I'm always curious about what is featured in entertainment vs reality.

This was mostly because of my contact / travels with younger folks outside the US who I would talk to. I was supersized by how may other younger people seemed to have their view of America heavily influenced by imported TV shows / movies. A surprising number seemed to assume that everyone was a TV 'type', school life was like a TV show, and the assumption that most everyone was wealthy like the shows at the time.

This was well before the age of the internet.

As far as the actual media trends, I think it usually just follows fads and trends. I don't think there's a real 'motivation' behind it outside getting eyeballs on TV.
I agree that Tesla dropping FSD would take a while. In addition to the huge sunk-cost and investor expectations, they have an entire strategy (via 3 year vehicle leases which are currently offering no-buyout for customers at termination) of monetizing leased vehicles as robo-taxis.

Not saying they will succeed here, but just saying that to give up on FSD would be corporate suicide at this point.

The source used in the submission is this: https://www.statista.com/statistics/244983/projected-inflati...

That source seems to be "U.S. city averages" (relative) while your source seems to be " Monetary Base by Millions of USD" (absolute). You'd have to convert it into relative values in order to compare it I guess.
I don't have a hard math here. But here's some example: JRebel. It allows for instant class reloading in JVM. It increases one's productivity tremendously. And it's expensive as hell. They used to have free version, they don't have it anymore. I can only judge that they're struggling and forced to squeeze all they can, because developers will prefer free restricted version over paid full-featured version. I know, I do, I don't value my own time and I'll never pay more than $100/year for a tool (and hopefully much less), I already trying hard to justify Idea subscription, because it seems that Idea CE contains almost everything I need.

If developers would love to spend thousands of bucks here and there, paid developer tools industry would flourish. But I think that it's even degraded compared to the past. I remember paid Delphi IDE and I remember paid components and that was a thing back then. I can't remember any popular paid React component right now, despite the fact that much more people are using React compared to Delphi.

Actually, what those African nations need is a tiny enclave, a special economic zone, that has the rule of law and is kept stable at all costs where western nations can invest as much as they please, while leaving the rest of the country alone so that the rest of the country can catch up to the standard of living of that enclave, without western influence.

> Why would Amazon look to achieve some marginal advantage in its retail businesses at the risk of a total loss to one of its marquee businesses, AWS? It's an idiotic risk.

There's a pretty obvious way to achieve this risk mitigation which is by spinning off AWS into a completely separate company with separate management accountable to a separate board with separately traded shares and not sharing any offices, employees or infrastructure with Amazon retail.
I often like alert better (osascript -e 'display alert "'"$1"'"'"), this way the message don't go away before you click ok.

Can also combine with a vocal message:

If they do it, they'll likely be the first ones that do it right (or as right as possible).

Before the iPod, MP3 players sucked.

Before the iPhone, smartphones sucked.

Before the MacBook notebooks sucked (still, sleep and touchpads don't work right on most notebooks but Macs).

They don't do it first, they just make it right. Break it down to the essentials, and iterate obsessively over every detail and get it done in a way that works for most people (that can afford it). They never concern themselves with large feature lists, just do the few things that are essential right.

Granted, they are not perfect, but f**k they do get close.
Samsung is a much looser conglomerate than Amazon. Furthermore, their fab division is much larger than their handset division. I imagine all parties have weighed the pros and cons.

Apple continues to actively steer away from Samsung, anyway.
I'm still not understanding the distinction here. Costco and Amazon both sell company-brand products, alongside non-company products. Costco and Amazon collect and analyze sales data from the sale of both company and non-company products.
Ah, another classic "SV bro disillusioned with making hundreds of thousands of dollars per year does psychedelics and now feels at one with the world" timeline.
I'm interested to see how they'd solve the camera module issue.

Current gen iPhones already don't sit flat on a table because the rear camera modules are too thick, this is typically solved via a [required] case. But with a folding phone the two halves must have symmetrical depth and building cases for a folding phone itself is complex.

So either the new phone would need to be thick enough for a flat back w/camera module (which would make the whole phone incredibly thick), they need a new thinner module (but with optical sacrifices?), or a case that can hide the imbalance (but again, thickness).

A lot of companies have tried to make folding phones with mixed successes but keeping a GOOD camera seems to be a hurdle. Cameras really benefit greatly from depth, physics doesn't care about your design goals.

> The main issue that seems to need fixing is capacity

As evidenced by the fact the vast majority of letters are delivered, it seems capacity isn't the issue.

If there were a capacity issue, they would be falling further and further behind as letters were being posted quicker than they could be sorted and delivered.

Instead the issue is loadbalancing. Some centers have too much load, while others have spare capacity. That changes day to day, increasing delivery times.

The fix is variable pricing to get each local sort center closer and more consistently towards its capacity without exceeding it.

Having used both Haskell and main stream programming languages I did not at all think that was confusing. The type of "fn foo(x: int) -> string" is quite obviously "fn(x: int) -> string" for people coming from languages like C. I do not see how a colon would make anything more clear. Imagine the function "fn bar(x: fn(x: int) -> string)", would that be more clear with a colon?

On the other hand the enum thing is certainly surprising.

>The scale of outsourcing Boeing has done for the 787 is not comparable to AB (or anyone else). They outsourced core competencies, wing design,

Fyi... I did some more reading and it turns out Boeing engineering did design the 787 wing even though Mitsubishi of Japan manufactured them.
An excerpt from https://www.seattletimes.com/business/boeing-shares-work-but...:

Jenks, who leads the wing team, said the crucial, conceptual stage of the 787’s wing design was “100 percent Boeing.”

To define the shape of the wing and the system of movable flight-control surfaces, Boeing aerodynamicists conducted detailed analysis of performance requirements, historical flight-test information and new wind-tunnel data.

Only after that defining phase of the 787 design did Boeing bring Mitsubishi engineers to Seattle to figure out the broad parameters of the internal structure of the wing.

“We gave them the shape,” Jenks said.

“That is the family jewels,” Noble said. “That part I could never see Boeing sharing in any way, shape or form. That is what our brilliant engineers are able to figure out.”

Boeing engineering legend Joe Sutter, lead designer of the iconic 747 jumbo jet in the late 1960s, agreed that this first design phase is the key.

“That’s the stuff that Boeing still pretty much keeps under its own belt,” said Sutter, who at 86 still talks at aviation gatherings about jet design.
... but Europe is not just some dude making decisions all by itself. So who should do exactly what? Sure, maybe the corporate culture needs to change. Maybe CEOs, boards, investors/shareholders, regulators (and managers, and employees, and education, and ...) have to change to change corp culture. So how?

Also why do exactly Europe has to do this? Is Cloud the new gunpowder? Should the EU Commission just run a big OpenStack cluster?

(So these big alliances are completely useless. Just like OpenStack itself. Instead of this 10B EUR for some pet projects of random big and old industrial companies, the Commission should work on making it easier to start a company, hire/employ folks anywhere, sell stuff, make contracts, develop standards, report problems [ie. corruption], and it should create X-prize like grants/competitions, it should give incentives to build and maintain direct to end-user technology. Anyway, this is just like the F35 in the USA, members states want to spend the money at home.)
That is an important distinction (or at least the idea that IQ only measures a very narrow and not so significant part of a persons intelligence). I would surmise that a lot of those graduating with high IQs have also acquired the arrogance to believe that they should manage society, not just businesses. They can point to IQ scores and high salaries to prove their supposed superiority. In that way, IQ has become a cultural myth for reinforcing mandate to rule; we even have magazines comparing the IQs of different presidents throughout history, as estimated by pseudo-psychologists. The cultural elite have become something of a ruling/chattering class, more so than before, with greater and greater divides between different sectors of society. It is all quite ironic, since it could be argued that the elites today have less critical thinking abilities than our classically educated ancestors, many of whom expressly rejected a belief in elite rule. Fixation on IQ and wealth can be like the Cyrenians who wasted their wealth teaching their war horses to dance, then getting defeated when the enemy played flutes in battle, causing their horses to dance.

It's a good idea to test basement radon levels when buying a new house. In my state, it's a check box on the required paperwork, so every buyer can see it's an option. The tests are cheap and quick. Check with your state for any help with finding testers or paying for the tests and mitigation systems.

Radon levels vary a lot. In Pennsylvania, the worst areas lie along the Appalachians, but even then neighboring houses can have huge differences in radon. So even if your soon-to-be neighbors didn't have a problem, do the test.
This reads like a reply to a different comment. The person above was saying there haven't been any advancements in CPUs or GPUs which is obviously not true. No one said anything about battery powered devices and even those have had multiple cores for many years now - as a result of transistors still shrinking.
I'm amazed that USPS can somehow keep up with all the sprawl. It has to cost a lot to run out all these trucks to suburbia, for what? $0.40 per piece?

What's sufficiently big according to you? And what qualifies as interoperability? An API? Open sourcing the whole tech stack? What about in companies with hands in multiple markets? Does this apply de facto tech companies in other markets like Boeing or Toyota?

That would make the whole thing moot. The crucial difference between AOS and SOA is that the "physical" memory layout is different:

AOS: [xyzw][xyzw][xyzw][xyzw]

vs

SOA: [xxxx][yyyy][zzzz][wwww]

If you have such a layout, a SIMD instruction touching 4 packed words has quite different behavior. Arguably, SIMD is pointless without SOA or AOSOA.

> There's not a lot of "cultural fluency" involved in matching squares

There are a lot of cultural factors involved in believing a seemingly pointless exercise like matching squares is worth doing. You have to believe that something good can come out of it in general; and you have to believe that something good can come out of it specifically for yourself.
No, it has always been this way. As long as I have been alive new communities (gated and non, apartments/condos, and houses) have opted for their own mail room. The USPS has just decided in the last 7.5 years to go along with what was already standard practice. If you build a new house outside of a community/neighborhood and properly have your address registered you will get mail delivered.

You can also require TO home delivery (but you will have to fight your HOA), if you are elderly or infirm. The handful of times HOAs have allowed this, there has typically been backlash toward the resident (anecdotes, not data).
This explanation makes the most sense to me, but there is something that you are leaving out. Not only is Amazon a marketplace, but it is THE marketplace. Amazon has an effective monopoly on small-seller logistics and marketplace services in the United States (and many other places), soup-to-nuts.

If you are anything other than a massive corporation, any manufacturer that chooses not to sell through Amazon and utilize all or most of its services (marketplace listing, payments, warehousing, delivery) will be at a massive cost disadvantage and will not be able to compete with other sellers that do choose to participate with Amazon.

And more significantly, perhaps, if you don't sell through Amazon's marketplace, you are often unable to compete with Amazon itself.

When the "app" in question is essentially a less accessible web page, then I think it's safe to assume something shady is going on.

To be clear, I'm mostly talking about apps that are just a collection of views for a remote API. The only valid reason I can think of for these kinds of apps is because you're an ios/android developer and you're not good at making webpages. In that case, the best tool is the one you know.
I like the Kahneman "Thinking, Fast and Slow" systems concept and I would extend the metaphor using CPU (slow) and GPU (fast). I would agree that the brain is inherently slow, using the CPU metaphor it has an embarrassingly low clock rate. But each tick is supported by brilliant hardware optimization (GPU) so the data throughput and processing per tick (and watt) is remarkable. So yes I agree it is slow, but then the art of a BCI will be interpreting the state changes between these slow ticks that actually represent tremendous amounts of data.
