You can see the direction things are heading.

The iPhone was a UI step change improvement over previous 'smart phones' and the app ecosystem came out of that.

The ground work being set in the OP's post is about getting things ready for hardware that can then take advantage of it.

It's possible to make predictions based on trends and the capability of hardware that becomes possible when it previously wasn't: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTdWQAKzESA (Also see: Douglas Englebart's the Mother of All Demos: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mother_of_All_Demos). Xerox PARC too - computing history is filled with examples of people pulling the future down because they recognized what was possible.

Just because 3D websites are a bad UI doesn't mean looking at little hand-held glass displays is the best one. Likely in AR we'd still pull up flat 2D websites a lot of the time, you just wouldn't need to pull out a little glass display to do it.

Michael Abrash used to have a blog post about the hardest AR problems when he was at Valve (he's at Oculus now): drawing black, and latency - the latter is mostly a hardware constraint - I'm not sure if anyone has solved the former (the magic leap sucked).

If the hardware is possible, the UI benefits seem big.
> Technically though, there is still a use for Windows search on the start menu: pulling up Windows components like the Control Panel or Disk Manger quickly.

And not even that since some times typing "Panel" will not find Control Panel or "Power" not find "Dell Power Manager". I am baffled as to what is the actual algorithm behind this "search". I am quite sure it is not an indexing problem as searching the same items by prefix usually works.

And as usual when it fails to find what you were looking for, you are just one Enter key away from being sent to a browser and Bing. Way to raise your ratings...
The US government does have a credit limit (one that can be changed by congress, though): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_debt_ceiling

Is this just rebranding of the home economics class everyone took 20+ years ago in junior/senior high?

In my area (Fairfax County, VA), home ec class in the 90s was cooking and sewing. The "economics" part disappeared from the curriculum sometime before I entered high school.

Also, many college-bound students weren't allowed to take the class. It was a known waste of time - counselors actively pushed students towards more useful courses. In my case, that was a year of Latin as a senior (on top of 4 years of French).

An real home economics class - with personal finance as a primary focus - would be very useful, IMO. I'm sure we covered interest rates somewhere in high school math, but it was purely academic - not taught in terms of useful life skill.
It was his word choice, not mine. He's been accused of bright-line violations that his apology doesn't mention, for whatever that's worth. For instance: attempting to have sex with someone too intoxicated to give consent isn't merely "pressure"; it's rape.

(I only know what everyone else who just found out about this drama today knows, from looking at Twitter threads and Wikipedia.)
Hey, I've heard there are people out there who think math is racist, so I'm sure someone out there has proposed teaching advanced racist spotting to children.
I used the same tool an the numbers were very similar 7-8 years ago.

The amount of people that I saw leaving matches that attrition rate. Many were put on unjustified PIPs.

The 6% in the article is incredibely underestimated.
Large companies used to have company historians and company archivists. Some still do. There were probably never very many of those, though.

The new policy seems to be to throw the (digital) archives down the memory hole to avoid lawsuits.
> For you Europeans out there... that'd be roughly A3 sized paper

Thank you.
Great move.

It's always been one of my pet peeves that basic personal finance classes weren't taught more in schools. Some of the biggest financial decisions in a person's life comes right as high-school is ending. Not everybody is going to become rich, but at least give people the tools they need to maximize their gifts. The system feels intentionally designed to leave them ignorant, allow them to make dumb decisions, and extract wealth from kids for decades from that.

Also, I doubt we'll ever see this as a basic public school requirement, but I'd love to see risk-management explicitly taught as part of that. To me, this guides so much of what smart decision makers do in life and would be wise for everybody to be a little familiar with.

A reasonable and nice service.

I use it for some small businesses of mine but I wouldn't use it for a medium company. I would just get some servers from smaller provider in different data centers and deploy whatever I need.

AWS, was definitely the service that convinced everyone they needed the cloud.
Most of the companies I've seen move to aws are just wasting money, don't need the scalability and are massively over-provisioned.

A few unicorns needs the cloud's powers to scale massively now - and, given how much it costs, they'll end up rewriting it anyway to save hundreds of millions a few years down the line.
No I don't think every single mistake should follow you forever. And it's not fair to judge a person by their worst action.

But a sincere apology is humble and expects nothing in return. There is nothing in this piece to indicate that his apologies stemmed from anything other than damage control for his social and professional standing.

I've heard that modern Windows does some aggressive disk-caching of driver states or something (?) when you shut down, so that it can quickly load them when you boot again and skip a large part of the booting process. Obviously the intention is to make boot faster, but maybe on an HDD it has the opposite effect?
If you read the story, it seems pretty clear that he went a little overboard with his self-loathing apology. Hence my comment.
Basically bunch of wanking about futuristic AR sci-fi technology that the author has decided to accept as proven to be coming, but actually isn't.

See flying cars 20 years ago.
So around 24 hours of 15$/h minimum wage labour so that someone else can do something they could be doing on their own dime... That sounds very excessive burden to be placed on students. For something they gain very little from...
I just don't buy it. Sure, SSDs have always been faster—I remember how exciting they were when they were new—but HDDs were always "fine". Not fast, maybe, but nothing ever felt broken. I never waited multiple seconds to open a search box, for example.

And more broadly... have you ever tried running Windows XP in a VM, on modern hardware? Even virtualized, if you feed it anything approaching the resources of a typical 2021 machine, it absolutely flies compared to Windows 10.
I assume it's a reference, at least in part, to the virtual reality world in Neal Stephenson's "Snow Crash".

I’m confused by this, how are you supposed to communicate a precise agenda in a hashtag? The movement has to do with systemic racism in America. Think of BLM like a “hook” in writing. Isn’t it interesting that a statement of an obvious fact (that black lives matter) has caused so much controversy?
It has remained popular because it feels like the correct approach in almost every situation, despite having a difficult, obtuse UI. After spending years with Microsoft's centralized version control and then switching to Git it's like a breath of fresh air.

Granted, I almost never use the Git command line and always favor a 3rd party GUI. For users who are a tad confused I think this is the right approach. And to me that's what makes Git a winner: the core software is powerful enough to do everything that needs to be done, and you can pick whatever UI you're comfortable with. No one is forcing you to use Git's built-in UI.

That said I think even the high-level Git concepts have naming that confuses new users. "Pull request" annoyed me for a long time. Yes I technically understood why they chose that term, but practically speaking it just seemed pointlessly misleading.
Better than AWS at what? Many are better than AWS in parts of their business - Google's Kubernetes offerings are far better than AWS's overall, Azure beats the pants of AWS in Windows hosting, Active Directory hosting, Confluent provides a better Kafka offering, Snowflake shits all over Redshift and Aurora (at least for OLAP) etc.

That said, AWS is solid and best in class in many areas, and to paraphrase the old saying: "no one ever got fired for choosing AWS"
The problem absolutely is the platform and the medium, because it makes nuanced impossible by design.

“Being shown the door” is completely tame compared to what actually ends up happening to people who become targets of online outrage. People can have their entire livelihoods destroyed, often for something that isn’t particularly noxious or egregious to the average person. We have no control over how sensitive the doorman is, or what they will become upset about in the future.
If money is unlimited, you could come up with reasons to fund all of the junk you've listed. For GP's example of a college fencing team, they need 1) occasional use of a well-ventilated room with a hard floor [and one or two electrical outlets if they're using that fancy electronic scoring] and 2) storage for their equipment when they're not using the room. Literally nothing else is needed. Few fans would ever pay to see fencing, so these actual student-athletes don't need any more compensation than the room and the storage. Equipment can be funded by donations and dues. Coaches should mostly be volunteers, but if someone needs payment that can also be from dues or donated.

(Source: I played on my college club kendo team. If anything the needs of fencing are less than those of kendo.)

Given my first sentence, I see how you could interpret me as saying that. But I never intended to say that and it's definitely not true. In fact, strictly you're _never_ immune in the sense that you can't actually be infected again. Getting the vaccine decreases the likelihood of getting the disease even if you've had it before. That is good for you and good for others.
I took an independent living class in high school that taught me basic checkboook balancing, cooking, cleaning, etc and while I didn’t care then, I can’t say I didn’t learn and retain anything.
> and every other Apple OS, is going to be so much more... [non-Apple users are] missing something

Android hasn't really faced many obstacles in cloning things. Consumers in China, for example, still buy Android phones, despite iPhones and despite having enough money for those iPhones. I don't know if anyone is missing out on all that much. I wouldn't say they are like, unenlightened. If anything the Android ecosystem has led to more digitization of life in China than in America, far faster - it looks way more like the metaverse in terms of computing taking over daily life than here, which is to say that you're really far off the mark in terms of what really matters.

Anyway, this metaverse stuff. It blows. Roblox blows. Second Life blew. World of Warcraft is great, but you can hear about why it's great direct from the source (https://www.media.mit.edu/videos/conversations-2014-05-07/) and it's all about really carefully curated and purposeful design choices, the user driven parts of it are not why the game was so good.

Existing metaverse experiences blow not for lack of immersion! So the technology will change little of that. If Roblox was photoreal, it would still blow. Minecraft AR didn't matter. None of that shit matters.

A company that barely supports 1 external video card vendor, that releases shit graphics APIs, that sues game companies - they're not going to break ground in the "metaverse." Apple Arcade games are good, but that's because they are fighting the real antagonist, the real horror show: free to play gaming. That is the antagonist of the metaverse, having to be free and monetize people via Robux or V-Bucks or whatever it is that activates neurons in a 10 year old's brain. It's got nothing to do with the technology.
The UI looks great! As others have said, I like how compact it is. It doesn't get in the way as much as MS Teams and Discord do. I also like that it is lightweight. It's important to me that the app stays performant while sharing the screen. MS Teams is too laggy.

Have you looked at Tuple? Noor seems quite similar. Could you please explain a bit more about the differences between Noor and Tuple?

Finally, as others have said: lack of Windows compatibility is a dealbreaker for me for now. A performant Windows app would be fantastic. That's also something that Tuple doesn't have.
I was required to pass a personal finance class in high school, it resonated with me, and I am far more comfortable than most people my age. A class may not resonate with every person, but for those who take the lessons to heart and grasp the incredible potential of exponential growth, it will be absolutely life changing.
Hey! Really good pushback.

1. RE icloud email: That's his personal icloud email so it's unassociated with Apple.

2. RE is this a funnel into the tweet thread: Nope. I do think that's a really good strategy but doesn't tend to work for the best companies.

The main difference with this new approach is we write super tailored messages for you and go for decision makers, whereas the crunchbase approach I published is non-personalized and targets generic company email addresses.

Does that make sense?
You're both spreading misinformation. It clearly says that they "reduce asymptomatic infection and transmission", not prevent.
Wow really? I never knew that. Who thought it would be a good idea to have the Explorer search NOT do filename search by default?

That is an easy argument for an outsider to make in virtually any situation. The answer is probably similar to the reason you aren't doing your programming job on an 11" chrome book.

Calling it "cancelling" doesn't do it justice (comes from cancelling games or sitcoms). Let's call it what it is, purging. The same tactic employed in communist China and the USSR.

I have to imagine that just running along the Northeast Regional is the big one. Its the most profitable line of Amtrak for a reason.

Norfolk Virginia is just a short bus-ride to Virginia Beach and serves as either the starting point, or ending point of the journey.

Travel north to Washington DC, then Philadelphia, then New York City, and then Boston. That takes you across a major cultural center of the USA that pretty much covers the founding of the country (Philadelphia being the original capital of the USA and the location of the Liberty Bell and original Continental Congress. Wash. DC as the current capitol, a beach trip just for giggles, and NYC for plays / New York talk shows / food / etc. etc.)

The train is ridiculously optimized for New York City / Washington DC, with a dropoff point in Union Station Wash. DC and Penn Station in New York City. Both are connected underground to the greater subway systems, so you pretty much have access to the entirety of both cities from the train alone. (In contrast: an airplane ticket to either location will still need an Uber / Taxi to bring you into the city proper).

Union Station in Wash. DC in particular is less than a 1-mile walk from the US Capitol building, a bit over 1-mile to the Smithsonian proper.

While Penn Station is literally next to Madison Square Garden, so you're able to just get out and enjoy some basketball events. You're on Manhattan Island proper, and the subway will take you to any reasonable tourist attraction.
They may still make that, but I suspect developers will not have full access to the full power of the platform.

A thought I should have fleshed out in the above post: the kind of sensor data that enables AR can also be used to deduce a great deal of personal information[0]. With Apple taking a strong position on privacy I suspect they will make only a limited subset of data available to developers.

Spark is this weird ecosystem of people who take absolutely trivial concepts in SQL, bury their heads in the sand and ignore the past 50 years of RDBMS evolution, and then write extremely complicated (or broken) and expensive to run code.

They're a massive telecom in addition to a massive investment fund. They previously owned Sprint. They're a huge corporation in general, that's how they started the Vision Fund in the first place.
The apology was posted in the context of people accusing him of specific misconduct, which allegations he does not seem to have rebutted at the time. You can be charitable and describe the apology as "self-loathing", but his clients can also take the reasonable interpretation that he's admitting culpabilty.

Happy to have someone else dig into the Twitter threads of the time and refute me on this!
As for first paragraph, the two are in no way in opposition. One can be both at the same time. And joining these units in the first place was one of survival tactic. Then you become part.

Also, literally all armies raped, some more then others. Rape is horrible, but it went on in wars a lot. Germans raped, some units really very much a lot. Russian soldiers raped. Both on the way to Germany and then a lot inside Germany. American soldiers raped (less then Germans and Russians). You are bringing it up and it is horrible, but it was not unique to these units at all.

Second, I have no idea how I would acted. I think I would die, because I am sickly in general. Which absolve me of moral choices I guess.No one of us knows how he would really act in such situation. Ressentment and hunger and genrally violence make people ok with things they are not normally.

Go even read that comic about Elan school someone posted on HN. Exact same dynamic in nutshel.

Third, the more I read about history, prisons, wars, genocides and cults and such, the more I became convinced of this. When you create brutal environment, people in it will become brutal gradually. Some more then others and yet others will be victims. But that is what happens every single time.

You can simply follow the first Wikipedia footnote on "cut all ties", in the opening paragraph of the article.
I don't think Andrew Yang's meme received much propagation to come under the types of memes the article is referring to.

One more property I think is very relevant to the types of memes referred to by the article is that these memes want to spread at the exclusion of all others or any variation.

What stood out to me with respect to that event is that while many memes were thrown about, some memes had to be clarified to death without having any effect on the outrage while others continued to be thrown about without requiring any clarification despite being dog whistles for things significantly worse than their seemingly innocuous wording.
It's probably how the first iteration worked before anybody knew what would and wouldn't be intuitive for this kind of utility, and they just haven't updated it since
> Why do people still expect modern software to run at incredible speeds on hard disk drives?

Modern software usually doesn't run at incredible speeds on an nvme drive with top of the line hardware. Modern software is often just slow. What can I do on a modern operating system today that I couldn't do on a predecessor released 20 years ago? What justifies that Windows 10 feels slower to use then Windows XP while Windows 10 runs on hardware that is tens of thousands of times faster?

Under this lens, what really defines modern software is slowness. Take away the advantage of orders of magnitude of hardware improvements and you would be left with something unusably slow.

When I worked at Amazon there was a framework similar to gRPC for internal API’s. This was a few years before gRPC was released and the framework was already a few years old at this point.
