But you pay for facilitating the service of value transfer.

If you do it by hand yourself the effort burdens you and the seller.

You might argue that the cost is too much and maybe it should be state run and paid from taxes since it's the state that provides the service of money.
Honestly the whole thing - this is a topic I don't know very much about and the question and answers were fascinating to read.

Dunno about Ethiopia, but I expect some of the smaller island states will start to do away with ICE vehicles pretty soon.

I visited Vanuatu recently. Everything imported is very expensive because of shipping costs, including fuel. The longest drive you can do in the country is about 60km. Everybody drives slowly. There is no winter where solar power is unavailable.

Cheap Chinese EVs and solar power are a complete no brainer there.
This effect of <'a> spreading everywhere is very frequently a novice mistake of putting temporary scope-bound loans (AKA references) in structs that aren't temporary views themselves.

People used to C or C++ perspective tend to reflexively (over)use references to avoid copying, but references in Rust are to avoid owning, and not-copying is handled in different ways.

BTW, apart from edgiest of edge cases, &String is a useless type in Rust, because String already stores data "by reference" and is never implicitly copied. For loans it's generally better to deref to &str.
I am not convinced. First let’s be clear that there is minor ADHD which is a world of focus issues and minor distractions, and then there is catastrophic ADHD which is like living through the movie Momento in a world where memories don’t stick.

I live in a household with catastrophic ADHD. I really have no idea what minor ADHD is like, but the last thing catastrophic ADHD needs is a gaming experience. A gaming experience is not going to cure the brain damage that causes people to require a minimum of 11 hours of sleep per day or misplace everything they own, including clothes, shoes, and wrist watches.

> they are not fine with it and have no control over the company

something something "all unhappy families are unhappy in their own way"

In some places, the "vision" is sufficiently vague that all sorts of dumb decisions can be justified by it.

Or the CEO is so stupid that he only listens to his direct reports, who all tell him everything is under control. And when they tell him not to "micromanage" he listens and backs off.

You can't make any universal statements about this.
> Until a "Software Engineer" can basically look a company in the face and deny a permit to implement or operate a particular stack/implementation, this will not change.

The possibility of a business not earning revenue or income as a result of its software development attempt is a form of software authorization that prefers "good" coding over "bad" coding. Whatever the global industrialist landscape decides is good and bad.

And, interestingly, earning income with software development is a much harder hazing ritual than the paths of traditional academia.

That's exactly what I was thinking. I am the owner of your money, in fact. Hand it over. Post your BTC here (nobody else touch it, it's mine).

> "I want to do X therefor it's fair that Elon Musk will pay for it, and if he doesn't, he is evil and must be jailed"

We are equal under the law and we all should pay for it, nobody treated differently.

When did I tell you what my basis was?

The image of Musk whining 'it's not fair' like a 6 year old is pretty incredible, but in fairness to Musk, someone else is doing it. But for reasons unknown - why are you advocating for this complete stranger?
I didn’t think that we needed to spell out the context of ground transportation since that’s what the article is about, but sure.
Been running my startup for 7 years, not a unicorn but fairly successful. Can honestly say I’ve not made it through a single one of these books. Certainly have tried and have got a few nuggets, but nothing has compared to learning this stuff first hand, on the job. Sure having passable knowledge of this list is useful, but you’re going to hire in people/consultants/external providers to do almost every module on this list for you at some point, you’ll learn from them firsthand. You don’t need to read this list to get a business off the ground and by the time you do you’ll need to surround yourself with these specialists in some form pretty quickly.
It's a bit of a chicken-egg problem when the TPM is the root of trust for the entire system. Sure you can encrypt the data on the bus, but where do you store that key?

My point is instead of doing 100k transactions in your web app, you should look at how to gather them into batches. Think of how an old school bank mainframe programmer would do something, then realize you can do that every couple milliseconds so it feels realtime.

If you submit a batch every 5ms, then on average you are adding 2.5 ms of latency per request sitting in the batch buffer. But with 100k requests/second for example, you are getting batches of 500, which will get a lot more out of your database. Realistically, most people have far fewer than 100k requests/second, but the idea works at lower levels too. Even batches of 10 will give you a good boost. If you don't have enough requests/second to put together 10 requests/5 ms batch (2k req/s), then why worry about bottlenecks?

Wall time spent on a single request is the wrong way to understand performance for scalability. You can amortize wall time across many requests.

Also your db should be caching stuff for many workloads. Reddit gets about 80 GB/month of new posts/comments based on scraped dumps. An entire month of threads should fit in buffer pool cache no problem. If they really wanted to, their whole text history is only ~2.5TB, which you can fit in RAM for a relatively small amount of money compared to an engineer's salary. They should be getting very high cache hit ratios. Workloads with smaller working sets should always be cached.
Most consumer products (as opposed to some of those marketed to businesses) don't have enough of the components in place for the ME to accomplish anything, good or bad.
I really hope these people gain wider support. They seem so anti-establishment, which implies that the establishment is pro fraud. And that sounds about right to me.

This is a huge problem. When fraud is rewarded over legitimate research we lose so many times. Once when we reward the fraud, again when the fraudulent research is propagated into the corpus, again when we recognize that this has squelched legitimate scientific research in exchange for resources being sent to the fraud. And finally when trust in science falters.

There's every chance that the next great scientist is flipping burgers at McDonald's.

The problem is much bigger than anyone wants to admit. In some domains a coin flip is just as good as relying on peer reviewed research.

At that point, why even use package managers? That approach won't benefit from existing packaging infrastructure at all. Might as well distribute binaries in tarballs instead for simplicity.
The tooling/ecosystem looks probably great for developers actively creating with it, but for developers ‘consuming’ it (downloading some foss from github and changing a couple of lines) it leaves a lot to be desired. Not being able to ‘apt install’ a working toolchain on Debian for example - it’s already too outdated after just a year
At the per kWh price a lot of these miners contract for, it’s profitable even with older hardware. These arrangements also help extend the lifespan of older hardware.
Actually it is really hard if you work for a company and you need some amends on Wikipedia.

Imagine your quite large company has a small guitar shop on the other side of the globe that has the same name.

You just want a disambiguation so nobody thinks your company is this little guitar shop. You can't just edit it yourself, you need to find a Wikipedia expert and bribe them to somehow help with your plight. It is easy to imagine that a vast PR company will wave a magic wand, but it is not always like that.
I am not saying I agree with it. Just pointing out the current state of affairs, so people know the potential risks.

Amazon is 30 days, and it has made 14 days look stingy this day in age.
> AD&D... most commonly offered by workplaces

Like the employer offers coverage that extends to a non-employee spouse, like family health insurance?

I remember finding one product sold to individuals including stay-at-home parents a few years ago by Bright Peak Financial. Now I can't even get their website to load to see any details, so maybe it doesn't even exist anymore, but the coverage limits were pitifully low. Like it would cover only fraction of our childcare costs, and only for a time measured in months.

We definitely have term life coverage on her that will run until our youngest kid is a teenager.
The attention economy means that every time there's an opportunity, plenty of people will create attention grabbing responses with the common set of hot takes.

Same goes for comment sections and any time people get the opportunity to do anything with a possible attention reward. I've taken to being conscious of the kinds of obnoxious/unhelpful/nitpicking responses when commenting in threads to try to discourage low quality responses.

I love reducing Docker images to their smallest forms. It's great for security (minimizes the bill of materials and makes it easier to update at-risk libraries and such), makes developers really think about what their application absolutely needs to do what it needs to do (again, great for security), and greatly improves startup performance (because they are smaller).

We can definitely go smaller than 20MB and six layers.

Here's a solution that compresses everything into a single 8.7MB layer using tar and an intermediate staging stage: https://gist.github.com/carlosonunez/b6af15062661bf9dfcb8688...

Remember, every layer needs to be pulled individually and Docker will only pull a handful of layers at a time. Having everything in a single layer takes advantage of TCP scaling windows to receive the file as quickly as the pipe can send it (and you can receive it) and requires only one TCP session handshakes instead of _n_ of them. This is important when working within low-bandwidth or flappy networks.

That said, in a real-world scenario where I care about readability and maintainability, I'd either write this in Go with gzip-tar compression in the middle (single statically-compiled binaries for the win!) or I'd just use Busybox (~5MB base image) and copy what's missing into it since that base image ships with libc.
>As long as the government can keep a private key secure only they could make use of it.

I have the same problem, and sometimes I'll code with an ageing Thinkpad(just 8 gigs of ram on it and an i5 with pretty bad singe-core perf) on my couch, ssh into my desktop and run Emacs/vim that way. I still have a full environment on my Thinkpad, but the 13" screen means I don't always have my browser open(usually just the one terminal), and if I follow my impulse to open a hundred tabs of docs in a local browser, my system will slow down too much. Forces me to keep a clutter free setup to even get anything done!

Definitely think your idea is worth trying for yourself.

It’s well known that habits and mode of thinking change with environmental cues, and I find that extends to a digital environment as well. If you have a device that’s distinctly a “work” device and you’ve only ever used it for focused work, then your brain will hopefully catch on and keep you within that mode of thinking a little bit more effectively.

However, I find that with ADHD, a good “system” doesn’t solve all my problems. There is then the fundamental problem of regularly using that system, which it turns out ADHD also makes a serious challenge. So, yes, good systems have tremendous value, but just prepare for the undertaking of staying committed to the system you’ve set up for yourself.
A lot of lower end items are sent to the trash when returned. (Not items like an iPhone, which would be sold as referb models).

The wastefulness comes from the fact that the barrier to purchase is pretty low, given the ease of return, so one is more likely to buy an item which may end up in the trash in 14 days (30 for Amazon).

If I absolutely couldn’t return a product (aside from defects), I’d not buy a lot of items in the first place.

(I say this as someone who is guilty of plenty of “trials”).

I’m actually travelling through Japan right now, where one can visit a Yobadashi or Bic Camera, these stores are great, because all their tech is out and able to be played with, without explicitly getting assistance from a staff member. It’s obviously not the same as bringing a camera etc into the field to test, but it goes a long way in deciding if something works from an ergonomic perspective, before purchasing it.

Have you tried meditation? I genuinely am asking.
for a long time, the US considered cryptography algos as a munition. Needed some arms license to export.

Also, US tried to convince the world only 56 bits of encryption was sufficient. As SSL (I don’t think TLS was a thing back then) was becoming more mainstream, US govt only permitted banks and other entities to use DES [1] to “secure” their communications. Using anything more than 56 bits was considered illegal.

I’m sure that there is some SEC filing that you can find on Edgar that describes the exact procedure that they’re using. I’m not going to look :)

I really don’t think that this has anything to do with leap years or even the normal number of days in the year. It looks like they’ve decided that all of their quarters start on a Sunday and they choose a Sunday that puts the first day of the (quarter) month in that week, unless the first day is after Wednesday (???) in which case they use the next week.

It’s odd; I’ve never seen anything like that. But I’m pretty sure that as long as it’s “reasonable” and they are consistent about it, the SEC/IRS doesn’t care.

If I were to guess as to why they’d do something like this, it would be that they run weekly financial reports on Sundays so the executives can look at them Monday morning. And their quarterly reports are aggregations of the weekly reports. But who knows!
I wonder how is that pertinent to the argument I am making?

Or calling out click-bait and hype now requires filed patents and other "inventor" credentials?

FYI, I have 20+ years research and commercial experience developing virtual reality solutions, including published papers in scientific journals. Unlike patents and far-fetched ideas left for others to sort out, journal papers actually require results to be demonstrated and undergo peer review.

Does that qualify, Mr throwaway account?
Accelerators and Startup Studios

I agree and I think our hypotheses are two sides of the same coin - if the UX is great it gains users that aren’t good for business, if the UX is bad it filters for users that deeply need the product.

Probably makes things worse but I've taken to shining my high beams back at those blinding white LED headlights. I need something to act as a photonic barrier just so I don't drive myself off the road some nights; there aren't too many street lights in my area so my eyes will be conditioned for relative darkness and then all of the sudden somebody comes barreling around a curve with their 6000 lumen tactical blinder headlights. My headlights are just old halogens so I barely stand a chance. I doubt my high beams even pierce through their LED headlights, to be honest. Those things need a dimmer switch.

> NT was solid from the start

IIRC in about 1989 NT 3.1 was a very solid an reliable system.

The problem was it did no do IP

It was mostly downhill from there.

I got my first Linux machine in about 1992 and lost touch

But keeping windows NT patched, and keeping it running IP reliably were incompatible for a while

Did not stop its wide introduction in my world as IP servers.

It was as if software managers did not know any other systems existed.

Linux was considered "a toy" because it was free, it was much more reliable than NT (as was BSD I hear)

Sun were the other option but I saw no one spending the money

It was buggy, unreliable, insecure NT servers all the way

Still is for some. Squeezing into a Windows instance on Azure, fifteen mouse clicks, three context switches, and you have emulated rsync... Still making money selling terrible software, but now as a service....
That's why microsoft only hires people who fail any ethics test you can imagine, and who pass any asshole test that you can give them.
Bad headline for sure. The coverage by law is too low.
It's an interesting idea, but you can emulate this(lack of distractions) with some pretty simple configuration of your window manager, so it seems like a poor justification for buying a $3500 device in and of itself.
