Right now, somewhere in the bowels of booking.com, a middle manager is crafting an e-mail to the front-end devs, "hey can we remove that .persuation-msg CSS class, and replace it with those nonsensical .xj892FXy0-style class names that are all the rage now? Thanks!"

I get why people build straw men. It saves them from having to deal with complexities; they get the pure feeling of being right. But I think it's especially ridiculous in this context. What's the point of supposedly being strongly for free speech if you're not going to listen to what anybody's actually saying?
It's a sad state of things. I've grew unsensitised to that sort of things. Nowadays I usually automatically ignore that and what my brain perceives as ads. They all became background noise to me at this point.
I don't get it. What does this add?

Debian packages are already gpg signed. Majority (and Debian is working toward the goal of all) packages have reproducible builds. Their CI system even automatically does multiple consecutive builds of packages to automatically detect issues with reproducibility. So, in the majority of cases, you can verify that the binary package you installed matches the source package it is claimed to be built from.

You have to go to extra effort to install an unsigned package / package that fails signature verification with what currently exists. So, you are not going to accidentally install a package that fails signature verification with just the current protections in place.

So, am I missing something? Or, does this new thing add nothing to the protections that are already present by default?
Privatisation has nothing to offer if there is no competition.

If there is no competition possible--and there are so many other situations apart from airport security--then a publicly owned provider is better. There _are_ some things that are a natural monopoly but if there must be a monopoly then it should be a government one.

A private monopoly is the worst of all worlds.
The profiles only matter if you want to be decodable by hardware decoders. If you only care about software decoders, which must be true if JPEG-XL is your comparison, then you don't have to use the HEIF grid for large dimensions, and the better question is how much memory your application will allow to be allocated. Because chances are JPEG's maximum 65535x65535 exceeds it that too.

AV1 itself allows a maximum of 65536x65536 for a single picture, whereas the HEIF grid hypothetically allows even more than that regardless of how large each individual picture is (HEIF grid dimensions are 32-bits). As a practical example, libavif will not use the grid for large dimensions unless explicitly told to do so, by default producing files that aren't compliant to either baseline or advanced profiles.

(to further my pedantry against your source: AVIF is a subset of HEIF; what people usually mean by "HEIF" is the HEIC subset)

I wonder how true this actually is now. I initially read this and believe it was accurate but I've come across two things that make we wonder about it now

Specifically for clothes, the cost of "good quality" products could potentially be a lot more expensive, to the extent that the cost per wear is still better going with the cheap option and buying replacements more frequently. I only have one piece of anec-data which is a spreadsheet a coworker created to track this for themselves

The other thing this would seem to imply is that the total spending increases at some people as income goes down, as they have to pay for more lower quality things, but what I saw a graph of spending vs income (which I can't find again after some searching) that doesn't hold up in the data. That could mean that they're compensating for high costs of some things by spending less in other areas, I guess.

yeah no, you aren't churning nuclear subs out of a rowboat factory in 2023

even if you were to start a new company to build nuclear subs (for example) today, you are probably looking at a decade or more until you can produce something
I made this change a year ago for similar reasons to you - I didn't want to be coding for the rest of my career. I can say this is one of the decisions in my career that I truly regret. For me at least, it felt like I was completely starting over. My comp was a modest bump (a 20% increase but with a much bigger portion of that being variable and not guaranteed.) The skills I have been developing are sales/ storytelling skills. I rarely end up writing any code. Unless the thing you are missing in your current role is talking to customers I personally think there is a lot more opportunity as a software engineer with a business focused mindset.

JPEG XL is not Google created. The problem here is that there's a conflict of interest, Google has its own image formats and they're being petty about competition.

“Never” is way too strong.

This technique is called “cloud bursting” and is done often enough to have docs on Azure: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/resources/cloud-computing-...

More generally, hybrid on/off prem (or multi-cloud) is a top level feature of GCP’s Anthos.

You’re not wrong about your two main reasons, and it’s true that it’s hard to wire up. But you definitely can wire up hybrid workloads in some cases.

The obvious one would be stateless batch compute like image/video processing; “I prefer to re-encode my videos on prem but can burst to the cloud if I get a traffic spike”. This might end up being cheaper than either of all-on-prem with overcapacity, or all off-prem with auto scaling.

I agree it’s not likely to be useful for something where security is your reason for going on-prem.
Could you share the code with us?
The better question is do we even need so many apps to begin with? Do we need YouTube, Dailymotion, TikTok, Vimeo all to be their own app? Or should they all just use the something like NNTP but for video sites?
They have similarities in that they both can be used to sign things, but the architecture is completely different and sigstore is designed for different tradeoff - namely to be much easier to get started with and use.

> end up with that "soft-ish" landing the Fed was talking about

That narrative died months ago.

At this point the odds of a recession are much higher than a 'soft-landing'.
I agree with you that often people conflate respect and subservience with respect to kids. However, aren’t both useful (and probably necessary?) in a classroom environment? I don’t see why it is dangerous to expect children to, within reason (i.e. on matters pertinent to their behavior and education), listen to their teachers. Both respect and subservience are lacking, based on what I have heard from my friends in education.

For instance, students cussing out teachers is a lack of respect, and has nothing to do with subservience. Students talking or distracting others while the teacher is educating also shows a lack of respect. Students bullying each other also shows a lack of respect. Again, none of these have anything to do with subservience and are reasonable behaviors to prohibit in a classroom.

On the other hand, there are many situations in education that require subservience of the student to the teacher. For instance, if the teacher asks or tells a student to stop talking during class, it is important that the student listen to them. If the teacher tells a student to complete their homework, an in-class assignment, or a test, it is again important that the student listen to the teacher. If the student does not listen, either their education or the education of their peers is hurt.

I’d be curious to hear more about what you are referring to when you say “this is a dangerous line”.

Any kind of damage to nature is limited in time and space, provided the universe is finite. Impact on endangered species is more difficult to reverse, though.

Please note that I'm also including long-running (e.g. 60-80 years) and small-footprint (relatively few critical minerals [1] and acres of land needed [2], plus associated reduction in transmission over other options) alongside nuclear's fantastic ability to run 24/7, rain or shine, any season, anywhere (including deep underwater, under ice like at Camp Century, and in outer space like SNAP-10A).

None of these benefits of nuclear are even remotely included in LCOE assessments. They're just cast aside as unimportant, which is a big LOL, and why LCOE is no longer seriously considered in cross-technology comparisons by energy experts.

What’s interesting is that the Wikipedia page you linked to indicates that it’s unclear that this is a formalized caste system and indicates things have been more fluid:

> Often called the sistema de castas or the sociedad de castas, there was, in fact, no fixed system of classification for individuals, as careful archival research has shown. There was considerable fluidity in society, with the same individuals being identified by different categories simultaneously or over time. Individuals self-identified by particular terms, often to shift their status from one category to another to their advantage. For example, both mestizos and Spaniards were exempt from tribute obligations, but were both equally subject to the Inquisition. Indios, on the other hand, paid tribute yet were exempt from the Inquisition. In certain cases, a mestizo might try to "pass" as an indio to escape the Inquisition. An indio might try to pass as a Mestizo to escape tribute obligations.[18]

> Casta paintings produced largely in 18th-century Mexico have influenced modern understandings of race in Spanish America, a concept which began infiltrating Bourbon Spain from France and Northern Europe during this time. They purport to show a fixed "system" of racial hierarchy which has been disputed by modern academia. These paintings should be evaluated as the production by elites in New Spain for an elite viewership in both Spanish territories and abroad portrayals of mixtures of Spaniards with other ethnicities, some of which have been interpreted as being pejorative in nature or seeking social outrage. They are thus useful for understanding elites and their attitudes toward non-elites, and quite valuable as illustrations of aspects of material culture in the late colonial era.

Not saying it’s impossible as I’m not familiar with the Latino community. And skin color discrimination appears not just in Latino communities. But caste systems pop up everywhere (e.g. America institutionalized it quite well into the socioeconomic structure).
I'm not sure about that. Cloud can involve virtualized resources that can be provisioned or deprovisioned dynamically based on demand but, it doesn't necessarily imply that the software / data in the cloud is ephemeral. Both can be designed to be persistent and durable, with long-term storage and retention. I think you're confusing an accident for an essence.

There are many reasons, just to list a couple:

1) Chrome is much bigger, so it's much more consequential, so it's valid is a bigger target for criticism

2) It's much easier to performantly support the format on some OS without it being "native", so again, lack of browser support is worse, and thus it's valid it's a bigger target for criticism

I can't help but consider the big picture here.

I get that one is trying to be clever and concise, but "Don't make me think" as a core value really sucks; there ought to be some consideration of "the world you're building" when "don't make me think" is a virtue.

(Compare to e.g. "Don't be evil." Has Google always succeeded at this? Of course not, but it feels as if having it in the background has been valuable.)

This might also be a dark pattern to exploit attention spans compromised by chronic content consumption.

A user sees new content at the top of the page, forgets the content they wanted to see, sticks around to look at novel material.

THEN the user either goes back and gets distracted again, or at the very least, goes back to their intended page.

Also to note, Reddit disabled i.reddit.com (the old mobile site that was snappy) within the last month.

It's not just the front end though. I used booking.com to book a hotel room with my wife and daughter, and it had a label on the booking option saying "your child's stay is free!" or similar. Turns out that her staying might be free, but the bed for her to sleep in is £30 per night, which was an extra I had to pay when we arrived. Booking.com is fine for finding somewhere because so many places are on it, but in the future I'll always book directly with the location through their website.
Going the extra mile is rarely worth it anyway. A worker has to rationally evaluate whether their investment will see a return.

Let your more talented peers rise to their level, take opportunities as they come, and leave the workhorse attitude behind.

Just anecdata from the other side (i was a hotel manager for the last 7 years): BDC has nigh-unbeatably good SEO, you can't beat it even with e.g. searching for
"[hotel name] in [city]", 99% of the time. The other 1% is Expedia in the search results :D

A note on alternatives - loads of former competitors have been bought by either BDC or EXP, i.e. hotels.com is just Expedia, kayak or priceline are BDC, etc.

I was wondering if caste was more like class than race. If a baby born to Dalit parents was adopted by a Brahmin family, as an adult, would they be considered Dalit, Brahmin, or not quite either?

But i suppose class and race are intertwined anyway. If you peer closely at panel B here:

You can see that the 'priestly' castes have, on average, more "steppe pastoralist" heritage. If i understand correctly, this is a fossil record of Indo-Europeans moving into India and taking over thousands of years ago. Perhaps a bit like how people with Norman ancestors are still a bit better off than those with Saxon ancestors in England today:

Save the transhumanism for when we need to increase Dunbar's Number to overcome the tyranny of structurelessness[0]. If you want a proactive fix ("better tires") for monopolization, then bring back ownership caps and start scrutinizing mergers & acquisitions again.

The thing is, monopolies tend to be on the wrong side of the Innovator's Dilemma, but they short-circuit it by just buying the disruptors out. Think about how many technologies Google has developed internally versus bought and scaled up. If we prohibited them from buying startups, then the company, being a slow and lumbering monopoly, would eventually crumble like Kodak did.

Some scrutiny at the current banking system for keeping interest rates at 0% for a decade and change might also be deserved. Cheap capital makes it cheaper to buy your competition out.

This also applies to right-libertarian movements, Bitcoin, Ethereum DAOs, etc.
