> Tell them what you are going to tell them, then tell them, then tell them what you told them.

I see this a lot in talks and even in canned presentations and I don't recommend it.

I think it comes from people padding their talks to fit within a certain time frame. Or perhaps, some speakers have realized that enough audience members utterly tune-out during the talk and need to be reminded of what the talk was about just as they're waking-up and getting ready for the next meeting. Somehow it got drilled into people that this is a necessary structure, but it is not!

Much better, I think, to remove material from the talk to the point where the speaker is making one, maybe two interesting assertions that are supported succinctly. Every talk should leave time for discussion.
IIRC, Apple just spends more; they have more transistors. This is a luxury that is harder for Qualcomm to afford, as their customers wouldn't put up with it.
Huawei is also a Gold member of the RISC-V Foundation:

https://riscv.org/membership/1745/huawei/

As another potential threat to ARM, here is an ARM licensee that designs their own chips and is interested in RISC-V. It's not a problem today, but if interest in the ISA continues to grow it should be relatively easy for them to switch.
I'm surprised there isn't a discussion of the Goodenough lithium glass battery [0]. The fact that I haven't read about replication or a failure to replicate is really weird to me given how world-changing such a technology would be if it were proven to be viable.

Whether that’s Apple’s problem or not is tangential to whether or not Jobs was describing the Innovators Dilemma.

But Apple’s main problem is not the high cost of phones. Apple’s problem are:

* The iPhone is good enough for most people and the upgrade cycle is lengthening. The iPhone 6s from 2015 is faster than midrange new Android phones and is actually still faster than even high end Android Phones in single core performance. No one is going to upgrade to a mid range phone. The iPhone 6s is still getting OS updates and probably will for at least two more years.

* the average selling price of an Android phone in $265 - $315 depending on which source you believe (https://www.cnet.com/news/why-your-iphone-and-android-will-c...). Even the low end iPhone SE was selling for more than that.

The 7 is a midrange Phone by iPhone standards and it is $475. If they dropped the price to $350, it would still be more than the average Android user would be willing to pay.

Yes the $329 iPad is proof that they could make a profitable iPhone that was good enough for most people. They charge an extra $130 for cellular and GPS but the chip couldn’t cost anymore than $30.

* I doubt that Apple could make a phone that was cheap enough to lure Chinese buyers and still be a decent phone.
The article seems to define it as "components that are connected via dynamic messages". Looking it up further it seems like the term was coined by Brad Cox in the book "Object-Oriented Programming" from 1986 and the concept seems central to Objective C.

Maybe it's time to realize that it's very hard to be objective and neutral. In this case, being objective and neutral is just giving the extremes a platform to promote themselves.

Maybe sites like Facebook should try taking a "no politics" policy, or a policy where a political ad is always placed next to a free ad from the opposing side?
The headline made me think of this: https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2012/04/13

I vaguely remember from Jobs' biography by Isacson that if you are not willing to cannibalize your own market share with a cheaper product someone else will do that for you. I am not 100% if it was Jobs who said that though.
The article begins by contradicting itself: "To deliver an electric vehicle that’s cheaper, safer and capable of traveling 500 miles on a single charge ..."

That's not a "car". A "car", as driven by a billion people every day, takes trips whose distances have a power-law distribution falling off from ~2 miles down to 150 miles, by which point you are looking at < 0.1% of trips. A large fraction of cars have never been driven on a 500 mile trip.
The trend is that many professional people want to live in the urban core, because they are delaying having kids mostly.

Missing middle housing is all about the disruption of the boom/bust cycle of housing and long time erosion of middle class earnings, plus a decreased supply of tradespeople that has ballooned up skilled and semi-skilled labor. We have a glut of mediocre college educated people and a shortage of people who do things -- my brother in law is an electrician, his billing rate is up to $150/hr, and he has a 6 week backlog of work.

It's not economical to build a house anymore like it was in the mid-90s -- even if you own the land. We're being flooded with medium density, carve-out rental housing developments because you need that scale to make money, mostly through trading of tax expenses.

Those developments suck because they don't integrate with the street grid, waste space and are universally low quality buildings. When you pass the 15-year mark and interest/tax write downs go away, they will naturally turn into low-income as the landlords profitability melts away. Around that point, these developments flip over to a succession of shittier operators.
Thanks, I'll make sure to read that. Generally I am greatly frustrated about how little I know about 'physical things'. Like all my effort has always been poured into philosophy, mathematics, economics, and computer science, never leaving any time to appreciate physics, chemistry and engineering. Just the title of that paper has three words I don't know what mean!

This sounds like complaining about users being able to report bugs.
It wasn't an article. It especially wasn't a scientific study. They were offering a viewpoint and an example.

But if you're right, and people should always offer ironclad proof of claims, please show me the studies that back your claim that "The author made a claim, so they should support it." I will only accept high-n, double-blind studies published in major journals. Thanks in advance.

I found it interesting that the last time I was in the mall with a friend, we were both more fascinated with the Microsoft store than the Apple store. The Apple store was just bigger, faster, better phones and computers. The Microsoft store had new things. Virtual reality, Surface Hub, Surface Book, etc.
Gaming is the #1 reason I haven't fully switched to Linux on the desktop at home (at work I exclusively run Linux).

It is concerning that Britain First exist and have the support they do.

It's also concerning that Facebook has the power to decide who is right and wrong when it comes to the most popular form of free speech we have in the world today.

These aren't mutually exclusive facts- they can both be true or false and you can agree or disagree with them to different levels. And I don't have an answer. I'm not even sure any answer the majority would agree with exists. This is the great problem our generation must answer as a society, or destroy everything great we have achieved for having not solved it.
Renault already offer battery leasing - you buy the car, but lease the battery based on your annual mileage. It has been reasonably popular, but it's far from a game changer.

https://www.renault.co.uk/renault-finance/battery-hire.html
I disagree with the premise of the question. How many people really need a 500 mile range? How often does the average person do a long road trip? Is it really such a hassle to stop and stretch your legs (and maybe eat) while charging in the middle of a once-annual road trip?

Hell, even if you're doing that drive weekly, you might still prefer the electric since it'd save you a lot on gas money, even though it enforces a mid-trip break.

I agree that semi trucks represent a massive amount of road damage, and iirc the way we structure our road costs represents a $60B transfer of wealth to the trucking industry. I wish we’d reverse that, as we could then start seriously looking at trains as a more reasonable means of moving most of our bulk goods.

Of course, it’s not like EV semitrucks won’t have the same weight issues as passenger cars. The same issues with energy density apply there too. EV semitrucks will either need to be heavier or more plentiful to compensate for the loss of range or towing capacity compared to diesel.

As an aside, we need to revisit the 4,000lb standard for sedans. The heaviest Honda Civic weighs 3,000lb, my Mazda 3 weighs under 3,000lb, and a Mazda 6 weighs at most 3,500lb. These days you need a luxury or performance sedan before you start touching the 4,000lb mark.
This is also true for any mechanical work on vehicles that you're not too familiar with. You will always underestimate how forgetful you'll get after even one day. When rebuilding or even performing small mechanical tasks on a motorcycle, I always photograph and label every new state of the motorcycle and link that photograph to the corresponding parts (nuts, bolts, gaskets etc) in chronological order. And even then somehow I find myself getting lazy in the process and think that I'll remember this little step or location of the part.
> It's only restricting foreign investments from certain countries like China that don't play by the rules.

The US generally (in cooperation with Europe) wrote the rules on post-WWII trade.

I think China absolutely does some shady stuff, pathologically lies about doing so, and flaunts international rules they dislike.

But let's not pretend the game wasn't tilted against them (and developing countries) from the start.

There's a reason Trump is having a hard time staffing State and the Pentagon: everyone professionally qualified to serve knows how the current international system serves American interests.

“One of Job's business rules was to never be afraid of cannibalizing yourself. " If you don't cannibalize yourself, someone else will," he said. So even though an Iphone might cannibalize sales of an IPod, or an IPad might cannibalize sales of a laptop, that did not deter him.”[0]

The idea being pushed is cannibalization by a better product, not lower prices.

Aren't Apple OS updates typically tied to actual hardware constraints (vs a x-year obsolescence cycle)? With the 5 and iOS10, Apple stopped supported 32-bit hardware, right? I don't recall a time where Apple just said "that phone is too old and slow" - it's always been "that phone doesn't have [hardware architecture X]".

Point being, the cycle isn't known. The iPhone 7 could be supported for many years. Or, hardware design could change in 2019 and even the XS and XR could be obsolete.
I don't have a good answer for your immediate question, but your post made me think, "there must be a way to show all available binaries in the current PATH".

> Airplanes are typically "driven" (using positive power) all throughout the flight regime, including descent and approach.

No, not really. Descent in most aircraft is typically done at idle. In jet powered aircraft, final approach will be done with the engines at some speed above idle, but that is to minimize spool-up time during a go-around, rather than because the aircraft needs the thrust.
is your campaign against more churches being built part of an overall plan to drive christians out of your area?
I’ve wondered for a while with NPR doesn’t have both audio and text of all of their programs.

Sometimes I can listen, but not read (driving). Sometimes, I can read but not listen (work, or just when I’m without headphones). I realize they want high quality voice, but if at the moment all they have is text that’s ok with me. Not having both of these often means I just skip that article and never come back to it
How Student Loans Are Killing Homeownership
As a country you can apply standards to companies which are operating in your legal framework. Germany for example prosecutes (German and probably foreign) companies which bribe in other countries. Siemens was a big example in the 90s.

Same applies to free speech. The US could apply a law to their companies but they do not (because free unbound capitalism). I ignore anything related to national security in this argument :).
Women in tech in 2018: As seen by 5 European female founders
This article reads like its own satire due to the rhetorical oxymoron phrase "science denial".
I feel like this corporate censorship is awful for free speech. Specifically, because dividing people by beliefs/demographics increases tribalistic behaviour and the spread of misinformation.

I foresee a situation where we have multiple social networks, each with radically different social/political slants. Similar to what we've seen with things like Reddit and Voat.
Why does padding have to be a power of two?
> Electric cars are not that much heavier than ICE cars.

this isn't really true. a model 3 is about 400lbs heavier than a base a4 (~12%) and 300lbs heavier than a base 3 series (~8%). that's a pretty big difference for a midsize sedan.

your overall point is valid, of course. any sedan is going to do negligible damage compared to a large truck.
This is always going to be subjective because it has everything to do with the speaker's intent, not the actual words. Determining hate speech is almost always about fishing out intent that the speaker is very protective of.

Plug-in Hybrid EV (PHEV)

There are loads of them available and many are popular, heck even Toyota Prius has a model that has this capability (Prius Prime).

I am on the market for buying a PHEV, because fast charger availability in my country is very limited (which is weird given that we are super green electric giants), so pure EV is going to be hard unless I have a backup car for road trips.

Kia Optima is the one I like the most, but I may end up buying Tesla Model 3 and just ship it through the Atlantic (yes, we also don't have Tesla in my country) and have a backup car, or rent/borrow a car when doing road trips
> But most of us become too established in one place to seriously consider moving once we hit 30.

Sometimes I feel like that would be nice but then realize I’d be very unhappy with it. I’ve moved over 10 times in the last 10 years across 4 different states.

I’ve never really lived on ‘default’ and wouldn’t want to. I like taking risks and giving in to my impulses and it has been financially and personally rewarding in many ways.

For people living on ‘default’ I recommend tweaking the setting a little bit.

My recommendation is to be honest about your desires and value system and see which path lines up best with that. For example, it could be that AI provides the most potential monetary reward by a large margin if you do it well. But maybe it's not the most interesting to you based on the options you have. It could also raise the risk that whatever you create is used to displace people from their jobs and that might not appeal to you either (even if it may very well be done by someone else down the road and could be inevitable). Maybe healthcare provides a more emotionally rewarding experience but is less profitable in the long run and may or may not have the same level of scalability as AI. Maybe it's more labor intensive which creates jobs and requires more day to day oversight, involvement, and less creativity but ends up being more fulfilling. Perhaps your energy option lies somewhere between those two. I don't know. But you should honestly evaluate the long-term road map and impact of your plan to see how you imagine things shaking out in the end and see which of those visions seems more fulfilling. It's possible going for whatever is the most profitable is what you want and that's fine. It's also possible that you may find the impact of one of the options to be more emotionally fulfilling and might value that much higher than just seeking the highest income.

Another, simpler version of that recommendation I've seen is the old advice of trying to imagine what your ideal work day looks like and see what path can best provide that to you. But I find that advice to be a little superficial in that it only takes into account what your schedule and tasks may look like, not what you get out of the job. So it's also something to consider, but along with everything else.
Reading the thread it seems this all happened a while ago:

> The world of 2014 Linux graphics drivers was not a friendly place. We absolutely encountered issues where some driver revisions only worked on certain distros, and AFAIK we did not use anything specific to a Linux distro.

About the same time Chromium project found a lot of GFX bugs and created a lot of workarounds but when I disabled all of them now in 2019, they don't seem to exist. Anecdotal experience but I think things have improved and it wouldn't be this hard any longer.
>I don’t care about static or dynamic types,(...) I think that RMDB is the simplest and most reliable in theory and practice

But... RDMBs are often statically typed (you specify the column type when creating it), and strongly typed (they often don't do auto-conversions of data types.)
It's also burned through roughly half it's support lifecycle already meaning it's about the same as buying an actually "new" $900 phone over time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_iOS_devices#iPhone
I was wondering the same thing, but the only realistic attack I can think of is if you happen to make localhost.example.com resolve to example.com and don't check the host name server side. And then the end user needs to not look too closely at the address bar.

So perhaps not do this if your domain is large_bank.com. But if you are aware the keys are exposed you could simply change your DNS to make it resolve somewhere else.

Of course, another option is to use localhost.junk_domain.com for testing so it doesn't matter if you lose the keys.
Now, the power imbalance is a problem, of course.

But the mere fact that someone has a different opinion on something does not in any way entitle them to equal consideration of their position. Just because a murderer thinks that murdering people is fine does not mean that you should be welcoming towards murders or that outrage is unjustified.
Wow, you are a genius. Thank you so much for that little tidbit.
A setback for fs-verity
As a volt owner, I agree. I love this car to death, especially because I'm not in a living situation that would make at-home EV charging easy (apartment).

PHEVs are perfect. I drive EV 80% of the time but still have all the convenience of gas. One day, when I buy a house, and charging networks are a bit more mature I would love a BEV, but right now PHEV's are a great inbetween.

Freedom of speech is a concept, in USA there is a specific protection to prevent government from inhibiting free speech in certain ways. That doesn't mean that non-government persons are unable to inhibit free speech.

It's curious that USA's media corporations' [gamut of] values do get promoted through their productions. In more open societies they're just presented as is.

It's less that it's a claim by Huawei and more that the claims haven't been verified independently. Competitive benchmarking has a long history of results which are hard to reproduce and comparisons which “accidentally” left the competing product in an unusual state, so it's prudent to distrust them until they can be verified independently.

The base models of the named cars have of course much less powerful engines than the Model 3, so the weight difference goes down as you equip the ICEs with larger engines. Yes, some weight differential is left, but a small one compared to trucks and semis.

Fun story: the Hydrogen Fuel Cell. Yesterday's miracle battery of tomorrow that never quite happened, right? Well, the big picture story is a bit different. It was invented shortly before the lead acid battery and US civil war. It accumulated a few refinements and fewer practical uses over the years, until the Apollo era when there was a huge breakthrough (polymer electrolyte membranes). Then it went back to slowly accumulating incremental advancements, and that's still the story today.

Exploitation is exponential (the scale of each success determines the resources people are willing to bet on the next win), but exploration is a punctuated equilibrium, and it's a recipe for disappointment to assume that all progress should behave like the former rather than the latter.
This is a follow up to another tweet though
Constantly chasing happiness typically only leads to short term happiness, then a return to baseline. If you're expecting a change of scenery to make you a new person, it won't. Anywhere you go, there you are.

This concept isn't a bad thing. You are constantly evolving, and some choices you make will work for you better than others have. However, if you want to feel at peace (which is a much more important goal) you can find that at any stage in your life.
