My understanding is that cheap labor (China) is why there was nearly a complete stop of factory automation. Instead of increasing automation, low cost labor was utilized instead. Now that wages are rising around the globe, there should be increased innovation around automation. Explicitly that would be factory robots.

I had an employee that was an insufferable asshole. Breaking his NDA. Not doing good work. Late. Running a scam raffle “for” his sick kid. Etc. We fired him for the first reason we could that wouldn’t get us a lawsuit.

He runs around to this day bad-mouthing us because we fire people for the tiniest of infractions. It was a lot easier to prove he damaged company property than it was to fight a year for three lawsuit that involved patent and NDA laws.

Not saying that is what happened here, because I don’t know. Just a totally unrelated anecdote.

Off the top of my head: The web app working while offline, local storage, and background sync.

The idea is to be able to build web apps that have feature parity with native apps. (Especially on mobile, where apps are expected to integrate with the system and data connectivity is intermittent.)

If you don’t want that, that’s fine. But native apps are popular for a reason, and those features are a big part of that reason.
Unlikely, it’s a wide band gap semiconductor so has very different end applications that it’s suitable for and would never compete with silicon, unless you want a radiation/heat hardened device - the processing would be very costly though and getting good wafers is challenging

Were these actually related to the gold standard as such? Or were they just bubbles that occurred during that time. For instance the railway bubble seems to have nothing at all to do with being on the gold standard.
I don’t think it’s clear because economies of scale do exist. Honda can simply spend more on R&D than a company 1/10th it’s size. Large companies definitely have their own issues, but there isn’t some clear maximum size where companies universally become less efficient at say 1,000 employees. It’s more a question of management overhead and flexibility etc.

2) Just because tools make coding easier doesn't mean its not coding any more.

The 'find another job' aspect is one of the most common themes on that subreddit. It's full of people telling their manager they don't have to put up with any BS because they can find another job by tomorrow, and then doing that.

How come people risk death to run away from the utopia? They must be counter-revolutionaries better murder whatever family they left behind

Traffic is a cost, not an asset. It is the basis for monetization but without some type of business transaction coming from it, you have zero revenue, zero conversions, and negative value due to hosting costs.

Because of that, any value I'd pay for it would be low because all you are selling is the raw materials. I'd have to put in my own work for SEO, monetization, and building a profitable enterprise from it. It isn't zero value, but we're talking low 5 figures at best.

>I am actually afraid for small tech now. And that one day me using a PiHole might get criminalized. Or a rootless VPN used for blocking invasive traffic on an Android phone might become a reason for some lobbyists to pressure my ISP into stopping my internet access.

Big tech is unlikely to attack that way. It's far better for big tech to stop these things via new technology, rather than try a political process which will require expensive brib^W lobbying and is subject to backlash. Big tech have a far bigger advantage on the tech front than the political front.

PiHole could be trivially sidestepped by hardcoding the DNS server and then encrypting DNS in the name of security (Didn't some Androids have Google hardcoded?). Android/iOS could allow some apps to ignore VPNs (this already happened with some Apple software).
"hackers".. I'd like to see what sort of "hacking" was involved. Most likely the wifi password where the printer sits was shared with everyone and the dog, and now everyone is a hacker.
Pretty sure it's not a "drop in the bucket" (somewhere around 20% I read?). There's also a massive opportunity cost when you consider the profit to be made from an arms race in the middle east should the US treat all countries in the region equal when it comes to arms sales. Pretty sure that would net far more for your military industrial complex than the long standing preferential Israeli treatment. It would also obviously be disastrous for Israel, so that's some serious leverage. (Note: In case you think I'm promoting this idea, I actually believe ANY arms sales to the region, Israel included, has been a horrible policy).

The US and Israel are in bed together for better or worse. It's actually really embarrassing that Israel has allowed NSO Group to operate at this level, and influential US politicians could destroy NSO Group in a heartbeat if they actually wanted to.
Maybe she just edited it, but actually it's 30 DNS queries. 26 of them are to the 13 root nameservers.

> So it’ll make about 30 DNS queries. (I checked using tcpdump, it seems to make 2 queries to get A/AAAA records for each of the root nameservers so that’s already 26 queries. I’m not really sure why it does this because it should already have those IPs hardcoded, but it does.)

It took over a year for Ziply to repair the land line of my 90-year-old parents. 30+ hours on the phone with support, multiple visits by techs who were simply not interested in doing any work. I had a tech tell me, literally to my face, "this line is working fine" when the line was stone dead. Another told me that I had to buy all new phones because the ones my parents had were "out of date". (To humor him, I bought a $15 phone from a local electronics store, plugged it in and showed the tech that it wasn't working. He did nothing).

True. However the state can not provide this "regardless whether we have special programs for them or not". You migh not have intended to but

is a claim which has policy implications orthogonal to any discussion about the innateness of talent. It is in this component that i disagree with you.

> Security for the life of the network is included in my $1 transaction fee.

Most of the security is paid for by the block subsidy. That will change within a few decades though, as the block subsidy keeps halving every 4 years.

At that point, you'll be paying closer to $100 to transact on-chain with the same security that you enjoy today.

Oh no, you can absolutely rake this guy over the coals for being a racist asshole.

Here's the problem:

> He is Black and Asian, and was the first Black executive at Twitter to report directly to the CEO.

Does this mention that he is outspoken about diversity? Or that he was brought on to promote diversity in the company in any way more than his existence? Nope, it's just a hey this guy is black and that is notable.

So this seems really out place.

> Since they've clearly gone for the "diversity" angle here, I decided to read more[0] about Davis.

Why does him being black and casually mentioning it in his bio warrant you digging into his background? Would you have done the same if it said he was the first first generation college graduate? Obviously not.

So this guy absolutely deserves to be criticized because he is outspoken about diversity while being racist. The crucial point is that this criticism is that is has nothing to do with his own race. But you only even thought to look for that because they mentioned he's black. There are a million ways this guy could be a terrible executive worthy of criticism but you definitely had one particular way in mind when you went digging.
Thanks - that's very interesting!

Looks like you bought the cards yourself. That makes it unlikely that there was a chargeback on any card I think right unless you had a payment issue somewhere along the line?

Regardless, given the relatively large activity on the account I'm surprised the human or algo isn't able to figure this out.

Gift card + chargeback + international IP + small / quiet account = reasonable flag.

But you don't have chargeback or payment failure it doesn't sound like and account isn't that small - so super super interesting!

Implicit in all these diversity pushes is a fixed-sized pie mentality. In that world-view, the only way to increase diversity is to replace white[1] executives with non-white ones. I'm not keen on the long term prospects of a company that is making its senior leadership hiring decisions based on a fixed-sized pie mindset. Frankly, while I'm not a fan of the racial discrimination aspect either, the lack of a growth mindset is what really predicts failure.

[1] The status of South and East Asians isn't entirely clear to me here. In my time in big tech I never noticed a shortage of South Asian senior leaders, so I suppose maybe they're no longer considered diverse? As for East Asians, every single one I've personally worked with is a big fan of meritocracy. Perhaps that's because they believe they will do well under those rules.

Wait, isn't it obvious that cryptocurrencies like bitcoin are:

fully unchecked capitalism

Socialism is (at least in theory) about regulating the market in a way which puts social aspects in the foreground to maximize benefits for the society as a whole even if it's at the cost a a few.

This requires regulation.

Cryptocurrencies like bitcoin are all about avoiding regulation.

Also in cryptocurrencies in the end the wealthy have all the power, because they can use the wealth to dominate the mining and with this can control which changes are accepted by a blog-chain and which are not (this is a bit more obvious for PoS chains, but applies to PoW chains too).

Socialism is also about every natural person in society (theoretically) having the same power, which is in direct conflict with how modern crypto currencies work.

So IMHO crypto currencies are an aspect of hyper capitalism pretending to be something else.
On the other hand some of the most powerful and widely used programs are those that operate on byte arrays with schemas in-band (the web) or otherwise specified at runtime (SQL).

Imagine if you needed to write C structs in Nginx or Postgres corresponding to all the business objects and data types they’re going to touch. Worse, imagine you need to thread them through all the implementation!

Many business applications are written that way. I think there are opportunities on the table to stop doing it.
Seems like a more helpful message would be to hire computer security firms.

The linked article (and government push to do this) completely ignores the fact that this is done frequently now.

It's used to get the last few metres into the home, e.g. from the boundary to the inside of the house. You put a swept tee in at each end, after the stopcock. Water off, dig down adjacent to stopcock, cut pipe, shove a drinking water rated duct down the pipe through the small port on a swept tee. Shove some chlorine tablets in the pipe and couple up to the new swept tee. Repeat interception at other end outside or indoors, and then use standard fibre cable blowing through the inner microduct, and away you go.

There's a huge amount of disused water pipes in most developed nations which are frequently used, similarly using sub-ducting, and you can run cable through mains - but have to come out every time there's a valve, so practically it's usually cheaper to dig. Where it comes in handy is where there's areas you can't practically dig up, e.g. major roads with old pipes underneath.

The fact that creating a worker requires you to pass a module (file) name makes them extremely unergonomic to use.

This is clearly visible in the lack of any library ecosystem around them. We don't have any highly used threadpool or executor libraries using workers. Everyone seems to be manually setting up a worker and setting up the job scheduling logic from scratch.

All the boilerplate and restrictions really restrict its usage IMO.

I know you can pass a Blob URL but you can't write libraries this way since you risk running foul of the downstream consumer's browser CSP.

A naively operating shop will pay zero attention to whom the payment comes from as long as it has a reference ID and amount that matches a real order.

And such payments can also be entirely legitimate, e.g. when Joe is a kid who wants to buy a gaming console and Bob is their father who pays for it.

I was thinking of something like (upvotes+1) / (downvotes+1).
Adding 1 to denominator is necessary to avoid division by 0.
Adding it to numerator too balances it out and makes varying number of downvotes visible in spite of 0 upvotes.

Controversial posts would get a score near 1 instead of fluctuating.
You would also get a rough idea of intensity as more ratios become possible when the number of votes increases.

This isn’t it, you might not know or if you haven’t been in an environment like it.

Without a cloud you’re always running up against limits, out of power, out out cooling, out of rack space, out of hardware. You get new resources by adding to wish lists and seeing if the end of quarter budget will agree with your request which might be filled in a few months, maybe next year, often never.

You hoard hardware that ends up doing nothing most of the time so you have it when you do need it. Management spends a lot of time and energy managing the datacenter budget.

With cloud you get what you want without asking too much and management periodically spearheads savings efforts to show off, but ultimately usually spends a lot more than they would have otherwise with less friction.

A big part of cloud adoption, according to my theory, is getting executives out of the way of computing resource needs and freeing up their time to fill with something else like bothering employees for more status updates (which are easier and require less skill).
