> A senior engineer that has always worked in the backend won't be able to be up to speed with a complex frontend app quickly and be as effective as a senior frontend.

Of course we can nit pick and poke holes all we want. But the basic premise, to use your example, is that an experienced backend engineer can work in a backend written in C/C++, Java, Go, Rust, Python, Ruby and so on. An experienced frontend can work in Angular, React, Vue, Svelte, JS/TS/Elm/ClojureJS/.....

And, so on...
“Critical Race Theory” and actual education policy, part one
I think Elon is right, but for the wrong reasons. There should be no fundamental reason that you can't drive a car with two really shitty cameras mounted inside the car looking out the windshield and windows. We somehow manage it every day. The amount of environmental information can't really matter that much since we're able to build a good-enough model of the world around our car without any of it.

The salient point is that technological innovation drives culture. Without the precautionary principle ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precautionary_principle ), norms and law continually play "catch up."

The trick for technologists is to make their technology ubiquitous before anyone sees the consequences. It's done over and over again and it is hard to see a way out that does not stifle innovation.

It's wild what new data can be used for fingerprinting. [1] describes using magnetic signals to fingerprint a device. [2] describes identifying inputted text from CPU interrupt data.

I wouldn't be surprised if health data can also be used to fingerprint users, even across devices. I wonder what lower level runtime information (e.g. CPU interrupt data) is available to apps.

I find now and then that less experienced programmers can be adroit with programming techniques, but will use those techniques inappropriately.

This actually makes sense in 2021 since we have the resources to allow things like this. 20 years ago this might have seemed insane.
So, this is my understanding.

Yes, everything you said is possible. But it requires each company to build an open api and make things interoperable.

Crypto pushes things to the protocol layer https://www.usv.com/writing/2016/08/fat-protocols/ which leads to things being interoperable. For example, https://www.blockchaingamer.biz/news/1869/the-dragon-fightin....

Since the protocols are public info, you can build off of them. It's why there is so much progress in all this space because the contracts are open, you can clone them, build new ones that make use of them etc.

Try doing that in a non crypto world. You are at the mercy of what Facebook, Instagram or whatever other company decides to open up to let you build off of.

It's a push for a more open internet, imo. Where data can flow fluidly where the users want it. Contracts are build out in the open, with the incentives pushed away from the application layer (less FBs) to the protocol layer (more stripes?). Applications can build off of the protocols but they make use of open data and open protocols that other applications can easily make use of as well. Making it easier to come in and compete with the FBs of the world.

I believe we are approaching a top. A lot of otherwise-undesirable places to live have doubled and tripled in price recently (while homes in desirable cities haven't moved much at all), fueled by COVID-19 and remote work spiking demand temporarily. Basically, city-dwellers paying city prices for rural real estate. I don't think this is a sustainable state of affairs and I believe this has created a giant bubble in home prices outside of cities. Something has to give. Either the price of homes in cities doubles, or the price of rural/suburban homes falls back down to earth.

The color of the yolks depend on eating a small number of things. Essentially if chickens eat yellow or orange pigmented things, the yolks of their eggs are darker. "organic" has nothing to do with it, feed choice does, and things to supplement egg color are often fed to chickens to make their eggs have darker yolks to make people think exactly this.

It is essentially marketing.
Fine, nothing controversial about anything that you wrote. I simply don't agree that it's wrong to shame people who soft-extort businesses or individuals.
> As such, if you ask a lot of folks who are online, you're more likely to get responses like "Why would you want to talk to someone else?" because the folks who actually like interacting with other humans in person are doing that instead.

I think this is hugely important to remember. Many regular people don't spend much time on social media. Of the ones that do, maybe 1 in 100 (or less!) actually ever post anything. It is an extremely biased source of data.
Yeah I wish we had gone more into nuclear power. Oh well. We’ll just pay through the teeth for power in the future.
I see some decent points in the post, but they are mostly about modelling.

What I'd like to say is even though you have a good model, that doesn't tell you what to do.

If you know it's going to rain next week, should you go corner the umbrella market?

If you are going down that route, there are a bunch of non-weather things that you'll need to know. Perhaps where to find a cheap source of umbrellas, likely places where people will be the most susceptible to buying, and so on. Basically domain expertise.

The major issue you will have is whether your own presence causes your model to be inapplicable. If a guy sees you at the umbrella factory, maybe he will decide that's a signal that the weather will rain next week? Maybe people will just stay home in that case?

The main thing I see with Zillow is a lack of due diligence. There seems to have been an idea that you can just have some data people, pour in data, and out comes money. In reality there's a lot of legwork in any business, and you pay for experience with money. In this case also your job.

I read the linked article with the feeling: "Ok, that's not for Portuguese. They want to attract remote workers, to live in Portugal, not to retain Portuguese people". Tom Bateman, isn't Portuguese. Less than 25% of Portuguese work force, worked from home during lockdown. This number will decrease, as soon as "covid is gone". Therefore I fail to see where this rules will help Portuguese people.

Yes, but that is because those states have passed laws specifically prohibiting automakers from directly selling to customers. Those laws were enacted long ago to protect auto dealers (as opposed to some sort of anti-Tesla maneuver). Such laws do not exist for most other goods.

TBC, you can't postulate a perfect machine, and then point out the limits of machines (even using the halting problem to do so!) and then say, oops, that shows that the perfect machine cannot be contained.

Either machines are perfect, they are not perfect, or the line between those will just perpetually be redefined over generations as the computers become one with humans.

In this alternate reality, why didn't the entrenched fossil fuel interests delay it as they delayed, in this reality, any attempt to introduce pollution controls, banish lead from gas, efficiency mandates, recycling, renewables, trains, sensible city design and belief in science generally (all widely accepted to have happened) and also nuclear (the world seems split on whether to blame the same fossil fuel groups for this, or, and I feel this is where you were heading, those damn hippies and environmentalists who, coincidentally I'm sure, have been under attack for decades from the very same groups).
I was lucky to take a grad-level math course in error correcting codes from Dr. Andrew Odlyzko, the author of the essay.

I read a lot of his papers ( http://www.dtc.umn.edu/~odlyzko/ ) in the hopes that I would learn something to improve my exam scores, but he has a knack for asking questions so fundamental that they have almost never even been properly formulated before.

If you have some time, I recommend reading a few of his papers. He completely changed my view of mathematics.
I've been using Rider for a couple of months now for Xamarin projects, as Visual Studio was for unknown reasons unbearable slow on my iMac - it totally destroyed my workflow and productivity.

Rider is not perfect, but in many ways miles above Visual Studio.

As Rider doesn't have any Forms editor build-in (AFAIK), I am slowly switching most of my views to fully code, so I don't need to rely on Visual Studio's visual layout editors anymore.

Maybe it's just my pop fiction preferences but if I search for any sort of modern horror or sci fi fiction, I just can't seem to find any content. Pirate bay on the other hand? No problem. Like I said though, almost any modern non fiction and a great deal of older fiction literature is definitely there, so I'm definitely not criticizing libgen. It's mostly wonderful, though one worries about malware luring in downloads, but on this maybe im just being paranoid.
>I don't think asking "just text me instead, I don't have Facebook" is really that high of a bar. Frankly, someone who's going to cut contact because they don't want to text me isn't really worth the effort in the first place.

Exactly. The way I look at it is this:

I want to be around folks who want to be around
me. And not all of those, either.

If you can't be bothered to stay in touch, then
you obviously don't want to be around me.

I'm perfectly willing to make the effort. It's
really not that hard.
If you're willing to do a bunch of work, you may be able to recreate something close to the original KFX. AFAIK you won't get kerning though. That seems to be tied to the renderer used for KFX files.

The other part is that there isn't a single definitive KFX file for a title. If you have an Oasis and I have a Paperwhite and we both download the same book, I believe we get different KFX files. There's no reason to doubt that there will be future Kindle devices that are even better with respect to typography and so you will need to re-download your library for that device.

Today, KFX can sometimes be De-DRM'd but it's gotten to the point where it's a cat and mouse game. It works for a while then Amazon changes something and breaks it. I don't doubt that essentially uncrackable DRM is achievable.

The real fix is legislative.

That’s only the case if you use the small (tiny!) subset of parts that everyone uses.

If instead of using some nice and common stm32FXX MCU, you need to work with some obscure Renesas or Fujitsu for example, prepare for a world of pain.

The good thing with web stuff is that you can swap frameworks until one does what you want nicely, and leave it at that. You can’t really change the IC in your board just because the I2C module is doing something weird.

Anecdotally, Beagle had zero marketing compared to the Pi. Only hardcore geeks had heard of it, whereas when the Pi came out, "normies" wowed at this "cheap credit card sized computer!" that they saw on the news. In schools and workplaces, you could find plenty of people who had heard of the Pi or even had bought one, but they'd never heard of the alternatives. Plenty of people literally think the Pi was the first SBC too. And Pi quickly ended up on the virtual shelves of mainstream electronics stores (along with the Arduinos); the alternatives never came (the only one I remember seeing is the Asus Tinkerboard which I guess has all the marketing power of Asus behind it so that's not too unexpected), and you still have to shop for them on Ebay/Ali*/whatever.

> there are scanner apps that will use bluetooth to tell exactly what car has the $2000 laptop in it

This might explain why a friend's car was hit and laptop stolen. Rear window tint was illegaly dark and the bag was out of sight under the passenger seat. Yet, they knew to hit that car out of a parking garage full of cars. And if they are using a bluetooth scanner it makes more sense.

Out of 100 people who read a comment, 99 of them move on even if they found it provocative. So the 1 that bothered to reply is the angriest of the bunch.

Yeah, I realize that I post too much on HN, but I don't feel that angry. More like a know-it-all motormouth who types fast enough to pollute a pretty big swath of the 'net in a short time. But I do think that the effort to participate online filters for motivated people, and frequently that's going to be some form of anger.

Yeah I never met to disparage or imply people who live in or are from NYC aren't anything less than amazing.

> The US has done that using fossil fuels though.

In that time period, non-hydro renewables were an order of magnitude more expensive than fossil fuels. They aren't anymore.

> Whether the US can do the same thing with net zero emissions is the big question.

Actually, even if it does so by building new coal plants, it would be done with net-negative emissions, because utility energy generation is more carbon-efficient than a tiny ICE burning gasoline (Which also requires a mountain of energy, and, uh, doing other ethically questionable things[0], to extract and refine.)

The problem to solve is not that of energy generation. We know how to build power plants. We haven't built as many in recent years, because electricity demand has temporarily peaked.

The problem to solve is figuring out the politics of getting electric vehicle infrastructure rolled out across the country[1]. Because it concerns land use, there's a lot of stakeholders that need to be on board for this. Fortunately, there are market pressures (people buying EVs, demand for charging infrastructure) that are pushing on this.

[0] Prior to the fracking boom, your taxes paid for imperial adventures in the Middle East, the primary purpose of which was oil security.

[1] Actually, I think the problem to solve is getting people out of cars and into scooters, mopeds, bicycles, buses, and trains, but that's neither here nor there.
