They're not doing anything special to make Elixir specifically better yet, but their private networking is already amazing for it - you can cluster across arbitrary regions completely trivially. It's a really good fit for Elixir clustering as-is even without anything specially built for it. I have no idea how you'd do multi-region clustering in AWS but I'm certain it'd be a lot harder.
Unfortunately, I bet if they added strain relief there would be a myriad of complaints that the cables are too hard to pack/fit in a pocket because the end is too rigid.

Personally, I've never had an issue with this, with 1st or 3rd party lightning cables, or with 1st party magsafe. But, my opinion is a lightning cable is dirt cheap, and people want them in their pocket when worried about battery, whereas a new magsafe charger is expensive and should have more robustness.

I grew up working on a farm. The person in charge was a foreman, and his job was to coordinate how the work was accomplished on the ground by a crew of 5-7 people.

At most fortune 50 employers today, you’d have a director 1000 miles away, a local manager, a supervisor, an auditor and compliance person reviewing the payroll records, and recommending to the director that the 2 workers utilize less overtime. The local manager would eliminate the OT and hire McKinsey to recommend outsourcing the 2 workers, and retain McKinsey to monitor compliance.

I tend to assume OSS contributors/maintainers are working generally to make things better, features I'm not using/don't need aside, they're fixing bugs (that I might not know I'm hitting/about to hit), patching security holes, etc. - so that's one for the 'pro-upgrading' column.

Against that, sure, there might be something bad in the new release (maliciousness aside even, there might be a new bug!). But.. there might be in the old one I've pinned to as well? Assuming I'm not vetting everything (because how many places are, honestly) I have no reason to distrust the new version any more than my current one.

Reproducible builds are an orthogonal issue? You can still keep your dependencies' versions updated with fully reproducible builds. Ours aren't, but we do pin to specific versions (requirements.txt & yarn.lock), and keep the former up to date with pyup (creates and tests a branch with the latest version) and up to date within semver minor versions just with yarn update (committed automatically since in theory it should be safe, had to revert only occasionally).

There seem to be many people in the effective altruism movement, and also it's "longtermism" fraction, that try to think about the trade-offs alluded to in the article very carefully and in a structured way. The article seems to be straw-maning that somewhat and buries valid arguments in lots of flowery rhetorics?

Surely, there are simple arguments around discounting and uncertainty of estimates to be be made, to first criticise points within, say, Bostrom's framework, before moving on to broader moral appeals?

I don't think anyone has made an AC-coupled phone charger in decades since it's way more bulky and expensive. There might be some consumer electronics that uses a transformer to get a low-voltage AC output, but I can't think of any offhand.

Switching supplies should work from DC, but I don't want to give any guarantees. In particular, for a higher-power supply with power factor correction, I'm not sure what it does if the input isn't AC.

Equating stuff you would have to sacrifice your work and support network and forgo your livelihood to help as a normal person vs literally no effect on your day to day is pretty absurd.

If you think the life of a billionaire is so difficult, why don't they just give it all up and live a normal life? Clearly one is preferable to the other.

Also, literally none of this even touches upon being two-faced, abusive, and compulsively lying for profit, which was the context.
Actually this is not the correct sentiment. Elon musk was definitely responsible for the design decisions and success of roadster+ and what tesla ended up being. The early prototype didn’t really have anything super novel and the roadster and other cars weren’t like, a ripoff or remix of whatever prototypes they had. It was a company that was generally setting out to take advantage of high voltage high current switching that had only become possible recently for driving AC motors with duty cycle variation.

The label “founder” is definitely not misplaced. But I suppose it’s a matter of semantics.

How fascinating that, in the middle of this war of philosophies criticizing long-term thinking, a huge advertisement for print copies interrupt both the article and the claims.

I align with Bostrom, personally, as in my view we should structure our society for long-term outcomes -- even if it means we have to save resources now (which makes people uncomfortable). I would think that this is orthogonal to some of the immediate issues stemming from things like wealth inequality.
Your instructions initially say to use WASD to move, which is inconvenient for those of us with our pointing device on the left.

I saw this exact thing a couple of months ago not so far from Arhnem. (I thought it might be a crane, but it was moving very fast... so I could be mistaken.)

This bird was diving at about 30-45 degrees from fairly high, and it suddenly inverted, stayed inverted for a second or so, and then righted itself. It was moving very fast, and you could actually hear the sound (and the changes of sound) of the air as it was moving through it.

There were no other airborne birds of that size that I could see anywhere near it, so I initially thought it was dying or otherwise out of control. But then it descended below view, and I never heard a thump.

I searched for inverted bird flight immediately after and learned that there are a number of observed cases where birds may do that. One theory is that they sometimes do it because they enjoy it. Other theories of course involve chasing prey, observing things, showing off, etc. But I like the idea that a bird might just be having fun. I mean, if I could fly, I think I would screw around all the time just because I could. After all, children will just run around wildly just because they can run.

> Musk said he is in the asperger spectrum. Among other things, it generally makes you not care what other think about you. And may lead to behaviour that is "acted" because all social interactions may be a difficult exercise.
.
Small point of contention- people with high-functioning autism (aspergers pre DSM-5) generally understand and care how they are perceived, but still have difficulty interacting in social spaces. Depending on the individual, communication skills can vary wildly. This is one of the reasons suspected to be behind autism's extremely high co-morbidity with depression disorders.

> This is half true there are NFC API’s to use the NFC chip

There is no API to send raw APDUs to a card or simulate a card (receiving APDUs from the reader). This makes it a non-starter for implementing any kind of smart card (such as receiving a challenge from a reader, signing it with a private key stored in the app - potentially delegated to the secure element - and returning it).

The APIs they provide only allow reading static values off "NFC Forum" tags which is useless for any kind of security or access control.
You should assume intelligence agencies are lying to you to further a certain goal. This is a completely healthy assumption. Of course that is valid for any agency in any country.

It has a GUI.

Click on a picture of a pie chart[1] is enormously easier than[2]:

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

# Pie chart, where the slices will be ordered and plotted counter-clockwise:
Aus_Players = 'Smith', 'Finch', 'Warner', 'Lumberchane'
Runs = [42, 32, 18, 24]
explode = (0.1, 0, 0, 0) # it "explode" the 1st slice

fig1, ax1 = plt.subplots()
ax1.pie(Runs, explode=explode, labels=Aus_Players, autopct='%1.1f%%',
shadow=True, startangle=90)
ax1.axis('equal') # Equal aspect ratio ensures that pie is drawn as a circle.

plt.show()

And (clicking a couple of times) includes: no strings, no integers, no method calls, no named parameters, no numeric formating domain-specific-languages, no libraries, no imports, no tuples, no lists, no braces, no parens, no case-sensitivity, no symbols, no text, no writing, no syntax errors, no saving and running cycle, no having to hold the cell order and positions in your head and count through them to get to Runs[2], no trying to get the image out of the show() popup.

And includes: previews of the available charts, recommended charts, all the styles of chart work through the same UX without having to care how they are named, they popup Wizard dialogs so you don't have to read in advance what parameters are required and what they mean, in-line editing by clicking and dragging to move and resize the whole thing or almost any part of it, change the chart style without having to rewrite code differently, rewrite e.g. axis labels without having to save/run, choosing colours and styles from visual dropdowns, having the chart redraw dynamically as you change the data in the source cells, works in Excel online, works with multiple people having the spreadsheet open, chart is inline with your data in the same worksheet saved with it.

Maybe check out Malta. They have very lax regulation regarding gambling, and maybe some laws would apply to your situation.
Some of what you wrote is rather questionable interpretation, and some others make me wonder if your spouse left the country in 1980s and never visited Korea since.

> Korean society is high patriarchal. Domestic violence is persistent. Families are not complete until they have a son. Multiple daughters are considered a burden. Gender roles are consistently enforced.

Korea does have gender equality issues, but this is outdated info. Decades ago, it was illegal for a doctor to tell the sex of a fetus, because some people would want a son and selectively abort girls, resulting in huge sex imbalance. These days, very few people under 70 would think "a complete family needs a son" - if you say anything like that you'll be publicly ridiculed.

Telling fetus sex was made legal in 2010, because nobody gave a damn about "having a son" any more.
Most (but not all) overlay networks are implemented in kernel. If you compromise one node in a cluster, you can fairly trivially snoop traffic, bias other nodes to send traffic through you, or listen via various mechanisms such that you can intercept traffic flowing between workloads not actually located on the compromised node.

So always encrypt everything unless you’re in a very rare environment with central network control that cannot be compromised or intercepted from a given machine.

This is common practice in post mortem analysis to try to determine the root cause in a blameless manner.

On the next iteration of this issue the eventual culprits of the first probably won't be there to remember what went wrong.

What might survive until then though is the set of procedures and guidelines put in place following the investigation recommendations.

So it's more effective to determine what process were insufficient than which person had the capacity to avoid something.
It mentions directly the idea that:

This means that there is put value on unborn, potentially possible lifes. And then you can start weighing these lifes against currently living humans. And then it becomes perfectly reasonable to perform genocide on impaired, or poor people as this would free up resources to focus on colonizing the solar system.

I think this is a particular counter argument where this kind of weighting human lifes becomes a bad idea. Especially when comparing current actual living, breathing humans against potential future beeings. This absolutely neglects the needs of current humans, with all their human rights to be able to get the share in the world they require to live in dignity.
But some groups of humans might survive, and might still have descendants tens of thousands of years later! It's not guaranteed that humanity goes extinct; we're pretty creative. (Though the same can't be said for a lot of other species.)

I've got a Windows 10 system that uses TPM to seal a bitlocker key, out of the box. And nothing asks for a PIN prior to the login window coming up. Having to be prompted for a PIN to do something as simple as a reboot, isn't a great UX. And also has UI complexities in the pre-boot environment.

So? It seems to me this is a big problem for the default out of the box user experience.

Edit: Ok after searching the article I can't tell how/where they sealed the key. Bitlocker tells the TPM to measure some things and if that measurement matches was in PCR12 (or whatever is defined) then reveal a secret. That secret is the bitlocker key.

So you're essentially saying that if you look at any high-profile success of Tesla or SpaceX, you'll see a result that could have been accomplished by others working in the field for substantially less money?

This seems really questionable to me. I see a fair amount of investment in these fields, but nobody else--even companies of comparable vintage, with comparable money on tap--has come close to the success of Musk's companies. And at the beginning of the time range you're talking about, essentially the last 5 years, both companies had arguably already achieved--if not yet the relatively dominant positions they enjoy now--at least the momentum that got them here. Compared to the vaporous field of EV and space launch startups, they seem like obvious targets for investment.
Another idea -- humans seem to have a hard time when they don't have a long-term idea to rally around. For religionists this is the notion of the afterlife. For many post-religionists it's stoic acceptance of gnostic outcomes (nihilsm, existentialism) or perhaps fervor regarding long-term accomplishments like Longtermism or intelligence surviving heat death of the universe.

I am mostly non technical person but why do we need to resort to firewalls etc. if we can employ UNIX like file permission system for network access? Wouldn't it be awesome if we can allow any installed software to contact ONLY whitelisted domains? Of course this excludes web browsers but you get the idea.

How about our mainstream OSes incorporate that kind of permission system similar to what we have in mobile OSes already have today?
