> the solution is not limited by cost

I'm not so sure... The valuation seems a bit absurd to me. Using the same valuation system, what would be the valuation of Earth?

Cost of extraction and transportation is still (and always) a consideration. Would the asteroid be significantly cheaper to mine than metal-rich veins on Earth? Even given hypothetical technology, could we not apply the same technologies to mine the same metals here on Earth cheaper?

I don't know the answers to these questions, but they're interesting to ponder.
I've felt similarly about csgo. It's the game I always come back to when I just want to jump into a game and have some mindless fun. I used it as my tool to separate work from home when the pandemic started. I'd work my 8 hours then play an hour of casual csgo and that helped my mental health a bit.
It could be self-motivated bias but I speculate it is likely not even that. Enforced bias. The person doesn't actually believe this is the correct moderation yet drifts to the direction of "online acceptable" to stay out of trouble. To get activists of their back.

You can be sure that if you launch a tool like this, within the hour the first tweet comes "look how racist this is!!!!!", which then goes viral.

The particular user having that goal in mind already, and supremely happy that it is so. It validates them and rewards them, this hysterical addiction to division and outrage. The AI being racist (or perceived to be so) didn't happen to them from good faith usage (as an unwelcome surprise they came across), the outcome is actively chased and fabricated: how can I make it look racist?

That's how broken and hostile the environment has become. In these conditions, both companies and individuals have to over-correct.
Egress pricing is crazy, but I don't know that it's anti-competitive? I don't think it fits the definition of tying, because you egress isn't unrelated to the other services.

There's certainly a lot of margin in their egress pricing, and that may allow them to operate portions of their service with smaller margins, and maybe that's anti-competitive, but it's not like any of their services are low cost, so I don't think there's really a case that they're dumping and using bandwidth to cover it. Everything is expensive. There's no law against that.

If you have enough egress, and you can't negotiate better pricing (which is an option!), you should probably consider AWS direct connect (or similar) and send your egress out through cheaper transit elsewhere.

I'm obsessed with showers and also wonder why we are so spectacularly bad at making consistently good showerheads with consistently good pressure and temperature control.

One issue the author overlooks is that we have minimal control over the temperature of the cold water, and this temperature fluctuates throughout the year (at least here in NY, not so much where I lived in SF). As a result, the range of the dial I use changes from summer to winter. There are hot parts of the dial I use everyday in the winter that would simply burn me if I used them in the summer.

Temperature can even change during the course of the shower! I notice this mostly in the winter. I speculate this is due to the cold water in my building pipes being used up and then replaced by the truly cold water from underground. I once tried to shower with that icy water when the hot water went out (just before a big trip) and I managed to completely numb my lower body (I did not have the fortitude to try and shower my upper body too).

I recommend you to read the "Win32 Is the Only Stable ABI on Linux" post. Sums up perfectly why Wine is needed and doing perfectly https://blog.hiler.eu/win32-the-only-stable-abi/

The TLDR is that easier to make games for Windows (single OS and API) and just maintaining Wine/Proton (works across all distros) than actually making a Linux build too of the game.

You don't need a computer, or even electricity. Thermostatic shower valves are 100% mechanical, and work beautifully. There are models available that will automatically compensate for both temperature and pressure changes, keeping the output temperature constant.
I have a Gröhe thermostatic valve which came with the house. It's somehow broken such that you can't get the water as hot as advertised unless the dishwasher is running (?). And it's installed behind tile, so we can't just get a plumber to come in and replace it; we have to also line up someone to re-tile the shower immediately afterward.

We also have a pair of Gröhe sinks. We had to replace all four expensive, proprietary faucet hoses one-by-one as they ruptured. And then a couple more. It turns out they're short enough that it's hard to install them without kinking, and that eventually causes them to rupture.

I'm not a Gröhe fan.

(It also takes several minutes for the water to come to temperature in that particular shower, though it's only about 10 feet away from the water heater. I think the sink fixtures are affected too which suggests it's not all the shower valve's fault. It might be that we have pipes that are indirect and/or way too high-capacity, such that the total volume of water to drain between the water heater and the bathroom is excessive, and this is particularly obvious when using a low-flow shower-head.)
Not for us, right now. We have if anything the opposite problem.

Investment in crypto (including bitcoin) is comparable to mailing money orders to Nigerian scammers.

None of this was convicted.

Lots of people are accused of all types of things. Some people get convicted of stuff they didn't do, but this happens much less often than wild accusations.
> Men are genuinely, testably, provably, empirically more violent than women.

It's widely known among researchers that women initiate domestic violence more frequently compared to men.

I first learned about this from a famous feminist (woman) from the UK.
Then the New Yorker could have said that instead of what they said.
Those are excellent suggestions. I think we are probably at the point where you could do a Great Books curriculum in Computer Science. Would be interesting to put together that list: 10-20 foundational primary texts in Algorithms, Programming/Software Engineering, Logic, AI, and Computer Architecture.

But, as you note, it'd probably be a terrible way to actually learn how to engineer software. More intellectually satisfying, though :)

> It's amusing that they have students read Pikkety's "Capital" before Marx's "Capital".

I get why it's amusing, but it also makes sense. Marx's "Capital" is kind of a beast. Pikkety's is written more-or-less toward a modern general audience. If I were sequencing these books in a student's intellectual development, Pikkety definitely comes before Marx.
That's just applying a completely different and irrelevant metric to dismiss the point of the previous poster.

The arms race of "fast trash" websites vs quality search results is not being won by Google or anyone else as of today. Google having a business model that doesn't even incentivize them to win that race =/= Google not losing that race. It's closer to them giving up in defeat, which is a loss for all of us (many times over).
Two 30m standups in a day aren’t really standups. That’s starting your day with an hour of meetings. Which is probably partly responsible for killing the momentum you need to get through your work.

You’re anxiety is likely because you don’t feel safe sharing the amount of progress you did or didn’t make. Unless your working on the most basic boring stuff, you’re not going to have the same rate of progress—at least not in a manner that is easily digestible in a standup.

I’ve seen this play out in so many teams over the last decade. A standup shouldn’t be a daily grilling on progress by higher-ups. If you’re team is full of adults and professionals, you don’t need hurrying along.

IMHO A standup over 15m means the team is too big, or you’re all sharing too much.

The most useful thing I’ve found standups do is surface blockers to the whole team, as there is often someone who can help that you might not expect.

If you need to go deep into anything, do it after the standup so others can leave.
Not sure i follow, are you assuming i'm in favor of other countries policies that match Israel?

To be fair i know little on the subject, and don't claim to. The only reason i said "i can understand .." is that i know it's a hot-button topic. Israel is often portrayed in the west as being overly militaristic towards neighboring areas. The United States itself does similar, depending on who you ask.

I judge both quite harshly on this front. I also know very little about world politics. Both in ignorance and on purpose, heh.
Small correction: Consulting gigs are not a paycut. They are a pay multiplier.
Putting on your conspiracy hat... there seems to be a very coordinated effort to claim that "big tech" is over and done for. Just look at all the articles regurgitating some form of that. That the end of "free money" killed tech.

If anything, these results show quite the opposite. Google and the like have been quite resilient. Sure, obviously unprofitable companies are done for. We all knew that was coming. But all signs are pointing to a 1-2 year period of realignment rather than anything truly seismic.

Even facebook was able to refocus some of its bets on the metaverse fairly quickly.

All that seems to have changed is that investors are no longer OK with 50+% YOY hiring growth and gigantic bets on obviously moonshot projects taking up a good chunk of the portfolio.

I bought a laptop from System76 with Pop_OS! installed.

After turning on wifi and running the updates, I then installed emacs, firefox, and KDE from the Pop_OS! repo, then ran the updates again.

Instead of continuing the process of "moving in", I found apt was now in an error state with what appears to be some broken circular dependencies. My immediate conclusion was that Pop_OS! is either flaky or I was unlucky enough to use their system for the first time just as they had a packaging bug that affected me.

I don't think putting out a solid distro is a trivial thing. System76 probably put in a lot of effort into their (IMHO weird) desktop environment. They also have been promoting donation subscriptions for Pop_OS! development support. Based on my experience, I wonder if they bit off more than they could chew, squandering effort on flashy things rather than doing the basics well.

Well, since dimorphic means "occurring in or representing two distinct forms", I think you are likely 100% correct.

I can't speak in general, but I've noticed that the kids that get most attached to reading at a young age often are the ones that have parents take them to public libraries as an outing. Bonus points in that it counts as quality time with the child.

Or, even though they often watched the typical junk stuff too, they started (slowly, and sometimes retroactively) applying literary thinking to that as well, and it helped them develop their taste and thinking skills.
It was also called election intervention to post about Hunter Biden's laptop. Twitter banned any links to the New York Post article about it. When I first saw the article, I was thinking "Republicans trying to make a big deal out of nothing" which was probably right, but really the reaction on the other side made it a big deal.
I'm not super familiar with the space nowadays, but a few years ago cross-platform apps were full of compromises. Mobile apps wouldn't look native (tiny things like a being a pixel or two off) or they wouldn't support Linux. Maybe it's better with Flutter -- I've heard good things about it.

Additionally, Electron apps not only work as a standalone app, but you can often access a near identical version of the app in your browser. For example, you can either download Discord or Slack as a desktop app, or open them in your browser.

I'm not saying this comes for free; these apps are very heavy, and Flutter/React Native would probably produce more efficient apps.
I'm from Juarez, Centro Medico de Especialidades was the hospital we all went to back in the day.

That's a fair question. According to FBI homicide statistics for 2018 [1] and US demographics [2], the Black homicide rate per 100k is 7.9, while the White+Hispanic rate [3] is 1.2. The female (of all races) homicide rate is 0.42.

So the Black homicide rate is 6.7x higher than the White+Hispanic rate, while the White+Hispanic homicide rate is 2.8x higher than the female (all races) rate.

Edit: A different source [4] gives different figures, but these are "age adjusted": 20.9 for non-Hispanic Blacks, and 2.6 for non-Hispanic Whites.

[1] https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2018/crime-in-the-u.s.-... - and using homicide instead of something as nebulous as "violence" because it is the statistic most difficult to distort, and is immune to over-policing.

[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_United_Sta...

[3] The FBI counts Hispanics as White, and has a separate 'Ethnicity' category where they mark Hispanic or Latino. Assuming all Hispanics in that table were counted as White yields an even lower White homicide rate.

I think one major network in the US is 720p60, but the vast majority of broadcast transmissions globally is 1080i25 or 1080i30*

Of course sadly so much content is produced at 1080p24 nowadays for that “film” effect it’s rather meaningless for display purposes.

Online of course it tends to be p50 or more commonly p60 (even in 50hz countries). YouTubeers tend to be able to afford more lights and clearer microphones than big budget productions too.

I built a travel-planning site over Christmas: https://www.daystodo.com/

I'm planning on posting a blog about my experience here at some point, but it was fun. You can find a draft of it on the site if you're interested in my thoughts on using it as datasource for an app.

Basically, I agree - you need to use DaVinci to get good results and it's expensive. That means restricting the amount of queries a user can make (I do it through restricting the inputs a user has) and saving the results, so other users get the saved results instead of hitting OpenAI.

For more free-form inputs, I think the only option is to make users pay a small fee (which is tough, because even DaVinci struggles sometimes and I don't want users paying for errors). I'm also experimenting with AdSense but I doubt it'll cover the costs.

I wouldn't say I plan to 'make money' but with luck it might be my first side-project that will break even

I’m not sure that’s the reason why it’s only worth campaigning in Georgia, Wisconsin, Arizona and some other states during presidential elections.

Also it is the system that was designed over 100-200 years ago. The problem is the lack of meaningful reform because the people in power are there only because of the current system.

That’s the reason why is it so hard to change electoral system without some external/internal shock. And “unfortunately” US has been way too stable politically during the 20th century compared to most other countries.

Almost no one is predicting any more than a mild recession if one even happens. Labor markets may be loosening a bit but ultimately this is all in the fed's court.

At this point, markets have figured out the song and dance. The fed issues an extremely hawkish statement. Then it hikes rates a bit less than last time while saying it has a commitment to keep their finger on things till inflation comes down. Markets react in a tempered manner. Repeat.

The layoffs truly suck for those affected by them. But it's not looking at all like 2008 let alone 2000. The businesses are not fundamentally in bad shape. They just bloated and will have moderately underwhelming earnings for a few quarters.

> Mac -28.72% YoY

Macs are quality machines that have a longevity, so most consumers aren't replacing them every two years. I think Apple should get serious about infiltrating enterprise, the world of Microsoft, with seamless desktop solutions that won't cause any extra work for IT. They could pick up a lot of sales with inexpensive hardware undercutting base model PCs for non-power users by creating secretary suites and suites for desk-monkeys that don't use anything more esoteric than email, office apps and web, while cutting power costs dramatically, as long as the software seamlessly integrates with Active Directory, Exchange/O365, and other Microsoft technologies without any hassle or learning curve, and machines that just work without generating any IT incidents, ever or rarely. This seems like a no-brainer to me, because it's kind of silly and expensive giving a secretary a $800-$2500 base model HP or Dell running Windows 11. They should also try to attract power users with more performant Apple Silicon, but the entire point rests on a proactive developer team issuing fast updates to fix Microsoft periodically breaking things with their updates, and never allow Microsoft to confound the Apple enterprise initiative, as Microsoft will undoubted try to do at every turn.

Not Mac sales related, but I also think Apple should infiltrate and take over the residential kitchen with advanced, efficient utilities, a refrigerator, an inductive range top, a microwave that doesn't "KLUNK!" when the door is closed, a toaster-broiler, maybe a faucet and purifier.

And I think they should do these things before they ever release any VR/AR hardware and get burned like everyone else in the history of VR/AR.

That may be true, but we should still avoid false equivalencies. There is scientific evidence for a casual relationship between testosterone and violence. Even if that is debated and there is no full consensus, there is still more evidence for it than there is for the idea that a person's race has a casual relationship on their propensity for violence all else being equal.
There is zero consensus that there is a "non-human intelligence visiting Earth". There is, one could argue, a phenomenon of some kind, either real or imagined, but nobody seems to know what it is. And yes, I’m familiar with the subject, and I’ve been following it for decades.

Also, I think "disclosure" is somewhat of a misnomer. If people don’t know what it is, there’s nothing to disclose. People have been beating the disclosure drum for years. Nothing really has happened except some people made a bit of money selling people on the idea.

And for all intents and purposes, our world-spanning civilization is much too primitive to even begin to disclose something like this if it were true. 85% of the people on this planet believe in superstitious nonsense. We aren’t ready to accept the existence of aliens on other worlds or parallel universes, let alone accept our own brothers and sisters who have a different skin color.

Given what I’ve seen of humanity, the zoo hypothesis is the best thing we can hope for. We just are incredibly stupid as a species at this time and place. I can’t imagine why any alien would want to have anything to do with us.
