It can be a mutually beneficial relationship: you want to live somewhere, but with the flexibility to be able to move on relatively short notice with minimal hassle, and without all the work, capital requirements and risk that comes with owning a house or condo. Somebody else owns an apartment building, and is already taking care of maintenance, paperwork etc. A perfect match.

The problem in the current market is that in many places there's far more demand than supply, so there's little pressure on the landlord to actually be a good landlord. If people could actually find other apartments at a similar price point in the area, people would just move out when the landlord doesn't uphold their part of the bargain, and competition would drive prices down to a point where the financial difference between buying and renting is a reasonable fee for the conveniences and flexibility of renting. But that's not the world most American cities live in. Instead tenants are stuck because there are no viable alternatives on the market, and some landlords shamelessly exploit that.

(1) doesn't seem like it should be too hard, relatively: there's likely a direction you're mostly staring at, or keep returning to (especially on audible cue), so you can 'just' adjust that one to be direct-at-camera, and add noise or show original otherwise.

(I can't do this, but I say relatively easy in the sense that you're already doing the CV and adjustment all the time, so it's just an adaptation to turning it off or doing it slightly differently sometimes based on aspects of the CV.)

Personally though I just plan to print a widget to fix my webcam to my microphone stand, so it's at a more eye-level height and moves in and out of the way with the mic.
Often people are fired because the higher-ups simply just don't want to deal with them anymore. Although the guy's claims could be credible, his firing could come down to other factors. Maybe he communicated his concerns the wrong way. Maybe he misread the politics of the situation.

In the end most people just want to get paid and go home to their family. If they think you're making work things harder for them, they will get rid of you if they can.
Notice that the Slack app has a similar layout on both mobile and desktop, with a list of teams on the left, followed by channels, followed by the channel content. There are no device UI framework specific elements anywhere, it doesn't use iOS or Android style buttons nor is it designed with Fluent Design on Windows or HIG on macOS.

I agree JS has a high number of quirks, but like 22 out of these 25 are "implicit type conversion is surprising".

It's surprising in almost every language that does it to any degree. JS's is only slightly stranger than, say, PHP. About the only exception is "empty values are falsy", and even that surprises people pretty frequently, and can be used to construct highly confusing snippets of behavior.
>biz debt? declare bankruptcy

That's totally an option for individuals too (modulo student debt for the most part).
the website is 90% problems of very stupid implicit type conversion, and 10% valid floating number behavior that exists in other languages too (0.1+0.2, NaN a number)

I agree using plain JS anywhere is not a good idea, but Typescript (or js with ts annotations) is often ignored when it does a very good job of catching most of these issues, while offering a very flexible type system in a more mainstream paradigm

> People sticking with REST+Json usually don't want to have
> a compilation step for the API exchanges layer.

Hmm. I'm not sure what you are saying.

The way people tend to try to consume REST APIs is by generating client (and/or server code) from a spec. For instance OpenAPI 2.0. At least on Go the tooling for that leaves something to be desired, and the generated code isn't exactly beautiful. So you either depend on a library that someone generates from the spec, and then shares, or you generate it yourself.

(We do this for a bunch of languages for our APIs, and the clients are ... not uniformly beautiful :-))

If we're talking about writing the REST client by hand...well...I'm not sure why one would want to do that. (Nor am I sure that's what you meant, so I'm not accusing you of that).

My current workflow (in Go) for consuming gRPC interfaces is to use the buf.build package proxy. Which means I just add an import, run go mod tidy, and I'm good. I don't even need the tooling installed. As I think it should be.

I suppose this could be done for OpenAPI 2.0 too. You stuff OpenAPI 2.0 specs in and you get code for a bunch of languages out. (Someone must surely have built this already?)
What does it even mean lol. I really like how you implied that it's a problem of WebAssembly.

How is checking a web page's network connection, WebAssembly or not, harder than reading ALL the source code (if you don't read them all you can't be sure!) of a non-trivial app?

Zero SR/F owner here. I was also put off by this before buying a Zero. They did back off of this a bit, but most of the stuff floating around online is from when they initially did it.

Now, if you purchase any premium Zero like the SRF and SRS, every software upgrade comes unlocked and is apart of your purchase as you’d expect.

If you purchase their cheaper tier models like the DS and SR, then the “upgrades” can be software unlocked. I’m not a fan, but it is a one time fee from what I understand. It’s not a subscription. (correct me if you have conflicting data)

That in mind, my SR/F came off the lot with everything already enabled. I checked the app and there are no “upgrades” that can be purchased.

Zero also had a reputation of being one of the less repairable bikes, but they’ve been slowly going in the other direction.

I walked into a dealer being dead set on buying an Energica bike and not buying a Zero. They had no problem selling it to me, but after updating me on where the current state of Zero was vs Energica, I decided to buy the Zero and didn’t regret it in the least.

Gravitational waves follow because space time and gravity are described by equations that admit waves as solutions. Thinking about what space time is "made of" is contrary to what mathematical physics is about. This was a realization with electromagnetism: early attempts tried to interpret the EM field as something mechanical, but it was eventually realized that math making predictions was what one should focus on, and not try to create some sort of more comfortable interpretation in terms of materials or gears or something.

> There is no way youtube can win this battle using "brute force". The only way they can win this is by offering a new better service, not deteriorating existing ones. What could that new service be? How about recommendations that don't suck?

It seems like you're saying that people are mainly using adblockers because the recommendations aren't good enough, and if the recommendations were improved they'd respond by turning off the adblock? That doesn't sound realistic. People use ad blockers because they don't like to watch ads, and since the adblockers let them avoid ads with no effort or cost. The site offering "better service" doesn't change that equation.

> Also, if youtube gets really aggressive people will go elsewhere.

Oh, no! The people who are not willing to pay for the service and who are blocking ads are going elsewhere! How can the platform and the creators possibly survive without that $0 in revenue?

This Is What Happens When People Start Reading Privacy Policies
Yeah, the only young people who I know want to go into the office are interns and fresh-grads. There is a lot of in person upskilling that happens in those years, but after that, learning is effectively self-guided.

There are 2 kinds of jobs in tech. Demanding jobs and chill jobs.

Demanding jobs involve effectively resigning your life to the company for 5 days of the week. The hours saved on commute and ability to actually get chores done between at-home downtime allows people to put a lot more hours from home than from an office.

Chill jobs on the other hand, lead to a terrible commute vs hours worked ratio. You're in the office for 40 hours of the week, but spend 5 hours commuting, 5 hours chilling during lunch break, and another 5 hours waiting in line to select one of 10 fancy coffees. That's effectively 30 hours of work, 10 hours of in-office loitering and 5 hours of out of office mind-numbing commute. Make those same people work 'real' 40 hours from home and you'd see a 30% productivity increase just from hours saved. Remote employees take meetings during lunch, coffee is instantaneous and there is no commute.

People complain about how much better in-person meetings are. But, have we even tried to make remote work palatable. Slack and Zoom are terrible tools for remote work. Give every employee a 2000$ digital whiteboard. Make them stand and give their presentations using better cameras. Use gather.town to make collisions feel more natural. Guess what? with remote work, all your meetings & interactions can be captured. You can send out meetings summaries & key screenshots for every interaction without ever lifting your finger. But nope, remote work is relegated to having the same in-person secondary tools (zoom, slack) without leveraging new primary tools that work well for remote work.
What is an acceptable rate of causing cancer and how do you determine what rate a new material will have?

I hope your answer to the first question is not zero because things like PFAS do have benefits that are directly translatable to health outcomes. For example, when used for water proofing clothing, they might prevent hypothermia and save lives in extreme conditions. Plastic water bottles enable the distribution of clean water in areas that don't have (can't afford) good infrastructure. Less glass and more plastic means less broken glass on city streets, which I appreciate as a dog owner who doesn't want his pooch to step on broken shards.

Still, that's two each of two different ~400 mm² dies instead of just one type of ~70 mm² CCD. AMD also has the IOD of course, which iirc is also around 400 mm². Everything about the Intel solution looks and feels more expensive to make either way.
I'm thinking a stipend eliminates the need for "commercial success".

If your band tours to public parks or empty bars, you still get a living wage. If you crank out six paintings a month but they just line the halls of public libraries because nobody really wants to buy them, you can still live on the stipend.

More importantly, it eliminates the need to create that ownership right, and impede any "descarcification" tactics. Yes, those tangible things might be somewhat scarce, but if someone starts making posters of your paintings, or a recording of your concert goes viral, you both have no reason and no legal method to stop that from happening.

A recorded lien that was issued in connection with a court process is certainly worth a lot more than a line in a csv about a debt that is easily challenged and hard to document when challenged.

Liens can be challenged too, but there's a presumption of validity that increases with age, and property sales are hard to do without clearing liens, and challenging a lien seems difficult and time consuming, so it is ignored until a sale is needed with some urgency, chances are the lien will be paid rather than challenged.

I don't have any specific thoughts about wage garnisment, but the % of people that don't get on-the-books wages in the general population may be significantly different from the % in the population that has become the target of debt collection.

Anyway, how many of the debts can be turned into a lien or a garnisment is a question too. You've got to turn the line in the csv into someone you can plausibly sue; and you've got to have upfront capital for the court costs (which probably you can add to the lien, but maybe not?).
They should be focusable by objects with mass, just as light is. A difference is that gravitational waves could be focused by the Sun's core, and so would come to a focus closer to the Sun than light would be, which would have to be focused by the entire Sun (as any light passing through the Sun itself is blocked.)
Well, claiming that is claiming that the entire idea of "private property" is bullshit, but it refutes the very foundation of our civilisation. Because stock market is a mechanism for facilitation "private property" in the purest sense - "ownership without physical control". Remove it, and you can only make money off what you can physically hold and defend, and that would be a scary world.

Capital always generates return. If it doesn't it just moves to the other place where it does. If there is no stock market, there is no way to freely move that money and it means that private property is no more, and owning capital is more of a job of "being able to milk something for profit", rather than a passive income source. That means we no longer have capitalism. Do you claim the world is really a place like that?

Or, do you claim that there are other mechanisms for that but the stock market. Which?

I don't think it's true that outside the SF bubble people don't believe in their jobs like that.

My father is an orthopaedic surgeon and he definitely thinks about his job as much as I think about mine. My cousin is a cardiovascular surgeon who also does. Another cousin is a lawyer and she does too. A friend I met through another friend is a school vice-principal and he does too.

All of these people have family and friends who love them and who have hobbies that they spend time on.

I think people like this would just prefer to work with others like this. And so they write these things advertising that this life exists.

The market for engineers is pretty hot right now. To any junior engineer who wants to love their job, I'd say go for it. You have at least 40 h a week dedicated to your vocation. That's enjoyable.

Many people don't treat this 40 h as an enjoyable time of their life. But the reward is you have 40 more hours of enjoyment per week. Just remember that hard work and outcome are correlated at less than 1.

Maybe you are just unfamiliar with Haskell, but the intro to the article mentions the "quantified superclass constraint" which is a relatively new feature.

The Haskell of today is not the Haskell of 1998. It evolves constantly. More than any other general purpose language dares to. Some people don't like that. Some do. It's fun to be on the bleeding edge, for me at least.

I simply wouldn't program if I couldn't use Haskell. I'd maybe clock in and roll my face on the keyboard enough to get paid, but I wouldn't allow my brain to be molded by other languages, lest I become dumb.

> Investors only want to make a return on their investment, and thus do not really care what the product is...

Here, in a nutshell, is the entire problem of misaligned incentives in modern business. The product becomes the the shares of stock. Larian's success with Baldur's Gate 3 is because they obsessed about the product and their customer. Apple's success is because Steve Jobs obsessed about the product and the customer (despite being publicly traded) and Apple continues to do so.

So many other companies are all about maximizing short-term extraction of shareholder value. They're not about the product or the customer anymore. This breaks the market mechanism, so few arguments of how the market will generate winners or fix the problem still make sense. The market is Wall Street, the stock market, not the market where customers buy goods.

How do we incentivize good product and customer service in a VC / activist investor / private equity world?
