My examples used heterosexuals, but the principles work whatever sexual orientation you're talking about. Presumably gay men have the same inviolable rights, around who they love or what they do with their bodies, that straight women do.

Before ~ 2007, Google didn't believe in project managers. There were actually no project managers roles (even though some people were probably doing considerable amounts of project management) and the expectation was that engineers would know enough to structure efforts and timelines.

That evolved into a situation where program managers (mostly - programs have a sense of scale right??) exist in most orgs and are critical to keep things aligned. There were (are still?) even internal conferences just for program managers.
Lol no no, I think Tyrion drinks a lot more than Sundar... and Sundar certainly doesn't seem like the womanizing type either. But hey, I didn't know him personally so who knows.

I recall a news story from a few years ago (can't find it now)...

There was once a bank that looked the other way when lots of shady cash came in, allowed transfers of those amounts to to foreign banks, basically ignored KYC rules, etc. Word got around, and lots of criminals all over started using this bank for all of their money laundering purposes.

Some banking authority started noticing a lot of suspicious transactions, and was preparing to shut the whole thing down, disconnect the bank from all transfers, raid offices, arrest employees, trumpet press releases about how they're protecting the American financial system, etc... (ie, exactly what they are supposed to do).

The bank was, of course, a honeypot run by some other 3-letter agency, who was actively facilitating money laundering in order to collect enormous amounts of info about who was involved.

(basically the banking version of that 'encrypted phone' scheme).

The raids were mere hours away when someone put two and two together, and managed to get it called off.

China has multiple generations. Even "stark" demographic collapse at PRC scale is generating millions of new births per year (several times greater than US even with immigration), there will never be shortage of bodies to fill the military, especially increasingly small force structure of modern militaries that's shifting towards autonomous platforms. As for economy, expect PRC to continue growing, more importantly, move up tech/value chain and build comprehensive national power, just like Japan did while her demographic was absolutely in the shits because JP managed to massively improve human capita via education to create the skilled workers for high value economy (also SKR, TW). For reference PRC is now outputting as much STEM talent as all OECD combined.

Like other the Asian Tigers with death spiral demographics still grew significantly simply because cohort of skilled workers increased massively even though demographics broadly declined. There's a reason PRC is rapidly moving up science and innovation indexes (controlled for quality, not just citations). The reality is, PRC demographics has never been MORE competitive, and will increasingly be, because advanced economic development phase is just getting started. Quantity of quality is in human capital is increasing at stupendous pace. Now add in PRC is adopting as much industrial robots / automation than the next 15 countries combined and that overall demographic decline (as in net population decline) only improves PRC strategic position by reducing import dependence. And that the massive regional income disparity + huge home ownership + enviable house hold savings rate = PRC elderly simply don't have significant expection (or need) for old age social support. In many ways, PRC is almost optimized for weathering demographic bomb with less social cost relative to properly developed countries that are seeing comparable demographic decline.
Social networks are by no means an oligopoly. There are a LOT of social networks out there. There is a lot of competition. There are few, if any, real barriers for an end user to switch to a different social network – beyond convincing their friends to do so.
Yeah my math sucks -- off by one (order of magnitude) error.

I mean they say this, but let’s say it’s true (this study is small, and this is the kind of question where people “know” how they meant to answer to be a Good Person (tm)), lots of people can think that, but will still go for the best option from an overall consumer view.

E.g I’ve recently being redoing a chunk of my kitchen, and issues with things from Home Depot and Amazon have been handled better in every case. Like I got a dishwasher from home depot that was clearly dropped (and delivered upside down), and they sent ups to pick it up for the return the next day. Similarly Amazon with damaged goods. The smaller firms have been the ones where I had more problems - so I paid more, it took longer, and I had more difficulty getting responses to a few of the missing parts. Every small/local business is like a lottery, and if there are other things involved (like when your contractors are going to be working) that just becomes too risky.

So yeah, I’d prefer a company that lowered CEO pay, but preferring something doesn’t make it a realistic choice. (In a similar vein, I’d prefer to have an electric car, but that’s a lot of money and my current car works, so my current car remains)
> 3. Kids and the Internet. About half the 10 year olds I know (which is more than a few) have phones with no filters on them. Kids running wild. If more things were more easily accessible than the culture around screens and handling that with kids will need to change. Kids are ready for different things at different ages and the way they view things during their formative years impacts the way they view and treat others.

Honestly, this was not different in my youth. When we found access to the internet, we of course looked for weird stuff (for those who remember: for example rotten.com; I was rather disturbed by it and learned my lesson that you shouldn't click on every link that you see on websites).

I can tell you how this transformed me: if you have seen the early free spirit of the early web in your formative years, you become deeply suspicious of the political attempts to censor the internet - for example to "protect the children". This is what the authorities really fear: that people don't believe that this is all for their best.

It's always harmful to your reputation to shut down a service, but it is especially harmful when it is an ecosystem or platform play where you are burning the good will of third parties who co-invest to create the platform. Clearly stadia is in that second category. While Google can refund consumers for their purchases they can never make up for the opportunity cost those parties suffered.

At this point, I can't see how Google can ever launch another platform or ecosystem except on a 100% transactional basis.

Wonder what the content of the documents is if they indeed are a honeypot? Presumably one wouldn’t put any actual secrets but that presents the problem that one would need to know the real secrets to plant fake ones. Additionally the fake ones would implicate some real person, presumably which is problematic if a sophisticated hacker exfiltrated successfully without detection.

I could never get anything done in espionage. I’m far too paranoid.
For what was supposed to be a spontaneous protest, this all seems incredibly well-coordinated. Certainly wouldn’t be the first time a foreign government used riots to influence government policy. Even further, Khamenei may not last the year and such riots could heavily influence the selection of his successor, offering a strong motive to any country looking to engage in such espionage.

Conversely, some applications would like a leaky abstraction they have some control over. Some caching will likely remain beneficial to link to a carrier thread.

As a member of the Cassandra community I’m super excited to get my hands on virtual threads come the next LTS (and Cassandra’s upgrade cycle), as it will permit us to solve many outstanding problems much more cheaply.

I hope by then we’ll also have facilities for controlling the scheduling of virtual threads on carrier threads. I would rather not wait another LTS cycle to be able to make proper use of them.
Sure, but I do not see why that would cause bankruptcy. Their market cap would shrink, but unless they are over leveraged, they should be able to continue operating without “folding”.

Money is the goal of the individual Cogs in the machine. Control is the goal of the machine itself, which uses money to incentivize (power) its Cogs. If you're a Big Tech company you essentially have endless free money to leverage compared to your Cogs. The machine itself doesn't care about money. That free money train is coming to an end though over the next decade. Or at least that's the reality I'm planning for. :)

Erlang runtime has a work stealing scheduler but it has specific constraints like "how to make sure each running execution context gets a fair share of time and can't lock up the VM (I think you can still lock the go VM with an infinite loop)... So each VM has different concerns.

It's an opinion comment on the internet, not a dissertation, but I base it on talking with one person who worked at valve hardware for a time and public information from the ex campo santo people's blogs and things.

No. Definitely not. I worked at a company that lent money for car loans. We A/B tested the HELL out of our lending strategies. Testing, data collection, dashboards, monitoring was a HUGH part of our strategic advantage.

Let me check if I'm getting this right - it sounds like the more fundamental way to address this wouldn't be to make a new Tumblr/OnlyFans/..., but to make a financial services provider that doesn't discriminate against those businesses? I wasn't aware that you basically can't use financial services if you're in that business - is that true? How does OnlyFans handle this?

I've always been puzzled how in movies on TV in the USA, they'll air brush nipples, cleavage and butt cracks away... in the same scene that someone is being gruesomely murdered with blood spurting and entrails hanging out. It makes no sense that nudity is too dangerous for children to see, but desensitizing them to violence and gore is OK.
Maybe we're seeing different things but I do not mind it at all. It is exactly what I would expect for such a broad query. In fact, I was prepared to see way worse things.

It sucking less than all other alternatives is a pretty good reason to like it. There is a lot of vested interest in good search engines and the fact that no competitors, even from behemoths like Microsoft, have been able to do any better shows that it's a hard problem to solve.

I think a lot of people are naturally resistive to change and are stuck in the past when the web was simple and 10 links was all it took. Nowadays, the web is so complex that it's nearly impossible to tell what you want to see off a broad query. In my experience, it guesses very well and the complaints about Search having gotten worse are really complaints about the Internet as a whole having gotten worse. What used to be dedicated websites are now uncrawlable pages on a large company's website (e.g. Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube, Facebook, Amazon, etc). I personally like all of the "onebox" results that don't require me to go elsewhere -- search has become much faster for me in that way.

I actually really don't like Amazon's retail site. It's complex and it's not clear why I see so many repeated identical items as separate listings. One a single listing, I can choose alternative sellers than the default. Is that linking to other listings or is still the same listing? Who knows. It hasn't changed or improved in decades.
Me too. I was all in on Google services, owned a Nexus 4, 5, 6P, Pixel, Pixel 3. Even a couple Nexus 7's, and a Chromebook. I was into rooting and custom ROMs, I got people to use Hangouts, I had a Google Play Music subscription, I backed up all my pictures to Google Photos (still do that one), I was learning Android Development and had an app published, etc.

But after so many years of being jostled around and seeing every product I liked and used destroyed and brought back as something worse, I had to get off the train eventually. Google has no long-term plans. They only know how to ruin things that were once good. Android isn't the fun, open mobile OS it once was. It got more locked down with each update and became a cheap imitation of iOS. So eventually I just bought an iPhone. I went through so many messaging apps and renamings and relaunches of various products and services.

At some point you realize Google has no respect for their customers and no interest in making products that are nice to use. They only want to optimize people's attention so they can turn it into ad revenue. I celebrate their failures now, in hopes it'll one day shake something up enough that they'll have to try giving a shit for once.
There is though.

Project Farm has unsponsored empirical comparative reviews of multiple products for the same use. He has affiliate links for every product tested so he makes commission no matter which one you buy. Compare this to a one-at-a-time reviewer where the reviewer is motivated to sell each product as much as possible.

The only perverse incentives are (1) he makes more if you buy the more expensive one and (2) he doesn't make money from free/DIY solutions. 1 would require knowing the market really well and faking tests on video. W.r.t. 2 he's demonstrated good faith by including DIY and vintage options.
What’s the difference in this case?
> Unless another has come online since the last time I looked, there is only one (1) grid-scale solar installation in the entire world, and it was built with massive government funding.

What a bizarre line to draw. The technology that benefits from being distributed rather than needing massive centralisation to be viable isn't concentrated to the point it causes the grid to be over-centralised?

Whatever metric you need to satisfy those mental gymnastics you can watch it come true realtime over the next year or two by adding 'unsubsidized solar park GW' to your news topic feed.

Well you made some statements in your previous comment about pressure which suggested they were generally applied to espresso making. That simply isn't true.

Espresso machines without OPV are really a minority. Even single-boiler entry level machines like the Gaggia Classic or the Rancilio Silva have an OPV.
Sure, but it's a non-sequitur from my comment.
Moving millions of people isn’t a simple proposition. And these types of markets are winner-take-all so there isn’t much room for a competitor.

It seems Musk went into this knowing he was going to kick off about the fake users number being off. And this lawsuit was always going to happen.
Some types of regulation increase competition - for example, antitrust law.
The man is very well know in Apple's supply chain, and has a reputation of a used car salesman, nevertheless he is phenomenal at that.

What are the next steps to look at from here?

- Creating a grammar to 'direct' the video

-- Blocklist for inappropriate words or phrasing through an Independent advisory body

- Optimising the output to synthesise a coherent video

- Add rudimentary sound output for the video

- Ultimately, the next frontier is building virtual simulations, ie. World Building <> Metaverse
I'm not sure if "rent-seeking" is the right term to describe it, but an inevitable thing about your hypothetical plumber is that while he may be making more money, his new customers are getting a worse for the price (ads are expensive) plumber.

He will gain market power in his local market though, which could lead to his expansion and the closing of his least successful competition, bringing down area plumbing wages and allowing him to scoop up bad and inexperienced plumbers at a discount.

After that, we don't have to worry about his skills because he isn't working as a plumber anymore. He'll instead be paying bad plumbers bad wages, and keeping all the profits for himself. His desire will be to lower prices while expanding advertising, so the only variable to be played with is plumbers' wages vs. profit margins. He could then make high wage offers to the more skilled plumbers working for his competition in order to kill them off, and each time another independent shop dies, more of the wages will be shifted to profits.

Eventually, the market is served by the same set of plumbers as before (or likely fewer because some will leave the profession or the area), working at lower wages, but charging higher prices, whose excess goes directly to the shrewd marketer plumber. That's when our plumber enters local politics.

Maybe it is rent-seeking.

To be fair, Microsoft had that problem long before Google had it, with different parts of the org going their own way, there's even that famous image comparing org structures (https://i.insider.com/4e0b340dcadcbbdd35120000?width=750&for...).

I remember back in the days you could have three or so different image viewers created by Microsoft installed on your machine (Office had its own for example). Then there was MSN Messenger, Windows Messenger, Skype, Skype for business, Lync.

That being said, I think Google far surpassed Microsoft in creating things that get shut down and have been for the last decade at least while Microsoft has improved on that front.
Hmm, I suppose it's interesting to consider who lied in this instance. It was demonstrably false, but it seems possible the person tweeting it didn't know this at the time.

However someone at Google let that tweet go out with no intention of fulfilling that promise, that most definitely does constitute lying.

There's no doubt that cloud gaming services are convenient, but you give up a lot for that. If you don't really care about having access pulled out from under you, or your games being censored/changed, or your personal data being collected and used against you than it's probably worth it, but for gamers and gaming as a whole it's a problem.

You don't even need a bulky PC. You can get a gaming laptop if your worried about space/mobility. No doubt the video cards are expensive though.
