But there’s a way to do that: invest in infrastructure. If everyone in town offers 50/10 and you build out fiber for 1000/1000, you’ll get customers from the other companies. But no one does that; they just don’t compete.
that command just sets an environment variable `NEXT_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=1`, I wouldn't necessarily consider it system level magic.

There is actually a similar question that is asked in the interview:

> Is there anything in the kernel which is not optimal, but would require a complete rewrite to address properly? In other words, the kernel is 30 years old and knowledge, languages and hardware have changed a lot in these 30 years: if you rewrote it from scratch now, what would you change?

And Linus' answer was very interesting for me - and after reading it, I would answer your question (tongue in cheek): "Never, because it seems that Linux developers were quite successful in starting all over again for quite some parts of the Linux kernel."

I guess it's not really an answer to your question, but kind-of ;)
Oracle Responds to the Intercept's “How Oracle Sells Repression in China”
Not a wind turbine design engineer, but have done some fluid dynamics work. Thus, I'm not super familiar with what "wake blockage" is. A tentative look suggests that it might be similar to this work that I encountered[1], which suggests that by carefully positioning the wind turbines, one can extract more energy basically via the Bernoulli effect. Not sure if this is something of interest (or relevant) to you or not, but when I talked to some of the people working on that subject, it was implied to me that the manufacturers of wind turbine weren't interested in this, as it may decrease the number of wind turbines they can sell...

Monopoly with six is even worse this way, because you can have the situation of one person sitting around with nothing to do happen multiple times. If everyone plays, the first loser sits around. #2 tries to start something new with #1, and then #3 or #4 finds themselves having missed out on whatever the other people started.

If not everybody plays, then #2 may get everyone else to start something long. Now #4 and #5 are stuck playing something again with the winner, after that person has already monopolized their time for the entire evening.

Because face it, the player who wins or comes in second usually is the same motherfucker to suggest Monopoly in the first place.

It was aimed at computers with a VGA card when it was released sometime between 1993 and 1994, which wasn't a very large market when I was a teenager then.

Those folks who are not interested can say, "Nah." and if their partner presses the issue that's definitely problematic. A signal of "I'm not interested" should be the end of discussion, there are plenty of tools for folks whose partners aren't in the mood.

That said, there are many folks who aren't enthusiastic about the act itself, but have enthusiasm for the outcome. Many asexual folks I know, for instance, are enthusiastic that they can do something that makes their partners happy, even while not particularly enjoying the act. You are interpreting my definition in only the narrowest possible lens.

If you select an example with almost identically substitutable goods, no wonder you miss the point. Lets use oranges and sausages in the example instead. Now we're trading meat for fruit. What's the value to you of not dying of scurvy or protein deficiency?

Identifying imbalances in supply and demand, and working out how to resolve them creates huge value, otherwise all trade would be pointless.

That's where investors and business owners come in. They identify an imbalance in supply and demand between the labour of employees and the needs of customers. Sure the employees could do that themselves, and that's fine. It's not as if it's illegal, good luck to them. Power to the people. But the point is somebody has to do it and it absolutely creates value.

Marriage has nothing to do with it. It's just legal binding to unite the possessions and caretaking of the children. Abuse still happens, more often than not, in marriages, including rape. Unless you comment was sarcastic, your point is clearly proven wrong by and large.
When I worked in consulting, the vast majority of my work was with companies that didn't have the staff and/or expertise to solve a particular problem. Then again, I didn't work at a big-four -- but I would imagine that a team that 25% has experience in doing a particular thing is still better than a team that has zero experience doing it.

While people often criticize consulting companies for barely knowing what they're doing, the flip side of this is that the people at the company hiring them don't necessarily know what they're doing either :D There's a lot of people coasting along in corporate IT.

I think the bladeless vortex concept makes no sense. Here's why:

1. The surface area of the machine is small. Think of this as the area that can capture power from the wind. Due to the cylindrical shape this is way smaller than the rotor area of a HAWT or even a VAWT.

2. Vortex induced vibration [1] is a real phenomenon that can extract energy from a flow. However, to extract this energy, the natural frequency of the structure must synchronize with the vortex shedding frequency of the flow around the structure. This is called "lock-in". Since the wind is a highly variable resource, it will not consistently be in this "lock-in" range in real-world conditions. To give perspective on the norm for HAWTs, pitch control for the blades is used along with generator torque control to achieve power production from 3 m/s all the way to the maximum (cut-out) wind speed of ~25 m/s.

A semantic argument about the scope of a synecdoche doesn't address the substance of whether Signal should underestimate the intent and consequences of a clumsy looking subpoena. Partisan and other exceedingly bad actors in a system necessarily have even better special protections than good ones, because they're the ones a system has to defend to defend the legitimacy of itself. Ask any union or profession that behaves like one. Signal has antagonized prosecutors as a class, and it's reasonable to expect some outwardly irrational behaviour from some individuals. They've hit the hornets nest.

Judging by how the the crypto wars played out the last few times, the "Four Horsemen of the Infocalypse" will be trotted out again soon, and probably with the addition of a new predictable character trope.

On a very macro level, tech humiliates intellectuals, politicians and other courtiers, or those who aspire to be them, and this motive is what makes forecasting a crackdown sparked by something like the Cellebrite pillorying seem reasonable.
If I had to wager I'd always bet on the CIA lying, I don't see how anyone could come to another conclusion given their history.
How's it nonsense? If I buy $499 dollars at face-value and sell them for $500 there's no possible justification for the claim that I created $500 of value. Perhaps I created $1.

Paying for labor is absolutely as transactional as paying for other inputs to your business. Because you (hopefully) create marginal value on top of that comp doesn't mean the total comp is your value creation.

You can't just add total employee comp to your "value created" pile. There's maybe some marginal value creation you could kind-of claim in that your presence increased employee comp over some hypothetical world where you didn't exist—but that's getting well into bullshit territory, since there's no way to know some competitor you crushed wouldn't have ended up creating more total value and paying their employees even more. It's pure fantasy.

Yep, instead of setting priorities straight, the pandemic has instead become a tool to wield against each other in service of preexisting priorities. I'm sure I am guilty of it too.

So if the police escalate a situation and shoot someone who is not a violent criminal, because he is black and therefore more likely (from the police officer's point of view) to be a violent criminal than a white person in the same situation, that's the system working as designed?

The nature of almost all complex projects, whether in house or out are that they are under scoped to get approval and then run over budget and over time to get additional resources.

FWIW yes, I have both seen and worked on projects that were delivered on time, on budget, and were considered a success, but those metrics are hardly an indicator of anything useful.

Estimation isn't an exact science, and estimating exactly on target for a major project with a big team is about as hard as it gets.

Connecting it with skin colours, which is what this whole nonsense is about, is.
In a perfect world maybe, in practice I doubt it. It's just not very human-like to take a lot of risk in large projects. If IBM takes a big project and delivers it late and over budget, they still delivered it so they will likely be picked for another project with the same low-bidding strategy.

Former Dropbox VPE on navigating uncertainty in transitioning to different roles
When all we see are stock prices next to crypto prices, it’s easy to forget that stock represents actual ownership of a company.

When you buy a stock, you own part of that company, including all of the cash on their balance sheet, their inventory sitting on shelves, income from their business activities, any buildings they own, their IP, their brand, and so on. These are real, valuable things that are divided into ownership shares and sold to people.

Crypto removes all of the actual ownership of things and just skips straight to shares that don’t represent anything. Take stocks and subtract all of the actual underlying assets and value, and you basically have crypto as traded on the exchanges.

Remember that cryptocurrency has no notion of market price or exchange rate to USD. The exchange rate that everyone focuses on is not a function of the blockchain or cryptography. It’s purely a function of the exchanges

I think the sentiment here (and in many comments) is interesting - I've been a consultant for over a decade and felt the same thing in the early parts of my career. Those are really expensive Powerpoints!

In the last few years I've created some of those Powerpoints, and have realized the value in them (not saying that all are valuable). I've been asked questions like:

- We're a year in to a data warehouse migration and have nothing to show for it. What happened, where do we go from here, and how much will it cost?
- We'd like to outsource a call center, but don't know where to start both on the tech and process sides. Can you help?
- We have a business idea, but know little about technology. Can you put together a plan, so that we know how much we'll need to invest? Oh, and can you design the architecture and tell us which cloud to use?

There's tons of rigorous analysis, interviews, and research that goes into answering these questions well enough that they can be trusted. Since it's primarily an exercise in critical thinking, mileage probably varies depending on who is doing the work. There are plenty of bad Powerpoints I've seen out there that don't move the needle or add anything new.

The problem I see with your definition of "Not saying no." is that it leaves a lot of ambiguity and requires a lot of caveats.

An unconscious person can't say no, but no one would agree they are consenting. What about someone intoxicated or under the influence? What about someone who is scared? Where does "I'd rather not", or "If I have to" fit? (Both of those seem to imply not consenting to me.)

Whereas a yes provides an unambiguous signal.

> Personally outside of established relationships I always waited for the other person to make the first move because I was always so terrified of kissing someone who didn't want to kissed.

> To be like crypto, it would have to be a no dividend, no asset, no income, no identifiable market company.

In other words, you’d have to subtract everything of value and leave only the shares themselves. That’s essentially what crypto is: Shares of a finite number that can be moved around between accounts, but don’t represent anything other than themselves.
It got out of control because I got complacent, started eating a lot of what I shouldn't, and didn't do my finger stick sugar testing for a long time.

Then, because it's diabetes, I started peeing a lot. Then I measured and knew i was in trouble.

A1C is an average over time, and the doc finding it at 13+confirmed it had been a problem for awhile.

Appropriateness of measurement depends on what you're measuring and why, how it fluctuates, and how it might respond to your eeffort and routine.

Most diabetics who don't use insulin, like me, only need to measure once in the morning (your doctor may vary). If you're trying to bring your blood glucose into control, and trying to see what kind of (natural) insulin response you have, then more frequent is appropriate. And if you use insulin, that's a whole nother protocol. So it depends.

Weight average goes up and down slowly over days and weeks, and spot weight depends on how much mass you ate at your last meal, etc. So daily weight can be frustrating if that's what your goal is. I've read that once a week is appropriate.
