I partly agree and disagree with your comment. It is true that the article says

> that "Longtermism" is weighing purely hypothetical future things more than present things

(please forgive the splicing). That is an accurate representation of longtermism as far as I can tell, because the future is inherently hypothetical (we don't know it yet).

But this is not arguing that longtermism is true, or false, or beneficial, or harmful. It's just stating its content, and expecting that the reader becomes disgusted by it.

The reason I spliced your comment is that the part

> (and basic incalculable)

is not necessarily true. The article does not really argue for or against the proposition of whether we can estimate the amount of future lives with any accuracy.
Yeah and the raids are generally good but everything else is, well, trash. Coincidence?

Also, Blizzard tends to over-focus on the behaviour of Mythic raiders who are like 1% of the population. And I don't mean they cater to their needs. I mean they burden everyone because of perceived "abuse" that would otherwise occur were something not in the game (eg conduit energy).
If you work for a big company, there's not much out there to work on that's not in the competition space of the employer.
This is awesome!

I would argue that all revolutions/wars are not ideological, there is always underlying economic component to it.
Fun read! I feel like that’s one of the first thing you learn out of college that’s a bit of a rude awakening. While ideas are fun, economics kill during execution. Without a scalable product that solves the right problem, it’s pretty hard to make a good product (unless you get VC money and sell things at a lost anyway).
This just proves my point.

We had an "automated" pothole filler, in my town. When they purchased it, there was a bunch of hooplah. They had a news crew, in front of my house, showing it off. It spritzed asphalt into the pothole, tamped it down, then went on to the next one. All automatic! There was a driver, but he looked really bored.

Months later, I have only seen one (probably the same one they demoed in front of my house). It was clearly defective. The crew was using it to dump the asphalt, and they were tamping it down manually.
If you don't want to take responsibility for your previous statement that Musk is incompetent at engineering, we don't really have anything to talk about. I will not deny that he is good at raising money, nor that Tesla might be overvalued, nor etcetera.

IMO, it was certainly not clear in your initial comment that "Musk is an incompetent engineer" (here paraphrased) was meant to be a paraphrasing of other sources and not your own stated opinion.

Nginx does that natively. The key is the file name and the store is the disk. You can transform URLs using config files, if needed.
You are changing targets from a claim that a gold standard made boom bust cycles more frequent to a gold standard causes collapse during crisis.

The benefit of gold is that it is inflexible. To expand the monetary supply more gold is required, or debt against the stock of gold is taken on. There is a limit to the amount of expansion that can happen with a gold standard. That is a good thing. It protects the wealth of people from inflationary policies of government. With fiat we have a dollar that purchases 1/21st of what it did in 1933.

Banks will be banks but they also want to keep customers and stay in business. A single bank failing due to their bad practices is preferable to an entire nation failing for the same reasons.

I maintain that government is the cause of these crisis. All businesses, including banks, operate in an environment created by government. When the government removes the risk of a market with subsidies or easy credit, businesses and banks make riskier investments. When those risky businesses and loans fail a bust happens. Can this happen without government? Sure, but the scope is limited.

Fractional reserve banking causes collapse during a bank run crisis. When all depositors come to collect their money the bank just doesn't have it. It doesn't matter what the base money is. Had full reserve banking been practiced a bank run would not ever have been an issue.

Encryption today is pretty much requirement for any regulated businesses and required practice for any sane shop, with or without Kubernetes. The only difference is that those services are communicating within the cluster internal network and not across different machines in the servers vlans.

If anything, setting up the whole things within Kubernetes ecosystem can be much easier with the available operators and automation frameworks like cert manager and/or Istio.
But in this scenario nothing stops the company to disclose the salary only themself.
The actual infraction isn't that important (I just interpreted they meant some infraction), but what is important is that they stated the foul happened after the interception, so it could not be OPI, as that must occur after the QB throws and before the player intercepts.

Edit: I think we just took what was more important for the OPs point differently. I took the point as a penalty occurred, not a specific one. And you see it as "how could holding have happened". Which, if we are being pedantic, also wouldn't happen in the scenario you described. If it was called holding, it would have had to occur before the pass, making it not OPI. =).
The thing is, many countries have cultures based on opposition. There's a reason most national days are celebrations of an independence war.

Do you mean like NYC? Literally the city built on large scale immigration? Also the state of California. Houston, Texas is the most diverse city in the country and you can buy a house for less than the national average. There are hundreds of millions of people in the US who own homes and raise families on entry level jobs, the just don't live in high cost of living areas. That's not to say their lives are all perfect and rosy but its possible. I'm not denying housing affordability is a problem, it absolutely is but narrowing your view of America to SF when it is the most extreme example is a little disingenuous. My hometown has tons of people where 2 parents work slightly above minimum wage jobs and own homes and raise families. It's 2 hours from 2 major cities. You can absolutely have a good life without making a ton of money. Now healthcare... that's a separate issue.

I'm not sure where you're getting your news on America but martial law isn't being declared anywhere. Most of the country is relatively peaceful and people are happy - https://news.gallup.com/poll/351932/americans-life-ratings-r...

If there are simply not enough jobs in Greece, that means the economic situation isn't great. A highly functioning economy should be produces lots of jobs as businesses grow and expand. I'm not arguing Greece should take more immigrants though, you sound like you don't want them and neither does your country. I would be happy for America to accept all of them, refugee or PhD Scientist, but unfortunately the political situation at the moment doesn't allow for that.
You're leaving out some serious costs incurred by your company and team. The loss of institutional knowledge, the loss of expertise, business process knowledge, personal relationships that could make hard changes much easier. Sure, you hired someone for $X instead of $X*1.2 but in terms of work done you probably missed out on a lot and came out way behind.

> It's only higher than almost any of the institutions that they are asking about in that poll [...] I would guess

This is pure speculation. 72%, at a minimum, undermines the notion that there is "fairly broad consensus now" about viewing Amazon unfavorably. The fact that they poll higher than many government organizations seems especially relevant on an article about the NRLB.

People mistake their own feelings (and the feelings of their social groups) for the consensus view. Polling can clarify when our perceptions of consensus are incorrect.

> IMO, it was certainly not clear in your initial comment that "Musk is an incompetent engineer" (here paraphrased) was meant to be a paraphrasing of other sources and not your own stated opinion.

Fair. But I assure you it was made with respect to the information in the article.

I do admit that I happen to have heard this story before, years ago when it was first reported. But reading this long-form story here reminded me of that opinion of mine, and I do believe the proof is in this article as it stands. The additional details in this article (and maybe the book its trying to sell) don't give me much confidence in Elon's engineering skill at all.
>generally understand and care how they are perceived

Personally, I do care how I am percieved. I want to be a legitimately good person. However, we sometimes do things that make it look like we don't care what others think of us because it doesn't always occur to us that what we are doing isn't normal. Even when beforehand we think of what a normal and appropriate thing to do might be we could totally miss the mark and do something weird that gives the impression that we don't care.
Happy to comment. We've been working on this for several years now and we're super proud of what we see people building and deploying.

The question is a bit general, so let me just give you some related facts.

- Because more than half our customers use this in a battery-powered way (such as a tracker), the normal operating mode (json-configured) is "normally quiescent" (~8uA draw) with the modem powered off completely. You program the sync period and can also kick off syncs manually, for example if you sense an urgent condition.

- In this "periodic mode", syncs are usually take about 15 seconds to register, 1 or 2 seconds to sync, and then hanguup. If you configure for TLS it sends about 4KB for the TLS session setup, and if you don't care about on-wire encryption you can use straight TCP at about 1KB. A half dozen reasonably-sized JSON notes compresses to about 250-500 bytes on the wire.

- Many customers don't use it battery-powered - such as embedding it inside an air handler or generator, etc. When in this mode, you can configure (JSON) it to be connected in a "continuous" mode. Not much downside - just a 1 packet (40 byte TCP header + 1 byte) for a ping every 20m for robustness.

When in continuous mode you get "instant sync" upstream, and get a bonus feature: If you use an HTTPS (JSON) API to send an inbound message to the device, it syncs instantly to the device.

- Our packets are so tiny that nobody ever thinks about actual modem bandwidth. However, you'll notice it when you're using it for firmware update. (We support DFU of modem, of our firmware, and of your own host MCU's firmware.)

We have 2 primary SKUs for the product: our "Narrowband" SKUs based on BG95 which support three RATS: LTE Cat-M1 (~375Kbps), LTE Cat-NB1 (~64Kbps), and GSM (~100Kbps).

For $10 more you can buy our "Wideband" SKUs based on EG91 which supports LTE Cat-1 4G/LTE, 3G, and GSM. These go up to 10Mbps.

Hope you find this interesting.

Actually working more than the bare minimum in an environment where hard work is not rewarded, is the second most sensible thing to do, after leaving. Should you work hard so some shareholders can buy a yacht? It is the job of management to reward and incentivise hard work, and not the job of individual contributors.

Fighting over surpluses is a very healthy dynamic, it’s a mechanism for individuals and organisations to understand the importance of each other’s contribution, produce price signals and improve the efficiency of the system. Instead pretending that a salary negotiated 10 years ago still matches the value of my contribution produces all sorts of distortions (eg productive employees being blocked in less productive organisations).
>Please reference a law to support your claim.

Later this year is a possibility. The (hopefully) final prototype is currently being built. We already have stock of the long-lead time components (TCXO, R820,RTL2832U), and the updated software is already working. The only downside is that the initial production run will be for only 1000 units.

Yes, they're fundamentally contradictory.

You seem to be implying that ideas and goals about preserving and benefit humanity indefinitely are somehow only benefiting a subset of humanity, or worse, are used to harm some subset of humanity. Anyone looking to twist such ideas or goals to only benefit themselves or a subset of humanity should be called out on that. But right now you're attacking the entire concept over your perception that it only benefits the rich, or perhaps some other subset of people.

By all means, attack inequality. But let's work to fix it. The response to "other people have nicer things than me" should not be "people other than me shouldn't get to have nice things", it should be "more people should get to have nice things". That's even more critical when those things are fundamental improvements and safeguards of people's lives. Let's raise the baseline for everyone, rather than focusing excessive energy on cutting down the tall poppies.

And science fiction has a way of inspiring and driving science fact.
Modern companies are intensive responsibility-laundering engines. It's practically their primary function. That's always been a little true, but it's gotten a lot worse (at least in the US). It's a bunch of box-ticking so you can say "look, I did something!" if anything goes wrong—some of which box-ticking may require creating and hiring for new roles—and it's a downright miracle if the box-ticking activity provides any amount of useful value to anyone, aside from its value for responsibility-deflection.

IIRC, NPR ran a piece some years back covering how something similar happened to US military command (and, relatedly, its relationship to civilian oversight), some time between WWII and Vietnam, getting worse over time after that. Which, if that was accurate, is... worrisome. But that explains how you get a directionless and constantly-failing war in Afghanistan for nearly two decades, with non-stop reports of "yep, we accomplished the mission!" from every local command at the end of every deployment, and everyone in the command hierarchy just pretends everything's fine even though they know it isn't, and they are all allowed to do that with no consequences. Gotta evade, and launder, responsibility. That's job number one. Everything else is just a nice-to-have.

For some reason I don't think he should be the one worrying about being associated with his online comments.
I hardly think "owning stock" is the goal, rather than "receiving compensation". Vesting schedules that backload compensation to discourage quitting early are hostile to employees, and makes them feel unfairly "locked in" because they lose a disproportionate amount of their unvested compensation relative to the percentage of the vesting period that they have spent working.

By comparison, Facebook vesting is evenly spread across four years, with refreshers granted every year, so that people can expect to receive relatively stable compensation for as long as they stay at the company. There's no "bad" time to leave when it comes to your vesting schedule, so you don't feel "locked in" for anything beyond the total value that you'll always be leaving on the table, regardless of when you leave. Refreshers don't even have a vesting cliff anymore, so you don't even feel the need to stick around for a particularly good batch if you don't want to.
The 'update all the things all the time, maybe there will be regressions, but hey vendors should fix' em' is maybe hearable from a cloud-continuous-delivery standpoint, but not everyone can and should do that. And getting fixes also comes its lot of new features with their unchecked security surfaces, enabled by default...

What I'm also hearing here is 'vendors shouldn't work on their branch but contribute to main/stable branches' and I'm here wondering how you can ever ship anything tested (since it's part of the subject) with this lack of control of branch history. Starting from something you know works, and increasingly upgrade/fix is the only manageable way to ship something as complex and untested as upstream Linux.

The solution is 'add 4 guys to your team and fix our coders' bugs before they ship'? So, fun coding and good PR for some, drudge of shitbugs and abuse on lkml for others.
> That's why it's gated in most distros by default.

Debian used to gate them behind a sysctl, but that's changing in the upcoming Bullseye release:

"The previous Debian default was to restrict this feature to processes running as root, because it exposed more security issues in the kernel. However, as the implementation of this feature has matured, we are now confident that the risk of enabling it is outweighed by the security benefits it provides."

This sounds great in theory. Up until my last job, this is the philosophy I lived by. When I leave, I want that the only thing they miss is my personality. But it is never the case.

When you announce you are leaving, you turn from employee to liability. Especially when your departure comes as a surprise. I always felt the need to document everything, interview prospective replacement, even extend my notice to three weeks. But many times I see all my efforts thrown out the window the second I leave. It's not that what I leave behind is not valuable, it becomes the work of a quitter.

Once my position was replaced by an intern, another time my position had been completely eliminated.

When I leave again, I'll give good smiles and nod politely until my two weeks notice expire and I'll move on.

Edit: Also a great reminder, when your employer wants you to leave, you usually have to clear your desk immediately.

Can we start with unionizing the tech industry. Pay rates are fixed. You cannot promote someone fast or fire someone based on performance. Let's try that out and see what happens. I'm not claiming Amazon is saint, but the fact is their pay is better than most other competitors for blue collar work and there was a reason why employees overwhelmingly rejected the unionizing plan.
