I would love that.

This tool looks like the perfect productivity tool for me - as a staff engineer with accountability for the deliverables of 2 teams (might become 3 soon).

As I can no longer simply track my work in a team's JIRA board, I need some way to keep track of what I'm planning to do, what's in progress, and what's done -- and separately for each team; also including journal entries so I can log research I've done or conversations I've had. The Pomodoro timer and other personal productivity features just make it all the more attractive - a perfect fit.

Upbase looks perfect for this -- minus the team features.
I get we've been cooking the books and printing money during COVID, but shouldn't there be a raw productivity explosion in the US economy with COVID restrictions lifting? Suppressed consumption, increased output, etc?

This does seem like some weird massive manipulation of the economy by the elites to grab more wealth and control. Or it's just some collective revenge against the various antiwork / worker empowerment / etc that came out of COVID to put the proles back in their place.

Or maybe its just that a lot of investment dollars are drying up from overseas with inflation.
> We found that they were heavily Democratic, with over 75 percent indicating that they supported Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.

To provide some context on that number, assuming that most of them are under 65 and college graduates, that's possibly even a slightly Republican lean, though if you assume they're mostly men that probably swings it back again a little.

Incorrect. This is a lie we tell other people to guilt them into voting because if we can at least get them to a ballot box we can maybe also get them to at least partially vote for our preferred set of outcomes; it’s not actually true. Not voting is simply not voting: abstaining from making a choice or making the choice to not make a choice if you prefer, and how someone exercises their voting power and how much is a personal choice.

Not voting is at worst, voting for whoever actually won in a given election. In my case I live in a single-party county in a single-party State. So voting one of two ways is either wasted ink on the winner or a protest vote for the loser and I’ll sometimes do it anyway, but when the winner is going to be same officeholder who has held office for 30 years and won with 80% of the vote last time, it’s definitely more of an emotional exercise than a rational one no matter how you voted, and this will only be subject to change once that person retires. There was also one office where the incumbent was running unopposed (and has been for years) so I stopped wasting the ink.

Given how voting differs from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, everyone has their own calculus for voting so knock off the patronizing propaganda.

If it makes you feel better, I at least partially fill out my 10 page ballots packed with offices across three or more elections with four or five different kinds of voting methods, plus State and local ballot initiatives, but only to the degree that I am satisfied with it or can be satisfied with it, and that’s all that is really necessary.

1. Bitcoin may not be bulky but there are still many risks. Losing the wallet, forgetting a password, or theft are still issues!
The thing that you are missing is that crypto transactions are slow and expensive. When I say slow I mean hours to complete a single transaction. That's why people keep their money on the exchange, it's far more efficient and usable. Of course it's also risky because exchanges do rug pulls all the time. Knowing when to pull your crypto and bail is a trick. If you're seeing news articles about "minor irregularities" and "temporarily suspended trading" it is too late. Your money is gone.
That’s exactly my point:

We can both recognize the limits of mass market news and think that, eg, CNN is delivering a product below that standard.

Mostly agree. But not all those regulations. The power given to Trudeau to freeze the bank accounts of his political opponents does not serve any public good. Those regulations are also being abused all over the place at various degrees. Doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be any regulation but over regulation is a thing.

I keep having this thought that Twitter could be solved by Cloudflare or similar cloud systems that can expose HTTP APIs and cheaply serve content through global caches.

Start with the principle that you own (and pay for, if necessary) the cloud resources for your piece of the social network. A standardized API that does the things you expect of a microblog; post stuff, collect replies, followers, etc. runs in your account. You control it: access, moderation (possibly delegated as you prefer), advertising, throttling, whatever.

Assuming everyone is using a standardized protocol (DIDs for identity for instance) users could interact seamlessly. How hard could it be to clone Twitter on Cloudflare? Would it take more than a few thousand lines of Javascript/WASM to replicate the basic microblogging functions? A good onboarding system to automate the setup to be at least as easy(...?) as typical social networks would be necessary. Search would solve itself if the network was sufficiently popular.
It’s a 0.7% layoff. Not even a whole percentage point.
Yeah, I think seats are the least of my concerns when buying an EV.

I don't want $5000 added to the price tag for fancy seats. Just give me more battery and power.

I mean sure, if you make 500+ mile trips frequently, by all means, get yourself a custom car seat, but I just want a frictionless experience of getting from A to B (cheaply)

I imagine a dystopian future where military might from a world superpower is deployed against oil extracting infrastructure -- this happening, of course, after such a superpower has mostly transitioned away from fossil fuel use. This, of course, is just imagination in my head, but it strikes me as somewhat possible. The future is bleak -- and it's easy to imagine drastic choices being made in a bleak future. In this context, this website almost looks like a target list for such a military endeavour. This behavior, of course, would result in severe famine for those still dependent on fossil fuels.

I don't think it can be optimized without altering semantics. If it's a pointer to a value in the slice, changing the slice's values (ruleset[i] = ...) will be reflected in all Rule values returned from the function, because they all point to the same memory. In the same way, changing the returned value's fields will change the data in the original slice. The author's code is prone to this behavior after the change.

When it's a pointer to a copy, no such implicit dependencies occur.
In what way is Rivian a Tesla rival? They don't compete directly.
FYI, there is a world of BS around "fire proof" anything. It's all about the time it's around fire.

If your house burns to the ground and collapses in on itself, the extreme majority of fire proof safes, aren't. If the fire dept shows up and it's out in an hour and it wasn't buried, your things will probably be alright.

I dealt with a guy's gun collection stored in his $10,000 "fire proof" safe stored in his garage. Almost everything was garbage. Saved a handful of parts here and there.

I'm somewhat surprised. I had bought into the "all machine-learning is done on-device" messaging and thought that Apple Maps was taking pains to anonymize data by only sending small chunks of your route data for traffic congestion analysis/etc.

When Apple was starting their machine learning division I'd heard they had trouble retaining top talent because the engineers would show up and "okay! where's the data?" and Apple would reply "uhh, we don't have any it all stays on-device".

But with Apple getting into advertising I don't think this could stay this way, if it ever actually was in the first place.
I've been struggling with wrapping my head around asynchronous programming with callbacks, promises and async/await in JS, however I think it's finally clicking after watching these YouTube videos and creating a document where I explain these concepts as if I'm teaching them to someone else:

* Philip Roberts's What the heck is the event loop anyway? - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aGhZQkoFbQ

* The Story of Asynchronous JavaScript - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rivBfgaEyWQ

* Jake Archibald: In The Loop - setTimeout, micro tasks, requestAnimationFrame, requestIdleCallback, - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCOL7MC4Pl0

Edit... I've been rewatching these videos, reading the MDN docs, the Eloquent JavaScript book, javascript.info, blogs about the subject, etc. This further proves you shouldn't limit yourself to a single resource, and instead fill up the laguna with water from different sources if you will.
1. Loose the password to your crypto wallet or your physical machine and all your money is gone. Regular people won't go farther than that.

2. Deflationary currencies reduce the urgency to invest or spend and crush economies.

Bitcoin makes both issues worse.
Probably we are in for a prolonged stagnation, but even after 11,000 layoffs last week, Meta’s employment level is on par with early 2022, hardly a massive reduction historically.
My first question for recruiters is always about how a company trains/mentors employees. I have gotten maybe 5 good responses out of the 100's of times I've asked that question.

It's shocking to me. Every employee you hire is going to have to be trained on SOMETHING that is new to them or specific to your company. Why dont companies spend more time developing onboarding and training programs that actually work?
And when I wanted to rid myself of all things Google, nobody needed to know, I didn't need to rebuild my contacts -- I moved my custom domain to a different provider, done and done.

Beyond that, Twitter is rife with spam, scams, and tons of other abuse. So is Facebook. So is reddit. The fact that email doesn't work that way doesn't matter.
Both. It follows it observably and the reason it does is because with low interest rates there is an excess of capital. Money is too cheap so it flows into speculative asset classes like stocks and crypto.
That’s not how stop losses work. If things are falling fast enough, You could have one trade at $7, and the next trade at $4. Sorry, you still lost money.
I don't get it. What's supposed to be outrageous/"Un fucking believable" about that video? I watched the video once, and checking the transcript, the things she said were:

1. "yeah absolutely could pull it off without my math degree I use very little math" - given that her position is a CEO (ie. leadership), it seems plausible that she doesn't use her math degree in the day to day. Also, the clip has zero context as to what the question actually was.

2. "being comfortable with risk is very important" - Would you rather have a hedge fund CEO that's not comfortable with risk?

3. "we tend not to have things like stop losses I think those aren't necessarily great risk management tool" - ...which is true. Stop losses are basically market orders that get placed when the price drops below a certain amount. It's true that they can stop losses, but it could also lead you to sell at the bottom and at the worst price.

4. "trying to think of a good example of a trade where I've lost a ton of money um well I don't know I probably don't want to go into specifics too much with" - This is one of these questions where you need to have a prepared answer for, because answering it any any honest/unprepared way would make you look bad. The closest real life example would be something "what is your greatest weakness" or "what was the biggest fuck up in your last job". Obviously she didn't have one prepared, hence the response.
Most people are, in fact, willing to trade the government preventing lawlessness with money for the protection of the law with regards to their money. It’s a great trade, for non-criminals.

It also addresses the bankruptcy problem with government loss protection + regulation on net reserves (which worked and are tweaked as multiple overlapping failure conditions are tested, last in 2008).
I think the optimization is only valid if we know that nothing is ever going to use thr returned pointer to do mutation.
> 5. Apple's true definition of privacy is that All Apple's user Data belongs to Apple. Any data to third party are by definition "Tracking". Since Privacy is a Fundamental Human Right, I guess the only choice is to give Apple all your Data?

Are we so naive to believe that we are not be tracked by the big tech companies all the time?

If I use Office 365 Microsoft knows about my document writing habits and may be privy to company secrets if I had to write some sensitive company memos.

Google has the vast majority of my email if not all since so much email goes through their mail servers. Even if I avoid using GMail, I can’t stop my contacts from doing so. Google knows all my search habits as well.

Amazon knows my spending habits, the list goes on and on. And then there are the traditional means of tracking someone via credit card expenditures or your cell phone provider knowing your whereabouts and usage patterns.

You give away tracking data all the time. The issue is how these companies use that data. If they are doing something nefarious like what Cambridge Analytica did then we should be outraged.

Otherwise it’s just hypocrisy to play the blame game on any one company.
I don't see how this company or other smaller EV companies can compete at the scale a lot of investors think they will be at in the next few years.

Tesla had first to market advantage as well as autopilot to put them at the front of the market, but these companies don't have any of those advantages.

How are they going to compete in the market against Tesla, Ford, VW, GM, Daimler and other big auto companies who are going to be flooding the market with their EV over the next years and out scaling them do to having massive amount of cash, infrastructure, and supply chains already built. While Rivian will be stuck spending massive amount of cash to build infrastructure and supply chains all while playing catch up.

Ford is already outselling Rivian trucks and SUV with their Lighting, and Mach-E models all while being a profitable company.

Rivian is already valued at over half the value of Ford. Where do investors see the growth?

TLDR: Starting from scratch is rarely a good idea. (just read it though, it's not that long).

The fact is that there are lots of good npm packages that have had tons of time and effort put into them, and years of running in production to prove their worth. Yeah there are some dumb packages and micropackages seem like a mistake, but there's no reason to throw it all out.

> I don't think any company would ever get into that space. RIAA (etc) will come after them for not verifying that each user has a license for everything song uploaded

Why should that matter? As long as you're not making songs uploaded by one user available for another user to listen to without them also uploading the same song, it's fair usage. You're allowed to store the bytes wherever you want, it's the (re)distribution that is illegal.

Random thoughts while reading the post:

1) commendable, but

2) the EU shooting in its foot, because

3) large rich American closed source companies will very happy to comply

4) where will they find all the auditors to check the zillion of small open source projects inside node_modules for a commercial project? And who's going to pay them? Again, closed source companies are very happy.
The semantics change. You're now returning a pointer to the actual Rule in the Ruleset, while before you'd be returning a pointer to copy of the Rule.

The optimization would only work if you had a way to tell the compiler that some values are constant/immutable.
At least when I de-appled in 2016, the local info database was accessible for things like MP3 ID info, but it required mapping w/ Python. Moving over to local PC storage was simple through USB (Ubuntu or Fedora as OS at that point, no doubt).

This is kind of a nasty article that just totally ignores the economics of scaling a complex manufacturing company.

The same quarter last year Rivian earned a nominal $1mm. This quarter they produced actual product they sold for $536 million.

I don’t know much about Rivian’s product, but I know people called Tesla “structurally unprofitable” for years. They were totally bankrupt, a fraud, etc…

Fact is that it costs a tremendous amount of money to scale up a car company to the point where volume and margins will lead to profitability and positive free cash flow.

What matters is that they are shipping real cars, and that people who own their cars are nearly fanatical in their love and support for them. If that is true, which I don’t know if it is, then burning money to scale up is the right move.

You seem to be missing the point. If you want to trade crypto in a 10 microsecond window then the exchange, or a trusted broker, needs to be a custodian of your crypto.

What you're suggesting just doesn't fly.

This is why the regulated markets brokers have to stump up collateral and we have clearing houses. You can buy Facebook shares in a microsecond but it takes days to settle and become yours. During that time, you're at risk. Likewise with crypto, even if you settled every few hours on the Blockchain (hideously expensive), there is still a risk window.

tl;dr: Just 88 MW, used solely to extract oil and gas.

Floating wind turbines are considered tricky to maintain, but there are lots more places to put them than sea-floor mounted units. So this farm is insignificant as a power source, but might help demonstrate viability of floating wind, and might help a company now reliant on serving fossil extraction diversify.

Yep, I did nand2tetris on Coursera and it really filled in my intuition for how computers work. It felt like a black box, going from "logic operations" to "the machinery that allows you to write a hello world function that does something", and nand2tetris filled in that gap, building up from how you can persist addressable memory, to how you have a cycle for executing instructions, to how you can have control flow work calling functions and remembering where they came from, to how high-level languages can be translated into low-level code. Very enlightening!
