All those companies want to hold out for the idea that they can monopolize some corner of the industry - none of them want to be turned into purveyors of commodity products in the face of heavy competition. But the future likely lies down that path.
Just so I understand this correctly....you have individually tagged each individual resource to do this for an AWS org with over 200 member accounts? Then enabled the presumably hundreds of thousands of individual tags for Cost Explorer to pick up?

From what we've heard from our customers no one is doing this (or wants to do this) and would prefer to just a flip a switch and have Vantage handle it on their behalf.
Total gamechanger. Between this, Bitwig and PipeWire, I think Linux can really be my full-time studio choice.

how feasible is this, given that sockets and chipsets change every 2 years? also, the ultra low voltage / TDP parts are rarely available for purchase by end users.

> Each of those "firebombings" were conducted by 50+ B-29 bombers. When you see so many bombers show up on radar, you dispatch the fighters, you know things are about to happen.

1. By mid-1945, Japan no longer had any fuel for those fighters.

2. B-29s cruised at 40,000', way out of reach of Japanese fighters.

At that point in the war, whether or not you see a single, or 50 B-29s, Japanese air defense would ignore them, because Japan no longer had a working air defense. The only difference is that in the latter, the firefighting crews would start getting ready.
I got one of the first waves, it's awesome. My only complaint so far is getting the fingerprint sensor to function properly in Linux - but that may be more of an issue with fprintd/libfprint than anything.

I'm dual booting Win10 and Debian, and absolutely no issues under Windows so far either.

The battery life is great, the screen is extremely crisp and bright, and the keyboard actually feels decent to type on.

Well, maybe he's happier this way? There's a classic joke about a lifelong smoker talking to a stop-smoking councillor:

"Then where's your Ferrari?"

It's a good question. Most of us have the financial capability to be extremely extravagant with a few select areas of our life, but instead we average everything down to boring mediocrity.

In the case of Pakistan, the principal geopolitical rival is India. Despite the fact that both have nuclear arsenals and have had skirmishes over Kashmir, a couple of which after they both made public their nuclear capability, neither of them have tried to use those weapons.

What makes it any different if Saudi Arabia, Iran and Israel have them instead?
I've never had a laptop with one long enough to get used to it, but I assume it's because it's right there in the keyboard where your hands already are, rather than because it's any better at moving the pointer around than a trackpad/mouse.

If your colleagues don't trust you in the roll of CEO, the important executive act is not convincing them. It is finding someone they trust. Which means asking them and finding someone better than you.

Depends very much on what exactly you need. Up to 2^64-1 leading zeros followed by as high as you like (the RAM is the limit) positive value?

Then implement some traits for it add, sub, pow, to_string etc. and work with it.

Generally I agree, but thinktanks exist to produce studies that strengthen a pre-established political position. Taking them as an objective source is misunderstanding what a thinktank is for.

>I generally want a new kernel/OS underneath

Huh? That's weird, Linux, OSX and Windows kernels have been battle-tested and hardened for like 30 years or so now. I can't imagine what kind of application would need a different kernel to start with.

Aside from security concerns (which you didn't mention, plus one could argue an LTS is safer), could you give a specific example of:

The Doolittle[1] raid was done by carrier-launched bombers (Who then had to land in China and the USSR[2], because they could not land on the carrier that launched them), but that was a one-off propaganda stunt.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doolittle_Raid

[2] Because the USSR was not at war with Japan, by the rules of neutrality, the crew got to drink vodka and play cards for the next year, until they 'escaped' Soviet custody into UK/US occupied territories. Their bomber, however, remained.
Jira somehow manages to perfectly capture the soupy grottiness of a hangover with its user experience. The cloud edition especially is like swimming in treacle, there's just so many little glitches and random bouts of sluggishness it feels like you're dealing with a quick proof of concept someone wrote when they were drunk one afternoon, not the polished product of a billion-dollar juggernaut.
Yup, there's a thing called a "suspicious activity report":

https://www.occ.treas.gov/topics/supervision-and-examination...

Millions of these are filed per year. Obviously not all of these - probably not even most of these - are about actual crimes or end up in actual prosecutions, but the banks still have to file them.
I've noticed how often I check the time on my phone. Tapping the screen isn't a big deal but I still feel like a flick of the wrist would be more convenient, and there are times when the phone isn't right next to me.. Also, digging a big phone out of the pocket and putting it back when I'm on a walk is worse, nevermind doing that while driving a car (the clock on the radio seems to be always wrong).

So I've been thinking about buying a watch for a couple years now. I finally did it last Saturday. Coincidentally, a Casio, and thanks to this thread I'm even more excited for it than before :) It hasn't been shipped out yet.

I used to like being able to control everything about my machine. I'd spend hours hacking away at making my Linux distro just the way I'd like it, and fixing things when they broke, figuring out drivers and oddities. This laptop seems to have the same culture.

Now I just buy a MacBook and the concept of "things breaking" and "having to fix my computer" just isn't a thing anymore.

> In what way do they limit the USB-C they pass through?

GP means that if you use one other than the USB-C pass-through module, it's (trivially) a proper subset of the USB-C functionality that you started out with.

I don't really see the issue: the alternative is that you do that in a dongle more external to the laptop anyway?
Some don't, sure, but many do.

I care. I often swap out parts. My family and friends care, because I help them swap out parts when needed, especially during critical failures when they need it working ASAP and can't risk some corporation formatting the hard drive for no reason.

And my coworkers care because they're fellow techies and do this stuff, too.
I'm not pushing back too hard on this idea, because in general you are likely right about almost anything, that most people don't care that much. However, I'm not sure that Apple really proved that most people don't want too many choices. The choice to buy an Apple computer could be for any number of reasons. Like for example, I really like macOS and the integration between my iPhone and my MacBook for things like iMessage. Anytime I've bought an Apple computer it's felt like I have to compromise on the hardware options, but I still do it because I like other aspects of the overall ecosystem.
> they sometimes get involved in politics, through supporting one candidate over another, donating to a campaign, or hiring lobbyists.

Union political lobbying is persistent in every election, using ‘sometimes get involved’ is not an accurate description for how frequent it is.

True. I don't want to update every day or even every week. It's annoying and I rarely see any product improvement that affects my sentiment of the software equal to the annoyance of waiting several minutes a week to use the software while it's updating.

Give me an option for monthly updates and save the daily updates for product testers and people who aren't happy if they aren't running their PC on software's bleeding edge.

Also, I as an individual shouldn't be expected to pay monthly for using the software that is already paid for and installed on my machine. That process should be for corporate licensing, and individuals should be able to pay once and be done with it.
>From outside that society, how people put up with this, living with regular active shooter drills, managing the additional anxiety, etc, is definitely going to be of interest.

The active shooter drills are designed solely to scare the children into being frightened of guns. The actual solution to the problem is arming some volunteer subset of the school staff, but this is unpalatable to one side of the political spectrum, so instead teachers frighten children in the hopes that frightened children will become frightened adults who will ban guns.

> And that's ignoring the fact that nuclear war was just theoretical.

Not after Hiroshima, it wasn't.

I would say that the dread of nuclear war was greater than the dread of climate change. You think we could be hosed in 100 years? Thinking we could all be dead in 15 minutes is... different.

And the fear seemed more palpable at the time. I saw the way my dad moved when the Emergency Warning System came on the TV. He doesn't react like that to climate change warnings...

amazing takeaway paragraph:

> United States Intelligence quickly noticed the prevalence of F-91Ws on the wrists of Islamist fighters. Secret files about the Guantanamo military detention camp published by Wikileaks say Pakistani authorities discovered some 600 to 700 Casios in two workshops in Karachi, and that simply owning one could warrant an interrogation. One prisoner’s evaluation sheet confirms “about a third of inmates at JTF-GTMO [the unit in charge of Guantanamo] who were captured wearing one of these watches had a known correlation with explosives”.

At best that’s a naive interpretation, Chinese manufacturing firms don’t do this to “make up the difference” they do it because they can. They don’t just do it to apple, it’s standard practice, in spite of international ip protections.
Not sure. I don't use them.
we'll have to wait and see whether this actually happens, but if so, that would certainly invalidate my biggest criticism. if they could pull it off on a 14"-15.6" chassis with a discrete gpu, they would probably get my money.

I like the Framework laptops as well, but I think there's a problem I'm not sure is gonna work out in the end.

If I understood it correctly, you can buy replacement parts only from Framework. They will have supply issues, and customers will be unhappy.

I guess if the laptops don't ever break, or if the customers' need for replacement parts is more theoretical than real, it could work out. Or they somehow manage to get over the small, niche manufacturer hump and become a Lenovo with massive scale. I doubt that's gonna happen.

Choosing not to have kids is still an uncommon stance. Are they really presenting themselves as martyrs, or just trying to normalise an unpopular idea that has merits? Is it helpful to dismiss them like that? Maybe they're not the same ones doing high carbon pursuits?

The US doesn't have the moral high ground either. Every country has issues.

As a German who's currently in Dubai, I find it amusing when an American judges the UAE.

The US has tons of undocumented/illegal immigrants which live in horrible conditions, but companies still employ them because they're cheap. How's that not modern slavery?
How about all the H1B abuses?

In the UAE some companies may abuse the situation of foreign workers too, but the government clearly says you should not hand out your passport.

My American coworkers get taxed on their worldwide income, which basically only one other country does. Dictatorship?

The US started killed so many innocent people in the Middle East to get their hands on the oil.
The answer is I want a competitive market filled with options that range from a completely sealed, disposable monoliths to machines like this Framework product where components are easily replaced and/or upgraded by me or any qualified or unqualified person I choose. And I want that _without_ the easily circumvented bureaucratic hellscape of lobbyists and captured regulators incestuously welding down the status quo in perpetuity.
Getting a noise less and fast laptop is a good improvement. It's like going from a fossil car to an electric one. So much less noise and vibrations. The noise is acceptable but it's annoying to go back.

The US government is having to address ransomware crime, a topical issue, in the middle of a gigantic rise in ransomware crime.

I hope this starts a trend! For the past 25 years that I've been building machines I've never upgraded the processor or motherboard - but I've added memory, added more storage or replaced a power supply. This fills that need just fine! Ultimately it supports up to 64 GB of RAM and 8 TB of storage! This is a machine that could last for years! Imagine now if we start standardizing on a laptop chassis, laptop motherboards, laptop keyboards, and laptop displays! We could have a builder's market just like we do today for desktops!

Honestly, this is one of the best new ideas I've seen in a long time!

P.S. Imagine ten years from now - we may be doing the same thing with phones! Oh yeah, I really hope this idea takes off!
> the science community has spent 18 months pushing vaccines and refuse to seriously look into Ivermectin.

The thing is, vaccines just work. They don't "might be effective", "could be", "maybe, perhaps". They just work.

Ivermectin, might work, with "might" the crucial word. Running randomized double blind trials is not cheap. The "science community" is not a monolith, and doesn't have infinite resources.

> This is serious, serious malfeasance.

Who exactly is guilty of that "malfeasance"? Who had the money and the mandate to run the trials for Ivermectin and didn't?

The US Government had the money and the Congressional mandate to run the Warp Speed program, and some of the programs it has underwritten have ended up in success (Pfizer, Moderna, J&J), and some didn't.

Ivermectin was not part of Warp Speed. Again, who was supposed to do the trials, and is therefore guilty of "malfeasance" ?
What problem do you think they're part of?

According to Clayton Christensen, there's a cycle between integrated and modular, as consumer perferences change. At first performance is inadequate, but once it is good enough, people base their buying decisions on other things like customization.

e.g. By this theory, android would become more popular than iphone.

EDIT yes, which happened, favouring the theory; despite iphone still leading performance, due to integration even to cpu and gpu.
