While Reader still shares a place in my heart along with Firefly, I do wonder if it would have died an ecosystem death anyway? Blogging was on the decline, perhaps they sped it up but I don't think it would have held back the tide.

The media consumption landscape is too supercharged with quick hit fast-food to support long form profitably.

Can blogs be run non-profitably? Of course, but either the author is time/money rich, or they'll try and hop the influencer train.

Blogging for blogs sake seems to be destined for niche-ness.

I feel that a reason for this is the cheap human labor available in India, which naturally allows manual-powered processes to scale much more easily in India compared to tech solutions. Also, given the sheer size of the market, even building CRUD apps backed by manual labor for more and more niche use-cases can still garner a lot of users (but revenue per user is still quite low). And note that there is nearly no upside to actually replace the manual component or build state of the art tech solutions because labor costs are relatively small and non-prohibitive

Strange. This was at least 5 years ago so perhaps it changed.

I'm very happy with scaleway. They're a bit smaller and really easy to deal with IMO, you can ask them questions directly on slack and they don't look down on the small customer. I have 2 VPSes of the cheapest kind "Stardust" (1,80€ per month) and they're quick and friendly.

They used to have 8-core atom servers that were a bit unstable, mainly due to the nbd network based root filesystem. One network hiccup and it would go read only. They were really cheap though (12€ per month for dedicated metal is pretty amazing) but I did need support for that a couple of times.

But since I moved over to their VPS offering I've had no issues and I heard that they deprecated all the nbd based platforms due to these issues.

Thanks for sharing this article! It accurately describes the damaging effects of small cash loans to entrepreneurs in these regions. Our company is a direct response to that.

Having lived in Sierra Leone and having family members in the village, I actually have personal experience with various sides of this market and it's impact.

It's important to note that we do not provide microloans to individuals or small entrepreneurs. The loans our users provide through our app go to vetted businesses and are directly tied to life-changing products to people in need. As Jacobin's article correctly states, people cannot afford these assets outright. However access to credit, for those who have been identified to have some level of stable income enables them to have access to products that directly improve their lives and wellbeing. If a person in SL cannot pay for some unfortunate reason, the asset can be recovered rather than being trapped in a terrible debt cycle.

It sounds like you're quite knowledgeable about this area. I'd love to connect and discuss these nuances. Getting your detailed perspective might help us communicate these difference better upfront.

> The answers to those questions are your beliefs. Absent some kind of new insight, could you flip a switch and choose to believe that that code is deeply harmful?

These beliefs, from your example, are something I arrived at through reason. They are always subject to change.

I could just as easily have devised a moral construct which allowed me to adopt maximal behaviors for accumulating money and wealth, for instance. However, I did not choose that path, in the end. I very easily could have, however. And that was purely my choice.

I do share your concerns, your beliefs, as you described them. There are many, many different perspectives at play there, which is one reason why it is such a difficult problem to solve, from a grand-scheme-of-things perspective. We are only human, after all.

I've been hearing about Mudge for decades. It's actually a bit ... heartbreaking ... to see him looking so corporate, but we all age, don't we?

I doubt he was fired for being bad at his job. But I'll bet he was fired for getting in people's faces. That was basically his calling card for years. Why is anyone surprised?

I guess Twitter thought they could hire the cachet, without hiring the man.

I remember an Apple WWDC, way back when. It may have been in the 1980s, as it was in San Jose.

They hired Ken Kesey to drive his bus to San Jose, and give a speech. The party theme was "Hippies," so he fit right in.

So they thought.

He got up on stage, and started talking about taking acid, and counterculture.

The shepherd's crook came right out, and yanked him off the stage.

I heard they had a big fight with him, because they wanted him to leave his Magic Bus, parked in the courtyard.

He drove off in it.

I broil Anaheims (a milder cultivar of the same species) about once a week to make green chile Beyond burgers. I poke a few slits in each pepper, broil them 5 minutes to a side about three inches from the flame, and seal them in a takeout container for a few minutes before skinning. To skin them, I cut around the stem and remove the seedy core, then split the pepper in half with a lengthwise cut. After laying flat the skins should peel off very easily.

Cooking them perfectly is a balancing act of distance to the flame and the cooking time. I always use the broiler on the highest setting. It takes a few iterations with every new oven for me to dial in the exact timing and distance. Ideally you want to char the outside, while retaining the "structure" of the pepper flesh - not too mushy, but still a little toughness.

It doesn't nearly compare to the complexity of a real hatch pepper, but being 3000 miles from Hatch NM, I'll take it!

> Does it mean it costed the US of potential opportunities? I don't think it made any difference in the US. But it surely helped in his home country.

Our immigration service hands out N visas a year. You reject one, someone else will pick up that slot. On an average it should not make a difference either for US or the other country unless they are so small their number of visas doubled or something because of this one reject.

> In the long term, does it make a difference in US if it doesn't bring talent across the world?

Yes it does make a difference, but fixing that has other impacts. In the 90s when the H1 visa regime started (or got big), if someone in Ceylon wanted to write software for an American company, they probably could not do it, at least in the early 90s. They did not have too many other options so US not acquiring an available talent did not impact them. Nowadays such un-acquired talent can do anything - set up a company, work for Russia (or choose any other name who you would rather not have acquire talent, maybe an oil company). However, the fix is not so simple. To acquire all the talent pool would require upping our immigration intake many fold, and that is not going to happen for various reasons (politics, cost, limits to how much immigration can you absorb).

> In EU we have the principle of innocent until proven guilty.

This law is de-facto undermining it. Sure the police will investigate and clear the name but Google, Apple and co. won't. They will just treat you as a criminal they don't want to do business with from the accusation onward because that's the cheapest thing to to for them. Not even including the fact that not having access to your mail until the investigation concludes can cause massive damages you will not get reimbursed for.

Also having had a criminal investigation because of child pornography even if proven that you are innocent hugely increases the chance of you being suspect if there is a e.g. child being abducted around where you live. Which can destroy you live even if you are innocent in many ways, e.g. BILD printing headlines implying a person which can basically just be you is most most likely the criminal. Children being forcefully taken away from there parents even if the parents turned out innocent is another thing which did/does happen and can be traumatizing for the children.

This doesn't even include cases where people are willfully wrongly convicted (even if this judgement is later overthrown). Which is a massive problem in the US when the accused is very poor. Through less so in the EU. But it still happens here in some cases, e.g. involving people with mental problems which can't properly represent themself at all and do not have a support net.

But:

- ARM64 was announced in October 2011. Apple was shipping SoCs based on ARM64 only two years later. Apple can do these things very quickly when it wants to.

- Apple had all the info it would need to base a decision on Arm or RISC-V at the time of the decision to leave Intel. It could have delayed a short while to allow the ecosystem to mature if it had wanted to go for RISC-V.

- It controls a large chunk of the ecosystem anyway (LLVM etc).

I really find the idea that Apple - hardly the most open company in the world (to say the least) - is expected to switch ISAs again to RISC-V for no apparent commercial advantage very, very implausible.
I think this is the $10B question!

It would seem that altermatives which are much more friendly to the planet involve lower yields but of arguably higher quality.

This would mean food would be more expensive, although most western nations eat too much anyway and should appreciate that something as simple as food isn't cheap by definition, especially when we are effectively paying someone else to do all the work.

The other big question is about eating meat (or at least as much meat as we do) since if we could reduce wasted land for animals, we would have more space to grow crops which could make up the shortfall of the lower yields.

Farming is a competition between pests, weather, consumer demands for perfect looking fruit, prices undercut by places with less regulation (or more subsidies), and your actual skill in caring for the farm. It’s a real gamble every year for farmers. This at baseline would raise the costs of food as you’d get less crops per acre or end up seeing retailers go for vendors abroad who still use the chemical and made a larger crop.
"Risking everything" in a literal since, sure. Most people mean Risk everything non-essential and all of your gains. If you have 5,000$ saved up above your necessities to live, "Risking Everything" would be more in line with investing it all into AAPL, or investing it all into a food cart, not maxing out your credit cards and soaking family members or putting your family home up as collateral.

Depending on the circumstances, I tend toward outcome-based documents that help define the what more than the how. The simplest form is to specify one or more of each of these: goals, non-goals, and anti-goals.

Goals are things like: user data entry is appreciably faster. Contrast that with "how" statements like "all user data entry will be on one screen" which only hints at the true motivation and may end up being in tension with the true motivation.

Non-goals are either things that are out of scope (e.g., we will not be introducing new fields to capture during this project) or things that would be fine if they happened as a side-effect but aren't guaranteed (e.g., we will not be putting effort into reducing our cloud spending as part of this project).

Anti-goals are things that you explicitly want to prevent from happening — we do not want to purchase new servers for this project. These "anti-goals" are often non-functional goals in more formal frameworks.

If you are uncertain about the utility of a project, starting with a "motivation" section can be a helpful exercise.

It is weird. I think both actors and the upcoming ownership model (for Swift 6.0) are important. But they are huge to consume with (hard to understand, big foot-print in compiler).

Maybe at some point, we can have Swift 7.0 which demotes classes to a special type of struct (you cannot without ownership model) like Arc in Rust, and that can get rid of some bloats.

I see two issues when the language evolves: 1. the type system still needs some work, parameterized extensions and non-existential / existential type differences are the two major issue I have. 2. get rid of Foundation on non-Apple platforms. The community should really say Swift 7.0 is the "done" version like Go 1.0 (or Julia 1.0), and we will do fixes, small type system QoL improvements and improve standard libraries and have no plan for 8.0 any time soon.

Rapid R&D, weird economies of scale, Chinese subsidies, dumping, etc. PV modules are very cheap these days (often < $1/watt for the modules themselves, then maybe another $1 to $1.50 for the rest of the costs). There are also installers everywhere.

For solar water heating, the nice ones use special vacuum-insulated collectors that are expensive in and of themselves, then you have to pipe all that liquid somewhere, through the roof, often to a special water heater made to accommodate a second heat source. Or have a roof strong enough to have a rooftop water tank. And you have to worry about freezing. In general these aren't common in the USA anymore, but are elsewhere (a 2012 report analyzing reasons https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy12osti/54793.pdf)

As the PV economies of scale ramp up, it's easier to just drop that onto any house (no major retrofits needed, just a few roof holes and a quick electrician approval) and use an electric, possibly tankless, water heater to do the job. The side benefit of that is that you don't have to worry about shunting waste heat. If you generate too much electricity, you just sell it to the grid and/or put it in batteries.

You can have both, but with limited roof space, it's often easier just to get PV. If the costs & paybacks are similar, PV is a lot less maintenance than SWH and is more widely available using commodity components.
