I agree with both statements. I'm an electrical engineer and a programmer in my late 30s. I have a pretty good handle on how complex electronic devices are created, because I've worked on them myself. On the other hand, if asked to create a fully mechanical camera, I'd have a long way to go to figure out where to start. There's so much clever engineering and ingenuity that went into them that is mostly gone now, that they indeed feel magical to me.

That said, modern devices feel magical in their own way, which is why I'm an engineer!
College shouldn't be a prerequisite for so many jobs. My bachelors is directly related to the field I'm working in and I don't think the content that I learned was that useful and the most impactful thing has been the college recruiting job fairs where I got internships and a job.

I tried to use a CPAP 15 years ago but it didn't work for me because of the noise and the fact that I had long hair and it felt like i was trapped in it and it was difficult to get it all right so i felt comfortable going to sleep.

a few years ago I got another one, and didn't like it at first. Turned out that I needed the mask that covers my nose and mouth because I am a mouth breather. Getting a different mask made a big difference.
Tim Apple built his computer so that if I bump it off my waist-height table, it will shatter into a million pieces and I'll be out >$500. Conveniently, Tim Apple also sells a peace-of-mind insurance policy that replaces your Mac no-questions-asked. Does this create a conflict of interests that encourages them to design fragile display assemblies, unfixable Logic Boards and un-upgradeable storage? You decide!
It also helps to remember 1 db = x 1.25, although you can derive that from the ones above.
Do you have any data on the pricing of distributed databases that do support proper foreign key constraints? And how it stacks against Snowflake pricing?
Yeah, I don’t like that either but that’s really on the creator. I prefer the patreon model or at least when they put ads at the end.
Stop making something as wonderful as children into an -ist. While you may be correct that we have too many people, calling humans who want to or do reproduce--we are not unique in our biological needs to do just that--"natalists" is just a short hop to demonization or worse. Or have you already made that hop, perhaps?
That the high school teaching experience is vastly different from your wife's experiences teaching primary school children... seems to make sense?
Estonia is a member of NATO, so it "doesn't matter", in the sense that Estonia being a target means that all other members of NATO are a target. Of course practically speaking it is a bigger issue for Estonia than for say Canada, but at least within EU, I would not let that aspect be a major point in deciding places to move to.

Most Internet application protocols run on top of UDP or TCP. They mean a new application protocol, like SMTP, HTTP, HTTPS, L2TP, POP3, IMAP4, SNMP, LDAP, SSH, FTP, RDP, LPD, XMPP, Kerberos, remote syslog, etc etc etc. If you're on any flavor of Unix, take a look at /etc/services and you'll see there are lots of protocols in the world.

Apple charges what they can because the market isn't free.
If you have no control over the hours you have to work, could be called in at any time, or are not allowed to work for others at your discretion, a paid a base rate for being retained makes sense.

Not to mention, for many jobs, time at work is not a measure of ‘how much work’ you’ve done and such a measure creates an incentive to be inefficient.
Hey all - this has been a summer side project. My goal was to make a baseball prediction game that didn't involve gambling or prizes, and is also fun. Thoughts? Oh yeah - no registration required.
I think this says more about grad school than it does the costs of undergraduate education. You just have to look at the competition for tenure track faculty positions to see that there are plenty of people qualified for the positions who want them today. As far as I know there is no drought of applicants for prestigious grad school programs either.
Here's the theory. The economy is "too hot", there's too much money circulating, and as a result demand increases which drives up prices. By making money more expensive, by raising interest rates, that money is taken out of circulation because it's more expensive and demand decreases which drives down prices. That's how things work in a normal market. Bottom line: economy is too "hot", i.e. high inflation, you raise rates. If you want to "juice" the economy then you lower rates.

My partner and I are both sick and tired of feeling like our purpose in life is to make rich people richer, and we reached the age where we realized there is no glory in corporate life, only a endless hamster wheel.

So we quit our jobs, sold our house, and bought a sailboat that we are working on making fully independent with solar and a watermaker.
We still need money though.
In the short term we have a cash buffer, in the long term we are hoping to do two things, optimize our cost of living and increase the revenue of the side business. If we are unable to balance the needle within three years, we will start taking on freelance assignments.
I'm guessing because squatting/parking is relatively inexpensive.
The phrase to search is “transmission mechanism of monetary policy”, but generally, your customers’ financing is also more expensive, so they can afford less at current prices, let alone higher ones. Reduced income and increase expense means you cancel investments and lay off staff. The reduced demand for investment goods and workers means less upward pressure on prices.
Quit reading at “large stage capitalism”. Such a bs term. This is not capitalism, this is techno corporate fascism. That is what is failing and causing misery. And the more we gaslight capitalism, the further down the totalitarian path we are going to go.
Yeah that's my point. Your comment doesn't have anything to do with the article.

On the other hand though, the Eurozone population pretty much equals that of the US, and surely there are a bit underdeveloped US states compared to the overdeveloped ones, right? So why is the EU bad idea and the US is not?
I guess noone can receive fake brownie points (paper impact factor) by fixing that stuff.

Estonia is in NATO and the EU right? I think a Russian invasion of a NATO country would be a problem if you lived anywhere in Europe, or the world really.
Estonia also has electronic voting that seems to work well. Wish more countries could be similar.

> pretty insane that OpenGL 2.1 is even functional on a GPU this strange,

Well... you were one of the most vocal critics saying it wouldn't happen anytime soon.

> unfinished, hacky implementation (the author's own concession)

Still more stable than Intel's official Arc drivers, so who defines "hacky"? ;)

> Plus, you're going to be stuck on x11 until any serious GPU drivers get written

Only because it is running on macOS, which supports X11 but not Wayland. On Linux, Wayland or X11 will both work, no problem.

> No MacOS-like trackpad gestures either, you'll be waiting for Wayland support to get that too

Again, Wayland will work on Day 1, it's just a limitation of running the driver on macOS until the kernel support is ready. When it is on Linux, Wayland will be a full-go.

The problem is that there isn't enough gas being produced because of the war. The solution to this is to make the gas companies pay war profiteering taxes (say 98%) as their income is soaring because of a war, and use the money to invest in other ways to heat homes. Scotland has a lot of coal, why not start looking at creating coal gas?

Heat pumps would be better, but there is already an insane queue for those.

Water and electricity are vital public utilities too, despite the taxpayers not being forced to pay for those for everyone else.
Does it really pay for itself or is that only true for law, medicine and engineering degrees?
> The media (left especially) proceeded to talk about Trump 24/7 and give him unlimited free air time (and they got a ratings bump in return). They took someone who was a fringe character and made him seem like the mainstream. The Streisand Effect kicked in and Trump immediately shot up in the polls.

your post is chock full of simply ridiculous claims and this one is the crowning piece. please supply *any* actual documentation for any of these made up ideas. Trump shot up in popularity because he ran in primaries, he had plenty of money to do so as well as a lot of backers (both domestic and foreign, we were to learn) all around the country and conservative voters liked his ideas (mostly the anti-immigrant rhetoric, which is the oldest song in the conservative catalog, as well as a deep well of hatred for HRC that had been developed by conservative interests for literally decades) the best, plain and simple. FOX news would have built him up ahead of time as they are a right wing propaganda outlet that most certainly did want to create a Trump candidacy, sure. however "Left wing media" or even "mainstream" media outside of FOX did not "pre-choose" Trump ahead of his popularity by any means. As he continued beating everyone in polling and later in actual primaries by crazy numbers, the (non-FOX) media appropriately noticed and reported on it, and he became the center of attention as is actually appropriate. There is absolutely nothing new about that in conservative politics (except for the novel opportunity to run against a female candidate who had been built up as a focal point of anger for 25 years).

The bigger problem with this notion that Trump was "fringe outside the mainstream" is this attempt to distance US conservatism from the deeply nativist, anti-immigrant stance of the Trump presidency. But that is exactly a core value of the conservative base, which I have personally observed for my whole life amongst the many conservatives in my large extended family as well as in the communities I live in. He is exactly what "regular" conservatives want. Trying to pin it on a "the media made us do it!" is a dangerous lie in that regard.
This made me think about other tech that has no good use. Flamethrowers come to mind. Not the fun ones that Elon will sell you as a gimmick, but the ones that toss sticky flammable liquids at people.

I was listening to someone describe their use in WWII, and he was I suppose trying to defend it by saying that actually most of the people it killed weren't burned at all, but rather killed because they were in enclosed fortifications and apparently flamethrowers produce prodigious amounts of carbon monoxide - basically you'd take a couple breaths and it's over - the carbon monoxide will bind into your blood cells such that even if you immediately step out into fresh air, you're a dead man walking. But at least your corpse will be recognizable for your friends and family I suppose; you won't be burned beyond recognition.

But building a reliable flamethrower is an interesting technical challenge, so I'm sure you can find an engineer who will be willing to give it a go.
Not necessarily, we don't have the stats in front of us. My anecdata matches this pretty well though.

I believe this forum exists so people like us can have a civilized debate. Hence why I wanted to find out more why you support the people you listed.

1) Supporting Trump - a populist - was a terrible idea. Thiel's rationale doesn't make sense in this context. If you support a known liar and narcissist who doesn't care about the country then you get what we have now - an ever more divided country and 6th of Jan insurrection attempt - where people died.

2) When experts in the field Musk has businesses in are calling him out on his false claims then I think it's not just opinion based but based on fact. When it comes to Hyerloop, he had no intention to make it a success. It was purely to benefit his business - Tesla. Selling Tesla as self-driving cars and people believing it has cost actual lives as well. Again - Elon doesn't care - he only cares about himself. Or what about calling a rescue diver a pedo. This alone tells you a lot about his character.

3) Look at the state of the US - do you think it's going well? A lot of those folks that are in power believe in Rand's ideas.

So it's not opinion based - but observational and listening to the expert and scientific community.

I agree with you - we need bold visionaries - but Thiel and Musk are not those people. Both are exploitative.

Just using up-to-date Chrome. I see the network request where I get redirected to "https://digs.fm/users/auth/spotify/callback" with a code and state. It returns a `Set-Cookie`, but I see my next request to the digs.fm homepage has another `Set-Cookie`. Unsure if you are just re-generating session IDs on every request or if the session data from the callback is being overwritten when I hit the homepage again.
in 2015 I made a change that stopped 90% of the tickets that rolled into my team's queue. The remaining 10% were complicated real customer issues. Our entire department was closed 6 months later, because I assume our ticket completion was so low, and we were so slow to fix issues. :/
His point still stands that giving everyone 80k is more fair. The people who took out huge loans for degrees still have degrees from nice schools which will likely help them in the future. This shouldn’t be a win-win for people who mismanaged their money
Exactly, the proposed solutions are always more state power and more state intervention which will simply lead to even more regulatory capture and even stronger entrenched corporate interests.
It also implies that you get no benefit from picking it up yourself from their shop. I might be tempted to check out some of their other products if I feel incentivised to drop by.
I have a few more revolutionary ideas for this.

First off, we need to get this environmentally clean. Obviously, this must all be electric. For last mile, battery electric is the obvious choice; however I think for main routes and highways some kind of wire system would be ideal. This could also charge the battery needed for the last mile or at truck stops and stuff.

Next, we need to make sure that these self-driving units (SDUs) are always centered under that wire. Software would be an easy choice, but with the power delivery arm attached any failure would result in infrastructure destruction, so I'd propose a system of steel guards that force the wheels such that they can't escape the predefined envelope.

Come to think about it, rubber-on-concrete is ridiculously bad when it comes to efficiency, so maybe the SDUs should have two sets of wheels, one for last mile and steel wheels for the much more favourable friction coefficient. Then we should couple these units together, because the combined traction force equalizes loads across the whole chain and makes for better acceleration of the linked units resulting in less traffic.

Finally, we should equip these SDUs with a radio like GSM or something such that they can communicate with each other and drive in breaking distance, so we can increase the overall speed limit.

Gosh, I wonder why nobody has thought of this before.
There are some strict time-keeping requirements for bathroom use when it comes to certain contracts, like government ones. It wasn't too bad, but I forget the specifics. It was like it had to be less than 5 minutes, or you use your 15 minute breaks or lunch for anything longer.
There aren't too many people in America.

How about we focus on fixing the services we have for those already here

You're going to have a hard time fixing anything at all when your population pyramid is inverted. For long term stability you need to have one child per adult. The US currently produces 0.85 children per adult. Innovation dies when all the young peoples' work is going to support a massive geriatric population that only consume.
It's a limited SSH, so you can use rsync and Borg for backup. You can also use Samba to connect to it. So I think nextcloud would work with samba.
Finished my MS last year, finished my BS in 2018. So there's that, and you don't need to go to a fancy pants top of the line university. Plenty of ways to make things more affordable, like go to a community college for your associates then transfer to a full university.

Maybe I do have an impressive lack of understanding of a dozen or so topics, but I grew up as the oldest of over 5 children to a single mother who was a school teacher, I spent most of my school time on free or reduced lunch, and was categorized statistically speaking as likely to end up low achieving. So sure there might be mitigating circumstances for some people, but I don't think that we can completely abscond with the idea of personal responsibility.

Further the reason school costs have continued to rise is because the schools know everyone will get a loan for it because the government pumps a bunch of money into just this one sector through the loans, by forgiving loans you are incentivizing a continuation of school's increasing price because they face no consequences for it and will still receive the money they want.

Finally if you aren't convinced by my account, I have a friend currently finishing his degree, he has spent his entire summer laying concrete in the hot sun for hours a day, busting his but to provide for his family and have enough money to finish his degree, so that is currently happening. To pretend that college can't be afforded without ridiculous loan is hokum.
Certainly. They're trying to get ahead of right to repair legislation.

Has anyone worked in a place where devs were deliberately given uninterrupted time, time where they were out of contact?

The closest examples I have personally is contracting and co-running my own business, where I'd just turn off all my points off contact and work. (I set my hours.)

It was way more than an hour a day of coding, let alone coding+thinking.

I thought it was great.
Obviously college isn't a prerequisite for the vast majority of jobs. The majority of people working today don't have college degrees. Look outside the tech industry bubble. In many cases, employers only list a college degree as a job requirement because it's an easy way to filter down an excess of job applications. If they were actually short of labor they would eliminate that requirement in order to get more applicants.

Most people don't belong in college in the first place. It's just a waste of their time, and a waste of resources. I'm certainly not willing to pay higher taxes so that students can goof around and party for 4 years. What we really need is expanded access to trade schools and apprentice programs.
Don't know why someone would complain about Estonia? Haven't lived there but visited quite many times. Tallinn has a dense old town. Pärnu is a laid back walkable summer city with a great beach. Saarenmaa is calm and quiet. For negatives, they do lack mountains, there aree large boring pine forest parts in the middle and there are still, after 30 years, a lot of Soviet era semi ruined buildings that make at least me sad. (Buildings can be even older but they were not maintained for the 40+ years of Soviet occupation.)
The issue with the server-client relationship in games is there a trade-off between latency and security required.

Offload too many tasks to the server and you end up with a game where you encounter latency where it's critical, like hit detection (and likely many others). Those extra milliseconds does make or break the experience.

Not saying it's an impossible problem to solve, just that multiplayer games are operating in a time-sensitive environment.
Because US is a transfer union. In EU you have a lot of transfer unions within individual states (eg. East-West germany, North-south italy). When a greek moves to germany for work, the money does not flow between the two countries
I'm a little confused as to what this actually is.

Is this a route planning built on top of OSM? Does this bundle OSM data "all in one" so that you can more easily host an OSM server?
It's certainly proven true so far?
I disagree that there are too many people. Have you read much about the Malthus/George debates? Malthus has now been wrong for 200 years (and counting).
The database's feature set is very interesting !

One thing to note is the license, which is incompatible with OSI open-source licenses :

Ah, looks like I definitely missed that.

In any case, I don't think Asahi/M1 has proper KWin or Mutter support yet. It's still going to take a while before you get a truly smooth desktop Linux experience on those devices, but some hardware acceleration is definitely better than none!
If it wasn't in NATO or the EU, Russia would've already invaded by now, that's obvious enough.

But they are in NATO and the EU, so they appear to be safe. Russia invading Estonia would give the US and other NATO powers effective free license to start hurling missiles themselves (instead of just handing them to Ukraine).
It really depends on your definition of attractiveness, which would be highly subjective. For the author of the article, the things you would consider unattractive clearly didn't pose a big enough issue to counter the things they do find attractive.
The point is that no matter how good they are at enforcing, they still can't manage to use the regulations to actually regulate behavior of the economic agents in a way that is beneficial to society.

"Strict emission laws" did not stop EU car makers to focus on ICE cars, it worked only to give consumers a false belief that their cars were not as clean as they believed. It's not regulation that is changing the industry, it is Tesla.

GDPR did not (and will not) stop big companies to collect and exploit user data.

"Right to repair" did not get the big manufacturers to stop producing devices that are consumer friendly and don't stop planned obsolescence.

Europeans have this stupid sense of moral superiority, but the people still buy from China, still look at cost above ethics and just use the "but our govt is strong" as an excuse to redeem themselves of personal responsibility.
