Nobody builds Amazon or Google alone. VC-backed or publicly traded companies are putting some of the risk on others and giving them some of the rewards. Sure, what specific role you play and how much risk you take on is reflected in the level of reward when things go well. Let's not pretend Bezos pulled a retail behemoth and AWS out of his back pocket and delivered it to a waiting world. Even a corporation is a type of cooperative endeavor.

We need to not confuse "cooperative" as an adjective describing people working together with "cooperative" as an ownership model. Really, though, some cooperatively owned organizations are very successful. Yes, even in the US. REI is a customer cooperative. Hy-Vee food stores are a workers' cooperative. Many rural areas have telephone, electric, gas, or other cooperatives. My parents belong to an LP gas cooperative for example. They live along a road where their side is served by a commercial electric company and across the road is served by the local electric cooperative. These specific-purpose cooperatives work well.

You could, as a high earning tech person, build a fully cooperative neighborhood with other people who earn similar money. You could form an insurance pool for healthcare, unemployment, accidents, and such. Since you'd be choosing who's in your cohort, so you don't need to worry about substantial differences in earning power. Or you could do what many high-skilled people do - start a new company with a handful of equal partners, where your income and success are equalized across an entirely different organization of willing equals.
When I have traveled to India, I just wear jeans and t-shirt... and yeah, a backpack. :) Obviously, I am a non-native, but I have not experienced outrageous "foreigners-only" prices ever. This experience includes incredibly remote villages in South India as well as urban centre of Mumbai. That said, I understand that many people have difficult experiences with bartering when they travel in South Asia.
The TV show Upload [1] has a group of people dubbed the "Ludds" (i.e. Luddites) that refuse to be party to the turn that the technological revolution has taken and stick to traditional ways of doing things. I strongly believe if that were to happen in our world today, much of Silicon Valley would be "Ludds", while a mass of non-tech people would happily welcome our new technological overlords.

Just got AirPods 3 and pro to try out and I have not had it just fall out that way with either.

I have fumbled with the 3s while trying to remove them while walking. I think it’s the stem and how light they are.
The first revision Yubikey 5’s support resident keys, just not the credential management API, at least that is my understanding.

I had a Yubikey 5 with the first firmware revision and resident keys worked fine.
> CDNs are an architectural misfeature that only exist because Fly.io wasn't around 20 years ago. I'm being extreme, but I think that's fundamentally true. ;)

Spicy take :) Although building for a dynamic CDN (I'm thinking Varnish here) feels like building inside-out, I can't see a way to deliver pageviews as efficiently (in terms of CPU or Watts per view) without using a CDN and a lot of caching.

With Fly I guess you flip the architecture around and run code but cache a lot of partials that you assemble together. Nicer than working with ESI and its "cache it all but punch holes in the page and render those bits again" approach, but does the efficiency hold up?

My architectural misfeature would be ESI [1,2]. So useful and so painful to use. And that's before we get to varying support in different proxies and caches...

Your site looks really interesting. What would you say your largest challenge has been?
I used to wear my wired earbuds like this at times. They would still snag (though less frequently). The cord has to exit my shirt to get into my pants pocket and that’s where they would snag. That plus snagging on jacket zippers at the neck.

Plus the annoying telephonics that the wires cause was enough for me to finally buy wireless earbuds. Yes, I can try to route the wire under my shirt. Yes, I can try to wrap the wires around my ears to cut down on the telephonics. But all that is more hassle than dealing with Bluetooth.
What is the difference between downloading a wordpress plugin and running it in your server and downloading a jar from maven/a js package from npm and running it?

It's not about miners but about the users/investors. If US investors - which make up a huge fraction of money bet on Bitcoin - are excluded, the value goes way down and makes it less attractive also to non-US investors; another major use case is remittances but if people remitting money from USA to their relatives in third world can't legitimately buy Bitcoin from their creditcard or bank account, then that makes it less useful as a money transfer vehicle.
the planet is fine, humans and our way of life maybe not...

but imo shutting down cryptocurrencies will do absolutely nothing to change our course.

maybe global, borderless, coordination and communication tools could be very useful though...
I would certainly rather they erred on the side of privacy. If the data cannot be released without compromising privacy, I would rather it not be released at all.
> Russia and China don't have the issues like in the US where every single individual believes they are entitled to some special rights and privileges because of entitlement.

Not being entitled to rights as an individual is generally the complaint against the political systems of China and Russia.
Something something color of your bits. And even if you somehow managed to convince someone that a digital asset was speech you still have to contend that commercial speech isn't as protected.
I would love to see open source developers make a lot of money; I think it's a great future for everyone. But I don't think there is any dichotomy in this case. If the service declares its price in percentages or dollars (as SaaS does), it's terrible to charge 15 times more.

Mistakes happen, but in this case, it's a conscious decision by the plugin author; I think stealing is the right word, especially when it turns out you've done it with thousands of apps
I'm one such person. I've had multiple sleep studies performed over my adult life and none of them found anything substantial / actionable, yet I would wake every morning feeling like I hadn't slept at all, like I hadn't recovered.

Blackout curtains and a comfortable sleep mask.

A comfortable pillow.

Cleaning up my diet.

My phone goes on "wellbeing mode" at 9pm every night.

I get into bed consistently between 9 and 10pm and I read for 60-90 minutes every night before falling asleep.

I follow a consistent, no excuses, strength and conditioning training program.

Happy to expand on any of this.

I would add that I am in my early 40s and that we have 3 children in the house that are under 3 years old. There are complications here, but, despite that, all of the above remains in place, and I actually feel rested today and like I am recovering when I sleep.
Exactly: we need regulation and competition — there’s a 0% chance they won’t do that with any other currency.
Wired headphones took forever to put on though. You’d have to untangle them when taking them out your pocket. And when commuting I’d tuck the wire down my shirt so it didn’t flap everywhere and get caught on things, but that meant taking your phone out your pocket pulled on it.

I misplaced my AirPods for a bit a while ago and switched to wired headphones and couldn’t believe I had put up with it for years before I got AirPods.
> You don't think there's a first amendment argument for mining bitcoin?

No, in the same way there isn’t for money laundering or wire fraud.
There's an image that is making mobile reading quite difficult
Yup i've tried that but sadly the curl command that works on my machine fails with `curl: (35) error:0A000126:SSL routines::unexpected eof while reading` on fly.io

Locally I run with docker run -p 8888:8888, so I assume the correct thing to do when deploying on fly is to build the image with EXPOSE 8888 in the docker file, and set the service internal_port = 8888 in fly.toml. Have I assumed this correctly?
We would still need code because the "specification" and "code" have become synonymous by virtue of the specification becoming executable. It isn't possible to need the specification, but not need the code, when they are the same thing.

The problem is that producing a complete and correct specification is almost of the same difficulty as producing complete and correct code. And the almost part disappears when we require the specification to be executable.

Writers of non-executable specifications rely on being rescued by the code: that someone will "read between the lines" here and there when they produce the code.

There is also a very good reason for needing two specifications: the specification proper and some code written to the specification (even if the specification is executable). Because producing specifications is difficult, the redundancy helps: whenever your specification and code have a discrepancy, that could be a defect.

If specifications are executable, the implementations are severely constrained; they have to do exactly what the specification does. If the executable specification for a programming language is an interpreter for that language, then a compiled version of the language doesn't conform to the spec. It's a different spec.
How anyone can defend this type of behaviour is beyond me.

It is theft, the hidden cost in the licence agreement* states 2%, taking that up to %30 for no reason and with no warning based on some arbitrary 'black list' is theft.

The point is that there is no meaningful gain in privacy, and it comes at the cost of crippling important research.
There is lots of precedent for winding down wartime laws. Libertarians think governments want to be authoritarian for the sake of being authoritarian, but that is not how democracy works.
So would you say RapidAPI would be better off as a discovery service as opposed to a provider?
A motorcyclist can (realistically) only risk themselves with their choice to ride on the highway.

The vaccines are not 100% effective and not everyone can safely take the vaccine. The unvaccinated put others at risk, not just themselves. I think it's perfectly fair to scorn those who _can_ be vaccinated but choose not to out of ignorance or religious/political ideology.

Thank you to share so directly! Can you share some specific experiences?
I am only interested in serious results from quantitative medical biology researchers related specifically to viral infection, not secondary causes.

Also quotes from the newspaper article already point out some of the effects predate covid and thus couldn't have been caused by it.
Depends on the population density where you live, how popular Netflix is and the bandwidth of the lines. In many dense places where internet bandwidth is not super high, connections get bandwidth limited at high usage times, making Netflix downgrade the quality automatically to prevent buffering.

You can experience this yourself if you visit a South American mid-size city and view Netflix in the nighttime.
This is answered in the last sentence of the post:

>During the incidents, operational degradation would build up first with network timeouts, then individual servers going offline and then their key routers dropping off the internet, Ali said. "This indicates to me that this is the result of some form of network stress rather than something like a power cut."
Two interesting notes that I found here:

1) This also utilizes a VM for the Android system, like the Linux one.

2) "Unlike traditional mobile form factors, Android apps running on Windows 11 can be freely resized, should be responsive in their resizing, and can be snapped using Windows actions/gestures."
Pulsar-Based Navigation
The ability to route around failures is predicated on having a sufficiently high degree of interconnectedness. Even your home network won't magic up a new connection if someone decides to cut your cable line. NK's network is poorly connected to the rest of the Internet, and so there is limited ability to "route around failure".
The US military could probably use a few dozen Andruils to modernize it and make it truly effective at its core mission.

It does seem like a failing of Silicon Valley that it doesn't produce more military tech startups. Palmer Luckey had to get megarich first before it was possible to get Anduril funded. Same thing Elon Musk had to do to create SpaceX.

There's obviously a VC funding gap, and clearly "the VR guy" and the "the PayPal guy" can do a lot more than most people believed. And so can a lot of other people who understand modern software and hardware.
From experiment to launch: how data shaped a new comments experience
I think I remember hearing that they originally wanted to call it LSW instead, but couldn't put "Linux" first because it's trademarked.
There are pros to wireless headphones and the right choice for many people, but the choice has been made for all people who do not experience that. I personally use Bose over ear heaphones that have an optional cable you can attach and connect and it has come up an incredible number of times. There is so much pain if you switch for more than two devices, forget to charge, at unsure something is paired, etc that all goes away with having a cable option for when it is more convenient.

And even that is not true in all cases. I still regularly encounter devices that only support 2048 bit RSA and nothing beyond that. /glances in ubiquis direction.

It didn't stop me from getting Omicron less than 45 days after it was discovered. On the other hand, for me the effects of Omicron were less unpleasant than the Moderna vaccine even if they lasted a little longer.

I was working at home at the time. My wife had it before me, our guess is that she got it from a rider at our horse barn (a socially distant activity.)

My employer has some of the strictest measures against COVID-19 such as vaccine mandates, sending us home in the first phase of the pandemic, required masks, lots of testing, etc. The surrounding community was one of the most successful in containing COVID-19 in the US but on campus we had a even lower test positivity rate than the surrounding community (especially for faculty and staff) up until Omicron. Then this happened

A stockpile of food and meds is a good idea. Unless you plan on hunting the gun is more useful as a suicide method than anything else.
Afaik, the MIT licence grants you the freedom to do whatever you want with this code.

This code is written to share revenue with the author after a threshold, but that's merely the application/code working as intended.

You're free to fork the code, remove this sharing and republish the dependency under another name for example, that's the only thing that MIT is about

Cangjie is at least still used a little bit.

Almost certainly yes. Has anyone not seen the uptick?
| Modules also bind data and functions together.
Yep, but a module is still not a Class. My example was referring to you mixing concepts of Classes and Polymorphism and dynamic dispatch in your original reply.

As you said, there are a lot of object systems that are different, and the difference matters. Having inheritance or not matters. I was just making examples to show that things are different.

We all know that C++ concepts != go/typescript interfaces != Java/c# interfaces != Haskell type classes (c# concepts) != rust/scala traits.

Try to explain that using "CS literature", maybe a lot of language designs don't have a word yet made for that. Yep there are Subtyping, Bounded quantification, Ad hoc polymorphism, Row polymorphism, but still not enough to tell all of them from each other.

But to anyone in the community, people all know that they are all not Classes and what make them special is important. It is quite clear, but why don't you get that?

The concepts CS literature are quite trivial and people can spend a few weekends to learn, or maybe another few for type rule syntax or a few others for basic category theory to understand them in a more intuitive way. But the real problem of making a good language for some applications is still there and much more complex and difficult. And maybe current literature are not enough for that.

The elites will never dictate the words, the people will pick up whatever they want to express their knowledge anyway, as we know of what happened in history.
My experience in S. Korea is different, if you are a resident of a certain province (I don't know what is that in Korean) you get a discount on the local tourist spots even if you are a foreigner or a S. Korean. So if you're S. Korean and live in a different province you pay a higher price.
I actually really hate it. Palantir does all sorts of stuff I disagree with; this is the first time I've heard of a company named Anduril though.

I want to enjoy my LotR as an escapist fantasy without being reminded of the American military industrial complex please.

> Why? Because citizens want an expert-staffed and functional regulatory body, but aren't willing to pay the tax necessary to fund it, at parity with private sector salaries.

The FDA (and the CDC and others) and pharma sectors trade people all the time. There is a revolving door between the two. Medicine isn't the only place this happens. It happens in telecomm, military, manufacturing, and so on.

We have experts at all levels. Those same experts may or may not have patriotic tendencies. They are placed for their knowledge of their respective industries. They may also have a financial ax to grind.

Is there a conflict of interest? Only if the appointee was appointed by the other party. I argue that the apparent conflict of interest is only surface level. In the US we don't have "capitalism", we have "crony capitalism" that is verging on technocracy (rule of The Science and unelected bureaucrats).

> The root of all government problems is "We trust you to make decisions that impact a large amount of monetary value, but also pay you less than the amount of money flowing through you, and also pay you less than private industry would be willing to.

The kinds of people who make those decisions are paid very well, and if they make it out without media incident, they are nearly always guaranteed a job in the industry they used to regulate.

My laptop headphone jack is 1-2ft away from me during every video call and I still prefer AirPods (on Linux no less!)
It would be nice if audio from all your devices played at once through AirPods instead of it trying to switch by guessing which one you want to listen to. In exactly the same way you can hear all your devices at once if not using headphones, the advantage being only you can hear them and not anyone else.

Eg if watching TV on a laptop with headphones but you get sent a TikTok or short clip on your phone it plays over the TV and you just tune out the TV for a few seconds like you would if your were at home watching TV while using your phone.

Maybe Microsoft wants to keep Windows their advertising sandbox therefore working with the largest advertising company in the world wasn't seen as wise. Whereas Amazon's whole thing is just about ecosystem building/device tie-ins, so there's less conflict of interests (Microsoft after all doesn't make many of the devices or services Amazon does).
