I was responding to the problem as framed in the comment, which like ads & spyware gets explained with the (imo totally false) assertion that it's because people want free.

I also commented regarding hard journalism, pointing out that the business dichotomy of "quality" content vs entertainment oriented content has always favoured the latter.

Incidentally, I don't even think the Economist quite fits the description. They do mostly "editorial" style content. Commentary, punditry, summaries of recent events. It may be "quality" in literary terms, but it isn't exactly hard journalism in the investigative sense. It isn't really the kind of content that's in jeopardy.

I think it's important to beat back the cliché that "free is the problem." It's often repeated, rarely challenged, taken for granted and factually incorrect.

The financial problems of hard, investigative journalism problem exist regardless of content consumption trends. A quality investigative piece requires seasoned journalists to work for weeks, months or years. The economic value is "just an article." The article doesn't really make more money than a commentary piece that takes an afternoon to write. This is true regardless of business models.

Why do you "collect cane prunings from local vineyards and use them" rather than grow from seeds directly? If you grew from seeds, I imagine it takes longer, but how much longer (vs prunings)?

I've been trying to grow directly from seeds from produce we eat at home, with mixed (but not zero) results. Wondering if i'm just making a novice mistake.

Sincere question: why is purchasing power not the defining characteristic of wage growth at least post-gold standard? If I can buy more stuff with the same salary, hasn't my salary effectively gone up?

Or is your point that only some stuff is cheaper, but the total standard of living supportable by average wages has nevertheless dropped?

And then you get "I earned my income by studying hard and working hard"... while being oblivious how much pure luck was to do with it.

It infuriates me, when such people then advocate for inaccessible tools for the poorest. Because I was that - 20 years ago(at 16) I was homeless and had about $10 per week in finances.... for me and my mentally distressed mother to survive.

Prometheus vs. FCC is going to the Supreme Court
I agree. Most people don't realize what's going on, and of those that do, most of them are profiting by it. The few that see what's happening clearly and don't like it are a tiny minority with (relatively) no money.

To answer your question, I think people have much less agency than we think we do. Our brains run the show, not our minds. It would take so much energy to do something about e.g. surveillance capitalism that the brain settles on a useful illusion (agency) and ignores the data that would require energy expenditure for dubious returns (most people in the panopticon are doing relatively well, eh?)

It's not a very good answer, I know, but I have been convinced that there's no deeper reason. It's caloric cheaper to be a good "coppertop" than to wake up and become "Neo". (Yes, a Matrix reference. I am not ashamed.)
I’ve seen something similar to this, but about “Names”. One was the assumption that most people have a First, Middle, and Last Name. Some cultures have more or fewer names for an individual.

Well, getting the wrong version (years old, not what the developer designated as stable & supported as of yesterday) of absolutely everything I care about is actually kind of really annoying with most contemporary linux distributions.

I see a lot of people whining and stamping their feet here but not a lot people building alternatives. Quit whining & start coding if it matters that much to you. As far as I can see there's Flatpack, Snap, and not much else here because nobody can be bothered apparently.

Exploding offers... yeah. They come as "limited time offers" all the time. "Deal of a lifetime", even. It's amazing - once in a lifetime offers come every six months.

Just because someone says it's a once in a lifetime offer, it's still the exact same offer. The words "once in a lifetime" do not change the offer whatsoever. If the answer is no, it shouldn't become yes just because someone says "once in a lifetime".

Nobody writes to the standard, because no browser is strict about only accepting standards-compliant code.

Personal experience—there are a raft of minor differences between Chrome and Firefox, just to pick two. For example, they parse SVG paths differently. The exact behavior of <audio> tags when starting and stopping them used to be different (don’t know if it’s fixed). There are a bunch of other minor things. I have many times discovered that my app doesn’t work in Firefox if I’ve been developing in Chrome, or vice versa.

If you write a lot of weird code, you can easily end up with broken features or a blank app and stack trace after switching browsers. Of course, 95% of the time it will work fine.

Thats unlikely to be true. Computer screens if comparable sizes (the ones that exist) have dipped in price in the same way, despite having no ads or apps or anything.

The prices are down because of process improvements and competition. Ads can make a $10-30 difference in final price.

I tried using $0 years ago, but I didn't like seeing the full path name (or the "./parseflags.sh" string), or maybe it was because I often use shell alias, so the $0 becomes the alias name, or something like that. So now, I just replace the string "parseflags.sh" with the name of the script for each script. I think I tried using $(basename $0) at one point, but didn't like that either, though I don't remember why.

I hope that the template is simple enough that people can customize it as they wish.

Argbash is great. I found the output unnecessarily verbose for the simple functionality that I wanted, so the way I've used it has been to put the following in a script/function and then eval the output: https://gist.github.com/buu700/72d0461d318bfe8c11e36d2316882...

That would then be used like:

Great question. Grape vines have an extremely heterozygous genome, which means that their offspring (seeds) will not resemble the parent plant. This is why grapes plants are always propagated via cuttings. I wrote a post about grape clones on the site if you are interested. https://www.hefvin.com/posts/varietal%20clones/

I don't think it applies in this case.

Despite its marketing, Apple very much is a mass market company and you can't really both be mass market and luxury. Also, there are already plenty of second hand iPhones on the market. So much that I seriously doubt it is supply constrained.

If I had to guess, it's probably more about avoiding competition in the SE segment than protecting the brand.

If information is related to energy (as it appears to be), then saying that FTL would require more processing power than can be embodied in the universe is equivalent to saying (as some current theories do) that it would require more energy than can be harnessed in the universe.
So what if Palantir is selling facial recognition software?

That's technically the same: post-processing (video) data that the government has already collected.

Or what if they are doing predictive crime? Or tracking suspected criminals across marketing data sets?

Surveillance is dangerous at its core because it gives the govt power to target one or more people. If Palantir is doing that (and it is), then it has the same potential for harm as any other surveillance product.

This comment displays yet again the conflation between "exploratory model" and "explanatory model".

This model does not purport (in its current iteration) to explain material reality. It purports to generate a theory of physics without going so far as to claim that that theory coincides with the dynamics of our universe specifically.

It is taking the idea of "physical model" and abstracting it to see how flexible of a theoretical substrate can be used to demonstrate certain behaviors within the defined set of axioms which we would expect out of any model of physics, i.e., causality, limits of information propagation rates, etc.

In short: it is not a theory of the physics, but just a physics.

You need some complex and strange interactions for the customer interfacing market (there's no data gathering market, data gathering is a technique not product) to get larger than the real one in revenue, but it's trivial for it to happen on profit.

I'm not sure it's even possible to discover if profits are concentrated there, the market can look exactly the same either way.

I can see how this would be useful. You could use the snapshot/seek features to replay messages from a particular point. It'd be useful retain messages for a long time so you could replay messages from any point. I could even imagine a feature for replaying back messages from only a time range. We're also aware of requests for more seamless integration with other GCP services; they may augment or provide a similar set of features. I can't comment on timelines unfortunately. :)

Disclaimer: I work on Cloud Pub/Sub, but this is my own opinion.
There was a discussion about dimensionality, but I couldn't decipher -- is there something intrinsic that pushes this model to look like three dimensions? It looked like any dimensionality is equally at home in this model, and generally a random infinite hypergraph would require infinite dimensions to represent as a manifold (or at least I'd think so after a quick think about it). So that we ended up in a universe with three seems quite arbitrary. If Wolfram can find a simple non-arbitrary explanation of why three dimensions, that would be a big step.
I dunno. Wolfram has earned a bit of self-assurance in my view.

As for the theory itself, I'm in the "wait and see" camp. If it's true or at least on the right path, then it should be generating testable hypothesizes soon enough.

Put another way, say his theory was the same in every way, but instead of purporting to prove the fundamentals of our own existence it instead made the claim that there was a two dimensional world with its own constants and physics and that this other universe existed as much as ours does, but that we could never reach it due to what the foundations of the theory laid out. Then I'd be completely uninterested. At least until we were able to simulate this universe with perfect fidelity in a computer.

But since it's our very existence then it's only a matter of time until the theory generates a prediction that we can use as the hypothesis for real experimentation and then the theory can rise or die. But until then I'm going to try to keep an open mind.
