Bezos's money might not be cash, but it's still relatively liquid: he owns about 10% of Amazon's shares, and could liquidate a very small percentage of that to generate billions of dollars of cash on hand. And, as a matter of fact, that's precisely what he's being doing[1].

>The $27 billion would be taxed at the top federal rate of 37 per cent, plus a 3.8 per cent net investment tax. And because he earned the stock while living in California, before a recent tax-reducing move to Texas, he also faces state tax of 13.3 per cent. In total, as CNBC’s Robert Frank has calculated, the bill could top $15 billion. While the figure is enormous, it represents only 5 per cent of his estimated net worth of close to $300 billion.

>How do billionaires avoid income tax?

What an amazing non sequitur. To report he is paying $15 Billion in taxes on $27 Billion income then immediately claim this is avoiding income tax.
This is an excellent point that I hadn't thought to make.

I actively use both. VLC is "for videos" for me. More: for random one-off things. WinAmp (2.x) keeps a playlist loaded, across launches, and is music only. (Opening a one-off video in VLC would destroy the playlist/state.)
I have worked with several companies that have their infrastucture on AWS but consider BigQuery or Snowflake for the serverless model they provide. This brings RedShift much closer to those options. I envision Redshift Serverless becoming the default options for most enterprises, mainly because it stays in the AWS ecosystem and you don't have to work with a different vendor and create different cost governance processes.

I beleive the real advantage AWS has here is in cost. Snowflake has positioned itself as price competitive with Redshift but this is primarily due to Snowflake's ability to scale on-demand, whereas prior Redshift versions required you to size for peak usage (RA3 helped with this). In my experience Snowflake is an order of magnitude more expensive if you compare similiar workloads and do not account for idle time. We will need to see the performance of a "Redshift Processing Unit" to be sure of the advantage, but even so AWS will be able provide significant downward cost pressure through this offering.
I think the winning strat here is "run."
>Aren't the Zen3 instances still faster

I would guess price/performance matters more than peak performance for a lot of use cases. With prior Graviton releases, AWS has made it so they are better price/performance. Keep in mind that a vCPU on Graviton is a full core rather than SMT/Hyperthread (half a core).
I think IBM (softlayer), hetzner, and ovh would disagree. They may not have the breadth of services but they measure their scale in datacenters, not servers.
Don't their employees handle communication with the myriad accommodation owners and tourists that often don't speak the same language? Sure, often you can just do everything using the web interface, but sometimes you need to ask questions and Booking handled that quite quickly in the past.
You're 100% correct. I'll add to that the fact that GPL drivers can't be used as-is in non-GPL kernels. It's a one-way street leading to Linux.
It was an import to US regulation as well.
I mean you're essentially describing DoorDash + competitors and HelloFresh + competitors. But in the restaurant industry proper it's the same thing except your exit isn't to get bought by McDonalds but to secretly dominate the mid-high tier dining scene in a given area and collect all the profits. So they won't build a bunch of the same restaurants but will take on massive debt to buy everything in a trendy area. I didn't really expect that in 2018ish that there would be a pivot from these companies to a real-estate play so they don't even have to own the restaurants anymore but can force them to use the company payment system and suppliers but it makes total sense in a boring dystopia way.

As much of a fan of NNT as I am this was a wildly disappointing article. My inner optimist hopes that this was intentionally put together to be incoherent in order to provoke some other conversation which would be his real aim (but that's almost assuredly not it).
These are all monetized results. Brands send bikes to these places to review. It's an advertisement. If you want an organic result like a personal blog post from someone or a niche interest forum like you might have found on google search 15 years ago or so, it's just not really there. Everything you see has been paid for to be seen by you. Once you realize that, a lot of the web feel like this uncanny potemkin internet because that's all it really is these days.

The Goldielocks zone is not tiny by human standard. It's goes from about a third of earth orbit's radius, to 10x it's radius. However climate would be extremely different at 0.3x, 1x and 10x, which I assume is what you really meant.

The orbit of Earth is also extremely stable, barely changing, and with time the earth is getting farther from the Sun, not closer, as the Sun is slowing losing mass since it's burning fuel to produce heat and light. The speed at which we are getting further away is however ridiculously tiny: a few centimeters a year.

To give you a sense of perspective, earth is closest to the sun in January and furthest in July. It is ~5 million kilometers nearer in January, and that only amount to about 6 or 7% more solar energy received.

So, any deviation of earth orbit's over the past 100 years that would explain climate change would need to be massive. Not the kind of things we wouldn't notice, and also not the kind of things that would allow us to be talking about it today. If earth's orbit was changing that much, that would mean our solar system is not stable, probably making life impossible.
It covers the industrialization era and several hundred years prior. I think it's a good window to use to determine human impact.
OK, that makes sense. That exit was not huge, would be interesting to compare price they wanted from AWS vs market price they got. AWS may have missed out if they were willing to go with AWS for less than they got.

I'm not THAT blown away by AWS offerings, they feel like copies of a couple of players offerings and at least when I last looked not THAT polished up. That said, plenty of folks will use AWS because they are already there. But it does feel like space for other still here maybe.

I'm confused. You doubt implementing sustainable practices is difficult or that it doesn't affect the profitability of farmers? I assure you, both are true.

Those farmers survive b/c they are basically using unsustainable practices and transforming natural resources (soil fertility) into cash at the _expense_ of sustainability. There is basically no market for sustainable practices other than some small public relations gimmicks. People/companies are trying things, but the scale agriculture operates it makes the problem exceptionally challenging.

Thanks for pointing that out but I don't think it dramatically changes the broader point: if you're making $40-50k/year, someone making $100k is making a good deal more than you but their life isn't dramatically different — bigger house, nicer car, etc. but they still have to go work every day, don't have servants, etc. and they're still going to pay attention to the cost of things like daycare or college or fear the financial impact of a medical bill.

No question that it's better but it's going from average to “highest income person you know who isn't your doctor” rather than executive class income.

I agree with you here. There's a huge value in the amplification of messaging and Twitter's pretty much giving this away for free.

Media and institutions have the budget to pay here.
I would be surprised if Twitter doesn't already have some kind of behind-the-scenes payment arrangement for these "VIP" level users to protect their accounts and do whatever other special things.

If Twitter doesn't already do this, then it's dumb, quite frankly, from a business sense due to all the extra labor (in terms of engineers, support, etc) to provide services for these VIPs compared to normal users. Like you said, if these Twitter VIPs are having their cake and eating it too with monetizing Twitter for their own benefit, why wouldn't Twitter ask for a cut.

Twitter's already done what even other major social platform has done and become dependent on advertising revenue. If Twitter becomes all paid and charges even $1/mo, that would wipe out a huge amount of "normal" users that are accustomed to paying the price of free, and then that's going to impact the ad revenue because of lesser targeted normal people to advertise to.

I think the problem Twitter is going to face is how to balance all the plates they have in the air with realistic expectations.

It's the "classic" problem that these platforms want to solve to keep up with investor expectations. So far, there's mostly a bunch of 'little' approaches to this like selling some random digital trinkets or paying for some 'meh' extra features, but these things are like side-dishes that don't reap enough benefits to compensate for appetites of continuous profit expansion.

This is sort of like being torn different ways. From one angle, if Twitter "changing the formula too much" makes the platform worse and people leave, then they don't grow and face shareholder backlash. From another angle, if Twitter hits a wall on monetization and can't figure out how to boost their cap, then Twitter becomes an unattractive investment and will just kinda flatline growth. And finally, people could still just find a new thing to go to anyways and if Twitter does not and stays Twitter, people still might get bored and move over to TikTok or Reddit or whatever.

Basically, even Twitter shows it's still hard to balance reality with desire with mission.

Error! Your Xcode (13.0) is too outdated

I don't have the luxury of upgrading yet. This requirement seems overly fussy and opinionated.
I agree that climate change is an issue, but I've become so disappointed in the environmentalists response to it. They simply resort to zealotry over their one "true" solution without any practical considerations. For example, the one "true" solution that they consider as only acceptable is replacing all cars with full EVs. Which is foolish considering the urgency (2050 according to IPCC is a tipping point). They ignore that the battery technology simply isn't there yet or the infrastructure. Instead of their plans, consider this much more quickly achievable alternative:

- Government policy should require a regular hybrid as the base minimum in all new cars. It's 2021, there's no excuse now for a car to be pure ICE.

- New policy to favor PHEVs. The battery in one full EV can build four PHEVs. A 50 mile PHEV gets most of the benefits of CO2 reduction of a full EV. Also no new infrastructure is required, overnight level 1 charging is good enough. The suburbs will buy PHEVs (since they have a garage), the urban areas will buy hybrids (which will now be the minimum).

- All utility type vehicles (mail trucks, garbage trucks, delivery trucks), must be full EV. These vehicles are the perfect fit for the current battery technology (overnight centralized charging, frequent stops on short routes).

- Slowly raise the gas tax. Slowly is important otherwise there will be riots. But the impact on low income population should be minimal with the increasing supply of used hybrid and PHEVs.

The key feature of this plan is that it's a fast way to reduce CO2. Instead, look at what the infrastructure bill and the proposed BBB is doing. Billions on new charging stations, current version of BBB would reduce PHEV tax credit. Is this really the best way to get quick action on reducing CO2 from cars? Aren't those billions better spent getting hybrids and PHEVs (which have none of the charging or range issues of full EVs) to the public as quickly and widely as possible? Why is the goal suddenly to make all cars full EV, isn't the actual goal to reduce CO2 as fast as possible?

You have to read these kind of pieces from the frame of: the author does not think anyone should have $300 billion in net worth. Until Elon Musk is worth far less than this, the author is going to find ways to frame him as not paying sufficient tax. It's not about the income tax, or capital gains, or any of the details. It's about Elon having "money".

The article does not attempt a good-faith argument, and it's a mistake to engage with it on those terms.
I’m glad you’re using DailyBot :)

We have not looked at these integrations with video conferencing apps closely but having tools for better video meetings does sound useful - we’ll take a look.

In general automation: a feature that is coming next year is Integromat support, also, we recently launched a feature that allows you to turn any DailyBot Form in an online data table: you can store and query data from it using the chat assistant. Teams are using this to have time-off tracking, inventories, track their code releases, etc. These Forms support integrations with WebHooks.

And there is more to come next year around Chat-Ops, we’ll be sharing these updates with our users. Thanks!

> SAG-AFTRA forces productions to give speaking roles to union members and also restricts union eligibility

SAG does not force productions to do anything. The production can either use union or not use union. What they can't do is use cherry pick talent. Your best talent is going to be a SAG member. And since it's a union you either get all or none.

>The risk your average worker at a megacorp operates under every day is far more meaningful than the risk the CEO, or the idle investor class, takes in their roles, even if the worker's risk is relatively tiny in dollar terms.

Okay, and roofers and oil rig workers have far more fatal injuries than software devs, so then the person who works the riskiest job should get paid the most? Personally, I don't think it is a good idea to base an economy that way, but that is a whole another discussion.

>This isn't even an argument against the compensation itself, but an argument against a particular justification for why it's "right" that things are structured this way, or why it's necessary that they are, which argument is fairly common, but, IMO, laughably weak.

Wait, so if your not against the higher compensation, and you do acknowledge that capital takes at-least some risk, what is your real argument here?

Let's put aside that being the OWNER of a database object means that by default is granted all privileges to it, and that owners aren't (typically) filtered by Row Level Security.

Google "Django Postgres Tutorial" and the first link creates a superuser:

The second link does not, but then it goes on to `GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE` to that user:

The documentation has a handy guide on creating superusers through the web interface, and touts what a great feature it is!

To a security conscious DBA, this is insanity. Yes, you can lock down a Django app just like PostgREST in fact, and add some code to do SET ROLE and all that just like PostgREST, but no one does because the documentation on database setup in the Django does doesn't even mention superusers:
