> I consider this environment to be toxic for the average individual.

So to repeat what another person said: wouldn't the most accurate advice be to ignore all the marketing and use ETFs?

If people are inundated with marketing telling them to be active investors, telling them to be a more informed active investor is not the solution.
Yeah I think it’s well known but you need some sort of event to prove the emperor has no clothes. You essentially have to force it to go kaput.
Tons of "false friends" between Slavic languages. E.g. "urod" could mean "beauty" in some and "freak" in others. In Russian "sila" means primarily "force" or "strength" and in the context of "siloviki" it refers to the armed forces and law enforcement as the top of this thread states.
Easier to roll out, is my guess.
I think there's a lot of "it depends" going on in these arguments so it's hard to say. I've worked on cars on both ends of the spectrum so this is just my experience.

My main concern is long-term maintainability for imported vehicles by me personally. Even though I'm a software and electronics nerd, I still don't have all the things necessary to maintain a modern vehicle, nor do I want to be re-manufacturing PCBs or replacing surface mount components. So once any one of the dozens to hundreds of boards goes bad, you have to find a replacement, and you also have to hope that the of EEPROM is in the right state for your car in regards to error codes and calibration so that you can actually use it.

One example from a 2012 Toyota Crown, replacing some trim on the steering wheel tweaked one of the sensors out of calibration. During recalibration, part of the radar braking system failed to calibrate. The car is perfectly fine in 99.9% of parameters, but the computer has disabled every computer assist system and put others in limp mode until this one can be calibrated. No traction control, stability control, cruise control, ABS, magnetic suspension, all stopped. The car handles like a truck now. That's a tough problem to solve, and a really annoying one too, since the car would work at 100% capacity if only this sensor would calibrate. Dealer can't fix it, importers can't fix it, I can't fix it.

Contrasted to more rudimentary cars, I can pretty much fabricate or repair any part I need to as time goes on. As fewer shops will work on these cars as well, I pretty much need to be self-sufficient, so simpler is better.

So it's not about reliability, but maintainability, every car will fail eventually. Not everyone lives in the middle of a city with a dealership nearby, and in my experience not even dealers can get some of these parts anymore. I can't even get parts for a 2007 BMW from my dealer anymore.
You can also do this with your phone. You don't have to stream everything. Just add your files and use an app that can play music locally.
As a web developer that primarily codes in React for the last 5 years, I strongly disagree. I use it because of the ecosystem and I think everyone does. It's not that fast, and it's quite verbose.

That's besides the point though, because I doubt Apple chose React because they "enjoyed" it here.

I like web tech but I also think it's not worth it for this use case (even if it is shared with the web). What naturally happens is you start asking "well if we did it for that, why not for this?" Sooner or later it invades the system.

I've worked on desktop apps where the same thing happened where webviews were not truly needed.

I don't have a hate for it in general, but Apple was extremely strong in native UI so I would have liked to see them try to stick to that, even if it meant coding it twice.
Well maintained pickup trucks...but you had to be a real stickler about that maintenance. You may have lost a power steering pump or water pump but the repair was trivial. Part was cheap and labor was your teenage son (or daughter).

> I do think there's room for a lot of investment styles. I know a lot of middle/upper class people that enjoy analyzing stocks for long term holds in companies they believe in.

So are you investment education or are you investment data?

The former pushes people toward a certain investment style, and currently that investment style is one that loses them money (as you seem to know).

It seems that you're trying to democratize something like Bloomberg. In the hands of an individual retail investor, it's essentially a tool for gambling. I don't think there's anything immoral about that, but the veneer of "making the world better" in your posts really rubs me the wrong way.

If your goal is to educate people for the betterment of society, tell them not to look at stock market data, not to pay attention to people like Kramer, and to put their money into ETFs.
from a computer engineering perspective would have been more appropriate.
As a mechanical engineer, I disagree with most of your comment. You've added sensors, electronics, servos... all to position control something that's an arms reach away (technically...). Lubricating a cable, which happens almost never in this case to no ill effect, directly compared to bits takes a few leaps over the reality of hardware.So the complexity is far higher and the control system can now be compromised, will be compromised by design and you are not writing the firmware updates..

Maybe the car you were taking about is in the metaverse though?

edit:

Perhaps far more importantly, the concept of features as a service has suddenly caught the eyes of vehicle manufacturers, see Toyota latest debacle with deactivated remote starters. The more digital control they have....

This is really a question of when. People are rightly assessing the sale/lease of software by the second in the very near future. Imagine driving down the highway on the first of the month and your pedal deactivates because you forgot to update an expired credit card autopayment.

Eh, I hear it, but I think it’s rare enough and so strongly filtered (/new is lousy with the corpses of the self submitted articles), it seems to be fine for now.
What do you mean by not spending?

If you just take the money and bury it in your backyard forever, the central bank will just replace it after a while. (Assuming a typical inflation targeting central bank. And also in aggregate, because the central bank doesn't know exactly how much money is getting buried; but they do monitor total spending in the economy.)

If you leave the money in the bank, the bank invests it.

If you want to make a positive difference, you can use the money to contribute to eg carbon reduction efforts.

The rest of what you are saying is right: there's better and worse ways to spend that money. (In the worst case, you could buy a few tons of coal and just set them on fire.) I'm just saying that earning money and not spending it at all, doesn't automatically mean zero net emissions.
They probably gave the icloud team, a team largely made up of web developers, full authority over that system preference pane. Their experience is in react, they chose react; makes a lot of sense. Even more so if the data here is used by similar pages on the web version of icloud.

Senior dev here - switched to working 4 days in 2019 and my life has been much better for it.

I remember giving up on my Hackintosh install after the App Store started rendering without CSS, breaking update functionality. Always thought that to be a weird failure mode for a system application.
I think it’s a little unfair that you’ve been so downvoted (at the time of writing), because the old phrase about hammers and nails is super applicable to software development, and the icloud team may very well know react better than cocoa.

I get the need for flag waving but Kyiv is at best a distraction. The real aim here was to create and occupy a land bridge between Donbass and Crimea and that seems to be pretty much done.

If I was to bet on anything, I'd expect Russia to gradually withdraw to the south and then occupy it, digging in for a long negotiation process.

Time zone rules change relatively frequently - future dates may be better stored in the appropriate time zone, optionally along with the UTC offset at the time of recording, so you don't report incorrect information when the rules do change on you.

Past dates should always be in UTC, for the same reason - timezone rule changes are sometimes even retroactive.
> Nothing is being done about shipping, cruise lines, and big industry.

Not sure what you mean, there's plenty of regulation on those. Eg most of the world has just recently gotten much stricter about what fuels you can burn in ocean going vessels. Though maybe not as much regulation as you want? Or the wrong kind?

In any case, I mostly agree with you. And regulation shouldn't focus on micro-managing individual people or even individual industries: just tax emissions, and let people sort it out according to their own preferences.
Lists can be public or private. If they're public, the account being added gets notified. If they're private, there's no notification, and nobody else can see the list or its contents anyway.

"if you put me in a list, I will block you" is almost certainly about public lists, either because the notifs are noisy or because the list may not be a flattering one.

Redis loses data, it has to be a cache. And it range scans only on individual machines. Eg, it doesn't scale, you have to scale it.

Foundation is transactional correct on a cluster, and supports range scans.

TCC is non-optimizing and its 64-bit implementation was contributed by someone else and never finished. Borland Pascal has an IDE. Their executable has 7.141258 bits per byte of entropy. That's even higher than SectorLISP, a 436 byte development environment, which only has 6.300498 bits per byte of entropy. I wish I could travel back in time and the people who wrote Turbo Pascal could probably teach me a thing or two about size optimization tricks.

> I don't agree that poorer people should shoulder a greater burden for societal adaptation to threats.

I don't get that? If do adopt a carbon tax, then the rich guy who wants to drive a performance car pays a lot more, than the poor person who take the bus.

> If you have a high polluting performance vehicle, maybe it can be restricted in a normalizing fashion when used for transportation or recreation within some arbitrary boundary, like speed limits to some extent [...]

That sounds awfully intrusive and full of loopholes, that only people who can afford expensive lobbyists and lawyers can exploit.

> [...] but some people shouldn't have the ability to just disregard things in daily in daily life that the place has democratically decided upon only because the money is available.

How would paying your democratically-decided-on carbon tax be the same as disregarding anything?
I can't say much about recent years, given how I've left quite a while ago. But I do want to point out that ABP was always surprisingly upfront about Acceptable Ads (only users who cannot read could possibly miss it, it's prominent on every step of the funnel). And even though that may be hard to believe, they do take the criteria very seriously last time I checked, even doing a ton of user research, which surprisingly (to me) yielded back then that a lot of users feel bad about blocking all ads unconditionally and mostly care about not having stuff jump at them.

The only possibly shady thing you point out is that it's opt out, I get that. Especially people who want to block everything unconditionally might feel cheated because it's not called Adblock Minus.

What Mozilla did here, OTOH, I find shady because they're pretending to run an impartial addon store, when in practice some guy who wants to promote a specific extension (maybe that person feels like you, maybe he's a friend of gorhill - I have no way of knowing) can pull these kind of tricks.

But I suppose it's a case for Hanlon's Razor: They probably just don't have their stuff together about running any type of store the way the big guys do.

I'm still a proud Mozillian, I can find one thing they do shady without finding all of Mozilla shady, I realise it didn't sound like that above.

>Just to concentrate on food alone: we are barely harvesting anything from the oceans.

Just to cite one of of your statements, the oceans have been decimated with countless species extinct and many more on their way there due to overfishing and habitat destruction. The oceans are also filled with industrial chemicals, plastics and have numerous massive "dead zones" due to nitrogen run off from the huge factory farms we run to sustain our massively overpopulated planet.

The suggestion that the earth isn't overpopulated, let alone the idea that the earth could support "hundreds of billions of people" is beyond absurd. We are losing biodiversity among animals, insects, fish and every other form of non human life due directly to massive overpopulation. Saying this ignores the decimation of our ecosystem and the food web that has left our planet teetering on the brink.

Ever since I was a small child it was obvious to me that there would be a time when humans no longer ate other animals. Not in my lifetime of course, as that and other insanities such as inflicting misery on other humans is still well ingrained, accepted, and promoted.
A pigovian tax works, even if the proceeds are not used to fight the externalities.

Pulling CO2 out of the atmosphere might or might not be a good idea. But that's a cost/benefit analysis that's independent of the carbon tax take.

This is not about alphabets or character sets. It is about the first standardized computer-to-computer textual protocol. And that is US-ASCII.

Interesting bits:

* “the Russians have the ability to expect and endure a tremendous amount of suffering”.. “they have made suffering a virtue”

When I interviewed, the instructions I was given by the recruiter were very explicit. For the Leadership Principles, I did my hardest to come up with at least two items for each LP, and of course they had to be in STAR format -- Situation, Task, Action, Result. To that, I added a URL to back up my story for all of the cases where I could.

So, when I used the example of designing and starting to build the replacement e-mail system for ASML for literally zero additional cost [0], I pointed them at the URL for the Invited Talk that I gave based on that work. And when I used the example of when I broke all e-mail across the entire Internet, I pointed them at the URL for the article that was published in The Register. When I talked about what I had learned about Chef and DevOps, I pointed them at the invited talk I gave in Edinburgh entitled "From zero to cloud in 90 days" and the accompanying tutorial I taught called "Just enough Ruby for Chef". And so on.

I really feel that having the URLs to backstop my stories helped me sail through that part of the interview.

In my case, I wasn't being hired as an SDE, so there wasn't much programming tests they wanted me to take -- one of their senior developers did connect me to a shared coding platform, which we really just used as a shared whiteboard. He asked me some questions on how I would solve some problems, and I used my 30+ years of experience with Bourne shell and bash to show him stupid first order solutions to those problems and then we talked about what some of the second and third order solutions might be.

The longer I work at AWS, the more convinced I am that everything depends on the people you're working with. There are good teams and bad teams. There are good managers and bad managers. And if you can find a good team with good managers, then you're golden.

In this respect, I don't think AWS is materially different from any other employer I've known.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhadla_Solar_Park

This has a ~ 40 MW/ sq.km output with a lot of it still being open space for different reasons.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamuthi_Solar_Power_Project

This one has ~ 64 MW/ sq km output

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_Mountain_Solar_Facility

This one in US seems to be about ~ 53 MW/ sq km

So definitely he is purposely understating the potential of solar. Because it does not include future growth of tandem solar cells (Si + perovskite) taking it to more than 25-30% efficiency, or the fall in costs if they continue (albeit at a slower pace). Co-located Wind & solar power plants at suitable sites can be even more efficient with their reliability and capacity factors increasing if batteries added to the mix.

"The carrying capacity of earth is likely hundreds of billions of humans, if we were to set our mind to it."

I've never seen anything that states that. Link? UN and others estimate 8-12 billion. And none of those estimates are accounting for sustainable population. You say 100s of billions, but with what quality of life? With scare resources comes conflict.

"we are barely harvesting anything from the oceans."

Most major fish stocks are down more than 90%. Farm raised means feed and and antibiotics. Sure we can increase stuff like seaweed consumption, but that's not very significant.

"Even on land, using greenhouses everywhere would give us vastly more agricultural yield."

What are those greenhouses going to be made out of? Petroleum based plastics, glass (CO2 for melting), or cellulose/corn plastic (that requires chemicals that aren't environmentally friendly)? Where are we getting the nutrients? We already use a massive amount of petroleum based nitrogen.

"But if push came to shove, we could totally do it."

No, if push came to shove then people would start literally shoving in the form of a war.

"(Just like we _could_ totally get rid of fossil fuels, if we really had to and run everything on wind and solar. It's just not economically viable to do that right now.)"

That's another unsubstantiated claim. Even the EU says they cannot convert fast enough to get off of Russian gas. Let's see a link that says wind and solar are completely feasible to meet current power demands, including the energy storage required.

"I can see how some people might be queasy about putting fission reactors everywhere."

So are you changing from just the wind and solar mentioned earlier to include nuclear?

I recently went to pay for a music service and wanted to give spotify a chance, but they have a huge information leak somewhere on when new accounts are created.

On the day of my free trial ending I received the first and only phishing email I've ever had from spotify telling me my trial was ending and it was time to swipe.

Up until then I had been happy with the service, but then noticed I was about to get owned.... Down to the day of expiration...

I emailed their support about how this was sketchy and they needed to do better information masking and got told their team did not consider any of this a vulnerabilty.

With this in tow, it really cast some shade on their serious engineering abilities for me.
