> If the streaming wars do too much damage to consumers, they'll just flip the playing board and go back to piracy.

I think that's already happening among the tech literate. The difference now is that the majority of consumers are not technically inclined and don't mind paying for several streaming services to get easy access to their favorite content, so the industry generally doesn't care about losing a small fraction to piracy.

Pirating content is now more technically difficult than paying for a service, but the benefits are still there: DRM-free content that can be consumed on any device, accessed offline, safe against removal, licensing issues, region locks, easily shareable, etc.

Paying for a streaming service now has the same issues as paying for cable did: you get access to tons of low quality content you don't care about just to watch the few shows and movies you actually do. Content curation is still an unsolved problem and the industry is ripe for disruption once someone figures out what I actually want to watch and how I can pay for only that.

Or pirating will become easier and they'll continue to lose revenue.

If you ever need a dose of reality, go see (google) some of Nikolai Getman's paintings of the life of prisoners in the Gulag which he had to paint in secret after being imprisoned for 8 years.
Right. Someone comes in to bribe you, you take their money, you go vote against them anyway. Then when they come to you to object, you can shrug and say it must have been someone else. There is no way to for them to verify that their bribe is having the intended effect, so they'd have to pay you on faith. And who is going to trust a politician who is accepting bribes? They could be taking them from both sides!
Almarai, probably still the largest milk producer in the world with its main production facilities in Saudi Arabia, simply turned off the air conditioning in the right place at the right time, and the cattle herded freely to where it wanted to.
Coincidentally, exactly where the herders also wanted them to go.

Impressive.

> and even lets you link to native libraries.

I'd be interested to learn more about this. My experience with qemu's usermode emulation is it only wraps syscalls and some ioctls. So you need a complete userland in the target arch.

In particular, it doesn't really wrap any DRM interfaces very well/thoroughly (as of when I tried), so you couldn't get 3D hardware acceleration working.

box64 bypasses this problem by just wrapping the native mesa libraries, avoiding opening that can of ioctl worms.

(To my knowledge WoW is the same in that it doesn't emulate the entire userland stack up to the syscall layer but can wrap calls to DLLs to native ones, not unlime the Hangover project does for x86 wine on Aarch64/ppc64le Linux)
Despite all the algorithms we employed, the concept of a manual trade never went away. Also, when the front-end was taken out of the equation, the latencies were in the microsecond range. 50ms would be excruciatingly slow for an algorithm.

Except they aren't rubber dome switches, the rubber is just part of the spring mechanism while the switching itself uses capacitive sensing.

Similarly, infamous Hall effect switches, as well as the similarly rare optical switches, don't use mechanical component for switching itself... Rubber dome switches, however, technically do (switching happens when the keys cause physical hit on the membranes)

> I'm pretty sure adding $300,000 in salary to manage a $300/mo hosting bill isn't the best idea...

$300/month would be one bill from the total cost of operating a service. Just because that bill is relatively low, that does not take away from the value provided by the service.

Let's put it the other way around: would it suddenly become a good idea to hire a bunch of engineers to manage the exact same service if the hosting service decided to bump up it's cost?

I don't, but that's mostly just a reflection of the fact that I barely drink at all. Not that I'm a teetotaler or anything - I just don't drink much. I keep a collection of whiskeys and some mixing stuff on a shelf in the kitchen, but the urge to drink is rarely present. Most years (over the last 15 or so) I think if you averaged out my "drinks per month" for the year, the number would round down to zero.

That said, when we were working out of the office, if we went to a group lunch at a restaurant or something, was I opposed to the occasional drink over lunch? No. But would I drink enough to go back to work sloshed? Also no.

Wish I had some advice for you. All I can say is keep experimenting and see what works for you personally.
I'm assuming it, and I'm certain my assumption is right. 99% of people have no idea what encryption is, so there's no way they could care about it. So while I'm not "utterly certain", all anyone would have to do to be as certain as me is go ask, like, five people who aren't engineers about it.
In our system, if the message didn't unpack properly, the application would send a retransmit request with that message's sequence number. But in practice, this scenario never occurred because TCP already did this for us.

There are about a million people with FAANG-tier software/engineering jobs.
I can only speak for Vex V5 (one of the systems they teach) and VRC, but from a competition and user standpoint:

Scratch is used when coding isn't a focus, and mechanical engineering students just want to 'get the job done'.

C++ is used because it's probably the most 'pro' language. Close to bare metal unlike Python, but object oriented and stuff unlike C. C++ is used pretty much any time complex algorithms, threading, etc. are involved during competition.

Recently Vex has been trialing Python in Vexcode, but it's relatively new so they might not have built courses for it yet, if the even plan to.
Incredible to see such a new device in a space where there has been little real invention in 100 years (since the elevator/lift).

I'm interested in the building code implications of this. I assume you can't replace a staircase with this due to fire egress requirements, and at the top you have to have some sort of complex gate (notably not shown in the video) to prevent people from falling off.

Doesn't it trivially have "sum types" since it's just arbitrary self-describing data? i.e. nobody is stopping you from passing around objects in such a way:

{a:1}
{a:{b:2}}
{a:4}
{a:{b:4}}

There's no static type layer over top of this, so it's inherently up to interpretation and whatever type system you want to use to describe this data, to be able to express that the values of `a` can be of type `number | {b: number}`

You might also be absolutely stunned if you ever learned what specific individual sacrifices were made by the people you see as being successful. In most cases, I think, something in the chain is likely to cross into a no fly zone for your own moral compass.
"Subsecond" isn't much of a bar. A second is an eternity.
That's not contradicting though.

One can always choose not to use (native) sumtypes if they are interested in extreme performance or compatibility.

But logically speaking, it is _good_ that it's a restriction that a sumtype can't just turn into a multiple-fields type. Because while my software (as the consumer) might still be able to deserialize it, the assumption that only one field is set would be broken and my logic would now potentially broken. Much better if that happens at deserialization time then later one when I find out that my data is incorrect/corrupt.
Don’t treat it like a linear journey where you have to master the bottom layer to get to the next layer. I find learning rarely works that way. Instead try to motivate yourself with a very small problem to solve that’s a means jumping around the layers.
This matches my impressions of an older GMC (except it didn’t nag about OnStar activation).

That truck had software bugs that’d sometimes run the battery down over night or cause the entire dashboard and onstar voice response system to freak out.

Alarmingly, a powertrain software bug caused it to behave unpredictability in parking lots. The Bolt had the same bug, but it manifested in a more severe way. Search “bolt unexpected acceleration while parking”.

Mine was a base model (only knobs; no touchscreens or even medium resolution displays), though it had rudimentary voice control and internet of some sort.

I don’t plan to buy a GM again, unless they can make one with zero computers for me, or maybe outsource their software development to a competent firm. The fact that they have a self-driving car division terrifies me.
It's of those technologies so obvious, I don't understand why it's new. Often that signals genius or my ignorance:

Why now? Often the answer is, another tech's development enabled this one. Is that the case? They say here only:

> Vertical Walking is a new system to move yourself between floors in a building. By exploiting the potential of the human body and materials, only a fraction of effort is required, compared to taking stairs. No external energy is needed.

Maybe they use a capacitor? When going down, brakes store energy that supplements muscle power when going up? If that's the design, why not do it 20 or 40 years ago?

Perhaps it replaces stairs in constrained footprints, like dense urban housing, where stairs consume high proportions of space.
Did you see that group that recently came together to buy the copy of the constitution? Took 3 days to assemble thousands of people who pooled $40M to make it happen. All their individual contributions we're accounted for and tracked.

DAOs are an order of magnitude easier to assemble and manage than traditional companies. They can buy or trade NFTs by vote done many times per day in hours. And all of the internal processes and governance can be done via software.

> There's no static type layer over top of this

Yeah, that's the problem.
I mean, hey, why json? We could just use unstructured plaintext for everything and now we are free to do everything. But obviously that has its own drawbacks.

Having built-in support for sumtypes means better and more ergonomic support from libraries, it means there is one standard and not different ways to encode things and it also means better performance and tooling.
The difference is that there is no special thing called 'collapse'; when you write down the laws of physics, it doesn't exist. It's an emergent phenomenon, and it's not surprising that it happens, although it's very counterintuitive _if_ you are starting in the naive model of treating quantum waves like classical ones.

There's zero equivocation:

1. If the USA is at fault for something, it's not wiping out everyone else fast enough. You can't imagine how horrible other people are. Their people would revolt if they saw a US grocery store. We don't even after an archive of horrible things they've done to us.

2. If marxists win, they're still going to kill people. Socialism, common welfare, empathy, happiness is only for fools and children with them. Why even live then.

3. They've tried to nuke us many times before, over Norwegian weather satellites because they had dirt on politicians here.

4. Kruschev had an assassination order out on JFK.

5. They are awful awful people. They started numerous horrible wars. Hundreds of millions die. They don't care. We built a horrible weapon that cowered them. We tried to end it. They stole it, keep it alive and give it to the worst people in the world to use.

There are more murderers in USA prisons than drug charges, an alarming number foreign born. If the world would leave us alone, we would have cured death, as in, truly brought humanity to paradise. We did the porcine kidney transplant. We imaged the black hole. No where else to go. marxists in Asia built organ Wal mart, something truly of a dracula novel, that is, when they don't resort to cannibalism out of starvation, but because they like it, like it's some fashion trend. Disgusting.

I'm really getting angry now. I've buried so many people, and I do, I blame the rest of the world for their pain. May the oceans boil. May the sky fall down. May the people of the world choke and die on their own horrific crimes.

This seems too unpowered to be the best option in places with reliable electric power, and for places without reliable electric power, this looks too complex to be reliably repaired without a service infrastructure. And if you have that, you probably have reliable electric power. In short, it looks like a solution looking for a problem.

The problem with math is its cornerstone concept of "one truth" that can be objectively proven based on other absolute truths. This one dogmatic truth, created by whites (here I'm spitting on the floor), completely disregards personal experiences and the fact that some people may want to see the truth differently.

On a serious note, I remember the day a math professor explained the concept of "proof" to me, that was a revelation that fixed my mind. I totally expect that the majority sees math as a sorcery that can be amended to personal needs.

Political rot is inevitable. Small political units (e.g. committees, HOAs) rot into pettiness. Large political units rot into despotism. I would take pettiness as the lesser evil. Also, the human brain was never designed to handle social groups much larger than 100. Perhaps in politics we have traded effectiveness in favor of efficiency. Can one human being truly represent a thousand (or even a million) people?
