Oh, sure, I'm not saying founders or C-level executives don't contribute anything. A lot of entrepreneurs are extremely talented (although in practice finances are a much more important factor for success than exceptional talent). The problem is that because the system is set up on the principle of generating money from mere ownership, employees will always be exploited (i.e. be paid less than they produce, even after accounting for business expenses and operating costs). This ownership model inevitably poisons everything.

A founder may be an active contributor to the company but they fulfill a dual role of owner and worker that is unique to them and alienates them from other workers in their company. This is most evident as companies grow and founders retreat into C-level roles isolating them from the day-to-day work via multiple layers of management or eventually phase out entirely, either retaining a seat on the board, transitioning to fully passive ownership of their shares or selling their stake entirely to cash out, at which point they will likely want to reinvest most of their money in ways that generate "passive income" (i.e. rent-seeking).

I'm not a big fan of Marxist theory, especially in its Marxist-Leninist interpretations, but even from a capitalist lens I think what I said holds true even if one may disagree with the framing or the moral implications (capitalist theorists famously prefer framing the system is natural, innate and thus amoral and inevitable, despite the recency of its more recognizable modern iterations).

But if you want to go into the political implications, the ability to generate income from property (whether it is a stake in a company, housing or just literal heaps of money) necessarily enables the unequal accumulation of wealth and in a capitalist system that wealth beyond a certain point directly translates into political power as this wealth represents an exclusive claim on resources (production, housing, finance) that can be withheld from society with state violence if necessary. This directly contradicts the abstract idea of a democracy by amending "every vote is equal" with "but you vote with your wallet" (and some wallets are bigger than others).

I'm not proposing a solution. I think cooperatives are an interesting model though they are hard to bootstrap in this system as even without institutional biases (e.g. cooperatives allegedly find it harder to take out loans because banks prefer having a central individual representing the debtor) the incentives align against them: if you have the capital to start your own company, why pick a structure giving you less power by empowering those who can only bring in their labor? But cooperatives can't change this system and thus have to operate within the same system, feeding into and benefiting from the same exploitative system.
There's many editors in this space that are trying to do similar things but built in Rust, Go and such. They're all nascent projects and all extremely immature to the point that I installed them all and immediately removed them but they show promise. There's Lapce, Zed, Fleet and Nova which are all native apps without Electron but having tried them all out, they're lacking in one way or another
I agree that it makes no sense to discuss this as if it was a cryptocurrency, as it was only co-opting the language of cryptocurrencies to push a scam. No coin or blockchain ever existed, and nothing could really be traded, so it makes no sense to treat this as a shitcoin crash or an exchange collapse. It is much, much simpler and dumber than that.

However, on a different level... how is this really any different from all the cryptocurrencies that are also only co-opting the language of cryptocurrencies to push a scam, but that go the extra mile to make the grift realistic by creating a cryptocurrency in the process?

Think of, for example, Helium, which goes as far as to have a realistic-sounding business model behind it (it certainly fooled me) but in practice is just funnelling money from investors into their pump-and-dump shitcoin, and from miners into their expensive certified devices that they take a cut from.

Is Helium any less of a scam, or did they just put more effort into their scam?
> A VPN is essential to defend yourself from the jackbooted UK government.

I tend to agree. Unfortunately even VPN doesn't entirely solve it though.

On the one hand wiregaurd makes this feel far more transparent and comfortable technically compared to how it used to with old fashioned crappy TCP over TCP style VPN... instead we now get low overhead, low latency, native, simple configuration etc.

The only problem is the end point: Running your own makes you very uniquely identifiable; using shared gets you on tons of blocklists or excessive captcha-walls of various popular and common services and underlying services like cloudflare or auth services such as google.

Even when running your own server you tend to get blocked due to having an IP from a VPS provider rather than a consumer ISP. It's basically impossible to get normal neutral internet these days... I find myself jumping between different servers, and turning it on and off, there is no single all access method... it's like wtf leave it alone guys, we are not in north Korea.
Consistently some of the most complete, thorough, readable, and interesting changelogs I've ever read. The entire team that works on Dolphin has my highest respect.

Upgrading probably does reduce performance slightly, but is it a noticeable difference; or is it something people say because of degraded batteries and go "hurr durr update bad"?
JNI? The JVM doesn't sandbox native code, nor can you target the JVM with (for example) GCC. So what are you referring to?

"Failed to live" says who?

The issues with it can be put into two main categories: store issues or user issues

Things like making the weight margins too tight, weird usability or having more choices that need to be picked from a list than needed (it's easier to just add a barcode to some vegetables for example). Or saying you can scan your own bag but failing to allow for that in practice

Well, user issues are a longer list. Sigh

We have a term for that where I work, 'CV Driven Development', we even have a service called 'Brag'.
I don't understand that girls is letting that going when they pretend to care for OSS. Microsoft is in the embrace phase, there is not a major forge that will remain that will not force to use their things.

Then they will be able to start with messing things, like requiring proprietary extensions to lock down the thing. I guess a lot of people here don't remember the good old time of Visual Studio on Windows.

JetBrain's Fleet looks very promising. Does many things better out of the box than VSCode with gazillion of extensions. Too bad that popular keybindings are not supported properly yet.
In the USA, politicians are bought and paid for by megacorps. They can’t really punish anyone without losing money themselves. In China, politicians are part of the CCP. If they don’t do what the CCP wants they have very serious consequences. Two systems, two very different yet serious problems.
You can place a small resistor in series with the supply, and measure the voltage drop over it. From this and using Ohm's law you can calculate the current. Then the power is trivial.

There are special resistors for this purpose that are very low in resistance.
Okay. You now have a harder time at being accepted at the highest paying companies because you didn't graduate from a select few universities. Hell, in law, most companies where you can really earn a good wage don't even hire outside of harvard.
Thx for your feedback. Will check their website. What about real IMAP Push for iOS devices? Does it work, or only every X minutes push like others? (mailbox.org, Fastmail, iCloud Mail do have real IMAP push for iOS/macOS).
This is all misinformation. OneCoin was never a cryptocurrency, it was a pretty website where you PayPal-ed your life savings into a black hole.

We can't even say that its price crashed, because there was never a market for it. It's closer to Madoff's securities than it is to, say, Terra.

I'm all for hating on cryptocurrencies, but this doesn't even qualify as one.
Docker already have the community, tools and distribution layer. You can think as Wasm as another resource that can be run in Docker as it's today. You continue using the same tools with a new way of packaging and run applications / runtimes.

I didn’t hear about keepass before. Mozilla used to have Firefox lockwise. But then retired it as a standalone service model. It would have been a great replacement to lastpass or Bitwarden. And a great way of entering the oauth service market. The other oauth players attached it to their primary service(s). Deactivate service means deactivation of oauth.

I had not heard of red mail or roundcube either. Mozilla stopped innovation on thunderbird and have now tried to go to thunderbird on mobile. What they sh/could be working on is “thunder nest” aka email server software.

This is a very niche text book example. If you want to make this point you need a real world example. And prove that poor people are diligently spending those $10.
When I used to shoplift, I'd just pop the items I was stealing into my pockets and walk out as surreptitiously as I could muster.

I wouldn't go anywhere near the checkout areas, where someone might notice and call me out on it. Would have done the same for self-checkouts if they'd existed back then, I'd have entirely avoided them, especially as they have high definition cameras attached these days.

So I agree, this doesn't make much sense from a practical, real-world shoplifting perspective.
> Slightly off topic, but I was with Three UK for a while. Reception was universally terrible, and trying to use mobile data was a joke.

I know someone who for a while was manager for a team of on-call engineers for a large-ish UK company.

As part of their precautions, they had contracts with all the big operators which they basically split into three groups Vodafone, Three, O2/EE.

The Vodafone contract was of course always the highest in cost, such is life with Vodafone. But nobody ever had a problem getting in touch with engineers on Vodafone SIMs, and the engineers didn't have much to bitch about either.... they could seemingly get signal and data everywhere, even basements.

O2/EE were sort of the Goldilocks option... not too good, not too bad. Data was generally better than Vodafone (O2/EE were generally quicker off the mark deploying 4G/5G whilst for a few years Vodafone customers suffered 3G in non-urban areas).

Meanwhile with Three, everything sucked. Sure they were the cheapest, but very much "get what you pay for". The Customer Service was terrible. But the main problem for my friend was the coverage. We're talking about prime Central London areas here (W,WC,EC postcodes) and the engineers on Three would regularly have either no signal or one/two bars. Infact in one office in particular, the IT room which overlooked a busy street was a Three blackspot, no signal whatsoever (meanwhile colleagues on Vodafone or O2/EE had no problems at all).

Eventually they got fedup, dropped Three and went for a two-carrier model. Three was not exactly bringing much to the table !

I should state this was around 5–10 years ago. So things might have changed. I suspect they have not changed substantially though.
Was he wrong?

Regardless, yes, he is. I am a marxist-leninist.
Still have my original Galaxy Note 1. Original battery, screen recently replaced with a third party one for cheap. Calls and texts work fine, navigation is OK, I don't care about the rest.
the funny thing about your comment is that it is only a hard problem because you were fooled on the premise.

the term itself was a fake argument against the commons, in favour of privatization of commons. every single word of the argument today is known to have been a falacy.

so the answer to the tragedy of the commons is to not believe in it. property is the real issue. but even thinking that way will offend your sensibilities.
And this agency problem is partially caused by regulators and "good governance" rules who demand that the board is "independent" from the shareholders. But this makes them have less skin in the game and diminishing the effect of fines!
The benefits could be way more immediate. Less supply might drive the price up, leading to less usage.

3M killing production and other signs of the product not having a future can drive away investments into competing suppliers.

Also, you do understand that you are probably the exception to the rule that in general iphones seem to get support longer than android phones.

In my opinion, in general, unsafe (outdated) devices should not be used as they are a huge attack vector because there are so many of them.

> It takes 2.5x time to develop a program in Java rather than Python. It's been measured.

I thought it is 2.54 times faster. Python to Java is inch to cm.
No, I think they’ve won this cycle in the same way that Windows and Google did theirs. The only issue for them is that it’s still text editing under the hood, which is a fundamental enough of a tool that there’ll always be alternatives scratching away at their supremacy (unlike an operating system for instance). So copilot and good LSP servers are probably big factors in their dominance.

Still seems like a market shift would be required to take them down, like an AI revolution, but then MS seem to be on top of that so far. Perhaps if CI/CD is reinvented in a wonderful way with mass adoption, integrated code editing and manipulation could reshape the text editor.
Despite being an Android One phone, it was released with Android 7 but got stuck in Android 9 (Android 13 being the latest version). That makes it two years of updates. Yeah, the Android ecosystem is pathetic like that.
My other suggestion is that to practise banking, one needs a license, which can be revoked.

Now that I think of it, Taleb's suggested that banking should be a civil servant job. So, no financial engineering or bonuses, just boring paperwork.

In the wake of the financial crisis of 2008 (IIRC), the role of regular banking and hedge fund activities was split in two. The idea is, of course, that if all the fancy derivatives blow up, it wouldn't take retail banking with it. I read recently that the UK government was thinking of dropping this, which seemed a bad idea.
Rental prices are based on the rental market price and then affect house prices. A landlord deciding they aren't going to make enough for their risk at the market rate and selling doesn't change much as whoever buys either stops renting or is going to rent it out.
While I agree with andrewstuart, there are not many other boards with the community, developer support, and ecosystem backing that Rpi has. Unfortunately, they really put the work in early to make sure they were positioned well in the ARM SBC space. (The fact that you can run some workstation loads with 4 or 8GB of ram on Pi is a bonus)

I'm hoping with Risc-V boards coming out, that maybe the cycle can start new and someone else can build a similar community, but actually value them.
True, and this is why ants and cockroaches are more
“evolved“ than humans. (although is it the being or the gene?) But humans can conceive bigger goals: we could genetically engineer new beings, and replace natural gestation with something else. These are untenable ideas but in 100 yrs ethics might change and the temptation to change how we and things evolve would be there.
Then let's flag this story and post one with actual content.

Absolutely no one is prepared, anyone who claims they are or seems to be are faking it.
The elephant in the room is globalization. The same resources have to be shared among many more people. Even if energy is no problem, there is e.g. a limited amount of fish protein that can be fed to life-stock.

>I’m betting that a jobless super-automated future will arrive even sooner than experts have been predicting.

We already live in that future. If there were only one type of car, one type of trousers and shirts, a limited selection of food and standardized housing, there would be hardly any work for anybody.

The end of the article is kind of funny. It could as well be a plea for Capitalism and startup culture:

>Drag dreams out into the light of day, show their sources, compare them with fact, transform them to possibilities … a dream … with a sense of the possible.”

>He also wrote that the urgent national inflection-point struggle a century ago was “between those who are willing to enter upon an effort for which there is no precedent, and those who aren’t. In a real sense it is an adventure.”

It comes down to taxes and investments. The masses can always vote for politics that shift spending power from corporations to politicians or to themselves. They can also pool their money and invest by themselves.

For some reasons, unprecedented efforts seem to require free capital. How else but with Capitalism can that be provided? More democratic investments like kickstarter.com look too much like etsy.com to be viable contenders.
Most of the area of food deserts (as defined by the USDA) is rural. People live out in the country (often by choice) and then show up in statistics saying that there are lots of people that have low access to food.

https://www.aecf.org/blog/exploring-americas-food-deserts

Poor areas in cities will often not have an immediate, large, well stocked grocery store, but they are probably only a mile or two away from one, and there will certainly be smaller stores with some fresh items.
Docker containers will still be far more efficient than something which has to be interpreted in a VM. The real advantage of WASM/WASI is architecture independence - and perhaps some kind of trusted verification of proof assertions in the code, which would of course be easier in a VM compared to trying to verify actual binary assembly.
Yes, I can explain.

Usually when you hear an example, even a bad one, you can easily in your head find many other examples.

In this case however, not only is the example flawed. But also, most other things I can think of don't line up with this idea. Cars for example, a 2nd hand Prius from Toyota is more reliable then a BMW. Most clothing is costed based on style, not functionality. Public transit doesn't line up with this concept. Electronics don't really line up with this concept either.

For food concept also doesn't really seem to work, more expensive food doesn't have better nutritional value. Beef and fancy wild rice isn't better for you then chicken and pasta.

So when you use an example, making it a really good example is generally preferable. And boots I don't think are that great of an example. Specially because most richer people don't buy some fancy shoes and then wear them for years and years.

So if your gone have a whole theory of wealth inequality, then I would hope some better examples exist, but so far I have been unable to think of any.

Housing is the only one that might come close, but housing is always somewhat special and doesn't work that well.
I think people feel hunger very differently.

When I want to lose wait I just stop eating lunch until I start to feel it makes me sluggish. I can tell I should probably eat but that’s an easy to ignore signal.

My ex girlfriend felt hunger as an all consuming normal activity ending feeling.
London tap water varies a lot in different parts of London. When I used to live in North-West London it was very hard (ie: full of minerals) so you'd constantly be cleaning the limescale gunk out of your shower, off your taps, etc. And I also remember it smelling noticeably "chlorinated" at times. Now I live in East London (E14) and it seems much softer - we get a bit of limescale but nothing like it was at my old place, and no pool-water smells.

But anyway, I think anywhere in London, so long as you run it through a filter (ie: Brita filter) and chill it, it tastes more or less as good as any bottled water.
Github had the same limitation initially but they have fixed it lately. It downloads an index in the browser and uses it for search. I guess Gitlab can do the same, they just didn't get around to implementing it in the first version.
So it could be cached by transparent proxies.... Ones that work properly that is.
The culture goes even further. We demand individuals to do pointless self flogging rituals like tediously organizing their recycling just to have it be buried in china. Meanwhile corporations are free to waste as much plastic product as they care to without repercussion.

America is all about squeezing the individual for the few in power and wealth.
What's your opinion about the Samsung Galaxy Note 7? That's the one whose battery tended to explode, maybe ten years ago. Samsung offered to replace them, and eventually bricked the remaining devices.

I think your thesis is better posited as Complexity != Complicatedness i.e. a complex system can be uncomplicated (eg. iPhone), and a simplex system can become very complicated (eg. the US tax code).

IMHO Complexity is a function of the number of subsystems; while complicatedness is the function of the nature of those interactions.
Last update was 2020, but I don't really care about the updates nor "security", which is just blanket term for lockdown, aka security for the vendor, not your security. Android allows me to do things and does not treat me like a criminal in addition to feeling like I actually own the device.
