Centurylink, like most legacy bell LEC providers are simply bureaucratic more than they are technical or support driven, and certainly this happens at them. It's why when these happen, they are almost comically absurd as no one even knows what to do usually, or silo'd to the point they can do nothing to cut red tape.

A few months ago, my Centrylink DSL router started rebooting every night at right around 3am, like at 3:06, 3:26, etc, but not before or after 3 and 3:30am, far too regular for it to be a real outage. Being a network engineer by trade (and having worked for several cable isp's), this told me provisioning was doing something, but why out of nowhere?

Calling CL twice and talking to clueless monkeys got me nowhere or hung-up on getting transferred around, until finally randomly I got a competent support human that listened to my logic, agreed it was probably a provisioning thing, and dug until he found out it truly was a provisioning thing, that my modem somehow was missing some attributes that was causing it to be reprovisioned nightly (at 3am when those jobs kick off, go figure).

Most would probably assume it's a "bad connection" or something, and at 3am when asleep probably not even notice in perpetuity, but this is the sort of thing you have to expect when dealing with a telco/lec provider. Being my job and hobby, I run a network monitoring at my house that would alert me to such things with timestamps as proof, but how many else would notice to correlate events themselves?
It's one thing to say Tesla has been successful. It's quite another thing to say that Tesla's success justifies a market capitalization that is not only the highest in the auto industry, but is greater than the combined market capitalization of the second through fifth automakers.

Despite being the 11th biggest by revenue.

It's true that high-end carmakers seem to get a lot of goodwill valuation simply for being high-end carmakers. But normally not that much.

How far in advance is it worth looking at any macro economic trends?
I think you can automatically discount any article looking 10 years or more out, they have neither the incentive nor the talent to make any reasonable prediction.
On top of that, the timeless aspects of the world and human nature aren't news worthy - so anything remotely predictable doesn't get said.
I largely agree with your sentiment. Go’s simplicity is what makes it such a useful tool for me. It’s worth protecting, and that means setting a very high bar for proposals that add new things to the language.

However, 2 things I would be enthusiastic about if it got included in the language:
- having ‘?’ As syntactic sugar for ‘if(err != nil) …’. Would make code more easily readable, and I think that is a benefit for programmers trying to keep things simple.
- Sum Types. I’ve had a few cases where this would’ve been very useful. I consider the ‘var state customtype = iota’ a bit too easy to make mistakes with (eg exhaustive checking of options).

Like generics, I hope that when that happens, they take a very deliberate approach on doing it.

Read the wikipedia link and it seems there are credible explanations for what is going on:

> "With unsterilized Terrestrial samples, though, the addition of more nutrients after the initial incubation would then produce still more radioactive gas as the dormant bacteria sprang into action to consume the new dose of food. This was not true of the Martian soil; on Mars, the second and third nutrient injections did not produce any further release of labeled gas."

> "Albet Yen of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory has shown that, under extremely cold and dry conditions and in a carbon dioxide atmosphere, ultraviolet light (remember: Mars lacks an ozone layer, so the surface is bathed in ultraviolet) can cause carbon dioxide to react with soils to produce various oxidizers, including highly reactive superoxides (salts containing O2−). When mixed with small organic molecules, superoxidizers readily oxidize them to carbon dioxide, which may account for the LR result. Superoxide chemistry can also account for the puzzling results seen when more nutrients were added to the soil in the LR experiment; because life multiplies, the amount of gas should have increased when a second or third batch of nutrients was added, but if the effect was due to a chemical being consumed in the first reaction, no new gas would be expected. Lastly, many superoxides are relatively unstable and are destroyed at elevated temperatures, also accounting for the "sterilization" seen in the LR experiment."

Indeed. An interesting reference to this is the work Millman Parry did to describe the key phrases in the Odyssey and the queues they gave to help someone memorize the poem.

Also, this is maybe a semantic point, but, I am not predicting any words I speak. Not in a statistical sense. I have intent behind my words, which means I have an abstraction of meaning that I want to convey and I assemble the correct words to do that. no part of that is "predictive"
While micro plastics are a problem climate change is the train coming down the tracks at civilization as a whole.

No because that isn't the only factor that goes into deciding to take a grant or not. Some grants may be financially beneficial, but impact operations in a way that causes negative impact to the way the business is conducted.
It's often based on your ability to capture other people's value way more than creating value on your own.

> SV was very lax with this in the past. They just adjusted to how it is normally handled in corporate.

What's remarkable is that SV allowed protests against US, china, russia, anyone really. But protest against israeli war crimes is where they drew the line.

SV, media, congress, everyone supported violent protests that burned down cities. But peaceful protests in college campuses against israeli genocide is where they send in the storm troopers.

In china, they send in the storm troopers if you protest communist rule. It's interesting what we send the storm troopers for. Food for thought.

I can understand all of that, empathize with it, and still believe it's a massive stress to claim it's "[literally] slavery" when its more related or connected to the history of slavery.

That's what I mean by rhetorical device.

It's 2024. We need an effective means for error propagation and the battle-tested solutions are try/catch exceptions or Optional types. Go's error handling would have been great in the 1970's, it's not so great now some 50 years later.

> Where do you pull out that profit margin.

From the link I provided.

> The efficiency is for the shareholders.

It's probably worth pointing out that some of the largest American insurance companies are mutuals. They don't have shareholders, or profits. Admittedly this is rarer in health insurance than some other kinds, but State Farm, for example, does a huge health insurance business and sends its excess revenue, if any, back to its policyholder-owners as dividends.

Insurance companies that do make profits do much better than 0.7%, but then imagine how much worse that means doctors and hospitals are doing in order to drive the average down that far. And this was originally about hospital bills. Americans with insurance don't typically get bills from the insurance company, just statements of what they aren't going to pay.

> The healthcare sector does vertical integration

Here you have a point. American antitrust hasn't been good for some time, and tends to be less effective on vertical than horizontal integration. Nevertheless, while I can't immediately find a number on what percentage of American providers are owned by insurance companies, I'm pretty confident it isn't high.
> I don't think that's a valid comparison:

Netflix not only had technology no one else had (at that time), but an innovative business model that hinted that it might provide something to its customers that no one else had ever offered to anyone outside of science fiction: the world's entire video library, on demand.

Instead though, we get the equivalent of a thousand channels of cable tv, all paid for individually, all overpriced, all artificially restricted. You get that right, Netflix takes shows off its catalog because the contracts ran out, but when CBS+ or whatever it's called now takes shows off its roster, they're just doing it to be assholes.

Compare this to Starlink's promise. Tens of thousands of low orbit satellites, providing cheap, low latency, high speed data anywhere on Earth. Tom Hanks wakes up on the uninhabited sandbar in the middle of the Pacific, takes his cellphone out of the ziplock plastic bag, calls his girlfriend and tells her "get me the fuck out of here". The End.

They might yet hold onto it, you can hardly do even a half-assed Starliink without SpaceX's launch capability. But what we might have in 10 years scares me. Incomplete constellations because they're squabbling over orbital slots, monopolies and carve-outs through politics, Verizon refusing to let the iPhones it sells to customers access Starlink, instead locking it to Bezos' own Blue Dildo satellite network.

It's just not the sort of competition people envision, I think, when they're imagining how competition lowers prices and raises quality. It's just big corporations sabotaging their rivals (and the rivals' customers) through meddling and politics.

Exactly, panspermia isn't an answer, it's kicking the can down the road.

It wasn't anything like WSL. WSL runs Linux programs under a different kernel by replicating the syscall interface. This was basically a bootloader (loadlin) and a filesystem driver (umsdos). This was a very different world because DOS was hardly an operating system at all, it was just this tiny thing that installed itself into some interrupt handlers right after BIOS. Loadlin could take over and load a full linux kernel, no different from how grub works today (or LILO before that).

I just wish the 4 billion we subsidize EVs with every year here in Norway were put to other use instead. Could habe built a new metro line every year for that amount of money. Which would have had a much larger long term effect.
A lot of local news websites try to avoid GDPR regulations by trying to geo-block EU users. I imagine that's what happened here. They probably have their CDN set to issue "access denied" to any non-US users.
Pricing is just out of whack regardless. Definitely a need for these tools but community adoption is pretty important.

I would argue that .NET is better than Java, unless Java has gotten something like Linq since last I used it (which is entirely) possible.

For those who do not know: .NET is cross platform, MS has official documentation on how to deploy it in Docker, and it is MIT licensed.

And if you want to deploy a backend for your webapp the tersenes can now rival Flask - plus the compiler can cross compile it to any supported platform, even in a form that works without .NET installed.

And of course it has Jetbrains support through Rider.

I've been using it for a year for my open source projects before I had a Figma license for contract work. I'd say it's VERY capable, performance can be iffy with enormously big files, but generally on-par with Figma. Their workflow is closer to webdev, so handover to devs is easier, but they lack some of the neat component magic of Figma (last time I've seen they don't have component changes for hover/click states for example).

That being said, it's FOSS, anyone can help, they will never have a rugpull like almost getting bought by Adobe.
I'm not particularly a fan of Musk, but I would perceive switching contracts from Starlink to this consortium as likely political influence in what should be an apolitical process.

Similar to what has been happening recently with the FCC's rural broadband program - where Starlink, in my view, is likely being punished by the government for Musk's outspokenness.

One of the biggest environmental impacts is driving, so the real key is to have mixed uses near by.

If you have a family and still need to drive your kids to school everyday, because schools are too far away to walk and there's no bus (typical in California), if you need to drive to go to the grocery store, if you need to drive to do everything in your life, then working from home in a less dense area might still involve a very similar amount of driving.

Once vehicle miles travelled is subtracted out, the biggest impact from living in less dense areas is deforestation, reduction of large fauna in ecosystems, etc. A classic example of that is the Santa Cruz Mountains, highly populated by low-density living, but getting in and out is so arduous that most people do not commute much, or even leave their houses for much. A good life for hermits, but it's not for everyone.
Nobody should work for free, especially not for the wealthiest companies in the world.
