That's a massive bending of the truth. It was said as a private response to a journalist asking him for comment, and clearly in jest.

> The truth, as always, is the opposite of what the media tells you. I sent a troll about “vigilante death squads” as a private response to a few hostile journalists who were asking me for comment, basically as a way of saying, “Fuck off.” They then published it. Amazed they were pretending to take my joke as a “threat,” I reposted these stories on Instagram to mock them — and to make it clear that I wasn’t being serious.

That’s an impressive price, do you know anyone who’s done it? I’d be interested in knowing what the experience was like.

Illumina appear to be targeting 100USD right now. I think their markup on reagents is probably at least x10...

But even that’s super expensive compared to reading data from a HD... so you have to wonder where DNA as storage is viable. Unless a vastly cheaper read method becomes available.

> The machine architecture, whatever that may be now or in the future, should be secondary. Personally, I would never have called it "Web Assembly" either.

It wouldn't be that surprising if in the future we have dedicated processing units for Web Assembly. And I think that's what they're aiming at.

Just like Java had a few computers with processing units dedicated to accelerating Java bytecode. But on a much larger scale.
The only thing that needs a tiny bit of work is how the website works on mobile devices. The voting arrows and collapse [-] links are too small for fat fingers, and the top menu could also do with increasing in size. No need for some mystery meat burger menu, just increase the text size of the menu item, size and padding(?) of the arrows and the collapse links when on narrow viewports.

I know then tent is getting a lot of criticism from the public but it is a smart move. The tent gives extra space to add more individual steps to the assembly line and humans are best suited for tasks that are rapidly changing.

I think someone finally realized that you can have as many steps in the assembly line as you want so long as no single step exceeds your quota divided by the time per day. (i.e. need to make 1000 cars per day, no single step in your production process can last longer than 86.4 seconds; but you can have as many steps as you want) In order to make 5,000 cars a week you need to keep your slowest step in your manufacturing process to around 2 minutes. This should be doable.

It costs money.

Your transactions are tip of the iceberg compared to the mass of regulatory requirements banks have to fulfill for each customer. You can learn about some of that by Googling down the “KYC” (“know your customer”) rabbit hole.

Banks make money on putting deposits to work and on transactions.

To cover costs of having to maintain regulatory compliance regarding account holders, there’s a minimum amount of deposits needed before interest off putting parked money to work pays enough, or minimum number of transactions before transaction fees pay enough.

So, you get minimum deposits requirements, or inactive account fees.
I have a similar thought experiment (or Sci-Fi plot?) for a long time.

If an advanced alien civilization came to Earth, and helped ancient human civilizations to built and operate a computer system, which can share, store and translate scientific discoveries all across the globe (while they are not allowed to help humans besides operating the system) throughout 5000 years of history - how could it change the human history?

Good point about 3D, I forgot about it. Makes sense; I remember looking at how DNA is packed within a cell in "The Machinery of Life" and thinking just how ridiculously dense it is. But with such packing, you can mostly forget about random access; it's more of a tape storage. Which makes me think - if all we need is dense sequential storage of bits, then we should be able to do better than DNA by going with some simpler substances that can be stacked in layers or wrapped around some core. It's probably gonna be more complicated than nano-sized ball of bit-carrying yarn, but we don't need to replicate all the structural features of DNA.
Ironically, a guy named Tim Berners-Lee at Cern had developed something he called WorldWideWeb on NeXT machines. I was trying to figure out what it was good for. It was kind of like Microsoft Word, except some sentences were blue and underlined and if you clicked on them you got a new document that came from a different computer.

Steve asked intensely the first time he saw it, “Is this cool?” I think that was his way of saying he didn’t get what it’s good for. I said I wasn’t sure.

In the 1980s and 1990s, yes. But not for some years, now. It was pointed out on Wikipedia back in 2008 that the cursor+pointer terminology (of Presentation Manager) has been displacing the caret+cursor terminology (of Windows) in Microsoft documentation in (at the time) recent additions to the doco. It was also pointed out that Microsoft's own style manual was (at the time) now recommending "pointer" but has "insertion point" rather than "cursor".

I don't know anyone who's done it (it's still a bit too expensive for me to give it a shot) but it appears to be a fairly standard saliva sample kit that you mail in.

Yes compared to HDD it's way too expensive to read. However tape backups are also cumbersome and time-consuming to use, but the fact that you can get extremely cheap bulk storage from them means lots of big companies still use them. So I could see it maybe being competitive there (eventually).
Couldn't that get awfully expensive for people with lots of followers?
Well the Java iterator interface has changed once already since Java was released (see the old java.util.Enumeration). The current one also has problems, it isn't clear from the API whether "hasNext" will or will not advance the stream (it often does). There are also issues with using it as the foundation for e.g. Async/Await coroutines. But, it simply cannot be changed or deprecated, as it is baked into the syntax of the language.
EDIT: Apparently, the ask is for an additional $2,500. [2] That would make $25MM per 10,000 customers that place an order.

That sounds a lot like "I told you so" tone when I still disagree with you. But in case you're here to talk about it and not just to assert your version of the truth, no, I don't think anyone ever claimed that small corps are a loophole. Then big corps would just delegate it to a shell company and be done with it. European law is, to the best of my knowledge, fairly reasonable: if you do something wrong regarding privacy either because you didn't know (like, you tried to follow GDPR but missed something) or do a small thing, you won't get ridiculous fines. But if you're a 10 person company working with huge amounts of personal data and you were grossly negligent, then of course they'll look at that differently from a 10 man company that produces pencils for retailers and incorrectly stored customer's delivery addresses.

This article catches one of those typical moments of dwarf fortress.

A moment where you are mining through the menus of something new you
haven't tried before, and then being gobsmacked by the
options available to you.

In this case, when the author got to looking at his list of possible
actions he finds that he has a huge list of poems he can recite.

And then you can actually recite them to the audience and have people
respond to it.

By all criteria of code and project management that's just a huge
waste of resources to code up.

But it is so much fun to read.

What bugs me a bit about DF stories of late is that I don't see many

bizarre musical instrument the game generated was like. (I remember

The way I see it, logistics aside, Tesla has awesome cars that are loved by those that manage to get one delivered, customers are actually lining up to buy them to the extent of paying just to get in line for that years ahead of time, and they are pretty much guaranteed to sell anything they ship for the foreseeable future.

Better still most of their would be competitors are either not shipping at all right now, years away from shipping at scale, just plain not even bothering to compete, or shipping limited volumes of not so great products, and generally being vague about timelines, volumes, etc. On top of that they and are struggling with over production of vehicles based on legacy petrol/diesel technology.

E.g. the Germans are doing a lot of hand waving around maybe shipping some electric cars in the next decade while the likes of BMW continue to ship seriously underwhelming electric cars. Ford just discontinued a lot of their petrol sedans. And diesel gate continues to impact most manufacturers involved with basically anything Diesel based.

The way I see it, Tesla will be essentially unchallenged for the next 2-3 years. That's a lot of time to get on top of some simple logistics. And that's assuming the existing car manufacturers actually get their act together. IMHO, most of them are at far bigger risk of bankruptcy than Tesla since they'll be bogged down in demand issues, layoffs, and restructurings for the next few decades.

I don't see the logistical situation as something that can't be resolved by Tesla. Kind of silly to short Tesla under the assumption that this won't be solved; cannot be solved; and that Tesla will perpetually be unable to solve this. The argument seems to be that it is simply impossible to produce the vehicles for Tesla.

If the latest rumors are to be believed, they are pretty much close to the promised rate of 5K cars/week. At 50K price (conservative) that means 250M per week in revenue, or 1 Billion per month. That sounds like a decent business to me. I'm assuming they are not stopping at 5K per week.

Except that this has never happened before, especially to small businesses that are obviously trying to comply with the law.

You have much, much bigger things to worry about as a small company. You could have your bank cut you off because you’re suddenly deemed too risky - happens every day. You could run into a contractual dispute that drags out for years and costs you tens of thousands of euros. You could violate a patent you never knew about. Your supplier goes bust just after you’ve spent weeks negotiating a large order, and now you don’t have enough inventory. You could perform some action or inaction that results in injury to someone, and your insurance could refuse to pay out. It turns out that one of the products you sell kills people, and the Government decides to take you to court over it. Your customers might fail to make good on any credit you give them. One of your key employees could develop a chronic, life-changing illness. You didn’t realise that some tax or other applied to you, and now you’re not making enough money to stay afloat. As a business owner, have you worried about any of these things as much as the GDPR?

A useful thing to know when using macros is that the letter you press after `q` is just the register in which Vim stores the macro. Registers are also used when copying and pasting. As such, if you want to edit a macro, you can just paste it into a new buffer (e.g., `"ap` for register `a`), edit it as you wish, then copy it back into that register (`:%y a`). You can even use this method to write macros from scratch, rather than recording them first.

It's a bit simplistic to think that.

I've never been a fan of these overly technical solutions to what is actually a social issue.
notably in the UK the size of a company is determined not just on employee numbers, but on turnover as well. For example in UK Government guidance on lodging company accounts with Companies House[0] it says:

"There are thresholds for turnover, balance sheet total (meaning the total of the fixed and current assets) and the average number of employees, which determine whether your company is a micro-entity, small or medium-sized."

And there are different requirements for each

If you need a good example, look at Germany. They have very strict laws about it and while there are still fascists there (as there are everywhere), they do not run the country.

Edit: On a more practical note, it's always baffled me how normalised it is. People who defend fascists in the US media are still respected and hired. They might be prominent political figures. Somehow calling attention to someone who is fascist is confused by anyone doing something as simple as saying "liberals are evil!", as if the two party system there has anything to do with racial supremacy. As an outsider, you look at it and think "This is the country that helped liberate Europe from the Nazis. How are they not ashamed?". Maybe I think the first step is allowing shame to enter into things when you think about your nation, instead of a quasi-religious patriotism.
