What is the business model?

Regardless of your political opinions it is undeniable that advertising could associate you with some unpleasantness and while there are brands willing to do so, they have already seen business reputational damage by doing so.

They could try charging users directly, but that has struggled historically (particularly for social networks wherein the network effect is a key success metric).
I have always told friends and family to be prepared because you don't know what will come. Often I tell them this when their life and personal growth stagnates.

If you stagnate and spin your wheels, don't graduate college, you may miss that job opportunity at a dream company.

If you don't grow your career, don't earn what you are worth, you may miss out on your dream vacation or dream house.

Life is finite and it is entirely too easy to sit there a dink, smoke a joint, and do nothing. Existence wants us dead and it isn't until we push forward to bend it to our will that we can consider ourselves living. Nothing comes to those who wait except ruin.
The relationship has to come first. It precedes the marriage and family, and I think societal norms are to put the children and the piece of paper first.

It's a living thing that needs to be fed, and when times get tough what do people often do. Stop being kind to each other, stop having sex, building resentment and accelerating the decline.

The goal is not to keep it together at all costs. The goal is to live an authentic life, and if that is going to be with a partner, don't lose sight of that fact it's the two of you that's important, not all the other stuff that comes along.
And they come out even more ahead if they stop buying classroom supplies.

Citation needed. The website is still as horrific to use as in times past. It might not have outright malware anymore, but that doesn't make it less painful.
> I have very limited information about which items are a good value or high quality, so why should amazon have the tools to most effectively steer me towards high-margin items? They exist to provide us a service and we grant them the right to make a small % of profit while doing it. Not the other way around!

As a small aside, The capitalist's answer is that regulating companies to prevent them from steering to the most profitable items is both impossible to be adequately done and prohibitively costly. Even assuming cost isn't an issue, it's hard to imagine such regulation to be equally applied to all market participants (or to be equally effective). So we would be left with companies that cooperate and others that defect, and the defectors would be favored (more profitable) and outcompete the cooperators in the long run.

So instead we start from the assumption that companies are greedy and let them compete to offer customers the best value -- and if that value comes (at least in part) from not being tracked, companies that do not track will attract more customers. We probably just haven't made enough of a fuss about it with our dollar-votes.

For what it's worth, I block all ads without giving it a single thought. The way I think about it is that on the flip side of the prisoner's dilemma, I'm just defecting like some companies would. It's a race to the bottom in terms of the trust between customers and companies, but I didn't make the rules of the game...
I think if it didn't detract from normal expected functionality it would be fine, fun even.

The problem is when the expected behavior is supplanted by this arbitrary behavior that, for the record, doesn't work on mobile.
A. Not everyone you disagree with is a terrorist;

B. Trump is very critical of the FBI (Steele dossier, Page & Strzok) and would be loathe to attach his name to something FBI-related;

C. The FBI already did a honeypot for terrorists with the "ANOM Phone" running "ArcaneOS," which had hilarious psuedosecurity methods that actually convinced them.
In the meantime, the iPhone 6s, released more than three years before the Pixel 3, is still receiving updates.

If you buy an Android you already know the deal. It's not like they are stabbing you in the back.
> I've seen this sort of elitism in candidates and I've made the mistake of hiring them. It turns out they're just not very good at all, and they blame their failures on anything but themselves, stunting their self-growth professionally and interpersonally.

If this is a trend for you, you're probably a bad hirer and in a toxic environment!

This seems like reckoning with the Pareto principle and powering-through a wall after two applications of it.
I've had too many bikes stolen so my solution now is: I have two bikes.

I have rather expensive e-bike that I for the 20 mile per day commute and I keep it locked inside at both ends.

I also have a £50 (probably stolen) bike from Gumtree that I use to cycle to nearby shops and train stations. It makes a lot of noise and breaks quite often. I metaphorically duct tape it back together, but it doesn't matter because I never go more than a mile from home on it. I made it look intentionally shitty to try and stop it getting stolen. So far it's working...
I want one of these things So Much. Even better, I want a modern smart-phone that has a lighter built in! And I don't even smoke. I just think this is amazingly awesome and I want it. Plus it could be invaluable in a survival situation.

Maybe a smart-phone with a ferrcerium rod along one side? Or a magnesium case that you could scrape magnesium shavings from to use for fire-starting? Hmmm... the possibilities are endless.
"Substandard" is not the complement of "luxury". And nobody is saying that middle class people won't pay the extra cost of private bathrooms, clearly they are doing that. The point under discussion is if it's inhumane to give poor people free housing where they have to live like European middle class students and share bathrooms, and the answer is a very clear "no, it's not inhumane".
But BSTR, too, is a C construct.
> Jira makes it impossible for anyone to do anything

This is like arguing that pencils and paper are evil because Trello (or whatever) exists.

Jira is slow, but it's faster than what people did before it.

And I have efficiently built and shipped ~10 projects on Jira, so I know it's not that bad.

I use ClickUp now, and Jira is maybe 5-30 seconds slower per action than Jira. It adds up to, maybe, 30 min of saved time per day across my whole team.
Nothing taught me as much about API design and testing as Google's Guava. I know there are lots of minor gripes with that library, but is it so incredibly consistent. It is also amazing that no one mentioned the Java Collections (ArrayList, LinkedList, HashSet, HashMap, TreeSet, TreeMap). They are some of the highest quality generic collections that exist anywhere. (For C++, I would say the same about an STL implementation by a high quality project like VCC/GCC/Clang.) For "Java high honors", try to understand how concurrent collections work, e.g., ConcurrentHashMap!

For highly specialised containers, try: (1) https://labs.carrotsearch.com/hppc.html, (2) https://github.com/OpenHFT/Chronicle-Queue, and (3) https://github.com/LMAX-Exchange/disruptor

On one side there are the Kubernetes corporate enthusiasts that are probably exactly doing what this post i saying: try to remove the advantage that AWS has over all the other vendors. On the other, we are also plagued by AWS shills/fanbase that hate Kubernetes exactly because of that (they are trying to push you toward serverless with Lambda). In the middle ground there is probably the truth, where AWS had a programmatic API that enabled automation for years, and that Kubernetes *is* hip, it adds even more automation to the game and helps attracting/retaining talent in the current hot market. But technically you could totally have a working startup, mid-size or big company without using Kubernetes.
It’s a bit ironic that there’s a positive correlation between media that labels itself with “truth” in the name or title and misinformation.
I’m not sure what you are getting at. Who gives a shit about tether?
It is definitely true that NYC and LA are over-represented in American media.

Marx and Lenin wrote about the "idiocy of rural life" but there is an urban idiocy to go with it. Frequently you meet urban people who have no idea where wealth comes from, any more than you'd get an understanding of ecology from looking at a fish tank.

In New York it is a running gag that downstate black politicians are opposed to marijuana legalization because they think some of the business has to be "cut out" for black people because otherwise white people are going to sell all the weed, or that a city councilmember wants to see off-track betting subsidized (not even the racetrack!) to "save jobs".
Most software positions have a never ending backlog of work that can easily fill 40hrs of any week. Meaning a salary set at 40hrs/wk is pure downside to the work as your actual job expectations have a floor of 40hr weeks but sometimes 50-60hr+ weeks during crunch times.

It's essentially legalized wage theft.

Thankfully I get paid hourly, but still when I do overtime it's only paid at a x1 multiplier because the dinosaurs in office deemed 'computer workers' [1] are exempt from fair labor regulations. Likely, those in power guessed that they could safely chip away at more worker's rights because most of the voting base won't feel solidarity for highly paid salary positions and 'computer workers'.

Can you come up with a better solution?

Political ones have failed, since with national currencies we end up with inflation and spending the resources of the future (i.e. debt).

The decision to "suspend temporarily the convertibility of the dollar into gold" has lasted indefinitely. This means the government can print its own money with no accountability, until it acquires everything and everyone.

Have you looked into proof of stake? It is a pretty good contender, but is vulnerable to Sybil attacks in case of a network partition. With no objective way to tell legitimacy (like "work" that was wasted in proof-of-work), a network partition can not be resolved.

...Never before have I expected to hear anyone calling the person who proliferated nuclear secrets "principled".

Differences of opinion aside, you severely underestimate the character/circumstances/motives/number of "conscientious objectors" in society.
TBF, when you integrate ads, you also integrate all the dark patterns that the advertisers choose to use (unless the ad provider blocks them, but I wouldn't rely on that)
They don't need a business model. A social network encouraging, networking, and promoting the people that agree with them is a goal, not just a means.
Unfortunately I find it very easy to believe, just exceptionally disappointing.
Even then the talk is about a clusterfuck _within_ the code base and how it got fixed.

It clearly doesn't label the current state of the code base as a clusterfuck in general.
"Right of way" is the term for priority in the US, which is slightly different than "right of way" in a land use/ permissive/ access meaning that's roughly equivalent to a public servitude.

Both of which are separate from the obligation to attempt to avoid collisions/ accidents regardless of who has the legal right to go first.

Giving pedestrians "priority" by default sounds good in theory, but is less safe due to how it changes pedestrian behavior and encourages people to cross in unsafe places vs walking to an intersection or location with sufficient visibility/ line of sight.

Which isn't to say that it should be illegal to cross at unsafe places, but that the pedestrian should assume drivers can't see them and cross as-if they don't have priority, whether they do or not.
Odd side note but i see they’re spelling it “NewCastle” which prompted you to make it two words. I assume it’s in reference to the Newcastle coal port? Can anyone confirm. I grew up in the town, so the spelling caught my eye.
It's not novel, it's been used since some of the very first mining ASICS. The reason you don't see it anywhere else is that the matching needs to be very good, down to giving chips busy work if they are idle otherwise you get interesting results.

Yes, you have.
>I know I am not the only one doing this. I can't think of any video game / movie that has been so inspiring to so many people.

I think the Zelda franchise has similar if not greater cultural impact in some of the ways you're talking about.
Energy consumption determines the cost, whereas the benefit is determined by the value of a bitcoin, and the demand for on chain transactions. Cost will always approach benefit.
If you use one wallet for all your transactions, you're the fool.

Was it just me that misread the title initially? Though I think I'd probably be equally good at recognizing human faeces as I've worked my way through a bunch of pets and kids and consider poop my specialist subject.
Thankfully -- for now -- most merchants do not seem to respect any such blacklist/greylist. However, for exchanges, KYC regulation may end up having some similar effects.

Intel's no dummies. They know that a lot of investors have heard of Bitcoin and not a lot of investors have heard of monero. They didn't get into this business because they wanted to contribute to a decentralized currency. They just want to make money.
>If Y22k hit John Deere's DRM this spring, some 50% of fields would lay fallow, and we'd have 50% less food in the fall....it would be devastating.

I actually doubt it, those aren't the only tractors in the world, or even the US. It would be annoying, and expensive, but hardly the end of the world. Also consider that the fact these things are automated makes us less susceptible to other forms of supply chain disruption that might affect a highly manual process, like a pandemic for example.
This sort of moral superiority argument for open relationships largely harms the perception of those relationships. It definitely works better for some people, but it can be a complete disaster for others. The nature of the relationship itself directly spawns challenging situations that can trigger intense emotions and insecurity. Logical people with very high emotional intelligence who have read the latest books on ethical non-monogamy are not magically immune to the difficulties.

As an example, I have met a number of people who genuinely are not attracted in any significant way to people that are not their current partner. Forcing those people into an open relationship would only create misery. They simply aren’t interested in anyone else.
Inflation is not necessarily a bug or something you “need to solve”.
API is barely responding, so I am pretty sure their servers are overloaded.
> Can you imagine what would happen today if security found handcuffs in your bags at the air port? Back then, they smiled and put them back after my brother explained they were just toys. Unbelievable today.

So you are trying to tell us not to take our sex toys to the airport. The world just got thougher.
There will be plenty of thought police.
I always pay attention to poly success stories but it always seems like, when I scratch beneath the surface, the couples have problems just as serious as in monogamous relationships. It seems like they’re swapping out one set of problems for another.
I'm not sure you realize how bad deflation is.
If you look at the official names for countries you notice some trends. One of them is that use of the words "People's" and "Democratic" in the country name tend to indicate a brutal dictatorship. Examples:

- GDR: German Democratic Republic (ie East Germany). Totalitarian state.

- PRC: People's Republic of China. Also autocratic.

- DPRK: Democratic People's Republic of Korea (ie North Korea). This one is a two-fer and definitely a brutal dictatorship.

With all that being said, I present to you "Truth Social".
Why, could be a genuine waitlist to prevent spam/overloading their servers?
Considering that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies intend(ed) to operate in a decentralized manner, your point probably matters only for those who want to deal with centralized exchanges that follow such allow or deny lists. There are services and ways to connect with others to trade (though they may come with some more difficulty compared to a centralized exchange).
I'm curious what these pitfalls are that you're referring to. Can you elaborate? It's been a long time since I was new to Java, and this sort of outside perspective is always a good thing.
My point was just that Docker doesn't ensure reproducibility. Whether a build is reproducible or not depends on the steps used, so its possible but not "ensured".

If you wanted to guarantee reproducibility, a hypothetical purely-functional build system could do that. I personally don't think that's necessary though, or that it would be worth the requisite trade-offs.
edit: nope
> The response was both extreme and universal: How the hell do you all accept being micromanaged to such a degree? Don't any of you have any dignity?

And they're totally right. I don't tolerate to be treated like that and nobody treat me like that.
I don't think you need to have a business model if you can be sure of user growth and app downloads. In today's startup economy you can get almost unlimited funds as long as you can provide growth... the revenue can come later, it's not really a requirement for doing business.
Any increase in power efficiency will lead to lower operating costs, which will lead to a higher hashrate, which will lead to an adjustment of the mining difficulty.
I think once you go past a certain age your attack surface shrinks again, leaving you vulnerable only to targeted attacks. I'd still think twice about trying to browse the web on XP, but on, say, Mac System 9? Or Palm through some kind of gateway that speaks modern TLS?

The implicit observation that there is such a thing as a white hat marketeer relegating the remainder to black hats is an astute one.

I would rephrase the one as raising consciousness about important issues, and leave the other one under the label marketing, which to me is limited to commercial enterprises and indirect money grabs, a lot of which is related to politics and creating artificial divisions in society (the 'haves' vs the 'have nots' and so on).
Sites want the ads to get through, right? So they’re going to do the thing that makes that happen: A records.
Take a look at Voat for an idea of what you will see.
I also present to you CNN, "The Most Trusted Name In News."
Inflation is a feature, not a bug. It discourages hoarding of money -- and encourages putting it to use, as opposed to letting is slowly lose its value. Too much inflation, of course, is bad, but a small amount offers the right incentives with very few downsides.
I'm approaching my fifth year of marriage and we have two kids under 3. My wife is a stay-at-home mom for the time being. I am pretty satisfied in my marriage even though right now, it feels it's one of the most hardest because the kids demand so much attention and a huge portion of our life is surrounded around them. To me, it seems like my wife just found another gear and is now hustling at another level with the kids. I stand in awe in how much she handles them while also putting up with me and my work (running a startup and all the emotional baggage that comes with it).

One thing that worked for us is establishing clear communication and guidelines. For example when I'm in my home-office and door is closed - it's do not disturb mode. Once I'm done with work, I take over and watch the kids while my wife rests for a bit and then it's bedtime for the kids - each of us takes a kid and put them to sleep. By 8:00 PM, both kids are asleep and its time for ourselves. We either spend it together (watching TV, etc) or apart (I play CoD, she relaxes by reading or watching her shows). We also have a mandatory at least one date a month away from the kids. This lets us to continue dating each other and enjoy each other's company.

For me, marriage is really about serving one-another every day. It's not about my happiness, desires, wants, it's about making sure my wife is satisfied and happy. My wife does the same for me. The moment you start being selfish and only try to get what you want and not work with your spouse/partner to help them achieve their dreams/wants, that's when things start to crumble.
The business goal is to get Trump re-elected. Candidates since multiple multiple millions of dollars to build a narrative and build their image as the candidate of choice. Making a social media app is just the next logical conclusion.
What's described here is deeply noncompetitive, even if it was released today. From the pictures of the PCBs in that article I suspect it is the combination of both being incredibly expensive to produce and miserably inefficient.
That's such an awesome idea and would do wonders for the dignity of this profession. I haven't read Developer Hegemony but I absolutely will now.
Yeah, built in male ev-psych concern about sex (and really it’s the connection to paternity) vs female concern about resource investment. Poly people argue you can learn to get over these things, but I’m not so sure.

I remember reading poly tends to appear in communities where there are men with very high status and wealth. In that context it makes sense men would push for harems (like a gorilla) and try to persuade others to do this too (obviously with more complex better sounding arguments than “I want a harem”), but I remain pretty skeptical.

Ultimately people can do what they want. I’m just skeptical it’d work out.

Of course it’s in my interest to argue that otherwise dating gets even worse for men so who knows?

I thought this rationally speaking podcast on the topic was great: http://rationallyspeakingpodcast.org/216-being-a-transhumani...

This Sam Harris podcast about why people cheat was also really good: https://youtu.be/N4B9krAxIpY

The latter goes into interesting things like how men tend to ask “did you sleep with him” and women focus on “do you love her”. The former being an obvious risk of the baby not being yours and “wasting” resources on someone else’s baby, the latter showing risk of abandonment of investment. The selective pressures for this psychology seems reasonable. Also sex is a commodity for women, not for (most) men - how it’s valued is different.

They also talk about why each side cheats (more interesting in the women case imo) and things like how women tend to (unknowingly) curate backup mate options to protect against disaster.

My hypothesis is the nastiness directed towards women that sleep around is also tied up in this stuff too. It lowers investment required from men. Women have an incentive to shame others from doing this even if they don’t really know why they do so.
Probably not. The era of affordable high-end GPUs is over and I don't think it is coming back even after the entire cryptocurrency-nonsense bubble pops. The expected price of a high-end GPU is now fixed in the >$1k range.
Pravda!
