As much as I am not a FB fan, I give Zucc credit for dedicating an entire keynote to his vision of the future. What are all the other tech companies' visions for the future? Who knows! They never talk about the future. Apple almost never talks about anything more than a month away. Their vision of the future? Looks like it's probably: a brand new phone, similar to and released precisely one year after the previous one... forever and ever. What's Amazon's vision of the future? Continue N% YoY growth for online shopping and cloud...forever. Google's? Ads on moar surfaces...forever?

Zucc said this is our future vision for end users, here's what and why. Whether or not you like the idea or company, at least he stuck his neck out and articulated it.
You can change the name, you can change the products, you can change the vision, hell, you can even change the CEO.

But until you change the business model, it's just shuffling deck chairs on a ship we're now, sadly, almost all passengers on.
The EU's SEPA Instant Credit transfer is another example as is the UK Faster Payments network.

On the flip side if you need an example of stifiled innovation with no near future improvements on the horizon, just look at Canada's pathetic excuse of a banking system.
The patch changed the design of the system. They obviously didn't forsee the flaw in their system but it's not like someone found a buffer overflow - they only used the levers and buttons that the system provided them to perform this 'attack'.
> Conversely, other people are annoyed with "selfish" people forcing what could otherwise be a productive in-person meeting to now need to include one person dialed in over zoom, perhaps without a video feed.

And that is why you should seek remote only companies if possible. Add in asynchronous work culture. Let the "productive" people waste their time in video meetings.
Additionally, after further review, I know that birds aren't real, if I need to charge my iphone quickly I can do so in the microwave, smoking isn't harmful and climate change isn't real.
> The metaverse will be a collective project that goes beyond a single company. It will be created by people all over the world, and open to everyone.

I'm pretty sure this literally just means "it'll have apps"

So it's "created by people all over the world, and open to everyone" in the same way iOS is. Sounds like a great replacement for reality
I don't think it takes great leadership to maintain hold of their search and youtube monopolies. In cloud, GCP is getting beat by AWS and Azure. But Google's main failure is their complete inability to innovate new products over the last decade.
I did just that when using capacitor (pointed it to my dist folder, good to go). What other steps do you think capacitor requires that PWA builder doesn't?
And I'm guessing pretty much any new dorm built today will have central air in any case.

My initial reaction was pretty negative and not sure how I'd feel about the overall size and the lack of windows in rooms. On the other hand, in a lot of designs even if you have a window it's often facing a wall.

However, I actually favor optimizing for the common space. I liked that kind of design. And the rooms being discussed here don't seem much if any smaller than the smaller singles I remember.
I'm curious - reading this makes me depressed at how stupid HN and reactionary HN seems to have become.

Do people not realize that in California we build residential buildings that are MANY MANY stories tall.

The LACK of operable windows in a bedroom is generally a REQUIREMENT on a skyscraper / residential condo tower for safety reasons. They worry about kids falling out etc.

The safety plans involve other measures - including much better building codes around fire control (ie, sprinklers). Fire hardened emergency exists (ie, these students may be moving out of historic all wood tinderboxes if my old CA school is any indication).

The point is that there is a full version of PowerPoint for OSX but not for iOS.

Keynote is not a good exemple because Apple could release a full version for iOS if they wanted but nobody uses Keynote anyway while PowerPoint and Excel are unavoidable for a lot of professionals.
Google implemented PWA support years ago into both Android and Chrome, including web push notifications. Apple is the only one that purposely doesn't implement necessary features for PWAs like web push notifications.

Welsh is a completely different language, with its own writing system.

I used to practice law, so the process is a little more natural for me. Summary:

1. I read the terms of service that I originally agreed to. Found a requirement to first negotiate any dispute with their general counsel in good faith. So I wrote to them explaining that I declined the change in ToS terms, and asked for a refund of everything I'd purchased in connection with the headset, plus the dollar amount that it added up to. Sent by registered mail. Waited a few months, got no response. This was summer 2020.

2. Filed a support ticket basically saying the same thing. I got very prompt responses but of course they were templates -- sorry, 30-day return window has expired, please create FB account, etc.

3. Drafted up the small-claims complaint. This is actually a very easy and short form in California.

4. Sent a courtesy copy of the complaint to Oculus general counsel. This can sometimes get their attention and resolve things right away without involving the courts. No response.

5. Filed the complaint, then served Oculus/FB at their Sacramento address for their registered agent for service of process. This cost something like $100 (filing + service).

6. Got a summer 2021 court date.

7. Sent them another courtesy reminder that the court date was approaching and asked to resolve before trial.

8. In the late spring of 2021 got some activity on the support ticket saying sorry for the delay, please dismiss the case, we'll send you the $$$ plus a box to ship back the goggles.

9. I accepted their offer, shipped the stuff back, got the $$$, and filed a dismissal of the case.

Total wall clock time > 1 year. Actual human time on the case probably 5 hours. Out of pocket expenses about $100, which I added to the settlement demand, and which they paid. So I ended up back where I started before the Oculus Quest purchase, except for the time I lost writing the court papers and support/legal communications. Which is what I wanted and expected.

As I hope you can tell, I wasn't angry or out for revenge. I just didn't want the FB account requirement, and I especially didn't like that they tried to change the contract terms after we had a deal. It was just a business deal to me, and that takes pretty much all the emotion out of it, which can make many legal cases easier to resolve.

This is fascinating, but for people who already have a medical history of ITP, it might be a bad idea, as this drug has known anti-platelet activity. Good for "normal" people to avoid blood clots, but bad for ITP people who are trying to keep from losing platelets.
It was started by a famous paper from Ludwig Prandtl, in ?1920?. The math is easy, if vortex-shedding is removed, and our wing has infinite span. Nobody realizes that an infinite wing is permanently trapped in ground-effect mode, and only works by instant ground-forces, just like a venturi. Just like those snow-speeders from Star Wars.

Other Prandtl papers analyze short, non-infinite wings. But they avoid all the insoluable equations by having the wing fly at infinite velocity! This way, no air moves downwards on average. Prandtl forgets that if the tip-vortices don't move downwards, then also the vortex-shedding goes to zero, and the tip-vortices vanish! By flying at infinite velocity, then pretending that tip-vortices are still created, Prandtl is "searching for car-keys under bright streetlights, where the job is easier" when the actual explanation of lifting force is still hidden elsewhere, out in the darkness.

Heh, another of Prandtl's papers rigorously described the equal-transit-time theory, giving us diagrams, and including it as the explanation for lifting-force. Yet nobody could contradict the Great Prandtl, since his papers were huge walls of interlocking equations, which were all correct. Only his initial assumptions were wrong, and it took about seven decades before physics teachers started seeing the problem.

Yes, but why should people who are calling for studies to be done get censored? Scientists who are talking about interesting possibilities that _should_be_studied_ should not get their content taken down.
I guess I'm just not sure how that's different from trusting banks on the basis that they have auditing and reporting requirements, governance regimes, and legal oversight.

I understand the practical argument (code is easier to audit and more reliable), I'm just not sure how the sum total of the ecosystem is better when, as a practical matter, crappy smart contracts keep losing depositors' money, and depositors keep trusting the wrong contracts.

Oh, I was meaning for multi-family dwellings. I haven't seen them in single family homes either, though it is interesting that requirements are starting to increase there too.

TBH, I just wish there were stricter rules for smoke detectors and equipment in garages. I feel like this is a big gap with the current rules, at least in my state.
One really interesting case is the use of the English pronoun "she" to refer to ships (and sometimes countries). This is a rare situation in which English nouns for inanimate objects can still have gender.

This usage seems to be in decline, though, and is sometimes seen as sexist. But it's still used, e.g., by the National Parks Service:

> Construction began in 1794 and [the USS] Constitution launched on October 21, 1797. She went on her first cruise the next year as the Quasi-War with France emerged. Later she served in engagements with pirates off the Barbary coast in the Mediterranean. [...] She earned the nickname "Old Ironsides" because the cannon fire from enemy ships seemed as if they couldn't penetrate her strong oak hull.

(Edit: clarified)
Right, but my point is that the PC is kinda niche, itself, as a consumer product. "The next PC" is a very different prospect—and far more B2B—than "the next smartphone". It could still be pretty big, but it's always seemed to me like a weird place for Facebook, especially, to be investing. Best-case you also become "the next video game console", but consoles (+TVs) are so much more (locally, IRL) social than PCs that I wouldn't bet on that working out. Worst-case, companies focusing more on AR also crack the problem of making their glasses function for VR, and you can throw all your VR-only hardware investment in the trash (though some of the software would be salvageable, I assume).
I've sold to several multi-billion dollar orgs with a product that had no certifications, no formal pen testing, etc.

In my experience selling to the enterprise things like SOC2 and ISO270001 simplify and reduce friction in the sales process, but they're often not showstoppers.

When you pitch your product to your business sponsor, they're buying based on the value you deliver, a trust in you as a seller, and a conviction that the product will solve their problem. And then once they start to involve IT and procurement and security, then all of a sudden the focus shifts away from value and towards risk and cost management.

By having SOC2, a rock solid pen test report, ISO270001, etc. you can fast-track a ton of these processes. But otherwise, as you note, they'll throw big Excel sheets at you with questions for which many of your answers will likely be "No".

Answering "no" on questionnaires is not a showstopper. Your response on financial questionnaires will most definitely raise business continuity red flags. Your response to the security questionnaire will definitely raise data security red flags. But ultimately these questionnaires are an effort to get a full picture of the risk profile of working with you, not a test where you need to score 100/100.

So in your case, your focus needs to be on the business sponsor. They will be presented the risks from your security and financial reviews, but if you have adequately articulated the value of your product, presented an aura of business stability and growth, operated from a customer-focused mindset, then they will have the conviction to accept the risks presented by the other teams.

And sure, sometimes one of your answers will be a showstopper. So then it's up to you to look into whether you commit to fixing that showstopper as part of the contract. One of my contracts required us to get ISO270001 certification within 2 years - but we were still able to close the contract.

We closed a contact for a business critical system with one of the top 50 companies in the world, who demanded a financial review when we had months of runway.

There's always a path.

This is just because Apple never talks about future things, but they certainly have a picture internally. Plenty of reporting supports the existence of AI/VR glasses of some sort and a car of some sort being designed within Apple.
Well, you're kind of missing the economy of scale. If it ever became more popular, I'm sure the price would drop.

I respectfully disagree. There is a huge shift in worldview and mindset between someone born in 1975 and someone born in 1980. The former essentially grew up before the interconnected world was a thing. The latter had it come in when they were in their formative early teens. My partner and I are on either side of this divide, and the the effects, while subtle, are significant.

>Having building controlled heat/cooling is definitely not ideal

This is going to be a bigger issue than you might think at first. No windows means that if you're too hot you can't open the window to let in cool and fresh air. You're stuck with whatever the building decides on.
This is a key factor: bringing the phone to your face is the confirmatory action that validates that you intend to use the device. Its narrow field of view means the authentication only works in deliberate scenarios.

Meanwhile the laptop is usually just sitting there, so switching to faceid will require some confirmatory action by the user, that’s adding a step which isn’t currently there.

Other scenarios come to mind: say someone else is using your computer and faceid is doing its thing. Or what about the creep factor: plenty of people put privacy covers on their laptop’s camera but not their phone. I’m sure this type of person might be a bit put off by the idea of not being able to cover it.

I think a lot of the curiosity about faceid’s absence on laptops would disappear if people tested it for themselves.

Does that matter? No! It was a study commissioned by an organization I don't trust anymore because they lost that trust.

But even if I did trust these scientists before, I don't know that they decided to put a political statement in a scientific study. The only agenda scientists should have is truth.
So what kind of security does this have? The article doesn't mention the term.
Lying about percentage needed to reach herd immunity?! I’m not actually familiar with the claims this is directed at, but due to the changing circumstance with more transmissible variants and not even 100% of data on the original, it’s hard to take a comment like that seriously. Being incorrect or becoming no longer correct due to changed circumstances doesn’t make a claim a lie or the person making it a liar.

These public health “experts” didn’t even try. They basically treated covid like it was the Black Plague for everybody, when that is far from the truth. The truth is covid is a risk for a very specific set of the population.

They made very little (no?) mention of how most people recover just fine. No mention of how stratified the risks are based on age. No mention about how it goes after the obese. None of that. Instead they just focused on scaring the shit out of everybody so bad I think many will suffer from PTSD.

These health “experts” failed horribly at communicating the basic facts about covid.
Do you understand how how housing selection works ?

There is zero requirement to live in their housing. So what the hell are you going to sue them over?

There is a shortage of on-campus housing - do you understand that? That is what this project is trying to solve for in part.

If you live off campus - go for it! In fact, even if you WANT to live on campus you'll have to enter a lottery after year 1, they only usually can prioritize first year students. So trust me, if you don't like this housing, no one is going to make you pay for it, and they'll be happy to have you out.

This type of housing really works for folks who like working with others, getting along with others, making friends. And as someone who didn't get a single until senior year, being able to get it on without having folks walking through or in room will be seen as a MAJOR positive by students.
My approach is to type the “limit conditions” first, then go to the start of the line and do as you say (predicate the command with the comment string). So in the case of sql it might be something like starting with:

WHERE foo=bar LIMIT 1;

Then ctrl-a, and fill in the rest:

—- UPDATE name=“new name” WHERE foo=bar LIMIT 1;

Then take a moment, read over what I typed, and hit ctrl-a again and remove the comment string.

Ideally I’m doing this in an editor (not the db shell) as well, and when I’m done pass the saved file in on the commandline. I try to type as little as possible in the db shell unless I’m logged in as a read only user.

I also set my db shell to display the current username and database so it’s always right in front of me. And I never, ever use command history in shells to construct new commands. I swear that bit me more frequently than I got it right when I used to. It’s like a footgun with an extra footgun attachment.
