> Mao explicitly forbid the army and the police from trying to stop the violence, ordering that they must “absolutely not intervene.” Names and addresses of writers and artists were given to the Red Guards, who proceeded to ransack their homes, destroying books, paintings and musical instruments, and beating up their owners in the process.

That's what 2A is for.

The article doesn't explain what these regimes really do. The end-goal is inverting the flow of "life-force". Normally it flows upwards when people express any high or selfless aspirations. In demonic religions, this flow goes downward, mostly via two channels: hatred and sexual passion. The two are destructive and creative forces inverted. Wars, concentration camps and prisons create a reliable source of hatred and fear. The cult of unhinged sexuality inverts the creative force of the people.

The author is wrong to think that tyranny wants to break down your will and turn people into veggies. It's an intermediate step. The demonic force behind a tyrant wants its subjects to apply all their knowledge and creativity to demonic ends. This is why creative cruelty was encouraged in Red Guard and other similar cults. Dumb veggies with weak will are of no use to them, but they may serve as the fuel by producing hatred and sexual passion.

Saying “hey don’t go down the path we are on, where we are making money and considered the best in the world.. it’s a dead end” rings pretty hollow.. like “don’t take our lunch please?” Might be a similar statement it feels..

>The US government can print a trillion+ on a whim.

To be clear, there is a difference between the ability to do something and the will to do it. That is why I referenced the debt ceiling. The government could easily spend more than the debt ceiling. It is also unlikely there would be serious repercussions to just abolishing the debt ceiling. And yet we constantly have to have the debate of whether we should raise the debt ceiling. It is a game of political theater. Are we sure something similar could never happen with a bailout big enough to save Goldman Sachs?

I'm guessing they're looking for the users they can steal the most from in the least amount of time. Aka, the most lucrative.

Apple's ecosystem means that most of the devices are up to date, or close, and because they control the full pipeline, things behave better.

This means that targeting ios is easier (since they'll be on closer versions and behave uniformly) and that because they spend more money, which they have, means that targeting them is easier and more lucrative.

Most are looking to hack. If they're looking to build a botnet, android might be better.

The users who pay attention to search quality aren't impacted by the default search option. They will just go back to Google or whatever alternative they wish.

The users who the default engine really locks in are the ones who just mostly click ads and have no idea they are ads. When they use Google they are mostly clicking ads anyways, so the search result quality will appear about the same with Bing. Maybe even better if there are fewer ads.

For Microsoft, getting more users on board means higher ad volume which brings more advertisers who are going to spend the time to manage Bing ad campaigns. You can bet they've done the calculations for how much money they can spend at what price. Ultimately that leads to higher monetization and then Microsoft can pay other companies (like Apple) to switch the default engine.

Google is a multi-trillion dollar attention tax that just sucks money from the global economy. They've been wildly mismanaged since Eric Schmidt's CEO tenure ended. It's been a long time coming, but the timer is running out of sand for Google fast. The revenue may take a long time to peak and decline but when they start missing their quarterly earnings it will be a bloodbath for Google's employees.
I can't help but to disagree. Just look at Linux Distributions for an example proving you wrong, let alone things like TWRP; a recovery partition that with relatively little work builds and works on most any phone that will take it; or any of the big Android Distributions that deal with hundreds of phone models. A custom build of iOS would be nothing by comparison.

> M1 mac runs aarch64 containers natively, and emulates x64 containers

Macs don't run any containers natively, because macOS doesn't support containers and doesn't have a Linux ABI translation layer (some operating systems, like Illumos and NetBSD, do, and you can run Linux binaries on them almost like you can run Windows binaries on Linux via WINE). On M1, when you run aarch64 containers under Docker, you are 'merely' emulating an environment for a Linux kernel to run in and you can pass certain aspects of your CPU through. But when you do the same with x86_64 containers, you are additionally 'emulating' (via a translation layer) x86_64.

Hopefully some day macOS will have its own truly native containers, like Linux and Windows do. That could be a serious savings for containerized macOS development environments, because they will be way more efficient than Docker Desktop on Mac currently can be. For now, the only way to get that kind of efficiency is Nix— which is great and better suited to that use case than Docker, but underutilized at many organizations.

Probably even then people will still use virtualized Linux, since that's a closer environment to where apps will usually run in prod. But at such an org I'd argue for using macOS containers for local development, should they ever come to be available. The efficiency gains are well worth it IME.
It heavily depends on what you do on linux, if you completely customized it to perfecfly fit your needs and only work with a stable set of programs, ChromeOS doesn't stand a chance.

For more "standard" users though, ChromeOS is very simple, has excelent touch support, battery management, a half baked but functional tablet mode, covers a lot of its ecosystem issues with the android subsytem, is fast to learn yet gives access to more power user features (including linux VMs). And it's of course very forgiving, as every regular apps are sandboxed. In that respect I see it succeeding where linux has been struggling for so long. TBH I was hoping Google made a decent iPad pro competitor based on ChromeOS, but I'm not holding my breath.

It's of course not perfect, far from it, but it's a pretty good computer experience IMHO. Linux has progressed a lot, but I still don't see the simplicity, versatility and forgiveness trio in a linux machine anytime soon.

On the other OSes, I didn't see it as desktop only, and iOS could have been a nice alternative, if Apple could have bothered (same for android and DEX). I actually think ChromeOS is a better choice than windows for light computer users, assuming Google doesn't throw the towel..
I think you're talking past the parent's point here.

Firmware as I understand it (also as a microcontroller firmware programmer) is about the same as what the parent understands.

I think your metric about "too simple to screw over the user" is sort of weird, when in the context of my work and the parent's work, "screw over the user" might well mean "disabled the oxygen pump on the user's space suit".

It is in that sense that motherboard Bios is a marginal case. It is marginal in the sense that BIOSes are clearly at the margin between embedded microcontroller firmware and full-blown general-purpose-computer operating system. If I have to update the BIOS on my computer every month (or every week) just for it to boot into any operating system, then something is incredibly wrong, even as modern BIOS have become several orders of magnitude more complex today.
Maybe I'm using a different Bing because I access it through Duck Duck Go, but it doesn't seem better than Google. I often have to add a !g to technical searches because DDD doesn't return the right results. Google has them in the very first links. I'll try to use Bing directly.

Great story!

This was a while back, but I remember working on a Yahoo! clone. It was me and two other engineers. One of them got sick and wasn't available. It was my first job, and I really wanted this project to succeed. I kept pushing toward launch, slinging code. One week I worked 96 hours.

We launched.

There was a company all hands meeting scheduled (not just for the launch, a regular one). The sales rep who had sold the deal and shepherded it through launch stood up and said "thanks to Dan for all his hard work on <project>".

He gave me a t-shirt and a 6 pack of beer.

Blech. I helped save a project and this was my thanks? Either I

* misunderstood how important the project was or

* was being treated unfairly

Either possibility sapped my motivation. This profoundly changed my perception of work. I have done a few other long weeks since, but only when I was in leadership and only with my eyes wide open. No more backing into it.

Other than that, companies get what they pay for.

If I'm an FTE, that's 40ish hours a week (flexes to both sides). If I'm a contractor, they get the time we agreed to and I bill for every hour.

If you are worried about AI, this shouldn't make you feel a ton better. GPT4 is just trained to predict the next word, a very simple but crude approach and look what it can do!

This is the main argument I see against DDG, but I've never seen it be true. The only purpose of !g for me has been when I want Google maps specifically. For anything else it's just as good as the other search options. I think it would be more accurate to say that none of them seem to be great these days but not that this is a DDG issue.

I tried coding on a phone just for the technical challenge and to see how I would manage, and I just couldn't do it. I'm a good typist on my phone, but with very technical and finicky things such as code, you need special care and precision, that for me, works only best on a desktop workstation with a proper keyboard.

I tried coding on my iPad on a beanbag, but found I was 10x more productive with a workstation with chair, mouse, etc. I think I have bad dexterity. I've seen others happily coding away on beanbags in the office and don't know how they do it.

Considering the cost of the infra it would take to replicate some of these services, not to mention bandwidth, DC, and electricity costs, you're probably still saving money. You're absolutely saving on Network Ops and Data Center Ops not to mention the huge investment in gear one has to make. A single server can cost over 100K. Network gear can costs way more. The fact that you don't have to make those investments is the allure. At a certain point, you might outgrow someones else's cloud and build your own, but that divide is a fairly large threshold to cross.

Western music notation originated in religious vocal scores, at a time when church music was largely homophonic (just one melody). As melody is linear through time, using the horizontal axis to denote time makes a lot of sense - just like we do with the written word.

Of course Gradually tastes changed and Church music became polyphonic - adding a second (and third, fourth, fifth, etc) vocal line was a natural adaptation. Instrumentalists took it up outside of the Church, and the rest is history. We standardized on this notation because, even though it was originally for the human voice, it is convenient and good enough that everyone could make use of it.

Finally, I'll note that 20th century composers experimented endlessly with alternate notations, some more seriously than others: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/5-12-examples-of...

There is a reason the other banks do not offer more: A great deal of that money is locked up in long term, low interest assets. What do you think will happen if people try to take their money elsewhere?
Yes but they also generally don't offer bullshit degrees that people obtain and then end up working at McDonalds.

Germany, Switzerland, Belgium all come to mind as countries with free or near-free education that while they don't graduate the same % of their population through tertiary eduction it's not for lack of available opportunity but rather many people choose not to pursue tertiary eduction.

This is actually a good thing because they are often choosing alternatives like vocational education that is more suited to their career choices.

Baristas with university degrees is the outcome of pushing everyone to get a degree and is common place in both the US, Canada and Australia as a result as all 3 have this same notion that you need a degree to get a job.

> he might actually believe his own story now

I was wondering this but this section from the article is fairly damning

> One photograph, posted to Instagram in October 2019 but now deleted, shows four pieces of lined notebook paper, labeled “mild,” “reg,” “hot” and “extra hot,” with Cheetos piled on top of each. At the bottom of one, Montañez signed his name and wrote the date “1988.”

> In another post, now deleted, he wrote that he worked on the Doritos Salsa Rio flavor in 1998 — a product that first hit test markets in 1987, according to Advertising Age articles from that year.

He literally fabricated evidence, writing the date 1988 when we know at this point it's impossible. And then deleted the posts. Like someone else said, there's definitely something inspirational about his rags to riches story, but seeing this I can't help but lose respect for him.
