The Joy of Cycle Touring: Ride, Sleep, Repeat
Sure, but where is the line between bad first product and being a scammer.

As a dev my first products are generally pretty average and my prices are high to filter to people that actually want the solution I'm selling.

My opinions is being a scammer you have the intention to take someone's money with out delivering any marketed value.

So there is the problem who can comment on someone intention.

I remember when coffeezila went after a youtuber who created a course. It was his first course but he sold 2 millions worth, everyone's first course sucks, he was unlucky enough to have a lot of people buy his first product. Then be labeled a scammer by drama channels because it wasn't university quality content.

These people are producing nothing themselves just amplifying problems in other people.

Multidimensional Scalability Model for Application
I had the exact same thing when I arrived at university in 2004.

There was a big Compsci building that had been completed a year or two before I arrived (started being built before the dotcom crash). It was scoped for the massive growth in students that they were expecting in computing.

By the time I arrived the thing was practically a ghost town. Student enrollment had cratered. I remember the huge fields of desktop computers available for students on multiple floors, and it was basically empty the whole time.

Sure, if you ignore the issue of how the user accesses them.

Even if you pretend the user has a dumb terminal, that's 5 computers that can each serve a hundred million users at once. Very very different from batch processing.

Also the original quote was about preorders for a single model in the united states.
Yeah we used to do that in the Netherlands. Still do, but they dropped the return value so much it's no longer significant. The roadside trash amount of bottles has increased accordingly.
No webapp ever stole your pictures or your agenda details, no webapp ever used some "private api", no webapp ever had access to an advertising id, I could add more items to this list.

> it is impossible for me to segregate my work perfectly across 5 organizations

I used to have 3 different browsers for 3 organizations. They all had same websites usually e.g. Email, social media sites for each organization respectively. Then I had another browser like FF Developer Edition for development, One more for Education and another in VM which gets invoked when needed for checking out URLs from unknown people.

I'm power-conscious, So I usually buy laptops with low-TDP (15W) CPUs but capable of running at least 32GB Memory for my aforementioned browser requirements. I run tasks requiring more compute power on cloud.

Lately I've limited by browsers to 3(Main/Development/VM), invoke 1 more when necessary. I was able to reduce the browsers by Using desktop Mail client with multiple accounts, adding multiple accounts to Twitter web, Automated posting to social media using Ayrshare (Stopped operating social media accounts which doesn't support it).
Data Processing Units
I agree. I‘m guilty of doing so, because I found them bizarre and impudent. They are like a window into another grotesque and worrisome world, but I still had to look.
Huge leap of logic to assume what license another user publishes their code under. A charitable reading here of chovybizzass's comment leads me to the understanding that they are publishing their code under a license that requires compensation if used, this code can be published to GitHub as well. Would it be stupid? Probably. But even more stupid would be to produce MIT-licensed code and then complain about not being compensated.
Actually, this is the case with any kind of process. Sound judgement and taste have to be applied in any kind of process or it just becomes mindless paper pushing. Bureaucracies always are in danger of valuing process over judgement and that is the way they become ineffective, stupid, and soul crushing. I kind of like the saying that comes with the Japanese martial arts. It says 'everything depends on the quality of the individual'. That really is a very important truth that one can never forget or the results will not be pretty.
Note that the license chosen is GPL v3. The code generated by the tool would also be GPL v3, which means that any larger work where the generated code is used may also be bound by the same license. I would request the authors to review the licensing terms. Thanks.

> Before easy transportation, every one local in a society was related one way or another and likely separated from other groups enough for race to count. I don't know how, historically, you can get a more "natural" grouping than that!

Sure but you weren't saying that. You were saying that these groupings were self-reinforcing.

The natural grouping you're describing is based on location, not biology. The biology is a consequence of isolation. And in fact, as the article points out, the biology isn't so clear-cut because even at the subspecies level we have genetic evidence for interbreeding (most famously between "modern" humans and Neanderthals).

This is what's called a motte-and-bailey. You're arguing tribalism is natural and based on biology, but when challenged you retreat to the undisputed claim that tribes existed and that tribes are biologically somewhat homogeneous, rather than defending your initial claim that tribes arise from biology.

You'd have to demonstrate that tribes were historically mostly xenophobic, which just isn't the case. If that were true, we'd expect the exact opposite of what the article describes: clear, distinct branches with minimal interbreeding.

> All large empires that you can name started off as tribes and eventually grew to incorporate others.

Again, that's undisputed. For something to grow it needs to start off small by definition. One could argue about the definition of "tribe" (e.g. pre-empire Rome is generally referred to as a "city state" but the initial settlers were likely part of the Latin "tribe") but that's overly pedantic.

You're trying to argue that politics is based on biological kinship and you're simply not supporting that claim in anything you say. You could have argued about the psychological differences in how we worry about people close to us versus people we don't know in far away places, but even that would only demonstrate tribalism at a social level, not that this tribalism is inherently tied to biological kinship.

> It's not an isolated incident either...that shit happens everywhere. Inspectors get paid, turn a blind eye, profit

If something goes wrong, isn't the inspector who signed off liable? Maybe not for damages, but they'd certainly lose their credentials and job. Do they just hope it never happens while they're still at it?
Sadly, there's no credible alternative to peer review, and nobody has come up with a good system to do that free. Preprint repositories are a start, but you then go on to publish so you can get citations etc. Alternatives are being built (https://science-octopus.org/) but nothing with credibility and scale yet
Many people are tying their shoes with slipped granny knot. There was a ted talk with some geezer teaching people to turn the bows in the opposite direction. But it’s way simpler to learn to twist the laces in the first knot opposite and then you get the square knot.
You can easily tell the difference by the direction of the bows. Square has bows perpendicular to the shoe, Granny twists the bows more parallel to the shoe.
Coffeezilla himself has become a brand and puts out a ton of content, some I’m sure of dubious accuracy. But overall it’s pretty damn easy to tell whether or not these YouTube ad classes, not unlike the late night infomercials of yesteryear, are selling a fake bill of goods. Many use obviously fraudulent tactics. They don’t peddle dev courses but obvious get rich quick schemes. Drama channels are the closest thing to muckrakers or even regulators in our deregulated scam-spam choked internet. I shed no tears for someone who made $2m from a bad course whether the quality was intentional or not. He can go cry in Tai Lopez’s garage.

Telia is pretty darn good - tier 1 provider, symmetric up/down. Sweden/Norway/Denmark and the Baltics. Oddly enough Finland versions of the offers are rather asymmetric.
My father was very strongly against my decision to get into web development (2012) and he echoed this sentiment heavily. I distinctly remember him yelling at me as a teenager; "you'll be living under a bridge in 5 years if you do this! India has this market!". He eventually kicked me out for not listening, forcing me to to borrow money from a friend to pay tuition in my final semester.

Needless to say he was completely wrong. I was out-earning him within 2 years of entering the market and I have probably the greatest job security in my immediate friendship circle.

Despite my efforts, he refuses to talk to me to this day. The man does not like being wrong nor disobeyed. A shame really.
Luckily for my case, some senior engineer was convinced that it was a good idea to make an "abstraction layer" consisting of pass-throughs for every API and external service, and group all the stuff in that layer in a single package. So I did instrument every method, but only in that BS package.
Will we gain any (fertile) land when ice melts? I sometimes think of an Antartic Utopia from climate refugees all over the world.
That's why I studied maths at university. It was beaten into my head in school that IT was on the decline.
It's ageism. Sorry for being so blunt, but I know to many people who were just uninteresting to human resourses after hitting 45-50. I know more than a few homeless people in my life, and over half were once Programmers. It makes me sick. I do know this, if you are in tech, save up that money.

(I have never understood this industry's way of hiring. Long drawn out interviews, and candidates whom are just average that get jobs.

Why not hire a guy for two weeks. See how they do. And of course, be upfront. Tell them this is probationary. You don't sent a guy to relocate, just to be let go in a few weeks.

There are some really great older workers that some company will scoop up when hiring is upgraded to this decade. Sorry about the sentence fragments. Too lazy to fix.)
"Also probably heavily affected my lifetime earnings as I started on £18k."

> Fake a few high profile ransomware attacks in their name.

Won't you run into the problem of them being able to say "look, that's not on our list of keypairs, nor is it a keypair we've ever used; it ain't us" and being somewhat believed?
Good point. I guess the language barrier was another issue, with English obviously being more popular than German, so "Indians in India taking our IT jobs" wasn’t really a thing.
Do the math. They really were that expensive in today's money. Of course you had cheaper alternatives for the home like the C64 and even more so the ZX Spectrum, but that flimsy toy would still set you back several hundred dollars in inflation-adjusted prices.
Nothing about robinhood disabling the buyside players but not the sellside?
Technically they're asking for a $45bn ransom if it's $45k per system and their claim of 1M infected systems is correct.

$70m is just the "buy it now" price.
Yeah. I intended to get a CS degree, but the parents insisted it wasn't worth the efforts and that I was better off with a real job.

I eventually got into IT anyway, but It's nice to know I have a proper education to fall back on when things go south; forklift driver licences don't expire...
The person you are talking about is following hype and trend, hoping to hit an easy career and ride the tide.

But the issue with this is that by the time you hear or know about a trend, it has already started and probably well underway. Like trying to catch up to a wave on a surfboard, you could miss, or fall off as it crashes.
Interesting, so pulse dialing in Sweden was zero-based (one pulse for 0 instead of 10 as here in Germany)?
Didn't a bunch of brokers do that?
I think that's a separate complaint that's being looked in to
Weird, around that time (a few years earlier actually) I was warned by the IT school we went to that they might try and pick us up to work for them before graduation. Didn't work out like that though, and plenty of my classmates couldn't find a job in IT and had to go for something else or move on to college.

I went on to college anyway because I wanted to do software development. Most of my classmates that joined didn't make it, or needed more time. A friend of mine ended up working in garbage collection and construction (remote crane operator) for a while, but he landed a job at a shipyard, and now a very cushy one at a generic IT supplier, traveling the country sometimes to go to jobs.

I work only with small businesses and they don't hire people. For example, I'm doing a custom project for $6K. It will take me a few days, but $6K is much less expensive than hiring a full-time person for $60K or $100K or $200K or whatever.

Also, there's really not too much software that a small business needs. Quickbooks. Excel. Salesforce/Zoho/whatever for the CRM. A website. What else does a small business need? When they have special needs, they just get someone like me.

It's not like every business is building a nuclear reactor and needs various monitors and alarms and stuff, whatever they even do with reactors, I don't know.

There's all kinds of outsourced tech support - phone or onsite. MSPs.

Everyone says to find a niche and fill it and that is how you can be successful, but everyone knows this, it is no secret, although so many people do, as if they are the only ones that know about it. But anyways, as a result, there is specialized software for everything imaginable. Damn difficult to find a niche that someone's not trying to exploit. Name an industry, a sub-industry, a sub-sub-industry, a sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-industry and there's specialized software for it.

77 / 16 = 5.5 (6 disks) at $521 per disk turns into $3126. Seems only 11 countries in the world has a higher salary than $3126[1], and probably people wouldn't buy something like that with their entire monthly salary, so at least $5000 a month is required to be able to just dispose $3126 for some drives. That leaves 5 countries with a average salary higher than $5000.

Granted, the source might not be the best, nor using average salaries as a signal either, but to say that many people can spend something like that on a whim seems ignorant at best.

Farts are not your breath. And if any significant fraction of the carbon in your stool converted into CO2 (which is odourless), released continuously would be bad enough (not as bad as breathing through your backside but much worse than any normal farting), and doing so all at once would be dangerously explosive — in the “you need emergency hospital treatment for a ruptured intestine” sense rather than a the slapstick comedy sense.
I basically only play Lichess now (>3k games last few years), but used chess.com once in a while still to play with friends having an account there. Never had the problem you describe, sounds like PEBCAK. The constant chess.com hating here and on reddit is kinda off-putting, though.

Yeah that's some pretty widespread spalling on the garage deck. Regardless of what went wrong, I'd be surprised if rust jacking or just plain section loss of the rebar wasn't a principle factor behind the collapse. All of that rebar has just been rusting for an additional 3 years since those photos were taken and it looks like the corrosion was already pretty spread out at the time and no one did anything to address it.

Tyler Ley has dozens of videos on the topic, I know I've seen a great overview of concrete deterioration but he's got so many videos I can't find it. Here's a intro to concrete corrosion though that explains some of it.

This is always the issue with these small pilots around very important issues (UBI being another that comes to mind).

It’s difficult to convey to people just how big the US is in terms of population and geography, and within those two groups how heterogenous it is.

Iceland has the population of a small US city. And 1% of Icelanders participated. This means a few thousand people. You cannot extrapolate any of this to a 350m+ population.
That’s a pretty ridiculous stretch given that I have more than 5 computers in my home that all work without talking to any of those FAANG datacenters.
You can do:

let foo = "1234".to_string();
let mut foo = foo;
foo = "5678";

This only works if you have ownership of the variable though. And in practice it's a pretty good compromise, because it's pretty hard to do this by mistake.

Note: const in rust is different to const in some other languages: it represents a value that is duplicated inline into each use site at compile time.
