You answered your own question. Non-Linux users already have plenty of options e.g. M2 Air.

If I need a high-performance laptop with Linux---and especially if extended distribution support is important---I'd be wiser to go with the first one certified against the latest LTS rather than trying to convince a "built for Windows" laptop to work: one expected to provide full ACPI access/control, a working fingerprint reader, S/PDIF, a working graphics stack, performance optimizations.

As one example: If you're a university robotics program, it makes sense to get 20 of these at the B2B price tier for your incoming students and they'll >>just work<< for the entire duration of someone's graduate degree and beyond. (Unless something changed recently, Northwestern does this.)

As far as function keys, I also hate capacitive buttons ever since having a touch bar on a work computer. Using vim, you're constantly pressing the glass... nothing corner.

For laptops, it is sensible to default the top row to various controls (brightness, media keys, airplane mode, etc.) rather than F1, F2, etc. But once you have a dedicated Fn key, why not make F1 = Fn + 1, F2 = Fn + 2, etc.? It would take a week of getting used to but makes the most sense---especially if your top row of "real buttons" is now the number keys.

Glad you added more to that comment. I have a personal belief that "owner builder" is going to be something you're going to hear about more and more.

People that are less fortunate are going to start getting investment together to buy raw land, build a house and sell it for upwards of the salary of an AI developer at Google.

This is something people can get started on literally tomorrow.
I carefully considered this before I optimized GNU yes.

The reason it is useful is because yes can output anything, and so is useful to produce any repeated data for test files etc.

You can see the justification detailed in the original optimization commit:

I think it is utopia to compete with investors on price. Sure, you can make it too expensive for them. It will be too expensive for everyone else too.

Why not make property tax cumulative with the amount of property owned and impose a progressive tax here? It would have an equalizing effect on ownership and speculation would be less attractive for those that already own o lot of properties.

Sure, you have to fix a lot of holes to circumvent taxes so that not every company creates a large amount of holdings, but such strategies are a problem with every tax.

To now say a high property tax would scare away investors doesn't sound workable at all.
Give it a few years. I'd be exiting if I owned a stock site
That's assuming that your society does a good job of funnelling smart people into higher education. Most societies I've visited don't do that good, the USA does a worse job than most.

There are plenty of smart people on construction sites. I've met many, on site. Many just didn't get to complete high school because of the school system of their country, because family issues etc. Many of the skilled workers actually enjoy what they do and regard sitting in front of a screen all day as a waste of a life.

Anyone managing a crew or subcontracting _can't_ be dumb - it's a very challenging role

If there are people standing around on a building site it is mostly not because of blockers or scheduling issues - there is generally a subcontractor who is financially very incentiveized to make sure stuff happens when it should with no blockers for his crew

Overall your comment is really out of touch with reality, and a bit... dumb.
> I can think of a few things, such as official Ubuntu support, better support for multiple displays, ability to run x86 apps including windows and games.

Hence, the "average user". Also, I wouldn't try to play games on the Dell as it has a weaker GPU and no function keys.

> And also not overheating like the m2 does, but honestly at this point who knows if the dell doesn't have the same problem...

M2 does not "overheat". It throttles like any CPU. It should still run cooler, faster, quieter than the Dell.
Well, never give your phone unless it is a very critical account/service and thus avoid a shit ton of stupid bugs anywhere.

For a command line web browser that doesn't compromise on modern web features, I use browsh[0] especially in low-bandwidth situations. In conjunction with tmux and mosh it's just fantastic because you get the full colors and features of the web with minimal bandwidth, since the rendering happens server-side and all the information that is sent to your computer is terminal half-width characters.

Apparently people are stealing catalytic converters like there's no tomorrow. Some people have been literally killed trying to stop people stealing it from their car.

Mobs are literally going into malls and basically stealing everything in one specific store.

Homeless people are killing people, shoving people into running trains and in a lot of cases the victims are women.

Package theft (porch pirates) is at an all time high.

Mass Murders (gunning down multiple people) is happening every day in the united states.

But yeah I guess other than that, it's really not happening.

The irony is that Minecraft and its players have no problem with virtual tokens known as Minecoins that are used to buy game assets and mods.

Instead of allowing this sort of pattern to be decentralized and permissionless, they are forcing it to remain on a centralized and permissioned stack that allows them to consistently extract rent, exert control over what kind of sales happen, and limit how users can dispose of these assets.

You can’t even sell back your Minecoins, you are only given license to use them for the Minecraft Marketplace. Had this been a standard ERC20 token the company would have no way to block you from reselling unwanted coins on a secondary market.

It isn't like the USA influences a lot of the fucking world with its soft power, right? Coming from another country in the Americas it's pretty fucking ridiculous for me to read from someone in SF/Bay Area complaining about how exhausting it is that your products and services will suffer some regulation. A whole continent down south from where you live is under the grips of undue influence from your little paradise, kneecapping whole governments and societies to bend to its will.

A little regulation over monopolistic forces is the bare minimum, it's nice to see how others can force your hand sometimes, no?
Yeah the question that lingered for me is: what makes this aggravated assault, if "with a deadly weapon" is already appended to the charge? I would think that the involvement of a deadly weapon could be an aggravating circumstance, but it seems like double-counting to up the charge in two places based on the weapon.

But a quick google [1] shows that in NM, assault counts as aggravated if you're just holding a deadly weapon. So the reporting is just a bit sloppy — the charge itself doesn't reference "with a deadly weapon". It's just aggravated assault (because a deadly weapon was involved).

You are free to buy cars that meet your needs for yourself, such as multiple app stores. So it looks your standards are achievable if your willing to actually pay for it. This is more limiting freedoms and harming others, for example more expensive cars for me to satisfy one your desires. Or less innovation or competition because of higher cost of startup.
Think about it in this way:
You want to open a wholesale food distribution business for restaurants in a Manhattan
You want to make sure that enough restaurants will buy from you
They want to make sure that enough costumers will buy from them
The customers are going out less because of a downturn in the economy
So you do not open our business because the stock market is down

Is any business a ponzi scheme?

P.S Saying that, there is research that buying at IPO is rarely a good idea:

That's an interesting idea. Much like how China develops cities first, then moves people into them later, you seem to be suggesting individuals could build cheap houses on cheap land to incentivize infrastructure building toward and outward from new construction.

I don't think the economics work out here for the "less fortunate" because there is a certain minimum threshold of time-plus-money necessary to start this process, and I think without detailed planning provisions it will end up as worse-than-useless sprawl, but it's something to build on, if you'll excuse the pun.
Sounds plausible, but can you provide some evidence?

> The average instance of most NP-hard problems [is] pretty tractable.

I don't think the "average" and "most" in this claim make sense. If we could solve NP-complete problems efficiently, we would suddenly want to solve a lot of NP-complete problem instances that we currently do not even attempt.

All I see is it remove the motivation barrier and just create waste for the sake of creating waste. Another devices that people buy, tinker with it a few hours then sit in a drawer for years until it will be binned.

Hemp paper I don't know, but as a replacement for cotton it's pretty good.

>because hemp is, apparently, cheaper and better

Economies of scale might make it more expensive right now, because we're all using cotton. It could be a local maximum.

Also paper production for classical paper has been optimized to great lengths, maybe you'd need similar efforts to get great paper out of hemp. This doesn't mean it's not possible or the material isn't better. Just that you first have to convince everybody to use it. Again this could be a local maximum we're in.

Just look at how much money we're spending on improving batteries for EVs now. We spent 150 years optimizing ICE vehicles. For EVs to get cheaper and better we need a lot of subsidies, from a lot of countries, for a few decades.

Because it has all the things that make win10 and office 365 bad but combined in a single program.
1. No border
2. Does not have input focus on the chat input even when window is active (this is a feature present in other "web" apps like Firefox, Chrome)
The colors are ...
3. Themes are not themes but only some very limited color combinations which bring nothing new.
4. Transfering files is a pain.
5. Edit toolbar was made by an artist who hasn't seen other MS products before. "It has to be different".
etc.
Definitely will be worked out, and I wouldn't be surprised if a startup shows up to get people motivated (with advice, resources and planning assistance) and help them find investment.
I love states that have these kinds of clear explanations of their laws.
On a sufficiently long timeline, the government has to pay more for land/payroll/other services if all the land prices increase because working people will want more pay to be able to afford their own land.

Everyone would get to pay the same tax bill proportionally, but not nominally.
The point of an LVT is to tax all those external factors that increase the value of the land, such as local amenities, zoning, etc. The idea is the only value added by owners of the property was the structure they built, that’s theirs, the rest of the value is in a sense un-earned. Much of it is due to government investment in infrastructure and facilities, for example. Taxing the social value is the intention.
This is very true. I had so many projects I was working on by myself and I got burned out fast until I hired a freelancer. This has greatly improved my work. Just be ready to pay them.

> The thought is noble but the implementation sucks

And you know who does the actual implementation, right?

This is mostly a case of malicious (arguably non-) compliance.
The problem with that is that the heavy electric cars are actually damaging the road more than their ICE counterparts because of their huge batteries. For some countries this isn't much of a problem, just buy a normal car instead if an SUV and you should get the cost difference back, but for others the mileage of current smaller electric cars just isn't practical.

We could make exemptions for electric vehicles powered by green energy like we do right now for trucks and other large equipment, but that'll mostly hit the poorer populations who can't afford an electric car. Tacking road maintenance costs onto other general goods in the form of taxes disproportionately hits people who try to avoid using a car for the environment and the liveability of their city, for example by taking public transport or a bike.

A future where everyone drives electric is going to be more expensive because of electric car technology. I'd say pay the difference with two different taxes: one for car weight/wheel load, another for pollution through (similarly hefty) gas taxes. Heavy EVs pay extra for the road damage, ICEs pay for their pollution to encourage cleaner cars, and heavy SUVs/pickup trucks pay both.

> How many construction workers do you think got majority A's in high school?

There are many smart people who did not get majority A's in high school. High school performance is not a good metric for problem-solving skills (AKA, general intelligence).

Oh, that thing. The hemp fans kept trying to get that into Wikipedia years ago. It ended up at "soybean car".

In the early days of plastics, cost was high and phenolic plastics were brittle. So there were many attempts to add some kind of cheap filler material. Sawdust, agricultural waste, etc. This sort of worked. Not too well. Adding a filler which absorbed water caused the material to bulge when wet. Not too good for auto body panels.

The real frontier in this area is finding uses for agricultural waste - stuff that's a byproduct of growing food. Rice hulls. (Sometimes used to make rice paper.) Corn cobs. Bagasse, the waste from extracting sugar from sugar cane. (Sometimes used to make oriented strand board.)

A detail that strikes me as odd, and an explicit deviation from Rust, is to indent with only 2 spaces.

Dart does the same, but its justification is the (excessive) amount of indenting going on. It's often a struggle to match indents visually.
Knowledge overconfidence and anti-consensus view on controversial science issues
I have had various XPS 15 and I don't agree.

The biggest source of thermal issue comes from discrete graphics (nvidia) in powered state. Disabling it (which I know can be tricky on linux) or opting for a machine with integrated graphics solves it.

As for the CPU you get to pick your poison. With hyper-threading and turbo-boost, fans will be spinning most of the time. If you disable both you get 100% passive cooling.
We've built a society that's so litigious that companies are incentivized to recommend throwing away food even if there's less than a 0.01% chance of food-borne illness. Our waste is in part out of fear of getting sued or sick, but I'm not convinced the waste is the lesser of two evils. Food poisoning sucks, but it's survivable. Unlike starvation.

A good example of this caution is eggs and refrigeration, for which American's and European's have opposite ways of handling things.
Yes, I actually LOLed at that one!
Materials costs have come down but are still rough. Big builders get the priority of supply too. People want to drive less and work from home but you can't buy "raw land" with anything to walk to or any kind of internet speed.

> Russia is the one who decided to invade Ukraine, Russia is the one who decides to bomb children, Russia is the one who decides to commit genocide against the Ukrainians, Russia is solely responsible for this war.

To hear Russia tell it, Ukraine has bombed a lot of children in the last 8 years and was committing genocide in East Ukraine. Ukraine also got couped.

Note: I personally have no ability to determine the truth of the Russian side beyond reading the wikipedia page and noting it plausible. I wonder if you have some extra information on things like how many civilian causalties occurred in the Donbas before 2022 or what the real support for Crimea joining Russia was?
To be clear: Not a good case of bad monitoring OK. More an unresolvable case given the constraints. I've had to tame plenty of cases of bad interfaces, and that was the main one that evaded any decent resolution.

Assuming you are referring to the US, buy side real estate agents get paid by the sell side real estate agent (technically the real estate seller pays commission to the sell side real estate broker, which then pays the sell side real estate agent and the buy side real estate broker which then pay the buy side real estate agent).

If both do the same work in the same location, why would one get more than the other.

I totally agree. But kirbypineapple's point was about someone's salary not being cut when they move. That's much less interesting than someone in Thailand getting the Bay Area salary when they're hired.

If Kraken pays the same salary for a role regardless of location when they're hiring then that's awesome. I would find that incredibly surprising though, if only because advertising a role on 50* the typical local salary would make hiring really hard because you'd be swamped with low quality applications.

I don’t believe it’s possible to create a non-mediocre product of such complexity, especially if you need to support a variety of hardware. Without this requirement, iOS comes closest, though the UI discoverability is often abysmal.

And Linux is mostly good (and best, depending on hardware) now if you don’t need specific unsupported software.
I must be misunderstanding. Are you saying the auth mechanism is largely responsible for all the problems with Teams? Like if they added, I dunno, OAuth Login-with-Facebook, then magically all the crashes, disconnects, UI latency, bloated features, broken input text box and other poor UX design issues would somehow resolve themselves?

Login is the one thing that I literally did once, on first app launch, and never thought about ever again.

I've noticed more than a few documentary style youtubers create a blog post with basically the script of the video.

Is this for SEO purposes, or is it some sort of plan B in case of Youtube takedowns or is it an attempt to build an on-platform following?

I like watching practical engineering, but I don't like reading video scripts, so while I understand that not everyone have their own preferences, I'm not really sure who this is for.
I don't think it is an isolated incident. Once something has become "known" among the public and the medical profession, it seems quite difficult to update it. Another example is the dietary cholesterol issue.

The human body is incredibly complex and we have quite limited tools to study it, so we are bound to arrive at wrong conclusions. That by itself is to be expected, but what does really worry me is this missing knowledge updating mechanism. It can take decades for quite a substantial update on what we thought we knew to trickle down from academia to practicing medical professionals.

At this point, if you have any kind of scientific literacy, it might be a good idea to verify whatever your doctor claims.
