> This argument seems tenuous. I see the customer's risk. Where is your risk?

The purpose of the contract is to reduce your risk. The original problem was that if you built the factory intending to sell for $25, the incumbents could reduce the price to $20 or $15, i.e. below your cost. Then you could never recover your initial investment and the high probability of that happening would deter you from entering the market to begin with.

The customer takes the risk because if you don't enter the market, they're paying $40 to the incumbents.

> If you have are an economist, please mention it - I'll take the argument more seriously on your say-so.

Professional economists have a reputation that compares disfavorably with psychics and astrologers. If an economist gives you your horoscope, make sure to get a second opinion. If the second opinion is from another economist, expect it to be different.

Person doesn't feel good. Mild flu-like symptoms. There's a good chance that the patient will get better if I do literally nothing. However, I also know that it could be X, Y, Z... So I order a test to prove that it's not those diseases because if it turns out to be them it would make me guilty of gross negligence.

Concrete example: symptoms of hypothyroidism are similar to depression, therefore you must rule out hypothyroidism in order to diagnose depression.

Haim Saban didn't become a billionaire by trying harder in that way. He built an empire off of cross-national media translocation, not chasing Citizen Kane.

Cars aren't industrial equipment. A different set of laws and warranty repair laws are applied to each.

If tractors were able to be classified as cars for warranty and such - such that the people who make modifications to them are liable for damages caused by the device (rather than the manufacturer), there wouldn't be as much of an issue.

As it is, if you are able to modify the emissions controls for a tractor and the manufacturer doesn't try to make it impossible to do that, the EPA goes after the manufacturer instead of the owner or operator.

In the mean time, see if you can legally make any changes to your car's catalytic converter and replace it with a pipe.

> I still have to tell some engineers with 10-15 years experience to stop navel gazing over the tech choices, and get the damn software out the door already.

This may be an unpopular thing to say, but at most companies, you should have less senior engineers than that doing nearly all of the "get the damn software out the door already" work. The 10-15 years experience people should really be doing work with broader impact than that. And this isn't to downplay the importance of that just-get-things-done role at all! It's critically important. But it's a ratio thing; most companies should have a lot of earlier career folks implementing things and a few later career (or just very high achieving) folks setting technical direction, discovering and advocating for new projects, yada yada yada. I think the truth is that lots of places have this ratio out of whack with respect to the actual availability of impactful projects to work on. If there isn't enough work for folks at Staff level and above beyond just knocking out crud apps, you've got a mismatch.

I see tons of comments on how IBM sucks. Fair enough - they do.

However, consider that IBM is selling off its AI crown jewel to “* refocus its business on cloud computing and AI services*.”

So an IBM that does something like that knows it has a problem and is killing off the parts it doesn't need, so it can simplify and improve focus.

To me, this is a good indication that the new IBM will be quite different from the recent IBM, and more like the old IBM (pre 1980’s).

Not, Google, but I'm having sort of the same problem with Facebook. My church has a Facebook account that we used to set up our public page years ago. We assigned editors to the page, then promptly never used that account again. Fast forward to this year, and I need to add a new editor, which only the page admin can do. I reset the password on the church's facebook account (it was lost years ago), but when I log in, it says it doesn't recognize my location and it needs me to get codes from a list of trusted contacts (a list that I'm fairly certain we never set up). When any of those trusted contacts go to the page it lists, Facebook tells them they aren't trusted contacts. I have tried to get Facebook to respond to me in every single possible way. I have gone through all of their help pages, talked to their bot until it said it would forward my message to a human that could help, sent emails to every address I could find, reported the page and account on every form I could, hit up Meta on other social media, and even reached out to Oculus support and offered to buy a headset if I needed one for them to be able to help me get access back to the account. The only response I've gotten is from Oculus telling me they can't do anything. That's it. No other responses at all. I swear it would be easier to answer one of the 37 recruiters that have reached out to me, interviewed for a position, gotten hired, and then fixed it myself.

Forced no, but that's the issue with complex regulations, they all interact in subtle ways and no one can fully predict the side effects.

One can argue that public agencies created bad incentives with regulations that mandated ratings agencies' assessments, and then shielded various parties from any accountability by bailing them out, thus removing the main feedback loop of the system (ie: you mess up, you fail).

Similar case here. One of the Google accounts I have has three 2FA setups: SMS, TOTP, and Yubikey. One time I tried logging in I didn't have my Yubikey with me. I thought no problem I'll use the TOTP authenticator app. Google told me I can't login even though the code was correct.

There wasn't any way to address that except by actually using the Yubikey to log in.

I have essentially zilch preconceptions of what "staff" should mean in this context. Why would it make any more sense between "associate" and "senior" than between "senior" and "principal". What does the word even imply? I never saw it before google so I think of it as a very senior role, but the word itself remains an empty vessel for me.

The Ingress Controller spreadsheet[1] was what initially raised my interest in APISIX. The feature support matrix in APISIX's column is very very very high, most impressive.

APISIX and Nginx+ are the only two with anything in the QUIC/HTTP3 field. Both currently "preview". Which is young, but I'm very excited, very neat to see this new entrant getting support from this front-end gateway. Especially with WebTransport shipping in chrome, there's a lot of re-architecting the data-center that's underway. Any toehold is appreciated.

Ya'll tick a bunch of other fairly unique boxes. Service API ("Ingress v2") is ticked. That's excellent. HA, DPDK & Offload support up the wazoo: ya'll clearly have a high performance, enterprise-grade bent, which is excellent. I don't know what your Global Load Balancing option entails but that you're thinking about it is visionary & wonderful. There's a ton to love here.

France:

- Rapid test (antigen test by a professional): free in most cases, 22€ otherwise, usually easy to get tested the same day, but lines can be sometimes long if you don't have an appointment

- Self tests: 2-5€, often out of stock.

- PCR tests: free in most cases, 44€ otherwise, may take a few days to have an appointment, plus a day for the results

Anyone can get tested for any reason, but contact cases, prescriptions, and people with symptoms are supposed to have priority.

The incidence rate in France is crazy at the moment, almost 4000, and while I will not say today is the easiest time for getting tested, if you want, you can. If anything, such a high incidence rate means that testing capacity is not that bad. Positivity rate is around 26%.

Government recommendations regarding testing are a huge mess however. They keep changing, they call for self tests that are unavailable, they are different depending on your vaccination status and age, etc...

I've been thinking a fun game would be a very simple 1v1 first person shooter where you play locally against a neural net AI whose only source of learning is playing you, and you can have it fight online against other player's AIs.

Whether that would actually be fun or not, I think NN AI in games is underutilized at the moment. Probably because running one is so much more CPU/GPU intensive than just some scripted actions for basically the same results.

Taking mosquitos as an example: a female mosquito can lay ~100 eggs each time it feeds, and those eggs take < 10 days to mature into adults. Assuming each female only lays one batch of eggs (conservative), A single female mosquito can spawn over 125,000 other females per month.

I'm not sure that every single bug is like that, but the exponential growth is pretty crazy. As your parent said, the carrying capacity of the environment is all that really matters. If a population can multiple 125,000x per month, it is basically guaranteed to fill the environment's carrying capacity no matter how many you kill.

You just learn about the edge cases. This applies to everything. There's a number of languages where an empty list/array is truthy and a number where it's falsey. Learn the tool, do some defensive programming (always quote the strings) and you'll be fine.

TOML sucks for list of tables simply because they intentionally crippled inline tables to only be able to occupy one line. For ideology reasons ("we don't need to add a pseudo-JSON"). Unless your table is small, it's going to look absolutely terrible being all crammed into one line.

https://github.com/toml-lang/toml/issues/516

The official way to do list of tables is (look at how much duplication there is)

[[main_app.general_settings.logging.handlers]]
name = "default"
output = "stdout"
level = "info"

[[main_app.general_settings.logging.handlers]]
name = "stderr"
output = "stderr"
level = "error"

[[main_app.general_settings.logging.handlers]]
name = "access"
output = "/var/log/access.log"
level = "info"

vs

handlers = [
{
name = "default",
output = "stdout",
level = "info",
}, {
name = "stderr",
output = "stderr",
level = "error",
}, {
name = "access",
output = "/var/log/access.log",
level = "info",
},
]

I would still reach for TOML first if I only needed simple key-value configuration (never YAML), but for anything requiring list-of-tables I would seriously consider JSON with trailing commas instead.
With a static site, the git repo is the main database and the stuff that's publicly accessible is the copy. I could seamlessly host it on three different providers at once (GitLab, Netlify, DigitalOcean) if I cared to, all mirroring my repo.
