How does that paradox square with the transition of intolerant societies into tolerant ones? Where intolerant attitudes were not only tolerated, but the norm?

If this was really a paradox, such a transition should be impossible. But since such transitions took place, the same forces that enabled them can also prevent a society from becoming intolerant.

Of course in practice this paradox is only ever invoked by those that get to define what counts as "intolerance", or those that agree with the current definition.
Still, the going price for a W-3245 is more than $2,000. That's just the CPU, no memory, motherboard or anything else. A 16" MacBook with 16GB of RAM is $2,499.

The MacBook comes with a free display, input devices and a UPS :)
The older Tesla's do lose up to 30% range in the cold, but all the currently sold Teslas have heat pumps which largely fixed that problem. It's true that you won't get your rated range unless you're driving on the level and not going faster than 55, but you'll get more than enough range to get between Superchargers on road trips or to putter around town all day. If you want to putter around town all day and then leave for a road trip, you better super charge in between.

Very good point.

But from reading a bit of the script I think what this wants to do is install play services and google apps as "system" apps that have more privileges than normal apps. I'm not sure if one can do that with adb.

Good ones. Here's what I'd say:

1. Belief/religion: there's an experiment I heard about where researchers put a banana in a tree but monkeys got shocked if they went for it. So the monkeys stopped trying to get that banana. And then the researchers gradually replaced each monkey with one who'd never been shocked. The new monkeys also never went for the tree banana, having picked up on the superstition from their group.

2. Organizations are just like packs or pods, not all of which are genetically based in nature.

3. Money is an interesting one. I'm not aware of animals even bartering or trading objects with each other, but I also wouldn't be surprised to hear it happens. It sounds like there are cases in the wild of animals trading sex for objects though. The oldest profession just got a lot older.

Follow up to add: another way to compete with Linux is on security. The Linux kernel generally has a pretty good security record I think, but there have been plenty of serious bugs over the years. How many exploitable array-out-of-bounds errors or use-after-free errors remain in the Linux kernel? No one knows. If you can rule those out by using a safer language, that might be compelling to a lot of users who care about security above other concerns.

Of course that's hard to pull off in practice. Linux might have classes of errors that wouldn't exist if it were written in Rust, but even if using Rust eliminates three fourths of the code defects, the end result could be less secure if Linux gets ten or a hundred times as much scrutiny from people actively looking through the code for bugs to fix.

I have a question, how do you manage the fact that Supabase is based on a relational db[1]? Do you just put all fields (except the primary key) in a JSON column[2]? Does it work well if you use it that way? We were investigating it as a way to escape Firebase's vendor lock-in but the fact that we would have to manage schema migrations was a bit of a deal breaker based on our use case. I'm also interested in hearing about any alternatives to Supabase that use a document-based nosql db.

Yeah it's a reasonable point of view. The other way to go on that is you're in an country whose culture you don't understand which as a wildly corrupt, crony-riddled military dictator and nobody has any rights at all.

Do you want locally bottled Coke(tm) with the red label and dynamic ribbon for your very thirsty child or locally bottled "Odin's Thirst Quencher! (est. 2021)"?

Coke are going to enforce quality control and safety to protect their brand or get out of that market. There is no regulation you can rely on in this mythical country - but there are quite a few countries like that which you may know yourself from having visited them. In France, say, you have regulation that safety is not a concern. When you don't have it you have brands - the owner has the incentive to protect them. So it goes also in France, or the USA or other wealthy countries to the parts of commerce that are not regulated (whether they could be or whether that's because it's not feasible).

But the higher issue is information. Should you be able to sell the same product with a very different quality under the same name? Let's say we agree the answer is ideally "no, you can't do that." Now we want to regulate that you can't do that. How is it enforced? There may be ways. There may be grey areas. The cost may be prohibitive in many instances or there might be new solutions to mitigate those problems.

What is isn't is easy which you can see as soon as you apply it to the industry and case under discussion. Intensive industry training schools.

Im curious what you anticipate the longevity of your app to be? Lots of things are possible. My last company has a fairly critical Angular 1 app from early 2010s. Guess what, it works! It’s ~9 years later and going strong. It has a big enough team to keep the lights on, and only now is it probably reaching a serious inflection point.

But IMO if I had to do it again and cared about longevity I’d avoid a framework. I would probably also avoid JavaScript, and maybe even putting much complexity in the web tier. Instead I’d probably find a way to get my business logic in a CLI and make any clients fairly disposable.
Given that the trove of FB documents repeatedly talk about concern of loss of engagement among the youth, the conventional wisdom of 2005 that FB has an inherent lifespan because no one wants to be on a social network with their parents, seems to be playing out.

Sure the "three year" timespan is dumb. FB grew way beyond fad, but the predicted generational dynamics didn't magically go away. In fact, it seems like that hypothesis is playing out. What the real question is, can FB buy another hot social network, before they lose both money and skill.

I think Facebook's stated goal is at odds with the way the platform presents itself and how people use it.

Facebook should be a great way to connect with people new and old and keep in touch with other people's lives and maybe plan real life events. But Facebook's home page is a newsfeed that rarely shows you posts from friends that you care about and you have to go out of your way to make use of the platform's better features. Also, since most people don't unfriend/unfollow old connections, as time goes on, Facebook's utility naturally goes down.

It's not popular because it's illogical in the face of all evidence. The highest incarceration rate in the world over several decades and seemingly endless funding for anti-drug efforts failed in every respect (but ruined countless lives in the process).
Yeah - I suspect they may be lying to themselves first.

It’s also possible they rationalize it in some way that they’re “protecting their employees” from the bad news. In practice people like to be clued in to the truth and are more likely to respond positively to honesty in my experience.

There seem to be several methods employed for use in a location tracking campaign by various entities. Some entities might not be able to get the approval for the real-time data, and others might have much better relationships and tools. I have found this EFF article(linked, try section 3.4 for your question)[0] to be helpful in understanding the possibilities.

It appears to be possible to do quite a bit of location tracking/location verification without any help at all from the telcos. The calls they are referring to seems to mean calling a phone and hanging up quickly. This causes the cell network to issue a high priority RRC paging request (someone is calling you!) which causes your handset to wake up and begin broadcasting to the cell network.

This enables passive eavesdropping and coarse location detection via monitoring the RF lansdcape for TSMI/IMSI collection and correlation. It is then possible to narrow down a large area to the specific cell, ~2km area, from there you can use another beacon or maybe regular direction finding and trilateration to pinpoint a signal. This sounds like an operation which requires 3-5 operators, but I don't know about the procedures.

Some cell network packets contain GPS location and other subscriber data, which could be intercepted and analyzed by this advanced threat.

With the aid of a Cell Site Simulator/Stingray, it seems to be possible to use this method to sense the handset and then use the CSS to hijack a handset's tower association turning coarse location data into a normal MITM. There are many other location sensing techniques such as a GSM Tripwire device or packet analysis.

Interesting stuff. The cell phones are rather evil.

Two thoughts:

1. The instruction set isn't so much a performance thing as much as a thing that bites you with power usage (you need to have a big fat decoder on all the time in the worst case). The widest X86's can only dispatch 75% of the instruction per cycle but X86 instructions can do more, so you'd have to check a specific benchmark.

2. I want X86 to die more because it's fucking ugly than performance as per se. ARM is not a simple ISA, so although you won't be writing a disassembler in 10 minutes like RISC-V, aarch64 is still much less insane than X86 with all the extensions.
I do have a relatively prolific online prescence, with some blog posts that do precisely that; they're quite fun to write! Contributing to open source is also a great idea.

I don't feel frustrated, I feel relieved, actually. My vague sense of idealism is no more. I'm amazed that I opened this thread and received so much valuable and candid advice. I can now refocus and move forward. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

When I viewed Figure 5 [link] at full resolution, the pine tree bark felt to me like a poorly-done bump-mapping tech demo. I think it lacks sharp contrast between the raised and recessed regions (instead having a gradient), and I think the outline/silhouette of the branches are perfectly smooth and unaffected by the bark, and too uniform and slender to look like real trees.

There were quite a few programs that synced iTunes playlists to non-Apple phones. This supports your assertion that people were dependent on iTunes for library management, but not that there was lock-in to Apple hardware. I feel that it was the seamless ease of iTunes/iPod/iPhone that won, rather than a hard moat.

We've done a lot of testing it doesn't get close to 15W of power, and also never trips the low voltage warning with the variety of 15W supplies I've used. We are including a 17.5W power supply with all boards to give it a little extra margin, just in case.
Damn, I wish my engineering journal had drawings like that in it.
I'm not totally convinced that'll happen in the desktop space. Embedded, I completely buy it, but I have read fairly convincing arguments that ARM might be a better ISA for really high-performance architectures. RISC-V also seems to value compressed instructions far too much, so we could see a high-performance fork of RISC-V?
I sympathize, but these drugs are already as prohibited as they're going to get. Possession, manufacture and distribution are punished by years and years of prison time. It doesn't make a difference.
>Of course any kind of serious work on an electrical drive train is going to need an electrical engineer.

There's a certain bias here towards indiscriminate use of the title Engineer. The title, when combined with the prefix Electrical implies actual professional licensure by the State.

These are very skilled people, who I wouldn't let anywhere near an actual repair environment. You really want an electronics Technician, who actually knows how things work in the real world. Engineers quite often are "book smart", and as long as they are in their specialty, quite valuable folks. Left to their own devices, on the other hand, they tend to be surprised when things blow up because they didn't understand that red wires are positive. (I saw it happen)

Any new technology has new hazards. I can imagine that quite a few buildings were blown up or set ablaze when automobiles and gasoline fumes combined with open fires for heating. Over time, people figure it out.

Quite a few people have been dealing with the combination of high current and high voltage for decades, ham radio operators, the also had the hazard of high frequency RF which does odd things, and yet most of them survived. ;-)
Sure, innocent until proven guilty.

But this is Google. They have trillions of $ worth of spin and this will probably settle out of court. Guilty/innocent isn't relevant in the case of Google, Facebook, Amazon etc. They operate above the law and we end up with disastrous results. They own the politicians and can stretch the court system past its breaking point.

So I don't know if they're at fault. But I remember Google from 20 years ago who was the ONLY company that didn't manipulate search results. A company that actually believed in "don't be evil". This isn't that company and hasn't been that company for about a decade.

Yes, we're adults and can take that article with that huge grain of salt. But we should open our eyes and look at Google as it truly is today. Not with the lens of what it was as a young startup.
I remember companies giving out CDs at trade shows all the way up to the mid 2000s. There were even cool branded CDs with funky corporate logos on them.

It looks like they built a system where cloud servers can push new software to the avionics systems of flying aircraft. I predict that criminals will use that capability to perform ransomware attacks. They will demand payment and threaten to murder passengers and crew by pushing software that causes aircraft to crash.

Safety-critical software should not get remote updates. Software should load from a read-only device. Crew should be able to switch software versions in seconds, ideally by physically connecting a drive with the desired software version.
Am I wrong to think that pouchdb uses indexeddb?

Over the last 8 months, I've been working on a react/capacitor based android app (potentially ios later on) and was originally using idb-keyval, which uses indexeddb for key val storage, and things were great since it's a local storage solution compatible with react/capacitor, and one of my goals is to not rely on a remote data storage solution.

As said, things were going great, but then a couple weeks ago things went to shit when all the data that was stored in the prototype on my android device was wiped. Apparently, both android and ios tend to wipe browser/web-view local storage at random/when space is needed(?).

Dug around since looking for an alternative solution (would love a capacitor compatible mongodb solution), came across pouchdb via rxdb, but could've sworn there was mention that it relies on indexeddb. So just to be safe switched to sqlite and been rewriting components since.

Lesson of the story, even if it isn't dependent on indexeddb, if you're looking for a local storage option for a mobile app and happen to be using a js framework with capacitor or anything that utilizes a web-view, stay away from anything that uses indexeddb. If a wipe like this were to happen post release, the chance that your app succeeds afterwards would be near 0%

Edit: so yeah, just double checked/was reading through the readme of this project, and pouchdb via rxdb is reliant on indexeddb
Like most veggies sold in grocery stories in the US, the varieties are engineered to line up with the supply chain needs. Tastier heirloom tomatoes tend to not do as well in transport, or don't last as long on the shelf, or whatever other reason.

As is already suggested, the good US tomatoes and fruit in general can be found at farmer's markets, local farms, and/or local grocery stores that have relationships with local farmers. Also, a lot of smaller local farms that grow tastier veggies tend to supply to locally sourced farm-to-table type restaurants directly instead of selling them in stores,

My parents get their tomatoes from a local hydroponics farm that only sells straight from the farm (in the middle of nowhere), and in bulk to local restaurants.
