>>That's a very vague definition -- I wouldn't say that Tesla is producing wildly better cars than everyone else on the market. They're certainly very profitable, but if you're only thinking about profit marging and stock price, then you're going to end up opposing literally anything that improves worker conditions in any way.

1. Strength of industry is pretty commonly understood by its profitability. And profitability and worker conditions are positively correlated, so they are in no way opposing each other. The profitability of Tesla and the export revenue being brought into the US by Tesla's market success means more spending by Tesla on US-based operations which applies upward pressure on US wages. This is Economics 101.

2. If people are choosing their cars over other cars, that means they are producing better cars. Consumer choice is the only objective measure of quality we have.

3. Tesla is driving the entire car industry forward, by encouraging other auto makers to embrace electric cars, and also self-driving features, while expanding the recharging infrastructure needed for widespread use of electric vehicles.

>>And your solution to that is to oppose people's rights to collectively bargain?

If by "right to collectively bargain", you mean having laws that force companies to collectively bargain with unions, yes. Companies should be free to decide who to negotiate with, and free to reject requests to collectively bargain. The laws, as they are, are problematic.

I can judge whether I had a good time, but is it the waiter's time things took long or was somebody in the kitchen slow or some other customer holding them up? Is the stain on the table the fault from the waiter not replacing everything or the boss's policy? etc. And if the food and my company is great even the worst waiter has little impact in that.

The waiter is the face of the establishment, but there are many things out of the control of even the best server.

> That is the basic business model of most retail banks.

Right

> All of those business cases already exist in a reasonably accessible form.

Disagree. I live in a wealthy EU country and payments from my bank account have been frozen many times for several days because, e.g., I sent a modest amount via Western Union. I essentially had to say "sorry, wont happen again" to get access to my own money. I am unable to get certain credit from my bank because of my employment contract (i.e. rolling yearly contract) even though I have a good income and savings. And what's the interest rate on deposits in the developed countries, 0-1%? Negative interest rates are being applied to certain deposit accounts in my country.

I see DeFi lending as a different business case just by way of its global nature and overall accessibility. Another commenter mentions that its just used to buy crypto, i.e., it's a house of cards. That some people currently use it for leverage is irrelevant. Middlemen have been completely removed from lending and exchange via DeFi and it can't be undone now. Even with strict KYC/AML and regulation at crypto off-ramps it can't be undone.

It’s just too bad they keep getting recycled into the clubhouse. If investors really wanted to stop propping up mindlessly ambitious self important people, they need to stop giving them money and maybe look for entrepreneurs who actually know what they are doing.
Perhaps Parler wasn’t a true free speech platform, ie one that moderated only the legal bare minimum. But, even if it’s true that it was friendly to only end of the political spectrum, at least it was a competitor to Twitter. The elimination of the sole significant direct competitor to Twitter, even one that represents a subset of views and not all speech, is the problem. It means there’s a tech oligopoly.

I’d love to see a decentralized free speech platform. I’m no blockchain evangelist, but it would seem like such technology could be used to build a real online “public square” as you say.
I was about to reply that you needed to mention the Xbox, but you edited just in time!

Still, at any moment in time, it can be hard to decide on what product you want.

With PS2 you got PS1 backwards compatibility. With PS3, you got PS1 and PS1... if you got the original 60GB. But then the 40/80GB were released without it.

With PS4, they updated with PS4 Pro. And now there's PS5 and Digital Edition. This isn't as bad as I believe the specs are the same and the disk drive is the only difference.

But now Xbox Series S and X actually have a big difference in performance in addition to the disk drive! As someone that wants top performance but doesn't want the drive... ugh. Maybe the drives should be accessories... but consoles are too much like PCs already!
NYTimes opinion piece on the need to appoint a “reality czar”
Oh, they care about privacy just the way they care about security: valuable and actionable data about you should belong to them.

Their security people are top-notch. They guard your data very diligently. If they did not, you would not trust them with intimate details about your life.

Your privacy is the same. They will keep your data private *from their competitors*, but they will fully enjoy using it for their own purposes.

It is ludicrous to think that an advertising company, whose value proposition is precisely in its ability to target users accurately, would willingly impair their ability to do so.

They will, however, gladly make it difficult for their competition.
> providing credit to people to speculate on cryptocurrencies ... turtles

People do use it for leverage but who cares. It doesn't undermine the contracts, and certainly doesn't make the concept worthless. You can securely lend/borrow stablecoins globally with zero middlemen. What you do with the credit/interest is your own business.
Sure, but reality is that minimum wage laws exclude waiter positions on the basis of tipping. So if you're anti tipping you should at least make sure you're avoiding places paying less than minimum wage. & you can't know just by looking at the menu

I worked ice cream vending (https://serprex.github.io/w/Ice%20Cream%20Biker if someone wants to read a very dry recount of my first day) where half my income was from tips. The prices of the items were generally like 2.75 to encourage getting me the extra quarter. It's a weird way that the business can leverage advertising a lower price while allowing tips to average out to cover a shitty wage

Here's a cbc article on the topic where a no tips experiment failed: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/caf%C3%A9-linnea-all...
IANAL but I don't think that works can become copyrighted. It can be distributed with a license for free use, but then that license can't be revoked after the fact.

The license could be non-transferable and the work can be distributed with a more restrictive license in the future by the copyright holders, or not distributed at all. None of these should affect those that use the work legitimately with the permissive license given to them in the past.

edit: Maybe if a license is revocable or not must be spelled out in the license itself. Many open licenses seem to be explicitly irrevocable.

Yeah, I dunno. I don't see why there couldn't be a challenge arm to a trial that also did a larger group with no challenges.

The challenge arm wouldn't have any influence over the other arm (and likely not much impact on recruitment), but might provide results for some groups much faster. Starting vaccinations on younger healthcare workers in August seems like it would have been a win (assuming they had data to justify it by that point).

That is asserting unsettled matters of fact.

Twitter's moderation has become partisan enough that it might be desirable to build a business on people they have kicked off. Notably Trump - while he was supremely unpopular on the left, opinion polling suggests he is leaving a more popular legacy than, eg, George W Bush. Maybe even George H.W. Bush. That is a pretty decent foundation for a business.

I think you're admitting here that you're determined from the start to assume the worst under all circumstances, success and failure, that you will never believe anything they say either way, and that no amount of reason will persuade you to give them an inch of credit or even just tolerance for them trying to do their best and it sometimes not being perfect.

I hope you aren't subject to this kind of cynical, relentless, and impossible to satisfy abuse in your job as you're dishing out to them.

I feel like you're mixing up communication overhead with the creativity of programming and they are on completely different axes.

> Isn't programming a more creative endeavour than we think?

This should be fairly obvious but programming isn't monolithic. Your experience will vary depending on your work environment and current project. So you can either put up with it (and there is still plenty of satisfaction that can be had from programming in such an environment, or from doing unglamorous work) or you can look for a job/company that operates differenly or works on more interesting problems (they're rare).

> you don't need to explain what you did to anyone in a standup. You can devote your energy to the programming instead.

These two aren't mutually exclusive. Working on a team comes with communication/meeting/status-report overhead, this doesn't need to take away from your productivity.

Could someone ELI7 why python is struggling so hard with dependencies and dependency management when in the Java world this is a solved problem and just works with maven, which is working so damn well it last got updated in November 2019, and the biggest fight going is whether you should use gradle as client instead of maven to access the same dependency ecosystem?

I had to set up Python projects for some machine learning classes in college and it was a complete mess.
Here's the first example in C++:

#include <concepts>
#include <iostream>
#include <numbers>

template<class shape>
concept Shape = requires(
shape s,
shape (&&circle)(double, double, double),
shape (&&rectangle)(double, double, double, double)) {
{ s(circle, rectangle) } -> std::same_as<shape>; };

auto Circle = [](double x, double y, double r) -> Shape auto {
return [=](auto&& circle, auto&& rectangle) { return circle(x, y, r); }; };
auto Rectangle = [](double x, double y, double w, double h) -> Shape auto {
return [=](auto&& circle, auto&& rectangle) { return rectangle(x, y, w, h); }; };

Shape auto exampleCircle = Circle(2.0, 1.4, 4.5);
Shape auto exampleRectangle = Rectangle(1.3, 3.1, 10.3, 7.7);

auto area = [](Shape auto shape) -> double { return shape(
[](auto, auto, auto r) { return std::numbers::pi * r * r; },
[](auto, auto, auto w, auto h) { return w * h; }); };

int main() {
std::cout << area(exampleCircle) << std::endl;
std::cout << area(exampleRectangle) << std::endl;
}

Of course, this is missing type-erasure, which you'd need to pass `Shape` across TU boundaries, but that's unnecessary if you're happy to use parametric polymorphism.

Europe hints at patent grab from Big Pharma

I think no one (in the article) is saying it‘s worse for privacy, or if they do that‘s an easy lie. They are saying it‘s worse for competition. A competitive online advertising market may well be in opposition to the highest level of user privacy.

The EU has both antitrust and privacy concerns with big tech, but it‘s different fronts.
Maybe the mind is partially made of dark matter or influenced by it? There are current research explorations of whether dark matter and normal matter interact in ways other than via gravity:

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/07/180713093545.h...

So if the two kinds of matter can interact it may be possible that the mind is either partially made of dark matter or influenced by dark matter. Maybe our minds experience dark matter as a kind of "weather" that has some effect on our thoughts. Maybe it is responsible for times of widespread rationality or irrationality. As (or if) we learn more about dark matter it will be interesting to think about how it may interact with our reality, including our minds.

Indeed Sony can get a bit muddied within generations, especially with the PS3 as they had to cut cost a lot from 1st gen. At least “PS4” vs. “PS4 Pro” feels clear which is “better” vs. MS’s S vs. X (one is a sedan and the other an SUV, right??) or Intel’s smattering of suffixes.
Well, your customers are mostly going to be human. For instance, I'm a human and I'd love to spend $500 for someone, who knows what they're doing, to coach/guide me over chat/email through the process of validating a business idea in a high quality way. I don't think it'd come down to more than 5h of work.

One way of scaling it that has already been done is to use the customer's humanness, by selling a book. That scales. Now, if the price point is $500 for a small but high quality business idea validation, what can you do that's better than selling a book on how to do it? Could you train coaches, who then can bill over $100/h and let the customer execute on it? Willing customer right here.

I'm European, live in Europe, and I'm perfectly aware of the service in European restaurants. I still expect "good service" when I go out to eat. I don't care about smiles or being "warm", I care about fast, efficient and correct service.

I'm not advocating the US way of doing things, and certainly don't think the service in the US is better on the whole, in fact in many ways it's worse. However what I have found is that the worst service I've had in the US is far better than the worst service I've had in Europe. I've never had terrible service in the US, and I certainly can't say the same about Europe.

I lot of people go even further and think because it's labeled "i7" it must be even faster!

At one of my previous employers they developed and sold (among a lot of other things) industrial PC hardware. One of the top running models (the one with the highest performance) had some mainstream Celeron dualcore in it at the time. One of the key customers (German automotive brand) decided, without any profiling or benchmarking whatsoever, that the performance was not good enough for their application and an "i7" was needed. Sure enough, a system with an i7 (first generation, lowest tier mobile class) was developed and the customer happily bought the hardware with less than half the performance for more than double the price. The customer didn't even have a problem with the moving mechanical parts (two fans) that were introduced in the process ... (Usually that's a KO criteria in industrial applications)

What Bill's talking about applies to artists/craftspeople/experts in a niche. Organisations are vastly more complicated than composition of music, in that many thousands of experts are needed to work together, each with their own unique expertise, versus just 1 for composition.

Managers are needed to communicate between these experts, and it should go without saying that it's impossible for them to have the same expertise as each of the 2-1000s of experts under them.

> I think we are making a lot of wrong decisions at the moment due to this stubbornness to understand the actual types of problems we're trying to solve

Almost certainly you don't understand the types of problems your manager needs to solve also.
To add to that, except for Pfizer, all the other 5 vaccine contenders chosen by the Operation Warp Speed (Moderna, J&J, Oxford-AZ, Merk, Sanofi-GSK) received money to expedite their manufacturing regardless of the vaccine being successful of not. Together they received $11 BN. What can they show for that? Excuses about microfluidics? And vials ? (did you hear the one that Moderna will start putting 15 doses in vials intended for 10, because it turn out that vials are a bottleneck too after all). They couldn't figure out the vial thing in 10 months?
