I'm currently in the process of moving my home network from Ubiquiti to an open solution with a few Mikrotik RBM11Gs to serve as APs, and will probably also replace my Netgate SG-3100 with pfSense with likely a PC Engines machine. All will probably be running OpenWrt, though if that's too limiting / buggy, I'll just use plain Linux or OpenBSD on them.

The major benefit of this setup is that you don't depend on some manufacturer for updates. Given Ubiquiti's and Netgate's recently hostile actions towards users and open source, this provides a great peace of mind. The other benefit is that you're free to upgrade your hardware as needed, which particularly for WiFi cards is great to have. Right now I'm sticking with WiFi 5 because of the costs, but in the future upgrading to 6E would just be a matter of changing the cards (assuming they're supported by the OS).

Speaking of cards, I went with Compex WLE1216V5-20, which have an Atheros chip and are thus much better supported on Linux than Broadcom, etc.

High quality source? No. But if you're looking at famous European musicians before the 1800s, almost all of them were employees by sort of church or powerful aristocrat.
“Court” music is about being a display of power that doesn’t threaten your neighbor into thinking they need to start building an army. That’s why the music itself epitomizes precision and control. Classic soft power.

It’s conspicuous consumption. You keep musicians on staff to demonstrate that you are so rich and powerful that you can afford to blow it on something so frivolous that it doesn’t even feed anybody, it doesn’t stick around, and you’re either there to hear it or you’re not. See Haydn for the very best example of this model.

Sheet music then becomes the “advertising” so that people can be aware that it’s happening.

However, I think sheet music eventually became (and later, records/CDs) mostly a pure exchange of money for music.

I guess what I’m trying to say is something in between: the exchange itself can be pure on both sides (creation/consumption), but music is “of” society/culture and almost always serves many other purposes in the power structure of societies.

In its very purest form, buskers have almost always been very poor.
I’d also like to know this. In general, what performance gains would one expect to see from an IC custom made for a very specific algorithm versus a modern CPU?
> If I had moved to San Francisco or San Jose in 1980 to live in a nice single-family neighborhood setting, there is no way that anyone could have predicted just how many people would have moved to Silicon Valley in the next 40 years.

Well, thanks to restrictive zoning, they probably could have, in net if not in gross; there's a reason that while lots of money has moved into Silicon Valley, it (San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara counties combined) have seen less growth since 1980 than the East Bay, absolutely and relatively.
Three years ago I started a proof of concept electron app to design and print labels on thermal printers. That app has grown into mid-6-figures revenue from mostly “one-time license” sales. I do offer monthly subscription pricing with an expiring license and after a year my MRR has hit $3k. My competition is windows only and closed-source, largely backed by private equity.

I live in a small town in Minnesota so I don’t need to make much money to be comfortable, raising a family. I’m in my late 30s and have done mostly iOS and Node IIOT consulting the last 10 years. That’s what was paying the bills until my electron app started making “real” money.

On the technical side. I get emails every day saying how much a user loves my app. It’s really rewarding. Every year I get one angry email or App Store review saying that there are much better design/desktop-publishing apps out there. These reviews are usually written by technically savvy people that don’t quite get how stupid-complicated label printing can get. Like, don’t expect to design your company logo in my app. But surely, you can drag in your company logo and my app will dither your image for a 200 DPI zebra printer.

My app is basically a no-code image processing pipeline that effortlessly hooks up spreadsheet data, generates barcodes, resizes and fences text, dithers images, dynamically changes colors, and then talks directly to a thermal printer without using a driver.

And you can use it for free for 14 days to see if it works. It’s a single download. Yeah, it’s electron, yeah it uses some memory. But you can share the design files between Mac and windows and it doesn’t require internet for use.

I don’t know. I think it’s a pretty good solution.

Scaling itself costs nothing, but saves money because you're not paying for unused capacity.

The main application I run operates in 7 countries globally, but the US is the only one that has enough usage to require additional capacity during the workday. So out of 720 hours in a 30 day month, cloud scaling allows me to pay for additional capacity for only the (roughly) 160 hours that it's actually needed. It's a significant cost saver.

And because the scaling is based on actual metrics, it won't scale up on a holiday when nobody is using the application. More cost savings.
Subscriptions are coming I bet. The whole ui.com account thing where they force you to create an account and link new devices like the UDM Pro are the writing on the wall IMO. They back-peddled on adding it to the v2 firmware of Cloud Key's IIRC, but the end game is likely to get everyone paying per device per month.

The last time they had a pay per device per month service it started at $1/device/month and then they bumped it to $10/device/month. Somehow they thought the one time cost of a device should become an annual cost and that people would adopt it. Obviously that flopped.

Now think of the same scenario, but everyone's gotten complacent and are getting dependent on their devices that are linked back to ui.com. They might not blatantly flip the switch, but now that they have a hook for licensing checks they can start shifting development so new features are licensed for a monthly fee rather than getting them free forever when you buy a device.

IMO as soon as the all-in-one devices that perform management (ex: UDM Pro) while being linked to a ui.com account get enough adoption they'll shift to some kind of feature licensing or simply release new devices / revisions that require "cloud licensing" or something similar.

They're also very flippant when it comes to breaking devices in a way that prevents a connection to the controller. They think SSHing into broken devices to fix them is reasonable and it's not if you have to deal with many sites / devices.
Yes, we're represented by Bird and Bird in the UK, it's a pretty well respected firm.

Wright is unusually challenging even compared to the more typical litigation trolls, because he puts out a lot of forged documents that make it harder to establish a clear set of facts to kill a case in preliminary motions, which cost a lot of expert time to debunk, and carry a risk that a less technical judge/jury might be snowed by them in spite of expert debunking.

This problem doesn't usually exist because in the long run the forgeries will make him lose... but he's not playing for the long run, he's playing to just keep it going as long as he can.

Fortunately the community and industry has been able to step up and provide financial support, so far. But that doesn't replace the time and stress of dealing with it and only partially addresses the chilling effect.

I heard that he's also just recently sent threat letters for two more unrelated lawsuits (sent by a separate set of shell companies), one alleging that the Bitcoin developers are infringing his "database rights" through their use of the Bitcoin blockchain without his permission, and one alleging that their use of the word "Bitcoin" is "passing off" (how he's going to argue that without a trademark is mystifying to me) and he's been saying in public that he's planning a patent lawsuit too.
What Colleen has built is indeed quite simple to use.

You just add the JS snippet, SFU handles all the storage and just returns a URL.

And bonus points, it's directly uploaded to S3. From the documentation: "Simple File Upload uses direct uploads. In a direct upload, a file is uploaded to S3 from a user's browser, without first passing through your app."
I think you still need a good grasp of linear algebra and difference equations to identify state variables and correctly set up the “model” or “plant” matrix, this is specific to the system so it can’t be provided by the framework. If you can do this, the rest of the Kalman filter is straightforward and can easily be done in numpy etc.
no, it's absolutely not. it's an end-run strategy to subvert competitiveness in a market. practically every dominant company has engaged in these sorts of anti-competitive practices, but that doesn't make it right or defensible. that youtube also provides useful features has little to do with how it came to dominate. it's simply not a product-led outcome.
You just defined a news company.
IMO all this talk of "antitrust" with regards to big tech is a red herring. At best, it will just facilitate the synergy of government and corporate power, through a "do this or else" cudgel.

What we need is strong privacy legislation (ala GDPR) so that we can actually opt out of being data subjects, and mandated interoperability (through open protocols and published APIs) such that companies have to compete for each user's business rather than just abusing Metcalfe's law.

That legislators don't understand this feels like it's because they don't want to understand this. They see a growing power and their focus is on how they themselves can control that power, rather than how to prevent it for the benefit of all (ie preserve freedom).

"getting and applying professional feedback for one's interview skills has a better ROI in my opinion."

And I specifically addressed that: it's difficult to get any actionable interview feedback because companies tend not to supply much (if any) useful interview feedback probably due to legal concerns.

You look only at the problem from your perspective. There are other perspectives as well.

I'm not going to sugar coat it, public schooling is terrible in most dense large cities in America. Raising a kid in general is terrible in large cities. Without these perspectives it is bogus to claim "flawed data".

Solve schooling and create safe places for children to grow and play without the need to constant adult supervision before condemning suburbia.

I'm not saying that density is without merits but it is certainly not without flaws.

BTW, I would love to know more about why you feel suburbia destroys local businesses and how it exacerbate homelessness, unless your argument is that higher density is more houses and thus fewer homeless. If you do believe this, you need to do some more research on the causes of chronic homelessness.

Yes you can. I literally live in a small community of people who mostly work minimum wage service jobs and support themselves just fine, have disposable income even.

That's my whole point. If you live in an urban environment it is hard to see how someone could do it, I understand, but you need to understand just how much cheaper it is to live in a place where you're not competing with 100 people for a place to live. When your rent is 350 bucks a month you can 100% support yourself on 1000 bucks a month, paying for insurance out of pocket.

I'm not sure how your post is related at all? Is USA Today one of the small news organisations involved in these lawsuits? My understanding is that USA Today is a behemoth news organisation.
I disagree with not scheduling before holidays. If I like a candidate I'm not going to forget about that just because of a holiday.

The first person that makes a good impression almost always has an advantage IMO. The hiring manager will remember that person, and human psychology makes your memory of that interview better than it actually was. So for someone to unseat you they have to do significantly better. (And obviously the reverse goes if you are among the last to interview). I think recency bias would only into play if the first couple successful candidates reject their offers or something.

Most important is to get your resume in early though. After spending that first weekend with the mind-numbing task of sifting through hundreds of resumes, a hiring manager is only going to look at new ones if absolutely nothing works out from the first batch.

> tragedy of the commons that only the government can solve

Tragedy of commons are not always solvable by governments, in this case most certainly not as people in government have their incentives aligned with getting favorable publicity from media.

Government can be a more effective regulatory mechanism for say polluted air or river because cleaner air benefits everyone equally. Media is not the case. Media benefits to those who can control it and putting government in charge will give us another CNN and FOX News.

Yes these ideas are all certainly valid concepts about interviewing. But it would be nearly impossible to optimize for all of them.

Furthermore, some really are impossible. For example #2 is to schedule interviews in cohorts. I tried to follow this in my most recent job hunt and it is truly impossible. The problem is that some jobs I would go through a phone screen and hear back later that day or the next morning in order to schedule another interview. Some companies will wait a week to get back to you. Others are 3-4 days. As just one example, I interviewed with a large tech company and they were the first ones to actually offer me an initial interview. I went through 3 stages of interviews with them and had the 4th stage scheduled when I canceled because i had already received multiple job offers from other companies, which I had applied to several weeks after them.

In tech a lot of these are easier because you have a lot more power over the interview process if your job skill is one of the in-demand ones. In my interview process I really could bend most of the companies to meet my needs and to move faster than they planned for. But that is a fortunate position to be in. I am watching my sister go through job interviews right now for HR related jobs and the process is completely different. I was going through a 3-4 stage interview process in 1.5-2 weeks. My sister was waiting 2-3 weeks between individual interview stages. In my interviews I could tell people that I want to accept an offer in 2 weeks, so they need to speed up and they would do it for me. If my sister said that in her HR interviews, they would simply disqualify her.

So count your blessings if you are in tech. Sure, we get to complain about take-home interview projects and technical interviews. But we can get jobs within weeks (or even a week) that pay 2-4 times what other people are getting after months-long interview processes. So consider ourselves fortunate.

The fun thing about these types of outages are seeing all of the people that depend upon these services with no graceful fallback. My roomba app will not even launch because of the AWS outage. I understand that the app gets "updates" from the cloud. In this case "updates" is usually promotional crap, but whatevs. However, for this to prevent the app launching in a manner that I can control my local device is total BS. If you can't connect to the cloud, fail, move on and load the app so that local things are allowed to work.

I'm guessing other IoT things suffer from this same short sitedness as well.
