> Typical copper ethernet is 1Gb/s, while USB 3 is 5 Gb/s, going on 10/20/40 Gb/s with USB 3.2, USB 4 .. thunderbolt.

All the bit rates you listed Ethernet also covers. And as for copper - at the speeds you listed thunderbolt and USB3/C are limited to severely short cables, a measly 0.5 meters for 40Gb. Though 20Gb can do 1 or 2m, 2m being the longest thunderbolt cable you can use.

As for power, that devil is in the interface details. I see no reason why multi-gigabit Ethernet can't be pushed over a similarly designed low power differential copper serial transceiver.

As far as I'm concerned, Ethernet is more mature than USB could ever dream of being.
Wow, Alan Key is being really difficult in that discussion.
No, it hasn’t been solved and it won’t be because it can’t be solved without adding more round trips to the handshake. It’ll be down to firewalls to stop this from happening.

If the host had just picked at random from the two doors, and it happened to show a goat, the odds would be the same.
> [what's the] benefit of investing that time.

Please continue studying the language, it is frustrating hearing non-native speakers say this. Your bad grammar or foreign mind will always hinder how you can interact with the community you are in. English is pretty strange in this way, I feel the cultural part is so estranged from the language, the width of the english speaking community is just too vast. You can get by with much less english than in other languages IMHO.

Malay is my challange, going pretty well.
> Because right to work is a union-busting tactic

No it isn't, right to work exists in the entire EU since EU enforces it. Union participation is still way higher here than in USA. Obviously right to work isn't hurting union participation that much, or unions would be dead over here.

Banning right to work is just there to protect corrupt unions from members being able to leave a corrupt union on their own.

> But if it's members don't want to be part of the union, then why is there a union. Part of that statement doesn't jive with the other.

Because other members wanted to be a part of the union. If 70% wanted the union but 30% were forced to join then those 30% still didn't want the union afterwards, it is that simple.

E2E group chats are closely related, but ephemeral. IPFS seems also closely related, but it's dealing more with the content of a file, and not really designed for handling the identity of who wrote or distributed the content.
The performance overhead will not be zero. You're spending more computational power and memory opening up and maintaining a larger number of connections, and you're sending more packets and bits over the network in total because each additional connection has non-zero overhead.
I don't think passing through "infinite time" is a fringe concept in modern physics. It is well accepted that passing the event horizon of a black hole involves traveling through infinite coordinate time from the perspective of an outside observer; however if you change your coordinates to that of the object falling into the black hole, you will see that it takes finite time to pass the horizon.
> when was the last time Ford or Toyota recalled a vehicle because a major part of the body could blow off?

Mercedes recalled tens of thousands of cars this year for sunroofs that could blow off: https://www.consumerreports.org/car-recalls-defects/mercedes...

I think the fact that you didn't hear about this recall, to the point of not even believing such a thing could happen, while you did hear about this one case of one Tesla roof blowing off, illustrates the point nicely.

Edit: Someone else pointed out that Corvettes were also recalled for roofs flying off: https://www.corvetteblogger.com/2009/12/28/gm-issues-recall-...
I mostly rely on an internal feeling
If you are like most people, intuition is really mental shortcuts you have developed over time. There is nothing wrong with mental shortcuts as long as you reflect why you feel the way you do. By reflecting, you will distill your thoughts into a few core principles. For example, software should be scalable (can easily accommodate thousands of concurrent users) and should fail gracefully (failure should be limited to the direct user and should not negatively affect all users). You have to be able to repeat these talking points over and over again, so that everyone knows where you are coming from.

participate coherently in oral discussions?
In an oral discussion, you have to first help the other person present his arguments. Then you can rebut. This means you have to ask clarifying questions. (1) what do you mean by this term -- please give an example? (just because you two use the same word doesn't mean you are talking about the same thing) (2) help me understand why you think X? (what is his basis for saying X is true) (3) help me understand the consequences of X? (what is his reasoning for what happens if you choose X).
Sounds like you are stating an opinion rather than some fact based on data. As proven by exponential growth in Teslas, there is clearly a massive fanbase of people who like touchscreen. I personally absolutely love it, and don't really know why other cars have knobs and buttons.
You can make an open-source database that uses the SQL language without paying a dime to anyone or signing any contracts. You don't have to pay for the ISO standard document to implement it - you can just infer behavior based on what you already know about sql.
It works fine for McDonalds. They just print the number in a huge typeface on the receipt. They don’t have to pretend to care, and I don’t have to mess around spelling my name out.
That explanation never worked for me, because you can turn it around to the situation where Monty does not know where the car is. Say there are 1000 doors, and you pick door 429. On his way to open door 429, Monty stumbles, falls, and accidentally knocks open every door except door 128. If by some coincidence all opened doors happened to contain goats, you will have nothing to gain from switching. Very counter-intuitive, but just as true as the original problem.

A possible intuition here is that Universes where your first pick was the door with the car, which initially were just 1 in a 1000 compared to Universes in which you picked a goat, will suddenly become massively overrepresented. After all, in these types of Universe Monty's Fall couldn't possibly have shown a car, whereas most of the other Universes will not survive to the next "round".

Of course, if this happened in real life, Bayesian thinking would increase the likelihood of hypotheses such as, for example, "The door containing the car has a better lock" to such an extent that I would switch.
> It was shared 300,000 times on Facebook, made the front page of Reddit and became a trending topic on 4chan

> (teeny tiny) cost for the handshakes

What happens when your ping time is >500ms?

> was that the performance overhead will be zero

I think QUIC is motivated by Google's expansion into developing markets (China, India, etc). These areas are primarily mobile markets that would like to consume the same content we do. What might sound like small overhead (SYN->SYN-ACK) actually takes half a second. If your performance is measured in this way than N connections times half a second is a long time. And, on mobile networks, sometimes your TCP connection will drop even if there's still data being sent back and forth (some times you can see latency spikes up to 3sec on really bad networks which causes most software to timeout since it thinks no data came in because of head-of-line blocking).

It's a truely miserable experience that QUIC or HTTP/3 can easily solve. Imagine how slow an `apt update && apt upgrade` is and how much of that overhead can be dropped by connecting to 1 mirror a single time and bulk requesting 10 to 100 file transfers. This allows you to maximize your network throughput. Think instead of how slow this would be if you opened 10 to 100 connections each of which might take 500ms per startup. In the worst case that's a 500ms penalty versus a 5 second penalty.

The overall point is that the host is not picking at random, and is thus affecting the outcome in a statistically reliable way.

According to Hawking, they will all eventually evaporate. For supermassive black holes speculated eventually to swallow galaxy superclusters, this will take on the order of 10¹⁰⁶ years.
I don't agree fully with the idea of getting rid of compilation units, object files and libraries. I think their existence is necessary for fundamental technical reasons. I also consider the "link everything statically" approach failed, because in the end you want at least some run-time linking (vdso for instance and actually also the fundamental system libraries).

But also languages like rust and swift and before them OCaml and Haskell show that the current prevalent C/C++ ABI is not powerful enough. And in principle, there is not much of a difference between the reason for header-only libraries in C++ and rust not having a composable ABI. It is always about the lack of information one can pass through the ABI.

Interestingly, one does not even need to exchange the definition of a rust function or that of a C++ template for monomorphisation. One could easily define an extensible library that will create the new specialisation for any given input. One would only need to "freeze" the compiler that was used to create the library and ship it with that library. Ok, easier said than done, of course.
> Another car company would not have delivered cars to the dealers if they knew that components were faulty at the time of delivery

Very Very doubtful. There is some accountant math that goes into those types of decisions. If that car made it all the way to the buy off ride and into manufacturing with those components and it was found later that they failed faster than expected or didn't always work quite right. They are not going to hold those cars back unless it causes a catastrophic and probably fatal, to the occupants, failure.

Otherwise they will hope it will fail outside of warranty and charge your for it.

Actually, Tesla nixed essentially their entire QA for the production line years ago because it was slowing down production.

I think you should worry. One of my math professors taught us how factoring to a(x+b(x+c*(...))) is a great optimization in an introductory class, because he had no idea about CPU pipelines for example.
> So much modern antitrust action against tech companies is like pushing on a string: the reason these companies have power is because so many customers choose to use them

That's not the only reason though? For example, Google "abused its market dominance by imposing a number of restrictive clauses in contracts with third-party websites which prevented Google's rivals from placing their search adverts on these websites" [0]. Facebook "has maintained its position by acquiring, copying or killing its competitors" [1].

The quoted statement seems to miss the point, which is that anti-competitive behaviour reduces the choice of the consumer. Of course they choose to use those services: they don't have much recourse to alternatives.

Well, I think you'll find from my previous arguments that immutability of the tenet is crucial. If it is an essential part of the belief system, only good can come from stating it to be so.

The hesitance indicates to me a desire to tack into shifting winds: useful, perhaps, to you who only has goals accidentally coincident to mine, but deleterious to me. But that's overly judgmental, perhaps you simply haven't had the time.

The schism is fixable. I will wait, acting only to preserve the trenches as they are. But until then it remains a schism.
A lot of people have offered other details. I’d add: in the Model 3 even instrument panel information like speed is in the center display.

Touchscreens cut costs because you can ship the same hardware to all SKUs and change features in software. Buttons need to be added or replaced with fillers depending on the options that each car has.
All I want to say is that I am thankful for an article feed where the top discussion is about something Roger Penrose said.
Probably not what they're asking. Probably yes they're using more resources. Question is if we're going to find a way to tame the ever-climbing heat dissipation as we continue to create more powerful processors.
Thanks, very interesting! Seems to have fairly high variability across regions (94% in Japan), would be interesting to see a split between industries as well.
Unthinkable in the time of Covid, but Roger Penrose once campaigned for Kimberley Clarke to destroy all its stocks of toilet paper.

Literally every story on the topic.
I'm a first generation Taiwanese American naturalized citizen. My main experience with the H-1B system is that tech companies play an awful game of locking in workers who may be happier working for a different employer. Others have compared it to indentured servitude, which seems apt. I don't know enough about the system to see how it should be reformed, but I heartily agreed it shouldn't be used to restrict immigration. I usually hate to draw from personal experiences in these conversations, but a debate primarily using emotional appeals drawn from anecdata can only be responded in kind.

I understand that there is an undercurrent of right-wing reaction in Silicon Valley. TechCrunch was breaking the news on neoreactionaries as early as in 2013, and recent political developments have only accelerated right-wing radicalism since then.

That said, by refusing to do something to advance worker power in the fear that it might be used by xenophobes seems like a fundamentally defeatist attitude to take, and rather ignorant of who's who. Xenophobes are not the ones pushing for tech workers to organize.
I know from experience that you have to train yourself to do that. Unless you grew up with two languages, an experience only slightly familiar to me, you have been, until you started learning language 2, thinking in your native language your whole life. Very hard habit to break!

there is a good chance that the world will see unblockable advertisements in our near future

I don't think we'll ever have unblockable adverts. It would give users a huge incentive to change browser. Google get a great deal of value from people using Chrome and I don't see them giving that up just to serve ads to people that want to block them.
This is one of those genius ideas that are "obvious in retrospect" and you think "how come nobody thought of this before". I bet spatialization of audio could massively improve intelligibility of video conferences with more than 2 participants. In retrospect it seems nuts that we're not really using stereo imaging. All the tech for spatial audio has been available for about three decades now, and much of it is out of patent already. Newer stuff even takes the position of your head into account for added realism.

I hope Google/Microsoft/Zoom pay attention to this as well. And also Logitech, Bose, etc, so that we see headphones with accelerometers and gyros built in.

I think you'll find the "low" wages in software here are lowish in comparison to wages in the Bay Area but are comparable to other professional salaries.

But also, the cost of living in the GTA has gotten completely out of control so that's part of it.

My wife and I bought a house in a "bad" neighbourhood of Toronto back in 2005. It was $280,000 CAD and that was the cheapest we could find in the GTA for a 3 bedroom detached home still on decent public transit.

At the time both of us were both employed in tech, and we still had to struggle a bit to scrape together a down payment. We didn't perceive $280,000 as a trivial or cheap amount. And even back then we wondered how families that didn't have our (pretty decent) income level could possibly be buying homes.

That same home would be now be worth over a million. I just can't grasp how that's conceivable at all. I make really good money as a Google employee, but I'd still find it frustrating to scrape together money for that. I don't understand how my kids will ever own a home.

So I think it's less that people are under-compensated in our industry as much as costs of living have just become stupid due to housing price inflation.

EDIT: wife went to go check the mailbox and it was stuffed full of real estate flyers only, including one from an agent who will give you a free lottery ticket if you come to his open house. I smell doom on the horizon, but I've been saying that for a decade, so don't listen to me.
I'm curious how one would even do control for this. The whole point of this treatment is to deliver sensations. How would you pretend delivering sensations in a way that can't be easily told from actual sensations?
Perhaps they did not need to state that tenet because it is obviously self-evident.
Every human factors study I’ve seen results for indicated that touchscreens were ergonomically inferior. Drivers would take longer to make the same adjustments and were more distracted while doing so. You may be underestimating how much the touchscreen impacts your ability to drive. Voice control is indeed much better, but as others have pointed out, experiences may vary.

It's actually not - it's the simplest to implement.

> I might be able to raise it to 20x, watch customers disappear and make more revenue.

No doubt, but that trick works only up to a point, after which you start losing customers rapidly and the whole business collapses after a critical mass switches to cheaper alternatives. The Laffer curve is an illustration of that idea. Push vehicle taxes to absurd levels (85-150% in Denmark) and you'll have half the population cycling to work. Some such effects might be desirable and socially/politically worth the loss of revenue, others - like a switch from industrially produced alcohol to moonshine, and resulting deaths - not so much.

Looking from Europe, the American obsession with low taxes over healthcare and general welfare seems short-sighted, but the expectation that you can infinitely raise taxes without ill side-effects isn't much brighter.

There are many things that use HTTP that are not web browsers. Things like S3, for example, can make use of no head of line blocking by allowing multiple file transfers, multiple pagination requests, etc. Even APIs can benefit from this by using bidirectional streaming.

Games can now also be built over a REST-like API using separate channels for different priority messages: movement, world state, chat, etc. Since you don't need to worry about blocking you get way better performance. Almost every game engine networking component essentially implements TCP-over-UDP just to get application level control over these functions.
I recognized the buttons immediately as they are fairly common in vintage synths of Roland, Korg and Sequential among many others.

And at least in my Mono/Poly the button is clearly not a single component but a combination of a tactile switch with a led and the cap.
Honestly, don't wait. These issues are very rare (otherwise you will see a post on HN every day). And even if you have some issues, they will send someone over to your home to fix it.
