Market Musings: SoftBank's SPAC and Peloton Purchase
I think Google's bundled services cements their grip on AOSP more than it supports it being independent. All Android handset OEMs basically have no choice to install Google services because AOSP isn't mass marketable on its own, and nobody can really compete with Google's combination of Play/Gmail/YouTube/Chrome/search. Once you have a Google account, you get funneled into these other services, and it makes it difficult for any other services to gain traction. If we want AOSP to truly be free, then it has to be useable outside of the Google ecosystem.

Android is like a club with free drinks, but Google Services are the $150 cover charge.

For resistive loads (like the heating element in a kettle), half the voltage gives you a quarter of the power. (Electric kettles work just fine on 110/120; they just haven't been a thing in the US. They've been ubiquitous in Canada, although they've been pushed aside somewhat by drip coffee makers. You just need a lower-resistance heating element than would be practical with 220/240.)

It is changing among most critical fans, but most consumers do not look past their local game store. Plus, their games are still really enjoyable to many, despite these malpractices (even those affecting the games themselves, like Origami King).

That said, it is pretty hard to think of toon-shaded "bing bing wahoo" man as the mascot of shady practices.

> This law doesn't go after individuals who upload infringing content, rather it goes after the platform itself.

Be careful. That's not what the law actually says. It doesn't mention "platform".

The term used is "digital transmission service", which is defined in terms of the undefined term "service". Perhaps there is some established narrow legal definition of the term "service" that will keep this law from being abused? Let's all hope so!

If I send you a signed message from a trusted key, your "audit trail" is to save that message. Super simple. And if I have a message ID in each you could even show that there aren't any missed messages, if you wanted.

A blockchain is just an incredibly inefficient way to store those messages, giving them an explicit ordering in case they don't have internal IDs, and to establish ordering between users. All of that can be done with a simple 'index server' that doles out ordered message IDs, without the blocks, the mining, etc.

Banks don't even need the currency. Banks just settle their debts in their local currency and they trust enforcement to the courts and bailiffs. This is what Ripple had right, in the beginning. They only need a messaging layer.
The Norwegian city of Tromsø has just 70k people, and a whole network of underground tunnels with two roundabouts.

> and now it's suddenly a new technology/approach

I don't think I've ever seen DHH or the Basecamp crew advertise any of this type of stuff as some groundbreaking new approach that nobody has ever tried before. On the contrary, I usually see them talking about how those old ways of doing web development were actually better in many ways, which is why they're pushing to move away from the current "everything is an SPA" approach.

And all this new tooling makes the experience much better than it ever was in the past.

If you have two sides at the table, then the 'correct' side should be able to articulate how their point is correct.

Here is where I am coming from: NPR used to have a great show (Diane Rehm) where she would get both sides of a hot topic and through great moderation allow both to speak and then to debate the issues. More times than I could count the first person would speak and I would think "Wow, this person has a rock solid argument" and then the second person would speak and tear it all down. I would sit there stunned thinking "I would have been so mis-informed if I had only heard the first person in a vacuum."

When something is still an active topic, it's extremely important to have all the sides at the table.
It's attached to a COVID stimulus. Its odds of passing are much higher.
> Educational environment is not a "real life"

I very much agree with this point. I think the messaging that is being handed to students is very different than what happens in professional settings. Students are often given the message that they are on their own and if something is not achievable it is their own fault, with consequences being their own. There are very little outlets for students to ask for help, or changes in school workload. I have seen the cause of too much work to do and too little time with no feedback from professors as causing this kind of widespread cheating.

Once you reach a professional environment with high risk (note, I have not been in the military but have worked on national defense aerospace programs) the messaging becomes if you are unsure of something or feel pressured to let something give you MUST ask for help or changes because the consequences are not your own and can be very widespread.

Edit: grammar
>I'm afraid that the radius, not the diameter

Yes: the quantity calculated is the smallest separation two objects can have before they blur together (by the Raleigh criterion).

According to the standard notion of lp/mm, there is no need to halve the reciprocal of this quantity to get lp/mm. See e.g. the table on p.14 here: https://zenodo.org/record/3518178/files/Verhoeven%202019%20-... An airy disc of ~2um radius translates to ~500 lp/mm. The following page also agrees with this usage, as does every other source I can find at the moment. http://www.normankoren.com/Tutorials/MTF1A.html

I think you are basically out by a factor of 4 by using the diameter instead of the radius and requiring line quads rather than line pairs. I believe the lp/mm value obtained is for ~9% MTF, so it's a fairly generous estimate of the available resolution, but not excessively so.

Regardless of the correct definition of lp/mm, the iPhone has plenty of room to increase the sensor resolution at f1.6. And phone cameras could certainly move to somewhat wider apertures and somewhat larger sensors.
In my personal bubble, people whose wealth was inherited from previous generations, are not considered successful. The very word "success" implies the previous effort to reach something, gain something etc.

Do you anecdotally know someone who said "John is a son of a magnate who does nothing all day, he is so successful"?

There is a different situation when the successor generation multiplies the wealth, but that already takes some effort and good judgment.

I've found that the answer to this is simple, and may be broadly applied to any bad actor in the gaming industry: They make games people want to play.

This isn't even (remotely) limited to people who don't read the news stories. I have personally spoken with scores of people who will (for example) express displeasure over Ubisoft's culture of sexual abuse, and not blink an eye when it came time to purchase Assassain's Creed: Valhalla. Or of Rockstar's culture of abusive crunch and equally abusive Twitter presence while buying premium versions of TLOU2.

So long as they pump out decent-to-good games, no amount of bad press will impact the number of games (and microtransactions) purchased. And sadly even bad games won't dent their reputation that much, especially if followed up by a good game again.

Bioware, as an example, is being lauded in the press and by gamers in general again because they announced that they're making another Mass Effect game. There's very little hesitation before gushing about it, even given ME: Andromeda and Anthem.

Even the press releases about The Witcher 4 are filled with praise for a company that just released a turd of a game (though you'll still find plenty of people who heap praise upon CP2077 because they have the blessed combination of PC components).
Also from the article:

These companies were subsequently warned of an imminent ransomware attack against their systems, allowing them to take measures to protect themselves against such an attack.

What do you think the ethical consequences will be? Genuinely curious, because I don't really see what they would be, or why there would be any. At least not compared to something like e.g. creating an actual artificial intelligence, and then needing to decide if it has rights, and what kind and so on. Creating a novel type of microorganism out of non-living components doesn't really seem to come with the same kind of can of worms, but maybe I'm overlooking something?
Engaging PIs to contact reverse engineers/"hackers" is a reasonably common approach in the gaming industry, not just regarding hardware, but also software modifications/cheating/some forms of modding.

I'm not fond of explaining the cause behind ancient forces or being subjugated by nature. Stars do that because it's easiest for our local thermal system. If you think we're insignificant, don't be horrified by particle beams in orbit around the Earth or the Sun, providing some form of local state, reducing our stellar system to a matter wave and the universe as its interference pattern.

Pretty soon, we might not have a choice. Blow up an incoming asteroid with the Sun like tinfoil in the microwave. Send some awful tumor far away from the observable universe. Heat your home by making everything that could ever exist say a once cold distant dark region of space is now a burning hot galaxy out of nothing. Make space travel more about manipulating the traveler than anything.
Gotta love Nintendo's hustler attitude. They don't screw around.
Yeah I think they’d sell instantly.

I looked all over for one and it doesn’t exist. The mirrorless camera solution sucks because there’s not an obvious winner there either (and you usually need a capture card/camlink to convert the output from the camera).

The room scale ones like the LG meetup are overpriced and generally awful, the PTZ versions from them are even more expensive, use proprietary connectors for the mics and require a host of unnecessary external boxes.

The Facebook portal TV is a great product for most people, but I just want something like that I can plug into a PC.

There’s a vacuum in this market. The current options are either low quality, overpriced enterprise stuff or dealing with the hassle of a mirror less cam setup.
The investment was at a $1 million valuation and the company currently has 40k cash + allegedly, the possibility of 60k/year from ads. Unless there is significant growth potential, the net present value of the company is much less than $1 million.
If I were to guess: The SEC considers Bitcoin to be a currency. Intermediaries handling currency transactions are subject to "Know Your Customer" laws, and need to get various identifying information from the parties whose currency they're transmitting. Lightning network nodes don't collect such information. Therefore, the Lightning network node operators are in violation of US law.

I'm no expert though, there may be other SEC rules that are more relevant.
This just isn't true. QR codes have a high degree of redundancy built into them via error correcting codes. For example there is the famous case of a bitcoin private key being recovered from a small amount of a qr code and a blurry shot of the full one[0].

The analysis is very good on the article until the conclusion, which ignores all the data.

It sets facts that there is no product in the market, there is A: "I do not care about anything, so I will buy a webcam" and B: "i care a little so i will spend $1000 instead of $300 on a phone with a integrated good camera" and C: "i will spend $10k on a DSLR and use as a webcam"

Then it measures the market size for A and ignores B and C, which are the actual market they will sell to!

How would you define genetic material? I think some kind of movement and a metabolism can already be called alive. It's not so much about the material but rather the interaction between the materials that gives rise to behavior and then natural selection.
Yeah technically it's not point free. But technically nothing can truly be point free just like nothing can ever be truly purely functional.

In purely functional programming your IO and state has to live somewhere just like how your points in point free programming still have to exist on the function call.

A function that takes multiple arguments introduces extra points to your program similar to introducing extra IO calls to your purely functional program. These points are inevitable additions to your program. The philosophy remains point free however.

Another way to think about it is that every parameter in a point free program is tied to a point somewhere up the pipeline. If you introduce a function with multiple arguments, that extra argument will still need to be tied to a point either right now or up some other pipeline.

So either you curry in a point into that extra parameter or you curry in the result of another pipeline.

A good way to think of the point free style is a series of pipes flowing in one direction, from left to right. All pipes segments must be eventually connected to a source and eventually flow to an output.

A function with 2 parameters is a T junction within this system with 2 inflows and one outflow. No matter how you configure your network of pipes; points need to live to the at the source and output of this network either as IO or actual state. There is no "point" in creating a network of pipes that isn't connected to a source and an output.

When you introduce a new T junction into this network of pipes, you will inevitably need to connect these inflows to points at the source of the pipe network. There's no way around it.

YouTube restricted video featuring competition
Some years ago I have uploaded a video featuring some VOD platforms available on the market (like Netflix). It gained an impressive number of 170 views.

Yesterday I have received an email that the video is now age restricted, and is not visible for not-registered users.

The video does not contain content not appropriate for children.

Appeal was rejected immediately.

It is interesting, that a video featuring YouTube competitors that no one really watched for years is blocked out of nowhere without a valid reason.

I am curious if anyone else noticed such actions.
When this happened to me at a previous job, I immediately started looking for a new one.

So, how many bad investments did you have?

When investing in a corporation, there is no guarantee that you will gain profit from it, you can even lose your entire investment.

If you were a long-term Nokia shareholder, you would have lost a lot of money since, say, 2005.

When you invest, you put the value of your previous work at stake. You can retroactively sink your work (= money that you earned from it) into a black hole.
Totally agree with you, I'm also in software partly for this reason

In the UK the typical work day is 7 hours (9-5pm with an hour unpaid break). I'll be honest though, I've had a few people ask me this same question, so the name may change pre-launch
> This is just politispeak for quid-pro-quo.

Yes, compromise and quid-pro-quo are the same thing. So what?

> If conglomerate bills are outlawed then maybe we can vote on issues instead of on whether everyone's back is sufficiently scratched.

You are voting on issues either way, and, cynically, voting on whether everyone's back is sufficiently scratched, either way. A single subject rule, such as is in place in the California legislature and several other state legislatures, simply reduces scope within which compromise can occur (or, alternatively, just makes the legislative compromises more complex and opaque as mechanisms are found to obey the technical requirements of the rule while evading its substantive intent, such as building in contingencies in one bill that are triggered by the passage or not of another bill.)

Quid-pro-quo isn't the problem, being able to trade-off across issues is a good thing.

The problem is legislators serving powerful narrow interests rather than the broad public interest, but narrowing the permitted scope of individual enactments doesn't do anything to help that.
Studies have shown that high levels of micro plastics can cause neurotoxicity in fish [1] which I'm surprised no one else is mentioning. It seems that nano plastics might even be more concerning seeing that they can pass the blood brain barrier [2].

This can be summarized as

"It's better to repeat yourself than use the wrong abstraction."

It happens often in the attempt to be DRY we add a parameter or some condition to handle a new variation to what seems like a universal logical construct in the code. Do this enough times and the code is no longer comprehensible to any of the people who wrote each variation, let alone a newcommer. We mistake some commonalities with a universality. We become zealots.
