That's exactly the thing -- nvidia refuses to document their products, so third parties can't support it.

Should they extend their practices to ARM, then ARM support will quickly whither.

What's odd - is that nobody ever decided to build a reasonable spreadsheet package, or imaging package, or heck, any of a hundred decent packages that are available on OS X and Windows. My day-day job is on Linux (And has so been for the last three years) - but that's because I live on a CLI, and my needs for spreadsheets/presentations are (A) Both very rudimentary, and (B) more often then not done with google docs anyways.

Anybody who had, as their day job, working with spreadsheets would never do it with Libre Office unless they weren't really using them with a lot of data and complexity, or (B) had a bit of a masochistic streak. (Or, I guess (C), were completely dedicated to open software - which is a fair reason I guess).

The two things that will permanently hold back Linux on the desktop (And, remember, I say this as someone who has only worked on Linux for 3+ years now) - is (A) The amazing number of inconsistencies on the desktop environment (Depending on the application, I have 3 separate ways I need to initiate a "copy" - Ctrl+C, Ctrl+Shift+C, Ctrl+Right-Click+Select copy.) and (B) The lack of most decent desktop software (Chrome, Slack excepted - they are pretty much flawless on Linux).

Bringing this back to the original thread - what I would love from Microsoft, is to make Linux a first-rate citizen on Windows. Right now it's 80% of the way their with WSL. Still missing a bunch of networking stuff, and still doesn't run cron/init and friends. But It's getting closer.

Then, we have the best of both worlds - I can do all my work in Linux, and still have access to the rich desktop environment of Windows. So - count me as one person who is really happy that Microsoft is putting effort into advancing their Linux offerings by submitting these Hyper-V support patches into the Linux Kernel.
But that's no different to 2003 (you could have a guarantor - typically a parent - who would be on the hook for your rent if you didn't pay it)

Before I started looking I was under the impression things were harder now then they were in 2003, but it seems not, at least in this one case (tiny studio/bedsits in a dodgy part of west london) -- unless asking prices on rent are massively depressed due to covid.

In 2006/7 I lived in Tunbridge wells, paying £800pcm for a 2 bed flat that looked almost identical to this one, although it was in the next door house and had a garage instead of a parking spot.

https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/84635425#/

£800 in 2007 is £1,117.29 today, so a near identical flat for £900 is an interesting price point.
Nowhere near the worst.

i think there's varying levels of complexity to the different solutions available jamstack or not

Jamstack, the complexity might be maintaining different services, such as a headless cms and the front end. the output though is static files that you can dump into static hosting pretty easily

on the other hand, you might have a serverful solution thats all in one stack. you run into other complexities with that like having to worry moreso about scaling and managing that server for traffic

there are tradeoffs between the 2. jamstack isn't a perfect solution but it has a lot of benefits. it's also relatively young in it's architectural lifecycle, so i would imagine a lot of these pain points to be worked out as it matures

the book tries to get into both the good and the challenging
>That must have horrible security implications, surely?

Lets just say it's a matter of taste. I keep my attack surfaces to a minimum, backport what I can "patch and statically compiled deps for userspace"-wise. On the otherhand, I browse the web with javascript disabled so my old box probably has less "horrible security implications" than a completely up to date distro with the user blindly executing all code they're sent. Security is behavior more than software.

What makes Europe unique such that the proposition that lowered taxes would lead to greater Millenial success holds true, when the same low-tax policies applied in America seem to have yielded similar results to the European approach?

I've seen photographies of this fresco dozens of times, even studied it (superficially) in some art history class, but for the first time I've realized that ancient Greeks did not have paper, much less books.

I imagine Raphael and his contemporaries didn't know as much about ancient Greece as we do today. OTOH the printing press was still fairly recent so Raphael must have been conscious that books were not commonly available centuries before him.

My point is that this depiction of ancient Greece might have been deliberately fantastic which is something I had never thought before about Renaissance art.
for sure - that's definitely a valid solution. it all depends on the goals you're trying to meet
Yes it's lacking too much context. Google's CEO probably didn't intend to be so dismissive but stalled since there wasn't a clear answer, and the statement ended up being snarky enough to move focus from the question to the "old people are bad at tech" bias, which was then reinforced by the media.

It's unfortunate but it shows just how bad the understanding is on all sides, and why these corporations can get away with so much. The most recent hearings this year revealed how much training these CEOs get and how adept they are at maneuvering around any real investigation.

Because it is generally accepted that monopolies are bad and that not-monopolies are ok. It is much easier to sell the simple idea that "X is a monopoly, so split X", than to make a long case that "X does Y and Z which meet ABC definition of unfair use of market position, bla bla bla, so split X". Conversely, for a company in the wrong, it is easier to say "Of course monopolies are bad, but we are not a monopoly!".
Almost every comment in this thread seems to be some variation of either “So what if a lot of jews died—a lot of other people died in the holocaust too ya know!”, or “So what if a lot of people died in the Holocaust—a lot of people died in communist Russia too ya know!”.

I find this kind of whataboutism on this topic to be extremely gross and creepy.

And the worst offenders will take potshots at you on your way out. NY, CA and other states specifically try and extract extra tax revenue from people who said "screw it, I'm out" but didn't do a good enough job documenting how out they in fact were.
Actually, a bit of a gruesome idea I had was to look at NHTSA crash records and calculate the average probability of death at various speeds in my vehicle (Nissan Xterra). As you speed up and break the speed limit, a little % icon on the dashboard rises to indicate how likely you are to die if something goes wrong. I think the emotional impact of staring your fatality chances in the face as they steadily rise might encourage safer behavior for our monkey brains.
I fly, follow the news, and assume I'll probably fly one one at some point because there's not enough alternative options. It's not what I want, but if they have a fix proven out by a lot of successful flight time and a MAX flight has the arrival time I need.. why not?

Part of the reason Boeing is going to survive is the pure fact that Airbus can't make enough airplanes to cover the market.

>Does Nike put ads showing the technical aspects of their shoes in Times Square?

You're missing the point - I said that Nike stance, claims, ads, brand, is self evident.

Manipulated reviews, high ranking on Google, and influencers promoting products, it's dissimulated. People are not aware those variables are being manipulated.

Even if some people buy Nike for the sake of Nike, if they are presented with a 150$ pair of shoes that has 3,5 reviews on Amazon, or has Kanye West saying "this shoes are shit", makes a huge difference these days.

I remember a video of propeller balancing for one of these aircraft. It's massive, something like a 10-12 foot diameter, variable pitch blades.

> "what do we do so the backup driver does not watch his phone?"

I mean, a first step is to hold the driver criminally negligent if they get into an accident. Which already happens. That's what legal punishment is for -- to deter extremely dangerous/harmful/etc. behaviors.

But because people often think "it'll never happen to me", that's why companies generally have supervision and spot checks of employees, to try to catch bad behavior and reprimand/fire them first, before it results in damage/death.

Which, if I were Uber, would probably mean installing fish-eye cameras in the corner of each vehicle that would regularly be spot-checked to see if backup drivers were, in fact, not doing their job.

This isn't a particularly difficult problem. And I don't think privacy is a particular issue here.
> Climate change could have been a footnote if we didn’t effectively regulate nuclear power out of existence in the name of “safety”.

Even if 100% of global elextricity generation was replaced with nuclear, that wouldn't be true. You'd have to also replace (for instance) 100% of transportation with nuclear. (And that's assuming that the infrastructure construction and maintenance costs of doing all that are carbon neutral, too, and that the reduced demand and price for fossil fuels resulting from that shift doesn't open up new uses that get you back into problems, which—absent aggressive regulation—youd naturally expect it would.) [55% reduction is CO2 is needed, electricity is 27%, transportation 28%.)

Or maybe you are thinking that the absence of nuclear safety regulation would result in enough accidents to reduce the growth of population and industry enough to solve climate change, which I guess is a valid thought, if an extreme example of glass-half-full thinking.

Cautious is fine. Always read the fine print with any company, not just Microsoft. But that's different from being afraid.
And if only one company owned all the billboards in the world, that would be a monopoly too.

Monopolies are traditionally assessed in terms of product categories, not entire industries. Nobody ever said "standard oil isn't a monopoly, because you can also buy coal fuel"

Honest question, I'd love to see some actual answers here instead of the usual canned hyperbole.

So far Apple's users are mostly satisfied with them, happily voting with their wallets, and the only people complaining about Apple are mostly the developers and companies who want unfettered access to iOS' users, and I haven't heard any good reasons from them other than "we want to maximize our own profits."
Tips for Running an Effective Virtual Offsite
The fact that you believe it doesn't make it so. Maximum profit would be earned from fully locked down environments that have as little freedom as possible so that revenue can be extracted from any possible upside. Example control who is allowed to write software for the platform so that there is only one source of mapping software that can be monetized by the month and by the feature.

The fact that we mostly don't use environments like that is because users and creators value freedom.

The person who wants to write their own closed source mapping software monetized by the month and the feature for 9 dollars a month instead of 10 STILL values software freedom a little.

Most people value software freedom somewhat even if only as what they perceive as the status quo and would get frustrated if that changed.
> What's the point of having a local fitness instructor if it's all streaming online?

Human connection.

The first 5 minutes of the class are personally my favorite - the instructor is a hilariously funny person and a great community builder.

I’ve taken a lot of fitness classes with many different instructors. From my experience, people rarely stick with an instructor (or workout program) because of the quality of the actual workout... they stick with it only if they enjoy spending an hour of their day with the instructor on a personal / social level. Most people would choose a mediocre workout with an engaging instructor over an amazing workout with a monotone boring instructor.
There is a new housing development behind my house which like most in the UK now has a mix of social/shared ownership and more expensive traditional properties.

It's fascinating to see the differences. One side has flash cars, the other ordinary hatchbacks. One side is happy to wander around in a dressing gown during the day whilst the other is always smartly dressed. One side let their kids play in the street whilst the other has them in studying. One side is mostly trades people whilst the other works in offices.

Despite all the differences (or perhaps because of) it seems to work. I doubt either side would chose the situation but the fact the system forces them together is genius.

So to answer your point, no, everybody is not middle class.
I think it is uncharitable to assert that a company that is 45 years old has a strategy that is "never-changing". There is no denying that Microsoft has been hostile to Linux and open source efforts before, but it doesn't mean that this would never change. Last I checked, Microsoft was the largest contributor to open source projects, and Satya Nadella seems to embrace FOSS
I think any expensive, unnecessarily-rugged-for-what-you-actually-do outdoor clothing counts, but yes, that name comes up a lot. I think it should be regarded as a mid-prestige brand to wear, for tech fashion, above, say, REI store brand, which is at the bottom edge of (and perhaps hanging somewhat over) acceptably hip. The top-end you probably can't find stocked in normal outdoors stores in the US (they're invariably European).

Ideally your rain jacket is appropriate for weeks-long alpine or warmer-weather arctic expeditions, and costs at least $250. It should pack down unbelievably small so you can excuse/brag-about the expense as an expression of "minimalism". You wear it on your $1000 bike for your 2km commute to the coffee shop to work on your MacBook. Shoes should be ready for many kilometers of hard, high-performance trail running, and should have been priced to match. Or else rock climbing or bouldering. No activity is more hip-tech-culture-approved and laudable than rock climbing, at least for now (the trends come and go).

There's that stuff, then there's the hipster-mimicking tech-fashion sect in $200 Japanese selvedge jeans and $300ish Red Wing Heritage workboots. There's plenty of overlap and mixing of the styles, though.

Don't forget the right hoodie. If the aglets aren't metal and the zipper's not a heavy, smooth-but-crunchy-feeling YKK, you've screwed up.

If in doubt, just shop REI and Patagonia. Little they stock will be too far off the mark.

I totally agree with the idea of your post. Just wanted to share a sort of funny tidbit about the specific example you chose: I work in fare marketing for airlines, and google flights is actually a bit of a boon for us because it drops you directly into the airline booking engine with pre-filled info.

Before Google Flights we were mostly competing against Expedia/Kayak/etc. Now Google Flights indirectly gives the airlines the top rank again, and we're competing against the OTA's for the secondary spots with ads and SEO. I can also anecdotally attest that Instagram ads work very well for airlines. (Well... worked very well, pre march 2020 and all).

I do agree with your main sentiment though, and the case could totally be made that google flights is doubly screwing over the OTA's now. Just wanted to share some interesting anecdata.
“Something bad” in this context is stuff like the judge reading pre-written decisions rather than elaborating them on the spot. Without independent observers, there is no “ammunition” to be had, because it’s simply one’s word vs the authorities’.

As someone else mentioned, this is the sort of thing that, when it happens in “bad” countries, we often call with certain choice words.
If there are "the engineers of MCAS", with a narrow mandate to build the MCAS, there must also be other engineers who don't delve into MCAS details but understand the overall system and therefore understand that the MCAS is dangerous. If not, how was that thing allowed to fly?
Differentially Private Pac Learning
The geometric patterns are interesting to me because we can generate them as the effect of feedback loops, recursion, and iteration in pretty much every physical and logical domain. When you introduce a delay or discontinuity into a continuous process, it causes echoes and periodic patterns we would interpret as "geometric" as well. Think effects pedals on musical sounds, or modelling queues.

The underlying presumption seems to be that there are barriers to understanding a truth that can be "unlocked," which seems like a leap fraught with baggage. Even though using a poison that impairs the ability of our brain to reconcile its sensory inputs with its memory of itself is an out of "self" experience, this idea of viewing it through the lens of an enhancement or impairment yields different interpretations. A functioning society and civilization requires that people can be acted upon by - and respond to - the artifacts of language, so something that impairs that is going to raise hackles among people who think about those sort of things. But to grow it and survive we also need things that originate outside of it, so the insights people get from these trips can also be very valuable.

DMT elves I can't explain, but geometric patterns, just generate interrupts on a signal that has feedback. If they do exist, I'd have to assume they're some instantiation of tech support, as something is going to detect the signal jitter and check it.
The implication being that Boeing wanted to ship this plane on time, even if that meant cutting corners on safety, except that it isn't an implication because it is literally what happened.
