> What I really like are thin, low travel laptop keyboards and trackpads instead of mice.

I feel the same way. Oddly enough, one of the best keyboards I have ever used is the Google Pixelbook's. It has truly spoiled my fingers for other keyboards.

One thing that messing around with mechanical keyboards has taught me is that I don't need a full keyboard. Compact TKL's work best for me. The Logitech MX Keys mini has a small enough form factor and comes closest to the Pixelbook's feel.

This is quickly being solved with modular blockchain architectures. If you haven't read about zkrollups yet I suggest looking into that. While still in early stages transaction throughput on Ethereum has scaled from ~13 tx/s to ~2500 tx/s with rollups.

Agree it's an exaggeration, but still seems fascinating - that photons with the right energies go straight through, as if the matter wasn't there?! Does sound quite dark-matter-ish, but as someone else pointed out, the temperatures seem off.

Beria was, without a doubt, a cruel maniac.

Chertok in his books - https://www.nasa.gov/connect/ebooks/rockets_people_vol1_deta... , but the episod is, I think, from volume IV - tells the following story. Soviet space designers are in the beginning of the work on the manned Moon expedition. Korolev and Glushko - two towering figures, the best rocket constructor and best engine constructor of the country - can't find common ground, at all, and have completely deteriorated relationships (mildly speaking). The disagreement is about rocket engines. Discussing this, one rocket scientist (Chertok or Bushuyev) says that if Father of Nation - Stalin - was alive, he'd invited everybody involved, set the deadline, asked how to help - and USSR had engines no worse than in USA. "Great people", wrote Chertok, "aren't saints, and like to show off. If the fear is added and also everything which is needed for design bureaus and manufacturers, they can produce miracles. This Stalin understood and used in full." Regarding Beria, a story said, that Beria invites two disagreeing managers to talk and says, "if two communists can't find an agreement, then one of them is enemy. I don't have time to find out who's who. I give you 24 hours, find the common ground", and it worked.

It's probably very hard to realize what it was to live in those times - especially at the visible positions.

Parlor tricks of the mind and a life of leisure allow for certain mental tools to flourish, rather than be vestigialized.

Eight digit mental multiplication isn't a difficult feat. All it requires is you to be able to hold 16 digits in your head. Or more easily, 4 chunks of 4 digits. If you practice and focus on it, you too can relearn how to do long mental arithmetic. But this also requires you're still able to "relax" and empty your mind like a child's, rather than be constricted into an adult's neurotic "I must always be doing something."

Holding conversations in multiple languages? Many bilingual children could join von Neumann, if their parents were as wealthy and involved. Wealth must be present; not only because physical resources give way to access to better tutors and learning material, but also to a tranquility of the mind and soul, that is not found anywhere else but the leisure class (i.e. if you're an upper middle class parent trying to "push" your child into enriching endeavors, all you're teaching is mechanical skill, at the cost of your child's creativity and individual expression -- their soul. Something I've seen too many times).

This is also why anyone who's been in the corporate world for too long, is forever locked out of any great creative or mental achievements: the mental tools needed have atrophied, and it simply is unlikely you'll be able to retrain them, unless some drastic lifestyle change happens (or you do just the right amount of drugs, another improbability).

This is probably an order of magnitude less expensive to install than anything that requires power. Also a lot of people might not have as reliable power as they think (see Austin last winter).

I like MX blues because they provide that perfect clicky sound with a reasonably low actuation force. Other MX switches are either not clicky or are too tiring for my fingers with their higher actuation force or don't provide sufficient feedback. So I use the blues with o-rings that provide the right mix of clicky-ness, force and dampening.
It has nothing to do with digital. We could pay with credit cards and that's digital enough. The issue is the government seizing your assets, banks deciding to freeze your bank accounts, all the gatekeeping, all the rent seeking fees, all the institutional red tape, etc.

For example if I wanted to take out a loan, it'd take me days to weeks, high interest rates, and may not even get approved. With defi I can take out a loan in just a few minutes, no permission needed.

Also put aside your privilege and realize not everyone is in a first world country privy to the banking many take for granted.

At some point in the future, legal contracts and deeds will have to become digitized and more than just a pdf scanned version of a paper document. Decentralized allow transfers to be much faster and much more easily verified and most importantly allows redundancy of the database.

I was born in the USSR and speak Russian. I generally get Russian humor and some Russian jokes are quite funny. However I share the author’s opinion here: finding the humor in these jokes is rough. I watched the first video where the jokes are being told and honestly event the funniest of these are barely funny. You have to really place yourself into the situation where these people are considered larger than life and treated with all manner of deference and respect. To see them doing things like cursing like a trucker, to realize that they are fallible in some way, etc. can be made humorous but a lot of these jokes seem to fall under the category of “you had to have been there”.

I agree and not even remotely jokingly. Higher education outside of STEM has been nonsense for quite some time. Inside of STEM, it has been an outdated form of education for just as long. The encroachment of socialism into the educational sphere needs to accelerate. The sooner it destroys itself the better.
> It's about antimemes, defined as "an idea with self-censoring properties...which, by its intrinsic nature, discourages or prevents people from spreading it."

Slightly off-topic; There's a TV show about the US opioid epidemic called Dopesick, they depict one of the responsible corporate execs, some Sackler family member, in a really interesting way.

Throughout the whole show it's really difficult to tell if he honestly believes what he's doing is something good, or if he's trying to outdo his other family members legacies.

I can see a very similar situation with somebody at Amazon who's just really convinced how Alexa-powered devices will somehow improve humanity on some fundamental level. In their PoV they are doing these unethical things for an ultimately greater good, in a "the ends justify the means" way.

Rarely anybody perceives themselves, or their actions, as fundamentally immoral or unethical, most of the time we are the heroes in our own narratives.

Hey why do you feel so uncomfortable saying anything whatsoever about race science while full-throatedly defending a person that ostensibly engages in that?

It’s a simple question: What do you think about this race science guy that you’re defending? “Good” would be an answer, “Bad but I support his speech” would be an answer, but a refusal to respond at all while still attacking me kind of reads as “I agree with race science but do not want to admit so publicly”

But you’re way smarter than me, so clearly your response is something so fancy that not even text posted on the internet could convey your nuanced definitely-not-racist opinion. It’s so fancy and nuanced that only folks of your… “caliber” could understand?

STEM is a very broad field, and core, not an incidental.
Government's typically last about 250 years and then either stagnate or are replaced. Here's an essay making that case: http://people.uncw.edu/kozloffm/glubb.pdf, but it is also pretty obvious that governments don't last forever just by thinking about when they start and end. Even China, which has a more-or-less continuous political history going back thousands of years, still had periods of chaos during which no central government really existed and then periods of reconsolidation and expansion.

Modern governments in the West seem to be entering another period of crisis so I'm very skeptical that any global government would succeed in their place.

As a kid I don't remember that much, but I do remember a Stalin joke, which something like this:

A film crew is making a film about the benevolence of Stalin. A little child walks up to the leader and asks for a sweet. Stalin says fuck off and the crew is immediately filming 'He could have killed her.' card.

That said, I agree with your overall point. We all see, what we want to see. The few that don't are either children or those who train themselves to actually look.
The Tesla unit is offset transverse whereas the Eluminator is coaxial. Both are integrated drive units - electric motor and gearbox.

Telsa includes the inverter in the drive module; the Eluminator requires an external inverter, unfortunately.

Quite the missed opportunity, because it would be nearly drop-in if it included an inverter. That's what is so great about the Tesla module. You feed it power and CAN bus commands and boom, you've got torque.

In the situation they’re in, the question is irrelevant. Companies that engage in such behaviour retain people with the ability to get emotionally involved at the level of the company itself. They get motivated in relation to the story that plays out inside the company.

These lobbyists probably feel the same as someone taking a plane with friends to go on holiday in the context of climate change. It can (and should) be seen as an ethical issue. But there’s a dynamic in the group that is such that very little thought will be given to the ethical issue, as it would be seen as anti-group behaviour. Instead the group focuses on the activity they’re there to do: enjoying holidays.

Joining a company is joining a group that found a specific game to play. Most people need to feel like they belong to a group, and most groups don’t tolerate people who question the game that’s being played.
The Roman Catholic Church is less than 1700 years old. The Council of Nicea was in 00325 CE, and the bishops derived their authority from their local congregations rather than from a pope until roughly the Council of Chalcedon in 00451. If you believe that it's closer to 2000 years old, you must also believe that its original purpose was to prepare for the end of the world and the Day of Judgment within the lifetimes of the first Christians. More plausibly, its original purpose was to remove the threat Christianity posed to the political stability of the Roman Empire. The Roman Empire fell in 01453, almost 600 years ago.
