Typewriter operation is on the same order of simplicity as typing on a computer and operating a printer.

Typewriter acquisition is about an hour of time and $50.

Admittedly, I've owned a typewriter for longer than I've owned a conputer. I put it down in favor of WP5.1, but picked it back up a few years ago.

The advantage over pen and paper, for me, is speed and legibility.

Yesterday I watched "All the President's Men". Even I knew of course, there was an time without computer in the offices, but still, it felt a bit .. really like from a different time. I also did think about, how it would not be so easy like today, to change words or just wrong chars like today.

What’s the endgame though? You have the federal government pay UChigago $100k a year times however many kids? And then when UChicago raises the price to $120k, the federal government pays that?

Where does it end?

I’m not against free college, or debt forgiveness, but sometimes even if you have a goal
there’s no regulatory framework that can meet it.

If I wanted to prohibit abortions, while discouraging birth control, and ensuring victims of abuse get to control their bodies... well, sorry. There’s just no regulatory framework that can achieve that. Doesn’t matter what I think is “right”.
Unfortunately nobody knows, and you have little to no recourse if they ban you :(

While I understand there are moral and ethical complications with the vast sums of wealth and influence attached to RenTec, the tone in these comments is disappointing...

There is no fraud at RenTec, and there is nothing magical about what they do. It's simply an amazing technical and scientific organization, operating with almost unthinkable efficiency and scale.

I haven't read the book, but I'm pretty sure this isn't in it: I've been told by reliable sources that if you pick any one strategy (however you are able to separate/define that) from the Medallion portfolio and it will not be individually remarkable--probably less than a 1.0 Sharpe (net of trading costs, gross of fees). There are countless hedge funds with equally performant models and sub-strategies.

What makes RenTec different is their ability to generate orthogonal strategies at a remarkable scale. They generate more ideas with less philosophical and empirical overlap than anyone else, by a wide margin. The software and theory required to do this for a fund as large as Medallion is absolutely as rare and valuable as their returns have proven.

Commitment device... they're really interesting but they can also cause you to do stupid things.

One example of a commitment device is to tell your friend something like "I'm going to write a book and get it published in six months and if I don't I'll give you $5k"

... the problem is, what if you legitimately decide that writing a book is just not for you?
there is plenty of payoff, and I'm not just talking about the social aspect of it. contrived example: they could do a youtube channel and winning those races gets them the cred from viewers to bring them thousands a month.

Since everything is monitizible, we'll probably see cheating in many places we dont traditionally see it. It reminds me of the movie limitless, everyone successful was doing the drug
That is very true. I didn't mean to imply that any dirt-track could receive that designation. It is however a 'checkbox' for those airports that do infact meet those requirements. {thus my "checkbox" statement}

Before I ever heard of such designation, I had a very glamorous opinion of what was required to be an 'international airport'. Things like regular flights from all over the world landing and taking off. Huge passenger gateways & terminals, and thousands/millions of people being served every day.

The airport in my town has 3 runways.
is serviced by 2 carriers.
has under 20 (closer to 10) arrivals on average per day.
Is only open part-time. (weekends + holidays)
It has 'international airport' status.

A tremendously HUGE Russian Cargo plane landed here to deliver a factory for a major automaker.

My point in the OP was that even 'minor' airports could be affected by that international border.
Notarization is a requirement for distributing your content outside the app store. Within it the requirements are even higher.
Never did I mention I had specified a model/brand. I just went to the mechanic and asked him "fix my transmission". Whatever the way he does it, if it works it's good to me.
In general, no.

You said, yourself, that Alberto "clearly has crossed the line". He didn't cross the line by pushing her, as an athlete; he crossed the line by fostering a culture of emotional and psychological abuse, in the name of athletic performance.
Now their content providers needs to realise, they have no obligation to host their content there.
The outrage is precisely that the government in power considers non violent protest movements "potential threats", yeah.

I mean, obviously if you don't agree with them you'd tend to view them in a less generous light (e.g. "Some of those hippies are loons, and all it takes is one with a weapon...") and view this decision as reasonable.

The problem with that thinking is that mere political disagreement is never a justification for "threat" in a democracy, by defintion. People disagree, that's the whole point. You need a history of violence, some rhetoric, something. But protesting ICE by itself isn't enough.

I have not had the unidentified application issue that the author posted but a full two thirds of my games in my Steam Library are flagged as not compatible with Catalina and most likely never will be.

Apple really needed a comparability method similar to how windows allowed you to simulate old environments. not always successfully but at least it was a chance

That notarization fee / process, I have not read beyond this story, does look to be a burden beyond what should be reasonable.

I don't know about the specifics of Electron but there are some tools to create MacOS installer packages on Linux[1]. I've done this to distribute a game written in the Renpy engine, it's a bit convoluted but it works. I'm not sure if app notarization is possible though (probably not), it's been a while since I dealt with this stuff and notarization wasn't required at the time.

https://developer.apple.com/support/compare-memberships/ says that distribution outside the Mac app store is a paid feature. Who's wrong, Apple or you?
An interesting irony here is that almost every founder I know who started a company that failed outright or went bankrupt were primarily ideologically motivated.

Whereas the successful founders were the ones who chased the bottom line, improve the world is a benefit.

I fall into the first camp, though I got lucky with an acquisition. However it tainted me on startups and business in general actually having the ability to be ideological. At the end of the day people need to get paid, otherwise it's a volunteer organization, and volunteer organizations don't scale.
Interesting...

That's also a little different in that the crew could possibly bail before the pilots ejected, at least in theory.

Which is similar to what the shuttle plan turned to post-Challenger, except the ejection seats were already gone.

The commander and pilot were supposed to hold a bail out orientation until the rest of the crew bailed, then put it on auto pilot (assuming it was working) and bail themselves.

My mom was an administrator at the local hospital, and always seemed to have too much on her plate.

The thing my dad would always criticize her about is that she always picked up the slack.

If you are putting in a valid effort, you have to let things slip. Otherwise the people above you won't know that you are being assigned too much.

The first thing you need to do is stop working at night. You are paid to work during the day. Anything beyond that is you taking on unpaid work.
After my wife had someone lie about 15+ hrs of working at home, I stopped believing in the "work at home" trend.

I understand it works for some, but since it doesn't work for everyone, I can see how people would be offended by an "unfair" policy.

Sure, if there is a clear start and end, these things could work. But on creative work that could go on forever, it's easy to cut corners.
Interesting. Were these small companies, or large ones as well?
I'm fairly sure the consensus from the hardware side, especially considering how companies like NVIDIA, Intel and Arm are reacting, is that we still have a lot of exponential growth to go, especially for AI. A factor 1000 increase in model sizes seems within reason within 10ish years; I go over some arguments in the link below.

"As a user... The $100/year dev license kinda sucks if you just want to hack around and distribute code"

If ISA decoupling is the goal then they should be mandating everyone write to a VM like the CLR or JVM (or variants like Dalvik).

It seems kind of silly to block x86 modes on x64 chips when the backwards compatibility needs of Windows pretty much insures "eternal" x86 modes. It's going to be a while before x86 modes disappear on Intel or AMD chips, and there's evidence to support that like the Itanium (IA-64) failure, and the fact that Windows on ARM made it a commitment to emulate x86 (but not x64) on ARM. x86 is likely going to be a lasting "lingua franca" ISA. Right now I'd almost put more money on x64 being retired before x86, and if anything from that perspective Apple is more tightly coupled to an ISA than before this choice.
This is more or less true but you have to draw the causal diagram carefully.

Everyone has an optimal weight for them (oversimplifying).

The best in the world tend to be very effective at very low weights. E.g. say 114 lbs at 5’7 for the sake of argument.

It does not follow that lowering a 5’7 runner’s weight to 114 will always cause improvement. MC is a counterexample.

Yes, I’m saying Salazar fell to a basic misconception. He’s had success, but he’s obsessed with dumb things. When you have insanely talented and durable athletes who actually do run best at e.g. 114 you start thinking your system works for everybody.
Think there are many others (you mentioned one of them e.g., TGS) but they are not in the same league as RenTec's medallion fund.
They all died except one. I think how things were handled with the survivor, also on video, is very telling of the humanity in all of us.

I hypothesize "fantasy consoles"* are potentially fertile ground for young developers. They impose a lot of restrictions, but to someone starting out that means fairly low limits to understanding the basics of the environment (as opposed to something like UE4). They're also cheap or free. And some of them (like PICO-8) host user-created games.

How to Use Data Science to Understand the Market?
I have heard this before (long haul stewardesses and breast cancer I think) but was that researched enough to say it like you say? Quite a lot of people who do this for decades without issues... I can see how it can be bad for people, but is the cause of that too little sleep, some reason of anxiety being unable to cope with 'the day', doing drugs, some stress factors that make it easier to work when the rest sleep etc; if one exchanges night with day fully, has that been proved to be objectively bad?
Not a startup, and not necessarily dying, but here’s a personal anecdote of mine that goes against this:

In 2016 I was working on a UX team, making improvements to components that were used across the entire front-end of the new platform we were building. One spring afternoon I was working on a new hierarchical selector widget while a quarterly executive town hall was playing on the projector in our team room. Midway through writing an AngularJS directive, our head of product surprise announced that we were pivoting and that the platform we had been building for the past year was going to be mostly thrown out. I basically closed my editor and never touched that component again.

The upshot here is that in startups or big companies, change can come very suddenly. And when big problems with a strategy are only known to those at the top, it makes the sudden changes even more surprising for those down the ladder. If you’ve got a bad board, you might find out about a change that you need to make the day that you need to make it.
can't you digitally swipe in the ccd then? just turn off individual detectors accordingly?

From the wiki:

Kerala's unusual socioeconomic and demographic situation was summarized by author and environmentalist Bill McKibben:[26]

Kerala, a state in India, is a bizarre anomaly among developing nations, a place that offers real hope for the future of the Third World. Though not much larger than Maryland, Kerala has a population as big as California's and a per capita annual income of less than $300. But its infant mortality rate is very low, its literacy rate among the highest on Earth, and its birthrate below America's and falling faster. Kerala's residents live nearly as long as Americans or Europeans. Though mostly a land of paddy-covered plains, statistically Kerala stands out as the Mount Everest of social development; there's truly no place like it.[26]
I feel like I can share this particular piece of gossip - hopefully it's useful to someone - I'm not particularly interested in going after this particular slice of business:

So we just had a sales guy join from a large electronics components distributor - the kind that handles the interfaces between

a) globally known consumer hardware brands both in "the west" and in PRC

b) the hardware manufacturers (mostly PRC, some TW)

c) the component manufacturers (mixed)

I had been assuming they had been running some super sophisticated globally integrated software system. I was really curious about how this stuff actually worked, in real life. It turns out it's just excel sheets and phone-calls in the end. They are working to introduce ERP systems, but..no.

This seems like something that's ripe for a software-based revolution.
Very cool. Do you have any info/resources on how the signal extraction works?
Notarization isn't the same as the App Store.

This is about whether a 3rd-party application downloaded from a 3rd-pary website can be run. It used to be that you only needed to pay to get onto the distribution and advertising channel, now you need to pay not to make your user jump through special hoops on an admin account.

It's not implausible to suggest that in the future, that loophole will be removed as well. Apple does not want you to download apps that they can't personally vet.

The complaint isn't that you need to pay to get into their store. Of course you do, that isn't surprising to anyone. It's about whether distribution channels exist outside of their store.

As to why that's a problem? To quote the author:

> It really upsets me because the iOS App Store policies basically prohibited art or anything interesting (nudity, glitch, error art...temperamental depending on who reviewed you for approval).

> It was hell for me to get things approved, and even when I got them approved I had to change so much about my work it really wasn't my work anymore. A platform holder shouldn't dictate so much about someone else's work.

Apple has been consistently behind the curve when it comes to recognizing the artistic potential of games[0]. On a cultural level, we don't want want them to be a gatekeeper for a medium. As a company they aren't responsible enough or smart enough for that job.

Seems more like you are expecting too much from normal people who are just trying to get by in life. Supporting communism doesn't mean you are going to join the local communist party and actively try to establish a dictatorship of the proletariat. That is orthogonal and depends on how politically active a person is.

What supporting communism means is when a communist shows up on the ballot box, you are likely to vote for them. That in itself is a huge shift from the older generations.

> “In fact, it's kind of weird when you think about it, because our definition of success is that the founders get rich.“

Does this not appear to be really terrible to others? That the metric of success is just founders getting rich? At minimum, what about employees? But really, shouldn’t we be aiming higher where the companies are creating useful impact on the world and improving it?

I understand he’s saying this as a contrast to the investors getting rich, but this train of thought and the people chasing it is what has caused SF to lose its soul IMHO.
This reminds everyone of some game or another, but ‘spreadsheet’-driven daily grind sims have been around for ages. I've seen similarly minimalistic coder simulators for DOS and Windows 95, however to my knowledge the same-mechanics game with the most ports and clones is Drugwars / Dope Wars: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drugwars. Personally I was playing it on an olden Palm in the mid-2000s.
Congratulations on releasing 1.0. This will be a huge milestone in making async programming very approachable to newer Rust devs and a solid base to build upon. There's a lot to like about async-std: It keeps things as similar as possible to std, and the general focus on a well-designed public API, relies on small and shared abstractions for library authors (through futures-rs), good documentation from the start, and a very encouraging community attitude. Keep it going :-)
I suspect that it's like a wasp trap. In theory they could walk out if they could find the exit, but the exit is in a spot they aren't looking.
The airline status is just because they spend their lives flying every week. More of a curse than a blessing...
I mean what is the end effect of this though? Basically some smart people get very rich. Due to zero-sum game, other people lose. No benefit is derived in the real economy. The only possible benefit is increased liquidity... which really isn't that beneficial past a point right? I don't see the benefit. If you have a different angle I'd be glad to hear it.

What exactly is the problem with just focusing on everyone? Indeed, it might turn out that the cost of "focusing" is actually more than the added cost (if any) of providing the universal service.

I think the Carrier to the PLAN is more of a status symbol. They have global ambitions and a superpower cannot be a superpower without a carrier. China has been focusing on anti-access area denial or A2AD. This is why the various disputed islands are so crucial to the PRC's long-term strategic goals of controlling all access to the South China Sea. Along with the missile batteries sprinkled all along the Chinese coast, the PRC has been reclaiming land on disputed islands and building up a defensive military presence. They saw how important Hawaii is to the US ability to project power, so they've started to create their own Hawaiis.

They tried testing the waters a few years ago by claiming the entire SCS as their Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and required all vessels and aircraft to request access to navigate through. The US immediately flew a couple bombers to assert the US claims of free navigation and to attempt to delegitimize those claims. Nearly a decade ago, the US Navy and USAF partnered together to come up with a counter strategy to China's A2AD, but that effort was halted a few years ago, presumably because there was no real way to get the military power needed to defend Taiwan in position without real risk of loss of life. I imagine at this point that any effort to defend Taiwan, which we are treaty-bound to do, would likely rely on long-range fighters and missiles launched from US submarines.
