It doesn't have to align with state borders, but a lack of alignment with state borders make the organizational start of a civil war complicated because it can't utilize any existing governmental structures. Thus the conflict is much less likely to be one between armies, but between vigilante terrorist groups.

We're only using CUE in a very limited fashion now, mostly went back to writing everything in Nix to keep things consistent. Learning Nix is already quite a hurdle without also forcing people to dive into CUE.
I originally introduced CUE at IOG to provide a sane alternative to HCL that doesn't involve setting up a Nix environment, but the lack of functions and ways to abstract much, abs the bed to keep our CUE schema synced with the Hashicorp code ended up curbing a lot of enthusiasm.
I'm looking forward to using Nickel for this niche in the future when it has better interop with Nix and maybe some way of handling user input.
Alaska Airlines becomes first U.S. airline to launch electronic bag tag program
Not sure it's just an annoyance at sharing the road - like you said, there are other motorists. You don't see epic forum rage-discussions about garbage trucks holding up traffic, street-sweepers, buses, parking lanes that revert at rush hour. Those get discussed, but there always seems to be a special rage reserved by some people for cyclists - the quiet, small road users. I think you could explain a lot about a large segment of people by isolating and understanding this.

If I'm held up by a cyclist, I think "Good on them, they're braver and fitter than me."
This reminds me a lot of Mark Fisher and Capitalist Realism. Obviously if the article is true then who is to say about low serotonin levels, but in any case "It goes without saying that all mental illnesses are neurologically instantiated, but this is nothing about their causation if it is true, for instance, the depression is constituted by low serotonin levels, was still needs to be explained is why particular individuals have low levels of serotonin. This requires a social and political explanation; ... This pathologization these problems - treating them as if they were caused only by chemical imbalances in the individuals neurology and/or by their family background - any question of social systemic causation is ruled out."
In essence a liberal worldview is not equipped to deal with mental illness.
Thank you for the explanation. I'm going to go back through everything I've read and see where it helps me.

However, I just want to address one thing.

> To be honest, nix is a system you have to actually use to begin to understand and synthesize. As noted, flakes make this hill less steep, but you won't really internalize the value and the system as a whole until you actually start using it some.

This is discouraging me from trying Nix for a couple of reasons.

Having read the thesis, understanding the necessity of reproducible builds and how Nix turns that up to 1100, and looking forward to being able to tell future contributors of my software to just run `nix-shell <whatever>` to set up my exact development environment, I think I understand the value of Nix pretty well. Being told that I don't understand it's value just because I don't use it feels a bit like condescension or elitism. You probably intended none of that, but that's what it felt like.

Second, flakes have not made the hill less steep for me; they've made it more steep, simply because understanding wasn't there. Some things are harder for some people than others, including things that seem like they should be easy to anybody. Math is easy for Terence Tao in a way that it's not for me. But I bet you there is something I'm a natural at that he finds hard or impossible.

Third, I agree, after all my study, that Nix is easier to understand once you use it. My trouble is that a package manager is a critical part of my system, and I don't want to run it until I do understand it. Standard package managers may be bad compared to Nix, no doubt about it, but they are understandable, which means I've been able to fix them when things go wrong. I have no such confidence that I could do that with Nix, so I haven't used it yet.

It is unfortunate, but there are a myriad of reasons why people who know about Nix, and want to use it, haven't yet used it. Sometimes, the reason isn't because they don't understand the value of it. I don't like that I am not yet confident enough to use it, but that's my situation.

Officially Deprecate Ruby Class Variables
When I was younger and crasser I noted that most large companies end up infested with tumors that exist to serve the tumor and not the company. Now that I'm older, I observe that truly large companies actually even develop an analog of the hypertumors that whales get where the tumors find it easier to steal from one another than from the rest of the company.

Actually working for large companies has left me with a very bleak outlook on human organizations.

I rode the bus every day for 10 years in SF, and I've had less than one bad experience per year. Yes, you may see a drug user on a bus (I once had someone smoke meth next to me, for the length of one stop), but assault isn't very common. Likely the most common issue is theft, when you aren't paying attention to your belongings.

The issue is very much racist/classist, because problems and complaints like this are much less common in places where everyone uses public transportation. The public transportation is better funded, more frequent, and better maintained (and cleaned). Rather than being filled with people who are forced to use public transport, it's filled with everyone, and that helps with the general culture/vibe of the transport too.

Live somewhere where public transport is the norm, rather than exception, and get back to us.
Props on getting a response from apple. I've had significantly worse fun getting their security team around that time to respond.
I'm sorry, but this is all a matter of perspective, even in the narrow perview of graphic drivers.

As a counterpoint, Intel's linux graphic drivers are the very best. That's not to say they don't have problems, they have plenty, more than I'd like by a long shot. But compared to nvidia's steaming pile of kernel panics that still thinks Wayland is a second class citizen (try scrolling a jupyter notebook in pycharm under Wayland and again X. Keep your system monitor open and watch a single CPU core get pegged as your screen updates at 5fps). And don't start me on AMD, sure its better than Nvidia for displaying stuff, but that is only one Linus middle finger less. If you "use" their rocm compute stack... Use... What a joke of constant breakage and missing support. I deal with it every day and cry.

Sorry to vent... But I have strong feelings about this. Intel can suck at times(plus, you know, they are the hardware anti-comp leaders), but windows is not the only game in town. Its worth mentioning that I'm complaining about the now, in the olden days even trying AMD or Nvidia on Linux was just asking for pain. If it wasn't for gpu compute, we'd still be in the dark(er) times.

*sigh* I think this is also unfair and presumes bad faith.

Both honest consumers and honest merchants have a lot of reasons to feel aggrieved about how chargebacks are handled... and reasons to fear it getting worse.

The worst of the dishonest of each lot have figured out how to tilt the current system to their favor, and may be quite happy with the status quo.

> How mature were those companies?

Early stage to public, all VC-backed.

> Did increases in cash flow or revenue lead to across the board raises?

That doesn't happen anywhere, unless a board member recommends it or you have a very generous CEO (like Gravity Payments). Either an employee asks for a raise, or a manager fights for one using new hires/open req salaries as negotiating leverage. Turnover is part of life, and if no one is fighting for you then you're expected to fight for yourself.

> Or did cash flow and revenue exist purely as a cap on salaries?

G&A is a huge chunk of expenses for most companies, and after a few years of operating you'll have reasonable historical data combined with future financial projections to figure out where you want that G&A % to hover around. This is what determines salary caps, as your leadership team juggles figuring out whom they need to hire to hit those projections and how much they can pay in the given market to find the talent they need/want.

For an e-comm business that might be 30-35% of total expenses. For SaaS, could be as high as 70%.

So your leadership agrees on some growth plan, and the CEO hits the button on hiring X new heads with a combined Z salary cap. What ends up happening is that you max out Z by X-N new hires, and the CEO has to decide to spend more to reach X hires or tell teams to make due with the headcount they have while reminding them to "hire faster next time".

Over a long enough period of time, the executive and finance teams will implicitly agree on some tolerance that G&A needs to stay within, and the company will be managed and decisions will be made to make sure those commitments are made. We've probably all seen this as sudden hiring freezes or lay-offs, when either current results or projections show that some target isn't going to be met but that tweaking these other numbers (headcount, payroll) the company can keep the first number (costs as % of revenues) consistent.

Over an even longer period of times, those salary bands will ossify into comp levels like "SDE 5" or some-such and this becomes the aggregate in which salary is managed.

So for a company like Google that has its finances literally down to a science, which is already operating multi-year roadmaps with high salaries baked into every assumption and model and even the stock price, would not want to rock the boat of missing those targets by tweaking something that could cause more harm than good. It's not worth it to them.

Keep in mind that Google's margin are still healthy even after salaries have skyrocketed since they were discovered colluding with other companies to artificially keep salaries low.
because if a title defender can handpick an opponent that creates glaringly atrocious incentives, the most obvious one being that they can pick whoever they think they're most likely to beat, turn down candidates they personally dislike, and so on. Basis of fair competition is that the process of selecting opponents is impartial and based on merit.

Other two claims are hard to substantiate either. Why has the tournamnet not been great at choosing opponents? They've all won fairly and they've all been among the strongest players in the world.
> There should be no such thing as a civil asset fortfeiture.

Well yes, I agree, I;m just pointing out the perverse incentive in how it is done.
There literally are “professional leetcoders”. I was one of them, and I know other friends/colleagues who were/are too.

Consider a dull boring low paying cost center job at a non-tech company that leaves you a lot of free time. You can either use that free time to go above and beyond your call of duty and chase promotions and fancy titles, albeit with trivial pay raises. Or you can practice leetcode at work to move to a better company where the work is more interesting and the pay significantly better.

Most of my colleagues who entered my previous company around the same time as me chose the first path and got one or more promotions to Vice President or Director, etc. (this is a bank). They received trivial raises.

I chose to leetcode instead, got zero promotions (though still a lot of praise at doing my job). Then I used my leetcode skills - which were completely divorced from my day to day SWE work, to jump ship and nearly quadruple my TC. FWIW, my current work is also completely divorced from leetcode. I probably make significantly more than my former department head now, as a “mere” untitled senior SWE.
I'll say this, as a YC founder, given the current situation, I've never been more excited.

I'm currently working with a Fortune 100 client in a recession-proof space. We have a team that's knocking it out of the park with them, that they simply cannot find an equivalent replacement for. We are cash-flow positive. And we have a route to securing more clients in the next year. We are delivering technology & innovation to companies that are decisively lacking in this area.

Once we prove out our MVP with future clients, I plan to raise seed funding, and remain cash flow positive. Our path to Series A will involve a lot of sales, and that's an area where VCs and the right networks can definitely help. We know we can solve the technology hurdles and build the product that our users actually want.

Raising funding might be tough given the macro situation. But I know our value, and we have plenty of time to wait out nervous investors. What's more likely is that we'll close our round without them, since we shouldn't need the money. We need the help.
I don't think people should be using chargebacks for this case. But I also think VISA is in a position to be putting some requirements on the merchants as well as the customers here - particularly if it can prevent the dispute from being filed in the first place.
This is a nice perk that could have helped Slack and Salesforce have an edge when it comes to acquiring talent in a competitive market with a shrinking pool of talent. Holiday time is generally slower anyway, I wonder the business rationale here.

But your examples of bad companies are Coinbase and Uber -- these aren't B2B companies that are caught up in some kind of ouroboros of everyone mutually basing their growth on each other's business. Both are consumer businesses.

What's the example of a company that's actually failing from this hypothesized mode of depending on other startups? I mean, better, what are five examples -- I mean, if this is a group of companies that are mutually dependent, then it can't just be one failing.

> No, because that's already subtracted out of the total property value to produce the land value.

On paper yes, but in practice there will be a de facto tax on improvement due to higher demand caused by what an physical improvement of one's own property signals.

> The exodus from city centers stems from farther-out places being cheaper - i.e. having lower land value.

Lower cost is not necessarily lower value. It's possible for areas out of the way to cost more, even if they start cheap, simply due to a short-term spurt of high demand. There are, for instance, empty parcels of land in Idaho that now go for more than whole apartment buildings in Detroit there despite the city being the automotive capital of the United States where one had historically seen the opposite trend.
Yes, derivations are the main primitive to target in an agnostic way

Main challenge is the value of the nixpkgs repo is enormous, and that looks tightly tied to Nix the language and its implicit constructs. I think instead of an FDI one would have to provide a true competitor that is more attractive on multiple dimensions like:

- reworking Nix as more a modular architecture (see Tvix: https://tvl.fyi/blog/rewriting-nix)

- Tackling a package repo and Nixos equivalent with day 1 reproducibility (not just repeatability) like https://reproducible-builds.org/

- Better UX experience on the "entrypoints" of Nix like home-manager and dev-shell flakes - I think CUE has some nicer language features for this and does not require figuring out derivation generation, just referencing the existing nixpkgs set
The name, maybe even the company "Uber" can and probably will continue; the question is if it goes through a bankruptcy/restructuring first.
