that was my biggest concern, but we had gone through various scenarios and we fully accepted the risks

we also mitigated the risks as well with scans and monitoring, and the worse case stuff - we also knew with research what the approx risks where (I really can't rememeber those now) but I do remember that hospitals typically massively over react - which causes harm in itself

> Availability of apartments was really bad, you had to wait in line for 10 years before you could get one. Then start fixing the flaws by yourself

The socialist countries were built on litteraly nothing, with a majority of population being illiterate. As developing countries they did very well. A fair comparison would actually be a country like Portugal or south Italy or even Greece. Waiting 10 years for an appartment is nothing, even by standards in the West. What is the average age of (loaned) property purchase in the West? What is the average age of loan repayment? In some advanced Western countries it is generation and a half.

Hahaha and what do you think you have to do today in many Eastern European countries, just to get a stable job. Hahaha

All those "apparachiks" just changed sides and do the same shit under capitalism.

In my country (EU) this sort of curruption still exists. If you actually need to be told this then I very much doubt you live in Eastern Europe, let alone somewhere not-at-all-corrupt like Ukraine
> social media apps that trick them into installing apps from outside Apple’s App Store

Apple could make this against the terms of service for App Store apps, and ban any apps that violate them. If the sideloading option exists, then Apple should be free to regulate the behavior of in-App Store behavior more strictly.

I can definitely relate to this chap. I have dedicated my entire career to supporting Apple software, but I am an Apple Developer, and have been, for over 35 years.

That means that, at times, I have been incandescent with rage at Apple. Other long-term Apple developers can relate, I'm sure.

May be different for customers; but developing for Apple platforms can be ... challenging.

But I still like doing it, and have no plans to change. My last app submission was in -24 hours or so.

This is a nightmare for people who produce actual print materials. My SO is a print designer doing mostly packaging design but also does some trade show materials. There is an incredible amount of thought in layout that can almost be considered branding for a company. Additionally, the static nature of print allows you to do complex layouts that wouldn't be translatable to HTML, let alone support different rendering engines, browser sizes, etc.

Many times even things like page or column breaks are extremely intentional. Having something "beneath the fold" or flowing onto another page can drastically change the way someone interacts with the piece of media. No PDF isn't great (my particular beef is with how there's almost no sense of a sentence, block, paragraph etc so it makes it almost impossible to copy or parse for text), but keep in mind that HTML/CSS only just reached near-parity in features in the past 5-6 years.

Google stopped needing VC money very fast, by the time I joined in 2006 it had long since been irrelevant. Google was funding the VCs by then, not the other way around.

The DoubleClick acquisition wasn't a merger, and had no impact on anything as far as I could tell. It was really acquired for the market share not the people and iirc every DoubleClick employee was reinterviewed, maybe half didn't make it!

I doubt McKinsey had much to do with it either.

IMO the problem was more that the culture of endless hiring disconnected from need eventually caught up with it. I think once Page finally became CEO he may have decided he didn't like it much, especially as with ever greater numbers of restless/bored employees the flow of negative feedback / hate mail got bigger and bigger. People like Pichai are often appointed as CEOs when founders move on, because they will stick to the founders vision and won't make any big changes. Ballmer and Tim Cook are similar, I think, except that Cook seems to have done a better job of keeping things on the original path than the other two did. Typically under such CEOs revenues and profits increase a lot, but there are few bold initiatives or risks taken. It's easy for drift to set in.

> I cannot purchase life insurance anywhere ... trust me I've tried. Which is funny because I thought the whole point of insurance was to equitably balance out the risk amongst a collective.

It is, but if you are higher risk, adding you is inequitable to the pool of already insured lower risk people.

You have to buy insurance before the need for it to be equitable to the others in the pool.

We aimed our two kids’ births to be April/May so that we could take advantage of hitting the annual out of pocket maximum and getting all physical therapy for recovery from birth and anything else that might happen fully covered. And to avoid new resident doctors coming starting in June.
Agreed, if there's no latency cost and no cost to maintaining the queue. But if your queue is never emptying, you've hit an equilibrium where you're persistently overloaded and constantly load shedding. In that case you can reduce the queue size so that it is only just not emptying - you'll still be running at 100% capacity and shedding the same amount of demand. And if there was a latency cost or a cost per item in the queue, you reduce those.

Edit: if you have an external control loop that is matching supply and demand, you could be persistently queuing without load shedding, in which case you might want to maintain the standing queue. In the absense of an external control loop, supply and demand will pretty much never be in precise equilibrium, in which case a persistent queue will pretty much always also mean you're load-shedding.

Can't contribute much I only write text games (mud engines) but my parents were super uninterested in my interest in computers as a kid in the 90s so it's great you're helping.

I didn't think too much of it back then as a kid but considering I was 8-9 and unknowingly learning how to break into a high paying engineering field and I had to beg them to buy my HTML and Dreamweaver books from B&K just blows my mind. One of those things where you get older and you're kinda like, wtf mom, you wouldn't buy me a $19.99 engineering book? What was I supposed to do, wait another 8 years until I had a job and could buy it myself? Do I need to go mow lawns for a month? Ridiculous. I had to pirate/warez all my software from super sketch russian sites because there was no way they'd buy me Dreamweaver/Netobjects.

Sounded like a lot of money as a kid and they were by no means low income so its just a huge wtf as an adult who knows what $20-30 costs compared to the benefit even with inflation.

I was always just "Playing on the computer."

I didn't know what the actual languages (java etc) meant back then and the internet was awful for learning. I only knew irc, not bbs, and was just making websites etc not knowing how to go further, nobody I knew outside of irc was into computers.

Whether they do make obviously stupid choices or not doesn't invalidate the principle.

As to whether they do make obviously stupid choices - I personally don't mind any of their choices (even if I wouldn't have made the same choice myself), and I know I'm not alone in this position, which means that by definition they're not "obviously" stupid. You can disagree with the choices and the trade-offs, sure, that doesn't make it obviously stupid.
The desire is so strong that you're even arguing in defence of scammers. There is no medical procedure that actually costs millions or hundreds of thousands of dollars, those bills are simply scams – unless they're surgically switching heads between people or bringing back the dead and buried to life.

As the old saying goes, it's ten times easier to fool somebody, than convincing them that they've been fooled. So I don't have any hopes. But complicated medical procedures and births are done everywhere in the world, and they don't cost millions or hundreds of thousands.

When I was coming up to speed on the BEAM this was such an amazing resource. The fact that it's free is bananas. In addition to the load management stuff, he also talked about some observability details that are really helpful (like how to more accurately understand CPU load on the BEAM). Highly recommend.
I agree in general except on this

> workload splitting where syncing isn't very important

I'm not convinced that remote means syncing is harder. There is a case to be made that: it's easier because it compels teams to have a structure for syncing, and structured syncing may be more efficient than ad hoc. Put another way, you potentially lose the crutch and end up stronger as a result.

This isn't a whimsical theory either- structured business processes are often missing and causing hidden costs and inefficiencies.
Observationally, self-serving denial seems to go through steps:

1. It's not happening.

2. Ok, it is happening, but it's not our fault.

3. Ok, it is our fault, but it's too hard to be worth addressing right now.

4. Ok, it would have been worth addressing at the time, but it's too late so we should learn to live with it.

These apply generally across the political spectrum, but specifically with respect to climate change, if people are shifting from step 1 to step 2 and even step 3 as per the article I suppose that is a form of progress in the sense that they are moving closer to reality. Having said that, no step requires that anyone take action or make sacrifices so practically it doesn't matter which step they're on.

Monumentally bad advice. Lost for words
Has that changed? AlphaFold is recent and was practically given away to the biotech community. Google is doing a startup based around it as well. So they're still unblocking scientists for funsies, maybe moreso than in the past.
The second was a slog for me too BUT weirdly enough the ideas and events that I'm thinking about the most come from that book. I have wondered many times whether the second book would have been a more enjoyable read if they had stuck with the translator from the first book, who also translated the third book.
You should never go completely without insurance, but the article does have some good points. I have health insurance, but they still find ways to not cover unforeseen expenses. Most recently an ambulance bill for my daughter at a school sporting event. So even with insurance I don't feel safe. The best advice is similar to that of the court system, try to avoid the system completely.
The readme says "We are working only with properly licensed speech recordings and all the code is Open Source so the model will be always safe to use for commercial applications."

> After all, you are paying more than 90k over 3 years.

That $90k ran up much faster than that, even with shitty insurance paying at least some of it, and medical needs continued to accelerate for a while afterwards. Savings wouldn't have done a bit of good; it was rapidly exhausted. (That's not part of the $90k, either! It's on top!)
Artificial persons aren't people.

AI isn't intelligence.

It's just a to make a parallel as some attributes are similar or identical, but not all, so they don't quality as the real. Mere similarities only.

I'm not at all condoning the behavior of corporations, but the corporation itself is no more capable of having malice for you than a tornado or meteor. A corporation's appearance of hostility is a byproduct of its primary function to acquire things-that-store-value.

That doesn't preclude the people within the corporation from having malice for you, though.

Unfortunately the world did nothing in the proceeding ~15 years. Imagine what Gaza could look like, and how improved the lives of Palestinians could be, if that $1B were spent on schools, hospitals, roads, and infrastructure.

This is called gambling. Health insurance isn't so expensive for no reason. You save a modest amount until you fall off a ladder and lose your house.

Buy the cheapest plan with an HSA. You essentially get an above-the-line deduction of all medical expenses even OTC things, you cap your expenses, and you get insurance-negotiated rates.

I used chatgpt to try to fix some issues with certbot, docker, and nodejs, I just gave up and went straight to forums, etc... I found out what I was looking for by interacting and putting together the answer out of those interactions. Of course, chatGPT is not "intelligent" to comprehend but that's how "open" AI and tech bros are selling it. I didn't even flinch when Microsoft announced it was going to implement AI in its search engine. Habits are difficult to change.

I'm still using Search engines (Brave most of the time and google when I can't find what I'm looking for), tech forums, StackOverflow (Still a tech gold mine), etc... and lastly chatgpt if I have time to write a really good prompt.

The bubble is still there, few are paying attention outside it, let alone using it to be "rich". Heck, Crypto Bros are now selling courses on how to monetize chatGPT, and what's worse, people are buying it! It's the same cycle over and over again.

Yes, LLMs brought decades of R&D to the forefront of society and put that piece of tech on people's hands yet that doesn't mean everyone will adopt it just because. Our phones are engineering marvels yet we use them for mundane things most of the time.

I don't have that info in the current datasets, but I could imagine down the road having a data source with latency information.

Network congestion is another beast. It's unfortunate, because I'm with you that it's really important. Only the network operators can measure congestion directly, and they don't share those metrics. I've wondered if I might be able to roughly guesstimate congestion levels in different areas, but I haven't come up with any terribly satisfying approach for that yet.

It's a bummer. Congestion is super important to the customer experience & super hard to assess short of actually buying and trying out a plan.
It's not just you.

The only thing I'm confused about is why more C standards keep coming out. C is what it is. Work with the archaic parts of it as need be. You use C for ultimate cross-platform compatibility (every exotic platform and its mother has an ANSI-C/C99 compiler). If you're able to run on the most bleeding-edge C compiler supporting the most recent WG version of C... then why not just use another language? I say this as someone who loves C. If there are bits that feel old, you just create a DSL to get around these problems that compiles down to C... but you don't change C itself.. Just my perception working with all this for many years now.
What spaced repetition algorithm does it use?
I admit I was being a bit flippant. But there's a case to be made from the "same people owning all the companies" argument that the investors in all these tech companies are also invested in commercial real estate returns. So basically it's Larry Fink who wants you back in the office, and hey he owns your co so the board will listen to him (being flippant again here).

People saying "outsourcing has always existed" are missing the point entirely. The amount of friction to outsource when your whole team is remote is significantly lower.

Because my company is remote, we have people in every US timezone, which opens up outsourcing to Brazil. A team member in Brazil is indistinguishable from someone in Florida.

Adoption can be gradual instead of all at once. We don't have to spin up a whole team in a remote location, we can go 1-by-1.
Is it a fair point to say that the meaning of love here could be interpreted in so many ways, depending on whose vantage point you are viewing it from.

One could certainly love (or like) a corporation if that company provides some meaningful semblance to one's life.

For example, if you are that company's employee and you have been well-provided with means to live a comfortable life while also being aligned with your values, I can't even think how you will have an ounce of contempt for that organization.

If the company provides you with products or services that enhances your way of living, then definitely there would be room for adoring them due to the positive impact that they have.

In the case of the OPs example, the company will be enforcing actions that have different repercussions depending on where you are on the side of the fence.

If you are from the outside where you publish products or services that needs to live within the company's digital ecosystem, then surely that additional tax is an impact that will hurt your finances overall. Anything that hurt your finances will a chain effect that can hurt your business, your decision making, and to some degree, your well being.

Its different when you are within the walls of that company. That additional margin would likely translate to increase compensation (if you are an employee) or better profit (if you are an investor).

The thing here is that, loving or liking or adoring a company hinges on how it impacts your personal bottom line. At the end of the day, the rationality of the decision is based on what each entity perceives as what is best for them. What's best for someone may not be the best for everyone. And that's reality.
