Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it's my understanding that Meta (and most other big tech companies) have long been in the business of hiring a large number of recent social science Ph.D. graduates from top U.S. universities. People with a lot of knowledge of statistics and some domain-specific knowledge in their fields that could possibly be applicable to their job. The whole purpose of doing this is to create teams of marketing people doing in-house research to figure out how to best manipulate others by maximizing "engagement" or whatever other metric.

Isn't this just how all big tech companies operate as a normal business practice? Certainly Youtube is no better when it comes to targeted content and advertisements to children to their detriment.

My main point is that I don't think it makes any difference whether Meta has some internal document proving that they specifically target children with these practices. The problem is so much bigger than a single policy or company, and legislatures need to figure out a better way to address the overarching problems. I don't have much faith that these one-off lawsuits will make that much of an impact given that they almost always lead to some fine or settlement that is an acceptable business loss for the company.

I'm all for Meta being decimated by a thousand cuts in the form of lawsuits from various levels of government, but at best it would just be replaced with something else unless more regulation exists at the top levels (US / EU / etc).
Everything about that organization offends me. They took their name from a series of books they apparently never read.

How is Palantir supposed to save the shire? By trampling the rights of the Hobbits in addition to destroying their environment?

The Palantir show a narrow view of events and lead to their users to ruin. It’s like they read the cautionary tale as an instruction manual.

They chose an accurate name for what their product does, but I can’t understand how a person with that clarity of thought would decide to actually make one.
Every alternative to React roughly fall into one of 3 categories:

1. Go back to reactive templates.

2. Sprinkle directives over plain HTML a-la early Angular 1.

3. HTML over the wire.

All those ideas pre-date React and React won against them back in 2014.

This is not what needs to be argued. What needs to be argued is that the form of socializing and learning that can only can come through phones/tablets is worth the negative aspects.

As someone who grew up just before smartphones became a thing, I kinda also managed using books and shit.
Adding this for data. I charge $500 an hour for contracting. It's gotta be at least that as it's costing time I would otherwise spend with my family. Family time / time away from my core job is incredibly valuable.
Yeah sure, I discovered after 27 years of living that dairy makes me passively sick. I am lactose intolerant too, that came about as I got older, but I also have some kind of sensitivity to dairy. It makes me nauseous and kills my appetite while in my system. Lots of cramps and random belly aches too. Not a lot (or any) gas and diarrhea like is commonly associated with lactose intolerance.

I had no idea since I ate a typical American diet my whole life, which is very heavy in dairy. I thought feeling sick and nauseous after eating was normal. I thought not really ever being too hungry was just how I was. I thought having stomach cramps all the time was just human.

The whole story is long, but eventually I went from a low lactose diet (knowing I was lactose, I still ate low or no lactose dairy foods - hard cheeses, yogurts, lactose free whatever) to eating no dairy products. Only butter.

I gained 60 pounds in the 8 months following this, I also learned that feeling nauseous all the time also isn't normal and I am capable of eating way more than I thought possible.

This is talking declaratively at a high level about the kind of interface to render. Lots of component frameworks look like this example. Thinking "how sad it is that we haven't progressed beyond the state of gluing together low level divs and spans" sounds like a preconceived idea rather than a response to this article.

Broadcom's strategy is to remove sustaining engineering or deprecate product lines with limited uptake by F1000 customers.

Also, VMWare has A LOT of fat to trim. I've worked closely with teams and alumni of Broadcom/Avago, VMWare, CA Technologies, and Symantec, and honestly, the cuts Broadcom does are pretty reasonable.
And if you’re willing to compromise your functionality for anything, it just means that you are okay with being incompetent as long as you can justify it with some strict moral ideology. That’s equally sad.

The problems of social media go far beyond exploiting teens. It used to be you only saw mob behavior when a large group got together. With social media, you can have a virtual mob going all the time, and ready to materialize IRL for kinetic impact.

I wonder if more politicians will follow suit.
My recommendation for recovering from burnout is to find the sweet spot of caring less about the work, while not finding it boring. Care 60%, not 0 or 100.

“Sometimes I work hard, sometimes I just work”. It’s hard to “just work” on something you are passionate about. I think most startup folks will need to correct in the direction of caring less about work. (For a while! Not forever!)

I agree with your concern in that this is a U-shaped cost function. You don’t want to over-correct. But it’s not binary. You can care less than 100% and not be “punching in”.

There is a lot of variance between orgs and even teams within an org. But there are definitely companies where startup folks can do good work and not feel burnt out by the organizational inertia.

The article’s title is totally wrong. It was Google’s mistake not the child’s.
> To prove it, we’re going to do something kinda crazy: build an app where every single component is written with a different framework.

Interesting exercise. But now I wish she/he would one-by-one replace each framework with web components, so that in the end, there are no frameworks, only web components. As in, "Oh shit! We're going to abandon Vue (or React, etc.) and replace it with web components" or "We've been taked to only use web componentst, and no frameworks." What does that migration / transformation look like? Isn't that a likely scenario?

Broadcom is almost 50% Hardware and 50% Enterprise SaaS (CA Technologies' APM product line, Symantec's EPP product line, and now VMWare's entire private cloud product line) by revenue.

I wouldn't be surprised if Broadcom did this acquisition in order to pull of a HP/HPE type split. Broadcom alumni did a similar thing with Citrix, TIBCO, and NetScaler merging into the "Cloud Security Group"
This was exactly my experience when I was working in Go. Each line was easy to understand, but reading actual code was painful because I needed to read so much to figure out what was actually being done. I was basically spending 90% of the time mentally simplifying the code into abstractions so that I could understand the business logic. Then once I understood the business logic I had to zoom back in to check that their inlined reimplementation of various basic data manipulation routines were correct.
A freelance developer can easily ask $250/hour, similar for a contract agency, and that is kind of a low amount. It sounds like a lot for a single developer but if one considers all of the non-billed time of chasing leads and bills it's maybe a different picture.
This shows pretty clearly they’re indexing the content on everyone’s servers. I wonder if the MPAA, etc. could make the argument they’re inducing piracy by allowing it to happen. I also wonder if Plex could be forced to give up identity info on people that are suppliers via shared instances.
Unfortunately, once you go further I personally still find Java (and Rust) "executors" far more easy to use than Golang's channel synchronization.
This article misses two key points:

- The worker's family can still sue Amazon

- Most OSHA fines aren't for accidents, there for "failure to abate" - this means, if Amazon didn't implement safeguards to stop a similar accident from happening again, they could be fined $15,000 per day.

I do think OSHA fines are to low, but it makes sense to fine for failure to abate rather than accidents, especially when you think about smaller businesses - you don't want to take money away from a company before it has a chance to use that money to fix the issue.
I've worked with Terraform extensively, including doing a lot of similar work (Reference Architectures, modules, AWS) over the past several years.

This was my first time using Pulumi, and it was very much a delight. There's clearly been a lot of thought and effort put into the plugins and overall developer experience.

For example, you can have Pulumi handle the Docker image builds for you - as well as the ECR repository logins and pushes. This means that your end users don't need to manually build images, log into ECR and push them - they just run `pulumi up` instead.

I expect communities to become more segregated - as in real life where small communities isolate away from criminals - and more closed. It makes sense considering rampant theft, misinformation and ever increasing dubiousness that plagues the internet as a medium - in no small part thanks to procedural content generators that are schizoidly compared to human intelligence.

Do you have any examples of comments you believe were generated by AI?

In my experience, ChatGPT has a very distinctive writing style that's easy to identify, even if you "prompt engineer" to get something a little less generic. It also tends to not write anything of substance. The very few GPT-generated comments I've seen tend to get downvoted into oblivion.
We do, but it requires a lot more for something like this to pass and take people by surprise. In jellyfin there is no central server and it works fine without internet access.

With Plex it was always implied that they could do something like this, just not why they would want to.

I'm not defending google or saying they haven't done anything wrong here, but it is insanely hard to make Google drive. I very much doubt Google drive has a staff of any where near 100k employees and it's probably the largest file browser ever made. It's an engineering marvel. Can Google do better? Absolutely. But, it's objectively wrong to say there's nothing hard about building something like Google drive.

I think this is like looking at the Burj Khalifa and asking how hard it can be to make a building. It's not just a building, it's the tallest building ever built.
Sounds like you're more into 'bring your own equipment' policies than FIRE or whatever the opposite of that is. You might look into optimizing what field you're working in (like do you want to work for a bank, a game dev, a healthcare company, or oil company, etc.), or what your day-to-day duties are.

> Yeah, if you live in a country where the state is weak, companies can easily rob you, but if you live in a place without a functioning government like Venezuela, then Adobe is probably at the bottom of the list of entities who are out to rob you, way behind the government itself and various gangs.

This is hardly a counter-argument, on the contrary. Imagine being a Venezuelan and already suffering from high inflation rates, social unrest and so on. Now on top of that, you lose access to software you depend on.

Again, the point is not "being robbed". The point is that corporations are in control of important pants of your lives when they shouldn't.
The ending was a little odd to me. Why would someone believe that hives aren't extended phenotype of the bee? As the article examples: hives to bees are like beavers to dams.

If the company is no longer a legal entity in the country any more, I think it would be very hard to sue for it or get anything out of it.
I’d happily pay $50/m for a streaming service with a single UI that had all the shit my piracy server does, and a guarantee that things won’t disappear (or at least a track record of that rarely happening). Hell, I might pay as much as $100/m. Maintaining the server and pirating stuff takes time, and hard drives cost real money.

It’s only the combo of money savings, higher quality (most steams are shit), unavailability of what I want (the best versions of several TV shows and movies are piracy exclusives, for one thing), and unified UI that make it worth it. Start chipping away at those, and it gets not-worth-it pretty fast. Apple tried with their unified streaming service UI on Apple TV, but several big players who hate their paying customers refused to implement it, so that’s a dud.

Hell, I in-fact still pay for like five streaming services despite all the above. I’d gladly pay one higher bill if it let me stop fussing with this crap.

The same argument was literally made against newspapers and how people were ignoring each other and their environment and causing accidents. It turned out just fine.
Ya, looks like it goes to a privately run server and the client that accesses the data requires membership. Seems like there should be something like Open ADSB (aircraft) but for trains. I might be interested in working on something like that too.

This is not at all surprising when the business model does nothing to encourage drivers and restaurants to cooperate. If these places had to service their customers directly with drive-through/drive-up they would not be able to sustain themselves.

As it is, the delivery driver usually ends up being the customer's punching bag for any issue whatsoever. Do delivery drivers have any leverage whatsoever against restaurants who provide this kind of terrible experience?

Percent of income spent on energy increased? That seems very unlikely. I didn't find a handy FRED graph but looking at Nebraska data it seems to be the opposite: https://neo.ne.gov/programs/stats/inf/195.htm

Square footage of house heated and temp set point have also increased. If you want to blame Nixon for our modern comfort then maybe he should get a medal. We clearly feel that we can spend much more on it than we used to: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4456148/

Miles driven per year have increased from 3.5k in 1970 to to 10k. If we're driving 3x as much, and cars are more complex, it would be weird if we weren't spending more on transportation.

> The supply hasn't kept up with the demand since then.

Yes, we agree, but this has nothing to do with Nixon, and everything to do with regulation choices that are independent of Bretton Woods. Again, you should look at other countries before deciding on something so monocausal for your explanation.

> The simple fact now is the majority of Americans will never own a home.

Despite the regulatory environment, home ownership in the US is almost the highest in history, and higher than 1970.

Line breaks often carry meaning, for example many people like to line up things that belong together but which live on separate lines, and gofmt helps with this. Having many ways to format a given AST (unlike Prettier) is not against the Go philosphy which I would say is "be pragmatic".

If you want a line to be shorter because you as a human find it easier to read that way then you can add a linebreak yourself, and trust that your meaning will be preserved.
That is still far too much an exaggeration. This is an opinionated beautifier. Its a vanity item with some downstream utility benefits.

A good point. So the real numbers exist in the same sense that anything else they might describe does.

My original point was really a comment on the way that the subject is often taught: the real number system is not introduced as some arbitrary set of rules that is as good as any other (though of course it is); it is introduced as if it were as incontrovertible an idea as, say… integer addition. I don’t think it is. It can perfectly well be argued that it makes sense and is useful, but its naturality is another matter. I personally find the leap from R to C less controversial than that from Q to R.
Now if it had cameras in the back on each shelf so you can see what someone left back there obscured by other things, that might make that display worth it...
Yeah. Repatriation is probably an overstated trend even if companies are generally getting smarter about where and how they run workloads. But, while it's hard to migrate companies off VMware to a different on-prem solution, I'm not sure that you'll see workloads being repatriated going onto VMware (unless the company already has a large installed base).
They released multiple trailers hinting to come back of older characters and yet it bombed. It wasn't just the plot in this case but the characters didn't have neither the star power behind nor the coherence that characters like iron man and captain america had.
