> Such hoarding of tech talent represented a tragic misallocation of productive capacity. The likes of Amazon, Meta, Google, and many others added tens of thousands of positions to already bloated bureaucracies, which often just made them slower and less capable.

I think they used P2P networking to serve the audio files before they switched to centralized server hosting?
What? No, I think it'd be great! I'd love to be able to say out loud "kube get pods pipe grep service" and the output to be printed on the terminal. I _don't_ want to say "Hey Google, list the pods in kubernetes and look for customer service".

The transfer between my language and what I can type is great. It starts becoming more complex once you need to add countless flags, but again, a structured approach can fix this.
I reserve the right to remain snide toward anyone who holds such insulting and condescending views toward "most people". Asserting civility, in such contexts as this one, is often used as nothing more than an excuse to avoid confronting your own antisocial behavior, however politely you manage to frame it. Social contracts need not be adhered to by either side once broken. If you wish to reinstate it, be my guest, but that's not my obligation.

It's not that they can't understand it, it's that there's plenty of other stuff to pay attention to out there, for better or worse. The threat of cold and hunger comes before more abstracted threat vectors, and you are extremely lucky to have the mental space to consider and discuss such things as privacy on this here website. If you want to ride high on your sense of innate superiority, accept for yourself the mission you seem to imply for the technologically-literate and make privacy so simple even a small child could be protected.

All of this, plus the lower noise floor during an outage means you can probably get usable signal from towers that would ordinarily be useless.

The cable network _should_ have many hours of backup, but they don't take it as seriously as the telephone network. Was built for entertainment, after all, so it doesn't have reliability in its core engineering.

> Is your Amazon shopping experience better than 10 years ago?

No. Actually the site is overridden with fraudulent items, and the quality is in severe decline. The print-on-demand books are poorly printed, there's no way I'm buying anything over $100, especially not electronics. I can't trust any food items. The reviews are littered with bots. Not to mention, Amazon completely ruined Whole Foods.

It's bad. As in, severely broken supply chain bad. I can't "trust" what I purchase from Amazon's website anymore.

> Is product discovery easier?

Maybe from 10 years ago, however in the last 2 years something happened with Search. It's routinely mis-categorizing items, which makes finding the item I want much harder. And it's riddled with ads and product placements (again for items that have low semantic overlap with what I am querying).

> Are you confident that you’re getting genuine merchandise?

No.

There was actually a person in a different post who commented on being one of the few persons who had a team to work on fraud detection. And when they left Amazon the project was immediately dropped. Amazon knows this is an issue. We, the consumer, are just being sold short. It's not okay.

> Are delivery promises being met?

No. In fact Doug spoke in February about improving delivery times ("last mile" as it's sometimes called)[1]. The exact opposite has happened. From the article:

'Amazon now faces a class-action lawsuit in federal court for "false advertising" and "negligent misrepresentation" over Prime's two-day shipping guarantees.'

In Doug's minor defense, the previous CEO of Consumer Goods, Dave Clark, was positively abhorrent. And Clark's actions and decisions cost Amazon huge monetary and employee losses. It doesn't justify the poor decisions made since Clark's departure (e.g., requiring customers file police reports for Amazon's wrongdoings; refusing customer refunds; banning customer accounts; knowingly selling fake goods; employing child labor).

> Are the prices competitive with other online and offline retailers?

Yes, in a way that is predatory. For instance "Price Labs" is Amazon's new gimmick to overcharge some customers and under charge others, dynamically, to further eliminate 3rd party vendor competition.

In the last 1.5 - 2 yrs, it's gotten a lot worse.

Its unfortunate because, common people of Pakistan are reeling under high inflation and lack of jobs and opportunities. There are the political parties involved - corruption run amok. The army profits in cash, whichever party is in power. I guess the dried up US financial handouts means the army has to steal money from its own people.

Mobs burning Armed forces buildings - this is a new one because the Army has always been successful in selling their narrative to the common people.
Nestbox will even let you run virtualized Linux on a non-rooted Pixel 7 or 7 Pro.
It seems to me that the sorites paradox is merely a function of semantics, i.e. the use of a single collective noun rather than a descriptive phrase.

For example, a “my collection” rather than “some objects that I collect.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorites_paradox

With respect to the psychology of reasoning, as discussed in the paper, the logical steps that appear to make sense but result in failed conclusion are a result of choosing to prove the “collective” as a chain of intervening parts of the collective instead of proving the individual components of the collective and finding the intersection.

Interesting article. Thank you.
Now I'd like to be able to legally run MacOS on a virtual machine or on AWS or Azure or Google Cloud or something. I know you can rent a bare metal Apple Mini or something, but Apple's terms of service make this all basically illegal to use like any other VM.

That means if I want to develop an app for iOS (beyond just what you can do in Swift Playgrounds), I can't just boot up a VM or AWS instance, I have to either buy an actual Mac Mini (cheapest option) or rent one.
That's a lot of trust to put in one erratic billionaire

Because anything other than being dead tree leaves is an attempt to increase the publisher's margins rather than improve my course pedagogy.

Online quizzes are one-shot and time limited--it's merely coincidence that they prevent you from reselling the book, right? Anything "online" is only "online" as long as the servers are being maintained (read: profitable). "Renting" a book means it can get pulled from your hands at any time. "Online" means you have to cough up (sometimes quite a lot) of personal information to register for access. I can go on and on.

On the other hand, several copies of dead tree leaves can be placed in the library on reserve. You can resell dead tree leaves, and you can buy used dead tree leaves (any of the books I require for class are classic books--they have reference value to others as well as for my class).

Sure, unencumbered PDFs would be as good as dead tree leaves (maybe better as they are more searchable). I just haven't seen a textbook publisher provide one--ever.
Hypothetically, if sideloading is allowed

1. How do you access said apps? There has to be some repository storing the apps.

2. Certain regions can straight up ban sideloading by only allowing pre-approved app stores (eg. Mainland China). Ofc there will be technical ways to bypass this, but you are limited by technical knowhow and internal intelligence agencies abilities to find those people.

3. You could make using certain apps with such capabilities illegal. People may try to use it, but if found among a small set of protesters, they can just be "isolated". How do you prevent that?
The tricky thing is that receiving radio transmissions is also usually detectable - and a transceiver has to, by it's nature, transmit.

My takeaway from his statements is that if you sum up all of human knowledge then add every unique bit of knowledge that humans could uncover in the next 20 years, there’s a plateau and that plateau is probably lower than our dreams of what LLMs can do.

> press offices in every major city in Pakistan.

Which Indian newspaper has press offices in "every major city in Pakistan"?

> Lots of Pakistani journalists publish in Indian newspapers due to censorship in Pakistan.

Nonetheless, Indian media has consistently shown to provide either outright false news, or very exaggerated facts to suit Indian narrative. One example is :

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/12/11/eu-ngo-report-unco...

> The researchers said they had “uncovered an entire network of coordinated UN-accredited NGOs promoting Indian interests and criticising Pakistan repeatedly. We could tie at least 10 of them directly to the Srivastava family, with several other dubious NGOs pushing the same messages.”

Trusting any content from an Indian news source about Pakistan without corroboration is entirely like trusting Russia when it's talking about the Ukraine War.
I don't think this is logical. You said "oil is not turned into fertilizer" but then you agree, oil can be used to do it. And, in reality, nearly all nitrogen fertilizer uses oil as the feedstock, so probably, in the future, don't say "you don't know what you're talking about" unless you are 100% technically correct, which in this case, I don't think you were.

There's one more cache that people often run into / get foiled by: various applications like browsers and JVMs also cache DNS responses. In firefox, see about:networking#dns , in chrome it's chrome://net-internals/#dns .

The JVM infamously doesn't (didn't? is this finally fixed?) respect TTL in DNS responses by default. Each name gets looked up once and then cached for the duration of the java process. This has caused innumerable support issues, particularly with zookeeper, kafka, etc. There's some setting you can use to force it to expire its cache after some number of seconds, but as far as I know you can't tell it to just honor the TTL from the response.

There's a reason that this poster exists https://www.cyberciti.biz/humour/a-haiku-about-dns/
I'm not saying they key to good health is a big secret. I'm saying we're bad as a society or as human beings at objectively tracking this stuff and correcting negative trends often before it's too late. I've experimented with my body and nutrition a lot, with noticeable outcomes. You can't eat and know the next day that what you ate had too much refined sugar, or that it was organic and lacked toxins, just be how you feel. It takes weeks of not eating well before you notice anything and then months to years of the habit to gain enough weight to be obese. And some people eat like shit and feel great and don't get fat yet are wildly unhealthy inside. And some people are bigger than others and in pristine health. Diet is a huge part of health, yes, but there's more to health than diet... and how the heck does a person who's e.g. deficient in Vitamin D even know they are unless it's adversely affecting their mood. And even then how do they diagnose it and correct it when doctors are ~~bribed~~ encouraged with gifts to prescribe designer drugs for every problem.

My argument is that this information about your body should be more accessible so people are empowered to learn it and act on it of their own volition. If that were the case I bet we'd see less crack pop science surrounding diets and nutrition. Anyway your car analogy doesn't really hold. I can plug a $100 device into my car and diagnose what's wrong and read any data I want. It will tell me when I need to change the oil. I can look at the tires and see if they've worn past the safe level and replace them as needed. I can't do that with my body. The only consumer devices available are blood glucose and keytone test strips. There's no consumer "full blood panel" what would solve the problem the person I responded to shared. And consider women going through pregnancy, it's very very easy to be missing some key nutrients. It's common practice to supplement with pre-natals for the entire fertile phase of a woman's life. All because a lot of changes happen to your body that are hard to understand subjectively, so just spray and pray with vitamins and iron.

I'm sure this is at some level by design by the AMA. If people had access to low cost blood tests then we'd be undercutting a huge component of the medical industrial complex and the AMA does shady shit to keep doctor salaries high enough to justify all the schooling and certification fees.

Also where did you get that 75% number? Anecdotally it's not accurate. Obesity is higher than it should be but 3 of every 4 people are not obese even by the > 30 BMI metric.

So, again, why would more open access to baseline metabolic metrics be a bad thing?
There are, for example, buddhist monks that repeat the same ritual for their whole life. The sadness could be in the eye of the beholder.
This 17-acre farm was enough to keep about eight humans alive if it had been the sole source of agricultural production to feed them.

That's the fundamental equation, and it generally assumes a vegan diet as well. Nobody has ever been able to reduce this value, it's related to the solar input and the ability of plants to capture carbon into a human-digestible energy source.

It'll be worse on Mars, of course, due to the reduced intensity of sunlight.
If you had a backdoor to feed fake intel to Russia, would you shut it down before a Ukranian offensive or would you feed them some juicy fake intel?
not sure what you hoped to accomplish with that. yes all documents are a byte array. this is not the same thing a the STRING type. this JSON document:

0

and this JSON document:

0.0

might compose a different stream of bytes, but by your own admission, they get parsed as the same type and value, 0. the only way to distinguish the difference in a parsed document, would be to present a string type as the input document:

["0", "0.0"]

but even then, you're only retaining difference in meaning after parsing, BECAUSE the values are strings, not numbers. so your comments have only proven that some byte arrays are different, and some resultant strings are different than others. so congrats?
I’m pretty sure the war in Ukraine and the following energy crisis is responsible for this one year increase in Coal. I’m also pretty sure that 2021 energy usage was still recovering from the global pandemic yielding an abnormally low usage. Comparing only these two years is manipulating the data to fit your narrative. Climate change deniers are known to employ similar tactic when they they say: “See, in this one weather station in Alberta between July 1996 and January 2003 the temperature actually cooled”
OpenAI is going to make a difference here. These filings are often challenging to read for a lay man. However, ChatGPT should be able to have a decent go at mood analysis. Until companies start rewriting their articles to be OpenAI "proof"

This honestly makes the raves sound kinda fun. I appreciate the author is self aware enough to realize they’re writing a cheesy “things were cooler X years ago” and nod to the fact that everyone is imitating someone, nothing is that original.

What Devs Can Learn From Writers
"One precept about writing I admire does not come from a novelist or journalist but a museum designer. Good writing, according to Edwin Schlossberg, 'create[s] a context in which other people can think.' It helps them picture, mull, respond. It gives them space to do so - like a museum exhibit. In a similar way, good code makes room for readers... It helps them reason."
Lol this is literally propaganda. One could say the same about Modi and his RSS mob.

The original post was making a point about humanity, and you hijacked it with your own agenda. Way to go bud.
> In each case there is a reason, you know, like a blatant violations of human rights, mass rapes, ethnic cleansings, things like that.

Some of those sanctions are for these reasons. Others are for geopolitical reasons.

Imagine China imposing sanctions on America for geopolitical reasons such that you are unable to buy food for your kids. This amount of power is never admired.

> You don't need to tamper with the client to cheat.

You do if you're trying to cheat using software alone. Hardware-assisted cheating will continue to occur, but without access to software-only cheats, the total size of the cheating market is considerably less.

Anyone could use the Konami code in games that accepted it, because it cost nothing and was easy to remember; someone who doesn't otherwise cheat might do so because it's so easy. But to use a Game Genie cheat, you had to buy a physical object, and look up codes in a manual of cheats, and know that you were cheating, and see that cartridge reminding you each time you play. That awareness stops a lot of people from cheating.

Today's cheating opportunity cost is more Konami than Game Genie — no hardware required, just enter your CVV code to enable the cheat.
"everyone's meeting up at the pizza place to hang out"

There are obviously ways around that -- a lot just won't bother.

And sure, someone that isn't that courteous might not be worth being around, but if it's a loose social group with a common interest there will be others there that might be.

Their social lives revolve around their phones. Not having a phone impacts it greatly.
Looking good now!
Hah, this is the keyword substituter incorrectly substituting "event" -> "action" (Action cards were called Event cards in an earlier version of the game). I'll fix that, but in any case, there's not any notion of preventing future damage currently.

P.S. Discord (https://discord.wordbots.io/) or GitHub (https://github.com/wordbots/) would be the best place to report issues like this at the moment.
I was running up Twin Peaks in SF today when a woman in a car called out to me and asked me a question about the entrance to the park. I stepped into the road to answer her, and didn't pay attention. A jeep swerved around me (fairly close) while honking.

It was a reminder that, if you want to run for a long time and you're growing older, you've really got to think hard about safe routes & how to stick to them.

For example, for this guy, if you're going to run 8 miles for 50 years, then safety would be the top concern - especially in your 70's. You can't do much better than a beach route. Soft surface, no cars, no way to screw up and fall and easily injure yourself: that scores like a 10 out of 10 for a running route. And 50 years of daily running can add up to a lot of risk. For example, 1 close call with a car every 1,000 runs = 18 close calls over 50 years.

I'd probably make the same choice in his position.
Not at all: it s not because we have to alternate we should tolerate corruption, and what you see a lot is investigations catching up to criminals.

At least as a French even if we sue a few former presidents here and there, I still accept my candidate loses and we try something else for a whole (I vote Macron, as centre right).

I dont think the US should count much: they dont really transfer power, there are the same immutable parties that havent welcomed a serious challenger for decades playing theatre while having policy continuity by most standards, bar a few candies for the populace at the edge.

The idea of using Go and Alpine.js together for building reactive web apps seems promising. As you mentioned, Fir is targeting devs with moderate HTML/CSS & JS skills.

How does Fir handle more complex scenarios such as nested components, handling form submissions with client-side validation, and integrating third-party APIs or libraries?

Does the toolkit offer any built-in functionality or guidelines for handling these cases, or is the developer expected to handle them using custom code and Alpine.js plugins?

Also the site is super slow!
