Given the complexities involved in such an endeavor, I'm still confident in my assessment, especially when confronted with a one-liner just throwing a large number against the wall. If Microsoft couldn't get a mobile OS off the ground, despite trying, I don't see what the opportunity size has anything to do with it. Focusing on (even casual) gamers with specialized hardware works for a gaming-focused company, whereas a general-purpose device would not. Compare Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck. Strictly speaking this is part of mobile gaming, with significantly higher margins.

Well said. The only place where that doesn’t hold (in my experience) is local government and community events. I try my best to advocate for open alternatives, but many non-technical people just don’t understand the problem with closed ecosystems like Facebook and Twitter.

I do agree with your core point, though: it’s all FOMO, and you can work around everything after you realize that the walled gardens are abusive and not worth your time. I do feel for folks who don’t have good alternatives, though — like families who struggle to find out about school events because they’re only distributed on Facebook. But only by continually insisting that others abstain from walled gardens will we eventually tear the walls down. So it goes; some suffering is inevitable.
These aren’t being announced at the edge. They’re appearing in traceroute responses, and some are directly reachable from inside the AS, which means they’re appearing in the IGP. Announcing networks in this range to peers would be an huge no-no.

You can’t just use any IP: some are truly special (e.g. the multicast range) and 240/4 is still treated as invalid by many currently deployed IP stacks in their off-the-shelf configuration. Getting away with this only works at the kind of integration scale where you’re smelting your own copper, so to speak.
> FWIW, I've never actually heard anyone complain about state taxes in California or consider moving because of them.

Howdy! Nice you meet you!

Yes, there were other factors (like general cost of living, the more interesting weather, and me liking guns and not liking California's policies regarding them), but the reduction in income taxes was indeed a motivator for me hopping the California/Nevada border.

>In effect, we are shifting complexity from end-developers to library developers. This places a huge burden on us to be experts with how typescript works.

Interesting, I had never thought of this tension, but I think I disagree with the author and think this is a good tradeoff.
We shouldn't assume all developers are library developers, most beginner developers for example don't write libraries or shouldn't. I think it's actually good to force competence in the library author domain (within reason), since they can abstract away this pesky complexity (the point of any good library).

I like this new mental model, but I still agree with the author that typescript is too hard to work with and developer experience with it has a ways to go.

There isn't any hope for Linux on the smartphone, at least not Linux as actually intended in the talk.

A proper solution needs to run perfectly on users' existing hardware or it won't be run at all. There are a lot of old unupdated devices which should be ripe for the picking. The only solution close to matching the OSS community's resources is the Android kernel for all of its problems. The Linux smartphone community is way too ideological (far more than even RMS was back when OSS started) to do it - they won't use Android, and their hardware would also be way behind for similar reasons.

So irrelevance it is, unless some rich sugar daddy company decides to make an entrance to the smartphone market, but I don't see any plausible contenders.

There is alot more changes then just an expanded space with ipv6

So while you may have a similar problem it would be FAR FAR FAR FAR easier for organizations to adopt an addressing system that works EXACTLY the same as ipv4 just with a larger address space

then all the other "improvements" they are forcing down everyone network (unwanted) in with ipv6

ipv6 spec caused all the problems by biting off more than what was needed to solve the problem.

AWS has built in ability to alert of log queries. Can even do fancy stuff like parsing JSON values and aggregating them.
From your first source; The combination of a mismanaged economy plus an aging population has meant that the NHS spend is 50BN less than projected but is a now a larger share of GDP compared to other EU economies because the UK economy has performed so badly compared to the rest of the EU. Productivity has flatlined while people bought more and more expensive houses of each other on credit. My theory is that the conservatives have fucked the economy by being too tight fisted with public sector pay causing a drop in disposable income for about 1/4 of UK workers leading to lower spend in small businesses like pubs and hairdressers etc which has caused 10 years of general stagnation.

Yeah, reduced likelihood is my primary point.

It wasn't just about incentives. The disclosure also says that while Musk asked for [spam bot accounts / total active acccounts], Agrawal's response didn't really address the question and was pretty misleading [estimated spam bots among mDAU accounts / total mDAU accounts < 5%].

("Argawal's reasoning might appear a bit circular since, by definition, mDAU is more or less Twitter's best approximation of the set of accounts that aren't bots. And Agrawal is not exactly trying to help readers understand the bait-and-switch nature of his answer." - page 13/84)
Generally agree with most of what you're saying, it's the Tiebout model (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiebout_model).

> The model holds that if municipalities offered varying baskets of goods (government services) at a variety of prices (tax rates), that people with different personal valuations of these services and prices would move from one local community to another which maximizes their personal utility.

My only quip is that the marginal rate doesn't apply on every single dollar, so while it's true that after a certain dollar threshold, every incremental dollar is taxed at greater than half, your net effective rate remains well below half, for whatever that's worth.

There's somewhere from 1000-2000 health care workers that work in the Detroit area, but live on the Canadian side.

When the borders were sealed shut-ish, they were going back and forth regularly and not required to quarantine upon return at any point during COVID like most everyone else returning was.

Kinda defeated the purpose of trying to keep a virus out of Canada when you literally have Canadians caring for the most afflicted people regularly with relatively few restrictions upon return.

Not if the tax is specifically on the unimproved value of land (i.e. property value minus buildings or other improvements). Landlords are already charging as much in rent as they can get away with; raising rent even further would increase vacancies - and a land value tax would directly penalize keeping units vacant.
This is insightful.

Would the author do these things absent the post-hoc moralizing?

Maybe we are seeing what it looks like when we concoct narratives to order our life, and it hits a bit too close to home. After all, how coincidental is it that the thing that brings ultimate fulfillment (career) is also the thing that we’ve been told all our life to put so much into.

All these expenses (plus a profit margin) are built into the rent, of course.

Two ways the owner handles them: Either they have enough money saved that they can absorb the spikes in cost, or, they contract some maintenance plan they have to pay every month but smooths out the costs to avoid surprises.

Yes. Most people see urban and imagine at least a 2nd or 3rd tier city in terms of population. Not a 5K person town that may or may not be within a not too long a drive of some sort of population center.

Urban in the sense of "don't need to own a car" is a much smaller slice--especially if you aren't adjusting your expectations.

On Windows the first thing I always do is turn off hibernation.

I'm a little surprised that while using language models for generating text is suggested, there's no suggestion at using other ways to parse input. It feels like there is some much more advanced technology here that could be put to use.

There's a certain danger to letting the AI "find" the answer, that is you are trying to find an overlap between what the user entered and the options that are available in a situation, and since the program can enumerate the options it might find solutions that the user didn't _really_ identify. But if you are comfortable with a game that might err on the side of being easy... at least I would prefer that, as I tend to find IF too frustrating to play because it's like I'm trying to get in the author's head and figure out what they want me to type.

It would be interesting to think about how GPT-3/etc can be used to generate stable non-hallucinatory descriptions. It could solve some of the combinatorial problems of state and generating descriptions, and perhaps even raise interesting and unplanned events. But to do that you'd almost have to parse the results and then incorporate them into the world (or reject the results and regenerate). That's... actually how a lot of Inform works, so maybe it's a real option? It seems particularly interesting for NPCs, where perhaps you could use a language model for responding but _also_ allow for the model to suggestion NPC actions. By parsing them similar to how you parse player input you can keep the NPCs from being able to do impossible things (a big problem in AI Dungeon) but allow them to attempt actions. Then inform becomes the stable model of the world in which both players and bots are doing things. (This idea actually has me kind of excited...)
These are being used as link addresses, they probably aren't even routable within Amazon's network. They probably want the link addresses to be globally unique so it simplifies management or so traceroute reverse lookup is easier (e.g. to pinpoint traffic loss). They probably ran out of the other RFC3330 usual suspects or something.

I wouldn't read too much into it. If they are using it in a way that will break if 240/8 is assigned, I'm sure they will fix it quickly.
In the IF genre, how popular is Inform? Is it used to write most games? Some? Just curious as I enjoy the occasional IF game.
Well, it's not that simple.

FreeBSD has some contribution from businesses like Netflix and Nginx and those are very welcome, but they have nothing to do with desktop usage. Those have deadlines and budgets, features get implemented and tested. That's why FreeBSD has superb network stack, good NUMA support, files from disk to nic go brrr. That's why the move to OpenZFS was so fast.

Then, they're contributions without company backing it. This is where desktop feature live. That's why FreeBSD's Wi-Fi stack is stuck on 802.11g - no company depends on this. GPU drivers stuck at Linux 5.4 level - no company cares about it[1]. Those get discussed to death - there is no deadline, no money.

Note, that solution to graphics card driver is to use Linux's drivers, so they don't shy about GPL. However, FreeBSD folks LOVE to bikeshed and polish things. This is why PR to port linux 5.11 drm was open when 5.11 was already EoL for an entire year. Instead of "just" porting 5.11, they decided to refactor how things are done. There are like 3 people working on that PR. It still not merged and not even in review yet.

My Pinephone has all those features except the dual SIM card tray, and the battery’s capacity is rated 2,800mAh / typical 3,000mAh. The fact that it can burn through that in as little as an hour if held just right (with max brightness, volume, and load on the GPU, CPU, RAM, and separate modem CPU with the default nonfree, inefficient firmware; and not using the separately sold keyboard case with 6,000 more mAh) is a great incentive to limit its addictive effects.
Was actually also debating recently between the thinkpad and the dell - ended up based on cost with the XPS 15 - any other general tips or big gotchas running linux on it?
Unfortunately this does not have the option that I would like to see.

The perfect new Apple phone would be one that serves the cheap-ass bastard market or the market for people who aren't interested in carrying a computer in their pocket.

I present to you all the concept for a simple Apple flip phone (iFlipper). It does all the basic communications functions - text, HD single front and rear camera, voice calls and recording - has a long-life replaceable battery, basic keyboard, and a 2"x3" (50mm x 76 mm) HD screen. With this phone they could own the market for cheap, durable phones that can serve as company-issued phones for employees who need to stay connected but don't need to dink around with computing anything on their phones. Basic apps would allow time tracking, location tracking, text and pdf document reading and editing, simple spreadsheet creation and updating for customer invoicing, and note-taking and appointment management apps.

Some of that ends up sounding like a computer but compared to all the things you can do with a normal smart phone, we can dumb things down and still have great phones with broad market appeal.

You could even call them iDumb if you like.

May I ask, how fast are the exits if I was to invest in India companies?

One thing that turned me off from US venture capital was the culture of delaying exits to the stock market, compared to the 90s when Microsoft/Netscape/Amazon all IPO'd at like $30 million market caps and rallied and there was so much upside and liquidity. Is there a culture like that in India right now, or something similar?

I really like how the Matic/Polygon team achieved "unicorn" status while in India and stayed in the scene (I heard they moved to UAE since). I don't care that its crypto, I care that its tech and moving fast.

Is the action just in Bangalore or is it all over or a few other tech hubs?

I have little interest in discussing drone swarms (so does the article to be fair - a good two thirds are strictly about drones which could as well be by themselves) but this statement is simply untrue.

It’s highly likely that a large number of sea skimming missiles would defeat a carrier group. So would a submarine intelligently positioned. The ability of a group to counter a strike from high altitude is also very questionable and let’s not mention the very real anti-ship ballistic missiles.

Carriers really are a technology of the past for symmetric conflicts.
