When you have the megaphone of fame in your hand, you can't pretend it doesn't exist. That kind of influence is an enormous privilege, one that nearly everyone that has it has had to chase aggressively their entire careers if not lives. You cannot pretend a celebrity pontificating into a camera that is broadcasting to 100's of millions of people is the same thing as someone's personal weblog that no one ever reads. You can't abstract or generalize to "principles" in that sense over this. Once you're famous you have to own that, or take yourself out of the spotlight. As I said in another comment, there are many famous people who've figured out how to self actualize their lives without attracting attention.
Gold is shiny pebbles people are willing to pay money for. Crypto is spreadsheet cells people are willing to pay money for. Well, some amount of money -- mostly Tether though, which is likely in turn backed by the same crypto lol. It's really an open question just how much new real money is flowing into crypto.

It's all pretty clear in the settlement Tether signed [1]. Particular note are #17, #20, #36, #43-46

"Corporate drones" aren't replacable. CEOs are, you can find almost anyone willing to a sub-standard job for $1m/year...the supply is really infinite.

The issue with high employee turnover is they are producing your product. As an investor, high employee turnover is almost always very bad. CEO turnover is usually totally fine (it depends, if a new CEO comes in and attempts to do anything bold...it is usually curtains).
Many languages don't allow duplicate values for case in switch statements, so that question never comes up - this is true for C, C++, C#, Java. Go, Ruby do behave like JS here.
This was expected, crypto is essentially a weapon against the dollar. However i m not sure if the world's economies will go along with it. Maybe europe (which usually drags itself behind the US) but i m not sure the rest of the world would want to begin the post-covid era with even more dependence on US.

In any case, good news for binance, bad news for coinbase
Anyone with a pet theory that says this increase is inevitable because of cause $foo (or even that this situation this is justified because of reason $bar) needs to account for the fact that the equivalent ratio of compensation in the US military is around 8.

The US military of course has a budget many times that of most (any?) private companies, and it's generally agreed to be a better run institution than a lot of them.

Nobody at CNN bothered to ask officials in the Netherlands whether any of it were true, because it wasn’t.

The Netherlands, in fact, released a nuanced 10-year-plan dubbed Perspective 2030 last October to explore the various issues arising from increased tourism over the next decade. No new policy initiatives regarding tourism promotion have been enacted, though, at the national or local level. The only change was taking down the one sign in a congested spot and warning people about damaging tulips.
"That same event from 1999 is still entirely doable"

For better or worse, no it's not. If you tried to have the same event today, it would be flooded with far more people than were there in 1999. Demand has gone up. Some of the mentioned changes are just to accommodate that; for instance, as more people show up, you're going to need more security because the odds of someone needing to be removed go steadily up.

I hear what you are saying, and that is a good point, and I do agree with the: "Why isn't there an open ISA?"

I think the key difference with an OS like Linux and an ISA like RISC-V is that Linux helped literally millions of smart, curious kids get exposed to Unix and tinkering in a OS that wasn't a locked down behemoth: Windows. It changed lives. I don't think it is an exaggeration to overstate the democrization Linux had.

However, I don't see RISC-V touching the world in an analogous way. No kid is gonna tinker with an ISA and fab a CPU. Maybe they will stick it on an FPGA? But it seems less accessible.

Plus RISC-V's biggest propopent, Patterson, isn't really giving the world anything like Linus Torvald did. Linus busted his butt (and still does!) whereas Patterson flies around getting big speaker fees to pump up RISC-V while delegating. Just seems a bit... off? Or its just me.

I'm not saying that all employment is slavery. Far from it. A good employment arrangement is mutually beneficial. The employer gets a loyal worker that is productive, creative and motivated. The employee gets relative safety, a reasonable compensation and a sense of purpose.

What I'm saying is that the described scheme of Income Sharing Agreement is a step towards a dark age. Saying that it's always a choice is ignoring realities and just buys into the myth of "If you're poor then it's just because of your poor choices. Your fault." In the average western society, especially the U.S., there is a lack of social mobility that goes directly counter to that myth and can't just be explained by people making poor choices, compared to societies where mobility is higher.

I'm thinking of a 64-core M1. It would not be the laptop chip.
If you target a simple CPU (no out-of-order execution, no pipelines), and are ignoring performance (as early C compilers did. If you wanted performance, you inserted ‘register’ in the right places (and you knew what the right places where because you wrote the compiler or were setting next to the guy who did), or dropped down to assembly), it’s not that difficult.

The tricky bits are the stack offsets to local variables. If you compile

int a = foo()
int b = a + 1;

to

call foo
push
add 1
push

the addresses of variables relative to the stack pointer change when you create new locals, when locals go out of scope, or when you push function arguments onto the stack. The trick is for the compiler to track the address of locals relative to the top of the stack frame and keep track of the depth of the stack frame. Then, when generating code to access a stack-relative location, combine the two to translate ‘relative to top of stack frame’ to ‘relative to stack pointer’. A bit tedious, but doable.

Now, when you want performance (especially on modern CPUs), and don’t want to use stack space for variables kept in registers, things do get significantly more complicated.

> Amazon is not doing it for any altruistic reason

The beauty of OSS is that motives don't matter. If Amazon contributes and it's not detrimental in someway to the code, then it's a plus for anyone else who wants to use it.

On Node, console.dir(x, {depth: null}) will print the object fully expanded (even in cases where console.log by itself won't). Pass something other than `null` to `depth` and it'll recurse to that depth, as well.

Doesn't help on browser, though; the options arg to console.dir isn't part of the standard there.
It may be relative but it isn't proportionate. A 11B market cap company can field a similarly competent legal department as a 2T market cap company can. I, with 25k, absolutely could not afford the same lawyer someone with 1M.
The real problem they have is that they fail to ditch an obviously bad solution: “You’ll have to learn how to use their barely working undocumented UI elements and API if you want to create more than a blue button on a white screen. Learning and understanding take months, since the docs are like 60% done, everything else takes days to find out on your own.”.

It appears that they should have recognised very early that LiveScript didn’t work for them, yet they persisted for 2 years. Persistence is a virtue when you are on a successful path, but it is a negative trait if you are following the wrong path.

Good developers short-circuit early on bad technology, and change tech. Great developers pick a productive technology to begin with, and usually milk it for a long time.
A topic close to my heart! One thing though, lots of these tools are "offline", but some are found here as a repackaged service online. Personally, if I'm diagramming some important things, I don't want to trust yet another third party, and largely prefer "offline" tools, and I suspect there are others that have the same view. For testing the tools this is great though.

Blockdiag [3] is the one I tend to use the most, with both Mermaid [2] and the unoriginally named "diagrams" [1] being the two others I find the most interesting.

NativeScript surely has its struggles (like all the other hybrid frameworks), but the concept is strong:

- It's multi-framework (Vue, Angular, React or Svelte); easy to pick up for web devs

- The per-framework implementations are fairly similar to the web-variants (except it uses NS component tags vs HTML tags)

- UI abstraction layer that maps the NS components to real native UI components for iOS/Android (instead of Flutter's gimmicky pixel-by-pixel OS element duplication ala Adobe Flex)

- Use of native UI elements lead to performant UI elements (recyclerviews, tabs etc). React Native plugin devs had to tediously re-create elements like the recyclerview with custom logic (see 'RecyclerListView'). The core team adds new UI elements fairly quickly after OS releases, as they only have to create the bridging code

- Out-of-the-box code bridging; access native methods/variables on iOS/Android from JS. E.g. accessing the Android notch API can be done with a few lines of JS

- Recognizable CSS elements for styling (margin, borders, gradients, box-shadow)

- Performant; fairly quick cold-boot and no iOS shader-cache jank like with Flutter. OP likely has a web-dev background and used too many nested views leading to jank (as it would with a native app).

The struggles:

- Inconsistent maintenance of (semi-)official plugins like background uploading and toasts. Hard agree with OP.

- Overuse of outdated, third-party Cocoapods/Gradle plugins for their plugins. Some Cocaopods they use don't even have iCloud support.

- Large backlog of Core issues/bugs

- No more Sidekick (The 'Expo' equivalent for NS), as it wasn't part of the acquisition. This tool was really handy for low-barrier deployments/boilerplate code rollout

But the real problem is adaptation. No large adaptation = no big sponsors = no full-time development. Earlier it was in hands of Progress which had a highly talented team from Bulgaria working on it full-time. Progress tried to use NativeScript as an on-boarding strategy to get people to use Kinvey. When Progress pulled the plug, a small development agency took over development and is struggling to find the manpower to maintain this colossal project. I hope they will manage to make it work as NativeScript does have unique qualities.
Sure. Personal attacks are uncalled for and I retract that part of my statement.

But the rest of my points still stand.
I think you're making the point. Correct according to... what... lol? The preconceived notion that it should be?

I don't even necessarily disagree, but, "No, it totally is right" isn't exactly an argument.

If you want to watch relatively recent movies you might have to pay extra, but not per viewer as you do in a theater.
>The problem is that artists (and record labels) want to get paid for the non-scarce thing: the copies,

of course one could argue that the way to gauge the value of the artist's time and effort is by how many copies people want of what they produced.

I am not arguing this is a good way of estimating value, but there are lots of people who do make this argument, and it should be addressed.

note - I guess it should be time and ability, effort is generally another measure of time.

You can simplify this even more. Open an InteractiveBrokers margin account and request a debit card. Fund the account, purchase gold (futures, GLD, whatever) and spend on your IBKR debit card.

And this comment is why CA’s housing crisis is impossible to fix. There is no easy solution.

The main solution people propose, building more, has a very high likelihood of turning it into a suburban hellscape that people refuse to move to even at gunpoint.

We have plenty of places like that. If the option is just build more without an extremely careful plan, then just move to another city where it’s like that already. Phoenix is a nice sprawl.
This seems like a much more positive response than the one they took with MongoDB. I agree, Amazon hasn't done much, but maybe this could be a start?
Right. Google has a long history of scrapping major projects the moment it becomes convenient, even products that have millions of active users (Reader, Wave, Plus....).

I would think long and hard before betting my company on any Google product.

Are there many third-party contributors to flutter? If so, that would make me feel a little more confident. If it's all (or almost all) Google staff, yeah... no. Wouldn't go there.

Your argument is wrong on the merits alone. If Communists in the US hadn’t stolen designs for the USSR, then proliferation could have been slowed or possibly prevented.

Nukes on both sides led to a decades long Cold War that cost real lives and by all rights should have gone hot several times. UK or French nukes didn’t stabilize Europe nor make the USSR (or any other country I’m aware of) less likely to attack them.

Pakistan and India continue to wage a Cold War hoping that the fundamentalists in Pakistan don’t gain too much power. The situation is just as unstable as before.

Nukes in the PRK haven’t made the situation more stable. All peace deals were unrelated. In truth, the real threat has always been the hundreds of guns pointed at Seoul. They’ve actually destabilized relations with countries like Japan which has slowly moved toward arming again.

That leaves just PRC. You could make the case that it stabilized the fighting between India and China to some degree, but fighting and border disputes still continues to cause suffering and death. It certainly hasn’t done a thing to lessen tensions with the rest of the South Pacific or the US where tensions simply continue to climb.

Can you point to any places where the nine nuclear countries have stabilized regions because of nukes?

If the fed did a cryptocurrency, it would be backed by the full might of the US Government — and all the things that the government can do if it decides to print more money. This also includes military and police powers.

Which brings me to the other point: currencies are governed at both ends; at issuance and at use. If you use a crypto that’s not approved, the government can simply arrest you for using one of its competitors. The treasury could likely do this without even needing to issue new laws, just new guidance. Governance is the reason for the existence of the US Treasury and Federal Reserve. It’s a core feature of any currency and the government isn’t going to abandon that lever of hard power. They’re only going to do a cryptocurrency that gives them more power, not less.

All of the stakeholders you list have a vested interest in not being disintermediated. They’re also deeply embedded in policy creation. I can’t help but notice the way crypto evangelists speak of crypto is the way leftists speak of Marx: in very vague terms outlining a utopian vision of a new economic paradigm that is frustrated by the sticky realities of the momentum of money and power. The reality of Marxism is different from the utopia, as would be the realities of central bank crypto (hint: it’s gonna be authoritarian af).
I’ve never heard of “NativeScript,” so I can’t understand why a company would risk something as high-stakes as their android app on that. I’m sure it has a lot of benefits but the reality is that it’s still immature. Save the experimental technology for the low-stakes stuff. That’s just disciplined engineering practice.
* FPGAs, and their associated FOSS stack to use them.

I haven't been able to really get into FPGAs but I'm optimistic about them. They're pretty clunky right now but I'm hoping they'll just get easier and more accessible.

If we want computation that we're able to verify as being secure, FPGAs are the closest I see us getting to it. There's also applications in terms of parallel computation that they can do over more traditional approaches.

This might go by the way of Transmeta or always remain niche but it seems like they have a lot of potential.

* Open Source Hardware, specifically relating to robotics

Electronics production is becoming cheaper and easier. Open source hardware has the potential to become as ubiquitous as open source software.

Electronics hardware is still way harder than it needs to be, so the progress is slow, but if we get within range of having an iteration cycle in electronics that's as fast as software development, we'll see spectacular innovation. Robotics especially, as that's a kind of straight forward physical manifestation of electronics that has a potentially large market.

There's a $5k fiber laser that can ablate copper. This could potentially fuel the next round of cottage industry board fab houses (in the US and other non-Chinese countries) and enable rapid turn around time. I wish I could justify the $5k to play around with it but it's just outside of my price range.

* Solar

I'm not really sure if this is 'under-the-radar' but for the first time, solar has become cheaper than coal. This means besides giving a moral incentive for people to use solar, there's now an economic one, which means the transition will most likely be broad.

Coupled with battery technology advances, this could have drastic impacts on the ubiquity and cost of power. I wonder if we'll see a kind of "energy internet" where people will create their own distributed electrified infrastructure.
