> If there was a protocol for cab hailing, and anyone could roll it out for someone to connect to their network (like xmpp), and anyone could offer to become a driver or play another role like customer support, they earn their local currency and are a part of their local economy.

I think this overlooks the methods Uber used to build the market for app based cab hailing. Things that aren't core to running a cab hailing business (or protocol) but were important to getting a network started. Two things in particular - cash incentives for both drivers and passengers, and ignoring existing regulations.

In the early days Uber gave free cell phones to many drivers, offered tons of cash bonuses to them as well, and offered tons of discounts to passengers. They aggressively recruited drivers from existing car services, offering the owners increased utilization rates of their cars.

It also just walked into markets and setup shop in flagrant disregard for the rules. Importantly, it then aggressively encouraged users to protest when cities tried to crack down on it.

Both of these would have been difficult for a protocol without Uber's level of funding to accomplish. Maybe a protocol could be launched now that the model has become normalized, but it would still be difficult to grow a network from scratch without funding. Decentralization and capital investment are tough partners. Hence most "decentralized" businesses actually being pretty centralized.

Hey, bug eating can be fun from a well-being perspective too. Some utilitarians will make you eat bugs of it meant their favourite numbers (yes, your well-being is a number) would go in the right direction. But it probably isn't, maybe a vegan diet is what the utilitarians recommend.
Check the sales figures. The Pixel line is a very minor player, especially worldwide. The biggest vendors are Samsung, Xiami, Oppo, Vivo and Huawei. All have their own browsers. The Pixel line has 2% market share in NA and less worldwide.

Chrome dominates because it's better. People install it.
> dynamic first party isolation

Firefox 77. It doesn't do the same thing as Temporary Containers + Containerise. DFPI isolates things based on the URL bar, prohibiting third-party storage. You can't have a whole group of sites use the same "container". So you can't get something like facebook.com + instagram.com +both using the same container (sharing cookies). AFAICT it's sort of like if you only had Temporary Containers, not permanent ones + temporary ones.
Id be embarrassed to have a nobel prize in economics at this point.
> I have the T-Mobile 5G gateway

What, if any, are the caps on that service?

A quick look at the T-Mobile site doesn't say one way or the other.
No. Although there is a 1.0 version APK floating around and that's what I use. It's pretty great.
The tenured boomer view of indifferent younger colleagues is just survivorship bias (or ageist hiring practices or both). Because the company is only hiring younger people each of the boomers that still work at the company remember the good old days. What appears to be a generational shift in work ethic in reality is just people that survived at the company for multiple decades telling tales about their work experience (and it's easy to say, or think, that you worked long hours when there is no one around to correct you.)

Point being, if the company hires boomers as new employees they will likely find that the indifference spans generations, and what does that tell you about the management and long term viability of the organization?
>The random round trip time and lack of ipv4 from mobile telcos means if you want to participate in the internet as a peer rather than just a consumer you need a physical transmission line.

I run a weather station on T-Mobile. Yes it's ipv6-only inbound but a Cloudflare free plan is enough to provide legacy (ipv4) access to the station. While I agree that running a media server wouldn't be possible from this location, I disagree that it wouldn't work closer to a tower. Upload speeds there are over double what I can buy on Comcast business's most expensive plan.
It’d recommend the cheaper M1 air with 16 GB. I have one and it’s still the fastest machine in the house in terms of responsiveness.
The thing is, "not your keys, not your coins" is not just true technically, but true legally. If Coinbase were to become insolvent and decide to use your coins to repay their creditors, you might say, "Hey, you can't do that, that's my money!", and they would-- correctly-- respond, "No, it isn't. Read that user agreement again." They really are not your coins: Coinbase is extending you a temporary permission to access them which they can revoke at any time (and would, if they were in trouble).

By contrast, as another commenter alluded to, fiat banking has an extensive system of laws and precedents that decides what happens in cases like this, which crypto lacks.
I suppose it isn't exactly finance 101, but one of the more fundamental rules of markets is that if you discover an opportunity for arbitrage, you never tell anyone and you exploit it as fast and hard as possible, because once it's publicly discovered, it will quickly be exploited until it's gone.

Therefore, no one is going to pitch a legit arbitrage opportunity to you.
Effective Altruism of the AI streak in a POSIWID sense appears to have the purpose of creating a shit ton of blog posts and no other discernable outcome.

The other variant of the GiveWell.org kind which is QALY focused appears to have worked on the QALY metric. Not everyone believes in QALY-based utilitarianism, so they're predictably unhappy, but that's it.
Bingo. I forgot to mention my company has two Chrome extensions, which we are now in the throes of updating. That definitely soured my mood, and increased my interest in getting off the Chromium train (even though I understand Brave plans to continue supporting V2 extensions indefinitely).
Did you investigate the code?

This doesn't seem like it can be a real thing.
Is EA predicated on moral realism? That seems like a straw man. I don't see any contradiction between abandoning realism (i.e. admitting that there is no objective way to measure goodness or other moral qualities) and EA.

We probably just define EA differently. When I'm elected dictator, it'll be illegal to write an essay like this without supplying your working definition of the thing you're against.
The interesting thing about astrology is that there probably ARE personality differences between, say, a cohort who were the youngest at school versus the oldest, or who just made the cutoff point for a sports team for the year versus those who were almost a year older. Those small differences can become magnified (e.g. Malcolm Gladwell's essay on why most Hockey players were born in December - they are older, so they look like they are more competent, so they get more training, so they become more competent).

Even things like the amount of exposure to sunlight in early years may influence personality. Would be an interesting thing to look at, skipping all the woo stuff about planetary alignment etc.
This site would not be the same without a daily dose of uninformed commentary on economics! In this case from a guy who (with a straight face?!?) says “…as The Singularity approaches” ! Wow.

Productivity measurement is hard. The author points to many of the difficulties. We (economists) have been aware of many of these difficulties since the 1930’s or earlier.

No one in this literature thinks “hedonic adjustments get it exactly right!” to take just one example. Instead they think more along the lines of: this is the best solution we can come up with to this very hard problem.

For an informed, recent survey of the difficulties and the importance of getting these questions right, try Syversen and De Loecker’s survey “an industrial organization perspective on productivity” from the recent Handbook of Industrial Organization, available for free via the NBER working paper series.

Why might you care? Here is one fact from that survey: within a narrowly defined industry category, the difference in measured output from the 5th to the 95th percentiles of the productivity distribution can be a factor of 2! To emphasize: two firms with the same measured inputs, but one produces twice as much output than the other. This is visible across many industry categories. It’s a fascinating problem and well worthy of study.

The original author should probably also read “the sad truth about happiness scales” from the Journal of Political Economy in 2019. Such scales are unidentified in quite a fundamental way and the results they give are essentially meaningless.
"Bijection" -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bijection

Monday was looking boring. I'm excited now about the new adventure I've set for myself to somehow inject this (new for me) term into a discussion appropriately.
Can a new proposition override (or cancel out) an older one? Are they similar to Constitutional amendments (such as 21's canceling out 18'th) or are California props more sticky?
I think that train left the station when they plugged a 50,000-volt EMI generator into a USB jack. :)
I don't understand that reading of it.

> Its spherical walls were built to deflect 150-mph winds that would level most conventionally designed homes.

Unless they got the numbers wrong, the writer is simply being imprecise, probably treating "gale" and "hurricane" as synonyms. Good thing they didn't use "zephyr" too.

Meanwhile, the real point of it is not that the homes' engineering failed, but rather that withstanding 150-mph isn't enough. Now you need to build for at least 200.
What algorithm are you using? I've been tempted to write a tuner using autocorrelation, because in my experience it picks up pitch wonderfully.

The government takes a dim view on WARN act avoidance so if that is what is in fact being done it will come back to haunt Meta... It may even spur unionization among engineers. IBM PIP'd a bunch of older folks and that ended up in them settling a major lawsuit to avoid the airing of their dirty laundry.
I disagree here. I think this change is necessary for society to evolve. Society is not a static thing and just because things have been done a certain way, doesn't mean it is right. My suspicion is we are doing many things wrong, electricity hasn't even been invented for much more than 100 years, yet we organize ourselves in a similar way as we have been for millennia. If we do need to change, then what? Well-being may be a great measure, in fact I think it may be the only measure. There are many concerns like gaming, lying, or corruption. But I think with the challenges can be minimized; why? Well induction, if we had this current economic system with all it's faults work, then why can't well-being be another metric? Moreover, I think this is exactly the step we need to make because part of the reason this earth is dying is because humans have prioritized materialistic exploitation. We need to move on from those notions, and if well-being is the new metric, then that sounds great to me.
> decentralization does not work in human society

The American payment system is decentralised. It’s just lazily evaluated, e.g. when a transaction occurs or audit is done. Crypto’s pitch is that it’s centralised on an eagerly-evaluated blockchain. Every account’s state is known by all, all the time, full stop.
>Is raping and torturing civilians against the laws of war?

It is, which is why Lyudmila Denisova made up accusations in order to get more weapons for Ukraine. She made the mistake of getting caught doing it and so was fired. A lot of people assume that this was an isolated incident. I dont.

There is a lack of independent observers of war crimes (there are satellite photos of dead bodies, but that in itself doesnt prove war crimes were committed) as well as powerful incentives for Ukraine to lie about this on an industrial scale - Ukrainian military supply lines are utterly dependent on western sympathy not drying up.
The astronomical yield didn’t tip you off?? The yield they were paying implied excessive risk taking.

I think the trouble is availability.

All high-bandwidth wireless technologies are limited to line of site or near line of site. In the U.S. from the Southern Tier of NY down to Georgia and Alabama many people live in a landscape which is basically a plateau which is dissected by valleys.

There are no "commanding heights" in these areas, rather a tower on a ridge between two valleys may be able to see into those valleys and maybe the next two over.

Sometimes the top of the ridge is roadless so putting in wireless infrastructure is a matter of building a new road, a new power line, running fiber optic along the power line, etc. It boggles the mind to think that this can possibly cost less than running fiber along existing roads and power lines (either for FTTH or FTTN) but that's what the anti-fiber lobby wants people to believe.

If you're in some place where 5G is available it is probably a relatively high-density place that already has cable, in which case 5G internet service is usually trying to undercut cable on price. If you're in a place where WISP is a substantial option you're either in an unusually favorable urban location (the webpass model) which is vulnerable to millimeter-wave 5G or in a a rural location where the WISP is already a desperate measure and 5G won't be profitable.

A partial counter is that AT&T and T-Mobile have added a lot of low band spectrum in recent years that have some potential in Appalachian environments and served it with either 4G or 5G radios but the spectrum does not add up to a lot of bandwidth, particularly if radio conditions are unfavorable.
> The critical flaw of the essay is that the only evidence to back this point up is (1) "look, a bunch of people donated to the NY opera!" and (2) "look what some effective altruist said; he must represent all altruists"

The book 'The Elephant in the Brain' by Robin Hanson and Kevin Simler describes this position and has references to a lot of research.
When was the last time you needed to read assembly code to debug a kernel-level issue in FOSS software? There's a lot of software you can use to profile the entire kernel and userspace[0], or explore the stack trace[1] of your software. If you're not using those and instead debugging your software by counting SIMD calls in the Ghidra editor, you're wasting an unconscionable amount of time.

People read through assembly to fix compiler issues, not to rationalize what the kernel is doing. You're right that this skill is still required for "perfect" optimization, but it's not really relevant when comparing kernels.

Threaded conversations are really good because you can have branching discussions that don't interfere with each other.

But the only forum I know of that realised how to properly do it is this old Russian software forum [1] You need a mail client-like interface so that you can see your place in the discussion.

Triple quoting someone and trying to read the actual thread in a flat forum sucked then and sucks now.

That is good info!

The very latest Intel "client" parts have UMWAIT, which allows a thread to sleep until the TSC reaches a given value, or monitored range of addresses is stored. It's the best of both worlds: a thread can arm the monitor using the address of the lock, and sleep for a defined time. If the lock is released the thread will wake immediately. If not, the thread will wake at a predictable time. This feature isn't widespread and very few libraries on github use it.
Indeed, and the Keyboard Setup Assistant was never meant to be a security measure, either.

What We Learned from the Gitlab Remote Playbook 2022
TL;DR

DevOps giant GitLab are one of the leading fully remote tech companies, and have produced a ‘Remote Playbook’ to guide companies looking to adopt remote working, or refresh their current approach.
Full of incisive and practical tips for all levels of remote work models, the playbook is a bible on how to run a remote team successfully, efficiently, and mindfully.
Sections include a summary of different remote models, the importance of setting up a Head of Remote role, along with guides on management, culture and communication within a remote environment.
The lack of technical details was a good one. The pop ups was the solution the industry chose.

They could have gone with the do not track header, but they didn't although they still could and it would be okay within the concept of the law which just requires consent for tracking.

Yes, this. There are areas where 4g isn't great, let alone 5g.
Not really but if I hadn't done my two decades of living and working in the middle of a large metro, I might feel like I missed out on something, even if I didn't know what that something was. Remote work wasn't really a thing when I became working age but if it had been and I'd stayed in the small town all my life, I'm not sure I would be happy like I am now living in an even smaller town than the one I grew up in. Once I'm done with work for the day, I like having options that mostly have nothing to do with work. Living next to a public wilderness I can walk into everyday after work if I wish is far more valuable to me than any tech meetup.
I think it's safe to assume that Safari is also far from using a single undocumented API call.
It appears to be entirely at T-Mobile's discretion; they reserve the typical mobile carrier rights to shape any traffic they find unfavorable. I expect you will see the usual mobile industry reductions in throughput once you pass an arbitrary line each month. While I love the theoretical performance, until that performance is documented and guaranteed I am out.

"You can use your Home Internet for all the homework, streaming, and video conferencing you need! But to ensure that our network is available for all customers, there are some restrictions on activities that can damage or disproportionately congest the network. For example, Home Internet is not intended for unattended use, automatic data feeds, automated machine-to-machine connections, or uses that automatically consume unreasonable amounts of available network capacity."

I think its fair to assume my definition and T-Mobile's definition of "unreasonable" will not be in alignment.

Interesting question. A company might try to skirt the law that way but I'm guessing a judge would squash it. So it would probably the main office you report out of, the HQ or the entire "remote" WFH cohort.

In a leadership role it is very possible to know what's going on, observe, wait, and if it isn't getting to where you want it in the time you need it by, then you interviene.

Even if tuning by ear, when you play with a band or especially are recording, it would be very silly to trust your ear alone because recording hours of takes in an expensive recording studio with many other people's time in a slightly out of tune key would be very disrespectful and wasteful.

Most musicians can tune "relatively" okay, but do not have the ability to tune "absolutely" (perfect pitch).

Here is an example of perfect/absolute pitch that very few musicians have. This is the skill one would need to be able to not use a tuner at all > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dw3-k9 (Jimmy Kimmel Puts Charlie Puth’s Perfect Pitch to the Test).

I'm pretty sure there was some antitrust investigation over Microsoft doing the same thing: giving their own software an unfair advantage on their operating system due to the insights the Office team could gain from the kernel team.

Microsoft made a convincing argument that the relevant teams never talked to each other, and the Office developers just reverse-engineered undocumented Windows APIs, the same any other developer would have had to.
