No one knows anything about the financials of the thing but you do know what you're getting: A unique little handheld, with 21 unique-to-the-platform indie games, at known price point, and a promise that they're gonna try to put out seasons of games.

What you might get thereafter being entirely unknown (other than it being a device-bespoke set of games for some price) is exciting.

Maybe the subscription will be too pricey to stomach. Maybe they'll go tits up. Maybe it'll be a complete commercial flop.

Maybe, on the other hand, they've already sold 100,000 devices and manage an attach rate of 65% at $5 a month and they make that million a quarter to fund games. Maybe it's $20 a 3 month season and they've got even more in their pocket.

Who knows, but I'm still excited.
>Then management would fire anyone who joined a union.

No, then management would just not agree to contract terms, let people strike, and hire non-union replacements.
To me, it seems more like "this is how this isle of happiness exists despite everything" than "this is why the ocean of sadness exists".
It's all a matter of reading comprehension. People can have a passing knowledge of "something about Delaware" for the next 100 years and never consider that there are 55+ other jurisdictions under the US brand which aim to be competitive too.

All states, the district, the territories, and even reservations have incorporation laws. The reservations are very numerous and many have not even considered the possibility, just show up and ask them to pass your model incorporation law. This is the kind of opportunity that the US still has. (There are many jurisdictions that have passed good laws, but have incompetent and ill equipped executive branches. If nobody has ever shown up to form their super awesome business type, the public servants in the state might not actually know how to do it. Whereas places with validation like Wyoming and Delaware, can have turn around times of 24 hours for things they do often.)

The other way that the US is somewhat unique, in comparison to other countries, is that there is no way to incorporate a business at the national level. Only Congress can create corporations, one at a time, one law at a time, and Congress has never addressed or delegated this to change this reality. The national government derives its power from the states and has never bothered them over this. (They did recently pass some registry of business owners law though, but it's more of a feel good thing for activists than anything practical.)

The beauty of this is that the US has an easier time pointing its bullying efforts outwards, whereas all US jurisdictions escape scrutiny by the US or OECD or other multinational bodies that put "tax havens" on blacklists.

States compete for business, so this makes more and more favorable business incorporation laws pretty easy to get.

The last thing I'll say is that there are other countries similar to the structure of the US, where there are many obscure states you can actually create business entities in. Some countries have incorporation at the national and the state level, just because the separate jurisdictions passed the laws. Some countries you might not even notice are federations of smaller states. So again, its all about reading comprehension. The usefulness of this knowledge is that some countries brands might attract scrutiny now (ie. "Panama corporation"), while the state level version is completely benign to everyone because they just haven't seen the name and aren't allergic to it.
The eviction moratorium was effectively using the “wealthy” as a capital buffer, by delaying payments. The solution for refilling that buffer is to tax the “wealthy” and use their income to fill in their own deficit?

This is getting pretty circular.
> But search, email etc are like cars in the US.

The big players in search, email, social have a larger market share than the big car producers. There's no 'Google' or 'Facebook' of cars.
That and lumber is stored carbon while concrete releases CO2 (at least for now).
Nitrous oxide is 300 times more powerful in trapping heat than carbon dioxide and it lasts for 114 years in the atmosphere, and scientists aren't exactly sure how much nitrous oxide is released by thawing permafrost.
Oh, I'm not saying it's difficult (no clue whether it is). I'm saying that they have long words.
I also switched a few years ago, and found I actually cut myself less than the Gillette I had befote. When I do cut myself it bleeds more though :-)

I usually use Bic blades which you can get in pretty much any supermarket in Europe for 50c a pack. The blades are steel and the packaging is paper, so much better for the environment too.

The reason why I switched is worth mentioning. I was working abroad in another Western European country and couldn't find the blades for my specific razor. They had plenty of other Gillette blades, but not the one I needed (of course the blades are not interchangable with the head). I tried a few other supermarkets and it was the same. I figured ok let's buy a complete new razor, and in the supermarket there was a safety razor next to the other razors for the same price, so I figured I'd give it a try.
The other thing i'm currently struggling with is the slow parameter sniffing in SQL server. We would really like to switch to the official mssql-jdbc driver but the performance is abysmal:

My US county (Wake County, NC) has such a tax... worse even.

Each year I have to catalog every pencil, pen, paperclip and ream of paper in my office. The desk, tables, shelves, printer ink, bottle of windex, each of my books, even individual USB cables all need to be listed. I need years acquired and purchase prices for every little object owned by each of my 4 businesses.

Each summer, a tax bill shows up for my personal property.

I generally don't mind taxes. I really don't. But this one I hate. It's such a colossal waste of time that I can't even hand off to an accountant.

That puts all the power in the hands of this identity verification system. They could ban a product or person with no recourse, and be even more centralized (monopolistic).
Then they should’ve used “this doesn’t work for me”.

I guess that all depends on which government you're talking to, and where.

Here's my random question. Assume your process works perfectly, and truly represents a solution to the CO2 problem.

Some very wealthy person shows up at your door, and offers you and your partners serious money to put the entire idea and process into the public domain, and release all IP rights worldwide, immediately.

How much?
> Why did you link to it then?

It's important to show what the marketing material is - verbatim - and what kind of BS is being peddled by these people. Apparently, you didn't find it BS so I asked you to read up on it.

I am not following your logic in this entire argument chain. Let's move on.

We always did borderless prints on inkjets by including a tiny margin (IIRC ~3mm) and trimming that off.
The networking part especially may require some work.

There can be many environments and situations, and sometimes a component would block packets to be forwarded from one network or user to another.

You need to know a bit about networking to debug it.
If these are legit, I mean, if there are so many blatant errors in Ivermectin research, for example, things like

>"Digging into the site, you're immediately hit with this error. That's not how p-values work at all, any stats textbook will show you why this statement is entirely untrue"

then I cannot explain this observation in this debate with the author of https://ebm.bmj.com/content/early/2021/05/26/bmjebm-2021-111...

>This interview left me with a variety of thoughts which I haven’t managed to collate – but here are some impressions. Dr. Garegnani didn’t seem anywhere near as well informed on the subject as Kory – and although we shouldn’t judge a scientific discussion as a boxing match, in my opinion Garegnani seemed to be completely outclassed and out of his depth. More significant though was a deeper difference between the two which I find difficult to describe – I’m tempted to call it a generation gap, or a mismatch of values and priorities. Garegnani seemed to view the topic purely as a question of theory and methodology (although to be fair that may be his speciality), and appeared unmoved even after numerous compelling points made by Kory. In contrast, Kory appears much more pragmatic, much more experienced and well-informed, and more passionate about saving lives. Of course these differences do not necessarily prove one position to be correct, but I’ll let you judge this conversation for yourself.

So the question is, if there are so many errors as purported by these cherry-picked twitter allegations, what are people not putting them forward in an actual debate..
React also works quite similar, with the added benefits of async and single thread.

No, you aren't. Certainly someone might try to claim that it had been you. Worst case I suppose you could actually end up in court but that's true for pretty much any accusation.

I doubt it would be an issue in practice though. Far more likely is that you might inadvertently get caught up in a ban from the service due to the illicit content being linked to the account you recovered which would now be linked back to your metadata (IP address & etc) since you recovered it which would in turn link to your regular account.

NEver mind being expert for now, what are you interested in? As in, what sort of things do you write code to do, or if your interest is just in programming languages themselves, do you like making tools or thinking up how languages could be better, or...?
> (I'm unsure whether the school fixed it or Zoom fixed it after I made an angry tweet that went viral; whoever fixed it never bothered to follow up with me.)

Probably never were. It’s only lately that parents are expected to watch their kids every step until they turn 18. Back in the day you’d just tell them to go throw rocks in the well with the other village kids and come back at sundown
Yes. It's my preferred architecture for any non trivial system. The single biggest downside to it is it's really hard to find people with experience building event driven systems.

There's a bit of a training curve but it's honestly not that hard if people are willing and wanting to learn. You could level up a moderately experienced team in a matter of weeks to be able to work within a well defined event driven microservice architecture. The part that gets tricky and requires experience is carving out the boundaries and messages.

To answer the question about DLQs I think this is a valid critique. I've seen many places just set and forget DLQs and they might as well not have them. For me, I like to start each DLQ with an alert on every message published. Then manually inspect the message, trace the logs and figure out what to do from there. Once I have enough data on failure modes and paths to rectify them, you can start automating DLQ processing. In general though DLQs should not see much traffic outside of a system going down or poison messages hitting your services (broken schema changes from another service)

Because the entire idea that land can be junk leads to a rapid broadening of the definition of junk. Your NIMBY attitude of “out of sight, out of mind” is exactly how we ended up in this mess in the first place.
I absolutely agree with you, we are currently implementing a fully serverless and event-driven infrastructure and thinking about logging, traceability and debugging across 200+ lambda functions has been quite a pain. This is even more important as we manage financial flows.

We have written an article about how we try to fix that, if you are considering such an infrastructure on AWS feel free to read it:

https://medium.com/ekonoo-tech-finance/centralizing-log-mana...

I believe that this is one of the big tradeoffs that you make when choosing to go for a microservices and event driven infrastructure.

Regarding the original post question, we are indeed going all in on an event-driven infra, and so far it has been going not too bad, happy to answer any extra questions.
Yeah, this is why like another commenter had stated that it's so imperative influencers like Linus Tech Tips distilling how to install and first-time operate GNU/Linux to the casual tech enthusiast and gamer crowds that don't focus on software or free software movements. I'm hopeful to see this be the trend, especially if it goes to non-Ubuntu-based distros strictly to avoid monoculture in the ecosystem.
It doesn't on linux distros. It's dead easy to record DRM'd media, although it takes a little bit of oomph to not drop frames. This is why Netflix limits Linux to 1080p.
That is correct. All products pack for personal use is 25€ IIRC.
Yup, most of the comments here are by people who wouldn’t be caught dead shopping at dollar store since it’s “for poor people” yet they are happy to extol the ills of such a business and demand it go away to protect “poor people”.
My teenager doesn’t have use of his phone right now. He was complaining that he had no way to contact his friends. I pointed to the landline and he said that wouldn’t work since all their numbers were on his phone. Plus they would never actually answer a phone call - who answers phone calls? I suggested email. None of them check email. I suggested riding his bike to their house and talking to them in person. He was aghast at the thought. If smartphones went away, I think there is an entire generation or two that really wouldn’t know how to go on living.
It might be an interesting experiment to have each employee start their cycles (review cycle, or quarterly numbers for sales etc) on a random offset.

This is quite interesting, and I hope the course material will be made available for others (including myself) to check out.

> None of my students had a course in abstract algebra before. But they didn't need it to get their hands dirty and start playing around.

This really resonates with me, as a deep learning researcher who started out by taking the fast.ai course. The fast.ai course highlighted the same ideas of getting your hands dirty and exploring in a top-down approach. It's great to see how this sort of approach translates to other fields.
Bread! We should definitely regulate bread that way.

The point is not to buy a printer with only ethernet. But it should also have ethernet as fallback. I would recommend the same, now that my printer can't connect to any wifi anymore for whatever reason, but it works again since I connected an old wifi repeater via ethernet.
Yeah, this isn't really an issue; it's just a templating language. You can get an extension for your IDE to make it syntax highlight correctly. That's like saying a .js file is just a string. Um, yes I guess sure? All code is just a string. HTML is also just a string. Vue's HTML templating syntax is also just a string, but it's also code. It's code that's mainly HTML, with certain spots that allow full JavaScript. And just like normal code, you can have compile time errors, syntax errors, runtime errors, etc.

Also as a side note: I'd say the best thing about Vue isn't it's templating system, but the fact that it's truly reactive. In react, only rendering is truly reactive. If you have reactive variables that depend on each other, then you have to manually mark those dependencies. Vue can deduce that dependency graph automatically, which makes coding much easier. It's like a giant spreadsheet.
Yes. My university was using Fortigate back in the day and it had 3 behaviours

-Allow with no mitm (trusted sites)

-Block with no way around it(all residental IPs, pornsites)

-Allow but mitm the connection. The browser would present the classic ERR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER warning that most people would ignore. I couldn't figure out what criteria decided that a certain site needs the mitm treatment.
I pay for a cold calling service that lets me look up emails and phone numbers for many professionals of import. These days customer service gets two shots to get it right before I start calling the personal cell phone numbers of the C-suite, board of directors and everyone with the word director in their title. I'm absolutely over shitty customer service and it's not fair to subject customer service representatives to well deserved vitriol. Well paid execs getting the big bucks and making the decisions to under-invest in customer service and driving down defects? Fair game.

With the last company whose customer service messed up badly, I reached out to the head of e-commerce for the company. I was nice and pleasant and explained the dilemma, but then he tried to pass the buck back to support which did not have the resources to solve the problem to which I replied "You're the head of e-commerce for company X, the buck stops with you. This is your problem to resolve. If you don't take ownership, I'm perfectly capable of escalating this issue myself, first to A, your CEO (personal cell number (xxx) xxx-xxxx and personal email foo@bar.com), then to B (...), C (...), or D (...) on the board of directors, then E, the CEO of the company that owns your company (...), and then F, who is on his board of directors (...) and happens to live 2 miles from me.".

...boom, problem resolved immediately. Not just for me but for other customers. Changes were made to their website within days. When warranted, you just have to go absolutely nuclear and make it clear as day that solving your problem personally is far cheaper than you escalating the the issue to anyone and everyone with power at the company whose customer service is jerking you around.

You have to make the cost of not providing customer service well the first time around so expensive that they don't see any other option than to invest in doing things right the first time.
"The average user prints exactly one colour page during the lifetime of their colour printer. It is usually the test page."

> Now, the default assumption is you can call for help--which isn't always the case.

Exactly. I had an emergency situation where I needed to be taken to the hospital over a decade ago. I had a satellite phone on me, yet it was still difficult to get help due to a combination of satellite coverage (Iridium phones would have periods of no coverage due to satellite orbits) and just having a number to call (great thing about 911 is that it works from almost any phone in the US, except satellite phones).
