TL,DR: Japanese went through this cycle as well. And I would say Chinese too, by now.
... and there went any interest in Rome, Paris, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Madrid, Lisbon, Warsaw, and Vienna in subsidizing that fab's construction.
You cannot backup power a whole modern fab, unless you build a small power station just for it.

UPSes there are just to keep cleanroom clean, and most critical processes which can't be gracefully shut down.

Again - the issue is that this breaks default layout. Obviously any keyboard with at least 33 keys will be enough for me to just place the alphabet on them. The problems is that this breaks everything.

Anyhow - after a bunch of keyboards all I can say is that 60-65% ones are the best. I get everything I need - not more, no less.

You claim that this rebranding effort is not for any tangible benefit, but the article itself gives good reasons. It clearly isn't "reworking the logo every few years to keep it fresh" since the change is unnoticeable. But the new logo is better for low-quality printing and low-pixel displays.

> When figuring out our new styles, we connected with over 26,000 members of the community to ask what Discord means to them. We got your feedback and direction on style, colors, and even the way we talk about Discord.

While I disagree with you, and think that this more colorful and expressive palette and font better conveys the kind of community Discord is targeting (for hobbies, for games, with a playground community vibe), perhaps the rebranding effort's engagement alone is worth it.

Apart from Venus which is quite interesting, indeed, but very challenging goal, I hope there will be better exploration of Mercury, since it's rich in iron and closest to the Sun. It is a perfect fit for systematic monitoring of Sun's activity. Moreover, such proximity would make the energy density a big advantage in terms of the mission lifetime.

I feel like people are deliberately misreading the scenario we’re talking about in my parent post. The GP wasn’t saying there were one off tabs, but ones used at least once a week. My point is more that to just get through these regular ones you’re in a bit of a doom cycle before you visit anything new.
Thanks for following up.

Because I wanted to ask why he would be so mean to you. That insecurity part answers that.
Yes, there absolutely is. Fortunately, Tesla does not sell any automated driving capable cars. All of their systems are classified as “Level 2,” meaning that they are driver assistance systems and the human driver must always be in full command of the vehicle.

To sell a higher level autonomous system, which today is only available in very limited trials e.g. Waymo, you have to collect massive amounts of safety data and submit to each state for approval.

Now, back to Tesla - NHTSA is definitely watching them with interest, and if the data show that Tesla’s marketing is inducing people to not pay attention and have accidents, they will take action.
I wonder if the end of chip performance improvements could cause a short term boost in manufacturing investment and sales. Instead of chip investments in products and data centers surely becoming obsolete in a few years, useable lifetimes could be measured in decades if the chip designs and performance are not expected to change. If you can get 30 years out of a data center investment instead of 5, you can spend a lot more money and amortized it for longer.
>The EU exported over 200 million doses. If the EU wanted, they could've issued an export ban like the US did.

Please stop repeating this lie. There is and has never been a US vaccine export ban, and the US has not seized vaccines meant for other countries.

The Trump administration last year signed gigantic contracts for every planned vaccine (Operation Warp Speed), because no one knew which ones would work. Like, enough for every American from one manufacturer, let alone the current four major available ones. More importantly, the contracts guaranteed the US the earliest deliveries.

The UK signed a similar contract for the AstraZeneca vaccine. The EU and Canada did not assure themselves of such quantities; as RcouF1uZ4gsC said, the former wasted time by trying to get a better price. Canada also bet on CanSino, a Chinese vaccine, because it was afraid that the US would ban vaccine exports (which, again, never happened). Of course, the Chinese did not live up to the contract.

Before you say "But what about—", the Trump executive order from December 2020 merely sets up the legal framework to prohibit exports if desired. But that does not mean that the framework is invoked. Let me repeat: The US signed contracts that were a) huge in size/scope and b) from every pharmaceutical company working on a vaccine, which c) got the country the largest and among the first deliveries. The UK did the same thing with the AstraZeneca vaccine, and spent a lot of money to retool domestic plants to produce it.

If the situation were different, might the US have implemented a ban on exports, similar to what the EU did implement recently? Perhaps. But, fortunately, the US never faced this issue, because of the huge amounts of money it invested a year ago and the contracts it signed with said money.

I don't think you can say that the West ignored Crimea. There are still sanctions against Russia and they are not going to be lifted anytime soon. The thing about Crimea is that it's in a slatemate where neither side can displace each other without sacrificing huge resources. So it's basically at the same place for years.

The problem with invading Tawian is that there is a basically a single place where you can land ships on from China. Tawian been preparing for an invasion for years. This means this single point is heavily defended and anyone attacking is on a huge disadvantage. This means there is a huge price to pay to take Tawian and even if you do, there would likely be sanctions from the West.

I wonder if there are any gropus out there anymore with the intention of becoming successful by making good product for users, serving the client?
I read articles like this, stories like yours, talk to startup owners recruiting who answer "Sold to someone." when you ask them "Where do you see your company in 5 years?" and I have doubt the product and users are in focus. And organizations proud themself being series n founded next to or before the success of their product (which many time is just missing in fact). Seems like product and users, the functionality is an unavoidable circumstance only, one of the many, something to consider like office space or tax returns.
I don't know why but somehow the Boeing story comes to mind, how they shifted focus from engineering to business in the passenger plane line when McDonnell Douglas managers bought themselfs into Boeing management with Boeing's money. And the 737 MAX.
Exactly, there are lots of targets in lots of countries (thinking of things like nuclear plants) that would cause a similar reaction.
Because they aren’t testing it, it’s a driver assistance system that is not capable of driving a car, and a human must always be in command of the vehicle. If a human were driving this car, they would have seen they were about to plow into an overturned car and hit the brakes or swerved.

But that’s not how Tesla likes to market autopilot …

I actually love menial tasks like doing dishes, laundry, cleaning etc., because I can just listen to podcasts or audiobooks that I really find entertaining. With exercise, that's not possible, I cannot focus on it.

It's actively boring.
The thing is that there are optimizations for all those things already. Most people just do not want to use them as the cost is too high.

>They had a much harder time hiring mobile developers than web developers...

It's not hard at all to find mobile devs, just offer more money. Mobile devs cost more, that's right.

But I think that's because mobile development is significantly harder (personal first-hand experience).
So what? Taiwan being annexed by China sounds quite terrible for the Taiwanese, but the US does lots of business with China, continued to during the Hong Kong crisis and would continue to if there was a Taiwan crisis, so it's not like these chip fabs, TSMC or the business relationship would be that much at risk. The show would go on, which is probably why the US doesn't fear investment into TSMC.

Other people have called this the greatest strength of Nintendo: build stuff with slightly older parts that are cheap and proven to work, so that you don't have to sell at a loss

That aside, I'm in the process of designing an USB gadget and I find process shrinks quite pesky. Of course it'll reduce production costs for the manufacturer of the IC but it also reduces flanking times which causes more electromagnetic interference issues for me.

So insisting on using large ICs built using old process nodes is a very valid decision if you work in an area where reliability trumps a $0.001 per piece cost saving. Like in cars, robots, or industrial machines.

That said, I see it more and more that German companies outsource all of their production until they eventually have so little building skills left inside their building that innovation stops. It's kind of the same issues that drove Boing to recycle old designs, but in Europe it's happening with thousands of small companies, instead of one big one.
I agree with you, I just didn't word it successfully.
Bittorrent also has a DHT, which you can use instead of (or as well as) tracking servers.

Perhaps the key difference is that torrents (targets for magnet links) can't link to other torrents, at least not in a way the protocol is aware of. Each torrent swarm is something of an island. IPFS is more like one big graph ("web") of documents/files.

Facebook and WhatsApp those platforms are the stickers and memes runaway mecca, so people day by day enjoy all this data but this data is getting fat those platforms just because people love feed on trendy graphic data, so that makes so popular both apps.

Not directly. But people who claim it can never happen demonstrate dangerous overconfidence. Some are already starting to soften their tone: https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2021/05/further-evidence-off...

I don't even understand why they're so insistent. They're risking far more harm than they could ever prevent:

1) If they're so anxious about preserving trust and credibility wrt vaccines, don't make absolutist claims unless you can prove impossibility. Perfect proof isn't needed, but "I can't see how it could happen" isn't even close to that. The medical community has already made multiple such blunders. See, e.g., claims that SARS-CoV-2 couldn't possibly be transmissible by aerosol; claims which were based on generally accepted yet bad science. In fact, the community had already made that same blunder years earlier with Ebola: https://mbio.asm.org/content/6/2/e00137-15 Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice... that's how you lose credibility forever.

2) More importantly, what does it matter if it happens on exceptionally rare occasion? Or even regularly for that matter? The disease does exactly that.

3) Also, they're lending credence to the anxi-vaxxer narrative by implicitly accepting the premise that anything that modifies your DNA is suspect. In defending mRNA vaccines they're effectively throwing many other types of vaccines under the bus.

My daughter is a university student in the US and had something like this happen. I was on the phone with her when she took it to an Apple store and they told her they would wipe the machine. She has some stuff on there she really didn't want to lose (we've had a lot of talks about backing things up since then) and so I had her buy a new machine (she really needed one). And she's holding onto the old one until I get to the US to visit her this summer. I would be very, very interested in any information you can share about what you did. I have ideas of where to start but anything that could possibly help would be greatly appreciated.
Basically every comment here says positive things about tiktok. Is this a bot invasion on HN or is it really that good?

The few times I tried it it gave me loads of crappy content. No thank you, I'm not in for another doom scrolling addiction. The world has already enough addictive dopamine-f**ing time-sucker almost contentless social medias. I don't have the energies to fight against or maniacally curate my feed for yet another one.

I'd evaluate the usefulness of a social media or any other app by looking at a couple of metrics: 1) how much time do you spend there daily? 2) after you have used it, do you feel a better/improved person?
I'd be curious to see numbers for these metrics.
If anybody has links to papers/surveys that study how good or bad is a certain social media, please feel free to share.
> did you also make the choice to never interact with anybody else again?

interaction with other people are governed by law, and to some extend, cultural norms. Whether i choose to interact with people makes no difference to whether society has to bear the burden of the kids that the parents choose not to bear when they choose to have them. You're making an assumption that a poor parent will raise a bad kid, unless society will chip in. I don't believe that. A smart parent will raise a good kid, whether they are poor or not.

And society _already_ bear some burden, since k-12 education is free.

Childcare at an even earlier age than k-12 is expensive because it is not scalable, and i'm questioning whether it is worth the cost. If the parent doesn't make enough to cover the childcare cost in their job, they can and should perform their own childcare duty. Parents that make more than their childcare cost would make the rational choice of paying for childcare, since they will still have excess money after paying. Or they can choose to do childcare themselves - as is their freedom and right.

What i don't believe in is to have tax payers pay for the childcare. The high earning parent don't need it, and the low income earner is getting a huge benefit for little to no reward for the tax payer - and childcare doesnt get cheaper the more it is collectively paid.
