I agree with the author’s take for the most part. That said, the best line managers I’ve had have done some IC work in the past of the same nature. The best PMs I’ve worked with vigorously attack the customer facing aspects of the problem and trust their technical reports completely on the implementation details, including pushback when the ICs see problems in the product scope.

Car trains (or "Motorails") do. Park your car on the train at the head station, drive it off the train at the destination after having spent the night in a sleeper cabin and drive on to where you want to go. Since trains are electric it would be easy to retrofit the car carriers with charging infrastructure to make sure EVs are topped up for the "fan-out". Everything but the charging infrastructure is already in place and in use, at least in Europe - from the Netherlands [1] you can take such trains to Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Austria, Finland, Croatia, Slovakia and Turkey (via Austria).

AlphaFold for Everybody
The key is to build cities and surroundings around people and not around cars. Of course people will use cars if it's the best mode of transportation. But, as shown by many cities around the globe, if you make public transit or biking the best modes of transportation, people will not use cars to commute.

I think this is something people who have never lived in such cities inherently don't understand. Public transport and bike will always be a better mode of transport for most use cases (not for all, of course) if implemented properly - self-driving cars or not. And no, the solution is also not a hyper loop. Just good old buses, trains, trams, subways and bikes.
It is not "publicaly funded" in the same way that the roads or NHS are. I didn't pay a penny to the BBC the entire time I lived in the country because I never had a television. I still paid for the roads though, despite not having a car (yes, everyone actually pays for the roads, not just motorists).

So while I agree they shouldn't be doing this, I wouldn't use the "publically funded" argument. It muddies the waters and makes rebuke easier.
The excerpt for how the photographer captured the photos: "It was too dangerous to land on the island that day, so I took pictures from a drone equipped with special low-noise propellers. I also used certain tricks of the trade that allowed me to shoot the animals without disturbing them. After a while, the bears practically ignored the unusual buzzing."
That is generic corporate greed.

What If? 2: the book (by the author of Xkcd)
These machines have too many controls. My washer always runs on the same setting (I occasionally press the ECO button). Admittedly, most of my clothes are cotton or similar. When I had a dishwasher it was similar, but with a digital console. I used to just press "Wash". Of course, the controller board that makes all those options available is often the first thing to fail.

There's about a dozen settings on the washer's wash-cycle dial, and two rows of buttons. I don't know what they're all for. It's nuts - there must be about 40 combinations.
Maybe we are different, but I enjoy comforts like "Schedule run for lower cost nighttime running", "Alert me, when the Finishing liquid is starting to run low, so that HomeAssitant can add it to my shopping list", "Automatically measure some values of my (drinking) water supply, and tell HomeAssistant about them". "Set a status in HomeAssistant, when a run has finished"...

Even if tokens had all the rights of equity, this is like IPOing your company on day 1.

So let's just take that as a premise, "every company IPOs on Day 1."

There seems like some fundamental opportunity there. More liquidity, perhaps paired with better milestones.

Is the extant VC model fundamentally defined by business growth or is it legal friction or something else?

Playing devil's advocate, all modern appliances run software to some extent. A modern dishwasher that does auto-dispensing will be particularly more complex.

It's not out of the question that the firmware might need to be updated to manage liquids more efficiently, tweak cycle timings, pressure, temperature, etc. It's no different than an EV for which you can install custom firmware to change its behavior.

Pretty sure any dishwasher on the market in the past decade uses at least a simple microcontroller, just because it's the cheapest way to achieve all their control and user interactions.
I agree, if I understand you correctly. We are on the path to making driving n-times more energy efficient, fussing over if that results is 30 or 40% more driving is missing the forest for the trees.

Agreed - he also put some serious money ($1BN) on the table for talent (both existing and new) and that is really where things get better. Their latest CPUs are excellent, and, perhaps critically, available. I'm not hearing any more news about fab delays or cultural plagues and Gelsinger feels like the rightful successor to Grove.

They have a lot of cash on hand as well - about $35BN - which they've been building up over the last few years (probably saving on fab investments, ironically). If there is a market crash, they will be scooping up companies and talent left and right. AMD has about $3bn, for comparison sake (Nvidia has $20bn but it's likely unspent ARMbucks).

If the congress approves this $52BN fund for US chip making (CHIPS for America Act), a big chunk of that is going straight to Intel for domestic fabs.

Not to forget that if the cars don’t have to be parked next to their destination, towns and cities can be built much denser, so the distance travelled will be smaller. That might even lead to people start walking more since they don’t have to cross 400 meters of parking lots to get to Starbucks any more.
Hopefully right in the middle of a dishwashing cycle.
Or there were longer lines at the chargers. Or they chose different chargers. Or the chargers were broken/slow (common occurence). Or the car burned more power due to lower temperatures.

There's a lot of variance that comes into driving an EV on a longer trip.
I'm not sure but to speculate:

1. I drove fast on the Autobahn. I'm usually cruising at 160kph+, and did the same with the Tesla. Doing some homework, this kills efficiency fast. I imagine your brother was driving slower. Probably more within the high efficiency band.

2. Temperature delta. It was -5C + wind chill for most of our trip, and much colder up the mountain.

3. I kept a healthy battery reserve when seeking chargers (10%+) Tesla owners seem to encourage letting the battery drop below even 5% as this means an even faster charge to 60%. I am told there is an optimal cadence to charging which I suppose one perfects over time.

4. I did not conserve heating, as I'm told many EV owners do on longer trips. My wife likes our car to be subtropical.

5. Our Tesla might have been abused, though I recall it having <20,000km.

6. 1,000km is 17% shorter than my trip, further compounding (reducing) these differences.

7. Maybe my regenerative braking was set to low. I didn't think or know to check.

8. My route took me to at least a few regular chargers instead of superchargers. Maybe if I had been smarter and spent more time planning I could have used only super chargers.

9. Perhaps you stopped for a lot of breaks, reducing the relative advantage you might have had in your car.

10. Perhaps he left more than an hour earlier than you.

11. Perhaps my charging lines were longer than his.

I'm sure there are many other factors I'm not considering.
> It's unintuitive, uninformative, excessively complicated jargon which exists only to gatekeep and save paper.

As a mathematician, notation exists because it's easier to read things with good notation than without. I have some advanced mathematics books in my table and in most of the pages you'll find far more text than notation. Notation is usually explained when it starts being used, usually in the definition. For example, the problem with understanding the notation "Aut(L|k)" is not the notation, because if the author wrote "group of field automorphisms of L fixing k elementwise" I'd be equally lost if I don't understand those words. And once I understand those words, the notation makes it easier to read and understand things whenever the author is talking about that group, because your brain automatically identifies the concept associated with the notation instead of having to read the words and linking them with the concept.
Maybe you are sarcastic or maybe you are trying to make a point in a light-hearted way, but while the word has plenty of history, "American Indian" is not a term particularly frowned upon. The museum in DC is called that way, and plenty of tribes prefer to have ownership over the term instead of it being unilaterally changed. I personally use the two interchangeably (which would probably make *someone* uncomfortable because of some connotation, and I will just be respectful and talk with that person).

We should stop calling it the advertising industry and just call it the tracking industry. Advertising just happens to be the most obvious consumer.

IMHO, IoT is a clusterfuck because it's preying on users' past goodwill towards computing. Historically, computers have worked "pretty well" (especially in the last couple decades).

So users, when looking at a network-enabled fridge, toaster, etc. logically assume "Oh, this will be like my laptop."

What's not apparent to them is how good modern computing has gotten (unless they remember the 90s), or that the companies making IoT stuff have no prior experience in software, or that there are effectively no certifications, standards, or laws around IoT quality.
The first photo looks fake to me. Does anybody know why? Looks like a painting.
It's extraordinary to see the number of people commenting here with "convenience" justifications for why this dishwasher.... a fucking dishwasher.... could indeed benefit from simply letting it run its firmware updates via WiFi. A number of silly, absurd pretects for essentially saying "well, it's not so bad really, I kind of see the point because it will let you do X and Y, Oh and the algo might recommend better soap!"...........

Again, it's a fucking dishwasher. Stack dishes. Press button. Wash dishes. It absolutely does not need a bloody algorithm trying to force you the owner into anything. The idea is absurd, and seeing so many defenses of convenience for such pushy, prying things is as well on the same site where so many people also frequently complain about our worrisome surveillance capitalism/corporatism future of constant user tracking and tech lock-in and siloing.

If some people can't even easily stomach the notion of washing dishes without dubious software updates and data hoarding algorithms, so many other, more serious parts of digital independence are well sold to hell down the road.

I've had AirBnB guests that used the electric kettle to cook ramen. This is an apartment with a stove, oven and all necessary kitchen equipment.

Of course this is stupid; you put the dry ramen in a bowl, pour on boiling water, and wait a minute or two. That's what the instructions on the pack actually say. It's not necessary to boil ramen.
The real problem is how many of these things are going to just break? Most people probably won’t care if their smart dishwasher stops being smart. They’ll care if it stops being a dishwasher, though.
Miele (and BSH) is really good at industrial design in my experience so I'd be surprised if they'd do something like that. However, I also don't really see a particular reason why a dishwasher needs WiFi. Do people actually like... check on them and come running to unload it when it's done? I suppose for checking if it needs dishwasher salt or rinse aid it could make sense but ... eh
A lot of these issues will not be solvable technically, though. Given the way systems/software is built currently, vulnerabilities are going to exist and there are very highly paid and motivated people working on figuring out how to exploit them. It also does not help that mobile devices are in use for much longer than they receive security updates etc.

I am not saying that these issues can/will be solved by legal and political means (especially given that it is not restricted to a single country), but it seems rather unlikely that these issues can be solved by pure technical means at the current point.

I am pretty skeptical that complex science can be explained to normal people. I just tried to explain to my school that since my child tested PCR positive then negative for COVID, he shouldn't take a PCR test for 90 days (highly prone to reporting positive even when he is non-infectious), but instead (like the doctor's note says) should take an antigen test, and if he tests negative on that (and has no symptoms) he can return to school.

I explained this fairly simply but the message didn't get through (to a reasonably intelligent person) and they thought I was saying the complete opposite of what I was saying.
Instead, they are insisting on continued PCR tests (for "more data" even though I have a doctor's note saying to use antigen tests.
