Could it be that meetings can often happen in email, and if the meeting is important use Skype or another in office messenger app so that employees don't need to leave their desks?
Apple (like Google) gets to decide what the pain points are in their ecosystem, so likewise they also get to peddle the solution.

"Want to sideload apps? No problem, just pay us $99/year for temporary installation privileges!"

"Want to sell your app? Here, just give us 30% of your proceeds."

"Running out of storage? Here's a red-dot notification in your Settings app begging you to pay for iCloud."

I don't think any of these companies will (or should) get out of this antitrust litigation unscathed. The amount of control all of these platform-holders exert is unreasonable, and unless the government steps in we're helpless to stop it.

“Realistically, there are probably a bunch of people at the company who shouldn’t be here,” Zuckerberg said on the call, according to a Reuters report. “And part of my hope by raising expectations and having more aggressive goals, and just kind of turning up the heat a little bit, is that I think some of you might just say that this place isn’t for you. And that self-selection is okay with me.”
Yes, I've had items sold by Amazon, ship from their own facility, after waiting 4 days to ship even though it was in stock, only to have it relabeled and delivered late by UPS. Ive had items that said next day turn into weeks just after I purchase. Atleast sometimes you can cancel and rebuy for a better delivery date.

Ive gotten the feeling that Amazon doesnt actually know how to do final mile delivery properly, especially considering how much money they waste by sending 4 different vans to my house within a single day
If there was slacking, who’d write all those chat apps?
Yup, is about learning to say "no".
I would never trust my safety to a bowline. It comes loose with a minimum of working. Only under constant load would I use it, and only then when double hitched, and probably with a finisher clove hitch.

Even my dog gets away from a bowline with a minimum of moving around the front yard.
Everyone that recently bought houses made out like bandits- two consecutive years of 20% appreciation AND historically low interest rates. And as a bonus, owning a house is a great hedge against inflation!
Maybe it’s capitalism. The constant struggle to pay for basic needs distracts us from truly being happy.

Also our ability to locate and live among the people with which we’d be most successful and happy.
Especially when the Nuremberg trials executed people for following orders. In the case of "crimes against humanity" the defense of "following orders" has been discredited. You would think citizens of the countries running the Nuremberg trials would understand this concept. Apparently not.
There are differences though. Anyone can take the Chromium web engine and build their own browser on top, with tremendous amounts of control. Heck, this is such an attractive proposition that even Microsoft has done this.

While the mono culture of a Chromium driven web is a huge problem, it's not the same as the IE problem.

The biggest mistake IMO was the Firefox open source project focusing on building a browser as opposed to a web engine.

Even nodejs was created on Chromium (and the difficulty of building node on Gecko was the primary reason why MS chose Chromium over Gecko).

I suspect if we want to avoid a Chromium monoculture, we will need a similar split like the Netscape > Firefox one, where someone pulls out the Gecko rendering engine and builds an open source product/business on top of it.
Saying Kansas having proportional power is “no power” is highly disingenuous. When you rephrase your question to something that isn’t clearly loaded with bias:

How would it be fair for Kansas to have power proportional to its population federally?

Well. That sounds like a very silly question, doesn’t it?
Can you point at specific goods? I can't think of a single thing that I buy on a regular basis that is twice as expensive as it was a few years ago.

Right now we have a tyranny of the right that gets to have so much control because of the current set up. You’re suggesting that is fine.

Why would a different senate set up equal zero effective representation for those farmers? I didn’t even say what my alternative would be.

How come we only care about farmers in Kansas anyway? How come we don’t care about the many other minorities less represented? I’m American, but I’m brown. Why don’t brown minorities like me get our own better representation? Same with lgbtq, and so many more. It’s always only about giving rural conservatives an absurd amount of power.
If inflation hadn't been incredibly low for 20 years we'd probably be facing similar prices today without all the fanfare and complaining that comes with a sudden correction.
What if what you just said about violence causes a physical reaction in someone? Should we cancel you for it?
I've been using and recommending k9s to everyone and it just works. I love it and use it enough that I'm a sponsor.

It's an amazing project by a solo dev, please consider sponsoring. My guess is anyone using kubernetes can afford to get their org to shell out $10 for it.

> Natural consumption of meat is to eat meat sporadically, not 3 times per day.

This is just an appeal to the way things were 70 years ago in the US. Much further back you had Native Americans absolutely eating tons of bison meat in the western US. Other tribes easily got fish for every meal. Others have been heavily vegetarian.

There is no “natural consumption of meat”.

Tbh I still don’t get it. Those cars still have plugins don’t they. Why not use the faster charging method? Those cars will never self-charge as fast as being plugged in. So that alone is a good enough reason. but yes if you were to ask me to wager I’d wager solar cars will never be a major thing, but that’s a guess to be fair.
They ditched the 2-day promise years ago. I'd seen an article somewhere that suggested you can complain to their support about not meeting the 2 day and they might give you some form of rebate or giftcard.

Prime now only means free shipping, thats it. Plenty of 'prime' items have weeks+ delivery estimates.

Btw, they got me hooked on Prime because I have a bunch of photos backed up and no time to transfer them, but cancelling prime immediately deleted your data for some services, like backups. Yay.
Watching Andrew Yang post Forward Party pabulum and getting ratioed on Twitter is a guilty pleasure.
Hey, even Spring 2020. I remember taking over grocery duty during the early days of the pandemic and stocking UP for the whole month. And it would be like 200-250. I'm talking cart overflowing, meat for the freezer, wine, etc.
I've been saying the same for a while, but there are definitely some strange things going on with product quality and replacement cost.

Eg, my microwave has a vent cover on the top that tends to crack and fall off after less than 3 years. They company wants >$90 for the lightweight, simple plastic part.

I have a fridge with a long lasting LED light. The proprietary board that its mounted to failed after less than 4 years.

We've somehow managed to replace short lasting components (filament bulbs) with components that last longer (led) but fail in more costly ways. Somehow the manufacturer gets away with blaming laws (incandescent bulbs were banned, we say!) while also profiting from building things too cheaply.
It might be, if you have infinite amounts of time and resources and expertise.
> Maybe Trump shouldn't crime so much

Where are the charges? I keep hearing he committed crimes without any charges laid against him. I thought we live in a country where the Justice system is based on innocent till proven guilty.

> Why won’t Trum show us the warrant

That’s not how our Justice system is supposed to work. Burden of proof lies to the state.

It is incredible to watch the fundamental concepts of western Justice system such as innocent till proven guilty, proof beyond reasonable doubt, burden of proof on plantiff being casually thrown out when it’s on the other side as if those are not going to come bite them. Once you throw out the foundations of the Justice system away, you become just as you said, like Turkey. Or like Brazil. Where if you think the opposition has a solid chance of winning against you just throw them to jail.

> where ex-presidents can become convicts

Fully Agree. But not at the expense of half of the country by mocking their political beliefs so the guy they voted for can’t run. I don’t question the warrant but why send agents? Why use the FBI even and not let the regular rule of law play out as it is? There was even another case recently where even the judge asked why FBI had to show up unannounced and exert their full force [1]

Making the Justice system and other federal agencies blatantly political has exactly the same problem as you outlined - when a corrupt official does get indicted because of an actual crime they committed many people would question the motive.

And if we are going to set the precedence by the way making presidents convicts, how about we start with a guy who lied to his entire country to send the country to war and cause thousands of lives? Or some guys who bailed out the wall street at the expense of the little guys in 2009? Or the representatives in Congress who blatantly uses insider information to get rich [2].

These are all good points. It probably would have made sense to write in the article that there are so many resources out there tackling the problem of "the autistic person should make an effort to learn the rules,", something autistic people are very aware off. There's not many resources that frame the problem from the other side of things, which is "despite how much effort we put into not running into these problems, it still happens. why?"
There are fixed costs to a job. It doesn't cost much more to dig a bit longer trench. Things like needing to do horizontal boring to cross an intersection would jack up the cost though.

e.g. I used to pay ~$2k for a contractor to come to re-gravel my driveway. Now I own my own excavator and loader and dump trailer it costs me about $200 (plus my time plus equipment depreciation).
This is a really cool product. What's the cost going to look like? Also, is Linux support feasible - even unofficially?
> Zuckerberg noticed that it was getting harder to get all the employees to attend a meeting as they were sometimes taking time out in a day for personal work.

Ohhh! Two declarations based in unfounded evidence that will instill fear in employees and prevent them to ask for raises.

What a shitty piece of journalism.
Acceleration of inflation is the second derivative, the rate of change of that acceleration (what Nixon is referring to), is the third.
Probably in the 110 range. The average programmer IQ is 110. And I don't think the average HN user is better than the average programmer.

You have to figure that from 85 - 120 (depending on the scale) is a huge chunk of the population.

Considering that the average HN commenter is involved in programming in some fashion, and that programming is practical math in some fashion, it does stand to reason there's a higher floor.

But that floor is lower than you might think. In IQ in the 125 range is sufficient for every task on the face of the Earth. You can perform any mental task. That's mildly gifted or above average.

What is stopping them from targeting bigger businesses now?

They seem to list many big companies already: https://supabase.com/company
That's not a conspiracy theory,

I work for Amazon - for a decade. I love it - best job I've ever had. And historically, while it's been a tough place to work, we've always been able to attract top talent. Partially - impactful work. Partially - stock doubles every year.

Well guess what happened in 2020/2021? Despite incredible perseverance through the Pandemic, the stock stopped doubling.

Meanwhile, Microsoft, Meta, and others figured out that they can poach our engineers with a promise of way more base salary, and a less intense work environment.

We've had SDE1s (Juniors) leave Amazon for Meta because they got more money than our SDE3s (Seniors) were getting.

SDE2s (Intermediate) looked at their status quo thought "I COULD bust my ass and get promoted to Senior...or I could go to Microsoft TODAY, get a Senior offer for what I'm already doing, and for more money than my raise would be". (No offense to any of my friends at Microsoft, but https://www.levels.fyi/?compare=Amazon,Microsoft&track=Softw... doesn't lie)

I've talked to a few acquaintances that have left and the universal responses is: "My job is so boring now. I miss Amazon. But It's not stressful (because there is no pressure on me), and I get paid more money".

How can anyone think there is anything wrong with that? You can't. You can speak about Mission and Impact, and some engineers will be attracted to that - I work on building Forever APIs in the AWS Cloud that gets millions of transactions per second. That to me is WAY more interesting than working on Chat app 15/18.

But for most people they just want to make money and live their lives. Fair enough!

The result? Even though Amazon has adapted somewhat by bumping salaries, they've still lost an ocean of people to nothing particularly ambitious or interesting. They're being parked by Microsoft/Google/Facebook to work on boring unimpactful projects so they can't help Amazon kick their asses.

Sometimes one way to make your house nicer is by breaking the windows in the neighbor's house.
I knew something had to be up with them. It’s bad when I come across a round-up or comparison that fails to even mention my top options, and that seems to be the norm over there.
I used to work with Mike and Raymond. Great team, and I love working with them. Glad to see them launching exciting new products.

Good luck!!
Not quite.

Celsius lent it's money to 3AC, and 3AC speculated with Luna/Terra.

When Luna collapsed, 3AC collapsed and now Celsius is collapsing.

It's not a Ponzi. It's a house of cards but not a Ponzi.

--------

Celsius was paying 18% APY, but it's loan to 3AC was probably more than 18%. And whatever 3AC gave to Luna/Terra was more than that.

If anything, this is the toxic asset problem from 2007 just being relearned by the cryptocoin community
That is so over the top as is this whole senator stuff to say Kansas would have no power. As sibling says, it would be proportional at worse.

You know who actually has close to no power? Many, many other types of minorities across America. Yet these minorities are not cared about with retorts by you or the other person. It’s only about those farmers in Kansas
Excessive loud noise is not an example of free speech. It also does physically damage one, like damaging your hearing.
Really cool!

What's the developer platform for the desk going to look like? Seems it works for both Mac and PC, but what OS is the desk itself running? Or is it just acting as an external monitor? If so, whats the developer interface look like?
Hi Bedon, can you contact me at wesen - at - ruinwesen.com and I can forward you the longer drafts I have, if you are interested. Thanks for following up.
I don't know why you assume in the first place that intelligence correlates at all with happiness or unhappiness. There's no adequate proof for any of those

Which is itself an excellent non-well-defined problem people need to learn to solve.
inflation = d price / dt

"rate of increase of inflation" (RII) = d inflation / dt

"decreasing rate of increase" = d RII / dt
>How many charging points do we need now vs # those farms ?

There are ~150,000 gas stations in the United States. There are 2 million farms, and that's after significant consolidation of agriculture during the Green Revolution.

>You make it sound simple, but its not.

You are simply posting 'questions' without bothering to do the least bit of research. Looking up those numbers took less than a minute. Climate change discussions benefit from informed skepticism, not intransigent fatalism.
Its weird that noone really deeply analyzes this. Munro started a teardown, but it ended somewhat abruptly and with only fairly surface level analysis, IMO.

Out of curiosity - have you actually prototyped this? Or is everything on that website just a rendering?

Also, having worked in the space, it seems like you're missing some key features of enterprise workstations - chief among them is supporting monitor arms for external monitors.
> Google or Meta only employ a tiny fraction of them

Yes, but they are competing for the same tiny fraction.
Yes, because inflation is already the first derivative of cost.

So the 'rate of increase' of inflation is the second derivative. And to say that the second derivative is decreasing is another way of saying the third derivative is negative
Social feeds on your desk. For more “productivity”?
My state can handle all of that, I don't need a federal body that's 24tn in debt to steal even more of my money.
Price levels actually did drop compared to June. If anything I bet people are more likely to interpret this incorrectly by believing that prices are still rising compared to last month, just at a lower rate. They are not, it's just that with a n indicator that compares current price levels to price levels a year ago it takes a while for the rate to come down, even if prices stay still or slightly decrease.
Apple's wireless charger design wasn't up to snuff in time for the iPhone 8/X release date, so they arranged for someone else (Belkin?) to sell the design under their brand, so that there would be a decent wireless charger available on release day, but without sullying the Apple brand.

Source: Knew an Apple engineer who was involved with said charger.
Exactly. It’s noteworthy because it underscores just how uncompetitive the ISPs in the US are. That a small shop can completely eviscerate them on quality and price shows that they just aren’t trying. (Look at ISPs in any developed country and our networks are embarrassing in comparison.)

It’s frustrating because the playbook for how to improve this is very clear; local loop unbundling on telephone lines, allow municipalities to offer broadband in underserved areas, and mandate sharing of poles etc. to make it easier for new entrants to compete. Of course when you can’t innovate, legislate; the ISPs lobby hard to prevent all of this consumer-centric stuff from happening.
Lots of rural folks rely on well water.
Ecstasy doesn't make people happy though, the void between highs just gets worse and worse.
second that... the climbing partner/belayer is very important

as for ropes.. just by from the "big" companies, beal, tendon, edelrid, mammut, pezel, they're all certified by the UIAA, just be careful and buy a "single rope" and not a half rope or a twin rope... oh.. and I recommend doing a course in your local climbing gym first for lead :)
This is not surprising to anybody that ever worked at a sufficiently large organization. Once you get a large number of employees, then layer in HR, legal, compliance, etc. considerations it creates quite a lot of opportunities for low performers to get in the door and never leave.
I know it isn't. I'm saying there's precedent for things being banned merely because of a stress response. And the kinds of noise that get banned aren't just ones that damage your hearing.
> no one in the entire company knew how to run a cluster from scratch

How is that even possible? I've worked for 2 dbaas companies that both used k8s and standing up a cluster with a control plane and data plane was as simple as a bash/terraform script. The only thing that was pretty annoying, as I recall, was cert manager because debugging it if you didn't configure it properly was painful, but once it worked it was great.

I mean even the non-dbaas companies I worked at didn't have that issue. It sounds like you would have had that problem even if you _didn't_ use k8s.
> You're misunderstanding this market. There's a wholesale market, which he is buying from. There's a retail market which he is selling into. Some providers service both the wholesale and retail markets, but typically with different divisions, people, tech, resources.

The difference in divisions/people/tech/resources doesn't explain anything for me. They're both the same company with the same CEO, whether it's one business unit or a dozen. It's not like the executives are oblivious to how much money each unit is making and whether another unit could make more in place of it. If you're the CEO and see you could charge twice as much by doing retail instead of wholesale then you'd obviously try to do that.

Rather, the explanations I'm getting from the other comments seems to be that (a) regulators require some kind of reasonable wholesale to exist to third parties, (b) the big ISPs aren't planning to serve those markets anyway, so they're not missing out on any income by taking money from the last-mile ISPs. And as long as those last-mile ISPs don't try to compete for the same customers then they're fine.
Then the gas analogy might be even better: anyone who's been in a room with one or more flies has observed that flies spend a high proportion of their time bouncing off walls and windows.

To the assumed question, it was a major port city and the home of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. To the really obvious question the article asks, the second bomb shows you can do it again, and you're ready to do it some more. It's a "surrender today" kind of statement.
How would California be able to do that with a different Senator set up? No one has said what the alternative to current senators would be. So how can anything be assumed by what a change with senators would provide? Why would that necessarily change your last paragraph? And thus require keeping the current status quo?
