Also have large hands! I have had issues with screws - especially when my case was under my desk and I was trying to swap out a GPU like that. Though in the building process, where I place the case on a table or counter, I have a lot less issues with the screws! (And none of those issues involved sharp edges!)
> Why do we consider communication faster than the speed of light so unbreakable?

Because it's the definition of the simulator we inhabit. c isn't some random thing to do with light that we observe and find curious, it's literally the nature of the universe. The universe is "a place where the speed you can propagate information is : c". The speed of light follows from that, not the other way around.

So if that's breakable, then we made some very big invalid assumptions over the past 200 years.

Also, it's questionable that "we didn't think humans could fly through the air". Obviously some people did think that was possible, otherwise they wouldn't have tried to do so. We had birds and bats as existence proofs too. And balloons.
Really? For me it had the opposite effect. It reads to me that the level of prescription is unnecessary and scary.

There's those extremes I'm talking about. No such user could possibly be anything else right?
It's not about biases. Using immutability is not just some personal preference. It's common knowledge that mutability everywhere is a bad practice. That's why there's a trend toward immutability by default in newer languages.

> It obviously is a major crisis in Europe and has many ramifications, if all your neighbours mysteriously die in the same week it won't affect you personally but you surely will feel down or threatened.

This premise relies on a mysterious, unknown cause though. It's more like your neighbors fighting your other neighbors.
I guess that I'm expecting everyone to know Apple's reputation, but that's definitely not the case, especially outside of tech circles; I would expect someone on this site to not be surprised with repairability & Apple.

I think sharing stories is fine, but the poster seemed to be going much further than that by seemingly trying to get revenge on Apple, which is a strange thing to do.

Statistical ownership data would be awesome. Like a graph saying that if you expect the device to last x years you should expect y costs in repairs. That could even be a selling point for tech protection plans like Apple Care.
As a counterpoint, in my hometown there's a grassroots effort to collect and monitor the air quality because no one, including the feds, will. The data can be appreciated without dogmatism.

My personal bias here would be to say, "lowering the cost of technology, civic organization (whatever form that might take), empowering the individual, and removing barriers to entry wins again."

You’ve seen a few TVs do this? What’s an example so that I may see it for myself?
I am one of those people. I'm more willing to accept a more stringent requirement if I also perceive it as fair and can see an actual improvement in something.

A restriction is fair for instance if it draws a cost/benefit line, and just bans all things on the wrong side of that line. Even if I don't agree, the conversation is at least around where to draw the line, and not on absurdities.

Banning plastic straws without banning plastic cups is mostly useless and inconvenient.
I was handling all my own meals except dinner and had a house key at around the same age in the US. I'm not sure how drastically things have changed in the ensuing 20 years, but I still see kids walking and playing without adults, so I suspect it's both exaggerated and regional or class-based.
Can we talk about how google monetizes (weaponizes) this sales relationship? They force it on you as "common sense" but it makes them A LOT of money.

Ultimately its as bad as car dealerships to require a special connection to get basic tasks completed.
I do think your original text was clear enough that I was able to figure out what you meant, but it would have been a lot clearer if it explicitly mentioned spreading a lump-sum expense across multiple people rather than only mentioning spreading a lump-sum expense over a multiple time periods.

By only mentioning the time-series of payments, it took me more than a single read to understand and I could easily see someone genuinely misunderstanding your point.
The target audience for my comments are the hundreds of people reading and not commenting. If you're casually reading the comments, without a foil of reasonability, I think it's easy to get sucked into implicitly accepting the premises of the zealots frothing at the mouth in the comments.

Alcohol ban makes a lot of sense.... alcohol has been proven scientifically to adversely harm humans in any amount.
I’ve seen that article before.

Cable never marketed itself as being ad free

> Although cable television was never conceived of as television without commercial interruption…

HBO has always been a premium add on to basic cable. Just like it is today and it still doesn’t have ads.

> But scores of big companies, including General Foods, American Express, Procter & Gamble and Pepsico, are already cable advertisers, along with innumerable used-car dealers and other local businesses that can afford cable's relatively low rates.

> Many cable channels have yet to begin operating, and those now running commercials, such as Ted Turner's 24-hour Cable News Network or U.S.A. Network's ''You'' program for women, carry 30-second and one-minute commercials that are a standard feature of regular television.
I've noticed that Alcohol changes how I process the sensation of hunger. It makes it a much sharper feeling, more insistent.
I’d just put the surveilled one in a drawer.

“I’m extremely happy with the progress you made this month, but HR says you worked zero hours this week.”

“I couldn’t figure out how to use the corporate laptop. Sorry about that.”
The science has been in a long time that no amount of alcohol is healthy. Despite overwhelming experimental, historical and anecdotal evidence, 60% of Americans drink ~4 drinks per week - which luckily is on the decline.

Something is seriously wrong with humanity if poisoning ourselves regularly to dissociate with reality remains this popular as a core social component. People will point to all of the supposed "social lubricant" benefits etc... of drinking culture, but I'm not convinced it's anything but a band-aid on some combination of social anxiety and existential dread.

I fully support anyone doing whatever they like with their body, but we should be able to at least acknowledge that any alcohol in any amount is self destructive.

I say this as a former Beer and Whiskey nerd by the way.
What specifically is BS in the video? Could you be specific?
And you think you giving them CPR would not do even more damage (good luck holding them still while pumping their hearth through their ribs)? Obviously if you see them take some big hit treat them with that possibility but if you see some random person passed on the street making sure their brain is receiving oxygen is always the first priority. (after making sure the patient is in a safe place so remove them from a burning building first etc.)

I’m pretty sure it’s a reflection of being powerless. Our whole society is a top-heavy gerontocracy. Teens don’t really have much agency. Social media addiction doesn’t help, I’m sure. But gone are the days when a teen could go off and take chances and find themselves. Every job is drug tested, every apartment requires a good credit score, every street corner has a camera. We already live in a police state.

FWIW: Talked about this article over breakfast with one of my three teens (two in middle school, one in high school). I find myself curious about research in urban areas vs. rural. Here in rural America, we do ok getting kids to turn out for sports, but when I speak with friends in urban areas they are mortified that we let our son play football + they spend a lot more money on competing via travel teams than many of us. Maybe that means more opportunity for their kids, but it adds a level of stress.

He confirmed that many of his friends do have access to social media... but I think we have to define that term. He is constantly interacting with a huge friend group - via chat on his phone. While I know there are risks and concerns, it's a big friend group that also play video games together. So sure, it is different than when we were kids on our bikes roaming the neighborhood, but there's still a tremendous amount of social interaction happening there.

My kids are a bit different... two of them were discussing American foreign policy on a sunny afternoon a few days ago. But, I sincerely think that kids are stressed out for reasons beyond just "social media." We have a number of undocumented persons in our community, and during the last administration, they were legitimately stressed out about whether they would get sent to a camp or sent back to a country they were too young to remember. I meet a lot of young kids questioning their sexuality, etc, who are legitimately very concerned about our national politics and what it means for them. Sure, our unemployment rate is very low, but kids are concerned about the cost of education and whether there will be good jobs available to them in the future. So - frankly, I think kids are stressed out by a lot of the same things as adults, but many may not have the adult support to guide them.
sounds like every mITX. My m.2 slot is on the back of my motherboard. That drive has been full for more than a year and I don't care enough to take apart my entire PC just to replace the damn thing. Going mITX was a mistake for me. I wanted to build a NAS and reuse parts from my mITX last year. Only thing I could salvage was the CPU and RAM. Now I have an old CPU on a new MB for my NAS and a newer CPU on my old mITX board for my main PC. SFF really limits your upgrade and reuse paths going forward. Limited PCI slots, limited SATA ports usually, limited RAM slots, the case is just too small and horrible to work with. Looks pretty sitting on a desk though.
You mean the social media sites that made every effort to suppress stories that reflected poorly on Democrats during the last election (and before)?

Anyone who trusts Big Tech, social media, or Late Night talk shows to give them factual information deserves to have their voting status revoked.

I'm joking, but I'm kinda not.
At this stage the word capatilism seems to be more a label to slap on something on does not like than a word that has meaning.

I came here to say the same, and to add that with a good case (I've a Fractal) there is plenty of room to work.

I'd go as far to claim that it's almost impossible to mis-assemble. Throw a bunch of computer parts on a bench and treat it like it's a jigsaw puzzle. You'll observe that it's much easier to assemble as a) there are many fewer parts and b) they can only go together the right way.

I built my new desktop four years ago and it's been purring along ever since. It runs near 24/7 and has all the local VMs involved in my life and work.
The author is calling out a failure mode of capitalism. The people producing the tools are pursuing capitalism, and the people adopting them likely have financial motivations to do so (stock plans, conflict of interests, etc…)

I'm torn on clawing the money back. I can think of 2-3 instances just off the top of my head where you could (legitimately) declare bankruptcy but the school shouldn't necessarily lose $50-100k because of that. Especially if nothing else about the current climate changes, all that will do is cause costs to rise even faster as the school just increases tuition to compensate.
A combination of pragmatism and hubris.

pragmatism: our best current theories about the universe suggest that the speed of light is a constant. Until someone proposes a theory with more explanatory power that suggests otherwise, we might as well do our work with the assumption that it's correct.

Hubris: our best theories are clearly not complete (see dark matter, conflicts between general relativity and quantum mechanics, and similar), yet we mostly treat them not as provisional theories subject to change, but as ironclad laws by which we may live our lives. Humans don't do well with uncertainty.

(Disclaimer: not everyone lives that way. As far as I can tell most who do have something like this combination of ideas in their heads.)
Sounds like you're depressed and automedicating. But alcohol will only make you more depressed in the long run.

I think that some people don't factor in the amount of their time it takes to buy a new computer and get it set up sufficiently so the old computer is no longer needed. In addition to the cost of a new computer and environmental concerns, also remember the value of your time.

That’s because the euro zone is a scam.

Rich countries in the north especially Germany put in place policies akin to dumping and were shielded from the effects it should have had on their money by the economic gap with the poorer countries in the south. Southern countries found themselves handicapped by an overvalued currency. Meanwhile politicians in the north refused any form of transfers and keep popularising the idea that southern countries are poorer because they lack discipline.

Ouch, this is a very bad situation. As a business owner of a SaaS offering myself this sounds like a nightmare (and we are on GCP).

We've unfortunately had a situation where a over-provisioned service account leaked.
It has, of course, been used to mine crypto by some malicious actor.
We've ramped up a very high six figure bill in just a few hours of this going unnoticed.
After reaching out to google, and a months long review process, the bill we've ramped up has been dropped. During the waiting period we have NOT paid any bill for the entire time. Granted: we've been told to not pay by the customer service, until the situation has been sorted out.

What I'm trying to say is: there's good and bad, at every major cloud provider.
Cure for hangover? Best cure is not drinking so much :)

The hangover is your body telling you you did something not entirely healthy. You might want to listen to it.

But if you must know: Drink water, that night, before going to bed. A good amount. Drink more water the morning after. A lot of your hangover is dehydration. Have a rich breakfast if you can eat it, or electrolytes (pedialyte etc) if you can't stomach the idea of eating.

But also, realize you've overdone it and learn something for the next time.
[Disclaimer: I work for a company that offers a Snowflake Cost Optimizer product]
We’re an open-source monitoring & alerting tool and many of our users were using it to set alerts on their warehousing (Snowflake) costs. The problem with Snowflake is particularly worse due to its lack of query level attribution of costs and no in-built features for monitoring or recommendations on improvements. We’re building a Snowflake Cost Optimizer (https://www.chaosgenius.io/snowflake-cost-optimizer.html) and are hearing the same feedback from our customers as the author mentions. Snowflake is definitely coming up with features towards better cost transparency but I wonder if it’s too little too late.
We've been drinking alcohol for 8000 years now so I wish you the best of luck on your crusade to show that it's "something wrong with humanity".
The 5th point in this article is what makes me end up using Electron most of the time.

As much as I love Tauri (and Wails), WebView requires to make sure the application renders exactly the same across all platforms. Sure, Electron comes with its downsides like the article rightfully points out. But having a UI that renders and behaves exactly the same on all platforms (thanks to the version locked Chromium bundled in the app) is really nice to have.

I wish there would be the possibility to bundle a renderer (maybe a more lightweight one?) with Tauri or Wails instead of using WebView.
Dioralites are really good. They usually taste terrible but they can really help with making you feel human again.
Looks like you're right. Any tools you know that do?
I've been using the same cloud gpu service as well for about 2 months. It's able to run on Manjaro installed through snap. The service picks up input pretty well, including audio from your mic, but like the author said it will depend on the speed of your internet connection. The audio/video resolution will adjust so sometimes it looks and sounds like a 480p youtube video. It has been very pleasant to use for a city-building game I enjoy playing. I'm more inclined to try other sim-like games since I don't have to worry about storage. It uses Steam and other game marketplace accounts to check if you own the games you want to play. It may not be good for multiplayer games like cs:go or dota; I've been disconnected from a match and since the game is running on cloud I'm still "connected" in-game appearing as afk.

Overall, I've been pleased with the service and plan to use it on a laptop for an upcoming vacation. Of course, nothing beats having a bare-metal GPU. I don't play as much as I used to anymore, so it's definitely a viable service for people who are sunsetting their interest in video games and do not want to pay for a gaming rig.
... and then it's an even bigger impediment to sharing responsibility for children, as you try to move seats around or make sure grandparents have duplicate equipment. Hard to spontaneously have another parent bring a kid home from school. We had to get special car seats to carpool with my sister, just so we could fit it all in.

These psychological safety burdens - and accompanying negotiations between caretakers - make it so hard to provide mutual aid. We're lucky to have found other parents with similar understandings, but the moralizing on safety makes it hard to even discuss.
There is a massive corpus of research on this that I think you’re unaware of. Start with the Snowden leaks and work your way back.

Since I can’t reply to below, the general approach of “I don’t know about this so it must not exist and I won’t research” is very backward if you’re in a PhD program.

I get what you’re getting at. Google just builds the technology, the rest is up to the users.

That said, re: Snowden, IC piggybacked off Google cookies and direct taps into Google infra (PRISM). Email, chat, videos, photos, stored data, file transfers, logins, all tracked.

The classic approach from tech until recently is what I said above - we just build it! That didn’t work well for the cigarette companies.

In other words, it is difficult to convince people that they are doing wrong/causing wrong when their research and pay is dependent on not believing they are.
let us know if you find a solution to social anxiety and especially existential dread
I consider the hours worked as part of compensation. It's something to be discussed during the negotiation phase. The company decides the structure of the hiring process. If you don't want to waste time, nothing stops you from moving the negotiation phase to the very start of the hiring process. I would personally prefer it if you did that as well. As an applicant it seems very awkward and unprofessional to come in and try to negotiate right from the start unless the company makes it clear that is what they want.
When Orwell wrote 1984 with it's constant surveillance, he had "late-stage capitalism" in mind? Are you saying that totalitarian governments wouldn't have made use of technological innovation to spy on their citizens, including worker output?
It's not just Google cloud that's the problem here. It's using somebody else's computer. Now that you've learned your lesson, you need to run out and buy a nice Threadripper and I guarantee it will run your whole workload eith enough juice to spare so when you're pulling 1 million paying visitors per day or whatever you'll still be able to run your whole operation on one machine. You may have to fire your "responsive" front end people but they'll kill your whole business sooner or later anyhow.

This is anecdotal and not proven scientifically.

In my younger days I drank heavily and was often in hangover territory the next morning. As I ate during drinking the previous day I normally had an active culture yogurt with the food - eg spicy chicken with a cup of active culture yogurt. I found that it definitely lessened the severity of the hangover.
