Why would you use a three-inch screen at all (when you are using 4G or higher)?̊̈

Well, iPhone XS Max is 6.5 inch, Galaxy Note 9 is 6.3 inch, Galaxy S10 Plus is 6.4 inch. Most phones used in South Korea are at least 5 inch or bigger.

Korea's 1440x2960 counts 11.68% out of all smartphone users, 1440x2560 counts 19.03%. 1080x1920 counts 29.21%.

That's 60% of all smartphone users.

Then, there comes the need for 1080p/HDR mobile videos (think Netflix!).

The Steelcase Leap is my personal favorite office chair of all time, but it retails for around $1,000.00. You can sometimes find them for cheaper if a company gets liquidated and is offloading their old equipment.
There are very few situations in which a person who claims to be a previously anonymous individual could prove their bona fides without a shadow of a doubt.

And this is one of those situations. There are multiple ways that the real Satoshi could prove their identity, but somehow, Craig Wright has either lost of of them, or they're locked up in some strange escrow with a super-secret board of lawyers or some such nonsense.

Occam's Razor. If ever there was a good application of the principle, it's here.

Also, Craig Wright doesn't have the technical understanding to have written the Bitcoin implementation. Listen to him speak. If you're honest with yourself, and if you code, you'll realize that he's likely never written much running code at all, much less a full implementation of a complex cryptographic and network protocol.

But these are the kinds of guys who unfortunately make it past interviews on the strength of their "dazzle'em with bullshit" approach to interviewing, and that have caused the current situation where most of us have to spend months reviewing our DS and algorithms notes before new interviews.
You could, but it would be more difficult (though easily within the ability of the NSA).

IMO there does not exist a perfect balance to be maintained. What defines balance is context, and you are eternally gaining new context. Hindsight often is a perceptive trap insofar that when looking back, you perceive it to have been possible to have known then what you know now and thus resolve that the path to perfection is in having a perfect plan. This is false. There was not a way for you to have known what was then the future before it came to pass.

So, what I personally do is just get started with whatever approach with the full knowledge that I will forever be refining and adding to that approach. Routinely check in with your context, what you are doing, and how those are informing each other and interacting to produce the results you are getting. For example, if you find that you are losing too much time journaling, do less of it. Figure out why, though. Maybe it is because work is busier than usual. Retain this information because it will allow you to make plans that are closer to perfect.

Basically what I'm saying is just get started. Moving in a direction is what is important, not necessarily getting to any place in particular. Understand what you are doing, and make sure you keep updating that understanding and remain fundamentally humble to the fact that you'll never strike a perfect balance.

Sure, you’re absolutely right. They could. And in small ways, that’s already happening. Lots of people on Facebook and Instagram post their food & vacations & friends. Work chatter on social networks is there but (perhaps?) not as prominent as pics and stories from work.

That said, I think it’s a mistake to underestimate how deeply ingrained work is in our culture, or to underestimate how hard it will be to change. People judge each other’s status by work and wealth, the education system is designed for careers both private and academic. The extremely pervasive beliefs that struggle and hard work are required for people to learn things well, and that competition is required for survival and optimal markets, and that good financial management skills only come from earned money, and that expertise only comes from years of experience, these are all part of the big burrito that jobs are part of. It’s a burrito that will be hard to take apart. Not impossible, but very hard. Jobs aren’t required for those ideas to be true, but today they are tightly wrapped together.
The formula computes ZbRa; z axis vs radius. So yes, I believe this is symmetric around the center.
As far as I could tell, the experience was "it installs, then I got bored with the tutorial, and 'I realize I have no need to learn Python' so I'm going to look at fancy and cool technology I truly care about."

I followed the link because, as someone who teaches Python to non-software developers, I wanted to read more about the views of an outsider just getting started with the language.
Right but the type certification has nothing to do with why it’s designed the way it is. You seem to think they started with “maintain type certification uber alles” as their goal, when it was actually just a happy consequence of their goal, which was “sell airlines an airframe the same size as current 737s, so they can keep using the same height gates and service vehicles as their vast 737 fleets, but make it much more fuel efficient”

The fucking name isn’t the problem. Trying to work fuel efficiency into too small a package and ending up with something with the stall characteristics of a brick is the problem. Creating it as a “new airframe” fixes the problem only by abandoning the problem they set out to solve, which again, wasn’t “keep the name”.

If this had been the 797 from the getgo, but had tried to put those engines on any airframe that stayed that low to the ground for gate compatibility, they have still needed the MCAS because of the aerodynamics of the necessary engine placement.

Remember that the 737 is such a big seller because it has huge usage on regional routes and in smaller countries. It lands at airports where they still wheel up a set of stairs, or one of those double-decker deplaning buses. The height is a big deal for established infrastructure of customers. If it weren’t, they could have redesigned the landing gear to get the necessary engine clearance instead of fucking up the aerodynamics by moving the engines.

The height, and not the name, is the original sin from which every shitty consequence flows.

Fair enough: evolution works via both drift selection mechanisms, the latter which may quite suddenly imposed.

My view is that the past century or so may be an increased period of both driftband (through geographic contact) remixing, possibly to be followed by a selection process, whether by civilisation collapse, singularity, or other mechanisms.

In particular, it seems that the dramatic reductions of, e.g., early childhood mortality, represent the lifting of an immense amount of selection. To what end becomes an interesting quesstion.

Progressive Boomers Make It Impossible for Cities to Fix the Housing Crisis
I'm actually amazed at the amount of "we don't need this" attitude in this thread. Is this really just sour grapes [1]?

It feels a bit like moving back to Canada where contactless payments is standard for most transactions, while in US I had to sign a piece of paper for $5 coffee at Starbucks. People in the US have this strange attitude that if it isn't standard in the US then it isn't worthwhile.

How anyone can argue against faster wireless internet connections seems crazy to me. It's like that famous quote (which Bill Gates sternly denies having made) about 640k being enough for anyone.

In a way this is a restatement of the efficient-market hypothesis. If the market is efficient, then a product that is inferior in most or all dimensions will be forced out of the market by one that is superior. Therefore, if you believe in efficient markets and observe that both products are still offered for sale, it's a reasonable inference that the superior product must be inferior in some way that you haven't yet observed.

Usually where this heuristic fails is on the margins, when markets are not efficient and you're observing a change in technology or production techniques. In this case, the correct inference isn't that the product is inferior in some way you haven't observed, it's that the superior product will eventually end up winning and taking over the marketplace.

The real "convergence" is all about bringing the plain old desktop design aesthetic to the smartphone. "Bad network connectivity" is a fiddly modem connection at 300 baud, compared to that what you get on smartphones is excellent.

That said, these days I slightly prefer the much cheaper Ikea Markus with the arm rests removed and angled at approx 135 deg.

This is not a job contract. This is a big company paying you potentially hundreds of millions for your shares in a company. I think a non-compete is pretty warranted, or at least significantly less gross than the same clause in a job contract.

Assuming they're not lying in that these are more seller-favourable terms than any they've seen, you've appare to decided that "better" isn't good enough, we have to burn these people to the ground unless they go all the way to "perfect", whatever that is. If you have experience selling or buying contracts and these terms are comparably bad, then maybe you should include that context.

If these are the reactions companies are going to get, maybe next time they'll think twice about opening stuff like this up to the public.
Sorry, but this "study" is fluff.

I've worked in telecom and for the DOD. There are many people in these organizations whose careers depend on continual telecom infrastructure upgrades, and so they spend their days writing reports like these. They're filled with scare tactics about being left behind, but there's virtually no substantive discussion about the tangible benefits of 5G. There's some vague references to IOT, but this just further discredits the report IMO because IOT data tends to be small, adoption of IOT tends to be overstated, and I've seen no compelling evidence that IOT is threatening to exhaust the capacity of our network infrastructure.

The actual threat here is that there are only three cellular networking companies (Huawei, Ericsson, Nokia), none of which are US-based, and Huawei has taken the lead. But buying a bunch of Ericsson/Nokia equipment and rolling out 5G is not going to fix this.

I worked for one of the three companies in Silicon Valley for several years. They paid a non-competitive salary with no stock options, and eventually the skilled people left for greener pastures. The company survives on hiring naive recent graduates who are here on Visas and have limited job mobility. I don't have high expectations for them, and the U.S. buying more 5G equipment from them will not fix the underlying problems.

It's very much playing itself out in front of you. "Innocent" isn't the same thing as lack of accusation. In the court of public opinion: He's accused of making fraudulent claims. He defends himself. His arguments are shown to be invalid.

>Large tech companies exert negotiating power over founders and selling companies because they can, and stack the deck in their favor with buyer-favorable terms.

A large part of the reason for this is because many sellers are in no position to say no. Many times the seller is actually not profitable and running out of runway and seeking an acquisition as a way for the founders to cash out without having the company go bankrupt. As the old saying goes “beggars can’t be choosers.” If you look at acquisitions where the seller was actually profitable (for example WhatsApp), the sellers were able to get a good deal from the buyer.
