I like the idea, and have always been displeased by the lame underpowered inverters they often put in autos. That said, a compact, quiet 2.5kw inverting generator that weighs about 50lbs will only set you back about $300. Hopefully the addon is comparably priced.

The USA does effectively have a negative tax rate at that level with EITC, that's what he's saying.

$9/hr * 2080 hours = $18,720
After deductions that's $6,520 of taxable income. Eligible for EITC so a tax rate of negative $3,526. So if they paid zero federal income tax all year they'd get a "refund" check of $3,526 (except its not a refund, since they paid zero, its a negative tax rate)

Not logging in production code is a recipe for not being able to fix some key user problems. Remote logging is mandatory for a high quality app.

They still exist. Find a small community and join it.

I’m on a forum of about 100 people who chat about crossover fanfiction, with a good share of us writing our own fics. And other random topics too, of course. It’s fun, self-hosted, and no news feed.

Maybe it can still exist because of the high proportion content creators, making the community feel like a community.

When it comes to things like internal R&D projects, military and government matters, and a huge amount of the tech industry's goings-on, the only source is the company itself. This is a serious challenge facing press in many industries.

How do you propose Casey should have challenged or verified whether the Aquila flew as well as claimed? Any data about the craft would come from FB, any paper describing it would be published by FB, any researchers who worked on it would work at FB. Anyone else who might be an "objective" source would be under NDA. Companies are very thorough about this sort of thing.

A journalist doing an investigative piece on the Aquila would not take Zuckerberg's words as gospel, but that doesn't mean those words are unimportant. This was a news piece, and CEOs speaking publicly about an R&D project, and answering questions and so on, is an opportunity to provide a different kind of value. Readers are curious about details companies don't always provide, and also require context that isn't always obvious. Reporters do this work too - it's not all cloak and dagger stuff, whistleblowers and top-secret dossiers.

Aquila was a solar-powered drone that FB wanted to use to create a laser-powered internet for developing countries. That's an interesting story that should be told - and not just by the company, which would leave out important parts like opposition to Internet.org or indeed the unfinished nature of the aircraft. That's important work for reporters as well - filling in those gaps so that readers' understanding of a topic or event is more full than it would be had only people with a stake in it done so.

I also have not seen the pattern you describe and am not sure it's as endemic as you suggest.
Brave is chromium under the hood. Not really sure why you think it would be slower than ungoogled-chromium.

Ditto for developer / power-user experience – it's still chromium. Just with an ad-blocker written in Rust built-in and some other features.

The government's actual purpose is the one thing no business can do, which is to use physical force against people that murder, rape, steal, defraud, etc. Businesses can't serve that role because armed businesses fighting with each other would quickly devolve into violent anarchy (and not the stable utopia anarchists claim).

Incidentally, 19th-century America had a lot of faults and flaws (it was incredibly racist), but an absolutely unprecedented amount of scientific and industrial progress was made without much public spending at all.

The jaw of comparative advantage tells us that unrestrained trade benefits both parties. It means we get to deploy our workforce into higher value and higher paying jobs, while they get to increase their standard of living as well.

Some implementation questions:

How do you ensure that they get properly sterilized/cleaned after every use?

How many years of life are you aiming at? What is your system for finding containers at the end of their life that may soon fail?

What weights are you aiming for. What strength are you aiming for. What about padding?

What price point are you aiming at for each container?

How easily removable is the ink? What happens if the ink gets removed in transit? Is the store allowed to re-ink that, or are they required to ship the package as damaged back to the manufacturer.

How do you ensure that the package has not been tampered with?

Given that this will result in extra bulk and weight compared to a custom designed package, (which we have now), how confident are you that this would end up being carbon neutral?

Which is why myself and many others in the industry would not see a problem using different terms. I know I don't need to explain this to you, but we're in a constantly evolving industry subject to rapid change. It's something we're all accustom to so one more minor change, especially one that's inconsequential to the industry as a whole but significant to the people it affects, shouldn't be a point of contention. Our industry has always been focused on the future and part of that innovation is being able to let go of our fleeting past and keep moving forward.

I buy Thinkpad branded keyboard/trackpoint combos for server environments where a full size HID setup would be in the way.

I like trackpoints a lot -- the lenovo quality is suffering though. I have a lot of problems lately with the trackpoints wandering by themselves without human contact. This used to be because of a center cap that was incorrectly installed on older ThinkPad notebooks, but these keyboards do it without the cap at all -- like a problem with calibrating 'true zero'.

Oh well. It's a pretty limited market, gotta take what I can get.
Not the way Apple does it, pricing and cancellation instructions up front.

Some would argue tricking users into a free trial without telling them the subscription price is a scam. Once they start to depend on the app, it’s much harder to not subscribe.
Of course, because as soon as they do that, they’ll start planning to phase out humans as much as possible. It’s clear that we are on the cusp of total automation. Moving a factory to US is probably just more costly than to pay employees $16 for a few more years.

And the employees who are left are highly paid engineers anyways.

I love that the protocol uses the string “BREAK”. Old teletypes, and in particular the iconic ASR-33 had a key marked “BREAK” that was not a character; it simply held the line open. This could be interpreted by the person on the other end as a sign to reset what was going on and start again, or really anything that might have been pre-agreed.

With the advent of computing, and connecting teletypes to computers, it was often used to trigger an NMI. Multics and the rainbow books cited it as a way to make sure you were talking to the “real computer and not some program impersonating your computer (since it wasn’t an actual character there was no way for a normal program to even see it much less generate it. The terminal controller/channel controller could see it though and notify the monitor (what we call the “kernel” these days).

I suspect in that in any base b, and for any collection of base b digits such that the gcd of the whole set is 1, there are infinitely many primes which only use those digits. I also suspect the Mersenne case b=2, set={1}, is the hardest.

Clegg's mistake was agreeing to "alternative vote" being an option instead of a proper system of proportional representation which would have made a victory like Johnson's in late 2019 near impossible (though not impossible, as the Scottish system _designed_ to keep the SNP out of power showed).

In terms of moderating an otherwise horrific bunch of people (see every action since 2015), Clegg and the Liberal Democrats did a reasonable job.

Do not read this as a defence of his employment at Facebook, where he has shown himself to be for sale to the highest bidder at any available opportunity.

Disagree on most points, actually:

>Faster, less bloat

Stock Firefox doesn't actually have that much bloat, and it's not noticeably slower than Chrome on reasonably modern hardware (i.e.: most page loads are near-instant, same as in Chrome on a good connection).

>Extension support for Chromium is way better too

Until Google decides that your extension is unworthy of being in their store. This notably happened with Pushbullet quite recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23168874

... Until Google inexplicably restored it a few days later, but not before lots of accusations were thrown around.

IMO it's also worth noting that ungoogled-chromium is (obviously) an unofficial fork of Chromium. Google may at any time change Chromium so substantially as to either require Google integration at some fundamental level for even the most basic functionality, causing too much work for such a low-profile effort to continue, or just make Chromium closed-source. With Firefox, that risk doesn't exist because of the business motivations of the company that develops it.
That’s basically what airbus did to create the A320neo series; add in larger engines (including the same one the MAX8 uses, actually), and make a few minor tweaks to improve weight or aerodynamic efficiency. Done correctly it’s a brilliant move; 15-20% fuel savings without the need to significantly change pilot or maintenance (sans engines) protocols. Sadly the MAX8 was not done correctly.
"...600 billion parameters using automatic sharding. We demonstrate that such a giant model can efficiently be trained on 2048 TPU v3 accelerators in 4 days to achieve far superior quality for translation from 100 languages to English compared to the prior art."

It does appear that at the initial, resource intensive stages of tech like NLP big tech is primed to pave the way. We saw this happen across cloud, AI more generally, storage etc. But big tech then begins focusing on making the tech accessible to industry value chains (Azure, AWS, Amazon's AI services etc.). But as the industry matures there's more room for specialized startups/companies to enter the space to capture lucrative niches - thats exactly what Snowflake did for Cloud.

Definitely see this kind of scale as a step toward a more robust, mature industry if anything. Better it move forward than not.
Similar situations happen in many places around the world.

Factory workers are usually not well educated and they don’t handle money well.

A perfect example is Alberta oil sands. Many workers are extremely well paid. Most of them just spend everything and manage to get in debt with lavish lifestyle. Buying expensive cars, toys, large houses. They end up without any significant net worth and now are also hostage of their lifestyle.

There’s a term for that: lifestyle inflation.

This is upsetting to see but not surprising. As a daily Kong user, the website has been going downhill hard over the past decade. Especially over these last 3-5 years, it's been a wasteland of terrible quality games. In it's early days, Kong was a fantastic place to be. Friendly communities and amazing games. Especially the earlier RPGs and MMOs. I had such fun on the older MMOs that have all since been such down. From AA:TG, Odin Quest, Call of Gods, RotMG, and more. Kong was a huge part of my teenage years.

As Flash started to wane, the quality of games dropped sharply. Even then the devs who did take the plunge and learn Unity, the games from that released on Kong rarely lived up to the quality of Flash games. The chat rooms also become more niche and weird. As an example, there were one or two major teen dating public chat rooms that they could never get control of. No matter how many people they banned, they'd just keep making new accounts.
