It definitely seems to be more of an Anglosphere problem than elsewhere. I've been learning other languages with the long term view of permanently escaping the Anglosphere in the next 5 years, unless I finally manage to land a job that pays enough to allow me some stability.

What? How is that remotely OK?
Then when they jack up prices, it creates an incentive for new companies to enter that field and make the same item for less.

A better question might be: what hinders this process today? Capital disparity plays a role (a wealthy company can perhaps make a competitor a buyout offer they can't refuse, or temporarily lower prices to try to kill them), but another major cause is excess regulation and the weaponization of intellectual property.

Kevin Kelly has a great essay on this called 'thinkism' : https://kk.org/thetechnium/the-thinkism-fallacy/
Not that I know, but in my experience, the stress for me came from the increased level of expectations at faang vs non-faang. I recently moved to a faang-tier company and the most jarring thing to me was how much the expectations around the quality of what I produced grew. Not just in terms of code but like artifacts, documents, and discussions that needed to happen. Another aspect is how overwhelming a large organization can be for people. Going from a 10-50 person startup to an engineering org of 5k people is pretty different. The sheer scale can be stressful in and of itself as you try to figure out what's important to your section of the org.

Not saying non-faang can't have that stress, more just that sometimes the expectations are drastically different and that can feel like a sink or swim thing for people. I'd also say it depends on where you get placed in a faang company, some teams are more dynamic and free wheeling than others which I'm sure plays into it.

Here's an example. Appears to be inspecting a CFRP jet engine fan case, which are some of the thicker composite layups you see in aerospace. The way this method of inspection works, you also have to fabricate a part with known defects of various sizes (simulated with a little piece of Kapton tape in the layup) in order to determine the minimum size defect that the machine can detect for a given type of part.

You have to understand, the world is probabilistic and when working with people even more so. No one here is making an absolutely logical dichotomy which is ripe to be disproven by someone like Diogenes exclaiming "Behold! A man!" whilst holding up a featherless biped.
Bit off-topic I guess. Had to implement multiple logins with open Id connect of various huge car manufacturers (Korean, Italian, German) and huge oil companies.
Holy croissant is it annoying. Every customer claims to be compliant to the specs, but you end up arguing so much over it.

One of them doesn't tell you how long tokens are valid for, and they are blaming it on their IDP (Salesforce).

One of them just simply doesn't have the possibility for custom schemes (com.example.org://oauth-redirect) and blames their IDP (SAP Gigya).

One of them has their own IDP, even has a debug screen in the html site, never causes any issues. Still requires some locale modification because of Norway's language.

And then they configure it so that users are force-logged out after 1 or 7 days. When users expect to be kept logged in (just like at big apps like Google, Facebook, Instagram, etc). Agggh!

> Ultimately it is deeper than that. Laborers don't know how to exercise power and laborers don't know how to provide consequences when our aristocracy takes advantage of us.

It's deeper than that even still!

You've got half the labor pool fighting against the one thing that would give them power: Unions.

And they don't want consequences against the aristocracy because they have this delusional notion that one day they'll be a part of said aristocracy.
The unsatisfying answer is - that you have to figure out why it cuts you so deeply to begin with to really make sense and fix it. But I can provide some hopefully actionable things in the process:

- Recognize that interviews (and other things, like dating) is a high value endeavor but the failure raise of any given encounter is high. Go in wanting the job and doing your best, but recognize that the answer to any one of them is likely "no" for many reasons external to you as well as your actual match for the job. This is what they mean by "it's a numbers game."

- Especially if you already have a job and are just interviewing looking to grow, treat it like an experiment. "What can I learn by preparing for and doing the interview? How can I make it more enjoyable for myself? Is there a way to think of it as an interesting challenge/puzzle rather than adversarial?"

- Recognize that the feeling of failure is different than the reality of failure (eg: you are feeling like shit but in reality everything is fine, you're no worse off than if you hadn't tried, and in fact you're better off because you did try.) This is a thing in general - recognizing that our feelings are "louder" than reality allows us to tone down those feelings.

Does that help?
But who pays those? Only big companies have the will power and money to pay someone to only write standards.

> I suppose my rebut would claim that the diet of the average US adult today is worse than the average Paleolithic person

Worse in some aspects. But the leading cause of death in paleolithic times is thought to be diarrhea from foodborne illness causing dehydration and starvation, which is not such a killer today. Is that included in "diet"? (It would seem to be, because we're talking about effects on gut biome...)

This is definitely it. It's a question of demographics. The developed world used to be for young people because people there were mostly young. Now decisions are taken by and for old people, and those of us who aren't are afterthoughts.

A good example of this is the age at which our constitutions were drafted vs how old politicians are now. This is also the case in Norway but I think the US is a more relatable example on HN: Biden is twice the average age of the delegates in 1787.
>One weakness of that generation of Enigma was that it could not self-encode a letter. That is, A was never encrypted to A.

What excitement? You're joining to become one extra cog in a large machine that is past its prime.

You will have little agency and impact, and your only opportunity for a decent compensation will be based on internal politics rather than technical merit.

Agree w. most everything presented.

Me, I support one disabled family member near full-time, another one 4 days of the week, and another occasionally (neighbor, on-call).

I decided to give up alcohol a couple of years ago, got put into a weaning off of it over time (yeah, that rough). Every 18 months or so it flares back, now I am down to almost nothing (usually 2-4 shots every 12 hours, some days none(!)), and the past few months are very rough, worse than the past few years.

Full-bore burn-out every other day. Working on this, but considering going back to alcoholism.

Oh, that could change things.

Although I think it still depends on what Apple means by "associated at any point in time with receiving digital content or services". I think they may be intending to allow something like GoFundMe or Venmo, while disallowing something like Reddit gold where users give gifts based on the digital content created even though that content isn't gated by payment.

Perhaps the developer's use of Bitcoin complicates things as well. Does Apple consider that a "monetary gift" or "digital content" or both?
Hmmm, not sure about that.

The wording was along the lines of "There are security updates for package XYZ. If you join <something> (maybe its Ubuntu Pro like you mention?) you'd have access to them."

That's not really a message that should be showing up on a box running 20.04 LTS, which is years before its EOL date.
> If you’re running something in production you’re almost certainly making money off of it

That is an extremely incorrect premise. There are tons of things in production that people don't make money on. Tons of new products don't make money for many years. And even if it is profitable, profit margins are often thin and RHEL is not cheap.

I have about 10 services in public-facing production right now (on Alma), and only one is profitable, and that runs in a container anyway (the host is not RHEL, just my container). I also have about a dozen or so personal/private services that I use for myself and my family. Those don't make any money either, I spend about $80 per month to run them. If I had to pay for a RHEL license for each of those, I'd just have to shut them down.

Which seems more reasonable to you: move my life to a different base that does support my niche, or shut everything down?

> No, because the point is that you get to know who sold them the RAM chips that went into the device, because the RAM chip vendor digitally signed the sale of those chips to them, and their repair job "consumes" that item in their own digital inventory to convert one manifest (representing all the parts in a phone with bad RAM) into another manifest (representing all the parts in a phone with good RAM.) The provenance of the replaced RAM chips "travels within" the provenance of the repaired phone. It's a tree of component sourcing, not just a log of repairs.

Thank you and apologies for all the questions! I'm very fascinated by this but not sure where to start. Is this part of the chain-of-provenance you spoke about?

Also wondering if you have anything helpful to share to learn more. I'm really curious about how the "consume" part works in practice. I was trying to get at a situation where someone fixes the RAM but doesn't update the inventory? Or if you lost your phone, do you have to report it lost to invalidate the manifest? I'm also struggling to imagine what happens when the RAM goes bad? Does that phone with bad RAM get a new signature? How does the phone turn from a phone that works into a phone with bad RAM digitally?
There will come a moment in time when consumer wealth has been almost entirely absorbed, leaving businesses with no further profit to gain from traditional revenue streams. After years of relentless pursuit of profit, multinational corporations will have effectively captured a significant portion of the world's wealth, consolidating resources and power in the hands of a privileged few.

Will the tipping point where no more wealth can be attained become the catalyst for a long-overdue revolution, leading humanity on a path towards a more just and sustainable future, or will it mark the beginning of an irreversible descent into chaos and despair?

Yep, don't understand why the hate now and not back then when Redhat commercialised the hell out of everything. Even RH7 was bad trying to push their Satellite crap. However I note back then there was no Ubuntu and Debian was always lagging far far behind.
> But the team found that as they stretched the iron selenide, its electrons began to overwhelmingly prefer one orbital state over the other. This signaled a clear, coordinated shift, along with a new mechanism of nematicity, and superconductivity.

That's fascinating! Electron orbitals are determined by quantum mechanics, and I'm really curious about the quantum-mechanical mechanism at work here to cause large numbers of atoms to have electrons in the same orbital.
The real question is, if you are profiting from this system: How can you stop people from caring, or alternatively how can you make them vote against their interest?

This is ofc a rhetorical question as you can see the answers play out very clearly in nearly every conservative party in the world (and much more subtle and convoluted in the parties left of them).

It’s even worse because there’s an adult social care crisis, a pension crisis, and in some areas a rundown NHS and school system. So all the incentives are towards not just home ownership but also additional buy-to-let ownership so that those with the means can afford private health care, dentistry, school fees for their kids/grandkids, inheritance for the kids who are priced out of the market, and retirement.

It’s a gravity well of incentives towards absolute property gluttony and creating an overheated housing market and massive social inequality.

Yes, and this is why $20 BB from SVB investors, hit $0. The bank management and investors were did have to live up to that responsibility.

I own a carbon fiber design & manufacturing shop that does aerospace and undersea work. Watched the video by "Just Alex" and the section the bonding of the titanium end-caps and the cylinder absolutely gave me the creeps.

The video was absolutely right to mention lack of dust-free environment (vs open warehouse), lack of temperature control, and lack of degassing equipment. We also have no idea about the properties of the epoxy used to bond it, whether it has the suitable amount of compliance, properties under temperature change, etc.

Worse yet, I saw no precautions being taken to avoid entrapped air in the bond, in fact, it seemed quite likely, and the sections with entrapped bubbles would be NOT bonded. Same for any sections with entrapped dust, debris, or whatever else was floating around that warehouse. I would want to see, along with the all of the above steps, either or both applying very substantial pressure to the Ti/Carbon parts while curing to force out any air, and/or doing the whole process in a vaccum environment.

The out-of-date carbon fiber? Sure, it is fine, for some months, for noncritical applications. For critical applications? NO WAY. And the CEO's claim that aerospace needs to be more stringent than undersea 5000psi is just beyond stupid. You need absolutely the best bond between layers that you can get.

Also, the 480-odd layer layup and cure is hugely experimental by itself, and I've read elsewhere that the shop was given six weeks to design and fabricate the hull. Insane. I'd feel like six weeks to design and run a few initial proof-of-concept tests of a 5-inch thick layup would be too quick.

I could keep going for pages just on the carbon-fiber crimes I've read about.

My absolute disgust for the CEO grows every time I read more. He got what he deserved, but the passengers he suckered into taking the trip did not.
Surging aggregate demand is a cause of inflation. 'Greedflation' is only a cause in so much as governments' refusal to set price ceilings at any moment is a cause of inflation. Sure, we could instantly end inflation by making it illegal to charge prices higher than in 2020, but then we would just get shortages.
