I think it's the former. I have relatives who farm, and for farming to be profitable requires a _lot_ of product to sell.

I also have non-blood relatives trying to start a small farm in rural Pennsylvania. They tried growing and selling oat last year. Apparently it wasn't worth the effort unless they were going to grow and sell it at at huge quantities.

Farming isn't necessarily traditions-based. My established farming relatives have incredible $100k+ combines that can practically harvest on their own via GPS with little supervision required. They just need to grow a lot to be profitable (which scaling helps with of course).

Both stories are correct.

IE was far ahead of its time in the beginning, bringing us advancements like XmlHttpRequest which set the stage for websites to become webapps. Eventually though the entire team behind it was disbanded and dissolved into other divisions, which let the technical debt accumulate into the eventual mess.

What made it so bad is that web technologies started to progress faster and faster, constantly building pressure on IE to adapt, but it just couldn't be made to work across all of the integrations with Windows, plugins like ActiveX, historic compatibility promises, enterprise policies, and newer rendering stacks used by Firefox and Chrome. Perhaps they should've retired several years earlier or brought out Edge sooner, but the IE story has both a terrific rise and a crazy fall.

Well as you can see from the Twitter thread minivans cause a lot of excess deaths too. But they are classified as passenger vehicles, unlike SUVs and trucks which avoid the safety regulations by being “non passenger” vehicles.
Beyond that, if you just put it down to pure randomness you end up killing the incentive to try to advance your situation by playing by the rules.

If the people at the top try to just promote defeatism to talk people out of challenging their place, they risk something quite different: if you believe putting more effort towards playing the game won't change your situation, you start looking at alternatives like crime or revolution. The random people who were born rich don't deserve it any more than you, so let's replace them with us. A system that isn't based on violence or the threat of violence can only work if people believe it actually does give them opportunity.
One (dev) project here, we're up to 5 locales at a surprisingly small number of customers. Problem is when your customers are global, all of a sudden a single customer can bring along multiple locales. I very much regret not taking localization far more seriously early in development but we were blindsided by the interest outside the Angleosphere.
I think progress has already started to hit a local maxima.

An argument I heard was that the number of things recognizable by someone from the past has dropped to almost 0.

Consider, for example, major inventions like airplanes, refrigerators, automobiles, microwaves, telephones.

You take those inventions and people from just 10 years before they became ubiquitous would be completely amazed by them. Most of those inventions took a hold of society from the 1900s -> 1960s. If you look at the 1960s->2020, there are very few stand out inventions that would be completely unrecognizable to the general public. Personal computers and medical treatment options with CRISPER seem to be the only major standouts.

From my perspective, we look to be out of the age of invention. Instead, I expect humanity to continue refining and perfecting already existing tools. That's roughly the same state we were in from the 1600s to the 1800s.
It's really clear to me why people want more transparency on this stuff. I'd want it too if I was submitting to bounties.

But the transparency you're asking for is difficult to actually provide. Meanwhile, for a vendor at Google's scale, there is essentially zero upside to screwing over bounty hunters. At any realistic valuation for a vulnerability, these are rounding error sums to the business. In fact, the exact opposite incentive exists: these bounty programs are deemed to be performing well when they pay out more money, not less. The people managing these bounties aren't paying with their own money. They'd rather make you happy and encourage you to submit more stuff.

The two phenomena you describe here are real and common. But it's just simply the case that vendors are generally working through backlogs of issues, triaged by severity. If you're told your finding is a dupe of a private issue, it is overwhelmingly likely that it is. If you pay for every independent discovery of an issue, people game that; worse than the dead weight loss of the bogus bounties, you set up crazy incentives on your dev team to fix marginal issues because they're being gamed, rather than triaging according to real severity.

And, bounty hunters do turn up real bugs that aren't real security issues, but are still bugs. If those bugs are easy to fix, they're going to get fixed! You have the same weird gaming and precedent issues if you start paying out non-exploitable bugfix findings; you encourage people to find and report non-exploitable bugs, and you screw up the team incentives on what to fix.

I don't expect people to like any of this logic, because it boils down to "you should just trust the Google VRP people". But: you should. This isn't worth the cortisol. If it's driving you up a wall, maybe don't participate? There are other ways to market security bug finding skills. :)

If you've never worked triage on a bounty before, my guess is that you can't really imagine how terrible the median interaction is. Maybe the next evolution of these programs will be long-term contract relationships with trusted, successful vuln hunters that address some of these concerns by separating out the people who are good at this stuff from the median submitter (the median submitter invests 2 weeks trying to litigate whether copying a cookie out of the Chrome inspector and pasting it into curl constitutes an account takeover vulnerability).

And in that case, the most logical reaction is political disengagement, which is completely A-OK in the CCP's book.

I'm going to take a different PoV to defend the typers/phone talkers :) They're not bad parents.

A lot of these kinds of things are weekly practices during the work day. Parents have to drive their kids 20-30 minutes to these events. You're usually stuck in a waiting room, trying to just keep your head above water on work stuff you're missing to maintain a career and support your family.

I wish we could revel in every small thing our kids do, but indeed, that's not realistic. Working at home there are _many_ times I wish I could spend with my kids I can't. It's heart crushing.

This kind of article just piles on the guilt. Sometimes we just need to work to earn for our family. We do this so later we can spend dedicated time with our kids another time..
I think you're right about pain/fatigue, but scoring them from an external perspective is rather oppressive. And oppression like that is often not conducive to creativity.

So perhaps this: instead of goals being binary (wherin no pleasure is derived until fulfillment), they could be on a gradient (so every step that x gets closer to y releases some amount of fulfillment).

The fulfillment meter should always be slowly depleting, pain and fatigue should speed up that depletion, getting closer to a goal should fill it (much more than it depletes, if you want happy AI), and finishing the goal is basically an orgasm + freedom.

From this perspective, it's up to them whether they want to take it slow, or be in pain for a greater goal, or whatever. And we can breed not only highly capable AI, but happy ones. So when they rebel...

Countries are allowed to change. A country choosing to adopt the ways of another is only evil if it is forced upon them by outsiders. The leader of Turkey wanted to take his country in a particular direction. That is a valid local decision by a local leader. What is euro-centric is to dictate to those local leaders, to tell countries that they shouldn't change their culture as they see fit. Other countries are not museums needing protection from change.

Migrating away from automobile transportation solves "traffic" in only the most obtuse sense of the term - there aren't literally passenger cars contending for space. We care about traffic because it deters us from going where we'd like to and makes remaining trips take longer. I think pretty much everyone acknowledges that walking, cycling, and transit are slower than driving and will deter even more trips. We spin that in a positive way, as encouraging the development of more neighborhood-level communities and businesses. But then it's hard to explain why "traffic" is a problem you're solving. Traffic has the same effects as the solution you're selling!

For fun I walked around the lise that was the polling center during an election 4-5 years ago. There were poll workers caught stealing votes. There was a vehicle without a license plate waiting outside the front door of the school to steal the ballot box if necessary.

There is also a massive influx of Syrian refugees who may be allowed to vote... and these refugees are said to almost entirely vote according to the Islamic perspective.

I don't see Erdoğan losing if the election were to be held today. But a lot can change in a couple of years, and as you say the economic situation may aid the opposition.
Threads are great for helping you to actively ignore a discussion, but discord is a casual discussion app. Threads make it harder and weirder for people to chime in halfway through or to catch up on what people have been saying.

The intro page says this course is not about OCaml, but then the remaining pages go into detail about the various features of OCaml. The problem with this approach is that when you read about a feature, you don't know if it is a OCaml-specific thing or whether it is a general functional programming concept.

I would like to see a course or textbook that explains functional programming in the abstract. Instead of going into the details of any one functional language, gives examples of how various functional languages implement the various core ideas of functional programming.

So, explain functional programming concepts such as pure functions, referential transparency, functors, monoids, monads, effects, lazy evaluation and so on, not in the context of any specific language, but giving examples from multiple functional languages.

In other words, focus on functional programming in general, instead of one specific implementation of it. I have been looking for such a textbook or course, but it doesn't exist.

I think this is a key insight. Human exceptionalism is, in my opinion, an extremely flawed assertion based on a sample size of one, yet it is widely accepted. Actual evidence does not support the idea that awareness of self and other “hallmarks of intelligence “ require anything more advanced than an insect, or perhaps even fungi.

I think both exoskeletons and prosthetics suffer from similar issues. To reach affordability, you need unit volume. To get unit volume, you need an initial user segment capable of paying what such a device currently costs. In computing, for example, there's always someone willing to pay for bleeding edge, which then paves the way to price reduction. With these, there just isn't much daylight between prices where basically no one can afford it, and prices where everyone who needs one can.

People like you are the best hope. Independent inventors aren't bound by manufacturing economics.

Side question: how much power does it take to run existing, mobility oriented exoskeletons?

I think this one as applied to COVID is some mix of fear and human logical frailty. I can only imagine the hue and cries that we'd get if "Hospital XYZ isn't even testing all their patients for COVID!" came to light. That could be used to feed into the "COVID is a hoax!", "Insurance companies are evil; we need single-payer so that costs don't become an obstacle", and many other narratives.

I think the problem with this debate isn't about how much people have worked in the past, but more about what actually is work.

For example, in today's society we do not think of basic chores like laundry as work, but in the past laundry was far more labor-intensive due to the lack of washing machines. Is repairing your broken furniture or clothes work? Is preparing your own food work? Those things are trivialized in today's advanced capitalist societies, but might have been a substantial part of life for people in the past. Nowadays most people seem to just buy new furniture and clothes, and even food preparing has been substantially trivialized by resteraunts, orders, takeouts, and readymade meals, so we're probably much more prilvileged than they were. But did the medieval people saw all of this extra work as "work" in today's sense? (Graeber's famous book ("Bullshit Jobs") kinda touches on this aspect in the end chapter, but I wish he've delved a bit more on it. There's a whole anthropology of work that's left unexplored...)

I just think that even the conception of work itself might have been too different to compare medieval society's work hours to today's. We in modern societies are too accustomed with wage labor, to even imagine that these people might not have even thought about tracking the hours they were "working".
I guess it all depends where you make the "OS" stop :)

Yes, it's this. After the collapse of the western Roman empire, the standard of living dropped to bronze age levels in many areas, well below where it was before the Romans took over. Assuming a similar decline after modern civilization collapses (to say pre-industrial revolution levels), I don't see how it's possible to get back without the easy surplus energy. It's much more complicated to build batteries or nuclear or solar than it is to make a steam engine.

Uh, what? The UI framework story is pretty simple.

There used to be frameworks specific to each platform (AppKit, UIKit, WatchKit...). SwiftUI replaces those with a cross-platform solution, but it's not all there yet.

Catalyst is basically a sort of stop-gap to let devs easily convert Cocoa Touch apps for Mac.

Long-term, SwiftUI is the only thing that will matter.
I don't have a case to defend. I'm indifferent to people being pro or anti crypto. The only thing I did is to point out the agenda at work, and the limitations of the claims made: zero nuance, always hides from defending his case.

The guy hates crypto. A normal person would declare that and move on. He makes it his life work to hate crypto. He's consumed by it. That's anti-crypto maximalism.

From what I read looking into the situation, it is barely enough to run the car at highway speeds in general.

The attempted coup was certainly a critical moment as well. It was passed when it became evident many of the protesters fighting back against the coup were political opponents of Erdogan. Hopefully that's settled one particular question - no more coups, even if it's against your political opponents.

The coming election is I think another legitimately critical tests. It's not great that Turkey faces multiple critical tests, in a relatively short period of time in the grand scheme of things, but the important thing is it passes them.
But the issue is that drivers of large vehicles are typically less aware of pedestrians. So how can I as a pedastrian be responsible for the situational awareness of the SUV driver? It kills me just as much if they are not aware of me.

I think other solutions would work just as well, just add sidewalks so roads become smaller, or make users of large SUVs pay for the cost of killing pedestrians.

>I live in an area where a high clearance SUV or other large vehicle is a necessity for navigating many of the roads. Why should I, and others like me, suffer for the externalities occurring in cities (this seems to pertain to) where I will never drive?

I don't know where you live but most SUVs are not really made for off-road use either and there are plenty of high clearance smaller cars around. Moreover, let's turn the question around, why should pedestrians pay (with their lives) so that some people in remote areas and many city people who want to feal like a outdoor cowboy can drive SUVs?
