There will always be certain costs associated with doing business in the West that don't appear in places like China. The most well known one being worker's rights. Even if you come up with some sort of "nuanced" miracle strategy that can make the west competitive whilst maintaining workers' rights, you probably can't prevent China from copying it and yet again being at an advantage due to labor law differences.

One concrete thing I would 100% advocate though, which I guess is an example of a "nuanced" strategy as you alluded to:

Gimp / legislate away white-labelling of foreign products and drop shipping-like businesses. These have had a huge "spam" effect on products and consumer's brand-awareness that it'd be so worth it. It's made people unable to discern quality which is a huge win for places like China that at the bottom-end of the price spectrum simply don't have the quality we expect and would usually want to avoid by virtue of paying more.

To me, it's not a checkbox so much as it is a tri-state progress bar: no progress, some progress, complete; and also the outlining of them sounds much like a compressed gantt chart [0].

Like I said in a comment further down below, I think my initial reaction and post were way too harsh (i.e., not constructive and cynical), sorry for that. It's great that you're taking the initiative and trying to build something, and I wish you all the best with it.

To be more constructive: I personally feel that such efforts have an easier way of getting of the ground if you first build consensus with a smaller group in private. Ideally this would include some of the influential people in this sphere, (devs of larger projects in the space, cloud providers, famous rustaceans, ...). Otherwise the initiative does not have a lot of credibility (because it hinges on the words of someone most people will not have heard of).

I find some of the wording weird in many places:

1) It gives the impression that this is an already established organization, when in fact it is merely a call to action.

2) You never actually say what you are trying to do. Even after all of this, I'm still not sure what you want to create. A community? A main code repository? A specific technical solution? You say you want to "enable the usage of Rust in the cloud". But that's super vague. I can use Rust in the cloud today already, so what are you _really_ after? And _how_ are you going to achieve that?

3) Putting the Code of Conduct front and center in your "approach" is just super weird.It's great that you have one, but it should ultimately just be a footnote. If someone asks you "how do you play hockey?", you don't answer: "well, there are strict rules about fouls, and if you commit one, you'll have to go on a time-out". Yes, there are some rules you'll need to follow, but that's not the main point of the game.

The most important phrase in that whole link:

in proportion to their impact

Perhaps if software teams didn't write such shitty software it would be easier to qualify things like profit sharing and equity. I would certainly prefer to have half the salary if that means I were earning a nice slice of the quarterly profit.

Unless you are selling software to a customer software is always a cost center. It is a tool, a means to end, which may enable business down the road but at any moment is just a money sink. That said it is generally lower risk for all parties to allow developers to write shitty software than attempt to connect software releases to revenue change.

In the world of web most developers I have worked with over my nearly 2 decades toil in configurations and composition. There is little or no application creation, and the application creation that does occur does so by a few internally trusted individuals irrespective of their pay or title.

To be very clear shitty software decisions almost always come down to a single question: Is a given decision primarily focused on business goals or developer preferences. For example is Spring MVC, Angular, or whatever a consideration because it will save the company $10 million over the next 2 years or is it because the company is more invested in hiring developers than internally training them?
In C# it is very simple to implement a generator using the 'yield return' and 'yield break' statements. Also LINQ is based on generators, allowing you to write rather complex queries with relatively compact code.
I don't know that it will actually happen any time soon. I don't think South Korea wants the burden of modernizing the North and despite what most coverage indicates, I don't think Kim Jong-un is crazy enough to actually start a war. As long as Kim doesn't die or get killed, I think North Korea will sadly remain as it is for a long time.

Ha, 200,000€, you'd be lucky to get even land for that. Have you looked at housing prices recently? You can maybe get this in Saxony in a village somewhere where you need to drive 20km to the next supermarket or doctor. In my city you don't even get a 60m² apartment for that.

The Arbeitszimmerregelung is only valid for 2020 and 2021 and only up to 120 days/year. You typically work 220 days a year. In 2022 it's back to door-or-bust.

I live in a big city, I can walk to work and pay a relatively high rent for a small apartment, I can claim 0.35€ per day, about 77€/year. Meanwhile a friend of mine commutes over 50km, living in a big house. They are quite happy each year to get about 4,000€ back. It's government funded pollution.

Interesting, I've definitely seen a normal sized house fridge with a fan on the hot side, but I don't know what is typical.

Current generation probably not, but there's no reason these can't be your typical $20 computer case fan, especially on the hot side where there's no worries about condensation... for peltier elements you could even stick a off the shelf CPU heat sink on top (though presumably at scale you would build the heat sink custom).
I wonder if people have come around to the touchbar. It was almost universally derided on HN when it became a thing. Personally, I haven't, which is one of the reasons I'm glad I switched to the M1 Macbook Air which doesn't have the touchbar. Now I can change the volume and the brightness without having to look down!
Both air & water are fluids (same equations can be applied to many problems). Equating them in the discussion about aliens is not a step too far which it doesn't require much imagination (compare it for example with an idea of a living nebula that might require some knowledge what is entropy, what is life in terms information, etc)

Compare the fall of the US dollar, 100 USD dollars from 1913 now have a purchasing power of less than 4 dollars. [1]

When talking about the USD, it isn't a question of if the USD went to zero, but when people stop using it entirely in international trade, and it actually becomes worthless. It is currently on artificial life support, but there isn't any sustainable way to continue that.

The cost of yet another war of U.S. aggression would send the dollar into a final value implosion. Yet if you peek at Gettr.com, war propaganda against China is everywhere. It's not just the Republicans, a few years ago "Madame President" held a public speech in a park, and declared war on both Russia and Iran for no particular reason. Iran is backed by China, perhaps because Iran hasn't started any wars. YouTube has "helpfully" one way or other deleted the video of that talk.

The history of Rome is repeating, unless the Federal Reserve is shut down and replaced with a non-criminal central bank, without private profit interest.

Ok, but as you point out it's not a unique in transferrability - once you've transferred that crypto in the end it's still crypto - you can't live in it or even use it to make jewelry. Locking in your mortgage payment is an inflation hedge and you get a house to live in. Millennials are into the peak home buying years and are now the largest generational cohort. Add to this that we haven't built enough housing to keep up with population growth over the last dozen years or so and this is why housing has gone up so much.
>This is seemingly in opposition to your statement. I think the diff comes from considering all the other energetics - precipitation of CaO from the hydroxide is thermodynamically quite favorable, reducing the overall theoretical cost by 65% relative to the chloralkali process. So to the extent that Heimdal can usefully harness that energy gradient, that's the difference.

I guess the crux of my argument is that it is impossible[0] to capture the energy from CaO precipitation. E.g.[1] one has to spend 2J of electrical to create the hydroxide in Ca(OH)2, but the 1.5J get released on precipitation of CaO comes as heat[2], rather than a reduction in energy input.

So, in summary, Electrochemical CaCO3 would have [approximately] equal theoretical electrical demand to chloralkali and, to borrow your term, a higher reality factor overhead[3], to make a product an order of magnitude cheaper than NaOH.

[0]For a loose definition of impossible, to be fair reality's never quite so black and white.

In case you're wondering why you're being downvoted, the forum post is referencing reporting on an investigation and suit by a California regulatory agency[0].

NYT:

>After a two-year investigation, the state’s Department of Fair Employment and Housing said in a lawsuit filed Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court that Activision fostered a “‘frat boy’ workplace culture.” Executives sexually harassed women, the agency said, and male employees openly joked about rape and drank alcohol while engaging in “inappropriate behavior” toward women at their cubicles during events known as “cube crawls.”

>The lawsuit added that women were routinely paid less than men for similar work and were less likely to be promoted.
...
>In one case, the lawsuit said, a female employee died by suicide during a business trip, as a result of her sexual relationship with her male supervisor. Before her death, male colleagues allegedly shared explicit photos of the woman, the lawsuit said.

Nitpick: From the PoV of the (public tech) employers, they typically look at compensation not including appreciation of the restricted stock. It's typically "base + bonus + new stock grant value" or sometimes "base + bonus + value of the restricted stock that vests this year, but using the value at GRANT time, not at VEST time".

More specifically as an employee, I think any incremental value from holding the stock is not compensation FROM the company, since the employee equally has to carry the risk of stock prices going down.

Of course, practically, one's cash flow in any given year is "base + bonus + actual value of the stock that vests in the given year" and can be vastly different from how the company does compensation planning. And this is also what determines income taxes (unless I'm bizarrely mistaken about how income taxes work in some jurisdictions).

Having been a manager at multiple public tech companies, I'll say that this has led to very many 'interesting' comp conversations and not everyone comprehends the distinctions here -- regardless of what's arguably more 'correct'.
In Portugal, you basically open the app, scan fingerprint to give permission and get a new card.

You can even scan the card via webcam or copy the details to clipboard.

The virtual card also limits itself either to single transaction or single store so it can't be used even if compromised on store level.

It's pretty simple process (<30sec) and it's really useful.
Money itself is not "functional" in this sense; the point is that real estate provides value and a function other than value.
I don't think workers' entire skillsets are obsoleted by any of those changes, unless you specialized in trend-chasing (obvious risk) and maybe if you refused to board the NoSQL train.

This is an interesting topic because BM claims to have a moral compass and is only interested in targeting wealth not impacting humans. Let me ask the question: “if companies paid for in-house security professionals competitive with what one might imagine BM pays, would people still choose the grey work?”. I presume in a dichotomy between clearly unethical and ethical, it’s easy for many to choose ethical. But when you add a grey option, it certainly changes things since I imagine most people are ethically grey. Let’s assume what BM is doing is effectively legal in the country where they operate.

Yes, I think the debt brake should be removed. Although one could also change the restrictions the debt brake so that it allows to take on debt for investments that lead to more growth.

The debt brake can be "disable" though, this is the case right now for COVID and Peter Bofinger has made an interesting argument that one might also be able to do this for investments to defeat climate change by declaring this is a natural disaster. Although anyone who tries that probably has to make that argument to the constitutional court.

The Seoul subway [1] opened its first line in the mid-1970s (8km of line 1). Most of their subway growth opened in 1995 and later, a huge amount post-2000.

The first Tokyo subway line [2][3] opened in 1927, with only 3 new lines since the late 1970s (and barely even any line extensions in the 2000s)

> I do not see another plan than more invasive ads

I think right now making the tech affordable (through subsidy/ads/whatever) to get it in the hands of people and get the creative ideas flowing is great.

That said, I agree and i'm sick of ads. My smart TV has ads, Apple is integrating ads and now even my f*king electric toothbrush tried to send me ads so i can't wait for this trend to die.

I personally think that VR/AR is cool and will be big, but right now no one is sure how to use it, so everyone is painting as big a picture as possible to push a "complete vision" even if it sucks - the path will change soon enough. If you play VR games, many games have different modes of transport and interaction in the VR world. Most modalities suck. No one is quite sure how to acchieve it in a natural way (and without motion sickness). We're still in the learning phase, but i'm sure the market will eventually find a good solution and we'll find what works in VR. The more people excited about it and the more people with VR headsets the faster we'll figure these out.

> a prohibition on the commercial trade — that is to say, specifically the for-profit exploitation of society at large, which is the raison d’etre of the insecurity industry—rather than the mere development, production, or use of exploit code.

If the "use of exploit code" is protected then why bother? The law would have to prove an unauthorized use or "for-profit exploitation" of code, and at that point it doesn't matter if it's exploit code; any code could be used for unauthorized use.

Worse this would put corporations at the center of what's an exploit. Every time a company makes software there could be someone arguing that its an exploit or makes unauthorized use (of info or computing). Companies already avoid the GPL when they can because of legal FUD and this would extend those fears to all software they release. The Sony CD rootkit [0] was clearly over the line but what of iTunes encrypting local music files? Apple locked you out of your files by encrypting them and then offered to sell you the key -- sound familiar?

Commercial trade isn't the right definition. Exploit code is: using or bypassing an API in an unintended manner (for the benefit?, or to the detriment?, of the owner.)

VS Code extension to improve typing using code from 12 programming languages
I believe I’m only ignoring one guideline but then again I don’t think it matters. Why is everyone more concerned with scolding someone than partaking in discussion? I am under the impression this community might just be too sensitive for me and hasn’t quite matured enough to look beyond face values. The guidelines make that pretty clear. You have also “broken” a guideline by not assuming good faith in my argument assuming I’m here to actually dismiss his story. He already did that by prefacing that he wouldn’t disclose further until they retire. It was pointless drivel that felt like roleplaying because they didn’t contribute any anecdotal evidence to keep the discussion around the use of PIs to harass opponents.
