You "question the authenticity" of my statement.

I'm sorry, but this is part of the misinformation. Of course there are positive cases of COVID in schools, and of course high schools (my son is a freshman) have higher rates. This is explained by the science, which clearly shows that high school age groups have dramatically higher rates of transmission.

It's more about the risks. All of the teachers in Colorado were prioritized for vaccines. They are all vaccinated in my county (Jefferson County, which has almost 600,000 residents). Which leaves the bigger question: What's the risk to the students, and to the people they can spread it to?

To the students, the data clearly shows that it's minimal, unless they have comorbidities.

According to the CDC's latest data, here:
https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#demographics

350 people between ages 5-17 have died of COVID in the US. This age group represents 16.3 percent of the US population, or roughly 56 million people.

You were correct that I was wrong about Oregon. My brother's kids are still out of school because his wife is terrified of them catching covid, and she kept them remote. They are ages 5 and 7, respectively. She's been one of the most extreme overreacters in the pandemic. She lived like a shut in for 8 months, and she's healthy and in her 30s.

Now onto the question of the danger the kids pose to the public by spreading covid to their families or vulnerable people.

At this point, the majority of Americans over 60 are vaccinated. Vulnerable people were prioritized. Which is why you aren't seeing news reports of droves of people dying in Colorado as a result of schools being opened.

All of these decisions represent trade-offs, but too many in the US public seem to not understand relative risk. I am safer if I wear a helmet when I drive my car than otherwise, but I'm not going to, for the same reason you don't.
I'm not being literal when I say "nobody was working on electric cars".

If you need to me to clarify it: the scale and rate of progress in EV was severely accelerated by Tesla. ICE auto companies had no incentive to develop electric. The space was unprofitable, had many technical challenges.
Note also that that could be a euphemism (or simply a cause of) suicide. As suicide was considered a sin (and also often considered scandalous by the surviving family) it was rarely mentioned on death certificates.

Interestingly in modern times, at least in conservative areas, sometimes police/coroners will label an accidental self-hanging as suicide, as that's less embarrassing to the family than the reality.
Exactly. That's my biggest struggle with finding a TV these days.

I want to make sure that the networking functionality is what I attached to it, not something built into the TV that I have no way of possibly disabling or removing entirely. With some of the relatively recent PiHole posts, it's become clear that some of these smart TVs are including some level of DNS resolution on their end to get around ad blocking functionality. They'll say it's for ensuring they can always download updates, but it's really for retrieving ads.

I want a display that's going to last longer than 3 years. This is one of my concerns with Spectre displays. I'm not sure of their longevity.

I want that display to have a great picture. I also don't think Spectre displays looked particularly great when I looked at them in the past. Maybe that's changed over time.
The mandate Yegge alludes to in the “platforms rant” is to adopt a service-oriented architecture, not to build a cloud services provider.

Battles with the borrow checker are seldom won. Victory is conceding that the compiler knows better than you and fixing your design.

(I’m serious about this, as a user for eight years and casual trainer for several. The fact of the matter is that when the borrow checker complains, it’s right to complain, >99.99% of the time, even if you had thought carefully about it and were sure you got it right and that the compiler’s complaint was unnecessary.)
I've always found that an iterative collaboration between "idea" people and "execution" people has yielded the best results.

If your idea is that good, and you can't trust your "executor," then it's an idea that will either die in the crib, or will come out as a mutated, unhealthy monster.

Collaboration, between dedicated, creative ("execution people" can be very creative, you know) team members, working on an equal footing, with mutual respect and authority, works well (in my experience).

The company I worked at for years was not an especially creative one, but it had some heavy-duty science going on. Some of the folks they had in their R&D department were some of the best in the world.

But they also had a codified system, that worked fairly well, to realize their inventions in a way that could be commoditized, and that was because some of their "execution" people were also among the best in the world.
No, it's the patriarchal structures that are broken, I'm perfect. /s
Here's a reasonable metric: who controls the market for iPad or iPhone applications, and how did that compare to who controlled the market for applications that ran on Windows at the peak of Microsoft's dominance? For the former, the only distribution method is via Apple's store and Apple gets a cut of every sale. For the latter, developers could sell directly to the public; Microsoft did not control this. Apple's monopoly is much stronger.

Apple apologists will blur this by taking about the smart phone market as a whole. But once someone has bought a device, they are no longer in that larger market. They need apps, and there's only one place to get them.

That only leaves the question of whether they are abusing the monopoly.

Google has a similar monopoly over Android applications, but it's not as tight, because of side-loading and fragmentation by Amazon and others. Still, it's a near-monopoly because few people bypass the Play Store.
You cropped out the relevant part:

You could get a 5x slowdown like that for an interpreter written in Go (versus C), but that's a special case and usually it could be replaced by switching from an interpreter to a compiler. (Code generation.)
I just pulled it from an article on Wikipedia. I speak no Latin.
I'm a Gen Z and I've noticed the same thing. I think the ease of use for a lot of these technologies is to blame. A lot of people I know are into the Gaming PC subculture, but couldn't do much on the software side to fix a PC. The main reason why I tend to be good with low-level stuff on the computer is because I had a computer which constantly broke, and I had to optimize.

I think for anyone who has a kid, the best way to get them interested in this stuff is to have a bad computer, or at least one that primarily uses the shell (not that those computers are bad, I use one myself).
Ah, I now see your point. For the record, I think it's a valid one. Ransom did happen with cash, but it was much riskier - physical delivery had to happen, and it led to the criminals.
I don't live in Silicon Valley. I live in Colorado, in a Denver/Boulder suburb. Not one of the most expensive places to live, though prices have been skyrocketing during the pandemic.

I see jobs all around me every week that go to the $150k-160k range. If I decided to take a Google or Amazon job I could easily break $200k, maybe more (including stock grants).

Developers in the US get paid more because demand has actually pushed our wages up to closer to what they're actually worth to an employer.

I've read estimates that a strong software engineer can add $500k-$1M of value per year to a company. You want a strong software engineer in charge of Babel, right?

Yep, I agree. If you want perfect security and a 100% trust-less solution, then uFincs certainly isn't it.

What's that have to do with UBI? I'm confused.

Maybe not, but it is still a major PITA.
The important questions remains: Why is it possible to reduce salaries without losing your workforce? If it's because the economy is shrinking and job supply is dropping, CEO salaries should be less competitive too and share prices should be dropping but we see the contrary.

There's something more than basic market dynamics at play here, inequality is being systematically nurtured which I think is the premise of the article.
You say this definitively, as if every OSS project uses GitHub exclusively for all communication. This is obviously not the case.

I am not an accountant.

What if you setup GmbH and accumulate wealth there with no limits? Then it can pay you a small salary for private expenses to match your student grant limit. I think the grant should not limit you to be company owner/shareholder, unless you earn dividends.
Yes, but he also says he’s mentioned it privately many times. When the appropriate channels are exhausted, this seems appropriate for an OSS project where transparency is part of the formula.

Especially since the problem is being framed in a way that OP thinks is incorrect and misleading.

I don’t like “back channels” on open source projects because they make it harder for new users to get into the project. Discussions should be open and accurate, not behind closed doors.

As a potential donor to this project, I’m glad that OP posted this as otherwise I wouldn’t know about their weird way of dividing donations.

As far as I’m aware nothing stops them from doing just that. You’ve got the dynamics right, but the hardware is not the problem, it’s the app.

They want iOS users to download the Tile app instead of using the native Find My. If they don’t, coverage will be severely degraded for Android users as you mention.

The hardware is just a dumb emitter. Fixing this would require either:

1. The Find My api to be available on Android, so phones can track and locate tags

2. Find My on iOS uploads tag data to a third party service of the users’ choice

The latter is absolutely unlikely as it exposes user data defeating all of the privacy guarantees Apple developed. #1 is more likely but still a long shot.

If you are already keeping the chat logs, maybe you could figure out a way to record the whole session including the whiteboard sessions? Then if you can figure out a way to tag the session’s content appropriately, you would pretty quickly end up with a searchable library of tutoring sessions available on the site (wouldn’t be hard to anonymize them to protect the student and tutor’s privacy). Then you could use the students and volunteers to filter them for quality by making them available in the app / on the site by upvoting etc. That way you would leverage your expensive resource (volunteers) and provide another way for students to benefit if they aren’t in a position to do an interactive tutoring session e.g. on the bus, too noisy at home etc - many low income students have no quiet place at home to do this kind of session because there are just too many people sharing the space.

Getting back to the safety aspect - people are less likely to test the boundaries of your safety rules if they know these (anonymized) sessions will be seen by many other people, and this would massively increase the number of eyeballs for each session further increasing the detection rate of any remaining bad behavior

[Edit - you could also use these recorded sessions to help volunteers get better at teaching, you could get an expert to put together small videos on improving teaching technique with positive and negative anonymized examples from the sessions, then make them available to the volunteer tutors. That could be another low cost and scalable way to reward the tutors - most people who teach would like to get better at it!]
I think you’re both right, but it’s the definition of “an idea” that has some assumptions.

Take Noah Kagan’s term “wantrepreneur” as the groundwork for what I mean:

Person A’s ideas are: Get business cards, build a website, get pamphlets, buy equipment, buy a business car, and so-on.

Person B’s idea is: find 3 clients first, do the rest after.

Person A’s ideas are all objectively good, but many of us who have seen businesses come and go won’t count those as ideas, and therefore will say “you have a good idea that needs refining” when talking about the core idea for the business.

I do order the solution in "you should choose the simplest one that doesn't disrupt your environment" as:

Use a single database for transational and analytical workloads.

Replicate your transational database as is for analytical workloads.

Remodel your data and replicate to the exact same technology stack.

Remodel your data and replicate into specialized tools for analytics.

I have never seen anybody that actually needs the last one. But the largest environments I've looked are government databases with a few thousands of people working on (there are bigger envs out there).

IMO if this just becomes a round-about way to raise the minimum wage, I'm all for it.

I hear a lot of talking heads explaining that there's more jobs posted now than ever but people just don't want to do them. Therefore, we should cut unemployment benefits. My take on it is... how about instead, they raise wages?

It's really strange to hear the exact same talking heads decry that wages have remained stagnant for decades. It's not like the stick is the only mechanism we have to incentivize behavior.

[edit] Labor market prices are a function of supply and demand; a good way to raise wages is to constrain supply. This is a nice way to do that, IMO.

Yes Bezos is definitely passionate about business, and certainly as a business Amazon is 1 if not 2 orders of magnitude above Tesla or SpaceX.

The problem I've always had with these type of apps is keeping them in sync with what I've spent using my CC or bank transfers. After a while it gets truly annoying to import or god forbid type in all weekly transactions.

I see that CSV import is supported. For people like me it will be truly useful to outline, with examples, how and what exactly can be automated using CSV or other methods.

In my family we use Wallet [1], which allows for shared family accounts, budgets and bank account sync. The app definitely has some issues, like because of the PSD2 requirements, sync sometimes fails for some banks. It lacks a solid algorithm that recognizes/remembers the type of synced expenses. It also lacks some features like investment type of accounts that support stocks or crypto with real-time updates.

That being said, it still provides an immediate look over our current finances and monthly balance with as little need for account management as possible.

I hope this feedback helps.

OP called out PRs and comments, not just code. I’m not familiar with this project, but there’s a lot of stuff required for projects that isn’t coding but still shows up in GitHub’s activity. Even basic stuff like doing demos and updating customer stuff shows up as updates to the web site and notes on presentations and stuff.

Unless someone’s job is just sending email and talking on the phone, I’d expect some visibility. Not for tracking purposes, but for community engagement since it’s the best way to clarify requests, produce roadmap info, etc.
€38-78k is a high salary in Europe. Net median income in Spain is $27k.

I changed jobs as well, but I have noticed pretty high turnover in my personal web of contacts.

However (again, anecdotal) I think people are fairly uneasy about having to hit the job market right now. At least where I live, there's a feeling of worry about the housing market specifically, and many people I've talked to want to sit pat and see.
well, yes, i used to think like that too, but i changed my mind. even when i received downvotes. they don't say much, but they did tell me that there are people who disagree with me. it is a weak signal, but it is a signal, and so it's not useless nor unreasonable.

personally, i only downvote if i feel someone says something unreasonable or worse. but not if it is a good argument, even one that i disagree with. in those cases i even counterupvote other downvotes.

as for the downvote on my comment, that was more a rethorical question. i was actually just laughing at that, given the subject of the message. and the subsequent upvotes show that a lot of people agree with the comment.

(edit: it gets funnier. by now my above comment received at least 8 upvotes and 4 downvotes (or up to 4 people changed their mind))

Have you found that to be sufficient?

I came away from the experience rather disillusioned with the idea of trying to do this online at all.
