What sucks in reading the bread book is when you get to the bit where he talks about productivity. He has some great figures on the productive output of every industry in France, and what it would take for everyone in France to have enough down to the per capita consumption of meat, grain, etc. And he pointed to the industrial changes that had done so much already: surely the age of plenty for all and copious leisure is right around the corner, if we can just muster the political will! But it doesn't work out like that. We still work a lot. In fact there's a loosely negative correlation between difficulty of a job and standard of living in the U.S. So every time a futurist talks about how AI or automation or whatever is going to give everyone so much free time we won't know what to do with ourselves, I can't help but think back to the facts and figures of this dude writing before we'd even harnessed electricity at scale.
And Axie provides the service of "fun," no? I fail to see how there's any difference here.
I'm curious: what do you use today?
Isn't that what linux and OSS is for? That's the industry you're probably thinking about, as Microsoft, Google and Apple have the obligation to their shareholders to make money which today translates in milking the consumer by keeping them uneducated and clueless about how computers work so they can lock you into their respective ecosystems where everything is so polished and Just Works(TM), so you don't need to think about the "hows" and the "whys" and where your data is going.

"Look! we just launched our new 2022 shiny that's so much better than your old shiny. Go buy it and forget that you could still use your old shiny if we wanted to, but we don't, because that's not profitable, so instead, you'll now pay us a yearly subscription fee from now on because in a couple of years you'll get no updates for your old shiny so just chuck it into the landfill already. Also, we'll collect your data as well, but don't worry, because we care so much about privacy, it's all encrypted with military grade encryption(TM). You don't get the encryption keys though, no, no, no, that's too complicated for your poor soul to manage, we'll keep those for you, but you don't need to worry about that consumer, trust us, we got your back, our products are like a part of your family, just look at the cool marketing ads of our new shiny, everyone looks so successful and happy, and if you buy our products you'll feel the same. At least until the dopamine hit wears off."

That's part of the recipe that makes multi trillion dollar companies, not educating users. IMO, just like sex-ed, our education system should teach kids basic tech literacy in schools from a young age, so they don't put their faith and their private data in the hands of for profit companies, because they don't know any better and just trust the corporate advertising.

Also, IMO, we should regulate big-tech and targeted advertising the same way we regulated big-tobacco, otherwise, if we let everything up to "the free market", we'll get the tech equivalent of pregnant women being told smoking is good for their babies, presuming we haven't already reached that stage yet.

> For example, if a website asks for your date of birth. Ask yourself, is it required by law or is it just for user profiling. If the latter, then just invent a date of birth

I opened YouTube, clicked on a video that requires age verification... Google told me to provide a credit card or a government ID.

F*** Google.
What u-boot version are you using? I boot from eMMC on my PBP pretty much every day and I've never had it fail.

Lack of hw video accel does suck, but I've been able to watch 1080p using ffplay and mpv without it. I wouldn't try that on the battery though.
We need to put a few kilotons of extremely pure water (or maybe other transparent substance) into each satellite.

Not impossible, but likely this amount of orbital lift capacity is better used for other projects.
In this context it's a very important point that there isn't one Internet and there isn't one "we." Unless you strictly mean the human race has yet to go extinct due to starvation.

A lot of starvation events have of course occurred across many different nations, peoples, civilizations. Europe, as one example, was numerous times ravaged by extreme starvation events that collectively killed millions of people across the 19th and 20th centuries. I think your agriculture concerns are well placed.

The various Internets have gone down routinely for all sorts of reasons.
The simplest answer is that I was an asshole. Someone posted an idea and someone else asked for clarification. Rather than act like an adult, I put on my dickbag hat and shit all over the idea. My issue is with David Icke yet for some incomprehensible reason, I jumped into a thread that didn’t involve me and added my own personal shit.

I injected David Icke rather than give Motohagiography the chance to explain their own words. At best, I was a bully.

It was wrong of me and I fucked up. I could have behaved like an adult and made a difference. Instead I acted like a brute and made a spectacle. What the fuck was the point of any of that???

Edit - I have a better way to describe it. I acted like a racist! I saw signs of David Icke and turned dick. A more adult adult would have shut the fuck up…alas, I’m bad at that.

Edit 2 - If I was writing about someone else, I would have used the words “complete fucking asshole”. Let me restate. The simplest answer is that I was a complete fucking asshole. :)

Thanks for calling me out bud! :)

First, I am not an anti-vaxxer, I think we need vaccines AND better health and nutrition to get through the pandemic.

So why is this a surprise? Why do you think we need these vitamins and hormones? (Vitamin D is actually a hormone) For our health! You will find that many of the risk factors of COVID are also outcomes of vitamin D deficiency.

https://portlandpress.com/biochemj/article-abstract/474/8/13...
https://clinicalhypertension.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1...

But what should be being studied even more than Vitamin D?

ZINC.

A zinc deficiency not only effects ACE and ACE2, but also ADAM17, which cleaves ACE2 off the cell to make soluble ACE2. When the virus attaches to soluble ACE2 it cannot enter the cell.

For those who disagree, take a look at Alcoholics Anonymous. It's about making choices. I don't believe it is a mean, heartless, compassion-less organization.
I'm not any kind of analyst or expert in the area, but I'd have thought it would be fairly simple. The products quickly reach their target market, then level off. A lot of customers try it, decide it's not worth the additional expense, and go back to plain meat.

It sounds to me as if people were confused by the explosive growth at the beginning. They opened a new sector, but it's not a tech company. It appeals to an existing market of vegetarians and vegans, and those who were trying to reduce their meat consumption, but it doesn't have network effects like a social media site.

So I feel like they should have anticipated this. They saturated the market, and then slightly contracted.
Can you even call it a game? It seems like work more than anything else. Its a shitty boring job where you’re paid less than a contractor to do work that is completely meaningless and unproductive.

It's Anti-Fragile. If it breaks all the time, everybody is highly experienced at patching together new workarounds, mechanisms for fail over are in place and regularly tested, and there's whole classes of corner case bugs that get flushed out to be stomped (or nurtured as cherished pets) instead of breeding in the dark and jumping out at you all at once.

How can the "Internet routes around failure" be trusted without testing? Everything needs regular exercise or it atrophies.
I've had a good experience with the latest versions of Manjaro and video acceleration, but I've also had the same boot issues since I bought mine (around May 2020). Right now it sits unused and neglected because I can't trust it to boot when I need it to, and it still suffers from the power draw bug during sleep so I can't just close it and come back to it a day or two later; unlike most laptops with properly configured power management, it will be dead after a couple of days sleeping instead of just down by a certain percentage.
I am honestly surprised there is so momentum behind Impossible or Beyond. Both are ultra processed foods, and their health and environmental implications are unclear. They are also not great substitutes for real meat - they simply don't have the same taste profile, although I will acknowledge it is not as far off as previous attempts at vegan burgers or other such products. I think they are good as their own type of product and don't mind the taste though. Are these really going to replace traditional meat products? In my mind, no. But investors seem to be taking that bet.
It's funny to see an enthusiast for this kind of thing show the absurdity of it so clearly.
It’s not here. It’s been out of stock for months. Also what’s the target audience? The hardware is paltry for the “pro” label being touted. eMMC? Seriously?
Yet nobody seems to produce sea level graphs with an accelerating trend from anywhere. Yet for the The Netherlands we have 4 measuring stations which are consistent.

Your link only mentions 'and the rate has increased in recent decades' but then only talks about sea level rise.

Nobody is disputing sea level is rising : we have exited an ice age.

And before you accuse me of shallow reasoning : why don't you come up with the graphs?

No, what’s it called?

Yeah, does it have a name?

That’s what I’m asking you! What does WHO call it?
I don’t know what to make of the WHO statements anymore. There has been so much retractions, flip-flops, politically-driven actions, half-truths, etc... I don’t know how assign any meaning, good or bad, to what comes out of that organization.

The directives from the state-run companies seem so vague that it doesn't feel like security is the real motivation. Isn't this just a continuation of the CCP's on-going containment of powerful businesses? It seems like they really do not want anyone or anything accumulating enough power or influence to challenge the party. It's a shame, because it feels self-limiting.
The scientific definition for the COVID vaccine is that it is "leaky". This is true of the flu vaccines as well.

https://www.infectiousdiseaseadvisor.com/home/topics/respira...

They knew this and they lied to us all. That was the worst type of propaganda. And IMO, Fauci is the worst at this type of patronizing behavior.

We cannot vaccine our way out of this pandemic. It is with us, so get healthy.
“Pushing ahead” implies they said something later that ignored the backlash. Such as another announcement. If they’re thinking about what to do now, they’re not “pushing ahead”. Just reconsidering.

We won’t know what they’re actually doing until the next announcement.
My quick stab at FA:

Pros

- Revenue growth and gross margins are really impressive

- Big sales and marketing spend that seems to be effective at growing top line

- Costs under control - loss from operations decreasing with an obvious path to profitability while still scaling up very fast

Cons

- "We face intense and increasing competition", combined with

- $55B total addressable market

Assume Samsara manages to reach 20% market share of this market, that means they will be able to grow a maximum of 20x after IPO. Compare this with TSLA who had $15M and grew to $31B (2000x). Probably not the best comparison, and TAM is growing too, but it makes me wonder how much further this company can grow? And at this growth rate? It is quite a niche industry (IoT).

Anecdata, but I personally grew tired of the Impossible meat taste after eating it regularly for a year or so.

It seems like consumers are signaling that they prefer the taste of real meat. We can talk about Sustainability™ all day but the market will decide for itself. And it’s usually flavor that wins out.
I don’t think that would work because you would need to drop in the new binary and restart the program and as soon as you kill the program it will kill the container and bounce the pod. Moreover, my app is just a static binary with some certs on a scratch image, so I can’t even `kubectl cp` the binary because that depends on a tar binary on your container.

I think I would need to run some sshd program on the binary and use a reverse SSH tunnel from my laptop, but that requires me to expose an SSH port on the pod which isn’t a big concern, but it’s just a grind to get it all working end to end.

I thought they contracted out their entire staff? Seems that “keeping their workforce happy” goes against contracting. If you do a contract and you like the client, you might pick up another one. Otherwise no hard feelings, get the current contract done and go work for someone else.

Slow down, mate. The WHO would like a word with you: (all quotes from the Guardian)

- The World Health Organization cautioned countries against hastily imposing travel restrictions linked to Omicron, saying they should take a “risk-based and scientific approach”. It would take several weeks to determine the variant’s transmissibility and the effectiveness of vaccines and therapeutics against it, WHO spokesperson Christian Lindmeier said, noting that 100 sequences of the variant have been reported so far. People should continue to wear masks whenever possible, avoid large gatherings, ventilate rooms and maintain hand hygiene, he added.

- South Africa condemned the decision of other countries to impose travel restrictions as ‘unjustified’. The health minister, Joe Phaahla, Phaahla said South Africa was acting with transparency, and that travel bans introduced by a number of countries against southern African nations are “completely against the norms and standards” of the WHO. Phaahla called on all South Africans over the age of 12 to come forward and receive the vaccine, which he said remained a “major bulwark” against infection and severe illness.

- South Africa’s president Cyril Ramaphosa will discuss reimposing lockdown restrictions at a meeting on Sunday, as the country scrambles to assess the potential for Omicron to unleash a deadly fourth wave. As I’ve mentioned above, the government appealed for people to get jabbed as soon as possible - only around 35% of South Africans have been vaccinated.
Meanwhile in the UK this week ...

"The government agreed to regulate BNPL lenders after an independent review chaired by City expert Christopher Woolard, published in February, warned that the sector represented a “significant potential consumer harm”."

I believe Pine has done two production runs of the PBP in 2021. They are aiming to do another run in Q1 2022 according to this: https://www.pine64.org/availability-and-shipping-status/ .

The stock does not last long though. Fwiw lenovo is quoting me several months for an amd t14 thinkpad. So I don't know why you are giving Pine such flack for only doing a couple runs in a rocky year.
No one got colds "regularly" during last year's "lockdown and mask" periods, or during the summer. Maybe, if you had a kid in preschool, but they have been closed during those periods as well. There is something unique about your situation you are unaware of or perhaps not telling us.

I'd stop giving out advice to a population that is almost certainly, mostly deficient in Vitamin D. Sure, don't overdo it, but as it is quite hard to, probably affecting a tiny percent of the population, is a lesser concern right now.

Maybe that's true, but these kind of actions are Microsoft's MO. It's how they grew, it's what they'll forever do. I almost thought they had changed when they seemingly shifted to be friendlier when they were trying to attract developers to Azure and embracing Linux and OSS, but obviously not. MS just can't not be evil. Kind of like Oracle.
What if the only value is speculation or rent seeking on people that are poor? It’s already the case that the pay to earn economy crashed deeply. You keep saying value but without saying what that value actually is. Until a Ponzi scheme crashes everyone in it thinks it’s providing value after all.
