I don't have any of these note taking e-ink devices but I plan to get one eventually. I've been aware of both the Book Note and reMarkable 2 but for whatever reason I've wanted to wait another few generations and see how products in this space evolve. For now I have an iPad Pro with paperlike.

I followed a link at the bottom of this article to a product I'd never heard of before, Supernote [1], and something there caught my eye. Namely on the accessories tab, there's a link to a LAMY Series stylus [2]. For those who haven't heard of LAMY, they're a pretty big name in the fountain pen world. The page is pretty light on the details, but AFAIK this is the first ever collaboration between fountain pen giant & writing tablet. It even has their iconic pocket clip design... Definitely piqued my interest.

Although interestingly, the tip of the Supernote pen that comes with the A5/A6 series looks more like something that would produce more of a pen-to-paper feeling with its 0.7mm tip.

Looking at the front page of Propublica right now and it's just a straight up checklist of stories that people of a certain ideology believe. There's no opposing ideas or viewpoints present. They only run stories that the people reading it expect to read.

One test I came up with recently is that if a source doesn't run stories that I disagree with, if they only have stories which I nod along to and agree with, then that source is horribly biased. It isn't that they're "right", that they only run "right" stories, it's that they're horribly biased.
With the keyboard and its laptop style hinge, pinephone really looks like a teeny tiny laptop. I guess a palmtop, as they say.
But in this case (wifi based positioning) it is not at all about tying the SSID to an individual. It's the equivalence of some of us walking around noting SSIDs, and their locations, and some of us saying "can you tell me where I am? I'm currently seeing wifi1, wifi3 and wifi11". Basically mapping part of the global frequency spectrum.

I quit using it not too long after the chronological feed was removed. I initially got instagram to keep up with close friend and family but once my main feed essentially became an ad zone I quit cold turkey.

My recommendation is an audio book or podcast to fill those gaps. For me it had to be something interesting and complicated enough that I had to intentionally focus on it.
I don't feel that way, but as someone who has personally been through most of these scenarios your statements come off as blithe and without nuance. Becoming successful really isn't as easy and hand-wavey as you make it out to be.

On the surface it might look like it's just about "discipline" but in the kinds of school districts you're talking about the problems are very deep-rooted and multi-faceted. Discipline alone is not nearly enough to address what's going on.

I think this was somewhat hyperbolic, it's not that frequent, but it's still beyond ridiculous.

I run VMs on vmware workstation. Every 2 or 3 days I come in to find the system rebooted during the night. I've tried every knob possible to turn it off to no avail. Updates regularly reset all the power settings so it suspends after 30 minutes.

The lack of control over the machine's basic functioning makes it barely fit for purpose.

With the amount of money at stake, I’d imagine organizations and politicians would bury any startup before you say “Seed round”.
I have maintained bare metal servers. Deploying manually was a pain, it was simplified with ansible, but decommissioning services was still a pain.

Then I used systemd+docker with ansible, it was less of a pain but still required manual operations.

The main reason I don’t use it much is because I can’t expect others to have it as well when writing scripts or sharing commands.
Your question is getting at the reasons for causality, and not necessarily whether there is a causality. The answer of course is complicated, in that school aptitude depends on family history of education and socio-economic status, and a wide variety of other factors. As far as I can tell, it is clear and widely agreed that just having a degree provides some degree of earnings benefits regardless of aptitude or history or social class (for reasons of selection and social signaling and other things). And there also seems to be widespread agreement that getting the degree yields skills that also translate into some degree of earnings benefits, statistically. Studies are trying to control for aptitude and measure how much education alone contributes -- and it’s not 100%. But nobody is arguing about whether having the degree puts one in the higher earnings camp.

This is probably related to them getting in trouble for scanning networks while mapping. If I remember correctly they were doing a bit of port scanning and looking for share drives in an attempt to id which SSID was attached to which address. This is probably part of the wrist slap they got from FCC. "Oh well you can totally opt out now so it's ok"
> If anyone were given the power to create legally valid debts out of thin air, they would of course abuse it.

Which, incidentally, does exist in places. E.g., when CO mints a new transportation authority they give a private corporation oversight-free permission to set their own rates and penalties, enforceable by law. That's resulted in a long string of complaints about toll roads charging not just the toll, but for the first bill they never sent, an extra 1000% interest here and there, a fine because they had to "send a second bill," ....

I tried asking around (including asking some organization that deal with ADHD in children) for a recommendation for a psychiatrists that deals with ADHD in adults and couldn't get any.

After months of deliberation I finally hyped myself up to get an appointment with any psychiatrist in the local hospital, just to see if they will be of any help and could maybe refer me to someone else. They didn't even seem to know what I was talking about, said that I was obviously fine as I managed to graduate from a university and recommended that I have children to give me a sense of direction in life. So, yeah, good luck to anyone who has adult ADHD here.
It’s going to be more Linuxy somehow. I don’t know how, but there’s going to be something with Linux like WSL but more.

What if they included two kernels, both Windows and Linux? Just speculating.
Those FCC registration records would then be public information.

Would you feel comfortable with your name, address and MAC + SSID of your wireless AP(s) being registered in a public database and the onus on you to keep that registration information up to date every time you changed the SSID or swapped in something with a different MAC address?

I'm not sure I would be.

The ethics around Google's behavior aside - this is a tricky problem to solve.

Edit: Why the downvotes? I'd really like for people that disagree to engage and tell me where I am either wrong or not arguing in good faith. If you believe this is a Google specific problem or somehow an easy problem to solve under the current FCC regulatory regime I'd be happy to hear about it.
Well, the one reason would be to avoid having to deal with Git-Apostels who insist on using git "the right way" instead of how you tell them to. If they cannot learn the 3 or 4 ways of calling svn, for sure they cannot use git the way you want them to.

Thanks for this topic! As we're only working on Github for now, I can't speak for Gitlab. The shift for a code management tool to become a collaboration tool is a giant step. Embedding the only information regarding interactions around code reviews in Slack was a small step to centralize everything in one place.

And one thing we're sure is that our current users are Slack lovers - if you're trying to spend less time in Slack, I'm 100% convinced that Axolo is not right for you!
Some of which applies to SV as well. The US Navy:

- taught a huge number of people enough electronics to do field maintenance of radio and radar

- had a further more theoretical education for radar operators

- at the end of the war, sold off a huge amount of kit cheaply; some of this is still kicking around the ham community in California. See e.g. https://mightyohm.com/wiki/resources:surplus and the geographic distribution

The US picked up a lot of refugees (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Martians_(scientists) , Intel founder Andy Grove etc).

There's all sorts of odd little path dependencies. Shockley and Fairchild semiconductors were in California because Shockley himself wanted to live near his mother and managed to recruit people to move across the country.
>Also, no matter what metric you use, the "average wealth" of the younger generations, particularly millennials, is not in fact higher than their predecessors.

That's only if you look at developed nations. The average wealth in Asia has exploded. The market for labor is far more globalized now, so you have to compete with people used to lower standards of living.

>The level of their productivity is a historical high point

Who's deserves credit for the productivity? Warehouse workers didn't suddenly get twice as good as good as moving inventory by themselves, they did so because Amazon investors invested in automation
For the DOS game Terra Nova (1996) I made our game engine fully deterministic. I guess this was a year before Age of Empires but well after you. It was amazing how much easier this made debugging. The effect was so great that I can't even put a multiplier on it, because it moved bugs from the "we'll never reproduce this" category to the "just see what happened and fix it" category. Some of these replays represented more than half an hour of gameplay too.

One thing that surprised me is that it also found a bunch of bugs waiting to happen (uninitalized variables / dangling pointer sort of stuff) that would trigger an error when replaying from a file didn't produce the same results as the original play (we had a checksum of game state that we could check).
Yes, I've also heard that alternatively you can just wait for them to send it to a debt collector and they will happily negotiate with you as well.

From the wikipedia article:

> Borland Ltd. was founded in August 1981 by three Danish citizens, Niels Jensen, Ole Henriksen, and Mogens Glad, to develop [...] However, response to the company's products at the CP/M-82 show in San Francisco showed that a U.S. company would be needed to reach the American market. They met Philippe Kahn, who had just moved to Silicon Valley...

So yes, Borland is a US company, but founded by 3 Danish folks. That might indicate that Europe doesn't lack innovation or talent, but a large unified market with high purchasing power.
My main point is: Observing a difference in income in the presence of a degree is evidence of correlation, but not of causation.

Not true. That's what you want to believe, and what you've been led to believe. Show me the science that proves this isn't all a load of horse shit. Show me literally anything that remotely proves any of this had a meaningful impact. Anything. Oh yeah I forgot, people here aren't a fan of science and data when it goes against their fragile leftist beliefs.

If what I said is in fact true, it would all appear the exact same.
I can't take anyone seriously who says "Windows architecture is a mess" in the same breath as they promote Linux Desktop, an architecture with no consistent userspace by design.
Why would Amazon let their competitors gather their own valuable data?

But under our current system, this could not be further from the case.
The biggest difference for me is the "eating" of the voiceless consonants before, say, 't': fatto vs. the original factum, etc.
The problem is that the cheap option kills off the pay more to get more option. Informed consumers, especially those who have perfect knowledge of the effects of their actions on future and who can optimize for cooperate-cooperate in a prisoner's dilemma, are largely a myth. The general store only works because a significant number of people were buying their weekly groceries at the high-quality price, it withers away when the only consumer surplus left in the market is at the tippy top of the demand curve. Even if they were viable in the long term, it would be easy for competitors to temporarily undercut them and put them out of business. It's easy to observe that small-town general stores disappear when WalMart and Dollar General arrive.

It may be even harder for these niche businesses to survive on the Internet, where instead of clinging to existence through the local customers who don't want to drive to the big city Walmart, the more local source for Internet customers is the first ad from the Amazon conglomerate they already have an account with. That's a lot easier than drilling down through the search results to the specialty site (that you've vetted as an actually more valuable option, not a scam forwarding cheap junk) and creating an account there.

Rational, informed consumers do not exist, human beings do. Capitalism does not create an infinite spectrum of a free market where all needs are met, there are winner-takes-all effects that distort the result. I don't claim to know of a better system, and I don't have the power to change the current system, but I can imagine some changes to resolve various injustices that the system's current incentive structure will never arrive at.

I think there are a lot of people who believe they understand Python because it kindof looks like Java. I wonder if they leave their shoes tied overnight or if they check a tutorial on YouTube every morning.

Array programming is probably the most interesting piece of technology I have seen in over thirty years of programming.

This thread exists because Apple didn't have a single test that creates an indexdb (or releases to users with broken tests) breaking the web and already developed sites.

It seems to me that nobody has figured out how to properly incentivize workers. We all accept that workers aren’t compensated based on the value of their labor. At least where I live, it’s also pretty accepted that if you are able to do 40 hours of work in 20, you won’t be able to get the same pay for half the hours, not twice the pay for the same hours. If you come up with something clever that makes your company $X, you probably won’t see even a fraction of that.

Within firms, working hard isn’t particularly incentivized. It doesnt lead to a better life. Across firms, it seems to, but the friction there is in some cases inaccessibility high (e.g. “learn to code” or “move somewhere else”).
>pack of barbarians at the gates of our political system

It's quotes like this that make it hard for non-Americans like myself to take American political discourse seriously. To me, takes like this are at a similar effort level to the "Obama is a socialist!" cries heard in the 2008 election. Yawn.
I had two bad hotel stays in big US cities during peak covid pandemic, 2 hotels in DC had taken in people who needed housing so smoking could be smelled in the building, cleaning crews were not running at full capacity, bars/restaurants closed, i had two overpriced airbnbs around the northeast that were good experiences.
And mine is that the existence of causation has been established. The debate amongst researchers is over the weights of various causes, not whether it’s just a correlation.
Instead I would argue that if the Americans opened their borders, a huge fraction of European tech workers/professionals will relocate there. I'd say that, as middle-class persons, they wouldn't subject themselves to the torture of getting a visa, which may also partially explain the rise of Berlin as a tech hub after Brexit.

This succinctly illustrates the problem. The worker is in a position to eliminate costs for themselves and their organization, and the organization has the gall to suggest that they are owed something in EXCESS of the cost saving they just received from the employee.

They should be giving everyone raises to leave, putting the office savings toward payroll. Instead they are trying to claw back.

Push back against this - it is a desperate attempt by the organization to retain outsized bargaining capability.
That link doesn't support your interpretation at all:

> If you try this approach on a credit card debt, it’s unlikely to work. Why? Because you probably won’t be able to show that the amount owed is uncertain. You’ll be held responsible for the amount that you charged—a number that’s likely relatively simple to figure out. On the other hand, if you’re working with a contractor and you disagree about how many hours it took to finish a job or the supplies necessary to complete a project, you might be able to satisfy this requirement.

The article makes no mention of a cover letter. They stress two things:

1. The amount owed must be subject to dispute. The hospital obviously satisfies that requirement.

2. The phrase "paid in full" was visible in an obvious manner.

That's it.
You are using a false equivalence. Almost none of Swedish billionaires are in high tech.

Many trades and plumbing in particular have a large complement of contortionism. I do a small amount of home owner plumbing, but I wouldn't be likely to do it as a second career because pretzeling to get to the sink fasteners gives me aches for a week; and I'm not going to dig out underground pipes in easy soil, but around here it's all rocky stuff.

If I was apprenticing 20 years ago, the pretzel work would be fine, and I would probably be more willing to dig.
I agree that there seems to be no incentive for Apple to keep Safari up to date with features that make native-like web apps possible.

I suppose if they feel like they are big enough to bully websites into just working around long standing bugs, that may be intentional as well.
