There is a rush to implement stuff though. The demand for functionality continues to grow, and if the platform stagnates developers and therefore users will move to other platforms.

It needs to be thoughtful, but the firefox position appears to be that web apps have no business accessing bluetooth or usb. Which as I explained earlier leads to user installing clunky native apps to interact with their bluetooth/usb gadgets, or the gadgets being deployed with phone home functionality so that user can still access them through a web portal.

If firefox wishes to remain relevant they're going to have to implement the things that developers and users want. Nobody wants a dumb document browser anymore, that ship has sailed. Browsers are a ubiquitous application platform.

Maven | Full-stack, Front-end Engineers | Remote (US timezones) | Full time | $120-$170k + equity | https://maven.com
Maven helps anyone build a cohort-based course and deliver an incredible student experience at scale.

Unlike small workshops or on-demand online classes, we integrate both live and asynchronous components to engage students without needing to scale up instructor time or support staff.

Our mission is to democratize education through online cohort-based courses. Right now, many experts and creators don't have the team, budget, or bandwidth to create a high quality cohort-based course. Inspired by the simplicity and power of tools like Shopify and Substack, we are building a platform that enables the best instructors to build the most engaging courses.

Our team of 12 has built and run educational experiences at Udemy, AltMBA, Minerva, Google, General Assembly, Socratic, and Shopify. We're backed by Andreessen Horowitz, First Round Capital, Naval Ravikant, Arlan Hamilton, and many more. We've launched sold-out courses for incredible instructors like Li Jin, Anthony Pompliano, Lenny Rachitsky, Sahil Lavingia, and more.

We're looking for our 2nd designer, and 6th and 7th engineers whose work will span across our system and will have a big impact on our product. We're experienced, ambitious, and supportive. We work with React/Typescript/Next.js, Python/FastAPI, AWS/ECS/RDS.

It would be interesting to use this technique to:

1. Map the topology of the brain (what the researchers have done here)

2. Run an MRI with IV contrast

3. View the MRI "unwrapped" according to the topology

I suspect the topology can be composed with other current methods that will make it much easier to identify regions of interest.

This isn't the case for me, it would take me quite a bit of time over a period of several weeks to update all of the places i use my card if I were using the same number everywhere and it was compromised. I handle a lot of billing. I've had cards compromised at least three times in the past and it's very unpleasant. (for me)
One of the things we want is a timescale that allows us to put a timestamp on a contemporary event, with the hope that in 2,000 (or 200,000) years, they will be able to work out exactly how long ago it was we were referring to.

GMT failed disastrously at that; there have been about 12 mutually incompatible definitions of GMT over the years.

So, UTC should retain leap-seconds; that's what UTC means. A new timescale, without leap-seconds, MUST have a new name.

I'm betting the ITU will just change the definition, without changing the name.

False dichotomy. The choice isn't mercantilism XOR IMF agenda, and I certainly did not speak up for the IMF agenda (and won't).

Financial repression is a thing in China. It's true that mercantilism has been better for Chinese people than the IMF agenda for anyone else. So what?

EDIT: It takes two to mercantilist: the perennial exporter and the perennial importer. Mercantilism has been good for the American consumer, and bad for American industry, so bad for America.

> Why is recognizing someone else's work so much pain?

Because its basically impossible to completely and accurately attribute the origin of all your knowledge. And it is impossible to verify that the source you think is the originator of your knowledge is the original creator of that knowledge. Odds are they learned it from someone else. It really doesn't matter, at all.

> This whole discussion is like if you train an AI to pick apples from a supermarket and leave them on the street waiting for someone else to take them home, and pretending that nobody is stealing anything.

No, because in this case the supermarket has lost apples. This is more like accusing street performers singing popular songs without permission of the songwriter of being thieves. Or an engineer studying a bridge and leveraging techniques used in that bridge.

decent feature. what do you find the most useful use case?
Pretty dismal discussion in here at the time of writing. Largely complaints about tyranny. Makes me sad that we can't have a calm discussion about the merits of the policy.

From what I can tell, you might be opposed to this policy if:

1. You have fears about getting a vaccine, moreso than for coronavirus. If this is you, do you prefer a mask mandate? And if so, how do you enforce this in a restaurant, where anyone eating takes off their mask right away?

2. You have fears about the privacy implications. If so, what are those fears? Perhaps your vaccination status can lead people to make inferences about your health?

3. You are not particularly concerned about the community spread of coronavirus (and the implications of that)

There aren't a lot of choices. You can 1) avoid high-risk areas and escape infection/spreading disease, in which case, this policy doesn't really directly affect you. Or 2) you can take your chances with coronavirus, which you will get sooner or later, and spread it. Or 3) you can "take your chances" with the vaccine which, statistically and biologically, is safer than getting coronavirus and reduces spread.

This policy allows people to choose from 1) and 3) but not 2), which is in all ways the worst decision. Unless, of course, you think that the vaccine is more dangerous than coronavirus. And then I don't really know what to say.

What's the problem? This seems like one of many applications of tech chasing very marginal gains.
The value of any max() would depend on the distribution, though.
It's been a few years since I looked at it, but I'd be interested to see the workaround the EMV partners finally used to do tokenization. Last I saw it some years ago, they were persisting what should have been single use keys (SUKs) for multiple transactions (calling them limited LUKs) so that they could handle an offline payment mode. Apple didn't have that problem because of their SE.

I'm sure there are lots of Android pay solutions, but the risk profile is very different, the solutions for it are limited, and keys in software has a catastrophic failure mode. What's very likely is Android payment solutions are taking a fraud management approach with some kind of government backstop, as from a technical security perspective, software has hard limits.

It's not a monopoly if it's only for university educated people who get access to exclusive services. You can start your own managerialist economy.
I don't like these kind of "insurances". It is very probable that when multiple banks go belly-up this could lead to serious inflation. You will get your money back in nominal terms, but what will you be able to buy from it? I even think that we should somehow count these "insurance" to the central bank balance sheet. If shit hits the fan the cb will sure as hell monetise the government debt needed to guarantee these amounts.

I'm thinking there should never be a conflict of interest between a person and commercial enterprise.

The websites you all listed are just vehicles for further speculation and gambling.

Gaining interest on cryptocurrencies by providing liquidity so other people can speculate on cryptocurrencies, prediction markets (literally gambling on cryptocurrencies), NFTs (speculating on infungible cryptocurrency tokens), and some virtual game where you can further speculate on NFTs with a touch of gamification.

Nothing seems to tie into any real world usefulness, everything ties back into itself where the core is always 'will the value of my internet coins go up'.

The only single useful thing cryptocurrencies can do is you can buy drugs from the darkweb, semi-anonymously, or maybe completely if you use something like Monero.
Nothing concerning really. Rates are low so people are purchasing homes.

US used to build a lot more new homes but things changed in 2008. We have been ramping up since but still are not where we were. This results in too little inventory driving prices up.

I wouldn't be so sure that EU and US will follow the Japanese scenario. In many regards Japan is a special case. On this subject I recommend reading Lyn Alden [0] and Princes of the Yen [1].

In many places and for certain purposes (the US and the EU for instance), geographical regions have one vote, regardless of their population size.

It’s unclear that an age-based distribution instead of geographic distribution would be worse. But it would probably be unrealistic to achieve without basically completely upending existing political structures.
I think it’s a classic example of myopically focusing on some aspects of a technology while missing the entire point.

You’ll hear about net benefits to society (like those are easy to measure), about power consumption (like all if a sudden everyone is an arbiter of the market and decided: too much power), about how it’s a ponzi scheme (without understanding what a ponzi scheme is). All talking point of the anti-cryptocurrency agenda.

Curious to see how/if this changes in the next 5-10 years.
Like many aspects of security, it's not about stopping every possible instance of a bad thing from happening, it's about making bad things less likely to occur.

If Saudi Arabia has to develop their own 0-day spying toolkit instead of buying one off the shelf, then at the margin they will be able to do less spying.

There's nothing stopping Saudi Arabia from setting up their own team to build such hacks, but it would cost them more. Further down the road, there's nothing stopping a bunch of smaller countries from teaming up to get the economies of scale that NSO brings by selling to multiple countries -- but these toolkits seem to be the sort of closely guarded secrets that even allies don't share (if the NSA is anything to go by they are more likely to use these techniques to spy on their allies), so I doubt that is very likely; could be wrong on that point though.

One aspect that is rarely talked about is that Excel is really good for developers who know about data/stats/business/databases but don't know about frontend app development.

Excel thrived in banks, not because traders used it, but because IT/Quant people used it. It's so much more straightforward to build a UI in Excel than with React. Just type things in cells, then wire them with simple VBA buttons. Of course there are things you can't do, but for the purposes of a bank, it's very rare that you find one.

So if I am a quant, I don't need to go to the frontend guy, trying to explain to him what a "vega" is and why I would want to multiply by notional/vol to change the units. This is a huuuuge time saver. And you can change your UI anytime. Just open the file, add a column, click save and it's done.

At some point, banks knew that fat-finger-mistakes could cost them fortunes, and the lack of auditing was terrible. But they had to force traders to switch off their sheets by threatening them with internal fines (we'll charge you $2m for running things with Excel). So traders complied, but then they got into years-long projects, to create shitty shitty web apps, that couldn't do half of what Excel had built-in. Every change would need to go through an approval process, and it's unclear whether these systems had less bugs than spreadsheet did.

The first thing they wanted when the project was done? "Give me a button to export to Excel".

For the shameless plug part, I am building a tool to try and bridge code and spreadsheet (https://www.jigdev.com). Lmk if you have comments/suggestions.

I think in tech 2-3 years is also about how long it takes for one's mental model of how the world works to become stale and outdated, usually coinciding with other projects (that had been too nascent to use) maturing.

I remember that in my peak webdev years in 2008, you built webapps by designing the HTML, converting it to templates, filling in data with Django or Rails, and then adding judicious interactivity with JQuery. By 2011 the world had moved on to Angular and SPAs, and you built webapps as a single HTML page and large JS bundle with a bunch of components that you'd fetch data for over AJAX. By 2013 the world moved on to React, and you had all these tools (Gulp, Grunt, Bower, NPM, etc.) to automate packaging and code-reuse. In 2015 people were still using React and more mature versions of these tools, but what changed was the economic reality that you could make lots of money as a webdev, and the industry itself was maturing with demand for new apps dying out.

I'm witnessing this with my team at work too. We have an "old guard" of leadership that joined the team in its peak years in 2018/2019, and learned (and often wrote) the tech stack as it existed then. Now our team is colliding with infrastructure efforts that started elsewhere in the company and were too immature to use last year, but are now starting to bear fruition and get widespread adoption throughout the org. People who were experts in the old way of doing things find that their skills and projects are now largely irrelevant.
This is the unfortunate truth.

There's not a single aspect of social opinion that can't be turned into a heated flame war, and stoked for what it's worth. Be that external powers getting this country to consume itself, or internal ones avoiding the formation of a coherent mob.
Thanks for response! That's basically what i ended up with!
Avro whenever possible and for python stick with pydantic. Except that at the same time i want to keep avro schema for those pydantic models and just convert them with fastavro, because then i dont have to rely on the quality of code/schema generators. A little sceptic about that though, as keeping the same schemas in 2 different technologies compatible and double (de)serialization might be troublesome.

Hi, author here.

My writing backlog includes a post defining what "good" looks like for a web service. I don't think most organizations are doing it well, or have their priorities straight.

Rumor has it that there is a 30+ page checklist if you work at AWS and want to launch a new service. Meanwhile, CloudFormation support still trails most new service launches and remains completely unavailable for many old services. These things suggest strongly that they are coding the area, not the perimeter.
It was an oculus exclusive at launch IIRC, glad to hear it isn't now though. https://www.mcvuk.com/business-news/superhot-vr-is-an-oculus...
"even Apple's" might make more sense here. They take a particularly strong approach to security and privacy, but no system or company is perfect

Heat is energy.

In summer, the sun (rudely) gives me excess unwanted heat in my house. I need to expend even more energy to get that heat from inside to outside my house. (We call this process "Air Conditioning".)

What would be ideal is if the heat energy could be converted into some other form of energy that I could dispose of. Maybe if I could turn it into electricity I'd put a lightbulb in my window and shine the converted heat energy away.

I don't really care if that process is inefficient because that heat was completely free and unasked-for. I don't need to do anything useful with the converted heat energy, I just want it gone. If the process of converting heat to a disposable form of energy can be done for less energy than air conditioning needs, then its worth doing.

I think they were referring to the fact that the state has the monopoly of violence: it is the only moral agent, in the country, with the right to kill without making it a crime.

> If you get a $20k increase every 2 years starting from $160k by hopping jobs, that's way more than your yearly 2%.

This isn't how it works. The $180K is the max I could get in my industry, and that's because the previous max in 2014 or so of $140K (which I did get) is basically tied to inflation or about 2.5%-3%. So while I've been getting 1.5%-2% raises for 7-8 years, I've been missing out on that extra 1.5%, which is where the extra $20K comes from that other companies might offer.

But if I took a job at $180K, I'm again up against the salary ceiling in my city and industry. There is no $20K raise to be had after another 1-2 years by jumping again. At best, I might get the full inflation rate raises, instead of being lowballed by a percent or two, and which the difference accumulates to a large $20K or so jump only after 6-7 years more.

> There's also a risk staying in the same company for very long: if you keep doing the same, using the same tech, you can become complacent and your skills irrelevant. At which point staying at your company is not really a choice anymore.

This is definitely true at most corporate tech departments. However, in the contracting world you can jump around to completely different projects and learn a lot of new technologies. So in that sense, I feel I'm okay. The big issue is that you're not exposed to best practices and large scales that you'd see at FAANG. But it's not as bad as being stuck on a single codebase in a single language and framework with a single CI pipeline for 7 years.
