Another very concerning aspect: It's been a long time since it's widely known Google, Facebook and other bigtechs are collecting users' data and profiting from it. That "inspires" a huge number of other companies to try doing the same.

The dark sides of the practice are intentionally overlooked and, in places like entrepreneurship-related media, linkedin etc, one constantly reads praises to their ability to (allegedly) improve their services and offers based on predictions out of users data.

That worldview results in some "interesting phenomena" in my country. You go to a restaurant and they ask you your document ID, it's a "convenience" they offer you so that you don't need to worry if you loose your consumption card -- and now they know what, when and where you eat.

Insurance companies now offer their insurance policies and emergency info in a convenient app, so that you don't need to worry about carrying the docs in your car, and you help saving the planet by not wasting paper -- and now they know where you drive over, the speed and accelerations you usually employ etc.

Drugstores offer you discounts in exchange for your ID -- and now they know or can estimate extremely private info about you, like diseases you may be about to develop, the size of your weenie and god knows what. And I'm pretty sure this data is going to health insurance companies.
Does a startup deck necessary mean it is a presentation or slideshow?
Hey all,
I'm working on a SaaS application that will allow users to create startup plans and pitches (investor memos) in a written form. I want to call these different plans and pitches they create for their startup "Decks", however I am unsure whether a startup "deck" can be used to describe something that is text and widget-based and not necessarily a slideshow/presentation as in a pitch deck. So guess my question is, would it be OK to call a startup business plan for a deck even though it is not a slideshow?
$150B is a small amount of money that is otherwise just sitting there. Nobody is using it for anything and it's not growing.

It's generally a riskless thing thing to put your money in so it's not surprising that a few funds have gone big on it. They will fold the bet eventually.

> Blockchains have shown us that not only is it not required to own and manage servers, but that we do not even need to manage them.

You mean that Ethereum, Solana, and the many other PoS blockchains running on AWS, GCP, Hetzner, Azure servers, etc?

> server: your code on servers you own, possibly in your own data centers

If the majority of Ethereum, Solana and Cardano is run on someone else's data center such as AWS, GCP, Azure, why would you expect them to self-host and build their own data centers without using someone else's servers?
This seems similar as the point made in the well known essay I, Pencil (1958)[1]. You can buy a box of pencils in Staples for something like $0.10 apiece. But no individual, and probaly no small businesses would be capable of making some pencils from raw material (skipping even the step of harvesting the raw material).

If the problem of gaming the system could be gotten around, something very similar to internet comments could work - anyone can post a public review of anyone's work, in which case reputation would become the currency. Successfully criticizing someone with higher reputation than yourself would gain more status than praising them, but also come with more risk. It would also make it a lot less meaningful to get those 'not new ideas lol' comments that others on this thread have complained of.

I quite like the fact that whatever someone says on the internet now, the first comment is usually the best-argued counterpoint. It seems like a dynamic that could be brought to science quite well. I may not have the time to parse an entire paper in a field unfamiliar to me, but if I come across it and the top comment is 'there's a math error in table 6 that throws paragraph 4 into doubt', I can certainly verify that for myself. That sort of 'peer' review would make science much more accessible to the interested layperson.

They'd have no such roadblock these days.

Now there is a market for good sounding IEM's and headphones, Chinese brands such as Moondrop and HiFiMAN are dominating every price bracket.

Remember, oVirt an upstream virtualization project, the product we derive from it is Red Hat Virtualization (RHV). From the development and deployment side of things, Red Hat has chosen a direction that is primarily container based going into the future, betting a lot of this on OpenShift. This decision was made a few years ago before anything with Broadcom/VMware was occurring.

OpenShift Virtualization (based on KubeVirt) exists to provide a path of migration for "legacy" VM environments to containers, allowing admins to maintain one platform in a consistent manner (Kubernetes resources) while giving the teams that can to evolve their applications to containerized deployments.

I believe there are plans to get the management capabilities of RHV into OpenShift Virtualization, I'm not quite sure how far that's gotten. In terms of virtualization solutions from Red Hat, we have the following:

- KVM on RHEL. With the announcement of the RHV EOL, we removed the restrictions on how many guest VMs you can run simultaneously on RHEL. Note that this is different from the RHEL for Virtual Data Center (VDC) subscriptions we sell; it's just the removal of the contractual limitation, it doesn't entitle your guests.

- Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization: already discussed.

- Red Hat OpenStack: If you need to be running a broad private cloud platform that has a virtualization component.
Some valid info here, but also some utter absurdity, and they're mixed together without distinction or comment.

For example: with a completely straight face, the author constructs an "inverted hockey stick" from two data points on wild land mammal mass and predicts the complete extinction of wild land mammals in a matter of decades.

Recording everything doesn't actually erode privacy. What happens in your mind, body and soul is still yours forever. Your relationship to truth and <$DEITY> is only known to you and <$DEITY>, at the end of the day.

It's increasingly difficult to communicate what you actually mean to people.

People are emptying out their contextual and relational knowledge. They are leaving it in facebook profiles and politics. There's no need to understand someone's life context and how it might influence the meaning of their communications.

The more we seek to know in data, the more we see someone's data as their primary context in the world. We see less of what they mean as a person, or what they mean to tell us.

You could record every pore of my skin, every hair on my head, my bank account and my programming code. I'll go out and buy a camel, invest in the next crypto fad and move to africa, and you'll have no idea why.

Frankly some people are more private than ever, in plain sight, thanks to the Sauron eye (or eyes) of data harvesting.

If you 'brought back' privacy, our everyday view of people would require empathy and relating to the person, so that you understand what's different about them. People would make their direction more clear, simply to facilitate communicating something worthwhile.
> You should take into account that regen braking (even with resistors) only works at high rpm.

It's note even with resistors it's only with resistive braking that this applies.

If this is an electric car then the inverter can be programmed to give pretty much any braking force you desire just by altering the phase of the driving waveform. This can be done at any rotational speed.

My Model S can dump 50 kW back into the battery so long as the battery is not fully charged. At 60 km/h the kinetic energy of the car is about 300kJ so the car can be brought to a stop in about six seconds purely by regenerative braking.

In the final phase of braking the car has hardly any kinetic energy left so the huge 250 kW motors can easily bring the car to a halt and hold the car still just by balancing the magnetic forces in the motor against the motion of the car or gravity. In fact this is exactly what it does when running on traffic aware cruise control in stop go traffic, whether on level ground or on steep slopes.
Eh, this kind of change usually needs something to go wrong before something is done. Lots of people get outraged when you take privileges from them, even if they probably never should've gotten them to begin with.

It's also easy to loose track of your own bias. There is a strong selection bias in employment which makes it look as if all workplaces are similar, simply because a company is more likely to hire you if you've worked in a similarly run one before.
If waiting a year to start school is so great, why not just... send kids to school a year later than we currently do? Or stick in another year of kindergarten?
Most EVs have permanent magnet motors of some flavor right now (some have both a PM motor and a pure induction). I would assume that if you were having the motor be the primary braking system, and it was induction, there would be a tiny cheap magnet installed in it to generate bootstrap power to prevent exactly this scenario.
Well, it is certainly a very shaky proposition, and the car will probably be a total loss.

But there are ways you could walk away from this.

You see some pretty crazy crash survivals in race driving, for example.

And I remember stories from a few years ago, when Ford had a recall on F150 tires because they tended to blow out at highway speeds, with an effect similar to full wheel lockup-- yes, people died, but others didn't.

No mention that I can see in the landing page about the fiasco that the last 2 Hacktoberfest were (didn't they even have to cancel the one last year mid-way?). I feel like this has gone from one of the most beloved events in the Open Source community, to one of the most dreaded.

Edit: found it, there's mention of it in the Participating subpage, in a couple of subsections (including "SPAM"). However, it still doesn't look too promising, since it seems to put the burden of flagging it as SPAM on the maintainers:

> "PR/MRs that are labeled with a label containing the word “spam” by maintainers will not be counted. [...] PR/MRs that our system detects as spammy will also not be counted."
That's what I mean. And because it's CEOs and not CTOs it's likely a Zero-Day related to something geopolitical.

The West is at war, my downvoting detractors are naive to not contemplate that the world's #2 Army is not running shenanigans as they have literally publicly stated they would, and we have direct evidence to support it. And literally Biden gov. urging US businesses to 'patch up' at the start of the war. They are looking for whatever leverage they can. And there are other capable enemies notably China and North Korea.

If in fact this rumour is true, i.e. 'CEOs doing this at the same time' then this could very well be a national security issue.

Hi,

PBS KIDS is definitely not discontinued.

Their video and game content is also downloadable so you can take stuff on road trips. The video app is also available across a lot of streaming devices like ROKU, Apple TV, Amazon TV Fire, Samsung TV, etc.

This is still uncontrollable failure. What if the car is in the third lane doing enough speed and there's some cars behind? I assume no ABS, because ABS can't work with locked up brakes. This means no steering, just skidding whatever way.

You say this like it's some kind of gotcha, rather than Apple, a major corporation, refusing to actively break the law of the country where they're headquartered.
> And what happens should they theoretically fail to pay? Does law enforcement show up at their door? Does a collection agency handle it?

Court-assigned fines to the government generally get collected by the internal revenue service, not a collection agency; but the standard means if they do not comply does not involve law enforcement showing up at their door but the starting point is letters to all the banks to seize any current and incoming funds, if that is not sufficient, followed by seizure and auction of any real assets (e.g. buildings) - but since the described amount is roughly what Google earns from EU in a single month, simply seizing that sales revenue would be enough.

It is ABSOLUTELY a regulator and a court system running wild. That's the whole point here.

The commission narrowly defines a mobile OS market and excludes Apple through a selective description of these markets. Read the other comments in this thread for why that is an absolutely dishonest way of defining markets for the purpose of investigating or finding abuse of monopoly power.

Individuals on the committee have openly gone on record calling US tech companies "Evil" and vowing to exact punishment on them far before any investigation had begun. This is the definition of persecution.

An appropriate response to a reasonable government agency enforcement would be met with nothing but applause and diplomacy in international circles. When you look at the history of US tech companies being asked to pay unimaginable sums through very suspect changes in law and court rulings that seem to never challenge the core legal issues that are set on legally suspect ground, there is absolutely a diplomatic objection to be filed. In the interest of protecting the interests of any sovereign nation, that nation may choose to use all options available to it to stop the miscarriage of justice.

The United States and Europe maintain friendly relations through a series of agreements rooted in trust and a shared sense of purpose. When you have idiots and childlike behavior such as this that narrowly carves out a legally suspect standard to target and persecute an important US industry while turning a blind eye to Chinese companies , well . . . that's going to need a lot of re thinking.

As far as scientific advancement goes, you're hopefully smart enough to realize the contributions of all the intelligent work done not just at Google, but in the private sector at large. If not, well, your bias may prevent you from acting rational in this discussion and i wish you well.

And I continue to claim that looking at market this myopically doesn't actually represent the full harm and prevents the courts from making better decisions across the board. Just because Apple doesn't allow people to pay them money to deploy iOS it doesn't mean it has no effect on us consumers across the EU.

With this kind of thinking they'll just send a signal that building Apple-style locked DRM platforms is the only way to succeed - instead of building platforms that can be reused across manufacturers and can provide diversity in the market.

I really don't want to see another reenactment of Symbian with it's self-destroying fragmentation against Apple.
