Or anything for that matter. Write amplification or giving the computer "unnecessary, mandatory work" is one of the two big causes of poor performance despite ludicrously high performance hardware.

The other is latency. It's a metric that may as well not exist in the minds of 99% of developers or architects, but is the most important one by far.

If you ever wondered how it's possible to have 100 physical servers hosting an application that's glacially slow while no single part of the entire thing is running at more than 5% utilisation, these two are sufficient explanations most of the time:

Work amplification + ignoring network latency.

Have you not ever wondered why something like Jira takes 10-30 seconds of wall clock time to display an empty form with less than 1 KB of text displayed on the screen?

It's burning through 100 million CPU cycles per byte that it's showing you! That's how.

That... or its server is twiddling its thumbs waiting for the network 29.99 seconds out of 30.00 seconds.

What is Russia’s ‘MIR’ payment system?
What's awkward right now is how people in the west say "nazi" because some Ukrainians are wearing some pagan symbols while defending their land.

If it's the case that I just have a stone-age opinion because I was raised in rural Georgia by evangelicals or something, why not demonstrate understanding of my point, and then go on to explain why it's obsolete?

That's not what they're working on though. No one is dumb enough to try to make a central (and traditional) database/system for digital money. They could do it, and if they do it eventually will get hacked. They will use blockchain technology because of the security benefits (encryption, redundancy, validation). The part they're removing is the decentralized aspect.

Being able to make rank adjustments is an absolute GAME CHANGER. I didn't realise just how terrible my search results were until I could have granular control over the poor quality sites which kept appearing in my Google results. It's so clear to me now that Google is prioritising advertising heavily over user experience. The recent discussion about how such a large number of Google searches include "reddit" should serve as a warning for Google to swing that pendulum back in the direction of the user experience, or they will lose people like me. I'll be paying for Kagi when it's out of beta.

Sorry, your comment doesn’t quite have enough Red Menace hysteria. Could you mind dialling it up a little? Ideally, extrapolating from zero people, since asserting “society has a problem” from the political leanings of exactly one person seems almost like rigourous thinking.

You’ve already nailed the misrepresentation of the composition and purpose of an advisory body, so you can leave that part alone; the overwrought hyperbole there is already evident after a cursory check of what SAGE is.

Today we don't test anymore nuclear bombs by detonating them, we run
extensive computer simulations that had the welcomed side effect of
pushing the boundaries of HPC.
I am sure that there are lots of technicals hurdles to overcome before
being able to accurately simulate effect of pathogens, but we learned
a lot about viruses during this pandemic because we had a real push
to learn. Did we really need a pandemic to be able to investigate
biological phenomena that we could have been studied without putting
everything at risk?
I have no explanation for a bio-research lab that is unable to get rid
of deadly pathogens in its own research.

Hm, I think this reasoning is not always true.

The manufacturer could make a cost/benefit-analysis, concluding that building a machine that lasts approx. these 1000 runs but no longer, and paying for recycling afterwards is cheaper than building something that lasts and is recyclable.

Also, replacing it every ~200 cycles with just another cheaply built throwaway-machine could also become a viable business model. Why should the manufacturer care, if it becomes cheaper?

You could also make the manufacturer pay for recycling anyway - which is the case in the EU for several device classes IIRC, no need for a rental model to establish that. For some devices this means that the manufacturer has to take it back when you are done with it. The problem of course is that this is directly paid for by the customer - and by itself does not change anything.

But my argument is that it wouldn't for the rental model either.
i'd argue social networks only become evil if the want to grow revenue and earnings and more importantly keep growing them at some fixed rate y/y for too long (otherwise they get recategorized as value instead of growth and all the juicy multiples disappear from their stock grants...)
Government being about enforcement of property rights is a libertarian property-extremist pipe-dream. Governments used to be the only way for large groups of people to work toward a common goal, before private companies were allowed to form.

I fully agree that income tax is a drag on actual performers, and would much prefer property taxes.
Arguably it would be better than current solutions because you can upgrade the modules that need upgrading while keeping the stuff that works, instead of throwing out everything and starting over.
Good point, it's probably always been just a story and after a certain amount of bitter experience we eventually realise it is not true.

Eating lead is the worst case scenario when it comes to lead poisoning. Yes, your body will manage not to absorb much of the lead. But you can't seriously be suggesting that lead is safe to eat!

I'm not sure if maybe you were misinterpreting 'end up in food' in the post you're replying to. The GP isn't talking about the lead getting into the soil and then indirectly into the food supply. They're talking about the scenario where some little balls of solder are literally inside the sandwich you're eating.
They seem to be merely reacting to what general public opinion is (I assume their goal is to keeping their platform relevant rather than to shift what people think).

If there was a widespread negative reaction to what they are doing in the west (or amongst their target audience)I’m sure they’d quickly change their policy.

In France, it went all the way to where I don’t do any tax filing; the government does it for me, and sends me a PDF itemizing their tax, and automatically debiting it from my account.

There is no CBDC needed for that.

(In fact, all the article’s fears about payment prevention and free speech restriction are all possible without CBDC, and already in place in some segments that gained popular support, which minorities and SW have been complaining about across the decades.)

This is an excellent idea! Tracking individual articles for payment, rather than the whole publication/newsletter, would allow for bundling in a way that respects Substack's intentions of preserving/respecting the author and reader relationship.

I'm seeing some weird behaviour with that on both Chrome 98 and Firefox 97. Chrome seems to be displaying the JPEG, and when I right-click and "Open image in new tab", I get the raw bytes of the AVIF file, not any version of the image. In Firefox, it seems to be displaying the JPEG too, and when I right-click and "Open image in new tab", I get the AVIF file (as an image). Also in Firefox, probably a CSS thing, when the window is made smaller vertically (e.g. by the developer tools at the bottom), the image is scaled down vertically but not horizontally.

It’s a franchise but it’s notorious for getting mom and pop convenience stores to switch to being a franchise and then forcing them to stay open 24 hours and source most goods from 7-11. There’s sometimes articles about franchise owners working 20 hour days because they are required to stay open but don’t make enough money to pay employees. On the other hand franchise owners are allowed to tailor what they sell.

That's one way to look at it. Another way is to see that tracking will be backed up by efficient enforcement and control. That's more than a step further, that's something that completely re-organizes society.

You could argue that something like that is necessary in the 21st century, but besides the paranoia there's concern about who controls a system like that.

My interpretation is, the bill will remove liability shield for “online publisher” for CSAM. This then effectively means that no online platform may use end to end encryption to protect their user, for fear of liability.

Individual user, and those who own the content of their website, are free to use E2E if they choose to, whatever benefit that still gives.

Anticipation of this law feels like why Apple went through its CSAM debacle. Expect to see more content scanning after this passes. The CSAM DB Apple was said to be using will likely be “best practice” in how online service may get liability shield back.

I too don’t like how HN, FSF, EFF jumps straight to “encryption ban”. It spells fear that too much nuance will weaken their argument.
I have been able to control my weight as I want. I generally don't do much of the diet planning of the things, but I have a fixed routine and fixed diet. for example, In the morning I take a cup of a tea with snacks, for lunch I take two flat-bread, indian sabji/vegetables, and curry with rice, For dinner I have a lentil curry with two-flat breads and fried rice. I have a fixed routine time for these meals except for sunday.
Usually, I don't eat fast food, my whole diet is consist of milk and vegeterian food only.(you may check for Jain diet, but I do eat onion,potatoes and garlics)

When I feel like I am getting some extra weight and want to loose some, I will cut my carbs by cutting the portion of the food by 10-15% without affecting my energy level, it takes two-three days to adjust the feeling of hunger and then it is normal. The result mostly starts to be noticeable in 4 weeks.

When I feel like I got too skinny, I just increase my eating portion to adjust the weight in a month.
I have successfully changed my weight from 65Kg to 75Kg and vice-a-versa multiple times. My height is around 178cms, currently weight is 63Kg and feeling to increase the diet ;)
There is only one state named Ireland.
And it's not "Republic of Ireland" either. That is a disambiguation, not the official name of the state.
It'll be interesting to see how quickly it gets bought in. The experience over the years with the political flow of things like the surveillance state or financial repression, etc, is that when these systems for controlling people are bought in they are effective enough at hiding what they do, so they never really generate the outrage they deserve. It seems like it will be a routine thing for presidential candidates to be accused of corruption and investigated by the spooks during campaigns for example. It doesn't seem important enough to people that it would bridge the partisan debate.

CBDCs will probably happen in a similar way. Cheap and easy to implement. No room to make noise about the abuses because the people targeted won't have the money to defend themselves, let alone speak out in an unfavourable media environment being paid/given incentives/on board with the plan to Think of The Children. A lot like the how surveillance ended up the abuses are fairly quiet so people aren't really sure what specifically they need to fight.
It is very wishful to pretend that Russia can cut itself off from rich countries amounting to over half the world’s economic output and still come out fine. They are already incredibly poor by western standards, they will only get poorer.

Especially since an AirTag competitor existed prior to AirTags. Turns out if you have an existing network of billions of devices, you can offer a better working product.
You're way off. Detroit (which is not a suburb) went bankrupt, and 62 of the top 75 most populous cities do not have enough money to pay their bills, totalling a massive $333 billion in unfunded debt.

https://www.truthinaccounting.org/library/doclib/Financial-S...

Among most cities that declare, physical infrastructure is usually the least of their problems, it almost always is rooted in public employee pension guarantees that can't be met.

"Unfunded retirement liabilities are the main contributing factor to the $333.5 billion in city-level debt"

The two cities in the worst shape? NYC and Chicago, which are far more urban (and well-serviced by public transportation) than cities like Phoenix, Las Vegas or Anaheim which barely have any downtown urban core and are essentially just large glorified suburbs.

What exactly do you mean by smartphone on wheels?

Modern EVs have quite a lot of "smart" software functionality just like modern ICE cars. Both modern ICE and EVs have complex ECUs that may need proprietary equipment to service. Most are a lot less smartphone-like than Tesla though.

Our old Kia Soul EV is just like Kia Soul... but EV.

We're now upgrading to Hyundai Ioniq 5, which is a small iteration towards "smartness" compared to the Kia. You can remotely check charging status and start the heater/cooler from your phone, so it is connected and always online I guess. There are OTA updates, but only for infotainment, not for drivetrain like with Tesla. No camera inside the car. I seriously doubt Hyundai will do remote downgrades or deactivations. I don't know of any issues for independent mechanics.

"Tesla limits driving range through software then sell the vehicle at a lower price"

The battery is the most expensive part in the car, no way manufacturers would put them in and not expose them through software just to sell at a lower price point. That's just not how the world works.

Tesla, as well as every other long term lithium battery producer limits the amount you can use to protect the longetivity of the battery. Their company wouldn't do so well if after 3 years reports of severely degraded batteries started coming out.

It still supports the article's point, but it's a lot less malicious. You don't get to decide how much to drain your battery because Tesla has a reputation to maintain.
This is not limited to EVs - several "old school" manufacturers have not only put uplinks in their cars (obviously just so that the user can do fancy things remotely /s), but also introduced rental options, pay-as-you-go extras (BMW had a "pay 5k, get a few extra kW for a weekend"-thing once, don't know if it still exists).

Skoda at least (I expect all of the newer VWs, Audis, Seats, ...) use the built in mobile uplink to gather massive amounts of data about usage, e.g. how often the car is "pushed hard", or driven dangerously. Nobody knows exactly how they will use that, maybe to limit guarantees? - but if the cars is yours and yours only, this shouldn't matter, right? It shouldn't happen in the first place. Well, not anymore I guess.

The manufacturers will not limit these possibilities to a certain drive-train technology - why should they? It is also not limited to "newer companies", all of them will do it. Further, if the customer likes these models, the manufacturers (and increasingly more of them) will expand their offering.

Heck, the majority of cars on the street where I live are not legally owned anyway, they are all leased and people like that a lot.

I meant shipping activated AirTags as a “prank” or to otherwise cause chaos. People are already shipping individual activated ones to see where they end up.

Or if 500 separate people saw those news stories and each did it individually for legitimate package tracking, perhaps that would be a more believable situation.

Very beautiful, seems the ideal toy to teach kids how to play with technology in creative ways. It could be completed by kits with real pcbs and parts to turn the modular device into an useable functioning board. All software and firmware should also be 100% open.
Schools should seriously consider adopting it, although I fear the amount of engineering and design will probably keep the price very high.
> history has shown that slavery is unsustainable and that humans resist and succeed against it time and time again

The problem is that technology as a force amplifier is getting better and better. At some point it gives the 1% enough power and artificial smarts to enslave the 99% indefinitely. When people in history have overthrown slavery, the masters couldn't stop all transportation in the country (minus bicycles) with the push of a button. That's where we are headed here.

Isn't it more likely that 90%+ of people leave their devices on factory settings and don't want/care to understand or change them? I'd guess if you asked most of those people whether they'd want to be more likely to find their lost devices they'd answer yes, but you'd still have a tough time convincing many of them to actually go into settings to change anything
I am pro open-source, decentralization, etc, all the things. Still, the value of a network of iDevices with "default on airtag tracking" is just so huge, and if they convince me (and they did) that they handle my data properly (or rather they don't handle it at all), I'm fine with it. Issues like this battery drain are of course unacceptable but I trust that that will be fixed by Apple.
