I'm surprised that Logitech isn't already shilling Bitcoin Mining Heated Gaming Chairs and Ergonomic Crypto Mice and Mechanical Hashing Keyboards and Bluetooth NFT Whoopee Cushions (every time you sit on it, it mints a fresh NFT for each farting sound it emits, and automatically posts it to your twitter feed).
Yep. But as I said, California CCPA is more or less equivalent to GDPR, so even this might not be enough.

Yes. It's called word-of-mouth and it is how it has always been done.

Good. If it is a shopping or some other service that charges money, then they lose business.

If it is some service that you have no choice but to use, but relies on network effects (like Facebook Events), then you can just send a screenshot to the interested party and they Might consider not using a service that is broken for other people.

Terrible analogy. Road cyclist time trial speed tops out around 32-33 mph, and the top cyclists can sustain that for about 30-45 minutes.

This is the attitude that makes fraud so easy.

This is like saying, who gives a shit if the NYSE is minting and selling stocks? Anyone with an IRA or a 401K should.

I love how people having opinions is literally considered "the thought police" nowadays.
It could be a loss leader. I strongly believe that Reddit's biggest value proposition is that the site can be used to shape public opinion. This is hard to directly monetize, but I sense that the content that makes its way to the frontpage is rife with manipulation.

However, there is also a possibility that they are specifically looking for advertisers who are unabashedly conservative/on the right. I can easily see businesses branding themselves as the conservative alternative to [xyz]. A great example is MyPillow and Black Rifle Coffee. (Although B.R.C. has fallen out of favor lately).
I am not surprised by either! But, in both cases, the US has played an extremely aggressive role in generating the circumstances.

But money is time. If my employer feels strongly enough about getting something finished tonight, they’ll have to pay for it (e.g. paid overtime). This naturally limits how much overtime your company would like you to do, and puts some backpressure one those managers burning through budget like there is no tomorrow.

Because of the housing cost crisis, I'd guess the majority of people currently of child-bearing age will simply miss the chance to have children at all if they put it off until they have a nice, stable home with decent healthcare and education.

They will not get that until their 40s or later, if ever, by which point the wife will have reached the end of their viable child-bearing years, probably with some panic and grief if they waited.

Did your wife and you discuss before marriage whether you would skip having kids entirely if you didn't achieve your financial ambitions in time, or were you able to assume you would?

As much as possible, people should decide what to do with their dollars.

> The problem with voting with your dollars is that people with more dollars get more votes.

Eh, the biggest and most successful companies on the planet cater to mass markets. The system seems to work fairly well for average people. (And we all suspect the most important politicians cater to tiny elites.) Also, using your dollars to vote means you lose those dollars. So rich people can vote each dollar only once, just like everyone else.
I find ‘heterodox blogger’ to be one of the more annoying business personas.

When I had to work at IBM in the early 2000s because of an acquisition, we met a lot of ‘corporate edgelords’ whose personal brand was built on eloquently explaining to IBM audiences how every cloud computing innovation coming out of West Coast tech companies already existed on the mainframe since the 1970s, and was therefore stupid to invest in. Their big closer was usually some version of how ‘Silicon Valley is so far behind IBM they think they’re ahead’.

These were the same guys who ran Lotus Domino in their home lab for fun because gmail was stupid.

Very tedious.
According to the department of labor's bureau of labor statistics, it is the opposite of what you said.

From 2000 to 2020, the labor participation for men from 20 to 44 has fallen. Labor participation for men 45 to 54 varies from flat to down. The labor participation rate for men 55 and older has risen. Working age men are less employed than they were, retirement age men are more employed than they were.

This is standard Marxism. For example, from the Communist Manifesto:

> From the moment when labour can no longer be converted into capital, money, or rent, into a social power capable of being monopolised, i.e., from the moment when individual property can no longer be transformed into bourgeois property, into capital, from that moment, you say, individuality vanishes.

> You must, therefore, confess that by “individual” you mean no other person than the bourgeois, than the middle-class owner of property. This person must, indeed, be swept out of the way, and made impossible.

> Communism deprives no man of the power to appropriate the products of society; all that it does is to deprive him of the power to subjugate the labour of others by means of such appropriations.
I also played it on PC, but remember even at the time the low resolution backgrounds looking horrendous and taking a lot away from the experience. You had insanely low polygon, untextured characters rendered at full monitor resolution, composited on backgrounds pre-rendered at 320x240 for TVs. So the graphics were made up of two drastically different elements each with distinct, critical issues.
The antidote seems to be taking the long view. Minsky moments in finance would have been diminished if CEOs of banks were compensated based upon the status of the firm in 10 years or if their estates' incentives were aligned with the state of the bank in 20 or even 100 years.

VC presumably can structure their compensation paradigms similarly. Thus, minimizing the probability of ruin becomes a more rational choice.
I'm not sure about drawing things on screen, actually. There are still tools similar to QBasic: Processing and Python's turtle module, in particular.

I still think WordPress is great (far better than those other options in the space), I just think Laravel was what PHP needed to legitimize it to developers. You can build anything with Laravel as a framework, it's great.
OK, interesting find!
I share with the author of the article the need for a standard format for presentation-independent structured multimedia content, and that html+js+css is now too complex for this purpose.

But I think that such a format should keep rich text separate from structure, in the same way that CSS keeps style separate from content. Content structure in a web environment is inherently complex, so there should be a standardized way to link markdown-style simple "pages" that have linear or shallow tree structures, to build the superstructure of a complete web site.

In my opinion that lack of a specific format for structure is what is limiting the growth of common tools for rich content. Wikis are the only example I know of an attempt to create such a format, but it works by having basically no structure, just uniquely named pages and hyperlinks between them.

You've never spent much time around lower IQ people, I take it. The type of people who drive trucks, or bag groceries, and will never be able to do more than that. Good people, most of them, of course. But allergic to logical, deliberate thought, and barely capable of it when they try. Not everyone can do basic math, and many of those who can't, have no problem booking a hotel.

These CAPTCHAs require more thought than the platform otherwise does, therefore it will gate some people from using the platform.
"All things use electricity!" isn't a great critique of "Bitcoin is an inefficient use of electricity". Bitcoin is designed to be inefficient and get worse over time.
The sidewalks on either side are a bad place for cyclists for this reason. They are banned from sidewalks in many places for the safety of the cyclist, not so much the pedestrians.
Social Media has turned into one of humanities worst creations. I don't understand how any developer can work in that industry with a clear conscience. It is ethically and morally bankrupt.

IMO you would be doing less damage to society if you worked in the Military Industrial Complex, at least you were being honest about what you're working on.
I work with PEGs every working day of my life. When I saw your example, it immediately gave me a chuckle, so thank you for that.

Does that mean I'd spot the same gotcha deep in some grammar I was working on? No of course not, that would never happen. It's going to be some other mistake that makes me feel like an idiot after staring at the screen for several hours.

Parsers are designed around data, not conundrums. For structured languages, PEGs are a sharp and simple tool for slicing them up. But they're not great at solving the Liar's Paradox.

Three elements in a relationship are: passion, commitment and emotional intimacy. You can have the last two and not have the first and if those things are highly developed then there doesn't have to be a conflict over loving other people also. My wife is by no means "just another girlfriend" but I can say the stress over mismatched libido that existed for a long time was much worse than any stress that comes out of having metamours.

Not even classical one-sided economic schools like "Keynesian" are as absolute as you pose it here.

Inflation, nor deflation are bad. Too much of any is. The common consensus is that the scales, on average, should lean a little towards inflation. But only a little. And not always.
The IT hardware industry has been deflating for, what, half a century now (Moore's law).? Yet nothing bad happened.
> It also makes me think if OSS is created solely to promote profit margins, is that really good OSS, or just a tactic to wrap strategy in a thin veneer of altruism?

Is that not a false dichotomy?

Kubernetes could promote profit margins for Google whilst simultaneously being good for OSS.

Sure, if Kubernetes was touted purely as being about what's good for OSS, then that would be disingenuous. But throughout the documentary they allude to Google wanting to look after its bottom line.

So for me personally, I think that the quoted passage above (and several other parts of the write-up) are a tad biased.

Interesting read nonetheless.

Its just a very bad and uneducated stand from some person.

I'm running a small k8s instance at home, for a small startup and at my job in a big version.

Abstraction of VMs is a real benefit: Have you ever had to restart a VM because of some security issues? Yes? Were you worried that your server comes up again?

With k8s, you know that 1. its cloud native to a certain extend. It will come up again because it came up before. 2. you have more nodes available. Either to surge or because you have more than just one node running.

Your pod will be scheduled away from your node, thats it.

you have a very stable and smart abstraction layer for sooo many features you get as soon as you configure them ONCE centrally:

- LoadBalancing

- certificate management

- Volume abstraction -> making snapshots from your PV? yes!

- Rollout strategies

- health checks (readiness and liveness probes)

- declaritive style (setup a prometheus, every service can be autoscraped due to convetion over configuration)

- Certified opensource abstraction layer! (get yourself a certified k8s distribution and stop worrying about vendor lock in)

- Unified setup for plenty of apps (monitoring, logging, app store, tracing, storage systems, iam etc. etc. etc.) We had deb before and rpm and whatnot. Now you have a helm chart for a certified k8s platform)

- Already quite small -> there is k3s. ubuntu supports it also with not that much overhead

- IaC as first class citizen. Due to k8s being declarative, IaC is much easier than it was before.

- FOSS

- Central easy policy implementation and management. Write your central policies, allow your teams to manage their own namespace and make sure to allow only certain registries etc.

- ArgoCD / GitOps (a dream come true srsly!)

I cant understate how much i love k8s and how much better it is then everything i have seen before. This is the main reason why i even spend the time writing here because that çritical review' is just utterly bullshit.

Did we had similiar things somehow before? yes. So whats new on k8s? K8s unites across companies and just drives this further. For me k8s is the winner of this race which happened in parallel (mesos, docker, nomad etc. etc.)
OK, so I'm trying out maven central as people in this thread are recommending. As an example, I'm searching for a command line argument parser.

The first thing I'm noticing is that there seems to be no way to judge the popularity of the libaries (an often-used proxy for quality, e.g. number of downloads, GitHub stars, etc).

I enter "argparse" and the first hit isn't even Java! It seems to be a npm package?? https://search.maven.org/artifact/org.webjars.npm/argparse

I enter "argument parser" and there are two hits. One with zero stars on Github and one with 1 star.

https://search.maven.org/artifact/com.github.easy-develop/ar...

https://search.maven.org/artifact/com.github.raphcal/argumen...

"command line" brings up another 0 star option: https://github.com/AlmondBranch/command-line-parser

I suppose the Java package ecosystem must be good if everyone says it is, but so far it looks to me like I'd find Maven Central very inefficient to discover high quality packages.
The idea that more efficient mining chips will reduce Bitcoin's energy consumption is just wrong. Miners will just buy and use that new chip for as long as the value of the block reward exceeds the energy cost for mining it.

The mining network should always converge to an equilibrium where X$ worth of electricity is consumed for producing (a little more than) X$ worth of BTC, no matter how efficient mining chips are.

Personally I feel that Bitcoin miners are being unfairly targeted whereas the real issue is unclean energy production. Bitcoin is an easy target because a lot of people believe it is overvalued or worthless which gives rise to arguments such as "Bitcoin mining is unnecessarily wasteful".
> Studies show that the strongest influence on kids are their peers.

Could you please share? The ones I'm finding say that parents are the strongest influence [1] [2] [3] [4].

> Permissive parenting that treats kids like little adults and over-emphasizes cultivation of their individual relationships and preferences does them a disservice.

Parenting that attempts to "carefully control" interactions until their 25th birthday seems like a disservice of equal size. I met some of these kids when I got to University. They didn't fare very well without their parents to control everything. As with most things, the answer is likely in the middle.

Not necessarily anything new, but I've been looking for a clean and simple todo / project planning web application for an affordable price and ideally e2e encrypted.
From what I've seen most solutions that look appealing are focused on teams and have set their pricing accordingly.
I just need a todo app that goes a little further with a kanban board, sprints.
Full e2ee would be the cherry on top.

Due to how polarizing the founding team is, it seems to me like this is a major attempt at a niche social network.

Previously, the social network playbook has been to try to capture as much of the population as possible, but I’m sure that Trump knows a large chunk of the population will never support or join the platform.

I've wanted to build this for a while: favicon/icon as a service. Enter a domain, and get back an icon to represent the site. Could be a favicon, or a high-res application icon captured from meta tags. There are solutions to this now, but none of them are rock solid. You will end up pulling a hero image for twitter half the time. Params could include the size icon you are looking for, a good fallback, etc.

Imagine a product that deals with domains. You might want to show icons next to each domain in your product. You can build this yourself, as many do, but I think there is room for a "gravatar" style API that does this
Banning it straight away or not allowing them on at all gives them more power, you just have to wait for them to skirt a rule and you can blame them for their own banning.

I presume they've made the same mistake as that other one did, building on centralized infrastructure so they'll probably end up getting banned from AWS too.
