Minecraft is great but to my knowledge you can't make a portal in one Minecraft world to another world, you can't take an object from one Minecraft world to another world, and you can't transit from one simulation to another simulation (all Minecraft worlds run the same simulation: the Minecraft simulation). It's not really a metaverse in that it's not one connected uncoordinated space, it's many separate, instanced spaces. But it does at least let you run your own space. Valheim is more metaverse than minecraft is since you can gather resources in one Valheim server and take them to another, but there's no real security on that and there's no public history so it's not really stable; there's no notion of what's "real". Although I do agree with the framing that something being a metaverse has little to do with head-mounted displays.
Since when has SV startup culture relied on the whims of the market to generate their profit? I believe Zillows end game is to become the market. Once the scale is large enough, it's no longer an issue. hey just mistimed it or had some other unforeseen issues in this case.
Yeah, even things like gather.town people have said worked well for things like happy hours for teams working remotely. Having some virtual equivalent of physical space helps people socialize more naturally.

With Google Search, your Ad dominance is tightly coupled to the effectiveness of the search engine. The actual effectiveness nowadays of Google Search as a finder of information is secondary to the brand recognition and that everyone reaches for it. Separating those two interests keeps the incentives aligned. Google search has been made strictly worse through the tight integration of the advertising functionality. The other issue with Google is the tendency to acquire and kill potential competitors. This inhibits a truly competitive marketplace. Yes, denormalization of market task introduces inefficiency in resource consumption, but increases systemic resilience and overall opportunity for gainful employment. It also creates career mobility, and prevents issues created by non-competes which have been well known to cripple or otherwise hobble skilled employees in rather small or highly consolidated industrial verticals.

YouTube? Society gains by not having a company ultimately accountable to the same exact people. The virtue of the Free Market is that regression to the mean makes sure the system remains healthy since you've got a larger sampling of capital allocators. When you start seeing the same faces over and over again leading most of the big names in Tech when you track the actual corporate hierarchy, you have a problem. We're also coming out of a period of huge pushing into n young people to get a college education to prepare them for dealing with non-trivial issues of balancing the nuances of a healthy business through whatever specialized vertical they have. You don't need more consolidation. That's the opposite of what you want unless you are literally trying to get entrepreneurial talent to pursue other directions; a task made more difficult by hyperoptimization contagion created by having to compete with overly consolidated market actors.

Spinning off WhatsApp and Instagram rips out large chunks of social graph from Facebook, or would if you enforced the split up to include a cleansing of their dataset of any data acquired through those acquisitions. To be clear, I am not a nice understanding trust buster. If you've attracted my attention to the point these companies have, this will hurt. I don't care how impractical or unfair it seems.

I've thought about this for quite a long time actually. Impractically so. It's not exactly something anyone ever comes and asks you about though.

I kinda wish more people would. Older I get the more fascinating these types of dynamic systems are to think through.
You cannot have both an organization that fastidiously protects the privacy and security of user data, and one that requires no process to build and launch software. It's just not possible.

Anyway the video is just a joke. I've never worked anywhere where it was as easy to just serve 5TB of static data as at Google. Googlers who want to just host junk under their own authority do not need to shop for quota, set up borgmon, etc.

Heh.... UK = England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland.

None of these accents sound remotely alike. Back to the drawing board with this methinks.

> So a posh southern English accent would be the same category as a northern one?

I'm more amused that you think southern England is the posh part :-) Though on a more serious note, we use shorter vowel sounds in the north (in the north we say 'bath', southerners say 'baarth') which can make us harder to understand to those whom English isn't a first language.

Making landlords take all the risk individually also means that the market will reward those with increased risk tolerance, i.e. small landlords suffer and exit the market in favor of big landlords.
Whole plant foods with plenty of living greens, my friends. We can do it!
all Roblox games run on servers owned by the Roblox corporation so not really. Minecraft is totally federated, anyone can create their own Minecraft server if they want to. Roblox doesn't release the server software and doesn't let you run your own server, so you can never really own your own space; they own all of the spaces.
I do something similar but take it a step further and statefully track the progress of the workflow. The code generates a file that is like a TODO list, and a separate command runs a single step before marking it complete. Great for longer running workflows (days).
Currently it's not possible to use REST backend - direct database connection is required for motor admin to build internal rest json-api on top of the database to power the admin UI.

My concern is that with REST backend it would become a much complex tool and will make it harder to build an admin panel - Retool does a good job building internal tools with visual builders and connecting APIs - but that definitively takes more time to build admin panel with it than with Motor Admin.
I think MLS would like to give you that impression. They seem to function as a cartel of some sort. (At least I have never understood their purpose.)
Internal.io does something similar and supports SQL Server (as well as MySql, Postgres, Snowflake, DynamoDB, MongoDB and more..).
It's a bit more like Retool with the visual builder but easier to use without code. Comparison vid with Retool here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GgBnbHF8Rg

Full disclosure: I currently work for Internal but if you have any questions on our platform let me know!

I'm not quite sure I understand the difference here, but I may be misunderstanding why a tax on the buildings and a tax on the land is different? Are you saying a tax based on rental prices? Otherwise I would assume any cost to the landlord would eventually get passed on to the tenet, being the source of revenue.
> That doesn't mean that these restrictions should be dependent on entirely subjective things like thoughts and feelings.

That doesn't necessarily mean that restrictions should be dependent on entirely subjective things.

Subjectivity alone is not sufficient cause to refuse considering whether the benefits of a proposed legal restriction on behavior outweigh the drawbacks. Subjectivity is a drawback, not a deal-breaker, and must be evaluated in full context alongside the benefits of the proposal. Subjectivity is a serious concern, and should never be glossed over or minimized in such evaluations. Subjectivity carries great risk, and should be revisited and reevaluated over time to ensure that the outcomes are considered against the intentions.

From the Wikipedia link (above) - "The seamount that San Francisco struck did not appear on the chart in use at the time of the accident... The Navy determined that information regarding the seamount should have been transferred to the charts in use—particularly given the relatively uncharted nature of the ocean area that was being transited—and that the failure to do so represented a breach of proper procedures... ...charts did not contain the latest data relevant to the crash site because the geographical area was not a priority for the Defense Mapping Agency."

Wikipedia cites as references:

(The latter cites several sources in turn.)

I read that before, and the thing that stuck out to me the most was the need for humongous virtual displays to make the pixel density of the display match that of the HMD.

I'll be honest, I would have trouble doing that. A lot of head movement and aliased fonts - aren't things I'll give up my monitor for.
You can type whatever you want as a tag, although I've never actually seen someone do this.

I bought a T470 used, replaced RAM, SSD, display, battery, and now I’ve got 16GB DDR4-3200 RAM, 2TB NVMe SSD, a 1080p 400 nits 105% sRGB display, and over 20h battery life in performance mode. For 460€.

I put some of the old parts together with some old desktop SSD in my old E540 and gave it my gf, who previously used an x220 with upgraded SSD and RAM. The E540 already has a new display, too.

I do replace and change and upgrade all these parts to be able to use a cheap laptop over many years, just like I do with a desktop.
I feel that I should point out that there are deep-divers who are nice to people. I've worked with them.

> The problem I see is that someone will inevitably update the procedure (or make a change that unknowingly requires a change in the procedure) and not update the script

why would your procedure be to do anything _other_ than "run script foo and do what it says"? If your procedure is not that, then your procedure doesn't reflect reality, and thus is outdated documentation that needs to be updated.

if the steps of the procedure only exist within the script then there's only one place to update it. And yes, this suggests the script should be very readable.

Well, one strategy would be to preemptively rebut common misrepresentations and meaningless critiques, I do agree scientists could benefit from this technique. And if it's just misinformation with no merit, use Hitchen's Razor.

However, established science has been wrong before about things there was a consensus on. We should investigate evidence that casts doubt on consensus if there is some merit, even if it is painstaking. It's one of the less sexy and tedious aspects of science, nevertheless important.

TV is relaxing. I can turn my brain off and don't need to do anything. The metaverse is just a fancy videogame that big tech companies need to invent so they can monetize another platform and sell more HW.

I agree.

I'm not sure what this author is talking about with tmux + mosh and adding the latency back in. Maybe because I run the tmux on the remote server and I mosh in. I don't miss native windowing or mouse controls at all, and still have scrollback. I modified the keybindings so it is easier for me (as a vim user) to remember -- including window splits, layout changes, and adjusting pane sizes.

I don't just use mosh in high latency, low bandwidth. The fact that mosh will reconnect even after I close the laptop (and put it in suspension), move from wifi network to cell and back, it's all fairly seamless. That makes it practical for my primary dev and ops environment on a remote server. I have had this setup for about 5 years now and use it every day.

I used to use something like autossh, and it did not work as well.

Undecidability, Uncomputability, and Unpredictability (2020)
This is a real problem. If we don't come up with one single correct way to pronounce every single word, English will fork into multiple different languages.

This has happened - English at the core is based on German (an old German not spoken anymore - and one we probably can't reconstruct), but the French and other influences over the years mean few can find anything in common with German (which has gone a different way). I could also point out Spanish/Italian, or Swedish/Danish. I have no doubt that you can find the same in Africa and Asia, but I don't know enough about their languages to comment.

While we are at it, can we reform English spelling to make sense?
If Fedora was rolling release, it would be a candidate for my daily driver.
I've been using Ubuntu since 2005. Most of this time on Thinkpads. My last laptop is the 9th gen X1, and the microphone does not work on the latest Ubuntu (not LTS, but still a very basic function). On a whim I tried a live Fedora On Fedora it just worked. This makes me wonder if it's time to change distro after so many years. I always kept to Ubuntu as a switch would slow me down while I learn where everything is but it seems like that barrier is lower these days....
> The Eloquent Peasant

The Eloquent Peasant is a fascinating little work. For those who aren't familiar with it, it's the story of a peasant who owns a donkey. There's a farmer alongside the road who has allowed his crops to grow right up to the path, knowing that passing draft animals will occasionally eat his crops. This allows him to take the owners of the animals to court, including the peasant in the story.

But when the peasant arrives in court, he speaks with great eloquence. The judge is so impressed that he decides to drag out the trial to hear more of these speeches. He sends off a note to someone important (the pharaoh or the governor or someone), saying, "Hey, you need to hear this guy!"

The peasant, assuming the court is corrupt, gives another speech about the importance of honest courts. And so it continues, with the peasant holding forth on justice and government.

It's a brilliantly subversive little tale. The core of it is political rhetoric. The "framing story" is an amusing tale about a peasant with a donkey. And the officials in the story are secretly delighted by the peasant's eloquent speeches about good government. It's a way to discuss politics without making the pharaoh look bad, basically.

By ancient standards, it's pretty remarkable. The framing tale and the subtle subversion feel more modern than other works from that era. But as the parent post suggested, it would probably work best told as a tale by someone who could switch between the humor and politics.

At current minimum wage, saving 20k will take years and years. Most non-tech folks just do not earn enough to save. It's not that they don't want to, or choose not to. It's that they don't have disposible income.

5% is certainly better than 20%, but when you don't have the money, even 1% deposit is too much.
Who said something needs to be federated for it to be the metaverse? That's nowhere in the definition.

I'd argue that scifi examples (like Ready Player One) show that it can be proprietary.

I'm not saying it's good to be controlled by one org. Just that the number of orgs controlling the infra has nothing to do with being the metaverse or not.
And also, I'm sure the goalposts have moved a lot in the 3-5 years since this feature was announced.

At the time, facial recognition was almost sci-fi levels of absurd to envision, especially at scale. Nowadays, anyone can do their own facial recognition on laptop-level GPUs from freely-available open source software and every site that can use it, probably does use it in some form.

It's a lot more normalized now than it was.

> The way the last administration rolled this out was certainly with a political narrative, but my guess is it originated with people that weren't thinking at all about politics.

During the last administration there were multiple reports of Huawei hardware containing backdoors, which were originally criticized by the mass media; a Bloomberg piece comes to mind. I don’t think that the political nature of the initiative has changed at all. It has always been about national security.
I don't think institutionally-owned SFH rentals are viable in the long term.

Apartment complexes make sense as rentals because there's a great deal of efficiencies vis-a-vis property maintenance & management. Plus the added benefit of greatly reduced property taxes per unit. The downside is that they don't appreciate as quickly as other real estate can.

SFHs make a lot of sense for small-time landlords because they can be bought up in increments. But even small-time landlords pretty quickly realize the value in multi-tenant rentals and move to acquire more of them.

Blackrock, et al, will hold onto these so long as they continue to appreciate at double-digit rates. But after a few years of inflation-level appreciation, they will begin to dump these as their profits tumble due to the inherent inefficiencies of SFHs.
