You're right correction is a euphemism to sound better than loss. It implies stocks will continue to go up in the medium/long term, which isn't always the case esp for tech stocks. Another recent euphemism is volatility. You didn't just lose 25k you just experienced some "volatility".

>Google is run by smart and levelheaded people, some of the best and most talented in the world.

I apologize in advance for this not being related to the article, which I can't access. And also for my comment being theoretical rather than experience based as I haven't worked there.

Google gets so many people applying, I'm sure, that they think they can and do hire only the best of the best.

However, it's an illusion, because in fact, the population they can select from is very small compared to all the people in the world who could do a given job. It's a truism that the best people don't come on the market, right?

Conversely, there are many, many things that someone who is the best of the best can do besides Google, even if they are looking for a new job.

But Google, understandably, expects people to jump through all sorts of hoops, because how else do they winnow down the field that is far too large for their openings?

So the people they actually hire have to be very bright, but necessarily have a peculiar sort of tunnel vision, which when taken to its extreme, may manifest as a neurotic inability to imagine a life without working there and an unreasonable faith that all the smartest people are there.

Because if they have a healthy perspective, by definition, they would see a billion other opportunities and not be one of the people who tries the very hardest to get a job at Google.

And over time, this has to affect the overall culture and management too.
You’ve got to include market corrections or some model of “down” as well as “up” in your data or your model will only be optimistic. Your model can’t see past what data it has.
Sounds like a frontend framework.
Yeah, that's me too. Hopefully I don't crash another multi-billion dollar public company in 8 years with it though... :)
It seems like I might have to make another amendment as I just came across something labelled Fira Mono that also seems to have the fixed r glyph. I’m throwing in the towel, there are too many things called Fira Mono and Fira Code and I can’t find any one sound canonical source; some seem to say there are a bunch of changes between the two, others seem to say it’s only a different line-height; did they perhaps start out more different but get mostly merged back? I give up. All I know is that places like bugzilla.mozilla.org and crates.io use bad versions of some Fira monospace font.

Fair enough.

So you are a fan boy?

I think Tesla made a big mistake calling the "Model 3" a Tesla. They should have had a different brand for that to set consumer expectations appropriately (like the "Yearn" or the "Strive")

Samsung browser is, of course, based on Chromium and it's full of additional privacy protections, support for ad blockers, a private browsing mode that's better than most other browsers (desktop or mobile) that I've tried. And you can have actual browser tabs if you want.

Firefox is my desktop browser and it was also my mobile browser until Mozilla dumbed it down to the point of being useless.
I want a better iOS, not just an Android experience. Those are not the same thing.

> an iOS user can get all the software that they want from the iOS AppStore,

> apple kills software

Which is exactly the problem. That Apple has monopoly power over iOS apps.

> This law means they have to deal with multiple different stores

And in the same way I can choose Android, you can choose to use to continue to use Apple App Store only. Do you think Apple should be the only smartphone manufacturers because you don't want to deal with multiple OSes? No, because you're not being forced to use all of them.
In my experience these movements are populated extensively by parents who won't put in the effort to learn "their" language pushing it on their children. (Speaking as a bitter Welsh guy)
Crypto has always been libertarian, which is a sub-branch of republican. It was never liberal or democratic leaning in the slightest. It's just a techno-fancy remix of the libertarian fixation on the gold standard.
A poet once said, “The whole universe is in a glass of wine.” We will probably never know in what sense he meant that, for poets do not write to be understood. But it is true that if we look at a glass of wine closely enough we see the entire universe. There are the things of physics: the twisting liquid which evaporates depending on the wind and weather, the reflections in the glass, and our imagination adds the atoms. The glass is a distillation of the earth’s rocks, and in its composition we see the secrets of the universe’s age, and the evolution of stars. What strange array of chemicals are in the wine? How did they come to be? There are the ferments, the enzymes, the substrates, and the products. There in wine is found the great generalization: all life is fermentation. Nobody can discover the chemistry of wine without discovering, as did Louis Pasteur, the cause of much disease. How vivid is the claret, pressing its existence into the consciousness that watches it! If our small minds, for some convenience, divide this glass of wine, this universe, into parts—physics, biology, geology, astronomy, psychology, and so on—remember that nature does not know it! So let us put it all back together, not forgetting ultimately what it is for. Let it give us one more final pleasure: drink it and forget it all!

I'm so glad Fly exists. Every other edge focused thing out there I'm aware of are "serverless" which these days basically means they charge per request.

That's fine for a lot of use cases, but the unit economics of the per request pricing model means it's really hard to operate a predictably sustainable (i.e. profitable) business without also charging our customers on a usage basis, or enforcing limits on usage, neither of which is ideal for maximizing engagement as incentives are no longer aligned.

Fly just gives us compute at the edge for a predictable price per unit of actual compute resources as opposed to requests, and gives us freedom to serve as much traffic as we can min-max onto those resources, like we could with traditional cloud compute.

This provides much better unit economics for many kinds of applications, at the cost of having to manage the scaling ourselves. But because the option exists, we can make this tradeoff on a case-by-case basis, which is so much better than if all we had was "serverless" stuff at the edge and had to choose between just low latency across the globe vs good unit economics.
Right on, I got excited as well when I saw the title, then I read the first paragraph (plus saw the F face of that prime minister and booh, dissapointment).

You got to give credit to these technocrats for being tone deaf: they dont just take the most stupid measures, they typically do so way late.

Fair, I'll shut up until I have more real world experience with Rust. One thing that I remember well that really annoy me were the extremely slow compile times (these was two years ago, maybe it's much better now) since I value fast feedback. I understand for some that compile time cost is worth it and doesn't bother them.
I remember thinking “isn’t it odd that there were several statisticians named Cox with important work?” It didn’t even occur to me that so many fundamentals, over literally decades from the 50s to the 00s, and even popular textbooks like his one on applied statistics, could ALL be from one mind. Amazing.

Of course no company can increase their net profit YoY sustainably, unless you mean increasing it at the rate of overall economic growth, because otherwise after a few decades the economy consists of only that company and its growth must then fall to the rate of overall economic growth.

So let's consider the more reasonable interpretation of "viable business models" as whether Uber or AirBnB can be sustainably profitable at a level that justifies their current market cap (and thus stock price.) Uber Cab is US$73B, AirBnB is US$100B, and justifying those at a P/E of 20 would require respectively US$3.5B and US$5.0B per year of profits, which are US$0.50 and US$0.75 per person per year, at the current population.

They're both effectively marketplaces making a living by skimming a commission off the earnings of actual service providers, who are providing respectively transportation and lodging. Such commissions are usually in the 0.5%-50% range depending on the market power of the marketplace and the kinds of risks involved. (Consulting agencies commonly suck off 50%, for example, in part because they don't get paid at all if the client is sufficiently unhappy.) Suppose they're 0.5%. Then to justify Uber's market cap, the annual transportation budget per person needs to be at least US$100, and the annual lodging budget per person needs to be at least US$150.

These seem like very plausible numbers to me, even a bit low. For example, right now Uber's commission is 20%, 40 times higher than the 0.5% I'm using above, and pre-covid the US hotel/motel industry was about US$220 billion for a country of only 330 million people, which is US$666 per person, a beastly number that is four times higher than the US$150 I computed above. So I think the market is pricing in a fairly large risk that Uber or AirBnB will just blow up and be worth $0 in a few years.

But I guess you see it very differently. What's your analysis? What am I missing?

I've pondered the same exact thing. I've had jobs where my superiors could see my immediate impact and it was still impossible to take a reduced salary to have a 3/4 day week-- "it wouldn't be fair to everyone else" or "we'd like to have you here every day" even after my disclosing that there weren't really 40 hours of productive tasks I could do each week after automating most of my day to day. I've tried both with companies offering lower salaries with positions I'm wildly overqualified for and roles where they seemed interested but couldn't match my prior salary-- neither has worked across multiple attempts. Negotiating 1-2 days/week remote was easier than less hours for less money.

From discussing with coworkers from former jobs, the people that I worked with who most want to return to office (& force their reports back, too) are those who focused on politics over productivity. Some people work better in office, some better remote. Why not actually evaluate on a case by case basis or worker's preference instead of only management's preference?
In addition, you can look into ITIL/ITSM Incident Management plans, they have well developed process structure to work from as a guideline.

I have also seen organizations recommend Kepner Tregoe method training for real time high pressure problem solving based off Nasa Mission Control systems.
Yep!

I'm not saying I totally agree with the original comment there, just confirming that they meant it.

If you own your clients, sometimes you can say "it's on you to retry" (deadlines and retries are effectively mandatory, and often automatic, at Google). Having user facing services hand out bad addresses / endpoints would be really bad.

However, even for things like databases, you really want to know who the leader / primary is (and it's not really okay to get a stale answer).

So I dunno, some things are just fine with it, and some aren't. It's better if it just works :). Besides, if the data isn't changing, the write rate isn't high!
Leviathan is the most frequently read book in the ivy league, and this is why the American establishment is a wretched hive of villiany and scum.
I think it’s going to be “I can…” versus “I am” or “I do”. Lots of people will _think_ “I’ll just up and move anywhere!” but very few actually will. And in my experience, having the freedom but electing not to exercise it is more depressing then not having the option. Sometimes the dream is better than the reality
So 1-3 people actually figure it out while everyone else gets in the way? There's no way hundreds of engineers, managers, network engineers etc. can get anything actually done as a group, right?
> Intentions aside, things go awry. There are bugs and hacks and there are kinks yet to be worked out.

That's what everyone in the space likes about the space. The permission to fail in a fantastically quick project lifecycle and rapidly iterate in any direction!

The entire premise of this article are people pretending to represent the space.

A lot of the space is very wary of projects with VC backing, they are wary of people that derive confidence from projects based on the logos and presence of VCs. The VCs are the only ones that need large groups of suckers for their liquidity ponzi scheme, everyone else just needs small groups :) and derive confidence in a stronger prisoner's dilemma from the lack of larger whale.

For the on call system that I ran until recently, there are about a dozen on call teams responsible for parts of the service. Each team has a primary and backup engineer, generally on a 7x24 shift that lasts a week. Most weeks it's not very busy.

Working with them during an incident is an on call comms lead, who handles outside-of-team comms (protecting the engineers), and an engineering lead (who is a consultant, advisor, and can approve certain actions).

For big incidents, an exec incident manager is involved. They primarily help with getting resources from other teams.
> Curious how Breach of Contract can fly, considering TPG never agreed to a contract with AA to begin with

AA presents an argument for the ToS binding TPG as a party.
It doesn't really explain how they reached the conclusion that that would help. Like, yes, it's a problem that they had a giant Consul cluster that was a SPOF, but you can run multiple smaller Consul clusters within a single AZ if you want.

Honestly it reads to me like an internal movement for a multi-AZ deployment successfully used this crisis as an opportunity.
"Last year, venture capitalists backed about 460 blockchain projects, spending nearly $12.75 billion".

Since when was cryptocurrencies 'ever' left or right leaning? So every single cryptocurrency is republican and right wing? Maybe Jack Dorsey is 'right wing' too and Donald Trump is a Democrat for hating Bitcoin then. It is libertarian or somewhat of an anarcho-capitalist creation; 'supposedly'.

If you are going to critique cryptocurrencies (especially Bitcoin), rather than creating an entirely fallacious blanket association of the whole industry towards the characteristics of 4chan users, critique it on its white-papers, cryptography, utility and its impact on the environment.

The author knows it is libertarian but wants to drive partisan outrage (and clickbait) with fallacious associations and focusing on how Republicans use it - most of them were banned / de-platformed from other payment platforms in the first place, which that can happen to anyone. So it is no surprise that they turn to cryptocurrencies for donations and fund-raising.
Could you expand more on why that is? I have tried to read it but found it dry and stopped. Are there themes in it that you feel have created problems, what are they?

Welcome to Sakura College. There are 3,000 enrolled students and you have the chance to be the owner of those anime NFT girls. You're able to get whitelisted by inviting 5 friends to our Discord and advancing level 5 in chat channel.

The world's first star-raising game NFT is officially launched
3000 girl NFTs will be admitted to Sakura College. From freshman to senior, your engagement and company in training could earn them more interesting attributes. After the launch of Girl GAMEFI, you will get a more immersive gaming experience by being a talent agent to sparkle their star careers.
The attributes of NFTs are determined by the users
Before the public release of NFT, Sakura College will organize several activities for girls to take, which include: Election of the Student Union, Group up Pop Girls, Valentine Masked Ball, etc. Champions could obtain precious titles, attributes, honors. Therefore, the rarity of NFTs is determined by the participation and selection of the audience. Meanwhile, the most popular ones will be the main characters of Girl EDU game launched this year later. Consequently, the most voted NFT characters represent significant values.

The world's first EDU GAMEFI will come out this year
EDU is the abbreviation of Education, a type of cultivation and romance game. "Princess Maker" is the milestone of the game category. GirlBASE will be the first EDU game with far-reaching effects in the GAMEFI world. Our game will be released later this year. Currently, our team is still working on thousands of original character drawings, as well as devising the storylines. Artworks will be sold periodically.
Easy access to get whitelisted
In the pre-promotion phase of the project, the standard to get in is very low. Presently, you're able to get whitelisted by inviting 5 friends to our Discord and advancing level 5 in the chat channel. Due to the low standard, there are only 100 spots available. Good Luck!
More coming, stay tuned. Keep following. The difficulty to get whitelisted and rewards will be leveled up over time.

You may be correct with respect to some pop culture version of libertarianism, but I'm a libertarian and none of that resonates with me.

First, I'm not a Republican, and libertarianism is not a "sub-branch" of that party. Second, crypto is basically a scam, there are stupid libertarians like there are stupid people in every political alignment (I'd like to be able to pretend they're not "real" libertarians or something) that have been tricked into thinking the decentralized aspect of crypto aligns with their ambitions. But I think there is a difference between the philosophy around the importance of individual freedoms, and how it manifests, including in alignment with mainstream political parties (neither of whom have individual freedoms as a key issue) or specific technologies, especially poorly understood, scammy ones
"asdf-devel" is just what this post is calling "releases newer than the ones implementations ship," which not only feels like an _incredibly_ slippery definition, but by definition, no, once an implementation starts shipping it it's no longer a -devel version.

I know of at least one distro that forcibly upgrades the ASDF that SBCL ships, though.
