In 1916 a barebones model-T cost $360 [1]. That's $8400 in 2019 dollars, and $9800 in 2022 dollars. This is actually what led to the normalization of planned obsolescence. [2] The widespread availability of reliable and cheap vehicles posed a problem for manufacturers which had, to that date, primarily just competed on quality and price.

What do do when you can't create something more cheaply, or of a higher quality? Curve some edges, strap a layer of chrome on it, and market it endlessly to get people to buy the fundamentally identical product over and over and over again. Progress!

>Wow you are uninformed.

Avoid this style of comment, please.

>Miners don't maintain a price any more than a whale maintains a price.

Yes, my point is both of them have a means and incentive to manipulate the price in ways that may not be favorable to the trader.

>The rest of the miners would step in and start making more money, actually.

Yes, at the cost of removing some of the security of the system. They can only maintain security if they have immediate access to more hash power which they probably don't. In that moment because of the sudden drop in hash power, the network is vulnerable to an attack by other malicious miners coming in and taking over. Alternately, if the rest of the miners notice what's going on they could see this as increased opportunity for them to conspire and become malicious.

>Not much of a rug pull to sell the tokens you've legitimately acquired through mining or fiat buying. That's just selling. High volatility selling, yes, but still just selling.

This right here is the conversation I most dread having with crypto people. It's fraud. You can call it fraud. Manipulating the market so the price is artificially high and then dumping it off onto unsuspecting buyers is a fraud. It doesn't matter how you initially got the coins. Yes, we can group different types of selling into different categories, like ones that are fraudulent and ones that aren't.

>Oh yes, Bitcoin has died thousands of times.

The exception that proves the rule, huh? There are definitely thousands of shitcoins that have crashed and burned and won't ever recover because they were plain old ponzis. Bitcoin crashed a lot of times, not thousands, but enough to wipe lots of people out every time it happens, relative to the number of people using bitcoin at the time. It's still not clear that any of the money moving around in bitcoin is actually real money or assets. I'm certain it's a ponzi too.

>Maybe you'll be right one day, but I doubt it.

So you're saying bitcoin is too big to fail, is that right?
Musk was forced to buy Twitter for one reason and for one reason only: because he himself signed the agreement to do so. He offered that kind of money. At no point was there anyone else forcing Musk to buy, or forcing him to skip due diligence. That's all on Musk and on Musk only.
>>If the greens are so powerful as to single handedly set the policy of a government whose leader was working for a russian gas company, why is beef, plastic, coal, and driving still a thing

Because greens don't have the political capital to institute a zero tolerance policy toward fossil fuels, and probably don't want to implement such a policy as it would mean their standard of living would regress 80 years.

Freezing nuclear power expansion and phasing out existing plants on the other can be done without an immediate economic cataclysmic that would make it both politically infeasible, and perhaps for the greens themselves, undesirable.

If the greens weren't powerful, how do you explain Germany's Green Party successfully pushing to get the country's nuclear power plants decommissioned?

>>The most optimistic programs have breeders just barely producing a surplus in an experimental reactor in the late 2030s.

My understanding was that breeder reactors are already producing surpluses and the only issue being that they're not economical because they have higher capital costs and it's cheaper to just enrich or use more uranium.

What's your source suggesting otherwise?

>>It did. It's had trillions of dollars poured into it. Nothing happened.

I know this is not true but I'm open to seeing any credible source that proves me otherwise.

Umm apple was the slowest to adopt webgl 2.0 to the point where it was pointless targeting it because you didn't have reach. And WebKit blocks a lot of other standards.

If iOS had open browser engines I guarantee you two things :

- evolution of web standards would be different

- web mobile games would be a thing

The 30% cut would incentivise big distributors to invest in it (Epic/Steam). It was enough to get epic to risk getting baned from appstore

In India, the only thing people use email for is when they are applying for jobs or other official requirements. Email is never used for personal communication. Forget about general public even the IT crowd does not use email for anything personal.
Well if I'm the one who's uninformed, you're not telling me anything I don't already know. Yes, I know you can see the transactions they made in that particular token on-chain. You have to get the information about who owns any of those wallet addresses from somewhere else. The chain doesn't tell you anything other than that they sent a token somewhere. Yes the other data is public but that isn't because of any feature of blockchains. The blockchain also won't tell you the actual details of the deals this guy was making or the favors he was calling in, you gotta look through his phone and emails to get that. As I said, it still doesn't paint the full picture because the real money is off-chain and can never be tracked on the chain. No, a USDT or a USDC isn't a real dollar, those movements may or may not represent actual money changing hands.

Why do people select c? I assume it is because it is the only compiler they have for some target hardware, or that they are working in a codebase like the Linux kernel.

For the former go won't help. Tinygo may help some day, but for any weird new chip the first thing they make is a c compiler.

The linux kernel accepts rust, or will next year. It does not accept go. So Torvalds at least disagrees it fits there.

Go has plenty of uses, but writing microcontroller firmware and device drivers are not among them. And why else would you pick c?
Or maybe, they are actually quite intelligent. Just because they're not bipedal, land dwelling mammals doesn't mean they don't hold some intelligence of their own kind.
Breaking the Front End Monolith
I guess I make a thumbprint database. Anyone who submits a previously unseen thumbprint pair to the database gets a dollar sent to the account they specify. That way, each thumbprint set is effectively worth one dollar, minus the trouble of submitting it.

Aggregators emerge to pay other people a bit less than a dollar for their prints (upon confirmation of uniqueness), and they leech off some of the money, but they distribute a lot of it and reach people and places I couldn't.

Some new problems to solve are
1. Can I avoid hosting and comparing uniqueness of eight billion thumbprint sets?
2. How do I avoid accepting fake, computer-generated thumbprints?
3. Is there a better alternative to thumbprints?

I'm sure the launch costs (which can be worked into $/kg for payload) can be easily looked up, and show that SpaceX's reused rockets are much cheaper than what came before.
In this case that is not what has happened. Rather, brands saw Musk's plans as non-brand-safe and refused to pre-book ads for all of 2023. That's not walking away for a month, that's walking away for a year at a minimum.
Like a lot of things, you need to add "in the US" to stuff like this, because outside the US these things are dirt cheap.
Poppycock. It doesnt need to be at this deep a level. But most orgs- small, medium, large, or xl, have essentially zero appreciation for knowing what the heck is happening in their systems. Theres a couple lay engineers about with some deep skills & knowledge, who the rest of the org has no idea what to do with & is unable to listen to. Apps get slow, cumbersome, crufty, shitty, tech debt piles higher, customers accept but grow increasingly doubtful, and thr company jusy fails to recognize forever & ever how close to the "thermocline of trust" it's gettint, where everyone internal & external just abandons the system & all hope. This is hugely prevalent, all over the place, & extremely few companies have the managent that is able to see, recognize, believe in it's people, witness the bad.

This is a case of eeking more out, optimizing, but the general diagnostician view is deeply needed widely. This industry has an incredibly difficult time accepting the view of those close to the machine, those who would push for better. Those who know are aliens to the exterior boring normal business, and it's too hard for the pressing mound of these alien concerns to bubble up & register & turn into corporate-political will to improve, even though this is often a critical limitation & constraint on company's acceptance/trust.

There's a lot of ultra passing this off comments. No one seems to get it. Scaling up is linear. Complexity & slowness is geometric or worse. Slowness as it takes root is ever more unsolvable.

A small subset of the B2B-level customers always benefits from monopolies. But this only reduces competition in their own markets... in this case the limited set of musicians and record labels who succeed via special treatment by Ticketmaster's monopoly.

Ultimately it harms more musicians/labels than it benefits. Especially in the long run.

This shows that monopolies not only harm their own markets but plenty of sub-markets as well.

The influence successful companies have on gov policy-making is one of the best arguments against ever more specialized gov intervention in markets. The best solution is gov policy that shuts down anti-competitive behaviour full-stop.

Not creating specialized 200+ page bills that can be exploited by the big players (see how Dodd-Frank resulted in only 5 mega-banks controlling a market while tons of small/medium banks shut down due to their unrealistic requirements) - which is often what's pushed both by politicians and inadvertently by the public who buy into false narratives about punishing corporate greed.

Luckily in many cases this is in fact not “on you”, but rather is a crime, or is subject to civil litigation depending on the nature of the fraud in question. This helps to avoid instances of retributive violence, which is the general solution when a legal system isn’t available.

With GrapheneOS, specifically, it kind of defeats their design goals[0] -- so on Graphene I would say it is not a viable solution.

Most states don't require any severance. The WARN act creates de facto 60 days, but if you can keep it below the threshold or show that the firing was with cause (like if you quiet quit), it won't even count against that.
Yeah, that's pretty weird. I thought this stuff would be cool slowed down, maybe like some DJ Screw type stuff, but no.

If you don't appreciate, or don't understand, C-style pointers (they're just addresses, where nil is a very useful value) then you won't like C and you won't like Go.

Go is an improved C. It's for people who like C but need C's well-understood problems fixed.

C-style pointers are not a problem. They don't need to be fixed. They're great, and that's why Go retains them.

Here is an example of C-style code making essential use of C-style pointers (especially nil pointers) but it's Go:

https://bugfix-66.com/50788214f539d50382528e86242eb3c846b03f...

You need to be able to represent addresses, and you need to be able to say "address of nothing" (i.e., nil pointer).

Sure, now show us lack of assimilation to a subsequent bilabial (in a context where /nk/ does assimilate), which is what Japanese does and that you're implying English does differently (it doesn't). English has it baked in so deeply that most would-be /np/s are already spelled <mp>, which muddies the waters a bit, but these past few days have given us plenty of clips of people pronouncing "government", haven't they?

As jtwaleson already correctly replied (thanks!), we're based in Germany and are mostly focused on EU regulations. The "good" news is that if you gain regulatory approval within the EU you can bring your device to market in any EU country.

There's quite an overlap with US (FDA) regulations but we're less experienced there.

Most startups (at least in my bubble?) focus on one of those two areas.
Yay, symbols.

> “I believe that Mark needs to be chairman and give up the CEO job and bring in a professional CEO,” George says

That is one of the most stupid advice I can think of. Instead of promoting someone within company who knows how everything works and has good ideas, bring into company some mythical CEO.
At least get the numbers right. This would be losing $90 to make $12.

Using Abbot Labs as an example, a $2 option for 10% over current price would expire roughly 4 months out. So you could make $6/year, and only risk losing the gains over 10% that occur within each 4 months.

The types of stock I'll do with this are generally those I view as reliable, possibly with a dividend (yes, increasingly rare these days), with little exposure to catastrophic downside. This chunk of my portfolio is about minimizing the catastrophic as dollars 1-100,000 have a lot more utility in retirement than dollars 1,000,000 -> 1,100,000.

In Unicode, Chinese, Japanese, and even Korean and Vietnamese characters are combined into something called "CJK Unified Ideographs",or just "Han".[1][2]. So they all get the same treatment for something such as italics. Not sure what HTML currently specifies for that.

During pandemic there was published paper (in nature?) that collected and analyzed thousands of employee data and arrived at same conclusion. It’s hard to stay disciplined when working remotely, apparently. However, I don’t think remote-only startups suffers from same issue. Moving traditional office employee to remote suddenly would be problematic unless there was a proper training for setting up home office, meeting etiquette, setting up cultural expectations etc.
> I guess expecting an employee to do actual work could ruin some ones lifestyle. I've been in a couple of companies now where only a few people "work" and the rest do "other stuff", I would have been happy in both those for someone like Musk to take over.

What makes you think Musk successfully selected the best people to stay? How could he even, in that short amount of time? That Twitter had to bring fired people back because it turned out that they were essential after all, indicates the opposite.

> Also as I remember once he saw past the facade of twitter he tried to back out and it was the twitter board of management that insisted he buy.

You remember wrong. It was Musk who insisted he wanted to buy, offered a ridiculously high price, and waived due diligence. The board didn't want to sell, initially resisted, but had to agree to Musk's high offer because they represent the shareholders and have to act in their best interest.

Only after the deal was done did Musk want to back out. That's not how it works. There's plenty of opportunity to due diligence and some serious thinking before you sign a big deal like that. Smart business people, or even normal business people actually, take advantage of that. Musk didn't, and he has only himself to blame.

Start with 45m break, 5m clarity through planning, 10m direct work tasks.

Ctrl-f "debrief" after that and use the debriefing module.

If you are still struggling then look at the words you are using to describe the problem you are experiencing, they are probably not accurate or they leak too much leverage in your case.

Try to keep all square/T list items to less than 2m each and in batches not to exceed 10m per long timer cycle.

For details, there are at least 2 issues with the FTC.

in 2011 there was a settlement about Failure to Safeguard Personal Information [1].

"Under the terms of the settlement, Twitter will be barred for 20 years from misleading consumers about the extent to which it protects the security, privacy, and confidentiality of nonpublic consumer information, including the measures it takes to prevent unauthorized access to nonpublic information and honor the privacy choices made by consumers.

Then in 2022 FTC charged Twitter for using account security data for targeted advertising. They have a $150M fine and some other conditions [2].

Not a specific device, but usage. In early-mid 2000s in Ukraine, most (if not all) cell phone services were prepaid, and special SMS or codes allowed you to send some amount of money from your account to someone else. Since not many people had actual banking accounts, this was a de-facto banking system at the time.

I believe this or similar systems are still in use in some countries.
