Wow, that's interesting. Do you think this is because they had to design this kind of system much faster than nvidia in order to release something to compete with cuda? Or are there other reasons for this sort of design decision?
WhatsApp number only appears to show up on Starlink for Brazil, so no idea if that’s even useful.

Also, might be wrong, but you mentioned iDEAL which as a payment option I have only been able to find that as a payment method for Netherlands. For Sofort and iDEAL payments on Starlink Netherlands both state:

“You will be redirected to your bank's website to complete payment. By submitting this form, you authorise (A) Starlink and Stripe to send instructions to your bank to debit your account and (B) your bank to debit your account in accordance with the instructions from Starlink and Stripe. As part of your rights, you are entitled to a refund from your bank under the terms and conditions of your agreement with your bank. A refund must be claimed within 8 weeks starting from the date on which your account was debited.”

Which means you still have sometime to try to resolve this or get a refund. Possible since Stripe is mentioned that they might also be a way to get this resolved.

As for the IBAN number you have, if you Google IBAN lookups, you will get the bank information, but my suggestion would be to contact your bank as soon as possible to find out what the process is from their perspective to get a refund in case it takes time so you’re not trying to be within 8 week limit; per Starlink, which might not actually be the legal limit per law where jurisdiction is for the transaction.

> a neurodivergent person just looks at all that as window dressing that isn't required.

This seems like a hypothesis that we could test. For instance, by rationally explaining the practical utility of eye contact, to detect earnestness or deception. Then ask them to attempt this, and see if they can bring themselves to even try. My guess is most neurodivergents who avoid eye contact will find that eye contact remains too uncomfortable to even attempt it. This would show that their eye contact avoidance is not merely a matter of them not seeing any utility in a pointless social game.
Current top post on HN is a Raspberry Pi project: rpi is a British invention.

I remember when the Unreal Tournament demo came out - it was supposed to be locked to owners of 3Dfx cards, but if you put an empty file in the game directory called glide2x.dll, it would run in a software-only renderer.

At the time, I worked for a company that had a large-ish computer training room. These weren't high-end machines, but they would run the Unreal demo, early Counterstrike (1.5-ish?), and Quake 1 just fine.

Around 4:30PM, a bunch of guys (30-ish and younger) in the building would gather in this room to play. This was totally unsanctioned by the company, and probably against some business policy there. The doors to the room would lock from the inside, and the two doors to the room had narrow windows. I cut a rectangular piece of cardboard that exactly fit these windows, painted them flat black, and we'd put them in the windows when we played - if people walked by, it looked like the lights were off in the room. We called these cutouts our "beatdown screens".

Those gaming sessions were some of the most fun I've had in a long time. At one point we may have had close to 20 people in the room. In the words of Penny Arcade, we were "Making punk bi*** suck it down".

> I wonder if some of those hurrying forth with negative predictions about every Twitter development are just saying what they hope happens

Personally I don't claim to have any strong predictions, but find it fun to think about the most entertaining scenarios.
Hypocrites. Like a friend of mine who drives an electric car and takes 30+ flights per year including multiple trips across the Atlantic, entirely for pleasure, since selling his business and entering partial retirement. He's a bit of a prig about everything, politics included, so he's a constant source of judgment about people's politics and emissions. I don't doubt he buys carbon offsets for every flight he takes and blames lack of regulation of the carbon offset market for any harm he's causing.
I think it's closer to a year than a lifetime but the point still stands. Vegetarians who fly are not prioritizing GHG emissions (they usually have other well-weighted decision factors like the agricultural/nitrogen/pesticide pollution and cruelty).
Each of your two caricatures exhibit obsessive traits that should be disqualifications for any multivariate layered and strategic responsibility.

In my working life I've found, in balanced environments that your exception proves the rule, but I don't personally consider the start-up and tech capitalism economy balanced.
Precisely my experience with Uni dorms as well, with the only exception that our dorm headmasters not only supported us, but they joined in the ad-hoc LAN as well. The massive sharing of files was a godsend. And this was all over the entire students complex, spanning like dozens of streets that formed it.
It's not particularly extraordinary because the UK's economy is dominated by services companies, and the EU single market never really made progress for services. They only developed and enforced a single ruleset for goods. Attempts were made from time to time to liberalize the market in services but usually failed because it would have benefited the UK at the cost of France/Germany, whereas for goods it was the other way around.

That's why exports to the EU haven't changed much (see my other comment). Imports did fall, but that the UK continues to import from elsewhere so it's unclear why people in Britain should care. The EU lost an export market, the UK didn't really (because the EU rules weren't benefiting that market in the first place).

This is the sort of thing I mean - there are a lot of people who very much want leaving the EU to be a disaster for long term ideological reasons. To determine whether it actually is or not requires a holistic analysis that goes well beyond economics, but at the moment even establishing basic economic facts like "inflation is not caused by Brexit" is apparently hard.

I see the issue - it looks like it could be a "～って(いうのは)いいぜ" kind of construction. But in that case the preceding bit wouldn't be te form, it would be "動きやすいっていいぜ" or whatever.

Rather, the っ here is just an affectation that makes the speech sound a bit childish. What's being said grammatically is just 「動きやすくていいぜ」.
Sure there's an element of that, but for some people it seems much worse than others. Some people can still speak clearly with a mask on, but many people can't.
(I wear hearing aids and always have; not correcting you; just typing/sharing y own observations to see if I learn anything)

I do plenty of staring at mouths (subconciously), and eye contact has always been a different thing than eyes-watching-lips, especially one-on-one. I'm not sure how it is for the normal-hearing, but prolonged eye contact has never been something I've done much of, my eyes usually regularly drop to the lips (or for those who I can hear really well, I won't be looking at their faces at all ;) )

When following in a group setting, I do watch eyes, but have that strong response of looking away if the speaker happens to make eye contact. And yeah, participating/interjecting in conversations is a weakness.

The whole masking thing though... has been new and rough. If I have to converse 1-on-1 with the other wearing masks, there's no lips to watch, but the eyes are still there! I haven't dug into it too much (spooky? eyes are just distracting non-lipreading motions?), but my brain does massively better at figuring out what is said if I look to the side (typically at the floor/wall). Whether or not I have any autism spectrum traits or not, I'm sure a higher percent of people wonder about such now, than they did a few years ago.

Masks + group of friends: I pretty much auto give up and idle on my phone; the culture of "don't question others about wearing masks" is too strong to feel socially comfortable with asking for masks to be removed. That's definitely excuse-making on my part, but my friends also are pretty good about removing masks when we're seated for dinner, etc. so I haven't been forced to ask for mask removal anyways...

A Needle in a Coastal Haystack
You raise good points, but let's also consider that:

-planes travel a lot of miles very quickly. MPG is a fine number, but we should also look at something like total emissions per year of average use.

-planes emit around 3% of the global carbon total but serve only around 15% of the global population, unlike most industries.

I'm not going to stop flying anytime soon, but let's not kid ourselves about the impact our collective lifestyle has on the rest of the world.

Also worth mentioning that measures like carbon taxes, while having many problems, neatly solve what to optimize for when fighting carbon emission. Scale is automatically baked in.

> if ~500 million people subscribe all year.

Which is outright impossible. Twitter's last earnings report [1] reported a mDAU of 237.8 million. To hit $50B in subscriptions, they'd have to more than double the number of users active on on the site, then get all of them to subscribe. Which isn't happening -- even getting 10% of current mDAUs to convert to paying users would take a miracle.

German CC ownership is something like 33%. It's low compared to similar economies but it's hardly "nobody" and nobody is surprised when an online store only supports CC payments. (Also, German companies that want to offer CC-less payments on items this large and with a subscription cost probably most commonly also support actual bank transfers.)

> The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has given the final stamp of approval for four dams along the lower Klamath River to be removed, reinstating access to more than 300 miles of habitat for salmon and improving water quality.

How does removing the dams improve water quality? This is just a science question. I suppose that sitting around behind a dam could change the temperature of the water and affect the conditions for algae, bacteria, and so on, but I don't see anything in the article that makes it clear if this is what they mean.

I don't know the process they use, but it would not be unreasonable to harden such thin blown glass with a "pickling" process. This would make it much harder (to resist scratching), tougher (more difficult to crack), and more safe (breaking into many pieces rather than a few jagged ones). The process replaces smaller (typically Na) with larger (typically K) ions putting the outside of the glass in compression.

Notably, cell phone glass (eg Gorilla) is similarly hardened and can go down to 0.7-0.4mm while maintaining these properties.
It isn't like they were really building these places before smartphones, though. These are things that are generally either services and cost money rather than make them or they are for-profit places that don't always have much demand. I don't know why it seems surprising that the "motivation" to build these isn't there now since the same restraints are still there.
Most humans are basically good. A significant minority aren't, maybe about 10%. Enough that you should never ignore the possibility the other person is a psycho, but few enough that you should never assume everybody else is a psycho.

Also, psychos tend to concentrate in certain places. If you're in a board room, or hanging out with a bunch of surgeons, perhaps it's rational to assume everybody else there is a psycho.
The statisticians I knew were only too happy to go along with some ANOVA. They're usually consulted at the start of the study, but rarely co-author.

A lot of psychology is bad research. There's a reason there's a reproduction crisis. Statisticians are to blame for that, too. They've been teaching and using NHST, even though all arguments point away from it.

But statisticians can't fix a bad design, because they rarely know the factors involved, and they can't fix errors in the methods, because they've got no idea about the subject matter. The statistician in your argument comes across as some kind of totem.

> There's nothing there.

There's something there, but since we don't know what, it's best to take it with a grain of salt. However, if even the bloody HR department looks at IQ scores, it gets a lot of attention. And one explanation is that it predicts better than nothing. If you have to choose between two candidates, and one has an IQ of 80 and the other of 120, you know who (on average) who fits best.

How to See the Amazon Price History of a Product
I want to make websites like this and run into the same problem every time: phones exist now.

The website is illegible on my phone. I have to do some zooming and panning and it feels awful.

It’s difficult to have a nice “classic web” page that runs on phones without a lot of care to use media queries. Not that that’s a deal breaker but it quickly departs from the “keep it simple” philosophy of these designs when you are effectively designing it twice.
This type of website, with just the addition responsive text, is how most of the internet should ideally be.

> after 50 years we'd have overcome this, settled into a plateau of productive, reflective progress that uses digital tools.

IMO The problem is that, for all these years, "digital tools" progress was highjacked in service of corporation’s goals. the tft spirit is kind of different in that respect.

> has actually kept us mentally paralysed, enchanted, in an era where deep human thought is more necessary than ever.

Every time I take a deep dive into "quality" journalism/academia/books, I 'm reminded that all that necessary "deep human thought" we crave is already out there for the taking. We don't need more of it or even better. We need more people do open their minds to it.

But if billions of those people amuse themselves to death with media, and millions fashionably consume their digital tools as they do for everything else in their life, I think you should solely blame the influence of crass capitalism for that.

Tft kind of ideas, are a solution-in-waiting, not the cause of it.

I don't think UK people are inheritantly less ambitious than anywhere else, but the very low social mobility here has always dragged down potential for some, while the punishing austerity and lack of investment over the past decade has limited other people's opportunities further.

The manual for my dishwasher. What I learned from it was that technical writing is a skill and that it does not come from technical knowledge alone.

The best documentation knows its audience and what they want to know. I quite like cppreference and usually ISA documentation is quite good. But this is because I am part of their target audience.

The worst documentation is the one which has entirely lost sight of its audience. Particularly offenses are it being a mix of tutorial and reference, which is filled with explanatory prosa potentially even serving as a first introduction to the given topic.

Cppreference is about the worst way to learn C or C++ and if it weren't it would be far less useful to me. Documentation writers have to know their audience first and foremost. There is a place for walkthroughs and tutorials, but they can not replace an actual language reference.

LAN parties weren't amazing. They still are amazing. My friends and me still have LAN-parties the whole night on weekends. We play classic games like Warcraft, Starcraft, CS GO and 1.6, but also play "newer" (needs ro run on every machine) games like Borderlands.

My girlfriend also regulary have LAN-parties playing Stardew Valley with her friends all together in a room like in the good old times.

All of us are 20-30 years old. Some take their laptop with them, some their tower + keyboard and mouse. The only difference is that we can play over Wifi (still works better over LAN) and have fast Internet for all these annoying updates.

LAN-parties aren't a relic of the past. They are still totally awesome and no online-game can compete with good friends playing computer games all night. ;)
A counter example: any official Java docs are pretty sparse and unhelpful. Jenkins docs too.

I once raised a seed round with a dirt-simple (deliberately) deck that was just black and white text, Times New Roman default powerpoint style with zero design elements other than bullet points.

I got a lot of comments about how refreshing it was to just let the ideas and data stand for themselves without frills.

I accept that a deck and a website are not the same thing, but there is value in sometimes deliberately under-designing something.
