I think this is a disingenuous comparison. Builders get paid to build houses. Authors, to my knowledge, do not frequently get paid to write books, they get paid when they sell books.

When you resell a house, you are not denying the builders anything. When you resell a book, you are (possibly) denying the author a sale.
My Olympus does in-body HDR, noise reduction with stacking, low-light handheld with sensor stabilization, and more. It's not "full-frame" but full-frame is a meaningless condescension from the 35mm crowd.
If you were thinking of some other “bad words” then I'm happy to be corrected. My experience led me to think those must be the “bad words” you were speaking of.

besides the surveilence part, yes I do. social acceptance is a huge part of being a teen, no matter the social circle.

I was on irc throughout my early teens.
After Windows 95 came out, fucking everyone used Franklin Black in their advertisements. I saw it everywhere -- online, on billboards, in television advertisements. Microsoft may have the aesthetic tastes of a lame, "greetings fellow young people" dad, but they were the biggest name in the tech field... and that meant people copied their design language in the hopes of seeming equally big and important.
I'm old enough to remember that the terrible situation in jail was the number 1 deterrent for doing crime. The phrase "don't do the crime if you can't do the time" really meant something when the prospect of going to a hell-on-earth prison was real.

Not saying that this should come back, but...jail isn't supposed to be pleasant. It's part of the peace-keeping process. Sort of a "see? It _can_ get worse" punishment.
Modern computers are ridiculously powerful, processing a 4k image with a 50x50 filter is real time >60hz on cpu using a decent fft solution, and on a decent gpu you could do many times more >60hz.

Oh sure, there are lots of usecases for fast but bad. But what bugs me is that people arent using them for those cases. Worse still, people are using repeated fast but bad, and then more fast and bad to fix the problems that caused, and effectively creating slow and bad filters.
Very good visualisation, even better than the other one that was posted here recently because this takes altitude and in fact the entire orbit into account too.
> "old, but new"

If we end-up in a similar discussion after 10\20 years, your comment would still be valid because Chatting, Operations software are part of very basic needs of any org. So, at that time, your comment also would be - "old, but new" :-)

It's a cycle and it goes on :-)
> I guess that's why top performing movie stars, NBA basketball players etc. have their wages depressed?

I can't speak to movie stars, but as for the NBA, there is absolutely the concept of a maximum salary (depends on years of service plus other things besides the point) in the collective bargaining agreement. This limits the compensation a player may receive from a team for a particular year. The top players like LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, would no question receive higher salaries if this limit did not exist.

As to whether or not the top players or even the players as a whole are better off or worse off for having a union, that's a horse of a different color. My gut feeling is that both classes are better off.
I looked into bay area jobs and FAANG was worth a minimum of $40k premium over working at other companies.
It might sound an odd way to phrase things, but it was both more fine-grained and more meaningful than your rephrasing.

The average Indian earns less than 4 dollars a day. The average Indian still buys their shampoo in little 5ml sachets that cost 2cents because they can't afford the full bottle even though buying the full bottle would be cheaper in the long run. So, the average Indian definitely can't afford to pay the Indian price for Netflix either.

The average Indian is not the target market of Netflix or of any Internet business. All the talk of India being a market of a billion users is nonsense. Only the top 5 percent, maybe 10, of people in India have the disposable income for them to be a potential target customer for most businesses. For all intents and purposes, India is a market of ~50-100 million customers.

When I say that the Indian market is much more price sensitive, I am talking about this group of people, not the average Indian. The reason Netflix is priced half of what it is in the US is because this group of people are willing to pay that much for Netflix. The average Indian is simply not a relevant concern.
I have on my bookshelf a book written by a personal friend of mine. A fun non-fiction book, but I'm sure he didn't market it.
Thanks for your hard work Dang.

Would vouching for a dev.to link make a difference in this case?
Yes, in the sense that all engineering design errors are human error. This is why we have critiques. Maybe something appears to work (i.e. doesn't give an error, or serves thousands of flights successfully), but that does not mean no changes are necessary. There are latent bugs that can pop up at any moment.

Tests (including user testing) are guardrails; no one should be driving to their destination just by banging into the guardrails and letting that guide them. Not least because that's not what guardrails are for, but also because there are guardrails everywhere and they don't actually guide you in any particular direction.
I'd posit you are being optimistic there. Just look at the python packaging story. It had 20 years to get better and it's still only getting worse.
> There is no difference between physicality and the information that backs it. Only a philistine would try to claim that.

The map is not the territory. A ball is a ball and its motion is its motion, while Newton's equations of motion for that ball are something else.

While it is possible that the MWI is right and the state of the entire universe could be described by a single, universal wavefunction, that wouldn't mean that the universe is that wavefunction, anymore than Maxwell's equations are the electromagnetic field.

Now, there is an interesting question that indeed no one knows the answer to for now: is the wavefunction a direct description of a physical object, or is it just a statistical tool for predicting possible positions of the real objects (waves and particles existing in some duality)?

Also, you shouldn't forget that none of the existing interpretations of QM actually solve the measurement problem, not even MWI. Here is Sabine Hossenfelder's explanation of this [0]:

> In the many worlds interpretation, if you set up a detector for a measurement, then the detector will also split into several universes. Therefore, if you just ask “what will the detector measure”, then the answer is “The detector will measure anything that’s possible with probability 1.”

> This, of course, is not what we observe. We observe only one measurement outcome. The many worlds people explain this as follows. Of course you are not supposed to calculate the probability for each branch of the detector. Because when we say detector, we don’t mean all detector branches together. You should only evaluate the probability relative to the detector in one specific branch at a time.

> That sounds reasonable. Indeed, it is reasonable. It is just as reasonable as the measurement postulate. In fact, it is logically entirely equivalent to the measurement postulate. The measurement postulate says: Update probability at measurement to 100%. The detector definition in many worlds says: The “Detector” is by definition only the thing in one branch. Now evaluate probabilities relative to this, which gives you 100% in each branch. Same thing.

> And because it’s the same thing you already know that you cannot derive this detector definition from the Schrödinger equation. It’s not possible. What the many worlds people are now trying instead is to derive this postulate from rational choice theory. But of course that brings back in macroscopic terms, like actors who make decisions and so on. In other words, this reference to knowledge is equally in conflict with reductionism as is the Copenhagen interpretation.

This sounds like a problem to solve.
I take Magnesium Glycinate personally, but have heard good things about Magnesium Threonate.
The one thing that has pissed me off the most about job markets is that companies have outsourced the training on you... the most common remark when interviewing is "we want someone be able to hit the ground right away"

I remember hearing about companies actually training their people.
Uh I think this depends on the context. In your work you must absolutely self promote. You have to bluntly tell your boss the work you accomplished especially if it's work that's getting attention. But that's because this is a big part of work. We're trying to give more responsibility to people who are achieving things in the work place. It's relevant.

But bringing those things up at a BBQ or while golfing just seems like an attempt to agrandize yourself. Those are supposed to be egalitarian social situations. Your work accomplishments have little value there. Unless you want to live in the god awful world of that HBO show "Succession".
I think this hits the nail on the head.

There is a low barrier to solving someone's pain in creating a typical CRUD app. Its easy to pick an industry, find an application that could use some newer features and create something. Copying feature parity involves little creative work.

There is no ceiling on making a game fun to play. Creative, fun ways to do crafting, leveling, fighting, puzzles, etc. can engage players to come back and replay content infinitely if that is the goal.
I would add to list sifting thru 100s of reviews then wondering if they or the 4.5 star rating are from bots, lazy people or those who just unwrapped it.

On the plus side you can shop online when your kids are sleeping.
I spent a large portion of my teenage years chatting with strangers on IRC. As much as 12 hours at a time, I would stay up through the night talking with groups in channels I frequented.

I'm not sure if this is good or bad for my personal development. Though it did jumpstart my education in computer science and career as a software engineer.
Why would it matter that you are renting a room in a crack house? Do you have fewer rights if other people are committing crime in your vicinity?
hbomberguy made a pretty decent video about this a few years ago [1]. From around the 10-minute mark he talks about how many horror/thriller films worked much better on VHS than they did in the cinema, because on VHS there weren't enough details to make out if there was a monster lurking in the background or not, and you also couldn't see how unrealistic the old cgi effects were.

> Traditional publishers are looking for a sure thing. They want an author who already has an existing platform and can guarantee an audience.

This seems factually untrue. Obviously, that's the ideal author that they will pay out big advances to, but publishers publish tons of books by unproven authors.

They publish a lot of books hoping to find a few that take off and sell well.
I’m not a biologist, but isn’t puberty still a thing?
I work for a medical device company in the midwest. So definitely meets the "unsexy" criterial - slow-paced embedded development in an "unsexy" location. Definitely low on the pay side even when factoring in cost of living. Work conditions are pretty ok, especially if you are not ambitious. I doubt this kind of work gets much more than a CoL bump on the coasts.
> Linux being GPL made it successful. It centralizes development and with every developer joining in it cements it even further.

Centralization doesn't have much to do with the GPL. With a BSD system, you can take an upstream release and use it as the base of your system and not publish your changes. With a GPL system, you can do the same, but if you distribute your system to others, you have to publish your changes; but you don't have to work with the upstream system unless you want to; your changes might get pushed upstream by someone else, or used as inspiration by upstream, but that's not that common. If you wanted to work with upstream, you can do that with BSD as well.

It may be forgotten or not known by many, but there was a 1991 lawsuit from AT&T over code in BSDi and the code in question was in other BSD distributions at the time including FreeBSD until the 2.0 release in November 1994. Certainly Linux had its moment of legal uncertainty that turned out fine, but it came after it was already well established. BSD had a legal shadow at a much earlier time, and that may have driven some people away.
Monetary value and its instruments are amoral. They're neither good nor bad, so "weighing" their uses would be entirely unfair. The demonetization in India was a perfect example of moralizing currency instruments. (The IMF loved it because of the resale of data from digitizing transactions and India loved it for tracking people's financial habits. Modi loved it because it punished poor people.)

If you're trying to ban cash because you can buy illegal things with it, then you have a logic problem.
There's a lot of interesting stuff in this post, including a different architecture for verifying eBPF programs, so it's frustrating to see a bullshitting comment at the top of the thread. I don't like Windows either, but the virality of the eBPF (and dtrace) model is an interesting story that tells us stuff about what operating systems are going to look like 10 years from now, and we need to do better than comments like this.
I absolutely agree, I don't think solving this problem is something that can really be considered. I do think it's a problem, though.

I think you're taking my analogy of tickets too far, though. It was simply to highlight the fact that, by reading the book without paying the author a dime, you are getting permanent access to the materials without the author being paid, which I think is an issue.

I think the only feasible solution is a kind of royalty fee on resales, but I can easily imagine this becoming a logistical nightmare. As I said, I'm not sure this problem has a workable solution.
None of us have leverage besides our willingness to walk away. That's not the difference.

I see some people act like negotiating is an antagonistic game of chicken or something. In reality, it's just an amicable case of you finding your best options, communicating them clearly to everyone involved, then taking the best option. Think of it as more like an auction than some slick game of poker. What's wrong with this script?

Candidate: I'd like $150K. Comparable companies offer people with my experience $150K.

Hiring manager: We'll offer you $100K.

Candidate: I'll walk if you give me less than $140K.

Hiring manager: Ok... Bye?

Candidate: Okay, bye. [Takes a job earning $150k at one of
those other companies]

In general, I think the benefits of negotiating don't go to the individual. They go to next individual/the market. You repeat that script a few times and the hiring manager goes to HR and says nobody's taking the job unless they pay more.

(If instead, you say "okay, fine I'll take $100k, I was bluffing" then that's what the next person is offered too.)

> "Just negotiate better!" OK, great... how?

My mental model is to approach it cooperatively. You're not trying to beat them. Talk about other data points if they say you're not being realistic, and talk about the reasons you're a better fit than they accounted for when you ask for more. They say they're better than the next company and you say you're better than the next candidate.

But most of all, just make sure you actually have that alternative you're willing to walk away for. Interview while you have a job. Time your interviews so that you have options while this conversation takes place.

YMMV. I've gotten like +10% from negotiating and +30% from walking away to take other offers, which should tell you the relative importance of each.
I'm not so sure that 'corect' lesson is lost in schools, it sounds more like “we should resist external government force” is just a short cut of 'absolute power corrupts absolutely.'
> Now it's 'passive', sure, but no longer an 'investment'

...unless the math adds up and you're still making a profit.
not quite, designing minimum passband distortion filters with no amplitude increase anywhere is slightly harder, but its not impossible. Even if you are strictly removing some specific frequencies, as you can design the filter in such a way that the spectrum amplitude ringing strikes zero for them. In practice though, simply reducing these frequencies by a factor of 100 is good enough and thats possible for bands without needing to have any amplitude above 1.
The government has no duty to go to lengths to seek out prospective owners and deliver property to them.

They post a notice at the site of the warrant and anyone with an interest goes to them.

Since the owners allege that they put their name and contact information on that box, we can presume they would have no qualms about providing same, and a description of the contents, to the custodian of the property to claim it.
Yeah, this article in particular is not really the one I'd pick if I wanted to highlight the problems with American prisons. It's anecdotal anyways. Even the best, most compassionate prisons in the world probably have lots of quite negative anecdotes.

However, the horrors of the American prison system are pretty well documented, and I'm not sure it's really controversial to say that these are very bad places to find oneself, significantly worse than the prisons of many other western developed nations, and a much larger percentage of America's population is in prison than any other democratic nation.
You could surround that chair with some armor. Maybe add a few guns and a bigger fuel tank, too. Add a more efficient air propulsion system like some sort of propeller and a bigger engine at that point for maximum performance.

Just joking heh, I actually think it would be better to make it autonomous or remote controlled. I don't see why a drone can't drop on the ship and set up a ladder in a similar manner, while being lighter.
Though, fairly buried after using the term constantly throughout the beginning of the piece!

As someone who worked on the predecessor to OpenDoc (Apple Document Framework) I think a key issue was that the HyperMedia underpinnings that motivated our work took

too long to happen and

depended on structured media less than we anticipated.

A world in a which a sea of interlinked richly structured documents existed would have likely been a world where the advantages of OpenDoc-like architectures would have mattered. As it was the WWW (when it happened some years after ADF and AppleScript were conceived) turned out to do just fine with loosely structured text and bitmap images.

Within the business app world (as other folks have noted) the incumbent players pretty much stuck with their monolithic architectures (to this day embedding structured media within web pages isn't well supported - how would you stick an Excel or Numbers spreadsheet in a page today?).

A more alarming trend has been the growing disinterest among the major players toward advancing the cause of end user authoring of structured media (e.g. anything besides video and throwaway picture taking). Perhaps the success of the computer as consumption enabler makes progress in this area uninteresting from a commercial perspective.

While I do industrial stuff now, I miss the days when authoring tools were seen as arenas for innovation - heaven knows there's a lot of room to make the likes of Word, OneNote, Visio etc more powerful and usable.
Author here! Hope you enjoy this piece & happy to answer questions and receive feedback.
It's heavily dependent on the region one lives in. In Jacksonville, FL, for instance, $150k+ is mostly reserved for SVP/C-level folks.
On contrast, I've been into photography for more than 20 years, and I currently own a Nikon D60 that was gifted to me 2 or 3 years ago (and that would cost less than $200 if I would have bought it instead). I can afford an A7IV or whatever is the latest gear, I just don't want to.
My wife has toyed with the idea of writing romance novels. Do you have many romance writers on Leanpub? Her thinking is to keep the "trashiness" of most romance but improve on the story and writing. She keeps saying "I need a publisher", but I was thinking there must be a simple way to publish straight to Amazon, looks like that's Leanpub!
Genes Linked to Self-Awareness in Modern Humans Were Less Common in Neandertals
Parents can't see the conversations but can see the number of messages and calls per contact, as well as recently shared/received photos. It's a pretty good compromise IMHO.
They aren't only given "hammers". They have an array of tools at their disposal. There are some cops who don't have the training or the capacity (standards are pretty low) to effectively use the correct tool, like that cop that thought she was using a taser. But countless others are able to correctly choose and use the right tool for the job.
Everyone who tells you something had a reason to do so. If it wasn't "you paid them", then its a good bet someone else did. Even when you paid them to tell you the truth, you have to assess what they mean by "truth" and how honest their effort to deliver it was.

If a doctor says "take this pill," do you huck it down or look it up and see if its something you actually wanted to eat?

People trust "authority" too much.
I swear have people forgot what it was like when we were kids. It's not like Facebook is covering new ground here. My parents were pressured into to giving me internet access so I could talk to my friends on AIM, I begged my Dad to buy me a cell phone because all my friends had them. And don't even get me started on Pokemon cards, Game Boy links, slap bracelets, silly bands, a bike so I could reach my friend's houses, and a car when I turned 16.

You're not conditioning your kids to be soulless zombies to lord Zuckerberg any more than I was conditioned to love AOL. Let your kids socialize in whatever way their friends are, the actual socializing and shared experience is what will matter years down the line.
Zero chance it's electric.
As the article notes, Firefox has an HTTPs-only mode now and Tor Browser is based on Firefox ESR, so there's a chance they might add that feature in the next major version update:

> When Tor Browser migrates to Firefox 91esr we will look at enabling https-only mode for everyone, but there remains a significant concern that there are many sites that do not support HTTPS (especially more region specific sites) and the question of what messaging Tor Browser should use in that case.

Thanks for the link, I had no idea that it had a name. The folks on the site that starts with 4 and ends with chan have done some funny parodies of it.

You know, it takes some real work to do a Fitzpatrick and Van Kaufman ad. There's a kind of artistic malaise in the modern era.

Admittedly, you see that kind of look in vintage travel and airline posters.
