That misses the danger. We have to view societal inefficiencies as a targeted way of offloading pressure from expedient, one-size-fits-all "production quotas" and "final solutions". Technologies are levers - they produce leveraging forces, and we have to learn ways of using them appropriately in a holistic sense. They aren't the same as going up a level in a video game and being able to do the same thing plus one, because the dependencies of technology create new constraints: in a world with books, illiteracy becomes disabling.

Now, we can say with confidence that some inefficiencies don't work and are just inducements for everyday waste and corruption. But the majority of those aren't hyped technologies, they are longstanding norms. The hype and investment is, rather, a hope that the new problem saves us from the old problem in some respect - that, you know, maybe you can use all this new stuff to manufacture your own dishwasher, exactly how you want it, and it doesn't need a middleman company to make it "smart".

If you want to write software that is "nice" in the sense of longevity, you have to target archival materials, which isn't within computing's mainstream, but is a major aspect of retrocomputing: certain elements have proven to last, and within their context, you can just pick them up and use them again and again, for the rest of your life. You can reasonably hope to target VGA, PS/2 keyboards, 6502 processors, etc.

If you leave the software open to using new I/O, new protocols, you are engaging in speculation. Speculation needs financial motivations to fill in gaps: you can't get everywhere you want to go by working on the fun parts. You build a company because you are trying to fill in a gap. It is not pretty and sometimes you break some hearts, minds and bodies by being the person doing that, but it's quite a bit better than an armed struggle.

> There are a subset of cops who are corrupt, or racist, or classist, where merely interacting with the police can lead to serious outcomes, but that's sort of a different problem that has to be addressed more systematically.

The fundamental problem is that you don't know whether the police officer you are talking to is good or not, and if you find out, it is too late.

Talking to a police officer is like petting someone else's dog. Don't do so unless you've talked to someone who feeds it first.

The flipside of those who may go "aha, price controls on labor don't work" are

* Changes in demand unrelated to the fee

* (as noted in the article) A flood of labor supply since people may have thought Doordashing was a good job due tothe bill

* A change in price making people realize they don't need to waste money on delivery

* People dumping Doordash because they're assholes for passing costs onto the customer

I get the public API argument, but it certainly feels backwards to structure the internals of your application for that specific use case. Generating and mapping an UUID to your identifier when you need it is pretty straight forward and allows you to avoid exposing the identifier at all.

Which leaves partitioning, something that very few applications will ever need, even if plenty of developers hope they will. A slightly less weird use case, but perfectly doable up to a point using regular sequences.

I see a solution looking for problems.
And you should too since k8s, while an 800lb gorilla on the side of the implementer, gives your dev teams the cloud experience without having to build the APIs yourself. Which is pretty nice honestly, making infra self-service isn't on offer most places hosting on-prem.
Yes because ions are... ions. You don't see photons knocking the planet out of orbit, do you? They can exert force but they don't exert that much force.

But if you're trying to avoid self-propulsion and want to launch from Earth, say, even a 200kg craft, anywhere "close to the speed of light", then that will most probably require a significant enough amount of force to knock the planet out of orbit.
Well then, it's easy: Just always face the exhaust in that direction! It's not rocket science!

> If you want to be extremely cynical and seek to strictly extend and project the USA's power as harshly and effectively as possible, the war in Ukraine was God's gift to the USA. They get to basically take out Russia (China's key geopolitical ally) without losing a single American life, for a tiny fraction of the amount they're used to spending on wars.

In a sane timeline, support for Ukraine should be unanimous amongst US politicians. Whether they would be neocons (following the calculation you outlined), liberals out to support oppressed people, cold-hearted capitalists out to make a buck both during wartime and in reconstruction, anyone supporting the military who will get an influx of new toys as their old ones are shipped out to Ukraine at basically no cost for the taxpayer, testosterone-addicted macho patriots who get to see American technology crush the remains of a former peer adversary.

It really should be a no brainer. And yet…

Wow. I'm amazed by stories like.

Edit:
So, more high level. How many people took software jobs because they like to code, but end up not coding because a ton of software jobs are on the bureaucracy side. They get frustrated, so go home and code open source.

"Although the density of atoms in the interstellar medium is usually far below that in the best laboratory vacuums, the mean free path between collisions is short compared to typical interstellar lengths, so on these scales the ISM behaves as a gas (more precisely, as a plasma: it is everywhere at least slightly ionized), responding to pressure forces, and not as a collection of non-interacting particles."

> capitalist would argue that markets are you best shot at doing this.

That's predicated on anti-monopoly laws and other kinds of fairness requirements that are imposed on the market from the outside.

Markets, or capitalism, if you want, work best when there are some things in infinite supply (eg. consumers), when marketing is honest... whoops! And so on.

Regulations is what's preventing (free-market) capitalism from imploding. But, of course, it's hard to make good rules, and especially durable rules (because people learn to game the system).

That's silly. My flashlight shoots stuff at speed of light all the time. Mass matters.

Shooting just enough mass at very high velocity is not much different than shooting a lot more mass at lower velocity, in terms of force.

If a customer wants to buy thousands of a widget at $1500 and you usually sell them at $2000 a widget but you can move the slider on maintainability or make an agreement that the customer accepts some reduced quality -- if that's something the two businesses can agree on and it's not a negligent change to make then it's probably worth prioritizing that. I think we might agree on that.

It happens that in this particular case, Boeing should be checking that their supplier installs bolts and drills holes correctly because their supplier has screwed it up so many times.

Not sure why people are disliking your comment. You are absolutely right - a business that cannot turn a profit while paying even the most basic wages (I wouldn’t call $15 per hour “living”) has no business existing. How did people in the 1930s understand this and pass the Fair Labor Standards Act, and yet highly-educated techies fail to grasp this simple concept?
> Mass matters.

Exactly. You try accelerating 200kg up to anywhere close to the speed of light (say 80%). That is a lot of force.

Technically even photons can exert force on objects, but they have such a small mass that it's a difficult effect to observe.
Yep, same deal with CISO’s, but in their case it’s even more obvious.
I'm reading up again to refresh my relativity knowledge. Though:

> even though near the speed of light, more and more of that energy goes into higher mass and slower time?

This to me does not sound very different from saying the (relativistic) mass to be accelerated is larger, and is what's stopping a 1G (or any constant) acceleration to be maintained to bring the ship to the speed of light.

The concept may have been an overly simplified pedagogical tool though that I need to upgrade from. (I'll keep the comment chain intact since it's educational to me).

> My mind initially goes to the Apple Vision Pro. [...] while they appreciate all the good things it has that are true next-gen capabilities, they give nearly equal time to the things it doesn't do well yet.

Depending on which traits of the Apple Vision Pro that these people criticize, they are actually very right in their skepticism.

For example:

- Is the Apple Vision Pro very open for installing own software/firmware? -> for this, Apple has to become an entirely different company

- Related: will the Apple Vision Pro enforce an App Store -> very likely, and this will in all likelihood not change

- Does the Apple Vision Pro have good repairability? -> I guess it won't get one in the foreseeable future.

In this sense: perhaps I am one of these critics that you have in mind; I nevertheless stand by my position: for the things that the Apple Vision Pro does in my opinion badly to disappear, Apple has to become a very different company.
> In forcing "détente" on Europe, are you happy to trade good relations with most of Europe, your oldest allies, for maybe better relations with Russia, your enemy who hates you and seeks your destruction? Really? Sounds like a shit and moronic deal to me.

There won’t be any détente in Europe. There was an opportunity in the early 2000s but both Russia and Western European countries fumbled it. Now the door was closed and Russia’s actions ensured that it won’t open for quite a while. It is difficult to grasp how profound the effects on European politics has been.

This is what is so pathetic about those Americans who delude themselves thinking that if they close their eyes it will be ok. The world is slipping through their fingers and they don’t realise that this is accelerating the disintegration of American power. This war is fundamentally different from Iraq in a way they do not seem to grasp.

Deno is such a great project. I would love to see greater support for embedding it into a Rust host process.

I'm writing a JavaScript bundler and need a Node.js runtime to execute plugins. Deno's executable has fantastic Node support (at least, good enough for my use case) however the deno-core crate is super barebones and difficult to embed.

At this stage I can't simply add the deno runtime into my Rust application, I need to copy/paste internal crates from the Deno executable and wire them up myself (without documentation on how).

I'd love to see expansion for my use case - Deno could become the "plugin runtime" for the JS tooling world if it had a nice embed story.

Right now I am just going with a Nodejs child process that I talk to from the Rust host process using stdio. In my tests, the stdio approach has 10x the communication latency when compared to an embedded Deno runtime (that adds ~1 second per round trip message in a project with 100k assets)
Minimum wages serve a political purpose, but they also force automation on an economy. One can study various countries which had very cheap labor pre-1900, and see how far behind they got (e.g. China.)

> When you consider the anti-competitive, innovation stifling behavior of Microsoft in the 90s or Google/Apple today, what's the impact in terms of holding back humanity?

They actually moved humanity forward. Microsoft/Apple/Google have brought computing to the masses. They made computers work for the average person. Whether from the goal to put a PC on every desk, put a powerful portable, usable computer in every pocket, and brought turn-by-turn directions to the masses.

The whole Unix, designing only for the high-priesthood and everybody else be damned philosophy has probably held back computing more than anything Microsoft or Apple or Google did.

Yes really. The lack of any working implementation in production systems is an issue (D-RTM + encrypted sessions), something that Apple has done in an equivalent threat model since the iPhone 11. You can argue that "insecure by design" doesn't apply because there is a secure design in the abstract but the fact that nobody has adopted it in 20 years says something about the design itself.

It's _also_ insecure by design because in every deployed implementation (including with PIN), it is S-RTM meaning that _any_ UEFI driver vuln will compromise your TPM key. Yes, any UEFI vulnerability in its countless vendor drivers, USB stack, network stack, etc.
