Miracleman essentially demolishes capitalism at the end of Moore's run of Miracleman, and this is, at least initially, a complete success.

Gaiman took over Miracleman from there, intending to write three arcs. The first arc exists and I believe is still in print, having been re-published by Marvel a few years back, "Miracleman: The Golden Age".

Gaiman began the next arc, the Silver Age, the first issues exist, but legal problems (as often before) interfered. Today I believe officially there's some other problem and Marvel claims it will eventually publish the whole series, but realistically Gaiman has better things to do with his time than write comic books. The rest will probably never be published, even though I have them on order (and have had for many years) at an excellent comic book shop and I would like nothing more than to receive those books and pay in full.

Golden Age shows us what Moore describes very briefly at the very end of his story, a Utopia.

It digs into some details. Despite living in a Utopia, people are still people. A woman's husband is unfaithful, a man finds all the women he meets to be wanting and has to be shown that's his flaw, not theirs, school children are still cruel to each other for no reason. Importantly to me this series extensively features my favourite comic book character, Winter. I think Winter's Tale might be the very best single comic book issue I ever read, partly because (in the story within a story which dominates the issue) it completely violates all the rules about comic book stories on the justification that this is a children's book and so those rules don't apply. You couldn't tell this story about Winter in a normal comic book because it has no stakes, she's just ludicrously powerful and does whatever she wants, and that's it.
Phones need to have two passwords; one that when you unlock it just has the built-in apps and a small selection of your emails/images that you don't mind other people seeing.

Second password would actually unlock the entire phone and all files.

Truecrypt used to have this feature (when it was around). Only the second password would actually open the full encrypted storage - first password - which you could give under duress would only 'see' fake stuff that you put there; always thought that was a clever feature - never had a need to use it myself.

Really? Amazon Prime had(has?) one of the worst UX issues I've ever seen... with Auto Starting episodes from a shows page (if you had partially viewed) and if you x out of the episode auto starting again - with no way to navigate to other episodes of the show. Like being stuck in an MC Escher painting.
The iphone isn't actually that hard to repair. If you have the parts and the tools, almost all the parts can be replaced pretty quickly. The problem is a lot of the parts that tend to fail like a screen replacement or water damage to the main board cost as much in parts as the phone is worth. Which in a way makes sense because the screen and main board make up pretty much all the value of the phone.

The nice thing is they have come a very long way in terms of battery replacements. You can get it done by apple for quite cheap and soon you will be able to buy the battery officially.

But improving phone repairability wouldn't really do much for poor communities because it is more economical for them to just buy one of the dirt cheap working phones on the second hand market. You would never bother to fix an iphone 5 for example when you can get another working one for almost free.
“The first time I opened the box, I swiftly concluded that it was way out of my league, and the only way I’d even have a shot at it was if I were for some bizarre reason trapped in my own home for months on end, with nowhere to go and no one to see. Unfortunately, the universe heard me,”

He paid high wages because he was in fact offering highly-skilled work for his time, a bit like Elon Musk is doing today. The "our workers should be able to afford the product" thing was a clever meme/bit of marketing.

(In fact, I would argue that high-paying manufacturing jobs have always required some degree of skill, even when this kind of manufacturing work was especially common in the West.)

Well, Alameda and FTX were founded by the same person. Up until very recently Sam was CEO of both companies at once.

Solar roadways and "infinite solar power water bottles" comes to mind. Just absolute rubbish which manages to extract funds from government programs for them to research how to strap a dehumidifier to a bottle and find out it doesn't make any sense.

Nice article. I love hearing podcasts with scientists as guests (eg Boyden quote on expansion microscopy).

Even better is when the hosts are themselves working scientists.

Recently I got really into this podcast by Itai Yanai and Martin Lercher that tries to find how scientists navigate “day science” (eg formal papers and grants) vs “night science” (mucking about in the lab). Highly recommend if one wants to hear discussions by biological scientists talking about creativity.

Check out “Night Science”.

My bad, that's really not what I understood from your initial statement. But yes agreed.

The only real downside is discussed on the ticket. Ruby is primarily installed from source, so requiring a second toolchain is not ideal.
There is definitely a very large disinformation campaign going on, we can all agree on that.
JFYI, with podman [0] you can get all the security benefits mentioned in the article with containers.

This is pretty neat and I love how cleanly the application code reads. I’m curious: is the Erlang VM super fast? I would have expected VM startup time to dominate the overall time to start.

PostGIS is amazing. The types of queries you can write continually blow my mind. One warning is that ultra fancy queries can be pretty slow if you're going beyond a million rows. Some tips:

• Materialized views with indexing are an easy way to solve many speed issues where you'd like to use a fancy query quickly.

• The GEOGRAPHY data type is great for data integrity, but often slower for queries. I've made sure our primary data is stored as GEOGRAPHY then added expression indices [1] casting to GEOMETRY. Spatial joins and filters can be done on the casted column where faster queries are needed.

• Source data is often very high resolution. If you don't need it, simplifying high accuracy data (5m or whatever) to something much lower resolution (500m, 1km, or whatever) in a derived view or table using PostGIS' simplification functions can greatly improve spatial predicate performance.

Sometimes those are the user’s performance settings, but more often the user has no idea what these performance settings you speak of are and they just don’t want to see your game stutter. It would be nice to be able to distinguish these cases, and this user would love if games could temporarily disable aggressive power saving automatically when I’m running a game and put it back the rest of the time.

You can't have it both ways. Either simple cloth is not good at filtering the virus, and therefore we shouldn't care about retransmit risk from "trapped" virus. Or it is good at blocking them (like an n95) and you can start thinking/caring about second order effects like retransmission of trapped virus.

I don't need a peer review study to tell me to ignore the epsilon squared term when the epsilon term is already being argued to be marginal. If an article comes through claiming the inverse, that is surprising and worth communicating at large.
> Satoshi likely became filthy rich off of his invention

Should I do like you and exclude from the sympathy due to every human being those who are filthy poor if I don't like the poors? Or will you invoke some special exemption clause making it totally ok, like it's ok to punch up but not down?

If I should not, maybe you should ask yourself if respect should exclude those who you dislike, because other people may dislike those you like... or even yourself.
How does the magnitude of that difference compare to vs 1980, and then to 1960, though? Both in terms of the possibilities and in terms of how much the possibility space had been explored?

Sometimes, I cut off both connectors, and pull out the wires inside to use for wiring circuits.

I haven't really touched Java in a while but I don't get why you'd want a lightweight DI container.

You can just build your object graph and pass dependencies manually if you want a lightweight approach, no? That's just the way people do it in most languages.

But what happens when all the phone companies go out of business because of this?
1. No growth. If you're struggling to grow more than 30%/month it might be time to stop or sell.

2. You hate it. I had a decent growing startup, but I hated the user base. It was a keto diet app. The users were people who lost lots of weight on keto, decided that nutritionists were liars, and were relentlessly anti-scientific. We sold it, and the guys who bought it hated it too.

I hated building apps for politicians, many were like mobsters, and it was a terrible feeling helping them. I once quit one partnership because my partner would just lie, break promises, overhaggle with everyone, and the people we were working with would do the same with us (me).

There was one partnership I ended because the other guy refused to fire some people. They weren't just underperforming, they were unreliable and promising things, then acting like the conversation never happened. But this is really common when you can't pay market rate.

But it's like quitting a job. If you dread coming in to work every day, maybe you should be doing something else. Startup DNA is vital. Can't build a billion dollar company when all your energy goes into rent negotiations.

Susskind's excellent lectures are very much a survey of physics. They're great for a lay person trying to get an initial grip on the subject matter. These lectures necessarily can't have the mathematical content that you would see even in an undergrad program. The lectures I've seen introduce the key mathematical ideas but don't exercise them in a way someone learning to be a practitioner would.

> how much more do you get if you go through a true physics bachelor program?

Every physics major will spend countless long nights working problems with pages and pages of algebraic manipulation and mathematical reasoning. It is (and must be) much more mathematical than what you see in the Susskind lectures. They're not intended to be an alternative to a traditional program, but IMHO, they do give a true understanding of the main concepts in physics.

Looking at Susskind's youtube, he has massive amount of content on Special Relativity (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLD9DDFBDC338226CA). Content-wise, it's the same as what a physics major would see, but without the many, many hours of problem solving exercises. The wonderful thing about Special Relativity is that it takes not a whole lot more than careful reasoning, a fair amount of algebra, and a little calculus to understand. The Susskind lectures actually go a bit farther, applying Special Relativity to Electro-Magnetism

One of the issues that Physics has (as a field) that others do not suffer, is a proliferation of cranks. I suspect that Susskind intends, in part, to counteract the cranks by providing solid, correct informational resources to the general public.

Thanks all in the thread for explanations. I had matrix multiplication at the Uni (IT faculty, many years ago) as part of algebra courses, I memorized, I passed the exam, and forgot the topic. Though, I don't remember anyone explaining it then why it's used or useful.

My early understanding after reading your responses and the wiki article, it that's useful if we have some input data (vector), which then undergoes some sequential manipulation by several functions, and we want to know the result in one step, instead of many?

Here is what to say engineers:

(1) BidManipulation is only used in some testing/market simulation environment.

(2) only used in cases where some pricing bug/weird legal issue happened that needs some tweaking to be corrected.

(3) only used in some weird markets where it is legal.

(4) implement many weird obscure features for "next generation ad experience marketplace stuff" and push them to production leaving it to higher ups to configure which combination of them are being used at which market.

(5) empower engineers to come up with additional "whacky ideas" and keep a culture where it is assumed that almost all of them are not passing legal review but they could be enabled at any time.

Not a recommendation.
This seems like a means to introduce atheism/agnosticism in a more culturally acceptable way, I may be reading too much in to it though.
Using something like the Hierarchical Deterministic approach used for modern cryptocurrency wallets ("HD wallets") you can reuse a single master asymmetric key for any number of logins without linking those logins together.

In this scheme there is a single master private key which you protect in whatever way seems best and never share with anyone. From this master private key you can derive any number of subordinate private keys, each with its own public key. You share one of those public keys with each service, along with the derivation path, and authenticate using the corresponding private key. Only the unchanging master private key needs to be stored, so unlike a password manager there is no need to make new backups or sync a password database across multiple devices when you set up a new account. Best of all, without either the master private key or the corresponding master public key there is no (known) way to show that any two subordinate keys were derived from the same master key—they appear unrelated.
I gotta say the one thing the OLPC did right was the display. I wish every laptop had a full sun mode, that thing was awesome.

IIRC there were no moving parts (fan? don’t recall), which was another huge plus.

Everything else was pretty bad. Sugar (the UI) was awful and would prepare 3rd world kids for exactly no other computer. The keyboard was borderline unusable. OLPC was severely underpowered when it was released. I only ever had one, so I never got to test out interconnectivity…it seemed like it could have had a lot of potential, but judging by the rest of the marketing embellishments it probably sucked too. I seem to recall having difficulty with wifi — to be fair, at the the time, most computers had questionable wireless capabilities.
Agree. And who learns from failure is sometimes important too.

Sometimes a project is the same old failure that has happened a 1000 times, and is otherwise owed condemnation as forseeable, but if a NEW class of person/org is getting that learning, then it can change their future trajectories in meaningful ways. I don't know what sort of org OLPC was, but perhaps it was uniquely valuable that these people to fail and learn. Or maybe it was stupid :) I'm just agreeing it's often more complicated to understand than it first appears

(The above applies to individual people, but also to organizations. For e.g., maybe non-profits or governments taking their first babysteps into failures of a certain sort, is valuable in the way its not to savvy startup communities who perhaps already know to avoid certain things)
I was in the 80's gifted program in elementary school (for grades 3 through 6), but went to private schools for jr high and high school. I learned more from public gifted education.

FYI, $25K/year won't get you an elite prep school these days. For that, you'll need at least $60K+.
That's an interesting thought about flash.

Of course you could do something like turn your phone's flash down to the lowest setting, put a filter over it and use it to trigger an off camera flash. Something like an old Nikon SB-800 in SU-4 mode.

You could even hold the SB-800 in one hand and the phone in the other, sort of Bruce Gilden style. (dear gods what am I suggesting...)

Personally I love an X100 and its leaf shutter. My fav old digital camera.
