OTOH, this is where I can see the biggest benefits from building a language/system around the article’s approach. You’d really like to execute a lot of the logic on the DB (or some other distributed system) which needs to be deeply integrated with the DB to be as convenient and expressive as pulling the data and operating locally.
Can confirm that you cannot use the app with logging in with a Reddit account.

Just yesterday, I got tired of the annoying "use the app or login" messages when tapping to view more comments on a post, so I caved and installed the app - given the language of the nag, I thought I wouldn't have to login, and the Reddit UX of constant full-page reloads just to view more comments is such a joke I figured the app had to be better.

But no, you have to login with a Reddit account to use the app :/
I think a lot about how we amass 'knowledge' all our life, then at one point we grow old/die and most of it is 'lost' unless we've written a book etc.. passed it down w/ someone else who has done the 'work' to have it transferred etc..

I wonder in say.. year 2155, the learning 'curriculum' for whatever tech thats going to exist then.... will be super streamlined and powerful.
You need to be a slave to the system, always chasing the next shiny thing, who will bankroll useless material consumption otherwise? People don't save for rainy days and when things go south, everything collapses and the system is too fragile.
While I agree with you that it does seem particularly wasteful and silly, I think you would benefit from some introspection into your own "dumb" culturally-motivated behaviors, or those of "normal" secular society. As just one instance, aren't engagement and weddings rings expensive and dumb by your measure?

The case I was thinking about was specific to the airtag. In this case a fixed voice coil moves a small permanent magnet attached to the diaphragm rather than the other way around (according to iFixit, quote below). So maybe a rare earth magnet oriented the right way could prevent the magnet from moving. There’s an air gap so it will have to wait until I can do an experiment.

Note from iFixit:

> Did you notice the “button” on the underside of the cover? That’s not a clickable button, like the Mate and SmartTag have, but rather the magnet we saw earlier in the X-ray. It sits right inside the donut-shaped logic board, nested into a coil of copper to form a speaker. You read that right—the AirTag’s body is essentially a speaker driver. Power is sent to the voice coil, which drives the magnet mounted to the diaphragm—in this case, the plastic cover where the battery lives—which makes the sounds that lead you to your lost luggage.
But how about the results of which pickup sounds he preferred?
Thanks for clarifying, and really sorry that you had to go through all of that. As I read, I see that there were many factors at play, some of them personal, some of them cultural -- in my country, the health insurance doesn't depend on employer, for example. But on the other hand, I also saw some people here killing themselves to work, mostly not to let down others.

I was often the only girl in my comp sci classes, though not always. I always thought it was interesting to see how my fellow female peers handled the extra attention. Some of them leaned into it and were always surrounded by mediocre male peers eager to "help" them. They would pretty much always defer to their posse of helpers and get praise for being a team player.

My strategy was pretty much the polar opposite though. I found that if I could one-up my male peers early in the course, most of the annoying ones would be too intimidated to bother me. It worked out pretty well too. The ones who weren't intimidated tended to be better at the coursework anyhow. So when I needed to partner up, I would pick one of them - and I wouldn't have to worry about them not respecting me or anything. If it was a random pairing with one of the ones who was uncomfortable around me, that actually worked fine too. They usually let me take the leadership role, and I didn't mind that either. I didn't get points for being agreeable, but nobody doubted my competency - and that was all I really wanted.

I can definitely see how women who aren't comfortable doing either of the things described above would transfer away.

The post doesn't say "all outsourcing is bad", and your 3 examples are all companies that (as far as I can tell) are very deliberate about what they outsource and deliberate about keeping control of the things they want to keep doing:
NVIDIA is not going to go out to someone else and say "we want a GPU chip", but rather they are designing them end-to-end to make full use of what their production partners can do.

iPhones are built in China, but Apple keeps tight control over how they are built. They control and manage the supply chain, they buy companies making tools used to make iPhones to keep control over this. They operate the cloud service stack around them. They made massive investments into doing more themselves: building a world-class CPU design group to get independence from what other SoC makers offer them. They are now leveraging that to outsource less of the Macbook design: move away from outsourcing CPU design and production to Intel, to design inhouse.

They understand very well what the post warns about: If they stop being involved with these parts of the process, they will a)likely fall back and b) have a terrible time trying to recover the ability if they need to, so they only outsource selected parts of their work. The breaking points are further down the curve, and they stay the hell away from them.

One could argue that Apple's attempts at making Macs in the US again are an example of how difficult it is to reclaim such ability, even if the company still has the know-how to oversee it. Especially since nearly everybody else in California also has stopped doing this kind of thing - Apple would need to train people a lot. Which Apple at least can afford, if they want to.
The problem is that the definition of "just for your needs" lasts about a year, max, and then your needs change. Businesses are constantly re-organizing and engaging in process engineering, and this creates rapidly changing needs. Go through this a few times and at some point you will get the bright idea that you need to create some DSL/platform metaframework to allow customers to auto-configure what "just for your needs" means or else you will be buried in a pile of feature requests that your tool doesn't have but the competitor does. And then third parties will come along and you'll want to package their work to create pluggable tools that customers can install. Then you'll spin up app store.

Then throw in all the regulatory and compliance stuff that businesses need to trust storing their data with you. Add EU regulations and you will end up building data centers in different parts of the world. Then you will want to spin up training to use your custom DSP. And localization packs. Then you will need APIs to pull data in and out as customers will fear lock-in and they'll want you to integrate nicely with some other service. Then you have to figure out how those APIs work with your metalanguage. Then other customers will demand the ability to reskin everything with their corporate logos, custom login screens, support for SMS and two factor auth, support for third party identity providers, scripts to enroll/unenroll users, admins will want scripting platforms to manage all the complexity created by adding the other features, Etc.

In German, I think their full name is Laugenbrezel. The full name may not be much used[1] colloquially, because it's implied -- but bread rolls made the same way are definitely called Laugenbrötchen.

"Lauge" is German for "lye". They're called that because they're made with it.

[1]: Though when I switched my phone keyboard to German just now to test it out, the predictive spelling corrector suggested "Laugenbrezel", not "-brötchen", when I'd got as far as "Laugenb".
For much of doge's existence, it was worth practically nothing and still has very low trading volumes compared to BTC, so you can't easily get in and get out of a position. Tesla was able to sell 200M$ worth of BTC relatively easily, can't necessarily do the same with Doge.
I see, so the limitation is that app updates have to keep using the same key, and that's enforced by the OS? Couldn't the Play Store uninstall then reinstall in that situation, to update to the new key?

Dunno, I can't speak with certainty that I wouldn't stay and leave, as everything depends on the situation, but switching to a less demanding job and lower pay seems as something that would benefit me in the long run. My mental health and family are worth any price difference, that is, they can't pay me that much to stay in a shitty situation.
Sure, not having any hard skills at all disqualifies, but at some point you are good enough to do work and the social ability becomes the bottleneck.

With older versions of Android, what Google could do was pretty limited (in terms of messing with the core OS). While Google Play Services has a lot permissions, it all fits into Android's permission model and does not run as root. Package installation is done via communication with the Android framework's PackageManager class and the corresponding /system/bin/installd daemon. Silent installations and automatic updates are also handled via PackageManager using a permission that system apps can obtain.

Overwriting most core OS files (eg. shared libraries) in a persistent way, even with an exploit, would be difficult since the entire /system and /vendor volumes are signed using the device manufacturer's dm-verity keys.

However, with Android 10+ shipping with APEX modules [0], Google's ability to push core OS changes to existing devices might be changing. I'm not sure if any devices ship with the unflattened (ie. updatable) type of APEX modules yet, but I'd suspect these would be signed by Google instead of the device manufacturer and would be distributed through Google Play.

To elaborate on my snark, this doesn't work because:

- Whitelisting my messaging app means I'd still get pinged for non-emergency messages

- Enforcing the block at the software level makes it too easy for me to disable it when the temptation arises. My current setup forces me to walk upstairs, flip the switch, then wait multiple minutes for the router to boot.

It would also take a lot more effort to set up, and time is money!
On further consideration, "perfectly fine" was a poor way of saying something more along the lines of "not fraudulent".

It's hard for me to think of anything less niche than "like being at Stanford" given the extreme, tech-focused, affluent, bourgeois-as-fuck description that implies.

The average person doesn't want to spend hours listening to thought leaders who are in love with their own voice pontificating randomly on topics that don't affect or address their lives in any way. To believe that they will to such an extent that A16Z is willing to give them a $4B given zero revenue, declining traction, and no clear business shows that all you need to do to gain ever-increasing valuations in the tech world is to serve up the exact kind of frou-frou, nebulous bullshit that you wrote and that VCs eat up.

Currently in a CS grad program at a Top engineering school, MBA next?
I am currently a graduate student studying computer science at a pretty selective engineering program (Top 25 engineering)(Top 10 overall national ranking). My end goal is to build an objectively successful business (nice cash flow with little overhead). I am not looking to become some sort of startup billionaire wannabe. I feel very insecure because my undergrad is particularly weak with shite grades and the degree overall. That insecurity breeds a weird desire for me to get an MBA. I know this seems very status based and it very well may be, but any advice on if an MBA even makes sense for me, even if it is just for my ego?

I like the toaster example. It reminds me of this: http://www.solipsys.co.uk/new/TheParableOfTheToaster.html

He mentions the Dreamliner. That project is kind of a poster child for how not to do stuff, but I suspect that many of the problems came about as a result of cultural hysteresis. The engineers and managers were good, but inexperienced in development of such a loosely-coupled project.

I agree with the premise of the talk. In the US, we are facing the same issue with manufacturing. It’s actually impossible to do some types of manufacturing in the US. We’ve crossed the Rubicon. Alea jacta est.

Another app that does the same thing is SkySend: https://skysend.hns.siasky.net

However the difference I am seeing with SkyTransfer -- it operates more like Dropbox/GDrive; your uploaded files are displayed on a shareable download link, rather than only supporting one-off uploads like SkySend.

Both services are identical in that they encrypt files before storing them (somewhere) on Sia Skynet for approximately 3 months: https://support.siasky.net/key-concepts/faqs#how-long-does-d...

depends on the derivative. I can't make a story about hogwarts. But I can make a story about a girl with a scar who gets enrolled in a magical academy. And I probably just described 20 works with that description. But I think the legal definition of "derivative work" isn't that loose.

The more gray areas for derivative work is stuff like fan art, translations, and remixes. All are technically in the area to be copyright'd, but at the same time it also helps publishers in essentially being free, natural advertisement.
The can probably is OK because opening it does not materially change the thing. If it had an attached cover that you had to tear off, would be different business. Padlocks I'd say look ok but then for an observant Jew there wouldn't be too many regular Shabbat activities that require dealing with padlocks. Doors are certainly ok, I've seen observant Jews opening (and closing) doors on Shabbat many times. Of course, if a particular door has e.g. an electronic sensor there might be complications... But again, as an observant Jew you probably wouldn't find yourself in a place with such doors on Shabbat.

But the proper way to address this question is to ask your rabbi of course. If you're an observant Jew, you have one. If he says it's OK then it's OK, if he says it's not then it's not. Sometimes they disagree, and sometimes the disagreement grows big so some strict people for example only eat food that has the Kosher stamp of a specific authority and not the others, and so on.

>Savings are a drag on the economy

Savings don't sit in a vault somewhere. They get reinvested into the economy, providing capital.
On one hand, I think the world would be much better off if people generally understood the hidden privacy cost of using "free" platforms like this... but I'm not thrilled at Facebook quietly threatening to start charging money if people don't keep allowing their data to be harvested.
I agree with the observation of how things are (high on outsourcing, low on tech & talent). I do disagree with how things got there.

In a competitive market, when you outsource, you get immediate costs savings. If your competitor outsourced more things than you have, you'll be at a financial disadvantage for some amount of time before the "innovation debt" catches up. That can be decades - the quality of the outsourced parts can remain equivalent or superior for quite a while (or even perpetually, in case of fuses).

A similar thing happens with companies that do actually want to innovate. All of them are spending all available resources competing with each other, that the R&D for big tech projects simply cannot happen without external intervention or external funding. Historically, none of the well-staffed and well-funded research labs have been funded by companies whose products are a commodity.
