I understand why people love mechanical keyboards, and my main keyboard is amazing mechanical Keychron K1, but I would rather prefer high quality membrane keyboards similar to those found in laptops, thin, light, silent. And I wish there was a way to produce membrane keyboards at home with arbitrary layouts.
For example I prefer pretty rare "classical" IBM M1 but without numeric keys layout. But it seems impossible to print films and arrange keycaps in DIY way at home.

Currency is transactional, not a store of wealth. I'd say it's a bad idea to store your wealth in currency, absolutely, and I'd cite it's lack of inherent value as the reason why.

>It's not like the restaurant owner has the option of just deciding to pay twice or three times the labor costs, and trust that their customers will be happy to cover the difference, if their competitors don't have to do the same.

This feels a bit backwards. We don’t know that their competitors aren’t already paying more, we only know that some people can’t seem to get labor at the price they were paying before. I think the numbers here are currently inconclusive, but I conjecture that what we’re seeing is small business owners losing labor monopsonies that they had come to rely on, and consequently a more competitive labor market. Of course competition causes upward pressure on prices, that’s the whole point.

This is tangential but I think America has been too scared of inflation for too long. There’s nothing wrong with a bit of inflation, especially if it means we can get closer to full employment. We haven’t even been meeting the fed’s (very low) target for quite a while.
If this is happening it is truly a good thing. I have always felt that the best way to have improvements for entry-level labor is if they just refused to take the shitty jobs and the market turned on employers. What employers refer to as shortages aren't really that at all. The truth is that the labor market is just not in their favor as it typically is.

I do not think it is ideal that the alternative option being utilized is government handouts. I'd rather people have the mindset to, for example, run their own hot dog stand on the street instead working for a fast food chain. But entrepreneurship is not easy for everyone.
Business should always have to compete for labour. That way there is an incentive to replace labour with machines and better processes - which is where increased standard of living comes from.

However there is a problem. The 'standard job' is now gardening leave with a wage, which any other job has to compete with. And what that leads to is a 'dead zone gap' in the wage structure between the 'standard job' and the next reasonable job (say working 9-5 Mon-Fri with full benefits, close to home). A private employer has to pay a much higher wage than the payment for the 'standard job' to get people to work for their 'reasonable job'.

(You get the same between unemployment benefit and the 'minimum wage' in many countries).

However we could have everybody earning the living wage working for a publicly provided 'reasonable job' at a living wage, which would mean the that the private employer would only have to pay a penny more per hour to get the labour they need.

The most efficient construction is when the 'standard job' and the 'reasonable job' are the same. That eliminates the 'dead zone wage gap', and allows people to smoothly move between public and private jobs, increasing the efficiency of the use of labour - all without exploitation.

And those business that can't deliver a profit with this system? Well they get to close to make room for better businesses that can.

Business is there to serve people, not the other way around.
~This is a really bad idea in my opinion because the total cost of operating the App Store would be equally distributed amongst all apps, which hurts small developers and benefits big corporations disproportionately. An app like Facebook, which is downloaded billions of times, does cost Apple significantly more than a small indie app used by, say, thousands. You can't get around that. Having the small indie app paying for Facebook (indirectly) is a lot worse than the current system. Worse, Apple is unlikely to decrease its profit margin. This would mean small developers and big corps pay an equal share in the profits Apple is going to make.~

~A better idea would be to have a free tier and take a percentage above that. The first $1000 are a lot more valuable to the creator than everything beyond that.~

edit: OP said per download, misread it. That makes sense.
The laws in the US only require companies to provide health insurance and other benefits to full-time workers, usually defined as something over 30/hours a week. If a company hires a bunch of people to work 20-25 hours, they don't have to pay benefits.

The solution, obviously, is to change the law so that any employee, regardless of hours, must get benefits. The other solution, in the US, is to get rid of the antiquated employer-provided private health insurance market and just give everyone health care, the way every other wealthy (and not-so-wealthy) country does.

...but imagine the economic benefits of giving teenagers a living wage. People who have loads of extra money to spend on unnecessary items (because presumably they're not paying for the bare necessities like food and housing).

Worse than 20 years ago but sure, better than the 1800s.
How do you handle buying clothes?
Most people need full time work to survive to pay for everything. They need 40 hours of paid work per week as well as health care, a benefit that is usually only provided to full time employees.

Businesses usually don't need 40 hours per person per week, especially for things like restaurants. They also do not want to pay for health coverage. So they offer part time jobs with 20 random hours per week.

To survive, you would need to cobble together two of those jobs and hope that you don't get sick. Or you can hold out/leave immediately as soon as full time work is available.
'Pop' can also take the form of increasing inflation, making people take bigger risks for returns, leading to a bigger pop that is not coming soon. People saying this market can't sustain need to think about the inverse: what needs to happen for this market cycle to last 5-10+ years?

"The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent."
Clearly some people want to work from home, whereas other people want to work in the office. There are reasons why mixed teams are bad so it would seem that you have to cater to one or the other. But, can't you make some teams fully remote and others fully onsite?

I'm curious - does Tile have similar protections for their devices?

Because I found this article that says Tile trackers were used by bad actors

https://blog.malwarebytes.com/stalkerware/2019/07/helping-su...

So, if Airtags have stalking protections, why wouldn't I just use a Tile to track someone? They're sortof in the same ballpark of price and size.

Is it because Apple's scale is so wide that it makes their Airtags significantly better for stalking?

Yeah, I worked in hospitality my entire 20s in a major American city, only ONCE did I work with an actual HS teenager and that was at a middle-brow Mexican place and his family knew the owners, and he only worked weekends. Great kid though.

Absolutely, but the interesting bits are in the metrics. How many lines of code does it take in each language? How many distinct concepts are required for the solution? To what degree is the mastery of each concept required?
> The result is that, in some circumstances, earning 1 more dollar results in losing thousands of dollars.

I think your new marginal rate only applies to anything over the limit that bumped you into a new tax bracket, so I don’t think this is right. A raise always gets you more money.

The exception being if it bumps you out of the government assisted healthcare bracket. Then, a raise could indeed be a loss.

Edit: I thought you were talking about income tax, but you might have been talking about business subsidies, which I know nothing about.

I pay my fair share of taxes and I'm happy to support 'freeloaders' when they're unemployed and need support. Especially if it leads to a universal living wage from employers.

Don't speak for me please.
It is not at all required for engineers to be acting rationally, let alone for them to be the only ones acting rationally, for workers—of any type—to have a better understanding of what will let them get a good job done for the company than upper management.

This is especially true in large corporations, where upper management is very insulated from the realities of line-level work. It is also especially true in most publicly-traded corporations, where upper management is almost invariably going to care more about the trendline in the company's stock price than in their actual productivity, or even in the well-being of their workers.
Having a new technology to bring to the market is good for the industry. Service providers, hardware providers, salespeople, etc. Most consumers love the hype!

I needed a new test phone the other day so I bought a new iPhone 11 at a Verizon store. The salespeople could not wrap their head around my choice because it doesn't support 5g. I gave them some great reasons and they relunctantly took my money.

Most "pizza places" will not hire someone full-time. They want part time employees so that they do not have to deal with benefits.

Now, the intelligent thing to do as a nation would be to offload those benefits to the government so that companies would be free of the extra work AND employees would be free to move to better jobs... but America is not the land of the smart.

I think it would help to ask: repairable by whom? And at what cost?

Apple will replace an iPhone screen for ~$100. I’m fine with that. But my washing machine which is repairable and has parts and schematics available from the manufacturer will cost me > $400 in labor to replace a $20 part. Plus it’s > 10 years old so I know more parts will fail. I’m just going to buy a new one.

Don't buy this anectode. BCG is too expensive to be hired by managers to convince executives. There are cheaper ways to do that.

Most common scenario is that the executives want to prioritize between 100s of managers' pet-projects, then they hire us to swift through.

End result is that a company (correctly) focus on a few high impact projects and a bunch of middle managers get hurt because their pet project get underfunded.
>There are plenty of things you can do as a manufacturer to make things repairable, but there are just as many things that you can't do without making creating major issues in other areas.

Absolutely.

Also consider the movement up the foodchain of product development. How do you 'repair' something that's a SoC with a few wires to the outside world. Mechanical items, car parts for example, tend to move towards more complex unserviceable items...there was a time when mechanical fuel pumps were taken apart and rebuilt, headlights were a standardized $5 part rather than a major part of front-end styling.

I see the concerns of people although it usually all involves some particular product family that they have a special kink for.

I would guess that the endgame consists of items that cannot be serviced in any way (in order to push down manufacturing cost usually) combined with a figleaf of published information in order to satisfy the text of a 'right to repair' law.
It's almost like this happened in the midst of a global pandemic where most people aren't allowed to do the things they would rather do than sit inside and play games...
AWS bills their services on usage. If AWS ever offered billing as a service (ala Stripe) they would most definitely charge you a % of the transaction amount, along with a flat rate per transaction.

Apple doesn't charge developers 30% of revenue; they charge 30% of revenue made from purchasing from the app store, and in-app purchases.
We should also consider a carbon tax on the less efficient ones
It's not even the shitty entry-level labor that is underpaid. There's plenty of examples of companies offering $15/hr for mid-career jobs requiring some post-secondary education.
There's a fairly big difference between a duopoly, which, for the record, major government services rely on (if you want the COVID tracking app its either iOS or Android, if you want an app that your senator will use, you probably have to make it for iOS, etc.), and services that you can actually wholesale replace in your product like a payment processor. Not to mention certain school courses that are taught with iOS, etc. Apple has worked very hard to position themselves as one of the only players in the space, and they've succeeded! There is certainly an argument that the duopoly situation is fine, but it is in absolutely no way the "exact same" as with Apple and the AppStore.

As someone that made okay bread/buns/rolls/dough by hand, switching to a bread maker makes me never want to go back. I can appreciate the by-hand techniques and customization you can do, but "that one thing" you speak of is a huge sell.

I can spend over an hour combining the ingredients, kneading, washing up several times between stages because making bread is , cleaning the bowls, materials, and pans I used....or I can spend 2 minutes and use a bread maker and make even better bread than I was making beforehand.

There is a non-negligible peace of mind that comes with progressing from by-hand to bread maker. I would certainly suggest making it by hand for a bit if you aren't used to it, however.

I agree completely.

Downturns are events where many participants learn how the market really works.

It’s an ugly reality check, but thankfully we have them frequently. Otherwise you get really overbought and then events like the tulip mania/bubble happen.

Also, this isn't limited to stocks - back when whale oil was a thing, there were all sorts of booms and busts, depending mostly if a ship came in with or without a whale.

Instead of Wall Street analysts, there were people with telescopes to view the incoming ships as far from port as possible to gain an information advantage.

All of my research in this suggests this behavior is hardwired into human DNA and won’t ever change.
> That doesn't prevent it from becoming so mainstream at work

I would say that it does. If your boss is not aware of this system, they will not allow to use it or consider secure. At work, I am typically not allowed to freely choose my OS.
Not a good outcome for employers. Good for everyone else.
It depends on what you work on. Of course if you work with iOS development your surroundings will be mostly macOS machines since it's a hard requirement, no surprises here hence my comment about bubbles. Otherwise statistically speaking, macs are not the default developer machine as per surveys.

It also depends on who you admire. For example Linus, someone I admire, uses a AMD Threadripper 3970x. And the best engineer I personally know, uses a Thinkpad with Debian.

On my team, currently responsible for heavy backend engineering, we have been replacing macs with Dell XPS + Linux due to mac's horrible support for Docker which is a hard requirement for us.
That page is rather deceptive because the images it uses are 1920x1080, but they are displayed after downsampling them to be much smaller. This masks the substantial blurriness introduced by lower quality levels of AVIF. If you zoom into the full resolution versions you can see that the road surface actually has a lot of roughness, but the compressed version makes the road look smooth.
Why shouldn't they? The government taxes everything it possibly can, and for the past year the government has put a ton of restrictions in place that caused a lot of people to lose their jobs. It is now time for the government to start using those taxes to provide the safety net it promises us.

If the pentagon can "lose" 125 billion dollars ($125,000,000,000), I really don't care that people with the ability to "milk" the gov for cash are taking advantage of that ability. It's their own money in the first place!

I already listed two, because you need

- cheap framing

- bidirectional comms

- are already exposing an HTTP port

- can make no assumptions about the client's networking than port 443 available, even if only via a HTTPS proxy

- can make no assumptions about the client's software except they can speak an extremely common protocol

- want security to work the same way it does for the rest of your services

"web-scale" doesn't come into it. Websockets are inherently difficult to scale because they're stateful, but in return you get the lowest latency in both directions the underlying network can provide with extremely reasonable (2-4 bytes) overhead compared to raw TCP or SSL

I've been using the new Google TV (different from just a Chromecast dongle) and think it's pretty good, especially if you're also using other Google apps and services. $50 is a pretty reasonable price for the feature-set, and 1/3 of the cost of an Apple TV.
GraphQL severs handle subscriptions websockets as well usually.
I've recently started working with rust and wasm - I love the esoteric nature of it - I also hate the surface area that it's creating on the client.

The paper is indeed correct - we did this 20 years ago - same architecture except with JVM instructions.

I'm entirely neutral on the merits of this tech supercycle - there are some great things being built, there are also old potholes getting uncovered that will end with some lessons re-learned.
Well I'm not. Now there's two anecdotes to work with.

I worked a shitty job to get through college, it's a stepping stone.

These jobs aren't meant to live on. They should be used as part time jobs for people transitioning in their careers, like students.

When you give handouts to people who don't want to work you are not doing them any favors. They become reliant and trapped in that loop.

That's not to say there shouldn't be a safety net with strict qualifications. You're doing no service to the people who need it by allowing those who don't.

We should be spending money creating new, better paying jobs, not new social programs.
