I dont know why this was downvoted. It sounds to me completely realistic.
Counterpoint to this: a lot of the programmers I admire all have an uncanny ability to just sit and work for long periods of time. Like, sit down and hardly move for 10 straight hours. They achieve a huge amount in that time - much more in a single 10 hour stretch than they would in 10x1 hour sessions.

And that applies to other things they do: playing video games, reading a book...when they do something they go 'all in'.

I feel like this level of focus is much more of a superpower than small amounts every day (although that too is powerful, and both approaches are infinitely better than what most of us do, which is very little)
Yes, I said this. Wildcard certs, as I mention, largely avoid the issue because it’s just one cert for a higher-level domain and largely uninteresting from an information disclosure perspective, at least compared with individual domain certs.
One thing is that usually the local server would be owned and managed by a local subsidiary of that foreign company - it may even be a requirement, to have them be run by a local company (even if fully owned by a foreign entity) with local responsible officers.

Another issue is establishing jurisdiction; if the server is held locally, then it's clear that local laws apply to things done on that server - the owner of the server can't claim that they e.g. got a US subpoena and did some stuff in USA that fulfills all the USA legal requirements and everything that's it; if the server was physically located in e.g. Canadian soil, then it means that the violation (if any) happened "in Canada" even if it was done by USA-located USA citizens of USA company.
> The simple solution is a local certificate authority which is added to the users’ browsers. It can deliver certificates automatically or manually.

I wish it was possible to add a certificate authority and restrict its usage to non-Internet servers (e.g. *.company.example).

(This is theoretically possible if the CA bakes that in, though not all TLS stacks support that. It isn't possible via local browser configuration.)

I think you are reading too deeply into my comments, and thinking I am arguing something I am not.
I like how the catalyst for this whole brouhaha is a tweet where someone jokingly prods the FTC, as if they'd be able to make Microsoft start providing pre-built VM images.

If we're on the topic of "holding vendors accountable for providing usable VM images", there are far more heinous players at the table here. Unless you're using an incomplete VM suite, most people will be perfectly suited with the Win10 ISO and container snapshots. I really fail to see what the riot is about.
You seem very thoughtful and set in your calculus. It's probably no help, but for what it's worth, two kids is less than replacement value. Were every couple to have only two kids, the odds are some would die and you would have a shrinking, not growing, population. Having kids, at least in my experience, is a true blessing, and something that I think will bring me great joy for many decades. To each their own, but I wouldn't worry too much about environmental impacts or global carrying capacity.
Was wondering about the exchange rate these days. Good catch.
Yes. This is antitrust targeted at practical impacts to everyday life rather than at narrowly defined, hard to prove classes of "anticompetitive behavior", which is the route that the US has taken.

An attempt at practical antitrust regulation might mean, for example, that if a Walmart replaces every other business in your town through the sheer merit of its business model, that Walmart doesn't get to refuse to do business with you on the grounds that the manager hasn't liked you since high school. It might even mean that you reserve Constitutional rights like assembly/protest within the area that is functionally the public square, which is the private sidewalk in front of the Walmart.

I know which approach I would prefer.
Even if it took 6 months, is that such a big deal for what is probably a large pay raise and potentially the opportunity to work on cooler and more impactful things with better coworkers? And for the record the idea that 130+ IQ is necessary is ridiculous. I can assure you I'm well below that.

Judging pointlessly is a big one, too. Especially if unhelpful levels of ill emotions are all wrapped up with judging things to be bad, which is so common I think it's fair to call that most people's default state, unless they've taken effort to change that.

Fixing those (forming judgements when they serve no purpose; feeling excessive ill emotions over judgements) is about half of the self-improvement part of stoicism, as in "think the right way, and act the right way". It's most of the "think the right way" half.
I'm 98% sure they stopped making 3d tvs, so you can't find a 2019-2021 3d tv; although I think some current model projectors might be capable.

I don't think there were enough sales to encourage enough media production to encourage sustainable sales to encourage continued display manufacturing. I'm biased because I wear glasses and wearing two sets of glasses is a negative experience anyway. The many different incompatible glasses made it unlikely to find prescription lenses with the right filters to make it possible to wear a single pair to see the screen and get stereo vision, so I was always going to hate it.
Is youtube really that willing to kill their reputation in the eyes of all truth seekers?
> became one due to lack of competition.

By phrasing what happened in the passive voice, you are downplaying the fact that Google actively strove to make it hard for new competitors to become established.

Of course there still are competitors to YouTube, depending on how we define the market for online video sharing, and Google didn't invent Metcalfe's Law, but nor should they be surprised that it was hard for alternative sites to compete. That is, after all, why they bought YouTube in the first place and discontinued Google Videos.

The New Hollywood crowd (to some degree, I guess - not my point); I’m pushing back against the cynicism of stating all successful people in the industry got there through nepotism and luck. Is there nepotism? Sure. Is there luck. Sure. But the same is true in business, politics, you name it. The vast majority of people who work in the industry just show up to work everyday and push it.
I had to change desks and computers (thanks, Covid) and started feeling significant wrist pain in one specific configuration I tried. Then I bought a split keyboard (Dygma Raise) and a keyboard tray to attach under the table and the pain went away. I am now building courage to spend a few thousands on a better chair, because the one Corporate sent me sucks. But seriously, even switching the chair height makes a difference.

You can also try to make your arms stronger. Have you tried those exercises where you roll a stick with something heavy attached to it through a rope? I bet there are a million other better exercises too.

On a last note, in the past I felt significant wrist pain due to bad punching technique when practicing Muay Thai. I was bending my wrist while doing punches, especially uppers. Fixing that made the problem go away in a few days. So yeah your problem could be coming from outside.

Email is push, websites are pull. If you never choose to visit a website, then you'll never see a link on it. Most of the websites you do visit already prevent obfuscating links. Emails just show up in your inbox when an attacker wants them to. We could of course change that, and have people only see emails from known contacts or that they have requested. However, this destroys a major value proposition of email. Instead, it makes sense to limit the ability for senders to obfuscate the contents of email.

Cryptocurrency in its current popular implementation is a fraud, there is no political affiliation.

Cryptocurrency as an academic concept is a cool way of addressing the needs necessary conditions of a medium of exchange, still apolitical.

Cryptocurrency as a decentralized medium is maybe some kind of libertarian (not the same as right wing) ideal, but like communism I see no evidence it would actually work that way.

Calling it right wing in what I presume is the sense of American politics misunderstands both the political right and blockchain technology.

Totally. As a devout Anti-theist I really wish I could join some kind of secular group that was identical to a church but without the religion. Go every Sunday with my family, socialize with the folks, have potlucks and events, help people out when they need it, etc. We need to bring back this sense of community.
In Ontario, Canada:

“According to the 2011 NHS, only about 30 per cent of employed individuals in Ontario who held a bachelor’s degree or higher in engineering were working as engineers or engineering managers. Fully two-thirds of engineering-degree holders were not working in engineering at all. Many had jobs that didn’t necessarily require a university degree.”

I appreciate your candor. You seem to have pretty set views, but I think they're caricatures. In particular, while pro-life work that is most visible is someone praying at a planned parenthood (and of course, the ones that harass are typically not even Catholic, since it's not just catholics in this 'movement'), the bulk of pro-life work is exceptionally boring things like collecting bottles, diapers, baby clothes, putting together mum and baby classes, etc. No one talks about this because it's not polarizing. Or take the issue of 'homophobia'. No doubt many Catholics will say insensitive things, but almost anything about the potential of homosexual acts being wrong is today conflated with homophobia. And you ask for Christ's statement on sexual orientation, but they are abundant in the gospels. You seem familiar with them, so let's start:

Matthew 19:5: "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh?".

As you yourself said, Christ was certainly not afraid of breaking social norms of his day. Heterosexuality was a major norm at the time. Don't you think Christ would have said 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh? Oh yeah, and sometimes a man will leave his father and dad and be united to his husband, because that's the same thing'. The lack of teaching on that speaks volumes, as does Christ's strictifying of existing Jewish sexual ethics, rather than loosening (in his ban on divorce).

The second thing that I see is a lack of understanding of repentance. Christ preventing the prostitute's punishment was because she had repented of her sin, not because sin is irrelevant. The same is true of the female priest. Should she repent, I'm sure she'd be welcomed back (otherwise your Gospel passage would be quite relevant). The priests who corrupted children... well this is a very long story and I know of no lay Catholics who really support the church's handling on this. But the existence of sinners doesn't take away from the utility of church. However I'll point out that the reason that happened was that the church bought too much into the mercy rhetoric that you seem to want it to buy into further. A lot of justification for moving priests was based on the assumption that (1) they had repented, (2) the church should be merciful, and (3) based on psychological understandings of sex in the 60s and 70s which were more radical than today, pedophilia was a condition that could be cured.

Anyway, I'm guessing this will fall on deaf ears and that there is an impenetrable barrier that will keep either of us from convincing the other. So to end, I'll just wish you the best. I mean that. Thanks for the response.
Isn’t it great? Lol.
> Parents are just people doing the best they can.

I'm not willing to be this generous by default. Beyond the basic manslow hierarchy of needs, people choose their priorities. Career, Friends, Family, Children, Recreation, Education, Health -> These are all facets of an adult priorities and they choose how much to allocate to each of these.

Many of those that have children do it out of obligation, ego, legacy, society. Many have unrealistic expectations about how much control they have in shaping their spawn, and do not handle well when this new independent human does not match their expectations.

These people end up causing genuine harm, and when we look back at what they did we should absolutely call out their prioritization and choices as harmful or toxic, and learn from them.
Unfortunately most people don't understand what's going on there. Palestinians in Palestine fully support HAMAS. Almost 100% of them. So they support a terrorist group and Americans are so foolish they don't understand that they constantly attack Israel out of pure hate.

Anyone that knows anything knows that their kids in school learn hate in their books. Their books talk about killing Israelis and Jews.

The funny thing is the left even supports terrorists.

> We cannot allow an oligopoly that no one can avoid

If this is true (which is very much in question), that's the issue. If it's true that nobody else can enter that market, then that's the problem we should address. A monopoly or oligopoly does not suddenly become OK because we put some rules in place for how it should operate, and those rules may in fact entrench the established companies because they can afford the overhead.
As sibling points out, this is not correct. Unfortunately there are a number of sections in your book where you engage in a similar kind of misdirection as this.

You post almost made me cry. My father passed away a few years ago and one of the things I regretted the most was that the last time I talked to him was 'a few months ago'. It took me a long time to come to terms with that and to stop beating myself up for it. People, call your parents.

And if you want to compare that to the North American standard: I lived in a small town in Canada. Grocery store was 2km away - walk or drive or bike, they were all fine (though no infrastructure existed for the pedestrian or cyclist). But public transport was non-existent. A single intercity bus line had a stop ~25km away, and it came once per day.
This passage strikes me as meaningless self-help dreck.
As someone obsessed with speed, I have to say that your comment missed the mark.

Speed is not throughput or scale. Speed in the context of search is all about result latency. Do my users wait 400ms to get search results or 700ms?

If you want to talk about ludicrous speeds, then compare it with solutions that actually provide ludicrous vector search speeds such as faiss, NGT and other libraries mentioned here http://ann-benchmarks.com and talk about what you use under the hood, innovations you made to make search faster, analyze how much network latency overhead is there when using your product and how does your (globally distributed?) infrastructure help keep that minimal. I'd be interested to read about that.

What it feels like after reading your comment, is that what you are really selling is scale, not speed.

Well actually, Standard Oil peak market cap was about $1 trillion. Rockefeller owned about 25% of this. The rest of Rockefeller's wealth came from the rise in share values post-split.
Standard Oil at it's peak actually had lower market cap than any of Apple(2.5T), Google(1.7T), Amazon(1.9T), Microsoft(2.1T) have today, and is about on par with Facebook (1T).

FAANG is huge and market caps already greatly exceed that of the old-school monopolies.

All of the advice in this article makes no sense to me.
