That is amazing. My work machine is on Big Sur and the minor glitches are pretty constant. Having bluetooth connected can cause weird issues, the dock and top bar frequently forget where they are supposed to be, and quite a few other similarly minor issues.
Oddly I have a simplistic view that this is how the Feudal system began. Meaning the populous realized their current government wasn't protecting their property and safety, so they got together and hired some people to do that for them. Over time those men took power for themselves. This theme is played out time and time again in history, if a government can't protect the property of its people it will eventually be replaced. Sadly this may take many decades to occur but the trend is there historically.

It's a nightmare. A broker in HK recently quoted me $71/ea for an industrial temp rated 10/100 Ethernet PHY (KSZ8081MNXIA) ... That is a roughly 50x markup. We're making a design change instead. I am now buying qty 500-1000 of any new part that is getting designed in, before the design is even started.

Our Analog Devices sales rep told me to expect another 12-18 months of everything being completely fucked. That was based on a conversation he recently had with TSMC. It's going to be super fun.

I think the point being made is that if instead at looking at the wording of the rules, they look only at employee pay and employee premiums, it could be that fewer of the lower paid employees got vaccinations, and thus paid more on average. That might make them culpable even if the rule wasn't inherently biased. They have made a lot of rules like this recently, such that an uneven outcome puts you in breach of the law regardless of the fairness of the policies.
FYI, I vouched for tofu's dead reply to my question on whether he'd be inclined to trust anti-communists. I might not agree with his stance on this subject but I think he should be able to answer the question - which he did. From reading his comment history I get the idea that we agree on many points related to technology but disagree on many political subjects. I'd much rather have an honest discussion on all subjects out in the open, without labelling or epithet throwing than to suppress parts of that discussion while allowing other parts of it to thrive. The former might lead to some useless political discussions but those can simply be ignored - just collapse the thread [1]. The latter inevitably leads to some politics getting through while other politics is killed.

[1] this could even be an option in personal settings, something like 'Show dead [ ]', 'Show politics [ ]'). It would also make the job of policing the forum easier since anything political can simply be flagged as such by moderators or users, just like users can flag posts and replies.
We are not a marketplace.
We buy goods, stock them, and then deliver. So we are the ones delivering the goods, and we don’t charge for it .

We are using a transport management system to optimize our daily delivery routing. Shops are really close to each others , so it makes financial sense to daily deliver the same shops. There is no minimum order , however some elementary SKUs can’t be bought only by themselves .

We get our supplies from both the Principals and some exclusive distributors.

We start first by sending salesrep on the ground to train the users on how to use the app. Usually the first orders are made through our customer care team. It can take up to 3 months for a client to become autonomous and use the app by himself.
Indeed, and vacancy numbers are to be expected. Go to any source for rental investments and you'll typically see vacancy rate assumptions of 4% to 8%, because tenants leave and placing a new tenant can take some time. If you plot that on a city home to 10 million people, it's entirely natural to find that a few hundred thousand homes are vacant at any point in time, typically only a few weeks or months. The 'long-term vacant' problem is relatively minor by comparison, and while that must certainly be addressed, it's not at all going to change the order of magnitude of the current housing issue.

Wouldn’t a driving sim be the exact opposite of that?

> If you expand a road, there will be greater usage because demand soaks up supply.

Only up to a limit, as I mentioned. They won’t keep “soaking up” supply. People are not looking to drive 24/7. They are looking to reach destinations and spend time there.

> Of course, you can continue to expand roads. Problem with that idea is that the roads displace other uses of land such as homes and businesses.

This seems like a vague argument. Road space displaces other uses marginally. If your population were held equal, then you can build more roads, displace some amount of other uses, and the increased traffic from those displaced wouldn’t be nearly as much as the extra traffic capacity the road provides. If your population increases or usage patterns change, then it is simply “latent” demand that is being met, since there’s an appetite for more travel throughout and increased speeds and all the utility that brings. All of this applies to anything that we can model with supply and demand, including bike lanes.

Yeah. And for big power banks, there are several options beyond Li-ion. There are sodium, iron and magnesium chemistries for one.

Compressed air storage is another option, that is quite cheap and scales extremely well. The one being built by Hydrostor now in California is 4GWh, for example [0].

I pay for YouTube premium but still see them. That’s not OK, especially when the creators make 10x more money off YouTube Premium users than from ad-based users.

YouTube needs to make a way for creators to label the sponsor sections and it skips it for Premium users.

As for why downloading, I download any/every video I find useful so I don’t have to go back to YouTube to watch it later. Everything from blender tutorials to car build videos that taught me something to music video clips and generally just anything interesting. It all goes to my NAS and I can instantly pull it up for reference and scrub quicker and don’t have to deal with YouTube’s increasingly annoying website.

Am I missing something?
Sometimes I use macOS for work and get reminded why I prefer Linux.

- homebrew is slow and brittle, between 10x and 100x slower than pacman in my experience, and the only package manager I've used that breaks at least every year

- homebrew is only a userspace package mananger, many applications have their own update mechanisms. I greatly prefer being able to update my entire system with one command.

- xcode is a fragile 10GiB pig that I don't want, but homebrew needs it

- docker has a significant performance overhead on macOS

- the tiling window managers available on macOS are less reliable and don't have the features I value

- some terminal based software is significantly slower on recent versions of macOS, even on a 2019 macbook. I'm not sure what's causing it but there is noticeable lag that I don't get on much older hardware with linux

- documentation; in my experience searching for error messages on macOS results in something like "paste this command into a terminal, no one knows why, and it will break again on the next OS release" or "plug the charger into the left usbc port not the right". Where as on linux I end up on the arch wiki with a fix that makes sense, and I've learned something I find valuable or interesting

- I don't like how macOS is visually turning into iOS, I like that I have the option to use what looks like a "desktop" on linux

I'm learning nix at the moment, and hopefully that can solve a lot of the problems I have with maxOS/brew.

macOS is good, linux is good, as always it depends on what you need.
India!

Set up a base in a Tier II City in North India.

Accomodation around INR 10-15K

1GbPS Broadband: INR- 4000 (+ taxes)- This is now GST so you'd consolidated bill.

Excellent 4G services- INR 300 with 1.5-2 GB of data per month. You can also opt for PostPaid.

Living expenses around 15-20K (including trips for groceries+ Uber/Ola- tide hailing).
24 hours electricity- around INR 708 per unit. If you run AirCon for the whole day, youd not exceed around INRO 10k.

I am assuming you have yourself covered for Netflix etc.

The cities are not exactly bicycle friendly- I ride a cycle to work- but you can negotiate your way around.

Because most other tech companies (except for a few of the very biggest ones) won't touch that business with a 10 foot pole. It used to be major reputational damage to be seen supporting things that kill people, etc...

The non tech companies can't compete. So the complete lack of competition means fat profits for not very good tech and services.

I pay $10/mo for YouTube Premium, and my expectation is that I will not have to sit through any ads. A sponsorship is an ad, which violates that expectation, so I use SponsorBlock to skip them.

For channels that I watch regularly, I contribute to their Patreon if they have one. I shouldn't have to sit through a sponsorship segment in addition to that.
It's a chicken and egg problem. Nobody pays for free software, so noone who makes software does the boring things. It sucks up your time because the boring things they don't want to do is that 10% that would make it easier.

Ofcourse there are exceptions, and I am surprised there aren't more companies that go with the ardour model. They give away the source but charge for binaries.

I would even like it if they charge for everything but have it be open source, so you can't download an "official copy" unless you pay.
Yep. This was it for me. I’m getting a MacBook just so I can run Word and Outlook.
But the legal system probably wouldn’t treat these types of thugs as nicely as garden-variety squatters, no? Otherwise such gangs would have already taken over France.

I think in order to avoid open conflict from law enforcement, these types will try to avoid residing at the scene of the crime. Instead, they will rely on referrals for repeat business, while keeping things on the down low.
For me it was a constant battle with Chromium. On 16GB of RAM it simply wasn't enough. Every other day I was hitting the OOM killer or system freezes.

I was so angry I went and upgraded to 64GB of RAM and now it's stable. I found out that I don't use any more tabs than I have in the past, with gobs of RAM available. So I believe it's just the web getting more bloated over time along with Chrome getting more bloated. One day I suspect I'll be running the same number of tabs and 64GB won't even save me.
I feel more and more like Microsoft/Apple/GNU need to do what Apple/Mozilla/Google/Microsoft did when they turned their backs on the w3c and formed WHATWG.

> One of them (Intel) didn't make chips for anyone but themselves until about 4 months ago.

actually iirc they've tried to get into the custom foundry business a couple times now (see: "Intel Custom Foundry" that got discontinued a couple years ago) but they never really attracted any major customers.

https://semiwiki.com/semiconductor-manufacturers/intel/7912-...

Part of this was due to the fact that Intel's design rules (the "rules" that govern chip design: how small wires and transistor features can be and so on) are completely different from every other foundry, so while porting from TSMC to Samsung or something like that certainly isn't easy, it's at least straightforward, whereas Intel's stack is basically totally different from everyone else's. One of the advantages Intel has is that the chip design and the process are tightly intertwined, if there is a problem with the chip design the designers can go down the hall and talk to the process people and see if they can come up with a solution at the process level. This obviously also became their downfall when 10nm slipped, and likely also it severely reduced their ability to sell their foundry services to other customers.

According to that article they were apparently also rather secretive about their process (seeing it as part of their "special sauce" I guess) and I've heard many customers doubted Intel's commitment to the program as well as their neutrality. And I think the final piece of the puzzle was probably price - I'm guessing Intel was asking a royal sum compared to GF or Samsung or TSMC. After all... they're intel, and their process is the best!

> One of the funniest stories I heard was about the first copy of the Intel 14nm design rules Atera got from Intel. They were heavily redacted, which is something I had never seen in the foundry business. After many delays Intel put their own implementation team on the first 14nm Altera tapeout and the result was a very competitive FPGA chip. If not for the continued delays, Xilinx would have been in serious trouble as the Intel 14nm FPGA, based on my experience with customers, beats the Xilinx 16nm in both density and performance.

They are now trying to get back into the custom foundry business of course. Different management, and a very different business situation for Intel - if they can get other customers to help finance their node development that's a big win for them at this point.
not per se.

but if you are like me and watch a lot of curated playlists, you end up watching the same sponsor segments over and over.

Sadly, it still is. I have a System76 Oryx running the manufacturers distro and I still have issues with hybrid graphics, Wifi breaking randomly, Bluetooth devices not connecting, and the the fans spinning up like crazy and the UI freezing for seconds at a time.

This is an interesting take. I personally find Joe Rogan to be an abhorrent human being that gives a platform to pseudoscientists and white supremacists, but I’ve never heard “his tens of millions of dollars are negated by the fact that he smokes weed” as a criticism.

Out of curiosity, what value does Tim Ferris provide to society? I’m not being sarcastic, I just only know him as the guy that wrote the four hour work week book, which I did not find substantive.

Sure, the Spanish teachers do. The Americans? I still doubt it.
Yes - but you are never really cycling all the way. Draining them down completely and filling them all the way up. Rather they are often smoothing out power supply.

What's not 100% clear to me, after reading through some descriptions, is which metal cubes I could handle semi-regularly without damaging them (iron? will it rust?) or endangering myself (lead? how likely is handling it to poison me?).

It seems to me that the point of buying a cube of some metal is to feel its weight and texture, to see it respond to light. If you're just going to keep it in a capsule and never take it out, you could just have a photo or video of the metal.

What elements can you hold in your hand without either you or the element taking damage?

This was me for 10+ years from leaving home through uni to early career. I lived 2km outside of the Brisbane CBD in a really nice neighbourhood on less than 1000AUD a month. It was enough money that I could eat well, afford beer and go out on the town every now an again.

The cost of share housing hasn't gone up by a huge amount either. I am currently renting out the down stairs of my house (its dual living) for $150 a week per room (2 rooms). Each room gets a 2nd study room as well. Again this is in a nice neighbourhood about 2.5km from the CBD.
I tried but couldn't get modules working, personally. The various sites online I found differed in how they work in the first place.

Not the main point, but there is also a question of how accurate that 40% number for Greece is.

From a western European perspective, tax fraud is rampant in Greece. e.g. In Athens, around 400 swimming pools were reported for tax purposes. But satellite analysis shows almost 17,000 houses have swimming pools: https://boingboing.net/2010/05/04/satellite-photos-cat.html
It’s probably a safer strategy for a full-time landlord than someone who wants to kick squatters out then move in themselves.
With the increasing convergence of macOS and iOS, we're surely on the way. Already it's true that the app mindset has encouraged a lot of the wonderful free software I loved on the Mac to become paid.

(Which, (1) of course is the creator's right, but I still miss the old mindset, and (2) "why not just keep using the old software?" doesn't work because Apple's commitment to backward compatibility is, umm, not high.)

I have been attending Grateful Dead, Phish, Rainbow and other festivals for 35 years. I have known a lot of road dawgs. Many damaged from military service use there monthly retirement or disability to live a nomadic life. I have spent summers when I wasn't teaching traveling from festival to festival. Another summer in the woods of Oregon living in a teepee, no electricity, running water, cell service, etc.. I always had the income and backup options so it wasn't as difficult as those who have no choice, I could always go home. I have found some of the most interesting, intelligent and genuinely good people in these circles, also the most dangerous and mentally ill. I have Lupus and can't live any of that life anymore. I am so glad I did though, the experience made me a better less judgmental person. If I could tell young people one thing, before you settle down, have kids, buy a house, spend at least 3 months living on/with the fringe of society. Be careful, it's not a safe life, especially being a woman but common sense and good judgement kept me safe. I look at these folks as people who fit the quote “It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.”
