What's the advantage over Plex then? I've installed Kodi before but it didn't seem nearly as polished as Plex. Plex is doing away with plugins but I've never needed those anyways for Movie/TV content.
<<Mazzoli seems to have either not used his product, or, if he did, did so under conditions where he was in charge of it – using it the way an athlete might use a stopwatch to time their own sprints, and not the way a boss might: to decide whether to dock your pay or fire you.

And author covered it as well. The technology is interesting and COULD be applied appropriately, but management class seems to be going for low hanging fruits and easy solutions completely undermining what could be a useful tool if used appropriately. The problem, and not a small one at that, is that the management class, in US at least, had a free ride for the past few decades. They only had to threaten with a stick and that was enough. They only know how to use a hammer.

I absolutely agree on Brazil. It is so easy to forget our jobs have impact on the world outside.
People call me crazy for paying for reddit and YouTube premium. The fact is, they're some of the few places where I can pay directly to host the servers and pay the creators. I won't considering using any other social network where I can't contribute directly, versus indirectly with my data and eyeballs.
> Student debt is a personal responsibility. It is a personal choice.

While I agree with you, to an extent, you cannot ignore than many young people were pressured into going to college, and going to a 'good school' by the authority figures in their life at the time (be it parents or school counselors).

they were sold the lie that college would pay for itself, and for many it has not.

I got lucky, personally, and don't have much in the way of college debt due to scholarships and such, but my degree is still just a very expensive piece of paper since I have done absolutely nothing with it.
I think you are right :) with a great dev infra and policy setup and proper enforcement, docker can be a great solution of environment consistency/standardization.

One use case I forgot to mention and I want to share. In some scenarios, engineers need to work on more than one project and they have completely different set up, which would be difficult for them to maintain multiple environments on their laptops. Back to our docker example, if project A requires docker desktop 4.1.0 and project B requires 4.7.0 it would difficult for the engineers to manage that. I know this is an extreme example but good enough to make the point. This scenarios happen a lot in consultant business where one engineer need to work for multiple clients at the same time.

In terms of desktop codebases, do you mean native desktop application development? I think that is a tricky one as well for similar reasons as mobile development because you need to run the apps on a specific OS for testing. But if one finds a workaround for testing, then writing code on Nimbus environments should be as good as on your local environments.

About the concern the big brother can always slip a timeclock in there:
haha~ as an engineer I feel you. That is never the goal of Nimbus and I would not want my boss to stalk my every single keystroke.
Sure- I'll drop you a hello.

Attempting to circumvent anti discrimination laws by documenting and firing over technical violations only for the class you aren't allowed to discriminate against doesn't improve the legal situation vs simply discriminating more straightforwardly and firing without cause. Firing for cause rather than without can avoid severance payout though.

The US has had (for several decades) guided artillery shells, both optical and inertially guided. These get launched from battleship cannons and deploy fins to guide them to the target. The inertial guidance is almost more surprising, it means the IMU can not only survive being launched, but has enough sensitivity to double integrate accurately through both the launch and free fall.
Why do this for even phones not marked as stolen? The video even suggests having a "timeout" of only allowing a reset after 30 days of inactivity, at which point the original owner has gotten plenty of time to mark it as stolen.
Really, I assumed Disney+ would basically be all profit. Can you link info about the size of the loss they're making?
IIRC, PAYE requires you to pay taxes on the amount forgiven. Depending on how large that is, this just repeats the cycle outside of this "student loan" bucket.

Apparently having a "0 tolerance policy" on something means that even when an accusation is proven to be false, you'll still punish the accused. I am disgusted and Google should be ashamed.
While the limitation to newer models sucks. The fact that thanks to (planned) legislation Apple feels pressured to make parts available to consumers is an absolute win for right to repair.

Is Apple doing as much as they can to make this as unviable as possible? Yes, but it's a first step in the right direction :D

I feel like the politics are even worse remotely. Not sure why. Maybe since there's less opportunity to be overheard, that others talk more behind your back.

Don't you lose context and the ability to give a more specific error message by catching low?
Your TV probably has more than one HDMI input. So you can try kodi.tv by repurposing an old computer you have laying around. I haven't yet convinced my partner to ditch her Comcast set top box. So we use both. Kodi is my first choice for viewing anything. The other box is being used less and less.
I don't think they're synonyms. Propoganda is a much bigger category than fake news.
> Here’s a little secret: there are two graphics APIs called “Metal”. There’s the Metal you know, a limited API that Apple documents for App Store developers, an API that lacks useful features supported by OpenGL and Vulkan.

> And there’s the Metal that Apple uses themselves, an internal API adding back features that Apple doesn’t want you using.

Apple does stuff like this so much and gets so little flak for it.

I use macOS since it seems like the least bad option of you want a Unix but also don't want to spend a lot of time on system management, but this is a real turn-off.
> In my opinion we should be talking more about years of debt held rather than amount of debt held. In theory, college is supposed to "pay for itself", but if some people are continuing to hold student loan debt 10 years, 20 years, 30 years after college, then college obviously did not pay for itself in those cases.

We should also be talking about the federal government's pullback in funding higher education. Public universities used to be the primary route for people to get a higher education.

We need to be talking about WHY college is so expensive.
Well... that's dumb. TIL STEM phd programs with teaching requirements and piss poor stipends are not the bottom of the barrel
For a start, it's blazingly fast!
Everyone here is capable of looking up shipping prices from China or similar even for the volume of 1 screen, and seeing it doesn't cost hundreds of dollars.

Similarly, the average pay of Genius Bar employees and Apple repair techs is semi-public knowledge that can be found on the internet.

Nobody is believing that it costs Apple $400-500 in additional expenses _per screen_ to repair MacBooks.
Though result would just be a lot less people able to go to college.
It makes perfect sense if you know that Snowflake is a product/company. It just needs to be capitalized (and the trailing question mark restored).
Seconded. I use Hulu, Disney+, Apple TV, Prime, and YouTube on my smart TV at various points in time and I never see ads. And I have my Switch, Chromecast, and Blu-Ray player hooked up. In fact the only place I see unexpected ads is on the stupid Blu-Rays.
maybe the four day work week as a way to entice people back into the workforce, but there is no way UBI is going to be helped by the great resignation.

Unless you also happen to be recruiting for that same position, or if your local legislation asks that you prioritise relocating your current employees in other jobs over firing them if their position disappears.

Listen to the testimony given by some of the Sandy Hook families during the Alex Jones trial. It's heartbreaking.
Amazing that this works because of the herculean effort of just a handful of people.
Even the length of time won't tell you much. I owe about $15k, but I graduated in 2008. For the longest time I was making basically interest-only payments because I didn't make enough. Then I was making interest-only payments because I was trying to catch up on my retirement contributions. Then I was making interest-only payments because I was making more money in the market. Then COVID. Now if payments are re-instated I'll continue making interest-only payments because my interest rate is less than inflation, and there's a chance that most of my balance could disappear.

I'm not struggling at all, but I have zero incentive to make any payments as long as inflation stays where it is and there are no penalties. But then you look at stories like the person mentioned in the article - six figures of student debt, probably at 2-3x my interest rate, with a master's degree working as a secretary probably making $40k/yr.

I'm so conflicted because on the one hand I'm not going to intentionally make a decision that puts me or my family worse off financially; it'd be silly to expect anyone to do that. But at the same time as someone who had a job in school, did work study, didn't go to grad school, all to keep my loan balance as low as possible at graduation, I struggle not to roll my eyes a bit when I read articles like this about someone getting a master's degree from a private liberal arts college that charges $2k/credit then getting a job as a secretary and complaining they can't make student loan payments. I mean.. that seems obvious.

I don't have a problem with liberal arts education - I went to a small private liberal arts college - and I don't think there's necessarily a problem with getting a degree in something that doesn't have a direct track to industry and a six figure job. But it's hard to square all that with even the slightest bit of "maybe think about what jobs you can get after school with whatever you want to study, and change your plans for what school you go to, whether you do work study, etc. accordingly."
This isn't collective organizing though.

collective organizing allows management and labor to come to the same table and hammer out a broad agreement based on both perspectives' priorities.

If remote working was a point on the collective organizing table then management would be able to request mitigating actions to compensate for whatever they felt was lost because of WFH.

This, on the other hand, is a single issue action, which involves no bargaining and places demands from 1 side without a corresponding opportunity to mitigate negative effects.
What's the moral or economic case for charging every major the same tuition regardless of potential earning power?

The other side of the question is, what's the case for having the arts or academia in our society? Would you rather just abolish any human activity that isn't financially lucrative?

> Apple does stuff like this so much and gets so little flak for it.

To be fair, Windows has a ludicrous amount of undocumented APIs for internal affairs as well, and you can get deep into the weeds very quickly, just ask the WINE Developers who have to reverse-engineer the havoc. There is no OS without Private APIs, but Windows is arguably the worst with more Private or Undocumented APIs than Apple.

This actually bears parallels to Metal. Until DirectX 12, Windows had no official way to get low-level. Vulkan and OpenGL are only 3rd-party supported, not Microsoft-supported, Microsoft officially only supports DirectX. If you want Vulkan/OpenGL, that's on your GPU vendor. If you wanted low-level until 12, you may have found yourself pulling some undocumented shenanigans. Apple hasn't gotten to their DirectX 12 yet, but they'll get there eventually.

As for why they are Private, there could be many reasons, not least of which that (in this case) Apple has a very complicated Display Controller design and is frequently changing those internal methods, which would break compatibility if third-party applications used them. Just ask Asahi about how the DCP changed considerably from 11.x to 13.x.
'Affordable housing' is a euphemism for "unaffordable housing that is subsidized".

Democrats refuse to see the problem (if the residents can't afford it, can the rest of us?) and Republicans just hope that if they don't build "affordable housing" the residents will go to some other town.

One angle is that adding more money makes things more expensive. If the money isn't there then people will do with less or do without. People have long been concerned that student loans contribute to increasing tuition and the evidence is accumulating for that

I have dealt with Google and AWS under 4 different companies that spent between low double digit to high triple digit a month.

General view:

* AWS - Great customer service. Steak house level customer service when moved from cc billing to contract billing.

* GCP - terrible service regardless of spend and regardless of dynamic or contract billing. AM do not know products. AM's are equivalent of BOA branch employees that solve a problem by calling the same number the customer calls and give the phone to the customer who came to see them in their branch, except that the customer service phone is the same opaque process the customer is subjected to. The only GCP product that had good customer service was the original App Engine, supported out of Germany ( I think ). We could get in touch with engineers responsible for it over video chat.
There is also 10BASE-T1 and 100BASE-T1 which only requires a single twisted pair for transmit and receive.

Apple Music is much slower since they moved to server-side authentication. Every single request has to be sent to the server, authenticated, retrieved, then sent back the end-user.
Add a song to playlist sometimes takes a lot longer than expected. Do not add the song a second time while waiting or it will show up on the playlist twice. Songs stop playing for no apparent reason - I suspect its due to your session needing to be authenticated quite often and this can cause the music to stop. Personal radio station loads X songs, then plays them in a loop until you can be authenticated and make another request for another group of X songs to be played.

As someone with a background in QA, I can only assume they do all their testing under "ideal conditions" so they do not notice the (sometimes frustrating) lag time for end-users.
Planned obsolescence? Batteries are consumables, so once it's dead the consumer is essentially forced to buy a new model.
> Buses won't work in a lot of the U.S. because of last-mile issues, in the way the suburbs were designed.

Roads won't work in a lot of the U.S. because of tax revenue issues, in the way the suburbs were designed.

On a more serious note: there is no point in building unsustainable transit for neighborhoods that can't even support their own infrastructure. Suburbia will always be car-dependent for exactly this last-mile issue, but the fix is to shorten the last mile such that a bus actually makes sense. Because even to run an automated car you need a road that needs to be maintained and paid for from time to time.

edit: also, busses don't necessarily mean "20m long with capacity of 100 people". Here in Europe we have small bus lines operating with busses of a capacity of 20 people. In fact, Vienna already has the exact thing you propose: https://www.wienerlinien.at/eportal3/ep/contentView.do/pageT...

A lot more would believe the BBC article. I don't believe that the BBC would do too many direct lies, but you can get very far by selective sourcing and we know the BBC is willing to go very far on issues of omission: they never mentioned Saville being a pedo rapist, fx, probably because it would look bad for them.
It doesn't have commercials and there will be a less expensive plan that does have them but that's optional. So your reason is wrong.

Yes, exactly. The reason it didn't work (and he felt it didn't work) is this: if you're doing a comic, you draw the subway entrance and the man, but you don't put in anywhere near as much detail as a photograph allows. That means the difference of 'man/not-man' takes up a far larger proportion of 'observable space', and extraneous differences are far less. 'iconic' means you focus down on what's relevant, and there's too much else to see in photographs :)
Those two concepts aren't at odds really.
Thank you very much weddpros! My brother and I have been building it and building apps on top of it for 7 years now. We launched SurrealDB in public open beta 4 weeks ago. Just the two of us at the moment! We have some really big things planned for SurrealDB.
> Seems like lip service to me

I think that would invalidate the warranty. You need to use your hands.
Hi jxi thanks for the question! Our plan is to make SurreealDB accessible and usable from as many codebases/platforms/architectures as possible.

We've got plans for integration into all of the big IDEs down the line, so we absolutely will add IntelliJ and DataGrip to the list.

We'll definitely want to get as much feedback in this area when we get to it, so do join the community (https://surrealdb.com/community) as we love all ideas and suggestions!
France really feels like they're building towards serious trouble in the near future. The gap between the discounted electricity costs paid by consumers and the actual underlying wholesale prices is only widening (to the point I think they may even have the lowest consumer costs and highest wholesale prices in Europe, or at least not far off), and that basically all has to be subsidised by the government using debt. They're also part of the Eurozone which is founded on common agreements on government debt, and they're at twice the debt cap and rising. The general consensus is that they cannot stop doing this without serious civil unrest and likely widespread rioting which seems well founded in past events. Energy prices are not the only problem - they have more generous retirement policies than other countries, for example - but changing those other things is just as intolerable.

2008 was on the verge of a massive deflationary spiral. Bank debt forgiveness likely did cause inflation, but we needed it then! We are now in a period of high inflation already, so we would very much not like more.
It's the difference between heating your house to 72 and walking around barefoot, or 68 and wearing a sweater and wearing loafers.

Those are the tradeoffs. Need for indoor heating has a lot of stretch. In Europe, there's a ton of stretch on personal mobility too, since there are viable alternatives for the car.

Europe can weather this crunch a lot better than America.
"To be fair, there is one notable exception: Imec, an R&D hub for nano- and digital technologies. This organization has succesfully spun-off multiple startups in its specialist field. However those are often based on specialization in a very narrow field of research. I’m more into the Silicon Valley-type of startups."

Isn't this exactly what countries should be doing, funding emerging niche technologies?

I assume by 'silicon valley-type' you mean facebook, twitter, uber, and the like?

IMHO, many of these don't seem to add any real value to society, certainly not in proportion to how much money they attract.

They don't have this wealth because when they were given access to interest rates much lower than what they would have under independent central banks / currencies they went and spent it on consumer goods instead of investing into capital.
The monthly bill does make me wince, but Snowflake of course includes all server and compute costs, no installation, initial configuration or upgrades etc. It’s genuine SaaS.

It’s also very simple to manage and optimise so less DBA or DevOps type manpower.

Then of course you can perfectly right size your instances and pay by the second for compute and by the byte for storage.

Expensive, but lower TCO than alternate approaches I suspect.
