He has a series of reasons he doesn't buy the Green New Deal. I know he must, because I'm a liberal, and I can rattle off a bunch of reasons. But he didn't state them. Instead, he just sort of acted like everyone knows what those reasons are. But lots of people don't. They don't because nobody will talk to them honestly and just lay out the problems. That's why I used the word.

This is part of a longstanding psychodrama of mine regarding late-period Rayinerism, though. You might just need to be read in on it.
This from someone who can’t comprehend why government mandated hard hat safety standards might be good. It all fits.
You’re missing a few key points here:

- Google most certainly can restrict how its products are used, in fact they do. Licensing comes with rules.

- Huawei is “free” to use AOSP, but can’t use Google’s APIs. See how far they got with that. No App Store and no Google APIs means a lot of apps won’t work. So you really need Google’s version unless you’re in China.
Yes, and here's hoping that trend continues and Google searches become extinct.
I thought I remembered that some vendor sort of hacked some big feature in for their first phone, but maybe it wasn’t folding screens. Could it have been the dual screen phones?

Sorry my memory is hazy too.

Bad comparison. You'd actually have to spend money to buy into a bet. I already owned the stocks. And further there's the reason. I didn't sell to cash out, I sold solely to stop feeling bad anytime a company's stock I owned did something questionable. It's very comparable, especially given the company in question. I even expected it to go up at the time. It would only have have to go up a few 2% to equal 40k.

There’s not really enough detail in your post to analyze. 10% of revenue could be nothing or it could be millions. Are you venture funded? What’s your burn rate and runway and how much did this cost in comparison?

I know plenty of companies who have gone 100% remote and spend part of the money they save on company retreats in order to get actual facetime with each other. It’s not clear if this applies to you or not.
Did your 95 computer use ML for photo post processing, or have 120hz display, or have 200 processes running at a time?

Phones are a zero-sum game.

Having features like headphone port and SD cards means you don't have space for other ones that are potentially more useful or popular.

And the fact that the market quietly moved on from headphone ports, SD cards etc. shows that it was the right call.

Physical SIM cards will unquestionably be the next to go.
This sounds like a content acquisition strategy. YouTube's embedded player isn't very good for the average branded website, as it shows a bunch of "related videos" and links that usually take the user to other content. This leads content creators away from using YouTube as a video CDN for their websites, because I guess YouTube would rather not be a freebie CDN. Except I guess for some strategic content like education, they seem to be OK serving as a CDN for the partner's website ("distraction free" I guess means YouTube's eating up the video distribution cost on those websites without making money), and this gives YouTube more video content into their library, that they can turn around and recommend in their apps
ScyllaDB would be much more interesting as a database of sea monsters. Not sure how to feel about couchdb or cockroachdb
Right. That was a real reason due to hardware issues, though the way they went about it was obviously received negatively (no notification and no option at first).

It wasn’t fake delays just to push hardware sales, which is what people have been accusing them of for 10+ years.
Classic old school problem would be your bug overwrites a pointer with garbage. And then whatever that points to, like OS code or data, gets trashed next. Your computer starts acting 'weird'. Worse changing random unrelated things would make the problem go away.

Huge time sink.
Sorry to hear that. I am going through the same too. (Its slightly different in my case. Not only me, but a few other senior colleagues are getting pushed out. It doesn't stop here. My manager is getting pushed out by the skip level. The skip level by his manger and it goes up several levels. Very strange situation to be in)
It does hurt, particularly if one is a top performer. I have stopped caring about it now. I am trying to do the bare minimum and learn a few technologies. Eventually I want to start something on my own. I know it's easier said than done.

My advice is, don't worry about it. These days, it's quite common in the industry. Start looking for a job. It's always a good idea to search when you are employed. Drop the idea of starting your own company, unless you are in a position to live off your net worth. Wish you the best. You will do well.
>> There are 2 classes of drugs I would not legalize

>> freedom of brain chemistry should also be an unalienable right

So, personally I completely agree with your first statement (now) about making the trap harder to get into. I also - as a matter of logic and principle - agree with your second statement.

The problem is that those two statements are completely contradictory. Doesn't the right to control your brain chemistry include the right to do meth? Even if it makes you psychotic? And even if your psychosis ends up violently harming others?

So I think it goes to whether we're willing to take some rights away to have a society that's sustainable and livable for a majority of people. And where to draw the line is something I think every thoughtful person needs to wrestle with. I certainly support the right to suicide, but not the right to do so in front of children, for example. If you take it from the principle of "everything is legal except that which harms others," at least there's a starting point for a logical position that doesn't contradict itself.
Midjourney is doing "secret sauce" post-processing to enhance the image returned from the model. SD just gives you back what the model spits out. That's how I understand it at least
I'm not. But my iPhone can't run an app as sophisticated as 3DSMax and it doesn't multitask to the same level as that 1995 machine.
> Living in Silicon Valley for eight years is what killed my faith in liberals

So there are several issues here. We, as tech people, when scaled up to be a significant demographic are in totality a pretty boring lot. There are an awful lot of tech people who view their stock options as a (defining) personality trait.

As for the label "liberal", it's not one I prefer because it's so often misunderstood and misused. For example, most conservatives and "liberals" can all be described as liberals in some sense. Also, "liberals" often mean "neoliberals".

"Progressive" or "leftist" tends to be cleaner teminology (IME) but there are relatively few of these in the US. It's why I say PINO (Progressive in Name Only) when referring to Bay Area "progressives" because in reality they're largely just neoliberals with a trendy veneer of social progressiveness over neoliberal values.

You might find such people self-describe as "socially liberal, fiscally conservative". This is a contradiction in terms. The slavish devotion to markets by neoliberalism is incompatible with social issues because capitalism here is a tool for exploitation and oppression.

Case in point: the very NIMBYism we're talking about. A free market purist will typically argue the free market is deciding on home values and that's most efficient when there's really no such thing as a free market. Zoning laws determine what you can build on land, the minimum lot size, etc. It's how most of the US bans anything other than single-family homes.

So NIMBYism constrains supply and increases property prices. Great for existing landowners (to some degree). Not so great for everyone else. Most notably the homelessness crisis which is a direct result of housing unaffordability and crime being a natural consequence of poverty.

> also see all the sanctuary cities that are complaining about how unfair it is that texas

Certain states (cough Texas cough) very much are in the business of "solving" their homelessness issues by simply shipping their problems to blue states and letting them pay for it. That's not really solving anything.
Yes, but your 1995 Windows NT 4.0 PC ran a 640x480 display at 60Hz and graphics compositing had, at best, one-bit transparency. It took 3 minutes to boot. Websites could bluescreen it with `<img src="con">`. A malicious attachment could trick your email client into deleting your whole hard drive.
You might have a point hidden behind the hostility, but it's not very convincing when you scare-quote the word science and claim that no amount of contradicting data would make you change your mind.

Is anything that comes in the form of an academic paper bullshit in your mind, or just the ones about plane air quality?

> How is it misleading? It's an estimate of the total results, it doesn't say it's going to display them

Ignoring how dumb of a technicality that is, why does that number suddenly shrink to 231 when you hit the last page?

Depending on what you're measuring, it's either "1,210,000,000" or "231". It's not both.

It's getting more locked down too. It used to be great for hackers, we could root the phone and do all sorts of things. Now there's stuff like hardware remote attestation getting in the way.

I'm thinking there's no point in owning an Android phone anymore. They aren't trustworthy devices, they offer increasingly less user freedom at the cost of a less refined experience. It seems like they're just gonna become worse iPhones, all the problems and none of the benefits.
Isn't collapse of entanglement itself useful information or is it not possible to notice it on the entangled particle?
I'm not sure, I'd have to see what the crypto/tls package does.

I would push back against the notion that something like that is "out of scope" for a "general-purpose user-friendly server". Caddy is far from user friendly if you utilize its low-level JSON configuration API, and at its core, Caddy is an extensible server platform. Even its HTTP app is a plugin, and it can be extended to do frankly anything if you want it to. Streaming video is a use case that I know several people use it for already.

> It’s a signal that your search is generic. You can refine down more and get some hint of that.

1. I doubt the common person infers this from the “X results” UI, especially considering this has a literal meaning in most other search interfaces where they encounter this terminology. In fact, you don’t even have to compare it to other services, as apparently on the next page of Google results the meaning changes to the traditional literal interpretation. So on page 1 it is a weird hint, but on page 2 it is a precise count?

2. Even if that’s the purpose of this blurb, I actually still don’t know how generic my query is. I have no idea what the average result count is, so I don’t know if this is a lot or not. It’s certainly not the case that my “successful queries” are ones where there’s exactly one result, or just a few. Ironically enough, it’s the opposite: I only get so few results when I’m searching for something that’s really hard to find and Google is giving me a couple wrong results (in fact Google uses “no good matches” language in this case). Usually when I find something quickly it is merely the top result of many results.

3. If the intent is to tell me my query is pretty generic, then just say that, don’t imply it through language that has a literal meaning in all other interfaces I encounter it.

Note that my gripe with this UI is not about whether it is misleading or not, but merely that if its intended purpose is to give me some hint as to how good my query is, it is not doing a good job of that.
When I took a job as RA advisor in college, I was told:

It seems many of the policies advocated for by “the woke” are motivated by such simplistic logic that they ultimately have the opposite effect of their intentions. We must balance grace with truth.

Of course in this case oberlin leadership just acted very poorly and there is no excuse.

Good engineering. Midjourney likely has a lot going on under the hood before your prompt actually gets to Stable Diffusion. As an example you can check out this research paper [0] which seeks to add prompt chaining to GPT-3 so you can "correct" it's outputs before it reaches back to the user. There's also no rule that states you can only make one call to SD, MJ likely bounces around a picture through a pipeline they've tuned to ensure your generated image looks more reasonable.

I know there is a quote (maybe Paul Graham?) about the sign of dotcom-era startups failing being when they bought Aeron chairs for the office. But to me, there's a big difference between putting money theoretically into the company's work environment, branding, physical presence, etc. even if a bit extravagant, and blowing through 10% of revenue on bacchanalian pursuits that don't leave you with anything of value whatsoever a week later. This raises serious concerns about whether the CEO is actually upholding their duty to shareholders. Someone else should have been involved in planning for something that expensive anyway.

Laws like that are in place, and they’re what ended McCarthyism.

One problem is they are very civilly focused. How much money did you lose? A corporate execute might be out millions, while the guy at MacDonalds might be out a few thousand.
I heard builders haven't used this, because they don't want to piss off the city, since they have to work with them again in the future and don't want a bad relationship.
I have found that having a local number when I go to a new place is a big convenience. Doing things like ordering takeaway food online or trying to contact a hotel or some other service is a lot easier when not having to deal with an international call.

Most of the travel eSIMs don't provide a local number (esim.net is the only one I can think of off the top of my head) but getting a SIM at a corner store after getting out of the airport always does.
It makes you understand how badly optimised software is today if you look at Microsoft teams on Windows at this moment taking up 6gb of ram.
All these little private schools charging $80k/year are part of a scam. The scam is the federal US government lending students a blank check with no underwriting as long as it is spent at an “accredited” school. And then the young adult emerges from the school with $100k and $200k and $300k of debt while only able to earn income of $60k to $80k per year.
Great comments and perspectives from a lot of people so far, but what I am curious about is - will there be an affiliate program for this kind of content? Specifically, programming related courses.

Quite a few really good coders and designers publish on YouTube, but their courses are hosted elsewhere and can be promoted as an affiliate.

This sounds like you will now have to talk to these creators directly and make direct “deals”, or worse - not be able to affiliate with their courses at all.
sysadmin used to be an actual title of a specific person responsible for managing the company's systems.

These days it's devops, but now there are no specific devops people and it's yet another task unrelated to engineering regularly thrown onto engineering's plate.

As I understand it, and I'm not a quantum physicist so I may be wrong, electrons lose energy when they go from the emitter into the base, because they're moving from N material where their energy is high into P material where it's low, which is why you have that 0.7-volt drop. But, by the same token, electrons that move from the base into the collector gain energy. It's just that they're regaining the energy they lost when they crossed into the base in the first place.

That is, the built-in potentials of the two diode junctions are in opposite directions, so in series combination those voltages mostly cancel out.

Since the base-emitter current heats up the junction, but the collector-emitter current doesn't (or rather it heats it up to the tune of 0.2 milliwatts per milliamp rather than 0.7) it stands to reason that this collector-base transition must be sucking heat out of the junction when the electrons cross it. And I think this is actually how thermoelectric generators (TEGs) and Peltier coolers made out of semiconductors like bismuth telluride work.

One problem with this account is that I think the band-bending diagram of a p–n junction has the electrons in the P material at a higher energy level, although I guess the relationship of the Fermi levels is opposite?
Hey you may not get this reply till much later but I'd love more info.

From my research in the last couple days, it only seems that PyTorch will work with AMD cards in combo with RocM, and RocM specifically isn't supporting older AMD gpus that you find on Mac laptops from just 2020.

But they were not not going to do it if you chose to use iCloud Photos. It’s basically a condition in the ToS, just like Google has one saying they can scan stuff in Google Photos.

It seems like hair-splitting to me. In both cases your photos are getting checked if you want to use the cloud storage service. Why is it worse to do on device (where it’s private) instead of on Google’s server (where you have to give them a plaintext copy of the photo)?

“Oh but Apple could change that with any update”. Couldn’t Google do the same with any update to Android, or even a Google Play Services update?
They're free to scan whatever they want on their computers. Not on mine. Especially not without my knowledge. I don't want anti-cheating and anti-malware software surveilling me either. Even the goddamn NSA has had data leaks because someone installed Kaspersky and it phoned home with a copy of some suspect data.
Android has been a mess for awhile and it isn’t getting better. A lot of bullshit is being done for “security” which will just end up recreating some of the sandboxed nightmares from iOS. The enforcement of Scoped Storage with Android 13 it going to essentially recreate the nightmare of file management that is iOS.

It’s really frustrating how Google has to slowly screw up damn near everything they create.

As a legal aid attorney practicing in California I have to say that unauthorized practice of the law is a major problem that we see the result of every day.

Well-intentioned individuals from, yes, a church or other nonprofit, regularly give bad advice about numerous types of issues including benefits and immigration that are time consuming or impossible to unwind even if you are a lawyer.

Even more problematic are for-profit non-licensed individuals advertising their legal services and expertise in similar areas for a price and giving wrong advice.

Forgive my skepticism for not believing tech that is claiming to solve all the million problems with the law. My assumption with any legal startup is that it's simply putting a robinhood vibe on more corporate exploitation.

Lastly, this seems like a great service and it sounds like it was cleared up, so what is he complaining about? Advertising "sue anyone" and then waving your arms and saying you're not a lawyer when the law comes after you... takes lack of self awareness to make a public post all about it.
They need to ban this shit. I need to be able to pickup a $30 flip phone and get it working with my sim. Honestly, Apple has added a lot if features I dislike and since I pretty much gave up on mobile privacy/security I have been preferring them because of nice ux/hardware but this is too much for me.

5G and wifi can track my movements through walls, "find my device" will use a satellite to pin me down if my account is pwned, businesses and employers are requiring these tracking devices. This shit is too messed up.

I am gonna be moving to laptops and flip phones completely (except now esim threatens them as well). Please let me know if there are non-profits that lobby and promote liberty and privacy preserving tech. That aside I will write lawmakers I guess what other way is there to enact laws that tell apple and pals to fuck off with that shit?
They are mostly getting faster in parallel, but barely faster sequentially. And the popular dynamic langs are ill suited to take advantage of this.
It would be fascinating to read a deep dive from you on your thoughts on all the thorny questions that always come up with respect to this.

You seem all in on the idea that Twitter should be stamping out nasty speech, and I can certainly respect that philosophy for a private company. I certainly wouldn't want to personally work to support the aforementioned shitheels. But I'm curious what you think of the broader ethics that people often bring up in these discussions. Is it bad that the contemporary "public square" is dominated by private companies that get to determine the rules? Should there be a real digital public square that isn't dominated by private companies? Could such a thing even work?

I dunno, maybe you're tired of this so uninterested in writing such a thing, but I feel like so many people act like the answers to this stuff are both obvious and easy to implement, and I know that's not true, and would be interested in the view from the front lines.
There are countries either not available through Airalo et al or their offering is simply not price competitive with local SIMs (and in some cases even roaming prices with home carriers). I went to New Caledonia recently and looked into a vast range of eSIM options. Most could not offer access in New Caledonia at all (as the local telco seem to be very selective to whom they have roaming agreements with) and the few that did (IRRC) was priced in such a way that buying a local SIM was significantly cheaper. I did a quick look at pricing for other countries where they did offer service and I must say I was not that impressed with the prices compared to what I get via local SIMs and in some cases roaming agreements through my home carrier was cheaper. YMMV especially when it comes to smaller countries and destinations not usually frequented by tourists.
