It's not a washing machine, it's a tiny motor inside the washing machine that only works with that model.

What CPU are you replacing it with?
Most if not all modern CPUs are vulnerable to this so changing it makes little sense. Even if you can change it, you'd need to switch motherboard as well.
And, by my estimate, Django has been around ~9 years longer than Phoenix.

Comparing DjangoPackages[0] and awesome-elixir[1], sure you could say "there's an elixir package for everything", but how battle-tested are they? How well-maintained are they?

If someone is trying to decide between Django and Phoenix, I am not sure how likely it is that the individual would have the necessary Elixir/BEAM experience to be confident in dropping-in erlang libraries.

It still surprises me just how much information is out there on the internet. I wonder how much you could track military movements by simply monitoring publicly available webcams. Anyone can see exactly when these two warships leave port by watching the webcam.
Plus, look at an aerial photograph of a non-metropolitan area and see how much of it is covered by buildings. Not a whole lot. With the current global population, real estate is generally scarce only because there is local democratic consensus for maintaining scarcity. (NIMBY)

If shipping operated at negative profit margin, how did it continue to run (until the pandemic)? I don't think it was a sexy sector that could just burn through venture capital money.
Gold is valuable because of its chemical properties, it is almost completely inert/rust-proof and one of the best conducting materials. It's a very useful material for electronic conductors for that reason.
The US is a bit different than portrayed. Even in Illinois, most of the state is hard red. They have “2nd amendment sanctuary counties”. Masking, gun laws, etc aren’t followed in the country, even suburbs.

Honestly, there’s a good reason people in Illinois believe their elections are stolen (there’s lots of historic proof). It’s an open secret that the democrats steal the state. If you ask around, almost everyone believes it.

To be fair, Illinois has jailed a significant number of governors lol
Yes, they're expensive. Fast tests are free, but waitint times are in the range of 1-3hours (those are ok to visit restaurants, etc.).

The government here has been moving the goalposts a lot, because we're in the "green" phase now, where just a few months ago, pretty much everything was allowed, and now they've added the vaccine/recovered/tested requirement (called PCT here) to everything. Also, we've ended the "epidemy status", so no more help for businesses, while still limiting how they can operate (requiring PCT, limiting number of people per square meters or percentage of capacity), and night clubs are only allowed to be open until midnight (making it not worth it to open, but without any help to keep the employees employed).

> As against all the awesome tables OSes and applications on competing devices?

Not them, but my argument would be compared against a full desktop OS.

I love the form factor and for smaller things, if I had a full blown OS, I would be able to do so much more and not carry both my laptop and my iPad.
You can still operate it with the original specifications. Do not apply the microcode if it's that important to your workload. Just remember to avoid running untrusted code.

I have the kickr and it is the best thing for a competitive cyclist IMO. As someone who regularly rides outside though, I hate riding indoors, even on a good setup. I know some people who don't mind or love it, but to me it's really anti-fun and makes me dread the workout instead of look forward to it like an outdoor ride.

> Businesses want to pay as little as possible, but are in competition with each other for labour who want as much as possible, so it doesn’t feel like it’s merely “at the expense of” workers to me (that said: trade union effectiveness is not a constant)

Right, but that labor comes from abroad and is plentiful. The US manager who exports jobs overseas is reward handsomely for saving the company money precisely because it means laying off the more expensive US labor. So rich get richer and poor get poorer, by design.

> Also, while freedom of movement for workers is clearly less than freedom of movement for businesses and goods — and the difference favours businesses over workers — I’m not clear how much of that is anti-migrant sentiment rather than globalisation.

As far as I can tell, we're not talking about migrants, we're talking about outsourcing jobs overseas.

> Regarding slavery: you’re right, that isn’t what I mean. I am of the opinion that forced labour in USA prisons counts as slavery, and I oppose this unequivocally and do not expect its immediate and permanent termination to cause any problems for the slave-prisoners.

Granted (or at least I'm not particularly interested in opening up a debate about whether prisoner labor is meaningfully 'slavery'), but how does foreign slave labor compare with domestic slave labor i.e., pre-abolition American slavery. Why is it wrong for people to say "abolishing slavery [in the US] would be bad for slaves" but not wrong to say "abolishing slavery in China would be bad for [Chinese] slaves"?

> When it comes to “mere” poor working conditions and low pay, that’s when it gets more complicated, because that’s when shutting down the relevant business can have non-zero negative consequences for the workers.

Pro-slavery Americans used to argue that slavery provided slaves with room and board, and that abolishing slavery would deprive them that. That's certainly a "non-zero negative consequence" argument, so how does the globalized slavery case differ?

> And, as you say, even then I would prefer to uplift the conditions rather than shrug and say it’s just how things are. Likewise a carbon tax on imports.

However, you can't do these things (taxing pollution or poor working conditions) without making it harder for e.g. China to compete with other labor, which in practice means moving jobs out of China and the "non-zero negative consequences" for the Chinese worker (it's economically infeasible for China to pay its workers better and keep the west's business--the whole reason so much stuff is "Made In China" is because the prices of Chinese products are artificially low because of slavery and pollution).

I'm shocked at the number of non-rich friends who have bought or seriously considered a Peloton. I know buying a good exercise bike, monitor (which they may already have), and a subscription to some cycling class service or box set isnt a sexy solution but damn is it so much cheaper.

I honestly cant believe how strong the marketing of Peloton is. It's the iPhone of exercise equipment.

> With that said generalisations like the one quoted are not substantiated. I don't think real commitment/passion to anything was that popular to begin with if we take the general population. Even historically if we take education levels back then.

If take this a slightly different way: I think it is common, very common, but that it's normally for some specific thing that isn't fashionable or going to produce a measure of fame. A helluva lot of people are experts at one thing (edit: that they care deeply about and devote huge amounts of time to), it's just "growing unfeasibly large marrows" or "fixing bikes" or "building model railway layouts" or "training dogs" or "cage fighting" or whatever don't have the mystique or social cachet of the underachieving creative who drops everything and isolates themselves to produce award winning novels.

I quite like Deep Work as well, but with this post he seems very taken by romantic ideals of creativity and stereotypes of modern life

I, as a consumer, don't care... I bring the whole washing machine to the store and get my money back, because they changed the specs after i bought it.

Then with that money I can do whatever I want... eg. buy an AMD washing machine... or generally a newer, faster one, becuase some time has gone by. Or go on a vacation. Or drugs and prostitutes.
> I would argue that gold having some meaningful value to anchor the price is what allows it to function as a means of exchange.

Then please argue it; all evidence suggests otherwise.

> Ideally though, we should use something else so that gold can be cheaper for electronics.

Imagine if we had a form of money that didn’t permanently tie up a nonrenewable commodity… it could be based on, say, electricity consumption instead of permanently removing metal from usage!

> Bitcoin is an entirely different creature with absolutely zero intrinsic value, and only successful due to the momentum of being the first mover.

“Intrinsic value” is a totally economically nonsensical concept. Gold is also not valuable due to “intrinsic value”. They are both valuable due to monetization. Yes, this is based on “momentum”/impredicativity. No, that’s not a problem.

> Of all the major cryptos in distribution, Bitcoin is one of the least advanced and most limited in functionality.

There is literally no charitable interpretation of this statement that is true.

This is the ultimate human-in-the-loop based AI you can ever have. This reminds me of a situation when I was india in 2019. I was in a megastore called Big bazaar, I wanted to search, find stuff. There were at least 8 employees people per aisle, and they helped me find stuff, recommended things like mangoes, compared prices for me and found the best deal in the store.

No amount of AI in the world can recreate that shopping experience.

I wouldn't be surprised if there is NoAI/LowAI movement that promotes these kind of experiences over machine centric approach.

I'm speculating somewhat as I haven't been through the process, but it seems like the test centers give you a string that the app converts into the QR code. The app is supposed to work offline, though perhaps the initial string -> QR code does an online lookup and thus is signed externally to the test centers.

> Q: If a healthy 18 year-old chooses to attempt to go to a nightclub unvaccinated, who exactly is put at risk from this?

That person, plus every person they come in contact with.

Oh, you can compute the total "risk" of course. Assuming the person is contaminated and you put their personal "risk" treshold at an arbitrary 2% (which I just pulled out of thin air: chance of getting unacceptable side-effects: p(side_effect|contaminated)). You then have to sum that up for every person they come in contact with.

sum((1-vacc_effectiveness)*personal_risk*transmissiveness).

The real contribution might be even greater than that, as the contaminated will go on carry the virus to other people.

In theory if the number of people is large enough, you should be able to replace the values with average ones, but it's likely that 18 yo will spend more time with 18 yo than 70 yo.

To sum it up, herd immunity only works if enough people are immune (vaccinated). Everyone should feel responsible for it, even 18 years-olds (unless you take a very individualist view of life, which seems like a dominant feeling in the US: it works a lot like the prisoner's dilemna). Anyway, I'm just proud of performing my civic duty, I won't be a carrier for that virus.
I'd go farther and take the Taleb route that NOBODY understands economics due to its random nature.
I expected the common programming language would be an improved Visual Basic or other Visual Programming Language (drag component to screen, write event handler), and that desktop applications would continue to be the dominant form of computing. DHTML looked like a toy, and I didn't take it seriously, and although I knew the internet was a revolution I only saw it as a means to distribute information, not as way to do stuff, so you would have to download and install an app, not run it in the browser (or buy the app in CDROM and receive patches via the internet). Most people had either limited (pay per minute, modem speeds) or no access to the internet.

I expected most people to be able to create and publish their own websites using desktop apps like Microsoft FrontPage or Dreamweaver, and that these types of apps would be the dominant way to create content on the web.

I was thinking more along the lines of one of the signing keys leaking.
Wow, this was calculated to make me feel old.

I actually own some of the more speculative non-fiction books on "Cyberspace," in particular the representational aspect. I did expect some higher levels of abstraction to be present when it comes to working with data, browsing file systems, making connections, and so on. I was not necessarily expecting wireframe graphics, but yes, more abstraction. The closest I have seen is something like WinDirStat when it comes to looking at a directory, and even that is just colored blocks. I knew the graphics processing would be intense to match the bandwidth of the human visual channel.

I did see the Wild Wild West era of the Internet coming to a close, having donned white and grey hats myself off and on. The early Internet had security holes such you could drive a bus through them honking and dragging a bunch of rusty bikes behind you. The invention of the img tag more or less began the Advertising Era, whether they knew it or not.

I did have an early suspicion about privacy, and permanence, so my Usenet posts from 1989 never had my name on them. So far this has remained a decent decision.

I did not expect a trend in programming languages I have a hard time describing but can only sum as "yes, every programming paradigm and idiom will be crammed into that language over time if allowed."

I have never expected VR to take off until other technologies are in place and cheap. They aren't here yet.

I have never expected the "Fifth Generation" anyone-can-code drag-and-drop thing to happen and I believe that by the time such a thing is available (and effective at scale), it would be AI anyway.

None of the approaches to AI have been promising to me, aside from Cyc, which I would describe as being necessary, but not sufficient.
I'm doing my part to shill the free (but sideloaded) Youtube Vanced app for Android - sadly not available for iPhones.

I wonder if clothing returns often get destroyed. I know a lot of people will bulk order like 10 bathing suits with the intention of only keeping one or two.
This is patently false. Though we use Inertial, it's one component of an overall system that includes GPS.

When we have degraded GPS we have to allow for larger error margins, based on time since last positional fix. There are other systems that allow us to reset the inertial, including manual fixes, if absolutely necessary.

To say that a modern military doesn't use GPS for navigation is flat wrong.
Moving to contracting/b2b had a much larger effect on my quality of life than I anticipated. I don't lose sleep over the insurance or investment options my employer provides. Flexible hours with most contracts. I feel more in control of my life.
Nobody is saying it's impossible, on average - but people aren't aggregate statistics. Some women are already going to be unable to get pregnant by 35, more by forty. Many more will struggle, but might be able to get pregnant. I believe the study you cited is biased by excluding some of these as 'unhealthy' - essentially it is limiting the population to just women who still can get pregnant at these ages.

Once more, the number of chromosomal abnormalities skyrockets after 30 and by 40 around three quarters of eggs (or more, for an individual) will have serious abnormalities.

Even if only a small fraction of women would struggle at 35, but could have gotten pregnant at 25 - for her it's a tragedy. And she is not helped by these messages that 'no worries it's easy to get pregnant at 40'

The fact that having a deflationary money supply is bad, is even debated in cryptocurrency forums is the clearest indication that they have no idea how economics works.

Once these money supply and stability issues are ironed out, and once the scalability problem is solved, I think we might really have something.
