The last two decades at least have moved towards a purpose built consumer device, with a general purpose server.

Gpus, CPUs, and Asics, are run by vendors rather than end customers. The end customer runs a full computer, but has no rights to it because it's called a smart phone rather than a computer
You bring up a good point. While the intentions are companies are hard to gauge, and likely diverse across the set of all for-profit corporations, it's important to remember that without them we'd conceivably be living in a much less developed society with a much lower standard of living.

Admittedly, our environment would be largely unspoiled if this were the case.

This raises an interesting point about what people really want. Given the choice, would most people opt to live in an economically backward but pristine wilderness, or not?

Such an environment might lack modern conveniences like electricity, sophisticated city services, piped water and sewerage, but may possess an abundance of natural riches, like fresh air, clean water, and a beautiful landscape that was unscarred and intact.

I think many people would choose that life. I know I would, at least for a while. But many are also probably unfamiliar with the hardships of doing so, which may prove a decisive challenge for people and lead to them returning to more 'advanced' way of life.

It could also be argued that the seeming dichotomy presented above represents an oversimplification of the reality, and that in general the choice would not be between such extremes.

An optimistic take might also consider that ideally we don't need to choose, we can bring sustainable technologies with us to the wilderness, or we can make our existence in advanced cities environmentally friendly.

It's important to remember that people often choose to migrate from less developed regions to more developed ones, primarily for the economic opportunities they believe are available to them and their loved ones there. It might be hard to argue that this is a bad thing, particularly as our concepts of ethics and morality are often based in notions of access to opportunity, sanitary conditions, and shelter.

The interaction between humanity and the environment comprises complex dynamics involving seemingly competing considerations. It's crucial to consider the ethical intersection of good of the environment, and the good of the people.

Economics and the environment interact in complex ways: we depend on the health of the environment for our economic growth, but often end up harming it in the process, endangering ecosystems and ourselves. Yet without that growth we would be without many things that people seem to prefer.

This is awesome!

I had a look at how to use this. The video I watched is a couple years old, but probably mostly relevant still. https://youtu.be/nORS7STbLyk

The thing that really resonates with me here is the way they use faceting to find bad data.

When I write pipelines on the command line, I sometimes find it necessary to filter and select data in various ways. Because of this I end up rerunning cli pipelines multiple times sometimes. If instead I dump it to csv I could see myself using OpenRefine with its faceting to pick out the relevant data for processing
That's funny I always thought that prejudice and discrimination was something someone could be regardless of who you are. That is interesting to learn that as long as you are part of certain groups it is impossible for one to be racist, sexist, or homophobic.

I love this morality, next thing you'll tell me it is not wrong for one group of people to attempt to perform ethnic cleansing because they were "disadvantaged" so it's okay.

I mean if that is the price we have to pay to keep Nazis out of society though clearly it is worth it. I mean how horrible would it be if we had students at prominent ivy League universities chanting things like. "There is only one solution infantada revolution."

But I am sure this relative standards of ethic and morality will lead us to a new golden age and not just engender resentment and divide.

What has happened here and continues is straight forward.

Somebody stakes a claim on US land and once they mine they pay a relatively small NSR fee to the government and keep everything else, less their extraction costs.

If your local community has, say, $64 billion in copper within its boundaries, a Canadian or Australian company can pay 1.5% of that value to the US government and take the rest.

Your local community gets nothing, save the chance to lodge an environmental or other protest.

Maybe some jobs, but it's not guarenteed.
I’m confused when people talk about this. If he had waited a year, wouldn’t the price of the stock he sold to pay for Twitter also have gone down? And the interest rate on the loans he got would have gone up? Curious if anyone has done a second order analysis on the purchase timing.
>Heck everyone has a government job here...ftfy

1 in every 4 people work for the Gov in Ontario and it is increasing. An elementary school teacher, fireman, Police officer and even some postal workers make more than most programmers. HS teachers retired with million dollar pension at 57 and collect 60-70k a year. There are regular cops making 120k a year. There are more STEM jobs in some US cities than there are in entire provinces. There is no work in Canada unless you find a Gov job. Private industry pays like shit in Canada, it's embarrassing. Everyone I know flees to the US first chance they get. Canadian private industry pays like shit and most folks are either slaves or under employed if they are lucky enough to find work.

It is an incredibly bad situation across the entire country.

This is why I don't begrudge sending telemetry for how I'm using software. As a developer myself, I really want to know if the code I'm writing is at all appreciated or if I'm just coding into the void, so I'm happy to send stats on how some one else's software is getting used.

I have been working at a nonprofit and have only recently started using this for cleaning up Excel or CSV files that we want to import. I am not as familiar with doing this with code, but I love that this tool gives me the steps I have taken in case I ever want to audit the changes I made to the data. The one disadvantage I see is that it seems like it’s only for a single user and it might be burdensome to collaborate since you have to share the project file.

I’m still excited to learn more about OpenRefine, but I guess maybe something like Google Colab might be better in terms of sharing and having direct access to our G Drives.

"One day the stars will be as familiar to each man as the landmarks, the curves, and the hills on the road that leads to his door, and one day this will be an airborne life. But by then men will have forgotten how to fly; they will be passengers on machines whose conductors are carefully promoted to a familiarity with labelled buttons, and in whose minds knowledge of the sky and the wind and the way of weather will be extraneous as passing fiction." -- Beryl Markham, West with the Night, 1942 (first person to solo the Atlantic east to west)

When I first ran across urbit I spent a few days trying to understand if they were building what I am building, because maybe I should just join them. When I discovered that artificial scarcity was involved, I felt confident that no, we are not building the same thing. But it did take quite a bit of research to come to that conclusion, much similarity.

I'll check out holochain, if just for contrast. I'm a bit leery about "chain" though, blockchains go to great lengths to achieve globally consistent outcomes, and I don't think people need that for most things. Even about money. Especially about money. If you're rich in here-dollars, and you go there, you shouldn't expect them to respect your here-dollars unless you earned them doing something that is also appreciated there. Liquidity comes from shared values, and different people often have different values, so like... drop the consistency criterion.

I know a few people with similar projects. We had put so much hope into what we thought the web could be, and we're pretty damn disappointed with what it is, so you've got a generation of nerds trying to build what we thought it could be.
Perf guns are similar to what you are describing.
So Airbnb is lying and refusing to cover what they claim they do, while also lying about how engaged they’ve been with the host during the process.

Cool. Good job Airbnb.
Thankfully we now have a ministry of finance serious about inflation and moving rates high, and provincial and federal governments cracking down on Airbnb.

No minister has anything to do with interest rates. Only the Bank of Canada does, and it takes no input or guidance from the government.
Oh my god thank you. Software engineering seems to be the only field where it seems like these types of super weird arguments about being too special or unique to follow or apply any business process are common, coupled with a vibe of "we are way smarter than everyone else".

Why are these people surprised that other stakeholders won't just accept a "trust me bro, it's ready when it's ready you just have to go with it" when nothing else works like that in the business world.
Nope, different school of hard knocks.
> He told the interviewers that the "superpower of an entrepreneur" is facing enormous tasks and asking themselves, "How hard can it be?"

I get how it could be possible to be stuck can be on the hamster wheel asking yourself this question over and over for a lifetime chasing fulfillment.

However, the guy is worth $35b+...

> If the above sounds somewhat negative, Huang's tone in this part of the interview isn't really regretful but more like an impassive observer. He wouldn't willingly follow the whole journey again, saying, "I think it's too much. It is just too much." He references feelings like pain, suffering, shame, and embarrassment.

I don't doubt there was fear of failure along the way/close calls, lots of risk and potential/actual cases for shame, etc.

I just don't get why he isn't speaking from a position of fulfillment... it's ironic obviously. Why discuss shame when you have so much success to point to?

Then again, if he would've said "There were times I felt shame along the way but overall it's been amazing and I'd totally do it again", we wouldn't be here reading the article/headline/comments about it...
Because startups are expected to fail, and VCs won't "waste" money unless they are forced to so they will leave the business with $0. Without legislation VCs won't assign any money for post-failure employee costs.

Running concern businesses don't have quite the same incentives nor the same risks of failure.
Nah man, discrimination on immutable characteristics is bad no matter what.

I have never heard of any company being able to impound fake products from the end consumers either. It's possible they have never tried, but normally they are only seizing product en masse from people selling it.
It depends on the mechanism of said creation.

If it is created as debt, then there's a due date for which it is repaid, with interest. In which case, it works out OK, if the interest is lower than actual economic growth.
99% of programmers have no real need for massively parallel code or prioritizing paralellism over sheer ease of use and easy access to C libraries.

People think parallelism is a huge use case. Despite the fact that a ton of CPU cycles are spent on multicore-compatible code, in practice that's just not what the vast majority of programmers spend their days working on.
> Sexism and racism refer to institutional bigotry and discrimination, not just discrimination in general.

This is a definition that a small, zealous, subset of people try to push. It is not a definition that the vast majority of people believe in or intend to use.

Ask a lawyer and your friend.

Grounds to sue mean at least wanting to sue, feeling that an injustice was made, having a legal avenue of suing, and predicting good probability of a favorable outcome.

Whether it’s likely he would get a favorable outcome depends on the legal system as well as its components. In case law countries, this might be a strong precedent-setting lawsuit, where the defendant will have an advantage due to the very lack of precedent. In civil law countries, it might be easier as no precedent is needed and discrimination would almost definitely not involve a jury. So if the laws are unbiased, a man and a woman would be treated exactly the same in that case.
This episode of Signals & Threads discusses a system (an exchange for OTC securities) which is both event sourced and which has constraints. It works in the same way you've described modulo some implementation details. https://signalsandthreads.com/state-machine-replication-and-...

Most of us are never going to work with a system with the scale and SLA to necessitate this approach, but it's an enjoyable interview nonetheless.
They most certainly took human actions into account, did you click on a search results and then come back? Did you click on multiple, or stay on one for a while?

Not all feedback needs to be direct and specific, though this is a feature I've long hoped for in Google Search. While I expect it to be useful, it would also be gamed by the SEO industry.

They have a paper that talks about many of the complexities: https://research.google/pubs/pub43146/
Unfortunately financial systems are the one example everyone uses for transactions, and also the most obvious place where event sourcing is close to mandatory.

I'm curious why the local community gets nothing. Don't they need lodging and food and amenities? And 1.5% of $64 billion is several hundred million dollars, which goes to the government who then spends it on their employees and various services, which then continue on and make up a whole economy. No?
> People in the (American, and I dare say elsewhere too) tech world do give a shit about the college you went to...

Not really. Nobody gives a damn what college you went to for the vast majority of jobs. They care about whether you went to college or not, regardless of the school. And even then, it's becoming more and more rare to find employers who are sticklers that applicants must have a degree.
Should be named "Software Startup CTO's Handbook"

There's a lot of good management advice to be had that applies to tech startups in which software is a very small part of the technical product or infrastructure.

Such a book can't be written by one person alone, but this could be the kernel of such a book. I've worked in the last 30 years exclusively in tech startups (or as they are called these days, "deep tech", bletch) and there are important model commonalities across software, cloud, networking, pharma, mechanical, consumer electronics, and chemistry as much as there are of course significant differences. The key is the word "startup" which implies "fast moving / high growth" compared to "normal" companies in those sectors, even when it takes five years to get to product.
This seems like a good law that encourages companies to explore for natural resources. The author of the article seems to think that companies should get environmental review before they even prospect for resources. I disagree and think that prospecting should be fairly easy for companies, with greater plans needed to actually do the extraction.
> The only question is who is eating the real losses.

nobody has to lose.

A buyer of a treasury is receiving interest payments, and will receive the entire principle on maturity. At the time of buying, the buyer must have judged that the value is worth buying. In the future, if the value drops, then that's loss, but it's not unexpected. Just like if the value grow.

Debt is something that is used to produce _more_. Now, if the debt was not used properly and with care then, that's a different story...
Maybe there is still more of his East Asian cultural roots in him than people think? It can basically just be part of being politely humble in those sensitivities. Glorifying oneself or one’s in-group is generally not well accepted across East Asia afaik.
I know. And we shouldn't.
I highly doubt there was a readily available C compiler for the 6502 in the 1980s. In any case the idea that developers were widely using C pre N64 is bull. Even in the SNES era it was the minority.
Would that entail the entirety of the United States?

Indigenous people would have had a say, if the claims were located in the nearby Bears Ears National Monument. But it was just next to it, so why would they get a say?
This is what happens in a world where “experts” are merely those with “certifications at the expert level” and not people with actual knowledge and experience.

That kind of world is an inevitable outcome of large bureaucracies and over-reliance on qualifications. You don’t just get idiocracy, you get Untruths and policies oriented around expanding the bureaucracy rather than addressing problems. See also: Lysenkoism in the USSR, EU’s model of funding startups through grants.

I honestly think this one of the things the US does way, way better than other developed countries. We pay a price in cronyism and corruption, but we actually let industry experts with real experience both advise on policy and take key government positions. We don’t pretend you need a PhD in X to be knowledgeable about X to nearly the same extent as Canada and the Eu.

You can’t just stick a midwit in a university for 10 years and expect them to be anything other than a midwit, and you can’t expert an organization that values compliance and internal politics more than performance and effectiveness to produce performant or effective leaders. You can’t bureaucracy your way into a free market either.

The part that has "for update" doesn't have "lock table".
Back when I worked at a Canadian startup and had to do SRED paperwork I got the vibe that it was more about companies that could afford to hire SRED consultants than it was actual research and dev. Heard stories about web dev / media shops milking SRED, while I saw people doing actual foundational engineering struggle (nor could they waste the time filling in the paperwork).

This was over a decade ago. Did not come away with a positive impression of the tech startup scene in Canada. Yours and other comments since have only fed that.
Part of this is the obvious desire to use technology that is "resumé compliant" to make getting the next job easier.

The other part is that "wisdom, judgment, and experience" is difficult to scale and often uncomfortable for management. Many/Most want software projects to run like their (imagined, fictional) vision of a civil engineering project or an assembly line where people are perfectly fungible. They don't want some engineer with 30 years of hard experience telling them that the project they promised for 6 months is going to take at least a year, no matter how many devs are hired.
The analogy only goes so far and it's not clear to me what you mean, what do you mean "default on tech debt"? Re-write? Give up and just accept the penalty when changing systems?
Mining in the US West wasn’t done by slave labor.

But they take the minerals for free. Why not make them pay for the resources they’re exploiting? Instead, the American public and native reservations get nothing, except they lose access and use of that land. That should be remunerated somehow.
Is success necessarily happy or fulfilling? There’s a lot of evidence that this isn’t the case.
