I've found that one way to think about receiving difficult or challenging feedback is that people don't bother giving feedback to those they don't care about or don't have to work with again. It takes thought and emotional investment for someone to go to the trouble of giving such feedback.

Of course, that only holds true in certain work environments where you have choices and consequences, and the person giving the feedback also has this mentality...

Alright. Maybe I just have a hard time seeing past the product, or the marketing is too obtuse for me.

Car ads for example are a complete blur in my head. The only thing that I distinctly remember is when everyone had ads with their cars driving in shallow sea water, which I found absurd. Do they still do that?

I certainly do feel pinned down in life, but I also don't remember seeing ads that offer a concrete solution (and I'm not even convinced its solvable). I don't think I need to be sold the dream to be free, because that is already something I desire very much. I just see products. Ones that will not fulfill that dream.

In isolation yes it can cause a very small increase in cancer. But it also has other upsides such as reduced cardiovascular issues.

Therefore you need to take net not individual health impacts, which is more complicated. Remember the scale 55% of adult Americans drink at least monthly and those cancers are still rare and also associated with soda consumption etc.

Uber might be very sophisticated in its tax avoidance, but it's probably not a good example for research... inasmuch as the research has a policy focus.

Uber lose money. Corporate income tax is paid on profit.

These article frustrate me: "In 2019, Uber claimed $4.5 billion in global operating losses (excluding the US and China) for tax purposes — in reality, it brought in $5.8 billion in operating revenue."

Unless I'm missing something, these aren't contradictory. Uber really does lose money. That doesn't mean that there's nothing more to say, but it doesn't imply what the article article seems to think it does.

A business publication should have basic accounting literacy. This feels like a collection of other people's tweets, with more information lost than added. I suspect the author has not even read his own sources, beyond headlines.

Corporate taxes are paid on profit, not revenue.

As a consolation for those begrudging their tax accounting scheme, operating Cashflow is still negative, meaning they are bleeding cash. How would you turn a profit while losing money from operations?

If that does not improve, Uber in the end may not be a viable business.

Very satisfied with elixir and the ecosystem is growing! There are some performance concerns if you're doing a large amount of list or string manipulations but these are somewhat special cases and I tend to reach out to a Rust NIF to handle them which resolves the problem.
From what we understood (back when we shopped for a lib, which was a long time ago), absinthe advertised itself a lib to write graphql servers ; we were looking for a graphql client,so we ended up using a smaller lib.

(And it's entirely possible that we simply picked the wrong lib ! Which is, still, kinda my point. Every elixir lib is "young" by virtue of the language being "young", so you can't use "age" as a heuristic for being the "right" lib. Happens for all"young" ecosystem,so not particular to ex.)

I love these retro graphics card projects. This one is especially cool because it can do multiple standards on one card. Of course with an FPGA it is a bit hardware heavy.
On the other extreme there are projects that provide VGA output with no special hardware at all - just using timers and GPIO pins.

Linus Akesson's bit-banger comes to mind, which does so with an Atmel ATtiny15. This microcontroller is - well - tiny, about so tiny:

Bit banger is built around an ATtiny15 microcontroller, which runs at 1.6 MHz and has 1 kB of flash ROM and a claustrophobic 32 bytes of RAM. In fact, those 32 bytes are the CPU registers. Only the most basic AVR instructions are supported; they occupy at least two bytes each, and can obviously not be compressed since they are executing from ROM, so a maximum of 512 instructions will fit inside the chip (fewer if static data is needed). [1]

Another cool project I came about recently, but haven't had time to try out, is bit banging VGA Framebuffer written in Rust. [2]

[1] https://www.linusakesson.net/scene/bitbanger/index.php

[2] https://github.com/thejpster/vga-framebuffer-rs

P.S. To give a bit historic context. I remember having an electronics book with a pattern generator made with only a PIC. Must have been the late 90s, so bit banging graphics is definitely not a recent development but it is still incredible to be able to generate these signals fast enough without special hardware and only in software.

EDIT: Thinking about it, I'm not sure anymore if the PIC project was VGA or PAL and I couldn't find the book quickly.

Look at the venn diagram between the first 50% and people who blow like grass in the political winds.

Unfortunately I will be surprised if a great many of the "reform the police" advocates stick around after it becomes apparent that "reducing police power" likely means some amount of "reducing the number of criminal infractions", "reducing staffing/resource allocations" and "reducing police's ability to screw people at their discretion" and that will greatly reduce their ability to call the cops and get a response to minor nuisance behavior. Unfortunately people really like using state violence as a cudgel against whatever they don't like.

I've been bitching about the cops for decades. Things have changed a lot since BLM came onto the scene and getting cops/government to generally treat people fairly and with dignity/respect after interactions have started (which seems to be the avenue where most progress is being made) would be a massive win but I see a lot of pitfalls that need to be avoided on the way there.
TypeScript / AWS / Auth0.

We ingest a lot of data. We deployed Lambda for queuing, which has helped immensely, but this has caused a lot of other issues elsewhere in the app (something, something schema?)

To create the application we need with Bubble, we absolutely depend on 3rd party integrations, which will require code.

- Stripe

- SendGrid

- Drift / Intercom

Our expectation isn't that there is no-code, it's that there is low-code, and many Bubble dev agencies are actual devs, too.

We will see if Bubble is extendable past $1m ARR or whether we need to re-build the platform.

My company is moving away from it. We built a few services but after a few years some of the original people that introduced it left the company and it became very difficult to hire for. New hires were either people wanting to learn (so we had to spend a good bunch of resources into teaching + end up with a system built by noobs to the language) or very expensive developers with a lot of experience in erlang and elixir.

We also found many times missing libraries, or found libraries which are incomplete, or unmaintained or just not well documented. Just compare the total amount of libraries in Hex, vs the total amount of libraries in rubygems. Somebody will say "but Elixir libraries are higher quality so we need less, etc,etc" as if there were not good developers in the ruby world and every elixir developer were a rockstar.

Tooling is just terrible. The VSCode plugin is crap, kills the CPU unless you disable features. There is no IDE from jetbrains. There is a plugin but last time I tried it, it was even worse than the VSCode plugin.

Also, I've read some comments where people mention "we don't need redis", "we don't need workers" everything is so much easier. That was our thinking at first. But then you realize on deployments you will lose your cache, or your background jobs, etc. So you have to persist them either in mnesia or in the database. At that point you're just reinventing your crappy undocumented and untested version of delayed_job.

Most of what you get from elixir in terms of redundancy, high availability, etc you can have that anyway from kubernetes, heroku or any PaaS.... you will need more than 1 server anyway, so...

I have never seen a more stupid straw-man argument. Where did I say "don't even try"?

Energy generation is a huge industry. Emphasis on industry. And no wishful thinking from some climate-justice-hardliners will change that. There are literally the lives of billions of human beings depending on the availability of useful energy. Engineering and hard science has brought us to the point of cheap, renewable energy. Now we have to build up that capacity, but that takes time.

Your statement reads like a Maoist decree, putting ideological wants over practical realities. You read like you wish for hard, radical measures (that, of course, will only hurt the "class enemy") while you cannot be bothered with the details of how a solar panel or a wind turbine even works, let alone how it is produced and installed at scale.

So let me put that straight for you: It is not entirely up to humans to decide how long decarbonization takes. This is NOT some capitalist conspiracy. Building factories takes time and there is a limit of how many PV factories and offshore wind plants we can build today. Especially, when you want to do it in some environmentally friendly manner. We can of course accelerate the buildup for the next decade, and I would bet money on the fact that we already do exactly that.

As a French entrepreneur, I was advised several times to move my HQ to the Netherlands because of the extremely low taxes on intellectual property.
The HQ can invoice european subsidies/entities for the usage of the brand as well as the IP of internal software or patents. You calibrate this so that European subsidies makes little to no profit, so you don’t pay any local tax. Then, what amounts essentially to the profit of all your European subsidies is brought back to your NL headquarters under “revenue from intellectual property” on which you pay ~ no tax (I’ve been told around 5%).
I’m not an expert in taxes and I have not looked into this in details so this may all be wrong, but it’s advice we got from top 10 EU lawyer firms.

Stop believing the lies politicians tell you?

The best thing for the middle and working class would be broad-based tax cuts, and yet the political narrative in most developed countries continues to be unabashed "hose the rich" tripe that in every case results in a larger burden on working and middle class families, often indirectly through a higher cost of living.

It's rational for large companies to spend basically up to the amount they would lose to taxes to legally avoid them. No individual can marshal those kinds of resources.

The better solution than continuously trying to find more and more ways to tax everything is to simply lower taxes, thus reducing the incentive to avoid them.

I even see this as a moral imperative, since top marginal personal income tax rates > 50% (not even accounting for sales tax, property tax, payroll tax, etc.) in many developed countries are tantamount to theft in my view.

> No they're usually used by basically all companies that aren't tiny.

Ummm... that's what I said. That's my point. It's become normalized for corporations to not take responsibility. The working class always ends up paying the price here. Collectively we in the working class now expect corporations to treat us badly and that we have to accept this abusive behavior. In the context of more and more of the working class now starting to work in "non-jobs" in the gig economy, this current trajectory is becoming a bigger and bigger nightmare for the working class all over the world (see Nomadland, Sorry to Bother You, The True Cost, Blood in the Mobile, Push (Fredrik Gertten)).

I argue that, along with banking and other rentierist institutions [1], tech corporations are a parasite on society because they monopolize and destroy our shared inheritance, and try to pretend they are immune to regulation because they see themselves as lone geniuses [2].

"By virtue of their position as digital middlemen, Silicon Valley companies are able to extract vast amounts of capital from all over the world. The most salient example is Apple: recently crowned the world’s most valuable company, Apple rakes in enormous quarterly profits even as the Chinese workers who actually assemble its products are driven to suicide.

Whereas we were once led to believe that the network society would produce an egalitarian world, we increasingly see tech as a machine for the commodification of information itself. Something that has the potential to be abundant is made artificially scarce, because capital finds it profitable to enclose the digital commons and dictate its terms of access. Facebook wants a monopoly over your social network so it can show you ads; Google is the internet’s directory; Netflix, Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Music are your tollbooths for cultural production; Amazon is the gateway for your retail needs. These corporations serve social functions integral to modern life, in ways similar to industries that were nationalised in the past — and yet, not only are they not publicly owned, they are immune to any sort of democratic control."

If Uber lost 4.5 billion, that also means they spent at least that much money. That's a lot of people who were able to sell good and services. That's actually a good thing. And while spending this money, Uber provided a useful service.

Besides the journalist apparently not understanding how taxation works, the phrasing is used to make the situation sound nefarious without providing any evidence. 50 shell companies? Ok...?

Naturally. The thing here is that renewable energy can be very cheap. So we might see a stark increase in energy usage in the next decades fueled entirely by abundant renewable energy. The question then is whether this will accelerate the overall switch to renewables or not. It could be that oil and gas will become much cheaper due to price pressure or much more expensive because their infrastructure doesn't pay off anymore.

No, that means that they are either stable for long distance interstellar travel, or they are created in the high-temperature high-pressure environment that is created when the rock is aerocaptured by and impacted into the planet.

I think it is no suprise that similar materials are found around nuclear detonation sites and extraterrestrial impact craters: the energy release is on a similar large scale and similarly instantanious.
> he would also say it's the first past the post system that has caused so much alienation from the political process

I think I'd agree with this analysis. I live in Ireland, where we have PRSTV (for somewhat hilarious historical reasons while we were under British rule—a Unionist minority wanting better representation in local politics[0]), and while our representative democracy is still riddled with problems and voter alienation, I still think those are multifaceted and have various other complex causes; PRSTV itself is pretty decent as far as representative systems go.
