Not sure what you're getting at WRT amino acids. Amino acids form due to the particular chemistry of carbon (what we call "organic chemistry"[1]), and they do so wherever both energy and the building blocks of amino acids exist. No planet required.

This was shown pretty well by the Miller-Urey experiments[2] as well as the discovery of amino acids in interstellar molecular clouds[0].

So...Amino acids can (and do) form wherever the raw materials and energy exist. That's the "how".

SAML shouldn't be too hard if you use a library or a service such as Auth0. What problems did you have that made it so difficult?

I think you mean vertical, right?
While I agree this is the ideal, it's often hard to be newcomer-friendly while keeping a stable interface (absolutely needed to build a muscle memory). You can reduce the feature set, but then it doesn't work for power users.

An example of this is that new users often expect conventions they're used to; and both vim and emacs predate a lot of these, like Ctrl-S for saving.

Muscle memory can also be a sign for poorly designed software, where simple actions require a lot of repetitive steps. At least, it's easy to go fast with a keyboard.
As an example, I learned by heart some sub-sub-menu items in Cadence, accessed by Alt+x,y,z (I'm thankful for these underlined letters in toolbars).
Kubernetes is useful if you have many teams working on things in parallel and you want them to deploy in similar ways to not have to reinvent the same wheel in 5 different ways by 5 different teams. If you don't have multiple teams, you don't need it.

I grew up working on cars, repairing them, modifying them, and building them from the ground up, including race cars and advanced driving systems for severely handicapped folks that drove while sitting in their wheelchairs. Did that until I was in my early 30s.

I've worked with and for some fairly famous racers. Tony Nancy, Sonny Easly, Larry Fullerton to name a few. Built custom driving systems for Teddy Pendergrass and Jill Kilmont (and a few 100s of others. I learned a lot very fast doing that.

Safe driving requires the ability to predict what drivers around you will do. Almost everyone of those folks I met who were involve in a crash were at least partially responsible and most often distracted by something.

When those touchscreens first came out I was stunned because there is no way a driver can focus on those and driving at the same time. That's obviously impossible and it only takes a second of driver distraction to get into a crash situation ("accident" is not a valid description for this).

A driver can learn how to change the radio station on those old manual push button/twist knob interfaces while keeping their eyes on the road. But you cannot do that with a touchscreen (even though the original Apple interface used those physical interfaces as a design model for their graphic interface widgets).

And some of those screens are obnoxiously huge and are not very intuitive. So the root of the problem is the driver must focus on the screen to find the option they want to interact with and that is a huge distraction from "driving" the vehicle.

So what's really concerning is their are there a fast growing number folks who think they can safely use them. A quick search on that brought this up: "a recent study by the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) indicates that distracted driving-related fatalities are on the rise, increasing nearly ten percent from 2018 to 2019." []

Fair to say close to nothing is being done to address that.

I started building my 1st custom car for myself when I was 14 years old and had it street legal and registered shortly after I turned 16 and got my license. It was a "Hot Rod 50 Ford" coupe with a 350 Chevy engine and auto trans. I lived in LA and there was a vibrant "Street Racing" culture there, but I never raced. By then I'd already seen so much death and injury from car crashes that I knew every car on the road with me was dangerous.

I am 63 years old now. I have never been in an accident. Never gotten a moving violation citation, or any kind of "ticket". It's not been difficult but I have had to dodge a few car and truck sized bullets over the years.

Lots of comments about this being the wrong group of people to initiate this. Others playing the “is it really the same thing” card.

I find myself torn. They are often sound/reasoned arguments. But I also struggle because the state of play isn’t right either. Social media engagement is now one of the leading causes cited in divorces. My wife and I of nearly 30 years have to battle this ourselves. Something seems clearly wrong with our surveillance economy, yet we struggle to come up with sound reasoned diagnoses and remedies. I guess that’s why it persists.

So I end up both thinking this suit is “silly” and at the same time cheering them on because continued optimization along this evolving status quo vector just seems so obviously wrong.
I would be so far from shocked if we found out soon that plastic grocery bag / straw bans were a psi-op by big oil/plastic manufacturers to make people hate the idea of reducing single-use plastic. I couldn't have picked a more inconvenient and inconsequential place to start legislating if I had tried.

A ban on plastic soda bottles? Great! There's are existing non-plastic solutions, nobody would be negatively impacted, and we'd see that reducing our plastic use can be easy and not require major sacrifices. Instead we come up against it every time we buy a beverage or go to the grocery store.
You have no idea how the UI of Amazon's internal tools, whrn it comes to Retail and Fulfillment, look like, do you?
I'm not entirely sure I agree with this - most auth providers are very expensive, and if you don't need the full-featured offering, you are way overpaying for the engineering time to build your replacement.

If you need all the features, it's a good deal, but you rarely do unless you are building something like Notion or Jira.

Open source components (Ory) can do the basic cryptography, and if you go completely from scratch, the NIST and their European counterparts have well-written standards for how to do this, and if you follow the relevant parts of the standard, you will get something essentially perfect without the baggage.

It's extremely annoying. The reality is, python can deploy or isolate any way you'd like, but because there isn't one canonical way to do it, everyone comes up with their own system. My best guess about why this is the case is because python is over 30 years old, so they've reinvented the packaging wheel (ha, .whl) four of five times, leading to massive confusion.

That's the way it is with any optional X11 or Wayland extension. Either you implement the extension yourself, or you use a library to implement it for you. Typically the code to do this is put in a toolkit, but you decided to write your own toolkit so you get to deal with the annoyance. Nothing's changed in this regard. Actually, most optional things in Linux are like this and it's been this way since shared libraries were implemented. If you find the idea of this so off-putting, maybe you should be using a pre-made toolkit instead of writing your own?

> Qt for MCU [..] seems like a big advantage over Qt LGPL-3.0. I have my doubts. MCUs powerful enough to run Qt GUIs smoothly are more expensive than, say, an i.MX6ULL with a Cortex-A7 application processor and Linux. It’s a lot easier to find developers for an embedded Linux system ...

This is a very convincing argument. A Linux embedded system is also more flexible and the degree of code reusability is usually higher; it's also easier to develop and debug, and one can profit of a huge ecosystem (e.g. OTA update and the like).

I'm going to preface this criticism by saying that I think exercises like this are fun in an architectural/prototyping code-golf kinda way.

However, I think the author critically under-guesses the sizes of things (even just for storage) by a reasonably substantial amount. e.g.: Quote tweets do not go against the size limit of the tweet field at Twitter. Likely they are embedding a tweet reference in some manner or other in place of the text of the quoted tweet itself but regardless a tweet takes up more than 280 unicode characters.

Also, nowhere in the article are hashtags mentioned. For a system like this to work you need some indexing of hashtags so you aren't doing a full scan of the entire tweet text of every tweet anytime someone decides to search for #YOLO. The system as proposed is missing a highly critical feature of the platform it purports to emulate. I have no insider knowledge but I suspect that index is maybe the second largest thing on disk on the entire platform, apart from the tweets themselves.

How much bandwidth does Twitter use for images and videos? Less than 1.4Tb/s globally? If so, we could probably fit that onto a second machine. We can currently serve over 700Gb/s from a dual-socket Milan based server[1]. I'm still waiting for hardware, but assuming there are no new bottlenecks, that should directly scale up to 1.4Tb/s with Genoa and ConnectX-7, given the IO pathways are all at least twice the bandwidth of the previous generation.

There are storage size issues (like how big is their long tail; quite large I'd imagine), but its a fun thing to think about.

Methamphetamine is a troubling drug. As difficult as vodka socially, and much easier to consume. As a example of "better living through chemistry" it is really a counter example. (I think that was the point)

But there are so many better examples:

* MDMA

LSD

Viagra

* Methylphenidate

MDMA in particular revolutionizes social interaction in the same way as alcohol, with fewer health consequences, albethey not zero.

For some people Methylphenidate is a wonderful brain tonic. (Ritalin)

Better living through chemistry is possible. Professional labs, quality control et etcetera are required, not prohibition and sketchy underground chemists
I think you are confused about what "standing" means, it is the "legal capicity to sue". It generally means being directly harmed in a manner that the court can redress with a favorable decision.

So it is quite possible that the court will say SPS has standing but decide against them because of the vagueness of the public nuisance law.
"People seem to accept that it's all downhill from here"

Strange, I know plenty of people that do see an upside, including myself. It's a choice to believe things can and will get better.

Unless you have a crystal ball, we're both choosing to believe in an unknown future. So choosing to believe it will get worse is no different from believing it will get better. Although one is arguably better for mental health.

What if your unique machine crash?
Fair comment.

The one thing I never understood is why Rust was created instead of a stricter C++ compiler/standard? In some jobs I have worked some of this stuff has been enforced by purposefully making the compile crash if you try to do some black magic - I'm sure it could be done more elegantly.

I think this would have been the easiest way to get C/C++ people onboard if 99% of their code just worked as is.

Probably. Obviously you would want to make an exception for people that were using that money on rent and food, ( People making under 200k/year). But someone like Kevin O'Leary clearly isn't going to be homeless if they take back his 15M. And also Tom Brady. I don't think Tom Brady was trying to scam anyone, but if Tom Brady bought car and then later found out that the car was stolen and the paperwork was forged, I'm sure he would want the car returned to the rightful owner.

I type moderately fast (can hit 150 wpm, average 110wpm on typing tests) so one of my favorite methods is transcription. I just verbatim type out what the speaker is saying. I can keep up if I leave out filler words, blow past typos and ignore punctuation.

If I need to recall I just go back and read it again.

Edit: Why not record? Because people get weird about it, I’m not allowed to, or literally illegal. Also, playback at 3x speeds still too slow vs reading. Scanning skipping and repeat also too much friction.

Freedesktop standards can't include everything, it only makes sense to standardize "lowest common denominator" features that you know every desktop won't have a problem implementing. And since this is all open source and everyone can do whatever they want, participation in freedesktop is voluntary anyway. You can do the best possible job you can writing a standard and some desktop can still reject it for any reason they want.
> AR

First, I've been following Oculus since it was covered in black masking tape and you could only play Doom 3, by aiming with your face. OTOH my experience with HoloLens is that it is basically non-functional. And other Microsoft apps are years behind tool chains developed at "tiny ants" like Valve (ie, Maquette) One of these things is clearly more capital efficient than the other -- talking down markets to seek M&A opportunities, aside.

> Data centers

It's not about the tech with them, it's about being a shell company of shell companies. Disastrously inefficient. What happens when someone builds Helium for personal cloud services?

There's more examples though of them sloppily oozing into ad tech, ed tech, those are just two examples of Microsoft's half-problematic approach to segment expansion.

> Valuation

I was referring primarily to the Market cap -- Apple is priced 17.9% larger.

> Margins

It's a flywheel, but they never seem to be planning for the future, just to exist as a spike pit for companies that build good products to fall into. And even as an investment they're priced as growth, and their dividend yield is atrocious. He needs to take notes from (probably dishonest) Cook and claim it's going into self-driving cars, AR headsets, and green biotech research, and markets will price it in right away.

I get that money rules the world, and these companies are all just mountain climbing walls of debt, cash flows, and consumer-facing markets as gravity, but some of the loose rocks I'm calling forth here should really be the concern, not an outlook on how global banks, investors, and hedge funds are going to be shuffling cash around in the next 2 years. This type of talk is a shellgame, totally out of line for a CEO, it's not 5 years forward -- it's not even 5 years behind where Microsoft typically lingers, it's just very disagreeable to me.

Surely, this company has runway that their CEO can focus on building unique, immaculate, must-have products rather than going on TV and whining that debt is too expensive, claiming you don't need schooling to use the product, and predicting everyone in all other sectors is going to use whatever Microsoft puts out in perpetuity.
