Coming from a dictatorship country (Iran), my personal understanding is not that dictatorships are not "exposed".

At least in my case it seemed that everybody knows whats going on. It's just that there are socio-economics in place that keep the balance of power, somehow, despite the fact that everyone is completely aware of the situation.

Investment is a problematic word because it has so many subtly different meanings.

Let's say you "invest" in the stock market. Does that actually cause any business to "invest" more? The answer is likely no. It'll drive up the stock prices of the company whose shares you buy, yes, but companies don't tend to make investment decisions based on their share price.

Conversely, companies do make investment decisions based on the demand for their products, so giving money to poor people who immediately spend it is likely to cause more (real world) investment than giving it to rich people who merely "invest" it.

Freakonomics 2010 discusses this.

Yes you can tell about from the child from their name.

They further that and talk how more educated parents chose names that aren't broken, then the poorer parents eventually see that as a status symbol so follow along and break that name, so the cycle continues.

I believe this is just the next step of lower social economic parents cargo culting originality and misspeling names or picking names from overseas.

While you can work unbothered in these late night hours same as morning hours, I did personally find greater benefit in working in the morning over late at night: opening hours of shops, sports facilities, etc. are more convenient. You're mileage may vary depending on where you live of course but here in Western EU there are almost no 24h stores so good luck doing any shopping after 19:00pm.

Well it also serves Google's users, to be clear. Though I should also be clear that I don't think that justifies it, since I think it's bad for the ecosystem in more subtle ways than are expressed in immediate user satisfaction.
Personally, I’m not so concerned about the logo. If anything, it seems kitschy and somewhat unprofessional, but that alone wouldn’t stop me from trying it.

The price is a bit more daunting. A lower introductory price would definitely help me get over that hump.

But frankly my biggest concern is disk space. If I have 4K monitors, how often does this thing fire and how much disk space does each screenshot take? How long until I’ve filled up a full 1TB of expensive SSD?
I think of it more as if you put a banner with content somewhere in the public, and I take a photo of it, what can I later do with that photo?

And for that, it's a question of copyright. It turns out, in the US, if something is publicly available it does not make the copyright a part of the public domain. Thus the original author still retains copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise.

There is an exception to this though, which is called fair use. And for that, I'd recommend reading this: https://amp.theatlantic.com/amp/article/411058/ Book snippets by Google searched were deemed fair use.

So the question remains, would website snippet similarly count as fair use? What will the federal courts rule be? And when it comes to fair use, that's the only way to know if it is or not.

Soon You Could Follow Topics on Twitter
How is this different from using a browser?
The problem for me is that people haven’t really clued into social norms for chat clients as it is, and poorly-implemented clients make this worse.

Some people honestly seem oblivious to any current chat status, launching into complex questions and expecting immediate replies just because you seem alive right now. I’m sorry but once I’m “in conference call” or otherwise really busy, you should get the hint. I shouldn’t need a chat client that lets me be virtually invisible just to get work done.

And generally, I hate chat for work. E-mail/bug-track is enough. I want to deal with things when I actually have time to deal with them, not when someone else assumes I have infinite availability.
Cops harass Blacks, but cops also harass too many people, period.

There is too much of a police state, period.

This paper(1) is by a Black economist at Harvard. On page 5, Blacks are 25% less likely to be shot, though they are more likely to experience non-lethal force. The paper concludes there are a minority of officers who discriminate.

I was quite surprised by that.

I also was curious about that because it didn't match my preconceived notions, so did a rough check of some of the crime stats myself(2). It seems about 25% of fatal shootings are of Blacks, which is about proportionately double the rate. But if you look at something like arrest rate for violent crime as a metric for encounters with police, they're a little bit over 25%, which would be consistent with the former paper's conclusion.

I have no doubt that in the past there was terrible discrimination, and that presently a minority of officers do it, which is still unacceptable. But whenever I see people talking about this topic presently, I never see facts or statistics brought into it and it comes off as hand-wavey virtue signalling.

I also worry that there is a growing problem of a police state -- it is not only a problem of discrimination.

I think if you could set your own price limit, and the software can account for it somehow in terms of de-rating the battery warranty, it would work.

The big factor I'm not sure about is the added COGS to the car. This [1] seems to say it's only $200-$300 in added cost of parts in the car. It's not clear if that's in addition to the added cost in the charge port, or instead of.

One important factor is even though the battery is capable of feeding perhaps up to 100 KW, if your charger is on a 40-amp 240v circuit, you are limited there to just 9.6kW. This drastically limits your ability to profit in the case of a spike, but then again, if there are several hundred thousand batteries competing with you, it's less likely to need to pull more than 10kW from any one battery.

This is a great read.

If you study the Pacific carrier battles carefully, you'll notice that the Americans sank no Japanese carriers with torpedos for 2 years, while the Japanese had great success.

So all of the US torpedo planes and pilots were sent fruitlessly for that period of time. Usually the performance of their obsolete planes was blamed, but that doesn't matter when you're dropping duds.

In later wars, the US repeated similar disasters ...

The F-4 didn't have a gun, early air-air missiles either didn't work or were sensitive to carrier landings and stopped working, the Zuni rocket had electrical issues, the F-14A had the wrong (bomber) engine, carriers were loaded with tons of "expired" bombs to reduce costs which contributed to the USS Forrestal inferno, etc.

The USA has always taken a while to spool up for war, but has then been unstoppable. It would be nice to break the pattern of early failures though.
That is part of the secret sauce ;) And your right, this is all painfully complex!
Sure, it could be one of those things that's "the worst except for all the other options." It's still flawed, the flaws have been known for a long time, and their magnitude is potentially large enough to warrant looking for other indicators.

The S&P 500 describes the S&P 500 fine, but it seems like a much simpler problem? They represent an estimate of a future cash flow generated by a basket of companies. That's way more straightforward than measuring value perceived by consumers.

One of the biggest skills humanity has to learn soon is global heat management. At the same time it's 100 degrees in Dallas, it's freezing cold in some other part of the world. And in the same place but at a different time of year, the temperature goes down to around 40 degrees. There's got to be a way to even out those fluctuations, and doing so would produce immense benefits: humans are comfortable in 60-70 degree weather, so by moving heat from the hot space/time locations to the frigid ones, we win on both sides of the deal. And by the way, the Second Law of Thermodynamics also wants to smooth out temperature gradients. It's got to be possible.

To the best of my knowledge, stars go nova because they have finished their fuel, and they can no longer sustain fusion once they begin fusing iron. It seems unlikely that being hit by a shockwave would trigger that. If it stripped away a lot of fuel, it would probably cause the star to go the route of a white dwarf rather than explode, right?

Boycotts are one form of pressure.

Right to repair and right to information though are another.

This also means guaranteed minimum supported lifetimes, access to documentation, system upgrades, and the like.

As for laptops: I've been actively putting off upgrading for numerous reasons including the fact that no current offerings really seem to suit my needs, wants, or reasonable expectations, but bullshit games (factory-installed spyware, Lenovo, craptacular ergonomics (Apple keyboards, strips), and BDSM bootloaders (Android) leave me feeling physically ill.

I was reminiscing earlier that in his 1976 book Imperial Earth, Arthur C. Clarke more-or-less pressages the smartphone, with his minisec, though with some glaring distinctions.

There's a physical keyboard (the 'E' key is mentioned as being worn), devices are durable enough to be intergenerational hand-me-downs (the protagonist inherits his father's old device), and apparently the economics and business models of manufacturing, servicing, upgrading, and developing for the platforms have been solved, as they're never mentioned.

It's the business models of hardware, software, and services which are killing us. To the point of creating actively shitty products and business practices.

Hah crazy, it is a scott test. this is the exact packet that he's using. You can see it on the youtube video someone posted below. They also say it turns pink and that's the positive test. But the directions on that site say it has to be blue.. and some nonsense about a bunch of vestibules that the guy just all shakes together it seems? Unclear.

https://www.copsplus.com/sirchie-narkii-test-07-scott-reagen...

Here's the directions on the website:

Confirm suspicions of cocaine presence using the NARKII Test 07-Scott Reagent from Sirchie®. The improved presumptive test utilizes a three-vestibule system to identify powdered cocaine, as well as cocaine bases, crack and freebase. To administer the test, place a small sample of the suspected substance in each of the three ampoules. The first vestibule will melt, creating a blue solution if the sample is pure powdered cocaine. A cocaine base will form hard blue specs that float in a pink solution. Both forms of the substance will dissolve into a pink liquid in the second container. The third ampule will have a burst of blue, that later separates into a pink over blue solution when mixed with either powdered or cocaine bases.

This is hilariously sad. These cops have 0 training, or are out for blood. I'm thinking Hanlon's Razor.

EDIT:
Here's the video timestamp where you can see the packet:

Side note HD bodycams are pretty good, surprised you can see and read this packet that clearly.
It's amazing that months later this still doesn't distinguish between "already serviced" and "not applicable" which makes it hard to tell if Apple is, perhaps, making a mistake on the former conclusion.
I guess I’m just struggling to see how there is any useful sense in which the event happened in 20,000 B.C. from our perspective when it would be impossible for it to have had any causal effect on us until May. I don’t think this is a disagreement in the basic understanding of relativity, but rather a disagreement in semantics.

Sure, there won't be autonomous driving next year. Elon Musk has a bad habit of redefining things: he defines FSD as being able to see signs, traffic lights, hopefully not crash that much into trucks, and take intersections.

It sucks, but look at the competiton: they don't get data from drivers, don't launch and iterate. For example I'm in Eastern Europe and I don't know any other company that has training data for my country.

Also Andrew Karpathy improved the development framework a lot, I guess you looked at the autonomy day presentation. It was interesting (and shicking) to me that depth wasn't learned before from the cameras, I think it's crucial.

Anyways I understand your sentiment, that's partly why I still prefer owning Bitcoin.

Isn't HTTP/2 just that, an attempt to fix existing infrastructure? I mean, HTTP/2 was a revision of HTTP/1.* that aimed to fix some problems such as the inability to address latency issues with basic techniques such as pipelining and multiplexing requests.

>Helicopters are expensive to maintain, noisy to fly and require trained pilots.

This part really puzzles me, I mean I guess they're better than helicopters but all those thing apply to flying cars as well, just to a lesser degree.

Getting some flying cars won't be cheap, maintaining them might be cheaper than a chopper but still not very cheap.

And if you're going to pilot one of these, and carry people around I guarantee you will have to be licensed and trained in piloting one. The regulations won't be as loose as with drones.

As for the noise, well this isn't exactly quiet.... https://youtu.be/cmdilp9LM0E?t=67

Sure it might not be as bad as a helicopter but you also rarely have two dozen helicopters zipping around near ground level. While the whole plan is to have these zipping around everywhere.
The macbook is not a desktop replacement; it's a very portable laptop. Being as small as possible is a big part of it's function. You pay a lot extra for this, both in terms of actual money, reduced computing power, and probably decreased longevity.

(Interestingly, this used to be the norm. Back in the day, the smallest thinkpads were also the most expensive. If you cared about money, you'd carry around something much larger and clunkier. It wasn't until the advent of the netbook that "small" also meant "cheap")

If you don't think a laptop being as small and thin as possible is important and worth paying for, then you will be very disappointed with the current crop of macbooks.

(As an aside, I find it kinda weird to see people with these macbooks that are absolutely optimized for portability using them as desktop replacements. Like... maybe part of that was that for a long time apple sold really ancient hardware for their desktops, and maybe these people just really loved OS-X? But... this goes to your point... the fact that so many people use macbooks as desktop replacements does indicate that maybe there's a market for a more desktop-y macbook, maybe one with active cooling and a replaceable battery? But it's also possible that those users are willing to pay a cost in terms of longevity and in terms of expandability in exchange for their desktop replacement simply being more portable for the few times they do actually move it.)

Either way, I like my macbook even though I'd be seriously annoyed if I was limited to that much compute power for my main usage, and I'd go insane if I had to use the keyboard/trackpad for serious work.

But for me? I think the cost is totally reasonable for something I can put in almost any of my bags; something that adds almost no perceptible weight. I had a sony viao P series for a while; it was similar.

I mean, my other personal laptop is a thinkpad X220, which is exactly the sort of thing you would like; it's pretty easy to swap out all the parts, including the battery. It is actively cooled (and aside from the battery and hard drive, the fan seems to be one of the common bits to break.) - it's also not powerful enough for comfortable full-time use, imo, but it stands up well to the mac book in that regard, and it has a keyboard that is almost good enough to use all day. (I mean, I'm not switching it out for my kinesis for serious work, but as far as laptop keyboards go, it's pretty good)
