> I think the 1960's were far more civilized than today.

Well, sure, I guess it depends on who you ask too. Really good design sometimes operates like fiction when viewed from the future into the past. It paints a rosy picture of a past era and makes you overlook the bad stuff and focus on what the design is saying to you emotionally. The 60's were a hot mess, but we can still get good vibes from that era-- partly because of the design of objects from back then.

> Just because [typewriters] don't exist in your bubble doesn't mean they don't exist.

Hey, typewriters DO EXIST in my bubble. I live a few blocks from an actual typewriter shop. They're just not utilitarian items anymore. They're more about style and nostalgia. There's nothing wrong with that. It's great. And if your wife likes to bang out letters on a typewriter to friends that's delightful but also a deliberate aesthetic choice rather than a necessity (pragmatic).
Worth noting that the IRS taxes earned income even if granted as stocks or options, forcing liquidation. Your arguments against forcing liquidation apply equally to RSUs, yet the real-world treatment is different.
Hmm, pretty certain we're all guaranteed to die, but that doesn't mean that we aren't also likely to survive some serious accidents or illnesses and possibly need disability insurance before that point. I was run over by a Mack truck biking to work about a decade ago, short-term disability was handy for the ~9mo it took me to be mobile again.
No, the retort is "I'm calling it a conspiracy theory because it's a conspiracy theory". Because one of the markers of conspiracy theory thinking is "Science can't take any criticism because it won't take my criticism."

You are allowed to question. You're also obligated to listen to the answer. If you you're not listening to the answer, then you're not really asking a question. Repeatedly asking the same not-a-question gets people frustrated, but that's not a red flag.
I've got a setup with Emby instead, Jellyfin is just far too immature and unstable for my liking. Great setup though.
It's not the same without a decent APL keyboard :-(

Even for the on-screen keyboard - at least make it have a few rows, not everything on a single row. Jeez.
Question, how does an individual go about acquiring an Enterprise license? For the exact reasons you mentioned (features, per-user licensing) I’ve tried in the past to get setup with a license and not had any luck.
> FLoC is NOT proven to be incentive-compatible with consumers and how they value their privacy. The only guarantee is that users are (on average) harder to distinguish within a cohort. Google absolutely studied the possible economic consequences of FLoC prior to announcement and they are hiding that study. Either because the results are crappy, the Google Ads employees are less competent than they were a decade ago, or both.

Could you walk through your ideas of the incentives here? I'm curious because while I like the idea of FLoC in general, Google is the last company I trust with this. Moreover there are a lot of details (such as cohort sizes) that could have the potential to mask identity and align incentives, but has been underspecified by Google so far.

Ah. So that’s why we exist. I was wondering.
The $500,000 threshold is, IIRC, for companies that don't have a 'nexus' in California. As of a few years ago, having a single remote employee in California was enough to create a nexus, causing you to be treated as a California-local company.

We Shouldn't Be Surprised People Don't Read
I think it’s a bit of both. The internet has also made the niche groups more visible, probably making them grow in confidence/appeal/numbers. So people don’t need to worry as much about being labelled weird by association. Being labelled too basic/boring is also probably more of a concern than before, so the social pressures are aligning more and more with taking part in niche interests, or at least not being seen as scornful of them. I don’t have any numbers to back this up but that’s how it seems to me. Compared to a few years ago anyway.
Is it possible to self host it? I don't mind paying for a premium tier that lets me self host/configure; I don't mind if it isn't open source, but I have a need to host something like this for players in APAC region and also be able to select my own ports.

I remember seeing this in person when walking around the highline around this time. I was with my SO and we thought it was cute, hipster-y, and fun.

What's interesting to me is that we had some of the same sentiments that were expressed so negatively on reddit, but in a very positive light? Crazy how the anonymity and lack of context can easily influence folks to be so negative.
Jellyfin supports "Watch parties" which I've used for movie nights in the past. It works well enough.

But if you want this going real-time and continuously it sounds like you want more of an RTMP stream setup. I recommend MovieNight[0] but you can handle it natively in Nginx I think. Then it's just a matter of setting up OBS[1] or something similar to stream to it and you can do whatever you want.

I concur, and I’m definitely not on the “side” of the author.

_However_, just because I don’t agree with something doesn’t mean I can’t learn from it or use it as a basis for analyzing my own beliefs.

The thing that most struck reading this article is something that has repeatedly struck me while interacting with the “other side”: there is a complete disconnect between how Republicans and Democrats see the events of Jan 6.

Note that the following is my perception of each side’s position. I am not asserting this is what anyone in particular believes, only that this is what they seem to believe, when filtered through my own biases.

Democrats are using the words “insurrection” and “domestic insurgency” to describe it. They seem to be assuming that the people in DC on Jan 6 intended to overthrow a legitimate, elected government through force. Meanwhile, I see Republicans most often use the word “protest”. The strongest word I’ve seen used on that side is “riot”.

Having spoken with a couple of people who were at the Capitol rally, I’m confident that the vast majority of those present there did not see themselves as “insurrectionists”, nor did they intend to overthrow anything. At most, I believe they saw themselves as practicing civil disobedience in an effort to be heard.

The videos I’ve seen from in and around Congress didn’t strike me as if the people there were intending to use violence, either. Don’t get me wrong - it was a “mob” and “mob mentality” is real and I would absolutely not have felt safe to be on the other side of those doors. What I’m trying to say is that I believe I would have judged it to be a “potentially dangerous situation”, not an “attempt to overthrow the government”.

I’d like to discuss the differing behaviors and apparent perspectives of people since that day, but I’ll wait a bit. I don’t want to write paragraphs on the topic only for the thread to be locked and it no longer be able to discussed. :)
I hate to break it to you, but every economic scenario is a zero-sum game. In order for an economy to work you have to have a relatively fixed amount of resources.

This whole win-win ideology is mostly a tool to erase where the losers are, and to make losers feel better about losing. Every increase in my paycheck is a decrease in someone else's.
Sounds like something that will never come to the USA unfortunately. All new cars are required to have backup cameras as a standard safety feature, so at that point, the car company will ship the whole CarOS anyway.
I have this weird feeling that we ought to displace the problem somewhat. I feel like the ubiquotous & pervasive computing people were onto something. And in some ways, we're already seeing a very narrow brand of this future arrive: Apple and Google both have systems to allow the phone to control & manipulate some of the car's infotainment systems.

Extending that idea further, & removing most of the native infotainment from the car, turning it into a bunch of dumb, wirelessly controlled displays & buttons, that an external system can use, would be interesting. Certainly there's still a large maintenance burden. And now we're talking about allowing external consumers of the car's services.

There is some precedent for this. Webinos was a very intersting ubiquotous computing platform, and one that BMW/Jaguar/Land Rover did a bunch of work on[1]. It definitely still kept the car's infotainment system, but it also exposed many of the car's systems & services externally, over a normalized, secure, webinos control system, such that you could manipulate the car's systems, or in one demo, look at the radar system, from remote devices. I kind of picture the radicalized form of this as, your car has some hdmi ports in it, and you plug in a Roku or Chromecast or whatever to power the screens, or have your phone wirelessly send a video stream. The manufacturer would still need to have an out-of-box experience, but in 10 years or whatever, the manufacturer might not have to still support it like they do a built in one: they still have to maintain some API surface, but that, hopefully, can be a simpler, more controlled, known interface, with less maintanence burden, & less fancy application processors.

I don't really think what I suggest saves all that much trouble. It introduces more trouble too. But starting to decouple computers, starting to untangle the weave, but it does seem like a long term more sustainable course of action. Whatever modern computer we carry with us is what we trust, and leaving it to provide an up to date experience across all varieties of screens, inputs, peripherals we encounter has always been, to me, what the ubicomp revolution was about.

> Tilly, the 2-year-old Border Collie who was ejected from a car Sunday during a crash, has been found.

> He was found on a sheep farm, where he had apparently taken up the role of sheep herder.

> According to Tilly's owner, he has lost some weight since Sunday's crash and is now drinking lots of water but is otherwise healthy.

> PREVIOUS COVERAGE:

> RATHDRUM, Idaho - The Idaho State Police (ISP) is investigation after a crash blocked SH-41 and Hayden Avenue on Sunday afternoon.

> ISP said they are looking for people who witnessed the incident.

> The crash happened when a GMC Yukon towing a white horse trailer attempted to turn south onto SH-41 when a Buick struck the GMC.

> The driver of the Buick, a man from Spirit Lake, was transported to a nearby hospital and was treated and released. No one else was injured.

> During the crash, a dog was ejected from the rear of the GMC and is still missing.

> ISP said the dog is a 2-year-old Border Collie Heeler mix that goes by the name "Tilly". Tilly has no tail, a dark-colored face, weighs approximately 70 pounds, and was wearing a multi-colored plaid and tan-colored collar with a name tag containing the owner's contact information.

> Tilly was last seen running northwest from the crash scene through the field.
what you're saying is the equivalent of you'll learn django orm or whatever orm instead of SQL. Yeah in the short term, you've immediate productivity gains. But in the long term, you lose out as the ORM | Framework API's churn - while the base language itself remains stable.

Invest in the basics, and you'll never lose. SQL, HTML, JS. No need to keep learning or relearning frameworks or libraries.
> Your job is not to save money. Your job is to save value

I could not disagree more. For much of human history, and most of American history, saving currency was exactly how you saved value. You already created value in exchange for the money; now you should be able to hold on to that value until you want to spend it. The fact that putting money under your mattress is no longer a viable strategy is why we have massive and growing wealth inequality. It is horribly unrealistic to assume that every person can or should become financially savvy enough to make smart investments in the global economy, and it is naive to think that just buying some index is efficiently allocating capital.

> Wages have kept pace with inflation.

Wages have barely kept up with CPI [0], which is not true inflation (see my other comment on this thread). While I don't agree with most of their economically illiterate proposed solutions (minimum wages, wealth taxes, etc.), the people clamoring about a living wage have a point these days. It makes sense that CPI and CPI-adjusted wages will always be a flat line, by the way. I recently learned that the CPI basically just measures the annual median American's budget via their consumer spending survey, which is of course directly related to wages.

I have a more optimist view about the industry being able to cope just because we have two more industries that have gone the same transitions, aeronautical and aerospace.

Back in the day airplanes where just knobs and levers, and we didn't have the reliability that safety that we have today.

With aerospace, I mean, software engineering as a discipline started with aerospace!

If we write "starup code" (i.e. CRUD web app) for cars we'd still be in huge trouble, but if the automotive industry can adopt the redundant systems, enforce VERY high levels of software testing, and other practices for those other industries I think we could see some interesting things coming from the industry
I think it's also just a product of the hivemind and people not thinking. Not realizing that there is a real person in that picture. Causes normal people to be asses without thinking. As evidenced by the fact that the tone of the conversation changed when he responded.
I do account for that, but honestly I don't make the international sales to worry about it. UK is the one exception for that. The rules are being a bit more simplified starting July 1 of this year. VAT is a disaster for all businesses. This is a case of going after the big guys and screwing the little guys in the process. Luckily, 70% of my revenue is in the USA and on top of that my company is based in business friendly Virginia.
Yeah, I'm saying add regulations so it is no longer an externality.

Quality is a product feature when there is competition, monopolies don't suffer from cutting quality.

Liquid steel requires enormously high temperature and magnesium/aluminium require an argon atmosphere. Titanium requires both. So unless you're going to make everything out of zinc (assuming we don't run out of zinc!), this may not be the cheap fix you're hoping for -- and zinc isn't very strong.
>My favorite car was a ‘96 Tercel with mechanical steering and a 4-speed manual. It even had manual roll-up windows.

I had a 1993 Tercel, same gearbox, manual windows, vinyl interior. It had a leaking head gasket when I bought it, and I drove it for 150,000 km without putting a dime into it outside of oil changes and tires, filling the coolant as needed. Simple cars are basically indestructible.
I remember the iPhone 4 being denied Siri, on supposed grounds of microphone quality.

Jailbreakers found a way to enable Siri on it, and it honestly felt exactly the same as the 4S.
Three rioters died from medical emergencies, one was shot by police, and the Capitol Police officer's death was never conclusively linked to the events of the riot.

What's your idea of the sequence of events where a crowd of unarmed people in the Capitol "easily" would have led to thousands of lives being lost?
What about invoicing to the customer?

AFAIK Paddle solves that too but Stripe doesn't.
Anecdote: I had this reaction to the 2nd dose of the Pfizer vaccine, saw a cardiologist and she mentioned that she’s been seeing this quite a bit after the second dose. Have had to lay low for a month, but it seems like the symptoms are finally passing.
Can the government present anything in a useful manner?

The most important information, i.e. if the young men engaged in heavy sports right after getting the vaccine, is missing.

Heavy sports is obviously also dangerous while recovering from the flu.

But the disorganized chaotic government presentation doesn't give any useful information.

It’s so wrong that tech inclined wants cheapest models for the reason that those are objectively better. The entire car industry is going to go iPhone all over again.
I think you overestimate the extent to which our economy is planned. Companies sprouted up because people wanted to create them, not because society decided they were efficient.
well, self horn here... but that is a basic functionality of https://platform.sh (CPO here). You get per branch full copies of production in isolated staging environments that are very cheap to run. So you just clone production to a specific branch apply whatever changes and grant access to the clone. ..you do need to run production with us for the magic though... and a PaaS is not for all use-cases (specifically when running a SaaS...).
Some of the extra infotainment stuff (read: media content) is subscription only. Some functional extras like full self-driving or faster acceleration are one-off purchases. The rest of the software -- all the things you'd expect the car to do -- comes with the vehicle and gets regular OTA updates.
Why IBM Is Suing GlobalFoundries over Chip Roadmap Failures
I agree that it's nice if you have assets, but I believe for most people we can't have nearly as many assets and or connections as the wealthy.

And for young people, they're basically priced out of assets by this system. _This_ literally is the reason owning a home is next to impossible for millennials and gen-zs.

Further, this encourages a debt based society that may encourage growth in the short run (debt giveth first), but then when the debts are due it holds the economy back. Typically this looks like the 2008 crash and is coined the `business cycle` by modern economists.

Yeah I document stuff when I'm assigned it (say it has users that aren't programmers), or I have to take notes that I will understand. I don't dumb it down so a "newb" can take over my place, I document enough so that 6 months or more down the road I can come back to it and have a reasonable review of what's going on.
I know people don't want to admit to genetic impacts on cognition but there have been pressures over many generations for these traits and those pressures have been different all over the world.

Take the example of a genetic lineage living in a jungle where it is necessary to know the difference, availability, dietary qualities, medicinal aspects of thousands of plants. Not to mention predatory dangers, snake dangers, environmental dangers, etc.

In this case, the individual with high aptitudes for memorization, categorization and pattern matching would survive at a substantially higher rate than those with lower aptitudes. Remember, a small band does not have the resources to support low producing members so they would not be artificially perpetuated.
Agreed. Context matters here.

I'd hate for this to get blown out of proportion like the blood clot issue did, causing massive confidence declines in places all over, especially those struggling to roll out vaccines and keep their COVID cases under control.

Obviously, if the numbers are alarming, we must react accordingly.

Heh, I have two of those older models lurking in the garage from some older experimental stuff.

They were at one point configured as a DRBD two-node cluster, which was fun, although performance was dire.
> Donald Trump, a former POTUS, has been completely defanged and deplatformed

Maybe so, but he still holds a lot of sway over Republican voters. "The 17-19 May national poll found that 53% of Republicans believe Trump, their party’s nominee, is the “true president” now, compared with 3% of Democrats and 25% of all Americans." I'm not sure I'd call that "defanged" https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/may/24/republicans-...
Also wondering about this. Having a one man band b2b only saas, in EU. Have few customers in US to whom I just send an invoice with no tax added. This is what I heard from long ago was how you do.

Have never registered any taxes abroad in any country. For EU customers I collect VAT no and do the quarterly report but for all other countries I’ve done nothing. I have basically been doing this wrong then?

You can't breed humans because you can't isolate or consistently provide for an environment for long enough, considering how long it takes humans to mature.

It seems like one of the largest values they could bring to society would be to solve driverless technology.

Every time I get one of those Apple Music notifications I think there must be a way to turn them off and I spend a few minutes poking around in settings trying to find the toggle before I lose interest. Your comment prompted me to figure it out once and for all! They can indeed be turned off but the setting is hidden pretty well and not at all where I would have expected to find it:

1. Launch the Music app.

2. Select the “For You” tab at the bottom (little heart icon) this will take you to an advertisement page trying to get you to sign up.

3. Towards the top of the page and to the right of “$date For You” there’s a profile icon. Select it to bring up a tab called “Your Account”.

4. Select “notifications” and you can toggle “New Music” off.

Oddly enough, mine was toggled off when I checked and I know I’ve gotten these notifications in the very recent past. I wonder if it changed to default-off in a recent update in anticipation of iOS 15’s new “focus” feature and Apple’s newfound commitment to battling notification pollution?
Ah, I misremembered. Wikipedia's Macintosh II page says:

"The machine shipped with a socket for an MMU, but the 'Apple HMMU Chip' (VLSI VI475 chip) was installed that did not implement virtual memory (instead, it translated 24-bit addresses to 32-bit addresses for the Mac OS, which would not be 32-bit clean until System 7)."
