> the central issue of scalability is "canonical state"

Exactly. I've written a reasonable amount of Erlang, and yeah, from a purely technical perspective you'd be much better off handling concurrent requests with something actor based than async-du-jour dumpster fire (python is particularly bad). But the real difficulty ultimately is managing canonical persistent state, and actors won't magically solve that for you.

Having said this, empirically speaking, almost none of the companies who believe they have scalability problems actually do and a relational DB combined with a not super inefficient architecture are all that's needed.

Thats what branding is for. A company puts their name and logo on it, and then also sets the quality standards.

Cheap brands might have lower standards than premium brands. The company makes sure the stores uphold the quality standards, and stop selling through stores that hurt their brand.

This. You can see the impact of this on the new iOS tracking permissions. Most people want to opt out, but can't. Regulators stepping in would spell the end of large sections of the online advertising industry, so I doubt it'll happen.
The thing with ideas like this is that it'll all boil down to one thing: opt-in or opt-out.

If it's opt-in, hidden inside browsers settings, effectively no-one will use it (e.g. current cookie blocking settings).

If it's opt-out everyone will use it (see e.g. Apple's recent "This app is asking to track you across the internet, do you want to allow it?".

Question is, why make it complicated with a spec like this. Better to just agree to block all cookies, or to allow cookies.

The model skips an important part of the reasoning - some people might deserve to be paid more because they're more valuable (due to being more productive or whatever the equivalent is in a given industry). Pay transparency means that if you want to pay someone more they have to be able to justify it. In a well managed company you need to have some form of employee assessment system to judge how well they're doing. This is already true so that good people get rewarded, but becomes even more important with transparent pay because you have to be able to point to it and say this is why that person gets 50% more than you. You have to be able to have real conversations like "they brought on 2 new clients and delivered all their projects on time, whereas your last project was on budget but two weeks late". Being good and useful (and comparing salaries at other companies) provides the employee upward leverage on price (the inverse version of my role play above).

That said - I don't disagree with the conclusions of the paper (showing correlation between pay transparency and reduced pay), but I don't think it's an important conclusion. Pay is a frequency distribution. Talking about the mean/median of that distribution is less important than making there there are good reasons for the people at either ends of it (e.g. "I'm at the lower end because I'm female). To put it another way - I'm more worried about inequality than overall pay level because the people in the middle are fine, it's people at the bottom who need help.

The thing about this new spec is that it's compatible with the GDPR in a way that could make adopting this a legal requirement, given enough lobbying effort. It'd be a long battle, but I could foresee a future where regulators require adtech to implement this spec to obtain consent.

That won't stop them from additionally using cookie banners, out of spite. But I suspect many websites that currently have cookie banners only have them because they believe it to be necessary, and it's hard to push back on it. If such a spec came to be recognized as a way to obtain consent by regulation, it'd make it easy to point its way, and at least end the madness of cookie banners on websites that don't need it.
Yeah, but the backwards compatibility is a pain. There's so much housing stock that can't just be torn down and rebuilt. We will probably move to that but considering how slow housing changes move, it will take a century.

There is a very simple reason why crypto aren't going anywhere -- wealth generation.

For a lot of people in many parts of the world the (still) unregulated nature of crypto is the only way to generate wealth.

How does one get wealthy? I'm not talking about paying my bills for the next X years until I die. I'm talking about starting with no money in your bank account as a young person and building your way to a decent amount of money by certain age, let's say 35.

Work won't get you there. If you live in a good place and have a good job then you can have a comfortable life. But good luck building wealth when taxes are 40-50% and rent is 30% of your salary.

Business? If you're lucky, maybe. It's hard. Few will make it. Barriers to entry are large in many places. Paperwork, company taxes, accountants, etc. You'll be trading all your free time and sanity for a chance to succeed.

Crypto! Yes, right now it's an online casino of sorts. But many companies are building sophisticated financial services on top of it.

Take Binance and BNB for instance. BNB is designed to appreciate if Binance is doing well. It pays dividends. It's an interesting instrument! Binance is a real company that makes real money which says "we made this thing and if we will do well then so will you".

Young people will find something in the new and weird online economy.

When I was a teen I used to sign up with multiple emails for beta keys for online MMO games, and then sell those keys. I made some money that was very useful when I went to University. Without that I simply wouldn't be able to make any money back then.

Crypto is a little bit like that right now except the demographic involved is different.

> I'm surprised psychiatrists don't have dartboards in their office to decide on what to use.

Who's ever had to deal with your run-of-the-mill psychiatrist knows this is true. They guess dosages, a dash of lexapro, a smidgeon of zyprexa, a pinch of xanax and let's see if the desired effects are there. Oh and remember that there's been no conclusive evidence about any permanent side effects like sexual dysfunction and penile atrophy /s.

My father's psychiatrist even did a reset protocol, where she cut all medication for a few days and started over with new meds, she just didn't have a clue at what was happening.
I don’t. I’m Danish and almost everyone here has some kind of higher education, so our hiring practices are a little different from other countries.

Anyway, there is no reason to spend the time looking at what people have done on GitHub. Once you make the final five or ten candidates, we could honestly use sheer chance to decide and end up just fine. The only reason we don’t do that, is because it would be disrespectful to the applicants, but the interviews are as much an opportunity for them to figure out if they want to work with us once they’ve met us, as it is for us to do the same.

Hiring people once you move past a certain skill level is much more about finding a common fit, so that you can continue having the good culture that you have already established.

It’s not that I think you are wrong to look at github though. It’s just that I don’t feel it’s really ever worth the resources you need to allocate to get a proper picture. I feel the same way about the coding interview, it’s just a waste or everyone’s time. I mean, how can you tell if their GitHub profiles aren’t doctored? If it was too clean or too good, I’d personally be suspicious why they’d work for us.

Utopia founder here. Totally with you on this, inline styles are at best a starting point. We already support changing the style target to `css` (styledC / emotion) and the various pseudo states. We also have primitive support for CSS classes.

We started with inline styles because typically that's the starting point when designing / prototyping. A lot of the features on our near-term roadmap are about then abstracting those: "take this element with styles and make it a component", "refactor this manually styled thing with the best matching layout component" etc.

Our design philosophy here is to help you do what you'd do in code (heck, you can even do it in code!), but not make broad assumptions about what that is or should be. Inline styles, helper components, utility css classes, styledComponents all have their place, and it's your job as a designer / engineer to decide on where to use what. What we can do is make those changes as fast as possible, while always showing you the resulting code. No black box, no "smart" decisions.

Right. It doesn't seem important where the project is hosted.
It's a chicken and egg problem.

If you grew up very poor and managed to make a lot of money, you likely know that people aren't violent or into crime because they like to do, but likely because they don't have money.

The big question is how to make the economic market more inclusive. A lot of people are just out of good options and need to chose which bad affair they can commit to.

Crime and violence is for many, a profession. I have friends which end up going to crime and they were very smart and able, the main issue was lack of opportunities and education.

When I see some people talking about education as if it's some sort of choice, I gotta make that effort to tell them that it is not a choice, it has never been. It's a privilege. Wake up.
Cookie banners are only necessary for tracking. The idea here isn't to obsolete cookies, just the banners, as the spec proposes a way to gather user consent through the user agent instead of a cookie banner.
The proposal includes no JS at all, and will probably reduce the amount of JS because it replaces current cookie consent modals and banners.
Given that it's wood, you could probably shape it into a wedge and clamp it in.
The GDPR already explicitly forbids 95% of the cookie banners out there, but large companies decided to ignore it and simply face the fines if they in some hypothetical future will arrive. The rest of the industry followed.

Until the law that defined informed consent actually get enforced, a new law can not really fix it unless the regulators start to add the threat of jail time to repeat offenders.

How to Start Your Recruiting Agency on LinkedIn
I think my issue with conventional psychiatric drugs and talk therapy is that they are what Tylenol is to a headache, they don't actually cure the condition, they simply mitigate the symptoms.

The same is true of insulin, though, and many, many other drugs. Somethings just slow down a disease (drugs for autoimmune disorders often do this).

I find it completely unfair to expect everything to be a cure: Treating symptoms doesn't make the drugs bad. Treating symptoms is better than not treating them - this helps people not suffer. Actual cures are much, much harder to come by, especially when we don't know what causes them or what to fix to cure them.

Medicine doesn't have to be perfect or ideal to be helpful.

It doesn't matter what I feel, personally I'm just as against American economic imperialism as most people who see how evil it is. However, you previously said it was against the will of millions, while the opposite was true: the millions marched against communism. Millions went on the streets against the old system, and same gave their life. Does anyone want the return of communist Russia? Based on the polls, not really. Even the radical left would never suggest such a thing.

> Unless your will is to further American interests, RFE was against your will. No more, no less.

I'm sorry, to me it's look like a semantic error. Maybe you meant "against your interests"? Because the term "will" has a precise meaning - if I want something, this is my will. In order to have a fruitful discussion, it is necessary to adhere to the generally accepted meaning of terms, otherwise everything becomes moot.

> also, why would any dependency of your projects at work be implicit? all dependencies should be captured somehow, the very least in some documentation. .... Nix.

Because distributing software is hard, especially if things change. That's one big reason why Docker images will sometimes get used for development environments (like what VSCode supports).

Nix is nice, and is a pretty good way of capturing those dependencies. But it's also difficult to customise, often lacking in documentation, and not used very widely.

If you're not using something like Nix (i.e. most people), it's natural for dependencies to be quite implicit.

The most frustrating thing about these cookie banners (more like cookie lightboxes) is that almost none of them are compliant with the rules. Unfortunately I don't have time to find the source right now, but I'm pretty sure I've read official EU guidance docs clearly stating that many "dark patterns" are simply illegal. For example making the "Accept all cookies" button require less effort than only accepting necessary cookies, which almost every page does.

I feel like the current state of cookie consent is completely broken, partly due to the complete lack of enforcement, and having a browser-specific setting that propagates to all pages would be great -- but again you have to think about incentives. If pages are not required to accept these settings, their incentive is to ignore them and to claim that since it's unfortunately not supported "yet" (read "ever"), you still have to wade through the cookie form.

"bad stuff" in this case is combustion gas from natural gas appliances, sewer gas from sucking the water out of toilets, etc. So no, there's no end to the "bad stuff" they generate.

Separately, offgassing is an issue for sofas and mattresses, anything made of particle board as well, but if you put them in a low pressure environment, it doesn't drastically accelerate offgassing. If they offgas formaldehyde, they're going to keep doing it after the low pressure period has ended, so better to avoid those materials altogether.
