Agreed on WebRTC. It is the only transport that meets all my own requirements for true p2p. It has a lot of issues, but once you write enough code to iron those edges away it is the only option for all-platform, high-speed universal p2p.

A tor-like protocol baked on top of webrtc could do some amazing things :)
I see you're closer to the prices of Makita vs. Festool. I was under the impression the Festool track saw was closer to $1K a few years back when I got my Makita (and that the Makita was closer to $350). I could be mistaken though.
Edit: From my reading of history, none of this is unique to the British American Colonial experience. Forms of it are ongoing in occupied countries.

The unwritten rule of startup success is to be lucky. As with anything, luck favors the prepared but you still need luck.
Rebuilding infrastructure across a country the size of US to be non-car centric is going to release far more CO2 than EVs ever will.

It's not just laying train tracks everywhere, you have to tear down and rebuild housing to be more dense, streets to be more walkable and bikeable, and all the according infra such as electricity, internet cables, water pipes and anything else you can imagine to support the new public-transport friendly layout.

It's a mind-bogglingly expensive enterprise compared to replacing ICE vehicles with EVs.

There's also no reason at all why these 2 processes can't be happening simultaneously, in places where it makes sense. By presenting the argument through a false dichotomy, you're just alienating people from each other. But hey, that's modern journalism!

"The evidence suggests that Russia colluded with Sudan's military leadership, enabling billions of dollars in gold to bypass the Sudanese state and to deprive the poverty-stricken country of hundreds of millions in state revenue.

This is totally impractical at scale. In most small towns, you need to go outside town routinely, and possibly daily. Even if you live and work in town, your kid may go to a high school or your spouse may work one town over. And once everyone is already paying for a car, it doesn't make much sense to ask them to also pay extra taxes for public transport within town.

When joined in they were on the tail end of sunsetting Google Code, which they explained was the smart thing to do because Google doesn’t want to waste its time on opportunities that aren’t measured in billions.

Google then sat on the sidelines as GitHub grew to a tens of billions dollar business, and now Google spends billions trying to get more developers on GCP which they could have gotten for free if they still owned the portal to the code all the developers use.

A lot of Google wisdom sounded a lot wiser before we saw how it fully played out.

There are many more nuances than those presented.

This is a personal example, but there are many such cases: I used to do a job, academic research, that I loved, but it was poorly paid. I switched to a very lucrative job, which I don't hate, I don't love, but it is a job as it is understood when people say, "I have a job."

But the money from "the job" allows me to have a much easier life in terms of money, with less stress that I don't want (paying rent, what if I have an emergency that requires dollars) and with room for the many passions I have.

Guess what, I can also live without doing research; I did research on my own for a while, even published a couple of papers, which was both meritorious and useless at the same time, but I eventually devoted my creativity to other activities that are now more fulfilling than research.
I wish it would be permanent, all of these “marketing” and “advertising” companies just produce things that fill out inboxes with junk.

Looking at the response from Nest, I understand their intention. You can easily see how this can be twisted around if there is an emergency situation with great public opinion and observation around it, and it emerges that G/A are labeled as 'obstructive'. Ultimately a lot of it comes down to the lens that they are being observed under.

At the same time the problem with the phrase 'emergency situations' is that it is open to subjective interpretation. It's a slippery slope for good reason.

Side note: I am not yet desensitized to it, that they list 'school shooting' like a regularly occurring emergency.

If you need extreme robustness you have to have coverage and fuzzing and canaries and stuff for logic bugs as well as memory bugs. If you’ve got a long tail of non-exercised code paths, a “<“ flipped with a “>” will fuck up your day just as bad as a use-after-free.

If your code is covered, ASAN will red-zone the memory bug. It checks every address.

People are welcome to their subjective opinions about the “easiest” way to get truly correct software (which almost no one needs), but the oft-repeated assertion/implication that the tools don’t exist to do it outside of Rust/Go is wrong. Not a subjective opinion, demonstrably incorrect.

And when enough truly important shit is written in Rust, which will be soon, there will be CVEs. Many of them.

Actually, I think that's exactly what we should do.

Most people don't have a strong opinion on cars. They originally bought cars due to marketing. If we talk about how great cars are, most people will agree. If we talk about how terrible cars are, most people will agree.

Don't worry about what people think. Just keep talking about the benefits of walkable carefree cities, and that will become the new popular opinion.

"Progress Studies" sounds like subjective aggrandizement.
I think last time I tried this, I kinda gave up as soon as it got to the point of hand-waving hardware and telling you to run notebooks on a third party's web service. How is that democratizing AI? It's the very opposite! Not good. What is the intended audience here? Uni-level students will learn most of these within their programs if they're interested in AI. So they're not really it. Is the intended audience "coders"? If so, most of these "coders" will have to somehow get their employer on board (typically a corporate entity very much NOT interested in "coding" something in a 3rd party ecosystem) or do it themeselves. Hence, I want to take an RTX 3080+, 64+ gb of ram, big ass SSD and I want to get through the training. Not learn some basics on somebody else's platform (come on, even from the pov of OS, running both training AND notebooks on some 3rd party's private platform is so against the idea of open source...) and call it a day. What use is that? That may be enough if you want to be a cog in somebody else's machine, but not if you want to do something useful by yourself (I say "may" because big tech generally isn't interested in your "mad AI skillz" unless you also have a student loan backed piece of paper proving you successfully learned that for the last couple of years).

There will always be smart individuals and talented small teams that can successfully integrate AI into their products, but it's not thanks to the courses like this.

If you're going to aim at coders, there has to be clear path demostrated from the beginning to the end. From starting up your first notebook on your local dev machine and running training on your local training machine to setting up inference in the final app (.net app or whatever)

I wonder if there is a path to profitability if they have to deal with all the scooter-litter described in the article. That'd probably mean having someone continually going around town moving scooters into racks or something like that.
Here is an example of squandering:

https://www.theatlantic.com/photo/2018/03/bike-share-oversup...
A friend of mine got his first programming job in 2010 as a programmer assistant of a physics professor who needed to automate the procedures of proving crystal structures from mass produced PhDs impossible using graph theory. He was finding so many fakes, mostly coming from Chinese PhD students he needed to write (and optimize) the software to disprove them at scale.

These PhD papers were apparently the easiest to quickly edit from someone else and push past the uninterested reviewers.
So why is the shrug emoji so popular ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Pretty legit of them to do.
Though if it takes $2.9 billion in funding to make a business with ultimately, let's say $10m/yr net profit, I'd still call that squandered.

Especially if part of that move to profitability ends up needing to be like european city bike hire schemes where they need docks to avoid theft, reducing availability and adding infrastructure costs.
> for whatever reason

I’m inclined to think this is instinctive, as some insects and spiders can be dangerous to us, we are instinctively repulsed by them
>Everything doesn't have to be so far away and things like public transit don't have to suck.

I think this is hard to do while also allowing for people who want to live in a rural area to do so. Towns and cities are great candidates for centralization, but when you have a low population over a large area you can only justify for example one grocery store, and spreading public transport over a large (and likely low income) area is prohibitively expensive. having everyone live closer together effectively solves both problems, but most people in these areas either don't want to live in cities or can't afford them, so having a inexpensive car and driving is the cheaper option.
I don't think the end of moore's law means no reduction in prices though. A lot (most) of the cost of the chips is really the capital cost of building a new x nanometre fabs and the chip design etc. If they can be used for longer (as new smaller processes are taking longer and longer) it will still result in cost reductions, hopefully.

This is quite different than the Street Definition of conservatism, or the movement conservatism of the Republicans up to G.W. Bush. It certainly doesn't match the "staunch conservatism" peddled on Facebook.

I generally agree that Metadata does not fall under copyright, with these aspects. But it is more nuanced.. the Geotag, for instance: It was the photographers choice to move to this location, as it was the photoraphers choice to trigger the shutter at exactly that date_taken_time, as it was his/her decision to upload at specificly that upload_time. All of these aspects reflect individual choices, and individual choices are a reflection of our identity and creativity (ask Susan Sontag).
