Life is more than just self indulgences, I don't actually see a point in working or contributing to society at all if I can't build a foundation that will benefit my children. I'm certainly not working so I can drive a fancy car or whatever.

Honestly not sure I'd even bother getting out of bed most days if the future of my children was just in the hands of the state, what would be the point.
There are protected classes by law. If anything the trend has been to extend them.

Advertising is a bit funny of course. If we're talking about magazine advertising, for example, there's nothing keeping you from advertising in a magazine that's overwhelmingly read by women, wealthy white guys, or black people. However, the law frowns on explicitly targeting (or excluding) a protected class.

> last I checked RAID 5/6 is basically asking for data loss with modern drive sizes

This is a debate I would love to see with people who have experience. Since I've seen individuals speak with authority on both sides.

I get that if you have a basic array of disks humming along with a big-ass ext4 partition, once one drive dies, the risk of the other drives being riddled with errors is huge.

But what if your array is both (1) using ZFS or BTRFS (with data checksumming) and (2) has scheduled full-disk data scrubs once a month or so? Wouldn't you catch the initial recoverable errors quick enough?
Me too. Especially if we compensate for the sharp increase in the quality of prediction and observation technology.

Last I played with the coldfire and 68k emulations in qemu to try to get it to boot EmuTOS (an Atari ST operating system) I found a lot of the I/O devices lacking, even just to run headless.

It was sufficient to boot Linux in some configurations but not complete enough of an emulation to run other things. This is in general the story with many things in QEMU.

I didn't keep notes, I suppose I should have. I might revisit this again someday.
If 30% goes to Apple AND the quality & privacy of every app was high and secure, as they boast, I wouldn't mind - but it is not. So I wonder what Apple ARE doing with that 15%-30% because it is not quality control or tight privacy across the board.

The figure will come down to 10%-20%, and we can move on.
Usually the way people solve this in Rust is with macros.
I don't think you considered the loss of the 30% from each apple music customer's previous subscription to a competitor. There's no unfair advantage, the maximum profit apple can make by switching a customer away from spotify is spotify's profit.

The point of the trivia is arguing against trying to time the market. Lots of people predict crashes are coming, so shift money from equities to cash or bonds. Unless you can time it perfectly (you can't), it is better to hold because you don't know when the best or worst days are.
How do? I don’t notice any push to watch Apple stuff when I navigate directly to Netflix or Prime Video...
Yeah. I was actually waiting on the serological results from my donation at the local blood bank. But as it turned out the results were lost in the Texas blackout. Oh well...
Plenty of people don't know how to show their grid coordinates on their phone, outside of dropping a google maps 'pin', which doesn't work great offline.
I can also recommend the nvidia shield.

I used to run various PC based home theatre bits of software, but they're all inevitably a pain to manage, don't work right, and require fiddling.

Got the Shield TV pro 2019(?) version, pointed Plex at my NAS, and it plays content flawlessly. Youtube, Amazon Prime, Netflix all work well too.

In theory it also plays games - but Nvidia's game service isn't launched here in Australia, and I've not found a game on the Google Play store that's isn't outright terrible. Steam Link theoretically works, but none of the games in my Steam library are suited to play with a controller. Theoretically there's emulators for various consoles which I've seen people saying is excellent, but I've never been able to make any of them work.

Like just about any modern device - it does need to be rebooted occasionally, but for the most part it's just turn on and go.
I volunteer with a local arts organization. We have lots of artists (over 200) with in various stages in their careers.

Fewer and fewer make a living at it full time. They struggle to make a business out of this. I feel like the art world has a very weird “winner take all” mentality. I kind of wish it was more distributed. I appreciate new revenue models, but I have mixed feeling about this.

No one is making anyone use apple platforms. They are free to choose from others.
The argument you're making can be used to say just buy an Android phone which already can do what you're describing, no?
You can turn on "apps only" mode which gets rid of most of the pre-loaded stuff, though one massive advertisement remains on the main homepage. Huge improvement over the Fire Stick which doesn't let you turn off the Amazon junk that takes over 90% of the menu real estate. Roku is still clean and simple and you can hide stuff you don't want. But massive downside is its a closed ecosystem and you can't load APKs and are at the whims of Roku removing apps after you buy it.
If Apple never had an App Store, then this wouldn't be a problem, true. There would be no "30% cut for almost nothing".

But would people buy as many iPhones if they were restricted to Apple-only services? Some might. I would expect more people would buy into more "open" ecosystems. I could be wrong -- and Apple has every right to shut down their App Store to find out.
Imagine I have a bit of paper and I tell you in 3 years time, someone will want to buy this piece of paper for 10 million. I will sell it to you for 1 million now. If you believe me, it would be stupid to decline this offer.

You can also watch the film The Big Short for another view into finance.

The most important thing to grasp is, don't think this can't be true because it's so stupid. It's exactly as stupid as it sounds.

> What is your explanation for the explosion in asset prices over the last year, if not inflation?

Well, a few ideas immediately spring to mind:

a) Historically low interest rates are causing people to chase gains elsewhere. Again, people end up looking to the markets. This has been an ongoing trend exacerbated by...

b) For folks not on the margins, discretionary spending was severely curtailed last year. They had to do something with that extra cash. Many people, during a time of tumult, chose to save. This is only exacerbated a trend that started way back in 2008 due to similar post-disaster psychological scarring. Where did people put the money? Into the markets.

c) Wealth concentration means a huge amount of the cash floating around has landed in the coffers of the largest institutions and individuals. Those institutions aren't using that cash to buy chips at the 7/11. They're either i) saving it, which means putting it into the market, or ii) using it to buy up assets (e.g. acquisitions) which itself bids up prices.

In short: What's going on the market probably has absolutely nothing to do with what's going on on mainstreet.

Of course, that's been true for the last 10 years as folks on the fringes continued to predict hyperinflation post-2008. But, the great thing about disaster predictions is you can always just move the goalposts out...
I don't think that can be right. On the surface you're suggesting that if a company worked in a particular area before another company then the first company is entitled to use anti-competitive practices, which clearly isn't true.
Why? That's hardly the fault of, say, the Swiss.

Yes, I liked it too. I normally dislike any kind of "messing with" my scroll, but here it seemed quite appropriate, if confusing at first.
Just take all of the apps off the top bar and put other apps up there. Any app on the top bar can control the hero banner.
I'm going to add that I did a rudimentary an analysis of the S&P 500 because everyone seems to be throwing their money into passive S&P500 low vehicle investments. I looked at every hold period since inception from 1 year holds / returns up to 40 year hold and returns.

Timing is crucial for good returns - depending on when you put in and take out your money the returns can be negative (even in cases where you hold up to 15 years) and in other cases quite good (best cases inflation adjusted annualized returns of 12% over 40 years).

I did it because I didn't buy the commentary that you should just put it in S&P 500 and that it will almost guarantee returns.

You could build emulators for consoles, but QEMU is not cycle accurate. Meaning some operations may finish faster or slower than they would on the original console. Some games may rely on that timing for things like physics engines and break in weird ways.

I've learned that with all the mechanical-head-pens hobbies that it's best to read a little, decide on one good enough product, and stick with it. Stop reading the forums, stop second guessing yourself, just be happy with what you chose.

I settled on a Code keyboard with MX Clears. It's durable, useful and I'm happy with it. Sure I could upgrade but there's little to no reason.

Same with headphones. I gave up on all the fancy audio and use AirPods. Yes, they sound worse. Yes, Bluetooth hurts audio quality. But who cares?

For most of these hobbies the benefit you get from your first purchase will never be replicated. From there it's all diminishing returns.

This often gets posted on HN but I am yet to see anything new or that deep. Their original paper is very light on detail [0]. Whatever objects you are working with in physics, is there some internal language or type theory that lets you describe physics? Seems like they want to take that kind of angle but haven't realised it. Until they have the machinery to do something kind of concrete, or at least produce some mathematics, seems like its just hand waving.

I'm going to take your awesome joke seriously. You can invest in the "consumer staples" index which is relatively counter-cyclical. People buy a similar number of socks every year whether they're doing well or badly.
You won’t be able to watch HD content on Netflix or Amazon Prime (at the very least) that way though. You can only get HD streaming via a browser on Windows, which appears to have an exception to the usual DRM rules.

edit: As pointed out below, Windows is implementing DRM via decoding in hardware, which WideVine (Google’s DRM layer) on desktop Linux doesn’t / can’t do, so there’s no special exemption here.
This is super interesting. There was a thread on either /pol or /x (about a year or more ago) where the rallied the Asperger's folks to identify objects in those pictures and if I remember correctly, it was determined to be somewhere in the Turkey.

Scaler Academy's Free Self-Assessment Test (Sat)
What I like best about the Scaler Academy program is that I can find help very quickly. We have to merely raise a help request, and within ten minutes, we receive assistance. Right from my teaching instructors to my peers at Scaler, I found everyone helpful and approachable.
That was never the case. The remote even has a dedicated Netflix button.
If anything I think the App Store has helped to drive the purchase price of software to $0. This in turn has driven every software vendor to either a subscription pricing model or a (privacy-invasive) ad model.

Open question on if this is net beneficial to consumers or developers, but it could also be considered an economic inevitability when MC = MR = 0.
He’s assuming some knowledge and experience on the part of the reader; that’s how it appears to me.

Upon reflection it seems like he went overly broad with the scope of this article.

If you’ve already interacted with things like the Enneagram test, you’ll already have the context to deal with his comments.

I learned a ton from this post, perhaps it’s because I’ve had a lot of experience interacting with all the problems and challenges he lists out. I got a lot of nuggets from it in terms of insights into problems I have faced and will continue to face.

Perhaps for the less experienced, this is less helpful, as they would miss this context.
Why not alternative stores?
I think the way you should think about the stock market is similar to beating the Casino in blackjack & card counting. When you know the deck is rich ins face cards make more aggressive bets, when its low in face cards be frugal. I.e. don't put lots of money into the market when its hot & put more money in when its cold. That way you statistically have a better chance on getting a good return.
This is more like a conceptual framework. Similar to apply social studies to learn about machine behavior. In this case, it's a fancy AI. This appears to me as a waste of time to kill the wrong problem.
Sounds like you may be depressed. My mom would tell us of how, similarly, us kids would be the only thing that helped her get through periods of depression.

Everyone wants a piece of the pie. I guess that's why these streaming services have been getting more and more expensive.
Well, I can tell you with certainty that wasn't the claim that was made.

> ostensibly on the basis

Is where you begin to separate from my comment.

But in the spirit of good conversation, my point was that Apple will collect some fee for companies to be on the App Store, especially the large ones (Facebook, Netflix, Spotify, etc.). They're not going to just say well I guess we won't charge developers anymore. I think the idea with the percentage of revenue was to have the amount taken grow in proportion with the value of the user base and number of users using a particular app, especially if they might have discovered that app on the iOS platform (i.e. lead generation).

If that goes away, there's no reason that I can see that Apple won't say, well we charged you X last year, we estimate that you're deriving Y amount of revenue from the App Store so we're going to charge an annual fee of Z to be on the App Store.
I hope to have that much overhead one day.
My original inspiration was that I wanted to watch Netflix with a non-crappy remote! Playing the occasional video game was just a bonus :)
The penalty might be tremendously significant, especially if they enforce something retroactively.
> The only way to not be bothered by stuff like this as a consumer is to not consume anything.

It's not very clear, from the above sentence, that you exclude consumption of creative works. In any case, how do you draw a distinction between consumerism and consuming certain works?
By default, you can't send emails to unverified addresses. If you'd like to be able to send (as opposed to just receiving), you'll need to reach out to AWS to remove this limitation from your account.
Maybe the problem is that what Filecoin envisions: A proof of space based distributed cryptocoin, where the space is offered as usable storage for end-users who pays the said crypto. Is not actually possible to make!?
The real Roku profits lie in charging streaming channels for access to Roku customers I believe; is the viewing data (which you can turn off at the per-device level) worth that much?
Logitech also has a Bluetooth variant of this where the mouse will have 3 different "personalities" that you can associate with different devices and then switch with a button. As far as the host devices are concerned it's 3 different mice so there's no switching involved.

It works great and it's the best of both worlds. Convenient and no dongles (Bluetooth on my MacBook was very reliable for a mouse).

Frankly, Google publishing a paper about AI is like Exxon publishing a paper about the environment. No company on earth has such a vested interest, or as strong a fetish for using fewer and fewer humans to provide and support its services.
London City Airport Launches Its Remote ATC Tower
Of course, but that's where it loops back to what I said about earlier EU ruling - if you own a platform that is used by more than 10% of EU population, then it's not good enough to just say "well, if you don't like it you can go somewhere else", because like I said in my first comment, Apple is inserting itself into business transactions that it maybe shouldn't be inserting itself into. I will say it again - if you have a company making an app for iOS, and customers willing to buy this app, why should apple have a say into whether it's allowed, and demand a 30% cut from every transaction?

Like, imagine if a company making car mats had to ask for permission from Mercedes to sell mats compatible with their cars. Or brake pads or oils or literally anything car related. We've regulated this through legislation years ago - manufacturers cannot say what is and isn't allowed with their cars post sale, they don't have that power. Why not software platforms next?
> I want one device to watch all the things, why is that so fucking hard for the appliance manufactures and media companies to provide?

As far as I can tell from the outside, it's because every company involved thinks that it owns the audience and thereby is in a position to sell it to any given counterparty.
> depending on when you put in and take out your money the returns can be negative (even in cases where you hold up to 15 years)

Sorry, but unless you're talking about truly black swan circumstances like the Great Depression or the 2008 crash, I don't believe for a second that, over a 15 year timespan, holding the S&P will result in negative returns frequently enough that a typical investor has to concern themselves with market timing.

You need to prove your work for a statement that strong.

I switched from a Fire TV Stick and a Valve Stream Link to an Nvidia Shield Pro. Very happy as well.

But to be honest I miss Amazon's voice search. It worked much better to find thing from the Netflix and Prime Video catalogs than Google assistant does now.

And on the other hand I actually would like to get the new Google TV interface of the most recent Chromecast. It looks way prettier than the plain Shield home screen and its universal watch list sounds very useful.
This observation only further solidifies the issue and directly supports the preceding comments.
White I confess that it sounds incredible that training some models uses more carbon than several households, I'm not clear on what the point is. Nor on if that is a meaningful comparison.

Stated differently, one of the largest cloud companies uses a ton of computer resources. Not exactly surprising.

I do think there are good ROI questions there, but I didn't see many suggestions on how to actually address them. Just feels like a playground fight between peers that think they can win with an appeal to fairness. All while none of them are actually getting things improved. :(

That isn't sudden in the usual meaning. What is meant by the question "Are you going to suddenly die?"? If a safe falls on you death will be sudden but there isn't any reason to believe you will be around falling safes historically. You may have some hidden defect. Sure you will die eventually even if you were unaging, but what is usually meant is "Do you have any known fragility like say a weak heart, high risk of stroke, or a habit of using something volatile in dosage like speedballs or carfentanil? "
"This is not an offer to lend" is a disclaimer that the ad isn't itself an offer to extend credit to whoever happens to see it - you have to apply and be approved first and they don't guaranteed they will offer you any lending products at all. It's usually followed up by language like "subject to credit approval."
