Do you realise that CEOs don't all start at a company from day 1 and instead get hired and immediately have a huge salary?

According to Wikipedia:

As of 2024, Huang has been Nvidia's chief executive for over three decades, a tenure described by The Wall Street Journal as "almost unheard of in fast-moving Silicon Valley".[14] He owns 3.6% of Nvidia's stock, which went public in 1999.[5] He earned US$24.6 million as CEO in 2007, ranking him as the 61st highest paid U.S. CEO by Forbes.[5]

Well you‘re free to quote me on that. I haven‘t been saying this at all.

No, you’re arguing for falsehoods. Posters here are stating that things that are covered aren‘t and that people on Bürgergeld live in abhorrent poverty, which is demonstrably untrue.

> You also said this lack of incentive to work is causing inflation, which I'm also arguing against.

I haven‘t. Again, please do quote me.

No, the topic was that you (among others) think people on Bürgergeld starve, are in dire need of heating and live in depressed states for lack of funding. These are lies. You‘re lying. I’ve no idea why.

Um, what? The point of a company is to make profit for its investors, and making a useful product for the customer is only a byproduct of doing that. This is why corporations are making record profits, instead of investing it all into R&D or rainy day funds.

Just to add another angle to this: of course you can have CS classes and all that good stuff, but would the businesses only employ these kind of graduates? Or would they spread even thinner to grab market share or increase profits and hire non-experts as a result, for which "easy" and intuitive tools have to be developed and employed? I mean, I see this problem with abstraction, maths, compilers, Lisp, etc, you know, the fundamental stuff. That is, the deeper you go it will become that much harder to find people willing or able to dive deep. So eventually you run out of manpower and that what? Use these "intuitive" tools, probably.
It just doesn't work though mathematically. If you take my home country of Canada, giving 40k a year to every person 18 and over would cost around 1.3 trillion (assuming a modest 3% admin cost) vs a current federal budget of around 400 billion, with the provinces it's likely around 1 trillion. SO just to fund a ubi that would not be very comfortable for anyone to live on, especially with a family, would require raising 30 % more revenue. This does not account for the large percentage of the budget that is just not cheaper to provide privately through individuals paying from their ubi (i.e. military, healthcare, policing, transport, protection of public forests, regulation of food and drugs, education). even if you cut all levels of government spending to the bone leaving only the stuff it makes complete sense to provide communally, you are left with maybe 300 billion (but likely much lower because I haven't analyzed the cost of promised retirement benefits at all), which is roughly 9k per year per over 18 person, which isn't enough to come anywhere near the numbers supporters of UBI want. That means much higher taxes but our taxes are already insane and so will likely not extract that kind of money from the populace, especially when they are being incentivized not to work with a 9k check each year, most of us will tell the government to pound sand and just cut our work hours.
No. There are economies of scale that synergize too well with capitalist monopolies. Even the internet itself, originally peer to peer, is largely taken over by a few gigacorps. There's a strong network effect to most of these things and users prefer one big place to go rather than a loose federation of a thousand small ones.

> Having a backup device lets you verify your identity more easily if your main device is stolen. It's not to add additional security, but additional recoverability.

Security includes recoverability.

And note that added recoverability can subtract net security. Attackers often use recovery options to break-in. Before enabling recovery via phone, I'd want much more certainty about the phone security than I know how to get.
A former company I worked at made a TON of money by providing radio over the internet, and Alexa was one of our big money makers.

We had a partnership with Amazon to be THE radio provider.

...Then Amazon released their own internal version of our product and kicked us off of keywords.

Our revenue tanked due to this, and I ended up getting laid off. Because Amazon saw an opportunity and betrayed their partner.

Get bent amazon!

Why would anyone ever integrate with Alexa if they are just going to steal the idea?

The trouble with using this convention (which I also like) in Python code is that sooner or later one wants to name a pair of lists 'as' and 'bs', which then causes a syntax error because 'as' is a keyword in Python. There is a similar problem with 'is' and 'js'.

seen and heard, my original point was that typescript is not poised to be a tc39 standard.

this is still a “runs some typescript” and “not runs every typescript file”

“ At least initially in this PR no trasformation is performed, meaning that using Enum, namespaces etc... will not be possible.”

this type of nuance is the core of why typescript is a headache for any organization with more than a single codebase— javascript is portable, typescript is in theory, but not in observed practice.

Then what you have, at the end, is just an additional entire department devoted to a welfare program, feeding from the same pool of funds that all the existing welfare schemes are using.

I mean, using "reduce" to mean "lower existing welfare payouts (not costs) by enough to allow UBI welfare" is very different to how UBI proposals normally mean "reduce".

There is a need for something, but UBI as it is currently being proposed by world+dog is not that thing.

I think your argument might be the first one that I've seen that doesn't use "reduce" to mean "almost eliminate".

You fall off the radio masts if you're not strong. Mind you there's no real need to go to a gym and lift weights if you climb radio masts.

You can't clear landing strips in remote areas and refuel geophysical survey craft there if you're not fit enough to wield a broad hoe and hand pump a 44 gallon. Of course if you do that enough why lift weights?

It's hard tagging sheep and cattle if you have poor stamina. If you work stock yards routinely you need to be able to clap your hands and too much gym time can limit that.

The State of Background Jobs in 2019

Everyone is certainly interested in the long term health of the company. But exogenous shifts like technological change, trade, COVID, etc. might cause the company to go under - or maybe you're just outnumbered by people who make poor decisions.

If this happens, people who have worked at the company for 15 years and have most of their "retirement" in the form of ESOP shares will a) lose their jobs and b) lose most of their retirement savings. On the same day.

Libertarians sometimes fantasize about how if we didn't have the FDA, people would be incentivized to do their own research on food and drug safety. Sure, sometimes dumb people would get it wrong and kill themselves! But that's just the price we (well, they) need to pay for everyone to have good incentives. This seems like the same category.

If that non-insignificant chunk of people who have gambling/alcohol/sex/drug addictions blow their entire income on the first day of the month on slots/booze/prostitutes/drugs, any funds you set aside for them means that what you have is UBI + existing welfare, not UBI instead of existing welfare.

Apple has nothing to replace it with. It's hard to imagine Apple adding reviews and trying to police that — policing their own App Store reviews seems to give the trouble (but perhaps is not a solvable problem).
Yes, the absolute deluge of options for price and shipping speed is one of my chief concerns as well, even outside of voice based orders. This plagues the web interface as well, requiring you to either try and refine via search options (not always available!) or basically doom scrolling. Even a simple sort option, like Ebay has had for years on price v distance, would be a welcome change.

But it seems that, much like Google search and the glut of questionable sites gaming the system via SEO, I think Amazon too will always be fighting against sellers clamoring to be 'above the fold' of results.
Honestly, I think this is a good thing. It has always been a bit of an annoyance to me when I have to fly southwest that my ability to get a decent seat comes down to a combination of how quickly I check in and if I want to pay them money to move into a better boarding group. It ends up as an additional source of stress that adds to an already annoyingly stressful process, whereas with every other usual domestic airline, you can pick your seat when getting the ticket, and you won't have to worry about where you end up stuck sitting.

Java has type inference. Also if a type alias is just a new name for a existing type, then you can always do something like

class MyNewClass extends OldClass {};

(of course it's not just a new name, it's also a new class, but it's also still a OldClass, and you are out of luck if OldClass is final or sealed)

Java also has interfaces, of course. And optional properties (using Optional) and strict null checks, when you want that, you can use it.

I would imagine it is great for video evidence prior to officers with body-cameras arriving on scene. This footage may be useful in court. I could see utility in this for people calling 911 from under their bed or in a closet when there is an intruder in the house. It's probably also a good way to get a picture of an attacker that flees prior to officers arriving so they have an image rather than the RP's potentially sub-optimal description.

Small towns sometimes have law enforcement officers as dispatchers but I could see your point in big cities where dispatchers are less suited to see violence. On the other hand perhaps this may expedite a response when it's appropriate to do so. seeing it with their own eyes...

Despite the correction, I still expect to see (perhaps only slight or niche) skills with their corresponding mental attributes which great apes and extinct hominids possess(ed) which outweigh our own

An example which springs to mind is the utterly absurd physical traits and likely corresponding hand-eye coordination Homo naledi possessed in order to perform their burial rituals

It took world-class climbers risking their lives to even reach the burial chamber, let alone do it repeatedly without modern climbing gear or even light

Despite their size and build being advantageous, I do not see how their mental attributes wouldn’t be more conducive to related skills than even trained (but tool-less) Homo sapiens

As someone who used to take two WN flights a week, I dislike these changes, and I predict they won’t last, if they ever take effect at all.

The CEO’s “research” appears shambolic and dumbs down what engenders such loyalty to Southwest. Next thing you’ll know they’ll add 777’s, ERJ’s, and A320’s to the bestiary, because it’s also what the other airlines do. Southwest became the leader because they led and went their own way instead of followed.

At the end of the day, 90% of Southwest fliers choose Southwest because of price and availability. Embiggening the boarding process with boarding zones won’t sell more seats, particularly middle seats.

The 10% of business travelers who choose Southwest crave its no-fuss “Greyhound of the skies” approach, and these will be the most turned off.

CEO pay is like telling your driver to redline the engine all he wants. He’ll outperform the competition (with significant personal upside) until he blows the engine (and gets replaced a few years later, having earned billions).

Here's the genius behind Apple's marketing: when they say "privacy" they (mostly) don't mean from them! They are mainly talking about third parties. Apple collects a ton of first-party data, and nobody seems to be concerned about that. I also the pond Apple swims in (big tech) is so disgusting and polluted that even their minor effort at cleanliness seems pretty good.

I've been working as a product designer for the last 10 years, but for a few years before that I was a software engineer. I've been interested in moving back towards the technical side of things. It seems that role, and what is described in this article, would often be called a "design engineer".

However, I don't quite understand what the role of a design engineer is. If a PM is the "what", design is the "how", and eng is the implementation. Where would a design engineer fall? I'm sure it is very much a spectrum, but I'd be interested in hearing from some folks who have filled this role.

Are you focused on the "how", but using code to achieve that? Are you focus on the "how" and it simply turns into the implementation? Are you focused on the implementation, but with the background and skills of a designer?

> Why the hell receiver of a message gets to dispatch the implementation at very late moment? Why not context?

Well, then it is the context who is the actual receiver, isn't it? Since in this scenario the object may never even receive the message since the context has already processed it on its own, so calling it a "receiver" would be incorrect.

> a composite object of an int and a float receive message „add“ - who decides which implementation to use

The composite object itself, who else? It can do anything, including doing nothing, or not using any of their implementations, or dividing its int by its float, etc.
