>When we no longer need each other to learn about that hole in the wall restaurant, that new band

And yet the best information is still person-to-person, old school. It lives in the cracks that software misses and where review systems are gamed. Finding good Indian food is hard - but the locals know. Who has an open mic night? Hard to say without connections. Maybe the ultimate example is real estate - deep knowledge of any given place comes after you've lived there, and understand it's history, is life. And that's impossible to represent online.

Yes: making everything in Shenzen is a problem because now it's the only community that knows how to make and fix things. (Obviously its not 100% the case, but its mostly the case.) That lack of distributed ability has follow-on effects that we don't understand yet -- most worryingly having to do with national security, but also about agency and curiosity and self-determination. Maybe we should have to pass a test before being allowed to use any particular object, showing that we at least know how its made and where it's constituent parts come from.

It's important for people to specify which 5700XT GPU, because there are minor variations (ROW, hardware, cooling, etc) between vendors that can wreak havoc if the drivers don't account for these variances.

He even linked[1] the GPU issue he was having in the post. so he's not the only one.

Yes. Officially, every version up to Android 2.3 was for phones. Samsung wanted to make a tablet and made one with 2.2 and 2.3, even though Android did not officially support tablets for those versions. Android 3.x was a version just for tablets (Honeycomb). Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) merged the phone ability of the 2.x branch with the tablet ability of the 3.x branch - 4.0 was the first Android version which officially supported phone and tablet.
The device would have to be treated as inherently untrustworthy, like your laptop or a PC in a cafe or library. That is unlike the (Edit: false) current expectation that the hardware and OS of the device are a trusted platform.
I'm pretty sure, on the whole, it was a satire of modern days.

But I appreciate the balance of the author, reminding us that there were shortcomings: always trusting police comes to mind.
Or go up an abstraction layer so the type details are not needed.
The Pegasus thing didn't even survive a reboot, it was reinstalled by using the 0-day again on a fresh boot. Replacing the image would have done nothing if they were flashing a version that still had the iMessage vulnerability.
Adding that recent was bad in hindsight. The roads around Stonehenge had been around for a long time, but fell into disuse due to alternatives some years before the A303 was build.
YC startups should be making 4-day 8-hour weeks part of their pitch to employees. They don't have the mature company bureaucracy holding them back from changing quickly.
> but in recent years I'd imagine that's been getting decimated by east Asian manga

France has been consuming manga for decades. It's the market with the most translations (more than in the US) and is by itself 40% of the European market. There were already some notable anime coproductions between France and Japan in the 80s.

Amusingly, like with comic books, the culture surrounding mangas in France is actually very different than in the US. As pretty much everyone has been exposed to anime as a child, there is far less of a stigma surrounding it and you can consume some without being seen as a weirdo.

If it hasn't killed BD yet, it probably never will. I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually growing the market.
Nutrition available =/= nutrition consumed. If there was a large market for produce someone would seek to fill it...minimally with produce stands/farmers markets/etc.

I also am aware of a mainstream set of people who do not mix Indianness with submission to Hindi-imposition.
While people like you do exist, I have also met many people who have no problems belonging to India but rightly abhor Hindi-imperialism exported from cow-belt North.

The attitude of the current Nationalist government is only their version of Indianness is correct. In this, you a patriotic Indian, who speaks Hindi, polythestic idol-worshipping Hindu, conforming to the caste system, eating vegetarian food only, believing in subjugation of women, and hating other religions among other things.

This is where the real problem lies.
But all those replacements seem to be with someone pulling apart the phone's components secured with glue. It looks extremely risky and likely to cause damage to phone or components like display ended up getting scratched.

Also, are original spec batteries available easily? I don't want to put something which is not the same as it might cause some battery related accident.
There are still tons of games out there with gacha/loot box style elements, basically gambling for kids.
The white collar internet loves to blindly fetishize "quality" tools but professionals are always trying to strike a balance because every buck spent on overhead is a buck you're not getting paid

That certainly wasn't my intention. My last roommate was an auto mechanic, then later a SnapOn dealer. He and the techs at the shops he serviced had massive rolling carts that cost $20k+ filled with another $30k in tools.

Certainly there were some cheaper tools in those carts, but as far as I could tell, they were mostly SnapOn or Mac.
Agreed - I'm still on a Pixel 2 and the phone is running great except the battery life. I have to charge it twice a day now.
Interesting. Do you know if Dollar General is cheaper per calorie when talking actual ready made meals? The linked article talks about worse price per ounce, which might mean something very different.
I donate to PBS for the streaming, but I wish they would update their content more frequently, or rather they have a lot of content that I don’t care much about (especially the local programming). Mostly I’m interested in the nature, science, and history documentaries, especially the nature and nova series, but they only show a new episode once every few weeks.

How are you getting paid more than Google if they're a private company? Are they paying $400k liquid? Monopoly money stocks cannot be factored in as real liquid comp unless you can actually liquidate it. If this is a known company to IPO in a year or something then maybe you can make an argument but... I don't think they're comparable, IMO.
The reason smaller stuff is slightly more expensive is shipping costs. Compare two identical products in any store, the larger one will be cheaper, the smaller one will be more expensive, and this scales with weight.

TLDR: people who have never worked in retail, don't understand retail.

Also, saying that these stores are more expensive is crazy if you actually lived at a time when these stores didn't exist. These stores grew because production moved offshore for many products, and retailers took all that profit to their bottom-line (and the five layers of distributors). A lot of these chains cut this out and returned that profit to the consumer. Ofc, the product composition of each store is different (the ones with more FMCG do more optimisation of store size, range of products)...but yes, it turns out people will complain about lower prices...loudly (I have seen this in almost every country where similar formats exist, the loudness of the people complaining about low prices outweighs everything else).
That's certainly not true. NPR criticizes Bill Gates often as part of the "celebrity billionaire" group, and recently had a story about his affair with an employee.

They don't keep it all to themselves, giant technology companies have open sourced things like mapreduce, kubernetes, golang, react, kafka, and more.
No, not usually. Usually they are replacing a less profitable, but larger grocery store with a highly profitable, smaller dollar store. It's a greater profit at the cost of product selection.
At least he's aware and honest about the decision he was making.

Maybe circumstances unexpectedly got him into the situation of having kids yet not ready to prioritize the kids over other things he wanted to do.

Or maybe he didn't think kids would benefit from a parent around as much as I and many others think kids would.

My own parents seemed to put the kids first, then other duties, very selflessly, so that's my default assumption and feeling for what I'd do. And effectively why I don't yet have kids, since career isn't yet where I want it to be.
The root problem is the populace being too poor to afford fresh fruit. Blaming dollar stores is a waste of time.
It makes sense if you think of it as security from you instead of security for you
This makes sense.

I think it's really important to spell out what "communication ability" means so that all the interviewers know what they're looking for. And more generally, it's very important that before you start the hiring process, you have a clearly defined set of criteria that everyone participating in the hiring process agrees on.
Lol I bought an apple because it doesn't try to find out every aspect of my behavior and then send it off to 3rd part advertisers. also they get updates for 2-3x as long as android phones. The specs are close enough and I see my phone as a tool and most people I know do as well. I can't say I've ever heard someone say "ewwwwww you have an android?" . Maybe teenagers say that crap, but I've never heard an adult care.

Anecdote: OkCupid is the only website or app where I've had an account hijacked. I got it back with a password reset, but the profile and pics were filled with bogus content.
I understand. But what is purpose of `Maybe`? The reason one would reach to the above construct is precisely to offload (pushing to later) the handling of a value that may (or may not) be present at runtime such that a developer can write code assuming the value is always present and ignore the `Nothing` case.

Sure you can unwrap it right away, but that isn't necessary because you could also just "bind" the next function call to the monad (which is more idiomatic to the construct). You never have to worry about that value in this case because... well... that's the benefit of using `Maybe`.

I'm not super familiar with Haskell, but my sense is that the author is trying more to please the compiler (at a specific point in the program!) than simplify the logic. That is, they want a concrete value (`configDirs`) to exist in the body of `main` more than they want the cleanest representation of the problem in code.
Sure. But, if you lack the ability to make good use of frozen produce, then that maybe isn't a realistic option, anyway. Then you might be looking at something more like a choice between TV dinner and McDonald's.

I'm really surprised with the issues with the graphics chip. I have a Radeon 5700XT and have not had any issues with it once the kernel had support for it. (which now that I think about it, I purchased it after the kernel updates were out)
Why would you do that? There's a million webview based browsers readily available for download from f-droid or directly from github
I guess this is where Apple and Google are so radically differ in their messaging.

Why do I as a customer care about Tensor or TPU, what does it give me or more clearly, why should I care?

Apple's messaging is about longer battery life or instant start or whatever, things I as a user see and notice.

How does having a Tensor or whatever core affect me in day to day useage?

I'm not getting that message clearly from skimming the article, other than "We have Tensor"
Dollar general does frequently have a high markup in poor communities without alternatives. It’s for lack of a better term poverty optimized which counterintuitively isn’t about the lowest cost per pound of flour etc.
Maybe we travel in different circles. Most people I know who get an iphone get a new one when it "breaks" or the battery dies too quickly.
The video game industry is one of the key factors to the success of the US technology industry. Some of the most innovative software is written by game developers. As we move into a future where AR/VR and digital worlds will become commerce hubs, the US is arguably incredibly well set up to take advantage of it.

Video game bashing seems like another moral panic to me. People are spending more time playing video games than slaving away flipping burgers. So what?
I think you replied the wrong comment

Yes, but also, as the author points out in several places, we lived in a world of serendipity, patience, boredom (in a good way ... something that might lead to a kind of forced contemplation?).

One wonders the degree to which our mental health actually thrived better with that extra time, accidental rather than deliberate discovery.
Quick and dirty translation, apologies for errors but this should get you the gist:

"Gaston, bring me the last letter of insults from de Mesmaeker"

"I'm curious how long it will take him to retrieve that from his"

"mess...."

"err, thanks"

"Strange, he must have had it in hand by chance".

"Let's do a second test"

"Please fetch me the 4603rd response to the latest contest, it is ur"

"gent"

"Urr... thanks"

"That's not possible, I know the mess in his place"

"And the letter signed 'a new reader of 78'"

"It upsets me, it upsets me"

"And the message sent by that group of hippies"

"He's invented a new system for classification of documents"

"And look, in every piece there are tiny holes, it is a system based on micro-perforations"

"I love my cactus, all of the correspondence organized and visible"

Enjoy :)

> Safe Rust doesn't really let you introduce concurrency bugs either, which you admit show up even in well abstracted C.

It was really obvious stuff that was immediately reproduced though. Related to a refactor taking into account some learnings that restricted concurrency almost to a single implementation file.

My conjecture is that if code is littered with synchronization primitives, the structure is wrong. A system that automates the painful part of getting the use of synchronization primitives right is possibly rewarding bad structure, at least in the short term.

I haven't tested this but here you go:

Yeah, that's definitely true.

I think more than software updates, iPhone has an aspirational value in many parts of the world so there is good demand from people who can't buy a new one. Pixel in itself doesn't hold that value and there are manufacturers who will have an Android phone with Pixel's specs in half the price of Pixel within a year of its launch.
Where I live in FL,US one third of the peaker plants are oil from my understanding. There are plenty of oil and natural gas storage all over the US including at the peaker plants.

I am actually more interested in automobile fires, where both batteries and oil (refined in gasoline or diesel or even plastic) are the main worries, but I simply searched oil fire safety as I was focused more on power plants from this story.

Nuclear seems to have no problem getting reported on the news, so I didn't feel the need to bring it up although there is a lot to discuss there on real safety vs percieved.
If you look at the history of the Public Broadcasting Act [1] that established the CPB and eventually PBS, it seems clear that it was passed in response to poorly-funded educational programming not being able to compete with high-budget commercial network TV. Its authors wanted to make it easier for smaller, non-commercial entities to produce and distribute high-quality educational content.

In that regard, the Internet (aided by inexpensive video gear and editing software) has succeeded far beyond their wildest dreams. The breadth and depth of educational content available just on YouTube is incredible.

The same forces that make it easy to produce and distribute educational content also make it easy to produce and distribute misinformation. This is a problem, but's unclear how a "PBS for the internet" would solve it.

For example, if you look at the one concrete piece of legislation mentioned in the article:

> The Local Journalism Sustainability Act takes a different approach to the government grant model. The bill would, for example, give a tax credit to people who donate to nonprofit newsrooms, or to small businesses who buy advertising at a nonprofit outlet.

It's not clear to me why people wouldn't just choose to donate to or buy advertising in outlets that promote whatever form of misinformation or partisan information that suits their tastes.

Designing Chips in a 'Lawless' Industry
Last time had a mac book (2015) the experience was terrible. The wifi would drop every few hours, it was such a painful experience, it even froze on me during a national conference presentation which was hell of embarrasing. This was after years of seeing comments like this and deciding I wanted to see whether macos really was unix but better. In my experience it wasn't.

So finally, the problem with personal experience is it's just that. Vast numbers of people use linux everyday without issues. And...apparently, numbers of people use macos everyday (and wifi doesn't cut out every two hours??? after my experience it's hard to believe but idk, people on the internet say it's true, right)
You're moving the goalposts. Whether reading is better than watching is an interesting debate unrelated to the topic at hand.

I think this is the wrong takeaway. I understand your point, but ultimately the company failed and there is a possibility Elizabeth Holmes will go to jail. There was no financial payout. Doubling down on bullshit just leads to a worse reckoning (at least in a world with accountability, and sadly that's not always the case).
I very much agree with everything you wrote, except for the arrogance bit. Many actually suffer from the impostor syndrome and just a few I could call arrogant. I'm sorry you had to deal with them but please don't generalize from just a few.
Well understood! The ocean is supersaturated in the ocean (ie. there is about 20x more of it dissolved than you would expect). In fact it's the single largest deposit of calcium in the world. Risk of running out is zero. Calcium in the ocean comes from dissolved limestone (this does not emit CO2)
