You don't think the market could sort this out through time? Free market believers don't think the market will sort out every problem overnight - it is pretty much the belief that the bad players get shaken out over time.

The harder ones seem to be healthcare (massive info asymmetry) and anything related to pollution (externalities). The market has had time on those and not done so well.
It’s still good news for average joe because at least there is something to look forward to.
In reality I enter my phone passcode very infrequently because I use a fingerprint reader. I have set a long PIN since I don't want it to be brute forced. Because of the horror stories I hear of law enforcement and abuse of power, if I have a run in with a cop, turning off my phone is one of the first things I do. In a stressful situation where I am facing potential harm to my body or my family I can very easily see myself forgetting what that long, infrequently typed PIN is.
I suppose that'd apply to any place though, especially in the U.S wouldn't it?

>The other point is that GNU utils are self-contained binaries and don't usually include transitive dependencies 20 levels deep.

Mostly because UNIX programs don't actually call other programs all that much. Composability happens on the shell level, but not so much in the program code level.

e.g. The implementation of 'cat -n' isn't 'cat | pr -n' or the equivalent C, and pr usually isn't in a separate package from cat.

I don't see well the point in this remark. Releasing free software has many consequences, and among them, one is to give freedom to people.

Giving freedom to people is however the starting point of our story: we wanted to give the freedom to use a smartphone without, as much as possible, being spied on by tech giants. We accomplished (probably imperfectly, but honestly) that even with closed source software, for the people who put their trust in us. So no, our primary goal has never been to create a free software, just for the beauty of creating a free software: we're more interested in people freedom.

Releasing the sources is just one step beyond, to increase trust in our work, and attract more people to a new way of considering their smartphone, whether it is directly with our rom or other roms that can now use our work. We even chose to license the heart of our developments with the AGPL, to guarantee that improvements made by others will be beneficial to everyone.

That being said, as a developer who likes the code for itself, I like the idea to create a free software ;-)
> Right, but the FDIC explicitly says large amounts may take longer in the status quo.

Right, you can’t ramp up the printing presses instantly — which is literally what they would do if they had to.

I think people are missing the point that if it ever got so bad the FDIC had to worry about covering everyone your biggest worry would be the roving gangs looking for the Mormon food caches.

No, you're obviously wrong. Firing people first lets one get rid of the underperformes, while announcing the unpopular decisions first gets rid of the overperformers.
There's a wrong way, though - anybody smugly telling somebody they're an idiot for saying 'octopuses' when it's actually 'octopi'.

I think 'octopodes' is 'most correct', but 'octopuses' is fine. And most will mispronounce 'octopodes' if they choose it anyway, so 'octopuses' probably would've been better.
> It's not better, but potentially 100x cheaper. Not yet, but soon. That means a single developer in a 3rd world country can do the work of a content farm. Maybe you're right and that won't change anything, but I think it will.

That's fair. It's not meaningfully cheaper for text, because text is cheap and easy to vary automatically, but making video easier to produce will change the dynamic a little.

To see how that might pan out, I'd compare it to the world of text posts, which have been cheap and easy to automate for some time.

EG reddit has heaps of bots making pointless comments so that they can establish a pattern of "looking real" that lets them participate in (paid) upvote farms.

Well they went to use rust and broke their package for thousands of users.

They do not provide precompiled files for everyone and suddenly gcc isn't enough to build.

Debian (and I guess ubuntu) are stuck on a year old version because of using rust before packaging rust stuff has been solved.

They aren't the most careful of maintainers, it seems.

Less well known: it only requires one exception to prove a proposition false.

YouTube and Twitter are, at least currently, very different services. Even if it's the same, the fact is that this $8 needs to not only supplement existing ad revenue but replace it, which makes the financial challenges worse than if it were merely $8 for perks.

There's some irony to this appearing on what.cd

When OiNK was taken down there was a massive community effort to put a successor online within days. But we had to kick out an early staff member called "WhatMan" for trying to hijack the entire project and run it as his own kingdom, right down to changing the name from "Waffles" to "What CD?" while others were catching a few hours sleep between hacking at the code. Months of bitter disputes between the sites followed.

This refers to the Declararation of Rights of Man dated August 1789. It's still nowadays the foreword to the French Constitution.

Hence the idea that France is the home of the human rights, which is deeply rooted in the representation of many French of themselves as a country.

Obviously, there is a huge gap with reality - but that can be opposed to any idealistic set of principles.
So a brief history:

- <i> makes text italic

- no, presentational elements are bad, use <em> instead

- okay, fine, you’re all still using “i” so we’ll put it back in the standard

- here’s a convoluted meaning to pretend that it’s in the standard for some reason other than “we tried to remove it and failed”
I'm sorry, but come on. Being a musician myself, I always try to keep an open mind and fully realize that not all music is supposed to give you the warm and fuzzies, but IMO nothing about that is interesting. It sounds like mathcore on fast forward with a chipmunk incomprehensibly chattering over it. No interesting harmonic structure, no interesting instrumentation or arrangement, rhythms straight stolen from other genres.

I'm being genuine when I say I'm interested to hear what about this moves you. I almost always get it even if I don't like it. This...I don't get it.
Every few years I rediscover this website. Thanks, it was about time for me to try something new.
Same thing happens with construction planning - very hard to get anything “unusual” through planning departments if it doesn’t just conform to existing methodologies, design, and often even size. Hence why movements like the tiny house movement have such a hard time - the rules were designed when building was affordable - now it’s not.
Alternatively, discussing Elon Musk makes people act like children. Something to think about...

Most posts about property-based testing focus on convincing the reader to do property-based tests and the mechanics of writing the tests.

It's very clever and very intentional.

Vocaloid was developed as a DSP project at a Spanish university, supported by Yamaha, and first marketed in the UK - with almost zero success.

It wasn't until it was personalised/mythologised by combining it with anime in Japan that it really exploded. Crypton have very deliberately milked it for everything it's worth. Making the output branded but royalty-free was marketing genius.

One bizarre thing about it - it's converging with autotuned vocal stylings applied to organic human vocals, especially in genres like hyperpop. It's becoming increasingly hard to tell them apart.

Another bizarre thing - there's a kind of corrosive psychedelic "What does human mean?" aesthetic that applies to AI art in general. Vocaloid music is a subset of other emulated artforms: simultaneously cute, spectacular, and naive, but also disturbing, overwrought, and uncanny.

This looks very much like a new era, in the manner of Baroque, Romantic, and Modern. It's going to be explosively transformative for all of the arts, and it's not obvious yet that there's going to be much left that's still recognisable after the dust has settled.

On the contrary, it’s a very, very good news for an average Joe. Every sufficiently advanced technology starts very expensive. Then capitalism and progress do their job, and it becomes available for masses.

The path to “make it cheaper” is generally easier than the path to “make it possible”.
If you knew anything about Pournelle (his books are good, especially his collaborations with Niven), you'd realize he'd be the last to espouse communism. This is someone who arguably came up with the SDI during the Reagan administration.

Can you expand on this? I think I kind of understand where you're going with this: consciousness might be an efference copy of our actions? (so our actions don't "surprise" us? rather than consciousness creating actions?)

I find it very ironic that Satoshi created Bitcoin with the objective to be more resilient than banks, with the famous genesis block containing "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks". A decade later, the bitcoin creation generated an entire industry of "crypto banks" that are opaque, played with customers money and went bankrupt.
That it sounds like mumbo jumbo is no surprise at all and kinda normal given the circumstances.

First, tech communities are not exactly known for deep visual design-theory interest or background (for example, what's your personal experience level with logo design? This would inform both a tendency to radically re-summarize using the word "just", and a tendency to relate the description in nonsensical terms; it's a matter of education depth).

Also, I used to lecture college students on this stuff at length, so it's kind of plain ol' design thinking to me, from theory/psychology to application.

And then, a lot of people also call tech talk mumbo jumbo. For related reasons I don't really feel the need to justify or bring it down to earth any more than I'd try to do that with the Linux kernel in a random "kernel? sounds like mumbo jumbo" discussion.

But as always, in the right context the theory-practice connection provides leverage that can't be had elsewhere.

PS there are some absolutely great examples of this thinking if you are willing to empty the cup and explore the foundations. See the "In popular culture" section here as one possible point of departure:

All I know is that when you have within a few weeks nearly 15k+ former Facebook, Twitter, Stripe, and (name the next SV company to layoffs) folks entering the job market…if you are still employed, you might want to lay low for a while and count your blessings, because there is going to be a hundreds of impressive resumes for every open position in tech that comes open for the next 12-18 months.

Rage quitting would be really really stupid right now. You’ll end up replacing your cushy 6-figure tech gig with a lovely career slinging hash and eggs for minimum wage plus tips.

To keep working without clearly defined goals and deadline is a waste of time as well. There needs to be a clear KPI as to what product features should be completed by when, as well sales plan and concrete sales KPI to hit. After that, use the money and resources at hands to give them a shot. After the deadline is reached, sit down together, evaluate, and decide what's next. The expectation has to be very clear (I.e to make X amount of profit within Y months) and it should be evaluated very objectively to avoid any hard feelings

This depends on the devices. Some of them like pixel and fairphone ones allow bootloader relocking, lineage supports this, and iodé too.

I think that when people make the transition to a custom rom, they often don't care about that because they primarily want to give a second life to a slightly outdated phone. Then, some of them become more conscious of the possible danger of having an unlock bootloader, and choose next a smartphone with relockable bootloader.

> When I met Elon it was apparent to me that although he had a scientific mind and he understood scientific principles, he did not know anything about rockets. Nothing. That was in 2001. By 2007 he knew everything about rockets - he really knew everything, in detail. You have to put some serious study in to know as much about rockets as he knows now. This doesn't come just from hanging out with people.

> Elon is brilliant. He’s involved in just about everything. He understands everything. If he asks you a question, you learn very quickly not to go give him a gut reaction.

He wants answers that get down to the fundamental laws of physics. One thing he understands really well is the physics of the rockets. He understands that like nobody else. The stuff I have seen him do in his head is crazy.

He can get in discussions about flying a satellite and whether we can make the right orbit and deliver Dragon at the same time and solve all these equations in real time. It’s amazing to watch the amount of knowledge he has accumulated over the years.

Why are you trying to minimize this? I presume it is acceptable behavior as long as they are making more than you are?

Your fellow citizens do not deserve that kind of treatment, no human does.

If I compensate you accordingly, are you willing to accept sub-human treatment and an environment of constant fear and stress with no sense of accomplishment? Especially in the case of an eccentric billionaire playing financial mechanics with a vanity project?

MD and I work in the field. The technology is called CAR-T, as the article mentioned. It’s been used pretty widely for “liquid” tumors for a while (eg leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma),but solid tumors are particularly difficult to target using current CAR-T therapy. If this CRISPR tech can be applied widespread to solid tumors that opens up a huge swath of patients that can be treated.

However cost and logistics are a huge factor. CAR-T therapy currently cost about $300,000-$500,000 to treat a patient. Beyond the cost of the immunotherapy you require a huge institutional investment because there are characteristic side effects that occur within the first 30 days of treatment which necessitates patients to be either admitted to the hospital for 30 days or stay in close proximity with daily check-ins (yes the cancer is getting treated BUT now your immune system is hyperactive which can be very dangerous in the short term).

Very few academic hospitals, let alone community hospitals, have this bandwidth which will lead to cancer care being concentrated in a handful of a few very large cancer specific institutions.

This is useless insofar as in a rich-text editor, when the user clicks the “i” button or presses Ctrl+I, they still mean italics, and there is no separate “idiomatic” button, which if present would furthermore only confuse most users. Same for bold.

Also Markdown doesn’t support the distinction.

This is not to say that browsers should prevent styling <i> elements differently, but the intended meaning is still “whatever italics means”.
I always use <em> for any kind of emphasis, and I'll even do <em class="italics"> and <em class="bold">, fight me.
