There's a really easy, yet unconscionably horrible experiment we could perform to test the assumption that we're preprogrammed with any sort of knowledge.

Take a baby and stick it in a room. Let it grow up with absolutely no stimulation whatsoever. They are given food and that's about it. What do you think it can demonstrate knowledge of by the time it reaches 5? 10? 15?

All behavior is learned behavior. People talk about sucking and breathing and walking horses and what not, but babies do have to learn how to latch and how to feed. Now, they can work it out themselves. But quick acquisition of a skill does not mean the skill already existed.

Not to mention it's a far cry from sucking to language. Or knowing what a person is. Or who a person is.
I'm confused about what is actually going on here. The FDA claims [1] that Tianeptine can't be used as a supplement ingredient so selling it should be illegal. That was from 2018 so there is no reason it should still be able to be sold.

Notwithstanding, The FDA could simply put Tianeptine on the controlled substances list.

That argument is intellectually dishonest at best. Alcohol causes physical and psychological addiction as well, but its effects are well known and it isn't marketed as a dietary supplement.

You also need serious abuse with alcohol to get to a point where you are spending every paychecks on booze and become non-functioning like the people that are described in the article. Alcohol addiction does not happen over a week.

Finally it all comes down to the ratio of casual users vs addicted users. Millions (perhaps billions) of people drink alcohol and a fraction have serious addiction issues with it. Same goes for caffeine. They are not comparable.

Having worked in a multi-area/multi-time-zoned company and teams, and having tried to coordinate all these along with the political games: it is a different beast to be remote some times a week and a different beast to try to coordinate with your own team spread around the world.

I help with podcasts at Substack. Substack is a podcast-hosting platform like the others you describe (although in my biased opinion we have a number of other great features that set us apart). Most of the podcasts on Substack are hosted and distributed by Substack. A few Substack podcasts do point back at other platforms, but this isn't the norm.

Writers can embed youtube videos in their posts. When they do, those are hosted on youtube.

However, Substack also has our own hosted videos (see https://on.substack.com/p/video-on-substack).

"The rest of us? We truly don't know what you have to go through when you quit."

You have had to deal with the fallout and loss. My mum died from cancer when I was about 25. It was a female only variety - I forget the exact name. She had an initial onslaught which was diagnosed in reasonable time, an operation that she described as "quite unpleasant" and a course of radiotherapy. I should probably point out that "quite unpleasant" is a euphemism.

... remission ... all clear ... ... oh sorry its back ... palliative care. Funeral.

Losing a parent early is horrible, even when you are nominally grown up. You should have at least 20-40 years as an adult with your parents, if only so they can ram the point home about what responsibility really looks like as you foist your ankle biters off on the oldies so you can get some respite.

Sorry, we were discussing the fall out from addiction. Yes, it is horrific. Your dad gave up and that is quite an important thing. That shows he tried to do his best for himself and especially - his family. He was old enough and ugly enough to know exactly what was happening ... and he did his best, his very best: that I am sure of.
I absolutely understand that argument, but this seems like one of the few cases where this tremendous consolidation provides a net public benefit. Despite its flaws, YouTube is still an excellent platform and resource, and it seems that video streaming is still impossible to do well without Google-level resources.

I honestly think there isn't a good solution here. If Google didn't prop up YouTube, we would lose the utility of free* video streaming and hosting. Other than Google, it seems like the only organizations in the world with the resources to maintain YouTube would be far worse (i.e. governments).

This isn't to say Google shouldn't be broken up, but YouTube's existence is perhaps the best argument against it.
Funnily enough esports also somewhat exist in mobile phones. Take a look at Free Fire [0], here in Brazil (3rd world country) It's pretty popular and has brought some people from poverty to a comfortable living.

Also I still believe after the initial investment for a PC or game console then playing competitively just has too low of a barrier compared to normal sports. Remember to play a real sport you need friends, or at least people who accept you, there needs to not be raining (or for there to be an indoor space), everyone needs to be available. Since in videogames you can do matchmaking with low latency with a whole continent that means finding VERY competitive matches is easy, while in real life the skills of each players varies a lot, making the games played day-to-day much more casual. The difference between a casual football game and a FIFA WC game is insane, the difference between a well-played high rank match in CS:GO and the ones played in torunaments is minimal in comparison, specially if using something like Faceit to matchmake.

The secret to Windows is that you skip every other version. Microsoft knows people know this, so Windows 11 is kind of one of those things that only new computers and super fans install. The weird TPM requirement seals the deal for many enthusiasts.

I have no idea what you do if you're on Windows 8 though. That was one of the ones you were supposed to skip ;)
I am no MBA but how do mass market auto makers defend margins like these in the presence of robust competition? Porsche is a brand built basically on top of VW infrastructure and they painfully win their high margins from expensive add-ons to cars which are (mostly) shared platforms with VW and Audi. Can Tesla carve out a similar niche? If you look at value, Teslas are not at the top of the list in terms of quality or the percentage by which their batteries empirically under/over-perform their range ratings. Consumers are slowly coming to learn how to compare EVs and no matter how well things go for Tesla I am a bit skeptical that their profit margins will survive fully intact.

Generally every recommendation I've heard is don't use hardware RAID.

Some of the problems:

* RAID cards usually have under powered CPUs, and can easily be a bottleneck. Often the best performance with a RAID card is with the RAID disabled.

* Even battery backed RAM is often pretty slow and on the wrong end of a high latency connection between CPU/RAM and disks. Generally investments in ram or intentlog/writelog/slog is a better investment.

* Metadata is often undocumented, often needs backed up via obscure device dependent methods, and is required for a RAID adapter failure

* The firmware is often buggy, especially in the handling of the numerous failure modes.

* Recovery often requires the same card with the same firmware and a copy of the backed up metadata. Not all cards can recover all metadata from just the drives.

* Often are "too" smart, and won't export raw drives for use with more advanced filesystems like btrfs or ZFS. Some require ugly work arounds like exporting each disks as a single disk RAID0.

* Often RAID cards hide the SMART info from the OS, often crippling the ability to predict drive failures. Or hides the functionality behind a weird software stack that assumes a SMTP server and integrated poorly into whatever monitoring/alerting system you use for the operating system.

* Some RAID cards require a network connection and run a buggy and insecure out of data web stack on some undocumented and rarely (if ever) patched CPU that was obsolete the day it shipped.
I think the important thing is lost. Average is useless for determining if a grid (and it is not THE grid, since localities have bottlenecks) can support a load in time. Maybe it can, but the on statistic given as evidence is an average, which doesn't help explain anything one way OR the other.

Also, I'm not sure I can get behind the logic about peak times either way until we discuss how rolling blackouts would affect this.

It probably sounds like I have a side in this, but I do not. I do not currently own an EV, but that is due to up front costs (I do not even buy ICE cars new, the prices are insane for an asset that only depreciates). My daily commute makes me want to own one, actually. However, I do have an interest in making sure we are not saying flamboyant things like "electric cars cause less indirect pollution" without making even an attempt to quantify it, or saying unhelpful things about how the average load of an EV relates to whether a grid can support a lot of them.
There's a bias for empiricism. People don't believe stuff until there's 50 years worth of data and 1000 politically correct and carbon neutral peer-reviewed papers on it. It must be approved by ethical panels and experts on TV. Only then it becomes science™.

>I'd argue 'good enough' process is all you need even with average teams.

That's sort of a tautology, right? If it's 'good enough', that implies it's a good process. In my experience, Scrum is a good enough process, with very little wasted overhead. It keeps the team focused, limits their in-flight work, unblocks them and offers regular iterations with feedback.

I'd agree that over-optimization is sometimes a problem, but when something as simple as scrum fails, it's usually down to the basics, like poor meeting practices, or micromanagement, or something outside of the development process entirely, like badly underbidding the project. No amount of process will save a project that was doomed from the start due to poor budgeting of time or money.
The potential for powered flight was clear to those who observed and didn't think they were lying. The Wright Brothers sold their improved designs to the US Army in 1908, just six years after their initial flight. 15 years after said initial flight you have massive formations of planes Dogfighting over France, conducting reconnaissance and dropping bombs.

15 years after whatever this breakthrough is will anything have changed outside of the lab? That remains to be seen, but I'll believe it when we see the data.

There are guides all over the internet (https://urbanarmor.org/portfolio/miss-my-face/ seems rather effective) but I doubt such clothes will gain any popularity any time soon. I'm also wary of the impact all the IR light emitted from some of these powerful LED lights on the human eye; remaining flood-lighted by invisible light, especially late at night, seems rather risky to me.

All efforts I can find seem rather amateurish. Very little light diffusion on the IR LEDs, or even entire LED strips wrapped around oneself as a way to get a bigger spread.
Open Source Software: A (New?) Development Methodology (1988)
I've never lost data with btrfs, but I have purposefully avoided anything other than basic disk configurations. I use it on my workstations because it's the default in Fedora these days and haven't had any complaints.

On the flip-side, I've done some of the most horrible things possible and screwed up my 30-disk ZFS array a number of times and I've never lost data. I doubt btrfs could recover from anything I've done to break my ZFS pool.

Overall I think it's a huge shame that it was determined that the CDDL was incompatible with the GPL, because it wasn't intentional, and we would be in a completely different spot for storage otherwise.
This is why it's so important to use FOSS-licensed programs. All such licenses are necessarily irrevocable, which protects you from this kind of rug pull.

Old computers perform better and use fewer resources? Have you used, say, a PC in the 90s? The fans were loud, the power usage constant and high, and the performance lacking by so many orders of magnitude that it can just be emulated in software today.

I’m a huge F1 fan, but I’m also confident that the total annual viewer hours of F1 pales in comparison to any other major sport. F1 was a sport born by the rich for the rich. Unlike every? other mainstream sport, you cannot and will not “play F1” in schools.

There is no “amateur” F1. You can go to track days in different cars. You can go karting. The gulf between that and F1 is huge.

> It won't boot on a degraded array by default, requiring manual action to mount it

If you want it to behave like that then add 'degraded' to fstab. That a device is missing can have unknown reasons, the user should know better and resolve it or allow such boot. It's not automatic as there's no way to inform the user that it's degraded state.
I'm getting really sick of the "always 20 years away haha" jab.

Look, it's really simple:

1. This is a very hard and expensive problem.

2. Progress IS being made.

It's not clever or cute to diminish progress on this problem.
This is a tactic that big corporations use all the time:
whenever someone opposes something (eg wind farms) they make the spurious connection of those opposing eg wind farms with some conspiracy theory (by inserting fake actors in the scene).

Then they point out and say "see how crazy these anti-wind warm people are lol don't listen to them since they belive the XYZ conspiracy theory".

So it's actually the inverse of what the article says.

I hear Google is a fairly successful company so I think this is a limitation of your imagination. In your defense, I have argued this with very intelligent people who share the same limitation.

At some point, creating a second copy of prod is infeasible or becomes so expensive that one must revisit and discard assumptions about what is actually possible. Duplicating a small to medium set of micro services with a bunch of SaaS integrations isn’t typically a big deal. Much can be done by leveraging a cloud provider’s flexible capacity. At some point that stops working, e.g. when you are the cloud provider. AWS isn’t outsourcing reliability to GCP or vice versa. Other comments have already mentioned outages driven by differences between prod and staging/testing/etc — those issues only get worse at scale.

ARPANET was established in 1969, the internet as we know it started gaining traction in the 90s. So you're saying this "breakthrough" means we're 30 years away from the nuclear fusion equivalent of the dot-com boom? If that's true then I'm incredibly hyped, show me the data

Gosh I hope it will be overturned. My impression as an outsider is that banning large cash transactions is yet another step down a slippery slope of increasing authoritarianism in Europe. I hate to make this style of argument, but: after anonymous transactions, what will be next, restricting anonymous discussions online?

The Cold War days seem so nostalgic; it seems there was a shared camaraderie between Europeans and Americans as "Westerners", all on the same team, etc. Now as an American I feel increasingly like Europe and the U.S. are drifting apart, and policies like these are additional wedges driving the split.
