> Marxists believe that the state is created _by_ the market for itself

I don't think that is accurate.

Marxists believe that in practice bourgeois control of the State (in the developmental phase of capitalism, bourgeois influence on the aristocracy which controls the State) is the vehicle by which the bourgeois create and maintain the system of private property of which the market is an epiphenomenon. (And, therefore, that control of the State is necessary to abolish that system of property rights and the capitalist system that depends on it.)

On the descriptive points of this libertarian capitalists generally agree (disagreeing on the normative assessment); seeing that the purpose of the state is to enforce the system of property rights that the market relies on, and that the State is defective to the extent that it extends beyond or departs from that function.
I'm going to guess this plays out like every place around the world so far.

The next time you want to dwell into a file format, download it and do the 30 day trial - maybe there's already an existing template for the file you're looking for - if not, try making your own - it's super easy! Then you can decide if it's worth it. If such a situation never arises, then no, it's not worth it in your case.

I used it a lot when datamining in World of Warcraft - I would find reverse engineered documentation from previous versions of the game, write it into a 010 editor template struct, run it on the DBC file and then I'd usually get a result where the header and the first few fields would be fine, but the rest would be completely wrong. All I did was add a field in the template before the first obviously wrong field, with different, random sizes, to add random padding until the field started looking correct again.

It's a pretty specific case, but it almost always worked!
> And even though I just bought an MBP16, Apple monitoring every binary I run makes me want to sell it immediately and never buy another iPhone, Watch or Macbook.

You'll keep buying Apple stuff. I know it, you know it and Apple knows it. If all of their past transgressions hadn't changed your mind you'll keep doing it. Cut the shit.
Those are very similar in practice.
I once apologized to someone and they took full advantage of the situation stomping me into the proverbial ground and ending in a psychological position where they were the clear winner and had an advantage over me in future encounters. Most people don’t do this and are gracious. But unless you’ve had this happen to you, you don’t have an understanding of the risks associated with a full blown mea culpa.
>I think Apple brought this on themselves when they announced it would be faster than 98%[1] of the existing laptops on the market. They didn't caveat it with "fanless laptops" or "laptops with 20hr of battery life", it's just supposedly faster than all but 2% of laptops you can buy today.

No, it's faster than all those laptops, not just "fanless" ones. It's actually faster than several fan-using i9 models. And it has already been compared to those.

Civilization has the chance to rise again regardless. Even if humans go extinct, I find it likely something would rise to take our place (be it an evolution of a creature that survived, or if life were to just begin anew on Earth). Whether you feel any connection to a civilization that isn't human is another question.

I hear this thrown around a lot, but to the best I can discern, it is simply unfounded. Uber and Lyft seem to pay between $1-$2 a mile. There are sites where you can put in the model and year of your car and get real life depreciation figures. Unless you're ubering around in a McLaren, you're just not depreciating at a higher rate than what Uber pays.

Prius, probably the most common ride sharing car, has a total cost, including fuel, depreciation, and maintenance, of about $0.39 cents per mile.

Well? So does a "distributed" economy. Goods are manufactured, shipped across the planet, to be dumped in a landfill. A significant portion of food goes to waste, all the while some other people starve (incidentally, being forced to plant cash crops e.g. cocoa rather than grow food for themselves). We have given trillions to help pay for the losses of the bankers, who are the people who truly rule us. We are currently in the process of giving trillions in subsidies to industries which have either already doomed us to extinction or soon will. The list goes on.

I'm fortunate to work in an "enterprise" environment where managers have discretionary spending ability. A $50/month app doesn't require the huge purchasing process, just throw it on a company card and tell accounting what code to charge it to. Once you go over a certain threshold, the heavyweight purchasing process kicks in - but it's more justified when the dollar amounts are higher.
Thanks!

I've never found prettifiers to help much. Often there isn't much in the way of indentation or newlines for a formatter to be able to objectively insert. I mainly rely on the following while both making my own dweets and unpacking other dweets (which can be just as much fun btw):

1. Use a text editor: Dweets can get very dense and non linear, syntax highlighting can help a lot when deconstructing a dweet (essentially manually prettifying). I also find variable highlighting invaluable for understanding a dweet (i.e where you select one and all of the others are clearly highlighted). Often the code will be arranged in confusing ways just to squeeze extra characters out, e.g putting things in the incrementor position of a for loop 'for(i=8;i--;x.fillRect(blah))', often you will want to rearrange it to make it more legible while you are understanding the code.

2. Use Dwitter: When making new dweets or figuring out the behavior of existing dweets. The code runs as soon as you lift each finger, this creates a feedback loop between your brain and the computer which is faster than any other interactive computing environment i've seen. It seems absurdly simple but it's very powerful and you will learn a lot. JS things.. all of those niggling assumptions that you don't have time or inclination to investigate when writing "proper" code will suddenly be easy and necessary and interesting to figure out. Math things.. I usually suck at math, but when you can play with the variables and functions and watch patterns instantly change on the screen math suddenly feels like the most intuitive thing in the world.

3. Your brain: The lovely thing about code this size is it can all fit in your head with ease... After marinading in your head for long enough eventually the code falls away and the concepts remain, at which point you can think about it, run it, and manipulate it with ease.

[edit]

Quite a number of dweets are packed using the unicode escape trick these days to get 194 effective characters (including this one). To quickly get the unpacked code just replace 'eval' with 'throw' and it will be printed bellow the dweet.

Finally there is a small but active discord group where you might find people willing to help with golfing (or ungolfing) and figuring things out etc: https://discord.gg/emHe6cP

I don't think it's difficult to get a name approved in Denmark, thus extending the list of approved names, if it's a "real" name for example from another language/country. Made up names are probably not getting approved.

My sister's name, while a perfect valid name in Denmark, has a foreign spelling so it had to be approved.

In 1987 a boy was named Christophpher which is not a legal name. The mother was fined and fought in court until 1995 where she lost and was threatened with even heavier fines. The minister intervened and the boy was allowed to keep his name. However, the name was not added to the list of legal names.

For many Asians being FOB was an advantage. They had not been subjected to centuries of discrimination. I believe that immigrants coming from Africa do better in the US, on average, because they usually come from the educated elite of their home country.

The opposite occurs for some Asians minorites who were poor and uneducated in their home countries, they don't do anywhere near as well as the Asians who come from a privileged background.

Does that answer your question?
I suspect they're not technically saying that, since they're saying "PC laptops." But as Coldtea notes, it's pretty clear the M1-based laptops embarrass all current Intel-based Mac laptops. I'm just not going to fault Apple too much for failing to explicitly say "so this $999 MacBook Air just smokes our $2800 MacBook Pro."
Nope, "Faster than 98% of the laptops sold, which includes many of the cheapest OEM laptop available!".

Not the same as "Faster than 98% of the cheapest OEM laptop available!".

> But they can use violence. By capturing control of the state and shifting state policy to coerce in its favour. Or failing that, employing violence directly themselves as many large monopolies did in the 20s and 30s.

This is true but in functional terms the corporation is then acting with the powers of a government or organized crime, and then is subject to the same arguments that are used to explain the failures/successes of those systems.

> Marxists believe that the state is created _by_ the market for itself

This is somewhat true. Its important to note that it is created or captured by certain market participants, not the market as a whole.
I quoted directly from the article, and said that as a characterization of what I see the underlying problem behind his statements are.

You may interpret it differently, but I clearly and unequivocally see that sentiment behind it. And to be more specific, I could be more charitable in my interpretation should the second line I quoted not be in the article verbatim.
The solution to this is simple - any engineer applying for a job should simply say "no" and this practice will end. The real problem is that engineers in general do not know how to say "no", or they do not know how to negotiate. The role of college education is to weed out those who are not capable, so if you already have a degree of a reasonably reputable (not necessarily ivy league) college or university these type of interviews are completely unnecessary. Also, in the US the cost of firing someone is extremely low compared to europe so these type of interviews make no sense at all. In europe you would need to pay someone months of severance pay and what not, in the US you can simply tell them they are fired and that's it. The goal of these interviews is really to find something that can be used to negotiate your salary down, so don't be a sucker and don't fall for it.

The last time I checked, protobuf didn’t help with any sort of validation. In fact, the code I’ve had to maintain (written by others) is more verbose than a hand rolled, validating serializer would be in C++, even though it didn’t actually validate.

My only explanation for its success is that people often cargo-cult Google technology, and that it can be used for cross language communication by people that can’t hand-serialize a struct.

This is terrible advice. The advice presupposes that indignant people are reasonable, fair, forgiving (and frankly, gullible). If you bend over to a mob that is out to get you, then you will find out very quickly how cruel people can become. You will find out that human beings, within angry group dynamics, simply revert back to primitiveness in these situations. It's like dealing with a pack of wolves. Never show weakness. This doesn't get us to a better society but it is what it is.
> I do not see how this is in any way a necessity.

Right, but that's not my point. My point is that using a static type language isn't JUST about performance. If I define foo as a string and call it as an integer in my program, my compiler is going to catch it, whereas in a dynamically type language I may not discover the bug until it hits production.
> On the descriptive points of this libertarian capitalists generally agree (disagreeing on the normative assessment); seeing that the purpose of the state is to enforce the system of property rights that the market relies on, and that the State is defective to the extent that it extends beyond or departs from that function.

Some see the state as a capture of the dispute resolution process and feel that the market emerges as a consequence of certain norms.

>This boggles the mind. I am using typed languages since I can think. I never once recall an instant where I was saying "Uh uh, this type signature is driving me craaazy".

You might not, but this was a common sentiment (not saying it is necessarily a valid one, mind you, but it was common). Were you programming 2 decades ago and/or paying attention to the average sentimeντ expressed in blogs/etc re types and dynamic languages (and the general tone up to around 2012 or so even in HN)?

Another common sentiment was that "who needs types when you have TDD".

The M1 is clearly the low-end Apple Silicon chip, given the computers that Apple is putting it in: the MacBook Air, the Mac mini, and the two-port MBP. Why in the world should we demand that this chip be able to blow the doors off a "top of the line Ryzen"? This is a mobile CPU that's holding it own against CPUs like that in single-core performance. "Yeah, but I bet a 64-core Ryzen would just blow it away in multi-core, so who is Apple kidding? Pshaw." Really?
The problem with Uber they kinda spoiled drivers. It was a low-skilled job but for many years even my friends were making around 6 grands a month with a help of tax optimizations and hefty bonuses.
And none of them were ready to switch to any other low skilled job and get like $20 per hour ~ $3200 a month before taxes.
Comparing Speech Recognition Systems (Microsoft API, Google API and CMU Sphinx)
The core business model is they pick the food up in one place and put it down in a different place. "Market share" is not meaningful, there is about as low a barrier to entry for competition as it is possible to get.

It isn't an achievement to gain 100% market share if each transaction makes a loss. If they try to raise prices to neutral or profitable levels it is likely that the market will shrink and competitors will charge in.

It may be that the equilibrium market is restaurants and food outlets do their own delivery for free or at cost. Then there isn't much of a market for a service like DoorDash to make a profit in.

It is possible that there is a market there and DoorDash will one day, somehow, make more money than they spend. But having a high market share is not much compensation when it requires constant losses to maintain.

“I believed I was not visible on Zoom,” Toobin said at the time. “I thought no one on the Zoom call could see me. I thought I had muted the Zoom video.”[..]

This is such a critical piece of any workflow. It's often overlooked.
For what it's worth, I trace the main initiation of the change into the empire to who I consider the worst president in history, Woodrow Wilson. I think the real fight for America will be in pushing back against Wilsonianism enough to drastically shift the overton window in domestic and foreign policy, lest we suffer the consequences of not doing so. That said, to fix a lock that is broken, you have to understand how it works... so I find a lot of value in understanding exactly "how" Wilsonianism took hold so deeply, so quickly. The added complication is the major changes in the banking and monetary system since then also, I mean from that era we go from the creation of the fed, to the bretton woods system, to ww2 and later Nixons move towards the petrodollar. These are all major shifts in the backbone of any nation, empire or not, so a lot of my effort is trying to understand those things as well. I recently came across a particularly insightful talk by Yanis Varoufakis that really condensed a lot of these things well, you might check it out if thats the sort of thing that interests you.[1]

There are a lot of irregularities and several states have already forced hand recounts because the margins are so close.

In PA and NV, they kicked out GOP observers. Why? Even if there is no foul play, that is a terrible thing to do. It. Looks. Bad. And it's illegal. Votes need to be tallied in front of both parties. They may have invalided hundreds of thousands of votes depending on a lawsuit.

Election fraud and voter fraud are very difficult to prove. America is no stranger to it (Remember Bush v Gore and Diabold voting machines?) But I think people had some hope the system was that corrupt. They were wrong, and America is.
