"Invaders led by the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés overthrew the Aztec Empire by force and captured Tenochtitlan in 1521, bringing an end to Mesoamerica's last great native civilization ... The Spaniards then murdered thousands of Aztec nobles during a ritual dance ceremony, and Montezuma died under uncertain circumstances while in custody... European diseases like smallpox, mumps and measles were also powerful weapons against the local population, who lacked immunity to them...By 1520, smallpox had reduced the population of Tenochtitlan by 40% in just one year." [1]

Maybe an oversimplification to assert "the Europeans didn't topple any empire in the Americas"?

> Context: for ages, OEMs (the factory) have had a belief that Americans will not wait to buy a car.

On the contrary, we recently added a 3rd car, and it ended up being a $4000 used Toyota Camry. My first choice would have been a Corolla or civic but none were available at a reasonable price, condition and mileage. Due to the well known rise in used car prices.

It's in good enough condition and meets all the requirements for something that's comfortable, has cruise control and working AC, wasn't in bad shape, and can be repaired and maintained economically. Now I'm optimizing for dollars per km driven and although I could easily afford to take out a car loan for a new Model 3, or similar, I have absolutely no intention of doing so.

At the purchase price of this car and its highway mpg, and driving around 14,000 km per year, even at the current fuel prices (or if fuel goes to $6.85 USD a gallon) there is no way that its $/km is going to be anywhere near as high as the TCO of buying a new Prius or Ioniq nevermind a fully electric car.

I have simply opted out entirely from the concept of buying a dealership new car or late-model car and will continue to spend money on things that are reasonably adequate, and my financial outlay and overall level of stress are considerably lessened. No more worrying about if it collects a rock chip in its front plastic bumper, or a ding in a parking lot, no more paying comprehensive insurance, no more dealership haggling and waiting lists, no more inventory problems.
I have one of these for my 11 Pro. It’s lighter than my Air and much more portable.

My iPad has better battery, cellular, etc…

Do I use it to code, no, but that is because I don’t really code anymore. I have used it along with parallels access to remote in to my Air from literally across the world, and run VSCode to troubleshoot some code for a friend. It worked fine. Anymore it’s become my travel machine.
I wonder what the perspective of other people who run businesses or manage teams are on this subject? I have managed teams at top tech companies in bay area in the past (although switched back to an engineering position recently). Regardless of the company, I have always wondered why everyone around me is working so slowly. Things that a good engineer should be able to do in a day gets done in a month or more. When working as an engineer people always commented that I'm very efficient. But honestly I think the reason is a lot of people just barely put 10 hours a week in the current 5 days a week routine. Lots of times I feel like you could just let 60-70% of people go at companies I've worked at and literally nothing changes. My experience has been that a handful of high output individuals at each company are responsible for 90% of things that gets done. So I wonder what happens if we reduce this even more? Probably nothing, because high output individuals usually have intrinsic motivations and will continue putting more hours than is required.
A recent talk I saw suggested that SREs report into the COO (Chief Operations Officer) and not the CTO or VP of Engg. I thought that’s a good idea.

The COO is interested in the stability of ongoing operations whereas the other two roles are about launching new things (Unless I have gotten the definition of COO wrong).

Too many vested interests and rigid regulation that cannot be changed because of those vested interests.

Apple famously & longstandingly requires all "browsers" on iOS to use the builtin web views. There are Chrome and Firefox (and others), but they lack many many web platform capabilities & don't boast the far more more featureful render engine that either browser ships with on any other platform. It's all reskinned Safari, forever & ever.

For a while the web view they were making apps use was lagging way way behind Safari itself- was just dog slow & utterly unaccelerated[1], but they finally at least ship moderately capable webviews in iOS now. That was a solid half decade of brutal tyranny- anything trying to use the web platform at all had a terrible time, & alternative browsers were a sick laggy disgusting joke.

This is one of the biggest sorest points about Apple's complete dominion over iOS & their rule by app store (for many): this titan don't even allow healthy competition on the web. They hold the whole web back. Safari would feel like far less of a villianous poison if Apple didn't rule iOS with a bloody iron fist.

I meant 10 shootings but like I say, it was just a guess.

Personally I'd consider that pretty under control.

Hey I watch you on YouTube all the time!

You're right though - and it is a mystery to me why these chip makers don't invest heavily in software support. They genuinely seem to not understand the relationship between sales and software support.

Espressif is doing well with its esp32 chips because they have built high quality, reliable, comprehensive software support.

I am somewhat puzzled that it appears to be impossible for any other company to make 100% Raspberry Pi compatible hardware, which would solve the problem.

I was referring to the small miners. On lower cap coins (everything but ETH/BTC, by a long shot), there isn't as much volume on the market, so even small farms will have a larger impact on price.

This likely has everything to do with YouTube using VP9 vs. Twitch using h.264. Twitch has flirted with using other codecs like VP9, h.265, etc, especially in markets where consumption is incredibly Android mobile-centric, but ultimately I think they're making their big bet on an AV1 implementation for the next codec choice.

If your output scales linearly with your input, and you're working less than your competitor, you will fall behind.

If the gradient of your input-to-output curve becomes negative and stays negative, and you're working less than your competitor, then your competitor will fall behind if they're working sufficiently far past the point of negative returns.

I'm pretty sure the gradient of all input-to-output curves becomes negative at some point, and don't see any reason why that point should be exactly 40 hours a week. It could be more and it could be less, and probably depends on a whole bunch of other factors, but exactly 40 hours spread evenly across 5 days seems oddly specific.
The beauty is that I want this experiment to run and see how it performs. The pessimism I have (based on last 10-15 years of decline and anti-capitalist motifs today) is that we're going to shy away from looking at the performance of this project anyways and prevent anyone from talking about it. 4-day workweeks will become the de-facto standard. By force. My prediction is that we will see shaming of companies that even try to go against the grain and institute 5-day work weeks.

We're living in a hyper-emotional empathy-based irrational society that prevents people from even asking probing questions; prevents us from seeking truth by using tools of reason and logic. If you want a proof of this, just read old HN threads. People were so damn amazing at the time, everyone had a basic tenet of rationale. Not everything is falling, but the trend is worrying.

I'd like to see 6-day work weeks as an experiment. I am not convinced that 20% less time is 20% less productivity. Far more important is whether people are motivated and happy.
I have yet to pay MSRP for a new car.

Twice, Ive gone in on Christmas Eve or New Years and make the guy wait around until he offers an employee discount.

I’ve also gotten a discount (5% under MSRP) for being associated with a university which purchases in bulk from the given dealership.

In one case I made the guy go into their system and show me I was buying it at cost to the dealership.

People just don’t know how to negotiate. I’d be sad to see dealerships go, I’ve saved probably ten thousand of haggling.

have the support to push through this I suspect you'd get stuck here.

In my meager experience this is not unusual in large(r) organizations. At one point at megacorp there was a big push to get me to buy into some atrocious docker orchestration thing as I was part of a high velocity team. There were two teams working on this internal monstrosity and each manager was quite happy to promise entirely contradictory things to promote their own status within the company. I've never been so fast to turn someone's name into a verb.

Another shining moment was when the security/compliance department cobbled together a Hashicorp Vault proof-of-concept and lobbed it over the fence at one of the ops teams. The ops team didn't have the bandwidth to deal with it and the security team refused to maintain it. It was ridiculous enough that veeps and directors got involved.

Corporate structure is confusing because everyone's titles are massively inflated.

This has been my experience at most tech companies I've been at.

Claimed to have internal open source in the Division I interviewed for (didn't expect that).

Protocols. Though, yes, you can also use class inheritance.

Python is flexible enough that multiple dispatch can be done as a library without being a language feature.
I said something similar, that I was never going to buy another scissor keyboard and if that meant no more Macs, so be it.

The 2019 and later models have the same old keyboard they should never have stopped using, and you can tell it's just as boring and reliable because no one talks about them failing, since they don't.
In a purist approach there are clear guidelines for DevOps and SRE but these are seldom followed. In all the cases I have seen personally, for a developer both DevOps and SRE are support teams. Major cultural changes in an organisation especially at the development end is very hard to make. What has worked for me is having Ops people with some development experience work as DevOps Engineers who work with Dev team for doing whatever is required for making development and release easier. And the SRE team work with development teams for doing whatever is required for making production support easier. Once we have a fairly seamless and well defined pipeline between committing code to supporting in production, the DevOps and SRE Engineers can merge with Dev or Production Support teams depending on their skill set

The Twitch stuff is really, really good.

The reason I didn't talk about it in the post is because the basic ideas that go into reducing the latency of any HLS/DASH implementation are the same. Smaller segment sizes, chunked transport, and smart encoding and prefetch/buffering implementations.

But ... while there's lots of terrific engineering underpinning the Twitch approach, there's no way around the real-world limits to that approach. As a result, on good network connections you'll usually get ~2s latency. But not so much on the long tail of network connections. If your use case can gracefully accommodate a range of latencies for the same shared session across different clients, that's fine. If it can't, it's not fine. Plus, I don't think you can get down very much below 2s.

(I don't have access to any Twitch/IVS internal data, so I don't know what latencies they see globally across their user base. But I've done a lot of testing of this kind of stuff in general.)

And, yeah, Apple. Agreed.

I applaud the spirit of adventure in this but also think and really, really hope he's both careful and prudent, along with a strong dose of simple luck that he'll also need. Mexico is not what it used to be. Some parts are okay still but much of the country, especially outside the cities, has become extremely dangerous even to people not at all involved in organized crime or other idiotic things.

A few years ago an American cyclist did the same thing, with a cross-country trek that garnered media attention. At one point he disappeared and only later was found dismembered next to the wreck of his bike. Some local drug trafficker was blamed (maybe dubiously) 1. Again in 2018, two European cyclists passing through the south of the country on a similar sort of trek vanished and were later found mutilated and murdered at the bottom of a ravine. 2. There was even one case I recall but can't find in which a cyclist was killed and also dismembered specifically because military security was provided to him while passing through a certain crime infested region. Apparently the local criminal groups felt insulted by this, but who really knows.

There have been other incidents, many, and many that simply get too buried in the waves of violence to receive media attention.

Expecting people to give the minimum of a damn is embarrassing to point out? It's true either way. Sometimes a certain level of complexity can't be abstracted over. This is no longer a fun toy in life. You may have your bank account credentials stolen if you don't wake up and pay attention to what you're looking at.

To avoid being lockpicked you only need two-factor. It's that simple. You need some form of password manager, even if it's paper and pencil, until a megacorp handles it all for you. That'll require a universal standard to be adopted, which won't be here soon.

The rest of your assertions are assuming a premise that I never stated. Feigning offense on the internet has really gone over the top. Of course people should have secure devices.
I agree, even if I question the idea.

That is, I love the idea of everything being exposed. And I dream of the idea of interacting with the system this way.

The best models may not have an easy to boil down explanation, like it may actually not exist, it's not just that it can't be found. The models are just elaborate empirical observations that certain things together are common in people who don't pay back and other certain things together are common in people who do. But there may be no feature that is purely good or purely bad, it may always depend on the whole combination. These kinds of requirements will just lead to technical theater.

produce its own brand of generic insulin and sell it at below-market prices to people with diabetes like Sabrina Caudillo

But why? Diabetics don't want generic insulin, it's not as good as the newer insulins.

And if they want cheap generic insulin, Walmart already sells generic insulin for cheap. Why not just buy it from Walmart and subsidize it? Why would you actually try and make it yourself and sell it for below market prices? That seems like a hard way to accomplish the same thing.

What problem are they trying to solve?
