It really doesn't feel that hard to write legislation that exempts uses that are definitionally network tied. But, to continue the phone analogy, if it somehow loses network access, I expet to be able to turn it on, take photos, run local software (that isn't network dependent), etc. Losing network access should not turn the device into a brick including non-network related functions.
Disclaimer: I run a small European marketing agency (though our minimum monthly budget for clients is a few times bigger than discussed & recommended in the article).

I think this is a really good article, and I definitely agree both with the suggestion to use an agency (though I suppose I could be biased here!) - there's a lot of low-hanging fruit and it's definitely possible to do plenty yourself, but unless you really can't afford an agency there's surely more important things to work on yourselves. While hiring dedicated marketing people makes sense when you're a certain size or bigger I've still seen the best arrangement to be as few people internally as possible and being people who are not only good at marketing but more importantly good at managing, and have the bulk of the work handled by an agency. Rather than having to deal in giving whole people specific jobs, an agency can provide small amounts of time as needed from a wide range of experts on different aspects.

I also agree that it's a good idea to be familiar with with it all too, though, because that way you can actually judge which agencies are worth working with and you can actually work with them, rather than leave them alone and hope they're going to do a good job.

This article itself is a really great example of what they explained at the beginning - about writing. It's not a paid ad, but it got me interested in potentially using their analytics product from having previously not heard of them.
My pi 4 runs a wide variety of small services for me. Most important is my vaultwarden instance, which is securely accessible everywhere that I go via tailscale. The pi also runs HomeAssistant for my smart home stuff, pihole to block ads, and a resilio sync server. I’ve got a bunch of other small stuff as well that I rarely use. Like “your-spotify” which stores and tracks stats for my entire Spotify history.

I want to also possibly make it a media device? I have it physically located behind a tv, just because I already had Ethernet wired there, but it isn’t hooked up to the display yet, and I haven’t figured what to do with it if I did hook it up. Not sure if that would overstress the cpu. Can’t have my dns crashing if I’m watching a video.
Except it's so common it's literally a marketed service of PR firms. This isn't a conspiracy, it's something you can legally buy on the open market. Any company with more than a hundred people should be assumed to at least have conversations with an "image management" consultancy, and bigger/richer companies should be assumed to have an entire team either internally or contracted full time.
I mean, given that property as it exists in the modern world is a legal fiction allowing the few to extract from the many, do we not already live in a world of sinister authoritarians?

Except that the examples I gave fly directly in the face of the situation you're stating. Amazon replaced Walmart with exponentially less starting cash. Netflix did the same to the entire media industry.

Venture capital and business loans could easily fund the next big industry giant provided the barriers to entry aren't astronomical. But corporations are utilizing their lobbying powers to capture the relevant regulatory market in ways that protect their interests.

Your problem is with corporatism and cronyism, whether you realize it or not.

Maybe one of the reasons the pronunciation varies across time and regions is exactly because the pronunciation rules aren't really standardized, so people can get creative.

I wonder if the languages with strict pronunciation rules tend to change less. In my native language we tend to get new words of course, but if I read a text from 100 years ago I will be able to pronounce every word correctly, even if the word is now archaic and fallen out of use. I might get the accent wrong, and indeed accents do vary across regions, and sometimes even between neighboring towns.

Change is inevitable. Nothing lasts forever. Humans adapt. Climate change is not a crisis. It is a slow chronic condition, not acute. It may cost some money. It will be fixed or ameliorated mostly by technology. The sky is not falling.
It is also more discussed than TypeScript and maybe about as much as Go was at a similar age if not more, both of which have had a much more positive trajectory. My point is that HN hype is a really bad predictor of success or failure.
Nothing is wrong with DoH. When people complain about it, it's generally because they like being able to successfully perform the kind of attacks it's meant to prevent, e.g., censorship and surveillance of traffic between endpoints they own neither of, just because the traffic passes through their network.

A problem is that most such things (the rust thing, C++'s experimental/simd, Zig's SIMD types) have the vector size as a compile-time property, while ARM's SVE and RISC-V's RVV are designed such that it's possible to write portable code that can work for a range of implementation widths. Thus such a fixed-width SIMD library would be forced to target the minimum (128-bit) even if the hardware supports 256-bit, 512-bit, or more. (SVE supports up to 1024-bit, RVV - up to 65536-bit)

There is Highway (https://github.com/google/highway) however, that does support dynamically-sized SIMD.

> there's a trade-off between reinventing the wheel vs. being open to 0-days that take down a lot of projects at a time.

I have come to think about it more as comparative advantage of different programmers and their training / skill set. Not everyone has the skills to write a complex state machine for stream encoding (I haven’t read up on libvpx, so forgive me if I mischaracterized it). We shouldn’t expect a huge diversity of available libraries to do this task.

But we should have more tools to inform the consumer of libraries to see their risk from any individual library and there should be more transparency about alternatives/substitutes to make sure we don’t see a monoculture around an inferior library if a superior option exists.

We should expect specialists to write specialized code. But we should also have QA specialists (and hopefully lots of automation) review the code. And the more systems a library is installed on, the more verification/scrutiny should be put on that code. This is the strategy of Project Zero (Google’s 0day hunting project) and lots of other organizations should contribute similar efforts.
> So why not? Or get a cheaper lawyer yourself that's more fair to the other side.

Because that is money I could and should be able to use to defend myself. And should my defense be successful that's my retirement money and financial security. I don't care about fair for the government, they accused me of something I didn't do. There is a 0% chance that a states attorneys salary will get me a private attorney of the same caliber. That's just not how it works.

> There's a lot of rich people out there who get away with some really bad crimes just because they have really clever private attorneys.

So what? Why should my ability to defend myself be compromised because someone with more money could afford a better lawyer?

The presumption of innocence is one of the fundamental building blocks of our justice system. Prosecuting someone and making them fund their prosecution is a terrible idea, not a "rebel" one. The government already holds most of the cards here, this idea only cripples middle class and lower-end rich folks while not doing anything against the billionaires.

I still remember when that happened. I was really bummed because Riot is just such a fun name. Didn't help that that particular company was the reason.

I bet you were even more bummed though.

It's interesting seeing a myth build around your reasons for the name change already, with the blog post still up. Makes me wonder though how native speakers would have felt about the name after the protests.

I'm not a native speaker, so I don't feel the connotations of the name.
And who were the electorate? It went Silents, then Boomers, Xers, Millenials, Zoomers, and the next one A or Alpha might be starting (they don't have a slur yet). The pains of 2005-2012 and the decade of zero interest were brought about by the actions of Silents and Boomers and voted for by Silents, Boomers, and Xers in the years and decades preceeding.

Boomers are the obvious scapegoats. Who was the celebrity today I saw saying they wouldn't leave his children his $500M fortune? Mick Jagger I think. But rest of them are similar. "I won't leave my kids the house." "I'll spend everything I saved." "I got my first job walking in off the street making shoes so why don't you?" Now the government would steal large parts of these as though they didn't get a share when it was saved and the manufacturing has all been outsourced. But those things just happened. Nobody was behind them. Like a car runs into pedestrians with no driver at the wheel.

Having written all that I'm not sure whether you agree with my grandparent comment or not.
"Wealth is only produced when people work." does not imply every kind of work creates wealth at the same rate. I think the point was merely that creating money out of thin air without anything corresponding changing in the real world does not cause there to be more of what people actually want there to be more of.
> The WSJ wants to make it sound like a massive undertaking because they are pro-business and anti-worker.

I agree. It's just a shame that for the most part we're still using a lens that's so binary. I understand why say Fortune 500 companies are so slow to change. But why are the rest? If you're competing for talent - and nearly all companies are - and "we're on a 4-day workweek" would be appealing, why not do it?

On my last contract I worked 4 days x ~8.5 hrs with Fridays off. LOVED IT. I was more productive and never had to face "This client / project annoys the shit out of me...And even nore so on a Friday." There's nothing to be said for that ;)

Sure, some roles require that, but most definitely not the majority.

In development at least, most of the times I hear this, the "availability" is only needed for random unplanned meetings from useless managers that can't actually plan or work asynchronously.

The organization as a whole or individual managers can't do their jobs well and they make the people that actually get shit done pay for it by "standing by" for no good reason.

Ironically, they also completely ruin productivity with these interruptions.

I think an underexplored reason for high CEO pay is outright corruption.

We don't really question why a Russian oligarch is a billionaire. It's not business skill, it's using their authority to enrich themselves directly: corruption.

In the USA we don't think of ourselves as having such brazenly corrupt oligarchs, and yet the people in analogous positions are making similar outrageous amounts of money. Some of them have been caught in outright fraud and corruption, e.g. Trump. More of them are probably outright corrupt, and have not been caught yet. But also, even the ones who are not corrupt - their positions give them the ability to earn money by corruption, so perhaps the wage has to be competitive so that they won't be tempted.

If I'm directly controlling $1 billion of purchase orders, and making a salary of $500,000 a year, I'm going to have a pretty strong incentive to send $100 million of that to a buddy for a 5% kickback. If I'm making $40 million a year, eh why risk it.
A lot of government offices (and therefore their contractors) work '9 nines' to get every other Friday off, though in practice it really becomes '9 eights'.
Thx; hilariously, I own both the Honda Odyssey and the Subaru WRX example cars from the article :)

>>"It’s that 5-to-60—the first number you should look at, and when the light turns green, the only one that matters. "

I think 0-60 from stop, 0-60 with foot rollout, and rolling start 5-60 are all valid and useful metrics, when explicitly indicated as such. While I've never participated in a public-street red-light drag race, I don't think 5-60 is a valid metric for it, precisely for the reasons it mentions - the 5-60 eliminates a lot of drivetrain and surface components which would impact the launch; and more directly compares just the pure power. My Subaru WRX has less power, but has AWD and grippy tires, will leave my 1-wheel-drive heavily-traction-controlled, all-season tires Minivan in the dust at launch (but things may become more equal from the rolling start or even on highway overtakes).

The original Woodford & Nakamura TOR has a really cool hand drawn table showing all of the alternatives and their pros/cons. It was definitely for the best that they went with the most technically challenging option (inventing atomic clocks that are small enough to go to space) since that choice is responsible for a lot of the neat aspects of GPS (users don't need to be near ground stations, they don't need their own synchronized clocks, and GPS receivers really are receive-only)

> The business was shrinking and shrinking

Was that the problem, though, or was it just that it wasn't as profitable as the streaming business? The last most of us knew, the DVD business was still profitable.

> If someone believes there is still value in it, they can try filling it

Hard to build up all of the catalog, infra, etc. that DVD.com had. And even though there were buyers, Netflix would not sell.

https://www.cinemablend.com/streaming-news/netflix-turned-do...

The real story is probably about big corporate agendas being set by the market, which demanded higher profits on everything of a hulking company than a tiny niche business could produce. That combined with a desire to not bleed IP by spinning the DVD business off to be its own success.

Anti-trust laws ought to keep these things from happening.
Yes, independent pharmacies exist. Most don't do this because it requires knowledge about running a business on top of being a pharmacist. It's the same reason most software developers don't run their own software company, or the same reason most foodservice workers don't run their own restaurant.
There are plenty of local pharmacies.

Wine is also a very old project but only somewhat recently has it become practical and started being taken seriously.

ReactOS is more complex than that, because they can't take any of the shortcuts Wine did, AND they have to implement a kernel that mimics the Windows NT kernel in enough detail so Windows drivers could run unmodified. But then they have the benefit that once there is enough compatibility, ReactOS will be able to run on a vast number of hardware configurations, taking full advantage of said hardware. Unlike Haiku — which still doesn't support any form of video acceleration for example.
Yes it is, it preloads the viewer with ideas the advertiser tells them, in an effort to get them to buy something.

That means they're trying to take resources from other people and profit. That's where the ethics fall to pieces.
To be far, the metric of a salary at 40 hours is not valid. The time to commute should be count against that 40 hours and yet we exclude it. You're driving to work means work is taking your time, they also know where you live and how long it takes so there should be no scruples there.

Current metric fuzzes reality and allows for persuasion against 35 work weeks because people think they are only working 40 hours a week.

To be far, I find 9:00-17:00 to be a destructive cookie-cut mentality too. Prefer having about 12 hours of continual time when implementing a new feature or working a new solution. This allows for laying out the solution and better refactoring to make it cleaner. 9:00 to 17:00 does not allow for this because continual thoughts have to be shelved for the next day which takes more energy and time to try and rev-up again to continue where one left off.

To be far, a CEO or President or Owner or Manager seeing you in the office is a social engineering hack. "They are there so they must be doing work, I'm getting what I payed for."
Hi, Craig.

In what ways are Apple and Google not transparent about their privacy practices ? I think both are quite clear and upfront about where the lines are, compared to pretty much everyone else.

Accountable is interesting - they are as accountable as any other company, and if anything, both are under much closer scrutiny than anyone else, and have bigger reputational risks than anyone else.
The Japanese. They're the first known group to explicitly represent Emoji, unlike the older Latin derived systems which could only represent emotion through character combinations and thus were lame rather than complete.
Old fart comments here:

56K really was the maximum for telephone modems. This is because the telephone network, internally, transmitted 8 bit samples at 8K samples/sec - 64Kbps - except the occasional low bit got stolen for other signaling, so the net data rate was a bit less (and the result was inaudible to a telephone customer). Instead of trying to synchronize the modem to the stolen bits, it was simpler to just use the 7 that were reliable - thus 56Kbps. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbed-bit_signaling

9600bps as the defacto terminal speed was older than 9600bps modems (those were the cat's pajamas in the mid-late 80s or so). It was simply "fast enough" for a terminal user and "slow enough" for the terminals of the day. I had one (a Volker-Craig 4404 if I remember correctly) that could not keep up at 9600bps and had to be used at something less, maybe 4800bps.

The basic advice in the article is sound really, make writes to db very async and keep all your state in memory.

Also important for most online games: any core gameplay relevant actions need to be server authenticated - usually you do RPCs from client to server, resolve the result, then broadcast it to the relevant clients.
