I'll give you credit, deflecting to bonds is a new one!

I'll quote myself:

"It's really interesting that whenever I bring up blockchain explorers and the fact that blockchain has the most transparent and reliable adoption metrics ever no one takes me up on an analysis of the data and deflects to virtually anything else instead."

Again, trading on crypto exchanges has nothing to do with the technology or use of a blockchain.

I'm not fixated on payments. I don't care what the activity/use is as long as it uses the actual technology and network (which is reflected in blockchain explorers).

$550 for refurb (like new) iPhone XR Sep 2020 on eBay.

I hpreviously ad a BLU R2+ from 2017, but Google's updates (that I had disabled, but the did them anyway) broke so much stuff that I switched to iPhone. At the end, I couldn't even zoom a picture without it crashing the built-in photo viewer app. I didn't have a single app loaded that didn't come with the phone (used it just as a phone).

Been very happy with the iPhone. It doesn't bug me about waiting to give permission for everything all the time like Android did.
Today, it seems to me that Sami have more rights than other citizens. They have all the same rights that other citizens do, but in addition, they have these special rights to be the only ones allowed to hunt on certain government lands etc.

I don't think most people realize that to be successful you have to have the right combination of people including a great development team, great salespeople, great marketers, and great management. Any hole or negative value people in your team and you will not be successful.

And you need luck, you have to have a team that can deliver and a lot of luck.

Most people aren't that good. There are a lot of people that are just so-so and it can be hard to figure who is good and who isn't. That is part of the luck. There are a lot of people that can't handle working with other good people for reasons. There are a lot of companies that build a great team but are missing a critical element and go nowhere or implode.

We worship the survivors thinking that something in the mostly made up story will tell us how to succeed. It will not, they almost always forget about the other great people around them that were just a critical as they were. They always forget how much luck played in their success.

Software companies die because the whole isn't static, the thing that make you successful yesterday isn't cutting it today and most people can't change with the times. Most people never move on from their high point in life and don't understand why things that worked in the past no longer work.
Thanks. That aligns with my fuzzier understanding.
Businesses and services that were absolutely overrun a year ago are now dead quiet. You go to change a car title or renew your license and you will be seen right away instead of waiting 2 hours. Same thing with restaurants and bars. I went the other night and was pleasantly surprised that it was just me and the barman. People are already reflexively pulling back on discretionary items. It won't be long before we have a surge in car repossessions and foreclosures. Kind of hard to justify paying on a car you can't even afford to put gas in.
> What's your solution? Ban sugar, alcohol and social media? Padding on the sidewalks?

There isn't "one solution". And bans generally are not a solution.

But we need to fight with the same weapons they're fighting, for example, let's take sugar and unhealthy foods.

They're presenting their food as fun and glamorous, let's blow that up, like we did for tobacco.

No more mass advertising for it, anywhere. Horrible labels showing disfigured obese people that are suffering because of their addiction to junk food.

The food is cheap because they use crap ingrediens? Let's tax food based on universal standards agreed upon not by the industry, but by healthcare specialists. The more you're off the mark from healthy food, the more you get taxed (excises, same as for alcohol and tobacco).

Heck, I'd earmark those excises as funding for subsidies meant for producers of healthy, bio foods.

These junk food companies are making their stuff cool, so let's prevent that and they're making it cheap by passing their externalities to us (diminished long term health) so let's make their food more expensive and let's make the healthy stuff cheaper.

Ah, more than that, quotas of healthy food in every place serving or offering food. Get rid of food deserts. Poor people with low mobility should have access to healthy food at decent prices.

Yes, this is all very complicates. Yes, it's very political.

But doing nothing achieves nothing. Worse than that, doing nothing actively degrades the situation since these actors are actively harming people in very subtle ways.

Important distinction there between the monetizeable users who are bots vs all bots, and certainly key to advertising revenue.

The more key metric for the integrity of the platform, it's ability to be a trustworthy indicator of real people's sentiments, vs firehoses of disinformation into a cesspool of lies and fake interactions, is not the percentage of bots (monetizable or not), but the percentage of bot vs real person posts.

I mean, by the same logic, you could also say it's also a cynical interpretation of the high school clique...

Another way to look at [high school cliques] is that people who other people want to be around get high [social] ratings. Is that bad?

From experience: yes, it is. The fact that this criticism can be reframed in a way that hides the problem, that something we've all experienced becomes invisible, shows that it is a problem. There is a kind of problem with group social dynamics that can't be easily ironed out; the real experience of existing high school cliques is proof of this. Unsurprisingly, this same problem that comes up in high schools appears in workplaces also.

Tailwind's implementation is a total mess. I have a custom preset for UnoCSS [1] focused on Tailwind compatability and use that for my company's low code platform. It's a couple orders of magnitude better for both size and latency and switching has allowed me to delete all the supporting code I'd written to work around Tailwind-the-implementation's shortcomings. I have minor complaints about Uno but I recommend it if you're having trouble with Tailwind.

[1] https://github.com/unocss/unocss

If you mean build your own design system then I've built four separate design systems in SCSS since 2009. I've been fine with switching to Tailwind instead because I can get similar results customizing the theme, it's more comprehensive than my systems, and the network effect advantages of somethign popular vs my one-off thing.
It's not the kind of thing Google's internal metrics for job performance cares about. It's a generic/useless error message because there's no incentive for their developers to improve UX. It's probably been there since the first MVP they made.

No, but if I'm going to reproduce your recipe for muffins and announce whether it works or not, I gotta follow your recipe.

If I swap the chocolate chips for blueberries and the muscovado sugar for maple syrup and the muffins come out wrong, I can hardly claim I've proven your recipe is wrong.

Obviously I can only nutshell it here for you. Their research delved into self-estimates of expertise compared with objective measurement of expertise. To an extent, they proved the old lamentation that fools are confident and wise men are cautious.

There's a difference between consoles and macOS, though. Anyone buying a console is in the market for games, but the same cannot be said about anyone buying a Mac. It's worth dealing with the proprietary API for PlayStation because the PS5 can sell games at huge quantities, and with DirectX you not only get the Xbox market, you get the PC market practically for free. You'll need to do some fine tuning to get PC levels of compatibility, but that's less work than writing against an entirely different graphics API.

Mac users generally don't tend to game on Mac. This also means there are fewer experts on writing game engines for metal than there are for alternative platforms. I don't see why that would change any time soon, and that's why I don't think programming for Metal will be worth the extra effort and cost.

I definitely believe that this can be done. It all boils down to drawing triangles real quick and Metal is just a new way of specifying how to make those triangles appear. I just think it's economically unfeasible to invest much time into Mac gaming.

I think it's much easier and probably cheaper to just throw the game on Stadia/GeForce Now to reach Mac/ChromeOS/Android gamers. All they need is a browser and a decent internet connection.
Why would anyone support a deprecated browser?
I don't think being the best at planning means much when you change those plans mid project.
> It's so clear, so elegant.

The thesis of Tailwind is that the cascade actually becomes very unclear and inelegant at scale, and I would say the reason it's so popular is that many devs share that experience.
> perfectly legitimate reasons.

Can you elaborate on these legitimate reasons?
> A $500 Chromebook won't play most games even if it could run Windows, and that's the performance level many people are at. Developers like their shiny, fast, expensive machines and PC gaming enthusiasts love their 3080s and 6900XTs but your average person doesn't have any of that.

Yeah, a $500 chromebook won't, but a $500 gaming laptop will. Gaming laptops are far cheaper and more capable than people expect. They just aren't super thin, are heavier, and they tend to need a beefy power supply. My laptop is like 4 years old or so, has a 2080RTX, and cost I think $800 at the time. It's been able to run everything I've thrown at it at max settings, save VR.

I couldn't agree more, they're getting so bad lately.

I wonder how viable would be to patch GTK3 and 4 libraries so that software using them will retain logical compatibility without recompiling, at least those loading them dynamically, but "normal" windows and widgets will be used instead.

Yeah, but even better Rust has `except`, but that's besides the point. Rust doesn't pretend to by a pure language, it just promises to be a safe language as long as you don't use `unsafe`. Haskell makes a big fuss about how it's pure and productive because you have fewer bugs. And this is true as long as you're writing pure data processing or algorithmic code. But as soon as you stray from that and try to build a practical program, you'll need the IO monad and it sucks, even Java deals better with exceptions than Haskell. All the type class expressiveness in the world, and they couldn't figure out how to model exceptions. And it used to be that Haskell could just introduce backwards incompatible changes because it was a research language. But now Haskell is used widely in production, and even though it's in desperate need of a new Prelude, it's not gonna happen.

When someone who truly believed in that Haskell could be a proper modern programming tool and invested their hard work and frankly their genius into it, they Haskell leadership responded with skepticism and inaction. I bet if you gave Snoyman full dictatorship over a new Haskell prelude, it would be the best general purpose programming language by a mile for the next decade at least. Instead Haskell will remain as backwards as its ISO 8859-1 String type.
Governments are in a privileged position to get this data and they likely have it and have reasonable models.

The classic knob to influence inflation is interest rates. This can be also be modeled. Non-politicised civil servants have a good record of being able to do a reasonable job at this - only if the politics are removed. In my opinion, removing all political allegiance for civil servant agencies is probably the best way to get better long term stability and prosperity.

Well you need to consider what treasury yields represent. They are the market response from thousands of participants with hundreds of billions of dollars of skin in the game to the question “What will you pay today for a dollar in 3 months? What will you pay today for a dollar in 10 years?”

That market consensus captures a lot of information and boils it down to its essence.

Pretty sure you haven’t really looked at Tailwind.

It’s as semantic as you make it. And it works without JS.
Many thanks for sharing those! I hadn't seen them before, even though I was looking for other projects like cred.

Microsoft’s insistence on backward compatibility comes with its own issues including the snails pace of moving forward with any new feature. If you use a Windows 10 Surface laptop today, you still will occasionally see Windows 95 dialogue boxes.

Apple not only removed 32 bit compatibility in their OS’s. They also removed it from the actual hardware allowing them to improve their chipsets much faster than x86.

Not mention that they can use the core OS with everything from watches, phones, computers, tablets, speakers, set top boxes and monitors (yes the latest monitors run iOS).

It seems to have worked better for Apple.

Batteries are getting cheaper all the time as we get better at manufacturing them, and we haven't hit the inflection point on cost decreases yet, and we haven't scaled lithium production yet. And we haven't fully developed other chemistries such as iron-air that promise to be even cheaper than lithium ion and have far higher capacity/power ratios.

Chemical storage of energy is highly inefficient, which is fine when we have super super cheap energy, but the capital costs of conversion and storage will probably require nearly continuous usage of the, say, electrolyzers in order to make the storage project feasible.

Perhaps you are right, and I really appreciate you laying out your reasoning, but I would bet otherwise about grid storage! None of the players for doing alternatives are anywhere near market ready, and batteries are being deployed today. As they get cheaper they will be deployed even more.
This thing branched horribly. You had to use instructions to selectively write to distinct memory locations to avoid typical branching because misprediction was expensive.

This was Frostbite/Battlefield 3 era. Good Times.
Here’s another thought:
Decreasing communication costs decreases the optimal organization size.

In the days of horse-delivered mail, you wanted all your employees in one big building, and you wanted to cover all the functions inside your own org so you don’t have to send many slow, expensive letters.

Fast forward to email and zoom and automated SaaS businesses - there is very little friction in engaging a third party to do the things you don’t specialize in. You don’t need any employees beyond your core team anymore.
Of course it's easy to cherry pick in hindsight. But we're talking about people with cash right now, they are investing at current valuations not valuations from 6 months ago.
It is the complex plane, x is real, y is imaginary.

the author should have clarified this, you are correct, as the author also makes clear he is writing for a non-technical audience.

He probably forgot to mention it because the concept is so fundamental to signal processing that he assumed it was common knowledge.
> It used to be that inflation fueled spending because people figured they should buy it now because it will cost more later. They’d figure there is no point in saving because the value of money will get eroded.

I highly doubt this was ever the case, rather than what some orthodox econ types told themselves without evidence.

I'm not Swiss, but a quick peruse of Wikipedia says that this is no longer the case except for ~ 2,000 specialist militia members at any given time - the Swiss keep their militia-issued firearms in the home but ammunition is kept in government armouries.

You can purchase your militia firearm after your service has ended but it must be converted to semi-automatic and you have to apply for a permit - a semi-automatic firearm would fall under the "may-issue" permits which requires justification for why you need said firearm, and it seems that ammunition falls under the same rules. It'd be great if a Swiss person could chime in since I don't know anything more than what I've gleaned from this article.

People in the 1960's thought inflation would be benign for stocks because earnings go up with inflation but the 1970s was a bad decade for stocks.

The 2010s were a great decade for stocks, the 2020s might not be. That too changes the psychology.

The good times in stocks were supported by very low interest rates, which some people call "financial repression" -- despite that there was tremendous demand for "stablecoins" (government bonds) even at negative real interest rates.

Even if you believe conditions are right for technological and social progress, interest rates will be a headwind for the stock market if they revert to the mean.

Can a company make an offer outside its stated range?

E.g. What if Microsoft has a job opening with a range of $110k - $170k, and the candidate they selected used to make $180k and would like $200k? Will Microsoft offer him or her the 200k they seek or offer 170k and lose their candidate?

If salary ranges can be bypassed, then they are not really useful, and if they can't, by law, companies could skirt the law by offering higher bonuses and more stock, or else lose on talent. Or the company could close the job opening, and create a new posting with an updated range for the sole purpose of being legally able to hire their candidate. Which would still invalidate the spirit of the law.

I'm not sure these salary transparency laws are good for workers or companies alike.

I'm always amazed with how big tech companies get in terms of employee count. I once wandered the engineering area of the HQ (with an employee) of a FAANG (MAANG sounds... silly) and made a tick mark on my notebook when I saw someone actually coding - or at least having code on screen. There were over 1200 people on the development team and at the time most worked out of HQ. So... when I was done walking, I had 22 tick marks. Lots of email, lots of documents, and very little programming.
