Both. When money is free flowing it's easy to avoid hard decisions (in business money hides many mistakes). Companies may continue to fund projects that should be cut or hire instead of optimizing a process. Prioritization alignment meetings end with everything is a priority.

In ABNBs case, business going to almost zero overnight was a forcing function to a level not often seen. After being forced to lean up and prioritize, they were well positioned for the market to improve.

Sure, but tide and wave models generally cover a much larger area, such as whole coastal area's and over larger time spans. An example of such a model would be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eN6CDaoMZ7U In the Netherlands this is used e.g. to determine when to close the storm surge barriers to protect the river delta area from flooding due to a tide+storm combination.

In contrast, the Next Ocean product is meant to model the direct area around a single ship, predicting minutes in advance with a second by second granularity. They are able to reuse the raw data coming from the navigation radar that is already installed on every sea-going ship. It uses the backscatter from water ripples to determine the wave field around the ship. Interestingly, for navigational purposes exactly this part of the data is considered noise and filtered out by the on board navigation system.

[I did some work on the software implementation for Next Ocean a couple of years back]

Anyway, neither type of model has anything to do with rogue waves.

Gardening. You can look up stuff for an area, but you might have plants locally with specific needs. Or people with rain catchments.

Our local monsoon season was weeks of great thunderstorms twenty years ago and is now a period of humidity. Stuff like this makes it “real.” Aka resistant to gaslighting.
This isn’t really relevant to the current discussion about how much extra time is spent on “work” beyond normal working hours. Working ~40 hours a week and choosing to spend most of your other conscious hours consuming media is a different situation from spending most/all of your hours on the latter.
For anyone who hasn't figured it out by now, every coin with some guy or team or venture capitalist or a combination thereof behind it is a scam for self-enrichment, and eventual rug pool or a failure, after they've sold their pre-minded coins, Bitcoin is the only truly decentralized, secure, digital gold. Are just scams that won't eventually go the way of Luna and the others

Technically so do ZGC/Shanandoah/C4.

All three use load-barriers which result in more work done in application threads as the pressure on the GC increases.

That said these GCs are substantially better than the Go GC so you are talking about much higher allocation throughput before running into these issues in practice vs Go.

"make one to throw away" is important to grok.

Don't base code on something you are going to throw away, stems logically from actually believing that you are "making one to throw away".

"make one with decent tests" is the next lesson to grok. If you are going to throw it away, you will benefit from the tests immediately.

Apple Explains Why Stage Manager Is Limited to M1 iPads in New Statement
This week I spoke at PlatformCon about Growing into Platform Engineering, sharing my experience leading such a team as we scaled the engineering org.

Given my talk notes were pretty detailed, figured I'd turn them into a blog post that I could share on HN as well.

The post includes pragmatic steps you can take before going all-in on internal dev platforms, useful for platform engineers within growing orgs, in the form of three stories grounded in my experience.

Hope people find it useful!
You should consider reading the HN guidelines:

This makes a lot of sense. I use Notesnook [0] which also encrypts everything client side. It also doesn't export attachments in the automatic backups. I asked the devs and this is done to save user's bandwidth and also to make everything more reliable. Suppose the user's internet is slow or metered, what should be done then? Would the backup never be taken? That's obviously a bad idea since the notes are too important not to backup.

So it makes a sacrifice on the attachments to make sure backup of the more important stuff keeps working even when there's no internet. Moreover downloading all the attachments takes a lot of time and doing it every day (or whatever interval) wouldn't be a good user experience.

I think the Notesnook guys were thinking of adding cloud-to-cloud backups for attachments to work around this reliably.

You misunderstood me. I was responding to a comment that execs must be paid enough money to never need to work again because they may be "unemployable" if they are fired. I was making the case that this isn't literally true, and even if they have to go back to the job they were doing before becoming an exec (and I don't know if Sandberg was ever a PM), it's not some terrible situation. Obviously Sandberg isn't going to become a PM. But she might have if she was only worth 1.6m and for some reason really unhireable for another CXO position.

Unless an exec is fired for financial fraud or serious misconduct (and even the latter isn't always a barrier, there are many counterexamples) they'll pretty much always find another role of equal status, if maybe not equal comp, if they want it.
This is an interesting paper in a lot of ways. I think the least interesting part is what most media is reporting, that shockingly, Bitcoin didn't suddenly become a massively decentralized network in its first two years of operation.

The most intriguing part to me is this: "game in which anonymous players can choose to exploit, and thereby undermine, an appreciating good...we show that, even when individual payoffs are unchanged, cooperation is more frequent when the game is played by an anonymous group."

Is the meeting scheduled or is it ad hoc? Set up an agenda for the topics to talk about using email. Then answer as many questions as possible through email. Chances are the meeting will be killed because most of the points have been answered.

Even if it's ad hoc. What's the meeting about? Then get specific. Then answer through text.

I think we covered everything. Is there anything else? Rinse, repeat.

Put constraints: topics, duration, time of day, day.

Put mutual exclusion: I'm working on this very important thing priority we agreed was next. Is the meeting more important than delivering this? Nope. If I'm on this meeting, I'm not working on this.

There must be a price to schedule a meeting so it's not free to waste everyone's time.

It works great with people who love to talk and can go on for hours without much signal.

The way I do it with the team for our platform is that we use the platform itself: it has a real-time collaborative notebook.

The team members will write down the topics and questions they'd like to address whenever they can (asynchronously).

Sometimes, someone will answer a question or clarify a point written by another, with references to issues or merge requests or external resources. All that is in the notebook.

The meeting time will be set collaboratively according to everyone's availability and agreed upon.

We get on a call and we all have the notebook open where we see each other's cursor and changes live.

We go over each issue. Sometimes, we'll add example code that can run right into the notebook (which is our minutes of meeting).

We come up with decisions. We prioritize. This is next. X will do Y. Z can help on that. W has answered that in issue U.

Meeting's over.
My first name asserted in a conversation is one, as it's sufficient to define an endpoint for a low value transaction. 1:1 with cash or bitcoin is easy, because it's a straight retail transction. It only gets complicated when you have an intermediary. Identity is mainly a problem for dealing with intermediaries, and not for people who want to do things.
Considering the current situation, it's also a sure way of getting less donations as people would think it's based in Russia (which, if they move their huge amount of servers there, it would be). I'm not sure Brewster Kahle would want to have that kind of association.

I'm aware that there are several projects that aim to "bank the unbanked". The existence of projects that claim to solve an issue does not prove that the issue is solved or even addressed. I don't see any numbers or even anecdotes on how effective these projects are at achieving their goals.

How many formerly unbanked are now banked thanks to blockchain? And I don't mean that theoretically, as in, "any Somalian farmer could in theory access banking services through the blockchain right now", I mean "how many people who had no access to trustworthy financial institutions in the past, are now actively using blockchain-based alternatives for financial services?"
I see a lot of governments in Europe subsidizing gasoline but at the same time I hear of record profits for oil companies. At what point are we (the tax payer) directly paying for those profits?

This seems like an absolute perversion of capitalism where on one side "free" markets allow for such prices and on the other side the government is giving tax money to those same companies.

Again we seem to have a trickle up economy. This can't go on forever.
The tech (money) has already been adopted by human society as a whole though. So it's not about pushing tech onto human society, but upgrading the existing tech.

> It’s like giving up on solving the underlying issues that give humans the above-mentioned motivation to betray each other, and instead baking into the fabric society an assumption that it’s human nature to be this way.

Not all humans are that way, but those who desire power tend to be. I simply don't trust those in power to manage the money properly. It's too much power for anyone to wield. This is not theory; the historical record is damning for fiat money.

Also, as the world has become more globalized, a world reserve currency has emerged. It makes trade easier if everyone has $USD on hand. However, other countries shouldn't have to trust in the good faith in the U.S. government just to engage in global commerce.
Bitcoin institutions are objectively untrustworthy and most people involved in Bitcoin have no real choice but to rely on them. I trust, say, Citibank more than Bitfinex.
This applies especially in the UK, where it can be pouring with rain for an hour where I live, but beautiful sunshine 2 miles away where my brother lives. The country is an island with hills everywhere and a flat east coast. The Met office data doesn't really have the resolution wanted for some people.

The adage if you don't like the weather in the UK, wait 5 minutes, is also perfectly accurate.

> (dao is a loosely defined word, except where legally defined and protected as in Wyoming)

Looking very closely at the link you give in another document, you have to specifically go through a registration process to register as a DAO in Wyoming, and get the legal benefits of becoming a LLC.

> At any rate, no, there is no way that any online organized group of people will be determined to be legally and universally and internationally jointly and severally liable.

That's not how the law works. If you've got (a) two or more people that (b) agree to do something in partnership [it does not need to even be a written agreement], then by default, you have created a general partnership. An "online organized group of people" is--you guessed it--a group of two or more people that agreed to do something in partnership, so you've got a general partnership, unless someone has a quantum of legal knowledge and takes steps to form any kind of legal governance other than a general partnership. And you've got any legal knowledge, you'll avoid a general partnership, because that means every partner is jointly and severally liable.

Sure, you can override this if you take the proper legal steps. But given how much the crypto community seems to spend trying to claim the law doesn't apply to them (e.g., code is law), I'm skeptical that very many DAOs have taken the appropriate legal steps to avoid forming a general partnership.

> The state government is actively criminalizing any kind of gender-affirming treatment for LGBTQ+ youth

That's a good thing, considering that "gender-affirming treatment" is a euphemism for sterilizing the child, excising healthy body parts, and leaving them with lifelong health issues.

If they really want to go through all that, they can wait until they're an adult and see if it's still an issue then. A child cannot possibly give meaningful consent to these procedures.
I think these people are missing the broader implication.

Strange, ironic loop.
You can't regulate capable competition into existence. PalmOS and Windows Phone/Mobile/10 both died because their parent companies screwed up.

PalmOS was a painfully out of date design by the time it got stuck on phones. No amount of regulation was going to solve the clusterfuck of Palm and PalmSource. Nor was regulation going to make Cobalt actually ship and work as advertised.

Regulation also wasn't going to stop Microsoft from screwing up Windows Mobile. After the iPhone's release the WinMo 6.x development was an obvious dead end for licensees. Android was just a better response to iOS than WinMo. Microsoft then knifed the platform moving to 7 giving licensees even less reason to use it. Regulation wasn't going to make companies license a dead end platform.

An OS landscape isn't vibrant or exciting when established players just stop meaningful development or just have a shit vision. Apple showed the multitouch and a soft keyboard could be practical on a mobile device. Palm and Microsoft were stuck iterating a design from 1995. No regulation was going to fix their lack of imagination.

Yes, but it is not being ble to add custom options that makes this a total barrier. It's not just Startpage, of course. I have written at length about this [0]. Ironically, Apple is a bigger block on search competition than Google and Microsoft; at least you can add custom options in Chrome and Edge. Still you can certainly argue it is the Apple-Google deal that is a root cause. We don't now what the deal is between Apple-Microsoft (Bing and Bing syndicates) but this may have a big influence too.

> Just as a thought experiment: if a DAO was created by 7 random people on the internet from Dubai, Latvia, Colombia, Australia, Singapore, Switzerland, and Taiwan, how exactly would you go about bringing a lawsuit against them from the United States? And how would you target them on a "jointly and severally liable" basis?

Sue the Australian in the Australian court--common law jurisdiction, so it's going to be quite similar to US laws, and personal jurisdiction over them in Australia isn't going to be hard to establish. I get the judgement against them for the full amount, and it's their problem to get the other 6 people to pony up their share. That's what "jointly and severally liable" means: I only need to go after one person for any claims I have; it's their problem to get the pain distributed.
