Barrier to entry has just been lowered drastically by open sourcing those patents. It's not about charity at all, it's about creating a market. By opening these patents to possible competitors, they are helping other companies enter the EV space. Toyota wants to dominate the EV vertical, but there needs to be more people buying them long-term for them to make a crap-ton of money. This is their way of helping create the market for the future.
Somehow, but the end user experience is very different.

I own both an N9, which I still use as an alarm clock, and a Pixel.

The N9 alarm clock is incredibly smooth, and intuitive. You never over or underturn clock hands. Whereas I have seen lots of people, particularly my dad, struggling with the Android counterpart.

The N9 was an incredibly well designed product in most respects. I particularly miss the small screen with a curved glass that integrated so well with single-hand gestures (up to minimize app, down to close, left and right to move to next or previous window-card).

It’s just lazy when the interviewer benchmarks the interviewe against their own knowledge. I was once interviewing for a QR position at a supposedly prestigious company and the guy was asking me questions such as “what is the latest MacOS version number?” What that tells me is that they promote on non relevant criteria so I declined their offer no matter how “competitive” their compensation was.

On the other end of the spectrum I don’t understand why some ask questions such as:
“If you were a ..., which ... would you be?” (E.g. candy bar, kitchen appliance, etc.)

A job that supports the worker in taking an efficient, stress free form of transport in to work is a "proper" job.

A job that pays so little that they'll skimp on their commute every single day is not a "proper" job.

I know people in London who take multiple buses in to work in the morning rather than using the tube. It takes them significantly longer. It's cheaper.

They do it because they don't have "proper" jobs; their employers don't care about them.
Except that the store itself is a deterrent, for a whole laundry list of reasons you can seek elsewhere.

8K TVs are a silly thing. Forget about the lack of 8K content at the moment, there are actually very few contexts in which an 8K TV works[0].

There are two formulas for a monitor that conflict here: one controls the optimal distance that allows your eyes to resolve all the detail, and one that controls how close to the TV you’d be comfortable sitting.

For 8K displays there’s basically no overlap between these formulas. With a 65” TV you would have to be closer than 4.3’ to the screen to tell any difference between a 4K and 8K TV. The ideal distance to detect all those extra pixels is a neck hurting 2’.

Given the trend towards bigger TVs, I seriously doubt there are many homes where an 8K would even be detectable by a human, let alone ideal. I personally suspect that most users aren’t close enough to their TVs to resolve all the detail from a 4K tv, let alone an 8K.

0 - Computer monitors are the exception here. While most users don’t sit close enough to their monitors to resolve every detail in a 8K screen, they do sit close enough to tell the difference between a 4K and higher resolutions. My uneducated guess is that a 5-6K monitor is probably close to the upper practical limit for computer monitors.

I was going to agree with you, but then my last name is Watson :-)

Seriously, I used IBM Watson on a consulting project a little over two years ago and I was disappointed. To be fair I should take another look. IBM has bought some good companies whose work is exposed in BlueBiz and other web services and the permanent free tier levels they give away rival the free tier levels from GCP.

I think AutoML and auto data science web hosted offerings will be a huge market with right now Google, Amazon, and Microsoft leading the way. If I worked at IBM in a position of power, I would work hard to create a great developer experience for simplifying the use of machine learning, NLP, etc.

>Transient bacteremia of P. gingivalis can occur during common activities such as brushing, flossing, and chewing, as well as during dental procedures (19), resulting in documented translocation to a variety of tissues including coronary arteries (20), placenta (21), and liver (22). A recent study found that 100% of patients with cardiovascular disease had P. gingivalis arterial colonization

That’s extremely interesting. 100% of patients with heart disease.

I’ve heard flossing may help prevent alzheimers, due to fighting gum disease. This article talks about translocation. Once bacteria has made it into the body, is it too late for gums to have any effect? Or is it more like a total bacterial load: if the gums are continuing to infect the body, the other parts of the body must fight harder to keep the invading bacteria at bay?

Edit: of course, we should know how many patients of a similar age without heart disease had p. Gingivalis in their arteries
I use bucklescript/reasonML extensively.

Firms usually have diversified holdings and will use the event like this to write-down losses and optimise taxation for the next year.

Where this is a problem is for people with undiversified holdings, such as early employees exercising stock options. Under current system, they are on the hook for the tax bill, but if the stock crashes next year, they’d lose out and likely not having any offsetting gain where the loss could be a shield. Unlike the said firms.
I don't mean to be rude, but I suspect you might have misread the comment you've replied to.
I agree. A better title for the article might be something like "wealthy individuals in the UK matter; others merely exist as distractions".

For my entire adult life this has been the case, Labour or Conservative. I'm not sure how far back you'd have to go for it to be different (if ever).

You can get faster than memcmp by rolling your own SSE/AVX compare.

memcmp typically has a few branches and instruction cachelines of just trying to verify that it's running on aligned memory and checking how aligned (ie 8byte stride vs 64 byte stride). All that can be skipped with a for-loop of intrinsics if you the programmer know alignment characteristics the compiler cannot infer.

Germany will just continue to cheat and import from France during lulls. Either that or they will just burn natural gas. Renewables (excluding dams because they aren’t supported by zealots) for base load are a complete fantasy. Pumped storage and batteries are so inefficient that we can’t switch without quintupling electricity costs for everyone.

>It'll happen eventually. Nuclear is in no position to make it happen any quicker than renewables are though.

Renewables are not competitive with nuclear for base load, at all. That’s why “environmentalists” conveniently allow the burning of coal and gas for the base load while they sit around waiting on a miracle for storage. Nuclear is a solution that works now. Hoping for storage tech 50 years from now is just stoking the fossil fuel burn.
Just an anecdote from Hawaii. We used to have steady and regular trade winds that would keep the humidity at bay, thus making AC a "nice to have" rather than a "really want to have." That's changed as the climate change has shifted the trade wind patterns and given us plenty of more days in the year without this natural air conditioning.

I suspect the time will come when trade wind days are the exceptions.
Yes, I know. Check out the very first sentence of my comment:

> For this thesis, you need to show that movable type in specific, rather than printing in general, was necessary and sufficient for the scientific revolution.

My whole point is that movable type doesn't offer much in the way of civilizational advantages compared to block printing, so it's very odd to attribute Europe's success to its writing system. I agree that it makes sense to attribute the choice of movable type over block printing to the writing system. But saying that this choice "determined the trajectory of history" seems like a stretch. Movable type vs. block printing is a choice of no great consequence.

English pronunciation mentioned together with words “unique” and “unambiguous”―is that a joke? Oh yeah, no way that people pronounce ‘u’ and ‘a’ similarly.

“There are 6 unambiguous 1-letter vowels”―since when are vowels in English unambiguous? English writing should properly be classified as logographic, since you can't know how a word is pronounced from its spelling, or vice-versa.

Has the author ever communicated his own middle and last names in a phone call? A big benefit of numeric identifiers in the first place is that it's easier to dictate them without error. Even in my native phonemic language, with words or letters it's too often back to the Folks' Phonetic Alphabet: “No, D as in Dmitry.”

> The families often are in almost some sort of denial

It was like pulling teeth to try to get doctors to tell me anything realistic.

I don't get the impression that anyone in the medical community is trying to change this.

Unlike my other family members, I had seen this person once a month obviously deteriorating in line with what every prognosis and statistic would say. My other family members were there every day and couldn't or weren't willing to see the progression. This isn't a movie with a pleasant ending. The only hope is for the suffering to end, from my perspective, and in hindsight, yes, it was a spot on analysis.

With regard to the doctors, now that part was just like in the movies. They hemmed and hawed and made sad empathic expressions, but didn't explain the possibilities at all. They just assume everyone is in a state of stupor, they probably assumed my rapid conclusions were some desensitized state of shock, just as they assumed my other family members clinging to hope was an equally dismissible state of denial.
I just said whether or not it’s available isn’t the only metric but whether people want to eat it or not. Which plays far more into revenue than just margins.

I am doing so on Linux, and with the (relatively old) games I play I have no problems.

> they've never been cheaper

But that's the thing. They're not "cheaper" when you account for the fact that you're basically renting them from an unreliable platform that may go down at any time or perhaps deny you "availability" for unknown reasons. And games are actually one of the best cases since DRM-free platforms are reasonably well-established. Other sorts of media are a lot worse off from that POV.
which is awesome. Application complexity is harder to solve than deployment/infrastructure complexity. And more often the cloud providers would solve the deployment complexities over time.
In the case of natural resource boons, where what is happening, in an economic sense, is the benefit of hundreds of millions to billions of years of natural capital appreciation extracted with no realised economic cost. This is a vast unbooked. cost, but still a real one. Separation taxes reimpose this in part.

Most other cases of competitive advantage lack this element, though network-based superiority resembles it in parts (comms, transport, trade, urbanisation, IT, banking, military & political power).

Well, AFAICR at the time (on the same hardware) BeOS ran circles around any Windows OS, including Windows 98 (and besides both NT 4.00 and 2000), particularly with graphics and web/browser.

And (again on same hardware) it was if not faster, much more pleasant to the eye than most Linux distros.

Surely it needed less memory and processor power than the competitors or however felt on limited resources very "snappy".
