For the former, I'd recommend chapter three of Thomas Sowell's Black Rednecks & White Liberals, about the history of slavery.[1]

For the latter, I'd recommend Illiberal Reformers, about the Progressive Era and its devotees.[2] Later Progressives were responsible for the school-to-prison pipeline and militarized police.[3] The Progressive Era has a wide array of interesting literature, including the writings of many of its early exponents (since they tended to be writers or academics).

I like the gimmick. I don’t think I would have bothered checking any of this otherwise and I’m in the field.
It's cool when you're in your 20s but not so much when you get older.
I agree. While it is all still playing out, it does appear Epic made a mark on things sufficient to change the discussion.
That's what happens when you don't use a container orchestrator.
AreWeMetaYet however is there.
I think it is actually designed as such on purpose: in the event of adverse weather, loosing some openly stacked containers is less severe than sinking an otherwise concealing but unstable ship. I imagine this is a sort of calculated loss, a trade-off of allowing a heavy ship to adjust – or "self heal", if you will – to extreme conditions dynamically, which should also be very rare and unlikely.
Two hours for comments, I think it's the same for post titles.
AMD is in Surface laptop 3, and in Thinkpad T14 (supposedly, though the ship times are reputedly several months.) The T14 is premium in a certain class (high value placed on swapping parts.) I suspect there are a few more.
That doc was so dark to watch, he was just pure self-destructive.
I’ve heard from some people involved in the shipping industry that (based on the size of the incident) this ship is probably going to declare General Average, which is a sort of weird concept that AFAIK doesn’t really have a parallel on land. It’s basically, “we’ve lost an awful lot of cargo—everyone who had stuff on board, chip in to pay for what got lost.” From what I understand, the idea is that you don’t want to waste time in an emergency trying to figure out which cargo is OK to jettison, so the shippers whose stuff arrived safely pay the ones who didn’t for their sacrifice, but I imagine it can be quite the surprise bill.
It’s (comparatively) very cheap in bulk tank form.

But that’s much harder to come by for most people.

The small whippets cartridges... you’re paying for the steel, getting a gas in there and markups. If they filled it with room air, it would cost the same.

I just shipped about £25,000 of personal effects - they wanted to charge me 5% for insurance!

I’m really glad seeing the estimates for container loss in this thread that I decided to just wear the risk myself.
My high school they made me the IT tech support. I ran between two campuses and was called out of class regularly. Novell Netware, Windows 3.11, some BBS stuff? The only thing I didn't do was AV work.

I took my "job" very seriously. Started though because I was absolute always playing around on every system, which meant admin / root access, from the big local educational BBS to the library systems to the academic support stuff (I never played around with the grading system at all thankfully because most of the time it was just because I was blocked from doing something like use a disk in a drive or whatever).

Whoever setup these systems did things like whitelist apps, so if you wanted to use windows calculator it was blocked. So I'd jump into admin and run it from there. Nothing malicious. But I think they did have a bit of a debate (in hindsight) about which way to go, discipline or rope me in. I think the librarians carried the day actually because I'd been helping them with the netware stuff when I was in library hour (printers not printing / computers not working right / whatever).
Fucking false, stop spreading misinformation. The US experienced continued deflation from ~1870 to ~1890 and still saw a growth rate of around 4%.

Wouldn't it be mostly IO bound? A 10 Mbit/s stream would equal to 100 viewers on a 1Gbit connection, which you can probably handle with even a 1-2 core VPS. The primary consideration would be your transit/server provider and how well peered they are in relation to your viewers.
No, nothing like that.

It's just to make loading practical.

Also, a taller ship with a large mostly empty area up high might have some issues when lightly loaded with crosswinds - but probably more importantly it's just that you would need internal supports which again, will make loading much more complicated.
That's a good question. It says the prevailing winds were BF4, but then earlier it mentions 'gale force' which implies BF8? Something seems missing indeed.

The assumable backstory of this repo:

This is really the collision between designers and programmers. Due to aesthetics, designers try and cover text up by using a blur. Programmers see this from a functional stand point, they see some security issues. Programmers act to prove their methodology is superior and that is the story of how this repo came into existence.
Works great. I run it on Ubuntu 20.04 in a virtualbox VM running on Ubuntu 20.04 as I keep my work stuff in a VM. Audio and video work fine, although I generally use phone audio because my bluetooth doesn't seem to work in the VM. It works fine on the host OS though. Also, I can use phone audio with the USB webcam on the PC providing the video and it works great.

Well for the band in question, Autechre, I'm not trying to suggest that they compose by having the machines generate parts and then they go back to tweak those parts. It's more as though the program they write for a composition is something to be steered and actively adjusted on the fly. THAT's the performance. They're not micro-managing note and rhythm choice. They're performing by adjusting probabilities, or adding new seed conditions on the fly, or controlling meta functions.

I believe their compositional style is more akin to a long form improvisational jam that may then be edited down for conciseness and redundancy. I don't get the impression that they're going back and tweaking the fine details at this stage in their long career. They're way too prolific to keep that up.

Here's an example of some tracks that are typical of them:

As you'll hear it's pretty removed from conventional rhythm, harmony, and form. There are certainly underlying foundations, but they've transitioned into a mode that's almost entirely rhythm and timbre. In fact, by leaning into the generative components and ignoring the need to replicate traditional song forms, melody, or cadence in a credible way they've pioneered a very radical and exciting form of composition with electronic instruments.

It might not have been fatally flawed, but it wasn’t completely smoke and mirrors. It was a real an research program employing scientists and engineers that built and tested laser platforms for deployment. It wasn’t viable using contemporary technology, but neither is commercial fusion power, and we have been working on it for several decades. Would you consider ITER smoke and mirrors?
This is great! As someone who is creating a product in the same niche that you're targeting while also coming from a non-OECD country, I can confidently say that you wrote something valuable from reading through your index.

Marketing the book and getting to the audience would definitely be a challenge if you're targeting non-OECD country audience. $10 is a good price because CTCI is $10 and a good bunch of my network bought the physical book before they got a job (most just pirated the PDF). The set of people who bought the book was only due to the word-of-mouth recommendations from the CS crowd. I'd say taking up the strategy of marketing the book like Learn Python the Hard Way would be effective:

- Give the e-book version for free.
- Create enough buzz around your book with reviews from your target audience and in CS forums.
- Once there is network effect, you could release a revised version and make it paid.

It'd take time and iterations to perfect it, but Learn Python the Hard Way is now priced at $29.99 and it generates good sales. Good luck!
>Best way to do that is a strong investment in people, infrastructure, research, development, and an improved social policy.

I'm skeptical whether creating funds that are forced to invest in the stock market would count as investment in those areas. Those sound like giving more money to the billionaire hedge fund mamagers.
I did not get that impression as the author assumes some readers will be familiar with the "technical" history he describes. Granted, the blog as a whole does not have a necessarily technical focus. Even so, what is the harm if non-technical readers encounter this article.

Regarding creation of new networks, it seems your issue with this article applies more to this internet we are using right now. The one that you imply may have non-technical users reading about creating new networks for "technical" ones.
I remember something similar - I moved from Scotland to Finland and we used a shipping container to move some of our stuff.

Of course we sold/donated most things, and didn't try to transport furniture. We shipped 80cbft / 2.26 cubic meters of stuff. The price for removal was £570.00, and the price of insurance was £307.40.

So in our case insurance was damn near 50% of the shipping price.

(Quick edit: Found the actual emails so those numbers are correct.)
Avoid containers at all cost is better imho.
Yea, I'm looking forward to that feature. If they can implement that with a peer to peer stream that would be great.

> When I have a bike and you steal it from me, you are depriving me of the use of that bicycle. That's what makes it theft.

Let me give you back your analogy with a dose of reality: When I make a living by selling bikes, and you steal it from me, you are depriving me of my time and energy and money spent to maintain my business. That's what makes it theft.
Wikipedia traces the origins of General Average to 800 BC, so it rather predates the modern insurance industry—it’s basically a group insurance policy where you only have to pay the premium if something happens. Nowadays if you’ve insured your container that will also cover GA for the shipment, but if you shipped uninsured you have to pay it yourself.

Based on the accounts that are now coming out, the guy had been living in a fantasy world for some time.

He was probably happy to stay at Zappos as long as it made him feel good. He didn't actually need to be good at business anymore because Amazon was running the show. After leaving, he decamped to Park City and paid former colleagues to join him there, to continue the party, because that is what Zappos leadership had become by that point: a party free from the daily duties and concerns of running a company that needed to succeed in the market in order to survive.
How secure do you think Twitch (Amazon), Facebook Gaming (Facebook), and Youtube Live (Google) are at the top of the streaming world? We’ve recently seen Mixer (Microsoft) fall, and it feels like the creators are the only thing keeping these platforms great, so what’s stopping a new streaming platform from rising above all the others other than the creator’s fear of losing stability? Why couldn’t a new streaming service with a great user acquisition strategy fully take over? This industry doesn’t feel stable at the moment, but when has the video content industry been stable.
Sounds sort of like a post-hoc insurance plan. Everybody "pays in" by accepting the risk of lost cargo, and the payout averages out the losses on that individual ship. If a ship is large enough, then that may be sufficient spreading of the risk.

I'm not sure this is even well-formed statement, you're certainly free to devote your time to issues that you consider important and ignore those that you perceive to be a waste of time. However if you want to persuade others to adopt those same economies of time then to would be helpful to share the specific motivations.

> Credibility and authority is incredibly important. How much time can anyone devote to dissecting the words of each living person in case they contain a potentially great idea?

How error-prone would it be to take someone else's assessment of an individual at face value and conclude that they had nothing further to offer and so to ignore everything they had written?

A credible ARM response will probably come in about 1-2 years from Intel/AMD/Qualcomm/etc.

This is the second major opportunity for Linux to make an actual push onto the desktop.

Windows 8/10's abhorrent design was left at the roadside, but arguably there was no motivation from big backers to get Linux up to par on desktop.

This time may be different.

Why would AMD/Intel/Qualcomm wait/hope/gamble that Microsoft executes the transition? Especially given the major shortcomings in UI? The architecture transition will destroy Microsoft's compatibility advantage.

Why not hedge with a really well supported Linux Desktop alternative they personally/collectively fund and push... personally I think that's corporate malfeasance given the scale of revenue to not pursue. Or a BeOS.

The architecture switch will probably limit the hardware that needs support. A linux-based or at least OSS_based x86 emulation somewhat on par with Rosetta will be a critical component as well.
> If you eat a loaf of bread, someone else cannot. But if you perform or listen to a song, it's still there for others.

OK, that's good for you and the "others", but what about the person who spent time and energy to write the song and perform? Just because it's "still there for others", it's ok to steal it? You are only thinking from the consumer's point of view and neglecting why people produce things of value in the first place. If they don't get rewarded, they will simply stop producing value.
Right. Because Slack is such a joy to use in browsers that there is no native app needed.

Oh wait. Yes there is. It's the web app as a native app, because the browser experience literally wasn't good enough.

Saying web apps are superior to native apps is like saying a bicycle with a 2-stroke is superior to a motorcycle. Maybe for your use case it's better, but objectively it is literally a crappy imitation of the real thing that can't even do things the real thing can. A web app is the Visual Basic of applications (but not really since VB is so much more useful!)

And google couldn't determine this stuff was low quality?

Maybe I can latch on to this thread to ask a question — has anybody here had any experience with publishing streams from the browser directly, rather than using something like OBS?

Current thinking is I could use the MediaRecorder API to capture browser content and then push it to a server for broadcast with a tool like Boltstream. But, I’ve heard some people say it’s a bad idea to try this, and to stick with non-browser options.

As others have said, it's a bad deal overall. There's many possibilities for the founders to screw you over: from vague milestone definitions, equity being worthless (most startups fail), adding to mental stress, etc.

If you really want to work in the startup, ask if you can own the codebase. That is, you write and own the code, you deploy it on a server you control with a budget they give you. Don't give them a single line of code. If it all blows up, then at least you come out with something you can demo to future companies. If they launch your codebase to production, then you have leverage to ask for a payout from a milestone completed.

If they don't want you to own the codebase, then they're most likely gonna screw you over. Business is business, always remember that.
