The latest Dacia Sandero is selling better than all other models in its class for a few months now - even if it's basically a revamped last-gen Renault Clio with even lower quality interior and safety features. Some people prefer a basic, cheaper car.
That's part of the balance they're trying to strike I believe. They are trying to gather more people around the concept of good enough tech and durability. Agree recycling is not ideal, there is always energy and material loss in the process.

Tech must slow down in my opinion.

>Your smartphone is a way more noisy electrical environment than your car.

Cellphones are are certainly tricky, but in a different way than cars. In my experience with EMF measurement and EMI compliance at Underwriters Labs, cars are uniquely challenging due to the relatively strong EMF generation from the huge number of motors, solenoids, coils other magnetic bits banging around and interacting with each other in hard-to-predict ways.
I remember having an electric car when they were new.

Some places offered free electric car charging, and there was always someone parked there abusing it.

Meanwhile with only the most nominal cost, people would make better use of the resource allowing it to become available to others.

It is exceptionally deceptive, particularly in massive economies like the US which produce dramatic scaling outcomes like a Bezos or Gates, an Apple or Netflix or Walmart. China is going to struggle with that same issue persistently.

And it's also true that it's pretty clear the US median wealth figure should be higher than it is, considering the vast average wealth figure in the US. The gap between those two numbers should not be as great as it is. And blatantly the bottom 50% of the population should have a lot more wealth than they do at present.

Maybe if the US had eg a good universal healthcare system (and no more medical bankruptcies), half of the country wouldn't mind so much that that median vs average wealth gap is what it is. Social contracts are important. You get this, they get that. As it is, the US social contract is not so great these days, compared to other affluent peer nations. The US has a large welfare state and gets a lot less for its spending compared to other peers. If our healthcare costs matched Britain per capita, Medicaid could instantly expand to cover 40-45% of the population for example, at no additional cost.
Secure boot is necessary but not in itself sufficient for ransomware prevention. The worst ransomware hijacks the boot process. It can encrypt the entire hard drive.

I live in a very nice surburban walkable area. We have a very substantial freeway about a mile from us that I routinely cross; there is a bike/pedestrian footbridge that goes over on one point, and a sidewalk that goes over about a mile further south. This is totally doable so perhaps work with the city to build one.

I start each day with 4miles and then try to get to 8-10 miles a day. It's hard to do 10, but 8 is pretty routine. All in maybe 3H a day, where I do meetings, etc. and listen to audiobooks.

Yeah, I agree. To add onto your sentiment that it was a combination [of things]... I'd like to add that it's a bit reductionist for people to suggest an extinction is one thing (e.g. it was pesticides, it was climate change, etc...). Sure, sometimes it might be ONE thing, but I would guess that in most cases it's a combination of stresses coming together.
Tesla has done a decent job of mitigating some of the chip shortages since they are so vertically integrated. Though obviously Tesla produces way less cars than Toyota/Honda/VW. But other manufacturers simply can't do this even if they wanted to since they outsource most of this stuff.

I think that view was based on the (probably correct) idea that sufficiently reliable physical qubits could not be built. The more qubits in the computer, the more reliable the qubits would need to be.

Since the discovery of quantum ECC, that's no longer a reason to believe a quantum computer can't be built, a reliable logical qubit can be built out of a number of less reliable physical qubits.
Yeah, titles are a strange thing. There are a lot of PhDs out there earning bupkiss, but they're still "doctor"s, and that carries a certain respect.

The problem I have with this solution is that I don't trust Google not to take my money and then still stalk me. This requires providing valid billing & payment information (otherwise the payment wouldn't go through) where as without it you could technically create an account with fake details.

Even when paying for it the YouTube UX is pretty terrible and you're still locked-in to their apps (even though if the service is paid there should be no commercial reason for why third-party clients couldn't be allowed, unless Google wants to "double-dip" by taking money and still tracking or annoying their users with engagement-generating UX).

While technically the customer asked for the solution to problem A, they wanted us to solve problem B, but we failed to invoke our inner patio11, and as a result delivered what they said instead of what they meant. A frustrating lesson for me. At that point in my career I should have known better already.

ETA: sibling comment about Cortex-M0 is spot on. You really start counting bytes. Some kiB of RAM sound a lot, but when you have to juggle several tasks, and don't have to option to write from scratch but instead reuse existing old code you've lying around, stuff gets dirty pretty quickly.

The gold standard ended in 1933. Bretton Woods wasn't really a return to the gold standard. It was really just a way for the US to profit off of the recovery from WW2. They wasn't particularly careful with printing money back then either. Europe and Japan were desperate for international liquidity to rebuild their economies, so they were initially happy to exchange gold for dollars at unfavorable rates. After they no longer needed the dollar, they stopped purchasing them, so the US had no choice but to end Bretton Woods.

Again, you're saying government control won't have these problems.

Socialist governments produced tremendous environmental problems because even though the government consisted solely of altruistic, self-sacrificing, dedicated, incorruptible administrators, the people still needed food, clothing, and washing machines. And the government would try to provide them, rather than face mass starvation.
Thanks. It is working.
To put things in perspective, in 1999 I joined a company that ipo’ed in 1997. The company’s first admin assistant made enough from the ipo to buy a vineyard in Napa valley. I was employee 40 at a YC company and after exit I made 5 figures whereas the founders made high 8 figures. YC definitely teaches the founders to keep a higher percentage of equity for themselves and distribute less to employees.
Scalpers are not the problem as they seem, they are like market makers for stock exchanges. They buy low and sell high, always. The factory could tell you that they're currently out of stock for the next few months, but a scalper will never be out of stock, because their prices rises so high that only very few desperate companies would buy. The point is, it's better to have the option to buy something at a high price, than to have no option to buy at all.
Backup cameras have been an optional extra for a long time sure, but I don't think I'm aware of any car that actually comes standard with one. Well, maybe a Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

First, there is no such thing as digital. It is just an abstraction to facilitate our understanding and design of circuits. Any number of issues can cause that abstraction to fail, even deep within a modern chip, let alone at the board level. On-chip cross talk, RC drop, and ground bounce are simple analog issues that have to be contended with on digital designs. Every chip has a power supply and the smaller geometry chips have less tolerance to supply spikes. Same with I/O including voltage range tolerances and ESD protection. All that gets harder in smaller geometries. Also factor in circuit lifetimes (including digital). Due to a variety of mechanisms, small geometry chips just are not as reliable and some of these mechanisms are very hard to accelerate so qualification is a nightmare.

A smart phone is not a "way more noisy" environment than a car. It has different issues, and frankly a far more constrained and predictable environment. A load dump event in a car can take the 12V supply over 100V. I have never heard of that in cell phone. Long wiring harnesses are a nightmare and require careful design. It is hard to compare a cell phone and car without a clear definition of "noisy", but as someone who has designed systems similar to both, I think the car is a harder set of problems. Just not as constrained noise sources or components.

> But just discarding best practices because no one understands the reasons behind is also silly.

So what do you do with a "best practice" that doesn't make any sense to you? Do you just keep doing it forever because you can't understand why anybody would invent it in the first place? To take an example I'm familiar with, there's a good chance if you don't understand a Java OOP best practice it's because you've never encountered the problems it was designed to cope with. The OOP design principles that came out of the 1990s and became orthodox in Java around the turn of the century were built to solve the problem of scaling monolithic application development to teams of dozens or hundreds of developers. You would have dozens of people, imperfectly coordinated, hacking on a monolithic codebase for an application that was released quarterly (if that!) and ran on servers that cost more than the CEO's car. The coding style innovations of that era naturally focused on coming up with more and more ways to add layers of protective abstraction, and on training programmers to add those layers to their code no matter what, even if it doesn't seem worth it because 99% of the time, if somebody didn't understand that it was worth it, it was because they were inexperienced and hadn't lived through a horrific integration debacle that delayed the quarterly release by a month.

In my opinion, if your problems don't resemble those turn-of-the-century enterprise monolith problems, then you shouldn't program in turn-of-the-century OOP style, and you should take "best practices" from that era with a huge grain of salt. You should only use them if you can see how your codebase will benefit from them.

Even Java, the bastion of OOP conservatism, is acknowledging that "best practices" are relative by adding record classes. Record classes are first-class language support for violating the best practices that were drilled into generations of Java programmers!

(There are people who do have those turn-of-the-century enterprise monolith problems, for example, library developers! They ship their changes to hundreds or even thousands of people they've never met, who don't keep up with project updates, and who don't budget time to deal with breaking changes. So a lot of the ideas turn out to be really valuable! Just not for, say, small teams building microservices.)

If you're making $86B in advertising revenue, then every junior data scientist whose entire job might be to optimise ad click-throughs for cat food in Mongolia by 3% is a net win for the company. If they are getting better at cat food ads, they are doing more.
