> but don’t net destroy much value unless the parties are spiteful and deliberately destroy their own value.

I see this more often than one would expect. Most recently (older, but not senior, couple married for decades), one party did not agree with the other (amicable party offered 50/50, other party was spiteful), and ~$200k in value was destroyed through legal fees...to arrive at a 50/50 split.

Divorces can be amicable, but the frequency of this happening is not insignificant. Without a prenuptial agreement, you're rolling the dice. Do you feel lucky?
Competition in those areas is still good for the rest of us.

Why do people keep doing this. This idea has ruined the humanities and now because complacency its coming for the sciences. This entire argument reads like poetry instead of anything akin how the system works today in this reality.
> What happens to our workforce and salaries?

Ideally, people could work less and have the same standard of living, which is easier if things are cheaper.

If I was an evil wealthy person interested in perpetuating my position through controlling people, but slavery was outlawed, I'd design a system where work is overvalued so people will be too tired to participate in civic life.
Whoever told you this was probably trying to sell more ammunition; modern ammunition is good for decades at least. In the present, use of old ammunition (a few decades or more) is discouraged because the old formulations of primer compound produce corrosive hygroscopic metal salts that will rust your gun badly if you're not dilligent with cleaning. Very cheap old surplus ammunition from overseas is something to be wary of, but that's mostly because of bad QC that made that ammunition unreliable or dangerous from the day it was made.

As for atal or sling, unless you've been practicing with these since you were a child, I think you'll sooner starve to death than score yourself a single meal. The cultures which used those tools had people practicing with them for years before they were useful with them. A sling is easy to make, I encourage you to try it out. I used a pair of shoelaces I bought at the grocery store for $2. It is not easy to even get the projectile flying in the general direction you intended, so if you try this make sure you're far from any buildings or bystanders...

(But really, I recommend buying some canned food. It is unlikely any infrastructure collapse would last more than a few weeks. Any scenario where you have to hunt for food at all, let alone for years, seems exceedingly unlikely.)

Gig to your domicile is fine, but getting it to various rooms is not a straight forward challenge.

I tried the latest Ethernet over Power and it was abysmal. Wifi5 is good when close to the AP. At this point it's wiring for Cat6 in order to fully utilize my Gige from Comcast.
I thought Google was sunsetting Fiber and looking to sell it off?

Or were they just stopping further deployments, and this only applies to existing customers/covered areas?

Yes, this is the critical flaw in sortition.

Consider how well jury service (doesn't) work. A highly trained class of influencers can game the system towards their preferred choice of outcome using arguments and techniques that are knowingly manipulative.

You'd soon end up with an oligarchy disguised as a civil service. Representatives would come and go, the civil service would remain and "guide" them.

The real power would continue to be lobby influence - and very likely explicit corruption of both civil servants and representatives.
At The Factual (thefactual.com) we're proving that people will pay for news if (a) it saves them time (b) is affordable. This doesn't yet fund the news ecosystem but we plan to do so via licensing of articles in the near future.

I used to live in a Google Fiber city, but had to move away. I yearn desperately and dearly for google fiber (or a similarly interests-aligned ISP) to come to my new city.

Unfortunately I moved out of a city metro area and am now in a smaller town that acts like a suburb of the major city I live near (~20-30 mins from the center of downtown). So my hopes for having google pay attention to us is ~0, at least over the next decade or two.

Spectrum offers 940mbps down / 40 up and it's... fine. I watch my bill like a hawk because of the history of all these actors and I really wish I had more upload bandwidth (for linux iso torrents - and I'm actually not being euphemistic here. I host a lot of stuff locally that I wish had a bigger upload pipe - passion project stuff in addition to seeding linux-related content.)
> Google is 100% running out of space.

No, Google's decided that, in the language of their critics, they want users to be customers, not “products”.
You should probably put calendar reminders to start eating from the supply in time and re-stock before things expire.

If shit hits the fan you probably don't want to be stuck with a supply that's already expired.
Unless you really care about saving 1 oz of weight get the regular sized mini. Better flow rate and lasts longer when you really need it. I’ve switched back to the full-size for backpacking because the trade offs for the mini aren’t worth it.

Google kills their services so often I had thought Google Fiber was dead / sold off.
Just it existing is a threat to the other providers. I agree that it would have been nice if it spread faster. But I think slow and steady is probably actually the best strategy here. Serve your customers really well, then expand as it makes sense. If the other providers get their act together then you don't need to expand, if they don't show them how it is done.

It depends highly on your acquisition channel too. Twilio and Stripe famously target developers knowing that in a lot of organisations they don't make the final decision but have a lot of "pester power"; it's a risky, but big pay off strategy. I'd imagine (ie no data) that companies with that strategy may benefit more from sponsoring developer events/newsletters?

Fresh college grads generally are poor but the term in this context is never used to describe their social class. We'd instead describe them as broke, as we expect they'll soon improve their lot. Poor hence obviously indicates the class for whom the probability of doing this is below average if not terrible. It's a probability on a collective not any rule applied to an individual
I assume by "some forms of indebtedness may be difficult to avoid" they mean a great many people have student loans and mortgages.

Personally, I'm with you: the people who taught me to manage my finances had lived through periods where inflation and annual loan interest rates were 15%-20% - their attitude was that getting a loan to buy a car was a fool's game, and a sure sign you were living beyond your means.

At 15% annual interest I'm sure they were right - but after a decade of near-zero interest rates, I can understand why people these days are a lot less worried about buying a car on finance.
Hm — maybe that’s in reference to it coming out of beta or something? I can tell you I made my first Discord server in 2015.

"This moment has been brewing for years now, and the new Apple Silicon is both shocking, but also very much expected. In the coming weeks we’ll be trying to get our hands on the new hardware and verify Apple’s claims."

Anandtech doesn't have the ability to say either way since they are also going by the marketing data ... once they benchmark it for real then they'd be able to prove either way, but your statement is premature.
Why is no one talking about this solution?
Not just life saving, but you could potentially save very expensive property or business as well. We have been in a situation where electronic door locks failed in a power outage (hurricane) and we needed to access an email server behind those walls for an emergency retrieval of data. Everything was lights out, we were just trying to get the physical box out of the locked room. Ultimately had to crawl through ceiling tiles to circumvent the inoperative door lock.
We will probably see the next round of new Macs in either March or June. I suspect that is when we will see the next version of the chipset that would support higher RAM limits and more I/O ports. We might start seeing the new hardware design language,too.

Very interesting indeed. I remember having to paste a script in the console in order to be able to view my cached files.
Just a few days ago there was a thread about internet coverage and prices in Canada [0] and it's a stark contrast to initiatives like Fiber.

After downloading, can you upload to a different cloud photo service? I'd love to have a way to sync them automatically, and having a non-cloud backup would be nice too.
> Today, more than 4 trillion photos are stored in Google Photos, and every week 28 billion new photos and videos are uploaded.

I found this snippet pretty amazing to think about, it's a scale I've never operated at or planned for. And probably most of us never will.

I wonder what kind of infrastructure, software, bandwidth, and cost considerations (aside from this blog post) they have to contend with.
Google is running out of ways to keep up with revenue expectations, it's becoming quite obvious. Even Chrome has small ads at the bottom from time to time now, the desperation is quite clear.

Entry level and workstation class are completely orthogonal concepts. You can have an entry-level workstation. But the macbook pro 13 inch is not an entry-level workstation. It's not a workstation at all. It's also not an entry-level laptop. Razer, like Apple, doesn't offer entry level laptops. Apple and Razer simply don't operate in that market segment. But Dell and Lenovo do. Here are some examples of their entry level stuff:

This is not true. 50 year old ammo will shoot indistinguishably from new ammo if both have been stored correctly. Prolonged exposure to water or high humidity can damage cartridges by preventing the powder from burning, but that doesn't make it more dangerous, only useless (at worst).

When programming 'business logic', the multitude of programming languages is a good thing- it allows one to choose the best way to model a problem.

With computer aided proofs, I do wonder if the multitude of systems trying to create a mathematical library of Alexandria is a good thing.

Essentially they're re-formalising the same theorems across different languages. Certainly some languages will model a specific problem better, but it does feel like a duplication of effort.

I bought a new construction (I wasn't specifically looking for a new construction so it was already done when I got to it) and was really disappointed to see that:

- no conduit in the walls
- no ethernet in the walls
- coax to every room but it all terminates outside the house

which I'm sure meets most people's needs but was annoying for me. And it would've been so cheap to do it "right."

So I'm relegated to relying on the fact that I have very conveniently located unfinished half of basement and garage where I can do lots of cabling and just pop through the wall right at the end.
76% of incorporated places in the US have a population of less than 5000. I’m not sure a 50k+ place can be referred to accurately as a small town - where I’m from, cities with populations that large have managed to maintain their local papers anyway, unlike the smaller towns.
Random Deutsche Bank goons - pretty much the dirtiest big bank in the world (easy to search) - are not “economists” in the implied general sense.
It's sort of a spectrum, though, isn't it? I mean, we had a sorta/kinda "collapse" in April for a few weeks. There were genuine shortages of some stuff.

And more topically: let's be honest, right now the US is on a crazy train heading straight for riots and a general strike come December 14th. Are nationwide giant protests against a stolen government a "collapse of society" too? A little, yeah.

Apple active cooling systems are also not that great, with the six core MBP15" heating and throttling when it was first released, and the MBP 16" also having heating/throttling issues.

The Mac Mini also isn't the paragon of active cooling. I've worked with one of the current gen Intel Mac Minis, and that thing gets really hot! Like 60-80 degrees celcius. The insides must be cooking if the outside is that hot.

The 2013 Mac Pro also had heating design issues, only corrected with the current gen Mac Pro.

I'd say active cooling is a consistent weakness of the entire modern Mac hardware design division.

The Google Photos interface itself isn't that big of a product (I think), if you can lose some of the sharing features, I guess it'd be quite an easy app to make that can be run off a v-server or Amazon at considerably less long-term trouble.

Or, the App Store tends to attract already vulnerable software?
> It's not efficient to have a query service listen to both events from message bus to store in DB and serve requests. It's best to have dedicated sink service(s) where data is streamed to database(s) with certain level of guarantees.

Could you elaborate on this? We’ve deployed a view aggregate services that we expose through a HTTP interface, but you’re suggesting to stream this state to a database instead? Is that so that you can avoid the whole snapshotting trouble?

>Just it existing is a threat to the other providers.

In my area (a suburban area near Raleigh) it seemed like AT&T really got moving and deployed Fiber after Google put out the "coming soon" flyers. I hope Google keeps pushing forward, even if it's very slow. This will force other providers to improve.
