Are you sure you haven't received a fake product? How do you know? The fakes are so good much of the time that you may never know if you have received a fake.

I have received 5+ fake products and stopped ordering on Amazon a few years ago. Not worth it, too much risk. Would never, ever, order food from there, or anything you put on your body, or anything electronic, etc. Way too risky.

It doesn't need to be.

For example I do personal customer support for ~40,000 folks who take one of my video courses (programming and tech related).

I often write personalized multi-sentence responses to their issues and follow up to reply back to them as many times as needed to get it fixed within minutes or hours of a request coming in.

I think the big difference there is it's my business. The best possible customer experience outcome is the only option in my mind, if it would even hint at being anything less then I wouldn't have this business anymore.
The quantum substrate being non-deterministic doesn't mean that free-will exists/doesn't exist. It has to be shown as such.

What is happening at the quantum level, to the extent that we can understand it, isn't directly translatable into a non-deterministic world at the higher macro level. And so, we do expect and observe a certain level of determinism in our macro scale world. For e.g. A topic relevant to this community - Computing. For the vast vast majority of cases when thousands of people execute the same program on the same or similar hardware at different times in different regions we do expect, and observe the same deterministic result. The outliers to this are primarily due to damage to the processor/equipment, software bugs, or other known factors (including alpha particles/radiation, etc).

I have been using Pinboard for many years and switched to Raindrop ~2 years ago.
I am 90% satisfied and would definitely recommend the switch. I made my decision to leave Pinboard when it took three month for the developer to respond to a request that I submitted. It seems that they stopped taking it seriously a long time ago.

I was thinking about busy servers running mixed workloads. I would think that, with the CPU running a bunch of workloads on different cores, context switching, etc, it wouldn't be a practical attack. Maybe that's incorrect.

I'm basing that on global numbers, not national numbers. Sure, I don't doubt that in developed economies inequality is getting worse.

But in the past 4 decades, I'll remind you that around 800,000,000 Chinese (that's eight hundred million people) were lifted above the global poverty line and were able to stop subsistence farming. https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-release/2022/04/01/l...

So to say that global inequality is getting worse, when billion+ have been lifted out of abject poverty in that time, it's not correct to me. Things were worse 40 years ago when billion+ more humans were below the global poverty line, even if today billionaires are even richer than the middle class.

And this is a misguided idea to begin with. Input devices are different, interaction paradigms are different, why should UI ever be similar? IMO when designing macOS, they should simply forget that iOS exists.
A higher threshold would be sensible. The difficulty is if you keeping asking a question, 15 No’s and 1 yes means yes.
We live in the most equal time in human history. The actual standard of living of the average person in most developed countries rivals that of royal families from just a couple of centuries ago.

Don't confuse monetary inequality with wealth inequality. Measure by the standard of living, not monetary units.

What are the actual differences between the life of the average American worker and Jeff Bezos? It's not that big. Jeff Bezos has the ability to buy luxuries most of us could never dream of, sure, but what about the essentials?

Nearly everyone can get fresh, nutritious meat, as well as fruits and vegetables. High quality milk and dairy products. Frozen goods. Bacterial epidemics are unheard of. Our recent viral pandemic increased annual deaths by about 10-15% over baseline — compare this to epidemics which used to wipe out entire populations. Life expectancy for all people, regardless of class, ranges between 2-3x human life expectancy in a state of nature (roughly 30 years). You can travel hundreds of miles in a day for only a few hours of labor worth of money. You can cross continents or oceans with a few day's of labor worth of money.

Sure, Bezos can have a fancier car with someone driving or his own jet with a pilot flying, but at the end of the day, you can both take off from LAX and land at JFK 6 hours later. You're both going to eat 2,000 calories of nutritious food. You both have running water. And, you're sitting here, both able to communicate with everyone in the world instantly.

Let's not buy into the political propaganda about inequality, the reality of the situation is right in front of our eyes.

None of that negates the truth that the media that has the most minds in it's capture hides the truth more often than not. Yes, the internet is a last bastion of anarchistic freedom of thought, which is why it also is under fierce attack by the oligarchs. There are a handful of true journalists and truth tellers on the internet, and their truth no matter how powerful generally gets shutdown and prevented from reaching the minds of others. On top of that recently there have been moves to regulate speech against the principles of freedom of speech. The very purveyors of disinfo are now claiming a right to govern disinfo. Alarm bells should be going off for everyone.

Class war is at play, and the non-.001% are losing.

Some of this seems like a "grass is always greener on the other side" problem: a chat system is always going to be complicated. There's no magic framework that solves complexity, especially if you want real time chat.

There's plenty of useful and interesting rabbit holes to explore: CRDTs, tools like Y.js, web sockets, SignalR, etc.

I'd suggest taking a look at SignalR over Azure Functions as a good option, but it isn't a simplifying option. It gets it shipped faster when I write against, but that's as much because I'm familiar with it. The grass isn't always greener on the other side, you just get used to the shade of grass on your own side.

That's all unrelated to things like better responsive design for phone. That's a different section of the stack entirely. You looked at Ionic, but there's the classics like Bootstrap, and a deep rabbit hole of responsive design options. I think CSS Grid is one of the easiest tools in today's CSS toolbox for responsive design, but I also know that learning it isn't always straightforward and sometimes you have to "unlearn" habits from previous solutions such as Bootstrap's grid and CSS Flexbox to make the best use of CSS Grid. Again, all of that is various versions of "the grass isn't always greener on the other side". What do you have time to learn? What are you interested in learning? Most of those frameworks don't just "do the work for you", complicated or not, but expect you to learn their way of doing the work.

It may not even be that you are looking for "a web stack", but an "outsource solution": can you outsource chat to a vendor that does chat well? Are you trying to build a website when a sufficiently permissioned Discord or Slack group would suffice? Maybe you just need to deploy a Discord/Slack bot instead of "a website"?

Or is it that you still want a web page but you want something embeddable in it? There are much more "fully featured" web-based chat apps that speak XMPP or Matrix you can try to find and just "plug into" your website.

Go with what you know, outsource what you can, and the grass isn't always greener on the other side. You can't avoid complexity altogether, there's no magic shortcuts to most complex tasks (and chat is complex; responsive design can be complex; deployment and security will always be complex).
Terrible article as usual from this author. She has no formal training in economics and as a result gets everything wrong. Why does she keep writing articles about economics if she doesn't know anything about this subject? I don't understand.
Yes. For certain definitions of "less hard" - he probably would work the same time, but he would have less new projects, less new investments, etc. - some companies that we know now would not exist, because there would be nobody having that kind of money laying around to be spent on crazy projects. Coinbase would probably not exist, because people who were crazy enough to spend money on that kind of extremely risky investments would not have that money around. It's not that those people would be poor - no, they probably would still have nice mansions from those $100M they were allowed to keep. But they wouldn't have enough money "they don't need" to throw them around on highly risky and completely insane projects like making a platform that trades "currency" which relies on bunch of computers repeatedly running hash functions.

Debatable -- not because of the goofballs who insist on never running javascript, but because it doesn't have the necessary clock precision available.

You would think so, but a lot of companies who are/were venture backed don't think this way.

There is a tremendous pressure to use funding to accelerate growth, which can work fine in a good economy, but can be a disaster in a recession when no amount of capital can speed up growth.
There is a "widespread belief" in ADHD and that it should be medicated because there is evidence for it. The ADHD my son has and the ADHD my nephew has, among others, are not things I choose to believe in irrationally.

As for where the society is currently tilted, it's possible -- and likely -- that ADHD is being both overdiagnosed and underdiagnosed at the same time. Like I said, it was discovered recently enough that we, as a society, don't yet have a perfect solution for it and we're still learning more and more. The approach is still evolving.

And yeah, going from 5.5% in 1997 to 9.8% in 2018 is the jump everyone loves to quote and panic about, but it doesn't constitute a crisis. Especially if you frame it as "more than a tenth of children are so psychologically flawed they need mind-altering medication to address what's wrong with them". That's exactly the hyperbole I'm objecting to here.

Let's start by acknowledging that 9.8% of children diagnosed does not equate 9.8% of children medicated. Once we hopefully agree on that, I'm also hoping we can agree that ADHD is not this binary thing that manifests exactly the same and in the same degree in every patient. Just like we've discovered that autism is not a binary thing but rather a spectrum (and even more nuanced than that), ADHD can't be reduced to "either you have it and you'll forever medicate, or you don't have it".

So yes, we're still dealing with a developing situation and there's more work to be done. That's not something I dispute and I'm not trying to "silence" that opinion. As I already explained repeatedly, I am objecting to the way you presented that. Or rather, I'm objecting to the way you didn't present that at all.

You just tossed out a judgmental, dismissive comment and got upset when people pointed out that it wasn't constructive -- or even true, on its own. It didn't come across at all as what you're claiming you wanted to say, but instead of recognizing that you communicated wrongly, you're now claiming I'm trying to silence you. Given that, I'm starting to form an impression that we could go back and forth like this forever and nothing will come out of it.

> Trump’s #1 foreign policy accomplishment was pulling the USA out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, undermining US economic and social power in the region to China’s great benefit.

Yeah, I know. Again, I'm not saying he was good. Just that I didn't think there'd even be a single half-assed compliment I'd be able to muster for anything he did. He exceeded sub-zero expectations, and probably, for whatever reason (yeah, likely largely ineffective management of his administration) at least didn't do anywhere near as much harm as the the guys who ran things the prior 16 years. Not via his foreign policy actions, at least.

Sorry if any of this came off as "I like most of Trump's foreign policy". What I'm getting at is that I'm pretty harsh even on popular Democratic presidents, and not incapable of admitting "that was kinda OK" with Republicans even when they're an actual no-BS joke like Trump, but still think Biden's not screwed the pooch so far (he still might, certainly) on foreign policy. And I'm inclined to dislike him because I'm getting really sick of ancient dudes sitting in the Oval Office—could we get a youthful 60-year-old, even? Please?—and don't care for a lot of his legislative record.

Point is, if Biden's badly screwing up foreign policy, this particular devoted foreign policy cynic isn't seeing it. But, again, there's always tomorrow.

I know what you mean, but to be a bit of the devil's advocate here (only half kidding):

As a reviewer of such a pull request, I'd go over all the places in the code where this page size constant is used.

I'd also like to see a rough assessment of the impact of this change. Does it affect a lot of code? Some code? What percentage of users are to be affected by this change?

Also, who asked for it? It's ok if no user asked for it and it's your own initiative. But if users did ask for it (or rather complained something like "the app rejects our API requests" or "the app is effin slow, please fix"), then it'd be nice to connect to their tickets / mails / chat logs. This could serve as a proof to management if someone decides to question this change.

Deployment:
If this change is in an API called by many functions (so, big impact), but it can bring with it a big benefit to many users, I'd like to see a rollout plan - as simple as putting it into a beta version, or (if we have them) using feature flags to enable it, and a plan (can be an automated script) that tracks crashes during this rollout.
If the change doesn't have a big impact then that's not necessary.

Ideally I'd like to see coverage results that proves that all those functions which use this constant and all code paths leading to them have coverage.
It's perfectly ok if they don't, perfect is the enemy of the good, but at least the major ones. I would also go over carefully at least over some of the code which uses this constant directly and indirectly to ensure no funny business like too many threads allocating this bigger buffer, no funny out of bounds issues due to code assuming size is of a certain length (if it's C/C++/C#) etc.

So really, what is the user-visible impact of this change? If it has no user-visible impact, then why was it made? The ticket as it was specified here doesn't answer this question and therefore reflects a somewhat broken organization/team, where engineers are disconnected from their users and/or lack the eloquence or willingness or time to explain their changes. I bet the person who wrote this doesn't even bother writing comments about non-obvious changes (such as this one!), making their code harder to maintain.

Even if doing huge amounts of hiring during good times and quickly pivoting to doing large layoffs during bad times is ethical, it sure does seem wasteful and not indicative of great leadership. Although it does seem to be the norm now, if recent years are any indication.

That attitude is exactly it though. If you produce tools mostly used by scammers, are promoted almost exclusively by scammers, and the community's answer is washing its hands of any responsibility with 'scammers gonna scam' that's just not impressive. That's a strong case for anyone outside the community treating it as bad faith actors.
I would believe that there are some defense contracting companies hoping for a protracted war, but "The US" in terms of political leadership is absolutely not. This war is hurting the US economy in a number of ways that will not be helpful during the next election.
Every EV has instant acceleration, even Leafs, in comparison to combustion cars.

Sure, a Leaf loses power really quickly compared to a Tesla, but you can get the jump on almost any combustion car from a stop light (even if you won't win any 1/4 mile races) purely because you get 100% torque as soon as you stomp the go pedal.
