I may be misremembering who exactly I spoke to, but I don't see what value your comment adds at all; it just seems dismissive. Anyone who read my comment and thought "Ha, this idiot thinks he can intern at Google and build Street View", should maybe slow their roll. My point is that I've met some people who I thought were neat and worked at Google, and that's inspiring. If you disagree with the premise of that, then idk what to tell you.
Can you imagine the political implications of the world trade being dependent on a river running through Iraq, Syria and Turkey. This is a nice scenario for alternative history folks. Those countries would be occupied since WW1 till now.

> Soon there might come a day when nobody actually takes the time to listen to an album from start to finish.

The "album" in general has long been an industry contrivance. Most musical acts would be much better served if singles and EPs were the most asked of them in terms of recordings. Because they're trying to fill "albums" (~44 min LPs or ~60 min CDs) there's tons of filler recorded all the time. Some is literal filler pulled from a fakebook and recorded just to put another track on an album.

Even with bands I love I can rarely make it through entire albums without skipping at least half the songs. I've been making playlists for decades (mix tapes, then CD-Rs, then iPod playlists). I'd much rather an artist release five good songs as an EP and sell it to me for five bucks. I'll bundle all the EPs together as an "album" if I want.
Yeah I disagree with his assertion that blockchain accuracy extends to NFTs or house ownership. Whilst the former is true in a very limited sense, there's nothing to stop you minting multiple NFTs relating to the same item. On the former, the original input owner is surely subject to potential inaccuracy.

Just about anybody that watches YouTube regularly knows what a VPN is. Even very mainstream, non-tech channels have been sponsored by VPN companies. It has died down a bit now, but it was insane for a while. A constant flow of sketchy VPN companies.

VPNs are heavily marketed to regular consumers these days. Mostly for region shifting or vague privacy/security benefits.
But do big enough trains exist? As in, is the container ship only 4x bigger than the train?
I have been learning Italian. Don’t slam me for this if it’s wrong I am a beginner. But there are a number of contexts in Italian to which lei (she) is used. One for polite and respectful use (such as a general in the army, regardless of gender) or if the person’s gender is unknown.

Just thought I’d throw that out there.
This is what happens when a charismatic leader of a tech company dies (2012). Who ever is running the company doesn't have the essence of what created iPod. Just mass consumerism now.

Ex-gamedev but I'm still in touch with lots of ex coworkers and friends in the industry and most say the same thing, somewhere between 'low productivity' and 'disaster'. Some of them meet up on their own without management knowledge.

Sales and marketing seem to work as usual though, just from homes. Obviously game sales skyrocketed over past year, so it is hard to reliably grade their performance.

One production team that started transition to remote work before pandemic reported no significant slowdown. They hired bunch of highly skilled multi-disciplinary contractors all over the world and let go most of their regular staff, but it is fairly small team so I don't think this approach can scale.

I'm not so sure, this uses electronics operating in THz range, and the crystals used are also likely vulnerable.

The commute sucks, luckily mines only 30 minutes but honestly after a year of this I'm now convinced video calls are half as productive as in person meetings and some people just never really engage at all in video calls when they used to working in person, not sure if they're consciously aware that they no longer provide useful input, they used to.

I've started going back into the office now for brainstorming because just being able to talk without latency and without only one person being able to talk at once the difference is just night and day, not to mention the casual non-meeting non-slack chats where ideas are born.

I think remote work is now something people will demand but I can't be the only person who's noticed the difference especially in creativity focused work and believe the end game within 2 years will be the people in the office will work on the interesting stuff and remote will work on fixing bugs. Which of course will trickle on to impact salary unfortunately.
Millions of people wake up every day with their credit cards in their hands. As the day goes they spend a little here and a little there. Sometimes they spend money for necessaries, sometimes for luxury and sometimes to make their life easier (i.e. save costs anywhere else)

If the average human makes like 3 transactions every day (just gussed) how hard can it really be to be the transaction for at least one of those millions of people.

What i am saying is it is very possible and not even to hard to earn some money.

A site that makes me a few hundred dollar a year compares a few glasses retailers and took a weekend to make (affiliate). Just dont stop, create services and at some point they will start to generate some money
I have been working remotely for decades.

Most people can't work remotely and productively because they are not trained to do so. E.g. You are in your office (inside your home) and your wife, your dog or child enters it demanding you do some kind of non important issue right now, distracting you from your work.You need to be trained to not them let them distract you. The people living in your house need to be trained as well on what to do.

The training for working in the(external) Office started at school, from a time fiber optics telecommunications were unheard for common mortals.

Most people feel alone because they lack the social skills to make friends outside work, or just lack the initiative, knowledge and internal motivation to work without external pressure and supervision.

The companies that will solve this issue at big scale in the future are those that solve it because the they have to in order to survive(against established companies). It will be a startup that faces all the risks involved, not an established company like Google or Facebook.

It will not be companies that could pay millions for people living in ultra expensive places and are already making big bucks doing that. They don't need to change because the system already works for them.
The fastest way to earn more money is probably to get a new job or do consulting on the side. Soccer betting is a terrible idea.
That's right! It really loved that little Amiga Basic program and studied how it made the church organ timbres (along with the plot lines).
Those things would be ok (there are unrelated reasons to be against free university for everyone, maybe, but whatever) but what you're talking about isn't what 'social justice advocates' want. In fact, many of them are against blind auditions, as they don't end up sometimes don't end up hiring people in the 'right' proportions, instead saying people should discriminate based on race (in the 'right' direction, of course.)
This is putting a bandaid on a rotten leg. What is needed is a way to stop businesses from calling you if you haven't given them permission. It is a huge problem in the US but it isn't like this everywhere. The underlying problems should be fixed instead: Laws that actually prevent this (enforced laws) and the opportunity to block non-local calls from places not as functional (like calls from the US).

I have had the same mobile phone number for decades and I get maybe one call a year from a business that I haven't specifically allowed or requested calling me and it is always international because local laws actually work.

From the article:

"However, Liu said that it is "economically unrealistic" for all countries to "onshore" additional chip production, warning that this could lead to more unprofitable capacity."

Well. The world is clearly not listening to that. So the question is how the business of chip manufactoring will look in 2 or 3 years?

I'm sorry, what ?!

I use SSH a lot every single day. Not once have I thought "sheesh, this is slow".

Before SSH became the default, I spent even more of my life on Telnet. Same again, never had a problem.

I also sometimes do console connections to switches and routers.

The only lagging I've ever seen in a terminal window is when I've been on the end of a poor internet connection !

And yes I've done it on 4k displays and multiple monitors and multiple terminals.

I've never observed any flicker either (and yes I use non-standard "modern" fonts).

I've never had problems with Microsoft Word or Notepad either !

I'm sorry but I fail to see why a terminal emulator needs the same power as Photoshop or your favourite game.

Frankly I would put a GPU-accelerated terminal emulator in the category of "product solving a problem that doesn't need to be solved".
> In an ideal world

Could just replace that with "in other countries".

Where I live my personal number is considered public and government will give it to anyone asking. Authentication is done using one time codes, certificates, identification cards and similar. Nothing stops a company from treating the personal number as some authentication factor but it would make no sense.
It's got control of the trim wheels, and it's plunging the aircraft to the ground with nonsense trim settings. Right?

Needing to consult the manual to disable that input is eh... not optimal.

They physically could not trim the aircraft, and even worse (as if), could not -trivially- prevent changes to that trim.

Should humans on the line have ultimate control of the surfaces or not? If so, how many steps through "complicated checklists" should be required to get control of a basic setting like trim?

The base issue is that it was even possible for the control of humans with hundreds of lives in their hands to be overridden by a set of predefined instructions.

I am an introvert and I am never going back to office. If I won't find work in a forward thinking company I'll do something else, but never in the office.
Because of the time gained by not communing, I was finally able to do my hobbies and researching my own business that hopefully I'll make happen next year.
Even if they wanted to pay for time spend on commute, no thank you.
I realised the time I would be losing is priceless. You won't ever have it.
If that means I'll earn less or nothing at all? So what, I'll be happier.
Also - we should start demanding that companies will pay for use of our homes as their office.
How come paying rent to some rich office owners is fine, but if a worker wants to be paid for use of his or hers home is not?
I'd suspect the results would be different, the fact a commute is forced puts your brain into the mode where you solve creative problems in the background without thinking about them. There are good reasons ideas come out of nowhere to you in the shower or on a bus.

That said I'd never ever have a 1+ hour commutes, 30 minutes is plenty but I have noticed a difference in inspiration this year and I put it down to this.
Can you give specific instances of this happening? I feel like offshoring tech jobs has been the bogeyman that has never delivered in our industry for a really long time.
Would be curious to hear what KPIs you're measuring that so consistently show a 66% drop across the board. Pretty impressive measurement...

Not to mention that rail seems like it'd be a lot easier and more feasible to electrify.

I wonder how far away we are from being able to build rail bridges (or underwater tunnels?) to enable circumnavigation by rail? I'm picturing two loops - one arctic, one antarctic - and tunnels connecting those loops to the Americas (Alaska/Canada and Chile/Argentina), Scandinavia, Siberia, maybe even South Africa and Australia. Seems like something that should be achievable within the next century given the current rate of technological progress.

It's a classic throughput v. latency problem. Ships are high throughput, high latency. Trains are low throughput, low latency.

That said, train throughput seems straightforward to address: build more rails.

Author here. I'm looking for ways to monetize this side project.

Currently I'm thinking about a prepaid solution instead of a monthly subscription. You would pay on a character basis until your paid amount is used up.

Any other ideas?
Yes, but that's an illusion to be believe that political games, nepotism etc would disappear without offices. That's just how working in a corporation is, sadly.
I've read part of the stories some time ago. What made me the most impression was how much the heroes of the stories spent in thinking and talking about cuckolding. Not sure if this is what the author means though.
For TSMC there's very little risk

This is because a newly competitive AMD takes up a ton of wafers. They can't make them fast enough, and in 2022 they are releasing a completely new platform with DDR 5 on 5nm, and presumably new GPU line.

This should again clobber Intel 10nm products. Even if there's no chip shortage, the customers of TSMC are very healthy (AMD, Apple, other phone manufacturers).
> why don't we see funding for this at a government level

Because America fell asleep at the wheel while Taiwan did not. TSMC and other Taiwanese chip manufacturers benefited from a government that saw the need to be a part of high value manufacturing. Meanwhile America of the 90s and 2000s assumed that it would be the most powerful country in perpetuity and so it wouldn't matter where something was being produced as long as they could pay for it.

The events of the 2010s has shown the flaws of this thinking. It is now possible for American firms to be cut off completely from semiconductor manufacturing, similar to how Huawei was cut off. There is now support from the American government to restore semiconductor manufacturing. They are footing a part of the bill for TSMC's new plant. I'm sure Intel's lobbyists are skilled enough to get part of their new plants paid for as well. China is doing the same - the state has deployed all it's resources behind SMIC to ensure that what happened to Huawei never happens again.

It's more complicated than this though. You don't just need semiconductor fabs, you also need rare earth metals, almost all of which is mined and refined in China. America is attempting to reshore this too (https://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/2021/03/31/g...)
Thats a charitable interpretation. But how do we distinguish when this is the reason and when the reason is "there is no data"? Why am I the only one who has to trust the upper management on their decision but they can look into mine and change it at any time they wish?

I've seen several stars who started their career in the late sixties, and I'd say everyone of their voices "sounded great" while also being considerably worse than their debut period.

You can be friendly without having to socialise. Not sure why those things would have to go together?
Doing socials after work is such a waste of time - sure it may be fun, but this way you are using up time that otherwise you could use to maintain friendships outside of work.
Socialising at work is when you develop unconscious and conscious biases and it is a breeding ground for a toxic atmosphere and disruption of team dynamics.
All you're saying is that you can spread the cost out over time. You also seem to think that companies with younger people will see a cost savings. What you're not accounting for with that is how insurance companies adjust individual premiums for risk - they will charge companies with younger workers more than companies older workers.
My understanding is that it generates parallel to the rgb information, a depth-map and segments encoded also in specific spectrum of colors. This removes the burden of heavy image processing (edge-detection, etc) which improves performance. The segments can be trained for classification.
> the techies inside unversities are horrendously underfunded. m365 at least will bring consistency and will probably also make your date more secure to third party actors.

True, but no reason to dig an even deeper hole.

> of course it would be possible to have everything open source. BUT with our current governement M365 is the best solution. the cdu sleeped for over 20 years to have a great open source solution. so it would be impossible to have something integrated ready within a short window, it would also blow a huge budget. the only thing you can be mad about is our government, the m365 is the best thing that could happen.

You're completely ignoring that I'm complaining about the move to the cloud, and the restrictiveness of the contract. Even just continuing the old contract and staying with offline-Office would have been better.

> btw. I hate the strange bashing against american companies, as if german companies are any better (they are not).

I never even hinted at this being about Microsoft being American. I don't want my University to upload my PII to "the cloud" so I can use Word in a Browser.

You're basically saying we shouldn't even be trying anymore. Why not shut down the CS departments of universities entirely and just hand out accounts to Skillshare et al., so those still interested in CS can learn from there? There's nothing left a University could offer that you can't access from there. Maybe a couple credits for the Azure cloud if you need to do something computationally intensive. Your University surely doesn't have anything left in-house for this anyways.
