Despite becoming more similar in recent years, the cell phone supply chain is still very different than the automotive supply chain. The number of parts/unit differs by an order of magnitude and so does the size and weight, not to mention manufacturing techniques and materials. These are capabilities, not so much skills, and they aren't as transferable as you may think.

For instance, logistically things are very different in the automotive space. Many, many more people are required to ship a single unit. You also have many more variables that can hold up a production line anywhere in the hierarchy because you rely on more 3rd parties for parts. While these things are also true of consumer electronics, you may rely on a dozen suppliers for an iPhone, car companies often rely on hundreds.

Materials are also very different in the automotive space. You have to build with materials that will last 100k miles driving a 80mph in all weather, day/night, freezing/scorching etc etc. It is a very long tail to cover. Apple can do it, but it will take years and many, many partners to get it done.

Sure, we have porn examples like Kim Kardashian. Apparently people don't consider her fungible--God knows why. And we obviously know that a sitting President pays about $100K for sex with a Playboy centerfold.

Simple question: Who was the most popular porn star 5 years ago? 10 years ago?

Most of the past porn stars lament how much the ubiquity of porn has reduced their escort/stripper revenues which were way more than their porn revenues ever were.

Just like everything that goes online, your customer base goes global but so does your competition. And the customer base is mostly men in developed rich countries while the competition is a lot of very pretty young women in very poor countries.

At my university of 20K+, we automated everything as student devs. Parsed the DMCA emails, followed the traces through various types of networks and network logs (public network with leased IPs, dorm networks, MAC addresses, etc) to see who was holding the IP at the time, responded to the DMCA email, and sent students automated emails with warnings and quizzes and reprimands. We put on management frontend on top of it to display data and let admins do manual actions.

Sure, but having used static vs. dynamic languages extensively on gnarly problems, it’s pretty clear what they’re saying. There comes a point where dynamic languages can be quite hard to debug compared to language with well deigned types, especially when working on tricky problems with many constructs and elements. Less rules does not equal greater productivity.

Nokia's position was weaker than it might have appeared on the surface. They had good hardware and distribution channels but were totally lacking a modern mobile device OS. The Symbian platform was garbage. Nokia never made sufficient investment into a replacement.
That's a terrible analogy. Apple offers products and services to customers who with to pay for them. The CCP controls a region.

Just a quick bit of info -- Snebu is an open source backup tool I put together a number of years ago, and have been using it in a lab backing up about 50 hosts. It is snapshot based, and maintains a database backed backup catalog (using SQLite), and is quick to set up / low maintenance.

Since it uses "tar" as a serialization format (it ingests tar files, storing the metadata from the tar headers in the DB), I was able to add encryption by creating "tarcrypt" as a filter for tar files. This extends that tar file format a bit (documented in the above page), and uses public key encryption with HMAC verification. The tarcrypt program can stand on its own.

which in turn affects the size of the rest of the lens elements.

Sort of. The diameter of the front element is predetermined, a function of the sensor size, focal length, and aperture. Mirrorless cannot escape this.

But, the shorter distance from sensor to lens does simplify the design of a good wide angle. Sadly, wide angles were never the big heavy lenses in the first place.

The whole smaller & lighter thing is not a lie but pretty oversold. Some of the RF glass is actually bigger and heavier than the equivalent EF glass.
Yeah I'd love to play with my 2019 F-Mount lenses on a top-grade 90's film body.

Science evolves in light of evidence, facts are facts regardless of consensus. At one point the consensus was that dietary cholesterol was very bad for you... it didn't change the facts and was the consensus for a very long time despite (often buried) evidence to the contrary.

Not all LDL is the same. VLDL and glycated LDL seem to be the problematic markers and aren't necessarily directly tied to saturated fat in the diet. HDL:TG as a ratio is a far better marker for overall health than HDL:LDL or cholesterol markers on their own by count. It's more about oxidative stress and inflammation more than it is about dietary cholesterol and saturated fat specifically.

Not to say you should eat an unnatural amount of either only in so much that you shouldn't avoid natural food sources in favor of say processed foods which are far worse in so many ways. I'm an advocate of mostly paleo, most of the time and that should include animal sources even if only fish and/or eggs.

> only granted voting rights to women in the 70s

If we consider how more powerful are individual citizens in a direct democracy compared to a representative democracy, the indirect power (of nagging her male relatives and friends, to directly propose laws and vote on them) an average Swiss woman had before the 70s probably still exceeded the direct power (to vote for one of the few pre-approved people once in a few years) an average woman has in any other democracy today.
I had never heard of Amazon Vine before, but am willing to assume that there are a ton of problems with it; but this post doesn't clearly articulate them. It seizes on problems with two reviews, and seems premised on the idea that "I know my product is flawless, so the problem for any reviews that are less than 5 stars must be with the reviewer."

(The case doesn't seem very clearly made—despite the highlighted policy—for why it should be inappropriate for someone to write about their observations of someone else's experience with the product, only why it would be inappropriate to write "I hear lots of people don't like this" or similar. Also, the complaint about reviewers leaping to judgements is surely accurate, but more a problem with (at least non-expert) reviewing in general than with this particular program.)

Why would you think Apple is capable of building rockets? They have essentially zero aerospace expertise and that type of engineering is not at all in their DNA.

I have a slow cooker, a rice maker, and pressure cooker--none of which I use that much. I'm guessing that an Instant Pot--even if not optimal for at least a couple of those uses--would be a better choice if I were starting over.
> In places with free street parking (or public lots), I suspect the population is sparse enough that the added land cost for parting isn't a big deal, most people have cars, and most people support having parking.

This is not true in Manhattan, which (to my knowledge) is the most densely populated borough in the most densely populated city in the US. Almost all street parking in Manhattan is free, with small carve-outs for meters on high-traffic blocks.

The city also has a semi-official policy of allowing commercial traffic to ignore parking laws[1]. In practice, that means trucks parked on sidewalks, with pedestrians exposed to car traffic on the streets.

Well, who's going to do anything about it if we do have a problem? No one's in a position to rein Amazon in on its clearly abusive behavior in important domains; who both wants to and is able to regulate what it calls its services?

As I'm sure you know, Spivak[0] (whose lecture notes the book is based on) was one of Milnor's advisees at Princeton. I was told by another Princeton PhD who was there shortly after Spivak (may have overlapped, I'm not quite sure) that whenever Spivak had a problem he thought was interesting he would discuss it with Milnor, who invariably had already thought about it and knew the answer. This experience dissuaded Spivak from an academic career because he felt he could never be as good a mathematician as Milnor. At least that's the story I was told.

The majority of countries don't have laws like jaywalking yet they have similar speed limits to the US. Instead you have a mutual understanding of don't step out infront of traffic when you're a pedestrian, and look out for pedestrians when you're driving.

> They both allow for clean functional approaches and deep recursion in practice.

Please tell me what kind of functional approaches Common Lisp and Scheme allow that Python doesn't.

Scheme is the only one o the three that has t.c.e. as a language feature, of course.

> Both get low level enough to get decent performance from the language itself (unlike python).

Scheme is far, far more performant than C.L. and that's due to language design choices.

> I guess what I'm saying is I can write CL code that feels very scheme like in approach and also is comfortable in the language. The same is not close to true of python.

I think you might simply not know how to or believe that it feels more Scheme like simply because it's written in a similar syntax.

Even JavaScript started as a Scheme dialect that later was given alternative syntax, mind you.

There is however one big thing: and that is that Python lacks true block scope, which both Scheme and Common Lisp have, but on the flip-side Common Lisp has dynamic variables, and different cells for functions and values. as well as `setf`.
I am not from UK but I think this is an important and critical information. How is the daily deaths chart in Kent and London?

Deaths will be visible later on than infections but by now there should be a visible effect if IFR/CFR is different. If there is no visible difference it's possible that R0 increased while IFR remains steady (which is bad enough).

That is so true. Ethics are mere marketing talk when investor profits are on the line. And Foxconn is universally considered as the "evil guy" when they are just doing exactly what Apple wants them to do: manufacture the parts very cheap. I can't recall do they also assemble them too.
I dunno, some of them are fun. The ship navigation one this year was fun to solve, as was the gameboy emulator one.
Yeah this is basically part of the deal when you take VC and raise hundreds of millions. Don't expect much in return if you fail to deliver, or really unless you skyrocket at least 10x as expected in such arrangements.

When this article talked about the ladder of standard candles, I started to wonder: when using the brightness of supernovae between near and far galaxies, what about intergalactic dust absorbing some of the light?

> I would say 99% of all articles on this site and r/programming on reddit have someone say exactly what you have - that microservices are an organizational tool. At this point your view is not an unpopular one.

Microservices have been from the start an organizational tool, with reliability and the ability to scale horizontally to avoid constraints of vertical scaling trailing at second place.

The rationale is that the first bottleneck that is hit by a growing organization is developer's throughput (i.e., the ability to deploy bugfixes and features without hitting blockers due to multiple teams being affected by a changeset). After that point, a service has to grow a tad more until reaching a point where the requests bounded to a subset of features justifies peeling them out to independent services.
One way I deal with this problem in an alternative workflow manager (Nextflow), is by calculating the memory requirement for the ~95th percentile of a job, and submitting with a rule "If this crashes from going OOM, re-submit with memory*N" (up to some max number of retries/RAM). This lets most jobs sail through with a relatively low amount of RAM, and the bigger jobs end up taking a bit more time and resources.

The better your estimator function, of course, the tighter constraints you can use.

A full blood count of Covid-19 patients could predict disease severity
So food is cheap because the govt intervenes, ignoring the giant private market, and healthcare is expensive because of the private market, ignoring the massive govt intervention. How convenient.

"Threatening to not perform a service for someone" is not coercion, and does not invalidate a free market. A market is a place where scarce products can be exchanged between buyers and sellers who meet at an agreed upon price. The ability to refuse service is a prerequisite for having a market and the idea of private property itself, not some kind of unexpected flaw. The fact that something is scarce may well be problematic for some who cannot afford to outbid others who can afford it, but no system eliminates scarcity. Ask Venezuelans, who I am sure you were dying to talk about, what happens when you try to overcome scarcity with price fixing and free money. You simply achieve shortages.

In the 1980s the US did not have a 40 percent socialized system. The fraction of people on medicare was far less. Yet it was not the most expensive system in the world then. The US system is definitely failing, but it isn't the 300-year old market system that is causing it.
This article isn't about microservices. It's about a monolith that microservices were built on top of, then that code pulled back into the monolith.

If you built serviced with its own data, built translation layers to handle deltas, you could move away from the monolith over time and have discreet services for your domain and sub-domains.

> But for those of us who aren't, I think it's necessary. The world is too complex for all of us to make up our own minds on everything.

More specifically, attempting to make up our minds on everything will inevitably lead us to accept the simplest superficially plausible explanations (that fit our existing biases), and the world is too complex for all those simple explanations to be correct, so we'll mainly find ourselves in the local maxima that have already been explored and properly abandoned by specialists.
I feel like that’s not true, music is hard to analyze. Movies have synopses, and are generally categorized by their cast alone. I could figure out LotR belongs together from these datapoints, easily. Not to mention the fact that people watch trilogies in sequence like 99% of the time.
>Will it just be a simple webpack plugin or will more discipline be required?

Broadly speaking, it's a webpack plugin that finds all Client components and creates an id -> chunk URL map on the disk. And then the Node.js Loader that replaces imports to Client Components with access to to this map. You will be able to wire it up yourself, but there are other bits (like routing integration) so we're going to make it work in a framework like Next.js first. Then once there is a quality integration, you can copy how it's done in your custom setup.

>Can this be run in any other back end other than Node since it only transmits a stream of serialized vdom?

React components themselves are JS so we'd expect the backend to be in JS. (I mean, you could reimplement it in Rust or something, but then you can't easily move components to the Client and back.) There is no hard dependency on Node.js itself — as long as your JS environment has some sort of streams, we could make it work.
AFAIK an explicit goal of React (at least in the beginning) was to not be opinionated at all and to only provide the view/rendering part of an app. Since then it feels like its scope has expanded a bit. Or maybe not? Not sure which batteries are supposed to be included anymore. Would be interesting to hear Dan's thoughts on this.
