> Is this true if you also consider maintenance

Yes, I think you’re vastly overestimating how much these things cost. A $15k car might need a $100/year in oil changes, and then like $500 in service every $30k miles or so. The most expensive part is probably replacing tires, which is common to the electric car as well.

All of the maintenance on ICE cars gets bad in that 120k miles+ range. But at that point you’ve had to replace the battery on your Tesla, which almost buys you another new $15k car.
Consumption of dogs is banned in the US. Dogs are a delicacy in a number of places. Quite different from discriminating by gender and treating one gender in a marriage as chattel I would think.
> Why? Just vanity?

Pretty much this. Humans tend to want to feel important and recognized, and what better way to feel big than to outdo the stars in the sky? When there's no more stars to outdo, all we can do is compete with each other.
Canada has its own unique 90s tv identity.

I was raised by YTV and The Zone.
Nope! They solved it the opposite way. Their bug tracking system consisted of individual customers who called up to report bugs. I.e. Joe Blow would call up and say "Hey, I'm supposed to see 231 shares, but I only see 219 shares."

That would result in a bug report. The bug report was that Joe Blow saw that outcome. In other words, the bug report didn't contain anything about the code itself.

They had an entire division of support people whose job was to track these bugs, and to fix them.

In order to fix the bug, they would manually edit the database, or do whatever was necessary to make sure Joe Blow saw the right value again. But they never changed the code; they weren't programmers.

Once Joe Blow was happy, they closed the bug report as "fixed."

Therefore, no tests were ever required.

It was ... impressive? I think? I couldn't mentally process what I was seeing at the time. But "impressive" is probably the right word. After all, the system worked.
Those "baseless conspiracy theories" which "various media" dismissed where the myths people build up around the term while it's original meaning is pretty straight and well defined. It even has a wikipedia page.

I am a bit curious which influencers would like to have this? Twitch streamers protect their location religiously because exposing it can lead to 100s of pizzas being delivered to your house, stalkers traveling across the country to harass you etc.
Awhile ago I read a blog post by someone who had stuck to an uberman schedule longer than most. From what I remember social pressure was part of the reason he stopped but more than that it was just very inflexible. Missing a nap would throw off his sleep schedule so he had to plan all his activities around napping every ~3.5 hours. That made it difficult to be spontaneous and any unexpected things that came up could end up having an outsized impact. Might be less of an issue with other polyphasic sleep schedules though, uberman seems like a bit of an extreme.
Internet Explorer has less than a 2% market share in the US, so under normal circumstances (given the sacrifices you’d have to make everywhere else) not bothering to support is is often a sensible decision. When it’s an access to healthcare issue though you can’t really exclude 2% of users.

That said, building something that works well on mobile (re your point b) but also works on internet explorer is a pretty tough ask. No reason you couldn’t build a basic bitches version of the site that works on old devices, then route traffic these based on user agent.

Idk, points a through c are basically already solved problems. I’d be disappointed to see problems like that if I was spending $20,000 let alone millions. Issue d though does feel like the sort of thing that you didn’t know was on the horizon up front, would be a pretty major rebuild to add in later on.
Are you saying there was no violence by protestors on the Republic day? Would appreciate some references for the same.
Yeah, but if it got done in time but works so poorly that no one is using it, does that model actually work for anything other than being able to say "we got it done"?
Thank you very much for your story too. I'm actively locked in a functional alcoholic state and have been on-and-off for almost three decades. I find I can do a month sober but then I just get back on it afterwards.
I've tried weed of various types and in nearly every form factor but have been unable to shake the potency of it (makes me super paranoid and that's not a manageable side effect for me).

However, when I do have it, it's impossible for me to drink so it's hard to look past it's effectiveness in trying to treat the root issue, alcoholism.

My question to you is, what's a small dose for you and how are you vaping it?

Thanks again, I am going back on the wagon today so this thread has been particular interesting.

Contrary perspective: only avoid frameworks when you can be assured your project is (and will remain) so narrow that it has no need of validation libraries and the like.
Also a problem if you're working with airlines, medium to large companies over 15 years old, the government, etc. Etc. Comments like these are why the people who have to interface with actual customers get so mad with development teams.
Can't we throw away the information implied by the contract that resulted in something worthless?

(I'm not taking the dismissive 'this is easy' side of the argument here, but the project failed, the lessons learned need to start there, not with the terms of the contract)
I imagine in the enterprise space there could be a desire to have cheap simple to manage machines to give to employees or BYOD with a subscription service to manage cloud compute resources for things like CAD. Lots of enterprises don't like being in the internal IT management and compute hardware hosting business, they're in the business of making whatever they're designing in the CAD software. We've already seen this kind of migration to cloud services for other kinds of business processes.

Rennaissance paintings of the Virgin Mary, for which ultramarine blue was the traditional expensive pigment, are as vivid today as when they were painted five centuries ago. Mineral pigments like ultramarine (i.e., finely ground lapis lazuli) are essentially perfectly lightfast. Cobalt blue is a metal rather than a silicate but still considered gold standard lightfast where artists are concerned: Chinese pottery has used it for millenia and shown no tendency to change hue. Cobalt blue is toxic but ultramarine isn't.

It's possible that YinMn is similarly lightfast, but the historical blues remain cheaper and more than lightfast enough for virtually any artist concerned with longevity.
>Honestly, frameworks like Rails or Django are an anti-pattern for Golang.

Which is, IMHO, the biggest thing holding Go back. The standard library does a lot but a lot is also missing. Authentication, db migration, admin panels, ORM, Asset pipeline and probably more. It's a lot of custom work to do or pulling in various libraries.

Unfortunately, personal responsibility has gone down the absolute shitter in the USA, hence why they are limiting our liberties - those only work in a society of nice people.

I was being slightly hyperbolic. A proper definition of free speech - not my definition - is that it is the freedom to speak without interference _from the government_. So fines, jail time or anything else driven by the government is out. This I can agree with to a large extent.

Free speech does not, and has never, meant the right to be free of consequences for your speech, or the right to speak anonymously in public, or to have your identity hidden. Free speech does not give you the God-given right to post anything you like to any service or publication. You can’t force the NYT to put your opinion on their home page and you can’t, or at least shouldn’t be able to, force Twitter to spread your lies.

And, again in my opinion, if someone does say something harmful then there needs to be accountability. That means that if someone is hurt by someone else’s speech, then the victim should be able to sue or otherwise take action against the perpetrator.

Here’s the problem. Sites like Twitter and others can publish anonymous hate speech while hiding behind the CDA. This means neither the anonymous asshole nor the profitable company can be touched, and this is causing huge damage to our society.

The solution seems pretty simple. Anonymous speech should be the responsibility of the platform, and subject to civil action against the platform. Speech published by platforms which is not anonymous can and should be the responsibility of the individual making the claims.

This simple change would force platforms to moderate all their anonymous content, instead of the current, low cost statistical methods they are obviously using today.

Also, it does not mean that speech can’t be published anonymously. It just means that the service must know the details of the writer, and that the anonymity of a user can be uncloaked by a court.

Note that this is how “letters to the editor” worked for a very long time.

If you like your privacy, then don’t intentionally invade the privacy of others, or otherwise harm them, with your lies.
Functions like GetTickCount() need to read the tick count which is updated by the interrupt. Changing the behavior of GetTickCount() would be difficult and would likely be less efficient. So, NT can't become completely tickless - there needs to be an interrupt to increment that counter.

Realistically there will almost always be some thread that wants to wake up then so the recurring interrupt probably doesn't cost anything.
Yes, that's a good way to put it. I've been campaigning against this trend for a while in any project I'm involved in [https://jeffhuang.com/designed_to_last/]. The toolchain is simply bloated, and pieces brittle. Many of the projects out there would not last past an OS upgrade.

I think you really misread my intention there. I was not trying to say Norway is better than America, or that your experience would be the same. I think you are reading a ton of stuff between the lines which is not there.

All I am saying is that it is useful to look at a country that is farther ahead in the transition process to get an idea of how your own reality will look in the future.

Don't build this up to something it isn't. I was not trying to make a pissing contest between the US an Norway ;-)
I don't think Go will see something even close to Django until generics are merged.
When did we have the last nationwide vaccination campaign, whats the "legacy"? Pretty sure that was when IBM still made tabulators.

I think you will find that if only there was someone in charge to put their foot down, you can do without a whole lot of these things. But that's part of the problem of course: the government contracting out is just a bunch of clueless people making up a wish list with a partner on the other side whose only inclination is to say yes to everything.
You could also make the case that it's just the shorts that are covering so they don't end up like GME.
It's true that ordinary property can't be copied, but its use can be quite scalable. For example, many people can hunt in a large forest at the same time or fish the same giant lake, and enjoy its outputs in an effectively non-rivalrous way. (This changes if we shift from rod-and-reel fishing to nets and boats, of course.)
The US federal government employs over 4 million people. The employees at the CDC probably never heard of the problems with the obamacare website, let alone had the chance to learn any lessons from the people involved.

> They're supposed to be the best we have. They won a vote after all.

These mistakes aren't made by the politicians you elected. They're made by civic servants. Civic servants are employed from the pool of people who apply. And the belief that "only stupid people work in government" perpetuates this exact problem - because it ensures anyone who's capable of good work stays far away from work that could make the government more effective.

I think the right approach to problems like this is to route these decisions through dedicated government departments who are qualified to do IT work. The real question is why the US Digital Services (which knows what they're doing) wasn't contacted to create this website.
The future: "it's the Internet Jim, but not as we know it" -Spock
One way to do income tax would be that if you get paid $60,000 then your employer gives you $60,000 and at the end of the year you have to cut a check to the IRS for e.g. $18,000. The problem with this is that if you give people $60,000 then a lot of them spend all $60,000 and come tax time they don't have the tax money and you need to start having tax debtors prisons or something. The analogous thing for a UBI would be that you get all the money on one day of the year, whether it's January 1st or December 31st or July 4th, and then some people spend all the money immediately and starve to death six months later.

What we do instead is withholding. Your employer is to pay you $60,000/year, i.e. $5000/month, but instead of actually giving you $5000/month, they give you $3500/month and give the rest directly to the IRS. Then you don't owe anything at the end of the year and a lot of people actually get some back because they took out more than they needed to.

The reconciliation period for this is in the law somewhere but in principle it can be whatever you want. It could be instantaneous. As soon as you get your paycheck, the employer cuts one to the IRS at the same time.

With a negative income tax, some people would have a negative withholding amount. So the IRS would cut a check to the employer and then the employer would include that money in your paycheck.

So what happens if there is no employer? Well, then you're the employer. You're a sole proprietor making $0. So you fill out the paperwork with the IRS to reconcile your withholding, which would be in a negative amount, and they send you a check (or direct deposit the money in your bank account). There is no reason in principle that they couldn't do this as soon as you fill out the paperwork, i.e. on March 1st the instant you lose your other job and become a sole proprietor with no income.
That’s not my experience.

I was hired for a particular engagement with Microsoft years ago by a similar firm. Microsoft needed x, the firm had nobody so they put out an urgent call and passed me off like I was one of their long-time employees.

I think it’s safe to say nobody has a bench of 146 people ready to go at a moment’s notice.
The last time the US government made something to be proud of was 50 years ago with the Apollo program. Counter examples welcome!
Sure, but that isn't the topic I was responding to. The previous poster suggested that its not a topic that anyone talks about, when it is; and suggested that businesses hiring fewer people is the only possible outcome/side-effect, when it isn't.
> but please do not push this attitude as the “morally right one” unto everyone else.

I will push whatever I want to, thank you. Insurance is supposed to provide healthcare. It isn't supposed to judge what is a good life. I shouldn't have to pay extra for care that I was always paying for because you're mad your rates went up. Don't like it, don't buy the care. Ridiculous assumption to let society decide when people should live and die.

It's also unnecessary to. On the populations we are talking about, individual cases like people living long on chemo in miserable lives to die are counteracted by people who died way younger. It's easy to calculate the risk and spread that among insurance holders.
Then they're idiots.

If they want to hedge against inflation they would be buying real estate, equities and commodities - not magical monopoly money.

The SEC stopped Hertz from issuing shares because the prospectus was basically "even with this infusion of cash we're going to go bankrupt and you'll lose all your money." The ideal meme stock would be one where the company has short-term cashflow problems and so is heavily shorted by investors expecting it to go bankrupt, but which aren't actually just doomed money pits.
Interesting reference. I'm not sure I agree with their conclusion that "even the smallest variation in a clocking signal can be enough to create data transfer errors." Citation needed, as the kids say.

http://SmartestMan.Ca/bankmath explains that interest is not usury when paid at the beginning of the contract, only usury when collection is attempted at the end. If you borrow 100 and at the end, owe 110, you can't pay it back. that creates a mort-gage death-gamble where not all can pay. If you borrow 100, pay the interest right away, you owe 100 and have 90 and the banker has 10 with which to buy your products and let you pay the bank back. Musical chairs with money only happens when you leave the interest to turn into usury at the end of the game.
Yeah, but that is kind of irrelevant with respect to how the grid operates. Norway doesn't have 25% energy sitting there unused, ready for EVs. Quite the contrary, Norway uses pretty much all of its power. Norway's economy is built around it. We have a lot of really power hungry industry developed here over many years due to access to large amounts of cheap electric power.

In fact there is a battle over building wind turbines in Norway now, because we need them to cover higher future electricity demand from EVs. And of course nobody wants them in their backyard.
Almost all India threads that mention the Indian government and the ruling BJP have supporters jumping in to support their party. I assume this happens a little more when the parties are extreme right/left wing.

They arrive via whatsapp groups asking members for support and a link. Soon enough the targeted sites end up being downvote/upvote bot parties unless there is strong moderation.

The media in India is muzzled similarly unless you do propaganda. Individuals online are equally bullied, muzzled, and in some cases killed. The country has currently imprisoned a stand up comedian for jokes "he might" make because he is not of the right religion.
You don't need a long document for me to tell you stadia sucks. I tried it out over the holiday season, games play fine but I couldn't ever get clear 1080p resolution out of it. I'm on symetrical gig fiber in Colorado, which I guess could be my downfall.
When I walk around my town at midnight, I often stand and notice how the lights just reveal empty space everywhere. Nobody is around. Nobody is even using the all that light! Driving at night would be dangerous without light of course, but that's why they have headlights. Those lights are burning all night long and they're not even doing anything.

People seem to abhor silence and emptiness. They hate it, or maybe they're afraid of it. They always want to fill it with something.

I love to walk around in the middle of the night because the car traffic around here virtually stops and silence and some degree of darkness returns. The busyness goes away. I'm always amazed that I rarely see anyone else out at night. Don't others crave emptiness too?

The great thing about the First Amendment is that people's rights don't end based on the opinion of one ignorant person. And the great thing about the Second Amendment is that it exists to protect the First Amendment, because the founding fathers knew there would eventually be ignorant people who didn't understand the underlying purpose of the First Amendment.

I'm not even trying to be passive aggressive here (I'm aware it sounded that way initially), it's the literal truth. Give it a re-read. (I should make that into a bumper sticker)

That thinking is exactly the reason why this system turned out to be problematic. Even if it wasn't for healthcare purposes, bottom line is - you have to know who your 'actual users' are. Elderly people (60s and above) are still heavy IE users and so are quite a few government offices. If these 2% of overall browser users are the majority of your users or your early users, then not supporting them becomes a problem.
