Around 15 years ago I needed to build an internal app for my company that would aggregate and display a lot of data. Our backends were all in Java and I had sour taste for JavaScript from a previous project so I looked around for an AJAX framework that would allow me to avoid writing any JavaScript. Lo and Behold there were actually 2 viable ones on the market: Google GWT and Echo2. I played with both of them and Echo2 blew me away. It looked and acted better than anything else on the market at the time. Rich widgets, translucency, works in (almost) any browser, etc. I rolled an app with it. The mechanism of operation was pretty similar to LiveView except WebSockets didn't exist at the time so it worked by having a super thin JavaScript client that polled the web server on the regular basis. So yeah, a bit chatty but for intranet app I didn't care much. Everything worked and felt like it was a Java Swing app but in a browser. The app became popular and we started writing extensions to it and adding modules. Then inevitable customization came. "Can we create a widget that does X?" "Ughh let me take a look.". This is when my nightmare began. Writing a new widget for this thing required putting together some utterly nightmarish JavaScript code and then compiling it together with equally nightmarish piece of Java code. If you had any custom stylesheet you basically were screwed. So roughly 2 years down the road from starting the project I started rewriting it in pure JavaScript and ExtJS (now called Sencha), which was one of the first few juggernaut frameworks for writing SPAs circa 2007-2008. That's why when things like Blazor and LiveView roll around I get flashbacks akin to post traumatic stress disorder.

If you can't change it without breaking countless unknown appliction programs in the wild, it's part of the architecture.

If you're incorporating uncool quirks from crappy previous operating systems into your new one, don't criticize Unix.

Oh, and don't use its implementation language, and related concepts and techniques.
So should it be pull or push-based? Because all the cases you've stated imply one, whereas the active tracking pervasive in modern advertising implies the other.

Aleuts were not continuously(from times of Beringia) living on those islands. Aleuts are very closely linked to Inuits and the understanding about Inuits is that they started to expand 3000 years ago.
One of the initial drives to that 3000 year old expansion was because of new technologies(at that time), that helped to survive in North and that coincides with migration of N-Tat people(most of them nowadays are living in NE Europe).
Genetically Aleuts are more related to Asian Eskimos and Chukchi, than to American Eskimos and Kamchatkian natives, so their spread is "recent"(no more than 3000 years). Nowadays Aleuts by patrilinear line are more related to Europeans - which started from Russian colonisation and mixing with Russians.

The thing about migratory highways is that people who live there(on migration highway) are not be able to continuously be connected to that place, due to constant influx of new people that pushes them along, like waves in ocean. But nonetheless - all people are related to other people and have very deep and long and unique ancestry. And the unique is what matters - and story that comes with it. But in this case those early Beringia inhabitants are more closely linked to American natives in Brazil, than to Aleuts.
Being too early is essentially the same thing as being wrong in this case.

The focus is on FB because they are the ones taking ad revenue away from news publishers and traditional media. That gives the media more incentive to publish negative articles about them.

So you trust them outside of the Middle East fully aware that they push a line because they are state-controlled media associated with a slave-labor using regime just because they aren't talking about the middle east?

OK.
It seems that every popular Social Media platform became an extension of the liberal governments. I trust a proper sentiment analysis would reveal this.
I unload trucks and stock shelves at Target. You think my viewpoint about inflation is gonna get published in a way that anyone sees?
If the stock market and housing doesn't appreciate then inflation would harm us all. Couldn't the cost of living increase while investment vehicles stay flat caused by rising interest rates.
Advertising is informing people that you've got a solution to their needs. The most effective salesmen are people who figure out what the customer needs and provides it to them.
We are not smarter than our ancestors. Human brain size is down 20% from peak, and is continuing to shrink.
Thanks everyone. I'll check those out.
Exactly. If more economists acknowledged this obvious truth, it would be much easier to have saner policies in this area.

One thing to add is that, in addition to being a tax on savings, inflation also leads to misallocation of resources, because the newly printed money is not distributed equally. (If it were, it would actually have little economic effect, because all prices, including wages, would rise by exactly the same fraction and everybody's behavior would be unchanged, other than the unavaoidable tax on savings.) So the money that is being taxed away from those with savings is being given to whoever is favored by the authority that is printing the money. That allows those favored parties to bid away resources from others even if those resources would be more productively employed elsewhere. And so we get, for example, huge swaths of commercial real estate built (because one of the favored parties is financial institutions who give loans on real estate) and sitting empty for years, while our infrastructure crumbles because there aren't enough construction resources available to fix it.

The reciprocal to advertising is education. Not like professional training, but general citizenry that develops self-awareness and critical thinking skills.
I've heard this idea before and I like it, but my guess is that there's no realistic chance of something like that becoming standardized across companies. There would need to be some standard format established somewhere, which isn't impossible, but will inevitably lead here: https://m.xkcd.com/927/
I first saw surface mount parts in a camcorder viewfinder - flea market find - I picked up in 1985 or 1986. I don't think I even read about them until the 90s otherwise. I was surprised the first time I found out how far back they went. There must have been a huge chicken-and-egg problem involved in bringing them to the mainstream.
>Lattice has been by far the favorite of the FOSS community

i'm interested in the OSS flows but i haven't dug in yet. so some questions (if you have experience): isn't it only for their ice40 chips? and how smooth is the flow from RTL to bitstream to deploy?

one hesitation i have with jumping in is that i'm working on accelerator type stuff, so my designs typically need on the other of 30k-50k LUTs. will yosys+nextpnr let me deploy such a design to some chip?
The problem is that these sites have optimized their algorithms to show you content which provoke a reaction, they don't care if positive or toxic. At least that's what FB does, dunno about Twitter tbh.

> Apple refuses to implement RCS protocol…

And rightfully so. Apple supporting it won’t help the folks in Switzerland because Swisscom don’t support it. And why would they? They are clearly simplifying (cost saving) the stack. RCS is a poorly designed protocol with little to no carrier support outside of the US.
Think how ridiculous it sounds that Google only has URLs listed in robot.txt. They wouldve gone out of business long ago.
The problem is YouTubers still get sponsored and advertise within the video. I would not want to pay for YouTube Premium and still get exposed to those ads.
Exactly this has happened. People have long inferred various things about long-term Apple projects, such as self-driving cars (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_electric_car_project), based on the hires they've made (including acquihires). Coupled with Apple's noted paranoia, I can well see this being the reason why they would refuse to disclose someone's team, or even their specialism or seniority.
> never had to deal with any Linux Server admin BS.

Oh, you just had to deal with a different flavor of BS. Or you was lucky and everything just worked out for you (but why Google Cloud and not some PaaS like Heroku, so you don't have to deal with cloud infrastructure/servers BS altogether?)

I've been both a system administrator, managing GNU/Linux and FreeBSD servers in the ancient ages, and DevOps guy doing all sort of stuff in the clouds. The complexity is still there, it hadn't disappeared in some magic cloud pixie dust, even though sales would wanna tell you that fairy tale. But here's the thing - you never get to dive into those waters (or hire someone to do it for you, be it an employee, contractor or paid support) unless shit hits the fan and forces you to.

You must've cheerfully walked through a minefield and haven't stepped on and even seen any mines. Honestly, I'm happy it worked that way. And hopefully, this minefield is sparse enough those days so you're a rule not an exception - I don't have meaningful statistics. It would be actually interesting to run a poll or something. I just happen to have seen a few companies/people for whom clouds weren't all unicorns and rainbows.

And as for the flavors - it just happened that you knew how to set up stuff in Google Cloud. Would you happened to know how to spin a simple instance on Digital Ocean instead and went that way, and be lucky to not encounter any serious issues, it would've been the same painless experience, just different flavor.
The part you're missing is the 'Equity Risk Premium' which historically has behaved independently of the risk-free rate.

Given that Google only updates Android for half as many years on a Pixel phone, there is planned obsolescence in play here, but not from Apple.
At least in the USA, root cause is the poor driving ability of an average driver. At medium to high congestion levels, it's less of a factor because the roads are so congested anyway. Once congestion drops below a certain threshold, in the USA you have these phalanxes of slow moving cars that other (also incompetent) fast moving cars are desperate to get around. Anecdotally, I personally found that the driving experience got much worse due to this effect. Whereas in Europe, people drive right and pass left. In the USA you're actually taught (if taught at all) to avoid lane changes.

Now if you tell me that accident counts went up in EU as well, then ok my reasoning is wrong.

OK I found https://wjes.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13017-021-0... which breaks it down. I didn't read it in detail but most of the increase (but not the single greatest increase) was in the US. For the rest of world, for the most part things got better with reduced traffic.

> Overall, the number of annual road death dropped significantly in most countries. However, few had the opposite. There was an overall reduction in the annual absolute number of road deaths in most of the 27 European countries by 17% [24], six Balkan countries by 11% [117], in Saudi Arabia by 20% [118], and in Japan by 12% [119, 120]. In contrast, the absolute number of road deaths increased in some countries like Luxembourg by18%, Ireland by 6%, Finland by 4%, and Switzerland by 21% [24, 117]. Similarly, it generally increased in the USA by 7% [110] with major variations in different states [121].

The study is detailed and they go more into it than just "deaths". Although I very much doubt that they get into studying driver skill.
Just as if you could plan which tool you'd need for a job... You'd be surprised how quick you can go from using a ratchet, to an impact, to an air driven 3/4" impact, to requiring an oxy-acetylene torch for a given job...

Let this be a lesson: Maintain local self-hosted copies of any necessary data, don’t rely on third-parties maintaining it and keeping it available. Should be standard practice for anyone doing anything serious with cryptocurrencies but unfortunately users seem complacent enough that easily accessible tooling is still lacking in many places and you may have to DIY scripts for some parts.

Your situation is unfortunate but it sounds like no fault on Optimism or Etherscan here.

(BTW just to be clear: you’re talking about off-chain data that was never part of on-chain txes, and this binary blob comes from some Optimism operator? If it’s on-chain data its just a matter of doing the right queries)
Engineers who cannot write, work for those who do.
I'm not suggesting web3 should use bittorrent, I'm suggesting it's not new and we've experimented with these ideas before.

I'm interested in the technology too and have been experimenting with blockchains for years, but I never saw it as a new 2022-era thing. Both bittorrent and bitcoin are from the 2000s and we've had plenty of time to see what they can and can't do.
Twitter is also hellbent on associating accounts with phone numbers. This is a dealbreaker for me. I will look into Nitter.
You'd also need the desire for such things.

I disagree. The hiring process is never interested in your version of the hardest engineer to find.

It's 1. pedigree then 2. "pass this coding challenge" then 3. some soft assessment of how "down for the cause" you are (will you work extremely hard and not quit so easily).

I haven't seen an exception, and I've interviewed widely and been the interviewer at multiple places (given a rubric of what to assess).

The fact that previous salary has anything to do with future salary comes from the same swamp of misinformation like "it's illegal to discuss your salary with your peers."

My approach when dealing with future salary is to tell them my previous job paid me ((what I want from next job) - X %). Previous salary doesn't appear in the equation.

I would agree, if I were making 6 figures. I'm DevSecOps, so I'm definitely doing multiple things. I don't earn "so much".
The buyer often may not know a product even exists that would fill his need.

For example, my car's cooling system was leaking. I had a devil of a time trying to figure out where it was leaking.

It turns out there's a perfect product for it - a device that pumps air into the radiator. You spray some soapy water around, and where it bubbles is where the leak is.

So in 5 minutes I could have found the leak, rather than wasting a great deal of time because I did not know such a tool existed.
What corners are they cutting? I’ve been looking at new cars and they have reduced options. In some case they even give money off the price since the features are lacking.

> Inflation is bad to the extent that it causes the total stuff we produce to go down or to become more poorly distributed, and good to the extent that it does the opposite.

Even doing the opposite can be bad if it's the wrong stuff. It's not just the total amount of stuff that matters; it's how much of the stuff is stuff people actually need or want, as opposed to stuff that gets produced but never actually used because it wasn't produced to meet a customer need, it was produced because of misallocation of resources.

> The more we stay focused on the production of stuff, and less on the quantity of money or inflation, the better off we will be, and inflation will take care of itself.

I agree with being focused on production, as long as it's production driven by actual customer needs. But that also means not just not focusing on the quantity of money, but taking away the government's ability to manipulate the quantity of money. Otherwise you will get misallocation of resources and you'll be producing the wrong things.
The Hacker News zeitgeist appears to be strongly anti-Twitter. I'm not entirely sure why.

As far as "is the stock fairly priced" - it is only 5% of the market cap of Facebook.

As far as "is Twitter a good product" - apart from complaints that people talk about politics on the app, I don't see anything substantial in the complaints here.
Just curious, what languages and tools are you using specifically?
Supply chain issues is perhaps the most common explanation the experts and laypeople are using for inflation? Aren’t those directly due to lockdowns and restrictions as factories aren’t running full speed.
If you buy any retail model today, it will be compatible.
If you use a graph database to store application data and you want a strict schema (and potentially improved performance), then YES.

If you use a graph database to run graph algorithms on your data, then NO. Although we'll be working on adding support for recursive queries to EdgeQL in the near future.
The Story behind ASINs (Amazon Standard Identification Numbers)
Rampant inflation is a problem. The inflation seen now in many places is not quite there. 7% is higher than we would like, but if the alternative is to have shrinking GDP and massive unemployment, I would rather have some inflation.

In the US at least, a lot of the raise in the US CPI is due to rising energy costs (predicted months ago due to cold winter in Asia), used and new cars (the infamous chip shortages), and food. Rising food costs is a problem, but it is not a catastrophic problem. The US federal government could subsidize farmers that grow real vegetables, not just corn and soybeans. This would bring down the cost of real food and probably allow people to eat healthier.

First, name one bank that is not willing to provide you service if you don't have a smartphone. Even if you do find it, ask yourself if this is the type of bank that you really want to work with.

Second, how was it that banks managed to operate for centuries and now there is the idea that people simply can not live without a mobile banking app?

Third, minority rule[0]: the best way to make sure that we can see apps being develop for other platforms (not just KaiOS, but Linux devices and even ungoogled AOSP-based systems) is for us to cultivate the intolerant minorities who simply will refuse to run iOS/Android.

The most damage Twitter does isn't even Twitters fault. Journalist f-ing love Twitter and believe that everything important is on Twitter, and everything on Twitter is important. News media is becoming the weird echo chamber of journalist talking to journalists, press people and analysts on Twitter and reporting on their Twitter conversations.

Some stories are completely missed, due to not being Twitter friendly (to many words, hard to boil down to a tweet). Other non-stories are blow out of proportions because it was big on Twitter, even if no one outside Twitter cares.

Not that misleading. If you zoom out 5 years or more, you'll note increased slope of the CPI index over the past couple of years.

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CPIAUCSL

It's fair to say that inflation has been at an accelerated rate over a time period that makes sense to most folks. Saying that it has decreased month-to-month is more misleading in my opinion. If you were to pick any random period in time, chances are inflation wouldn't be increasing as fast as it has been over those recent "declining" months.
