It’s a gross oversimplification to pin this collapse on just one item. Just as easy to say “If people didn’t borrow too much” or “If Barney Frank didn’t...” We just don’t know enough to say if any step would avert the crisis or just defer it.

If they don't jump straight to 7nm then next iteration of 10nm may be more impressive.

At 6-8 cores a 10nm with low base clock and decent boost speeds would probably be a decent option provided it doesn't throttle in the thin/light laptops of today.

Consumer is caught between worlds, the old power hungry one, and the new efficient one where long battery life and cool/quiet mobile systems are the norm (at least that's the hope).

Developing a Balanced Scoring Algorithm for Multi-house Energy Efficiency Games
But once they do get on the chiplet train properly, their EMIB technology means they only need a small 'bridge' piece of silicon to connect their chiplets. In contrast to what TSMC offer where all the chiplets need to sit within a large silicon interposer. This is more expensive and it limits the size of the chip you can produce (as there is a limit to the interposer size). They also announced that Foveros stacking thing and now co-EMIB too; on paper Intel's new packaging tech looks like it could really help them. They just need to make use of it.
And if the transcription is done by the user? What if the user gets the print version, and decides to change the font, or background color, or screen brightness. What if they decide to change the volume of the audio version, or use an equalizer to change pitch, or change the reading speed - is that not also a derivative work?

What if the user takes notes, associating them to time-stamps (audio) or written directly into the pages (print)?

In all those cases the user has altered the work, and made a derivative one, if you will. But the publishers want control over how you consume their works - they want control over what happens on your own device, so they can extract more money from you.

It's hard to express how abhorrent I find this.
The next recession will be caused by poor crop yields due to environmental destruction. It will also cause famines and wars globally.
Positional-only arguments in Python
If we reach the point where global stability depends on whether or not debt by almost every first world country can be paid or not, we will be in a situation where we have to evaluate whether or not keeping that debt around is worth the risk of total economic collapse.

Consider - each country can either:
a) mutually agree to cancel all debt (or some large portion to mitigate the situation, say 50%) or,
b) continue to demand the debt, thus perpetuating the downward spiral of the global economy, thus ushering in an era of civil unrest and large civilizational changes.

I'm not trying to sound all doom and gloom, but I think a large part of the economy is very much "pretend money" that works fine with high levels of productivity and economic output, but can very much just be done away with if the alternative is total collapse.

The GFC wasn't a total collapse. It was just the loss of large amounts of profit for some large bankers. This had severe consequences for some people (mortgage foreclosures, jobs etc), but wasn't on the scale this article describes, or anywhere close.

It's a bit like the worries people (rightfully) have around foreign ownership of land, especially farmland. Yeah it's not ideal now, but you think private property laws will be upheld in war time? If a country ever goes to war with say, China, (a large owner of foreign farmland), you can bet that country will simply seize it all and repurpose it for the war effort before you can say "world war 3". Private property is nice on paper, but when push comes to shove it's just that - paper. Easily rewriten.

Respectfully, I think that Lehman brothers was a major part of why the great recession was the great recession. I’ll quote economist Allen binder:

People argue that if it wasn’t Lehman Brothers it would have been something else,” ….“I don’t buy that. I don’t mean everything would have been great if we had bailed out Lehman. We were in a financial crisis before Lehman. But it had a shock value that just caused everything to fall off a cliff. If you look at data on almost anything – consumer spending, investment spending, car sales, employment – it just drops off the table at Lehman Brothers and I don’t think we needed to have that.

People selling something in general are not getting paid for their "contribution", they are getting paid because (a) they have something you want, (b) they ask for money to give it. They are getting paid for the ownership.

If I sell a plot of land I inherited from N generations ago, there was zero of my "contribution" factored in into
the price (and perhaps zero of my ancestors who first got it contribution. Such plots might have just been up for grabs at the time). The price can still be millions for said plot of land -- it's all to demand, nothing to do with some compensation for "contribution".

In this case, the publishers (and owners of the story copyright) want to sell the 2 different versions separately.

It's as simple as that.

And you can complain about "useless middlemen, etc" but it could just as well have been the author that wanted to sell his stories as different deals for different mediums, and not e.g. allow automatic conversion from one format to another.

Usually, he who sells something sets the price for what you get (and determines what you get).

You might agree and buy it or not, but you don't get to force them otherwise, because you "really wanted X", or "you thought you got Y too", etc.

Karel Čapek's name is a perfect example of the ridiculous habit of English-speakers to preserve foreign spelling. As you'll notice, ‘Čapek’ isn't written in English, as ‘Č’ isn't a letter in English alphabet. Now, how many people in English-speaking countries know how to pronounce Czech letters? I've heard the name pronounced as ’Kahpek‘ or ‘Kaypek’ (e.g. right in the Librivox book linked in the thread). But it's actually [tʃapɛk], which would be better represented as ‘Chapek’.

Apparently, since English-speakers have no idea how to pronounce English words that they didn't memorize beforehand, they also gave up on the idea of representing foreign words phonemically. But they still keep trying to read them that way if they see vaguely-Latin alphabet.
That's an excellent course/book!

Why the CIA Doesn't Spy on the UAE
Simple: the laws of most physics say you can look at something now and work it backwards. Once it falls into a black hole the previous state of what falls into it isn't able to be derived from working backwards because it just fell into a black hole. This isn't rocket science! (Maybe eventually though)
Websites and apps use Facebook apis. Nothing conspiritorial about that
I originally come from India; now live in Western Europe. I used the term "calligraphy" (although, my scribbling doesn't deserve that term) because that's what the book I'm learning from (mentioned earlier) calls it.

In school did you learn writing with pressure-and-release strokes? I'm referring to how hard you press on the nib to control the ink flow, using a dip pen. If so, more power to you :-) (The other day, a colleague from the UK also mentioned that they learnt "calligraphy" in school, not sure what kind it was, though.)

On this being a "basic handwriting", while I'm still a novice in Copperplate, if you squint hard in my example, all the upstrokes are (supposed to be) thin, and the down strokes, thick—they are not uniform, and most calligraphic scripts involve these pressure-and-release strokes. As you would know, it requires a precise control. I'm far from it; it takes a months of dedicated practice to get that smooth flow of ink.

Also, note that with Copperplate, it looks like you wrote a word, or even a letter, in one go, but it's not the case—almost all letters require you to lift your pen several times over the course of a word, let alone a sentence. (E.g. writing the Copperplate lowercase 'k' requires you to lift your pen three times.)

Maybe basic Copperplate practice letter strokes (for lowercase) in the right-most column here gives a better picture of it: https://kashyapc.fedorapeople.org/Copperplate-lowercase-prac...

How am I shifting the topic?

Compatibility/modularity doesn't happen in the air, rather in written code.

So either one passes structs around, and somehow they need to be compatible.

Or one passes pointer + lenght as two separated variables, with the consequences to keep in sync two unrelated variables, from the compiler point of view.
For what it's worth, I think the summary is useful.
When I read this Vienna article, I agree that it has perhaps a bit less marketing speak (although I don't think the two paragraphs from the Wiki Intro you pulled are indicative of the whole article) but it is not any less positive on the city.

In the linked article I think paragraphs 3 and 4 ("Vienna is among..." and "Viennese Lebenskunst...") basically read like they are from a Travel Guidebook on why you should add Vienna to your next itinerary.

I think it also showcases two of the major problems I have with Britannica and most other "old school" encyclopedias:

1. A general aversion to putting dates with facts. For instance the article states that 2 million visitors comes to the city annually. The Wiki article links to statistics from the city that put that number much higher. I understand that the 2 million number may be from some time ago, but I have no way of knowing. My assumption has always been that they do not put dates on things to prevent appearing out of date. They are really good at putting dates on "history" but seem to be much more hesitant on putting dates on "current" information which makes me think that a lot of that "current" information is already "history"

2. Lack of any sort of citations. I do generally trust Britannica, but it would be nice to get information about where they are getting their information.

Try starting from the author. The author invested his own time and wrote a thing, but for whatever reason didn't want to go out and sell it himself. So he sold a company the rights to print and sell text copies of the thing he'd written. He then sold the rights to sell audio books of his work to a different company (and perhaps the right to make TV show of his book to a third company).

The only reason a company was willing to pay for the rights to the text copy of the work was because they where being guaranteed some sort of monopoly. If that monopoly is weakened then they have less incentives to pay the author.

If that is a good or bad outcome is left as an exercise to the reader.

Every recession in history has been caused by two things: an overreaction by the feds, or a screw up by wall street. Market crash in the 80s was because the feds spiked the interest rate, dot com bust was because wall street didn't do their due diligence.

Not saying that the upcoming recession will be caused by one of these things, just that I doubt sovereign debt has the power (like overreactions or financial mishaps) to move global markets.

No it doesn't.

What fixes this, is realising that debt is artificial and an economy of the future needs to realise tangible goods have more value.

Why should a country have to borrow money to provide food stamps for people? Just provide the food. Healthcare? Just provide the hospitals. I'm not advocating for communism - far from it. A distributist model of social security and healthcare is what is needed. Not some larpy digital coin that's based on speculation. Speculation is what got us into this debt mess to begin with. Speculation is not the answer.
But it's not being written down as a book. It's being transcribed on-the-fly. The user can only see the words as they are being read right now.

Audible argues that the critical competitive advantage of a book is to see lots of words per page, being able to flip to any page you want, and to read at the speed of your inner voice. Their feature does none of those things, so it can't usurp the market for books.
> what would happen if tutorials just disappeared. People would have to do their own research and learning. Maybe things would take longer, but I think the people would benefit from it.

I sincerely doubt it.

When the barriers to learning are raised, we should expect to see less learning, not more.

I learn a lot from quality blog posts and YouTube videos, on all sorts of topics. I have no interest in taking an undergraduate degree in aeronautical engineering or political science, but with easily-consumed 'tutorials', I can absorb a basic understanding of all sorts of topics.

Were these resources to go away, I would certainly be less knowledgeable, not more.

Also, I'm not sure that People would have to do their own research and learning means anything in the first place. We're talking about the quality/quantity/availability of learning materials. That's all.

Sounds like an innovation to me. When Amazon is going to do text-to-speech on normal books they are even going to put more pressure on the publishing business.

Insurances assessing risk based on publicly available information (social media posts) is in no way comparable to a social credit system.

PatronScan looks potentially more dangerous, but the law in the US and UK (for example and afaik) is that you are free to refuse service to anyone you please as long as it is not illegal discrimination (e.g. in the UK, race or sexual orientation).

Once again what this highlights is the power gained by these online platforms. On the one hand as private companies they have no obligation of universal service, on the other hand some of them have so much power that being excluded has a real impact on people.

This reinforces my opinion that either these tech giants will effectively rule, or they will have to be controlled in a way similar to what China does in order to keep decisions on censorship, exclusion, and provision of service within public hands.

I thought this was a very thought provoking talk, even if we talk nothing the speaker says for granted.

A year or so ago I had a semi-breakdown over the fact that all the best practices I stood by was more or less just a regurgitation of what some software "guru" had to say on the subject. I didn't know if it was true, but I damn sure believed it.

I believed so hard that my opinions and feelings was almost (if not entirely) religious in nature. Sure, I had some experiences with things that absolutely did not work, some techniques that worked under the specific circumstances I applied them in.

But in general? After 10 years of software development, I can't tell you why I solve a specific kind of coding problem the way I do. I can give you a lot of reasons, but only based on vague hand-wavey stuff such as feelings and experience.

Don't get me wrong; experience is really great. But it's not the same as truth. What works for me might not work for you, and vice versa. And what I believe works for me might in fact slow me down.

And there's no real way for me to know for sure.

IANAL but, at least as a practical matter, anything along these lines that's done for personal/internal use seems likely fair game. Someone is seriously going to make a case that I can't transcribe a copy of a speech or other recording for my own use?

It's external distribution that gets stickier--especially as you get beyond short excerpts to a full and complete work.

ADDED: And, yes, anyone can sue anyone for anything. But arguments that something could technically be construed as a legal violation even though no one has ever been called on it in the history of the legal system aren't terribly convincing.
That's more about the poor performance of predictions. And a reminder that companies can and do fade.

Not really relevant as to whether a small company can beat an incumbent in their own game today. If Google fades eventually it wouldn't be because a new search company beat them at search, but because the industry changed and search is not longer as relevant, ad revenues are marginal, etc, for example.
