Google Maps keeps getting worse
I live in Vienna, Austria. Whenever I try to search for a route by train on Google maps it keeps recommending bike routes. If I had a bike available, I would have searched for it, so why are you suggesting me to ride my bike if I want to go by train?

Sorry for the rant but I just feel like Google is going down hill
> From my experience, Kubernetes drastically reduces the number of DevOps people required. My current place has a team of 5, compared to a similarly sized, vmware-centric place I worked at a decade ago with a team of 14.

Is that K8s, or that you've outsourced hosting, storage and stateful storage to cloud services?

I suspect that things are much easier to automate effectively, and the knowledge for automating things is much more common.

All those needles, and not a single moral compass.
Yes but FB has never created a successful hardware product, that was not the case for Apple when it made (and failed) with the Newton.
I'm afraid this is why people pick Kubernetes. They believe small business needs those tens of thousands of VMs distributed across thousand of nodes and so on.

With some exceptions, I believe that's a few orders of magnitude above what a small business can run on. Nowadays people just start their day by drinking some K2l-aid and spinning up a "basic" 6-node cluster for a development prototype.

Maybe I'm wrong, of course.
Second Life but with hardware requirements with less general-purpose utility.
Not a lawyer, but from my perspective... if you're part of the club you can insider trade all you want. Just look at Nancy Pelosi.

If you aren't part of the club, then they'll charge you for it.
Unemployment rates in the US are at very low levels. In my state, it's under 2%.
>I have lived in rural, suburban, and dense urban settings, and my quality of life was by far, by far, the highest in the city. Almost every aspect of my life was improved when I moved to a dense urban center.

Same here, and the other families that lived in the dense urban center with us would agree. In fact, when we were thinking of moving from suburb back to city, we literally stopped families at parks in the city and asked them. Literally every one of the 10+ families we asked told us we should absolutely move!

Yes, we didn't have a driveway or big yard, but we did have a nearby park which became our yard, and most of our adventures didn't require a car, anyway. We'd simply walk out the door and go to one of the parks, restaurants, museums, etc. within a short walk. We'd bike or take the subway for longer distances. Without a yard or house to take care of, I had both weekend days available.

I could go on and on. My family and I found the energy of the city invigorating and I'm totally cool with the fact that others may not, or that going out and about all the time is not their idea of awesome.
Aha that might be their target but young urban professionals are not likely to be the largest demographic.

That demographic prefers Starbucks, and more likely some hip 3rd wave place over timmies.
This is the best comment so far. From my very limited knowledge though its almost impossible to remove Zuck from the company though.
The real pivot for FB was their pivot to Instagram, with facebook.com pivoting to a "secret police" business model and shutting down open discussions, which used to flourish there. They've done this very well. FB today is more of a political organization than a business organization especially in the US. The Metaverse is just a distraction from this development that will have no impact on their cash cow Instagram.

The nice thing about Instagram and Twitter, as far as Washington lobbyists are concerned, is that it's influencer driven and there's very little room for bottom up discussion between "normal" people. The original Facebook was a tool where dissent could grow in a bottom up fashion, with friends posting and realizing, "holy smokes! I was thinking that too!". This doesn't happen any more now that everyone knows that big brother is watching.
I don't know if Cramer actually does move markets or not. I guess the defense would be that Cramer is just some clown with a finance show and no one takes him seriously. It's just entertainment.
I did it for years, until someone started dictionary spam runs on my domain. That was a pain, so I whitelisted the ones I used, and went to email-company@domain. Works pretty well, I’ve black holed 20 or 30 over time, and it’s a decent second check on phishing emails.

Sadly, because I chose - instead of plus, I’m going to be hosting my own inbound email for the rest of this domains life. (And since it’s mylastname.net, that’s going to be a while)

> I have never had to turn to Mark, because he was already there

I've not read anything (else?) Mrs Sandberg has (or hasn't) written, but this turn of phrase has a "professional" feel & taste. It's contrived. It's not something you would say about someone truly dear to you, your best friend, your parents, etc.

Maybe your dog.
the opiod substitute given to this person's relative made him no longer psychotic
It's also a thread about memory allocation in Webkit tho.
I don't even like read receipts for casual communication apps. I feel like they only cause stress. I don't want people to know if I'm read something because I may have read it but be too busy to respond and need to come back to it later, but I don't want the person thinking I'm ignoring them. And on the other side of things, I don't want to stress myself out repeatedly checking if someone read my message.
If you have money, is there anything really stopping you? Just set up a fake corporate-looking website and start contacting vendors! You will have to meet minimum order volumes though.
Lucky for him and everyone else, there are more than just these 2 options.

Just typing something and then not sending a message puts me out of order for about 5 minutes while I'm waiting if there is a message coming. And then another 10 minutes while I'm speculating what he could have wanted from me.
Exactly this. At a high level, DALL-E is mapping text to a (continuous) matrix and then mapping that matrix to an image (another a matrix). All text inputs will map to _something_. DALL-E doesn't care if that mapping makes sense, it has been trained to produce high-quality outputs, not to ensure the validity of mappings.

None of this makes DALL-E any less impressive to me. High quality image generation is a truly amazing result. Results from foundational models (GPT-3, PaLM, DALL-E, etc) are so impressive that they're forcing us to reconsider the nature of intelligence and raise the bar. That's a sign of a job well done to me.
Since when did violating an employment agreement become a criminal issue? Next thing you know they'll be charging people for switching employers.

> Nevertheless, Apple Pay is fairly dominant.

I ran stats on an event I wrote software for, Apple Pay was 70%+ of all 1-click checkouts, Google Pay was under 30%. I was a little shocked at the difference though after spending more time trying to develop for Google Pay I can't help but wonder if that factors in. That and them renaming it every other week and removing features, it's a dumpster fire here in the US from what I can see. I've only ever seen my friends use Samsung Pay on their Androids.
Institutions pumping huge loads of 401K money every pay period also props the scheme up
They say

« It should be noted that this is not an effort to document the entire Rust language and standard library. Ferrocene is the effort to qualify a version of the Rust compiler, which means we can also be selective when it comes to what subset gets documented. »

Not covering the whole library seems natural enough, but I'd be interested in finding out what part of the language they intend to cover.

From the example they give, it looks like they might not be attempting to describe type inference: it repeatedly talks about types as if they're known quantities when considering an expression in isolation.

In fact I wonder whether they plan to cover type checking at all. The "legality rules" section doesn't seem to think it's worth mentioning that a call which doesn't type-check isn't legal.
Facebook having such a bad rep across the board of people did not help at all. Like why is FB not doing any major enterprise initiative or cloud computing? Especially now with their stock dropping, having another $100B in value would help a lot.

They haven’t monetized Messenger or WhatsApp much either. Maybe they can’t or it won’t ever be enough. Less than billions in profit won’t help much. Which does make them having won and are now going down seem more correct.
Look, say and think whatever you want, I don't really care. But just fyi that your comment is pretty rude, and assumes a lot of things about me that aren't true.

It's not in the spirit of this site to act this way, which is why I made my original comment. More importantly, it's just a pretty obnoxious way to behave towards people. If you don't care cause you think I'm just a "gross ultra-fan", well, that's your right, you do you.
If you use Kubernetes, you need custom operators and controllers in order to a have feature rich environment that can support your applications and support all CI/CD instrumentation.

Then, for designing, implementing and maintaining all these extra elements is why you need a devops guy. Also not mentioning how extremely fast things are moving in the cloud era.
Yea they're big no doubt. If we were starting from scratch I think we'd have lots of Portsmouth, New Hampshires and only a few New Yorks (you need that level of density for certain specializations - think quantum physics or neurosurgery).

So imagine the US, but maybe 5 New York level dense cities, and the rest of the country like Portsmouth.

Unfortunately though, I think we can't really undo the damage that's been done so far, so the best we can do is try to heal these cities and make them dense in a nice way. Hong Kong is an anti-pattern, and so is Houston. IMO.
This sounds, and looks, just the same as Twist
Do they? Do you have examples? I really don't think that's something that actually happens on here.

Frequently you get people pointing out that highly dense areas require different approaches to planning and transportation, but that's hardly pushing some lifestyle on anyone who isn't interested in it.
I agree, but it's not just regulators. It's also politicians and to a lesser extent anyone else whose position depends on "the status of the economy".

Furthermore, if the stocks didn't go up liek they did, there would be a massive issue meeting pension and retirement obligations.
I mean you have to start somewhere though

To be fair, the probably needed to hire thousands of developers to implement this.
Sounds like humans trying to shift the blame to data (which cannot be fired). You have my sympathies.
The difference is that you play with your whole body, not just your fingers. You can duck for cover, or run, or kick and punch someone, or construct an item with your hands. It’s immersive and it could take gaming to a whole other level.

This is what AR and games are all about. Not necessarily what Meta wants to build.
Despite what is often implied, there are in fact multiple people with different opinions posting on this site.
Sure they do, but much less aggressively than mobile browsers. I think that desktop Safari will try to keep your tab live so long as nothing fishy happens. Based on my experiences using Chrome, it seems to do the same thing.
I would take the time to do the transactional emails in the CRM system. There's a lot more to it than just sending content.

The “plaintiff” in a criminal trial is called the prosecution, and it is DOJ.
GitHub Team or Free? How to choose the right plan
you'd be wont to find anyone who'd support exective prison time more than me, but i'm against prison time as a de facto punishment for exactly the reason that it results in too many people being locked up frivolously. i agree that the scale and scope here are atrocious, but again, take away all their gains and more, especially in regards to prestige and esteem, and you'll deter this type of behavior as effectively as incarceration without any of the downsides of prisons (especially the perverse incentives and the exhorbitant costs).

the punishment should fit the crime. that's why i'd throw the sacklers in prison (because they ruined countless lives, up to and including death), but not these executives.
Powerful insight. And the tech giants own phone addiction - as a product and data source - also slows the progress of all AR and VR efforts.
Looks very cool, but I’ll have to wait for a Mac version. Good luck.
> What people want is an escape from reality.

I don't think this is even broadly true. We just locked everyone in their houses for the pandemic and people hated it. They want to get out and do stuff and see the world. Not sit on a couch with a screen strapped to their face.

This is a great idea that I had never thought of. Something that might help, if it does actually make a person feel awkward, is to use a numeric code. That way, you could be commercial301@mydomain.com and then 301 could equal Gap, or whatever you want.
This is a great resource, especially because of its killer feature: user provided examples.

Some of the more powerful or special purpose utilities in Clojure are much easier to grasp by looking at some examples.

The only thing that is potentially better is a very well maintained wiki, like the MDN docs. But that’s a much bigger effort and only few wikis reach that level of quality.

Another cool thing about Clojure is that its core library and other parts of the language are quite small and understandable. I had quite a bit of fun reading and skimming the source, trying to understand things etc.
Yep, in most cases is as simple as that
Some people experience so much of their reality through a screen that I wonder if maybe their online version is effectively their "real" self.
> 1. Meta is still a toxic brand. Slightly less toxic than FB, but it still prevents a lot of early adopters from even trying it

If Facebook wasn't behind it I would probably own a Quest 2 (even though I'll buy Apple's VR headset at release) but as-is I won't touch that with a 10' pole.
That's an incredibly uncharitable interpretation of what I said. I'm just saying that that the impact something being part of your routine can be a real thing as it is for me, and that the comment I replied to might have missed some of the reason that the commenter they replied to misses their bike commute.
A webapp is automatically cross-platform, and also installing a program requires more buy-in from a user. I wouldn't have played around with this if I had to vet whether it was from a trustworthy source and install it to my machine.
Having spent a couple of years at Facebook, I was honestly surprised by how different Zuckerberg is vs the outside perception. Now, I wasn't part of his inner circle or whatever, but in his weekly Q&As he came off very thoughtful, well-rounded, human, at times opinionated, and willing to engage on any topic. He fought to keep the weekly sessions going despite the leaks, something Google gave up on as I understand. Zuck has his faults, but a robotic, non-empathetic humanoid he is not. He struck me as a strong introvert that over time got comfortable communicating with his growing organization. I don't think he's ever gotten comfortable communicating with the rest of the world (and admitted as much). Ironic that he's in charge of a communication service.
When government prints money, people don't go and drive the price or bread and butter up. They go and invest in financial markets, driving the price of financial products like stocks up.
> governmental, collective action is the only realistic counter to capitalism

I feel like it's not either-or, and that we ought to acknowledge that there's a very real information gathering / decision making problem that is in some cases but not others very neatly solved by markets. I don't see why market based systems that don't lead to systematic wealth accumulation are seen as unrealistic.
I think it's hard to compare Japan with the US or UK or other countries because unlike those countries, Japan can't turn on what I'll call an immigration valve and just flat-out import people to grow the economy.
Cool!

Yea, but from what I’ve seen in my limited 47 years of life, is that while smoking may not give you cancer, it still f’s up your lungs. Emphysema is a cruel master.

It’s straightforward to kill Starlink, just solve the “last mile” internet access problem and they fail.

The idea we could setup mail service to everyone then wire up electricity and finally landlines to effectively every home in a vastly poor societies but can’t solve the internet issue without satellites is disgraceful.
You've got some great advise that straight out of the investment handbook and has served investors very well for the last 100 years.

But, the mainstream investment handbook is a little out of date. With a 50 year Bond bubble brewing, bonds are close to an all time high right now, which means interest rates are close to all time lows. This means, you'll get very low returns from bonds, much lower than the last 50 years and almost certainly won't keep up with real inflation. Much of the bond returns from the last 50 yrs were from increasing bond prices/decreasing interest rates. those days are over. so, now we only have the yield left, which averages about 2% or so.

In a secular low rate world or ever low rates, risk assets, unfortunately are the only life boat available to rescue us from the onslaught of inflation. :(

this is Not financial advise.
Thanks! Really appreciate the response.
I can't find pricing of Cardinal. Do they have free tier?
Myth: Application Security is complex and expensive
Prices are a function of supply and demand, largely. New money being created and spent is only an issue when it durably creates more demand than supply can absorb. This is where inflation happens. With covid we had across the board stimulus that didn't care too much if supply was matching, but we also had supply disruptions everywhere.

This is incredibly hard (impossible?) to do in practice, but imagine that you create new money and use it to buy goods where supply can be perfectly adjusted in regards to demand. Now your money creation has zero effect on prices.

On top of that, a low level of inflation is actually a policy target. Low, but not null, because public policy wants to incentivize productive investment and not hoarding cash. And because deflation is much harder to curb (hello Japan) than inflation for a reasonably developed and productive economy.
Regarding noise, I've told this story before on HN, but the loudest place I've lived was the aforementioned house in the boonies, where the noise from passing trucks and motorcycles at all hours of the night was intolerable. My place in the city is far quieter, ironic given that it's literally a hundred yards or so from a turnpike and a rail line (never once heard the train passing in all these years, somehow).

As for the gym, the workshop, the office, I'd personally rather share those with the community. As mentioned, I'm in the city because I enjoy being around people, which isn't to say that I want to work in an office (hell no), but I do want to work in public among people doing their own work (and who, unlike co-workers, won't be constantly pestering me with questions).

Which is to say, my riposte is that the older I get the more I realize that community is what I crave, and that I was dissatisfied with the community that I found in my rural and suburban lives: finding a community in the city is harder, because you actually have to try, but much more fulfilling IME.
Looks like it was only 3 Strads and 3 new violins, which were selected from a pool of 15 submitted by violinmakers. So only really good violins. (But also a very small sample.)

8 players chose a Strad as their favorite, so it's not as clear-cut as "new violins are better." It's more like, Strads are in a similar league, but do not outclass, new violins, despite costing an order of magnitude+ more. But then again, they are pieces of rare collectible art that are hundreds of year old–it's kind of amazing that you can play them at all!

So it's more like: imagine if there were a handful of surviving vintage audio cables from the 1600s (okay, the 1800s?) that performed almost as well as modern ones. I imagine they'd cost more money. And that wouldn't be so crazy, given their history.

After the dotcom bust, it was sometimes the user information which was the only thing left to sell off (even when they promised not to.) Spam was more of a problem back then, or maybe just being able to avoid it was more of a problem. So catch all email like this was actually beneficial but it became obvious only a few years later, to me at least, that no one was selling email addresses anymore and all that management was unnecessary overhead. I'd say about by 2006 it had definitely sorted itself out.

I now route mail by context and only deal with maybe a half dozen accounts regularly.
Even though as a software developer in Europe, it makes my life much more complicated, I hope more GDPR-like measures are implemented and enforced.

Not long ago I worked with a similar CEO (minus the success that Tesla had): He was adamant that everybody had return to the office (in the middle of COVID!) because he argued he "didn't know how to guide the startup to be a multi billion dollar company with a remote team", and that he "didn't do remoting".

The funny thing is that, there I was, working from an office in another country, and I reported directly to him... remotely. But he wanted to force me to get all the people in my country's office to go back to the office, even if I knew how to work with a remote team.
