It's indistinguishable from a regular web hosting. You just upload script to some ftp and don't manage anything either. You just configure links to other services like DNS, or DB if that's needed.

It's just now the same thing is done via some proprietary/custom cli tools and/or APIs not via a standard protocol and a trusty old clients that are already in your distro, and it's branded differently.

APIs are good for some uses. That's usually lacking with hosting providers. Other than auto-scaling I can also easily bankrupt myself with if I make a mistake, I don't see much qualitative difference. Only in the details.

From your comment I am not sure that I understand if you agree of disagree with the move.

Capitalism here is not the issue. If China pays more they get the workers. That's capitalism as its core. If TSMC wants to retain their workers they have to dig in their 40% profit margins and increase salaries to compete for talent. If they want to increase the price of their chips to account for that payroll increase that will make Samsung (or whoever else) more competitive and that's capitalism as well.

> Every time I hear things like "we can't find enough people" or "yeah, but then we'll just pass it along in our cost to customers," I know how much we don't have capitalism.

I agree and it makes me angry, individual freedoms are and should stay a thing. If you can't pay your employees a salary that makes them want to work for you, they are not the problem and your competitors are not the problem.
> Maybe even making them four or five times the thickness of the latest i-sung devices

No, I think JS as a whole should be removed completely independently of what any company decided. Websites in general aren't trustworthy, which means they can't be trusted to determine the browser's behaviour.

> Also, MS office and Adobe are web apps and far more complex than almost any "real apps" out there. It's completely untrue that web apps are not apps.

You can pretend they are until someone takes away your toys. Then, suddenly, your "app" cannot even process its own input. Or access the clipboard. Or do any of the other things that websites just aren't trustworthy enough for.
Nvidia shield is great, just make sure you get a pro. For reasons I’ll never understand, they dropped the standard model to 8GB of memory which causes it to run low on memory with some apps.

1. Taiwan barring its citizens from taking such jobs - that's what the story is - did you even read it??

There was a Twitter thread making the rounds a while back in which someone claimed insiders (existing employees, especially if they're able to develop a significant social circle in them) in big tech companies do the same thing: when they job hunt, they'll hit their low-priority prospects first, have others with inverted priorities do the opposite, then all parties concerned with have very recent test question lists from their, say, top 2 preferred employers, by the time they interview there.

This insiders-have-a-large-advantage factor may be at least part of why the practices survive. People without a friend & colleague network frequently interviewing at those places have a strong disadvantage... unless they hire people to scout for them, which the Twitter poster also claimed is a thing that happens.
I think it depends on region. I've heard of $20 sheets going to $70+ in California, and I could see someone who is close to production in Oregon seeing an increase from <$10 to >$50.
THIS! Mechanical keyboards are bad for RSI due to the increased finger travel, hard springs and bumpy bottoming out.

it's all relative - no system is perfect, some bad apps do slip through the cracks.

compared to Android, though? far far better, Google literally doesn't even try to police that sort of stuff, they just list it all anyway and take their cut, when this stuff comes to light Apple delists it but Google is perfectly satisfied to keep raking in their cut. That's the difference.
> Not sure how you arrived at 60% - aren't federal capital gains topped off at 20%, and this bill only 7% for gains over $250,000?

They are this year, but the Biden proposal wants to raise tax for any income over $1m (LTCG included) to the top marginal rate of 39.6%. Add that to the proposals to increase SS to 12% for income over $400k, ~3% medicare tax, etc.

Because having all of your net worth in one company is a huge risk, and anyone wanting to mitigate risk would want to diversify as soon as possible.
Although it is good to know that a news device got the very exclusive RYF certification, it is sad to know that it is a decade old technology. Nevertheless, it says more about how the vendors and manufacturers are willing to collaborate than about the FSF.

Assuming a default message size of ~10kbytes the SES pricing is about $6 for the connections plus the chunks. Your lambda pricing is negligible and the S3 pricing gets you another dollar or so.

But you're operating at the wrong scale-- 30k messages to a domain can happen in an hour by a spammer doing a directory attack. The point is that this solution is extremely open to abuse that happens all day every day over SMTP. Without a fixed-cost firewall to reject messages and only allow clean messages through to this solution, you are going to have escalating costs.

No it's not, it's looking to enshrine that standard by law for everyone.

You can choose to forgo owning stuff personally, sure. But that is not everybody's preference. And please don't pretend that "devices aren't built around discrete components anymore".

There are plenty of discrete components in a modern phone/laptop/roomba/whatever, that could be replaceable/upgradable by advanced user or entry-level technician, but are not:

I wonder how these prices factor into the regular inflation calculation.

Even last year, when I was buying lumber from Home Depot, they cancelled parts of my order, raised the price on certain items by almost 20% and never added them back.

I had to fight them for a week and it took over a month just to get a fairly modest amount of lumber delivered.

That article is vague even by the standards of Western reporting about China. This Reuters article about the same event is more specific: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-taiwan-defence-idUSKBN2BU...

It says Chinese fighters flew inside Taiwan's air defense identification zone. Here's a map which shows Taiwan's ADIZ: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c9/JADIZ_an...

You can make your own judgement as to whether that action constitutes an escalation of threat. As far as I'm aware, China's stance on what actions would trigger a military response regarding Taiwan has not changed in decades.

I had the exact same issue with my laptop - and my wrist pain wouldn't go away even after switching to a normal keyboard and watching my posture.

I also bought the Moonlander and have had very minimal pain since (~4 months now). Was thinking about this as I went to bed last night; such a relief. Sometimes I'd have to wear wrist braces at night due to pain.

Regarding the wrist rests, I find that the base of my palms, and not my wrists, touch the wrist rest. Maybe it's the size of my hands and how I have it tented, but overall I like the wrist rests quite a lot. I do try to lift my wrists a little when I'm really typing though.
These people will justify bitcoin in such insane ways. I see one guy doesn't agree that it's a battery but still thinks mining is a good thing

> Bitcoin let’s anyone with excess energy manufacture sound money. This is a better option than wasting the energy.

There are times where the grid is producing more energy than is being demanded but it's not like it's that difference that's being used to mine. I also don't get why that energy would need to be turned into money. Simply creating new coins isn't useful work (validating transactions is, but it's a horribly inefficient way to do that)
Has anyone looked at the cost of food or gas lately? Interest rates need to go up. It is beyond stupid that I was able to refinance my house at 1.75% on 15 year loan in December. My previous loan was 4% on a 30 which already was extremely low. It’s giving people free money who don’t need it. Side effect is the inflation that punishes the poor even more.
Part of this is bc everything is about Reoccurring, monthly revenue. It’s no longer good enough to build a great product , make a nice profit, and move on to the next iteration. A company now must generate (or extract) stable, reoccurring revenue from its products (which for a company/investors is much more appealing than onetime profits). It sucks imo, but it’s infected everything now.

> I don't know why they couldn't just raise prices and sell a device

This comment is exactly my feeling , and why for most products , is an unfortunate outcome of the reoccurring rev model.
Well two points on that:

- Repair schematics and diagrams are not necessarily complete schematics and may be abridged or missing some details

- Modern electronics are significantly more complex than when you were a child, unless you were born yesterday. Schematics for designs are barely useful for assembly today, let alone repair. They are primarily design documentation.

Why redirect anything? You can have backup MX records. This is already a solved problem. And backup system can be quite lightweight, if it only needs to store emails for the time primary is down and then push them to primary once it's up again.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I think the only reason you need a SoC is if you're trying to make the phone small. If you don't care about size you can have discreet components. There are millions of people with big enough pockets (literally and metaphorically) , who wouldn't notice the extra weight of their phone.

edit: discreet might be the wrong word because they would all be ICs but not quite a SoC.

Because JIT manufacturing didn't exist.

It's not coincidence that we make more devices that are more complex, and do it faster today than we did in the olden days and they are simultaneously more difficult to repair with tougher to source components in low volumes. Everything from the design process to the assembly and repair is completely different today than it was 50 years ago.

At the same time, consumers stopped caring about repairs. Why buy something you can repair if it will be obsolete in two years, and you can afford the replacement?
For one thing, I think it's an important point to make when someone else makes the, "look how repairability has regressed since the golden era of getting the Apple II schematics in the box with the computer!". At the time, design was cheap. Why not give it to your customers? It's not like they're going to go out and make one themselves.

The fact that manufacturing is cheap now and schematics are not only the key to repairability but also counterfeit Chinese knock-offs is a problem worth understanding.
I don’t know why we shouldn’t let the market handle this. If people want everything to be repairable then why isn’t there a phone which solve that issue?

Maybe people don’t care that much after all.

Historically, real estate is exempted from taxes because "we the society" want to encourage home ownership. This manifests from an american romance with land ownership.

You used to be able to vote only if you owned land. You now can invest at (effective) discount. We've always favored land ownership.
> The tax rate wouldn't be 60% even at the highest marginal rate, which is 50.4%.

The Biden tax proposal also is adding a 12.4% social security tax for all income over $400k, and it's not split by employer and employee like the first ~$150k is now.

> The average tax rate is about 30%.

What's the average rate if it were realized equally over the 6 years it was earned? Do you feel it's fair this example person pays quite a bit more in taxes versus a similar employee who chose to realize a similar income at a bigco like Facebook?
Could you please not post in the flamewar style like this, regardless of how wrong others are or you feel they are? It degrades discussion, and we're trying for the opposite direction here.

there is a big big difference between a schematic that will aid people in repairs and ones that are used to manufacture the boards...and no one fighting for right to repair is asking for that anyways

Your argument is akin to "why do you need a high-level language? just write it in assembly, C is just a hack to circumvent badly designed assembly". If a 'properly designed yaml schema' was sufficiently powerful for all these use-cases then why does everyone and their third cousin come up with new configuration languages every week? Clearly they do, thus I must reject the null hypothesis and conclude that plain yaml schemas are not sufficient.

These arguments aren't holding any water.

True, but a casual investor is less likely to sell naked calls with infinite loss.

When they sell covered calls and lose the bet, the only loss is missing out on the run up of the stock.

I mostly just used the put example because it maps better to compare to a buy and hold strategy - good if market is up, bad if market is down.

>many people consider more expenses than just transportation.

You (and other people) seem to think that food, housing, and healthcare is an expense in getting a job, but that makes zero sense from an accounting point of view. This is trivially proven with a thought experiment: let's say you were unemployed and had $2000/month in "required" expenses, and a job offered you $1000/month. Are you going to turn down that job because it "won't pay for my expenses"? Of course not, even though you're still losing money from an overall cashflow perspective, taking the job still provides you a +$1000 improvement to your financial situation[2].

[1] although I suppose you would need less calories if you didn't work, but I think that's safe to ignore

[2] for simplicity we can ignore government subsidies that gets cut off when you exceed a certain amount of income, or unemployment.
Lumber prices are not the same nation wide because lumber is not thaaaaat expensive to manufacture per volume/weight so shipping costs to get it from mill the mill to the end user are a larger and larger portion of cost the farther from the mills you get.
> In 1300 years, global warming will render a good portion of the planet uninhabitable without artificial climate controls

The idea of predicting the effects of global warming 1000 years in the future is really absurd. You are understating your point here, at our current rate of consumption, our fossil fuels will last for 200 years at (a highly inflated) maximum. Global warming as we know it is meaningless after that time period. Odds are there will be some crisis about too much consumption of atmospheric CO2 before that.
> I think it is pretty clear in most cases that 30% is well above the value Apple is actually delivering with their App Store.

You’re entitled to your opinion. And maybe it is not valuable to you. But I doubt you even know the costs to run the service so my opinion is that you are speaking from a place of ignorance.

Part of the value of the service is that you don’t have to go and build it yourself. I’m going to bet that you’d die before you built it. How valuable is your life?
