There is a mapping from ordering key to internal storage structures, yes. The goal is that users are abstracted away from any notion of partition and the system handles scaling and ordering on its own, e.g., when there are hot shards.
It's not worth noting - because we also know that almost all theories of this ilk tend to be dismissed because they break the laws of physics.
Formulas are foundational and arguably the reason spreadsheet software exists in the first place (automating calculations), everything else in a spreadsheet application is arguably entirely an attempt to make formulas easier to work with.

As an example, Pivot Tables are an attempt at an "easier" UX for a very common sort of (set of) formulas: What is the "summary" here? What does this table look like "sideways", and is that a useful summary? (I've seen spreadsheets with manually built pivot tables in hideous formulas. Pivot tables really are easier than that mess.)

Formulas are what a spreadsheet user comes to a spreadsheet for. So most of the complexity of the spreadsheet "has to be there" for people to consider it a working spreadsheet.

That's a big source of friction for me as a developer because I know when someone asks "Can you make it more like Excel?" they don't mean "can you make an uglier data grid here" they more often really mean "how interested are you in rebuilding Excel's formulas engine, it's charts engine, and maybe it's pivot tables system, and a few other things I regularly use?" but they don't know that they mean it (because they don't understand themselves the tools they use, they just use them). Raw rectangular data grids aren't actually a very useful user experience, and a lot of users ask for them because they are familiar, but also a lot of them ask for them because they've got a head full of unchallenged assumptions that "computers are math machines, I should be able to just insert a formula here" without realizing it. More often than not when a user is asking me "Can you make it look more like Excel?" it's that there is some formula they want to run and asking the follow up questions what formula they think that is is often more interesting/useful than "make it look more like Excel" ever is. At least in my experience.
Right. And that isn't a problem for some threat models.
Yeah I don’t think so. You’re just scapegoating something you don’t understand, and people will agree with you because it’s a popular scapegoat.
they just insult those who vocally oppose their ideas.

It's fair to call me out for insulting the author. The remainder of the comment is misguided because, as I replied elsewhere in this thread, I see open borders as a long-term goal.
I say to you: “mind throwing this battery in the recycling on your way out, I care about its harmful materials not seeping into the environment” and you say “yes” but then decide “this battery could still power my nephew’s toy car for a bit”.

But then your nephew throws it in the regular trash eventually.

You’ve broken your promise to me. If you’re also the world’s most valuable public company you’ve made that promise to your shareholders and used it to increase your brand perception. It seems reasonable that you’d like to make sure you keep it, no?

When early socialist/communists were researching cybernetics they latched on to the idea of predictive production management, to "guide" the collective workforce. I believe they should have used their new computation capabilities to capture the bits of workforce innovation and value addition to create positive feedback loops, to reward innovative and value added behavior.

For anyone who does end up reading this, I highly reccomend reading r/badeconomics for most economic questions you come up with.

I find that understanding an economic issue ends up requiring me to read one papers just to penetrate one paragraph of someone's explanation of a phenomenon.

Badecon instead is a place where you see bad ideas taken and dissected to show what was wrong, and in the process many sacred cows and talking points get dissected. Makes the process a whole lot easier to understand from a topical issue perspective (rather than doing a part time econ degree)
Really insightful comment and I could not agree anymore. Reading your story really puts it into perspective what we've grown to accept as normal.

It's unfortunate that the solution seems to be to just leave—(I don't think stopping and trying to make a friend is realistic the vast majority of the time, or even safe sometimes)—and I'm realizing I'm at that same conclusion.
Hard to say without using application itself and how important that form is, but I would say second option feels more natural. Anyway in both cases you need to do an action to access form (toggle or close overlay). Just choose whichever and test another option on real users.

On the other side of the coin: maybe he didn't see you wave because he's on a video call and looking at the caller's face. Maybe he didn't want to step onto your property or disturb your day because that is often seen as aggressive behavior. Maybe he didn't actually stop for the reason you think he did and just happened to notice the chickens and pointed to take a photo.

Calling the cops is a ridiculous reaction to just about anything these days other than someone has been shot.

> Hopefully it won't take another 35 years for them to fix CSV opening so it doesn't auto-format long numbers into scientific notion or dates, then cause unrecoverable data loss when you save.

This has been a major issue when working with Australian address data, where the street number was quite often a range e.g. "1-12". Excel would auto-convert to "12-Jan" upon opening the file, and save it as that if you clicked save, and there was no workaround I could find. I eventually told the tester to use Libre Office Calc instead.

Yeah, repair companies often buy these broken devices so they can salvage parts. Its really sad that they're forced to do this as Apple forces third-party parts manufacturers to only sell parts to them. Its ironic, since Apple doesn't do board/circuit repair anyway, they just replace the entire mainboard, generating even more e-waste.

Because people who are willing to pay to get rid of ads are even more valuable to advertisers. If the average lifetime revenue per user is $300, the average revenue per user who wants to pay to get rid of ads might be $500. If that's the case the manufacturer would need to charge you $500 just to be even.
This idiot thinks that material reality is locally real. Please don't post this sort of pseudoscientific quackery.
Samsung M series phones from India are essentially subsidized for Ads, they have all major International data hoarder apps, Indian equivalents and their Samsung equivalents.

Apps from Samsung's app store masquerades like security updates and constantly prompts to install.

I made the mistake of buying them for my parents, even though they use their phone just for WhatsApp like most Indian parents, each of their phones generates ~2000 DNS requests/week which I'm dutifully sinking into PiHole.

I don't think the scraping companies could mount a successful fair use defense so they'd definitely be found to be infringing and could be ordered by a court to stop. What damages they might pay would depend on what they did with the data.

not sure if you misspoke or I don't get your point

"Fair" is just a trigger that one side uses to put the other on the defensive. Companies by their very nature a designed to share profits with their owners, i.e. legal shareholders. If you want profit sharing guaranteed join an employee-owned cooperative or alternative structured org.

I think what confuses me is I still don’t understand your argument.

Is Excel a threat to liberty because it is also used massively to perform surveillance?

Palantir is a software company with professional services.

I’m not sure if you think they are a threat because you don’t understand what they do. Or because you think all software companies that do this work are a threat? Or because you think Palantir is so much better than Microsoft and IBM and all their competitors? Or something else.
Cloud Pub/Sub offers global topics/subscriptions that scale automatically and are completely managed for you (no dealing with your own cluster). With the ordering keys feature, there's no need to specify the number or ID of the ordering keys ahead of time (as one may need to do for traditional message queue partitions). In general, there's no provisioning ahead of time, so topics/subscriptions will scale as your usage grows. These are a few of the properties Cloud Pub/Sub offers compared to traditional self-hosted message queues.

Disclaimer: I work on the Cloud Pub/Sub team, but this explanation is my own.

just fyi, `shift` doesn't affect $0, it slides the window of $1..$N back, so you don't want to shift after grabbing $0 and you don't want to change the option loop if you do this.

And you can just use $0 everywhere so there's technically no reason to pull it out into a $executable variable, but tbh that gets a bit confusing in functions.

They can still be mitigated. At the very least you can blank the video/audio while the ads are on. Personally I'd just get the pirated version, which has the ads cut out for me. If you already paid for the service I don't see anything morally wrong with that.
Very interesting. I love your point about how the structured weaving aspect of fabrics is the very thing which makes them brittle and lacking resilience. Certainly an applicable metaphor!

Have you ever watched Kill La Kill[1]? It's a satirical anime that makes light of many tropes in shonen, but one of the main drivers of the plot line is tension between all-encompassing textile industry monarchs who seek to rule the world by "caging" humans with fabric and extracting their energy, and the intentionally redundantly phrased "naked nudist" anarchists who oppose them.

> But Apple seems very much in the wrong here on an ethical level. If the devices have resale value, then they should be resold, not destroyed! Reduce and Reuse are both higher priorities than Recycle.

I can't imagine Apple just not selling stuff that's perfectly capable of being sold as a refurbished item. My assumption is that if it's in the hands of a recycler then it's probably not meeting some kind of quality assurance standard for battery life, reliability, etc.
Nice build but over engineered. You could achieve the same result by taping a piece of aluminum foil, or maybe even a wire to the capacitive sensor and connecting it to ground through a relay. Use the ESP8266 to toggle the relay when you want to simulate a button press.
Like every product price, the wages are very much proportional to the demand/supply balance. And the increased centralization and standardization is directly and considerably reducing the demand. If you have 10 companies with roughly equivalent market share, you need 10 CEOs, 10 independent chains of command, 10 accountants, 10 lawyers, 10 IT guys and so on. Each of those people possesses some domain knowledge, is harder to replace, and can negotiate a relatively high salary.

Now if you let them merge into 1 megacorp, you get 1 CEO with 2-3 VPs, a couple of accountants/lawyers/IT guys/middle managers, and the rest become corporate drones following predefined instructions. They are much easier to replace, so they get lower wages.

Globally, you have increased the efficiency in terms of lowering absolute prices, but decreased everybody's living standard, because the median wage drop was even more dramatic.

If you want to gauge the scale of the problem, just think how much of your own monthly spending goes to owner-operated businesses vs. 1000+-employee corporations vs. rent-like transactions (e.g. mortgage interest).

There are also a bunch of very specific policies making this worse:

* Low interest rate make capital cheap, enabling leveraged acquisitions.

* Bailouts for inefficient corporations prevent smaller businesses from taking their place.

* Non-existing enforcement of anti-trust laws is another huge thing. Good luck selling physical items online without going on Amazon. Good like surviving after Amazon deems your niche worthy of their time and knocks off your product with "Amazon Basics". Ditto for mobile apps, ditto for any niche captured by a Google product, that is often terrible, but free to the end user due to ads.

A separate thing is the government-backed college loans, that drive the tuition prices to the point where it doesn't pay off, but is still required by most employers.

These are big long-term problems that will shape the economic future for most of the currently economically active population, but to my surprise there is very little public discussion about them.

That's been my life more or less for the past 15 years. Now I'm a couple months from FIRE. So, my advice is to try to have rich life outside of work - friends, love if you can find it, interests, sport, contact with nature, deep books etc. This can all help make life meaningful in spite of having to sell most of your time in order to survive. At the same time, try to maximize income and watch your spending so that you're not a slave to jobs until you're old.
I can't remember the details; I think it was some kind of hexadecimal-binary converter.
When I was at Google around 2012, the company had a custom 2FA dongle that detected motion rather than touch. An engineer who had remotely ssh'd into their workstation needed to 2FA and realized that they could send an SMS to their phone, cause the phone to vibrate, and trigger a false 2FA event on the dongle. (Or maybe they got their computer to play a loud noise. I forgot the specific details.)

Similar to this fake finger, it was a cool hack at the time but defeated the purpose of 2FA.
Between billboards, internet ads, radio commercials, spam, and telemarketing calls, I don't get a thousand offers a day, but I might get a hundred. Of course, it's easier to say no to most of those, since they're not actually things I want. They're just garbage offers.

But even of the ones I want... There are many places offering to sell me lunch today, and there are several places where I'd be interested in eating lunch. I can only eat one lunch today, though.

So I think we have the same thing, just with much smaller offers.
A little off topic: Does anyone know of a way to get the results of a yubikey press into a remote desktop session? I frequently remote desktop into laptops that are in arms reach. If I need to use the yubikey, I have to remove it and plug it into my desktop and press it, since it acts as a local keyboard.
Are you sure? Because https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2020/04/finally-we-may-h... definitely implies that he believes his "hypergraph with update rules" model is how the universe actually works and what remains is to find the particular structure and update rules that describe our own universe.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's a very interesting model that is quite flexible and could be used for a great many things. But if we're moving the goalposts from "can we go faster than the speed of light in our own universe" to "can we go faster than the speed of light in a universe I constructed from arbitrary rules" then the result becomes much less interesting.
