That seems like a big loophole...
That's what it looks like to me, too. That's a terrible design. It's just the right height to suck a small pet under the machine and crush the animal.[1] Or a foot. Looks like Pelotron wanted a nice clean look, so they left the guards off. That looked nice in the Jetsons series in 1962.[1] But not in real life.

In industry, this is called an unguarded pinch point. Classic cause of injuries and amputations. It's an OSHA violation in an industrial operation.

Every other treadmill I've ever seen had substantial guarding around the pinch points.

OSHA: "1910.211(d)(44): 'Pinch point' means any point other than the point of operation at which it is possible for a part of the body to be caught between the moving parts of a press or auxiliary equipment, or between moving and stationary parts of a press or auxiliary equipment or between the material and moving part or parts of the press or auxiliary equipment."

1. Political commentary for a local newspaper. They pay reasonably well.
2. Popularization of science and technology for a few web outlets.
3. Books about interesting historical events, these are by far the most popular and earn me majority of my writing income.
4. I dabbled a bit in fiction, but long forms like novels seem to be out of reach for me. My strength is in shorter texts that can be written in an afternoon.
5. A free blog that comes with an e-shop where my books can be bought.

This is not how media bias works. What you're referring to is how propaganda works (well, one type anyway: Where you report the opposite of the truth in order to confuse people into thinking, "I don't know who to believe anymore").

> Asked for a response, a spokesperson for Peloton, Jessica Kleiman, told Insider that the company was "disappointed that CPSC is mischaracterizing the situation."

The hubris...

The only correct response would have been something along the lines of "we have no comment at this time."

The job is to communicate that you are aware of an issue, that you are investigating, and/or that you are cooperating. If you want to lobby for favorable treatment from regulators, hire an external lobbying firm to do it quietly, don't get into a public flame war with the CPSC.

How are PR/spokespeople for high profile companies still making these kind of amateur hour mistakes in 2021? Isn't the public record absolutely littered with comments like these that just made the company look worse?
Lots of discussion about collecting (and in seeking to own a complete set of stamps, coins etc) vs exploring. I wonder though if for most if the pleasure is in a combination of the two.

When I was very young I collected the stamps of my country - which I guess will be fairly common. Seeking out issues that I was missing was appealing and there was definitely a thrill in tracking down missing items.

At the same time I learned about history (albeit in a superficial way) both from knowing about the era in which the stamps were issued and, for more recent issues, from the topics depicted on the stamps. That knowledge seemed to stick too and more so than just from reading books. I guess I also learned a little about markets and scarcity.

I wonder if that knowledge would have stuck without the effort of seeking and the reward of finding and whether we have lost something in the ease of access to information today.
Everything is equivalent to proof-of-stake plus overhead. If you have the stake, you can show it in proof-of-stake, or you can buy mining hardware and burn electricity in POW, or you can buy storage and prove it via "plotting" (in Chia) in proof-of-capacity. Two of these require you to exchange stake for something else that you then dedicate to the system. Unless there's something in the protocol unique to non-proof-of-stake then it's comparatively wasteful.

I'm not really sure what to make of that. On one hand, yes, more and more things are being done in browsers, and possibly on phones, which in theory de-emphasizes the importance of x86 and Windows.

On the other hand, especially when it comes to laptop market share diminishing, I don't even know how many times and over how many years I've heard people say that laptops will become obsolete because of phones.

Hasn't happened, at least for people who use their devices for almost any kind of work. For finding a repair shop for whatever you need repaired? Sure, most people will probably use their phone for that, and people who only need an internet device for things like that might not bother with more than a phone. Writing a report or a plan? Not so much.

I honestly don't think the market for laptops is going to diminish that much when jobs become more and more white-collar.

With Apple's non-negligible market share and their using a different CPU architecture, combined with the emphasis on web and browsers, x86 will probably become less of a de facto standard. But it would take a lot to topple the inertia of Windows in the consumer on non-tech work market.

Writing a technical book is a nice experience if you feel confident. If you have the passion and dedication to write, it'll be a journey with the "side-effect" of earning exposure and if you're lucky, also money. But you should not write a technical book for money (set as the first goal).

Marketing a book, especially a technical one, is difficult and requires time. Since most of the times it's suitable for a niche, you have to look for people and to explain why reading your book would be worth it. Does it contain any special feature that makes it unique? A particular focus? A well-written introduction?

I'd like to discuss about the points you marked. "The best way to start a book is writing". When you have the inspiration of writing, it seems "you do not have to think too much about details, a possible outline". It's partially correct and wrong. On one hand, to publish a book, you need content and what's the best way to create content? Yes, it's writing! On the other hand, people are not looking at your book for "content", BUT for highly quality content. Thus, not only you have to write the content, you have also to think about the structure, the outline, the key-points, and many others element that keeps the reader "on" your book.

>> The learning curve for Linux was larger than Windows or MacOS, but I only learned the truth. By cutting away abstraction, I can actually understand what my system is doing, and be a better citizen of my operating system. Linux is arranged masterfully, and makes the Windows filesystem look like a joke in comparison.

What windows filesystem (FAT, FAT32, exFAT, NTFS) look like a joke and compared to which Linux filesystem?
Ext2? Ext3? Ext4? ReiserFS? ZFS?
It’s pretty clear that you never used Linux in the 90’s from your comment.
And the main problem with Linux at the time had nothing to do with the filesystem but mainly with the immaturity of the complete system.
I am very curious to understand what great truth you understood by using Linux.

You're absolutely right. I always support any effort to fight these laws. I just don't think they're likely to succeed.

> we ALSO need to fight for more sane copyright rules

I don't think there will ever be "sane" copyright rules. Copyright itself is insane. It was sane before computers existed. Back then you had to be a major industry player in order to infringe copyright at scale. You had to own things like printing presses. Now copying data is trivial. All software has access to a memcpy function. All you need to do to copy files is hold down Ctrl + V until your hard drive is completely filled with copies. It's trivial to send these copies to anyone over the internet or sneakernet.

Copyright is insane and utterly incompatible with the era of information and computers. I hope it's abolished within my lifetime.

> and if the tech can't be stopped without outlawing general purpose computing, they might outlaw general purpose computing before they admit defeat

This is a given in my opinion. The copyright battle is really a battle for computing freedom. It's our computers, if we want to copy data it's our choice and nobody cares about some made up copyright monopoly. The computer obeys us. The only way they can possibly enforce copyright is by making it so computers obey them instead. This will destroy free software and free computing as we know it today. I'd rather the entire copyright industry goes bankrupt than lose that.

It's not just copyright either. Governments the world over have an obvious interest in controlling computers because of cryptography. It used to be a military tool and because of computers it became democratized, widely available and used by every citizen. Cryptography can defeat governments, militaries, judges... It's subversive technology. They think it's too powerful for mere citizens to have access to.
My bet is they're giving dell a much better price and dell makes more money off those systems making it an incentive instead of pressure.

Intel fabbing their own chips gives them a lot more room for profit than amd in the end price - basically you could give the equivalent of half tsmc's cut to an OEM and still make more money than amd per chip.
> How does an anarcho-capitalist deal with issues like village commons, natural monopolies, winner-take-all business models, national borders, etc?

The general answer is, by mutual agreement among the affected persons, and by refusing to interact at all with people who cannot be trusted to abide by mutual agreements.

For a more detailed treatment, see, for example, David Friedman's The Machinery of Freedom.

Of course there is no simple, short path from where we are now to any feasible anarcho-capitalist society; the idea that we need governments to solve problems is becoming more and more firmly entrenched, even in the face of the terrible track record of governments at actually solving problems.

Best vaccine: How Pfizer became the “status” choice
-I've met collectors (of records, in that case) who had what I consider an admirable attitude towards the perils of instant eBay gratification - seeing as the chase in most cases was better than the catch, they'd imposed a 'no Internet' rule - albums were only bought in physical record stores, at record fairs, garage sales &c - but, as it was put - 'Unless I can chat a bit with the seller, then put the money in his hand, there's no deal.'

I'd imagine it makes the hobby equal measures more rewarding and frustrating.

Elon is being very deceptive with that "rebuttal."

Here's two articles on his father and how he got his fortune: https://www.businessinsider.co.za/how-elon-musks-family-came... and https://www.businessinsider.co.za/elon-musk-sells-the-family...

> “We were very wealthy,” says Errol. “We had so much money at times we couldn't even close our safe.”

Elon is cherry picking some true details to paint a misleading picture. I'm sure he did work in that lumber mill, and living with his mom at times of his life might have been a financial struggle. But the basic point, that he started out in business with family financial resources that the overwhelming majority of humans will never have, remains true.

If you pay close attention, Elon does this form of deception by selection quite often. It's one of the things that switched me from cheering him on for tesla, spacex, to now more critical and guarded.
Conspiracy theories just need to be theories of conspiracy. It carries an implication of implausibility only because of popular perception. e.g. TV and movies like to show a "conspiracy theorist" as a person struggling with paranoia who has outlandish theories and no credibility.

Real, mundane conspiracies are numerous, and there are probably some outlandish ones, too. Every proven conspiracy must have started with someone's theory, if not an unprompted admission, so it's not always wrong to theorize. It's just silly to dedicate more than a little brain space*time to theories you've got no evidence for or hope of proving, conspiracy or otherwise.

> "Left" and "right" news sources, as conventionally understood, would show a wildly asymmetrical data plot.

Isn't that what's literally represented on the site though? The dots in the slider are not symmetrical. They're "wildly asymmetrical", as it were.

As soon as I saw the slider with the dots my immediate thought was, "Wow, they don't have an extreme left dot! This could be legit!" Because--despite what common far right media tends to refer to as, "the far left"--there actually doesn't seem to be any "far left" news sources.

I mean, where's the news websites that are constantly suggesting the people seize the means of production and nationalize all industries? Where's the TV news channel with endless talking heads referring to all private businesses as tyrannical for not spreading all profits across all employees?

It would be interesting to have such a news site for comparison purposes because I think it would give every day folks a taste of what "far left" actually is (i.e. not CNN which is center-right yet ask any Fox News watcher what constitutes "far left" and they'll say CNN, New York Times, etc).

This.

Especially the localization bit. I'm constantly surprised to encounter folks that never even think about it, until version 1.5, and then find out that localization is a nightmare to add, after the fact.

And getting folks to work with them, is just as nightmarish.

Good RoT for localization is native, local speaker of the language, and dialects need to be considered. It's quite possible to bust your ass, getting a Spanish translation, only to have a lot of upset Latin-American users, because the translation was done in Castilian Spanish, as the only person who could handle the tech involved in localization was a CS student in Madrid.

I've learned to factor localization in from the beginning; even if I'm sure that this will never be used outside of my country (which isn't actually fair. There's neighborhoods in Brooklyn, where English is not the primary language; even though everyone was born here).

You just need to get to the point where you have to add localization after the fact –once, to get religion.

Localization is difficult and expensive. If we want people to help us localize, it is incumbent upon us to make it easy and relatively tech-free.

Or we can pay beaucoup bucks to iBabble-On (who do a great job, but not for free).

+1 for tactile buttons!

Through our work at GoGoGrandparent.com (a service that helps older adults and people living with disabilities use Uber/Lyft, grocery services, meal services and pharmacy services reliably without smartphones) we’ve interviewed dozens of folks living with visual impairments.

The feedback that stands out the most was from a gentlemen in his 30s or 40s living with blindness since birth. Paraphrasing: “owning a smartphone was like living in a house where every time I entered a room, it was as if someone had just rearranged the furniture. Tactile buttons give me a literal feeling of control. If I get lost I can find my way.”

I thought it was really powerful.

Curious. I cannot understand it clearly. Lets take for example "my wife and my mother-in-law" illusion[1]. It is known for it's property that one cannot see both women at once. If we assume that it has something to do with such a coding in neurons, would it mean that those women are orthogonal, or it would mean that they refuse to go orthogonal?

Obviously you can get jobs at many startups without having much algorithmic skills. However, for you to make your case strong you should try building some web applications to prove that you're proficient to learn on your own and build things. Sometimes even the certifications and knowledge in cloud technologies are good enough for you to be hired. You should try getting referrals from people working at the companies and connect with people online.
