Nothing.

I'm a firm believer that even checking the news daily is a waste of time and energy. I'm a former news junky but had a change of heart when I realized it was worsening my anxiety and depression with actually zero return on investment.

Everyone is different, of course. But if you haven't tried it before, quit the news for two weeks. It might change your life.
Then they'll diversify their reporters, a most welcome change.

I really think that "TV News" aka the current format (either on TV or streaming or anywhere) is going to drastically decline as Gen X and the Boomer generation age out.

Do we really want or need a "personality" to deliver us information? Reading just seems so much easier and more efficient
It seems to me that Amazon is also losing out on some higher end products these days too.
In your opinion, what US news channels or web sites are of good quality?
YUP

If at all possible, have the actual architects and coders talking directly to the end users.

Avoid having the product managers talking to the user managers. Avoid even more having executives talking to executives. (At least exclusively, of course one needs customer executive input to discover what they need, but that is really as other users, e.g., of the reports generated). Keeping the discussions high-level instead of coder-user is pretty much a guarantee of multiple rewirtes, add-ons, extensions, cost and schedule overruns, and generally poor results. Even when everyone is sincerely working hard to get a good result, merely the result of the 'telephone' game, and loss of key details which indicate real issues and latent structures/processes that need to be taken into account in the design...

It may seem frivolous, but it is a key to successful projects, whether as a consulting org or internal enterprise development.

Then there's also what's readily and apparently available to us... We know we don't want potato chips all the time, but we only have one store, and it offers two brands of potato chips, and no other food.

So not only can we choose to eat potato chips while saying we want better, but we can be forced to either eat it or starve.
It's too bad most man pages don't include anything in the EXAMPLES section.
CNN had very bullish years for business with the Trump administration, now the times have changed and also people, many are exhausted, and want to feel less anxiety when reading and watching the news
Look, I live in one of those "civilized" countries (continent really), and while I enjoy and need the work life balance, there may also be a reason Tesla, SpaceX and the FAANGs were founded in the US and not here. There are many other reasons too, but I recommend reading "Liftoff" about the early years of SpaceX to get a sense of what's needed here. Neither SpaceX nor Tesla would exist without the crazy work ethic of its leaders and employees. Tesla, despite being valued at ~$1 trillion is also far from a mature company and has the vast majority of its growth ahead. It's not a place for work life balance yet, maybe in 20 years but not now.

If you don't believe in Tesla's mission, that's ok, you don't have to work there. But plenty of people do, and so far they have been richly rewarded with their stock options 20X-ing over the past few years, making many of them millionaires.

The fairness doctrine never applied to cable in the first place, and would be fairly likely to be held as violating the First Amendment if you tried to expand it to do so (it would be a reasonably likely outcome merely from bringing back the old broadcast-only one, too).

Are you able to use any banking apps? I stopped rooting some time back when that became normal for financial apps, and the ability to monitor/manage account balance from anywhere was hard to give up.

"Crackpot" is a huge exaggeration for "costs more than non-green, so nobody wants to invest".

Especially when those costs could be hugely shifted with a single tax on emissions.
seeing CNN and "progressive" in the same context befuddles me - these guys are center-right in almost every sense. I guess that's just where the Overton window is nowadays
They mentioned trying to use Yarn workspaces.

I set up several projects in a monorepo recently using Yarn 3, and while the end result was awesome, the path to success was dark and weedy.

It seemed I was constantly 95% of the way there, but some detail or another wasn't quite right. Yarn has no solution for this, because the problem is the integration of tooling. eslint, typescript, prettier, jest, relay, you name it. They each want to work together and integrate with each other in different ways, using various sources of truth, and so on. Then your IDE needs to adhere to the same protocols, but various extensions have different opinions about default configurations.

Along the way you really need to know your tooling deeply, or you're in for some suffering.

Relatively simple projects with full buy-in of Yarn 3's tooling are probably pretty easy. Once you get relatively complex though, I don't know, I don't think any of this is easy.

It does sound like Nx handles a bunch of this stuff for you, which I'd love to try out. I really like that Yarn isn't particularly opinionated though. Once I had things set up, there was very little to change or that could break. The scaffolding was fairly plain to see, easy to work with, and we owned it. With something like Nx where things reportedly "just work", I worry it would be an unsettling blend of black boxes and black magic making my tooling and code work... Until it didn't, at which point I'd wish I used something less opinionated.
> Interesting you said “their culture” when you are in that same in-group.

No I am proudly not of the same culture (which is ignorant, violent, shoplifting heroine addicted, thieving, murdering, raping, etc ...). That should not be difficult to understand.

How does this relate for memory? I am a relative layman.
To start with the good, building features in your app becomes super easy because your network layer is completely agnostic. Rather than making API endpoints for every new feature, you're implementing everything in the language of shared types like arrays and maps. The changes to those structures are simply merged with the server/peers and you don't worry about manually syncing stuff anymore. Everything you build now works offline by default, and collaboratively if you so choose.

Collaboration is where things get a little spicy. You're now dealing with multi-master replication. These challenges are exacerbated with multi-user use cases (though even a single-user experience is still multiplayer: one person using multiple tabs or devices is essentially multiple users in the eyes of most CRDT-based app architectures. You could also consider the server another peer.)

IMO, biggest challenge areas are data migrations, version management, data validation, and authorization. Sure you can migrate things on the server (if you're not building a P2P app), but you have to remember the server is now just a more authoritative peer; you can't guarantee your user will ever even talk to the server again.

If you don't have defensive data validation and stellar error handling, one peer can poison the others with bad data. It doesn't need to be a bad actor: you could simply add a bug to your code without realizing it, push it to prod, and now you've got viral data corruption. On the bright side, because your business logic is all in the client, unit and integration tests become super powerful. There's no need to mock a server and risk deviation from reality: the client is authoritative, therefore its tests are authoritative.

In my eyes, most of the challenges come from multiplayer. If you scope down your local-first app to a single-user experience + a server for backup purposes, I think things are pretty straightfoward. You'll still have to deal with version management and data migrations, but traditional desktop and mobile apps already have a rich history of best practices for this which can be emulated.

That may be true but I still think we're headed for a big correction in education long term, both economically and in terms of cultural influence.
I think this is the difference between two kinds of "wanting", the id kind and the superego kind. We want the chips because they taste good. We want the nutritious food because we understand on a conceptual level that it is healthy. What we choose to eat in the end depends on how we balance these desires in the moment.

Insert analogies for the news as appropriate.

The entire “business” of startups is to get acquired. Few expect to go public.
True and what we want is in part conditioned by what is produced.
And yet, the fact that there are ratings appears to result in higher-quality ride services than taxis.

Anecdata, but in my experience rideshares (which have ratings) are cleaner, more punctual, have fewer no-shows, and let's zero incidences of refusal to carry than taxis. Obviously there are likely a number of confounders involved, but I would be surprised if ratings were not an important factor.
This is the second post today I've seen here that is a complete and utter waste of time and effort, and I love them both. People make things for the joy of it. Constraints breed innovation and creativity - this is a perfect example of someone doing something stupid purely for the joy of doing it and it's wonderful.
This can cut both ways.
Even after the recent massive dip, Snap's valuation is an order of magnitude greater than Facebook's notorious buyout offer.
Twitter's Fleets feature lasted less than a year, and Im not sure that their Clubhouse-"inspired" feature has gained much traction.
Its not clear that even Facebook will be able to disrupt Tiktok's momentum.
Slack exists and is successful despite consolidated offerings from the tech giants (Google famously has a double-digit number of chat apps).

Generally, startups have drastically less internal momentum, bureaucracy, tech debt, or politics to contend with and are much better positioned to push fresh ideas, and be responsive to customer needs rather than fitting a larger corporate narrative.
But its fair to say that if a startup idea is really just a feature idea (even a really good, well-executed feature idea, like Calendly) and doesn't scale its ambition beyond that, the best outcome to hope for is a buyout, and at worst being built internally by a giant.

On the other hand, its never been easier to start a software business thanks to incentives from the tech giants.
Google Cloud is basically free to start up and gain traction with.
Granted, there may be downsides to this, but not having to think too hard about infra opens up a lot of opportunities at the same time.
> uring only really applies for async IO - and would tell you when an otherwise blocking syscall would have finished. Since the benchmark here uses blocking calls, there shouldn’t be any change in behavior. The lifetime of the buffer is an orthogonal concern to the lifetime of the operation. Even if the kernel knows when the operation is done inside the kernel it wouldn’t have a way to know whether the consuming application is done with it.

That doesn't match what I've read. E.g. https://lwn.net/Articles/810414/ opens with "At its core, io_uring is a mechanism for performing asynchronous I/O, but it has been steadily growing beyond that use case and adding new capabilities."

More precisely:

* While most/all ops are async IO now, is there any reason to believe folks won't want to extend it to batch basically any hot-path non-vDSO syscall? As I said, batching doesn't help here, but it does in a lot of other scenarios.

* Several IORING_OP_s seem to be growing capabilities that aren't matched by like-named syscalls. E.g. IO without file descriptors, registered buffers, automatic buffer selection, multishot, and (as of a month ago) "ring mapped supplied buffers". Beyond the individual operation level, support for chains. Why not a mechanism that signals completion when the buffer passed to vmsplice is available for reuse? (Maybe by essentially delaying the vmsplice syscall'ss return [1], maybe by a second command, maybe by some extra completion event from the same command, details TBD.)

[1] edit: although I guess that's not ideal. The reader side could move the page and want to examine following bytes, but those won't get written until the writer sees the vmsplice return and issues further writes.
Reddit has been trying to go public, right? (or have they already?)

I guess the quality of the site will drop even lower at that point, probably past the threshold where they can even be misunderstood as being good for determining what is newsworthy.

How much weight is on each person in a Human Pyramid?
No, not at all. Let's talk about public transportation.

If you have a public bus that seats at max 20 people, and it's continuously running on a loop, it is entirely appropriate to take the gasoline cost of running the bus for one loop, divide it by the average number of people who ride each loop, and compare that to the costs of normal transportation.

If the bus uses way more gasoline per loop than is justified by transporting 10-20 people each loop, then riding the bus is bad for the environment. It would be wild to look at that situation and say, "well, the bus is going to spend that power regardless, so actually riding it is environmentally free and the criticism doesn't make sense."

The bus exists because of the passengers, and how much work it's doing per loop and the number of passengers it's serving should factor into an analysis of whether it's worth keeping it around.

Similarly, Bitcoin's POW system exists to provide transactions, and it is entirely reasonable to take the average number of transactions it processes per block and ask whether it's good that Bitcoin spends so much energy to process so few transactions.

It's especially valid to question whether it's good that Bitcoin's energy usage can increase without increasing the number of transactions it handles. At least with a public bus, the amount of gasoline it uses doesn't start dramatically rising just because the bus became more popular, independently of how often it makes a loop or what its seat capacity is.
Software doesn't really have an "outward presentation" in the same way as vehicles, all we ever see as users is the dash with knobs and wheel, or whatever part of the underlying system we're working on. Constant UI changes in an attempt to dazzle users are the equivalent of putting in bigass tablets that blind and distract and are impossible to use safely while doing away with tactile switches. Software innovation should happen "under the hood" while keeping user interface defaults as conservative as possible, otherwise you're just inconveniencing users.
I suspect the web has changed that a lot. It used to be that CNN was all video, on television. Now people have shifted their news consumption to mainly online text. You can still have web video, of course, but the video/text ratio has changed dramatically in the past 30 years for CNN.

Also, anyone with a smartphone can take video and post it online, so video is not as much at a premium anymore. Professional reporters have been obsoleted somewhat by amateurs.
>> They regularly forgo important local and international stories

Is there still a bifurcation between CNN and CNN International? It often felt very different to watch CNN in the US compared other countries when I actually watched any TV news (~1990-2005).
There's a second option where they just raise social security taxes or inject other tax revenue into it. I think that's more likely, cutting payments seems politically unfeasible.
They actually put an umlaut into the official name to really make sure it won't be used correctly internationally?
nope, only participles, I've been told to.
When people say stuff like this, I genuinely wonder if they actually used lerna. Lerna is more or less a wrapper around yarn/npm, and still 100% totally sucks. Nor does it solve ANY of the problems GP mentions -- which I've also had -- recognizing code from other modules, live-reloading schemas, don't even get me started on jerry-rigging like 8 different webpack plugins because you need sass, but you also need an SVG loader, and also a JSX loader but oops now you're running into some weird conflict between them, etc. etc.

It's honestly embarrassing that modern web development (an incredibly "dumb" network protocol at its core) doesn't have an easier onboarding/development process.
This is long overdue... I'd have hoped that they would have done it in 2014, when this bit of classic overhype aired.

"Breaking News: Titanic Sunk 102 Years Ago Tonight"
What I do not understand is why police do not have a certification like Lawyers or Doctors do. If they really mess up they should lose that certification (just like a lawyer or doctor can) and then they can no longer work as a police officer. No moving a town or state over and continuing onward - license revoked.
Fairness doctrine made sense at the time because broadcast spectrum was a very scarce resource. When cable and Internet are available to disseminate a broad range of viewpoints, it's no longer necessary for the FCC to be involved in regulating speech.
I find Aljazeera, DW, and TV5 to be the most serious news channels lately (although I barely watch anymore).

I really liked the morning news on TV5 because they kept it light (my local news channel thinks I want to watch murder scenes while I eat my cereal).
Democracy Now I've always found to be one of the highest quality daily news sources, presented with an open but transparent bias and large swath of international news coverage not covered by more traditional broadcast platform
Next perhaps they can get Wolf Blitzer to stop shouting literally every sentence that comes out of his mouth as if it is all “BREAKING NEWS.”
Considering it's been a top story for weeks I think "breaking news" is fitting when the verdict is reached and available. What isn't fitting, is "breaking news: the jury has gone to deliberate".
The biggest difference between comparing storing H2 to LP is that LP is liquid at an otherwise pretty low pressure and common temperature. The most you're going to see an LP tank get to is ~200psi. Hydrogen gas for cars is often dispensed at around 5,000-10,000psi. That's a whole different level of requirements needed for safety and construction of the cylinders, they're practically not comparable in the slightest.
The most efficient computational program would essentially be that without a cache miss. A brain that focuses on the now would be the equivalent? Memories are passé
My point is that extra success you point to above and beyond his peers isn't worth what he does to get it. He could be 90% as successful and 100% less of a dick and that would be a better tradeoff for him, the people that work with and interact with him, the people he harasses, and the rest of us.
There will always be a difference since you can't fly trains into the World Trade Center. Planes are basically missiles.
> Personally I'd like to see the fairness doctrine reinstated

That's not going to help at all with online media as that's only broadcast licenses which to my knowledge only affects operators of a broadcast TV, Audio Radio (as in AM/FM/SSB/etc), or other radio station - meaning the internet, cable, and satellite (not sure how satellite broadcast licensing works) are unaffected by this. Also it only affects the holder - ie DishTV - not the channels themselves that DishTV is transmitting

And I have no idea how you adapt this for the internet - broadcast licenses were relatively hard to get, relatively expensive to operate, and generally unavailable to most people, edit: and had limited availability. With the internet anyone can make a blog for free in 5 minutes.

EDIT: I think you'll have a lot of 1st amendment problems here. To be honest I'm not sure how the FCC was allowed to do it. To my knowledge the FCC cannot enforce this for cable/internet - I think that would have to be the FTC. But I really doubt this be found to not violate the 1st amendment with the internet.

EDIT 2: > The courts reasoned that the scarcity of the broadcast spectrum, which limited the opportunity for access to the airwaves, created a need for the doctrine.

It looks like the supreme court at the time ruled that because of the limited number of broadcast stations it made sense for the FCC to regulate it in this manor. Because of the lack of scarcity of resources for the internet, I highly doubt the FTC would be allowed to do the same.
Ted Turner's CNN was a news network. But then he fell in love with Hanoi Jane and she told him to sell it 'for a good cause'. Once the sale went through, she dumped him.

There is zero chance a normal bank branch will give someone $500k in physical cash with no notice. Even with advance notice I suspect many branches would simply refuse. Most bank locations don't keep all that much cash on hand and don't really want to deal with it more than they have to.
I'm in the same boat. I think they have made a very deliberate calculation and are one of the companies that has the data to make said calculation. I assume they aren't whimsical or stupid, so I would really like to know what Toyota is thinking.

Honda is a bit more understandable since airplanes look to be going to hydrogen and they make airplanes too, but not that much more really. I assume they have some very good reasons.
