One reason could be that consumer software is somehow forced to have a good UX because they need more users. More users more profit.

Enterprise users are already all there. Once a solution is choosen users are forced to use the software as is, no matter how bad or good it is. There is just no more incentives to make it better for corporate users. Think SAP, it make me think of this every time I see it.

Let me amend your hypothetical. The pesticide presentation is the twentyth such presentation on various topics you've seen today. You see this many every year, and the safety sheets have always been accurate. And, if this pesticide is not used, it is known that the people of your community will suffer and/or die.

Does your understanding of the companies history outweigh your experience of the formats history?

The 737 is a far larger plane. The Celera has capacity for 6 passengers, while you can cram over 200 into a 737.

For a better comparison, the world's most popular aircraft, the four-seater Cessna 172, needs under 500 feet to take off in optimal conditions, although you might need 1500 feet if fully loaded and high up.

http://www.dmjwilliams.co.uk/gbsep_performance.htm (in meters, not feet)

However, the Cessna Citation M2 business jet, which targets a similar market as the Celera, also requires ~3000 ft (again depending on weight, altitude, conditions). So not seeing a huge difference here.

Yeah, I'm regretting upgrading Google Maps on iOS recently. For some reason now, whenever I bump the phone, the map view changes. I need my map view to show me going left when I turn left and right when I go right in order to make sense of things, but it will usually end up in a static "north = top of screen" orientation, no matter what I do. It's turned a good piece of software into something almost unusable.

Edit: Well, what do you know, I just upgraded again (because it can't get a whole lot worse), and it's back to expected behavior.

Why do you care about unsigned binaries when self-signed binaries work fine and the linker produces signatures automatically? It's just a technical change in the required format for executables, not a substantive change in what you're able to do. You may as well complain that macOS doesn't support ELF binaries.
Absent government regulation doesn't necessarily lead to the scenario you described of everyone having to test the dice all the time.

Third party certifiers could (and many believe would) emerge as trusted testers. For example, if you own a casino you can request certification from the "Fair Dice Association." They can then certify that your dice are fair. I as a consumer know they're reputation, and I trust their due diligence.

This also has the benefit of utilizing free-market competition to drive down costs and ensure quality. It also avoids granting an authorization of violence, which some people believe is wrong whether it's a "government" or not.

This isn't purely theoretical. It already happens. SOC 2 certification from the AICPA is a great example.
I mean, I have no idea what the expert climate science groups are but I still trust that they have a better idea of what's going on than I do. In this case, they just happen to know that this is one expert AI group.

I’m trying to learn Spanish. I’ve picked up a few Spanish language fiction books, presently starting on Harry Potter y la piedra filosofal. I’ve tried reading other books, like Jorge Luis Borges’ Ficciones, but I’ve found it to be above my present level.

> What the hell was wrong with the second season?

The second book I thought was they same.

The problem I think is the premise is broken. It's the Teletransportation paradox basically. And the more you expand on that the more it breaks down.

In season one it's obvious the sleeves are not you since you can double sleeve, but also people are happy to die. Also you can live forever in AI. The season whips out before you can think.

Season two....
It's a Diesel. The engine is made by RED in Germany.[1] Almost the same Diesel powers the YAK-152 trainer.[2] Celera avoids the term "Diesel", but that's what it is. It runs on Diesel fuel, or JET-A, which is much the same thing.

The base engine has been flying for several years. This is the turbocharged model. So it's an engine design with some flight experience.

But Mozilla doesn't want to maintain security patches for X different products.

Are they really different products (versions), or are they just branches off a common tree and share so much code in common that it would be close to trivial to apply the fix to them all? My experience with security-related patches is that they're almost all extremely localised --- a missing check, an off-by-one, etc.

It seems like far less effort to do that than a massive rewrite of the UI, in any case...
Such a mixed signal from that blog. At first it explained broken security, and then recommended I run only binaries passed down from God. Luckily I'm a believer in rational security and wouldn't run this program if I actually cared about security.

You're equating the existence of copyright as a principle/law and the existence of DRM as a technological means of enforcement. They are not the same thing at all.

I could, physically, go drive my car at 100mph past a school, and nothing about the vehicle would prevent it. Everyone would rightly think me a dangerous idiot for doing it, and the police would probably arrest me, and I'd likely go to jail after being found guilty of motoring offences, but none of that requires the car itself to physically intervene. The likelihood of being observed, investigated, convicted and sentenced is, for most people, a sufficient deterrent even if they might otherwise be so cavalier.

The strange thing about copyright is that unlike other "minor" crimes, copyright infringement is primarily treated as a civil matter in law. The state typically will not invest significant resources in investigating minor infringements or punishing those who break the law. It is left instead to the rightsholder to protect themselves, yet the legal system typically provides no cost-effective means of doing so, nor does it provide access to the investigative powers that police officers or other government officials would have in connection with many other types of illegal behaviour.

The creative industries have fought back with technological measures like DRM and the related laws because, even though we all agree they are deeply flawed, they are also among the few somewhat effective tools that have been left to the legal rightsholders to protect themselves.
The most enjoyable interfaces in games are often simple, functional and still match the theme. Yet many games go over the top with fancy artwork and god forbid time stealing animations. There is definitely a point in trying to stick to the setting with the UI, but it is a thin line.

Its not conjecture. Here are the numbers from their S-1 which apparently you did not read:

1. "We generated $742.6 million in revenue in 2019"

2. "The total remaining deal value of the contracts that we had been awarded by government agencies in the United States and allied countries around the world, including existing contractual obligations and contractual options available to those government agencies, was $1.2 billion"

3. "We do not include government contracts totaling $2.6 billion, as of June 30, 2020, that we have been awarded where the funding of such contracts — also known as indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (“IDIQ”) contracts — has not yet been determined."

So they have 1.62 years of committed revenue from governments and 5.12 years of revenue including the IDIQ contracts. Even assuming the contracts are spread over five years, which seems to be their long term contract length, it indicates their revenue is overwhelmingly from the government.

-----

As for Palantir Gotham being for government agencies, here is the language from their S-1:

1. "We built Gotham, our first platform, for government operatives in the defense and intelligence sectors...Gotham is now used broadly across government functions."

2. "Gotham enables users to identify patterns hidden deep within datasets, ranging from signals intelligence sources to reports from confidential informants, and helps U.S. and allied military personnel find what they are looking for. We later found that the challenges faced by commercial institutions when it came to working with data were fundamentally similar. Companies routinely struggle to manage let alone make sense of the data involved in large projects. Foundry was built for them."

See how it says Foundry was built for commercial and Gotham for "government agencies"?

FHA decided way back when to not allow FHA mortgages for houses built in flood plains. This was a good move. You could still get a private mortgage.

However, there are a lot of people living in flood plains, and they got the rule changed to allow FHA mortgages if flood insurance was available. Note that beach front property is in a flood plain, and is often owned by politically powerful people.

However, no insurance company in their right mind would insure a house that is going to flood over and over again.

So, the people in flood prone areas got the federal government to subsidize flood insurance.

Now the federal government is on the hook whenever these houses get flooded. In some cases, houses have been rebuilt many times in the exact same place after being flooded.

Many of these houses are owned by wealthy individuals (who else can afford to buy waterfront property on coasts?)

The solution is just to stop subsidizing flood insurance. It serves no benefit other than to subsidize housing to be built in flood prone areas. If they can't afford the insurance, then too bad for them.

IMO one of the biggest impediments to remote work is this -- as soon as you have a remote employee, there is a good chance you need to register locally. That means time, money, and potentially fines for weird steps (tech platforms like gusto are insufficient in practice here.) 10-20 remote employees at 10-20 diff states, and more if they ever move, is such a PITA relative to small team size.

That's more like the BSD/MIT licences. GPL goes beyond that, in particular requiring that if you distribute modifications you have made to someone else's GPL'd code then you must also distribute your own source code. It is a different kind of restriction on taking without giving back, and it too relies on copyright to be effective.

It seems a bit dishonest to compare it to a jet, when the obvious competition is a single engine Turboprop like a TBM or PC-12.

On paper it beats those aircraft, but by a far less impressive margin when you consider engine TBO, which is currently 1250 hrs on the EASA cert. With the inherent unreliablilty of piston engines, a PT-6 might look more appealing.

I'd love to see this aircraft come to market, but I fear it may go the way of many innovative aircraft; the company underestimated the cost and complexity or certification and goes bankrupt.
The engine in the Celera is designed for aircraft use. It is a turbocharged turbodiesel.

In order to get the Chevrolet V-8 to work at altitude, you'd need to put a turbocharger on it which would destroy the fuel economy, especially in this application. Also, automotive engines are not designed to withstand the heavy duty cycle that this aircraft requires.

I like the main idea here, but the points listed are a bit extreme. Specifically this one:

> should never update a user interface without allowing the previous one to be used as the default

Are you ready to pay for the ongoing support of all legacy interfaces, including the ones you're not using and which are possibly not used by anyone in the world (no telemetry)? Are you ready for all the bugs and security issues this will cause?

Same goes for support of old file formats.

Antitrust would help, maybe even a lot, but would the world be that different if Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and WhatsApp were independent companies? Things might be a bit better but we'd still be stuck with the same handful of platforms we already have.

Facebook is just the final form of the monster that silicon valley continually creates. Every unicorn software startup has the same strategy: create a competitive app, get VC backing, blitzscale until you are dominant, then abuse your power to monetize the platform.

The only difference is how far along a market is in the cycle. Desktop operating systems went through this in the 1990s, eCommerce went through this in the 2000s, smartphone operating systems went through this in the late 2000s, social media went through this in the 2010s, ridesharing is going through it now, autonomous vehicles will go through it soon, and AI platforms will go through it when they arrive.

It's the same story everywhere you look and the process begins at the startup stage. Attacking companies that reach the end of the cycle won't stop the cycle from happening.

I would love to see Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, and Google broken up. I would cheer it. But it won't save us. It will only change who owns the leash we're controlled by.

I don't know about anyone else, but I don't care whether I'm being controlled by a millionaire, a billionaire, or a trillionaire. I just care that I'm being controlled. The only way to escape is to own digital infrastructure that you rely on and that possibility only exists with free and open source software.

Thats because you are looking for the wrong thing.

Companies and individuals get fined and sanctioned for non-exempt offerings of securities all the time all day every day.

Non-exempt means that the issuer either didn't bother to care, or tried to comply with a registration exemption but failed. One way of failing is the inclusion of non-accredited investors. Depending on the exemption being leveraged.

No sanction will say “aha we found non accredited investors” it will just say the exemption wasn't used correctly.

Sometimes its just a fine.

Sometime the sanction is proper registration and financial reporting like a publicly traded company has to. This is often a death knell to small issuers due to the time and expense of ongoing compliance as well as unsavory information that deters future investment, which is why so much energy goes into avoiding it, even in VC backed companies which now aim to go public at the end of their growth cycle.

And in egregious cases the company and individuals behind it will have a criminal securities fraud and wire fraud charge.

Its not because a “poor person” lied. You really have nothing to worry about.
