In that case it is interesting that the law does not mandate this.

In France you get a paper with the name of the company and the dates of your employment. This is the only information a company can provide, and confirm when requested.

The concept of referrals does not exist in practical terms (I had to give some once for an American company and gave good friends who said I was wonderful) - because they would not work.

All this is closely regulated by law.
This does sound interesting. Regarding the idea of constantly updating dependencies automatically, I've heard of Dependabot, and haven't used it much myself, but isn't there a danger with an automatic update breaking things in production without supervision?

I'd guess I'm missing something in that question?
They definitely can sometimes protect absurd things, but it sure looks like the exercycle with video screen horse has left the barn, gone over the hill, and is running well into the next state...

Just DDG or Google ""exercycle with video screen", and dozens come up, with the largest brands, NordicTrak, Schwinn, Echelon, Proform, etc., and there's reviews of "Exercise Bikes With Video Screen Compared" [0]. It's just too broad and obvious a concept at this point. Not that they might not squander piles of money trying, but unlikely to succeed in any meaningful way.

But if someone wants to verify your role (which sounds reasonable), contacts Apple and they say you were an associate while you said you were a senior, that's gonna cause problems. And apparently is.

> The only way to do analytics in a way that's respectful to the visitors' privacy is with an installable on-host software. That's it.

This is an argument taken to a naive extreme. You can't expect every business to also be in the business of analytics, it's not realistic. There's a reason companies have business partners who specialize in certain services.

It's why you have accountants, lawyers, marketers, etc.. Not every company can afford to have all these specialists on payroll, so you work with a service provider that lets you afford the services in a fractional way. You give them access to your data, including customer data sometimes, and in return they provide you with insights and information from that data.

Analytics is just another service provider like that.

You should of course work with a reliable and trusted partner that treats your customer data appropriately and has strong privacy guarantees.

The problem with GA is not "third party", it's "third party that uses my data for its own purposes" because that's the actual cost of using a free service.

Saying "no third parties at all" is not how businesses have operated since forever.
>all numbers are imaginary.... mathematics is an accumulated edifice of metaphors designed by human brains

Or you can say they exist but in a different way to physical reality.

I mean pi probably still was 3.14159... before humans evolved so it's not our fault really.

Personally I think maths not only exists but physical reality is a subset. I mean why else is there something rather than nothing? Scientifically it's the only hypothesis that works for that really.
Whoop whoop, this is the flamewar alarm. I go off whenever a flamewar approacheth.

(More seriously, it's an interesting problem how to deal with threads like this. It seems almost deterministic based on a comment's initial wording. I guess the only effective approach is manual moderation, but I can't help but wonder if it'll be the same solution in 200 years.)
> Because people have money, they want to buy cars, and houses and furniture etc. Why do you want to ignore car prices?

In a functioning economy the supply of cars, houses, and furniture etc. would rise to meet the demand preventing a price increase. But they can't due to chip shortages, labor issues, and other assorted supply chain issues. It's a different problem than inflation and requires different solutions.

It also contradicts the "If you didn't get a 7.5% raise you got a paycut" narrative because it's very dependent on what you bought. If you're trying to buy a house, put furniture in it, and get a new to you used car then things got way more expensive. If you already had those things then it didn't.

I use it with lisp-like languages (Clojure, Janet). Those have html libraries that transform datastructures into html.

Constraint engineering:
You mitigated the money supply constraint. If Supply Chain is the new constrain as you posit, it means structurally, the infra we've got is breaking down, and that money should be re-settling in tooling or re-establishment of manufacturing/factories to mitigate the unreliable supply chain.

In order for that to take place, we need a prioritized list of what goods can be focused on economically. Then we need to get people organized and hop to it. That isn't happening. Either because investors are to squeamidh to take a risk, or Execs aren't popping up with ideas for execution to get invested. Execs aren't starting businesses, because that takes significant capital and stability from which to embark on the journey of fund raising from. Increasingly, that gets further and further out of reach as people don't get paid enough/the right experience to build up the springboard to jump off of, or even if they do the list for industrial sectors without value deserts is shrinking due to hyperoptimization fueled my mergers and acquisitions combined with an optimization to minimize worker pay, silo people, and an increased tendency to poach advice only from an entrenched "management" class.

I mean, none of these problems seem terribly obscure or hard to reach from my perspective. Capital is increasingly centralized, and if you've got international players not playing nice enough to keep JIT feasible, you have to go old school.

That might be a good thing. New data centers would be constructed in France and the french people would have more jobs. It’d also be a national security boost because France would be less reliant on external data centre providers.
We can't print our way to collective wealth, but we can't not-print our way out of overcapacity ports and shutdowns in China. Abstinence isn't magic.
Cars and trucks + gasoline + other oil products + meat make up 70% of the excess inflation we're seeing. Cars have a specific and well-defined supply chain issue (semiconductor unavailability) that we believe will resolve eventually. Meat prices seem to be dropping. And energy prices are only high in a relative sense: WTI crude is cheaper now than it was in most of the period 2007-2014 [1].

Housing is flat?! That does not seem to track with the real world.
> caused by the money supply rather than the extremely visible effects of the broken supply chain

Supply chains disruptions are a core feature of monetary inflation, and they always have been.

When you adjust the price of money (interest) to where it is more affordable to pull future consumption into the present, one day the future becomes the present. And that is a future where there is a shortage: the hardworking ants eventually do get the better of the summer grasshopper.

That it need be said, but this current supply shock was predicted by everyone not enthralled to Keynesian policy prescriptions. The 1970s saw similar supply shocks and inflation, caused by (1) the Nixonian debasing of the monetary system in throwing off the last vestiges of the gold standard, and (2) various incompetences of spending and energy policy failure in the Carter administration.

This is what happens when you think there's a centrally planned "natural" rate of interest for the economy, and don't allow interest rates to be accurately priced on a per-instrument / sector / commodity basis.
> Because advertising is manufactured demand.

I see advertising radically different.

People exhibit an spectrum of interest in products in the market, from “zero interest in buying” to “shut up and take my money”. Advertising works by convincing people close to the “shut up and take my money” part of the spectrum to actually buy.

Depends on your risk tolerance. At a bare minimum you should have tests as part of your project and CI for detecting breaking changes from version bumps, with validating deploys to dev environments, and possibly human review of changes before deploys to prod.
I think this is just poor phrasing on my part since mobile was top of mind. I'd like to see this work with any native UI that supports an online feature set.

I'd like to see the technology work with HTML or server driven native UI, and let developers decide which UI toolkit is best for their app market.

Since it would theoretically support both, you could incrementally transition as well.
This was my first thought. Apple is notoriously secretive, even internally. They likely see this as a way to prevent folks from reverse engineering through job titles what former employees were working on. (Agreed that it's super shitty and likely overkill, but I think this is a better explanation than outright trying to screw former employees.)

In this case, though, why not replace the job title with "Employee"?
I'll also say, one of the key lifts for LiveView is specifically (unsurprisingly) live updates. That is, server pushes.

Websockets don't really make sense to use as a broad bidirectional communication tool; they're overly complicated for situations you can just open a plain TCP socket to communicate over, and making them a requirement for clients that have no need of them is a poor ask. So as soon as you're supporting a client other than a browser, while still supporting a browser, you already are going to likely want to support two APIs.

Good design will allow you to share your model for bidirectional communication regardless of the connection type, and you can then bake in any updating JS into the Websocket connection via LiveView or similar, while exposing a more normalized socket endpoint for other servers, mobile clients, etc. Even if you end up having to support multiple connection assumptions at a later point (i.e., a Websocket connection for your web client that contains JS, a Websocket connection for a web client being developed by a different team that should just return data, and a plain socket connection for non-browser based connections), the lift should be pretty small.
What is your source? From the article:

“ The burst in inflation has muted the sizeable earnings growth workers have seen. Real average hourly earnings rose just 0.1% for the month, as the 0.7% monthly gain in wages was almost completely wiped out by the 0.6% inflation gain.”
>> It feels like I’ve been hearing that this is transitory, there was nothing to worry about.

Please do understand that probably half the US and much of the world live paycheck to paycheck. They consume everything they earn and zero out at the end of the month. A 7.5% increase in costs isnt necessarily matched by an increase in pay...so that means a lot of pain.

I realize that as technologists, many of us barely consume everything we earn because many of us earn way above average, but that isnt the average reality for people.
I suspect they must have thought of that by now. The return times are sub microsecond so a lot of flashes can fit in one frame time.

Plus a lot of the time they're scanning one point at a time, so it's not likely two cars will scan exactly the same point very often, and when they do you can just filter it out by discarding outliers.
Hypotheses: wage growth and inflation (ignoring monetary policy for the moment) are if not the same thing, tightly coupled.

The effects of anti-inflation policy since the 1980s have been a major component of flat wages since then.
Thanks again for participating in the Universal App Quick Start Program.

We heard your feedback regarding the 200 USD appreciation credit mentioned in our last email. Our intention was to recognize the tremendous effort that you have put into creating amazing universal apps. By partnering with us early, you showed your commitment to our platform and a willingness to be trailblazers.

So instead of the 200 USD credit that expires in May, we are giving you a 500 USD Apple credit and extending the time you can use it to get a new M1 Mac through the end of the year.

The issue would be, that the website developers / their management contributes to the issue, by enabling partier to do that spying. If no data was send to another party, then spying on that data is much harder and probably unattractive for most use-cases. GA data becomes valuable through collecting from many many senders.

While the people doing the spying are already doing something ethically very questionable, the person deciding what data is collected on a webservice can still make the decision to contribute to the problem, or be vigilant about data protection.
The concept of "continuous work" or employment is really that of an ongoing payment structure. The concept of weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly settlement is an artifact of the time when payments weren't automatic. Send an invoice, wait for post, open envelope, send a check, wait for post, open envelope, send to bank, wait for post, open envelope, send to other bank, wait for post, open envelope, is why we have such concepts as Net 30 terms.

Ongoing business relationships where you are paid flat x per y unit of time (monthly service charges, salaries, etc) can be easily modernized to minimize the amount and the duration of being out of settlement sync. It's not a matter of getting your paycheck a few days sooner, it's that for the vast majority of the time you are working, your employer has some amount of money that belongs to you, simply because settlement was a manual, human process until recently. We can settle every minute now because we have machines.

This is sort of like saying that APIs are not useful because you can just wait to the end of the week to get your email in a big batch. Your personal income or your business revenue is much more important than email.

Across the entire economy this is a massive amount of interest that goes to employers instead of employees, customers instead of vendors. It's not really theirs.

Additionally, interval-based settlement doesn't fix the other bug in the system I mentioned: annual manual algorithm-based adjustment.

Any time you have a human manually calculating an algorithm every x months, it seems to me it would benefit everyone in society to have machines do that every x milliseconds instead.
If you think this is the same as "old html and php again" then you haven't understood the article.
I think it's a valid concern for everyone, yes.
In general, under the GDPR it doesn't matter much whether you process data yourself on your own server or contract that same task out to a third-party. Either that processing is legal or it isn't - ownership of the server doesn't play a role.

The problem with Google Analytics here is not that it's a third-party but that it's under US control.
It's not a deflection. I'm saying the whole thing is a disaster. Crypto and NFTs are just the surface and are quite rightly causing people to question the meaning of it all. But if you dig a little deeper you'll find it's just an extension of what's been going on for a long time behind closed doors.

I thoroughly recommend the book Other People's Money by John Kay. In it he reminds us what the actual value of the financial system is and talks about what it has become. Bitcoin was an attempt to get the actual value of cash (just one facets of finance) without paying tax (interest) to the banks.
I think we (in the EU) will soon realise the bizarre consequences of these regulations. European startups will not be able to use standard SaaS or PaaS tools (like AWS, Azure, Mailchimp, PayPal etc) if they are based in the US (like most of them are). No cloud services, no Office 365 or Google Workspace.

It will take forever to build up a similar ecosystem in Europe and I think most successful European entrepreneurs will just end up starting companies in the US instead.

There must be some reasonable middle ground before we fragment and destroy the entire Internet. Why not start by making a general exception for temporary storage of less sensitive data like IP-addresses for efficiently and cost effectively delivering a web service.

If there is one thing they could start looking in to it would be handling of personal information by governmental organisations. I work a little bit with a few municipalities, and the number of documents with deeply personal information that are just emailed around over unencrypted email is shocking.
It looks like self-hosting Posthog (https://posthog.com/) should work, and they look great.

A "culture of approvals" is one root cause of this situation. Something needs to be done, but instead of doing it an engineer asks someone else for approval and doesn't receive it. Healthy teams don't work that way.

In a healthy team, engineers are responsible for the health of the system.

In a healthy team, engineers make decisions about non-product-feature related work, including tech debt. Product managers decide the relative priority of product changes. Engineering managers (who must be just as technical as the engineers on their team) make schedule decisions, balancing the health of the code base and the product needs.

Not necessarily, it could also be a red queen's race. But that also is a net-negative since money gets spent on advertising instead of passing the savings through to the consumer.

Solution to what?

The only problem that I see is that it's hard(er) for US companies to collect data about EU customers. That's hardly a problem for the EU customers; they can just buy from EU importers (if there's no equivalent EU product) or rely on EU service providers.

I don't really see a problem.
You could have five exactly rock-shaped holes in the ground, and by adding seven rocks, only two remain above the surface.
There is also a bundle of clever implementation which means the templates are aware of what parts are static and what parts are dynamic. So they can send optimized changes, essentially small diffs, for the dynamic parts as they change. Often this means only sending the values for your text input field, not any of the markup for the field.

What finally made imaginary numbers intuitively make sense to me is realizing that the number i just represents a 90 degree rotation on the complex plane. That's why i*i = -1 (it's rotating 180 degrees), why imaginary numbers are orthogonal to real numbers, why e^ix = cos(x) + i*sin(x) makes sense, everything.

When you are dealing with 2 dimensions, complex numbers are a kind of hack for representing both dimensions without any kind of vectors or pairs or anything, just numbers.
