I don't think it was actually that long ago for law offices. WordPerfect was still a player amongst the general population even at the end of the 1990s, law offices held on for much longer. Complex documents were handled much better in WordPerfect than in Word.

In Portugal you can always buy your way into private schools.

Which is why we value more public school education, because as you say there are entry exams for all alike.

Usually most private schools degrees are seen as someone bought their education instead of earning it.

Then again, each country has a different way at it I guess.

Yeah, SQL in applications that need to be performant and responsive is a huge pain and I have found it to not be worth the effort.

If you don't need performance or responsiveness though you can save a lot of effort except in very simple cases. I've seen it shine in quickly built proof of concept applications and in ad-hoc analytics queries.
I think part of it is just the marketing copy for this site is just, well, bad:

> pi‑top [4] comes with the following: gigabit ethernet meaning faster network storage and access to servers, dual HDMI for two 4k screen displays, 4GB of LPDDR4 SDRAM meaning more applications can run, two USB 3 ports and one USB 2 port for connecting devices and peripherals.

Nothing is listed that isn't part of the Pi 4 itself, while the picture clearly shows a bunch of other ports (what are they?). Later it mentions a "foundation plate" but with no details.

Also, some of the built-in ports are not mentioned:

* one of the USB 2 ports (guessing the case uses it for something?)

* 2-lane MIPI DSI display port

* 2-lane MIPI CSI camera port

* 4-pole stereo audio and composite video port

There's also a project page [1] that shows a camera added, which certainly looks like it uses the on-board camera port, but doesn't make it clear how that works or if the camera is included or not.

Formal Foundations of Serverless Computing
That's a really good question, and reminds me that school choice was never JUST about what the kid(s) wanted. Logistics was usually part of the planning.

Usually at least two of them were in the same school. The oldest three were each 18 months part, and the youngest was three years younger than the next oldest sibling.

I took some, wife took others, ride share, public transportation (the kids in public school rode the city bus). The kids also learned to be okay with the idea that they might not get picked up as soon as school let out, or they might have to get dropped off half an hour (or more) before school started. They learned to deal with it the same way my wife and I did when we were their age.

All of which became phenomenally easier as they got old enough to drive themselves (and their younger siblings).

It was a lot of juggling, but it was still less work than homeschooling all four of them (which we did for a couple of years), and they generally didn't start going completely separate directions until they hit high school age.

> The whole "capitalism will solve it" thing just isn't working.

There's no capitalism in US health care system - you alluded to it yourself with lack of price transparency example. The key issue is medical cartel with AMA at the core who lobby hard to restrict supply of physicians as well as narrow scope of practice for everybody else. As a result you have people having to go through a gatekeeping 500k-a-year dermatologist to get a prescription for $250 creams which you can buy over the counter in the UK for 10 pounds.

Nobody really talks about medical cartel in politics because doctors are popular with average Joe - unlike insurance and drug companies.
It looks nice enough, but like many of these Pi kits (including previous ones from this company) it will likely be somewhat expensive for what is being offered. I've yet to see any of these kits that I thought provided value over just buying a Pi plus separate components online for a reasonably motivated private individual. I think it's just likely really hard to get a reasonable margin on a product like this and keep the retail pricing sane.

I can for sure see environments that this might be attractive, such as education etc, but if you are a vaguely capable software engineer you are almost always far better off just buying a raw Pi and the electrical components you would like separately. There is so much information out there that even a novice can quickly educate themselves on what they might need for a given project.

It depends on your ARPU/month. 5,000 customers at $49.99 is 1c/customer/month just for email capability.

There are some industries like Game Development where only one or two emails are sent to the entire distribution list per year.

If you're collecting emails on game announcement at month 0, and releasing at month 24, for an average Indie game at $14.99, deducting 30% platform commission, Mailchimp costs alone represent 2.1% of your net revenue per customer - pretty extreme.
Thanks! Trevor from the DebuggAR team here.

Lots of use cases - If you have spent extra time rifling through your board files and datasheets to figure out which pins on which components are tied to the 3.3V rail, or where a particular resistor or IC is located on the board, or the correct part number and orientation of a component during PCB assembly, then our tool would be a good fit.

Our tool uses augmented reality to instantly show you where any signal runs on the board, the location, pinout, and value for any component (IC, passives, connectors, etc.), and allows you to visualize traces and components on any layer or side of the board - and so much more.

So certainly debugging, rework, and assembly. Also in education, as people are getting their hands dirty with PCBs for the first time - being able to keep you eyes and hands on the board while seeing which signals run where on the board, where easy areas to probe are, etc., is incredibly useful.

I agree with this, I'm not sure why I'm being downvoted for asking though because I think anyone would be curious to read personal testimony of their own situation. I would question myself if taking advantage of being in a country that strips social programs for keeping wages high for skilled employees. It's not like paying taxes negates that reality.

Our local transit system installed video boards showing arrival times for the next trains.

When I implement progress bars I most often implement "pessimistic progress", so "considering all timeouts, worst case we are 46.5% (of the time) to some result", with an update every few hundreed milliseconds. As possible mix in data from completed subtasks.

Nobody ever complains if the process suddenly speeds up because progress was made before the timeout, as long as your initial estimate wasn't absurd (looks at Windows Explorer). Even a naive progress bar counting down the 60s timeout is more informative and satisfying to watch than an endless spinner.
> It's really hard to figure out how much of your taxes goes specifically towards health care, but we put a significant amount of effort into a calculation a few years ago and came up with a number in the same ballpark as the premiums for a very good private plan in the US.

The magic is that everyone gets this healthcare. Not only those able to afford the premiums for a very good private plan. On the one hand this is straight socialism. On the other it prevents bankruptcy (and downward economic mobility) due to serious health issues and allows access to quality healthcare to students, entrepreneurs, those between jobs, etc.

I don't understand how someone in the US can consider themselves more "free" than in more socialist countries when they're deeply beholden to their employers for basics like medical care.

Sure, but the "if it wasn't for our military you'd all be speaking Russian/German" angle is about as relevant to arguments that European countries are better than the US at promoting public health as "if it wasn't for our colonialism you'd all be speaking Native American" is to arguments that Silicon Valley is better than Europe at promoting VC-led innovation and growth. US military spending is not the reason the US politicians and political culture has chosen to prioritise tax cuts and healthcare middleman profits over citizens dying of preventable diseases over the last half century

The US could have been a Great Power and built a better public healthcare system.

This is true.

> The key issue is medical cartel with AMA at the core,

The AMA has basically zero power over any of the issues you describe.

> AMA lobbies hard to restrict supply of physicians as well as narrow scope of practice for everybody else.

No, the number of physicians is limited by the number of residency programs, which is determined by how much funding there is. Residency programs are not self-sustaining, so they're funded by Medicare.

> As a result you have people having to go through a gatekeeping 500k-a-year dermatologist

Most physicians take home a lot less than you'd think. The gross salary is misleading, because physicians also have high licensing, insurance, equipment, and continuing education costs. The gross pay does not take these expenses into account, and furthermore, these expenses are typically not tax-deductible for most physicians.

It varies heavily by region and specialty, but the average (not top - average) physician in a city like New York or San Francisco actually has a lower take-home pay than a mid-level FAANG engineer[0] in either city.

This is most likely not related to the Article 13 (now called Article 17) as they are still most likely to be considered to be a UGC platform.

The directive [0] says:

"The services covered by this Directive are services, the main or one of the main purposes of which is to store and enable users to upload and share a large amount of copyright-protected content with the purpose of obtaining profit therefrom, either directly or indirectly, by organising it and promoting it in order to attract a larger audience, including by categorising it and using targeted promotion within it."

Considering that Spotify, Apple, Tidal, Pandora, ... get their catalogues from services like CD Baby or Tunecore, they are very likely to meet the condition above.

So my guess the shutdown will be related to some external pressure, from the major labels and/or the partners mentioned above.

Back in the day it wasn't a bug, but rather more of a cheat to make your system feel faster than it really was: if the system actually gave the UI a fair share of CPU cycles, the system would feel incredibly sluggish. Conversely, if it gave the UI the lions share of CPU, nothing would ever get done in the background. So it compromised and gave the UI preferential treatment when the user was active (i.e. when there was recent mouse/keyboard activity), and a more fair allocation when they weren't so other things could get done.

> especially if it had a relevant GPU

For basic learning on somewhat larger datasets (sub-TB), I have found that my 750 TI SC GPU has been very adequate; the only time I maxed it out was while doing "live training" of a tensorflow CNN from images generated from a driving simulator - so I was using part of the GPU for 3D rendering, and part of it for the training. This was for some "self-driving vehicle" experimentation...

But running the model against the same simulation (that is, having the model drive instead of watching me drive and learning) actually used much less GPU; while I wasn't getting stellar frame rates in either case, they were adequate for the purpose.

I'm just mentioning it, because many people assume you have to have a crazy amount of compute power with a GPU for ML tasks right off the bat (and the associated higher costs of such a system), when in reality that may not be the case (depending on what you are doing and how you are doing it), and you can get away a lesser system.

Where I ran into problems with my GPU, though, was in the case of training using larger datasets (that is, non-streaming) - I couldn't fit them all in the GPU's memory (I think the card only has 1 GB), and so I had to do a batch system - and while it worked well, it was a lot slower because of shuffling data to and from the GPU.

But for my learning purposes, it still did a fine job IMHO; of course, if I were doing such tasks for actual analysis or other "professional" (and paying) purposes, a better card would definitely be in order.

In the US we called this "the melting pot". It doesn't matter what your ethnicity was before you moved here, your traditions and beliefs get integrated into American society so you are just an American.

This sort of thing has had a lot of pushback lately from well meaning but IMHO misguided folks who complain about "cultural appropriation".

You aren't asked to forget your cultural traditions, you're asked to bring your neighbors into them. To share the culture. But also to admit that the edges are probably going to be sanded off and you're going to see people from outside of your group participating.
>By requiring cutting edge and practically non existent technology, it somewhat requires a monopoly by the one company that can do it (YouTube, or do it the best because there is no perfect filter). And the EU will then turn around and fine them for being too big.

It doesn't really require a monopoly or any advanced technology at all in fact: there's nothing requiring anyone to offer music online in digital download form. They could just go back to only distributing it on CD, or even cassettes or vinyl. The rules are all because some parties really want to distribute music over the internet, and lots of consumers want this too. Remember, as someone else here said, the politicians are mostly dinosaurs, and to them, you don't need to download music when you can just go to a store and buy it.
