I believe the doom-n-gloom around all of tech is rather overblown.

There are sectors of tech that will absolutely struggle. Gig-economy companies won't ever meet their valuation. Negative PE ratio startups are realizing that hyper-scaling is not as infinite as they believed, and that means their earnings might never catch up to their price. Social media companies are finally facing stiff non-American competition (Tiktok). Lastly, it is nice to see the crypto scams be snuffed out.
But, people have been calling all 4 of these out since before Covid.

Now, the biggest movers in tech seem to be in a healthy position. AMZN*, MSFT, AAPL and GOOG sit comfortably at the same average PE ratio as the S&P500. Those are value stock numbers for companies that are all leading innovation while having solid unit economics. They are front runners in areas that are their biggest risks (AI, Silicon) and their current offerings are essential tools to everyone globally. AFAIK, the adoption rates for cloud compute and mobile-silicon devices is only going to go up from here.

[AMZN] - AMZN does the weird profit-reinvesting thing, so they report lower margins on the highest revenue across tech. Thus the lower PE ratio. See it as you wish.

I wished the person had picked a different name. It doesn't seem like they have any connection with actual Amish. I understand the attempt at humor behind it. ("Whimsical" is the term the website's author uses.) I just wince at making fun of a group like that.
the premise is that a couple of people (more accurately, the CIO council) in the IT department said "I think future changes to the site should consider these points". And academia generally does have websites per department.

Realistically, almost anyone at any university can put content onto university websites / servers. This isn't some crazy notion of website usage: the same applies to this very site too.

The same is true in redux, every action calls every reducer, every connected component renders. Thats why with and without redux you need performance optimizations like memoizing components and/or selectors

Not that with just react contexts, you can chose to split them up instead of or in addition to employing memoization
Are you proposing that we interfere with parents teaching their children their beliefs? That is more unethical and fraught with peril than the alternative, IMO.

If someone believes in a powerful sky wizard who oversees all of humanity, they can teach their children of this magical being. They can even take them once a week to a place of education about this belief. IMO, it’s none of my or your business or right to be constantly present to present alternative points of view.
You raise two interesting questions for me:
1) how reckless with a treasure of humanity can person A be and still not be at fault if person B does the actual physical destruction (IE if I placed the magna carta on someones seat and didn't tell them when they were about to sit down, and they tore it when sitting, I would be at fault, yes?)
2) how dangerous does a person need to be before destroying a treasure of humanity is a valid way to avert disaster (I want to come up with an example involving the terra cotta army but my coffees still kicking in)
Disinformation is moral when created by people, because it costs more?

I’m new to this idea that something can be acceptable when done by people but unacceptable when automated. I don’t really see it.

> Sub-Saharan Africa has of course also suffered greatly from SARS-CoV-2, they just have not the means to count their cases.

Of course they do. If they suffered dramatically from Covid, it would be documented, just as it was for Ebola, Malaria, etc.

> SARS-CoV-2 does not behave differently in Africa than in other regions of the world, especially not in low-vaccination (or even no-vaccination) countries.

The statistics for Covid are all over the map with regards to vaccine status [2].

Some countries with high mRNA distributions did well (Canada, Australia). Some countries with high mRNA distributions did not do well (Brazil, US, Russia, Italy, Cuba). Some countries with low mRNA distribution did well (sub-Saharan Africa, Haiti, DR, Jamaica, Egypt, Papa New Guinea) [1][2].

> In countries with a younger population, less deaths from acute COVID-19 are expected, although the number of additional direct deaths from COVID-19 is still substantial.

A lot of these countries are showing 50-100 excessive deaths per 100K. That's on par with a bad flu season. Sub-saharan Africa has suffered far worse disease outbreaks than Covid. And unlike Covid, diseases like Malaria affect children [3].

By the way I've just realised why your github repo does not provide the sources of the diagrams in docs - it would blow your game wide open, once users start asking why they aren't getting the results depicted. And almost no compileable examples, either

> You can be mad that something isn't free for you,

Will you please stop lying? I am not "mad" because something isn't free, but because you're misrepresenting the nature of your D2 language. It is not something that you're making available to benefit community, but a thinly disguised marketing ploy.

It is far from prominent on your site, for one.
> “Spoilers” can mean spoilers for anything.

Honestly, if you're reading an article about movie X, then IMHO it is reasonable to assume that any spoiler warnings would be specific to movie X. If an article is going to spoil movies A, B, and C as well, then the spoiler warning text should make note of that.
The idea is to be able to hit the server from all your devices, and to have that server and all the software under your control.
No, he made some far fetched statements that people (rightly) objected to. But since the consequences were not satisfying to some, he was falsely accused of sexual harassment on account of his views. Yes, saying that minors should be able to consent to sex with adults is something that a lot of people, including myself, are disturbed to hear. That said, calling this sexual harassment is unambiguously a false accusation.

The Man from Earth: Holocene - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5770864/. The story seems to be that the writer of the original film's son tried to write a sequel, but failed to understand why the original worked. The imdb user reviews are pretty accurate.
> True. It's, if anything, worse:

Ruby extensions in C (or any other language) are mostly - 100% of the time for non-trivial stuff - a thin layer wrapping a native library.

The attack surface is minimal and it's almost entirely in the realm of the library code, which usually the extension developer has no control over.

it is also much easier to sandbox a ruby process in a server than Chrome on the user's computer.

> the engineering review and tooling that a Google has in place either

hardly, I would argue that something that is hundreds of thousand times smaller in scope and number of lines of code is much easier to write, review, test and debug.

Chrome seats at 7 million LoC, the average Ruby extension is ~100 LoC.

The fact that writing a wrapper is trivial compared to writing a browser, also helps a lot.

Many people can write a bug free correct wrapper in any language using only their brain.

No one can write Google Chrome on their own, let alone a bug free correct implementation of it.

Premature optimization is the root of all evil.

I think all of the supply chain shortages from events of the last 3 years has caused a bit of a push-back on long supply chains and to some extent globalism.

This looked interesting and then I read the following in the press release: “Dr Hill said the research sampled 15 participants of varying age, occupational and education backgrounds in England and the Republic of Ireland, who had been put on furlough or asked to work from home.”

So the hypothesis is based on 15 people, in one region of the world, in a very specific circumstance. The authors admit the research is limited, but if you don’t read deeply into the press release you might come away thinking this finding—if you can call it that—is much more solid than the actual survey methodology would support.

I don't know if this is intended as a feature of the film, but it's clearly not the real Mona Lisa. That showed paper burning; the Mona Lisa is painted on wooden boards.

I was sorta expecting that they would point out that Miles was himself taken in by the Louvre, and given a museum shop print. But it doesn't work with the film's final gag, so I guess it's just an error.

Ah, well. I don't take mystery movies too seriously for just that reason. It was fun and I enjoyed it.
Pure speculation—Ruby has a deeper OOP story (everything is an object), and that comes with a builtin performance impact. I also feel like performance was never a top priority with the language (ergonomics instead), so certain aspects of the core design may not lend themselves to optimization as easily.

It didn't stop the Iraq war from happening after the disaster the US caused in Vietnam. How is that better?

> There is a bit of a paradox here, because you could argue that cancelling a professor for having an unfashionable opinion is itself an exercise of student free speech.

No, it's curbing the professors speech. If students allowed the professor to speak, but held their own counter speech or protest march then that would be an exercise of free speech. Preventing another person from speaking is disruption, not counter protest.
The Global Five Star Index 2022
They did a great job making the contemporary things at least work in the service of the story.

COVID allows a shortcut to describing each character. The detective is depressed and bored. Birdie ignores lockdown restrictions and throws massive parties. The scientist is alone in his lab working the whole time. Duke built a home studio and spent his life online, etc. And Miles has a cure/vaccine for COVID but only uses it for his personal benefit. He never even shares it with his "friends" until they will be around him.

Among Us is supposed to show that the detective is bad at lying and sneaking around. This is later proven false, but it builds the expectation it goes against in the future.

Zoom and similar software is a good way to have characters talk to each other. A decade ago the same scene would have happened with everyone using a cellphone and the viewer at home getting the same view.

Meanwhile Twitch as a way that someone can become a famous influencer just seems about correct. Would you rather they just had a blog?
I made a site using the OpenAI APIs new models (similar to ChatGPT) for creating simple apps or demos using natural language: https://aidev.codes . If anyone is interested please try it out.

I tried to promote the site by submitting to HN and did not receive a single vote. I feel that although many people may not be impressed, it is better than 0. So I am just trying to promote it in related threads.

Anyway if you have any feedback or anything I am in the ChatGPT and OpenAI Discords as user runvnc.
most hardware i use in my life, outside the laptop I use to write this comment or my phone, works pretty good without complicated software. Heck, even my cars are old enough to have some basic embedded software running the engine only.

Also, software without hardware to run on, or to write n, is even more pointless than hardware alone. At least the latter can be touched.
My experience with devenv was disappointing. It claims to play well with existing tools but I ended up screwing around with arcane language-specific env cars to get a simple Python/pyenv/node setup going. It wasn’t quite so “oh just add your packages and roll” it was just like anything else “add your packages and fiddle with it til it works” and then it basically never worked. I was excited for it but it didn’t really add much value for me

They earn more profit than Toyota and have a ton of unbooked FSD revenue they can't book but could pay out as dividends if they want--apparently they never have to deliver in the average lifetime of the cars that came with it.
I think that it's fair to be upset that a newly released movie was spoiled for you. I think it's silly to expect that nobody will ever talk about the details of a movie that hasn't been in theaters for half a decade.
Yeah, i had to burn furniture once in a slightly similar freeze situation.
I don't know. Lots of Chinese food have peanuts, as well as some Indian foods. Some regions in Brazil too. I know that as a child in Brazil, I ate a lot of "paçoca" which as peanut based sweet. Never ever heard of peanut allergies in my childhood.
When JM showed up in the island, Miles should’ve had a reaction to her presence. The cheat is worsened when the movie doesn’t ever tell us how he reacted, even after the fact. IMO it qualifies as a giant plot hole.
Also disliked the movie for similar but also different reasons.

The first is the political layer on top of the film. Miles is obviously supposed to be Elon - "everyone thinks is genius but is an idiot" and the Twitch guy is supposed to be Joe Rogan who "got banned on Twitch for touting Rhino pills" (referencing the ivermectin that CNN [in which Jake Tapper has a cameo in the film] called a horse dewormer).

Kind of ruined the movie for me because it felt a bit of a collection of character hit pieces.

Another issue is the whole ending seemed poorly written. As the OP mentions it seems weird that Helen/Andi would be left alone with Miles.

Also why wouldn't Miles, with all his wealth and resources not be able to hide how the Mona Lisa was destroyed?
I doubt it. It is probably a low margin business that gets pumped up with debt and passed around PE firms / family offices at increasing multiples due to low interest rates.

It was bought and sold a few years ago by this family office in Dallas:

Then Warburg Pincus thought they could flip it, so they bought it:

https://vivtera.com/

https://www.vccircle.com/warburg-pincus-backed-vivtera-acqui...

https://www.vccircle.com/warburg-pincus-backs-indian-it-exec...

As you can see, all the executives at Vivtera are Indian, and have a background at Genpact, so they have connections and know how in India for setting up cheaper labor call centers or whatnot. They probably are paid well by Indian standards, but the big money is in being able to find the financing to flip these businesses, like what Straight Lane and Warburg Pincus do.
My wife wears two smart watches. I always give her a hard time about it. Her reasoning is that one will occasionally miscount steps or heart rate. I always ask if she knows which one is actually correct because she always errs on the side that gives the results she wants to see.

I thought it was more a send-up of mysteries, in roughly the same vein as 1980's Airplane! (including the celebrity cameos).
That's a good description. I didn't like it as much as the original but, like you, I actually want to rewatch it now to better appreciate the whole thing.

Certainly it's not a bad movie. I'm just not sure it really hangs together at the end of the day.
As a member of a community or site, it is important to take the time to familiarize yourself with the guidelines and frequently asked questions in order to understand how it operates. There are numerous threads available discussing user-driven moderation on this platform, some even addressing the same concerns you have raised. It seems that you have not made an effort to understand the rules and features of the site, leading to a fundamental misunderstanding and criticism that may not be warranted. It is worth noting that these rules have remained unchanged for the past decade, despite the political and global pandemic events of recent years.

Instead of contributing to the repetition of discussions on this topic, it may be more productive to seek out information and consider the possibility that the issue may lie with your own understanding and usage of the site. Additionally, making false claims about search results on a particular search engine only serves to undermine the credibility of your perspective. Alone because of the duckduckgo fib I am ending the discussion, at least for me. I hope you have a pleasant day.

Happened to me as well, I got a visa and an offer to work in Japan. I resigned from my current company, send the leave notice for my apartment, started packing and was supposed to fly there a month later. Omicron appeared a few weeks later, Japan sealed their borders, canceled all pending visa. No exception. But Japanese nationals were still allowed to travel freely anywhere and get working visa for Europe (of course).

Luckily my previous job accepted to cancel the resignation and I managed to keep my apartment since I had a very good relation with my landlord. But I still hold a nasty grunge to the Japanese government for that dick move.

When I finally made it 18 months later, I got randomly interviewed at the airport and talked about this covid management shit show, the lack of reciprocity between JP and EU, their government's inability to take any sensible action in a whole year... Even the interviewer was embarrassed. Needless to say, the interview was never broadcasted.

Don't get me wrong, the Japanese are wonderful people and there is a lot to love about them, their culture and their language. But they're governed by (very) old and incompetent politicians that rules the country like we're in 1980 and never cease to amaze me by their inaction and lack of innovation.
