Perhaps overly semantic, but... there's a conflation of "care about customers" and "cared about business goals" there. Ideally, they're the same thing, but not always. And if you care about customers, but are 'managed' in to doing things which are clearly at odds with what the customers are wanting... you're in a bind.

> automatically subtract the scrollbar width

Santa: "That is simply impossible with the default scrollbar model".

You may have infinite loop in layout algorithm in cases when content is close to size of the viewport.

0) remove scrollbars

1) calculate VW;

2) do content layout;

3) if content exceeds viewport height, add v-scrollbar and goto 1 if it has not the scrollbar before;

4) if content does not exceed viewport height, remove v-scrollbar and goto 1 if it has it before;

The only option is to use scrollbars that do not take space: normally scrollbar appears as thin semitransparent bar on top of content. And on mouse hover the real scrollbar appears , but again on top of content.

Such scrollbars do not cause re-layout as you see and VW is a viewport width always.

That's why in Sciter(https://sciter.com) I've added

overflow:scroll-indicator;

That's exactly that non-taking-space-scrollbar.
It is pretty trivial to disprove that: A human could no doubt "remotely" drive using the current Tesla cameras. So the sensor suite might be more challenging than alternatives, but obviously not impossible.

You could however argue that the current computer isn't powerful enough to run the software required for vision based L3/L4.

Very interesting list to build a discussion.

As a Web3 incumbent (more than 200 research, development, and security auditing projects done since 2014 in several blockchains and layers) I would start adding the following:

- Provide one or more robust multi-party computation (MPC) libraries. Awesome-MPC [1] provides a big list but most are not maintained or security audited, were acquired and closed by companies (cough, cough Coinbase [2]). There are existing projects such as https://web3auth.io/ but the core elements are not open source. Shameless plug: we have created an MPC wallet that is accessed through https://walletconnect.com/ the interesting point about MPCs goes beyond Web3 and involves data custody in general.

- Encourage coopetition using data privacy offerings for computing over encrypted data. Companies such as [3] provides technologies around this using different strategies such as homomorphic encryption or security enclaves. For example we are working with pharmaceutical companies to share stats without revealing their private information. This could also be appled to a lot of industried. Idea: share Google Analytics / AdWords data for improving markets? The problem is politics, not technology, the technology already exists.

- Full backed stable coins to provide more liquidity to the ecosystem. It is a nice business: you create a stable coin backed by real money, the real money gains interest (efective FED rate at 4.25% - 4.50% [4]) while the stable coins are the same.

- Declarative programming languages for smart contracts. Since smart contract use cases could be reduced to a few use cases (beyond outliers) it could be useful to just declare and compose their features. Some blockchains such as Algorand have been playing around this but a lot of work needs to be done.

- Automated and assisted tools for security code reviews (static, dynamic). More stuff like [5]

- Descentralized stable coins: there are less popular ones that worked better than the top one (DAI). This means they resisted the fluctuations while DAI failed. For example https://moneyonchain.com/

- Better testing and sandbox infraestructure. For example, if you want to play with Uniswap protocol in the testnet the coin pairs don't have the real price and/or fake liquidity to play with. They could even put mocks to play with.

- Adversarial analysis of popular blockchain models. Bitcoin is most studied one but we have a blind spot on others.

He donated 200M, the fair market value of priority treatment at a hospital for himself and family via a special phone number for decades could represent a significant fraction of that 200 Million.

Pulling numbers out of a hat, 200k/year * 5 people * 25 years is 25 million. Though the IRS could easily define the fair market value as whatever the minimum donation to receive this level of service.

Sure running the phone number isn’t currently that expensive, but fair market value of this service is limited by their ability to provide it. They would essentially need to auction off a fixed number of slots per year and in NYC that those slots wouldn’t run cheap. Alternatively, they would need a lot of full time specialists who mostly waited around for VIP’s.

You make it sound like farming is just as hard as a regular job, plus a great deal of manual labor, plus the constant risk of total crop failure because of weather etc.
Using fastmail atm, but going to migrate to my server eventually (because I like to tinker with servers in my spare time). I'm using mail mostly to receive email, so sending mail reliably is not a priority for me.

That said, I used to host my mail server for a while and my mail always went to Gmail inboxes. My recipients don't use some exotic providers like outlook or yahoo, so it was pretty smoooth for me. I know that people have issues with self-hosting mail, so may be it was just luck for me.

My opinion is that as long as you correctly configured stuff on your side, it boils down to IP history and reputation. So buy VPS from some expensive provider in a reputable country (so spammers are unlikely to host in this provider), ensure that received IP is clean (and its subnet is clean), set up DNS, keep it running for few months and it should be good.
A few days ago I was going through an old Gmail account, and decided to get my data through Takeout. Told me it'd take a few hours, and the next day I had a link ready. Click the link, enter the password, it tells me I need a verification code that it wants to send to an address that stopped existing 15 years ago.

As it turns out, Google is not sufficiently convinced that I am in fact the owner of the account, so it refuses to let me download the data. I don't feel inclined to spend time trying to figure out this nonsense, but thankfully none of the information in that account is particularly important. I'll take it as a sign that I should just move away from Google, because next time the information on an account could be actually important, and I'd be screwed.
I save into several text files (20 files) ... one big one ( >100k lines) for anything software related organized using labels like

curl tricks _____________

something here about curl

then most anything else goes into a second big file mostly grab bag ... then I have other specific files for : travel, nyc, todo, videos, etc

then from a terminal I can grep into each using say :

grep -B20 -A20 someSearchString workfile

in above the parms A and B return the surrounding lines from the matching line of txt file ... then to further filter output I sometime pipe output of above grep into another grep

using this process I find I can retrieve anything I have stored I just need to save each item into a meaningful label using above xxxx tricks ... this process works just fine ... have been using this for past decade or more

naturally all of these files are auto backed up to the cloud ... currently using mega.io yet previously was using dropbox

PS. I use a ubuntu linux laptop/desktop
Your examples work against you, I think. So, in 20 years we have some incremental improvements. I think ‘82 - ‘02 was a bit more dramatic than your example. AGI requires crossing a barrier that we don’t really know is realistically possible with the type of technology we have currently.

There are a lot of pop crap radio now, WoW just released another expansion, the latest iPhone has some pretty forgettable features compared to previous iterations, etc. It’s not like the world is exponentially different in 20 years.
This is good advice. Farming yourself will be an uphill battle. You will learn, but it will take some time and it helps if you have someone to guide you because so much of it is experience based. You can probably lease the land to a local farmer to farm it for you. You could maybe even convince them to take you on as a farm hand and teach you how to do it as part of the deal.

As said, there is a lot that goes into farming these days and almost everyone specializes in a crop or two. The folks that do it the old fashion ways without adapting are usually going under because their yields are poor / inconsistent. This will likely be you if you go at it alone, so unless you are okay with eating some losses then I would get help.
I totally do errands more often when it is comfortable and low effort. 100%. Moreover, sometimes I am not driving because I am tired or because I have been drinking alcohol. Actual full self driving would absolutely mean me taking car in those situations.

In which case you are holding Tesla to an impossible standard, which we don't hold human drivers do.

If I see sesame in an ingredients list, and I discover that really means “we don’t deep clean the oven conveyer after cooking sesame products”, I think I’d feel at least a little tricked.
I host at a couple of levels:

* Mail in a Box for a bunch of low-volume domains, hosted on a major cloud provider VM. Total SMTP volume ~2k outbound emails a month. This was previously hosted on my own server in a datacenter.

* Plesk/Postfix for a higher volume domain tied to a nonprofit, SMTP relayed out through Amazon AWS. Total SMTP volume ~100k emails a month. Likely moving this to a standalone Mail in a Box installation as well.

Neither has given me any deliverability issues, but I did take the time to register with Google Postmaster, Microsoft's similar service, etc. The only problem I ever encountered was a spammer getting hold of a transactional account last year for about a week -- Google put a hard bounce on not just the server IP but also all domains tied to it. Took about 2-3 weeks before they decided to trust it again.

Why not? It's just another tool in the security game.

I want to be with you on thinking that all obfuscation is malicious, I know that individuals have every right to obfuscation and privacy as a matter of the 1st and 4th amendments in the US, but I'm not sure I can always say that obfuscation by a corporation is evil, without a more compelling argument. I'm as anti-establishment as they come, too.

The fundamental problem here is that there is no way to get support from google that is a human being.

I dream of a day when the US government retakes the mantle of consumer protection. Proposed regulation #2 (after eviscerating privacy violation) is that all services must meet certain customer service standards, including having a way to get to a human being.

I know I am dreaming hard here, but there once was a time when consumer protection was on the rise...

Very little time.

ML has been creating meaningful results since the 1960s.

It is a strong indication that nothing useful will come out from the remaining 20%, which is probably wishful thinkers.

But then again, hope is not proof, lines of code is not a product, hours spent tinkering is not quality, big ideas is not real world impact.

Right now, and for the past 10 years, this space has been a lot less useful than what came out from imagining FTL travel or colonizing Mars.

But costed nearly as much (actually, more: going to Mars costs around ~2.7 billions, while This year, more than $3.8B has been poured into startups in the Web3 space)

If I believed in conspiracies I would say that the criminal cartels of the World have found the perfect tool to wash their dirty money. It works much better than pumping art.

I have doubts about that. I wouldn't want to remotely drive that without much better cameras at the very least. Advanced planning to be in the right lane or avoid obstacles is hard when the details are just a couple pixels.
I think the biggest shift is less the emergence of skepticism which was always there, and more that the people who would previously counter that Elon had always shown impeccable judgement and laser focus on big decisions, that we should trust him the promised FSD would be delivered soon or that he truly believed in the cause of free speech and would completely transform social media for the better tend to have gone a bit quiet.
This has been my struggle. From my POV it's such a dumb allergy to have -- like I feel so stupid bringing it up. But on the other hand, are sesame seeds really that awesome that my food needs to be able to kill me.... for what exactly?

I'm still running an older Postfix. Mostly incoming but a few outgoing. Have SPF, DKIM and DMARC configured. My sent mails don't go to Spam except for some times on o365. That issue is well documented, even MXRoute has that issue.
I suspect this might not have happened on a lower profile case. While in principle the idea here is that the court weighs the facts and the judge makes sure that it happens and ends up with a verdict, the reality is that with enough money it gets changed into some weird sports-gameshow hybrid where irrelevant bits of data are used to weasel out of responsibility.

Perhaps one of the issues here is the (apparent?) amount of personal input a judge can have, so if a judge were to dislike the taste of tomatoes and they have to hear a case on ketchup, they might act differently than a judge that doesn't really care about tomato-taste either way. But since all of this (generally) revolves around humans, removing all wiggle room is problematic as well (since laws are not humans, but are rather static).
And as usual with these nice simple narratives, there's no evidence this actually happened (and compelling evidence that it didn't):
