Interesting - I definitely consider Bill Gates a less harmful example of a billionaire. Mostly because I think of the people employed by microsoft during his tenure as well paid tech workers. That's somewhat different from the exploited amazon warehouse workers and sweatshop workers making the stuff they sell. I've not forgotten the FUD, the anti-linux and anti-apple maneuvering, etc. - but I don't have a strong example of the human cost of Bill Gates' billions - is there one I'm missing?
Thank you for the thoughtful answer. I am not unaware of my first impulse towards anger. I have hurt a lot of people with my angry outbursts. Some of them are in their after lives and I hope my sorry reaches them.

I am looking forward to buying the next Macbook that comes out and knowing this kind of makes it troublesome. India does not have physical Apple stores and its not that easy to try out new products. Apple products are not magic and also have their own problems. Knowing that there is a fair refund policy for Indian consumers like any other country would have been a fair business practice and consumer friendly but unfortunately Apple does not see it like that.

Completely ending the refund/return is a stupid decision.
That is not logically guaranteed. The fastest path to a prototype may in fact involve learning something you're uncomfortable with.

If you're most comfortable with a spoon, the fastest way to dig a trench is still an excavator, even taking into account the time needed to become comfortable with operating one.

I see it other way around. When company does legal tax saving , they are morally bankrupt and monsters. When individuals try to rip off company due to some mistake or even better something like pirady then it is usually "what other choice do people have?". If companies do not give them for cheap, they will have to pirate.
If anybody been watching the second hand semi equipment market, all kinds of opportunistic players from China been scouring the market clean for last 5 years.

One of those opportunistic players hoping on becoming a n-th tier fab player is for example Galanz — a kitchenware company: https://twitter.com/ogawa_tter/status/1310852850033946624

Though, there is notion that those are just manoeuvres to get giant tax subsidies from the state. Semiconductor companies in China pay near no tax, even if they have 1 wafer per month fabs.
That's true too! Finance sites like Marketwatch and Yahoo have insider transaction logs for each company when you search their ticker symbol [1]. There should be a tab to view "US office holder and their immediate relatives" transaction log page as well listed for each ticker.

Reverse-engineering tcpip.sys: mechanics of a packet of the death (CVE-2021-240
I've known several Amazon employees over the years, both developers (going way back) and warehouse workers (more recently). The developers have consistently described it as extremely taxing, but worth the pay. The warehouse workers described it as extremely taxing, but better than going hungry.

The funny thing about Amazon is they don't just profit from shill reviews, but they also encourage shilling by their employees to boost their reputation. For that reason, I strongly weight first-hand accounts by people I know over everything else I've read online.
> And nobody so far managed to explain convincingly, in which ways investments in (existing, residential, not for self-use) real estate creates any value.

Shelter is literally third on the list of human needs after water and food. Make something desirable and people will leave their previous (possibly decent) place behind to move in. I'm not sure how anyone can say real estate doesn't create value just because they are frustrated that some people make money off of real estate.

Almost certainly, yes. Is altruism missing from your vocabulary?
You might need a subscription, but the NYT has a rent or buy calculator and it really depends a lot on the market and on your specific situation: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/upshot/buy-rent-cal...

We recently bought the house we used to rent. If we would have continued to rent for 25 years, then, adjusting for inflation, that would cost us maybe 300K. That's a lot of money and you have nada at the end, you're absolutely right. But our loan plus interest plus insurance plus the leaky roof that is now up to us to fix plus 1% of your house's value for maintenance every year plus property taxes... napkin math puts it at 600K after 25 years. At that point it's ours, but meanwhile it will be harder for us to move if we have to, our monthly payment is twice what our rent was, and all of our savings are in the house so we have no money to invest in stock, less to save for retirement (tax-free) and less money if we decide we want to do something crazy like start a business. Psychologically it's a mixed bag as well: it's really nice to know something is yours, but you also start noticing a lot of things you don't like that previously you just didn't care about, and we're on the hook whenever something breaks down. We're happy with our choice, but surely you see that it's not a slam dunk in favor of one option or the other?
For videogames involving strategy I recommend Hell Let Loose (on Steam, and the only game I keep W10 around for). While it is first-person action, there is a commander who has an overview and can spend resources accrued by placement of nodes by other players. I mostly play with two others as a tank crew, and it is the best co-op videogaming experience we’ve had; each an important third of a whole, working together as a cog in a larger strategic effort.

HLL players are generally supportive and helpful to me when I ask for help or advice; it is the first multiplayer game in which I’ve felt at ease using the proximity-voicechat and mic in general to talk with strangers. I recommend using a mic, especially if winning matches is important.

Highlights: coordinating with two other armor units to prevent breakthrough; protecting infantry squad during advance; asking for and getting repairs in the field; getting useful orders from commander; and blowing up with a Stewart (light tank) a Tiger from behind, much to the relief of those pinned down by the Tiger.

A large swing increases the IV which increases the premium (since the stock is now more likely to swing back down). Also decreases the risk in case the trade moves against you.
Visualising the Earth at planet scale is incredible. I was blown away when the first wind map [1] made it's way onto HN almost a decade ago. I always thought of wind being localised but to see all the currents flow across the USA was soooo cool. It's inspired me to work on my own map of live mountain shadows across the Earth (link in my user profile if you're interested)

For those who have a Valve Index (and have it plugged into a work computer...), the mic is surprisingly excellent on it. I set it upside-down on my desk and it picks up my voice just fine.

I've always wondered about this. These are people who we elect to do a job - one that we expect and need them to do well. I wonder what would happen if their base salary was something higher than current - perhaps $300k. They receive the maximum healthcare coverages available to the majority of Americans. Pension is set at $100k/year at retirement, no strings attached.

BUT - In exchange, you'd have to agree to some very restrictive governance while in office. Example:

- No trading of specific investment vehicles, you may invest a maximum of ($x) per year in the following options (ETF, Treasuries, etc.). This goes for any immediate family members.

- Congressperson's income can only consist of the US Government salaries. Any income from previous book deals, consulting, etc, must go into a blind trust that can only invest in the aforementioned investment options.

I wonder if that is enough of an incentive to still attract sharp minds while perhaps incentivizing them to work more for the people and less for themselves.

“ last year the U.S. government pulled 13 million people out of poverty with a few million strokes of the autopens”

I am pretty sure the government forced more people into poverty with the lockdowns. To treat the stimulus checks as some mind of boon when people were forced to close productive businesses seems intellectually dishonest at best.
I really don't like the "Satoshi wouldn't have liked this" arguments.

Have you ever worked with a really smart, visionary guy who changed his opinion on something? Have you changed your opinion? Satoshi is gone, and we can't just assume what his opinions would be today.

I think death of the author definitely applies here. It's an open protocol. I respect Satoshi as a visionary and inventor, but he does not have the final say.

For political content I was thinking more of qanon content. Also you can bury it in the recommendation sense but you can’t bury it in the search engine sense without removing it. The mere existence of qanon like content on the platform even if it requires searching causes a platform a lot of problems. Burying content in recommendation sense that is brand problematic but not actually that bad does already happen for these platforms. This may be content that is just too common on the platform otherwise to try to diversify available content.

Reddit is one of the very lax content platforms but has occasionally banned subreddits including political ones (Donald trump subreddit). Your phone example I don’t agree with as content platforms are fundamentally about curating a certain group of content. I think of them as closer to news media in terms of what they show. You would not expect New York Times to have much very conservative articles and opposite for Fox News. While content platforms have user generated content mostly that defines the available content pool not what they want to recommend. Actual percent of banned things is pretty low so they do mostly allow any content but there are certainly categories of content they spend a lot of effort on. As for another motivation for political banning one complaint tiktok often receives is as a Chinese related company it should not influence American politics. If it wants to be safe there then it having extreme content becomes legal risky itself. Not so much in the it is directly illegal sense but in the increasing chances of the platform getting banned which felt like a serious risk a few months ago. I think in general a lot of the political content restriction motivation is legal in origin in the sense of wanting to avoid issues that cause congress to do stuff to the platform. Similarly Facebook and all the Anti trust talks one way of being careful is trying to restrict extreme political content that otherwise senators may complain about.

There’s also related should political advertisements be allowed.
Hi, paramedic friend here. The whole "paramedic notes" thing was just a very dubious pretext. I was looking at a small notebook page of notes after a call (no patient identifiers, not that it would have mattered), and was curious if anyone would be able to make out a single word. Stavros is Greek, so he was the obvious choice. That's where the story in the post picks up (with a little creative license).

In reality, laptops are quite common on ambulances, and get used during many (even most) "routine" calls. The issue with note taking is with more critical patients, and there are a variety of reasons why a notepad and (cheap, disposable) pen are the best solution. The biggest reason is because I can use them with a gloved (potentially contaminated) hand and not worry about how to decontaminate them, since I'll just throw them out. This device has many of the same failure modes as the laptop (namely, it would be impossible to clean).

A lot of medics will skip the pad and just write on the non-dominant gloved hand. Personally, my favorite technique during especially busy calls is to put a strip of 2in/5cm wide cloth medical tape on my thigh and just write on my leg.

But "practicality" wasn't really the point here...
No, it's actually much worse for legacy processes, discretes, and some components.

It probably depends on your personality.

I find it motivating to see other people running - just in the sense that they are getting out there - but also in what they did.

I sometimes go and do the same route they did and doing that really motivates me because it is new ground and gives you that "exploration" kick.

For me its not about bragging or competitiveness - just solidarity and new ideas.
Not to mention:

- super hard to cache if any client can basically generate an infinite number of different queries.

- which dialect of SQL ? If you change DB or upgrade version, do your ask all clients to change as well ?

- how do you do query that involves several data sources ? Some response data come from redis + elastic search + postgres. That's why FB created graphql. That's also why it's so limited in scope, so that complexity is manageable.

- do you want to expose clients to implementation details such as OUTER JOIN vs INNER JOIN vs an array ? Or let them figure out tricky queries involving HAVING, DISTINCT, COUNT or subqueries ?
China def is stockpiling more chips I think. The Huawei situation really brought home to china how the US or others could basically try and cut them off and they are doing a lot of things to reduce that potentially impact (all out on chip mfg, chip orders etc) so having stock may be of benefit to them in that environment.
Why not robust?

It is important to know where the created value comes from
VMs are fine for basic games like Minecraft (that isn't resource intensive). It falls apart when you play anything that is resource intensive. Even if you have, say, 32GB of RAM and a good CPU+Graphics, the fact you have to emulate anything at all means it gets noticeably laggier. You can laud the fact that the GPU gets passed to the VM, but since we are emulating, you will notice that.
Those AliExpress chips may not be genuine. Buying from unauthorized distributors has always been risky, and some companies (especially Chinese ones) have been know to stamp blank or generic parts with whatever part number you're looking for. The really tricky vendors will put a few (10-50) genuine parts at the beginning and end of a reel (to pass validation testing), with defective or fake ones in between. Non-genuine parts may also be lower-spec versions of what they are labelled as (like a slower microcontroller or a higher offset op-amp).
Re. the Gottheimer trading; if one is to believe the reports of his net worth based on public records [1][2], he supposedly almost tripled his wealth in just one year. That seems quite unusual.

The fact that he appears to trade mostly $MSFT while also being a former MSFT Executive and seems to be extremely accurate in his options trading of that $MSFT, only really adds to the extreme suspiciousness.

Is there no entity that even just tries to keep tabs on or possibly investigates these people, let alone charge them with crimes where appropriate? It seems that where there is smoke … and fire … there may actually be fire.

Felt bad = Feels like it was designed for a touch screen, with mouse and keyboard as an afterthought.

Specific examples are spacing, which is bigger on uwp; latency and animation speed; and of course, windowing.

In terminal settings, for example, the settings editor is limited to the terminal window, and the save buttons are aligned to corners.

That means, for example, if the window is too big, the buttons are going to be very far away - lots of mouse travels, it means also that the window sizing will not be ideal - look at settings in Mac apps - there's a popout panel which adapts in size.

If the window is small, things will be cramped. On low resolutions or smaller screens, things are too big and cramped. The save bar occupies a large emtpy space bar on the bottom.

On large screens, high res, it's comically huge and with mostly empty space. It's just stupid.

Is this specific enough?

I just saw in an issue about this your PM say you're following uwp guidelines.

Lots of work went into this, impressed with how quickly Docker turned this around. I've been using it on my Apple M1 MBA since the initial preview - it just works (tm) - subject to you understanding how multi-arch works.

This is such a useful abstraction.

I love working with PostGREST and have used it quite often for quick services (e.g. a vote button on a static site), internal tools (recently a covid checkin-screener), and for Proof of Concepts (postgres+postgis-powered full text search for address lookups in a webmap without using an external geocoder).

I personally have yet to use it for something with more than 200 users, but it sounds like others certainly have successfully. Supabase (https://supabase.io/) uses this for parts of their backend.

I forget where I read it, but I remember reading that we can tell some information about E.T.s based on how they approach us. The consensus reported by what I read was that if they stop at some distance like Jupiter or at most the asteroid belt, then they are less likely to be aggressive. It's the equivalent of stopping on the porch and ringing the doorbell vs. just walking into the house, which is what showing up in our planet's orbit would be.

Realistically, fighting them is out of the question. If they have a superluminal drive there's a good chance they could accelerate things to just under the speed of light and steer them to the Earth. The effects of a 5kg steel ball hitting the Earth's atmosphere at 99% the speed of light are debatable [1], but all the opinions agree the devastation would be massive, with probably heavy to total casualties within 300 miles, and possibly massive seismic activity if it drilled into the Earth's crust instead of being converted into X-Rays and a fireball by the atmosphere.

I suspect at some point we will advance enough to get to the Oort cloud at the edge of our solar system, find a beacon warning all ships away from the nascent primitive sentients, and figure out how to turn off the beacon. If we survive as a species that long and then are able to do that it could serve as passing a basic racial intelligence test, and allow us to interact with other species. Until then, only approved researchers agreeing to secrecy would be allowed to visit us and observe. This is all conjecture though, there is no evidence as far as I can tell.
