I've been to two Michelin-starred Sushi places in Japan. I thought they were both amazing, but I realised that my parents would not have thought so.

They grew up relatively poor, and still have the habit of eating at home from a rotating menu of relatively straightforward recipes. Stews, soups, that kind of thing. They've gone to restaurants maybe a few dozen times in their lives, if that.

I've been to so many Sushi restaurants in so many cities that I have a nice smooth gradient of ratings along which I can place them. I can recognise and appreciate the small touches like real wasabi or expensive sake. The fancy places in Japan extended that experience just past the upper end of what I've experienced before. I could place them in context.

My parents tried a Sushi train... once. A $300 sushi set would be wasted on them, because they would be just as happy with a $50 sushi set. The difference would be completely lost on them.

Indeed, it cost almost nothing to suggest somebody should move to another state/city just to cast a vote.
I personally used to swear by the trackpoint because it was vastly superior to the touchpads of the time. A decent touchpad (definitely not the plastic shit they put on most thinkpads these days — they are unusable) blows it away though. Now I find using a trackpoint feels like moving my mouse with arrow keys. It’s just repulsive to me.

Buffett makes huge new investments very, very rarely. Three in the last 5 years.

Apple: buying began in 2016.

The 5 major Japanese trading houses (the sogo sosha -- Itochu, etc.): buying began in early 2019.

Verizon: buying began in late 2020.

They all trade at or near Berkshire's price, if not far below, and you get one new idea every few years.

There are other new purchases (Chevron, Kroger, AbbVie, Aon, RH, etc.), but these are small, lower-confidence positions that are often sold as soon as the price rises far enough. Probably Weschler and Combs, not Buffett.

I often think about how nice it is to be an adult in that I can assess, address, and manage that drama. As a kid, my god, it was overwhelming. I came out of it with a distinct sense that the world is unsafe, unstable, and unpredictable. I have a hard time shaking those tendencies.

Another great thing about being an adult is that you can provide kids with comfort and strategies to overcome that. It’s sometimes overlooked but such an easy way to enrich life for kids.

Also I find your haircut example funny - I recall my first haircut in a public place being incredibly intimidating and uncomfortable. It’s probably why I went bald before my 20s; my body decided by age 6 or so that it didn’t want hair anymore.
As someone who has hired creatives from around the world back in the day - I used to love the BTC option to settle any invoices. Back then it wasn’t as well known so it usually took a little explaining but anyone who accepted it received their payment within minutes. It was so much more preferable than dealing with banks internationally.

I had the AIM “fragile” which I got from the Regime2K exploit. I had been off AOL for a couple years when I noticed the account password was reset. I kept recovering it but the hacker was always able to get it back, even when the email was mine. I had already left the AOL scene as I was in the beginning stages of my career so I just gave up. I always wondered if they had just found a new method, but it seemed like they had to have insider access because of how consistent they were in taking it back. Wonder if was one of these two guys. Oh well, I love reading stories of the AOL days.

What are your sources for the claim that the Prophet Muhammad was illiterate? He's described as al-Nabi al-Ummi

The fraction of a given population that will voluntarily migrate is pretty low I think.

The gap between London and UK-but-not-London salaries is probably pretty comparable to the one between London and San Francisco, but most people won't move a few hundred kilometers to London to get the extra money. The proportion of people willing to move across the ocean, leave behind friends and family, and embrace a new culture, is lower still.

But I think the other commenters have it right: when British people dream of living overseas, they dream of Australia, Canada, Spain, and the south of France.
Nice! I wish the raven party was on the ballot.
> but some laptops have VGA port

Do any (non-specialist) laptops still have VGA ports? I had a quick look on the Dell site and couldn't find any.
Yes, it stretches credulity rather thin as it goes on:

> “Within 3 years,” predicts Soltys, “everyone will use Blockchain.” Referring to the graphical processing units used to run Blockchain technology, he added, “You will not be able to make a sauce bordelaise or pate a choux without a GPU,” he asserts, “And what a wonderful world it will be! So many culinary disasters could have been averted. We never would have had cronuts or rumaki or pizza with shrimp on it!”
"That should be the question."

No. That is NOT the question... because... Autopilot and FSD software suite users are required to remain attentive and ready to intervene in case o a software failure (often seen in many YouTube videos). But because they obviously, become inattentive, Autopilot usage is actually much more dangerous than having the drivers drive their cars by themselves.

It creates complacency because the moment a driver physically removes feet from the pedals and hands from the steering wheel, his or her mind cannot maintain focus on two things at the same time.

What are those two things an Autopilot user needs to perform simultaneously?
First is watching the car's surroundings, the traffic around the vehicle.
Second is watching and trying to understand software behavior in those constantly changing traffic situations.

No average Joe, college kid, grandma or grandpa is capable of focusing on two things at the same time in constant life and death environment.

Airplane pilots are not average Joes and they are constantly trained to understand flying Autopilot software limitations and capabilities in a lot less stressful and busy traffic environments, two of their main job requirements being discipline and responsibility. That is not the case with the average driver on the road.
I had a really different experience. Sydney is full of jobs, and they're much higher paying than any I had in the UK. I never lived in London though.
Cool. I wrote the AOLserver flap library and the whaops backend, and the ugly version of the front end (someone took my ugly stuff and made it nicer). The vector was the AOLserver ops team had a well known admin password that granted access in the default configuration to exec shel commands on the host. They fortunately did not notice that I had an undocumented command to send arbitrary msgs to arbitrary queues in the topology. We switched to two factor authentication for prod logins a few months later. And the person that got the AOLserver password was arrested.
I found Michelin stars in Japan came with way less pretense (and by extension / in conjunction – way smaller price tag) than in Europe / US.
This is awesome - but the bigger issue these days is the monopoly of Kindle.

Many of the books I want to read are kindle only - to the point where I'd be willing to use Adobe DRM etc. like the one used on Sony's awesome e-readers.

Sadly, my deep-seated hate for big-tech isn't shared by the commoners around me.
I'm a bit conflicted about this, because on the one hand: yeah being unable to work for a week is obviously bad, but, devices are going to fail and it could sometimes be the difference between _you_ wasting a week debugging or not.

I like the idea of being able to fix my gear if I'm away on vacation or there's no apple store around. In fact, I'm overall a big fan of repairability because I'm a bit of a tinkerer.

But if it's a work machine? Then I'd rather have a replacement on standby- and Apples time capsule/time machine stuff works better than other backup/restore systems I've used.. replacing a machine is a 2hr process if you have something usable in stock.

Eitherway: I work in Europe, so these machines literally cost more than a monthly salary, it's cheaper for the company to have me sit on my hands for a week than to have a spare laptop for me.
I would say it's quite similar to having a touch device with an integrated pen holder where pen disappears in the device (so it can't fall out) and not.

It is a "gimmick", but if you are frequently shuffling your laptop around, having a bag clear of dongles and "floating" stuff is a world of difference.

I mean, even thinness in laptops is a gimmick (it's actually the first thing I'd do away with to get maintainability, battery life and better cooling/performance/noise — fanless, anyone?), but it sells like hot cakes.
Modules slide out, you don't need a screw driver or anything. It's all by hand. Hence the easy of use.

So no pulling anything apart. Think of it almost as each one as a game boy cartridge.

I just left a data role working with a 20-year veteran of the field. The experience matched my expectations going in: unrewarding, demotivating, kind of menial. I'm not looking back, and feel kind of baffled by friends taking on similar roles.

NFTs are interesting because they are a start of the conversation on the path of digital ownership and scarcity. As it stands now, this space is not even close to its final form and eventually the idea of digital ownership is not so far fetched.

As an example - say a famous artist decides to create 1 single sketch. I only create 1 item and sell it to you who now in turn owns that piece to do as you please whether it’s lease it out for commercial purposes, stash it away on a HD, launder money, etc etc. Sure it’s just pixels on a screen but the ownership of rights is what you are paying the artist for. (Now imagine the same scenario 10-20 years down the line when super VR is a thing and most of us spend more time in our digital lives than the real world). As the purchaser, you can now track the usage of your asset you’ve purchased through a blockchain.

So it makes sense, but the current state of small iterations of the same piece of artwork are akin to ikea pieces in real value and are completely just advantage of the current hype. There will be a correction at some point as things mature.

I had something similar happen when I went to kindergarden. (Yes, I know that's not how it's spelled. Bear with me.)

It wasn't scary, just disappointing. I had figured out that "kinder" meant "kids", and I thought they would have a garden for us kids to play in.

When I got there, it was just a classroom. There wasn't a garden in sight!

But I made up for the disappointment by royally pranking my class. I had been playing around with electrical components, and I had a big fat electrolytic capacitor. Low voltage, but plenty of capacity. It may have been one farad.

I charged it up at home to around three volts, and brought the capacitor and a screwdriver to Show and Tell.

I explained what a capacitor was and how electricity could kill you, and then I "accidentally" grabbed the two terminals, one in each hand. I twitched and convulsed like I was getting electrocuted!

Somehow I managed to let go of the terminals! Then I took the screwdriver and shorted the terminals, with a spark and a loud bang.

I told the other kids, "That was a close call! But it's safe now. I discharged it. Who wants to try it next?"

Given the transportation options at the time, is that really the wrong place for such a factory? Clearly the factory exploding was bad, but without trains or trucks to move large amounts of processed material around, wouldn't in the middle of the city, dangerous as it was, be the best place to have the resources from which to be able to mount a defense from outside invaders?

It would be different with trains/cars, but before then?
Made me think of the scene in Snowden where he snuck out a microSD card by hiding it in a Rubik's Cube
yes but how is it e.g. on a knife maker to control who uses it? it's up to the police to police it.

private payments just make ransomware payments easier. they don't create a new source of the criminal intent.

should we, therefore, not improve global access to food and healthcare because some of the people whose actions would be empowered by it are criminals?

plus, private payments are in theory a literal requirement for soundness of the money system due to fungibility concerns, and also, you might argue, a requirement to protect the freedoms of certain people such as abused spouses.

there might be some sufficiently important human rights issues that only a censorship resistant private money system can solve... and I'm not sure if ransomware increases are really much to do with the availability of digital currencies so much as a symptom of other social problems. it's somewhat a question of whether solving e.g. ransomware issues is worth the effort if it means we get the other humanitarian solutions and social benefits from something like Monero.

Two factor auth (password + RSA token) was used for vpn/ssh from home and to access high security stuff (which I never got access to) at Yahoo when I joined in 2004. If AOL was having trouble with security, requiring it for admin tools would have been reasonable and feasible in 2005.
The including of the 45-day threshold in that law is tantamount to admission of corruption. Why else would it be there? Because we don't have the technology to automatically disclose their every trade in less time?

(I know we are not talking about automatic disclosure, but if we were, the time scales could be seconds, not weeks.)
I thought it would be annoying, but for me it's not been a big deal. i wiggle it a little on my way to the bathroom in the morning and then it's fine.

Also it's something I only have to do when I haven't worn it in a few days, so there's a limit to how much of it you have to do. (Worst case is if you wear the watch for one day every three days or something. Any less or more wearing and you have to wiggle it less often.)
And yet one can find 20 year old software in many domains that just keeps plugging away. The problem isn't infancy. It's an industry that monetizes planned obsolescence and chases shiny. Many of us might as well sell bellbottoms followed by skinny jeans followed by bellbottoms.

This topic makes me think of:

"underground coal-seam fires are the most persistent fires on Earth and can burn for thousands of years, like Burning Mountain in Australia"

"The oldest coal fire in China is in Baijigou (白芨沟, in Dawukou District of Shizuishan City, Ningxia) and is said to have been burning since the Qing Dynasty (before 1912)."

"The Centralia mine fire is a coal-seam fire that has been burning underneath the borough of Centralia, Pennsylvania, United States, since at least May 27, 1962"

"In 1979, locals became aware of the scale of the problem when a gas-station owner, then-mayor John Coddington, inserted a dipstick into one of his underground tanks to check the fuel level. When he withdrew it, it seemed hot. He lowered a thermometer into the tank on a string and was shocked to discover that the temperature of the gasoline in the tank was 172 °F"

I had a family member working for an AOL call center around that time, the physical token they had was from RSA. At least at the time, it was required for nearly anything, including logging into the customer desktop application.
Dropping constant factor does not seem that important to be honest. The important thing to be exposed to/take away was the logarithmic behaviour. I'm sure if you want to go be a seismologist you will quickly learn all the details. If people realise the magnitudes are exponentially more damaging , then isn't that sufficient for the general audience?

That is why you have to judge it against an active baseline: for example, a buy and hold strategy.
I think it's fair to say though that even if you don't have a throwaway culture, apple certainly has a throwaway culture and has been cultivating it in their users heavily (often by integrating their devices more than is necessary). Seems you managed to escape their wiles but many haven't.
