To add to this, I2C is more common between a controller and 'slaves' which are architecturally simpler, for instance single output sensors often have I2C as their comms interface.

CAN is really meant for distributed embedded systems where you are having to implement full blown communication between equally complex nodes.

CAN is indeed much more robust both at a physical layer with a differential line and at a transfer layer with all sorts of error detection and mitigation mechanisms.
There's a lot of evidence that old money is bad, I don't think there's any that says it's better than new money
> But isn't that because of a regulation rather than because of the market?

Yes. Sorry, that was what I was trying to convey. The 'market' brought us incandescent bulbs that were purpose built to fail much earlier . The market brought us LED bulbs that overdrive fewer LEDs resulting in them burning out and running less efficiently.

Dubai, in essence, went the regulation road and has longer-lasting more-efficient bulbs because of it.
Ah, that's interesting, thanks for mentioning it. That's pretty much what I mean, but on arbitrary file descriptors instead of files.

I agree that both ends need to be aware of these extra formats to make use of them, but just like with clipboards, programs could always fall back to pretending only text/plain exists :)
most common practice I've seen at least with typical arduino/rpi sensors is fixed address for the same chip, sometimes you can change one or two bits so you can have two/four of the same kind in the same bus, sometimes you have address conflicts with similar devices from the same manufacturer (e.g. bosch bme680, bme280 and bmp180).

He's comparing the zealotry they're displaying which is similar to Protestantism. It's not saying they are Protestants. I think you missed the metaphor. There's most certainly a cult-like religious element that's being displayed in silicon valley right now. That innate human behavior isn't relegated to old Abrahamic religions. People will get drawn into "worshiping" different things and there's a very specific "God" being worshipped by these companies.
That's because you're putting the landlord to a lot of unexpected effort and expense which he was expecting to amortize over the full term of the lease. Are you saying something similar applies here?
I studied SPARQL in university, about 10 years ago. I checked on it recently and found out nothing has changed. Needless to say, I am not hopeful about its feature.
One of the best satirical articles on SV I’ve ever read[0] nailed this exact subject perfectly:

> Having figured out a font and mastered Altman’s Ratio, your next step is to find something to say. For outsiders this can seem daunting, but it’s very easy, since every one of Silicon Valley’s self-styled radicals thinks exactly the same way. In fact, when you study their output carefully, you’ll find endless variations on the same three ideas:

> Free speech is under attack.

> A wealth tax is a bad idea.

> To beat China, America must not become France.

What's odd is that you've chosen to look up income inequality as opposed to the clearly stated wealth inequality as though they mean the same thing.
The last I checked, the sun was rather abundant in stored energy, and quite good at releasing some of it.

It's 'simply' a case of capturing it.

Many panels are made in China. Not a place really known for it's uninvolved government, from what I hear.

The whole 'it's all powered by fossil fuels' argument is a bit old now, and was only really valid becuase so much of the energy mix was in fact fossil. As we switch, the argument increasingly no longer holds.
“The growth of the Internet will slow drastically, as the flaw in ‘Metcalfe’s law’ — which states that the number of potential connections in a network is proportional to the square of the number of participants — becomes apparent: most people have nothing to say to each other! By 2005 or so, it will become clear that the Internet’s impact on the economy has been no greater than the fax machine’s.” — Paul Krugman
Their argument (and to be clear, how much I agree with it depends on the nature of the product/service, and the amount), is that your subscription had an intended duration, and was priced accordingly, and that you received discounts from the "on-demand" pricing that you would otherwise not have been entitled to.

... works only in an ideal world where nothing changes, i.e. where software written once is so good that you don't need to touch it.

In reality though, what happens to successful software projects is that once the management and the customers see that it works and is good enough they always, always start to request more features. In fact in the minds of managers adding a feature is just adding a feature, should be easy right? Well no, a lot of the times it's not. Too often adding features affects some core abstractions in the code in such ways known only to the developers that adds technical debt.

Yea, but that's not a "farming" or "meat" problem. That's a human problem. A well known one for a long time at that. If everyone owns it, no one takes care of it. Someone has to be responsible and thus, manage it. There are people who will always abuse a system because they simply don't care. The same as people litter. Pretending to be surprised and blaming anything else is fruitless. "Well, it's the bag's fault for existing, that's why there's trash." or "It's the consumption of meat's fault that the land was stripped bare". No, an asshole did it. An asshole is responsible. Hold particular humans responsible for their personal actions. Don't blame someone or something else.
I worked for a number of years on making invisible fiducials that can appear only in infrared, and am one of the chief inventors on 3M's smart code. The idea was that on any retroreflective surface you can place this fiducial sticker and relay some information. We were originally looking at approximately 64 bits of information. This isn't a ton, but we thought it a good balance of error correction, and module (the pixels in the code) size.

At least from an IR perspective, it was generally loved by nearly everyone we spoke to, but there was no takers in the end due to the IR requirement and such cameras not being everywhere yet.

Here is a link to some of our first work. That picture of a stop sign is our first prototype with hand cut special film.

The pull-up resistor allows I2C to have multiple masters on the same bus. A master take control of the bus by pulling either sck or sda low (can't remember which) and if other masters detect a low voltage when it expects a high it knows the bus is currently taken. SPI only has one active master on the bus at a time, so there's no need for pullup resistors to implement this arbitration mechanism. SPI masters just drive their bus lines using push-pull outputs.
Statistics, most likely. (And yes, they do.)
You can keep repeating the claim, but I just explained why it's the opposite.
I think the thing I've seen that's the hardest to detect is reflections on the falling edge of scl double clocking. It's been a long time since I've seen it maybe more modern controllers slew rate limit the falling edge. But definitely the i2c device at the end of a long cable is not a great idea.

That would maybe work for the drug cartels (assuming they haven't diversified their business model off of drugs into other criminal enterprises by now). But then you're still left with all the non-drug related criminal activity under which money laundering is commonplace.

This is almost the meta-plot from most of the Dune series.
This is a nice breakdown, however it is leaving out one interesting piece: Active slew rate controllers.

In some cases where you need to exceed the typically allowed bus capacitance either due to a high number of attached devices, or over a long cable run (it happens...it sucks, but it happens), you can use a part like the LTC4311 which, rather than using resistors to passively pull the bus lines to a resting high state, detects the direction changes and actively assists in pulling the lines to their intended states.

First, the Titanic sunk in 1912.
Second, these are two events that happened around the same time. That does not mean they are at all related. Titanic primarily carried American and British passengers. The start of World War I primarily involved Austria, Serbia, Germany, and Russia. It's hard to see how British or American Millionaires would have influenced those events to stop the war.
If you're in a situation where you would need alternative ways to feed current population levels then foraging will be required even if it's not enough on it's own. It's a matter of adding whatever can be added to the total pool of resources, and not about finding a single source.

Post WWII, didn't just forage, they also rationed food, bred rabbits in parks, went fishing, planted potatoes in their backyards and so on. If any of those options hadn't been available things would have been much worse.
Yes, I understand your point. But in my writing I was a bit pedantic in defining that you only take debt deliberately and with a repayment plan.

If you build something properly (ie you did not deliberately made a choice of taking a shortcut), and it ages badly I called it Tech rot.

One big issue i have with this article is that it states:

"Paul paints a rosy picture but doesn't mention that incomes for lower and middle-class families have fallen since the 80s."

And then goes on to present wealth charts.

However, wealth =! income.

The pew research source of data which is here:
https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2013/02/21/appendi...

Points to this article from the fed:
https://www.federalreserve.gov/econres/notes/feds-notes/weal...

which defines wealth = "difference between the market value of assets owned by a family and the amount owed in debts..."

OR restated succinctly, household assets - liabilities.

The definition from the fed says nothing on income.

Now that we can state the problem the author has cited is regarding wealth inequality, let's talk about it.

One would expect wealth inequality to keep growing, perhaps infinitely, since the people earning income to buy more wealth (w2s , 1099s) have to contend with a continuously depreciating currency, which is not a problem for longtime wealth holders.

Inflation alone does not hurt stocks, real estate owners, etc. It hurts pensioners and labor directly, though.
This exists in Vancouver. Unfortunately, the richest people once again find ways out of it, such as claiming the unit is uninhabitable due to renovation, and proceeding with the slowest and most inefficient renovation process imaginable.

What would I do if people said I was causing harm to others? I would first figure out if that were true. And if I were, I would find some way to stop harming others. That might involved learning new techniques for self control or rethinking my choices on what I identify with.

I don't have a right to harm others. If I am, I should change. Why is that hard for some people to figure out?

All they want to build are large mcMansions and 'luxury' apartments, because that's where the profit margins are. There are in fact, lots of people out there who are perfectly willing to live in smaller, cheaper homes, but they simply aren't built anymore. Anyone who wants this has to go buy a little house from the 50's or 60's.
I moved to Europe (Scotland) about 10 years ago, and prior to that lived most of my life in China and the USA. One thing that struck me is that in both China and the USA, the idea of a war close to home is not a thing. Nobody considers it to be a remote possibility, and it isn't. There is simply no entity who can project enough power to mess with either of those countries for a sustained period of time on their home turf.

It's different in Europe - the UK seems to be the least conscious of the possibility of war but the farther east you go, the more it's on people's minds.

I've been to Poland a few times now, and each visit through chatting with randoms in a bar or pub (and through chatting with a number of Polish friends here in the UK) I had a similar experience: there would be a point where someone would casually remark that they're just spending time concentrating on keeping fit (aerobic and weight lifting) because "the next war is coming."

Poland of course has particularly horrible geographical luck and an extremely war-torn past to reckon with, but I was really struck with this idea that anecdotally many folks seemed to be living under the perception that the next war is coming, and we all need to be prepared. I've had similar but less extreme and consistent conversations with folks in Romania, for example.

I'm not really sure what there is to learn here, apart from the fact that the EU has been a phenomenal success in its real purpose - keeping the peace in Europe. Just look at this list of wars in Europe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_conflicts_in_Europe

Is the world getting safer? I think so. Is the risk of large scale war like France is planning for decreasing? I hope so. But we are on very new footing in terms of this being the new normal, despite what it might feel like, and this perception certainly differs based on how close to perceived threats you might live.

You claimed light bulbs were just fine when the gov regulations came in. They weren't. It would be nice if you would admit it instead of just misdirecting the conversation.

But to reply to your misdirection, the integrated LED bulbs are downwind from the government regulation, which was propped up by lies from people like you who claimed that LED bulbs would last functionally forever.

Edit: Somebody also claimed that the new gas cans are just fine. I think you guys are just gaslighting me. I'm out.
Doesn't seem too out of the ordinary. NATO did a similar thing a few years back on the Russian border. It's basically a mixture of sabre-rattling and getting the cobwebs out of the military in terms of logistics, planning and communication.
Honestly, not so much. Perhaps it did before. It isn't great, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it a dark pattern.

It does list the "Best Value" plan, but when you go to "Buy", it presents a shopping cart with the following text (no fine print, no other tricks), and even uses the word "commitment":

"Commitment:

Annual plan, paid monthly: US$52.99/mo."

Even at that point, the above is in a drop-down, and you can change it to "Annual plan, pre-paid", or "Monthly plan".
That's what I don't understand. How could you possibly exchange crypto for fiat in a completely safe/foolproof way?

The person gives you fiat, you can say no. You send the person crypto first, they say no. Because it's not physical, there's no way to wrestle it from the person or whatever...

Inventory management is hard, and one of the main tasks of Supply Chain Management. In the end, I have yet to see a formula, algorithm or model that calculates stock levels that isn't over shooting at a factor of 2, either way.

In the end, it is the tram and person responsible for inventory planning and placing production / purchase orders that set, directly and indirectly, inventory levels. In some cases 2 months maybe just right. In other cases it maybe 1 month to much, in again other cases not close to enough. And that can change over time.

As a rule of thumb, you don't want inventory. It makes an operation inflexible and fat. You need it so. Figuring that out is the task planners and supply chain managers. Some orgs are better at that then others.

I used to view things exactly like you did. I was a big Bitcoin user as well. I read Treasury's War and it sickened me. AML is indeed a parallel quasi-judicial system except without the good bits of the actual judicial system, and poses many civil liberties concerns.

However, I learned with time that it's not as ineffective as it looks. Governments around the world have adopted AML laws, and with less pressure from the US than is commonly believed. They aren't all stupid. These laws are not a total failure and do raise the bar for organised crime significantly.

If you look at the stories of some of the world's highest profile crime lords, they do in fact struggle significantly to launder their money, often in ways that make it appear unclear what their planned end-game was (perhaps they didn't have one). Here are two examples:

1. Ross Ulbricht, poster child of the AML-free world. Ran a major drug market online. When
arrested he was Bitcoin-rich and dollar poor, living like a student in San Francisco. He had been able to convert very little of his gains into real-world wealth that a crime lord might want, like houses, planes, boats, or whatever it is people plan to do with the proceeds of crime.

2. Paul le Roux. A much more successful gang leader than Ulbricht, yet when finally captured it was discovered most of his wealth was in the form of balls of precious metals under guard. He lived in fear of his guards turning on him and stealing his wealth. IIRC there was some evidence this happened, and he reached a point where he couldn't physically reach the safe houses anyway. Again, although powerful, he was not actually living the high life in the ways that might make doing such crimes attractive to most people. And there is no really good way to convert large amounts of precious metals into more useful forms of wealth without attracting a great deal of attention.

Money laundering is like any form of crime fighting. It raises the bar. Ransomware exploded after cryptocurrency came on the scene because cryptocurrency makes AML much harder. You didn't see people regularly being held to ransom via PayPal, did you? In fact blackmail/extortion for physical cash is quite rare because obtaining the money always involves walking into a police trap. One of the many reasons I eventually got tired of the Bitcoin community was their absolute and total refusal to consider the physical safety issue: having lots of crypto just is not safe, in the sense that kidnapping your wife or kids to extract the coins from you is an actually viable strategy, whereas trying to extract money from a rich guy via a credit card or wire transfer is just a joke, it will never happen. You'd be caught immediately.
>"Technical Debt" is this level of crummy metaphor. I love Cunningham's original definition. Do your best to model the business problem with the understanding you have. Later, pay down that debt by refactoring.

I on the other hand hate Cunningham's original definition because the metaphor maps badly, debt is not something that is poorly understand that becomes clearer the more information you have. Maybe that would be Technical Risk.

Your second example:

>"That choice will severely limit our capabilities in the future, and be incredibly hard to change."

>"I'm willing to take on some tech debt to prioritize shipping."

is a better metaphor because debt is the thing you take on that you need to pay off later with some knowledge of what level of debt you have. That said it's still sort of bad because debt would be nice to have sort of a ball park estimate of how much must be paid to get rid of it. If you don't have that estimate to go on it's beyond technical debt, and maybe more like technical favor owed to the mob.
Personally I think the concept of Technical Debt is more obfuscation than it is really valuable. I know that there is a whole cottage industry of people helping organizations deal with it, but so be it.

To clarify my position I wrote this article below. One aspect is the fact that circumstances and thus requirements may change. This is not a misunderstanding or tech debt. This is just what it is, no need for any metaphors.
