I'm still getting by with my Pebble Time Steel, and I've been watching (no pun intended) Fitbit's releases to see if they're yet up to snuff. It looks like the most recent revision of their smartwatches would work OK for me (and add HR sensor). Don't know if they'll be sufficiently reliable, since this has been a weak spot for Fitbit in years past.

If I'm able to eke out another 2-3 years, I might get an Apple Watch, which would presumably have 3-4 day battery life by then.

Maybe that time they made a mistake?
As kstenerud said, https://n40l.fandom.com/wiki/Memory discusses this issue. More accurately, the comments discuss it, with some reporting your issue. I am among those who've never had problems with detecting 16GB; I use two KVR1333D3E9S/8G.
The Supreme Court decision wasn't at all a failure to understand technology... their ruling basically said "the technology here doesn't matter, it's what the technology does that we are ruling on." Aereo brought arguments around the implementation and the Supreme Court said basically that they didn't care about the implementation.

Toni Okamoto’s book “Plant Based on a Budget” is coming out soon and looks likely to fit the bill.

https://www.amazon.com/Plant-Based-Budget-Delicious-Recipes-...

I’ve been cooking entirely plant based for three years now and cook almost all my own meals. At first I was following recipes but now I just keep a well stocked cupboard and improvise. The results are a little variable but I enjoy cooking this way more. But the basis of my diet is legumes and whole grains with as many fresh fruits and vegetables as I can handle. It’s very cheap to eat this way.
I think this is 1999 for AI. There's some genuine, valid things it works for right now and there's some snake oil. In 10 years, I expect a Windows 98 to iPhone-scale advancement.
This argument, always smugly asserted by folks with parking and cars, is always irritating to me.

The argument that lower income people don’t drive is particularly noxious. Car access is a determining factor for employment and access to upward motion. You can’t get better paying low/moderate skilled jobs without one.

The idyllic urban landscape is as much a fantasy as the suburban paradise. People ditched cities for a reason.

My grandparents lived the sustainable urban way in Queens. They couldn’t afford housing near transit so my grandmother pushed a folding shopping basket to the shopping street every other day. My grandfather had 90-120 minute commute involving at least 3 transfers via transit. It wasn’t fun, and having a car transformed their lives in many ways.

OS/2

A better DOS than DOS

A better Windows than Windows

Microsoft used the OEM tax to force Windows preinstalled than OS/2. Then development dwindled and Microsoft made Visual Studio for Windows.

It is still a good OS and OSFree is trying to open source it.

http://www.osfree.org
Here are some examples of what I liked about using Windows Phone (7, 8):

- The default keyboard is great.

- Jump Lists: Alphabetical list navigation. (e.g. list of contacts, list of installed apps). For quickly getting to letter 'r', you tap one of the letters to bring up a grid with all the letters, then can easily tap which letter you want to get to.
Whereas, iOS has a tiny list of letters on the side. Android sometimes has this tiny list of letters, too. I prefer "1 easy tap, 1 easy tap" is nicer to "1 fine/precise tap".

- Icon-buttons would have labelled text. To save space (I guess), the text was omitted but was still accessible by expanding the menu.

- IIRC, older WP models had a hardware camera button (on the side, for taking pictures or opening the camera app). Later on, the cheaper WP models dropped this.

That said, the lack of apps is what really kills it. :/ e.g. you might only need 2 or 3 apps which you can find on Android or iOS, but not on WP.
There's also the matter of tuning the design. There are features, design decisions, and engine loads you have to reject if you want high reliability. If those fall into faster acceleration, better ride, more convenience, then the luxury market will get them and the economy market won't.
So many great things about modern smartphones came from webOS — the card metaphor, universal search, swipeable notifications. The way they integrated third-party services into the OS was so seamless; I still miss the messaging app that combined texts and conversations from other services into one thread per contact.
I am just guessing here. I feel we will get more connected to biology in the future meaning communication with your cells and what your body is trying to tell you.
Lentils pack a huge nutritional bang for the buck and are very easy to cook. One of my favorite one pot meals is to toss some lentils and brown rice in a pot and simmer for 40 minutes. Just add your own choice of seasonings and some leafy greens on the side and a handful of nuts and you have a very cheap and healthy meal.

a used car is not the same as a beater. Getting a used car that is just a few years old will shave off a good chunk of the depreciation curve in many cases without sacrificing features/reliability.
This feels like a crowded play. It's not fungible enough to really invest in, too many cities are close enough to the ocean to desalinate (expensive, but not that expensive), so you're left with ag use. That said, I'd be mindful of water supplies when looking at any real estate.
Last.fm is still around! Although I guess you could say they didn't succeed, per se.
Nuclear is "not so cheap" either. But even wind and solar with legacy plants for peaking (i.e. something we can do right now without citing fantasy vaportech) is a relatively affordable 80% solution. Nuclear doesn't clear even that bar as it stands.
And your proposal is that these future spiffy reactors will be designed by something other than... humans?

With nuclear energy, the cost and hazards of waste are explicit and priced into running costs. This is as it should be. Fossil fuels get a free ride by comparison.

The more I look I see there are two types of industries out there... those that profit by creating value, and those that profit by shifting the cost onto someone else.

Basic framework here is to look at megatrends that will shape the global economy.

1. Urbanization

More than 60% of the world population will live in cities and existing cities will become bigger ceteris paribus.
I could write a thesis on this but you need to think very broadly about this. A lot of unicorns are playing in this space think Uber, instacart, Zillow etc

2. Global Southern shift
Basically demographic and economic centre of activity is shifting to global South. This is different from southern hemisphere. Pretty much any business focusing on consumption sector in these areas is a good bet. Think FMCG FMEG

3. Ultratrend - climate change
Climate change will play havoc with so many layers of our economic systems. While most people think agriculture, you can also add transportation, manufacturing, renewable energy, reinsurance, fishing, textiles, pharmaceuticals

Any solution that is climate defensible is gold

4.Technology breakthrough

Here an IP defensible stack with a focus a sector or niche in above 4 areas would be a force multiplier.

Here I guess basic framework could be data + operational expertise + combo{ML, AI, serverless computing.. }

Chemical companies could be an interesting bet. There is a lot of work happening in using AI for molecule discovery, process discovery. Any company which cracks this will be the Google of "atoms"

Seems to me it's the opposite. The holdings of the Norway fund are more diversified than any given Australian fund, simply because a larger pie can be sliced up into more slices.

You can view the Norway fund's holdings on their website: https://www.nbim.no/en/the-fund/holdings/holdings-as-at-31.1...

It seems pretty diversified to me!

A larger fund also has advantages for ROI (even putting aside the much lower fees) because you can be a more activist shareholder and invest in more sophisticated ways.

At the time there were no other options in the niche, and it fitted well with what some of us wanted: huge battery life, few features that worked well, lightweight, robust... cheap! Meanwhile Samsung, Garmin etc. went after Apple looking for features at the cost of everything else.

Today there is a myriad of competitors; when pebble.com went down, I bought one with 45 day battery life and otherwise the same features as a Pebble HR+ at the same price, plus GPS. There's third party apps for a few bucks.

I do miss the always-on display and its clarity, but not dealing with the slow and buggy software and lack of sync or ability to export the data. And I have more confidence in Xiaomi being around in a few years, not that it matters with Google Fit, MyFitnessPal and local CSV backups.
American "Pyrex" is actually less vulnerable to hammers than borosilicate. What it lacks is resistance to extreme temperature changes.
This is correct - don't buy cars new, esp. if you're not using it as a status symbol. a low milage (but new-ish) used car is much better value for money.

The fundamental problem here is that what we call ”education” is largely a way to place people into a hiearchy of worth, NOT a way of transmiting knowledge or further peoples understanding of the world.

Rich people see the reality of this and of course want to help their kids ensure a comfortable place in this hierarchy, while the hoi poloi still think’s about getting an education and working hard lol

Maybe we should ask ourselves why/how these people ended up with so much economic power in the first place?

I mean, if the world switches largely to nuclear power, it’s probably fine if small populated islands that don’t have anywhere to store nuclear waste keep using whatever power source they’re using now (or switch to other clean energy sources if possible). There’s no reason to let the perfect get in the way of the better.
> In general, amateur radio transmissions ought to be open and unencrypted -- the equivalent of GPL or public domain.

What are your reasons for that assertion?

Imagine if someone suggested that all noncommercial messages over Wifi should be unencrypted and public domain, because it's a shared resource. They'd be laughed out of the room.

If your concern is about identifying abusers of shared spectrum then simply require that all messages be prefixed with the cleartext/speech sending station code.
Then this doesn't solve GPs problem (being able to communicate with insiders) and leaves the problem of needing to worry about all communication being public. That means people's names, commands, tools, architecture, etc. Which is certainly something I'd be curious about, but there's no good reason to take those risks.
Rising global temperatures will affect 6 major cities
From the original NCD X-terminal to the current Citrix-based smart terminals there's definitely something compelling about putting the compute elsewhere and displaying graphics locally. Nvidia have to be very worried about Google's Project Stream because of the cloud model: someone aggregating compute and render resources means net selling less than when each person has their own.

It also means far less opportunity to exfiltrate data. There would be no Snowden if he had a dumb terminal that refused to mount storage USB devices, for example. I'm kinda surprised the intelligence community didn't go all in on dumb displays for that reason alone.
Thus regulate mandatory re-certified every 10 years. Also that such process must involve meeting or exceeding //current// engineering standards and safety, with the potential for limited exceptions if approved by need and actively in progress plans for achieving the specifications.
