There's two ways to look at this. One is you've found your dream job, and that job defines you as a person. That's fine, because it's working for you and it's how you want to spend your life. But I feel this is a rare event, to find and maintain their dream job for years over reorgs and new CEOs, or having the company bought out and new company making bad internal changes.

Then there's the other bucket of people, who are just trying to make a living, but the environment makes it hard for them to do so due to it being so toxic. And this is where no amount of starry-eyed speeches will sway this group to working harder without pure cash. They're there to make money, they understand that the employer they work for are gonna get richer while they only get inflation-rate increases. These people would rather spend their time with family and friends.

For what it's worth though, based on friends who are chaplains and priests, those dying on hospital beds always tell a tale of being with friends or family, or personal events that gave them positive memories. Not a single one of those people they talked to ever spoke of how they did well at any of their jobs. And from this I think most of us fall under the second bucket. To encounter someone like Linus or Stallman who would probably talk about their work as a life achievement is probably a one-off unicorn.
Could this be propaganda intended to normalize the idea of complete top-down control over every area of life? We all need to wake up while we still can. It’s one thing to be a shut-in as a matter of your own individual choice - but this large of a % of people supposedly wanting it imposed on everyone else? In the UK of all places? I smell a rat.
These quotes are good food for thought. I've never read anything from Chomsky. Any books in particular that you would recommend?
>A pro shop is a sporting-goods shop within a public or private-membership amateur sporting activities facility of some kind, most commonly a golf course, where it will typically be located in the country club building. In the case of golf pro shops, such stores usually provide equipment such as golf balls, clubs, shoes, and tees, as well as golf-themed gift items, and sometimes snacks or refreshments. Aside from golf courses, pro shops are also frequently found at bowling alleys, pool and snooker halls, tennis and racquetball courts, ice and roller hockey rinks, and football (soccer) facilities.

Asking about revenue is not the same as asking about profit. In any case, the 80-20 principle still applies. Monetizing already successful content categories will deliver far more profit than long-tail niche content that far fewer people see.

It sounds like you're arguing that Github isn't liable for people using copyrighted code through Copilot.

I think most people are more concerned about whether the user of Copilot would be liable for using copyrighted code generated by Copilot.
There's another cute (if unofficial) name for this that is slightly more specific than just "selection bias" which is (likely) what your professor was talking about: it's called the "lizardman constant"

Is it so obvious? Why do so many engineers write with these sort of modifiers (obviously, just, of course, etc.)?

Edit: I am assuming no ill intent from the author. I also use these sorts of modifiers without thinking about them much when writing. I am just curious as to why we as engineers call deeply technical things obvious when they are not.
Interest-bearing savings accounts are never more than inflation. If they did beat inflation for zero risk, then the money supply would increase, and inflation would rise to match.

You can think of zero-risk saving accounts as the lowest common denominator of investing[1]. Everything else is more risky, and thus has to offer you a premium to borrow your money.

Your savings account is really the bank borrowing your money, and loaning it out to somebody else -- at a rate higher than inflation. They profit from being the middle man in that arrangement, and taking the risk that the loan won't be paid back.

The best rates on savings are usually around half of inflation, though you will have to look around for those best rates.

[1] Checking accounts are even lower, since the bank knows you could pull your money at any instant, and so it offers even lower rates.

> Columbia film alumni had the highest debt compared with earnings among graduates of any major university master’s program in the U.S

When I was 17, graduating from high school and about to go into college, family, teachers, and counselors all said follow your dreams. Tuition when I started was $4k/yr, which was an amount of money I had never seen. I feel like I was the only one to ask how I would pay for that.

Answer was to take out loans and get a job. I’m glad I got an engineering degree and not a film degree.
While it is important to be good stewards and not pollute etc, I don't think we are competent to solve climate issues as a whole, when we can't trust each other to keep our word (so much of the time), and especially when we have rejected much specific advice of the planet's Creator.

At the same time, things can be OK for us in the long run, if we really try to learn what we should do, and do that. I would include praying, honesty, kindness and humility (willingness to learn) among those things. Really there is good reason for hope for the best; these problems are expected now.
I'll just keep using Ublock, thanks.
Depends a bit on the lock or access system. As of right now, most smart locks out there are still using a combination of zigbee, zwave, or bluetooth. This means that if you want remote control, you need to bridge them over to TCP/IP. We have a multiprotocol hub that we've developed for this. The hub itself isn't always required per say. For example, we're starting to see wifi locks. They generally have much lower battery life, but they eliminate the need for additional hardware, which is great. For bluetooth locks (e.g. August), we're looking at also building a single mobile SDK that would work with the various brands. This is really tricky because this requires a lot of reverse engineering.
I am not against research. Research as much as possible. Maybe something will show up. But it should not be viewed as a short term alternative to cutting emissions.

I am just worried that some industries are using carbon capture as a delay tactic. Reminds me a little if “clean coal” they pushed some years ago.

> These projects contribute to the success of the business in one way or another.

If you want your workers to care about the success of your business, then pay them with the success of business (e.g. shares). If you are only paying an hourly salary, you're not entitled to anything but their hour's output.
It's not sufficient in itself, but it bears most of the load of network-wide management of harmful traffic. It's the 99% effective method.

Endpoint-level control is no longer possible, since ad companies are skipping the OS network stack and bringing their own. Application-level control is less efficient, and more difficult, particularly when the applications are designed by the same ad companies trying to circumvent DNS control as well. (See Manifest V3.)

The best argument I can think of is "cells have sensors for EMF that lead to genetic expression changes, the results of which could lead to cancer" (there is plenty of ambiguous literature on how cellular response can increase the risk of cancer).

The argument "since cell phones don't emit non-ionizing radiation, they can't cause cancer" is simply incorrect.
My question exactly - I'd love to hear someone's take on this. Both are misinformation campaigns, and both result in violence.

I don't see why Trump should be banned but accounts tweeting that the government is planning a genocide should not (be banned). I'd say both bans were fair.

If the possibility of having the DNS packets rewritten was a concern for them, any junior developer could have easily implemented a proprietary REST web service to get the IPs over HTTPS just like DoH. Standardization of DoH in browsers isn't really furthering that issue.
> Housing sounds like a tough political problem at first, but few people will say no to a policy of "everyone -- rich or poor -- gets a free condo." Even existing homeowners would take a second home in a big city, even if all they do is use it for storage or weekend visits.

The problem is almost always local opposition. Looking at California, we see huge moneyed sue-happy NIMBYism that fights rabidly against any new building, even going as far as having dilapidated buildings and their parking lots declared “historical” to avoid redevelopment. The most progressive state in the nation with a Democratic supermajority trifecta is currently fighting tooth and nail to allow single family homes to be split into duplexes. How do you think this fight is going to go in red states?

Cities are built out. We can’t build condos without bulldozing something else, and that requires someone else to be displaced. Those someones vote for a city council members which ban apartments, condos, and anything that isn’t a SFH with at least three parking spaces.

We’ve under-built 5.6 million housing units since 2008, and as a result, housing prices are now unaffordable even in southern cities like Dallas. The housing crisis is exactly as tough of a political problem as it sounds.

It's called Youtube Premium and the vast majority of people of the internet made it very clear they will never pay for it even if the ads are driving them crazy.

Youtubers also get far more money from premium views than normal views.

Ironically, most of the complains people have with youtube are derived directly or indirectly from the fact that the platform is ad-supported. Youtube doesn't care that your video is offensive, but advertisers do. Every demonetization wave was preceded by a mass of people putting pressure on them (eg. NYT "journalists" literally searching for isis videos, taking screenshots and telling the companies with ads next to them that they will be listed in their article if they don't stop doing business with youtube)

Purely cultural momentum, and it can change very easily just like how any kind of touching is now grounds for a penalty, or any handling of the ball.

All it takes is some authority to smack it down over the course of a season or so.

To be fair they seem to be backing off on the accidental hands.
Smells a lot like older people who have their families and personal networks and have had their fun thinking that young people should stay inside and not be a bother. Thing is, young people need to socialize in order find a mate, build their social circle, establish their careers and engage with formative experiences. It's unjust for old people to decide they should be locked up after dark.

As a former TSA agent, it's most definitely theater. We used to practice by trying to hide something and see if we could get through. The xray operator didn't stand a chance even when they knew it was coming. This was over 10 years ago so maybe it's improved? I doubt it.

USB ethernet gets bogged down with interrupts if you start pushing lots of packets through it

The board I linked is the Pi's ethernet as eth0 and a Realtek gigabit NIC over PCI-E 1x as eth1 (instead of USB3 which is what the Pi 4 uses the PCI-E for)

As a result it can do a full gigabit of traffic with minimal overhead
> You're comparing vaping to getting vaccinated. You've clearly got an axe to grind.

Not sure what you mean by this, but I think everyone should be vaccinated unless you have some health condition that prevents you from doing so.

The reason I'm making that comparison is that there is an ongoing public debate about vaccines and long-term health effects that use very similar arguments to yours. All of our current data shows that getting vaccinated is a better risk tradeoff than potentially getting covid. Just like all of our current data shows that vaping is safer than smoking. Both of the counter arguments center around "but we don't know what the long term effects are" and can be applied to both these new vaccines and to vaping.
Your comment reminded me of this video of ravens trying to hide food from each other. They clearly demonstrate a robust theory of mind. Each is keenly aware of the other's goals and capabilities.

Seeing this, I could imagine birds using the strategy you describe.

I get this question about large scala codebases too - clean build and test cycles for things on underpowered containers in cloud build pipelines are in the tens of minutes sometimes.

One: my local dev machine has 16 gigs of memory and 16 cores. What takes the tiny docker container with 1 gig and 2 vcpus 30 minutes takes my computer about 1.

Two: Incremental compilation and testOnly make build/test cycles maybe a second / twenty seconds max, and most of that is test runtime on complex property based tests.

You just get by without a clean compile most of the time after you build the project the first time. And really, a lot of builds spend an inordinate amount of time just pulling in external dependencies (which are also cached on my local machine, but not on the containerized builds a lot of the time).
For an example of contrary, one can check Agda. It is not Turing complete, but a useful language (I personally wrote many parsers in it and its Haskell FFI is pretty good so you can essentially write unsafe parts of your programs in Haskell, and safe parts in Agda then prove correctness).
I don't think it's any malice. Just a way to bring up the idea of a sudden realization. Obviously, I could be wrong.

> software has a bigger difference on the end result than the actual optics

Not everyone wants artificially manipulated photos that you can instantly upload to instagram without any post work. But, you do need good optics and sensor to capture good photos - the rest is post manipulation. Do you think RED or ARRI cameras cost $50k+ for their built in software? Nope, they don't actually have any of the "neural net" hype you've bought into from Apple's marketing. It's all done in post. Practically nothing you see in the movies or TV or Netflix or other professional broadcast is done on Apple toy cameras using their state of the art "neural engine" software. I haven't read about or seen any, but I reserve the right to be wrong so I said "practically."

Besides, you got to start somewhere and the camera interface would come before the splashy software built on top of it.

Just give me the RAW/flat log files (that contain the most information and dynamic range) and I will do the rest with a real editing program that cost almost as much as your phone itself, and look way better.
Ah, it's still exponential, but in the size of the type, and the constants of the complexity are a bit different, so you need around x30.
If you go to bed at 10pm, why would you not want a curfew? For many people, 'back to normal' also means drunk people shouting under their windows in the middle of the night.

Now, a curfew sounds drastic, and I suspect many people are saying they are for it tongue in cheek. However, what's wrong with wanting to keep some of the positive aspects of the last year? Why go 'back to normal' when we can go forward to something better?
Image from any digital camera (SLR or Phone) is result of computation, unlike that from film camera where image is result of chemical reactions.

Optics (glass) does not play much role in phone camera cost or product development; but the cost (effort) is a factor of sensor, CPUs, NPUs, DSPs (hardware) and then investment in writing image processing software.
You Can't Replace REST with GraphQL
Looking at the responses against Mr Wozniak, if they are primarily from Americans, makes me raise an eyebrow. The impression of the country that I get from abroad is one of an insistence on "freedom" and "liberty". In this issue though, owning devices that limit your freedom and liberty in regards to repair is actually fought for.

Is the issue being framed incorrectly by the "right to repair" movement? Or are "freedom" and "liberty" understood very differently across the pond?
It's easy to circumvent if your ads are first party, as in YouTube's case. Most ads are not. Even most Google websites serve ads from ad-specific endpoints, as opposed to their own domain.
When inflation is 2%, that's to be expected.

In the 80s I got 5% on savings, but inflation was more like 10%.

We've had inflation <2% for a long time, and savings rates have fallen to practically nothing. If inflation rises, you'd expect banks to have to raise rates to attract your money. (Otherwise, you'd spend it now, since it will be worth less in the future.)

Inflation has risen a bit in the last few months, though nowhere near the 10% rate we saw in the 80s. As for whether that will continue... I suspect not, but it's really hard to make predictions, especially about the future.

I know very large REITs that use Kwikset Smart Keys. They have a dozen keys and just reset to a different of the dozen after every move out. Tens of thousands of homes and never had a problem. It’s security through obscurity. Plus locks are easy to break/bypass for someone that’s motivated to do so. It’s the casual crime of opportunity that you can guard against.
Yep. Bad actors will still find a way circumvent the system, either by copying keys or other means. It's a matter of risk and liability mitigation, not prevention.

I'd be curious to know if you're building a reputation system for renters/rentees (users), since that would provide value in such a market to fight it.
We tried the debate. We didn't win. Why should we stop there?
I’m not hand waving China’s emissions away, and explicitly said they can and should do more. If and when they decide to deal with the problem, I expect they’ll make a lot more progress than we have.

We’ll just have to agree to disagree that America is trying to cut emissions. There seems to be neither political nor corporate will to do so. Furthermore Americans have zero desire for reducing their standard of living to help the planet.
You could use the same logic to argue against taxing corporations or billionaires. Turns out they already want to influence politics whether you tax them or not.

I'm pretty sure the President at that time made the ownership of gold illegal and then decoupled the dollar from gold on executive action alone.

Well, not Hoover. The next President. The power was always there: the will to wield the power was not there until Roosevelt.
Yeah, the economy is a hugely complex interplay of forces. Nobody is completely guilty, nobody is completely innocent. (I make an exception for agents that participate in intentional deception like fossil fuel companies. If the economy and democracy are information processing systems, employing deceptive PR to lie to the system is 100% bad).

I've come to view my own personal choices exactly as you. It's not as much about changing my personal footprint, as it is using my dollars towards investment in changing infrastructure.

I had to replace my 50 year old gas furnace last year, and it was suuuuper hard to get anybody to even propose a heat pump rather than natural gas. So I made sure to call tons of local HVAC places, and make sure that everyone that wouldn't bid on a heat pump knew that the reason I wasn't going with them was because of that. For deeply conservative, low-information and low-innovation parts of the economy like residential HVAC, it will probably take regulation for them to offer the better choices. But I can at least try to let them know that they would have a customer base if they ever decide to try something new.
He's pretty awesome. Here's his website: https://chomsky.info/

I heard about him in college via the "mathematical linguistics" stuff which was a pretty creative idea.

Like anyone else he also has defects, his more recent commentary on American politics is arguably worthless because he completely dismisses everyone to the right of him as "the most dangerous group on the planet."
So the fact that some ISPs are apparently untrustworthy is enough to blow up the whole thing which has worked pretty well for the past 30 years?

There are plenty of valid use cases for captive portals. But yes, injecting ads and tracking are obviously messed up, but DNS is only a tiny part of that problem, and I don't see how using DoH will help with them. If you want to get rid those, then get rid of shitty ISPs. This is throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

This will simply lead to ISPs and network operators blocking DoH. And instead of a wonderfully decentralized DNS, we'll end up with centralized DoH in the hands of Cloudflare and their ilk. Who have been shown repeatedly to be user hostile; especially towards privacy conscious users.
