Looks like Kylin OS uses the Linux kernel. While not impossible to use in a real-time application (SpaceX Falcon 9 uses it) there's definitely work involved in stripping it down enough to work as an RTOS. NASA Perseverance uses VxWorks instead, which was designed from the beginning as an RTOS. VxWorks is also proprietary and looks like it's US export restricted.

I haven't read any of the court documents, and even if I did I probably wouldn't understand most of it because I'm not a lawyer.

But... Facebook has engaged in anti-competitive practices in the past and continues to do so today. I agree that just calling them a "monopoly" isn't very helpful, because they're a big company involved in many different markets.

Most people hate Facebook nowadays, but their anti-competitive behavior is not one of the top 3 reasons (probably).

I think if people focus on this single question: "Is <company> immune to competitive forces in <market>?", then the question of should we regulate/how should we regulate/etc becomes much easier to answer.

Google existed before ads but had no revenue. Ads are the only thing that kept it alive other than investor money.
Different methods of framing correspond to different materials available. Long 2x4s are too expensive now for balloon framing to be cost-effective, just as posts and beams, and lath and plaster, became too expensive (for different reasons), earlier. None is abstractly better than the other, even for identical end products.

In some places bricks are, or once were, cheaper than lumber. A carpenter who can't build a house with brick walls, or can't add a platform-framed room to one, is no carpenter at all.
In some "hard real time" systems failure to meet the deadline is treated as system failure. Vs "soft real time" where its a transient error. So the goal is bounded response time/latency/jitter at the 100th percentile.

Yup, I'm doing event sourcing.

For my approach, I really just have each device append to its own journal file. I use iCloud's file storage, so I don't even have a service that I run. Each peer device just uploads the latest version of its journal to a shared folder and downloads its peers' journals and plays back the delta as needed.

I intentionally chose this architecture since I didn't want to run my own sync service. It keeps the sync system free, but iCloud can be slow. Unfortunately for me, if iCloud is slow, the app gets blamed for it.

Yes, but the customer will blame you when e-mail from a misconfigured MTA doesn't arrive (from my experience running one).

The only way to know for sure is by experiments/simulations.

The heart of any competent operations team, whether its in computer systems or plain old logistics, is drills. You can't simulate every possible scenario, but you try to analyze and get an initial set, and the build that up as you run into actual production issues. What you want to avoid is running scripts for the first time in the middle of a disaster.
> This makes me wonder if they purposely submitted a weak case to appear proactive for political purposes, while knowing it would be tossed out.

I think its more likely that they were confident that what occurred (complaint dismissed with leave to refile) was the worst they would get, and the best case was that the court would accept the weak and easier to prove claims as sufficient fact allegations to support the case.
My understanding it that they are out of patent, but regulations make it hard for new players to enter the market. Since the number of companies making them are so limited, even the generics cost a lot.

For example, Basaglar is a "generic" of Lantus, but it's still expensive.

Here’s How to Save on Basaglar, the Expensive Lantus “Generic”
https://www.goodrx.com/blog/basaglar-expensive-lantus-generi...

> Basaglar contains the same kind of insulin as Lantus (insulin glargine), and while it is cheaper—Basaglar costs about 15% less than Lantus—it is still expensive, with a cash price of around $450 for a 30-day supply.

Unlike normal generics, the bio-similars need to go through their own clinical trials and prove they work the same as the original. They can't just "use the same ingredients" and release it. Mind you, that doesn't explain the extreme price markup, but it does explain why these "generics" don't follow the same "85% cost reduction" of normal generics. They still have, effectively, a costly R&D phase.

At least, that's my understanding.
It was definitely lucrative (sort of, I never broke $100k/yr but I have plenty of friends who did) but it was never particularly satisfying. I'm a competitive person but I love the collaboration of open source software. I tried creating a few open source bot projects but the economics of the bot industry just doesn't have room for projects like that. You also can't do well in the sneaker industry without making it your entire life. At the end of the day, money alone can't satisfy the soul. And I didn't care enough about sneakers. C'est la vie.
That’s how the internet worked in most countries until recently.

In any case, once again it’s irrelevant. Whatever your justification for it, this behavior will lead to internet siloization.
I don't put money in gambling on assets underwritten by nothing. If I want a rush I'll buy AMC or something with real world value.

Apple can't excel at games because powerful gaming hardware goes against their "thinness at all costs" philosophy.

Yea fair enough - and that page is always incredibly jarring at first.
Google needs an automated system, but not this goes far beyond what the automated system needs to do.

> large quantities of mail to Google's legal department to get handled manually. Complete non-starter,

Why is it an acceptable excuse for trillion-dollar-companies that compliance and manual oversight would incur costs? Like, it costs Ford tens of thousands to make each truck. Why shouldn't Google have to hire some people to oversee their program?

Completely not that important, but I did this a year or so ago, committed 'the number' to google voice, and handed out my new one to close contacts. It took a bit for people to filter their calls correctly, and I could always answer the 'business line' regardless, but I have zero regrets about it now.
Saying Facebook and YouTube are direct completion seems like a huge stretch. Google made G+ specifically because as Far as Google was concerned it lacked a direct Facebook competitor.

In what way can consumers substitute normal use like sharing photos with family members on Facebook with YouTube?
Yeah. In theory they are broken.

But in practice they can work for a while.

They work by taking a collateral and splitting in two. The first part has some fixed value in an external currency. The other part is the rest. And that works as long as the rest has some value.

However here we are talking about programming errors in the implementation. And Solidity/Ethereum is really at fault.

How do you implement a contract in Ethereum where a certain thing happens the price of Ethereum drops below XXXX dollars? You can (as this is what MakerDAO and others are doing) only it is silly complex to do.

It really should not be.

Back when I was trying to design an ECS engine I had a class Prefab<T...> which you would inherit from using CRTP to define entities with stronger static typing. For example, Player would be

class Player: public Prefab<PlayerController, Transform, Sprite> {};

or something like that. C++ is infinitely flexible in that regard. I was never quite able to work out what would happen if you were to add/remove components at runtime to such Prefab classes. The semantics never quite made sense to me in terms of static typing, because it's no longer static.
Ah, the classic “bait-and-switch”
Cool opinion. I’m not disagreeing with it. I don’t care. I’m just explaining that a logical entailment of your opinion is that the internet will be siloed off. Stop trying to convince me that your opinion is right. It’s totally irrelevant whether or not it’s right.
Agreed about old.reddit.com. I feel pretty old saying this, but I really miss the days of straightforward web design. Everything now is so chaotic that I'm never really sure what clicking anything will do. It feels like design for the sake of design, not for the sake of the users.
The Work You Do, the Person You Are (2017)
Facebook doesn't have a "market" in messaging or social networks. To be fair they don't sell messaging or social space.

Facebook's "market" is advertising in which it isn't the leader.

I guess it would be hard to prove a monopoly on something you don't even sell.

> What? Where do you get that? Then I better return all the equity I got.

Startups normally use options for equity compensation rather than direct shares because of the tax benefits for employees and simplicity for reporting. Options are look at more like regular shares in the EU. Can't was a bad way of phrasing it. More like shouldn't because tax laws make it a crap shoot.

Anything but at-will is extremely hard with knowledge work, especially for small companies.

You're assuming this number is accurate, which is a very controversial assumption.
> At the end of the day, what really matters is vaccinating as many people as soon as possible.

This position is absolutist and a mark of a totalitarian thinking and a large portion of population does not share it.

For most people, individual people freedoms matter too and in democracy, these freedoms are stronger than the institutional desideratum to vaccinate as many people as technically possible. What is best for the whole country isn't always best for the individual living there.

I found its interface inconsistent and unintuitive, especially compared to moment.js and day.js. Still better than Date though. :)
Reddit (the service) is tons better than Pinterest, facebook, instagram... I think it's totally out of line to group Reddit in with them. The new reddit website is total trash but you can use like 99% of reddit without ever visiting the website. I use Apollo for example, and there are many other apps you can use or develop your own. You can also use old.reddit.com. Access to reddit is much more open than any of these other networks that require you to use their app only.

If you maintain your CA domicile and continue to pay CA income taxes, then in that example, your physical and legal residence would remain in CA, so you're not a TX resident, you're a CA resident temporarily in TX. (Yes, residency is very complicated for state purposes, as each state has its own definition and thresholds.)

Also, unemployment is funded by employers, not income taxes, using an insurance-style scheme.

Either you're the customer or you're the product. Recognizing that nearly all internet companies do this allows you to identify what level you're comfortable with and duck out or move on if needed. It's always good to review your social media habits and scale back.

Having had a failed start-up myself in Germany, I take issue with the sentiment that equity isn't feasible as part of compensation. That usually comes from founders unwilling to work inside the legal framework to find a solution. And from investors, because paying employees with shares, that get deluded and take the second seat compared to investors, reduces HR costs for their portfolio companies.
It's only impressive in the sense that they have to use really shitty computers to achieve that number. Playing around with Rust on a reasonably powerful x86 box, you'll have no problem writing programs with a response time in microseconds, but they aren't using the same computers you and I do (or Rust for that matter). Word on the street is that most space tech is based on PowerPC, since you can buy decently powerful radiation-hardened RISC chips without breaking the bank (only $300,000 or so).

Personally, I don't particularly care if companies have my data. However, I vehemently don't want them to use it for algorithmic recommendations—including ads—because it puts me in a filter bubble.

All these technology companies are making assumptions about the type of person I am, and then molding me into that person. I can't learn about topics I don't see, so if the tech giants are convinced I like technology and computers, that's all I will ever learn about.

Maybe I'd be happier if I took up ballet dancing, or basket-weaving, or something else I can't begin to imagine. That seems much less likely to happen when I'm trapped in an algorithmic box, that assumes my past will dictate my future.
Yep, seconded. Stopped using FB years ago and I use Instagram for two of my passions - tiny houses and boobs. And, somehow, Instagram figured out that I wanted to buy a Remarkable 2 ;)

But yeah, joking aside, Instagram was the one of few places I actually saw ads of things I wanted to buy. Sure, the ads tried to rip my eyes out for those products ($50 for a product I found for $5) but still...

From my time at Reddit I can say the reason it has lasted this long is there are no hotshot managers.

Chris Slowe is the hand guiding the ship day to day, with a bunch of really passionate hackers underneath him. They are maintaining like 4 different code bases and keeping feature parity as best they can with a team that could still comfortably go on a ski trip together (compare that to the 60k+ at Facebook). The users hate change while also demanding new features. The business makes no sense. Steve is off doing... something, to ads or something and make investors happy so they keep the ship afloat. UI is going to hell to drive DAU metrics for investors. Banning shitweasels brings down the wrath of the conservatives. Yet they are still working their assess off to keep a mound of spaghetti from bursting into flames with 1/10th the staff they need to do so.

This is pretty much the standard issue "Ignorant/arrogant code jockeys have no idea how alone and scared us users are, and our need to be mollycoddled" rant.

It's Niklaus Wirth. He's the creator of Oberon, a language/OS/development environment which, while a bit idiosyncratic by our standards, is far more powerful than ed.

Oh, and while we're talking about the "real world", why do we never discuss the data entry clerks, sales associates, and customer service reps who learned to operate terminal-based F-key-driven UIs quite efficiently -- and were then forced on to graphical MFC, Java, or Web-based UIs with little thought given to efficient operation with the keyboard alone? The standard Macintosh-based WIMP paradigm is great for onboarding new users, but it's less good for efficient use by a trained operator when speed or volume is important.

Personally I find overlapping windows and icons to be more essential than... ugh... composited desktops. Translucent windows, drop shadows, and the "genie effect" are fun for half an hour tops, but these desktops consume additional processing power and memory and introduce latency! I'd rather go with a 90s style stacking WM.

Your model is nonsense - physical goods are not the same as digital goods.

Regardless of whether or not your model actually makes sense, an inevitable consequence of your model is that the internet will become siloed at a national level. It sounds like you’re fine with that though.

I remember not having a smartphone in the early 10's and not being able to use Instagram because you couldn't use their site. I would argue the phone-based experience is far superior to the browser...

No, they really don't. Some don't offer much of anything. Many of those end up providing benefits for the poorest of the poor, but if you're a little above that you're out of luck. Also if you have something like Medicare you can hit certain phases in coverage where you have to pay a much larger part of the cost. Being on any government program disqualifies you from most of these discount programs, so if you're on an expensive Rx you can still be stuck paying a few hundred $$ a month-- more than many can afford.

These discount programs aren't some big secret people don't know about. I see that argument thrown out in defense of high prices but it simply isn't true. Every doctor prescribing drugs knows about them and tells their patients about them. If people are going without necessary medication because they don't know about a discount program then they are extreme outliers.

These discount programs are simply marketing & lobbying tools used to give politicians cover when they all continue to ignore meaningful healthcare reform.
Occam was designed for the Transputer, which was intended to be used in arrays of processors, hence it being based on CSP principles.
