> For individuals, the only thing we have in this world is time, and it's finite. When it's all gone, it's all over for us. That means time is the most valuable thing possible to individuals.

But this is a difference in degree, not kind. When the average individual buys something online, some individuals may choose to pay a little more for expedited shipping. It's the same principle. More abstractly, if I were to pose an individual looking to purchase Nike shoes 2 options: $100 to get the shoes today, or $1 to get the same shoes a year from now, the majority of individuals would choose the former, rather than the latter. Again, that's because of the time-value of money.

Now, you're correct that not everybody has the means to be able to buy time like this, but one can't conclude from this reality that time is "more valuable than" money.

> Time is what we all want, because sooner or later it runs out.

Yes, this is correct, and it reinforces the argument that time and money are just two currencies that are interchangeable. Money is just a proxy for value, and time is undeniably valuable. Not everybody has enough money to buy 70+ years of "free time", which is why the median person typically trades labor instead of money for future "free time" (retirement). In most countries that offer social security, that's the underlying mechanism: convert mass labor into money (taxes/contribution) which can then be converted into long term investment (sovereign wealth funds, SS trust funds), which is then converted to equally distributed "future free time" for everyone involved.

> Proper algebraic data types, typeclasses + constraints instead of inheritance, good concise syntax -- there are better type systems out there but most people have only used Java/C#

What's ironic is that both Java and C# are getting ADTs (sum types) and pattern matching. Java already gives you exhaustive pattern matching with the upgraded switch statement. I think C# has a proposal for an HKT-like capability, though not sure how far along that is or how much of a priority it is.

Basically because there's 2 major ways to do it: the Windows way and the Unix way (UTF-8). Unicode has the concept of encodings and it doesn't tell you which one to use.

The Unix way is winning on the web, and I think Microsoft has made some moves toward UTF-8, but I don't understand what they are exactly:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_in_Microsoft_Windows#W...

JavaScript and Java inherited the Windows way. Go and Rust use the Unix way (and apparently OCaml too). Python supports both which some say is a needless source of complexity, but it is flexible if you know how to use it.
Congratulations on your launch!

How do you track quality during development, production, product planning and polling for customer satisfaction?

Can you share some thoughts on the current state of quality assurance in the industry in general? Is this an area for product differentiation?
That's great to hear! We've definitely seen an increasing amount of teams separate product copy out into JSONs ("decoupling copy and code"), and we hope Ditto can help them manage that.

The whole supposed premise of golang is that it shuns frameworks. What frameworks do you recommend in golang for such applications?

Property registries are one of those stupid ideas for blockchain. If someone was going to steal your property, they're not going to care what some blockchain says about it.

If you only need an informational registry for well-behaved cooperating parties, you don't need it to be completely trustless. There are many other ways to decentralize storage and ensure consensus when you don't require mexican-standoff level of distrust.
MAP is a factor online too. Google Shopping, Amazon marketplace... All of them have MAP as an input field for data providers that describe products they make. In Google's case, it creates a floor on the value that Shopping will list for the price of a product (though you can sometimes find cheaper via a non-Shopping main page search, or by going through the main portal of an online retailer).

It's worth pointing out that the frame of the argument: that this is horrifyingly dangerous behavior, is actually kinda belied by the facts on the ground. The car wasn't used properly, but it did in fact drive itself safely.

People need to be aware of this kind of circular logic, which was applied in the Texas crash debates too: the fact that there are still safety controls in place on a new feature that isn't quite ready for full autonomy doesn't constitute evidence that the feature is unsafe. That require an entirely different kind of evidence.

And frankly... while everyone keeps circling around the same minutiae about the driver nag... Teslas on autopilot aren't actually crashing. In fact it's been quite a long time now since we've seen a juicy autopilot failure.
In what country are the laptops manufactured?

Which three parts in a laptop have the highest failure rate, and what are those rates?

What I can’t wrap my head around is, a consumer that feels strongly about repairing laptops themselves, for clearly non-economic reasons, but would balk at the cost of a laptop manufactured in the West, which is 100% of the labor the day the laptop ships, because then the computer would cost 3 times as much.
I can't figure out how I'd even say those differently! Anybody got a link to an example?
This is exactly right. It's not as simple as just upgrading tracks for high speed. There's only so far you can go around certain turns. There are also likely limits based on how separated the track is from the surroundings. Going 50mph has less of a risk profile than going 200mph. High speed rail is generally elevated and/or fenced off to avoid animals, peoples and objects that would otherwise be deadly.

The UK has this problem with old rail too.

European rail is quite new, probably thanks in part to the "benefit" of Europe being leveled in the last century. China and Japan have new rail too.

Another difference: populations in Europe, China and Japan are more concentrated. Just look at how many airports there are in the US vs Europe. France, a country of 60M+, has a mere handful of airports. So it's easier to serve more people with less line.

Lastly, construction is (now) super expensive in the US.

Sad as it is, I just don't see long-distance rail as being economically viable in the US.

Sort of, but it's unfair when you're buying booster packs online from folks that might be selling you pre-weighed packs from booster boxes. For this reason, you're really best off only buying booster boxes or individual cards online unless you really trust the seller.

> Maybe treat the NFT as a license of ownership that must be transferred if the card is traded, and let the owner of the NFT reprint the card for a fee in case the card is damaged or otherwise lost

How would you do that - $0 for a card and $300,000 for the license of ownership? Possession of a card is ownership. How would someone even reprint holographic cards? This, unfortunately, isn't doable.
Python didn’t ignore any of those except pattern matching (well, until recently).

What is hard is nobody is willing to make and follow a long term plan. Amtrak has plans since the 1970s to fix those curves. Most of the places that would need to be bought have gone for sale since then - a bit of vision would mean that very little eminent domain would even be needed (not zero - there is always the one family that has lived in the same house for years). Also with the plan, you don't need to do it all at once - fix something every year.

Amtrak hasn't had the vision to stick with the plan. Instead we get a new plan every 10 years or so. Sure the new plan is arguably better, but the old plan complete would be better yet. The money spent making a new plan would fix one of the bad curves (only one though)
> Rust inherits C++ memory model [2], but if you are using the safe subset, then you will never have to think about it.

Small correction, atomics are part of the safe subset of Rust. At a certain point it's important to have a work-a-day knowledge of the memory model with regard to atomic numerics. Dealing with allocated types, now, that's a whole different area and is specialized knowledge.
>The purpose of blockchain is to solve what happens when neither side of a transaction trust the other.

Normally the courts solve this problem, so this is only an issue if one or both parties are operating outside of the law.

Which, for normal financial enterprises trying to do business, creates regulatory problems: Chase can't exactly transact with the PLA without getting bulldozed by regulators, and you can't exactly hide the transaction on blockchain (since its immutable).

In the scenario you describe, there are ways of cheating even in blockchain (51% attack), and there are ways of solving the issue outside of blockchain (military force, embargos).
> There's nothing special about electric cars, there's no magic that will expand the car market by ten fold just because they're EVs;

If Tesla achieves FSD (big if) first, that is indeed some magic that will expand the car market by (not tenfold, but significantly) just because they're Teslas.

FSD semis is precisely some
magic that will increase that market several times. (The fact that they have not actually shipped their human-driven semi yet notwithstanding.)

>but a big company may be big because they are good and people use them, which is good.

I agree in part, but I disagree that 'good' can be a state that applies universally. Personally, I think of it as a tag that you can apply to individual actions on a case-by-case basis. Also, is there any company that has gotten big solely because 'they are good and people use them'?
We already knew in 1981.

"Many years later we asked our customers whether they wished
us to provide an option to switch off these checks in the interests of efficiency on production runs. Unanimously, they urged us not to--they already knew how frequently subscript errors occur on production runs where failure to detect them could be disastrous. I note with fear and horror that even in 1980, language designers and users have not learned this lesson. In any respectable branch of engineering, failure to observe such elementary precautions
would have long been against the law."

It lists the south of ireland (though it's unclear if the author actually just means "not Northern Ireland" by this, as I'd consider it a "western" feature to have thick accents, as does his source) as a possible influence on this. Of the examples given:

* Pin/Pen - Totally distinct
* Marry/Merry/Mary - Mary ~= Merry, totally distinct from Marry.
* Been/Bin - I never thought about this, but even I say "How've you bin", rather than "How've you been"
* Again/Agin - It's a stereotypical elderly farmer accent, but I think even current elderly farmers I know don't have it, so maybe it belongs to a couple generations before that, or even more rural areas.

Some of the videos of elderly Irish people the article mentioned:

https://youtu.be/GT2OVUY2gZY?t=6 - "Shearing sheep, dipping sheep, roasting? sheep, correcting them down off the mountain" - I mean, there's definitely less distinction between how he says sheep with ship, compared to how I would do that or the interviewer does.
If you want a specific card you should buy that specific card. Packs are not designed so you know what is in them. Weighing them seems like petty cheating to me.

Thats just my opinion though, I know moral debates like this are highly subjective.
Without reviewing your profile, I'm just going to guess you're a pilot or you know pilots -- just from this:

> Or—to rewind the causal chain just a little further--pilot hubris, impatience and/or ignorance, which leads to weather being a factor in the first place. The choice to wing it and hope bad weather in the area will not affect you is the pilot’s.

My Dad says "it's always pilot error" and backs them up with statements like this. And he accepts that fault on himself. These are obvious things, too -- in the case of this crash, the pilot was VFR rated and as my Dad harshly put it "had no business being where he was in that weather".

But he really meant everything is the pilots fault. I heard him explaining to someone that there's ultimately no other valid excuse. When his engine failed over Lake Michigan, it was pilot error because he didn't have the necessary instruments to detect a common engine condition that would have prevented him from taking off had he known it was happening.

I think it's a little extreme, but frankly, I want the person flying my plane to have that attitude for themselves!

Maybe card makers should add fluff to match the weights? Like a thin piece of paper in packs without foils?
I don't know.

Maybe it's related to the thing that's confusing me. I thought I had learned that this shouldn't be possible; that Tesla vehicles won't 'autopilot' without a person in the driver's seat. This story and those claims can't both be simultaneously true unless this case involved some defeat device to allow autopilot without a driver.

The claim that autopilot can't operate without someone in the drivers seat was a key point made by Tesla advocates (including the media ones) attempting to debunk the narrative around a recent crash that killed two people while they were supposedly in the back seat.
Your third point is a good one. It would take a very clever reframing so the public understands the rationale, although it's doubtful that could ever happen.

Regarding your second point, how does this become more of a concern when corporate tax rates are low? If a company buys an employee a car using pretax income, that will be tax free regardless of the capital gains or corporate tax rates.
And if even the volume makers barely have the stuff available, always sold out immediately, you think they'd have an easier time?
I did that with Magic. It was super fun, specially because I sucked at deck building and also didn't want to spent all my money trying to get cards that could (not) be useful to me
We actually already do this. See this job description: https://acpol2.army.mil/fasclass/search_fs/search_fs_output....

This would generally be responsible for paying parties that actually trust you, using Treasury checks and possibly small amounts of cash, but there is an equivalent position within the uniformed Finance Corps where you pay untrusted parties who also don't trust you. For that purpose, you deliver extremely large briefcases full of cash. Basically, the same idea as a drug deal where the buyer and seller don't trust each other. Everything is transacted in cash, and both parties are carrying a lot of guns. This is generally how we make payments to local warlords in theaters of combat where they are not by any means an internationally recognized legitimate authority you can make any kind of a treaty with, but you need to buy their cooperation anyway.

As for trusting they'll actually deliver what you're buying, again, that's what the guns are for.

Heck, as it stands right now just for normal consumers, buyers and sellers don't need to trust each other. They just need a legal authority who can prosecute each side and they need to trust that legal authority. Barring that, they need an extra legal authority they trust with guns.

As it stands, the obvious limitation of a blockchain is it only helps if your transaction is solely the exchange of data stored on the blockchain itself. Otherwise, you're back to the same issue. The fact that a transaction is recorded on a ledger doesn't mean either party actually received the goods they expected, and it doesn't mean they have any means of remediation, legal or otherwise, if they don't. The fact that a ledger says you own something doesn't mean you're in possession of it, and it doesn't mean the party that is in possession of it has to give it to you.

> Is my understanding correct in that a "Pane" is essentially a UI component?

Yes — it is essentially a UI component (and the only node that represents UI).

> And I am assuming there are tests to catch cases where a new pane is defined in the backend, but not in the SDK (or I suppose, how do you deal with any discrepancy)?

Great question! Because we use proto, the SDK and the backend share the same pane definitions. So we can't have a case where they don't match in the repo. However, SDKs that have already shipped obviously can't be updated with new panes. To handle this, we have a piece of the backend service called the "dispatcher" whose job it is to look at the initial /start request and determine which workflow should be used for that specific client.

Let's say a very old Android SDK is issuing a /start request. The dispatcher knows the version of the SDK requesting a workflow and programmatically can determine which major version of workflow graphs it supports, and pick an appropriate (older) workflow to send back where we know all panes are supported by the SDK.

We also have an escape hatch where the backend can tell an older SDK "actually, you're so old you should fallback on a webview implementation to get the latest and greatest experience".
They don't hand-pick miners at the end of the day- it's an on-chain vote (by token-holders and I'm sure they own a large sum so point taken).

Maybe not the best example- I'm not too familiar with the structure and they definitely over-hype everything about the project. Still the parallel is there of making a centralized thing more accessible / open to more market participants.
The next paragraph explains the return on capital for the various projects. This varies per-project and whether you include societal benefit or not. From a strictly financial return on capital perspective, the figures range from 15% to 4%, with the new Bordeaux-Toulouse likely to be under that.
