Yes but that would obviously no longer be true if dollars no longer "worked" (let's say 10k% inflation for the sake of argument). There would be _something_ of value that things could be exchanged for.
Antifragile, at least by the definition of Taleb that I believed coined the term, is not "bouncing back quickly", but actually improving after the event.

I don't see how a computing system could be anti-fragile. A team building one, certainly, learning from each mistake and improving the system.

But a system by itself, baring some miraculous learning AI, I don't see how.
I did this to namecoin for fun with a bash script for 36 hours in a loop once. This is a true story. Back in the merge mining days they gave them out for free and no one knew what to do with them.

The Apple Watch is a pretty good heart rate monitor, and it brings your Peloton data into the Fitness and Health apps. If you wear and Apple Watch while cycling, your heart rate shows up on the Peloton, and it breaks it down by heart rate zones.

I use an Apple Watch with my Bike+. I only do cycling workouts, so I never noticed this limitation, but it does seem odd.

It's possible that Apple didn't feel some of the data tracking for other activities was particularly accurate. Apple spends millions to test people doing different workouts and to measure the caloric spend, and maybe Apple only thought the data was accurate for cycling. Bootcamp classes in particular are a really nebulous concept.

Apple has workout modes for all different kinds of exercise built into the Apple Watch based on data they have gathered from large samples of test subjects. I wouldn't be surprised if Apple felt the cycling data was accurate, and the other stuff that Peloton was doing a lot less so (and a lot less accurate than popping into a workout mode directly on your Watch).
From a quick glance, this seems to be even further down the "messy" side of the firefox-on-android mess. I.e. its capabilities are even more restricted.

Can we reflect back for a moment that come the age of mass-media (Gutenberg), literally the first things off the press were:

I realize I'm nitpicking, but that's not what antifragile means at all. I think the word for what you are describing is resilient.

Antifragile systems are those which don't just continue to function in the face of unknown inputs, but in fact perform better in the face of shocks to the system. A classic example of this is the California redwood forests that thrive in the face of regular forest fires.

Real Men Have Fabs.

The above quip came from TJ Rodgers of AMD/Cypress. It was popularized by Jerry Sanders, CEO of AMD.[1]

There were many fabs back in the day. Now they're mostly EPA Superfund sites in Silicon Valley.

The IC industry has done thru many many boom/bust cycles. This cycle could be one of the worst because fabs are so expensive that everyone has chosen to simply buy their chips from the few remaining "real men" who still have fabs.

Not entirely unforeseen.

Dynamic mics are usually directional and less sensitive to background noise. If you talk into them from the right side they'll mostly pick up your voice. A lot of echo will be rejected because it comes from a different direction.

Condenser mics are a lot more sensitive and omnidirectional. They are great in a studio to pick up every detail, but if you use them in a normal room you'll end up with lots of echo/reverb which is really hard to get rid in post.

'Robust' assumes the system doesn't need to bounce back from failure, since it's strong enough. But most systems these days are not so strong that they can deal with anything. We have to resort to hacks and mitigation strategies like snapshotting (in the case of VMs) or using fault tolerant filesystems like ZFS or RAID if you operate a datacenter.
The storage goes from 200GB to 2 TB. 200 GB isn’t hard to use up in a family. Even 2 TB could be not enough for a family that uses iCloud to host most of their photos and videos.

If you are not creating value that means you are consuming value created by others. The total value created for everyone to enjoy shrinks. Society just cannot sustain itself without people who create more value than they consume.

Who is going to create all the value consumed by rent seekers, financial engineers, thieves, scammers, corrupt or bloated government? People who create and provide more value than they consume.

The problem articulated by Antonio Garcia-Martinez:

> The customer always gets what they want: In the case of an ads-driven business model where the advertiser is the true customer, that’s balanced political news alongside frivolous lifestyle stories as a canvas for ads. In the case of subscribers, it’s being flattered by having their own worldviews echoed back at themselves in more articulate form. Nobody actually pays for news, unless your livelihood depends on it, which is why outlets like The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg will still flourish, but nothing vaguely resembling news will otherwise remain in a subscription-driven world.

I am not at all opposed to this strategy either, but as you seem to imply, it would really need to be hardened against other corruption and schemes like that the blind trust has to be run by the same government office.

It is why I like the fact that they just have to announce their stock trades ahead of time, it still allows them autonomy, but also there is no sense in front running them if they are not trading on insider knowledge. Their performance should essentially be in line with the market, not like Mr. Gottheimer that seems to have tripled his net worth in FY2020.
Thank you, reminds me a little too much of Bernie supporters calling black voters "low-information voters" because they didn't vote for Bernie

What did she do here that constitutes speculation? All she did was push for the highest stimulus she could get.
Peloton should definitely try to work with the Apple Watch as best as possible. We are hearing mixed reports on if Apple or Peloton wanted Peloton to pull back on some of the integration.

I recently got a Peloton Bike+, and it is one of the best mixtures of physical and software product I have ever seen. By far the best for anything exercise related.

I had been riding on a basic bike with Apple Fitness+, and I enjoyed it a lot, but the Peloton is next level. For cycling classes, it blows everything out of the water. It doesn't just have the standard music and cycling stuff that Soul Cycle and others made popular in person, it has all of the Power Zone classes that are based on improving your specific fitness levels with data and classes tailored to you.

Yeah, all those people living in 'countries' are kind of weak, what their 'laws', 'regulations', 'infrastructure' like roads, bridges, and 'education'.

More seriously "BTC success" - no, BTC is a total failure as a currency, nobody is using it.

People are piling in for a variety of reasons, but even as a 'store of value' it's probably the 'least good option' where real estate, stocks, bonds, commodities - or a very low cost ETF would serve considerably better.

Leaving it no reason to exist other than as a hyped up scheme.

I won't bother to respond to the rest of your treatise other than to point out the obvious, which is that BTC is not remotely a solution to any of the things you're hinting at as being wrong.

As icegreentea2 says, these are attack submarines, not part of the French strategic deterrent.

In a surface attack role a nuclear sub has a significant speed and endurance advantage. Conventional subs are can't adjust to course changes in targets very easily; of course, they are quieter and smaller, so choke point ambush becomes more feasible.

A nuclear boat also has the speed to keep up with a carrier battle group or a fast convoy. The ability to use SLCM to strike land (MdCN) or maritime targets (Exocet) without obvious forewarning is also useful.

Strategic boats are not used for conventional attack because it would reveal their location, and the launch of a ballistic missile could trigger real escalation towards nuclear exchange.

I see articles about curing depression from time to time and I have hope but not much. I have lived most of my life as a depressed kid. The most jolting realization that I had as an adult was that around sixth grade I was contemplating suicide without knowing what that word meant. Since then, life has been like a long, slow death march. If you asked most of my friends they'd likely tell you that I'm really happy, funny, quirky, and eccentric but inside I battle the demons of my own mind. I've let those demons shape my understanding of the world before and each day they don't these days is a choice. I've used cognitive behavioral therapy as a tool to do battle against them, I take daily melatonin, and I take long vacations but those things are coping mechanisms. The days I am hit with depression that wants to keep me anchored to my bed are the days I really go to war. I have to keep my mouth shut more because whatever I say on those days will almost assuredly be tainted with tinges of, I hate myself and am discontented with the world tones. I have to pressure myself to focus. When the day is over I throw myself on the couch and hope that tomorrow that veil is lifted.
I fully agree, and I'd like to extend it to their families as well. But... you ask "why not" and the simple reason is that only they could enact such a law. And even when the laws are in place -- Trump ran roughshod over the foreign emoluments clause, and there were zero consequences. Why would the richest and most powerful Democrats set such a precedent, only to have it turned around when they're in power and stand to profit?

2 months off for paying annual pricing is a very good deal for someone who plans to use you product on the long term. I personally have a few items I pay for annually because I don't see myself stopping from using it AND there is no obvious replacement.

I would NOT recommend changing the 2 months off; you'll annoy your most loyal customers.
This appears to have a bit in common with an idea I was toying with a month or two ago. I see nothing in this implementation that actually encourages decentralization, though. The economics of providing compute services certainly won't do it by themselves. We already have a networks of computers and ways to pay for them, and that has only encouraged centralization into a handful of cloud compute providers.

I can certainly see how something like this can reduce the barrier to entry for becoming a small-time compute provider, but I don't see how it changes the economics: specialization and centralization (up to a point) is cheaper.

Is there something I'm missing?
Ah that's unfortunate, especially the keyboard issue which I know bit many people.

It's across the board. Makers of small scale microcontroller projects/kits (whose chips typically use 28nm and larger process nodes) are reporting problems getting parts. Apparently some of the parts the autos need are >100nm.

I suspect that this problem started with the Huwai sanctions causing lots of Chinese companies to start panic buying inventory not knowing of they're going to be the next hit with sanctions. Add to that the demand shifts caused by the pandemic. Then throw in other companies realizing how vulnerable they are (and therefore trying to add to their own inventories) and some speculators and it makes for a real mess.

> Many non-US countries have little/no credit card presence

Was that statement accidental horrible wording or did you actually mean it ?

If the latter, then you must be one of those many Americans that needs to travel more. The rest of the world are not neanderthals who've never heard of credit cards.

Go to Kenya (Africa) and the only reason you might struggle to pay by credit card is if the merchant has decided to prefer payments via the M-PESA money transfer phone app instead which is what most of the locals use. So you could say a number of non-US countries are even ahead of the US !

But of course I hope your wording was accidental, in which case I apologise for the three paragraphs above. ;-)

So the Singapore thing is only a puzzle for those who refuse to accept that Confucian values had been working pretty well as a political ideology for hundreds of years in Asia (until the world flipped upside down in the past two centuries).

For example, if you look more closely at Japan, while their politics is arguably more democratic, the culture has an obvious authoritarian slant as well. Mostly unnoticeable to foreigners but it's there. Some of what you described regarding Singapore also applies to Japan, albeit sometimes those things might be enforced culturally and not necessarily in law. (But then, look up their criminal conviction rate if you want to be scared.)

China is another example. People often have strong (and often irrationally emotional) opinions about politics in China, but I suppose we can agree that the past narrative about the Chinese government having to implement democratic reforms or perish has lost much credibility by now.

I mean, everyone has their own opinions about what is a "moral" way to run a country, but if we're talking about achieving objective results with Confucian-style-paternalistic-authoritarian governments, Singapore isn't really an exception. (In fact, it might be the only way East Asian countries know how to properly run a country. There's more to public administration than democratic elections)

If it's not broken don't fix it. I would focus on the top of your funnel to increase sales.

Also, you want to have more annual subscribers than monthly. It's almost certainly more profitable. You're essentially giving up 1/6 of revenue in exchange for guaranteed 0% monthly churn. A simple estimate of what your breakeven monthly retention is: 98.5% = (5/6)^(1/12). So if you're losing less than 1.5% of your customers monthly then this would be unprofitable.
