I actually found YC advice on startups to work great in real life as well. Afaik YC is all for execution and thus write great material for getting things done. Best advice ever for me was the whole single metric thing - pick a metric, makes sure it goes up x-% every week.
It’s definitely easy to argue that there are ‘some’ benefits to the one child policy. But it’s probably like a sugar rush, where an addict has the benefit of experiencing a short term high for a long term decline in health.

Which is all besides the point - the point is: you need market competition for capitalism to work. As soon as competition is broken, your economy starts stagnating and other incumbents start eating away at it.
The type system will know if you don't handle a potential conversion.

This restriction is better for pretty much every real-world use case anyway.

If you don't know what you're converting, then you are almost guaranteed to be getting garbage out the other end. If you do know what you are converting, being explicit and covering all your options isn't a big deal.

And of course, you can pack this all away in a module if you really want too. Modules are more flexible than typeclasses in a language like Haskell anyway (as you can't have multiple typeclass definitions in Haskell).

In truth, I believe module typeclasses (typeclasses only definable in modules) would be a nice addition. It would allow flexibility while creating a pattern that actively discourages the abuse you see in Haskell where typeclasses quickly devolve into unreadable garbage.
There’s also a simple mod you can do to the MacBook Air (installing a thermal pad on the SoC) which significantly improves heat dissipation - check YouTube.

I have a similar setup (except 8 core) and with the mod I don’t feel any need for an external fan for gaming.

I have to admit that I don't own an hardware security key. But since those let you use public key cryptography to login, you could at least theoretically use the same public key for multiple services. Whether the FIDO2 protocol lets you do that or not, I admit I don't know.

You're still lying about the alternatives to nuclear power. You are still underestimating the impact of a nuclear disaster. You are still underestimating the risk of a nuclear disaster. These things have always occurred more frequently than expected, and we haven't seen anyone intentionally blow up a nuclear facility yet. The possibility for someone to actually make that happen intentionally (as supposed to the also criminal but less intentional neglect in the case of Fukushima) makes the risk calculations around nuclear impossible.

I use Fastmail's masked emails all the time and nobody minds at all. I just used another one at H&M yesterday, which I do every single time because you get 15% for creating a new account with them. I don't even read it out to them. I just hold up my phone and show it to them, which they appreciate.
You’re right, I can’t claim that it is. I understand that the models do not contain the original work.

But they are not simply sharing a single link and the “intent” is different. I personally feel that we should not treat human learning and AI learning the same. Unlike humans, the AI is essentially immortal and infinitely copiable.

Why isn't it efficient for replacing ground based power sources? In the case of replacing ground based solar, it means not having to deal with intermittency and diplacement of natural habitats. In the case of hydrocarbon-based power plants, it means not having to contend with pollution.
I'd agree that a lot of the SMB/large enterprise software devleopment practices make trivial domain requirements into extremely complicated distributed monoliths colloquially called "microsrevices", but gradle is a pretty bad example for this kind of behaviour.

gradle was created as a kneejerk reaction to maven forcing build configuration to be set in stone and in xml. Its inspired by dynamic scripting languages, which is as far removed from these companies as you can get.

I remember it being created shortly after groovy became massively overhyped, and I think the only tools still using it are gradle and Jenkins...

Worse, it's biology so we have to actually work with the messy wet lab system that makes up our bodies instead of a human built system we can at least nominally control and design. At least traffic has a design and intent so we're not fully wedded to whatever worked for a bacterial half a billion years ago with big dreams and a fancy new mutation.
You're assuming that using images or text to train AI is copyright infringement. The difference is also that The Pirate Bay was assisting copyright infringement of non-publicly available works.

Gary Bowser literally resold complete copies of copyrighted works.

"And also fyi if you actually enjoy learning and growing you wouldn't sound so bitter about not making stupid amounts of money"

FYI these aren't mutually exclusive. You can enjoy learning and growing while being bitter about getting screwed over. And it's not bitter to point out to other people that initial comment about just learning and growing being enough to easily reach top 5% income is a lie.
To be fair to Harvard and Princeton, neither actually costs very much to attend if you get accepted but come from a lower/middle income family. The hard part is getting accepted.

in many european countries 40-50% of this immigration is unemployed. that's not a net positive. immigration was a positive when unemployment wasn't high and cost of life wasnt that crazy high in western europe.it was also a time where western europe had industries and blue collar jobs. those jobs are gone and bringing millions of people from poor countries w/ low education background will only bring false hopes to those people.the past 20 years did not require mass immigration.

and for germany crimes can you break it down into the type of crimes so that we see that your stat doesn't hold? best look at countries that had mass immigration for long like sweden. how is it going crime wise?

has for industries that thrived thanks to immigration. I know the nice NYT story about parmagienno saved thanks to hard working immigrants. Why not? but most of the time industries that struggle to hire native are paying salaries that wouldn't allow natives to raise a family while allowing immigrants to buy a house at home in a few years. this is why they favor mass immigration so that they can keep the salaries low. we saw with covid and the stop of immigration that salaries in UK for truck drivers went up for instance. its offer and demand 101

> smart motivated ones find a way to go to college

the bigger sample bias is that wealthy people almost universally send their children to college and their children are always going to earn above average wages.

it is pretty obvious that people who graduate college are going to earn more because large numbers of high paying jobs require a college degree, but that is a bad thing.

jobs that require specific skills should have objective skills tests to qualify for the job. requiring a degree for a job should be prohibited by law because it is blatantly discriminatory.
> STORENAME@mycustomdomain.com

I regretted using the main domain for that, as some junk mailers either cotton on to there being a catchall or just chance that many domains have many users with common names, so sometimes I would get several messages for andrew@domain.tld, brian@domain.tld, carl@domain.tld, etc.

These days I use STORENAME@sub.domain.tld which seems to attract a lot less junk, practically none, by the above manner. The catchall on the main domain was replaced by large forwarding list of the addresses I'd got legitimate emails from, with anything else now bouncing as usual.

I'm all for free market competition etc., although in truth I've never seen it being 'good for innovation' quite as people describe.

The first big player in a space e.g. Atlassian just acquires any competition and guts it. Sure, that's as free market as it gets (ignoring anti-trust?) but I don't see the benefit to the consumer.

Or, at the other end, as a Canadian, UK taxpayer (and many others) your money goes to keep afloat gov't subsidized startups that could never compete in the free market otherwise... is this beneficial as well?

I just write ANSI C so maybe it's all lost on me somewhere.
Seems like another deceptive statistical study that probably doesn't even control for brain size. It also seems to have discovered that women probably mix up their logic and "intuitive modes", as we always thought.

And why would they further show statistics by race rather than by brain size? Brain sizes affect the density of connections and proportions of white matter to grey matter, so comparing small-brained women and men to large-brained women and men would seem like an obvious thing to do if you have the data [edit: but this is obviously me just desperately looking for a control.]

Instead, I suspect they were fishing to find out some headline-grabbing result, hoping that (for example) black women were more masculine than white women, or Asian men were more feminine than white men.

> How will you know when you have addressed climate change? Will there be different climate models from today's, showing everything is now OK?

According to what I read in the IPCC reports, we already have those; it's how goals like ones under the Paris Agreement get derived. I'd imagine it's a mix of footprint monitoring to see if we are hitting targets, and updating models based on new knowledge.

The bottom line is that a lot of people have a sense of "we're doomed" these days that's at odds with having the energy to make plans for a long-term future, or to look forward to it. If we improve I'd hope the collective zeitgeist would shift accordingly, and give those people a better outlook.

My own point of view is ... tricky. I'm relatively wealthy and well-educated. Privileged, really. My kids would be among the most likely to be in a position to contribute to a better world, so maybe having kids is the best ticket to keep the world going. I feel like I should invest the resources I have been lucky to get into family and children. I'm nervous if they'd grow up to agree, however, because this is easy to think while living in relative peace and comfort.
It resonates with my own experience. It seems rather counterintuitive that, in an era of growing digitalization and consumer-centric services, some newspapers continue to employ tactics that hinder the cancellation process.

I believe this issue stems from the broader challenges that the print media industry faces, as they grapple with declining circulation and ad revenue. While it's understandable that newspapers would want to retain subscribers, making the cancellation process a nightmare only tarnishes their reputation and, in the long run, may result in even more subscribers seeking alternative sources of information.

A better approach would be for newspapers to invest in improving their digital offerings, making the subscription process more flexible, and providing subscribers with value-added services. This could include offering customized news feeds, interactive multimedia content, and easy access to archival materials. By focusing on the needs of subscribers and creating a seamless user experience, newspapers would be better positioned to maintain their relevance and grow their subscriber base.

It's high time that newspapers prioritize customer satisfaction and transparency. A frustrating cancellation process does nothing but alienate subscribers and contribute to the decline of the print media industry.
> So, if they don't want them linked to

Again its not clear cut. the license could be something like: "you are able to view these images as part of this website, anything else is prohibited" or "direct linking to these images is not allowed, these images are licensed only fir use as part of this website" or something along those lines.

Now, enforcing that is pretty hard. I'm also willing to bet that he didn't make any such license. But to say its a clear cut legal slam dunk isn't correct.
A leason I learned many long years ago is not to treat a customer cancelling a subscription as a lost customer, but as a customer going on holiday from you.

When you make the cancellation process smooth and friendly, if that customer is reconsidering at a later date, they will remember that their last interaction with you was a pleasent one.

If it's hard to unsubscribe - then their last memory is a bad one, and it's even harder to persuade that person to resubsubscribe again.

This is admitedly more applicable to industries with a lot of annual churn between suppliers - such as insurance, internet providers, power suppliers etc -- but it should be a rule of thumb for all companies.
This will just come to the point: "8 billion people have a brain and 99% of them use it wrong. a thread"

There’s been a couple cases for electron-exclusive apps (no web app) where the devs don’t even test anything but the exact build of Chromium their version of Electron is using which I thought was bonkers. There’s no good reason for an app to be so brittle that it breaks with different non-outdated builds of the same engine.
Considering even a thin client has abundant local compute power, I'm not sure where their border would lie. I use a couple Macs, all syncing data via iCloud, and a bunch of Linux machines that sync data via Dropbox (and local NFS in my home). Intermittent connection to the Internet is fine. As for corporations that are Microsoft-heavy, a lot of those are already in the single-point-of-failure point by relying on apps such as Exchange and Sharepoint, self-hosted or not.

Agree 100%. I'm a cycling fan and I refuse to subscribe to 4+ services to pick up the major races. I want the classics and big one-day races, the 3 grand tours, UCI XCO and DH, and all the world champ events.

As best I can tell...
The classics and spring season are spread across Flo, GCN+, and Peacock.

Giro is GCN+.

le Tour is Peacock.

Road worlds is Flo.

Vuelta is Peacock.

And the UCI mountain bike stuff is (mostly) on GCN+ (used to be Redbull, maybe)

I'd happily spend $300/year or so to get it all in one place. Instead, I end up watching highlights on Youtube. I don't torrent because I have an iPad, so I can't (without jumping through hoops) - but I'm tempted to grab a cheap PC just to torrent cycling.
> They want to be the Netflix of games, but to do that they need a large library of games

You don't need to buy Activision for that to happen. Netflix hasn't bought Universal or MGM. They purchase the rights to offer movies on their platform and at the same time produce their own content via their own production. Also Netflix doesn't own the hardware. That makes it very different to Microsoft, who own the hardware, the platform which you speak of (game pass) and also wants to own the production companies. This stinks of anti-competitive behaviour from miles if you ask me and is nothing like Netflix.
For developing markets playing through a controller attached to their phone, its pretty killer. Especially if they get cell providers to bundle in the service with an unlimited plan or as a trial offer.

You need to think of Cloud as the mass-market play, and the enthusiasts will want to own a cloud node (Series X) in their own home. The enthusiast console market tends to top out at ~140 million people, very small compared to the number of smartphones out there.
Because power / network / software maintenance events cause outages. Those are scheduled per zone, and so they will take down one zone but not a whole data center.

Are you familiar with our rural road infrastructure?

There are roads out here that don't even have lines, because they go so long between maintenance cycles that if they did paint them, they'd fade fast enough that they'd still spend more time without lines than with.

And how do you handle complicated intersections? Ones where there's 6 different roads all meeting in one place, with three separate pedestrian crosswalks, and traffic lights that handle directing the traffic to various different combinations of possible outflow roads?
The rise of AI seems to suggest otherwise.
But you ignore all of the headwinds that it faces. We live in a world where players will shell out big bucks for ultra fast monitors with <1ms lag, where gamers measure their abilities in actions per second, and where first perspective shooters LIKE COD are the most popular games and demand split second reactions. How do you expect them to be ok with >100ms ping and dropped packets? I have google fiber with 4ms ping and I hate the experience when cloud gaming.

A better title would be that some college degrees are worth their cost. Those averages hide a heavily skewed income distribution with arts majors living off government money or working a job their degree didn’t help them get, whereas STEM/medicine graduates quickly earn back their degree’s cost.
