My friends have been unable to drive, without water or electricity for a few days now. Their house is slowly losing all residual heat, making its way down to ~18 degrees.

They're young and prepared, so they'll be fine. I expect there to be a lot of deaths. And then a wave of burst pipes and property damage. Many people may be going without running water for weeks or months to come.
I don't know about this. I think great engineers delete more code than they write. Perhaps something similar is relevant here.
The internet is full of vaguely conspiratorial takes involving 'elites' and I believe it has more to do with internet culture than the facts behind the 2008 financial crisis alone.

A theory recently occurred to me that I think is part of the explanation:

The rise of blogs and sites like Youtube gave independent journalists reach. Independents vastly outnumber people working in mainstream media. Yet mainstream media has more resources, more access to experts and higher production values.

So how can some rando with a webcam convince the public to watch them instead of watching 60 Minutes or reading the NYT? They can do it with the 'elites' narrative: 'Read my blog because the MSM is a tool of the elites and they only tell lies!'

And soon enough the only mainstream journalists the internet trusts are the ones who demagogue like Glen Greenwald or Tucker Carlson.

But as to the actual comment to which I am replying: it seems like the 'retail investors' who lost money on this WSB thing are suggestible marks. They enriched the kind of 'elite' they hate so much because they believed what they read on Reddit.

So it's probably good, in future, if someone treats them as children and protects them from themselves.
In general, rate limiting of connections shouldn't take place in the server itself, it should be in some upstream load manager. If your system is too small to bother with that, it's almost certainly too small to worry about blowing out the goroutines. This is not a statement about Go, it's true in general.

Even if you consult something per request, goroutines are fast enough to look at something and then decide not to do the work that, again, by the time that's a problem, the solution is to throttle upstream anyhow.
But most people won't be bothered to use other stores (just like most Android users don't use other stores).

The real solution there is forcing digital sales to include a perpetual license to the software independent of the platform. The current digital monopoly culture is against the overwhelming majority of citizens.
Here's how I'm handling it:

- Keep most of IRA in super-broad funds like VTI.

- For personal brokerage accounts, understand that the risk profile now is more like a portfolio of in the money call options than it is equities. With much higher volatility, you can keep a portion of your account in cash, and that is the dry powder you can use when the market takes a dive.

I used this strategy before Covid, had money to buy stocks last march, and it's worked beautifully. I moved some positions back into cash over the summer. Portfolio up over 100% in 2020, even with the cash.
Unfortunately, Hey is only decent at catching tracking pixels. I have my mail apps set to not load remote content, and it is obvious when an email tries to load some tracking garbage. With Hey there is no option to block remote content, but they attempt to prevent tracking and let you know, quite proudly, when they have. However, during my (evaluation of Hey I've noticed many, MANY, instances where the same email in Hey won't show any tracking pixels, but my mail app has obviously refused to load them.

I'm unimpressed with Hey's ability to prevent tracking.

OP was talking about "sowing hate"; the topic was not on unpopular opinions or view points. "...mostly old impressionable people" is a bit of an oxymoron; it's a bit arrogant that you would try to assert that "old" people are not capable of forming their own opinions or seeking out others. There will come a point in time where applying labels where they don't belong will no longer work to silence opposing views that you don't like.

The coronavirus is the common cold, folks.

Your quote from Rush is actually one of the few things that I actually agree with. The better response to this would have been to do absolutely nothing at all.

> best course of action for your average middle class software developer?

I'd say get into active investing, not passive index funds. Active investing could mean angel investing, or it could be public equity investing, but what it means is put your money into things you want to learn and help grow. That way, you greatly protect your downside. If your investment goes to zero, at least you learned stuff you are interested in along the way, made friends in the industries you like (could lead to job opps down the road), and helped nudge the world in a direction you want it to go. You'll probably make plenty of mistakes in the first 10 years, but by the second decade you'll be better at it and then if your second decade performance is good you can beat the passive markets and get all those benefits at the same time.

It's a real shame the USA has made it hard for individuals to invest in stuff they know.

They are not. Memory-safety issues continue to impact major C/C++ codebases such as the Linux kernel and Chromium, sometimes manifesting as security vulnerabilities.

The only advice I have to offer (which may be terrible advice!) is to keep a big chunk of your investment portfolio in cash (10-25%.) If you maintain your target weights in how you allocate your contributions and also by rebalancing a couple of times per year, you'll effectively be automatically buying low & selling high.
> Google can on the whole accomplish its revenue goals without being a meat grinder. So why be one?

This is a great take. I've worked in a place where the revenue was astronomical, to the point where the entire company could probably do nothing for 100 years and still be viable, yet it was run like a meat grinder, where everyone did insane hours and you always worried that it wouldn't be enough and you would be stack ranked out of a job. Truly awful, because it was so unnecessary. On the other hand, I've worked for a start-up with a visibly short runway, where it was obvious to everyone that if everyone didn't bust their asses, the company would fail. At least there you have an actual reason to be a meat grinder.

I think a lot of companies could succeed yearly and make Wall Street happy and still not be a meat grinder, but some sick, stubborn cultural norm makes "meat grinder" the default mode of operation.

I am by no means a reference for financial matters, so I tend to think about big-picture macro-optimisations. In other words: what is fundamentally true, and must therefore always remain true?

One fundamental truth is that tangible, material assets will always outlast virtual assets. In an extreme financial crisis, owning a house is better than owning cash, for example. If you follow this reasoning to its logical conclusion, buying is better than investing (in the financial sense of the word). Or, if you prefer: invest in material assets that are of real use. Optimize these purchases to reduce your tax burden. Put yourself in a position to "hold out".

How far along this reasoning you go depends on your threat model.

Aren’t Americans too “spendy” to have that happen here? The main driver of the stagflation in Japan is that they’re too thrifty - their stimulus are literally expiring credit cards, forcing people to spend money.
I wonder when will be the first merger notably affected by tidal influence from a third body; or if that has already happened.
the risk in being in cash is much greater than anywhere else

Technology is deflationary, growth in tech looks to be the least risky. Technology has prevented inflation and will for a while. I think the only lever the US has for inflation is largely in housing as it makes up something like 50% of the CPI.

Fixed assets are very inflated but I would like to think the commercial market will take a hit before the residential market. Some factories, plants, and office space is worthless in a world with zoom, solar, and electric cars.

Buy a house, money is cheap. At least you'll have a roof over your head and it will be easier to pay off the loan if there is any kind of inflation that the government has said they want.

Thought you should know, "yinz" is extremely regional and not nearly as recognizable as other dialectal/regional words meaning the same thing. You probably have a very low hit-rate comprehension-wise using it, considering it can be replaced with more easily recognizable words, especially for foreigners (though it's far from certain that people from the US but not from Pittsburgh or thereabouts will immediately recognize it).

I don't think OP was in the entertainment industry. He has worked with several large companies at a very senior level and has never experienced anything like what is alleged to occur in the entertainment industry.
As the article states, he was one of the first of his type of conservative DJs, so I think it's fair to put him at the front of the parade, rather than just going along for the ride.
what % of people do you think would be willing to stop using search engines because they are unethical?
And yet, they are tech hubs? How does this differ from devs in Montana be California ?

More to the point, are other professions doing notably better in those “tech hubs” relative to software developers ?

In my experience, no, which suggests your comment really boils down to “there are some high COL places where even professional couples struggle to afford a house” no?
Playing advocate for the idea:

There are a lot more people far away from you than there are close to you. If breaking your security requires physical proximity (such as to steal a yubikey), then you are much safer just based on this. It's also easier for people to blindly steal credentials for millions of people online than it is for them to steal millions of physical security keys.

Alternatively, passwords are commonly reused across websites, so a failure of any of those websites can lead to a compromise of all of them, which is not the case with a YubiKey. Along that same line of thought, passwords are phishable, where YubiKeys are not.

It's also possible that people in your physical proximity could shoulder surf your password, install a keylogger (which could be a physical keylogger, if you normally use a USB keyboard, not just software), or use a strategically positioned camera to do some digital shoulder surfing. Passwords aren't immune to trust issues when it comes to physical proximity. Ideally, you trust those you are near to some extent.

YubiKey also has a fingerprint-protected device coming out soon[0]... which would raise the bar for the threat model in this discussion some. Using a fingerprint and/or PIN to unlock a YubiKey preserves most of the benefits, while eliminating most of the concerns that people are mentioning. HSMs can choose to self-erase after a certain number of failed PIN attempts, so even a short PIN is not something that can easily be brute forced without an unpatched vulnerability.

If websites would allow you to only use any one of your YubiKeys to authenticate (obviously meaning you can have multiple, with backup YubiKeys stored somewhere safe in case you lose your main one), I think that would be a significant improvement in security over password authentication for most people. This is basically what the WebAuthn standard is attempting to do. I don't expect most people to be interested in buying 3 security keys and carrying one around all the time, though.

As the head of Waze, the author was the one responsible for setting the OKRs that people were judged against. He also had final say in promotions. If people were getting promoted for the wrong things, it was directly their fault.

>They were fantastic but caused a huge divide between the people that abused them and the people that worked their butts off.

Who was forcing these people to "work their butts off"? There are some people who seem to always feel that nothing is good enough and who put in unreasonable amounts of hours. If that's demanded by management (say, by a CEO who things that working weekends is OK), that's a cultural problem. On the other hand, there's a uniquely American problem with fetishizing long hours and no perks. People in general aren't "abusing" perks, they're taking advantage of them. If people are having to "work their butts off" on a regular basis, then teams need to be better at setting cadence and expectations. Once in a great while some crunch time will happen, but in general people shouldn't be having to work more than 40 hours.
I see absolutely no problem with GMOs and the fact that they increase yields tremendously is great for feeding people.

The problem I see is the reliance on abusive monopolies like Monsanto, and the fact that they are not being regulated out of existence. This is not a GMO problem, it is a Monsanto et al problem with abusive one-sided contracts, forcing farmers into poverty, suing farmers, overcharging for pesticides.
Could you elaborate on your point? It sounds like you have something interesting to add to the discussion, but it's getting lost in snark. I for one would like to know what Japan can teach us about this question.
That is surprising, and unfortunate. I believe this will ultimately have to change. The percentage of people blocking remote content will only go up. I block ALL remote content in my emails, and there is nothing that will convince me to stop doing that.

They went to the platform because the iPhone was rapidly gaining popularity and they gained access to a captive market.

He was certainly a producer of our times, in that he fanned many flames and attracted a fanbase/cult whose actions/opinions he informed. But he was also a product of our times, in that people with a media platform/spotlight now have the tools to make money by leading the masses, whereas such opportunity wasn't available before the explosion of broadcast/cable media, subsequently amplified by social media.

I think it's just really dated and comes across weird.
The anti-gmo folks have done themselves no favors by often pushing scare stories about food safety that aren't backed up by actual facts. More complicated issues--like control of the food supply by large-scale ag and chemical companies--take effort to understand. Even seemingly straightforward issues like seed-saving aren't so much in the real world of today's farmers. Even the projections of how much food we really need to produce when we're throwing away so much now are debatable.
Except in the real world when we see games offered in multiple places (e.g. Steam and the Epic Game Store) they are usually the same price.

In other words, any savings from the developer cut is simply kept by the developer, not passed onto the consumer.
Sorry, when I said "clear ideological point" I meant "clear that some ideological point was being made", not that it was clear what the message was. I thought I made that clear by immediately pointing out that people disagree on what the point of the story is.

The fact that I'm even having to make this clarification is kind of the point of my argument. And that you can even argue that it wouldn't be clear that 1984 is trying to make a point is evidence that text is not inherently clear.

Also, I don't know how you can claim that it's easier to tell what text is documenting than a picture. It's much easier to lie with text.

A few people have made the point about boycotts being against organizations and cancels being against individuals.

I don’t see the material difference there, what about it being an individual makes you feel it’s different?

Your last point is intriguing to me.

If I were to simply not watch films with Gina Carano in them anymore, would you still say I’m canceling her?
Yeah dude...being horny by nature is no excuse for that kind of behaviour. Yes it is realistic to expect people will not sexually take advantage of others just because they're horny and the other person is dressed in a way that 'taunts' them.

It happens all the time. There's millions of horny people out there every day not sexually assaulting people.
> So if the goal was to reduce transmission, you can save a lot of lives of those at risk by vaccinating the young and healthy.

Has this been tested yet? Is there evidence that this is true beyond the broad population surveys like those from Israel? (The accuracy of those data were hotly debated here last week.)

Surely a study to determine actual transmission rates would be much more complex than one to determine whether young & healthy people are infected after inoculation (which again: not that useful of a data point by itself)?

Making a decision on what to use for authentication should rely on a risk assessment. Of course normal people will not do it, but at least what we provide them should meet their needs.

99.7% of people will get their password stolen because they use only one on each service. It will get stolen on some shady site, and then checked against the same email on gmail.com.

The remaining 0.3% of the users will have their laptop stolen, together with the key. The thief will the re-image the laptop to sell it and throw the key away.

Finally, 1723 geeks in the world need to make sure they use 8 FA so they will be fine.

There are also enterprise users (35.8%) who will get something from their company which marry a PIN to an OTP and they will be fine.

In other words: yay yubikey! instead of password.

Note: the percentages not only are invented but do not add up to 100%. The first one is probably very, very underestimated.
Note that the "2009" is quite important, a few things here are solved (though with the usual odd interface if you're not used to it).
