Very cool. It's easy to see how you derived the name (VOice CODER) but the name is really confusing, since a vocoder (VOice enCODER) is something that makes your voice sound like the intro to Mr. Roboto, or for more serious uses such as voice audio compression and encryption.

And it's entirely possible you've used an actual vocoder to create this.

> the Smalltalk business pivoted into Java

Interestingly OTI (which was purchased by IBM in 1996 and did all the Smalltalk/Visual Age and later Eclipse) had a VM that could run both Smalltalk and Java bytecode:

in order to accomodate Java execution, OTI developed what was called the UVM (or Universal Virtual Machine) whcih could execute both Smalltalk and Java byte-codes, and used Smalltalk to implement the Java primitive functions which were implemented in C in the Sun JVM.

> If we're lucky, that means a federated, open, mostly-ad-and-suggestion-free open source social media ...

It's never going to happen.

Federation is a solution to a problem no one actually cares about. Obviously "no one" here is somewhat hyperbolic but so few people actaully care about this you may as well round it to zero.

We haven't had an at-scale federated network since POTS (and, by extension, SMS). That's a historical artifact. And look at all the problems POTS/SMS has with spam, caller impersonation, robocalls, etc. Now part of that is due to these being open addressable networks rather than the opt-in networking that has become dominant now.

But to say that's th eonly reason would be to miss the point that any federated systems will always have bad actors.

In the 2000s we had XMPP as an effort to make IM services interoperable. Remember how Google got flak for removing the ability to talk to non-Google services? That was mostly misplaced because the reason it was removed was that Microsoft allowed its IM users to talk to Google Chat but not the reverse.

Spam exists on POTS/SMS largely because smaller exchanges "launder" bad traffic with good traffic (and charge higher rates for it) to make it harder to filter or even identify who the bad actors are.

As for open? There's really no incentive for this except from the "losers" (in the market).
>I think there's truly a place for a hyper pared down "global phone book" type of application.

We have this: Facebook. At least that's what I use it for. I keep a list of most of my friends there, and use it to chat with many of them, including video chat. I don't post anything, ever, and almost never look at anyone else's posts. It's just a glorified "friend phone book and chat app".
That's not one button. Google can provide the button.

If I’m reading you right, you’re talking about something like Epic’s “sticky note” system, where providers can leave general comments about a patient not associated with specific encounter? That’s a really good question - and one I’d have to leave up to an attorney. My naive guess would be that the patient’s right to access those may depend on whether or not a practice is using them to store health information, or just general non-medical tidbits (I believe some orgs tell staff not to keep any PHI in them as a matter of policy).
> where they downloading e-books with the device 2g connection from there?

Yes. The nearest village (30 min walk) had cell towers when I was last there 7 years ago. I recall having surprisingly fantastic cell service in the entire Khumbu region.
That is really rare, especially for mushrooms and baby woodrose. We approve meds with far higher rates of serious side effects.
As far as I understand from other comments, they will have the option to re-apply of they achieve these speeds sometime before 2028.

We'll have to see. It's important to note that so far they've been able to use whatever launch capacity they want to increase the constellation, but by 2024 they will have to start using a good portion of their launch capacity to re-build it, since the satellites launched today will have fallen down by then.

If they manage to launch Starship by then (not sure if that's looking likely or not), maybe they will have extra capacity to be able to both replace satellites and expand the constellation.

> There's no longer a tax on repatriated earnings (they're exempted from corporate income)

Yes and no. What you're saying is partially correct. For pre-TCJA deferred foreign income there was tax holiday (ie a one-time low rate), just as there was in 2004. This tax could be paid over 8 years as well (eg Apple is doing this).

For future income, repatriation is technically exempted from income but there is a minimum tax on income in tax havens that probably incentivizes companies in future to shift profits overseas. The more money you do this with the lower the effective tax rate you pay, as I understand it.

So, you will still have an incentive against repatriation because it reduces the effectiveness of your overall profit shifting.

So borrowing in the US to avoid repatriation is still relevant but less so thanks to both the lower corporate tax rate of 21%, the tax-hoiday rate still being higher than the cost of borrowing and repatriation still increasing overall tax rate. This is less relevant currently with higher interest rates, of course.

> ... if you can pay the taxes on the proverbial family farm over 10-30 years or when the property is sold, that might be more palletable

I'm all for carving out palatable exceptions such as deferring tax liabiilities for seniors, not hitting heirs with an immediate tax bill and effectively amortizing tax liabilities over many years in the case of farms. Fine.

What I am against is giving massive tax breaks to the likes of Disney and truly wealthy California landholders because of seniors or family farms. You can separate these issues.

> ... capital losses refundable or at least add carry-back

Capital losses (both long and short term) can already be carried forward. What you're suggesting by a carry-back I assume means to apply a loss against a paper profit in a previous year. Fine with me.

> ... people who were invested into a crash are going to be pretty grumpy

We've already had this kind of problem with the AMT. I honestly don't know the current state of the AMT but in previous years (eg during the dot-com bust) we had paper who through exercising options and paying a lot of tax because of AMT then having no way to resolve that when the stock crashed. I'm fine with making sure this doesn't happen either.

> Paying taxes on unrealized gains as of Dec 31 in April when the market is in the toliet isn't palatable either.

I get this. We have numerous examples of deferring tax liabilities (eg until death, due to hardship) so this seems like an eminently solvable problem.

Read it again. (Wikipedia is correct)

Actually to save everyone else's time I'll explain the actual real world implications:

The "big 4" (over x customers) must implement "best effort" blocking, which varies between network (it's all useless because DNS is easy and satisfied the law), however unlike the USA, the UK has 100s if not 1000s of ISPs who are not subject to said regulation and can do what they want. This is because in the UK we do not stomp on competition which means independent ISPs are allowed to exist and pay the same price as everyone else for the same access.

While I'm here, there has never and never will be a "firewall" - the free market design of UK telecoms does not allow it to happen and there are no central points to filter, anyone who disagrees otherwise is a genuine moron or willfully ignorant, it doesn't matter the result is the same, since the reality trump's opinion.

If you'd like to discuss these things in real detail I have contact ability so message me instead of absolute nonsense on here - there is no excuse to be ignorant we live in an informational society.
I think this line of research is necessary in helping us (society) understand ourselves better. Although I've not been poor myself, the ongoing mental stress/strain when met with challenges in which I feel I stand a high chance of failure (e.g. job interviews when I was a new graduate, finding a PhD advisor, submitting first paper for publication) has led me to making poor diet, exercise, and sleep decisions. I would imagine that the poor are faced with an even greater amount of stress in terms of food security, relationship strain, and being cast in a negative light by people around them; making it, as you put it, physiologically harder to make good decisions.

Next question. :)
Some scholars argue that the famines in Africa toward the end of the 20th century were more than anything else a result of the collapse of economically sustainable local agriculture resulting from rapid industrialization and cheap imported grains. Food became so cheap that farms couldn't produce enough income as going concerns; people quit farming en masse. Populations in countries with little local agriculture remaining became exceptionally vulnerable and susceptible to price and distribution shocks, such as from monetary or military conflict stressors.

Many other countries have historically avoided famine in part because their political systems depended upon and heavily favored local agricultural interests--not the laborers, but specifically the financial security and opportunities of the agricultural land-owning classes. And when and where they didn't, e.g., Ireland in the late 19th century or China in the mid-20th century, things played out in predictable fashion.

Such emphasis doesn't create an optimal state of affairs for maximizing overall wealth and economic equality, but it's one way, however primitive, to buffer volatility and minimize the chances of catastrophic food failure; and helps explain why such seemingly unfair socio-political favoritism, often with seemingly perverse side effects, persists today, let alone in the 1930s.
The only way to stay 'Top Dog' is never to show others that you're not.

Unfortunately for the US the only way to remain 'Top Dog' is a war that the US can't win against the 'Real Top Dog', which is China. Maybe if the US had started that war three or more years ago, the US might have won. It's now too late for that.

First time I saw geohashing. Can't this result in some lopsided squares? The way it is described has a standard rectangle projection. But those are inaccurate due to the earth being spherical. So the areas on top and bottom will be much larger.

To be fair I've heard of most of these in my career but they are fairly specialized. If you are conducting a system design interview and expecting the candidate to know one of these I'd suspect there is a bit of bias there (unless that is their area of study).
>I consider myself healthier, more active and more resilient than a lot of people in their early 40's

then I suggest you keep doing what you're doing because life isn't lived in the aggregate, and if your behavior works for you there's nothing wrong with it. If your schedule is liberating to you throwing that away for a 0.1% chance of whatever complication probably isn't worth it, as long as you're aware of the trade-offs.

PoW as used in bitcoin and ethereum is a bit different. It's designed to reduce the communication needed between nodes.

Each block is published with a hash which is based on all the previous blocks plus its own data. All participants are racing to solve a puzzle: basically a big guessing game where the first to guess the winning number gets to make the next block. The game is to find a number which when combined with the previous hash and put through an expensive hash function comes up with a result which has a specific number of binary zeros at the end. Since hashes are one way functions the only way to solve the problem is for everyone to guess until the solution is found.

The first participant to find the solution gets to create the new block. They also check the last few blocks to see if anyone's been cheating by adding fraudulent transactions. If fraud is detected they just ignore those nefarious blocks like they never happened.

The algorithm scales with the number of participants by automatically making the "difficulty" higher by changing the size of the pattern that needs to be matched.
I wasn't aware of the problems with Tesla's statistics before.

I find it of an accusation that you say I've a "massive assumption made without evidence". The "evidence" I have is the data from Tesla itself, which states that FSD is better than a person, so I reduced that to say "as good".

The "problems with Tesla's data" as pointed out in the ars technica article doesn't make a comparison to an average driver, or give details on the number of miles driven per accident, etc etc

So, how are we to know where a regular human driver falls on the spectrum.

The various TSRs and application switching tricks on the PC that had their heyday just before Windows came down were amazing - so many applications had been made to run in low-memory systems that 512k or even 1MB (UMB!) was quite a bit.

I had a HP Palmtop that was greased to the skids with things like that, quite a powerful device. Even the modern iPhone doesn't quite do app switching as well, to be honest (the apps are often just reloading).

Didn’t have time to read other comments, but based on anecdotal experience I’d say the interpersonal connections have migrated into the private corners of chat via WhatsApp, Meta apps’ chat, or snap (highly dependent on age and location).

I’d add on to the idea of social media is over by saying the age of social networking in public is going through a rethink (or is just over for a while).

And as much as one wants to take it as a turn towards the networks becoming an ad machine and blame it on networks themselves, I’d also say it’s a human thing. The moment a platform gains escape velocity and starts growing, we immediately see the influencers, hustlers, and businesses approach it with a “grow your brand and audience” mentality. This eventually skews the network towards serving them because they actually bring money and shortly after, tadaaaa. It’s an ad machine laid on top of a content network rather than a social network.

Chats don’t suffer from this so in my experience, that’s where “social” networks are going for now. I’ll hold my breath on federated networks being the next step.

It's not about making the money, it's about what you spend it on. If 100$ is a significant amount you're not going to spend it on a frivolous purchase, you'll spend it on the absolute necessities. And if you do want to make a purchase purely because it makes you happy, you're going to agonize over it and feel guilty for a long while.

> Social networks always should have been used to meet people OUTSIDE of screens, for discovering other people and things.

The commercial nature of social media is that there's a perverse incentive to keep people attached to the app or site rather than encourage them to leave the app for physical face to face meetings.

I think the problem is social media in general. As an alternative, a friend of mine recently invited me to a "IT nerds social group" that meets every few weeks at a local pub. There's no agenda other than spending time with like minded people. We have dinner, a few drinks, talk about random stuff, then go home. Sometimes, members will organise between them to meet up for lunch, dinner, or board games.

People are invited by group members if a member thinks they fit the group. The entire thing is a list of email addresses and a regular calendar invites. There's no platform to monetise, no chat groups, no special software.

It's honestly been better than any IT related meetup I've been to.
Apple explicitly does this with Apple Arcade, Apple TV, has done so with podcasts and albums in its music store.
