Well, yeah. Did you see the comments on pg's recent essay? It was the first time I was like, I don't identify with any of these people.

But that's okay. The world is large, and we're free to all feel however we feel. There also isn't a "hive mind," just a lot of people with surprisingly similar viewpoints and feelings that don't necessarily match the reality of how to build businesses over long periods of time.

At one point, I was an ardent opponent of Coinbase, having lost most of my money in the (at the time) recent implosion of Mt Gox. But time has proven me wrong. So, it's also not so easy to distance yourself from "the hivemind," you see – it's surprisingly easy to fall into the same patterns.
it will identify you in a group of a few thousands other people.. google said the cohorts should not be too big.

the main problem with floc in my opnion is that it extend tracking to sites where no tracking happened before.

today to track they need you to go to a site that has an ad or a "social media" button. basically something that make you access their server while telling the site you came from, maybe set some cookie while there so they will know you are you when you access some other site..

if a site does not have any ads or does not have social media buttons they cannot track you there.. the same if you enable adblocking..

now with floc it will use every site you accessed in the last week to calculate your floc.. so they will know what sites you are visiting even if those sites does not have anything that would allow you to be tracked today or if you use adblocker and stop them from tracking by other means..
Those connotations probably depend on the country, tbh. I assume it's an American pov.
PeerTube is something which can change the fundamentals of media communication itself. Loved the project.

I think hiring people traditionally is better for the bulk of the work. If people want to contribute for free they can, what they’d get out of it is if they get to choose what to work on eg fix the bug that is most annoying to their company so a win win. I’ve seen this done before and think it works well.

Plug-in architectures can also help so people can contribute to an ecosystem with their own open source free/pro edition work like is done with Wordpress.
I really doubt it would and I'm not sure why that's relevant to the point the author was making.

Long before cell phones and answering machines my Dad was a pharmacist in a small town. He was happy to drive down to the drugstore when a customer called our home needing an after-hours refill, except on Sunday which was his recharge day. On Sundays we were instructed never to answer the phone unless it rang twice, paused, then rang again. Close family members knew the secret code; customers just learned Dad wasn't available on Sundays.

The way we do it is
1) each team owns one or more of AWS sub accounts (e.g a particular app or function will be in its own account)
2) An internal version of this is used to establish and enforce company-wide standards: https://github.com/cloud-custodian/cloud-custodian
3) A repository of terraform modules is shared amongst teams to standardize on how common AWS resources are used (e.g. enforce X, Y and Z for S3 buckets)

This way, the per account setup (represented as a repo) is relatively small, common patterns are standardized, and there is still room for experimentation.

Why not? A collective, efforts-based, altruistic organization needs funding. If such a organization could demonstrate that their efforts lead to good outcomes (improve happiness, save lives), then effective altruists would donate to them.

A legitimate argument is that not everyone can make tons of money and donate because someone has to do the work. But there are plenty of "effective" organizations that are not yet overfunded.

That's a large limited case where the copyright owners are allowing it. There are doujin that won't be resold after the first time (real people especially male idols) or that won't be sold in the first place (Nintendo).

One of the most popular series (Touhou) got that way because it has a permissive copyright license for the game world. I believe Comiket has some kind of legal exemption for the event too, though I don't remember the details.

While rent-collecting is a major problem in the music industry, this is a rather reductive statement.

Especially when it comes to more niche genres, such as lofi, a label can be a major help to increase name recognition for smaller artists just starting out, especially when said label allows such non-exclusive publishing deals and still offers the artists fair compensation. In this regard, they often serve as, essentially, incubators.

This is also a common way for much larger, more well-recognized artists within a niche to give back to the community, by providing their own name recognition to (or even starting) a relatively small label that launches other artists in similar genres, in spite of the fact that said label is less likely to give that artist in particular more value-add than another, larger one.

For diseases where the causal mechanism is known very well, mouse models aren't that bad: Rett syndrome, hemophilia, spinal muscular atrophy.

It gets to be a problem where the disease is poorly defined and the cause is unknown: Alzheimers, schizophrenia, ADHD, etc.

It is very important that people have this discrimination power and not jump to "All of this is bad" or "All of this is good".
Ok, you explain to me why pointing out that a scant 5 c-suite executives at major recording studios are Black is racist.

That "an" is an important an.
I think it’s less about “strong towns” and more about not making towns and cities that scale well for people and sustainable. More public use infrastructure options than just larger highways. According to the article.

I’ve been around the global block and having a sfh, good schools (always subjective), quiet streets, and a yard are all possible with less scale while being more interconnected. Communities in the US just have to want it. Mid-level density can exist.
It would be pretty easy to argue that the AP is practicing racism as well here. The article is pretty absurd as well. Their argument is they are not capitalising the word white because white people have not faced discrimination and it would legitimise white supremacy.

Without debating either of those points, how are they relevant to grammatical rules. The words are either proper nouns or they are not.
The distinctions you are making are not exclusive to IPOs

They just opened up a share selling shop on the stock exchange, instead of selling it to banks (that already have shops) at wholesale price.

Any shareholder can sell through that shop window, including the company.

The words "Nigerian scammer" is used here for it's literal meaning i. e., the scammer is a Nigerian citizen. It is NOT an instance of the scam known as "Nigerian 419 scam".

The Heritage Foundation claims that farm subsidies are not for national security.[1] From this we can conclude that the purpose of farm subsidies is almost certainly national security. Which is a good thing, because farm subsidies fail to prevent hunger as you claim.[2] Om the other hand, it seems to be less for security than as "socialism for the rich"[3] given how the money is funneled.[4]

Which isn’t what it sets out to do? EF is about the moral actions of the individual. This is pertinent whether you do everything or nothing in your power to ‘end global poverty’.

Personally I’m skeptical of the merits of a collective effort to end poverty. Has such an undertaking ever worked? How does one even begin?

Tangential, but curious how did you get to 100k lines of TF? I’d imagine most things within your company would follow very similar patterns and therefor be extracted into modules, and the per app/team code would be relatively small and focused on how to compose these modules together.

>which you have to do because of the totally insane and unintuitive fact that all invocations of a Python function share the same parameter

I think it does make sense if you consider the function signature an expression scoped one level above the function definition. I agree it's initially not intuitive, and it's tripped me up a few times before as a beginner, like probably most other beginners.

As a more experienced Python developer, I think I'd actually now find it unintuitive if they changed it, due to everything I've internalized about Python scope, values, assignment, expressions, etc. Same for always requiring "self" as the first method argument. Overall, I'd prefer the changed versions, but I think they (or someone else) would basically need to make a whole new spiritual successor language.

For most people that’s an implementation detail (that they are unaware of), combined with the overall lack of IT hygiene: I don’t see this being an issue (even if your points are very valid)

With web apps becoming more complex by the day, having the ability do all the heavy work on a remote server and stream the resulting “webpage” back to a weak receiver with little processing power will unlock new ways of doing things: one can imagine a very slim screen that, as mentioned in the thread already, is running the full Adobe Suite from this remote server.

Great battery life and responsiveness without needing an expensive GPU / CPU on the device itself.

It's not new but there's clearly a linguistic analogue of the music 'loudness wars' at play, in which we are losing all dynamic range in our language. Where terms previously used to describe people willing to unceremoniously lynch black folks or beat them to death and throw them off a bridge is now, for example, casually applied to millions of people working in an industry that has unbalanced hiring outcomes.
Plus all the Tether shady stuff.
A coworker of mine has trained his dogs in this way. They have over a dozen buttons now. The dogs know each others names and will say things like "Sadie Ralphie Outside Play" to ask if they can go outside, or "Sadie Upstairs Nap" which is followed by going upstairs and taking a nap. I'm surely getting the exact wording (and definitely the names) wrong, but it's pretty crazy what they're capable of.
The base casing is milled out of an aluminum block. It's quite robust. Alessandro Cortini toured with one with NIN on the Tension tour.

You would probably just say a native Japanese man to imply both Japanese descent and nationality.
In my opinion lo-fi is a different kind of music than traditional artist/album structure. It's not that I'm interested in a particular artist or album, I want to listen to a mood. Lofi provides that. I don't think that this is a unique phenomenon: look at the popularity of the Spotify artist, album, and song radio: those do the same thing, let me listen to more music that matches my current mood. I think that the difference for lofi is that by definition it's basically unoffensive background music (not a bad thing) so it gets called out a lot more as being unique from other types of music.
Since container is a vague term, my two cents as alternatives:

1. a folder with the executable
2. systemd portable service
The popular dogma.

We had more troubles with work with "the cloud".

Setting it up was just pressing publish in VS + git and 1 time the domain+site ( 5 minutes in total ). So I spend less time on it.

Everyone seems to forget that every deployment needs to be configured somewhere. If not by you, someone else.

The server is windows server with IIS. Nothing special, you can get it for the price of an 1 Shared App Service in Azure ( 10 € / m = 1 Windows Server) vs 8€ / month ( 1 Shared App Service).

I didn't had to do maintenance in the last year. But I did create a custom statuspage. But it's used mostly to deliver updates of clients when I deploy ( it creates a RSS entry when I deploy, which clients can receive).

Clients are notified 100% of the time with updates from the developer as soon as it happens, if they want it :)

The trolley problem situation seems pretty straightforward under utilitarianism if you add probability into it, I've never found the "what if one of the 3/4/5 could have been Hitler?" argument particularly convincing. The dictator assumption would apply to all humans born, and we as a species clearly don't punish birth sufficiently if the dictator risk was that heavily weighted.

Axiom 1: Human life has value, saving a life is thus positive utility.

Assumption 1: We know nothing of the people tied to the trolley -> All humans are probabilistically equal.

Thus, the utilitarian presses the button and saves 3 at the cost of 1.
As a minority in the country I was born in, I know what it means to feel like an outsider my whole life. It's fine for a kid to learn what it feels like to be an outsider for once in her life, it builds empathy.
I guess the way I interpreted it wasn't "can you do this?". It's more like "we need this problem solved, and I already gave a try". Again that was younger me, these days I would just kinda query their approach instead.

It was long ago so I don't really remember if the phrasing was "do you know..." or not, but yeah now I agree that just give people direct answers and maybe an open offer like "do you need another set of eyes?" or just leave them alone.
