The first Tesla is a car for rich people only. The reason for Tesla's 700b valuation is the innovation that Tesla has made in producing the model y and model 3 and the current goal of producing the first $25k mass produced electric car.
I’d argue that Apple’s incentives are mostly aligned for privacy on Safari, but the incentives for it to spend its resources on Safari in general are not aligned. Apple has long had a native-app only outlook which has hampered its work on browsers for a long time.

You're correct; the debate is pretty arcane and the purpose of this particular post is mostly for Noah to lob bombs at other wonk bloggers he interacts with on Twitter frequently. This is a pathology of his writing on Substack, and actually of the entire Substack ecosystem more broadly. Most of the content produced in this ecosystem is basically "takes" on "stuff I heard online". See also Freddie de Boer and others. Extreme forest for trees problem. It's not just that it feels tribalistic and inaccessible to a lay audience, it's that it feels tribalistic and inaccessible to even a particularly educated and engaged audience who nevertheless don't spend all their time in this particular online bubble.

I say this acknowledging that the actual criticisms here are reasonable and I don't have any particular disdain for the post or the discussion, just that I am totally unsurprised that you picked up on it being oddly insular.
Is biology still a wet lab science?
I was under the impression the Model 3 uses permanent magnet DC motors, with the increased efficiency accounting for some of the range gains.
In my experience this was not an issue. I would plug it in for 10 minutes while I took a break, and it would have enough to last me the rest of the day.
This seems weird. I've had braun and wahls, and each lasts months on one charge, I use(d) them weekly for bread trims.

Sounds like your specific one has a defective battery. Or design.
I live(d) only in countries that enforce it and it definitely makes a huge difference in consumer prices. Places that are ran 'by the family' here have their family do all the work for free (usually their kids and the parents running it all); in exchange they get pocket money, a roof over their head and food. But they are very cheap employees. Now compare the food and drink prices to a place with official employees and matching wages. Even at minimum wage (which is the norm here for restaurants and hotels), the difference in consumer price is massive. It is between having a lunch for E5 or E25+.
I'll just go with "Yes" because we use the same Confluence installation our entire organisation. Spaces might be configured differently, but we can have all our documentation in one system and link across space.

Never used it, but a quick perusal of its Wikipedia article mentions that it was a rewrite of something else using ANTLR, which implies a separate syntax.
World with basic income might create a class of people, who will demand to increase it (because why not, people who are not working and will be given some money for this will have a lot of time to organize themselves in some kind of strange union), if this group will be large enough it will soon find a political party that will absorb such group.

However to give away money, you need to get them from somewhere, basic income means that work will be taxed more heavily. At some point this will break economy and, in less optimistic scenario, lead to social unrest or takeover of the power by some ultra populist party - we have already seen in the history how helping the poor, discriminated "class" typically ends.
That's now what was written:

Melatonin should never be taken... is different from recommending not to self medicate.

The previous comment can also be read as "disregard medical advice if tells you to take melatonin"
The problem with his argument is not that the economy can't grow using less resources, that I agree with, it's that he equates a fixed supply of resources on the one side with a steady or falling (but non-zero) rate of consumption on the other side. However there are some resources that don't just replenish themselves and once they're gone, they're gone. So rate of consumption would have to trend to zero to be sustainable, not just stay flat.

How Are Asp.net Development Services Profitable for a Business Application?
er... okay... can't this be said for... literally any abstraction in C? a function which does not return a value which has no return statement has a ... invisible jump. A for loop, while loop, if statement... all have "invisible" jumps... Would you rather C had a conditional statement which could only take a single instruction or a goto? Why not just have an assembly language? Having a defer statement which queues up blocks of code for execution at the end of a scope seems far far cleaner than the extremely error-prone goto cleanup style (or any non-goto alternative for it). Yes the jumps are implicit but it's not exactly that difficult to figure out what gets jumped to and when... at least unless you have really excessively long functions in which case everything becomes hard to track (including those "invisible jumps" in for loops, while loops and if statements).
Atlassian was so kind to update their mailing lists somewhere over the last year or so. Previously, they would email the 'technical contact' of the license about any vulnerabilities. They quietly switched to some other notification system and never informed us about it. Hence we missed the update and got a free Bitcoin miner. Thanks Atlassian, I'll make sure to get your products out of the door as soon as possible.

[edit] Oh it's even better. Their site says 'Note: if you are a tech administrator, you will always receive these notifications.' but they never mailed us. Great job, Atlassian, great job.
Most people spend that time doing a job they hate so they can afford someone else for services to meet basic needs.

Aligning production/consumption priorities with the need for human long-term survival? You are describing degrowth.

The article makes various strawen, starting with "the idea that economic growth requires growth in resource use" and "Degrowthers have no idea how to combine various resources"
I think the CO2 graphs are trade-adjusted but those resource usage graphs come from USGS so I doubt it takes imports into account (especially given imports would include processed goods, manufactured parts etc. where estimating the resource use would be tricky)
> Also, at some point certain things are just 'good enough', and marginal improvements require a ton of effort but don't make life better. For example, mobile phones - an 8 year old phone would work just fine, if not for forced obsoletion. Yet tons of effort go into very marginal improvements, because if you don't do it, your competitors will.

If this were true, your innovating competitors will lose money. There’s a discussion to be had on bad innovations (such as almost everything related to the so-called “attention economy), but they are a drop in the ocean.
Not sure fully integrated and cheap/disposable go hand in hand. Depends on what type of integration you have.

I have my laptop configured in powersafe profile (battery improvement and lack of annoying fans is a plus) and I get noticeable delays when working within my IDE on certain workflows.

Nevertheless I'm more and more enamored with the idea of owning cheap Pinebook Pro notebooks and renting a cheap server to run my IDE over VNC.

I can't focus on work while on public transport so that setup might work just fine for me in the future. Spend that time instead reading a book, win-win
When starting out with Arch Linux 5 years ago, choosing a desktop environment and/or window manager was one of the key decisions. i3's excellent documentation and principles[0] really sold it for me.

The base config is full of sensible defaults and the learning curve for shortcuts was relatively short for me. I use it alone as my WM with picom as compositor (which is unnecessary) and no DE. I've never looked back and whilst there are some alternatives in win/OSX, I miss it so much when I have to use a Mac or boot into Windows... having to constantly move, resize and fiddle with app windows is such a pain I'm glad I don't have to worry about with i3.

Bonus tip: I recently switched from i3status to i3status-rs[1] which provides an excellent status bar for i3 (developed with Rust, which I hear is apparently a major selling point for many). I'd strongly recommend this.

Linux is my daily desktop+laptop driver for work and personal life, and i3 is the main reason for this. To me, DEs are full of bloat. I would stress, though, that it's not for everyone at all.

I'm pointing out that your examples just aren't based in reality, and aren't describing things that are "savvy" and "un-savvy".

These also aren't massive advantages: The folks with tax checks are generally folks with children, and they aren't generally getting an advantage others in a similar situation aren't getting: Pretty much everyone knows about tax refunds. Childless folks don't get much, though, so it isn't really a massive advantage. None of it is. Even when "All other things equal".

Unfortunately, what actually IS often a massive advantage is luck of circumstance. Somewhere to stay so you can get back on your feet, for example, or lucky enough to qualify for help paying for your medicine or your child's private school tuition. Lucky enough to be poor in an area you can walk to stores and work or lucky enough to live somewhere with a robust safety net. Lucky enough to be healthy, lucky enough to avoid getting pregnant, lucky enough to be able to buy birth control.
> Fundamentally exponential growth is not sustainable in the long run.

Besides being a fundamentally politically charged statement, I see no good argument on why not, so I'm sure you're ready to present some evidence behind that.

Where you're completely right is that fundamental exponential resource usage is not sustainable.

But in fact, OP makes a pretty convincing argument that resource usage is starting to decouple from GDP growth (in fact, exponentially so).

Adding the exponentially growing level of automation and still-dropping cost-effective renewables into the mix (as well as their synergetic effect on each other), it's a rationally following thought that energy will be almost-free in the near future.

With an exponential growth of external (solar) energy into the system, it's not far off to channel this energy into GDP to sustain the growth.

Just one example: Water problem. There's a drinking water shortage everywhere but if you look at the globe from orbit, you see the planet does not have a water shortage.

In fact, it's just an energy shortage of desalinating that water. Bring that almost-free water to the deserts around the equator and you're in fact creating resources.

I think the idea of degrowth is a fundamental error. It's only when the ecological finally gets economical when you convince the naysayers as well.
There is this S-curve of the amount of newly starting S-curves where we are going to see a slowdown...
Rest Commandments
The problem with RAII is that unlike defer it requires you to have an exception mechanism. RAII and Exceptions are completely interdependant and you can't use one without the other (you're basically guaranteed leaks if you use exceptions without RAII and to implement RAII you need exceptions).

It's valuable but let's not confuse it with defer which allows a great deal of safety without requiring exceptions.

That's one of the selling point of Saas compared to hosted instance honestly. Some company think that having Confluence hosted internally is going to increase the security. But this is wrong. When you rely on a Saas provider. The provider has people who monitor the infrastructure constantly whereas when you hosted on your own server, the confluence instance is just one of the many services that they manage. And even if some company will be very reactive to events like this. The majority of companies will be much slower.

And in addition to that. When you use Saas. Security is a top priority, a Saas provider can't allow to have data of its customers leaked on the web. Whereas once again when it is internal data people will be less cautious
common reasons could be :-

- Cost, VPNs and the hardware to run them can be expensive

- Single point of failure. If you run all your remote access through a VPN gateway then you run the risk of disruption if it goes down. Of course you can implement redundnt/multiple gateways but that increases cost.

- Complexity for B2B setups. If you're exposing an API and you want third party services to access it, it can be more complex if there's a VPN involved.

All that said, I still wouldn't run something like this (or indeed most services) directly on the Internet as it's a single vuln. away from problems, however I've seen plenty of services directly visible on the Internet for these reasons. You can spelunk around one of the search engines like Shodan or Censys to get an idea of how many people run application services directly on the Internet.
The question is different to what the article is implying. The broad social question is that of the nature of ownership.

What does it mean for shareholders to 'own' a company? It doesn't mean literally anything, because the company is subordinate to the law. So the question is what owners can do within that framework.

The core of the capitalist argument is it doesn't matter what Lynn A. Stout, I or a company's board thinks the shareholders want. The shareholders just need the tools to replace the board when they wish, and the rest will sort itself out.

Urgent != take a 10 minute break.

While I admit that it seems rare/odd, I can imagine trying to look up an address, catch a bus, and my mouse dies.

10 seconds becomes minutes, and bus missed.

I think the point here is, it could have been designed like thousands of other mice on the market, was not, and Apple is supposed to be about usability.

Hand waving "but you could do this", doesn't change the fact that you're having to do this, instead of using your mouse.

Perhaps this is what Think Different means? You're using it wrong?
It's not exclusive to the Amiga - the same applies to the Acorn / RISC OS community too (to an extent).

Who really pays that kind of money for a retro 'toy'?

> Imagine a world…where someone who just likes to cut hair decides to cut hair for other people as long as they get to be creative while doing it.

It sounds wonderful. Here’s the problem. Most people don’t want a creative hair cut. Most people want the same boring haircut everybody else has. And they need it now, not when you’re feeling “inspired” or “creative.”

A world where nobody is incentivized to provide value to others aside from “creative satisfaction,” is a world where nobody provides value to others.

Whether or not you agree with all the things people buy, the fact is, most people buy most things because they find them useful (the top GDP-contributing activities are rooted in things like food, water, housing, transportation, clothing, etc.)

Ending consumerism, means the end of people doing useful things for each other.

This includes all the peaceful global cooperation between countries that is a byproduct of a consumer driven global economy.

I don’t think changing the mindset of countries with nuclear weapons from optimistic growth to pessimistic scarcity is going to have the positive outcomes you think it will.

Unfortunately, when humans fight over scarce things, they tend to kill each other.

> Need to run on-prem, it's mostly the wiki-like features I'm interested in.

Since you are looking mostly for the wiki part there is Dokuwiki which is magnitudes better at being a wiki. Remember, wiki is derived from the Hawaiian word for quick or something to that effect and whatever Confluence is it isn't quick.

Don't know how well it will hold up under scrutiny if black hats gets a reason to swarm over it, but unlike Confluence you can hire someone to patch the guts of it if necessary.

Edit: I have no reason to believe it is worse than anything else, I'm just pointing out it probably hasn't had so much exposure to help it harden.
We know that infinite growth is not possible on a finite planet. I also don't think we will be doing asteroid mining etc. on any scale or timeframe relevant to the current climate crisis.

Therefore we know there is some limit - and we are just arguing about where that limit is.

The Global Footprint Network with their "Overshoot Day" believe we are already beyond that sustainable limit and, to be honest, with increasing populations that (quite rightly) demand Western living standards, I doubt we will ever be sustainable.
Frustratingly, presumably because they are thinking about that possible accessory, they also designed the USB-C port in what has to be a completely noncompliant way so as to keep any keyboards (or most anything else potentially useful) from working, apparently at a hardware level. Attaching one requires making a connector for the non-standard USB connector on the side.

There's something oddly hostile about e-ink device companies.
Then what do you do with the salt when you have exponentially desalinated amounts of water? Managing it is already a problem with our limited amounts of desalination.

Growth has consequences. People who optimize for economic gain are paid in part to conceal negative consequences to keep their short term gains from being inhibited.

If you can attain exponential growth without consequence, you’ve found a way to simply create matter or violate some law of physics, and honestly, that’s a bigger scientific achievement than economic.

Degrowth arguments is not lowering your consumption is enjoyable or popular; some might have written effusively about rediscovering vegan cuisine but I’d blame cookbooks usual enthusiasm for that one. Greta Thunberg was quite candid about how sailing the Atlantic was painful.

Degrowth argues that technological innovation won’t be enough to save biodiversity and decarbonise in time.

If you want to prove them wrong, don’t call them smelly hippies on a “grandiose world-saving moral quest”: that helps no one. Instead, invent electric cars, solar and wind energy, CO2 capture solutions, protein sources, etc. that are so cheap that you can replace alternatives. Whether those are ‘better’ can be subjective.

The article would be more convincing if it described the day in the life of someone with a middle-class Western lifestyle with no carbon footprint and not destroying wildlife habitats. By saying that current alternatives are not encouraging, he’s arguing for degrowth (or catastrophic environmental changes) not against.

I honestly don't know what this "de-growth" thing is about, it sounds suspiciously like a slur invented to label any sustainable economy advocate so they stop messing up industry with rules about how much energy or resources you can waste.

And the arguing isn't great either, when saying why their opponents arguments are wrong they demonstrate it partially by the following incredibly general statement:

> Past trends are no guarantee of future trends

and without any qualification why this would only apply to one sort of trend they assert their own trend as fact

> And the fact that rich countries have hit an inflection point where economic growth no longer depends on growing resource

Or in clearer words: "Your trend is false and will break tomorrow, but my trend is an eternal truth!". This sort of bluntly self serving argument does not fill me with confidence that there is much carefully crafter reasoning here.
