> Going out to spend time in a crowded noisy polluted modern city space full of judging eyes is unsettling

Tokyo really isn't that, though. Of big cities it's probably one of the most comfortable to live in. I live walking distance to Shinjuku station, which is the most transited train station in the world, and rarely does a car pass by my apartment. Other than the occasional ambulance there's basically no audible noise from indoors. Sure, you can walk towards the center and end up in the middle of a big crowd - or you can just not do that and spend most of your time in smaller neighborhoods. Convenience stores provide all basic necessities a minute or two's walk away, you have supermarkets within walking distance without having to delve into any dense crowds. You can take main streets to travel around the city and pass by a bunch of people, or you can step 20 meters into a side street and rarely cross paths with anyone. There's parks to relax in all over the city. And if you don't mind taking a few detours and avoiding rush hour, you can get anywhere in Tokyo via the train network (or even buses!) while getting to sit down the whole way, never ending up in an uncomfortably full car.

That said - yes, people don't talk to each other in Tokyo by default, and that takes a toll. I've had more random people talk to me on the street in my visits to Osaka than in 7 years living in Tokyo. To socialize here, you need to find groups with similar interests. It took me a while to figure out how this all worked, but for three or so years now I've been going to anime music and jazz jam sessions and related events, and I even play in a couple amateur bands (modulo COVID). If you don't put in the effort to find these kinds of groups, you can certainly end up quite lonely in Tokyo.
This is a tactic the soviets used. They would call someone mentally ill, and take them away to the mental word.

Interestingly enough, without casting any judgment on the claim. Canada put a doctor that claimed a rise in vaccine related still births in the mental hospital recently, and treated him with psychotic medication.

Ooh, I really like this. Do you have practical experience with this or do you like it in principle?
So, the fab isn't opened at all -- this is speculation. Intel has many fabs, texas instruments has many fabs, etc

There wont be an issue here.

IMO this reads more like a hit piece or something indicating that they want to back out of the Arizona deal or get more money. It's not really clear.
I observe it in my personal behavior. For example, if there's a dirty dish in the sink, I'll leave my dirty dish there too and not clean it. If there are no dishes there, I'll do my dish immediately.
Well, I don't think any sane country will try to invade somewhere where the citizens have recreational nukes.

>> “The reality for people from Taiwan is that they are doing even more than 12-hour days often".

>> “TSMC will have to change to an eight-hour work day five days a week.”

... well yes!
Thank you for your response. No, my comment was not on the entire Java ecosystem, only on the "enterprise" mindset. The Java ecosystem is rich, and I like it.

As a consultant I am constantly running into enterprise engineers who are "spring specialists" ... they don't think in terms of simplicity and the entire system. They want a little bit of workflow, and instead of using a messaging product (or simpler still, a shared filesystem) they want to use a workflow product which comes with its own fat manual and is all things to all people. I'm aghast that a simple app takes up gigabytes of RAM, and even more so that they are so blasé about it. </rant>

To answer my own question, I like the look of jooby a lot. I will go through your list of micro frameworks as well. Thanks again.
Agreed, so many times reviewers have saved me from myself as well as passed on solutions I didn't know, pointed out functions in our giant codebase I wasn't aware of, taught me new language concepts I wasn't familiar/comfortable with (ie, C++11->14->17->20) and generally helped limit our technical debt.

I'm a fan of code review

For me, code review is collaboration. We're helping each other.

The one thing I'd suggest is, as much as possible, try to phrase reviews like a question: "Do you mean to do X here?", "Would using fooTheFob here work?", "Is this a race condition?". At least it feels better to me.
> Once the car is jacked up onto jack stands, I feel pretty safe working on my car

Lots of people have been killed because they didn't use jack stands or didn't use them right.
I think you are right. I don’t agree with you being downvoted. Working on a fun side project is very different from working on a product you want to turn into a business. Programming is fun to me but running a business isn’t. That’s what I found out myself founding and running a successful business for 5+ years.

My first comment mentioned urban planning. I that involves more than just planning the transit, you have to plan the work places and residential places as well. The USA is too enamored with personal and corporate liberty to let the government plan anything that would actually be effective beyond “let’s just build freeways everywhere and expect everyone to drive.”
Very wise comment. Furthermore this autopilot has gradations, where one may consciously recognize that nobody gets out of this alive, but the changes made are of differing levels of determination depending on how intense the sense of the inevitable.
I must have an advanced self directed learning model. I cut off the local wifi and they just paired with the neighbors wifi.
I wonder how much of it is a zero sum game. Some amount of advertising would induce impulse purchase but surely some of it like marketing for a plumber just causes sales to be redirected to the one who spent the most on marketing rather than actually creating new sales.
12 hour days. Sounds pretty dystopian. Guess there's a reason Taiwan has the lowest birthrate in the world. Working themselves into oblivion.
Hadn't heard of Popehat's law before, but it reminds me of the moral to Kurt Vonnegut's novel Mother Night: "We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be."
Founding and running a business is very different from working on a fun side project. And if you don’t enjoy the non-programming side of that then obviously there is no motivation for you to finish the projects. I founded and was the CEO of a small successful software business for 5+ years. But I realised that I didn’t enjoy the non-programming side of it. So I went back to programming full time.
Another difference between books and code is that books are read and interpreted by humans (who are very tolerant of grammar bad, in the grand scheme of things) and code is read and interpreted by computers (who will swallow any ambiguity whole and just steam on with their interpretation.)

If books were read by machines rather than humans, and were published incrementally, then it would make sense to ask someone to edit each iteration.
> I don't see a good backup story, but maybe I just don't know it.

Where do data-management SaaS companies like Rubrik.com and Druva.com fit in? Are they not popular enough solution to secure min.io deployments?
Our tests have caught 10s of thousands of bugs. We couldn't move forward without them. Maybe they just fit our use case more than yours.

In our case we have a public API and several backends. The tests run against the public API. To know that a new backend is working it has to pass all the tests. Getting any new backend working correctly without the tests would be nearly impossible.
I'll give you that there are cities that can be worse for this particular part of the problem, but you can't package a product without polluting some. And Tokyo is a city with millions of people-products.
I don't know about that. I feel like oAuth and other forms of authentication are overly complex to implement. If they build a super simple implementation API then I could see it taking off.
Very interesting. Yeah labour is cheap in Taiwan. Even highly qualified, specialized labour. That's why talent leaves to China, USA and Israel.

But about the factory itself, American Factory was quite interesting[1]. Chinese company, but similar culture clash.

It is interesting however that from what I have seen Europeans that wouldn't lift a finger on a weekend would expect Taiwanese to have results on Monday morning, when they themselves only send information about their requests on Friday end of day. So in the middle of the Friday night for the Taiwanese.

I had to scroll through a whole lot to get to the part that mentions wirecutter - the only one they really mentioned was webcams, with anecdotes about how that particular webcam they recommend isn't very good. Not much talk about why the methodology is wrong.

However I do find the webcam recommendation article wirecutter did to be of worse quality than the others they had. Its a very room dependent item. Its certainly easy to look at that review having played with other webcams and say hey I think their methodology sucks.

But I recently bought a new toaster oven - I had already had a kitchenaid one that got fine reviews on most sites, but I found it to be really inconsistant. The wirecutter site had photos of the uneven toasting of the same model I had, in the exact same way that mine was. They also showed photos of their recommended toasters. I picked up their recommended one. It toasts exactly as they recommended. So its not a total loss.
> teachers asking for donations to buy school supplies.

Around here, the school district has razed the local schools and built fancy new buildings. Then they ask for donations to buy pencils, at what, 5 cents apiece?

Does something seem wrong with this picture?

Let's put it another way. $15,000 per student. 30 students per class. This is $450,000 per classroom per year.

No, lack of funding is not the problem.
Can someone expand on the practical consequences with leaking when things were created to the millisecond?
Sure, I'll bite.

You're deliberately constructing the least empathetic victim to allow yourself to pretend this is victimless. The people you'd be scamming would be people like you. People with hopes and dreams. People confused about what the future holds and who have a lot of anxiety about it. The bit about balancing out wealth inequality is totally ludicrous. You can't beat the casino from inside the house. And if you're embarking on your life of amoral grift, why would you care about social justice? It seems like you're trying to have it both ways, morality doesn't matter, just grift, and the grift is good actually.

It looks to me like you're rationalizing something you know is dumb, and that's why you're asking us to talk you out of it. I don't know why you're doing that, but maybe that is a better question to ask yourself? I've had similar moments in life where I didn't know how to proceed, and I was just so desperate to do _something_, change _something_, that I tried to talk myself into taking a path I knew was the wrong choice.

As a practical matter, you're probably too late to be a robber baron in the NFT craze. You're having this epiphany because you're starting to hear the music, but by the time you've heard it, it's already slowing down. You may as well say, Ask HN, why shouldn't I give Bernie Madoff money and collect that sweet 10%/year? People will continue to mint money from NFTs, maybe for months, maybe for years, but they'll be people like Beeple and a16z, people who got in early and have sufficient inertia to keep moving, even as the sails go slack.

It may be instructive that the people who got in with Madoff early - had to give the money back. When you play dumb games the result is almost always that you win dumb prizes.

Hey, I hope things work out for you. You don't have to make a big decision tonight. You don't have to make a decision this week. Chew on it. Seek alternatives. I think it's great you made this post. Keep looking for evidence that you're wrong. Confirmation bias is subtle and we all struggle with it.
"For reference, margins for banking, accounting, and legal services come in around 18–25%, healthcare 12-15%, and software 15–25%. Restaurants? 3–9%. Ya, like single digit."

"let’s reset our expectations and restore respectable margins. Let’s aim for 19%."

Let's just bump up our margins to industries where you have some mix of high barriers to entry, lots of regulation, and highly skilled white collar workforce. Right.
Yup, definitely. Code review discovers both issues stemming from cultural problems and silly bugs and understandability issues. Peer review in general is a very powerful tool for things that should be designed to satisfy customer needs.

Ah Marion Berry. The only corrupt politician in the history of America. No state politician ever did anything wrong. Yes, of course. If "never had a corrupt public official" is your bar for statehood, we'll have to dissolve the union.

Yeah, it does benefit the Democrats. I'm not particularly happy about that. But maybe the Republican party could try supporting policies that appeal to people who live in DC? When you have prominent Republicans declare that they want to cause a recession in DC it's not hard to figure out why people there don't support them.

The rest is, I guess a slippery slope argument? There's no other "undesirable" areas in the country that aren't already a part of a state. Some hypothetical state shell-game that you imagined is not a valid reason to continue depriving hundreds of thousands of US citizens of their rights.

Ports of entry are surprisingly important regulatory entities at the state level, and DC doesn't have any. Don't deflect from your ignorance.
Obviously tests are imperfect, but it's silly to dismiss them as useless. Standardized tests are the best tool we have to ensure our schools are providing all children quality educations regardless of economic or racial background or disabilities. Making education policy without measuring outcomes in a rigorous way is like doing science without running experiments. Children of priveleged families will always do fine. Their parents have the knowledge and bandwidth to take a proactive role in their children's educations, but we can't leave behind all the kids who aren't so lucky.
> why can't we just admit that we don't know what ancient civilizations were capable of, rather than assuming they were incapable of simple tasks?

A quirk of humans CS Lewis calls "Chronological Snobbery" - that what we know and generate now is obviously superior to what they knew and generated then - because if they were so smart like we were, they'd have invented the stuff we did.

It falls apart with the slightest interaction with actual history (even the known bits - Roman cement and aquaducts are obvious examples that stick out), but since we don't really teach history, and that which we do teach is a bit "religion of progress" biased ("From the caves, to the stars, through us, always onward and upward!" - again, doesn't match reality, but nobody seems to care).

The gizmos we have now are mostly a function of the energy resources we've cracked open in the past few hundred years, which were related to some quirks of a small island to the west of the European continent a few hundred years back, and so on back through time.

Human nature hasn't changed for much of recorded history, and neither has human intelligence. It's been used in different ways in different times, for different goals, but if anything, we've spent the past 30+ years finding ways to destroy the human ability to focus in pursuit of profits - look at any modern smartphone app. Great profit, for someone else, because it destroys your attention. Oral epics and such are just a different focus from what we currently value, which is mostly "How can I capture and process behavioral surplus to generate prediction products to sell advertisements?" (to paraphrase Zuboff).

Never underestimate what a bored machinist can accomplish in their spare time.
I don't click youtube links anymore. That product has really gone down hill.
Lot of troubling quotes, yikes. These workers need to push for a union from the onset.
Just realize that you're living your best life mate. Life is full of vanity but what's important is to enjoy the feeling. That's all there is to it.
And I've had this discussion before, as well.

Comparing the numbers to countries we would like to emulate implies that there is a maximum $1,500 overspend. Maybe. This is far from some magic windfall.

Part of the problem with comparing the US to the OECD is the fact that socialized support systems means that auxiliary things like breakfast, lunches, learning disability support, nurses, etc. come out of a different budgetary bucket.

This means that Norway, Sweden, etc., for example, actually spend more per student than is recorded because of the auxiliary expenses that are part of their socialized support system. And Norway and Austria already outspend the US (I wonder if they have something that's in the "education" bucket that we don't).

If, however, you would like to argue that this being a function of the school budget is a bad thing and that school lunches and medical support should be a fundamental part of universal healthcare for children, I'm all ears.
Yes, but that's conveniently ignoring all of the negative externalities produced by it.

So adding roads gets half the benefits (as it doesn't gain any efficiency benefits), and comes with a ton of externalities when compared to mass transit.

The really interesting things are the apparent areas for redaction in the original lawsuit [0] pdf. For example:

1. This action asserts derivative claims on behalf of SolarWinds against current and former members of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), for their utter failure to implement or oversee any reasonable monitoring system
concerning [redacted] cybersecurity risks fundamental to SolarWinds’ only line of business. [entire sentence redacted]

2. Paragraph 5 is redacted entirely, but paragraph 6 states "these warnings underscored the specific and heightened risk." Does that mean that paragraph 5 contained notes from previous warnings that were ignored? If so, that's very interesting.

3. Paragraph 7's last sentence on warnings is redacted, and paragraphs 8, 9, and 10 are redacted. Paragraph 11 starts by saying that oversight failures were at play. Perhaps people inside were both warned and ignored warnings prior to the attack taking place?

The rest of the complaint contains a very similar pattern: large swathes of redactions in and around failures to monitor the situation and failures to account for risk exposure.

Paragraph 79: "By utterly failing to implement or oversee any reasonable monitoring system concerning the Company’s cybersecurity risks, SolarWinds’ Board disabled itself from being informed of mission critical risks at the Company and breached its fiduciary duties to the Company and its shareholders."

Yikes.

Or by reducing/rescheduling travel demand by work-from-home, flexible hour hours, and/or devolution of Fed agency HQs to less crowded/costly US regions where their responsibilities better match the activities/needs. Say, moving Fisheries to where they fish, Bureau of Mines to where they mine, DoE to where either energy production or demand is greatest, etc. and keep a skeleton crew of critical Fed functions like White House, Congress, Supreme Court and the Pentagon in The DC area. Perhaps a movable feast with Agencies moving every 25 years to get a fuller outside-the-Beltway American perspective. Like, say, using IT to make that happen…

I have replaced fuel pumps. This involves a lot of work and often a specialty wrench. You will usually need to drop the fuel tank, which requires at a minimum raising the vehicle over 18" into air. The standard 14" jack/stands solution most motorists own is insufficient. They need to be replaced mostly because their integrated fuel filter gets clogged by the sediment accumulated at bottom of the tank, which causes the motor to fail. When the tank has plenty of fuel, the gunk at the bottom of the tank is less likely to be ingested by the system.
About the last line, I am surprised it is mentioned.

One would think that TSMC might have known about this small issue, before deciding to build a plant in the USA.
