You are 100% right. A million people can own $1000 in a corporation, or 1 person can own $1,000,000,000. The company has the same capital but wealth is distributed differently.

Even if we needed big corporations, we still do not need billionaires.
It was explained to me that the following are indispensable parts of Buddhist practice:

- Devotion

- Loving kindness

- Morality

- Generosity

I'm not saying that these kinds of things define religion; but there are few systems of thought that include these things, that don't also include supernatural beings.

It's hard to argue that Buddhism isn't a religion. It's certainly possible to construct something that's derived from Buddhism that isn't religious; but I don't think that's Buddhism.

/me not religious, nor Buddhist (any more), and now much more contented.

Not sure what point you are trying to make. It's not a "private company" (not even a closely regulated one) in any sense of the word "private" no matter where in the world that word it is used.

Health care might be organized differently than in most other countries but that does not imply that those institution are private.

Is the City of Munich also a private company? It has self-administration, is responsible for its own budget which can't be negative, has to operate within legislative bounds including giving compulsory benefits to its residents (which are exactly the criteria you quote). Of course not, that's a city. What about the Technical University of Munich? They even have "members" instead of residents in addition to the things above. It's all the exact same kind of legal entity. Saying one is public and the other one private doesn't make any sense. What's the difference between those in your eyes?
refactoring no code (because it was removed) is certainly faster.
Their response in this post suggests they don't view this targeting as related to them or their responsibility.

> "The list is not a list of targets or potential targets of Pegasus.

> "The numbers in the list are not related to NSO group.

> "Any claim that a name in the list is necessarily related to a Pegasus target or Pegasus potential target is erroneous and false.

> "NSO is a technology company. We do not operate the system, nor do we have access to the data of our customers, yet they are obligated to provide us with such information under investigations."

My read of this is it's the kind of carefully worded intel-like response, basically saying the people targeted are not Pegasus(tm) targets because Pegasus is the name of the product and it 'technically' doesn't do the targeting on its own, the customers do the targeting - therefore not our fault and not related to us, we just sell software. (Even though the customers used NSO software to do the targeting, sold to them by NSO).
It's one of the top two or three most important things.

All teams have far more work than they can possibly do. A handful of things win; most things lose. Reasonable cost tradeoffs to pick which two or three things per quarter get worked on require estimates. And even in small startups, millions of dollars are spent on salaries per those decisions.

Slack still limits searches for free accounts, and charges per user. This basically excludes most community-based use cases. Not very "hip" if you ask me.
>would subsidize the electric vehicle sector to the tune of $174 billion

The U.S. infrastructure deal was unanimously supported by all members of the house, not just the speaker.

This type of uncertainty/doubt argument can go both ways. Her spouse lost money on that specific option call, so that could also be proof she didn't use her influence.
It’s a write off if they donate that money to a foundation which they lead and can use the resources of. I agree though, that write-off is often used to mean some magical tax loophole though. The former case is very interesting for a lot of rich people though. You can even leave your children in charge to pass the budget to them to use.
This. Cheap infrastructure spurs adoption more than the added cost to the EV. It also adds tremendous flexibility to the EV itself allowing it to charge off existing infrastructure not intended for EVs.

They made billions from excellent businesses on which the world relied during a time of crisis. What would people have done without the likes of Amazon and fast delivery of nearly everything?

>These billionaires pay their workers minimum wage every day.

No one makes minimum wage at Amazon.

A lot of my friends work at companies with legacy code, a lot of which have libraries that they bought where the company isn't even around anymore and it was locked on to a specific system by license, they can't transfer it, can't fix it, can't update it.

I won't use a language that isn't open source, I don't trust companies enough, there is a chance they could die, revoke a license or do some other stupid thing that makes it unreliable in the future.
cloud agnosticism is, in my experience, a red herring. It does not matter and the effort required to move from one cloud to another is still non-trivial.

I like using the primitives the cloud provides, while also having a path to - if needed - run my software on bare metal. This means: VMs, decoupling the logging and monitoring from the cloud svcs (use a good library that can send to cloudwatch for eg. prefer open source solutions when possible), do proper capacity planning (and have the option to automatically scale up if the flood ever comes), etc.

It's a truism that programmers won't use non-free programming languages, but I don't think anyone in this thread has talked about why.

I think a key part is that investment in a language goes both directions between programmer and language author. When someone learns a language, they are spending a lot of time and effort to load that language into their head and build expertise in it. That effort amortizes out over the amount of useful software they are able to write in that language in return. When the language is paid and where users have no control over the cost, they can end up in a situation where they are unable to extract value from what they've already learned if the language gets too expensive.

It's sort of like asking users to turn a corner of their brain into farmland but then giving the compiler authors the key to the padlock on the fence. Users don't want to give financial control over a part of their own headspace to someone else.

Free programming languages ensure that the user can always have access to the value of their own expertise in the language.

The Github Pages situation is definitely unfortunate. We tried to contact them for couple of months to ask to add an option for COOP/COEP before the deprecation, but didn't have any luck with our contacts.

I'm very sorry. Unfortunately that is a misunderstanding that has been common. One is most certainly not immediately protected. It's something of a threshold effect, rather suddenly (over a period of some hours to a couple days) you go from very little to a meaningful level of antibodies. This occurs anywhere from some hours to as much as a couple weeks after vaccination. And of course the second dose re-challenge used in most of the vaccines, improves the strength and durability of the immunization. So yes, please give it a few weeks to do its work.
While that may be true, how many people is it? The water from the river that is wasted in Utah means it is not available for more viable uses downstream. What impact will that have? I'm guessing the number of people positively impacted from stopping this use of water will be greater than the number of farmers impacted. If the main reason that this is not being discussed is because the person in charge has literal skin in the game, then it makes it even worse (potentially criminal?).
And he isn't even involved in any arcane minimization schemes. ProPublica showed that he sold ~$4 billion in Amazon stock last year and paid a billion of it to the government.

I have no strong views either way, but I think it destroys her case that in the original comment she identified herself as a professor on media at a major east coast university. She was basically asking to be named as she explicitly referenced her somewhat unusual job as claim for her credibility.
Thanks! No, the US Government can't access your data. Only you can. GovCloud is just a special portion of AWS that has extra security controls so that US companies are confident that all their data is housed in US servers and properly treated according to ITAR regulations. It's totally fine for companies outside the US to use and doesn't give the government any access.

We also support on-premises deployments if that's preferable to companies outside the US.
Yeah, why don't they just stop being poor??
This is actually kind of what I'm hoping for. The saying is "when you hear hoofbeats think horses not zebras." But that's boring and it turns the doctor into a bored and checked out professional who just constantly sees the same symptoms day in and out and prescribes the same treatment. When something interesting does show up, they're too used to the status quo to actually address the issue.

Let the AI prescribe all of the horse treatments. The doctor can then spend their time imagining more fanciful diagnosis that we're centuries away from teaching the AI how to deal with. Then when the primary treatment fails, instead of trying to convince an overworked and checked out doctor that you've got some other problem, they'll actually already have a list of possible alternative issues that they were really hoping they would get to investigate this time around.
The modern commecial business corporation is ineherently a risk-externalising structure, which is specifically indicated in certain naming conventions, notably the "limited liability corporation". Legally it exists to sheild investors, as well as creditors and officers, from full personal liability. That has certain advantages, but as with all forms of impunity is subject to and the direct source of tremendous abuses.

Capitalism is often touted as an "engine of wealth generation", but what is in fact measured in financial reports and national GDP accounts is not wealth but profit, revenues less costs, where both seek the advantage of ecnomic externalities (positive externalities for profits, negative externalities for costs) to maximise those profits. The foundations of economics of the firm (microeconomics) are found in cost-accounting, and cost-accounting itself was limited to the expenses and revenues that could be measured (theree's a version of Goodhart's Law buried in here somewhere). Alexander Hamilton Church is the father of modern cost-accounting and gives some interesting insights. (Yes, related to the othere A.H.)

GDP is a measure of cash flows, rather than actual increase in national capital, wealth, or well-being. (With some adjustments.)

Economic definitions of wealth differ, though Adam Smith's was "the annual labour and produce of the nation". In general, it is the notion of productive capability (labour, motive, or change power, effectively available energy) plus stored capital to use that energy, plus resources to act on, and sinks to exhaust to. (Industrial knowledge is a form of copital.)

NSO Group's activities and rhetoric are par for the course.
It simpler than that for simple scenarios. `kubectl run` can set you up with a standard deployment + service. Then you can describe the resulting objects, save the yaml, and adapt/reuse as you need.
Storm drains are a much smaller problem than a regional water shortage catastrophe. If that is the biggest issue a municipal grapples with they are in a good position.

Kubernetes on AWS is always broken somewhere from experience as well.

Oh it's Wednesday, ALB controller has shat itself again!
Yeah, I'll probably be on a performance plan next year because, based on feedback I'm "slow". Yet another feedback I got was that they were surprised by the very thorough analysis I do and the way I am able to articulate it. So slow and finicky.
Wage growth is starting to take off in the US due to extremely fierce competition over job applicants. If, as you say, Amazon doesn't pay employees enough, they will leave in droves for better paying jobs.

Of course, if your facts aren't correct, they won't. To wit, 71% of Amazon workers in the recent unionization drive in Alabama voted against a union, citing, of all things, the good pay and strong benefits of the job.
> What's the point, if there isn't a discount for paying upfront?

In a past life, I did some work with government clients who preferred to be charged up-front in a lump sum, because it was much easier for them to get funding for that than a recurring subscription.
As a Kubernetes outsider, I get confused why so much new jargon had to be introduced. As well as so many little new projects coupled to Kubernetes with varying degrees of interoperability. It makes it hard to get a grip on what Kube really is for newcomers.

It also has all the hallmarks of a high-churn product where you need to piece together your solution from a variety of lower-quality information sources (tutorials, QA sites) rather than a single source of foolproof documentation.
The externalized costs are absolutely being subsidized.
They are paying exactly what they owe otherwise the IRS would come after them. You have equal access to the same infrastructure. Feel free to start a trillion dollar company.
This feels like a post ranting against SystemD written from someone who likes init.

I understand that K8 does many things but its also how you look at the problem. K8 does one thing well, manage complex distributed systems such as knowing when to scale up and down if you so choose and when to start up new pods when they fail.

Arguably, this is one problem that is made up of smaller problems that are solved by smaller services just like SystemD works.

Sometimes I wonder if the Perlis-Thompson Principle and the Unix Philosophy have become a way to force a legalistic view of software development or are just out-dated.

If you want an excellent wireless ANC experience for long periods of coding (or for travel or entertainment), I strongly recommend Sony's wireless noise cancelling headphones:

Sony WH-1000XM4 (or the slightly older WH-1000XM3)

The top alternative that I'm aware of is Bose's noise cancelling headphones but I haven't tried them myself

> As for damage; why does anyone dredge up another's darker side, if not to damage them in some way?

To confront them with the harms of their "darker side", with hopes that they will have a change of heart and desire to reform. But.. that's often misguided if one does this in public before at least making an attempt in private.
It's not the hard part of "designing a compiler" but who wants to "design a compiler?"

In ordinary software people spend most of their time modifying existing code. I wouldn't want to reinvent "javac" or "cpython" but adding a new feature to a compiler like that should be easy.

Alternately there are a number of "compiler-technology based tools" that we don't have. Instead we get problems like

https://www.liquibase.org/

which defines a whole new XML-based language to manage database changes. That's like jumping from the frying pan to the fire since you're still going to have to understand your RDBMS, how to write SQL for it, what the non-standard features are in your database, etc.

A sane tool like that would use an extensible parser generator to easily support the variant syntaxes of different SQL dialects and would be able to parse and unparse SQL or a variant of SQL to define change sets.

(speaking of which... shouldn't a compiler generator automatically make something that can reverse the AST back to source code? how about round-tripping source code comments, formatting and all like some CASE tools did in the 1990s?)

A while back I had the problem that arangodb scrambled the order of columns in JSON result sets and wrote something that parsed the AQL, figured out what the order of the columns was, and turned the result sets into nice pandas frames.

If "writing compilers" was easier people would write "compilers" that do things other than compiling to machine code.
Do you have any source for this? This sounds so incredibly dodgy that I can't really believe it.

I think this attitude is too fatalistic. A good approach would be to see if there’s some way to break up the feature in smaller pieces, into smaller milestones, etc.

If you have a manager that is unable to deal with this kind of stuff, then your problem is the manager, not the estimates. Estimates are extremely useful, and you’re doing yourself a disfavor if you think that they are never meaningful.
So we replaced something that sucked with something that sucks just as bad but it has an app.

My two cents is that docker compose is an order of magnitude simpler to troubleshoot or understand than Kubernetes but the problem that Kubernetes solves is not that much more difficult.
this is the right attitude. Things should be results oriented not hours-worked oriented. The problem with the industry is that the factory worker metaphor still persists when knowledge work is nothing like producing something in a repetitive manner.

Um, they kind of are? Or at least think they are? Any sort of international pressure is met with cries of 'anti-semitism' which quickly shuts down anyone. It is used to combat the BDS movement, which itself is intended to put pressure on Israel over the occupation of Palestine. A non-violent option similar to what happened with South Africa.
The mental model distance between dev tools and user tools is simply too large. Dev tools are still too anchored in the 50's model of source-code >> compilation >> runtime code, when consumer products have a much more healthy mixture of active content and tool palletes working on the content. Heck, even the guy in the article asks about "Programming Languages Startups" when he means "Integrated development startups".

This difference is shrinking in the web, both client (DevTools run like an app inside the browser, with live changes to the code reflected instantly in the page) and the cloud (the entry point interface is a collection of collections, where you can inspect and operate on any component running in the system, and even create some kinds of workflows in the live environment).

But the lowest level for designing components relies on specifying a fully formed program in formal code, and having to run a build-deploy-test cycle without errors before seeing whether it works, instead of having code and data run side by side to see how the code behaves.

I put my hopes in online notebooks, but these are used mainly for data analysis, and "true developers" seem determined to ignore them.
