This is the very definition of insanity. In other words, ignoring reality and pretending that a fantasy in someone’s head is real.

My father in law is a retired cop. One of the most harrowing stories he tells is about when he and his partner entered this four unit apartment building. The kind where you open the front door and there are four doors along a short hallway.

The call was for yelling and screaming (a loud argument) from one of the units at 2:00 AM.

They opened the front door (unlocked) and stepped into the hallway to look for the apartment.

That’s when someone comes out of one of the apartments and immediately fires a gun towards them, emptying the entire clip.

His partner got shot twice. He was grazed once.

The guy ran off. Other cops arrested him later.

The vast majority of people are good. We don’t have cops to hand lollipops to kids playing at the park. We send armed cops into the worst possible situations and expect them to be buddhist philosophers. Sorry, that’s not the real world. Not when your job requires you to engage with multiple people a day, any one of whom could kill you.

Those of you who think you can philosophize with someone intent on killing you should take a weapons martial arts class to understand reality. Having done so myself for decades I can tell you I don’t want anyone with a knife any closer than 16 feet, maybe 20. Even someone relatively slow and without training can bridge a 20 foot gap and kill you with a knife before you know what happened.

People (and politicians) love to voice opinions about this stuff and yet none of them are willing to put their lives on the line as part of the experiment they propose. I’ll have respect for them when, armed with a candy bar and good intentions, they go face someone who could potentially kill them. We’ll see how long their plans survive contact with reality.
> Not to mention buying their own hardware will obviously save them.

Maybe, maybe not. Apple doesn't currently produce servers, so it would probably take a lot of time and money for them to build out that capability to the point where it's break-even or better compared to just buying commodity hardware.
Competition is good for markets. There's still not enough competition in the general CPU market, but it's getting closer: Intel, AMD, Apple, Qualcomm, Samsung, Broadcom.

Intel has money and equipment and existing market share: there's no reason for them not to be profitable for the long term, as long as they stop acting like they don't have any competition (as they did until 2018) or that their only competition is AMD (as they currently are pretending).
I’ve thought about this too, and came to a different conclusion. The primary reason is just because the markets haven’t collapsed more than 85% over a months long period before, doesn’t mean it won’t in the future. And, my marginal utility for money gets so high below a certain level, that it’s not worth risking this outcome when the marginal utility of more money is relatively smaller.
Thank you for trying logseq!
So? Consider 3 aspects:

1. Power efficiency (read: battery life)
2. Performance
3. Openness

99% of consumers only care about 2 of those. The more that time goes on, the more it becomes clear that prioritizing openness, in particular for hardware, is a direct trade-off against building a great consumer product.

You city people with your public transit. :D Doesn't really work when half the people I know live more than an hour's drive away.
Problem is that only people with bad empathy enjoys it since otherwise you can see through peoples superficiality. So going through the motions and pretending to like each other doesn't work with/for many.
I use glasswire which kinda some some of this. In addition to your list I would also be interested in setting up my homelab to monitor and detect rogue traffic that would have caught my phone doing what was described in the article.

Not just attracts - rewards and cultivates, too. People already working somewhere don’t have immutable personalities. If an employer is a bad influence on its employees, problems will manifest not only with new hires.

Cool demo. I couldn’t figure out how to make an account though.

I think this would need serious widespread adoption until we saw benefits too. And you’d need some big names...like Google. Which probably will never happen.
And of course downvote without having shred of evidence supporting the original claims.
My company uses Matrix for internal collaboration. We use Element. It is quite good. Element is quite buggy tho.

I still don't get what is the maximum storage we can use, is it unlimited?
For two main reasons -

1. Git support - Having the history of all your changes is wonderful. I never have to worry about a note being accidentally deleted. It's also great for collaboration.

2. Mobile App - Joplin's mobile app really leaves a lot to be desired and is lacking a lot of essential features. Eg - Browsing your notes in a grid view similar to Google Keep, or linking your notes together using the wiki link format.
Fair points, I should have re-read it after seeing the GP’s comment.
Ketamine not helping is not the same as ketamine killing. If paramedics had instead applied bandaids, those bandaids would not have helped him, but that's no reason to claim he was killed by bandaids.

On one hand, you have cops trying to pull the man's head off, starving his brain of oxygen. On the other hand, you have a sedative that is renowned for being safe, administered in a quantity that should be safe a few times over. How in the world people look at this situation and blame ketamine instead of the cops is completely beyond me.
From the Anandtech article[1] on the M1, I think this is referring to the reorder buffer, or ROB. Reorder buffers allow instructions to execute out-of-order, so maybe that's where the "OO" comes from.

> You could tell three things about Bill Gates pretty quickly. He was really smart. He was really competitive; he wanted to show you how smart he was. And he was really, really persistent.

Of course he was also a lier (vapor ware). And a cut throat business man.

You might like nowadays Bill Gates philanthropist, but there is a reason people hated him for decades. I don’t understand why retrospectives on him ignore this side.
> Why would I assume any company would act in my interests when they have clear incentives to increase their profits and control by acting counter to them?

I get what you're saying, but (as an Apple fanboy) I have to point out that Apple's incentives are to act in your, the customer's, interests since that is what they are selling now. They are differentiating themselves from the Googles by taking user privacy seriously.

If they act against that they lose their key advantage.

Trust but verify perhaps?
No looking at the destitute and feeling that wealth redistribution is a good solution with a pithy slogan is not greed.
Moving their own servers to Apple Silicon would save a lot of money, buth when buying as well as operating the machines. But once they do, resurrecting the Xserve should be a further source of income and raise the chip volume (which drives down costs). Imagine the margin on an Xserve powered by Apple Silicon vs. having to buy Xeon chips.

I am not sure this is all the story, the specific way in which you bet matters too.

Consider investing in daily leveraged ETFs in contrast with non-leveraged ones, for example.

I like the OP don't use margin. Long term it will lead to trouble, it may work for a little while but long term the trend is against you. Especially when you have a larger account they will give you 4x margin, this is a great way to loose a lot of money quickly if the market makes a quick turn against your positions. To be clear the market invariably at some point will quickly turn against you!!

In my opinion, and practice, emergency funds should not be used for investments ever, this includes covering the losses from investing. Yes it can feel like you are not maximizing your returns on that amount of money but its job isn't to generate returns, it is your help smooth out the bumps in the road of life for you. In my experience life can punch hard and it never throws just one punch, it is usually a 1,2,3 combo. That emergency fund is merely there to help raise the chances of you standing on your feet after the vicious flurry.

If you want leverage and you are in the US or have a US based brokerage account use options. By using options your all in is basically the cost of the option and this ensures you will not ever lose more than you paid. PLEASE note the previous sentence is predicated on the golden rule of NEVER WRITE an uncovered/naked option, seriously do not do it!!!! I also use the 5% rule, which no one trade is more than 5% of my portfolio so no one trade will destroy me.
Don't get so defensive about it, I'm not trying to stop you choosing whatever gear you like. We're allowed to want different things.
I think a lot of times in maker communities building what already exists is not seen as good which I don't get.
