I always figured that the bigs supercolliders were just a big job creation program -- the money isn't spent in a vacuum (no pun intended, well ok, a little), but the money is going toward paying people and vendors to do $100B of work, with a little raw materials thrown in. So even if you're not getting $100B of science out of it, it's not a total waste.
They always win campaigns by promising a lot of things and then rarely deliver. He is no exception, overall the 'reforms' have been minimal and the 'old recipes' (I.e. hand government subsidies as soon as people complain) have not changed.

Ideology, well just with my comments here many would label me 'liberal', which in France is borderline derogatory for some people with the meaning of 'free market capitalist bent on exploiting the working-class', simply for stating that there may be no need for millions of civil servants, myriads of taxes, and red tape for everything... the far left dominates the left at the moment, after all.

Self-awareness because many people in France do not even realise this or how simple things could be. For instance, the 'attestation' people needed to fill in to leave their homes during Covid lockdowns. From abroad it looked like pointless red tape madness, while in France someone obviously seriously thought that was a good idea and they were very serious about it.

Trolling? I was making a genuine observation. I wasn’t aware that Cuban was a supporter of many of Trump’s initiatives like this, but perhaps he was.

I was just pointing out what I thought was an objective observation that a business person opposed politician working towards {thing x} and then suddenly emerged with a business doing {thing x} once the potential public sector competition was out of the way.

But of course this assumes a degree of pessimistic motivation from Cuban. Given how often these kinds of motivations are assumed of people who challenge a public sector solution, I didn’t think to justify that assumption much, but I can see now how not doing so might have come across as trollish.
Who are you targeting at the moment then?

False dichotomy. There’s a whole universe of policy options.

But to answer your question as posed, conservative policies will probably get us out of the mess we’re in, and then we can have the luxury to consider what smarter long-term progressive policies could be enacted.

Example: there is now an organized crime theft ring coordinating smash-and-grab thefts from storefronts in San Francisco because the DA’s so-called progressive policy of excessive leniency for misdemeanor theft. To the point where stores like CVS are abandoning the city. A “conservative” policy of harsh law enforcement is probably needed to reverse this trend. (That’s not the same as saying we should have harsh punishment for misdemeanors as a general rule forever though.)
That's insane. It also has SSML and voice types (angry sad etc). This is hands down the winner for me.

I'm still searching for the golden goose "conversation" that's actually faster on Slack. Sure, a quick back and forth or check in is actually faster.

I have yet to find a meaningful discussion that's actually faster on Slack. It seems like they always drag out as sparsely filled, 45 minute threads. Nearly everyone of these would have been better served by a 10 minute call.

> There are no chargers with micro-USB output port

https://www.amazon.com/CanaKit-Raspberry-Supply-Adapter-List...
The only way I see there being a need to evolve from USB-C is if we see some major developments in optical (cost/size)

The EU seems perfectly willing to adopt new standards if you look at what has been happening in mobile standards (e.g. despite 3G being standardized we got 4G, despite 4G being standardized we got 5G)
Understanding Kotlin Coroutine
> that any combination of charger + cable + device has an unreasonably non-zero chance of not working

These issues have evaporated for me in the past couple of years. The only devices that I have in use that are still finicky are Nintendo Switch, and it's my understanding that newer models have fixed these problems, too.

My only complaints are that I wish my MBP would draw 10W from non-PD USB, instead of 5W (not really a USB-C problem), and my kids' laptops that have USB-C ports but don't support USB-PD and only charge from coaxial power adapters.
I like my commute. i think of solutions to problems in that downtime behind the wheel. Plus then i don't view my office at home as "work" and i get to enjoy my time in there too (gaming, 3d printing etc)

One of my coworkers swears he's more productive at home - but when he is doing so he's not helping with the day to day walk up issues, or phone calls (which is also part of his job)
Yes, this is seriously blurring the line between image recognition and a bandpass filter. There doesn't seem to be anything in the way of actual computation going on until the step where the results are read.
I do primarily use it as a laptop... but ~30% of the time it comes off the case and gets carried for data input. Then it's the best tablet I can spend money on, has a very responsive stylus and weighs about the same as a clipboard and pad.

It's the most flexible computer I own. It could be even more so, which I would appreciate, but that depends largely on apple.

For the work I do I can code *locally* but I *don't have to*. Comparing it to a Switch is completely missing what makes them different. Even an attempted reductio ad absurdum should be a little more rigorous than that.
Yeah the pandemic does throw a wrench in the assessment. But letting the police so successfully push all the blame onto the da is only going to embolden them and reward bad behavior. If the option was to recall the top police leaders plus the da, then I’d vote yes. Punishing only one side will make the situation worse.
A minor rant about std::ptr::NonNull: this wraps a *mut T, and there is no equivalent for *const T. So if you want to use the optimization for a pointer-to-const, you must cast away constness, and just be careful to never mutate the pointee. In practice that's exactly what the standard library does.
"Besides that, what's wrong with..."

Nothing 'wrong' with it, per se. But the whole concept reads like a bad Saturday Night Live skit.
CI build processes often require credentials, sometimes ones that are in some sort of twilight-zone¹ to devs. IIRC, Github doesn't provide a straight-forward way to clone those credentials.

¹e.g., the devs "don't" have access to the credentials, except they're in the CI workflow, so technically they do. But I've worked at a number of companies where security will happily bury their head in the sand on that point.

And, in particular, the monopoly Taiwan has over precision chip making is deeply important to their national stability.
Personally, I would move to San Diego over Sacramento or a small village in Germany. San Diego has wonderful weather, plenty of outdoor activities, it is very safe, and generally one of the best cities to raise a family in the United States. Family is nice, but if your father can watch the kids one night a month, that would be plenty. If you get bored living in a small village, you may end up resenting your wife's parents. I wouldn't focus too much on career growth. If you already traveled and lived in Amsterdam and still made it work, you're probably going to succeed in either place.
It’s also very good at securing international ossification, creating a stultifying society of sameness, with the same few billionaires, multinationals, and technocrats running the show, pushing societal and international stability in service of profits.

I don’t think the result is a net positive. It looks more like keeping a lid on justified dissatisfaction while preventing any upset of the status quo.
Yeah that’s why I qualified the statement with “sold to”
Yeah, great questions actually. Not sure I have a fully formed model I'm putting forth so just going to speak in generalities.

> How do you see your proposed approach affecting healthcare quality?

In the business end of healthcare, quality is just a base assumption. You (Okay most) would never make a business decision that erodes quality and clinicians are trying to improve quality all the time. The companies I've worked for have entire departments named simply "Quality" with significant budgets/headcount. That said, from an economic standpoint, it just needs to be a part of that formula. The current real thing that comes to mind is CMS (Medicare) issues quality scores to hospitals (star ratings) and their reimbursements go down if their quality score dips. It also helps folks "shop" providers as the star rating is public information.

> does public-owned R&D lower incentives to generate new treatments?

I don't think it has to. Scientist want to do science. If funded, I believe they will. I'm more concerned with what science we're ignoring because it has no obvious GTM strategy, link to some ROI, &/ random business objective.

> Or, conversely, does it raise incentives for higher quality drugs for underserved (and unprofitable) diseases?

I think it does, or can. Because I think it opens the field for more exploration. I've never been very close to how pharma R&D is performed, but my understanding is it's rather narrow. For example, "we want to solve X because we can make $Y". Once we solve X, we can do X.a, X.b, X.c, etc. It doesn't matter that they could make the world a better place by solving Z and perhaps that's what the scientist would rather be doing.

I'd certainly entertain counter-arguements, this is just Sim City brain at work on hypothetical realities.
I'm reminded of Firesheep - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firesheep - which came out in 2010. It wrapped session hijacking on WiFi in an easily usable interface. The technique and the vulnerability wasn't anything new, but the extension raised awareness in a big way and really sparked a big push for getting SSL deployed, enabled, and defaulted everywhere.
There's no such thing as maximum velocity. If constant 1g acceleration is available, there's not really a fuel concern. It will certainly use a little more fuel, but even just going to Mars would take a week, so half an hour's extra fuel usage works out to 0.3% extra fuel. For interstellar journeys, you're talking less than 0.001%.

Also, the course correction can easily be part of the manoeuvre, if you're willing to rotate around more than one axis.
Apple can keep selling laptops with MagSafe because they are also capable of charging via the USB-C ports. Same with phones, they can add whatever wireless charging technology they want, it's the wired charging port that is required to be USB-C.
Lol, Germany was never anywhere close to being a leader in chip manufacturing (and why should it in a global market). Arguably, even East Germany had a better chip industry than West Germany in the 70s and 80s, but that was still 5..10 years behind the state of the art.
That analogy does not hold up. A fuel dispenser is a metering device. The scale at your grocery store that measures the weight of the cake is, likewise, an NTEP scale: https://www.nist.gov/programs-projects/national-type-evaluat...

These are very fundamental consumer protection regulations that have been solidly cemented in western civilization for many centuries now.

>not extend to regulation of [...] what measures are permitted.

That was exactly the point of that clause. The colonies all had their own system of measurement and it was a mess trying to do business. Now, congress did very little about it, but the founders intentionally reserved the right for them to fix that problem.
"Rather than building yet another city-sized internal combustion engine, but even bigger to carry more further, how about we fund a lot of blue-sky research to determine if there's a way to carry scientists forward without city-sized internal combustion engines?"

It appears we suspect there is a better way.
As a customer of Chase and CapitalOne, I hate having to use any of Chase's apps.
That's not my experience. I'd check cables and ports and see if there's something you can adjust. My watch charges pretty quickly.
And that’s the sort of thing I’d expect from a programmer! The operational complexity of anything operating at scale extends far beyond the immediate cost. For example, play your scenario out: they give you a raise, you start managing something, and then you decide to leave? Then what? Or, you turn out to be incompetent and make a mistake that takes 24 hours to fix: that’s thousands of people unable to work! That’s going to cost the business a lot more than 80k.

Ownership is a burden, ownership at scale is a nightmare. Paying a third-party to own something for you is fantastic value in the default case, until you have a strong business case for taking on that ownership burden. “One of our nerds says he’ll own it for 50% of the cost” is a terrible option, it’s nightmare waiting to happen.

If I had 10k people, and I could pay $50k to offload ownership of some critical infrastructure to a third party, I wouldn’t even blink. That’s great value.
> There are no chargers with micro-USB output port (USB never specified such thing

I have several chargers with a brick and a permanently attached micro-USB cable that came with devices. One from Samsung; a couple from Grandcentral; a few for Raspberry Pis.
>"Stopping/preventing crime is handled by police and other organizations."

How do you expect police to stop and prevent crime? As someone who has been a victim of violent crime, I don't know what the police could have done to prevent it, short of being everywhere all the time.

>"So if the problem is "there is too much crime in SF", changing the DA themselves isn't going to do much in the short term (perhaps in the long term though, with more people locked up)."

I was under the impression that District Attorneys are meant to act as part of a 'feedback system', by disincentivizing crime, protecting the public by imprisoning dangerous people, and providing the opportunity for corrections. I am not sure which, if any role DAs actually accomplish.
My exact initial thought.
Except the latest is working 120% the day you’re working - so, not a true 4 days/week.

Or you can have a true 4 days/week. With the pay cut. As for half time and so on… taxes though start to rise, because why not.

I hate so very much my government for this kind of shit.
I wouldn't be surprised if Germany would also find value in an ASML facility, but as I understand it, ASML doesn't make fabs. They make the tools technology used in fabs. They're different parts of the supply chains.

Even if they were both in the same business, it's not like ordering whichever brand you want from Amazon. If ASML wants to build something in Germany, they will, and Germany can incentivize that, but it's still up to them. Germany can't just tell them to do it anyway.

But then that kind of invalidates the "offline" claim, I don't think they'd make it if they needed the app? Then again, maybe you need the app but it doesn't need network access.
> Why would anyone pay $80k/month to solve a problem that could be solved with 0.5 FTE?

Depends on the structure of your org. Is the 0.5 FTE being able to maintain addons for all the browsers, dealing with on and off boarding, multiple apps for multiple platforms, write end-user documentation at the same level as 1Password does?
The downside to commiting a crime (risk v reward) impacts the decision to do it. This is where the DA and their policies can impact crime.

So when you remove much of the punishment, it would be reasonable to expect crime to increase.
I agree, and this is not an argument I would normally make.

But I think it’s the quality of response the parent deserved, given their ridiculously hyperbolic framing of “a foreign occupying force”.
Some countries even use more than one keyboard layout, so I try to stick to special chacters that dont change from keyboard layouts. Like dot comma and space.

They make a difference to the kids getting tried as adults and the victims of cash bail.

If your model is that crime is a cycle and you need to rehabilitate more than punish, then this is the playbook to follow.
>I agree, it reads like a variation of 'there's nothing left to discover so lets all go home and not bother'

I don't think that's quite right. The big problem isn't that there is 'nothing left to discover' because we know there are interesting physics at higher energy scales. What we don't actually know if there is anything interesting at the energy scales that this particle accelerator could achieve. You could literally spend two decades building this, and in the end, all you would do is rule out a tiny energy-scale slice.

And by "less platinum" they mean 0.01% as much platinum to achieve the same level of catalyzation.
Basically what I'm assuming is that Apple will adopt USB-C on the iPhone Pro models (since they need faster file transfer for the huge 4K ProRes video files anyway, and they were happy to adopt USB-C on the iPad "Pro" models early) and drop the ports completely on the non-Pro models.
Designs these days try to hide the distinction between volatile memory ("RAM") and mass storage ("disk"), so buffers can only be more and more an alien concept for common users, if not a design defect.

However, I think it doesn't really matters, because people who choose to use Emacs (or Vim) - even among developers - are much more likely to be aware of those "low level" details or understand and adapt easily. So how they are named doesn't matters more than the odd "frame" term Emacs uses instead of "Windows".
> MagSafe/Qi. Which they control, and they still can get fees from

Americans feel your pain, given the subsidies German automakers have received to build plants in our country over the decades.

Mercedes got $260m in Alabama in the early 1990s, BMW got $150m in South Carolina in the early 1990s, Volkswagen got $570m in the late 2000s in Tennessee. That's close to $1.6 billion inflation adjusted from just three examples of it.

The US economy is six times the size of Germany's economy, so those are massive subsidies in relation.
The article's pretext is a false dilemma. You can "fix" lots of science issues with money as well as have more of these large scale scientific efforts. It's up to the European funding and the extension of it. There is enough money to go around in one of the richest economic zones in the world.

There are always tradeoffs, and I find the notch to be a trade-off with no real loss. Especially on a Mac where the hardware/software integration is tight enough that the notch never poses an issue. I could see a notch on a windows/linux laptop being a more significant problem given that the OS may not be designed to work around the notch so seamlessly
Yes, because tying deflation and inflation to the rate of 'how quickly do we mine gold' is a brilliant way to run an economy.

Don't open enough gold mines? Here comes the deflationary spiral of death to strangle the economy. Too many gold mines? Inflation, inflation, inflation.

Can we do anything to dampen either one? Nope.

> 2. Use it as a geopolitical weapon.

Sure as hell beats getting involved in an actual shooting war.
> we've collectively decided

I think I agree with everything you wrote except what I'm unfairly reading into this phrase: we don't need to and should not irrevocably "decide" once and for all. We might have been quite wrong to ban some poisons even in the situations that applied at the time when we banned them. If we were right to do so, times may have changed and we don't any longer. Even nuclear weapons perhaps, in certain situations.

Similar to a previous comment of mine in this thread, of course I don't know from your passing use of that word what you think about this! But I do think that that worldview, that these things are or should be "decided" in a permanent sort of way, is commonplace.
