My first experience with such setup was the DG/UX at the university campus, where we had a mix of classical green/ambar phosphor terminals, and a couple of X-Windows thin clients from IBM to connect to it.

Regarding Multics, it was a failure only for Bell Labs themselves, as the project kept going and had still a couple of years for itself.

If I held a gun to your head and said "give me your phone or face the consequences," would you claim that me shooting you for not giving me your phone is you "being held accountable"? Because that seems analogous to what is happening to netflix here.

The consequences of them producing this special is that some people are mad. But netflix chose to produce it, and I'm sure they knew full well that some people would get mad. A group of offended people demanding that it be taken down is not a "consequence that must be faced", it's a demand, and netflix not doing so isn't "not being held accountable for their actions."

This is history all over: the pendulum ends up swinging too far and it has to correct.

Unions came about to bring about workers rights in the industrial revolution to correct terrible working conditions. This is something that needed to happen.

Fast forward to the 1970s and the problems weren't anywhere near as severe. But power not used is power lost. If your members begin to view you as unnecessary, it's an existential threat to not only the union but those who had built their careers (political and otherwise) on the backs of that. So what happens? Any remote sleight is blown out of proportion to create controversy and fan the flames of fear among members.

In the US this dovetailed into the Reagan years. Americans had started to view unions as unnecessary and corrupt and union membership and power waned.

It also didn't help that there have been many ties between unions and organized crime.

Your story about the Portland ports comes as no surprise to me. There are countless stories like this and the "go to" defense used in making a mountain out of a mole hill is the slippery slope fallacy ("well if this electrician can be fired for coming to work drunk and killing two people then you'll be next").

It should come as no surprise that worker wages in real terms stagnated from 1980 until now.

What I hope is that the pandemic is a catalyst for this pendulum to start swinging back. I think we've had enough of Reagonomics (trickle-down economics anyone?).

“Unfortunately, most young people are all for the government spending even more money for various things which will only exacerbate the issue.”

The issue is not the amount of money that is spent; the issue is for what the money is spent. So many articles discussing the current bills in Congress simply stating the amounts of money that are allocated in aggregate with little if any discussion of the specific amounts within the bill. My skeptical mind thinks this is purposely done to mislead the public.
Two things:

Network effects are real. I would not continue to use Whatsapp unless other people were on it. It got big before Facebook bought them and has dwindled (in my book) ever since. The network effect applies to a lot of things, from the internet to telephones to bars.

Addictive dark patterns are a thing. Facebook is armed with a metric asston of computational power that is all dedicated to getting you to keep hanging out on it, feeding your dopamine cycles, coaxing you in with candy, and distorting reality around you. It is in fact, these myriad reality distortion fields that is its primary path to ad revenue.

> what Facebook offers for free

Because it has hundreds of billions in its bank and sucks in tens of billions of ad revenue. Little competitors cannot do either of those.
Brave never redirected users to referral links. We did have a bit of mistaken behavior in the browser's suggestion list. We offered affiliate codes as a way to support Brave development. If a user typed in a matching search term (e.g. Binance), our suggestion list would offer the affiliate link for the Binance site. This feature was intended for search input, but mistakenly matched fully-qualified URLs too (e.g. binance.us). We shipped a fix quickly, and turned the feature off by default.

I outscored every single G&T student at my school in both standardized tests AND in final grades. Not only were they not any smarter than most of their classmates, but they had been coddled so much by their labels and their parents that most of them were complete social incompetents. When students were left to their own devices with workbooks, the non-G&T kids quickly caught up and surpassed the G&T kids.

One of the silliest things about this entire argument is that there are only a handful of prodigies born every year, and most of the "gifted" kids aren't really any brighter than their classmates, they just get more attention at home.

When someone is running a horse and buggy taxi service in 2021, the issue isn't whether the guy shoveling the manure is being paid a fair wage for working hard, or whether their job is easy, but rather why their job exists in the first place. Major ports have automated long ago.

"Biden’s Build Back Better bill, Section 30102, expressly prohibits the use of funds provided there to be used for automation."[1]

The union is clear it opposes automation:

"TTI would become the fourth automated container terminal in Southern California. Total Terminals International’s (TTI’s) decision this week to automate its 385-acre Pier T terminal in Long Beach sets up a classic struggle between terminal operator employers and the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU).

The union opposes the project on the grounds it will eliminate some dockworker jobs, but employers say automation is needed to increase capacity and keep the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles competitive."[3]

And this results in outdated infrastructure and lower productivity:

"Cranes in automated ports operate at least twice as fast as cranes in outdated US ports. Biden’s port czar, John Porcari, let the truth out when he said last week it’s “your grandfather’s infrastructure that we’re dealing with.”[1]

"The International Longshoremen’s Association contract, which extends to 2024, blocks the use of automation technology. Willie Adams, president of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union, which represents West Coast workers, says automated cargo handling equipment will not be tolerated."[1]

"In a July 7 letter to California Governor Gavin Newsom, International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) president Willie Adams cited the pandemic and the US-China trade war as reason why terminal automation, mostly recently seen at APM Terminals’ Los Angeles terminal, would hurt the ports, its workers, and surrounding communities.

“This is simply not the time to allow further job losses to automation. Losing jobs to automation not only undermines the long term capacity of our ports, but it does lasting damage on our families,” Adams wrote [.. seen as] further evidence of the union’s single-minded focus on automation. That was seen most clearly in its surprisingly vocal opposition last year to a limited automation project at the APM Terminals Pier 400 facility in Los Angeles despite having agreed years earlier to a collective bargaining agreement that allowed terminals to automate in return for $800 million in additional wages and benefits."[2]

Create a nonprofit in Minutes instead of Months – .NGO
Hi!
I'm hoping to get some feedback on a start-up we're working on.

Anyone that wants to start a nonprofit fundamentally wants to accept donations, issue tax receipts, and store their donations in a bank account.

Currently do all of this, it can take a few days to incorporate, 8-10 months to get a 501c3 from the IRS, and on average a week to get a bank account.

.NGO is fintech company that's building the infrastructure for the modern internet nonprofit. With our technology, you can skip waiting months and instead start fundraising for your nonprofit, automatically issue tax receipts to your donors, store your funds in a bank account and have an unlimited number of virtual debit cards in order to pay for the expenses of your nonprofit.

We have a beta of our product over at https://www.dot.ngo

Would love to get some feedback on the idea overall and anyone to try our platform if it interests you.
This is so cool. So much earlier than I could have imagined!
I don't think our academic institutions should be in the business of managing children's feelings. That's for parents and families. They should be strictly concerned with imparting knowledge. What's unreasonable about setting a bar and providing a label for those who meet it? If you're over 6' you're "tall". Why can't it be if your IQ is over 130 you're "smart" or "gifted"?
> In a relevant sense, common occurrence of a pattern reveals a weakness in the language where it appears, because no one has succeeded in capturing it in a library so it doesn't need to be coded again.

Correct but also a tired point. This is stated in the intro to the design patterns book: these things that we are about to explain are “patterns” because the languages we use can’t express them directly.

Long comment just to say it's not for you. I am excited but wish it was pioneered by someone else than Facebook.
Laws against sex work traditionally also make victim(involuntary or forced workers or trafficked) also the criminal.

It is extremely hard to differentiate who is involuntary legally even if there was strong provisions for it and sex workers mostly can not pay for expensive legal counsel who can make that case.

Nordic laws are an attempt to not decriminalize sex work at the same time not punish the workers at all.

It is not about controlling demand over supply
again, that misses the point. we don't 'run out of gas', at least not until we die. you're equating building a business with discovering and creating, but the building of businesses is a customary, artificial constraint, not a natural one, to creating novel discoveries.

i do agree with your implicit premise that profit motive can drive us to do things we don't otherwise want to do, but that again is because of constraints placed on us by the political economy, not natural constraints. we coerce the economy into producing profits via these constraints, not the other way around.

i get that you want to rail against the bureaucratic regulatory function, and i can agree that we get a lot of things wrong therein, but this line of reasoning doesn't get you there.

Modern law has been complicated somewhat by a change in heart. There was an attempt at loosening the rules around prostitution(pre 2009), but they have subsequently been tightened a bit. In short its a mess.

> really just protection, or whether he's a pimp, taxing a harem of girls with threats of violence?

this is where I diverge from sex workers on my opinion on this. They are pushing for discrimination. But this doesn't solve the coercion/security hired help issue.

The only practical way I can see it going away is by allowing sex workers to be fully legalised, as in form a company, have accounts, pay tax, be inspected by environmental health(or would it be CQC?). have three workers, but only pay tax for one? time for an inspection!

There are risks, and the stigma will force people underground. Holland and germany _still_ have a people trafficking problem

I suspect there are better ways, but unless it sex work can be done on the high street(well not literally), we will never truly over come the stigma, and subsequent exploitation of people.
I use it with TypeScript, and I find the wrapped lines to be far more readable. You get used to it.

Many people do, though I understand it's a point of religion for some to Not Wrap Lines.

Had a short contract recently with a company that had a small team of two developers. My widest reaching contribution to the team, I think, was to vote with the team lead to adopt Prettier.

Their previous approach was to _never wrap import lines_. There were literally 1000-character import lines. One of the developers was totally religiously opposed to ever wrapping them. Deltas in PRs were impossible to actually parse with huge lines like that, and if two people modified the same import line, merging the two changes was a nightmare.

But with a facade of Democracy, the team lead was able to finally adopt Prettier and its wrapping to the project. This despite the fact that I'd already let it be known that I was only staying until the end of the contract (about three months) and moving on. Whatever works.

> Unambigious is quite a claim.

No, it's not. The symbol systems used for math are deliberately engineered to make this true.

Exactly. It depends on the context. Sometimes "A" and "a" ArE tHe SaMe SyMbOl, SoMeTiMeS tHeY aReN't. (Sometimes "Y" and "TH" are the same symbol! [1]) Likewise, sometimes "3.0" and "3" are the same symbol, sometimes they aren't. But within a given context, in order to qualify as math, the mapping has to be unambiguous.

Hmm, probably not. Seems like the biggest PS3 cluster had 1,760 units and was rated at 500 teraflops (single precision float, presumably).

An NVIDIA A100 GPU does about 20 teraflops. So you only need 25 of those chips to match the theoretical rating, and they have many other advantages like much higher memory per core, etc.
I don't think it works like that.

There seems to be a need for a minimum primary settler population and a decent amount of native assistance- it's fairly easy to build a new town 10 miles from your last but I am not aware of any long distance unsupported settlers.

Incredibly touching too:

"I’ve had many clients that I remember fondly and who mean a lot to me. One client I would regularly hold in close skin-to-skin contact as he cried, and I cried with him; another was young and vibrant and too big for the small world around him. Another was a quadriplegic, and yet another was a talented writer who valued rarely seen things in me and encouraged me to do great things without ever once implying escorting was beneath me. Another whose wife had recently died and found me as his first foray into being with another woman, because he couldn’t bear to fully date another person yet. I’ve had clients figure out who I am and show up asking me to tripsit them on psychedelics, wildly successful CEOs who treated me as an intellectual equal, or people who were dying of cancer and didn’t want to go out without another bang (I recently looked up one of my favorite clients and instead found his obituary)."
