> [...] aggressively compromising on features and construction to meet deadlines and cut down on BOM costs, so I was very pleased to see no evidence of that

Tbh the team made the right decision to push the deadlines in order to deliver the quality they would be satisfied with. And I wholeheartedly support them in doing so.

I am totally ok with the device being delivered to me almost a year after the initially promised deadline, as long as that extra time went into getting the quality up to the level. So props to the team, I am happy that they actually took that time to polish up to the current level, instead of trying to meet an arbitrary deadline.

Their development blog played a heavy role in convincing me that they were not just stalling (which, sadly, has been my previous experience with quite a few promising hardware Kickstarted projects). Every single post has so much attention to even the most minuscule details that 90% wouldn't care for, it definitely reassured me that they were trying to be as transparent as possible about the whole process and their decision-making. I cannot say enough good things about writing quality of their dev blog posts. It was incredible and easy to digest, even for someone who hasn't worked much with such close-to-hardware level.
> In any situation the markets will do the best to optimize but will always fall short of perfection

The problem with markets is a "market efficient" outcome can be catastrophic for social welfare.

During the Irish potato famine the markets allocated food away from Ireland because there were not many there who could afford it. They starved. The market functioned perfectly.

Markets find equilibriums. Total collapse is an equilibrium. Starvation can happen at equilibrium.

You can have 100_000 homeless people at market equalibrium
I both feel it sucks while it also clearly is necessary. But I think they can make things more equitable and we need to invest money to increase access.

scarce back country permits for popular places should be a raffle system not refresh as fast as possible. That system would be hard for 2 night trips, but maybe set aside like 10% for that, let them allocate first, then open 1 nights.

imho give some chunk of preference to locals and sports/non car touring uses. E.g. RMNP climbing is my personal example. I've never had a problem getting in, but I also usually climb at night. The top parking lot is pretty small and filled up in the mornings. But people that have to carry gear should get preference, it's much easier to take the bus without gear. AND if you're staying later having to walk an extra couple miles with pads or bags bc the bus stopped sucks.

RMNP is also just a prime example of awfulness of crowds and people. There are one or two trails that almost all visitors go on. They don't venture out even though it's such a huge beautiful park.

Part of it is ease of trails. At least partially concrete and very short. But the facilities are disgusting just a few bathrooms and people sh*t on the floor...

People are awful, loud, littering, rude. Hard to fix that.

Would love to discourage car touring where people stop on roads you can't get around. Big % of people go to the big 4 and don't get out of their cars for more than a couple feet to intrude on animals for selfies.

Also cars are just awful polluters minimally try to minimize idling. Encourage people to actually get out in nature.

I get there accessibility issues that's an able est bias, hence building out more easy / paved loops.

We should definitely protect land and animals. But there is a huge amount of space to open up.

Building more facilities/enforcement would better protect the land too.

Maybe have some of those armed rangers who roll around in giant SUVs instead walk and stop littering (that's jest, it's crazy the amount of them that carry guns).

Especially if you bring in and build out forest service land.

Marketing might help too, there are so many amazing places that don't get traffic it's all going to the same few spots.
Seems a bit questionable if it's intentional, but maybe you've just gotten AB-punk'd and this is not an actual production feature?
A great write-up, but for me the cherry on top is footnote #7 that describes exactly what "SCE to AUX" actually did and how it managed to reset the telemetry when Apollo 12 was struck by lightning. Very cool to finally understand what happened.

I see the problem as too much credit is able to be spent with too little focus. So silly stuff is being funded because the money is becoming meaningless

Jesus yes. Economists treat all spending like it is equal in value. Stupidity.

I don't think this is the end of crypto. I expect it to become a permanent competitor to casinos and the lottery. So I hope that people who have been wiped out understand that they can jump in again someday and hopefully pick the next winner.
Multi stories have that problem (probably because of the shape of antennas designed), it can be easily solved by a gigabit ethernet cable and another AP.

While definitely not ideal, it's a solve-once-and-forget problem.
That's not necessarily (and probably isn't) sad, I can think of two general reasons for that to happen and it not be a problem:

- Growth, e.g. trivially everyone at a company that's yet to turn a profit

- Critical but not revenue-generating function

I mean basically that's 'line' and 'staff' from OP (but for line the subset of companies/teams that isn't profitable yet). The latter being a 'cost centre'.

If you don't like it ('what's sad is') then the article might be a useful approach/line of thought when looking for your next role - i.e. a 'line' job (at a profitable company on a team working on the profitable thing).
Elon Musk says Russia is ramping up cyberattacks on SpaceX's Starlink systems
I don't think discussing something that exists is "calling it out" or "normalizing" it. It's just discussing it and personally I think it is an interesting take that I hadn't seen phrased in this way before. Now I can think about how it impacts me personally in a new light. Definitely a net win.
Chesterton's fence is a real bitch, ain't it?
So in other words Russia is being Russia. But on the flip side, this serves as battle testing and hardening before Starlink becomes more widely used.
> I often google even very basic shit.

Ok but can you not write a pseudocode version of say fibonacci recursively? Like I don't dock people _just_ because their code doesn't compile and when I go to run it through a bunch of test cases I wrote, I'll fix compilation issues. So if you write `for(int i=0;` but the interview was in JS so `int` doesn't work I won't care.
The environment at the time life evolved was very, very different from today.

In particular, free oxygen was practically non-existent. Metals, particularly iron, and metal complexes were dissolved in the water at high concentration. Processes that spawned the first life had to be compatible with all of that, and may well have depended on many details of it, most of which we can barely imagine. The ancestors of everything alive today survived the arrival of free oxygen a billion or two years later, with the loss of most dissolved metals, leaving no trace of the overwhelming majority that failed to adapt to that.

Conditions today, even without competition from existing life, might be wholly unsuitable for biogenesis.
No sandboxing, so this is easy enough to do too :)

Since you guys seem to be using Rust, what client library do you recommend for MQTTv5 support?
Infrastructure from code is great, when your CI system generates the production diff and adds it to the code review. Then it's clear exactly what will get deleted. The deployment process also needs to be restartable and steps skippable. So for example, when a migration fails, you can perform it manually, re-deploy and skip the broken step. So far, no infrastructure-as-code tool works like this.

I know of only two tools that work effectively: Terraform & Pulumi. Terraform's config language has major flaws and Hashicorp is not interested in fixing them. For example, one cannot use a single Terraform config to create a database instance and a database inside it, or a VM and a server inside it, etc. So every application requires multi-stage configs which are full of footguns. Pulumi supports proper languages like Python & Golang and does not have this problem.

I would like to see a Rust version of Pulumi that uses static typing to eliminate run-time errors in infrastructure config. Maybe Shuttle will become that? It looks like they're integrating the web server with the infrastructure code. I think they should go in the opposite direction and make everything modular (usable separately) and composable. I want to write `deploy.rs` and run `cargo deploy`.
This isn't a matter of debt though, is it? The absolute worst case for a retail crypto investor is that they lose all of the money they put in. I can't imagine a bank signing off on a big loan to buy speculative assets.

So the money is already "paid back". Right?
I think one can have compassion but there is also no need to infantilize people. It's not idiocy that drives people to this, it's greed. It's the idea of obtaining wealth without work, of speculation, and the thrill of what is plainly gambling. That is a vice in many traditions for a reason, and we would do well rather than just being compassionate to create a culture that doesn't tolerate it.
Encouraging Crypto to fail, and encouraging politicians to ban exchanges, is the quickest way to cut CO2 emissions and reverse chip shortages.

From your other comments, it seems like you believe that housing prices are subject to supply and demand; is that accurate?

As in, failure to build enough supply for demand has driven up prices?

Do you also believe that labor is subject to the same forces of supply and demand?
> network of technically talented and diverse recent college graduates

There is something very ironic about that. We want "diversity" across irrelevant dimensions in an otherwise extremely narrowly defined group. How brave.
I really dislike using the phrasing oligarch, when you can compare it to actual oligarchs. People like putin and his close ‘friends’ who use and force economic downturns so they can buy up national companies and markets so they own most of it.

Musk/Bezos can’t ring up Biden and develop a scheme with him (or orchestrated by him) to seize more of the market and dictate politics. They have to use more subtle means.

This doesn’t mean that they have no sway, or that they’re not far more powerful than the average citizen. They just aren’t buddies with a dictator that enriches himself and them.
At one point it was possible to purchase the OED on a CD-ROM (https://www.oed.com/page/buy/loginpage), though in recent years the CD-ROM version has been discontinued in favor of subscriptions to the Web version. Every now and then I search eBay to see if anybody is selling their copy of the OED on CD-ROM.

For now I have the Shorter OED app for Windows 10, which suffices for me.

But pots remained, I am still taking drugs for it. I'll have it all my life. But I've found I can manage it through exercise.

Before antibiotics I was so tired that any amount of exercise would bed ridden me for weeks. I was very ill.

One could place a bet Asahi will get to such as stage at some point but at this stage you have to be a pretty die-hard tech nerd with a corner case usage scenario to claim it's "pretty usable" though. The speakers don't work, the USB ports won't work with 3.0 devices, the webcam doesn't work, the display brightness isn't adjustable, the touchbar doesn't work, and everything renders on the CPU since the GPU is unsupported killing the battery life. Eventually these things may be well supported or they may not.

European ebikes are also limited to a 250w motor. They must need much more to make this system work, so probably can’t be classified that way.
Not a whole lot to contribute on my end, but wanted to say: this is an excellent and well-factualized comment.
> If you're only picking what to work on, them how does anything get done? The people executing on that decision are the ones providing the tangible value.

The situation isn't quite as black and white as that. I'm not just sitting there picking randomly out of a list, I'm ensuring that the people who _are_ providing "tangibles" are providing tangibles in areas that are important to our company and team. Imagine a person can do 5 tasks per week, but they decide to focus on area A which is interesting to them, but not valuable to the project, and area B is something that actually benefits the team/project. By directing those people from area A to area B, you provide a huge value gain. Now consider the fact that I ensure that 10 people are working on area B insead of area A, not just 1. The value of my decision is proprtional to the value of the outcome of all of those people, and if I make a wrong call we're probably done for.

> I think it's stupid that people get paid obscene amounts for making some decisions and having fancy dinners with other big shots. Then they justify making 100x or 1000x what the actual workers do.

It's an enormous stretch to go from "people who execute those decisions create more value" to "people get paid obscene amounts for making some decisions and ahving fancy dinners/justify making 100x what the actual workers do". I did say in the comment you replied to that I'm not going to try justify the specific number, but as an early employee in a 25/30 person startup, you are not getting paid 100x what the people who do the work are for making some decisions.
Problem with regulation is that the term itself is ambiguous. What does it mean, who will do it, what are their limits and on what authority do they act?

I am not familiar with this specific crypto, but when I am offered to join a business that pays 19% in USD, I immediately know it can not possibly not fail. Regulations or not, you can't offer such dividend without major risk.

Then the subject of jurisdiction comes up. Who issued the tokens? If it is a USA company or person, it is one story, and they are likely already subject to some regulations. If it is an international community like ethereum, its another story. USA can probably ban it's distribution in USA, but not regulate.

Then, why would the regulations have to be mandatory? Organizations can voluntarily approach SEC and ask them to regulate the crypto they are about to issue. Submit to the appropriate rules and be an investor grade business. No new laws are really required for that. This way you could have trusted that if Luna fails, someone would go to jail. It's just wouldn't have been 19% dividend in that case, following rules comes with a price tag.
Including overcollaterized ones? They are not risk-free, but DAI has survived much worse market swings that the one from this week.

That's not a fair statement though. There is also the war in Europe, and the covid pandemic is not a solved problem, especially in China.

There are many more serious factors than simply a rate increase, each of which alone could lead to a recession, all of which come close to guaranteeing one.
Buying older hardware is also one of the few ways to have it be documented enough to be able to remove all of the crapware baked in by the manufacturers. Every laptop newer than the Thinkpad X230 is basically dead to me.
Meanwhile I have a house and was able to lift out of poverty by ignoring people like you and saving in BTC instead of USD for the last decade.

YMMV.
Probably because

1) I received multiple ranges from different people, the minimum got lower and the maximum didn't change.

2) Being told "we value transparency" and then told your salary can vary by over 100% for the same level felt like someone spiting in my face, kind of like like when a cable company says "Your time is important to us, please hold"

3) Total compensation is much more descriptive than salary. Ie; I read today that the new CEO of Amazon only got 175k in salary in 2021.
As much as I think LVT makes sense, having to go to some sort of annual auction for my own land does seem worse than just paying taxes. Along with that being a tedious process, that could put you at the mercy of malicious actors who may just dislike you and have enough cash to outbid you.

Any implementation would have to not include this for people to be able to have stable lives.
It is a fool's errand to use logic against such ignorant nonsense.

Instead, I encourage everyone to be fruitful and multiply. The sooner we reach 20 billion, the sooner nature will correct this catastrophic mistake for us.

as much so as "combat vs logistics".

First time I've ever heard these two things talked about as a matter of "this versus that" and not "combat and logistics".

I'd hate to be a CO or NCO under a General who looked at the two as somehow adversarial or mutually exclusive in terms of planning and resourcing.

Yours is quite an interesting analogy, here.
And of course Kyiv is not far from the border, either.
The very idea of an algorithmic stablecoin is beyond idiotic. A lot of Crypto Andys are former gold bugs who bemoan th eloss of the gold standard (fun fact: the US dollar was never 100% backed by gold). Collaterized currencies are better but gold bugs still miss the point of what makes the US dollar work.

A currency only persists so long as people believe in it. That's it. As soon as that belief goes, it's all over. Even if it's collaterized that's true.

What actually maintains the value of the US dollar is the long dick of the US government through the Fed obviously but also foreign and domestic policy. It's the ability to project military power anywhere on the planet. It's the nuclear arsenal.

So it obviously sucks that people lost sometimes a lot of money on Luna (seriously the subreddit is a dark place now) and I believe at least some of the anecodtes of people losing their houses.. This probably shares a lot of pathology with gambling addiction (fun fact: gambling addiction has the highest rate of suicide of any addiction).

But you also need to recognize that a lot of people who got wiped out by Luna were in it to get rich quick. I mean even the ~20% staking returns on Anchor should be alarming by itself. Who is paying for that 20% return? It's bound to be a Ponzi scheme.
Most premium candidates won't consider your $Y M in illiquid equity to be actual money. And if you're some no-name startup, they definitely won't even consider you. You can't afford to pay them cash either.

I also strongly believe in the 10x programmer idea [1] and you're not even going to come across these people unless you run in the same social circles as them. Some random manager at Google is not necessarily a 10x candidate. It's very difficult to vet potential 10x candidates from just a glance because so many people exaggerate and bullshit on their resumes.

> . A developers job is not to write code. You happen to write code as part of your job, but your core responsibility is to implement solutions to business problems.

My job is to write code. Nobody is interested in my opinions about business problems.

I have to be aware, of course. I propose code to write some times, and I have to have some idea that it is a vaguely practical thing in business terms. I want to write code in groovy system A but mundane system B has a better chance of success then my desire for system A goes by the wayside.

But it is my job to write code. That is all.
im not sure its necessarily business either, but rather distraction. Lots of ways in which relationships were formed and maintained in the past are being replaced by technology
I disagree. Anchor was a dumb-money trap that increased the fallout of UST’s collapse by at least an order of magnitude, sure, but it was not responsible for the collapse: algorithmic stable coins are fundamentally flawed, they’re a perpetual motion machine, they’re based on the belief that you can artificially create and sustain a market within a set of very narrow parameters. Luna was doomed to fail regardless of Anchor — and the founders knew that, because they’d failed in the same way before, anchor was their attempt to shore up the ruse (which worked… until it didn’t).
> (fun fact: the US dollar was never 100% backed by gold)

Go on please.
Yeah, when even cryptocoin bulls consider these ponzis... you have to wonder if there is any rational reason for holding them is a greater fool and a belief that you can get out faster than others. I do wonder how you calculate the psychic cost of constantly monitoring your "stable coin", or maybe the answer is just the 20% annual returns on Anchor?

Almost the exact thing happened with ironfinance a year ago!

I don't know about Tesla production forecast and how its stock value can be interpreted but there is something interesting that Marques Brownlee said few days ago about pre ordering cars [1]. Basically, if people that put down the $250k for a Tesla Roadster founder edition to finance the company and for a product they still don't have into Tesla stock the would now have $4.5MM.

Not complaining about Tesla stock price as it has the price that people is willing to pay but to me this is definitely a redefinition on what people care when deciding where to invest.

I submit that very few people give a shit about decentralization. They want their currency to work and not drop 90% of its value overnight.
