Exactly. Pensions might have been practical back in the day when people worked for "the company" for their whole career. But when so many change jobs every 5 years or less, they make no sense.
Not quite. Nearly every service out there has computational control over the end client (whether a mobile app, browser JS etc.), but very few are focused on edge compute at that level.

It is more helpful to think of it in terms of a traditional client-server architecture, where you want to move the server as close to the client as possible. This covers 95% of what people mean when they say edge compute.
It's very difficult to implement radical change in an organization when unions prevent you from firing low performers w/o exorbitant costs.

You see this across the public sector where it's practically impossible to get fired unless you do something egregious.

Lots of union defenders here ignoring that unions make reform impossible.
And this is a perfect time to talk about worker owned corporations.

The employees should be able to buy the company. Not only that, but they should also be given first rights to do that. And if government was serious about keeping businesses in operation through bankruptices, they would also issue a loan to the employees to complete this.

That would keep the company running, under employee control, and save a whole pile of jobs.
I largely do agree with it, but agree that it's somewhat secondary to the specifics of the pice. In context of reading his stuff more generally, it makes sense: he's been writing extensively on that subject (including a self-published book on the subject) for many months, so if you are a regular reader, it fits. The challenge of writing for your existing audience vs. the inherent context collapse of an individual post online!

Where are you buying these fridges that fail every five years? Perhaps consider a different brand next time; that's not normal. Modern fridges probably will not last 50 years (or at least only a tiny fraction of them will) but you should be getting a lot more than 5.
I'm a math professor. I've written articles, books, lecture notes, exams, exercise sheets, presentations... with latex. Hell, even a custom class for a journal I participate in.

I hate this language with a passion. The design choices may have made sense in the 80s when 128 kB of RAM was considered high-end, "tooling" was an unknown term, and modern parser design an academic matter. If I have to read "Runaway argument" and sift through a hundred lines of log to find an error again I will have a stroke.

LaTeX3? I have great admiration for the work they've done. But they have made at least two mistakes.

1. The fundamental mistake of insisting on backwards compatibility. Latex is choke-full of historical cruft. How many times have I read things to the effect of:

"Oh, you want an inline list? And you're using the inline-list package?! You poor fool! You should be using inllst3 with the xtabl option. Holy shit, you're using hyperref too?? (Spoiler alert: everyone uses fucking hyperref.) You cretin. Well, you should load these three other packages in this specific order. Then paste these esoteric commands:

\makeatletter\def\tbl@lst#1{\hy@tbl\vphantom{#2}#1\strut\lbl@lst##&!@\makeatother

No, I'm not going to explain what the commands do. Figure it out. Documentation? In the texbook. It's not online, you expect Knuth to work for free? Go buy it on amazon, you freeloader."

Don't get me started on how to get arXiv to accept your biblatex files.

Throw all this into the trash and start anew. There's no other good way forward.

2. The superficial on creating a theoretically beautiful and consistent syntax that is designed for computers, not for humans.

Seriously, go to the authors' website, the "LaTeX3 examples" page https://www.alanshawn.com/tech/2020/05/25/latex-3.html#examp.... Here's how you multiply a length by a float and store it somewhere.

\cs_generate_variant:Nn \fp_set:Nn {Nx}
% #1: input name
% #2: output name
% #3: factor
\cs_set:Npn \__multiply_length:NNn #1#2#3 {
\fp_set:Nx \l_tmpa_fp {\dim_to_fp:n {#1}}
\fp_set:Nx \l_tmpb_fp {\l_tmpa_fp * #3}
\dim_set:Nx \l_tmpa_dim {\fp_to_dim:n {\l_tmpb_fp}}
\dim_set_eq:NN #2 \l_tmpa_dim
}

How anyone can look at this and think "that's the proper way of doing things" is beyond me.

I've started writing stuff with msword and I honestly like it better. Even UTN28 kind of makes sense. Yes, I'm expecting a fight after writing this.

#1 is a really interesting point. Traditionally startups have a velocity advantage over the big companies because they don't have all the red tape, but in AI the big companies seem to have the advantage. The amount of data you need for training and the compute resources required means that startups are stuck with APIs that someone else provides, but a giant company like Adobe can train their own very quickly just based on the research papers that are out there and their own data.
Guaranteed housing for all people?

EDIT: Just for context, relatively free-market oriented Singapore and Hong Kong both invested heavily in government funded housing to solve similar homelessness crises in the 20th Century. So much so that that overwhelming majority of people in Singapore live in housing developed by the government.

It’s also used as a very effective form of soft social control (get a better house if you do X thing we want), so it’s not unreasonable to assume that it would meaningfully reduce crime as well.

The average starting salary for a college graduate in the USA is less than that, and most graduates have non-negative other costs, so, no, your outlier description is not representative of what is doable generally in the USA.

Don't blame the consumer for this. It's just The Market For Lemons at work.

If you really need someone to blame, then blame the MBAs who buy up quality brands and then sell junk until the reputation is all ground up.
> I think you're suffering a bit from sunk cost fallacy and a little bit of "got mine"

No, the youth I typically advise are from the types of backgrounds that need every advantage to get the good jobs. They don't "pattern match" the other staff, so they have to compensate by looking better on paper. I have 100% seen people walk into jobs without any credentials; I have not seen anyone do it who doesn't look like management.

> if you have to pay $200k to get your foot in the door then the system is rigged in favour of the elite (again).

Should have added that this number is also an outlier. OP possibly works on a team with people who were all-in for $60k over 4 years (in-state tuition, living at home). The giant public university in my city has an average cost after aid of under $20k annually (including room & board). Living at home, a student could make a dent in that working at an amusement park over the summer.

Some people choose a luxury experience, which is fine. But most students don't go to those colleges.

But yes, college is too expensive. We should resume amply funding state universities.
To be fair the same thing happens in the regular world. e.g. look at a list of the richest people in the USA and see how they made their money.
> Watching youtube isn't a good use case for a color e-ink

You may have not thought that part of the idea is using displays for education (video is an important format for educational material nowadays) in times where Countries are noting epidemics of eye difficulties (e.g. myopia) among students.

This said, use of video (frequent refresh) on EPD is strongly inefficient - EPD is energy-optimal as bistable, and consumes a lot upon state updates. And, those EPD cells are not eternal, they have a lifespan of state switches.

I believe that I see you in the web-bugs issue, so to add more info, here is a safari screenshot with the crazy slow load time. I am getting 52Mbps from fast.com at the moment, rest of the web is snappy. In chrome it takes ~9.25s to finish rendering which is still slow compared to other sites imo.

> I think #2 is made worse because it tends to be young journalists writing those stories from places like Brooklyn after having graduated from a journalism masters program at NYU or Columbia. Yeah, they’re going to have lots of student debt, high living costs, and low-ish income, and their reporting is going to reflect that.

That's a very good point. Our perception is significantly influenced by the biases of the people whose jobs are to give us things to attend to. That can inflate the obsessions of those people way out of proportion to their objective size.

The ambiguity of just "auth" is useful when describing it at a higher level.

I can say "auth service" and it's well understood, even to the user, that service identifies them and determines their permissions.
I’m not making any statement on whether that CEO did a good job or not, but I’d like to point out that if you had a failing company, it might make a lot of sense to hire an expensive hotshot CEO to turn it around (and to get the best you would also offer benefits like golden parachutes). So it’s not necessarily a case of “the CEO is getting paid exorbitantly to do a bad job”.
> You are assuming that all the old people vote against the interests of the 20-25 years old people

Not at all - but we already accept that the fact there are so many more voters in concentrated in a few cities that a pure one-person-one-vote system would lead to virtually no representation of voters in sparsely populated areas. If the age pyramid were even more extreme (e.g. 5 or 6 times as many voters between 60 and 65 than there were between 20 and 25) I'd say we'd have little choice but to consider some sort of age-bracket based voting system.

As it happens apparently the historical trend of voters becoming significantly more conservative as they age seems like it might be breaking down anyway, and the concentration of voters in the "boomer" bracket is a somewhat temporary thing, so there's probably not enough justification for overhauling our electoral systems simply to counter the current demographic distribution, however I do think we're unnecessarily reluctant to at least seriously debate and ideally trial different electoral systems rather than assume what was put in place hundreds of years ago is still the best we can do in this day and age.
Thats a very interesting point. Maybe speaking my problems just "calmed" my anxiety temporarily and that why I thought I dont need therapy at the moment.

I'm pretty sure that the reason they stopped getting made was influx of dramatically cheaper toasters, at a time when the idea of paying top dollar for premium kitchen tools was not very common. I'm also pretty sure that fixing all of your issues would not be hard with a modern re-design. It would just result in a ~$100+ toaster. The crazy thing is is that _there are more expensive toasters than that_, that are basically identical to cheap toasters except they look better. I'd _gladly_ pay $100 for a new toaster that had the features of the Sunbeam and was well made enough to not have the finicky features bits you mention. And paying for premium kitchen tools is _common_ now, to the point where even people who don't really care about cooking will still have a KitchenAid Stand Mixer and a Vitamix Blender.

Fourth here, if you count dot com, early robotics cum self driving cars, and web 3. Each had their impact, winners and vast array of losers.
That's not what is happening here. It uses gravity to generate energy as the mass going downhill is significantly greater than the mass going back up. The mass of the load is used for "powering" the regenerative braking system (resistance is converted to electricity, stored in the batteries) when going downhill. The batteries are now charged when at the bottom. The heavy load is removed from the train. The generated power is used to take the train with significantly less mass back up to be refilled. There is no "perpetual" energy here. Basically the fuel is the load. It still takes energy to load and unload the payload. No magic here. It's just a function of how much mass can the train take downhill, how much regeneration occurs during that operation, and how much energy it takes to take the empty train back up to the top.

Just as you can take a tiny regenerative toy car, give it a few little revving pushes on the floor (let's say 4 feet of regeneration), you can let it go and have it go 100 feet, as all that mass you used from your arm to charge the battery was transferred (obviously not 100%) to the battery. It's not perpetual motion. It's just converting mass into energy. Pure physics here.

This is the same concept when using water, rocks, sand etc. and gravity for batteries. It's just a simple transfer of potential energy.
They're notably distinct in that you can simply exit their system and choose not to participate. Calling them banks is apt, I suppose, but calling them central banks takes gravitas away from the most heinous, utterly unethical institutions that are the actual central banks.
I agree. The only difference I can see is that Bitcoin never had the crazy fund-raising schemes and marketing blitzes that a lot of alt coins had. Same with the original ETH.

It seems like false equivalence to state that Central Banks and airlines are the same because they both create an intangible asset.

Most nation's central banks bailed out airlines (if by proxy) just a few days after this was originally posted, which should be a fairly big indicator that airlines are far from akin to Central Banks.
> If it was only effective with intermittent use then we wouldn't insulate water heaters as they're 24/7.

Water heaters are not running 24/7.

The entire point of water heater insulation is that you run them to heat up the water in the tank, then the water sits there at temperature, and when needed it has a fast response time (and also actually provides hot water as the heating loops generally don't have the heating capacity to bring the water up from ambient or sometimes just above freezing to sanitary at the flow rates users ask for).
There is a clear distinction between edge and a region. That distinction is defined by the distance and by relation latency. Edge locations are not heavy regions or data centres, per my understanding and hence limited by compute/storage capability. They are also high in number. Cloudflare has 100 odd edge locations all around the world.

Cloudflare and Akamai both have the concept of edge workers - light weight application APIs that can serve modest capacity. Cloudflare also has a cache on the edge.

The entire business model of "resort fees" is to be able to advertise a low price on aggregation sites by hiding/obfuscating a significant portion of the total price. Of course it is deceptive and annoying, but companies have realized the additional revenue far outweighs the complaints and possible lost reservations.

It's a shitty situation that nobody likes, but honestly in 2023 if you are booking any type of reservation online -- including the hotel's own site -- you need to read some of the small print.

Complaining online on forums like this is meaningless. The only way to "fight back" is not to book, which may mean skipping the vacation, as much as that sucks. Hotels and travel sites have had record revenues and resort fees and have only increased and become more widespread in the past decade. The trend isn't going to reverse on its own while people continue to book at record rates.

I've seen a similar setup ~12 years ago: a very elastic setup on AWS following load changes.

At peak times, the clusters had substantially more than 1k API instances running together; none of the the API instances ever had a public address, and not for cost reasons.

Everything was on EC2, behind a bastion; you had to jump through two jump hosts to SSH to particular boxes (containers were not a thing yet). Everything ran on private networks. Everything was exposed through load balancers (HAProxy) via 2 or 3 public IPv4 addresses; I think one of them was only to interact with an off-AWS third-party service over the public internet.

Yes, it was a startup, just very technically-minded.
Interesting of course, but also a 6 month trial so whatever that means for commitment who knows.

Couple questions:

There's a .bbc TLD? Being used anywhere else? TIL

Who is hosting their instance - is it a third-party or did they spin up their own?
