That assumes that companies will pay dividends and your can get a good estimate of future yield to value. Corporate earnings are a proxy for potential future yield when there might be future yield. But most large tech companies don't regularly (or don't ever) plan on doing that. We're left with a proxy that no longer works in most cases and in the cases it can, has already been arbitraged so that retail investors won't be buying future cash flows through dividends at reasonable rates.

No it won't because lab grown meat is going to be far more expensive than its animal-based meat counterparts for decades after it actually becomes available.

That's a fair point, most of the applications I've worked on have been relatively simple (or I've just gotten lucky). It makes sense that different issues crop up at different scales, given the complexity of different workflows and package dependencies. I also haven't worked in ML before, so that may be a class of complexity all on its own.

That's exactly my point - their current profit margins include post-sale app store driven revenue. Removing that means they no longer make the same money that they did before, so if they want to maintain that margin they'll have to increases upfront costs to offset the lost revenue.

One more example is the Oculus Quest 2 - it's $300 (64gb ssd) or $400 (256gb) for a truly outstanding headset, but it probably costs Facebook $400-$600 to make each unit of hardware. If you don't want to see ads[0] or log in with Facebook, that price becomes $800[1].

All i'm saying is that people will always pick the product that's cheaper but equivalent and are usually fine with post-purchase rent seeking via ads or a service fee that is (invisibly) tacked onto future purchases.

I read and enjoyed Atlas Shrugged. Sadly I think the main points about Objectivism are lost and people substitute in Libertarianism.

A USB booting pi should last 30+ years if it's kept out of the sun and rain.
I read a telling point about Jeff Bezos yesterday, he believes people, all people, are inherently lazy and will work to avoid work. The description seemed to be trying to say, without saying, he's an Ayn Rand disciple, meaning he drunk the Kool-Aid to believe he's a John Gault or an Roark and we're just the peons preventing him from greatness and his destiny.
I have both a QY-70 and a QY-100. They do have a tracker like view where you scroll vertically and can insert midi events including NOTE, CC and Sysex. Not exactly a Polyend tracker but a very similar idiom.
The cool thing about the later QY range is they have the unique feature of reharmonizing your patterns based on chords held in your left hand.
My favorite units for composing on the go as they are cheap, battery powered and have all the sounds and presets (drums, strings, synths, ethnic instruments etc) to compose full songs and arrangements. Rock solid midi sequencing as well.
Some sounds are dated but good enough to have something going that you can polish up at home with quality vsts.
Check out Galcher Lustwerk albums to get an idea about the electronic sounds included.

I don't think you can claim its entirely narrative driven so long as stocks continue to represent equity stake in real companies with real revenue liabilities and assets.

Sure, the market price is largely driven by human behavior, but so long as stock ownership represents a claim on real assets the base value of that stock (which can wildly differ from the price) can only be as narrative driven as the value of those assets.

Unless you want to argue that commodities themselves are priced largely by narratives rather than real utility, but that's a stronger claim.

The vast majority of people would be under performing without even noticing at 4.5 hrs. Yet somehow, everyone thinks they're part of the 1% that has some magic genetic fix for this. Sort of like how 80% of people think they're above average at driving.
But that's a private party deciding their own internal party issues. That's private individuals, not the state. I don't really mind or care what a private party does within their own systems.

That's not even remotely similar to, for example, the state arresting him.

Probably people resent how equal the wealthy are, in terms of dictating public policy. There's a degree of wealth, at which point the government is merely a performance.
I can't read the article because it is behind a paywall. But, taking a stab in the dark, the title suggests that the article will follow the fairly standard formulation of "government banned the free market for your own good, and then the only way to make progress was via government. It worked, so libertarianism can now be written off"

So, note that the major government contribution in this pandemic was removing all the safeguards that slow down vaccine development and rubber stamping the first vaccines that look safe enough. The WHO failed spectacularly at nipping the pandemic in the bud - rather helping to slow the response by working with Chinese propaganda. Most governments were largely unprepared and powerless due to poor preparation, despite private actors ringing the bell for years.

The libertarians (like me!) would claim that the pandemic has shown why a free market approach would have been a better response to the pandemic. Ayn Rand's objectivism could have handled the situation fine.
Frameworkless, functional, independent, vanilla JavaScript discord group
Hi all, I've been looking for a community of people who can't help reinventing the wheel, and keep writing their own implementations of routing, server-side rendering, styling, security, event handling, API interfacing, state and dependency management, hot-reloading and anything.

If you're like-minded, than you're probably familiar with the usual criticisms of

"a lot of smart people worked on this and that framework, why are you ignoring that",

"this and that framework or library solves this and that problem, so just learn its API in addition and never worry about the actual problem." and so on.

I would like have discussions about the actual problems we're facing, not ones relating to frameworks, talk about theory and first principles, algorythms and pseudocode, our various solutions, working our way towards generic, independent, modular, reusable and composable functions we could even share with each other. I've noticed a lack of such a community, so decided to create one. Your level of expertise is irrelevant until you're genuinely driven, and not appealing to frameworks you don't fully understand, or expect others to do so. In fact, fresh learners with stable javascript, technical or mathematical (or philosophical) knowledge could facilitate the discussion by having less things to unlearn, so feel free to join. As stated in the below references as well, we're not against any framework, only willing to sacrifice solving problems earlier in favor of understanding them better. Here are a few links that have inspired my attitude:

Yes of course, it's the same here in Sweden. In fact I pass a newly developed area regularly to visit my brother.

BUT the big difference is that while they're building the 3rd and 4th house, people are already moving into the 1st one.

This turkish organisation built SEVEN HUNDRED houses without anyone moving in. Surely you can see how that does not add up?
There’s a huge difference: in the animal kingdom all species play their part and live freely—yes there is predators and prey, and the wilderness can be a violent place. But humans breed animals in cesspools, and humans rip mother cows from its children to mass produce milk and beef—much of which is tossed in the dump in the name of “food safety.”

Animals will catch what they eat, and catch no more than necessary. Humans will over-fish and dump shit all over the place killing marine life and filling oceans with oil.

I could go on and on. But you know, we’re all fucked from this behavior. In the name of money we will all perish at the hands of our fellow cheek-turners.
AWS is a money printing machine in a very dynamic market. They need to keep the pace or MS will eat their lunch.

Amazon also sells hardware (kindles, echo, sidewalk), has a media platform through Prime, has logistics software for vendor and order fulfillment, in addition you are underestimating the cost of running a global e-commerce site (legal complicance, security, privacy, accessibility, etc. are constant technical draws on even established products)
From the article I cited:

> Students are pressured to conform their opinions to those broadly associated with their race and gender and to minimize or dismiss individual experiences that don’t match those assumptions. The morally compromised status of “oppressor” is assigned to one group of students based on their immutable characteristics. In the meantime, dependency, resentment and moral superiority are cultivated in students considered “oppressed.”

I guess it's this oppressor/oppressed ideology that neatly buckets people into bins based on immutable characteristics. It ignores individualism and personal responsibility. I don't know what the outcome will be of telling kids that they are more or less living in a system corrupt to the core and they are more or less a victim of circumstances of birth. But I'd prefer not to run this experiment with my children.

Also, reintroduction of segregation:

> Recently, I raised questions about this ideology at a mandatory, whites-only student and faculty Zoom meeting. (Such racially segregated sessions are now commonplace at my school.)

> actively working to harm the lives of trans people.

Many self-described trans-activists are indeed "actively working to harm the lives of trans people" by seeking irreversible hormonal and surgical transition for young kids and teenagers who are increasingly being encouraged to express "confusion" and "dysphoria" about their gender roles, no matter what their actual feelings on the matter might be. So she's at the very least not alone in that!
Trump was unstatesmanlike... Sure I can agree.

In each disputed area you suggest it’s “likely” Apple is right.

In my experience, security engineers, even Apple security engineers, have the same very human kind of “can’t see my own typos” bias as the rest of us.

In my experience, fresh eyes looking from a different perspective are more likely to be right. (Part of why pen testing and security researchers are a thing.)
Versions are specified within the requirements.txt, if that's what you mean. Upgrading can be done by installing a later version of the package and rewriting the requirements file.

I suspect my use cases haven't been as complicated as some of the others listed in this thread, which may be why I've never felt the need to look into poetry and others.

Ah, yes.

It shows.

50 engineers is probably less than the size of some support teams within Amazon that handle a single large corporate AWS customer.

Maybe not the best analogy since auto makers have to sell spare parts to third part repair shops.
For science, Python probably, it gained much tracktion in scientific community in the recent couple of years. But it's only a subset of "programming". C-like languages usually offer to become full-time programmer. In science you may need to read books and papers more often than to code I think.
> This may surprise you, but using lambda is considered a sign of bad programming practice in Python

Only by its BDFL. Most languages consider lambdas to be first class so why not let the user decide?
How do you know it's "finished"? You could have said the same thing in 2006 and been completely wrong. What makes you think the customer front end of Amazon is where the bulk of the engineering is?

Edit: engineering and maintaining the infrastructure of Amazon compared Vs cracking a code in world war two seems like a strange comparison.
Why Algorithms Suck and Analog Computers Are the Future (2017)
Very true. I would gladly pay for a feed of financial news, but instead of "clicks" it optimizes on market movement. News articles from sources that, in the past, have predicted market activity.

I.e. "this blog mentioned NYSE:TEVA, and the next day the stock moved materially, therefore site_ranking++". (You'd probably have some TF/IDF saliency metric too, so that a site that mentions all stocks is penalized.)
I wish SUSE were more popular in the U.S.
Former AWS engineer here.

I worked on a pretty critical product in AWS (big AWS service with lots of traffic) and I can safely say that it's totally up to your manager and pre-existing conditions which make up the job. My manager was great as a person but would always lack in my career-oriented goals (bigger projects, promotions, etc)

But what really sucked for me was the pre-existing conditions. Our on-call was pretty bad (40-60 tickets a week) and there was very little investment being put in to improve it. We had a lot of little scripts here and there which would solve extremely specific situations but no focus was ever put on in building a general framework or trying to reduce the ticket count. This often led to engineers taking the day off after their on-call due to the load and honestly it made people quite grumpy. And upper management was always much more interested in feature delivery since the focus was always on promotions and the more you delivered the better it looked for your manager. So now you have engineers with such a terrible on-call load along with pressure to deliver new features and projects within the atrocious tight deadlines that would be set. It was, to be blunt, a shit show.

Code quality was atrocious. We had one enormous Java method (>1000 lines) which would take care of nearly every single request coming into our service... With only about 7-8 unit tests. It was so difficult to get even basic things done to the point where any ticket that needed to be done would take a minimum of 4-5 days regardless of complexity. And of course managers and senior engineers would estimate small tickets to take around 1-2 days and then be shocked when 2 days later it's not even close to being finished. I will give Amazon credit that they do grill design reviews pretty harshly so those are done well in general. But code reviewers didn't care about quality or best practice. If it works then ship it.

I'm just not 100% sure about the whole PIP scene. Our service was extremely critical and we were extremely understaffed. So I don't think it applied to anyone in our org but I know of other teams who would have no issues in taking in a fresh college grad, making them do work for 6-12 months and then just randomly putting them on PIP. Sad but I've seen it happen a few times in my time there.

I'm glad I got the Amazon stamp on my resume and left. When I left, more than half my team and my manager quit around the same time too. It was definitely a wild experience.
Nah. It's on the other two for not showing up
The thing is, just like a car can travel on any road a computing device can execute any software. Apple deliberately breaks this functionality.

Apple does not sell a subscription to me, they sell a physical product that can perform computing. That device is absolutely able to run a Linux kernel (in fact people already have made Linux work on M1), so why can't I just flash a new operating system and do that? I'm owning the device already and I don't have any obligation to Apple to buy more software from them, and I don't think Apple does me a favor by offering me an iPad to a "subsidized" price (like other people are arguing). Of course right now it's legal to do this kind of shenaningans, but I surely find it absurd.

Also, having used Cyanogenmod and LineageOS while I was an Android user I can tell you the Linux community would design a working OS for Apple tablets in no time if there was a legal way to do that.
AWS alone requires thousands of software engineers. And there is Amazon Echo, Twitch, Prime Video, a lot of software for warehouses and logistics, their autonomous stores, game studios, Kindle, Amazon Fire devices, their app store, Audible and I barely scratched the surface.
> Animals will catch what they eat, and catch no more than necessary.

I don't think that's true. Have seen many a cat catch mice to "play" with until they're dead and not eat even a nibble.
I've had two job offers from AWS for SA and TAM and I turned both down. The actual position was always lower than what I was originally interviewing for (Senior instead of Staff)

Literally the only company I've seen that does that. It's like a bait and switch. If I'm not actually qualified just say no lol
> and its concurrent AWS, which could be run by less than 50 engineers

One engineer for every four offerings.

I'll explain the in-joke: Radium was the name of the premier, and to my knowledge only successful, "audiowarez" group. So if you were a teenager and you wanted to switch from Fast tracker II to "professional" tools such as Logic or Sound Forge, you'd likely find a pirated copy somewhere and if you did, it'd likely include an info file that said it was provided by Radium.

I have no clue who they were and how they managed to crack and spread just about every piece of super expensive audio software out there, but they did. I bet the vendors hated it but it was a life saver for us teenagers.

Why would Rust do anything weird when presented with the string "%p%s%s%s%s%n"?
It’s not like companies can just not open up offices in states whose laws they don’t like, no one is debating that they can’t do that. As for remote positions, it gets trickier: if the state has laws that have scope beyond the state if the company employs a resident, does the company still have a right to avoid employing in that state for positions that do not have fixed office locations? EOE just means you don’t discriminate along some protected classes, employers can still discriminate for legitimate reasons (degree status, citizenship status, work experience, criminal record, etc…).

The courts might have to work out whether state residency is a protected class or not.
It's fine if you want to run iOS or iPadOS on your device, that shouldn't exclude other people from installing an OS of their own choosing though.
