If it's not a free market, because of restrictions/regulations on that market, then we should object to calling it a free market!

Look, I know it's a handy phrase that we've all grown accustomed to, but when it doesn't fit, we shouldn't try and force it to fit, just because it's comfortable.
Why would you tip and pay a delivery fee? You are enabling the corporation to underpay employees
> For example, nobody is going to go to McDonalds and pay $50 for a cheeseburger. They might pay half that much at a celebrity high-end restaurant, yet, at McDonalds, the limit is somewhere around $5, or 1/10.

FWIW, a Big Mac near me is now $7, add fries and a drink and it's $11.58. They've still got customers, although the lines seem shorter than they used to be. At least they haven't started asking for tips.

> TLS works the same way.

TLS does not use emphemeral keys, from a practical live connection perspective, because the root of trust is established via chaining up to a trusted root key.

Ergo, there are a set of root keys that, if compromised, topple the entire house of cards by enabling masquerading as the endpoint and proxying requests to it.

And that's exactly the problem you're gripping about with regards to a tap system. One key to rule them all.
They didn't have to work 120+ hours/week between them. Single-income households leave a lot more time for managing the family unit.
1. It doesn't matter what are the terms and conditions for this particular application, it's a topic that touches every delivery app and most give you the option to request delivery at your door and have drivers not respect it.

2. If they don't like the game they should stop playing it. If it's not worth it for them to do deliveries where they actually have to deliver, then they can look for a job that is more worth their time.

Escrow doesn't really work either. You have the original code, but do you have the signing key? Is it still the correct signing key, or has an update rotated it without putting the new one in escrow? Are there different versions of the hardware that need different firmware?

The only way to know that it works is to let people install custom firmware from day one, so they can discover if they can't and raise their objections before the company is defunct.
I had a guy literally laugh me off the call in my last search.

He kept pressing me for a salary number and I gave him one below market rate, well below what I ended up getting on another offer.

To top it off, he went on some dumbass rant about government handouts, "no one wants to work anymore", etc. Dodged a bullet there I guess!
Efficient is the wrong word here, because the amount of computing work they can do for a given amount of electrical energy is pretty tiny compared with anything modern. They're pretty light in terms of energy usage though, and because of the elegant simplicity of the system you don't notice how underpowered they are until you ask them to do something CPU intensive. (Think several minutes to draw fractals that even 20-year-old PCs can draw in realtime.)
Way back it was not so uncommon that companies buying software had access to the sources. When they did not have access to the sources and the machine code was supplied by a small vendor there were escrow agreements for the source just in case the vendor went out of business or died. No matter what rules are put in place companies will find a way around them or will not be able to follow them at all.

Abandoned IoT devices if there are few of them are an issue for the consumer and they should be enabled to at least help themselves or hire help.

Abandoned IoT devices if they are in larger numbers can pose a threat to the network and one may consider what could be done about those.

Abandoned IoT devices also are an economic burden as they cause a premature loss of value of investments of consumers and investors. Worse are way too many horror stories out there of critical infrastructure running on outdated platforms. These devices were bought at a time where computers were rare. If we extrapolate 15 years from now based on the experience we have today - we will not see accumulated economic loss but disasters too.
Medium to long-term follow on effects get lost in these discussions. For example:

Guess which expenses impacts most prices, the most? Did you guess trucking? If so, you're correct. To everyone advocating for higher wages, you're actually advocating for higher prices for many of the things you purchase. Same with taxes. Same with company sponsored healthcare.

Those greedy shareholders and business owners are feverishly working to control labor costs through continued automation, continued OCONUS production, and continued passing along of costs to customers.

I understand this reply will be downvoted into oblivion, but I wrestle with these issues in business every day and feel obligated to point out the unpleasant reality of a globalized supply chain that pits US workers against those making far less outside the US. Its a slow read, this story, and one that is far from over. It doesn't end well for the United States unless public policy changes toward immigration and public aid competition to gainful employment.

I love my little Flipper Zero. Comes in handy for all kinds of things. Recently copied my hotel keycard with it just in case I lost it.
I think most successful business owners are above average intelligence, but they’re also frequently really blinkered - they know a lot about something but almost nothing about a lot of other stuff, if it hasn’t come up in their path. It’s such a noticeable lopsidedness that I almost wonder if it’s a kind of prerequisite for being so foolish as to start a business.
Storing secrets in the cloud has been a top concern for me, which is why we don't do it and one of the main reasons why the code is open sourced.

Currently secrets are just stored locally on desktop and web via IndexDB. I'd love to hear people's thoughts on this as well!

I’m not going to argue that GDP is a perfect metric, because it clearly is not. But I feel obliged to point out that 5/7 of the GDP created in your own scenario is a guy doing presumably valuable work, and 2/7 is the baby sitter doing previously unaccounted for work; which is also based on wages, perhaps more fit to their skills.

It would be great if we could measure work done without exchange of goods however that is generally not so large as to totally distort the general numbers. To no discredit of the work parents do.
Lots of books about horology... and a book about a free energy device?
I agree with the rest but...

> Diamonds are effectively worthless the moment they leave the store

That's not the case! You can have the stone removed from the ring and, in case you don't have the original certificate, sent to a certification authority (like GIA) to have it graded. I think it also, once graded, gets automatically laser-engraved (above a certain carat) but I'm not sure about that: maybe you need to pay for the laser engraving too. And it's then got a value on the market: there's a worldwide market (or several) and every single jeweler in the world can see which stones are available at which price depending on their specs and book any stone and have it shipped in a few clicks.

Source: I've got a good friend who's a jeweler and he showed that to me.

Now: fancy shops (with famous names) may make fun of people by selling them stones at 3x their values or more (I don't doubt that) but you can also go to an independent jeweler and have him model/build the ring (or he'll outsource the 3D modelling) then put the stone on it and you'll pay a price much closer to actual price of the stone (the jeweler doesn't really work harder for a 0.5 carat stone vs a 2 carat one, so the bigger the stone, the less is "wasted" on the ring).

Regarding the differing values: I think it's mandatory that every lab-grown diamond above a certain carat are laser-engraved so unless labs growing these diamonds are cheating, it's extremely hard to make a lab-grown one pass for a billion years old one.
He may have been standing, and his knees gave out. It's worth considering alternative interpretations.
No I haven't owned a car for years. But I think the demand will drop anyway.

Especially here in Europe we're not so invested in gas guzzlers (and cars in general really depending on the country). Cars tend to be very compact, so much that American movies often make fun of them.

Billing by the hour seems to focus your clients clearly in a way that being their salaried coworker just does not.
Yes. MRI machines need it, although I guess that kind of falls into the superconductor category. But I call that use case out because it's probably a good idea to have the government, or some trusted caretaker, look after at least two strategic stockpiles.
Well, I disagree that it's not bad faith.

If your problem with a project is that it advertised itself to its target audience prior to releasing a repository, then a good faith comment would say something like, "My problem with this project is that they have spent more time writing manifestos and blog posts and social media comments so far than they have spent developing strong processes and working on publishing a repository for the project".

But if that's your real problem with a project, then a bad faith comment might look like "This is a bad pull request, how could you let it get merged?". The reason that is in bad faith is that it says nothing about your actual problem with the project, it's just a totally random swipe that you don't even actually care about. If there turns out to be a good answer to the question, like "Oh you're right, we forgot to require squashing pull requests when merging, I've fixed it now!", then instead of recognizing that your complaint has been spoken to, you are likely to simply find further things to criticize, because the first thing wasn't actually your real criticism, it was just a smokescreen.

Now, if you are making this other, better, point that the OpenTF project should have more mature software development practices, at least equivalent to and ideally exceeding the better-known project they have forked from, then yep, I agree with that criticism and do not think it is necessarily being made in bad faith.

However, I would be significantly more sympathetic to that criticism if it were a comment on an article entitled "OpenTF project celebrates one full year since its conception" rather than one entitled "OpenTF repository is now public".

The project is brand new, and they clearly rushed to get out a public repository because of other haters who were giving them crap about taking too long to publish the repository, and their processes clearly haven't matured yet. (Or I dunno, maybe it was even many of the same haters, because again, this is the tendency with people who criticize in bad faith, to just move on to the next random criticism that they don't actually care about.)

So if we get to a year from now and their processes remain immature, then yep, I'm right there with you on your criticism. But I think it's crazy (and, sorry to keep repeating myself: likely in bad faith) to make this criticism of such a new project. There is absolutely no indication that the developers running the project are incapable of having mature processes for the project, from the tiny amount of data available from the tiny amount of time that has elapsed since they announced the project.
Maybe a specialist could tell a natural, formed over thousands of years, flaw from a lab-grown flaw, but really I think it's more like you can get a better grade from a lab (and especially with consistency, frequency, at a much lower price due to being rare to find naturally occurring). i.e. you can get flawed and coloured lab-grown diamonds too. (A mix of taking less care/time, older equipment, and binning the results like silicon wafers I assume.)
Few years back there were news about self driving trucks replacing, or as some like to say “freeing”, truck drivers. The news agencies and the corpos paying them assured us this would happen in two to three years. What happened?
> Right now United Auto Workers is asking for a 45% pay increase and working 32 hour weeks while getting paid for 40 hours (which is an additional 25% boost (they are certainly not going to produce 40 hours of work in 32 hours). And more.

> This represents a complete disconnect from reality. This kind of thing leads to outsourcing, automation and job loss. Entire industries have already been decimated by this kind of thing.

Do you know what the profit of Ford was for 2022? [1] 23 billion dollars. And how many people does Ford employ? [2] 173,000. That's $132,000 available for ford to pay each of their employees on top of salary they already paid.

Do you know how long it takes UAW's wage increase to take effect? [3] 4 years. (or roughly a 10% increase in pay each year).

Do you know what the ultimate max salary asked for is? [3] $47/hr or $75k/year

So you are saying a company that made enough profit (that is, revenue - expense, which includes employee wages) to give each of their employees a lump $132,000 bonus in 2022 couldn't afford 10% salary increases for the same employees over 4 years?

You should really sit down and do the math on this stuff. There's monied interest by car manufactures to paint this as uncharitably as possible. So of course you are going to see articles where these poor multi-billion dollar companies are just scraping by... with record profits.

> So what sex/gender are people born without reproductive organs?

Yes, biology is complicated, and a small fraction of a percent of humans are born with genitalia that are either absent/nearly absent or very close to midway between male and female. (Most people considered "intersex" are still pretty clearly male or female, and often genitalia that look ambiguous at birth will become less so as a person matures). In these rare cases, sex determination can be genuinely difficult/somewhat arbitrary (and I don't claim to be an expert).

However, even in the ambiguous cases there are often factors that can favor one or another determination. In humans, sex develops as a response to various hormones. Everyone has at least one X chromosome which on its own induces the production of hormones/signaling factors leading to the development of female sexual organs secondary sexual characteristics. In people with a Y chromosome in addition to the X, that behavior is overridden by genes on Y to instead produce male genitalia and secondary sexual characteristics. In some intersex people, the genitalia are ambiguous but the presence or absence of Y chromosome expression still e

affects secondary sexual characteristics to an extent that one sex assignation makes somewhat more sense than the other.

But in any case, the extremely rare exceptions don't invalidate the general rule of human sex.

As for gender, that's a purely grammatical concept. Nouns and pronouns can have gender, people don't. Or at least that was the original meaning of the word, before pedophile John Money appropriated it in the 1950s. A pre-50s Google Books search may surprise you: https://www.google.com/search?q=gender&sca_esv=562865996&tbs...

> Who or what is the designer?

The blind process of natural selection. Perhaps the word choice of "designed" wasn't the most correct, but it's shorter than "most similar to a structure that would allow it to do the thing."
Considering how many marriages end due to finances and how often couples fight over money, "wastes money" is probably one of the least desirable traits in a future spouse.

"Failure to see reason" is probably the next biggest red-flag/dealbreaker for me.
