> There are a lot more women in "tech".

Women are generally raised to be better at social manipulation than men, and in those roles, that's more of an advantage. Men are generally raised to be better at shutting up and suffering. That'd be my theory anyway.
where are you in America? i never got anything like this.
Zero Trust is really just defense in depth[0]. All the things it implements are DiD solutions that have existed way before the term Zero Trust emerged.

Is VAT included in that markup or is that an additional cost? In the US, we don't have VAT, though most states do have Sales Tax which is not included in the price of the device.
That’s one of the reasons to provide heavy weapons to Ukraine: to end this war quickly.
thanks for pointing this out. I definitely agree when it comes to police unions. need to learn more about this situation though
At least in my country only ~40% of population lives in single family houses. The rest lives in apartaments with no access to the solutions you mentioned.

Also, if you have a single family house, you can just put up solar on the roof, and that will cover AC energy expenditure, all your other energy needs from spring until fall and then have some to give back to the grid.
That was such a naive move by firefox tbh
Fresh fruit is a big one for me.
No amount of competitive research substitutes living with a competitor’s product. Dogfooding is very important but so is catfooding.
tbh i dont get why people arent ok eating horse or dog. i've had both and they're fine, like why is this a problem? i will be the first to call out veganism but i also have literally been lectured by meat eaters about how me eating those 2 is wrong and then they have eaten a burger or steak in the same day.
> Her life seems intense to me, and I don’t understand how she’s here at this party looking lively. I personally can work on my research a few hours a day before I need to go nap or watch some youtube videos. Is she fundamentally different from me in some profound way? Does she just have more energy resources? Or does she (and everyone else here) habitually exaggerate their productivity?

The thing to understand about these people is that they're institutions. The people under them do the work, and they make a full-time job of making themselves look good. Which doesn't mean they don't work at it, but it's a different kind of work and it's less taxing. With deep work, you start to decline after 4-5 hours per day. Schmoozers can play their game all day; it's just not as mentally difficult.

And yes, they are very good at making themselves appear to be people whose shit doesn't stink. Spoiler alert: it actually smells like everyone else's.
100% agreed. My comment was referring to the part of OPs comment where they criticized globalization and proposed capital controls.
Yes, I am quite sure you are wrong to assume that.

I'd wager 99.99% of all .net shops in the world deploy onto a platform that can run IIS.

EDIT: as to the "why", I think it's because IIS is such an intrinsic part of the .net ecosystem that it's basically inevitable your asp.net app will become hosted by it.
Pip doesn't do dependency resolution either... I spent a day trying to pin down issues migrating a project from pipenv to poetry because poetry did not agree with pipenvs resolution.
A few people create and advance a field: Peter Kollmann and the dynamicists, John Pople and the theoreticians, Clark Still or Garland Marshall or the other modellers. A few more of us are the pairs of hands that help realize their ideas. The tools then spread into the commercial areas that make stuff, hopefully helping progress. There’s more to software than selling ads and monetizing user data.
I also get nothing but memory errors. Not enough memory and a snap.

Those are referred to as swamp coolers in the US. They depend on low humidity to function, which practically limits their use to the southwest US.

It also hasn't been that popular since the advent of AC since they don't do a very good job.
The main driver of price inflation is money printing, but you need to account for where that money goes. Stock and real estate prices did experience massive inflation. The CPI does not account for this. Print money that can only be spent on hamburgers and sure enough, hamburgers will experience price inflation as well.
"The path they chose", i.e. they deserved it? Also the Democratic Republic of the Congo (in comparison to "Republic of the Congo") was fiercely anti-communist [0] and backed by the US, so I guess that didn't help them with their prosperity either.

Thanks for the clarification; still seems odd to contrast 'underrepresented' with 'white/Asian'. Disingenuous framing and not a proper comparison.
Some call it "chicken and egg problem". Classic of two-sided marketplaces!
It's social media dude. We've not talking about access to clean water or some other basic human condition where you are trading your privacy for a basic human right.

Yes, you are damn right I'm calling out some of you as hypocrites, because as some of you around here build and scale your products and begin to build out social components of your businesses, you will absolutely walk right up to the line of regulation when it comes to your user's privacy over making your investors happy.
You don't need any real estate aside from your own roof access. That covers 40% of population in my home country (Poland).

Also, the financing is so easy that you don't need access to much capital even - if you live in a single family house and you can afford electricity then you can afford solar.
The Colosseum had until recently night tours, but I think were suspended due to the pandemic. Might want to check out what options they have now.

Also, if general admission tickets for the Colosseum are sold out check for tour tickets in specific languages. Those are almost never sold out and you don’t have to stick with the tour guide ;)

Stay away from restaurants with a “view”, they tend to be tourist traps. Google reviews are very helpful here.

And last, check the menu prices vs. the receipt charges. I was unfortunately hustled a couple times, never for more than 10 or 15 euros, but it made the experience sour a bit.
When he retired, he said it was because newspapers didn’t allow comics enough space anymore to create great art, and that the daily release schedule wreaked havoc on him.

But that was about five minutes before the web emerged and made it possible to be a cartoonist without either of those constraints. So I guess those reasons were excuses, and the true answer was just that he didn’t feel like making comics anymore. (Which is also understandable.)

A bit bummed the discussion is entirely revolving around the live action show when this is a cool article worthy of its own discussion.
If the problem was a supply side squeeze, the Fed has no mandate or tools for that. They couldn’t act. That’s on the govt and private sector to solve.

Except unions aren't for-profit, so it's unclear where those extra money is going to. Senior leadership perhaps? But unions beholden to members, which means there's no "fixed percentage", because that's decided by the members themselves. We can see a parallel in public sector compensation: democratically controlled organizations are very reluctant to spend extra money on compensating leadership (or any other high paying staff, for that matter).
Do you have stats to back up that data centers use more power than ac?

Also, have you considered all the labor saved by computing technology?
You don't understand the point. An important aspect of class is what you like to do, what you consider ok, what you appreciate or accept in others. People who would be catalogued by others as "white trash" do not consider their behavior to be "trashy" in this sense, they don't think there's anything wrong with it.

You saying "just stop being trashy" is exactly proof that you view them as lower class than yourself. It's similar to people who think saying "ain't" is somehow less correct than "isn't", or that rap music is uncultured. All class markers.
Definitely agree that compulsory union membership (or compulsory membership of any political organisation for that matter) is a terrible idea!
I mostly use Google Docs but, frankly, for my writing just about anything works. (Being able to work in shared docs is useful but not much else matters.) I'll use Scrivener to do the first pass at assembling a book but, other than that, anything that lets me put sentences down on a page and edit them is fine.

I used to use Word and I'll sometimes use it if I need to if that's what a publisher is using but I never really loved the ribbon and there's way too much clutter that I never use.
Apple computers come with macOS pre-installed, so technically you don’t have to install anything. It’s not possible, as far as I know, to purchase a Mac without macOS already installed.
I wonder if the New Yorker's writers and editors believe what they're saying, or are they just reading off the approved talking points?

> "Well, under the circumstances, if it’s really inflation, monetary policy has to come in. This is a very difficult period for all central banks, because energy prices will continue to remain high for years because we are trying to change from fossil fuels to renewables."

A central factor behind high US energy prices in the USA are the facts that crude oil exports were opened up in 2015 after being banned since 1975 or so, and there were several major oil refinery closures right after that, and on top of all that, there's a big natural gas export push.

In corporate media today there's an almost complete ban on discussing trade policy, cross-border capital flows, and the effect of exports and imports on domestic prices (vaguely referred to as supply chain problems at best). Regardless it should be blatantly obvious that if you reduce domestic supply while demand is rebounding post-Covid, there's going to be a price spike.

Fossil fuel corporations like Exxon and Chevron have seen about a 40% spike in share value since December 2021, and trying to blame it all on the war in Ukraine doesn't make a ton of sense. A quick fix would be a cap on exports, but our bought-and-paid-for politicians would never dream of upsetting their Wall Street masters by doing so.
This is really not true. Case in point, today where I am it will be overcast, 85*F, and very high humidity. We also get extreme cold in winter, so there's no getting around needing both AC and heating, but solar isn't a panacea. Unfortunately, hot cloudy days also don't tend to produce much wind either.
I mean I'm sure it's tough but it's not forever. Also co-sleeping helps. Never understood why people get up to feed babies.

Serious Adverse Events of Special Interest Following mRNA Vaccination in Trials
I think "Boundaryless Security" is decent.

The first big step that systems people are calling "Zero Trust" have in common is that they don't trust devices based on the (physical or virtual) network they're connecting from.

There are all kinds of other things that are still trusted, so "Zero" isn't terribly helpful.
It's slightly more complicated in practice. The US has this weird system where you can opt out of full union membership and become what's called an "objector". You opt out of union membership but still pay a portion of dues (those directly around contract negotiation and the like), and you're still covered by the collective bargaining agreement. The downside being that, as you're not a union member, you generally don't get voting rights.

To quote the NLRB's website directly:

> Federal law allows unions and employers to enter into "union-security" agreements which require all employees in a bargaining unit to become union members and begin paying union dues and fees within 30 days of being hired. Employees may choose not to become union members and pay dues, or opt to pay only that share of dues used directly for representation, such as collective bargaining and contract administration. Known as objectors, they are no longer union members, but are still protected by the contract. Unions are obligated to tell all covered employees about this option, which was created by a Supreme Court ruling and is known as the Beck right.

This usually works well enough, but in certain circumstances, you can have a small minority control the entire operation and the vast majority are "represented" by an institution they have no voice in. This seems to be the case in lower paid unions (e.g. grocery baggers) because the majority can't afford the extra dues.

Maybe too much of our money supply is derived from debt? If the economy needs fresh money printed, it may need to be delivered via actual printing and distribution.

Pre fiat, economies did have continuous injections of gold and silver mining to provide debt free money supply. Would it be wrong to QE via direct printing and government spending? At least then we may get roads, bridges, and other societal assets out of QE vs record prices for picasso’s.
Can you encourage price stability without a recession? Could the central bank create a recession that made peoples’ lives less miserable if they could target their economic activity destruction instead of the benchmark rate blunt hammer?

Perhaps the problem is a steady state versus growth model economic configuration, and we also need finer grained control over stimulating or discouraging very specific economic activities.

Facebook's 2021 revenues were $117 billion, virtually all advertising income.

That comes from products advertised through FB, most of which are marketed toward the roughly 1 billion wealthiest residents of the world: US, EU, Japan, and a few other rich countries.

Some complex maths suggests this works out to $117 per individual ($468 for a household of four), whether or not they use Facebook.

Facebook is not without costs, either in direct monetary support or externalised costs of the network.

Facebook tracks individuals outside of its platform, including those who do not have accounts on the platform at all.

The fact that participation has no gated cost is an intentional design of the system --- Facebooks users are the product sold to Facebook's customers, the advertisers.

People have a right to criticize and protest independent of whether they are customer, product, unwilling supporter, or collateral damage.
As the sibling said, I doubt IIS is only used for legacy systems. My client has a brand spanking new system that only runs on Windows, and the "web" parts of it (HTTP APIs, really) are running on top of IIS.

However, I'm unable to answer the "why" part of your question, though I'm very curious about it.

In their case, nothing they do couldn't be done better on Linux. Windows has actually been a complete PITA for deployment. But apparently, the provider, for some reason, has "always done it this way".
Can you explain without telling the memory? So you mean like age 1-2-3 year old memories? I’ve got a few of those that seem unrelated to family pictures or stories told on later dates. My dad had a few very early memories and one of my children has for sure. He once vividly described the car we had until he was less than 1 year old. I wouldn’t discount the pre 6 year old memory, although I’ve read and noticed that at that age a large filter follows.
It is a bad thing if we fully understand the personal and social cost of car driving.
Ruby's imports aren't magical by default. Autoloading frameworks make them so.
I don't agree. Repeatability is more important. Every developer working on a project should have the same version of each dependency. The testing server should have the same version. Every deployment should have the same version.

I don't want my tools "helpfully" upgrading me to a different version, I don't care if it's "minor". It's different and that's a potential source of heisenbugs. Any change to dependencies should be an explicit action and it should be a commit in SCM.

By all means show an ugly warning message to nag people to upgrade but computers live to serve us, not the other way around. The moment you start devolving these decisions to a computer you've lost control of your core competency, which is ultimately what code is running on the machine.
>>Professional bureaucrats.

>My mom was a negotiator for the teacher's union for about a decade. She was a para-professional, working with disabled students, for about 20 years.

Nothing you said really contradicts the parent post's claim that the people working in unions are "Professional bureaucrats". If your mom was working with disabled students for 20 years, then switched to being a bureaucrat for the next 10 years, she's still arguably a "Professional bureaucrat".

Unions are compensated proportional to N*S where N is number of workers and S is average salary. Workers care about increasing S, but unions sometimes focus on increasing N because it is easier. But then the individual worker doesn't see their life improve.

Which way did you go, (1) not use pointers from child to parent (functional programming approach), or (2) kept using such pointers but made it work? Your first paragraph sounds like (1), but the second sounds like (2).

If it was (2), it sounds like you made it work without unsafe code? Can you share some code?
AIUI, the major difference between the two is that Tauri uses the system’s WebView while Electron bundles a specific version of Chromium. That means Tauri will have a number of performance advantages at the cost of not being able to target a specific browser.

Still, the “why not use Electron?” answer is that Electron is much more hostile to the user…much larger download size, slower startup and increased memory usage. With Rust valuing zero-cost abstractions, Tauri comes a lot closer to that ethos than Electron.

* There was at least one case of "English in Japanese" ("Great-o Spirit-o" around 3:30), which always makes it hard for me to take subs seriously

Hi . Thanks for the reply!!
I’m sure you appreciate that the reality is a bit more complex than that, for lots of reasons.

For example, Facebook also abuses the privacy of people who aren’t customers (or more accurately, users). Or maybe cutting yourself off from Facebook would mean cutting yourself off from family or friends. Maybe WhatsApp is essential for your work, or for a community organisation you are part of. Or if you have a pension fund, it almost certainly invests in Meta. There are lots of conflicting priorities and issues that can come up when trying to think about the costs of being a users of a particular platform.

In reality it’s totally fine to think that a service you use is doing something wrong, to complain about them doing it, and to want them to stop. Some might choose to leave the service; others might want to spread awareness about the issue, or call for regulation. And others might shrug their shoulders and accept it anyway.

I’m not sure why you seem so convinced that the only two valid positions are “silently embrace anything they do” and “cut yourself off entirely”.
Yeah, if you buy into the socialist class conflict theory. But it's pretty obvious that police only protect themselves and the state. They don't care about the private property of rich people any more than it hurts their reputation or the rich people have political connections.
Raise prices yes, but also redistribute wealth so that poor people don't die.

Above a reasonable threshold, personal wealth is arguably theft from the commons anyway.
I've only done a handful of captures, but found this to be a reasonable guide:

I use the pix4d capture app for setting the flight path. It can be used to just do the capture part for free, where as their paid product can also do the stitching for you but seems prohibitively expensive for a non-professional who just wants to make a small number of maps.
I was an engineer at a FAANG. The effects of pre-existing, generational social class are as strong there as anywhere else.

If you grew up old money, you get tapped for the best projects and will make Staff by 25, Principal by 30. If you don't have the technical abilities, they'll make you a manager. On the other hand, if you come from the rabble, you stay in the rabble--you get assigned regular grunt work and performance reviews actually matter to your future.
I completely agree with this. I have direct experience in good will to my users on my businesses.

I completely removed advertising from one platform, and for my paying customers, I have made the conscious decision to not automatically charge and bill my customers for their subscriptions unless they explicitly opt-in for reoccurring charges. Those two "good will" components have generated enormous good will with my customer base at the expense of significant revenue.

The flip side of that is that unfortunately good will doesn't really have much business value if you are completely revenue and profit driven in a competitive marketplace. And if I'm wrong, and good will eventually does win out over something like Facebook's privacy practices, and the free markets determine the winner, then never forget that the markets can stay irrational longer then you can stay solvent.
