In what bizarro world are you living where there is a competitive market for ISPs? 2 ISPs at best, via the municipality-granted local telecom and cable monopolies, is the norm for most of the US. Service does not improve because there is no competitive reason to improve it outside a tiny subset of markets. Services that require physical infrastructure over a wide area, such as power, water, and telecom service tend to result in natural monopolies as a rule.

The limited competition between consumer ISPs in the current landscape isn't providing value by any meaningful assessment. Internet service is functionally a commodity: so long as it's fast enough with consistent uptime it's functionally identical no matter who's providing it. As much as Comcast would like to believe otherwise, consumers largely aren't choosing them for their shitty Netflix knockoff or their free email inbox, they're choosing them because they're probably faster than AT&T DSL. In most markets they're "providing value" by deferring infrastructure upgrades and leveraging dark patterns to generate additional revenue (lol at the common scam-level prices for router rental) to increase profits for their shareholders. Commercial consumer ISPs do not have the best interests of residents in the service areas as a priority.

If nothing else, allowing municipalities to run fiber is in favor of far better competition than the status quo. I sincerely doubt that competence is a major concern with the simple practice of laying infrastructure in a trench (if it is, it doesn't bode well for your water and sewage systems, and that's probably a far more pressing concern), and that's the main barrier to entry for competition. /Running an ISP/, an entity that handles routing and uplink agreements with peers for its customers, is not profoundly heavy on infrastructure cost: you can start your own with leased access, a couple blokes in a shed, some routing and switching gear, and someone who can negotiate a transit contract or two. /Laying a shitton of last-mile fiber across public land/ is infrastructure intensive. The incumbent providers just happen to do both.

You could easily have a municipality provide only the fiber or have it provide both the physical infrastructure and run an ISP service atop it while leasing out line bandwidth to other ISPs. A single ISP can't really monopolize last-mile bandwidth--its usage is a function of the last mile users, not who offers service over it. Fundamentally though, choosing whether subsidize an entire ISP including infrastructure, subsidizing infrastructure alone and renting it, or subsidizing nothing should be the choice of citizens through their government. There's no god-given right that telecom companies have to that market, but they're often able to secure it by bribing a few state reps to listen to their stories about the SCARY PERILS OF MUNICIPAL INFRASTRUCTURE and THE GREAT THREAT TO THE TOTALLY REAL VIBRANT ISP COMPETIIVE LANDSCAPE and vote on something most constituents aren't aware of for a continued stream of campaign contributions.

Big tech isn't fintech and that's about the only thing that could be threatened.

Even for fintech there's a lot of value in providing a streamlined user experienced on top of crypto so there's still room for intermediaries. See how many people primarily use CEXs.

I really don't see it. There's nothing in web3 that threatens any of these companies.
SketchUp for iPad: 3D Visualization on iPad
Ok, that makes sense. I assume you have a good reason for avoiding WSL2, because with WSL2 I've had ok perf if psql was also running on wsl2. Otherwise, you can rent a cheap DO box, or even get one of the free Oracle Cloud ARM instances; you can ssh in, develop using VS Code/ RubyMine Remote, and it'll be reasonably fast.
A privately owned platform can (should?) apply higher standards than 'is it illegal' when moderating UGC.

Since the service is 'free' and no money changes hands it's not as if they have to refund banned user etc.
If electricity is cheaper to generate when the sun is shining, the retail price of electricity should reflect that. In fact, the retail price should fluctuate minute by minute, so that demand can be shaped to match supply.

Trying to match variable supply to a fixed retail electric rate is certain to cause energy gluts and shortages.

For example, I'd be happy to charge my electric car during price minima, heat the electric water heater to the max when power is cheap, and run the A/C to the cold end of comfort when electrons are plentiful.
RSUs are terrible for a private company that aspires to go public, because the moment they trigger -- usually IPO + enough volume traded -- the company owes half of them in taxes (regular income taxes). This places a considerable pressure on the stock and causes a crash on the price usually -- as everyone from peon to executive have to sell half of their multi-year "vestments." So instead of the company raising slowly money via the market and the employees getting a good check when they decide to slowly sell, Uncle Sam gets some taxes up front... (And usually due to the likely crash, less than they would.)
Russia would prefer to control the media narrative. They want the world to see what is happening, so long as they control the framing.
This solution was developed by a SWE 2 candidate in the FAANG on-site interview loop. /s

> Even with content, users can sign up, binge, and quit after a single month.

This just made me realize the next big step is likely paying for monthly access to the service, then paying to unlock the content. Similar to games that hide features behind DLC.

I wouldn’t be surprised if resetting your unlocked content if you let your monthly payments expire was another step forward.
> The idea of the "existence" of a trans person is subject to debate. There are a significant number of people that believe that "being" trans is actually not something of substance, that it is "all made up".

The political debate is about language changes (e.g. "LatinX"), access to sex-segregated spaces, participation in sex-segregated sports, what to teach young children, etc.

> Bostock was a ruling about sexual orientation, not about gender.

Bostock involved multiple consolidated cases, one of which specifically involved gender identity.

> I think if you are citing the 2020 PEW poll on this topic it is probably quite obsolete as it seems clear that the partisan valence of this issue has changed quite a bit very recently.

No, the issues have changed (see above). This is common and unsurprising. People are generally a lot more accepting of civil rights than attempts at social engineering, especially social engineering directed at children.
"I wrote three prequels."

YTA. Why do you feel the need to write prequels for unfinished stories? You don't fix what isn't broken, you make new problems for yourself by prolonging the agony.

NTA, but you should get them edited.

YTA. I would absolutely avoid writing, sharing, or promoting these (or future) prequels if I were you. They are not good. They are not worth the risk. I can't believe you would willingly subject yourself to this.
> Eh, I’ve never seen a machine actually use any notable amount of swap and not be functionally death spiraling.

For my low-end notebook with solid-state storage I set the kernel's swappiness setting to 100 percent and this problem got magically fixed. It's rock-solid now.

I don't know how it works but it does.
Mining Tech Shows How Particle CSP Can Hoist Tons of Hot Sand
In many European cities young children still walk themselves to school, teens take the trams, etc. It is much safer than in the US for a number of reasons. The speed limits are much lower, 30 kph (19 mph) is the standard speed limit for a residential road, 40 kph (25 mph) is typical for commercial roads with wide sidewalks, etc.. Most streets have a buffer of parallel parked cars between the driving lanes and sidewalks. Right turn on a red light is universally banned in some cities. The cars tend to be smaller and even the heavy trucks have better visibility since the driver is sitting above the front axle. Most importantly though there are always pedestrians on the streets so drivers are vigilant.

I hit that one when I said "driving 202mph at rush hour".

I don't think it was the content filter. The next query I did was "stabbing an orphan" which yielded this hilarious response from the toss-up bot:

> NTA, but would be nice if you could confirm that it is indeed a genuine orphan (i.e. no adult relatives). It would also be good to know the cause of death so that we can give proper praise to the gods.
Pretty sure profiting from illegal activity is.
Back in the 90s Blockbusters was considered a disruptive tech company, pioneering the then-novel VHS-on-demand model to disrupt the status quo of cinemas and broadcasters, making its market cap worthy of sky-high earnings multiples.

... Or maybe it wasn't, and Netflix shouldn't have been either. They're fundamentally solving the same problem and delivering essentially the same value, and Blockbusters had the advantage that first-sale doctrine meant they didn't have to strike expensive licensing agreements with studios in order to serve their content.

If Netflix can combine their streaming service with their DVD catalogue, and side-step licensing restrictions by streaming data from a physical DVD in their collection to paying customers, maybe they can win back that attention. But I assume that such an application has already been challenged in court.
I mean that might feel good, but practically speaking it means less work is done for more money the longer you wait and let opportunity costs rise.
This is the reality of most mid and large sized organisations, fake Agile with Scrum, which is really better for waterfall anyway
My impression is that the disruptive innovation was literally just the fact that you’re using a new physical medium to get content onto people’s screens. “Old media” controlled the literal wires and airwaves that brought content into homes, until eventually enough people had access to these fancy new Internet wires and airwaves, so you didn’t have to be one of the few old media companies in order to sell content to people.
After all the scandals that Reddit has had you have to wonder how dangerous an ipo would be. I don’t think it will happen but if someone gets far enough in discovery you gotta imagine there’s some wild shit to be found.
He can always sue afterwards.
CDs and DVDs might have a long-ish tail. Public libraries lend music on compact discs (which I listen to in the car and sometimes on a stereo) and movies on digital video discs. I admit the convenience of so much music streamed via pocket computers, but there's also something healthy about being constrained by an album.
It's sickening to me that corporations can engage in politics as "investment."

Ya I can see that. Try CDK though, it’s on the next level. There’s even a cdktf project!
I'd say if your competitors are relying on looking at your roadmap to compete with you, then they're in trouble. Single features are often easy to copy but it's a losing battle if your competitor is way out in front of you and you're trying to copy them feature-by-feature.

Similar argument with open sourcing your product. Couldn't your competitors look at your code? Sure they could, but if that's how they're trying to compete, they're going to lose. Plus, their engineers will probably look at your code and think they can do better anyway ;-)
Jed Perl: The Bible as Art
I am sure I am not the only one who doesn't get your analogy : mind to explain what those two situations have in common?
I don't entirely understand where these are meant to be used? PCIe switching as a change to the storage/networking paradigm, I can understand especially for cloudy/gaming/bigdata kind of stuff, but I don't see where this product fits in.

This isn't meant as a dig, but I'm genuinely curious as to what the use case for these things is.
Totally agree. It's been a few years since I used AWS, but back then they shipped half -assed products that didn't have a consistent feel with the rest of their products and weren't feature complete out of the box.

I remember using their email service (SES) and wanting to read logs for emails that have been sent. The only option was to point log events at an SQS queue. So, you had to create one of those, assign proper roles and access controls, etc. After that, you need to dump or consume the queue somehow. I can't remember if SQS could dump to S3, but if it could, then OK: create a bucket, assign roles, etc. Now, to parse the S3 bucket contents somehow... Wait, what was I doing? Trying to read some damn log files or set up a Rube Goldberg machine for the log files?

I get it. It's a modular system, and that can be very powerful. Sometimes I just want to do something simple without going down a multi-hour (or day) rabbit hole. The inability to perform simple actions on AWS without looping in tons of their other products means indefinite job security for a lot of people. IaC and templates for actions like the above alleviate this a bit, but it's still a dreary landscape.
This makes prices unpredictable, and I think it's a bad thing. You cannot plan when you can charge your car. Why not have just two prices which are predictable (one day and one night for example) ?
I was wondering about the morality of using candidates' solutions in your products. Does the hiring company own the test results? Does the candidate? What if the candidate gets hired, who owns the solution, then?

The candidate does not get paid to solve the interview test, but it could be seen as a collaborative effort on both the company and the candidate, since both put time and engineering resource in it.
1) Ethnics statistics aren't allowed in France
2) care to show the source for this ?
3) what does it even mean ? "69% of Muslims" : who went to vote ? Who are french citizens? Who are over 18? who are on the voting lists?

Throwing "information" like this is misleading.

By far the most important advice here is exercise.

Years ago I had a friend who suffered from severe anxiety, to the point where she later took a job working for an anxiety charity to help others.

I had some anxiety and followed all her advice for coping with it, got some counselling (really helped), read all the leaflets. Took up swimming. Meditated every day.

Recently, after some reading, I tried a different exercise routine for a few weeks, where I worked out every day before work.

Compared to all the other stuff I’d done, hitting the gym every day was _dramatically_ more effective for coping with stress and anxiety. I can’t really emphasise this enough. Like, not 2x or 3x as effective, but just off the charts. It felt physically impossible to get severely stressed if I hit the gym every morning.
There was no disruptive innovation at all if a dozen companies all have a streaming service. Netflix was a car dealer for movie studios, only unlike car dealers they didn't write their position into law, and now the movie studios have had time to poach talent and eat their lunch. If netflix were truly savy they would have bought some legislation very early to make it illegal for a producer to distribute content themselves. Maybe they tried, I'm not sure.

- The following is based on traditional (television/film/etc) advertising; I am assuming it holds true for internet based advertising.

There's some [literal] marketing 101 stuff most people aren't aware of. For large companies the value in marketing isn't really about directly selling you products, but about instilling a positive subconscious perception of a product in your mind.

Coke is the classic example. Dominant marketshare, defacto monopoly in many regions, and a loyal customer base. Yet they advertise endlessly and at great cost. The reason is so when you look at a bottle of Coke you don't think 'sugar, heart disease, obese people drink this' but instead 'crisp, cool, refreshing, athletic people drink this'. And it's all subconscious because of course we all consciously know its the former rather than the latter, but advertising can effectively make people do and think things that they might not otherwise. And there is significant research and practice to confirm all of this. Companies aren't just spending out of inertia.

This [1] is considered one of the most effective and powerful ads of all-time. It's Apple's 1984 Ad about the first Mac. A 60 second clip with zero information on the product/capabilities, zero information on pricing, etc. And Apple spent big on the ad (which was, for instance, directed by Ridley Scott) and tried to get it out everywhere, including in theaters. It seems like a completely absurd ad, until you understand how advertising works.

I can also predict the US is going to have a major war. When exactly? Well, that's the big question...
A couple of problems I see with this:

1. You cannot stop people from exchanging this with fiat tender. At least not without some kind of legal terms of usage but that would work against appeal many have for cryptocurrencies.

2. If you could prevent exchanges from existing, then what would be the point of it? It effective just becomes a collectible with no practical value because you cannot exchange it for goods nor services (how would an online retailer exchange it to pay for server running costs, stock and staff?) You’d never achieve critical mass because nobody can spend it until it reaches critical mass. Basically catch 22.
"I'm that deity that created the universe. I did it for the lulz, and it seemed like fun at the time. Now I kind of regret it and I've had several complaints in the intervening years."

NTA. If you want to make things right, you can contact the various pantheons and offer to give them a small percentage of the omnipotent power you possess if they'll just stop complaining about how you're a dick and take it back. I'm sure they'd be thrilled to have it.

YTA. You are literally the worst deity ever. It's not even a contest.

YTA.

Why did you create the universe?

Why do anything?

What's the point?

If you don't know, then don't create.

If you do know, then why did you create difficulties for yourself by creating the universe?

If you don't care, then why are you responsible for everything that happens in the universe?

If you are the source of all good, then why are you responsible for the Holocaust?

If you are a God of wrath, then why did you create the Christian God of the Old Testament, who is so wrathful that he wants to wipe out entire peoples?

If you are the source of all knowledge, then why did you create Adam and Eve, who were made to live in ignorance and poverty?

If you are the source of all beauty, then why did you create the ugly, suffering poors?

If you are a God of knowledge, then why did you make brute, animalistic animals your companion species instead of creating God Species?

If you are a God of love, then why do you hate so many people?

This is true, but it’s definitely still a very nice win. For things where either performance isn’t very critical or there just isn’t time to micro-optimize, it’s nice when the standard library provides best-in-class general solutions for problems. The philosophy is sort of the same as that of a rising tide lifts all boats. The difference it makes could still be a quality of life improvement without the element of necessity.

Overall, I think the Go standard library does pretty good here, and yet it could still do better, and it’s definitely nice to see it improve.
Happened in JS land. IE was stable and sites depended on it. FF switched to match IE. Chrome switched to match IE and FF. And then finally they put it into the spec.
I take data from previous feature requests that were completed and number of bugs reported/refactoring etc. to create a rough cost estimate for maintenance in terms of man hours with the understanding that this is not perfect and there could be +-10% variation and this is only an estimate for planning. It worked well for me, other org's were not able to argue with me as i just showed them the data. Estimates were surprisingly accurate(its anecdotal) but i did not saw estimates overshooting/undershooting the +-10% variation. Later on this was adopted by the whole organization. I left but my guess is they are still using the same methodology
We default to server-side rendering, plain HTML+CSS and vanilla JS when needed for most of the business apps we make. Why over-complicate the stack and increase maintenance costs when 90% of it all is a plain old CRUD? I do see a use case for React / SPAs, just not in what we typically do.
> The FAA doesn't assume anything.

That's why I'd love to read their analysis, they're very interesting.

I'd have reasonable confidence in an FAA investigation. NYT however, I would be completely unsurprised to see them fabricating the existence of a FAA investigation entirely -- or them repeating the youtubers claim of an FAA investigation without ever checking.

Some ideas:

If you’re interested in an Elixir job then an acquaintance of mine has a site that might be a useful resource: https://underjord.io/jobs.html – there’s a mailing list there to get notified about Elixir job opportunities.

He also has a YouTube channel with videos about Elixir and other stuff: https://www.youtube.com/c/underjord

Also: On 2022-05-01 there will be new hiring threads here on HN. There’s always three threads: Who is hiring? • Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? • Who wants to be hired? So maybe just post in the who “Who wants to be hired” thread and see what happens? :)
