That's not entirely true; criminality was very high in USSR as well, even though it was swept under the rug, and USSR as a country was built in large part by criminal syndicates and structures that were victorious in crime wars of chaotic 1920s. Most of 1930s NKVD came directly, or were coordinated by, former gangsters, starting with Stalin himself.

> The cost of everything keeps increasing and honestly, depending on where you live even at 20 dollars an hour it will be hard to make ends meet.

Except you're producing nothing of value to humanity. 400k a year to waste your life enabling the vampires to keep playing zero-sum games. Not a good bargain.

I've worked in fintech for a few years and I consider it one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made.
Your two sentences in this thread is hardly debunking anything. What is Amazon maximizing if not profit? It certainly is not employee share of revenue or employee well being.

C) is only a clear indication under a too-short idea of what "short-term" means for a company like Google.

For large corporations 9-12 months is short term, and 1-2 years not too long to fall into that category either.

Critical points in Stadia's success are coming up in next few months. Pre orders for one of the most popular sports games in the world, releasing 100 games by the end of the year-- a benchmark they're behind on-- and a precarious expansion into Mexico.

These should show results before the end of the year, 5 months from now. If they underperform then I think it's extremely possible that a service cancellation would be announced within 9-12 months.

In the other hand they had no option except C, not really. Anything else would have as good as killed the service anyway. A) or B) would mean updated articles and new headlines would read "Google Won't Deny Rumours of Stadia's Death". B) would be the worst: "Google won't commit to further Stadia Support".

If they might kill it sometimes in the short term of 9-12 months but haven't made a final decision yet then C) was their only option regardless of the truth of any of those. C) conveys the least information (I'd say none) of those options because it does not provide any way to evaluate the truth of the statement unless you take Google at it's word. And yet whether or not we can take them at their word is exactly the thing in question.

Possibly. But users aren’t likely to switch unless the content creators leave, and the content creators will stay if they have more views there than on Instagram / YouTube / etc. (actually, they probably just post the same videos to all the platforms, to maximize exposure at almost no cost).

People always say X network is going to go the way of MySpace, but when’s the last time that happened? I wouldn’t say any of FB, Twitter, Snap, Instagram have died off the way MySpace did. Certain age groups may have migrated to other platforms, but these networks are so ingrained and established that millions of people can leave and it doesn’t matter.

There’s still a huge population using all of the networks and unless a new app provides some new unique feature like Snapchat and TikTok did when people first started using them, I don’t see anything popping up to replace them.

This is definitely true, but then I also see more experienced developers and researchers tweeting about these people making fun of them and calling them on their bullshit.

That's part of the whole thing, that when you do something you love or which at least you're greatly interested in you don't necessarily do it for money, I'd say that in most cases you don't do it for money. That's what jobs are for (money, that is).

The question is, how disadvantaged are public transit projects given the barriers imposed by the existing choices that have been made, and the marginal cost and benefit of that project compared to existing choices?

Sprawl is difficult to cover with public transit, so you end up with a system that costs 2x as much, covers 1/2 as much area, and takes 2x as long to go anywhere. The most successful public transit systems in the world area all places where driving is car is not a viable alternative for many. In a world of 10 lane highways and free parking in a sea of strip malls, it's going to be hard to convince people to stand at a transit stop.
MCU's are basically locked to a vendor currently. You choose a chip, make your design around it, and hope there won't be a shortage from that vendor, and it's high enough on the vendor's priority list to not hurt your product.

If there was a RiscV chip that met a particular standard (x voltage range, y clock speed, same supporting circuitry and software), then we'd have multiple chip vendors creating the same part, and hopefully it would turn into a jelly bean chip.
Take a car to the airport. Take a subway to work.

That might as well be the case, but Wirth did Pascal eight years before Modula-2, yet the former feels way more modern.
Uppercase for keywords was a fairly common style at the time even in languages where they were case-insensitive (e.g. Pascal, BASIC, dBase). Which makes sense when you consider that syntax highlighting was still several years away, and it would take even longer for it to become widespread. Turbo Pascal wouldn't get syntax highlighting until version 7.0 - that's 1992!

I’m a huge supporters of unions, but Amazon has been very open about their opposition to unions. The fundamental argument for unions is that companies serve shareholders at the expense of workers. Opposing unions is some kind of shocking corporate malfeasance, it’s just the nature of capitalism.
Probably, but there were many other language differences in Modula-2 that made it a better language. I suspect the real reason was the usual one: inertia. A lot more people knew Pascal and thus more bought TP than TM2. <something something about technical merit and popularity contests>
FWIW I agree with you, but many people still employ it and tell others it works despite the academic and professional evidence to the contrary. I probably should have phrased it a little better to make that clear.
This guy will now try to squeeze every possible buck out of his delusional fame.

Purposefully manipulative headlines like this are why I don't trust most articles from sources like vox.

The headline is used in a way to make it seem like Amazon is targeting students that are vulnerable to them, meanwhile Amazon is targeting those that would benefit the most in society, because they are most vulnerable to economic issues, like ex-inmates and students. Vox is doing its best to manipulate their words to make things look as bad as possible.

I wish there were a feature where I could automatically not see articles from certain content providers because they are so skewed and biased.

This is ambitious to say the least. I'm actually intrigued. The scenes from inside could be from a sci-fi movie with utopian very-dense-and-3d city design, one of those where mankind moved into enclosed spaces to find comfortable shelter from an outside world that has become unlivable (or almost so).

It will (have to) be as controlled and dystopian as in the movies too, with so many people living in a highly artificial environment.

> Why does Ukraine have to abide by the Minks agreement but Russia is free to wilfully for years violate the Budapest agreement where Russia promised to not invade Ukraine of threaten its territorial borders in exchange for Ukraine giving up its nukes?

Maybe because giving up the nukes wasn't the only condition for the sovereignty of the state that USSR (and Russia as a successor) granted to your leaders on peaceful terms in 1991? Remember, your country didn't have to fight a war for its sovereignty, the peaceful transition of a regional power was one of the greatest achievements of that generation.

Maybe the modern Ukrainian elites and the current president shouldn't have been frivolously contemplating the idea of joining a military bloc [1]. Maybe they shouldn't have been frivolously contemplating the idea of obtaining nukes either [2], maybe they shouldn't have been saying that "The agreement is not an official treaty. It is neither legally binding nor does it carry an enforcement mechanism".

Your leaders should have known that your foundational documents predate the Budapest Memorandum, and they outline all conditions under which your sovereignty was guaranted [3]: "The Ukrainian SSR solemnly declares its intention to become a permanently neutral state in the future, which does not participate in military blocs and adheres to three non-nuclear principles: not to accept, not to produce, and not to acquire nuclear weapons."

It seems rather that you don't know what kubernetes is. His comment is justified. You can put your pitchfork back.

It seems that you don't understand ehat he's trying to say.
The major difference with projen is that configurations are not set and forget. They can be updated by a normal dependency update. So as tools evolve and APIs get deprecated, the projen component maintainer can adjust the output of the config, which updates your project config with one command. And as community we can all pitch in at keeping these components up to date. Rather than every individual trying to figure out for themselves what is the right combo of options to make something work.
Most people that work for Amazon in the warehouse like working there. All you're hearing are from the union plants that are coordinating with media that both want to see Amazon fail. Meanwhile the fact that unions are having such a hard time gaining traction show that most of the members feel like they don't need it. The idea that you can intimidate hundreds of thousands of workers across the US is ludicrous.

I wonder how the app determines what users should see a video.

If someone post a clip playing guitar and singing for example, would it determine this is a performance, and it should show it to cohorts who have liked viewing performances in the past?

Or would the AI model work more like… show (unknown type) clip to random people, identify similarities in the people who like or dislike the video based on those user’s viewing habits and then try to identify the video type based on that knowledge? I guess the second method would be very inefficient unless combined with some feature extraction and metadata / tagging from the source.

Not an ML person, just a curious dev.

It's not just land. Walking paths cost far less than and require less maintenance and drainage than smooth impermeable asphalt roads with curbs. "Intersections" for pedestrians are simply paths, with no signage or expensive signals required.

Sometimes I wonder if our preoccupation with information consumption is a catalyst for our inability to have epiphanic thought.

We’d probably have more Einstein-like breakthroughs in science if we weren’t constantly reading to find the answer and instead let our minds connect into the collective consciousness that already knows all.
A little bit over 6% of the US's population lives in the NY metro area alone, so it's significantly more than that.

I did so as well. She was such a role model for black women that MLK himself had to convince her not to leave the show after her first year. And then there's this [0]:

> I met Whoopi Goldberg when Gene was doing The Next Generation and she had told me when Star Trek came on she was nine years old and she said she turned the TV on and saw me and ran through the house screaming: Come quick, come quick. Theres a black lady on TV and she ain't no maid.

On top of that, while on Star Trek, she was one half of the first and second interracial kisses involving a black person on US television, which was a big deal at the time [1].

She played a black person in an important leadership role on a very popular series. As MLK said to her: "We don't need you on the - to march. You are marching. You are reflecting what we are fighting for." [0] She'll be missed.

This is definitely a study and science. It's actually a rather high quality experiment too, I was in awe of the way they carefully constructed the pairs of decisions to make them as identical as possible, and then got the same law student to write an article for each member of a pair before randomizing to ensure they were written as similarly as possible. Everyone knows that you should be blocking to maximize statistical power, but very few people ever go that far. (And that's probably a good part of why despite the relatively small _n_, they still get very clear causal effects.)
Amazon is far from the first company bumping to 15$/hour. Even when they finally joined the 15$ club they where still underpaying people at the time as shown by their retention statistics.

That’s the thing about free markets, workers get to say no. They can trade lower pay for a vastly less crappy job, or get better treatment for similar pay elsewhere etc.

What’s less obvious is Amazon benefited from building out their infrastructure more recently than other companies which let them target sweet spots with large untrained workforces which made their jobs more appealing locally. But eventually they needed to pay market rates.
I am currently overengineering my previous work to run it inside kubernetes. It isn't my decision, i just asked for a VM and the access to ansible, but the chiefs wanted to use kubernetes for everything.

I don't think this is that bad tbh. I runs my unit tests on container construction and while it was tedious to develop, mostly because i cannot run docker on my work PC, i understand that it makes it easier to inventory and check the advancement. The management will always love it, so i think kubernetes is here to stay. Not because it solve a lot of engineering issues (not for me anyway, i'd rather run a cron in my VM than declare a kube cronJob), but because it solve a lot of other fondamental issues for the management (inventory, visibility on existing/running projects. And everybody use the same system without using the _same_ system.)
Except that's not at all true. Historic raises in the minimum wage did not cause an inflationary response in goods nor currency.
To what extent do we need computers? They feel indispensable but we could go back to more labor intensive information systems. And that wouldnt be all bad.

Many warehouses pay well over 20$/hour and others significantly less. What’s rarely mentioned is while Amazon’s compensation is roughly in line with industry norms, the workload is however much worse.
"labor" as a noun is a synonym for union
Depends on the country. In the UK, the Amstrad 8256 and 8512 were very popular, and they were only launched in 1985. They were much cheaper than PCs of the time, and came with wordprocessor package and CP/M 3.0. We had about 25 of them in our lab, including one floating at 4000V in a perspex cage, used to control a C14 accelerator.

From memory, I used TP and them TM2 on CP/M to run an automated thermoluminescence rig, then FTL Modula 2. I wasn't very professional at the time, but then no-one was - most of us were working in isolation. Speaking from that perspective, I was not very impressed with Modula 2. The issue was not with the fundamentals, but the way that it was case sensitive and forced you to use caps for all the keywords, so that it was really annoying to type. As a lesser issue, the names used for type conversions between numeric types seemed to have no rationale, so they were easy to forget. I don't remember exceptions in TM2, and they would not have been part of the standard language. They appear to have come in with Modula-2+.
One rule for them, another for us. Same old, same old.
I much liked https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/kubernetes-comic/. It does a pretty decent job of using the comic medium by packing in tons of visual metaphors for each concept, having actual characters with defined motivations, being funny... and I won't spoil the ending, but that's done well too.

The point is that there’s no law that says companies must maximize profit at the expense of everything else. The fiduciary duty is to be responsible with shareholder’s money, not to maximize return on investment.
