As a self-described progressive, I mostly agree. I'm skeptical that any administration is equipped to handle widespread profiteering. It's beyond even regulatory capture. The megacorps just ignore the rules which bind everyone else. Then treat any fines and such as the cost of doing business.

Legal regulation, no, but in the sense of having groups of internal people approving the release of data, data cleanup processes, data input, etc etc etc... yes, it's 100% regulated. At least in the cybernetics sense.
Oh, so there's a large employment tax that's paid by the employer? I'm confused by your use of "withheld", which implies you might get it back at tax time. Also, if it's paid by the employer than I wouldn't call it being "withheld", I would just call it a tax paid by the employer. In the US anyway, there's a similar tax on employment that's paid by the employer but you never see it on your paycheck. You do have to pay it if you're self-employed though. Is that true in Singapore as well?
It depended on the climate and society. Pastoralists living on the steppes almost exclusively lived off animal meat and dairy products, while folks in areas with heavy grain production were much more likely to get the vast majority of their calories from staple grain crops.
And banning cryptocurrency could be done just as effectively. If exchanging US dollars for crypto was illegal. The value would drop overnight because most of the investors would not be interested in doing something illegal.
The majority of poor people have neither the time, space, know-how, or desire to make their own alcohol or weed.

But it's an awful lot easier for a dealer to sell weed to a hundred people than for them to sell bottles of alcohol to a hundred people.

It's even worse, because GM actively sabotaged, in some cases by buying and then dismantling, competitors ( in a larger sense), "streetcars" (trams/light rail). They literally forced cities to move to buses they provided, and service deteriorated and made cars necessary for everyone. And the governments just sat there and watched, and effects are still there today in the US.

You actually believe that the contemporary industrial order can be maintained without force? The current order of things is massively contigent on vast amounts of potential and actual force, both intra-nationally and internationally. The deployment of police against striking workers or anarchist activists, or the military against countries that threaten to disrupt the order ... these are as much a part of "the system" as the psychological manipulation of desire to maintain consumption.
I’m 29, have cofounder a startup, and I feel this way. The way I see it, product managers are the issue first. Every one wants to make a name for themselves. Second is that managerial leadership is so unacquainted with reality that they can’t see through the marketing, the short-circuited mental models and the simplifications anymore, and therefore can’t make reasonable decisions.

Have you tried using taskset or similar to force the production application onto fewer cores? Perhaps something about thread/ipc/locking overhead?
Many fine comments already. I think much of it boils down to the same thing that happens everywhere else. People forget the “spirit” (the point) of a thing, and focus solely on the “letter” of the thing. They lose sight of the why, the problem that’s actually being solved, etc. Software companies, especially VC backed, are caught up in growing revenue (or similar) toward an exit, which is essentially never the spirit/point of anything non-parasitic. Trello is a fine example; after the acquisition they were run by people completely incapable of recognizing bad ideas and “good but wrong ideas” because they were not at all aligned to the “spirit” of Trello. Happens with governments, entertainment, religions, products, pretty much anything where people who don’t understand and get on board with the “why” start mucking about.
>Is this rate of change supportable?

Yes, sort of. Perhaps if you are asking if it's effectively supportable, then my answer is no. There is way too much fragmentation/change as you correctly observed.

>Am I just too old?

Nope. Side note: some young people will try and pull this one on you, don't fall for it.
Ah, so:

Class B: $3 megabucks

I know a couple of guys who own roughly a dozen class B's and live off the fees from leasing them. One of my old companies (now defunct) still holds a Class C that isn't being used and doesn't have a proper owner.

Kids nowadays have no respect making single-page applications on their iPad. Seriously though, the old days of writing software from scratch are gone. This reliance on frameworks and the associated toolchain complexity is a big mistake. There is a reason C is still loved after 50 years and that is because it is simple. It's too bad we're going backwards.

Requiring compilation to WASM to then translate it back to C and compile it again might be a bit strange. Clang obviously already has the tools to do the WASM sanitizing, it might be really cool to have a way to directly enforce those rules outside of WASM.

“Utilizing data from approximately 7 million online job postings between February 2014 and February 2020, the researchers find that a 10 percent rise in average Amazon wages is associated with an increase of 2.3 percent in the average advertised wage at non-Amazon firms in the same labor market.”
100% agreed. Whenever a feature is moved or changed, you can almost certainly assume it's going to be broken as well.
Yeah, if an article has single sentences of bold text between tweets or images, it's a Bad Buzzfeed article. That's definitely a prime example of crappy journalism. There's so many reasons why it's not good but when you realize it's marketed to 14-26 year olds, it makes a bit more sense.
There have been a few discussions about offline-sync support for the postgREST clients but nothing concrete to announce yet

This seems to be missing some details. Are they comparing to only other large retailers, or non-Amazon employers across industries? Are they only comparing wage increases for minimum wage?

The reason I ask is that the increases could be diluted by including non-minimum wage jobs, or jobs in other industries. A .6-1% increase is way less than inflation. I suppose it's better than 0%, but still not a good thing. It seems many workers don't realize (or have no power to change) that they are being paid less if their pay doesn't rise as fast or faster than inflation.
On (1), One thing I've noticed happening a lot only these days is that PMs seem to want to add further improvements to something (to beef up their resume?) But that thing was already working great and the activity ends up making it worse.

> Experts are so ecstatic

I'm not sure that 'ecstatic' really represents the expert mood.

This is really all very irresponsible reporting. Like, sure, it _could_ be the case that Omicron really is substantially less dangerous than Delta (though there isn't really enough data to say that with any huge confidence right now), but perhaps wait until that is clear before declaring victory. If that turns out not to be the case, then reporting like this will do a lot of damage.
Someone close to me suffered from this as well. It was pretty hellish. Even when it's not life-threatening, it made it pretty much impossible to go anywhere without weed accessible to keep it from triggering on withdrawal. He finally quit altogether which cured it, but lost 50 pounds in a few months because the CHS symptoms kept persisting for that long after quitting.

We're pretty sure high-potency (legal) dabs were tied to his case, but regardless, it's very troubling to see people in the comments so dismissive on the science of CHS (and how much more common it has become in the past few years in particular).

This is pretty standard these days, right? The people who invest in SPACs aren't actually interested in owning the target company medium-term. But someone else is willing to put up the money, so that's fine.

SPACs are not currently primarily a vehicle for raising capital, they're an alternative method for companies to go public. They have different (generally lower) regulatory requirements than an IPO, and different (probably about the same) costs in fees to the company.

Amazon internalizes both the supply and demand of their behavioral data, rather than relying on external vendors. Apple transparency, GDPR, etc. are manhole covers coming from the sky on data vendors.
Me, my problem has always been eagerness to please, so I'd agree to "just do it" and skip the first part.

Don't, under any circumstances, do that.

If the client asks for a fixed price, then don't propose an implementation cost. Instead, propose a discovery cost. I can easily say how long I'll need to figure out what needs to be done and deliver a documented solution with an estimate of the work needed.

If they refuse this approach, then the only other option is "time and materials", i.e. I will send you a log each week of the hours I've worked and the product I've delivered, and you will pay me each week.

If they refuse discovery as well as time and materials, and insist on fixed price, then I walk away.
Yeah, it's pretty unfortunate but I've got mixed feelings as clearly the model is not terrible, and they're still funding investigative journalism.

Do you eat meat? There's a chance that in the future people will have stopped eating meat, for it to be replaced with lab grown meat or whatever, and the very thought of eating another animal will appear to those people as completely disgusting and unforgivable (especially mass farmed meat for the 1st world, ie not for survival).

Seems unfair to judge people of the past in such a way?

edit: I see this idea has already been discussed below _- I should have done a search for "meat" before commenting.
You can tell how minimal HN's exposure to small scale mom and pop retail is by the fact that it's considered an unmitigated good around here. For every hardware store being more flexible than robotic BigCo policies about working hours or teaching a teenager to drive a forklift there's a grocer systemically short changing its employees. It's very much a mixed bag.

I personally hate for secondary political reasons but people need to stop looking at retail through rose tinted glasses. It's always sucked on average. Now it just sucks homogeneously.

_If_ that happens, then there would be limited reason for further concern. However, right now, there's no reason to think that it has happened. There's some suggestion that Omicron might be less severe than Delta but the data really isn't there yet.
According to Peter Thiel the rate of change isn't really much different than before. What IS different is that the world of atoms(e.g. outside the internet) is getting more and more regulated so all innovation and change gets funneled into the Internet which still remains largely unregulated and I think he's correct on that one.
If you don't like them, it's time to look for a comparable competitor. If there aren't any then this is an object lesson on why there are pending anti-trust suits.
So the AI has already taken over its own research.
I blame "continuous integration" personally. I do a lot of consulting and this has been one of the bread and butter money makers that people ask us to implement for their teams. Devs love it, PM's love it, stakeholders love it. I am not so sure end users love it. Every time you log into the tool you have no confidence that its the same tool it was yesterday. I miss version releases personally.
What do you mean by wayland + non-scalar scaling? Fractional scaling will indeed not map to each pixel properly, but that has nothing to do with wayland.

As far as I know, only Windows try to align font rendering to the pixel grid, Macs decided on skipping the 1-2x range and providing higher density displays and only doing integer scaling — which you can easily do with Wayland as well.

I can’t find it right now but I read a paper that showed that the WASM security model is weaker than native compiled code in some cases. For example, due to compiler and OS hardening techniques, exploits of a libpng flaw weren’t exploitable unless run in WASM. You couldn’t escape the WASM sandbox but the a application itself could be compromised.

I’m sure that this approach is valid as a hardening measure but some of the enthusiasm in the post is perhaps worthy of temperance. This thunk through WASM can’t protect against runtime heap overflows and such.

> However, the transformation places two key restrictions on the target code: it can’t jump to unexpected parts of the rest of the program, and it can’t access memory outside of a specified region

Oof. The paper I recall specifically called these out as not enforceable. The libpng example in the paper directly had an external request have libpng corrupt and access other WASM memory than it owned (in this model it would be other in-process native memory I think or at least the other code placed within the same heap region unless each component gets its own which then means you need to have a fixed memory allocated upfront…).
> Don’t expect to hear an inkling about this forced transfer of wealth from Main Street to Wall Street from self-described progressives who are currently focusing on enriching Big Pharma.

Progressives, including progressive Democrats in Congress, were arguing from day one for a much larger massive transfer from the rich to everyone else to compensate for expected costs of the pandemic including anticipated control measures.

I think you are confusing the neoliberal centrist Democrats who aligned against that with the Republicans that with “progressives.” All while ignoring the actual progressives, who have been talking about this since before it happened, and continue to talk about it, and also Pharma profiteering, contrary to your description; e.g., https://twitter.com/SenSanders/status/1467622911989145618?t=...
Sorry to reply to an old thread but I am just finishing "Planet of Slums" and one of my main takeaways is that neoliberal reforms in third-world countries are absolutely not helping (and in fact hurting) the vast majority of people in urban environments. It is our policies that are putting them in this situation and now it's our responsibility to help them out of it.

Of course this is partially a domestic policy thing, but how we view foreign labor now is not working.

Lol, sorry, I didn't mean to say it's dumb, nor do I mean to use the "professional" title as some sort of badge. Simply that I work with tech every day, and yet I'm completely unaware of those things, that's why I'd guess it's a joke. Obviously it would be a bad guess.

I guess for a different comparison you could be a professional truck driver and still be completely unaware that we have cars that almost drive themselves with the right tech and conditions. It's just not something you normally come across in your line of work.

Maybe a part, at historical levels. Right now it seems to be driven moslty by monetary policy, supply issues (reduction in competition, increased demand), and labor supply issues (plays into minimum wage in so far that more employers are paying above it).

#1 is important since you can't generally opt out of the change but I think it is largely #3 which speaks to the rate of the change. Everyone has to justify their existence. Everyone has to justify their bonus. The C suite has to present something to the board each quarter. Making great money is not enough, we need infinitely more. Lots of times the revenues go up but so do the costs and the profit goes down. Then there is even more pressure to add more crap to get the profits back up.
Stealing IP addresses wouldn't make a good Hollywood blockbuster (unless it contained action sequences with big name stars), but it could be more lucrative than armed bank robbery.
As I mentioned in the article it really depends on the length of the exposure and how you use the sensor.

Yes in many places in Europe or North America, the outdoor air quality is most of the time good.

However -unfortunately- there are also many places where the outdoor air quality is very unhealthy most year round and then an annual exposure to 35 μg/m³ vs 5 μg/m³ makes a big difference.
