Legitimacy is more often a spectrum than a binary thing. Rule of law, by which I mean the law itself is the ruler and not the person enforcing it, is a necessary but not sufficient condition. The essence of what we are calling legitimacy is that the government derives its authority from something other than physical force. In a situation like you described, where the ruler themselves isn't personally above the law, the law itself might still derive from "because some authority said so".

For example, you could have a case like China which up until recently had rulers that stepped down every 5 years. I'd call that a textbook example of the rulers themselves being subject to the rules, and indeed regular peaceful transfers of power is something rarely ever seen outside of Democracies. In spite of having some amount of rule of law, China doesn't quite match the way I've defined legitimacy, because the laws of China themselves are ultimately derived from "because the party said so". So the legitimacy of the laws rest on the legitimacy of the communist party. Where does that legitimacy come from? The short answer is "Chinese standard of living better keep trending upwards forever."
As a homeowner building drywall skills is super important and money saving skill. With some basic tools you can easily build super high quality surfaces if you learn how to mud and sand. Drywall is an amazingly maintainable product - my guess is that most homes out there have all kinds of drywall patches applied that behind the walls would look like a horror show but to the casual eye is flawless.

The finish level is housing almost always implies using some product that is mixed with water for the finish level: drywall mud, cement, thinset, etc. The maintainability of these surfaces is key. It certainly is a natural maxima: cheap and easily workable. Even if the wall surface is really bad you can easily apply a skim coat and your wall looks new. What the article didn't touch on is that there certainly is room here for automation at scale: the process of installing many panels, taping, mudding, etc does require skill. There are videos out there of robots doing this work but not sure if it competes with a crew of skilled workers.

I don't find the finish on cars to have this same kind of maintainability. Fixing / matching paint on a car is hard for me.

I left some details out of the post to make it shorter.

What I’m actually is doing is generating a 7-digit incremental number followed by a fixed 0. Some UIs show 7 characters and some show 8, this felt like a nice compromise. Plus it’s easier to distinguish between the prefix and the suffix when looking at the full SHA when they are always separated by a 0.
When it comes to running in the "cloud", I'd probably go for Hetzner. Way way way cheaper than the examples mentioned in this post. I guess the main question is, how much is privacy really worth to you - or what other alternatives are there that meet my demands ie. Mapbox?

Think I'll give this a go, always have wanted to run my own instance of OSM, to see how performant it is/how much traffic you can handle on a single server.
Even if unemployment is 10%. This is an average, truck drivers, retail, etc. In tech, there is no 10%. You will find a new job quickly and easily. dont worry about this.
It's a little unclear what they mean here, but that can easily be because of a service/system server model. The third party apps use things like "icloud daemon" (not sure that one actually exists) which does the iCloud request and passes along the data back to the app. Because the logs are generated with a high privilege level, they are also including what icloud daemon did for those specific apps, but those apps did not get access to that DSID, it was kept internal to icloudd.

If the journalists or whomever wants to claim the DSID is leaky, then they need to show a POC with an app actually obtaining that DSID, and not only in a system logger that only saves files sandboxed locally, or sends to Apple.
Depends on what it's used for imo. I've got the same setup and--apart from some sexism in the voice recognition--the basics work flawlessly. Once it's up and running it's trivial to set timers, check the weather, do basic unit conversions, etc...

Maybe once a month it freezes and it just needs to be restarted, anyone can do that who can get used to talking to a robot in the first place.

The more complicated stuff, I agree is not fit for people who aren't comfortable with a terminal. I also use it to control my lights and play spotify, but I'm only able to do that because I'm comfortable messing around with it and have the skills (and desire) to debug it when it breaks every other week.

It's nowhere near as polished as Alexa or similar, but it's good for the basics or for hobbyists who don't want to be spied on.

If you don't mind elaborating i'm curious about this workflow / perspective.

1. What are the daily updates/planning providing to other team members / management? Are they stored like a git log somewhere for people to reference?

2. If you use a ticket queue/system would this seem redundant as your boss could just look at the queue, ticket comments, git commits, etc?

3. Do you have a project you support regularly or if a new project comes online how would management relate your update to the progress of the project?

4. Does the industry you work in have some strict bounds that you can pre-determine what you are going to do day-by-day? Otherwise what purpose do the daily updates + the write up on your plan for the next day serve?

5. If you have an issue that spans multiple days are you just giving a high-level overview or something else?

> There are other things that can bring a site down, like [...] too much traffic[.] But generally speaking those things are rare and don't bring down an entire site.

I agree with your assessment, but I do want to highlight that this condition is not rare for Twitter. Load is very spiky, sometimes during predictable periods (e.g., the World Cup, New Year's Eve) and sometimes during unpredictable periods (e.g., Queen Elizabeth II's death, the January 6th US Capitol attack). It isn't going to cause a total site failure (anymore), but it can degrade user experience in subtle or not-so-subtle ways.

An aside on the "anymore", there was a time when the entire site did go down due to high-traffic events. A lot of the complication in the infrastructure was built to add resiliency and scalability to the backend services to allow Twitter to handle these events more gracefully. That resiliency is going to help keep the services up even if maintenance is understaffed and behind a learning curve.

Merkle trees are an incredible technology too.

My point? There are many incredible technologies, but not all are "secret weapons" that justify a seismic industry shift. Not all are suitable or able to upend existing technologies.

Personally, I agree. My girlfriend often watches DVDs on our 50" HD TV and I don't understand why she does it because the quality is so bad. For a lot of people it's good enough apparently...

But to my point, this is really the only benefit of DVD to Blu-Ray - a sharper image when viewed on a large HD TV.

VHS on the other hand had noticeable visual artifacts and would degrade with use. They didn't feature all of the extra DVDs had like subtitles, director commentary, and other extra content. They had no chapter selection / skip. VHS tapes were bulky and difficult to store. It was just an inferior format to DVD in so many ways.

On the other hand I think you can argue DVDs are still perfectly fine when viewing on smaller TVs.

I worked as an engineer for a very large non tech company (but used a lot of tech, both bought and in-house). We had 100s of teams supporting services, internal apps (web and mobile), external apps (web and mobile), and connections to vendors plus a huge infrastructure in the real world that interconnected to all of this. One time someone changed something in a single data center (I vaguely remember some kind of DNS or routing update) and every single system worldwide failed in a short time. Even after the issue was resolved, it took most of a day and hundreds of people to successfully restart everything, all while our actual business had to continue without pissing off all of our customers. The triage was brutal as to what mattered most.

You can't do this without a lot of people. Sure you could pare it down, maybe improve some architecture, but without a ton of people involved who understand the systems and how they connect, when things might go south they may never return.

These are interesting examples, because Dave Chappelle was a genuinely good comic but he had a rocky comeback after a prolonged absence (understandable) took it badly and started lashing out at kids-these-days, then "cancel culture" and then drifted into what we see today. Ricky Gervais has written some pretty spectacular comedy, but his stand-up has never been particularly well respected. He has often tried to go for shock value, but it's never been that shocking (certainly nothing like Jerry Sadowitz), creative or - most importantly - funny.

None of these guys got suddenly deplatformed, cancelled or boycotted because of a joke. They struggled a bit, made some missteps then blamed their audience and "cancel culture" when it wasn't well received. They can still be funny, but when they're airing their grievances about that (i.e. doing the stuff that the right like) it's obvious, awkward and a bit painful.

There was another post[0] on here today about Amazon losing $10B on Alexa this year. The only other big player is Google who I assume must also run the division at a big loss - at least on the hardware side of things as I've got loads of their devices dotted around the house most were given to me free or at a stupidly low cost (£20 each). Even the ones like this with a full colour screen I've only paid £49 for.

It's an interesting market that I don't think either has figured out too well. Anecdotally, I've not really seen them used for shopping or even really shopping lists and the search model doesn't seem quite as lucrative as if someone used their phone or computer to search.

The one thing they do seem to do well in is as an introduction to - and hub for - the smarthome but I struggle to see how that will make these big subsides viable.

Which brings us back to this. A bit ahead of it's time perhaps but if Amazon/Google pull back their subsidies then this kind of thing might be where we have to go. I'd be happier not using Google Home and have mostly moved to zigbee switches with home assistant to control now anyway. Maybe voice control was a bit of a flash in the pan?

My opinion, unfortunately, is that I don't have a clue :-(. I immigrated as a teenager with my parents a quarter of a century ago as a refugee. Things are different now. Canada wasn't even our top five choice at the time, but BOY are we glad they took us on so many levels. I'm a very happy and very proud Canadian now.

Canada is actively supporting Immigration. Unlike our neighbours, pretty much all mainstream political parties across the spectrum acknowledge our need to bring fresh blood in (though we are getting more and more extremist parties which are seeing more success). But as to chances of any individual case? I'm sorry I haven't a foggiest idea. It's a point system and a long grind and lots of luck. You never know until you try, and my advice like with everything else is don't put all your eggs in one basket - there's new Zealand and Scandinavian countries and million other places I'd be happy to live in.

How does [2, 2) make sense?
In the case of delusions, as this mentally unstable person you describe seems to have, the prescriptions should be better handled for them first because the prescriptions that someone needs to take the control that stuff sucks. The side effects suck. Sometimes the side effects suck more than being delusional. It's really easy to say that they should be taking the medication to make themselves less of a threat to other people but then you really have to think about compliance issues and the reasons why they probably stop taking the medication. There really isn't any sort of silver bullet medication for delusions that doesn't just completely fuck with you in many ways. Like yeah you're not having paranoid delusions anymore but you really have to sit down all day and you can't stop shaking your legs because your legs just have to be moving all the time and you're having problems controlling your muscles when you try to grip things and your mouth is always dry and your eyes hurt... But hey at least you're not delusional right you're totally thinking about how you're not harming anyone else right now and not how you really would just not like to be on these medications anymore so you could feel not uncomfortable anymore.
It seems entirely possible to create a tool for making little languages that also supports interfaces for tooling and documentation. Tooling is actually quite abysmal for general purpose languages and as the article points out the tooling for little languages can be much more powerful when there’s a smaller surface area. Also we could build languages that are primarily geared around tooling and documentation instead of languages designed around different manners of defining functions and iterating over lists.

I also don’t think that anyone has ever suggested that making a custom language is a small endeavor.

Whatever the future of programming languages it will definitively not be popular at first and negative criticisms will be the top-rated commentary. And when the new paradigm comes I can almost guarantee that the majority of the HN crowd will be too old and set in its ways to make the transition. Why would the future be any different than the past with regards to paradigms shifts?
> What does workplace monitoring have to do with global conflicts?

Let me make it clearer: I feel that the sine 2008 we've been living in an era that resembles the gilded age, and that Amazon is the closest analogue to the robber barons (oil and steel) of that time who exploited and ravaged as they pleased. Workplace monitoring doesn't have anything to do with global conflicts, but workplace intimidation is the norm for these type of Industry-titans who feel they can and do get away with anything with a small fine and legal fees.

> Doesn't this type of stuff (eg. anti-capitalism/consumerism protests) happen every black friday? They're always hyped up to be some huge event, but when the day comes it's always underwhelming. The article you linked yourself makes no mention of participants, for instance.

At the Global level, entered entirely towards this grotesque behemothafter the abysmal record for it's labour poliies? No, I don't think it has even reahed this scope. It's less to do with anti-capitalism/consumerism protests as that is what employees these people, on more to do with workplace reform.

This is also worth noting in ase you didn't read it:

Make Amazon Pay, a coalition of workers and activists, is organizing Black Friday protests to demand the retail giant raise wages, pay more taxes and reduce its carbon footprint, according to its website. The strikes are set to take place at factories, warehouses, data centers, corporate offices and oil refineries across the world, including sites in Minnesota, California, Boston and New York City.
Well, let’s see. IG was acquired by FB in April 2012 and had somewhere above 10M users at the time. Around the same time, Twitter had around 140M accounts in US alone, nearly 500M worldwide. Do we want to continue the apples vs oranges comparison further. Happy to keep citing scale differences. :)

I would love to see this as a plugin for an IDE like Visual Studio or Qt Creator. The diagram commands would be in comments, and the graphic representation rendered in-line with the source code.
This is factually untrue though. Twitter was making money in 2018 and 2019 (to the tune of ~1.2B/year in net profit out of ~3B revenue, which is a fairly high profit margin) they lost quite a bit of money in 2020 and less in the years thereafter. However, even in the years where they had negative net income EBITDA remained positive suggesting the losses were upfront investments that would be expected to be amortized over the coming years.

The only reason Twitter is in deep financial shit right now is because Elon acquired it in a leveraged buyout and the cost of servicing the debt is estimated around 1B/year.
I get your point that both of these are specialized notations/terminologies, but it's entirely possible for somebody to understand algorithmic complexity without knowing what "a rack, a host, a DC" is, there's no inherent connection between the two. As somebody whose interests tend to be more theoretical than practical, myself prior to reading the article would be an example.

> transactions don't even involve Ether at all aside from the payment of the fee. Ethereum is a virtual machine that charges for compute time.

Yes, a stupendously inefficient computation on a distributed machine that's only selling feature is that it does not have a central failure point, either technical or legal. The only application that has been found to date for this computation model is settling financial transactions outside traditional regulatory regimes, so all the discussion is predicated on the profitability of this business. You proposed that trading fees could make the model profitable, I countered that it clearly does not.

Perhaps in the future it could be used to cure cancer or put people in orbit, web5 and all that vapor, but to date it's a payment/settlement network.

> The vast majority of stock buyers do not expect to earn from the eventual dividends, rather they speculate on the stock itself, they hold it because it will appreciate in the future.

That's exactly what I claim, crypto is similar to a stock with near zero dividends long term, pure speculation, close to zero fundamental value (or at least, extremely overvalued in regards to its actual technical merits). "But other people bought Enron stock and many people got rich trading it" does not really contradict my point of view, sure, suckers and their money can be parted in many ways.

> money stock velocity of dollars on PayPal, I'm sure we would see that it is orders of magnitude higher than the general supply of all dollars out there.

I'm willing to bet the exact opposite is true: the real world (non-crypto related, NFTs, ICOs etc.) trade enabled by Ethereum and subchains is a very small fraction of the trillion dollar or so that would be implied by its stock valuation multiplied by typical monetary velocities. Alas, no trustworthy data is likely to exist, so each must use their gut feelings.

An example that really stuck with me is that you can draw an arrow on a blank piece of paper and measure its length and direction without needing to define an x/y coordinate system on the paper. There is something there (the manifold and the action?) that is independent from the ways we can choose to describe the space.
