When considering "reputable brands" look at the length of warranty on an item. We purchased a countertop oven late last year. The warranty was five years parts & labour. Every major brand was one year warranty. The closet we could get was a single major brand with a three year warranty. That's my litmus test these days; not branding, not marketing, not price, not availability, not "reviews", not Consumer Reports. One number - how long is your warranty and does it cover parts and labour?
Google could also simply buy Canonical, and then decide what to do with Ubuntu. And doing some damage to the Microsoft monopoly, as a side bonus.

If I'm running a country or a multibillion dollar business, I'd certainly not want to leave my future wellbeing to the good sense of two powers with a gigantic historical axe to grind.
You suggest I do what? I could talk to people about two decades of NATO encroachment on (shall not be spoken) R. Or discuss with people how in the weeks prior to conflict, VP Harris was in Munich and said Ukraine should join NATO. Or discuss how comedian and Vogue model Zelinsky said Ukraine should re-acquire nuclear weapons. While true, none of those fit the rythmn of the mainstream narrative.
And even with all those inventions, self-driving cars are not available at a mass scale yet. I hope the tech won’t suffer the same fate as fission: Always just around the corner!
Not any more than the slotted counter pattern...
Most hunters in the US wear a blaze orange vest or hat to identify themselves to other hunters. In some states it's codified by law, and in others it's strongly encouraged (in California it's a big part of the mandatory hunter safety course, but is not legally required).

Many big game animals are color-blind (or more specifically, see color differently than we do), so a camo pattern with orange can still hide one from a deer, while making you visible to humans.
Remember there's also CALL options, if you are really bullish on a company. Less capital needed, and more risky, but if you're right, you're richer.

Focusing on the choice of the individual child is a very American way of looking at things. Nobody chooses to be born. So what? The obligation arises out of the relationship between parents, as a category, and children, as a category. Individual choice doesn’t carry nearly as much weight in Asian culture as it does in American culture. Likewise, the notion that obligations can only arise from voluntary and consenting exchange—as if it’s an economic transaction—is one that doesn’t make much sense in Asian culture.
It might better to link to directly to the FTC press release (https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2022/08/...) instead of the FTC "Consumer Alert" that is currently linked at the time I post this comment. The "Consumer Alert" is written at a bit of a simplified level, and I think this audience might benefit from the more precise statement of the alleged issue that is in the press release.
"To settle the FTC’s charges that the company’s claims were deceptive, Opendoor has agreed to pay $62 million"
wow, I'm a huge fan of the lite.cnn.com format. I wish all news sites were like this.
The newest remote working alternative: working from hotels
Up until 45nm the name of a process node was twice the length of a transistor's gate. At that point it stopped being technologically feasible to reduce the gate length but companies were able to find other ways, such as fin FETs, to pack ever more transistors in with each node without having to reduce the transistor length.
They aren't doing very good for who?

Obviously the other person on the opposite side of that trade is doing very good.
The new Navy camouflage is designed to keep your uniform looking clean when you are working around paints and oils and so on. It’s purely for workplace aesthetics and not intended to hide you from anyone.
> it baffles me why militaries didn't realize this earlier

Waffen-SS used dotted camouflage in the late 1930s (Platanenmuster), so depending on what you mean by “earlier” the idea of camouflage without “large blobs” isn't that modern.

The Erbsenmuster from 1944 is an even better example of this type of camouflage.
They lease from entities that will have to pay taxes if they operate as lease businesses in Canada. The tax is not directly aimed at wealthy people, but at any person or corporation buying a high-priced vehicle, before using it or leasing it.
If I do all the above I will definitely learn something about their target segment and how they reach them.

Thank you for the answer.

Another way I thought would be to scrape their entire employee list from LinkedIn and then segregate them by their role.
They're probably whining because landlord-tenant lawsuits are usually expensive and the tenants might not have the money to pay back. Like, you might spend $10k trying to get back $15k and only get back say, $3-5k of that money.

Doesn't hurt to try anyway though.
A better choice would have been to port their RN-app on iOS to an actual native iOS-app.
It should frankly be criminal to predate on user's attention to the extent that most popular apps do.

I keep my phone on DnD 100% of the time and ruthlessly disable notifications, but have a semi-smart watch that vibrates for texts/calls. I'm still addicted to checking my news feeds but at least they aren't literally yanking my attention.
It's not a bad bet, if you're losing market leadership through poor execution then getting the government to prop you up as a backstop to the bogeyman seems a reasonable tactic.
The ruling class’ lack of fear of legitimate backlash by the working class seems certainly like a good thesis to explain the modern Western world’s increasing inequality.

I could afford to buy a decent place in over 90% of the USA. Not here though (budget of £300k).
Does the bill include language that prohibits it? Or dividends? Or buybacks? Or increasing executive compensation? Or doing similar through shell companies/“investments”?

Because you can’t pass a bill, and then say “that’s not what the bill intended” when the groups that profit from it just forward the free taxpayer money they received to the already rich.

At some point there should be legislation that prohibits free money, and requires it to be a loan with no fixed repayment schedule only a requirement that it be paid back in full the moment the recipient does any of the above. Which also means the recipients can’t simply report having increased assets in their financial reports.

I wasn't familiar with this phrase, but I can see why it has stuck. My first thought before clicking the article was that it referred to some place like Abu Dhabi or Riyadh; a middle eastern city that seems clean and safe, if you're in the right social class, but with horrific abuses happening out of the spotlight. Now that I think about it, this could describe an awful lot of cities and countries in the world.

All the studies? Which ones?
>I read this and think "who cares?"

I'm not sure what you were expecting or what what angle you were approaching this article from.

There's more to life than economics and politics. I thought it was an interesting piece of history (especially as a Gibson fan) and also thought provoking aesthetic critique.
Here's a really interesting platform:

https://pocket.popcorncomputer.com/

Not much activity during last year, however.
It's "quite known" if you already know it. I didn't.
Well, "it depends". This is similar to my first production k8s deployment, where we used k8s to host a lot of PHP, some node.js, some other stuff, and due to legacy code it meant a lot of apache2 containers with mod_php.

The reason we went for that setup is that it helped us cut cloud/hw costs significantly (at the start we pretty much had two workers and that was because we ran everything with replicas=2) - each individual site had small requirements, and with k8s we could guarantee enough resources while binpacking as many of them per server as possible.

The actual deployment story can possibly get simpler than docker-compose, but I'd say the real question is whether you'd get a financial win out of it, as it seems you have a pretty good steady state going.
Yes. There's some nuance to it, but at the end of the day, yes it is just a function call. Usually the input and output are complex types which express the desired behavior or parameters of the process. There's some conceptual distance between a function that takes two integers and returns an integer, and one that takes a complex series of mutually related arguments, some possible business objects with child objects attached, etc.
This is a bit harsh; the article does contain a lot of useful advice. I myself implemented many of these tips about two years ago, and am still going strong. I do fall off the wagon here and there and get sucked into my phone, especially when I'm avoiding something in real life, but I really value having minimal notifications. I also love focus modes (though I've only known about them for about a year I think) -- great for working, sleeping, and overall mental health. But I would stress this important point: if you have trouble implementing these steps, there may be a bigger issue in your life that you're avoiding.
Because the market changes.

I bought a house recently and according to Zillow, I'm technically up about 10% of the purchase price just 18 months later.
I am getting a 'too good to be true' buzz in my head as I read and watch that. It was interrupted briefly by the terrifying 3D render of a smiling 'user'. https://i.imgur.com/OjTHHdM.png

I'm wondering if there's some reason sponges like this aren't more popular... is it to do with the brushing motion which is meant to dislodge more food, and reach hard to reach places?
So you're saying the FTC wasn't understanding the basics of home buying, and OpenDoor wasn't able to convince them either since they ended up paying 62 million dollars to balance things for the sellers affected? It kind of sounds like the people actually involved here may very well know about, you know, their business, and you might be in the position of someone who's just armchair speculating?
It used to be that when you shrank a transitor you would be able increase clock speeds by default thanks to something called Dennard scaling. That stopped happening in the mid 2000s. Price per transistor, transistor density, and energy efficiency are all continuing to get better exponentially but new semiconductor plants are also going up in price exponentially so more and more companies are dropping out of the race. You can look at the Wikichip page to see how much attrition there's been.

React Native really is a game changer for mobile development. I picked it up last year to build a new iOS app for the first time since the old Objective-C/UI-Kit days. I was literally building things in minutes that would have taken hours or days of writing custom OpenGL and networking code back then. Any performance tradeoffs left at this point are worth it IMO.
I wonder to what extent nuclear would be an option, given the relative abundance of previously-enchriched fuel now sitting around as waste, and an post-apocalyptic willingness to engage in high-risk, high-reward behavior... I suspect that there would be people and places that would be OK with the impacts of leaky, poorly shielded nuclear piles if it meant seemingly-endless sources of high heat independent of the need for piles of charcoal.

At the very least, in the right hands that idea could probably make for an interesting short story.
A new player could step in and take on Intel. Maybe the owners of ARM wise up and get into the manufacturing arena.

People made it big on AMD and Nvidia because they got lucky by owning the players who profited from the shakeup that cloud computing and ML brought to the industry. If you told someone 15 years ago that companies would be buying clusters of Nvidia GPUs for $100s of thousands of bucks, I doubt many people would believe it.

Intel certainly isn't a bad buy right now. Lots of things could happen and the industry will certainly look a lot different in 20 years. I can see a path where they manage to out-maneuver everyone else, but I think it's just as likely that they go the way of other major players.

I’m an experienced SDE who has worked all over the stack, from IOT management in data centers to tax processing to supporting PhD researchers. I’d love to hear more about your challenges and how I can help.
Large flat bold colors are pretty much the trend these days.
Individuality's got nothing to do with it. Identify with some nebulous collective like your genes, your culture or your nation if you wish. They haven't got eternity in them either. They will all die too, it'll just take a little longer. And then it won't matter for anyone.

There should be things which matter for their own sake, here and now, no matter what happens in the future. I can promise you that if you don't find them now, you won't find anything that matters in the future either.

> Bishof was terminated from her job for not meeting performance-related probationary standards. Bishof recently filed a discrimination lawsuit against the city

I don't understand how this can possibly be "discrimination". The person freely admits that they can't do the job, and that the nature of the job (fire rescue) means there are no reasonable accommodations that would allow them to do so. Then they turn around and sue for discrimination.

The form of social support this person needs is disability. Suing for discrimination because you can't do the job is a mockery of justice.
If you’re getting bailed out by taxpayers that means you don’t have the money to issue dividends or anything similar, so bills should be written such that issuing a dividend or whatever would mean you committed fraud in your application for a bailout, or should trigger an immediate repayment of the entire loan.

I find this to be some of the most racist shit I've ever read. Gees I can't believe the comments here.

Singapore is one of the safest countries in the world. When I've brought up how much I like Singapore someone always retorts "Oh, that place where you get arrested for walking down the sidewalk and chewing gum" to which I also respond "Well, I could be in the USA where I get walk down the sidewalk and get mugged"

Singapore has way better clubs than SF or LA. If you want to party hard until late at night it's got plenty of options. Vs SF/LA where there's a 2am curfew your options effectively end at 1:30am.

Singapore has amazing food options open until 4-5am. Try getting food in LA/SF after 11. Your options becoming Dennys and that's about it.

Oh but someone said Singapore is boring. Did they actually go? For me, having to stop partying at 1:30 way more boring than partying til 3-4 am and then heading to a hawker marker for food options at 10-15 stands.

Singapore had taxis you could order on apps before Uber existed. Singapore has amazing public transportation. MRT lines and busses and easy access to reasonably priced taxis.

I get that the government is a little on the strict side but I find it hilarious that none of the Apple fans who spout how much they love Apple's walled garden don't see the parallels. I like places where I can go to a cafe, leave my stuff on the table to go-order and not have it stolen. I like it far more than USA culture where people have gotten so used to living in an a pit of crime that they blame the victim for any theft and there are signs everywhere "don't leave anything in your car!" because the police/government can't be bothered to do their jobs and instead let the baddies run/ruin the city for everyone else. In the USA, "oh, your bike got stolen. You're an idiot for not buying a better lock or for even thinking it was safe to lock it anywhere".

I like to do fullstack development starting from the frontend working directly with designers, all the way to the backend, including dev ops.
This is a good, well thought out point that I 60% disagree with (respectfully, of course). I think you're absolutely accurate in describing how robotics is today, and you're definitely partially correct about how it will remain, but I think you're biasing towards thinking robotics (as a field) is exceptional to the types of progress that have happened in software.

To unfairly simplify that assertion, it reminds me of a founder who once told me that "robotics will never be as easy as software. It's just harder and will always be so."

I don't know if I think each autonomy company needs to figure out vehicle dynamics any more than I think each company needs to figure out their cloud infrastructure. At a certain scale (and amount of success) you will certainly need smart people thinking about it, but you can get pretty far on a 90% standard AWS instance. Things like wheel slippage are challenging, but their challenging in similar ways across vehicle types (but different from other tasks you need to work on when building that higher level autonomy).

Similarly, if you assume you can safely stop when there's danger, there are a relatively finite number of environmental conditions you should operate in - which we can build, maintain, and improve "once" as opposed to making every mining OEM or Ag autonomy shop build from scratch. In time, there might be certain portions of this stack that you can swap out with your own (or with some other company that's better at seeing in the fog, for example); but I fundamentally don't believe that every robotics company needs to solve all of these hard problems well on their own for every application.

Re:Sim - for paying customers we are putting their specific vehicle (and sometimes their environment) as a part of the offering. We're also using sim to help figure out how to position sensors (which will be another cool thing that we want to show at some point).

No handle? Might as well chew on a steel scrubbie.

> This can have a lot of knock on effects, like leaving early (really, leaving before others) from work is inconveniencing your peers and your boss.

Does this go the other way too? Is the boss staying late (with the expectation that others do so as well) considered rude because it inconveniences his workers?

Because if not, this has nothing to do with being polite and everything to do with power and deference to power.
Stefan, I met you a few times in SF, and remember you - probably 5 years ago. Really liked how you tried to tackle the transportation problem at Starsky. We had a quite long chat one evening, at a birthday party of an Italian friend. I think we even played bocce together :)

Good luck with your new company! Watched the demo; pretty cool stuff. Feel free to reach out to me if I can be of any help (starting a new VC fund), or even just as a sounding board ($my-hn-username @ gmail, or @simon on twitter).
