Varies wildly, and it's down to pure luck sometimes. I know two couples that live 200m from each other, and earn about the same. They're the best example of luck /life choices that I know of.

Couple 1: bought their house in 2011, have no kids and no car (because they live in a walkable city). So they overpaid their mortgage every month and paid it off. They are piling up savings and putting a lot into their pension funds. They could probably retire by the time they're 50.

Couple 2: bought their house in 2008, so it's overpriced and small. They only bought it to get onto the property ladder "before it's too late". They had kids around 2013. So they need 2x cars (because kids) and had to buy a larger home (2x mortgages, because home 1 was still in negative equity). The rental income from their first home is heavily taxed. Honestly, I can't see how they're ever going to retire. Their 2nd mortgage will be with them until they are both around 70 years old. Hopefully their first home will appreciate in value and they can sell it. If not, it'll provide some income (rent) or a place to boot the kids out to when they hit their 20s.

I'm using k8s even for my personal 2 node cluster. It's just so convenient to be able to use all the automation tools.

I can leave the cluster alone for weeks, and it'll take care of itself, my CI will build new docker containers, tooling will start rolling them out across the cluster, if deployments fail they get rolled back, and I get an email, etc.

At some point I was hands-off with the cluster for 6 months and everything kept itself up to date and running just fine.

I know that, but that wasn't my point. Yes, all major Lisps support vectors; but they all use lists a lot more than they use vectors. One of Lisp's major features is "code as data", but that code is almost all lists of lists (as opposed to vectors of vectors). I was talking about a Lisp-like language in which vectors, not lists, are the primary data structure. Possibly even one which doesn't have cons cells at all, only vectors. I am suggesting such a language might possibly work better in severely memory poor environments than a more traditional Lisp would.

The situation is a bit more complex than you're making it out to be. Leaving aside the somewhat unique politics of Israel, it is a much smaller and more unified country than the US--the problems in the US are simply orders of magnitude bigger, even if you were to only consider California. If the solutions were in any way "easy" the drought problem would have been solved already. It isn't, and the percentage of the US with drought conditions isn't getting any smaller.

Chrome fires many processes and creates an IPC based comm-network between them to isolate stuff. It's somewhat abusing your OS to get what its want in terms of isolation and whatnot.

(Which is similar to how K8S abuses ip-tables and makes it useless for other ends, and makes you install a dedicated firewall in front of your ingress path, but let's not digress).

On the other hand, Firefox is neither chromium based, nor is a cousin of it. It's a completely different codebase, inherited from Netscape days and evolved up to this point.

As another test point, Firefox doesn't even blink at a symmetric gigabit connection going at full speed (my network is capped by my NIC, the pipe is way fatter).
Qualcomm is well represented b/c it's a wireless pioneer who helped define the wireless industry as we know it today. Why do you think SSO's are "highly political"? Do you have any faintest idea how a patent becomes a SEP -- or how royalties are collected? or are you even aware of the fact that Qualcomm who more or less single handledly created the CDMA standard is just a leading patent holder in recent wirelss standard.

I get that there were some aspects of Qualcomm licensing practices weren't quite kosher, but seems there are lot of folks parroting talking points from Apple who orchestrated the original lawsuit along with FTC behind the door. If you want to talk about "political power," we could talk about Apple all day.

I honestly don't understand this colloquial language of "printing money" just call it what it is, borrowing money or just plain old debt. There is no need for secret ingroup language or additional indirection, there is no conspiracy here. The real world is more boring than you think.

The government borrowed money and increased its debts by trillions of dollars, that alone is insane enough, there is no need for some mythical "money printing" that is supposed to be the last straw that breaks the camels back.
I think it is more vicious than this, as a powerful person, you want your children to continue in the same sphere.

I am just curious as to what data suggests this is going to be a hugely popular thing. In my mind there are two examples of recent products that were on the same lines... Second Life and 3D TVs. Both were unsuccessful.

I'm just not seeing where the insight comes from that this is something people will want on a huge scale. Even if you solve the current problems of the headsets being painful to wear over long periods. I just don't think people want their attention to be hijacked.
No, and he's not being charged with "insider trading" (because it doesn't exist for art / collectibles). Typically any item that hits the OpenSea front page has already been listed (usually days or weeks later). The listing of the most popular NFTs occurs when their custom smart contract goes live on-chain, and is usually accompanied with a custom "mint" website. OpenSea automatically lists any ERC721 that gets created (although will sometimes manually de-list projects for copyright violations or other issues).

He definitely took advantage of privileged information. He definitely should have been fired and fined. But these are not securities. NFT art drops do not have "earnings calls" and quarterly reports or anything of the sort.

He was front running the boost in sales activity that occurs when a project gets featured on the front page of OpenSea.io. That's the extent of it.
XbattleAI did a TCP connection version, I can't remember if it was good enough. See. https://github.com/robertjschulz/xbattleai

The closed source javascript game https://generals.io is a good simplification of XBattle, I've seen one OSS server reimplementation of it.

If you can find the code for Europa I'm interested, I think it was released as OSS but I couldn't find it when looking around.

Among the design decisions that Satisfactory made meaningless by poor balance, Weapons is solidly middling. It would make sense if you had to clear areas of enemies to unlock the ability to build on them, and/or if higher-tier weapons were required to defeat higher-tier enemies (the kittens). As it stands now, it's such a non-mechanic - You get Xeno Basher and are more or less set until enemies are made completely meaningless by rifles. They've just reworked the system and it's even more meaningless by the addition of new ammo types and cool things to do with them, which I hope is a precursor to making you use those ammo types. There is the potential and even promise of such - See the "Crab Battle" trailer.

What really bothers me about Satisfactory is how inefficient rails and other modes of transport are compared to just running a long conveyor of advanced products. If you compact even two tiers onsite, a single T2 conveyor can handle a large area's worth of resources. Capacity and throughput for trains are limited by their limited input slots, too. Nested hub and spoke factories make a lot more sense than trying to ship everything raw to a central location, but all of the tier upgrades are around shipping more further.

Price comparison sites used to be very popular. But product search is extremely hard to do well. Users want to compare products on their merits, not based on how much the seller is bidding on PPC. And not just product features but also seller features: logistics, delivery, reliability, reviews etc.

I think Amazon has largely stolen that crown from Google already. Even though their search isn't great either.

Where Google seems to make money is the commercial search for products and services NOT sold on Amazon: SaaS, insurance, medical, legal etc.

The fundamental problem is that the PPC model doesn't align incentives: the search engine doesn't optimise for relevancy but for revenue. We need a different model.

Nah, but, writing (and rading) that article was a big mistake! :P
You call it printing but it happened in response to the private sector desiring to increase its net savings which can only happen if another party goes into further debt. By this logic, saving money is printing money because the money in your bank account is taken out of circulation and stagnates on your bank account, that stagnant money is added on top of the usual supply needed to keep the economy running. This is quite literally a conspiracy theory. Don't you see how ridiculous this framing is?

I would agree, not without a change in the market's parameters.

Environmental parameters coming into play can usher in such a change, though - I'm thinking of the lower carbon footprint of an airship compared to that of an airplane, that could push a change through.

I'm all for airships too, to be honest, as long as they are so cool and spacious as the one in Indiana Jones.

I could be way off, is this not like a broken clock is correct twice a day?

There are likely articles written about every legit investment as fraud with some set of numbers to back them up.

If you look hard enough there is "proof" that the usd dollar is a scam, which I think we can all agree is not true.

I doubt regulators can investigate every potential fraud and instead have to be wise where they allocate their limited resources.

This is an unfortunate case of that system not working, but I think that the system works enough that we can be sure 95% of listed companies are not fraudulent.

> It is not. There's still a significant amount of spam that doesn't have SPF, there's a lot of forgery and it's easier to filter if everyone used the holy trinity.

Absolutely. But but again, this will _not_ solve SPAM as the parent implied.

> That's what you see on and from gmail, but it's not the majority of spam.

There's a huge variability on sources, depending also on the class of users you have on your server. However I do keep all copies of spam that could pass greylisting for classification purposes since the early 2010' from various sources and honeypot addresses -- correctly signed spam _is_ the vast majority.

Low-effort spammers are pretty easy to weed out. And while rejecting messages without SPF is still not feasible, it wouldn't _improve_ the ham/spam filtering ratio in my case.

I don't care at all what the actual enclosure looks or feels like on most things, if I buy a gadget I'm almost always buying a case at the same time, and putting it on immediately.

My idea of good look and feel for a device is launching with some nice case colors and patterns that fit well.

Fussing with the plastic of the actual device is just wasteful, everyone has different preferences, far better to design from the start for a good fit with cases.

For things not typically used with cases, like power tools, my #1 favorite material for tech is glass reinforced nylon. It's very light, grippy with no nasty stickiness, doesn't take fingerprints, and had no disturbing bendiness, or any gloss that makes it look obviously out of place.

If it's meant to be held for a long time, I appreciate a proper rubber grip, but almost nothing needs that, and things that do need real silicone or TPE, in patterns, preferably with some airflow.

US and Europe make moves to secure access to Taiwanese tech

All 5G devices makers must implement Qualcomm's standard essential patents (aka, SEP). And there are many leading 5G patent holders like Qualcomm, Nokia, Huawei, etc -- they are in turn required to license them a fair, reasonable and non-discrimintory manner (aka, FRAND) to all "willing" licensees.

This lawsuit by FTC was largely concocted by Apple's multiyear efforts to pay as little as possible for Qualcomm's wireless invention (royalty) and save their bottomline -- with Apple repeatedly on the losing side not only against Qualcomm, but also every other wireless patent holders like Nokia, Ericsson, etc..

> As another test point, Firefox doesn't even blink at a symmetric gigabit connection going at full speed (my network is capped by my NIC, the pipe is way fatter).

FWIW Firefox under Linux (Firefox Browser 100.0.2 (64-bit)) behaves pretty much the same as Chrome. The speed raises quickly to 5-8Gb/s, then the UI starts choking, and the shown speed drops to 500Mb/s. It could be that there's some scheduling limit or other bottleneck hit in the OS itself, assuming these are different codebases (are they?).

Not technically "Chrome-based", but Firefox draws graphics using Chrome's Skia graphics engine.

Firefox is not completely independent from Chrome.

For my hobbies there are still bulletin boards! Of course, Reddit's very useful as well.

It's likely that there's good conversations I'm missing out on because I'm not on FB, but I'm not aware of what I'm missing out. Don't really care.

> Messenger is the sole mechanism I have to keep in touch

WhatsApp (owned by FB) is ubiquitous. Nobody uses Messenger, even if both parties are on it.

Where I'm at (I'm not in USA), FB was all the rage about 12 years ago. But now none of my friends — people who I actually know — use it. However, I think a lot of people use Instagram (again, under FB), which I've never tried.
The "royalty basis" claim was not the crux of the lawsuit (or the article).
> heavy weight transportation

Airships are absolute garbage at heavy lifting.

The lifting power of hydrogen or helium is about 1kg/m^3. This means as you scale weight up the size of your envelope grows quickly which greatly hinders manoeuvrability. And obviously the increase in envelope size means you need more structure and systems (propulsion & al) which are heavier and reduce your useful payload.
Welcome to the endgame of Always Late(tm) Inventory.

Since everybody has beaten any excess capacity out of their systems, nobody is in danger from competitors, and everybody can raise prices.

What are you going to do? Switch to somebody else? They only have 10% excess capacity, at best, and will take years to spin up anything extra because nobody higher in the supply chain has any excess either. And, if you threaten us and piss us off, you'll be completely screwed as we'll drop you completely since there are other customers who would be happy could take our capacity. Your competitor may not be able to knife you, but your suppliers sure can.

And nobody is going to build capacity because that takes money immediately for an uncertain return in the future. See: industrial toilet paper and Covid shortages

Buckle up. The ride is gonna be bumpy.

Toshiba unveils 2TB P300 SMR hard drives
Good luck Buf! I spent many years building an RPC framework around gRPC called Go Micro (https://github.com/asim/go-micro). I think one of the biggest issues was just resources to see it through but also my own desire to move beyond it towards a platform and services. I hope you're able to bring some sense to the gRPC world. It's mostly a networking library. The ecosystem around it is too low level. If anything abstractions and more developer friendly tooling would be a massive improvement. No one needs to see or touch the guts of gRPC. I wish I didn't have to peak into the internals but unfortunately that's what it takes to integrate it elsewhere.

I hope you build something awesome for the community!
