> The hosting/caching of those pages on outside caches is a bit more problematic, especially when it gets used by Google to de-emphasize the destination site in favor of flicking through Google results.

I think this gets at a core tension - there are three parties involved in a search results page. The search engine, the destination site, and the user. Each has its own set of incentives. Both search engine and destination site have this bizarre idea that they have some kind of root-given right to the user's undivided attention for as long as they like.

The user's interests are frequently poorly represented. They rarely include giving either search engine or destination site the amount of engagement each feels they deserve. Often, but not always, the search engine is somewhat better aligned with the user.

> I think the same idea implemented as a browser standard would have much better reception.

I personally have quite deep doubts. A standard like AMP works only because it can require adhering very strictly to a tightly written specification that blocks a lot of the things website authors want to do. I suspect AMP as a browser standard would produce a vast amount of forever broken webpages before publishers ditched it due to poor ad revenues and went back to their crappy, bloated, slow, ad-laden pages.

The ability to load it into a CDN controlled by someone else - kind of a huge deal for performance reasons - is exactly the key feature that's user-friendly and hated by publishers. It's the kind of thing that would be cut out of a browser standard or just ignored by publishers.

Utter crap. The overwhelming majority of NSO's hiring pool -- i.e. army tech "graduates" -- are firmly against them. Another chunk doesn't care and is swayed by their 2-4x salaries, luxurious company vacations, gifts, all things to "make it up for" what you do.

They're known to be "the bad guys". The tech courses we took in the army had plenty of emphasis on ethics, both the moral kind and conflict-of-interest kind.

Why does Apple want the UAW contracts that come with any of the Big 3?

Tesla showed the preferable model (from the corporate perspective). Buy the factory (NUMMI), hire some of the ex-UAW workers, and go from there. They don't need the whole hog.

Plus if Apple really wants GM drivetrains, they can just buy crates them. GM's not going to turn down sales of any kind in this climate.
Whatever, linkbait and exhausted discussion. The idea that there's some universal rule for productivity is trivial to disprove, it's going to be a function of the environment you find yourself in.

You'll find some companies where the most effective use of your time is building, because everybody else plans. You'll find some companies where the most effective use of your time is tooling. You'll find companies where the most effective use of your time is doing product work. You'll find companies where the most effective use of your time is challenging the business status quo.
This will be interesting because unlike the phone or computer, cars already exist and even electric cars and self driving technology too. It remains to be seen how Apple differentiates itself and if it can do it effectively enough.
DSLRs (and other high-end cameras) typically have a ton of JPEG options too. Though I usually just shoot raw and let Lightroom apply presets.

That said, the traditional camera manufacturers are pretty much laggards with respect to software so their better hardware isn't really used to full advantage a lot of the time.

Nobody assumed you were. And by sympathize you mean putting forth the argument that "great hackers" are the worst hire an ISV can make?

The author portrays himself as a coding by profession, 9 to 5 paycheck programmer, and also as the best possible hire because he has identified the users as being the primary goal. Weird.

I assume that the way he writes software is similar to the way he is piggybacking on the passion and expertise of Paul Graham.

Microsoft really went above and beyond for compatibility - sometimes too much beyond.

We had a security auditing tool. When it ran on Windows, it tried to determine which version of Windows it ran on. It broke on a new version of Windows, because Windows reported a version that the security tool didn't know about. So Microsoft "fixed" it. They had a list of programs that, if the running program was on that list, Windows would lie and report itself as being the previous version. (I think this was Windows 2003 reporting as Windows 2000.)

Unfortunately, that meant that we couldn't fix it. The right fix would be for us to update our code to know what Windows 2003 was, so that we could put Windows-2003-specific checks in. But we couldn't do that, because Windows would never report itself to us as Windows 2003!

I think we got around it by changing the name of the application before trying to determine the Windows version, and then changing it back...

The processor tech isn't going to do much for cars. They could get by with something cheaper no doubt. I don't think anyone really cares about clock speed or processor efficiency in a car because you're not really doing anything that last decades' processors couldn't handle (especially with less bloated code bases). Maybe face recognition + key fob presence to authenticate and start the car.

I don't know if Apple's quality is going to translate to cars either unless they poach a bunch of people. Safety features will compromise the quality at some point, but maybe they're good enough to work around it elegantly.

Plus people paid a premium for Apple's quality, but are they willing to do so when that premium is multiple thousands of dollars extra for a car? They could afford low/zero cost financing if they wanted to.
I still can’t see Apple producing a car. The company has a history of releasing a product and then letting it wither on the vine of innovation. More like technology for a car, or teaming up on some connected technology, but they won’t make the car.

I work for a tier 1 EV supplier, I've spent 2 months in Hyundai's Namyang R&D center, several weeks at Aston Martin's facilities, and some others, you undersold it by A LOT. Ford, GM and other veterans on the industry have long lost their original spirit, just like any other company, but what they have is established processes and supply chain management, and that takes decades to do right. You can ship a 1st gen iPhone without a working camera, vehicle recalls hit you much harder.

I appreciate your optimism. I tend to be optimistic about the future myself. But there is no law of the universe that everything will work out ok. Only if we make the right decisions as a species and we don't get unlucky.

I'm quite apprehensive that the great filter lies ahead - that technology accelerates too rapidly compared to our wisdom and we end up nearly destroying ourselves. We're getting the ability to program life itself and to likely to democratize the ability to harness the forces inside the atom. Neither of which we're ready for as a species.
This reminds me of the classic Neal Stephenson extended essay on computer interfaces, In the beginning was the commandline, it’s too long to excerpt here, but the basic gist was if computers were cars, Windows was a station wagon that was practical but broke down a lot, Macs were expensive Euro sedans, BeOS was a batmobile for car enthusiasts who probably already owned the station wagon, and Linux was a free tank that took a lot of training to operate and wasn’t sold through dealerships, but given away by a ragtag group of volunteers in a field.

Like pointed out elsewhere, it's not "Bellingcat" claiming that it's easy to do -- it's literally everyone.

I have no interest in navigating the stolen databases myself but plenty of other journalists have and confirm just everything exists like Belligcat says. Is it possible that Bellingcat were tipped off and used the databases to parallel construct their investigation? Sure? I guess? But it's exactly how they have performed many of their other investigations in Russia so I find it highly unlikely.
Even big car companies like Mercedes outsource the manufacture of some models for third parties. For example Mercedes-Benz GLC is assembled by four different companies: Daimler AG itself, HICOM, TAAP, and Valmet Automotive.

Just like they don't own companies that assemble iPhones, they don't need to own car assembly. They can dictate and control the quality without owning factories. Most parts are outsourced anyway.
The project started sometime around 2016, so going by Apple’s track record 2024 seems like a possibility. Tesla needs a competition and is slowly turning into a monopoly.

>>>"Occupancy in U.S. nursing homes is down by 15%, or more than 195,000 residents, since the end of 2019, driven both by deaths and by the fall in admissions, a Wall Street Journal analysis of federal data shows."

What exactly constitutes a WSJ analysis? This seems more like a WSJ employee hired their "Special" child to produce this report. Are care homes even allowing new residents in at this time? I guess it would be a good way to guage Grandma's strength..."how wany people does it take to pry her out of the car and drag her into the home!"

The truth is, families were already bathing, feeding and otherwise taking care of loved ones that were in these warehouses. When they were locked out and prevented from "Visiting", the staff that had downloaded their jobs to the families were overwhelmed and unable to do the full amount of work required of them, people started dying because of it.

If and when the KooFoo ends there needs to be investigations into, and reform of these so called "Care" homes.

> - Healthcare for 40% of Americans? Socialized. (Medicare, Medicaid, VA). Medicare is socialized medicine.

> Americans pay less for food than anyone else and more for medicine than anyone else.

Is your point then that food is cheap because it is socialized at a 100% rate as you want healthcare to be? Or that your references to socialism are all red herrings?

Poor people can get free healthcare the same ways they get free food, Govt programs and charities. Food banks are private charities, by the way.

You are not defining coercion properly. It means force or threats of force.

Freeways are not a necessity of life, though we are certainly coerced into paying for them. At least they aren't as expensive as that Army you mentioned. Apparently you define all government spending as socialism, making the only other possible form of "govt" anarchy itself?
I'm not sure I see that. Clearly they are good at making computer like things, but it's not like they're God's gift to supply chain management. There's been quite a few mistakes over the years. Hard to see them doing better than car companies that have been building cars for decades.

I'm also not sure what Apple's edge here is. At this point all I really want out of an entertainment center is a screen for my phone to plug into. Everything else is better done as knobs and buttons.
You are kind of right. Being a part of a community all going through the same struggle definitely helps. Just not being around people getting wasted is a big help in itself. You can't just take a large chunk of your life away, it must be replaced with something.

The part about helping others is a big factor. It gives a reason other than self, which seems to be a big factor.

It's hard to say what makes it "work" for certain. The Oxford Group, the predecessor of AA, lacked the helping others aspect and did not see widespread success. This is what AA itself considers to be their unique magic.

Or maybe it's all the sayings! God, there are so many sayings.

Despite being very hostile initially, I got a lot of benefit from 12 step programs. It is not something I have stayed formally involved with, but I got a lot of helpful insight.

I don't think any one thing did it for me, it was a long and difficult process. The fact I'm alive and stable today is a small miracle. Most people in the state I was aren't so lucky.

I know what doesn't work though: Shame. I had to stop shaming myself before I could get well.
For garage level, I built this charcoal aluminum forge with my friend and it works great for the price! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHD10DjxM1g

It's relatively easy to re-cast aluminum at home at small scale. I think the biggest challenge for boat-sized would be the massive amount of energy needed to heat all that metal, plus the huge crucible and machinery to pour it.

Another issue with home-cast aluminum is alumina (oxidized aluminum) which will make small inclusion defects in your print. I've had several casts fail because I wasn't able to properly separate the alumina and the high-alumina areas were very brittle. I think most aluminum foundries have the electrolysis capabilities to convert all the alumina back to aluminum, but this is an extremely high voltage hot process that does not seem feasible for garage-scale.

(As an aside, aluminum cans have a ton of oxide because of the high surface area, so you get a ton of dross that must be skimmed off to use the molten aluminum. We would do it in two steps: first melt cans and pour in a muffin tin to make small ingots, then use those higher-purity ingots to cast the desired piece. Probably better in most circumstances to just start with lower-surface-area aluminum materials: better to pay for quality bar stock or ingots rather than spend the same on more charcoal for multiple runs.)
