There are still incompatibility issues in practice.

And even still, you will get something that won't outlast the inbuilt batteries - which makes it absurd to spend money on them. I still use, on a daily basis, my $300 headphones that are a decade old. I can't find any bluetooth headphones fort $3-400 with NC that matches them. And they won't last a decade for sure (whereas my wired ones probably will last several).
> People complain that dockless rental scooters and bicycles block the sidewalk...

Seen it quite a few times, on my bike I just kick them out of the way. The last one I was walking over to the corner store for some morning coffee and it was parked right in the middle of the sidewalk but left unlocked so I "moved" it over to the store with it telling me it was calling the police the whole way.

I actually haven't been seeing very many of them lately around the valley, I guess they figured out nobody wants to ride around on a bike during hot Arizona summers and moved them to more lucrative markets. Well, plus all the "adopted" ones I still see running around town.
Is this one of your first jobs? If it’s early in your career I always recommend taking the big company option. You learn a lot of positive business practices and the culture of large companies early on that will be very helpful in your future, should you decide to start a company going up against or selling to similar companies, you will also bring some of the discipline needed to build a small biz into a large one. My career used the reverse model and it took me a long time to realize the skills I was missing.

It's pretty cool to watch this happen in Mexico City of all places. The public transportation is insanely subsidized. The metro system is 0.25¢ USD a ride.

There are metro buses, which are double buses on a dedicated bus only road, with dedicated stations. ~0.20¢ There are now even double-decker buses like in the UK.

Plus there is a city-wide bike share program. That now has electric bikes! Now there are tons of other bike share companies popping up. There is also electric scooters you can rent.

Plus there is a massive fleet of taxis and uber is very cheap as well. Good mix of transportation options.
That wouldn’t be a new move for Microsoft. They have found some success with Surface and they’re expanding the line. However, they are making similar trade-offs to Apple where able. They may release a new, popular product, but it will just solidify the trends that people in this thread are complaining about.
When I used plug-in headphones, they’d all break within weeks and start automatically skipping and enabling Voice Control, when I have all voice command options disabled.

Bluetooth headphones come with a headache, but mine haven’t broken in a month. I call it a clear improvement.
Yeah, come to Google. PS: I work there, and it's a good place :)

In all seriousness, promising startups are few and far between. If you find one (aligned with your interests), by all means jump on it :)

How do you know if a startup is super promising?

i) Check out their source of funding. If super reputable VCs => Good signal.

ii) Check out their attrition. If it's a revolving door, don't go there.

iii) Check out the employees. Best startups tend to have highly credentialed employees (e.g. formerly very successful startup founders).

iv) Is the startup on a continuous growth trajectory? Best startups are on one without much setback. Again, multiple setbacks => Don't go there.

v) I wouldn't bet on the specific idea or the problem being solved. Who would've guessed Facebook, Uber, Airbnb would be massive hits purely based on the idea? Betting on momentum (e.g. user growth) and/or the team is somewhat easier to measure and understand.

vi) Where do you see yourself (and the startup) in 2, 3, 5 years if you join? Will you gain skills and reputation highly relevant to your next steps? How big is the addressable market (and potential market value) of the startup?

It's best to make a list of factors you care about (money, location etc). Rank each option by each factor. Add things up in the end.

These are the rules that I personally follow. Best of luck!

Two of your three examples consist of algorithms that take a large number of steps. Without an ability to perform a large number of steps in a short amount of time, there wouldn't be the need to think about such things. That is, your tutoring of the ancient would consist of explaining an algorithm that might take 100,000 calculations. He would grasp it, but shrug and say "so what? It would take years to perform that algorithms. Let me show you a different way that results in a damn good approximation that requires nothing more than a compass, straightedge, stylus and a piece of string."

In short, you are confusing reasoning ability with algorithms designed for a particular form of technology.

Take neural nets. Would someone from the 1970s understand the benefits of a convoluted net vs. a simpler form? Perhaps. But, without the technology to perform millions of training calculations, the lack of comprehension would come from your pupil wondering what the point would be of trying to understand an algorithm that, with his technology, could never be demonstrated, used, or tested.

What I had in mind by Ego was "flattery", so in a positive sense. In retrospect, ego without M is an empty, impotent argument.

The First Flying-Car Review
It says they injected RNA into the new sea-slugs -- did they try injecting a placebo as well? It does not specify how they did it, but I assume injecting RNA is somewhat traumatic for the sea slug and becoming more reclusive with its siphon and extremities could be a default reaction.
i think it's more likely that people generally (anywhere) would feel little natural allegiance or loyalty to a foreign multinational corporation
My argument here is about the sum of activity across the entire economy. There are thousands of companies writing software for thousands of distinct niches and industries. Millions of businesses world wide have software that was written by them or for them.

Every line of COBOL in a bank basement, every SCADA gadget, every drill screen on a wildcatter rig, every MS Access database responsible for the work of 3 people in an office in rural England ... the sum value and volume of software we don't see and don't recognise is staggering.

More to the point, it would be mathematically impossible for the structure of production to be smaller than the consumer market. Unless you are producing something from nothing, or producing instantaneously, or both, then the absolute minimum possible size for the structure of production is to be precisely equivalent to the consumer market. This is clearly not what we observe.
I think it is because many people's bill is not primarily in EC2.

AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure's biggest value add come from managed services, like auto scaling databases and VMs. It makes it a lot easier for a small startup to build out their services without thinking about scaling challenges.

Snapchat, for example, was built on google app engine and to this day has billions of dollars in contracts with Google Cloud. They scaled their app to millions of users remarkably well with what I hear was just 2 guys.

No one does a startup because they expect it to stay small, so eating the upfront cost of using a managed service is a reasonable price to pay for peace of mind if things take off and the team can't keep up.

Hiring people to manage infrastructure and do it well is likely more expensive in many scenarios.
Yes but Costco only has a specific set of things that I'm looking for

I think, as a society, we're going to have to get away from the notion that buying everything in one place is the ideal.

We distribute computing, diversify investments, and decentralize everything from government offices to manufacturing. I think a certain amount of decentralization in shopping is OK if it means I don't have to deal with Amazon's counterfeit products, fake reviews, and conmen.

If I have to go back to the days of buying my groceries at the grocery store, my hardware at the hardware store, and my computers at the computer store, I'm OK with that.

I travel out of my way to go to a real butcher where I can see the cows going in the back of the building, and the results in the cold case in front. I know the meat hasn't been frozen (coughWhole Foodscough), isn't in storage so long it has to be pumped full of gas to keep its color, and if I want exactly six ounces of something, I watch the guy cut it fresh right in front of my eyes.

He's also an asshole, but I'd rather deal with his attitude than the perils, known and unknown, of a retail experience 100% controlled by an algorithm with no pride or ethics.
> What controls and experiments can you do in astronomy?

> The scientific method is a thin veneer best left at in the high school curriculum where it belongs.

Are you seriously belittling the scientific method. It's the central idea within real science.

> Actual science is vastly more messy and interesting.

Actual science relies on the scientific method. Pseudoscience ( like economics, psychology, social "science" ) do not rely on the scientific method.

The problem with economics is that it isn't predictive and testable. That's why you cannot scientifically test capitalism vs communism. Economics is a religion where you worship a prophet ( such as Adams or Marx ) rather than produce testable and verifiable hypothesis.

You can objectively and empirically test assertions in astronomy. You can't in economics.
I was part of the pilot run so hsve been using it for a couple of months now. I love the fact that I can easily put it in my bag and travel around with it. I use mac but it's so easy to change to ubuntu layout when Pairing and you just keep on being productive.

I use emacs, vim, visual studio code and intellij with vim plugins on non native vim and the esc / ctrl modifier is great. It's a 1000 times better than the normal ctrl.

One thing that I appreciate the most about the UHK is @mondalaci's drive to make this a brilliant product. From the newsletters to responding almost instantly to any query someone might and even helping me out with my config.

I was starting to get very sore wrists after typing a lot and now, during one of the most intense coding years of my life, no sore wrists!

The UHK is part of my kit now and sure, there are a couple of things to get used to and some things I would have liked to change in beginning but have gotten used to. I really dislike typing without it now
The big cloud providers all give a massive amount of credits for startups to use. Massive meaning multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars. So it’s easy for startups to hop on for the free credits and a couple years later be too busy on product cycles to make time for a move. The “lock-in” is strong.
It's far from obvious that a Republic of China that wins the Chinese Civil War would have developed, reformed, and democratized in the same way that the rump ROC on Taiwan has.
