I don't know that Ruby support is why it's widely adopted. Ruby is common in some spaces, but not a wildly popular language at all.

I honestly think some popular project (maybe Docker Compose or something from HashiCorp?) used it for a config file and then everyone else started doing it too.

Modest improvements in communications (the bulk of which are taken up by ... decidedly non-critical messages). Adtech. Another few days on the long-term weather forecast.

It takes a certain amount of stunted moral development to so fully invest yourself into this binary. A total lack of caution around unlimited state power. A total lack of awareness of the privilege you have to be able to ignore or encourage that unchecked power.

"If you aren't for frictionless sharing of your home video feeds with police, you must support criminals" is something straight out of an Orwellian dystopia.

You see nothing wrong with an intimate relationship between the violent, white-supremacist infiltrated[1] arm of the state and a monopolistic corporation that imposes such severe time constraints on its workers that they regularly have to pee into bottles[2].

> we're just throwing ideas out there

This language was proposed by Wyden at least two years ago, and has gone through multiple rounds of refinements. (For example, the original text didn’t exempt private assets.) It’s not unrelated because income taxes are how we pay for general expenses in this country. (Granted, limiting it to billionaires always struck me as a way to make it palatable for a lower, e.g. $10mm, threshold.)

I live in a city near Oakland and Ring is an incredibly helpful tool. The alerts around porch pirates and burglar breaking into houses make the aggravated crime situation of the past two years almost tolerable. I often see videos in the Neighborhood app in which potential burglars detect the camera and turn around. Other times, they cover the camera as soon as they notice it, but hopefully they have been recognized by then. From my experience, these devices truly help when it comes to crime prevention and keeping the neighbor safe.

This is the sort of black-and-white attitude that allows corruption and abuse of police resources to go unpunished.

I disagree with you because police don't go after criminals. They go after suspects. The duty to determine if a person has committed a crime falls on a judge and jury.
Just put a reasonable threshold on it.

Any assets, above $100M, used to collateralize a loan are taxed as if they are realized capital gains at the time that you collateralize the loan.

I don't think the loan itself should be taxed, but if you use assets to collateralize a loan, those assets should be taxed as if they're realized income—since by taking the loan you are now "realizing" the value of those appreciating assets.
What's the current fate of Slashdot?
I think they mean that the theory of dark matter has an infinity of parameters. For every point in space, one can (rather arbitrarily) assign a mass of dark matter to make the theory fit observations.
This is not a loophole. Collateralizing a loan against assets does not produce income. It produces cash and an even larger liability.

That loan still has to be paid off with separate, regularly taxed, income.

Also this is a strategy used all the time by the 99%. It's called a second mortgage. This proposal would mean that taking out a loan against the equity in a home would become a taxable event.
I think it depends on the maturity of the company. If we are talking about startups CTO - usually the CTO is also the first engineer of the company. So in that case, you have to code something. Now, if we are discussing about mature startups or companies with resources to hire other people to do the work; then I believe the organizational, people, and other skills will be more relevant.

Your grandma bought a house for cheap, you inherited it, and because it's in the silicon valley, that house and the plot is now worth eg. $10mio. Your buddies grandma did the same, but her house is in bumfuck alabama, and it's worth $50k.

Technically you two own the same thing, but you'll get fucked by taxes and he wont.

Why would you be taxed on something you you already paid tax for to buy?

Renting out the house? Sure, get taxed. Selling the house? Sure, get taxed on the price difference. You're growing weed there? Sure, got taxed on profits from that. Otherwise, you never own anything.
That's what the lawyers always tell you. "Out of an abundance of caution" etc. etc. yada yada yada. Always listen to your lawyers :)

Now, for the reality: I never saw this happen. How would they know you looked at their patent? From your server logs? From the PTO's? Do you think they file discovery on your personal computer? (Just don't send an email about their patent or write anything down about it -- THAT they can track.) Very, very few infringement suits go to trial anyway.

I think the real reason the lawyers tell you this is so they won't have to answer your questions. And because you might misinterpret the claims (not at all a hard thing to do).

If your management and lawyers want to, they can get an official opinion from a lawyer that you're not infringing. That's something you can use.

Honestly, maybe people should pay taxes on that. Remember, it only applies to the gain in value, so loans up to the original purchase price would not be taxed. The tax is assessed based on the maximum collateralization minus the purchase price and minus any value previously taxed as a capital gain, as I understand it. In a practical sense, they have gained spending power they wouldn't have otherwise.
Protecting privacy and preventing the weaponization of private data is critically important. Recognizing what constitutes private data seems to be the difficult thing, so I'm trying to clarify it.

I understand it seems extreme, but it's really not.

Any data generated by or on a user's device is private data. Recording that data is surveillance. No matter how harmless it might seem, data collection should be consensual, transparent, and ephemeral. You should specify, explain, and obtain consent for any and every variable. Anything you do with the data should be reportable to the user. Anything less creates opportunities for abuse.

Logging ip address connections is a great example. It's simple and trivial but how many RIAA piracy lawsuits do we have to see inflicted on innocents before we decide keeping those logs might not be a great idea?

The misuse of metadata by law enforcement through plausible narrative crafting is ubiquitous. It's not about the developer's intentions, it's about collection of surveillance records that can be seized or stolen and weaponized.
PageRank has nothing to do with h-index to my knowledge.

It's a false choice. If you say no, and the police really want it, they can subpoena Amazon and compel them to turn over "your" footage. You would never even learn that it happened.

You shouldn't trust a 3rd party with your personal privacy. Please don't draft all of your neighbors into the digital dragnet.
Or if the ex's neighbor across the street did, right? Hopefully that neighbor cares about the ex's privacy as much as they do, or no crimes occur within half a mile of them.

At the individual level, yes, there will probably always be a man outcompeting any woman at the top of a competitive field. But on a population level, the instability [0] of matches where the woman out-earns the man means that the pattern of women outnumbering men in ever-more prestigious fields is going to leave some very successful women without good matches. And foregoing that weaker match has increasingly little apparent downside when you're finding some career satisfaction and materially very comfortable.

I think you're referring to the fact that successful marriages are largely becoming a luxury good, but these can both be true for a couple of reasons. First, using education as a proxy for attainment (please give me something better, because I haven't found it) I struggle to find statistics going past four year degrees to really talk about the top or competitive fields, and that isn't sufficient. Second, it seems reasonable to me that the women (and men) excelling professionally would have, on average, better chances of making a marriage work; it may be that a strong correlation between women's propensity for success in career and success in marriage is obscuring a negative effect of outlier-achievement on rates of getting and staying married that is also coming into play.

Besides all this, it's consistent with what I encounter in my daily life.

This reminds me of a recent project where I was doing some maintenance work on a system where one component was using ZooKeeper, which uses a distributed consensus algorithm similar to Paxos.

Guess which component was the only one that failed to come back up after a simple reboot?

Turns out that ZooKeeper has default "boot" timeouts that are too short for typical JVM startup times on some hosting platforms, so it just throws up its hands and never tries again after the first attempt.

I want to know who was the person that sat down, cracked his knuckles, and then want about writing the code to deliberately add a failure mode to what is otherwise a very failure-tolerant algorithm.

>It's the same pathway that people use to take a loan against their property and other assets, and having to pay tax on that is absurd

you bought house for $600K cash (for simplicity). Some years later the house appreciated to $1.5M, and you take out a $1M loan against it - you are obviously realizing a $400K of the value of the house as otherwise those additional $400K can only come from thin air. So those $400K of the realized value of the house (not the loan) need to be taxed with the house adjusted cost basis becoming $1M. If you sell the house later for $1.5M the remaining $500K would get taxed as the difference between sale proceeds and the adjusted cost basis.

Just a piece of anecdotal evidence, one of my bosses has since become a VP of engineering at Netflix without a development background. One advantage he always had was a fantastic group of engineers around him. He did a great job identifying the right leads, letting them drive technical decisions and it was his job to align those with the business objectives and then “manage” the team.

I could easily see him in CTO role in another large organization but may not do as well at a smaller startup where he’d have to provide more hands on technical leadership, perhaps without those strong senior engineers.
Hard disagree.

A senior leadership team without a key decision maker is fundamentally lost and seeks only self preservation through short term goals.

Here's another example: every government on Earth. All have a single key decision maker at the top. In democracies they can be kicked out, but they have total control while they're in power.
Yes this is cool. But c’mon — these scientists should know better (correlation vs. causation, yada yada).

Humans have always believed that their current state of technology reflects how the brain works — clay pots and waterworks, electric circuits, cogs, etc. Just because there’s an “I” in AI and a “neural” in front of “network” doesn’t mean you’re not just mimicking something as opposed to replicating how it actually works…
I'm working on a side project right now where one of the applications is a platform to have AI engage in negotiation without a general purpose natural language.

Dipspeak is a language for a universe where the only physical things are bits of plastic on a map of Europe and the only physical interactions between bits of plastic are hold, move, support and convoy.
Intel Unveils 12th Gen Intel Core
My own experience with this as a bootstrapper has been:

in the beginning, code up the product, even if it's not the best, get something that works.

once the product is in a usable state enough to gain revenue, use the cash to get more engineering manpower.

now that there are a few folks, code in tandem with engineers while managing team, tapering down coding as team grows.

now my day to day is probably 20% coding, 60% product/project management + QA, 20% recruiting/hiring

You have no expectation of privacy in public or in someone else’s domicile with some specific exclusions (like bathrooms or bedrooms). And sure, maybe you could argue this for basically any indoor residential camera (though I would disagree)

But here is where I lost him

> Amazon + Police surveillance partnerships function with no oversight or accountability.

This statement and the one above it are completely incompatible. The oversight is literally done by the owner of the camera.

It seems built into the application. And I will admit I myself have avoided these, and instead used Wyze cams with rtsp only specifically because of that mistrust (and the principle that Amazon can comply without my consent, even if they don’t currently)

I'd honestly give up some performance for more battery life! M1 Pro max is no sloth when it comes to performance either.
It can be enlightening to try something new, for example, Rusts borrow checker, containers etc.. But beyond that there's no need to actually code production.

Looking at the actual code and observing the process at that level of granularity can be helpful as well.

But given the amount of focus, attention, issues around specific compliance, reviews, I'm not sure if it's a good idea for the CTO to be coding when the company has >50 Engineers, they'll probably just be in other people's way.

So definitely 'hands on' experimentation, but I don't think it generally would be production coding.

That said - there are certain types of execs who really love that, and find extra time to do it, if they want to stay late Wednesday and Thursday nights, then that could work as well.
I retrofitted a WWVB clock movement in my kitchen clock. It's quite nice not having to set it up when changing the battery or when DST shows up.
How much of that benefit do you think is attributable to the networked aspects of Ring, vs., say, a similar level of coverage of non-centralized cameras?

I guess this could come off as a loaded question, but I'm genuinely interested in the perspectives of actual users.
