I still have the memory card with my track times and everything completed with a gold trophy. Many many hours with PSX and WipEout when I was studying in Sheffield. One of the best zero gravity racing games of all time IMHO. Where to start from.. the soundtrack with all these electronic/techno tracks by the biggest names at the time, the artwork and aesthetics of the game (by The Designers Republic who were based in Sheffield), the gameplay and how the game feels (developed by Psygnosis otherwise known as Studio Liverpool) or the fact that the prototype of the game was featured in the cult film Hackers.

That’s true. The Clips/Replay (Clips being the ability to save a 30-second clip of the room and Replay being the ability to listen back to a whole room after it’s finished, for those who don’t know) was quite a big addition for a social network that seemed to have ephemerality as one of its big selling points. It’s difficult to know how it affected the app as it was added as the app had already started to lose users.

I agree — I really like the emoji responses you can give in a Twitter Space. Clubhouse does at least now have a chatroom for everyone in the room, including the audience, if the creator enables it.

> When the Kinect launched, Microsoft had trouble getting a critical mass of players that would attract developers

Developers generally disliked it. It just didn't work well as a game controller.

The Wii was much more practical. You still had a controller in your hand with physical buttons, which makes a big difference, and it worked as a fairly accurate pointing device. Those more than made up for the limitations of accelerometer-only motion control.
At this point competition is one of the great solution to this problem.
The relevant distinction is not "punching up vs. punching down", which is meaningless, but "punching at actual misuse of power or not". It's very rare that shaming is a useful tool, but it can work indirectly as a form of raising awareness where the "shame" is really just a ploy for virality. Harvey Weinstein, mentioned in the article, is a perfect example: he was engaging in behavior that was not only grossly unethical, but raised very real questions about actual legality. That's where "shame" can work for good.
Harry Markopolos's No One Would Listen. A bit over the top in places, but entertaining.
Super cool. Martin Kleppmann, the lead author on this paper, is the author of Designing Data-Intensive Applications, which I haven't read but have heard pretty awesome things about.

What I have done: watched his other talks about CRDTs (conflict-free replicated data types). I'd recommend watching this video [1] for an overview of what CRDTs are, why he cares about them, and open problems (one of which he solves in this paper!).

A (potentially inaccurate) TLDR: local-first collaboration software presents is a compelling alternative to the current way collaboration is implemented in a client-server model. Specifically: if we build tooling that makes it easy to build collaborative experiences into your app without a server, then we'll potentially be able to achieve the goals of 'decentralization' (or, fuck the middleman or whatever you wanna call it) in some real sense. Note that I'm not talking about crypto coins here!

Very cool, very exciting!

> People don’t walk into hospitals in 100+ square foot bubble suits for fun

You missed the point or don’t understand what induced demand implies.

> Do you realize you just described the importance of recognizing induced demand?

“Induced demand” is just supply and demand, there is nothing special. You didn’t understand supply and demand in the first place if you think this isn’t regular supply and demand curves.

Make a new passenger train that goes from LA to Vegas that takes 16 hours. Check the ridership. Now make it take 2 hours and check again.

Neither train “induced” the demand. It was already there because people travel between the cities (see the flights).

People who hide behind “induced demand” as an excuse just don’t want to admit that the demand is already there and they are just NIMBYs who don’t care about lower income people with families who need to commute for work. That’s fine, but at least admit it.

I wonder how much development is needed to make liquid-phase reactors useful, e.g. molten salt thorium cycle, or aqueous homogeneous? These seem capable of KW to low Megawatt-scale production, suitable for a small town or industrial plant.

I tried to design a neighborhood nuclear power plant based on aqueous homogeneous reactor[1]; it seemed pretty doable except for needing slightly enriched uranium and chemical engineering for handling fission and decay products. 40KW for a plant that fits on 1/10 acre or so. Good burnup so not much waste.

Another possibility is using decay heat to run small turbines. Short half-life products generate a lot of heat; this will maximize efficiency. Use helium or CO2 for working fluid. These could be used for local base load (what makes up local base load, heheh). The energy density is roughly equivalent to solar power (my hands are waving a little here).

5G also provides better spacial efficiency over LTE besides the spectral efficiency. So even without a forest of towers it'll provide better peak congestion performance than LTE. At the same time microcells/nanocells are more practical with 5G allowing companies to increase capacity in especially high traffic areas. For instance a couple high-band cells in popular public spaces. With LTE the only equivalent option was a lower power microcell that affected and was affected by nearby full sized cells.

There's plenty of marketing dreck and hype around 5G but there's also a lot of good engineering and real capability improvements over previous cellular systems.
No source either, but I believe it also has to do with the composition of our muscle fibers. Other apes have more powerful fibers, but this comes at the cost of less accuracy. Throwing requires both.
When I see something like this I have to ask "if these people had come up with this a decade ago, why did it take them two years into a global pandemic to actually try it?".
I assume you're from Turkey? I keep wondering how much the welcome for Syrian refugees was just due to the proximity, or more due to the geopolitics that Erdogan continues to play with them. Basically he holds the "I will release hordes of refugees" as a threat to the EU to extract billions in assistance payments and many other concessions from the EU. And it is a lot of cheap labour that can be exploited, and many women that can be married off to Turkish men.

Sorry to be so cynical but this is what it looks like from the outside.

> but for some people at least the syntax and keywords can be an enormous barrier. I suspect even more so for not-so-frequent developers

This is the key thing.

I think it's hard for developers to remember what it was like to not have this skill that allows them to take a problem, translate that problem into code, and then use code to solve it.

I think devs (because most of us love to write code) also forget that the end goal isn't to write code, it's to solve the original problem. This bias makes it harder to see the value of a visual tool for the non-dev.

When you think about code as a solution to a problem as a non-dev, something like this emerges:

- I have a problem/question I want to solve/answer

- It can be solved using code

- I don't understand code (yet)

- Now I have two problems: 1) The original one (the one that matters) 2) I don't understand code

In order to make any progress on the thing that matters, I have to also make progress on literally learning a language.

A reasonable objection to this might be "but the user still has to learn the low code tool", and this is fair. But the #1 thing that low code tools bring IMO is:

Discoverability. In a visual tool, I can see and try things. Blockly makes this explicit by showing you where and how things can be connected using visual language almost everyone already understands (puzzle pieces). That same kind of experimentation is only possible in code once you understand the syntax, but first you must understand the syntax, and before you understand the syntax, fight through syntax errors, interface compatibility, etc. The chances of abandoning the effort altogether are pretty high.

Thinking about learning more generally, visual aids are almost always at the center of the teaching process. The very earliest thing almost every human learns: spoken language - also involves a learning period where the child might first point at a picture/object, later say the word, and even later, learn how to write that word.

Even after understanding a language fully, humans still point at pictures to communicate on a regular basis to optimize the communication process. Just look at your local fast food restaurant's menu.

Too often, no code tools are evaluated as if they must be "better" or "worse" than code. But these evaluations are asking the wrong questions and fundamentally miss the reason these tools exist to begin with.
The crowd attracted to Clubhouse was mostly also on Twitter, so Twitter Spaces was a natural fit. I wouldn't be surprised if Twitter's purchase of and increasing integration with Revue has a similar impact on Substack for the same reason.
Regarding availability and LEDs:

"All commercially available Far-UV 222nm lamps have excimer lamps at their core. Excimer lamps are a lighting technology that excite a gas using high voltage electric discharges. Different gas mixtures generate different frequencies of light. Far-UV 222nm light is produced by excimer lamps filled with a mixture of krypton (Kr) and chloride (Cl) gas (normally less than 3% chloride)."

From https://www.boeing.com/confident-travel/downloads/CAP-3_Disi... provided in alliao's comment.

I was able to find one 5W lamp priced at around $1000 and a 20W at $1700.

> Far-UVC Light May Be Safe for Indoor Use

Emphasis mine. Look, this is promising, but the fact that they can only say it may be safe suggests that maybe we should ease off with the "zomg deploy it everywhere now!" type of rhetoric. I don't think it actually is, but good grief it feels like an astroturfing campaign in here right now.
> That device is SO much more engaging and approachable for kids than trying to teach them to use a controller.

I dunno. I had the original kinect for the Xbox 360 and the controls were wonky. A controller might be weird for a few hours but especially kids should be able to pick it up quickly and then it does exactly what you input, unlike the Kinect. However, I have watched multiple girlfriends struggle with 3D controller input so maybe it's just not for everyone and has nothing to do with kids?

The majority of the core 5G patents came from Qualcomm, Samsung, Ericsson, etc. Huawei filed a metric ton of land grab incremental patents on non essential details which is why they get less than 1% of 5G patent revenue.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1237450/global-ip-revenu...

What you’re doing is running with this nationalist rhetoric on the Chinese internet that China “invented 5G”. Sorry, but 5G was not invented by Huawei. It’s fair to safe they rushed how a huge deployment of the technology, but mmWave is economically inefficient and most of the 5G benefit for China was increased subscriber density.

The reality is, the US doesn’t have the subscriber density problem China does, we are far more spread out and mmWave is much more useless to us, so one of the core bragging rights of Huawei is not relevant for our use case. The other 5G bands <6Ghz are much better for the US.

> simply prohibitively expensive.

No, it isn't. Google wouldn't go out of business. I doubt that they'd even take a hit of a few percent in profit.
I'm not in a position to comment about what sorts of legal issues there might be. But Google is hardly the only company that hands down bans with scant explanation. It's endemic. I've actually not heard of a large company that gives detailed explanations in these sorts of situations. That leads me to believe there is a good reason for avoiding such explanations, since I would expect some variation in company behavior otherwise.
Your account would get suspended, and google would contact you to verify what happened, that your account did whatever it did, and if it was you or someone else doing that.

It's not the suspending that's the problem, it's the inability to find out why it was suspended, and the inability to get someone to reinstate your account.
But you see these stories again and again about Google specifically. The creator of Terraria was banned a while back and was also unable to get it corrected or get a real human to respond. You'd think if they are terminating accounts that are bringing in money they could put down the automation for one second and actually do the right thing.

Feels like the "gotta keep the wheels of capitalism turning" has lead to this. Maybe this is yet another kooky theory like the others I see here, but: government "printing" money to keep the economy running means corporations have so much cash but nowhere to invest, as well as lack of regulations ("Hey Senator, how's your reelection campaign going? Oh you need a few million dollars to give to the media companies to buy campaign ads? Let's go for a game of golf and we can talk, my private plane will pick you up.") that they've gone predatory...
Unfortunately, as of September of last year, Google Play's terms and conditions match Apple's App Store's terms and conditions, in that apps must use Google's payment method and cannot advertise or include links to alternate methods of paying for the app or distributing it.

Ultimately, these policies are meant to further restrict viability of competition by either company.
Disabling HDR is akin to buying a sports car and throwing your hands in the air when you can't figure out how to start it outside of eco mode. The same for any tweaking on the driver's control panel instead of on the display. Ultimately though the truth is when you go through all of that hassle (special input ports, special input names, advanced/hidden input settings, image adjustments) it still somehow comes out worse than it should be in terms of input latency and image accuracy.

I always have 2 wishes:

- For TVs to have a mode that just displays the signal according the reference mode of that signal (particularly for HDR) and not fuck with it to make it "better".

- For a decent selection of monitors that come with larger panels.
