Just my 2 cents, but worth noting I do run a retail business and about 20% of our revenue comes from old electronics we refurb in-house.

The reason that spare parts are so expensive has nothing to do with the cost of logistics or the scale of mass-production. The warehouse can simply order an extra pallet of parts and leave it on a rack as spares. Hell, this is probably what all of these businesses do.

The real reason the pump costs 100 pounds is because the customer has no reasonable alternative, so they will (begrudgingly) accept that before spending 400 pounds on a brand new machine.

If they found out the specific part number of the pump and ordered something compatible from an alternative supplier (I used to go to this effort when younger), it generally ends up costing around 1/5 of the price of an official one.
The CERN CMS magnet is a 10,000 ton superconductor. 6-meter diameter and 13-meters long.

For the vast majority of materials (of any size), strange things do happen when you hit the critical temperature. You can take any amount of mercury for example and when it hits 4.1 K it loses all its electrical resistance.

Hard drives are not the only items that can contain information.
Just saw this, thanks for your comment.
Without restricting pretty heavily how you can interact with files or causing severe bottlenecks it's the best that can be done probably, since the FS API doesn't provide any real guarantees about what data WILL be written later, or how much of it, etc. So it has to figure things out as it goes with minimal performance impact.
This sounds like bikeshedding. I also wonder if this is really about camelCase vs snake_case etc, or is there something else going on that is being battled out through these irrelevant things? This might be more of a personal/team issue than a technical topic, and if it is you should focus on solving that.

But if it really is a technical question I would suggest to try to make the most objective decision possible, so list your goals, list pro/cons of each option, make a decision matrix, decide, move on. If it's purely subjective a vote could work, but then someone might lose, idk how well that does, I would just go with the "mainstream" option.

The other option is for you to just decide and take the conversation to goals; I assume you are trying to build something and most of the things you describe will not impact the end result in any way. Motivate people to focus on the things that make impact.

I feel you on the hiring bit, there's such a glut of resume padders, bullhockey purveyors, enterprise leftovers in .Net it's hard to find good people (especially in the US). If you put feelers out to any recruiting firm you'll receive a who's who of people no one will hire. There's also not much of a community to speak of compared to other platforms (what community there is is spread out across numerous platforms or centered around MS, github) so there's not really anywhere you can post your jobs and expect a positive result.

> People really do seem well-suited to living in small and homogenous groups, not billions upon billions in a global civilization.

Humanity has done and is doing far better in the multi-billion person global civilization (whatever that means) than in small homogenous groups, by any measure you can imagine, by many orders of magnitude. There is no comparison.

And in fact, most of the remaining problems are due to people trying to divide others into homogenous groups.

> Would you prefer to hit a "Check for Notifications" button or would you prefer to just get a notification. The latter option has a million times better UX.

I would a love a button for every action. Particularly for things like check for notifications. The current problem is that someone else believes they know what a better UX is, any by better they mean better for the company for whatever reason.
But the source for the hacks could be made open, so that other people could work on it.
I just don’t think that argument is viable. They provide ongoing highly valued services people choose to pay for. Advertising for Google and Facebook, retail and hosting services for Amazon, physical products and online services for Apple, etc. They employ hundreds of thousands of people, are constantly updating and extending their products and services. That’s all serious work done by actual people.

I’m not justifying everything they do, or all their business practices, but if these companies didn’t provide those services someone else would. There’s a genuine need.
Residential ISP policies on port filtering, NAT, and lack of IPv6 uptake are also to blame. The average consumer doesn’t care about any of that though, as long as FB, Netflix, and a handful of other sites load. Today’s internet may as well be interactive TV.

> For example where I live trains will have a 1h delay (sometimes there are buffers that you can use to reduce the delay, or you cancel trains that anyway only run in the time window that is missing) when “springing forward” and will take a 1h break in the middle of the night when “falling back.” The schedule itself doesn’t change. Seems weird to me, but it is how the business rule is.

The ferries near me essentially keep the offset for the whole sailing day. The sailing day starts around 5 am, and has a number of trips; service has been reduced during covid, so typical last sailing times are around midnight or 1 AM, but when service continued through DST changes, a 2:30 AM ferry would sail an hour after 1:30 AM, regardless of what local time was then, and so on. The time between the end of Saturday's sailing day and the start of Sunday's sailing day varies due to the time change however. But we don't have 24 hour ferry coverage, so it's easy to keep the schedule aligned without adjusting service.

There are many more people who are capable of translating from Korean to Dutch than actually do because no one does. Just like no one does for Swedish, Norwegian or Danish. There must exist members of the professional class in those countries who don’t speak English at a high level but they’re really rare. In international business they’re going to be non-existent. The top third of students in Germany in their grammar schools (Gymnasium) read novels in English during their studies. Germans have worse English than the Dutch and Nordics. This is just a terrible example to try to prove your point.
I mean, isn't that what it's always been?

To remain competitive, shipping will need to re-tank to burn tropically synthesized (most likely) anhydrous ammonia, which will soon be cheaper even than bunker oil. Ships still burning oil will find increasingly fewer ports open to them.

The west-African coastal Sahara, coastal Peru/Bolivia, Baja California, Arabia/Sudan/Eritrea, Yemen/Oman/Pakistan, Socotra, and north-western Australia all look like good places to site solar-driven ammonia synthesis. I don't doubt that less geographically-favored sites will dominate instead.
This is actually the root of the problem, the address bar behavior in my firefox config always gives me the first hit as one of 2 options:

1. Base url of a website (in my case, it only searches bookmarks, but if you enable search history it will match to base url of historical searches as well)

2. If it can't find a match, then it defaults to a web search

What I want is for it to match full url's from either the history or bookmarks, but this does not seem to be an option

Patronage ala Rockefeller. Putting everything at the mercy of the free market will only lead to getting eaten by the Goliaths of that sector. Amazon sold its first book in 1994 but didn't make a cent in profit until 2004.

Bandcamp was never going to survive on its own with its incredibly limited selection of mostly niche artists. Hell, Apple Music couldn't survive on its own when it was called Beats Music.

How could it, when numerous indie distributors before them were eventually swallowed up by the behemoths? Independent Digital stores like eMusic and CDNow came and went in the 00s. Before them it was indie labels and specialty record shops, all eventually swallowed up by a bigger player once the landlord raised the rent.

> You don't "hit barriers to population growth" they're more like asymptotic limits, derived from relativity.

For a civilisation at our level of technological development, I think the limits are primarily classical rather than relativistic.

Relativity is more of a limit when you start to run out of resources within the Solar System - a quite distant prospect at present - it makes it very expensive to spread to further star systems; and then once you run out of resources in the galaxy, intergalactic travel is so ludicrously expensive you have to doubt it will ever be practical. My speculative scenario was about the next couple of centuries, while interstellar colonisation (if it ever happens) is likely many centuries distant.

> which spread across the entire internet

It's hard to remember the personal impact of this even having lived through it. I think a lot of homes (esp. those with children and/or adult in teaching, design, or business) had computers, but even by late 1988, most probably did not connect to any network, and nearly all of those that did connect somewhere did only to various BBS and services like The Source, CompuServe and AOL. There were viruses transmitted by floppy for some time and it was a minor headache, but I do not recall if in 1988 The Source et al. had an Internet portal. I think the content of the publicly available 2400 baud Internet then (which for a private individual would be accessing newsgroups through a service on dialup) then was probably text, maybe a lot of slow steamy pictures, email, demos and pirated games. I suppose the DoD, NSF, and similar may have been heavily using the Internet then in interesting ways beyond email and ftp servers, but I can't think of what else in 1988 they might have been doing on the Internet (other than getting pwned, of course).

Pardon, but you're completely lost. The service knows your mobile phone number because the app requires you to provide it in order to activate your Signal account. After you've provided your mobile number the Signal service sends you an SMS with a verification code, and the app asks you to enter that code. Your account is unusable until you comply with this procedure. Since the service is passing messages between users, those who run the service also know which people communicate with eachother - because a valid mobile number is tied to each and every Signal user account.

I have no idea what you're rambling about regarding people having "reversee engineered the application". There's no reverse engineering required, as it's entirely open source.

https://elbo.ai - Train more. Pay less

We want to make ML tasks as cheap and as easy as possible. We can provision GPU nodes from multiple cloud providers (today we have 4 - TensorDock, AWS, Linode and FluidStack). You don't have to sign up with them, manage keys or passwords, AMI Images, VPCs, Subnets, Firewall rules, EBS volumes or worry about Colab closing your session, network transfer bills, GPU usage approvals, opening ports, billing surprises. We take care of all that and let you focus on learning ML.

I faced the same problem when I started learning ML and tried different cloud providers, Colab, Paperspace, custom PC with RTX30 series GPU. Most of the solutions were either very expensive or very complicated. I started building a tool for myself to deploy GPU nodes with a single command and thought it would be a nice product to have for other ML learners like me.

1. Sign up at https://elbo.ai for the free tier.
2. `pip3 install elbo`
3. `elbo login` with your token (from signup)
4. Jupyter Notebook in a single command in under 4 minutes (typically)- `elbo notebook`
5. Setup a GPU node to work remotely over SSH using `elbo create`
6. Submit ML tasks defined in a YAML file using `elbo run --config <config_file>`

Sure - Regulations need to be a balancing act, though.

Without any - Folks will cut every corner they can to save money, which leads to lots of negative externalities.

With too many - there's no reason to offer a compelling product, because the regulations define such a static status quo.

Both of those are bad. You need a healthy mix.

I’m not a Wordle player so I was confused about why they’d shut down the archive part of their acquisition.

Reading closer, the “Wordle Archive” was a Wordle clone site that allowed people to play old Wordles.

No surprise that they’d be asking clone sites, especially those using both the trademark and exact content, to shut down. You can’t expect to clone Wordle, call it Wordle, use the Wordle words, and expect the Wordle owners to look the other way. This seems like a non-story.
Unfortunately I think they have little choice. If you don't enforce a trademark then you risk losing it.
