But if that argument were sufficient, I could replace "North America" with "Santa Barbara" and achieve the same result, which I am sure everyone would agree is absurd. Somehow--and I realize appreciating the value of nuance can be difficult--there is some fuzzy boundary where you actually feel like the terms have meaning and the statement isn't lying. My maybe-naive assumption is that the original statement of having the tournaments be advertised, solicited, and maybe even held in various places around the world would make that feel comfortable.

I finally got around to reading this. Must the poor people in these stories always be cast so unsympathetically? I found it sadly depressing because, despite my means, I can’t imagine supplying anything that could unspiral these people.

It’s perhaps a big lesson in avoidance. And how cheap it is for society to prevent bad outcomes relative to undoing them.

Teams is in the realm of software forced on an entire company by clueless executives who are easily swayed by sales conmen on complimentary golf/ski trips, so they don't have to actually care about making it a good experience - a perfunctory checklist of barely-functional features that look good on a powerpoint is sufficient.

Why would there be hours of audio/video, and why would the employees be recording this? Presumably they're working, not holding up their phones recording. Or are you referring to security camera footage? But that wouldn't have audio, right?

This might seem unbelievable to us, most of whom work in comfy (home) offices where even the slightest hint of racism would be a fire-able offense, but blue collar work is different. People are much rougher around the edges. I'd like to believe this is false, or at least exaggerated, but I also don't have much trouble believing it's true. Human nature, left to itself, is not a pretty sight.
I did mention one hardware product in my list – Z-80 SoftCard (expansion card for Apple IIs which had an embedded Z80 CPU so they could run CP/M software)

Yes they still sell webcams:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-ww/accessories/products/webcams...

I don't think Microsoft had many software products for Apple IIs. A large part of the point of the Z-80 SoftCard was that then their CP/M 8080/Z80 product line would run on Apple IIs, without having to rewrite it for the 6502 CPU. The most notable Microsoft product for Apple IIs was Applesoft BASIC, which was a version of Microsoft BASIC shipped by Apple in the Apple II ROMs (and modified by Apple employees). In terms of Apple II packages Microsoft sold directly, only ones I know of are TASC (The AppleSoft Compiler), a compiler for Applesoft BASIC; and Multiplan.

They wrote more software for the Mac – first version of Excel was released for the Mac in 1985, first Windows version did not come out until 1987 – Excel for Windows 2.x came with a bundled version of Windows 2.x – prior to Excel, Microsoft's spreadsheet offering on DOS was Multiplan. Multiplan ran on a p-code virtual machine–inspired by UCSD Pascal, but using C rather than Pascal as the programming language (or at least later versions did, maybe some early versions actually were written in Pascal)–which made it easy to port to myriad platforms, including CP/M, Apple II, MS-DOS, Commodore 64, Xenix, UNIX, among others. (Multiplan also ran on Mac, on which platform it was a GUI rather than text-mode product; given that, I'm suspecting Multiplan on Mac was a quite different code base from Multiplan on other platforms.)

For what it's worth, Teams feel like it's haphazardly glued together from what's laying around, esp. in Linux.

Why restart the application if it cannot connect to the internet? Why can't I have native notifications? Why iOS app's notifications are unreliable?

I really can't believe the quality of this thing. While I don't like Microsoft, I agree that they can write semi-decent software. Teams is not one of them.

About the final point—are Macs really "high cost"? Looking at their current lineup, configured with a minimum of 16GB and 512GB:

M1 Mac Mini .......... $1099
M1 MacBook Air ....... $1399
M1 iMac ......,....... $1699
M1 Pro Mac Studio .... $1999
M1 Pro MacBook Pro 14" $1999
M1 Pro MacBook Pro 16" $2499

I'll restrain myself from listing the ways comparing Macs to PCs is not apples to apples. Unless you go for costly storage upgrades (which I agree are overpriced), all of these prices are pretty reasonable for a 4-year ownership period. Considering Macs are typically owned longer than PCs, I don't see how anyone that can afford comparable PCs or UltraBooks would be priced out of Apple products.
I thought it was interesting to think about what Clubhouse was displacing. It felt the most analogous to radio. So, what could you do if you had radio at internet scale? Or what would it take to make internet scale radio successful?

In my mind, it came down to how challenging it would be to produce and monetize content. It's non trivial work. Producing a good radio show that's worth listening to takes a lot of time and effort. Podcasts are a good example here. I think there's data out there that suggests most podcasts don't have more than 1 episode or survive the first year. Without a good way to monetize, it's not worth the effort.

So while easy in the short term for celebrities/influencers/celebrities/VCs to jump on the bandwagon, the effort wouldn't be sustainable or worth it to them in the long run, and then you have a content problem again.

I also experienced some dark onboarding patterns while I checked it out that make me suspect their growth numbers were a bit over inflated, in an ask for forgiveness later kind of situation.
While I know a little about written Korean, I am not familiar with the Korean pronunciation.

Nevertheless, according to Wikipedia, the Korean denasalized nasals are pronounced exactly like their oral counterparts, i.e. "b" instead of "m" and "d" instead of "n".

They use a special notation only because at their origin they were nasals and even now the denasalisation happens only in certain contexts and in certain cases the denasalisation is partial, the resulting sound being intermediate between the oral and the nasal variants (i.e. the nasal path is only partially open).
OLED doesn't have any new issues here compared to LCD. Both sorts of TVs will often have "black frame" insertion options, but I've never found the flicker worthwhile.

Smooth panning would be fixed by content being shot at something higher than 24fps, like you say; but I've seen that same jitter in theater screens for decades, it wasn't something that was designed to depend on CRT tech or such (like videogame lightguns).

TVs have been doing tons of "smart" picture processing to try to smooth out motion since so much content is so low frame rate. It just often looks fake!

I could not agree more, and this is where the largest gains at the least cost are to be found imho.
It's kind of a facile answer perhaps, but I think the answer is as simple as 'you cannot out-Google Google'.

The declining quality of Google results seems pretty clear, but only in relative terms. That is, Google now compared to Google in the past. In an absolute sense the service remains pretty great.

A confounding factor is that maybe the quality decline is in fact in internet content in general. That is, Google per se is as good as ever, it's just it's become much more difficult to find good results.

So, simply, the answer is perhaps that no matter the effort a competitor could put in they simply cannot outdo Google at their core competency. Perhaps for fundamental reasons, but even if not in some niche, surely then for sheer funding and scale reasons when trying to expand beyond that niche.

If a competitor to Google emerges, it'll be in some non obvious thing that is not core web search. Basically, when core web search becomes less important and Google can't pivot quickly enough to the new more important thing to compete.
My internet upload speed is bad so I do want something like that.

I would also like to be able to "stage" a backup: figure out what needs to be transmitted and then create the data files that need to be transmitted without actually immediately transmitting it.

That would allow me to do things like backup my laptop to another computer in my house that can upload the files over my slow connection overnight when my laptop isn't on; and to let me bring the backup files to a place (work/university/library) with a fast connection so large backups don't take days or weeks (especially initial backup).

Speaking of audio and video, this is what people said about US soldiers committing war crimes in Vietnam or Iraq, or police brutality against minorities in the US.

Then we get pictures of the My Lai massacre, or Abu Ghraib, or video of Rodney King and George Floyd. Actually your fringe tends to argue nothing wrong happened with Rodney King or George Floyd, or they were asking for it, fueling fires of the inevitable upheavals that follow.

> How many of these would there even be a market for?

True, but you can make the same point about much of the more recent software/services on this page – there probably isn't much market for them either. (Surely, if they'd succeeded in the market, Microsoft would not have killed them, so the fact Microsoft killed them is evidence of their market failure.)
Um, they are a charity?
It's strange to see "No code" being printed in bold as if that is the bestest feature everr!!!1!11oneone...

I get that simply having text to describe what you want a system to do can be intimidating at first, but once you look past the coloured blobs, you're really doing the same thing you'd be doing if you just called the instructions code. The process of thinking about a problem, mentally breaking it into its separate parts and turning it into a logic flow really isn't any different between writing the words yourself and dragging words encased in blobs around.

I don't understand why you think you have to hold the phone like you're interviewing the person to get a recording. You can just turn the recorder on and leave it in your pocket/bag.
My takeaway from this is pretty simple and perhaps the most boring answer but: it depends.

The biggest thing the author seems to say is that what we already have is “good enough” which might be true for them but isn’t applicable to many other people or applications.

The technology works better or worse depending on how it’s deployed. Not a huge shocker. Deriding the marinas Wifi doesn’t inherently mean it’s bad or good as a technology.

5G certainly oversold as revolutionary but it’s fine And has a higher upper bound for obvious reasons as a technology.
Interesting solutions for solving the "how do I hook up old systems to HDMI" problem.

"The Retrotink 5k is a little black box that you can hook any of your old consoles up to via Composite, S-Video, Component, or a SCART connector. The box itself houses some sort of top secret algorithm that takes the video from your console and applies all sorts of effects that make the resulting HDMI signal look just like it did on an ancient television."

> A lot of people don't have fiber options to begin with (especially rural users). I wonder if 5G/NR will give them better service than 4G/LTE.

The flip side to that is the "many rural users are at the edges of existing coverage networks".

A 4G network can reach about 10 miles (16km) - a 5G network is about 1000 feet or 0.2 miles (about 300 meters).

Unless the providers are placing these on every other power pole, most rural users aren't likely to see 5G coverage. For what it's worth, my parents' house is about 0.1 miles from the road and 0.5 miles from the next nearest neighbor.

I believe that it is unlikely that wireless 5G will get out there (they don't have 4G service either - they're in a valley and use a femtocell for home phone use).

They don't have cable or fiber either and switched from a load balanced pair of DSL lines to Starlink.

The far bigger issue is that France and Germany (especially Germany) have a chronic underspending problem on their military. They choose to spend on social programs instead. You can't claim leadership of a pan-EU army when you yourself don't even meet the 2% GDP spending target set by NATO.
I'm pretty sure he's referring to stuff like the "Baseball World Series", where in fact the US tends to have a hard time beating Japan whenever they're pitched against each other in actual international events like the Olympics (https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/58130125)

It seems to be a uniquely American thing, as far as I know. I've never seen any other country characterise their competitions as "World" instead of "National" competitions. (I'd be happy to be given a counterexample if one exists).

Unless the bay area is somehow more accepting of casual racism than the deep south I find that hard to believe. All of the blue collar jobs I had in Georgia and Tennessee would fire you on the spot for dropping an n bomb on company time. Hell, it's more likely to get you fired there than in white collar in the south since HR is way more likely to immediately just immediately jump to staffing changes in any compliant; it's cheaper than dealing with the subset that'll then into lawsuits.
The big problem was just app support. Everyone was writing apps for Android and iOS and maybe Windows or Symbian, but that was about it. Since many of these apps aren't something you can re-create yourself (WhatsApp, banking apps, whatnot) so that hugely diminished its usefulness, especially since this is when everyone and their mother was using WhatsApp, which never made a Maemo app.

This problem is even worse now. We're back where we started in ~2000 with Windows.

If farmers are able to pass on most of their cost increases to the market and some farmers close shop during the season, prices for output will likely rise.

Also, having secured fixed-interest debt during low interest times is advantageous to pay back during higher inflation times. I wouldn’t be so sure that big operators will automatically struggle. Maybe more than another operator with zero debt, but my understanding is that farmers very commonly use loans for normal operations.
Hoping my sarcasm detector is misfiring here, I still want to engage with this comment.
Can you explain to me how zoning law does anything to change the reality that poor people are being outbid by large corporations when attempting to buy their homes? If the land were zoned for anything, how would this change the fundamental truth that a large corporation with access to capital can outbid poor people whose largest assets are the homes that are being taken away from them? If there were more competition in the mobile home market, okay cool, now the people trying to buy their land are fighting against even more corporations? Really hoping this was supposed to be a funny and I'm not getting it.
According to the article, it is not:

"The efficacy of different approaches to reducing indoor virus levels is usually measured in terms of equivalent air changes per hour. In this study, far-UVC lamps produced the equivalent of 184 equivalent air exchanges per hour. This surpasses any other approach to disinfecting occupied indoor spaces, where five to 20 equivalent air changes per hour is the best that can be achieved practically."

For a better understanding, 184 exchanges per hour would mean one exchange per 19 to 20 seconds on average. For a room 5m wide, that would be a windspeed of 0.25m/s if one actually, physically exchanged the air in the room. That would be almost (or maybe already) perceptible.

"Whether it's Netflix, games, Office/Photoshop, obscure drivers, whatever... I can just run an app and expect it to work, and if it doesn't, it's not my problem. I'll wait a while and someone else will fix it.

I don't have to tweak obscure config files or apply patches or sideload package manager repos."

I am not sure what you mean.

I have been a linux user for the last 25years and I haven't had to apply any patch manually for the last 15 at the very least, nor looking for obscure drivers.

A config file is the same as an option/settings menu, with the advantage that it is usually much better documented.

Nobody told you that you can watch netflix on Linux as well as running games, use office and powerful photo editing apps as well?
Magnetic amplifiers have been in use long past WWII, they were never obsoleted by War's end.

For example, many stage lighting systems still use them. For example, the Sydney Opera House which opened in 1973 with the latest equipment used them for its stage lighting dimming (although they have now been replaced with solid state dimmers).

Magnetic amplifiers are wonderful devices albeit a bit slow for some applications. Moreover, unlike SCR and other solid state switching, they produce no RF switching noise.
