They didn't make any indication that it's good to use the word, but rather that self-censoring to mitigate the knee-jerk reaction of ignorant people is not good.

> If a word is bothering someone why don't you find out why, instead of explain to them why it shouldn't?

It's perfectly fine to explain why a word is not malicious because the person who initially misunderstood then acquires that knowledge and can then make the distinction. To go with the alternative promotes a pattern of behavior where, eventually, many words end up being forbidden from use all due to ignorance.

Just because two words sound kind of similar, or are even homophones[1], doesn't make them synonymous. This should be common knowledge.

1: Even the word "homophone" is a prime example, as it was used by someone on the Ellen show which led to the host getting upset because she mistook it to mean something completely different.

Dual booting has become basically impossible to do with M1 Macs. Support might come at a later date but between Windows arm licensing issues and Apple staying quiet on driver support, it’s essentially dead for now.

> America is blessed as far as this crisis goes. Virtually everyone else will hit it first.

This doesn't pass the smell test. Human productivity hasn't been a function of food calories and muscle mass (i.e. healthy 15-35yos) for at least a century.

While America might have a marginally younger population than China or Germany, it is not even close to competitive in terms of actual productivity. Among the younger generations there is a lot of confusion and feeling lost. Anecdotally, almost everyone from my high school graduating class -- young people! -- are floating aimlessly through university, dead-end service jobs, or unemployment. They are not "productive" in any real sense of the word. Unless there is a revolution in public policy and culture within this decade, America will face a genuine economic crisis long before Germany or China. Many parts of America (Rust Belt) have been feeling it for over a decade.

Looking solely at the two-dimensional demographic chart is a fatal error in the 21st century.
The same question can be asked about JavaScript, but it's still one of the most popular languages in the world :) It's a common wisdom to use a language you know best for an MVP - that's the main reason it's Scala.

And it's not a framework, so you don't really need to write/read any Scala to play with it.
Yeah but then you will freeze in the winter or starve to death first. I mean by all means buy a decommissioned nuclear bunker and setup solar and download as many videos you can about growing food etc... This is sort of the level of preparation you might need to take.
And it looks like it's becoming increasingly difficult to avoid these services when applying for a mortgage.

Chase is guilty of this.

I went to a Chase branch a few years ago to ask about a mortgage. The banker put my SSN into the computer, and told me the computer said no. No questions about my income, no request for financial statements or account balances, or anything. Just that the computer said not to bother continuing the process.

I asked my accountant about this, and she said it was because of the way my income was structured, and that the computer "pre-approval" process has no way of understanding most of my six-figure income because my life isn't so simple that I can use a plain old 1040-EZ.

I'm sure that some banking middle manager sees these "AI" systems as wonderful things that reduce risk, or cut expenses because human beings are no longer needed to make decisions. But they hurt real people and contribute to the ongoing housing crisis. But, hey, as long as some MBA can use his budget-trimming bonus to buy a second boat, that's all that matters.
My first VR experience was in 1992 (Dactyl Nightmare!) and I thought for sure it was going to be the next big thing. Thirty years later, I think the VR market is pretty big and might be plateauing. There are millions of headsets out there - enough for a lot of software companies to make money. Does it still need exponential growth?

Or maybe it's going to take a company like Apple to really figure out VR. As you pointed out, it took them two swings at the pocket computing problem over 15 years to really nail it. Maybe the VR headset trajectory will be similar - semi-successful product in a year or two and then 15 years from now, something really great.

I mostly believe the first thing I said is true - the VR market is pretty big and is only a failure if you were expecting iPhone-like success.

AR, on the other hand, is going to blow up but probably not with anything head-mounted. For example, my car projects information onto my windshield when I drive. I think that qualifies as an AR device.
If you are highly worried about the US market / currency crashing or devaluing then I think it does have some value to talk about. I don't have any benefit at all from anyone investing in Monero. Personally I think gold/silver are a more reliable "alternative" investment if you want to keep assets out of the US banking system (or stocks) since they are fairly universally valued and you can physically transport as needed.

Yeah, big sigh here. So, a bunch of things. First (and to be fair to NXP), a secure microcontroller is a hard problem, with tricky bits in both hardware and software. And it remains to be true that the LPC55 is pretty good at a bunch of things that we need (e.g., a PUF).

Second, while it's true that we're (obviously?) not entirely satisfied with the LPC55, we have worked around the vulnerabilities we have found -- and the alternatives that we have found aren't better. In particular: there appears to be no alternative that is at once robust, mature, secure, and entirely open. And even in the RISC-V ecosystem, there is a disconcerting trend towards proprietary boot ROMs (!!). We definitely welcome alternatives though, so please prove us wrong on that front! (That said: any alternative will be too late for our first product; we will have the LPC55 in our system for at least the foreseeable future.)

In terms of the BigCo's having "opened" their solutions, they haven't really (sadly). OpenTitan -- which we were really bullish about! -- only existed as an FPGA during the time we were trying to build on it. We actually wanted to make a go of making a secure FPGA -- but the problem is harder and the ecosystem is more proprietary than with secure microcontrollers. There are (or were) "plans" to make an ASIC, but we were asked to pony up $500K to join the lowRISC Foundation to find out what those plans were. (!!) To be blunt: that's not open -- it's open-washing. (I hope OpenTitan has seen or will see the error of its ways and opened up an ASIC roadmap -- it's an important effort and we would like to see it succeed.)

As for the other BigCo's, of the ones that I know about, they are either not using an RoT (!) or are using one that's strictly proprietary (i.e., no idea) or they are using the (wait for it...) LPC55.

So, yeah. Big sigh. tl;dr: We would welcome something better; we need to live with the LPC55; we would love RISC-V to not repeat a bunch of proprietary mistakes; we would love OpenTitan to be ActuallyOpenTitan.

I can actually relate to this, especially when personalization is applied in search.

However our stats and a\b test results show that personalization improves overall store conversion, ctr and other important metrics in ecommerce. And seeing how it's applied everywhere now (you social netwroks, ads, etc), the majority of users are engaging better with it.

Some sites opt to include a 'disable personalization' option, that might do the trick for some of the users
I don't think that's an 'other' meaning as much as a natural extension. It's not about planning or not planning. It's not about being a master of your own journey.

It's about being able to identify what you can and what you cannot control, focusing on the can control and just letting the rest occur. This is something I struggle with.

I see things, constantly, that are just rage inducing in terms of how stupid they are and how the problems they cause impact my life negatively. And I can't do anything about them. Yet I still spend time being negative, anxious, or otherwise focusing on them. It doesn't help, the problems still happen, and I spent time ruminating about them.

The existence of the Ford fiesta model won't necessarily make a Lamborghini cheaper, but it does make the category "car" more affordable and provides an option for people on a budget.

The same applies to concerts.

Woodstock, due to various factors is able to charge a premium, but that doesn't mean you can't go to other concerts.

As more and more concerts are held, the premium that Woodstock can command is held in check, because people have other options.

You're conflating "3dof" with seated.

I'm similarly space constrained a lot of the time but 6dof is still my bare minimum requirement.

Head movements of 1 or 2 cm matter for immersion. It's not about running round a large play space.

Seated VR needs to be 6dof as well

About the same age, and I don't think there has been a point in my life where I didn't think the economy was on the verge of collapse.

Sorry I cant follow. I was arguing for quite the opposite, just assuming something will help wont make it so. We know there is heart damage as well as long covid even in low and asymptomatic cases. Sure you can bet that the vaccines will help there as well, but how confident are you in that? Because as far as i know nobody promised anything of the sorts. It is a leaky vaccine, you still get sick, you just get lung antibodies so you dont end up on intensive care.

Are you really willing to risk both on the grounds that it might or might not help? I would say if you dont know, you assume that its not a magic shield and adapt your behavior accordingly. Which means so you dont catch it.
Wow, that sucks fiercely. I can't imagine dealing with that on a regular basis. Every night! I wouldn't sleep much either. Damn.

I'm actually thinking it makes a lot of sense to convert those dungeon crawlers (Dungeon Master for example) to VR. I'm wondering how much work is needed. One definitely needs to remodel the whole world and create new models for the monsters and items so it's essentially making a whole new game, plus a lot of gameplay code needs to be "converted" to VR. And how does one limit the actions of players in VR?

Catch-33 if that’s a thing: the fed cannot raise rates too far or else the interest payments due on the US national debt would raise so far as to cause the US to default.
It's so manipulative to 1) use income and 2) break society into those low brackets of <$50k, $50-100k, and $100k+... as of they aren't all working-class people.

That might be where people are starting to escape the working class and enter the middle class, but certainly not "rich" or "high" class, as the article suggests. If your family has a net worth of $2-4 Million and are making $100-200k/yr, then you might... own one Arby's franchise.

I like Arby's and kinda wish I had that for lunch, but folks who own one Arby's are not exactly major competitors in the world of capitalism (in an individual sense). They're the middle class (to the extent that one even exists). Those are people who - together with many other small businesses - could form a community that shapes the market and provides a strong stabilizing force... but they're still "consumers."
The best (and the only working) way of data protection is to never send the data. GDPR is a crude hack compared to that.

This is a straw man. I've never been talking about the people who aren't bothered by the jokes in question here because they're not personally carrying the baggage I'm referring to.

Basic things like rolling deployments are still considered "labs" features.

I moved a 1M monthly visitors project from Heroku to Render in December, and other than a few little hiccups, I have a better service (no hard-cap on memory for ex) for less than half the price.

Every place I ever worked at understood that if you x3 the codebase/infra/interaction surface/etc, you can expect x3 errors. If the total number of errors don't go up as you grow you're doing amazing, and if they go down even though you're landing more and more code for more and more features and subproducts, you have a genuine miracle.
"The military has always had the same pretty much the same posture towards Russia wrt threats and nuclear deterrents."

That's not my understanding.

I'm far from an expert, but from what I've read there was a radical change in the US military from a focus on large-scale warfare to small-scale warfare focused on urban combat and quick responses to multiple small threats.

There are also way, way less nuclear weapons (on both sides) than there used to be. I think there were something like 30,000 nuclear weapons in the US at the peak of nuclear proliferation, and now there are closer to 5,000 (and roughly the same in Russia).

So the military posture of both countries has definitely changed.

Unfortunately, it seems we're headed back towards a Cold War, if not a hot war... so the arms race is likely to heat up and preparations for large-scale combat will likely increase.

This will make the world a much more dangerous place.
Well, NMR has been doing that for quite some time but nobody considers it "computing". Realistically, you're encoding a problem within a physical system by perturbing its energy levels, letting them evolve, and then doing readout. This works because computation is universal.

> it for a bond. In monetary terms, it's destroying cash.

Too lazy to search for the exact link but I seem to remember reading some editorial in the financial section of The Economist about 3-4 months ago where they were saying that bonds are sort of cash-like, or were sort of cash-like when that article was written and when the papers on which that article was based had been written. If that premise were to hold true (even in part, meaning bonds are sort-of-cash), maybe most of the "rules" economists have written down until now when it comes to the cash vs. bonds relationship would need to be re-written.

For the matter, I don't take much of what it's written down in The Economist at face-value anymore but their financial stuff is still pretty spot on.
