My devil's advocate take is that this is downstream of corporate consolidation. Corporate consolidation IMO has become easier with greater economies of scale achievable with far better communication, shipping networks, and generally global connectivity.

If CEO's of today on average leading companies that are orders of magnitude larger than in the 70's (CEO has 100-1000 people in the company in 70's vs 1,000-100,000 today), then the jump in pay isn't surprising. If the CEO is driving the direction of a company and those decisions affect orders of magnitude more workers and orders of magnitude more revenue, then it follows that they can get a higher salary. They might not be any better, but the stakes of their decisions are bigger.
Some good starting points:

- Building Microservices: Designing Fine-Grained Systems, Sam Newman

- Domain-Driven Design, Eric Evans
Funny, because there is a crummy form of Google maps present into he SERP, and it behaves completely differently from actual Google maps. It constantly annoys me, usually when searching for a business, that something that looks exactly like google maps, in Google, doesn't behave the same as google maps.
> It's not their creation, it's their idea.

Except in the cases where they literally create it? Every single idea and business started with a small group of people and often just a single person. Sometimes they create it, sometimes they pay someone else to create it.

If they pay someone to create it, do you think that person should take ownership in the company? Ok, maybe they should, but of course if they are taking part ownership they have to accept less cash right? Turns out most people don't want to deal with that risk and don't want to be paid in equity.
I don't much know about SpaceX, but I stopped at "Tesla being objectively successful." Nothing at all indicates that for me. It's definitely popular and making big moves, but so did FTX. Given empty promises, shoddy design, crypto and other financial f**ery, etc, I see no good reason to strongly believe Tesla is in anything for the long haul.
Depends on the range, as long as its within 260 miles or so for anything available on the market right now. Tesla claiming up to 500 miles in the future but who knows if they are actually working on that given Musk's current distraction.

There's no doubt about it, which again underscores the importance of good choices. Babies aren't dropped off by a stork. You have to insert semen into a woman's body on one of like three days each month. Don't do that!

And just to re-emphasize something I said in another comment: people make mistakes and this is an extraordinarily wealthy society. I'm a strong proponent of a welfare state. I don't want anybody to starve because they made bad choices. But getting pregnant when you're young and poor is correctly described as a bad choice! Ejaculating inside a woman who is ovulating isn't something that happens to you while you're sleeping.

The correct message to somebody who has fallen through the ice in the middle of a lake on a winter morning is, "let me help you."

The correct message to everybody else is that there are things you can do to avoid falling through the ice.
In this case it means "Domain-specific language". SQL is a great example of a DSL. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain-specific_language
This is not the case for me. I just now searched in mobile Chrome for "Lakeview Chicago" and the mini-map static image has a purple outline around the neighborhood. Clicking on that took me to Google maps with the neighborhood outlined in a red dotted line (which is harder to see, but obscures less of the other features/labels on the map). This was on Android, in the maps app, just now, but I've seen the same thing in a desktop browser.
Perhaps it is a bit like setting your mobile phone to grayscale, to try to make it less addictive.

Less charitably, you can't patent the saturated fat in regular whipped cream, but you can patent a lack of it, and make a lifetime of rewards licensing the process to do so. That's why the saturated fat is bad.

It's a well trod business formula - demonize a certain common nutrient and sell the alternative. First it was fats, then it was sugars, now there's a bitter war amongst alternative sweeteners to prove the other ones cause cancer, since they're not even a nutrient and can't be demonized with the 'you'll get fat!' play. Of course there's all the tangent battlegrounds like the aluminum in baking powders meme. I actually think that one predates the fat-free obsession.

I think we're all worse off from these nested cycles of chicanery.

well, there's more than one person on this website.

also, a lot of these projects have been on a slow simmer for a long time, and are only just now starting to become complete and interesting.

Leaving aside the question of why you like to buy American… note that AMD is American too.

From the article:

“The fact that an offshore hedge fund that was basically a crypto firm was buying a stake in a tiny bank for multiples of its stated book value should have raised massive red flags for the F.D.I.C., state regulators and the Federal Reserve,” said Camden Fine, a bank industry consultant who used to head the Independent Community Bankers of America. “It’s just astonishing that all of this got approved.”

So much for regulators/regulations.
To expand the scale so they can provide their creation to more people. If the employees can gain control most creators will simply choose to keep their creations small in scale so they can maintain their freedom. Often the only way people are convinced to part with this control is copious amounts of money.
I'm not appreciative enough, but I'm grateful for the warm technological blanket into which I was born and have lived. There are so many things that would have killed me 100 or 1000 years ago, that I and my family haven't had to deal with.

I'm grateful for this community, for DanG and the others who keep it moderated and running.

I'm grateful for the internet, and BBSs before that, and Printing, writing, language, all of the tech...sooooo much tech.
I'm a little bit disappointed in the downvotes, though if no one ends up contacting me, my life goes on as normal. I do want to make one thing clear, however, when I say cost money, I mean perhaps for the change in what you eat, the cost of a doctor visit to make sure you don't have a thyroid problem, etc.
The EU recently passed the Digital Service Act which expecting regulates very large platforms, like Twitter. Curious to see when Twitter gets the first "dark pattern" fine.
I look down on Newegg more for its marketplace strategy because it distracted from a niche it served well. By the time Amazon was doing its marketplace, it was already selling everything, so I didn't notice.

Our patron saint has this to say about it

> For example, let's attack poverty, and if necessary damage wealth in the process. That's much more likely to work than attacking wealth in the hope that you will thereby fix poverty. [9] And if there are people getting rich by tricking consumers or lobbying the government for anti-competitive regulations or tax loopholes, then let's stop them. Not because it's causing economic inequality, but because it's stealing. [10]

> If all you have is statistics, it seems like that's what you need to fix. But behind a broad statistical measure like economic inequality there are some things that are good and some that are bad, some that are historical trends with immense momentum and others that are random accidents. If we want to fix the world behind the statistics, we have to understand it, and focus our efforts where they'll do the most good.

Taken alone that sentence applies equally well to any system of government.
Are you sure? I tried at least 7 other online shops recently, the experience is amazing compared to amazon.

Returns are as easy as scanning a barcode at the post office. Product reviews are meaningful and don't have bi-modal distributions. Spam and knocks offs are non-existing.

The only downside is that I pay slightly more for shipping but arguably I am biased to believe that logistics couriers should have a living wage.
Zoning for who? America has no issue with single family zoning.

I’m assuming you’re speaking about middle and high density zoning. Since the issues you're describing are extremely common for those zoning projects.
Can you point to any one thing he said which no one else has said before? Maybe an insightful comment to help understand his "relevant perspective"?

He got a degree from MIT, did a year at Jane Street, but is unable to keep basic financial records??? This doesn't make sense to me, and seems like obvious fraud.
I’m partial to the Lake Wobegon explanation, which gets a mention in the article:

> Alluding to the fictional town in the radio program A Prairie Home Companion, Clifford (2017) describes the Lake Wobegon world of setting CEO compensation that fuels its growth: Every firm wants to believe its CEO is above average and therefore needs to be correspondingly remunerated.

In other words, CEO pay isn’t just a way of attracting CEO talent, it’s also a way of signaling to investors that you have a good CEO. After all, who wants to invest in a company whose CEO (by the compensation committee’s own reckoning) is worse than average! This is rational for an individual company, but has the aggregate effect of inflating CEO compensation for everyone.
To me the distinction is largely in the eyes of the user. Most modern programming languages have facilities to achieve a wide range of goals.

I think the question "is there a programming language made specifically for X?", is far less important than the question "is there a language in which I can do X, efficiently/securely/scalable/...?"

There are some languages which are clearly domain specific. Markdown is not a general computing language.

I have chronic tachycardia and during normal daily activity it's common for it to hover around 90-100. During exercise it easily goes over 100. I've also gotten it checked. They had me wear an EKG device for a few days and did a blood test for thyroid issues, but other than "Yup, it's very fast", they didn't really get much more revealing information. I figure so as long as it doesn't cause me discomfort I'll try not to worry about it too much.
Innovation, oh my, sometimes it feels like the fat ones (and, by proxy, everyone else) are living in some alternate fantasy world where the mantra "you're not gonna need it" is taken to the extreme, so they're not even trying.

The pendulum should swing back to complex and more complicated interfaces sometime — but right now these are the dark times where, for example, Netflix, this huge, popular movie and show library, doesn't even have a way to find out exactly what movies with some actor or director it has available. It's hard for me to wrap my head around that.

Your project does look useful and on point though!
Your company comes to your home to deploy internet for you? Fancy!
Any one discovery isn't going to suffice. Building a bunch of technologies to make that discovery usable and profitable is hard and long work.

We know for years that carbon nanotubes can make great, very compact, very fast transistors. There's nothing close to a practical application of this discovery, because we barely know how to make nanotubes in tiny amounts, a handful of labs, at a great expense.
I also blame Intel as the reason ECC memory is not the standard in everything.

Its not uncommon in the UK but the big investors tend to be funds and their managers are part of the same class that benefits from ever increasing executive compensation. So they rarely vote against.
We look this awesome technology called the Internet and turned it into an ad pipeline.
There are a number of DSLs for specific tasks, such as eBPF or Dtrace filters, Julia Lawall’s semantic patches, DSLs for device driver development or writing system call emulators and many more.

A DSL covering more and different parts of OS development would probably have to be so general that it doesn’t make sense not to use a general purpose language…
i’m not sure exactly when it happened, but i slowly lost confidence shipping on amazon. too much crap and too many fake reviews. at some point it began to make sense to just go to a store again—as it turns out also means i make a decision about how much i actually need something.

amazon fucked up bad by chasing growth at all costs. sounds like a lot of tech companies these days.
Yes, for some 10 years at least.

If you go read what his article said, it's very clear and incontestable ended. Still, that doesn't stop a bunch of people that have no idea what Moore's Law was about from claiming whatever they want to.

Anyway, where did you hear Moore's Law ended 30 years ago? That one doesn't make sense.
I mean yes it's true that JP Morgan isn't going to go bankrupt if they cash some bad checks but at the end of the day that's money that could go to opening new branches, hiring employees, paying bonuses or depositors more interest. The cost to society is the same it's just distributed over a larger number of people.
Wood structures in Switzerland can last an extremely long time. My relatives own a farm in the Bernese Oberland and the main farmhouse/barn is made almost entirely from wood and is at least 300 years old. There is a neighbor's farm house that has wooden beams in it that, after some investigation, the owner thinks are more than 500 years old. Another family member owns a wooden home (near Mammern) that is about 150 years old.
The lethargy is might well be due to the drastic caloric deficit your loss of appetite induced.
Yes there are multiple people here, but the general sentiment was negative among most threads.

Go ahead and look over any Mastodon thread a year ago or before.

Generally it was dismissed with "oh it's too niche" or "moderation will be too difficult".

People ignored the communities already on it and the tech overall.

Only until people got pissy about Elon running Twitter instead of hedge funds did the general sentiment here change.

It wasn't about the tech, and not even about Elon specifically, it was the Twitter safe space got taken away.

But now hopefully the people who want that safe space will isolate themselves in mastodon instances that block all others and we can all live in peace from them.
Thankful for the mods here, especially @dang!
One of the Contributors here, if you use Azure Blob you'll use some of my code. Have fun moving Petabytes, it works quite well.
yeah, but MAGA is even more diffuse and ineffective as a movement than Occupy was

Occupy was seriously thinking about killing the rich, but MAGA just has some nebulous ideas that there are pedophile cannibals sneaking around and that social media and the news are heavily biased

Plus there's the fact that Occupy Wall Street was popular among pretty much everyone below a certain wealth level, but now everyone from that demographic is split up into smaller groups who hate each other: MAGA, Bernie Bros, "Hillary/Biden or You're A Nazi", etc
I make monitoring/automation software for 3D printers, and I'm thinking about adding a "make something every day" achievement to help with this. I'm collecting handy/functional prints (like the OP) to make it easy to achieve.

It takes a lot of activation AND creative energy to figure out something useful/functional to print, then execute on your vision.
MOVIE PLOT: Refined hedge fund/blackmail ring whisks potential CEOs to private island, gets candidates all liquored-up, at which point children engage in 'activities' with them.

This is all recorded.

Later, CEOs invest large chunks of their salaries in the 'hedge fund'.

Evidence never quite leaks, as the 'hedge fund' has quite a few customers in various public offices.

Oh, never mind. Too far-fetched. Couldn't be happening. Right in front of everyone. Now.
> Plenty of people hopelessly throw money at politicians.

Those people throw tens or hundreds of dollars. Not tens of millions of dollars. Big difference.

> Again, there is a paranoid subculture that assumes every donation brings legislative power

No I don't believe the $3 Bernie was asking for would bring any legislative power but $30,000,000?
Here is the original song. Hearing a young Arlo Guthrie making all these jokes to an audience who hasn't heard them a million times is the best. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m57gzA2JCcM

But later he added a part to the end - here's a link to the new part https://youtu.be/TuSBv5xim-o?t=1020 And if you've heard the original before, I do recommending skipping back to the beginning and listening to this one at least once, because hearing an old Arlo tell the story to an audience who has memorized every word and is still engaged and listening intently is also pretty special.
I find the comments and discussion often provide far more value compared to the actual articles. Especially when it comes to links about health. Lots of pseudoscience out there and very grateful for the knowledgeable community to shed light on it when it shows up.
Yes, I currently use the Read Aloud Android App and it allows me to use any installed TTS. The Google free network TTS voices are quite okay, but I know that there are better premium voices unfortunately I didn't found any high quality human like TTS in the play store as of yet.

Why do you think that the CCP built the great firewall, rather then threatening to throw anyone on earth who says anything that offends them, or who enables other to say things that offend them, into prison?
I saw the popup and literally kept scrolling. Because it appeared perfectly centered on the amazon screenshot and I thought it was part of the screenshot. And as I scrolled more stuff got added to the screenshot.

It's a Poe's law world we live in.
How likely are the odds their proposed solutions will result in better pay for workers? Rather than just higher tax rates?

Only one mentions workers pay:

> setting corporate tax rates higher for firms that have higher ratios of CEO-to-worker compensation

Even that doesn't seem like a good incentive to pay workers more.

It's also not clear how the IRS is going to evaluate CEO pay -> yearly tax rate when this study uses 'realized gains' which often happen well after the fact, since CEOs are paid with stock/equity. The study mentions almost all of the growth has been via the % of stocks CEOs now get, not their actual salary.
This is nice in theory. What do you think happens in practice? People have two primary motivations for starting businesses. Money and independence. For the half that value independence, they will not hire people and all their businesses will remain lifestyle businesses.

I actually don't think it's nice in theory either btw. How does employee control benefit society at large? It only benefits employees. Employees will just pay themselves as much as they can for the least amount of work possible. It's the same reason price controls on housing are dumb. It just creates an entrenched class of individuals. If adding more employees to the business means the employee share of profit shrinks, they will just hire less.
Your comment is right above someone saying RJ-45 may be the worst connector! That’s just the internet I guess.

I think both opinions are right. If you’re a professional working in the field, RJ-45/8P8C is awesome because you can do large runs of cable and crimp on connectors after which is a lifesaver. The longevity of the connector is less important than ease of installation/replacement. I’ve done a little work with marine ethernet and CAN which uses M8/M12 circular connectors and those are pretty painful in contrast.

For consumers, it’s exactly the opposite. They’re unlikely to have the tools to crimp connectors. Most cables off Amazon come with lots of plastic that makes the cables rigid so it’s a pain to route and use in a home.
I feel it's not a stretch to say your average ceo has more than 399x impact however.

A 'simple decision' such as do I approve this product or not can make or break a company. The iPhone is a great example, it was far from considered a slam dunk money printer at the time. You can still find old articles from people wondering why you would want to browse the web on a phone.
This is important! Thank you so much for sharing. It is a lot of the times up to us to make ourselves happy
The simplest system uses the fewest moving parts to accomplish the goal. Some of Arch's ideas, like PKGBUILDs, are pretty simple. But ultimately Arch is just another typical mainstream Linux distribution with glibc, GNU coreutils, systemd, PAM, etc. These tools are all severely bloated and over-complex, and many simpler alternatives exist which solve the same problems with much less.

As for "small", well, it varies, but Arch systems tend to bloat more with time as the system does not provide much for auditing and cleaning up your system, so the older an arch install gets, the more garbage it accumulates. Arch also tends to turn on as many options as possible for each of the things it packages, so many packages have a lot of optional dependencies made mandatory. This is not a unique problem to Arch; only Gentoo (and maybe Nix and friends) solve this one, and they have many other problems to contend with.

All of this is not to say that Arch is necessarily a poor choice. It's just not simple, nor small.

Actually, at least in Helsinki part of the rising costs of housing in the centre has been attributed to so called vacation housing, where apartments have been bought by rich people from abroad or rural areas, yet occupied maybe a couple of days/weeks a year, or rented out as an airbnb flat. I'm not saying its a major factor, but still an indicator that theres more than enough money to spend for some people, for them to take out from the 'necessities' pool, just to achieve some form of luxury.
