That's really impossible to say until you better define the criteria for success. Most profitable? Most units sold? Greatest dominance in its category? Longest reign? Most cultural relevance?

I don't think iPhone will win any single one of them individually. Grouping together some or all of them...maybe, but probably still no. Heck it might not even the most successful mobile phone ever.
Being that it is a huge tourism driver in Japan I would assume if it was being done they would go both routes to get 2 separate bloomings. An alternate theory would be to choose tress that all bloom same time and this could if early bloomers have less variability lead to average early blooming. Then would that make up 1% of the increase in data or 10 or 90
I can assure you that there are no tech secrets on Capitol Hill in Seattle. It is a bar district and lively neighborhood, but contrary to its name has little to do with government.

Gray Goo was really really good but pretty much fizzled. Nobody has brought that kind of budget in since. Westwood[esc]cwPetroglyph subsequently made some very fun "8bit" styled RTSs with a more CnC flavor. We also just got a CnC/RA remaster, StarCraft Remaster, and WC3 remaster. So RTS almost feels more like a historical than a vital genre at this point. Which is a shame because it's imo more accessable than a MOBA (in which every match you must strap in, prepare to endure abuse if you suck, not surrender, and click really fast.)
Planet Money (NPR) ran a segment in 2018 related to Trumps promise of growing GDP by 3-5%+. They theorized 3 ways to do so with one being "...double our immigrant population over the next decade". Import people, they take jobs and spend money to grow GDP.

Another option was delay retirement by about 10 years or work to 73 to expand the labor force and continue keeping people employed past (or into more) peak earning years. More income = more spending = higher GDP. Or, force labor
participation to pull those out of the workforce in.

And the third option was to enable 2 side by side dot-com capital purchasing booms or develop a new technology (like desktop/personal computers) that enables spending capital and increasing worker productivity at 2x the rate during the dot-com boom.

Between those 3 options, immigration is a clear winner. We have the space though we need to invest in infrastructure/schools to build it out. The jobs are mostly there esp. after the last 4 years drove immigration, legal or not, way down. We trashed the Irish, Italians, Polish, Chinese, even put Japanese into internment camps about 70 years back before normalizing most of those groups into American Culture (at least in decent parts of the country).

A taco truck on every corner is just a new variation of the American Dream. Immigrant turned small business owner/employer making a buck off the entrenched population to buy (or build) a home with 2 car garage and a covered section for the truck itself, maybe an RV down the line. 100 year old research by Thomas on Polish immigrants shows it takes less than 3 generations for an immigrant family to follow local customs, language, and other norms. In 40-60 years we'll be a more robust, wealthier, stronger nation thanks to a taco truck on every corner.

Thomas has an odd career (and love life) but did develop a few neat theorems including how immigrants become part of the local culture over just a few short generations. His Thomas Theorem, "if men define situations as real, they are real in their consequences.", is not only profound but evergreen. How one interprets the situation will alter ones reaction like an oncologist always seeing cancer or a network admin always faulting DNS (usually correctly so). We have a sect of the US population that considers election meddling/fraud and more as real although experts, leaders, and many more note how insane those conspiracy theories are. But they are real in their consequences with immense division on topics as straightforward as vaccinations or the existence of the pandemic. It's kid of silly how even as technology advances, people stay pretty much the same. In large groups we're still just monkeys with quality tools.

> If I've participated in conversations on 5 different topics that have moved on, it can sometimes be tiring to have those old threads reopened with more discussions.

I reckon that’s more due to reopening old conversations regardless of whether it’s threaded or not. In fact, I feel threads make it easier to return to those conversations again: your message is there in that side-chats history and not in some global history where now people are scrolling back-and-forth to remember the prior conversation.

> It's like having 3 text conversations while also being out to dinner with friends.

Threads are like 3 text conversations + a vocal conversation. Not having threads is like 4 vocal conversations all over each other.

I would rather the commercial tell me how purposeful their car is, not how much fun it would be to drive. It's extremely fake/in bad taste/disconnected from reality to try to sell me a Nissan Versa based on how much fun I am going to have in it.

Correct. We use the pretty much the same setup on GCP. All scaling is automatic. When we deploy new code we just run a jenkins job that creates an image from custom debian packages. Push that to GCP and it rolls it out automatically to all our DCs.
Many drivers of SUV are not aware of the body of their vehicle because these are so large and high.

How many a large car is turning, say right (via a dedicated lane), but 10-20% of the vehicle is still in the other lane? Hundred times every week probably... This is just driving me crazy because they are not a bus or a very large delivery truck! They are just an Audi, Volvo, BMW, Mercedes, etc ...
I came here to say something like this, it makes me sad too, but I do have commentary on it.

Imagine buying beer or wine from your local dude who brews for fun, like at a farmers market. There's a sense of community in things like that. But you can't, that guy would have to spend six figures on commercial licensing and FDA inspections and code compliance and whatever else.

We can't just buy things from people anymore, we have to be consumers and can only buy from businesses, there has to be a clear cut distinction, all our relationships must be in compliance. Governments are regulating and taxing our communities out of existence and leaving us with a sterile system of impersonal distribution in which they are the middleman so that they can milk every cent that is "rightfully" theirs out of every single interaction everyone has.
No real response but oversimplification/staw-manning will do just fine, huh?

Are you trying to say that the situation in Europe is just "business as usual" or something?

Now I don't know if you've been paying attention these last few years, but in case you're not aware European countries have taken in a pretty unprecedented number of migrants over the last decade. Many of those migrants were/are young men from regions with cultural norms that are fundamentally different from the European countries that they end up in. In addition, many of these migrants lack strong proficiency in the standard language of the host country, and do not possess a level of education that would generally be commensurate with their age in the host country. Note that none of this is meant as a value judgement, it's just the reality of the situation. It's not an easy situation for the migrant or for the administration of the countries taking them in. It's not really any secret that integration/assimilation has failed in many parts of Europe, and this all has consequences.

With regards to gun violence, I don't know about Europe in General but Sweden's rate of gun homicides has risen consistently every year over the last decade. Obviously the numbers are nothing compared to what you'd see in the United States, but if the problem is getting worse, then it's probably worth talking about. Also, for a highly-developed Western country, Sweden experiences a large number of hand-grenade attacks every year in a pattern that also seems to be increasing.

But the main cause of violence tends to be organized crime, and as seen by the murder of Peter R De Vries earlier this year, a lot of European police agencies are simply not cut out to deal with organized crime in their current state.

I used to live an hour outside of Sacramento, CA in the gold country. But even though I had DSL My internet was 768 kilobits per sec, when cable came in it was only 5 megabits per sec. 70 per month in 2016 So I rented my home and moved to Los Angeles area where I can pay for 200 MegaBits Per Sec Down, and 10 MegaBits per sec up for 85 per month
With all due respect, kindness and context that I do not know you, your kids, family context, views or environment.

In my experience, kids who has plenty of access and exposure to multiple different hobbies tend to chose to spend their time on hobbies rather than passive consumption. I know one example where the parents goal was a minimum of 2 hobbies at any time when the kid grow up so that if they lost enthusiasm for one they can always refocus on the other. Together with school activities, homework, and dedicated (and planed) social time between the parent and child, there simply isn't much time to choose passive content consumption.

Every family is different and it is not a universal cure for anything, but I think it demonstrate that kids do not simply choose passive content consumption out of an addiction. They chose it when it seems like the best option among the accessible/experienced alternatives.

A while ago I came across a really cool technology I wanted to use. Turns out it was patented, and the patent was bought by IBM.

IBM had merged it into Watson, kept the acronym, but changed the words. Then they stopped making it available in any meaningful way.

I was so pissed. I’m sure my company would have paid out the nose for it.

I got the feeling it was a capture-and-kill situation.

This but with the Mario games. I couldn’t believe it there were shortcuts in the first game. Someone told me and I didn’t believe them. Same with contra and how you could have more than 3 lives. The shortcuts spread through word of mouth and some you wouldn’t find out after years of gameplay.
It's conceptually similar, but we're trying to put that power into product owners hands (not just the dev/devOps side) and really separate deployment from release to customers. PM me if you want a demo!
> How do you copy-paste file or folder paths between terminal and Finder?

Cmd-C the file in Finder and Cmd-V in Terminal pastes the escaped path. You can also drag and drop the file. To go the other way I used the `open` command (which acts like clicking something in Finder). For example, `open .` or Cmd-Shift-G (Go -> Go to Folder...)

On laptops, Fn-Left Arrow (Home) scrolls to the top and Fn-Right Arrow scrolls to the bottom (End). I agree it's not obvious, but it's more ergonomic than moving your hand to where the Home/End traditionally are on a keyboard. It's also exactly the same as on a 'LG 17" gram Laptop'--the second image result when I searched for "laptop."

I don't slight people who prefer Windows and won't argue macOS gets things right, either, but I find the Windows UI frustrating especially in tandem with a terminal. I used Windows exclusively from 1 or 3-whatever until XP, dropped it, then took a job when 10 was first being released and tried to give it an honest try. I'm sure it's just my familiarity and preference, but I greatly prefer macOS and almost any Linux GUI to Windows.
The research and engineering of new mobility aids is fine, but the inventor/CEO's quote, "Ten years from now, there will be no, or far fewer, wheelchairs" belies an attitude strongly criticized by many in the disability community. And in the video footage he says, "wheelchairs are an anomaly, men and women, human beings are meant to be upright". Imagine saying "Bicycles an anomaly—humans are meant to be upright, not in some aero-dynamic tucked position."
Deriding one form mobility tech (an asset to more than 10,000,000 people) to promote another potential one is disappointing.

> that leaks

To who?

I think we have to stop with this nonsense of end2end encrypted for nothing. Back in the day we only used plain text protocols (with one still in use, the email, but all old chat protocols like IRC, XMPP, where plain text) and nobody cared. Now we all need end2end encrypted messages for what? The absurd thing is that we want end2end encryption to talk with our friends about last night football game, but we receive our bills, medical reports, bank balance, and all sort of official documents via email, that is not end2end encrypted. And nobody seems to care even about using GPG to encrypt the emails (something it's around since forever basically). But a chat app has to be end2end encrypted because it's cool.

I don't care about encryption, I use Telegram because it has more features, thanks to the fact that the messages are on the server (and thus I don't have to waste space on my phone for stuff that gets sent, in fact I use Telegram to send large file usually or even just to transfer them between my devices), chats are synced in real time on every device, I can log into another device whenever I want, I can use it without installing a client on a computer.

It's not a false dichotomy at all. The discussion is about constant parental attention to childrens' activities; your parent points out a situation with the complete absence of such attention, and happy children nonetheless, as a counterpoint to the narrative. It's a good point and it's unfair to flippantly dismiss it.

> Docker had mostly vanished as a buzzword, people were only talking about Kubernetes and looking for kubernetes experience.

I don't know if we are doing it wrong at my job but... I feel like Kubernetes is just a way to orchestrate Docker images running as pods (amongst many other things I'm sure).

I know Kubernetes doesn't require Docker images but... how many shops are using k8s without Dockerfile build + tag + publish of images for containers?
Other OEMS are loaded with debt which reflects in their valuation, if measured in Enterprise value Tesla vs OEMS- the numbers doesn't give so much headroom as you suggest.

But yes, right now their valuation is a bit high, but reflect on this ;
Tesla is in a net cash position, have already the infrastructure and technology to make electric cars. They now have to replicate/duplicate, create new models and markets, but they have a very solid footing within the EV space.

The other OEMS is laden with debt which was used to build outdated factories and invested in technologies which suddenly have a payback period in the singles, instead of decades - and they still must invest heavily into EVs to maintain their market share and service their debt.

The incumbent OEMS are having to run the gauntlet of the valley of death;
Falling demand for gas/diesel while at the same time investing heavily into EV production.

Most jobs have at least:
4 weeks paid leave (annual)
2 weeks sick leave (which may require a note depending on company policy)
12 months parental leave for new/adoptive parents
6 weeks of Long service leave after 7 years, growing at the rate of roughly one week per year thereafter

So they tested people when or before they arrived and it said negative for covid, and then they tested again later while they were still in the hospital and it said positive for covid?

reads article

Of course people with Covid tested positive after admission because the test only occurs after admission.

reads article again

Of course the admission symptoms were not "for Covid" as the symptoms help you lead down the path of what the ailment is!

This study is about potential errors in reporting, which still need to be investigated.
Hey, always wondered: how come you tried to store the DB data on the docker’s system disk instead of the external volume? This would bypass all the driver stability problems, make the data recoverable trivially, decrease cpu usage, etc...

I know that there are posts from 2016 explaining how to do so, but the article had no mention of this?
MOBAs are far from the first genre of video game that are easier to learn than RTS, so I’m not sure you’ve explained why MOBAs specifically have put competitive pressure on RTS. Is it just because MOBAs look very superficially like RTS games, with a top-down view of fighting units?

If you look at Apple as if you were to acquire them (in some alternate universe where you had that financial capability), then yes I'd agree with you that their brand is their single biggest asset.

However, I agree with the parent - you actually have to have great products and services that delight to become big and relevant... and stay big and relevant. This enables your sexy branding to be effective. Your sexy branding doesn't make your products and services better. It just lures consumers in, but that only works for so long unless you deliver on your promise. A brand is a promise kept as the old saying goes.

This is from 7 years ago but a pretty good: The Twilight of Brands - https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/02/17/twilight-brand...

"the rise of brands was a response to an information-poor environment. When consumers had to rely on advertisements and their past experience with a company, brands served as proxies for quality; if a car was made by G.M., or a ketchup by Heinz, you assumed that it was pretty good. It was hard to figure out if a new product from an unfamiliar company was reliable or not, so brand loyalty was a way of reducing risk. As recently as the nineteen-eighties, nearly four-fifths of American car buyers stayed loyal to a brand."

"Roku, a maker of streaming entertainment devices, has thrived even though its products have to compete with similar ones made by Apple (which is usually cited as the world’s most valuable brand)."

So let's say you buy Apple (just the name and branding and nothing else) - you still aren't going to be shit without everything else.

We aren't in an information poor environment. Consumers would know the brand was sold and that the quality could not be trusted.

I felt the same way when deploying to production with docker manually back then.

But honestly after we used k8s we everything just works. Although I realise that GKE is actually moving to containerd for newer clusters? Not sure what made the decision, but last time I had to restart a container manually due to my stupid mistake, the api doesn’t seem to be much different
