It's a tough cookie either way. China is cheap because it doesn't have the same safety regulations (overtime, social security, healthcare insurance, occupational safety, and so on). It needs a more advanced economy (that has a better input-output value ratio, so its productivity needs to increase) for it to be able to factor in the cost of those "luxuries".

of course a big problem is that the created economic productivity is not distributed in an equitable way, it tends to be captured by the elites (let's say Jack Ma, but of course the political elite is even more powerful and rich in many aspects). automation tends to amplify this effect. (capital vs labor)

If some countries/regions decide to not do business with China then that will have a twofold effect. First China loses business, which means unemployment, internal tensions, and likely fallback to producing less valuable things, which means that there will be even less economic surplus to spend on those "luxuries". And second, that region now needs to find different trade partners, which is a disruption in trade, supply chains, which has a cost. (Which could be spent on a lot of other things, eg. education, infrastructure.)

Of course this is hard, because it's a coordination problem. Were the participants able to find a good solution magically then it'd be great, but usually their own short/medium term interests override the long term ones.

No metastability nightmare.

One way to do this is to have each component have an output clock, which raises when it's output is known stable. If an adder has no carries, that takes 1ns. If it has each possible carry, it takes 2ns. You have a second clock propagating backwards to know when the next stage is ready for it's next input.

You still have timing. It's just set to when a component is ready with output, or ready to receive input.

Everything goes faster and uses less power.

This overlooks the traditional and perhaps now unpopular reason to start a company: making money by selling something useful. No need to sell the company. By the way, Facebook buys, does not sell.

I was also on that contract and can verify this. Here’s an odd wrinkle: just prior to that contract, Patrick wanted to purchase bitcoin from me (this was back in 2013) remotely, with me sending him the bitcoin first and him paying when he had time. He also wanted the terms to be that if the USD price of bitcoin went down before he paid me, that he would pay the lower price(!) and he would choose the time of repayment. I declined to do anything other than an in-person cash transaction. Later, I heard he had previously purchased some from another friend and then ghosted him for many (>6?) months despite persistent requests for payment.
But that's how we got to the current situation with something like email: A bunch of people ran their own servers because they were tech saavy early adopters. Then, Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL, etc. started offering poor email service which most people adopted. Then Google came along and had an offer that was very impressive to consumers and everyone switched to gmail over the years. Sure, a competitor CAN exist, but it doesn't because Google's product was good enough and captured a large enough market share to become the default. We even have people trying to come up with them (see Hey!)

> Finally, add on top of this that candidates are being less respectful of company time as well. Candidates are ghosting and not responding like never before.

Managers started this trend so I don’t have a whole lot of sympathy for those who suddenly find themselves on the wrong end of it. Even kindergarteners understand you should treat others how you would like to be treated. All of these “busy” managers who don’t like being ghosted better have also ceased ghosting candidates before complaining about the practice.
I got my current job via Hired - basically just type up my profile and wait for someone to reach out.

It was a pretty smooth and quick process but that was about a year ago - I heard rumours they ran out of money and turned into a Linkedin clone since so YMMV (would be interested in peoples’ recent experiences in case I need to look again).

I do get quite a few messages from recruiters on Linkedin but I get a feeling they don’t read my profile closely before messaging. Some are clearly automated (catch these by including an emoji in my profile name).

You can still find lots of intriguing people and interesting stuff, you just have to look harder for it in the current landscape.

And to be honest, as a person in the 20s sometimes seeing what the “old web” actually was through survived sites and archives… I really wonder if you guys were actually that better than the Internet today, I think a lot of positive thinking about the past is just nostalgia. I saw people were always fighting for Internet clout since the beginning, and all kinds of bland stupidity and toxicity happened through IRC, forums, and blogs. (And yes, the web was always plastered by awful ads since its inception.)
Such things can be by degree, and bans can be caused by previous misbehaviour.

I agree with your analysis that inequality is a big problem facing the world. However, I also don't see wokeness as an unalloyed good.

I'm a pretty liberal guy, but I'm seeing a rash of articles talking about some real harm wokeness has been causing lately when taken to an extreme. For example:

- California pushing new math framework that recommends no Algebra before Grade 9 in the name of racial justice. This is bordering on Harrison Bergeron territory.

- UC schools eliminating SAT as admission criteria, which is used to disproportionally hurts Asian applicants.

- Elite colleges like Harvard making their admissions less meritocratic and trying to limit Asian and Jewish admissions in favour of White, Black and Hispanic admissions. This is reminiscent of adding extra-curriculars to discriminate against Jewish students in first half of 20th century.

- Cancel culture taking things too far.

Many services and products can be duplicated. I think the major concern is the network effect - it's the users that they are interested in.
I think there is already better keyboard designs but it's hard to compete with the one that everybody is already familiar with, fits easily on laptops and costs dirt cheap to buy and make because the volume is huge. Most people aren't going to spend $300+ on a keyboard that they have to learn how to use and businesses aren't going to want to spend the money and time training employees how to use it. The inertia of the standard keyboard is far too high.

Incorrect according to the CMA Reports' clause 3 and clause 63:

Clause 3:

Facebook completed the acquisition of GIPHY on 15 May 2020, but has been required to hold the businesses separate since 9 June 2020, when the CMA imposed an Initial Enforcement Order (which was amended by a Variation Order on 29 June 2021).

Clause 63:

As noted above, we have decided that the sale of GIPHY is the only effective remedy to the SLCs that we have found. While divestiture of the acquired business is not an uncommon outcome when the CMA finds an SLC, divestiture of the GIPHY business poses particular challenges arising as a consequence of the completion of the Merger, and Facebook’s related actions, namely the termination of GIPHY’s revenue function and team, the transfer of almost all GIPHY staff on to Facebook employment contracts and the transfer of GIPHY’s back office functions to Facebook. These actions took place prior to the CMA issuing its Initial Enforcement Order holding the Facebook and GIPHY businesses separate and mean that, in several respects, GIPHY is in a significantly weaker position than it was pre-Merger.

> I have not revealed my preference, one way or another

You have revealed your preference of evaluating morality as a choice.

I think morality is a basic assumption for pretty much all human interaction. If someone chooses to be immoral, then why would I want to interact at all with that person? If being fake and untruthful is a choice for that person, I don't see how any interaction made sense. Just the only sensible choice is to run away from that person and if you have business going on just try to close them as quickly as possible. Even online discussions like these would be totally pointless with a person who has selected to be immoral/fake.
There is a defunct project which did exactly that called BlueEyedOS.

Although the keyboard version of that was very elusive. almost 2000$ afaik, and I'm not sure I've ever seen any test or report of someone actually having one.
I have an embedded real-time control project that is currently written in Rust, but runs with RTIC (https://rtic.rs/), a framework which is conceptually similar (no dynamic allocation of tasks or resources) but also has some differences. RTIC is more of a framework for locks and critical sections in an interrupt based program than a full fledged RTOS. Looking through the docs, here's the main differences (for my purposes) I see:

1. In Hubris, all interrupt handlers dispatch to a software task. In RTIC, you can dispatch to a software task, but you can also run the code directly in the interrupt handler. RTIC is reliant on Cortex-M's NVIC for preemption, whereas Hubris can preempt in software (assuming it is implemented). This does increase the minimum effective interrupt latency in Hubris, and if not very carefully implemented, the jitter also.

2. Hubris compiles each task separately and then pastes the binaries together, presumably with a fancy linker script. RTIC can have everything in one source file and builds everything into one LTO'd blob. I see the Hubris method as mostly a downside (unless you want to integrate binary blobs, for example), but it might have been needed for:

3. Hubris supports Cortex-M memory protection regions. This is pretty neat and something that is mostly out of scope for RTIC (being built around primitives that allow shared memory, trying to map into the very limited number of MPU regions would be difficult at best). Of course, it's Rust, so in theory you wouldn't need the MPU protections, but if you have to run any sort of untrusted code this is definitely the winner.

Hubris does support shared memory via leases, but I'm not sure how it manages to map them into the very limited 8 Cortex-M MPU regions. I'm quite interested to look at the implementation when the source code is released.

Edit: I forgot to mention the biggest difference, which is that because tasks have separate stacks in Hubris, you can do blocking waits. RTIC may support async in the future but for now you must manually construct state machines.
> Why wouldn't this happen with web3 servers?

It can happen with them, and it does happen with Bitcoin to a degree. However, it's much better than full monopoly of Facebook and Youtube. By the way, there are still many alternative paid email providers which work fine for those who do not want to run their own server.

>Why doesn't HTTP count as decentralized?

To me it does. But we need more: we need decentralized services on top of it, like PeerTube.
Yeah, that's a good case to be aware of.

I do mention it in the book while discussing anchors (indicating alternatives have their own independent anchors) [0] and grouping [1].

I also discuss how `re.fullmatch` is useful, especially when constructing an alternation pattern from a list of terms. Easier to use fullmatch instead of manually adding a group and string anchors.

> They usually get some percentage of your starting salary

Why they get a percentage instead of a flat per-head fee? Its not in companies' best interest to agree to a percentage, and recruiters have no leverage to push it.

Remedies proposed by Facebook, such as a promise to keep the service open to rivals, were not sufficient to address the competition concerns, the regulator added.

They would break a promise - surely not?
I stand corrected. This was apparently not an approval process but rather seeking remediation after the completed acquisition. Not quite familiar with UK competition law.

In any case, it's very interesting to look at Meta's proposals (which were ultimately rejected) [1]

> but hyberscalers that need to fill whole datacenters with servers.

I strongly doubt this is aimed at Amazon, Google, or Microsoft (hyperscalers). They all already have their own highly customized hardware and firmware. If that is their target I wish them luck. There’s no margin and a ton of competition in that space and as long as they’ve been working on this that feels like a pretty poor gamble.

What I believe this is actually targeting is small enterprise and up. A company that has dozens to thousands of servers. They’re willing to pay a premium for an easier go to market.
This is correct. It happens at multiple levels. Oversimplified:

* An async add operation takes variable time based on the number of carries, whereas a sync one is set to the worst-case.

* The clock for an ALU is set for the worst-case even when doing something faster (e.g. an ADD rather than a NAND)

* If you have multiple logic stages handled in one clock cycle, the problem is compounded. The clock is set by the slowest stage for all components in the system.

* If your system is doing nothing, you're still clocking it. Clocks are adjusted, but not at a nanosecond-by-nanosecond level.

All-in-all async gives a nice power boost and a nice performance boost (not enough of a boost to displace an entrenched ecosystem, mind you, but a nice boost nonetheless).
Well, only with the technology of electricity as a prerequisite. Which was invented not far from Rome and recorded in Latin: https://play.google.com/books/reader?id=Ha9gAAAAcAAJ&pg=GBS.... ... in MDCCLXIX, or 1769 as we now represent it.

Neither the Roman nor Greek empires seem to have had many of the "practical tinkerer / gentleman scientist" social positions which were very important in the European age of discovery.
What I think distinguishes Squid Game over The Platform most was that Squid Game directly portrays (and thus critiques) the society outside the "game" whereas The Platform is a self-contained allegory.

(Spoilers galore)

In both participants sign up without initially knowing what they're signing up for and in both there are volunteers who join despite understanding the violence and death, thinking they can "win" (i.e. the returning participants in squid game and the bureaucrat in The Platform). But while in the latter the only reason anyone would subject themselves to the system is suggested to be extreme naivety, in the former we are shown the desperation and hopelessness the participants face outside the game that drives them to such an extreme decision simply for the promise of a chance at getting out of their situation.

Both systems are set up to disrupt solidarity and cooperation (where The Platform even goes so far as to claim the exact opposite). Both pieces of media demonstrate those systems succeeding but end with an act of self-sacrifice.

But Squid Game gives us a motivation for participating in such a suicidal system and the most horrifying aspect of it is that it is not some kind of sci-fi dystopia but what TV Tropes would call "20 seconds into the future": a setting that feels mildly detached from our present but you could easily imagine being set in the present day in a Western country not unlike your own. Yes, the squid game itself feels excessive and has sci-fi or at least fantastic undertones, but the world outside it feels unsettlingly familiar.

After just reading about those kinesis keyboards I'm still reconciling with the fact the my middle finger is supposed to curl to press c rather than my index finger.
Aren't keyboards with control, shift, escape, etc... where the thumbs should be objectively better in terms of ergonomics, though? At least if you're hitting those keys all the time, since the thumb's the strongest finger. I'm seriously considering getting a split keyboard after realising just how much I'm going to type in the following years and how much Emacs and/or Vim I'm using.

Something something Emacs pinky.

Not an expert in the law or in this case, but blocking large companies from acquiring other companies which operate in the same space in order to cement monopolies is a pretty fundamental part of what a competition regulator is there for, it's hardly "bad law" or some arbitrary campaign against facebook
