Yes, It’s a mix of these people “not being able to help themselves” to fight off foreign government interference, and the foreign government interference. Similar to how people who get mugged are partly to blame for not being able to fight off the mugger.

It doesn’t matter how great a nation you have, if US comes along and decides to put in place a dictator to secure low oil prices.

If US invaded Norway tomorrow and put a corrupt religious fundamentalist in power, there is absolutely no way you could blame it on the country, the religion or the color of the skin of he people living there.
> I think the one-sentence version of this is that Workers are meant for small, undemanding tasks

Not at all! We're building a platform on which you can build your entire app. What you say may have been the case four years ago when Workers launched, but since then we've added Durable Objects, Cron triggers, much longer time limits, etc. We very much believe Workers can be a stand-alone alternative to other cloud providers.

> for example, they have tight memory limits and don’t have great performance

This isn't true.

"Performance" is a vague term, you need to clarify the use case and what you're measuring. But, I can't think of what you could mean by "don't have great performance", that seems to imply that they execute code slower or something, which just isn't true at all. In many cases, Workers perform much better than you could achieve with any other platform, due to the ability to spread work and data across the network and move it close to where it's needed.

The "memory limit" on a single worker instance is 128MB, but Cloudflare runs many instances of the worker around the world, so across the network you're really getting many gigabytes of memory. By building a distributed system based on Durable Objects, you can harness the memory of many instances to use on a single task. Workers definitely biases towards distributing load across the network rather than running a single fat instance of your server, but that just means Workers makes it easy to build apps that scale to much higher.

What this article is highlighting is that Wasm is still an immature technology. That is, unfortunately, just a fact. There's still work to be done, and progress is being made, but it's still early. The code footprint issue (because every app must bring along its own language runtime) is the biggest blocker. We hope to see that solved with dynamic linking.

But, Workers isn't primarily based on Wasm. The vast majority of Workers are written in JavaScript, where these issues don't exist. Workers runs JavaScript just as fast as any Node.js server, and runs it closer to the client resulting in better latency.
The tracking using Airtags has very little to do with Apple or any entity that could be controlled via legislation. Airtags themselves don't allow a non-owner to access location data anyway.

The tracking via Airtags is just putting a device on someone's person without their knowledge. That is already illegal but unless you know a crime has been committed you are SOL.

The Unconventional Weapon Against Future Wildfires: Goats
I wasn't onboard at first, but I actually think that's a pretty reasonable take to have on it. Apple should be allowed to implement Find My, but only as an open standard that other manufacturers can implement so they can also have safety features. Simply notifying every iPhone isn't going to stop someone from putting it in a kid's backpack, tracking your vehicle, or any other obvious edge case. There are lots of solutions here, but all of them involve Apple tipping their hand: something they've vehemently opposed in the past.

Yes, I am somehow missing the point. Whats this counter argument about?

When you look for another job, there may be way 10k companies recruiting.

Most will pay less than your current job. You only need to find one that pays more.

They might do that because they lack of engineers is what is holding them back from growth.

Or they desperately need a certain skill set.

There is a lot of money sloshing around and opportunities to get paid more elsewhere.

Now if you are underpaid it might be you are in the 30-percentile and 70% pay more so you can walk into a pay raise with eyes closed.

Logically you are right that the current company should pay more. I think there are too many companies whose business model can’t support all staff being paid what they can get on the market. They rely on people being loyal.

(They could survive if they became more efficient but few companies seem interested in really doing that)
> It makes me think that the "change the world" phase of tech startup history is over, and we're now in the "fill in the gaps" phase, where a "founder" is a hired gun that slots into a VC's portfolio.

I don’t think it’s over, but it has shifted into what was previously known as lifestyle businesses.

There isn’t much room left for “change the world” startups that have broad impact unless you come prepared with a massive war chest to outspend your competition. Most famous startups still have to buy their customers often through the IPO stage, which is why we still see companies like Uber or even Gitlab being cash flow negative when they go to market. If you’re not prepared to spend your way into the market, you’re unlikely to get very far (there are exceptions, but they are rare). So yes, this space is mostly a VC game.

However, I know of more small tech startups than ever before that are bootstrapped or have minimal investment. These small companies aren’t targeting highly competitive, broad markets like ride sharing or Git hosting. They’re playing into a founder’s personal passion or addressing unmet needs in their own domains. They won’t be the next unicorn but they’re producing good work and making a difference close to home.

In many ways it has never been easier to start a small startup. Working for a decade at a FAANG job or even a good tech job with an eye toward savings can give someone plenty of savings to coast for years while they start up. Tooling has never been more accessible for rapidly assembling prototypes and gathering customers. Even knowledge about starting companies and scaling software is freely available online.

> If you're going to be a hired gun, why not work for a FAANG and probably make a bunch more money?

One of my unpopular tech opinions is that “just get a FAANG job” isn’t as easy as it sounds. I know many smart people, including some who went on to become successful entrepreneurs, failed to get FAANG jobs after years of trying. I know several more who got FAANG jobs and then burned out or failed out. If money is your goal and you can get in then it’s a good option. It’s not the easy button, though.

Because it can be enforced without being tied to a specific jurisdiction, expensive lawyers and army of accountants.

Imagine a company the size of Google/Alphabet organized in a similar way to something like https://dxdao.eth.link/#/, where employees have more say in what they work on and don't have layers of expensive management.

Or a Y Combinator or a DAO of indie hacker businesses working as a cooperative, investing in new products, sharing resources, etc.

Or an open source alternative to Uber / Seamless / Instacart where users can vote and bid on features and reward contributors who implement them. I'm sure a product driven by customers and makers would look a lot different than the exploitative middleman businesses that dominate tech at the moment.

Obviously you get a hard product when you get a meal. You get someone's labour when you ride and Uber and consume gas and car.

When you rent, you basically are buying someone else a house. You don't get any service in many cases, as the landlord can contract our 100% of maintenance and repair and still make massive amounts of money.
> Here in Berlin, the measure has large support and I don‘t know why.

This fits perfectly into the recent “eco, socially responsible, ev, wind and solar power, fridays for future, throw the baby out with the water green party support, take from the rich-give to the poor, 100kph Autobahn speed limit, we need to be the best example in the world at whatever cost” mental state of Germany. It doesn’t have to make sense. It is what it is.
Pretty cool but why does it have to be limited to AirTag or any specific devices? It would be easy to expand it to keep track of any nearby Bluetooth device and a corresponding whitelist. (Or do AirTag devices rotate Bluetooth MACs?)

Airtags are just one implementation of a Bluetooth transmitter and a long life battery but anyone could probably build a similar device dedicated to tracking with off the shelf parts.

Not sure why are listing income tax here.

In Germany the public healthcare providers are indeed subsidized by taxes (about ~170€ per citizen per year), but the bulk of financing comes from monthly (salary based) fees payed directly to the healthcare providers, which is around 100€ for anyone that is out of the education system and goes up to around 800€ at 58k salary.

Implicit Biases
Conservatives have reached a place that seems devoid of reason to me.

30 years ago, I felt conservatism could compete well on ideals. Today's voter suppression and anti-protest laws show that even we don't value our ideals well enough to believe they'll win on their own merits. I've personally never been afraid of a healthy and capable opponent and never felt the need to restrain their voice or their vote.

My first strong disagreement with conservatives came before 2016 tho. To me, small gov is small gov. That includes LEO, IC, etc. In the 1990s we reasonably called out FBI's heavy-handed Hostage Rescue division and while we didn't really reject authoritarianism, we didn't lust for it either. After 9/11 we did an about-face and embraced federal authoritarianism in the same way we once criticized the Left for. I still feel like the only conservative on Earth who understands that a surveillance state is the largest possible government.

I held tight to conservatism after that but 2016 was the first time I ever voted for a non-R PotUS. I find Trump to be an abysmal human being who offends my principles. There's no expounding his policies because most of his output is stream-of-consciousness gibberish that can't even coalesce into a talking point. I can find nothing at all to stand by in him.

I want to add that in the years before 2016 I was distressed by the growing vitriol and animosity I got from my libertarian and conservative friends. I have one childhood friend I no longer talk to because our conversations became so corrosive.

Lastly: While voter suppression and anti-protest laws were my last straw, the stolen election delusion cemented it. And then all the anti-health crap showed up during Covid, which was quickly adopted by the Right - which just piled on more cement.

I really haven't changed my positions much since 1990. Instead, the Right went and left me behind.
Sure, why not? Also, if others see they don't heed contracts, they will start avoiding to do business with them.
I knew I would get downvoted for this, but whatever. ("We didn't ask for those types of contrarian opinions.") To explain my rationale, I read Fear by Bob Woodward and found Trump to be a more sympathetic character than one might expect. Whether you think he's incompetent or whatever, I thought the book really highlighted his sincerity.

Consider the fact that when complexity of the system rises to a point where no human can comprehend it, the project must lean more and more on specialization rather than a bunch of jack of all trades ownership type organization.

Ideally, personally and professionally we prefer autonomy but there hits a point where logistically it becomes fundamentally impossible due to complexity. Society itself must segment itself into specialists due to immense complexities it has to deal with. Eventually organizations within these societies must do the same as they grow bigger and begin to assimilate and represent a bigger portion of the society itself.

Aren't all recorded breaches of trust (outside of admittedly predatory data collection schemes endemic to the software industry) the result of unprecedented attacks on social networks as a construct? How would one anticipate such attacks?

I think it's fair to say that Facebook grew too quickly to mitigate the issues inherent to social networks at scale. I don't think that makes them abusive or evil, just naive.
There's the enforcement aspect that other commenters mention, but what's maybe more relevant to the OP is that every member's contract is open source. You know exactly what everyone is making and the mechanism for making decisions at the governance level is totally transparent by design.

The quasi-fascist PAP has ruled Singapore with authoritarian force since the 1950s. They have the uncontested power to change any old British law they wish. If they haven't, it's because they've chosen not to. If you want to point fingers, all fingers in modern Singapore should be pointed directly at the PAP.
Cisco can win cloud’s ‘Game of Thrones’
I looked it up for myself and found that different editors take different positions. To quote from one:

"In some scholarly articles, you’ll find hyphenated Latin expressions (such as ex-post-facto research design or status-quo bias). Does that mean those journals’ editors or proofreaders did slapdash work? No. It’s not incorrect to hyphenate Latin phrases, but it’s unnecessary. However, some style guides may recommend hyphenating all Latin phrases used as adjectives (I’m yet to find a major one that does, though)."

You've made it clear what the standard is when you're the editor, which is fine with me.
You need a separate app for that, I think I've heard it called "Ball-peen Hammer"
Also to be noted: these are just calls to the poison centers from worried people, who may have eaten too much or had kids eat what they shouldn't etc. It is not at all indicative of health issues, or serious health issues.

Ivermectin is rather safe across a very wide dose range (apart from some nausea, tremor, eczema etc.), so it's quite unlikely for any serious harm to occur, and as far as I know not a single death has been attributed to Ivermectin overdose in humans.
Yes, and so can the UN. And it actually does, while AI still has to show its true colors.
Blizzard needs to fix their working culture for sure, but I am not sure this reduction of “revealing clothing” or elimination of in-game “boyish” jokes is necessary. There’s nothing wrong with eye candy or crass humor, just as there’s nothing wrong with women showing cleavage or people making risque jokes in real life either. These things are part of what makes the game fun and frankly it caters to their majority audience. I would guess that even if a vocal minority would complain about this stuff, most wouldn’t care. For me, reducing everything to a boring beige that passes purity tests just feels depressing. Additionally, if we really think sexualization in media is a problem, a bigger issue is television and movies featuring attractive people period - whether they’re wearing revealing clothes or not, those casting choices are built to cater to the same human instincts.
What a coincidence.
