Actually, modern vehicle manufacturing is mostly bottle-necked on software and much of the added value comes via software powered by hardware accelerated machine learning. So performance matters, a lot.

Legacy car manufacturers are basically playing catch up with the likes of Tesla (doing their own chips) or Waymo (nvidia, I believe) to fix their supply chain to not have dozens of poorly integrated black boxes so they can actually update them in a sane way. E.g. VW has been struggling in the last year to get that working with the ID3. They are working with Infineon on chips for this apparently. Other manufacturers are facing similar challenges and are getting there with various levels of success. E.g. if you want to update your Kia EV, you need to go to the dealer.

So, the market opportunity for Intel is making performant SOC aimed at these manufacturers that can keep up with the market leaders and can be used while they figure out to get from level 2/3 autonomy to level 5.

There probably is a market for dumb EVs as well without much intelligence but that also implies low margins. Anything ICE is basically what it is at this point. R&D is basically limited to milking those legacy product lines until they are eventually shut down. So that's not a good market for Intel either.

There are plenty of low margin/low performance manufacturers where Intel stands no chance of ramping up to volumes of sales that would compensate for the low margins. So, high end EV manufacturers with some ambitions on the autonomous driving front is the market for this. Anything else does not make sense for Intel.

The only question is if they keep on insisting on x86. IMHO if they do, they are going to fail, again. Like they failed in the mobile market. The right moment to start targeting this market was 10 to 5 years ago. They are already late.
>Well, if you had to manufacture a simple Arduino in the US or Europe today, it would be impossible.

I think you have no idea what you're talking about. In Europe at least, there are plenty of fabs that make microcontrollers like the Arduino. And the original Arduino boards (w)are made in Italy which last I checked is still in Europe.

>Much as is the case for masks, the raw components needed to make such a product are not made in the US and Europe.

In Europe we have also plenty of factories making FFP2 masks (my favorite ones I can buy in Austria ATM come from a brand made in the Czech Republic).
Yeah, macOS doesn't have a readily available painting program by default. I've used some (Skitch and FireAlpaca for example) and none had the right level of features. jspaint.app really shines in that regard. (Or phrased differently, macOS really sucks in that regard.)

>That would require the GPs comment to be false

Their argument was an association fallacy regardless of the truth of the stated position. I mentioned Russia's poor record with liberal values, but that doesn't mean RT reporting this story means the topic isn't worth considering.
That was enlightening; now I also understand the need for NFTs.

As an ex-heroin addict, nah that’s too simplistic. We will find more money, some way some how instead. This is where more crime ends up happening, too (I never stole to support my addiction, but plenty around me did).

That, and there’s a lot more addicts and users who aren’t spending 100% of their income on it than you’d think. It’s extremely addictive, but it’s still not 100% addictive after all.
I feel we collectively misinterpret what the problem with single trader situations are.

There being a monopoly is not the problem, the problems are always anti trust behaviour i.e. not co-operating with the market for improvement, closing of competition by some behaviour that is not beneficial to the market.

Highly regulated markets tend to do this due the difficulty in disrupting such a market, you need to play by the existing rules and that leaves little room for manoeuvre against the incumbents, the incumbents are free from anti trust because the rules are set by the authorities, often at the behest of the incumbents of course.

That's why it's called money laundering. Laundries, along with cabs, bookies and casinos, provided a 100% legit company front that could easily bill for many small imaginary services that were paid in cash.

However, running a single legit company large enough to launder the proceedings of a large criminal enterprise is impossible these days. A big successful company with sufficient revenue to mask laundering would draw attention to itself just by existing.

My hunch echoes that of other commenters here. That is, it seems like many core libraries have been quite steady and "complete" for a while now, and many people are just using them today to get work done. That isn't to say the language ecosystem would have stagnated, however.

One interesting piece of data comes from Elixirforum.com, arguably the central hub for the Elixir community. In their recent MOTY update [1], they announced that "..to give you an idea of how far we’ve come and how fast Elixir has been growing, in the forum’s first year we served just over 1M pages for the entire year, now, we’re serving a million a month".

The official Elixir language site has also been steadily accumulating more and more case studies [2], which one might consider as sign of health in terms of Elixir being used in the industry. Obviously it's only the success stories being told, though.

Recent news regarding Nx [3], Livebook and Axon suggest there are new doors being opened for Elixir as a language in the AI/ML space. This expands what the language can be used for, and as such, could be considered as another sign of health and vibrancy in the ecosystem.

Looking at something like GitHut [4], it seems like Elixir has maintained a steady position on its rankings in terms of pull requests. This suggests that usage of the language hasn't declined in the recent past.

Lastly, the 10-year Dashbit blog post [5] by José might highlight some other development. While "development" is not synonymous with "health", I feel like the contents can suggest lack of death :)

Without picking any sides here, I think it is somewhat funny that both parties in the comments think the other party is indoctrinated by state propaganda about their own country...
> Comparing their asset balance with the market cap of its stock is complete nonsense

Eh, not really. They’re both stock (as opposed to flow) measures. And one is a subset of the other. That said, crypto as fraction of assets would be a more rigorous metric.
The price of those houses should be 10% of what it is, but the problem is banks own them and if they reduce the price then their numbers look red. They are artificially inflated housing prices to keep bank bonds from plummeting.
Still no answer to my question about definition of "access to wealth".

It's like "access to God", for what I know.
Yep, you export a lot of nice flowers and vegetables, and import a lot of meat.

This makes fine economic sense in the context of well-functioning system of global trade. But if that system were to shut down and you had to produce all that meat locally... it wouldn't work so well. And the flowers wouldn't make a good replacement.

If you are born poor it is extremely difficult to escape poverty, especially because of high taxes that you are going to experience as soon as your education and determination lands you a good job. This severely inhibits your means to save or to invest. The progressive taxation is like a back-stop to keep everyone in check and prevent people from going up the class ladder.
Meanwhile the rich, that are supposed to be the target of progressive tax, laugh and carry on paying very little.
It's not defeatist. First, we see more and more evidence that there's no democracy in the West, just a well decorated fake "democracy".

All important positions in government of USA are occupied by people from the oldest and wealthiest US families. Is it democracy? I doubt that.

There's no freedom of speech. Which we hear is "freedom" of speech, because censorship is performed by not government, but private entities like Facebook, Twitter, Google. Yeah, maybe formally it's not a censorship for some strict definition of the word, but de-facto it's censorship and it's stronger than censorship ever were in Russia.

Secondly, so-called "democracy" is weaponized by the West to oust regimes West doesn't like (e.g. that aren't willing to sell rights to exploit their natual resouces to Western corporations) or simply to bomb anyone they don't like. There's no need to explain anything: "We bombed Afghanistan because they have no democracy! Hooray!". "So, have people of Afghanistan started to live better after 20 years of bombing and killing?" - "You're banned from Facebook and Twitter for violating our TOS".

Sorry, I no longer believe in "democracy".
Before you are conceived, before you even become a zygote, who rolls the dice for which womb you'll end up in? Who decides whether you'll be in the womb of a Japanese mother, an American mother, or a Greek mother? Do we as individuals have any control over which country we are born in?

To pretend as if this is not pure chance (luck) is bonkers.
You have to love the irony of the centralization effects we are seeing with cryptocurrencies that pride themselves on being decentralized and beyond regulatory control of individual nations.

Coinbase's success not only reflects on the substantial amount of control that they exert. It also reflects on that of the U.S., which regulates Coinbase.
Aren't tax revisions in the local news?

Where I live (Poland), prices on shelves are displayed in full (more than that, there's the price you'll pay for an item and price per unit of mass/volume, to enable comparisons), but on the receipt, there's always a per-product sales tax summary printed. So if I cared about sales tax revisions, I could easily notice it on the receipt. But most of the time, I just learn about revisions from a news article.
> if customers are buying with cash, it seems pretty suspect for the bank to claim that is increasing the bank's risk exposure

Cash trades still expose brokers to volatility due to settlement.

This policy is likely one part regulatory theatre and one part customer selection. Customers buying MicroStrategy stock are unlikely to be lucrative customers for the banking products HSBC hocks.
Yes, but making otherwise 180nm+ chips on their still very advanced fabs would've been a disaster unless automotive's very , very fat margins.

It still shows the level of desperation there.
Orwell’s work on poverty is a treasure because he actually went and became a homeless person and a minimum wage slave to learn about the conditions of the poor.

Instead of reading Down and Out in Paris And London, PG is more likely to reread 1984 and use it to complain about getting cancelled on Clubhouse.
One word: Salesforce.
I (leftie) don't see growing wealth inequality necessarily as a problem; however, it does factor into which solutions are available for the problems I do care about. One of the problems I care about are the living conditions of those who are worst off. Despite economic growth, the conditions for these people have, depending on the area, barely improved, stagnated, or even deteriorated over the last decades in many wealthy nations.

The question then is: why does this happen, and how do we fix it? There are broadly speaking two options: either the economy is performing poorly and not generating enough wealth for everyone to thrive, or it is generating enough wealth, but the spoils are being distributed unequally. The fact that we have huge inequality points to us being in the second situation, and the solution is, accordingly, redistribution.

As an aside, I'm quite curious what you mean by "underlying issues".
im surprised stackoverflow readers would buy political pieces like that.

>deprived both of sleep and of medical care

Thats exactly what us is doing in its prisons. How is he deprived? How is it any different from what his foreign handlers do at home?

Was there a single article on torture Maria Butina had to endure in US prison?

shame cheap pieces like that show up here.
Yeah, but income and/or wealth inequality is a problem in itself, and that's what libertarians such as PG don't understand (or refuse to consider).

It doesn't matter if wealth acquisition was "fair" or "warranted".

It doesn't matter if the process that allowed wealth to be acquired resulted in a net gain for society.

When a group of people become incredibly more wealthy than the general population, their interests diverge and it breaks society apart.

It's even worse when said group is not diverse but is instead composed of just the same privileged people as it has always been.
I agree it really comes down to the individial situation.

However both points are kinda non issues due to our renting laws and the more or less standard contract around here. Getting kicked out only works with a reason, plus a prior notice from i think at least 3 months plus they are not allowed to increase the rent just for maintaining liveable conditions (i.e. repairs that have to be done).

But sure if you are willing to think and calculate in long terms (~30-50 years) buying often is the cheaper option. Yet comes with an additional workload (taxes, repairs, ...)
I think everybody agrees that showing awareness an issue exists and a willingness to change would have gone a long way to prevent the current situation.

The regret only grows. Now I'm torn between trying to explain the concept of imaginary scenarios where the scope is limited and crafting a statement with a hidden insult somewhere.

If this were a party conversation, imagine me walking away rolling my eyes and shaking my head...
"Particularly safe" is a bit alarmist, one could make the same argument about literally anything that connects to a public network isn't particularly safe
Releasing a Netflix documentary, stand by.
Two things I’ve noticed:

1. Price speculation. Owners are willing to take a loss each month assuming they will make it up on appreciation. This is very true for condos in Toronto for example. Rent is about $500-1000/month less than carrying costs of ownership.

2. Long-term ownership. Landlord bought the property for half the current market rate so carrying costs are way lower than if you’d bought today.
This data of jump in equality is often cited, but it's often left out that the majority of the people lifted out in poverty is from a country where they have a planned economy and gladly lock up or even execute the rich that do not cooperate with measures to stimulate wealth equality.

Cosori Air Fryer Max Review
The dark, biohacked heart of Silicon Valley
I understand where you are coming from, I can imagine if you read the media or browse twitter it can seem like a greedy and mean place. And that can be very off putting. People dont like the idea that money is being valued above all else. But to me it speaks more to the desperation that people are living under, that the thrill of maybe not being broke and in debt can be a great incentive for change in the world.

The people I know working (not trading, coding) in the space are some of the most committed and passionate and politically motivated people trying to develop new tools for coordination, to help people unionise, to create funding for public goods without coercive taxation, to represent peoples votes as a worldwide body rather than dividing along lines in the ground. It is a game of "can we organise ourselves better than those we compete with", the answer seems to be leaning towards yes. It is like the rochdale co-op movement spreading across mills in the industrial revolution, developing into workers unions, and left wing political parties challenging the aristocracy. It is a co-op, community ownership movement for internet workers.

I grew up going to protests, making my voice heard, voting for parties that never got voted in (cough in voting systems designed to never allow the thing that created them be replaced cough).
For once i have found a way to collaborate and coordinate with others in an effective manner. Maybe it is a niche thing, maybe it cant scale, maybe it's just a video game, but maybe it is incredibly revolutionary, inclusive, and an actual force to bring around a change of power. Maybe it is only just getting started.

I look at the money in my wallet on my desk, pieces of paper with pictures of an old lady on them with a printed signature of the head officer of the bank. It looks medieval, it doffs the cap to inherited wealth, it is secured by violence, it says authority is legitimacy and everything else is false.

How anyone thinks crypto is a scam and the future is in the old ways seems as delusional to me as they think i am...
> The tech itself is clearly useful in some applications

There have been 0 real world applications for this tech in 8 years outside financial crime, fraud, and speculation. A lot of the same conversations in 2013 ended with "yes but it's so early give it 5 years" and here we are still waiting for a decentralized app that's more useful to anyone than a plain old db.

Also disagree that fiat had any effect on mugging frequency. People with gold/silver coins likely got mugged at the same rate.
If there's one thing the traditional banking industry can understand, it's compound interest. Which is exponential growth.

What they have trouble with is exponential growth at very high rates, which nearly always implies very high risk.
It’s also ironic that the internet has been re-centralized by a handful of tech giants. But the fact that massive centralization exists, does not mean that individuals cannot choose to use decentralized tools. Crypto enthusiasts can be maximally decentralized, if they choose.
Not an expert in macroeconomics either, but in a perfect free market there shouldn't be a lot of difference between renting and buying: if you can get a 5% yearly return by renting out a house, then the person renting from you can probably also get a 5% yearly return by investing their freed-up capital elsewhere and/or by not having to pay interest. If renting is too expensive, you buy, and if buying is too expensive, you rent. If one kind of investment like land or housing turns out to be particularly lucrative, capital will flow towards that type of investment and drive down returns towards the average again. Companies rent and lease stuff all the time, even if they have the money to buy, because often it just makes more sense. So there has to be something to disturb that happy picture and benefit owners at the expense of renters: a wonky tax structure, speculation, rate of return on land consistently higher than for other asset classes, cultural norms that value homeownership, who knows. Ownership of multiple dwellings by the wealthy might play a role, but in itself it's not a sufficient condition for high housing prices.

(It would be different if the wealthy were buying these houses to live in them or to leave them empty, as that would increase demand and constrain supply. Happening in London, Vancouver and a bunch of other places, I think. Also sort of like what happened with the quinoa fad: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quinoa#Effects_of_rising_deman...)
The question is, does the tax matter so much it's worth putting it on every price sticker? I'd argue no - it's not like you can opt to not pay it. I assume your sales tax works like ours (Poland), i.e. per product/service category, so it's also not like you can buy a substitute product with lower tax.

I like the solution we have - price stickers have full price, and printed receipts carry tax breakdown.
TIL about postfix dereference in Perl: https://perldoc.perl.org/perlref#Postfix-Dereference-Syntax

One of advantages of Perl to me stable syntax - usually I can open code written by someone nowadays after not using Perl and not encounter any unknown language features. Turned out even in Perl there are new features you need to learn first before you can read the code, though compare to other languages it still easy to keep up with all new features.
I just learned about it for the first time in this post, but it sounds like that's what they're trying to do with Headless UI?
Beautiful. Maybe it's me but the 3N2P motor is really difficult to start.

What I find unfortunate is that when you change the frequency the commutation seems to reset/jump to the next cycle, which usually makes the motor jerk and stop. Is that a real property you're trying to model, or just a programming shortcut?
Then the economy will grow by providing more and better games, bread, and Netflix. You cannot stop economic growth (except violently) as long as you don't put a stop to humans learning stuff.

If you deposit the payment into an account that's not yours, that is where AML (and tax laws!) kick in. Are you simply giving a gift to that person? Are you buying something from them? Are you making a honest mistake?

The problem is not that a casino "makes a lot of money" suddenly. Sure, great for them. But then if that money starts to percolate into the other jurisdictions. For example the casino orders dry cleaning from a foreign company. The casino wire transfers the money, the cleaners send the receipts, but no actual cleaning happens (obviously).

And this is where banks come in, because they provide the wire transfer. And they are mandated to flag extremely successful dry cleaners and other providers, report it to various government agencies.

And ... it turns out that somehow they can't even do plausible deniability properly.
