When manufacturers (after taxi companies) start competing for this, the manufacturer that can have 1 remote driver per 100 vehicles will beat the one that needs 1 remote driver per 10 vehicles. A manufacturer might require massive halls with thousands of workers to pilot their fleet of cars, but so long as customers pay the bills, that's no problem. And customers will need to pay the bill through subscriptions on FSD packges.

I don't see Uber or Peloton as solving any particular problem but more like fairly sophisticated mechanisms to make money off regulatory or leasehold arbitrage.

Peloton hasn't really solved any social problem. The bike works just as well for burning calories as any other, what they managed to accomplish is sell people licenses for something they used to own at twice the price with a subscription on top and make them feel good about themselves instead of feeling like they're being robbed. That's the real innovation.

Uber hasn't solved any material transportation problem either. We're not suddenly able to 10x our urban transport capacity because of it. Probably the opposite, if anything it's induced congestion and draws resources from the modes of transport that actually solve those problems. The innovation here is that it's managed to do this while pretending not to be an employer.
It sounds like German employees in Germany and it’s territories working for the german subsidiary did work for the German government yes, and after the war was declared they did some very shady stuff. Similarly American citizens working for German companies in America did work for the US government during the war.

I don’t really see what’s surprising about any of this. The implication seems to be that the US directors of IBM were supposed to do something about it, but I’m not sure what.

Of course if some of these contracts for the concentration camps and such were tendered during peacetime, and this was known and it was possible for the US operation to exercise oversight, that would be incredibly damning.
> It's basically sourdough bread I gave up on.

And I can't eat store bought bread anymore, even the artisan stuff. Which kind of figures, I spend about 30 minutes of actual work on 2 loaves and there's no way a professional operation would spend that much time on theirs.
I'd say exposing the info of any user, even if they're not on your contact list, is pretty shoddy.

A certain graphics card manufacturer has claimed that graphics cards (in continual use) reduces their performance by around 10% each year. Of course, its a near-myth, only saved by the fact that certain components (like fans and the thermal interface on certain cards) loses their performance due to factors beyond their control.

The solution is obviously to clean the damn thing.

This is the intensity and violence of their feeling that shocked me to the point that I still remember this case after around 5/6 years or more.

This is a good reminder, I think, of the benefits of government spending on basic research. The way I look at is that tech companies are mostly bad at research and innovation, because it's expensive and it's often hard to derive revenue from some entirely novel new technology, and there's a big risk of someone coming along and doing it better. (Innovators dilemma and all that.) Tech companies are mostly pretty good at productizing technology, though. At least, they're about as good at it as anyone else. (There are a few well-run non-profit-driven open source projects that make very good products too.)

Good Universities are better at actual innovation and inventing novel technologies, but they usually have little incentive to productize things. Or to put it in different terms, the product is the journal or conference proceeding article, because that's what satisfies the people who write grants.

The grants come mostly from government, which isn't good at innovation or productization, but they know how to pay other people to do those things for them. It's a weird system: government taxes employees and (to a lesser degree) businesses, and then uses that money to pay University researchers to invent things that are eventually used in the private sector as the foundation of some new commercial product.

Is there a more efficient way to do this? Probably. We could have more government funding to Universities directly for productization of their research, or give out a lot of grants to individual people who are just maintaining open source projects or making/maintaining something similar that many people benefit from but the value would be lost if one were to try to make money off of it. We could also give taxpayers some say in how the basic research portion of their taxes is spent.
Generally construction and materials. Particularly for offshore the supportive infrastructure and maintenance takes up a big chunk of the cost - the expectation is that those costs won't scale with turbine size.

This.

Innivation is fueled by money. Innovation is risky. Private investors need a return on their investment. Public doesn't need a direct financial return.

Hence innovation thrives wherever there is money with little strings attached. For smaller sums, private investors can do that (think about an accelerator that gives 1 million to 10 startups). For bigger sums, you need a space race against a foreign power funded by the gov.
Been looking for such a write up. Kudos to the author.
Ok so first of all let me just say the chart was a joke I wrote for Twitter. Then Joël Franusic suggested I add a bunch of meta tags to the post so that Twitter would show the chart as the "card" for the post on Twitter. To make that work I had to pull the chart into the actual site (I'd just posted it to Twitter originally), so I figured, what the hell, might as well slap it on the end of the post. I don't even know if the ratings I came up with make sense! I docked Biscuits because they're chained public key verification on an per-API-request basis, but who knows? I haven't used them! The chart isn't serious! And I feel like it's all I'm talking about now!

To top it all off, my dumb meta tags didn't even work; they needed to be in the <head> of the page, and I'll be damned if I'm going to figure out how to do that in our static site generator configuration.

Not an expert, but the blades are already tricky to transport on land. If they keep increasing in length, it might be only feasible to transport them via ship or transport helicopter.

> When do I get that? L4? L5?

It doesn't really matter so long as there are fallback drivers in all situations. An lower level autonomy car would remotely connect to the backup driver (in a third world call center) several times per hour in order to behave like a higher level one.

A higher level one would connect more rarely. The only difference I notice as a customer is I pay more out of the box for the higher level car and less as a subscription , while the lower level car costs less out of the box and has a higher subscription fee because the human costs are higher.
Great idea and super exciting results. The more we can keep patients out of the hospital (even outside of Covid times) the better for everyone.

I used it a bit before that (2004-2006) but it was a great resource and then Wikipedia started really coming along. I think that now, however, it is a better resource than wikipedia when I want to double check something because of the simplicity as wikipedia articles have expanded quite a bit even on simple things.
I have one phone that once got into a reboot loop: its battery was flat, so I’d provide it with a USB power source, it’d charge the battery for about five seconds, then it’d try to start up automatically (without me telling it to), but that would stop it charging the battery from which is all it seems to be willing to draw from at that stage of boot, so after another about five seconds it’d die of a flat battery again, then after another few seconds it’d recognise the power source and start the loop again. The entire cycle took about 17 seconds, like clockwork. Not sure quite why it went like that; historically it had been willing to charge from flat, and since then I think it is too, though I haven’t used it much for the last couple of years, and I can’t remember whether it normally powers on automatically in this case. I tried almost all combinations of four USB cables and five power sources (Surface Book, car with 12V → USB adapter, Surface Book AC adapter which has an additional USB outlet, Surface Dock, and a wall charger) before finding some combination that worked, not triggering the untimely and defective power-on.

Wrong guess. If I was asking questions, I would have put a question mark in there.

My advice to anyone that's struggling to land a job is to build a clone of a popular product from start to finish and to open-source it.

Then include that as part of your portfolio of work.

It does not have to be completely functional. Pick a product that people use daily: Chat apps, calendars, music players, etc.

Very useful tool indeed. Worth investing some time in if you like doing data processing on the command line.

Stuff I do with it:

- prepare json request bodies for curl commands by constructing json objects using environment variables

- grab content from a deeply nested json structure for usage in a script

- extract csv from json

- pretty print json or ndjson output curl ... |jq -C '' | less -r. I actually have an alias set up for that.

The syntax is a bit hard to deal with. I find myself copy pasting from stack overflow a lot when I know it can do a particular thing but just can't figure out how to do it.
Is the article not saying the opposite, though? Power is very much proportional to scale.

> Well that's illegal in almost all (western) countries. A device need to have an declaration of all radio equipment inside in some form (depending on locale).

I agree, but I'm pretty sure that it will be buried on the declarations page.

> It also would be a lot harder to profit from ads when you have to pay for lte bandwidth especially with the prices in the US.

You vastly overestimated the costs of wholesale network access, which is surprisingly cheap, that's why Kindles (for the most part) do have Amazon-provided SIM cards. Bad news is that you can't get it: basically you need commit to a minimum bandwidth (in hundreds of terabytes range) with a minimum subscription count (in hundreds of thousands range) to get these cheap prices, which would be more expensive than individual plans.
"Do not track" isn't even close to what I'm talking about. The only difference would be that the cookie banner is presented by the browser in a standardised way, similar to e.g. the webcam permissions dialogue. It would have the same (non-existent) legal enforcability as now but the browser could enforce it by blocking cookies and sites would be more usable, with fewer dark patterns.

If you're really passionate about it, go for it. I'd say we're at a really early stage where the obvious uses are heavily researched, but there will be more niche less funded applications as time passes, like geology. It's like app development in 2010.

They are very lucrative, so landlords take apartments off the market to turn them into AirBnBs. This raises rent prices in touristic areas.

Beyond that, it means you might have loud neighbours you can't control or a constant traffic of visitors in your building. They are not regulated like hotels, nor taxed like them.
No idea as of yet. There are some better ways to represent workflows so they are more easily composable and/or visible, there could be a startup in there :)

Some things tried: totally custom solution (most flexible), GitLab (unlike Jenkins, you can define a pipeline as a graph), BPMN (pretty heavy Java solution, you still need to build a frontend, there are a lot of tooling but kind of big overhead and low flexibility), Airflow (good visualisation, good for short duration workflows, there is some infrastructure overhead).
monopolies, conglomerates, cartels, monocultures, oligarchies, fragility, lack of diversity, lack of options, lack of checks and balances, inequity...

any way you slice it this cluster of words represents a way of organizing society that is suboptimal and detrimental. anything that can be done by one entity can be done better by multiple competing entities if they are forced to operate in a coopetitive environment.

nobody should have to "prove" anything in the messy specific circumstances of particular industries and companies. society and its economic/political organization should have automatic triggers and disincentives that would prohibit the formation of such structures in the first place.
This touches on the "Commoditize Your Complement" phenomenon.

> A classic pattern in technology economics, identified by Joel Spolsky, is layers of the stack attempting to become monopolies while turning other layers into perfectly-competitive markets which are commoditized, in order to harvest most of the consumer surplus.

regulatory capture is one way to achieve this goal in your sector.
In the past Samsung built phones with both a swappable battery and a headphone jack and in a test it survived a run through a washing machine. No problem if there's an incentive to do it right. Not to mention Apple was pretty much the last to the waterproof smartphone party even though they always locked their phones down the most.

And I don't mind thickness. Thicker means better ergonomics in my experience, at least compared to today's oversized sheets of metal and glass. And I bet you put those in a case which adds 2-3mm thickness. Well, that sure paid off, did it?

And weight? I can't even come up with a scenario where I'd care about that. Make it weigh less than a pound and I'm okay with it.
Yep, doesn't make sense to make this comparison.

Specially since EU has a (mostly) functional social security system, which the US doesn't. It takes money to run that system and I'll happily take a pay cut to the gov if people in need are getting "my" money.

Oh right. I didn't catch that. I can imagine how one may confuse the two 'coils' in such an illustration https://youtu.be/n594CkrP6xE?t=292. There was also a misspelling of Doug's last name as 'EngelbErt'. My guess is the animators and illustrators aren't as technically inclined as the content directors but I could be wrong.

Regardless, I thought the narrative was very well thought out.
If I was doing a test like this I'd run the benchmark a large number of times (at least ten) in various (not necessarily strictly controlled) typical usage scenarios. Ideally there would be a variety of handsets of the same model too (assuming variance between those is small). Then I'd filter for outliers and take a mean. I like this kind of testing, because you account for confounds that may only appear in a single highly-controlled lab setup, and won't reflect the results that people are expected to see when they use their phone in a typical way.
Yep. Totally get that.
