I would go further and state that many legitimate apps are not any better than some spam. While they may present these apps as providing some sort of service, they also collect data that they have no right to.

That being said, many illegitimate apps are based upon pure misrepresentation. It sounds like that is the type of app that Google's press release was targeting, rather than the nebulous area where most people have differing opinions on what is legit or otherwise.
I don't like sitting by the computer, so I usually go on a sofa or somewhere comfy and just stare at the wall until I come up with what exactly I need to program. Sometimes I use pen and paper, or more recently reMarkable.
Then I get on the computer and sprint through the implementation and all tests etc.
I cannot do that when working in the office - people think I am lazy and don't work. I hate that you are forced to sit by the stupid machine.
Since I won't code anything until I know exactly what to do, I tend to just browse stuff on auto-pilot not event thinking what I am looking at the screen. That as well make coworkers think I am lazy.
I feel anxious when I think that I may be required to be coming back. I'll definitely quit if they start pushing hard.

Markets tend to abstract away responsibility. Just look at rhino horn, elephant tusk buyers in Asia, I am sure it's a similar story. Most people think that if they are buying from a reputable company that it must be okay, some companies even market that (Brilliant Earth) and even they get in trouble though since the diamond market in general is shady.
Yes, if we rapidly decarbonize to renewables and figure out the storage issue, we don't need nuclear. And we should certainly attempt that. But if we overshoot, like in that P4 scenario, we're going to need massive carbon capture down the road, and nuclear fits quite well into that scenario.

Also, if storage remains expensive at scale, so that wind/solar gets very expensive past 80% market penetration, nuclear would be a low-carbon way to fill in that last 20%. It doesn't do away with the need to roll out wind/solar as fast as we can, but it helps us with the hard part later.

Nuclear also may be well-suited for industrial applications requiring process heat instead of electricity.

Excellent article on the Avro Arrow:

The project was genuinely ground-breaking. Avro’s engineers had been allowed to build a record-breaker without compromise. But Canadians would soon discover that the supersonic age had made aviation projects so expensive that only a handful of countries could carry them out – and Canada, unfortunately, wasn’t one of them.

You heard a different question to the one the women heard.

You heard "Do you want this man-made item that is functionally identical to a naturally occurring item".

The women heard "Do you want the jewelry that symbolises your love to be real or fake?"

Functionally, there is almost no difference in an item containing a diamond and an identical one containing worthless rock.

But, you know, jewelry derives almost all of its value from being expensive and rare. Jewelry that is neither expensive nor rare stops being jewelry.
Where did I say anything about "just closing the borders"? Yes multiple approaches are necessary. My point was that if Trump had tried the same tactics NZ did he would have been met with vitriol about how racist and xenophobic he was. People still won't admit that his administration was responsible for getting the vaccine out in a timely manner.

NZ had the obvious benefit of being an island with a low population that was able to easily lock their borders down and keep people socially distanced. They didn't pull off some miracle that no one else can figure out.

But if you write such an article, you need to convery specific information - about the "who/what/where/when" of the news story. This is information that was not available to GPT-3 at the time of training (e.g. it doesn't know that Biden is the PotUS now) so someone will have to sit down and craft a prompt that contains this information and such that it causes GPT-3 to generate a piece that repeats this information. To do all that sounds like a lot more work than just writing the article by hand.

I got my start doing Lotus/Domino development and it was a surprisingly powerful system. We developed all kinds of internal workflow and document management tools that ran basically the entire company. The document store 'database' model it used reminds me very of the NoSQL movement that came over a decade later. One pretty amazing thing at the time (mid-late 90s) was that you also got usable web interface to all your tools almost 'for free' (which is what half the people used). When combined with Lotus 123 it would spit out very nice reports and graphs with only a few lines of code. In many ways it was way ahead of its time and it took years for most other tools to catch up.

One thing we never used Lotus for though was mail, calendar or contacts.

Selective breeding is not the same as transgenic modification. Selective breeding more closely mimics natural evolution, and while there is still a possibility or unintended consequences, that possibility is a lot lower. It's all genetic combinations that could have manifested in the wild, getting genes that already exist in species to activate.

With transgenic changes, you're talking about adding genes to species that don't exist in those species. Genes that have no effective pathway to make that move in the wild.

For VP9/x264, almost certainly not. If you jump on a newly-uploaded video, you'll see that higher resolution comes later. It's common to see 720p nearly immediately, then 1080p, then 4K.

For pre-x264, they probably could, but between the relatively small sizes required for the low resolution those codecs would be supporting, and the cost difference between compute and storage, I'd bet everything is encoded beforehand.

> diamond ring is how much love / value / worth I hold for her

Wow.. I find it hard to believe how someone can say/repeat such a statement about the size and authenticity of a shiny rock to equal the love you have for the person. It sounds so materialistic - but, I can't blame her either, it's part of the value system of the surrounding society she grew up in. It's impressive how effective the diamond industry's marketing has been over the last century or so.
Bizarre why this is down-voted as it addresses the root issue. I'd love a software world where I'm actually the customer (with a voice via my wallet).

Senior Swiss diplomat in Iran 'dies in fall from high-rise building'
Great taxonomy breakdown.

The low temporal locality part of the design space is particularly interesting. It is extremely general but for many data models "low temporal locality" can mean highly variable windows on a per entity basis and not on the entire collection, which is a challenging criteria for the way most systems are designed. Physical world sensor observation data models are a good example of this. Existing solutions for low temporal locality data models scale quite poorly in practice, even on systems nominally designed for them.

At the limit, low temporal locality platforms converge on the same unusual design requirements as symmetric mixed-workload database kernels. The latter is something we really don't (know how to) build, since it has some interesting computer science constraints. It is a missing piece of technology to make this stuff really work well at scale.

It's hard to visualize just how much more valuable land is in high-value areas. It far far outweighs the amount of land. And remember that it's a tax on the value of the land, not the amount of land. $1M of land in the Bay Area is not often enough to place even a house, but $1M of farm land far from economic opportunity will buy hundreds of acres.

What this does is make the Ricardo/Georgist of land more relevant in the current times than it was for agricultural land hundreds of years ago. The difference between good and bad land is amplified, not reduced.

Check out this map of the US, that switches from pixels proportional to acres to pixels proportional to real estate value. Georgism applies most extremely to these areas that metastasize:

https://twitter.com/bufordsharkley/status/138799739507868467...

It's also worth pointing out that the primary "critique" of Piketty's analysis of wealth inequality, with wealth increasing towards capital owners, by Matthew Ronglie, was two fold 1) depreciation wasn't properly analyzed, and 2) most of the wealth transfer went to capital in the form of real estate rather than other forms of capital. And the part of real estate that doesn't depreciate is the land, not the structure. So I view Ronglie not as a refutation of Piketty, but an addition that points the way to the real problem with capital: land.

For George, land was not capital, it had to be separated out because it behave differently than a set of tools. And for George, land doesn't refer just to the dirt on which we build structures, it also applies to things like patents and other monopolies that the HN crowd understands to sap wealth from society.

Georgism is a very unintuitive understanding of political economy, but I think that the HN crowd is far more likely to find it a natue thing to understand, since our "capital" in the form of computers are cheap and plentiful, most of us live in places where real estate demonstrates George's insights dramatically (the Bay Area), and we also encounter other forms of economics land like patents/IPv4 addresses/domain names.
