I'm surprised that in 2022, the iPad is still a single user device. Android tablets at least allow for multiple users on a single device and iPadOS is capable of handling multiple users in special education mode. What gives, Apple?
No, that's for their "full self driving" system.

There are tutorials on social media for how to circumvent the driver monitoring for 'autopilot'. See for example, the instance in the article of a Tesla going down the highway with the driver in the back seat.
disclaimer: i'm a bit of a lateral thinker so you might not like some of my metaphors, but fwiw they're backed by a biochem degree and a not-insignificant number of years working at intersection of tech/society/democracy.

I'm not a crypto fan, but am mostly understanding it as a financial churn mechanism. Wealth and power tend to pool and become self-stabilizing -- power is inherently conservative imho. Assets moving between hands is part of renewal cycles -- generally a chance for change or something different. It allows new possibilities to be stumbled into. Even just assuming we're doing a random walk of the possibility space, churn is better than stasis, no?

If there's any value in crypto, it's imho mostly about moving money between hands. Crypto has funded a ton of garbage and fads, but also a ton of research and advocacy. So yea, new garbage, but also new and different research and advocacy, different than we'd have had otherwise. I could certainly judge and express opinions on which hands it's moving between (and that's a site of action for justice work) but it can still be a net positive even when that's flawed.

re: moving X between hands. The value here is comparable to how some believe the main value of democracy is that it's a stable system for moving power between hands, and nothing more.[1] We wrap it in a nice story, but some smart people genuinely believe it's nothing more, and that most things we tell us about how and why democracy works, it's pretty suspect. (I've worked in democratic reform movements for almost a decade, so that's not an unconsidered perspective.)

Again, speaking of "churn" and keeping power circulating. The value of churn is kinda like the value of tidal action or diurnal rhythms generally -- it doesn't have a goal on which to judge whether it's "succeeding", but from the churn and flow of resources, it supports ecologies that find new niches. So maybe crypto has no purpose. But even if pointless, it can still have a role in the environment we live in.

Tides, democracy, american dreams, crypto or any goldrush past -- it's maybe stuff with mystique because each is a churn that creates some sort of renewal, like turning the earth with a shovel and mixing it up. I'm glad for most any churn, especially in a society lacking it in certain spaces, even if it leaves things to be desired. imho the alternative is to allow power to entrench more and more, which isn't the team i want to be on while wishing crypto away * shrug *

I've seen PHP applications use 30% of their CPU in the “realpath cache”, which at the time was a super-slow (O(n²) in this case) home-grown hash table for caching the result of realpath(), which was called all the time because someone decided include_once() needed to run its paths through realpath() in case someone included a file multiple time through symlinks. And I guess they couldn't trust inode numbers or Windows didn't have them or something…

I hope it's gone. I really do hope it's gone :-)
The issue isn't so much that one single separate service is priced in a certain way. When you add up dozens and dozens of services for various split needs for the business, and each one of them has a $/user/month thing and then to build decent security into it all, you double or triple that amount per service. It adds up, very quickly.

For the good of the Internet, the security of the global entirety of things, it is very very wise if everyone makes an attempt to make the defaults sane and secure, including things like this. It surely is a differentiator between "individual" and "business", but it shouldn't have to be. I agree wholehartedly with the sso.tax site that it's just one way for business to attempt to make revenue out of a basic need that any modern company would have.

Make the profit of real value added services for enterprises, automation, integrations, support, advanced features that gives insights or saves money or whatever; but don't be sneaky with the security aspect, is basically what I'm saying.

Compare it with streaming services. No one can argue against Netflix being particularly expensive. Anyone can afford it. It's just one latte per month. But when you not only want to consume what is on Netflix, you have to get another service, and another, and another, and another. Very very soon the aggregated cost starts to be very noticeable for a lot of people. And piracy makes a comeback.
"Microservices" (ie. SOA) absolutely adds complexity, the question is whether the benefits are worth the overhead. The answer varies according to domain, but is largely a function of team size.
I use Vivaldi and there are no speed issues except the initial startup time and new window launch time. Since I always have a browser open on my machine the initial startup time isn't noticed and since I use tabs+tab-groups the new window time also doesn't matter, but it is a real pain when I /do/ want multiple windows.

Nothing new in principle, "transition from quantity to quality" (quantitative differences beyond a certain point pass into qualitative changes) was discovered by Hegel around 1800.

So nice, working application after adding next 5,000 more lines here and there suddenly becomes too fragile to perform its main function.

Usual solution for such problems is composition/modularization. Software shall be made of simple but composable modules.

Like text editor (relatively simple) shall be composable with syntax analyzers to make IDE possible. The very same syntax analyzers should be usable as web server modules for the Web.

That dream requires design of (again) simple but powerful architectures of composition/modularization.

Seems like each generation of software philosophers approaching this task anew. Linux with its stdin/stdout modularization. MS Windows with OLE. COM and CORBA, and so on.

Probably it's time to evolve something like COM and CORBA into something new?
Tesla markets their system as autopilot and full self driving. They are misleading people into believing the car is capable of driving itself. No one reads TACC/lane keeping and thinks "cool I can just play on my phone", But tons of tesla owners think that. It's not a coincidence.

The anti-circumvention aspect of the DMCA is absurd.
Yes, absolutely. I mentioned this in another comment here: I get at least a 2-second lag when opening a new window. This is annoying because I prefer to use windows instead of tabs and manage them with my tiling window manager. I’m handling it by, instead of closing a window when I’m done with it, leaving it open to receive a new URL.
To your point on being flexible and checking assumptions, I advocate founders to “fall in love with the problem” and clearly articulate why they want to become become experts on this specific problem.

In my experience, business interests always override everything else. Often times to the detriment of the business, and often as soon as mere 3 to 6 months in the future.
> in attracting a docile though technically competent work force

Bingo. IMO this hits the nail absolutely on the head. $BigCo wants docile people who will show up and jump when they're told to jump without asking questions or making a fuss. And they'll throw a big bag of money at you to do so.

Obviously this is an incredibly narrow/limiting employment experience. But different strokes for different folks I guess

Imagine the claim is justified, and pools of quantum fluids can transition into a phase that is decoupled from electromagnetic fields, and become dark matter. It would still be baryonic and would become ordinary matter just by heat. We don't have a lot of experience with what happens when quantum mechanical effects expand to a cosmological scale. Who would be surprised to find new physics there.
I looked at reMarkable and it seems cool, except that they push subscription models that I really can't get behind.

So the only use for crypto is that regulations haven’t caught up to it? Used to pay illegal immigrants and circumvent sanctions, which is still illegal whether or not crypto makes it possible.

UX and interfaces are important. If it's marketed and described as "autopilot" or "full self driving," then a reasonable person expects it to automatically pilot the vehicle I'm normal driving situations. Tesla is unfortunately trapped in a all too common story of AI development: over-hype and under-deliver.
For starters, have you read the first sentence on https://www.tesla.com/autopilot ?

> Tesla cars come standard with advanced hardware capable of providing Autopilot features, and full self-driving capabilities—through software updates designed to improve functionality over time.

And this is the stuff that is filtered through their communications staff; the stuff Musk has said is even more egregious.
Yes, I would advocate the removal of the SSO-less trial discount. Rationale: most of these "trials" are otherwise fully capable and lend themselves very well to becoming long-term ways of doing things. "Nothing is more definitive than the temporary."

Or, to view it from a different angle - SSO is not a/the feature that should be removed to make it the "trial".

And from yet another angle: you could consider removing (or not offering) SSO similar to selling a car without seat belts (ignoring aspects of legality). It's not a problem until it is. But if you want the seat belts to be effective, you need to always have and use them from minute zero.
> It sounds like a Fat FIRE concept that is out of reach of most people. Or at least something the average person would only be able to access later in life.

It's not that far off the amount sunk into a equity+interest view of a mortgage ... eg a $500K house would be about $1M after interest. A $1M portfolio would provide about $2500-3300 a month in passive inflation proof income[1]. A quick rule of thumb is a place should rent annually for about 1/19th - 1/20th the purchase price which conveniently is about ~2200 a month...

So overall if someone could afford to buy, they likely could also afford to choose a portfolio and a reasonable rent.

[1]: we'll have to wait and see how true this remains through the kind of inflation we're seeing lately though...

> I have heard of many renters painting their apartments.

Yes, but they likely either were renting a place that had terrible paint (doing their land lord a favor) or had to return it to the original colors at the end of the lease, else face "repair" costs

Two key issues with a rule like that:

1. What forces me to comply with this rule?

2. What does "able to be implemented" mean? In theory, you can re-implement my entire codebase. In practice, you'll find it very difficult to maintain feature parity with me if I repeatedly extend the protocol faster than you can implement it. Especially if I don't publish my code or document the extension or if I simply have more resources available to me (either in terms of server-bandwidth or programmers).
This is very cool! I've been looking for some time for a project that has:

- a stellar editing UI for "prototyping" a well-edited video

- a well-documented timeline-level API for the file format that can replace, timeshift, and add clips and tracks, and

- be able to run on cloud hardware as a render service

Imagine creating a promotional video, then automatically swapping in each client's logo and re-rendering it for each one! The possibilities here are endless.

DaVinci Resolve can't be beat for #1 and seems to support #3 well, but its API seems designed more for plugins than for automated authoring. For instance, the documentation at https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=9927... seems to give just read-only access to a lot of things at the TimelineClip level. And https://github.com/pedrolabonia/pydavinci has exactly one contributor.

By contrast, Shotcut seems to be built on, and by, https://mltframework.org/ with a close correspondence between the runtime API surface and the file system representation of a file, and it's fully open-source. Very possibly the sweet spot we've been looking for!
I think the people complaining about speed use new windows instead of tabs. I love Vivaldi but new windows take that 2-3 second load time meaning I don't even consider opening new windows outside very specific situations. Tab tiling alleviates this but then I have to remember different focus/bind schemes from my window manager.
The point is that they are an investor and do not run the company. Would they have known about allocation strategy, how to evaluate that? Even if they did know, are they in a position to control or dictate anything within the company?

This applies to investors at any company. At some point you have decided to believe in the founders and executive team, rather than deal with daily operations and micromanaging your portfolio

Cost to extract power does not scale with power density of plasma.

No optimistic projections for cost of extraction are better than idle speculation. Practicality of extracting diffuse 3H from a molten metal blanket, needed for fuel, is as previously noted purely speculative.

Renewables are driving cost per kWh well below any plausible, or even aspirational, figures.

The only fusion technology that has any chance of competitive extraction cost is Helion's, which does not depend on a round trip through heat. But it depends on a regular supply of 3He, a decay product of 3H which must be produced via operation, filtered from the working plasma, and then held for its 12y decay half life. It is anyway not clear if its process can be achieved at all.

SMRs depend on the round trip through heat and incur all the other costs of traditional nukes, so offer no prospect of keeping up with plummeting cost of renewables.

Fission's fuel rod meltdown is not the only catastrophic failure mode available. Fukushima demonstrated hydrogen detonation. Breached containment of thousand-ton inflammable, caustic, radioactive molten metal neutron absorption blanket would be adequately catastrophic.

It's definitely not normalized the way Mr/Mrs/Miss(/Ms) is, agreed. But that's the goal, and the desired outcome, and there are definitely places where it has seen heavy adoption and normalization. Just not super widespread (yet).

But that said, what is super normalized is referring to others by their pronouns. "Becky? Oh she's..." etc. Providing pronouns in a place you don't need them avoids awkwardness, mislabeling, and normalizes it to where it's safe to ask for your preferred ones. I.e., "Hi, I'm Becky; my pronouns are she/her" makes it safe for those whose gender doesn't match what they present (or is ambiguous) to clarify how they wish to be identified, and is easy to roll with even for those who "aren't woke" or whathaveyou, whereas "Hi, I'm Becky; I'm a woman" would have no beneficial effect (it doesn't break the binary, since "non-binary" is still calling out the otherness from what is expected, and it also invites challenge by those against transness, i.e., exactly what we see GOP bills doing, demanding examination of a girl's privates and etc), and would likely cause you to be stared at like you're an alien for most situations.

Allow me to make the case for cryptocurrency as a payment system.

There are still systems like Monero, Firo, and others which are heavily used as payment networks on the DN due to their ability to obfuscate the source/destination/amount of transactions.

Even then, many micro-transactions have little need for anonymity/security and might happily make a tradeoff for lower anonymity and/or higher centralization in exchange for lower fees. There are systems like Nano and GNU Taler which try to address this.

There's a lot of BS surrounding "web3", but the dream is really this: Imagine you could have a spam-prevention system that requires a small fee for users to access a scarce and easily DoS-able service or resource - all without the vendor lock-in, tracking, insecurity, fraud, proprietary software or fees associated with middlemen like PayPal.

I might pay to read a news article for 0.2 cents if I didn't have to give them my credit card. I might pay youtube a cent for every video I watch without ads, in fact I might even pay a cent for a third-party service to strip youtube of ads even if they didn't offer that service. Such a hyper-competitive system would discourage easily-bypassed advertisements and tracking in favor of an online economy that makes it easy to securely spend or donate a minuscule amount of money.

I think the largest reason why we don't see bitcoin taking this role as a payment processor goes back to the 2017 XT dispute wherein bitcoin users decided not to increase the block size limit and the users who wanted to decrease payment fees forked off into "bitcoin cash", which happened to coincide with the 2017 bull market. In this sense, bitcoin is a bad example of a cryptocurrency because of its disproportionately high fees and it's use of extra measures like LN. An example of a more "normal" cryptocurrency would be something like litecoin or bitcoin cash.
