>>Yes, apple does not have the power to not literally force you to do anything, which is an improvement over feudalism. However, if you take apple alongside all their inputs, what you have is an extractive model where shareholders capture the value created by employees and suppliers, and the employees of those suppliers are often the ones being ruthlessly exploited (the aforementioned cobalt miners, Chinese factory workers, etc).

The activity of Apple is massively beneficial to China, and the other suppliers downstream of it. You're simply accepting the Marxist principle that profit is exploitation, and harmful to society, which is not economically valid, and oblivious to the facts around the impact of foreign investment in countries like China.

>>Real wages in the USA have stagnated since the 1960s [1] as neoliberal (aka libertarian) policies have been implemented.

This is incredibly misinformed.

First of all, that link looks at wages, not compensation. The non-wage component of compensation has grown more rapidly than the wage component of compensation. Looking solely at wages, instead of compensation as a whole, is seemingly a deliberate choice to give people a sense of being victimized.

Second, the USA is NOT the world, and it has NOT implemented libertarian policies since 1960.

Market rights have been increasingly encroached upon since 1960, as a result of politically instituted government interventions, that according to basic economics, reduce productivity growth, exacerbate income inequality, or both.

Two major examples:

1. The rapid rise of social democracy:

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/social-spending-oecd-long...

Which is feeding the emergence of a highly paid cadre of government workers:

https://www.hoover.org/research/140000-year-why-are-governme...

To say nothing of the rapid expansion of the regulatory bureaucracy, and the barriers to competition it creates for major private sector incumbents, and highly paid consultants/lawyers/lobbyists who know how to navigate it.

2. The rapid increase in land-use restrictions in the major high-productivity population centers, which according to many analyses, has massively increased income inequality, while inhibiting productivity growth. E.g. this study estimates that reducing land-use restrictions in just three cities: New York, San Francisco and San Jose would increase GDP by 36.3 percent:

This finding was echoed by the White House's Council of Economic Advisers in 2016:

The world at large, which has moved more toward libertarianism since 1990, has seen the most rapid rise in wage growth in human history over the last 30 years:

Not 45%, no. Being a third and being 45% are very different in terms of power. A third means you have a voice but the other part still has twice the seats you have, 45% means you are basically equal to the other part.

Also, if it was just the 45% worker representation on boards and not the other things I'd consider him traditional left. It is a bit further than what you can find in Europe, but not overwhelmingly so, however all those combined is.
Hi, another 5G UW user here, I am getting pretty consistently 1.8Gbps to 2.1Gbps on mine. But I played around with the CPE placement quite a bit. I don't know if you are able to try that. UW will drop you down to lower speeds or a lower band if the mm-wave signal is not good. mm-wave is really touchy dues to the small beam size.
The thing that replaces Google won't look like Google at first. This makes it hard to predict who will dethrone them. In the past we use to say how do you beat Microsoft? Or why isn't there a Microsoft competitor (besides Apple etc...). Now we have Google and chromebooks and android. That's a big step beyond a search engine and competitive w/ MSFT. Amazon basically owns cloud computing. Arguably there are competitors in different markets. These challenges to MSFT happened due to the massive force of the Internet which basically reduced consumer costs by transferring it to advertisers.

If we are talking about search then it will likely be something AI based probably operating under a different model than Google search. AI is a huge force probably akin to the Internet.

Nope. Living in the real world with experience of how good Google used to be.

The high number of posts on the subject suggests real decline, and stopping that decline won't be helped by a rose-tinted assessment of the current situation.
This is a long read but very engaging. Touches on language, philosophy, ontology, causal inference, the importance of data provenance, ...
Pros:
It is as light weight as it claims (at least when I did a basic test I was more than happy).
Seamless deployment, no setup or dependencies or anything. For instance I'm using Rust and it was the only front end that _just worked_ when I started a year or 2 ago.
The creator is very active and very helpful on the forums. He will answer your questions and give you the solution you need, but also give you a more proper solution, if applicable.
It appears cross platform support _just works_ as well, but I haven't tried yet.
It's nice that it's HTML, CSS, and JS so you can share knowledge among projects.

Cons:
Not as much documentation and help online as you might be used to from larger projects, but the documentation and samples are good enough if you're willing to grep and dig a little.
It doesn't have the same parity as exiting browsers, so some existing web frameworks (like bootstrap) won't work (at least I couldn't get it to work).
No debugger that can step through JS that I can find. But it does have "inspector.exe" which is like a simple Developer Tools from browsers to see the HTML with an active JS interpreter.
MFA Ukraine: “Boycott Auchan”
For me (amazon.de, EN language setting): Open app -> "More" burger menu botton right (three horizontal lines stacked on top of each other) -> Scroll down to "Customer service" -> Scroll down to search feature -> "Personal Information" -> #1. I think this is really just a webview to the same part of the website with a different design.

Takes a bit more tapping and scrolling than clicking on desktop, but that is more he fault of the smaller screen and how apps work I would guess.

TL;DR you need a lot of money and users (catch-22). Also, massive scale and massive noise.

You can also search HN for 'cliqz' for discussions about Cliqz shutting down.
I would be interested to know more details, for example where are locks held (or is it all interlocked ops / CAS?). I’d assume the scheduler uses lockfree algorithms.
From what I've heard, for Rust the difficulty comes in when you're using a Rust wrapper of a C/C++ library and you need to crosscompile both into the binary.
Something like a cooperative where companies become the franchisee owner for a specific search vertical. They could get access to technology, software and knowledge, but the costs of infrastructure would be the responsibility of the member. As well as having their own “front page”, website and branding there would then be a “meta” search engine that intelligently searches the franchisees search engines based on the query.

If someone searches for something on one engine and it doesn’t have the results the “meta” search engine could be checked and direct the user to another engine that would better fit their query.

> The law allows workers to elect representatives (usually trade union representatives) for almost half of the supervisory board of directors.

Most of the things in that article that are still true don't actually come up on a day to day basis for professional coders with a good framework and a decent IDE (basically PhpStorm).

I still think about throughput and bandwidth from time to time. In my case, I am mobile enough to encounter the fast but high latency case and fast, but only in little bursts, too few to gloss over, cases. There is room for more here, and it might lead to something new, that scales.

That said, I do agree with you.

In my view, what the carriers do matters more.

They are still wanting to gatekeep to a much higher degree than they currently are.

Nothing pays like creating problems and then selling solutions does. Massive consolidation opens the door for the threat of artificial value to walk right through and into our wallets.

How to scale a unicorn-building engineering team (and stay sane)
I hope it's not like what happened in La Palma in the Canary islands last year. But it brings to the attention that maybe building your life on a volcanic area is not the best move over the long term. Chances that something happens in a 100 year lifespan are not negligible.
If cooperatives were as efficient as corporations, they would win out in the free market, with consumers choosing their products over those produced by corporations. Repressing the free market necessarily means preventing the most efficient means of production/coordination from becoming predominant, based on crude ideologically motivated narratives about how an economy is supposed to work.

>>Marxist "doctrines" also led to 5 day 8 hour working weeks, paid leave, unions led to increased wages, and many other workers rights. Hell, before the left wing gained power, child labour was predominant in capitalist economies.

No it didn't. All of those things emerged as a result of the rising levels of per capita GDP that were due to profit-motivated investment in a free market.

Child labor could only be abandoned when productivity increases enabled parents to support their whole family alone, and that productivity increase was, again, a consequence of profit-motivated investment in a free market.

This is a difficult problem to solve for some kids, because there are at least two dimensions to consider:

- language difficulty (which is what lexile aims to measure)

- how appropriate the topic is

My 5.5yo son is decoding words at about 4th grade level (based on an informal 'San Diego Quick Assessment'). But he's limited in his reading by:

- his life experience and existing knowledge, which both affect comprehension

- his willingness to read books that have few pictures (he doesn't like books that have 10 pages between pictures)

It's hard to find books that are age-appropriate (based on topic and maybe format) but also have challenging language (vocabulary, grammar).

That is already happening. The NHS is paying the private sector to perform operations due to long wait times (it will take half a decade for the waiting list to go down)...but these are usually the same NHS doctors, working in the same hospitals...they are just being paid 3x the price, it is the worst of all worlds (doctors are an extremely powerful lobbying group in the UK, they have tightly controlled entry to the industry so you have doctors making base £150-200k part-time on the NHS, then topping up with another £200-300k with private sector work...it is chaos).

I understand no-one in the US wants to hear it...the UK system doesn't work (fully public health doesn't work, almost no countries in Europe with good healthcare have it, Australia is very similar to the UK, introduced private healthcare...their results are miles, miles, miles ahead).

I upvoted this, because the brilliance of this is its simplicity. A society that has convinced itself that the Golden Rule is bad is a society that has lost something of immense value.

The so-called Platinum Rule is presented as a better alternative to the Golden Rule, but it should be viewed as (and relegated to) something more like "fine print". There's an important reason for this:

The Golden Rule actually promotes empathy. It gives you a simple tool for understanding situations: Put yourself in the other person's shoes and ask what you'd want. This is something that you, and others, are likely to be somewhat capable of.

The Platinum Rule, by contrast, discourages empathy (under the guise of the reverse), by telling you to emphasize difference between yourself and the other person, and making them more unknowable, more Other. It also, in practice, tends to promote suspicion, fear-of-offense, and, as a result, inaction: "I would like it if someone did this for me. But maybe they wouldn't? Maybe they'll be mad for some reason? I hear those people have strange beliefs and fiery tempers. Ok, I'll just mind my own business."

Fine, yes, in extreme border cases, it's worth pausing and considering "platinum rule"-like considerations. But even there I contend that you're better off using the Golden Rule's mantra, and putting yourself in the other's shoes; then all the second-order effects can be included in those "shoes".

In short, from an emotional perspective, the Golden Rule simply works better.

Instead the situation can be a bit like --

You're trying to build a bridge. And you have this good way to do it, using Newtonian mechanics.

And then somebody comes along and goes, "but achktually, 'General Relativity', you idiot; who let you near bridges?" Not that they themselves could possibly calculate the loads using a full General-Relativistic treatment. And then, everybody gives up: The bridge stays unbuilt, and warring camps form on opposite sides of the river.

This gets at another problem with the "Platinum Rule": It is, fairly explicitly, a way for a person to say, "your consensus about how to be good is wrong; I am better". In this way it's an elitist idea: "I'm so smart; my ethics are superior to the rubes'". The Golden Rule, by contrast, is leveling.

Life comes at you fast. You need good simple mental tools -- mantras -- that help you to cultivate the correct emotional states. When you catch fire, you don't have time to calculate stoichiometry; you "Stop, Drop, and Roll".

The Golden Rule is like that for ethics. It's one of the very few things that actually works.
>Is the best plan really to rely on the benevolent leadership and good intentions of low-EQ celebrities like Elon Musk and Uncle Jeff Bezos along with the government to save us from catastrophe?

If we learned anything from the global pandemic (covid-19), the world would do better by building and strengthening institutions like WHO and CDC to solve global problems.
couldn't you do the same to a lot of gas tanks that aren't locked?

Absolutely, that's why I use a locking gas cap. They aren't perfect but they are a PITA to take off if the key doesn't work. I've had to remove one without the key.

"The" Linux Desktop ecosystem can't do anything. It's reached an equilibrium between people who want Linux to become popular by changing, and people who want Linux to become popular by changing users (into Linux command-line experts).

However, that doesn't stop a group of people from the first group from breaking away and creating their own stack. It's been attempted many times before (etoile, elementary, and in fact kde/gnome started out this way), but they never gain sufficient momentum and crash back into obscurity (etoile, elementary) or mainstream compromises (kde, gnome).

Ok, scratch that part. The other parts still stands. Also, Germany is relatively right wing in many other regards, cherry picking the most left wing part of every European country will still result in something far left of what you see anywhere in Europe.
> The author didn't raise this but I've seen others who have brought up the nebulous "radiation" argument against 5G. Here's a good litmus test: if someone can't tell you, at a minimum, what "ionizing radiation" is then you can safely ignore everything they say about "radiation".

I often use that test myself, or some variation thereof, However, it doesn't always work. We often regurgitate knowledge from people that couldn't recite precise definitions. As a matter of fact, I think most of the people around me, as well as myself and, I think, a good part of commenters here, wouldn't be able to properly describe ionizing radiation, but yet wouldn't refrain from commenting on related matters. On top of that, I met quite educated and convincing persons bring up (non-ionizing) radiation arguments about 5G, that wouldn't have any problem telling you what ionizing radiation is.

I've got two friends that I know are more-or-less 5G skeptics, and heard them sharing how frustrated they are that they cannot even give their opinions on these subjects without being ridiculed, so much that they even lie when asked about it, depending on who's aking them, and then watch others spread vaguely similar conspiracy theories.

That was quite terrifying to me (at the time).

> Here's another: if they can't describe the "radiation" in terms of the radiation exposure from eating a banana, you can also safely ignore them.

As far as I know, most people that are (seriously) bringing up radiation arguments about 5G are worried of non-ionizing radiation.
> The tutorials do put too strong a focus on JSON in my opinion (Matt wrote them).

I don't mean to start a fight between friends! :-)

> But on the other hand I think it's pretty important to understand that the Caddyfile _is_ an adapter to JSON and not the native config language. It's key to knowing how to debug and inspect how Caddy actually runs.

Agreed.

> I'm not sure I understand this point though, what are you trying to say here? You can definitely just download the caddy binary and run it wherever, you don't need to use a package manager. I'm not sure what this is trying to point to.

Sorry, I mangled that with a run-on sentence, didn't I! What I mean is, I think more users are likely to want the package manager, systemd-configuration deal. The automatic-HTTPS thing is such a strong sell that I think a lot of people will seek to replace nginx just for that.

I could totally be wrong here but this is where I think a sort of narrative document for Nginx users at least is perhaps worth it.

Some of this is always going to be a challenge because Caddy is a fascinating, category-straddling project; you've made a product that is somewhere between a magical automatic appliance, a Golang web dev framework and a traditional configurable server, that avoids the downsides of all of those things as far as is really possible.

Documenting that is definitely a unique challenge.

I'm prattling on now but thank you again for Caddy; it really is a great contribution.
