I mean, I think this is just the start. If I am able to create entire environments all cloud based, I can then just use an ipad when I'm travelling. Ok, not ideal for everything, but this is a use case that I've been waiting for a while and it's just not quite there yet. Eventually I can see there's people that will get to employable levels of coding proficiency without understanding the underlying complexities of environments, and the hardware which is running your code. This is problematic in some sense, but an incredible abstraction which can increase productivity in the other hand. Overall, I see this as an amazing positive.

Its impact is vastly greater than trade along inland waterways. It regulates “coastwise transport” which, under various interpretations, means from one port in the US to another to even a single rock placed on the seabed by a ship.

With respect to ballast water, any vessel discharging cargo or entering US ports has to abide by USCG and other regulations about treatment etc, regardless of whether or not it’s a JA-compliant vessel or not

What is the reason for proxying through Cloudflare? Are there any bandwidth limits or performance issues when directly serving those files from GitHub?

On the contrary, I think you've fully misinterpreted what's been said.
Simple answer is just "congestion pricing". You want fast charging at peak hours, pay double. If not, set some price optimization. And set it to prioritize the first 30% of charge to never be stranded but always wait for cheaper power to fill to the top. If you've got a fishing trip, plan ahead or pay extra. That's just free markets.
Perverse is a bit strong :-) To be understood as killing the 'billing problem'...
Its a programmable calculator on steroids.

You create "one liner" programs (lambdas) that do mathematical operations like you would with a programmable calculator, including saving to memory and recalling from memory. You can then chain together the various "one liner" programs (composability) to make a complex program that performs the calculation that you need.
> outside of screwing over the content creator. You're visiting a site for content, and the one really getting paid is Brave

I really wish I had focused on subscription growth instead of ad growth when I was in the content business (I had a few sites over 1m uniques per day). There's just something to delivering something so valuable that readers are willing to pay for it. You end up being much more focused on quality instead of driving ad clicks and directing your readers off site. That said, times have changed a lot, and people now seem much more willing to pay than 10 years ago.
First off, let's get this quote out of the way:

> The closest work-related argument I've heard is that some people work better when they're free of distractions at the office. That takes us back to companies being collaborative human endeavors. One may feel they work better in isolation, but part of ones job is to interact with others, even if that's not fun.

This just feels like motivated reasoning to me. Here's how I read it "I've NEVER SEEN an argument for why WFH is better... Well, some people did say they're more focused and productive when working from home, but they're probably just doing a poor job of communication so that outweighs any of their perceived productivity gains." How can we falsify this rebuttal? I certainly have enough data to show that I've had much greater and more consistent engagement with my work since transitioning to work from home, and I have plenty of 1:1s and meetings with the rest of my team to stay connected and work through problems. Our team has shipped successful products entirely working from home. But that argument runs up against a brick wall if you're predisposed to assume that whatever job I'm doing at home, I'd be more effective in the office.

Personally I haven't seen much evidence for the proposition that WFO produces better outcomes. Most of the arguments seem to be from first principles, like the communication argument you're making or the argument that companies would have already gone WFH if it were better for the bottom line.

The problem with the work outcomes conversation is that our industry has 1) no reliable way of measuring work output and thus 2) no reliable way of measuring productivity. This is why despite decades of research we have no good way to estimate when projects will be done, for example. Each organization is unique. Each project is unique. Comparing across them is questionable. That means conversations that are ostensibly about what makes a business productive are really just a dressed up proxy for our own values.
Parity with and superiority to the Soviet Union was an overt part of US policy-making for decades. What's changed is that it's somewhat less overt now for various reasons one of them being the there's less of an explicit ideological conflict between the US/allies and its adversaries.
Regarding crack addicts, LA isn't that much worse than SF where they have been testing for a while. Yes, LA is bigger and has more crack addicts, but the density of crack addicts per square kilometer is about the same between the Tenderloin and Skid Row.

Waymo will probably just geofence out the worst areas anyway.
What do you mean? Pollution effect is per habitat, not per capita.

Population growth is a baseline goal for emissions. If we can't cut pollution generation faster than population growth, we are losing.
They recommend, avoid technical jargon so change it to:

The evidence for the benefits of breast milk is overwhelming at this point, and vastly outweighs the evidence for specifically breastfeeding-induced bonding as a factor in a child's early life. So no, there is no reason to advocate for formula and several reasons not to.

We should be adovcating for more parent-child bonding, however that happens; for more opportunities for parents to make whatever choices they wish to regarding the work/parenting issues during their child's early (entire?) life; for the normalization of public breastfeeding; for better parental leave policies; and more.

None of these things require pushing some point that raising children is naturally women's work (even if breastfeeding itself is).
Excepting the exceptions, only men care about legacy and purpose. Women care about a well socialized easy life. A family can provide that, but it does restrict you in significant ways. An air conditioned office where you're tippy typing on a keyboard, making calls, joking around the water cooler, and have a bunch of disposable income at the end of the month is a fantastic deal.
> have a model where transportation become cheaper

Multiple billions have been spent on developing this technology, its hard to imagine they won't squeeze out maximum profit with a multitude of dark patterns if they do become mainstream.
Many of the world's strongest standards – including those of the internet – were standardized from work that first proved itself outside "standards bodies", rather than emerged from them. Standards bodies are better at codifying practices proven to work than bootstrapping new approaches, and quickly become highly-political impediments to innovation as the stakes grow & entrenched interests arrive.

Also, despite the ideals & good work of early ActivityPub work, in practice its server-centricity has already sent it many evolutionary steps down towards the same semi-feudal architecture as email & HTTP, where your identity, content-policies, & even privacy are at the mercy of your "home server" (feudal lord).

Even the real option to freely choose a new liege (at some serious switching costs) doesn't promptly or fully address this weakness, and the theoretical potential for practices to be radically different faces a giant "architecture tax" from the installed base, & costs/expectations of backward-compatibility.

Users of ActivityPub have already self-selected for those who are OK with such "home server" dependencies. Why, they find them "cozy" & even have (well-reasoned!) apologetics describing ways in which this user-homeserver co-dependency is good – for their needs.

So why should people with a very different vision, informed by both the limits of the giant proprietary platforms and of ActivityPub, fight a slow uphill slog in that community, as opposed to pursing a "green field" (or you might even say "blue sky") effort with fewer constraints? Appropriate formats & conventions from prior work like ActivityPub can still be reused, whenever helpful.

How does one not process-gate something like PR reviews?

Example: several times we've had mid-level devs do work in code that could have been handled by a language function, or built out a portion of the system without thinking about how it impacts another portion, or doing work without writing tests... all things that we've attempted to stress to everyone on the team repeatedly. Other mid-level team members who are already performing reviews aren't calling out these things, so the only thing that seems to work is adding a process-gate where some of the more senior team members are required to approve.

I hate it, but nothing else has seemed to work.
By providing real value to founders/sellers, you're taking away so much value from potential co-founders such that no co-founders will want to use this. And if there are no co-founders, then why would founders or sellers use your platform?
A/B testing shouldn't be just for customers.

We could have gates that have a random bypass. Have a 10% chance that the gate must be bypassed for this iteration.

Did any of the bad things that happened cost more that the gate? No? Gate goes away.
Right? Intuitively it seems like there's some kind of vortex dynamic happening that would be better represented by something like fluid dynamics or harmonics, but we're trying to classify different kinds of ripples and eddies as "particles".

Hawking predicted low mass objects could form a black hole, and while the proton has less mass than the minimum bounds he calculated, it is extremely dense. Perhaps it's dense enough to where it's close to a micro black hole such that it "sticks together", but information can still be exchanged at its edges? If it's acting as some kind of interface between our spacetime and a gravitationally collapsed state, then this could possibly explain phenomenon like how quantum entanglement is possible, with information being exchanged across spacetime via these quasi black holes. Just my layman speculation!
On the internet, popularity is sometimes indistinguishable from being targeted by a low-orbit ion cannon.
I think people are OK to admitting others are better, for example, I admit Hussain Bolt runs way faster than me. What people don't like is those "elites" telling us how to live our lives, or how to think, or what to accept as normal and what not, while coming from an extremely privileged background that most people don't have, where their "achievement" are more of a consequence of their upbringing and less of a personal success story.
That is a silly statement, as absurd as saying electricity itself is a dead end. The fact of the matter is EVs and electrified vehicles in general are the best answer we've got for the future of consumer mobility. Nothing else really competes long term.
I'm confused about the ToS comment by Cloudflare. The txt is on a website so it is a web content?

So robots.txt is not supported by Cloudflare to cache/proxy it? That would be a weird regulation. And I bet everyone violates the Cloudflare ToS then.
Except if they were really serious they would have just eliminated the need to spend that energy driving into the office by allowing WFH.

I love this trick. You can also do this using your hands if you know roughly what time it is.

For example, if it's sunny out, place your arm in your shadow, parallel to the ground. Keep it there. This arm represents the current time (say, 10 O'clock).
Look at your shadow and point your other arm out, parallel to the ground, and adjust it until the arm's shadow points at "12 O'clock" relative to your first arm (in your shadow).
Clap your hands together, and you're pointing north!
Not automatically. The fires might destroy the ecosystem. Forests don't grow back in a dessert, for example.
I believe that's more or less how it works today, although I'm not sure about the part where they eventually keep the money. The browser essentially blocks ads and rewards users with BAT crypto in exchange for viewing privacy-respecting ads run by Brave. The BAT is then credited to the sites the user is viewing based on time spent on the site. The rub is, as you pointed out, that not every site signs up with Brave and won't ever receive the BAT.

It's a great idea with a good implementation that's primarily marred by poor uptake. It could have been a game changer if it had been embraced. The idea that Brave still shows ads and essentially holds the revenue in escrow for a non-member publisher is somewhat uncomfortable. But I also realize the likely reason they did it that way is it's much easier to get a publisher on board if they can show that there's already engagement and revenue waiting to be collected.

I use Brave from time to time with the wallet and rewards disabled. It's a couple settings and you never see it again. I probably would enable it if publishers actually used it. As things stand now, why should I be willing to accept ads the publisher won't be paid for when I'm already unwilling to accept ads that do pay?

So I think that, ultimately, it's not the use of crypto or the rewards program that comes off as a little skeevy. It's the idea that that stuff exists and the money never goes where it's supposed to go.
The grid does and will increasingly curtail renewables. If they had a demand queue of customer cars to send that power to, they do that instead of curtailing it.

This is not a penalty situation, it is an enticement. Smart charge rates of 4 cents instead of 20 cents a kw/h. People will voluntarily do this to save themselves money.

Yes. Men should be allowed the same right.
I'm fine with that if the public will, regulatory power and legislation is there.

My point was less "This is fine," and more, "This is inconsistent." Sorry if that didn't come across.
Wowowow,so COOL!!
Whoa, thanks! That's confusing.

And actually.. since a vector space has an underlying set, it seems to me that to do a direct sum on a vector space, you must first do a direct sum on the set (that is, do a disjoint union), and then do other things to map the rest of the structure of a vector space into the sum.

So, somehow, a disjoint union (of the underlying set) becomes a cartesian product (of the whole vector space)?

Also: the direct sum of an abelian group is also a cartesian product, right? Of any algebraic structure, not only vectors? Why are sets so special to have a different direct sum than algebraic structures built on top of sets?

(Is there somewhere to read about this to gain intuition?)
Would DNS blocking be affected by this (I presume not since the lists are hardcoded)?
> You see, all of the above was a problem, because it didn't keep me employed. I was not the "hero" for saving the day. Entire teams of people weren't involved. There was no visibility at the senior management level. Nobody got scared, or had to throw money at it, or hire consultants to review it.

there are a few other instances of that:

- an old article about Michelin (french tire manufacturer) quoting some scientist of theirs "We can make a million hour tire.. but what would we sell"

- recently people said their rust code cause too much downtime for coders because it was too stable too early

flip side of the same issue:

- very often people game their work to ensure benefits: stash duties for later so you can appear busy, or overwhelmed (and claim promotion because you have so much to do)

The global system doesn't reward to true optimization, it allocates people on useless tasks, at best for lower risk, but smart people doing things solid and fast could be using their talents on other problems.

I hope this doesn't get flagged, although I thought to flag it about a quarter of the way in. Essentially the thesis is that people opting into personal surveillance are changing norms, changes that will be misused by state and employer power against people who don't opt in.

Hidden below all of this is the normalization of surveillance that consistently targets marginalized communities. The difference between a smartwatch and an ankle monitor is, in many ways, a matter of context: Who wears one for purported betterment, and who wears one because they are having state power enacted against them? Looking back to Detroit, surveillance cameras, facial recognition, and microphones are supposedly in place to help residents, although there is scant evidence that these technologies reduce crime. Meanwhile, the widespread adoption of surveillance technologies—even ones that offer supposed benefits—creates an environment where even more surveillance is deemed acceptable. After all, there are already cameras and microphones everywhere.
Why bother asking these types anymore? It's just going to the same debunked propaganda over and over.
Families who are not at home during the allotted time won’t be able to charge.

People charge at night because home charging is the only practical way to own an EV and most people work during the day.

Fix the charging situation first — but be aware that more convenient charging will induce more demand for EVs from apartment dwellers, which will increase demand for electricity overall.

The only real solution is to improve the power grid so that EV owners can charge whenever they want.

4/5th of EU rail traffic is passenger trains which changes a great deal about how each system operates. The EU actually has more track miles per person than the US and vastly more electrified lines, they even pay less for rail infrastructure projects etc, but freight traffic very much plays second fiddle.

The US on the other hand allows for much heavier and slower freight trains. It’s very good at moving heavy stable bulk loads like coal and corn long distances, but less so about moving perishable goods. US freight trips to Mexico can take as long as 45-60 days but those trips are really cheap per ton/mile.

I'm a big fan of developing quietly, releasing often, and waiting for the big reveal…

When building a new feature or product in a situation where you’re starting from zero to one: Develop it. Release it often. Get feedback from actual customers (not just noisy stakeholders!).

Showing your new product/feature to a small group of customers is a great way to gain the confidence of actual customers that you are actually solving a valid problem.

Once you've met the success criteria for the early access program, then you know you are delivering something of value and that a bigger marketing launch will be more successful.

What are some of the things that have worked for you when you've launched new products and services to a subset of people? Would love to share learnings.
Two of the three pillars highlighted on the atproto.com homepage – portable accounts, and algorithmic choice – would require significant retrofitting counter to ActivityPub server customs to achieve.

(And the third, "federated social", is arguably an area that at-proto is erring by staying too close to the ActivityPub approach. We know what happens to 'federated' systems under network-economics: they trend toward semi-feudalism.)
