>>It seems clear that if you achieve increased productivity by ensuring that 90% of the population worked, say, 60 hours a week, with no maternity leave or PTO, no large amount of time to spend outdoors or with loved ones, you could have a productive economy full of miserable people.

In the absence of mandated benefits, working conditions still improve over time, just not via cookie cutter rules that regiment the employment terms that workers and employers are allowed to reach.

People being miserable is not good for long-term productivity so that is not the outcome we should seek.

But to address your underlying point, you cannot sacrifice everything for productivity, it's true, but giving up mandated collective bargaining — that puts existing employees at an enormous negotiating advantage over outside applicants, while severely limiting basic contract freedom — doesn't seem like it provides any obvious societal advantages, while it does clearly reduce productivity.

>A very easy thing to say, but unsupported by the facts. According to Wikipedia [1] the GDP per Capita for the USA is roughly double that of France ($80k vs $43k) but according to happiness index levels[2], France is at 97% the happiness of the USA.

A "happiness index" doesn't measure quality of life, and can be affected by far more than labor laws and per capita GDP.

There are of course outliers, but there is a strong correlation between per capita GDP and standard of living metrics like life expectancy:

Why is that, though? I'd think that there'd be some plugins/extensions for Grafana that could do this. Grafana could then become the next PowerBI/Tableau/Superset killer eventually.

I do agree that in a more fair world there shouldn't be billionaires, but at the same time it is curious that from all the stories posted on this website - where billionaires are making uncountable decisions that have a massive impact in our society - this is the only one where commenters would come to express their discomfort towards this fact of capitalism.
I'd even say build your system so as it can run on shared hosting. This way you even save the management.
Oh wow, I'm already hosting a small website with them and was thinking of hosting more. Definitely out of the question now, will move to Cloudflare.
By the time it isnt sustaninable I will have IPO'd and be the next offensive new money tech billionaire writing threads on twitter telling you the secret to success is the 5am grindset and everyone who isnt sinking 5mil into the next big thing (tm) can have fun staying poor.

"there is a lot of X" does not imply "X is increasing". That's what i am pointing out.
There is also a lot of COBOL code. It doesn't mean that COBOL code is increasing.
The Pyramides are huge and impressive. It doesn't mean that more pyramids are built.
Fair enough. Edited.

> you don't substantively respond to the core point

Yes, I do. Even if capital returns well in excess of growth on average, that doesn't change that the returns on assets in that excess regime are riskier than those below it. (This actually being formally provable by way of seniority.) Excess returns are never achived conservatively, let alone very conservatively.

Piketty's work has been seriously challenged. It makes good points. But it also contains bad ones, including a couple really sloppy and unsubstantiated assertions. His conflation of wealth and capital being germane to your argument.
The primary service of these starter accounts for single users is way different.

Quality of life has seen huge gains according to studies on the matter.
Every rental and service is so optimized against scammers and abusers that being a perfect legit customer ie. simply want to pay, use the resource, then return the item or terminate the service, you're walking along the edge of a cliff. Annexes, penalties, fees and charges, exclusions, "sign this one more form, everyone signs it". Housing rental is another extreme example, one is simply unable to just get a job in new location and rent something long term.
I agree that this is a weak argument. I think a stronger argument is simply to say: every year we see people start independent, bootstrapped businesses. There's no reason to believe the potential here has changed. The only way to include yourself in that set is to try, and never give up.

EDIT: I will say, it may be a powerful story for anybody experiencing self doubt. Different people need different kinds of motivation.
Can I buy it on CD to go with my boxed copy of The Age Of Kings?
What's a use-case for somethings like this?

I see this as something that might work well as a front window of a car as an extension for the main display, but not as much as a replacement for an actual computer monitor. Cool tech though.
I am a business user with netlify. I have unlimited functions calls on that plan (fair use of course!) and use their JWT protection that redirects to a login site at the cdn level, so you can rate limit. Not a solution for public static sites though! You are metered on the starter and pro plans after the starting limits.

They seem to have dropped that plan now.

I was starting to move back to traditional hosting as these platforms are convenient, but you do lose control and get hammered for their addon services and simple things like static ips are beyond them, even if you offer to pay.

Also, if their cdn is naughty listed, corporate networks may block your site as you are sharing pro and business plans with free sites that maybe serving malware etc.

Hearing this story has pushed me to move.

I hope they sort that for you, they really should have the ability to protect a site and let you choose what to do if you are exceeding your limits.
Waawh.

A settlement within 10 minutes (or if you wait for 6 blocks, one hour) of 1,34 billion dollars, for $2.04 should be some kind of record.

Also, the question what is the use case of Bitcoin? can still be answered with "It's internet-native money without counterparty risk that can be transported with the speed of light."
To prevent accidental data errors I "include lib/accounts.ledger" in every file, a list of all allowed accounts (see documentation for the format), and then add "--strict" to my .ledgerrc" file.

Reorganising an account to go in a different place is just a global search/replace across all ledger files. I would say a search/replace is easier than what you would have to do in a different accounting system, but it's also more dangerous. It's a good idea to have a bunch of asserts in place in addition to the --strict mode to make sure that "ledger balance" still produces sensible results when doing that.
Out of curiosity, how do you think Tableau compares to data mining tools like RapidMiner for EDA?

True, you could create a public option, subsidize it until achieves dominant network effects that makes the option the market standard, and then auction off the right to run it.
I'm also interested to know this. I have a couple of static sites running on the free tier for friends/family and now I'm planning on moving them all to a VPS as soon as I can.

It is beyond ridiculous that serverless providers don't offer a way to cap spending. The idea that it might cause your site to go offline is a complete non-argument. That what I _want_ to happen. I want to be able to say sure, I'm happy to sustain 10x traffic for a few hours, and maybe 3x sustained over days, but after that take it offline. I don't want infinitely scaling infra precisely because of the infinitely scaling costs.
Intentional harmful radiation, part 15. Why not just politely introduce yourself and talk to them about the problem?
That depends on what level of knowledge you are based on. The UX of AWS offers even leading experienced admins and developers some surprising stumbling blocks.
>How do you determine the threshold

I think most people will agree the threshold to be in the few millions. Some will argue for 5 and few for 50, but nobody can produce $1B of value. Take control of it, sure, but produce, no.
And if there's actual show where this experiment was done dozens of times, surely there's tons of data to confirm the correct approach here. Did anyone ever document all of that?

That's because amazon and big telecom convinced you that bandwidth is expensive. It isn't. Once the equipment is there, you might as well use it.
Kindle just added one. I find it annoying because I can't remember how to edit the single-panel mode once you get into it.
It's about putting an upper limit to the amount of resources a single person is allowed to amass and thus control.

We agree that we don't want a dictator. A single person with too much wealth can be almost as powerful, hence there are good arguments in favor of setting such limits.
The fact that calyx has both parallel as well as sequential blocks means that it is significantly ahead of most HLS languages. That is not a tiny difference, mind you. It is a gargantuan one.
I'm sympathetic to the goal of achieving affordable housing, but by this logic why would we let private companies run anything?

We do because private companies are often good at running things and usually their profit is small compared to the benefits they bring by being competent and professional. This is far from always the case, of course, but in my experience the renting market works well and I'm happy I don't have to deal with the hassle of owning an maintaining part of a building.
It shouldn't be like this, but it is.

Unfortunately, in today's world, DDoS protection is the equivalent of basic hygiene, foid and road safety. It's just a travesty that the hosting providers don't feel like it's their responsibility to address it.
As a cube you could do some star wars like display. Though i dont know what we would gain since it would be pretty rough compared to a rotational display.
> "Keep the service up no matter what happens, no matter the cost" is a useful business model

I mean, yeah - but that shouldn't be the default and it shouldn't be something that you can't opt out of if it is, which is what sounds like happened with Netlify.
So, go to a different provider?
I'd say that they do still make money of the game.

The reason both Diablo 3 and Diablo 4 has sold well is because of the legacy of Diablo 2.

Developing a great game is a surefire way of gaining a dedicated fanbase, which will carry your company a long time.

(A shame that Blizzard is pissing away all that goodwill though.)
That interesting since several YouTube creators I follow on Patreon (ok, so it's a self-selecting group) say the opposite. They've done sponsors a few times, but the sponsors are so much work to collaborate with (they take too long to approve videos, they want pointless changes done, etc) that they gave up on it and rely on Patreon instead where they can just create the videos they want to on their own schedule without interference.
So you'd be either slow or pay them "for protection". Something that reminds me of;)
Regular SaaS products also tend to suck hard due to the creators not actually using the product themselves.
Most of the things that made up the internet in 2014 were created in the second half of the internets lifespan at that point in time. Assuming that this trend continues, most of the things people will use in 2044 still have to be invented. You don't now what the new things will be. But looking back we notice that a lot of things came into our lifes recently.

We are so used to these big innovations that it feels like they have always been there.
I'm young, and talking about years like 1985 feels like talking about some other reality, but to me it still feels like the two years aren't comparable.

Whenever I read about the history of computers and software in the 80s, it feels like there are always mentions of relatively new companies foraging their path, new hardware manufacturers and software developers shaping the brand new home computer industry. Sure, there were some old giants on the playing field, but it almost sounds like anyone with a decent idea could carve out a space for themselves.

2014 though? There were a bunch of opportunities back then, obviously, but it was already deep into the megacorp consolidation era, when large software or web companies owned dozens of unrelated services and had secured an almost endless influx of cash. There were startups, and a few of them became extremely successful, but it feels like most of them were either doomed to fail or be bought out by a larger company. I feel like in this last decade, internet innovation had mostly slowed - the internet of 2004 was extremely different from the internet of 2014, yet 10 more years passed since then and it doesn't feel like as much has changed.

Maybe it's just my imaginary rose-tinted view of the past or something, but it feels like it's harder than ever for a startup to compete with the big players now. The only big exception I can think of is video games - self-publishing anything was probably almost impossible in the 80s, but nowadays we have an endless sea of development and publishing tools for independent developers with fresh new ideas.

Perhaps, there's a completely new field on the horizon that will level the playing field once more, putting everyone back at square one. I think that some industries could get squeezed dry until the next big innovation comes along, or people move onto some other new space.

It is a combination of bad planning and bad judgement that wouldn’t kill you in urban areas (where ambulance response time is below 10 minutes) but can get very dangerous in remote areas in no time. The couple has hopefully learned their lesson. They were very lucky.
Nope. It was obvious to me then, though not my coworkers. Microsoft had already done creditably against Oracle and IBM in come-from-behind situations. The press decided it was time to put Microsoft in its place.

Marc Andreesen said glibly that Windows was nothing more than a poorly debugged set of device drivers. The technical press parroted it without any follow-through. When Microsoft came out with Internet Explorer, new versions of Excel, Word, and IIS, I knew they would win. Because device drivers are hard, nobody wrote them better, and Windows was good enough for millions of customers.

I think Microsofties low-key regarded me as a bit dull, because they believed the media had no agenda. I simply looked at the (public) accomplishments of my much younger coworkers and trusted my own observations.

That is true, but I'd say that its no different when you're starting any new venture by yourself with the goal of being sustainable. The entertainment business is rough, but it's even harder to sell tangible goods/services and deal with customers, investors, accounting, inventory, shipping, and everybody expecting the perfect shit from you "bEcAuSe tHiS oThEr mEgAcORp dOeS iT". It comes full circle because ultimately you need eyeballs to sell your shit, and its awfully nice when you have creators with an audience, who they can convince to stand in line with an open wallet for the shiny widget that you made.

On the bright side for Unity almost all of that acquisition was financed using convertible notes from their VC investors which are almost worthless (I think > $300 share price) at 0%(!) interest. So their balance sheet isn’t that bad as a cursory look at it might imply.

Not GP, I tried to answer as friendly as possible. Their approach is even more weird given that Security goes really hand in hand with systems infrastructure In any small enough organization, security will be managed by devops/sre. If the org becomes large enough, it will start dedicating people to Security.
Other thing is that he was a devops engineer and a web developer. So one would think that maybe at least american ITs would care why one of "them" would self-immolate in a form of protest, or have a passing note of sympathy or at least recognition. But nope.

This doesn't sound as dire to me as the author makes it out to be.

I think it sounds totally reasonable that you need 20,000 or even 100,000 engaged followers to be able to make it full time off creating content. I don't see how, even with advertising or sponsors, a smaller number of followers could ever pay a livable salary (out of 20,000 people, how many of those mattresses are you really going to sell?).

It used to be that a TV show needed viewership numbers of millions of viewers to be profitable, this is still a massive democratization of content.
> Roman citizenship was considerably more flexible than other ancient empires, including people of many ethnicities, and was eventually extended to every free inhabitant in the empire

This practice predated the Empire by decades. In the Roman Republic following the Social War various peoples on the Italian peninsula, many of whom might never step foot in Rome, were granted citizenship [1]. Caesar himself gave Roman citizenship--all the way up to Senate membership--to Gallic aristocrats.

> If you require ISPs to hand over customer and connection performance data to the government you have government spying

What? No. At least in the case of DSL, the result of link training data is enough - it doesn't reveal anything about the actual person who has ordered a specific broadcast contract, all that the government gets to know is "phone connection X in building Y has usable upstream bandwith A and downstream bandwidth B".

Figma is a good product and being in the browser was a huge booster for its adoption but as a product, technically it could have existed 15 years ago as an installable program. With the same success? Probably not.

> Finalizers can likely be made safe enough if their code is more restricted; that would still allow many reasonable finalizers that calmly release external resources.

If a finalizer calls external code to release external resources (a not uncommon use case), there’s no way static data flow analysis can determine that external code doesn’t make a call back into the VM that revives objects, is there?
Exactly, I don't know why you are being downvoted. There is data that has better to be secret, even though it is funded by public money. No controversy in that.
