I think the picture is more complex than donor states and receiver states. As the article below argues, the Rockefeller study that the data comes from has flawed methodology.

New York for example benefits tremendously from its large financial industry that pays a lot in taxes. But arguably the industry is so concentrated in New York today because of federal laws that force the federal reserve to conduct its financial activities only in New York, among other hard coded advantages that the state has lobbied for. In addition, retirees who receive billions in benefits each year from the federal government commonly leave the state in favor of places like Florida, further distorting the picture. Unlike more fiscally prudent states, New York also has billions in tax exempt bonds outstanding that deprive the federal government of revenue but are not counted by the Rockefeller study.

I have a hunch that if it was "simple" the port owners would have done that a long time ago.
As noted, millages are typically lower in Europe. Infrastructure is less extensive, ways shorter, there's more public transport and serves a notable quantity of daily commute, and there's less need for long-range. So calculations are different for a European scenario. (Tesla cars are really built for an US environment, which is rather atypical for everywhere else.)
Changing abstractions is harder than changing duplication, thus wrong dry is harder than delayed dry.

All of the established domestic car manufacturers have significantly expanded their operations in Berlin in the last 5 years (though mainly R&D, especially software). Germany has relatively high immigration, and it's a lot easier to draw highly qualified immigrants to Berlin than to the Southern German countryside due to the youthful appeal and lower CoL of the city. The US, OTOH, has become more hostile to immigration over time. From a "competition for global talent" PoV, Berlin is a decent stake in the ground in many ways. Tesla also has plans to build an R&D site on the land of the recently shuttered Tegel inner city airport.

It's funny how this works though: customer makes yet another request, at first your response is 'forget it'.

> The thing that burns out web developer is web development. The constant shift of technologies...

I have a friend who manages a dev team in a small webdev shop (~8 people total) and is about to quit because of the customers delivery schedules. These customers are BIG name (billion dollar) companies so they feel pressured to grind and get the site built otherwise the customer will just pay some other desperate company who will. So it seems that on top of tech churn there are insane customer demands ruining the mental health of everyone involved.

Roku: aggregating multiple streaming providers in a provider-agnostic way

Google: centralizing streaming through the YouTube brand (considering it comprises multiple offerings now)

I'm not a huge fan of Roku, due to data collection, but it's apparent who's on the side of the user here. Google/YouTube has finally grown big enough to be everything we hated about legacy content providers.
The Cinebench R23 results for 1950x[1] and M1Max[2], including single and multi-core:

single multi
M1Max: 1562 14970
1950X: 1035 18780

Remember that the M1 Max has 8 high performance and 2 efficiency cores vs. the 16 cores of the 1950x. Again, this is a pretty convincing victory - 1.5x single core perf in a laptop - this is not a HEDT part.

It's doubly weird, because YouTube TV is literally just a side project -- There's at least a 50% chance Google just totally shuts down YouTube TV within the next five years. (Like they already did with Google Play Music, and Google Play Movies + TV once before).

Google's going to war with Roku over something that Google doesn't care about at all (it's one minor ancillary line of business to them), but is Roku's main and only meaningful line of business.

If you want to be locked into a single vendor, you can already buy Google TV from Sony or TCL (where this vendor-lock-in is guaranteed). The whole point of Roku is that it's independent, it's not operated by any one streaming/media service, it's not a "Google TV" or an "Apple TV" or a "PlayStation TV" or whatever.

Roku has to fight this, tooth-and-nail, or all other services on the Roku platform will demand the same, and totally destroy the entire Roku product lineup.
Angular is really bad. So is Redux. They are some of the worst over engineering projects I've seen.

Typescript is really cool, but no one on that team cares about "compile times". Of course what I actually mean is "type checking time".

There are very few good things on npm.

React has the right idea (The DOM is slow, so let's put a "virtual dom" infront of it so we minimze our interaction with the DOM), but the implementation could be a lot simpler (and smaller). See "preact" for example. But I'd go further and question the whole "Class components" and "function components" and "hooks". Why not just functions that take arbitrary arguments and return a vdom tree? You can easily add constructs for caching return values if none of the inputs changed since the previous run (some system like the 'observables' from Knockout or 'atoms' from Jotai/Recoil).

esbuild is really great, it completely changed my development experience. The interesting thing is it's not written in Javascript at all. It's written in Go.
I have to remind myself of this all the time. The older I get the worse I am about asking questions on topics I don't know. "Ugh I should know that by now", is a pretty common thought that goes through my head. Definitely trying to unlearn this habit by being willing to jump in Discord groups and asking dumb questions. Never a bad experience so far!

> and that if we all did our part

We didn’t “all do our part”, though. Only 57% of the US population has been vaccinated.

Insofar that any deal was made, we haven’t fulfilled our half of the bargain.

The vaccines were never sold as something that would stop the virus in its tracks with only half the population vaccinated. They also weren’t sold as having unlimited durability. People needed to not only “do their part” but do it in a timely fashion. One unfortunate weakness of the vaccine is that it has to actually be injected to be effective.
That's one answer. Another is that you would be within your rights to draw the inference that the system you are observing is conscious (which is slightly different, and deeply unsatisfying to many).
Supply chains are in a dire state right now, with less-agile firms slow to adapt. And if you believe the thesis behind "Innovator's Dilemma" the scale tuned for ICE is a liability not an asset.

Will be interesting to see how it plays out.
Threads are definitely a worse experience. However, I think you're overestimating the ability of one's audience to transfer to another platform. It's hard enough to get someone to read something on Twitter, let alone get them to click through to another site.

Threads capitalize on the momentum of writing a good tweet, without losing a reader by making them go to another site.
They don't if you outsource the labor to a Polish staffing company and feign ignorance about their handling of labor issues. This is how most large industry companies handle cheap foreign labor in the country. Employing most of your industrial work force directly is so pre-Agenda-2010.

This practice actually became somewhat infamous during the pandemic when an outbreak in a meat factory shined light on Eastern European workers' working and living conditions. The company went on to hire thousands of workers directly in an attempt to salvage some of its reputation but previously had outsourced the work to a network of such staffing companies it claimed to have no insight into while actually having funded (and likely owned) several of them.

If you want to 'save the nation from tax filing', California should begin by simplifying its own tax forms.

That is the point of the comparison, that they do matter and somehow California is worse...

the problem is "subjective experience". How do you define that? Otherwise that definition is at best incomplete.

> no one wants to explain themselves to a stranger we will never meet again

Even though I, personally, feel the way you do, the above doesn't ring true. Many people crave those small interactions with strangers, and welcome the opportunity to talk about themselves. That's the reason they're a social norm.
Summoning that successful kind of creative, productive, free play state of mind is really difficult in software coding job interviews. There's a lot of back and forth, warming up as well as looking up things and experimenting to reach that flow state. Once you're in it, you know you're in it. You've shipped robust apps thanks to it.

Having to explain that almost instinctive process to a complete stranger who has control over your career and income can really hamper or destroy the ability to get into that groove. I've found it really useful to know about flow, what can get it going and when it's just not happening, and most interviews just aren't set up to encourage it. Csikszentmihalyi wrote a shorter book called "Finding Flow" which speaks of creating situations that bring out the best in others and us.

The US bankrolled the research, development and manufacturing of all these vaccines and in return they gave Big Pharma billions in profits -- and complete and total indemnity from side effects and manufacturing defects.

The way the supply contracts are written (according to leaks), totally indemnify Pfizer from any liability, including wilful negligence and manufacturing errors. They have zero accountability and all of the reward, and it was all bankrolled for them.

The entire problem. You're not speaking to this person to figure out what they actually believe, you're forming a belief based on your own assumption.

This is wrapped up in a lot of bureaucratic language. Essentially, impoverished people are being convinced to sell a kidney in illegal organ sales to foreign recipients.

Could we get a moderator to change the title to say YouTube TV instead of YouTube? The dispute between Roku and Google has nothing to do with the latter, and is confusing to readers.

Edit: I did not realize that the base YouTube app was specifically mentioned in the article, alongside YTTV. That's surprising and is a bigger deal than I'd thought before.
vscode.dev + Live Share: The “We” in “Web IDE”

This is an interesting one because the pandemic policy response divide is right on the line where it created an unlikely coaltion of superstitious villagers, with 2+ stddev intelligence people in the habit of checking their priors and rejecting perceived obvious untruths. To extend the metaphor, perhaps it's a coalition of people beyond a stddev in both directions, who together form a huge cohort, if not even potentially a small majority. They share the same sentiments and instincts about concreteness and untruth, but have radically different tools to express it.

What broke pandemic policy is it was run by people who believe sincerely that they need to deceive people for their own good. It's the maternalism of noble lies. While there is a lot of uncertainty in policy circles about science and truth, there is very little uncertainty about power, and when you have that, truth is what you say it is.

The policy response is absolutely using the crisis as leverage to ensconce measures that would not have been legally or politically possible without it. The only meaningful question (I think) is whether the people behind the policies and supporting them are protagonists or antagonists. Almost nobody is asking, "wait, are we the baddies?" The reason "the banality of evil," is such a controversial idea is it places more intellectual and moral responsibility on each of us than the long tail of people are willing or able to accept, and so it's easier to attack the person with the idea than clear the bar it implies.

That's not conspiratorial, that's critical, and I'm sympathetic to people accused of conspiracy thinking because we've let the culture conflate those - to whose benefit is left as an exercise to the reader. ;)
Imperfect analysis with known limitations still has value. We can build upon it and improve. I'd rather have it out in the open than omitted.
I've been riding Uber since it was black only and done over text messages (pre-app). The prices now are insane comparatively. I got a car instead and it's cheaper to make my payment, garage it, and insure it than take even UberX everywhere I need to go.
Yeah I think we're agreeing, they're both to blame. I guess the reason it might feel like people are blaming Intuit more is that they literally shouldn't exist, they owe everything to this bullshit arrangement, so it's easier to make blanket statements. I don't want the IRS to disappear, I just want it to make better decisions about this particular issue. But I do want Intuit to disappear because it's a completely worthless parasite.

That doesn't mean the people running Intuit are worse than the politicians making decisions about the IRS, it's just easier to make a singular judgement about their organization.
I don't get Thether. It's an embodiment of everything cryptocurrencies are supposed to be against:

• It's issued and controlled by a central authority that you must trust.

• It's pegged to an inflationary government-issued fiat currency.

It's not a cryptocurrency. It's just a dodgy private bank with a very over-engineered inefficient API.
I do a round-robin with friends/family where we each pay for a preferred service and share the accounts with everyone in the pool. Every service I've used has been extremely accommodating of this and allows for multiple profiles.

Lithographs from M. E. Descourtilz’s Atlas des Champignons (1827)
This has happened to me frequently at my current company. I get pulled into a meeting about something that I have no context on because it touches my area of expertise, and the discussions have apparently been stalling out.

I brace myself to be the idiot. I'm going to waste everyone's time asking questions that everyone knows the answer to, and I just got looped in, so everyone's going to feel like they need to walk through all the super-obvious stuff to satisfy the one guy who didn't do his homework.

So I start asking questions, and slowly begin to realize that nobody in the room has any idea what they are talking about. That there are fundamental misunderstandings and misconceptions about existing systems. And, naturally, it turns out that the questions I have are questions that other people have.

This has happened to me so often now that you would think the sinking feeling I get before I brace myself to look stupid would go away, but it never does.
Are you a robot? If not you already know. The images you see, the feelings you feel, the smells etc, the fact that the something that gathers all of that into a neat packet to be experienced is the consciousness. Every human feels these things are special and thus experience consciousness but it has yet to be described by science how that works.

This is one of those places where it's important to keep in mind that "cancer" is just a class of disease and that there are (at least) hundreds of different things in that class.

Immunotherapy is a thing and shows promise in some cancers. Moderna was founded around using mRNA technology in the cancer space. But as with all advances in cancer treatment, it won't look like a Big Bang "cure for cancer", instead some cancers will realize some (potentially huge) benefit.

>As I read the book I knew that type 1 and 2 were oversimplifications

They announce as much in the beginning of the book. They said there is overlap between the different systems and it is an abstraction exercise grouping together various capabilities that do not necessarily fit neatly together. In spite of that, they think it makes sense to consider two different categories broadly speaking.
