$10k was a made up number to show that it would add considerable expense to bring every element in the supply chain up to par with the living standards in developed countries. For example, do the South Korea phones still use materials that originate from mines in the Congo?

I assume if Samsung had figured out how to make phones with better labor practices than Apple, then they would be advertising it. Seems like pretty easy PR points to win business, so I would have to wonder why not? I am guessing it is either inconsistent across their product lines or labor practices are increasing over the years.
When did this weird past tense become so common in journalism? In ordinary, literate English one would say: A Hasidic rabbi has created a Shabbat jacket for carrying guns in synagogues. It is a past action with continuing effect; presumably the jacket still exists.
The music industry doesn't have the right idea (from their POV). They let Apple become dominant (same as publishers let Amazon). The movie and tv industry (which overlaps with music) wasn't going to let Netflix (or Apple, or Amazon) do the same, so we consumers get fragmentation that preserves their profits, and they get to demonize piracy.

Is it possible to build a circuit that keeps the same voltage while letting the current drop?
Well, I personally think that the banks profit margins are way too high but let me explain why they deserve to charge a profit in the first place.

We can make promises to each other. Essentially write debt contracts to each other at no fee. The problem is that we trust each other but if we want a more complex economy than a barter system allows, then we need to make it possible for a third party to trust the debt contract. Through the introduction of banks as middlemen they use their resources to check how trustworthy the debt contract you offer to the bank is. In exchange you get money, which is a liquid claim on your debt contract and thousands or even millions of other debt contracts. Thus the bank is primarily in the business of managing risk and the management of risk demands a net interest margin. If the bank didn't make money off of loans then any bad loan would lose the bank money and it would go bankrupt over the long term. In other words, the surplus profit that the bank made off your loan is its reward for correctly managing risk.

>This is why housing is so expensive to begin with.

Or it could be that housing is in high demand and banks offer financing so people have more money but since location is a monopoly, supply never catches up with demand in popular areas. Speculators themselves simply predict that there is sufficient demand for you to be willing to bay $400k for a house. Speculators didn't create that profit margin, it is the monopoly of land that created it and they merely exploit it.

There is an even simpler answer to your question than the ones other, very good, comments are pointing out. All of the scientists who unquestioningly believed that dogs could tell the difference didn't do this study. All of the scientists who unquestioningly believed dogs couldn't, didn't do this study. All studies are done by whichever members of the scientist population don't believe the affirmative or the negative.
You don't even have to "pull those out and index them using generated columns" to index with postgres jsonb, although it's a bit more confusing to figure out the proper index and make sure your queries hit it, jsonb data is indexable on it's own.
For speculative storage like that my preference is for files, ideally on something like S3. It's harder to analyze but IME the need is infrequent. Storage is usually significantly cheaper than a DB.

It could, I think many companies do choose the right thing over the profitable thing, at least sometimes. Obviously not all companies, and not everytime. If that caused sufficient lost profits, shareholders might band together to try and change the leadership of the company. I can't cite a specific instance of this happening, I think it's rare. I would be surprised if it hasn't happened though
I feel like you are talking about types in programming languages but Object–relational impedance mismatch is still a thing and I'm not sure if you want a solution (for the mismatch) at DB level.
Well, if we want to use correctish terminology then banks grant credit (the number on your bank account) when debtors offer a promise to pay (the debt contract).

This study isn't treating dogs as if they were not conscious or intelligent.

It's isolating a particular aspect of intelligence to determine if it exists in a particular fashion. In this case, the question of if and how dogs are aware of human agency. This is a very interesting question.

The exact same falsifying process is used with studies about humans. Using these processes we've significantly changed our understanding of human cognition in the last century so it seems like it's working!

No one's suggesting that dogs or people aren't intelligent. The question is exactly how this intelligence functions, because there are many ways to reach a particular conclusion.

>I should also note that C23 will also have Binary Integer Literals, so the same number can be written out in a more precise grouping of binary as well:

const unsigned magical_number = 0b0110'0001'0110'0011'0110'0001'0110'0010;

Finally. It’s mystifying to me why this took so long to add; not everyone is fluent in translating hex digits to binary nybbles on the fly. This will greatly help with clearly defining and manipulating bitfields. The fact that digit separators can be placed arbitrarily will further help delimit fields of variable width, e.g.

# A B C D
uint8_t flags = 0b00’1’0’11’01;

A and B are binary fields; C and D are quaternary fields. The first two bits are padding. This is a lot more readable than

uint8_t flags = 0x2D;
Yes. The IDs are unique, fixed, and easy to pick up. You have to broadcast a low-frequency signal first to enable them and they'll emit a signal. There are several projects on GitHub to pick them up, and I've successfully done it.

This, I suppose, is implicit in the word "boring". I think the premise is: People could follow boring advice to become successful but they don't, precisely because it's boring.

Regardless the definition of success, we tend to consider it as being in the top <50%. So even if everyone was more succesful (regardless the metric) in today's standard, only the best ones would be said "successful".
Some questions about ZeroTier, particularly in comparison with Tailscale.

Does ZeroTier require a central coordination server for authentication and to distribute public keys?

That was a problem with Tailscale that prevented me from using it. The provider apparently could inject public keys into anyone’s network. I don’t know if the situation is any different in ZeroTier.

I see there are “moons” and you can install your own moon. How much is the effort for self hosted version?

Another question: How does ZeroTier bypass NAT if the connections are peer to peer? Is it similar to Tailscale (UPnP and STUN, followed by relaying)?
My thoughts exactly to be honest. It's a mid-range phone which, from what I take, won't be crammed up with bloatware. I got a Nokia 5.something(forgot what it was) for my mom some time ago with pretty much identical specs and it was in the $200-ish range. It was like a year ago but I recon it's still in the 130-40$. I was really pleasantly surprised with how well it behaved. The bigger screen aside, in terms of experience it was pretty much identical to my old pixel 2, having used it for ~2 years at the time. It'd be awesome if that phone can deliver something similar for a third of the price.

I am confused as to what exactly the novelty of a $50 smartphone is at this point.

Just another data point I suppose, to support the drumbeat that smartphones are very cheap now, and are the ubiquitous default computing device for most people by now.

You can't even keep your kids off smartphones. Their friends will just give them last year's model they were gonna toss in the trash and they'll use it on wifi. Teachers don't even try to keep the kids off the phones in class. When I subbed in a classroom last spring, I once had a kid come up to me to ask me something, and then bury herself in phone distraction before I could even answer, and then act annoyed and surprised that I interrupted her to answer the question she herself had gone out of her way to pose. I was baffled. This was an extreme case but not by that much.

The kids are downright addicted, for the benefit of big internet shareholders, as big tobacco once did.

When I was that age I was often very bored. This inspired me to find ways to use my brain, to read, write, draw.

That we is gone now. Private boredom has been co-opted and is now owned by big internet for their benefit.

We had TV to plague us in the same way then of course. But at least TV was less engaging and less omnipresent. As soon as you left the home your mind was free.

There are the sidewalk philosophers who say that "things always change, every generation complains of kids these days" but this is a facile and ignorant retort. For 10,000 years technological change has happened yes, but at a much slower rate. What changes today in half a generation, took several generations for most of human history. Parents had a fighting chance to hand down knowledge of how to navigate the world, and to figure out over several generations how best to adapt oneself to new technologies.

> I have known about clothing made with child labor since I was in grade school, and I am in my mid 30s, and clothes still come from Bangladesh

There are many companies that produce and sell american made apparel. [0] I buy from several of them (on the the rare occasions when I buy more clothes.)

> Where is the patronizing of local businesses that use local labor to make goods?

Perhaps if you spent less time making assumptions about where other people buy their clothes and more time looking for local options you would actually be helping.

The end goal should not be the end of international trade but an insistance that we do not allow international trade to facilitate abuses. The core problem is that people like you and Tim Cook brush off legitimate concerns about the practices of international trade partners as "just the way things are".

Edit: I would hope that Ricky Gervais, when confronted with a question about the source of this clothing, would respond thoughfully and even consider changing where he buys his clothes. Ethical business practices may be a niche market today, but the way we expand that market share isn't by just accepting the way things are.

One thing that can happen when you are doing computer modeling to find the input parameters that explain your observations is getting stuck in a local maximum. I am absolutely ready to believe that eliminating dark energy from current models makes their results look less like the real universe, but the number of re-runs that would be required to sample the entire parameter space and demonstrate that there were no other parameterizations that looked like our universe would be enormous, and if you include the possibility of new theories, infinite.

There would either have to be some kind of theoretical reason to think that the best known parameterization of a simulated lambda-CDM universe is not merely a local maximum, or the parameters would have to be well-constrained, by observations, so that the free parameter space was small enough to exhaustively explore. I am not aware of either condition being true so I will express some skepticism about the conclusions from the models. Nonetheless, my lack of knowledge about those conditions is not very strong evidence for their absence, and I know there could be someone reading this and feeling very annoyed that I don't know about the Backhausen-Thule principle, or whatever piece completes this puzzle. (Your contribution to the discussion, oh annoyed reader, would be greatly appreciated.)
If he defaults. From his point a view he is not risking too much; he never put his own money as down payment it was 100÷ mortgage which NL is too generous with. Then the rent he earns is higher than the mortgage due to the low interest. So best case he ends up with 3 houses in 25 years. Worst case he gets some angry letters from the bank and loses houses that arent really his.

> Two years ago, I told you about a paper by Subir Sarkar and his colleagues, that showed if one analyses the supernovae data correctly, without assuming that the cosmological principle holds on too short distances, then the evidence for dark energy disappears. That paper has been almost entirely ignored by other scientists.

I suppose she's referring to the things discussed in her interview with Sarkar here -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1mwYxkhMe8 .

I can't claim I understand the details of what Sarkar is talking about since I dabbled in cosmology only very briefly but I at least made sure to forward the interview to my former advisor (whose name is on several hundreds of papers on cosmology and astrophysics, including those of the PLANCK collaboration and several others) and his response was along the lines of:

> I appreciate Subir Sarkar very much but I'm afraid I don't agree with barely any of his statements. He never looks at the full picture but only individual pieces and then he ends up modifying those until look prettier individually but no longer fit the rest of the cosmological model.
Which numbers are you referring to? "3 billion" instead of "3,000,000,000"? That could just be efficiency of typing (not to mention, German uses , and . inversely from English: Pi is 3,1415... in German writing, while a thousand is 1.000).

>>Charging 0% interest means the bank is losing money.

> I don't get how people can keep saying this. Is it that people are told banks lend out money from depositors in school?

They don't? Where is the money from? Due to complicated reasons (ie. bundling mortgages into mortgage backed securities and selling them), it might not be the case that the mortgage issued by Bank A is funded by Bank A's depositors, but it is the case that it's funded by depositors/investors somewhere.
Yeah, I'm unsure of most of the writers so want to be careful not to offend anyone, but the guy who wrote that, and also that G would be ahead of them soon and just needed Java people, AND that he didn't think much of their system and talent...did not seem in tune with reality.

Just causing a shortage isn't a bullwhip though

That depends. Either way, what I'm describing are my own observations in Factorio are those instances where shortages actually do end up causing bullwhips.

And shortages are not always easy to correct: A "mere bottleneck" is what we have in the chip shortage. Production capacity is the bottleneck, and correcting it is complicated.

That is what I also observed in Factorio: A small increase in demand that exceeds supply creates a bottleneck because production can't keep up. It propagates throughout the system causing other shortages where the components 4 or 5 layers down the chain need the scarce material. And also causes surpluses on multiple levels because components can't be used to make the components that also need the scarce material.

Fixing the shortage isn't always easy. If you need a lot of a specific material to build the production capacity to fill the shortage, that may reveal yet another bottleneck in producing another material, and so on.

IRL, it's possible something like this could occur with the increased uptick in fab production. ASML might be a bottleneck in providing drastically more equipment for more fabs. Or someone up the supply chain that feeds them resources could be bottlenecked. I guess we'll see how it plays out though.
Meh. I agree that it's probably doing enough good for the world that Google's ulterior motives are worth ignoring, for the time being. But this level of cynicism and skepticism is absolutely warranted.

I think she is a really credible voice, given her background in theoretical physics and her matter-of-fact demeanor, plus her tendency to express all the necessary caveats. As such, when you see a dissenting belief from her, you are more likely to have people actually believe there is something there and not just BS. I think this is a major factor - basically, dissenting opinions discussed by Sabine Hossenfelder carry more weight than others.
