Cheap launches means means satellite prices will go down. Satellites were expensive before because why bust your ass to shave a few million off here and there when you are paying $200 million to launch the damn thing?

I believe this has already started happening. Of course, improvements in electronics technologies in general have played a huge role as well.

I don't understand the hand-wringing around Apple using App Store purchases to inform drive App Store advertising. I expect companies to do this, and would arguably be disappointed if they didn't.

Google can and should use my search history to inform my search results. Instagram can and should use my posting history and follows to inform the advertisements I see in my home feed.

What is concerning is when purchases I make in some random third party app are used to inform advertisements I see on Facebook. This is surprising and invasive.
Fantastic price if it is the full cost of running the car. Pretty bad deal if it is the marginal cost on top of having to own and operate the car and have to pay for the hardware to run the AP when you buy the car.

I get why subscriptions are a thing for access to a continuously maintained and improved software product. I just hate that they are trying to pin it on incremental use instead of access.

To me this feels too much like if Netflix tried to charge per hour consumed. I don't rent movies anymore because I like having access to a library. I feel the same way about my car. I bought a proper 4x4 because I need the ability to access high clearance low traction areas, and I paid for that upfront in the cost of the vehicle. I don't want to pay an extra $8/hr to use those features after already paying for them.
I'm not sure Apple was as open about advertising how their network functions.
> for most it'll be subsistence in disguise

I fear the world is already going this way. As a person approaching 30, most of my peers who did not stumble into lucrative tech careers are not doing well. Student debts still not paid off, working crappy paid jobs full time to rent cheap apartments, savings barely appearing let alone down payments for nice housing.

It doesn't surprise me to see the corporations lean into "services" and subscriptions; they are a great resource extractor
Subscription style might be the only stomach-able model if the car company is going to be liable for "driving your car for you", almost like additional insurance only for when the fleet is operating in self-driving mode, and standard warranty terms when the car is operated by the user or idle.
That's actually a pretty good idea. I don't see a problem with this. Virtual cab driver for your own car.
I did not know that.

Is the "smart features" actually making money for the TV manufacturers?

A good question to think about. How can we, as consumers, incentivize the TV manufactures to focus on building good product that actually liked by users, and still making good money.

Very difficult to answer though...
Well, yes, but, at the same time, telling someone their argument has effectively been "debullshitted" isn't exactly the nicest, least-confrontational way to tell them you have a strong counter-argument either, is it.
I don't think I would want that if I have to pay for the car on top of that, although I can see it being useful for long road trips - a drive to Chicago is about 5 and a half hours for me and $40-50 is about what I would pay in gas to get there, but I don't think I would feel too good about paying it, which would impact my brand relationship long term.

While a bit of a tangent I think this is a wonderful exploration on reasoning how complex writing things down can be. Remembering a dream is a very apt comparison, it all fragments and falls apart the more you try to put it together. I believe this is why writing can be so powerful though. It forces you to connect and clarify everything.

With all of this said it's incredible that people are able to post on social media often. It's a crushing amount of mental energy. You could chalk it up to others not being critical thinkers but that just feels like a subconscious way to insult them and simultaneously compliment yourself.

I had to tell my girlfriend when we first started dating that I usually see her texts within moments of getting them. However if I don't respond soon then I'm not trying to play mental games, build tension or whatever. I need time to formulate a response and type it out. When she sees me text others she is appalled at how difficult it is for me. I can coordinate plans, answer a short question or relay facts with no effort. The second it becomes a conversation or small talk I just lock up. This is with everybody not just someone I'm attracted to.
Pretty soon it will be considered anti-social or outdated to want to own your own independent vehicle that isn’t managed by centralized software systems or rented monthly. This is already largely the case with music and other digital products.

It really worries me that the next generation of automobiles seems anti-decentralization by design.

The premise of this article just ruined self driving for me. Right or wrong, I always imagined the self-driving future as something the car just does.

You buy a car, you get air conditioning, self driving and windshield wipers. A subscription for this feels toxic.

I understand your frustration with downvotes but it's not too bad in general in my experience. It's Apple discussions in particular that are hopeless, you have the rabid fanboys one one side and the rabbit haters on the other.

> Instead of pitching a fit at Cloudflare, encourage and promote positive views of Tor-based browsing

I don't know if the person to whom you are replying is using Tor, but I'm definitely not and I also despise how Cloudflare--or their customers, but I have no way of differentiating the two--reacts to various things.

My home ISP is a very small outfit that mainly serves apartment buildings in my area. I don't know why, but every three or so weeks, Cloudflare decides that my ISP is a massive pile of risk and starts shunting almost every request I make through their "analysing your browser please be patient" screen. It's nothing specific to my computer because if I flip on a tunnel through my server in a colocation service in the same city as me, I get zero prompts.

I've worked with my ISP and they've basically given me free reign to assign myself whatever public IP I want out of their /22 (as long as it's not in use by another customer, of course) and, during these times, any IP I choose gets the same response from Cloudflare.

It's the same lack of transparency and being able to say "hey, what gives" that applies to spam filtering by the big e-mail providers or getting dropped into the "scam likely" bucket for mobile phone calls. I understand the need to filter and screen and protect but that doesn't mean I have to like it when it splashes onto me.
Yeah, decent sampling for requests that last 10s of ms seems absolutely feasible with this approach, unlike the current setitimer(2) stuff.

I'm really looking forward to taking it for a spin soon and see how far the sampling rate can be pushed without introducing noticeable overhead in practice!
Probably. I used to commute a stressful ~40 mins by car and would happily spend $6 to be able to read or nap on the way home.

I'd definitely pay more to use someone else's self-driving car (and insurance liability, more importantly).
No, the actual limitation is that you can’t implement a JIT compiler. You can’t create executable memory blocks unless you have a special entitlement only Apples Javascript engine has.

Even using that engine your app must be self contained, you can’t download extra code, no matter the language.

As your link says:

> Apps should be self-contained in their bundles, and may not read or write data outside the designated container area, nor may they download, install, or execute code which introduces or changes features or functionality of the app, including other apps.
> where we own nothing and rent everything

This is literally the "dream" of many - see the World Economic Forum's predictions about the future. It's a great dream for those doing the renting of stuff, and a nightmare for everyone else.

That's... pretty good. Cannot even object.
The best pre-covid estimate I could find for annual driving time is 18 days/adult/year. At 8.5$/hr, that works out to $3,672/year for the average adult.

Tesla charges $10k for their software upgrade to ~level 2 driving. So roughly 3 years to the break-even point, if the service is the same.
whose tech are they repackaging this time?

What I think is far more likely is that in the near future, assuming some part of humanity survives the sustainability crisis (very likely), it will be mind boggling to everyone how so many people consistently underestimated how important it was to solve the problem when we could.
> Politics is eating the world. Everything is forced to be looked through the eyes of clans and governance

When was this not the case - ever? Perhaps it didn't seem like "politics" for you in the past.
Indeed. I have no qualms about using the word in its intended use. Even if I do consider it a bit unnecessarily rude.
Is it needless? Right now car ownership has a lot of extra costs for your normal, middle-class American

* Car payment
* Insurance payment
* Maintenance costs
* Parking costs
* Possible tolls
* Repairs
* Possibly roadside assistance
* Property tax (in some jurisdictions)

These are all costs of ownership. For people who own very cheap cars, or who can afford to pay cash for cars, it may be costly, but for many others, it may, in fact, streamline quite a few costs that they're already absorbing and managing.
Unfortunately, the Wikipedia article (that I wrote many years ago) is way out of date :-(

Take my money!

Seriously, I don't want any screens in my home that don't respect the user.

This means privacy. It also means I don't want any branding. I don't want any logos visible, either on the case or when the screen powers on.

I want the screen to be completely controlled by my Apple TV. It should implement HDMI-CEC or whatever protocol is necessary such that it does not ship with a remote control of its own. (I have had trouble with various displays requiring me to keep their stupid remote control around.)

It should have no visible lights on the case. When the screen is off, I don't want any lights at all distracting me.

How much do I need to pay for this? Every time I ask a genius at an Apple store, they have no idea.
I believe it! My mom would always tell me about how she would do the same, as a teenager learning to program on her Commodore 64.

Funnily enough though, memory constraints were still relevant for me and some of my friends - since Ti-83 calculators were the first exposure to programming for many of us. It helped that we were all required to buy them, so we could collaborate and copy over programs to each other. I would write programs so I wouldn't have to memorize chemistry stuff in HS. The teachers back then never checked, and they expected us to use calculators for normal calculations anyhow.

By the time I was using real code in college though - I agree. Performance optimization like that was taught as more of a "nice to have", and the only classes where it really mattered were assembly, and one elective I took on game engine development.

I am always shocked that a craft store has 100+ kinds of acrylic yarn and maybe one or two wool yarns if that.

It seems a grandmother will spend 20 hours knitting a scarf and not care that they can make a much better product for a few $ more in materials.

In other case synthetic materials be might really better, but for knitted scarfs, sweaters, and such it no contest. One material will protect you from fire by forming a char (wool) and the other will melt and transport heat right to your skin and make sure you get burned.

We see a lot of this too. We offer a competitor to SaaS identity providers and some customers pick us because the software can run in a certain country. The customer can run it or we can run it (there are limits on the supported country in the latter case).

Global SaaS is awesome, but there are cases where data sovereignty trumps that and locality is a key feature.

It'll be interesting to see the sophistication of the applications that are built on top of Cloudflare, which combines both.
If someone told you that they need to restrict freedom of speech to increase the security of the state you'd probably be rightly miffed.

This same argument is being used to stifle my freedom to run the programs that I want to run on a device I supposedly own. My freedom.

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

Example:
I want an Apple Watch. Requires an apple phone to operate. I can't run open source apps I use daily on iOS. Ergo facto no liberty.

This reminds me about a time when some geneticists tried to find genes associated with a particular disease, to try to unravel why it occurs. Complex trait, no single answer, so they genotyped thousands of people with and without the disease, and ran the stats. And... nothing.

What has one common name is actually several similar diseases, and the geneticists would have known that if they paid attention to the clinicians. Listening and incorporating knowledge is key.

Hey folks!

We built this Chrome Extension as an alternative to screensharing. The big difference vs "video screen-sharing" besides bandwith and latency is the interactivity. Duckly recreates and keeps in sync the DOM from the shared site to an iframe on the other peers so it feels like you're browsing the remote site from your own browser. We use it a lot for sharing pages hosted on localhost and writing emails or browsing kanban boards together.

This extension has been built by mainly leveraging MutationObserver APIs [1], Chrome Extension APIs, a lot of browser events, and WebRTC! All the data is always sent with P2P and E2E encrypted with WebRTC, so it never touches any kind of server. You can read more details of how it works internally on the "How does it work?" section here [2].

Btw, we launched here 8 months ago as GitDuck [3], we decided to change the name to Duckly because other profiles than developers started using it (or could be using but the tool was marketed for developers only) [4]. As a nice side-effect, we get rid of the possible conflict with Git's trademark [5].

That would be great for our current needs. I work from home, and we drive maybe 10 000 km annually. Let's calculate with 50km/h because a lot of that is not on the highway. So 200 hours * $8.50 = $1600

I agree, but I'm afraid the argument that the post is making is not based on a logical series of steps. It doesn't follow the typical convention of observation, problem, evidence, conclusion. The post is substantially an emotional outpouring and a call to action. This changes the dialectics.

If you're going to create a central claim that is solely Pathos based, the tone and semantics of how you do so become the most important thing in your argument and, to your point, this is why this post comes off so _wrong_. The post author failed at convincing this audience in large part because of their tone and semantics.

Would you? At 2x the price (based on the last time I bought one of them) for just the panel, plus an apple tv ($200) plus a speaker/soundbar (let's say $500) - and you're not getting an OLED with ARC at that either.
Very interesting points about mutex profiles. When you say fast path, do you mean spin locks?

For analyzing I/O via perf and looking at kernel stacks, I'm surprised that would work. I'd think that perf will not show you much waiting on the network, because the netpoller implementation in Go uses epoll and friends to make that non-blocking under the hood. For disk I/O it probably works. Maybe I'm missing something?
Then what is the NSA doing?
Uhm.

A company I know decided to switch to electric cars as soon as practical and buy emissions offsets until then. Buying that wasn't at all difficult. They haven't yet bought any electric cars (they need vans).

This article seems to argue that if buying offsets and not replacing the cars, ever would be impossible if everyone tried to do it. But who cares? That's hardly a real option. Buying offsets appears doable for subset of possible buyers who seriously consider buying, as much as they want to and until they find the option they prefer.

Robbery!
In the US, Uber is an order of magnitude more expensive. For comparison I did a few Uber trips from Palo Alto, CA to downtown SF. It's about 45 miles (~70KM) I think and took tad under an hour. Uber charged me somewhere between $50-$60.

In India, on the other hand in a metro city you can cover between 20KM-30KM in an hour for which Uber charges around $7 (i.e., ~ INR 500).

I've also written about this publicly before, e.g. https://mail.python.org/archives/list/typing-sig@python.org/..., where I found a number of errors by tweaking pytype in a way to make it stronger. It's difficult to quantify what percentage of bugs would have been found anyway, but pretty much any time the type systems I work with improve, it uncovers new bugs.

Well, the thing is that if you say "privacy-first", you are pitching to people who care about this sort of thing. For these people the fact that uFincs is not self-hosted is an instant no-go. And for people who don't see it as a problem, the privacy angle doesn't matter much either. See the disconnect? You have a good product, for sure, but the pitch needs a revision.
