Not OP but I’d like to say that the real consequences from a big, multifaceted subject, be it government policy, the direction of a large institution, war, aren’t readily apparent until a decade or more later.

I’ll use Google as an example. In 2010 they were generally seen as one of the “good” companies. They seemed more supportive of open source, such as developing android, they were going into new business niches where incumbent companies had once dominated, such as with google docs competing with Microsoft office. The promoted less tacky advertising, discouraging flashy banner ads in favor of plain text, And they had free email. Google certainly had its critics back then, but a lot of the criticisms was more abstract, such as its ad based business model, and relationship with China before they left.

Now Google has many more critics and many reasons to dislike the company. The company was successful because of its focus on engineering and revenue from ads. What made it successful is leading to its downfall. You have small business owners claiming it commits anticompetitive behavior with ads and search; antitrust regulators are looking at the company. Google has terrible customer service, with paying customers, shutting down access for unknown reasons and provides no avenue for remedy. Android has become a walled garden because of its play store and no cellphone manufacturer is going to develop its own version of android because of fear that they will lose access to googles android. The company comes up with shiny new products only to cancel development and support two years later when it hasn’t been an explosive success.

I remember in 2012 talking to group project partners at university about “bubbling” where google would tailor your search results based on tracking. I was laughed at by one of my partners because the consequences seemed trivial. That practice in conjunction with social media enabled the ability for people to live in their own media environment, separate from others. That has since had a profound impact on our politics.

I suspect in 5 more years, once the telecoms, their lawyers and business development people fully realize what they can do with peoples growing dependence on the Internet, will we really see the consequences of no net neutrality.
> I think it is our job as the creators/hackers to come up with a better solution.

Here's a radical idea for a solution: pressure EU member state data protection agencies to start seriously enforcing GDPR violations. Internet is so good at amplifying messages, so why not amplify that?

GDPR is already a good solution to this problem. The only reason it works so poorly is because it's not being enforced - so most websites feel safe choosing to break the law. If there was an uptick in fines being issued against all players, big and small, the situation would change very quickly.
This is not an analysis, this is grabbing a bunch of numbers out of the air without supporting arguments... "Autonomous Ride-Hail Revenue (net, billions)" $327 billion in 2025? FSD won't be out by then, I am certain. The edge cases are still too poorly worked out. For instance, will it slow down seeing a child run after a ball on the pavement? Or can it see "through" cars/buses? KNOWING where bicyclists are instead of only SEEING them is vital in the Netherlands, where we share our road with them.

And lets just DOUBLE our profit margin on electric vehicles LOL. When the competition is getting increasingly fierce, GM, Volkswagen and other tech companies with very deep pockets (Apple, Microsoft, Google) working on self-driving technology and electric cars...

ARK seems to think that Tesla operates in a void, without any competition. And that they can set the price point in 5 years.
> For example, the Chinese equivalent of “John Smith”—a common English name in the United States—would be 王俊杰 (wang2 jun4 jie2).

Not sure about whether or not it's really that common, but given the fact "王俊杰" means King, Handsome and Prominent individually, I'd say that name is pretty close to the up limit of what you can get from a 3-characters name.
Finance pays a lot better. Game industry just leeches off from enthusiasm of youth.

Or, to put in other terms: games industry squeezes people who joined the industry for a chance of self-expression whereas finance industry squeezes people who generally joined for the money and the grind.

Squeezing is not nice but at least in finance you know what you got into.
> if this is solved by using Shopify +

It isn’t, plus makes it marginally less painful, single login etc. It doesn’t add anything for multi currency.

We did raise this with the plus onboarding guys and they confirmed it was not possible.

> We manage it by our product data being in our ERP

Same here, in fact we go one further and built a headless store in front, along with a proxy for inventory because the stock API is so slow.

The original goal was to use pure Shopify. The end result is more like a glorified shopping cart and and fulfillment backend.

If we did it again I think we’d be better off building on a payment provider like Stripe.
This made me slightly emotional and remember Aaron Swartz.
Very cool tech, especially for bandwidth reduction!

Also, I know a lot of people who're doing makeup / dressing up for video meetings. First order model (e.g. https://github.com/alew3/faceit_live3) is not good enough for those things. Maybe Nvidia's algorithm is? Wonder if there's a project allowing you to record your styled self to train a model witch you can then use to transform your "out-of-bed" natural self into the styled version, haha :D

You might sound like someone who doesn't understand 'freedom of speech'.

This does not allow you to do whatever you want.

In germany for example it is written like this:
"These rights shall find their limits in the provisions of general laws, in provisions for the protection of young persons, and in the right to personal honour."

And its not different in the USA, you have limitations as well as the general good is more important than your personal.

"The world is all too fond of sexuality, and especially with controversial sexuality."
And what distrubs me the most on your comment: Just because their are pedophiles, doesn't make pedophiles okay. Yes i used here the extrem form of 'controversial sexuality' but to be clear: you should know your boundaries in comparison to the normal society. Just because you are part of that sub group of people, in my circles 'controversial sexuality' is not typical at all.

You have a responsibility and just because you can and some other are having the same moral compass as you have, doesn't make your niche okay on a moral/society point of view.

And it could be that your 'controversial sexuality' is actually okay but how you express yourself, it feels already that you crossed a line i wouldn't.

Your link clearly refers to correcting an existing transcription:

"While viewing digitised newspaper and gazette articles, you may notice that the text transcript doesn’t always match the text in the article. You have the power to fix this by editing the transcript to match the article text."

Most likely they used OCR software to generate the initial transcript, but allow users to correct the OCR output because they know the software is not perfect.
I suspect it’s to do with the money involved. That game developer doing months of crunch is likely already underpaid (compared with a similarly skilled and experienced dev working in another industry) when one only considers their contracted working hours. The person working similar crunch hours in finance is likely making tens of thousands more. For better or worse people tend to think very little of bankers and the prevailing attitude is that they’re making too much, instead of the more sensible approach that others are paid too little.
Yes Hedge Funds usually. Sell side is banks selling services and the buyers are Hedge Funds, Asset Managers etc.
What I find more amazing about libgen is that even non-IPFS users can still get access through the Cloudflare gateway. Years ago it was a slow dodgy process through regular http channels.

'Good FAANG job with better work life balance"

Ha.

Ha ha ha.

The grind to get in to those jobs is similar to a banking entry job, the grind for the first few years to make a small mark and advance up the ladder is very similar, and you are still not making the same payout at the end of the road in tech. If you want the tech equivalent it would be those FAANG companies just a few years before IPO, when the payout was assured and almost certainly going to be large and when the company was still small enough to be extremely picky about hires and still expected people to have no work-life balance at all.

Concerns about work-life balance did not show up in tech (or at least was not talked about) until all of the FAANGs had already IPO'd and there was no chance for a multi-million dollar payout for enduring the grind.
Nothing Russian is ever good, don't you know...
In times of yore in the UK (and England in particular) city status was bestowed primarily by dent of there being a cathedral in the city. City status was (and I think also still is on advice of parliament) also bestowed by the Crown. These days it is largely down to population size.
I worked as a dev at GS - it's a much smaller bank than its competitors (40k vs 204k at Citi, for example) but completes the same amount of work.

This means that every employee is expected to do the job of multiple people, and is expected to manage their time appropriately to be able to handle this. For me, I joked about working two shifts, and starting 'second shift' after the trading day ended and I handed off monitoring to Asia. I'd grab dinner and then start working on my coding assignments.

At the end of my tenure, it wasn't uncommon for me to work 15 hours a day and be on call 24/7.

Now, this isn't healthy by a long shot, but it is what's expected. You get used to it and you allocate your time to make sure you don't go crazy.

When I hear about these kids going through the ringer and working these 100 hour weeks, I'm almost incredulous because: a) this is the amount you're going to be expected to work in the future, but you need to figure out how to manage it and b) you've heard the stories, what did you think was going to happen ?

I have sympathy because it's hard, and I've been there, but that's the culture of the firm and if you can handle it, it's awesome. It's pretty inspiring to figure out what you're capable of under dire circumstances, you develop great skills quickly, and after GS everything else has the volume turned down.

Also, you can tap out and there's no shame in that.
No, I have friends living in London. Yes the prices drop down quickly further out, but if you're doing 14 hour days you don't want to commute for an hour each way.

I have a friend who used to rent a flat pretty much opposite Facebook's office, paid £2800/month for a 1-bed studio. Know someone else who works for a law firm in the City, he pays dead on £3000/month for a flat but he's 2 minutes away from the office and pays for that convenience. And yes, I know someone who lives in Ealing, but a 2-bed flat(not a house) is still £1900/month, and the commute was 45 minutes each way on the tube.
I was a teacher in England in my 30's and my starting salary was something like £18k.

£90k was something that you'd take 10 or 20 years to get to.
The ritual in finance is part of a realistic path to £1m annual earnings in a short space of time.
Advancing in society by demonstrating your commitment to the proclaimed values, through ratting out your less committed neighbors, or even falsely accusing them of being less committed.
Regarding your first paragraph, I must ask, have you done significant coding in Julia? Because an outdated sysimage is not really that big of a problem in practice. I have a sysimage which includes common big packages for plotting, numerical computing and some prettifying stuff I like like OhMyREPL. Then during dev time I add and remove packages, the compile time for those is significant enough to be noticed but not significant enough to be a problem. Because of the great composability of Julia, I'm guessing internally its using those big libraries and thus find most stuff precompiled for them. But I can't be sure about that.

Anyways, this is just my experience and my job involves a lot of waiting and stuff anyways so a couple seconds here and there doesn't bother me.
There are bottom-up movements like BLM, but mostly the woke culture is corporate and "elite" endorsed and therefore top-down.

What the academic "elites" are trying to achieve is clear: The topics create work for the soft sciences and even after a potential revolution their jobs would be safe.

What the corporations are expecting is less clear. They are doing well under a model of capitalism with a woke branding.

A bit of what China is doing with its curious capitalism/nepotism branded as communism model, though I don't think that is exactly the goal of U.S. corporations.

They are doing fine with the current political theater. If the lower classes in the U.S. wake up to actual class warfare, they may find that they overplayed their hand though.
I've worked all through many London investment banks, mainly front office tech, I have rarely seen traders working weekends, and I was not compelled to work many hours greatly exceeding 40-ish.

I don't know what these jobs are that they are talking about that are greater than 60 hours. I've seen a little of it maybe in the mergers and acquisitions side of things.
> banks don't ask clients to wait a bit longer whilst they get things ready

To be fair, the clients are paying the banks tens or hundreds of millions of dollars for this work. And the work is time sensitive--a bond offering today may price differently from one tomorrow. Doing all this with reasonable working hours isn't impossible--it just requires a global, co-ordinated team.

"Why not hire more analysts?", you may ask. Well, who will pay for them? If you take it out of the senior bankers' pay, they'll quit. Start their own firm. People will work those hours, and they'll find them, and they'll take a bunch of their clients with them. If the house pays for it, shareholders protest. Why is ROE falling? Why are fixed costs so high when you had a dry year?

It's a collective-action problem likely only addressable by regulation. That or litigation.
> >anyone who disagrees with my worldview is mentally ill

No, but someone who invests so much anger in the idea that all journalists are corrupt because they do not buy into their fantasies of persecution and corruption is almost certainly either unwell or pretending to have an actual grievance.

It's like the Fox News, OAN, etc drama over the "poll observer" or the "Hunter Biden laptop" fiascos. The journalists wailed and moaned about how other press agencies were ignoring the stories, or dismissing them. This was all political theatre, in these cases, as none of them really seemed to believe the stories they were peddling and gave them up the moment that all political value was wrung out of them. Greenwald hasn't let these themes go - and he appears to hate the journalists who just won't buy into his fantasy.
Yeah, funds, or anyone who makes investments essentially. Unlike banks, which focus on the sale and generating revenue from fees etc. rather than investment insight. Investopedia isn't always the best source, but for definitions they come in handy: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/buyside.asp

(I had a brief internship in finance on the buy-side and had to look up a ton of terms like that, to the degree that I was given this tongue-in-cheek "guide": https://www.amazon.com/Damn-Feels-Good-Be-Banker/dp/14013096.... It's immature af, but managed to teach me the cliches and terminology.)
Also, I learned that “evolve” can be a transitive verb.

Any grassroots attempt to challenge the system values (what you would call "woke") was met with the full repressive force of the system. It only softened in the last 3-4 years of decay but even then was still sporadically enforced.
Regardless of how how sound the case for Tesla is, this is a classic money manager tactic called "talking up your book", just a more modern form of it since they put it on Github. A core part of a money managers' job is marketing. Just recognize this is what they are doing and it's no different than a money manager going on Bloomberg for a hot take or an interview.
As a native speaker of British English I did not find the title confusing: I think the confusion is that the typical meaning of "warn to" and "warn about" are different.

"warning someone to avoid something" suggests that there is a risk associated with the thing itself - they should avoid the thing

"warning someone about avoiding something" suggests that there is a risk associated with avoiding the thing - they should not avoid the thing

(e.g., "HMRC warns people about avoiding paying income tax")

This isn't what bankers do.
Given the Orwellian level of mass surveillance the UK is building, "the GCHQ collects data about anyone connecting to any any site and has a special dossier on people using Sci-Hub, so if you use it, you will be flagged by secret police and this can and will be used as kompromat against you by your own government" is a far more credible threat about misuse of students personal data than anything the aforementioned site is going to do.

The far more interesting part of the article however is the "urged universities to block the website on their networks" part.
In this context, I do not understand the grind. The grind should be an up-front cost that allows me to leave concerns about work at work. For example, things such as professional development do not spill into your personal life. That is possible while working strenuously for a 40 or 60 hour week. There is not much left of a personal life if you are working an 80+ hour week.
But the question is whether this sort of hazing produce better outcomes (for the company)?

You point out elite military units, and medicine. Both of these fields tend to have highly competent, highly motivated individuals, and thus their work is quite valuable. If it were better to not have such hazing, then that implies that these units are not operating optimally. But then if they aren't, why hasn't a better optimal system replaced it?
When I visited Croatia I got the impression that many older locals liked me and Germany in general. I came to realize that this does not have to be a good thing when people started to speak positively about Hitler :( Apparently, many Croatians are Nazi sympathizers and in the same vein dislike England. At least that's what my croatian friend told me.

British work culture is more relaxed than the very intense US approach.

Also, traders work very little outside of market hours. It's usually IB analysts that burn through weekends and late nights when working on deals.
Right but that's not always true, is it? There was such a huge backlash for rockstar and their overtime on RDR2, but I know people at Rockstar, the bonuses are insane and people there work themselves so hard hoping for that bonus. Isn't that the same in the finance industry? Work really really hard to maybe get in that crazy pay bracket where you're basically sorted.

I'm not particularly trying to defend the games industry here, I'm just curious why the popular culture lately is so keen to cover the hard work being put into games but not into other industries which work even worse hours.
> AT&T set up a "sponsored data" program in 2020 where companies paid to not have their apps count against data usage. They exempted their own property HBO Max, essentially for free since they're paying themselves.

Apple is doing the same on the App Store when they are taking a cut of every payment inside an app.
I'd argue that really effective mind work is max 4 hours per day (max concentration and productivity suited for solving hard problems).

Less intensive work can be done for a few hours more, after that it is pure wasting of time.
yup, watch all the big guys go full on amazon and price their EVs low enough to wipe out tesla. Just sat in a Mach-E and ready to buy one but can't decide because there are so many other options coming to market now.
> It is bad enough that when I see Teslas on the road now, I feel unsafe, because the system is so unreliable right now.

Conspiracy theory: Tesla wants to show how bad the system is early on to raise public awareness and make people drive more cautiously around teslas.

Which would not be a problem if sites wouldn't make it increasingly impossible to open links in new tabs.

Will clicking the link delete all progress? Better click with the middle mouse button. Now there's another set of possibilities: 1) the linked site opens in a new tab, 2) nothing happens, 3) an empty tab opens, 4) a tab containing a borked site opens, 5) the button is so broken the browser can't even recognise it as interactive UI element and instead turns on autoscrolling.

Note that the senior people at these firms are usually pulling, while not 80+ hours, at least 60 a week (e.g. 6AM to 6PM Monday through Friday).
