Part of that is because there are so many options, and since Java is used a lot in software where you care about performance/throughput, you hear about it - just like how you hear about all the different kinds of memory allocators you can write in C.

But it's still the thing we want, for that and a lot of other reasons. So presumably what we need to do is find a way to exert more leverage, so that we actually get what we want, instead of folding and letting the bad thing take root forever.
Definitely cool, but personally, I’d rather not open any inbound holes into my home network, no matter how secure I may think it is.
Part of that is because Ruby has a very predictable, but slower, GC. Java on the other hand has multiple memory managers... some optimized for high throughput/spikes, but are much harder to predict.

I didn't reject future hydrogen gas turbines. In fact, I'm the one who brought them up. That's the entire point I'm making: hydrogen gas turbines are still in development. If hydrogen gas turbines already exist, why are GE, Siemens, and others talking about how they plan to develop hydrogen gas turbines by 2030 or 2040?

Have you worked at big companies outside tech?

Their IT budgets are often ginormous with very little to show for it. Consulting havens. Slow, if at all, moving project organizations.

It’s about size, budget models and competences.

Time for another rant:

Note that Sweden have implemented “new public management” NPM which basically pushes government agencies to govern like the ever oh so successful free market companies.

This has had many really bad side effects since the 90s and it’s right up the neoliberal alley.

I'm confused. Who benefits from using a physical credit card terminal instead of an app in the first place? If you don't want to implement all the payment methods Uber does, and you're willing to settle with only credit cards... why not just have in-app payment that only supports credit cards?

The obvious answer would be "so that the user doesn't have to have the app", but if the user doesn't have an app, how is that different from an old fashioned taxi service?

Beyond the fact that the credit card terminal isn't broken... but it's not like the rider would know that ahead of time.

Politically incorrect things get labelled "racist" now a days.

I, as a brown immigrant, get to criticize my home country all I want. I can call my home country corrupt, filthy, polluted, no regards for women rights, gay rights, caste system, rapes etc and be totally okay as long as the other person knows I am brown.

But suddenly if a white person or someone with the wrong "political affilitation" says the same things about my home country - they get labelled racist/xenophobic etc when they are speaking the truth.

If I made a website criticizing the corruption or filth or disregard for women or gay rights in my home country, NFS would take down my site - probably until I dox myself and show that it's a brown person running it - then it might become okay.

Political correctness such as this is exactly why the good people in my home country suffer the most. All so that someone in western world or the elite class in my home country can feel morally superior.

And I hate to bring my skin color in a debate but that's the only way to explain how political correctness is making things worse for good people back home.
Can you elaborate? Because for me, working in scandinavia, unions looked quite useful and reasonable.
The sad thing is that all of the "reasons" are really only enabled by a lack of competition.

Customers want devices with in-kernel drivers. Not just curmudgeonly Richard Stallmans who care about the plight of the wild libre, but Joe Sixpack who just wants to be able to keep using the phone he likes instead of having to buy another one every other year. There is a market for that. Regular people would choose it on purpose.

And it's not being satisfied because Qualcomm keeps buying up their competitors. Because they dominate the Android market and the incentives of an effective monopolist are different than the incentives of a competitive market.

If you're one of five equally-sized chip makers, you don't care that the customer isn't going to buy a new phone for ten years instead of three, because with high probability they could buy from one of the other four next time anyway. And because you need a competitive advantage to get the sale today, and "don't have to buy a new phone after three years" is that.

If you're Qualcomm, you get the sale even if you don't offer the advantage because there is no viable alternative, and then you get another sale in three years.

Time to break them up. Or at least, and I mean come on, stop letting them buy their competitors.
This would be a great anecdote if companies handling sensitive data weren't using contractors that get paid about as much as those call center workers...

I think mutually assured destruction thanks to nuclear weapons has ended large scale warfare. That technology ensures even the leaders die if a war starts. That makes it a tool of what we would consider a truly insane person.

So, I agree that technology has likely ended large scale wars for our lifetime but I think we will see evolving forms of conflict. To fight is human. We are still animals after all.

That convention seems a little weird, but what works for different people. Normally case/break seem to light up in ides to help visually double check it has a break. Also not every language that supports fall through, supports having content inside the fall throughs. (C# I just learned recently, does not allow any code in a case that is falling through).

My problem with languages trying to too strictly control stuff like this, is that this is stuff that should be handled in your code review process. Sometimes when working with old code, it's not really worth the time spent refactoring a whole switch when you need to make a small fix, vs adding a single line.
Gas turbines that can run at 90% hydrogen and have existed for decades, still doesn't count as "existing" for you. And you still are pretending that steam power plants running on hydrogen don't exist.

The fundamental problem is that you have created an argument that's so up your own asshole that it doesn't sense, and if applied to anything else nothing is green. All because you can't admit you were wrong. Everything else you're saying is just a red herring.

Was the hardware wallet “preseeded”? There is an attack where a malicious reseller sends a unit with the seed previously generated, and a prefilled card of words. When the address is funded, the reseller can reclaim the coins.

The reason I suspect this is the attacker has swept the wallets to the same addr. This could represent a supply chain attack with a common attacker.

I somewhat agree but there is a lot to be said about "reinventing the wheel", while you are learning. Not only do you get to a solution, you also consider other approaches and discover why they don't work, or work as well.

Having "a" solution at your fingertips all the time also decreases your critical thinking of whether that solution is really the best in the problem space you are working at.

I think that the best of both worlds, what I usually try doing, is that you think about a problem, try to analyze how you would solve it and only then look up the solution.

I love Tetris Attack / Panel de Pon / Pokémon Puzzle League! Superficially it looks like Tetris, but the mechanics are way deeper. There are many combos you can make. More importantly, you need to make chains to do meaningful damage/scoring. Whereas in Tetris you are at the whim of the random incoming pieces, in Tetris Attack it is up to you to create order from the random field, and players at different skill levels will take an identical field and process it totally differently.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_German_cities_by_GDP

> Germany is actually the only country in the EU where GDP per capita is higher when the capital is excluded. Munich is at 80,000€, Frankfurt (Main) 95,000€, Hamburg 60,000€, Berlin 40,000€ [1].

I was using the city with the highest absolute GDP. That's a fair point that Munich has a higher GDP per capita.

> You are talking about tech but this is about Tesla. I don't get why people are still treating Tesla like a tech company. They are making cars that happen to have some driving assistance. By that metric VW, BMW, and Daimler are also tech companies, each way larger than Tesla by cars sold, people employed, and GDP impact. Tesla is as much tech as WeWork was tech.

My point about tech isn't so much the nature of the business, as the presence of a well functioning startup scene. I think it would be very very difficult to start a new capital and labor intensive company like Tesla in Germany today, and the non-presence of tech is just symptomatic of the difficulty of starting new businesses.

Compare the largest companies by revenue in the US to Germany:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_companies_in_t...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_German_compani...

Most of the German ones were founded in the first half of the 20th century, if not earlier (you have to be a little careful reading the list, a few say they were founded recently, but they were really just the mergers of old companies - there are a couple legitimately new ones though). In the US, there are tons of companies founded in the last few decades on the list. My argument is that the German economy is mostly sustaining itself on the back of its economic achievements prior to the institution of its modern labor policies. Economic dynamism has been hamstrung.

I run a small business in India, and it horrifies me as to how badly call center employees are treated. I use contractors all the time and I just set the goals and measure outcomes at intervals of a week. I’ve never found micromanaging a poor performer to improve performance and it definitely pisses off high performers. If your employee is not performing and doesn’t improve with coaching, then just move on and find someone else. Don’t make your employee miserable with this sort of surveillance.

As the saying goes there's a difference between hate speech and speech that you hate. It seems like the line between the two is getting murkier everyday with people labeling things that hurt their feelings as micro-aggressions which are a form of "violence" to some people.

Unions in Germany are very different from unions in the U.S.

U.S. unions are much more adversarial, seeing themselves as the enemy of management. In fact it is illegal for a member of management to be in a union in the U.S.

In Germany, unions hold board seats and see themselves more as partners, invested in the overall success of the business. The principle of codetermination means that union members can be in management. In Germany, unions are much closer to trade organizations or professional organizations, rather than the worker-management divide in the U.S.

In terms of politics, it's hard to be cognitively captured by the whole "greedy corporations oppressing workers" meme when you are sitting on the board and realize that your livelihood depends on the business doing well.

Similarly, German CEOs do not have the astronomical executive pay that US CEOs have. They are much more down to earth.

Germany is a nation that has had social insurance since Bismarck, primarily to contain a vigorous and violent left wing movement during the Kulturkampf of the late 19th Century. German unions are often quite conservative with respect to the culture wars and are hostile to that movement, which has its base more in the universitites and eco-groups than in the heavily unionized shop floors and production lines.

Yet at the same time, Germany has had no minimum wage until 2015. The US had a minimum wage since 1938. This, too, is because historically German businesses adopted a much more cooperative relationship to workers.

So even though it's true that Germany has high rates of unionization and an innovative economy, that does not mean that unions in the US would lead to the same outcomes. German and US unions are different beasts.
Just a guess but union contracts typically fix compensation for a given role and seniority. So every role would get the same number of options. Not having control over how many options are granted (linking to performance) may mean the company doesn’t have much incentive to grant them to union members.
