I don’t support this as, excepting in medical and large infra where common languages improve important outcomes, API interoperability of consumer bullshit is an arbitrary goal.
We keep legislating pointless high level goals.
I’d rather legislate high level goals like M4A, free education.
I refuse to put political agency into logistical normalization for big business who can afford to do it themselves.
And I don’t believe forcing social norms on humans is acceptable in general. Indeed, I think it’s a truism our biology will always resist.
This is bill is too narrowly scoped to web technologists concerns. After 20+ years in software, I’ve learned technologists are no more important to any big picture as anyone else.
Air travel and medical science did this on their own. There’s no reason private enterprise of dubious value to society need governments mandates for trading gifs.
It’s electrons in a circuit already. There’s your generic interface.
Given recent economic success and shallow human egos, software people have slid into a dopamine fueled circular mirage, decoupled from reality.
But why not partake in a massive real engineering project? It’s not like the environment cares! It’s just there.
Again, we already have solutions.
What happened to tech people’s DRY and KISS, don’t be clever, mantras?
Legislative capture is the engineering problem. Forcing Machiavellian machinery on society seems to be the only answer our dimwitted hierarchy can ever come up with.
It’s Jesus! Obviously it’s capital trade! Obviously it’s statistical!
Never, obviously it’s just people and I’m merely one of them.
How much longer is the aristocracy (including this scene since it’s wealthier than most and leverages that to export its expectations on others) expecting billions facing environmental collapse to nod and smile for a bunch of “godheaded” normies?
You all are LARPing nonsense in a very subtle way. Contorted language and made up objects conjured by clearly senile, puerile, selfish, ignorant leaders.
Controlling governments directly is the only real solution to any problem you bring up due to the never ending issue of legislative capture.
For a forum of supposedly bright, clever minds, repetitively iterating on the edge of what societies leaders “allow” seems self defeating and lazy.
If the result of all this work for a mercantile scoreboard exacerbates a real problem, technical engineering is a non-solution.
You all are risking your future by putting the next generation in a even more precarious position.
Ageism & guilt by association to our contemporary economic agency is going to bite the grown ups of today in their twilight years.
Look how indifferent we are about cohorts that statistically fall off our radar.
What the hell are they going to care about a bunch of gerontocrats who make up a smaller percent of the population than the 20-30yos and their young?
Obviously the environmental concerns for them are not there in you, tacitly supporting this.
And I am doing my part to make this happen by explaining this to kids, my own and others; when we’re old, shovel us into the bay. We’ll have earned for being the first form of society to leave behind such a mess.
The subtle underlying problem is all the people out there curating cogent arguments about the problem on social media, meaning countless hours spent avoiding the legwork.
Hi HN. Hi Reddit. Hi Facebook. Hi tech workers who have to constantly re-invent the wheel.
I’m sick of “both sides” and every one in between projecting and deflecting.
You all want to look at the problem in society, look in the mirror, cause you’re a part of it too. Say and do other things rather than demand other people do and say other things.
American people and politicians are on the same page: nothing is my fault, and it’s only my problem if I get paid for fixing it.
The problem of data confusion you describe is resolved by replacing management. That’s not an engineering issue that requires new technology (consider the source of social power for author; selling technology).
That’s an engineering issue that needs new engineering management who don’t enable wasting company resources making incompatible APIs in the first place.
We already did the monolithic DB design, I used to name those hosts “ocean”. And we already know the math. “Data lake” is just more jargon by a salesman to obfuscate peddling the same old abstraction, and wow fresh grads with new words for hyping the same old habits.
While not the author of this piece, Bezos is quoted as pointing out how circular social behavior is.
What do you think the odds of this author being on a similar page?
Have humans evolved much in 100 years? Or does the con simply get rewritten for the next generation to hide a simple truth?
What’s keeping people going in this circle isn’t logistical necessity. It’s us.
We keep legislating pointless high level goals.
