This made me laugh out loud. Thanks for that. Perhaps Mike Judge could produce it? Something in the article seems to support just how fungible the CNN and Fox cable news-tainment duopoly is. They increasingly appear to be just two sides of the same news-tainment coin:

>"CNN wooed big-name talent, including Fox News anchor Chris Wallace, to join the service."

In a NYTimes profile from last year Chis Wallace stated:

>"I just no longer felt comfortable with the programming at Fox."[1].

It's worth noting that he was at Fox for 18 years. It's amusing to think that his move to the CNN streaming service just happened to coincide with his breaking point after almost two decades. I believe CNN also made an offer to Megan Fox after she exited Fox News.

My impression of CNN the last few years was that they seemed to be they spending an inordinate amount of time talking about whatever outrageous thing a Fox host just said on air. It's all rather dystopian and meta. The article hints that Discovery would like them to focus on hard-jouralism but I can't recall the last time CNN was hard-journalism. The Ted Turner years, the first Gulf war?

It tells me it's still early. Many still think Bitcoin offers anonymity. It takes life experience to fully appreciate privacy, & there's tons of naive enthusiasm in crypto that will "grow up" into better, more-private options. Still, over a number of time periods – including the last year – Zcash's value appreciation has outperformed Bitcoin. The real contest, and shake out of true value, is a multi-decade marathon.

If your impression, based on what you've seen, is that "crypto is generally dominated by marketers and pump and dumps", well I suppose you're the expert about what's in your junk info-diet.

But even if most email, by count, is spam or promotional, people with good filters see little of it, and it'd be a total misreading of the transformative social/economic value of email to say it "is dominated by marketers".

I have good filters against seeing, or spending any attention, on the carnival-barker & naive-speculator froth. (And, any truly momentous economic shift is often wrapped in a phalanx of such pretenders & hangers-on. I don't mistake the lampreys for the whale.)

And looking at tangible measures, like total market cap, real innovators with interesting tech & growing histories of stability are a comfortably majority of all value.

Kinda like all the complaints are not really about the charger ;-)
MFi doesn't apply to USB or USB-C chargers. See the first section of the FAQ: https://mfi.apple.com/en/faqs.html
I'm of the opinion that what we have is good enough. What we need are consumer devices that are not made with planned obsolescence in mind. I have perfectly viable devices that are sitting around that I don't want to throw in a landfill, that are deprecated purely because of software changes. It's clear when we can afford to toss all of our ram / compute at running Electron applications.
I don't think the cost of development is an issue, but the cost of hosting certainly is. Open source organizations have a lot of resources (programmers, reputation, etc) but it is rare for them to have much money.
But I mean offering non-zero level of trust to a corporation shouldn't be considered idiotic, but offering a non-zero level of trust to apple a bit is, because like how many times to they have to fuck people before people understand? Like in EU the warranty is 2 years without ifs or but, and Apple has been fined for advertising them offering just one year, and still they're still advertising that they offer 1 year to sell more AppleCare+ of 2 years, apple is fucking cancer a shady shitty incorrect cheaty shitshole, what trust do you want to put in them?

Ideally I agree with you but I think as of now if you get an Apple product you need to understand that you are going to be scammed so buying anything Apple is idiotic
The last few months have been interesting enough so I don't really browse much these days. When I do it's usually skimming HN for interesting topics/discussions and sporza.be for cycling news.

Now that I think of it it has not really been a conscious choice to browse so little. It just happened over the span of a few months. I used to spend hours on reddit/twitch and local news sites, bingewatch tv shows but it looks like I don't care anymore about all that stuff and I like it much better this way. I'm either sitting at my desktop working for work/sideprojects, or I'm away from all screens playing guitar, being outside etc.
For a given lens strength (prescription), the material with the highest Abbe number will have the fewest chromatic aberrations. Is that not correct, and the whole point of the Abbe number?

Some higher-index materials have noticeably worse Abbe numbers than others, and for my prescription of -9.75/-8.75 I selected a high-index 1.61 lens because it supposedly had an Abbe number of 41 whereas the higher index (and thinner) 1.67 or 1.74 lenses have much worse Abbe numbers of 32 and 33. Sure, the lenses are thick, but that doesn't bother me, and neither do chromatic aberrations much anymore.

Also, smaller lenses may reduce chromatic aberrations, but only because they reduce the field of view. I would rather have clear side vision with some aberrations than have very blurry side vision.
If your Windows isn't joined to an AD domain then the enterprise stuff doesn't apply. Maybe some of the users complaining about QBitTorrent are trying to install it at work, but it's much more likely to be simply because they don't sign their software. It's more or less guaranteed that not doing that will cause spurious and inconsistent security warnings.

If you check the github thread then the very first post says it was flagged as PUA but the actual error they show is clearly a malware classification. The fact that they have one naming scheme and QBitTorrent got dumped in the PUA section (because it's not malware) doesn't mean it automatically gets opted out of the reputation system. And they observe themselves that people are re-bundling qbittorrent binaries into third party re-packagings that are probably adware or malware, which in the absence of signing will confuse Windows because it can't tell the re-packaged versions apart from the upstream versions.
As a TSLA holder I care that I've made 20x on my stock.

I care it's the best performing stock in the last 5 and 10 years.

I care that Tesla is growing revenues at 50%+ over more than a decade, and profits even faster. Which is a better financial performance than Amazon has at similar stage.

What I do not care is your editorializing of Musk's character of calling me a cult member.

I guess I should be offended but then I take a look at my bank account and it kind of makes me not care about what you think about me or Musk.
> NTFS hasn't been widely adopted by firmware manufacturers either.

Although very complex and very undocumented, NTFS has actually been adopted very widely and quite reliably. Most of the pre-smart TVs and set-top-boxes can read FAT and NTFS USB drives which makes NTFS the only choice if you want movies exceeding 4 GiBs.
Make it a Windows kernel driver for scanning process memory and I'm sure you'll have enterprise customers lining up to buy it. With or without this new legislation. A new tool for spying on their users (students, employees, etc) wont go ignored.
I think the vast majority of buyers would ask for a free charger because:

1) one more can't hurt, what if you lose one of the others?

2) it's free, so why not?

3) it's free and then I can SELL it!

4) ... maybe more?

I think you are right emotionally speaking. A lot of people, author of blogpost included, started with clojure so now they might consider most lisps clojur'y(enough).

However, the broader lisp community writes code very differently from typical clojure. Different idioms, slight syntax variations, completely different tooling and ecosystems.

While I can agree with you that for 'us' it certainly feels emotionally true. But if you go into other lisps scheme, racket etc you would notice huge differences. Differences which may feel even stronger than java vs c++ diff.

> So what do you do? You get Ukraine to adopt a policy of neutrality similar to Finland, Sweden or Switzerland.

This is all dandy, but how can you do that when Putin breaks previous obligations by invading Crimea and the Donbas?

See https://www.rferl.org/a/ukraine-parliament-abandons-neutrali...

Putin wants Ukraine either to be part of Russia, or as a vassal/subservient state. You don't even realize how compromised Ukraine was by the FSB. Politicians, media figures, etc... all on the bankroll of the FSB to the tune of billions of dollars. In a way, this war has allowed these rats to be exposed and has unified the Ukrainians even more so as a people. Neutrality would've just prolonged the suffering and allowed Putin to destabilize Ukraine even further.

There's also some interesting discussion here: https://www.russiamatters.org/analysis/nato-or-bust-why-do-u...

> However, the motives behind Russia’s actions toward Ukraine could extend far beyond traditional security interests. Unlike Ukraine, neither Austria nor Finland was viewed by Moscow as part of “the same historical and spiritual place” as Russia, as part of “a single whole.” Hence, it was easier for the Kremlin to accept their statehood, including their right to integrate with Europe politically and economically. It is unlikely that Moscow would ever acquiesce to the same latitude in Ukraine’s foreign policy. As Russian President Vladimir Putin has stressed, “true sovereignty of Ukraine is possible only in partnership with Russia.” Without a common understanding of what neutrality means, Russia would then be even more likely to interfere in Ukraine as long as it interprets any of its foreign policy actions as hostile. Furthermore, in the absence of outside security guarantees or military cooperation with the West, Ukraine could be perceived as sufficiently weak to be coerced to Russia’s liking.

That’s not going to happen. They’re all competing entities with different corporate ownerships.

I’ve done some work with a few NBCUniversal brands (Syfy, Bravo, E) and while they’ve gotten more aligned in recent years the individual brands are still competing with each other for eyeballs and these are folks that are under a single corporate umbrella and mostly in the same building (30 Rock).

In theory you could create a YouTube TV for news, or sports only those efforts are non starters. If a provider wants MSNBC they have to negotiate for a whole package of NBCU brands.
MFi doesn't cover USB-C chargers: https://mfi.apple.com/en/faqs.html

I learned math and programming but I wish I'd also taken wood shop (and metal shop, and other practical courses.)

Making actual stuff with your hands and using physical tools is immensely satisfying and empowering. I really crave it after spending all of my time staring at a screen and typing on a keyboard.

Other practical skills like personal finance, home improvement and maintenance, and cooking can pay dividends for the rest of your life.

I wish I'd had more time for many courses (also including music, art, drama, etc.) that weren't part of the "college prep" track.

> For passengers sure, they are slow. They could instead transport cargo.

(1) applies triple for cargo, cargo which is fine with slow tends to be heavy. For reference, the Hindenburg had under 20 tonnes of useful lift, the ship itself weighted around 200 tonnes dry.

If you're happy with your cargo going under 200km/h, you're probably fine slapping it on a truck or five, or on a train with some point-to-point trucking.

It's hard to fathom how incapable airships are, they really aren't very good as you scale up, the use cases where they have any sort of superiority are extremely limited, leading to a very small market.

> China would be the aggressor.

Russia is currently the aggressor and Ukraine has far more Western support than Taiwan could reasonably expect. Still no Western countries are "closing the skies" or attacking Russian military assets. China is a far stronger opponent than Russia, so I don't see why that would change.

The US would be going it comparatively alone against China in a Taiwan conflict. I believe the best way to protect them is helping them arm themselves to the teeth such that China sees only a brutally pyrrhic victory as a possibility.
The other way around seems very common too. Autistics trying to understand the behavior of NTs by implicitly assuming the NTs think in ways similar to themselves, then expressing frustration when the observed behavior of the NTs doesn't match the inaccurately modeled expectation.

In fact I'm not sure this really has much to do with NTs and autistics. I think this sort of dynamic occurs all the time even between people who are very similar (but never identical!) to each other.

Oh, I misundertood.

I thought that when you said that "he doesn't have to outright sell them on the open market to get cash" you were referring to an alternative way of getting cash - not to an alternative form of payment.

I'm not even sure that it would be really feasible, in any case it would surely be very unusual.

As that link says, the way it goes normally is: "A stock swap occurs when shareholders' ownership of the target company's shares is exchanged for shares of the acquiring company." But here people would not be getting shares of the acquiring company, they would be getting shares of an unrelated company. There is no reason why they would want to keep those shares, so they would quickly flood the market.

No, they’re bundling malware because the sites that host mods are a cesspool, reminiscent of the 90’s warez scene - the downloads are all “type the third word from this page, the second word from this page, then click this sponsored link, then wait in a ‘queue’ where we show you video ads - and then you can download your mod at 20kbps”

I’m surprised they don’t split them up into 1.44mb rar archives “for your convenience”.

I'm not sure I agree with some of the responses. The issue is that the price to build or retrofit fabs goes up significantly with each generation. Only a few companies have been able to survive given the amount of financial risk involved.

I don't know who you're arguing with. I'm describing the rationale for poison pill arrangements (I'm more or less just parroting Matt Levine).

If the board is wrong, and Twitter is worth less than Musk's offer, Musk will eventually get the company --- either because the board will relent after Musk's tender is successful, or because, next year, Musk will succeed in replacing the board.

The rest of your points basically just add words to things I said. It's not the case that I know for a fact Twitter is worth more than Musk's offer. It might be worth less. There is now a process for the market to judge who's right. Nor was Musk's original offer "coercive"; it couldn't have been, because it wasn't even an offer. The coercive offer is an eventuality the pill protects against, not something the pill reacts to. One outline of a coercive offer is "I will pay $54/share until I get enough shares to control the outcome, at which point I will use my control of the company to have it accept $10/share for everyone else". That's the kind of thing a shareholder rights plan prevents.

So, as I said before: if you're right, Musk will end up owning Twitter. If he can't even manage the tender, the board will instead have been proven right.

Of course, if he ends up with the company, the parade of horribles associated in message board consciousness with poison pills will have been debunked (the pill will not have prevented him from acquiring the company). And if he gets the company, but pays more per share for it, the board will, again, have been proven right.
In design work there is rarely a single right answer but there are often a lot of obviously wrong answers. Unfortunately web browsers seem to have latched onto those for many of these features, hence the awful gradients, janky animations, glitchy font rendering, etc.
Tesla is not the lender, Musk's broker is.

Therefore Tesla has zero input into margin rate broker decides to give Musk.
> Perhaps it reflects my upbringing, but my general assumption is any product requires some unadvertised secondary purchase to function unless I can prove otherwise.

Perhaps it is your upbringing indeed. My own upbringing, however, suggests that all things should work out-of-the-box but perhaps with "minimal functionality". For example, your computer should work great out-of-the-box but you can install additional hardware and/or software to do more.

Environmental impact is a really important concern. But aren't we just deciding _where_ that impact will occur? I don't think environmental damage in China is inherently superior to environmental damage in America; not for any reason other than, "I live in America, so of course I want America to be have a clean environment." I think the environmental impact of these industries could be reduced but profit overrules all other considerations.
