Poked around the start guide and the site but couldn't find much about what the Flipper Zero does.
It's certainly opinionated, I don't view 50-100 stops in ~30 miles as at all unreasonable.

Something which is rarely done but easily could be for a bike is regenerating first into a couple supercapacitors, which are 99% efficient and fill and discharge as fast as you can push current. They don't have the capacity to be as useful in cars, for a bike they can also provide a nice kick to overcome starting torque. The downside is it's another two drink can's worth of volume to add somewhere on the bike.
Any idea of instead of “traditional” fiber photons, if hollow core fiber is used if this changes the calculus?
> What about a recession would cause FB or Google to leave the advertising business, and not have some the largest advertising revenue whenever the recession is over?

I'm not suggesting they would leave the advertising business, I'm suggesting revenues could be lower as advertisers cut their spend, which would drop Google/FB revenue and make the current 12 PE more like a 25 during a recession. I guess, you can't just look at P/E ratios. They don't tell you too much.

> I don't see any titans falling in the next few years.

Well, they've fallen quite a bit since January. Haven't they?

I don't see anyone going bankrupt or anything, so if that's what you mean then yea sure I agree - hence I think they're attractive to buy now as well.
Same here - I've had my SyncMaster 226BW for roughly 15 years now and it's still a great monitor, but a few years back I had to replace one of the capacitors after the screen would turn "on" but had nothing on the display. Did the same thing with a Dell monitor a few months back that I use as a second display. I am guessing that bad caps are the single biggest point of failure on monitors.
I’m curious of what sort of examples you would categorize as “people who were trying to make things better but ended up getting branded as racist or nazi”.
Imagine if the old law of 1% applied here. That is on the internet, 99% of all content is generated by 1% of the users.

Now if we include "users" as "content" (bots, ai, scripts), we have a very brooding fringe theory similar to "dead internet theory."

In my experience... it's pretty obvious and prolific how much automation is in Twitter. It's basically a public cyber-war; you have state actors and non state-actors using military grade propaganda tools for 'reality framing' between military interests, government interests, and corporate interests.
Netflix Fires Major Warning Shot at Its Woke Employees with New ‘Culture Memo’
There are issues with type safety when using raw pointers (e.g. void ) over alternatives.

Reminds me of the good ol' days when Modula-2 had .def (definition) and *.mod2 (implementation) files, and you could compile the definition files alone to get binaries of the interface files that you could write and compile against in a typesafe way before the interfaces were even implemented

And as far as I recall the decoupling also made things compile fast (e.g. with Applications Systems Heidelberg's Modula-2 on the Atari ST 520+).
Which is exactly what the "ask below" is trying to get you to do; you act differently (emotionally) in a bidding war than in a price negotiation.

This is also a central banking fail in so far that there's that much liquidity in the market that can't find a productive outlet.

There's a lot of money, but also not enough concentrated in one spot to do really useful ventures like large infrastructure projects. So instead the money is distorting everything.

Imagine if lending was less cheap for home owners but it was still cheap for governments or really large companies to be able to build train lines or advanced manufacturing or affordable medium density housing.

I see the problem as too much credit is able to be spent with too little focus. So silly stuff is being funded because the money is becoming meaningless.
How can anyone help anyone out when an entire zip code loses water? And I don't think people understand just how much clean water our society uses, especially in the food supply chain.

Did Snowden's leaks prove this, or was it simply reported by him?

In any case, I believe his report on this matter was accurate/truthful.
It depends on the stage of the startup, but the books should probably be open to people who have made it to the offer stage until at least series b.

if they're not, I'd be worried about the financials, the culture, or both.

Refusing to disclose the number of outstanding shares is a huge red flag.
I mean we have to be realistic in that people will use cloud infrastructure, so it will start with the base infrastructure components they have access to.
Seems like a risky move but this whole thing is high risk so, it’s not out of the question.
I'm a little confused about the "structured concurency" example?

I don't understand what the advantages of it are?

Are Virtual Threads resources that need to be explicitly cleaned up? Can't the pool grow and shrink based on demand?

In Go for example, I don't remember having to clean up fibers manually.

For example, how is the structured concurency example different from:

(defn run-concurrently []
(let [f1 (future (identity 2000))
f2 (future (prn "Starting a long running operation"))
f3 (future (Thread/sleep 1000))
f4 (future (prn "Done."))]
(run! deref [f1 f2 f3 f4])
4))

(run-concurrently)

Also as an FYI, the example can be simplified by using `with-open`.
Decentralization doesn't stop the people with the most bots from controlling the online narrative.

Backends are pretty well-isolated parts of the code. You can see how simple the LLVM one is for example.

Which is definitely a piece of data to look at while making an investment decision.

One thing I'd recommend is asking how was Google as a company different in say, 2008 where revenues increased despite the recession compared to now.
Ukraine was in civil war when Russia took Crimea.
Maybe you think the investments he made are bad, but obviously he doesn't think so. However, you think your company is good enough to pitch to him to get investment, and he doesn't think so. There's nothing wrong with either side, it's just a difference of opinion. That doesn't necessarily make the "entire industry [...] full of bullshit."

I interned with the navy in college. I wanted to be a federal employee when I graduated. I even had special consideration due to my internship, and my disability. Did I? No. I did not.

The experience of trying to get a federal job was abysmally bad. First, there are precious few GS positions that actually do coding. Everything seems to be contracted out. The few positions that were there were very hard to apply for. I applied to every position I found across 5 different states, and my resume simply disappeared into a bureaucratic black hole.

After a month or so of that nonsense, I threw in the towel and looked for something in the private sector. The difference was a breath of fresh air. I got interviews in days, offers in weeks, and I've made enough money that I'm basically financially independent at this point.

The government has a long way to go with their hiring process.

If you can get several tens of millions of dollars, liquid, on fairly short notice, there's almost nothing you can't buy on a whim. You may as well have infinite money. It doesn't matter that you can't liquidate another 90-99% of your net worth easily. You borrow $60m for that second yacht, then pay it off as soon as the tax situation looks favorable for realizing some gains. No big deal. Live like (er, better than) a king, pay taxes like a pauper. It's the American way.

Larger sums are only really useful for making big-splash investments. Like this. As far as personal spending goes, it's no obstacle, so it doesn't matter that they can't easily turn their entire net worth into a literal billions-of-dollars balance in a checking account.
The training of fresh immigrants is true. As a Master's student we were trained to be afraid of the cops and that they can shoot you if you make any unwanted movements.

America lives in constant fear of everything and it only seems to be getting worse.
It's rampant tin-foil hat speculation, but the ordering of events may not be what we've seen.

Yesterday the big story was that two higher-ups in Twitter were fired unexpectedly, one of whom was on paternity leave at the time. Some amount of shake-up is normal in these kind of conditions, but that doesn't rule out something more. Today Elon's pushing back, suggesting the 5% bot rate may be inaccurately low. It's possible the events are related, some misrepresentation was found while investigating the figures, and that's why the firings happened yesterday.

If that happened, it'd be in Elon's interest to draw attention to it and that the deal is "on hold," as Twitter will be on the hook for that $1 billion breakup fee unless they can renegotiate terms favorable to Elon. And even if the deal dropped completely, now Twitter implicitly will be on the hook for misrepresenting to existing investors the percentage of bots for however long they've been doing it.

I guess we'll see. The truth will probably be more boring.
As a counterpoint to "everyone's very firm minimum acceptable comp is the top of your published range", I find that most jobs with a published salary range seem to pay just low enough for me to not want to go through the trouble of applying.
User mode file system library for windows with FUSE Wrapper
Tangential. But I work in corporate finance. I'm generally privy to a large amount of information about the companies I work for. If there's something I don't know, I ask for it and people share because of my role. If I'm interviewing, we discuss a lot more than most people would about the health of the company that I would be joining. It's normal.

That said. I'm obviously heavily biased but I have realized MOST non-finance employees know very little about the financial health of their employer or even how the business model operates, or even what is the current/future strategy of the company.

When something MAJOR is announced, M&A/leadership changes/etc, the questions the room typically ask are: 1) will we still get 401k match 2) will we get fired 3) will the office relocate. People don't really care too much about the company, they care about how it's volatility impacts them. I don't think it's such a bad thing, but just pointing it out. In startup land, volatility is huge and the highs and lows can occur with rapid frequency. You have to be an assessor of risk when changing any jobs and this is part of it.
How the Rise of the ‘Softboy’ Fueled the Culture Wars
I've grown anxious the past few years watching salaries skyrocket while I've played it safe, remaining at my company with years of seniority, but average pay that has been eaten away by COL and inflation increases, though in a very stable industry related to defense.

Every time I got the urge to hit Leetcode and start interviewing for a new gig with a 50% pay increase, I remember 2007-2009 and getting laid off from 3 different companies as the economy imploded. And it's hard to remember now, but things never really felt truly safe, even with in-demand tech skills, until 2016 or so, when suddenly recruiter email started really exploding with competitive offers.

Watching the market cool down leads me to believe we're going into another downturn, and I'm becoming more confident I made a good bet by not jumping ship in the last year or two.
It only happens once a season or less for me and is almost always due to adjustment problems. And 90% of the time I can get it back on without touching the chain by using the front or rear derailleur.

If you're riding a single speed bike and the chain regularly derails, then that definitely sounds like a chain tension or alignment problem.
Hardware hacks happen all the time, as well as social hacking. There is nothing that can prevent state actors from getting access to corporate networks.

>The unusual feature of this module is the encapsulated module in the upper left. This module appears to contain three transistors and five capacitors. It's unclear why these components are encased in plastic. The block diagram for this module doesn't show any special circuitry that would motivate encapsulation. I hope to reverse-engineer this module to figure this out.
> Social networks also aren’t allowed to ban users based on their location in Texas, a provision clearly meant to stop sites from simply pulling out of the state — which might be the simplest solution for many of them.

How does this work? Is Texas in a position to say a company can't NOT do business in Texas? Which amounts to saying if it does business in other states then it must also serve Texas. Doesn't seem like it would hold up.
There's an argument to be made that water should be treated as public good, like air, rather than as private property. Water rights are an abstraction, much like copyrights. If the concept of owning rights to water is doing more economic harm than good, it should be reconsidered.

You're describing a high-end e-bike, which is basically an e-motorcycle with less regulation.

A high-end regular-bike has electronic shifting and a power meter and that's about it. And you're talking many thousands of dollars worth of road bike. It's like seeing a Ferrari or a Lambo rolling down city streets. They exist but they're rare.
It makes sense, in theory the message should paint in the first animation frame but if you got in there before it you may sort before that happens. So you are requesting to wait for the frame after that. I'm sure there's some way it's not "guaranteed" because it seems nothing in front end is guaranteed without some asterisks, but this is the most logically correct solution I've seen.
Correct. This is the main reason.
The Internet’s Creator Tim Berners-Lee Wants Metaverse VR
This is my personal opinion, but this article feels completely out of touch.

More Americans are probably a lot more worried about the dreadful overall economic conditions starting than continuing to be concerned over an illness that most people face no significant statistical risk from due to vaccinations, already having experienced Covid, or never being in a risk category in the first place.

It speaks to the economic privilege that this author has that he can afford to continue to be overly concerned about Covid and not the reality of deciding whether or not he can afford to buy a tank of gas and groceries next week.
It's very funny to speak about privacy while the EU is pushing literal Chat Control at the same time.

I'd much rather have Big Tech and the money it brings home - nobody is forced to use their free services, I'm simply avoiding them - than have Chat Control forced down my throat unless I move to the Land of Free PII Violations.
An old trick I learned from a tech who repaired CRT televisions was to test components by spraying them with an aerosol. If something was close to failing, the cold propellant would push it over the edge and you could target individual capacitors to identify which ones need replacement.
Make Integration Testing Fun Again
It's not punishment. Stock price * shares != actual value of the company. As more shares go onto market, demand naturally decreases as supply satiates existing demand, thus causing the price to decrease. I'm sure this is covered in some basic economics course that I never took.
If he didn't sell the stocks then he wouldn't have to pay any tax on unrealized gains. According to him, he sold the stocks so they he would pay taxes in response to criticism of not paying his "fair share" in taxes.

And that is outdated information, as we clearly see that Musk is now thinking of pulling out of the deal entirely.

When Elon Musk's networth is almost entirely tied up in TSLA shares, when the price of those shares declines by 20%+, it changes plans. Banks are less likely to take Elon Musk's collateral (almost certainly TSLA shares), Musk himself loses a chunk of networth and loses an ability to raise dollars, etc. etc.
It's disingenuous to conflate SF's micro-climate with the entirety of the bay area. I agree that SF weather is insufferable, and I live in San Jose, which is entirely different ... and different again that the mid/upper-peninsula, or the Santa Cruz Mountains, or Marin, or Berkeley.

I think what a lots of folks don't understand until they're living here is exactly how different things are in different areas around the bay.

Generally speaking, I think south bay weather is approximately ideal, if it wasn't for fire season, which can ruin entire summers & falls depending.
I don't get your argument. What I'm saying is that complexity isn't necessarily directly correlated to reliability.

They wouldn’t leave the as industry, but their revenue would suffer greatly.

A decent percentage of Google ad spend is waste/useless/whatever. So during a recession companies are probably tightening their ad spend and getting more precise.
They also refuse to pay market rates on the basis of skills.
> Qualcomm did use their own design called Kyro for a little while

Before that, they had Scorpion and Krait, which were both quite successful 32 bit ARM compatible cores at the time.

Kryo started as an attempt to quickly launch a custom 64 bit ARM core and the attempt failed badly enough that Qualcomm abandoned designing their own cores and turned to licensing semi-custom cores from ARM instead.
He wouldn't consider them bad investments though.

You didn't see much response to COVID? We spent more on COVID relief and response than we spent on WWII. $40B is a rounding error in what we spent on COVID.
That's just one wallet.

It was popular because it was the first to gain traction.

It is not the only one anymore.
I think I didn't articulate my point well. It's that complexity isn't a 1 to 1 mapping to reliability. There is plenty of complex equipment that fits your criteria. My pool pump is full of electronics, has moving parts, sits in inclement weather, and lasts for years. There is equipment that can sit near the combustion chamber of a rocket experiencing extreme g forces, pressure, and heat and survive. It can be engineered.

Searching for "uber" in the Economist archive, I would not classify their coverage as "cheerleading" or even positive. Most articles seem either neutral or negative, including headlines like "Can Uber ever make money?"

I would also be interested to see examples of the problem you're describing.
Yeah, sorry, should have included that in my other post, but I do agree that Jobs is a decent analog, too. Similar public profile, sort-of similar reputation, though Jobs wasn't as prone to strident, public bullshitting.
Why do people think they have a better idea of his abilities and contributions than those who know him personally?

John Carmack: "Elon is definitely an engineer. He is deeply involved with technical decisions at spacex and Tesla. He doesn’t write code or do CAD today, but he is perfectly capable of doing so."

Here's Kevin Watson, who developed the avionics for Falcon 9 and Dragon and previously managed the Advanced Computer Systems and Technologies Group within the Autonomous Systems Division at NASA's Jet Propulsion laboratory:

"Elon is brilliant. He’s involved in just about everything. He understands everything. If he asks you a question, you learn very quickly not to go give him a gut reaction.

He wants answers that get down to the fundamental laws of physics. One thing he understands really well is the physics of the rockets. He understands that like nobody else. The stuff I have seen him do in his head is crazy.

He can get in discussions about flying a satellite and whether we can make the right orbit and deliver Dragon at the same time and solve all these equations in real time. It’s amazing to watch the amount of knowledge he has accumulated over the years."

Garrett Reisman, engineer and former NASA astronaut:

"What's really remarkable to me is the breadth of his knowledge. I mean I've met a lot of super super smart people but they're usually super super smart on one thing and he's able to have conversations with our top engineers about the software, and the most arcane aspects of that and then he'll turn to our manufacturing engineers and have discussions about some really esoteric welding process for some crazy alloy and he'll just go back and forth and his ability to do that across the different technologies that go into rockets cars and everything else he does."
