We had a discussion on this in design school... our consensus which the heat map also supports is that Tropicana failed to realize the strength of their logo.

It's not the orange since after all Tropicana makes a lot of different juices. It's the logo. Writing it vertically in a different font destroyed brand recognition and consumers simply failed to find the product on shelves.
This agrees with the articles suggestion that they genericized themselves.
This was many many years ago, these feelings have long since passed. But thanks, I guess.

People aren't entitled to their jobs any more than any other business is entitled to their customers. To think that they are is to infantilize salarymen and to perceive them less as free economic agents and more like serfs, incapable of proving their worth in a free, competitive market.
Check Types with Concepts
To be fair, Azure has a bad reputation among non-"enterprise" folks ( the type of person who swears by IBM, Oracle, Cisco, etc.). I've only experimented with it briefly and it was underwhelming at best, and all of the things I've read and heard about it don't make me want it. Be it general slowness, really poor UI and UX, or terrible security vulnerabilities. No cloud is perfect, but Azure seems to be the least perfect of the big ones.
I sure will check it out. Thanks!

You make bizarre unfounded claims that there's some anti-Tesla, pro-Porsche conspiracy afoot purely because you can't handle the idea that two CCS cars out-road tripped two Teslas, and you think you know something? This thread has gone absolutely nowhere.

You don't need to bless my heart. You need to cultivate some perspective.

Wow. That's an extremely cynical point of view (and I'm pretty darn cynical, myself). Care to cite an example or two to substantiate it (especially the "take credit for" bit)?
Perhaps you don't but these are critical features in many businesses. The company I work for does government contracts where we have 3000 line cost models that are shared by 6+ organisations and maintained by 20+ people with daily updates. Without having them accessible by everyone at once, people would be creating daily copies which would need to get reconciled.
Ive encountered this sentiment a lot from my hardware engineering friends, I dont know if its a side effect of the job or something, but they tend to value the sort of "efficiency of exactly the right chip / protocol / whatever" over the "versatility / community / perceived technical quality " around the same. Sort of like a callback to Betamax VS VHS.

- Hydrogen fuel cells are a better technology than batteries
- Zigbee is a better wireless protocol than wifi
- you dont need a RPi, an ATTiny and some transistors would work fine

sure, but wifi is being improved for tons of use cases and Zigbee only really has the one use case just now, getting started writing code for x86 with a full OS is much simpler than for a microcontroller etc etc

ultimately the network effect / whatever kick in and the popular stuff usually ends up winning IMHO

Freeman Dyson was talking about this even way back in 1979, echoed by Edward Teller (yes, that Edward Teller!) in 1997: https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB877028953900981000

There's probably no way for us to publicly know the extent of what all has been considered or tested in secret, but it's reassuring to me to see that there's historical interest from groups who would have the clout and the means to actually do something about it. Even if we haven't discovered a safe and workable sun-shielding technology that can be deployed widely, ruling out things that won't work is an important step toward getting there. Maybe this can be the Space Force's defining moment!

In Europe and the UK there is now the Open Banking standard [1] that should technically make it a lot more feasible to do micro payments because it allows account-to-account transactions, therefore not needing to go through Visa/Mastercard processes and fees.

The government on the island of Taiwan doesn't claim it to be a country by itself either, though.

"How does remix dictate how you mutate your data?"
I didn't word it correctly as Remix doesn't dictate the model. It does seem to have a strong opinion on how to handle form submissions. Trying to closely follow the browsers native form api does make a lot of sense in most situations, but I like a more JavaScript heavy approach to form handling. Especially since I have a lot of complex form interactions.

The whole Podcasting 2.0 / "value 4 value" movement is built on top of Lightning Network micropayments. It works. People use it. When you listen to a podcast that has the v4v tags in the feed using a compatible app you are given the option to send contribution based on how much you have listened. Also, you can send "boosts" which include a message that the podcaster could, for example, read out live.

I think the next step would be something similar but for blogging / text content.

PS: I myself wrote a RSS reader & podcast client that I released on the Umbrel app store. As you listen to podcasts, you can stream donations straight from the app running on your Umbrel node using funds you have complete custody of. It is pretty amazing.

PPS: In the Lightning world, micropayments can be as low as a millisat, which is 1/1000 of a satoshi. Routing fees are also very low and transactions are instantly confirmed.

Tips and tricks for a good intern job application
Totally agree - I think the main issue with Kagi is that although they have clearly built out the service and are offering it for free at the moment, their premise that people will actually micropay for a search hasn't been tested yet.

It's easy to get users if you offer a paid service for free, but much more difficult to get people to pay for it.

(They have done surveys where people have said they would pay, but this is different to actually putting their credit card in and putting their money where their mouths are!)
Yep. Replace the prominent brand logo of a consumer product with something in a generic sans serif font (in a different orientation!) and people are going to think it's a generic alternative and skip straight past it, straw or no straw. There's no straw on the Tropicana in my fridge...

I mean, I imagine younger McDonalds customers feel far more emotional connection to the brand's clown than anyone does to a straw, but replacing Ronald with some "healthy eating" pictures isn't going to kill sales at a branch nearly as much as quietly replacing the golden arches with an "M" in Generic Gothic...

No they don't. They could just start the debian distro without network configuration and gui and end up with a shell, with a MOTD saying this is just a base distro and a full reinstall to a supported OS is advised before connecting it to a network.

I guess they only do that because the FreeDOS name does not frighten the average tech guy who only used microsoft products as much as linux.
If you want to develop this, generate simple melodies and make a play along feature.

For the record: I am a professional musician (bassoon player in a symphony orchestra).

Sight reading doesn't really work quite like this when you get better. After a while your brain works more on chunks and patterns. For example, if I see a long scale pattern in F major I don't read very not. I just notice where to go up and down and play. Reading f e d e d c bb ... doesn't work for sight-reading such things in any meaningful tempo.

Having it play along meant you will have to continue even though you make mistakes. Mistakes will happen, and being able to regain ground and go on is important.
I just use recentf for that. My buffer list contains everything in the recentf (this works with buffer list replacements from both Helm and Ivy). Makes it trivial to open up any file I've had open before.

> if there are any other (standard) methods of depreciation accounting

IIRC, tax authorities carefully regulate how quickly you are allowed to depreciate. The reason is that with depreciation you reduce your profit, and pay less in taxes. There is thus an incentive for firms to tweak depreciation and pull it forward, to either concentrate it in relatively more profitable years, or generally push tax payment further back into the future.

To counteract that, tax authorities often specify an upper limit on how much you may depreciate every year. These limits often distinguish by type of asset, and allow for faster depreciation for shorter-lived assets, but I could imagine that the tax code makes no provision for ultra-short-lived crypto mining equipment.
The hint is in the other part of the paragraph - investors were likely looking for exposure to Bitcoin (implying that they have positive expectations for its price).

Some investors are constrained in what kind of assets they can invest in, so buying stocks of Bitcoin miners might seem like a reasonable proxy for buying Bitcoin outright (similar to how some investors looking for gold exposure actually buy gold mining stocks). The point of this article is that that strategy might be inferior to buying Bitcoin outright because the stocks are overvalued compared to their intrinsic capability of producing Bitcoin (note how Bitcoin price predictions aren't even discussed). It's a classical value-based investment thesis that might lead to the opposite conclusion at different stock prices.

The author says that he holds short positions, and I can imagine that he's probably used derivatives to hedge out BTC price movement risk and purely bet on his thesis that those miners' stocks will perform worse than the price of Bitcoin itself.

I would buy this indeed. I like working outside and it's not very good at the moment. I think projects like this should do this as Frame.work 'plug-ins' though. We really need some type of open 'shelf parts' company that just makes for a hardware / software ecosystem of compatible hardware and software (drivers).
a lot of complex projects aren’t all that useful or exciting. this looks useful (it also looks pretty good).
This is neat! Some if the alternative solutions discussed here seem to confuse compilation with evaluation. Fortran is trying to rewrite the computation in such a way that, later on, a machine that knows nothing about precedence can evaluate the expression. It's incredible that such a rewrite can be performed from left to right without recursion and while using only O(1) memory at a time.
If you don't load images, and you disable 3rd party JavaScript you can save a lot of loading time with a headless. I'm using a preconfigured profile in Firefox with uMatrix installed and sites load at least 50% faster. Add another 20-30% from not loading images, and suddenly using a headless becomes affordable.
for anyone who thinks 49C in Delhi is some extreme temperature it's not really that far from usual maximum (2019 and 2020 both May max. 46C).

That's a 3C increase!

Sure that's only a 6.5% increase in temperature w.r.t. to 46C but that's an incorrect way of looking at it. If you were to set your air-conditioning to 32C, then the energy required to cool from 49C to 32C is 21% more than the energy required to cool from 46C to 32C.

32C is also the wet-bulb temperature, so when thinking about tolerability, at least use 32C as the baseline (and not 0C) when comparing temperatures.

P.S. Humidity is a major factor. I'm assuming humidity is the same this year as it was the previous years.

Edit: To clarify, my comment was about not giving into your insticts and underestimating the effects of 3C rise w.r.t. 46C. Thinking of 3C rise in terms of energy increase or comparing it to a baseline of wet-bulb temperature give you better intuitions.

I got up to take a look, but after three days of entirely cloudless skies it was pissing down with rain and the cloud base somewhere around the top of the garden fence.

Of course even down south here at 56.5°N it still gets light really early this time of year, so it was already light enough to see that I was not going to see the moon.
If there's one thing I've learnt about hunger it's that not all hunger is real.

You have to think to yourself, am I hungry, or am I bored/idle?

I find keeping yourself busy/no snacking or food at desk etc helps a lot. It may be different for other people but if I get up and walk around a bit/stretch I usually realise I'm not hungry, just for some reason sitting & idling too long make me feel like food.

Another big one is hydration, drinking enough water helps a lot, count coffee, etc as a - for the amount of water you drink. If I'm a little peckish and I realise I haven't had enough water, just drinking half a glass usually staves off the feeling of hunger.

I doubt that.

Most likely it is an agreement that is seen as a win on both party. HP has no incentive to pay ubuntu for anything, and ubuntu can't get any new market if it starts asking companies to pay for it.

And they could use whatever distro they want that do not have those clauses instead of ubuntu.
Is it still worth designing new low/medium performance laptops that are not based on a SOC? I mean, the energy requirements for dedicated CPU/GPU units are just not good I guess
DigitalOcean droplets: $0.007/hour.

Most of my servers run for a long period of time, but sometimes I do experiment with running a certain setup that I kill after a few hours or days. Knowing that I only pay per hour at the same low cost allows me to experiment more.

Those are not cryptocurrency micropayments, and the actual transfer aggregates to one accumulated, monthly payment.
I don't get this obsession with running a lot of vendor specific tooling on a laptop. Don't people use CI/CD? The only place that will ever deploy anything to anywhere is CI in my setups. And only after the tests pass.

I see this over and over again where the first step of using something supposedly user friendly is to install a lot of command line cruft on your snow flake laptop. It only goes downhill from there. Great for amateurs but usually left as an exercise for the reader to beat some sense into bad practices like deploying things from a laptop.

IMHO it should start from the other end and actually provide you with a sane CI/CD pipeline out of the box. Google cloud run does this right. You just give it a repository url and it sets up the rest. I used that two years ago and I was up and running in about 2 minutes. Every commit to master went live. CI/CD out of the box. No magical incantations on the command-line. Just develop as you do normally. Zero fuss.

You think that seems old?

Gunung Padang in Java is at least 20,000 years old. It used to be thought a hill. Now it is known to have been built.

Stranger still, the style of relief carving on the big pillar at Gobekli Tepe uncannily matches the carvings on the backs of all the Moai on Easter Island.

I never knew there were any such carvings on Moai. Apparently the ones left above ground eroded away. But they all have, or had, the same carvings, which appear meant to suggest tattoos.

And the oldest stone construction on Easter Island exactly resembles the oldest stone work of Peru.
Back in the dark ages, I was an early employee of Bitpass, a micropayments startup, and for Bitpass I co-founded what may have been the first completely indie online music store, Mperia (in the sense that artists could simply upload and sell their work directly, with no contracts or middlemen). It used Bitpass micropayments for record sales.

(We may have also been the first online music store to have Creative Commons licensing built in, as our launch coincided with CC's. I'll never forget at their launch party, when the nice, awkward teenage kid I thought was just some attendee's son got up and was introduced as one of CC's developers, Aaron Swartz.)

The thing that killed the momentum then is the same thing that still kills it - card transaction fees. Bitpass got around this by allowing you to buy Bitpass credits for like $3, which you could spend anywhere. It worked great for music, and Mperia was originally seen as a good gateway (and, frankly, loss leader) for getting people to adopt our system.

Alas, it never took off, and Bitpass's brilliant CEO and founder got sidelined by investors in favor of some ronin CEO from the ad world who bogged it down in awkward partnership deal negotiations until the money ran out. I'm still convinced, all these years later, that if they'd focused on the indie media angle, it could have taken off.

(I also wish that this band who played their first gigs ever at my coffeeshop open mic in Vegas called The Killers had put their record up pre-record label deal, as I asked them to. I think Brandon was down but their shitty manager told them not to, and later they sued him for being shady af, which I did warn them about.)
