in whitewater at least, 45 deg became the norm 25 years ago (except for slalom where closer to 90 was normal). Then it shifted further and now 30 is pretty much standard though 0 and 45 are not unusual.
There's also a pretty silly but amusing film, "Pixels" that was on Netflix sometime ago, might still be there but this also has Q-Bert hopping about in it. It's a recommended watch even if only once ...
Thanks for making this.
Yes, she does sound like a Canadian. That accent does show up in the north, and especially on the west coast.

The first time I heard her speak, I thought she was Canadian. Alaska is beside northwestern Canada, so it all makes sense.
The knowledge-base there doesn't give any idea of what kind of criteria you are required to meet in order to receive the schematics. It just says "repair business". How many laptops need to come into the business before any information will be provided? Why are individuals not able to qualify (maybe they can? the page doesn't make it appear to be the case). Would there be any additional requirements for signing the confidentiality agreement such as having to sell products to customers or providing PII of customers? Both of those things are things that happen under other manufacturers repair programs.
There is good evidence that it's not greed though, because people didn't suddenly start to become greedy, and nobody _needs_ any "cover" to raise prices, prices get raised all the time based on profit maximization.
Cant you make the vertical height on mobile about 50px less, so it does not scroll in full screen on an iPhone SE. Thanks!
Bizarre you think that things are either fucked over/not fucked over. I'd point out that the vast majority of lawsuits are settled before hitting the courtroom, but I think you're too young to understand what those words mean.
You do have a point about the free tiers. I try to pay for things where I can, for example I'm a happy Fastmail user (and you should be too!) But paying for things is still no guarantee, see also: the OP. Google and Discord are both infamous for this. They treat paying users and free users the same. eBay charges for their service too, and I had a ~15 year old account banned. Why? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ If you've been collecting my money for the past 15 years, can't you spare 5 minutes to sanity check your AI?

I guess besides free users, the other exception is payment processors. I don't envy Stripe or PayPal.
Oh good, another technology that will be super useful for DRM but next to useless for real security.

I think what parent is getting at is: Year after year, we're always only a few years away from Climate Change being irreversible. The constant "We're almost beyond the point of no return, but not quite" declarations remind me of the Truck Almost Hits A Pole meme[1]. Or like preachers predicting "Jesus's return is just around the corner" every year for the last 2000 years. At some point message fatigue sets in and you start tuning it out. I know it's impossible to predict exactly when that point is, but why is it always "a few years away"?

This is an interesting (and hard) game. However, it's not representative of a "perfect" game; players often make choices that are independent of the knowledge that they obtained from their last guess. For example, it's very common to guess the first 1-3 words based on letter frequency and non-overlap vs. always using the results of the previous guess.

So again, overall it's cool, but too hard (for me) to seem fun, and it's a very different game than Wordle even though the primary mechanism is the same.
Honestly, the more I've thought about this problem the more that statement bothers me. It is just such a nonsense goal.

The reason the calculations are wrong are fundamentally related to why correcting the calculations leads to the correct probabilities. If you understand why the problem gives you the wrong result, you proceed to correcting it, and you get the right result - that doesn't mean you didn't understand. It means you did. You can tell you did, because you have the correct answer.

But if I show the calculations produce the correct answers, well, that is a step too far. We can now dismiss the understanding on the basis that it got the correct answer, apparently?

It's no wonder the author of the wiki writes such a bullshit claim - that no one can agree on a definitive conclusion. Their terms of engagement are self-defeating. Correctness is error, because correctness means you didn't /really/ understand. Its a no true scottsman fallacy - get the right answer, and you aren't engaging with the 'real' problem.

But its a flawed no true scottsman, because it defines something measurable: it tells us the goal, that it is to avoid this type of mistake in our thinking. And generalized algorithms for solving decisions problems that include this as a case which is successfully solved are many - and they just so happen to be in the imperfect information setting. And that setting has studied the problem of infinite recursion and has solutions for them. Which I can apply. To get the right answer. And, in general, avoid the problems they claim we aim to avoid.

More importantly and to the point of this thread - this isn't an intractable debate, because its been solved and used in production settings for literally decades. So what if some people are going to pretend it isn't? This isn't an unsolved problem. The actual game theory math is /well/ beyond this level of complexity. Its contending with things like environments where you have so much complexity you have to reduce to a blueprint abstraction, not stumbling at a decision problem that is quite literally simpler than rock paper scissors.

Say I want to invest in solar to generate revenue to pay for charging my EV driven 15k miles a year, or about 3750kWh (@250Wh/mi).

In my area, that will require about 2.6kW of PV, which at local rooftop PV rates of about $3/W would be $7800 pre Federal tax credit, or $5772 after the Federal tax credit.

Meanwhile, 3750 kWh purchased from my utility will cost me about $1000/year at today's electricity rates. So the payback time for my hypothetical rooftop PV array is about 6 years, give or take, after which I get free miles.

If I instead chose to invest in a group solar scheme like this, what is the upfront investment required to generate a guaranteed $1000/year. Extrapolating from the 7.3% rate of return on your website (the tool only allows 10 panels to be selected), it seems line that would require a $13698 investment.

For my rooftop solar example, the rate is return is 17% annualized, and the investment is $5772.

Other questions:

After 25 years when the panels are performing at 85% capacity can I keep using them?

Can I claim depreciation on the panels, since they are a purely depreciating investment (both in physical and in financial terms)?

What if a worker accidentally damages my panel(s). Does your insurance pay for that or mine?

My questions are sincere, not an attempt to shoot down the idea.

I'd much prefer to own PV in a field somewhere instead of
more attached to my house (I already have enough PV to provide for domestic electricity), and not much more roof space.
It’s rare that a company can cut this kind of cost in a way that leaves the employees feeling trusted, valued and respected. That feeling is what hurts retention and dries up hiring referrals.

Additionally, the service has a value in time and money saved. There are bound to be employees for which it tips the decision to leave sooner. When many different conveniences are cut, more employees cross that threshold.

Finally, there’s a meta aspect to this. If you know a decision is harmful to the company and you see your managers making the harmful decision, it can be harder to keep working for them.
For years, companies profitably sold products with full schematics - even your appliances would come with them.

I applaud the work you're doing, but I hope the Framework team will find a way to close the gap on the pieces of public documentation still missing. This shows why it's important, and how there's a difference between open source and "almost open source".
And "to" means "you"

It's basically a global / hoist with a more ergonomic way of accessing the state. Instead of a get_global_state() style function, you just have the Borg constructor.

It depends on the rep. You're playing Don Juan? No problem, know it like the back of my hand, just tell me when to show up and I'll watch for the tempo changes in all the usual places.

It's important to recognize this as a coda to the Fed-triggered recession of the early 80's, which kicked off the highly-outsourced era of the US economy. At that time, inflation and dollar stability was also a concern and the answer was simply to bring down the hammer and smash up some old-line businesses to clear way for new ones that were more engaged in the trends taking place towards computerization and globalization. With the start of this era we also saw the move towards income inequality and asset inflation.

Now, even though the scenario is nominally similar in some respects(high inflation triggers Fed action) the difference is that we're seeing a pendulum swing towards reindustrialization: security threats, logistical concerns, rising overseas wages and cheaper local energy all create the conditions to build businesses and employ workers in domestic markets. Unions have seen some reactivation after decades of decline. Everyone says the labor market is "tight", and sectors that can't keep up with wages or benefits are getting shoved aside.

That is, we're in an economy that is likely to boom again in a relatively short time frame, but in a manner that exceeds our existing institutions. It won't resemble the previous decade's combo of expensive assets, underemployment and easy credit.
Not the other person, but I miss Gradle every time I use something else. It feels like the correct tradeoff of complexity and power. The Bazel family always felt unapproachable, and things in the Python or Rust universe basically require a makefile or other orchestrator to make sure tasks are ordered correctly.

On the one hand, you're right. There were numerous flaws, in hardware, in software, in pricing, marketing, etc.

On the other hand, it was awesome. It could do things that nothing had done before, and weren't done by anything else for years (even to today) after.

You can argue that Apple made the wrong compromises, and the success of the Palm Pilot suggests that a lot of people agree with you. But then the Palm had a crappy screen too, so maybe that wasn't as much of an issue as you think.

And it was smaller than an iPad Mini. The Newton group had plans for smaller and larger models that were never brought to market. It was hard to get the battery life and CPU power into a smaller device back then. Still, the Palm, iPaq and various PocketPCs clearly hit a sweet spot of size.
I agree; I don't think mass meditating children is a viable solution, but that's not the only solution.

Anytime there is a pattern to bugs, I stop and think about the systemic changes that got us there in the first place. And that's what I'm advocating for here too.
The point isn't that they have or eventually have official French words for things. Its that regardless of what the actual people call it (les chips) amongst themselves, it is illegal to put that on a French product label or sign. They will literally shut you down for not being French enough if the hefty fines don't work.

When contact lenses came about, for the longest time there was no French word, so Quebec folk just called it by the English name because nobody knew what the official word would finally be.

Quebec has a literal Language Police. Here's an article about them harassing restaurants for writing too many English-only Facebook posts, and employing people who don't speak French well enough.

Nope, thanks for bringing it to my attention. Though not sure who to trust at this point haha...

I suspect this is due to their chip suppliers or something like that

The article stated that View Inc. (VIEW), Helbiz Inc. (HLBZ), and Lilium NV (LILM) are some of those, but there isn't a full list.
Quite common.

Usually someone develops a remote or mixed local/remote development environment which is easier to use than configuring the full stack to run locally, and then the ability to ever do so again atrophies until nobody can figure out how anymore.

In some companies I've worked at this is fine and not a major setback. In others, it's been a mess. I don't think that "can run the stack locally" is a good litmus test for developer experience - the overall development experience is a lot more nuanced than that. "How long does it take to get going again if you replace your computer" and "what's the turnaround time to alter a single line of code" are usually better questions.

> Can I use Go or Java to program a micro-controller with 128 kB of RAM? Not really (at least no using the official, non-crippled implementation) because even "hello world" in those languages exceeds that 128 kB limit.

You'd be surprised actually. Java Card is actually designed for memory constrained environments. It's not as featured as Java itself but it uses the same language syntax and class file format.

Sooner or later one of those repair shops is going to leak those schematics. Either intentionally or accidentally, it won't matter.

To me, it feels like Framework is creating a lot of extra work and damage to the brand, just for delaying the inevitable.

Instead of lawyers, hire engineers to support the repair shops. Wasn't the whole promise of Framework that it would be repairable?

Or maybe the laptop "that respects your right to repair", and "that respects the planet" and "that's designed to last" is just another load of marketing bs.

Yet another example of why the GPL is good and CLAs are bad. If this project were GPL'd with no CLA, then this would have been illegal to do.
That is certainly the primary goal of the legislation but reasonable secondary goals might be to reduce uncertainty like you’ve mentioned, and also remove scenarios where the punishment doesn’t fit the “crime”. I just don’t see the cost to have included psilocybin but I see the benefit to including it along with these other drugs.

Now you can have 2.5g if meth and show it to an officer with impunity, but the same amount of psilocybin, an objectively less harmful “drug”, could lead to imprisonment. It’s madness.

Also, it keeps the handbrake engaged on advancement of research and development in new psilocybin based therapies.
What's the big deal? Just upload it somewhere. Don't worry, nobody is embarrassed that the majority of it is copy-pasted reference schematics from parts vendors - that's how it is done!

So, it appears that companies which wish to avoid the regulatory requirements accompanying a conventional IPO, may have "good" reasons for doing so. Also, that those requirements for a conventional IPO, may actually do something to reduce the rate of the such companies being non-starters.

You need a bit more than each couple having two kids because of people who never marry, etc.

But I suspect we’re headed toward a world where many have zero or at most one kid - and a small few have many. Arguably more efficient, too.
> to repair shops under a confidentiality agreement

To be honest (and as a Framework laptop owner) that's a bit disappointing, the 'to repair shops' part and I assume some sort of bar to meet for that, I suppose I understand though. The link you post says pinouts are available, which following through to Github seems to mean just for connectors. I wonder if you could share the BoM and locations perhaps, so not a full schematic, but enough for someone to replace a faulty component like for like or with an equivalent part?

Seems to me that would protect what (I presume) you want to protect, while still giving owner-tinkerer-repairers basically everything they want?

> No one on the board or the executive staff was trying to be stupid. But to save $10,000 or so, they unintentionally launched an exodus of their best engineers.

Maybe the insight here is "keep your engineers happy, it's important". But I believe there is more to it on this story. The engineers heard "we could give you soda when we were small, now we're big, we cannot give you soda" and, to the rational mind, that makes no sense.

Maybe they left because they were sitting on a precarious equilibrium and the free sodas tilted the balances. But I think it was also that the engineers saw the sign on the wall, and thought "this guys have lost their collective corporate mind, let's bail before they have any more bright ideas".
Weak companies that didn't want the public scrutiny of a traditional IPO but wanted big investor bucks used SPACs and are now failing because they're weak. Totally unsurprising. SPACs should require the same public disclosure that is required in an IPO.
I have in the past updated photos on Wikipedia. A lot have photos from 10+ years ago which can be massively outdated.
Is one of the problems though is that the early audiences appreciate this kind of over-engineering? If your investors/buy-in folks are being shown early demos and you mention "and this thing is gonna scale seamlessly up to 1,000,000 users because of tech words A, B, and C" then they get excited. They don't understand A, B, or C. But what they just heard is that you're planning for Big. And that stokes their aspirations.

That knowledge base answer says:

> We also make full schematics and assembly drawings available to repair shops who get Framework products in for repair

But what about individuals who need to repair their own Framework products? If schematics and boardviews are only avaailable to repair shop businesses, that seems to completely contradict most of the copy on the framework site such as:

"Our philosophy is that by making well-considered design tradeoffs and trusting customers and repair shops with the access and information they need, we can make fantastic devices that are still easy to repair"
Dependency injection and lazy_property are excellent, I use those all the time. I've used visitor on occasion. The rest? Mostly meh, some are straight up bad.
I'm a capitalist, but this blows my mind: if there is a no-kidding demand for repairable equipment, then why is that demand unmet?

If it can be shown that the heavy equipment manufacturers are behaving as a cartel to capture and control the market, then that would seem a serious campaign issue, and candidates should be running to take care of the little guy.

Series hybrid (not pluggable) is now become popular here in Japan, like Nissan Note, Honda Fit, Daihatsu Rocky, and even minivans. Pros is that the mechanism is similar to BEV so not much R&D cost, and efficiency in city use. Cons is highway fuel efficiency (and lower power than pure ICE) but people not tend to drive highway frequently like US. BEVs are still far from affordable for average Japanese income for now, and plenty of people can't have outlet for rented parking.
