> Publishers angling for retweets to get nickels from twitter's algorithm is anathema to professional journalism.

Isn't that what they're already doing? Except the payer is the advertiser instead of the platform itself via the subscriber.
I've also come to this same conclusion about two years ago.

Given the pace of new compliance I've had to onboard in the last few years, I think it's coming a lot sooner than 2030.

Maybe 2024 or 2025.
I do exactly this, except I take a time-stamped photo of it and throw the hard copy away. Google docs automatically turns it into a PDF.

It increases the Big O on capturing it, but reduces space and access complexity.

For long running docs like titles, and certifications, passports, and whatnot I stick in an important papers storage Tupperware so it's safe from water damage
Our company is not many magnitudes larger than any company and it is not remotely cost competitive for us to run any of our stack on AWS (heavy data ingest (hundreds of billions of inserts a day,) many disks/'big data' backend, hundreds of customers accessing the data. Even 1 time deals to get us into the door are not cost competitive, let alone long tail economics. Cloud for fast storage and high bandwidth usecases is extremely expensive.
Yeah. I had to remove everything from the test taking room including furniture and a desk lamp.
How is this any different from any other sort of bundling done by Apple news or Google news?

You're free to obtain a subscription to any of those media companies personally and simply follow the link without Twitter Blue.

Most people likely aren't going to want to manage multiple subscriptions and will instead opt to not read the article. At least with Twitter Blue the user doesn't have to worry about multiple subscriptions and can simply read the story when they want to.

Additionally, they now have a notification that indicates that they won't immediately hit a paywall when they click on the link.

Ultimately, media companies need to be compensated, and this doesn't seem to be disadvantaging anyone...
I feel like when it comes to remote work the great divider will be 'cost of living' versus attained wages (and not 'talent.') As in: suppose I live in India where the cost of living is low. Due to wage arbitrage I can satisfy my cost of living quite easily by taking on low skilled software contracts. In this position, I am happy to take on the work because it more than covers my basic needs. On the other hand, if I want to take on more skilled work I'll have to specialize.

Specialization means spending even more time to learn skills at the expense of earning money. So it costs money to specialise. And in poorer countries where the population is high, the competition for jobs will be high, and the less money there will be left over to invest in specialization. So by virtue of being born in a poorer country one is less well-off when it comes to specialization.

The West won't be at risk of 'losing' jobs to remote work because we're not competing for the same jobs. Specialization will set the bar for hiring as it always has done, and the same scarce pool of talent will have to be used to fill these jobs. There will be a greater number of choices for specialized engineers to fill-- and it will mean more local jobs get filled by a more diverse pool of candidates. Looking at just local jobs would seem to imply that we're worse off, but not when you compare the number of new jobs that will be open to qualified engineers as a whole.

Almost all computer science masters programs exist to take money from foreign students who are looking to gain residency.
Read the ToS. They also have a list of what has been deemed acceptable and unacceptable.
Unfortunately, I suspect $2.99 per month isn't sufficient to make these publishers whole with what they would have earned from the same users.

Only a small fraction of twitter users will sign up, and the overlap with the kind of users likely to spend money on advertisers products will be big.

I suspect this is true at nearly any price point. Even if it cost $50 per month, the tiny fraction of users who did sign up would be worth more than $50 in monthly ad revenue, since those are the kind of people who will subscribe to other high value services.
Keyword args are real nice for maintaining API compatibility but they're commonly passed down through the call stack resulting in a lot of:

"foo(arg, my_keyword1: my_keyword1, my_keyword2: my_keyword2, my_keyword3: my_keyword3)"

that now becomes:

"foo(arg, my_keyword1:, my_keyword2:, my_keyword3:)"

that is just a bit less for your eyes to have to digest and parse, although i can see leaving the trailing colon off as being a common bug.

sometimes you can just double splat both the signature and the wrapped invocation, but if you need to peel off kwargs in the wrapper method then you're stuck passing them all back in, or else you fall back to pulling kwargs out of a hash (plus you lose some level of auto-documentation in the method signature that way).

it'd be kind of nice to have a literal which could be passed into the method invocation that would expand out to all the kwargs that were passed, while still being explicit in the definition.
Where did I say that unequal outcomes must, necessarily, be caused by racism? What is misleading about what I said?

It seems like you're reading a specific thing I said about a specific scenario and universalizing it in a way you imagine I might universalize it. I'd love to hear a critique of what I actually said, or we could talk about our views of society in a wider way, but I can't respond to this combination of generally dismissing what I said and attacking what you imagine I might think.
A semi-related story from ancient past.

Back in the university days we've built an information retrieval system. It ran on an IBM PC XT, with a 20MB HDD, which was pretty slow.

The heaviest queries to the information system involved full scans. They were too slow, slower than had been agreed with the customer.

So we installed a disk compression program, maybe Stacker or something similar. It ate some of the already slow 8088 CPU, and some of the scarce RAM. But crucially it compressed the data to about 50% of the original size.

This made the number of blocks to read, and, most importantly, to seek twice as low. The query speed increased twofold. We successfully completed the (tiny) software development contract.
Yeah, no kidding. Nap seems like an ironic name. Punching up the contrast a bit would be a good idea
Your Ferrari dealer at least has a point though. You also can get most of your money back if you decide to sell later.
Nah, it totally works. Yall should try it.
Not sure why the cases you cite are alarming. I actually think there are two levels of signalling in these cases 1. what the brand promises - and the corporate owner will usually want to protect that and 2. The reputation of a P&G or Unilever.

I think problems often happen when the big corporate owners sell to private equity who are more often interested in boosting short term earnings.
Yeah because the government is known for allocating money where it's needed. War.

I'd think that receiving even 1/5th the rate limit in a 5 minute window would be disorienting enough to render alerting effectively useless.

I'd question the configuration which fires that many alerts in that time frame, and suggest improving alert aggregations and dependencies to get the number down to one or a handful of meaningful alerts.

From the draft bill:
"SEC. 111. ANTI-DISCRIMINATION.

(a) PROHIBITED CONDUCT.— A covered entity may not, through the collection use or sharing of personal information, discriminate against or make an economic opportunity unavailable on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, political ideology, or disability of a persons or class of persons.

(b) EXCEPTIONS.—Nothing in this section shall prohibit a covered entity from using or sharing personal information for the purpose of advertising, marketing, or soliciting economic opportunities to underrepresented populations."

The juxtaposition here makes it appear that every person could be considered a member of an underrepresented group and therefore that nothing will prohibit data sharing for marketing purposes. This bill looks like it is written with the goal of killing consumer privacy protections in the country.

Edit: Yes, I know draft bills change before they are passed. But draft bills often are the best expression of the drafters' priorities and intent.

Also: why are Republicans proposing big new regulation that would apply to every US business, impose additional bookkeeping & accounting work for every business, and then not improve consumer privacy protection? This is a tax on every US business, and it appears there is no meaningful payoff for consumers. Sounds like a lose-lose.
And are governments doing as much as they can?

In Canada we have a government that constantly talks about climate change yet does nothing. Emissions keep going up. Rich that an article like this comes from the CBC...

When people can make middle class livings again without being shut out of a job for lack of a college degree.

My previous job I worked at required a Bachelors in business of any kind. I got it because I worked at the company and basically beat out external candidates even though I didn't have a degree. Know what it paid?

$15/hr.

This is why people are duped into college degrees.
Especially when you consider bacon.
This is a very interesting topic and it is worthy of discussion.

One thing to point out is that women tend not to couple down-status. Combined with the fact that more women are getting degrees than men further reduces the pool of available males. It isn't clear what impact this will have long term.

> The institution of monogamy is itself a “redistributive” type of policy: like capping the income of billionaires, it caps the total allowed romantic partners of the most attractive, so that unattractive people have much better chances to find a partner.

This seems like an odd take. Monogamy is not dating equity for ugly people, it is a social construct evolved to give children an advantage over the long run. One of the biggest barriers you could have to over come is to come from a single parent home. There is copious data on this topic.
Most of the savings seemed to come from freeing up enough headroom in each drive to prevent block collating slowdowns on write. This smells like a temporary workaround to me, as data tends to grow over time.

It probably saved them from having to buy more storage this quarter, but it is a one time savings.
In February if you had said "these vaccines will wane over time and won't prevent infection and transmission" it would have been labeled misinformation.
Zuck wants to know where your eyes are pointed, in what order, and for how long. Whether he is showing you "user content" (user generated for free) or "sponsored content" (customer generated for free), they will build an adaptive attention model for you. Then they will show you what is most distracting/engaging. You have no control over where your eyes look. It is a gold standard in advertising. That attention model is likely worth more than even an extremely high end VR/AR/MR/XR setup.

Guess what high resolution low latency binocular video requires, eye tracking for foveal rendering. You can do the calculations for 2x120Hzx(100deg)^2x(60pix/deg)^2 and multiple gaming GPUs can't keep up, transport HDMI/DP can't keep up, and display (MIPI/lpDP) can't keep up. Foveal rendering allows ~10x reduction in bandwidth, which makes it possible on mobile/wireless.

Not sure about pypi but any non-trivial node app has exponentially more package dependencies compared to a similar sized ruby or go app, due to a combination of the "micropackage" fad and the language is a bit of a fragmented mess with a not great standard library. You end up with a lot of polyfills, normalization, and helper functions that are wrapped as their own library.

That's my experience, anyways, having previously worked on a large rails application, as well as large golang applications, and now spending most of my time in a typescript project.
> If you don't want to encourage rent-seeking behavior, you need to ensure that the count of dollars increases at a rate equal to the value of the assets being created.

It's all textbook BS. Everybody is subject to this passion for accumulation vs. spending , hence government actions are baked into it as well.
It seems to be against the fiduciary duty of Meta the company to encourage a truly open environment where it would be easy to escape their advertising and other modes of generating revenue. As usual, the corporation says one thing while intending to essentially do the opposite.

> but it is understandably infuriating to see the company as a whole making tremendous profits while only paying slightly above average.

yes exactly, that's the superior argument here.

although the best argument is the one about climate change, and how viable solutions are not profitable enough to capitalism in the short term. we need open source, modular tech like the Science for the People article argues.

"The current political economy is based on a false idea of “immaterial scarcity.” It believes that an exaggerated set of intellectual property monopolies – for [trade secrets], copyrights, trademarks and patents – should restrain the sharing of scientific, social and economic innovations. Hence the system discourages human cooperation, excludes many people from benefiting from innovation and slows the collective learning of humanity. In an age of grave global challenges, the political economy keeps many practical alternatives sequestered behind private firewalls or unfunded if they cannot generate adequate profits."

I guess you could nitpick as to how many of them were from Rhodesia instead of South Africa proper. But South Africans have certainly made a cottage industry out of bush war memoirs, so it's hard to be too nitpicky.
Looking into this, it seems that the phrase "de-mathematize" was invented by the critics of the reforms and in fact doesn't really mean anything. What the proposed reforms would do is

1) Eliminate "tracking" which separates high achievers into advanced classes where they can't help the poorer students.
2) Add social context to math classes, such as how biased statistics led to Blacks being denied home loans while whites of similar income received them.

I'm not saying the reforms would be a good idea, especially 1), which would be terrible for kids good at math, but they aren't as silly as an attempt to "de-mathematize" the classes.
Something about a road being paved with good intentions feels appropriate here.
SSDs already do copy-on-write internally, so this doesn't change much. The files are slightly smaller so it may save a few writes here and there, but I wouldn't expect a drastic change one way or another.
Honestly the money would probably go towards diversity training and CRT, not towards the climate, so I don’t see any value in taxing the rich
Fair enough. In my interviews I tell candidates to code in the language they’re most familiar with. Hopefully someone has memorized a for loop in their go to language.
The design does not require a specific implementation strategy (monomorphization, boxing or other approaches are possible). It can change from Go implementation to Go implementation and from Go version to Go version.
So your point is that if you say really stupid things in public, people will stop wanting to associate with you?
Key paragraph below. My question is what the baseline infection rate is for unvaccinated people. If it's much higher than 3.3 per 1,000 then there's less of a case for getting a booster.

> Among individuals 60 years or older who were fully vaccinated last January, the number of confirmed breakthrough infections was 3.3 per 1,000 people during the three weeks of the study. Those who were vaccinated in February and March had lower infection rates of 2.2 per 1,000 and 1.7 per 1,000, respectively. The data revealed a similar pattern in those aged 40 to 59 and those aged 16 to 39.

Yep! The idea of Grafana OnCall is to help you to group, deduplicate, route & deliver to Slack/SMS/Phone alerts from any sources. It could be a CloudWatch, DataDog, self-hosted Alertmanager, or Grafana of course. The only requirement for the alert source is to be able to generate a webhook and send it to us.
Also If I'm not mistaken most of the properties (if not all) can be set through the command-line (for good and bad :)), e.g. `set Property=Value && msbuild` or `Property=Value msbuild` (on unix systems)
I think there's a fundamental misunderstanding as to what capitalism is. Capitalism is a system in which the capital decides what gets done, within limits.

If the market really thinks the company is better off split then that's what you as a company should do - the capital has spoken. If it's a bad idea then maybe next time the capital will take the opposite position.

Same with bankruptcies, they're usually healthy. If your bonds trade at 50c on the dollar with an inverted yield curve you should file for it. Or the opposite - companies enjoying super low cost of capital (prime example - Tesla), if the capital thinks the company is so great the management should be trying to sell more shares and lock in some of that capital that's chasing it, assuming it can deploy additional capital in any meaningful fashion. And (existing or potential) competition should take notice.

In short, the capital tells you what to do. Even the Fed is kind of subject to the market, every time they stay behind or ahead of the curve (like when the yield curve inversion happens) there are usually consequences down the line for such trespasses against the consensus.

I disagree. Billionaires nor anyone else should not pay any more taxes than they can get away with legally. That's just charity. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2010/oct/31/david-...

Instead, they should document how they did it, then flaunt it publicly with paid ads and name the politicians and regulations that make it possible. Just keep flaunting until angry people demand that loopholes are closed and laws are changed.
That's essentially what FARC was.
Not sure about UIUC, but $3600 in in-state tuition for Purdue in 1999; ~$10k including room/board/books. Out of state was $8k more.

Purdue froze the in-state tuition at $10k some years ago, but did so by reducing the number of in-state students that were admitted; they need far more out-of-state (and out-of-country) students to subsidize that each year.
Neat, I'll check it out.
