While on the other end of the spectrum is the new Apple TV 4k with A15 bionic and 128 GB storage for $149. How wrong am I thinking this is a steal? Especially if I want to play Arcade games on this. I wonder if this baby can be jailbroken at some point to run a full blown macos.

People's role in society shouldn't be determined by their biology, but the manner in which their biology manifests in their life outcomes is determined by their biology.
> crytocurrency schemes

There. is. no. scheme.

What is so hard to understand about that? The crypto part from Brave is only if you want to receive a token.

They could change tomorrow to make the payments in greenbacks, and they would still have the same business model. But do you think that the people bitching about the browser would use it, if they suddenly learned they could win $5-10 per month? They wouldn't. They would just find another reason to complain or fight it, and those who actually want to use crypto would leave because they lost their chance to speculate.

I personally don't care about the success of BAT - though I still buy it regularly. My main interest is in finding an alternative economic model for Surveillance Capitalism. Show me any other company that is doing anything that can become a real threat to Google/MS/Facebook, and I will support it as well.
This is actually a really good example of re-enforcing the normalcy of ridicule in that it licenses others to do the same to the same groups of people. It's precisely this reality-enforcing mechanism that I'm attempting to point out. It's endlessly both funny and sad that even giving folks the ability to recognize it doesn't actually change anything.
4 requests per image lookup x 2000 requests per second = 8000 DynamoDB Reads per Second = 28,800,000 reads per hour

AWS price list says reserved instances come in at "$0.00013 per RCU" x 28,800,000 = $3744 per hour. Does this really cost $2.6 mio per month to operate?

If yes, contact me and I'll be happy to save you $2.595 mio monthly by re-implementing things in C++ on bare metal servers.
> I do the bare minimum though and I don't give a damn about the job at all beyond that. I haven't put in an honest 40 hours in years. I try to cram all my real work into a 2-3 hour block of time each day. Somehow my managers are still very happy with my output and I still get offered promotions ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Shit, I can't consistently do more than 3-5 hours of "real work" each day.

My wife just started a WFH office job, after years in a career where she spent a lot of time on her feet, working very socially and responding to things moment-to-moment (though not without planning in the mix). I felt validated in my capacity for staring-at-a-screen work when, after a couple days, she remarked to me that now she understood why I felt brain-dead in the evenings—she finds this way more draining than what she used to do, even though on-paper I think her old career should have been harder in many ways.

The fucking glowing screens are powered mostly by sucking out energy from the user, I swear.
How? Probably the many millions of idle/stale accounts that had their passwords exposed on the hundreds of password database leaks.

Hi everyone!

We've been working on making data teams more productive with Aqueduct for over a year, and we're really excited to share what we've been building.

There's a large (and growing!) number of programmers in the world who understand data and can solve business problems but don't want to spend their time wrangling low-level cloud infrastructure to get their work into the cloud. The existing MLOps tools that claim to solve this problem have been built by & for software teams, and they're incredibly complicated.

With Aqueduct, we've built a tool that's designed for data teams and abstracts away the underlying infrastructure. Aqueduct has a simple Python API that allows you to define a workflow as a composition of Python functions. Those workflows can be easily connected to data sources and can be run anywhere from your laptop to a Kubernetes cluster in the cloud. Once a workflow's running, Aqueduct has lightweight hooks to compute metrics and run tests over your pipelines to ensure they're producing high-quality results.

To learn more about what we're building, check out our GitHub repo or join our community Slack:

Nix OS with Gnome just requires a few tweaks to the config file. Then it's pretty plug and play like as OSX. Devices, network manager, screen sharing...

Microsoft does seem to make it very easy to sign up for their accounts. I used to run a compute service that had a credit card -less free trial. It was peak crypto, so there were a lot of people creating outlook.com accounts, using that to create a Github account, and then logging into our service as a brand new user that way. They would then mine crypto for the duration of the free trial and then rinse and repeat.

I think at the time I went through Github's sign-up flow, and you didn't have to even verify your email address to be able to OAuth with your Github account. (I didn't try signing up for an outlook.com email address, so I'm not sure what that entails.) GMail, comparatively, appeared to be more paranoid. We eventually prevented outlook.com addresses from getting a free trial without talking to a human first, and the people looking for a free crypto-miner didn't come back. (They tried Proton as their second choice.) We never banned GMail, so I can only assume that people had a harder time signing up, which is pretty impressive on Google's part.
Before I had an EV, I'd have agreed with you.

Imagine your gas car increased it's range by 50 miles every time you came home for the night. How often would you fill up your gas tank?

For me it was much rarer than I expected. Sure longer road trips over 300 miles I'd often spend 15 minutes getting 140 miles of extra range. How far away are these hikes or cities?

I spent something like 10x less time charging on the road than I used to for gas and oil, so I consider that a huge win. Even driving from Sacramento Area to Denver area wasn't a big deal. Drive for 4-5 hours, stop and grab a snack and walk the dog and back into the car. Sure I had to wait an extra 10 minutes before driving for another 4-5 hours. I'd much rather do that than have to hit a gas station weekly ish.
Thank you. Great! If you are using Chrome, here is how to default it:

> I always thought CC was for Carbon Copy.

Originally, it did. Back when we didn't have computers in the office, it was a copy made using carbon paper, as the original was being typed on a typewriter. ("BCC" was Blind Carbon Copy.)

I had always thought a "Courtesy Copy" had specific legal meaning and was a copy of a filing sent to the judge and/or other parties when a case was filed.

Marriage is a contract your future self may regret. It may seem like the right thing now but you at the end of your life may think differently.

The OP regrets not having children. His younger self made that decision. He is not too old to go and have kids with someone else or adopt (say as a single dad even).

Go have kids man! If your wife doesn't want to then get divorced. If she does then work together. IVD, adoption etc...
Good example and exactly what I meant. Having each call on its own line doesn’t solve anything if you also nest the calls.
Have you even tried an M1/M2 based computer? Its like when I moved from HDD to SSD, an unbelievable revolution in performance and snappiness.

>M1-2 are brittle and controlled, the opposite of open/repairable etc.

We have reached the point where we cannot have removable ram for technical reasons. M chips get a a lot of their performance from excellent memory bandwidth. Move on from this thought process. The software is still gives you more control compared to Windows and thats what really matters, not the arch that it is running.

>If you don't have this hardware, you'll get something that will last max 10 years.

10 years is enough time for the next computing paradigm shift. It is great that MacOS lets us hold onto the old world for 10 more years(hopefully).

>USA has banned China from manufacturing without having a replacement.

Thats a temporary issue. They mostly made low end junk silicon anyway.
Think people with chromebooks or old laptops who cannot use it for development. Or restricted laptops loaned from school which do not allow anyone but admin access to install anything.

Per Wikipedia, Albertsons' Class A shares are traded. My guess is the PE firms have a different share class.
It's a bit like the "energy" in an electric capacitor. It's a property of the system's state that is related to the interactions between the particles.

In a charged capacitor, there's a lot of electrons on one side, but very few of them on the other. When you close the capacitor, suddenly you get a lot of energy out of it.
> AFAIK in the US a bicycle is considered a car for right-of-way purposes and thus has no privilege over the car.

The US is not a single jurisdiction for traffic laws, and whether bicycles are considered vehicles and whether and how they are treated differently than cars at intersections or for other purposes varies widely by state.
Not only that. We are all ready to go to war to protect the right to abort a pregnancy. But where is the passion wrt rights for mothers to not have to feel like they are abandoning their children after shortly after birthing them because they ran out of (or never had) parental leave?

Our priorities as a society have been inverted in this area.
Lol, thanks for asking! Yeah, I think we're making progress. There's a lot to do, and I feel it is getting done (see progress at https://darklang.com/changelog).

I don't believe we have product market fit yet, the plan goes like this:

- rebuild the technical foundations (DONE)

- fix a lot of the jankiness in the editor <- we are here now

- make sure language is fully baked (coming soon)

- add a package manager/user management

I think the last step is where we'll start to see some product market fit.
Just tried it, you can use both within the text editor. I prefer the spacebar "trick". It was much smoother, I had trouble stopping at lines in the middle because it seemed too sensitive for up/down movement. The spacebar long press let me position the cursor anywhere within the text on the screen.

I've discovered that Siri (US-English) is, IMNSHO ridiculously heavily weighted towards southern drawl. Like, where "lion" and "line" are essentially indistinguishable sounds. It KEEPs transcribing my words as if i had a southern accent, but i very much speak with a generic northern accent with fairly clear enunciation and diction and pronunciations that tend to match the dictionary.
I feel a bit bad about that. I'm 36 and I'm the oldest on the team, but Usenet was before me (which seems to be why it's widely known? though I see it's more than that). Googling brought up the Hayes commands but we had no idea it was this strong of an association.
Heh, a lot of the results are more visually appealing than the real landscape I shot in B&W.
You're welcome. It was my pleasure to share it.

I was using IodéOS that has similar blocker built-in - but it is not open source so I was looking for no root alternative to control specific app/domain connections and this blows my mind. FOSS, pleasant UI, many very useful features for prevent leaks and so on...

Btw what is different between blocking individual domains (soon in DNS) and blocking connection in firewall for specific domain?
I don't have an opinion on that, but I do know that my child hated daycare and I only learned how much he hated it after he quit going.

We drove by his old daycare about a month after I pulled him out and he instantly starting having a breakdown in his car seat. I asked him what was wrong and he said "I don't want to go back to daycare." I told him we were simply driving by en route to the pool, but it took a while to calm him down.

I asked him why he didn't want to return and he said "because the teachers are angry."

And I believed him and it broke my heart. I myself have many negative memories associated with daycare from the 80s. It was not a pleasant experience.

In the US, it seems that we rarely take care of the caregivers to our two most vulnerable groups of citizens. Children and the elderly are cared for by individuals who don't even have the basics to take care of themselves.

Yet the owners of the establishments always make their money. I was seeing red and extremely angry when I learned that I had to pay for daycare when they were closed. Regardless of why they were closed. I had to pay for holidays and I had to pay for 3 entire weeks on 3 occasions when one of the staff members caught covid. Yet none of the employees were paid during those times. That was pure profit for the owners of the establishment.
New Technique Reduces Electrocution Risk After EV Crash
It's apparently not because it's entirely possible to have children well into your 30s. Sure risk factors can do things like "increase 10x" but it increases from like 0.02% to 0.2%.
That joystick control struck me as a great idea.

This really opens up coding to people who only have a phone - which is a large number of people in say Rural India.

One way of working I've constantly thinking about is using replit's as the unit of work.

Imagine finishing your work and sending the replit to someone else to review, run and then push to beta. No need for any setup on the reciever side or the QA side. If PM specs are also part of this environment, its very self contained and would be a great way for remote teams to work and helps avoid meetings.
This is meant sincerely, because I went through the same reflections when i was 35, and the following worked beyond well for me.

Adopt either kids or a couple rescue pets. There are people who will remark it's not equivalent, but you really may find it's a very distinct version of satisfying and wholesome.
Oh I see. Ignore my comment then.

Agreed. Though surely these job requirements select for different backgrounds/values, no?
Very fun. Pro tip: the riders are random in each test run, so if you failed but were close, just re-run and you might get lucky.
My experience in Seattle is that the majority of my coworkers have more free time and less stress as a result of WFH. I enjoy going to the office and having a feeling of community, but I'm in the minority, at least at my former employer.

Over time I'm hoping the workforce will redistribute somewhat so that more office folks join the same pro office companies. For myself I'd prefer to join a company that has some office community even if it's a hybrid company.
> I have 0 interest in building something that has little to no use in a free market.

Nation states have goals that the free market doesn’t value like stability or risk mitigation. Keeping an industry that can become critical around in a reduced capacity so that you don’t need to bootstrap from scratch is to governments like purchasing insurance on a car is for an individual who relies on one for their income.
Nighttime charging of EVs may overburden the grid
predictable joke
I'm quite thrilled to see low price groceries like Aldi come in and take business away from these bloated supermarket chains.

After making the switch it's hard to shop at a typical grocery store. Everything is ridiculously marked up and the floor plan is ridiculously sprawling.
I personally like having the option. I've worked for fully remote for most my career even before covid - back when it was "cool" and people would have taken pay cuts to stay remote. I learned early on that fully remote jobs aren't all rainbows and sunshine, there are definite tradeoffs you make, but overall I'd probably rather a fully remote gig than a "You must be in the office 9-5 every day" gig. My ideal situation though is a hybrid one that doesn't force anything; I've found that I miss leaving the house to go to the office for a bit. Maybe it would be a bit different if I didn't have a wife at home that can take care of the dogs while I'm out.
Readability at Google suffered from this issue both directly (requiring someone with Readability in a language to review and approve before landing a CL) and indirectly (the backlog of requests to obtain Readability was at one point I think over a year long for some languages).

Contrasted with Facebook where you were expected to commit code to production your first week. I couldn't believe how different the eng cultures were.

(Each has their pros and cons, not saying one's perfect and the other terrible.)
The state and its policy encourage free markets to be immoral because they fetishize "growth" as a metric. I'm not saying growth is bad, but morally speaking, it should be consisered at best neutral. A growth-agnostic capitalist system would be interesting.
> because they’re the only ones that can do it.

This is massively insulting to men. I'm personally massively insulted by it, having shared custody 50/50 with my ex and certainly done as much to raise my son as she has.

> I’m not sure how western society will continue

Birth rates are below replacement everywhere in the world except sub-Saharan Africa, and declining in sub-Saharan Africa too. Any notion that the low birth rate is a phenomenon that can be ascribed to cultural factors in the west is not supported by data.
You're 100% on this. That seems to be the whole point of DIDs, but under today's internet I think BYOD and domain ownership is a better solution. That said, none of the registrars seem to be working towards end-user domain ownership.

TakingNames.io is a cool project that works a little bit in this direction, they provide an OAuth-type flow to grant an application permission to update your DNS records on your behalf.
The joystick feels like a worse and redundant version of iOS’s built in spacebar-as-trackpad feature, but having buttons to step left and right is useful.
Combined, my family has easily more than 60 years at Smith's over 3 generations dating back to the 70s - my dad had more than 40 alone before they canned him. It is not an understatement to say I grew up in a grocery store.

Kroger has been a bit more ruthless in the last 5 years, and basically pulled an IBM in late 2019:

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/02/kroger-to-lay-off-hundreds-a...

They called it "middle management" in press release but they fired tons of senior people in the stores that had been around a long time (anyone over 50 who'd been at the company more than 25 years was a good candidate). In any case - management at a grocery store might as well be a blue collar job in comparison to most any other white collar job. The severance package was decent - most got 9 months pay. Still, getting canned in your 50s from one of the only jobs you've ever known isn't pleasant, but it didn't surprise me. Management at the established grocery businesses. There was a lot of talk about The Bear in the restaurant industry - the grocery industry at the departmental management level and above is similar, albeit usually less ruthless and a lot more petty. Everyone gets written up a lot and their jobs hung over their head often. I think it's probably gotten a bit better in the last decade though, partially as some of the old people have started to be replaced with college grads I suppose.

As for Safeway, I've been in the bay area since 2010 and I can't really say I'd shed a tear to see Safeway under different management. I remember my introduction to Safeway when I went to buy eggs and bacon and was shocked to see it at $7/package in 2010. I settled for the Jimmy Dean sausage at the time, because it was on sale. This simple introduction holds true -most Safeway prices are out of line with a reasonable price _unless_ things are on sale. That was not something that was true at Smith's, or Winco, or even Raley's (Nob Hill Foods) in general. Safeway even took over Andronico's in the bay area and _raised_ prices even more - while reducing the product quality and selection. Compared to Whole Foods, prices are actually competitive on a day-to-day basis. The best thing Safeway has going for itself at this point is that is that it's ubiquitous and it usually has self-checkout lanes (which is the only way to get in and out of a store in a reasonable amount of time anymore).

To sum it up - I think Kroger is on a path to trying to turn more profit at the expense of workers and consumers alike, but I don't think Safeway can get much worse either. It's going to be shit all the way down, you just hope it's not the super smelly kind.
So... firstly I think you are confused about the nature of the Jones Act. It only affects the domestic shipping industry. There is no overseas country to deal with. And to the extent that the Jones Act creates deadweight loss, it only penalizes the deal with the local baker.

>This should be pretty obvious because any money sent overseas stops being multiplied, even if you end up spending the same amount of money total.

Even given the above, I have no idea why you would assume this to be true. If someone in a foreign country is paid in US Dollars, the most likely thing to do with it is buy US goods or assets. (In the case of China, that is most likely US securities, but it's still not lost to the US economy).

Again, the multiplier effect is only applicable when dealing with an external input to a system. Otherwise, you are arguing that simply raising prices creates economic growth which is clearly not true.
It is when you oversimplify a complex issue. There might have been a good point were there an absolute shortage of housing, but there isn't. Much of the scarcity in the housing market is wholly artificial, and blaming immigrants or restricting their arrival would have absolutely zero impact on landlords' propensity to extract economic rents without providing any additional value.
I don't plan on making any of the mistakes that my own mother made.

At age 5, I was driving my BMX around Montgomery Co, Alabama with a single shot Remington .410 bungee strapped to the handle bars. I was a latch key kid from the day I started kindergarten. I was cooking for myself and dressing myself starting then as well.

I won't allow my own child to experience any of that.
