A CEO also gets high pay because of their performance can be measured. Stock price, how soon a crisis is handled, employee attrition, and etc. I forgot who discussed it in depth, maybe Paul Graham, and the conclusion was that engineers should learn from the lesson, and figure out a way to show measurable impact, the true visibility, of their work.

If you're using a fullscreen app on macOS and activate spotlight, do you expect it to only search that app, or do you expect it to behave like Spotlight always behaves and search the entire system?

Put another way, this depends entirely on how the OS and UI is set up.

> in any manner they see fit.

That cannot possibly be true. Here is an example. Imagine if a school banned people from sports, because they expressed support for Obama or Trump.

Clearly that would be a government infringing on people's right to speech, as it is expressely political.

Or imagine that a school gave certain benefits, only to students, who publicly support a certain political candidate. If you don't support their choice of president, you lose privileges or benefits or get expelled.

Or, if we are truly talking about "any manner they see fit", an obvious counter example would be if they just banned women from playing sports.

> is about to open One Giant Can of Worms.

There is no can of worms being opened here. A school is a public institution. How speech laws apply to public institution is not some crazy out there idea. It is well established.

I am not sure why people are making out speech laws, which have a long history of how they apply to public institutions, as some sort of alien topic.

You wouldn't say that a school could expel people, for example, for this kind of speech, out of school. Why is it so crazy, for this to be applied to other activities?

If you're genuinely asking this question, it really depends on what you mean by "tied to PoW systems".

Currently the three largest PoS networks that I know of are Polkadot/Kusama, Harmony and Fantom. They are functional insofar as being EVM compatible. Theoretically anything running on ETH could be ran on these networks.

Stellar Lumens is an example of something which does not use PoW, it uses FBA which is considered much more efficient than PoW (and possibly certain PoS systems too).

Certainly, almost all crypto assets right now are tied to PoW systems in that their value is somewhat propped up by a general interest in crypto, of which the large majority (in terms of market cap) is currently Proof-of-Work based (BTC, ETH, LTC, BCH, DOGE, XMR, etc.)

I suspect we will see a natural shift towards PoS alternatives as they are much cheaper to run and entry into these other markets is cost prohibitive.

We should also see a huge shift in value if/when ETH2 is released (which some estimate could still be several years away).

The elephant in the room will be BTC. It remains to be seen if people will still consider BTC to be a store of value in the crypto world, akin to gold bullion in traditional markets. Certainly many people holding it would like you to think so.

I don’t think many people working in tech understand the nature of the Internet when it comes to information. The cat is out of the bag and there is no returning to a world of universal “authoritative sources” (term used in the article.)

Framed historically, we are experiencing a similar situation to the invention of the printing press. All attempts to reel in “misinformation” by appealing to legacy media outlets are doomed to fail, precisely because these outlets have lost the trust they once had. I don’t see them regaining it in the near future, if at all.

Instead, the likely outcome is a constellation of reputation-based media sources. “Joe Brown is always honest, so I’ll see what he says in his podcast” is probably the future source of information for the average person. Fact checkers will never be anything other than a biased opinion of a particular institution, as been shown time and time again.

The dimming factor seems a bit frightening.

I don't know how sound the theory is, but i remember listening to the climate podcast Radio Ecoshock where a scientist talked about aerosols in general and that there could be a negative feedback loop that would disappear if we stop polluting heavily, ironically then raising temperatures significantly - this could mean that an extremely agressive decrease towards 2030 could increase temperature weirdly enough.

The effect was seen over the US after 9/11 as far as i remember.

> I think the main difference between the U.K. and EUs approaches is that the U.K. were willing to accept some vaccines would fail and other succeed but were willing to accept the loses

That doesn't seem to be the case. Both have reasonably diversified sources and have bought much more than needed (at the end of 2020, 246% EU & 419% UK according to https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2020/12/03/9423037...).

Both (currently) rely on the same vaccines (AZ, moderna, BT & J&J), with the uk having ordered primarily AZ, Valneva, Sanofi, Novavax & Curevac vaccines and of the vaccines currently used, the EU has bought more per capita (current data, BT was probably less), except AZ. So it seems (at least in hindsight) that the uk was lucky AZ worked out, otherwise the doses of the currently used vaccines wouldn't have been enough (barely, approx 58 Million people fully vaccinated), while the EU has more than enough doses (630 Million people fully vaccinated) [2]. (of course, that would have been sufficient for vaccinating everyone that wants to & is able to in the uk).

The spread seems to have been wide enough in both countries.

I can't find anything resembling a delivery schedule or doses delivered for the UK, but I assume, based on ~90 Million doses given out in the UK, of which at most 31 Millionen doses were BT (assuming all fully vaccinated people have BT and all remaining doses need to be used for a second vaccination), AZ has delivered more than 60% of the contracted doses, while that count currently stands at approx. 12% for the EU (germany currently has received 6.8 Million and they get a fifth). That's a huge difference. (I'm assuming the moderna doses given out in the uk are currently negligible)

If you want to look at the JIT overhead, for the benchmark stone and Richards, multiply the first number by ten and subtract the second number. And you can do it in your head, CPython is the fastest if you only going to launch the interpreter and run the program once.

The sorting benchmark is more interesting. One could estimate where the breakeven point is, if considering the sorting scaling to be exactly n*log(n). Though the timings could be considerably different once everything fits in L2 or L1 cache.
Rightly said! Additionally, is worth getting good at enjoying small talk as a good way to get comfortable (and help others get comfortable!) in novel situations.

My one experience programming for a Z80 based SBC was an industrial controller we used as the onboard computer for a high altitude balloon. A mix of C and asm. Wrote the code on a PC connected to the board through the RS-232 port.

Was one of my favorite projects - had to interface with a packet radio and a GPS receiver, along with various sensor attached to the controller's analog ports.

Now back to Java... :(
That is such a bizarre viewpoint from my perspective. The absolute deathtrap that is the 737 MAX had two software-related critical failures in 400,000 flights. That constitutes a whole system per-flight software reliability of 2 in ~400,000 or a ~99.9995%, 5 9s. Obviously that is still unacceptable as that is far below the software standard amongst all commercial airplanes where software has not been implicated in a crash for at least the last 10 years except for the 737 MAX. Even if we include the two 737 MAX crashes into the statistics, the whole system per-flight software reliability of all commercial airplanes over the last decade is at least 2 in ~100,000,000 or ~99.999998% or 7 9s. The standard in airplane software is literally 5000x more reliable than AWS SLA guarantees and 500x the holy grail in server software of 5 9s. Even the 737 MAX is 20x better than the AWS guarantee and 2x more reliable than 5 9s. Airplane software is not bad, we just rightfully expect a lot from systems that lives depend on, so even systems that are better than best-in-class non-safety software are completely unacceptable which may give the impression that they are bad in absolute terms as they fail to live up to our expectations.

I just tried one of the apps and it had instant feedback when I gave it the wrong 2FA code. It felt too fast for any network calls to be involved. I looked at the network tab in my browser and sure enough no network calls were being made. It looks like they are using some sort of client side crypto to verify or at least reject tokens. Does anyone any idea about why they'd chose to do it client side or what I am missing?
I had a bunch of such 'obvious' ideas when I was an eager young computer whiz back in the late 80s/90s, including internet service via cable instead of dialup, online warehouse sales etc. I didn't get rich because I was young, had no capital, and no social network. I worked at banks and also for a somewhat innovative company that prefigured social networking (think GUIs for online forums during the dialup era). although I tried to get people interested in my ideas/cultivate mentor relationships/gain business skills, most efforts were shrugged off with a response like 'go to business school and come back in 5 years.'

I was smart enough to hire for technical work, from development to training and documentation, but lacked the social skills to negotiate or build so I spent a lot of my 20s doing Very Clever Things for which other people reaped all the economic and strategic rewards. So you can be very competent and have a lot of imagination, but if you're not in the right place at the right time or work in an environment with a lot of gatekeepers, you may not be able to capitalize successfully. You can also find that you're so good in a particular role that people who pay you for it have an incentive to not help you with career development.

So? We are humans. We get distracted by a whole bunch of things that happen to us daily because, well, we're emotional creatures. When you are somewhere most of the day you end up being distracted by many other things than "just work". If you cut the politics then something else will keep our primordial animal minds busy.

A place where you have to only "be about work" is impossible to achieve. Even sweatshops in Bangladesh have unions and places where they can talk politics.

I would say a healthier choice for them would've been to cut out the people that were bullshitting and causing toxic environment. For sure those exist and should be spotted if they cause negativity at work.

Funny thing is that doing this top-down, as they are doing, is literally "cancel culture".

You can't, and shouldn't.

We already had domain registration "transparency" in the early/mid 2000s, when domain privacy was a rare and costly service. It was awful. Anyone who registered a domain would immediately start receiving a bunch of junk mail (like, physical letters) about it, along with a bunch of email spam -- and any registrant with significant privacy concerns was basically out of luck.

By 2010 or so, most registrars offered domain privacy as an add-on, or even for free, but the passage of GDPR sealed the deal -- public WHOIS is fundamentally incompatible with the GDPR. Most of the major registries (including, AFAIK, all gTLDs) have enforced contact privacy for all domains, and there is no way you're going to get bulk access to the real data, especially if your goal is to make it available to others.
Can leadership be automated?

Persoanlly, I don’t see automated CEOs as a viable option for the foreseeable future.

Automation usually works best with consistent and repeatable functions right?

And automation usually works worst with diverse, infrequent, and unusually functions right?

Could a CEO’s roles and responsibilities be somewhat split(with some grey area delineation) between hard and soft skills?

Automation support for senior leadership hard skills seems like a logical extension of recent automation capabilities.

In fact, I could imagine a well branded AI/human teaming decision support service becoming the new high-end executive health service status symbol.

If companies are willing to expand and experiment with very high end health care support to senior leadership as a means to ensure high cognitive functioning then it would be a natural extension to include bespoke AI/ML decision support for senior leadership.

Where else would bespoke AI/ML decision support for individuals originate and gain traction?

It seems inevitable that it would originate where the opportunity cost is greatest.

So CEO/AI teaming seems ripe for exploitation today, but a fully automated CEO still seems completely unreachable.

However, if it emerges I would imagine it will do so first in business units with extremely high simplicity, repeatability, and predictability.

"We know that paid advertising works" [citation needed]

I mean, the ad business of course likes to throw various metrics around. But as far as I'm aware there are no proper randomized controlled trials that show statistically significant positive ROI of online advertising versus no online advertising.

I mean, it would be really simple to do, right? To provide conclusive proof of the efficiency of ads? Pick a populous state in the US where people enjoy Soft Drink X. Randomly divide the households in the state into two groups. For the next full year, run normal amount of targeted online ads for Soft Drink X in Group 1, no targeted online ads whatsoever in Group 2. Did the sales in Group 2 decrease by more than what the cost of advertising to that group would be, yes or no?

That page is mostly about auto-rotating carousels. Don't do that.

It's also about making your home page a giant carousel, instead of showing multiple things vertically. Don't do that, either.

IMO, one great use for carousels is when you have a product catalog with a bunch of category sections, like Netflix. Each category gets a header, e.g. "Action" "Family" "Romance" "Horror" and each category is a horizontally scrolling list of products, with the next one on the list half-visible on the side, so it's clear that you can scroll it into view.

Scroll snap can be pretty good for that.
