Like grocery stores or many types of restaurants, for example. They usually can't compete against the Walmarts and Paneras, which suck up consumer mindshare. Similar with soft drinks. Coke and Pepsi build as much mindshare as possible. You may invent a great product, but it likely will never get noticed among corporate noise.

Google, Wikipedia, Facebook are becoming the default go-to spots for particular activities, similar to what McDonald's did to fast dining in the 60s and 70s. I guess, in general, markets saturate, oligopolize, and the small spots fade away unless they're niche or very high quality.
The rotating coins took me by surprise! Nice touch for sure!
I think that's a very strange way of looking at the real estate industry. They don't determine who gets to live where at all. They simply gather and withhold information that they then offer for a fee.

In most situations the same information can (or at least could) be gathered in different ways also, leaving out real estate industry from the loop.

Also just to clarify what I mean: real estate owners =/= real estate industry. They are just part of a bigger picture.
Please allow me to reiterate: who cares how, it worked!

If I ever suffer debilitating physical pain, as I'm sorry you did and I hope I do not, the only thing I shall care about is that it stops.

"readily apparent" is not good evidence. Security isn't as simple as number of lines of code. You need actual in depth analysis to even know the attack surface.

The reason why people view wasm as more secure is the runtimes used for it are VM's that control execution at an instruction level along with the wasm instruction set being far simpler than x86. Not saying wasm is magically secure because of this, there's not much actual security analysis of existing runtimes - but there are good reasons for why it can be viewed as more secure.

While I think this article is a great discussion about the increasing complexity of software and how the trends driving that complexity are marketed, but I think any article discussing these trends without also talking about the organizational structures of the teams delivering and running the code miss the point a bit.

When you have an organization with hundreds or thousands of developers delivering code that works together to support a business there is some types of complexity that are inescapable. So the question is “where do you want the interfaces between people and teams?”

SOA and microservices push that interface to the API layer which drastically increases the complexity of the code, but is a logical place to put the complexity if you consider the organization, people, and code a single system.
I believe Synology NAS units support most of that. The price may not be comparable to something you could build yourself, but for those that want a turnkey solution, it's a viable option.
You shouldn't have been on multiple juries where the insurance company didn't have at least a colorable claim, or the judge should have disposed of the case before it ever went before a jury. And if that's what happened your complaint is with the court system.

For a large number of people not working is likely to directly lead to literally death. For most people it is not a choice at all.

The speculation I've read is that the Pro will look similar to current styling but smaller, and the iMac will be a screen on a stand without the chin from the current model. More like a big iPad Pro. I wouldn't be surprised to see FaceID make its first Mac appearance with those.
Of course the plane's engineering should be corrected. My point is pilot error was a contributing factor.

Since algorithm is defined as "a process or set of rules to be followed in calculations or other problem-solving operations", how is it not an algorithm?
Besides the fact that work, even the must rudimentary kind can be very fulfilling and rewarding in many ways ...

The real problem is that play creates nothing. Play is just play. 'Creative output' is still 'work', just with a hint (maybe 1%) of creative input.

Those with the most ostensibly aspirational jobs are grinding!

Does anyone think Lady Gaga (or Bach), any tech development, any real research, making Star Wars, putting on a Broadway Musical isn't 'work'?

These things require immense work, stress toil in all sorts of ways by all sorts of people - most of whom had to 'work/grind' for 20 years in school in order to develop the applied intelligence, skills, knowledge, fortitude, maturity to be able to even work in aspirational/creative work. And then they still depend on the rest of us to make their food, cars, homes, and 'stuff'.

Even our current , relatively modern systems and knowledge requires work to simply maintain, let alone improve.

They are not magically self-sustaining, even if they are somewhat more intelligent and powerful.

If we 'do what we want' we will be materially poorer than aboriginals, poorer than neolithic peoples ... frankly we'll starve to death as even they had to grind it out just to make do.

There is no way out. Life requires a modicum of effort, point blank. Maybe ... maybe ... we can offers some the ability to 'opt mostly out' but even then I feel we'll be doing people a disservice, for how could a unsocialized man-child, still yet illiterate and completely untutored at age 18 from not having made the effort, even realize what he'll have missed out on?

We can make a better world but 'some effort' will be a perennial requirement. This seems to be a metaphysical constraint.
The hardest thing people need to ween themselves off of is email, which I didn't see mentioned here at all.

Many people don't think there are viable Gmail alternatives, but on Drew DeVault's recommendation I recently switched myself over to using Migadu[1] and the experience has been fantastic.

That said, I am running CalDAV and CardDAV at home on my own hardware, but they do offer a simple version of both that should be usable.

I've worked at a mediacorp in user authentication team where one rogue junior developer from another team (with the most seniority though at that company subdividion because everybody else left) went behind my back to pressure my junior colleague to merge a pr in our codebase which opened a security hole in the back end because he was working together with a project lead who promised to deliver something that we couldn't.

According to Pew at least [1], about 85% of workers are "satisfied or very satisfied" with their jobs, with 49% being "very satisfied". That still leaves a lot of unsatisfied people, but there is also a lot of people relatively happy with their current arrangement.

You're totally ignoring the parts I called you out on, which I'm tempted to view as a tacit admission you see your position there as indefensible.

The trouble is you can't run much in that environment - not even mmap or sbrk to allocate heap memory. It's basically embedded C without even malloc. In reality WASM is a more practical target because many high level languages can compile to it. Or you end up needing seccomp-bpf and now the burden is on you to provide enough functionality to run something without also providing so much to allow a sandbox escape.
The CDC is creating literature assuming "Promoting Justice" and racial criteria are triage factors for vaccine distribution, sufficient to prioritize essential workers (listed examples are mostly government employees) over at-risk and elderly populations. Even though they admit their own models show that would result in slightly more deaths. With that in mind, perhaps decentralization is preferable.

For Zen, you actually want to run your memory clock at a multiple of the FCLK and not as high as possible. So making the RAM frequency the same as the M1 might have actually harmed performance.
The crazy thing is that they are fleeing what they created through the politicians they voted for. And without fail, they will vote for the same type of politician in these new cities, thereby turning their new homes into the places they just fled.
>> Welfare in most developed countries is enough not to starve and not to become fully homeless.

Right, because even that requires someone do work to support people on welfare.

>> Subsisting on welfare is indeed a very uncomfortable life. But it is not literal starvation to death.

It would lead to quick death if we all tried to live that way at once.
I wonder if there will be a "post-mortem" regarding why Microsoft didn't detect this attack earlier..? (similar question for other security vendors)
I think it's very naive to assume that the marketing department of a megacorporation isn't going to say anything to make more sales.

It's likely that no-one has validated anything when it comes to future tense comparisons.

Apple has future M1 samples for sure, but they don't have future AMD samples to benchmark against, unless somehow Apple has done some industrial espionage...

Yeah land tax and VAT are quite practical possibilities.

It's usually the content creator who chooses how many ads run in a video and where they appear. I can't really blame them for putting in enough ads to make a living off of it.

That's really reassuring to hear! I'm planning to stick with this for a year or two to see what pain it actually causes me, but I could definitely see maintenance headaches being thing to motivate a switch to something else. Hopefully I have the same experience as you, though!
Fair enough that you should be concerned this is going to be too expensive. Our plan is to make it radically affordable at a few tiers:
* Free tier with full functionality but only a few user accounts for the workspace. Unlimited apps.
* Team tier with 5 editors and 15 viewers starting around $50/mo. More users would be incremental fees. We hope to serve most smaller business user at this level.
* Pro tier with advanced customization and enterprise features would be a TBD multiple of the Team tier.
Hope that helps keep this under consideration.
There are also rare situations trains can handle, which road vehicles can't (safely): very long tunnels, extreme cross-winds, limited width for the track/road, steep ascent (rack railway).
And calling for the abolition of work is like calling for the abolition of death. Great idea, difficult to argue against. Difficult to implement too.

Given the current state of technology, it seems quite likely that all the actual plans for abolishing work will devolve into a small group of low status, probably socially voiceless, people being picked out and made to do all the work.
I probably should’ve picked up on the fact that you’re probably a youngn too. You’re right. It isn’t about legal adulthood or even legality.

Children and young adults who still live with or depend on their parents/guardians are usually under their authority to some extent, even for completely arbitrary things like “go play”.

As we get older and more capable those things usually relax but there’s definitely a transition.

An adult who has full autonomy would probably weigh a decision like you described and decide whether to voluntarily go play with their younger sibling even if it wasn’t play for them. Some will do it, others won’t.

I’ll put it another way. I’m getting older(ish, I’m 38), I don’t have all the energy in the world, but I have a puppy. She loves to play and she benefits from it. Sometimes I just don’t feel up to it. I could always decide not to, my only strict obligations are don’t abuse or neglect her. But I usually play even if I don’t want to, by choice, because I want my puppy to be happy and healthy too. That’s a kind of decision making that most young children don’t engage, and gradually becomes more common in early adulthood and becomes more solid as we get more of our own autonomy.

It’s totally voluntary. It’s just not always play for me. And with that said, my puppy wants a play :)

There are two separate issues here. First, you need to be careful to avoid double-counting. If cotton sales account for 5% of the economy, you can't go and add to that the money Eli Whitney makes from selling cotton gins to southern plantations. The cost of those cotton gins (rather, the amortized depreciation in the value of those cotton gins) is already baked into the sales price of the cotton. The economy is interconnected, but at the end of the day if the value of exported cotton produced by enslaved people is 5% of the economy, then the whole economy can't be singularly dependent on that industry.

Second, whether the workers on the plantations are paid labor or enslaved people doesn't change the economic calculus for Eli Whitney. He sells cotton gins either way. Back then cotton could be, and was, produced by free labor. When the Civil War disrupted the American cotton industry, free labor in India and Australia and Egypt filled the market gap: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/how-american-civil-wa....
> A return to the polls to vote for more of the same!

Actually no, in 2008 Obama won a solid victory while sounding notes of change and ending the wars. Then he got elected and did what he was put there to do, which was sell the people out.

The elites have been exercising their veto over the peace vote since 11/22/63.
I use Protonmail (with a custom domain) for email, so I didn't include anything about that here. It's possible to do with Nextcloud, too (and maybe I should look into it now that I have this.. would probably be cheaper), but seems like a bit more work to set up your own mail server. Several people have recommended mailinabox to me.
Doubt it. It's hard to tell the difference between console and streaming (I'll believe harder core gamers can still tell, but I can't). As streaming grows the servers will be closer and closer to the user. Already the main source of latency is not in the networking, and definitely not in the speed of light.
"Cloud is the new mainframe"

This is the message we've needed.

Cloud is an expensive, overly complicated, lock-in boondoggle.

Open source needs to rally hard to prevent cloud providers from running their tech.
It 'stands out' for it's dystopian naivete.

'Work' is an essential ingredient in the continued creation (and improvement) of the machine form which we develop our standard of living.

While we can strive for 'free as in liberty' - nothing material in this universe is 'free as in beer' - we still must make do with 'work' - which means an intelligent and conscientious choice to do it.

We actually are 'free as in liberty' to chose to live in material poverty, or to make the effort to improve our condition.

Let us radically simplify:

1) Your household will become 'messy' as you live in it.
2) Nobody is going to 'clean it' but you.
3) 'Cleaning' is 'work'.

So you can chose to A) live in an ever dirtier and dysfunctional household or B) clean it (i.e. work) and enjoy the fruits of your labour.

In other words, there is basically no 'magical cleaning robot, that doesn't require fuel or maintenance'.
Music, bash, BSD, cattle/pets, and “the cloud”
Again, you are absolutely right, but moving the goalpost once more. The lower life expectancy is not due to starvation to death. It is mostly a result of health issues, which is in all likelihood more due to the lack of access to healthcare than food.
> Because the law is always above an agreement.

Sure, if there was a law against them, they'd be illegal. But why would there be a law against them?

> You can't put into a contract "if we kill you, we don't go to prison".

You could, but it would have no legal effect unless you represented the government that would be responsible for prosecuting that crime and had the authority to grant immunity for future crimes, but that's not so much a “law is above contract” thing as “contracts don't bind people, including the State, who aren't parties to the. contract” thing.

Wow. Thank you. I truly appreciate that. And my sympathies for you and your family's situation as well. I know the process will grow and change, but it's also a reality that will never go away. I'll always love and miss my grandma.

What you've said means a lot to me. I don't quite have the words to express how much your empathy means, but it's comforting to hear it from someone who has a shared experience.
Agreed with sillysaurusx. Hang in there buddy. These times are particularly difficult for everyone (and of course some more than others!), and just know that the pain you're feeling does not have to be your pain. I think of it as the pain... of the human condition which we all share together. It makes it feel a lot less lonely. Brighter days will come, and you will be all the stronger when you get there.
The odds of an impending event increase over time regardless of a pattern or not.

Yes.

But not primarily for the reason the author points out.

> You deploy individual stateless functions. But not inside a Java monolith, that is old, but on top of a distributed system. You would have been laughed out of the door if you had proposed that in 2000, and you should be laughed out of the door right now, but such is the power of marketing.

I’m sorry but this absurd and blatantly ignores the reasons why people choose serverless. No mention of scale to zero, virtually infinite auto scaling, automated deploys, arbitrary runtimes, ability to spin up code in multiple regions around the world with zero operational overhead, the list goes on...

These are non-trivial things. You’d have to pay engineers to build the same systems provided by serverless if you want smooth deployments and high availability. Also, imagine if you wanted to start operations outside of the continental United States. You’d need to find a data center provider, buy machines, pay someone to install them (and hope they do it correctly), and then, when ever you have a technical problem, you need to email the datacenter team to have someone plug in a KVM with 5 seconds of lag so your engineers can debug, and then you have to pay admins to constantly maintain the servers, and consistently pay for their rack space even if they aren’t being fully utilized. None of this is a problem on a fully managed serverless platform.

This article is just click bait capitalizing on FUD in the software community. Serverless will be a part of the future of software infra whether luddites are mad about it or not

Disclaimer: I work on serverless products so I am biased
it merely points out the hypocrisy of those who complain, but continue to use said sites.
This is stupid. If you don’t recognize the benefits of serverless of the capabilities of this you shouldn’t be writing about it. Go back to retirement if you remember the 70s. Maybe you would have laughed people out the door in 2000 but that doesn’t mean you by any means are right. Serverless doesn’t add complexity but provides a service that manages everything for you without having to manage scaling manually. This provides ease of use across teams and also consistency which is not found in self managed servers across any size of organization.
They will still be able to do online advertising. It will be less precise and likely more expensive.

What you are asking is that pretty much everyone sacrifice their privacy so some businesses can shave a few dollars off customer acquisition costs. I don't accept that that is an ethical or just trade-off.

Advertising costs aren't resetting to pre-internet days, this is one channel. Search based advertising is still there, likewise, if you can advertise on a financial podcast or a dozen other ways.
It’s for a reason. (It’s okay not to have any thought about something)
