Anymore? In 1995 I worked full time at Netscape without a college degree and had a good career in the valley. I eventually went to UIUC in CS as an late student. It allowed me to get jobs I couldn’t, but not in the software area - I didn’t know advanced math, and I learned it at school, and worked at the intersection. There has been opportunities without degrees throughout my 30 years, but there are some opportunities that definitely need them.
Quite a provocative take you have here, given that the most well-documented scandal of the 2016 election was astroturfing by Russian troll farms in collusion with the GOP.
> Respectfully, I would claim it's short-sighted to believe that the individual consumer has any real say in what they want, need or get with respect to offerings by trillion-dollar international conglomerates.

Whole heartedly agreed. If I, as a consumer, had my say then my flagship phone would still have a headphone jack, an SD card slot, and a replaceable battery. Yet here we are.
Picked up a NUC and moving my apps there (several BE only things like bots with FE served off GH Pages and one small app with some server processing that gets like 600 unique visitors a month). They were all served off the Heroku domain anyway so I'll just move them to DynDNS. Will take several years to make it worth not just paying Heroku but at least I won't have to play this game again when Render or Fly.io end up having to restrict their free tiers as well.
Whatever the reason is, it's not for the environment.
I liked your commentary, it was very insightful. It's important to understand what you are willing to do, as opposed to merely what you like to do.

My wife is a horse trainer and also runs a horse rescue operation. Her average day involves 2-6 hours in the saddle. Now, many horse lovers think that it sounds like so much fun. Like video game testing ("oh, you get to play games all day, that must be great"). But the reality is that it's hard physical work day after day after day correcting the behavior of a powerful animal that is multiples of your bodyweight and doing it under conditions where you could be severely injured.

Back to goats: I think you'll find that most small animal producers are doing it as a side income from something they enjoy. I have a neighbor who has a few dozen goats, but they are also running a commercial trucking company.

> You buy a bunch of iTunes movies in Canada, then move to the USA, and you no longer have the right to watch them anymore due to licensing.

In the EU we have an interesting law regarding that, if you subscribe to Netflix in Germany and then travel to another EU country you'll still get the same catalog as in your home country.

If you have a US account and travel to the EU you'll get access to the catalog of the country you are in.

Then I thought it'd be fun to provide this as a service for others.

You simply enter your design wish as a text and via stable diffusion a design is generated for you and you can see how it looks on a t-shirt.

I learned by reading through a book, then working through problems on https://4clojure.oxal.org/. If you've got JS experience it won't take too much effort to pick up. Don't get too carried away with forming the perfect tail recursive pure functional monad or whatever. Get into just doing what you're trying to do quickly, then after you're competent, read other people's code to correct your style.
One thing I'm curious about is what % of users upload 4K content vs what % of users consume 4K content. I imagine that it is not an insignificant amount of people.

Either way, with this and the unskippable ad fiasco over the past weeks, YouTube appears to really be milking this cash cow.

> We build 8 core CPUs and blow e-fuses in the factory to make them 4 cores.

Not "deliberately". We build 8-core CPUs, discover four of them are a bit sub-spec, and blow e-fuses to disable those and sell it as 4-core. It's possible that those four disabled cores would be just fine, but I'm not selling you a chip that gets its sums wrong sometimes.

I guess people complained about how chip manufacturers sold CPUs rated at 25MHz that could be overclocked to 33MHz, but they too were not guaranteed to meet spec even if they worked.

Not entirely true. It came with a little female-female lightning adapter so you could charge it with whatever other lightning cable you have. The pencil end of the adapter is deeper than the other end, I think so you can't plug a lightning cable into each end.

This is so hilariously wrong. It's in Apple's best interest to do whatever makes them the most money. Sometimes that happens to coincide with what customers want, but it often doesn't, _especially_ in a market with a duopoly with an incredibly high affinity for lock-in.

> How can good content be monetized in a way that allows it to remain independent and not succumb to warping its content to feed that monetization? How can it be audience driven instead? Is such a thing even possible? Right now good monetization strategies beget bad content. There's got to be a better way than cobbling together five platforms under a Patreon account, giving all of them 10-50% along the way.

I wish there was a frictionless as possible way to pay content creators per consumption of their content. For example content creators could set a price in a podcast app per episode or maybe a bulk deal if I bought a "season". Don't make me think too much about paying and I'll gladly consume.

I am not a huge fan of signing up for a Pateron and setting up how to ingest the content. I don't mind paying to read an article but I don't want a huge yearly subscription. Give me the chance to pay you right then and there and my poor impulse control will do the rest.
The last few companies I've worked for had zero testers or QA analysts. Testing was a side job for developers and product folks.
Imagine this happened a few years ago, and the EU had instead demanded micro-USB. Then we would still be flipping plugs twice, and I wouldn't be able to use my laptop charger to charge my phone. It's not clear to me that USB-C is good enough to be the "final" connector, especially with the mess around USB versions, Thunderbolt, Displayport, etc. Unlike e.g. power sockets, where I am pretty confident that the current design can last another 15 years. (But which is not standard across EU countries!)

In UO standing in fire walls was a method people used to skill up. UO was skill based, not level based. And you gained skill points by doing those actions. A good way to have a group build up spell resistance was to cast fire field, everyone stands in the fire, and have someone cast heals. Casting the field and the heals also improved casting abilities
> It's Apples best interest to make technology that the consumers want so that they can sell more units of that.

And in the absence of a competitive advantage, you create a captive market. Apple was smart in quietly creating a captive market as they built out their ecosystem because they saw this eventuality. One of the ways they created it was by making the ecosystem both expensive to enter and leave. You're heavily invested in proprietary hardware and all of your digital assets are locked to the ecosystem and cannot be utilized outside it.

The Lightning port was innovative at the time it was introduced but it has been eclipsed in most ways by USB-C. Now it's just a DRM'd lock-in mechanism.

My partner recently switched to an iPhone. I bought a USB-C Charger, and some *certified* Lightning to USB-A cables in various lengths from various manufacturers to enabled the device to be charged all over the home and in the cars. Suddenly after 3 months the iPhone refuses to charge from any of the cables or using the USB-C cable that came with the phone plugged into the USB-C Charger. The cables work however when I use an old iPhone 6 or if I plug the new iPhone into a computer using one of the cables. No errors, no warnings, just nothing; the iPhone just refuses to charge from them.

Apple says the DRM exists to protect users from dodgy or counterfeit cables that might pose a risk to the users. Unsurprisingly [this official Apple cable](https://i.imgur.com/icsPxJx.jpg) will charge the iPhone just fine at full speed.

I for one welcome this regulation though I'm sure Apple will find a way to nerf it.
My understanding is it was a mix of things. Mao had a barefoot doctor program which emphasized practical learning and getting medical practitioners to rural areas. These practitioners had some valuable knowledge for things like hygiene, but also didn't have access to western drugs so emphasized herbs and other remedies. This was combined with Mao's desire to differentiate China from the USSR and emphasize Chinese cultural unity.
Yeah, that seems wildly broken. I'm quite certain Lyft has variable pricing here and it seems to function exactly the same as surge pricing (I was watching prices from both apps roller coaster when trying to leave a festival a few weeks ago). Maybe that's something Lyft has done differently between regions.
But there's a disproportionate power wielded by the "cancellers" that isn't really dependent on the public's willingness to buy the books. Note that the cancellers never go on a big publicity campaign to get people to stop buying a certain book - they target the gatekeepers in the system, like the publishers, who are staffed by Oberlin and Wesleyan alumnae who don't want to be ostracized as "bigots" at their college reunion. With the founder gone, Amazon is also a suitable target because the management of Amazon got their jobs through currying favor with their seniors rather than the approval of customers like Bezos did.
Just an addendum for anyone who clicks the video: the actual content starts around 2:40.
To me this is a really good proposal. USB is already the winner here. Apple is making life harder for consumers. To me the real short-sidedness of this is that wired charging might be completely irrelevant by 2024!

>But in long sight it's a hinderence to progress by enforcing a technology on the market instead of letting the free market decide the technology.

No, it's not in any way a hindrance to the market, merely one player who desires rent seeking. What it is doing is enforcing standards on manufacturers instead of the other way around.
I haven't seen it happen with novels (yet), but I was a little outraged to buy a weekly planner that featured mindfulness exercises and such to focus on each week…and find it laden with advertisements for the author's website, companion videos, etc.

I don't like how the 'manifesto' presents SQLite's code of ethics as nefarious:

We take our code of conduct seriously, and unlike SQLite, we do not substitute it with an unclear alternative. We strive to foster a community that values diversity, equity, and inclusion. We encourage others to speak up if they feel uncomfortable.

It seems in bad faith to imply that SQLite is some sort of toxic, anti-diversity space. It's not. it's just a closed-to-contributions open source project. Richard is pretty friendly guy and I'm not certain if efforts have been made to reach out to him here.

You'll need to acquire a /24 (that'll cost somewhere around $15,000), and then sign a deal with an upstream network provider who will accept BGP announcements. The actual networking part of it isn't that hard. To make the /24 worth it, you'll want a bunch of different regions, so you'll be paying for hosting in each.

> I am an iPhone user, but having an iPhone is not ubiquitous here, almost all of my friends/special other, use an Android phone with USB-C.

yes, this is an interesting statement. and it's true.

basically in the countries that form the European Union Android has a higher market share than iOS. in some big countries like Germany, Spain, France and Italy Android has between 60% to 70% of the market.

but what's more interesting is this:
in the UK, Canada, Australia and the US the iPhone has more market share (and in NZ it's very close).

anecdotally, in the UK pretty much everyone in big cities have iPhones. i very rarely see an Android device.

i do wonder why. it could have to do with cheaper prices for Android and a general lower penetration of technology in those countries, but i think this seems too facile.
> are there doors that an ADHD diagnosis opens that have a better ROI than, say, graymarket modafinil?

I suppose it depends where you live.

Here is what I can think of off the top of my head:

1. Potential legal protections and academic/workplace accommodations if necessary (US has ADA as an example).

2. Access to potentially more medications (modafinil is not commonly prescribed in the US for ADHD -- even off label)

3. Perhaps less trouble than having to use the Graymarket? Less risk of getting caught? I'm kind of grasping for straws at this moment.

If what you have works, then I guess keep going? Just please be careful. Unregulated areas of markets, healthcare, etc. make me nervous, personally.

Serverless "pay for usage" is different than the fixed-size dedicated cluster pricing model, and can be quite a bit cheaper, especially with spiky query traffic. It should also be more reliable, since you don't have to predict and provision capacity for your peak usage ahead of time.

Not really, proportionally it seems about the same to me. Or did as of last year when I stopped playing MMOs again.
> Can't speak for the person you are commenting to. But I live in the US and there are many industries that are not regulated for the benefit of the consumer. Telecom being a big one.

That's a poor example, telecoms are heavily regulated for the consumer. That's the reason why different operators are able to place consumer's calls to other operators - that is regulated.
Once you find the answer, you realize there was never any use to any of it.
"IEEE754" is ubiquitous because it was the first non-platform-specific solution to a fundamentally hard engineering problem (how to approximate the entire real number line with a finite number of bits), and because it is supported in hardware (on the CPU itself), so that the representation of the number fits within the same registers as used for pointers, integers, and everything else, which makes it fast.

If you want base-10 encoding of non-integer values, and base-10 arithmetic on them, you're probably going to need a software library like [1], which implements the decimal math that is also in IEEE754, just not part of common hardware. It also may be that you actually want infinite-precision arithmetic, which definitely requires a library, because the representation of a number becomes its own dynamic data structure (like with a string).

Can you say more about what exactly is the "brokenness" that you're running up against?
