The market is small. Sad, but true. Joe average just doesn't care.

I have this same issue with phones: I want something smaller, thicker, old cpu, cheap, really long battery life. It needs to do a few functions: play audio/video, call, text, email, read, occasionally browse web on mobile data. Not much that fits all of those.
I would be concerned if an engineer I worked with put forward a DB design that wasn’t normalized to 3NF without a really good reason. Designs that are 1NF but not 3NF are generally either hyper-optimized (better have a really good reason) or just bad. It’s not hard to get a DB into 3NF.
Yes, it's big and growing quickly. The structure of kids memeing kids (who are told to do so by the TikTok AI and marketing team) plays well and spreads quickly.
Based on knowing and being firsthand friends with several Midori devs, I’m going to assert that this is simply not true. The majority of them were just reassigned when the project was cancelled.

Many of the innovations from Midori were included in other projects. The project may have “failed” but it was far from a failure.
Wait, is Java point particles and Ruby superstrings, with LISP being quantum fields?
the first release should be v1

If this were done, how would v1 be any different than v0 is now? Isn't it nice that people who want to avoid all that hell breaking loose can simply not use a package that hasn't gotten to v1? Why would you want to do away with that?
Weird, can't find anything about it at all.

Making wild claims _on the back_ of a cool idea and raising a bunch of money is not trying out something new. It was a scam from the start to the finish. Or if not a scam, atleast a very misguided wishful thinking not at all grounded in reality (of Earthly or Martian variety)
IIRC, one of the first iPhone jailbreaks used malformed images as an attack vector to get root.
Because they are a million times easier to browse when all on one site and there (usually) aren’t any worries about cross-promoting different subreddits. It also makes it a lot easier for knowledgeable people to poke their heads into a random thread and offer an opinion compared to going to another site.

Unfortunately, all of that was a lot better 10 years ago.
Ok thanks, that makes the decision easier then.

You have to run a unifi server or get a cloud key. That enables advanced guest access, deep packet inspection, and other stuff. There's nothing as simple as what you describe per se. It's basically enterprise class networking. I originally got it because I thought I would use the mesh networking.. but the standard AP has been way more sufficient in coverage that I don't need to mesh. I like the form factor too, I have ethernet in my house and I was able to use one of the small PoE in wall APs.

The best mesh network though would be through a smoke alarm setup. Then you could do backhaul over the power line and then you'd have WiFi everywhere. It would work really well for newer construction where hard wired smoke alarms are mandatory.
I started about 4 years ago. While I haven't really noticed much of a decline in comment quality, I think I have noticed a trend towards articles from large mainstream publications making it to the front page. Having said that, the front page as I write this is full of TechCrunch, so it is very possible this is confirmation bias ;-)
This topic (and the associated app) has been getting a lot of press in Australia recently, due to recent cases of Australian customs refusing to acknowledge asylum claims from Saudi women who have made it to Australia and sending them back to an uncertain fate in Saudi Arabia. Also tactics like Australian officials intercepting fleeing women at transit points (such as Hong Kong) and turning them over to Saudi authorities. See the first link below.

This has everything to do with keeping Russian digital sovereignty intact in case "digital blockades" will become an actual thing.

Like it or not, but Facebook and Google sitting in the US, collecting massive amounts of private data from people all over the world, while the NSA just taps straight into exchanges, like the DE-CIX, means that the Internet is an inherently very hostile place to any non-Five eyes [0] actors.

It's also for those above reasons that Russia and China have massive local social media alternatives, they don't want their citizen's data to end up on US servers.

For countries like Russia and China, it's actually important to make sure their digital infrastructure doesn't fall apart the moment a US company, or those aligned with Five-Eye interests, decide to shut them out.

I think burbs combine the worst of rural and urban; it's still noisy and everyone can see you and there's often enough crime to not feel quite safe; but it's also soul very inconvenient in every way and you have much more house maintenance to do. And you get unique things like rural house work is sometimes combined with crappy HOAs enforcing same; and also unlike both rural and urban cases finding a place with good views / lots of open air is very hard. It's just literally hell made to raise kids. For every other purpose it's about as good as a HS building that you cannot leave is in the rankings of the good buildings to spend time in.

Pretty close. It's a smooth map with smooth inverse. If you've chosen chosen coordinates, it will transform them for you.

I think most physicists probably have a reasonable intuitive idea what a diffeomorphism is, since most have probably learned something about relativity.
I think "rational" and "irrational" have taken on domain-specific meaning in economics. This is not unusual. Ontologies and DSL are kind-of a way of life now, in any information-theoretic field.

In my space, we refer to some things as "portable" or "non-portable" which has very specific intent, which doesn't relate to if you can pick them up or not. I think loan-words which have close analogies in a few minds rapidly diverge.

So a "rational" actor in economics seem (to me at least) to mean the typical selfish bastard who only acts to maximise their own profit outcome, no matter how its defined, and excludes a green warrior buying a good or chattel to NOT use it, or somebody buying it to give to charity, or buying it to round up another charge to get north of a shipping fee but its a nonce purchase and has no intent or purpose..

its a narrow, domain-specific meaning. I think that word doesn't mean what you think it means inconceivable

There is NO graphical Win32 stuff; UWP only. There are some non-graphical Win32 APIs but not like full Windows.

It's basically .net core and UWP and all the old familiar Windows stuff is gone.

IoT Core is either the best possible Windows or the worst possible Windows, depending on your point of view.

For some things, it's a perfect fit. If you can't fit into a .net core & UWP ecosystem entirely then it won't be a good fit if you need a GUI.

The developer has control over the pricing model though right? For an app that solves a specific problem one time and then is useless, it would be foolish for a developer to offer a free trial. As far as I know Apple does not force free trials.
The Pi Zero pricing is entirely to get them into the hands of people. I seem to recall reading somewhere that volume pricing is similar to that of the Raspberry Pi Model A, which makes sense given that they are very similar just smaller.
Am guessing you use a computer for most of your work, and you have bought software for that? And maybe you play video games on a dedicated system, for which you have bought software?

It's mainly different use cases. I do a lot of work on ipad and iphone, so I have paid apps for those. Others like games on them, so they spend there, etc

If you're on android, it's also just a very different app ecosystem, so it's harder to think about how the other side does it.

Japan had a larger GDP per capita than the US from 1987 until 2000.

Inflation adjusted their GDP was nearly as large in 1995 as China's is today. They did that with 1/11th the population. China will never accomplish something that dramatic economically.

Japan held a lot more influence over the US at the time precisely because we were allies. China will never be allowed to acquire large numbers of important US companies (and vice versa), because we're unlikely to ever be allies. Japan's holdings of the US national debt back then as a % were also far greater than China's position is today.

In 1991, it was Japanese billionaires dominating the global richest 50 list. Taikichiro Mori and Yoshiaki Tsutsumi were the two richest people in the world, at $15b and $14b. That's nothing like what is occurring today, American billionaires are dominant.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, it was the Japanese corporate giants that ruled the global economy. Today it's American corporate giants by a large margin. China's giants mostly can't leave their own borders and never will. The regressive command economy straight-jacket - mixed with political doctrine-based restraints - that their companies are permanently ruled by, won't allow it.

China's leverage today is not orders of magnitude greater than Japan at its economic peak. Asia as an example was far poorer across the board in 1985-1995 than it is today, Japan towered over Asia economically in a way China never will. In 1985, South Korea's GDP per capita was 20% that of Japan; China was 2.5% that of Japan; and so on.

> Why would we use as a currency something that swings 90% back and forth every few years? That's an objectively awful currency.

No, that's a subjectively awful currency.

> isn't [volatility] what [BitCoin is] supposed to be saving Venezuela from?

No, it's supposed to provide an alternative to those subjected to and abused by centralized currencies and/or their government. Bitcoin's creation happened way back when Venezuela was massively wealthy, -before- they did the exact thing cryptocurrency backers feared they would.

> Whether we call them bag holders or not, there's no guarantee there's another $2.4B/yr to maintain the current price let alone drive it up.

Of course there isn't - I don't believe anyone implied there was? So far, historically, there _has been_ enough to drive the price up. Just zoom out a bit. Even if there is not 2.4B/yr, wouldn't the bag holders be the first to lose? I do not understand your argument here.

> IMO by the transitive property, it's a scam. Let's say I own a coffee shop. I also know that it's a breeding ground for venomous cobras, but I refuse to let an exterminator in. If someone gets bitten there's no world in which I'm not going to prison. It's not fair to call what I have "just a coffee shop" is it?

I have _no idea_ what you're trying to say here.

> It's also not an investment, as you're not obtaining a share of ownership in anything.

This is also false.

> It's like calling Subway sub stamps an investment

Despite your value judgement, Subway sub stamps _are absolutely_ an investment. Maybe not a wise one, but that's my opinion.

> The market is now smaller than its been in terms of total market cap, in terms of transaction count, in terms of transaction volume, than it's been in 2 years

Yes, 2 years ago was the peak of the hype. This is expected. It's also up over the last 1 year, and up over the last 3 years. Zooming to a particular part of a graph to suit a theory is not a good way to look at the world.

> All the other cryptocurrencies are even less used, less useful, and not even worth talking about, like Dentacoin

Conjecture and straw-man argument. This is akin to saying "spacejam.com"? Useless! That INTERNET is going NOWHERE!

I understand you feel strongly about this, and I understand you will reply as if I am a strong die-hard crypto fan, but I want you to know that I am just a simple internet citizen and your line of argument is unhelpful at best and actively driving people the other direction at worst.
If nothing else, it should depend on how they got it.

Why hire a contractor with the same skill set over an employee with the same skill set?
...except for the post editor. It is an improvement. If they put the new editor in as an option in the old UI, I'd be quite happy.

But the rest of the new UI? I seriously do not get it. It't not just the look, which is a matter of taste [1]. It just does some weird things that make absolutely no sense to me.

For example, when you go to the comments for a post, it puts them in some kind of overlay window, with the post listing under it. I suppose this is great for quickly getting back to the post listing, as you just have to hit the close X up in the corner and it goes away and you are instantly back.

However, since the post list is still there while reading the comments, if you do a search within the page in the browser (well...in Firefox...I haven't tried in other browsers) it finds hits on the "hidden" post list too.

The good news is that if you open comments, and get this overlay window view, all you have to do is hit refresh. When the page refreshes it gives you a more normal comment view, without it being an overlay on the post list view. So now searching works like you'd expect.

Also, on Edge, scrolling is messed up in the overlay view. Apparently they are handling it themselves in JavaScript for some reason, and it doesn't match native browser scrolling making it feel awkward at best and hard to use at worst. So refreshing to get out of overlay mode also gets you a properly scrolling comment view.

But WHY would they have these two different ways to view comments? It makes no sense to me to have it come up one way, and then have refreshing change it to another way. (My guess is that the first way--the terrible one--is what it is supposed to be all the time, and the refresh thing is a bug).

[1] That doesn't mean I like it...the colors, fonts, styles, etc., of the post list make it hard for me to read efficiently. At first I thought maybe I was just used to the old style, and so to give it a chance I've stuck with the new UI for months and nope, not getting any better.
Now it's reversed - only the losers yell about it, while anyone who profited from the bubble is keeping their mouth shut.

Funny how the zeitgeist can turn.
Yet you use it?
Reddit has become a platform to manipulate public opinion. I have witnessed some very strange things on Reddit where I presume a company, government agency or malicious groups take over a subject and comments to steer the opinion. It’s easy to spot. Personally I treat Reddit as a place for humor and occasional insight, but mostly humor.

> Federal Income Tax Withheld $61,363.50 State Income Tax Withheld (CA) $22,103.55

I think there's some confusion around terminology- that's not payroll taxes (the 6%), that's regular income taxes. Anyways, you realize you do have to pay taxes eventually on your deferred income, right? I agree they will probably be lower rates, but you're not 'saving' yourself from these income taxes, just deferring for a few years....

Health insurance costs $6k+ for a not-great plan with a kinda high deductible (source- this is what I have). The type of HS offered by a FAANG is ultra-premium, literally everything is covered. There is so much financial value there man, especially if you have a medical emergency and actually use it- not to mention that they cover your family too. Minimum value is $10-20k and could be way, way, way higher depending on your usage or your family's usage in a given year.

Yes, FAANGs will match 401ks 10% or above (!). 3% would be poor in any industry or sector. Your information is incorrect.

Not interested in arguing with you about FAANG salaries, you're simply wrong. If you're worth $200-300k at one of them, you're extremely in-demand and worth that at a lot of companies.

I want to argue respectfully, but you have some awful weird financial ideas just based around tax avoidance (which is really just tax deferment). There is absolutely no way the tax benefits of contracting with a defined benefit plan even come close to the $ amount of the benefits from working at a FAANG, you're not even in the ballpark. More proof that taxes just make some people crazy and lead some to absolutely bizarre financial decisions (like people who commit tax fraud and go to real prison- the risk/reward there is completely out of whack)

Because it’s only a matter of time until the taxman comes for you. Soaking the rich sounds great in theory (hey, who doesn’t want free stuff), but it’s the middle class who always foots the bill for big government spending in the end. The rich have more resources to shelter their money or just move to another country. The poor don’t have any more to give. So that leaves you and I. And frankly, I don’t trust that the politicians will spend additional tax money any more wisely than they spend the tax money we give them now. Just look at San Francisco’s $10 billion budget for how effectively we can waste tax payer money.

Can you use user namespaces with a released version of Docker or Kubernetes? I think the answer is no? (Or can you do it with Kubernetes + some other container runtime?)

We run Kubernetes + Docker with a policy of no root inside containers (we map you to your normal UID inside the container), but most of the rabbit hole we got into was trying to figure out the implications of setuid binaries inside the container. It seems like on a normal system, setuid binaries inside a container do in fact get host root unless you tell Docker to drop those capabilites, and also fscaps aren't really usable in a container image, I think.
Please try and convince me that someone operating a fleet of delivery robots that costs many thousands of euros each is going to be 'cheaper' than utilising the current model of people + their own cars. Where I live (Estonia), delivery adds a few euros to the cost of food (for example). Even if that was reduced to a single euro that wouldn't make any difference to if we ordered food to home or not.
