Why is your takeaway that the Apple employees are “entitled” , in a negative way, rather than that the average worker in America should be entitled to more?

The entitlement I’m referring to is the how dare you tell me I have to work in-person some of the time vibe that comes through the letter.

Of course the average worker should get more; that doesn’t mean they should take what they have for granted. They have friends and family members with shitty jobs; they know they’re far removed from what they have to deal with or the so-called essential workers who drive their buses and deliver their food.

In the same way a lot of products have become cheaper because of some process optimization (packaged more compactly to reduce transportation costs), I'm excited to see modular homes/home 3d-printing etc. play out and become cheaper over time until they are more affordable than convention home construction or somehow unique and better in ways that conventionally constructed homes cannot be.

To answer your question, one possible target customer is the rich (wo)man who wants a cabin house far away but something more comfortable than a cabin house.

There is a Cambridge University Press / APSA study about the United States that shows populist swelling or the popular vote rarely results in any legislative change that matches the sentiment, and legislative changes come from well funded special interests that were already there. It is either purely coincidence when those changes match what the protesters want because special interests became interests, or were already interested.

You can see the desperation in trying to find an exception to this, given how much energy would be expended by protestors and those bound by the popular vote, so the we can at least concede - for their sake - that they may have gotten the attention of special interests sometimes, with one influencing the other.

I think the more efficient use of energy would be to identify the most effective special interest groups and capture them.

> It is possible that you may even be compromising your career by being good at the technical issues of a job to the extent that some bosses who cannot stay on top of what you are doing may feel they would be more comfortable with a safe, matey colleague than a bit of a strange wizzkid who gets to be known as the oracle of all things.

This is always a possibility... however in my experience things tend to fall more on the side of bosses being all too happy to offload responsibility onto that whizzkid and then tuck them away in a box away from any possibility of career advancement.

After all, if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.
> The hardest thing to grok with FP is immutable data.

A lack of understanding how concurrency works can really screw you up in Elixir.

I almost never use task, because I like certainty. I've been bitten too badly by people using it who didn't understand it. I don't like having to explain `Enum.each(tasks, &Task.start/1 )` is going to screw up your order of operations to someone who doesn't get it.

> Basically eliminate Redis or caching.

It's easy to start off thinking that, but then you can end up spending a lot of time maintaining subpar libraries you've written in-house that don't have the nicer features of the thing you replaced. Also, caching can turn into quite the memory hog.

Though Bitcoin does have brand name recognition. And being listed on major exchanges. Is that what they refer to as network effects, btw?

And if it's akin to religion or a well known brand, it could be easily cloneable but not easily adoptable. I can make a leather handbag or carbonated beverage right now, but unless I slap a Chanel or Coca Cola logo on it, it's not likely to be in demand.

We have the tendency to approach this from a rational perspective - "it's not a currency or store of value", "what about Tether", etc. But I can think of plenty of examples where the name itself is powerful enough. I'm not willing to bet that Christianity (or any major religion) will collapse in the near future. Slow decline, maybe.

Of course, maybe there's only like a tiny minority of true believers, a couple price manipulating whales, some smoke and mirror organizations, and everyone else is a Robin Hood speculator. I don't have the numbers on that.

I'm currently reading Marianne Bellotti's Kill It With Fire, which is about upgrading and maintaining legacy projects. It's more about meta-software-architecture (how to think about choosing and replacing architectures) than about software architecture itself.

It's very well written and full of useful insights for practitioners, while using language and descriptions that would be approachable to the layperson. This seems like a book that an engineering manager and a product owner can read together to better understand the shared endeavour of upgrading a legacy service.

Halfway through Chapter 3, I haven't learned anything I didn't know... but on the other hand, I find myself in violent agreement with each one of the author's points. And though it's a book that's well written and could be a breezy read, I find myself stopping to ponder on he consequences of each paragraph.

One great aspect of this book is that Bellotti was trained as anthropologist, and she brings the analytical tools of her studies to the human aspects of software development. The book offers a vocabulary/framework for the software development process, legacy or not, and better models for framing our own professional experiences when approaching client work.

Heartily recommended.

>Does it prevent deaths? Perhaps. It appears to cause deaths too.

That data doesn't necessarily establish a causal link between the vaccine and death.

Visiting a health care facility for instance already puts you at increased risk of a bacterial infection. Which is why I always take a long shower after.

If there is a direct connection with the vaccine how many of those people had a preexisting health condition that should've made them ineligible to receive it?
"Starter home" is the niche this fits. It wasn't all that long ago that sub-1000 square foot houses were a normal thing people bought and lived in until they could afford (and had a reason to) to move to a house better suited to support spouse/kids/etc.

I also want one of these, because I want starter homes to be that again, not just an impediment to scrape off of the lot to make way to build the largest house that zoning allows. It's nice in some ways that ADU options like this seem to be prying open that niche again.

I don’t think this is as clear a worker working conditions issue as some are suggesting it is.

For example, a lot of people prefer coming to the office and not having to conduct meetings remotely. Would you be ok with them demanding that they have the right to conduct entirely in person meetings in cases where they feel they will be more productive doing so? What if they say that they are exhausted by Zoom fatigue and don’t believe they should have to conduct remote meetings when they are coming into the office already.

And they would have a strong argument that they have oriented their lives based on years and decades of Apple requirements (about coming to office everyday). Why should they be the ones to suffer because of the demands of people who made permanent changes based on what was obviously a temporary situation, even if it lasted about a year longer than many expected.

I don’t think the worker conditions aspect is as clear cut as some are suggesting.
> They are just not something anyone should be using nowadays.

I guess it depends, take Vim for example: been around since the early 90s, the developers are familiar with autoconf, and it seems to work well for them. Why fix something if it ain't broke?

Switching build systems is not necessarily an easy task. Also, as a user I always found cmake quite hard to deal with. Actually, as a user, I actually prefer autotools in spite of its shortcomings. I think there's still quite a bit to win here.

Either way, I personally wouldn't really call autoconf "terrible".

Isn’t it part of their 12% year on year growth strategy? Whatever it takes to make these numbers happen? Which is also why China builds cities designed for millions of people that remain ghost towns once they’re done: they’re not really built to be lived in but to boost the economy activity via construction costs.

I imagine the margin isn't there for it, but I wish someone would target the <= 120 square foot market. You would think the cost to build such structure would be less because it doesn't need to pass any code and has less features, but for some reason there doesn't seem to be anything between a $2000 tool shed from Home Depot and $45,000 options from companies like Boxabl. The closest I've found is Bunkie which has a Basecamp model but even at its base feature set is still almost $30k when including delivery.

I'd have to guess the market just isn't there for it, maybe everyone else just doesn't mind dealing with the building codes and permit requirements for larger units?

> I keep hearing about plants and bacteria that have been genetically modified to secrete e.g. animal proteins. Do fungi assemble their proteins from a different set of amino acids than animals do?

You're correct that the genetic code is _almost_ universal, and we do use mammalian expression platforms without problems. However, using a live human to express a protein that we normally never do is a bit of an ethical problem due to the associated risk. You don't want a partial expression or maybe a protein gets cleaved and turns into a toxin, or is misfolded and then ends up killing the host or causing a fatal disease (hello prions!), etc, etc.

To be honest, I don’t fully follow the above, and I’m not sure if this formalises the same problem. Copying the definition from Wikipedia:

> If P, then Q.

> Therefore, if not P, then not Q.

In this case, we could plug in the below values:

P = Contract Hacked
Q = Insecure

I.e. if the contract has been hacked the code was insecure. Therefore if the contract has not been hacked, it is not insecure.

No, the government did not remove the extradition law until September 2019, after proposing it in February 2019.

By then, many Hong Kongers had been protesting, arrested, beaten and worse. The reason we Hong Kongers did not and have not stopped is because there has been no justice for them.

That's the principle behind 5 demands, not 1 less.
As it stands, this looks like it will actually increase the productivity of existing programmers more than it will result in "now everyone is a programmer".

Over time it will certainly do more, but it's probably quite a long time before it can be completely unsupervised, and in the meantime it's increasing the output of programmers.
> "If you protest against CCP abroad, they will find people you love to make you pay. Even if you are in Australia," a student not identified in the report told Human Rights Watch, referring to the Chinese Communist Party.

Fear is a great driver. Not only most people will like to avoid the problem, but it can easily isolate anyone that wants to talk about it. If you are trying to improve your live by attending university, to avoid "problematic" people is also part of that.

Even worse it to retaliate against loved ones. Let's suppose that someone agrees with China that criticizing the CCP is a crime. What crime have the loved ones committed? Retaliation against completely innocent people just because someone else has committed a crime is terribly unjust, it has nothing to do with justice and only is about power. So, even if you agree with the censorship, the actions of the Chinese government are still inhuman and cruel.

Chinese society has advanced a lot past decades, it has been a great accomplishment to become a technologically developed country. But, the new challenges that a modern society presents need public opinion and collaboration to be overcome. Censorship only brings stagnation and the risk of increased corruption. Corruption will kill any future for China if people cannot speak up.

After reviewing the thread, I think that it may just be that we have had a genuine misunderstanding over the meaning of the word enforcement due to context. moxie has made it clear that third party clients are not allowed to use OWS servers, and enforced it by having such clients removed from the internet. I feel that counts as 'enforcement' although upon re-reading the thread I can see why this happened. I am not aware of enforcement on the server-side although this is certainly enough to dissuade me from pursuing third-party Signal clients.

I wouldn’t support a flat fee either since it wouldn’t incentivize less use of power or better energy sources. With that type of proposal you pay more, even if you’re trying to do good.

Sure, but usually I tend to think "abolish X" means "lets agree on an end goal of abolishing X and then work rapidly to transition to that world." So in that sense I tend to think the person is not advocating for the simple case of changing one law, but on the broader case of examining the legal system and making the appropriate changes to realize a functioning world where we can "abolish X".
