I have, and you can make the case that this is what's happening, and use Trumps 2017 tax cut as a very good example of elites complaining about him, but successfully using him for their own ends.

And that would be true, but I don't believe that overall, since it presupposes that just because someone is a celebrity, they are necessarily some sort of mindless, insentient vessel that optimizes for fame and can otherwise be controlled. Why shouldn't Kim Kardashian have strong-but-misguided opinions like any other random person? And wouldn't her existing fame make her way less amenable to influence by unknown individuals? To use a real-life example, much of Trump's immigration obsession is not shared by the elites who benefited from his tax cuts.

Ultimately, I don't believe it because I don't think any person can be as easily influenced as this scenario implies.

For desktop PCs, the ATX standard means that the entirety of a high-end gaming PC upgrade often consists of just a new motherboard, CPU, RAM and GPU.

And that's great, if you're into generic beige boxes.

It's been years since I put together my own IBM compatible computers. But in the time since then, I haven't really seen any innovation in desktops.

Yes, for a while the processor numbers ticked up, but then plateaued. Graphics cards push the limits, but that has zero to do with the ATX standard, and more to do with using GPUs for non-graphics computation.

The laptop and mobile sectors seem to be what is driving SSD adoption, high DPI displays, power-conscious design, advanced cooling, smaller components, improved imaging input, reliable fingerprint reading, face recognition for security, smaller interchangeable ports, the move from spinning media to solid state or streaming, and probably other things that I can't remember off the top of my head.

Even if you think Apple's touchbar was a disaster, it's the kind of risk that wouldn't be taken in the Wintel desktop industry.

All we've gotten from the desktop side in the last 20 years is more elaborate giant plastic enclosures, LED lights inside the computer, and...? I'm not sure. Even liquid cooling was in laptops in the early part of this century.

Again, I haven't built a desktop in a long time, so if I'm off base I'd like to hear a list of desktop innovations enabled by the ATX standard. But my observation is that ATX is a pickup truck, and laptops are a Tesla.

The Soyuz definitely counts too. It was designed in the 60s and hasn't changed too much since then.

The craziest aspect of the Soyuz that makes it obvious how legacy it is is how its engines are ignited: https://www.popularmechanics.com/space/rockets/a19966/russia...

You literally put something not too dissimilar from a wooden chair directly beneath the rocket nozzles, then set it on fire right before launch. When the rocket's engines start up, the fuel is ignited by the fire from the burning wood, and combustion begins. Now that's legacy. It's also reliable enough that they've never had to redesign it.

The 737 is not uncomfortable because it is narrow but because it is not tall enough. The circular fuselage makes it so.

The much smaller Embraer 195 is vastly more comfortable than the 737 because it is shaped according to the passengers.

A clean sheet design for the 737 would have a big positive impact for the industry. Today it is another reason to take the bus.

If you mess up quoting, a lot of things break when you're presented with "funny" input. If you get quoting right, you stop worrying about the things OP mentions. Instead of limiting the input creating more mess and a new set of compatibility issues, it's important that designers get the quoting/input encodings of their languages/platforms/shells fixed.

> Does AWS GCP, Azure use them?

No. Cost / value is not in alignment there. You want your servers to be cheap and disposable.

Plus lose the control plane and you lose all the blades within it. There's just no value to it unless you're doing workloads that benefit from a high degree of locality. Cloud services focus on having their networks be as fast as possible so as to reduce the disadvantage of not being highly local.

Oracle (my employer), and AWS have been announcing various HPC cloud products where we're starting to focus on highly local, servers with fast interconnects, and it's still not looking at blades. HPC workloads are rather untapped by clouds so far, and it's a big market.

I’m 33, when I was ~17 I took a discrete math course. During class teacher posed a challenge- to find algorithm for minimal number of cross beams to make an n by m lattice rigid, so it can’t flex like a parallelogram because triangles are fixing angles. I was asleep, realized I was dreaming, and decided to “work” on the problem. I found a solution, woke up and wrote it down. I think it was helpful to be dreaming because usually I cannot visualize more than simple shape, but while dreaming, I could try things out without using paper and pencil.
Went back to the well for marketing reasons. Keeping the shape, but only the shape, so they could use the 737 name.

This means Sketch is now tied to VC’s revenue growth demands. Framer went down the same path of VC megabuck-driven development and a vocal part of the community seems unhappy with the outcome.

A few years back, the Sketch founder made a convincing case in interviews for why the product is better off when they’re bootstrapped... This turn of events suggests they might be feeling the heat from well-funded competitors like Figma and Invision.

I would add that Idiocracy's theme was the dumbing down of society, but in spite of society's failings the democratic government continued functioning well in working on the citizen's best interests.

That's arguably far worse than Idiocracy's central theme.

I recently got a new laptop and finally made the decision to free myself from Adobe Fireworks. It was a hell of a tool and the fact that it hadn't been updated in nearly a decade and was still doing its job is a testament to its ability to scratch a certain UI design itch.

I'm using Sketch now and find it to be very good. There are a lot of great features in Sketch that don't exist in Fireworks and I've been slowly getting better and better with it. I have a difficult switching tools, especially something like Fireworks that I had been using for about 15 years, maybe even longer!

What I miss in Sketch is the ability to do non-UI work effectively. Fireworks almost sits in the middle of Photoshop and Sketch. You could even do some light vector work in there, all while eliminating the massive confusion newbs have when opening up Photoshop or Illustrator.

There's several companies that will do large scale bespoke-design server manufacturing and assembly work.

Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft et al. all order servers through them that are built to specifications their hardware engineers have designed (usually in collaboration with them). Once you get above a certain scale, the value proposition of OEMs goes out the window.

> I would think the dense mass of the pan slowly becomes hot and holds a fair bit of heat.

It doesn't work that way. The thermal conductivity of glass is so low, the heat doesn't have a chance to spread before being lost to radiation and conduction to the contents of the pan. Glass has high emissivity, and it's at least somewhat transparent, so heat rapidly radiates from the whole bulk of the material. The result is scorching hot spots directly over the flames or coils, while the rest of the pan remains too cool to cook.

Glass also has relatively low volumetric heat capacity, meaning a layer of glass holds much less heat than the same thickness of steel or aluminum.

Glass really has the worst combination of characteristics for stovetop cooking. There's a reason nobody uses it.
That sucks, I bought Pyrex specifically because I thought it was borosilicate. Never another Pyrex for me. I assume my Pyrex labware is ok.
If you say so, sure.

At least the author put in the time to present his case.
The 737 is a great example of a Ship of Theseus, years of small changes have left barely anything of the original besides the name... and the type certificate.
Pilots can fly planes with unusual characteristics when properly trained. That is the point of the type rating. I feel the 737 MAX needs its own type certificate distinct from the rest of the 737s and that should solve the problem, since the MAX has very different flight characteristics in certain situations.

Either that or ground the plane permanently for being poorly designed and unsafe with any amount of training.

If the FAA does anything else, it will harm my faith in the organization, which is already at a recent low.

NB: Jet pilot, not 737 pilot.
I assume that you are mainly discussing undergrad education. In that case, the way to pressure universities to be accountable is by not going to such universities, as you imply in your first paragraph: "Their goal is to get the university more money and more students". So don't go to such universities. They will lose students. Losing undergrad students won't directly impact research funding, but it will have an impact at any public university.

I could maybe see Netflix as an example of what the author was talking about, but how exactly does Apple fit in there? Apple is all about branding and mass-market appeal.

FWIW I had the same thoughts as the GP while reading the article. Look at the examples that it gives for brand fragmentation: Halo-Top, Talenti, So Delicious, Ciao Bella, and Coconut Bliss.

Talenti is a subsidiary of Unilever. Ciao Bella is 50% owned by Sherbrooke Capital Management. So Delicious is produced by WhiteWave which is owned by Danone (Dannon).

I think the article makes some good points, but ultimately gets a bit too cute trying to paint "information abundance" as the cause for all the discussed structural changes.
I really don’t see how sketch has any less than 1m users. It’s so ubiquitous across the industry. It was the first photoshop “killer” in the market and that really made people switch from CS/CC. Schools are now starting with sketch instead of illustrator for product and UI design. It’s a massively popular product already. I don’t see why they need the series A and I also don’t see what good can come from it.
>And that's great, if you're into generic beige boxes.

>All we've gotten from the desktop side in the last 20 years is more elaborate giant plastic enclosures, LED lights inside the computer, and...?

Have you ever built an ATX computer? I assure you, there are plenty of different standard form factor cases out there. The beige box thing was in vogue in the 90s, but today the big trends are sleek black with tempered glass.

And standard form factor desktop does not equal giant tower. You could also do a mini ITX build, a standard that's been around since 2001 for what it's worth.

High DPI displays? This implies high end displays weren't available to desktops first (they were.) A decent CRT could produce much higher DPI than LCDs could (in that era.) Part of the reason why Windows DPI independence sucks is because Microsoft implemented it super early in, without all of the insights Apple had to do it right, and now there's like 4 different DPI mechanisms in Windows.

All in all I'm not sure what really needs "innovating" so badly with desktop form factor. Do we need to solder our RAM to the main board, is that "innovation?"

You kind of say it yourself:

>that has zero to do with the ATX standard,

So would be the case for any form factor standard. It only dictates how things interoperate.
They might remain a person insofar as they think in language and in other ways exist in reference to a community even if everyone else is dead—in this view, they might also lose their personhood as they become another kind of being after dissociating from human community.
That's right, no one really uses these kinds of filenames anyway unless they are an attacker. Supporting them simply makes it easy to end up with security vulnerabilities, and it also makes it harder to write code. Let's make things easy.

One of the studies showing insect loss was done in Puerto Rico, where pesticide use has gone down in the last several decades, one of the few places in the world with that pattern.

We cannot use organic farming to feed the world population at it's current size. Food production has multiple requirements, and land use is the weakness of organic farming.

The best way to reduce land use, climate altering gasses, pesticide use, and pollution, in agriculture is, hands down, eliminating meat from your diet. This is because about 70% of all agricultural land use in the US for to producing meat. By eliminating meat production it had been suggested that we can cut agricultural land use by 40-50%.
