> There is no need for Twitter to signal-boost the idiotic shit this person says.

This is an important point. They could let him back without boosting his voice. In general, whether it's Trump or not, if the algorithm could boost fact checked statements only, that would be a win. I think both sides need better exposure to the facts that are typically not seen in their echo-chambers. We need to separate politics and facts if we want to sew this country back together. Facts are apolitical.

If only Americans reignited their imagination and didn't just settle on having a few big cities in opposite corners of the country.

America is huge. There's land everywhere. Start dreaming. China has 160 cities with 1+ million people. We have 10. Granted, there is a massive population difference, but we should most definitely have more than 10.

There are major issues when you only have a few cities with the bulk of the opportunity and high salaries for given fields. It stymies growth for the rest of the country, and for all the people we claim to care about: the poor and uneducated.

Greece has this issue with Athens being the only realistic metropolitan location. All the resources are there, and those left in the villages and small towns are finding it harder and harder to advance. If you aren't going to Athens (or immigrating to another country), you aren't succeeding. This is a big problem.

I think it's not clearly spelled out in the summary, but it strongly implies that it has created a disconnect between preferences and outcomes. People's preference for increased inequality leads to increased inequality which is taken prima facie as a bad thing.

Your thinking is literally the definition of the problem.

I really only faced rudeness when I was a junior engineer and didn't know better. I was brought in for a round of interviews and there was rudeness in two of the early interviews. I quickly lost interest in the company. (One interviewer was very rude about my working solution, and another interviewer was rude to a junior member of the staff.) When the recruiter followed up with me, I didn't have the maturity to give a frank report about the staff.

~20 years later, I should have politely left after one of the sessions. I should have found the hiring manager, told him that "I don't see myself working out well here," and then given much more candid feedback to the recruitment agency.

But also, from that experience, I've learned to guide candidates more if they don't give me the answer I'm looking for. Specifically, if a candidate writes what I think is a sub-optimal solution, I'll say something like "can you make it faster?" or "can you make it more robust?" I never expect a candidate to read my mind the first time, especially if the candidate is feeling overwhelmed.

If I was in your situation, I probably wouldn't have walked out right away. If I was turned off the company, I'd have stayed until a break between sessions. If I was still interested or curious, I'd have discussed this particular employee with the hiring manager or HR rep.

I've only "walked out" of an interview once; it was a phone screen and it very quickly was obvious that I wouldn't be happy there. I told the interviewer that I really liked their product, (I really did,) and I wished them luck. (I really did wish them good luck too.)
> thought "AirCover" was already the standard?

Nope. Rented an Airbnb in Austin. Pool was a mess to the point of being unusable; host was noncommunicative. Complained to Airbnb. Gave the host five stars, but left them a note. Host left a negative comment on my profile. Airbnb refused to remove. Refused to provide even a modicum of a refund.
Is signed char and unsigned char subject to the same "can alias anything" rule? I never bothered to think about this in the past. Now I'm not sure. I've known that the three types are distinct, but that just means that that the rule doesn't have to apply to all of them, not that it doesn't.
If you're doing tech stuff to replace some kind of human, manual labor then I think this applies regardless of your sector or growth rating. Tech enables companies to do more with less -- at lesat, that's the dream -- and I suspect that if the economics aren't favorable for tech they'd rather have cheap expendable labor.

We are the practitioners realizing that dream for our masters.
Man it's a scary state of affairs when people unflinchingly support execution of a President that literally didn't incite a riot. And that they think it was a genuine attempt at a coup.

All I'm saying is, I think it's pretty obvious which side has most of the guns in this day in age. I don't recall seeing many armed that day. Actually I don't recall hearing about any. Except for, of course, all the obvious undercover agents watching it unfold. Who in their right mind attempts a coup without arms? I guess by having the police let them in the doors?

I changed my mind on it a bit when Biden popped up; I realised so much of what was funny/poked fun at in Trump were traits of Biden's (albeit less exaggerated perhaps) too, that really it's just a certain sort of American and sure maybe Trump's a bit of a caricature of it but it made him a bit less uniquely crazy how on Earth did that happen in my eyes.

Like Jeremy Corbyn's pretty far left wing, but politics aside he had a chance at being PM of the UK for a bit; maybe he would've seemed like a strange bumbling old man in other parts of the world, but here he's a recognisable type of person if you see what I mean, not massively unusual.

I just ended up thinking it was an attack on his (Trump's) character; that it worked so well outside of the USA because it's an unfamiliar one. But that's not fair, could even be called racist, and isn't on the basis of anything meaningful like actual policy etc. - which I know next to nothing about and seldom saw anything of substance reported on it; so I just disengaged from it really.
These are complicated topics. The people buying crypto at Coinbase are not sophisticated investors.

It is entirely reasonable to believe that a large proportion of Coinbase users would read, "We have no risk of bankruptcy" and choose to leave their money at Coinbase believing that the CEO must have used some financial mechanism to 100% prevent bankruptcy.

Words have meaning, and when you say, "no risk of bankruptcy" there are a lot of people that will be duped into believing that literally.
Agree! And in senior roles, it is still much easier to make personal connections, grow networks, and build consensus with at least some personal face time.

Is your work in tech supposed to hold a sacred scalar linear multiple of the average labor cost ( read: salary of people who produce food and goods) of life’s necessities?

So many entitled people arguing for an economic caste system…

Arguing that your wage should always match or beat inflation is arguing for defacto permanent income inequality. You’re literally saying your work is always the same amount more valuable than the average labor cost increase incorporated into inflation numbers.

Some people do but usually the "have your lawyer" phrase means "find a lawyer who specializes in this area and contact them". Still, the point still stands, it's expensive and time consuming to even begin the process of engaging an attorney if you haven't done so before.

Yeah, countries you can work in is pretty important here (even if slightly contrary to some of the spirit of remote).
I think there is another element involved - there is the desire not to ripped off. Many luxury goods are aesthetically pleasing, but total rip offs. Take the ridiculous fad of designer shower sandals/slides, an adidas one costs $25-$35 [1] a Gucci one ~$400 [2] but both probably cost about $5. The point I’m making is if you want Gucci slides (for whatever reasons), and you’re galled by the markup, replicas would seem to “solve” your problem (putting aside all other problems it creates).

Is this really anything new? I think most people who actually talk with their neighbors about various topics can see that most people aren't as extreme as their party is represented to be in the media.

There are hundreds of millions of party members. Did anyone truly think that a member of either party supports every policy the party supports, or that there are different factions within the party that take opposing stances on specific issues? There's no way we're able to fully map 100M to 1 on an innumerable amount of topics/solutions.
Money came from global trade. That trade could be possible there because the pre-Deng governments prepared a very skilled workforce. In order to have usable skills, one needs to be fed, clothed, educated, in relatively good health, housed and should be able to get to their workplace.

Governments investing on critical infrastructure, and basic services that give a foundation of opportunity is a precondition to growth led by industrialization/trade.

This thread is about how the governments can use their money and power to uplift the underprivileged, and not about mechanisms for the government to make money. It is a conversation on leaving the poor to "market forces" vs. governments ensuring basics to the impoverished.

As far as large American cities go, Chicago is extremely child friendly and child-focused. The attendance area for the neighborhood schools are small. Chicago Public Schools has an excellent mapping tool - don't trust the real estate listings. They lie.

City employees in Chicago are required to live inside the city. The northwest side has a heavy concentration. On one block every third house will be a policeman or fireman. On another block it will be streets and san workers. Then teachers. Etc. It does affect the character of the block :)

Have any of the problems that led people to use Postgres instead of SQLite actually been solved? Are we doomed to repeat the same mistakes?

Also, any plans to support PATCH x-update-range so SQLite can be used entirely in the browser via SQLite.js?

Can someone enlighten me with the types of use cases this would be better for vs say Postgres?
Well, it's sqlite... so presumably you will get most of the capabilities sqlite has.

RETURNING is covered.

Stored procedures are indirectly there by running your own code "next to the database", as mentioned in the post. Which is arguably much nicer than having to use some database specific language, given that you can run WASM on workers.

> it makes sense that if coinbase goes bankrupt, the customer currencies will go away as well

Others have said this, but just to reiterate : this is quite wrong. This is like saying that because you hold Amazon stock via a Schwab brokerage account, if Schwab were to declare bankruptcy, then you would lose your Amazon stock. Needless to say that wouldn't happen because you are the owner of the stock, not Schwab.

FDIC insurance covers a totally different scenario where the money you deposit doesn't really exist (lent to someone else in the meantime).

What makes sense is that Coinbase isn't the owner of customers' crypto assets. This thread is about the fact that apparently that's _not_ necessarily true.
> but much more limited

I agree and I disagree ;)

I agree because having a type system that directly provides the guarantee that whole classes of runtime error cannot happen provides fast feedback during development at a low cost.

I disagree because even in a press button (+ tuning) approach, you can prove things with Frama-C that the Rust compiler cannot prove (reason why there is runtime bound-checking, implementation defined behavior for integer overflow and so on in Rust). But also because you can prove much more advance properties than "just" absence of runtime errors.

Can anyone tell me how to set up a wallet on my Mac in order to get my coins off coinbase. Is there any clear guide on how to do that. Every link on Google seems to be spam or downloading potentially malicious software.

It's very fustrating because so many people seem to know how to set up a wallet on their computer/Mac however I cannot for the life of me find a clear wallet to download and move my funds to or a guide on how to do it.

If I downloaded this - https://bitcoin.org/en/download - is that a way to do it? I can't download this in the UK, so is it safe to download it via a VPN and install it that way?

Thank you so much to anyone who sees this and replies.

So, none. I've never even met one I think. And I don't think that's quite rare?
And to think, people working in IT actually get raises, and can earn more money by changing jobs; they are already quite privileged compared to those earning closer to minimum wage (like 30K a year?), given that said minimum wage hasn't been increased from $7.25 in 13 years now, while cost of living and inflation HAS gone up.

One issue is that while costs of products, housing, etc is adjusted pretty much instantly with supply, demand and inflation, wages aren't. When inflation numbers are introduced, companies jump to announce they're raising prices, citing cost of resources or... whatever. But they don't increase wages.

How often have wages gone up at a rate higher than inflation? I can't remember it. So basically people are expected to continue living on a currency that is decreasing in value constantly. Or they're expected to switch jobs or grow in their career, not to have a better life, but just to be able to maintain their current lifestyle.

Remember these tropes from the 80's and 90's and before where people bought a sizeable house, one or two cars, and put money away to put their kids (they could afford kids too) through college, all on a single income? Yyyyeeeaahhh. actually I don't know if that was the case for most people, it's what sitcoms depicted.
People in almost all tech companies are not going to be paying $1000 a month for insurance. I know self employed people paying less than that for a family of 4.

My wife pays a little more then $200 a paycheck for a family of 4 for a non high deductible plan. At my worst job it would’ve been $700 for a family of 4 with a $100 spousal surcharge (only if they could get other insurance through their work).
Do you know why El Salvador adopted BitCoin? Previously they used the US dollar as their currency, because no one had any faith in a Salvadoran currency, even their own citizens. But doing this is basically meant that ES was paying tribute to the US, since the dollar continually loses value as more are created. US citizens at least get some benefit when the government prints trillions of dollars, in the form of government handouts; ES residents just get screwed.

Yes, but you have to be very careful about the slippery slope here and how you measure things. I personally find that I sleep about the same regardless of how miserable I am at work, which means I get no quality change from roughly eight hours a day. My commute doesn't change in quality either and four many people that commute is 1 hour each way. Some people will find some other numbers that are important to subtract here. In the extreme, you'll find that an extra hour a day of work but reducing the misery of your work can result in 1 good hour of free time instead of 2 mediocre hours of free time. For most people things aren't quite that extreme but it's certainly not anything resembling 15 vs 16.
Relatedly, why can't I get a simple USB-C hub? I have four USB-C ports on my laptop and I need six. Back in the USB-A days, I'd just get a $30 hub and four new full speed ports at the cost of one on the laptop.
But now if I want three more full speed ports, I have to get a four port dock/hub that costs $179 and has to get plugged into the wall.

I'd be happy paying the $179, as long as I was sure the stupid thing did everything the port on my laptop does. And didn't require external power.

Right now, we're paying the $179, unsure if it actually does what we think (because the specs are so insane), and it's less usable. USB-C, in practice, is a giant step backwards. In theory, it's amazing, and when it works, it really is amazing, but holy crap, what a bowl of spaghetti.
I don't understand why someone would laugh at Scheme, but it's a minor thing. I would ask what's funny about it and ask him what's his favourite language.

Where does the author imply microservices? This seems more like a highlevel structure that could be implemented however you want.
Sure, but it doesn't seem written as if it will be handled the same way, but for the owner it is. That one morning you get into the car and it has applied an update. You look at the changelog or what that list should be called, and it will say "new fart in Dolby Stereo" or "Fixes for display".

So if you want to get anti-EV people riled up, you can write it up as if it was super important to have the middle screen show stuff and that 170k EV cars will have to line up outside of service places, when in fact the next fart-update will also have something to not screw up the screen in some cases.

Perhaps it is just "this is how car news was written up when I learned the trade of writing about cars long time ago" or something, but when cars (and cell phones and tons of other devices) have OTA updates things change and it would be nice if journalists could be within 10 years of the news they write about.

Having to "recall" 170k cell phones by having them brought to the shop again for some firmware update would be news in 2022. Having the cell phone update over night and ask you if it should restart for update has zero news value. Noone would buy magazines that post an article everytime an IOS or Android brand phone sees an update as if it was anything important in itself.
American cities don't ban housing construction (the one exception being San Francisco/Bay Area). Every other major US metro (literally everyone except SF) has been experiencing a massive housing construction boom for the past ten years straight now.
Although Rust doesn't have this rule it isn't nearly as relevant due to the way immutable (shared) references work. While `a: &Foo` and `b: &Bar` may alias it doesn't matter much because Rust knows that nothing can write to them so it can do basically all of the optimization it needs. Rust also knows that `c: &mut T` doesn't alias with anything so in this case it can make loads of assumptions.

One chink in this rule is interior mutability. This is why it is better to think of `&T` as a shared reference than an immutable reference. For example in the following code Rust can't assume that `a.get() == 5`. (Even if the second argument is changed to i8)

pub fn test(a: &std::cell::Cell<u8>, b: &std::cell::Cell<u8>) -> u8 {
a.set(5);
b.set(7);
a.get()
}

https://rust.godbolt.org/z/e1c6Kx4eb

Commenting out the write to b does allow Rust to hardcode the return value as 5.
