Nit: unless the video is running at a reduced speed, the claim is false. You can clearly see that the pizza takes 18 seconds to pass over a single location. If you were to run then pizzas through edge-to-edge, then the fastest production rate would be (3,600 seconds per hour) / 18 seconds = 200 pizzas per hour. But that would risk having the dough from one pizza get stuck to the dough of the next. Adding a sensible 2 second gap between each pizza would reduce the throughput to 150 pizzas per hour.

Also, that sauce depositing methodology is just not right. This robot does it much better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=11&v=cc-ClpymK_Q
Great article. It brings back to mind a question I had recently: what gives the federal government, specifically the executive branch, the power to classify information at all?

I know there are laws and executive orders that say they can do that, but I’m wondering what the ultimate authority derives from in the Constitution. If it’s not a simple explanation, are there any scholarly legal articles I can look at?
If the USA implemented all of Switzerland’s gun laws, a citizen who passes a background check would be able to buy a newly-made full-automatic machine gun that is not allowed in the US outside of law enforcement or military. I’m not sure that is what you’re implying that you’d want.

I think I get what the article is trying to say, but I have to admit that bringing in the concept of "brand" seriously derails it for me.

My identity is not a "brand", the identifiers I use online are not a "brand", and I don't interact with "brands". I interact with people.

What I'm not sure about is whether I'm just having a reaction to the use of the concept of "brand" that is obscuring a meaningful and accurate point for me.

Now that I've written all of this, though, I'm not sure that I understood what the article was trying to say at all.

EDIT: now that I've read it a couple of times, I'm pretty sure that I don't understand what it's really saying. Can someone explain like I'm five?
There's a book, "Mystery of Capital", wherein the author points out is that in order for identity and contracts to work there has to be "something to lose" for the parties involved.

E.g. the power company can't supply power to slums not because of technical limits, but rather economic limits: because the residents don't have titles or leases or bank accounts there's no way to shut off the power to a household for non-payment. There's no leverage without paperwork.

It's relatively established how to do this IRL with deeds and titles and contracts and such. On the Internet it's not even clear that identity is possible to establish. Our computer systems leak like sieves and people get hacked all the time.

I was imagining just yesterday starting an MLM system based on reselling yubikeys and establishing a hardware-backed web-of-trust. I wouldn't even try to make it a pyramid: just resell the keys to your "downline" at wholesale plus the upline uh payment (I don't know the terminology.) Any infrastructure is provisioned by open bid and paid for by simple equal division among all current members. I would imagine it would amount to about a dollar or two per month per person at the very most, flat rate, not part of the MLM.

The whole point is to self-fund a hardware-backed p2p-IRL identity authentication network.

Consumer (and I assume commercial) bread machines often have a "dough only" cycle that you can use for automating your dough process. But I'd like one with a water filter and more granular control over the germ time, temperature, rise time, and knead strength/time all in one widget. Something with multiple wet/dry hampers and a programmable cycle would be really cool too.

This seems slower than the manual speeds I observe at the place I go for lunch slices (Big Mario's, on Pike in Seattle), cooks there just use the back of a ladle to spread the sauce in a couple seconds. Per the video the robot takes 10 seconds, plus it leaves the sauce in lumps.

You know, I completely disagree with the your first sentence. Of all cooking techniques, baking seems to me to be the most scientific.

Have you ever read a “magazine”? These were pre-internet things that were printed on paper, and included text and images. Often these images were illustrations, rather than photographs. They break up the text walls, attract the eye when you’re flipping through deciding which piece to read, and create a mood.

As to why the images are so huge, well, nobody gives two shits about download size any more in a world where you’re also probably pulling down multiple megabytes of ad images and JavaScript because every damn webpage has to be an app even if it’s purely static content nowadays.

That is pretty normal, both in the CEO or founder just asking or having to ask a question and the quickness and lengths that people go to to address it.

People don’t actually get credit for addressing the issue. People just get dinged for not addressing the issue quickly.

It is actually a red flag if a CEO or founder doesn’t behave this way since it means that they aren’t showing care and attention or that they are operating at the wrong level.

A few months ago, I was debating with a friend about the next major computing interface.

Is it Voice or Spacial Computing (AR/VR/xR)?

It's clearly voice, for many reasons. To cut the argument short, realize that language is what separates humans from other animals, and recognize that voice is the natural form of language, not writing. The advancement of AI requires major advancement in understanding human emotions, which are conveyed through subtleties in voice, and not picked up in text.

But it doesn't need to be either/or. Why not both Voice and xR?

Over time, voice and xR will converge, as voice interfaces get integrated into more consumer services, and xR gets more productive applications (right now it's all games and porn). But by then, Amazon will be well-positioned to get into the fun, but Facebook will not be taken seriously.

It depends on who the boogeyman de jour is.

It was North Korea for a while, with every major hack blamed on them, then it was Russia, and now it's China - lo and behold, they get the blame for every major hack.

Now, I'm not saying it wasn't China - what I'm saying is that Western governments make it like "the body who cried wolf".

We just had a generation that grew up thinking the world might end any second in nuclear armageddon.

In the same way "We need to stop driving the boat into rocks or..." is relevant context to "...we need to start liking to swim". Just because something is listed as an option does not mean the speaker is interested in actually doing that.

It's a speaking pattern meant to convey "we've got to do something about <x> and people don't like <y> (so it's gotta be <x>)". In reality there are almost always more <options> than the duality implies but at no point does the person ever actually want <y>.

> Some things just aren’t worth the effort

This is a false dichotomy.

Government (and industry) is not a single-threaded organization incapable of doing more than 1 thing at a time.

It's absolutely possible to do BOTH high impact and low impact things at the same time.

Whether or not airlines adopt better emmission standards does not affect whether bigger ticket items get addressed, too.

(Yes, if you're talking about the media or politicians, they of course are much more single-threaded in the sense that they may need to pick their battles, but generalizing that to absolutely everything doesn't make sense)

Edit: Perhaps our difference in viewpoint is that you're looking at it from the perspective of "what can the consumer do" versus "what can government / regulators / industry do". If you're talking about strictly what consumers can do to help, then I agree, reducing personal air travel probably won't make a difference for most people.
The circumstances that Yegge described happened somewhat before my time, but I suppose you could call it an "internal goal" or "internal mandate".

Amazon's not really big on "mandates" in general, but the term seems to fit Yegge's characterization of what happened. "Internal goal" would be another way to phrase it. E.g., "The single most important technical goal in the history of Amazon".
Yep, screen is the easiest. Minicom often gets confused, or at least confuses me with its weird UI. With screen I just run "screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200".
Ask HN: Way to delete fb and minimize leftover info
Hey guys,

I haven't logged in to facebook in about a year now, and it's been over 4 years since I used it in any meaningful capacity.
I'm sure that facebook will maintain some kind of shadow profile of me, since it's aware of my existence, and will do so even after I quit the platform, but I figure that there are technical barriers to maintaining these shadow accounts (I imagine that they don't store the entire edited comment history of all posts etc)

So I was wondering what types of steps should I take before I delete facebook. Is there a convenient way to overwrite all my posts and remove all my likes etc? Any way to overwrite the photos I've uploaded (only about 6 or 7), and delink myself from all the photos I've been tagged in etc (assume it's automatic after account deletion)

Sorry I don't have a clearer query, I haven't used it in so long that I don't even know everything I want to have removed about me, but I'm trying to delete myself as best as possible.

Thanks in advance!

My guess is that US intelligence has several "shadow" arms that have morphed into their own creatures and are no longer the same patriotic beast it was during the cold war. I'm doubtful whether destabilizing China is a real possibility, in the "CIA in Latin America" sense.

I do not even dream of 'deplatforming anything [I] disapprove of'. But your reply made me think again why I consider going to all these lengths with regards to anti-vax.

Well, it seems like child abuse to me, and it's not even containable - the effects are not limited to their family, but can effect mine as well* . Second, I don't see a way for political resolution here. On political matters there are votes and if my side loses, that's the way it is. Here, the very fact such a movement exists (even if the vast majority is against it and votes against it) puts some immunocompromised people at risk.

* There are religious sects that agree to basically live apart of society - so it wouldn't matter that much to us what they do - but I don't think that's a possible resolution to this issue, not for most anti-vaxxers.
No, the h1b visa comes with an option to apply for permanent residency (Green card). So the comparison here is the ten-year software license comes with an option to buy the lifetime license.

Anyway, the issue here is that the archaic laws discriminate based on race (country of origin) which is both unfair and doesn't make sense for the category (employment-based visa).
