The Art of the Brick SF: World’s Most Popular Lego Exhibit
I don’t understand why platforms like Twitter don’t make money the easy way: let people pay for visual customizations, like a different profile shape (octogonal instead of a circle), or a special banner or label, or any other cosmetics. That has been very successful for multiplayer games since more than a decade, people love to pay to show their cool new cosmetic. Let people pay for cool set of emotes. Or different colors, etc.

That doesn’t require ads, is optional, and works well in a social context.
One thing that can facilitate adoption is a smooth path from a working software based on Postgresql to EdgeDB:

We have a software that's a GraphQL interface to a database that's populated with a project (let's call it the indexer project) we do not control. It would be great if we could check the database schema for problems it might have to be used as an EdgeDB database. Then we would migrate our application to use EdgeDB, while the indexer keeps loading our database through direct interaction with PostgreSql.
Yeah, if you're at all on the fence, or close to the fence, it's a fine time to get a mortgage, even if house prices have gone up somewhat. An excellent inflation hedge!
This kind of scares me. Privacy first tech groups seem to be getting more vocal about trying to change the whole industry.

I hope someday we have a fully open global tracking network, not affected by Apple an Mozilla and all the rest who seem to want to destroy any technology that can be used to invade privacy, regardless of how many legitimate uses it has.
But they were talking about hentai, not art.
> If your goal is stability

this is the thing to be questioned. Stability, at what cost? Is it worth tearing up the environment, tricking people into buying shitty disposable consumer products, financializing the economy, and stealing from the poor and unborn to give to the rich in the here and now? I don't really see anyone challenging the tradeoffs of stability in the economic discourse, it's just so often given as an unquestionably good thing.

Those ratios are too close to Jesus's "Parable of the Talents". (A "Talent" was a huge sum of silver in the Biblical / Roman days). One investor brought back 10 Talents, another brought back 5, and one brought back 1.

Probably just a coincidence to to round numbers and such, but it amuses me.

The context of "since IPO" for a company that's been public for almost a decade, in the tech business.

In fact, what other tech stock valued at double digit billions has had such a flat valuation for its whole lifetime, yet still survived?

Yes, a range of ~14-77, but it's neither taken off nor crashed.

Look at any other survivor and they'll be shaped more like Oracle, Cisco, FB&NFLX (well, recent troubles aside)

Look at them all over the last 9 years. Twitter stands out to me.

I dunno, maybe there are many big tech companies following the same pattern. But none of them are this high profile, so Twitter is the odd one out.
That seems crazy. I feel like MDN documentation is done so well. It balances well between giving good examples, and yet still remaining exhaustive in what it describes. Most extensive documentation ends up being less than useful and I have to fall back to just search results.
I'll have to read the book, but in my mind, the (emprical) study of humans and their brains doesn't shed light on the metaphysical question of the nature of mathematics. What they find is how humans have developed to do mathematics. We could have evolved to be the way we are with or without mathematics being "out there". Survival in the physical world would lead us to "throw away the metaphors that don't work well". At any point in time a concrete human being would still be able to consider only a limited set of mathematical ideas i.e. for humans "mathematics bottoms out at "what goes on in human noggins"".

I'd say the patterns you mentioned in an earlier comment are a way for math (or parts of it e.g. some integers) to be "out there". If humans embody mathematics, then analogously so do those patterns.
Paintings are responsible for the happiness of millions. So what? What people choose to do with your work you gave away (or allowed a museum to hang on a wall) is up to them. Don't give your work away if you don't want people to use it.

You're both right; it's an interesting question. Something that can't be used maliciously is probably not useful for much of anything at all. OTOH, when the potential for harm is far greater than the potential for good, as it arguably is here, that calls for extra discretion on the part of the developers.
Hmm no I found college much much easier than high school.

Unfortunately having been through a similar evolution, I feel the same, but when I talk to younger people, they think it's great.

I specifically agree with the part about barely-usable garbage. Whenever I'm linked to a Twitter thread it's a dumpster fire. Baffling.
As a person who never understood why twitter existed, let alone what purpose it might serve this information validates my feelings.
Pretty sure Covid stimulus started in March/April 2020, before this administration. People somehow tend to have amnesia about stuff that began under Republican administrations after a Dem administration takes over. See also: the 2008 financial crisis, the Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts.

So far they haven't solved something that resolves the problem of having US ownership as far as I can tell.

The issue isn't where the servers are. The issue is what parties can compell them to hand over information. As far as I've read on it at least. And if there is US ownership you have US courts that can demand information they aren't legally allowed to hand over according to EU law.
I assume they mean the useless "Closed, duplicate" (which almost never links to a duplicate) or "Closed, opinion" box. I forgot I can remove them with UBlock Origin.)
> The problem I see with vendor lock-in is when, after you're locked, the service provider exploit this to change their terms (price and/or else) in a disproportionate and unjustifiable way against your initial interests in the service.

> This never happened with AWS, to my knowledge (please correct if I'm wrong). Everyone knew the price when they subscribed. Little changed afterwards. AWS was able to meet a demand with quality enough products in an acceptable price to whoever decided to buy.

Vendor lock-in does not require any changes to terms, price, or any part of the service or product provided. In most classically studied cases of vendor lock-in (e.g., Microsoft Windows and Office binary formats, VHS vs. Beta), everyone knew the lack of interoperability when they bought the service/good, and nothing changed afterwards. That didn't stop those cases from becoming "vendor lock-in".

This reminds me of a certain facet of computer literacy: exploration. There are users who will only seek out menu items in software if they already know they are there and where, compared to users who will seek out the items they are looking for and can imagine that they probably do exist somewhere.

It's unimaginable to the latter user that one would possibly have to "learn" how to use Google Docs having only ever been exposed to MS Word, while the former is completely lost because the menus have to be re-learned and all the possibilities available to them must be re-memorized.

Maybe if you move all data to be managed by EdgeDB, then create a separate "legacy" schema that just contains views & triggers that forwards queries and mutations to the EdgeDB database.
Yeah. It's not stealing if they use it under the terms of the license you placed your project under.

I personally prefer licenses like MPL or LGPL, because it aligns with my own views of open source. If you're going to change and/or improve my project, I want those changes available to the community. If you just use my project as-in, I don't really care.

I mean, if you turn my shower-thought open source project into the next multi-million dollar service, ya know, a kickback would be nice, but I'm not expecting that in any way. And either way, if a company were to put money into one of my projects, I would personally consider myself to have an obligation to listen to them. That turns the project from a thing I did to relax into a potential chore, and I may not really want that.
Do these companies consistently use associates, or is there a division between say hourly and salary, or retail vs back-office employees? (I am specifically excluding things like directory and C-level positions because those tend to be much more specialized contracts.) For example, Trader Joe's has Crew Members for the average retail workers, and Mates/Captain for the manager level. Just the titles alone implied a hierarchy.

Does Amazon call their SDEs and SREs associates as well? If not, then they're still setting up a pecking order.

(As an aside, I can accept calling your employees associates, or something cute like colleagues or outfitters, depending on the nature of the business. But Starbucks calling their employees partners rubs me the wrong way. That one does just seem like gaslighting.)
Apple introduced content blocking in Safari in iOS 9 with privacy in mind. Essentially, content blockers started off as filter lists that Safari would use. Even with the more recent support for WebExtensions, this wouldn’t allow uBlock Origin because uBO gets to see every network request made, intercept it, match the requests with the blocking rules and prevent or allow them. Granted that uBO is trustworthy and has never siphoned off browsing behavior to other systems. But that risk exists with almost every extension of this kind on other browsers.

I use Firefox with uBO, and am not supportive of Apple’s position on not allowing uBO. But I see the value in controlling what information browser extensions can see, capture and possibly exfiltrate.
Oh, yeas, your proof is quite real. And it's completely meaningless, being all about imaginary things.

It can only have any meaning if you adhere to some scientific model.

At this point you've deviated so much from the OP discussion that you could as well talk about angels dancing in pinheads. Any quantification of them is as real as your proof.

I love philosophy but I just don't agree. I love history also but I think that is just as much a waste of time for kids.

A teenager in the modern world has just not lived long enough to put these ideas in any kind of context.

It just becomes an exercise in memorization and test taking.

I think of my 16 year old self contemplating the ideas of Schopenhauer. What could be a bigger waste of time? Just preposterous, just making kids hate the subject.
>Environmentalists are blocking construction of more wind power

Environmentalists really are their own worst enemies. When I was in high school near San Diego about 15 years ago, there was a huge amount of opposition to a solar power project. From environmentalists. There was a solar power plant out in Imperial County and the environmentalists were protesting the high voltage lines that would bring the power into San Diego. Something about them going through an area full of endangered tortoises or something like that if I recall correctly.
Dogs rely much more on smell. Anecdotally my dog doesn’t really react to screens, reacts a bit to audio (e.g. hearing my voice in a FaceTime call can make his ears perk up), and occasionally unexpectedly reacts to unusual smells. For example when I walked him near a garbage truck he started backing at it kind of like how he barks at other dogs.

So unless the AI smells like a dog it probably won’t.
There's such a thing as a manual pick and place machine. I agree, though, it would fascinating to know how these were assembled.

Where?
I think that a key issue in this case isn't just that Apple made a device that could be used for tracking - after all, you could engineer or buy a different tracking device from a number of vendors - but that its feasibility was massively increased due to a unique Apple asset - its network of iDevices. That is, Apple released a product that was uniquely good at tracking people due to an Apple-specific asset.

Slightly less, but still very importantly, there's the fact that by design you can't see if someone is tracking you unless you buy another Apple product, which wasn't an intrinsic engineering limitation, but just a choice that Apple made for their own profit.

I mean Ridley Scott's The Last Duel features the last instance in France of its eponymous jurisprudence technique which came from Germanic tribal law before they were even literate (Germanic tribal warlords becoming the aristocracy everywhere but Ireland in post-Roman Western Europe), and this is about 500 or 600 years ago, never mind how much further back into the Bronze or previous time periods that dueling as juridical adjudication came from and what the world looked like to make such an idea palpable.

The truly poor do not have jobs, nor much hope of one in future. They are on fixed state incomes at best, which if they are lucky may have a trivial rise some years after the fact.

We don't need to get terribly cerebral to note the basic mechanism of proportion, whereby $10 added to the daily food cost of a person who makes $50/day is vastly more impactful than the same $10 added to the daily food cost of a person who makes $500/day.
Sure. If you read Enlightenment Now you'll find several chapters devoted to how many of the horrors of the 20th century can be traced back to ideologies which subsume the individual into groupings involving some subset of ethnic group, nationality, and social class. They are doubly dangerous if they are then paired with utopian ideals. Because if the ends justify the means, and the ends are a perfect good, you can rationalize ay horror.

You can find similar points of view in many previous writers from points as distant in the ideological spectrum as George Orwell and Ayn Rand.
Strong reaction. In general we shouldn't discourage exploration and moving the needle forward. I actually agree with you that the language is somewhat stronger and the onus is on them to live up to it, but at the same time there is a lot of competition in this space (newer DBs) so nothing wrong with setting the bar high enough. :) They are specific with their use case (APIs), so that's excellent, as the core itself will not relinquish all the learnings of the "last century". ;)
Why does the intro ad sound like it was recorded in an Elementary School hallway?
YouTube and TikTok pay people who have popular videos, which gives "creators" an incentive to put a lot of work into what they do.

You can argue that the payouts are a pittance for the large number of views those YouTubers get, but in comparison, the only thing Twitter has done to reward its users is provide a virtual tip jar.

Not only that, you can't pay to remove ads on Twitter.

Yes. It's not surprising that the largest nuclear power company is based in France because France has the largest share of power from nuclear of any country (>70%). However, like most Western countries, France's nuclear reactor building has largely stalled and they have been coasting on past accomplishments. If they succeed at building more reactors, it will be unusual (and imo good).

>Were you keeping stateful "widgets" on the Java side or hydrating from client >state for interactions?

IIRC it was 90% on the Java side. The default polling rate was something along the lines of 200 ms. So if you clicked a checkbox on the front end, it would perform the animation for clicking it on the front end but it wasn't considered checked until the backend was informed of it and signed off on it. In Java code if you had a listener for onClick you would write a normal Java method and it would get invoked normally with access to all your server stuff. As you can imagine, Echo2 server session objects could get pretty heavy. Reminded me a bit of mainframes and terminal clients lol :)

I honestly don't get it. My company gets a lot of traffic from Twitter apparently so I signed up to get some perspective. I mostly follow journalists and publications as well as some business and tech folks I like. I see so many context-free messages of people arguing about topics I'm out of the loop on or posting links to news I already saw in a better aggregator. Maybe once or twice a week do I see an interesting bit of insight but it's drowning in an ocean of gibberish. And as far as I can tell that's the entire premise of the platform.
Well you always have the option of not doing business in 200 countries, just because the internet made that easier it doesn't mean you must...

Your certitude here is making you look quite ignorant of history.

In August 2013 the U.S. government formally acknowledged the U.S. role in the coup by releasing a bulk of previously classified government documents that show it was in charge of both the planning and the execution of the coup, including the bribing of Iranian politicians, security and army high-ranking officials, as well as pro-coup propaganda.[28][29] The CIA is quoted acknowledging the coup was carried out "under CIA direction" and "as an act of U.S. foreign policy, conceived and approved at the highest levels of government".[30]
