> Not too much, like $4k extra a month i think, noticeable but not the end of the world.

It's nice that it's manageable and also a learning experience, but over here that would be like 2 months' take home salary for a software engineer.

Kind of why development/test environments shouldn't have autoexpanding or scalable anything, in my experience.
Makes sense, but won't MS killing basic auth EOL your offering? Apologies if I'm misunderstanding.
Unfortunately that "Popular Mechanics" reference appears to be false: the December 1941 issue [1] did feature an article "Pitch Hitters for Defense" which included Ford's car experiments, but the entire focus was on supplanting the use of metals to free capacity for the military use. Carbon dioxide, greenhouse effect, or any environmental discussion is quite absent.

(The advertising in the issue is interesting since even just before Pearl Harbor there's a lot of military references. My (very limited) understanding was that isolationism was strong but apparently far from pacifism)

I'm sure they do but I only have anecdotal evidence from people that tried a number before the "ahaaa" moment.

I don't take them (well, except for sleep with a low dosage of Trazadone (which I can't anymore because it gives me priapism) and mirtazapine(which made me sleepy even the next day)), but my experience is with stimulants for ADHD.
I've tried quite a few stimulants and while all worked for my ADHD (heck even pure nicotine works somewhat), some combinations were brilliant but illegal, and metylphenidate (Concerta) does an amazing job for my impulsivity and an ok-ish job for my focus.

Sure, I can't just snap my fingers, pop some low dosage meth (and I need to stress low dosage -- 15-20mg) or my favorite (3-1 isopropylphenidate + metylphenidate) and enter a flow state at will, but Concerta just changed my life for the better.

I'm sure that a lot(most) of people with depression just as with ADHD need more than just the medication.

If you're depressed because of your circumstances and have 0 power to change them, perhaps anti-depressants work less well, but I've read about numerous people who had a purely "chemical" depression -- there was nothing "bad" about their life and they changed nothing and after anti-depressants they were just not depressed anymore.

Ha, yes, you get to keep the phone, they even have to unlock it (remove the SIM lock), but you also still pay the monthly installments because it is a subscription. They just change the name of the line item to some other service.

It's supposed to incentivize people to move to a new fixed term contract. But people often simply just keep paying.

I only learned about that recently since I always buy my phone separately.
Oh, I remember, that was a mess. IIRC there were only certain kernels available and you couldn't build modules (or at least not easily).

I think I had problems to enable modules for filesystems or Docker or something like that.
None of these technologies fundamentally improve anyone's life, and they are all incremental.

Reusable rocket boosters are nice, but they're not making anyone's life better (they barely even reduce the costs of space flight).

Battery tech is important, but again, it is a minor addition; the improvements so far don't even help with a renewable grid, as they are reliant on a very scarce resource - Lithium.

International money transfer has existed since the 1600s, technology has really only sped things up; if anything, the main advances were legal, not techical; not to mention, there are good arguments to be made that the ease of directly owning factories and dev centers in other countries has been an overall negative for local businesses, replacing global trade and competition with behemoths doing global financing.

And yes, everything in tech from the 2000s onwards is nice, but incremental and not any sort of leap for mankind, outisde of some medical technologies.

And much of this is obvious. In the first half of the twentieth century, we went from steam locomotives to rockets capable of reaching the moon. In the second half, we were able to make some parts of those rockets reusbale. How can you claim with a straight face that the latter is a bigger advancement than the former?
Not just tax law, but labor law. Even down to a smaller level, an employer can discover a tax/labor law that applies to one employee physically located in a city but not a second employee in the same state (but different city).

> Is any business a ponzi scheme?

The analogy you are stating doesn't sound right.

If the early stage investors' criteria were based on startups' revenue forecasts, then yes, the metaphor would apply.

However, that's not the case. They pour the money expecting for more money to be poured in later, by others. Granted, I'm oversimplifying here, but the simple existence of such criterium is "symptomatic".
> A taxi may be more expensive at "idle" times - but ever tried to grab an Uber at a big event like a concert, a soccer game or Saturday night out drinking? You'll pay triple or more. Regulated taxis are more expensive, but always consistent which is a value on its own. Also, you can be sure that the driver doesn't live in poverty [1] or works ridiculous hours.

The prior here is simply not having enough taxis available. Fixed cost and capacity versus incentives that increase capacity when needed.

Thanks for these insights. I think this is a great approach. The question is, how to best facilitate these short/demo reviews without creating too many context-switches and interruptions for everyone. We're actually working on a platform that tries to solve this (https://livecycle.io/) by generating instant, collaborative PR preview environments. So the kinds of reviews you describe can happen async and in context.
Do you think this approach would work to facilitate the reviews you outline here?
Having C or C++ somewhere in the lower levels of your stack doesn't make them the primary language for your domain. Other wise CPU microcode would be the primary language of every domain.
> "What constitutes an enterprise that should be allowed to have 'enterprise apps'"

Apple has a list of requirements - https://developer.apple.com/programs/enterprise/ - for example, a company needs to have at least 100 employees. The issue, however, seems to be how stringently these requirements are enforced, or whether they are at all. In the case of Hermit, the Italian spyware company seems to have created a fake company and tricked Apple into granting the fake company access to the developer program. Now, the interesting question for me is whether the fake company actually managed to pass all of the requirements, like giving Apple a list of 100 fake employees, and whether Apple actually performed their due dilligence and checked whether the employee list was real, or whether they accepted it at face value, or didn't even require it.

In other words, I think a key takeaway from the latest incident is Apple needs to take accountability and harden their Enterprise program entry requirements, and I haven't seen anything about that being the case.

We need a BT manifesto of how phones, cars, etc should behave:
1. Don’t start any program/activity unless directed.
2. Don’t switch output devices without confirmation.

My biggest complaints are my car taking over a call mid-conversation (I pull in driveway and my wife is on the phone in the house) and now I’m hearing her call; or switching between 2 BT devices when I didn’t ask for it.

what do you mean a one-off project? some of these have corporate/institutional backing but thats not the point. if you know how to implement machine learning models then there should be nothing (except maybe availability of pretrained models) preventing you from using common lisp. if you dont want to dig deep and are happy using just the front end (perfectly acceptable) then python is a much better bet

Keyboard keys are not touch sensitive typically. Touching a keyboard key will not trigger it you need to apply downward force. The XPS 13 Plus has capacitive touch buttons for function keys. They work like a touch screen. You touch them and they trigger.
I think the problem with "Roman concrete was better" is that archaeologists don't know about construction neither. You can see that as well when they estimate the duration of the construction for pyramids, or when they state 20 men were needed to move some block/stone/whatever around. A sleight tool like a pulley or a sled decimates the amount of manpower needed. Our ancestors might not have had our technology and knowledge, but they were as smart as we are.
The next step is obviously for studios to create their own artificial actors. Why let someone get famous enough to demand high licensing fees when you can fully own the likeness that gets famous. Not even sure this is a bad thing since celebrity culture isn't really good either.
I cannot fathom why people sign up for this kind of spam-direct-to-your-inbox. The article openly discusses the ways in which they manipulate their audience, and admits the “newsletter” is a marketing initiative.

Nothing has me reaching for the back button faster than a popup asking me to subscribe to a newsletter.

Nothing will turn me off from your product faster than manipulative dark patterns.

The fact that they even manage their “open rate” as a metric implies a level of tracking that screams “my audience is my prey”.
Tired: Here's the exact way to duplicate and bypass our tamper detection.

Wired: Make the tamper detection not duplicatable.
It can be any single byte, except probably not 0x00.

It cannot be a multi-byte sequence, which means it cannot be any keyboard key.

On SCO systems intr/break is the Del key, which on a scoansi terminal emits ^? (I don't remember the ascii value just that ctrl-? is another way to produce it) So to break out of programs is the Del key instead of Ctrl-C.

But on a vtxx terminal like the linux console or xterm, even if you were perverse enough to want to, you can not assign break/intr to the Del key like that, because on a vtxx terminal the Del key emits a multi byte escape sequence, not a single byte.

hot keys like ctrl-c require multiple fingers, but what's produced is a single byte.

(you can actually modify both the console and xterm to change what a key emits, but then the resulting terminal no longer matches the definition of a linux or xterm terminal)
Five-year plans but with stock photos.

My only advice would be create good content and make it consistent.

Each of my issue title is: “WR: Issue #X” and consistently I get an open rate of around 45% consistently, because I hope people find my work useful.

I also make the newsletter available on the web and provide an RSS feed to make it as easy as possible to get latest issues.

Also, if you use Mailchimp (and I imagine similar) the open rate is not counted if someone doesn't open your tracking pixel. They would only get counted if they click on a link.
Dont feel like you have to rationalize your reaction.
Spreadsheets work great because it's trivial to change the data structure, and because I can email/share them to the CFO. If I was to adopt a tool, it would have to at least export to spreadsheet.
> Instead of our engineer talent pool working on things that matter, such as managing climate change, thanks to (in part) a16z they now work on overheating the planet with lame monkey jpegs. We are in proto-idiocracy.

This statement assumes the following axioms:

- The engineers that go to work for such startups are capable of devising/deploying solutions towards climate change: Some engineers & researchers may be able to do this, but most are focused in CompSci/SoftEng, with no experience in the field that you want them to be in.

- No roadblocks exist throughout the deployment of said solutions (NIMBYs, politicians, perfectionist "environmental activists"/virtue signalers, bureaucracy, supply chain issues)

Despite the "Sounds good"ness of your statement (which I partially agree with), the practical reality is that the chances of succeeding in something like crypto is still way higher than in building infrastructure, as there are near-0 NIMBYs in crypto that will protest in the next town hall meeting, nor will there be weather issues during the deployment/upgrade of a network/smart contract.

"Software will eat the world" still rings true today, only because the deployment of software is still orders of magnitude easier than deploying something into the real world. In order to make something like infrastructure deployment that much more enticing, the (chance_of_success*windfall - chance_of_failure*investment) must be greater than investing in software, which has significantly lower development costs, does not get bottlenecked by supply chain issues, & can be deployed globally within minutes.

"But we don’t have four dimensions of space; we have three dimensions of space and one dimension of time. And despite what your intuition may have told you, time isn’t “just another dimension.”

Our intuition does not tell us this at all, it is entirely counterintuitive to consider time in the same category of dimensions - we have just been sold the consensus that it is so.

Anything wrong with considering time as simply a conceptual innovation humans use to describe of motion?
If you're browsing it for a while (recurring use), it starts suggesting "Facebook Lite" and links to an APK to install, instead of Google Play. This was on Android, on a Pixel 2, but since then I've switched to iOS last year so I can't reproduce it right now.

Never heard of that. References?

Either way, I agree that IF is the best inhibitor of mTOR. My guess is that there is much we don’t know still about the effects of Rapamycin and mTOR itself. Clearly mTOR inhibition extends lifespan considerably in mammals, but we also know that protein intake is crucial to retain muscle mass in old age. Seems like a double edged sword.
Question is, using rapamycin, can you still consume adequate protein amounts and retain muscle mass?

USA is repeating the same mistake that with the car industry. Instead of a balanced legislation that allows for growth and keep citizens happy the USA went all in on car centric cities to please car manufacturers.

Since I am probably one of the older ones here let me tell you about my experience in the 90's. I had written a time synchronization program for Windows NT and put it on the internets for anyone to download and use. Many did. Intriguingly, I got emails from two large Wall Street financial companies saying that they would like to install on their servers/workstations but my policy of "giving it away" would imply that they could NOT use it; I would have to charge something for it, they said. Ok, I told them and set a price which they happily paid. Those were olden times.
An yet I wouldn't immediately jump to the conclusion that it's "security theater" because it only protects you from the vast majority of attacks and it may still be vulnerable to many 0-days. By this definition we have nothing but security theater in everything. And as the saying goes, if everything is security theater, nothing is security theater.
