There's also the fact that for a lot of people, COVID isolation meant a precipitous decline in physical and social activity that lasted for years.

We know this stuff can fuck you up pretty bad both mentally and physically. Depressive symptoms and a steep decline in physical fitness is very much the expected outcome from that.
Yep, bang on. As for the PE being the “solution” it is incredibly important and sorely needed but it won’t solve your enterprise culture.
What if you want to practice drums on the music?
Well, for audio bugs that actually matter, you can just listen to it, or if you want to get all sciencey, throw the output and input onto a scope and compare them, or send the input and output sample values into the analysis software of your choice.

Code isn't necessary to judge the quality of an audio system. You can pretty much treat it as a black box if you want.

The fact that no one has apparently even noticed this bug before says a lot.
> Behind each misuse is a person or a group that commissioned said tech

How many cases of misuse implicates a structural flaw in a larger system? It's absurd to point the finger, over and over, at this or that "malicious" person. It's exhausting! They somehow keep getting incentivized to appear.
Who's going to hire a carpenter who picked up a hammer yesterday? You can't just hammer away in your yard and expect income.

It's not a trivial bar to clear, if you want to own the means of production that happens to be a viable livelihood.

That’s fair, the reference definitely whooshed over my head entirely.

To those downvoting my previous comment: no, I am not a climate change denialist, and my comment wasn’t meant to argue against climate change by pointing out that today in Seattle is colder than it typically is on Oct 1st. I am well aware that it would be a really silly argument to make.
When you say that, you are saying that the policy was put in place in bad faith in order to inconvenience the people that didn't like it. The argument is more ridiculous than the policy.

Here there was never an outdoor mask policy, so I didn't ever have a chance to evaluate my reaction to such a thing. There was apparently a policy banning stores like Walmart from selling seeds (which I interpreted as bureaucratic friction rather than intention, something that was born out relatively quickly in practice, and never in the minds of the reactionaries).
It's not ironic - governments are the main source of power behind protectionism in all its forms. More regulations are good for incumbents.
The flying or the tracking?
I think there's a hard public interest in tracking flights. They're so safe these days that we can kind of forget that we're talking about moving multi-ton vehicles over people's homes, churches, and schools, where anything going wrong can result in significant loss of life and property damage... At the very least, I want to know who and when as a societal tradeoff for the privilege of using the air over our heads freely.

(Also, that vested interest has been demonstrated in recent history. Keep in mind that it was ultimately plane-spotters who originally busted the extraordinary rendition policy of the US government open... They noticed planes had changed their regular flight patterns significantly).
This seems about the most ridiculous way possible for a homeless person to charge a phone.

If phone charging is really something that's been overlooked by the many organisations trying to help the homeless already, it's just a matter of providing a space with mains power and a few chargers - maybe homeless shelters, churches, or community centres, and letting people know where+when this is available.

But I'd imagine that this is already a thing, and there's not really a need for silly contraptions?

(Then try to draw attention to the problem of phones with non-user-replaceable batteries, as the world has a vast supply of inexpensive older phones, but they're no use to anybody if the battery doesn't hold a charge...)
You can seamlessly share standard Bluetooth devices between 5 devices just by pairing it to one like I do with my iPhone, iPad, Watch, MacBook and AppleTV and it automatically switches?
One thing is sure that since Hayek's time, the market has become more efficient at creating and fulfilling the desires of consumers. The obligatory recommendation to see the Century of the Self by Adam Curtis for a historical perspective on consumerism.

However, Varoufakis has a point that a monopolist capitalism, enabled by technology, is not an attractive system.
This is basically their version of commuting.
Most of the companies in the corporate world have more than a monitoring system, at least 3 in my experience: sysadmins have at least one, network guys another one and one for legacy platforms (mainframes, as400 and so on).

Plus, in the last years with the rise of Kubernetes, most corporates have at least one cluster with Prometheus monitoring it.

Always, base on my experience, Prometheus is very popular, but the adoption is not so wide due to its `oss nature`: CTOs want someone to blame when things go wrong.
In your example the means of production is an advertisement? How would the worker own the means of production? Hammer and newspaper? Or hammer and all the newspapers?
What are you migrating to?
Sure, no problem. There's then also no argument against the price of renewables or storage going down by a factor of a quadrillion. It seems to me the question for some is less "how do we get some progress" and more "how do we get some progress using my favorite technology".

The question was also "is there really anything happening in nuclear?" The answer is no. SMRs are not a new thing, and the idea was given up on already [1]. That industry is simply running in circles waiting for people to collectively forget its past failures so it can try the same failed ideas all over again.

Offsetting your damage doesn't change the fact that you are causing damage. What would be good is if these people stopped flying around the billionaire circuit on private jets _and_ paid their fair share of taxes but that's too much to ask these days.

I do agree having a separate list of who pays the most in taxes relative to wealth/income would be interesting but also obviously less accurat.
The linked channel proves how broken YouTube is: the guy shows just a map during the entire video and yet it has been hit and demonetized. The purpose clearly seems to silence the channel rather than asking for ransom, so I would assume there are Russian actors behind. Let's see how much time will take Google to address this flaw properly, assuming they will.
That's one useful metric, but it's also limited - you're still gambling on an estimated number of uses, which can often vary wildly and in ways you can't predict. This is further complicated by variables such as companies taking advantage of your assumptions about quality and lifespan of a product by selling out a product line to another company who will produce it at a lower standard for less for the same retail price and hope you won't know or notice. I once bought socks assuming they'd last a long time but the company silently cheapened out on producing them at some point and they were falling apart after just a couple dozen uses. And they were expensive! There's no guarantee that Darn Tough won't do the same, or that you'll spill sauce with turmeric on them and ruin them the first day you get them, or etc etc.

At some point trying to explicitly micro-optimize all your purchases down to the socks you wear starts to get lost in the noise and you expend a lot of mental effort on things of minimal benefit, but this is a good thing to vaguely keep in the back of your mind for expensive and/or very frequent expenses that you know you'll always be using.

I don't know where you live but everything is too far apart in American suburbs. How you would fix that without tearing it all down? And it's totally impractical for transporting a family around.

Road tripping. Visiting far away family. Day at the lake or beach. Going camping. How do you convince people to give all of that up and just be content with whatever is 15min away.
Can you expand on what you mean by this? Specifically: "you can't move the responsibility of operations away from the application teams without seriously compromising incentives that effect quality, throughput and reliability"
he never claimed it _in the first place_, its strange that you're misunderstanding this
The weird thing is in Melbourne, you can get top quality food for less or around equal to buying groceries. It's an actual "economy of scale", same with Tokyo. It's hard to comprehend for folks in places like the USA, where it's definitely way more expensive to eat out (and typically worse for you).
I’m a microbiologist and here’s what (and where) I never eat
"Interestingly, there’s also a considerable body of research about how different American and Chinese/Japanese perceive information."

There's an interesting point here. Stephen Toulmin once mentioned (unfortunately without giving a reference I know of) a difference in visual perception between Anglophones and those who live in huts. (I unfortunately can't remember the exact difference he pointed out, but I think it had something to do with how Anglophones live around rectangular buildings and identify something rectangular as a disinct group of information?)

There was also a recent study indicating that people who grew up with different languages hear music and melodies differently too. https://twitter.com/courtneybhilton/status/16513251906962104...
Whats your SRE / DevOps ratio? In my experience, in the 10 teams I had or oversaw, I had about 1 FTE in DevOps for 15 SRE. Of course it depends, but what’s your personal experience?
Everyone complaining with "but stairstepping" fails to recognize that the final stage of a DAC is a reconstruction filter. The steps are gone after that filter is applied. You aren't analyzing the full DAC performance if you look in front of the filter. This is most dramatic in class-D amplifiers where the raw waveform feeding into the speakers is square wave hash that gets filtered out by the speakers themselves.
Not an answer to your question, but here’s a talk by prof. Sussman (of SICP fame, among other things) outlining a vision for such a software system: https://youtu.be/EbzQg7R2pYU?si=OEqDCe3_i7KLnaq9
I've always been skeptical of dermatologist insistence that sun exposure is unequivocally bad. It never made sense. If human health and lifespan were so negatively affected by sunlight, we would all be covered in fur, or everyone would be as dark skinned as populations living near the equator.

Like everything else in life, "moderation in all things" is the best rule to follow. If you spend your life getting deep dark tans or don't take sensible precautions against sunburns, expect melanoma. If you avoid sunlight like a cave dweller, expect deficiencies in everything from vitamins to mental health.
Eliminating Covid stopped being an option roughly around January 2020. The partial elimination you seem to be implying with "as much as possible" was never an option. It was always all or nothing.
"While privatisation and private equity asset-strip all the material wealth around us, cloud capital goes about the business of asset-stripping our brains. If each of us is to reclaim ownership of our individual minds, we need to collectively take ownership of cloud capital, instead of submitting to a few feudal overlords. It will be damn hard. But it’s the only way we can turn our cloud-based artefacts from a means of behaviour modification to a means of emancipation."

I wish Varoufakis expanded on this more. Does he mean choosing alternatives like Mastodon over X FKA Twitter, or does he actually intend to say we need to collectively take ownership of giants like Amazon? I can't say I see the possibility of the latter.

If I'm reading this [0] right, there will be no a standalone OS influxdb 3.0 version. So there's no point in comparing. I also wonder if it would be allowed to publish benchmarks of ENT version by 3rd-parties.

Uber and Lyft do this too. They’re taking a page from the LinkedIn playbook and creating new categories of notifications, which you then have to hunt down and disable. There isn’t one unified settings area for all notifications, which makes this extra tricky.
We're talking past each other. I'm sure I can't argue about the average french person and the average american person and I'm sure I don't want to. I was responding to "how can you make salmon better with french ingredients".
> I don't yet see how that is different from just... a sequence of commits

The difference is a sequence of commits that implement a feature where each commit basically is a logical change that does a single thing (e.g., add a function and associated test, add calls to a new function, etc) versus a sequence of commits with additional commits that fix issues brought up during review. Those additional commits really should be amended to the corresponding original commit rather than being a completely separate commit.

Another way to look at it is submitting an assignment where you have one page per problem solution as opposed to submitting that and then several more pages at the end containing fixes to those problem solutions rather than incorporating those fixes in the original set of pages.
And a healthy meal at that!
I'm technologically stuck in the era when everyone hated JavaScript. I provision instances with bash and services over REST APIs.
When you say intelligence a activity, do you mean activity from intelligence agencies like the CIA? Would be curious to hear more if so.
Adkins et al provide a bit more of a sober take in "The Asset Economy", describing a shift in the dynamics of capitalism from classes being polarized by the ownership and sale of commodities (most people's only commodity being labor-power) to that of assets (with many people owning real-estate and therefore having a stake in continued asset inflation).

Is this tracking a specific jet associated with a person, or the person?
> They should do their job.

They did their job. They delivered a sound system that has been called the best available in any laptop. Nobody, and I mean nobody, noticed this bug in the last three years.

Apple is doing just fine without your couch coaching about what they should have done. I might as well harass Apple for having 99% P3 color certification but not 100% accuracy certification.
Looking at her flight log, my guess is the jet she owns is run by a company that rents it out to other people.

If that’s not the case, I have no idea why anyone would fly from Atlanta to Savannah and then depart again 2 hours later. Must be rented out to others

Movement is simply matter going from point A to B. "Fast" or "slow" means, how far did our reference object (ex. Earth) move relative to the movement of another object.
Something with a low durometer that rides harsh. Ironically may be worse gas mileage than other tires.
Their homepage literally says it is a “Zero-config Business VPN”. Not “implied” — directly stated.

> That’s why I think it’s not a great press release.

Press release? This a blog. It should be self evident that this is for customers and other already interested parties.

When you visit friends and family, do you regularly reintroduce yourself? I’m going to guess you probably don’t. If someone did that, it would both be weird and wasteful of everyone’s time.

Blogs work similarly. The majority of traffic is expected to be people already following you, in which case reiterating who you are, what you do, etc, would all be a waste of everyone’s time — with the minor exception of the occasional person that stumbles upon your blog for the first time. Even then, such individuals usually end up on an unfamiliar blog because they are explicitly searching for something topically relevant, and thus are already familiar with what is being described.

It’s kind of bizarre, IMO, to arbitrarily follow links from a link aggregator (Hacker News, in this case), with no prior knowledge of the related topic, skim through a blog on said unfamiliar topic, and then complain that the author didn’t spell out what 99% of their readership already knows. Like… why? If you like exploring things you don’t know, why not check out their homepage? You already clicked one link without knowing what you were getting into, what’s one more click to go to the very page that describes what they do? Or if you don’t like discovering new things, what compelled you to click a link, when the link text was completely foreign to you?

Car maintenance books don’t describe the usefulness of cars.

Calculus books don’t assume you have zero familiarity with numbers and counting.

Recipe books don’t remind you that, as a human being, you need food to survive.

The Netflix tech blog doesn’t tell you what Netflix is, describe “streaming” in the abstract, nor explain what movies are and why people watch them.

How little familiarity would you recommend that Tailscale expect from the reader of their blogs? Should plumbers be able to understand what’s being talked about? If they should tell you that they are a VPN service, should they also describe what a computer network is, what you can do with a network, and why they’re useful? Do they need to describe what a computer is?

I just… I just don’t get it.
Because that is the software developer/systems engineer division that already existed 20 years ago.

The idea behind devops was to be a single team.

Never heard of Kylie Jenner, turns out she is an air pollutant.
Technology moves really fast and laws move really slow. Hence i would prefer if we had a solution that would not require this kind of legislative intervention. But as you say a lot of applications will not play nice. And neither google nor apple really has the incentive to fix it on their side. Only an outside force could force this but i do not see how you would legislate this in a future proof way. And it would probably need to become a legislation adopted by multiple big companies before they would roll it out to all countries.
Bing brought 12 billion in revenue in 2022. Just saying.
> I don't know why you're bringing ChatGPT to the table here

I think that is pretty self-explanatory. OpenAI makes both the "AI product on this page" that you were referring to, as well as ChatGPT. If your comment wants the readers to draw a connection between the quality of "AI products" that are involved on a particular webpage, it is reasonable to assume they would be made by the same company. Why would products made by different companies share the same lack of quality?

Regardless, you haven't supported your assertion, you've merely repeated it:

>> Given that is probably has been AI-translated

> as opposed to human internationalization, which would likely never give such a bad result in 2023 for a language as common as French

You haven't demonstrated any common ML translator doing such a poor job translating the specific phrase on the page, but it should be easy to do if it were the case. I don't understand the purpose of that reply you made? That reply didn't move the conversation forward. The mistranslation honestly feels like human error that didn't involve "AI". ML translation tools are than that these days. I've already demonstrated one.

The point is to ultimately take over the entire thing.

Find some existing pain point that people don't like about Firefox, fix it, make sure people know the better version is available. People switch to it, you get more search revenue and donations, you hire more developers. It's the same way Mozilla operates, but this time you hire competent management so your market share goes up instead of down.

⍴((U⍳U)=⍳⍴U)/U for counting the unique is wasteful too, as we only need the count, not the actual items, so +/(U⍳U)=⍳⍴U or (U⍳U)+.=⍳⍴U is enough.
Even 128kit from a modern encoder is harder to pick out than it was 25 years ago. Most of the self-appointed experts proclaiming how woefully inadequate MP3 is are basing their assessment on outdated experience from the distant past.

Both, two birds with one stone
When I was a younger cyclist, I felt this way about stop signs. The fine for ignoring one was fixed, rare, and occurred at random, so getting my marginal cost per run sign as close to zero as I could was the rational choice. Penalties that affect your license change those incentives, but arbitrary enforcement rewards noncompliance.
This seems like the same thing as with “Agile”.

The name is used and contorted into some bastardized form so now we just throw the whole thing out.
I spent $5000 on the fastest consumer computer available in 2011. It had a 6-core CPU which was pretty amazing at the time. I still use that same computer today as my main workstation. I've put a little bit of money into it over the years, expanding it. Most recently I bought the fastest CPU that would work in that motherboard, a 12-core/24-thread Xeon for $30 on ebay. So even with adding RAM, Hard drives, new video cards, and a new CPU, it's still under about $2 per day, which has been absolutely worth it considering I've made 250x that per day when I use it for work.

I'm due for an upgrade soon, but I don't have too much reason yet to do it. But when I do, I'll spend another $5k to get a monster machine and it will last me probably until I expire.

While I'm a big fan of Mr. Varufakis' thinking, I believe in this case he is a little bit too enamoured of the elegant redefinition he's come up with.
Some figures are also sketchy, like the "40%" in fees assigned to Amazon Marketplace (it's much less, between 8 and 15% based on category).
Also, in feudalism the owners of the land would not provide services as these platforms do, they would only exert the power of ownership.
The relationship here is more complex, as the cloud-serfs are also a source of capital as they buy the items sold by the platforms.
That is certainly not a relationship that reminds of feudalism.
