Lots of startups fail. Lots more get lucky just not having anywhere close to five 9s or people that just don't take vacations, leave, get sick, etc. Been there done that.

The wiser move is to outsource risk like that to cloud services. It will cost you but far less than hiring a team to get your five nines of uptime would. I maintain several clusters and we have a few people that can do some emergency fixes. But I am a bottleneck when it comes to knowing how to. Having BSD in the mix would make this far worse for us.
Capitalism puts all kinds of weird pressure on people.

I don't think prosecution of capitalism is uncalled for here.

Punishing people? That's literally unscientific and automatically socially damaging.
Interesting that this is even possible. I would've thought each core would have to implement it independently and many would not ever be compatible with it.
In my experience, print statements should be the starting point because they offer a fast and easy solution and can help you first of all confirm that you're looking at the right part of the code.

One point when I switch from print to debugger is when I need to run the thing over and over again switching print statements on the way – at that point it makes sense to bring in a debugger tool, halt the execution and explore what's wrong.

I'm sorry, having a toilet instead of a hole in the ground, having proper housing, not having a high chance of dying from poverty, having free healthcare, not having every other street in the city be a huge dumpster, etc. are not "bread and circuses". They are very real, very tangible improvements in quality of life. Your comment boils down again to the tendency to consider political freedom to be the only valid form of freedom.

The hard data from a decade of research is very clear about the fact that Chinese people are overall very satisfied about the direction of their country. No matter what rhetoric you employ, you argue purely from your own perspective and your values. That is fine — for your own country. The Chinese people should have a right to disagree with you on what they value in their own country.
Your comment is a sarcastic take, but comments along those lines were what some of us pointed out last year. While people were under lockdown, money didn't circulate enough for it to be reflective in terms of inflation (excepting the stock/crypto market). EU opened up briefly for the mid-Summer (covid pass) till mid-Autumn and then closed back up. Then some countries gave up on the covid battle and started reopening during the winter holidays and stayed open since.

> France had one of the most advanced nuclear facilities on the globe. And instead of investing in it, Macron sold it off to GE

That is misleading. The nuclear facilities were not sold to GE, only Alstom Power Systems, which engineers turbines. (The nuclear engineering part was never sold.) Furthermore, it was sold for $13B and is being rebought by the French EDF €175M.
As far as labor competition, that only works if there are a wide variety of employers, rather than a few primary employers (Amazon, Walmart) who can effective set wages prices. Labor competition has also gone international, driving labor wages down in the US. Factors like these account for the relatively flat growth in bottom-level wages relative to CEO/shareholder wages, which have skyrocketed throughout the past 40-year neoliberal globalization period.

As far as this round of inflation, monetary supply arguments are a bit specious. The Fed's 'quantitative easing' (money printing goess brrrrr) is pretty trickle-down Reaganomics in practice, although they could have just printed monthly checks for average citizens instead of giving it all to large banks and corporations, who use it for things like stock buybacks.

A more plausible explanation is breakdown in the global supply chains and failure to build up resilient infrastructure domestically. Consider gasoline and diesel prices, which have knock-on effects in all transportation-related sectors (food delivery, goods delivery, commuter costs, etc.). In 2015 US crude oil exports were allowed for the first time since the early 1970s and at least one major refinery was closed. This has clearly impacted the supply of refined products in the USA:

"U.S. Fuel Exports Are Draining Domestic Diesel And Gasoline Supplies, May 2022"

https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/US-Fuel-E...

This is at least a simple concept: reduce supply when demand remains constant and prices will go up, aka inflation.
Better dead than red (progressive/communist) is a statement a lot of people would agree with in the US.
No, the idea that administrations game the numbers to support their previous actions and future proposals is a given. Diagnosing people as mentally ill because they understand this is scary.

The real problem is this class of claim:

There are secret statistics that support my reaction, which would without those statistics be obviously irrational. I do not have access to these statistics, because their existence is being intentionally hidden from me, but from my trips to the grocery store and discussions in the breakroom, I know what they are intuitively, with a fairly high precision. I have been confirmed correct by some people I've met on the internet who are saying the same thing.

If you felt this way, and could find enough people who also think this is true, you should be able to do a survey on your own, more representative basket of goods, and come up with a number that you find more meaningful. If you couldn't, you could at least attack the current basket of goods and methodology with specific criticisms, rather than vaguely plausible FUD. Instead, vaguely plausible FUD rules, because statistics that are not being offered are unfalsifiable.
If you need to rebuild the kernel to disable it, it means it was there to begin with.

This made me laugh. Back in the late 1970s, there was suspicion that the Soviet Union a had completely tapped the AT&T phone network on the East coast. I cannot remember the author of the article, but they stated that every American having any telephone call with anyone on the East coast should toss in a number of different key words to overwhelm the ability of the USSR to gather any useful intelligence, because they would be overwhelmed by data. Then they gave a list of keywords. I wish I had saved it. So my brother and I, when we called each other, would toss in the occasional 'enriched uranium' 'satellite imagery' 'battalion' 'missile test' 'weapons research' and other nonsense into our conversation.

I don't know what I found funnier, the idea that some poor fool at a Soviet embassy had to listen to our conversation because a key word hit caused the recording to be saved, or the idea that the author even proposed that the idea would work.
Good riddance, happy for the people of SF.

Maybe issue is similar to the USA -- shared currency, wildly different costs of living.

That and the Germans or whatever think inflation caused WWII, so they... pushed a bunch of stupid policies that caused inflation because they also are scared of atoms.

We could have built safe breeder reactors to bridge the gap to solar, instead of, but Jill Stein's Russian Dolls "roved" across America, flinging Russian money around in such a manner we're gonna have to protest so they ban fracking in the parks next to playgrounds after a decade of being placed on lists for things as simple as attending a documentary where they show video of some poor bastard being able to set his tapwater on fire.[1]

Great project; I'd have loved to have had it when I was writing my dissertation - hell, I'd have liked anything that would have let me write it in vim and just generate the final submission per the university's format, because I hate Word.
I can agree with this but basket substitution is the dirty little secret of economists.

If the cost of meat goes up so much that everyone starts eating dog food, the inflation print will barely rise at all.

It's not a real measure for QoL which I hope most people would accept as being what societies actually strive for.

In fact most measures like GDP and a few others have no real bearing on increased living standards. GDP per capita should be the only real number when talking about economic growth for starters. Even then catastrophes like natural disasters and war bump up those numbers due to rebuilding so it's still quite a rough metric to report on each year.
That is a huge stretch.
The US is under policed compared to any Western European country. Its rate of murder per capita is above practically all European countries when excluding gun homicides.

It should at least have as many police per capita as Spain, 534/100k, not 239, which is less than even Taiwan.

It scales up quite well too, and it actually does a whole lot more (for instance documentation and so on).
> companies they’ve worked for are actually providing any benefit to society and are perhaps even a net negative

Right? When I started out, 1/3 of my interviews were with gambling machine companies, another was with a company that only existed to arbitrage betting odds for their own profit, and one was some kind of quasi-AI surveillance thing.

A lot of GDP is generated on completely parasitic activities, and you can do a lot worse for society than running a "soft" business ethically and happily.
> we also need a short term solution of preventing people who shouldn't have access to guns in the first place.

The republicans are that way because a lot of measures to "preventing people who shouldn't have access to guns in the first place" use the large hammer of just banning guns for everyone instead of only those who should. Now they are scared of any attempt to do anything because historically it has taken away guns from safe gun owners who just enjoy them.

There is also the moral hazard: who decides who is safe to have a gun - with careful work you can take guns away from people you don't like.

Anytime someone mentions the AMA I just have to ignore them completely. It’s not that the AMA hasn’t done some shady shit throughout the years (especially the 60s), it’s just that in 2022 they are so close to irrelevant that painting them as a boogieman merely shows that your name information is about 50 years out of date.
The “medical cartel” as you call it is more and more getting shaped by a number or powerful interest groups none of which are the AMA that is pushing somewhat successfully for fewer doctors in most specialities.

There seems to be a certain species of naive leftist who is about as clueless about economics and how to get things done as some rightists are about things like womens' reproductive health. Stuff like "we need to subsidize mortgages to bring down housing costs" or "stop evil developers! housing is too expensive!" is the same level of ideologically driven willful stupidity as "a woman can't get pregnant from rape."
Where did OP scapegoat any of these groups you mention?
It seems like it's hard to know:

No, man, no. It's not hard to know. Pro-crime policies increase crime. That's what they do, and that's their entire purpose.

Everyone here seems to think this guy was acting in good faith. No. He comes from a proud terrorist tradition [1], and he's playing his part. Almost every "right wing" news source points out that he is bankrolled by George Soros, and the left (Who could hardly stop repeating "Koch Brothers" whenever they could) needs to realize that there are powerful forces out their intentionally trying to harm society.

[1] Literally.
No. Whatever qualities, privileges or detriments that ignorant others ascribe to my skin color are not my fault or my responsibility to feel guilty over. This applies in all cases for anyone of any color.

What's more, your simplistic, ignorant color-based dismissal of an entire and enormous range of historical, cultural and personal history differences between certain eastern Europeans and certain other Europeans is no less insulting than the kind of low key racism that some people apply by labeling all blacks or brown-skinned people the same. The differences in both cases are emphatically not negligible. That you openly think this way is likely only because it's been instilled as politically acceptable. It sure as hell has no real merit.

That some so-called progressives often think this way today is a sad reminder of how old stupidities can come full circle to infect new generations.

If starting a service has dependencies, not explicitly spelling out those dependencies and relying on the init system is akin to relying on unspecified behaviour. So among other things, don't be surprised if that's unreliable.

A lot of it had to do with the really weird demand patterns that developed over the last two years. We went from 100 demand to 20 as lockdowns happened, then 200 demand as economies opened, then back to 20 again as a new wave of lockdowns took hold.

If you were a manufacturer, you had no real way to deal with this unpredictability. Do you add capacity to cater to the post-lockdown 200 demand? If you do, you might end up with too much inventory as demand goes back to the usual 100.

Throw in the clogged up ports and higher input costs due to Russia-Ukraine war and we have this strange period where everyone is confused and no one really knows what to do
SF (and California in general) have this reputation for being some kind of crazy leftist/communist utopia (or dystopia, depending on your political leanings), but it's really pretty moderate, capitalist, and even conservative in some ways.

>Because we aren't spending enough on K-12 education already?

At the federal level? Not really. The Department of Education is something like less than 1% of the federal budget.

Furthermore the problem comes down to how schools are actually funded. In the US, it's almost entirely through local property taxes. Which means that racial and socioeconomic segregation cause children to be doomed to an underfunded school district, perpetuating the cycle.
The comment didn’t say “we need to spend more on policing” - it said “we need more policing.”

Well, since we're going a little mad with speculation in this thread, I have to point out that true one-shot learning (as opposed to "one-billion-plus-one-shot") works just fine, but only in the symbolic machine learning paradigm. For example, see:

https://github.com/stassa/louise#capabilities

In particular the second example listed there. A trivial example, but one that cannot be reproduced by current approaches without big-data pre-training.

I bring up the 80/20% training/test split that is standard in machine learning because I remember an interaction with my supervisor at the start of my PhD. In one of our meetings my supervisor asked me about the details of some experiments I was running, with a system called metagol (linked from the Louise repository above). En passant, I mentioned that I was training with a 20/80% training/test split and my supervisor stopped me to ask me if I thought that was a standard setup for machine learning. Thinking he meant the splitting of my training data to training and testing partitions I answered, a bit bemused, that yes, of course, that's the standard thing. To which my supervisor laughed and replied "I don't think so". Later of course I realised that he meant that the done thing in machine learning is to use most of the data for training and leave as little as possible for testing.

In Inductive Logic Programming, it's typically the other way around, and the training sets are often a few examples, like a dozen or so. Of course our systems don't do the spectacular, impressive things that deep learning systems do, but then again deep learning systems aren't anywhere near ILP approaches for sample complexity and robust generalisation from very few examples (as in one). And of course we don't have a dozen thousand graduates racing to out-do each other with new feats of engineering. Which is a bit of a shame because I think that if we had a couple more hundred people working on ILP, we 'd make huge progress in applications, as well as in understanding of machine learning in general. And the resulting systems would address many of the current concerns (mine anyway) about the use of machine learning in science (e.g. no more black boxes; "ultra-strong machine learning" in Donald Michie's sense of a system that improves the performance of its user; etc).

Oh well. It's probably all for the best. Who wants to build genuinely useful and intelligent systems anyway?

We actually did a small meetup about backstage last month. We had devs from Spotify, American Airlines, and Zalando, talking about their own (very big) instances of backstage.

A few years ago, I worked at a place that wanted to terminate someone for basically gross incompetence and harassment. The person was bad at their job and would yell at anyone who tried to fix anything they made. There was a lot of hand-wringing in the company about how exactly they were going to fire this person, because they also happened to be a black woman. Now, that was certainly also an instance of prejudice on the company's part--assuming a black woman would be more likely to sue for wrongful dismissal--but the point is that a lot of concern and effort was put in to making sure the firing of this woman was not in any way motivated by race.

At the same time, I knew a couple of project leads, two men, who were themselves Indian, who openly discussed their hatred of Pakistani people. If a Pakistani person ended up on one of their projects, they would just lie about that person's performance, say whatever was necessary to get them reassigned or fired. People knew what they were like. But no scrutiny was ever applied to these guys.

I don't think "racism towards white people [has] become acceptable". What I think is happening is that racism from white people is getting a lot more scrutiny, but that same scrutiny is not being applied to all people. Many working environments are getting more diverse, so we end up getting exposed to opinions that we've just never had the chance to hear before. If this had been 50 years ago, two Indian guys would probably have the same opinions about Pakistani people. But they also probably wouldn't have been project leads at such-and-such company.
I completely agree with you and that’s the thing; he was sentenced to 7 years in 2019 but he’s already out of prison and has a passport. He was free in less than 3.

He is presumably out on some kind of supervised release which is probably good. He had the motivation and ability to execute on an admittedly illegal business — he can now put those same skills to work doing something productive and the supervision will presumably make sure he isn’t committing fraud or anything.
