Please, people have been forced into cities. WFH isn’t near as common in other industries and even for most tech workers it has been temporary.

The rural county I live in saw an influx of people moving very far from the city, only to be forced to leave again because of RTO. We had a huge population boom, only for it to be ripped away by shortsighted managers who don’t care about what their workers want.
Sponsored post. I love the idea but I think we are super failing to sociize what this means. We can build systems which expose value in common cloud systems ways.

But advocating the advatange & showing how to make this happen are both weak. The only major counter arguments are rank anti-kube pissants with low critiques. There's not even a strong enough front to emerge anything beyond low discord. Once we can have some in depth critique of what cloud could or should be, what's wrong with what we have rather than petty pissing, we'll have a netter chance of recalibrating.
I don't agree that a regulatory agency saying "hint hint time to register" for years on end is an effective way to regulate.

The first step of effective regulation is to state exactly what is out of compliance, which they finally did only a few days ago by listing which particular coins are the ones that put Coinbase out of compliance.

The second step is to explain why those particular coins cause them to be non-compliant and why other coins (Bitcoin) are exempt, in such a way that Coinbase has rules they can apply to determine whether a particular new coin is compliant or not. That clarity is the part we're still waiting for.
Google doesn't sell your data. They use your data to sell ads. Big difference. Cambridge analytica was a Facebook scandal, not Google.

And if you haven't noticed, literally every tech company (apple, Amazon, Ms, Netflix,...) is now attempting to get in on the online ads market.

It only seems free for home use because the activation key for the home version is embedded in NVRAM of the machine by the OEM. You pay the OEM when you buy the machine, and they pay Microsoft.
Make it illegal to sell personal information and the incentive to collect it goes away.
I also don't know the solution, but I'm reasonably sure closing essential services like hospitals is not part of it. Unfortunately, the kind of policies that might keep those places open get soundly rejected by people who live in those communities, or at least by the people who represent them. I grew up in a rural community and am sometimes wistful for it, but I don't want to move far away from medical care, internet, reliable power, and other basic services and all of those have only gotten worse where I grew up.
Nice redirection of focus there.
Have you got SecureBoot working well on Linux? My last try was with Fedora 34, and I had to manually reinitialize TPM with every kernel upgrade. One of the serious issues that keeps me on Windows.
> Really I think we just need better APIs from the browsers to customize when a scroll bar is shown (again, not on the page level but within scrollable elements)

What do you have in mind beyond "always show", "show if needed", and "always hide"? Those have all existed for decades as "overflow: scroll", "overflow: auto", and "overflow: hidden".

Killing what doesn't make money? If this was profitable what exactly are the 'corporate overlords' achieving here?

This corroborates something I read that I'm paraphrasing: If you want a successful business, solve a problem and sell it.
Correct, because over that size a number of censorship and monitoring requirements come into play. A lot of WeChat's early success was focused around keeping things more private. The 500 limit is part of that.
I've been so slow to make it happen but my ceph/rook cluster premise is that this is fine. Usb really should not be a problem at all.

I'd argue that remote work hasn't normalized for long enough yet for this conclusion to be reached. Also, it doesn't account for the 3.6 million Boomers who retire every year, begin collecting Social Security, and who can then move to rural areas with their income not tied to a physical wage earning location.
I like trying different beers and having novel experiences. Trying a local beer isn’t always amazing, but sometimes it’s unique and great, worth the risk to me.
Dear user, while you browse sites,

No, I mean it needs to be $7.25/hr flat and tips are on top of that.
Local ingredients must be incredibly niche though? The amount of US beer that must use imported UK, German, Belgian hops? Even if grown locally, the varieties. at which point this is like comparing Shiraz & Syrah; South African Merlot with Australian. Except without a record of it making a difference at all itself - intuitively it should be subtler - hops are a component, 'grape juice' is the whole thing. The water used for ale (more analogous to grapes really) does have a documented effect. That's probably more homogenous than it used to be, and the big boys probably use distilled water and add whatever mineral components they want, but certainly that could be significant for US vs UK microbreweries, or certain intra country comparisons.
It used to be somewhat difficult to track a reader's progress solely from the browser's scrollbar. Not impossible, but it wasn't something the average code-camp newbie could figure out. So sticking a stupid "Read More" button on the page was the default solution.

That still seems to be the solution for a whole lot of websites, even though the Intersection Observer API now exists.

I don't get it.
I don't really care. I've got a large enough international stock allocation that if the USA loses its status as the financial capital of the world over the next several decades, I'll be just fine in retirement.

Companies like Coinbase and a16z have publicly stated their intentions to establish international arms to hedge against the US regulatory environment, and there's no reason my portfolio can't follow their lead.

If anyone ever wondered what the symptoms of urban blight were before NYC became the mess it was in the 1970s, SF is exhibit A. The city's leadership has driven out its anchor businesses, tax base, corporate travelers, and much more. Federal bailouts are SF's only hope.

What’s going to have the faster latency? Memory chiplets on the same substrate as the cpu cores or memory dimms sitting in a housing a few inches away?

I’m sure there’s more than a few factors making latency faster for those chiplets.

https://www.anandtech.com/show/17431/apple-announces-m2-soc-...

Edit-but I don’t think this question is about latency exactly. If you’re editing a large file that fits in 196gb ram all at once then those edits should benefit by apparently an order of magnitude higher bandwidth. It’s going to be able to address all of its ram several times per second while the i9 will take much longer (roughly). That and similar speedups from the whole systems engineering should make up some for not having more ram. Think how 8 gig of ram in the m1 was widely reported to be more usable than expected when announced.
Norm from Tested, a highly credible source for VR, actually mentions the FOV is akin to Valve Index's: https://youtu.be/f0HBzePUmZ0?t=825

This is actually a bit disappointing since I would rather not have to move my entire head to look at a virtual side monitor. It seems like the technology is there now and many companies are looking into it, hopefully other headsets will be released with higher FOVs: https://youtu.be/y054OEP3qck?t=283

Another noteworthy point from that video: Apple has bought Limbak, an optics specialist that was formerly tied with Lynx R1's optics. This means Lynx can no longer use Limbak's future optics that, admittedly, fall short in scaling to higher resolutions. Now, Lynx has shifted its gaze to hypervision optics, intent on preventing a similar acquisition by another tech behemoth like Apple.
Old timers like me remember when you couldn't buy Coors east of Kansas City.

There's a huge difference between:
- Don't use this, it's harmful to you, and
- Don't use this, it won't make things actively better.

Study after study has shown that it is extremely, almost absurdly difficult to lose weight and keep it that way in the long term.

If "not actively causing long term weight loss" is the only criteria for advising against something, then we should be advising against a heck of a lot more things that are perfectly fine.

It's phrasing like this that causes people to go on crusades against random foods, rather than actually using moderation in all things.

Based on all available evidence, it is probable I am right. We have no evidence of increased rate of incidence of ALS, which you would expect to see given how many people were vaccinated.

You linked to a single case report. It does not establish any type of causal link at all. That single person was most likely going to develop ALS at the time whether he had been vaccinated or not.

Nah, the alternative is why cops get away with everything via qualified immunity. Conmen don’t get given a pat list of what is and isn’t allowed; no one wants to play the “but you saaaaaaid!” game that results.

I've been pushing to try SQLite as a "sacrificial memozation." Basically we have two tasks separated by 5-10 days. When we do the first task, we calculate a bunch of information as a "side effect". At the second task, we don't have that information and trying to reconstruct it without the original context is very slow, because a lot of it is dependent on temporal state-- what was happening 5-10 days ago.

The other use case I'm eager to explore is as persistence of status data in a long-running process. Occasionally the task blows up halfway and although we can recover the functional changes, we lose the reporting data for the original run. If we save it in a SQLite database instead of just in-script data structures, we don't have to try to reverse engineer it anymore.

In both cases, I like the idea of "everything's one file and we nuke it when we're done" rather than "deal with the hostile operations team to spin up MySQL infrastructure."

LLMs are not particularly good at arithmetic, counting syllables, or recognizing haikus, though, because (contrary to the thesis of the article) they don’t magically acquire whatever ability would “simplify” predicting the next token.

I don’t feel like the points made here align with any insight about the workings of LLMs. The fact that, as a human, I “wouldn’t know where to start” when asked to add two numbers without doing any addition doesn’t apply to computers (running predictive models). They would start with statistics over lots of similar examples in the training data. It’s still remarkable LLMs do so well on these problems, while at the same time doing somewhat poorly because they can’t do arithmetic!

The "rentiers" aren't the ones who shut down the economy (that would be bureaucrats and politicians at every level) and have any say over interest rates (that would be central bankers). Seems strange to blame them for all of that.

Besides, why do you say that higher interest rates are harmful to the "productive class"? For every consumer who has to pay extra in their mortgage or auto loan due to higher rates, there sits a saver on the other end who gains from it.
You speak with certainty that is not possible. Those were all tiny hobby projects in comparison. You don't have to overhaul all of modern civilization to save whales or the ozone layer.

And... will act? The time to act already has come and passed, probably during the Bush years. We did not act. This is no longer about making it to the runway, this is about deciding which patch of rocks will kill the fewest passengers.

To me what is saddening is that those were your childhood tastes. That stuff should never have been allowed to be sold to kids. Coloured sugar water should not be what someone remembers as a childhood treat.

Then again, I understand. I'm a long-term exile to the UK from a Mediterranean country. Fruit and veg in the UK are absolutely tasteless and therefore pointless as anything but a sort of medicine. You guys are really unlucky.

I love Nostro for how simple it is & how expansive their Nostro Improvement Potential (NIPs) world is. Few other protocols show the willingness to start simple & grow quick.

You have super narrow winning ideas. It's not clear what your qualm is with bittorrent at all. I guess you have almost no idea how flexible or potentiating it is. Go look at Tribbler & all the crazy extensions they're pioneered. I don't understand your super narrow specific use cases in general, what you see as the problems, and think you need to actually build a a real case for what you want, which is absent entirely here.
And the owners of that accounting software can make the case that they should be allowed to be used in the country. Lots of companies do that, and some are even successful!

So you have to ask yourself... why isn't Coinbase making that argument?

I think local effects are still at play. I know many rural places that are still shrinking, but my town has nearly doubled in size and shows no signs of slowing.

We’re over 2 hours from the nearest airport (on a highway), so pretty “out there.”
Using a very small window of 3 years in a society built around the automobile as anecdotal evidence isn't as concrete evidence as you might believe.

Macro-trends always contain variance which can infer an opposite micro-trend.

The housing supply is infamously constrained right now. Many counties have a cap on density which simply don't allow people to pick up and move on a whim to rural areas.

Big migrations take a long time.
Keep interviewing while building, you'll need to be making revenue to sell at a multiplier. So I'd think about building something you would enjoy running. Google and read about the slow SaaS ramp of death. It's probably not an immediate solution to not being able to find a job.

Check out Rob Walling and StartUpsForTheRestOfUs, great podcast and lots of great advice.

Check out his stair step approach. Basically start out with a simple product. An info product, plugin or package and then keep leveling up to get to a SaaS.

Good luck, keep those resumes going out.

To add to your comment - no man is an island and we live in a world of scarcity.

Living on twenty acres sounds great until you realize you'd like TVs, internet, toilet paper, a car, and education for your kids. Turns out those things cost money because there's only so much of them - how are you gonna make an income living in the middle of nowhere to pay people to send it all your way?

What can you do for them? Who do you know?

If you're lucky you can provide agricultural products, but likely not at a competitive scale - so you'll hemorrhage money season after season. All of those people you see on instagram selling cabbages? They're not selling the cabbages, they're selling the instagram. Your network will be reduced to a bunch of other people in the same boat. Your life will likely enter a downward spiral into irrelevance.

You either bring all of the money you'll ever need, or find a way to decouple from society as much as possible because you'll likely have little to offer it. Remote work affects all of this but even then it's a dangerous proposition - if the winds change you're done for, and your network is still going to be shot.

Piling into cities (and suburbs) is just common sense. It's where the jobs are.

EDIT: some wording, two -> twenty (oops lol)

I personally don't think that Swan and Krzanich did incredibly stupid things; I think it's just very hard to run a billion dollar corporation. A few mistakes, a few unlucky breaks, and a few bad decisions - yes, they made some - can really turn your fortunes bad fast. Having run a small business myself (two, actually), you realize how much a role luck, fortune, and randomness plays in your success and failure.

That said, if there's a person built for this job, Gelsinger is him. Life's better when this industry has competition.
There are a number of amazing channels on youtube who have been documenting the rising “Dead/Dying Mall” trend over the past couple of decades…

- Dan Bell

- Sal

- Ace’s Adventures

- Retail Archeology

- Bright Sun Films

… are just a few of them. Dying malls has obviously been a trend across the country, but I’m cautiously predicting that this will change as more people crave interaction with actual humans and as more people get tired of being misled about the products they’re purchasing online.

Anecdotal, but it seems like most people whom Ive happened into the subject with have had worse and worse experiences purchasing online over the past couple years—everything from colors not matching the photos, to fitting wrong, to cheap construction, to not living up to what they expected, and on and on and on.

I’ve also noticed more people saying they wish they could just have the item in their hand immediately to get that immediate satisfaction/closure.

All anecdotal of course, but it feels like we may move back in that direction, at least a little.

Until then, there is definitely no shortage of content for the dozens of “dead mall” channels.

Typically you'll need revenue and can sell at a multiplier. Just building a ready made product with no revenue isn't going to pay for the time you spent coding it. An info product might be a better first step to making income in the near term.

Sierra Nevada here on the east coast is brewed in Mills River, NC, just outside Asheville. I guess there must be some economic reason (abundant skilled brewer labor force?) for locating their east coast operations in a place that was already one of the most thriving local brewing scenes on this side of the country, but it just felt redundant to me.

I'm sorry but how this second answer relates to my question ?

You said that selling a lot of cars is good since they gain experience in making cost-effective batteries, and hence can sell other profitable things - not only cars.

I just pointed to you that it's not Tesla which is doing it - it's other companies ! Yet, somehow, you seem to ignore that little detail :)
