Samsung Display to close LCD business (continue OLED and QD)
I have six different laptops within an arms length of me made in the last 7 years, almost all different brands (Acer, Asus, Dell, Lenovo, HP) and every single one of them has replaceable storage, memory, and wifi. None of them requires anything more than a screwdriver to swap all of those components.

Perhaps the highest end, lightest, thinnest laptops have these components soldered on, but it is certainly not the case for most middle-of-the-road laptops.
> I had transferred the domain from Namescheap to cloudflare because I had heard good things about them on here

Mistake number one - to follow the herd :) Mistake number 2 woudl be to use Cloudflare for anything - but that's another topic
>I don't think we're in for a "correction"

Even if that's the case, it will only change the ROI of big VCs from like 4,000x to "just" 1,000x. Boo hoo. (Edit #1: Ok, this is hyperbolic but you get the idea).

Similar to BTC, if you bought at 0.01USD you're still making a killing, even with the recent dip.

If you bought at the top though ...

Edit #2: Turns out I was spot on w/ the 4,000x figure, https://brandondonnelly.com/2019/05/10/5599/

BTW, YC's ROI is on the order of 50x-100x by my guesstimate (0.5B invested in ~3,000 companies, ~10% stake on a market valued at 400B before the dip); open to discuss it.
The irony in paying cash instead of using your card is that you're likely training their model to be more likely to flag transactions as fraudulent.

This sort of stuff is why explainable AI is IMO important. Assuming the CSR could see _why_ the original domain was flagged by the model as fraud, they could respond in a meaningful way, other than just requiring the OP to go and find someone with more authority than the machine to override the decision.

Unfortunately in these types of situations, getting a satisfying explanation of why something happened is incredibly rare - my understanding is that it's usually at best an educated guess.
> by 2005-ish Linux was already fairly dominant as a web server OS/platform.

I lived through it, and I don't have any citation, but this is incorrect. Linux did not take over the datacenter until 2011/12. In 2006, the main reason for Linux's existence was to fix the things Microsoft kept breaking, also, it was nice to revive older hardware that wouldn't perform with or run current OS versions. IBM actually tried to switch everything to Linux right around 2006, but en mass grey beard AIX system admins revolted, and IBM postponed the "migration." In 2006, Linux was just not mature or stable enough for big iron nor servers for popular websites, and Linux certainly wasn't dominant in any space in 2006, except maybe the dev hobbiest space.
One might even imagine someone would write something like this in an effort to reinforce the parents the point.

The strongest interpretation of "we'd love to release the full schematics" the subtext: but we can't / don't want to due to "reasons*, none of which are likely to satisfy everyone, so we'll try to avoid that discussion as it would help distract us all rather than getting on with our goals.
Most American households are owners and housing is the vast majority of middle class wealth. A 30% haircut there is pretty doom and gloom.
It’s an interesting demo, but I think the tech generates each frame individually only using previous frames and the text as guidance.

This means that every face in the clips is of a similar but not quite exactly the same person. For example the eye color of the subject can change, hair can become fuller, and in one case the subject became noticeably better looking as facial symmetry improved over the course of the generation.
Anecdotally, there have been 2-4 partial washouts in the last 12 years of “bad” companies. However each time this came up, new money came in and saved the day. Bubbles have been called since 2013, in 2016 Uber, Lyft, and Wework all started looking shaky. The big crypto rumpus each resulted in a crash.

Now, the problem is that if you took the pessimist view at any of these times - you’d have missed the big “wins”. But now we have 100 Billion dollar companies which may not be viable businesses. Few to none of the unicorns ever went down.
Reliance on Baltic timber was also why England was so keen to ensure no one power controlled the entrance to the Baltic.
Yeah -- probably only a handful of companies put their money and practice where their mouth is -- aka not a micromanagers' heaven. It is part of the process of a company's death if the company is in the innovation/tech sector.

Since they're also considering an ad-based tier, I wonder if instead of requesting a surcharge they just start showing ads in the secondary households.
“In 2002, a Department of Energy (DOE) official described typical waste disposal procedures used by Field Lab employees in the past. Workers would dispose of barrels filled with radioactive sodium by dumping them in a pond and then shooting the barrels with rifles so that they would explode and release their contents into the air.[29] Since, the pit has been remediated by having 22,000 cubic yards of soil removed down 10-12 feet to bedrock.[29]

On 26 July 1994, two scientists, Otto K. Heiney and Larry A. Pugh were killed when the chemicals they were illegally burning in open pits exploded. “

Exactly, to me from what I read in the media, it almost feels like VCs are rooting for a haircut to gain more bargaining power with companies. It has become expensive to get a piece of the pie and they want it easier. Not that I don't agree that everything is inflated, just that the only ones who I read talking about the downturn are he VCs and not the founders. (Also saying this as an outsider with limited exposure)
If you're not selling, it's unimportant. Unless you're a "real estate" investor, you're not gonna feel it at all.
I think that the biggest blocker to the market hitting ATHs that soon is rising interest rates, given the predictable valuation haircut that high-growth unprofitable companies take when interest rates rise. Rising interest rates increase the discounting rate on their future cash flows.
Agree - I think Intel would have a big say in what it wants released under no NDA. It's important to keep in mind - NDA's aren't always meant to prevent the average person from accessing it ever. In fact it'd be most likely primarily used to enable an Intel (or Framework) legal team to have some leverage to go for damages against the most extreme cases of abuse [1].

Also - w.r.t. to right to repair - I've always gotten from their marketing more of a right to repair at the iFixit level (swap SSD, memory, LCD panels, keyboards, etc.) versus de-popping the Intel CPU.
I looked up a couple currently sold Lenovo laptops and there aren't parts available according to browsing to the model in the Support section and clicking the Parts icon.

jetbrains uses this on their EAP software
Most software doesn’t kill people or cause any other type of financial/physical damage if it falls over. So regulating all software is a bad idea. However I 100% believe that all software that is critical to saving lives/avoiding damage should be formally proven correct using proof assistants. The people who are qualified to do this deserve to be licensed Software Engineers. People who can’t do this should not be called Software Engineers and should not be legally allowed to work on safety critical software.
For all of agrarian history resources have been unequally distributed - hoarded by few at the expense of many others. This is also true in nature - animals will viciously defend as much territory as they can, and not limit themselves to what they "need". Furthermore, having secured the best territory, food, and mating opportunities, they (whether as individuals or in groups) will spend their free time harassing their competitors. This is optimal behavior in a Darwinian environment - take as much as you can, and pull the proverbial ladder up behind you.

"Civilization" hasn't really changed the realities which give rise to these optima. It only defines the boundaries of acceptable behaviour. It doesn't change the rules of the game, as it were. We've not suddenly become a colony of ants, selflessly behaving as a single organism. Nor do I think it reasonable to carry the expectation that we suddenly will. Nor do I consider it particularly virtuous to compel us by force to emulate the ants.

Indeed we do have an excess of calories in our society, but that's not really the problem the parent post describes. It describes homelessness - often correlated with drug addiction and mental illness. When I see a homeless person, they don't seem much different to me than the similarly destitute animals sometimes depicted in nature documentaries. Those animals who, by failure or misfortune, have found themselves unable to compete with their peers and unable to carve out a niche for themselves. They wander listlessly, with ever decreasing energy and opportunity, until they finally succumb to their fate.

None of this strikes me as particularly "wrong" or "degrading" or really having any moral character at all. It is just an inevitable, inescapable, fact of life. To suppose otherwise is to think that human beings are somehow more special, or more intrinsically valuable than other animals. Given your comparisons to household pets, this clearly doesn't hold any water. In the scheme of things, we're just a hair more clever than our ape ancestors, and that has pushed us past a tipping point into civilization. I don't see how this makes us any "better" or more worthy.

Personally, given all of the above, I think it's best to embrace reality. We live in a world where optimal behaviour is self-interested and the cost of failure is total. This isn't a statement of values, it's an observation of fact. The only question that remains is how comfortable are you using force/authority to compel cooperation? I myself don't want to force anyone to do anything (and rather resent being forced myself). Authority should be used to ensure our coexistence is peaceful, and that we resolve disputes via due process. Beyond that however, I'm not very comfortable telling other people how they should behave, or whom they should help. I would rather die destitute than pry greedily into the pocket of an unwilling and uncharitable stranger.
Hopefully may or may not be sufficient for them to bet the farm on.

It depends on the terms. I know of at least one 2000s banking startup that was on track to make cash flow positive but had their cash clawed back by desperate investors that needed to cover other things. I used to own their CVS server (sparcserver 10) that I used as a random openbsd box for years. Bought it for $100 at their fire sale. Still had all their code on the HDD.
While AMD gets top billing for the compute cores, HPE used the acquired Cray Slingshot network to create this heterogeneous supercomputer. It has a 64-port, 12.8 Tb/s bandwidth switch, it scales to >250,000 host ports with maximum of 3 hops, and it uses Ethernet "plus optimized HPC functionality".

yikes

Elixir is one of many languages that are red flagged in my job filter.

I conditionally allow python where python >= 3.10, and ruby where sorbet is strictly enforced, )perhaps I'll make an exception for dialyzer)

I'm bullish on golang being in my filter for years to come..

Also I feel that people that care about ADTs wouldn't be using Elixir in the first place, so the evangelism feels wasted here.
Having done repairs/replacements on both a Thinkpad X1 and a Framework, all I can say is that the process is not remotely comparable.
I generally think Rocket Lab will be a successful SPAC story (eventually). They are so far ahead of the remaining small sat launch market that they while rise to meet SpaceX and Blue Origin in the reusable launcher market.
In one day, on statistcal average, ~90 overs are bowled. The day can be safely divided into 3 sessions equally. If spinners are bowling in majority, this number could extend to 100 overs per day as well.

On a strategic aspect, the players have to change their styles from slow to fast or fast to slow given these hidden limits.
That's possible, but also dismisses the role of the Fed in the current expansion. The "Fed put" has been replaced by a Fed dedicated to lowering demand until inflation comes down. If inflation doesn't come down this summer it could get ugly.
Interest rates have already been priced in for a while. Hence the S&P 500 going up 3% when the Fed announced they were hiking by 50 bp for the foreseeable future. The only way another crash happens is if the Fed is forced to hike by 75bp.
Nearly everyone either bought a new home or refinanced within the last 12-18 months due to historically low rates. This also means that almost all mortgages are pretty much capped out in terms of loan to value.

If houses lose 30% of their value, a substantial amount of people would be underwater and would likely be better off walking away. Could be very bad.
It can handle about 2 billion rows and columns. Aside from that, it's limited by your machine's memory. If you open a file in edit mode, the memory footprint is about 3-4x the file size. If you open in read-only mode, it's only a fraction of the file size (maybe 20-25% or so).
So if a VC can predict 1/10 companies that are going to be successful, does that mean they can pick 1/10 recessions/market crashes? All kidding aside, I agree with others here that the overreaction of doom and gloom really needs to be put in a wider context. The S&P has gone bonkers, RE has skyrocketed, and tech valuations are utter insanity.

If the S&P falls another 10%, if RE crashes 35%, and tech valuations go to a third of what they were getting in the last two years....so what? That's what things were in ~2019? I bought a house 18 months ago and if it lost 35% of what it's valued now, I'd still be up from when I bought it.

Sky high valuations will definitely kill some companies that were funded in the last two years, but will it affect most of them much?

If Databricks and Discord and Stripe lose a few billion from their valuations, other than some grumpy employees does that kill the company? I don't see how it's cause for a crash...
I would think Disney/Amazon wait to see how things pan out with Netflix first. In the short term, don't they stand to gain subscribers? Seems the only way they lose out is if the effort is a net positive, but that's not guaranteed, and it may be sensitive to how it's how it's rolled out.

The charitable interpretation is this is addressed and intended to apply to the executive staff only. Which isn’t unreasonable given their higher responsibilities and likely higher monetary compensation.

The comments on this thread make me sad. You can get 95% of the way there and there still seems to be just as many complaints.

I’m not in the target market and from the outside, I’m seeing a community of people that will never be happy with any product that exists and complain loudly about it.

It seems like the only way to win is not to play. :(

Edit: To be clear, I want Framework to succeed. I’ll probably end up with one at some point.
I wish the majority had published an opinion. I think this was the right call, but Alito makes some good points and I wish I could see their refutation. Is it because of irreparable harm from the disclosures or being forced to host others' speech? That seems reasonable, but I don't know the processes surrounding this enough to say.

I am interested in how this shakes out, because I don't see a clearly correct side. On one hand, being forced to host the speech of others seems like a First Amendment issue. On the other hand, spending a decade pitching yourself as how people connect now and then claiming not to be a public square seems troublesome.

Alito cites PruneYard Shopping v. Robins [1], which does seem to support his case. The Supreme Court held that California could force a private shopping center to allow protesters to gather signatures. The underlying reasoning was that the 1st Amendment only prohibits Congress from abridging free speech, and did not prevent a state from having more expansive free speech rights.

I'm curious what the opposing case law is, because I'm not a lawyer and not motivated enough to go find it.

But there's nothing particularly avian about the phonemes "bird". Your brain just matches that pattern of sounds to the nearest concept in thought-space, which happens to describe birds. That's what language is, a consistent mapping of words to concepts.

Which seems to also be what this article is describing.

Terms like "capitalism", "socialism", etc. don't really come up in serious economic discussion. They're fuzzy words that no one can seem to agree on the meaning of and they don't describe any real economies. At best they should be relegated to philosophy. Please clarify what exactly you mean when you say "capitalism".

> Only if the economic system is a giant ponzi scheme that depends on continuous, infinite growth.

Just because growth is good for a system doesn't make it a Ponzi scheme (or some other type of scam). Population decrease _obviously_ harms economies because it leads to fewer young people willing to take on entry-level jobs and more elderly people who aren't working anymore. That's not to say it can't be managed - economic growth is also driven by technological advancements which aren't directly dependent on population growth. But a decline in population would inarguably have _some_ kind of negative impact which would need to be handled correctly.

> liberal democracies and capitalist markets at-scale are incapable of organizing production in a way that doesn't destroy the earth

That's an incredibly bold claim with absolutely no evidence supporting it. And you seem to imply that there exists some other system distinct from whatever you call "capitalism" which can organize production in a less harmful way - again with no evidence.

In general, recent growth of rich "capitalist" countries has significantly outstripped their energy use (an imperfect metric of environmental harm, I know, but it's what I could find) https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/EG.GDP.PUSE.KO.PP?locat....

> It's funny, there was a post recently about "unsolved problems in economics."

IIRC that post was only kind of accurate at best. Popular culture's understanding of economics is hilariously bad.

> Because capitalism is incapable of solving the problem, and the economists know this, so they don't bother talking about it. They pretend it's an issue of state, when the profit mechanism itself is the cause for most externalities.

From where are you pulling the notion that "capitalism" (for some definition of that word) is incompatible with managing externalities? Or that economists somehow just ignore the existence of externalities?

This kind of attitude is distressingly common online and to me it seems no different from the mentality of anti-vaxxers. Just because a field of science is imperfect and distorted to some extent by government/corporate agendas doesn't give you carte blanche to throw out every bit of research ever done and substitute your own reality.
I was so jazzed about the Newton that I co-founded the Boston Computer Society Newton Users Group [1] a year before it launched. As far as I know, it was the first users group for the Newton.

Those were amazing days. We even managed to have a couple of members of the Newton team give us a sneak preview of the Newton (NDAs required) a couple of months before it launched.

Our group helped with the rollout at MacWorld Boston—we were upgrading OMPs early that morning with the latest firmware that had just come out.

Of all of the user groups and tech communities I've participated in, the community around the Newton was second to none, in terms of their vision, foresight and camaraderie.

The Newton Hall of Fame [2] is worth checking out for anyone who was part of the community back then, with many names that will bring back memories, including yours truly.

If interest rates have been priced in for a while why has the market gone down so much in May?

Also the Fed has already said that they are going to raise rates much higher than 75bp. And in fact they have to to control inflation. Interest rates should be above eight or 9% right now and it’s not.
