These are exactly my feelings with Lex Fridman Podcast.

I tried with so many of his guests, the lineup is amazing! But every time I end up dropping early on the conversation. Surprisingly, I find him even worse than Joe Rogan as a host (surprising because Joe doesn't have a technical background, whereas Lex does). Joe at least is an apparently neutral host with some charisma and guests get to portray their ideas clearly. Lex somehow sucks all the fun out of the conversation.

Contrast with, for example, Tyler Cowen which also hosts a wide range of interesting guests, and still is able to pose interesting questions and guide the conversations in way that are insightful for the listener.
They were able to move to a somewhat-sane solution everywhere else, but in the few markets where the new GPay launched, Wallet is... sort of integrated into GPay, or something?

GPay was/is also one of those nice services where they never made it work for Workspace/G Suite accounts.
I think anuraj edited his comment. He originally said, “Modi bypasses parliament to pass his own bills.” So our debates are starting to lose context.
I've told the "two different apps named Google Wallet" story for years to illustrate G's internal dysfunction, but didn't know there were so many brands/apps in addition to the two Wallets. Incredible.
Feren OS is great. For anyone just getting started in Linux, or returning to it after awhile, Feren is a good one to try out.
sorry, you're correct of course and I was being a bit sloppy. apologies.

still, the fact that I haven't heard of the counterexample, suggests that indeed TradFi isn't close in the US

sorry to move goalposts again ;-)
Ask HN: I want a VR headset. Should I hold out for Project Cambria?
I want to get a VR headset, but I'm hesitant to buy a Quest due to rumors that Meta's higher end headset is only a couple months away from release. Should I wait?
I would say it's a strength of his that the guests just get to say what they have to say. He always prepares a couple of questions in case the conversation stalls, but other than that, he let's the guest talk about their ideas, instead of sticking to a specific story he wants to cover.
Like other commenters I found this marketing website pretty nauseating. The Wikipedia article on "Hydrogen oxidizing bacteria" has better info and mentions how Solar Foods is using knallgas bacteria at the bottom:

Visa has not been found guilty of anything in this case yet. The court merely didn't fully grant their motion to dismiss.

That only establishes that Visa is actually being accused of something illegal, i.e. Pornhub allegedly knowingly profiting from child porn and Visa allegedly providing payment services to Pornhub while allegedly knowing that Pornhub was using those payment services to profit from child porn (allegedly) would make Visa a participant in the alleged crime, if those allegiations turn out to be true. Hence Visa is a defendant in the court case where the truth of the allegiations will then be debated.

That's why the document you linked uses the word "allegedly" so often.
Google+ and circles were a good idea and should have been given a team with a lot of free rein and left to grow organically.

Google+ died because it was forced on everyone that had a Google and a Youtube account by psychopathic managers to "grow the numbers". This included forcing a realname policy on non-G+ users that explicitly did not want their online persona connected to their identity. It became the least cool platform on the internet overnight.
We use the Apache 2.0 license and we don’t intend to change it. AGPL would restrict adoption. We have a few large companies that maintain Appsmith forks customised for their needs. A couple of them have made the product better.
Only thing that I’d like is an acknowledgement at this point. An engineer from Superblocks spent hours of my team’s time asking questions about the project on our Discord community. We were too dim to realise that the engineer wasn’t interested in contributing but competing. It’s all perfectly legal, but definitely left a poor taste once we found the product.
> One of the twin brothers died and a pedant meeting the survivor asked him, “Did you die, or was it your brother?”

When I was young someone told me a very, very similar joke and attributed it to Mark Twain: "We were twins. One of us died. I could never tell if it was my brother or I."

Most vegetation is water. Vegetables, at least, are about 90% water.

So yeah, except for the water content, most of the molecular weight is atoms that come from air- but the water content is *HUGE*.
I started with Norton Commander under MS DOS in 1990-s. I am still using a Far Manager on Windows. It is completely keyboard-based, and I see from the experience that my file operations are 2-3 times more effective then of my peers using system file managers with mouse (or, even worse, touchpad).

I have a years old system of file storage in my home directory, mostly for code: Github, Gitlab, work projects, pet projects etc. Also Downloads folder is there by default. It is much like using a console, but with greater visibility and pre-defined shortcuts for frequent operations.

What an epic debacle. Since hangouts has been phased out there isn't even a way to one click video call someone anymore in google chat, it is a hacky meet link. There was a time when I used hangouts for everything, video, SMS, and chat. I could even do all of that from my desktop PC. Google needs to get it together and offer a comparable solution to iMessage.
In principle you could provide what's called a Probabilistically Checkable Proof. This would be a long string of bits, and a verifier would only have to sample 3 random bits to check the validity of the whole thing.

In practice we don't even make "normal" machine checkable proofs. They are just too much work. Maybe in the future when the machines are better at understanding us.

I'm old enough to have ordered anime from their catalog, back when your choices for Anime were driving to a big city that had a specialty store, getting it from a catalog, or copying fansubs on VHS tapes.

[edit]

I forgot "random anime tapes that got thrown in the children's section of your pre-blockbuster VHS rental store." as another way to find anime.
This is true motivation to keep me working out the ideal desktop environment for Linux on the Web. The idea of "a message passing facility enabling client programs to rendezvous and exchange messages" is in particular the kind of thing I want to continue to iterate upon, albeit in a more abstract sense than the kinds of windowing events that are referred to.

He's not perfect. Though I find it pleasant that he has a mostly neutral point of view as that's when you can get the most information out of a discussion. I think in many traditional media formats, the opposite is the case, which is what we're used to. Like for e.g. Charlie Rose, or any of the biased media outlets today.

One can possibly argue that information has always been manipulated and public discourse as well since the dawn of civilization. So, I find having an interviewer be open to multiple possibilities or interpretations is refreshing.

He's not completely neutral though, he has a slight liberal bias, and at the same time doesn't address criticism of said guest many times especially when they are a friend, like Joe Rogan, or Elon Musk. That being said, it is a scientifically progressive podcast that is very illuminating in many fields for non-experts, and the public. And I have learned a lot and enjoyed listening to it.
Don't forget Google Pay Send and the Tez mobile payments app in India.
that one looks more like a very liberal translation to match the present audience (see shagie comment)
Does china have nuclear weapons pointed at the US? Isn't it the other way around?
Yeah, true - but I think the opportunity is a really tight integration with a mailing list. I think personal sites need some dynamic content - such as posts and a mailing list. Otherwise, they just feel stale.

That's what prompted me to start Postcard. I had a blog set up, and I wanted an integrated mailing list. It took XML hacking (RSS), $30/month to Convertkit, and lots of complexity to make it "just work". I wanted something far simpler, and built for people instead of marketing organizations.
I wasn’t super clear but I meant HR wouldn’t do that in such an obvious way or without the ass covering paperwork. Totally agree that they also look to push employees out and are looking out for the company
id tech 3 is pretty elegantly organized, not to mention Carmack's contributions with bsp, netplay, finvsqrt, sss, megatexturing, presumably the current iteration of predictive rendering used by oculus kit. He's someone who knew the technology and the business top-to-bottom, and likely still does.

Carmack is more like an academic than a smoke and mirrors exec.

Having sat through as many as 9 keynotes in-person before that relationship went up in a blinding flash, I'll say I look forward to listening to this podcast in full.

> I suspect if all businesses were held to this standard perfectly, there would be no businesses operating that generated $500M in revenue per year.

If this standard were held perfectly and everyone knew it would be applied to them, businesses wanting to generate more revenue would adapt accordingly. Obviously violators of this standard exist today _because_ this standard is not enforced (i.e. laws without any "teeth" are not sufficiently motivating).

I sometimes wonder how so many intelligent people in one company can't figure out their chat app strategy. At one moment there were 7 competing messenger apps from Google. For the last few years I don't even bother opening any of them.

(And I'm thankful that it is possible to turn off "Chat" tab shoehorned into their Gmail app - even though you have to do it separately for every account!)

I found the video you refer to (https://www.reddit.com/r/justneckbeardthings/comments/mdmlm0...) and it does not contain any of the things you listed. Did you even listen to what he was saying? His point was only that, as flawed as 50ties men were, the ones current culture is producing may be even worse for women and that people demolishing traditional values may have thrown out baby with the bathwater here.

Now, is he right? It's hard to tell, but the phenomenon he describes definitely exists to some degree.

Too bad we have all that legacy C code that won't just reappear by itself on a safer language.

That means there are a lot of not careful enough developers (AKA, human ones) that will write a lot of C just because they need some change here or there.
Security!= Privacy

Providing a phone number doesn't undermine the security of Signal at all.

I'd also hazard to say that Signal isn't proprietary either, yes, there are parts of the project that are pretty opaque and we can definitely get behind the issues with that, but it's far from proprietary IMO.
My understanding is as follows:

"Meet (original)" app is soon to be dead.

Full interoperable Meet protocol support is being added to the old Duo (now called Meet). The original app is merely being kept around while the new duo roles out, and until they are sure that all relevant features have been added to the new app. Once this is all accomplished they plan to add a nag message to the old Meet app to convince people to move to the Duo based Meet app.

If your family gets prompted to use Meet (original), it probably means they have received the recent update to the old meet app, but have not yet gotten the update to the old Duo app. It sounds like Google is doing phased rollout of the updates.
Why is this down-voted? Fuck the name appropriation for corporate PR.

They've recently shoehorned "Chat" tab into Gmail, of all places! So no, folding together apps is not always a good thing.
It's interesting that Lex is so polarizing, I personally find him a great host.

Him almost never doing research is objectively false though. He often reads books/articles/tweets written by the guests and asks about them for example.
One possible contributing factor: flux must be removed from copper pipes (the inside!) for good performance. Plumbing codes require that flux meets ASTM B813, which means that the flux will flush out with cold water.

Sadly, even today, most plumbers will show up to a job site with petroleum-based flux that most certainly does not meet B813. It can stay in pipes for years, slowly leaching chemicals that do their job: weakening the protective oxide layer in the pipe. Also it tastes and smells terrible.

Is important to take in context the SIZE.

A lot of Ink is wrongly interpreted because people not think about the SIZE of the (data/problem).

MOST, if not ALL(99%) of the thinking about this stuff is for the very end of the scale: Terabytes, dozen/thousand of machines, insane latency, etc.

MOST, if not ALL(99%) of the ACTUAL data people deal with, the one that matters, is in the low of gigabytes, at best. One, maybe 2 servers, answer in a second(is) is more than ok.

You can fit most databases in an iPhone with spare to work.

Instead, the real trouble that people face is wrong schema/query designs, and introducing bugs and other stuff that the RDBMs thankfully correct/protect against.

Making the primary store MORE strict is a big win to alleviate the real issues.
> Something like 30% of trade ins have negative equity

Could you please clarify what this means. E.g., A car "X" is traded in for a car "Y". X gets a trade-in-value of $2,000. That is, the cost to buy Y is reduced by 2,000. Where does the negative-equity in your point apply here please? Thanks.

This year I've done 4-5 online chats with Amazon's Customer Service trying to resolve a single issue (still unresolved). I've definitely wondered what happened to the old "Customer Obsession" and "World's most customer-centric company" principles that they used to quite legitimately crow about.

In days gone by, they would have said sorry for my trouble, and doled out a gift card, months ago.
These are the scenarios to keep in mind whenever people promote cashless societies. Every transaction that needs to go through a gatekeeper means there is a gate that might be closed on you.

Only cash is able to protect the ability to do private transactions withouth any possibility of external dependencies or interference.
"Just... cut a few."

"Which pages do you have in mind, professor?"
No you are not, because you do not know for sure if the device is really competitive. Most people assume such judgments are clear and obvious but that is completely wrong. It is really about other people think, including of course the patent examiner but others too. If they think FAANG co. patent is not, or partially competitive, they you are fine.

The entire patent system is so obscure, non-obvious and surprising that I would almost NEVER assume any patent is competitive to another just that may seem to be the case at the moment.

In addition, it is basically impossible that what you have is identical to their published patent. Even if they do overlap some of your stuff will be good for another patent, based on differences and you will be in effect piggybacking on that one.

The short moral of the story is one should NEVER assume ANYTHING is obvious in the patent system. And keep in mind I am not saying it does not work.
Cybersecurity Should Be on Everyone’s Radar, Says Congressional Staffer
This so much. I can pretty easily reverse engineer why me, or some folk on the internet, wrote some code. It might take time, but reading a few files should do it.

The 'effing building or running process and its unwritten dependencies/twirks though? Hell, better rewrite the project from scratch than having to figure out the obscure incantations I used 6 month ago.

I'm so glad our industry heavily pivoted towards package managers with consistent `$ pkgmanager build` processes. I've lost count of the number of times I did not document my Python dependencies when I was younger.
It's not even about porn. Nudist websites now also require real ID verification for their members. I can see this extended to fitness websites soon.
> I only read monumental inscriptions, that's where Latin shines

Even with monumental inscriptions, you'd need to carefully filter them to make sure you only read old ones. The newer ones frequently include U, e.g. I like this little poem in a park in Coimbra: http://bloguinho.casa/img/2017/01/nemus-litterae-old.jpg (the park also includes more poems, which is pretty cool). Too bad we don't have such Latin poems in Porto, where I live now.

"The output contains some typographical niceties, so we can reasonably say that the code does contain an implementation of a very limited and basic form of LaTeX" has to be on the more optimistic side of overstatements.

It's roughly akin to "cat can actually display content quite similar to a <pre> block, so it contains a very limited and basic form of a web browser".

It's not entirely wrong. But mostly because it left "wrong" behind long ago and is in a different country now.
Note that creating a US region AppleID now hard requires a phone number that can receive SMS to create it, in addition to an email address.

An AppleID is required to install any apps on an iPad or iPhone.

I think creating a Ukranian region Apple ID does not require a phone number and can install all global apps. Many popular apps (but fortunately not Signal) are published only in specific App Store regions (such as US).

Note also that signing in to the App Store will now silently enable iCloud. It has to be disabled explicitly again.
> assuming some beastly server with terabytes of ram, hundreds of fast cores, and an exotic io subsystem capable of ridiculous amounts of low latency iops, I'd guess the perf issue with that example is not sql server struggling with load but rather lock contention from the users table being heavily updated.

You'd guess wrong. The example above is not the only query our server runs. It's an example of some of the queries that can be run. We have a VERY complex relationship graph, far more than what you'll typically find. This is finance, after all.

I used the user example for something relatable without getting into the weeds of the domain.

We are particularly read heavy and write light. The issue is quiet literally that we have too many applications doing too many reads. We are literally running into problems where our tempDb can't keep up with the requests because there are too many of them doing too complex of work.

You are assuming we can just partition a table here or there and everything will just work swimmingly, that's simply not the case. Our tables do not so easily partition. (perhaps our users table would, but again, that was for illustrative purposes and by no means the most complex example).

Do you think that such a simple solution hasn't been explored by a team of 50 DBAs? Or that this sort of obvious problem wouldn't have been immediately fixed?
If you replace fluoride with various mixes of phosphates, calcium, and carbonates, you might be correct.
Even though I didn't align or agree with Stone. It is refreshing not to hear the constant back and forth you see on TV's or just each network running their own agenda. Truth is a fine thing, nothing is black or white. I feel in these times it's more important that we stay open minded to ideas, speech and discussion.

The act of pushing back, retaliation, or suppressing information actually increases the desire for said info and notoriety/fanfare of many people and ideas. In the Oliver Stone interview, they do discuss the best way to interview someone is with a blank canvas, and that is honestly refreshing. Let viewers develop their own opinions. But, a little more pushback or rather counter-arguments might have been welcomed, but that might change the tone of the interview into a more adversarial one.

People need to get out of closed off echo chambers, be respectful of each other, and just agree to disagree, but still look at each other as a human being. The only way we progress through the 21st century.
> * It's a fermentation process, so it takes heat and water, not just air.

To be fair, if the heat is from solar or wind energy, and the water is collected from rain (which I guess includes river water?) then those are also "out of thin air".

Or I suppose you could say that air containing rain is not as thin (i.e. contains more mass) than "normal" air, or that "air" only refers to the gases, not the rain falling through it, in which case they'd have to rely on moisture vaporators, like in Star Wars.
