I was at a company that defied the 1980s business embargo in South Africa. They said similar things at the time. The government of South Africa did fall, and most of the world applauded if I recall. The net effect for this business was, that they earned more money by ignoring the embargo, whatever the outcome. There are insulting names in most languages for this kind of behavior, it is not new.

The rules say to be kind regardless of how kind other people are or you feel they are. We're not playing tit-for-tat here—that would guarantee a downward spiral, since everyone always feels like the other person is doing worse.

There's also the guideline against calling names, which you've done repeatedly now.
Hmm well I get that we're in an asset bubble with startups, but if this company is creating jobs, then I think it's somewhat reasonable to assume that they are fixing a problem ppl are willing to pay for.

I do agree with what you're saying from my perspective as an average swe that doesn't do anything highly specialized...

I wonder though, what would the workflows look like for a swe, product, ops person even, where schema changes get passed around and edited so much, (kind of making some assumptions here, comparing central schema registry to crm use cases), that this would be necessary...

Wonder what the shape of the problem looks like...
And Samsung is able to produce a large share of their smartphones in Vietnam (180 million annual unit capacity). There's clearly no reason Apple can't further distribute production across India, Vietnam, Indonesia and a few other nations, while reducing dependency on China. The bigger issue is they want to continue to have privileged access to the Chinese consumer market.

I don't know if you realize but you proved my point.

"an area over which a foreign nation or state extends or maintains control".

The provinces were part of the Spanish Empire, not foreign entities under Spanish control.

"a group of people who establish residence in that area and who retain ties with the parent state."

There is no parent state, there is only one state. So again, not a colony.

And I don't know why do you call me pedant. I just pointed out something that I think was relevant to the conversation. What I find ridiculous is you being triggered by it.
Normally in Rust, to initialize a struct, you must specify a value for every field of it, since null and uninitialized values aren't allowed. To make it a little more convenient, there's a trait called Default which can be implemented for your struct to provide an instance with every field set to a value that you think should be the default. And the .. syntax allows you to copy values for the rest of the fields of a struct from another struct instance. So calling that with Default::default() gets an instance with the default values and uses those values to fill all of the rest of the fields of the struct. Thus if you have a big struct where most values are the default most of the time, you can create instances of it with one or two fields set to something different like this without an extra few dozen lines of repetitive boilerplate for every other field of the struct.
It's nowhere near as simple as that. Many SPAs don't even have URLs for referring to the items they display, so they'd also need to invent a complete URL for everything they might display and then also handle people visiting that URL. And if you change URLs in an SPA, you then need to interact with the browser history API, which, historically, has had a large number of disastrously bad bugs.

Things don't exist by default and every feature takes effort.

Samsung likely has fewer suppliers compared to Apple. And it's much easier to coordinate its supply chain with other Samsung subsidiaries, even across borders.

>> This model is only a few orders of magnitude away from that, and it's already performing really well in its narrow category.

A few orders of magnitude and an entire category away. Artificial "neurons" only have the name "neuron" in common with biological neurons. Consequently you can stack as many layers of artificial neurons on top of each other as you may want and you won't get anywhere near the abilities of the simplest systems of biological neurons.

For example, spiders have ~100 thousand neurons and there's no artificial neural networks that could shake a stick at a spider's cognitive abilities. Which are downright scary, btw.

Estimated number of neurons of spiders from wikipedia:

"Secretly" is well-put between quotation marks, because i kind of recall when those "conspiracy-nuts"(as called by the media, of course) were specifically saying this during that period.

I love how ignorant people can be about this biggest corporation US has.The labour it profits off is not ethical, and a simple search for "safety nets" should be enough to convince one of that.Then again most people don't give a sh1t when they want their new "3D face-unlocked emoji" feature.
How many homeless people could be housed if we spent "only" 500 billion on the millitary each year? Or made billionaires pay a paltry 10% tax rate? Or stopped subsidizing oil and gas companies?

Any one of those changes would directly provide orders of magnitude more funds than scrapping this telescope. Getting worked up over such a relatively tiny expense with such longtail upside seems like a crazy place to focus on cutting costs.
As positive as the tech companies have been for me directly (salary, my own business) and indirectly (investments) more and more I see these stories and the co's behavior and think they all need to be smashed into a million little pieces.

Yeah, the world should never ever invest in future technology or science unless all problems in the world are solved. With that attitude we would still live in the stone age.

Those problems are political and most them already get much money spent on them. World Hunger is already being fought with lots and lots of money. And it turns out its not actually really a money problem.
We’ll, what Apple built with CSAM checking is a tool that checks images uploaded to their servers, and only those images, against a digital fingerprint.

There is no novel technology in this. It’s very basic stuff doing a specific thing. It’s in no way a meaningful stepping stone to doing anything else.

If you’re against Apple scanning images uploaded to iCloud for CSAM that’s fine, say that, but it’s no stepping stone. If you’re not against Apple scanning CSAM uploaded to their servers, as they are actually required to do by law, then it’s a non-issue.

That's beyond terrible. That's a sure-fire way to kill a website. Sadly, there's no way for Google to determine, at first anyway, if those are legit or not.
Not the same thing. In the event of a life- or property-threatening emergency, it's reasonable for the company to temporarily remove the charge cap.

The batteries are backed by a warranty, which in turn is part of the cost of the car. It makes perfect sense to derate the batteries in order to lower warranty costs. Of course, we can debate whether the consumer ever saw the benefit of those lower warranty costs, but the core idea is sound enough.

As for "legal title," you have "legal title" to whatever the sales contract promised. If access to full battery capacity at the expense of service life wasn't in the contract, then you're not entitled to it.
> Hmm why do they need to raise so much cash every 9 months?

Well, they say the best time to take investment is when you don't need it. If you wait until you need it then the terms will be worse. If investors are offering you money when you don't need it, it may be the best time to accept it.

The sequence of raises here look like a fairly normal sequence for a growing startup, except that they happened much closer together than would be typical. The terms aren't shown but assuming they are in line with a typical sequence then this is a great outcome for buf as it gives them lots of room to build their vision without needing to stress over money for a while.

> Also does anyone here use them and have any thoughts about their product?

FWIW, long ago I was the maintainer of Protobuf at Google, including putting together the first open source release. I like what buf is doing -- enough that, full disclosure, I made an angel investment in their seed round.

There's a huge amount of room for better tooling around Protobuf. Binary and strongly-typed protocols require strong tooling to be usable, but with tooling they can be much better than dynamic and text-based approaches. Like, the fact that the protocol is binary shouldn't make it any harder for a human to read it, because your tools should decode it for you on-demand as easily as you could `cat` a text file. Protobuf historically has had sort of the bare minimum tooling and required a lot of ad hoc copying proto files around between projects to get anywhere, which was a pain. A registry seems like the right first step to making things easier, but I'm really excited about what can be done after that... once you have strong type information, you can have tools to dynamically explore APIs, trace communications, etc.
We need to stop the false equivalence. If you are conservative, you may genuinely fear what the Democrats may do if they have enough power. But that fear, no matter how legitimate, does not give you the right to take away somebody's right to vote, or make it more difficult, or overturn elections, or disallow ballots, or give power to overrule vote results through State legislatures, or Gerrymander districts, or force through Supreme Court justices. These are things Republicans have been doing for over 20 years. At this point the minority is now effectively in charge of the judiciary and legislature, blocking and overruling things the majority has wanted for decades. The right to vote is clearly enshrined in our Constitution, full stop. If you don't believe in that, I would encourage you to go out and meet people that are not like you, and free your mind.

I tend to agree. The other drawbacks of a boycott are (obviously) the lost revenue, but also creating a vacuum that will be filled with a powerful, state-backed competitor that may some day operate outside of China as well.
Here's my favourite example of this.

NYC recently opened the first stage of the Second Avenue Subway. This is a project that was initially started ~90 years ago and has been started and stopped multiple times in the intervening years. I believe the final version used none of the original tunnels however. It cost ~$6B for 1.5 miles of track [1]. The budget was padded at probably every level (eg [2]). There are a bunch of other contributing factors.

Now compare Crossrail [3]. This is a hugely ambitious project to build some 117km of track and 21km of tunnels under London in an east-west direction connecting Kent, Essex, Heathrow, central London and the Thames Valley. This was in the planning stage in the early 2000s (possibly earlier) and construction commenced in 2009 or so. It is near completion, only 2-3 years behind the original schedule (that I recall from 2003 at least) with cost overruns of around 20% (IIRC) coming out to ~17B pounds.

The UK and US are similarly developed industrialized nations. NYC and London are large cities with all the problems that entails. Actually, London is far worse because it's been for literally thousands of years, including some ~500 years of Roman occupation.

The scale of Crossrail (adjusted for cost) compared to the Second Avenue Subway is unreal. It's basically an order of magnitude.

The reasons for this are complex. There's no single determining factor. There is failure all the way from the Federal through the state and local governments as well as with the companies that build these things, the oversight of those projects, how the bids are awarded and the people who are actually doing the work. This should at least convince you that there is a problem and it's absolutely massive.

I simply fail to understand people obsession with fusion. We have failed to take advantage of fission. Fusion really does nothing remotely practical that Fusion doesn't do just as well and actually far better. Fission does it with 60-70 technology. Fusion takes incredibly expensive future technology.

Fusion has no practical application other then some super advanced spaceflight situations maybe.

Fission is 10^12 more dense then oil, Fusion gets that to 10^15. If we are not willing to make the effort for 12 orders of magnitude, why would anybody care about a couple more?

I thought about this a lot while I was designing my own amateur liquid rocket. You would almost certainly save a lot of money across all launch programs from the payload, just by spending the effort upfront to qualify a new heavy lift system like a Saturn-VI or Starship.

I think its just such a difficult thing to justify huge upfront costs to congress, especially if you see how long it has taken SLS to get anywhere. IMO, ULA, Boeing (solo) and Northrop's cultures couldn't possibly cut it for developing another amazing vehicle at any appreciable speed without the Euphoria and meaning that the Space Race provided.
