I don't know why you're being downvoted. But I guess it's because everybody sees the fees but nobody sees how the base prices are lower than they would be otherwise.

Of course some people don't understand how capitalism and competition work and therefore don't trust that the base prices are lower than they would be otherwise. But that's just not understanding how the economics of the industry works.

It is not "growing". It is changing the work which can be good or bad. I "grew" to a manager (CTO in this particular case) in 100 person company some 20+ years ago and this got me to the point that I said fuck it, went on my own and am still happily doing creative work designing and implementing (including programming) products for clients and for my own company.

You are taking on a different challenge, not a bigger challenge. Almost all of your comment could equally describe going from being an engineer to being a dog walker, or a sous chef, or a roofer. Entirely different, and in your new career your prior skills will rapidly atrophy and become marginal.

In my closing on 30-year career in this industry, "managers" have been the least important part of any team, and had the least impact on success or failure. I'm not anti-manager at all (although I have spent my entire career trying to stop people who think they are rewarding me or giving me a promotion by giving me more "manager" duties. I have zero interest in deciding compensation or going to more meetings), it just truly is a position that is the closest to fungible. Everyone fear mongers about AI replacing engineers, but in the real world it could far more easily replace manager level resources.

> I find that thoughtful engagement with religion (Judaism in my case)

I've heard Judaism characterized as very accepting of discourse and reinterpretation of itself. Does this strike you as accurate? If so, it sounds like a kind of mental liquidity...

> When you accept on faith a handful of principles that deal with an unknowable domain

Sounds like mathematics, in which practitioners become used to both the process of relying on a set of axioms and selecting them for the purposes of exploring or constraining systems, which makes one aware that there's a certain degree of choice or even potentially arbitrariness to it...
Replying to my own comment, because I can't seem to edit it from this mobile app.

Thinking about this a little more, I had it a somewhat wrong above. Most of the carbon that makes up the animal comes from the air in the form of photosynthesis. So if it's re-released back into the atmosphere, that's not a net gain. So I suppose to be completely neutral there would need to be an equal amount of carbon being sequestered in the soil to offset the factors already mentioned, like transport and processing. That does actually seem conceptually possible.

There are plenty of things I dislike that are not fascism: soup as a main course, jogging, different flavours of authoritarian regimes.

Where I live no one pretends "libertarianism" is a real ideology. This has some upsides. For example, we can call a spade a spade. This doesn't, however, stop Peter Thiel's company from receiving enormous sums of money from the government to set up illegal, massive surveillance operations over its citizens.

How should we call those who use their massive wealth to undermine democracy and relax legislation so they can do as they please, if not fascists? Is "libertarian" already clear enough of a term?
The difference is that the mh370 pilot deliberately took actions to avoid tracking. At some point if you can’t trust the captain of your vessel, that person can disrupt or disable most any system put in place.

If the captain of the titanic intended on sinking the ship without a trace, he most certainly would have succeeded as well.

A more apt comparison would be AF447, which took a few days before the wreckage was found. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France_Flight_447
This is precisely what psychologists call “confabulation“. This is what hallucinations in language models should be called. For the same thing is happening there: An answer is given that is factually wrong, but that is plausible and consistent with a prior action.

People who aren’t old enough won’t understand how much hype this game had. I’m in my 30’s and still to this day no game has been more hyped and flopped for myself than spore.

The interesting part is had they went ahead with the “scientific” and realistic route, I’d bet the game would have sold so much more.
Well I’ve noticed work of russian propaganda professionals here. This is very worrying and must be stopped.

For those who think it’s not a big deal I wish to warn you that those come in numbers with the time an exhaust real people with all kind of malicious tactics including switching topics, twisting facts , personal attacks and even threats.

They never tired and take by numbers promoting designed narrative making any meaningful discussion impossible. There farms of those and I see dangerous development here because they are not stopped even though they break all the rules here.

That is based on the question "do they meat the threshold of originality?" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threshold_of_originality

> The threshold of originality is a concept in copyright law that is used to assess whether a particular work can be copyrighted. It is used to distinguish works that are sufficiently original to warrant copyright protection from those that are not. In this context, "originality" refers to "coming from someone as the originator/author" (insofar as it somehow reflects the author's personality), rather than "never having occurred or existed before" (which would amount to the protection of something new, as in patent protection).

This most often comes into play with graphics works, but is applicable to anything that may be copyrighted.

There are one liners are not sufficiently creative in their creation to warrant copy protection. However, note that this is a very low bar.

One thing to consider when reading these kinds of books is that sponsors pay to have their products listed. Yahoo was big on doing this. Excite was known to do this a lot.

> In January 1996, George Bell joined Excite as its chief executive officer (CEO). Excite also purchased two search engines (Magellan and WebCrawler) and signed exclusive distribution agreements with Netscape, Microsoft and Apple, in addition to other companies. Jim Bellows, then 72, was hired by Excite in 1994 to figure out how to present the content in a journalistic manner.[4] He paid good journalists to write brief reviews of web sites

We were doing something like this where I work also, but it's still more firepower than we need. We didn't have one SPA to represent the entire client — we have a few smaller Elm applications, and those are only in the places where we felt we needed a more complex and stateful UI.

In our case — building enterprise insurtech stuff — we can and should be smarter about how we design our UIs so that something as sophisticated as Elm isn't necessary.

We did invest a fair bit in that direction also. We have some clever Template Haskell code which generates Elm code (types, encoders, and decoders) so that the shape of the models stay synchronised across the boundaries. This does work nicely, but it's yet more stuff for us to compile, and it's yet more code for us to own.

I would rather we design our product better and remove the need for some of this code, rather than just try to code around every problem.
Companies have security protocols for whatever they want to protect. What they consider protecting is their business. New product prototypes, or just random possible product explorations are a common example. And the protocols they use (special enclosures, training people on how to not be obvious) are figured out the same way they are in computing, In fact the core terminology we use in computer security comes from physical security.

And security protocols go back thousands of years. You can read about them in ancient literature,
No, that wouldn't make any sense. I would count them as anarchists.

You can probably hack suckless' st terminal to do this without too much effort (just checking for \x1b[41m and \x1b[100m and the reverse attribute is probably enough, not many use the 256 colours or true colours to set the background, although you can make it as complex as you want).

For 99% of things it's not really an issue so I never bothered: you can either configure the colours or you can just disable them fairly easily.
ESEA? Do you mean EASA?
The startup now has to spend $X more implementing handling those regulations rather than building an MVP and finding PMF. This might be the difference between success and failure. Thus there will be fewer successful startups than in the world without the regulation.

Conversely a big corporation will lose some % of profit to dealing with the regulation (or perhaps it will just raise prices if it’s not competitive). But it’s not an existential concern.
The current theory is that the pilot of MH-370 was able to disable most of the tracking equipment, while the plane moved away from any major population centers.

I wouldn't touch that game after the DRM in that garbage screwed with my GPU (9800GTX+ suddenly no longer to utilize 16:9 resolutions) and my DVD drive writing capability was wiped out, both immediately after installing the Spore Creature Creator.

EA got smacked really hard in that courtroom. They settled immediately.
> show a sinking titanic was heard both in london and new york, but a modern(...ish) MH-370 can just dissapear?

What do you mean by "heard both in London and New York"? The Titanic was actively sending out distress signals via telegraph as it sank, but those signals weren't strong enough to reach land. They were picked up by other nearby vessels and relayed.
The short answer to that is: No.
The long answer to that is: Change zoning so that people can actually respond to a carbon tax that is high enough to capture the externalities of using gasoline and people will make choices that are better for the environment, while being the best for their particular needs, all on their own (You don't need to make the current thing illegal and you don't need to leave this with the NIMBY captured city government either, you can push allowances at higher levels of government that are not as NIMBY captured). The extremely inelastic demand for gasoline is largely driven by the geography of cities, which is directly dictated by zoning and building codes that force extremely low density, large dwellings. Change the zoning, change the cost of petrol and people will demand smaller and denser, which makes public transit and maintained bicycle infrastructure feasible, which increases elasticity of gasoline demand and in turn lowers the carbon tax needed to drive lower usage. It's a vicious or beautiful cycle all driven by what is allowed and not allowed in your zoning and building codes.
I try to make them efficient... So indirectly yes.
A great novel by one of my favorite authors -- I think the way to understand Tao is he is simply trying to be as 100% purely honest as possible, to really grapple with what it means to be alive, in each and every tedious (or awkward or tender or...) moment. But he's doing that from the perspective of someone who never managed to enter into & find satisfaction in all the various social structures that most people use to find meaning in their lives.

(I think there is increasingly an epidemic of people like this this, and you could speculate as to why, e.g. maybe something about breakdown of social structures, or maybe something about unhealthy environments creating autism/autistic-like traits, or maybe dot dot dot -- lots of a possibilities.)

Anyway, no author I have ever read matches the reality I myself have personally seen and experienced as closely as Tao Lin. I think if you're fortunate enough to not be in that kind of reality, Tao's books must seem strange and pointless. But if you are in that kind of reality, or have experienced, or a neighboring one -- they are magnificent. (Every book is after all ultimately a collaboration between the author and the reader...)
Reality is a bit sad though - those convenience stories barely survive on tiny margins, owners pay a lot to franchises, must be open as franchise says, pay is terrible. Google would find some articles in English about that.
Cutesy stuff is mostly just a culturally dependent thing, our appetite in the U.S. seems rather low whereas sensibilities in Japan and maybe East Asia in general are much higher. But really, in my opinion, if you're going to do something cute in a UI, the most important thing is to treat it like art rather than directly as means to accomplish some "business" end like appealing to a demographic or worse, for emotional manipulation. It's best if it's done to authentically make something pleasant and comfortable, rather than to check some weird boxes from the higher ups. Otherwise, it's going to feel immensely fake, and fire off the bullshit alarm of a large population of people.

Yes, people can look you up and threaten you and that has happened to me more than once now.

Criminals use it a lot which is increasingly a large problem due to the mass immigration that has sky-rocketed violent crimes in our country. They also use it to hijack peoples identity (haven't happened to me), since the social security number is available to everyone.
Corporate income taxes are already terrible for health and create awful incentives. Ultimately corporate profits go to individuals so we should only tax them at that point. (Or have just a consumption tax, which kind of solves all these problems)

No, it sounds like a car commercial.
> What made Moses a great (as in powerful) urban planner was his ability to mold policy decisions to his values, not the values of the neighborhoods that he bulldozed, much less the values of the elected officials who represented those neighborhoods.

I think this is key. Regardless of the values, we have built up a system where everyone can veto a project, or require more studies and concessions such that the price increases significantly. So we end up in an equilibria that nobody particularly wants, where nothing gets done, and the few projects that squeak-in cost too much.

We need better mechanisms to solve the collective action problems. A more consolidated transit authority, with more unilateral power, that nevertheless still had an elected odd member board with majoritarian decision making power would potentially do it. But a big part of the problem is that we can't fundamentally satisfy everyone. We need to optimize everyone's interests and compensate where we can't, but consensus on this stuff is rarely possible.
Wow, I'd never seen those before. As far as ads go, those seem really stand-out—seriously creative, and even self-deprecating for the sake of promoting XP.
Contrary to common opinion here I think this is a small thing. The way these things work in the Netherlands, an intelligence agency would currently not intercept any communication from a "stepping stone" hacked by a criminal organisation, because it would be outside the scope of their warrant. That's a stupid limitation to have because it's very common to perform attacks from other hacked machines and not your own. (And for the bad guy's connection to such a server to be encrypted and useless to intercept)

What's a bit bigger in this thing is that they would be allowed to actively hack into such a machine themselves instead of just intercepting communications. However that has to be proportional with extra emphasis on the rights of the non-target. That practically means they can only do it in severe cases and not to get information on the non-target.

Those suggesting this could be used to "just" hack random citizens are exaggerating. That would not be accepted by the oversight agencies.
It might make more sense if we consider a physical analog: it's already generally the case that the police don't need to get a warrant to enter private property in a hostage situation, or when there's an active shooter, etc. This doesn't mean it's _necessarily_ a good thing in either case, but it's less sensational if you don't frame it as something unprecedented.
I just can’t understand the US’ rationalisation of the current state of gun regulation being ok. So only 21,000 of the year’s gun deaths were murders… here in the UK where we cracked down on firearms after the first instance of a school shooting there 35 murders with a firearm in 2021.
