I'm not saying that this happened here, but let's assume a scenario to the extreme - that Bezos doesn't even know this is necessary. He orders a yacht, is quoted a price, pays that price. The dismantling of the bridge is included in the price, because the yacht building company wants his business and has made a deal with the city council to make that happen.

How is he still a bad guy here, outside of being so obscenely rich to afford a yacht? Why is everyone complaining about him, instead of:

1) the company that accepted the order knowing full well they would need to dismantle the bridge to deliver it

2) the city council for allowing this to happen

Like yes, I get it - he's a billionare so he's automatically a bad guy. And a lot of it is deserved. But in this case some of this hate really should be directed towards people and institutions that made this plan and those that approved it.

Fedora is talking about dropping support for all 32-bit ARM CPUs (ARMv7), so it won't run on the Turris Omnia after that. Nothing to do with time_t or Y2038, but I guess that factors into it.

> Since then, Facebook have innovated very little.

Facebook has created Facebook Workplace from scratch which is very successfull, is this not innovating ?

Facebook has resisted the growth of Snapchat, is this not innovating ?

WhatsApp has continued to grow after its acquisition and is very successful today.

Facebook is clearly one of the most innovative company of this size.

Buying companies and being able to make them grow is clear proof that Facebook is innovative. In the real world most acquisitions end up failing
I don't really use either of those because I'm:

a) on my work machine and therefore not going to store my music library on it

b) on my work machine and therefore spending most of my time between a terminal, my text editor, Slack, and a web browser

My opinion is that web3 has greater promise with distributed content - IPFS, the DAT protocol and the Hyper protocols will allow individuals to publish content without the restrictions imposed by infrastructure providers.
I would agree with this, Ansible (and Salt) allow you to extend the functionality by

1) Create a python script for your functionality
2) Drop it in a predefined folder on the master server
3) sync all agents (if using agents)

In my experience Chef / Puppet are not so easily extendable, and anything using Golang or Rust would require a step to generate the binary code for your new functionality, taking for granted the proposed tool would allow extensions to be picked up dynamically by adding them to a specified folder.

It's a ledger, not a database.

The author is critiqueing blockchain, and broadly I agree with the critique. But it's pretty shallow. It just regurgitates what we already know. Perhaps the salient observation is that Web3 is just blockchain hype with a new name; but the author doesn't actually make a case for that at all.
> One of the things I struggled with when I started out as a programmer was where to put my code. It was not something I could easily find in tutorials and for a long time I wondered why everyone was so focused on how to get framework X to do Y, when all I wanted to know was where to put the code that does Y.

So true. Small things like this are why I'm so glad I had a software engineering job at a real company for a few years, even though I don't necessarily want to do that for life. I learned a lot from looking at codebase conventions and quick questions to the elders. Unfortunately, no one can help you with the other hard problem: naming.

As I say in the post, I think it's very difficult to determine what constitutes a 'just' riot. For Trump supporters, the 6th Jan insurrection would be just!
The pc used to be like this, it will change. Remember when people in high school called us nerds? Now many more people want to be "nerds". We will slowly adopt to VR. It has enough use already, use (!), not potential, use!
Nothing wrong with old people. There's quite a few of them in our world, and only increasing. Also, old people have money, unlike teenagers. Also, old people stick around, unlike teens that switch networks every year or so.

He did innovate and more importantly, executed well. Facebook groups, marketplace, buying Oculus, all great plays. They have something like 1.9B daily users. At this point there isn't much growth left and user decline is expected. Facebook don't need to be rescued. Still very healthy.

Now regarding VR. I'm really happy he is going all in on it. He might fail but it's a bold move. Too early to tell but I'm not betting against him.
I don't see how self-driving changes the calculus. Sure, sometimes I'll drive 5-6 hours instead of flying, but that's already the status quo.

People have been talking about tech bubbles for years, there might be a small financial bubble due to the money printing in recent years but I'm not seeing a big bust coming like dot-com. Tech compensation is probably more influenced by the discrepancy between locations. Once people figure out how to properly handle remote workers and remote teams (which is happening due to Covid), global compensations level will probably level out.

It's in a different league in terms of size, at this point.

Also, FB bought Oculus. It has grown since, but most of where they are is on trajectory from the purchase. Meanwhile, VR as a whole is neither a big not profitable market. The competition are also a bunch of upstart-ey businesses/divisions limited by investor generosity.

Zuck makes good acquisitions, no doubt about that, but Oculus isn't an Xbox yet.

Xbox, OTOH, is proof that Microsoft could enter a completely different market, compete, win and create a whole new business division. It was already a mature market.
I agree, and fair enough. VR will get broad adoption, a few things need to happen before it will (e.g. 4000x4000 per eye) but the hardware innovations needed to get there aren't big wild things. They are simply things that will become a thing through incremental progress.
Get a cheap subwoofer and play a sound just below the frequency humans can hear on a medium or high amplitude. Your normal hifi speaker should be enough too.

Put it at the wall of your neighbor for a few days. Most people will feel nausea, vertigo or unwell in general. Great for evicting unlikable neighbors.

I don't like the deficiency in knowledge and skills that this implies. As a self-taught person you can learn and know everything that's covered in a CS degree. It will take time and effort, and your experience will be different compared to someone who took the traditional route (I'm not even arguing for one or the other) but the idea that self-taught people don't know computer science is kind of a silly meme.
Very well written and explained and very helpful. Thank you.

The vast majority of people...would forego opportunities to steal and rob

I agree with you 100%. The scary thing though is that if 99% of people wouldn't steal, just imagine how much damage those 3.3 million people in the U.S. can do. (That's 1% of the U.S. Population)
>> I recommend you read a bit from Seneca the Young to understand where I'm coming from.

A better recommendation is to actually close down the computer and put away the mobile phone and actually go out from the bedroom and interact with real people.

This way, one gets an idea about how the real world works and see the true nature of human traits and behaviors.

If you just sit at home and read Arthur Schopenhauer, Marcus Aurelius and Plato you will build a mental model of reality that doesn't exist in the real world.
Your naivety would show and you will be taken advantage of without even you knowing it.

Do both. Philosophy to improve yourself but also step outside the home to understand how real life works. Best of both worlds!

FYI: if you start on an endeavour like this in order to get around uBlock Origin blocking your existing analytics platform, you will probably end up disappointed; if you do it just for your one site, you may well get away with it, but if you share it with others or if your site is popular, it will be added to popular blocking lists before long. In fact, if writing such a thing myself I would be strongly inclined to deliberately style my URLs so that they matched an existing rule in EasyList or similar. I have nothing but scorn for the likes of https://github.com/plausible/analytics/discussions/387 where site owners are saying “oh no! our tracking script has been blocked! how can we work around the visibly-expressed intent of the end users and give them something that does not serve them and which they have demonstrated they don’t want?” Same deal with tricks like CNAME cloaking. (Related: https://plausible.io/docs/proxy/introduction.)

Yes, your tracker may behave better than Google Analytics, but something that’s still better behaved is “nothing”. :-)

(That you may assess where I sit on this spectrum, and how seriously or otherwise to take me: I have more than the default set of lists enabled in uBlock Origin, and I block JavaScript by default with uMatrix in normal windows, mostly briefly opening Private Browsing windows, where I have uMatrix disabled, if I want to use something that depends on JavaScript. But I do all this far more out of concern for performance than privacy.)
I mean, he's right about the downsides, but I suspect we're going to be stuck with the web3 changes for a while yet. We're going to see a lot of companies go through the grift/backlash cycle.

And the consumption of ~ 110 TWh/year is going to produce some changes to the climate.
This. Games are IMO more valuable to society than quite a few startup products. Of course the real value of startups is in the money that employs people which then goes back into the economy, whether or not the startup survives.
How do you define "worked", and how long a period do you use to make that conclusion? Compared to e.g. Sweden the number of deaths from SARS2 per capita is lower in those countries you mention but the damage from locking down is higher. If the damage from locking down exceeds the reduction in deaths from SARS2 locking down is a net negative and as such does not "work". Seeing how as locking down is likely to have longer-term negative consequences it will take a while before the real costs of lockdowns can be calculated.
Even the premise of lockdowns "working" is questionable for infections which become endemic and as such will eventually come to all unless an effective vaccine is developed. If a lockdown can keep the bulk of the population free from infection until such a vaccine is realised it can work but the current crop of vaccines clearly does not meet those demands.

I'm in the US so I don't know what's viable for you, but I'm using Lutron Caseta switches for my main lights/fans. I've had zero issues with them and they even work without the hub (which I only have so that I can link it to home assistant).

They aren't a traditional toggle switch, they have two buttons (on and off). Personally I find that to be an acceptable compromise and in terms of looks they are some of the best looking switches on the market smart or not. A lot of generic smart switches look like mass produced cheap junk. Lutron actually put a little bit of effort into the design which is nice.
There is also a reluctance to abandon the real world, even for short periods, that I think people underestimate. Even if it were perfect, there are plenty of people who just don't want to do things in VR. They want to be in the real world, doing real world things with their real world friends. I think that's where AR has the true advantage, not in the experience of the medium but rather that you aren't fully committing to the virtual world.

I dunno. Whatever. Take all but the essential belongings he has perhaps. Force to more labor. Adding prison years will hardly serve any good purpose anyway.

Me too. But white collar criminals gaming the state and their own employees are one thing, a lottery - another. In general I'd leave anything about lotteries to be free wild west. A lottery is a gamble, whoever chooses to take any part in a lottery takes the risk. As long as there is no violence taking place I actually don't think it's necessary to interfere at all.

If $100bn of spend is being caused by advertising rather than by need, then it sounds like a net benefit to society to prevent that spend.

My monitors are awesome though and I don't have to wear a ridiculous headset.

I am never wearing a VR headset all day to save space. The day this rolls out I am asking for an exception for real monitors.

Sure. But not everybody wants to try to achieve those marks on 30h per week. Instead, they might prefer to achieve 75% of expectations on 30h per week.

The "do enough to not get fired" plan also leads to fundamental career stagnation, whereas a reduced schedule can actually still let you advance in your career.

What value are you talking about?

Not publishing open stats on test failures? Why is that something the customer would want to pay for?
OpenWRT uses musl which has 64 bit time_t.

It also compiles the whole system to a single image, so you don’t have the problem with ABI incompatibilities because you typically don’t run random third party binaries.

"It's all about pushing for revenue. Some newly invented fee that most customers don't know they're paying. Some new way of charging both sides of a transaction. More of something.

Right, so before the information asymmetry was blown apart and the entire world was suddenly able to think about property as an investment. Hell, investment in general and the concept that a pension won't exist or won't be enough.
I loved it as a teenager, but it's... aged poorly. IDK, maybe that's not fair. I am sure my standards have improved quite a bit since then. Certainly, if you like campy, cheesy sci-fi and don't mind some community-theater grade acting in the first few episodes, it'll be right up your alley. It's not as bad as, say, Tremors (same era, shlock sci-fi), but it's also not a prestige series like Star Trek. It's probably somewhere between Stargate and Farscape in terms of quality.
> Virtually all the innovation in VR was made by Valve, the only innovation Facebook has added is inside out tracking.

That hasn't been true for a long while. Having a room-scale VR system back in 2016 certainly made Valve look quite a bit ahead of Oculus's "Rift is a sitting experience, have an Xbox controller" disaster.

But these days Oculus is far ahead, they are constantly adding new features (AR, hand tracking, wireless, standalone, 2D app integration, etc), while SteamVR is still mostly the same as it was back in 2016. At the moment SteamVR is barely even usable and full of bugs (resolution and input settings regularly disappear).

That's not to say that Oculus is the only one innovating, Microsoft's WMR Portal was a great attempt at bringing the Desktop into VR and they were the first ones with 6DOF tracking in a standalone headset. Some of the AR pass-through stuff, that Quest2 has just added, could be done on Daydream years ago.

But Daydream is dead, WMR seems to be on life support and SteamVR isn't getting any improvements either, all while Facebook went full throttle and is pumping out new VR features every few months. The only one that might have a chance at competing with Facebook's VR effort at this point is Sony with PSVR2 and maybe Apple, but their VR doesn't seem to not be aiming at the mass market.
Oh, the mainstream media says so, so it must be true!

Why do you have to create the folders for your bookmarks yourself? Can you use a classification AI to automatically put the bookmarks in a variety of categories based on the contents of the page?

You would then only need to add tags such as "read this on the weekend", "send to my wife later when I'm not at work" or "use this one in my upcoming blog post".

Otherwise, having them organized would be really handy when you are browsing your bookmarks or trying to find something you saw a few months back but can't remember the right keywords for it to show up in a search again.
They've said that, but has it actually happened?
Remember Afghanistan vUSSR, Chechnya, and Ukraine v1.0?

I'm Australian. I see Russian aggression in the Ukraine in a historical context that includes a lot of proxy wars very far away from me. Sure, it probably sucks to be Ukrainian right now, but they're ~44 million out of ~7.8 billion. Maybe one day it will be our turn to be invaded, and that will be very bad for us, but I hope my inner pessimism won't be confused for what is really going on out there.
