I am completely baffled by the imposter syndrome talk.

Guess what? We are all imposters, all of the time! Our whole lives are filled with times we are thrown into situations that we have no idea how to handle, and the act of just living them makes us imposters.

Like who wasn't an fucking "imposter" the first day of kindergarten? Do you stress about that? How about first day of high school? Your First date? Yes without a doubt you could be classified as an imposter in all of these cases.

And yes...at times during work you are going to be expected to know more than you do, and its your fucking job to deal with those feelings and get shit done. That doesn't make you an imposter, it just makes you someone who need to learn something they don't know yet.

Why in the world would you bother to think that your being an imposter? I don't understand why you would waste even 5 seconds stressing about this.

You were almost surely hired not only for what you know, but for your perceived ability to quickly realize what you DON'T know, and then to research options and select the one that solves the current issue.

It's called "learning",,,not "imposter syndrome".
If it's vital for you, then the best option is likely setting up a private VPN server at a friend's place in the relevant country.
Sure... but you are talking about a pretty narrow slice of purchases (by quantity if not price) in the grand scheme of things. What makes this so universal and so visceral with blockchain products is that you end up in a state where even your most trivial purchases are now tokenized with some pre-sale and some kind of "play/stake/use-to-earn" monetization model attached to an underlying "asset" that people "trade" on a "market".
Nothing much to disagree with here. You can't take it with you, and since its probable the author of the Q has no direct children (if they are part of the story then it doesn't alter things much) the outcome when they die and no longer 'care' is going to be .. interesting.

If they don't consciously alienate their family in a will which is legally threat-proof, then the sister who they dislike may well come into a windfall.

Making the will is going to incur thinking about what to do with the money, which she can't contest in law. Probably, give her some non-tokenistic small amount (I mean like not 5c) and then remove her basis to complain. out of 55mil, one might do it.

I like how the A side of the Q/A said "give it to elder abuse charity" which goes directly to the personal complaint of Q in this. Nice play.

I think we've all wondered how well we'd cope with a windfall. I think this is as good as many, and a lot less bad than many, and maybe, not telling was the wisest course.

(I have known people 2-3 orders of decimal magnitude richer than me, and by and large as long as you accept the fundamentals across the canyon its ok. The ones who are less than one decimal order of magnitude can get a bit fraught because you really can do turn-about for shared experiences but you can't get the bottle of petrus they did, nor should you even try)

Note that technically this is wrong at least if you're talking economics. In economics, what defines investment vs consumption is that the consumption value is provided over time for investment instead of immediately for consumption: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Investment_(macroeconomics)

Investment doesn't imply positive returns. A squirrel hiding nuts in a cache to survive the winter is investing instead of consuming, even though some of these nuts will spoil or be stolen making the returns negative.

Note that GDP equals consumption + investment (sometimes the government and export/import components are broken down in the equation).

Do you have a helm chart for SeaweedFS, I have been observing it for a long time too.
Thanks for the tip. From a 30,000 perspective, it’s crazy that we have to go through the wasteful exercise of shipping gigabytes of video data up and down scarce residential fiber for no other reason than to tick a performative copyright box.
Many years ago, I worked at a small (3 US states) ISP, roughly 500-600K customers

This ISP was one that mostly absorbed smaller ISP's that weren't able to scale up enough to remain competitive.

One of the ISP's they absorbed was CondoInternet. A Seattle based firm that provided gigabit internet service across Seattle's affluent areas and expensive condos

As it turned out, a lot of the customers ordering the service hailed from a country with a very restrictive censorship regime. A "great firewall" if you will

They'd set up home-made VPN's using Raspberry Pi's etc for family to tunnel into and watch Netflix on typically

Netflix however even in 2017 was smart and their algorithm would see these thousands of people logging in while everyone else in Seattle was typically asleep and eventually ban the entire ISP's IP range. Logging in would give a "please turn off your proxy/VPN" error message

Every time this happened the ISP's phone tree would explode, going from mere seconds to literal 6-10 hour queue times. The NOC was entirely upskilled CS agents who had no idea how to contact Netflix's relevant teams to get the IP ban removed, instead they'd simply tell CS to have customers wait until the IP ban expired (usually a few days)

This would happen almost every other month

> Honest question, imagine if at your company tomorrow they decide to fire one principal engineer. Would you find it fair that the one is you? Would yo find it fair if you were among the 10% they fire? The 20%? The 30%?

That's an interesting thought experiment. Though not as straightforward as it sounds like at first.

For example, I think I'm pretty good at what I do, but I'm also pretty expensive.

But more importantly, companies don't have a good handle on people's performance. They have biased estimates, at best. See https://sockpuppet.org/blog/2015/03/06/the-hiring-post/ for an exploration of this topic from a hiring point of view, but it also exists to a lesser extent when people are already working for you.
At the national labs, you can basically walk out with proprietary technology, as long as it’s not classified, with many modules and processes dual use, where the civilian use has yet to be exploited. I’ve seen this done many times. Proof of concept is extremely expensive for the gov’t: rack mounted heavy-duty modules, premium subsystems bought from market leaders. A good engineering team can whittle costs by 90%.

Competitive PvE exists too (speedruns, world first races, etc). In FFXIV mods are less tolerated and while some raiders use triggers (TTS voice lines triggered by enemy actions or friendly buffs to tell you what to do), many consider it borderline or actual cheating, while others are fine with it because it's similar to having a player do it (ignoring perfect accuracy and no brain capacity used). So it's a controversial area.

I often find myself wishing for some sort of small scale durable log, so that this pattern was easy to implement in a small app backend without standing up something like Kafka.
A) Apple would probably be sued by their shareholders and users.

B) Making their app store useless wouldn't stop them from being obligated to allow 3rd party stores so this would drive users and developers to such stores

If they don't

C) It says developers would be entitled to 3x actual damages plus attorneys fees.

Damages could be as high as 318 million dollars per day a sticker shock fit to startle even a giant since it's more than their daily profit.

Imagine that:

- Netflix has a smaller/worse selection in the UK, than in the US, and

- Netflix charges more in the UK than in the US, and

- A UK person could easily get access to Netflix US by getting a friend in the US (or a US-based ebay seller) to set up their Netflix account

It would be nearly impossible for Netflix to comply with their agreements with content owners.

Limiting content based on billing address is easier to bypass than your post suggests.
In some sense, that's exactly the same as normal web-browsing:

> Amazon and Microsoft are also big. They do not decide what's on your phone.

I agree with your point, but just want to point out that Microsoft does similar things on Windows with Defender that Apple does on macOS with Gatekeeper, and both can be described as the companies deciding what does or doesn't get to run on your computers.

Both companies require you to buy certificates and remain in good standing with them if you want your software to run on Windows or macOS without a problem. Microsoft and Apple can revoke certificates whenever they want for any reason they want, and after doing so, Defender and Gatekeeper will prevent apps signed with those certificates from running on either OS.

macOS treats unsigned apps as if they're radioactive, and hides the ability to run them from the user. The switch to the M1 platform brought a new requirement that all apps must be signed as unsigned binaries won't run on M1 Macs. Windows Defender will also treat unsigned apps as if they're radioactive, and prevents users from running them initially.

If you want your apps to actually run on modern macOS or Windows systems without users thinking they're either broken or malicious, you need to pay for certificates and remain in good standing with both companies. Apple goes one step further and requires all apps to be Notarized, which involves uploading the app to Apple's server so it can analyze and approve it to run on macOS.

Right. The vibe in the SF Bay Area, is just amazing in terms of tech companies.

I'm in LA now, and "Silicon Beach" in Venice and Santa Monica is an utter joke compared to the entire Bay Area. Silicon beach is a few square blocks, whereas the entire Bay Area is awash in tech, no matter where you go.

Silicon Valley is entirely geared around tech. You can find anything and anyone there.

It is the same as Los Angeles to movies. You can't beat LA, because they have been doing it 100 years and have a zillion companies backing it up - all the little companies. There are oodles of movie industry lawyers, talent agencies, accounting firms, all geared to specifically the film industry. Are you going to be able to find 10 law firms in Silicon Valley or Chicago or Miami that deal exclusively in the entertainment industry? No.
The controversial section:

L — I like it if they already had a relationship at one point. Because then you don't have

G — I was thinking that this old guy could have been his mentor. He could have known

L — And he was forty-two.

G — He hasn't seen her in twelve years. Now she's twenty-two. It's a real strange
relationship.

S — She had better be older than twenty-two.

G — He's thirty-five, and he knew her ten years ago when he was twenty-five and she
was only twelve.

G — It would be amusing to make her slightly young at the time.

S — And promiscuous. She came onto him.

G — Fifteen is right on the edge. I know it's an outrageous idea, but it is interesting.
Once she's sixteen or seventeen it's not interesting anymore. But if she was fifteen and
he was twenty-five and they actually had an affair the last time they met. And she was
madly in love with him and he...
This entire thread is about which webview to use as an actual web view in an otherwise native application, not trying to use them as apps
Yes. Though there are a lot of techniques to hide latency.
There's a much deeper narrative here, which is that I feel there's an increased sentiment, across socioeconomic groups, that the investment with the greatest return is the so-called "hustle" - that unique opportunity, largely (so the myth goes) a function of your own motivation and not external factors, that will catapult you into wealth and status more vividly and transformatively than any annually-compounding index-tracking savings would do.

However often people in other times were shown pictures of celebrity, never before have we been bombarded so much with "started from where you are, now I'm a founder/YouTuber/influencer/multi-level marketing maven" stories. And in that context, anything that "centers" you on being able to sustainably hustle is an investment in the hustle. The gaming you do to wind down at the end of the day, the fancy dinner or vacation that will motivate you to want more of that lifestyle - all of it is an "investment" in your own mental state, no different than a business investing in good lawyers or accountants that can help avoid distracting drama. And hey, if you're in a position to actually turn that energy into concrete results, that's perfectly logical!

But it's not for everybody, and I do agree with the OP that companies are taking advantage of the positioning to encourage people to go into more and more debt. The influencer economy is certainly not a zero-sum game and there's certainly not a hard cap on how it can grow, but looking society-wide I worry that expectations are so far misaligned that things are going to come to a head.
There is massive political pressure on our leaders. Unfortunately It's not from the electorate, its from the people who live in the lobby (of 6 star hotels).
Thank you! Anyone know why the original audio isn't available?

Maybe, but most people who do have the option to save 70% of their take home pay don't. Perhaps our definition of what it means to live comfortably is partially to blame. I know a family of 10 that live very comfortably in a small 3 bedroom home, but most people wouldn't define it as comfortable for themselves.
Contracts with the owners of the movies are a factor: Netflix might not have the right to show a given film in your country. Their contracts with the studios might require them to try to enforce this.

> good thing about badgerdb in our case is badgerDB data files live on the same filesystem as our file based manifests

I think that's pretty much the difference - once you start storing this in a distributed system (like dynamodb), you start getting a bit weird timing issues on how to serialize operations which could potentially step on each other. Distributed systems of consistency are usually a headache when you let users pick what key they want to create (basically anyone could create a path named "/tmp/foo.txt" at the same time from anywhere in the platform).

From my point of view, you have built a good WAL implementation using BadgerDB instead of doing the thankless
& distracting work of separating fsync from fdatasync.

> So we are trying to move all the information in manifest files to separate badgerDB instances for each shard

And as you mentioned, because you don't want to put a WAL in a generic mutable store (instead of being append-only logs), that makes sense. Instead of switching to an append-only store & switch to it, it makes sense to move the whole thing in.

I haven't touched this area in a decade, but when I had to work with zBase at Zynga (my org built it, but I paid attention to the serialization + compression, not the storage persistence), it had its metadata store as sqlite files (the "file manifests" would be sqlite files), which was a ridiculously simple thing because the writers were single machine + single mutex (pinned to a core to reduce jitter) to record metadata. This was also built in the era of spinning rust and specifically for EBS (so there was a lot of group-commit coalescing of requests, which naturally flowed into BEGIN DEFERRED).

Was a joy to debug in a lot situations where I was happy there wasn't some custom protobuf parser needed to join + merge + update the data on disk while it was turned off.
All of that is at least auditable. You know what's not auditable or algorithmic? Literally everything else financial.

As a business owner. The principle policy I despise in this is that Apple won't let me charge iOS users differently than other users.

If I could just mark up the iOS version to cover the additional fee, I would find it much less onerous. You like the walled garden? You are welcome to pay for it.

I also find Amazon's similar policy equally disturbing. I don't think players in such powerful positions should be able to dictate pricing in such a manner.

The difference between you and I is that you believe I am an inconsiderate immature person for disagreeing with you, whereas I merely believe those with different opinions (even you) merely have a different outlook than me. I hope you are able to adjust your outlook to accommodate differing opinions of others without looking down upon them.

Go to accounts.google.com and there's an option for lagnauges and in there there's a setting called something like "automatically add languages", disable that one.
If truly everyone is doing it and you don't have any other option (which is just preposterous, there's an ever increasing number of choices out there) then maybe you're just not the target audience anymore.

Businesses aren't stupid, if a decision were to actively lose them more customers than it'd gain, they wouldn't do it. If every single business and OSS alternative suddenly switched to Electron and you had no other choice, then maybe it's you that is wrong about the value of Electron.

But, of course, that's a ridiculous hypothetical not really grounded in reality. In the real world, plenty of alternatives exist for practically every Electron app out there so if you don't want to use it, you don't have to.

And for every one of you, there's hundreds of people that think their Electron apps are fine and appreciate that they can use the exact same interface regardless of which computer they're using.

This is akin to saying "if you practice with a cheat so you can see through walls, it'll train you to know where players are likely to be standing".

No, it's cheating. It provides an unfair advantage by replacing a skill with a technology. There may be good intentions, but if so they are founded on a total misunderstanding of competition.
