Same, didn't see anything that was remotely Go other than a generic http handler written in PHP. The other part about handling 500,000 orders a month on a $6/host isn't very impressive. You can do orders of magnitude more with just PHP. You can do that in a minute with Go.
$18.3B in profit is pretty amazing by anyone’s standard. Especially with no pay bumps following.

20-30 years from now this will be used as a reference in history as an indication of how completely fucked up the world’s economy was at this time in history. It’s a signal. It’s a warning. It’s a sign of where we are heading. Only time will allow it to unfold. The typical naysayers can only be proven wrong with time and then they will look foolish. They just don’t know it yet.
So where are these smaller firms and where will they get funding in the current market?

In the case of MS, is a smaller firm going to overtake Windows? Azure? Office? Are the smaller firms going to win over the risk averse enterprise companies with long term contracts with Microsoft?

In the case of Google, is some smaller firm going to take over Search? The massive amount of resources to run YouTube? GCP? Google Suite? ChromeOS in schools?

That's precisely what they want you to keep believing.

The truth is every single aspect of every employee/employer relationship is political, and always has been. If you don't accept it, your children won't have a choice to.

Then once smaller competitors are out of business, raise prices.

Of course, force can go into it, such as when a big company sues a smaller company with a frivolous lawsuit that the smaller company can't afford to fight. Then the smaller company goes out of business, and the big company can use their ideas free.
I'll choose piracy, adblocking and freeloading.

It saves me money for actual physical goods.

So... Which do YOU want to pay? I'll choose to escalate the ad-adblocker-block adblocker war. Winning so far.
Right. But paying people and keeping your best talent there is a business concern I thought they’d be about. Guess not. Folks will vest shares and just leave me thinks. It shows they don’t care about their people. It’s unlikely that doing even the normal raises would jeopardize the company financially. Not in the least. So… and yet Nadella gets a big raise. Why? If he’s meeting his goals it’s only because his employees helped get the company there.
No, they're just going to move the goalpost. Once everyone is on board with subbing to YT, and they have enough revenue. They'll reintroduce ads because that's just leaving money on the table.

In the past, the Start menu only listed local apps. Nowadays, the Start menu is a glorified webview that loads arbitrary ads from remote networks and integrates with a half-baked AI. No wonder it's slow and buggy.

Open Shell (formerly Classic Shell) is a godsend that restores some semblance of sanity to the Start menu, but I'm not sure if it's compatible with Windows 11.
I think they would be happier if I stopped using adblock instead. If there are many others like me, that means less viewers for YouTube channels.
That may be true in Swift, which is a relatively new language that was evolving rapidly in the early years. For objective-C the rate of change has been much slower.

They’re not wrong… PHP7+ is blazing fast, has a huge library, gradual typing support, etc.

Who is going to strictly enforce all the laws? The excess police officers that can't be hired because they can't afford to live in the city and don't want to commute into a city they don't care about to make less money than other nearby communities will pay them? Fewer than 25% of SF cops live in SF.

It all comes back to housing. If you have a desirable place, people want to live there, and at some point if you don't keep up with growth then your city starts to lose the really important people that kept it running (nurses, teachers, police officers, etc).

It's not like SF almost kept up with growth... They didn't try and fell so far behind in a deliberate attempt to keep a status quo, which completely led to the current disaster.
As soon as the HN fun police see this they're going to kill it, though.

> the concept that PP may be trying to get across is scarcity:

It's pretty mysterious that you think you need to introduce this to the conversation at this point given how prominently scarcity dynamics figure into the comment you're replying to.

> Physical books are intrinsically scarce

Once their production was industrialized with printing press tech, copies of books weren't scarce, they were actually revolutionarily cheap.

The copyright bargain isn't borne out of ignorance of how changes in that direction affect the overall dynamic, it's borne out of deep understanding of what remains scarce and risky and difficult to compensate for when the marginal cost of producing copies drops drastically, and what kind of claims might help.
it is a dangerous simple view and it is why communisum brought so much sufferings because in the real world, it is not that simple though.
let's go along with your view. EVERY CEO from EVERY COMPANY must optimize for not hiring more than they think they need. The result would be that there would be much fewer jobs available in the market. Some of the 10000 humans would never get a good paying job in 2021 and 2022. Isn't it a worse outcome for these 10000 human beings?
I don't understand the framing here; isn't salary dependent on job competition in the market (one which is currently full of layoffs) and has little to do with company profts?

Bonuses are what are usually tied to company performance.

I'm simplifying, of course, but trying to understand the issue.
Yes, that is a decision based on the idea that the actual text of the constitution can be ignored - the literal first two phrases of the original text: "“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, ...".

True re exploits, though I would think they would put more trust in the test proctors, since they have to by necessity anyway, and design with the priority on no data loss.

I didn't downvote, but I think a financial incentive would outweigh any moral outrage from Turkmenistan's ruling members. Russia is certainly willing to engage in proxy wars as much as western nations. China seems to be building up military power, (still a fraction of the US) but doesn't seem to be so interested in inciting conflict (yet).

I agree that western nations could take a page out of China's book and look to having more of a presence in developing and underdeveloped nations, including financing and building infrastructure, but hopefully without seeking leverage (e.g., Sri Lanka.. though the incompetent government only has themselves to blame).

Personally, one of the things I like best about this site is that in the ~15 years I've been here, its UI basically hasn't changed. It's refreshing in a digital world where most companies change their UIs and brand identity for seemingly no reason every few quarters. Keeping the appearance of "Y" identical is comforting.
People bidding whatever they can afford is largely a lack-of-supply problem, is it not? If more housing of a given status level were available, eventually it wouldn't be necessary for everyone to spend everything they can on bidding wars. And sure, then you might say "well then the relative status of that housing has shifted and your peers still aren't saving, they're just spending their money on nicer housing", but I still see that as an absolute win. I have much more empathy for a person not saving money when saving money means "living in a dump and commuting 90 minutes each way" than when it means "living more than half an hour away from Central Park".
Good points. However, it’s also an extremely common reason people with ADHD use to go off their meds, when looking in from the outside they clearly weren’t addicted by literally any definition of the word.

It would be like if someone who suffered from chronic dehydration worried they were addicted to water because they were drinking the amount prescribed for them after having a medical diagnosis related to it, so they stopped. Then, of course, went back to the prior state which was ‘normal’ to them.

Which is why it’s all best done under the supervision of a qualified professional who hopefully isn’t a fuckup.
Imagine an EQ-valuing society instead.
Yep, I'm basically in the same boat.

> The truth is every single aspect of every employee/employer relationship is political

Employees are hired in order to create value for the company. Employees get jobs in order to get paid in exchange for that contributed value.

It's not political. It's the Law of Supply & Demand. Employer and employee cooperate for mutual benefit.
>Most of my favorite creators are there

>Doesn't disclose how much of that subscription actually ends up in creators' pockets.

Enough for your favorite creators to be there.

>Charges $23/mo for premium

It's $23/mo because people like you block ads. The ad blocker-blockers can't roll out soon enough. Fingers crossed.
Just made the same comment and deleted it seeing that you already stated it. Protecting against all of these is hard and no tech is going to automatically protect for all of this on its own. Such a weird statement to make that takes away from the message of the site entirely.
I don't think you're taking everything into consideration here.

For one it's not only creators who make money. You also have to pay for hosting/development as well as Google's own profit. So the cost to buy ads is clearly greater than $2 per 1000.

I just looked and apparently the cost to buy 1000 views is about $20. So your off by 1000% yourself.

At that rate premium is priced equivalent to 600 views a month or 20 a day. Which doesn't sound absurd to me for someone who uses it as their main source of screen time.

Remember ad views /= video views. There may be 4 ads per video which mean we're talking about watching 5 videos per day.

How many ads would you see in a day watching cable?

If you only use it a few times a week to look up the odd tutorial or something then it's probably not worth it.

For anyone who watches hours everyday it seems a no brainer. I reckon the only reason people aren't buying is because of habit. They're used to ads so a subscription seems outrageous. With Netflix they're used to a subscription so an ad seems outrageous.

Or maybe the people being outraged are different people, I dunno.

I am curious if there is a market for a "get things done" phone that runs a RTOS like the old BlackBerries and prioritizes LTS and operational efficiency above all else. Given startup cost I assume it would be in the US$3,000+ range which is not crazy for an "essential to business" device with guaranteed 10 year support and would still be far cheaper than something like Vertu.
I just can’t see this. HDDs hit a Pareto frontier in their niche not matched by tapes (slower access times, no real random access so expensive to fetch) and SSD (it will retain $/gb for the foreseeable future). Maybe electricity costs are significant but if you’re a hyperscaler storing exabytes, what else are you going to use to store the vast majority of infrequently accessed content?

Am I missing something?
The thing with the paid subscription is that the bastards still track you. Paying for the service does not exclude you from surveillance, it supposedly makes it less obtrusive. Ad-blocker is insufficient for anything close to anonymity, and so is everything else. But it does make the tracking harder and it does move you ever so slightly to the tail of every distribution that matters for fingerprinting.

Congress passes a budget of X. Congress passes an issue of Treasuries of Y.

If X is greater than Y then the remainder will turn up as negative capital at the Fed. By accounting identity.

The Fed has no legal authority to refuse a payment order from Treasury. The Fed just needs to account for the order and wait until Congress sorts itself out.

In other words there is no such thing as an empty chest and if Biden had any sense he would order the Fed to pay and then take it to court if the Fed refused.

Courts are used to interpreting conflicting instructions from Congress and the constitution.

This is a pay cut due to inflation. That's not a lack of a "bump"
I mean, it feels almost self-evident that you shouldn't hire more people than you need; if you don't need them then that's not an efficient use of resources.

Now, it's possible they hired all these people in anticipation of future needs, which is fair, but it doesn't take a hyper-genius to know that markets fluctuate, particularly after a global pandemic.

So at this point, either Satya Nadella is so stupid that he didn't know that markets tend to fluctuate, or he's gambling with human lives.
While the mRNA vaccines were great and developed a few months faster, the non mRNA vaccines also worked quite well. At least the J&J vaccine did (although they gave fewer doses and therefore it didn't get as strong a protection).
There have been so many layoffs that there is a glut of software engineers looking for jobs. The company's leadership knows that now, with labor supply up, they don't need to pay people the compensation they're currently paying. This is a way of reducing pay in real terms while not taking the more dramatic step of cutting wages.

If things turn around again hopefully people remember this. This wasn't a shared hardship between leadership and the line engineers.
No they’re not.

People clearly play the Iterated Prisoners Dilemma even in contexts where they’ve been intentionally isolated and freed from context (eg, psychology experiments) because we’ve evolved a group mentality — one that encodes game theory optima as a primal impulse.

Corporate leaders who forget that tend to blow their own company up, when humans instinctually repay defection with defection — as cold, hard math dictates they should.

We’ve seen many examples, in different context - from pay withholding to marketing campaigns that denigrate customers.

Fighting human nature is stupidity.

It is indeed a sorry state of affairs - even venerated journals such as Nature regularly publish papers which contain methodological errors so egregious as to be considered fraudulent and deserving of retraction.

There's also a lot of second-rate research published which is likely of no value to anyone, and only serves to clutter things up and make it more difficult for researchers to sift through the literature.

Prices are a function of supply and demand, including how much buyers can afford to pay. How much buyers can afford to pay is a function of profits.

A business with higher profits per employer can afford to pay employees more, but that does not mean it will, since prices are still subject to supply and demand.

Whether or not it is a salary or bonus does not matter, it is all part of the price the business pays for the labor.
It’s cool to see PHP getting its second heyday once again. It’s currently a perfect storm of two communities starting to notice PHP. From the JavaScript side, people are comparing React with PHP, and on the bootstrapped start up side, people are talking about just using a single index.php file for your entire product without dealing with a complex tech stack as inspired by Pieter Levels.

Some of the most fun I ever had writing basic CRUD apps and simple interactive websites was in PHP and Codeigniter back in the day. I'm pretty much Team Python now just because of the huge ecosystem but maybe it's time to give PHP another chance...
Actual summary:

> Shawn Rosemarin, VP R&D within the Customer Engineering unit at Pure, told B&F: “The ultimate trigger here is power. It’s just fundamentally coming down to the cost of electricity.” Not the declining cost of SSDs and Pure’s DFMs dropping below the cost of disks, although that plays a part.

> HDD vendors sing a different tune, of course. Back in 2021, HDD vendor Seagate said the SSD most certainly would not kill disk drives.

So the claim being made here is that SSDs will "soon" achieve a lower lifetime cost than HDDs per unit of storage, due to high electricity prices.
