> A lot of people working on one code base over the top of each other often causes problems and issues with ownership.

Microservices don't fix this. If I'm working on a feature in a monolith and I need to modify code someone else is also working on for some other feature that same situation would occur in a microservices based app. Just because the code is in a different git repo, and called with via an RPC doesn't change the fact that you need to change it.

Most software is monolithic, and most critical software is millions lines of code that hundreds or thousands of people have worked on - all without using microservices.
USD doesn’t have a yield either, and if I wanted to refer to the yield you’re describing here, I’d refer to the specific instrument that generates the yield (eg government bonds of a particular duration) rather than the yield on the invested asset itself.

What instruments did you mean for USDT and USD?

One of my favourite teachers at school noted this phenomenon long before streaming was a thing. He said that once he got a favourite film on DVD he actually watched it less. Whereas before he would watch it whenever it was on TV, he can now watch it whenever he wants, so why watch it ever?

I've noticed a related phenomenon: too much choice induces anxiety. If there are like 5 films showing in the cinema it's usually obvious which one to pick. Maybe I'll watch another later in the week. But now I can watch any film ever made and I often find it hard to choose because there is a fear of missing out on all the other films I could have chosen.
Also if we allow teachers to teach about any topics due to freedom of speech. Is that necessarily a good thing or even something we want? This could lead very varying things being taught and probably some that one side agrees and some that other side agrees with...

I think age appropriate centrally planned general plan what should be taught is entirely reasonable. Anything else just leaves to mess and unevenness.

> the interpretation of the Second Amendment as granting an individual the right to have personal guns independent of a militia is a very recent interpretation

IIRC, in colonial America, the militia was understood as basically "all male citizens," and its members typically used personal weapons.

That makes the text and structure of the Second Amendment make a lot of sense: if a militia is necessary for security, and an armed populace is required for a militia, then to protect the militia you have to protect the right of the populace to be armed.

Definitely read this article, and click on the "opportunity map" link. You can filter and see what impact the neighborhood has on earning potential, childhood pregnancy rates, incarceration rates and more. It's fascinating.

All this is based on census data. I feel like we are in a moment where demographics and neighborhoods are changing radically because of COVID and the work-from-home opportunities.

I bet the next ten years we will see radically different communities in many of these regions, especially the warm ones. Miami is seeing 58% increase in rents (https://therealdeal.com/miami/2022/04/14/miami-leads-nation-...) and what will a bunch of rich tech/finance people do to the kids in those neighborhoods?

I would be very curious to hear from people raised in the south; the opportunity map is not kind to that region. What's wrong about this information?

Agree. In Germany, some Mittelstand companies do offer employee stock options which allow you to buy a certain quota of stocks per month at a pre-negotiated price which is typically much lower than market value. The idea is that over time, employees can choose to reinvest their salary into the company, thereby becoming partial owners.

I wonder if we already saw some effects in Europe in 2021/2022. 2021 was a normal rain year for the first time in many years. The spring in 2022 is the first normal spring in many years: Temperatures rise gradually, as opposed to going from 0 to 25 degrees in a couple of days.

I know that the sample is too small, but the difference is striking.
Supabase real time is open source while firebase is not.

If you pin (you don't have to) an app to the taskbar, you can hit [Win] + [index num] on the keyboard and it switches to app at that index. Keep hitting the num key and you switch between the windows of that app.

Pinning the app will assign it an index (the icon won't change position) so you can switch to windows of your editor with Win+2 and windows of file explorer with Win+1 without even looking at the taskbar, for example.

Here's a detailed description from HowToGeek[0]:

> Press the Windows key along with a number key to launch the corresponding app. On the taskbar above, for example, Windows+3 would launch Google Chrome, Windows+4 would launch Slack, and so on all the way up through Windows+0 for Outlook. Using these keyboard shortcuts on an app that’s already running will toggle the app between a minimized and maximized state.

> You can also hold down Shift while using those shortcuts to launch a new instance of an app that’s already running. In our example, pressing Shift+Windows+3 would open a new window for Chrome, even if Chrome is already open.

> Using the Ctrl key with those shortcuts displays the most recently launched instance of an app. For example, say you had three File Explorer windows open on your PC, and File Explorer was in the first position on your taskbar. Pressing Ctrl+Windows+1 would show you the File Explorer window you most recently opened.

> You have to trust scientists to implement science properly.

We fundamentally disagree as to what science is. I think it’s the recursive application of the scientific method in a way that admits falsifiability at every level, and allows one to independently verify — and rely on independent verification — without having to trust scientists instead of science.

If multiple independent scientists perform the same experiment and achieve the same results, I’m trusting in the science — the methodology — not the scientists.

However, you seem to fundamentally misunderstand science, particularly the fact that it exists as a continual and open process.

The scientific process is incompatible with your faith-based system of belief, which admits the enforcement of orthodoxy as a necessity, despite that doing so eliminates falsifiability, and is thus inherently anti-scientific.

You are of course free to proselytize your religious sciencism and its faith-based orthodoxy, but it’s inaccurate to pretend to the trappings of actual science.

We’ll just have to agree to disagree. I’ll never support anti-science ideology, including the suppression of viewpoints inconvenient to your orthodoxy.
If you’re able to pick successes with 90% accuracy at the stage where they’d benefit from this level of investment, I’d like to borrow your crystal ball.
Are dependencies that run on your development machine any less of a maintenance or security concern?
Not to mention that most older folks can navigate in places they are semi-familiar without a need for a device at all. Most Gen Z drivers are basically incapable of conceptualizing a map of an area in their head and completely dependent on a device to tell them where to go.
Debian already maintains hundreds of signed NodeJS packages using classic PGP web of trust, with a team of volunteers that lack NPM microsoft money. I don't understand how NPM has any excuses at this point

The web of trust PGP signing approach works reasonably well to protect most linux servers in the world since the 90s. You can complain about it and say there should be a better UX toolchain for it, and I would agree with you. Thankfully the sequioa-pgp team has made huge progress here and it is a shame they are not getting due support for their heroic and near thankless efforts to make this better.

Still, even with todays GnuPG tools, abandoning pgp for supply chain integrity and replacing it with nothing is crazy. Imagine if we abandonded TLS because early implementations sucked. Use the best tools we have then fight to make them better. That's just good engineering.

The software eng commuity at large basically said "Look we just stopped signing code and nothing bad happened... oh wait bad things are happening. Too late to change now!"

This was a reasonably well solved problem, but entities like NPM will need to have the humility to admit that rejecting best effort cryptographic authorship attestation was a mistake.

> You can handle the high stakes carefully, you can want the pregnancy, and still wind up in need of an abortion.

I hear this a lot, and it's currently a popular "wedge scenario" pro-abortion advocates are using to try to convince people that abortion shouldn't be outlawed.

But I think it's largely a red herring. Either the baby is still alive, or it's not. A high view of human life rules out all intentional taking of life, including assisted suicide. It would also rule out these types of abortions, as they are taking life at a time when life would not end naturally.

Valuing human life highly means accepting that while some people are different, we are all equally valuable -- even those who have birth defects or who die as an infant. And people with Down's syndrome are as equally valuable as those who don't.

Probably user error, but I can't ever seem to get apples maps to orient with the car like Google's automatically does.
I've been bitten by this recently and I think it's because they're still following paper map rules for labels - like they'll[1] put the street name halfway down the street even if you're zoomed into the first 5% of it because that's what you'd do on a paper map and it would work fine there.

(I'd also like the option for bigger / contrastier labels and a way to turn off all the business names because 99% of the time I don't want them cluttering up the map when I'm just flaneuring about London.)

one of the worst states
We trust in the humans to implement the science. Because the science itself is often wrong in ways that we trust humans to correct.

You also do not have a nozzle labeled "scientific results" which come out whole formed from an abstract machine.

It's a messy, human process. Variously helped and hindered by awful human politics. You trust humans to get the truth out, as close as they can, as quickly as they can.

You have this romanticized version of "science" which is just not the real world at all.

Do you have any idea how many times scientific reports were censored? How often scientists had to risk their livelihood to publish results?

So you paint trusting scientists as a straw-man orthodoxy. You treat it as though it's uncritical, when nothing could be further from the truth. It's because we recognize that we're forced to rely on scientists, that we are especially critical of them. That we worry so much about how they are funded and influenced. That we watch out for their results being censored.

Science itself doesn't provide legal protections for whistle-blowers. But those legal protections are critical to protect scientists. Because science is messy. And you honestly seem to not get that.

I don't trust government. I trust my representatives. Because I can hold them accountable. In the abstract, sure, you can trust the Constitution. But you're forced, by reality, to trust human agents to uphold the Constitution.
after being down ~40% this week.
Right, where I think you're seeing pushback is on the idea that you can reasonably get anything resembling 9/10. Think about what that's saying: we're talking about businesses doing 8 figures of annual revenue. If there's a playbook for reliably creating those --- "reliably" meaning "you can build a portfolio of them run by different people serving different markets, and make money" --- what is that playbook? Getting a 10MM/yr company off the ground is not a small achievement.

Bear in mind also that as you scope down the size of the companies you're starting, you necessarily also have to scope down the investment (these companies have, obviously, much smaller valuations, meaning $1MM of equity buys a much bigger chunk of the company). But companies today take A-B-round-scale investments to get to 8 figures ARR. You get those investments by targeting a much, much higher ARR.

This thesis doesn't hold up for me, I feel like I have to be missing something.

Probably little to no effect, but I'd hope it's slightly more effective than just tweeting a hashtag (which is arguable simpler than my "simplest" suggestion) because it will actually pierce the techie anti-privacy bubble and be heard by/bother the .

To be honest, I'd wager that most of the benefit in doing something as little as sending copy-pasted emails is that it increases the probability of the protester doing a more meaningful action in the future (by generating some cognitive dissonance, by reinforcing a positive internal narrative, by weakening the illusion of powerlessness, etc.).
> Google tries to send me on wild boondoggles literally all the time. It sends me off highway in an attempt to avoid traffic

That's odd, that's my biggest complaint with Apple Maps, and I feel Google rarely does it.
So it refers to enough cash/credit to weather a storm?
I wouldn't put any stake into a truly permanent solution. Even if you strictly limit who you give your physical address to, or personal cell number, it'll probably leak out somehow with enough time. (ex. Your name, phone and address get stored in a 3rd parties address book outside of your control...)

So you take it to an extreme. For example, grandma probably needs to know your address if she's ever to visit you, but everyone else gets a PO box. Maybe only your spouse really needs to know your actual cell phone number, everyone else can get a proxy. But that takes time and money to maintain (emphasis on time).

>managing 80% of the info in double that time (20%) would surprise me.

This isn't particularly difficult. If you skip the pleasantries at the start and end of a talk and use a playback rate of 4x, you'll more or less get that 20% duration. 4x is quite understandable (once you're used to it) given how slowly people giving talks tend to talk. Though if a talk is really dense in terms of content, you might have to go slower just to give your brain a chance to digest the information. Most tech talks aren't that dense, however.
Any type of reduction would be a huge deal. 0.5% net is more than most would dare to hope for.
