Actually it's even worse because you would at least get 25 cents but the children being exploited won't ever see any of that money.

Also I'm not sure on the maths but I think you're being very generous with 25 cents. Shouldn't it be closer to a fraction of a cent?
You can't, but the model is different.

If Bitcoin transactions involved giving your private key to every entity you wanted to transact with (like how credit card numbers work), then this would be a problem.

Yeah, I was a little bit surprised it was so close. And I've been using tantivy (the library which powers quickwit afaik) in another side project where it used comparatively less.

Might jump in there then as an excuse to fiddle a bit more with the homelab soon then :)
Note that this requires a "nearby device", which is determined via Bluetooth. There are lots of desktop PCs without Bluetooth, so this requirement is kind of a serious problem.
You fail to take into account the main argument of the article. Which is that research shows that corporate profits increase has been responsible for more than half of the current inflation. With this in mind it's clear that there is a wide margin for unorthodox policies to succeed without the conventional issues they usually bring in a tight economic environment.
Margin accounts aren't that exclusive. I opened a margin account just because but I've never dipped into it. It's just a tool and if you know how to use it, good for you.

i smell a horrible movie plot. is eddie murphy available?
To me (a C++ daily driver and Rust hobbyist) this "DAG of strongly-connected" tiered graph system is sane and maps well to practice --- tightly couple your impl details however you want, then expose a clean interface at the crate level. It encourages you to split your code to separate files as you write _without immediately forcing you to untangle the dependency_, and then as "islands" of code organically form, which pieces belong to a separate crate becomes naturally evident.

Contrast this with C++ where the DAG relationship is enforced at much lower levels (e.g. Bazel cc_library, CMake target, which in normal cases correspond to a cc/h pair), shifting the friction (of having to deal with deps) much earlier in the dev cycle, which then discourages you from (incrementally) splitting a file at all. I've seen too many times this resulting in 5000+ LoC cc file.
I know people in the Sierra foothills who used to work in the logging industry until the bureaucrats made it impossible. I also know people in the same area who are fire fighters. When loggers used to find diseased trees they would isolate them by felling all the surrounding trees so they wouldn't infect them and spread. This practice was outlawed by the academic bureaucrats and is one of the reasons for the subsequent severe spread of dying trees that are the large scale fire fuel we see today.

At this point in history there is illegal logging going on to create fire breaks around properties, such are the state restrictions on trees. We have lost sight of the forestry management practices that worked with nature, not against it.

Have you ever considered the problem tech like this actually creates for their owners? This is why they didn't release it.

From a legal, PR, safety, resource, monetization perspective, they're quire treacherous products.

OpenAI released it because they needed to make money. Google were wise enough not to release the product, but as others have said, it's an arms race now and we'll be the guinea pigs.
It's indisputable that motorcycling is a relatively dangerous mode of transport. That said, where I live the required education and multiple exams for public road motorcycling are pretty comprehensive.

Most accidents involving multiple drivers/riders occur due to right of way errors. I've been motorcycling for around 5 years now (on a pretty slow bike) and used to commute that way exclusively. In my experience you're pretty safe if you ride like everybody's drunk and out to kill you.

I keep the fun stuff off road on a monster KTM dirt bike with a gearing that kicks up the front for the first 3 gears. :-)
Right, they'll save 99 and still need to buy a super expensive computer that probably has a huge markup due to taxes, shipping, and just being in a poor country.
It's hard to tell what's actually happening in that clip. To me it looks like the chain is actually fully off the rear sprocket just before the rear locks up (it appears to have come off around 1:12). At that point in time the rear wheel should just be free spinning. It also appears to be free spinning during the highside, which is strange because I would expect the most likely non-rider-error issue in this case to be the chain binding between the rear sprocket and the swing arm.

I'm almost inclined to call that one rider error. Their general body language and control of the bike don't suggest to me that they're an experienced rider, and it almost looks like they've just panic-braked and locked up the rear, except it's an odd speed and place to have done that too.

Warning: big piece of opinion that may trigger some of you.

In practice (feel free to verify this yourself by downloading and building the latest L4 derivative), microkernels that actually work on modern hardware need a huge amount of baseline code to get IPC and memory server working in a distributed yet somewhat performant fashion.

There is a flag for compiling Linux without any hardware and filesystem drivers. That gives you the kernel core in a surprising small binary which is not that far from sel4 or okl4.

In summary, monolithic is the new microkernel :)
> If you’re using AGPL-licensed software like a database engine or my own AGPL-licensed works, and you haven’t made any changes to the source code, all you have to do is provide a link to the upstream source code somewhere, and if users ask for it, direct them there. If you have modified the software, you simply have to publish your modifications. The easiest way to do this is to send it as a patch upstream, but you could use something as simple as providing a tarball to your users.

In well over 200 deals that I did DD for I have seen exactly zero IPOs (this is Europe though, in the US it may well have been a different mix).

On my own investments (quite a few by now; > 20) I've seen one big exit, one smaller one but still successful, and a number of acquihires. Besides the ones that crashed the remainder is still in play and probably will be so for years to come. And probably there will be one more big exit in there, I don't expect any of them to IPO.

Before covid, my coworkers would get half the office sick, including me, about 4 or 5 times a year. Back then it was just taken for granted that getting sick was a part of life. Well I haven't been sick in 3 and a half years since working from home, and masking, hand sanitizing, etc. Covid changed me, and I don't regret any of it.

I've lived the excesses of over-funded startups - I don't need the catered breakfasts and lunches, I don't need the endless snacks and drinks, I don't need the fancy desk chairs or fancy desks - I need to not get deathly ill several times a year.

That's the absolute #1 top reason why I won't go back to an office. It's not just about covid - it's about all viruses and illnesses that coworkers spread around the office. Heck no I don't want any of that in my life anymore. No thank you.

ChatGPT Plugins Don't Have Product-Market Fit
How many people do you see choosing to use Bitcoin rather than cash at marijuana dispensaries? I'm puzzled at how this is a rebuttal of "people don't want to use Bitcoin unless they absolutely need to" argument. If the issue is that taking credit cards is inconvenient for the seller, I don't think buyers generally see that as their problem so long as someone else is willing to accept them.
On the other hand, the rest of the world being exploiting wolves of capitalism fucking over everyone, obstructing most everyone trying to get started & make their way seems to be the actual evil here.

I agree there's potentials for the company to grow mean & sour, to exploit the position of granter of a reasonably good life. Ideally a good life should also be available by other means. What really is damned in this condemnation is the rest of the world, which lacks in offerances & alternatives.

The idea is that this is a destination company. Your whole premise is that people get exploited. Maybe over time that's true, but you will never create a destination company by being a shitty fuck.
I imagine it's some combination of building out a worldwide ad sales force, engineering to keep up with the resulting ad technology demands, and further engineering to keep up with the modern ML arms race.

Plus as you grow you need infrastructure to support your much larger employee base (everything from dev tools to HR).

Looks like their valuation has also grown in that time, from about 400 million 10 years ago to 10 billion in 2021 - not sure they have had a funding round since then but Fidelity recently cut their Reddit shares by 41% value, which would still put them at 5-6 billion. That's still a 10x+ return over 10 years.

Having only 20 employees might sound desirable on paper, but you simply cannot do with 20 employees what you can do with a larger company. Having only a couple people responsible for an entire region of ad sales is not scalable in the slightest.

Reddit has historically had an abysmal ARPU and part of that was because a sheer lack of people able to support the ad business. Reddit is now almost able to break even when I don't think they have ever previously been profitable (even with 20 employees).

> Incidentally, I'm not sure why road cyclists don't wear knee pads.

I mountainbike, started with trail and am now doing more XC. When I ride either type during training (or just fun rides), I always wear knee pads. But when I race XC I don't, even though often we'll do the same downhill sections (not black diamond obviously, but certainly rocky blues).

I think it might be that, at least in racing, knee pads restrict your movement a little. Though I've been wearing them for so long I don't even notice them anymore, and certainly if you wore knee pads on a road bike they would be less restrictive than even lightweight MTB knee pads.

> San Jose is not a real place

I'm writing from San Jose right now. I a few minutes away from downtown on my electric bike. It's a city like many others. I've lived in Orlando, San Diego, Seattle, Norfolk, Providence.

I'm guessing you worked long hours in an office park and shuttled between a generic apartment and your generic office park. That's dystopian, I agree, but it's not enough experience of a city to judge it and you could have that experience in many other cities.

I'm not really defending San Jose, I'm just saying it's no worse than most other cities. It lacks a waterfront. Cities with water fronts usually seem better.

Not enough information to answer that.

Is it an open office layout or a real office? If it is an open office, I will still need to work from home even if it's a 1 minute walk because it is impossible to get any work done in an open office.

But give me a real office with a closing door and I'll happily commute 30 minutes every day to use it.

Passkeys are not the same as biometrics. Passkeys are generated and stored locally but do not have to be generated or stored on your device. Password managers are already moving towards supporting storing your passkeys. While you could store passkeys in your Yubikey, the ideal scenario would be your Yubikey is your authentication mechanism for your device or password manager and disconnecting your yubikey will lock down your device and password manager. This way, the attacker needs your Yubikey and your device for gaining access. If you set a pin on your Yubikey when you connect it to a device, that would probably increase the security. Personally, I am eyeing something similar to the fingerprint scanning Yubikeys for my own purposes. But until then, using biometrics on my systems is sufficient. 1Password is also moving to passwordless passkey access at which point my flow would be

1. Unlock my device with a pin/fingerprint/face unlock

2. Unlock 1Password with this same mechanism

3. Unlock access to a passkey supported website/app using 1Password which will store my passkey for that website/app

Through all of this, an attacker would have to have access to my device and my device authentication mechanism for gaining access which still counts as 2 factor

Consider that companies may use somewhat predatory practices to entice customers to buy products that aren't strictly needed and may in fact be a waste of money. Base on this profile, identify tactics that such companies might use to exploit this psychological profile.

~

ChatGPT

While most companies strive to engage in ethical marketing practices, there may be some that resort to less scrupulous tactics. Here's how some of the traits identified in your psychological profile could potentially be exploited:

Practical and Responsible: Marketing strategies might highlight the practicality or financial savvy of their product, even if it isn't necessarily a good deal or necessary item. They might use phrases like "investment" or "money-saving" to make it seem like a prudent purchase.

Ambitious and Forward-Thinking: Companies could play into the fear of being left behind in technology or career progression, pushing products or services as the "next big thing" or a "must-have" to stay ahead. Expensive professional development courses or premium technology tools might be pitched as essential for staying competitive.

Curious and Open-minded: By appealing to your curiosity, companies might encourage you to buy new, innovative, but non-essential products, or to try out services just for the sake of the experience.

Outgoing and Enjoying Outdoor Activities: Marketers might use the fear of missing out (FOMO) on exciting outdoor experiences to push for the purchase of expensive gear, travel packages, or event tickets.

Defensive and Impatient: Companies could create a sense of urgency or limited availability to rush the decision-making process, exploiting impatience. The defensive trait might be played on by offering products or services that provide a sense of security or correctness.

Fear of Technological Redundancy: Marketers could prey on this fear by overselling the importance of certain technology products, online courses, or services, making them seem like the only way to stay relevant in the face of technological change.

Please note that this information is not intended to make you paranoid about marketing efforts but rather to help you be more aware of how your traits might be leveraged in marketing tactics. It's always a good idea to thoroughly research products, read reviews, and consider your actual needs before making a purchase.
My assumption is that larger designs means longer pipelines and that increases the penalty of missed conditional jumps. On a 3 or 5-stage pipeline things are not as bad.

" I have mixed feelings about my cybersecurity entrusted to such a faraway foreign land that's close to the whole Eastern Bloc"

Interestingly, I as a Czech have very mixed feeling towards security of anything coming from a big country such as the US. Big countries with a big national security apparatus can strongarm their businesses into all sorts of backdoors more efficiently.

If anything, the former Eastern Bloc is sorta culturally more wary about trusting governments and giving them intrusive powers. We were burnt thoroughly by the old governments being too powerful. Westerners often strike us as being naive with regard to their own political class, and too willing to give up their personal autonomy if a suitable boogeyman is invoked.
I don't think that really solves the problem... for instance, you can get your money back if the vendor does not render the product or service promised (with some restrictions of course). With Bitcoin, you're on your own.
I live in Europe. And love working from home. It's not that I hate going to the office, but it's so convenient to have the possibility work from home, since some days I need to focus. I often get much more done from home, since the workplace has a lot of distractions. I also have a family, and I get much more time with them. I think Google would benefit from giving a little slack there.
