> But I don't know how to do home improvement things that kids might want to help out with either.

You can learn any of this stuff and make a project out of it to learn together. Plumbing has a hard limit for sure, but swapping a line under a sink or some fixture can follow this process:

- find what you want to do.

- Go online and watch two YouTube tutorials.

- Go to the store and buy the tools.

- Do the thing.

- Realize you need another tool. Go back to the store.

- Do the thing again and either:

A) success!

B) call a plumber, and talk to them while they are there to learn (some will tell you to piss off and they just want to work, others will walk through it with you if you show genuine interest)

There is a subset of tasks in all home repair that hit a sweet spot of doable work for a weekend warrior. In plumbing, shark bites are amazing for quick adjustments / swapping sections of pipe. In electrical, one can relatively easily swap electrical outlets with the right tools (contactless power tester [PUT THE BATTERIES IN]). It should not require a handyman to mount a TV. Don’t want to spend the time? Fine. But finding a stud and mounting the plate is simple and requires basic household tools (cement or bricks get a little more complicated). Get a stud finder, screw driver, impact driver (overkill, but nice to have), and mounting equipment (maybe a basic socket set) and you’re good to go.

There is also a hard limit, and people should be familiarized enough to recognize it and ready to throw up their hands and call it when that limit is hit. No shame in calling a pro, but there is some benefit of googling things before just putting in a $200 service call.

But everyone should know how to shut off the water, gas, and electricity to the house. Always check your local code for whether you can do more advanced work (electrical). Where I live, it’s legal to do one’s own electrical work and minor updates (swapping outlets) without a permit. But immediately call a professional if you feel uncomfortable. I only do electrical early in the morning, when I’m focused and have enough time to call an electrician before nightfall.
There are countries with mandatory voting already (Australia is a good example). It hasn't really changed very much about their elections though.
How much of that, especially in Europe, is simply a way to bypass the ever increasing burden of regulations around employment?
Fair. It's the western tradition of the last 100 years, though.
Sorry, I don't understand what you are trying to say. Of course the CPU knows about pages and the executable bit? But there is no executable bit on a page filled with x86 code running on an ARM CPU, because the ARM CPU cannot execute that. It can only execute the translated ARM code that sits somewhere else, essentially out of sight for the x86 program.

Isn’t bias simply a matter of perspective? Isn’t it simply relative to one’s own bias? A consequence of how one measures it?
I wasn't very clear when I said this. I wasn't talking about "natural intelligence". I was referring to the fact that GPT-3 tends to produce sentences that don't really make sense in the wider context of the passages that it writes. For example, let's say you input the following sentence:

Bob went to the store to get apples for his restaurant. He needed to cook food for an important dish. Bob came back home, and cut the apples using a ________

Most human readers would think of the word "knife". However, GPT-3 might fill in the blank with the word "machete" or "sword". While these words grammatically make sense, they don't make sense in the wider context of the sentence. Admittedly, my example is a bit contrived, but if you read through enough text, you can find this type of strange writing from GPT-3. That is what I meant by incoherent.

Also, by "explainability" I'm referring to the ability of engineers to understand why a model decided to choose a particular word or phrase versus another (in my apocryphal example, this would mean understanding why the model chose "sword" instead of "knife").
high salaries and booming stock market are the result of an increased standard of living due to technological advances. If you looked at the standard of living of a middle class person in 1975 it would be worse than someone making $15/hour today on average.

More and more people are not interested in spending 50+ hours a week in bullshit jobs to just be able to buy a Mercedes and join a golf club. A lot of us are perfectly happy driving Toyotas.
I agree with you, speaking from experience with family. But I also see the spillover from the coasts as threatening this. The "wealthy refugees from the west coast" has become a real thing.

Maybe it's all about [over]population and age distributions.
These stories always feel like they picked a few good anecdotes and interviews, but they wanted to present it as a national trend to make it sound like a bigger deal.

Indeed, the statistics they provide aren't as significant as the headline suggests:

> Hundreds of thousands of Americans are striking out on their own...

For reference, the United States has around 160 million employed people. 0.1% of them moving to freelancing might be significant, but is it really a new era? That was happening on the regular well before COVID.

1 in 1000 people striking out on their own doesn't really explain the "ongoing shake-up in the world of work" like they're trying to suggest.
How does this work for the USDC that's locked in various difi contracts?
It is unprofessional but not surprising.

Once you are rejected, the recruiter probably has moved onto the next project and forgot about you.
While a good premise, I don't believe it holds up. Healthcare is just one facet.

Far and above is the lack of paycheck which encompasses healthcare.

"If money was no object, what would you be doing?" The question isn't, "if you had your healthcare covered, what would you doing?"

The answer to the first question effectively never, "working for my current employer". For the 2nd question, it's still plausible.
Leaked Documents Show Apple’s Attempts to Silence Whistleblowers
Does Israel have a lot of startups because of free healthcare or simply because it benefits from a culture that encourages startups? They also have a higher average education level which probably helps to some extent.

No saying that healthcare is not a factor, I just doubt that the parent's explanation that free healthcare is holding back would-be entrepreneurs is well-founded.

Thanks! It's dog treat mix - our most popular product is a powdered mix that you combine with water and freeze for frozen treats.

I had pretty close to zero expertise. I was an enterprise software PM, so things like setting up Shopify and finding a contract designer were in my wheelhouse, but everything involved with actual, physical goods has been new to me. Manufacturing, shipping, inventory management, fulfillment - been figuring it out from scratch. Largely going well, but definitely some hiccups along the way!
no, winner-take-all markets being natural is one of those fibs economists have been incentivized to 'discover'. it's shrouded in numeracy to make us shrug and accept our poor lot in life. even with capital-intensive markets, if kept fair, can attract enough competition over the long term to keep monopolization in check. if you look close enough at any monopolized market, you'll find a bunch of underhanded distortions that drove it into that state (e.g., regulatory capture, bribery, collusion, etc.), rather than it evolving naturally due to intrinsic properties of the market/industry.

finance for instance has an underbelly of insider information being traded constantly, just as hollywood (and nyc real estate) is choked by cartel behavior (production and labor at least).
There's also DKIM.
I'm finding it interesting that all of the comments so far seem to have drawn very different conclusions about what the article was about. I think this article has many unique viewpoints that people aren't used to and think of the point that stuck out to them the most as "the point" of the article
Pretty soon government will move to finish taking away all public assistance if you don't take whatever job is offered. Previously worked as a hairdresser and now you don't want to be a $8/hr fry cook? No unemployment for you loser! Maybe they should stop encouraging businesses to fired people needlessly based over a target that has moved more than QAnon.
> Business model wise, Brave is same thing as Google just at a smaller scale

> if Brave "wins" […] Still ads everywhere, just Brave gets to pick them

No, Google’s business model is gathering humanity’s largest hoard of data and monetizing that through targeted advertizing. Brave doesn’t show any of their most traditional ads unless the user explicitly opts in, and then it doesn’t come with comparable tracking.
Thanks so much - I will do that soon!
Medicine is an entirely different problem. Salaries for doctors in the UK and Europe are much lower in part because the AMA limits the number of residencies and thereby the supply of new doctors in the U.S. That's de facto a monopoly.

If you're a top 1% pediatrician you don't get paid much more than a median pediatrician. That's because it's pretty hard (impossible?) to be a 10x pediatrician. On the other hand, you can make the argument that 10x neurosurgeons or heart surgeons exist.
I had the same (SmartMon) on a C64. I didn't know at the time that it was unusual.
If you're new to the BI space, this book should give you a pretty good high-level overview: https://www.holistics.io/books/setup-analytics/
Canada at least is an extremely risk averse place.

I can’t even get people up here to try new startups that Americans will download and try at the first suggestion.
I'm actually using Windows 10 Education, which also supports UWF. My university allows alumnis to keep their *.edu email so it was pretty easy in my case
I'm using that to group all the things that are communicated through the musicality of the voice in addition to the words themselves. Like if a person is happy, upset, or surprised, in a way you can pick up from the tone of their voice.

Here's a small example, about how the minor third interval between two notes which is perceived as "sad" in Western music, is also present in English speech that sounds "sad" to the listener: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/44642274_The_Minor_...
This is specious. I can take actions to mitigate food poisoning such as rinsing my vegetables prior to consumption. If a company claims that their leafy greens are already rinsed and safe to consume without further prep work when in fact they are not then presumably they can be held liable.

The risks surrounding vegetable packaging and distribution are well understood, readily quantifiable, and possible to mitigate.

Computer vision algorithms on the other hand are poorly understood black boxes with seemingly arbitrary failure modes. We do not (yet) appear to understand how to quantify or mitigate the associated risks. The consequences of failure are quite severe in comparison to food poisoning. Only a fool would trust their life to them.
You can FIRE with any salary range with thoughtful spending (save before you spend) and common-sense investing (buy-and-hold, cash generating assets). Though the recent stock market opens up many opportunities for FIRE, it is an age-old proven way to retire or do-your-own-thing rather living paycheck-to-paycheck
Any legitimate solution to even just population growth would see the 1% of the 1% have less wealth, and that’s the real reason why any solution will never work. That’s not even addressing culling economic growth and addressing things like wealth distribution and equality, which would be necessary for setting fair population growth constraints.

Humanity is damned simply because of, well humanity. We’re chimps at heart and don’t want to share.
Firefox sync and Chrome sync came out about the same time if I remember correctly. The first release was in Firefox 4.0, but Mozilla Weave (the addon that eventually developed into the first version of Firefox Sync) existed since 2007, before Chrome's first release.

I didn't mention "the government." There are other models for democratic governance of businesses, such as co-ops. Credit unions and REI are examples consumer-owned co-ops that have been very successful and provide great service. REI shows that it is possible to govern a business in the US on the principle of "one member, one vote" instead of "more money, more votes" and still make billions in revenue.
Close to none. Companies love to have employees.
No, I was just trying to disambiguate the terms. Sorry if it came off that way.
> Sorry, I don't understand what you are trying to say.

Rosetta implements x86 execution bit semantics.

It does this by invalidating translated pages when the system call to set the execution bit is set.

Which bit do you not understand?

How do you think for example the JVM works today on Rosetta?
I have mixed feelings about the implications for free speech, but in the last 10 years I’ve seen YT comments transition from toxic cesspool to “never was heard a discouraging word.” I started investing in Twitter a few months ago when observing how good they’ve become at selectively hiding tweets that would upset the thread.

Twitter is already taking steps to get less unpleasant. Having a thoughtful tech-oriented CEO work on their issues full time ought to go a long way toward accelerating their progress, if Microsoft is any example.
Maybe if more people voted for the party that typically funds healthcare, instead of the one that tends to defund healthcare, we would be further along on hospital capacity. There's only so much democrats can do when republicans insist on opposing everything sensible just because the hated opposition supports it.
I hope everyone considers themselves as working for themselves, regardless of the actual vehicle that attaches themselves to their current income stream (job or their own company or whatever...)

Even self-employed, you still have many bosses (customers, etc). In fact _those_ bosses can be harder to fire depending on contracting terms... And you might find it harder to churn out the sales to maintain a steady income stream.

Even company-employed, you still should frame things in working-for-yourself. What are you getting out of the relationship? Is the employer holding up its end for you?

The traditional, paternalistic concept of employment is outmoded. It says your career growth should be managed by your employer (don't let it...). It presumes the work you do and your job are always 100% the same (they're not). It assumes a kind of one-sided evaluation of the employee, where the employer has all the power (very untrue these days).
nonsense.

about:telemetry shows you all that is collected and none of it is PII, a unique fingerprint maybe...
Employee Assistance Program maybe?
Are you building on an HDD? I went from 3-4 hours to under two when I switched to an SSD.
No the AMD64 page executable bit system is implemented in software by Rosetta.
Same thing I did 20 years ago. IIRC it was the only way to get a flatscreen at the time. Mine was a NEC. 40" plasma. 1366x768. Not even full HD. I think it would work out to about $7000. It pissed me off that it didn't even come with a wall bracket and I had to shell out another $600 for that. For the price of just my wall bracket you can now buy a pretty nice 65" 4K screen I'm sure.
Yeah i think if you start digging in the middle of a busy junction, people will have some questions for you
Why would I not just use SQLite or postgres for learning SQL?
Great list. A good addition would be to tell them to have proper network segmentation (or zero trust), which is a million times easier when you build from scratch than when you try to implement retroactively.

The centralized logging is great. Startups may not want to log gigabytes of network, endpoint and other logs, but having a process to onboard and offboard logs from a central repo is critical (this includes cloud!). If you don't have staff to look at the logs and do stuff with it, it just eats up precious money. But if/when you do, lacking infra/process will cripple any defensive security approaches that rely in it. Lastly, if you have a 3rd party vendor that takes your logs and does stuff with it, it is not a replacement to centralized logging! I've seen companies make this mistake time and time again and regret it. Own your logs just like you would own a copy of your accounting books.
It's how it has to be.

This is why you don't need to give a 2 week notice, and you should always have your resume updated.

Need to take an offer knowing odds are a way better one is coming down the pipe, do it. They can lose budget and cut your role before you start.

Don't treat any job like a dream job, if you get there and nothing works, you have a nightmare.

My dream right now is to work hard until I'm 40 and retire. I can't imagine doing this for another 30 years .
Here in southern California, we have those 3, but we also have a 4th one which is very important: the "fuck you for honking" honk.

If someone else has made a mistake or is on the verge of making one, and you honk at them to warn them or others of the mistake, they will immediately honk back at you, holding the horn for at least a second longer than you held yours. This is because, to the typical SoCal driver, they never deserve to be honked at, and how-fucking-dare-you do it to them.
In Sweden, many software engineers work as contract engineers for better pay. Salaries for hired software engineers in Europe are dismal.
dont have kids then
I'm not going to dispute what you're saying, but I can't say I've had that much luck with any type of non-technical book. Many are boring. Many are dumb. My opinion is that it's more about having good content than putting the content in the right order.
Before the pandemic, I did a round of interviews on site with a bank. Not a very senior role, just a developer. Everything went well or so I thought and then radio silence.

Got a text months later from the recruiter who told me the whole group that I interviewed for was gone. So bizarre.

The point though is the recruiter reached out to me, which was nice.
many single entrepreneurs I know simply don't bother with health insurance and live with the risk
Hmm, couldn't you do the doping as the last processing step? Can you switch the laser with on-chip electronics, even if you can't pump it electrically? 1.9 um sounds like it would be just fine for communications.

(I haven't read the paper, just the PR fluff.)
> Do we see a greater percentage of entrepreneurs from Canada or Europe than from the US?

Different cultures. Different mindsets towards entrepreneurship and individuality.

It shouldn't pass the smell test as you're smelling three different things :)
OK, "Younger and left-leaning outrage tends to dominate on Twitter" ^ "Older and right-leaning outrage tends to dominate on Facebook" => Twitter has "done more good than harm (unlike Facebook)?" That's ageism of first order right there.
Which crime is easier to commit - physically swapping a street sign or placing a sticker on an existing one? How long does each act take? What equipment do you have to carry on you for each task?

In a given span of time, how many street signs can a single person swap out versus how many stickers can they apply?

When sourcing the materials for an attack, how expensive are stickers relative to physical signs?
Taxes don’t rise in CA due to Prop 13.
I hope that this isn't because more of the population is adopting a zero-sum view which increases the likelihood of war.
My wife recently quit her job. She loved her job, she was passionate about it, her coworkers were wonderful. Then her employer go acquired, they hired a new manager who is abusive and micro-managing. She's classified as a frontline worker, and even got her first vaccine back in Jan 2021.

Her reason for quitting wasn't just that her manager was bad, its that despite all the hard work the team put in, management just didn't care. They wouldn't even give ger a raise matching inflation, and they gave her a one time bonus of $640. Considering that she has to work close to 55 - 60 hrs per week, and sometimes even weekends.

So I'm not surprised that people are quitting terrible jobs where employees are used up, and spit out.
> As of today you can also find many of the top official Docker Hub images being mirrored to ECR Public, so you don't even need a pull through cache for those, you can pull from ECR Public directly

Is there any benefit to using pull-through caching with ECR Public images? Seems like it would just add extra storage costs.
I think another major reason holding people back is consistent cash flow. If you know you can lock in 6 months of work at a time and not worry about cash flow, that would give a lot of people a reason to jump quite easily.
As someone who had kids in their 40s: this is the correct observation.
But the issues that come up in such experiments, are never about audiophile variables. No one has ever said, this Monitor has too much distortion, or that I need to increase the the sampling rate to to 192kHz to fix the tops, or that it would sound better if I had used oxygen free silver wire, etc. etc. What comes up is practical concerns about loudspeakers on stage. Reduce the boominess of the low end, reduce the propensity to feedback on stage, etc. Same goes with working on guitar speakers.
Maybe. These particular ones were never properly decoupled.
Can you add Amazon/Ring/Blink camera specs? :)
Yes, that’s the iOS desktop and the one place it makes some vague sense (although I search just as often and recent versions have added features to help people who clearly don’t know where half their apps are).

What doesn’t make sense is persisting this spatial info _everywhere_ and launching obnoxious amounts of new windows every time you go back.
Maybe a hot take: if you have a Manager-of-Managers role, you aren’t a startup any more.
It sounds like you might appreciate Predicate Calculus and Program Semantics[1] which is a rigorous formal treatment of the subject. Dijkstra's earlier work, A Discipline of Programming[2] lacks mathematical rigor, but is still quite pragmatic and is arguably a much gentler introduction to the subject. It also focuses more on real-world use cases.

Like most of his work, the general theme is "how can we avoid making a mess of things unnecessarily?" Avoiding needless complexity is clearly the programmer's greatest challenge.

so what about people who just cannot afford it? homeless, addicts, single mothers raising kids, collage kids, kids kicked out of home because of religious/abortions/pregnancy/LGBTQ/ect? do they just not get healthcare?
Good point, let's all FIRE tomorrow and see what happens. That age-old "work to collectively add value to the economy" thing really gets old after awhile.
But it makes no sense to solve for one dense urban area when you could have people go elsewhere and create a different sense urban area.

And it doubly doesn’t make sense when it’s more costly.
The truth of the matter is we are compensated nowhere near the value we create. And so if you work for yourself, and actually do create something that others will pay for, you will usually far exceed your normal salary.
I inherited my grandmother's and I've picked up a couple at thrift stores over the years. Can only use one at once, but can't pass one up if it's inexpensive for whenever the one I'm using fails...
Well one of the people I interviewed for one of my manager openings said, when asked on the motivation to apply: “too many surprise layoffs in banks”. I guess he was right.
