Steve Jobs was also known for his “reality distortion field”, so maybe it comes with the territory.

That said, FSD progress seems asymptotic and the Optimus thing always seemed like bullshit.
Some great points there, I’ve been hit by all of them. I particularly like the first which is to engage an expert to validate your design. There are so many kinds of deployments and configurations and knowing the best for your application isn’t at all obvious.

I’m not sure why a persons wealth should cause me to automatically rule out their morals, message or wisdom. Regardless of wether or not one agrees with the message.

The inverse of that would be saying “this person is penniless, it grates me to listen to their opinion on other poor people.”
Tableau is second to none for dataviz imo. Much more versatile than the competition. You can do interactive visualizations, set thresholds, color code/label data, etc. Of course it costs a lot, but if dataviz is something that is delivering real value the cost is more than worth it.
> What country has this? Definitely not [...] France

Many metro lines in Paris run at less than 3 minute intervals during peak times (when there aren't any "incidents"). Even the aging line 6 has around 3 minute intervals during rush hour.

I'm not very familiar with the Bay Area, so I don't know how these would compare to the line described by OP distance-wise. Longer distance trains in Paris (RER and other suburban lines) don't run at 3 minute intervals either.
Throwaway account for obvious reasons

I'm on Feeld and wow the headline for article is a weird take.

Compared to Tinder and Bumble there aren't many people (which isn't surprising) and it's very explicitly about non-vanilla sex, and I would never have thought that "emotionally mature" would characterize the people on it.

I'm in my 40s and I have trouble finding people my age. It's ok if you want to find a rope bunny or something like that though.

When I was in a relationship we tried it for threesomes and TBH had more luck with that on Tinder.

Also the "cores" concept is just strange. Why did they choose the cities they did? In Australia you can see who is in Melbourne but not Sydney (And Sydney is kind of an iconic gay city, which has a lot of cross over into kink).
Living by the sword could result in dying thereby.
Remember, the United States already built a full train infrastructure with excellent times almost a hundred years ago, and removed it because at the time cars were a good alternative. I've seen that many rapidly developing countries are seeing massive increases of car purchases by a new middle class. So I figure we just are about 50-75 years ahead.

To me 15m with a 1m variance is pretty usable. A typical trip on BART (it's intercity) is going to be 30-40 minutes, and in many parts of the system you have multiple train options, which also reduces the wait time.

To build some new train that works in SF, here's what you gotta do. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Subway Now that is about $1B-2B in building prices to go underground 1.7mi. Oh, that was built to replace a freeway that was torn down in 1989 after an earthquake. So we're just about to see the infrastructure replacement about 30 years later.

You can stop nearly any public transport project by using the state's EIR (IIRC the BART extension to the airport was slowed because of some endangered frogs).

Another issue is that many PT projects are pork-barrel. The route of the "high speed train from LA to SF" is a nice example of this; the train will not be high speed for the popular sources and destinations, because the central valley obtained concessions about the routing. It will probably never see ridership to justify its costs, and major contribution to that is that it can't bring people from downtown LA to downtown SF quickly. I dunno. does the shinkasen make a detour to rural agricultural areas? What about high speed trains in China? Do they go through second-tier cites?

My point is that while the US/SF is a first class city in a developed country, it lacks the political will to make great public transport, has trouble raising the funds to pay our very expensive building costs, and the alternatives are "just good enough" that the populace isn't super keen on large amounts of spending of PT without seeing some sort of benefit from it. Addressing all three of those and making change that makes the US a better place seems pretty implausible at this point.
As if companies don't do that on their own.

I'm actively interviewing for new positions, and the amount of stuff that startups (most out of Silicon Valley) are doing is absolute batshit. From 2-hour tech screens to 19-hour unpaid interviews WORKING ON THEIR OWN CODE BASE, I will not be surprised when the DoL does a crackdown on the interview process. I have been in the software development industry for decades. If you can't tell if a candidate qualifies after 45-90 (tops!) minutes of interviews, you may want to look internally for problems. All they are really doing is rejecting a ton of super smart developers, many who may have disabilities.

Oh, and then there was that one company who told me I had no knowledge of a language and framework I am actively contributing to, and have built robust, scalable enterprise apps out of. "We are looking for experts of <language x> and also <framework y> and <framework z>." That was literally the message they sent me. They did NOT know about my contributions because my dumb ass tries not to show off stuff like that when looking for employment as I want to be weighed on my ability to write awesome code and not weighed on a popularity contest.

> Mini LED on M1 MBPs is not OLED quality, but it's quite close in many cases.

No, it's not even close.

When I say OLED, I mean OLED, not qled or something that's "almost like" it.

To be clear: no OLED= I won't buy it.

> Additionally, in my experience (and from reading various reviews), M1 laptops are really quiet (fans are not loud even under load), have great battery life, and don't get nearly as hot as most (if not all) PC counterparts (under the same load conditions.)

Thanks, it might be nice if I cared about such things, but I absolutely don't - especially if the only non negotiable requirement (OLED) can't even be met.

FYI, if you want to know other things I care about once the bare minimum of an OLED screen is there: ECC RAM, removable NVMe drives, ideally 2 of them (or better: 3x)

Unfortunately, there're no such things on macs.

I'm sure "quiet, long battery life, cold to the touch" are important factors for those who purchase macs- but not for me.

It seems that those who have found the M1 macs suitable to their needs think that it must be ideal for everyone else - it's not!

Different people have different needs.
If you are not going to get into it then consider commenting when you are ready. I find it bullying behavior when you put down a person, establish yourself as expert but refuse to provide why is it that way. This is not to say OP was correct but he is likely lousy or just informal in all academic meanings of the word that you probably understand deeply that general public likely don’t care because they focus on practical meaning or the meaning as applicable to usual encounters ignoring outliers. For instance, one can make statement that “terrorist are evil” but you can write 10,000 words academic essay on why it is not that way citing hundred outliers and perspectives from other side. This doesn’t give you power to put down a person calling him non-expert and questioning everything else they said because in general public encounter that statement has meaning that is well understood without academic idiosyncrasies.
The case is not that such pieces appearing in uniform in short period of time.

The case is that western media is so fixitated on negative coverage on China, so much so that any positive or neutral coverage will be seen as carefully manipulated campaign.

Every thread of China topic, here on HN, will see your type of comments consistently.

The real mystery is not that there is positive or neutral report on China.

The real mystery is why US people seem cannot use their brain on China topics...

Suppose someone thinks that if they hold a job there and perform their duties less effectively than their replacement would, they are reducing the company's effectiveness at accomplishing their harmful goal. If I can come up with that on the spot without even having any cognitive dissonance to self-justify, I imagine that at least some employees can come up with something at good or better.
This analogy is plain wrong. The blog post lists multiple non-Vue frameworks/tools using Vite as their default build tool. Compare that to the number of non-JS languages (excluding ones that compile to JS) using NPM as their default package manager (0).

Ah yes. Journalists who definitely aren't going to be subjects of the illegal domestic surveillance which is exists precisely for the purpose of doing things like stopping journalists from doing their jobs.
Yes. You bring up a great point: With some infrastructure improvements we could have "virtual" trains. Vehicles would talk to each other on the highway and organize into closely-spaced convoys. Only the lead vehicle would need an active human driver; the rest could follow at extremely close distances--drafting off each other--and would not need a human driver (or their human drivers could go off-duty). The point of using asphalt rather than rails is that it makes it easy to switch between individual car mode and automated virtual train mode.

This idea is not new and it mostly applies to freight convoys but I think it also has merit for ad hoc passenger car convoys on long highway trips.
> perhaps a restricted selection of reviewed code could be available from a trusted service

again though, you've literally just described the Apple app store.

who do you imagine will do this review, they're probably going to want to be paid, right? Maybe we could impose an industry-standard 30% cut of the revenue and give that to the company who does the app review and hosts the authenticated code for download.

what do you imagine will happen if third-party apps are allowed to evade app review? Facebook was literally already caught using its dev credentials to get people to install a spyware version of the service... and if they had ever been allowed to do so officially, they would have instantly blocked the web version and forced you to download the spyware version. So we can't allow people to install third-party app stores to bypass review or else everyone bypasses app review and the app review process is trivially circumvented.

oh, wait, those are the two things people hate about the app store, so your service sucks too. why are you suggesting this "locked-in walled garden" garbage!?!? /s

walled-garden walls aren't for keeping you in, they're for keeping danger out. Everyone has always been able to leave the walled garden whenever they wanted - you can leave at any time you feel the balance of apple services vs google services has shifted. And the price of bypassing app review has always been $99 for a developer credential that lets you build and run your own apps.
Monocular vision only seems pretty clearly not capable of solving the problem. Stereo/multi view systems have a shot (humans are proof), but Tesla bet against that long ago. I wonder what could’ve been in a proper multi view setup.
It's a bit distressing reading this and thinking of all the sleep debt I've had, especially in my late teens and early 20's when I had school and started a career. Especially my teenage years when I was still developing. I never thought it could be serious or permanent. Alas, all I can do is try to prioritize my sleep now. At least I have made significant improvements recently :)
Fair point. There are other potential prosecutorial benefits.

There's still the court-of-public-opinion element. Such a charge might give allies / witnesses for the defence pause to come forward.

Facing multiple independent counts also increases pressure, costs, and distracts attention for the defendant against any one case. Given the defendant here is representing himself, that may be a major hurdle. (Last sentence here is a stealth edit FYI.)

Whether the CP charges are justified or strategic I really can't say. The practice of digging up additional dirt on defendants in specific instances is a venerable tradition however.

Same thing happened to me on an @outlook.com account that has only been used to send mail to three recipients since it was created.

MS owned offending IP: 13.101.55.39

Did a whois, and saw it was MS owned. Was worried it might just be MS being broken and alerting on their own stuff, so didn't flag it, and got another attempt from the same IP a couple hours later. Flagged it then.

Could be an attacker using Azure to host attacks, but since my @outlook.com email address is not really guessable nor in circulation (long, not dictionary words/names, and only used a few times) MS just being broken might be more likely?

Another option is Cloudflare + MS's new relationship to provide Warp VPN as a built-in for Edge results in Warp sometimes terminating directly within MS address space?

I think his point is that FSD is an inevitability and when it comes it will generally upend the way we think about cars. Manual driving may always be a thing but it would become more of a passion than a way to get to work in the morning. The vast majority of value would come from autonomous transportation and logistics.

Teams' primary market is big, legacy companies who are already typically forcing shitty (often Microsoft-based) tooling on their employees who don't have any say in it and are forced to use it (and may not have the confidence to resign because of that). Think companies where the primary browser used to be Internet Explorer 11 until somewhat recently.

Before Teams you would've typically seen Skype For Business there, so I guess compared to that it might be an upgrade. Employees there may never have used anything better so they don't realize how bad it is, and because the other tooling they are forced to use is just as bad, Teams doesn't particularly feel like an outlier.

That is Teams' target market and it excels at capturing it.

Analog multiplexers work fine for dorect conversion receivers, so you could just take the audio from the mixer output.
Sadly that gives you audio from both sidebands.

If you mix in some passives or actives a Phasing receiver could be built to do away with the unwanted sideband.
Or maybe one could use the Weaver method for ssb demodulation. But Weaver has it's problems with the switching frequency breaking thru. But that's less of a problem on receive.
The deDRM seems interesting. Is that standard? I will look into it. I have many books locked away on kindle.
You're mostly right about long distance commuting/travel... but FSD in cities is needed for trucking/delivery/taxis to be fully automated. If you need to pay for a driver to drive then a lot of value is going to be left on the table still.
Sure, I skipped over that since the question was about China.

The reason he gave for Russia invading Ukraine is geographic. Over the course of its history Russia has been invaded fifty times, so they're touchy about that even if things look peaceful at the moment. Right now Russia has no real geographic boundaries, so it takes immense manpower to actually defend the borders, assuming you don't want to go nuclear. With the old Soviet borders, they had mountains and only nine passes to defend, which could be done relatively easily. Now they control one of those passes. Ukraine gives them two more plus a good base of operations to take the rest.

This fits his overall approach to geography: you want crunchy borders, good ports, and a productive interior with nice easy transportation inside. The US has all that in spades, a few other countries do to a lesser extent, most have various impediments, and all this drives a lot of everybody's history. His 2014 book applies this basic idea to many of the great civilizations in history, starting with ancient Egypt.
What is the explanation for the steady rate of storage growth combined with apparently high churn [0] of peers on the Filecoin network?

Is this due to a small number of peers purchasing additional storage? When a new peer joins the network, are you able to estimate the expected number of bytes that peer will contribute to the network over its lifetime? Basically, can you calculate the “LTV” of an IPFS/Filecoin peer? (Let’s say “V” is “net storage,” i.e. the difference between storage contributed and storage consumed.)
