That’s a primary component of cryptocurrency that my apps use: standardization of cryptography signing tools. You don't need cryptocurrencies for that, but its a big market with standardized utility and protocols even if you are never sending anything to the blockchain. And then all the user’s clients are also wallets so you can stay in that ecosystem for more.

GPG/PGP had 20 and 25 years, respectively, to proliferate but without a financial incentive it just petered along. The version for the OSX mail client is pretty bad in 2020 and just as niche as ever.

A lot of people undervalue this aspect of crypto-assets: Standardized signing protocols and tools, standardized large namespace with no collisions for account creation and state, the lower amount of programming needed because you aren't making your own account creation and state framework and database since you can just differentiate users by address or signature.

For anyone passing by:
“But the low transactions per second are my final goto argument and I get to express my hate because of it”, again these aforementioned use cases don't send a transaction to the p2p network and are therefore not constrained by the bandwidth of the p2p network / blockchain. There is no way to tell how many projects use cryptocurrency infrastructure this way and how many users or how much activity they have.

Yes, Tesla may not have the best manufacturing quality, but compared against American cars from the 80's...

They've only been mass manufacturing for about 4 years now; previous models are low volume models with a lot of hand assembly.

Musk says that manufacturing is a couple of orders of magnitude harder than designing and building prototypes. He's learning these lessons the hard way. If you can survive the lesson, it's the best way to learn them. Little consolation to those who buy the lemons during the learning period, though.

This is also a tale about America. Tesla's Chinese factory gets first place on a similar survey to the JD Powers initial quality survey that Tesla America got last place in. America just doesn't have the deep well of manufacturing knowledge that a new company like Tesla can draw on.
Caniuse is open source, anyone can PR in new functionality that’s only in Firefox (and I have).
Cost of manufacturing something like this can only go down and there are plenty of applications where mass or power output/battery life of a device is much more important than cost.
But Ford and other car makers are not keeping their TQM / Kaizen / etc methodology secret.

Tesla aren't starting from nothing, they're able to use all the existing knowledge about putting together a factory to build product.
I strongly disagree with running the government like a household budget. It seems like a nice simple reduction but they're very different things.

Corporations don't run as household budgets, neither should governments.

Two main differences, growth and taxation. Growth means that economically you can outspend your "budget" every year and still come out ahead because that spend this year makes next year's budget larger. Taxation means your can spend money on any one initiative and if it increases economic activity in any way you can make it back via unrelated taxes without increasing any tax rates or fees.

Households have neither of these options.
You have a point there. But haven't they already sent you the confirmation email?

If you're wondering what the "new taste" is, it's... not in the article (at least not that I read):

> Not everyone agrees with the current breakdown of taste into five key flavors, and some scientists have proposed that additional tastes could exist, and some of these potential new tastes have been identified.

> “There are quite a number of additional candidates out there,” says Purdue University nutritional scientist Richard Mattes, who coined the word oleogustus (fatty taste) to describe one of these proposed new sensory flavors. Calcium, carbon dioxide, starch, and short-chain carbohydrates also have all been variously proposed as possible new tastes. “But they are by no means accepted broadly in the scientific community,” Mattes says.
Most of the glasses I've seen online are scams. Just plastic lens with UV blocking. The ones that come with a "special blue light Lazer" to demonstrate that's it's working are definitely a scam. In order to block blue light you'll need lenses with a tint. Most likely they will be tinted orange.

If you want a simple test to see how effective they are at blocking blue light, set an LED screen to blue, and see how much color comes through the lens. Most of the glasses I've seen advertised (and my wife has bought - meh lesson learned at least they were cheap) either have no tint, or it's so subtle it mind as well not be there.

The slowest cheapest windshield glue you can get takes like 6hr to cure in normal temps and a couple days at near freezing temps (don't ask how I know this).

These aren't T34s that are driving off the line and to the front. It would certainly have been cured by the time the car made it to the customer. I'm betting their QA process didn't accurately catch and remediate all the cars moved down the line after the glue machine ran dry.

I love the idea, I once had the same idea and never knew how to really turn it into a project. Congrats!

First thing I would request as a feature is a way to be notified when new durable products are added.

Another feedback: the name did not catch my memory yet. After going to the site I could not even remember the name of it when I wanted to go back once the tab was closed. Maybe show the website title in big letters or go fo a different name? (durable-products.com is available and maybe good SEO wise for example). AND we also know that "buy for life" will only match a very few products (like pans, but not socks most probably), durable might be more accurate.

Final feedback: I understand it's not a commercial project, but why not? I think you can totally create affiliate links while still maintaining a high level of trust and independence. Plus the fact that many times I searched on your site where to buy the products. I had to open a new tab and google them :)

Good luck!
It's probably going to be like with AI. People talk about it for years and nothing substantial happens and then suddenly it takes off. I was working on AI around 2005 (we called it neural networks). There were no good libraries, the literature was difficult to understand and nothing really worked (at least I didn't get it to work). I was still a student and pretty disillusioned by the whole idea. A few years later the field took off and now it is ubiquitous.
I wish everyone in my company would read this. I'd upvote this post 1000x.

I laughed way too hard at this, because I have thoughts like this bounce around my head nearly every time I read about a Google product. It reminds me of Microsoft circa ~2006, when they were doing all kinds of wacky and ill-defined projects that turned into pure bloatware.
Technically neither are used to fasten things but to apply the fasteners which fasten things.
Good, I'll also blind him.
Interested to see the code, I still don't totally understand how this works. Is there a generic vapor server that re-routes http requests to the hosts specified in the op-return? If so, what does that give you? If not, then the caller needs to submit this bitcoin transaction as a ... payload to some app-controled proxy that might inject some associated account information by querying a db then route the call to the right endpoint with that info in trusted headers or something?

I think I understand the concept as something like "login with your bitcoin identity" but I'm struggling to understand practically how what you're envisioning is meant to work.

I actually think this could be made far more generic as "login with public key identity" for any crypto scheme, Ethereum or just about anything that is not mimblewimble and/or hyper privacy focused should work similarly.
This seems very much like saying that if you shoot the hostage in a hostage situation, you no longer have a hostage situation.

Like...the whole point of having messages work that way is that you're not having to bake event processing and duplicate transaction handling and compensating transactions and all the other message handling logic into literally every process which comes after your message queue.

It's a non-solution - you're just leaking the problem out to another part of the stack.
The features are certainly there in Racket, clunky or otherwise! Plus this seems to be in the spirit of the language.

Just something I noticed, images from the blog took a bit to load, and they could be optimized (will also save you bandwidth). I recommend doing this for all images though. Search for tinyjpg or similar free sites, it will compress the images without losing much on quality.

Keep it up! :)

Edit: there are some great libraries to compress images too. e.g. https://github.com/semiromid/compress-images

The performance requirement for third-party SSDs has been stated in terms of read throughput, where the built-in PS5 SSD provides about 5.5GB/s and third party SSDs may need to be a bit faster to provide the same QoS. This is referring to sequential read speeds, generally measured with 128kB or larger IO sizes. When SSD performance is stated in terms of IOPS, that's usually referring to small block sizes (4kB) and random IO rather than sequential.

(Strictly speaking, the access pattern that matters most for games will probably be something like 128kB random reads, so the attained throughput when a game is streaming in chunks of partially-resident textures on the fly is likely to be somewhat lower than purely sequential reads.)
At least AWS SAM supports local debugging and testing.

That's just nonsense. The other highly inelastic market is oil, there are massive price excursions when supply and demand are not matched. Have you seen what happened when oil demand dropped this spring? Prices completely fell off a cliff! Demand will not increase just because new capacity enters the market, instead prices will drop to make everyone unprofitable, including the new entrant, who will never be able to recover the initial investment.
The relevant figure is that the radius grows faster than mass^(1/3). What it does, because it grows with mass^(1/2).

If it grew more than linearly with mass, we wold see the same reducing density, just faster.

In this system, will all user data be public?

While I understand that applications that receive user data could now "verify" the user data they have has not been changed, how would you do that for something other than raw transactions? Arguable just storing raw transactions will not be that useful - I'd expect these applications to do things with the user data - and that whole processing itself be verifiable (this could be possible if the logic to manipulate data is known). However, how can you do that while preserving user data privacy?
This seems reasonable explanation on first glance, but on further thinking it seems to miss something. Assume 'down arm' as leg, and 'up arm' as head, relative to the person who has the arm just like left and right arm. Even then the mirror doesn't flip up and down arm, but only flips left and right.

It's not "US", it's particular regions. San Francisco Bay Area pays a lot, while Cleaveland(OH) pays a third of that.

Globally it's the hotspots that pay a lot - London, Dublin, Moscow, Amsterdam, etc.

But then the reason why the salaries have skyrocketed - is just lack of supply.

The Xbox Series X heatsink in their teardown looks to be less than half the size. I'm guessing the larger heatsink is to make sure the console survives long enough to make up for the massive losses this generation. It's possible that they need a larger heatsink due to overclocks. Maybe they plan to reuse the same system with an upgraded "pro" chip and wanted to save design and tooling costs. Maybe it's just the normal conservative design choice common in Japanese companies.

Some interesting room to conjecture.

EDIT: 315w for xbox vs 350w for PS4 isn't that big of a difference.
In any case, massive graphics cards like the GTX480 or those old AMD dual 4xxx/5xxx cooled more than 350w with a much smaller heatsink (though in a larger case with better airflow -- though not all of that power goes just to the CPU/GPU in the consoles).
it's a really interesting post, and I really like your approach to studying. Thank you for detailing it so clearly.

I've never used Drafts and I'm curious about how do you keep your files organised after a session. You write a sort of recap of what you've learned, that's clear. But how are the other 3 files grouped together? Only by date or timestamp? Do you ever go back to or search through your old files?

Also, another curiosity:instinctively I would keep my study material on the iPad and take notes on the laptop. What's the advantage in doing it the other way around?

And thanks again!

Are we using different vocabulary? I suspect you are using oligarchy for what I would call plutocracy? From en.wiki:

> "Oligarchy (from Greek ὀλιγαρχία (oligarkhía); from ὀλίγος (olígos) 'few', and ἄρχω (arkho) 'to rule or to command'"

which agrees with my head-canon terms of "how large is the selectorate?"

- monarchy : "L'état, c'est moi."

- oligarchy : to do something, convince the inner circle

- democracy : to do something, convince an entire electorate

I agree with this. The welcome or confirmation email is a transactional email -- I don't really read it (I usually mark as read too -- takes 1 sec), but I expect it to be there.
