Apply this to everything not just your day job. People who know how to fix things that break, improve things like their house, fix their car, their neighbor's fence, etc tend to be more well rounded. Doing physical labor should be belo

This is a patently false statement from first principles. Anticompetitive behavior to keep a monopoly is illegal, but that is not the only case. Cartels, predatory pricing, and price fixing are all illegal with or without monopolies and are

Antitrust enforcers care about anticompetitive behavior not monopolies. They certainly should care about rent seeking behavior that Apple is engaged in. Saying something is or is not a monopoly is distracting from what actually matters. It&

There is some notation you must know (product, sum, set, etc) but the math is very straightforward, which makes sense, game theory in its most basic form is relatively straightforward logic that one can reason through with needing complex m

Yeah that is understandable, k8s is a platform with a plethora of capabilities. On the other hand, the vast majority of organizations using k8s have multiple users that have multiple work streams and multiple applications (not true by defin

We've gone full circle: 1. Pre-kub: orchestration is manual through AWS EC2 ui 2. Kub: orchestration is automated and configuration is treated as code (YAML, JSON, proto, whatever) and kept in revision control just like source code 3.

Yeah, this problem has a pretty obvious solution that is implemented by many teams: find a unit of work that we can measure success and failure over, report an aggregate metric over a specified time interval for availability tracking and pl

Hard to not view this as dead on arrival. The House won't take up any major legislation emanating from the White House/DOJ in an election year, especially given Barr's corruption as AG.

It is disappointing that Tesla uses much of its engineering prowess to design products that are inherently difficult for owners or small shops to modify, maintain, or repair. Taken directly from Apple's playbook.

Counterpoint: founding a startup and being financially secure isn't some inalienable right. As you point out, writing small checks will skew the population of founders, but by doing otherwise for the reasons you've brought up, you

I think this definition of abstraction is lazy. Abstraction is indeed hard to define precisely, but it may be more accurate to describe it as the process of implementing interfaces that are conceptually familiar to users, often through meta

That sounds like network latency, not an issue with switching audio sources.

This is an oversimplification of already simple market dynamics. What sets the market is the supply and demand. If demand drops sharply after an event like covid-19 and supply is held constant, prices will go down except in extremely distor

Last I checked almost all antitrust laws are enforced through civil cases.

Isn't settlement far more likely than losing all the way through appeals? And in what way is it straightforward? Does it not require a new interpretation of antitrust law? Google isn't using monopoly power to increase prices for c

You do realize that macOS isn't the only piece of software that Apple makes? So, specifically, Siri is definitely 3-5 years behind alexa/google assistant, I won't engage with someone who claims otherwise. iMessage is garbage

Why does that distinction matter? Is there language in campaign finance law that says news orgs are exempt from certain restrictions?

By that logic wouldn't Fox News be the subject of a campaign finance investigation?

All that and for the average consumer most of their software is 3-5 years behind everything else. The desktop experience is silky smooth 95% of the time and that’s the only thing keeping me there. That 5% is starting to become a problem for

This still doesn’t make sense. There are portable systems that do the same, and have fully managed options, such as kubernetes. In my mind the thing that makes lambda “easier” is they make a bunch of decisions for you, for better or worse.

The parallelism argument doesn’t pass muster because you can do the same thing with a cluster of free tier t2.micro machines with any good orchestration platform, not just lambda. This argument is basically: no counterpoint to the original
