The watch market must be pretty small these days considering everyone has the time on their smartphone...

The only people I see wearing watches are business people who wear suits to work or work outdoors (people in the military). That's only a small percentage of people with a ~$100 product.
What I specifically remember about Google Glass is endless reports of people getting assaulted for wearing them because people were thought they were being recorded.
the amount of people confusing fascism with actual socialism, not just the empty political rethoric used by the nazis in this thread makes me lose all hope in humanity.

facism has aspects based on syndicalism, a subset of the socialism true, but its far from the defining characteristics of a true social equalization. syndicalism (and then facism) is based on categories within a society.

the best definition, used in a trotsky speach, is that facism is "socialism for the upper and middle classes". if you apreaciate the sweet irony you can clearly see why facism can never truly be seen as socialism. if you miss the irony, you should just call yourself alt-rigth.

Intermittency is completely irrelevant because reductions in CO2 can still happen if you switch from coal baseload to load following gas which produces half as much Co2 and is only used when renewables don't produce energy.
Preventing apps from sending data doesn't solve the issue as long as you can use Googles analytics.

You can abuse the analytics event system by encrypting data and submitting it as a string attached to analytic events. These can't be differentiated from normal click tracking.

Deliveroo allegedly attempts to reduce headcount for funding round
Monads in my experience are less likely used for IO than people think. Of course Haskell developers use monads in this way, but OCaml and Scala programmers generally avoid this.

Instead monads are used to unify the foundation of many types: options, lists, trees, etc. Also monads are really nice for futures and parsers.

The point I’m trying to make I guess is that monads are very useful for other things than dealing with impurity, which I think a lot of people just learning them miss.

You'll need to answer real practical questions like the UK currently faces: who will build the proposed reactors and who will pay how much for it. It's not like this is an easy question, just check the news the UK from the past few years, with Hitachi and Toshiba giving up.

France's state owned nuclear industry builds another plant in the UK - with a proposed cost of 20bn pounds... The decision for this reactor took almost ten years.

Social Media Is Making Us Numb to Tragedy – OneZero
The reason to be optimistic about renewables is they have a proven track record of improvement. These experience curve effects are somewhat mysterious, but they've been shown to occur in a wide variety of industries.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experience_curve_effects#The_e...

Solar has declined in price by 20% (or perhaps a bit more) for each doubling of cumulative production. This empirical observation has been sustained over a history during which solar's cost has declined by more than two orders of magnitude. Wind has showed similar learning effects.

Nuclear, on the other hand, has not shown consistent experience effects (or, arguably, any, if one discard as unreliable the numbers from South Korea).

Talk is cheap, but renewables have actually demonstrated, in the real world, that they get cheaper as they are built out (and, if anything, the learning rate has increased recently). Nuclear proponents are hanging the future of their technology on the assumption, unsupported by much of anything, that these real world trends will suddenly switch places.

I think systemd is a bad thing but I also don't think pre-systemd init systems were a "good product".
Not yet. But if you extrapolate out the cost of solar. using the historical experience curve, as it builds toward tens of TW of installed global capacity it could get there.
Minidiscs were only popular in Japan. They had limited success everywhere else.
Moonshots would be cool if they were actually aiming at the Moon, not just churning out websites only incrementally different from other websites. I do wonder how much this churn contributes to the West not being able to do any actual moonshots.

Smartwatches are not "moonshots". They shouldn't be treated as such. They could be a component of one, though, and society would benefit from components being economically stable, instead of imploding after few years. Pebble was arguably the sanest smartwatch design out there - long battery life, power-efficient screens, hackable[0]. Because they suddenly wanted to get too big too fast, the world today does not have any smartwatch of comparable quality and utility.

But AMD also increased the number of general-purpose registers from ~6 in x86 (eax to edx and the not fully general purpose esi, edi, esp, ebp) to ~16 in AMD64 (rax to r16). ARM has ~32.
"Robin Mills, CEO of Dubai-based energy consultancy Qamar Energy, has projected that Barakah will supply energy at a cost of roughly 11 U.S. cents per kilowatt-hour, assuming the startup delays are not substantial. (All four reactors are scheduled to be operating by 2021.) Mills regards that as inexpensive for low-carbon power that can be ramped up as demand increases. But solar is now even cheaper in the Gulf region, where the same intense sun that keeps the seawater hot puts solar power plants on steroids. “Solar has become the lowest-cost source of electricity compared to pretty much anything,” says Mills."

Some comfort can be had in knowing that some of the soul or atheistic moved on into golang. Though I imagine the joy of using golang to pale in comparison to the experience of using an os so orthogonally constricted, as well as creating hybrid programs via file based plumbing. If Plan 9 was the dominant os for the last decade, I think the very feeling of being on a computer would be different— similar to the way that sitting in front of a windows 10 desktop, an iPhone, a RPi, a Mac II or C64 are all so different.

the energy density would be a factor if we had any actual space issues. But the area needed for solar and wind is not what is the problem.

Charlie Munger – The Psychology of Human Misjudgement (Full Speech)
The 1.6 gigawatt Olkiluoto 3 EPR has cost 5.5 billion and the building has taken 14 years so far (it's not ready yet). And this is happening in a high functioning low corruption country.

The lightbulb wasn't the real invention - it was the lightbulb making machine that had the real impact on the world.

The same way, we need a way to safely, quickly and cheaply build and operate nuclear power plants. The way might be small modular reactors, something like 200 megawatt sized. They can be built in well controlled circumstances in a factory. Installation on site should be fast. Currently, a nuclear power plant construction requires lots of welding and concrete casting. In these projects it is slow and expensive because of extra safety needs and regulations. On site construction should be minimized instead.

One could run multiple smaller reactors in one site so safety areas would not be greatly increased. Emergency and maintenance shutdowns would have smaller impact on the grid than currently with multiple gigawatt sizes.

With smaller reactors, innovation and experimentation should also be a lot faster. If you build one reactor every 20 years, you don't get a lot of incremental innovation.
When I read it I thought of this definition of executive:

A person with senior managerial responsibility in a business organization. Suitable or appropriate for a senior business executive[0]

The actual content was a bit of a surprise/different than my expectations based on the title but may not have been intentionally misleading. Consider this article title:

Top Manager fired from Facebook, alleges pregnancy discrimination

With the content being something like:

Alice, a top project manager in charge of development for an upcoming internal tool for Spanish speaking Facebook employees, alleges her termination was due to discrimination.

Again, pregnancy discrimination is dumb from a legal standpoint, a cultural/employee motivation standpoint, a PR standpoint and generally just bad practice all around. I am simply discussing how the article title seems to frame this as a higher level Netflix internal problem when it seems likely this is just one bad actor who had autonomy over a project and abused his authority.

This is biased for two reasons :

- there are also poor people in rich countries, but they are offered a price based on a country global metric

- smartphone applications in app stores are also software development, but they are not priced according to geolocalization as far as I know (correct me if I'm wrong)

This is discrimination based on countries, and it's unfair and economically unsound from my point of view. This definitively looks like a shady scheme to make more money justified by a biased reasoning.
Yeah I'm not even sure that pitching it for business productivity would have been enough. The reasons it shines: chat, collaborative editing, blurred lines between documents, emails, and chat – those are built on concepts that didn't exist back then.

Renewables today produce twice as much power as nuclear plants back when Germany had twice as much nuclear than it has now and the share is growing by 4-5% per year. By the time a new nuclear plant is done Germany would be at 90% renewables.

Rolex is a terrible example. On top of their products aiming to last generations (nobody's going to leave Apple Watch to their grandchildren), they're also well known for not reporting any sales figures what so ever.

Nobody can tell you how many Rolexes there are in total, let alone the sales figures of a specific model of a Rolex. That's partially what makes them so valuable. People usually don't change Rolexes every year when the new model is out.

I think it's more likely that we all know the one guy who bought a used Toyota or Honda and did have a significant problem. No one can assess the health of a car perfectly. You make a purchase with some broad averages in mind.

That's also what sets the used car market, of course. Is that specific Audi or Range Rover going to cost more in maintenance than that Honda or Toyota over the next 5 years and 50K miles? I can't say. Are those 20 Audis/Range Rovers going to cost more than those 20 Honda/Toyotas? I'd bet a large fraction of my net worth on it!

I'm not sure where the idea that most working-class people have $17K lying around to drop on a new car, so they can avoid carrying insurance/worrying about dings comes from, but it doesn't match my anecdotal experience with solid, working-class people.

Our family could relatively easily afford any non-exotic car, paying cash for new. The last 3 cars we bought were a 1998 Mercedes diesel with 188K mile on it, a 2005 CR-V with 167K miles on it, and a 2014 LEAF (new, with $10K in tax credits on it). Over that ~10 year period, I bet I haven't spent $4K on maintenance across that fleet and still have the Honda and LEAF. Only significant repair was Honda clutch ($1500), tires ($600), then a bunch of wear items (serpentine belt tensioner, brakes, a battery, an exhaust repair $400, wipers), and oil changes. The items with dollars above are farmed out; the routine wear items and oil changes I do in the driveway.
This guy had skills and good education though. Unskilled people most likely become criminals and/or never integrate into society unless the government makes a huge effort for their integration.

Most of the immigrants(at leat those comming over the Mediterranean sea) have been young male with no education. Unfortunately many European countries are not willing or are just not able to commit the effort required to make unskilled immigrants good european citizens.

I don't understand why the EU leaders didn't emphasis the skills requirement more and instead started stupid arguments about religion and culture.

Ah, the Argument from Bad Engineering. If you stop and think real hard I'm sure you could imagine many ways to do this. And they'd be cheaper than trying to run steel mills off nuclear reactors.
Not at all. Many factories are build in the poorest countries because of the cheap labor and quickly, they become less poor. This has prove to work well and the differences are reducing. Maybe not fast enough.
