It's not a money thing. It's a mindset thing.

I am fairly senior and make tons of money. The ratio of income to my annual grocery bill is stupid. Also, I eat mostly salads and meat is not my most common protein source. Groceries could go up 10x and fluctuation in my investments would still grossly dwarf .

But one of my earliest memories is my mother crying at the ATM because the checking account was over-drawn and there was no food at home (by the time I was in high school we were much better off than most, but the treatment effect stuck -- my younger sibling and I think about money in very different ways. Crazy what a $2K savings buffer can do). I then spent a good part of my early adult life stressing about affording food & choosing between rent and desired groceries.

I still stress over every single thing that goes in the grocery basket, for absolutely not rational reason. In particular, I don't stress about e.g. restaurant bills. Why? Because the times in my life when food was scarce do not overlap with times I was in restaurants as a patron.

The grocery store in particular is a source of psychological terror for many Americans at one point or another in their lives, and those memories are visceral.

A thermal noise-generator is fine from a physics perspective. I think that people maybe can't verify what's actually on the die.

How much do we trust what we're told about the circuit? Does its interface talk to that noise-source all the time? Or is there a cutaway inside that maybe jumps to a seeded PRNG in response to a special memory-write? Would you know if it did?

I'm not saying that RDRAND is backdoored. I've got no reason to assume that it is. But it would also be very hard to prove that it -isn't-. If I was doing something where I actually cared about the quality of my entropy, I might not want to just take Intel at their word.

I'm not sure how Snowden or Lavabit represent a "case study" in favor of RSA over ECC. My recollection is that the federal government never cracked Lavabit's encryption, and that all interactions with the government came in the form of (sometimes gagged) court orders.
Right, but my point was that a standard (i.e. non-appeal) usually has lawyers questioning witnesses (or the defendant themself); they're explicitly not allowed to just pontificate without asking a question outside of the opening and closing statements. My understanding of an appeals trial was that there was no witness testimony, just lawyers talking to judges and vice-versa. If my understanding is correct, that means that without judges asking questions, an appeal would just consist of each lawyer essentially making a speech and then sitting down without any ability for discussion. This strikes me as a bit odd, which is why I'm wondering if I'm missing something. If I'm not, I would think Thomas' position is extraordinarily unorthodox, to the point that I wouldn't be surprised if no other appeals judge in the country shared it. I'm not sure how easy it would be to check that, but at the very least, has any other Supreme Court justice in the history of the United States every held that view?

Another way to look at it is that if workers have more money they might be able to better compete with the bankers that are buying houses to rent them out.
Ah, thanks for the link and more solid information here.
In Denmark it's sometimes difficult to fire someone, and some industries are more regulated than others. There were layoffs coming and the manager told me he was on his way out, that is to say if he hadn't gotten a better job at a competitor. No longer doing frontend development however.

As far as his being trained I mean, yes he was young, but this wasn't his first job and as I understand it had certainly talked his skills up in the interview.

Aye, what we need are more open world games where the point is really more to explore the world and it’s details, kind of like you’re reading a book. The purpose of carrying weapons is more to defend yourself from things that might try to kill you along the way as you explore, rather than purposefully going out to seek combat. And perhaps most quests aren’t even combat related, but rather just ways to see interesting storylines unfold and reveal things about life in this world.
The question is, is this the simple solution? Perhaps I and others have been spoiled by cloud offerings but having set up RDS once and never having to worry much about the db architecture after that for years as we scale has maybe spoiled us.

Hi Kaveh, congratulations on the launch. Is filtering by tag currently available (cost allocation and non-cost tag)? I definitely think you should add support for tracking other AWS services ASAP, as long as one can drill-down to the request level (e.g., GetObject).
So it only compresses to the size of PNG, but it's faster to decode? I could see this being useful for something like training sets for AI, if loading is fast enough you could avoid saving raw pixel arrays.

It's more like 220ppi vs 280ppi (thanks https://www.sven.de/dpi !) and the difference is way, way bigger than I thought.

In fact it is the biggest improvment in text-reading ergonomics I have ever experienced from a monitor upgrade, and that includes 4K → 5K.

I can't even see the pixels at 220ppi on a 5K, so I thought I didn't need any higher.

But in fact, what I see is fuzz. Just a bit, and it's very small and I could live with it... until I saw the 8K at 280ppi.

For a few weeks I had them side by side so I asked serveral non-nerds (no other nerds were available, due to the ongoing pandemic). Every person agreed the 8K monitor "looks clearer".

>It's really hard to get people to realize that, and to see the different types of things they benefit from silently. Do you have better suggestions to get people to notice?

Much of the time it'll have to be hearing from other people and their experiences. Then you can kind of compare that with how things go for you. It's nice in a "count you blessings" kind of way to have a list of advantages you have, but it's not important. What matters is that people understand that differences exist so that when they hear about one person's problems they understand that their own experience isn't representative for everyone. Without that someone might hear someone with complaints against police (as an example) and think back over their own long history of pleasant/helpful interactions with officers and dismiss the other person's complaints as overblown or even made up. We see the same problem with A/B testing. Some user complaints about something in a tweet or forum and other people dismiss them because their experience is different and they don't realize what they see isn't universal.

> I think the word privilege is useful to point out when one group has a huge advantage over another, even when there are some advantages or 'advantages' going in either direction.

Why is it useful? Won't it be more useful and productive to point out when a group has a huge disadvantage compared to another? That's something you can fix. If you are told, that simply because of where you were born and the color of your skin X Y and Z are going to be easier for you that isn't useful. You didn't cause that situation, you can't change where you were born or your skin color, and you probably don't want to make anything worse for yourself even if you could. If you tell someone instead that other people with a different skin color are unfairly treated in X Y and Z that's something people can and will want to change.

> It's not really an assumption that if you're white you face a tiny fraction of the racism that a black person gets

The problem is that it 100% is. An old white man accused of being "privileged" might be a holocaust survivor or come from a country or community where they've faced racism their whole lives. Maybe it wasn't even racism explicitly. The point is that you can't know what struggles a person has had to deal with and when people have suffered the last thing they want is someone telling them how great and easy their lives have been.

If you're going to make an assumption it should be that every person has had struggles and advantages at various points in their lives. What matters is that we identify areas of inequality and correct them to reduce all people's struggles. When you do that you aren't asking anyone to feel bad about how good they've had things, you're just asking them to help bring everyone up to the same place. Guilt. blame, defensiveness... those things aren't inevitable. It's all about framing the discussion constructively around the problem to be solved and not the people who, entirely by chance, don't have that particular struggle.

Which is basically also the ending of the Pixar film Ratatouille. The protagonist wows a critic with a simple dish prepared to perfection. It’s a common trope, but also true. “Simple” food prepared well can be much better than a complex dish with many flavors.

Similarly, I’ve also heard (probably from a show like Top Chef, so YMMV) things like a salad or soup are also quick ways to differentiate chefs. In this case, it’s less about technique and more about identifying and mixing flavors.

It works because there is no place to hide. You either have good flavor or not.

>- He's always predicted the singularity for 2045 - no post moving there.

Fair enough. I've really only read "The age of spiritual machines" for an English class in college, and we went over it pretty in depth. It was fascinating initially, but after realizing that (IMO) it was mostly BS I have not read any of his stuff talking about the singularity after that book. So if he is sticking with his date good for him, but it seems pretty crazy to believe it's still going to happen if all the technologies that are meant to get us there are suffering setbacks.

I'm kind of right about the other two points though :) I found the book here: https://jimdo-storage.global.ssl.fastly.net/file/afff560e-b5... so it was fun to read back some of the things predicted about 2019.

> - He didn't say Moore's law - that graph you link starts from 1900, long before Moore and microchips

He postulates that there is a generalized law of accelerating returns that's universal. There were computational technologies before that reached their limits, and got overtaken by newer technologies that kept the overall exponential trend going. Moore's law was the latest of these computational technologies, ready to be overtaken once it runs out of steam. That's why that specific image spans times before and after Moore's law.

From page 81, he was pretty sure regular progress in semiconductors was going to get us very close to human processing power (20 Pflops in the book) in a personal computer by 2020:

"So, how will the Law of Accelerating Returns as applied to computation roll out in the decades beyond the demise of Moore's Law on Integrated Circuits by the year 2020? For the immediate future, Moore's Law will continue with ever smaller component geometries packing greater numbers of yet faster transistors on each chip. But as circuit dimensions reach near atomic sizes, undesirable quantum effects such as unwanted electron tunneling will produce unreliable results. Nonetheless, Moore's standard methodology will get very close to human processing power in a personal computer and beyond that in a supercomputer."

> - The graph says 10^10 flops for $1000 for 2020 approx, = 10 gflops. A NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 costs <$1000 and does 29.77 TFLOPS = 29,770 gflops so a good bit ahead of the prediction

From page 146 about 2019:
"The computational capacity of a $4,000 computing device (in 1999 dollars) is approximately equal to the computational capability of the human brain (20 million billion calculations per second). [2] Of the total computing capacity of the human species (that is, all human brains) combined with the computing technology the species has created, more than 10 percent is nonhuman. [3]"

I get $4000 in 1999 to be ~$6850 in 2022 for 20 Pflops, so ~2.9 Tflops/$. So that prediction was 100x off (and with 3 extra years it should be >50 Pflops). Not sure if the graphs got adjusted later, but fwiw it looks closer to 10^15 than 10^10.
There is a lot of opinion scattered throughout this list.
I'm having a really difficult time migrating my managed postgresql instance in Google Cloud just to get it to a newer version. I'm down to my last option: shut down everything, export, re-import somewhere else again.

I did briefly have logical replication working, and so had my near zero downtime solution in hand. But the replication broke after a few days because I delayed cutting over, and then I couldn't get it going again. I couldn't find out how to debug this either.

The lesson I've learned here is that I'll be avoiding managed DB products whenever I can. It takes away control that turns out I sometimes really need.
My first job was ... magical.
Great team, working on a thing I had passion about, with a supporting direct supervisor and great management all the way to the top.
I worked hard, pay was okay, but it was about doing good work.

I think many people look for the best $$$ and not for great fit -- as our society is all about what bling you can show off. I had better paying jobs after that first one, but with office politics and whatnot thrown in, and that makes things more challenging for sure.
One thing that I find helps is good people and opportunities. You can't be sure to have the same manager forever, but if you have options to change teams and most of the people are decent, that can very helpful.

Also, you have to understand what motivates you, and what gives you satisfaction. Is it working on a good team? Is it being a star performer? Is it successfully adding features? Is it having the largest paycheque possible?
Looking for positions that give you the most personal satisfaction can help; and as long as it's not about getting the most pay, there are some tradeoffs you can make. (Like less pay for more say in what you work on, for instance).
In my opinion (disclaimer, I'm currently test driving Arch again in a VMWare installation) this phenomenon is one that is routinely glossed over in discussions about challenges of the Linux desktop. The fact that the most active people hanging out in supposed "community support" channels are the type of technophiles for whom the statement, "You should really just use mplayer to watch YouTube videos" is a completely acceptable solution. They love their home-rolled digital duct tape built system and you should too!

That's just not at all acceptable to the majority of people who want to know they can click a link in Firefox (or Chromium or whatever) and watch the damn video. Perhaps more important: it's a prime example of sidestepping the question that is so frequent in these communities where you don't get answers to your questions, you get told random things sort of related to your question that others have done.

I started this recent test drive after installing Arch on a secondary system intended to be a home server and, within an hour, I had Steam installed, a DualShock 4 controller connected via bluetooth, and I was playing a windows game (Final Fantasy 12 - The Zodiac Age) at 60FPS stable. I honestly couldn't believe how much "just worked."

I've had long experience with Linux, FreeBSD, and in the last 9 years with Windows too. On the whole I think you're right, it's always been a "mixed bag" when it comes to the gamut of installing, use, and upgrading an OS.

Don't know the vintage of Windows you referenced, but in recent experience (Win 10/11) installing a webcam was dead simple, just plug it into a USB port. Printers used to be a gigantic hassle, but at least for the 4 printers available to my Windows laptop little configuration and no added drivers were necessary. (No doubt certain webcams or printers out there could be a pain to install in Windows.)

One example: getting OBS Studio to work on Windows was pretty much a no brainer vs. Ubuntu which needed to have additional library support. While OBS works under Ubuntu using it is still a bit more of a hassle.

In any case Windows seems to have more bugs now than a few years back. I figure added "features" contribute to complexity. Who knows how many more LOC have been committed. I'd be a lot happier with simpler but more reliable systems. It's not the tradeoff Microsoft, and probably various Linux distributions, will be likely to accept.
> Or maybe Amazon responds with a "business decision" to close JFK8 fulfillment center.

Given the specifics at hand here, that would likely be seen as a retaliatory move to discourage unionization in other branches, which is illegal. There's actually precedent in some cases for forcing an employer to reopen a branch if it was found to be closed as retaliation for union activity.
