Thea's work is immaculate, and always an interesting read. Her synthesizer modules use FR4 PCBs as the front panels as well, a technique that's pretty popular but executed so well it's beautiful.

Physician salaries only make up about 8.6% of all healthcare costs. That’s less than Germany, Australia, France, etc.

Healthcare costs do need to come down, but slashing physician salaries should be near the bottom of the list of things to target.

What does the time have to do with it? It's not like a car with moving parts.
Yes, I'm sure it's a personal preference.

Musk and Page and Bezos all present with a bit of giddy schoolboy energy. It's clear they are all super excited to be building the future and can't wait to tell you about their cool new tech. They aren't polished presenters, but it doesn't matter.

Cook and Nadella are both very polished and calm, but still manage to convey a lot of excitement about their companies.

That leaves Zuckerberg and Pichai, who are, in my view, too flat and robotic.
This is a good question in my opinion.

Theoretically, UDP would be the best choice if you had the time & money to spend on building a very application-specific layer on top that replicates many of the semantics of TCP. I am not aware of any apps that require 100% of the TCP feature set, so there is always an opportunity to optimize.

You would essentially be saying "I know TCP is great, but we have this one thing we really prefer to do our way so we can justify the cost of developing an in-house mostly-TCP clone and can deal with the caveats of UDP".

If you know your communications channel is very reliable, UDP can be better than TCP.

Now, I am absolutely not advocating that anyone go out and do this. If you are trying to bring a product like Dropbox to market (and you don't have their budget), the last thing you want to do is play games with low-level network abstractions across thousands of potential client device types. TCP is an excellent fit for this use case.
> What worth is a principle if you don't still have it when it get challenged?

Huh? To me, refusing to even acknowledge or entertain criticism for one’s principles is one of the worst things I can imagine. Principles ought to be routinely subjected to criticism, no different than scientific theories.

An 8k TV is not that expensive. They are coming soon.

The port standards to support 8k exist already. As do the cables.

And the super-high DPI is basically only useful to people sitting close to them... which is what someone doing MBP work will be doing.

2x4k would be a cop-out. I'd say 1x8k + 2x4k should be what an MBP should support.

That is the exact problem Steve Yegge described [1]. Americans has a world view that equals to America. Amazon doesn't even compare with Samsung in vertical integration.

Are you only believing what you read in the media or do you know people that actually work at Amazon? The fact that Amazon employees in a warehouse rejected unionization speaks volumes. And I know plenty of Amazon engineers that love working there.

To put it in perspective, there may be employees that hate working at Amazon, but there are also 100,000 employees. If only 10% of the employees hated working there, that's still 10,000 employees. But a 90% satisfaction rate for any company is amazingly high.
1. No, because the power has already been transmitted. There would be problems if there were billions of these devices around a transmitter, because that would affect the loading. But one isn't going to make a difference.

2. Potentially yes, but the actual shadow is tiny. And transmitter powers are fixed and limited anyway.

3. Yes, of course. So is any form of undirected radio transmission.

4. This actually works. Kind of. You need to run the line parallel or build a resonant mix of L and C at 60Hz (or 50Hz.) You can also do things like power fluorescent tubes by induction.

https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnetic-field-fluorescen...

The problem is the voltage/current is very hard to control, and the whole point of electric fences is that they're not lethal. You'll get something out of a resonant circuit, but if you're not a qualified electrical engineer it won't be the clean 110/60 or 220/50 needed for an electric fence.
In Ethereum, you need 32 ETH, which is around ~$120k. That's prohibitive a normal person. After EIP1559 goes into effect, it's not out of the question that the price could rise 7x given the power laws at play. What happens when the cost to stake a node is $1M+? What happens 50 years from only the very richest .00001% can afford to run a node?

I'm concerned EIP1559 and PoS is a very short sighted implementation that will move towards centralization of the network.

There should be a floating minimum, or have no minimum at all to run a node. Not sure the exact tech solution, or I'd be submitting a pull request :).
> a niche functionality

That's kind of a bullcrap, since this 'niche' functionality completely crippled graphic card sales, and negative effects will ripple through PC gaming markets for quite some time. Every gamer that didn't manage to snatch one before is pissed beyond funny.

Imagine a gaming studio that is deciding to develop a next-gen game - why would they try hard to go for / optimize for PC version if there are very few actual owners of good cards? Produce either generic all-platform-compatible stuff or abandon PC market altogether.
> Tools like React-Query make handling one kind of global state easy, *but do so by mixing it up with the view layer.*

This is where I think `react-query` fits a very specific niche. I see a lot of new projects reaching for it and while I think for simple applications it can work fine, I have a serious problem with it for large applications: it's baked into react. React is a view layer that is slowly consuming the world and while I don't think react is going anywhere, people are starting to feel the burden of a black box system.

As someone who's primary job has been building large scale web applications for the past 7 years and has weclomed the chaotic nature of the FE ecosystem, I'm starting to feel a little less optimistic about react's future.

That's why the allure of something like redux is so strong for some of us. Redux is not that complicated and the boilerplate has mostly been reduced to a few lines of code.

React is continuing to grow in complexity with hooks, suspense, async rendering, and now server components. I think for personal projects I'm probably going to reach for something else like Svelte.

>"Already we run quantum computers that can perform calculations beyond the reach of classical computers"

Yea this isn't true. Their 54 qubit machine can simulate random circuits pretty fast but

1) that's not at all useful and specifically contrived as a test of "quantum supremacy".

2) totally debatable whether it's actually out of reach:

>In the paper, it is argued that their device reached “quantum supremacy” and that “a state-of-the-art supercomputer would require approximately 10,000 years to perform the equivalent task.” We argue that an ideal simulation of the same task can be performed on a classical system in 2.5 days and with far greater fidelity

Often the Party and the electorate have differing goals. As a general rule the Republican Party didn't particularly like Trump, but the Republican electorate adores him.

I wonder how the Dropbox developers managed to get in contact with the Windows core TCP team. Maybe I'm too cynical, but I'm surprised that Microsoft would go out of their way to work with a competitor like this.
At some point, someone has to take action against harmful behavior, right? In the last few years, we've seen tons extremely problematic behavior arise out of well-principled technology (all of social media, cryptocurrency, etc). Groups of people say "When will we do something?!?!?!", and then, when something is done, other people say "But the principle of ___!".

Sometime, someone has to do something about problematic behavior. The US government isn't going to do anything about it (as is evidenced by reality), but private companies are more than welcome to shape their products to match that company's intended vision for their product. Twitter didn't want fascist rants, Nvidia doesn't want all of their cards to be hoarded by crypto miners.

It's closer to your original assumption than your second. Branching relies on vreplication, and it does actually allow you to develop multiple versions of your schema against your full production dataset. The "magic" is a powerful materialization engine that allows every branch to maintain its own version, and it _does_ allow you to work with your actual data. This is just scratching the surface of what that can do, though. We have loads more features cooking. :)
Don't hold your breath in anticipation of an updated WebGL standard. WebGPU seems to have a lot more support these days and is a bit closer to DX12, Vulkan and Metal in its concepts, so easier to implement in theory.

At this point, I'm not even waiting for a new OpenGL version anymore. The good stuff has been mostly Vulkan exclusive for a while now.

A lot of this is cultural, imo. I grew up in Eastern Europe, where it's very common to have two people talking exactly in that way about a common topic: "X? Yeah, my mom Y".

It took me a while to learn that I can come across as self-absorbed and obnoxious in the US when speaking that way, so I have to consciously remember to ask questions about the person or the topic they presented, and avoid introducing my own related topic, but then I never know when it's OK or how to actually switch topics (since, like the article mentions, conversations do flow from on topic to another) and I become anxious during the conversation.

Even this comment is about me. Could someone suggest how I could have responded in a way that doesn't sound self-absorbed?

Nodes enforce the ruleset that miners must abide by, and can invalidate new blocks that miners generate. You can see examples of this in history e.g. bitcoin.com mining a block with a greater block size than consensus allowed, which caused the block to be invalidated and the cost of energy wasted.
I definitely do think centralization is a risk of PoS over PoW.

> It's not in the interest of Kraken or Coinbase to disrupt one of these PoS networks, but there is some barrier to entry for staking ETH2 or other PoS coins on your own, vs staking them on an exchange. In the case of ETH2, if your staking node goes down, you get slashed and lose some ETH. If there isn't slashing (not all PoS coins have that), I don't see what guarantee of network security or uptime there is.

This is actually one place where ETH has tried to incentivize independent staking - the penalty for downtime is equal to the incentive for mining. In an extreme example, if you are down for 6 months of the year, and up for 6 months, the downtime costs should cancel out the earnings from the other 6 months. One caveat to this is that there are larger penalties for correlated downtime (ex: if a large portion of the network is down). This is to de-incentivize centralization of mining.

That said, as someone fairly technical that could run his own staking node, I am seriously considering using a centralized service, or at the very least using a vps. This makes me think that the the majority are going to be independently run on a slew of hosting providers and via centralized hosting providers.

There are also some interesting "decentralized" options like Rocketpool that haven't launched yet, but will allow staking via smart contracts against a pool of random nodes.

And then at the end of the day, the choice in staking providers should allow the network to at least react to centralization risks. Say a locality forces a provider to censor transactions in some way - I imagine folks will move their funds to a provider in another country, or switch to something like Rocketpool, effectively working around the issue.
The underlying technology (https://vitess.io/) is fully open source, so I imagine there will be very little vendor lock in.

>If apple can get sued for « excessive » throttling when batteries lose peak cranking amps

You are missing the main part, "Apple downgraded your CPU behind your back" which is very different then "The iPhone box clearly mentions that when the battery is low the CPU will throttle and a notification is shown".

It seems the fanboys managed to trick you in believing that Apple is the victim here.
Hm. That makes sense, I guess the lack of privacy of the Ethereum chain could be considered as a feature in terms of transparency. Good point about the market cap, do you think Shiba Inu wouldn’t have gotten as popular having VB not giving up control of the token?
Is Google Drive using QUIC? If so, then its using the same BBR congestion algorithm as the bbr tcp stack, and BBR's algorithm which does not view loss as congestion will help a lot.

It would be interesting to re-try the experiment on Linux or FreeBSD using BBR as the TCP stack and see if the results are any better for dropbox.

FWIW, my corp openvpn is kinda terrible. My upload speeds via the vpn did not improve at all when I moved and upgraded from 10Mb/s to 1Gb/s upstream speeds. When I switched to BBR, my bandwidth went from ~8Mb/s -> 60Mbs, which I think is the limit of the corp vpn endpoint.
I think the issue is less about coming up with shapes that fly well in the sim (or even in the wind tunnel), and more about turning those shapes into practical aircraft. Computers can’t really help us with that (yet) except at a really granular level, with human supervision.

As an example, take the longitudinal fuel bladder in this design. I don’t know how you design a version of that that isn’t subject to very scary longitudinal sloshing and doesn’t have unprecedentedly complex plumbing that will be very, very, very expensive and risky to validate for normal flight operations, let alone emergencies. And that’s, like, the most obvious problem with it, and I’m not even counting all the normal, mundane airplane problems the incumbents have already spent millions of man-hours solving.

> When you're debating about whether or not you should be allowed to vote, or whether you should be deprived of money or other rights, it's difficult to simply come away saying "I enjoyed the conversation".

Then I would suggest you discuss instead of debate.

> Political conversations are more likely to be fun when they're discussing abstractions. But they can have real effects in a way that few other disputes can. Even though the absolute power of one vote is very small, it's not enjoyable to be told "I'm going to put my small amount of power to making your life worse."

Many political discussions need not be that personal. This thread mentioned Israel/Palestine. I guarantee you that 99% of the people who have strong opinions about this are not at all impacted by it either way.

But yes, certainly issues about health care, taxes, guns, abortion, etc could be very personal. And that generally is a start for a good conversation. I grew up in the camp of abstract discussions, and while I still enjoy them, they're mostly useless when it comes to political/social issues. I put very little weight to well thought out analyses done in the abstract. When it starts involving real people, and clear "in your face" impact is when the conversation becomes useful. It may also become heated, too. But avoiding a heated conversation for an abstract one is not at all an improvement. And believing that a heated conversation is the only outcome is very flawed.
