Actual insight can be tough to hear. No one wants to be told they would be doing better if they had worked their ass at some innovative company early in their career instead of taking an office job with a lower ceiling. Learning they can pull off some "life hack" to become rich will give them a much needed dopamine boost.

Just FYI you don't need a mobile phone to have a mobile number:

* Numbers are generally designated when they're created by regulatory agencies as "landline", "mobile", "VOIP", etc.

* You can provision yourself a mobile number in a provider like Twilio or a competitor if you don't like them, and it will have all the capabilities you want

* Thanks to technological advancements, you can do things like overlay mobile capabilities on non-mobile numbers, but only if you're running all of the traffic through a company that has that tech

* "VOIP" numbers are a vanishingly small corner case for these companies and are a pain in the ass to support. They are a tiny portion of the numbering space and lots of smaller Telco companies just won't complete calls or texts to/from VOIP numbers. Companies like Twilio rely on those smaller companies for last-mile completion or origination of calls.

TL;DR Provision yourself a "mobile" number using an API-enabled SaaS telco platform, which you can use exactly how you want, no actual mobile phone needed, with all the capabilities you want. The "VOIP" number will only continue to cause you more and more issues over time.

> It's easy to spend a day with a codebase (that others spent years writing) and call it "bad"

Well put! When I was younger I would call codebases bad after a couple days of working with them. Now, it takes more like a couple months to fully form my opinion, although it's less about "Is this codebase good or bad?" and more like "What refactoring opportunities do we have to make this more maintainable and which ones make sense (from a bang-for-the-buck / prioritization perspective)?"
The actual article title is "Why most economists' predictions are wrong", not "By 1995, it'll be evident that the Internet means as little as fax" as submitted.

You are providing an excellent example of the fact that in a business context, good code means “successfully meeting business objectives at acceptable cost”

But there is another context in which we might evaluate code, something like, “how far the code is from ideal, where ideal is the state the code would end up in if we could push a magic button to refactor the entire codebase, for free, to perform identical functionality and reduce both operational risk and the cost of future development”

Or, more succinctly: how clean is the codebase? Clean code has a cost, and sometimes it isn’t worth paying. That one off bash script that runs once every few months perhaps isn’t worth tidying up. I think the author is really asking about clean codebases.
That's a lot of words, but what does it mean? What does "generally happens to be data backed" means? Are you suggesting that GQL add value in the transforms that it's creating? In how is glueing together multiple types of data?

> ... a "good" code base, whatever that may mean: awesome test coverage, good documentation, solid organization, consistent styling/formatting, abundant best practices...

IMO many legacy systems were coded to "good" standard for their time. This reflected the choices of idioms, styles, and robustness criteria.

Properly maintained codebase carries those conventions forward. When it's augmented to present day expectations, it's supposed to be done in non-destructive way possibly. There could be seams but not scars all over.

In my experience, the onus is on the inheritors to try and make and effort to keep the legacy code alive yet consistent.

Alas, those assigned to maintenance are often too junior to recognize the consistency let alone care about it. Thus the codebase degrades into a patchwork of "I've been there" marks.
If you have a math degree, you already know how to learn math. That hasn't changed. You're not going to try passing tests, so you don't really need a tutor. What you might want is a counselor to guide your "reading", as is done in places like Oxford. That can be worth the $40.

All you need is updated texts, a plan of action, and maybe Wikipedia for an alternate take on sticking points. (Just using Wikipedia doesn't work well.)

You could also look at the MIT or Harvard online curricula/syllabuses to get a feel for what the current subjects and texts are. Maybe take a couple of the free courses.

Also, scan Kahn Academy first - that site is good for identifying holes in your background.

> Is it useful for rational vaccine design

Not really. Vaccines -> antibodies produced from some of the cells modeled.

This might help with adjuvants to vaccines (which are co-administered with vaccines to increase effectiveness by ramping up the immune system).

Vaccine design now is pretty "rational" (well-understood): Find an immunogenic stable and accessible epitope on the pathogen, and replicate that in the vaccine. It's the *production* of vaccines that's hard.

COVID vaccine design was tricky because the key/unique epitope is hidden by a conformational change until cell entry, but still that was basically solved in a year. The magic lies in the new mechanism for producing the immunogenic epitope: by supplying RNA templates to your own cells to produce the protein.

The hard design/modeling problem is auto-immunity, in all its forms.

Yes. I had to close my eBay account last year. They would not take my Google Fi or non-voip.ms VOIP number. Using my VOIP number also immediately got my Twitter account banned before making a single post.

It's annoying as hell because I would very much like to sell a thing or two and don't have many platform choices.

I am curious if it is because they care slightly less if it's a CA VOIP number, if it came from a decent pool of numbers, or something else. Or if they will lock you out later and force you to contact the "risk assessment" team and use this as a datapoint.

Thirteen dead journalists is inconsequential to AMLO, who uses a significant part of his daily conferences to attack, call names, and expose private data of journalists who criticize him. He has even called them "traitors to the motherland".

He's such a clown dictator wannabe. He always seeks the way to become the victim of any negative event. When the line 12 of Mexico City Metro crumbled for lack of maintenance, killing 26 people, he said people were exaggerating the event to attack him personally.

If you're curious, the one who built it was Marcelo Ebrard, current Secretary of Foreign Affairs. The one who should have done maintenance on it was Claudia Sheinbaum, actual major of Mexico City. Both are close to AMLO, none has been questioned, and he has publicly vouched for them. Thirteen dead journalists is small news.

I agreed with that...right up to Roe v Wade being overturned.

Privacy is going to become a very important issue very quickly as some states start to make laws that will be shockingly backward to most people. And those laws will be sticky and will require Amendment level changes to correct. To prevent an Amendment, even Repbulicans will introduce sweeping and broad privacy laws and will likely point to big tech companies as scapegoats to divert attention from their own generally unpopular activities (that play great to their base so they don't get primaried out).

Corporations are going to get swept up in the melee unless they begin to self-govern in a very real way very quickly to get ahead of this. Because every personal data player that does something can can be spun negatively will be dragged through the mud for political points from both sides.
Do roombas need WiFi access or do they use their own whispernet-like mobile data connection? I fear the day when appliances will connect to the internet through their own means.
The title has the wrong year. It should be 2005. The quote was: "By 2005 or so, it will become clear that the Internet's impact on the economy has been no greater than the fax machine's."
You can treat a company phone as adversarial (e.g. leaving it at home or on airplane mode) without impacting your normal life. An MDM solution can usually get real-time location information, not to mention potentially access other personal information. And your real number should not be associated with work things as a matter of course, in my opinion.

That becomes more and more true as your society approaches the state of nature that your namesake discussed, but it’s less and less true in free societies, and as a consequence, those free societies become richer societies.

Here is the only thing i have found that works:

1. Do less.

For me, this means playing fewer video games, watching less television, and going to bed earlier.

There is a ton of other knock-on stuff that I can add to this, but doing less is the first thing. If your job eats every waking moment of your time and is paying less than 200k, it is time to find a new job... or move to a new city that isn't stupidly expensive.

Other things I do:

1. Keep track of time. No goals. Only time.

2. Get up early and do it.

If the history of the AK-47 isn't your thing, check out the two-round burst mechanism of the AN-94. There is a secondary "shelf" to hold a second round in the action, and steel cables that force that round into the chamber and fire it before the recoil impulse of the first round completes.

At first, it struck me as a Rube Goldberg machine of ridiculous complexity that has no place is a firearm. After seeing one in person, though... it's genius. It's not right for every application, but as far as I know it's completely unique in the firearms world, enables a use case that no other rifle can meet, and is really an engineering marvel.
It has the additional added benefits:

- accepts that the admission team is not infallible.

- allows for the drawing pool to be more representative of some target demographic if one believes that the selection panel has inherent bias.

Yes, I was thinking that. It's paywalled for me so I couldn't check if this was based on a leak or anything. I hope this is in the opinion section, because without any sources or leaks, it's just some made up garbage.
There's a bit more to the analysis that you have to consider. Two points

1. The amount of money you can mix depends on the scale of the mixing operation
2. It's easy to build something that looks like a mixer but at some point steals the deposited money.

The feds don't have to prevent all mixers from operating. They just have to kill the biggest, most trusted players.

If TF was generic, your tool wouldn't be needed.

My experience with TF is that it is a terrible SMT because they did non-backwards-compatible upgrades to the state file... which made it impossible to redeploy and I had to not only start over with the state file but also recode a bunch of my TF code to support the underlying plugin changes.

Of course this was long ago before it was a final 1.0 version so I'm supposed to give some flex there, but it put me off badly enough that I'd never consider TF a SMT.

At the end of the day, as long as your tool is on top of TF, it will always be a function of the developer to understand all of the idiosyncrasies of not only the different cloud layers, but also the underlying tool. I think you're trying to solve a great problem, but basing it on TF doesn't help.

You asked for feedback... don't use TF.
I sympathize with what you're trying to do, but I'm not convinced by this approach. You're either fully, 100%, completely radically anti-vendor-lock-in, or you're fooling yourself.

Either you're doing stuff like:

* You're running your own databases. You use Multy to bring up raw virtual machines, you install e.g. PostgreSQL on it, and you do all the DBA work yourself.
* You're running your own DNS infrastructure within the VPC, so that you're not reliant on the VPC's provided DNS.
* You're running your own network edge. You use Multy to bring up a raw virtual machine with a public IP, you install e.g. Caddy on it, and you set up the proxy yourself.

Or you end up writing code that implicitly takes advantage of stuff like AWS RDS's IAM authentication, or DNS at 10.0.0.2 pointing to i-0123456789abcdef.us-west-2.compute.internal, or AWS Time Sync Service, or using AWS load balancers, with AWS-issued TLS certificates, etc.

The simple truth is, there isn't a startup on the planet that delivers additional value to customers by mucking around with anti-vendor-lock-in measures. Period (and if you really think you have a counter-example, I'm VERY curious to hear about it). And by the time you've grown to the size where cloud vendor lock-in matters (because of cost vs. deploying your own on-premise infrastructure), basically, it's too late, and your migration project is going to be rather expensive. And Multy doesn't help you migrate to on-premise infrastructure, because it only abstracts the various cloud providers! So you're in for a massive migration project either way.
This is only true for a very small percentage of users. Most apple users share location with family or one of many other apps that post location history to the cloud.
I think it just means preventing it from being on the wifi at all (revoking local IP address) which would definitely kill anything that requires internet access.
It's pretty clear that economists are really only good at predicting the past. Although with this particular prediction, Krugman may not have been that wrong, since the fax machine had a huge economic impact in Asia in that timeframe.

I think the difference from fax was that the machines sending electronically increased in scope and storage whereas fax didn’t advance much in the eyes of the user. No one could have predicted computers would be so small nor so light on power usage for their relative processing power. If we were still using c64’s the I could see a relative argument, but by 1998 we had vga/saga and cdroms in mainstream use

> their autopilot data suggests it's safer than human pilots on highways

Their autopilot data compared to every single type of car, with every single type of driver, only on highways.

So we're comparing every 1994 Corolla with a teenage driver to every 2021 EV with a 30 yr old driver.

The reality is AP should really be compared to modern cars which tend to come with LKAS and AEBm and stats should be adjusted to reflect the differing driver populations.

But Tesla would rather throw up comparisons that make themselves look good, but only past muster if you don't think about it too much.
> I think GitHub just have a cap of 100MB on any single individual file

There's a 100MB limit on the size of a push, which also limits the size of a any single git object (i.e. file) to 100MB too. However GitHub supports LFS for large files, and their documentation says to use LFS for files over 100MB:

https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/working-with-files/m...

> GitHub blocks pushes that exceed 100 MB.

> To track files beyond this limit, you must use Git Large File Storage (Git LFS).

https://docs.github.com/en/billing/managing-billing-for-git-...

According to my own GitHub account ( https://github.com/account/billing/data/upgrade?packs=1 ), I'm paying $37/yr for 600GB LFS storage on top of my existing GitHub Pro subscription.
I like the idea of it, but there are a hundred things that change between different versions of the same provider and resource, and lots of quirks, gotchas, limitations, footguns you don't find until you run that configuration and then try to modify it. It's hard enough making a single cloud provider work reliably.
Some time ago I even created a list of non-financial blockchain applications: https://github.com/machinomy/awesome-non-financial-blockchai...

After few years I am convinced, that anything blockchain/decentralization related must inherently have some monetary incentives flow.

I often don't know whether my potential business partner has integrity, in which case this advice wouldn't help me.

If I do know, then this advice is so obvious as to be meaningless. Unless I'm an idiot, in which case, again, this advice wouldn't help me.

There is some merit in the very inexperienced learning different ways to think about revenue. "You can choose to target one or two big contracts or many smaller contracts, and those have the same result" is useful advice, not that either one is necessarily easier than the other.

But "don't choose a business partner who's crooked" seems tautological and empty.
