I think that the startup culture and everyone wanting to be a tech billionaire kind of changed the amount of midlevel companies. Most of them get acquired by the big ones at one point - or aren't able to compete with them technologically. Everything gets absorbed into blobs of enterprises that do not give a single damn about the individual customer.

The ironic thing here is that this goal, being absorbed by corporates, is what startup exits are about.

And honestly, I don't understand it. I want to build something that matters. Morally and ethically, not financially.

I want to build a legacy, not some zuck or bezos weekend shopping item.
>Google and Facebook's other work is interesting in the same way that Bell Labs was interesting -- great for a few, but funded by taxing everyone

I feel like this sentiment doesn't go far enough. "Oh we would break up the monopoly if not for the innovation". Bell Labs innovated far more than FAANGs. It actually produced R&D that benefitted everyone. Big tech is far past the point of Bell Labs.

I explain that if the an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is a datacenter "cloud", then a container implementation is a "puff".

Virtualizing the kernel like the Amazon Machine Image (AMI) virtualizes a chip core sounds great. But now, in the "puff", all of those networking details that AWS keeps below the hypervizor line confront us. Storage, load balancing, name services, firewalls. . .

Containers can solve packaging issues, but wind up only relocating a vast swath of other problems.

If you have the ability to achieve then you will flourish in America - it’s why smart people flock to it from all over. And it’s true what you say - health care is better, food is better, life is better if you’re doing well.

Open source has become a marketing / sales strategy. Start out with something that is free, brought into a company by their own engineers. Then when the company starts to adopt it broadly, they charge for Enterprise level support and features. And it works.

From an investor perspective, it's great to see a strong top end funnel, prior to investing. With open core products, that's pretty straight forward.

There customer / product development is present through feature requests and, if popular enough, you get some free work. In practice, that might be a big driver upfront, but isn't a huge motivator as it grows. Additionally, open-source devs are a great and passionate early adopter group. So, all in all, tons of upside to going the open-core route.

However, the open source community isn't dumb and there are signs that, en masse, they are tired of getting used.
Hmm so 1) the corporate tax rate and other tax benefits in many EU countries is much lower than the US (I imagine you must have heard of US companies using their European operations to dodge us taxes)

2) The quality of labor you can hire is generally higher in europe (for example its common knowledge that facebook london has better engineers)

I think what the us has is access to venture capital which i agree is difficult in europe.
Yeah, that is fun!

> Whether that's actually true or not, I don't actually know, but it's still widely believed and influencing men's behavior/plans all the same.

On average I think it's probably not true. Most men probably stay married, and most divorces probably aren't ruinous. I say "most", but I don't mean a comfortable majority. The ruinous divorces happen a lot. I've seen it destroy more men I know/knew than alcohol or any drug. Even if it only happens one in six times, that's Russian Roulette odds. Those are bad odds.
For the Nth time, that was a *phishing attack*. Apple cannot be held responsible either for selling that data by design, nor for insufficient data security. Their systems were not compromised.

None of the proposed bills are that severe. Most of the behaviors in Bill 1 are already illegal under current law. The FTC has been out to lunch on enforcement for years.

Bill 2 is broader, but not well defined.

Bill 3 is about data portability, a feature nobody actually uses even when available, as it is in Europe.

Bill 4 is about getting the FTC and DOJ enough money to do their jobs. These jobs are hard because Congress hasn't enacted a "bright line" standard that can be easily enforced. Amy Klobuchar, in her book, "Antitrust", suggests defining 30% market share as the point beyond which antitrust enforcement should start. None of these bills go that far.

Bill 5 is about stopping mergers which increase tying. But they're not about really stopping tying.

None of these do any of the following:

- Force Google to pick one business and split off all the others. They could keep search with ads, but would have to sell off third party ads, YouTube, and the data center business.

- Force Amazon to take on all the responsibilities of a seller for all merchandise on their platform.

- Force Facebook to sell off Instagram.

Also, none of these bills address AT&T or Comcast, which have real monopolies, not just market dominance.

This set of bills is thus mostly PR, not real change.

I’ve been following Kenji for a very long time. One thing I like is on the subject of adaptations. I have made his beef stew a few times, it’s quite involved. But I love how the recipe on the site adapts over time to take into account how people in the comments find different ingredients and tooling. For example, his original recipe works great on his super nice restaurant quality oven, but not as much on your regular persons oven. He adapted the recipe for the audience to take this into account, which I absolutely loved.
the point he's probably trying to convey is that lifestyle is subsidized by the rest who aren't and wouldn't be possible otherwise.

Europe is stagnating for the same reason the US is: the rise of social democracy.

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/social-spending-oecd-long...

There is a strong negative correlation between the size of government, as a percentage of GDP, and the rate of economic growth:

https://web.archive.org/web/20170821004405/http://ime.bg/upl...

The data shows that the Scandinavian region, which is the poster child for social democracy, has suffered for it, in being surpassed by low-tax Hong Kong and Singapore in life expectancy, despite the latter coming from a position way behind them in the 1960s, and this is a result of the Scandinavian region's stagnation versus less social democratic economies:

http://iea.org.uk/sites/default/files/publications/files/San...

• Scandinavia is often cited as having high life expectancy and good health outcomes in areas such as infant mortality. Again, this predates the expansion of the welfare state. In 1960, Norway had the highest life expectancy in the OECD, followed by Sweden, Iceland and Denmark in third, fourth and fifth positions. By 2005, the gap in life expectancy between Scandinavian countries and both the UK and the US had shrunk considerably. Iceland, with a moderately sized welfare sector, has over time outpaced the four major Scandinavian countries in terms of life expectancy and infant mortality.

• Scandinavia’s more equal societies also developed well before the welfare states expanded. Income inequality reduced dramatically during the last three decades of the 19th century and during the first half of the 20th century. Indeed, most of the shift towards greater equality happened before the introduction of a large public sector and high taxes.
For a lot of people, the reward is money. Not legacy. Not vision. Money. Uber was built for money. Facebook was built for money.

The reason buy-outs are more common is because the tech giants have gotten large enough to offer so god damn much money that very few people have enough non-monetary drive to continue the risk. Incentives affect actions in a dose dependent manner.

I think we’re talking past each other. In my reading of the original article, the author needed to get consensus from various individuals in the organization who were by definition not stakeholders. They had little to no stake in the project or its goals and could therefore block the project with no personal risk.

I could be misreading the article, though.

I agree that it is detrimental to trust to lie about the project roadmap to stakeholders.

True tone, iirc, is a simple color temperature adjustment of the screen. I wonder what happens if you enable Night Shift manually and set it to how it looks with true tone on, and see if it triggers the same problem. You can try the same experiment with your computer. Perhaps it is that color scheme that is causing you the issues.

Apple iDevices have a feature called Color Filters in Accessibility settings, which allows you to manually change the color tint of the screen. It may be of interest to you to see if a light tint helps the screen be more suitable for you.

> "Rapid urbanization, agricultural intensification, overexploitation, and habitat loss of large wildlife all promote the abundance of small mammals, such as rodents," the laureates said, echoing the recent warnings of experts including Jane Goodall.

I am from India and for the first 8-10 years of my post-college life I drank all the "glory" reporting of the American style of doing business. I tried doing it myself.

I fell apart, suffered silently for years. Moved to Germany, went through counseling at the end of that period. Learnt that life is a lot more than silly startup games. No matter what anyone tells me, I have seen it myself first hand - I want a happier life, not a fatter paycheck.

The average multi-million $ enterprise company creates CRUD apps and sell them like they are saving humanity. It is just sales all the way down.

I came back to India and started thinking of my life in 10, 20, 30 year terms. I live in a village in the Himalayas and even though I still struggle as I get influenced by the media, I take steps back, look at the gorgeous mountains in front of me and smile.

I am happy, happier than I even have been. I focus on what matters to me - empowering people, open source software, and building a sustainable business. I am never doing the crazy startup life again. Period.
My question was more about just how many TBs and ingress/egress was making AWS S3 cost prohibitive -- Wasabi's sticker price is $5.99/month (so 6x glacier but ~0.2x regular S3), and I know that Hetzner will give you a storage box that is 1TB for 9.40EUR (but the kicker there is that 10TB of traffic is included which is amazing), and there are no API/operation fees when you run your own Minio (or just use FTP/all the other built-in access methods).

Network is one thing but what am I missing here? Maybe I just think $10/month is reasonable for 1TB (because I don't have enough TBs? or use remote storage enough?), and that's different from most people who are interested in this.
1) my point was specifically if you search for a phrase that would have been used one 1 side of an argument you often get the other side if its a politically contentious issue. E.g. why would a blog that is pro gender identity related stuff contain the phrase "I dont care about gender identity"

2) so I am clearly of a more conservative bent, yet google frequently gives articles which are hostile to conservative views. So if its doing this its doing a terrible job.

3) agreed. And that is, imo, problematic. Or at least really fucking obnoxious and kneecaps the utility of google.

People in China might not think allowing Hong Kong or Tibet to secede is important.

We can't start with those things that the majority of public opinion is in support of to make the world free. It is precisely forms of repression that the majority of public opinion supports that are the most sticky.

And by engaging in introspection, and seeing what kinds of repression we have rationalized and normalized in the West, we can create and test strategies to find ones that are effective at convincing people to stop being complacent in the face of popularly supported repression.

> Imagine if you time traveled back to that time and asked random people in the fertile crescent, who or what do you worship? They technically couldn't answer that because their beliefs told them not to say that word

The tradition of not pronouncing the name YHWH is specific to rabbinic judaism and was not a feature of either temple judaism as practiced in the era of King David nor religions in the fertile crescent.

Rather the opposite, as names of Gods were loudly and proudly proclaimed. We know this because of poems (which were sung outloud) composed that contain names of gods in such a way as proper pronounciaton is required for the songs to have the right rhythm and meter. (This is also how modern scholars believe the correct pronounciation is "Yahweh", e.g. that the vav was a "w" sound and the yod was a "y" sound.) In fact the very idea of a name that could be written but not spoken presupposes a tradition of reading and writing texts -- something practiced by Masoretes and Pharisees -- rather than a service consisting of songs and spoken ceremonies as performed in actual temples.

It is a question as to which extra-levitical sects initially began this tradition of omitting the name in spoken pronunciation sometime during the second temple period, as it was most likely related to them not being priests and thus not considering themselves worthy to say the name, but when the priestly service ended and the temple was destroyed, guardianship of law passed to rabbinical groups focused on working with texts, and then no one was considered worthy to say the name and thus it became a general prohibition even though the royal singers singing the psalms loudly sang "Yahweh" in almost every song in daily service.

But this practice of omitting the name was not shared by other semitic groups in the region, nor is it present in Arabic cultures. So let's not backpropagate that relatively modern scholarly tradition to religious practices in the fertile crescent during the dawn of civilization.
Cost will drastically fall.

Right now colleges can charge whatever they want and students will happy sign up not comprehending they have to pay back loans. It’s a complete gravy train.

No one in their right mind will give a loan to a student that isn’t going for a high income degree. Doctor/engineer Etc. Even these will be harder to get.

So colleges won’t be able to charge 50k a semester since few can afford that.
