For a singular job, yes this is true. Raising wages will convince workers to migrate from one job to another. The company that lost the employee can then also raise wages to lure employees back, taking them from other companies. And those companies can try to raise wages, and so on. This cycle still leaves vacancies.

At the level of the entire economy, raising wages cannot materialize more workers for every job opening.

A couple centuries back, the majority of the labor force was working agriculture jobs. Now that number is a tiny fraction of the workforce due to automation by machines. If we didn’t have automation, we would absolutely have a shortage of agriculture workers relative to all of the modern job openings. The same thing is happening today with the jobs being automated away as workers move to higher paid jobs.

This isn’t new or surprising. It’s been going on for centuries.
OVH has their Kimsufi range which gives you low-power dedicated with unmetered bandwidth and the basic ones go under 10 bucks a month. It's 100Mbps, but unlimited traffic, and a real low-power CPU is most likely still better than cloud "vCPUs".
What Hegel might have called the cunning of reason at work.

Porn has had and is having an extremely destructive and deranging effect on people, especially the young and especially men, especially given its ubiquity and accessibility today on the internet. It corrupts their ability and motivation to seek out and develop healthy relationships with others. I'm sure it plays some role in the demographic crisis. Whereas Gen X and even Gen Y (Millennials) were first exposed to pornography in very limited ways (the odd Playboy magazine), Gen Z has been practically raised on porn having been exposed to indefinite amounts of it on their smartphones.

I welcome the withering of "porn culture" and the crippling of this depraved industry of exploitation and corruption. It destroys individuals and rots societies.

I've never had to worry about messing with switches/cabling/UPSes with my Hetzner or OVH servers.

I'm not sure why people always believe that bare-metal == self-managed colo. That's not the case and colo only really makes sense for very large companies who can actually save by buying & managing their own hardware or have specific requirements that dedicated server providers don't offer.

Log growth can be addressed by using a managed service (including AWS Cloudwatch if you really wanted to, but you'd have to be a masochist). Frankly, you'd have the same issue if you were on EC2.
Yes, but whether it will continue to do so, once again, has little if nothing to do with the tech stack.

I think you’re getting at the point about how tech debt can bog down product development and the progress of a business, and I fully agree that it should be avoided, but tech debt avoidance is hardly related to the tech stack or programming style as much as it is to architectural decisions. And, when you’re looking at longer shelf life for your code, then the article becomes justified in making your codebases as boring as possible because thn you’d like to employ only the patterns that have truly stood the test of time, instead of polluting your code with novel approaches.

how does that work for twitter ?

and then , i remember back in the days of TV there was soft porn or adult talk shows on TV late at night. They did have ads, and not the cheap kind (cigarettes, alcohol etc). TV was somewhat self-correcting, because kids are usually asleep past midnight so the ads matched content . On the internet it's nigh impossible to keep kids outside of content, so maybe that's a reason why adult content is unfundable and why the default for censorship is to make everything kid-safe. But maybe there is a way to make that work, i dont know
Anonymity also lowers the barrier to contrarian attitudes that go against the zeitgeist. There are no downvotes or upvotes and if someone insults you what they're insulting is a mask you put up. 4chan posters are insulated from identity attacks.

So if most people want to be sheep they can and will, but it isn't an inherent property of the medium.
...okay ? But how the bricks help ?

Like, there is some merit in say heating up the "heat battery" at peak solar power (or just when grid energy is cheapest) then using that to heat directly but... you're still doing it at 100% efficiency while heat pump does that at 200-300% using nothing but ambient temperature to get that efficiency.

I guess you could use it as a hybrid solution with heat pump for very cold climates that would normally disqualify heat pumps (heat the brick during the day, use heat pump to get the heat back) but even that is kinda meh.
> most popular smartphone in the world

While this is a technically correct statement, it is also hiding the truth. Android makes up 70% of the smartphone market still, but the phones are made by different companies (hence why the iphone is the post popular smartphone, just not the most popular OS). So 70% of phones can still sideload.

The point was that there’s no consistent characterization that people have in mind for “new Puritans,” which makes it especially pointless to label an entire generation that way.

Just a small case in point: Gen Z is the most openly queer/non-traditional generation in US history. There are entire segments of our population that consider that nature to be sexually deviant and want to control it with social restrictions. So why are Gen Z the “puritans”?
Stories of children failing state tests, because they provided an "incorrect interpretation" of a literary work, where the author after the fact states that it was actually a good interpretation, are plentiful. Education system really does punish interpreting things differently than prescribed.

It's just the resistive heating tho. Sure, it might allow you to buy the electricity to produce heat at lower rate but it fundamentally does not change the amount of energy you need to consume (well, increases it for losses).
It appears that your source is including Chernobyl and Fukushima, while my original post was specifically about the United States nuclear power industry.

Even giving you the benefit of the doubt there, it's clear that nuclear is extremely safe. Plus it has the added benefit of, actually, you know, working (and by "working" I mean "producing energy in quantities sufficient to run a modern industrial society", not "works in someone's pipe dream").

Please keep in mind that I'm talking about FSD Beta, not the current production software, which is dozens of versions behind.

Are you on Beta 10.69.2.3?

If I had to articulate my reasons:

* Judging by the videos available online, my perception is that many situations that were impossible for Tesla FSD Beta a year ago have become uneventful in recent weeks. Take a look at Chuck Cook's videos for example (I like the fact that he always highlights the failures).

* Judging again by the videos available online, my perception is that Tesla FSD Beta has encountered and had to deal with more crazy edge cases than any other system. A possible explanation for this is that for a long time Tesla FSD Beta hasn't been geofenced or restricted only to certain types of roads, like highways. You can test it anywhere in North America.

* Tesla FSD Beta currently has 160,000 individuals testing it without road restrictions. As far as I know, no other system has been exposed to similar open-ended large-scale testing.

* Occupancy networks look like a real breakthrough to me -- DNNs that predict whether each voxel in a 3D model is occupied by an object, using only video data as an input. I understood the high-level explanation of these DNNs on AI Day 2. I haven't seen anything like it from anyone else.

* Tesla's DOJO also looks like a breakthrough to me. I understood the high-level explanation of it on AI Day 2. IIRC, DOJO cabinets are 6x faster at training existing neural networks than Nvidia rigs, at 6x lower cost, so call it ~36x more efficient.

That’s what I mean about not seeing this as about “Muslims versus non-Muslims.” What’s at issue in this specific context is not theology. Muslim Americans are sensitive to criticism of the prophet, but in the same way America Christians would be at blasphemy. It’s breach of an American social norm that requires being respectful of religion, not Islamic theology.

Identity politics in this context involves something different. Chehab is using her Muslim identity to jockey for position in white-dominated spaces and gain access to platforms controlled by white people.

And just using a heat pump will have vastly lower total energy usage.

It could be interesting in niches like say have some thermal storage (that say gets recharged at peak solar) for heating water on demand instead of draining battery for that, but that's a lot of extra complexity to save on some more batteries
What's the other original meaning? Googling I find no meanings except the programming language, although it was originally used by telecom.

we don't have simplicity because people are inept. I would trust you to write a small CRUD php database without any security issues, however, the next goon that comes along and jams in a bunch of $id = $GET[id]; insert into where $is; and you have a major security issue

Frameworks exist so you don't roll your own stupidity into a bigger problem.
I grew up in the countryside and the article's conclusion of "let your kids eat some dirt" has always been rather anecdotally obvious to me; I tromped through a lot of mud and unwisely put a lot of weird things in my mouth and I seem to have a much more robust immune system than my peers who didn't.

That said, "growing up in the countryside" isn't itself necessary. You just need to grow up with some decent nature within walking distance. Yes, many urban environments have unwisely paved over all their green spaces with parking lots and high rises. But that's not a necessary feature of a city; look for cities that value green spaces, e.g. Pittsburgh's Frick Park/Schenley Park/Hazelwood Greenway triangle provides ample opportunity for getting lost in unmanicured woods.

Part of what gets my goat is the idea that humans only evolved to live in bucolic, pastoral locales. Humans have been banding together in cities for 6,000 years now; we have plenty of adaptations for urban living (such as, ironically, disease resistance; the notion that city living is cleaner than country living is a modern phenomenon).
Funnily enough your comment describes SO just the same. How many people complaining about SO here have really just asked poor questions, hadn't explained what they tried, didn't do enough research first to ask a good question, etc.

Probably worth noting that two of the most prominent advertisers on Tumblr even today are Adam and Eve (sex toys) and Manscaping (genital grooming). Also I still see plenty of what I'd consider porn via people abusing tags, though admittedly it's only at about the Penthouse/Hustler level. So some advertisers at least know that porn still exists on Tumblr, and actively try to tap that market. It must work, too, even though most Tumblrites are somewhere between eye-rolling and actively making them the butt of jokes.
Compared to general self-driving, it's relatively simple to make self-driving taxis work in just a couple of cities (preferably ones with minimum adversarial weather, too) - you just test the code against that particular dataset until it performes reasonably well, manually fixing the edge cases along the way if need be. It's still a monumental, multi-billion dollar project, but I would be surprised if it wasn't achievable.

Queueing theory is an interesting discipline because the benefits of being a queue-theory expert are extremely subtle. There are some pressures that make it hard to show off:

- There aren't really any flashy results (the whole thing could be sold as restatements of "if the average processing rate is similar to the arrival rate, any variance in arrivals will lead to long queues".

- As a corollary, most queues encountered in practice can also be dealt with using very simple techniques or making the queue negligible. Neither of which require the study of queue theory.

- The quick recommendations are really boring (if you want the queue to get shorter, you need to process faster or add more servers).

But studying queue theory handy nonetheless because it turns out that queues are, in practical systems, about as common as list data structures or associative maps in programming. They are everywhere. Every time a stream meets a buffer, in fact. Being able to see a situation and reducing a lot of the noise to (M/M/n, lambda = 0.2, mu = 0.4) can free up a lot of thinking horsepower for more interesting problems. Then there is no need to try to reason about queue lengths vs serving times vs variance vs how those change with the addition of servers. An expert understands that a lot of results flow from a few simple variables, and doesn't have to remember the details because they are just symptoms of a few key observations.

So, in a sense, the reward for knowing a lot of queue theory is not having to think very much about queues.

Unmoderated (or minimally moderated) forums inevitably stabilize to the lowest common denominator participants.

Sites like 4Chan end up with a uniform tone because trolling, immaturity, and vulgarity will cause anyone with higher standards to quickly self-select away from the site. The content trends toward a sort of stability around content that repels people who don’t want to see it. Bad behavior is essentially rewarded by reinforcing the echo chamber.

Similar patterns occur on alternative sites created to escape moderation on popular platforms: Voat was created to escape perceived unfair moderation on Reddit, but quickly became an echo chamber of all the terrible content that Reddit wouldn’t tolerate. A similar story is playing out with the new TheMotte website that left Reddit, which is systematically collecting all of the people with terrible, racist opinions who weren’t welcome on the Reddit equivalent.
I think most readers, including myself, empathize with you and understand the frustration and absurdity. But you are also telling just one side of the story (yours) and I imagine that v.2.0 specs had certain requirements and features, possibly required by legislation, that needed to be followed and implemented. When you say, dismissively, There are rules, you see? They have to be followed! that's when I, and likely others, start to wonder if you are really providing the full story, or if you actually even understand the differences between your simple app and the updated version.
