That's totally what happened. We are in a renaissance of artistry, of artists creating meaningful art out of conviction, and making a living.

"innovation in the space is only accelerating"

They mispelled infinite exploitation of people who are greedy or desperate to believe in something. A common mistake. Pushing ticking timebombs on people as investment and fanning the hype machine, if not outright manipulating the markets can be called innovation, but innovation should involve societal gain too.

Let me share an example of actual innovation. Imagine if you will a database technology that allows encrypted data to be searched and the server to be untrusted, not having the ability to compromise the data regardless of how curious or malicious the server is. This is a very complicated problem, but it would allow for companies with services like Facebook to not have access to your data, unless you shared it, while still being able to operate the service. You would still have to trust third parties or the government to store your encryption keys, and perhaps to ensure the freshness of your data, there is no such thing as zero trust, but we wouldn't have to trust as many parties. We could create a trust infrastructure every new service can benefit from.

This kind of technology would compromise the business model of many companies, but isn't it the goal of Web 3.0 to give ordinary people more control over their lives, their data? I suspect the actual goal of it is to create a use for cryptocurrencies, or maybe find another avenue for growth and exploitation. Don't get me wrong, make as much money as you can, but do something useful. Do something people actually want or need. Don't just wantonly and reclessly exploit them. Create some damn value, something your mama would be proud of.
I feel like there was a lesson about just-in-time inventory for critical supply chains recently. Perhaps a product as complex, sophisticated and absolutely necessary for a modern society should have government guarantees.
Because he keeps going around saying that in public, there was a recent request for a restraining order to stop him from repeating it since it poisons the jury pool. It quoted the US District Court's ruling from 1 April of this year[0]:

"the evidentiary record demonstrated that no reasonable jury could find Musk’s tweets on August 7, 2018 accurate or not misleading. Likewise, given that Musk was intimately involved with the facts leading to that conclusion, the Court also held that he recklessly made the statements with knowledge as to their falsity"

Which is to say, a federal judge has ruled that it was inaccurate, and he knows it was inaccurate.

I think this type of thinking, while relevant, ignores other hidden costs associated with off-shoring the majority of our manufacturing.

1. The environmental costs are not insignificant with both the lack of environmental regulation and added ocean shipping (yes, I know people are tired of hearing about environmental impact)

2. The humanitarian cost of offshoring our manufacturing is not insignificant. We may not have the best humanitarian track record in the world, but we aren't setting up suicide netting or sending manufacturing to Uyghur prison camps.

3. NAFTA has increased income inequality

Don't get me wrong, I think a certain amount of global trade is not only necessary but healthy. It strengthens treaties and national ties. This reduces war risk and national coalitions... all good things. But a certain amount of self interest and a healthy middle class bolster our own country. We have lost our ability to stand on our own two feet for any amount of time.
A joint venture with Fox News where every 15min they switch between liberal and conservative pundits would have been interesting. Imagine the drama when folks get up for a drink, come back, and sit down to somebody saying the polar opposite of what the person before had been saying.

> There's a mild expectation that if a Chinese / Taiwan fight were to occur, US Marines might be forced to make landings in the Chinese mainland to destroy Chinese land-based missile forces and even the odds.

That sounds remarkably unlikely and irrational. If China touched the US mainland it would mean immediate full-scale war, the opposite should be assumed.

This looks so damn interesting and cool, but I'm still trying to wrap my head around the concept of a "bank for developers". I get payment processors, like Stripe, but this is a level or two below that, right?
> There’s nothing wrong with their definition of text document.

I think we can agree that it could be more specific. Me and OP read "text document" and hear "plain-text file".

The article talks about using Word. If someone sent me a Word document and called it a "text document" I'd look at them cross.

You don't think that information would leak if it was happening? There are no national security letters here, no FISA courts, all of this would come out in court.

Gossip alone says there's no way any of that stays secret.
And its something you want to do for security reasons anyway, since linux by default isn't encrypting swap partitions. Putting swap on an LUKs encrypted partition is a bit of a PITA but allows one to hibernate/resume without fear that ones private keys end up in plaintext stored on a disk.
>You can't stop sprawl just by upzoning, but maybe you can slow it.

Population growth appears to be leveling off globally, which implies that if sprawl was slowed enough it could be stopped completely.
Some manufacturing can presumably be spun up with not too much effort if you have other heavy industry around and access to raw materials. Chip fabs require way more than retooling a line. We could quantify the problem as the amount of time it would take to bootstrap a domestic industry if the current suppliers turned off the spigot.

The cable is included, so there is USB-C on the end of the stuff that comes in the box.
While I do agree that e-waste is a real problem, it’s not like we can just sit with old tech and say “nah, that’s good enough.” We need both more and better fabs, and better waste handling / recycling.

> Anderson Cooper (as far as I know) is a very popular show

No, it's not a very popular show. Anderson Cooper is last amongst the three major primetime cable news shows. For example, for the week ending March 30th at the 8 PM slot you have (Total Viewers in thousands) [0]:

Tucker Carlson Tonight: 3676

All In W/ Chris Hayes: 1445

Anderson Cooper 360: 890

Now keep in mind that >300,000,000 people live in the United States. So, not that many people are watching cable news to begin with. And definitely not that many young people who may subscribe to a streaming service instead of cable. I don't think there is any sizable market for a streaming service of Anderson Cooper.

I think we mostly do that to ourselves.
I think there's probably some insight in this quote from the article:

It's probably less a tech spend and more of on-air talent and content spend. I believe they already had a streaming app so presumably they would have leveraged that existing work. This being said it is still an eye-popping sum for an entry into an already overcrowded market.

Apple replaced the trackpad on a 2017 non-retina MacBook Air for me in-store last month. It was $130. $51 parts and $79 labor ("HARDWARE REPAIR-LEVEL 1"). They are definitely capable of on-site hardware repairs. Further, if the repair doesn't fix the problem, it's no charge.

My only annoyance with Apple this time was that this MBA was like one month past its Applecare expiration and Apple wouldn't provide any sort of "customer good will" exception. My sob story about how much money I've spent with Apple going back decades was met only with: "sorry, policy."

I don't know why OP had such a different experience. Seems like a misdiagnosis if the kiosk person was able to repair it so quickly.
I assume that means Column can offer lower costs, or something?
The reality is that airships are kinda crap:

1. they get "free lift" but you need a lot of gas to lift a lot of mass, which quickly makes them extremely unwieldy as it leads to gigantic cross sections (and sheer stuff to move, positioning a lift bag the size of a sports stadium is not exactly great, and requires humongous engines)

2. they're so damn slow

3. even ignoring the tendency to get on fire, hydrogen is a pain in the ass, it absolutely refuses staying put and embrittles structural metals leading to accelerated fatigue

How does paying $1020 as opposed to $1000 affect the environment?

As with anything, complaining is the easy part indeed. I don't have the answers either.

The funny thing is that hoards of people will come to defend a rich dude who really doesn't need it while poor people constantly get fucked over and could use a little bit of defending.

One improvement could be to just have a higher tax bracket (like the US had decades ago) and build more stuff for the common good. What doesn't help is that from my side of the big pond, the US sounds like a third world country if you are below middle-class. Can't judge if that is true for myself, but hey.

> That sounds remarkably unlikely and irrational. If China touched the US mainland it would mean immediate full-scale war, the opposite should be assumed.

Then your assumptions need to be set appropriately.

That is: China will have its full set of highways and railroads in-tact to deliver missiles to the US Navy. That will be the US Navy fighting at a severe disadvantage.

Furthermore, US Marines will largely be sitting around doing nothing. Having additional troops from a separate branch of the military doing __SOMETHING__ would at least help even the odds. (Marines do have some ships, but the Marines specialized in Sea vs Land situations, not sea vs sea kinds of battles)

-------

In any case, the Taiwan situation is a very difficult fight to think about. US Navy will be at a severe disadvantage in almost every concievable scenario, and its difficult to see how other branches (US Army, US Air Force, or US Marines) can help in a significant manner. (Sure, some islands here and there can station some US Air Force, US Army can also station some troops in Taiwan. But is it enough to make a big difference?)
How many are ending up in landfills because people aren't using them?
Morris Chang (founder of TSMC)'s speech a year ago touched on 3 huge advantages Taiwan uniquely has. Having a whole, well-knit-together country with such intense knowledge & specilaization in making chips is something that would be extremely hard to recreate anywhere else. A community of practitioners is key. https://interconnected.blog/morris-chang-global-semiconducto...

The United States had extreme success growing really good chip designing talent with the digital foundry model. We simply gave college students & others access to the means of production. Something we see eFanless/Google/Skywatdr kind of doing these days, with free chipmaking (at 130nm). But how we get good at making the foundries, create a body of expertise in not chip design but chipmaking, at any level of density... hard problem.
Looking forward to upgrading.

*> ...how you define "critical manufacturing"?

This is a good question, and IMHO it's about threat-modelling. Three events come to mind: pandemic, war with China, and a Carrington Event[1]. The last one is interesting because it would destroy most electrical infrastructure, and it's not clear that the US retains the ability to manufacture those components. I'm not sure, but I don't think huge transformers have a ton of components, so your other (valid) concern about dependencies wouldn't apply in that case. Fabs are at least somewhat similar in that they don't recombine a huge variety of components in different ratios like Shenzen does.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrington_Event
It was co-written by Stephen Baxter, and if you're familiar with either his or Pratchett's writing then sometimes it's a bit too obvious who wrote which parts, which for me at least led to a certain amount of immersion breaking dissonance. Additionally I would say that the series goes steadily downhill after the first book, but is still pretty good overall.
At what point do you ask yourself if perhaps your opinion of the average user is out of date?
I doubt very much that the blue pill/black pill boards are produced in anything close to the volume of most consumer products like washing machines.

Those "maker" boards are dirt cheap because (a) the builders can use gray-market parts, including "pulls" (b) there is nothing on the board that isn't absolutely necessary: even the PCB itself tends to be 0.031" FR4 instead of the more robust 0.062" to save money. I've seen some boards in the Arduino ecosystem that clearly used punched holes to save money over drilling.

When you're building tens or hundreds of thousands of something, using a baseboard and daughterboard architecture is going to be far more expensive than putting everything on one board. Hell, I'd go so far to say that if you're building more than 500/year it's not worth it.

"Because almost all people have more wall warts and cables than phones." Do you have a source to verify this claim? Anecdotally, I know 3 people that switched from old Androids to iPhones who could not charge their phones. You're on a tech forum, so I assume you keep up with the tech news. But, at least in my circle, most people don't. They buy phones and expect them to ship with the required accessories to operate them.
You are free to buy a different phone. No lack of competition in this industry.
Every time Netflix raises their price, it hits the news, and people think "hmm, maybe I should cancel Netflix." This is antithetical to their success so far, which has been a cheap enough subscription that people stay subscribed because it's easier than unsubscribing when they aren't using it. It is insane to me. Absolutely insane. That they have been raising prices as frequently as they have. This isn't a rent controlled apartment, guys. If you need more money, fine, raise the prices once, and if that doesn't work, find another approach. Or at least grandfather in existing subscriptions so you aren't making your entire customer base reconsider their subscription every six months.

I consider rpm/dnf/yum in the same suite of packaging.

Just in my experience using it and noticing how the packaging is done and applied to the system, I have more trust in rpm/dnf to do things properly compared to deb/apt.

You're assuming that the US would go to war with China over Taiwan. That's not a given -- by a long shot.

Unlike the Russian sanctions, a broad sanction on the Chinese economy would deeply impact the US economy. It's not a viable strategy.
This is, in fact, why I think its great people still have an interest in low-tech methods for doing and making. In a Carrington Event[0] we will need people with that knowledge. Those without it will be much worse off.

While the crowd that uses OpenBSD might be crafty enough to look up and apply solutions, this happening in any mainstream OS would be unacceptable, since many simply wouldn't know how to change the setting, or wouldn't even be aware that there's a setting to change in the first place.

And what would the consequences be if tens to hundreds of millions of devices out there suddenly started wasting lots of electricity and ran in a mode that could cause the CPUs to fail more quickly?

There are several ways colorspace metadata can be included in a PNG.

- No colorspace metadata (software should assume sRGB)

- Built-in sRGB format chunk

- gAMA chunks

- cHRM chunks

- ICC profile chunks

IMO v4 ICC profiles are the modern and best way to encode colorspace info. The problem is not all software uses any or all of these.

ffmpeg for example decodes all of these chunks but does not actually use any of it. It even assumes by default PNGs are encoded with rec.701 gamma (common for legacy video). This is why PNG->x264 conversion with ffmpeg has weird colors unless you encode the PNGs with gamma ~2.0 instead of the sRGB standard ~2.2.
