Discussion of memes is always a little surreal for me, because I can never be quite sure what someone else means when they say the word. Probably because I encountered Dawkins' idea of a meme as a replicating unit of thought before "Internet Memes" existed. I start off assuming that others are using the term with my internal definition (i.e. correctly) but then encounter clues that they mean the internet-spread picture formats. However, there is rarely enough context to be certain which meaning is being used.

It makes me wonder how we communicate at all when no two people ever quite speak the same language. It also makes me a grammar nazi as I become aware of how important a uniform shared language is :)
My Athlon(tm) II X2 250 processor was released on Jun 2, 2009. It goes at 3 GHz. The 3 GB of memory comes from the same era. It is pretty much the only thing I ever do web stuff on. It is fast and I have no intention of replacing it any time soon.

What has happened is that maximum hardware performance has levelled off. Modern web design is slowly converging to a place where everyone needs maximum hardware performance everywhere.
Grain companies do this stuff, so it’s not unique to tech either.

AirBnB is such a great business. No significant competition for now among startups. Primary (initial) market is different from the incumbents (hotels) and it can gradually chip away from their market share too.

It also has better network-effect than say Uber (which has per-city network effect but no significant global network-effect) and less competition than latter. The "moat" is super strong and the leadership (Brian, Joe et al.) seem to be really good.

I'm so in awe of their prospect. My only misgiving is that they rejected my application (which proves no one's perfect after all - as they seem to also make hiring mistakes:P)

To the point I'm beta testing a canned explanation of why programmers aren't interested if you don't have funding raised.

https://www.git-pull.com/consulting/will-i-work-for-equity-o...

If you can't raise funding, or self-fund, what do you bring to the table at that stage other than talk?

The issue is, I already have ideas and a mile-long backlog. When I work by myself, I retain the intellectual property and can continue to expand and improve upon it.

I have the chance to be financially independent and have control of my own life, that is my goal. When you ask me to be your partner, you want me to take on responsibilities and give up my prized autonomy, and transfer all the byproduct to you.

What are you going to do to pull me away from potential revenue streams, remote work opportunities, my own startup, and so on?

There are people out there with bad ideas, no track record, that still manage to raise funds by being charismatic. How committed can a prospective co-founder be if they're not securing seed funding, getting family pitch in, self-funding, etc?

Yes, this has been around for years. It's just basic "smart home" stuff. Zwave/Zigbee devices are plentiful. If you don't want to do it yourself then you pay a company to come in and make your home "smart", they'll sell you everything from the controller to the remote to control everything.

80% of the comments in this entire thread are about the woes of connecting everything to the internet which is a fair concern but it's not like non internet connected equivalents haven't been available for decades.

So, given that people are against inequality, you fail to see why some billionaire's use of a $200000+ car as a useless paperweight is offensive ?

It's a huuuuuuuge "I'm richer and can do whatever and you're not" sign, that is being shoved into everyone's face on TV worldwide. Or at least, that's what it is if you're not a rich geek that can afford a car like that. If you have a normal wage and such a paperweight is out of your reach even if you save every penny you earn until you die, then it's just offensive.

It's really shocking to me that years later, nobody has addressed the most serious issue (community interaction) Dan brought up. Just reading the archived mailing list thread I could not believe the suspicion, and later outright hostility towards Dan's comments. It obviously dawned on a couple of core contributors, as can be seen by the sheepish attempts to walk things back, but this sort of interaction _with the project leadership_ is a giant red flag about how they view their community and users. If someone like Dan can be treated in that way publicly (and far worse privately, according to his own account), things are going to be so much worse for other people.

Windows 10 actually supports this feature, still can't get used to it though... win+tab -> switch between virtual desktops, or ctrl+win+left/right arrows.

Actually, you completely missed my point. The Windows dialogue is not only superior, because it allows power users to do what they need, but also because it's actually usable for regular users.

For example: I literally can't know how I can save a file using Gnome's dialogue in the general case, e.g. if the dialogue opens at /foo, and I navigate to /foo/bar using the dialogue, but then go back to /foo ("bar wasn't the right place after all"), I can't save the file there any more. "bar" will be selected. Clicking "Save" while a directory is selected will not save, but navigate instead. Now I'm in "bar" again. I go back to /foo and try to click something else, say a file. This changes the to-be-saved-file's name to the selection.

After I asked someone who uses Gnome as their main desktop they told me "that's easy: you just have to ctrl+click on the selected directory to de-select it, then you can save in the current directory".

That, my dear readers, is indeed unusable garbage.

I'm not sure the crash proves that "crypto people" have faith in the dollar. That assumes that "crypto people" selling caused the crash, and not the general public or larger investment firms. Without knowing how you define a "crypto person," I'll go out on a limb and say that I might be one of them. I've held crypto for a long time (years), and have only sold a small amount (my initial investment).

The fluctuation against the USD means little to me. For obvious reasons, the exchange rate means something to me, since I can't buy very many goods with Ethereum. I'm also not relying on crypto as a source of income, so the exchange rate doesn't matter much to me. I don't see crypto as a get rich quick scheme -- it's a fascinating technology with the potential to change the world. I want to be a part of that (just not too much of a part of it :D).

I believe if you look for primary sources like pilots and ground handlers/mechanics you'll mostly find reference to small leaks (I think they were referred to as drips caught in cookie trays).

I had a quick search and found the KC135 chap who says the refuelling was needed due to leaks, but without being rude to him I'm not sure he's really a qualified source for that information. It sounds more to me like 2+2=5.

I'm procrastinating so lets do some napkin maths, the claim is

1) a significant amount of fuel is leaking out of the expansion gaps,

2) climbing up to 25,000 ft at 300 knots would heat the airframe enough to seal those gaps,

3) there would still be sufficient expansion room to allow for travelling at M3.2

----

Ignoring that no engineer would be happy with 1.

For 2...Total Air Temp = Static Air Temp + Ram Rise. At 25,000 ft the static air temperature is about -35 C.
Ram rise for a true airspeed of 300 kts:

RamRise = V^2 / 87^2 = 300^2 / 87^2 = 12 degrees.

So skin temperature at typical refuelling altitude would be -23 C

Titanium has an expansion coefficient of 9E-69 meters per meter-kelvin. So approximating rather grossly, assuming a s tarting temperature of 20 C over the 33 m length of the plane there would be a contraction of about 1 cm.

----

And for 3:

The aircraft then accelerates up to 1900 knots.
RamRise = 1900^2 / 87^2 = 470 degrees

Static air temp at over 60000 ft is roughly -55 C. So skin temperature would be 420 C. So assuming the same length and starting temp, the plane would expand by around 11 cm

----

So to summarise: According to the claims, at ground level and temperature the expansion gaps were large enough to significantly leak fuel. After take-off the aircraft needs to be refuelled immediately. Assuming this is done so (i.e. take-off, climb to 20,000, refuel) then the skin temperature is lower than ground level, and the expansion gaps should have grown ever so slightly. The aircraft then climbs up to its M3.2 cruise point and everything expands significantly "as designed" and the gaps disappear.

----

Perhaps the anecdote we'll see on the internet now is that the SR-71 had to take off and go supersonic to rapidly heat up the skin before briefly decelerating to refuel, but the refuel had to be done super fast to stop the skin cooling down too far...
So basically the study has eliminated discrimination in its assessment of Uber's payouts to drivers. If people work less hours and drive slower therefore decreasing their average trips per day, then they would of course generate less profit for themselves.

Well that is super common in language, that the most common "sub-genre" of a word takes over the word itself, e.g. "pervert" now mostly meaning sexual pervert, chauvinist meaning male chauvinist, etc. As I understand it people on the autism spectrum are extra troubled by this. Although admittedly I'm also annoyed when people call these images memes even when they have not been virally spread.
Drop-Down Menus: Tips and Tricks – Part 3
The privacy thing is a little overblown by people that don't understand the technology.

Google Home, Amazon Echo, and all others do the same thing, they are continuously "listening" but only within the device itself. Audio is looped through an on-device audio processor which looks for the wake-word. If the wake-word is found that audio is sent to the cloud, but otherwise it just loops back over itself wiping out the previous audio sample. This can be easily verified with network monitoring or by reading about e.g. Qualcomm's Smart Audio Platform or competitors.

The next major privacy objection is typically "what if it gets hacked?!" Which, while impossible to address, ignores the smart elephant in your pocket. Which too has an always on speaker accessible to baseband as well as the primary OS.

I'd rather gather them from the asteroid belt if possible so we could stop/limit the terrible effects of mining on the environment on earth. Also if we can setup manufacturing and fuel creation in space it would let us build larger and go farther because we wouldn't have to lift the pieces up out of our gravity well and atmosphere. At the very least we could build the bodies of spacecraft and fuel them in space and just lift harder to build stuff like electronics from Earth.
