I wonder why it's so expensive, I know it should be higher than regular consumers expect because it's a low volume high quality product, but so is the OP-1 and that seems to have a lot more manufacturing overhead.

Wouldn't this product just contain a small signal processing FPGA, a bunch of ADC's and a couple DAC's? It's small but I think those should fit fine in that enclosure with a thick PCB.

Anyone know if there's anything really special in there? Not hating if there isn't, the product is probably worth it to many people regardless, just wondering.

edit: just to clear the easiest explanation, since it's even more niche than the OP-1 it needs that much more margin? If it sells 1/10th the quantity it needs 10x the margin maybe.

Yes, but the hoi-polloi don't get to write off their mortgage interest as a tax deduction.

"The rich have all of the money and pay none of the taxes. The middle class pay all of the taxes and have none of the money. The poor are there just to scare the shit out of the middle class so they keep going to those jobs."

—George Carlin, 1937-2008

UPDATE:

As some replies have pointed out mortgage interest on a primary residence is permitted in some form in six countries: The Netherlands, Switzerland, the United States, Belgium, Denmark, and Ireland. If you live in one of these six countries, my comment does not apply to you. If you live in any of the nearly 200 other countries in the world, it does.

YMMV: "Your Mortgage-interest-deductiblity May Vary."
exactly, who the hell would want to work for the US government when they can work for spacex? i worked as a contractor to multiple DOD projects in the past, it was incredibly bureaucratic and the quality of engineers that were involved was very low compared to the private sector.

I get that space and defense are apples to oranges, but there is no reason to think it is significantly different.
Any reasonable bank would freeze the card before even contacting you.

If they want a confirmation, they'd rather use an automated method. Like send an SMS: "Did you spend $X on Merchant, Inc? Reply with Yes or No".

They can't afford a human calling you for every fraud suspicion.
Person A walks past you and smiles. Person B walks past and punches you in the face. Which maximizes engagement?

Person A tells you about a new discovery at NASA. Person B tells you the Earth is flat and bombards you with "irrefutable" proof. Which maximizes engagement?

I really do think engagement maximizing algorithms explain much (but not all) of our collective descent into insanity since about 2010-2012 when they became popular.
Watch how fast his numbers fall if he tried to sell a fraction of it.

Watch how fast it falls when people realize how absurd it is for Tesla to be the sixth largest company in the world by market cap, with a trillion dollar valuation. The meme voting era of stocks is coming to a close. The weighing portion of the cycle is coming and it will not be kind.
huh. this naive approach is cute. but here is the thing: the amount of effort required to refute bullshit is at least an order of magnitude higher than the effort required to produce it.

we don’t have unlimited time an unlimited attention spans. we also deal with uneducated, easily manipulated people that will just discard anything that does not match their world view and just amplify the bs.
Not working in the interests of the shareholders is a breach of the board's fiduciary duties (which is simply what I commented based on the parent comment I was replying to).

The issue is indeed always to determine whether a course of action is knowingly not in the interests of the shareholders.
I think that is a worthwhile test and agree banning things like spam or extremely grotesque content means you aren't a "free speech absolutist." However, banning some speech (such as those mentioned above) wouldn't necessarily put him in the camp of only being interested in his own free speech.
One thing that many people don’t know is that SMS caller IDs are also being spoofed more frequently. In the article the author mentions noticing that the authentication code came from a number the bank didn’t ever use.

Sophisticated scammers can spoof your bank’s phone number and send a message that appears in a thread alongside other legitimate SMS from the bank.

This is harder to do than caller ID spoofing, but has become more prevalent recently.
That Mendes song makes all sorts of twists and turns that your brain doesn't expect (want?) it to. Personally I find it deeply uncomfortable to listen to, it might as well be four songs playing at once.
This is awesome! It seems like you've paid close attention to security and privacy, but I would love a clearer, stronger guarantee. "We truly cannot access your data, will never access your data, and will never, ever sell your data." That would go far here.
Excellent explanation. To add to that - this is a typical example of an asymmetrical transaction for the lender(s). If Musk+Twitter are successful, lenders’ upside is limited by the debt interest and if Musk+Twitter fail - they are left with a huge underperforming asset on the books. This is nothing new for the banks - essentially it is a potential foreclosure on a defaulted mortgage, just on a different scale, so the risk will be priced into the loan conditions.

Hah it's great. We had a national scandal along these lines.

1- Saudi company borrows $7B from Turkish banks to buy 55% of Turkey's largest internet and telephone provider.

2- Drive the provider into $4B debt (it was debt free when bought)

3- Pay the new holding company $9B in dividends

4- Don't pay the initial money borrowed to purchase the company.

5- Somehow borrow another $4B from Turkish banks to pay the new debt, and pocket that money as well.

6- Government creates a consortium of banks to bail the provider because its too big to fail.

Outcome: Provider is in debt, banks lost all the money, banks needs to spend unknown amount to get the provider back into a functioning state.

he has fired a lot of his own employees for what they said or posted online, no need to test him more.

Some people think it's fair game to retaliate gainst your own employees because there is no free speech at a company, I would counter that it's a very narrow margin for someone who declared themselve "free speech absolutist" and didn't implement it in their own kingdom.
That explanation sounds like they are just giving away shares, which they aren't. Other parties get the _right_ to buy additional new shares at a reduced rate.

IIRC Twitter already has rules about shareholder votes, and it couldn't happen until next year at the earliest. There's no provision for shareholders to call for a vote at any random time.

It's not lying, it's just based on the prior year's data. Allow me to update it for EOY2021.

In an average year, Toyota ships between 8 and 10 million cars, and has for a long time.

Tesla's year over year percentage increase in cars shipped has been trending down, of course, as they grow with the exception of last year.

However, last year, Tesla shipped 935K cars. Since it's just Q1 of 2022 I don't think it makes sense to make any extrapolations as to how many they will actually deliver this year, so let's use that number. I think that's generous given, you know, everything.

So, Tesla ships 9%-ish as many cars as Toyota.

To get from 900K to 10M per year, an 11X increase, would take:

- 27% year over year growth for 10 years.

- 30% year over year growth for 9 years.

- 35% year over year growth for 8 years.

- 40% year over year growth for 7 years.

- 50% year over year growth for 6 years.

As deliveries increase and the market is saturated growth rates will drop.

And that's to get to the same deliveries as just Toyota today (a company valued at 250B), when Tesla is valued at the sum total of the market cap of every other automaker on the planet, plus a utility company, plus the battery arm of Panasonic, plus a solar panel manufacturer.

The global auto market delivered 67M cars last year, of which Tesla accounted for 0.9M, or 1.3%. For comparison Porsche delivered 0.3M last year. Same ball park.

Even if Tesla doubled their deliveries this year and next year, they'd still sell a fairly small number of expensive electric cars to rich people. And that's a big if since right now is just about the single hottest auto market in history, and their deliveries remained flat quarter over quarter.

>I don’t understand how “Twitter is controlled by the government” is the simplest explanation. Do you actually use Twitter?

I don't use twitter. Because of Elon I wanted to test and do have an account right now. I connected to my canadian political folks and chess people. I liked lots of things, but I never commented or retweeted. I then commented on a chess person with a positive tweet and I was quietly censored. Absolutely no way should have my account been treated this way.

>I feel like Twitter had an outsized representation along social media giants. It’s one of the smallest by MAU; and has a history of management problems. Isn’t occans razor here that is just a poorly run company?

If you're listed on the S&P500, you can't say that's poorly run. Poorly run would never have gotten there.
have you ever defended your ideas? against someone that does not do this in good faith? and makes shit up on the fly? and lies when caught? and uses mental gymnastics when shown their are plain wrong?

This focuses on writing that will be legible to others. More often I want notes that I can read without ambiguity and in a form that I can write about as fast as I can type.

Not mentioned in the convo so far is shorthand commonly used by legal secretaries and journalists. Mastering this is akin to switching from Qwerty to Colemak rather than just trying to improve your qwerty.

For anyone who's considering investing more in hand-written notes, look into various shorthand notations. I like Pitman but there are others depending on handedness, pen preferences, etc.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitman_shorthand

I'm still learning, but I now use it interspersed with my cursive script and find I can read my shorthand more easily than my cursive.

(Either way: invent your own symbols for words/phrases you write a lot. Text shorthand, foreign languages, and math symbols all find their way into my notes. U for you, y for and, o for or, ∀ for all/each, etc.)

Discord only requires this for sharing audio along with screen sharing - I've shared my screen with the Discord app several times before without audio and I've never installed the kext.

And, at any rate, the kext they want you to install is the same one Rogue Amoeba uses for their well known and widely used app, Audio Hijack. Discord licenses it from them; they mention it in the dialogue that prompts you to install it.

The idea is you won't get banned for making jokes about trans stuff, but you'll instead get banned for saying something bad about US global hegemony. It's not a culture war issue so nobody is going to care that you got censored.
> "this proposal would also put an agency with no engineering or other relevant expertise in charge of how digital products are designed."

That's how they roll. See: Ted Stevens

An MitM attack is significantly harder than "I have your CC number and I'll use it with no authentication", therefore it does increase the difficulty for fraud. Though I haven't seen a requirement to enter the bank's password, my one requires me to confirm the transaction by opening the credit card provider's app on my phone which isn't vulnerable in the way you're describing.

Musk is part businessman, part clown. Twitter probably hits a sweet spot for both.
Once again, politicians are trying to fix something that isn't broken and are going to make a bigger mess than whatever it is they're trying to change.

How the Snake Ate the Gems
80s Junk Bond King (and convicted felon*) Michael Milkin tells this story.

He was once talking to an ambitions entrepreneur about funding a buyout with junk, and the entrepreneur asked, "This is a lot of money. How do you know I'll replay it?"

Milkin says he replied, "Because if you miss even a single payment, I'll call your debt and take not just the company, but every single asset you own."

———

* That would be presidentially pardoned convicted felon Michael Milkin. The rules for "righting injustice through pardons" are very different for the rich than the comfortably well off, much less those living paycheque to paycheque.
The article references another one of the author's articles: https://robertheaton.com/2019/06/24/i-was-7-words-away-from-...

Congratulations! Really excited and happy to see this come to fruition.
Power Management has always been tricky in how you approach it from a defaults perspective. For example, in ...

Servers - you most likely want to prioritize always having max performance (in lieu of power/heat).

Laptops, you probably want to dynamically adjust performance since you're in physical contact with the device that's producing the heat.

Desktops, it's a bit unknown what the user might wants to prioritize (is it power efficiency, is it max perform, or a hybrid).

Microsoft got this right decades ago and just made it a togglable OS option for the user to decide.
Thanks. :)

From what I can tell, Arquero looks to be intended to provide an SQL-like interface to querying tabular data and is in a very imperitive format, do this, then with that do this, etc.

DTL, on the other hand, doesn't require your data to be in any particular format or quantity. It is designed to work with whatever data you have and is really intended for data transformation, rewriting data between formats.

Apart from that, DTL is designed to be self-contained and portable, meaning you can use DTL transforms server or browser side, you can transfer them, you can store them in DBs. Their definition is not Javascript and what DTL transforms can do is transform input data and that's all. They have no system or javascript access, which means they are far more secure to use than the equivalent javascript code.

I personally think that for most uses DTL is suited for, it is substantially easier to understand than even the equivalent javascript code.

DTL Transforms are essentially formulas for how to arrive at your desired data, where imperative code is more of a 'do this, then do this, then do this' which is significantly harder to anticipate / understand the result of.

> Now it is your turn to explain to me how does this fact contradict my statement that the drawback of such paradigm is that it makes it useless as a store of value?

Well, nobody contradicted that statement, as that is generally accepted. The contradicted statement is "The whole idea of today's currencies is for the financially illiterate people to get robbed of their savings.", which as (i parse it) is a statement about purpose of such properties of today currencies, so it is contradicted by a different statement about purpose of these properties: "The point of controlled inflation is to prevent the financially literate from hoarding cash as ..."
That is an assumption based on no evidence.
It's all relative. Compared to many that is "ultra" privileged. I'm almost 30 and I can't even access a line of credit for 30k of debt because of stuff that happened earlier in life without having my parents as a safety net. So everything I have done on my own has been just after work using money that could be going to rent, savings, investments, new technology, etc.

I also have a high level of privilege because my upbringing allowed me to have unmetered access to a computer at 14 landing me a good programming job when I dropped out of college. So from the perspective of someone who didn't even have the opportunities I had, looking into the life of someone who started a company from a shed while living in their parent's house, it would appear "Ultra" Privileged. (I have plenty of friends from where I grew up that didn't even have support from their parents when they were 14-16, working after school to pay rent because their parents either died, or were too deadbeat to consistently make rent)

Like I said, it's all relative.
> I wonder if we'll ever see a world where Russia plays nice and stays nice.

Unfortunately any real hope for that ship has sailed down the toilet at hypersonic speeds. Its not about the amount of good, smart, moral etc. folks that are still in Russia, in relatively educated population of 160 million there will always be quite a few of those.

But this layer is, and will be marginal and powerless in Russia unless its already part of government and thus on side of corruption, theft and organized murder. Mainstream applauds Putin genocide or not, or in best possible scenario indulges in complacency, preferring seemingly strong dictator over any uncertainty that more freedom can bring. Weakening any russian influence and strength is by far the best course of action, short term and especially long term.

Only a fool comes again and again with open hands for an embrace to a sociopath wielding blood stained knife.

Its a mistake when trying to apply western thinking and actions to Russia, they are very far from it and getting further away as we speak.

All this, and much much more. Plus yeah, Putin is a mass murderer, allies didn't negotiate much with Hitler neither. He also said and put in contracts whatever gave advantage at that moment, only to break it at first occasion.
