FTA: “William and his travelling companions set off on horseback on 16 September 1253 on a 9,000-kilometre (5,600 mi) journey to the court of the Great Khan at Karakorum. Arriving in late December…”

That’s 9,000 km in about 100 days. Am I right in thinking that’s a quite an accomplishment? The Pony Express did about 300 km/day, but switched horses every 15-25 km.
"Mozilla:

The DID Core spec has not demonstrated any degree of practical interoperability, instead delegating that to a registry of 50+ methods.

The DID architectural approach appears to encourage divergence rather than convergence & interoperability. The presence of 50+ entries in the registry, without any actual interoperability, seems to imply that there are greater incentives to introduce a new method, than to attempt to interoperate with any one of a number of growing existing methods.

The lack of restrictions on the registry are allowing methods diametrically opposed to the principles of the group & spec, and methods which are actively globally harmful to sustainability.

[W]e believe the DID specification may not be fixable (MUST NOT become a Recommendation)."

The thing I hate about this fake corporate mission is there is absolutely no need for the lie.

Just be honest, hey we started this company, the founders will have disproportionate returns because we were first and control the equity power structure, you will work for us and make less money - even in the event of an exit. Sometimes we will fire you. We will make mistakes. Lets be adults.

Instead its: "In our supreme nobility we sacrifice everything at the alter of the almighty cause, and so should you. Follow in our virtuous foot steps. Ask not what your company can do for you, but what you can do for your company!" ...
Which religious groups? As a Muslim, it's prohibited because God said so, there's really nothing more to be said. The Creator knows what is good and what is bad for us, and we are to Submit to His orders.

In many times, the Wisdom behind such orders is made apparent to us. As we see here (and historically, as per the accounts in the Quran about Prophet Lot Peace be upon him), these groups will not stop at just what's in the bedroom. Today we see indoctrination and outright hostility toward anyone who disagrees with them, causing societal instability.

I get the impression that people no longer understand what it is to boycott something.

The whole point is to punish the boycottee which may cause inconvenience. Much easier to dogpile on twitter I suppose.

I can’t really think of a universally sustained boycott since South African apartheid to be honest. Even the current Russian stuff is too inconvenient for the majority of the world so they keep buying their oil and gas.
Great, I amended my original comment.
The article is more about finding a market fit for entrepreneurs than really about selling. To me, it reads more like why developers can’t do marketing well than why developers can’t sell but that wouldn’t be as good of a title that’s true.

I kind of feel personally offended by the title because I stated my career as a software engineer, moved to management consulting and now mostly do business development but then again I hated being a developer so maybe he has a point.
In addition to all that you said about key management -- if you do manage to leak your keys and you chose a bad passphrase good luck proving to anyone that any correctly signed transactions were fraudulent/performed by someone else.
I am having difficulty how public companies can go from wanting to hire anything with a pulse to regretting they have staff. Is this a demonstration that management was clueless last month when massively hiring? Clueless now by massively downsizing? Or just unable to really understand their markets, products and needs?

Private companies, yeah, they operate under different guidelines. But Meta (for example) was considered to be loaded.
Gee, thanks. I just thought I'd remind the younger crowd who possibly weren't aware of something relevant that happened in 2001.

Breaking rules in front of others and the examples you give are not comparable to a show of animal dominance.

The ftplugin for the make filetype includes setlocal noexpandtab, which should take precedence over what's in your vimrc.

But the "stolen without attribution" claim paints it negatively for little reason.

There are lots of ways to unproductively engage with politics - and I agree that we live in an age of highly visible unproductive engagement. However, banning engagement makes it official company policy that every interaction with politics be uninformed. "It was hard so we gave up" is just not a good sign for your leadership.

You'd have to not be paying attention over the years not to realize the SEC monitors big changes in stock prices and who benefits from them. Even if you tell your neighbor or brother-in-law and they benefit, you're not in the clear.

The funny thing for me is: this guy had to know that.

I don't know how Apple does this, but at Google I chatted (not really an "interview" yet) with a guy who interrogates and catches people like this. Interrogating someone who's probably lying is a skill that law enforcement people have, and most of us don't.

He had a background with the FBI, and I had no particular skills he wanted. But catching people exactly like this was part of his job. I don't know about this guy. He doesn't seem to have a LinkedIn profile.

> We can judge the title, the thesis

That is essentially what I said above. There are plenty of ways to pick this apart, and I have plenty of questions/issues with the content. I'm just saying we don't have to use ad hominem attacks to do so.

> and how it focuses attention away from the problems

An article titled "24 charts that show we’re (mostly) living better than our parents" is probably going to skew towards the things that are going well - that's kind of the point.

That doesn't automatically imply everything is awesome, and you might take issue with such an examination and argue it does not give enough airtime to other systemic issues, and indeed this is where I'd focus. But that is a different kind of conversation than one that disagrees with the conclusions about each of those 24 things.

Speaking of which, what are those primary problems from your perspective?
As an alternative to github... one of these is not like the others.

In any case... why github? What is so unique about it that you can't even consider other possibilities? I guess soon people will be non-ironically saying "no one ever got fired for hosting their code at Github" and turn a blind eye to perfectly usable, open alternatives who does not lock us in.

For what? Fear of taking responsibility for maintaining the basic tools for their job? If that is the case, you can always pay for other smaller, independent companies who can host at competitive rates.

Anyway, you do you. I'm tired of playing Cassandra, and I'm tired of seeing people giving in to convenience and general conformity.
I tried using the MX Master 3 mouse on Bluetooth when I got it with my MBP and it was disaster - so I just use the lot little dongle thing. Works fine, but annoying to use up a port.
Some did actually in the height of the vax pass craze of 2021-22. The online store would get use it by way of the linked digital wallet.
Also annoying that the unifying receiver doesn't work with a Thunderbolt dock. I tried using it for a while and got a lot of lag and stuttering. It was really bad. So now I have a Thunderbolt dock that everything else uses, and a single USB-C to USB-A adapter hanging off the laptop just for the precious unifying receiver. I'd be less annoyed if it was USB-C plugged in directly, but still not happy.

Previously I used a wired mouse, plugged into the dock, which worked great. However, I needed a new mouse as that one started to fail and the only options available through my company were wireless.
Is this a flaw/weakness in the Bluetooth spec, or is one of these products misbehaving in a way that means it should have its Bluetooth qualification revoked?
??? According to Levels, ICT5 at Apple is ~$440k TC averaged over more than 150 datapoints. That's not even management...

I think it's safe to say that $600k couldn't have been more than 20-25% of his TC over 5 years, IF that. Absolutely braindead to take that huge a risk for that little reward (not to mention a deeply shitty thing to do given his position, obv). That's not even close to 1x, never mind an order of magnitude!
Anecdata here also, but I've got a logitech mice and formerly had a logitech headset that had no issues connecting to a mac with bluetooth.
What is wrong with having a small mediocre business:

1. Companies provide useful products to customers.

2. Growth means that you built products that more customers paid more money for, because it was useful.

3. Thus, growth means your company contributed more to human prosperity.
To me, that's a very political mission.

> Though its trademark covers only a specific variation of the color (Pantone Rhodamine Red U), the company has expanded its definition of magenta to encompass a variety of surrounding hues. Since Deutsche Telekom has its hands in so many projects, it has also been able to defend its trademark in industries outside of telecommunications, ranging from fashion to healthcare.

So, the answer is yes, it can. I understaff that they can trademark a logo.

But if the same people that law assumes can read and understand contracts small print can't differentiate two products with different logos but the same colour there is a problem with the legal system. Is people smart or stupid? Or it just depends on what the next big corporation wants?
That EV F150 looks badass, I hope it lives up to the hype!

I just don't want to invest in something that should last me at LEAST one decade when the company behind it hasn't been around nearly as long as these legacy behemoths. Let alone the antics of Musk, to beat that dead horse some more.

There will be a Ford to run to in eight, twelve, thirty years that is well equipped to solve problems with your vehicle. Will there be a Tesla? Even if the service is hard to get, it's there.

Idk time to get downvoted by Tesla diehards lol. This isn't a hill I will die on, just how I feel about it all right now.
Extremely limited anecdotal evidence:

I recently talked to half a dozen contractors and they were much more excited about Rivian than Ford F-150 Lightning, citing a bad track record from Ford's new automotive hardware. They'd be open to F-150 after a few design iterations work out the kinks.

What they wouldn't consider was CyberTruck.

Electric pickup trucks will be a huge market, and Tesla doesn't seem to have a product for contractors and builders.

This is more of a physics problem than an engineering problem.

Garmin InReach uses an omnidirectional antenna on the Iridium network. With an omni antenna your S/N ratio is simply too low to send bits fast. If you made the device powerful enough to roast birds in flight it might work for faster uplink but then it would be dangerous to you too and the FCC would never let you use it anyway. And even this wouldn't improve your downlink speed.

The only way to improve the speed in both directions is to use a directional antenna, which points most of the uplink energy toward the satellite and concentrates the satellite's incoming energy to get the S/N ratio high in both directions. That's exactly what Starlink does.

This is made even more difficult because we're talking about LEO satellites and LEO satellites move. So the antenna has to track the satellite. Again this is what Starlink is doing.

(You can also use GEO satellites which don't move, but then latency becomes terrible. That's how the older satellite internet systems work.)

It's certainly possible to build a portable, directional, tracking LEO satellite antenna. That's exactly what the Starlink RV solution is. But it's never going to be as small as your Garmin unit.
Yes definitely, it's great that progress has been made on this front. There has to be a middle ground between "web sites rotting after 5 years" and "POSIX forever", etc. The former is the status quo, and the latter doesn't produce very much.

IIRC from a book I read on the blues, banjos had some early traction in and were introduced by blues music because they were indeed derived from West African instruments (built around gourds, complete with one shorter string like a banjo has) but the updated, new-world construction of the modern banjo (twangy, poor sustain) was better-suited to accompanying higher-pitched white voices, so ended up falling out of favor in the blues about the same time it was becoming standard in genres like bluegrass.

Logical fallacy, just because humans naturally gravitate towards something does not make it right. Humans gravitate toward feeling good (drugs), and we see how that turns out for example.
Minor nitpick about terminology: it's "fork" and "hard fork".
Note that using the existing data connection (PCI-e is point to point, not a bus anymore) helps solve some race conditions. DMA writes from a device to memory may be buffered by bridges, but interrupt pins are likely not; so if the device wrote to memory and signals that to the host via an interrupt pin, the interrupt may arrive before the write. A message signaled interrupt uses the same mechanism as the DMA write, if the DMA write is buffered, the interrupt write will wait behind it.

Other satellite providers didn't tell the federal government they can handle 100mbps in exchange for a huge pot of government money...

This is the issue in a nutshell: Starlink agreed to meet a specific threshold in exchange for government funds, and these tests suggest that Starlink will have difficulty accomplishing this if they can't manage to do it when their network isn't saturated.
Most country music is pop music. Also I'm skeptical of the list you linked because 80's and 90's isn't a genre.
> My point is simply that anyone expecting Starlink will treat you better than AT&T does

The situations are totally different. AT&T made money from LOCAL infrastructure that they had a natural and enforced monopoly on.

Starlink infrastructure is inherently global, their main goal is with minimal effort and cost to connect as my people as possible to distribute the global fixed cost. SpaceX has little intensive to involve itself as deeply in local politics. On a global scale some politics will go in their direction, others away, spending lots of money in each government is not really a very practical strategy.

The US government can force companies to do things sure, and if you have extreme security consideration that goes beyond having a VPN go threw Starlink then Starlink is not for you.

Starlink will not have a monopoly on anything, they have an essentially global outlook and they are trying to offer a uniform standard service from Stockholm to Santiago. So I do actually think its a fair assumption that costumer experience has a chance to be better.

It's not just Logitech's use of bluetooth.

My Airpods also caused me lose wifi connectivity on my Macbook when using 2.4Ghz wifi (802.11n to an old Buffalo WZR-HP-AG300H/WZR-600DHP running OpenWRT [1]). The issue only happened when using the airpods, and only when using the 2.4Ghz network. Switching to 5ghz solved the issue, and I've since switched to wired.

I was kind of stunned that Apple's own wifi was incompatible with Apple's own bluetooth.

[1] while I'm at it, anyone have a recommendation for a modern access point that can run OpenWRT with Wifi 5 (ac) or Wifi 6 (ax)?
More anecdata, but I think this is a more general Apple problem rather than Logitech, I always had very poor performance with non-Apple BT devices with Macs - devices that work fine with a range of other computers.
I'm inclined to agree, especially as there are free alternatives for all major web browsers (although I can see that isn't the full feature set, I imagine its 90% of the use case for most people). $25 feels like the max I'd consider for this type of thing.

American country music buff here. Until recently Ghanaian music was mostly about the lyrics—it was impossible to make music that didn’t have great lyrics about love, life, work, religion, you name it. Music was a great instructor in traditional values. For lovers of the old music American country music fits right in since it’s probably the only(?) music export from the US that doesn't glorify crime, debauchery, all the non-traditional African values. I've lost count of the number of times music lyrics have suggested themselves in critical times for me: when apologizing, showing appreciation, expressing love, offering consolation, offering encouragement, you name it.
