So, if you have 1 B, you stop.

The policy even assumed some amount of semi-bad faith behavior, the thinking was their return policy was also a bit of a charity program for the needy and destitute[1] (a Costco member lost their job and so returns a bunch of items for cash, etc). What they didn’t anticipate was the sheer number of people who began acting in bad faith (and the deflationary nature of electronics making it especially tempting), it was too much to bear.

It’s a shame the policy is gone. There was really no peace of mind quite like it, knowing that if your device failed after years of use, but still due to a defect, you had recourse. And for poor people, it was a godsend of a program especially (and not because it could be abused, but simply Costco providing a service that anything you buy will work as advertised)

Good video, and you have a fair point. Thanks for sharing. I guess my real issue with the OP's language is that "bigotry" is a pretty charged term that necessarily crosses into a "who they are" conversation.
This is going to sound really weird, but I was able to create a decent trackpad signature once I got into the right mental state.

I held my pointer finger between my thumb and middle finger, and made myself really think of it as a pencil. I looked down at the trackpad as I wrote (rather than at the screen), and tried to visualize the trail it would leave on the surface.

I've had a Line 6 Guitar Port for about 20 years. It was $99, and emulates amps, cabinets, pedals, console channels, rack effects, etc., admittedly offloading the work into a computer that (at the time) cost about a grand.

Are they perfect emulations? No. Did anyone notice that in my music? No. Would I take that rig on stage? Also no.

It did help me find sounds I liked though, and over the years I've bought hardware equivalents of some of my favorite emulations, and I've bought hardware that goes beyond anything Line 6 can do.

As to whether Line 6 is cool or not, NIN/Trent Reznor toured with Line 6 rigs to sold out arenas 20 years ago, and today the live rigs are managed by the FOH using software emulations that can be automated or managed from on-stage controllers. Maybe you don't think that's cool, but the important takeaway is that you should use the tool that's right for you.

I think it's good to see people tinkering with new ways to reduce the cost around modulating audio signals in interesting ways.
Nowadays it would be "share on insta"

But it's still interesting how they initially were late on mobile, with all the FBML embedded things (Zynga games) not working on mobile and things moving from their "platform" to mobile apps, but I assume for now with WhatsApp, Insta and messenger they "own" a notable amount of mobile screen time. Missing the underlying platform of course gives them "neutrality" that they can be on all OSes (till the privacy enforcements make it harder for them) instead of having to differentiate the Facebook phone from iPhone.
Seems almost like their main complaint is the lack of stealth or professionalism this surveillance in the police’s execution, an odd complaint. With enemies like these...

If you are doing analysis and exploration, or creating offline reports, QGIS is worth learning. It can connect to and query a PostGIS backend directly, and doesn't need to do any sort of intermediate translation and storage that I've seen other packages require.

There will always be leaders branching off with their own tribes. No doubt you've experienced that in microcosms.

At first, giving up tribalism is just the formation of another tribe. Then there become multiple tribes that exist to define what it means to truly give up tribalism and so forth.
The probabilistic failure analysis (as practiced in LRFD) is essentially a pencil sharpening exercise where the margins can be reduced a bit. For example, some loads are better known than others (e.g., dead load vs live load), some materials have better QC or a more uniform quality than others (think concrete vs steel).

The end result is generally in the ballpark of the old factor of safety, but might be up to 10% less in some cases.
It’s cpu/memory overhead yes, but between matching prod and dev, extremely simple config (redis is always located at “redis:6379”), zero setup instructions (skaffold dev), remote/local hybrid development, and fostering prod-ready skills for developers (still working on that devops koolaid), I find it -extremely- worthwhile. I’ve yet to meet someone who doesn’t hate it to start (because kubernetes) and winds up loving it and swearing by it.

Russia has too much delicious raw materials - oil, gas and minerals. Now, for a country that does not export anything the world economy requires, it is simple to close it off, like Cuba. If Cuba produced oil and minerals it would not be so isolated. Nobody wants to stop trading with Russia.

So there is the global economic game, and then there is the global political game. All we ever talk about in media is the political game since it's easy to digest in sound bites, but the economics are running the real decision process as much as the politics.

It's really confusing to have one of my comments on -2 points and another on +8 in the same discussion.

BTW, I think their statement/claim

is correct, it's just to scary for me to put client credentials there at all when it isn't trivially east to prove that they aren't uploaded.
Sure, but they aren't using a blockchain themselves, they're simply letting their clients settle some transactions on the ethereum blockchain. It's not really an example of a business using blockchain technology to its advantage. If they had deployed a blockchain and used that to process transactions, that would be more convincing, but so far I don't think they've done that.
There are lots of places where we require that no single person can break the system at least in a certain way.

For example code review and LGTM ensures that a single individual can't just break the system by pushing bad code.

Often there are other control planes that don't have the same requirement, but I think the idea that there must always be one person who can break the system isn't clearly true.
why couldn't you ? the code would just be

Yeah, Microsoft had an exceptional OS that was competitive to iOS (and much better than Android) on its foundations and APIs. It had everything needed to succeed and get a big chunk of the market, except for a clear leadership.

Now, here we are, with extremely powerful Android phones that do little because they don't have a solid software foundation with which to build good software, an iOS has all the high-quality software.

This story is amazing. The story of US war games seems to commonly be "Yeah the Read Team won but..." and no changes are made. Maybe those are just the stories I hear.

It's also interesting to consider if the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor would have happened if it weren't for our own dress rehearsals we carried out in front of the Japanese. Maybe war games are a bad idea when they're too big to keep secret and you're too politicized to integrate the lessons. Admiral Yamamoto didn't have to worry about upsetting US Navy top brass. He was able to benefit from our lessons, even if we weren't.

Follow the money - Apple's "privacy" initiative is just about Apple ensuring that every dollar spent in an iOS device sends 30 cents to Apple. That isn't the case with ads not served by Apple. So Apple is making themselves the only viable way to serve ads on iOS (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205223) and encouraging in-app purchases for everything else - problem solved.

Also, isn't it convenient that Apple is only concerned about their customer's privacy for business conducted outside of China and Russia?

The main advantage with UUIDs (and why I now use them widely everywhere) is with relations, foreign keys, multi-region setups, replication, backups, and the ease of restoring those backups.

With sequential IDs, the database state is pretty rigid and cannot easily be restored while still in continuous use, because you can relatively easily run into primary key collisions/violations that can make it incredibly difficult to backup and restore data without taking the whole database offline for writes. Things like scaling out to multi-region and sharding also can get pretty quickly problematic - you end up with duplicate IDs that makes it impossible to easily move data between regions - unless you use a centralized unique ID service (see Twitter's Snowflake for an example). UUIDs just avoids this issue entirely and you can move data around with ease.

With UUIDs, things like being able to grab some test data from production, scrub it, insert it into your local database, test with it, and then update it back to staging or production uses trivial normal insert/update operations.

With sequential IDs, this task becomes a nightmare of ID collisions and manually altering foreign keys if you do run into duplicate IDs.

If anything really does need to be exposed to end users, I typically use another unique string field like username, post slug, etc. rather than directly exposing the UUID to search engine traffic, while still using UUIDs internally everywhere within my database.
Or, shove it on a cross-country 18-wheeler. Let them chase it down.
I know that individuals think this way, I'm just not convinced any society will ever get there.
Arguably, that is what we've seen happening throughout history - keeping the conceptual intuitive tribalism but significantly extending what the "tribe" means.

The basics of tribalism comes either from isolated tribes (generally under Dunbar's number) for hunter-gatherers or, later with agriculture, extended family units/clans - where you have both close blood relations and know each other.

Then we see city-states and various unions of many tribes (e.g. for nomadic steppe peoples) forming a much larger shared identity that is using the same behavior and loyalty principles, but you're much more distantly related and can't know everyone anymore.

And this starts a trend of the "larger tribe" intervening in the "smaller tribes" to prevent conflict with them and have individuals of different "subtribes" interact between tribes with a shared goal instead of defending the tribal identity; they start punishing raids and violence between the "subtribes", and form a larger shared identity based on culture, religion, etc.

Fast forward a few centuries and we see the great "religious tribes" unifying many decentralized rulers; and then we see the age of nationalism in 1800s which in many cases unified many smaller states with aggressive unification of their identities and elimination of dialects so that the "tribe that includes everyone" is stronger, but despite the suppression of "smaller tribes" IMHO it's quite clear that the peak nationalism was also very much a peak of tribalism attitudes.

In that regard, humanism is essentially nothing else than treating all humans as a single tribe, and it is an extension of the same trend and practice; we know that dissolving the smaller tribes in order the larger tribe stronger works and is possible as we have done that before; though, often the unification was facilitated and driven by external threats.

Although one thing that is true of the movies that is lampooned in the spy parody show "Archer", is that Bond doesn't seem to understand how to be a secret agent.

And they certainly shouldn't go around introducing themselves using their real names!
> By saying this I've pretty much killed my cred for anyone reading this in the US right now.

Because you're saying that we need to unite and expel the "negative," but you're either suggesting that we don't use any criteria for that, or you're using a special definition of "religion and politics" that doesn't encompass all forms of human organization and ranges of perceptions of our environment.

I suppose this is just another suggestion that we use rational, objective criteria, like the ones the person making the suggestion uses (when they're at their self-assessed best.) Once we're using those criteria, uniting to eradicate the "other" is fully rationalized, er, rational.

> are you arguing the Wikipedia should hire cheaper developers because they are a non-profit?

> You are disparaging a CEO for making 350k/year for one of the highest trafficked sites in the world

The root of the question is: what determines compensation at companies? FAANG and SV startups are able to offer huge salaries not because they are "the highest trafficked sites in the world". It's because they rake in billions of dollars in revenue, by monetizing their users, and/or because they are VC-funded. If that wasn't the case, their employees' -- and certainly their executives' -- salaries would not be this high.

When your company makes billions of dollars a year, and you can make the case to your board that you can increase or maintain that number, that's when your salary becomes high -- when the tradeoff to shareholder value between paying you a lot of money and the company making a lot of money tips your way. You don't just automatically get a high salary for running (or working in) a large company, if that company does not make this much money.

The WMF is a nonprofit. It does not make any money aside from donations. When running its donation campaigns, it does so from the perspective of keeping internet knowledge alive, rather than saying "we think it's important to keep ourselves in the top 10% worldwide salary bracket". It's absoluetly fair to say that they need to raise a certain amount of money in order to keep the foundation going, and in order to maintain and develop it. But saying that it's "insane" to argue that a nonprofit should not be able to compete against a multi-billion dollar organization salary-wise is... strange?

Most of the world's companies, startups or otherwise, in fact can't afford SV salaries, and so they look elsewhere -- there are many, many great developers, executives, and other folks around the world (and in the US, outside of SV) who work for less than FAANG salaries. This doesn't meant they aren't well-compensated, it just means that maybe they don't live in SV, and that yes, it's possible that FAANG will poach some of them. That's just something you have to live with when you don't make infinite amounts of money, like 99% of the world's companies.

> For perspective, Zuckerberg's net worth places him at an effective salary of 3B/year ...

For perspective, Facebook's revenue was about $85B last year. Using the world's fifth-richest person, who heads a fortune 150 company that is the F in the only five-lettered FAANG acronym that's frequently used as the barometer for high salaries, "for perspective", is also strange. The only perspective that Zuckerberg's salary offers is "what does the top 0.1% of the top 0.1% make?"

> it's your kind of attitude (why should a burger flipper get paid $15/hr) that is actually suppressing wages in this country

It's disingenuous at best to connect a nonprofit's executive staff making large salaries with raising the minimum wage. In fact, that's precisely the discrepancy that is making folks talk about the salaries at WMF: the foundation is soliciting donations from the folks making $15/h in order to pay its CEO $300k+ a year.
There are far more board games with simple rules and mechanics than ever before in history. You can build a collection of 100 games that can all be explained in 10 minutes and where a first time player can compete with people who have played 20 times.
