I apologize if I implied that, admittedly it came off as a bit of a strawman. It's just something that's been on my mind lately in part due to issues with the current power structure. But you are right, if we managed to move from the feudal to current system, why should it not be possible to find something even better?

On the other hand I figure there needs to be a relief valve for the kinds of people that enjoy being feudal lords, and the corporations provide that right now. Perhaps something even better can be devised but it needs to be done because that type of person will always exist.
To detect cosmic rays? I doubt it; detecting them would be possible, but pointless since you couldn't reasonably act on the information - any such solution would probably need Heisenberg compensators since the tools to detect the radiation would most interfere with the radiation you are trying to detect. It's probably better to just shield all the things, or add integrity checks everywhere.

To detect bitflipping errors? Yes. Use cryptographically secure algorithms and protocols that ensure that messages have integrity checks in transit and in memory.

To detect crashes? Probably not - if a bit flips in memory without hardware level error correction that reports the error, there isn't really a way to detect what caused the error.

Insurance companies are already over pricing Tesla coverage, which is why Tesla is bothering to get into this market at all. The end effect here might just be the rate they are offering now becoming justified as Tesla plucks all the lower risk fruit away from them.

I think PHP7+ has provided a lot in terms of modernization and focus on the OO paradigm.

For what it's worth, there are a couple of tools out there that should help getting your personal app up and running on PHP7 if you're interested in doing that at some point. Most of the breaking changes I've run into are because deprecated features were removed, which in a lot of cases seemed like strange/wrong syntax to me anyway.

I have a legacy app that can't feasibly be updated past 5.6 because it uses a totally undocumented framework that wasn't built in-house. While I could run one of the tools I mentioned, 99% of the framework code probably never runs so there would be a lot of work done for nothing.

That's a fair point. Let's compare:

GM sold 7.72 million vehicles in 2019 ([1]), which was before shortages. Tesla will likely ship around 0.9 million of vehicles in 2021.

So, yes, the point is correct. There's still an order of magnitude gap between GM and Tesla in regards to number of cars sold. Thank you.

You don't have to, and I personally also find small-talk with strangers rather tedious, but in the specific cases brought up by the author, it sounded like he would've saved himself time by just briefly explaining his reasoning. Which also would've had the nice side-effect of treating his interlocutors as rational human beings worthy of a measure of respect.

It pains me what's happened to discourse in the last 10 years. I suspect social media has played a role. Many liberals and conservatives frequent these online partisan bubbles where they are exposed to the crazies of the other side (and only the crazies) while dodging the controversies that would make them question their own beliefs.

Surely, if there are foreign propaganda peddlers on social media, then the strategy they follow is not to aid one party or the other, but to pull from both sides until we collapse in the middle.

Another tip I use a lot: ask just one question per email.

This seems inefficient, and it is, but there's a subset of people with whom I communicate in my industry, and they almost always will only answer one of my questions if I put multiple questions in an email. Even a simple one like:

> Two quick questions for you:

> 1. Do you want this or that?

> 2. Which do you like better, A or B?

Limiting to a single question and then following up with a second question takes longer, but I don't feel rude having to point out the second question that was missed/ignored from my initial email.
To my knowledge, LG hasn't implied that they want a piece of YouTube's revenue, while the Roku executive team has hinted that capturing some of the revenue from the streaming services is one of their long term goals.

I suspect YouTube's dealmakers think Roku are being sticklers to try to extract a small financial concession, and they're afraid that if they give an inch, it'll open the floodgates and everyone will want a piece of their revenue.

You have more freedom now, but that doesn't mean you are free. And the lack of freedom does not mean you should go back in time to when you were less free.

The truth is that your choices are determined by your options; in the past those options were determined by your feudal lord, and now they're determined by which corporate datastreams you choose to ingest.

We are freer now to create a pool of many more options, and the competitiveness of some markets forces corporations to give better options than the monopolies of the past.
But you still will be left with little choice if you passively ingest the data you receive, especially as corporations invest in AI to both identify options you will like as well as funnel you into self-feeding culture bubbles in order to make you more predictable... for their profit.

I think you have to make actions which collect as many options as possible, analyzing what you receive from corporations, and choosing to also consider which non-corporate options are available to you with your surplus of money and freedom that those in the past didn't have.
This is a lesson from Gödel, Escher, Bach's Tortoise and Achilles stories too. Because the Tortoise refuses to accept Modus ponens (if A implies B, and A, then B), Achilles is unable to convince it of anything. The facts Achilles tells the Tortoise aren't any less true for its stubborn refusal to accept them, but Achilles won't convince the Turtle of them.

If people won't be reasoned with, don't waste your time trying. On the upside, Mother Nature doesn't care what you believe - as hundreds of Americans, disproportionately Republicans, are learning every day at the moment.
I believe one of the problems it solves is that steel has a tendency to erode over time. Hence major infrastructure failures. If structural elements can be made to the same strength as steel, using HW, which will not erode at the same pace of steel, than the expected lifetime of a structure increases and that is solving a real problem.

You're assuming they are in the US. In Norwegian cities (e.g. Oslo, Stavanger), Teslas are everywhere because of the high value of the Norwegian Kroner, high local wages, and government subsidies on EVs.

Thanks for sharing the link! I’ve heard the bulk insert thing before and to be honest I’ve always thought that RDBMSs don’t love single row inserts either. Seems clickhouse takes that to a new level.

In our case we are using sqs and usually insert 20-100 rows into the db at a time so I’m going to benchmark how that does in clickhouse.
Low end analyzers are good for slow signals. 24Mhz is a common sampling rate for less than $30. Just remember that your bus needs to be less than half that speed, and even then the analyzer may lie to you if your bus speed is anywhere near half your sample rate. Also the timings in your bus can greatly effect what the logic analyzer will show vs what the cpu sees. I had a false positive last week when I should have just looked at the rx the cpu was seeing when trying to get an SPI peripheral working on a new chip.

So I may be in the market for a better analyzer soon. But all in all my $30 was a good investment, and has made it easier to setup new serial protocols.
If I think of PG's accomplishments they could be characterized as "discovering things which are new" to him, but also characterized as taking ideas that were cutting edge, uncommon, or out of favor and bringing them to fruition (sounds more like engineering).

I don't think of the YC structure as discovering anything inherently new but taking an approach that was not being done in the VC industry and trying to scientifically iterate on it.

Bayesian spam filtering seemed a discovery to him, but it wasn't for science: someone else had already published a paper even. However, the results of previous attempts weren't good enough until PG focused on the problem and used a large enough corpus of data.
I don't think your personal reading comfort is the focus of whoever is writing threads on Twitter. Blogs are long form content, with structure and chapters and long sentences. Twitter threads are a collection of short, abbreviated thoughts that center around a subject.

These two rarely compete. I don't think I've ever seen a Twitter thread that would be better if it were a blog, and I don't think I've seen blogs that I'd rather see as a twitter thread.

If you're a blogger or website designer then you have entirely different goals than the people writing threads on Twitter. People here moan all the time about things being a Twitter thread instead of a blog but nobody cares about what you prefer. Twitter threads are the result of someone on social media deciding to talk for a bit more than one post, not some predetermined article someone wants to write. There's no long draft being queued one by one, posts are told separately.

Expecting people to set up a blog and link to it is like asking a friend who's telling you a story to stop and write the whole thing down because all of the unnecessary side details are distracting you. It's unnecessary, rude and if they went along it'd detract from the story being told. If you dislike the way content is brought out on Twitter, don't go to Twitter. You can block it in your Pihole, Adblocker, hosts file, you name it. Don't tell others how to tell their stories, that's not your call to make.

I'd prefer more people I follow to be on open alternatives such as Mastodon, but I'm not going to write blogs about advicing people why Twitter is bad and Mastodon is better.
Yes we can. It takes patience and an open mind and usually face to face conversation.
You are 100% right, I'm sick and tired of these damn Republicans first it was an unnecessary war then it was discriminating against blacks, not to mention the open collusion with foreign powers to get their person in the White House, now they are actually killing people with their stupid illterate anit-vacc stances, enough is enough I say. We need to do something about these dangerous people that subscribe to dangerous ideals.

I think we should start tracking them. Maybe we could force them to attend re-education, it would be a pain to implement and enforce on a wide societal level but maybe we could concentrate them in some sort of camp or something. I think this would be a good solution we could finally be rid of these dangerous ideas, and the people who hold them.

I’ll stay out of this one:)
The people parroting/pushing empty phrases like "do your part", "we're in this together" and "safe and effective" that mean absolutely _nothing_ in the grand scheme of things are part of the problem.

We never were "in this together", which is proven immediately by the hostility/acts of violence that people who are vaccine hesitant get from everybody for even daring to suggest they keep their job in the middle of the largest economic disruption in the past 4-5 decades!

The vaccine isn't "safe and effective" - in pretty much every bit of media (social, corporate, or otherwise), it's taboo to talk about any specifics or any possibility of it causing harm like "we're now finding out that the vaccine only works for 6 months", "my cousin had the second dose of the vaccine and died a week later" - it's even encouraged and endorsed by the same outlets to make fun of people who are concerned - "people are taking horse dewormer! (and we'll conflate everyone that takes ivermectin as taking horse dewormer, even if they got it prescribed by a doctor or pharmacist!)".

The media and the government is lying and being deceitful to the public in order to push an agenda. Remember when they lied about masks not being effective at stopping transmission because they were worried they didn't have enough stock for healthcare workers? You lie once, while being the government who is in ULTIMATE power over its citizens, and you lose all credibility to MILLIONS of people.

What does "do your part" even mean? It's so vague and wishy-washy that the definition ends up being whatever the person parroting it decides it to be. Does it mean "mask up, get vaccinated, don't have private events but allow huge amounts of people in grocery stores/public places", or does it mean "wear a mask, socially distance from people, stay in your home 24/7 until the government says it's okay to go outside"?
Only insane in the context of recent decades. The vast bulk of jurisprudence (centuries) supported a much more restrictive reading of 2A, and changing that was a concerted effort of conservative groups (starting in the ~1980s), particularly out of more conservative law schools such as those in Tennessee.

This was pretty well documented at the time if you would like to read about it[0].

Colbert's joke was based on a comment from a Bush staffer concerning the "reality-based community" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality-based_community):

The aide said that guys like me were 'in what we call the reality-based community,' which he defined as people who 'believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.' [...] 'That's not the way the world really works anymore,' he continued. 'We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors...and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do'.

It's actually a poignant, forward-thinking point about the malleability of "reality" and "facts" under empire, but predictably the third-way neolibs that still dominate the party failed to grasp that and first made a joke out of it, and then out of themselves as it was realized.
Big sad.
Even commodity manufacturing is its own art because you have to make millions of something per day instead of tens of thousands. You have to take material in one side of the factory and spit it out the other as fast as you can. You've crossed the limits of being able to warehouse half completed bits because machine #17 has gone on the fritz again and nobody can finish product.

So I need more reliable equipment and then I still need to make them at a lower price than the luxury model I'm copying.

I don't think anyone who has entirely avoided skilled manual labor in their lives quite comprehends how big a difference there is being able to do something well, and being able to do it at scale. It's almost not the same problem domain.

It's not that much different than what happened to weev 10 years ago--a leaky url which was secured in the sense that it was unlinked and 'secret' (one had to guess the user's id).

The legal conclusion was simple: weev did not have authorization to access those URLs.

The implication being that you are not free to type whatever you want into the URL bar. If I make something accessible by URL accidentally, I haven't given you permission to access that URL.

I've stolen a similar technique from one of my favorite coworkers ever, which is to preface my questions but "This might be a silly question, but...".

I like this because I feel like it kind of de-stigmatizes asking "obvious" questions. If you acknowledge that the the question might be redundant, but ask it anyway, I think it makes the dialog more approachable.
