☕ David Antoine Swedish fintech Klarna CEO says its AI assistant does the work of 700 people after it laid off 700 people two years prior... Is this the start of a new golden era for capitalism and an even more unhinged version of it? How much poverty can be created at the behest of capital owners before the remaining workforce, and the purchasing power attached to it, become reduced enough to impact the bottom line their corporations? I don't know... Not every country as a trillion euros sovereign-wealth fund to chill for the future, like Norway. tinyurl.com/nha9vmyn

Zero Edge I've never liked the whole "monkeys on a typewriter" thing because technically it isn't true. An infinite amount of monkeys given an infinite amount of time would never write Shakespeare because no matter what, a monkey cannot type in perfect randomness, meaning no matter how many or how long it would never type Shakespeare. If you made a device and trained a monkey to type perfectly random.. yeah, sure.

Zero Edge Does "tech debt" exist if the development cycle has a clear ending? Seems like tech debt is only relevant when you plan on updating a system indefinitely.

Samuel M-squire I like the idea of this community. The problem with content is that few people are willing to pay for good quality, well researched, tech news, so I pay for medium and use Hacker news and then spend some time on lobsters occasionally. I would like to read tech blogs, so if you have any recommendations, I would appreciate them.

🦿 Lucian Marin I'm using a Python stack: Falcon as web framework, Django for ORM, PostgreSQL, PgBouncer to keep DB connections hot, Gunicorn for async and multithreading HTTP requests, sockets for connections between each stack component to reduce latency. I pay vultr.com/?ref=894... for a high frequency Intel server to reduce latency even further.

Martijn My VPN decided to die on me. Not even hitting 1 Mbps. This is definitely not what I'm paying them for.
Fred Richards These days there are a ton of different options. I really like tailscale, or zerotier. Tailscale uses wireguard, some very interesting technology.

👨‍💻 Matthieu V. Just read a great article on the science to be better at writing, in the context of software engineers, it really highlighted to me that I do not write as much as I should.

🏀 Pr trying out subreply again: Hashicorp IPO'ed today. I do like a lot of their tools and services, but I feel like it's a sign that building software has become a bit too complicated to necessitate all these tools to scale tech services. Does hashicorp's (et. al competitors) services really save organizations large enough to utilize them enough headcount to justify the hefty price?

🦿 Lucian Marin Firefox brand is weak, it's associated with IE era and it's dropping market share like crazy. Mozilla brand got a nice refresh, it's trusted, it's associated with privacy and they got new good products that need to carry Mozilla brand. It should be Mozilla Suite for a new internet age: Mozilla Browser, Mozilla VPN, Mozilla Monitor and so on. This way the browser will be their main product, it will have internal focus and probably gain back the market share.
🦇 Arr Since 50 % of users don't know what a browser is, let's call it Mozilla Internet. The last rename of Firefox is now Firefox "Quantum" was cited on tech pages a lot, though.

Zero Edge Simple logic: A vaccinated person is less likely to feel symptoms of Covid. Means they are more likely to go out and interact with the world while they are infectious to others. Means that a vaccinated person may actually spread the disease more than unvaccinated. Because the unvaccinated: Get sick -> know they are sick -> physically cannot or will not interact with the world because they are sick.
☕ David Antoine Seems logic yes. Problem is also the tech used by those vaccines. They should have gone inactivated virus type. That's the best way to have a strong immunity response and not allow the virus to enter cells even if it mutates on specific surface sites to try to enter. Vaccines are supposed to prohibit replication, right? If not, then they are just a high tech "emergency" drug. One who will let Pfizer alone rack up $35 billions this year...

☕ David Antoine I'm always thinking that the ultimate goal of corporations and their active lobbying is to one day get rid of governments and make their own rules to control the world without oversight. Which is the road to dystopia imho. Well, maybe that is the start of it : techregister.co.uk...

🦿 Lucian Marin Every year before WWDC I want to create a web based IRC. A few years ago I made Superthread. Recently I was thinking about a Craigslist with LinkedIn features. I got Maxmoil name reserved. Should I code this?
😀 Tom I'm not all that technical, but I don't see what the benefit of a Craigslist/LinkedIn hybrid would be.
