I wonder if the distribution side of the business will ever become profitable. I know the argument is that once they dominate they can start raising prices but these types of business are inherently low margin, competitors will see their profits as an opportunity.
Yeah, it's about products for the most. (Also, what happened with human readable URLs? Even, if you'r driving your single page app on fragment identifiers, you could route them internally based on the path info.)

On a more generally level, I think, it's probably more about amplification vs augmentation, the kind of human-computer symbiosis, what this dialog really is. (Actually, I do prefer Licklider over Engelbart.)
Take for example a middle-aged worker in India, who has now one of those new, cheap, not-that-smart phones on a $2/month mobile plan. S/he connects to streaming services via voice search and communicates by the press of a single button. For the first time in her/his life, s/he's able to reach out on her/his own. This is certainly empowering. There's much to be said in favor of such interfaces on devices like this.

However, Licklider's vision of a human-computer symbiosis was of a completely different nature, of partners in cooperation on equal levels. This was not about amplification in this sense, it was about mutual comprehension and directing work flows, with the later heavily depending on the former. This is the desktop environment. Here, simple amplification models are ultimately doing more harm as they may be convenient.

Now, where are the growing markets, what should a company care about? However, this may be a question and an answer too simple. When will our Indian worker gain access to a laptop? The answer may be quite well, "never". Is this still the same market, the same product, the same network?
I feel that Trump's administration has not considered the ways this will hurt poorer people and especially minorities. Or maybe they did, and went ahead anyway.
Those seem to redirect to the same place.
You can't make something easier to understand by hiding crucial pieces of it. Google's efforts to slowly gut the URL aren't meant to make it easier for people to understand what URL is; they're meant to make addresses look as similar as possible to search queries, so that ultimately they can drop user-visible addresses altogether and route everything through search.
That was a fascinating read, thanks for sharing. It's nice to be reminded that even though the entire world feels accessible, there are still wild places where you can die not due to violence from other people but just because the harshness of the environment.

hmm maybe it's time to think about starting some bussiness? For example, opening a restaurant?

You're pointing out one of the main complaints that's led to PM use. The codebase of electrolysis-Firefox & XUL-Firefox have diverged to that degree. And some of us have found that single-process function and customization features are what we want, not Chrome-lite. For my part, PM loads faster and works longer without crashing my PC than any of the multiprocess browsers.
The average user used a ton of very very un-private things, including all manner of unsandboxed browser plugins.

It was mostly about trust back then. Windows explorer could not keep you safe from exploits, so an average user saw the internet as a somewhat dangerous public place.

Archiving was easy, because we didn't have any of this evil bad awful endless scrolling that I strongly suspects creates low grade anxiety regardless of content.

We had real pages with a URL that you could download. even forums(Which were so much better than social media) were paginated, not scrolled.

Now archiving, decentralization, cryptocurrency, and anonymity are often baked into the same layer.

I'm not going to bother with anything that uses Blockchains and five times the bandwidth, and most privacy centric projects aren't high performance or easy to use.

They often expect you to make some real sacrifices for privacy, without any "compromise modes".

Everyone is really focused on the tech, but most of it's already there. There's tons of anonymity networks out there.

What we really should ask, is why the sites used by the majority of people including tech pros are designed seemingly to encourage anxiety, comparing self to others,and throwaway content?
This might interest me as someone whose job is the absolute other end of the spectrum, in databases and HLLs. Reason is that I'm concerned with CPU performance and that largely depends on caches (after you've done any algorithmic improvements).

The unqualified claim - may I say lie - that CPU time is cheaper than programmer time was never true and never will be[0] because it depends, it depends on the economics, and a surprising amount of my time has been taken up optimising for speed on multicore modern CPUs. Exactly what other people say isn't worth doing, right up until it is - and it often is.

Optimising for speed often means optimising for caches, and that means optimising for size[1], so I'm going to dive into this guy's stuff.

> removing unnecessary parts of the URL makes it easier for less advanced users to understand what the URL consists of, helping them use "traditional web navigation".

How? If the users are supposed to learn "what the URL consists of", how removing and hiding all but one piece of it helps?

It's like saying, "to make postal addresses easier to understand, we'll hide everything except the recipient's name and surname".
I would like to see an initiative like this but with hydrogen fuel cells. I think it would be more complex but more interesting in terms of: certifying road worthiness, since no more dealing with weight of batteries; no lithium-based batteries; more autonomy.

Despite being less efficient in terms of pure energy usage, I think hydrogen-based fuel cell-powered vehicules solve 2 problems for most users: autonomy and time of replenishment (refueling). We just need to invest in solar-based hydrogen generation plants. Hydrogen can be generated on site for replenishment.
this is a quite simple problem to solve.

If the freeriders drain less from the system then it costs to perform measures to counteract them, the system is effective.
All traffic lights I've encountered that are triggered use magnetic triggers and work with bikes. Additionally their failsafe for night operation is to go into yield-traffic mode; the yellow light blinks, indicating that the intersection is no longer governed by the light but by the normal right-of-way. As a last option, you can trigger the pedestrian light manually by getting of your bike.

Dunno about UK. Settling in Poland is not that hard, although no piece of cake either.

I believe you can get a job with the associated temporary residence permit, extend this as many times as necessary to meet the uninterrupted legal stay requirements, then apply for the permanent residence.

Getting citizenship is probably a bit harder but not impossible - about a thousand people get it in Poland each year by the decision of the president.

I don't really get it. Why not just go with ketamine? Is it that the approval takes too much money which other companies could then reuse (the investement does not lead to benefits)?
Unfortunately, as long as the standard response is dismissive like yours, that's what the majority will do. When someone expresses confusion, the goal shouldn't be to send them to the mainstream product, it should be to go back and explain your product more clearly. Stop being an elitist and start recognizing that helping people is a basic requirement of supporting a product or service.
The Little Robot That Lived at the Library
I'm pretty sure filament LED bulbs were invented in China - and patented by their Chinese inventors at the time too. The University of California seem to be suing using broad, trollish patents on things like omitting the rear reflector and allowing LED dies to emit light in all directions. Also, most of the patents were filed after LED filaments became widespread on the market using tricks with patent priority. (The other odd thing is that a lot of LED filaments don't do this - they have a rear reflective metal strip that forms the main structure of the filament.)
From a person's personal emissions point of view, the math could be a bit different. It's something that you as a person can have more an immediate effect on than, say, what kind of district heating fuel your city uses or if your apartment building is doing an energy saving renovation or not. Flying is another case like that - a relatively personal choice.

EDIT: looking at your picture, which is great, it seems almost none of the parts are over 10% alone.

Sure.

There's nothing stopping us from using a lot more GHG-neutral energy. (Eg. nuclear, wind, solar.) We can then use the energy to power whatever processes we want (vertical farms are a lot more efficient than open fields and greenhouses, plus you can put them right next to population centers; beyond meat and impossible foods will be in no time better than the real thing; also if we really want we can simply put pastures under domes to capture the methane, we can put these pastures underground with artificial lights).

Look at how much unemployment there is around the world and how little inflation. This means we are nowhere near total economic output capacity. We can probably double our output if we want, especially if we start doing things on a big scale. (Big scale decarbonization, and eventual carbon capture to offset the remaining GHG emissions.)

Okay, so energy, food, transportation (full EV vehicles), what's next? Shelter. Prefab buildings. Arcologies preferably, because that leaves a lot of green space. After all instead of having an endless sprawl of 2-3 storey buildings it'd be quite better to have parks and ~100 storey ones. And affluent folks like high rises very much.

Standardization of processes drives down cost and increases quality. Yet, naturally, market players don't like that, because with fixed demanded quantity this simply shrinks the market, so they like to sell bespoke solution. (From power plants to housing.) But we are paying a lot more because we are not going big enough. (This applies veeery severely to transportation and other public works [eg power plants again]: https://pedestrianobservations.com/2019/07/22/new-report-on-... )

Furthermore, current UN/WHO predictions about the peak population is around 11-12 billion people, but most (I mean almost 99%) of the growth will happen in developing countries, in cities, and in particular in Africa. And we can make cities a lot more efficient than they are now.

So all in all, currently what stands in the way of providing an affluent Western lifestyle to everyone is global coordination toward cooperation instead of a zero-sum competition. (Every country wants to have strategic reserves of food, fuel, knowhow and so on. Which leads to every country inventing their own shitty stuff - see public works above, and protecting those incumbent interests, see subsidies of oil industry and for agriculture.)

I hope this starts to answer your question. If not, I'd like to know why. Thanks!
You will need batteries with hydrogen fuel cells due to the fact the cells do not throttle quickly based on energy demand. The battery is required as a buffer for quickly discharging larger amounts of energy. So in effect you require a full blown electric drive train but with a smaller battery. In my opinion it is way less complex to just increase the size of the battery and get rid off the hydrogen parts.

Oh puh-lease. Even a trivial googling tells me that Canada has longer waiting times than most other comparable countries with single-payer healthcare. And those waiting times? About half of GP visits are same- or next day appointments, with 20% of Canadians having to wait for a week. As for specialists, the median waiting time is roughly four weeks. [1]

So those numbers are definitely not optimal compared to many other countries, but your claim about the average being almost 20 weeks is completely ridiculous. You're entitled to your own opinions, but you are not entitled to your own facts. And if your opinions are based on your own facts, don't expect to be taken seriously in any reasonably educated company.

Now, according to [2], the US fares well on two metrics: waiting time to see a specialist and waiting time to elective surgeries. Unsurprisingly, both of these are conditional on already having gotten a referral and/or having decided to book the appointment or operation. That is, most of the time, if you have decided you can afford it! Indeed, cost barriers were by far the highest in the US, as measured by the fraction of people who skipped treatment or medication due to cost.

Is there any evidence that the reason healthcare is so unaffordable and people go bankrupt is because people are unhealthy? Your "just be healthier" solution is no solution at all.

Regardless, people fall ill through no fault of their own all the time. I am very healthy and very active, but right now for all I know I could have a brain tumour. Your response is so stereotypically American: just ignore the problem and encourage people to take responsibility over something they by definition have little control over in the first place.
I suppose it depends if you want your taxes to increase to keep funding the universities while private companies capitalise on their research for free.

Which doesn't fix anything since then it errors and says I need to use the Dutch store.

> If you don't have an Apple account, then what is it that you're complaining that you can't make a purchase from? iTunes and Apple accounts are the same thing.

I creates an Apple account; so that an iTunes account? iTunes is for buying music, no? I don't even have iTunes on my phone. You seem to think that it's normal that people know all this stuff like "Apple account is also your iTunes account", but that doesn't follow at all.

> The account that you say you don't know you have? You're going to have to make up your mind when you rant.

I can't add it if it's in the Dutch region, so I switch to UK region, add it, and then it says my account is only valid for the Dutch region when I actually try to make a purchase.

The purchase I wanted to make were Irish ordinance survey maps for hiking, which is not tied to the Netherlands at all, so you tell me...
The Times especially, to the point it's reporting on anything technical is flat out falsehoods a lot of the time.
Good news on that front.

To do a bunch of new things browser vendors want, they need to put more stuff into DNS. For example eSNI needs keys in DNS, and HTTP/3 (HTTP over QUIC, which is the new encrypted transport protocol) wants a way to discover HTTP/3 availability before connecting with TLS.

So at IETF 105 last week there was stuff pinging around about the idea of a single new record, perhaps just for HTTP or perhaps more, that wraps all this stuff up, with all the SRV features too.

The DPRIVE work is having the effect of reducing the pressure to not use DNS, because crappy DNS servers break all the time when you add new things, but DPRIVE servers are operated by people who actually know what they're doing so that isn't a risk, and eSNI in particular makes no sense without DPRIVE, so why not.

all of this said can also be true for any kind of community, even extrapolated to religion, leftist ideas, fascism, fad diets.

There is nothing inherent in flat earthers, most communities outside of academia (and sometimes inside it) that is not about the feeling of belonging somewhere. It is stronger than truth and facts. Always.
There were ... really no one to reign in the elites. That's why they are the elites. Only a subgroup of them can meaningfully challenge a different subgroup of elites. (Not counting revolutions, and other serious regime changes.)

Meh. That is research from the same group that was thinking about the problems with Unix and could be argued is an early expression of some of the ideas that became plan9.

Humans have existed for hundreds of thousands of years with no vaccines. Let's not be needlessly fearmongering when it comes to their necessity.

In this day and age, given the quality of medical treatment available to most of the population, any outbreak of diseases can be handled in a much better way, and with less comparative casualties than ever before, regardless of the use o vaccines.

Vaccines are useful, there is no doubt about that, but they are in no way a necessity without which we cannot live.
Sounds like a feature and not a bug. It prevents irresponsible breaking changes of lib A interface and just hoping that some other Z team will clean up after you.

Postponing the required Z change to later could be seen as beneficial in some scenarios but what if the change you made to lib A was a security fix, then you would want all apps of that lib to be forced updated right away. Then your your change should be backwards compatible, monorepo or not.

If you want to have reusable components then make sure they are reusable, if you want a special version of lib A that only works with lib B you are essentially forking lib A making it not longer a reusable lib, just a subdir for project B. Interface versioning could help with such non backwards compatible changes, in a monorepo you normally do this with a /2.0-directory.

> Never mind that the average wait time to see a doctor in Canada is almost 20 weeks...

The way this is stated is very misleading. The average time to get surgery is 20 weeks. This varies a lot by what kind of surgery you're talking about[1]. The average waiting time to see a doctor in the ER is measured in hours, with 27% of Canadians waiting 4 hours or more[2].

As a Canadian, I'm tired of Americans shitting on Canada's health care system and spreading misinformation to score political points. It's not perfect, but I'll take it over the financial devastation wrought by the US system any day.

Edit: Also, let's not forget that US citizens regularly cross the border into Canada so they can afford basics like insulin[3].
