However, I think Grist looks like a great project and I can see they are reading the comments here. They might appreciate the feedback and it might not be hard to act on it.

Plus, they might be small enough to fly under the CCPA radar for now, but I suspect privacy matters to many people inside the USA too.

I had an uncle who worked on a rural independent regional bank. While this was a while ago, the bank could and would use a variety of factors including references, propensity towards substance issues and others to make a loan.

I wouldn’t doubt that if you sat down, and created a data set/data collection scheme to gather this data you could make an algorithm to closely mirror the outcomes of a loan decision. However as a human, the loan officer might simply add a new criteria as desired.
You’re not wrong, but how does an app cover operating costs?
Emacs Org Babel is amazing! I also was practicing awk examples from The AWK Programming Book few years back in a similar fashion: https://scripter.co/notes/awk/.

And it's not just awk, there are Org Babel packages available for virtually all the languages!

TLDR: It hypothesizes that gut bacteria "do nothing" other than crowd out bad bacteria, which is extremely valuable in its own right.

It's a good read about a valuable concept, never mind that I don't agree on the basic premise that gut bacteria "do nothing."

It doesn't even have to be one match. I've been using Hinge lately and I found that I get much higher quality matches on there, conversation starts with almost everyone, and I found I can "convert" a conversation into a date much easier on there.

One design decision they made, as opposed to Bumble or Tinder is there's no "swiping", you actually have to go into a profile and like something there. This means more people spend time on your profile, and the folks that actually have liked you back have taken more than just a cursory look at the profile.
I'll have a look a the book. Thanks!

I do believe we have found the root cause
Would a "tax on bad decisions made by company & company's tools" be appropriate in the 21st century? I don't think you can sue an algorithm these days, but having the legal step to say that "whatever a company's tool decides, the company has also (legally) decided" would help solve many of these problems. You'd have to run these by legal before shipping.
You do realize there is a lot of C code out there which has nothing to do with UNIX. Although I do remember when you once claimed C requires UNIX like OS to run. :)
>This sounds a bit arrogant.

The parent thread talks about how the business could not go down even with a triple AZ outage for S3, and I don't think it is arrogant to state they should be paying for enterprise support if that level of expectation is set.

>I think they found better and overall cheaper solution.

Cheaper solution does not just include the cost but also the time. For the time we need to look at the time they spent regardless of department to acquire, migrate off of AWS, modifying the code to work for their multi-private cloud, etc. I'd believe it if they're willing to say they did this, have been running for three years, and compiled the numbers in excel. It is common if you ask internally was it worth it to get a yes because people put their careers on it and want to have a "successful" project.

The math doesn't work out in my experiences with clients in the past. The scenarios that work out are, top 30 in the enitre tech industry, significant GPU training, egress bandwidth (CDN, video, assets), or business that are selling basically the infrastructure (think Dropbox, Backblaze, etc.).

I'm sure someone will throw down some post where their cost, $x is less than $y at AWS, but that is such a tiny portion that if the cost is not >50% it isn't even worth looking at the rest of the math. The absolute total cost of ownership is much harder than most clickbait articles are willing to go into. I have not seen any developers talk about how it changes the income statement & balance sheet which can affect total net income and how much the company will lose just to taxes. One argument assumes that it evens out after the full amortization period in the end.

Here are just a handful of factors that get overlooked, supply chain delays, migration time, access to expertise, retaining staff, churn increase due to pager/call rotation, opportunity cost of to capital being in idle/spare inventory and plenty more.
Worked on a team at BofA, our application would handle 800 million events per day. The logic we had for retry and failure was solid. We also had redundancy across multiple DCs. I think we processed like 99.9999999% of all events successfully. (Basically all of them, last year we lost about 2,000 events total) I didn’t find it very stressful at all. We build in JMX Utica for our production support teams be able to handle practically anything they would need to.
I think I understand what you mean, but it’s hard for me to contextualize, because I’m still working through some of my own past to identify where some of my burn out began.

For my part, I love working at global scale on highly distributed systems, and find deep enjoyment in diving into the complexity that brings with it. What I didn’t enjoy was dealing with unrealistic expectations from management, mostly management outside my chain, for what the operations team I led should be responsible for. This culminated in an incident I won’t detail, but suffice to say I hadn’t left the office in more than 72 hours continuous, and the aftermath was I stopped giving a shit about what anyone other than my direct supervisor and my team thought about my work.

It’s not limited to operations or large systems, but every /job/ dissatisfaction I’ve had has been in retrospect caused by a disconnect between what I’m being held accountable for vs what I have control over. As long as I have control over what I’m responsible for, the complexity of the technology is a cakewalk in comparison to dealing with the people in the organization.

Now I’ve since switched careers to PM and I’ve literally taken on the role of doing things and being held responsible for things I have no control over and getting them done through influencing people rather than via direct effort. Pretty much the exact thing that made my life hell as an engineer is now my primary job.

Making that change made me realize a few things that helped actually ease my burn out and excite me again. Firstly, the system mostly reflects the organization rather than the organization reflecting the system. Secondly, the entire cultural balance in an organization is different for engineers vs managers, which has far-reaching consequences for WLB, QoL, and generally the quality of work. Finally, I realized that if you express yourself well you can set boundaries in any healthy organization which allows you to exert a sliding scale of control vs responsibility which is reasonable.

My #1 recommendation for you OP is to take all of your PTO yearly, and if you find work intruding into your time off realize you’re not part of a healthy organization and leave for greener pastures. Along the way, start taking therapy because it’s important to talk through this stuff and it’s really hard to find people who can understand your emotional context who aren’t mired in the same situation. Most engineers working on large scale systems I know are borderline alcoholics (myself too back then), and that’s not a healthy or sustainable coping strategy. Therapy can be massively helpful, including in empowering you to quit your job and go elsewhere.

I don't think UBI implements a particularly good safety net without other measures - at the very least open education at all levels, open healthcare, open culture, open media, and open democracy.

But if you're implying that money exists to force people to work I'd consider the possibility that you're describing what is essentially a form of slavery. Or at least extreme political control.

It stops being slavery when people are free to choose what to do with their talents, abilities, ambitions, and interests, and when job markets value that contribution instead of - quite literally - attempting to minimise its value.

The fundamental difference is between finding and promoting people who are good at inventing and organising the future, and finding and promoting people who are good at controlling everyone else's time for their own personal benefit.

The latter is what we have now, and it's showing very clear signs of making far less sense as a stable system with a future than some UBI-adjacent scheme would be.
This seems like such a thoughtless, knee jerk response to the points being made. You must not think that replacing a worker with a robot reduces inequality? That /employing/ is the same as /exploiting/ iff the employee is poor?

I mean inequality is a poor metric anyway. Absolute communism reduces inequality to zero, but it doesn't improve overall outcomes.

Most people in the game industry dont get this: games are, economically, startups (innovative high-growth product), they are not content - like movies. So you have a few killer games and armies of clones which often make their author poor or barely even.

In other words, if you are a game developper, you need to figure out why your product will be a high growth product. You should not treat it as an art exercise (if you wanna succeed economically).

For example, the art style of world of warcraft is not like it is because that was the art style of the art director (well it is but) they did it like this because they knew this was the kind of art that is needed for a high growth product. Everything in world of warcraft (its just an example) has been done to reach high growth, they werent doing an art exercise that happen to be successful. Its a mindset most game developers wont ever get.

Of course you can do art exercises and be lucky. Just be conscious youre playing at the lotery though.

Are the notes and highlights stored in the PDF? Asking because I use Zotero in several machines and I need annotations and highlights to be synchronized without much hassle.

Zotero is quite close to provide a PDF reader itself (available in the Beta release, AFAIK), but nice to see alternatives with academic documents in mind.
To me there's a difference between RCE and Zero click.

RCE occurs on a system with a listening daemon/service (e.g. web, SQL, DNS SSH).

Zero-click describes an issue on a client system where usually a user would have to click something to trigger it, but doesn't as parsing/processing happens before the user actually sees anything (e.g. via an SMS on a phone).
If you can’t tell, then you can’t tell. It’s not for everyone to get it. If you want a hint, read the whole thing. The whole thing pisses off who? Not me, I’m not his parents. Not you, you ain’t his parents. Not his boss, they ain’t his parents.

And then finally read the last sentence or two, ‘my parents are very upset’.

If you can’t tell, then you can’t tell.

However it's also all "Facebook"

They never named their things and it become a ubiquitous blob (I swear they had a dating site but I looked and couldn't find it)

Their only UI is hidden behind the status landing page.

They could have made sperate websites with branding "by Facebook" redirected users to those new sites from the main page/menu.
Instead it's completely. Monolayer/single stack.
Not to say "this is wrong" (clearly it made many people lots of money up to this point, now those returns appear to be slowing)

The landing page is full of things to look at, but hard to "find the thing I want to do". In this sense splitting the main app and chat made a lot of sense (primary entry point is app launcher on the phone).

What it really needed was a way to organize the landing page around product listings. Ie: a second desktop. (This could already happen on users phones, though I suspect most people weren't based on what I've observed on family and friends)
I cannot help being underwhelmed by papers on the so-called 'microbiome.' Very seldom is it something more complex than proportion/prevalence of species X correlates with behavior/health outcome Y. Simple correlations with all sorts of imaginable confounding variables that preclude causal explanations. Even in totally hypothesis-free, exploratory studies, almost all variation in species density over time gets explained by two or three PCA components, and gut bacterial populations seem to grow/shrink independently with respect to other populations. These dynamics, whatever they may be, are a far cry from such a lofty, puffed-up term like micro-'biome', where its use always signifies complex (and conveniently uncharacterized!) dynamics of bacterial species interacting with each other and the host.

That said, I don't find the author's framing of this particularly useful. If a theory is wrong, it will be wrong for factual, technical reasons. The extent to which some real phenomena can predict others is testable. Handwaving it away as social contagion, ideology, or mass hysteria --- not that those don't exist, medieval dance fever being my favorite example --- isn't good enough for me.
You also have to fix the vocations themselves with better workplace safety laws, non-discrimination, health care, retirement, safety net, unions. A trades person is exposed to high risk if something happens to their bodies and prevents them from working a full career, or there's a cyclic downturn in something like construction.
Not so all? Stuff is usually fixable.

Org and people are not.
In America, unscrupulous politicians explicitly target voters by demographics and fill the airwaves with propaganda aimed at steering the vote.

This leads to situations like celebrity endorsements, where huge swaths of under-informed voters are influenced simply by messaging.

The saving grace is the 'representative' form of government, where at least some sanity can be injected into the process.
At some point it was also used as a way to get a custom firmware onto a PSP.

Then modders somehow managed to update the batteries' firmware (cf "Pandora battery") and use that. Sony couldn’t patch it, and it was basically game over for them until they released a new generation of hardware, with motherboards immune to the trick.

Fun times.
> but everyone would think "Oh it's Facebook they'll get back in the game soon, better buy now"

Not everybody. I've been in the "Facebook is overvalued" camp for many years.

It has never been a forgone conclusion that Facebook is an institution that would be relevant for decades. Something its share price would suggest.

Its core product (high value & high volume groups to advertise too) can largely disappear within a year, and the only semi-effective coping mechanism it has displayed is buying new brands.
I’m curious why no one is bringing attention to political affiliation. These atrocities in US history are generally all linked with one party. (Another atrocity being slavery)

> The evidence does not suggest an average worker will drop out of the labor force when provided with unconditional cash

Ok, that's fair. So the average income earner won't stop working. But what about the bottom end of the spectrum i.e someone just above UBI but who has to get up early and travel two hours each way to get to work, or who is just working to put food on the table - with UBI they now have a great reason to stay home.

So... what happens if a good chunk of people earning just above UBI rates just stops working because it's just not worth the ROI. You've ended up creating a vacuum which has to be filled. And how do you fill it? Traditionally you either import cheap labor or raise pay to incentivise applicants. Congratulations, you've just started the inflation engine.
In all the situations i have had to work on microservices it generally means the team just works on all the different services, now spread out over more applications. Doing more integration work vs actual business logic. Because the fancy microservices the architect wanted doesn't mean there's actually money to do it properly or even have an ops team.

Also for junior team members a lot of this stuff works via magic because they can't yet oversee where the boundaries are or do not understand all the automagically configuration stuff.

Also the amount of works on my machine with docker is staggering even if the developers laptop's are the same batch / imaged machine.
If FB declines 7-8% more, it will have halved its market cap in 6 months, its a bit more than just a sector rotation regarding FB shares.

AAPL is 10% off it’s ATH, GOOG about 15% off it’s ATH, MSFT is 20% off it’s ATH. FB is doing far worse than other big tech.
> because it isn't something done to us, imposed from outside

You assumed it isn't still something being done to us, being imposed from the outside. I doubt that's right. It was a useful tool of power before, it probably still is. Why do you think it's produced by our own psycho-biology?

The thinking is probably that if you allow plurals and certain other verb forms to any significant degree you probably end up with a disproportionate number of trailing "S" letters--which would be less interesting.

The combination of five letters, the rules, and the number of guesses seem to calibrate the difficulty pretty well for me. Given enough time, I could probably solve most words eventually with just my brain. (In practice, I sometimes go to a dictionary program that's not wordle specific to tickle my brain once I know what I'm probably looking for.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niihau_incident

The narrative I’ve heard is that the Japanese internment was done solely due to racism. Yet, in the first incident where Japanese American citizens are confronted with the option of helping Japan or helping America, both Japanese Americans side with Japan.

This incident is suppressed as it doesn’t fit with the narrative that the internment was done solely due to racism. The Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles has a fantastic display on the internment camps, and yet doesn’t once mention the Nihau incident. However the museum spends many sections explaining how the internment was driven due to racist farmers wanting Japanese American farm land.

The plane from the incident was donated to a museum, and it appears that the late Senator Inouye prevented it from being displayed.

Yes the internment was a horrible event in American history, and we should all try to keep it from
happening again. But I’m disappointed when I repeatedly see evidence of the Niihau incident attempting to be erased from history because it doesn’t fit a narrative.
