> but consumers don't care about these advantages enough to make the switch.

And, more importantly, governments see those attributes as a downside, and would no doubt clamp down hard on crypto on-ramps in the event that they ever started getting significant uptake.
Ok let's look at the data.

We Work is not making more money than initially invested. Same can be said for, Uber, Netflix, Twitter, snapchat, etc. Etc. Etc.

So yes... All this money is "unsavory". The whole IT industry is actually filled with "hot air" unsavory money. So what exact data should be looking at?

If I look at it from a Hollywood perspective, the Corp. Scillicon valley it industry is a giant pyramid scheme club for rich people.

Frequently people early-terminate their ideas. Often to the person doing this it sounds like trying to conquer gravity. A coworker of mine would assume some constraints were immutable. So I'd be on the other side of the table. Examples:

* We need Bob, but Bob is busy working on the other thing -> but what if Bob wants to work on this and this thing is more important. I'll ask him.

* We would need at least 32 TB RAM to process this in-memory -> okay, looks like we're going to GCP with some big requests then

* We can't scale like that in the datacenter (the capital costs are too high) and we don't have the time to move to the cloud -> I can find you the time.

* We can't fix that bug, it would cause downtime -> okay, tell me when you want that downtime. How much do you want?

* They won't sell us their data -> we can buy the company itself.

Almost everything except natural laws are mutable.

EDIT: Sadly, chris, I am rate-limited but we actually did take all the actions on the right. That isn't to say someone can idiotically offer these things when they aren't an option, but asking the question does often have value.

We do as the Americans do. We take a lot of ideas from there, with a bit of a lag. It might change in a few years, but on the other hand, smoking MJ is not that common here and mostly low status people do it. While in the US it seems to be pretty common across the board.
I agree with all but 4, 7, and 9. I expect at least another moon landing by someone and I do think Starship will fly, though maybe only to LEO or translunar flyby by 2030. 3nm will be successful but may be the last conventional node. India etc. will get hotter but they will build nuclear reactors and air conditioners, though the poor will suffer more. Overall the poor and failed states will suffer the most from climate change.
I don't really care about the price of the phone, because I'm sure it's more expensive to produce on a smaller scale than mainstream manufacturers, but the plan is $30 for unlimited texting and calling? Really?

You can get unlimited minutes/SMS and several GB for $10-20/mo from various MVNOs nowadays. Why they would bother marketing a plan that is $30/mo with no data is beyond me.
Do you have any idea how much can go wrong with a human body and in how many different ways? And we're not even close to figuring out all the illnesses. Sure, brain cancer they can detect just fine, but try to go to a doctor because you're fatigued or have joint pain or other inflammation related issues. See the shit show you'll run into then. 9 out of 10 times they'll toss you through a few machines and then claim it's psychological.

Most doctors are just guessing, some are just better at making it appear they know what they are doing to improve placebo. I rather have a doctor that's using Google than one that thinks he knows what's wrong but doesn't fact check.
You'll never know :)

Engineering Explained did a good piece on the Taycan, and at the end, they cover the difference between the Porsche and Tesla philosophy on battery; and how the Porsche philosophy gives them a consistent throttle feel, a 'held back' battery buffer so regen ability is not inconsistent, etc.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYMRXlRoHyQ

But, at the end of the day, the Taycan is still just breathtakingly inefficient compared to the Tesla.

It's all fine and good that other manufacturers are "holding back" capacity, but all that means is you're hauling around battery weight you can't use, and won't use until you've burned through a certain % of battery longevity. If you do at all.

It's not "helping" anyone, it's just giving them bragging rights about effectively, fake degredation numbers.

Here's some great data on how Tesla batteries degrade:

https://electrek.co/2018/04/14/tesla-battery-degradation-dat...

I guess the question is, would you rather see that a smaller number that never goes down? Or be able to use more of the capacity?
I’m guessing one factor in that is the appetite suppression effects of both. I heard a story (though perhaps apocryphal) about tobacco use increasing during the Great Depression specifically because of that side effect.
> the alternatives like "self regulation" have been proven throughout history to not be scalable

On the contrary, self-regulation is now the preferred form of government. It used to be the case that most governments were led by an entity outside the government and outside the purview of the state and society (a monarch). Today most countries are democracies, which means self-regulation of the society by the people that constitute that society, typically via some kind of elected leadership positions (but not always).

Self-regulating markets have also proven to be the most straightforward way to feed and house and provide a middle-class life for most people. Certainly superior to the more planned economies that preceded it.
> Second, I think these systems ignore player incentives. I think that global competitive ranking encourages the worst of playerbases, that skill is an arbitrary mechanism to optimize on instead of something like how close each match was, or player-reported satisfaction levels, or variety of play-styles, or any other of a dozen other metrics.

I think you're totally missing the point. Computing a global competitive rating isn't intended to optimize for skill. Rating is a proxy for skill, sure, but generally it's being used in matchmaking because (a) rating gap is a not-completely-terrible proxy for closeness of matches (because skill gap is a decent proxy for closeness of matches), which contributes to player satisfaction, and (b) you can derive it from easy-to-measure data and while there are fiddly details, everyone is roughly on the same page as to what you're trying to approximate.

It happens that, once you compute that, it's really tempting to sort and report. Perhaps that's a mistake and invites the worst of people's instincts to make numbers go more and bigger.

This still has the constraint that all the players are playing the same game, but as long as you can somehow avoid ascribing value to rank placement then many forms of cheating just stop mattering; the cheaters self-sort themselves into a tier where they don't interact with anyone who can't deal with them.
It's just RoundCube?
The other funny thing is the common misconception that Bitcoin does not have smart contracts. Bitcoin transactions are actually pretty programmable. You can have a coin be unspendable until a certain date, or have it require n cosigners to be spent, or have it become spendable only once a secret is revealed which matches a hash.

Bitcoin most definitely has smart contracts.
Thank you. However, why do the bank websites allow Google Chrome on windows but do not allow Google Chrome on Linux.
Yeah, obviously I panicked with that reaction, but it's a rare condition. And I obviously ran to my doctor with the whole story as soon as it happened anyway. Fortunately, I feel quite comfy talking to the docs about my drug use, so I'm well monitored.

And you know how it is, you can get SJS from Ibuprofen and Naproxen. You can't live in fear of low probability occurrences. But you're right in that it's worth making that decision in an informed manner, and keeping my doctors informed of what I intend is part of that.
Is there a demo I can use without building the source code?
I think a lot of these posts aren't arguing "never build a side project to learn a new technology". I think they're arguing you should go into it eyes wide open, deciding if you're trying to learn new tech or build a side project. Because the first goal will interfere quite bit with the second goal. And more than a few devs have made the mistake of trying to start a new business on new tech and have blown their foot off.
How did it almost work at extracting dumb money from retail investors? It didn’t even get close to an IPO. They paid a bunch of banks to have some meetings, but as soon as the numbers were disclosed, no one seems to have been fooled.
There was a time where motherboards were shipping with terrible BIOS, and you could save a bunch of money by buying one of those that was returned and flashing it first thing.For things without a good chance of easy fixes, though, I would probably not buy a previously returned one.

Of course, now they don't really have that kind of merchandise, so this knowledge is pretty much worthless :P
I've been considering trying out Flutter, but mainly due to my frustrations with React Native and I'm not entirely sure if others have had similar experiences or if Flutter would be any better. I have all kinds of issues with React Native tooling stability: code randomly reverts back to previous versions with hot reloading, things only partially update when I make changes, the same styles sometimes have inconsistent behavior, Flex doesn't always work the way that it should (justify-content is sometimes simply ignored for example) and things that should look the same on iOS and Android sometimes don't. So I guess my questions to those reading this are:
1. Have you had similar experiences using React Native?
2. Have you had these kinds of problems using Flutter as well?

I'm seriously considering rebuilding a prototype we have at work in Flutter in my spare time but I'd hate for it to be a similar situation to React Native where it appears to save me time at first and then fucks me over and only makes everything take more effort to get right.

The problem with the fire department is the freerider problem - if I pay for the fire department’s “protection” but my neighbor doesn’t, and his/her house is on fire, the fire department has to save my neighbor’s house in order to save mine, so the neighbor is not incentivised to pay.

Why not just get the bottom of the line unlocked Android phone from Walmart for $39?[1] Delete the Google crap, install F_Droid and some basic apps.

Someone could compete with these guys by buying low-end phones in bulk and reconfiguring them that way. Sell it for $49.

ML Ops: Machine Learning as an Engineering Discipline
stock dividends.
I would. And honestly, I can. But I'm not the owner/maintainer of the full pipeline that gets The Product into the hands of the end user. I write the code. Someone else wants it stacked in a specific way that matches the production environment.

But the path from my desk to that environment changes twice a quarter. And each change requires me to change something in the stack of tooling. Why? I honestly don't know. I suspect it's some kind of incompetence: employee turnover means less-experienced folks take over, and they don't know, or can't be bothered to learn, the previous guy's stack. Or the stack is chosen by the new Senior Middle Manager every time that position changes because he's not familiar with that last iteration of technobabble.

Whatever the case, it's really because the company has become too unwieldy, hiring too many technology employees, and far too many business folk. You want me to stop "playing" with tools? Let me get deep knowledge on one set and stop getting new ones. Let me actually build something instead of forcing me to navigate the org structure every time "one inconsequential end user" wants to make a change to a feature.
> Fat accumulation or loss is simple physics.

No, it isn't. The biochemistry controlling nutrient uptake or release by different tissues is incredibly complex and nowhere near fully understood, which is part of the reason that studies like this one are interesting. We don't really know how any given calorie surplus or deficit maps to subcutaneous fat vs. visceral fat vs. thermogenesis vs. muscle vs. fatty liver. We don't really know why some people develop T2D at a normal weight, some people only develop it if they're obese, and some people never develop it despite being morbidly obese.

Pretending that this is a simple and solved problem doesn't really help anybody except authors of diet books.

My thoughts:

1. Needs a bigger screen so that texting in portrait is possible / texting in landscape allows you to see the convo.
2. Needs data and basic data-driven apps - google maps, spotify. Any apps that aren't addictive and are used every day seem like they should be in any modern phone, even those intended to be minimalist.

I "need" things like banking on my phone, as well as email realistically.
>Probably worse than a soda after doing that.

I take a half teaspoon of sugar plus about a tenth of a cup of milk in my coffee. That's 2 grams of sugar, for the sugar, plus 1.3g of sugar in the milk, so 3.3g of sugar for my coffee.

A 12oz can of coke, on the other hand, has 39 grams of sugar. A cup's worth of orange juice has 21 grams.

To get to a sugar value for my coffee that exceeds a soda, I would need:

- 10 teaspoons of sugar

or

- 3 cups worth of milk

or let's go 50/50

- 5 teaspoons of sugar with a cup and a half of milk.

Even flipping the milk to coffee creamer, which has 5 grams of sugar per serving, still requires a significant amount to be added to even near the sugar in a soda.

So let's keep it in perspective just how bad soda is compared to essentially everything else on offer. Hell you could drink about 8 750ml bottles of red wine before you hit the same sugar content as a can of coke.

As unavoidable as sugar? Not even close, at least in my experience. I run across it in chocolate and soda (don't have much of either), and in the occasional dessert like tiramisu. Other than that, it's really easy to avoid, at least for me. Where do you run across it?

>The cost savings comes from the fact that instead of having to hire independent auditors to verify the paper trail, the blockchain serves as an immutable audit log and can be verified programmatically.

I don't know enough about the financial industry to know if a real actual problem is being solved here. I do assume that any bank in this industry is already required by law to keep a record of all transactions, and that it's all digitally processed and stored. You'd have to hire an auditor to verify the blockchain software too, and even on the ongoing basis, to audit the infrastructure to make sure it hasn't been improperly modified.

More and more, the voice calling feature is becoming obsolete. With the exception of hands free use in the car while driving, I essentially never use my phone to make calls.
