The utilization of government assistance is the utilization of force and violence. If a small number of players do this, it is not a free market, was my main point. If there is a way to utilize government, it should come with the strings attached by which the government itself is nominally controlled (granted, the government itself ignores those strings, but it would be a step in the right direction, imo).

I don't think they do, our whole job as an API company is to have uptime (and redundancy for uptime). I think it's the same with every other API company, such as Sendgrid, Twilio and etc.

User endpoints on the other hand, fail all the time, and often require a few retries.

With that being said, we plan on having client side (in our libraries) redundancy (try another endpoint if one fails), and ways for you to gracefully handle errors locally for users who need this.

That’s not really an accurate comparison. Stocks are ownership in a company, which is still subject to all of the realities of operating a company. We can’t simply continue trading Hertz stock as a speculative gamble when the company goes under.

Yes, cycles of hype and supply and demand do distort stock prices, but it’s still a capital allocation market. GameStop can choose to sell shares into the hot market, much as AMC did, to raise money. Buyers of those shares are allocating capital into the company.

One of the draws of Bitcoin as a speculative instrument is that there are no fundamentals. Without fundamentals, there is no mechanism to suggest if it’s undervalued or overvalued. The only thing a Bitcoin purchase funds is more energy expenditure on mining.

Free education and healthcare isn't "free as in beer" in that you could have a "tax" on education when/if the education pays dividends (i.e. the person becomes a doctor) then they can pay it off, if their income never exceeds say 100k then they never have to pay it off.

If we can value one career over another then surely we can pay for those who choose to go into less pay-worthy but still necessary jobs like teachers.

As for healthcare single-payer would save lives and money and cut costs across the board, pretty sure that's a win-win for everybody without anything being "free" because you know we all pay for it out of taxes.

Free as in Beer would be my tax money going to pay for fancy toys for military and police that I'll never use, or the money that politicians get for siding against the people and for big business.

The "original function" of stocks hasn't gone away. The S&P 500 paid out half a trillion dollars in dividends last year, and performed another half trillion or so in stock buy-backs.

Trading happens on the pure derivative of stock prices, yeah, and people get rich off of it, sure, but ignoring the trillion dollars a year that flows from the profits on the economic activities of the S&P 500 back to the investors in the stock is ... oversimplifying things.

> there are prepaid visa/mc cards which can give you anonymity while still using card.

There kind of isn't, at least in Sweden. The option that does exist is a seedy borderline scam with exorbitant overhead and hidden usury fees, which will effectively confiscate your remaining money a few months in.

Also, in stark contrast to real cash, it still results in a log of all the transactions and ties them up to one weakly pseudonymous identity which will be re-identified at one single purchase with an identifiable connection, or could by from a collection of weaker clues. That is, for instance, goodbye to ever using it for anything with an account, unless you also want to announce you probably bought everything else the card was ever used for.

It's cheaper to dump toxic waste in the bay than to have someone neutralize it as well, and personally I'm positively delighted the resulting products cost more instead. There are lots discounts that should be shunned, and in my opinion this one is a prime example.

> Honestly the only reason this is controversial is because of “skin color” and the current political climate.

Inherent in assuming a skin color is the implied association between, for example, intelligence and skin color.

"I'm surprised you're black," is not so far off from the acknowledged insult, "You're really $X for a woman."

WRT your example, anger issues are stereotypically associated with red hair, so there could be an implied "you have anger issues" that goes with that. "Oh, no reason," is also a very common deflection when being called out for poor assumptions or implied insults.

It's not going to happen for a while yet. There is more money chasing fewer opportunities so we see equity asset inflation. This is exacerbated by increasing industrial centralization and the longest period of low interest rates on record, causing the average retail investors' only logical choice to be to put it in the market - be that index funds or individual "meme stocks". And if you don't? Inflation will slowly eat away at the money you've worked hard for. Classic TINA and "No Good Choices"/Catch-22.

One reason for less interest today in heirloom products that last forever: falling birthrates often mean that just one person is inheriting all the possessions left behind by multiple people.

Yep, as they raised a round of capital. The people buying Hertz then were out of their minds.
It's a persuasive argument, and one I've used myself.

One danger is if the affordance is triggered accidentally. For example, my kids like pushing buttons and swiping when I wouldn't think to do those things and accidentally switch apps or enter into guided access modes without meaning to. In my case I occasionally trigger things like sticky keys unintentionally.

Another danger is if application developers start assuming that they can rely on users knowing hidden affordances and use swiping, double-tapping, force pressing, right-clicking, etc in the core application workflow. Not an Android iOS example, but last night one of my kids started playing Stardew Valley as their first non-tablet game. It has a steep learning curve since it relies on multiple different keyboard keys and on differentiating between right and left-click, whereas I wouldn't consider right-clicking to be a novice skill.
> I don’t think it is possible to create a Python library that is not publicly available through pypi/pip, but can be installed in cloud functions

Of course it is possible. You can set up your own PEP 503 [0] compliant repository, even unreachable outside your VPC, and use pip to install from it. One caveat: on GCF you can -- if I'm not mistaken -- only install Python-only libraries; but if you use Cloud Run you can install anything inside your container.

There are servers for hosting your own PEP503 repo, such as devpi [1] -- but ultimately you only need a Web server to serve the file index.

> quirks mode?

Quirks mode was a necessary measure to ensure backwards compatibility for a majority of websites at the time (circa 2000 - this was IE5).

If they had switched every website to standards mode, most of the internet at the time would have appeared broken, and people would have blamed Microsoft, not the websites.

(To be fair, IE5 through IE7 had a very broken standards mode, but it was much less broken than quirks mode.)
Hard disagree. Language is fluid, get used to it.
It's also something of a continuum. I was an IT industry analyst working for a small firm. This made me acutely aware of consciously picking a point on that continuum. We definitely tended to be more generalist than analysts at big firms who knew narrow areas inside out--and therefore we were better at drawing connections between different topics. By the same token, we needed to be narrow enough to have genuinely deeper knowledge about some set of related technology areas than a more casual observer would have.

I still do something similar within a vendor today and I do find myself having to consciously tell myself "It's OK not to understand much about $X technology area."
> That, however, is one of the reasons I spend so much time working on recommender systems. There is always an algorithm. The default one promotes rage, controversy and misinformation. But we don’t have to stick with the default.

No we don't. But does anyone think that Twitter would have risen as it has if it did not select for rage and controversy? There is an algorithm on another layer of the stack that filters out more neutral content: The free choices of users in an open market. If Twitter (et al.) did make an effort to screen out its most viral content it would simply lose market share to a platform that doesn't.

In addition to what you said, you need these DRIs to actually care. And they need a good mechanism for feedback since they’re not going to know what’s broken if everyone is afraid of harshly criticizing or even cancelling the entire product.

You need Steve Jobs at the top. What happens with DRIs today at Apple is complacency sets in since no one is complaining, feedback (demo days with Steve) is getting weaker and less threatening. And, shitty ideas get democratized and perpetuated since no one is there to put an end to it.
Does BI developer classify as programming career?

- Requirements taking from business owners

- Data modelling for data warehouses

- Writing Python code for transaformation (from source table to data warehouse tables) and their scheduling as we are following ELT but EL parts are taken care by HQ

- Writing Python code for alerts, monitoring and dashboarding (using the excellent Dash library)

- Huge amount of SQL

If the answer is yes then I did switch to a programming career when I'm two years from 40. I'd really love to do more ETL but sadly HQ took away most of the job.

How much game piracy happens these days? Since steam became such a good distribution platform and my internet connection got fast I haven’t even thought about pirating a game. AAA titles are expensive, but there aren’t a ton of them released every year, and downloading cracked installers is a huge security risk.
I think the conclusion sums it up:

> There is always an algorithm. The default one promotes rage, controversy and misinformation. But we don’t have to stick with the default.

And I guess the real problem is that the financial incentives are set up such that sites like Facebook are motivated to choose[1] algorithms that are most suited at stoking engagement via rage and controversy.

> If so, Moxie Marlinspike's method for becoming a billionaire by creating non-profit 501(c)(3) organization and providing Signal's source code is a very strange way to cash out of a unicorn.

On the contrary:

Step 1: The service is already centralized

Step 2: Make the central service closed source: happening now.

Step 3: A no profit can be turned for-profit or used together with a for-profit (e.g. IKEA)

Signal can become a perfect example of bait-and-switch market capture.
I created my own bubble on Facebook. People would write or share these inflammatory political posts I disagreed with, but I just knew if I commented it would cause contention (which I wanted to avoid since these are my friends), so instead I "unfollowed". A few dozen unfollows later, and I'm now magically in a bubble where my feed is devoid of inflammatory political posts!

> I don't think this will happen.

Do you mean you don't think they'll compete with Twitch, or you don't think they'll compete with Steam and Amazon?

Personally I think investing in GME today is no different than investing in Blockbuster ten years ago. Competing with Steam is a terrible idea. EA tried it with Origin and despite having huge exclusive franchises, they're essentially throwing in the towel by abandoning the Origin branding and moving their newest titles back to Steam. There are also few physical goods to ship anymore so the experience in selling pet supplies online is irrelevant. Something like 80% of PS5s sold are the digital-only model; they don't even have a disk drive (and 99% of modern PCs don't have one either.)

Most of GameStop's profit was on used games. A game would get purchased, completed in a few days, then sold back to GameStop. When GameStop re-sells it as used, that's pure profit; the original publisher doesn't get a cut. Rinse and repeat a few times and within a few weeks of the launch of a game, GameStop has made more money off of it than the game developers. This is no longer possible with digital game sales. These games are locked to accounts and cannot be individually transferred. (And if you think GameStop's digital storefront will support game resales to try to capture this profit, no publisher in their right mind would publish their games on it!)
And "litterbug" was a term invented by the packaging industry in a PR campaign that shifted blame about packaging waste from the manufacturers to the consumers.

This is a low-effort content marketing fluff piece that just says this company's recommendation engine has a "serendipity knob." It avoids the pernicious bits like how business models built on eyeball engagement result in a death march towards maximizing engagement metrics, and engineering the most addictive filter bubble has proven a pretty effective way to juice some PM's quarterly numbers.

Make a post on how to break that model, don't say "we have a serendipity knob tuned to 9.4%!"
