> Finding solid libraries is tricky since it's not very popular professionally.

If we're considering Clojure, then I would argue this point isn't true. Java interoperability in Clojure is really well supported and easy to accomplish, so leaning on the massive Java library ecosystem is possible. Also, anecdotally, a lot of Clojure libraries appear to be defunct, but just actually haven't been updated in so long because of the strong backward compatibility across Clojure versions.
Observations, really. I might add religious clergy to the list as well.
There's a few reasons as to why I believe it to be practically impossible to implement.

If everybody has the exact same amount of wealth, it means you've decoupled wealth from anything that is variable, most importantly human individual qualities like risk taking, hard work, talent, brilliance, persistence.

In a world where you can't better yourself economically, most incentives to innovate or produce would cease to exist. To still get a functioning society, a deeply oppressive regime is the only likely answer. After all, why would anybody work?

I suppose you're right that it's not impossible in the short term, just not sustainable in the long term. If nothing matters at all and is pointless, societies' output will degrade over time until the point it is unbearable.

That said, this is current thinking. It's possible to imagine a different equal wealth world that is futuristic. If we get so advanced as to achieve technical abundance, any citizen on the planet would have a high living standard, say upper middle class. Which satisfies almost everybody. And the standard is guaranteed over time, there's no insecurity to it. And those wanting even more things, have everything at their finger tips. Usage based, not owning things.

In such a world, money becomes meaningless. It's no longer a way to reflect scarcity, a way to secure your personal future, or a differentiator of status. Everybody is materially equal at a high and lasting standard. Differentiation might then be found intellectually or in social status. But probably the robots have taken over by then.

On the other hand, CSS might -- eventually, anyway -- offer the best compromise for facilitating reliable, responsible lawful access to mass consumer information technology.

Develop CSS in a manner that minimizes the noted risks. Such mechanisms are a fundamental compromise, philosophically. I am skeptical that those on opposing ends of the privacy debate will find sufficient common ground to achieve responsible implementations.

Deeper concerns regarding the misprioritization of security in consumer infotech design prevent meaningful basis to realize a suitable compromise for CSS tech, anyway.
The most useful railroad would be a single national rail network. Large network operators can refuse to interconnect or exchange traffic with small networks. When you’re small you want interoperability and FRAND tariffs to access the big networks. When you’re big you want to charge high rates, tie your other services with the dominant one, and sometimes refuse service to pressure small competitors into merging with you.
Yeah, for me it's the Wikipedia article about Wikivoyage first. The infobox to the right is still there, but I assume that's separate from the index (and searching e.g. "Wikivoyage London" gets no useful results).

As an anecdote, where I live Amazon has switched from Colis Privé to Colissimo. With Colis Privé, I used to always get my packages in my mailbox, even if they had to force it in a bit. Nothing was ever damaged because of this. With Colissimo, they come at usually 15h on a week day, may or may not call you, and either give the package to a neighbor or put it at the local post office. In short, the delivery went from great to garbage.

As for the current state of the "book industry" where I live: you have 4 choices, either Amazon, an independant bookstore, Decitre (a local bookstore chain), or FNAC (basically Amazon but with physical buildings). Independant bookstores are usually great at recommandations (way better than anything Amazon can do for example), but some of them are just a small-size FNAC, which kind of removes the point of an independant bookstore. As someone that almost only buy books when I know which book I want to buy, so I don't benefit a lot from independant bookstores, but people around me like them a lot.

It is hardly difficult to draw a distinction between ensuring a field looks like an expected datatype and ML analysis guessing at photo content.

In fact, trying to construct an argument conflating the two pretty much immediately runs in to the fact that one is adversarial, so it only works if you studiously ignore intent.

> As far as I can tell, no European country does anything of the sort

This data is pretty easy to find. One tip is to look at the requirements of vaccine certificates in use in Europe. Modern life is all about knowing which keywords to search for.

In the Swiss system, if you have a positive antibody test from a previous infection, you get a certificate for 180 days. Then you need another test. As long as you have antibodies detectable by the PCR test, you will have a certificate for the next 180 days. No vaccine needed. If you have covid, odds are you will have antibodies for the rest of your life[1].

https://www.bag.admin.ch/bag/en/home/krankheiten/ausbrueche-...

The EU covid certificate is given along similar lines as the Swiss. You need either have a vaccine, have a PCR that detects antibodies (180 day validity), or received a negative test (72 hour validity). You can find details here:

"At Harvard University, students who major in ethnic and gender studies can expect an ROI of negative $47,000. The film and photographic arts program at the University of Pennsylvania has an ROI of negative $140,000. Seventeen different programs at New York University have negative ROI, with the worst among them (music) leaving students over $500,000 in the hole."

The degree program you choose is what matters. You could go to the best school on the planet but if you are studying Gender Studies you are likely better off watching YouTube and buying lottery tickets.

Having music on doesn’t require an active listening experience, nor should it. And if I really want to engage with an artist, I’m going to see them live or buy their work on a medium I own whose playback I control. Sorry, but for me this stream credit system would be more of a pain than a benefit.

>If you want to blow up Israelis

As I said in my previous comment I have no opinion of intra semitic squabbles. I'm merely suggesting the US should have a foreign policy that treats other countries equally and that it would be in the national interest to be seen as a fair arbiter in the world.

>Also, "proportional response" is a red flag for me

If you are suggesting a disproportionate response that would be fine by me. There are details for military planners not foreign policy advisers.

>It seems like you won't break character.

I think you are arguing in bad faith if you accuse me of being 'in character'.

>Still, the overarching goal of destroying the US's relationship with Israel is the only political motivation I can think of.

As an American my only consideration is that which is in the national interest. Ideologically I'm mostly a america first non interventionist. I am well aware there are many in this country that would lobby on behalf of foreign powers and I think they should register under FARA.

I believe in the last census it was found that something like 48% of American adults had an associates degree or higher educational attainment. It seems that that fact, on its face, makes your assertion nearly impossible.
We've definitely gone much deeper in this version with data modelling.

This book though is to be clear (and that's in the first about sections) does not have much on product/event based analytics nor giant scale data as judged as 100+ TB data management.
It's not even the devs in general. It's their management and bean counters. Data is money.

I disagree that is has to be this way. I am getting older, but still exploring every day. You do need to keep moving on to green pastures as old ones have been chewed over. In 2021 I'll have lived in 6 cities in 3 countries.

I don't think there is anything implicit in this phrase anymore -- it quite explicitly accuses someone of posturing instead of paying the honest price for signaling.

For example, a peacock's tail is a honest fitness signal -- it does take a lot of effort to maintain (in food and vulnerability) so it serves as a good signal for fitness.

Naming an existing place after a virtue you want to pretend to hold is an empty virtue signal.

Rezoning the city to reduce car traffic would be a honest virtue signal for the same virtue.

"Empty" is usually dropped from "empty virtue signaling", because why bother.

Alt-right association or origin don't make the phrase automatically invalid. You could even say pretending that it does is itself a virtue signaling in the derogatory sense.

In the early days of the internet, search engines (and there were multiple, not just one major one) would show a broader variety of results so it was easier to stumble upon new interesting stuff and small, growing communities.

Nowadays, all the top results of Google are websites which are already popular so it's not possible to 'discover' a new community through Google. Other less popular search engines use very similar algorithms based on backlinks so they all show more or less the same results as each other.

VCs aren't interested in funding Google competitors, unfortunately. I'm sure there exists algorithms which are good at finding relevant websites and which are different than the one used by Google but it would disrupt the current economic order.
You missed the point.

The studying is not the problem anyone is talking about. People should study anything and everything they desire. The problem being addressed is spending a lot of money and taking out massive loans in order to study.

If you want to study Art, by all means definitely study Art. Just do not borrow $100,000 to do it.
In principle, yes, but your point isn't relevant to the issue of Wikivoyage and other sites disappearing from search results. Someone may not even know of Wikivoyage and be delighted to discover it through a search.
That was a pretty fast cave to Western political correctness manure. Missed opportunity for a CEO to show some backbone.

The article title is a bit bait-clicky but the M1 Pro/Max GPU performance does beg the speculation of "how far can Apple take it?"

Without a doubt Apple has the resources to take it pretty far by scaling the GPU core count further to 64, 128 cores and beyond, but what's their incentive? It'd be a colossal chip in both size and price for only 1-2 products: the Mac Pro and iMac Pro. I doubt those product volumes would justify the investment to make such chips.

This then begs the question: what GPU would power the future Mac Pro? Would Apple add PCIe5 integration to allow AMD GPUs to be added, or truly go solo?
A similar thing has happened with Google News. It used to be that News was a search engine that basically told you all the latest blog posts and discussions on a topic, rather than trying to provide capital-N News.

Scrum is pretty much always terrible.

Kanban or Lean are usually much better for smaller teams.

For a larger company, SAFe is a much better option but there’s a danger that by default people will suggest that individual dev teams follow Scrum (because that’s generally the default). Individual devs teams can use anything they want within each PI and usually Kanban or Lean will go much more smoothly for everybody.

That article partially validates my idea on why some people think that Lisp is such a force multiplier. The idea would be that compilers are one of the most important tool productivity-wise, and that Lisp allows you write your compilers yourself.

That would also explain why not Lisp: First, libaries are the new important tool for productivity, and any language can have that. Second, a shared understanding is very important, either for building programs, or building the libraries. Writing your own compilers may reduce that shared understanding. You can see this in some ecosystems where there is a split between people using the language in different ways (OCaml with Async and Lwt, the few alternative standard libraries; Scala with Zio, Cats, the base language; C++ with C with classes, the standard library and probably a lot of other styles that I haven't met yet; JS with the "classic JS", the frontend framework people, the functional/immutable people; many language with the FRP). Shared understanding is important for building and maintaining software. You could also argue that it's important to make programmers more replacable.

Another interesting thing is that some ecosystems are getting their macros: JavaScript has Babel, Coffeescript, Typescript.

> With regards to big players and economies of scale, it's notable that on the other side of the exchange we have more people brought into the fold than ever, whether we're talking about books

Are more people actually brought into the fold?

The rise of Amazon seems to correlate with fewer people also needing libraries and that libraries store fewer books.

The problem is that the prerequisite for using Amazon and libraries with fewer books is the wealth to fund a networked computer and the knowledge how to use it.

As someone from a blue collar background whose education utilized the dead trees of the local libraries quite extensively, I'm not at all sure that this wouldn't be an obstacle if I had to go through education today. That is concerning to me.

Even as someone highly trained in tech, I find that when I need knowledge from before about 1995, that knowledge has become increasingly difficult to access. The knowledge likely isn't online, and so many of the books have been destroyed that browsing the stacks is quite often unsuccessful nowadays.
