so true.

also the idea of a "virtual" pizza party makes me feel kind of uncomfortable. it's like we bought you pizza so let us gawk at you while you eat it. no thanks.

i don't like looking at myself on a camera, let alone while shoving a pizza into my gob. but im sure more extroverted people would enjoy it.
Unlocking laptop with my fingerprints was a game changer for me
Back in the early 2000s, when Amazon announced the 2-pizza team concept, my team thought "great, we're a 2-pizza team now, let's get some pizza." Then we found out that the pizza is theoretical - you don't get a budget for ordering pizza.

Unfortunately it really is that simple. Wealth concentrates and people revolt. So if you don't want the revolt either give away your wealth or let the wealth erode slowly over time (higher wages eat away at relative wealth).

This seems backwards.

The flour (say 500 grams) for a basic loaf of bread should cost something like 50 cents, looking at U.S. prices. Water, yeast and salt a fraction of a cent each. You should be able to charge at least $3 for the resulting loaf. If you know what you're doing and are in the right area, maybe as much as $6? 6-12x markup over ingredient cost.

The same bread ingredients would make the dough for a rather large pepperoni pizza, which you could maybe charge $20 for? A very conservative (I think) $2.50 of cheese and $1 of pepperoni would leave you at a 5x markup. Never mind tomato sauce, or the extra labour involved.
I think you're completely ignoring more radical proposed changes like lambdas: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2738.pdf and more modern error handling: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2361.pdf

You mean the protocol? Well it can't be sold as the standard is open and there is (as far as I know) no reference implementation which include special/exclusive features which might have some intrinsic IP value.

I think the extensibility of the protocol together with some proprietary features layered on top might have value though. I can't think of an example at the moment.
How does everybody become wealthier? The money to put more Bitcoin (or any other popular crypto currency) into the system is not distributed among investors, it is literally burned.

Mining Bitcoin requires energy and hardware and new Bitcoins are the way to pay for those. Next to all money from mined Bitcoins goes to energy providers and hardware manufacturers. That is how these systems are designed in their respective whitepapers.
Whatever your opinion of restrictions in a given location, I'm pretty sure the right answer isn't to put pressure on people in a job context to ignore restrictions/recommendations/what makes them feel personally comfortable in their own situation to get together with coworkers in person.
Online social events are neither social nor events. What is physically a mingling cocktail party feels like an AA meeting.
And the alternative of having each person order what they want and expensing it isn't much better. You don't pay anything, but it forces everyone to spend a fair amount of time. Plus accounting for different timezones means everyone isn't eating at the same time.

Thanks for doing some research! That's all I'd like to see people do.

You misinterpret the practical workings there a little bit. The Tate will not need to buy another certificate if they choose to exhibit the drawing once again, by hiring draughtsman to paint it on a wall once more. It doesn't refer to a specific installation.
The number of the wall drawing on the certificate refers to the design, not the physical object.

Nevertheless, even with your interpretation, you could ask why a museum would want to pay for an artist to provide this kind of certification.

I'm writing this from Frieze Art Fair. There are a number of video pieces here which you can buy. They'll give you a USB drive. They will pinky swear to only sell one of those, to you. And they'll give you a certificate of authenticity. Its supposed to certify that this isn't just a copy of the video that you made. Which isn't to say that you can't make a copy and give it to your friend. She will own the same bits. But only yours is authentic, because you have that certificate. That is what is meant by authenticity.

It's a system the art world has experimented with for a while. These kinds of certificate-based works don't sell that easily either. Much easier to sell a painting. But it's the same system as an NFT and not more or less scammy than that.

Sorry to hear that it wasn't working well for you. I'm sure there's a pile of edge cases yet to resolve in Wayland and its compositors.

The only social network? How about the Fediverse? Spin up their own PixelFed (and a Mastodon instance too), promote it widely, and donate some of their public money to these FOSS projects based on open standards, instead of just choosing a proprietary centralized platform.

>I think you can intuit that if you pay people some amount they actually work more efficiently because they're happier and healthier and better fed and better educated. Of course if you pay them a very large amount, the efficiency gains per dollar will likely drop off again because there's only so much a person can improve themselves (as per your intuition before) .

Those two are the income and substitution effect. Unsurprisingly better compensated individuals tend to work more not less.

Some great points, well made (and apologies for putting that assumption on you, you are correct about that). I think the blind spot you refer to also creates the risk we may encounter consciousness and not recognize it.

I’ve long been of the common-in-tech-circles belief that at some point in the future we will be able to create intelligent, conscious machines. Where my view on this fascinating issue is shifting is that I’m much less convinced that our animal nature is immaterial to this task.

In any case this has been a fascinating and insightful conversation and I appreciate the opportunity to have it with you and the other commenters here.
Yep, I think that's the way. No matter the vocation. Cut out the management tier as much as possible between you and your customer.

If the imbalance is the result of different innate preferences (and there’s a great deal of evidence it is) then working against nature is a waste of time and money!

Listening to an interview w/ Jeff Hawkins for "A Thousand Brains", it reminded me of Lingua Ex Machina [2009].

"A neuroscientist and a linguist show how evolution could have given rise to structured language."

I tried to dig a bit, to see if there's a connection between Jeff Hawkins and William Calvin's works. No joy. I'm probably just grasping at straws.

Am just a curious layperson. It's been ages since I read On Intelligence and Lingua Ex Machina. At the time, just the notion of Darwinian processes happening within the brain rocked my world.

You can probably think of it as hidden secret in the sense that, here a couple of people who believe they have greatly increased their own productivity, that it gives them an advantage relative to others, and that you need to piece together from their thoughts how you might apply such anecdata to yourself.

My interpretation of these articles is that it is worthwhile to become faster and more productive, that there are real tangible benefits to your quality of life. And that you might gain a lot of productivity by deliberately training your skill at "low-level" components of your workflow, e.g. doubling your typing speed, practicing writing documents, perfecting the use of your tools.
I think you do not hate corporations just for the sake of it. There is money in the outrage business. Every movement can be sabotaged by people who have their own self interest t the forefront. It is easy to hide bad behavior under emotional issues.
The argument is fairly straightforward: Let n be the number of seed bits of the CSPRNG. Assume there exists an ANN that approximates the CSPRNG so that the number of possibly wrong output bits is at most polylogarithmic in n (otherwise you haven't really gained much insight from the ANN). Assume further that the ANN is sufficiently small so that a forward pass through the ANN takes at most polynomial time in n. Then you can create a polynomial-time algorithm that (i) runs the ANN on the observed CSPRNG samples/by querying the oracle, and then (ii) brute-forces the possible error bits in polynomial time, thereby recovering the full seed. But this is a contradiction with the assumption that the CSPRNG is secure, i.e. that it admits no polynomial-time adversary, q.e.d.
You can probably still get those.

Helplessness Blues
Fleet Foxes

I was raised up believing I was somehow unique
Like a snowflake distinct among snowflakes, unique in each way you can see
And now after some thinking, I'd say I'd rather be
A functioning cog in some great machinery serving something beyond me

But I don't, I don't know what that will be
I'll get back to you someday soon you will see

What's my name, what's my station? Oh, just tell me what I should do
I don't need to be kind to the armies of night that would do such injustice to you
Or bow down and be grateful and say, "Sure, take all that you see"
To the men who move only in dimly-lit halls and determine my future for me

And I don't, I don't know who to believe
I'll get back to you someday soon you will see

If I know only one thing, it's that everything that I see
Of the world outside is so inconceivable often I barely can speak
Yeah I'm tongue-tied and dizzy and I can't keep it to myself
What good is it to sing helplessness blues, why should I wait for anyone else?

And I know, I know you will keep me on the shelf
I'll come back to you someday soon myself

If I had an orchard, I'd work 'til I'm raw
If I had an orchard, I'd work 'til I'm sore
And you would wait tables and soon run the store

Gold hair in the sunlight, my light in the dawn
If I had an orchard, I'd work 'til I'm sore
If I had an orchard, I'd work 'til I'm sore
Someday I'll be like the man on the screen
Very true, I didn't consider that aspect of bloody eating on camera.

It's like trying to eat on a first date, you're terrified of dropping food on yourself, or getting sauce on your face... ...and so are they.
I am going to make a claim as someone who works in both the crossroad of devwork and design that there is not one piece of software that caters truly for the artist.

Every piece of software for artists / designers is not intuitive. It’s sliders, knobs, modals and panels. Programmers making design software is Not A Good Idea.

The way forward is something like ProCreate, so just the software and the pen, and maybe more auxiliary devices (a color palet for instance) to become more analog again.
Gosh I think it really depends on your company. Sometimes extra work needs to get done, that’s part of being a salaried employee to me. Providing food is a nice acknowledgment of work that, while it falls within the job description, falls outside of normal work hours.

Whether a job takes undue advantage of salaried employees times is another matter entirely. At my work, 36 hour hackathons would never fly, corporate fun is either paid or optional, and late nights to meet a deadline happen a couple times a year - no problems there. I’m sure that’s not how it is at Amazon but I think the problems there run deeper than the food.
We have two competing food delivery services here, Foodora and Wolt.

Foodora kept doing these "FREE DELIVERY" promos and blasting me with push notifications. And when I'd open up the app to browse through all of the available places, pick what food I'd like to order, add it to my basket and then go to checkout... My 14€ pizza has turned into a 19€ minimum order pizza + free delivery. Also, the minimum order was separate for each and every restaurant, but I could not find any way to find it other than the checkout page.

When I open up Wolt and select a restaurant, the first two things I see, even before the actual name of the restaurant, are the minimum order sum and the delivery fee.

I only have one of these applications installed on my phone these days. Anyone wanna guess which one?
"big companies" were in quotes because there was context. This implies "too big to fail" or "big enough to trigger antitrust talks", et al.

Collusion often results in this, which is not a dejour monopoly, but a defacto monopoly. Collusion isn't even strictly necessary. Endstage capitalism naturally selects the winners who stay on top. It's a simple concept taught in beginning economics.

"big companies" == oligopoly == monopoly is exactly what people mean when talking about worrisome "big companies", without the commensurate analogies.

A monopoly is about perspective which is about scale not some subjective definition (like sanderjd endlessly trolls about). Legal systems all over the world combat real/threatened monopolies (eg the CCP recently acted unilaterally) in various forms. Whether you think it's a useful reasoning to group companies and use a specific term is irrelevant. I sincerely hope you can understand that.

Good luck with whatever.
Yeah, the "get rich" phase of bitcoin is over. There's still money to be made, but it's extremely unlikely it's going to see the orders-of-magnitude rises it's seen in the past.

That said, there are still plenty of opportunities in crypto to make "get rich" money. NFTs are one area in particular right now, especially for people capable of learning to code smart contracts. That's not everyone here, but it's most.

I agree though — it’s tempting to keep extending and stretching the language to be something it was never designed for; but at some point it’s been stretched so far it loses the properties that made it attractive to start with. I like Python, but some of the things people are using it for now, they should really consider another language instead, and write a Python wrapper on top of that if they must use it from Python.

Nope. Have you ever read the article "Facebook is censoring links to competitor social network Tsu and deleting old mentions"?[0]

> There are lots of competing products, which is often less convenient than if everyone were using a single monopoly product!

If I drive a Ford then it doesn't inconvenience me if someone else drives a Honda. This is equivalent to a market where messengers use an interoperable protocol, like email. The "less convenient" world you are describing is one where some roads can only be driven on by Ford cars, and others only by Hondas, causing people to choose their destinations based on which make of car they have.

A good keyboard. This is surprisingly hard to find.
Meanwhile we have hundreds of videos of a man being brutally chopped off his hand, hung upside down while he bleeds, then legs chopped off and finally dies gasping all over Twitter and Facebook, for anyone to see, even kids who stumble upon it. Apparently such content doesn't harm users as much as some Renaissance nudes.

Unfortunately, I don't remember the details, but from what I recall it was 'simply' a conscious decision on his part to switch his customer base, so it seemed that tooling/parts/skills/money were not the problem. I assume, as always, that luck has to be involved for someone to discover you and think you're worthy of their money. Then again, just the price tag alone may signify that you're worthy (remember that iPhone app 'I am rich', that did nothing but cost a couple thousand dollars?). Especially if your target audience really doesn't care about the price at all and can just afford to buy it as a novelty, to be the first to have watches from that new unknown brand, before it was cool.

But the story had an immediate impact on how I thought about many products and marketing.

HTTP was for sale

What would this mean, exactly? What would "buying HTTP" mean for the buyer? The valuation is going to be strongly dependent on the actual "thing" being sold.

For instance, "selling" exclusive rights to serve HTTP would likely devalue the protocol to zero as quickly as systems could switch over to something else.
I just assumed the constexpr keyword was added to help the programmer ensure that what they were writing could be run at compile time.
I'd love to see someone come up with a checklist of where you should/shouldn't agile. If you can get Gartner to publish it, we'd end this whole top down agile charade.

Things like
* max team size
* type of application
* type of user
* geographic distribution

A)
Agile may work for a team of 5 sitting in the same office working on the latest dating app to MVP their way from text to sending dicks pics to sending xxx videos as they A/B test on their large userbase, iterating the UI design with color/font/button/wording changes along the way. You MVP because you aren't sure what the users want and have an easy way to measure it as you go, so there's no need for 6-12 month roadmaps, maybe, or at least you an convince yourself of that.

B)
Agile may NOT work on a team of 25 sitting in 5 countries, working on replacing a legacy infrastructure application that say, moves your money from one financial institution to another. The users are.. other applications interacting with your infra, you can't A/B test moving real money, and you internally have had to derive a set of requirements based on existing processes/flows, and can lay down a 6-12 month roadmap with your project manager. There's no MVP of "well first we will work on sending integer dollar values, then we'll work on sending decimal dollar values". There's no UI so theres no buttons to add/remove or change the color, font and wording of the text forms. Etc

Many of us are a lot closer to working on Type B software than we are on Type A software.
>Sometimes extra work needs to get done, that’s part of being a salaried employee to me.

How many news stories have you read about violence and prejudice against black folks in the last 2 weeks compared to stories about this?

There have been over 600 murders in Chicago and over 2700 shootings in 2021 alone, with 75% of those folks being black.

That was the point of the whole special.
