"Operations" and COO, in my ignorance, I find extremely domain-specific.

I think of Operations from technology perspective - datacentre and servers and SRE and ITIL; processes like release / incident / problem management.

In many other businesses, Operations/COO is much more focused on business finances, supply chain, paying the bills, accounting, etc.

From that experience, while I too would love to have better understanding and will read this thread eagerly, I think we all need to be careful to "domain scope manage" it.

Rimac makes components for all kinds of EVs, including small sustainable ones. Their supercars are basically a research platform. It's where they push everything to the limit, which helps them learn how to squeeze out every bit of effiency from their technology. Efficiency is just as important to supercars as to small sustaniable city cars so much of what they learn is directly applicable.

It's also a marketing stunt to sell their technology to other automakers.

I think they perfectly understand the point of electrification.
Can you explain what multi-mode fibres are? From what I've read, it allows for WDM over a single fibre. But what is physically different about these multimode fibres that allow for this Space-division multiplexing? Wikipedia says:

>Multi-mode fiber has a fairly large core diameter that enables multiple light modes to be propagated and limits the maximum length of a transmission link because of modal dispersion.[0]

But that's clearly wrong because here we are using the standard diameter.

If I remember right Nixon's exit from the gold standard was at least pitched to the public as a temporary measure, and his team was slightly surprised at how little effect it had in terms of causing panic.

I think to some extent we've been riding that initial wave of trust and backing. The alternative I suppose is we've figured out how to manage things correctly and no longer need a peg, but the lead up to the end of Bretton woods sounds ominously familiar to the 2000s. CBDCs seem like the only thing that could potentially fill a similar role.

"However, from 1950 to 1969, as Germany and Japan recovered, the US share of the world's economic output dropped significantly, from 35% to 27%. Furthermore, a negative balance of payments, growing public debt incurred by the Vietnam War, and monetary inflation by the Federal Reserve caused the dollar to become increasingly overvalued in the 1960s...The American public believed the government was rescuing them from price gougers and from a foreign-caused exchange crisis."[1]

There's probably a difference between one-time purchases and committing to a subscription service (on a device that is also more expensive). If I did a lot of remote solo hiking, I'd probably feel I needed to spring for it, but I haven't as things stand.
I really like your point about working with nature leading to more abundance. I think that a broad approach is still necessary to make any sort of real impact to curb climate change. Sure focusing only on curbing fossil fuels won't work, but I also think that only focusing on the agriculture industry similarly won't work. Sweeping change can't happen all at once, so changing many industries little by little I think will have the largest impact.

My car (not a toyota) does it too and I've never had it actually brake but the very audible + visual warning signs definitely makes you act tiny fraction sooner (at least that is how it feels). I'm pretty sure it would have stopped otherwise on its own but a bit less pleasant.

edit: it also triggers when you go down a steep parking lot onto a flat surface a bit too fast which is interesting but at least valid (with respect to suspension compression and hitting the ground).

It's the same reason Home Depot and Lowes carry essentially the same products at the same prices, even though there is an entire world of building materials and hardware they don't have. Despite the idea of competition, large companies generally move in lock step. If they do something different they might end up falling behind the pack, and maintaining their position is the most important thing to do.

In this case, massive amounts of new money were pushed into the economy by lowering interest rates to zero and other stimulus, so the economic climate was one of more "growth" regardless of what fundamental analysis would say. This was the disconnect between Wall St and Main St widely that was recognized at the time. There was no way to know what the "new normal" would happen or what it would look like, so executives stayed with the pack.

And what really was the downside for hiring employees, even if they were just going to be let go later? Basically just the overhead of onboarding and getting them up to speed. And given that they were likely employed for a year or two, this wasn't even that wasteful.

Of course it sucks for the people whose lives are disrupted. But that's life in a paperclip maximizer driven by fickle centralized policy.

This looks much more in line with programming boilerplate with literal fill-in-the blanks.

I would say the article captures early etymology but this could be why we call it boilerplate.

What I'd like to learn is the earliest computer related usage of the term. Wikipedia says[0]:

> The term arose from the newspaper business. Columns and other pieces that were distributed by print syndicates were sent to subscribing newspapers in the form of prepared printing plates. Because of their resemblance to the metal plates used in the making of boilers, they became known as "boiler plates", and their resulting text—"boilerplate text". As the stories that were distributed by boiler plates were usually "fillers" rather than "serious" news, the term became synonymous with unoriginal, repeated text.[2][3]

> A related term is bookkeeping code, referring to code that is not part of the business logic but is interleaved with it in order to keep data structures updated or handle secondary aspects of the program.

Performance vehicle engineering trickles down to low cost, consumer vehicles. Thermal, durability, controls, and everything else is pushed to the limits to understand how the vehicle subsystems perform from a first principle perspective. Engineers learn a lot from these vehicles.

Disclaimer: not a weapons specialist. I'm not sure passive radar has much use as missiles and such. But it should be quite useful defensively (radar is useful for detecting fast moving incoming objects), so I don't think it's very justified to put it under arms control.

Drones for instance can be guided with off-the-shelf technology against slow moving targets.

I'm definitely not absolutely against arms control, the extreme case of course is nuclear proliferation. I think it's best to keep nuclear secrecy and try to break nuclear proliferation and even disarm countries as much as possible. It's just too dangerous, hopefully an unnecessary risk and unnecessary technology for a peaceful world.
Bamboo scaffolding is common in India as well, the only caveat being termites. Old bamboo carries these creatures everywhere.
The fact of mass layoffs immediately after the takeover just baffles me. I understand the pressure to reduce costs, and I understand that in some sense Twitter might be overstaffed for the features it offers. But the blunt of instrument of firing over half the company with a week's preparation feels extraordinarily inept. It's a wonder they've been able to keep the lights on -- losing access to their official Twitter handle was a nice touch. The money they saved over a more reasonable, long-term solution can't be that much in the scheme of things.

Just spitballing ... offer a generous severance for voluntary layoffs now along with a hiring freeze, and give a mandate to simplify the offering and reduce infrastructure costs. Take the time to learn the business and identify which areas can be profitably wound down. Only then reorganize the company and make targeted layoffs. (Bonus idea: don't rush features like Twitter Blue that no one asked for, are ripe for abuse, and might even lose money overall if reports are correct.)

I’m not sure you understand there business, having the fastest electric vehicle is one of the end products of all there in house engineering. I’m sure Mate and team understands a whole lot more than perhaps you give credit.
The EV industry as well as the spacetech industry would have none of the momentum they currently have if there was no messianic figure like Musk leading the pack.

Industries need charismatic evangelists to attract capital. Musk made investing in serious hardware ventures cool.

Now all the billionaires have their own space companies just to compete with Musk.

All in, a net positive. Otherwise Bezos billions might have gone into yet another superyacht.

If you get an abrasive personality with it, that’s a decent bargain.

Sometimes peoples' first name ends up being what they're known as by the general public, usually because using just the last name might be ambiguous. Nobody called him "West" before the name change, it was always "Kanye". Similarly, one might not immediately know who "Winfrey" is, but everyone knows "Oprah".

Presumably, since Larry Ellison is also a figure in the high-net-worth tech world, one might unintentionally mislead the reader by just using Caroline's last name, so in this case I see people just using her first. I don't think there's much more to it than that.

Lawyers and our legal system have become a social net-negative. The profession, by design, seeks to constrain activity for the benefit (hindsight protection) of a few. The truth is that many 'landmark' cases are completely manufactured and bench hunted. AI judgments will likely be no different.

The most important AI for our future is going to be the legal AI that allows people free defense from corporate bullies and trolls. Unfortunately, this kind of tech will likely be bought by Westlaw or LexisNexis and simply used to supplement current practice instead of revolutionize representation.

Commercialisation of circular economy concepts like making polysilicon panels from existing crushed mono or high purity poly panels is also happening.

>In the west, an advanced industry of NGOs, charities, and foundations has evolved which funds so much of the weirdness in our daily lives. A caste of activist-professionals have emerged, which inevitably capture any non-profit with spare cash.

Foolish me, I thought it was Gilded Age-level income inequality, and its subsequent funding of authoritarianism that was giving us the dysfunction of the 21st century. Good thing we have this crack journo to tell us it's...

...Non-Profit Organizations!
Over the past decade, new tools and technologies have changed how we think about education and family life. Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have expanded access to free learning opportunities. In 2006, Sir Ken Robinson’s “Do Schools Kill Creativity?”, the most popular TED Talk of all time, inspired many families and teachers to start rethinking their views on the effectiveness of the traditional school model. Founded in 2008, Khan Academy made it easier for any family to homeschool than ever before. Documentary films like Class Dismissed gave families an inside look at what modular learning can look like at its best (highly personalized, intellectually challenging, socially rich, diverse and eclectic) inspiring a new generation of families to start homeschooling.

But, the trend toward modular learning was supercharged in March 2020 when 300 million families around the world were forced into homeschooling overnight. A plethora of Edtech startups emerged to support the new wave of modular learners: marketplaces for learning pods, adaptive learning apps, and online classes.

While most families returned to school post-pandemic, many chose to keep going. They experienced that homeschooling gave their family greater flexibility and improved their children’s learning.

The internet is full of statistics and studies on homeschooling run by organizations with private interests on one side of the debate or the other.

We decided to sift through all the research and take an in-depth look at scholarly, peer-reviewed statistics and forecasts on homeschooling to determine if there are key indicators that prove homeschooling is really on the rise, what research suggests homeschooling can impact learning for the better, and how trends in other industries such as remote work and travel might point to a global shift towards decentralized K12 education.

Here’s what we found

Winning what?
Yea I work at Balancer and love decentralized finance. It is the shining light of the crypto market and it unfortunately gets so little attention in mainstream media.

We have a chance to make finance better with companies that are completely transparent. Where all funds are held by code which can be audited and proven that they can't steal funds.

Decentralized versions of what FTX did already exist:

- Exchanges: Uniswap, Balancer

- Lending Markets: Aave, Compound

- Options: Lyra, Ribbon

- Perps: GMX, Perpetual

We don't have to suffer through scammer after scammer until the end of time, and we don't need overbearing regulation to save us. We just need transparency.

Real finance is already being done in these platforms and I wish more people would take it seriously and realise this can be a much better future for everyone.

Plus because they're open source and composable we can innovate much faster but that's a thread for another time.
"Google" is a Klingon word meaning "privacy assault".
This is one of the reasons that as a one person mobile team, I’ve avoided anything but native mobile toolkits. It’s a little more work in some ways that way, but if I have to set one platform down for a while to focus on the other, picking it back up isn’t ever a problem, and if I run into issues usually others have too and they’re easy to fix. Even the mess that are native Android projects are usually reasonable to get up to speed.

Cocoapods in particular is a huge pain in the ass though, even on native iOS projects. It’s been blissful to drop it in favor of Xcode’s built in Swift Package Manager.

As an aside, I’ve found it similarly frustrating to try to get old Rails projects running again. Found one that I hadn’t worked on in at least a decade, would be neat to see it booted up again right? Haha nope forget it, isn’t happening.
That appears to be because Session uses Firebase as a dependency.

https://github.com/opendocument-app/OpenDocument.droid/issue...

Per F-Droid's definition of "the upstream source code is not entirely free":

https://f-droid.org/en/docs/Anti-Features/#UpstreamNonFree

This seems to be a case of "damned if you do; damned if you don't". Session relies on Firebase to get faster notifications from Google servers. This can be disabled in the applications preferences but changes the behavior from push-notifications to polling Session's decentralized messaging network, which makes messages notifications slower.

https://getsession.org/faq#push-notifications

For the sake of clarity it would be nice if instead of making such a vague pronouncement, F-Droid would specify precisely what about the upstream source code is not entirely free.
