> For instance, absolutely nobody has every said "I want to share my internet connection with my strangers".

I imagine that my experience in France is a little different to the US (no caps on home internet) but I share my home WiFi with strangers as I am incentivized to do so by the ISP.

The ISP is also a cell phone service provider (I use them for both) and if you agree to share your home WiFi with their other customers, you get access to those other people sharing their home WiFi, too. It basically means that for the 'cost' of sharing a part of my home internet with a passing stranger, I can get a WiFi connection in most any built up area from someone else sharing. As the person using my WiFi also has to be a customer of the ISP for WiFi and sharing it, too, the only sharing use case is when you are looking for something faster than 4G on your cell phone and you connect securely to a fellow ISP customer's WiFi.
The article's main point is that Apple would need to open up internal documentation to support Linux on M1. I don't think that will happen anytime soon.

Apple's long term strategy is to lock you in into their app ecosystem so that leaving Photos.app behind eventually becomes unbearable. Once you are properly locked in by the software, you then have to buy their hardware even in those cases where it is not in your best interest, e.g. the desktop Mac Pro.

If you look at their recent financial reports, Apple makes its money increasingly from services like iCloud. That only works if you heavily use their apps.

I wouldn't be surprised if they were selling the M1-based Macs on a loss to reel you into their apps and services ecosystem.

Microsoft and Sony have been doing the same play with their consoles for decades.

And that's why Apple cannot tolerate a 3rd party OS on M1. At least in my opinion...
Rockstar programmer: Rivers Cuomo finds meaning in coding
It seems we like to put mental models of things we easily understand and can control on our complex human body which we don't understand. The brain like a computer, the body has a budget. If only biology was so simple, or well maybe it's better, it seems a lot more robust and dynamic then our straightforward human creations. Anyway moral of the story if you are tired or stressed take some rest.
Of course math is a formal system. If you take Zermelo-Frankel Set Theory as the foundation of math, it has a very clear, formal set of axioms.

And we do not know for certain that math is objective truth. If we did, there would be no philosophy of mathematics.

Reasoning within mathematics is objective, because math is a formal system. But to think that we know anything about anything is frankly pure arrogance. We don’t know why we are here or what our universe even is at a fundamental level. Math is a human-imposed construct that we use to try and make sense of it all.
> I’m naive on this topic but what makes TSMC pretty much the only fab on the world that can do this? Do they have technology the west doesn’t? Know how? Why isn’t there a fab in the US, it can’t be just labor costs?

Just steadily keeping doing what it did for 30 years straight without compulsion to chase "the next big thing"? A rather unglamorous industry, and for most of their history, they did not chase the bleeding edge, letting more moneyed players to bleed each others.

I read some of those very extensive market research reports (or better to say market research books) which go to semiconductor companies for few thousand bucks a pop. It's mind boggling how much consideration, calculations, and planning goes into a decision to sign on a $10B+ fab spending. Forecasts, and technology analysis goes for at least a decade forward, and they dive further than simply tech, into things like social trends, and etc.

So, it is, the industry is very hard, very obscure, and works like an ant repellent on "next big thing" chasers from Silicon Valley culture.
Rent seeking is an interesting point, since every tech giant is basically a rentier in some form. The path to billions in revenue is to control eyeballs, marketplaces, platforms, without ever strictly selling it away.

Rentierism is fundamentally unproductive. If you're a keynesian, a rent is literally the excess that can be extracted due to some market inefficiency, and the flood gates should release a million competitors into the market.

Clearly this isn't what is happening. I'm okay with taxing rentiers for the regulatory protection they rely on to protect their monopolies.

I completely agree with your other points.
It will not be enough.

There are essentially 3 leading fabs left: TSMC, Samsung, Intel.

Samsung has yield issues, Intel has yield issues, TSMC somehow has no issues. GlobalFoundries has already dropped out of the race. TSMC is selling every wafer they make, and continues to invest heavily to solidify it's lead.

ALL of these fabs depend on ASML machines. IIRC last year they delivered just over half of the machines that were ordered.
> Forcing companies to surveil you is bad enough. Then the databases get hacked and blasted all over the internet.

He's right. Authoritarian measures like this would be scary if the the government wasn't so incompetent. Instead, its scary in a different way, like a drunk on the bus pulling out a gun and insisting that he be the only one allowed to drive.
This article is priceless. Thanks for linking it.

Thx segfaultbuserr for the detailed answer. I was wrong and I agree with you that IPFS gateways and Tor exits are two different things.

Well, then we might need something like IPFS-over-Tor, using Tors anonymity features to make it more safe for operators.

> $145 million dollars is pocket change to Big Tech. It must just be that they don't think it would be profitable enough to compete when they can buy. If they ever stopped being able to buy, I'm sure they'd get to work real quick.

Even if they have money, I doubt they have the capability.

They may have billions USD for pocket change, but they can't make a freaking working video call app, and a web browser which eats less than 1GB of memory just to draw a few pictures, and a text layout.

I'm not sure why this erroneous email is newsworthy. The thing that bothers me about sidewalk is that amazon is leveraging their favorable market position to share my internet connection with their devices that belong to other people to add more value to their products under the guise of promoting community safety.

I'd be much more supportive of what could be a very helpful and generous service if they used their position to do something truly altruistic and still have the first mover advantage by making this service an open standard for all device that benefit personal and community safety. Amazon, please open this up.

Isn't code search more table stakes nowadays? Both github and gitlab have it.

There isn't anything said about end to end, integration or functional testing here. I'm in a world where everyone hacks their own system together onto the same runtime, leading to some wonky outcomes and lots of operational support. Would be interesting if there was a 'google' way to do it.
Yes they are obviously upgrading their software because they need to make money and adding features and fixing bugs is a great way to do that.

The only solution to not having a broken music workstation is to never connect that machine to the internet and never update it. Physical instruments keep working for decades because...they are never connected to the internet and never updated.

"* Dr. Kim Williams, former president of the American College of Cardiology, said "there are two kinds of cardiologists, vegans, and those who haven't read the data""

An appeal to authority. I'm mean surgeon general once called for not wearing masks until he changed his mind completely.

"* Animal agriculture is responsible for 20-33% of all freshwater consumption globally"

Why would that be problematic? There is no shortage of water where they raise animals. On the other hand there is a shortage of water in California where they grow crops on a massive scale.

"* Mass cultivation of animals increases the chances of pandemic"

That is a true, but the same can be said of large fields of monoculture crops where disease can quickly spread and destroy everything resulting in hunger.

"* 41% of mainland USA is used for grazing livestock, yet meat only provides 18% of our calories; feeding the world on a vegan diet could reduce farmland use by 75% or more"

Only if that 41% of mainland is suitable for plowing and you don't mind destroying other habitats for food production. Live stock can graze, humans cannot. Plus we don't need pesticides and insecticides on grasslands which are destroying our fresh water supplies.

"* Going plant-based for two-thirds of meals could reduce food-related carbon emissions by 60% (the way we produce, distribute, and refrigerate food is a huge contributor of global emissions)"

That is already true for vast majority of people on this planet. Think of the food pyramid.

"* 70-75% of soybeans grown globally are for livestock, only 6% are used for human food products (meat eaters often try to claim that soy production is terrible for the environment; surprise, surprise, meat consumption is the main driver) "

I don't know how real the numbers are, regardless it is not an ideal situation and we should strive towards less monulture.

I found that discussion of the gastroenterologist and the psychotherapist odd too. The writer says:

But surely going to a gastroenterologist for help with your (non-existent) divorce or a psychotherapist for (unnecessary) diet ideas, means you are not fixing the underlying problems. That just suggests that obscuring the distinction between mental and physical is not so helpful.
Also pretty pointless

TSMC is building a fab in Arizona, but it won't be production ready until mid 2020s.

https://www.tomshardware.com/uk/news/tsmc-arizona-fab-invest...

Intel has fabs in the US (and Israel), but they have some catching up to do with TSMC - a lot of things have gone wrong for Intel the last few years. I hope they'll get their shit together and bounce back.

China has its own fabs (SMIC) and has been investing heavily into this, but as they are now banned from buying the EUV machines it will take a while, possibly up to a decade until they get to smaller process nodes. Long term China will be able to fab cutting edge chips itself, and possibly surpass others - looking at their tech trajectory and state funding. The US tech sanctions against China are just buying time.
Rebasing, and thus git rebase, is a standard step that predates git.

The typical workflow is that you create a branch off master and do your work on it. Once thw work is complete is rebase the branch if master has changed so that you can test and review independently, then perform a trivial merge.
Last I checked, GitHub's code search was so bad that it's useless. There's definitely a use for good code search.

> I wouldn't be surprised if they were selling the M1-based Macs on a loss to reel you into their apps and services ecosystem

You do not understand Apple's business. They sell hardware, and have the biggest profit margin in the industry. With the M1 they've probably increased their margin because they no longer have to pay Intel.

Their services served as incentive to buy their hardware. Only recently have they realized that they could also monetize some of their services, but it remains secondary to their core business model.
Could the captcha be there to keep spam bots from posting? Sometimes it is trivial to get a new or just valid account, so just checking for that wouldn't stop spam bots.
It's not even about "programmers suck". It's about productivity.

I can, and have, written high performance systems in assembly (long ago). I've written many high performance systems in C. Rarely, but sometimes, still do.

But doing it in assembly takes a long time. No way to justify time to market on that one today. In C, sometimes it's worth it.

But Java productivity is so much higher and (if written properly) leaves very little performance on the table. It's the sweet spot of performance vs. productivity still today and has been for about 15 years (~Java 1.4).
In fact, your smartphone probably already exceed all ITARed chips by computing power, and it's a big irony that all of them go through China before reaching the US.

If China wanted to put some into their ICBMs, they would've been just better off wiring a smartphone to the rocket.
> Many years ago, I did a brief stint at Google. A lot has changed since then, but even that brief exposure to Google's internal developer tools left a lasting impression on me.

Perhaps the operative phrase being "Many years ago". I currently work at Google, previously I worked at Square. Of the two, I generally prefer the OSS and off-the-shelf tooling at Square. Some things really are better at Google (code search and Blaze are definitely a big improvement over what we had), but many of our monitoring and CI tools feel antiquated and cluttered with inscrutable debris. Or take Gerrit, where each change has 3 different IDs and the developers decided that every workflow status should be expressed as an integer in the range [-2, 2] for some reason [1].

They were probably amazing (and much simpler) tools back in the day, but the world has moved and we're somewhat constrained by what's familiar.

This is just a private company taking control of information. Who is to say that they arent the ones spreading misinformation themselves?
As an HFT developer myself I have to disagree. I worked for tier 1 banks that used both:java and cpp.

The trend is moving towards quicker time to market and simpler implementations and replacing cpp with java.
The cpp code bases I had to deal with were old, hard to maintain and easy to break.
More often than not cpp was a pretty bad lock in as well. For example a big evil bank very well known here struggled for 3 years to upgrade the compiler on one of those projects.
Did not happen to this day, I'm told. Few years later they are still on RHEL6 and gcc 4.

Deformable Neural Radiance Fields
Indeed, same here. Low power, relatively cheap, amazing single thread performance, great multicore performance, amazing memory system (30ns or so to main memory), decent GPU included, neural engine, etc.

The Ryzen 5000 based APUs to be announced at CES should be in the same ball park. More power intensive, no neural engine, likely a much worse memory system. But all in all should run normal apps almost as well.

Ask HN: W2 income exceed 1M but taxed at 51% after IPO
I will have a few years of high W2, mostly RSU equity comps. It's a good problem to have yes. But it still sucks, while I know some will disagree, that more than half of that will be taken away.

As W2 income, there's also very little tax mitigating strategies, now that I talked to an army of tax advisors. More than I'd otherwise need in a lifetime.

The W2 income spike is not steady and all peak next year (due to lockup period deferring this year's income to next year), so I want to preserve / defer as much as possible.

For those who've been through those tech IPOs, what would you recommend?

These are what I know that could work in today's tax code:

1) Go the real-estate professional route to offset non-passive income, and even if I do, putting down several multifamily units next year, it won't be enough depreciation to offset my 1M+ W2 income.

2) There're a few other aggressive tax strategies far less well known that I got exposed to recently, mainly those in Family Office for the wealth. Those will 100x the audit risk for sure.

3) Maybe I should just stop worrying about this, and learn the lesson of never overstaying this 'W2 slave' stage and should shift to business and capital income sooner.

Thoughts?
GP was not talking about "any GC-event", but about "any full GC (pause) events". That's where the heap has gotten so messy that everything has to stop while the GC sorts it out. It's an absolute worst case scenario. Under normal conditions on a modern JVM, the GC runs in parallel with the application and does not cause any pauses.
Yeah, I'm just an idiot. I guess I was just thinking of GNU make.

On the other hand, it looks like (at least on Catalina?) it ships with GNU diffutils, so patch, cmp, diff are all GNU utilities. I'm going to sheepishly pretend like this proves my point somehow :-)
