You make a compelling case that you could put together a company that owns a whole portfolio of products that essentially makes them dominant for office rental. But there's three issues with that:

Firstly, a successful office rental company is valued at no where near the multiple that WeWork claimed to be. So if this strategy is successful, what you're left with is likely a company that is significantly less valuable than the amount that's been invested.

Secondly, it's not entirely clear that all these things put together actually would be a significant competitive advantage in the office rental space, where the bread and butter issues are what dominates the running of the business.

Thirdly, let's assume this is a good strategy. Buying up these companies and integrating them into a single purpose business is a difficult task that most companies struggle with, it's much more common for these strategies to result in massive acquisitions followed by write-downs. Even a good CEO would struggle with it, but WeWork has already bought these companies, so a new CEO doesn't just need to slowly fold each company into the core business, the new CEO has to handle the fact they already own these business and need to integrate all of them, all at once, as fast as possible, before they go bankrupt in a way that looks good for the IPO.

There was rather more to him - and the article - than that, and I found myself rather moved by the way the author described her brother's life. By contrast, your comment seems unkind and unnecessary.
I think the OP intentionally wrote it very aggressive, he even put the <rant> tag to be specific.
> Nothing necessarily precludes it but does it really happen that often? I couldn't find any data on this.

Does it happen often in the alternative system? You started with saying that you left school at 14, then went to university at 28. No matter the system that's going to be an unusual situation.

How did MobilEye manage to patent reading speed signs? Firstly, computers reading a number has plenty of prior art, and secondly, how can one company be allowed to have a monopoly on important public safety announcements?
No we didn’t in practice - because you also need the return routability.

Modern day example: If you are connected over WiFi and 3G over two different ISPs, the packet for your (probably RFC1918, statefully NATted by your home gateway) address of the WiFi interface has absolutely zero chance of arriving over 3G (which probably has a different RFC1918 address, statefully NATted in the CGN in the mobile infra). And vice versa. So strong host model vs weak host model is irrelevant in this context.

MPTCP works absolutely fine in this scenario.

MIPv6 reportedly works to roam (assuming no NAT66 in the path), but can not use two paths at once.
Don’t see a reason for it to be limited to just life either.

Yes but creating the scaffolding is the hard part and getting to the "once the thing is wrapped" takes more time than the other solutions.

You could "force" parameter naming, and it would be easier.

Types are good but having 10 types of string doesn't make sense.
You know, I used to think that but I've come to realize that I often just ended up writing messages that were not useful. For example, here is some code that I wrote a while back:

guard let data = notification.userInfo?["updatedItem"] as? Data else {
assertionFailure("Could not retrieve updated item")
return false
}

I am really being helpful here? If I see a crash on this line:

let data = notification.userInfo?["updatedItem"] as! Data

I get essentially the same information, except it's done in a less verbose and easier-to-discover way. Whereas the first one is like adding this kind of useless comment:

let x = 5 // Assign 5 to x
As an M3 user I can confirm.

Boy is it a thrill driving a car you have no instrumentation for! You can't even see how fast you're going.

Future Posthumous Autobiography
I've had a lot of good experiences with Jekyll, and I'm fairly sure that the problem you've described would have worked nicely with it. Extending it is also really straightforward, you just put a few lines of Ruby in a file in the right place.

I've moved my site from Jekyll to Gatsby, and while there are some nice things, it's not been a clear win. My site is very significantly slower for first load, but slightly faster for all subsequent loads. The build is far less stable with Gatsby, there are ~5 dependency updates per day, things like Sass don't "just work" anymore, but on the other hand, there are a few more packages that do useful things that I didn't get in the Jekyll community.
I drew a stronger conclusion from this point on page 5.

13. Many readers will skim over formulas on their first reading of
your exposition. Therefore, your sentences should flow smoothly when
all but the simplest formulas are replaced by “blah” or some other
grunting noise.

My writing has benefited greatly by treating all mathematical
expressions within sentences as nouns regardless of their relational
operators. My version of the sentence would be "Noting that x < 5
holds, we infer a probability of no more than 0.1 for f(y) + x taking
values of 3 or more.".

> A recent fascination I've had the last few months is pushing boundaries with my dream characters. Several weeks ago I had a dream where I was having a conversation with someone, and paused to observe that the situation wasn't real. Normally I've found I have to keep this knowledge to myself because the dream will immediately break up, but this time I remarked to the girl that she wasn't real and in fact was a figment of a dream. She looked at me and said that she was and I was acting crazy. She wouldn't believe me.

Interesting. I met a long-dead relative once in a dream, and he told me "I'm not really here" and I said "I know" and we enjoyed the moment together.
Also, Jimmy Hoffa was his partner in these deeds. "They" don't want you to find out about that either.

i mean, if they want me to do a 6 hour take home test for a chance at interviewing, that would be a strong indicator that they DON'T very much value work life balance.

Now, consider if they instead said, we don't need you to come onsite for 4 hours at all, just take this 6 hour at home test at your own leisure at your own time, and we will give you an offer based on it. That would speak volumes about the type of company and culture that they are.

I avoid looking at the number by turning the dial all the way down (so I know where it is) and then up to where I want it.
That’s a huge false assumption, of course you might consider leaving if the interview process was less demanding and impractical? It doesn’t seem realistic at all. The company is just continuing with their bad interview process with their head in the sand, telling themselves “it’s okay, the people who don’t like our interview process probably aren’t any good or wouldn’t move anyway!”. I mean how would they know.

I don't really know what Gatsby is good at because I've never been target customer of it. But judging on website and docs I think its power lies in simplicity: people want to get shit together and call a day. This tool allows that.

This is exactly the kind of vitriol I was talking about... "FSD" now has Navigate on Autopilot, Smart Summon (with v10 it now comes to YOU! https://youtu.be/9cuJATedvDk a Tesla exclusive feature?) Autopark and Auto Lane Change.

If you option these on other similarly priced cars, the bundle will be priced either the same or probably even more.
No it's not. I like MacOS and use their laptops, but Apple proprietary approach does not work for me when it comes to desktop. Their development lifecycle must be very long if they missed advancements in the CPU space. Ryzen to the masses.
Surely if esc is important to you you shouldn't be using the esc button as esc in the first place? Caps is both my esc and my ctrl and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I think this has to be taken with a grain of salt. Building self-serve can have huge development costs which for enterprise B2B can be absolutely out of proportion before a product market fit.

Isn't "do things that do not scale" (and automate them away once you got enough momentum) a mantra exactly opposite to this?

Sure but the parent post was talking about the graphics. Second Life looked good when it launched but is so old that it looks outdated. It tried to look realistic while both Horizon and Rec Room goes with the Mii look. My point is that Rec Room is a better comparison since it uses the same graphics style, is way more popular/up-to-date and is also VR.
Are people still impressed by low TDP numbers? Everyone can manipulate that number to anything you want by changing the base clock. Intel could sell the 9900K with a 25 W TDP by saying the base clock is 1200 MHz, AMD could do the same. (I mean the 95 W TDP for the 9900K is already a meme.) It's just gonna be exactly the same CPU as the 3900X, just a slightly worse binned version.
A separate thread? I assume that's all the kernel would be doing anyway, no ring zero magic involved.

On the A16Z podcast, Marc Andreessen (IIRC) said something like "VR is not for Silicon Valley where you wake up every day thinking of all the awesome things you can do. VR is for all the people whose everyday life is terrible."

When you think about it in those terms it gets seriously dystopian. You put your AR goggles on for your 10-hour shift at the Nike factory, then you pop a protein pill and put your VR goggles on for the rest of the day, spending your meagre income on whoever bid most for your eyeballs on Google.
I find the stroke anecdote fairly unconvincing. The man clearly still had the capacity for language - he was miming the action of a tennis racquet. Sign language is still language. Just because something went haywire between his brain and his mouth doesn't mean he lacked language.

I also don't think you can easily dismiss the conscious of animals by saying they lack language. Most animals (dogs, whales, birds, etc) seem to engage in limited communication via audible signals.

As with most philosophical questions, though, it all hangs on the definition of "consciousness". It may not even be a concept worth defining.
I agree, and I am not still sure if he is serious.
> In fact, they found that on average, 800,000 more fibres were released in a delicate wash than a standard cycle.

Absolutely hopeless article. It makes a huge difference whether the number of fibers released in a standard cycle is 1k or 20M. It's the ratio between the two cycles that matters. Article doesn't mention that.

No link to the paper either.

In essence his view of democracy is thus "have correct opinions or else"

It is quite extraordinary to call for a business to be bankrupted just because the owner stated a fact by calling violent protests 'riots'.
I think that's a great approach. I agree absolutely about not being able to fake it either; in practice I've never caught anyone putting forth someone else's code as their own, and I don't think it's a huge concern for the reason you mention.

Do also spare a thought for the people who don't have side projects, or any code that they can legitimately share. There are plenty of talented engineers in that position, and it'd be a shame to have a hiring process that leaves them out in the cold.

"This is in addition to an expected £100 million bill to return Thomas Cook passengers to Britain" - it might be true, but I just don't understand where they are getting that number from.

For the record, I think it's really adorable that someone has gone through and downvoted every one of my comments with 4-5 accounts (my top level comment used to be at +8, this one is -6 from where it used to be), but has nothing to say in the thread. Because there's nothing you can say to overturn the plain meaning of the text.

Anyone interested to read more about the octopus' brain, this article is worth reading:
http://greymattersjournal.com/dive-into-the-mind-of-an-octop...

In a nutshell:

1) Octopuses have a "vertical lobe", which is very similar in function and organization to our hippocampus.

2) Mammalian hippocampuses have the ability for something known as "longterm potentiation" (LTP), which is believed to play a crucial part in memory and learning. Experiments found a similar longterm potentiation mechanism in the vertical lobe of octopuses.

Quoting the article: "The discovery of LTP in octopuses provides evidence for convergent evolution that has led to the selection of similar synaptic activity. Though not yet agreed upon in the scientific community, the existence of LTP in both mammals and octopuses strengthens the concept of LTP as a cellular basis for learning and memory and may be a general mechanism for associative learning".

He's saying that performance gain may not be worth huge price tag. It's similar to Backblaze which decided to use consumer grade hard drives for their storage solution rather than pro grade drives because cost increase was not worth it.

You can, it just takes a bit of work. In fact, you can do so much more because bitcoin transfer can be done in a way that is opaque to tax agencies.

Exactly. And in many languages that is quite difficult to ensure at compile time. In java all object parameters are by definition optoinal. Same thing in C# (before C#8 brought non-nullable types).

Obviously in F# or Haskell or C#8 or Rust this isn't a problem. But what we are talking about is: how do you handle, at runtime, in a language such as C#7 or Java, an null parameter being passed to a method that must return a value based on its parameter, but was passed null? It's a choice between very bad options where the least bad is usually to throw an ArgumentNullException or similar. Because there is nothing better to do.
I highly recommend the book: The Secret Network of Nature by Peter Wohlleben.

Intel measure the TDP based on the base clock, yes. However AMD seem to measure it based on what the CPU is likely to draw with boost clocks over a sustained period of time, so their TDP numbers are quite accurate.
All numbers called go to Apple? Is this true?
If the performance is alright for my needs, why wouldn't I prefer a processor with a lower TDP? I agree that it would be nice to have consumption numbers for some standardized workload, but in the absence of that, TDP seems useful to me.
