The daughter of the CEO, the CFO, who was held under house arrest in Canada at the request of the Trump administration. The allegations could have been real or trumped up (pun not intended). We won't get a chance to see that day now.

Julian Assange the journalist and publisher of Wikileaks is also held under captivity in England at the request of the Biden administration now.

Extraterritorial arrests are clearly bipartisan in nature.

No high powered highly paid lobbyists for Julian though, as he languishes in captivity.

Of course market cap is not the same as the equity value of a company. However market cap numbers are useful in comparing public companies to one another, and for broad categorizations of the scale of a business.

I think there was an experimental phase where people hired anyone regardless of qualifications, as long as they passed the interviews. Perhaps this was done in the spirit of TDD.

So in the same spirit, bootcamps would optimize just to pass those interviews. Bootcamp people certainly got some awesome jobs, then everyone realized they weren't cut out for the job.

At college, I was given the code for an operating system and asked to implement multithreading and a file system into it. There was little advice, you just had to learn to hack large codebases to pass. This kind of thing doesn't make it into interviews and thus, doesn't make it into bootcamps, but it's a vital work skill.

Facebook is a monopoly because it does its best to make the switching costs sky-high and keep them that way. There are many people who would delete Facebook or Instagram or WhatsApp but they literally can't because that's where their friends are.

It also does its best to control the experience end-to-end to make sure no one can innovate their way out of these algorithmic feeds and ads. People aren't building better client apps because they fear getting sued. Imagine using Facebook but doing so via a comfortable UI that puts you first, gives you complete control, and allows you stuff like cross-posting to other services. This is their nightmare.

And another problem: the US government is on their side from what I see happening (disclaimer: I'm not from US). It should be such that if they do try to sue you over a browser extension or an unofficial app or whatever, they would get laughed out of the court because you were in your right to do what you did. But unfortunately, there are apparently laws that do allow them to sue people trying to improve their own user experience on someone else's online service.

> “You still need someone with training in communications protocols, what speed and elevation to fly and where the system is unsafe to operate,”

The use of the word "protocols" underlines that it's kind of weird that we're still handling these comms through scratchy, staticy analog radio with humans at both ends. ATC uses computers to track flights and assign flight paths, why is it so difficult to have their computers talk directly with the aircraft? And I don't even mean remotely controlled flight, just "here's what ATC is asking you to do, press button to ack".

That's mostly a rhetorical question, mind you, since modernizing ATC is a notoriously difficult problem and FAA's NextGen has been under construction since 2007, with vague hopes of getting something usable by 2025. But still.

Young users are we're the growth is, older users actually have money.

Facebook is a top 5 market cap USA business. They have to think about boring things like, you know, revenue, not just user base growth.

Considering that FB et al make their money from selling ads, I'm curious about the actual expected monetary value per customer in the younger vs older demographics. Is there any public research on this topic?
That's fair - if you compare us to raw compute we are going to be well over an order of magnitude more expensive, even with the volume discounts we offer at our "contact us for pricing" tier.

Usually when folks are considering us, they're comparing us to the other alternatives which generally are either (1) have folks on staff do each regression test pass manually, (2) hire additional devs/automation engineers to build a code-based automation suite, or (3) have existing developers spend part of their time building and maintaining a code-based automation suite. When you look at the cost of those alternatives we tend to be pretty competitive.

Where we're not a good fit pricing-wise is when someone wants to run very simple tests at a high volume, like running synthetic testing / monitoring scenarios in production, or for load testing.

This is exactly how you get around those pesky laws that prevent you from doing it yourself as a governing body. You just let/encourage/look-the-other-way as private companies do it for you then you just buy access from them. All perfectly legal since those private companies are busy selling your private data to anyone and everyone else.

If ops is handling ops and you're using automated CI/CD, then all you need to do as a software developer is "git push," and it doesn't matter whether it's containers, VMs, or bare metal running the code, nor does it matter what's orchestrating the containers, VMs, or raw servers.

I've also done everything from bare servers to VMs to containers, in varying capacities. For small teams with fewer than millions of users, the fewer moving parts the better. One monolithic app scaled mostly vertically, one database scaled mostly vertically, and maybe one caching layer scaled horizontally, will be far more productive for development.
There's yet another model, which is to think of compulsory actions not in terms of crime, but in terms of competency to make decisions.

So, you deregulate drugs, but for those who fall into addiction, you evaluate their competency to decide whether or not to take drugs, and if someone(s) decide they're not competent (a panel, psychiatrist, psychologist, whatever), you force them into treatment, take away their drugs, etc and so forth. If a drug dealer provides them with drugs, then they're breaking the law for a different reason.

Part of the problem is this "one size fits all" with drugs, and with criminalizing use rather than treating it as a disease. Call it what it is: someone not being competent to make decisions about drug use, period.

Another thrilling EPHEMERALIZATION has been the development of the treatment of syphilis. From complete failure, syphilis therapy has progressed through meager but scientifically promising stages of complicated malarial infection compounded with 606 (neosalvarsan) to approximately certain success in simple electrical energy control, “sandwiching" 606, a chemical energy constituent, with electrically induced special cuitous and dangerous empirical trail blazing. The dramatic life- long tenuous and ultimately successful pursuit of this "miracle" by Wagner-Juareg is inspirational. The ephemeralization in this case was neither of space nor weight but thermal, i.e., a TIME- ENERGY progression of the "chronergeticosm." It is of more than casual interest to note that every one of the ephemeralization trends, whether in measuring or medicine, eventually hits the electrical stage wherein Einstein's formula, with “E” for energy, which can stand also for electricity, becomes the most simple symbol of the unity toward which the relative progression on the other side of the equation (mass) A corollary to the ephemeralizing-toward-pure-energy proingly, throughout industry-which simply translates science into bread and butter for people-is that the more abstract the means of accomplishment the more specific the results: Efficiency=doing more with less....EFFICIENCY EPHEMERALIZES.

> Please use Packer to build your images; don't do it on ASG instance deploy.

So you start using Packer to build your images. Your Packer script does "apt get install" and fails because something is holding the apt lock, and the author ends up writing more or less the same article.

Additionally, I work in Azure, and VM images in Azure are a world of absolute nightmarish pain there: a normal user literally cannot make the API call to bring up a VM with a custom image if the image is not in the same tenant. There is a way to do it with SP, but it is so completely and thoroughly undocumented as to be black magic. (Yes, if you Google, you'll be able to find Azure documentation on this exact subject. No, the instructions do not work.)

Yeah, I agree at the end of the day, it's the right way to do things, but it is an absolute, utter, PITA.

But then again, if you choose to not bring up a VM with a custom image, you get an unpinned image: "Ubuntu 20.04 LTS" is a moving target, and we once got one with a kernel that would BUG after ~5 minutes. Azure needed us to tell them what kernel we got from them.
I believe we agree. Let me rephrase my first sentence:

Legalization is a necessary component of the overall solution that also includes social services intended to reduce both the need for drug use and mitigate any impacts from it.

I just wanted to emphasize that without legalization, we'd be failing before we started to fix the problem as a society.

> As I flew, a licensed pilot sat beside me. He talked me through the flight and generally kept me in check. At one point, I turned east and twisted the joystick with a little too much confidence. He reached over, grabbed the joystick and corrected my attitude.

Sounds like the author just took a normal flying lesson but didn't call it that so they could write it up as a marketing piece for an app. Why the NYTimes ran it is beyond m… oh right money.

In my case, "with ZERO flight experience, I walked into a busy airport and within minutes I was at the controls of a full-sized airplane hurtling toward the White House!!" Translation: I signed up for a flight lesson during which my instructor let me turn the two-seater single propeller plane 360°. Both statements about that same event are technically true; one is so misleading it's basically a lie. (BTW it's called a "discovery flight" and it's super fun—highly recommend!)
Yes, I've been reading about people's experiences with visas all afternoon now, it does indeed seem quite different from what I've known.

To be honest though, I kind of wanted to believe. Breifly reading the visa requirements and being told the direct contrary was definitely concerning but I think I just put faith in the possibility of being an exception. Still possible, but now I know the likelihood. <1%.
I keep redrafting a blog post in my head about this cycle and how it means that even though the world is getting better, every specific brand is getting worse. (There was a wonderful post about Starbucks specifically that I now can't find, talking about how they grew their reputation by having hand-made coffee that people loved before switching to machine brewing that required less skill and people wouldn't hate).

I suspect we're politically rather opposed, as I see this as a consequence of capitalism putting a price tag on everything, and something that regulation is appropriate for (some way of forcing brands to publicise when they've changed something, so that customers can know whether a review they read still applies, although the details of how to do that would be difficult). Indeed I'd argue that the only reason customers can trust a brand like Coca-Cola is strong regulation in the form of trademark law.
You don't need heroin to reveal this to you. That's in part why burnout is a thing. Just try really hard to do what you think is right, and then be shown that what you put your energy into is basically worthless. Then you start thinking about what ultimate prospects every hypothetical financial reward could result in, and it's pretty bleak out there. Then once you're ready to get back into it after being fired, because you're running out of money, you realize that it takes 4x the effort to do 1x the work for 0.25x the spiritual reward that initially drove you to get into it, and so you turn to heroin or start a farm.

I'm trying to imagine any computer that would have coped with my IFR search and rescue flight last week. Non-standard requests and things that can't be seen by ATC affect things a lot. One other silly small example that feels complicated was requesting a visual approach but having to wait for a vector because there was one exactly-airport-shaped cloud in the way.

I think pilots get a lot of situational awareness as well from listening to the common frequency.
Supposedly rental car companies keep their cars an average of 13 months and are constantly turning over their fleet. This order is over at least a year, so I imagined it's just that they will be buying Model 3's instead of whatever else. The advantage is their service costs and depreciation will be greatly reduced and they can keep the Tesla's 2-3x longer before needing to replace them. This should be a huge reduction in their costs. I would guess they buy their cars with debt anyway, so not like they need to plunk down $4b all at once.
Zen4 will be going head-to-head with Apple A16 on N5P next year and it's pretty doubtful we see Zen4 come out ahead on perf/watt let alone IPC.

It's not all node advantage - Apple designed a much wider core than is feasible with x86. They have an insanely wide reorder buffer and many execution units, and can decode more instructions to keep it all fed. Even with the node shrink allowing you to throw more transistors at it, x86 poses obstacles to using the same approaches as Apple, and they've exhausted most of their own approaches.
