It is very odd that Adams says he is an "ultra liberal" because he believes women should have a right to choose to end a pregnancy. I have a hard time thinking of any liberal who thinks that position is "ultra liberal". It seems to be only an extremely conservative person thinks that position is ultra liberal.

Adams has often said nutty things then when there is blow-back falls back on "it was just a joke and some people have no sense of humor," then goes on to say things that indicate that he was serious about it all along. I try to avoid Adams, but the story I remember best is him claiming that he was voting for Hillary Clinton in 2016 because, "Clinton supporters have convinced me – and here I am being 100% serious – that my safety is at risk if I am seen as supportive of Trump"

He also said in 2020, "If Biden is elected, there's a good chance you will be dead within the year." That was just a standalone tweet, not the punchline of some joke. He followed it up with, "Republicans will be hunted."

Some ultra-liberal.

I think a lot of people took covid as an opportunity to retire and will not come back which is reflected by low labor participation numbers. Unemployment is basically the same as it was pre-pandemic.

We are in a strong labor market in the sense that demand continues to outstrip supply (although this is weakening for higher paid workers in the top ~10-20%) but there has been a negative shock to supply from covid.
Well he had a support discussion. When I got terminated on Tumblr, support never answered on the open case. So there's room for worse.
You are suffering from the same optimistic delusion that the Supreme Court suffered from in Grutter v. Bollinger (2003):

> In her majority opinion, O'Connor wrote that "race-conscious admissions policies must be limited in time," adding that the "Court expects that 25 years from now, the use of racial preferences will no longer be necessary to further the interest approved today."

AA will not permit anyone to escape intergenerational poverty. By the numbers, it hasn't done anything to combat it.

I despise airflow and how cemented it is as data infrastructure. It such a useful and basic concept but a nightmare to manage, and it works like junk. It's taken me 3 separate jobs over 7 years to realize that it's probably not our fault. Everyone seems to struggle with the same things: flaky scheduler that is slow to run tasks, confusing and redundant sounding settings that apply at up to three different levels (environment, job, task). It invites less experienced users to write a sea of spaghetti code in a monolithic DAGs repo. People wind up doing heavy data munging in python operators, which clobbers scalability and reliability. It also can't handle a large number of parallel tasks or frequent runs. It seems to have miserable scalability for the resources given, and bad controls for auto scaling. The UI feels dated and unintuitive. XComs seem useful to everyone but work like crap and actually an anti-pattern.

I've also tried it on Cloud Composer (google managed) and automated upgrades always trashed the cluster. It's not well designed for GKE because it writes logs to files and requires stateful sets. Testing the code is a huge burden due to the vast environment and dependencies needed to make it work locally.

I'm eager to rid my life of it and test out temporal for some of the high concurrency/frequency cases we have.
Eventually you have to stop using racism to "fix" racism.
Why not? While Asian immigrants certainly face discrimination they have also certainly experienced much less than black Americans have over the last 300 years.

when i wanted to learn Solidity, at the time, I was really into yield farming. I forked the sushiswap masterchef contract and just played around with tweaking it. you can do this for (basically) free on a chain like BSC or Arbitrum or you can play around with forking a network using Ganache or hardhat (or Foundry if you are a Rust nerd).

Crypto Zombies is a very good interactive intro to Solidity, despite being REALLY outdated at this point (last i checked it was using Sol 0.5 or 0.4).

my best advice is find some popular crypto concept you vibe with and just start messing around. Vyper is also growing in popularity so that might be worth checking out too!
At least iPhones use a randomized MAC address for WiFi to prevent tracking.
A lot of great suggestions here, but does anyone know if one learns how to order the shopping list for your supermarket?

AnyList has categories, and I think you can organize them.
IMO as a solo founder, the absolute best thing you can do is create better self-service options so you aren't even in the loop. Help docs, wizards, faqs, a forum/community where customers can help each other.

After that... hire someone to do it for you.

If those aren't options:

1. Email only support. Clear expectations on how quickly they can expect a response.

2. Nothing in realtime helps you avoid an overly defensive response and frequently the customer will figure it out on their own

3. Canned responses as much as possible

4. Link to self-service support like help docs so they don't need to reach out next time

5. keep the self-service support updated as new issues come in

6. Create boundaries and rules and stick to them. If someone isn't treating you like a person then cut them loose.

7. Always take the high road. Eventually you will get a weird satisfaction in responding overly nice to the worst of your customers.

Edit: adding 1 more

Create a support email address and direct all customers to use that. If anyone slips into your inbox you just tell them to copy support "for the fastest and best service" next time and then you forward the message to the support inbox.

Then treat that inbox as a separate task from your other duties and get to it when you feel up to it.

Also don't fall down the rabbit hole of feature requests from overly demanding folks. That will kill your business as fast as anything else.
I'm another one of those guys who literally has a gray beard. Recently spent a long time looking for a new job. When I interviewed at my current company (for about 6 weeks now) my wife went to the website, looked over the pictures of the leadership team and said, "Look! They're not all children. Maybe they'll hire you!" And so they did. Great company. Fantastic job.

I didn't used to believe in ageism. Then I got a little older. What I've found is that a lot of the problem is cultural.

The hiring managers often make pop cultural references that I don't get (and don't want to). At times, I don't think we're even talking the same language. This is much less obvious when talking to actual technical folks. We all understand the language of tech and we all get Star Wars references. It's fine.

But management sometimes seems to see me as some sort of alien species. They can't judge my technical skills and are offended that I'm not impressed by their new fad diet or corporate social media campaign. No, I'm not going to "like" your newest Tik Tok video. I would have to sign up for an account first and why would I do that?

Little things like this create friction with a lot of younger people who haven't yet figured out how little it matters. And by younger people, I also unfortunately mean some in their forties, who think youth is the future.

Anyway, that's some of what I've seen.

It's not just startups. If someone wants to and can get an offer from one of the richer big tech companies (FAANG isn't really the right acronym as Microsoft at least is also in the mix) and is just going to go with the best offer, just about no one is going to be able to compete--at least in the US. I've heard plenty of stories of companies not even trying to match offers.

The House is one of two chambers that make up Congress. The House is a representational chamber by population, whereas it's counterpart the Senate is fixed at 2 members per state.

The House is often where bills originate, and the Senate is the latter half of the process.

Perhaps I misunderstood what you were talking about above. I thought you were talking about a diagnosis for treatment purposes, if you were talking about a formal diagnosis for government assistance, that's a different conversation.

A diagnosis for treatment purposes does not entitle you to government assistance. People are only entitled to government assistance if they meet a "legal" standard about the severity of the illness.
No, it's a little like physical abusing someone for decades and then saying you need to let their kids physically abuse your kids to make it even
Because our society has also agreed that using race as the sole reason to determine an outcome is a bad idea. Hence, the civil rights act which "makes it illegal to discriminate against someone on the basis of race".

Why should we now fly in the face of that in order to advance one race at the expense of others?
But all the true fiscal conservatives have basically been kicked out of the Republican party.

Liz Cheney for speaking out against Trump. Paul Ryan for compromising too much. Jon Huntsman for having adopted Chinese kids.

I too am a fiscal conservative who largely identifies as Republican. Alas, it's very hard for me to say that today's Republicans represent me. No one actually tries to balance the budget and it's all about incredible social wars that kind of doesn't matter. (Like complaining about the number of lesbians in modern cartoons or whatever).

The fiscal conservatives that speak up fail the Republican purity test and are consistently kicked out. Literally all of them.

The few remaining fiscal conservatives have converted into cult of Trump, like Graham, to keep their voters placated.

No, you see, some races are okay to discriminate against, and others aren't. Seeing the entire world through the lens of race is morally preferable as long as it leads to the right outcome.
I think Elixir/Erlang is uniquely positioned to get more traction in the inevitable microservice/kubernetes backlash and the return to single server deploys (with a hot backup). Not only does it usually sip server resources but it also scales naturally as more cores/threads are available on a server.
Unless disabled, it'll also use extrapolated paths when a plane exits FR24's coverage area.

It's called "Estimations", and is in the Visibility tab of Settings. By default it will show up to 4 hours of estimated positions.

I can't say whether that's what was shown for this flight or not, as it won't show historical data for SPAR19.
I've spent a lot of time in Asia. For most of the continent, there's no history of anything else but poverty.
Scott Adams is a ridiculously thin skinned MAGA-type on Twitter. If you ever want to talk to him, just disagree with one of his hot takes and he almost always engages you. I eventually had to block him.
I don’t think anyone disagrees. The question is just when.
> But in the process of addressing whatever the problem at hand is cold and analytically – whether it’s writing up a report or a securing a second date – he fails to consider the human elements involved.

I definitely know people like this. They believe that the way people should work internally is according to hard, cold logic, and that any sort of deviation from logic is a problem to be addressed with them.

The problem obviously is that people don't work that way, and never will. Not even the people trying to hold others to that standard - they just take their feelings and emotional needs and rationalize them into some logical framework without recognizing that they don't originate from that framework. ...To the extent that they acknowledge these things at all! It's a profound over-investment in classical intelligence, without any investment in emotional intelligence.

> But underneath that is profound loneliness – the kind only a genius in a world full of idiots could possibly understand.

Adams is lonely not because he's a genius, but because he likely drives the people in his life away. See: Above.

I have certainly seen such brilliant and logical people struggle with this. Getting into shouting matches over why the most rational thing to do is to date them and not break up.
I think you have an interesting point.

I think to explore this further we'd need a clearer definition of "punching up".
I couldn’t. It was the first thing I hired for and the last thing I stopped when winding down a product. If you’re a solo dev, that product customers are rudely disparaging is your sweat, blood, and tears. It’s important to know what your customers run into so you should be checking the tickets, but just assign them for someone else to deal with. Your sanity is not worth having to swallow and nod politely while an angry or rude customer has their way.

> We're coming back full cycle to decentralized systems.

You say this as if it's something that's happening, but it's not. There's a few pockets of self hosted bits here and there, but that's not new. We are not coming back to decentralised systems, and we will -never- go back to that in any significant number.

Most people are not going to give up the cloud to go back to bare metal. Most people are not going to give up their zero-maintenance SaaS app to go self-host something. All of it is just too convenient, and you then also have the inertia working against you; there's a whole generation of developers now that has grown up without ever administering a server. They're not gonna give up their Lambdas and drop down to a lower level, just like I'm not gonna give up my interpreted languages and drop down to C, even though it'd perform a hell of a lot better.

I'm with you - I like self-hosting, and I run everything I can on bare metal, and I hate everything costing money every month. But there's no future in which people decide "oh I'll give up the convenience and the extra money I can make from this" and go back to the old way of doing things.
Tesla has significantly increased prices and such an increase lowers the ability of scalpers. I don’t know about Tesla’s policies on warranty transferability and I don’t know if that plays into things. Unlike other cars Tesla can remotely disable a car so maybe the secondary market for Teslas is different. I don’t know.

There are definitely scalpers for other brands. People are special ordering Mavericks from Ford and get them after 6 months or so and then reselling.

I think considering race is fine, depending on how you use that information. If you use it to make the group less diverse, that is bad. If you use it to make the group more diverse, that is good.

Does that mean that some students with higher grades/income/whatever get excluded? Yes. However grades shouldn't be the only factor in this decision. It seems that the schools are taking a holistic approach to admittance, and I support that. Granted with the Loughlin situation, school admittance practices should certainly be scrutinized. However it seems they might be on the right side at least on this one specific issue.
You and I probably agree on the principle. I just want to call attention that this sort of snipe doesn't communicate well, in my opinion. I feel like the term racism has been split between race-based bigotry (which most people argue when they say "I'm not racist!") and supporting systems which encourage systemic preferences for certain groups. As I mention in another comment, I wish I understood this topic more, because the latter definition appears to be where folks are complaining about affirmative action since the end-state metrics aren't well defined (or maybe they are, but aren't well communicated?).
> There are plenty of market theories that claim that in the long run decisions will converge towards an optimum.

Do you have an example of an economist making that argument, outside of theoretical modeling?

I don't see the tautology. One person in a leadership position may value certain things and be willing to lose money on them. The cost gives their peers and supervisors at least one reason to question that practice.
It looks great so far, thanks for building this. I think this will really streamline how my recipes are stored on my phone (iBooks PDFs, screenshots in iCloud, bookmarks, etc.). Recipe sites have really gone downhill with all the ads and life stories...I just want to cook dinner!
"Unconscious bias" is a really strange thing to call pseudoscience. What would it even mean for unconscious bias to be pseudoscience? That believing oneself to be unbiased is absolute proof of being unbiased?
Sort of depends on whether Intel catches up with TSMC or if TSMC just extends their lead over them.

It seems pretty clear that most firms will just go where the bang/buck is (especially ones like AMD and Nvidia where performance is top priority) irrespective of geopolitics. If intel can't attract the right clients then it might make their extra fab capacity in the US economically tricky to maintain.
As someone who's worked in cloud sales and no longer has any skin in the game, I've seen firsthand how cloud native architectures improve developer velocity, offer enhanced reliability and availability, and actually decrease lock-in over time.

Every customer I worked with who had one of these huge servers introduced coupling and state in some unpleasant way. They were locked in to persisted state, and couldn't scale out to handle variable load even if they wanted to. Beyond that, hardware utilization became contentious at any mid-enterprise scale. Everyone views the resource pool as theirs, and organizational initiatives often push people towards consuming the same types of resources.

When it came time to scale out or do international expansion, every single one of my customers who had adopted this strategy had assumptions baked into their access patterns that made sense given their single server. When it came time to store some part of the state in a way that made sense for geographically distributed consumers, it was months not sprints of time spent figuring out how to hammer this in to a model that's fundamentally at odds.

From a reliability and availability standpoint, I'd often see customers tell me that 'we're highly available within a single data center' or 'we're split across X data centers' without considering the shared failure modes that each of these data centers had. Would a fiber outage knock out both of your DCs? Would a natural disaster likely knock something over? How about _power grids_? People often don't realize the failure modes they've already accepted.

This is obviously not true for every workload. It's tech, there are tradeoffs you're making. But I would strongly caution any company that expects large growth against sitting on a single-server model for very long.
Dispenced.
How to use LocalStack to debug serverless functions without deploying them
If you are not maxing out or even getting above 50% utilization of 128 physical cores (256 threads), 512 GB of memory, and 50 Gbps of bandwidth for $1,318/month, I really like the approach of multiple low-end consumable computers as servers. I have been using arrays of Intel NUCs at some customer sites for years with considerable cost savings over cloud offerings. Keep an extra redundant one in the array ready to swap out a failure.

Another often overlooked option is that in several fly-over states it is quite easy and cheap to register as a public telecommunication utility. This allows you to place a powered pedestal in the public right-of-way, where you can get situated adjacent to an optical meet point and get considerable savings on installation costs of optical Internet, even from a tier 1 provider. If your server bandwidth is peak utilized during business hours and there is an apartment complex nearby you can use that utility designation and competitively provide residential Internet service to offset costs.
I tried that for my Tumblr account termination. But because Tumblr is not Google, nobody cared.
Sure, but if you consider what is causing these layoffs: anticipated weaker aggregate demand -> less demand for ads but also less demand for workers -> weakening labor market.

I mean, the Fed's goal right now is basically to slow wage growth so that average people are no longer bidding up the price of our limited supply.
You're surreal. The history of computing is mostly men. This isn't a moral judgment or denigration of women, it's history. Even today, women don't pursue tech to the extent that men do, even with aggressive efforts to curtail this. I imagine you see any discrepancy anywhere as proof of some oppresive -ism, and I imagine you want nature to conform to your Lysenkoist utopian ideals. You're a drag.
It sucks not being able to go down to a lot and pick out a new car.

> But even if they had: really, managing a cloud infrastructure via VPN is so far from shady that it's often recommended or required by many tech companies' security policies for people working from public wifi locations among other circumstances, as an added layer of protection against local eavesdropping and sometimes also for specific predictable networking routing within a cloud network perimeter.

We're talking about 2 different kind of VPN here, and you know it, please don't spread confusion on that topic. Nobody needs to connect to his own database service using some B2C service like North VPN to obfuscate where the actually queries come from.

> It would, of course, be shady if Oracle intends to deny service to people in Turkey and the VPN use is to circumvent that restriction. But I don't believe that there is such a restriction on place.

They probably don't, problem fixed. I'm not siding with Oracle, but Oracle owes absolutely nothing to a free tier user suspected of fraud.
To quote from the brief.

Unlike applicants whose identities have been affected mainly by their socioeconomic or geographic circumstances, applicants whose formative experiences relate to race or ethnicity would be denied the opportunity to convey their full, authentic selves when competing for admission to selective schools like Amici.

And so we guarantee that millions of Americans will have a formative experience that THEIR race (various Asian groups) are allowed to be discriminated against. Instead of being rewarded if they follow every rule on how to fit in and succeed.

Let's be clear. The schools are literally fighting to let them continue excluding the grandchildren of people who were put in a camp for being the wrong race (Japanese in WW 2). Separately those same teenagers have to deal with a world where hate crimes against Asians just jumped. Locally in Orange county it is up over 100%.

This is just wrong. And that people who support the policy claim to be for "tolerance" is just hypocrisy.
