A single data warehouse used by the NSA stores exabytes of data: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah_Data_Center

A single exabyte is enough to support Facebook's entire business operations for 5+ years. Photos, videos, posts, everything. I doubt the NSA is storing every photo on Facebook on their own servers, but it's clearly enough space to store every text message, all browsing history, all texted photos, all emails, all voicemails, all financial transactions into perpetuity for every person on the planet.

> it was just another example of Sony's proprietary

This pattern predates MemoryStick and even BetaMax (yes, Sony created BetaMax). I have several dictation tape recorders from the early and mid 70s. Norelco, Philips, GE, and Sony. All of them use the same size mini cassettes except… Sony.
The two examples show exactly the problem of the median: it is not that different from the mean in many situation when we talk about salaries and incomes. Now, if you start using the percentiles as you're doing here, then you are looking deeper into the data and your results get more accurate and reflective of reality, which just proves my point.
... if that's true, that's a pretty mind-boggling fact considering what the common bias is.
Nah, I don't really need to hear anything from people saying I shouldn't exist because of my ethnicity, sexuality etc.

I would say that professional sports costs aren’t a great representative of cost increases. The amount of ballparks hasn’t expanded to match the number of fans, and that’s really the role of minor league teams.

Major League Baseball is doing what is logical here: price segmenting their product in ways that wasn’t possible in the past. The television experience also wasn’t so great in the mid-century.

Why would you invite people with not a lot of spending money to an in-person experience when you can fill the bleachers with the wealthiest 10% of the country?

In other words, every seat you fill with someone willing to spend $50 at the park is an opportunity cost compared to the person you could have sitting there willing to pay $100. Increasing the supply of seats might actually lose you money compared to only inviting the wealthy and maintaining scarcity.

Same deal with Disneyland and Disney World. There aren’t proportionally more Disney parks and capacity to meet demand, there are still just two destinations in the whole country that have expanded relatively modestly in terms of capacity increase, but there are lots of other theme parks and attractions that have opened or expanded since Disney opened his.

It’s entirely logical for Disney to only cater to the top tier of spenders, because they run the most desirable and expensive to operate per-capita parks.

A point about parking: regardless of inflation, car infrastructure doesn’t scale. We know this already but most of America is in denial and will get into arguments with me about how they need their truck to survive.

Car-based infrastructure works fine when your town is a certain modest size and not every individual owns one, but our population size and car ownership rates have ballooned since the mid-century, and now traffic and parking is a squeeze in moderate-sized cities that don’t have good enough mass transit.

So, in conclusion, I think movie tickets are perhaps a the best representation in this article of our relative loss of wealth compared to the other items on this list. Only movie ticket demographics and economics have truly stayed the same compared to these other examples. Movies are still more expensive, because it’s absolutely true that the typical American family has become poorer in many ways.

> For a SW person, heck, there is always something that must be mastered, and pronto. Unless a SW person can kick back and write COBOL all day, there is much more to learn and apply to problem solutions. SW is fundamentally more demanding.

The main difference are that the constraints of EE are a lot clearer than software. From the laws of physics to the lists of available parts and processes to pick from. Then manufacturability and cost.

With software, your instruction set and available system resources/hardware APIs are your only real constraints. Everything else is an abstraction which you can question and rebuild.

Turns out the "correct" way to do things fall out more readily when you have more constraints, particular because we humans are worse at constructing constraints and abstractions than the universe. You get a lot more rope to hang yourself with to use a metaphor.

I saw an article on some Cosmo-esque sex talk site which did the same thing. It was a listicle with stupid GIFs throughout. The paragraphs were about 8 words wide on my screen, and each GIF was as if they just typed the list item title into a Giphy search.

It is a bad trend. Memes are one thing... Animated ones are a way of saying "Look at me, not the content".

EDIT for extra observation: I blocked them in uBlock, which was nice. However, Reader mode in Firefox has them! And you can't block element in reader mode. Perhaps "disable animated GIFs" needs to be a checkbox for that feature in Firefox.

Honestly from the description you wrote it just does not seem like TikTok is the right platform for you.

What I like about it is the light-heartedness of it, I don't see political content at all and I wouldn't really be interested if I got any as it's a pretty terrible platform for news and hot takes. Instead, I get cooking/funny/cute/surreal meme videos that match the Gen Z humor. It distracts me from gloomy Twitter/Facebook feeds.

It's not an app for serious content, it's a dopamine treadmill.
Climate change could not only affect the viability of plankton, but also shift ocean and air currents. Sampling at the same GPS coordinates could give very different results from one year to the next.

If the plankton counts suddenly shot up 2 orders of magnitude in a location, I expect that would cause a lot of questions to be asked that might result in more accurate results. But a decline or increase of 25% might just be assumed to be population fluctuations instead of a shift.

This has been common in the scrum ceremonies I've participated in in most of my career. The standup is primarily for keeping your manager up to date on how things are going with your estimates and maybe for asking for help from a coworker with a blocking issue.

I think what Crockford outlines here would be fantastic if it worked. Multiparty code review.
What makes it even funnier is that during the period when this article was published, NASA didn't even have a functioning method of getting cosmonauts to the ISS. And meanwhile this guy is spending his time and energy trying to get Russia to remove an item from their safety kit, not trying to advocate for a US manned spaceflight capability. Kinda goes to show where bureaucrats' priorities lie.
"Zuru hasn't simply alleged that it suffered a loss; Zuru’s cofounders declared, under penalty of perjury, that because of the negative reviews, Zuru had to spend more money to recruit job candidates for a particular position."

I don't understand the logic of the judge here. If even the most true-to-fact negative review may result in spending more for recruiting. Did not they have to demonstrate that they had monetary losses specifically attributed to dishonest negative review?

Yeah, no. Do we consider western editorials as official government positions?

> As of May, they'd lost more troops than they lost in a decade of bloody war in Afghanistan.

Completely meaningless. We're talking a real (kinda) near-peer war vs playing in the sandbox vs guys in sandals with AKs. It's disingenuous to compare the two, and you know it. Iraq is not even a proper comparison. You'll need to compare what's going on now with WWII combined arms battles. Maybe some of the Korean battles.

> Even their stated goals included Ukraine's demilitarization and "denazification". Hard to do that if you stop at the Donbas.

Fair enough point. Guess we'll see.
Makes sense. You do mention it on a few occasions and I am guessing the domain name reflects that as well so this yields some curiosity. Sounds like it hasn't had much impact on your life more recently. Was it an issue during any fund-raising activities during the due diligence process?
Hey Reini! I've always loved your smhasher benchmarks. Appreciate also that you have Mitzenmacher's tabulation hashing in there, which is my goto.

We don't use SQLite—I don't know how you got that impression? You can find out more about TB's actual storage engine here [1].

However, I have only tremendous respect for SQLite. And to be fair, it's meant to be run embedded, the application is responsible for security, and many applications couldn't go far wrong picking SQLite. It's a fantastic piece of engineering.

Soft deletion is certainly very situationally worth it. I've found the most value when 1. it is well supported at the ORM layer and 2. business requirements dictate strong auditability of data. While I have undeleted items on occasion, I've used soft deletes more frequently to debug and build a timeline of events around the data.

For context, I've worked in fintech where I often needed to review backoffice approvals, transactions, offers, etc.
> I like to think of what a donation of that amount could feed people. $1 is a bulk meal for someone in need. Should Netflix prevent me from donating three meals to needy families?

If they know you have $3 to donate to someone in need they will do whatever they can to prevent you to do it and they will try to capture this amount for themselves.

This is basically how our society works today. And I don't know what is worse, billionaire companies doing this or people that think they are right doing this.

That would likely depend on the meaning of "based on" (not a lawyer here!), and the actual lawyers would feel very happy charging exorbitant sums for arguing it out in court. As any sensible corporation (that is not deriving its income from lawyer's fees) would like to avoid that so the easiest approach would be "don't look at GPL code".

That raises an interesting question though. If I read the code, remember it, and then re-type it as is, that'd obviously fall under license's terms. But if I write an ML process, that knows to read code, understand it, and reproduce it, and it ends up reproducing the said code byte-for-byte, is that considered copying too? Suppose I didn't intend for ML process to work that way, I just programmed it in a way to find optimal solutions, and trained it on a dataset of GPL code, and it happened that this particular piece of GPL code, byte-for-byte, was chosen by the ML algorithm as optimal. Did I copy the code? Did I violate the license even earlier, when training the ML model on GPL code?

I agree that cars are better, but are vacation destinations like Disney really better? If you see parade footage from magic kingdom in the nineties you'll see that the crowds are far less. Sure there's more variety, more thrill rides and more alcohol, but I'm not sure the crowds and increased expenses are worth it.

Ditto on Las Vegas as far as prices are concerned.

If they're in state media, sure. Even our independent media is permitted to call it a war, though, not just a "special military operation".

Sure. That it's near-peer is a surprise.

Elon Musk doesn't know you exist and doesn't care what you think about him. Pretending that being sued is the same thing as losing isn't honest. Musk alleges twitter didn't keep to the terms of their agreement and it will come out in court how true this all is. It's not worth having a personal opinion of what people you dont know deserve when their crime is "involved in a business deal you don't approve of".

It's a bit weird to take the release date for one, and the start of the development for the other. By that measure, the first pre-alpha (!) release of Rust was in 2012; the first stable release in 2015. On the other hand, the first RFC for C++0x was in 2008.
A better way to phrase that would be: "could not recommend prosecution of a sitting President and associate members for conspiring or coordinating with the Russian government in its election interference activities, but did lay out how prosecutors not under prosecutorial restrictions would do so in great detail."
Someone did this with my Ebay account. They changed the phone number, email (same email, except it was @outlook.com), and password. Thankfully, Ebay has an account takeover department that helped me fix the issue within an hour.

For fun, I ended up emailing that @outlook.com email asking them why/how they did it and they just replied back "why can't you just let go of it...".

I guess it depends on how you measure it. iPod felt like a true success - it was a rebirth for Apple, proliferated iTunes across millions of computers, built up sensational excitement for an iPod phone, which ultimately became the iPhone which is still a success today.

> On the one hand it seems amazing that such a great man would take a break and make himself available for things like that.

AFAIK that was rather characteristic of Einstein. To quote from Mason Currey's "Daily Rituals: How Artists Work" (found on https://selbstwehr.com/2017/01/31/einsteins-daily-routine/):

> Einstein immigrated to the United States in 1933, where he held a professorship at Princeton University until his retirement in 1945. His routine there was simple. Between 9:00 and 10:00 A.M. he ate breakfast and perused the daily papers. At about 10:30 he left for his Princeton office, walking when the weather was nice; otherwise, a station wagon from the university would pick him up. He worked until 1:00, then returned home for a 1:30 lunch, a nap, and a cup of tea. The rest of the afternoon was spent at home, continuing his work, seeing visitors, and dealing with the correspondence that his secretary had sorted earlier in the day. Supper was at 6:30, followed by more work and more letters.

> Despite his humble lifestyle, Einstein was a celebrity in Princeton, famous not only for his scientific accomplishments but also for his absentmindedness and disheveled appearance. (Einstein wore his hair long to avoid visits to the barber and eschewed socks and suspenders, which he considered unnecessary.) Walking to and from work, he was often waylaid by locals who wanted to meet the great physicist. A colleague remembered, ‘Einstein would pose with the waylayer’s wife, children, or grandchildren as desired and exchange a few good-humored words.
Does America “represent the world”? No.

Does America represent the national security strategy of essentially all of Europe, most non-Chinese nations in Asia, and much of South America?

Absolutely, and to pretend otherwise is to be dreaming.

If you’re not in one of those areas then you are correct that your adversary is not our adversary. But it’s pretty statistically likely you are, and in that case the two are linked.

You’re welcome to return the trillions spent on your defense, of course, and set up your own naval strategy and naval supply chains to defend your trade routes.
You can say that here, because we're all in a space where science is unquestioned, but try and say that to my mom over the Christmas table and you won't get very far in that conversation.
Your implementation/idea looks interesting, but I am looking in different direction. I do not want web based. I am often in areas where I do not have network access. I do not want to deal with security breaches, vulnerabilities, down times.

I do not want to type things. I am looking for a tool that will take voice recording and convert it to text on my desktops and and most importantly my (Android) mobile devices.

I have been using text files in markdown and raw text before that, for decades. They are searchable, quick and accessible across multiple platforms.

Yet, I still use my dictaphone[0]. It requires pressing a single button, it records my voice, time stamps it, and files it.

I am looking for a solution where the app behaves as a dictaphone, and voice-to-text is performed, and the files are local if I want them to be.

Make something like that and I am willing to drop coins.
