Once again you havent actually responded to anything I've said but have applied your "Rude dude sportin’ a radical ‘tude" bio attitude to belittle. Can you be more direct? This obtuse scorn you are heaping is hard to find real points to sift out & handle in it.
Well yeah, just like everyone else's industries. And the US government was silently encouraging it to create a Capitalist bulwark against Communism in Asia.

That doesn't change that in the mid-70's the Japanese chip manufacturers were failing, and by "pooling together a bunch of also-ran teams together" they actually made better quality chips than the US, not just cheaper ones.
It would need to be turned into a vector to scale properly but I can think of other apps that have complex logos, especially on the MacOS ecosystem. Git Tower comes to mind.
Aaaah, and this is why we need Steve Jobs, or someone with his power, guts, vision. I think this is the kind of technology that Steve Jobs would have pushed for the new iPhone/iPod replacement. Similarly to how he pushed the "miniature mechanical disks" while the majority of Mp3 players were struggling with 4/8gb flash memory.

I wish that whoever leads The Pixel would adopt this memory... shit, even RaspBerry or some other "underdog" could create an Android phone that used this instead of RAM/Flash.
It's trickle-down programming. They're inventing the next big database technology
or whatever by doing busy work and that will eventually enable somebody else to produce something of actual value to mankind.
And social media automatically putting everyone inside self re-affirming bubbles has made everything worse for everyone.
Similar story here. I was laid off after 4 years with a company, got 3 months severance. I used it to try freelancing while looking for full time jobs - it ended out working out really well and I am more fulfilled and make much more money now. I wouldn't have taken the leap without the layoff.
Trades do happen off-hours just OTC.
GNU Taler https://taler.net/ is the closest thing that I personally want of crypto, which is electronic cash (NOT a centralized bank currency).

Yes, I like paying by card. No, I don't like it making everything I do traceable.

I do want to live in a sovereign nation. Probate court and criminal court orders are important. But make it generally really hard for governments to interfere legally, and prevent technically the casual inspection of data.
I reject the hypothesis that this is a matter of irrationality. The error in this line of thinking lies with the fact that you have implicitly equated "have similar utility" with "have similar visible utility".

The reason "obvious" choices are "easy" is not because of the difference in actual utility, but because of the difference in "obviousness". I.e. it relates your observation to the probability that it does indeed relate to a difference in utility of not.

Therefore, two options with "similar visible utility" require more effort discerning whether the "actual" utility is also small, or you're about to make a very big mistake based on superficial notions of "no visible difference".

I content that given knowledge of actual equivalence, the paradox goes away and choices become trivial again.

A good example is phone contracts (at least in the UK). You'll spend far more time weighing options if they're bundled with all sorts of dark pattern magic like "first 3 months free then £X plus promo vouchers in select stores", compared to when you only have the annual price to compare between two choices. But it wouldn't matter if that price difference is £100 or £1.
The fastest way to get an accurate answer is to post the wrong answer on a forum with a bunch of nerds :)
So, why don’t we have a separate kernel (a VM really) handling WiFi hardware and perhaps some other network stuff? For a laptop the overhead shouldn’t matter match.
OP might be able to achieve that with a few minutes in Illustrator or similar.
I'm not against that point, as I mentioned in another comment, research into hydrocarbon synthesis is the only "carbon capture" scheme that makes sense to me, because it's not promising anything for free. "We'll use this solar/wind/nuclear energy to create fuels out of the air, and then we'll burn them later for less" makes thermodynamic sense, and as you pointed out, is necessary to continue some endeavors (and maybe to permanently remove CO2 from the atmosphere, at a huge cost).

It's these "we'll use fossil fuel energy to pull carbon out of the atmosphere and store it" schemes that smell like perpetual motion machine trickery to me.
The AWS people now are just like the IBM people in the 80s - mastering a complex and not standards based array of products and optional product add-ons. The internet solutions were open and free for a few decades and now it’s AWS SNADS I mean AWS load balancers and edge networks.
Recently? Social conservativism has always been anti-porn, and social conservativism has been gravitating towards Republicans since Roe v Wade.

It's pretty evident there are no social conservatives left in the Democrat party anymore, and 2 decades ago it was still large enough that Obama came out against gay marriage while campaigning.
> Your product asks will consistently want to combine these data sources (they don't know how your distributed databases look, and oftentimes they really do not care).

I'm not sure how to parse this. What should "asks" be?
That's a pretty high bar

Benz made the first car in 1886, which in your analogy means today is 1900.

I will be curious to see how crypto holds up in recession or under monetary crisis.

One of the reasons it was created hasn't really been tested, since the economy in the west hasn't faced a major crisis since its invention.

It seems plausible (if unlikely) that external events could push crypto adoption into more "normal" use cases. E.g. Israel's recent ban on cash transactions points to one way more things may become untenable in traditional finance.

I don't actually have strong opinions on what will happen - I do find your analogy fun to think about though!
Please do not assume this. The people who criticize crypto generally know more than the people relentlessly shilling it. Do not mindlessly repeat the "few understand" trope
The fraud/theft I was talking about is seller striping the vehicle of parts and putting in used third party parts and reselling the original parts. Things like that aren’t done at the local Ford dealership. Well, there’s less chance of that. My point is that dealerships are effectively the scaler and it’s better to pay the scalp price at the Ford dealership than from some random person. At least in general.
Last week Intel killed Optane. Today, Kioxia and Everspin announce similar tech
The key is Full Self Driving. Elon Musk has stated that without it, Tesla won't grow like they are planning. Who know if it is possible, but I think Tesla has the best chance with their access to top talent, no spending limits at this point, and a leader that is willing to put and keep the cars out on the road even with the bad PR of the inevitable crashes and deaths. Full Self Driving will save so many lives.
The benefit that is obvious to the regulators is that you can charge money for services. So for example, offering telephone services requires being a LEC (local exchange carrier) or CLEC (competitive local exchange carrier). But even telephone services have become considerably unregulated through VoIP. It's just that at some point, the VoIP has to terminate/interface with a (C)LEC offering real dial tone and telephone numbering. You can put in your own Asterisk server [0] and provide VoIP service on your burgeoning optical utilities network, together with other bundled services including television, movies, gaming, metering etc.. All of these offerings can be resold from wholesale services, where all you need is an Internet feed.

Other benefits to being a "public telecommunication utility" include the competitive right to place your own facilities on telephone/power poles or underground in public right-of-way under the Telecommunications Act of 1996. You will need to enter into and pay for a pole attachment agreement. Of course local governments can reserve the right to tariff your facilities, which has its own ugliness.

One potentially valuable thing a utility can do is place empty conduit in public right of way that can be used/resold in the future at a (considerable) gain. For example, before highways, roadways, airports and other infrastructure is built, it is orders of magnitude cheaper just to plow conduit under bare ground before the improvements are placed.

"but that ship has sailed" is a perfect summary of the situation because that ship is now the size of the Titanic in shallow water that will most certainly strand it and the only way to avoid that is to turn it around.

I feel like they would have introduced a more sophisticated bug that is harder to find/exploit.
Afaik they are opening it up to a much wider audience in the recent weeks. I also got it just 2 days ago, and applied the same way as your SO, only providing "developer" and nothing else.
Just saw both these comments, and I can only reply to this.

To "oceanplexian": Note that I used the word "universal". Evaporative cooling only works in dry climates. And the funny thing about dry climates is that they almost all lack water. I'll never forget the feeling of dread and horror when I saw water fans in Madrid cooling outdoor seating areas.

Your desert cooler is an environmental calamity and they should be banned.

To "celticninja": Yes you can do all those things but not universally in any climate (which was my point) and where it is possible it's probably an environmental disaster to do so (I can't think of any city in a dry climate in the world that doesn't have a water sustainability problem). You see we rely on AC (to your point), because we've thought the problem through and didn't stop at a shallow understanding.

Jeez guys! If your climate is dry enough for swamp coolers to be effective, they're dry enough for solar panels to make sense (if you care about CO2. I don't, I'm on acetaminophen). And it makes a lot more sense than wasting mineral water (i.e. well water).
For an extreme example, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (commonly known as North Korea) also has elections, but everyone with a brain knows they're a sham.
If china and the United States ceased trading, more people would die than in any war since world War 2. Kinetic wars are most likely a thing of the past. The next world war won’t look like the last one.

> the fact that adding “artstation” to the end of your phrase automatically makes the output much better…

It's like saying "steal from artists, but only the good ones"
People have been prosecuted for this sort of stuff over the past few years.

'Code is law' is just a reddit meme at this point, that has no basis in reality. 'Smart contracts' are just regular contracts, but with more opportunities for theft.
Actually yes. I think crypto promoters are either idiots or grifters...

Yeah, the art students with miniscule coding experience who just want to get stuff done are probably going to be thrilled to work with FreeRTOS.

The truth is, that Arduino always has put in a lot of work to do things that could already be done only to make them more accessible, easier to use and thus more widely available.

If you think this is pointless you should consider this might say more about how far you have come in your own journey than about the usefulness of that new feature.
Classical liberalism overlaps in politics with some of the Libertarian party. The little (l) libertarians in the US are, recently in the age of Trumpism, conservatives embarrassed with the GOP as a conservative party and their support for authoritarianism/traditionalism. They adopt big (L) name, but typically aren't informed on a lot of classical liberalism thought and history.

Classical liberalism is a large umbrella and incorporates principles from the left and right. It's defining characteristic is eschewing authoritarianism.

We're not in a recession. Yet. Google and Facebook are ahead of the curve and mostly using the headlines to shake things up internally right now.

It does show that the billionaires are kind of enthusiastic though about the coming recession and economic pain being inflicted on the lower classes, and getting those uppity workers a bit more under control. They're not so worried about asset prices / stock prices / sales / etc and probably correctly assume that everything will rebound just fine for them.
Go on angel.co and filter for jobs in the Bay Area and you'll find roles around 250k base salary. 250k including bonuses and stock is far more common. This isn't just Bay Area btw, take a look at the contract market in London and there are multiple > 200k GBP roles (roughly 250k USD).
What's wrong with mocking HR? It's so easy to have a meritocracy rather than measuring the immutable characteristics of your employees...

I can't fathom how HR can justify selective racism without lawsuits galore.

To highlight an inconsistency in a system isn't ignoring the system's other problems. If anything, it compliments a broader perspective rather than a narrow one. I don't think a lot of people here are suggesting that there aren't other forms of racism and sexism taking place.
I wonder how the absence of dealerships affects the right to repair? This becomes especially important with EVs as companies say they are too complex to be serviced by an individual or even in some cases by a anyone that's not an authorized party/dealership.
Trying to put mobile carbon capture systems on diesel trains seems absolutely foolish when electric trains exist. Just put up the damned wires, it will save money in the long run.
The SSI/DID initiatives of w3c seem to do pretty well.

Filecoin looks good too.

Industries like porn should also profit from a system that doesn't allow for chargebacks. Porn was a huge driver in the past.
There are several very interesting books about this, yes. Air disasters are fascinating to read about.
Where does the interest come from?
They just scaled up by giving access to an additional 1mil users. Be patient… it’s not like it’s free or trivial to run something like this.
The problem is that crypto doesn't really solve those problems either. As the article says far more eloquently.

I understand that you are saying you were burned by a central authority. But the truth is that the only way to get everything to work is with a central authority. The article gives examples of crypto being fully reliant on central authorities, for instance.

Everything being done by crypto today could be done better by trusted companies putting together a semi-open peering arrangement that both doesn't waste pointless electricity and that doesn't allow just any potentially hostile actor join the group of authorized peers.
“Nobody gets fired for using aws” is pretty big now a days. We use GCP but if they have an issue and it bubbles down to me nobody bats an eye when I say the magical cloud man made ut oh whoopsie and it wasn’t me.
to answer your other question, diffusion generative models recently became big. you can read up on them if you want.
It would appear that although Capitalism has a solution, Capital and Capitalists don't like that solution (effluent taxes).
where? where can i get one?
Swapping to any other currency provides the same benefits. USD or Euros have frequently been used in place of several nations currency for decades.

As such it’s not a crypto specific benefit.
> but where are you going to put the electricity?

Bring back the tender[0], but fill it with batteries instead of coal. Or better yet, intermodal container shaped batteries that could be swapped for pure electric long distance trains.

Seems like the justification for group-based preference would have to be a well-defined final outcome, like socioeconomic improvement years post-graduation, than simply being representative of the population as a whole.
Starting up illustrator already takes a few minutes.
One of our projects uses 1 big server and indeed, everyone started putting everything on it (because it's powerful): the project itself, a bunch of corporate sites, a code review tool, and god knows what else. Last week we started having issues with the projects going down because something is overloading the system and they still can't find out what exactly without stopping services/moving them to a different machine (fortunately, it's internal corporate stuff, not user-facing systems). The main problem I've found with this setup is that random stuff can accumulate with time and then one tool/process/project/service going out of control can bring down the whole machine. If it's N small machines, there's greater isolation.
>Do we really want a new generation of people who think Unix was born perfect and cannot be improved upon?

Yes. "Perfect" may be debatable (what is "perfect" anyway?), but it has lasted over half a century so they must have done something well!
C'mon, haven't you seen the mistakes developers can do in real life?

This is plausibly a mistake.
To be fair, I can't get computer scientists to read any math books. But I don't think this is quite odd. The only people I know that go out and read math books are mostly (current or former) mathematicians or physicists (which a random sprinkling of others). I'm not sure it is exactly mathematicians faults that your third grade teacher impressed upon you that math is hard and useless.
It seems like the majority of the cost savings is due to skipping outsourcing and a company that pays local taxes and insurance.

The only times I've transferred dollars -> crypto -> transfer -> crypto -> foreign currency the costs were much higher than 3%, not to mention there was far more risk because you couldn't reverse the transactions if you fat fingers an amount or a recipient.
From a technical perspective, there has been a much larger adoption of diffusion models which make these types of generative art much more viable. There has also been breakthroughs in connecting images and text with models like CLIP. DALLE-2, Imagen, and a lot of other generative work are using these ideas to get even better results.
Never do anything your love for money. If you are intrinsically motivated to do something bringing external factors like money into it might ruin you motivation and love for the thing you had. High chance of burn out.

Find work that has great synergy with your hobbies/interest but is not exactly the same. Either requiring similar skill or being the the same or related field. That way they will fuel each other.

And most importantly, don't try to find meaning in your work (except maybe if you work in non-market driven employments like education/health care but sill beware). That is something a simple farmer that directly interacts with his produce might have experienced but modern capitalism it way too alienating for that to work. Most of the time you wont be even able to tell if you individual output makes any difference and if so for better for worse.

Find meaning outside work.
Just like to thank Backblaze for posting this time and time again. Putting out hard numbers like this instead of some editorialized blog is the best advertising you can do to reach tech savvy people.

The author somehow misses the number one use case of crypto: as a currency. You can buy things with Bitcoin right now. Therefore each bitcoin has a value. You can move bitcoins around to move value around. Simple as that.

The only problem is that, yes, it is indeed early. I don't know why the author brings up the App Store, as if both Bitcoin and the iPhone App Store are even remotely comparable just because they came out in the same year. You can't expect to upend the global financial system in less than 15 years, give it some time. People are hitting the limits of international banking and quickly moving to crypto as an alternative. And as the hyperconnected cryptobro kids today become wealthy millionaires in a few decades, I expect a lot of value to be stored internationally in crypto.
