Isn’t a partnership supposed to be mutual?

You seem to think that it should be one sided, with them doing all the selling/figuring though, which seems to be pretty problematic in other ways.

For some folks, at some times, that can certainly work. But it sounds like you want them to be in servitude to you, not an actual partnership.

If a trans person walked into my office their existence would be a political problem, because none of my coworkers or company leadership accept the legitimacy of trans identity. It isn't that the person's physical safety is in danger (necessarily), but merely being present makes them the subject of politics. And those politics are generally hostile. I have a trans friend who was qualified for an open position, and I asked her about it, but it was clear there was no way she would even be applying.

Now, I'm thousands of miles away from Silicon Valley, in a much smaller town than most posters here. But I think this kind of thinking is toxic wherever you work. If you push out anyone who might challenge the structure (formal or informal) of your company without taking a good look at who that structure is serving, you're going to reject a lot of good people. And you're going to reinforce any existing biases already in the company.

Dripping with assumptions about what people want from 'off grid living'. I have family members who are totally off-grid, totally disconnected from all physical services (they have internet). I helped setup many of their systems. They do not use anything like a "pit toilet" nor do they "collect rainwater". Off-grid living isn't medieval. It can be just as luxurious as any city. Water comes form wells drilled deep into the ground. Sewage goes to the same septic fields, not pits, that are common in older suburbs across NA. Bathrooms have in-floor heating. Televisions are just as big as anywhere else. The kids play minecraft with their friends while mom and dad stream netflix. Step into a modern off-grid house and you wouldn't see any differences.

A modern solar rig can generate so much energy in summer that my relatives are seriously considering bitcoin mining. Once the batteries are full that power capacity is going to waste. Their electricity cost during such times is literally zero.

I don’t think anyone is arguing with that. It’s just that the problem is not rare (unfortunately)
The other commenter summed it up.

Money is an abstract distributed ledger conceived of from our old way of imprinting quantity on clay tablets, to track trade.

We’re lead around by gossip, fads, trends… memes… where to look for the best paying jobs, sales… by restricting acceptable discourse around not the literal solution to problems, but the expectations we solve them for corporations to own, and leverage for profit with “fair apportionment” dictated by Byzantine economic math not even the experts can penetrate (there was just a story on HN about how no one knows who owns what in any clear way; it’s all ad hoc to fit a narrative; Google Varoufakis)

We’re told that’s just how it goes and it’s all correct and politically policed for correctness. Yet last year we saw in the news they just hand out hundreds of millions to those in the political network and make everyone else work for them in return.

Relative network effects are the reality of physics and it makes a good concept for understanding society. Adam Smith called for equality of condition to prevent gross inequality and extreme division of labor making for humans dumber than any animal (paraphrasing).

Bring on the universal healthcare, and economics that protect the biological well-being of all people first and force austerity on a minority in the form of an aristocracy
The point of the syllogism is that it yields a supposedly faulty conclusion ("Therefore, negroes are equal in political rights to whites"). This is confusing to us because, unlike Peirce, we consider the conclusion to be obviously true.

I don't consider Peirce's racism relevant and I find it irriating that it always comes up.
Apple is very incremental in the way they typically do things. This at least enables investigation to occur, and that alone may disincentivize the most egregious violations.
When people say "bringing religion into the workplace" they are usually thinking about setting up an office Christmas tree or hosting prayers before meetings. Reasonable expressions of religious sentiment such as wearing religious attire, praying silently to oneself before meals, and taking leave for religious holidays are generally not included. The boundary line is usually drawn at "does this pressure coworkers to act in accordance with specific religious beliefs."
I thought we weren't supposed to use the source location names for influenza even if true? You know, for obfuscation purposes.

It's only bizarre—and I'd agree it would be bizarre—if you interpret what I said as comparing a behemoth Government with a small and agile corporation. For the avoidance of any confusion, I'm talking about private entities which operate at a similar scale to its equivalent Government department.

Beyond a certain scale, massive inefficiency is the natural state of most corporations. It's just hard to find because the dirty laundry is rarely made public, and even then it's often concealed behind consultant fees, marketing budgets and other opaque expenditures.

Is ham radio any better on this front? Equipment is bulky and expensive, often requires a large antenna which might be problematic in apartments, requires specific skill (a satellite phone usually "just works") and requires a license before you can legally transmit (granted, in an emergency nobody cares, but I don't know many people who would be happy to spend money on a setup that they wouldn't even be legally allowed to use).
The US can change their tax system, if they want to.

Eg they could tax land value. It's very hard to move land out of the country or hide it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_value_tax

Or they could tax sales / consumption instead of trying to tax company profits.

Company profits are just a bit too nebulous to tax properly.

Eg you can reduce your profits just fine by shifting your capital structure from being financed by equity to being financed largely by debt. (And as we all know, too much leverage is not all that great for the resilience of the economy.) That doesn't even need any Hollywood accounting, it's very orthodox accounting.

Yet, we keep pushing companies in that direction with the incentives that most tax systems around the world set.
You can clean up the FB feed. I've been doing it for years when I used it. FB purity plus adblockers plus ruthless unfollowing builds you a pretty clean feed after a while. But one day you realize - or at least I did - that no matter what, every time you go there, every time you click on any link, every time you read and react, every time you post - you contribute to it, and with it you strengthen the company's position and their chokehold on public discussion space, and their dominant position in the business of connecting people. No matter what you do, if you do it there, it's to their benefit. I kinda admire the genius of it, but you have other options.

If you don't like what FB as a company is doing, the only way to resist it is not to play. So eventually I abandoned my carefully constructed feed and went to look for better pastures.
I mean, it's not really "locked-in". You can export your passwords from Keychain easily enough (as CSV, if you'd like).
Apple Internet recoveryOS images are served over plain http, on purpose. The macrecovery.py script used by Quickemu uses http¹, though the server supports https.

https://support.apple.com/guide/security/recoveryos-and-diag...

> When the internet recovery and diagnostic modes were added to Mac computers in 2011, it was decided that it would be better to use the simpler HTTP transport, and handle content authentication using the chunklist mechanism, rather than implement the more complicated HTTPS functionality in the UEFI firmware, and thus increase the firmwareʼs attack surface.

The one reason to have continually growing "tax function" is to avoid a particular number be more beneficial than a larger number.

Eg. someone making $100k is better off than someone else making $100001, but also maybe $120k (depending on the tax rates). Basically, at $100k, there is no incentive to earn more because your net, take-home figure will be lower if you do, until you jump significantly over the hoop.
The giant caveat that needs to be recognized:

> The laws about going off-grid are usually determined by local government and not the state, and they vary drastically.

You can be in one county where off grid, septic or open privy, and rain catchments are the norm, and in the next county in the same State they are all highly restricted or outright prohibited.

Have to check with the county or equivalent, if you have any off grid plans. Going by State level laws only, can be very expensive mistake.

Except there are no other marketplaces on which this developer can sell his app to iPhone users. That’s the issue. Apple has a stranglehold because they do not allow other app stores.
Coincidentally I have the Oura ring too, and my sleep HRV oscilates around 100ms; haven't compared with a strap in the morning though. Strange that you get such low values, maybe something faulty with the ring, or finger placement? It's possible also that the absolute values are not extremely accurate, but the relative trends are. Garmin for example requires a strap to measure HRV stress, even though the watch has an optical HR sensor, which leads me to think optical sensors are not so precise.

What an amazing improvement to 4:30 pace at 140 bpm btw! I've had a similar relative improvement over the first year when I think about it, from around 7:00 to 5:20-5:30 at 140 bpm. But my training was mostly 1km intervals at high end of zone 3 (still quite below threshold), translating to a lot of tempo running on average, plus one session of 200s or 400s faster intervals per week. Been stuck with little progress for a while though, and was thinking to try a more polarized approach like yours with higher volume; thanks for explaining it!

App Store development has me sort of offended. If I build it I’m not certain users can even try it unless apple (gatekeeper) decides their user base should. It’s certainly a walled garden and perhaps a reason I’ve steered my career away from mobile development.

Similar question: how does it compare to using ClickHouse with http interface (which supports a number of output formats including Arrow and ArrowStream).

It does take a few more commands to start a ClickHouse server, create table and load data in... a friendly loader program could probably get pretty close to Roapi interface.

Both Roapi and Datafusion look very cool! Excited to learn about them.
Yep, I'm off grid (minus fiber internet), and you wouldn't be able to tell
I'm a newish ham and got my license a couple of years ago. One thing that may not be obvious to long-time hams is how alienating the testing experience can be. Many of us learn online or through printed resources, and our first time meeting the local club is test day. The test process leaves a lot to be desired.

For example, my local area only has exams once per quarter. The time frame is 9 AM - noon on a weekend day, theoretically you can start any time. So I show up at 10 and quickly fill out the 30 question multiple choice technician exam. No problems so far! But then I have to sit and wait over an hour for 3 different examiners to get to my exam and grade it one after the other. I don't know why this rule about grading in triplicate exists, but it meant that despite finishing my exam maybe 90 minutes before the session ended, I was told there wouldn't be enough time for me to take the general exam and get it graded that day. Meaning I had to get up at 8 AM and travel to a neighboring city on the next exam date to get my general license.

The whole thing just feels unnecessarily bureaucratic and alienating, particularly for a hobby. It was less of a hassle last time I went to the DMV.

Because no hash is eternal and it is only a matter of time between it being leaked and it being cracked. How long depends on a lot of stuff (technology, implementation, password quality and, overall, the value of the account).

Salting, specifically only has one function: making rainbow tables useless and difficulting hash analisys, it is the deffinition of buying you time and making the attacker think twice by requiring more resources (ideally enough that it;s not worth trying)

So, if you know that your users creds are compromised, the only logical answer is to reset them. What you did when hashing is buying time. The difference is that if you bought enough there is little change of incidents from the leak. If you didn't it may get messy. And will.
Creates a race to get in first, even if a mediocre effort. Unless one can get in solely by being somehow higher quality than the other offerings.

Unless I'm missing something it feels heavy handed and less likely to produce a competitive market.
You're being sarcastic of course. However Houston is ~46% Hispanic. If you were Hispanic and wanted to live in a heavily Hispanic city in the US, that is also relatively nice, relatively safe, and economically thriving, Houston is a tremendous choice.

In the past I worked at a telecom company which had representation from Russia, Japan, China, India, Britain, and America on my team alone.

“Charter” referred here is a separate document mentioned in Article 6 of the treaty:

The Union recognises the rights, freedoms and principles set out in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union of 7 December 2000, as adapted at Strasbourg, on 12 December 2007, which shall have the same legal value as the Treaties.

The provisions of the Charter shall not extend in any way the competences of the Union as defined in the Treaties.

So the Charter is about human rights, and as the treaty makes clear, doesn’t extend the competences of the Union. Poland and UK wanted to put a further point on this for some reason. It is not a carve-out from the treaty.
Conceptually, no, as others have said. The various RPC protocols- some of which can be inefficiently layered on top of HTTP- are FFIs.

FFIs are conceptually simple- call and response on the wire with a schema ABI.

The conceptual model for HTTP is much more complex. It is for synchronizing portions of a collection of data models between two systems.

HTTP includes expectations for an extensible set of data types that may be transferred, as wholes or in parts. These data types have identities and a variety of encodings and representations, and they may occasionally be taxonomically relocated, or may disappear altogether.

HTTP includes a robust caching layer and support for both transactional and streaming interactions.

In HTTP/2 it allows the client to request many data types at the same time and for the server to optimize for delivery even for elements the client has not yet requested but the server knows it will need.

The acronym REST- Representational State Transfer- captures the conceptual goal for the HTTP protocol. A client/server system has complex state on both sides, and needs a protocol that is aware of the complexities of transferring that state. It is much richer and deeper than FFI.

Cheers.

It's wrong if you think HFT belongs in a category like tobacco. HFT has significantly reduced rents collected by market makers and significantly reduced bid offer spreads, and most importantly it doesn't kill people and doesn't destabilize democracies. They've automated market makers and brought scale economies and the efficiency of technology to the game. It's a great thing on net. The race to the bottom incentive for speed leads to some waste but that pales in comparison to the benefits.

That is not how marginal tax rates work. I’m not suggesting we abandon marginal tax brackets. In the case of your example, the person who earned $101k would pay tax on the $1k above $100k, i.e. they would pay $200 of taxes.

The proposal to start taxing only amounts above $100k is not fundamentally different from the standard deduction or personal allowance that already exists (YMMV by jurisdiction). My proposal is simply to increase this floor by 10-20x.
YMMV.

The local daily (or Sunday) paper in many parts of the US is ... simply unreadable.

As in: there's no news in it, the writing that exists is poor, the articles are filler and largely newswire or (by all appearances) bot-written.

There are pitifully few counterexamples, and if your local region has a paper that's actually managing to put out a worthwhile product (if not exactly thriving), well, count your blessings.

In Chicago, the local NPR affiliate just announced an exploration to acquire one of the city's two remaining daily general newspapers and operate it as part of a non-profit news organisation:

https://www.robertfeder.com/2021/09/30/chicago-public-media-...

(Chicago's other daily, the much-suffering, badly-TRONC'd Tribune, was scooped by virtually everyone on this and barely managed to copy and paste WBEZ's press release the next morning. Though it managed to report on yet another senior editor leaving, the 40th or so editorial staffer to do so since the paper was bought by a venture-capital leech in May.)

I see that as a likely development in other cities as well --- perhaps KQED / Northern California Public Media picking up the SF Chronicle or Examiner, for example.

Otherwise, I really see no path forward for print.

Yes, there's some benefit in having a Very Finite News Feed, and being able to bundle up an entire day's articles and set them on the recycling bin when done. But really, there's simply no there here any more.

Most of your points I'm ignoring, but just pointing out the part that seems most obvious to me...

If a large team of expert lawyers and accountants comes up with a plan of action, the odds of it being illegal are tiny. It isn't a fair process, unbiased or transparent. But it doesn't make much sense to expect that billionaires would be jailed for tax fraud. They've got more money than they can spend, why risk going to jail at all. They might do that, but it isn't a rational thing to do.

Sure it can happen, but there needs to be actual evidence before anyone should assume it is widespread.
Yeah, that's the ideal. Unfortunately when the local government is worse than a bunch of faraway bureaucrats, it's just hard to justify supporting them.

It does not have teeth, but it would if the developer agreed to cease and desist. It’s an offer; in return they will not sue. (From what they might propose to abstain from suing, I am not sure. And whether that agreement would be a valid contract for certainty and completeness is another issue. But the general idea is “stop this or we will sue; if you do stop we won’t sue”.)

You know, I actually found this comment clarifying. I don't look at work as solely exchanging time for money (don't get me wrong, I care about money a lot, I just want to get a lot more than money out of my work) so I was coming at it from a different direction.

I do think there's an employee-employer compatibility in play here. Because I care about engagement/mission, I tend to work at companies with a strong culture and seek the same when I interview others - but yeah it's a good reminder that this is not for what everyone wants/needs.
