sdwr already explained this very well in their sibling comment: The extra dimension is another direction that you can move in, apart from the three directions you're already familiar with. A piece of penne doesn't provide you with such an extra direction because movement along the penne can still be described by a tuple of 3-dimensional position + velocity vectors.
I never implied worse or bad. It’s just a commonly used acronym that’s distracting from the message.
When they realize, they will kill on/off-ramps into cash and make any transactions not legal.

The software itself they can treat is as malware - blackhole IPs and shutdown any hosts involved.
I feel Amazon took the feedback from the DocumentDB/MongoDB fiasco to heart and made positive change in their approach.

DocumentDB is a closed source proprietary database created by Amazon to emulate the MongoDB API. Think Google's Dalvik runtime vs Sun/Oracle's JVM.

This time around we have an open source fork of ES with big backers all contributing and very permissive licensing.

In both cases, Amazon gets to implement AWS-specific upgrades to management to depend heavily on EBS replication rather than application-layer replication. Would it be nice to have that secret sauce that makes Aurora/DocumentDB so nice to use compared to self-hosting or RDS? Of course. Do we have to have it to consider using or contributing to the open source software? No.
A sharper metric: it tends to do with whoever is responsible for the success of the company at the least cost to shareholders.

Imagine a company starting out. If they need you to join or they fail, and they can get you for 1% of the company, that founder is rewarded incredibly for securing you with very minor cost to the company, making them rich and you not, even if you are responsible for the success of the company. The reason being: if you’re so integral why didn’t you start your own company and keep all the equity? Why didn’t you bargain for more?

Capitalism doesn’t make any prescriptions about what should happen, it’s just a system where individuals make consensual transactions and the chips fall where they do.

In the above scenario, whether the founder “deserved” to be rich or not doesn’t matter, because you “made” them rich with your consensual transaction. As long as we are all free to be the founders or the employees, I don’t see why there should be some moral issue there. If your effort is worth more to others, either you need to haggle harder, start your own company, or you’re lying to yourself.

Everyone is a stock in capitalism, that’s all that is true. Everyone sets the value of each other’s labor and capital. If your stock isn’t doing so hot it’s because others aren’t buying it.
Compare and contrast the executive compensation to the weakening power of employee unions. In the past executives needed to be diligent about how executive compensation would affect union negotiations. It would be very hard to squeeze unions while dramatically increasing executive compensation. With weakened labor unions, there is no need to maintain the curtain of equity of treatment of labor vs executives.
It's a trade off. A union would very likely benefit me financially but every union I've ever had the opportunity to join has had a very progressive bend. Do I gain financially and lose morally or hold morally and miss out financially?

Edit: I would be very enthusiastic about a union that stuck to just labor issues, no unrelated issues.
I don't see why we care about CEO pay vs. worker pay at all. Being a CEO isn't part of the deal you get from the company as a normal person. What you get is a salary, benefits, security, and a growth path in your career. Have those things changed significantly during that time period?
What's your point? The birth rates are already reducing. Do you want war and genocide to reduce the population faster?
Because CEO recruiting is insanely irrational.

> you're just on the path of transitioning from a successful company to a poor imitation of Berkshire Hathaway.

You mean Berkshire Hathaway, that's current market cap is ~$615B and hails arguably one of the most successful investors of all time as its CEO? That Berkshire?

I don't know about you, but I'd happily be just 1/100th as successful as how that model turned out.
My pet theory:

- To make it to the top, you need an aura around your persona. How often do you see an anointed one or two, among thousands? It's corporate religion essentially, the politics reduces the field unnecessarily to the level where there's just a handful of crown princes.

- Similar to sports, people try to split hairs about who is good enough and who isn't. Nobody's ever heard of randomness and serendipity. Add to that a total lack of controllable evidence, and you get stories about just how amazing this it that prince is.

- Most CEOs don't get a lot of chances as captain. It's like running for president, once you've lost your aura suffers. Someone did a study of this, I forget where.

- Since it's magic the cards are in the hands of the candidate who is chosen. They can really push up the price, and they need to before it wears off.

- Why has this happened more and more in recent decades? Generation of people who've grown up believing in magic. More TV news, more credit given to the boss, more people believe in magic.

- The boards-are-friends theory is not bad either, but boards have always been a bunch of business people who knew each other. More likely globalisation has provided a excuses for higher compensation: market is bigger and more complex, we're making more money.

- These are excuses, we can tell because how often does comp go up when perf is down? How often is perf relative to the index? How often is risk taken into account?

- Other things that don't make sense in the naive model of compensation: big business is like oil tankers, next quarter has already happened. Why would you pay a guy for the previous guy's performance? Why do you pay mega severance?
If you want elses everywhere, how do you protect yourself from nesting hell? I find nesting hell to be far, far, faaaar worse for readability than any of the alternatives, and will move to the early return model to escape all that nesting.
It's refreshing to see an outsider's perspective that isn't a bunch of old boomers rambling about the darn kids and unsavvy investors pumping GME's value up and calling out their fraud. Also fuck Elon Musk. He commited multiple securities fraud by this point in time. He needs at the very least a slap on the wrist.
The entirety of recorded history suggests there's some middle ground between winner-takes-all and scratching for grubs.
Crypto maximalists - and I know a LOT of them - are drawn to crypto because of ideology, not just the money. The idea that a person should own his/her own assets, be able to share and use them whenever they want, and be free from government censorship and foolhardy economic stewardship is incredibly powerful.

When governments talk about banning crypto, what scares them isn't crypto; it's this ideology. And this ideology also makes crypto incredibly hard to ban. You can create all sorts of regulations but that will only harden the stance of crypto maxis because it will only prove them right.

Unlikely. As in book publishing, music, and TV network shows, the hits subsidize the rest.

Also as in those other industries, nobody knows what will be a hit until they're well on their way up, so a thriving business needs to be willing to experiment.
I wish the article had more details -

1. What is the raw material ?

2. Why did the CEO of SII mention Covaxin in his complaint when the article exclusively talks about Covishield?
You must be the only gamer in the world that wants an HBM2e GPU for gaming that's 10x more expensive while only delivering a negligible improvement in FPS.
The article says "compensation", from my understanding that includes equity and bonuses and all that, so it does seem to be comparing the full package of CEOs against the full package of workers.
I have my hesitations and critiques about Dart and Flutter, but this is flat out wrong.

Dart has evolved significantly over the last few years, and Google is very serious about Flutter.
I have a main mac desktop, and "uploaded" my macbook into proxmox near the start of the pandemic. I just use mac to mac screen sharing to get to it and it works wonderfully.

If you don't know, screen sharing is done very well - it does very intelligent things, such as drag and drop files from desktop to desktop or rich-text copy/paste between systems. It will also pass keys correctly, so command-q will quit a remote app instead of quitting the screen sharing app itself. same with alt-tab.

I used to use screen sharing with the macbook itself, but it kept going to sleep with the lid closed at inopportune times even with caffeinate, so I just cut to the chase.

I also was able to migrate the macos vm when I upgraded my proxmox machine hardware. "vzdump <vmid>", copy the dumpfile, "qmrestore <dumpfile> <vmid>", voila
USG knows how to deal with cash - you can't take any decent amount over the border or even on trains without being questioned.

The fact that they are using a Neoverse core licensed from ARM seems to imply that there won’t be another generation for NVidia’s Denver/Carmel microarchitectures. Somewhat of a shame, because those microarchitectures were unorthodox in some ways, and it would have been interesting to see where that line of evolution would have lead.

I believe this leaves Apple, ARM, Fujitsu, and Marvell as the only companies currently designing and selling cores that implement the ARM instruction set. That may drop to 3 in the next generation, since it’s not obvious that Marvell’s ThunderX3 cores are really seeing enough traction to be be worth the non-recurring engineering costs of a custom core. Are there any others?
Take crypto out of the equation, what are the implications of the fed issuing a programmable currency? Many financial services would become obsolete. What do I need a stock broker for? What do I need a bank for? You have Wall St and other sophisticated investors profiteering and competing against the general public, devaluing our purchasing power, making leveraged trades because they know the public will hold the bag. It's a system that exists to favor the few and it's time to disrupt the orgy.
Twitter’s operating margin in 2020 was 1% (in previous years it was negative). Most of its revenue went to compensating employees. Governments can make a lot more money taxing Twitter’s payroll than they can by taxing its profits.
I've seen the pain you've mentioned. The way you can make it work is to basically make a single Rust crate that does nothing but link all of your Rust dependencies into a single library that you can then add to your build system:

Heroku is comparable to AWS Fargate/RDS pricing in many cases, but easier to setup/understand/maintain. IMO it seems reasonably priced in a lot of situations, where we are talking about business use.

However, for personal use, if you have a few small (web)apps, it's way too expensive compared to a DigitalOcean or similar VPS.

For example, 3 applications with Postgres DBs cost 3x(7+7) = 42$/month, whereas it's entirely possibly to run this on a 5$ DO droplet.
And then you can't repro the bug anymore because it was related to Mobx observables or whatever and that JSON.stringify suddenly made it work so you just... leave it there...
>and the fact that the FSF under Stallman kinda lost to open source anyway and hasn't really done anything

What can the FSF do better, with or without RMS ? I honestly don't think there are too many good solutions. The parts that matter to FSF (i.e., free software at the hardware layer), are also the most challenging and for which there are no business incentives, political awareness, or will. Otherwise, garden variety free/open source software is already fine and flourishing depending on business interests.
It's sad, because it doesn't have to be commercialized. That same event from 1999 is still entirely doable, but someone decided that profits must be made, as opposed to hosting a challenging competition of the sport's top players.
Can you point to any other languages' examples of minimal self-compiling compilers?
If you can purchase it then so can I, so yes, I would absolutely prefer that. Better than Facebook building up a totally proprietary information hoard. If Facebook knows it, I consider it lost anyway.
I'm kind of surprised that people are this upset about how much AWS charges for bandwidth. They may charge more for bandwidth than a colo would but they're not a colo. A colo you get a network port and -thats it- you provide everything else yourself, with its attendant cost, and you roll that up into your total bill.

If a colo provides you a 1 Gbps connection if you use less, you don't get a refund. And most of the time you don't get 24/7 saturation, or you get charged on some 95th percentile billing, and their networks are almost always oversubscribed anyways.

AWS is trying to disincentivize using it as a dumb pipe. They want you to use it smartly and if you just want to push static data there are much more cost effective ways to do it, such as CDNs, which are more cost effective for both you AND AWS.

Comparing AWS bandwidth costs and Colo and even other clouds like Oracle isn't fair because different things are associated with that cost.
Ooh this is promising.

In this particular case, when I see "written in Rust" I hear "uses the Rust ecosystem" which is quite a bit more loadbearing than just the choice of programming language.

Does anyone happen to know if it uses syntect for highlighting? I wasn't able to determine this in the amount of time I have to browse it.

If so, I will be trying this out for sure, I have custom syntax highlighting written in `.sublime-syntax` format and this would be perfect for me.

Edit: Don't want to make another top-level post and I sneaked in under the edit window.

Is there a community for this? I'm trying to get some .sublime-syntax files installed, and I can't find anything amp-specific in either .config or .local/share/

The project is somewhat underdocumented (it's okay, I expected this) and it would be helpful if there were some friendly devs whose ear I could bend as I get comfortable.

If this does exist, it would be a very good thing to link to from https://amp.rs

Even completely factual reporting can still be biased. Even neutrality is a bias.
Some discussion from knowledgeable people of what plausible "crackdown" rules would look like would be interesting. The article mentions an ID requirement for transactions above $3k.

Personally, I think the idea of the physical nation state is converting to a global credit score, where instead of transacting across borders, you are transacting across classes of businesses and people, and tarriff and tax policy will be enforced on a risk basis instead of a national border one. Instead of black market electronic transactions, the transaction is just taxed at a higher rate because of the relative social credit score of your counterparty, so your transaction with a non-KYC enrolled wallet would incurr a 100%+ excise liability on your tax reporting. It's the sort of totalitarian idea that is appealing to the sort of people you really need a popular revolt against to unseat, but worth considering what they think about to remove their element of surprise.
"It turns out" (to use a popular pg phrase used when proof is too inconvet to produce) that pg is well liked among pg's fan club website users.

> Wait until you hear about cash.

Oh we have don't worry. The proportion of cash used for illicit activities is much much lower than the proportion of crypto used for illicit activities. Especially once you remove speculation volume (which cash doesn't have). Then there's the whole new kind of crime it created - ransomware.

Plenty of work was done to ensure tracability of cash. Take large amounts in or out of the country? Form. Withdraw or deposit large amounts? Form. Act suspicious? Form. Structuring? Prison.

You can't really compare a system designed to circumvent regulations regarding transactibility to a system designed to provide as much oversight as is practical. They're not even in the same ballpark.
It seems that the term "shadow profile" refers to a feature where Facebook retains contact information uploaded by other users in order to recommend them as friends if/when you create a profile [1]. For all the fear associated with the term, that's pretty benign. Is there any evidence for a link between these "profiles" and some of the more egregious claims of privacy infringement?

A small addendum because I forgot to actually show something cool:

Another example, demonstrating the querying for the relation part, would be to find Leonardo DaVinci's family members: (again in pseudocode so you don't need to dwell in the syntax)

fetch ?kinName, ?linkName given
?link "is called" ?linkName.
?kin "is called" ?kinName.
"Leonardo DaVinci" ?link ?kin.
?link "is" "familial".

Line 3 was the "mindblow" moment for me, you can ask how two objects are related without knowing either one! (though I did know one of them in this example, Leonardo)
> RMS disaffiliated from MIT in the '80s ...

> sponsored by some very senior faculty members, .... It's pretty straightforward for faculty to sponsor anyone they like as an "affiliate" (though of course office space is much harder).

I think that if someone is sponsored by senior MIT faculty to the point of having an office on campus that's a pretty good claim to being MIT-affiliated.
I've been having the same feeling with Google Assistant on Android Auto.

Apple makes money selling devices to people.

Google makes money selling people to advertisers.

As a result Apple's maps and ML assistant aren't as good as Google's which harvests way more of people's data.

I'm perfectly fine with this trade off. Lots of things iPhones do are even presented at as the data never leaving your phone at keynotes/press releases, and ads. A bullet point notably missing from Android phones. I deliberately use Apple's admittedly worse maps application whenever possible because I know it's not telling Big Brother about me when I know Google maps is.

I could see both, but things like integer vs float couldn't be determined from the type, since you just have the single `number` type. That being said, you could just convert to an int on the value you're passing in rather than having the interpolation do it for you. Same thing with object vs string, you could pass in `obj.toString()` instead of just `obj` with an `%s`

"Todos backedBy todos",
"Todos mappedTo todos",
"Todos key .description",
"Todos editable $item.description",
"insertButton on:click insert-new-item",
"insert-new-item 0.pushes {\"description\": \"$item.NewTodo.description\"}",
"insert-new-item 0.pushTo $item.todos",
"NewTodo backedBy NewTodo",
"NewTodo mappedTo editBox",
"NewTodo editable $item.description",
"NewTodo key .description"
],
"widgets": {
"todos": {
"predicates": [
"label hasContent .description"
]
},

On RISC-V? Yes... Well sort of. There are people working on ports of Fedora, Debian and OpenSuse (I think) and I've seen some version of BSD working on SiFive's boards. Debian is said to be 95% complete. Ubuntu have also announced that they're working on a port, and SkiffOS is said to be ready to run on RISC-V too. There was also a demo of AOSP working on 3 XuanTie 910 cores a few weeks ago.

Of course, then you need apps to be ported over, and that might take longer.
