> the business cycle

Just an aside, that this rebranding of Marx's theory of crisis never fails to get a chuckle out of me.

In mainstream economics is presented as some magical property of the way economies work, where Marx specifically predicts cyclically economic crisis created by contradictions inherent in the structure of capitalism, the periodically build to a tipping point leading to crisis and ultimately the resolution of these contradictions.

For Marx, these crises ultimately culminate in the unavoidable collapse of capitalism. Which is where the fundamental drive to find alternatives to capitalism comes from for Marx, not because it is an ethically questionable system, but because it is one fundamentally headed towards its own destruction.

But "business cycle" sounds much better, and leaves off all that spooky "systemic problem" stuff.
The huge capital required to get a data center with those cost savings serves as a nice moat to let people price things high.

I think this is your problem right here. By nature, most higher-level abstractions will work better for mainstream/expected use-cases. If you're really pushing the envelope, I can see why an abstracted framework wouldn't work for you. For my company (which does have a straightforward CRUD app), it's worked out great.

I discovered recently that my bank (in Germany) can cancel my account without cause. My best guess is they were purging the books of Americans, they refused to tell me the reason, but my takeaway is that if this can happen in the consumer-protection nirvana that is the EU, don’t hold your breath waiting for exploitative practices to be outlawed.
> One advantage we, The Elders, have is that we know not only how things got (and get, and will get) built, but we also know how they fail... We seldom need more than five minutes to point out organizational issues that can cause a project to fail,

Yep. 59yo here. I've seen so many failed projects over the years that it's just second nature now to know early on when one is going to fail and why - both on the organizational and the technical side. The problem with all of this experience with failure, though, is that it gets harder and harder to get motivated. It's difficult to maintain a positive attitude about all of this because you know human nature and you remember that your younger self didn't exactly listen to your elders when they tried to help you avoid failure either.
I wrote for the technical writing team at MongoDB when this "security issue" made the news. The precise problem was whether authentication was turned off/on by default for the default database, I believe, during installation. Product management initially chose this configuration to make it quicker for evaluators to get something up and running as quick as possible. The assumption was that no developer would actually use that in production. Further, the documentation clearly stated that this default configuration option was not secure.

Blaming that data loss on MongoDB rather than the noob dev who deployed that evaluation configuration is as erroneous as the logic used by the noob dev. We hear it from developers all the time, so let me repeat it: User error. It's a thing.

They can require it all they want, but if the company has no presence in Poland, they cannot actually make them do so.

Which is fine with many companies.

> You may also be entitled to rights under local employment laws regardless of what it says in your contract, which could also lead to the company being fined or banned.

Sure, but entitlement under local employment law is worthless against company in a different jurisdiction.
No. We are talking about the selection or rejection of people with or without justified reasons.

Ageism refers to discrimination without a justified reason. For example, someone’s beard is grey, he is not considered, or gets negative points.

If a valid reason is provided to the person, young or old, pertaining to the performance in the job, that’s fine. The person can perhaps work on it and improve.

At the end, the person who better performs a job and delivers should get that job, irrespective of gender, age, religion, etc.

How/why do trains not already recapture the energy created from braking?
I don't think it's "gone forever" it's just gonna sleep for a while like "dumb terminals" now we have a hybrid with tons of cloud apps (and most things headed that way) and local apps and mixes of the two where it makes more sense. The same will happen with something like optane. I'm surprised they didn't push it more in "larger" embedded systems since it would have benefitted well from that NVRAM goodness, probably more so than PCs and cloud compute.
Recession refers to production, not who profits. You getting paid less doesn't make a recession, it makes a different problem.
Breaking apart a stateless microservice and then basing it around a giant single monolithic database is pretty pointless - at that stage you might as well just build a monolith and get on with it as every microservice is tightly coupled to the db.
There must be thousands of people scanning contracts and defi protocols for any updates or changes and then trying to exploit it. A single exploit is equal to 1000s of years of income even at a regular tech job. This is happening every few weeks now it seems.
The NYSE is closed between 16:00 and 9:30, plus all weekends and bank holidays. AFAICT real world information doesn't stop in the closed hours. So how is it credible that it's super valuable that trades can happen during the open hours at sub-second resolution, but we're suddenly ok at 16:00 with a 17.5 hour resolution?

> I don't think that follows from the published attack at all.

Maybe not - but from a layman perspective, the fact that a supposedly quantum-computing-proof algorithm isn't even classical-computing-proof does sound worrying.

Imagine someone said a cage is tiger-proof but then a house cat goes and destroys it in an hour :)

I guess the field will take a long time to mature, which is OK since practically useful quantum computers are probably far from being available.
I take it that "server" in this context includes the remote party in a "serverless" transfer. I mean, I take it this isn't particular to the rsync daemon.

It sounds like a very serious defect, very easy to exploit. It needed to be addressed quickly. I'm not surprised they skipped the code review.
Yale is often the only shot at a high level of success for poorer, less educated racial groups. I'm not sure you're understanding me if you believe what I'm saying is designed to support wealthy, well-connected people generally.

And there is no assumption about Asian success, there's cold, hard data about the comparative lack of discrimination in academia and in life outcomes.

But it does sound like you're laser focusing here on Asian kids, and ignoring the many white kids who are also being bumped out of these programs. Odd...

As paradoxical as it sounds, serendipity does not happen on its own. You have to foster an environment to let it bloom. Exactly what you did here.
You just bypass their legal department by filing a small claims case. Do it in CA, you can sue for up to 10K in damages.

A valet crashed my car, I sued for diminished value for 9999.99 dollars. Their attorney told me I would never see a penny, told me they would move for change of venue and tie me up in civil court. I went to court, won, they appealed, I won again. About 5 days later I had a check in the mail for 9999.99. I paid 100 bucks to file and serve them through the police department and had to take two days off, but I won and it was kind of easy.

They can bring an attorney to represent them, didn't seem to help them in my case with zero legal expertise.

Trains can be fairly easily electrified (via overhead rails) and hydridized with batteries. Generally they're diesel electric in the first place, so you're just switching electricity source which makes it a smooth transition.

So I feel this will lose to batteries, which can be use to brake at every motor, and so can be easily distributed along a train. (Though you don't need batteries for regen braking, you can feed the power back to the grid if you have a connection). And once you have a decent sized battery you can charge from overhead lines when available, which opens up other possibilities.

https://www.alstom.com/press-releases-news/2021/9/alstom-pre...

> The studies have revealed, for example, that a large proportion of the lines currently operated with diesel vehicles include non-electrified sections of well under 60 miles. The use of the existing catenary infrastructure allows battery-powered electric vehicles to be operated on these lines without major upgrades to the existing infrastructure. Extensive travel dynamics and energy simulations were also carried out as part of the project.

A similarly wacky concept, that I perhaps like is shipping full batteries to places where energy is expensive via train. So charge up a train battery from solar as it travels east, then feed that back to the grid as you meet a post sunset peak. Possibly wouldn't make sense if you were to do it for it's own sake, but if you already have a network of battery trains that can time their charge, you can probably save a reasonable amount of money by optimising when/where you charge based on time of use and demand response events.

Thanks for the experience report - I have Dagster and Prefect on my shortlist to evaluate next time I need to build this, and Dagster seems the most promising, so it’s good to get another datapoint.

One Q - it seems to me that another possible solve (and probably how the big guys tend to do it) is to use a dataflow engine like Spark/Flink. Did you compare a managed platform like Google Dataproc? They also have serverless if you don’t want a heavy managed cluster, which might make this approach more viable for non-huge companies that wouldn’t utilize a min-spec cluster. (When I last evaluated this they didn’t have serverless which was a dealbreaker for my small scale).
Yes, thank you. Big difference in my understanding there.
Right? What a wonderful maven trap. I love their stuff for when I face the Oracle dragon!
Did they give you your money promptly? How?
Yes, I was also referring to a scenario where you create a single-person company and have a single source of revenue from a de-facto employer.

Is it really illegal in France or do you just owe more taxes/contributions than if you had multiple clients (which would allow you to take part of the revenue as company profits, instead of having to channel it all as a salary)?

Looking at your comment [0] it sounds like it might not be illegal (provided you pay the required taxes/contributions)?

I kind of understand not wanting to be at the whims of your service provider, but Oracle is not a particularly amazing example of a typical SaaS provider in any sense of the word. Knowing the first thing about Oracle's history or how it operates should be enough for anyone to choose any other service provider. GCP's support has been fine for me, I've seen folks have acceptable experiences with AWS' support, etc., etc.; I don't really see this as a good reason to go off the grid unless that's something you're already looking to do.
Most electric trains only have a small service-and-emergency battery and don't have significant energy storage. For AC electric locomotives it's now standard to return electricity to the grid when using regenerative braking; that's harder with DC electric traction but is done in some circumstances (in others, the generated electricity is dumped into heat via a resistor bank).

The main barrier to electrification is the high upfront capital cost of the electrification works, set against the longer-term per-train return in lower fuel and locomotive/multiple unit costs. Lines which are not intensively used are difficult to justify electrifying on a financial-returns basis, and that probably includes most of the world's long-distance freight lines.

I mean it has good use cases they're not just the ones that scheme promoters want to be true. I know TFA pokes some holes in the censorship resistance attribute of bitcoin but i think everyone can agree it does provide value transfer solution that is much harder to block than Visa/Stripe/etc.

1). Silk Road or dark net markets in general. Can't be done with Visa or other existing solutions at any kind of scale

2). Funding of political dissidents. Wikileaks, canadian truckers, etc. These people got blocked by traditional payment providers but still received crypto. (there are still other obstacles for dissidents but at least this solves 1)

3). Money laundering. Find someone who sells bitcoin miners, buy them with dirty money and use them to mine bitcoin sent to fresh address not tied to your other activity.

4). Uniswap and maybe flash loans in defi seems like new things I haven't seen in tradfi or elsewhere. Maybe some cool promise here

I'm sure they're others. But I think the key common thread is that all of them require censorship resistance. If what you're doing isn't likely to be censored by authorities then you're being incredibly wasteful by using blockchain
I use iOS Reminders to do a basic version of this.

Each of the meals on the list are a top level reminder on the Shopping List. All of the ingredients for that meal are an indented sub-item to that reminder list.

Each week my wife and I plan what meals we want to eat and "unselect" them from the reminder list (you have to choose: Show Completed) and then that automatically provides the shopping list.

Before we go shopping we check what we have in the cupboards and mark those off the list - the remainder is what we need to buy.

Each of the high level recipes has meta data with the link to the recipe if it's online or the main protein so that we can try to vary things as we plan.

And it's shared between us to-boot, so whenever one of us is near a supermarket and we're wondering if anything is needed we have a sync'd up shopping list in our pocket.
I use Copy Me That (website/app), I am not sure if it has all the features you want, but I use it for storing recipes in a "no nonsense" format and can share recipes with friends/family. I get the impression if you pay you can do shopping lists etc but I haven't used that side of it to comment.
I'd say it falls under exploiting/bug bounty hunting so yeah it counts as hacking.
I feel that you're answering a bit of a straw man argument.

The topic wasn't how much of their time they spend talking about politics, it's what kind of opinions they express when they do choose to make some public statement related to politics.
