Looks very slick. I'm not sure I understand why I'd want stock prices and social feeds on my desk though, but I guess that's configurable. I imagine this is a personal preference thing, but I've never really understood the appeal of having task lists and such in my face all the time, whether it be on a watch or a widget on my phone home screen or wherever. If I'm managing tasks, I'll open up my task list and then shove it out of my way. If there's something timely, I'll get a notification, etc. The idea of an always-on or even available-at-a-glance task list or any similar information source just doesn't make much sense to me. Even looking at my wrist while I'm at my desk arguably takes longer than cmd + tab to whichever app on my desktop contains my tasks.

I really do hate to seem so negative about something that does seem quite cool, but I feel that in general, there's a kind of addictive, porny aspect to productivity and workspace hacking type stuff, whereby people spend an inordinate amount of time and energy trying to optimize things that really are the least in need of optimization. Weather? Available at a glance on all my devices which I'm always near. Stocks? Don't wanna see 'em, but if I did, also available at a glance. Ditto for tasks as I mentioned above.

In fact, it seems to me that my desk is one of the few, physical, tactile pieces of "equipment" in my workspace that is free from any digital interference and I'd much prefer to keep it that way.

It's just very hard for me to imagine how I don't _lose_ rather than gain focus or productivity by sticking more information in my face while I'm working.

Am I missing something?

Still, congrats on a very sharp looking product launch (is it launched?)!
The two dewalt impact drills which have had their chuck become detached from the motor under light work loads and the half dozen Porter Cable tools which I've used reliably on almost every DIY project for the last 10 years, all of which are sitting in my garage, suggest otherwise.

DeWalt has great ergonomics though.

Everyone claims they hire the best. For a long time Google and others had atypical hiring practices which they have since abandoned. I suspect this is because they discovered the techniques were less effective than originally thought. So 'best' by what measure?
I have a similar project and now have to split up the single application to actually get the muli core processing I demand. I regret not using Rust/Go... or even just .NET.
> If you have crappy legal representation then sure

Yes. That describes most people.
Well, there _is_ E2EE in messenger, it is just off by default. I am not sure how they manage key sharing, but likely in some way that would allow them to add another device to your session relatively transparently, which means that they could always bypass it in that way. Of course, they could also bypass it by shipping a targeted software update to force your app to resubmit all the messages unencrypted.
I am not sure accepting crypto is a good idea in my case, since my customers are low tech. They dont know much about these things.

Last time, when I made a transaction on ETH, it took me 10 mins for wait nodes to confirm and costed me about 20$ of transaction fee.

How about the speed of Bitcoin network now? Just curious.

The second option wouldn't really have helped here because abortion law in Nebraska is almost as permissive as in California.
Actually Europe has been printing a lot of money by having less than 0% interest rate for loan.
Current inflation is due to many factor, some estimate it has been slowly growing since 2008, plus covid where we printed money to just to keep business alive, plus negative interest rate that allowed countries to loan too much, etc...

But I suspect that subsidies for infrastructure is one of the least impactful factor for inflation.
> we were able to thwart the attack through [...] physical security keys issued to every employee that are required to access all our applications

I hope you are paying attention, Twilio. WebAuthN tokens are an effective phishing mitigation, unlike security/phishing training for employees.
The people expressing this thought clearly have spent very little time in other countries to appreciate what y'all have.
The middle is trusted for the identity exchange and not afterwards. This is fundamental and has nothing to do with what protocol is used. If you explain to me an e2ee messaging protocol with a centralized server that you think is trustless, I can always show you a leap of faith in there.

The first time your client messages another on WhatsApp, it knows nothing other than the phone number and has to somehow go through WhatsApp to exchange keys with the other client. WhatsApp can simply fake that entire exchange. Now, WhatsApp also lets you physically visit another user and scan a QR code to verify the identity out-of-band, which escapes that "centralized server" limitation I mentioned, but few use that feature. Compare this to how HTTPS works; you trust the certificate authority unless you gather the certs yourself.

I doubt the clients are backdoored to defeat the encryption, but idk what advertising metrics they're sending or what might change in the future.

When Alabama gets the bomb.

~ Tom Lehrer, "Who's next"

Well, the USSR broke up without too much fuss about who got the bombs; as far as I can see, only Russia was interested. But I can imagine a Divided States of America in which both successor states have nukes. I suspect they'd be reluctant to attack one-another. They might even both choose to disarm, depending on the nature of the break-up.

I would argue that most of the complexity in low-level languages comes from herding references to memory locations (pointers and whatnot).

There’s no reason TypeScript couldn’t be built on top of manual memory management and the concept of raw access to memory locations but I suspect it would start looking a lot like C with just a different syntax for type declarations.

When I was in middle-high school, "private messages" got shared all the time. The first time it happens to someone, myself included, it's a bit of a ride awakening.

But once it happens, you learn that what you say online is a persistent written record which outsiders will occasionally access. I don't think that people can credibly claim to be unaware that all of their social media activity exists in a grey area between "public" and "private".

Is it possible that most people just don't care? It seems like the "I'm not doing anything wrong, so I don't care" impulse is very beguiling. Maybe events like this will be enough to snap people out of it, but I wouldn't bet on it.
nope, not really, most use it only as a marketing tool, trying to force feed their garbage down our throats, rather than engaging with us as humans, in a conversation.

as another poster already pointed out, most brands are certified by the UIAA

the stuff to look for: ropes (EN 892:+A1:2016) in Europe
carabiners/express sets: EN 12275: 2013, UIAA 121: 2018
"schlingen" (don't know the english word) for express sets: EN 566: 2017
belay devices: DIN EN 15151-1 , DIN EN 15151-2 (UIAA standard)

if you're in europe and want to buy a bit cheaper try decathlon, they have decent stuff from their inhouse brand "simond" and everything is certified and safe.

Otherwise.. just by from a decent brand, the stuff is safety critical.. so I personally would not cut cost with the gear :)
Sure, but even something like `int main() {}` relies on an operating system, the C runtime, a standard library, and hardware to boot. Best build the universe to make an apple pie

That seems a good thing, as it will tarnish Facebook both with beeing bad and with being involved in the abortion issue, which is super division no matter what.

You definitely can (and should) peer as a small ISP, even if you are buying transit from other providers. This is especially true if you're running an MPLS headend as you'll still have choke points at L2 circuits in your own network. Owning your own peering can be a great way to offload traffic to other circuits that share destinations, most commonly traffic destined for VOD/streaming CDNs.

(N.B. — This is what has worked well for the WISP I cofounded, but YMMV depending on headend infra).
Yeah, the only thing human-centric about metric is using the same base as the number of fingers most people have.
Potentially controversial take: Unhappiness and intelligence are both correlated with deep rumination.

Deep rumination over negative things is a hallmark of depression, and deep rumination over a hard problem is a hallmark of intelligence. I suspect the "deep rumination" instinct can go astray, causing deep-set unhappiness.
Seems a big egotistical to me

I used to have this worldview then I realized “smarter” people self select lives that tend to be more neurotic and tend to overthink things to the point of anxiety

Do you really need to worry over all the things you do? Or have all the years of being schooled and trained and under pressure to constantly juggle multiple things made your brain’s default state anxiety?
> a massive amount of emissions during its production

It's massive today. Why do you predict it will remain massive? It's not like producing EV physically requires pumping CO2 into the atmosphere, like when using combustion engines.
I think you more or less just buy connections from bigger ISPs, so for example you get a 100 Gbps connection to one location and distribute it to your end users from there.

Most of the equipment you can buy, you can even get a lot of the needed things as a service. You just need to organize all those hardware and software things, and get the economic and legal part right too. And in the end it needs to tie together in a way, that your earnings are bigger then your expenses.

I think it’s not so different to opening a car repair shop for example. Just more nerdy.
Very cool topic... and not the article I was expecting!

I actively work with teams making sense of their massive global supply chains, manufacturing process, sprawling IT/IOT infra behavior, etc., and I personally bailed from RDF to bayesian models ~15 years ago... so I'm coming from a pretty different perspective:

* The historical killer apps for semantic web were historically paired with painfully manual taxonomization efforts. In industry, that's made RDF and friends useful... but mostly in specific niches like the above, and coming alongside pricey ontology experts. That's why I initially bailed years ago: outside of these important but niche domains, google search is way more automatic, general, and easy to use!

* Except now the tables have turned: Knowledge graphs for grounding AI. We're seeing a lot of projects where the idea is transformer/gnn/... <> knowledge graph. The publicly visible camp is folks sitting on curated systems like wikidata and osm, which have a nice back-and-forth. IMO the bigger iceberg is from AI tools getting easier colliding with companies having massive internal curated knowledge bases. I've been seeing them go the knowledge graph <> AI for areas like chemicals, people/companies/locations, equipment, ... . It's not easy to get teams to talk about it, but this stuff is going on all the way from big tech co's (Google, Uber, ...) to otherwise stodgy megacorps (chemicals, manufacturing, ..).

We're more on the viz (JS, GPU) + ai (GNN) side of these projects, and for use cases like the above + cyber/fraud/misinfo. If into it, definitely hiring, it's an important time for these problems.
That chart is an incredible eye-opener.
The author says:

> So smarter people are happier, right? Well, this meta-analysis says no.

The linked meta analysis says:

> At the macro-level, we assessed the correlation between average IQ and average happiness in 143 nations and found a strong positive relationship.

...

As for the 'IQ poorly measures solving ineffable, poorly defined problems' - sure. IQ is however strongly correlated with how much money people make. If making a living over decades in a fast changing world isn't a poorly defined problem, I don't know what is.
The thing is, the government already has enough income to do all that if they stop doing stupid shit like wasting the GDP equivalent of Mexico on invading desert shitholes or mass producing super-advanced fighter jets when our next closest peer can still be fought off with our cold war surplus

But please, tell me more how giving my money to an entity who routinely invests money in "local" corporations only for them to immediately do buybacks and disappear the money into the haze of wall street economics improves my quality of life
Whether you like my definition or not, I would argue that you are describing the difference between poverty and sufficiency. This is not wealth or achievement, but our system makes it easy to assume that.

The churn at the bottom is intended to motivate your continued activity and striving.

You are perhaps still too close to the stress of poverty to see that what you are describing is not happiness either, but something more like the removal of capitalism’s sharp rocks from your shoes.
If "the world" is news/culture/controversy, and "keeping up" is standing in the hurricane of ad supported hot takes. Then I completely agree.

One day I decided that being ignorant of what is happening on Twitter is actually good. I felt bad when someone says, "did you hear about X" and I didn't. But X always changes and nothing builds on anything else. The purpose is just a feeling that something is changing and you need to know. Dopamine.

I simply ignore what other people are addicted to. Because they lie about their addiction and call it information.

It depends on what you think the word recession conveys.

If you think it is a decrease in the real gross domestic production and purchasing power of Americans, we are clearly already there.

If you think it is the slope employment for some reason, then no.
That does not make sense.

On the other hand, if no-one stops it, there are always incentives to grow your team as much as possible.

As leader this increases your status both in absolute terms (100 vs 10 people under you makes a difference on your CV and on the title you can claim) and in relative terms (your team is larger than the teams of your peers and you can get ahead that way).

And so every leader at every level tries to expand their team.
I went to the British Museum when I was in my twenties and it was not an experience I will repeat. That is not a place of honor, and even in a time before I became more aware of the concerns and troubles of indigenous peoples I felt uncomfortable the entire time I was in there.

It wasn’t a celebration of history. It was a dragon’s hoard.
What happened was that everywhere Google Fiber went, the big ISPs would suddenly offer competitive pricing and service (which of course they could have done all along), which meant it was hard to get customers.

Also, they would fight tooth and nail to prevent Google from being able to actually build the infrastructure. One way was to make it needlessly onerous, slow, and expensive to access utility poles.

This is all straight from the Standard Oil playbook.
I've considered it, but I suspect it might end up like bombcar's experience with cutting buried lines. I'm not much of a digger for the manual work either. And there's a seasonal creek to cross which seems like a lot of fun.

I'm not too worried about the overhead portion; in theory, I could group with neighbors and we all pay a share, or I could pay it and consider it a goodwill gesture to my neighbors; they wouldn't need to pay that portion if they wanted to get online (and some of them have overhead drops for electric and what not, so they'd be able to get a cheap drop for fiber, too)
My interpretation is that he phrased it like that because he sees Ukraine surrendering as the most likely scenario. Not to put blame or responsibility on Ukraine.

Ukraine can't win in the sense of achieving an outright battlefield victory and ejecting the Russian invaders. But NATO and the EU can keep Ukraine from losing by continuing to support them, and maintaining sanctions on Russia. This will bog down the bulk of Russia's expeditionary military capacity in a quagmire, just like with Afghanistan in the 1980's.

Unfortunately this will have some bad effects for the rest of the world in terms of food supplies, but it's a price worth paying to eliminate Russia as an effective geopolitical player for years to come. Remember that it's not just about Ukraine. If the rest of the civilized world pressures Ukraine into ceding territory to Russia as part of a peace settlement then next year Russia will try to take a little slice of Poland, a little slice of Estonia, etc.
Rural sprawl significantly increases overall infrastructure costs. Their taxes are already being subsidized by more urban tax payers. Those rural areas can't afford to maintain what they have.
I live in one of those rural homes. We only get electricity (and natural gas too, but that's unusual around here) brought in. Water and sewer are on-site. Phone is VoIP. Internet is wireless (via an ISP I built). Rural piped water is very rare here.
