The fact you compare this to laundry means you don't really understand the problem. Adding any sort of friction to an onboarding flow severely reduces conversion.

The tech and it's benefits don't mean anything if there is too much friction before the user realizes the benefits, and it doesn't take much friction to dissuade people.

See these tweets from a founder who built a social app startup and sold it to Facebook for 8 figures:

Consumers won't adopt a decentralized solution because there is way too much friction. The only reason people use crypto is because there is a monetary incentive, and even then it's pretty damn fringe.

Yes, I do disagree that something like pfsense "is only an acl"

Or that capabilities can function without lists.

You dont?

It is important to understand that human anatomy is a science discipline with as much debate as any other science discipline. No human body and therefore anatomy is like the other. This discovery isn't exactly new but a controversial topic with many different opinions under experts.
If a conversation exceeds 24 hours, WhatsApp charges the rate of another conversation for every additional 24 hours.

As I clearly indicated in parenthesis, my use of the word small was relative to all of humanity. Jesus appeared to many people, over five hundred after his death and resurrection and we do know the identities of many including of course the original 12 disciples. [1]

> You now rely on the testimony of these small of group of people

So according to you, Jesus would have to manifest to many more people to pass your belief test. How many more would do? More than 500? 1000? Your requirement seems arbitrary to me.

> rather than Jesus himself, or witnessing him directly.

Again, if that's your requirement, then you should discount all of history.

> This is how it goes in other countries, too, where you cannot even legitimately get disks or downloads, much less be able to afford them.

Oh yes, thank you for remembering that. It's truly an exception around here.

Pretty much all streaming services refuse to accept my money or provide access to 0.1-1% of their catalog (compared to what is available in the US, literally a few to a few dozen shows/movies) for exactly the same price per month, so who would even bother? Of course, you can always try to find a working VPN, if they weren't getting blocked all the time.

I believe Spotify is the only service that gives access to the same selection as in every other country.

So everyone "pirates" everything, especially if you want content in its untranslated original form.

Edit: except for games. Most games are available from Steam and other major platforms, and those are very popular.
Oh, definitely. And I would have like the article to include that information. Even if it was just to say that it's accuracy is nothing to write home about either way.

The networking world is...weird. Very different from the coder world. I think it comes down to the fundamental truth that the network cannot fail while code can fail fast. Therefore, networking hasn't undergone the multiple seismic shifts that software has and tends to be populated with a more conservative cast of characters.
It is still dogshit though. The reasonable behaviour would be an error.
I guess the author was saying that people who pay $10 for a CD might now be willing to pay for thousands of dollars for an NFT as an investment. But this only works if the NFT bubble never bursts.
You guessed about 30 years newer than the actual age of the fridge (see my other comment here.) ;-)

It costs less than $50/year to run. I don't think a new one today would last 80 years.
Right, but these are value adds to the business, rather than personal career goals, which is what I’m getting at (a business will assess your worth not on your career goals but what you are worth to the business, and personal career goals aren’t a great measure of that, unless you can craft such goals very carefully).
I once asked at a rental desk, while they were verifying all the papers that I already uploaded online, why it took so long to rent a car when I can rent a full house in a few clicks with no physical interaction.

They swiftly answered: because one can not drive away past the border with a house.
We have 240v appliances in the US. We have split phase power where we have 120v going to most things and 240v circuits run specifically to higher power devices. We just don’t put them in bedrooms and living rooms.
> If you can operate a torrent client or even know what one is, you are much savvier than the average Netflix/Roku/etc user.

Probably depends from where you are. In Poland some 15 years ealier, it was quite a common skill, even for people who rarely used anything else on the internet. Many people had crappy and unstable connections and torrenting was the only viable option for them to watch anything from the Internet.
We’re talking about recruiters not the interviewers.
Yes, a landline one.

If you mean a mobile, yes to that too, but it's rooted and off most of the time.
Yes, we really do, ESPECIALLY around quarter boundries. Multiple a day, often expecting phone calls for basic information, it's really annoying sometimes when they don't even include a basic job description and salary band info.

Your profiles must not be very marketable, or they're worded strangely if this is accurate, as you should have seen similar levels of cold recruiters. I'm not an outlier, all my coworkers get similar levels, usually the same people/emails.
> This Alexa result is little more than if the person had run the same search query in google.

Alexa is made to come off humanoid, "conscious" being, and a child can easily get misled and take its answers (or a dare, in this case) verbatim.

When you interact with a computer/phone/tablet and search something, you understand this is no different than you opening a book and scrolling for answers.

So, as others mentioned, it's down to the appearance.
The “OMG Elon Musk” angle is not so interesting.

What is interesting is that the problem of space sharing has been really discussed as a discussion between friendly European/American powers, and annoying astronomers. But clearly China has something to say about it too, and means to counteract it too.

I wonder if Starlink is a major trigger for development of another generation of anti-satellite weaponry (eg say one that doesn’t produce as much debris). It’s a perfect target: non-scientific, non-state-owned (so it’s only Elon who would whine), there’s plenty of them, and presumably very, very annoying to anyone trying to use the same orbital “slots” as them.
No one who had spent a single minute on Android's Facebook app or Messenger would put a single thought into using Facebook technologies for their front end. The fact that it's a popular choice is truly a mystery to me.
Maybe for a high visual movie like spiderman but there are many movies that are fine watching in a lower quality. Also it just depends on the torrent that is available. I have seen screeners that were of high quality, mind you a couple scenes were missing the special effects but hardly took away from the video imo.

> Accordingly, our discussion style may be considered somewhat unusual by some people. We do not argue till exhaustion defending our points of view. We present ours and read others'.

This is an important lesson that I hope more communities and maintainers adopt. I didn’t learn it myself until I had been working in open source professionally for a decade and was beginning to burn out.
This bring back memory of middle school. I grew up in one of the poorest overseas territory of France, and if you left anything on your table while the teacher was calling you to the board, you had a 50/50% chance of having them stolen before you came back to your seat.
Therefore, we all got into the habit of picking our pencil case with us when we went to the board.

Then I moved back to metropolitan France and all the teacher and kids where looking at me like an alien when I was picking all my stuff up before coming to the board ...
You should improve your previous experience description. Use bullet points and keywords, for example:

* used terraform to manage aws infrastructure

* developed microservices using cqrs and event sourcing

* application monitoring with cloudwatch, grafana, prometheus and loki

Make yourself searchable and make it clear what you bring to the table.
Without criticizing your Fibonacci Streaks idea, I don't think that your pessimism regarding chains is actually accurate. I think that voluntarily performing some practice every day becomes increasingly stable past a certain threshold of time. I have maintained a number of chains over many years. For instance, I have a daily diary in which I have written daily entries since early... 2019? I think I have missed 2 days, total, and in both cases, it was a case of simple forgetfulness due to some involuntary cause (e.g. taking a nap and sleeping through the night), and thus did not decrease my motivation going forward. At this point, I think daily journaling is extremely well-ingrained, and I do not think I will cease doing it any time soon.

The difficulty that people run into with maintaining daily rituals is that they have no way of reliably enforcing the ritual during a period of low motivation / energy. My approach is to find a low-commitment version of the ritual to be performed on days where you don't feel you can really give it your all. How I approach this with diary writing is simple: on nights where I feel I cannot possibly spend much time writing, I write an entry of the form, "It is incredibly late and I do not want to write more before I go to sleep." Nothing more. By doing this, I am able to maintain accountability without torturing myself.
Some management, some sales people, some consultants (where there can be a "don't go work for a client you have been recently placed at, for N months after leaving" clause). Mostly, I have seen it done through gardening leave, though.

But, as I understand it (but, then, I have NO legal training), if the no-compete is baked into your employment contract, it is null and void after your employment is over. To actually be valid, it needs to be a separate contract. I would double- and triple-check that before relying on it, though.
The lack of intelligence isn’t falling for the challenge, it’s finding the challenge and suggesting it to a child.

Indeed, you could "say it about anything." But "don't you realize they're just selling you that to make a profit?!" would sound like an inanity if someone said they liked, say, the bread a bakery down the street sold, or a keyboard, or the Xbox.

India is cheapest at 0.0066$ or ₹0.4843 /day/user. Considering the penetration and size in Indian market. This seems to be a good number.

The "global spreadsheet" is the whole point of the blockchain. An excel spreadsheet obviously would break down over many companies and many users. A JSON api would work but how will you enforce the API over many companies, devs, and users? How do you know someone didn't tweak some of the logic or change some info in their DB?

The blockchain gives you the ability to make a shared interface, a shared DB, and a way to audit whenever someone changes the interface or the data.

I could give you a dozen examples of someone just "throwing the internet" at some problem 20 years ago... Spotify just throws the internet at music distribution, etc...

Those companies have turned out to be extremely valuable because they all solve real pain points of actual users and Balaji is a highly knowledgable investor who experiences this actual pain point so I wouldn't downplay this as throwing blockchain at anything and everything...

Nowhere on the page could I find a definition of conversion. What is a conversion? How does Facebook know about it? What about me do they share with other advertisers? How is my conversion used to target future ads?

This is just the regular Facebook ad pricing playbook being pushed out to all "meta" properties. Instead of ad placements though, it's for bot messages.
The child in question is 10, right? It doesn't sound credible that a 10-year-old child could not operate a search engine.
Step 1: "Send USDC from a wallet with your ENS address to the entity’s ENS address, and receive digital assets back into your wallet." What could possibly go wrong?

What guarantees that, having done an irrevocable funds transfer, you get something back? Or get back what you expected. Or that the investor is the person expected. This needs something like a two-phase commit - everybody agrees on the terms, and then all parties trigger the transaction locked to those terms. Any conflict and nothing happens.

There's some handwaving about "smart contracts", but those have trouble controlling anything that isn't on the blockchain. Like actually doing something in the real world.

I'm not saying that this is impossible, but it looks like the proposal has some holes in it.

Also, in practice, if you send US$100 million in USDC to someone, which a VC might do, can the recipient actually convert it to dollars and get it into a bank account within a few hours? Or will they stall for a few days?

I think the problem with a word like infamous is that it kind of requires the context of the author or speaker's social mores, and if you don't share their value judgement then they're just famous. And social mores have changed a lot and even now vary from person to person.

depending on your calendar tooling, you may be able to have calendar events shared between multiple calendars. And I do understand the whole "not wanting more devices", although it can lead to having a harder time separating work from not-work.

Personally, I have accepted that the only way I can get a decent-enough separation between "work" and "not-work" is to, as far as possible, separating work devices from personal devices. I have a me-phone, and a work-phone. Unless I am on-call, the work-phone tends to not be near me during not-work-hours, it sometimes gets shut off on weekends (unless, again, on-call). I have a work laptop, and a me-laptop (currently about 80 mm apart), the me-laptop stays closed during work, the work-laptop stays closed outside work.

Create great content easily with a free AI writer by ShareTXT
Writing is easy to the extent that you are interested in what you are writing about.
Most of the challenges with writing stems from the *process of writing no the writing itself.*
Typical challenges consist of the following
* Figuring out what to write about
* The stress of sitting down and typing a thousand words in to your computer
* How good is this content for your target audience
* Overcoming obstacles such as writer's block
* And so on.
These are some of the challenges. The goodnews is that *with the new improvements in technology such as artificial intelligence, writing today is so much more easy than it has ever been in history.

Artificially intelligent systems has made it incredibly easy as a content creator to manifest your creativity more fully without barriers.
The former walls that the great writers of the past had to deal with has been overcome by AI.

The issue with these systems is that they are expensive and require significant investment.

There are others that are free and very easy to use. They can help you kickstarter your engines to start churning out content.

My personal favourite is ShareTXT, it has a collection of free, open source productivity apps created for content creators.

You can use it to get content ideas from an AI, discover what people are searching online, find out how easy it is for people to read your content and much more. And the great part is that, it is free to use, no sign ups, no app downloads everything that you need to succeed as a content creator all in one place.

You were at Camp Lejeune so you might have heard about "baby heaven". [0] That shit is just evil. No socialist system has deliberately poisoned military families just so the generals could get sweet jobs from private companies after they retired, so your experiences were of capitalism, not socialism. Calling it socialism just makes you look sort of clueless.

This awful poisoning shit is still happening right now. [1] The officers who run particular installations DGAF about the health of people living there. They just want to "accomplish their objectives" which is invariably some wargames bullshit or fake statistical readiness scam. They get their ribbons or promotions or whatever and GTFO.

The Cell processor was a very different architecture from x86. It sacrificed cache coherency and required the programmer to manually manage each core's cache, in exchange for state-of-the-art performance. This was all done in C (although FORTRAN compiler was also available, of course). The Cell processor simply introduced new intrinsic functions to the C compiler, to allow the programmer to access the new hardware functionality. It all works perfectly fine with the rest of C, although people felt it was too difficult to program and the architecture quickly went extinct.

NVIDIA GPUs are also innovative hardware, mentioned in the article, and CUDA is also just an extension of C. CUDA is wildly popular, and lots of higher level abstractions had been built on top of it. The only thing lower level than CUDA is the NVVM IR code which is generated by the C compiler (eg. LLVM NVVM backend) and is only compiled into final machine code by the GPU driver at run-time. So C is the lowest level.

The problem doesn't lie with the language, it lies with the x86 processors and different trade-offs that companies like Intel must make, such as trying to sell processors to developers who have been instructed by their employers to be productive and use a "safe" and high level language (e.g. Java CRUD application developers, or JavaScript web developers, etc).

Whether or not a child is at risk from a browser search and result is not relevant to whether or not a child is at risk from a voice assistant search and result.

They are separate concerns and considering the browser case does not nullify the necessity of considering the voice assistant case.

For example, replace “10-year-old” with “3-year-old” (a simple and effective safety test for potential threat to children) and apply that test to both devices:

A) Could a 3-year-old child be reasonably expected to operate a keyboard-browser search and result interface? Could they be placed into danger by doing so?

B) Could a 3-year-old child be reasonably expected operate a voice assistant search and result interface? Could they be placed into danger by doing so?

The answers to A and B are not the same, because the threat models (to the child) are very different when “can read and type” is not taken for granted, as is implied for a 10-year-old. This is why the US has a safety commission to consider these things: common sense can hide critical threats to children that are invisible and unrecognized by well-meaning adults.
It's apparently a college project in some Signal Processing classes to implement a modem over speaker/microphone from first principles.
