You can still make tons of money by being a good businessperson and knowing nothing about programming.

I really wouldn't use the term "literacy" for programming-skills.

"Literacy" is not about being at an advantage. It is about having a disadvantage when you don't have it.

This assumes that bias and unfair reasons aren't codified or part of the training set, which we've seen previously, simply isn't true.

There's an example of a company using AI to do a first pass on CVs for recruiting throw away female CVs. Another example of a company using AI to identify people in photos identify certain skin tones as being animals instead.

AI isn't a magic bullet, simply because it's still coded by humans who make mistakes, conscious or otherwise.

Or to put it another way, garbage in, garbage out.
Your thesis is 1/2 wrong, the hardware slice isn’t declining, they’re baking a bigger pie.

iPhone 12 was biggest super cycle since iPhone 7. It’s not that hardware revenue is declining so much as the flywheel is spun up for the ecosystem.

Pandas doesn't do formatting very well. Using pandas to generate non tabular data is also a non starter. So using pandas to fill out an existing Excel file, say by entering data in specific cells, won't work.

Your impressions are wrong. Like them or not, the reason behind the culture war is not to bring modernity but to centralize power. Look at how much evil is enabled by American hedonism and you will understand.
Smaller communes can successfully operate non-competitively. It seems the key is limiting membership to people seriously invested in the concept. With open societies that have large membership, competitive and power seeking forces from members uninterested in the vision seem to eventually dominate.

The verification side is easy enough to add to your server if you want to see BIMI-authenticated logos from other sites (fsvo "easy"). Having your own logo authenticated is much trickier, you need trademarks and stuff - because it's supposed to have some phishing protection. Also it's designed to coerce brands into making sure all their email authentication alignment is correct, because BIMI won't display unless all the DKIM and SPF checks out.
> Chromium scrolls 5% better on my machine so who cares about Firefox

For the longest time this was actually the other way around. Firefox decoupled rendering from scrolling, which made it a far better option in many cases (there are some disadvantages, but FF just was further from the technical side).

Chrome cannot render nice pictures. It neglects quality for speed. I think it still does. Isn't visible in every image and you can disable this with tuned CSS tricks, but the issue remains.

But of course you are correct that all this is completely secondary...

Any serious developer that doesn't at least appreciate freedom and open source is an idiot in my opinion. Please excuse my strong language.

Tax policy, i have no idea... there was a newsstory here about a globally minimum 15% income tax here, that would probably solve many things. I'm not a tax lawyer, but "there surely has to be a way" (hopefully) to collect tax where the money is earned, and not where it's "moved".

I'm not sure about US laws, but here in slovenia, there are a bunch of bureaucratic requirements, things that need to be paid, taxes that have to be paid, even if you just started a business and literally earned zero money. Taxes, pension and health insurance are theoretically defined as percentages of earned money, but have hard minimum set in, so if you earn very little money the first few months, they can be higher than the money earned. Just to start a business, you have to register it's location, and if you live in an apartment building, you need permission from all your neighbours (even if you're a programmer, or even a construction worker (= don't work at home)), and one grumpy neighbour means you need to rent out a place. Permits for regulated businesses are also expensive.

There is also no "soft-start" for going to unemployment to a business owner... if you're unemployed, you get some money (social benefits). Want to start a business.. let's say translation (just need a laptop), you immediately lose all benefits, and have to pay ~400eur per month minimum for health and pension insurance, even if you earned zero money that month. Fail, and want to close the business? You might not even get unemployment/social benefits, because you didn't get fired but closed it yourself. Want to do a one-time job (eg. unemployed and someone wants to pay you to paint their house)... impossible to do here.

Wow… a guy that directly employed almost 2 million people and indirectly improved the lives of tens of millions of dependents in the Amazon ecosystem is a dystopian person.

Bezos is far from perfect, but do we really think that that was his primary consideration of building and growing Amazon?

Pretty much every organization that gets large enough tends to rot from the inside and get dystopian, despite the efforts of the founders.

Anyone remember “don’t be evil”? Right.

Maybe, just maybe, he resigned because he couldn’t deal with the dystopian aspects of how Amazon grew.

My point is that it’s not a good idea to put the fact that a huge organization becomes “dystopian” at the feet of its founder.

It's the US, so I have no difficulty believing this kind of thing can happen. All it needs is an overzealous DA office and state prosecutor with a hard-on for deploying these technologies to keep their conviction rates up (or think they can).

See also Aaron Schwartz, who thought things would get so dystopian for that young man, just for downloading a bunch of science papers?
These programs are weapons of literal war. They exist to deprive people of income while enriching people who don’t need the wealth and shouldn’t have it (because they turn it into power which they use for further ill).

It’s amazing to me how many software engineers claim to be taking a moral stand by refusing to work for defense contractors, yet are willing to write these surveillance and “optimization” (worker squeezing) programs that give more power to employers… which is just as bad if not worse. The US government at least does a mix of good and evil things, whereas profit-motivated employers are clearly out for one side.
> I still often feel that I would like to have an extra row of buttons on the Ergodox/Moonlander, instead of the layer system. Oh, well ...

This is one of the things (the other being price) that stop me from jumping on the moonlander.

I really like having direct access to some functions I don't use constantly, like media controls and such. I don't mind having to move my hand to reach those, since I don't use them constantly, but it's practical to be able to operate them with just one finger. Like volume when I'm eating, etc. The Moonlander doesn't even have proper F keys...

More generally, this is a gripe I have with compact keyboards. I would really love to have "macro" keys, either to the top or to the left of the keyboard, but I absolutely hate having a number pad.

For some reason, all the "compact" keyboards seem to want to go "as compact as possible".

I don't carry my keyboard with me and have enough desk space for a big surface keyboard. I just don't want my mouse hand to have to travel far to reach the mouse.

Of course CO2 is actually generic, as far as I know. Yet with only one wave of the magic wand, an economic solution has appeared.

I heard this reasoning a lot. I understand logic and intent behind it — certainly a noble one. But I think that it is incorrect because it ignores unintended consequences, like the story with award for catching cobras in India.

You're shifting the power balance in an artificial way that doesn't fully change it. You're only shifting it in one particular market; this power balance still exists in other countries. Which creates a potential for arbitrage: instead of hiring people in a country which enacts those measures, hire them elsewhere.

You're also not exactly making the employee "more powerful"; you're actually limiting his freedom on the market. You're making his services more expensive to a buyer, and he can do nothing about it. He might have wanted to offer his services at a discount to get an edge above competitors who have more experience, for example; now he's unable to.

Do you really think that limiting someone's freedom is empowering?

That's how you get 2x salaries for engineers in US as compared to Europe, which leads to many brilliant engineers leaving Europe for US (or working remotely), which, with higher commitment requirement, contributes to the difference in startup scene between Europe and US. Of course, engineers are not the type of workers whom do you think about in such a conversation, but this happens in many other industries as well.
Alright will not be getting the Lambo then..
Is ownership the thing that motivates people to innovate? I don't think so. People don't innovate because they may get to own a company, they innovate because they get an idea and implementing that idea successfully may get them a big reward. I don't think ownership or competition is necessary for this process. There's plenty of innovation without competition or ownership inside companies already. Workers innovate to get a reward in the form of a promotion and/or raise, not because they're expecting to own something or because they're competing against someone.

One idea could be to collectively pool money to give as rewards to anyone who improves society in a way that people think is worth rewarding. To prevent corruption this process should be transparent and democratic (preferably direct democracy).

What we've strived for is to make our software super defensive to input it hasn't seen before. So if you enter a tax code or national insurance category that isn't strongly defined, we error, get alerted, then jump on it (instead of falling through to some default behaviour).

One nice thing is that a few of our customers give access to their accountants, who are very on it with challenging us if anything doesn't look perfect. When we get a report, usually it's an accountant telling us ahead of time vs. a customer finding out on payday, which is a sanity check we're grateful for.

> ...the Japanese were dead scared...and were looking to surrender...

Just how widespread was this sentiment at that time? Reading the accounts of the Kyūjō incident starting from the Wikipedia entry and branching from there [1], I got the sense that some of the Imperial Japanese Army leadership prevarication in the very early phases of the incident up to Kawabe's organizing of the agreement was this history's knife's edge playing out again. I just lack the cultural referents to even understand how significant was the fact that after the emperor's stiffly formal announcement, there was a broadcast immediately following to confirm in lay language that indeed it was a surrender announcement.

If specialist historians with the appropriate cross-cultural training can confirm it was that opaque to the Japanese themselves, then I wouldn't be surprised that the Americans misread the cues that Japanese were giving in their attempts to surrender, not helped by their selection of the Soviet Union as an intermediary that turned out to be an unreliable partner. This is all on top of the usual chaotic swirl of the fog of war.

There are criticisms against the narrative the Japanese were trying to surrender but the US ignored those attempts because the US wanted to use the nuclear bombs [2]. And there are narratives that the nuclear bombs were not decisive, but the Soviets opening another front was [3]. This account gives some useful color background to the decisions' context [4].

General consensus of casual discussions (as opposed to scholarly studies, which I couldn't find) of why the US didn't use the nuclear bomb on Tokyo seems to converge upon the US leadership emerging a strategy that desires a negotiated peace with some Japanese power structure intact. So any narrative that the US "just wants to use the bombs" takes place within the framework of the demonstrated and carried out desire for a negotiated conclusion. It might not have been as simple as "we want to use The Bomb, and by God, we'll use it", it might have been used as an instrument to achieving the strategic objective.

And there is definitely room to strenuously object to that use even within that framework, but for me to be convinced it was objectively black-and-white "wrong", I'd have to know more about the information and context the decision-makers on both sides operated upon, not the hindsight information we are privy to. Would appreciate any pointers to material along those lines.

What I took away from that pivot point in history is war is indeed, hell.

You can't realistically abolish your government. Or at the least stop being governed by one. Other internal organisations will take its place or a foreign government will gobble you up.

You can't realistically abolish businesses. An economy of just individual tradesmen all working independently cant come close to the efficiency gains a large business has and just straight up lack the capacity for large scale projects and R&D. It's going to lead to the same outcome as your government being abolished and then businesses being reinstated.

Listed alongside the other two, the special thing about unions is they don't have this "you just straight up cant get rid of them and keep them gone" factor. So I think its completely reasonable for a person very concerned with corruption to take reform, reform, get rid of them stances respectively. Remove the institutions you can and fight corruption in the ones you cant.

They didn't violate copyright for years, news were never copyrightable in the first place.

That doesn't sound like anything compatible with the rule of law to me.

They absolutely sell the multi-feature profile of you from that data, and the data merchants absolutely tie it together then resell it to everyone. In turn, a bank can make or break your ability to buy a home with it. Fintechs helping make credit decisions get that from both, directly and indirectly, and even better when doing a bit of correlation for the bank. Microsoft and Amazon no real help, Apple even less.

Note: Those products by and large all permit and enrich surveillance aggregation of the picture of you, and use with/for third parties/ads. It’s creepy how fast and accurate the multidimensional take has become.
Some of them do not want to know anything about unions, this is a common opinion among the American public.

Because humans deserve the right to freedom to accept or deny any voluntary contract. Which legislation that we're talking about is directly infringing on.
