If you consistently churn out good content, you will have people's attention, and that attention is monetizable. It has never been easier to go from nobody in the middle of nowhere to somebody known everywhere. There isn't one big category of losers so much as pockets of people who don't adapt well to the platform economy.

I do, however, think that we should reduce monopolistic behavior by platforms to enhance gains to content producers and consumers. I also think that the government should provide a better safety net, so that content producers don't have to lose several years of their life to a miserable, existential slog with the hope of stardom. It might still be a slog, but it doesn't have to be so miserable (no government health insurance is a big factor in America).
> There’s a fascinating economics lesson in how many people are concerned by the cost of a phone but never mention the service plans which almost always cost more.

This is the reason why "free phone" plans are so popular. IMO, it's always lower TCO to unbundle these "deals", but so many people only care about their maximum monthly cost.

Google's handset portfolio is starting to get a bit messy. Ignoring any earlier but still available models you have a 4 in 64GB and 128GB versions, a 4a without a 64GB option, a 4a 5G that also differs from the regular 4a in some other specs, no 4 5G, an announced straight 5 and presumably everything in regular and XL versions that may or may not differ in other specs as well. Reminds me of how Motorola made people completely oblivious to new models because there were just too many of them.

Hint: if you make it too hard for customers to feel well-informed about your devices all but the most casual buyers will simply avoid your brand.

Please though, if you ever use these (or any icons, frankly), PLEASE accompany the icons with text so my aging parents -- and heck, me too -- know what they mean.

All too often I am helping my family members navigate UIs that are "clean" yes (plenty of whitespace! too much) but with icons that hide everything and don't mean anything.

"Oh, to send it to your daughter? Click the 3 lines in the top right corner, then click the two lines joined by a circle. Er, the one that looks like a chart. Yeah, that means 'share' apparently. You just have to know that."

I kind of miss the days when software didn't change so much and came with instruction manuals.

I have an S8 Edge which is narrower than these current phones, and even that I find too big. The previous generation iPhone SE was really the last phone that I didn't involuntarily drop on my face when trying to operate it whilst lying down.
I'm glad to see that they are making improvement to latency issues. It has always been an issue for me the fact that you need to way several seconds for basic packages to load. I don't think you need to pre-jit so much code to make this work.
So you need to understand how the commercial real estate world works to know you can’t just “hold off on mortgage payments” for very long. Most loans backed by CRE are securitized. So they are packaged into bonds. These bonds are not just banks, they are funds. Funds that hold and generate monthly payments for millions of American’s pensions/retirement/etc. This isn’t just rich old landlords won’t get their money, it is a large number of Americans, the money will stop. Bonds will simply default from lack of loan payments. Yes, the Gov can keep it afloat for a short period, but we’re talking trillions of dollars. This is the giant elephant in the room right now that the “Main Street’ is unaware of. It could potentially be very nasty. What happens if 50 million+ Americans stopped receiving/had cut significantly their pension/retirement payments? CRE is a top asset class, one of the biggest.
On top of their horrible response, the media seems to be giving Cuomo a pass, which i dont understand.
For the main example given (exercise), I think for people like me there really is no thinking involved. It's purely an emotional aversion to discomfort and disenjoyment of physical activity. I think the better advice is to search for physical hobbies you enjoy rather than to 'just do it' (tm).

> But we have no model for what a healthy, capitalism-free society would look like. Every attempt at removing capitalism from the system has led to totalitarian results.

That's not quite accurate, since capitalism hasn't always existed and markets haven't haven't always been the primary means of exchange. There's also a fairly broad range of capitalist systems with different trade offs. We also don't know if capitalism won't also ultimately lead to totalitarian results.

In these discussions, we also probably need to make a distinction between capitalism and markets. You could perhaps have a society that keeps markets more-or-less as they are but "removes capitalism" by implementing a different relationship between labor and ownership, for instance.

> This doesn't prove that capitalism is the best possible system, but it strongly suggests that alternatives are worse.

I dispute the latter point. It's kinda like saying the failure of the iAPX 432 and Itanium strongly suggests there's no better alternative to the x86 architecture. In this case, I don't think we have much understanding about what's unknown.
The attitude that any country has "already dealt with it" is exactly what's concerning. The history of this year is just an endless sequence of people saying "we've got it, it's under control now" before getting smashed by a huge new spike of cases. Many countries did better than the US, and many of the ones who didn't at least suppressed the virus more - but now a lot of them are following in the US's lead and continuing to reopen as cases rise.

Apple actually worked on the Arm6 architecture along with Acorn in the late 80's/early 90's. In this instance, it's fair to say that they did invent this and argualbly showed interest in the platform before anyone else.
It is all about virion particles per cubic meter (similar to how they classify class ## cleanrooms for the semiconductor, but in that case they talk about dust particles).

Outdoor air works through dilution (‘the solution to pollution is dilution’ is the phrase often used).

Indoor air being purified is often much cleaner than outdoor air (assuming CO2 levels are not of any concern), this is especially true during wildfire season.

If you purchase a PM2.5 sensor and put it in your kitchen while you make toast, you will be shocked. (do this with and without an air purifier near by to be calmed :))

It cannot be described as risk free. It is 100% guaranteed to lose money to inflation at the bare minimum.
> Banks can weather that without issue

citation definitely needed on that. I don't think the banking system is set up to see Billions of dollars in monthly revenue disappear every night. This could take ALL of the slack out of the system and would almost certainly prompt a run on the banks

Messing with the banking system to this extent is one of few conceivable ways you could see the USA have a total economic collapse

"Multi-year" is technically correct but a little rosy: Google cuts off software updates including security updates after 3 years, by which time one can also expect the hard-to-replace battery to be degraded, and increased probability of screen damage. Phones aren't really designed to be durable objects.

That said, I do appreciate Google's "a" variant of their recent phones for the emphasis on practicality and usability (headphone jack, battery capacity), and the $349 price tag doesn't seem extravagant for what you're getting. Mostly, I just wish they came in a smaller size.
My S8 just received a security update a couple weeks ago, which puts it at over 3 years of updates. It's stuck on Android 9 though.
There is going to be inflation. Options are some now or more later.
And also, there was a time where he really loved templates (hell, all of us did).

But yes, you are completely right: teams developing ultra complex languages (e.g. C++, Scala, Ada) usually fail to understand that the fact their language can do everything all the other languages can do is exactly the problem.

The value of these other languages is precisely choosing not to have certain features.
I'm ignorant as to how that's done right now. So correct me if I'm wrong but:

To "migrate" you basically want to have all your "followers" follow your new account. For obvious reasons you cannot just let people arbitrarily make others follow them. So the process must be mediated by the server(s). If your original server doesn't like you they can cut off your ability to "migrate".

And on top of that any server that doesn't like you can just cease interacting with you regardless of whether your "followers" like you or not.

"ravages" the central valley, how many deaths in the valley? I couldn't find that in the article. Seems like it would be important to mention? Instead the death total given is for the entire state.

Personally I'm happy the Pocophone F1 finally has some competition in the quality-reasonably-priced segment.

For Normies the 4a will probably be the best software-wise while I still consider the Pocophone a great device due to its repairability and large battery (good FOSS ROM support is important but luckily given on such popular devices).

I think a lot of people are rightly sensing a shrinking of the Overton window[0]. For example, I think the following is a perfectly reasonable position to hold: "It would be a remarkable happenstance if, in a perfectly free society, men and women were found in equal proportion in every industry. Indeed, the default expectation should be that there will be variability in this regard."

Saying that in today's environment with my name attached would get me fired, so I keep my mouth shut. A perfectly reasonable position, and I cannot speak it for fear of losing the ability to care for my family.

A) Archive.org

B) We are recording way more today than at any point in history. It is not like what is currently on Reddit and Tik Tok would have been published in books, with copies stored on slides and archived in libraries around the world. It would have been done in person (or never at all), and never written down in the first place.
I think this is a shallow analysis. In the past and in many societies it’s fair to say that religion and social order were one and the same.

So it’s not wrong to say marriage has its roots in religion, but the cause to create marriage hasn’t gone away even if religion isn’t a factor: Can you imagine how difficult it was for a single parent (especially women) to raise a child alone, a few millenia ago? I think it’s fair to say that it caused major problems.

Even today raising children is still extremely difficult. Raising a productive citizen is another order of magnitude of difficulty.

That's a pretty disingenuous way to frame things. The state of TX has experienced 7,341 deaths out of 454,364 confirmed cases - so far.

Besides a 1.61% death rate being nothing to sneeze at (and it's probably actually higher than that), you have absolutely no idea how many of those 28.9 million Texans will ultimately contract COVID - nor will you always personally know if you're an asymptomatic carrier, responsible for infecting more of your fellow citizens.

To each their own, but I would not want to take my chances with the actual odds you face in TX today. And I wouldn't take those chances with other people's lives. It's not just about you.
I don't know Julia's implementation, but random number generation is far from being standard across languages. There are several algorithms with their own pros/cons, and as architectures change, so change the requirements on good random number generators.

Not just right-wing. I've seen the same approach from marxists. (Not an exaggeration or a projection - from literal marxists.) The unstated, unproven assumption is that Marx was right, and the analysis proceeds from there to make dogmatic statements about the economy and/or society. That's fine, if the readers are also convinced marxists. But if someone else reads it, they very quickly think "Wait a minute, I don't agree with your premise, and you did nothing to convince me. Why should I believe your conclusions?"

Did I miss a beat and somehow thousands of developers have ported their apps to Windows ARM?

Last I heard Adobe only had a few tools working on the ARM version of Windows and only a few other developers were onboard.

From the sounds of it, when Apple Silicon goes live, there is going to be a pretty big selection of native apps (Plus they have iPad/ iPhone apps). The fact that Windows ARM didn't support emulating 64 bit x86 out the gate didn't help either since a lot of pro tools are 64 bit.
Conan and vcpkg are not even remotely standardized on in the C++ community, and C++ teams I've worked on/with recently wouldn't use either of them, preferring raw CMake only. That said, if the whole community could really get behind one of them and throw immense support behind it for several years, it would probably be possible to largely solve this problem for C++.
In my case, I'd strongly want to avoid direct IP connections to my cameras from a smartphone. That'd suggest very easy outside access to devices that have questionable security.

What scares me is that any large org -- facebook, instagram, AP News, Google, the BBC -- could just delete all of their archives, or get some sort of nasty randsomware that just deletes everything or rewrites everything. And that's just an automated thing; the 1984-syle deliberate rewrites could be done via an automated script or some next-gen GPT-3 thing.
