This is not only complete bullshit but using the wrong overused accusations for it. There is nothing inherently white about patents. Japan, China, and India would be pretty shocked to hear it for one. If anything the tribal situation is either colonalism in not recognizing the indigenous people's prior art or "loopholes" that they deal with purified and quantified products and the long time users didn't. The intent of promoting purification and dose control was by design.

Then it gets into the Postmodernism mental illness in complaininf about a laboratory being preferred over a farm field or forrest for invention and acting like it is a cultural construct. Instead of what the actual fucking tools to work with are! Send the article to the internet with a vast array of buffered switches to construct the packets by hand next time before making such a moronic assertion.
And if you do try to bring a FOIA lawsuit, the government just says the magic words "national security" and the whole thing gets thrown out.
Wifidabba (dabba = “can” in Hindi”) is a pretty awesome idea.

I wonder how lasers work when obstructed.
Not so, that's exactly what's changing.
That’s already why people buy apple and AppleCare.

What you are describing is taking this even further in the direction of an information appliance.

I am unconvinced that there is any benefit that your model provides that Apple does not already.

You can already just buy a Mac with AppleCare and install MS office from the App Store.

People may want their choices to be simplified, but they are also going to need to be able to use whatever important new thing comes along. E.g. Zoom or Slack.

> My dismissal of the original statement is well explained.

No it missed the point. You can't play the game currently.

> Dramatics: you seem to be a person that understands the problem, understands individuality, but refuses to paint as more than a binary outcome. There are already a million gamers playing games on Linux, there's clearly room in the middle, and positive road to the future.

I also understand what is true and what isn't. With the dramatics I was more talking about the high minded attitude about saving the world by buying the right carrots, or using linux. I used to cycle a lot and many cyclists on there thought they could save the world by everyone cycling everywhere, while buying foreign kit that needed to be shipped over in a container.

As for the number of gamers. "Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics". Saying there is a million gamers sounds like there is a lot. It isn't. Those million gamers are like 1-2% of the whole market at best (you can look up the steam stats which I think are representative).

I game (partially) on Linux and the extra hoops I have to go through to get a game running isn't worth the extra effort when I can just reboot into Windows (which takes seconds with modern hardware).

> E-sports: the elite will continue to happen at real venues, but I think there's going to be significant growth in the every-day teams. Think five-a-side pub teams. They're not going to rent a £15k/d venue like Multiplay can, they're going to play online and need a way to ensure that all players are playing with the same tools.

Never said a pub-team would be playing at a 15k venue (btw local pub footie teams in the UK do sometimes play in the big stadiums). Different levels of competition have a different levels of scrutiny over the process. If I play pool at the local pool club against another team, we don't have a umpire on board. It is done by mostly by gentleman's agreement and each team captain not causing a fuss. If you see a match on a TV they will have an umpire/referee.

> A cloud-rendered system does that and it'll only become more feasible in time. Yes, there's higher latency, but it's a known latency.

The system they have currently is more than good enough and have none of the drawbacks of your proposed system. The latency problem is never going away with cloud based rendering because it is limited by physics. Gamers have rejected Stadia for the very problems I described (it was wildly mocked for it) and other services are expensive when you can buy a decent gaming PC for less than £1000.

Most of them don't care about Linux, they want to play games. On my discord (which has a lot of programmers and people in IT) I am the only person that uses it regularly. I've worked at quite a few places as well (I am a contractor) and there might be another Linux user there. This experience matches up with every other statistic about Linux usage. We are very much in the minority.
I think this probably falls into a very niche category of high-risk but "I get to brag about owning a piece of piece of broadband infrastructure 8000 kms away" assets. As it stands right now, investors are essentially purchasing novelty, not a risk-assessed financial instrument. It would be cool if they can make this into a legitimate funding model though.
What makes them not difficult? I have coded a small synthesizer with midi input some time ago and I thougt the real time audio processing was pretty challenging. There needs to be almost no latency.

An entire DAW will be much more complex.
> It's definitely a company wide policy to reduce load from free users

I agree that it's a company wide policy, but I'm not so sure it's to reduce load. It might just be that they want more subscription revenue and to reduce their reliance on advertising, which has current antitrust issues circling around it.

That’s not how MacOS works. It “keeps the pressure on” so to speak to try and have as much in-memory before you need it. Have you experienced actual issues with specific software?
It may just be cleaner to write it this way because the guarantee was different between generations, but the choice of "High quality" looks intentional. Pixel 1-3 (I don't remember 4, but definitely not 4a) were guaranteed unlimited storage at "full resolution", and for subsequent models the guarantee was changed to "high quality".

I have a Pixel 3, and this feature was important to me when I purchased the phone.
That may be true in much of the world, but here in the USA we just had an election where 70 million people voted for the guy who for the last four years has been quite outspoken and clear about NOT wanting quality of life “for all”.
Er, no. Dumping 75KWH as heat requires a big resistor bank. One of these[1] could dissipate the power from a fully charged Tesla battery in 45 minutes. That's probably about as fast as you could discharge one without it catching fire. And you'd need the battery cooling system working.

10Gbps for $299/m is still kinda pricey as heck for residential but certainly lovely if you need that kind of speeds.
There are ways of setting up solder fume extraction that is not intrusive, just like how casinos have HVAC systems that pull smoke upwards and out, generally avoiding the place smelling like smoke. I worked in a service center a long time ago that used such systems and if you shot video at ground level, you would never get any of that equipment in the shot.

That's great to read. Very glad you found your way here! HN has connected many people with their 'tribe' over the years, both online and in person with each other. I think that is the best aspect of what PG created with this site. I also think that we could maybe find new ways to encourage more real-world connections.

Well, Apple gives you 5GB of photo storage and only for Apple devices. Google was giving unlimited storage for any devices, including Apple’s.

It is only fair that in future they will give that perk only to Google device users:

> As a side note, Pixel owners will still be able to upload high-quality (not original) photos for free after June 1st without those images counting against their cap. It’s not as good as the Pixel’s original deal of getting unlimited original quality, but it’s a small bonus for the few people who buy Google’s devices.

Among big players I believe Amazon still offers unlimited high-quality photo storage.

It has always been like the classic car market for nerds. One guy paid me $500 to create a re-creation of the the VAXStation he used in grad school to do his thesis work on. I explained he could do everything he wanted to do with simh on a PC but it was the "feel" and the "sound" he really wanted to create. I was happy I could help him out.

It reinforced though that the money was being spent to recapture a time in their lives they felt things that they wanted to feel again. Classic nostalgia.
Yeah, usually. It's a common trope, but also a pretty tired one.

We have a pretty long history of plague, famine, war, and other "apocalyptic" scenarios, and in almost all accounts, people tend to help each other, and most would die of hunger rather than steal from an innocent person.

The main problem is that what we are very good at is building narratives that portray some class of "others" as not-so-innocent, and therefore, deserving all the pillage, rape, and murder we can muster. That's variously the neighboring nation, some minority ethnic group, political opponents, the rich, the clergy... you name them, there's some brutal revolution or war targeting 'em.

So, basically, the worst-case scenario is ending up on the wrong side of the pitchfork if / when the revolution comes. Something that, quite frankly, the Silicon Valley should be mindful of.
I use mostly Apple devices, both Mac and iOS, because I like the hardware. But I also have a cheap Android phone, and even though I'm not using it very often I find it more consistent/intuitive than iOS, mostly for two reasons:

One is iOS's arbitrary separation of settings and other app functionality. It makes no sense. I'll never remember what goes where.

Secondly, Android's back button is simple. I can use it without thinking even though you can probably find a lot of inconsistencies in its behaviour. iOS has multiple inconsistent one-off solutions for going back that cause a lot more mental friction.
I have Gigabit connection but my WiFi doesn't allow me to fully leverage it. Thinking of getting a WiFi 6 router but not sure if it's necessary. Will my experience be any different if my laptop can pull 1Gbps vs. 400Mbps?

What else is in production, or at least in prototype?
I don't disagree, but I think part of the reason they can say that is that it has not been exhaustively studied. There are various articles on nih.gov [1] that summarize the problem and what would be required to properly study this. There is also a big monetary advantage to using antibiotics in animals which makes me skeptical of any documentation. Perhaps I am too skeptical.

Someone else linked the actual kit, but specifically this is what they recommend regarding food:

Ready-to-eat canned meats, fruits, vegetables and a can opener

Protein or fruit bars

Dry cereal or granola

Peanut butter

Dried fruit

Canned juices

Non-perishable pasteurized milk

High-energy foods

Food for infants

Comfort/stress foods

There's high crossover between foods good for backpacking, and foods good for prepping. If you have hella money laying around, you could blitz out on some dehydrated meals, I think those are delicious. But they can come out to like, 9$ a serving or more. Packaged ramen is great for carbs and stores relatively compactly. Protein powder keeps well, but is only a supplement, not a meal.

On a budget, or if you just don't want to splurge thousands on your food prep that should be recycled usually yearly, I'd say stash dried rice, dried beans, maybe some bagged tuna (I like it more than canned for storage reasons), and some dried fruit so ya don't get scurvy.
One of the reasons why it's hard to compare the two is that the standard metric is time/loc, and it varies hugely depending on which language features are used. Both languages have features that can blow up compile times by a factor of 1000 or more.
And why not, a model where unsecure packages are not accessible anymore.
They do not. However, it's a grid, so one assumes they can reroute traffic so long as only one laser is obstructed.

Not a hardware issue, but a protocol issue. It used to be supported for limited devices (mostly HID) but the implementation was poorly designed and overly complicated. It was pulled out in 5.6 and its absence has not annoyed a developer enough to replace it.
I did some benchmarking on that public taxi rides dump (~600m records) and could run through it all in under 15 seconds directly from SSD. No way in hell your CPU will keep up with anything close to memory bandwidth or beyond 3GB/s.
You have to sleep. You have to get water and maintain certain other things outside your home from time to time. You may get sick and need additional rest. Or to go and get firewood etc.

If 10 people really really want your food and supplies, they will burn you out or crash a vehicle into your home, or drop a tree on it. Alone you are nothing, you are much more in a community.

Apple forced them into a situation that gives them fewer options. That isn't a statement about how good or bad each option is. It's a statement about the consequences that Apple's choices have for developers.

If I'm a travel agent and an affordable hotel near a travel destination closes down, I might have to book my clients in a nicer but more expensive hotel. Their trip will be a bit more expensive. Or maybe they'll travel to a different city. It doesn't mean I dislike the nicer hotel.
The trick is to actually prep with stuff you normally eat and use.

Please recall that when the last "big one" happened in the Bay Area, the outcome was very few deaths (63 people died), but decades of economic problems. 500 people die in car accidents in the bay area every year. It would seem that fatalities from earthquakes aren't a good model for making rational decisions about what is likely to affect you in your lifetime.
It’s not pedantry. There may be some circumstances where strategic use of debt contributes to making you rich, but leverage is not a necessary condition for building wealth. Stating that it is gives people the impression that debt instruments are the road to riches, when in fact they are often the exact opposite.
I converted to Ableton from Logic (pre logic x) a long time ago, but I still use logic sometimes.

There’s lots of small differences, and obviously you can make any type of music successfully on either, but generally my advice would be:

If you prefer recording traditional instruments & band tracks stay with logic,

If you prefer experimenting with sound design & electronic music in general, try ableton out. Also if you’re a programmer because you’ll enjoy max for live and the max MSP ecosystem.

I have WiFi 6 router, but only Wifi 5 devices. I get 300Mbps speeds on my devices. I'd say Wifi 6 does seem to have a steadier and more reliable wifi connection even from my older Wifi 5 devices.

The advantage for me is, I have multiple things using the internet, and if they all get 300Mbps it's pretty good.

Haven't had a chance to try a WiFi 6 to Wifi 6 connection yet.
I only use them because it's free. Sure, the creations are cute (especially the kids ones). But if I'm going to have to start paying someone, I'm afraid it won't be them. I suspect I'm not the only one making that calculation either.
Do you think Apple is just going to take the computer you touched, turn around, and sell it to another person? No, they’re going to take the whole thing apart, replace all the consumables and user-facing parts, the sell it as refurbished. And that’s the best case: they might have to strip it for parts or trash it depending on what it was that you bought.

This has nothing to do with a love of Apple or anything, and everything to do with “you’re abusing a program that they are going to either ban you from, or remove because you abused it too much”.

Yep. With Plucker, I could download the New York Times web site (I think via RSS) before I went to work, sync it to my Palm Pilot, and then read it on my lunch.
I could see "kernel_task" running and eating up CPU, in an attempt to throttle the system and cool things off. At least that's my understanding of it. Basically it came down to process of elimination, although I'm sure someone more experienced in the various fan and temperature readings on the Mac could have diagnosed it sooner.

It completely stopped once I ran the 4k monitors at native resolution, and when I got the eGPU setup.

The enclosure I purchased is the Razer Core X Chroma. One silver lining is it basically acts like a dock - has USB, wired NIC, and powers the system. Video card is a Radeon RX 580.
IMO (and that's a big IMO), you raise from VCs not just for the working capital but also for the network and the advice. Rando JOBS act investors provide none of that, which means their money is worth a lot less. It creates a really big adverse selection risk for main street investors.
> Having N95 masks as preppers did is as far off the mark from "cotton mask" as not wearing a mask at all,

No, it's not (overkill and inadequate are not equivalent).

> preppers would still run out of N95s

Worst case, preppers with N95s would have a window with more time to source/make masks taking pressure off and giving more bandwidth to deal with other concerns, of which there were plenty as the pandemic took hold.

> Besides masks, was there anything the public really needed that it could not get but could have stored inside their basement? Toilet paper?

Toilet paper, basic but nonperishable foodstuffs (there were shortages of all kinds of staples early on), and a number of other things (even things that were technically available were often not practically available or much more time intensive to acquire on short notice because of limited occupancy for stores and delays in online shipping.)
If I lived in Chattanooga, I'd undoubtedly subscribe to this, but I honestly don't even know what the actual value is of this.

Pushing my download speed up above 900Mpbs is basically a novelty. The only thing I use that actually uses that speed in practice is my Gaming PC's Steam updates, everything else takes a herculean effort. Speed testing websites are basically reporting their own bandwidth restrictions to me.

Even with that bandwidth, torrents struggle to perform at those kinds of speeds, and everything else is pretty much going to max out around 100mbps.

I have no idea what I would actually do with 10x more bandwidth. I could theoretically fill an entire 16TB hard drive with stuff in one day, but there's not a compelling need for that, at least not for more than a single day.
Xilinx makes FPGAs, not GPUs. The advantage of an FPGA is that all operations take place at the same time in hardware.
Verilog is one language that I would expect strong support for... they do mention RTL, which does many of the same things.

This is not a general purpose programming environment, it is more of an data flow / filtering system.

There is no allocation of memory, thus no need for garbage collection.
