Long overdue. Should happen in all European countries.
Even if you remove the pilot you’d still need a big drone to load air to surface missiles capable of destroying an airfield. In which case, you’d also have to add a jet engine to make the thing capable of lifting the weight and be fast enough. And now you have a fuel issue, so you add even more size to be able to carry a few tones of jet fuel. Eventually you’ll end up with something as big as a fighter jet, in which case you can’t just develop thousands of them because the cost will already be too high.
i dont think it's contariranism, but assertiveness, confidence, and prioritizing their long term goal. But people will label anyone who knows how to say "no" as contrarian. they re just stubborn
IMO you should take that as a warning to improve your health before it gets even harder and have a pretty bad time in your 60s and 70s. You should be able to climb stairs with no problem in your late 40s and there are many who do fine in their 70s if they keep up their fitness.

Hardly. Chile is quite successful while Argentina is kind of a mess and Bolivia is worse. Uruguay is doing well also. Brazil is doing reasonably well, all things considered too. Venezuela is an absolute mess.

Europe is a really mixed bag as well.

There was some use of oil for generating electric power, but most oil then (as now) was used for transportation. In the US in 1970 only 6.1% of oil was consumed for generating electricity [1]. Electricity has only recently become a viable substitute for liquid fuels in ground transportation and it still can't substitute for long distance shipping or air travel. Since electricity couldn't replace transportation fuel at the time, and there wasn't a lot of oil consumed in electricity generation in the first place, nuclear power could not do much to compensate for swiftly rising oil prices.

Genomics today is the internet of the early 90s or programming of the late 70s. There is going to be an enormous boom in genomics-derived technologies in the coming decade which has been driven by the exponential decay in data generation costs. You're absolutely right that places with a "startup" mentality are where to be right now.

On that note :) I'm starting a forward-looking research lab at UofT to advance massive-scale (think petabytes) genetic analyses and am looking to find the right few individuals who have a similar vision. It's difficult to find passionate engineers with a solid CS and HPC background who are willing to meet halfway and work _together_ with biologists in getting the analysis right. Robert does this _very_ well, and that's why we recently co-wrote a landmark Nature paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-04332-2.

I think it's housing, but then again I think everything in the post-globalization west is housing.

I got a graduate degree in Edinburgh, and the one thing I kept noticing about the entire country is how difficult and expensive it is to acquire housing. People literally ooh'd and ahh'd when they learned that a friend had inherited a small home in Norwich, saying she was effectively set for life. It's like California's NIMBY-fuel housing apocalypse, but on steroids due to the greenbelts.

The problem with a housing crisis, is that it's zero-sum wealth consolidation slow-motion event that takes place over a multi-generational period. A country's personal disposable income would generally pumped back into the economy constructively by/via entrepreneurs, but in a rent-seeking housing environment, that disposable income is lost to consolidated entities, who generally pump the excess rents back into further housing consolidation, or in international markets.

The reason it sneaks up on you is that once the housing freeze happens, you slowly fill in the excess housing capacity exponentially, until almost overnight, rents skyrocket. Suddenly, the nation becomes dramatically poorer within a decade or so.

The only good news to this theory is that it's trivially fixable with massive housing construction plans, the bad news is that it will be politically unlikely for people to suddenly vote to allow "ugly" new construction in the most historic and important cities in the country.

Just imagine how much capital Londoners could put to work if they had housing taken care of. As of 2017 they have been spending 50% of their income on rent: https://www.bbc.com/news/business-42179119

With Copilot it's important to configure your editor so that it only generates completions when you ask for them. Then it can be very useful at times, especially when you're doing something you know is routine but you don't recall off-hand how to do (e.g. opening and writing to a file in append mode in a language you only use occasionally) Having it suggesting stuff every time you hit enter quickly gets annoying.

Pointing out that the solution is not perfect is fine. It helps future maintainers, even if self. The worst offenders don't even realize the badness of their implementations, intriguing further adventurers of their code's true intentions.
I dunno, "captain lazer" in the SBF/FTX tiktok video ( https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/yzjvp4/the_story_o... ) is the "crypto bro".

Part of the SBF schtick was the "anti-bro" vibes. The intentionally awkward, low social skills presentation is used by some major altcoin promoters too-- but I don't think many people would identify it as "crypto bro" and that's a big part of why its effective.

Paraphrasing Frank Zappa, the hacker spirit on this forum is not dead. It just smells funny.
Nice to see someone taking privacy a little more seriously.

The cloud has it's place but I've never been happy with the underhanded way that Office 365 "encourages" users to save to the cloud. When someone pays for one service, and is continuously pushed to use another (with additional downstream costs), I wonder isn't it time to pursue antitrust?
I know "shared community" sounds great to some, but to me it would be a living hell. I hate nosy neighbors. I tried with one neighbor, he and his family seemed nice enough, and he was new and getting to know people. After a few months I had a semi-retired cousin who likes to travel a lot stay with me for a month or so as my guest. After a couple weeks my neighbor waves me over, I figure it was just to say hi, and starts asking nosy questions about who that "man" staying at my house is, and I refuse to answer him because, well, it's nosy and none of his business. I was nice at first about my refusal because he didn't give me any reason why he was asking, but then he got angry. So I just walked away and haven't talked to him since. The best neighbor is a fence.
That last line really feels like a “I guess nobody wants to enjoy the great new taste of Pepsi Glass” kind of slant.

This, but there are more factors at play. Successful CEOs are often well spoken, have had plenty of press training, and usually have all the power in the conversation. Getting answers questioned is a privilege, not a right, unless you work in certain areas of law enforcement.

When bad things are on the horizon, CEOs have a little story ready to go, together with the surprise questions that may come up during the interview, or they don't come to interviews at all.

At a certain point, people collect enough money that press coverage is no longer much of a concern for them. Jobs, Musk, and other super rich don't need the validation and even manage to build a cult centered around their personality. As long as they say the right things to their key shareholders and don't start spouting unacceptable language that their core fan base disagrees with, it doesn't really matter if they come to interviews or not.

Private interviews are not a level playing field. Press conferences come closer, because more reporters means having to deal with more and less obvious questions.

It's not hard to be impressed by a young crypto billionaire if you have little to no knowledge about the platform and if their company keeps all the business details behind closed doors; for years, these people were actually running a moderately stable cryptocurrency business. Reporters couldn't know about how deep the company had sunk when the debts started to come in and a bunch of young people in bean bags managing billions of dollars for millions of people are doing something right; all they need to do is make the reporters comfortable and lie about or avoid the upcoming collapse and journalists are bound to write something positive about you.
Not reading any news at all is like not voting. The need to be informed in order to effectively participate in civic life does not magically go away just because you recognize that there are systemic problems.

Likewise, referring to all journalism as "the news" is making the same fallacy as referring to "the government" as a singular being. Neither are completely monolithic entities with anthropomorphic agency.
According to the article:

> Node, which builds tiny homes in factories to reduce construction cost

These cost >=$150k (source: https://www.fastcompany.com/90381454/these-flatpack-homes-ca...).

> Node’s smallest unit, at 400 square feet, is $150,000

This seems expensive to me given that in Kenya a 40x8 foot container home costs between 950,000 and 1,400,000 Ksh (c. $8000-$11500, so less that a tenth Node's price). (source: https://premiumcontainers.co.ke/current-cost-of-shipping-con...)

There's absolutely no reason technologically that housing has to be expensive. If it is, it's because of social/regulatory reasons.
yeah, the rule that "its fine if there is a known workaround" is not exactly user friendly.
I was using the word "deny" in the same way that you did here. You indicate it is not the same thing as "disagree with"

> My point is that we cannot deny new usages. We can disagree with them or choose not to use them, but denying them is just never going to work.

Where is someone denying that people use these terms in these new ways? I haven't read all the comments but haven't seen it so far.
Virtualization is basically an API library (Virtualization.framework) from apple's perspective where they expect others to make programs to manage it, so not so surprising from that perspective.
> I don't think the question of "profitable opportunity" would stand in his way.

There is absolutely nothing that can be done on a large scale if you don't have any type of economic power. Don't forget that even today none of his post-PayPal large ventures have turned any actual profit. People are only investing in Tesla, SpaceX, SolarCity and etc because they believe that it might be profitable. If it was known to be a money sink, we would still be stuck in the status quo.

> I'm interested in his self-promoted reputation as a "humanitarian".

And I don't care at anyone's ideology or their intrinsic motivation. Just look at the whole FTX saga to see how an "Effective Altruist" is responsible for the largest scam of this generation.

What matters at the end of the day is that Tesla broke the dominance of the big car companies and turned EV cars from mere prototypes into actual vehicles that people can buy. (Yes, it is still the exception, but soon it will become the rule)

According to Adam Curtis [0], Putin might be a puppet, controlled by a group of oligarchs. The hope that once Putin goes, everything will be alright is an utopian idea. IMO the Russian government might use Putin as a scapegoat, replace him, and use that to deny any wrongdoing ("It was all his idea").

Except trans men can get pregnant, so your point is moot, and hence the rest of your argumentation based on it.

Indeed. Google and Apple are pretty good at giving directions that actually relate to the signs on freeway off-ramps. Tesla tends to give directions based on a naive reading of the map (exit descriptions don’t reliably match signs), and the freeway lane indicators, while helpful, often show up too late.

To be clear, Tesla’s nav is pretty good, but I’d rather use CarPlay or Android Auto.
Not true - MHs can have special shallow stairs that are easier on the knees or even a wheelchair ramp or lift if necessary. All three of these options exist on houses on my street. Also my wife has bad knees but had knee joint replacement surgery on one pre-Covid and is scheduling the other knee post-Covid and she is happy with normal stairs.

There is nothing to prevent an organization from deploying office 365, and simply use the desktop apps only, never storing any data off-site. The only difference between that and installing the non-365 version of the office products is that the software updates are more seemless.
I’ve spoken to no one who hasn’t agreed that copilot aids in discovery when:

- learning a new code base

- learning a new (popular) library

- learning a new language

You could compare it to, say, eslint but for other languages .

What is an idiomatic way of X with Y?

Well, copilot will give you the answer in 10-30 seconds less time than opening a browser and searching.

Im not going to argue it’s legal merits, but as a learning tool, it’s very much like having a smart linter.

The larger scale code generation is less obviously useful and usually wrong, I agree.
> Sure, but isn't private security and gated living (AKA security fences) becoming the norm in most of the middle-class suburbs in many other countries?

Not anywhere I can think of in Europe or Australia.

I can understand your point though, if you're used to something it's difficult to change your lifestyle and that's true on both the positives and negatives. Someone used to living in a safe country wouldn't imagine exchanging that safety for a larger house. If you're used to the crime and have not lived anywhere safer then you do not see it as much of a negative.
But once you have a large house with a bunch of stuff in it, it's difficult to imagine getting rid of some of the items and live somewhere smaller.

> Then, our product failed to generate revenue. Our 500k developers would not pay to use it.

I don't pay for Kite (or any other proprietary developer tooling like Github) because one day your company can choose to shut down, change its terms, or raise my prices and I'd be left without recourse, while also being locked in to a proprietary workflow. Just like you did today, which validates my hesistation.

Kite should have been open source from the very beginning. I hope the team can take away this learning for their next startup. I applaud teams like GitLab who build entirely in the open--and, as a result, have highly successful products and businesses.
I've known a couple people at least that lived in mobile homes and had a ramp built to accommodate them better. Are you saying for situations where a ramp isn't an option or isn't sufficient?

No, it's the same ableist nonsense that's been spewed since at least the Victorian era. If you're not making intense eye contact during difficult conversations you're not engaged, you're weak and undeserving of the respect you deny others.

There are way, way more people who are alike in this way than are blind or deaf. Because it's not visible it's a 'safe' form of discrimination.
Of course they are. Health details, too, because there have been leaks in healthcare, too, most recently in Oz. Also financial metrics: everyone’s game score was leaked by Equitax IIRC.
That looks unenforceable. True, most devices today (ios and android) have protections, but still there are devices running Linux or Windows that allow anyone to install unwelcome software, including crypto wallets.
France isn't taking privacy seriously. They're the most advanced nation on the planet in terms of industrial espionage.

What they're concerned about is not having their businesses operate at the whims of and be open to disruption by Americans.

I work at a company that has a French government service as a customer. They are super sensitive to their data transiting across US servers but have zero concerns about transit through the rest of Europe...including Europe's "fourteen eyes" nations.

Your code is like a home. If your home is messy, it changes how you feel in the space. If my home is messy I feel weirdly ineffective and sloppy. Tidying up makes me feel empowered and capable.

Don't leave mess alone. Tidy it up. A codebase you actively nurture will make you feel like change is easy. Its well worth the time investment.
This whole thing sounds like an astounding market failure. Many can buy their way around society's inability to deliver (even quasi-) reliable electricity, but just wow.
Small problem - investment groups have realized there’s money to be squeezed out of the tenants. If you can find a co-op park, or something with strong tenant rights and price controls, it might make sense. But buying a MH in a park owned by a family runs the risk of astronomic rent increases and reduced services should the family sell to one of several professional investments groups.

I'm sorry, but the reason I didn't pay for Kite was that I moved to Tabnine which is free, and does a better job, with a simpler AI model... just scanning my local code provided better recommendations than Kite (and I never got any of the promised multi-line suggestions).

Even plain old Jedi was a decent competitor to Kite.

Another advantage of tiny homes in rural settings is they're generally optimized for outdoor living, thus dramatically increasing the usable space by using the abundant outdoor space.

Urban settings generally lack that option.
I don’t know all your circumstances, but I have found good charging options matters significantly more than extra capacity. 300 mile range is enough to go 150 miles out into the woods and back, which is a good distance. A midway charge at, say, an RV park along the way brings you up to 300 out and 300 back.

Further, when traveling along the freeway, a large battery just gets you a little further off the initial charge. It’s really your charging speed that sets your trip time.

I will still shell out for high range models, because I do stretch things, but I shop the charge network more than I do the range.
