I work with a bunch of brands and the marketplace itself is a huge problem. Stolen goods, return fraud, Amazon directly competing after finding a profitable brand/product, chinese knockoffs/junk, mixed inventory, ads, many more. The tools amazon provides to combat these are largely useless.

Diving into one I think is detrimental to both sellers and customers, Ads. If you are not a huge brand this is a ~mandatory additional cost on top of FBA (or you won't show in results). As a customer it sucks because many of the top results are trash. Why bother having a decent product if you can just buy a ranking and some fake reviews? Amazon is pushing this so hard right now as it is a quickly growing revenue stream for them :(
I worked at enterprise software companies, and I have seen them usually give 25% “buffer” where software keys restrict usage to account for growth, with a reconciliation at renewal.
> I don't tend towards expressing personal comparisons "in public" since they seem both inevitable regardless of the situation and disrespectful to bring up as a topic of interest—not to mention potentially exposing you as incompetent yourself. I guess not everyone else feels the same way.

I read it as "extra vigilant ... [because it's natural for people, including me, to focus on the happy path]".

I didn't read it as putting down other people you've worked with, holding yourself up as some paragon, OR potentially exposing yourself as incompetent (I'm really not sure how it would do that anyway?).

People tend to focus on the happy path. It's good to be aware of that and try to correct it. It doesn't require or imply thinking poorly of other people.
Even if there isn't a contractual limit, I think this is a pretty easy logic problem for an engineer (such as myself):

If a stock costs $10, and I spend $100 to buy 10 shares of that stock, I don't want to sell that stock if it's worth less than $10.

Will I consider taking the loss? Maybe... but I will probably be unhappy with it, so I will do everything in my power to wait to sell until the stock is worth more than $10 again.

Does the real world have this "shrinking turn-by-turn" mechanic though? It seems to keep expanding, if anything. There are more people, more things, more resources, more complexity each year. That's where the risk is coming from: new sources of power supplanting the old ones.
> "printing press to furnace" analogy of the economy

Very roughly modern economies work by printing money in the form of government treasuries (government borrows $ to run the country) and destroys money by charging taxes (taxes go to IRS and are used to pay off the outstanding treasuries)
The implicit assumption you seem to have here is that building the “machinery” to get to the point of a “frictionless”/perfect markets is not fundamentally valuable to everyone.

The implication in fact is that it’s immoral to be ‘paid’ for doing so?

I’d argue that just makes the world a poorer place overall, as there is no direct incentive to do things better. In the typical environments this plays out, there is actually a lot of incentive to do things worse.

Cost plus is one way of doing this kind of thing, and that gives strong incentives to inflate costs, for instance.

gov’t budgets are another, and anyone who has worked in the government or other large organization knows you’d better spend your budget each year or you’ll lose it. So no one ever has any left over short of something crazy happening.

What AI? From the article they iterated through a lot of possible materials and calculated how they'd fare according to some physics based criteria. They also mention HPC.

So they did a brute force search through possible candidates to find promising ones. Which makes a lot of sense but ... AI?

Correct - there are no examples of evolution in non living things. There are however evolving ways of using things, but things don't evolve, don't think, and don't learn. Uneducated people do assign such attributes to things - when people first saw tractors, planes or robots they thought they were the devil, coming to grab them. Much like ai doomers or those that support the notion that they are somehow intelligent do. People used to think computer viruses are alive and have a mind on their own. Again similar to people thinking tractors are the devil. Same old lack of understanding of technology.

I've had a great experience with Tailscale, but when it comes to databases, I lean towards Border0. What stands out for me is the seamless single sign-on access it offers to my database, eliminating the need for a traditional perimeter VPN and shared database credentials.
Another aspect I appreciate is the granular control it provides. With Border0, I can define specific database access levels, like Select, Delete, Insert, etc., which can be tailored based on various flexible policies, including SSO identity, IP addresses, or country-specific parameters. Also, the detailed query logs tied to each SSO identity are invaluable for accurate attribution and tracking.
> In general, there is nothing really to worry about if you aren't doing something against the law in the first place.

I think this is worrying that a state agency can make you that transparent. It won't help fighting crime for that matter. The Swiss government can be pretty criminal itself for that matter.
Well, I guess I'm really talking about the price of the service rather than the cost to run it really (i.e. what would be a competitive price for the service considering other offerings), but appreciate that the price has to be less than their costs.

Although my assumption (which could be incorrect) is that storage is not the main driver for cost. For Netflix and Spotify I assume their major cost would be licencing, which YouTube mostly gets to forgo. For YouTube, I would assume bandwidth / data transfer is the biggest factor.
How We Build the Ultimate Text-to-3D-Avatar Tool
It seems like you were only pretending when you said you were playing devil's advocate, when you were actually expressing your true viewpoints.

I trust you weren't using "devil's advocate" as a way to say something while trying to avoid direct criticism.

If 65 mph is too low, then what maximum speed do you think is appropriate? 70? 90? 120? The local maximum speed limit + 15mph?

If you think any artificial limit is intrinsically less safe (bear in mind that high-end cars are already artificially limited to 155 mph), then the same logic says that, if price is not any issue, it's always safer for a kid to drive a faster car with good acceleration - the faster and more powerful, the safer it is.

If you think a maximum of 90mph is too slow to be safe, what do you say to parents who buy their kid a car with a max speed of 90mph? Do you tell them you think that care is unsafe and they should get a faster car if they can afford it?

(This reminds me of the Swedish A-Tractor, which lets 16+ year olds drive certain vehicles so long as they are limited to a max of 30km/h, including through electronic limiters. According to you, that's more unsafe than allowing faster speeds. Strange that the Swedish government feels otherwise.)

Your examples were all on the motorway. I presume a parent wanting the 65 mph speed limit will also want the teen driver to stay off the interstate, motorway, or other highway. If the kid is only supposed to drive on roads with a max 45 mph speed limit, then a car limit of 65 mph should be just fine, yes?

Many US states limit school buses carrying students to 55 mph, even on the interstate. Buses also have lower acceleration than a car. From what I can tell, the consensus by the relevant authorities is that raising the limit to better match the flow of traffic is more dangerous because of the increased deadliness of any crashes.

How is it that the driver of a 15-passenger school bus is able to handle restrictions you think are so unsafe that you couldn't handle them?

I don't understand the point of your last paragraph. Just because those things helped keep you from being a dumb-ass driver as a kid doesn't mean that another tool - a speed limiter - can't be an additional useful parental restriction on a beginning driver. For one, unlike everything you listed, it does not require third-party involvement.
I imply you mean heterosexual relationship? No woman will create household with a man with comparable net worth. There is only short time span in life around secondary school and early university when it's possible and which most miss. I've never dated a woman with net worth even approaching mine.

I've experienced the opposite too: orgs looking at down on cloud-only devs.

The idea being that devs who lean on cloud excessively do that to masks their lack of fundamentals, which will cause costly fuck ups no matter what technology they use, cloud or on-prem.

Maybe directionally similar idea to hiring ex-Googlers? Some orgs also don't like those. Specific mindset, specific toolbox.
Capitalism is like a sleight of hand trick, a cheap con designed to distract with stupid toys and distractions while it robs you blind.

It pretending that it's creating value, while never showing where the value comes from. Often it comes from extraction from other places. What the OP is experiencing is merely one of the many ugly heads of the very much real process of extracting value in pursuit of profit. There are many other sides:

- Your cheap t-shirts are often created with child labor, and at tremendous cost to the environment.

- Their cigarettes and pain relievers are your addiction and your death.

- Your meat-for-everybody-everyday comes at the expenses of destruction of native habitat, immense animal suffering, toxic runoff and deforestation.

- Your consumer electronics come at the cost of toxic levels of PFAs in your and your children's blood.

- Your convenient transport comes at expense of choking cities, rising sea levels, and dying habitats.

- Your ChatGPT/Dall-E convenience robs hundreds if not thousands of people from their livelihood, and has been trained of others' work without their permission or consent, and the electricity and pollution bill will astound you.

- Coca cola and their plastic producing friends and its convenient packaging created an obesity epidemic and an island of garbage in the pacific.

- Teflon and 3M and their amazing, revolutionary non-stick surfaces created our future cancers.

What's happening with the layoffs in the industry is just another facet of extracting $$$ without looking where the "extraction" comes from, yet another logical level of "optimizing", disguising the fact that it's all a race to the bottom. Yet another group is going to be replaced by automation or less workers doing more work for less pay, simply in pursuit of "value".

> Standards of living have never been higher, worldwide poverty has never been lower, all hand-delivered to each of us via capitalism.

Yes, it's the excess before the imminent end, it's the idea you can infinitely grow in a finite world with finite resources. This idea is mirrored by the corps and their gambles on the stock market, pretending to create a value in the millions more than they actually do create. It's unhinged, unstoppable, unsupported by reality, grotesque growth, very much like cancer.

You can disagree, protest and twist and shake your logic like an eel trying to deny the undeniable: the only thing capitalism is hand-delivering is the collapse of society, the mass extinction of nature, and the end of a livable Earth.

The fact that the OP, a more than talanted dev, can't find a job easily atm is very much connected to the extraction of value, and the insidious exploitative character of capitalism. Take your growth and keep it to yourself.

Absolutely.

I don't think toll booths are necessary anymore. Certainly the Dartford crossing doesn't use them.
I’m not being hyperbolic here, in my experience with the super rich there area few common things:

1. They don’t have to do anything they don’t want to so generally have a relative lack of empathy

2. just a few notches above average intelligence but are rarely “genius”

3. They live in mental/emotional bubbles and almost never spend time with “regular” people doing things like shopping, cooking, sitting in traffic or using the infrastructure that unwashed use

That means they can think far enough in the future about “macro“ trends (which don’t really exist), while also fucking over everybody in the process because they don’t have to even experience any of the “externalities” that their actions take.

They see themselves as kings and better educated, more traveled, more cosmopolitan etc… so it’s purely ego

As someone who’s adopting bikes for most of my utility needs, food shopping, dropping kids off at school, one thing I can’t agree with is that cars are more convenient. In general, I find cars to be far less convenient. They are annoying to park, often get stuck in traffic, and generally are just annoying large boxes that you need a lot of space to maneuver. Using a cargo bike for most of those needs on the other hand is far more convenient. Cars are definitely more comfortable, especially on rainy days. But even on rainy days, I often choose to ride (if it’s not a crazy storm) as it’s still more convenient.

Murphy's first law of combat: if the enemy is in range so are you.

With cannons it's even worse, since the defender usually has a height advantage over a ship and thus has more range. And that's ignoring that you can put heavier cannons on city walls than you can put on ships.

> you can't expect the student model to know better than the teacher model does.

Why not? People outgrow their teachers all the time, even in fields where there is no new external data, like maths. Often improved understanding comes just from reflecting on an issue from new perspectives, which synthetic data can provide. Perhaps a teacher/student model helps AI develop those new insights, just as it does for us.
