I think this quote is missing some important context. Here's a bit more:

"In August 2020, we received a preliminary draft decision from the
Irish Data Protection Commission (IDPC) that preliminarily concluded that Meta Platforms Ireland's reliance on SCCs in respect of European user data does not
achieve compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and preliminarily proposed that such transfers of user data from the European Union to
the United States should therefore be suspended. We believe a final decision in this inquiry may issue as early as the first half of 2022. If a new transatlantic data
transfer framework is not adopted and we are unable to continue to rely on SCCs or rely upon other alternative means of data transfers from Europe to the United
States, we will likely be unable to offer a number of our most significant products and services, including Facebook and Instagram, in Europe, which would
materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations."

>They are the reason why you can not use mobiles on a plane.

The reason you can't [reliably] use mobiles on a plane is the network is designed for terrestrial use with slow handoffs from tower to tower

The signal is shaped to keep it aimed more-or-less downward, and is intended to hand-off from tower to tower at "normal" travel speeds (say, up to ~100mph)

Could handoffs be designed to work at 500kts? Sure

Could towers be designed to aim a notable chunk of signal upwards into the emptiness of sky and space? Sure

But why? The overwhelmingly-typical use case is that of billions of people on the ground moving slowly

The number of airplanes in the air at any given time is minuscule in comparison
IIRC the audio is the same for all formats, so this shouldn't be an issue. You just continue playing what you have and stop downloading new video chunks. I think the biggest problem is that when you switch to the tab you would need to wait a bit for the video to appear (or it would need to pause and stutter). That is actually quite a hard problem as well because the player needs to decide how far into the future it should start fetching video.

Yes, that’s right. Other possible effect of mutations in the spike protein can be, for example, disruption of the conformational change needed for ACE2 binding (the ‘down to up flip’ mentioned in the article). In fact, such a mutation is present in the spike protein expressed by mRNA vaccines.
It is starting to be understood that there is a huge need for global methane measurements. Lot's of companies are starting to (or already have) move into this space, and I've seen several mentioned in the comments here. But I think it is worth mentioning that measuring methane (and other greenhouse gases) from space is an extremely hard problem. The precision/accuracy requirements to be able be able to globally characterize methane sources/sinks, which is one of the goals of TROPOMI (the instrument used here), are extremely stringent. These commercial methane sensors are mostly designed with the goal of identifying sources, rather than rigorously determining their influence on the global methane budget.
DVC also runs pipelines in the cloud so you can run experiments remotely at different scales and share results with others.

Which is why the leakers should be financially punished so that they are no longer cheap. If their prices are so cheap they are unable to afford basic mantainence or quality builds, then a) maybe pay the C-suite people a little less (they can't afford it), b) they are not charging enough to actually run a business.
I think that's a reasonable view at this point. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, particularly when a lot of the few will be dead soon enough anyway.

> the cost of energy is borne by the tenant, but the cost of renovations would be borne by the landlord

In addition, as house prices are so high, owner-occupiers often don't have the means to make these improvements until they have been in the house for five or more years.

Landlords get to claim the cost of improvements as a business expense and can save an enormous amount of tax on making those improvements.

Owner-occupiers have to pay out of their net income. So if it costs me 10k, it only costs a landlord 6k. But they still don't do it.

Forcing rented accommodation to have EPC E or better is a really low bar. I think it should be compulsory for landlords to carry out all EPC recommendations to a certain value within a sensible period.
It wasn't well executed. The standard migration tool (2to3) was kind of considered a failure and the better one (six) wasn't ready, or even around at the time.

Python came this || close to dying during the migration, its users all having moved to other languages. Primarily data science saved it and then some time passed and libraries moved on, etc, and after a while the cost benefit calculation started swaying towards Python3, probably after 3.3 at least, so 4 years after Python3's launch.
For the same reason we don't have gladiators anymore. We are at a point in time where humans can meet all of our dietary needs through plants as we now understand what things need to be fortified and which don't. Eating meat, for many people, boils down to killing another being for one's own pleasure "tastiness" (I put it in quotes because most people butcher cooking meat at home). If one has no qualms with killing animals unnecessarily, then we should really be feeding all the stray dogs to the homeless but obviously this does not happen. Why? Because people have moral issues with killing dogs and cats. Not eating meat is simply an extension of this.
Do you think the past 2 years of digital-only communications has really enticed kids into the arms of Facebook/the like and their live-your-life-in-a-headset plan?

I get a sense of the opposite.

Bloody cassette tapes and boomboxes are back in style. It's not just a gimmick. Kids are nostalgic for a past they didn't even know—one without such intense and obligatory interconnection—one where they can run around and get dirty and mess up and not have it broadcast to everyone and monetized by international corporations.

I don't blame them.
Even allowing that junior salaries reach this high (that's in the range for a senior in Berlin at least), that would be the PRE-TAX figure. Remove 40% (again, approximate taxes in Berlin, potentially more if you pay the "church" tax) and you've got 45150€, a significant difference.

So many towns where I live put issues on the agenda for town meetings. How this works in practice is that, if there's some issue that someone (like a developer) feels strongly about, they pack the town meeting with allies and push it through because most people probably don't care much and don't even attend the meeting.
Absolutely not a dick move, regardless of the status of projects. Raising rates is part of contracting. Once they know your value, you're in a great position to ask for a significant rate increase. I have no context so take this with a grain of salt, but I'd ask for the $100 that you wanted initially; the fact that they didn't accept that rate 6 months ago does not mean they wouldn't accept that (or more) now that they know you.

As gostsamo wrote, ask if they're interested in continuing. If they are, here's an example of what you could say next: "I've really enjoyed working with you and I'd love to continue. I'd be most comfortable with $100/hr. Would you consider that at this point?"
Because we spend 90% of our time in meetings?
I suspect it is more likely that they are pressing the US government to repel the law that give them the rights to access any data of non US persons, so they can continue to operate in Europe. After all, it is not in the interests of the US government to have big tech fail in Europe.
I think their Metaverse push was actually a great way for rats to escape a sinking ship ... by finding a new ship!

Facebook just could never really capture the whole "facilitating real world interactions" thing, and for most people it became simply a way to maintain an online avatar / identity, argue about politics, comment on cat memes, and otherwise waste time in cyberspace. That's what they're good at, and maybe with the metaverse they can at least make people more productive with that.

Now there are BENEFITS to MetaVerse. Less usage of fossil fuels. Facebook also facilitated conversations between people around the world, that would otherwise not meet. But its centralized nature and limited flexibility held back the whole space.

But when it comes to making plans in real life, forming relationships, deal flow etc. you need open source software like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZ1O_gmPneI
Here lies the problem. Just because a component of the v8 compiler is called an “interpreter” it doesn’t mean that JavaScript (via v8) is an interpreted language.

Which is the point I’m making. Back in the 80s and 90s scripting languages often had no compilation stage aside maybe building an AST and were pretty much 100% interpreted. Anything that ran from byte code was considered compiled (like BASIC vs Java, VB6). Interpreters often ran line by line too.

These days most scripting languages that were traditionally interpreted languages run more like Java except compiled JIT rather than AOT.

But it seems people have warped “interpreted” to mean JIT to compensate for the advancements in scripting runtimes. That is a bastardisation of the term in my opinion. But when you look through this thread you’ll see the same error repeated over and over.
I'm 14. Am I too old for a career in tech?
Love the Socrates quote.

I would take the opposite approach if I had kids. Build a really baddass PC with KDE Plasma, great monitor, just a perfect workstation then tell the kid they can't use it. This is what grownups use to build Youtube and all the apps you love, you aren't old enough to use this.

Build the most simple youtube search app with vanilla js/html/css and then act like the code is almost pornographic and they can't even look at it. Finally at some point give in to them begging to see what is going on.

Emulating basic on an Apple IIe is like forcing the kid to learn trombone and play Count Basie tunes because that was what was cool back in the day. They will despise trombone by the time they are teenagers.
At least for the front-end part another, more complete framework like Angular might have been a better fit for the author. Angular comes with pretty much all you need.
> Cryptocurrencies also aren't really finished yet

It’s been 14 years. When will they be “finished”? What does that look like? What are the goals?

It seems to me like the original goals failed (take over the world, everyone use Bitcoin like cash) and so the goalpost moving began (sidechains, PoW “soon”, NFTs, etc).

I’ve seen nothing of value produced out of 14 years if hype. Only wasted resources and what seems to be an accidental Ponzi scheme.
I'm not sure what your point is. You've invented a premise I didn't suggest, about the lack of minimum wage laws and $0 / hr.

If someone is going to reference the US minimum wage, pretending that it matters for the Big Mac context, then it's quite relevant what percentage of the labor force is actually earning the minimum wage. Today that number is exceptionally low and it's trivial for most people in the bottom labor tier to earn far more than minimum wage.

About the only places still commonly paying minimum wage, are small mom & pop businesses in the middle of nowhere (ie places entirely devoid of competition from the previously mentioned big businesses). Independent convenience stores run by Joe and Susie Shop Owner in Buckhannon West Virginia, jobs held by local teenagers that can't drive 60 minutes to the nearest Walmart (except of course even Buckhannon has a Walmart Supercenter; a town in the middle of nowhere with 5,000 people).

The biggest entry-level US employers - which hoover up labor anywhere they can get it - are all paying far more than the minimum wage (along with other now standard benefits like health insurance, which is very expensive and not included in the pay figures).
Conventional choice at a framework level isn't really necessary though, is it?

I mean, you can read and choose what you like whether it's Nest/Adonis/Blitz or anything else. Once that choice is made everything that follows is opinionated.

A big reason is of course the possibility of using arbitrarily complex letters or symbols, thus allowing Kanji (and Hanzi) to be used.

I'm reading a book right now on the difficulty that Hanzi brought to the developing china of the early 20th century [1]. The difficulties are all mostly predictable - cultural attachment, the fragmentation of languages and dialects, transliteration of tonal variants, finding a large enough keyboard etc.

But there are some interesting things I didn't know, for example that there were attempts to decompose symbols into radicals that could be combined.

I don’t fully understand the issues people have with JavaScript and especially React. Maybe it’s because we invested some time in setting up a baseline project with ESLint, prettier and a TSConfig that makes for an entirely fascist way of doing TypeScript that just happens to always work. Maybe it’s because we don’t NPM install a lot of things, but instead take what we need and build our own packages (riding free on the backs of hard OS labourers, but hey). Maybe it’s because we build most compute heavy things in Azure functions running either dotnet or Node. Maybe it’s because we’ve adopted ODATA, build a generic API for 95% or our use cases and then build an ODATA TS client that includes types for all ODATA URI conventions and all our tables. Maybe it’s because all our packages are build with Rollup and Microsoft’s own Type API. Maybe it’s because our pipelines flow directly through Azure DevOPs and into different deployment slots automatically once it’s set up with docker. Maybe it’s because I’ve never worked smart with another tech stack.

But building things with react is frankly the easiest, least complicated and most enjoyable thing that I have ever worked with.

For references I have a decades worth of C# experience, with a gradual transition into Python and now into C# and mainly TypeScript.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think you should use a tool that isn’t right for you. If Ruby works, great. If Django works, awesome. Hell, if old customised ASP 3.0 web forms help you deliver the product you need to deliver, then I’m just never going to judge you. I’ve been part of teams that created incredibly business value with tools most people would consider insane after all.

But I think TypeScript is just increasingly useful. The only thing you can’t do with TypeScript, and especially with JavaScript, is Google solutions.

I learned this the hard way when I had to build my first NPM package. It was easy enough, but then it had to work with Azure functions and I entered a world of hurt. As any good senior programmer, I read the documentation and didn’t understand one bit or it, other than GitHub enterprise has replaced NPM enterprise which is kind of shit when you’re using Azure DevOps and not GitHub, but hey, we’ll just put our packages public. I don’t have access to the corporate credit card anyway and getting it takes a week, and going public will enforce a lot of best practices on its own. Anyway, a week later and 9 million Google rabbit holes later, I stumble across rollup and Microsoft’s api for generating .d. type files. Ten minutes later, everything, works effortlessly. But that’s 9 million medium, dev.to, you name it attempts later. It’s 9 million different ts configurations. It’s 9 million package.jsons later.

So I sort of lied when I said that I didn’t get the author, because I do, but the thing is. It’s not really the technology is it? To me at least it’s rather the endless sea of useless “look at me” blog posts that inevitably follows popular technologies.

Allow me to speculate that the guy’s manager is perhaps new at being a manager. Imagine going into being a manager from being an engineer not knowing you’re up against sociopaths in your own org who want to gut your team (other commenters have called it a bloodsport).

I’d love to see the data correlating PIPs of reports to manager tenure. I bet there is an inverse correlation. So to prospective hires, ask your hiring manager how long THEY have been a manager AT AMAZON before you waste time going through the whole interview process.

I had a manager who was one of those org-psychopaths you speak of and it was entertaining to watch him tear apart managers of other teams. Absolutely shred their OP1 docs and argue that their team was working on utter bullshit.

Don’t get me wrong there was a lot of good stuff about Amazon, their operations culture is second to none, but a lot of the ways I saw people being treated and bad behavior from managers being tolerated rubbed me the wrong way. I absolutely saw PIP being used reactively to block a transfer to my team, for instance.

I think you meant to say that you can build the front end of an RoR app in JS/SPA and host it on S3.

Either it's inane wordplay or it's obviously nonsense for most definitions of conscious. An illusion must be perceived, so in that sense the proposition is self-refuting. Also, you have empirical evidence against it: you know when you're conscious and that sometimes you aren't (and that it's a spectrum.) Thirdly, you can behaviorally define conscious. Fourthly, if I'm not mistaken, you can measure its presence neurologically. To say that all of this is an illusion is stupidity or being very obtuse for attention (like clickbait.)
Did people in the 70s really make $3 an hour?
No - typing is still basically a complete after-thought in Rails.

Sorbet is trying, but it's... not there yet (although getting better).
The experiences are real, but the homunculus behind your eyes that you think of as yourself is an illusion. In reality there are a bunch of fairly independent processes talking to each other, sharing the perceptions, reacting to them, feedback from those reactions again become a perception, a "narrator" process that often gives running commentary in your mother-tongue, etc. The interaction of those processes feels like a unified thing, "you", and that's the illusion. This illusion has adaptive advantages, because it helps the organism take care of its needs, so evolution selects for it.

That's my take, maybe not exactly the same as Damasio and Seth's, but compatible with theirs.
